Comment on What retro handhelds are the best value?

if you have 300+ hours to configure it and have your entire ROM library ordered in the exact way it likes, go for it.
otherwise, I’d skip it.
I really really wanted to like it, but I just don’t have the time or attention span for it.

Not sure what you mean. You just put the roms in the right folders and it shows alphabetically per system type.

that part works “ok”, but if you try to import any of the boxart or other metadata they have to be named in a specific way in order to be “found”.
out of a library in the tens of thousands of roms I barely have 500 with boxart or metadata.
the alternative is to go to each game and select the game. by hand. no thanks.
I get it, it’s far easier to have required set parameters to start with, but there’s a better way to achieve the same goal with fuzzy logic and simple prompts.

That doesn’t really sound like an essential part. I don’t really care about the box art and I have a looot of stuff loaded on there. It’s the first and only distro where I didn’t have to tinker with too many things just to get a good experience, it just works.
