Rumor has it that it's an RK3566 powered device, so systems before PSP, DC, and N64 will work fine, but those three will be a mixed bag.

Retro achievements are just a nice way to focus on specific games. Since not every game has them, it's a nice way to whittle down the choice paralysis. It's nice to just keep track of the progress of your games as a whole too.

However, I do wish the overall RA community was less obsessed with the fake internet points that come with them though. That's why there's no plan for an offline version, they're scared people will manipulate their scores. It's dumb.

I love the idea of using RA for new game discovery or choosing which one to play! I need to try it out, even without actually using the achievements themselves. Thanks for sharing!

Don't they have a "hardcode" mode already for that?

They do have a hardcore mode, but the discourse is still the same in forums whenever people ask about the potential of an offline mode.
