Was into emulation decades ago, around the time when MAME first came out, and now I have picked up 2 of these devices after watching reviews.
All I can say is oh my God, the progress of the emulation scene is outstanding, dedicated OS's, dedicated hardware.
This device is excellent for its price. I have one setup as a home console and my kids will be shown the history of computer games starting from the Atari VCS 2600.
Hehe yes people who know the history appreciate these devices a bit more. I’m on a journey to discover as many of the original hardware devices I can get my hands on, but I think we are nearly at a point where these emulators are better.
Nice video, new subscriber 😁 i really love mine and its interesting to see the pack-in SD card which i didnt get, it does actually look pretty good!
New subscriber here: Excellent video and review! Thank you.
I've had mine for a month, and I'm super happy with the RGB30. GB, GBC, and GBA with shaders look fantastic. Pico-8, vertical form factor, vertical arcade games... The high-resolution screen is great for CRT shaders (which don't look okay on 480p screens). The only negative is the sleep function on JELOS (it seems to work on ArkOS, but I haven't tested it yet).
Hey thank you! From what reports I’ve read ArkOS does not fix the issue, it’s a hardware problem.
if you had a budget of around 200'ish , which "one and done" device would you personally recommend ?
For 200 bucks I would still recommend the Retroid Pocket 3+ (shipping included) but I haven’t tested the Odin but it’s probably the best device for 200 right now excl shipping.
Retroid Pocket 4 Pro because the 3+ can't play GameCube/Wii/PS2/switch
My love for RGB30 increased after I discovered that it is possible to use MinUI as a frontend too.
Ah cool!
Closing in on 10k! Nice video!!
Thanks man, yup, planning something cool for 10k
I couldn't disagree more. You owe us all an apology for this video. Aladdin for Game Gear IS a funny game, and I will fight anyone who claims otherwise.
Lol 😂 I felt like I needed to add a funny GIF at that point but I couldn’t find anything.
I know that dude
Go home Dweeb. You're drunk!
Fight. Fight. Fight.
Techdweeb the Aladdin defender !
Great video, I really enjoyed it. My RGB30 is actually out for delivery right now, I can't wait to get it in my hands. I bought it with GB/GBC and even GBA in mind, and of course Pico-8! Can't wait to see how awesome those systems look on it.
Ya that’s it, for lol of that it is quite exceptional and the controls are actually really good.
I'm really trying to avoid buying one but Pico 8 and 8:7 SNES are calling to me...
@@sligit it's a great device, I haven't been able to put it down!
@@kazzerism *sligit's wallet shakes fist* :D
@@sligit haha yes it is quite enticing
Hi Adin, thanks so much for taking the time to make such an in-depth review of the RGB30. I'm considering getting this device, but my experience with JelOS on anbernic rg353p was not so great due to the fact that the battery drained so quickly in sleep mode. Is there this similar problem here for JelOS on RGB30?
Hey there. Yes unfortunately the RGB30 has the same issue.
glad to see this, great comparison, thank you!
Hey thank you!
I just think it makes sense to have the increase volume be on the outside and given these are positioned on the left it just comes out backwards.
I look at this as one of the best sub $100 devices... for those that don't need a dumbed down experience. For one of my kids, a miyoo mini plus was the one to buy and just hand over on his birthday. Even before garlic/onion OS, it was very accessible.
For me, I love to mod/tinker. Specs are important to me. And I have big hands. So I am looking to pick up a green one (new colors just released on their official store). I think this will be popular enough that we'll see metal shells and other mods within the next few months. And hopefully this keeps up the trend of oddball aspect ratio models from Pow and other brands.
Great review Adin !! I've owned a RG35XX since January and love it.
Three things that disappoint me about the device: 1) not quite enough power for some early 90's arcade games such as many of the "super scaler" games (Galaxy Force 2, Rad Mobile, Final Lap series etc.) 2) being a 640x480 screen, vertical orientation arcade games naturally are unplayable 3) dpad heavy games such as any sports titles are painful to play due to the small size/grip
Hence these three faults of the RG35XX are why the RGB30 will be my next handheld. And saying "Powkiddy RGB30" out loud just sounds so right !
