I'm Surprised By This R36S $59 Handheld Game Box ... It's Great !

[@findinghumorthruitall]

my first handheld retro video game device, i love it. i just got it found a new hobby, i got my eyes set on a bunch of them now. trimui smart pro, PK x28 , sf2000 data frog, odin #2 etc

[@howitusedtobe]

I live in the states … Specifically Massachusetts .. We have a huge festival/carnival every September and there has been a booth for the past few years selling game sticks and handhelds that appear identical to this … So I price one out fully being aware of how much I could order one for and the young man, blue to my face said “ Oh the handheld? I can do that today for $250.00 for you sir …. Needless to say I held in laughter and respectfully passed.

[@General_Kenobi_212]

You're talking about the Big E? I haven't gone in quite a few years but I live in Mass too lol. But yeah, that's messed up. That shady salesman's lucky you were nice and just laughed it off. Some people might have caused a scene over someone trying to rip them off like that....

[@doozeruk2000]

I think you are perhaps the only reviewer Wicked that has actually thought about what we used to get £40...when I started watching your channel over 2 years ago the choice for handheld gaming at this price was pathetic. Fast forward 2 years and the quality to price ratio has reached a new dynamic... Spot on my frien

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Yeah ... it's crazy what you get now for you money. They are improving very quickly !

[@Omar_Little]

the buttons here are not good

I just ordered one of these from Ali Express with a Black Friday deal at $39, I only ordered because of your review. I love playing Atari, Gameboy, Lynx, NES, SNES and it seems this will play all of those great!

[@WickedGamerCollector]

WOW.... 39 that is CRAZY !

[@budgetking2591]

yeah americans get crazy good prices@@WickedGamerCollector

[@fredrodnick2881]

Like you said, i quit the Gameboy just before the screens and games really improved. Now I'm glad to be back with the quality they have today.

[@TheRealAlpha2]

I don't mind the analog method for playing DS games on these devices. I've had a DS with an R4 card and it's great for stuffing all your games on the system but needing firmware updates every so often which became a hassle. Frankly, Nintendo probably thinks they can stop emulation by making devices with gimmicks like dual screens or touch displays and the fact that that Emulator is functional and playable on almost all the cheaper handhelds with a single small screen at this point is a testament to the tenacity of Emulator developers.

[@EthicsCommission]

One of the "L" buttons ( I think L2) will give you both screens for DS games

[@Bendilin]

My atomic purple R36S should be passing customs tomorrow! I love my R35S but that stick placement... the R36S seems like my perfect vertical budget handheld! 😤

Just got it last week from Ali express. I freaked love this $50 device. I did buy the wifi toggle $18 and USB adapter $12 to get to updated. Stereo sound not the best but again $50 from arcade to nes DS. 64G SD card. Only problem was, windows wouldn't properly copy and paste the files to a better SD card.

Got mine on offer for 35$ - what a bargain... Even managed to connect keyboard and mouse via OTG to play Doom 1 on it - wicked :D

[@texedomel01]

Good review. I have the Miyoo mini plus so I probably should skip this one. Thanks for testing N64 Crusin' USA I will be very tempted to get it if it runs well.

[@dimebag505]

Looks pretty good and the price is very reasonable considering a lot of the prices of some of these games. My brother had a gameboy and GBA after and we had a snes when we were kids.

[@clausjahnel5379]

Sounds familiar! 😁

[@Hugobloxia]

It's perfect! Like, who want to play any retro games on only one device BUT including the psp ones. This device is great but I wish they made a version that is NOT like a gameboy and more like a Nintendo switch (without any joycon colours). Anyways, as always, great review Wicked gamer and collecter! You are one of the best KZbinrs that review the cheapo handhelds and retro game players!

[@nathangraves1069]

actually if you have a nintendo switch (specially lite) you can modded with a chip and play retroarch in it, i have mine like that and it's awesome, plus you can play some DS, 3ds amd psp games as well.

