Yeah, that's how I look at this game as being still enjoyable despite the shortcomings. And let's be honest -- when you are somewhat poor--- you have to settle for a little less at times. I also feel calmer bringing a cheap one with me in certain situations.

Remember those Pro 200 commercials from the 1990s? "Plays 200 games, and even includes a calculator! Throw those old cartridges away!" Ugh, that STILL steams my broccoli. Anyway, that crappy Tetris player with the blocky black and white graphics (and a calculator) was $20. This is light years beyond that.

Oh I had no idea there'd been an update or that the community had started working around the unidentifiable CPU roadblock. I'd initially given up on the idea due to the jank, but now that CFW is a possibility I'll probably follow through on hooking it up to one of my cheaper CRTs permanently. Great video!

Mine Just arrived today and I very quickly discovered how nice it is to play on tv with the second controller switched to player one! The second controller still serves a Huge purpose even without a second player. It is smaller, lighter, the start and select buttons are in their classic positions which is great, and you can keep the console by the tv while you play wireless across the room instead of being limited in distance by the length of the cord! That Really makes me want to get another controller to see if I can do two player tv wireless. I understand if it didn't work somehow and either way I am very happy that I got the extra controller package just for wireless one player whether on console, tv, projector even.

If custom firmware does actually become available for this, then I'll pull the trigger. I would definitely need to curate the game set on something this basic but I really love the SNES controller look. I have the Anbernic 353M because it's just more practical for me in my situation but i REALLY wanted the 353P because of the SNES controller look. It just ended up being to big and not subtle enough for me in terms of a being a pocketable carry around town thing. On the other hand, this Data Frog thing would be an easy buy for the nostalgia hit as long as I could tweak it a bit.

I tested it a lot on my channel. It's pretty simple to put games, it can run master system, it can run ROM hack, some need to be unzipped. With frog tool you can create your own image. You can put Samsung 25r batteries or Sony VTC 6. That thumstick work nice for some games. "But her face!" It hates lots of enemies in GBA games,it hates parallax scrolling in GBA. In SNES you have to open a game twice and for normal SF2000 speed. To put it simpleif it come with firmware 1,4 don't even turn it on Just download the 1,5image and save your time.

- Not blurry, and all systems are stretched to 4:3 (so GB and GBC are not their native ratio). It actually looks really good though overall. - No sleep mode, but it's VERY fast to get into and out of a game on the fly including saving and loading states.

So, the SF2000 has received a sort of "v2" version that comes with a new box as well as the new software update with key mapping and favoriting right out of the box. The unit that I received is this newer v2 version so I was wondering if I could use the snippet of your video showing off the older style box to show the differences in my review I'm working on if I would credit your channel as well as the video obviously.

Bro, I bought one of these on temu, I was very impressed at first with the roms list and still am to be honest. With that being said, my unit may have serious battery issues. While my batteries aren't catching on fire, the battery that came with it died in less than a week, on top of that I put in another battery of the same type from my vape stuff and that battery is now fully dead too. The worst part is, both batteries died after the 2nd recharge after first use. This may be a battery killer. Honestly the roms list may be the best value for this particular handheld, providing you have the ability to use it in another device. So I'm a PC nerd, cuz, and I happen to have an Intel compute stick I've been dying to make a portable plug in PC/streambox/retro game player. I'm going to go through my spare vape batteries and probably buy 1 brand new battery of exact specification before I give up on this handheld. Either way, I look forward to putting the micro SD card from this into my Intel compute stick. 😊 Added, I luv how you call this a "beater", because it's cheap AF.

With this if he drops it then its not going to matter so much and hopefully he gets into it enough to start to develop his hand dexterity and then can think about getting him something better in future after a few years of adding more roms to this. Will customise the rom selection so he has just a bunch of the best games, so not to overwhelm him with too much choice.

@@dadou193 got it, totally worth it FOR THE PRICE. If it cost more I would complain, but it is so inexpensive that you kinda can't. Lots of the roms are glitchy or not in English, but file issues can be corrected with minimal effort if you like - I simply don't care as this is my beater device. Also, the fact remains, most of the games work just fine and you get the entire system loaded for less than the cost of replacing one retro game. Sure no headphones is weird, sure no screen dimmer is weird, but for as Easy as it is to plug into a tv and play multiplayer without having to memorize a phone book full of instructions - I'll endorse it.

did they enjoy them? ordered one for my friends kid for christmas, going to limit the amount of roms to only the best games, then give him more over time. The problem i still feel is possible with these is like the older versions of these, the old controller with a set of wires coming out of it that you plug into your tv that grandparents get for their grandkids from some dodgy market stall, and all the roms are trash, and theres like 20,000 of them, so theres no way the kids could even find the good games if they tried. though these new products are definitely a step up from those, they all still seem to do the same thing with just filling them with roms to the point that i think most kids would get overwhelmed.

QUESTION!!! does it run FF VI well? I mean like is it playable?
@TechDweeb
@TechDweeb Жыл бұрын
Nope. I just tested it for ya. The GBA version is stuttery and glitchy, and the snes version seems better but there are audio and graphical glitches in the intro cutscene. And then after that in-game there are lotsa graphical glitches.

No cheat. Some advance games don't run great, but they're playable. I tried Advance Wars and Metroid were fine, but Castlevania had a bit of slowdown.

I just used this Pandora 70s game stick for the first time yesterday and it has such a messy collection of games. There's 30k games on it and it's the kind of build that has 14 pages of King Of Fighters games at the start of the list. I think it's only a 64gb card, can it be changed and still work? Edit: oh yeah I said all that to then ask if this build could be copied over the Pandora build. Also that I am definitely going to buy the newer black model that is potentially a little better or more optimized than the awesome looking one in this video.

Im stoked they uodated the firmware. I want to get my neighbor's 9 year old girl who hangs out with us all the time and always wants to play games, something small that she can play that i can curate the games lost and give her like 50 or 100 games like pokemon to play. $15 right now on sale. Ill also get the cobtrollers since theyre $5 for another two controllers. That raises a question. How the hell do they connect the controllers to the handheld? It cant possibly have a bluetooth or 2.5ghz internal band. The only real shame is no headphone jack. I would like to give her some headphones too. I just wanted to find something that could do GBA pokemon and below for like $30 or less and wasnt a piece of junk. I really wished the anbernic nano was around $30, since she particularly has a huge obsession with "tiny" things and it would have ticked her pink. But $50 is a little more than i wanted to spend on a child that wasnt mine, lol. The v90 was also juuuuust pushing it on price.

Had mine for a while now and switched out 18650 with Samsung and didn't change battery performance and the battery bar is junk because when it's drops to 3 it drops super fast and if it runs out playing a game it corrupts the game (did for me). SNES games that aren't running right switch the system settings to PAL and it fixes the performance. Other than that it's a amazing cheap good for what it is handheld
