Small correction: you mentioned playing F-Zero X on the N64, but then refer to is as F-Zero GX, which was a separate game for the GameCube.

Thank you so much, you're right! I appreciate it, edit has been made :)
(and sorry, weird thing to get wrong!)
No worries, I enjoyed the write-up!
Excellent write-up! SBCGaming is one of the communities I miss most and I love your breakdown.
As for the 'Pro' part, TRIMUI probably doesn't see the need; the brick sells like hotcakes and the extra power would have been a nightmare to source right now. It's a device for playing retro games and if my cute Lil BatleXP G350 can keep up without upgrades, the brick is probably fine as well.
Should 'Pro' denote an upgrade? Probably; but things are really hinky in the electronic parts department, and a more comfortable playing experience is likely worth it to some.

Thank you! Sorry you've had to give up some communities, but it is nice that you've stayed strong and landed here in stead. I do share each retro handheld review I do on here, so you'll see them over time as a (terrible) consolation prize! I have the TRIMUI Brick Hammer Pro U, the Retroid Pocket Nova, Anbernic's RG 55G1 and...one more I forget still coming to review, too :)

I think that is the finnicky part. No one really finds this a 'Pro' upgrade, but for what it does (especially PSX on this for me), it is a beautiful and fun time :)
Thanks for reading through and enjoying it. I appreciate it!