[@hectormontalvo5565]

Quite good portable not perfect but worth it. Good review and cool video Wicked!👉😃👈

[@BloodVixen]

Ordered one of these things for my brother for Christmas. We grew up with the ugly grayscale brick Game boy. We loved the game gears color screen, but it was six AA batteries for a fraction of the game time. Good old dot matrix LCD. We collected gaming handhelds over the years and eventually did get our hands on one, and even an Atari lynx.... I really wish that console taken off. The Atari lynx was ahead of its time. The GBA was my go-to In high school.

[@dampfermaniac5335]

Paid 43 Euros...great Deal and use this more than the Miyoo Mini Plus.

i have a steam deck but this is very nice small handheld that I can play custom rom hacks for pokemon or older games. I got mine for $41 on aliexpress

[@bluesea2023]

You can find this 49$ handheld for as low as 85$ online. Very good deal for a 49$ device. Those 49$ device are normally over a 100$

I have also this awsome handheld console. You can give the console more ram usage because it has 1Gb of ram and i have set it that the console uses 520Mb of ram and N64 and PSP games run smoother

[@brondster47]

Thank you for the review- i've just ordered this last week as i was in need of a decent portable "Game Box"- thank you for the heads up about the N64/PSP/DC emulation. i wonder if there's a way to replace the emulation software with better running /more stable emulator

[@MasterOfTheNinthArch]

I grew up with a Philips MSX2 home computer... yes I'm old🧐

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Love those old pc's 😎

[@farleysmoke5130]

Very nice for the money 💰 thanks Wicked

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Ow wait ... XU10 coming up ... it's going to WILD !!!

[@62239mikec]

I have the exact game.I love it.

[@pitapitabread]

N64 seems to be the most difficult to emulate, so i guess a good octa core 2ghz cpu is needed.

[@victoriafischer1945]

I think it’s difficult because the emulators are not optimized to run it, not because they need an octa core to run. Having an octa core processor in your own PC back when the N64 was the latest console sounds extremely expensive!!

[@clausjahnel5379]

No, it's the chip. Even under ideal conditions with optimized firmware including optimized emulators - it is simply not able to run the whole n64 library. Guess that there are not many chips around for which the emulators were optimized as much as for the rk 3326. Full N64 emulation is just beyond its technical abilities. Same goes for DC and PSP. Some light games will run nicely, but not Chains of Olympus, GTA or so. Sadly this won't change a lot in the future. These 3326 handhelds should be bought for up to PS1, because that is where this processor really does a great job. btw Nice testing, Sir Wicked! 👍😁

[@kuzuthunder1964]

That would be sega saturn unfortunately. Many handhelds that can emulate dc and gc quite well do not even attempt saturn. It is crazy that Saturn emulation is not even close to being accurate after all those years.

[@murderdoggg]

Does the sound play on stereo over the headphones jack? Great reviews on your channel. I just ordered one from Ali.

[@dark2deeds]

First handheld I ever got was gba sp day after I bought psp

[@RetroMan-]

Good looking device

[@christaylor2428]

Is a modified switch any good for emulation?

[@WickedGamerCollector]

No idea .. i don't bother with Switch itself. Or it's needs to when it comes for testing hardware of talk about fun games to buy.

[@michailbarmperis1393]

Have you tried connecting it to TV? Does it work? And can you add a gamepad to play 2p? And if so can you connect it to the TV and connect a pad at the same time or there's just one OTG port so you have to choose either TV or pad?

[@susanna8612]

I dont think u can connect it to TV. Also no WiFi or Bluthooth. He should mention this in the video

pretty good product for the money, i'm tempted. Problem is that I don't like the way all the buttons move when you press one button and the clicky start/select/function buttons, why don't they use rubber membrane buttons.

Does anybody knows if it can emulate other platforms besides the ones they are included? The other day I saw someone with a scummvm emulator on it. Also, what happens if use a 128gb on the rom card and a 32gb on the firmware one? You know, bigger sd cards, does it affect anything?
