Ive played 4 of these now and its by far my favorite out of them. I tried 2 of the 3.5" screens and found out really quick that a 5" screen minimum is for me. I cant do small screens or small devices (hand cramp). So that limits my choices a lot. No vertical systems, no systems under 5". Then I tried the RP3+ and it was ok but I hated Android. Im a new user and the setup of the x55 is much more easy for me to configure. Also the screen looks better to me. T618 is ok and morr powerful but I like older retro consoles as thats what I grew up with. Maybe a few years down the road when ALL PS2 games can be played at 720p/60fps minimum and the user interface is super easy to use i will look into upgrading. I dont want to have to deal with Android. Its too wonky and complicated as it is now. I need more of a plug and play solution. Im not a tinkerer, i actually like to spend my time playing games. The x55 allows me to do that with minimal headache. Warning to all noobs who purchase the RP3+.... get ready to tinker your head off and be frustrated when things dont work right.
When RK3588S becomes cheaper in future, I'd love to see one jammed in this console. Aesthetically this is one of best looking things youve reviewed and has probably the best screen to boot.
And the best size too, the market has become obsessed with bricks after the stamduck success, yeah it's a great device for it's price, but goddamnit is it ugly.
Install JELOS, its the official OS, not sure why you are using the old outdated OS? Unless you have had it for a while, it no longer ships with this OS and the new one fixes a lot of problems and is updated frequently
@DesertFoxNL yep. It isn't perfect but it's an improvement. But some games like Crazy Taxi 2 are still rough. I'm certain there are extra games on there now since upgrading to Jelos but not absolutely sure.
I test and review products for Amazon. This was one I choose to review. It's a pretty sweet handheld loaded with a good bit of old school games. Capcom Play System 1,2 and 3 is one, with a bunch of Capcom arcade games. It has I'd say close to 100 games+, all retro. NES, SNES, Sega Master System, Sega Genesis, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, Gameboy Advance. Neo-Geo, Arcade Classics and several other categories with several games on each. I tried out Street Fighter, TMNT, Mortal Kombat and they all played fine. Slight hiccup with Street Fighter here and there, but nothing to ruin the game/round. For FREE, I'd say it's pretty much badass. Lol. But seriously, this is probably the BEST handheld since the PSP, and this has PSP as well as PS1 emulators in it. Also M.A.M.E, Capcom Play Station, PlayStation, PSP and others. If it's say $150 TOPS. Would be the most I'd pay. I'm unsure what they cost. Good Game System!
Thanks for the video! Yes, a tear down would be great! The Powkiddy RGB10 Max 2 had an iffy D pad, too. I was able to heighten it a bit, and added some binder rings over the D pad contacts. It helped get rid of the phantom diagonals. I’m curious if the X55 has a similar setup, and if I’m able to use this same fix. I’ve ordered an X55, but it hasn’t arrived yet.
Just ordered this one last week. Waiting for it to arrive in the mail. looking fwd to it! And yes you need to Install the latest jelOS. Only downside it the jelOS build does not support HDMI out.
It's more the question what formfactor you like to see and use more often. X55 does haves a bigger case design where the rgb30 is compact. Both are really comfy to play in the end. And... what games do you want to play.
@WickedGamerCollector mainly ps1 n64, maybe some saturn games. (As 8 & 16bit I know is no problem). Or a better model, that will play psp better? I don't want to spend $200 but maybe $125 $150 if better. Thank you so much for replying 🙏🙌
If Powkiddy made ships they have made quite of bit of boat anchors or ships that floated for a short time before sinking. They had a few of good ones mixed in between the bad ones.
@@cleangoblin2021 A person who doesn't like to spend money would take a voyage on the ship it would sink after leave the dock with no life boats on the ship because they would say they were waiting for them to be delivered so everyone would die.
For the price, it's AWESOME! But it needs a lot of optimization, you shouldn't be forced to run dreamcast at 320x240, the proc should easily get 1080p. It's the same proc as the RP3+ right?
I know this is a review video but I don't know how else to look this up or ask this question. I got my x55. And it was working great. Got it updated to the latest jelos. The games were working as of this morning. But I just tried to play it again and the main menu loads. It allows me to select a game. But not matter what game I select the screen either goes black, completely white, or the weirdest one green. Is this a problem with the rom SD card? Edit update: so the console still works kind of. I tried to configure some buttons in the psp. Now it's unusable entirely. But the main problem at the moment I'm seeing is I cannot load from main page directory. It would seem I can only load up games when loading the emulators. So I have to start retro arch 64. Find a game and it will start that way. But will not work the other way at all. If someone has any pointers or advice please lead me to it. Thank you.
Mine came with jelos, but the HDMI doesn't work. Powkiiddy told me there was some kind of production problem but didn't give me any recourse. It's like saying I spilled my soup on you --- OOPS! Not only that but i purposely orderd the 2 controllers so i could play it through the tv, but with hdmi not working i wasted my money on the controllers. I ordered one with 90,000 games , but if i ordered one with less games i would have gotten the screen protector. Why is this important? It's because one screen protector arrived cracked and the next one was soft ,dark plastic and didn't stay on. The seller actually asked me if it was the wrong product. Now I'm tempted to do without the screen protector cause what if the next one is no good?
Ik heb hem net binnen voor de kids maar dit is eigenlijk ook mijn vraag. Ben er totaal niet in thuis maar juist die mario games wilde ik er op. Heb lopen zoeken maar zie mario world en kart er niet tussen staan , daarom mijn vraag waar kan ik dat vinden en hoe ....😂
It's a shame that it isn't a touch screen and it isn't running Android if it was I would have jumped on that handheld it's beautiful looking that's the only thing stopping me is the performance and it's not running Android if it was for the same price I would have grabbed it in a heartbeat I like the other pile Kitty one that is black that's kind of like the shape but it's running Android that's the one I want
OMG,...package from China....it never gets old when you say it. Puts me in a good mood before I even watch your video!
seems everybody loves this one and powkiddy did a good job this time

