Have to say guys this one is bloody awesome! Have you picked it up yet?
HE L P PLEASE .... I Updated The System Using RETRO CAME CORPS Guide And Now All Games Have No Sound . Even The Games I'd Been Playing That Previously Had Sound Now Have No Sound At All
I just ordered myself the Purple Edition RGB30! I like the look and overall design of that purple one. I had just previously purchased the Black Edition X55, I have it and it's totally awesome. Never thought I'd be purchasing 2 PowKiddies back to back but PowKiddy is releasing some pretty good handhelds at this point.
Nice well done man and definitely worth it! I think you are going to love it man
PowKiddy just took a page out of Analogue's book releasing their RGB30 in several vibrant colors. Good move by PowKiddy!
Most definitely always nice to have a good choice of colours
Hey man so good to see you back doing some regular reviews. I really missed your content there for a bit :D
Thanks man a lot more to come
Another awesome review. I got the blue first... then the yellow. So amazing. Powkiddy NEEDS to make the next V90 with this screen!!!
Totally agree man
Finaly mate welcome back bro 👍
Ha ha thank you buddy
“Delicious!” 😂
No other channel uses these kind of descriptions and I’m here for it!!
Nice to have you back Sonic Love!🎉
This one looks very nice for vertical games too!, Picked up the rg405v and enjoying it very much!!
Thank you kindly buddy really do appreciate your time to the channel and I have just got my RG405V so can’t wait to do some videos on it
@@SonicLoveEmulationfantastic!!
You got one buddy, really glad to hear that as I’d love to hear your take on it and the tinkering options available!!
Can’t wait!!🤞🙏
Still need to find a suitable case for mine as Anbernic didn’t ship one with it!😔
That’s a bummer but I can’t wait to get stuck in to it man
Nice video and good to see your reviews again mate ,i got my eye on one of these goodies ☺️
Hey man, yeah I have done a few videos now so please feel free to check them out and it’s a top handheld man
I will do thanks for your videos @@SonicLoveEmulation
Excellent review! I really liked the performance of Sega Rally. I'm very curious about performance in Saturn games, as they are few explored in analyzes on RUclips. My list: Panzer Dragoon Series, Nights, Burning Rangers, Manx TT, Virtua Fighters 2. Thanks!
Thanks for the list I will add them in the video man
Excellent vid 👌🏻. Does it get particularly warm when playing and any issues with charging?
Nope all good the battery is very good playing about 5 and a half hours jumping through different emulators too
One thing I've noticed immediately upon examining the overall design of the B30. It follows the design of their Max 3 Pro as if being a more compact version of the Max 3 Pro. Both consoles are block shaped with the same inline triggers, have a pair of front facing speakers and they are both Linux only based. The Max 3 Pro was released first with PowKiddy fans not being as thrilled about it. The B30 shows up a few months later and it just ends up being the better handheld for PowKiddy fans. PowKiddy realizes the B30 is a big hit for them and they decide to release it in a variety of interesting color options. I think PowKiddy realizes that their B30 could very well be the answer to the Analogue Pocket along with possibly being an answer to ANBERNIC's 35XX. It could be an answer to the Miyoo Mini Plus as well!
You could be right buddy
Samurai Showdown, NBA Jam Genesis, Road Rash, Rampage 64
I did get one and I totally get it. I will never need another device for GB, GBC, and Game Gear.
Most definitely awesome little handheld
I'd say it may even be a better option than the Analogue Pocket.
The screen on the new RGB30 is truly Awesome with the top quality graphics
Yes it looks very good, nice colours and high resolution
i keep buying these ruddy handhelds thats another on the list
It can become very addictive ha ha
This is made for vertical shmups and since it also got Sega Saturn (known as the no 1 shmup-console) it’s a must-buy. Demanding games plays with ease through HDMI!
Around this is a top handheld be nice to get a better chip set in a V2 version
Finally got my Purple Edition B30! It looks very nice although I'm slightly disappointed with the overall color. It's not a bright neon purple like what is advertised more of a duller shade of neon purple. Overall, I still like it!
Nice, definitely a colour nobody has done before
@@SonicLoveEmulation There is definitely something wrong with the latest B30 JELOS download update. I flashed the latest JELOS image to a new Sandisk micro sd. When using my new sd card for OS slot 1, the games slot didn't read or write the folders to the games sd card. So no roms or content showed up from the 2nd slot.
