@Madlittlepixel I really need help on something. I was wondering if you could test donkey Kong country on the supaboy black gold and see if switching didn’t kong freezes it or not. Because I just got the supaboy sfc for Christmas and that made that version freeze so I was going to return it and get this one. I just want to know if doing that doesn’t freeze the black gold edition so I know before getting it

[@dionisiopilumeli7963]

If you could get a reply that’d be more than incredible! Happy holidays

[@Madlittlepixel]

@@dionisiopilumeli7963 I just tried DKC on the Supaboy black gold and switching worked as its supposed to. Nothing froze or anything. Was it a specific level or just happens each time?

&Madlittlepixel thank you very much I’ll buy the black gold one then and it happened every time but now I know thank you! Love your reviews

[@LowCountryMatt]

About fricking time.

[@AlexysRM]

Why the hell do they keep putting a 16:9 screen in a handheld that's only designed to play SNES games? Obviously just throwing some cheap off the shelf Chinese panel in there. So dumb.

[@dyllman98]

It's also funny bc every time that madlittlepixel says a company sends him stuff it's because he actually bought it himself 😂 he tries to say this to make himself look big but hes a small ass channel

[@CousinHubertRetrogaming]

Exactly! At least they should have covered the excess screen with a bezel... So that in the end it tricks us into being a 4/3 screen

[@rayman3521]

Actually, I like it when it's 16:9. It just looks better to me.

[@goldenretrogames]

It's shocking to me that they're still using a screen that appears to be connected via composite video internally. You'd think they would have change that. Instead, they just keep repackaging the same product.

[@goldenretrogames]

johneygd there’s standard composite ‘noise’ throughout the image. It’s using the same composite signal it passes out to a TV.

[@SebasHCG]

same con, plus no hdmi is really a weird (bad) choice, i was curious, maybe interested, but no more after watching this mediocre results for a nowaday machine, looks like we are back 5 years ago.

Why need for hdmi, tvs not hard to get w composite. You csn get an adaptor too.

It’s weird to me that people think a special color edition of a product should have different electronics.

[@Diggsworth]

Was given an SFC model for Christmas, worked for about 30 minutes until the screen just died. Don't repair, can only refund, replacement part expensive and would take way too long to ship. Real bummer.

[@Orpheusftw]

Lol, relatable on the 8bitdoo/dough nonsense. Love the products, (one of the only 3rd parties that can sometimes fool my hands into thinking it's official hardware) but the name is just bad. One would think it would be pronounced _dough_, to sound like Nintendo, or be the Japanese "do" meaning "the way of 8bit"...but apparently if you call their hotline their own staff says "8bitdoo". Not "correcting" you either, just venting about stupid names. PS. "Supaboy" is also a terrible name for anything.

[@pedrocasevero7019]

It's just me, or the supaboy is feeding a composite signal to The internal screen?

[@Madlittlepixel]

No, not just you. I said that in the video.

[@stardusty]

It looks like there's some sort of filter smoothing out the edges. Can that be turned off?

[@joypadlad]

These things always look interesting to me but for some reason I just imagine them exploding in my hands. 😂

[@Madlittlepixel]

LOL, I have only ever had one handheld that exploded, not in my hands mind you, but the Neo Geo X handheld. The battery blew up inside the unit lol.

[@joypadlad]

Madlittlepixel haha I’ve never had it happen but there’s something about the SupaBoy and how it looks that makes me not be surprised if it just exploded during play.

Hi thanks im a subscriber. Question please... What voltage charger box do we need to use to charge this console please ? Like 5V 1Amp ? Etc. I ask because i have different cell phone charger boxes with different voltage output levels and dont want to damage my SupaBoy. Thanks. Anybody knowledgeable please reply soon

[@ginger_bass_guy6656]

I've seen the display on the SupaBoy Black gold, and I thought it was awful. Sources I've read said it's LCD. However, the SupaBoy S and SFC models, the box says they are LED. Can anyone vouch if the displays on the older models are nicer than the Black gold? Also, are the older units reliable? Are they ok to buy used? I'm concerned since Hyperkin doesn't sell repair parts, and the Black Gold has a 1 year warranty.

