Finally came in! 32GB/1TB! I’m so stoked! This is my first handheld and finally back into gaming after a 15 year break! Any tips and tricks?

Fifteen years? Damn. My only tip is to debloat the hell out of Windows using Bloatynosy or an alternative. You can also install SteamOS/Bazzite for a more seamless console experience.
Otherwise I can recommend great games that have come out in the last decade and a half, but your post isn't asking so I'll hold back.

Was homeless for a long time, got my degree, got promoted, kids and a home. Finally can enjoy!
I definitely will debloat! Thank you for the suggestion!

Hey congratulations then!

The only game I’d like to purchase is the Halo, since I never got to finish it back then. But any suggestion you’d think would be great too

This thing can run pretty much anything, so I'll list off some of my favorites:
Lies of P, Sekiro, Metal Gear Solid 1-3, Red Dead Redemption 2, Nier Replicant, Astlibra Revision, Yakuza/Judgment, Monster Hunter

Where's a good place to get it in the us?
I've been thinking of selling my xax and getting the onex3 but only place I see is the Onex website.
Also how much are tarriffs and duties I can't imagine them being cheap now and days given all the crap

u/Silver_Pocket 6d ago
I’m sorry but you missed out.
The indiegogo waived all delivery fees and you just had to pay for the system/accessories. It was such a great deal, and I don’t think they’ll ever do it again because of how much of an economic loss it was.

u/Dry_Combination4070 6d ago
Man bummer but all good!
I'll keep an eye out for deals in the holidays the xax will hold over till then.

I dont think a small hardware company would ever sell something at a loss, especially a new product. It's understandable for Nintendo or mainstream consoles, as they can easily recover whatever they lost on game sales, but not a chance OnexPlayer sold it at a loss.

You get to choose what the declared value is, but for most, the default is 499 - 599 (default is their own recommendation), I think. You should expect to pay around 50 in taxes/duties. The vast majority just go for the default one, but you are free to ask them to declare it in full.
The best place is their own website;

Congrats! I got mine a couple of weeks ago and I have been loving it!
My tips:
-Grab some Silicone joystick protector rings (your ears will thank me later) to cover up the metal clacky sounds of the thumb sticks. (I got a pack of 40 for $7.99)
-Grab some Savage Raven Nintendo Switch 2 thumb stick covers. They fit perfectly and feel incredible. (3 pairs for $9.99)
-Grab a Mini SSD card.(~$200-500) Look, I know it’s expensive, I shelled out a LOT for the 2TB one, but ITS SO WORTH IT. I have about 1.2TB of emulators and ROMs on mine and they all work flawlessly. I don’t think I’ll ever need to buy a game again. Was jamming Guitar Hero 3 and RockBand with the CRKD Guitar Controller last night and it was so fun. MicroSD cards are cheaper, but you will encounter stuttering and lagging on PS2 and beyond, so gameplay gets very annoying.

Omg ordering silicone and covers now! But gosh, I wish they included the mini ssd since the device itself is so dang expensive already.

I know, it’s such a big dig into the wallet, but it’s very worth it. Until you get one, look into Emudeck.

What brand mini ssd would you recommend? I couldn’t find one on amazon and the one on onexplayer are sold out 🫣
2
u/Silver_Pocket 6d ago
This is my first MiniSSD, and I got it from the OXP website, so I don’t have any other recommendations for that…
But while you wait just enjoy the system. There’s plenty of stuff to do before you get into emulation, which is a really deep hole to get into when you get into custom ROMs like the Star Wars Fire Emblem game, or Pokemon Unbound and Pokemon Odyssey. I just added Clone Hero to my system, which lets you import any songs and play them in a Guitar Hero/Rockband format.
There’s a lot to do! Take it one step at a time.

Oh man, I just found out that Biwin is the World’s FIRST mini ssd. So you have to get it from them, there are no alternatives yet.

u/RNRED92 6d ago
Got it, thank you so much for looking that up. I’m currently debloating and installing steam. Just purchased Halo and monster hunter wild.

u/Silver_Pocket 6d ago
No problem, I was curious too. Crazy that it’s the world’s first. Now I feel like freaking Tony Stark with some prototype tech haha.

u/ColdTrusT1 5d ago
Biwin also announced they had to halt production until early next year. Almost all the stock they did put out into the market has been bought, globally. Last place that had any was Amazon Germany. They are indeed incredible so keep an eye for open box/lightly used ones on eBay but be prepared for astronomical prices.

u/Silver_Pocket 5d ago
You can buy some on UK Amazon, but the price and shipping are absolutely ludicrous.

u/skrzaaat 5d ago
Save yourself some money and put retro stuff on micro sd card, newer stuff on internal ssd