When I mounted in the original sd card for the OS that came with the handheld, everything worked. So what I ended up doing is cloning the original OS micro sd card to my new OS micro sd card using Mini Tool partition software.
@@SonicLoveEmulation PowKiddy should have had a Silver Edition B30. I would have picked that one instantly!
Do you have to add the games to this yourself? Great video as always Sonic!
Nope come ram packed with games but I did add my own on a 400gb card. Thanks for the views man totally appreciate it
@@SonicLoveEmulation Cheers mate might have a look st this one then. I'm a total novice when it comes to adding the games n stuff!
You should be able to play most classics with this one am just adding the link no best get the one with like a 128gb card it will have thousands of games on it
how about shin megami tensei strange journey for the nintendo ds, and pokemon white version? thanks
Oh this is really tempting. I use a Vita for something similar, but it's getting a little outdated. And the joysticks suck on those.
It's a fantastic handheld man
What does the interger off do ? And why didnt mine have sega cd or saturn on mine 😮 ?
He's back.. And he's not happy.. 😁..
Hey bud, hope all is well. 👍
All good man, hope you are well? What you mean am not happy always happy me ha ha
@@SonicLoveEmulation
Just a joke.. Like a movie trailer… you know.. Lol
Ha ha how are things with you man…what you been working on
@@SonicLoveEmulation
Same old same old mostly.
I get you man
I was waiting for the Trimui Brick, but decided to get this PowKiddy RGB30 instead. Got the PowKiddy X55 instead of the Trimui Smart Pro and instead of the ANBERNIC RG552.
You are as bad as me getting them all man ha ha
@@SonicLoveEmulation Oh yes! I currently have about 17 in my retro handheld collection but I've been extremely picky about the ones I've purchased this year. The handheld has to really be something I like, has to look nice and it has to be intriguing to me. The last three I've purchased the Wood Grain ANBERNIC 405V, Black PowKiddy X55 and Purple PowKiddy RGB30 all have certain features that got my attention. In most cases I like both ANBERNIC and PowKiddy equally. They are both my top favorites along with Valve and it's Steam Deck.
I really like this one. But I already have a more pocketable DS and a steam deck for couch gaming so it's hard for me to justify this right now.
I get that that man, perhaps get it when it’s on sale down the road
Awesome review. I just got mine too. Was wondering which system runs the Dolphin Blue game?
It’s great and it should be atomiswave
Thanks for letting me know. BTW how is the battery life on your rgb30? Mines been shocking... maybe 1.5hrs to 2hrs max gameplay.
@@SonicLoveEmulation i've got the BIOS files and roms. and Atomiswave now shows up on the rgb30 dashboard now and with the rom but i cannot run any of them. do i need to put the bios files into a specific folder? under emulator its show FLYCASTXXX ones. not sure what i'm missing?
Ok cool go to settings find per system advance configuration go in to it find atomiswave and niomi and change the emulator and then give it another try
That’s pressing start and then setting should be near the bottom, if you need more help hit me up on X or twitter and I can send screenshots and stuff then
I want to replace the op system card with a better one..but im worried when i install..will it erase all my games on the 2nd sd card ? Worried itll wipe all of them...😮
Where did you get it from?
And what’s the d pad like for sf2 dragon punches
Is the link not in the description? And yes I have no issues with mine but I have head people say it’s not the best
How do i add bezels etc ?
Don't have one, but the screen is awesome
Definitely zoker and any of you like smups
Will have to pick one up when you can
Can you check if it has invader for gba??? Its a shmup
Sadly I add my own games but it did have a large library of games on it
Bought two of these for my kids for Christmas and they just sit there not doing anything, I think the new generation just aren't interested in retro games, this device plays all the older games very well, the PSP games look the best but the controls aren't the very awkward, you have to use R1 and L1 to move left and right and the analogues don't work, does anyone know how to fix this? Personally I like playing on it because I grew up with these games but the device is so fiddly to get right
It is a awesome handheld and you can go in to the settings on ppsspp and remap the buttons
which is the best color for rgb30 and what is your opinion for blue
@@mritunjayupadhyay1236 my favorite is the blue still, but I do also like the red and white one too. But I think it's about what your favorite color is really! Choose the one you want the most
The only system like this I every got. It's great. But need to learn how to add games and systems like saga saturn.
