Hooboy. I won a R36S at a hacker conference a few days ago. I love classic games and was eyeing it for a while, but hadn't invested in one because I have emulators all over. In the intervening week, obviously I've bought a case, a wifi dongle for it, the adapter for the wifi dongle, a SD card, a couple shareware utilities to configure it and troubleshoot it, and spent about 8 hours fighting with identifying the screen to install dArkOS and get the wifi dongle working, reconfiguring fstab to get it to see my second micro SD properly, and reloading games.
Well, I now have it working, minus sound (I think that I have a newer and yet unsupported model). But who needs sound when you have Contra? I actually haven't really played any games. I just keep adding stuff to it.
This little guy is going to be a lot of fun, but I think more of a fun hacking and troubleshooting it perhaps, than actually playing the games.
And I've definitely spent more than it cost the prize-givers. XD
Would recommend to train any young gamer-prospective hackers to use linux and fight with hardware! A+++++

@hacks4pancakes I picked up an rg35xx for international flights; it was the perfect formfactor and quite accessible on the software side of things
the last handheld I tinkered with was a playstation portable aeons ago; it was the perfect handheld snes emulator

@hacks4pancakes how did you have an answer to a question I've had recently when you're halfway around the world? My gf was just saying she wants to play N64 games and this device looks perfect...

My sd card lasted about a month, but it has some fun games for a memory trip.
Haven't had tome to install Doom yet.

@Mr_Midnigh7 an R36s (or the many, many clones thereof) is weak enough that N64 is fairly hit or miss. You'd have to go a bit more up-market to get enough CPU for proper emulation.

@hacks4pancakes When I first got into Linux, it turned out that making games run was more fun than playing them ^^

@hacks4pancakes ooh, cool! Just this week been doing a little research on how to get mine to boot some custom code instead of an existing distro.. let me know how your experiments go!

perhaps this may get a exploit finder excited for 5 minutes and then find out that this is fine

@fancysandwiches @lyceris @NNN Being one myself, I don't. It just works. Although maybe I have a boring device, none of those Transformers-named mobile GPUs, which I read can be, um, not-boring on Linux.
