Some people were able to get sf 2000 for 6$. I got it for 10, but stil a great value in my opinion. Can't wait for custom firmware though.

Your right it's good just use your iiimaaaaaaginaaaaaation

[@tajemniczepulchnecos2074]

@@technocatgmz3600 Bruh, it emulates Gameboy, Gameboy color, nes and Sega Genesis perfectly + cool SNES controller look. And just for that, in my opinion FOR 10$ it's a great value. The fact that emulation of SNES, Gameboy advance and mame isn't good, and even some mame games do run at full speed is a bonus to me. Maybe someone wants a cheap handheld for old games that he can bring anywhere and not worry about damaging or breaking it. That's just my opinion. And if you disagree present your points why it isn't worth 10$. 🤷

I just want something in the EXACT same form factor as the V90 that can do all PSX perfectly.

[@imm311]

great video! God bless you and yours! Praying for you!

[@thaddeusmcgrath]

I bought the similar version of the game box and happy with it. I modded mine to also use a 3.7V 5000mAh battery similar to a AA battery but larger. The included battery is 1020mah and gets weak fast and makes the unit glitch with dim screen after an hour or two use. The back lit screen is really bright so if there is a higher mah battery that size I would suggest getting one.

[@eldontyrellcorp]

I like the v90, this is my go to handheld when going on holidays, unique clamshell design, very nice screen, stereo sound, a ton of emulators (+retroarch !). I recommend it ! Have bought the red, yellow and black versions.

[@allergictobs9751]

Look at the value being provided, holy shit, and that too with USB C connectors. Wow!

[@DuplexScripts]

Thanks! Just bought the SF2000 DataFrog for just 1 dollar. Worth the money 😊

[@kicks880]

where did you buy it?

[@robertwendal5894]

I got the sf 2000 for $14, for the poke games the $14 is priceless. Love the analogue stick too. Is it a great system, no, is it worth every penny, absolutely.

[@robertwendal5894]

@@susanna8612 I just looked AliExpress still has them at $14. 55% off their original price. Good stocking stuffer for kids!

[@RedFlameFox]

I already have a PSP since 2006, but wow that "PS1 GBA SP" looks cool.

[@0Akeldama0]

PS1 should be seen as a bonus, just keep that in mind. I have a v90 and i like it. I recommend you put some tape under the dpad so it doesnt fall flush and a new SD card with the custom firmware. (32GB should be plenty)

[@kountkrackula9518]

I wish someone made a glass screen replacement for the powkiddy v90

[@AdmiralBison]

Modern day 'Tiger Handhelds'...just actually playable. These make for EXCELLENT Christmas stocking stuffer gifts for little kids and those who just want very simple easier to play retro games.

[@rodgerfisher219]

The Powkiddy being able to do PSX is pretty impressive for the price. Still, I'd go for the 35XX or Miyoo Mini+ if I was getting a low end system. The overall build quality on them seems much better than the Powkiddy from what I've seen.

[@Riggy931]

Unless you’re doing some kind of deal the powkiddy sells for half the price. And the games I’d be interested in playing are the same ones I would play on the miyoo or anbernic (gba or snes). At 30-40 bucks total, the powkiddy is way more reasonable for someone that doesn’t want to make owning retro handhelds a hobby or for a kid. Once I’m paying nearly 100 bucks I start questioning whether I should get something like a retroid pocket 2s or go all out with an anbernic rg405.

[@MericaBack2backWWChampions]

Why was my comment taken down?

[@MrCed122]

At the price of the RG35xx, you can find things like the RG351p (which can run GBA, SNES and PS1 essentially perfectly and kinda N64 / DC, it also has a few ports like Celeste, AM2R, Freedom Planet and many more) or the RK2023 (which can play DC and N64 really well and many more ports like Shredder's Revenge), without even mentionning the Retroid Pocket 2S, that can run some PS2 and GC games decently for $100. If you want to not pay much, the V90 or A66 are probably the better choice, if you want to pay more, I find the RG35xx and Miyoo Mini+ to be in a weird spot, it's essentially at the same price as much more powerful devices. Sure, the build quality is good (so is the RG351P since it's the same brand, Anbernic), but not enough to justify the price difference. I've seen the RG35xx sold at around $40 on sale, at that price, it makes more sense, but not at $60 - $70 like it is at regular price.

