A Portal and a PC handheld is the best approach imo. I love the first party integrated software experience of the Portal as well as its controller. You're not getting that from the Abxylute. Also, my Ally X can be used while at my local park, on a plane, in a train and remote to a more powerful device. The Abxylute is cool if you can't justify a $700+ device. Though, the original Ally can be found for a very accessible price point these days, especially in the second hand market.

@@AgentZeroNine1 great points for sure!

Something tells me if you change to a standalone N64 app or change the GPU settings in retroarch you could get better performance, try it on the RICE setting. It's GREAT for a streaming device, don't need much power and that's all it really needs. Great review. ^_^

[@Restalgia]

@@KyleRuggles I was playing around with both the mupen64 stand alone and different cores in RA but it wasn't great performance across the board unfortunately

[@KyleRuggles]

@@Restalgia Damn... thanks for letting me know. Oh well! Still great for Streaming.

[@ronm6585]

Thanks Restalgia. Cheers.

@@ronm6585 thanks Ron!

[@thumpersquid]

I miss you on Super GaameRoom Dudes. Great video!

@@thumpersquid thanks man

[@GRIMEYtheFATMAN]

If these streaming handhelds featured trigger haptics (because they're for steaming from consoles that feature that), that MIGHT help justify the price, but even then, it's a tough sell because devices like the RG556 and RP4pro exist, which can do the same as this for the same or less money, while also handling higher-end emulation and native Android gaming, plus key mapping, IIRC...

[@Restalgia]

@@GRIMEYtheFATMAN that's a fair point. The biggest difference I guess is the screen size but like you said, the Rg556 is decent at 5.5" too and it can handle more on the emulation side.

[@gregorybolivar5712]

Great video / Lots of info .. However... Both of those Handhelds do need some Spec Buff... At least the Snapdragon 865... 8gb ram / 128gb internal storage or 256gb +... A cooling fan system... To be more relevant... For now a day... 🤔😎🧐

[@Restalgia]

@@gregorybolivar5712 I agree. This device has been on the market for a while now, so a beefed up revision would be welcome.

[@MIRZA-x5f]

Bro you say me just one thing that we have to download games by purchasing them in Xbox game pass and PlayStation an absolute gaming handled

[@ninaknox1993]

Question: is this good for a beginner to gaming who has no console at all but wants a handheld one??

[@Restalgia]

No I don't think so. Unless that person has an extensive Steam library, this is probably not the way to go. This product is a great addition to someone who does lots of new generation console and PC gaming by streaming their games to the handheld.

[@ninaknox1993]

@Restalgia ok thank you 😊

[@Robots0verHumans]

The PS Portal is not even a handheld console. Just an external (wireless) screen with controller 😅

[@Restalgia]

@@Robots0verHumans agreed, and with the third party ps play app, you can get full 1080p resolution and it's great.

[@sivapetit1]

Can we stream PS4 without internet

[@Restalgia]

@@sivapetit1 no you would need your ps4 connected to a network.
