Getting my ass kicked

I recently bought a Retro Handheld Game Console, 4.0 Inch IPS Retro Gaming Console with Linux System and 64GB Memory, Supports 30+ Emulator Console as Hand Held Game Console (64GB Black)

Man, I had recently got the hang over emulators through a very user-friendly experience of Retrobat and thought that I could handle using an SD card with game roms and emulators and ordered an expensive gaming emulator and after a week of feeling like a bad mother fucker with an expensive car, enjoying my favorite games during my breaks at work and...

It just stops working.

So I try step by step instructions, retreated to reddit, watch the YouTuber that got me into the hobby and I realize that....I'm not very smart and this is way over my head.

It sucks when my kid asks for the handheld and I have to admit that I don't know how to fix it. I know the guy online seems to waltz through the process at lightning speed and it works for him but for dad I just can't do it.

There is a lot of realizations that you hear about Dad strength, in Jiu Jitsu, or wrestling, etc, but you don't get dad technical skills, dad allowance, I drive by some of the coolest house in town and wonder "How?" Where do they work?

What did I do wrong? You hear you kids look at those big houses and marvel. Imagine playing tag in that place, Dad?

No matter how great you think you are doing, you could've done better. I'm glad that we are producing more artists and branching out into wider demographics and into the mainstream platforms like ROKU with KING JAMES being on TUBI, but what it never did was....

I just wanted a cool handheld and ended up with a brick.