Hehe yup it’s a good next device for you
I like that you're comparing the rgb30 with the 2s because these are the 2 devices I am so heavily interested in, I want them both! lol
Yes they’re both great
Just FYI - you can hold Select and hit Start x2, it’s a bit easier 😊
To do what?
@@thegameguy208 exit back to the games menu
I've kinda wanted one of these just for gameboy, GBC, and pico 8. But I started playing pico 8 on my 35xx and 405m and realized that the pico 8 is really just not what I'd hoped it would be. The game size restrictions just mean that games aren't really complete. Everything feels like a tech demo, and there are so few "finished" experiences.
I hope the Pico team comes out with either a further 16 bit Pico16 or just seriously expands the file size of the pico8 .png to like 3-5 megabytes at a minimum. It'd be so cool to see what people make with just a bit more room to breathe, and a dedicated pico 8/16 machine would be a true console worth dedicating to.
Fair point!
There's some fun stuff, but I 100% agree with you, the library isn't good enough to justify buying a device like this IMO. Just something like a Miyoo Mini or any other 4:3 screen is "good enough" for PICO-8. I'm thinking to sell my Miyoo Mini and could probably enjoy pico-8 just fine on my Vita.
You are aware of people programming their larger Pico8 games to use multi cart, where the game boots from the cart, but with Wifi it can stream the necessary data to expand the game size. Of course not a perfect solution as it requires you to be connected to Wifi, but it's a thing.
I put both of these devices on my Christmas list because I couldn’t make up my mind. Love the idea of pico 8, and I would enjoy fussing around with Linux. But the quality of the rp 2s is so tempting. Plus having access to the google play store seems great. 😵💫
If you have other devices the RGB30 is the way to go. If you want a “one and done” device the RP2S is the way.
@@adinwalls currently I am using a sn30 pro and your Retro Arc iOS guide with an iPhone 13 mini. Could you imagine If apple allowed easier access to apps outside their store? Looking forward to getting a dedicated device in the not so distant future.
Ya it would make emulation amazing on iOS
I was "meh" on mine once it came in... until i did the d-pad fix/mod, and now im so thrilled with it.
Perhaps the best reason to buy this system is if you always wanted to try Neo Geo pocket. Because those systems in working condition are stupid expensive. And require backlight and IPS mods to be realistically enjoyably useable. All in one of those systems is going to cost you over 300 dollars. This will play those games flawlessly on a 100% aspect ratio accurate screen. Will cost you less than half and will play a bunch of other stuff too.
It's really funny like at first I didn't have any interest on this device. I thought I wouldn't need to have a device specifically for Pico-8 and GB. But then everyone started to talk about how good it is, and then I decided to give it a try. Turns out it's one of the best also for NES and SNES with their 8:7 aspect ratio. It's also a perfect 3x integer scale for GBA. The screen is really my favorite thing about this, not because it's square, but because of the color reproduction. It's beautiful to look at!
Yes while Powkiddy is not the best in terms of quality, to think of this as a cheap Analog Pocket really changes your perception of it.
for arcade it's also apparently not bad, for example Neogeo has more of a 10:7 pixel ratio than 4:3, so a bit more squarish.
@@MichaOstrowski 10-to-7 is equivalent to 4.29-to-3 which is actually just a bit *less* squarish than 4-to-3 🤓
@@cosmojg yes, you are correct. Idk what I've been thinking at the time. Anyway viewing area for 4:3 content is still about 3.5" in size, and with some shaders the image looks very good
screen is very good in fact id say its hard to go back to wide screen handhelds after using this as it plays retro games in their native format. but the downside is the d-pad is cheap and the overall shape of the device is bulky and uncomfortable to hold and awkward to use the shoulder buttons at that thickness the shoulder buttons could of been placed normally
the perfect handheld would be one of these screens with a more streamline shell with grooves and a proper d pad like playstation and switch has. thats the handheld im waiting for
I don't know if you're an uncle but you would be the coolest uncle on the planet
Surprised you didn't notice the dpad issue. I had to do the tape fix to correct it but other than that it's an awesome little device
Another great video Adin thanks for the honest in depth review.
Hey thanks man, this one took me a while to get my ideas together!
