Les questions qu'on se pose avant d'acheter.
Not all retro consoles are equal.
Handheld retro gaming is a market full of look-alikes. Under an identical shell you often get a stripped-down version: less memory, a slower chip, a system that barely boots. Same photo, different console.
Here, the configuration is written on the product page — system, screen, card capacity. See the R36S pocket retro console, for example.
The right version, in black and white
Every product page states the installed system, the screen size and the real capacity of the card. Nothing is left vague.
2-year legal warranty
Two years of legal warranty, and 14 days to change your mind after delivery.
Support in French & English
A real person answers, within 24 working hours.
SD card ready, nothing to install
The library is already sorted by machine. Power on, pick a game, play.

Six réponses, en français, sans jargon.
Toutes nos questions fréquentes →Is it really plug & play?
Yes. The SD card is already in the console and the OS boots straight into your game library. Power on, pick a game, play. No computer, no setup.
Which retro gaming console should you choose to start?
A €35–60 model in pocket or controller format handles every 8/16-bit classic. Our guide to choosing a retro gaming console walks you through 4 simple questions.
Are retro gaming consoles legal?
Owning a console and an emulator is 100% legal. The SD card shipped with the console is prepared by our supplier. We stay transparent and make no claim we cannot back up.
What about support and returns?
Support in French and English, 14-day right of withdrawal and a 2-year legal warranty. We answer every question within 24 working hours.
Which games can I play?
NES, SNES, Game Boy, GBA, Mega Drive, Neo Geo, and up to PS1, N64 or PSP on premium models. Each product page states the emulated systems and the level of compatibility.
What is the real battery life?
It depends on the model's battery. Consoles with 3,000 to 3,200 mAh are rated for 4 to 6 hours of play; the model with the largest battery (4,000 mAh) goes up to 8 hours. These figures come from the manufacturer specifications.