I was going through withdrawals from not hearing you say Powkiddy recently. I gotta say that was worth the wait and you never disappoint!
I've got few weeks and this device is amazing after June jelos update , screen shape is awesome
Works with the TV, Nice.
👍👍
I think we are gonna see more of these devices in the future, tv out and handheld all in one

I just installed Jelos and although you have to make a few tweaks for individual consoles and games, it's made a huge difference in the way games run.
Frameskip on 1 on DC and PSP ? and Performance Mode on... ?

Out of all these type of handhelds, which do you honestly recommend??
Still loving the rgb max
Cant wait for his review of the retro shooter Pandora's box!!!
Received today. After 6 days. That's record for me. On latest JELOS from yesterday works great.
I get mine on the 24th how is the dreamcast and PSP Emulation ?
wondering same, how is DC and PSP ?? N64
@@DesertFoxNL Keep your expectations in check.
Are the games preinstalled and ready to go out the box?
Jeez just about everything you ran was stuttering!😢
He has the old software on it. The new JELOS software/frontend makes everything to PS1 very good, fast interface and PSP/Dreamcast on Frameskip1
It's not bad if you want something on a budget but the performance for more demanding consoles like N64, Dreamcast doesn't seem to perform well
Nice review bro 👌
Love this channel good lot nostalgia plus he's good playing these games
Hallo what kind of controller do you use in the video ? Thanks
Love your videos! &aliexpress! What do you like better, x55 or rgb30?
For n64, ps1, psp? saturn maybe.. thank you! 😎
It's more the question what formfactor you like to see and use more often.
X55 does haves a bigger case design where the rgb30 is compact.
Both are really comfy to play in the end.
And... what games do you want to play.
Which do you prefer kind sir, rgb30 or x55 for 32bit 64bit emulation?
@WickedGamerCollector mainly ps1 n64, maybe some saturn games. (As 8 & 16bit I know is no problem).
Or a better model, that will play psp better? I don't want to spend $200 but maybe $125 $150 if better. Thank you so much for replying 🙏🙌
Excellent video, could you test if the D-Pad and the front buttons can be changed by those of Anbernic or the Miyoo Mini?
If Powkiddy made ships they have made quite of bit of boat anchors or ships that floated for a short time before sinking. They had a few of good ones mixed in between the bad ones.
Well who would you trust?
SS. Anbernic or SS Powkiddydiddly?
Name alone sounds bad

Amiga / Amiga Cd32 works???
In 2023 I expect a $100+ device to run N64 flawlessly, so to see how much this handheld suffers running N64 is an incredible disappointment.
Yeah performance is struggling, I'm assuming PS1 will perform just as bad
@@HUYI1 PS1 should be fine, PSX emu has been easy for 2 decades now. N64 is a different beast.
I don’t see where you think this is over 100, got mine for 75 and been enjoying psp & n64 games so far
@@oscxrv8621 US dollars and Canadian dollars are not the same thing. Welcome to the World Wide Web.
@@HUYI1 Why? The PS1 is 32-bit and significantly easier to emulate than the Sega Saturn. The N64 is 64-bit.

No
No, RK3566 vs. T618.
Does it have a free tempered glass inside?
You should ask seller not me. 😁
thanks for share!
As long it can play tomba 2 from the ps1 👍😁 if not then snes and few Nintendo 64 games but mostly old school for me 😎
How easy is it to change the aspect ratio?
❤ This Device Doesn't Play N64 Or Dreamcast Bit Of A Shame In My Honest Opinion, But All In All Great Device & Amazing Gameplay.

Wicked Back Again To Show Us All Of The Packages From China
can it play ps1/psx games at all?
Yeah ... you can indeed.
I bought the x55 and I bought the one without the expansion card… smh Does this mean I won’t have a games on it?
how do you add PSX games to this?
Volume is bad, but everything else is good!
It should have had the T618 inside it
Most of the videos on powkiddy x55 is reviewing a version we can not get
Oh man. I was hoping to see PS2 on this powkiddy x55 :C
PS2 no we need tot wait for that with these cheaper handhelds.
If it runs it .. it's a hit or mis sometimes.
Love these reviews. Are u rich?😂
He is...but don't pass the secret lol!😂
No teardown? What does the battery look like?
Ughh. Just leave PSP and Dreamcast off if your system can't run it.
rk3588 in one of these with 6 or 8gb of ram.
It has no address, web site, nor a contact phone. Yup. PowKiddy is just a brand😐
Addendum: Emuelec? Amlogic chip, it is🔍
Does this have pre installed SNES Mariokart and other Mario games?
(And are you Dutch?😂)

linux is better
mine came with Jelos on it and runs way better,
Yea soc is 20 more an he ram is 2 a gig so 35 bucks more to make add plus 30 to the price 160.
It does look comfy, but I just don't like Powkiddy. I sooner trust Data Frog.
How many packages from China on total do you have lol
They need to stop working on looks and work on software the game boy types still rule and give you the best bang for you bucks