@@adinwalls it turned out great. You have become one of my most trusted sources on this stuff. When I refer friends to videos on a device I refer them to your videos if you have one!
@IS414H wow that wonderful thank you.
Would this also be a good option for NES, SNES (in 8:7) and maybe some PS1?
ok so do i have 2 use piko 8 or can i just download old retro games i have also does it work with fan games?
Second day of owning the RGB30 with barely any use as that first day was alll setup and the select button stopped registering inputs. You are 200% correct as I’m brand new to this hobby. The build quality even before the select failure, really through me off. But the button failure It was really deflating as i already invested a significant amount of time into setting up OS, learning retroach etc.
So sorry to hear this. Have you reached out to the seller?
@@adinwalls yes, I have already scheduled a refund. So it’s not that bad. But it’s just not the experience you want to have with your first device especially when you’re super excited about getting back into retro games and you’ve already spent so much time during setup and now just want to jump in and play games.
I still have my SD card that I can swap into another unit if I decide to purchase this thing again but I am concerned that something else will go wrong so I’m considering getting something with better QC.
Where can I get the theme you’re using on the RGB30? There aren’t many out there but no one seems to have this one you have. Nice vid I’ll be looking at you’re newer content soon.
It’s the default theme! 😊
@@adinwalls thanks for the reply. All other reviews have the one theme that comes with JelOS none have looked like this they’re all set as the strip menu. Unless this is ArkOS?
Could you put up the theme or send it over to me? Thanks
@StevieMacVFX the picture on the thumbnail is Pico8 is that not what you are looking at?
Nope at 1.18 your UI looks like this images.timeextension.com/72b3f5c090898/powkiddy-rgb30.large.jpg
@@adinwalls
I totally agree with you on this. There is a lot I love about the RGB30, especially the screen. However I have issues with Powkiddy's quality control in general and I feel that the RGB30 is one of their best, but still some way off.
Hey man, ya it’s a tough one as a reviewer but Powkiddy have really done well this year, but I am always reluctant to recommend their devices to friends and family.
@@adinwalls same here, it's been a bit to often that I've had an issue with a Powkiddy device. Hopefully the next 12 months will change that though.
I've really been liking mine, when I play NES or GB this is the device I want to use.
Yes it’s a really nice little device.
What's with the knife though?
Honestly it’s to stop the autofocus from my camera jumping from the device to my hand.
to give us a heart attack that he’s gonna scratch the screen
hello I didn't understand how to have the big screen on pico 8 can you explain again
You say that jelos is a great operating system because it is updated regularly, but recently it is no longer supported and replaced by rocknix. What is your opinion on that?
I gotta say. I think this is a great writeup of what makes the RGB30 so special and why it bothers me to see so many people tout the RP2S as the "superior" device but they're also not "wrong," they're just saying it in the wrong spaces AKA handheld subreddits and discord servers. They both don't really compare when you think about their use cases. I think your one and done device will easily be the one that properly handles more systems.
The RGB30 is becoming the handheld of the year for many within this niche hobby because to many who are already in this hobby, the RP2S is largely redundant. It offers nothing new to the table for those who already have plenty of other systems. Whereas the RGB30 really brought something with that 4 inch 1:1 display. I already have a Retroid Pocket 3+ that plays Gamecube better than the 2S and in widescreen for many many titles. I have my RG35XX which is my favorite pocketable handheld with a 4:3 display that plays all those older systems great.
I have zero need for the 2S. But the RGB30 actually convinced me to purchase a new handheld as having a large 4 inch display for vertical shmups, GB, GBC, NGP, NGPC and a dedicated PICO8 machine running actual PICO8 and not through emulation, was such a value buy at under $80 bucks. (I bought mine through gogamegeek with a coupon code that knocked it down to $76 shipped.) Which as you mentioned in your video, is nowhere near the price that you would be able to find the RP2S for.
I legitimately think more reviewers in this space need to make the distinction of who and what the device is best for. And what you touched on in the beginning and end of the review is a welcome discussion that more should be having. Well done.
Thanks for watching the whole vid (you clearly did!) and yes I try to look at it from all angles. Obviously no reviewer is perfect but I hope I covered all the bases here.
