Would anyone know how to deal with that problem for #R36Plus #retrohandhelds?

R36S OTG port not working: patching the boot partition may be needed
Got an USB to OTG adapter, and though it would work on another device with a working OTG data port, even the USB showing its led blinking, no response would be given on the R36S. Formatting from NTFS (which should already work) to FAT32 didn't work, changing the order of plugging the stick and booting didn't either, testing another stick now in exFAT, which should also work by the R36S' terminal message, and also with a led didn't either.
Digging around, I found this file which then worked: https://github.com/user-attachments/files/23063504/patched-boot-partition.zip
Source, this thread: https://github.com/AeolusUX/ArkOS-R3XS/issues/208#issuecomment-3447733941
I had to extract the downloaded zip's files, remove the SD card from the R36S, back up the files from the SD card's boot partition¹, and copy the extracted files into the SD card's boot partition, merging any folders and replacing any files as asked by the file manager. After connecting the SD card to the R36S, booting it up and connecting the adapter with the USB stick, the stick's led blinked, meaning it was now communicating.
¹Safety measure if restoring anything is needed, specially as the issue affects two different board series apparently, the v21 and v22, and there may be quirks not covered or considered by the patch like distros with specific modifications.

Devices that can play GBC and/or GBA cartridges?
#GBC & #GBA are aging devices, so I'd been looking for #retrohandhelds that could do read their cartridges, but at most found a loose thread on those cartridge readers used for dumping being possibly used as adapters for playing cartridges on FPGA devices, but yet to find more info on that.
So my question is, are there any devices that can do it, or indeed some dumping device as an adapter?
Thanks in advance!

"The C64", das beigene C64-Handheld, was jetzt kommen soll, finde ich ja wider realistischer Abwägungen, süßer als gedacht.
Vor allem, weil es auf dem Photos zumeist "Sams Journey" geladen hat; ein wirklich ausgezeichnetes Jump'n Run der Post-2000er. Was auch zeigt, dass sich die Macher:innen mit der aktuellen Retrogaming-Szene auskennen und gewillt sind, die wirklich guten Leute da zu unterstützen.
Wichtig!
Aber!
Ansonsten ist da nichts, was man auch mit einem halb so teuren Noname-Retro-Emuboy aus China oder sonstwoher haben kann. Dort dann auch mit Support nicht nur für C64, sondern auch Megadrive, NES, PC-Engine, SNES, GBA... you name it. All in One. Keine künstliche Beschränkung. Ist dann in Terms of Roms, die gern gleich in 1000er Stückzahlen mitgeliefert werden, mehr oder weniger illegal. Und sieht eben nicht so dolle nach C64 aus.
Die "25 Roms" (in dem Fall über die Hälfte eher Images) die beim "The C64" mitgeliefert werden, sind nicht immer ideal. Zum Beispiel ist Speedball 1 wesentlich besser auf dem C64 gelungen (coole Portraits, coole David Whittaker Musik, grafisch kristallklare Arenen, kein hässliches Gedithere) als Speedball 2. Letzteres gehört einfach auf ein 16bit Gerät.
Was liefern sie mit: Speedball 2?!
Prinzipiell geht die Spieleauswahl dennoch größtenteils in Ordnung. Gleich zwei sehr gute Rainbow Arts Spiele (X-Out, Spherical), Nebulus und ein paar neue Sachen (neben dem erwähnten Sams Journey auch das excellente "A Pig Quest", was ja übrigens Piggy18 ist!)... fein.Aber ich darf mich nicht zum Konsum bewegen lassen!! Ich hab das alles schon (sämtliche Spiele, die ich nannte, außer Speedball 2 im Original) und kann das alles locker mit Klemm-Gamepad auf dem Handy spielen (eine Option).

Really enjoying LUNAR - Silver Star Harmony.
I never played many RPG styled games growing up as they always seemed overwhelming to me with how you have to monitor and maintain your characters.
But LUNAR's been fun and has a simple enough battle system even for me to understand.
Are there any other similar RPGs that anyone would like to recommend. Keep in mind I am only 2hrs into LUNAR. haha...

So what's the meaningful difference in the different models of the Ayn Thor? Reviewers have the wonderful tendency to talk about the CPU model differences, but not what those differences entail for the end user.
Can the Base model play Switch emulation? Is the Max model overkill? Is the Lite model not useful for anything practical?

So the latest trend in retro emulator handhelds are DS-style handhelds and that's really cool! What isn't cool is that none of them seem to come with a slide-out stylus! Imagine playing a DS without a stylus!!!! Heresy!!!!!!!!!!!!
