@@GameTechTalk I've never been Apple with the exception of installing a Mac network, on spec, at Bell Canada in 1992 timeframe. Fun times.

Most definitely a great option if you want to do retro and Apple Arcade titles, even App store. The only games you'd miss are those big graphically challenging games like Resident Evils but it doesn't seem to be the main focus of developers and Apple anyway, at least not for now so you wouldn't be missing much.
Nice video! It would be interesting if you covered Mac gaming, too. It is an interesting topic with recent releases from Resident Evil to coming ones like Assasins Creed Shadows!
They both have their qualities and benefits over one another. The iPad Pro is part of my production tool at this point but for games and entertainment, I 100% agree, I prefer Android as well.
You mean why I got the one I have? It was primarily for work. I use it mainly in my production but I’d be remiss if I didn’t admit that I am not using it anywhere as much as it should be used, considering how expensive that it is.
@@nervouszoom4640 Yeah so iPads are indeed tools for all the things you said. I think they are particularly good for creative stuff albeit expensive. With that said, a Tab S tablet from Samsung will get you 90% of the way there for a fraction of the price if you compare to top tier options. The good news is you can get a "pen" experience with a whole spectrum of iPads, just make sure that the one you buy is compatible. If you want to do a lot of video rendering, you have to go with the iPad Pro options absolutely, and I think only the M2 and M4 iPad Pros are viable.
If money is no object, or maybe it isn't but you still prefer money-smart decisions, go G8. If your mindset is: "The best, no matter the cost", go Kishi Ultra. In other words, If G8 Galileo is 100%, Kishi Ultra is 110%. The extra you get with the Ultra does not warrant double the price that it almost always costs AND, they both lose features that the other one has so some differences are lateral more than vertical. I hope this helps, cheers!

That would be something that Google might be able to help you with. As I am unable to point in any specific direction, I can at least tell you that you should be searching for "roms". For example "SNES roms" and from there you should find ways/tools/ressources on how to bring your own roms into your emulator. There are many ways to extract them from the physical games you own yourself, or download copies of them online. As for on iOS's side, I have a video on my channel breaking down the initial process of getting your roms to work. Cheers!
Just wanted to pass on a little info maybe you could use for future videos. 1:22 says 15Wh. "Wh" means"watt hours". That is how many watts you could pull for a straight hour. This is a number usually used for batteries. Like if say you were charging your phone off of a battery for one hour and the phone was puling 15 watts, the battery would be dead in 1 hour if it was a 15Wh battery. The passthrough power should say "15W", as it can pass 15 watts to the phone continuously. Thanks for the great video.
It is yeah, I have a video that is a short breakdown of the thing, great to see if this is something you'd be willing to do: ruclips.net/video/p_1LW5rn7TI/видео.html RetroBreeze has a nice video showing you the process, he was the actual inspiration hence why I credit him: ruclips.net/video/waIZBFvSmrk/видео.html
Hold the top left and top right buttons, the circle ones that are used as "select and start". Hold them long enough for the LED color to change. You should have three colors, light blue (white), green and bright blue. Only "light blue" mode works on iOS, the others shouldn't be recognized by your iPad. I hope this helps, cheers!
I'd be lying if I said I understand MacOS's ram management well enough to answer that question. But from a logical point of view, even though 8gb seem very little in modern day's standards, as long as the ram management is handled accordingly by the OS, most games should be able to run in some capacity. Would having 16gb ram be better? Obviously. But well before being concerned by ram, having the emulator that can play such titles will be a much greater barrier of entry for a good while. At least I would think so. Cheers!
The only thing missing from that Galileo setup is vibration. When Moonlighting only PS4/PS5, Official Joycons and Xbox controllers have vibration support.
But how is the weight tho? Also when I see people doing this with the gyro controllers like overstretching them, I can’t help to think that it’s actually not safe.
It's shockingly viable. If you worked with a Steam Deck, a ROG ALLY, it feels lighter than both despite being quite close in number. I think it's due to how slim the device is, the footprint of its weight does not spread outside of a very VERY contained "sheet". There are printable covers for these controllers when stretched. Also, I can literally hold the springs, it doesn't nothing. GameSir designed alien tech with this system, it's so good!
The Switch Pro Controller works on iOS but only through bluetooth, it doesn't work wired. So yes, there is no reason why it wouldn't, albeit with maybe a bit of latency but nothing too crazy that it wouldn't be playable.
wish there was a game controller that just attaches to each side without a bar across the back. leave the back exposed so you can can add one of those coolers if you want one
Those exist but not for tablets to my knowledge, or at least not without some pretty good 3D printing designing skills. Then there's also the question of if iOS supports those controllers at all.... Ahhhh, in a perfect world right?