[@alphaking88]

I've just got this one from Amazon and to be honestly this is really disappointed. The screen looks terrible, AV to TV also looks terrible. Buttons don't feel good as the original SNES controller, not even good compare to 8bitdo's SNES controller. The whole device feels like cheap plastic garbage. I don't really want to play my SNES games on this trash mainly because the screen really sucks. Return it back to Amazon on the next day. Not worth it!

[@Lagunaish]

The soldier boy fiasco is how I found you!

@Pezz 82 - I can't fault your logic.

[@ALittleSnowFairySaga]

@@AlexysRMYour phone isn’t a portable that can have a real controller and cartridge plugged into it. That’s the thing.

[@AlexysRM]

@@ALittleSnowFairySaga Huh?? You can 100% plug a real controller into your phone. Either through Bluetooth or the USB port. What are you talking about? lmao. Also giant SNES cartridges in a portable is just stupid. It's even more idiotic when the authenticity - which is literally the only reason to use carts in 2023 - goes right out the window with this since it uses a really low grade emulator. That's not real hardware in there. The SupaBoy was always complete garbage and made zero sense whatsoever. Better off getting a RG 353P from Anbernic if you want something that looks and feels like a Super Nintendo that's portable. That least makes more sense than this junk.

[@tims6046]

I have the SFC version and they are great the best compatibility of any hardware for Snes but also works with third party adaptors. You use super game boy one and two, also can play genesis/Megadrive, master system and famicom as well through cartridge adaptors. :) the screen also on these unlike the first model can be set to play in 4:3 aspect ratio for pixel perfect. Two minor negatives, the screen could be better especially with chinese emulation handhelds getting better screens. The sound is also low but there is very easy fixes for that with tiny modding.

[@Alucard2089]

Tim S Hey I have the SFC version too. I did not know sega games could be played on it. How you do find the adapters to play them?

[@FRANCISCOCARDENASC]

How long does it take for a full charge?

[@VOAN]

Though I like to try one, the $140 price tag kinda turn me down. Also not all games will work properly on this thing, Super Ghouls n Ghosts may still glitch when playing on this device.

[@BakiX]

Ill give a fair warning for anyone interested in this product. I don't own this version of the system so these might have been fixed up by now, but I've owned the original Supa Boy for a few years now. While the product works fairly good and has never really given me any problems playing a cart (outside of Dragon Ball Z Hyper Dimension, which is a 50/50 chance to boot up lol) , its *major* flaw imo and the soul reason I hardly ever use it now, is its absolutely abysmal D-pad. Its insanely stiff, rigid and actually sinks in the middle when pressed down. This means sometimes it will randomly register a direction in response to your press, and I can assure you that means this will happen a LOT. If you plan on getting this for its portable use then I'd really second guess it, or at the very least find out if this D-pad issue has been fixed. Otherwise, its pretty great for what it is imo. Edit: I feel I should also mention with the original unit (of which I've tried 3) the first port for the controller would not register my 3rd party Super Famicom controllers (The Performance Super Pad). The unit did however work with a Standard official SNES controller. Not sure if that'd still be the case but I thought I'd mention it none the less.

[@DarDarBinks1986]

Why the hell would Hyperkin release this with COMPOSITE cables? Composite is cancer! It's 2019; use HDMI instead!

[@kenniekhaos]

Anyone know if the Super Everdrive x5 would work on this? The SD2SNES and FXPAK PRO are just too much for just playing it maybe an hour or 2 at work a day lol

[@Cincy32]

I have to disagree, I prefer original AV hook ups over HD on retro systems.

[@urielgalvan1095]

WIsh it had better screen view like ips. Has to have hdmi out. A little bit slimmer would be nice. Then last that the game cartridge would piggy back on the back side & not stick out so much.