If powkiddy releases true successor to v90, with better chip , buttons and hardware shutdown - this would be a hit imo. Not gonna outsell miyoo mini or anything, but still it would sell very well. I'd buy two of these
Hey thanks for watching as always
Agreed. The Miyoo Flip might be what we both want, not out until December apparently but check it out
Miyoo is planning to release their Miyoo Flip and it will have a larger display than the V90, it will have a 3.5 inch display.
Yes a flip with GarlicOS… the dream.
Noice!
Watched this after you mentioned the RGB30 to me. Probably not the one for me overall but - like so many of these devices, it does tick some boxes. Finding the device that ticks the most boxes is where I'm at. Think I'm getting closer. Keep the knife btw - if it scares viewers, so much the better, haha!
Lol okay I have been unsure about it :-) I'm more sold on the RGB30 now than when I made this vid. But if you want a larger screen, check out Powkiddy's new RGB10 Max 3 - it is looking good
Oh, what about the Anbernic RG556?
@@adinwalls Don't think I've checked those out yet - I will add them to my long list. Thanks again Adin, have a great day
Once/if the more premium manufacturers do a similar screen this one will be quickly forgotten. Do you know if it's powerful enough to play wave race 64 smoothly?
True. I don’t know about that game but the RK3566 chipset is pretty solid for N64. Maybe just do a search for that game and the RK3566 processor. There are a few devices with it.
This is a weird one. The first thing I did with mine right after unboxing it is to replace the SD-cards with faster ones running the latest version of JELOS. Then I slapped ROMs on my own much-faster 256GB micro-SD card. So far so good. It plays up to PS1 pretty well and the only thing I play PSP are RPGs and so far it's been playing those just fine.
The weird part is that this is the first of these Chinese handhelds I've owned that came with a built-in 802.11ac wifi chipset that actually works well.
It connects right up to my 5Ghz WLAN just fine and is pretty speedy with JELOS.
Every other handheld like this with "built-in WIFI!" always had the cheaper, slower 2.4Ghz 802.11bgn chipsets forcing me to connect a USB LAN adapter to them for those firmwares that do over-the-air OS updates.
Ah that’s an interesting bit of info thank you
So which powkiddy is the best for retro gaming up to sega saturn/ps1. Rgb30 or x55?
Both are great
pls also chk XU10 retro gaming handheld... thanks!
I’ll do that thank you
no battery drain issue after 50%? many had it
I got mine now with 69e shipping included with a coupon, no games though.
how about price. now rgb30 is 80 shipped and the retro pocket is 120 without games.
My friend offer me to sell his RP2+. Is it worthed or I should just buy RGB30? They're at the same price point ($90). RP2S is not an option. It cost $50 more.
Ah man that’s a tough choice. Not sure. I think it’s a preference thing in the end. The RGB30 is a bit more powerful hey?
Can I offer some constructive criticism? I can see that you're trying for a higher quality presentation, with your cinematography and editing, switching between two cameras, etc. Your studio could really use some sound dampening to help with the echo.
Hey man I do have a challenge with this. While I’m lucky to have a large room at my disposal, dampening it properly is a costly endeavour. On the other hand there was a glitch on my video export that disabled the voice isolation feature that usually hides this quite well.
We do need the update video, I believe the RGB30 it's freaking amazing!
Yes it’s actually become my personal device for gameboy, GBC, GBA, NES and Pico8
Mine just arrived, and the system I love to play the most is Super Nintendo, it's absolutely stellar.@@adinwalls
it needs a few hardware mods but once you do that its a beast
@@M_CFV What mods have you done to it?
Mostly people do the tape mod to rectify the dpad (I need to make a vid on this but there are a few out there)
Rgb30 right out the box cant find any mario games. Also battery drains rapidly not sure why. Put battery savers on. Drained in 2 hrs hardly playing just lookin thru menu and stuff. Any ideas?
Generally speaking li-ion batteries have to be fully charged and drained several times in order for the cell to reach maximum capacity… So as you use it the first few times, you should see that two hours creep up a bit… How much is hard to say because these batteries are not always top-of-the-line so you can get a great one or you can get a really poor one… Either way cycle a few times to figure it out.
I noticed the Powkiddy uses the same joysticks as the Nintendo Switch- meaning drift will be an inevitable problem for these devices. I'll have to wait until they use better components. Thanks for the honest review.
