The rg280v is such a great device and has a better build than the miyoo. It's too bad the software, let alone Adam, doesn't compare to onion OS and garlic OS that are both significantly much more polished. The rg280v deserves a succesor with garlic OS.
@TechDweeb the sad reality is ambernic would do so much better if they stayed focus on a family of a few flagship devices rather than churn out handheld after new handheld. This market is getting to the point where new handhelds are being produced at a rapid pace saturating the market similar to how tiger electronics would shat out turd after turd of wasted plastic out of a machine gun firing ass. (Ref from the avgn lol) ruclips.net/video/_u5dtBtG9yU/видео.html ☝️ (9:15) OK bad comparison but pun intended, pretty funny.
This is one of the best-looking handhelds I've seen. I owned an older Anbernic, the one that looks like a PSP and was quite happy with it, but begrudgingly sent it back because the AV out thing didn't work. I could have got a replacement, but the Amazon comments suggest the quality is so variable that I decided to save my money for a more expensive one that has a better seal of quality.
"Dink Smallwood, I used to love that game. It really resonated with me for some reason....Dink Smallwood." Got a genuine chuckle out of me for that subtle humor.
This looks cool, but the V90 looks like a better value, especially for the price. I got mine in black for a less cheap look. Your CFW video was especially helpful in getting a speed boost on the V90 too
@@TechDweeb actually just looked into a solution, if anyone ever says their battery isnt charging or stays at a certain percentage they need to take the back off with the screws and move the wire around that is connected to the actual battery. Fixed mine and no issues. I've noticed many people have this problem in the long run with this device
I just ordered one. Should be here any day. I remember Dink Smallwood...I gotta get that again. Nice!!! I'm think of running Adam Image on it. it can't arrive soon enough
Lucky kid! Might I suggest you curate a 'best of' list for him to enjoy? I did that when I gifted the PowKiddy v90 to them, initially they found finding good games in the thousands of games daunting, but when I curated the list to like 100 hand picked games that I thought they would like their enjoyment of the device went up a lot.
Yes, but they're in the stupid naming convention that I complained about, which basically makes it impossible to find the roms you want. I'd suggest at least renaming the roms you want to play so you can find them easily, but the best bet would be to just find a replacement rom set with proper names IMO.
I enjoyed this.. to be honest a normie wouldn't probably buy this anyway.. 95% of the people would be techies.. I remember doing homebrew on the wi.. can't be any harder than that haha
Great review, and its great that you review it in a perspective of someone who is new with this kind of device

I couldn't agree more

That "extreme" teenage pic of Linus from Linus Tech Tips made me laugh so hard.

The box makes me feel like I am opening a calculator

That "Powkiddy" animation always makes me smile. Lol

Wish you would of done a long term review on it. Has a huge battery issue
Oh yeah? I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary. I still use it from time to time and it works well when I do.

Awesome to know, thanks for the update!
This is my favorite console I own.

Fun video. System looks good. I heart my powkiddy v90 and my anbernic rg350. Cheers.
The RG350 looks really solid, I was considering that in the past and I still might consider it depending on the next generation.
I Ordered this beauty for my 8 year old son for Christmas. He's going to be so happy.

@@TechDweeb Great suggestion. Will do!
Hey buddy do you think from the recent updates of the Adam image. It will run games even more smoother than before?
Is it possible to take the ROMs from the not so good sd card that comes with the rg280v and transfer them to a good sd card?
Yes, but they're in the stupid naming convention that I complained about, which basically makes it impossible to find the roms you want. I'd suggest at least renaming the roms you want to play so you can find them easily, but the best bet would be to just find a replacement rom set with proper names IMO.
HOW did you get harvest moon running on the 280V?
Whatcha mean? It, just runs. Runs great. Are you not able to get it running?
@@TechDweeb Its the SNES version, correct? I'm also running the adam image, guess I'll give it a try!
That's the GBA version actually. Friends of Mineral Town.

Hey men can that tiny think can play Sega Saturn Games ?
Nope :.(
@@TechDweeb do you know what small headheld can play sega saturn ?
What os did you install on it?
Adam Image - link to the guide and downloads in the video description
You sound like IceKing from adventure time
I actually do a KILLER Ice King impression ;)
How do i get the games in order
Just put your own roms on it labelled alphabetically
Nice review 👍 but it can't play N64 because no analog
while RG35XX be like :
