The problem is there aren't too many devices 4:3 devices between 4 to 5 inches. Shouldn't manufacturers already understand that those who are into retro gaming now are in their late 30s or early 40s now? Haha

Exactly. The RG405M was the first in fact and caught my attention for this sole reason: The 4" 4:3 screen. And I really like it. Still rather use my hacked OLED Switch for retro gaming at home due to the even bigger screen.

On the other hand, the popularity of the RG28XX shows that retrogaming is quite a thing for the younger folks out there. Not complaining on that.

Would be nice if it was able to emulate cable link/wireless adapter for GBA & Game Boy Color games wirelessly or connected to each other with cable.

Oh boy do I have some news for you!
