NextUI and Portmaster on Brick?
I’ve haven’t had any luck with Portmaster on my Trimui with NextUI. I tried back in May and just gave up.
has anyone been able to run any games?

The Brick Hammer definitely has a nicer screen(images don’t reflect it) and nicer buttons but I found myself struggling when on the go and being more careful on how I stored/placed in my bags. it definitely looks nicer and the buttons are much better. This will become my one handed gaming device or RPG centric for now. looks nicer on my desk too with my display stand.
The RG SP is so nice to just shut and put away anywhere. no worry about having to put a certain way in my bag etc. It’s hard to say if it can take over the Brick as primary retro handheld but definitely enjoying platformers it.

definitely looks monsterous next to Brick. I have a thing for Sliver devices and gold accents. I’m gonna have to redo the decal on the RG SP, got a dust bubble somehow and it’s a bit crooked.
if you don’t mind waiting until end of September to ship, AliExpress is having a sale. combined with payoal and Rakuten cash back you can easily get it for $50. I got mine for $100. And since i just got the RG SP im in no rush.
i used it for the PKA but you can use it for any handheld listed in AliExpress like the RG SP or AYN Thor.

Rakuten is currently doing 26% cash back and $50 sign up bonus for new customers. Feel feel to use my referral ink below:
it’s simple. they got Marketplace metrics. just like Amazon puts on sellers, AliExpress does the same.
That means they have more pressure to ship their orders faster instead of the usual 2-3 months that it takes if you purchase in their website.
It‘s AYN not a 3rd Party.
PS - Extend you delivery timeframe to the max 90 days just to be safe. AliExpress cancels orders after 30 days if seller hasn’t shipped.
sometimes you can get the Thor cheaper through AliExpress as well.
use AYN95 ($95 off $469+) and pay with PayPal for $35 off.
For MAX 512GB AYN website is $505 with shipping and their AliExpress Store is $442 with shipping.
on top of that if you purchase through Rakuten they are currently offering 26% cash back with AliExpress so thats $115 cash back. Now you’re paying $327 if you take that into account.
if you haven’t signed for Rakuten you get $50 cash back on your first purchase with a referral bonus sign up. So your Max 512GB is now $277!!!!
AYN Official Store(not 3rd Party): https://a.aliexpress.com/_mLMRlu7
I ordered mine with Batch 6 and got it 35 days later. They have more pressure to fulfill deliveries because of their marketplace metrics.
The AYN95 code can be used by anyone. PayPal $35 you have to pay with it.
feel free to use my referral bonus for the $50 first purchase cash back with Rakuten:

my RG SP is getting here in a few days. Now I’m fighting the urge to order the Pocket Advance. I love GBA games and as kid couldnt afford the Advance or SP. always borrowing friends devices to play.
already have Flip2, Brick Hammer and AYN Thor Max. dangerous hobby.
I had to loosely get the screw in on the side of the power button. now whenever I press on the shell it triggers the power button. I had to make the screw loose because otherwise the power button seemed to be holding down. I tried two back shells and same issue.
playing my digital collection while abroad and away from WiFi for months. I don’t want to run the need to connect to WiFi to play my games. how long can I go before having to connect to Nintendo servers for my digital games? I’ll be gone for 2-3 month.
it seems like digital cards have replaced primary and secondary switch set ups.
Paint is chipped on the seams/corners/joins all over the vanity. I will paint it after I get a paint match.
But what is the best way to repair/remove the old paint to get ready to paint it?
Like many I have the problem of a pre existing glass splash guard and water splashing out(no matter how we adjust shower spray).
Curtain looks so ugly for such a beautiful shower. So I’m trying to figure out how to put a shower door. I see Home Depot selling Pivot doors but hats has a frame on both sides. Can I technically not install the side rail(it’s just like a stopper and put a rubber seal that meets the existing glass splash guard?
I’ve got a pink Switch lite that I got for free. I don’t like the pink and don’t want to go through a shell swap. I feel like I would mess it up. Has anyone put on a dbrand skin and been able to cover most of the color?
Any pictures you can share?
The nice caes I have found don’t have that space for the buttons. I found this super nice leather wallet that fits the X3 perfectly and I can put 2 cards in. But it does press on the buttons when I put pressure in the wallet(front pocket).
Am I setting myself up for problems?
Like many. My camera recently became useless after a brief water immersion. I had no idea that their cameras loose waterproof protection after a year or even less time per Insta360. This needs to be widely communicated and shared.
I’m done with doom scrolling and want to get back to reading. Funny enough Xteink popped on my YT feed. I like it and I think I found the solution.
I just can’t figure out if to go with X3 or X4. I like the X3 for being able to put on back or my IPhone 17 Pro. But X4 has usbc-c and it’s a tad bigger(but won’t fit my phone).
Should I be looking at another E-reader as my first one? Nothing is below $110. And I got 30 epubs waiting for me to read on my local drive.
In July 2026 Insta 360 still having issues with being submerged in water. I barely put under a foot of water and had issues.
Like many here I made sure there was no orange indicators but it was worthless. These cameras are not waterproof and they are lying in marketing.
Stay away from any Insta 360. They lost a customer.
Data point for those that ordered through AliExpress. I was thinking mine would not shipped until mid July but it took 33 days. 😁 now gotta wait for it patiently.
**This is not Marketing** this is to help those missing cash back
Per Rakuten pre-orders won’t pay cash back until the item ships. However, at times some people see the pending cash back reflect and others dont(my case).
I waited until mid June(I ordered 06/01/2026 with the summer sale) to file a cash back missing. They had me send all the info and screenshots(make sure you take a screenshot showing the Rakuten cash back is activated if using browser)and told me I had to wait.
Today I submitted again. They emailed me asking to send the info and i got the cashback reflecting now. YMMV but it’s worth a try for those Summer Sale purchases.
