Just bought an RG35XX, which would be best for me, garlicos or batocera? (kbin.social)

I mostly want to play consoles that I know garlic will run, minus the DS. Only DS games I want to run are Pokemon, so the lack of inputs isn't an issue.

I wanna be able to just put it to sleep mid game, put it in my pocket, then pull it out and resume. I don't want to do any extra steps outside of tapping the power button. Would like it to be quick, which I've heard batocera isn'f the best at.

I want it to be stable, with low risk of the game crashing.

Battery life is whatever as long as I can get a few hours out it.

Also, any manage to get the HDMI to output 240p on this thing for a CRT?

Thanks, I've heard the "sleep" mode in Garlic OS saves state, then powers the device off, then loads the state back up, which obviously will take more time than a sleep mode, but as long as it only takes a few seconds, I can live with it. Obviously it's not a true sleep, but it works well enough for me. Can't find anything regarding this for Batocera, so I suppose I'll go with Garlic OS. Maybe one day that GPU will be enabled there and I can play DS on it lol.
