    Between this and recent handhelds it seems like we're finally getting devices of a decent quality and usability and even for an affordable price. For years it seemed every device under $150 had at least one major flaw. Whether it was horrible controls, terrible screen, or even hardware that wasn't capable of emulating the systems! I'm glad things are finally changing!

    24:00 - Axelay appears to be running a little slow, judging by the shooting speed. I love that game..... Stage 2 music is so good. Konami was so awesome in the 80's & 90's.

    TIL there's a Fatal Fury Special on the GG and it looks and animates like a beast. What a marvelous machine. The speaker looks the right size to be an 8ohm one for arcade cabinet usage and it must have a good amp circuit driving it, they did a real good job on this.

    • @RetroCore

    Great minds think alike. Had to buy this as soon as I saw it, love the proper aspect, buttons and quality sound.
    Mine had a different game list (only 92 CPS with a lot of hacks). You can add more ROMs but have to edit the XML file in settings/res/ to show in the menu (very tedious), hoping someone uploads some curated romsets + xml in the future.

      Glad I saw this comment, I was literally just about to hit "complete purchase". Sounds like a pain in the ass, I'll pass. Not sure why just dragging and dropping into the folder wouldn't do the trick, but I'm not that tech savy or patient to edit XML files.

    Though I think a different, darker color for plastic shell of the unit would have looked less cheap, the A12 seems fairly nice given the price, the larger screen, good sound, and the decent controls.

    The screen is not IPS, it's a TN panel. You tested the horizontal viewing angles, but TN never had a problem with that, it's the vertical viewing angles it struggles with. If you look at the screen from below the colours invert, and blacks go way off from anything other than looking straight on (vertically). Would be nice to find a 9" IPS/*VA/OLED panel to upgrade this unit with, as otherwise it's a nice little bit of kit. The TN does OK, but could be much nicer.

    I must admit, that I like the idea of device "between" handheld and stationary device, especially due to its independent screen and sound source. A shame though, that amoung of emulators is limited and it seems that "by default" it's not adjusted to install something additionaly.

    By the way, what version of Android does this run off of? And can you change out various RetroArch cores and things like that or is it all static? I assume you can at least change the ROMS that are on the card to English ones, is that right?

    • @vandrvekn7382
      @vandrvekn7382 4 года назад

      All of that is in the firmware, not on the card. You can't change cores without replacing the firmware, and I don't know how to find out what version of Android it runs. You can replace the ROMs, but if you want them to show up in the games folder, you need to edit an XML file. You can just run any ROM from the file browser, though.

    • @skins4thewin
      @skins4thewin 4 года назад

      @@vandrvekn7382 Good to know, thanks for that. That is a shame about the cores, as it would have been nice to be able to test various cores with the system as I really don't trust the Chinese developers to have done so. As for the games, I much prefer to load my ROMS via a file browser anyway, so that works for me.
      I actually hate it when a system only allows you to pick games from a predetermined menu and not from the file system, I really hate that. As long as all of the cores allow me to do so then I'm fine, but if they don't then that would be a big problem.