So I'm not the best guy to ask and the reason is I bought the first Win Mini and ended up not reviewing it because somewhow, I wasn't inspired by it. Honest truth. It's not a bad device but it didn't do it for me. Now the 2024 does have VRR which addresses one of the ick I had with but ultimately, it comes to understanding just how immensely different these two devices are. So for me to give you the best possible advice, I have to ask, what is your top 3 main goals with a handheld in order of importance? (eg. gaming / productivity / Netflix / portability / etc...) Also, would you be new in the Apple ecosystem of products and OSes? Are you more a Windows type of person? That'll give me a better understanding of what you need to better make my recommandation.
@@GameTechTalk thank you for being active replying now want to buy this ....last question hahaha wich controller is best for the 11 inch on your same set up is it playable or is it heavy will buy m4 because of your video i want a same set up like you
@@PInoyHenyoRito I personally prefer the Galileo G8 with it but the X2s is surprisingly feasible if you prefer to not have to mod the controller. With that said, one feels more amateurish than the other whereas the Galileo G8 feels like a proper handheld solution albeit with a bit of extra effort. I hope this helps!
It usually does, MAME is the name you want to look out for but for the time being, I do not believe that those cores are available on RetroArch iOS. That could change at any moment mind you.
@@GameTechTalk But the box-art won't pop up. iCan get it done with the nes & snes games, but not the arcade mame. If you can work it out, let me know, thanks.
Ahhhh.. as much as I want to agree on that one (cause believe it or not, I'm not a fan of Apple), the iPad really is an engineering marvel, which is why I ultimately disagree. It's not cheap, and it doesn't have an OS to let that hardware shine to its full potential but I do admit that it is impressive hardware.
Extremely well, it still closes just fine after all the suffering it endured. The X2s is the one that will keep that small gap after being stretched a bit too long.
So the regulars of my channel will probably pick it up from my buying habits, I like big. Big and bold is something I definitely embrace and for me, the Win Max 2 (if you're familiar) for example is very fine to play on. With that said, I've attached controllers on the Minisforum V3, on the Tab S8 Ultra and by far, the device on which it feels best in terms of weight distribution and the balancing act of playing extended periods with ANYTHING in the "heavy" handheld compartment, this setup wins easily. It is an engineering marvel this thing, the thinness and super well distributed weight through its body makes it feel way lighter than it actually is. So I'd say it is impressive how viable this solution is but in that same breath, I hope to illustrate just how much comfortable I am around these "heavier" solutions too.
@@GameTechTalk Thanks so much! I have an original Max and a Max 2 (the latter being one of my favorite devices of all time. So that was a comparison that hits home. Found your channel on a random recommendation and glad I did.
I have the Tab S7 Plus and S8 Ultra. I was going to buy the Tab S9 but decided I was going a bit overboard 😅 . They are great products for sure and I think I’ll have no choice when a Tab10 is up on the market. DeX is crazy good, the panel is, it’s Android, Snapdragon’s 8 Gen is stupid efficient and powerful. Yes, I agree it’s great stuff but the iPad is just as awesome in its own rights, you just found what works best for you and that is why choice is important!
@@JaydenTucker-z8t To a certain level, it won't hurt the performance, past a certain level it will, so it's always a "trial and error" kind of thing as some games may be harder to run than others.

But, I'll talk to GameSir, see if we can make this happen. Cheers!
The only emulator that we potentially might have a harder time with if/when it ever comes to the App store would be Switch and maybe PS2... Maybe some Wii U titles as well but not the majority? Anything else would be fine. Apple also employs very intricate ram management so I'd assume even the later systems to do fine with shader cache and whatnot. The challenge would most likely be more along the lines of finding the right developers to take advantage of Apple's ram management system but there are a lot of very intelligent people out there so time will tell. Edit: In other words, I don't know that paying the overcharged premium for 16gb is worth, based on the sheer amount of time it will most likely take for options that we don't have to become available on iPads. If you're buying an iPad thinking you could upgrade in 4-5 years, don't have concern over it. If you're buying thinking you'll have at least 10 years with this machine and would want to emulate Switch in the future... It's still a gamble but I could see the 16gb give you obvious advantages down the road. I hope this helps and sorry for wall-of-text!
@@GameTechTalk I’m still stuck haha, debating to upgrade my 2018 12.9 pro to either 1tb 11” or the base 13”. I do plan to keep it as long as I can. What are your thoughts on it?
@@runeass @runeass I had that same internal battle. I ordered the 13 256gb and then I was like: "Ohh dang, should I have gone 1tb, should I have gone 11." I ended up rationalizing it and made my bro change his 1tb to 256gb and he's happy he did. The upcharge is just too significant. The extra core, space and ram are fun to have but let's be real, we'd be paying 50% upcharge on 1-5% use case scenarios? And when we really stop and wonder, it is obviously designed to rack in more profit, not offer flexibility. 20-25% uptick would've been: "Hey just make it how you feel", not 50%. So Apple making those changes is a willingful decision to induce FOMO. When coming to that conclusion, my choice was clear. Ultimately, as an editor, GPU was more important for me and that doesn't change so I stuck with 256gb and I bought this: geni.us/809Bzv (affiliated). This is such a game changer that 256gb is not even any semblance of a concern and with FCP2, I'll be able to edit off it so yeah. Best decision I made. As for 11 vs 13, I think it all comes down to "lifestyle" preferences. I like bigger screen and don't mind the extra weight but I did hesitate for about 37 secs if portability was more my jam, turns out it isn't. I hope this helps and again, sorry for wall-of-text #2! 🤣
@@GameTechTalk Was not for ur video, just another overkill tech that can't even run AAA games or take full advantage of all that power. I would much rather get the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra for video content, especially with expandable storage and I can actually drag and drop my 4K movies / series collection to watch anywhere anytime. Larger widescreen... oh! Waterproof too. All for less than the cheapest iPad model.
