      @@technocatgmz3600 Bruh, it emulates Gameboy, Gameboy color, nes and Sega Genesis perfectly + cool SNES controller look. And just for that, in my opinion FOR 10$ it's a great value. The fact that emulation of SNES, Gameboy advance and mame isn't good, and even some mame games do run at full speed is a bonus to me. Maybe someone wants a cheap handheld for old games that he can bring anywhere and not worry about damaging or breaking it. That's just my opinion. And if you disagree present your points why it isn't worth 10$. 🤷

    I've had the Game Box for years. I found out while playing Road Fighter, if i plug a USB cable in while that game is active, the car drives itself straight forward and steers itself out of every skid somehow. It's like some super efficient and direct AI is driving the car. Maybe some short circuit going on or something.
    The dpad on that thing sucks, feels kind of rough to push any direction, and it all goes down at once rather than tipping down from the middle.
    All of the NES games on mine (not sure if all of the Game Boxes are like this) have only one sound channel, so only part of the music comes through.

    I bought the similar version of the game box and happy with it. I modded mine to also use a 3.7V 5000mAh battery similar to a AA battery but larger. The included battery is 1020mah and gets weak fast and makes the unit glitch with dim screen after an hour or two use. The back lit screen is really bright so if there is a higher mah battery that size I would suggest getting one.

      They all work out of the box just fine without swapping microsd cards, it's just usually recommended to swap them out because sometimes the stock cards are cheap and can fail. But the vast majority of retro handhelds you will find will play just fine out of the box without bringing everything over to a new microsd card :)

    i remember back when the fc retro thing was the thing for several months well finally bought one
    and to be honest i dont see what the big deal with it was its 8 bit games but they actually ran decent but the screen was so smal and it had screen tearing issues that it made it incredibly difficult to see bullets coming at at you (contra) the buttons were all linked together a or b also pushed its turbo counter part for you the over all size of the unit was to small for adult hands terrible speaker just not worth the 40 dollar price point in all honesty these chinese handhelds are a terrible buy as they always have issues that are fixed in later revisions but then revision 2 has that issue resolved but two new problems that werent an issue in previous revisions
    the best hand held gaming device honestly is your old andrpid phone or even ypur current phone youll have a much better experience using a playstore app. since its constantly updated by its developer any way thats my 2 cents worth on chinese handhelds

    The Powkiddy being able to do PSX is pretty impressive for the price. Still, I'd go for the 35XX or Miyoo Mini+ if I was getting a low end system. The overall build quality on them seems much better than the Powkiddy from what I've seen.

    • @Riggy931
      @Riggy931 Год назад +2

      Unless you’re doing some kind of deal the powkiddy sells for half the price. And the games I’d be interested in playing are the same ones I would play on the miyoo or anbernic (gba or snes). At 30-40 bucks total, the powkiddy is way more reasonable for someone that doesn’t want to make owning retro handhelds a hobby or for a kid. Once I’m paying nearly 100 bucks I start questioning whether I should get something like a retroid pocket 2s or go all out with an anbernic rg405.

      At the price of the RG35xx, you can find things like the RG351p (which can run GBA, SNES and PS1 essentially perfectly and kinda N64 / DC, it also has a few ports like Celeste, AM2R, Freedom Planet and many more) or the RK2023 (which can play DC and N64 really well and many more ports like Shredder's Revenge), without even mentionning the Retroid Pocket 2S, that can run some PS2 and GC games decently for $100. If you want to not pay much, the V90 or A66 are probably the better choice, if you want to pay more, I find the RG35xx and Miyoo Mini+ to be in a weird spot, it's essentially at the same price as much more powerful devices. Sure, the build quality is good (so is the RG351P since it's the same brand, Anbernic), but not enough to justify the price difference. I've seen the RG35xx sold at around $40 on sale, at that price, it makes more sense, but not at $60 - $70 like it is at regular price.

    • @rodgerfisher219
      @rodgerfisher219 Год назад +1

      @@MrCed122 Those are all pretty solid options, although you can get a 353VS for around the same price as a 351p, which gets you a better processor. With both of these systems being around $85, I'd say that the $55 35xx is still at a sensible price point. Especially since, as you said, it goes on sale a lot. I see it as a worthy upgrade from the powkiddy if you want the performance of that system with better overall build quality. Of course, if you just want the absolute cheapest possible way to play 8/16 bit games, powkiddy is going to be your better option.
