- These portable PS2 consoles from Aliexpress are so odd… who is making these?? 😂 Even more interesting that I can plug in a PS5 and play it on a portable PS2. Playing PS5 on a portable PS2 inside of a Wii U gamepad… just weird lol. Which console is your favorite?

If you had $500 to spend on one of these consoles… which one are you buying?
Definitely think the Wii U Zelda Gamepad is a cool display piece
Wii U one
Nintendo Wii U Zelda theme PS2 that's awesome
I'd pay a great pcs
I'm a Steamdeck owner
Playing a PS5 on a PS2 portable console that’s inside of a Wii U gamepad 😂 might be the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever seen
or the Wiis2 U
The biggest crossover ever
It looks legendary
Cursed
I'm surprised you didn't start a negative continuum where all corporations implode into non existence and everyone goes back to bartering.
The Wii U one is crazy and hilarious
Facts
Using the Wii U gamepad for a ps2 portable is really smart unironically. I always liked the feel of the Wii U gamepad ❤️
The USB is a deal breaker for me as it will cause issues (stuttering) in some games especially in FMVs.
Seeing as though they have memory cards inside, I'm sure you could install mx4sio.
One of them has a MX4SIO, which is a bit faster then USB 1.1
The small one looks like a sega nomad
The Wii U Gamepad screen has some cooler colors so that actually doesn't surprise me. Probably using the real Wii U gamepad display from one that is working but in poor condition, this would maybe explain why they decided to used an aftermarket Gamepad shell.
There's definitely a margin in these products, there's a huge market in china for repurposed tech. I imagine they're bulk buying in PS2s and other possibly faulty or just scuffed up consoles and repurposing them. Yes there's R&D into it but custom pcbs are cheap & handhelds are becoming popular again so parts like the screens and batteries are getting cheaper (plus labour is cheap in china). Another example of over-engineered repurposed tech would be laptop GPUs that are being turned into desktop compatible PCI-E cards, which are in quite the abundance at the moment. Tbh this is my favourite type of tech because of how clever the engineering is in some of it. Plus i mean if I had the means to bulk buy in PS2s for probably between $10-40 per console and then repurpose and resell them for like $500 i would. These companies likely make some smaller tech products so have their own in-house production and design engineers. Selling just a couple of these consoles is likely paying for the consoles alone, and the multiple revisions is likely just trying to find a design that will sell the best, once they've got a 'best seller' they'll likely hone in on that. Watch Linus Tech Tips' video on the chinese setups if you want an insight into the culture of repurposing old tech/appliances.
8:03 The two on the top are using the official OPL and the two on the bottom are using the daily build OPL that doesn't exists anymore!!!
Hey Jacor R i purchased the Super mario land/Super mario land 2 DX gba cartridge and i just wanna say thank you for giving this sad sap something to be happy about!
the reason i think they make them from a business perspective is they prolly sell them more actually in china. Either at a physical location or on a different equivalent to ali-express used by the Chinese more like Alibaba
Awesome video always like to see different things on the channel
Thanks for watching!
Good video. While these things might have been an interesting concept a few years ago, there’s no way to justify buying one of these when a $400 Steam Deck runs the entire PS2 library better than the PS2 and does MUCH more than just that.
Nothing will play PS2 games better than a PS2
@@S3MTX A lot of things will. A PS2 can’t upscale, or display widescreen. Of implement other graphical improvements.
@@S3MTX my phone runs ps2 game better than ps2, your phone probably do the same.
I have a steam deck and not all PS2 games run great on it. Most do, but I get your point. I would never buy one of these now that I have my steam deck.
@@S3MTX looks like someone that lives in the past lol hardware today plays way better than any ps2 will, even a cheap android phone would be better
This Is Awesome I Love The Content Keep It Up!
I love these. Ever since I saw a briefcase PS2 in the early 2000s I've been fascinated by portable mini consoles.
Cap
The one that you didn't know what the design was based on looks very similar to those ds consoles with broken upper screens that people make into gameboys, just the square shape, the triggers, and the protruding screen just screamed ds to me lol
I like the concept of a PS2 as a portable as much as the next guy, but it's still $500-$600 for a clunky plastic mess. Like I said it's great idea but not great on delivery. People liked the PSP because it has features the PS2 had and more. But I'm hoping this is in the right way of exposing PS2 tech to new tech. In hopes of seeing a masterpiece. But you'd expect things to get ugly in the development of working masterpiece.
Great video Jacob R.
That Wii U one is crazy 😂
Good stuff man
I was thinking about ordering from your website and I was wondering, do you clean the consoles before shipping them?
nah bro
Looks like a sega genesis nomad. The square one.
5:01 the model kinda look like a oversize micro SD card, if you take a hard look at it 😬
For some reason I can never find these on AliExpress. Are they only shipping to certain countries? I'm not in the US.
“It’s pretty ridiculous, but it’s pretty cool”
Todays Jacob video “Let’s smell consoles”.
It's the best part of the job. Especially that GameStop PS5 from a few weeks ago 🤮
the handheld at 1:08 reminds me of a giant sim card lol
Wii u game pad nockoffs are a thing?
