The X3/X4 are such neat devices with a great community behind them, shame the manufacturer decided to lock down devices sold on AliExpress in an attempt to funnel potential customers into their own store instead of embracing the open source firmware like Chinese handheld gaming vendors usually do. I hope these devices being as successful as they are inspire other manufacturers to build a better device that doesn't try to force customers to choose between running the dysfunctional stock firmware, or having to purchase from the equally dysfunctional manufacturer store.
