Back again with another retro handheld game console and this one is from Powkiddy. This one is suitable for emulating games up to the PS1 and considered to be Powkiddy's answer to the Anbernic RG351P/M as it runs the same chipset. Like other handhelds this has custom firmware support for ArkOS.

Featuring a 3.5" OCA 640x480 display, the usual buttons including dual joysticks and shoulder buttons, 2 USB-C ports for charging/OTG, 2 microSD card slots, 3.5mm audio jack, inbuilt speaker and a 3500mAh battery with over 5 hours of playtime

    Dang this is an adorable case

    • Mugsy on 20/05/2023 - 19:12

      Yeah, there's accompanying stickers of various animal faces you can stick to the center where those 3 buttons look like eyes and a mouth.

      I've been following these things for a while… it's quite amazing what they can emulate on such portable devices.

      Of course, it's hard for me to consider getting one… the $40 PSP Street I got many years ago runs everything I want.

      That face cannot be unseen!

  • figarow on 20/05/2023 - 19:17

    Not good with PSP / N64. Is this across the board or because of the 1GB Ram on this unit?

      It's more because of the CPU used. PSP and N64 games are harder to emulate than 3D PS1 games. Something like the Anbernic RG353V has a better chipset and will handle them better.

  • ChipsChicky on 20/05/2023 - 19:20

    Seems good, from where do you get all these games shown in in the video, like street fighter? Are they inbuilt?

    What are your thoughts on this one:

    https://www.geekbuying.com/item/POWKIDDY-X45-Handheld-Game-C…

    I like the form factor but I dont know how it compares to the OP

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 20/05/2023 - 19:40

      It won't handle 3D PS1 games so it's more suitable for platforms like Gameboy, NES and Sega Genesis etc.

    • Kangal on 21/05/2023 - 07:30

      That one is really old, and has quality issues.
      Look for their new devices.

      The prices will be (significantly) higher. But honestly it's better to have only 1-2 great devices, rather than 3-4 mediocre or bad ones. It's also more environmentally friendly, as you're limiting eWaste.

    Loving these retro handheld deals - just wanted to say thank you for introducing the scene to me

    • zaprct on 20/05/2023 - 21:30

      Check out Retro Game Corps on Youtube if you're getting sucked down the rabbithole like I did (my collection of these devices is shameful)

      • voldemort on 21/05/2023 - 13:13

        What is your recommended device? This would be my first

        • zaprct on 22/05/2023 - 07:11

          Depends what systems you play most of. I think best all-rounder would be the Retroid Pocket 3+ (or Flip if you prefer clamshell, same internals), or the Anbernic RG405M if you play mostly 4:3 content. These devices can play up to Dreamcast, N64 and PSP well, with a handful of Gamecube with tinkering.

          If you really want Gamecube and some PS2, Odin Lite is a decent choice. My current preference is the Steam Deck since it handles everything up to PS2 easily using EmuDeck which gets lots of support and frequent updates. But I still like more portable devices like the above for on-the-go gaming or when I don't feel like playing on a big heavy slab :)

          If you want something super portable, the Miyoo Mini+ or Anbernic RG35XX are currently top picks

    • AssociatedClear @ Geekbuying on 20/05/2023 - 22:05

      No worries… I take requests 😉

      Admittedly it's becoming an addiction for me too.

  • CyberMurning on 20/05/2023 - 20:46

    Why 2 sc card slots? Can we use both to store the game roms?

    • impoze on 20/05/2023 - 21:40
      +2

      you can run single or double

      having just the OS on first slot is handy for flashing since you don't have to worry about reloading games when formatting

  • CyberMurning on 20/05/2023 - 21:00

    Would ps vita better if we want to emulate things? Or dedicated one like this?

    • Odin on 20/05/2023 - 21:11

      Vita is in another league

      • CyberMurning on 20/05/2023 - 21:51

        Even when comparing with high end anbernic? That one over aud 200.. 353v or something

        Ok then will just wait for vita go down in price.

        • Orion au on 20/05/2023 - 22:04

          The higher end models are much better than the Vita for emulation. The 353v will play a wider range, including Saturn, Dreamcast and better N64 performance.

  • tejsidhu on 20/05/2023 - 21:06

    Sorry for the noob question, but do you have to buy games? or they come inbuild into the console?

    • jamba on 20/05/2023 - 21:14

      Poster "thecloudking" above answered your question

  • impoze on 20/05/2023 - 21:40

    have retroid pocket 3+ and the RG35xx from previous deal.
    I think the next would be a flip SP style. Hopefully we get some deals on the upcoming devices.

      if you're considering miyoo mini+, consider the RG35xx deal

      • P.Sherman on 20/05/2023 - 23:22
        +2

        Not sure if there's still supply issues with Miyoo Mini+ but I've been trying to decide which one of these things I should get for a while now. I still haven't decided because new products come on, rebrands happen, different form factors, varying pricing to make my head explode. Not to mention /r/EmulationOnAndroid is a thing.

        It's getting to the point I might just get a Steam Deck, slap CoinOps and be done with life

        Also for @8at8 maybe check this comparison out: https://retroabxy.com/anbernic-rg35xx-vs-miyoo-mini-plus/

        I'd like to emulate up to Switch but thats proving difficult.

        • impoze on 20/05/2023 - 23:43
          +2

          Switch you'll want Steamdeck or ROG Ally

          • P.Sherman on 20/05/2023 - 23:45

            @impoze: Ahh yes, a new contender. Nice!

            @impoze: Linus of LTT has implied he plays Switch games on his Steamdeck.

            I’d get a steamdeck if it was officially sold here, but for is asked for them grey market, it makes the ROG Ally more appealing. Haven’t decided what to get myself…

      • 8at8 on 21/05/2023 - 19:34

      They are similar. MMP has Wifi, like the RGB20S. Personally I like my MMP.

      The RG3xx doesn’t have WiFi: https://www.reddit.com/r/SBCGaming/comments/10szxjh/rg35xx_o…

      • impoze on 20/05/2023 - 23:44

        No wifi but not highly useful besides retro achievements

      I've got the Miyoo mini and the RG35xx, and much prefer the Miyoo mini fwiw.
      Haven't tried the RGB20S

    • Fullhalter on 21/05/2023 - 17:52

        GarlicOS is pretty solid on the RG35xx

        • Fullhalter on 21/05/2023 - 18:26

          Garlic is more than decent, but Onion's retroarch customisation goes a lot deeper under the hood…

          • Fullhalter on 22/05/2023 - 23:05

            @Fullhalter: …which makes a difference, that's why I got negged

              @Fullhalter: I didn't neg, which consoles has better performance on Onion?

              Black Seraph is pretty active on the development so hopefully he'll also bring across the same retroarch customisation

              • Fullhalter on 23/05/2023 - 18:20

                @impoze: I know. Thanks for the leg up. As you've said elsewhere it depends what console you got 35xx or miyoo, correspondingly garlic or onion. No versus here. Amazingly onion is only beta on mmp, but it is stable (almost final) on the mm.

                He's doing an awesome job on catching up, I wouldn't worry… Rg35xx for $86 is a great bargain

    • impoze on 21/05/2023 - 13:24

      Plenty of comparison videos, comes down to preference, price and availability

      • RocketSwitch on 21/05/2023 - 13:32

          They essentially both run the same emulators, and both have great CFW with GarlicOS and OnionOS

          Been living the auto save states/resume on the RG35XX, makes it much more easier for casual gaming with kids

          • RocketSwitch on 21/05/2023 - 17:23

            @impoze: RG35XX also has great visuals without having to play around like the Mini.