[@rodgerfisher219]

@@MrCed122 Those are all pretty solid options, although you can get a 353VS for around the same price as a 351p, which gets you a better processor. With both of these systems being around $85, I'd say that the $55 35xx is still at a sensible price point. Especially since, as you said, it goes on sale a lot. I see it as a worthy upgrade from the powkiddy if you want the performance of that system with better overall build quality. Of course, if you just want the absolute cheapest possible way to play 8/16 bit games, powkiddy is going to be your better option.

[@lalas3590]

@@MrCed122 I know it's a month late (which is an eternity in terms of emulation handhelds) - but nowadays both the Miyoo Mini Plus and the Rg35xx can easily be found at 40-55 bucks (without coupons/discounts). Also some mad lad made DS games run on Miyoo Mini Plus (although it's still not stable unless if you overclock the device).

[@RustyX2010]

After this video prices for these handhelds skyrocketed on eBay!

[@GravelWare]

Yeah eBay can be more expensive for these sometimes! You can still get them for close to $30, $20, and $10 though on aliexpress and Temu :)

[@malazar9565]

They’ve been steadily climbing over the last two months. I bought a datafrog a month ago and paid $25.

[@pippetto72]

Are there Arcade games in this console, such as Pacman, Donkey Kong, Pooyan, Circus, Phenix, Space Invaders, Burger Time, Galaga, ...?

[@steve501]

I got a game box as a gift 2 years ago from someone who got absolutely fleeced. It died on me a month later, maybe 10 uses, it is just e-waste and felt like it the first time I picked it up. I have an SF2000 on the way and will be getting a V90 when I can find a good sale

To anyone looking at getting the Data Frog handheld... if you get the one with the second controller? That controller does NOT support diagonals of any kind on the d-pad.

[@Butterfinger234]

Can you get the first console on Amazon if Solomon’s can telll me I would rlly appreciate it!!

[@t.terrell7037]

Are there any that play out the box without having to do a card swap?

[@GravelWare]

They all work out of the box just fine without swapping microsd cards, it's just usually recommended to swap them out because sometimes the stock cards are cheap and can fail. But the vast majority of retro handhelds you will find will play just fine out of the box without bringing everything over to a new microsd card :)

[@loringbush1455]

The SF2000 freezes when I'm playing Gameboy Advance games and is slow at playing Super Nintendo games but it's great at playing Gameboy and Gameboy color games and Nintendo games so I give it a rating 8 out of ten!

[@johnaraya3761]

ok with the data frog if your games run slow just load the game back out then run it again and it will fix it not a big fix but for now its all you can do with that you can play it all everything will doing that

[@reynangan8746]

what i dont like for the data frog is a glimmering red led which is nauseous to the eyes

[@peteraragon1990]

Hi where and how did u get it?

[@GeorgiaRidgerunner]

i remember back when the fc retro thing was the thing for several months well finally bought one and to be honest i dont see what the big deal with it was its 8 bit games but they actually ran decent but the screen was so smal and it had screen tearing issues that it made it incredibly difficult to see bullets coming at at you (contra) the buttons were all linked together a or b also pushed its turbo counter part for you the over all size of the unit was to small for adult hands terrible speaker just not worth the 40 dollar price point in all honesty these chinese handhelds are a terrible buy as they always have issues that are fixed in later revisions but then revision 2 has that issue resolved but two new problems that werent an issue in previous revisions the best hand held gaming device honestly is your old andrpid phone or even ypur current phone youll have a much better experience using a playstore app. since its constantly updated by its developer any way thats my 2 cents worth on chinese handhelds
