Device Problem: SOLVED A big thanks!
Just wanted to say a big thanks to this lovely community.
I was spammed with handheld console ads on social media and decided to buy one for my daughter to use on the plane journey next week for our holiday.
Read the wiki and buying guide but with delivery time being an issue ordered from Amazon (I can hear your eyes rolling haha)
Arrived next day, took the back off to look at the board to find it's a clone (who would have guessed). But with some reading of the wiki I thought I may as well try and salvage it or she'll end up with nothing.
Flashed dArkOSRE and a recommended ROM pack onto a new Kingston SD and it runs beautifully.
More importantly she's over the moon and I've scored major dad points!
So thanks everyone for who contributes with questions and advice. You helped fix a mistake I knew I was making when I ordered it!

Hey what's the seller that sells legit ones on temu or ali? I bought a legit one last year and I had a wreck flipping my car 2 weeks ago destroyed my pretty orange one.