A lot of people want iPad OS to blow up and for iPads to have a proper MacOS experience. I doubt it'll happen but I can understand... having this much power without a better suited operating system is a bit of a letdown but if dealing with one app at a time, it's still quite epic and powerful.
@@GameTechTalk I agree they won’t make a device to compete with its own products. iPad is only meant for creative professionals like myself. iPad is a great tool if use to its full potential also has learning curve as well. Not for everyone for sure.

And I accelerated it because this creator did already a phenomenal video covering the "how": ruclips.net/video/waIZBFvSmrk/видео.html
I feel as though there was an extensive enough coverage pertaining to that controller and I don't have a second one to redo the mod unfortunately. But, I'll talk to GameSir, see if we can make this happen.
Cheers!
Will emulator use more than 8gb of ram ?
The only emulator that we potentially might have a harder time with if/when it ever comes to the App store would be Switch and maybe PS2... Maybe some Wii U titles as well but not the majority? Anything else would be fine. Apple also employs very intricate ram management so I'd assume even the later systems to do fine with shader cache and whatnot. The challenge would most likely be more along the lines of finding the right developers to take advantage of Apple's ram management system but there are a lot of very intelligent people out there so time will tell.
Edit: In other words, I don't know that paying the overcharged premium for 16gb is worth, based on the sheer amount of time it will most likely take for options that we don't have to become available on iPads. If you're buying an iPad thinking you could upgrade in 4-5 years, don't have concern over it. If you're buying thinking you'll have at least 10 years with this machine and would want to emulate Switch in the future... It's still a gamble but I could see the 16gb give you obvious advantages down the road. I hope this helps and sorry for wall-of-text!
@@GameTechTalk I’m still stuck haha, debating to upgrade my 2018 12.9 pro to either 1tb 11” or the base 13”. I do plan to keep it as long as I can. What are your thoughts on it?
@@runeass @runeass I had that same internal battle. I ordered the 13 256gb and then I was like: "Ohh dang, should I have gone 1tb, should I have gone 11." I ended up rationalizing it and made my bro change his 1tb to 256gb and he's happy he did.
The upcharge is just too significant. The extra core, space and ram are fun to have but let's be real, we'd be paying 50% upcharge on 1-5% use case scenarios? And when we really stop and wonder, it is obviously designed to rack in more profit, not offer flexibility. 20-25% uptick would've been: "Hey just make it how you feel", not 50%. So Apple making those changes is a willingful decision to induce FOMO. When coming to that conclusion, my choice was clear.
Ultimately, as an editor, GPU was more important for me and that doesn't change so I stuck with 256gb and I bought this: geni.us/809Bzv (affiliated). This is such a game changer that 256gb is not even any semblance of a concern and with FCP2, I'll be able to edit off it so yeah. Best decision I made.
As for 11 vs 13, I think it all comes down to "lifestyle" preferences. I like bigger screen and don't mind the extra weight but I did hesitate for about 37 secs if portability was more my jam, turns out it isn't.
I hope this helps and again, sorry for wall-of-text #2! 🤣
Meh...
Tks for watching!
@@GameTechTalk Was not for ur video, just another overkill tech that can't even run AAA games or take full advantage of all that power. I would much rather get the Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra for video content, especially with expandable storage and I can actually drag and drop my 4K movies / series collection to watch anywhere anytime. Larger widescreen... oh! Waterproof too. All for less than the cheapest iPad model.
Appreciate the video
I'm happy to read it and thanks for sharing it with me! 😊
Oh hello no, respect to it as a machine but not as a software😢
A lot of people want iPad OS to blow up and for iPads to have a proper MacOS experience. I doubt it'll happen but I can understand... having this much power without a better suited operating system is a bit of a letdown but if dealing with one app at a time, it's still quite epic and powerful.
@@GameTechTalk I agree they won’t make a device to compete with its own products. iPad is only meant for creative professionals like myself. iPad is a great tool if use to its full potential also has learning curve as well. Not for everyone for sure.
still no jit. Android is just better. All that power is useless
I hear you and I think a lot of iPad users are frustrated with the software and OS situation but I do think, at least to some extent, that the hardware quality speaks for itself.
@@RandomUser-tj3mg there is jit using trollstore, and altstore there’s so many ways to enable jit thru jailbreak and none jailbroken devices meanwhile sometimes andriod require root
