My emulators are better than that jinxy playstore shit.I downloaded mines years ago.Then they were kicked off of playstore. Alot of the good ones moved on to giving shitty updates.But I backed up all the good stuff before it all went to hell.
Is retrogame300.com a safe store? Like, it's not a scam and my bank card infos won't be stolen or something? I honestly have doubts because we can't create accounts on this website...
Thank you Taki Udon for telling us about the ROMs they are packaged with. I was once in Singapore where a chiness lady was selling an "NES classic" clone with *600* in 1 built into it, and I think also that half of them, *300* were "fake" Roms. Thank you once again, Taki Udon, for clarifying. This makes me *more likely* to purchase Pocket Go -OR- Pow Kiddy
A lot of devices have too many roms imo. A smaller selection of good games rather than 100's of crap games and duplicates would actually be a selling point.
Mhhh I’m happy that I choose the pocket go 2 for the same price! 50 Dollar is to much for this! For 30 Dollars this handheld would be a great choice but not for 50! Thank you for the great review:)
In what world would you ever want rear-facing speakers on a handheld? "I want the sound to blast directly away from my face and muffled into my hands, so I actually can't hear shit!" It's like 0 thought went into the practicality of this device.
The original pocket go has an unrivaled design. It's just so pleasing to the eye, with the curves reminiscent of the gameboy lineup. If only it ran as well as the LDK...
@@gustavgunz1877 No, I don't, but since my pocket go still suffer a little of screen tearing even after the new firmware release I came to the conclusion the ldk is a little better.
@@gustavgunz1877 It does indeed run well and I'm fond of it. But tearscreen is an issue nontheless and I wish the graphic drivers were as good as other similar devices. I'm sorry if it wasn't clear.
I wish I would have discovered this channel before I made the decision to get a digi retro boy. The channel I followed up till recently gave glowing reviews to that and this product. They avoided talking about the problems you mentioned and showcased only the games that worked. Kinda sucks that you have to becareful with content creators reviews now. Learned my lesson
Wow.. that was bad for the high price point! I am looking forward to reciving my New PocketGO in the mail. Cant wait to try a gen.2 device. Loved the original PocketGO.
I have the Switch Lite. I'm loving it. I leave the original switch at home. I thought that save syncing was going to be a pain but I was wrong. I also like the build quality. I only thing I really REALLY dislike is the fact that you can't use Bluetooth headphones out if the box. If you have any question, feel free to ask. BTW, I got mine on sale for around $130 usd. I think that's a fair price for the device.
I've never understood these companies packing their devices with rom hacks. You can download a complete NES rom set, over one thousand games, and it is under 150mb in size. Why is 'Mario 14' on these devices given they clearly don't give a damn about copyright.
For me Powkiddy had a good name. It was cheap fun and not too bad build materials that could emulate a few things well. Now, well they are just throwing anything out there aren't they? I mean it's sad. I had warned them before in several messages to them that they need to up their quality and their partners on the quality. I guess no one listened to me.
I buy one for about 20$ (i had a coupon code) and get a bunch of other low quality products also. Waiting for it to be shipped. Hope the custom firmware make it worth
Hello! Is this q90 almost identical to the v90 mini console? The OS and the screen are the same, the form factor is the difference, and this one has an analog stick... I found it at 27€
@@DJDanceClassic Although it's extremly rare. Chinese manufacturers will upgrade their products with better firmware from time to time. You probably got lucky.
If you’re willing to fork out some money, buy a Nintendo DS and run home brew or buy a used PSP. If you want an emulation device, then buy the Pocket Go 2. If you want a high quality emulation device, buy the Retroid Pocket 2.
I dont know if this is a weird question but can you tell me how to turn the volume down on it I cant figure out those options and instructions are in japanese thanks!
Yo Taki, help a brother out, I know about the other issues but is there any way of rotating the arcade shmups screen because a lot or them are sideways and there's no setting options to rotate? Help! Lol, greetings from Dublin Ireland 💚🇮🇪🍀, on my pocketgo 2 I have the option, soo.....
Hi. Sorry this isn’t related to this particular device, but I figured you don’t get notice on older videos. Thanks for always making amazing videos! So I got my retrogame 350 a while ago and absolutely love it! Today Pocket Go 2 arrived too! Can I use the same sd card for both devices? You mention you do that for some of your videos. As a second sd card I mean. Also can I switch sd cards in devices and have nothing get broken? So if I pop in my huge sd card for RG350 into PG2 and then later pop in another sd card with other saves om would that break it? Thanks again!
Basically, they dont sell cheap handheld, they just try to send "plastics waste" out of their country, so that they keep launching another new products 😁
Hi Good day, I've been watching your videos about the Pocketgo 2 so I decided to buy one, I just received it but it won't power on or charge after only working for about 5 mins, can you help me? Thanks
I was thinking of buying this device for review since the price has dropped to 30-40 here in US. It’s it still worth it? Or, I should I wait for new stuff to come out? Ive had some bad eggs (units) already come through and it was very disappointing --so I don’t want anymore of those. Great video by the way :) - cheers!! - BAN.
nice I got this a few months ago for £23 - You can overclock it to 900hrz on the version i have. only issue for me is cant play all ps1 games like metal gear solid 1. It plays all ps resident evil games, spiro the dragon and gba stuff with it overclocked. for 23 quid its ok. Also got one for my son to play gba/spiro game. for 23 its good would not buy it for £50
I don't have a Q90, but I will order one. Probably never turn it on... just toss it in the drawer. It's under $50; I mean my gas tank took $86 yesterday... and wasn't empty.
I got a little game handheld like this and feel happy with my purchase, even though I've been playing "Zelda and the minish Cap" on the GBA emulator and unfortunately I can't properly save the game, did someone have the same problem?.. could someone help or give me Tips? I thank you all in advance! ✌️😁
I watched 2 reviews and bought this last nigh from powkiddyt, now that I watched this review I'm looking for a cancel order button but can't find one 😭
My dream device for 2020 would be this; - A body of the PlayGo with the same look and form factor (all black body) with NO branding on the front and minimal bezels. Same 3.5 inch IPS screen and button layout of the Play GO. Same replaceable Xiaomi battery. - Analog stick from either the RG350 or the Retro CM3 (PS Vita stick), D-pad from the PSP or RG350 and same face buttons as the RG350. - A CPU clocked at 1.5-2ghz capable of full speed CPS3, PS1 and N64 emulation with no frameskip - Have it priced at $100-120. Maybe make an all black aluminum black limited version for $180. I'd buy that day one.
That's not trash, but for few bucks more you can have better. It would have about a year ago, since it has 2 buttons more and a better shape than the landscape LDK, for example.

