INSIGHT

OnionOS Adds Lid Support And GBA Netplay

  • OnionOS snapshots added lid support and improved GBA netplay and memory management to squeeze more from small Linux handhelds.
  • Speakers highlighted a 128MB build and custom OnionOS features that enhance usability on tiny devices.
ADVICE

Use MechDIY Codes Or Buy Unloaded SD Cards

  • Use seller discount codes when buying from MechDIY to lower out‑of‑box prices; code RH15 gives 15% off and MMF may apply on some listings.
  • Stubbs notes preloaded SD options (75–120) and that third‑party cards include customer support and returns.
ADVICE

Turn Off Wi‑Fi To Prevent Speaker Distortion

  • If you enable Wi‑Fi on some small handhelds, expect speaker distortion because the radio isn't shielded; toggle Wi‑Fi off to avoid noise.
  • Michael says every R36S unit with a Wi‑Fi dongle produced crackling like old cell‑phone interference.
