Precise and clear explanation - I just ordered, Thanks!

What do you think about it??

Ello moto

[@thomasimbeault22]

Just ordered 20 000 pirated games😒😒

[@deconstructingnarcissism3062]

Man I'm so excited for this!!! I've ALWAYS wanted to go back and play all the old games I used to play on playstation, psp, gameboy color, and gameboy advance but I found the prices to buy the systems and games to be insane!! I found this device for only $30 and that was with the oled screen option can't wait until it comes!!!

[@briceabrams2000]

Where did you manage to find it for only $30? The cheapest I can find it is like 70 bucks.

Liar

[@codygibson1732]

I remember super smash bros on 64 I remember the anticipation as everything was lagging frame to frame, it was slow and amazing. I wonder if ita working as intended, gta shouldn't lag that much but apparently the re-release does.

[@Manoosdogg]

U need memory card to run smooth no?

[@Forrest-K]

My wife surprised me with one of these for Christmas. So far it works very well, except some of the N64 games lag a little bit. But all of the Game Boy or Sega games I've tried so far have been working perfectly. Mine included a 128gb micro SD card, so the size of the card you get will probably factor into how many games you get out of the box.

[@apart-timeastronaut6530]

Does it come ready to use or do you have to load games into it

[@mploco183]

Can u save ur game progress

[@Forrest-K]

@@apart-timeastronaut6530 Yes, it has thousands of games ready to paly out of the box. It took me a few minutes to figure out how to power it on for the first time, but once it's on it's ready to paly! I've heard you can download more, I'm personally not sure how yet.

[@Forrest-K]

@@mploco183 Yes, it has save states so you can store multiple save files for one game. So far the games I've gone back to have saved my progress the same way it would have on a Game Boy.

Does it have bond?

Very tempted to get one of these I like that it has loads of pre installed games and two joysticks are nice pretty good triggers as well. Also really like you can change the theme of the emulator screen makes it so you can custom change it to what you prefer

Even with its shortcuts. It is still something one can enjoy..😁😁😁👍👍👍❤❤..thanks chigz..

[@Rednblack900]

lol half of the games dont work good

[@INYOMIND]

I have one on the way, it’s my first emulator 🥲. All I wanna play are mainly GBA, DS and some PS1 games so I hope it works well!! At least decently lmao

[@2k6lee]

Ps1 games run fine in my experience. I overclocked the ps1 cpu/gpu(unsure which one it was)in the emulator settings when I had a ps1 game open and it made any ps1 games played after, run smoothly. The weird kinda issue is that n64 games don’t seem to run smoothly and there’s no overclock option on the emulator settings. I’m unsure if the n64 was just a more demanding console than the ps1 (I didn’t think so but am unsure). You’ll enjoy the console for anything below that generation, gbc/gba/neo geo/snes/genesis/arcade and so on. Don’t even try to attempt Dreamcast because it’s more or less a waste of time sadly.

[@jdos5643]

Does anyone know how to change the video quality on powkiddy? Also brightness?

[@jdos5643]

So the Nintendo 3ds advanced works but the screen goes black you can move cursor and then try to pres the back buttons R or L then the screen will go on. You have to play with it a little for it to work

[@shaf19]

@@jdos5643 not sure about changing the quality but for brightness, press and hold right analog stick and at the same time, press up or down dpad button to adjust brightness

[@crackerjackrappr]

Could use your phone, even a really shitty laptop.

[@johngungaming749]

The controller layout seems impractical, same goes to the shoulder buttons. It would be great if they make similar to the Vita with L2 /R2 and L3/R3.

[@Theoryof.D.RamenPirate]

but for the orientation, this works pretty well, i mean most game here except from dreamcast have only single shoulder buttons

I love this console so much for my Arcade, GB, GBC, GBA & SNES games ❤

[@Salvaje_TTV]

do you recommend this console?

[@braun7413]

@@Salvaje_TTV for sure. Great console for the price, the emulation is great, awesome screen, comfortable in hands, good customization possibilities in the base software... and if you have your own roms library, it's easy to rearrange/make libraries directly in the RGB. But if you don't, it already comes with good roms in it. (i also love to watch movies on it when i'm travelling 🤫)

They don't have to have the Wi-Fi but I would like this game handheld game console to be more bigger work out little kinks a bigger screen display and I think it would be perfect for Retro Gaming oh yeah and make a way for some of the games to run faster when in gameplay such as PSP Dreamcast yall know what I mean and fix the game lags for for the gaming performance

[@liveitwisely]

Seriously considering getting one of these, mainly to play the Pokémon DS games, but is there any way of ensuring all the games are on it that I want before buying? And if not, is there a way of adding more games to it after purchase? Thanks!

[@Forrest-K]

I just got one for Christmas. The DS selection is a bit limited compared to the other systems, (I assume because without the use of the touch screen, some games would be difficult to replicate,) I don't recall seeing any DS Pokemon games listed out of the box. However, I have heard that you can download more games into the Powkiddy. It does include virtually every Pokemon game from the Game Boy Classic, Color, and Advanced.

[@liveitwisely]

@@Forrest-K hmm, the DS ones are what I’m after. There was a couple of options that I could see when buying, one with about 25000 games and one with about 15000. Might send an email to powkiddy and ask them to confirm.

[@finnwydd]

@@liveitwisely if you do please let me know as I want to play pokemon ds games as well.

[@spicesmuggler2452]

Just get a 3ds and crack it. Games will run natively and you wont spend much more money

What is the alternative? I heard "burnik" or something mentioned in the video if you want something better. But I'm not sure if I'm writing it correctly.
