Disabling bezels usually results in better framerates because of the reduced overhead. Your GPU (or in this case, the SoC) works harder to render those HD bezels, which tbh look tacky and distracting. Trust me, black bars aren't so bad.

Try turmeric in mashed potato. Livens it up no end, particularly if you put some herbs in as well. I made it for my dad once and he approved! Good for you as well, apparently -- some people use it as a supplement. Re the gaming system itself, I'm definitely curious. The problem is the same with the Anbernic system -- the Dreamcast games are a bit shite.

That's likely the screen resolution settings on the Android side. If you're plugging the SCX Pro into a 4K display, when in Android it will default to 4k, and then when you go back to EmuELEC it will get all messed up. So go into the Android side and change it back to 1080p and it should work fine. I think I showed that in one of my Super Console X Pro/Stick videos...

It has the S905L chipset, which is a tiny bit better than this one, but not by much. You'd likely have to flash your own OS, even though it comes with EmuELEC it probably doesn't have a nice image like this device. Alternatively, I would look at the HK1 box, which is also cheaper and has the S905X3 chip, much more powerful (I have a video on it). That one will also need its own firmware flashed, but I do that in my video.

These boxes have a killer price and also they are somewhat plug and play or at least require only some adjustments. But you not just have to get a better controller, I also really dislike the box inself.I would prefer either a unibody aluminum case or a retro inspired one like the Retroflag Raspberry Pi cases. The biggest advantage of the Anbernic metal handhelds is that hey have a premium feeling that feels like it could have been made by a major game hardware producer. Those consoles look like the cheap king of Android TV boxes. Just as the handhelds did only a few years ago (and still look, asides from Anbernic). Up until there is no console with a premium case, I rather setup my Raspberry Pi 4 in a Retroflag case.

Going between this and the Super Console X, which would you say is better, and do they have the same general list of games?

SCX has a better game image, they’re very similar in terms of games but the SCX has better settings tweaks and bezels, etc. Performance seems to be the same.

You said in your video to go out and get your own controllers if you don’t like the ones bundle with the device, what are alternatives? Curious If I can use a 8bitdo controller with this device or even the super console X

Yeah, you could hook up any device that has xinput like most bluetooth universal controllers like 8bitdo. You'd have to map the inputs manually though I think.

I don't think this is a very big jump from the RPi3. I would look at something like the Super Console X King I reviewed the other day, it's a much bigger jump.

My holy grail is to get a handheld emulation system that will play Baku Baku Animal (Sega Saturn). As far as I know, this only works on mednafen for PC. I was pleased to hear about the Steam thing but it probably won't reach my region until 2022. In the meantime, using an old smartphone (Samsung Note 9) is probably more powerful than the current crop of Anbernic and Powkiddies?

Yep, most older phones are still better than most of the dedicated handhelds on the market, and they work decently with a good telescopic controller like the GameSir X2.

I think the CPU is just too outdated. I would argue that the s922x is the bare minimum for emulating old school 3d consoles (PS1, Saturn, N64, Dreamcast). I got a Beelink GT King that I installed EE on myself (as well as Alvatech's custom Android ROM), and I'm pretty happy with that.

Even a high end Android box like Nvidia Shield can’t play PS2. You’ll need a PC for that. These cheap boxes or even a potato can play PS1 these days. N64 on these low end boxes are a mixed bag. Higher end 4gb boxes play N64 much better.
