I've just purchased one thanks to your video, for Nes games, Game boy and Mega drive it is well worth it! Can't wait to see what magic the modding community comes up with next! They can work wonders with slow chip sets! Thank you!
Very compact and nice video which I think would be appreciated by most. I have two feedback to give: 1. multicore only works if you use the roms folder and use the bat file for listing. 2. I think some of the roms in the original device is broken, I used the ones from SF2000 made my the Gameboy even more reliable!
Hi TNT, thank you for your feedback my friend. Good points! For customization and configuration on Stock and Multicore i already plan to make a follow up video that will give you a tool by the hand that makes configuration a more easy task. And i‘m not talking about Tadpole or the SF2000 and GB300 Tool ;) it‘s a very new coming up, combining the power of both. It‘s just great :) The tip with the SF2000 roms seems really helpful 👍🏻 i also experienced a few games that just don‘t start (e.g. "The Amazing Spiderman" on GB system. I‘ll give that a try see if it works with the SF2000 rom version. I wonder if it depends on the TV out setting NTSC or PAL. Some roms may depend on it?
For 7 dollars, i wouldn't complain in fact im actually in a bit of a shock that many games are very capable for that price range....its incredible the times that we are living in, a few years back it was a struggle to even get SNES games to run properly and devices that were capable were astronomical in price.... nowadays almost anything can run these systems, if you have at least 20 dollars and above you are almost guaranteed to run all of your old school systems its like a joke, and im an old school gamer of the 90s....
IKR, I was in shock with Game Sticks when they came to the market, and there are some that already can run Dreamcast and Sega Saturn. Great times for being a retro gamer.
Indeed great times we‘re living in here. Reviving video gaming childhood experiences was never easier and cheaper than today. And i even experience new games by it that i never played before :)
@@VitorFerreira-zu5sdCrazy isn‘t it? Who‘d imagine back in the days that we once plug a little stick (not bigger than a Amazon FireTV stick) into our TV and it is able to emulate various video game systems with tons of games. No need to keep a large collection of cartridges etc. I was a wet dream that cane true :D
@@MashTec if we had something like this when we were kids it would have been global news and our kid minds would have been shattered in million pieces, it's inconceivable and impossible 😂
@@valley_robot yes, GB and GBC is absolutely no problem. And it just looks like a small GameBoy Color with extra action buttons and a backlighted screen.
I actually heard some people where able to put an sf2000 screen on the gb300. It's on the retrohandheld discord. They had to esit some files and that was it. Would be cool to have a tutorial on how to properly edit and swap the screens.
Hey CaptainEseesE, yes i‘ve seen that too :) still, i‘m a bit afraid i‘d destroy one of my handhelds and currently i need them to make further videos for you. Still, I think about this for some time in the future. Thanks for your feedback and input 👍🏻
Grat video, and this thing is really amazing for the price, but I agree the sf2000 is better, for the reasons you mentioned and one additional important one: it supports external controllers (proprietari ones, that act like a sort of rf remote, no set up needed whatsoever! You press a button on the remote and it simply emulates via rf the press of the console button). It actually supports 2 of them, allowing me to play with my kid on the tv, got the complete bundle - console plus 2 controllers - for 18€ and its just a blast! Surely inferior to my other anbernic handheld, however the simplicity of olugging it on the tv and just play after 6 seconds boot time is amazing. I will add... Love your video closure of the video, "click thumbs down twice and share to your enemies", hilarious 😂
@@frankysour Hey Frank, thanks for your great feedback dude. You‘re right, i forgot about that remote controller support. A shame i didn‘t get that bundle too with the controllers. I play Super Mario Bros. on the NES with my son (5 years) on the one handheld. And yea, that startup time is unbeatable. Perfect to pick it up on the toilet for a quick game ;) welcome on board my friend
I just bought the console 5 days ago and it should arrive between today and tomorrow, it looks very good!! Could you try to make the console's main menu go a little more fluid?
Hi dude, this seems like a technical limitation. First the upper half if the display gets updated, then the lower half. The depending on the theme you have installed this effect can be more significant or being cloaked by the theme you choose. Performance wise i don‘t see much room for improvement here. So your theme selections is the best tip i can give you here.
Haha…very attentive! 👌🏻 Yes, i got my TrimUI Pro lying around here. I‘m experimenting with it, so maybe i can come up with a video for it as well. It‘s another great device for the price. Big screen, decent speed, premium buttons. All that in a PS Vita design for only $59. But i got so much more in the queue. I‘d live to make a video about my favorite of 2024 the RG35xx SP as well :) so much cool stuff, so less time.
Hi, just wanna ask if the sf2000 will perform better in gba or are they basically the same? I can get both for almost the same price ($11) and I can't decide which to get since i like the form factor of the gb300, but i heard that the sf2000 has better performance. Was the difference in performance really that much? I'll mostly just gonna play gba titles, thanks!
@@esumii5457 Hi esumii, actually both handhelds aren‘t performing too good on GBA. Still my personal feeling is that the SF2000 performs a little better than the GB300. If you want to decide between the two, go for the SF2000. The screen alone makes a big difference + you have a analog joystick. That would be my recommendation for you.
SF2000 is better, I think the firmware enables overclocking or frameskip or both and it makes certain games run better. For Pokemon and other slower titles, either will be fine (just remember to make save states, in game saves don't work!). However, if you want to play heavy action games like Sonic Advance, you'll want something more powerful. Maybe look into the Powkiddy V90, it somehow runs GBA very well despite being worse than the GB300/SF2000 at SNES. The V90 can be had for under $30 USD from Aliexpress and has a GBA SP formfactor to boot.
@@nunyabusiness896 If i was going to spend 20-30 bucks for a Powkiddy V90 would just get R36s. Not a huge fan of Powkiddy V90 battery right over the soc is main reason never picked one up.
I think he meant Euro or other currency. I got a GB300 for $12 shipped. Not perfect, but incredible at that price. My biggest complaint is it doesn't have the overclocking and/or frameskip the SF2000 has for SNES, so games run slow rather than just frameskipping and staying on pace. It's tolerable for most games, but the top 10% most demanding games will be frustratingly and noticeably slow or unplayable.
Hi Jordan, take a look at AliExpress (that‘s where i got mine from for $7). Just search for "GB300". From time to time the prices drop, than you can catch one.
Gba works fine, as long as you just play pokemon, fire emblem, advance war, golden sun, final fantasy .... make sure you run them in multicore...... im a proud gb300 user
Indeed, both a re great. Especially for that price. Good deal bro. These handhelds play in a different league compared to the GB300 or SF2000. But also in a different price range. It‘s always a trade off of what you like to spend and how much you get out of it for your needs ;)
@@MashTec yep it is but most of them under 10$ is e wast lol this one the gb300 is not thanks for showing this to us cool and cheep .the r36s/35xx-H play far more for the $ ps1/n64/psp/dream cast and the screen's on them crisp wifi/tv out 2 sds slots if you want do a review on them really hard to beat,,,,,, you got a new subscriber to day have a good one...

Indeed one of the best and active communities for a low cost handheld.
Great video MashTec!! Wow, $7 for a handheld that can play a decent selection of games is not bad at all. This would make a great stocking stuffer.
Hey Jon ✌🏻 great idea 😃 it fits perfect into a sock and you could actually keep it as a cover to prevent it from taking scratches on the screen 😂

hoping for neogeo pocket / color and wonderswan to be added too
Hi Paul, for wonderswan i‘ve seen a core being available for Multicore. So maybe it can get activated for the device in the near future.
