        Got an Anbernic RG Cube and 40XX H recently, and they're such nice little machines. I'm particularly fond of the RG Cube's form.

      Don't buy a third one…
      ok how about buy two now so you have 4 in total, skipping number 3

      No, $22.88 now. Code didn't work when copied from above, but it did when I clicked on it on item!

  • MasterScythe on 18/08/2025 - 20:45

    • AEKaBeer on 18/08/2025 - 21:17

      Go through the different engines for n64, some work better with different titles.

    • NMC on 19/08/2025 - 09:12

      Hit and miss. Some titles work great with a bit of tweaking. There's some guides available online

  • jwh on 18/08/2025 - 20:49

    Paid $14.03 USD. Converted to $21.65 AUD for me with Mastercard rates.

  • SwampyBits on 18/08/2025 - 21:13

    Got mine the other day for $28 but it was a clone so asked for refund and they allowed partial refund of $23 and keep the console. So $5 is not bad

    • Epyc on 18/08/2025 - 21:14

      Thanks for the headsup, how do you check if it's a clone?

      • SwampyBits on 18/08/2025 - 21:21
        +1

        Tbh not sure straight out of the box, i think clones look good now. I updated mine and it broke so had to download the OS and only the clone version worked with mine so thats how i found out

      • PS2isBetterthanPS3 on 18/08/2025 - 21:36

        also curious about this too….

      • skillet on 19/08/2025 - 16:46

        Download Arkos onto own microSD card then test.

    • internet-stranger on 18/08/2025 - 21:24
      +1

      Bummer. They would only give me a full refund on return.
      How did you get a partial refund offer? What option did you use?

      • SwampyBits on 18/08/2025 - 21:27
        +1

        Just went with refund and item defective, typed in the box it was a clone etc. Then it was full refund for $48 i think the price was matching the non sale price then i confirmed and it said 48hrs for email response, then maybe few hours or day later message popped up on refund status in the app saying partial refund for $23 and keep the product. Then accepted and done

        • internet-stranger on 19/08/2025 - 15:17

          Canceled not as described and changed to faulty.
          After 24 hours I got an offer of discount and keep the item. Was only $8, but still brought the cost down to this deal so happy :)
          Also got this deal…. Because why not have multiple

  • internet-stranger on 18/08/2025 - 21:16

    Thanks. Didn’t need another one.
    Will return the one from the last deal as a counterfeit and keep this one for 1/2 the price :)

  • Vitorll on 18/08/2025 - 21:26

    the XX is going for 25USD is it a good deal? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006605176561.html

    • internet-stranger on 18/08/2025 - 22:07

      Yes. Also less likely to be a clone / fake.

      No d-pads though.

      • PainToad on 19/08/2025 - 05:46

        No d-pads though.

        Umm it has a d-pad. It doesn’t have an analog stick.

        • internet-stranger on 19/08/2025 - 15:16

          Hahhahaha sorry. Yes. No analogue sticks. Not sure what I was writing.

      how… new user?

      • gerryg on 19/08/2025 - 06:35

        Old user. Not sure why it showed up in euro too when I haven’t turned on my VPN. I tried the codes but didn’t work.

        After putting the order in, I thought I could get a couple more as a gift then it turns to AUD

  • Rage Roze on 18/08/2025 - 22:41

    Anyone know if taobao is any better for non-clone R36S?
    Kinda hard to tell if its legit just from looking at back of a device from a chinese review on store listing

  • mr_fjackson on 18/08/2025 - 22:45

    I just got this for 11.47 usd (17.70aud), had to use a different account to normal and changed currency to USD, used windows + Firefox, (non of the codes worked. )

    Hopefully that helps someone

    • McMaferMur on 18/08/2025 - 23:01

      Different account to noraml? You mean New user account?

    • McMaferMur on 18/08/2025 - 23:59

      should have pick 64gb if cheaper

    • PainToad on 19/08/2025 - 05:42

      You should throw the sd card in the bin. Paying extra for a larger one is just a waste of money.

      • The Hog on 19/08/2025 - 12:00

        It was the only option when I bought. Hopefully I can recover from this financial disaster.

    • spiev on 19/08/2025 - 07:31

      As I understand it, new accounts get a welcome deal bonus and it factors this into the price of any item loaded without logging in.

  • RedBlueRedBlue2000 on 19/08/2025 - 07:18

    Back in stock. Grabbed one for $14 USD. Thanks OP.

    Can combine with SHOP02 instead to make it eligible for 16% cashback with CR (or SB/TCB)

      @grackfight420 with AUWS05 you get $2 more so its basically almost the same plus someone said code doesnt matter all cashback will pay on aliexpress

  • iChopstick on 19/08/2025 - 08:48

    Best price I can see post tax is circa $25 :( and that's with a $5 off $25 code

    • McMaferMur on 19/08/2025 - 09:06

      25.22 to be exact

  • kronklee on 19/08/2025 - 08:57

    OK I grabbed one, >30 even with the AUAF05 code..

  • sandman87 on 19/08/2025 - 09:23

    Do these consoles with emulators already come loaded with games or do you need to find your own ROM's to put on the device?

    • Hoju on 19/08/2025 - 09:26

      Wondering this too. I had an anbernic and it came with a preloaded SD card full of games.
      Webpage says "games included 15000"
      Ohh but I wanted a peanut…

      • McMaferMur on 19/08/2025 - 09:29

        there are games on the the sd card to start with

    Man this looks crazy fun thank OP

    I assume half of the 15000 games are duplicates
    I remember a fake Gameboy cartridge I once had
    500 in 1 games cartridge
    Including:
    Super mario bros
    Super hyper mario bros
    Super super mario bros

    And so on

  • raiseyoursteaks on 19/08/2025 - 09:45

    • Hoju on 19/08/2025 - 09:56

      Weird. I didn't even have to enter the coupon code to get $18.52

      • McMaferMur on 19/08/2025 - 10:04

        maybe used coins?

        • Hoju on 19/08/2025 - 10:07

          Not aware of any coins, have probably bought 2 or 3 things over 10 years from ali express