Just about to put up a video set up guide of how to flash firmware to the rg35xx also showing how to add roms and bios
Does this come with games preinstalled or do you have too buy the sd card from their website ?
Mine come with games but I did my own sd card and filled it
How do i get my own games? I am not really a gamer, im new too this
I have collected mine over many years and the sd cad you will get will have thousands of games on the 2nd sd card slot ext2 and once the handheld is shutdown you take the sd card out pop it in the pc you will see a file saying roms, click on it and it will give you all the folders to every system and then a Google search for roms will point you in the right direction. And then take out the games you don’t like and add ones you do
Ty
I'm seriously considering mounting a 1TB micro sd card to my RGB30, since it has a video media player onboard.
That’s epic put a lot of films and shows on then
@@SonicLoveEmulation Yelp!
Ha ha can you let me know if the 1TB card works in it
@@SonicLoveEmulation I'll post back here to let you know. It worked in my Max 2 so I don't see why it wouldn't. Though, you'd never really know. I haven't received my B30 yet.
is that atomiswave dolphin blue?
I think it is yes
Looks like my Purple B30 bricked on me! I'm going to have to send it back. Black screen after pressing the start button.
Holly shit, that’s not good sorry about that man, I take you tried re-flashing it to?
@@SonicLoveEmulation Yelp.
@@SonicLoveEmulation I won't have to send my B30 back after all. It appears my OS sd card failed. I purchased a new Sandisk micro sd card, flashed it with the latest JELOS and installed it. Got my B30 working again! Had to actually flash an early version of the firmware, 10232023. The latest 12142023 firmware is faulty and didn't write any folders to my roms sd card.
There was a screen brightness issue after a jelos update. Try shining a bright light on the screen and see if you can see the menu. Find the brightness setting and turn it up. Or use the button hotkey. I think it's function + volume up. There are videos online about it. It might not be bricked.
@@UofTguy Turns out the battery swelled up! I no longer use the B30. I recently got myself the B20SX instead and it's far better! Bigger and better quality battery as well.
I just got my RGB30 with 30,000 games, but my interface looks much different than yours. I don't have that same interface where you scroll by console. I also don't have SEGA CD games. What do you think I should do?
The interface will be a different theme I used when you just have the emulators to scroll through press start and you should see in the options ui or something like that it should be 2nd one down and then go in to the options and then you will see theme and you just pick one by moving it left or right or press on it and pick one. Then back out and it should change the theme. Let me know if you find it and change it. For Sega CD it means they did not add the roms for it, so you will have to google Sega CD roms and then put the sd card in to a pc and then it should have roms on it with folders add the roms to the folder Sega CD and then when you put the sd card back in the the handheld boot it up and then they should be there.
@@SonicLoveEmulation thank you. I figured out the theme UI change. Now I have to hunt down that SegaCD ROM, an SD care and someone with a pc. Is it possible to see how much memory is used of the 128gb?
@@creativedave you don't need a pc. you could use a card reader that is compatible with your phone. I did that when downloading assets and roms for a wii I hacked for my kids a couple years ago. I think I got the adapter I used at walmart, it has usb a and c. Pretty sure it was under $15.
@@jdubxi11 Thank you. I'll definitely look into that!
@@creativedave if there is a will, there is a way 😉
I can see 60 dollar gamecube emulation in 2024 for sure.
Most definitely, it’s heading towards it I think
Does it come with games?
Yes it did but I always add me own to new sd cards
@@SonicLoveEmulation ok thanks 😁
I'll give you my first impression. Until I booted Ark Os on it.... ABSOLUTE GARBAGE! The volume buttons didn't even work! Slow, not at all tuned or optimised, and it was killing its own battery. Within an hour of unboxing I had Ark OS on,and Voila!!!! My RG30 sprung to life,and yes the volume buttons work now 😂
Glad you got it sorted in the end
Minecraft 🎉????
There is a port version but not official as it's not android it's Linux
Please video gameplay Minecraft on the powkiddy rgb30
Gta 🎉??? Fifa??
On what emulator like ppsspp or dreamcast? Snes?
Ps
Psp😁😁
