Rumor has it that it's an RK3566 powered device, so systems before PSP, DC, and N64 will work fine, but those three will be a mixed bag.

I would be interested, depending on the price. Closed shell design means it can be tossed into a bag without worrying about scratching the screen.

I'd be worried about the unit being scratched ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A scratched unit still works. A broken screen renders it pretty much useless.

I'm even more worried about the exposed L/R buttons. I have an otherwise perfectly functional Nintendo DS with these buttons being unreliable at best (received second hand already like that). Not that I have any better idea how to solve this, but I'd definitely not just chuck it into a backpack. Maybe a pocket.

I’ve got a Retroid Flip and the shoulder buttons are my largest concern.

I'd prefer no scratches at all, even if that means sacrificing probability, I mean, we could always use screen protectors for that matter, in fact I did, but it never stopped me from overprotecting my clamshell handhelds.
