I don't have a Poobiedoop, but I finally ordered a Zazzbizzle when it went on sale for $51. So in a couple weeks I should be able to zazz and bizz to my heart's content while I sit on the poopiedoop throne. Good times.

I'm also one with a Zazzbizzle coming soon! Was able to snag a coupon on AliExpress and bought it for around $49. Insane price but really on the limit for me, as Brazilian import taxes above $50 are bonkers lately. Can't wait to zazz a lot with it :) also I might be installing muOS, it's light and simple enough but not too simple as MinUI :)

[@bademoderndesigns5962]

Recessed joycon style thumbsticks are great for arcade fighting games due to it's short range of motion to be honest. I feel much more comfortable and confident to use them for doing special moves, that may be because I never had a handheld in my childhood but I spend a big chunk of it playing 2D fighting games on arcade cabinets. I wish that more people would try them for fighting games. I think they are way more superior to play with it instead of d-pad. Especially you are playing Street Fighter and KOF in general. It is an unpopular opinion but I know I can't be the only one here thinking so.

[@gingerrevenger]

PowKiddy should just go with abbreviated names PK10M3

The Poobiedoop is absolutely amazing for my needs, been having such a blast playing through Pokemon Fire Red/Emerald! Also super surprised with how well some PSP games can run on it! Overall super awesome if you can get past its name. 😝

[@RedouaneSebbar]

Its actually pretty smart that they made fullscreen the default. The fanatics, that dont want this, know where to change it. The new people that would get this device will probably get it for the screen. When the then would be confronted with black borders, they probably would be disappointed and it could turn them off retro gaming or at least the device.

[@TechDweeb]

Yeah that's probably true.

[@SirCaco]

I love the V90 too, and I also wish they would do a V100 or something like that, with a bit more juice so we get reasonable PS1 performance. It can still run some PS1 games well enough, like Legacy of Kain, but it would be great to have the whole PS1 library running smoothly. Maybe... Saturn too? A man can dream.

[@ibdingo01]

I used to mostly rely on retro game corps for buy or not decisions. I’ll be honest, this channel has replaced that for me. I dig the humor and approach (though still need Retro for his setup vids). My wife and I do have a running argument about whether this is your everyday voice or not. Thank you for your hard work

It seems to be an X55-ish with the controls moved about. It's sitting on that mid performance bump where joysticks come in, but d-pads are still important. With having an RGB30 and an X55, this really doesn't add much for me, but it'll be great for some.

Probably not worth getting if you have an X55, unless the d-pad placement is a must.

[@madarasoun3018]

The companies making these kinds of handheld needs to give us grips. It is hard to find one and without grip, it is not comfortable to play at all.

[@Sadtiric]

It's a bummer about JELOS support ending for the 3566, but if I'm understanding it correctly, it's because they can't really improve it further. I still have to go fix JELOS on my RGB30... been too busy to do it.. 💚

[@artorias6321]

powkiddy to me seems to be underrated these days considering how people seem to avoid them. I love retroid and anbernic, but sometimes their prices are a TAD too steep for the value of the handhelds. even though powkiddy tends to have a harder time with specs, they are really good for what they offer... especially at their prices.

[@jakesmith5278]

The reason Pow Kitty don't learn anything is because all their devices are AI generated randomly every other week just Ambernic.

[@Vitoreba]

@@TechDweeb yeah... I bought the x28 since at the time, was the T618 with best ergonomics, but... These false diagonals piss me off hard... And... There it wasn't prettry fixable 😅 It is a pain in the ass to remove the l2 trigger which hide the d-pad without breaking anything, so... I just didn't 😅 And yeah... Since it happens with almost every device of them, it also should be a priority to resolve 😅

Things are really going to pop off when the Poobiedoop 2 drops! On a different note, do you think the 3566 is more powerful than the H 700 that’s in the 35XXH? I think it would make a great video to compare those two chips.

Bummer about your Bluetooth. Mine seems to be working fine (just tried it with the 8bitdo zero2 controller). I assume you've tried different controllers to no avail? I suppose there's a chance that a fresh OS flash would help. Maybe try the new Rocknix firmware if you're desperate?
