    I feel like every few months we get a brand new handheld that's hailed as the best thing. It's tough on consumers lol

    • @CrawlingPanther
      @CrawlingPanther 9 месяцев назад +1

      Some of these look pretty cool but the PSP is still a really great emulation handheld and you can get them for pretty cheap, all things considered. I do like the look of the one in the video though. Looks pretty comfortable.

  • @GamersReckoning
    @GamersReckoning 10 месяцев назад +7

    Got the clear black and love it! Some Dreamcast games like DOA2 don't run great but there a ton of them that do run great. The ergonomics are so good and feels just like an old Saturn controller imo. Love it! Fighters are amazeballz on it!

    The extra ram is only for android os itself, it doesn’t help emulation

    • @pwnswoggle
      @pwnswoggle 10 месяцев назад +8

      ​@jamesforward6965 it's a fact that it doesn't though, it's been tested and proven and also commented on by the emu developers. As much as I like madlittlepixel that's the problem with a lot of his reviews, he just says stuff that he assumes and then people buy that stuff based on what he's said.

    • @pwnswoggle
      @pwnswoggle 10 месяцев назад +4

      @jamesforward6965 sorry I completely misunderstood your first comment, that's my bad. It's the cpu that's mostly holding it back so the extra ram in linux doesn't help much but a lot of the emus just run better anyway because they're just optimized better. For this specific handheld, the extra ram is literally only for the android os itself.

    2gb RAM or higher should be the standard on these devices in 2024. They keep reusing the same chips on these handhelds under a different name.

    Great for Sega Genesis, Master System, arcade games and fighting games but will be iffy with 3D games as there are no analog sticks. If I get the ARC-D it would only be for more powerful stuff like Dreamcast, N64, PS1, PSP, DOS, and Saturn, if I get the ARC-S then it'll be for anything PS1 or weaker such a Sega Genesis, Super NES, NeoGeo, 3DO, Atari 2600, NES, SMS, Sega CD, Sega 32X, Neo Geo Pocket Color, Game Boy, GBC, GBA, Game Gear, Lynx, Intellivision, Atari Jaguar, Atari 5200, Atari 7800, etc..

    @mr.selfimprovement3241 8 месяцев назад

    Definitely going to be buying one of these when I can. Anbernic has been my go to chinese handheld for a while now (many years) and this one looks to be a good replacement for my last. I love my multi 8bitdo M30 controllers (so good, I had to buy more, lol), and this looks like it will have the 'feels' in my hand that I'm looking for! Shame the Clear Blue (the one I want) doesn't come in the model with android and more ram. Pop one of these and my analogue pocket in a bag (with maybe a switch lite) - and I'm set for whatever the world brings wherever I go. 🤟

    I ordered mine 3 days ago in Aliexpress. I went for the transparent black (just linux system). I love fighting games so I think this is the one. And 4 inch screen I think is the perfect size for a retro handheld.

  • @mattdavis9601
    @mattdavis9601 10 месяцев назад +1

    An interesting video. I pretty much said everything I wanted to say about the Arc in the comments of the Arc D video. TL; DR: I love the controls and Sega-ness of it. I just wish it had a little more power; and maybe an analog input for Dreamcast and those Saturn games that supported the 3D controller.
    I checked out Go Game Geek after this video wrapped. Their storefront is very professional looking. Pricing is a bit higher than ordering it from the factory; but, I presume you're getting faster shipping and better customer service if needed. Has anyone ordered from them; and if so, did everything go well?

    It sure is tantalizing to have a handheld already setup rocking what looks like quality emulation of Dreamcast/Naomi/Atomis/Saturn all in one. (As well as the other cores). PSP emulation there reminds me of the performance on PS classic; choppy, not very optimized.

    I've actually got a collection of these types of systems going.
    I got the Ambernic 405m, the 353p, 353ps, Gameboy style versions. Some have different ROMs on board. But none have some of theunusual titles I was looking for...Like BUG 🪲🐛 and BUG Too 🪲🐛 on 🪐 Saturn, or Rollaway 🏀 on PS1 (old staple household games) or Saturn 🪐 Pinball (Gladiator) Tempest 2000...I'd come from work on a Friday and find my Brothers and my Dad both playing SNES Mario 3, F Zero, PS1 RollAway 🏀, SS Pinball, Tempest 2000 into thr late night early morning. Until the game 🎮 consoles were slags of molten plastic in the entertainment center!!!! 😂 Those were the days....PC gaming and a LAN ruined that... Especially when Command and Conquer series showed up...One night, I destroyed my dad's aspersions as elite general and curb 🦶 stomped his army 🪖🎖️ into the afterlife ☠️💀! Unfortunately my dad felt less like playing 2 player games after that competitive run... 😢 😂

    Hey bro does either model work well connected to a TV and bluetooth controllers? I really just want a portable device to play my fighting games, big ones are MvsC2, Third strike, you know the saturn , naomi and dreamcast stuff pretty much. I have a retroid pocket 2 and a steamdeck but on the retroid bluetooth controllers dont work while using retroid os and on steamdeck using emulation station or whatever it's just a nightmare for me to get the button mappings to work like they should in the arcades and home gamepads. If either of these devices work well with like an 8bit do M30 and a nice front end emulator OS connected to a TV that's all I really want!

    Imo it has great everything but the dpad is not so good as it seems. I screw up simple turbo combos because its so flawed. Gra ted i prefer joystick above all but played also on Saturn the collection i can do them no problem there even sorry if you dont agree but the dpad to me isnt as good as it looks.

    I'm not sure how "cheap" this handheld is. It's actually one of the more expensive ones.
    As for the difference in resources (ram, processor, etc) between the D and S, the additional resources on the D are only available when booting to Android. When booting to Linux on the D, you're limited to the same resources as the S.
    Finally, that OS is not stock. I got the D from Anbernic when it first came out, and the OS that came with it looks nothing like the one in this video. It's like the version in the video has a different default theme.