I remember how everyone was fangirling about this device and calling it the switch lite mini and stuff.
Am I missing something? The bezel on this is huge and makes the screen actually smaller than the pocket go.
This whole device is an out-of-season April fool's joke

It actually depends on how you're holding devices like this. Your hands can actually guide the sound towards you.
They probably bought cheap speakers they couldn't fit anywhere else.

> screen tearing
hmm
any chance to see input lag test/comparison?
Hi Taki, great video, would you mind telling us the rom alternating colors to test screen tearing please?
I have the pocketgo one and no lagging in gba and ps1. No frame skip needed
Taki You make best review !!
Love the videos I see this for sale at $30 now.
The consoles actually pretty good now due to the new firmware updates and miyoo
I buy one for about 20$ (i had a coupon code) and get a bunch of other low quality products also. Waiting for it to be shipped. Hope the custom firmware make it worth
Good video. But I have no idea which devices are gen 1 or gen 2 (or gen 3?). Maybe a timeline of the most popular releases would be useful.
Did have this on my radar watched your review and now I don't so job done. Cheers Taki
Thanks for the info!

@@DJDanceClassic Agreed although I do like my RG350 as well.
What is a better alternative if I just want to play GBA and SNES games?
A psp if you spending 50.00 on this you can find one on offer up for about that price if not less
If you’re willing to fork out some money, buy a Nintendo DS and run home brew or buy a used PSP. If you want an emulation device, then buy the Pocket Go 2. If you want a high quality emulation device, buy the Retroid Pocket 2.
The Pocketgo 1 is $35 and popular, the FC3000 is even cheaper. For like $15 bucks u can roll the ebay dice, which is kinda fun.
Looks like mini swich lite
hi Taki, will u review the upcoming odroid go advance?
I dont know if this is a weird question but can you tell me how to turn the volume down on it I cant figure out those options and instructions are in japanese thanks!
looks like that 8bitdo switch controller but with a screen
Nice vidéo as always.
Btw that tearing test is built in Gambatte or is that a rom file ?
Rom file
I ordered a clear one for 41 cause I couldn’t find a pocketgo for less than 50 also got an rg350 on the way super impatient
The Neo Geo Pocket/color work ? this emulator did not exist on Bittboy/PocketGO1.
Super Mario 14 is my favorite retro game.
I think they really perfected the franchise at Super Mario 15
To be honest super Mario 17 is the real one

