    Isn't funny that Xbox Classic and Sega Saturn are harder to emulate than Dreamcast and PS2?
    There are some technical reasons for it but is funny because it messes the line, so we can't say something like "it emulates up to the 6th Gen".

      The Xbox is a fair bit more powerful than the PS2, but then again it basically just uses PC parts with a Pentium III and effectively a tweaked Nvidia GeForce 3, so you'd think it would be much easier to emulate. I think a lot of it is just due to more interest in the PS2 resulting in far more development resources for PCSX2.

    I’ve bought GPD XD because of you, 15 months ago, and I really love that thing! Seriously, I love to play games on that way. There’s just one problem: I’ve got the red model, with 64 GB, but it came with only 32 GB. It was simply solved with a micro SD card. I have the Bittboy and I’ve just gotten a broken PSP (I intend to fix it soon), but the GPD XD is irreplaceable!

    I would advocate the XD+ purely because of the bluetooth. It makes it easier to set up multiple controllers for gaming. The issue with the shoulder buttons wasting battery is something I didn't even know about. I'd just turn off the system. It doesn't take long, most of the emulators will save state when you exit out... in fact I don't know of one that won't save state when you exit out. It doesn't take long to boot up anyway. If you are in a scenario where you have time to play a game, it really won't matter. One note I will say about the system, I'm not sure if the regular XD has this issue though. Is that some TVs won't recognize plugging it into the HDMI port, you can fix this with a splitter. I've had one of those splitters that has a toggle not work. I found another one that does work that is one of those where it's just a small box that has 1 in port and 2 out ports. Other than that if that is what you want it to do, as in play on a TV and multiple controllers. The XD+ is my choice for an option. As well as it plays PSP and Dreamcast more effectively. There are videos comparing this on youtube.

    I love my 2DS XL. Can't do PSP games, but between the 3DS and regular DS libraries you've got a bunch of N64 games, Resident Evil, MGS Snake Eater, some Final Fantasy games, a hand full of Castlevania games. I emulate Sega Genesis games all the time, the SNES and Gameboy emulators on that thing are great. I think somebody made a homebrew port of the first Portal game for this thing.
    The reason I'm interested in a comparison between the GPD and New 3DSXL is because I wanna emulate my games on a device that has really easy multiplayer support, and the 3DSXL has the same form factor as the GPD devices.

    I have used the regular XD for a long time and happily switched to XD+ here's why.
    Performance boost of about 20% not only raw power but also using newer tech like 64bit CPU, Vulcan and Android 7.0 possibly 9.0 in the future.
    5GHZ wifi which works wonders for streaming games, Bluetooth for use with gamepads and headphones.
    Lastly and most importantly for me more space for Android games since you can use the SD card as an internal storage, on a regular XD you can get only 32GB of space 64GB if you're lucky to get the red model, but on my XD+ I have 288GB of internal space 32+256 with a good fast micro SD card.
    One thing to note is whichever version you have install a custom firmware, on the XD+ it's CleanRom by Black-Seraph, the official firmware on both versions is a bloated glitched mess.

    Izzy or anyone :), do you know the "PowKiddy X18"? What would the XD does, that the X18 does not? I really like the lower price with a bigger screen, but what games/system would I miss with the X18 instead of the GPD XD?

    I just had to throw out my GPDXD. I'd left it alone for a few months and I just noticed that the battery was bulging, splitting the lower portion of the case apart. I used to half-addicted to Mr Driller on it. I'd get another one or the Plus if there was good Saturn emulation for Baku baku animal.

    I was wondering, I have a Sony xperia Play with something like 32gb internal memory. I remember that installing games on there was a chore if you wanted to install a whole bunch of them, with some data required to stay on internal memory, even when transfering the game to the memory card.
    I also remember buying another cellphone not long after with a more recent Android version after gingerbread, omitting the option to transfer game data to the external memory, allowing only video/photo/audio files etc. Is this tied to phones only or how does it work with the GPD XD? This would really be a dealbreaker for me, since I’d like to have 1 system with pretty much my entire childhood gaming library on there (I have a jailbroken psp with a memory card of 400gb in there, basically allowing me to play anything the GPD can, other than android games, which would mean added value for sure)
    TLDR: is it possible to store all games on the external memory?

