There&#8217;s also no headphone jack &#8211; a curious omission for a handheld &#8211; so you&#8217;re limited to the onboard speaker, which gets reasonably loud. At the highest volume level, there is a persistent hiss, which is really only noticeable when there&#8217;s no sound.<\/p>\n<p>The onboard controls work well, with a nice, oversized d-pad, and good action buttons. There is the expected Select, Start, and A and B buttons, as well as turbo buttons for A and B. The R button returns you to the main menu.<\/p>\n<p>Although not every game runs perfectly, they&#8217;re close enough. I had a blast playing games like Super Mario Bros. and Raid on Bungeling Bay, despite the somewhat cramped distance between the d-pad and action buttons my adult hands had to endure (the span of the handheld&#8217;s controls is only about 2.5 inches).
