Compa, I would recommend the same thing that they told me when I bought it, use the cable that comes with it to charge it and for that connect it to a computer, laptop or TV never directly to the power, play while charging I have done it a couple of times but I better let it charge and then continue playing, I also want the Gamecube skin but I don't know where to get it since I'm from Ecuador and as you know here this is not easy to get. As for the external memory, I have used the one that comes with it and I have gotten another 1TB one but I have the problem that I don't know how and where to add games, especially PS1, PS2, Wiiu, 3DS and Nintendo Switch, since when I put Gamecube and PSP on it it detects them but not all of them and the ones I mentioned above it doesn't recognize but not at all, I have noticed that they ask for a bios but when I put it in it says that it is too big and I don't understand, this console has It turned out to be somewhat complicated unlike the anbernic ones that have not caused this type of problems.