Yes, what you describe is exactly what I do to test all my devices. Nothing will be ruined
Thank you!!! ^^
You just saved me money
Can you say if you buy this Can it come to denmark?
Both this and the LDK have better looks than the new handhelds.
What is the GBA emulator used in this counterfeit LDK / Pocketgo / Switch Lite?
Hey, boss, how do you activate the screen tearing test? Is that built in program or did you place it there? Can I do that to RG350?
No need to do it, that device doesn't have screen tearing.
where is the cheap pocket go 1?
Would be curious to know if they ever fix the tearing.
They claim the firmware update fixes it slightly. There are also update videos out there showing the difference.
Is the firmware installed on the included tf card? If so I can't just pop my preloaded tf card of roms in instead?
u can copy the firmware to 64gb
Does it run GBA and GBC smooth with no frame skip?
Me need it where can I get one taki
Basically, they dont sell cheap handheld, they just try to send "plastics waste" out of their country, so that they keep launching another new products 😁
Hi taki, do you know how to adjust the screen brightness?
Any news on new Q400 handheld from China?
Would anyone be interested in a South Korean Caanoo? I feel it's time I buy a more "recent" retro handheld console.

What are other good choices?
Hej Taki, does this one have 60Hz screen or?
Can we record the screen? How?
Which IS MORE HIGH END SPEC
THE RGB10 or Q90
nice I got this a few months ago for £23 - You can overclock it to 900hrz on the version i have. only issue for me is cant play all ps1 games like metal gear solid 1. It plays all ps resident evil games, spiro the dragon and gba stuff with it overclocked. for 23 quid its ok. Also got one for my son to play gba/spiro game. for 23 its good would not buy it for £50
In the end, the handheld is expensive and has a low quality. I'll pass it!
I should have seen this before I purchased it ! 😢
Went down to 30 bucks. Ended up ordering one.
I already buy an LDK landscape, which is better LDK landscape or powkiddy Q90
I answered that in the video 😂
They forced a PocketGo and an LDK Landscape to breed.
My Pocket Go has an option to overclock the CPU to 900mhz so technically, the q90 will preform worse.
Emulate WondeSwan Color ?
I don't have a Q90, but I will order one. Probably never turn it on... just toss it in the drawer. It's under $50; I mean my gas tank took $86 yesterday... and wasn't empty.
Can you just Copy paste all the files from the 16g if i want to upgrade it to 64g sdcard???
yup
I got a little game handheld like this and feel happy with my purchase, even though I've been playing "Zelda and the minish Cap" on the GBA emulator and unfortunately I can't properly save the game, did someone have the same problem?.. could someone help or give me Tips?

Since this review is almost a year old, is the video driver better now?
Will this play Doom perfectly or should I look at the RG351P?
You should look at the rg351p no matter what.

Hell ya
Can this handle full speed SNES, GBA, CPS2 with no frame skip? If so, than this is my device. Also, can it handle 2D Ps1 games?
You'll need frameskip for SNES and GBA. 2D PS1 games are fine
That's not trash, but for few bucks more you can have better. It would have about a year ago, since it has 2 buttons more and a better shape than the landscape LDK, for example.
Does it play mame?
I there a yellow version?
Just blue and transparent
60 fps screen?
With as much as they cloned from the LDK, why not just clone the parts from the LDK that worked compared to the pocket go!
Too much logic in this statement
They should be moving forward, not backwards.
Well that is a pointless thing. I wonder what they were thinking. Probably "looks like Switch, sells like Switch."
I've come to discover that they depend on yt reviewers to give them the leg up and trick a few people into buying this crap. I was one of them.
@@LogicProphet I like collecting Chinese junk. Every so often, you get something really good.
Just grabbed one for 34 dollars. Anbernic can shove it with their 100 dollar units when all I want is to be able to play NES and Genesis.
anything with scren stearing is trash, aslo doesnt look like an IPS panel neither right?
The packaging states that it is, but I don't believe that it is. It just looks like a TF display with good angles.
@@DJDanceClassic it's impossible for there to not be screen tearing...
@@DJDanceClassic This is not how you check screen tearing

I'll pass. Hey where is your review of the new super retro with new d-pad?

Hey writing to anyone who has tested this system, can it play PSP games too ?
Nope
I think my 6 year old son should be just fine with this one…
*WOW* that thing looks cheap, though I do like the finish
It's only 30$ so I would buy it
No PS1=no deal. Why take this over an rg350/gk350?
The RG350 will take a dump all over the q90. Better quality, better screen, more power and way more support.
Christian Dyers definitely, Anbernic isn’t joking around like some other manufacturers
Switch Nano
Do it play Pokémon tho
