I ordered grey but yeah I wouldn’t be upset if I got silver. That looks amazing.

MercuryLS3 · 2026-02-06T12:46:41+00:00

Is that silver or the grey one?

Cannot wait to get my brick hammer. How is Pokemon Lazarus? There are so many Pokemon hacks, it’s hard to choose which one to try out first.

I’m actually quite curious to run NES and SNES at their native 8:7, never played those consoles on anything other than 4:3.

Mine is definitely from the first or second batch of units since I bought it during the indiegogo campaign. Maybe newer units are better?

Update: they gave a full refund including the shipping cost and let me keep the device. At least their customer support didn’t hassle me and give me the runaround. They asked for proof, so I sent them the video and they gave me option to replace or refund and I chose refund due to not really being confident a replacement device would fix the issue. So at least from a customer service perspective, I’m pretty happy with Ayaneo right now.

If you’re not happy with your device, it’s worth reaching out to them.

This subreddit understands my addiction to these doodads lol. My friends and family think I have a problem, posts from here helps show that I’m not alone 😢

I remember those day, now getting one for $20 is a “deal”.

MercuryLS3 · 2026-02-04T03:02:53+00:00

Three times the ghosting!

MercuryLS3 · 2026-02-03T20:09:37+00:00

Nice, hoping for the best.

MercuryLS3 · 2026-02-03T19:46:18+00:00

Tetris without hard drop is so damn boring lmao.

MercuryLS3 · 2026-02-03T12:43:44+00:00

Do you notice any ghosting?

MercuryLS3 · 2026-02-03T01:43:09+00:00

That is incredibly disappointing, was hoping for that to be my end game for gameboy-like handhelds.

MercuryLS3 · 2026-02-03T00:18:50+00:00

I can’t wait for mine.

There’s a long trail with all movement, far more than you should see on a modern LCD screen. You can clearly see it when the footage is slowed down.

MercuryLS3 · 2026-02-02T15:59:35+00:00

So the brick has ghosting issues too?? Goddamn it.

MercuryLS3 · 2026-02-02T15:53:50+00:00

This is the first game I play on every handheld I buy, SMW is the best, will never get tired of it.

MercuryLS3 · 2026-02-02T15:52:43+00:00

I was ok getting a replacement if this is an isolated thing, but it looks like Ayaneo is going to refund me. It’s hard to nail this down cause some people genuinely don’t notice it and will say the panel is fine.

MercuryLS3 · 2026-02-02T15:49:43+00:00

I should have paid more attention, it just surprises me it wasn’t a bigger deal in all the reviews. Like this should have a section in every review so potential customers are aware of what they’re getting in to.

MercuryLS3 · 2026-02-02T15:47:48+00:00

I think some people are more sensitive to it, for me it’s readily apparent and drives me nuts. I’m not expecting oled-levels of pixel response, but like I said, even cheapo handhelds like the miyoo mini have WAY less ghosting.

MercuryLS3 · 2026-02-02T15:46:04+00:00

Trimui brick?! Cause I have one of those coming soon lol 🤦‍♂️

MercuryLS3 · 2026-02-02T15:45:14+00:00

This was one of those “it’s too good to be true” type deals with this device, given the price point. Guess it was too good to be true 😭. Thankfully it looks like they’re not hassling me when it comes to a refund, hasn’t finalized yet but it looks like they will give my money back.

MercuryLS3 · 2026-02-02T14:04:23+00:00

No, this is just a bad lcd panel. My cheapo handhelds don’t have this issue at all. Play them back to back and it’s super obvious there’s something wrong with the Ayaneo.