    Its worth noting that from my experience, using the GPD XD+ over HDMI-Out while using Bluetooth controllers introduces a degree of lag which I instantly felt was gone when I plugged in my USB controllers - I tested with the 8bitDo, a NES, a SNES, and an N64 USB controller using a micro-USB to USB type A converter. Having controllers plugged in removed any lag but meant I couldn't charge the GPD XD+ at the same time - supposedly the port in the back cannot be used for inputs as well as charging.
    Take this all with a pinch of salt of course, its my experience only, and I haven't seen if others have had issues.

    • @LynxxLancer

      It's no surprise. Even high end android phones has this problem. The OS has literally fucked bluetooth controllers.

    • @SectionEight
      @SectionEight 5 лет назад

      as far as charging, use a "Y" otg cable. You will not be able to charge the xd+ but I have found that you can KEEP the charge at the same level. So if you connect the "Y" cable at 72%, it will stay at 72% while it is connected to "Y" cable.
      PS: could you test it further and see if you get that lag with OTG and NO HDMI out?

    Looks really cool. Still using my Nvidia shield go, which can emulate pretty much anything through Dreamcast flawlessly. Haven't tried Gamecube on it yet. This thing is a beast. Had it since launch. Only issue is it is a bit heavy. Imagine a screen attached to an xbox controller only heavier(due to all the hardware inside). Worth checking out and I absolutely love it.

    • @DeeKnow
      @DeeKnow 4 года назад

      The GPD XD Plus runs dreamcast better than the Shield Portable. Almost runs gamecube at full speed. Almost runs Ps2 at full speed. Depends on what game your trying to play on the gamecube and ps2 but it's definitely more powerful than the shield portable I just watched a comparison showing that it gets about 15-20 fps lower results on dreamcast games like skies of arcadia and shenmue than the GPD XD PLUS. Nvidia Shield Portable doesn't have OPL 3 and 4 support which means it will not be able to ever.

    • @DeeKnow

      Once vulkan api works on android emu Gamecube and Ps2 and Wii should play perfectly fine on the GPD XD Plus. The shield won't be able to run vulkan and has only Partial OPL 2.0 support while most emulators past ps1 use OPL3 as backup and OPL4 as main.

      Which platforms are you most hoping to emulate ? I semi-recently got one as well and I'm enjoying it. It can play psp games and ps1 games without modding. Then you have retroarch on there, gameboy advance games, snes games. Though N64 emulation is still glitchy as hell. Plus it has the advantage of being a vita so you can also play the vitas big library of rpgs.

    • @LupinosLionheart

      @@jacob7922 I tried out retro arch with SNES emulation and it was horrible in the sound department, also GBA emulation was horrible. PS1 and PSP I haven't tried yet but read that it runs smoothly with Adrenaline.
      But all this I can actually have with my GPD XD minus PS Vita games.

    • @jacob7922
      @jacob7922 5 лет назад

      It doesn't have everything the vita has unfortunately. They each have their own advantages and disadvantages. He doesn't really go into which emulators work as well on the GPD but I have been told that PSP games have significant problems on the GPD XD plus and not all PS1 era games work either. It can emulate Gameboy and SNES games better though. You need to overclock the vita to get gameboy games to run at full speed, I never had any problems with SNES sound on mine but I didn't use retroarch for that I used a standalone emulator.

    ALSO.. Lastly.. The Refresh rates of the XD vs the XD Plus. The XD Plus has a slightly lower quality screen with a lower tick rate , but its brighter, also the PLUS has more powerful hardware and double the amount of usable ram.. So you will have to adjust your emulators if you are looking for perfect accuracy compared to the old refresh rate of the old screen. But that's literally the only downside to the PLUS. It has a different refresh rate than the XD.

    I do love the GPD XD too, it was my main machine for years, but I gave up on ti for one single reason: the input lag on android machines is very bad because of the way input stack is working (30~90ms more than windows devices for instance). And there are no way of improving it other than rewritting a custom driver and input system, like Nvidia did.
    This input lag don't matter so much on modern games or on slow paced games, but on platform games it changes everything.