The little square one just looks so good
i was just talking to my friend that something like this would be a great use for broken wii u game pads
5:45 that ps2 looks like it was model after a sim card! 😄
To be complete the 8 inch screen one should have the disc drive as well the memory card slots and HDMI output as it has al the original ports in the back lol
That other one looks like it's modeled after a sega nomad handheld the smallest one
the wiiu pad is amazing because its actually really smart, and a great usage for these, or for any kind of aftermarket portable console project, since the gamepad is literally useless without the wiiu and surely theres a healthy supply of those.
RIP AetherSx2 😭
it wasn't taken down it just stopped receiving updates
If they are making a 300 dollar profit and selling even 2-4 a month the seller is making around 600 to 1200 dollars in profit doing something he/she loves, also 600-1200 in china/asia would be a pretty decent monthly salary.
This would have been so cool when I was younger
Agreed, my mind would have been blown if I was 10 years old lol
@@jrob0021 hey, are worried about any of these devices randomly blowing up or malfunctioning? I sure would be
@Jacob_R2_ what?💀
Is the camera in the Wii u gamepad hooked up?
I do like these and own a few emulator handhelds (I realise these are "original" boards) all in the bottom of a drawer somewhere since I got a Steamdeck...and part of me is kind of sad about that.
I remember my brothers having a Playstation portable
Very informative. 👌👍
They should have just slapped the disc drive on it lol
I just like the Zelda Wii u gamepad that they turned into a PS2 portable console.
The square unit looks like a CRT TV.
I like the giant one the most it looks awesome The one that I would actually buy though would probably be the Wii U one
You got a link for the wii u one?
What is that gamepad getting? A streetpass?
"This one here is just absolutely massive, its huge", that's what she said lol🤣
What’s the battery life on these?
i wanna buy that WiiU PS2 from you but that things expensive lol
Good video
Could you try setting up these consoles with Gran Turismo 3 ilink battles, I always wanted to play this but never saw this :-(
I feel like they probably sell a lot of these locally or on other sites and just have them up on Ali express just passively
When I first seen the square one it reminded me of the korg kaoss pad 😄
These are always interesting
These consoles somehow exist
Looks like the small one is modeled after an original dmg, look at the slice on the right bottom corner
Honestly the wii u thing is pretty cool
But do they have pressure sensitive buttons?
the huge one is nice with that big screen and the flush sd card... i'd buy one
Looks like a 5:6 screen. Definitely better for ps2 games compared to 16:9
@17:00 I think it supposedly meant to model the proprietary Memory stick for the psp's and vitas
That rectangular one, maybe supposed to model the "GameBoy Micro"?
Exactly what I thought
The squared one reminds me of a Nomad
The square one is like a big memory card
think the square one is a game gear saga
Square one looks like a game and watch
Not me ordering another ps2 and Wii U game pad
If I had buy one I say Zelda just felt it was best around package.
I like the last one
It looks like the original seller sells these on taobao for ¥2300-¥2650 ($336 USD - $388 USD) for anyone interested in them.
im gonna buy it and post it in r/fashionreps
I mean think about it , if they can make a portable PS2 system for 10-20 dollars and sell it for 450-500 its worth it. I looked up the parts in china for making one and its crazy how cheap it is
to make.
the creator is a youtuber so it was worth time
u look so baked bro lol
You should make a video to see if you can get the wii u game pad back yo it's original state, if you even can.
Steam deck = great ps2 emulation plus so many more systems.
9:10 i knew it was coming eventually
Not sure why they went with an off white color for the shoulder buttons. They should've been transparent like the PSP and Vita.
Weird one like looks modeled after the digimon giga pet things from the 90’s
It insane that these things are real you pretty much can play Burnout revenge on the bus.
Might be passion projects. Or even projects to gain more knowledge in electronic engineering. They don’t have use for them so might as well sell what you do.
It's clearly a money laundering scheme and those blokes are somehow ps2 retro gamers so they thought they might as well be investing in R&D for these
5:46 seems to be based on a wii case
I think I will buy the rectangular one
Me and my sister used to have a ps3 but in 2018 we got a ps4
The portable PS2 that you say resembles something but not sure. It's shaped like an sd card adapter. Weird
2:36 the answer could very well just be its their hobby. for example i would love to build moped engines and maybe turn a slight profit but i would mostly have fun doing it. idk makes sense to me bc they’re both niche hobbies 🤷♀️
I have that type of game pad
i might just play ps 2 games on an old android phone instead.. a 2nd hand phone only cost 50 usd
i think the wiiu gamepad one would run coolest cuz it doesnt have crappy tin foil cooling but maybe im wrong
basically names on aliexpress
The only thing different from the Wii U GamePad are the analog sticks, those aren't the same ones.
rehashing 4 old vidoes into one.. I guess no one bought these from your website...
They probably aren't designing them. If I had to guess, I'd say they're finding designs on the internet and just printing them themselves.
brick one reminds me of a gameboy
i agree the big one is the best its the dopest i like the screen on it i would choose it cuz u can plug a controller into it cant u
I can almost guarantee that the seller didn't design any of them, they probably just ripped the designs straight from the bitbuilt forums.
you know its not legit when they name their products by the spec and not a simple name or product number
me seeing a WiiU thats not what so ever portable lol
how can a makeshift ps3 handheld have 1920x1080p but the switch cant?
If you don’t know what I’m talking about it’s a mod for a broken DS
4:10 It is a knock off , you can buy it on AliExpress for something like $30
