    Was there not an option to enlarge the screen to fit the height and leave black bars on the sides to preserve the aspect ratio? I know you would probably need scaling that wasn't a full 2:1 so there would be some distortion but especially for like NES it would be nice to get a bigger picture without the gross stretching.

    Once again, my usual PSA for you all:
    If your SNES games are running too slow, use European (PAL format) roms. Most of these devices (MP5 Player, X6, X16, X19, RS-11 and many more variants) run in 50Hz since they're from China. A few rebrands that come from different areas run in 60Hz, like the RS-08. Point is, if SNES is slow, just use the other region's rom and it'll run fine. Super Metroid is the best example; the game runs at natural speed during play, and the intro scenes, menu and pause navigation, item collection theme, and door transitions are all sped up double.
    I have this same RS-11 too and really enjoy it. I've collected quite a few variants over the last few years and gave one to my little brother too (a black MP5 Player with an older more rugged interface than this one).
    They're all essentially the same at heart, with different shells and different main menu front screens, but they've improved massively over the last few years. They come in different sizes, 8 GB, 14 GB (odd choice) and 16 GB (my RS-11, like in this video, is said to be 8 GB but my computer reveals total space to actually be about 6.6 GB, beware that you'll have less space than you think and it seems like a rather big loss even for the amount needed for the file system). You can find some listed as 64 GB as well, but I've never seen any actual models go above 16 GB internally. My 64 GB (this particular model was the RS-08) device was actually 16 GB with an included 32 GB micro SD card and card reading USB drive, but that's not so bad, and the price was only $53 compared to the $48 of the 8 GB model.
    Seriously. These guys aren't that good at pricing stuff, but heck, it's our gain.
    Here's the functions of the device in full to my knowledge, as well as how it's improved in my experience since around 2017.
    VIDEO - videos used to only play properly at 480p and below; higher resolutions would skip and lag and sometimes crash the system. Colorful motion artifacting was also present for videos that were not strictly set at 720x480 (not sure about 576), which was the resolution of the PSP. Oddly enough, I discovered that on my first one, the black X6, which looks very much like a PSP. I think even then, it was playing videos better than the PSP was. It could only read FLV files correctly, however; I had to reformat all the videos I wanted to watch into FLV. MP4 would be mute all the time despite a working MP4 file included with the device, and no other formats would load.
    Nowadays there's no artifacting, MP4 and AVI and other formats work, and the device plays flawlessly up to 720p HD. It will NOT play 1080p. The rewind and fast forward options are improved too; they all work at specific intervals of their own now, no longer dependent on how long the video is. Even at the smallest setting, for a long movie file I'd find myself rewinding a minute per frame just to go back and hear something I missed a second ago when using the older devices. This is no longer a problem.
    MUSIC - Well, nothing special, but you've got your standard options. Shuffle, repeat one / all are there, and there's an equalizer with custom settings available. It works, but it's not perfect; I think some of the preset selections are more powerful than the custom range. It recognizes MP3 and M4A and WMA as far as I can tell; I'm sure WAV works too, though nobody's gonna want to use that, and I haven't actually tested it myself.
    GAME - NES, GB, GBC all run flawlessly. Mega Drive doesn't work fantastically (Sonic the Hedgehog is playable but a bit skippy, and its audio channels are all playing at different volumes), and sometimes audio suffers a lot (Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine audio keeps skipping and slowing down). SNES as I've said is fine depending on which region you use; you can get most running all right. The lighter games will run fine even in NTSC because their lower power usage makes them go faster. Not always a good thing; some games, like Donkey Kong Country 3, run all right but then suddenly I found that one of the later game levels ran 1/3 faster than the rest of them. PS1 games are mediocre at best; Gauntlet Legends is a little better than the Spyro game shown, but still nothing close to perfect, and I can't map all the buttons either, so some things literally can't be done in-game.
    Game Gear and Master System, if I remember correctly, do not work, but it wouldn't hurt to try anyways, as perhaps some versions of these devices can run them while others can't. My RS-08 failed to load Gauntlet Legends, but my others can play it. However, the RS-08 DOES play the Mega Drive version of Raiden Trad at the right speed, while the other devices speed it up 50%. These devices are all just trial and error individually with each game you want to play, I'm afraid.
    I prefer scaling the games to semi-fullscreen even though they don't look pixel perfect that way, but at least they're at the right aspect ratio. The older models only had original size and full screen options; the proper scale option seen in the menu of this device is a newer inclusion.
    EBOOK - Well, it works, but it's really only a text reader (not editor, but nobody would want to on these things anyway, you can't hook up a keyboard). They work well except for one error: no word wrap. Text just jumps right to the next line, even in the middle of some words. To solve this, you can space your lines manually when typing and use the Small, Medium or Large setting. For example, take this line from Chrono Trigger:
    "Hi there! Are you a stranger here, too? I'm Toma, the explorer."
    When setting my RS-11's Ebook reader to Small text size, this line fits right to the very end, so when I'm writing anything to put on the text editor, I just open Wordpad, size the window to fit just to the end of that line, and then press Enter at the end of every line. Some of the devices can only fit about 96% the space per text line of others, so make sure you know your device's limitations before putting any text files suited to particular sizes on them.
    Yeah, I know, it's lame and nobody's gonna want to muster the effort. But it's all right with me; reading actual word documents on these devices without experiencing any errors is kind of a novelty.
    TV OUT - HDMI does work on mine too, but it's not great. It just looks like a cleaner 480p signal than the composite output provides, and frankly I like using that one better. Although in TV mode some game buttons will clash against each other, don't know why...beware. HDMI also is a bit finicky, and I don't like trying to hold completely rigid while playing just to avoid moving the cable a millimeter and disconnecting. Some cables will work better than others.
    The HDMI is great for videos though, since you can set the device down.
    The RS-11 does NOT have this option (it seems all the devices with this particular front menu interface do not in my experience), but on others, you can adjust the screen offset, meaning you can resize the top / bottom and sides of the display in TV mode to perfectly fit to your screen. This removes the problems of overscan and bordering.
    SCREEN - Brightness is not really that great in most cases, and viewing angles usually suffer (I don't know why that's a big deal if you're gonna be looking at the device head-on anyway), but the RS-11 is an exception. Its viewing angles aren't perfect, but they are MUCH better than the previous models of this system, leading me to believe it might be using an IPS screen, if perhaps a somewhat cheap one. And unlike the other systems, which at their brightest look good inside but are still no match for the outdoors, the RS-11's brightness is on par with most portable devices today, reaching at least 3/4 the brightness if not more.
    SD CARD - As far as I can tell, these devices accept at least 64 GB cards. Any higher, I don't know.