All these budget devices have this. There are some with hall sensors like the Retroid Pocket 2s.
@@adinwalls Thank you. Disregarding price, what retro device would you say is the most reliable and best overall?
In my country, RGB30 is around $90 and RP2S is around $145. Guess which one worth more.
Similar situation here in Turkey. $160~ It’s not even guaranteed to pass to customs for rps2. Ordered the rgb30 for 89.
It’s nice when they’re still young honest RUclipsrs telling us their honest opinion.
Young, cuz when they get big they get bought a lot. $$$$
So let’s enjoy you while it last :(
Btw. Your production quality is amazing, the studio camera equipment that you’re running is top notch. I can see you’ve done your beefy investment and I respect that so much for a passioned RUclips like yourself.
Either both ways, I hope you’re a billionaire behind the cam telling us your true honest opinion about these devices but in the other side if that’s not the case, we are here to support you as much as we can in order to maintain that honestly away from the big sharks and hopefully you don’t get bought like the rest of them.
We‘ll do our part and support your channel as much as we can. We understand your time and those devices have financial inputs from your end, hope the rest of your followers do understand it as well.
When are you gonna do a video on the Rgb10max3?
Maybe soon. I’ve been updating it hoping it will finally improve.
@adinwalls I took you advice. I got the 2s. Over the 10max3.
@soniczero532 good!
@adinwalls it was between that the rgb30, 353v, and rg arcD... and even the 3 plus. 10 max3 was there till you mentioned some real issues. The rgb30 was my other serious choice. The screen looks so good in every review.
I've had this device for about 2 weeks and it has given me nothing but problems since about day 2. Cleary 'Powkiddy' and 'Quality Hardware' should not be used in the same sentence. I've had terrible battery/hardware issues and have been going around in circles with their support for about 10 days now. Have requested to return it and get a replacement but they seem very reluctant to do that despite providing them with videos showing how the device cannot seem to stay on for more than about a minute without rebooting or often just not wanting to start at all even though the battery is fully charged. They have had me open up the device and disconnect and reconnect the battery, checking all connections, etc etc.... feel like I have done a lot more than a consumer should be asked to do to try and fix their clearly faulty hardware and yet still they continue to send me around in circles. I have numerous retro handhelds but this was the first time I have purchased a Powkiddy one.... will most likely be the last too. A pity because I do like what this handheld is trying to do.... just hoping Anbernic or another supplier with a better record for quality do something similar.
Hey there, yes as I said I do have concerns with Powkiddy and I am sorry you’ve had a bad experience. Have you tried doing a fresh installation of Jelos?
@@adinwalls lol, you sound a little bit like Powkiddy support.... I have been going around in a constant circle with them. This is how it as felt like.... POWKIDDY: 'update Jelos/firmware' ME: done, POWKIDDY: 'ok open it up check battery connections', ME: done, but unit still has problems, POWKIDDY: 'ok update firmware', ME: already done that and told you it didn't do anything, POWKIDDY: 'ok open up and check battery connections', (repeat routine several times) ME: This is unacceptable, can you just let me return this and get a replacement? Clearly there is some sort of hardware/quality issue here.... POWKIDDY: Can you please update the firmware ME: Arrrrrrgggggggghhhhhh make it stop POWKIDDY : Our plan is working, they are weakening and will go away soon!
Oh gosh sorry man. Ya I don’t know why they won’t do a return.
@@wuggleworld what you described was basically my experience with rk2023. if i ever buy another powkiddy device it will be through amazon to get around all the unnecessary returns/refunds hoops
Handhelds are amazing these days. Can they load internet browser?
No the Linux ones don’t have a browser but Android ones do
The Retroid Pocket 2s is fantastic, especially if you'd rather spend 5 hours setting up your device and searching for bios and roms instead of playing games.
Like I always say, the setup isn't that bad if you work one emulator at a time. Sometimes just a basic NES standalone emulator on your home screen is all you need to start.
Undisputed champion of Pico-8 capable handhelds?
