Help! - Is there an alternate d-pad or fix, because there's unintended input commands with the GKDmini! Pressing "down" on the d-pad even slightly towards "forward", but without touching it, will result in a "down-forward" input, same happens with "down" and "back" but the d-pad must be leaned a bit more, but again it's still far from my thumb touching "back" portion of the button. This is confirmed by the button tester app.

Nice review! Thank you for sharing. I've subbed also. Take care

[@dogandcattvshow]

Thank you for the support, cheers and stay safe as well.

do you prefer this form factor (like old-school DMG Gameboy) or the wider GKD350H form factor (like 1st GBA)? interesting what you say about how it is much larger than 280V... would have loved to see a comparison!

[@dogandcattvshow]

Thanks for watching, is not bad but the size is not i prefer, i more prefer if this console is just like rg280v or ldk size, if this is smaller definitely iabmy first choice compare with gkd350h but since that is not so

Nice video! How much ram does it have?

[@dogandcattvshow]

Emm. I need to check no idea

[@MrCumstein]

I read somewhere that it had 128MB.

[@dogandcattvshow]

@@MrCumstein thank

I have a gkd mini. I love it. The only downside is the screen. Is there a way I can put a 640×480 in this handheld? Thanks in advance!

[@dogandcattvshow]

If able to configure the display driver than can but so far…..

[@jaredrogers4466]

Did they do anything to improve the GBA and SNES performance?

[@dogandcattvshow]

yes, keep improving

[@eternaya]

can it boot without battery?

[@cs9927]

Is the firmware same as RG280V?

[@dogandcattvshow]

no

[@greedfox7842]

specifications state 128mb ram, that seems really weak by comparison to many of the other handhelds available right now, the rg351p states 1Gb, the RK2020 same 1gb, and even the LDK has 512mb. I don't feel like it will have the power for a lot of the games most people will want to play on it.

[@JoeyBag-O-Doughnuts]

its about the vertical form factor, and not ram... the RG280V had 512mb, but couldn't do CPS3 & all PS1, but this GKDmini can, as its same chip predecessor the GKD-350H could. It's really just a form factor change from the GKD-350H (which was a leader of 2019) but a change I was looking for. Most of what you listed isn't portrait mode, and the vertical LDK can't do what this can. People looking for vertical handhelds with: N64/PSP/DC ability, need to look to the much less pocket-able: RG351V, RGB20, or PiBoy DMG

> I don't feel like it will have the power for a lot of the games most people will want to play on it. LOL even its ancient predecessor (GKD350H) can play the most demanding PS1 games (eg Bloody Roar). rg351 lines can't even play CPS3 with current state :) more popular != best performance/playability
