Shop LitNXT: https://genxgrownup.com/litnxt In this video, Jon takes a look at the R36 MAX handheld gaming device compatible with ArkOS — a budget-friendly retro handheld that punches far above its price point. The R36 MAX is designed to emulate a wide range of classic systems while staying affordable and portable. With its 4-inch 720p display, dual analog controls, and Linux-based firmware, this device can handle many classic platforms including NES, SNES, Sega Genesis, Game Boy, PlayStation 1, and more — with some limited support for later systems like N64 depending on the game. Installing ArkOS can significantly improve the experience compared to stock firmware. ArkOS offers a cleaner interface, better emulator configuration, and more control over performance settings, making it a popular choice among retro handheld enthusiasts. #retrogaming #handheld #atari #genxgrownup - SHOP Shop LitNXT: genxgrownup.com/litnxt http://genxgrownup.com/amazon http://GenXGrownUp.com/merch - PODCAST http://GenXGrownUp.com/pod - SUPPORT US https://patreon.com/genxgrownup - WEB & SOCIAL http://GenXGrownUp.com/discord https://twitch.tv/genxgrownup http://fb.me/GenXGrownUp https://bsky.app/profile/genxgrownup.com https://www.tiktok.com/@genxgrownup https://www.instagram.com/genxgrownup/ http://GenXGrownUp.com - SPONSORS King of Nerds » http://kingofnerds.tv Order of Cosmic Champions » http://www.orderofcosmicchampions.com - CHAPTERS 00:00 Something Different 02:30 Box & Contents 04:45 Hardware Tour 08:58 Power On 09:43 Screen & Volume 10:20 Mappy & Aspect 12:39 Casey's Gold 14:05 Robotron & OTG 15:30 7800 Asteroids 16:25 Slime World 17:45 Lynx Rygar 18:24 DK Country 20:25 Diddy Racing 21:24 Crazy Taxi 2 22:45 PSX Double Dragon 23:13 Vice City Stories 24:01 Vectrex Berzerk 25:02 1941 CPS-1 25:45 Missile Command & Remap 27:35 Summary

AYANEO has revealed the KONKR Pocket Advance, a modern retro handheld wrapped in the familiar horizontal shape of the original Game Boy Advance. With a widescreen display and the potential for far more powerful emulation than other GBA-style handhelds, could this little machine eventually handle systems like the PlayStation 2 and GameCube? There’s plenty to be excited about—but AYANEO still hasn’t revealed the processor, price, release date, or final performance specs. Also this week, a Brazilian court orders Microsoft to restore a hacked gamer’s Xbox account and digital library, Mario Kart Wii is recompiled for PC with potential 4K support and more than 200 tracks, and the RPCS3 emulator passes the milestone of making over 75% of the PlayStation 3 library playable. Plus, an unofficial Virtua Racing emulator brings Sega’s arcade classic to PC and Xbox with eight-player online racing, Evercade raises cartridge prices in the UK and Europe, Super Mario 64 somehow becomes “sort of” functional on the Panasonic 3DO, and Afterplay reveals that PSP and Dreamcast support are the most likely additions coming next to its browser-based emulation platform.

Shop Fightbox: https://genxgrownup.com/fightbox A fake sick day, a borrowed Ferrari, a principal on the warpath, and one unforgettable parade through downtown Chicago. In this Backtrack, we’re revisiting Ferris Bueller’s Day Off, John Hughes’ classic 1986 comedy about skipping school, seizing the moment, and somehow making it all look effortless. Forty years later, we’ll talk about why Ferris, Cameron, Sloane, and the city of Chicago still connect with Gen X fans — and why life really does move pretty fast.