RGB30 for sure
MAME on 3.5 inch screen is too small for me, this looks like a buy
it is the best for GB, GBC, and maybe nes and arcade vertical gaming.... there is no perfect handheld for all emulation, if people think that they will always be disappointed. For me the RGB30 fills a void, the others are so very similar with nothing that really separating them.
Very true
Although…… Steamdeck….
Can you play PS1 games on it? I'd like to play FF7 or FF9 for example
Yes you can
You dont like the rattle ? Is just a box of SKITTLES! :D
That’s some mental trickery!!
Why do people say the volume is reversed? I only know volume buttons going from left to right as up then down.
All other handheld consoles are set the other way around
@@adinwalls Strange. I’m used to having + before - . The way it’s on my phone, iPad, CD player, Walkman… haven’t seen it with a - first on anything before.
lol I have literally never noticed that. You’re messing with my head. Gonna notice this everywhere now
@@adinwalls that made me chuckle a bit :)
You should maybe comment on the poor quality of the SD cards sent with these devices. You're better getting tiny best set go and sticking the Roms from it onto a good quality SD card.
Hey ya they aren’t great but given the rom set was so good, if you don’t fiddle with the sd card you should have any issues.
It’s a great low cost device. Got it for 2D games and it’s great. I think you are being very picky.
Bluetooth heaphones work. (Not all of them and not all of them on JelOS but it's not a "they don't work, period" situation)
Really? This is news to me.
Where can I buy a game card for the RGB30? I accidently ordered the one with out it not knowing =(
Just turn the device off, insert a card, then power down again, insert to your computer and add bios and Roms.
They fixed the sleep mode :)
Updated firmware last night then put it in sleep and still lost 35% battery overnight. Are you referring to Jelos or did ArkOS fix the sleep mode?
@@adinwalls JelOS... seems like a hit or miss with some units, hopefully they'll address it properly soon
From my understanding it’s an issue with the hardware.
@@adinwalls it's very likely, I'm afraid. But at least some units don't have it at all, at least mine doesn't (it's the black model, if it makes any difference).
JelOS is terrible. I wasted a day trying to get it configured the way I like, only to find out it's really buggy and not all the settings work. I installed ArkOS and it is way better. First step of buying a Powkiddy RGB30 is getting rid of JelOS. Sleep mode works in ArkOS, I can have it in sleep mode for around 2 days. It's about the same as my 3DS. The only thing I've found that doesn't work great in ArkOS is the HDMI output. I don't know if it's any better with JelOS, but it's not a feature I need or even want. I turned down the screen brightness so it's not too bright at night and it's way easier on the battery.
edit - I just checked my Powkiddy RGB30, because I've had it on for almost 24 hours, mostly sleeping. I played a little FF7 before bed and again on break at work. Probably around 30 minutes or so all together. It's at 80%.
It's hella more convenient than searching for analogue pocket
This is true.
Id be so much more excited about this product with a touch screen. Square ratio for retro gaming and ds with touch. Its such a strange thing i dont see people mention.
I think it’s because you barely notice it.
Does it come preloaded with games?
Yrs
can you put onion os on it?
No OnionOS is for the Miyoo Mini and plus
It’s hip to be square
😂it is indeed
Holding this device feels horrible and the buttons are so bad and hard to press . It was my favorite screen device if they shaped the sides to hold a little better and made better buttons . Everything else is solid
Well you can’t win everyone. Honestly most people really like the controls. I know Retro Game Corp spoke about how the controls are weirdly positioned by I really enjoyed it.
Can I please get the RG35XX because it's my birthday today❤
Hehe well I’m sending you kind thoughts… is that enough?!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
First
Thank you for this video. I was baffled by the absolute whoring that reviewers have been doing for this console.
I'm old enough to remember begging for a Gameboy Pocket and Game Gear, so I remember what those consoles looked and felt like...not great.
Prior to jumping on the Chinese handheld train, I held onto dear life to my Gameboy Advance SP and slew of Everdrives.
Once you go widescreen, you don't go back.
To me, if makes sense to crop a 3:2 or 4:3 screen to play 1:1. Or stretch 1:1 to fit. Not the other way around. You make smaller bigger. Not bigger smaller. Which is what you'd have to do with anything beyond Gameboy games on this device.
I went back. It's better to have the correct aspect ratio rather than just widescreen for everything.
