SF2000 Retro Handheld- All You Need To Know About it! Review

[@exidy-yt]

I paid $12Cdn INCLUDING SHIPPING from AliExpress for this bad boy. How can they even make money on that? It's about $9.50USD equivalent. I am amazed how well it does especially with arcade games. It's SNES emulation could definately be better, especially SuperFX games but for that price! The screen is beautiful if a bit tiny and the controls are great. The whole thing just feels like quality. To think I paid more for dinner then I paid for a handheld that plays what would have taken up a warehouse once upon a time is mindblowing.

[@MashTec]

Awesome deal dude! 👍🏻 Nice catch. I will soon try the multicore firmware with it and see how it performs with this cfw. This could improve performance for some emulators and introduce some more. May come around with a video about it ;) Enjoy your device!

[@exidy-yt]

@@MashTecThank you, and yes your info for the firmware updates and bugfix are very useful, I have to check the firmware on mine, it may be a newer run that is already updated to the newest official build but if not ima fix that pronto. Will definately be interested in the multicore performance as well!

[@cubey]

i just paid $25 including tax USD with 1 external controller on Ali. can't complain i figure. i just want it for 16bit mostly, maybe some 8bit

[@antwango]

ive been singing the praises of this thing to everyone including the retro handheld snobs, its the easiest way to get into retro gaming... theres no worrying about cores or configurations or overlays as it wont allow you to do any of that.... ive got the matte black version had it for about a yr now just waiting for SNES, GBA to improve.... we've seen doom etc running at stupid frames per sec

[@exidy-yt]

@@antwango My man, you want to download and install this on a fresh SD card (if the link works) when the Internet Archive is restored: not only is the GBA and SNES performance fixed, it includes multicores pre-set up for PCE, SMS, Lynx, Atari 2600 and 7800 and a ton more with a proper North American and Euro ROMset of games too, not the strange load that the default config gets you. It's as easy as ever and performs like a million bucks.

[@Curryking32000]

I have one of these and it really is superb value for money. Highly recommend it.

[@MashTec]

Thank you for your feedback. Absolutely share this opinion with you. I‘m curious to see what‘s coming up for this device, especially with the Multicore (cfw) project.

[@Evilkingus]

Yes, but who would want it?

[@MashTec]

@@Evilkingus Hi dude, that‘s a really good question. And i also asked it myself many times with this device. It‘s not too easy to nail down, since i have mixed feelings about it. If you‘re fine playing mostly 8bit consoles (up to some 16bit titles), or look for something to hand out to your kids to share your retro gaming experience with them, this might be a good option for the price. I‘ve seen many cheap Chinese handhelds for around 15$ that are really bad. Bad design, bad control buttons, no joystick, no IPS display, no TV-out, horrible menu,…that‘s very different with the SF2000. So it is low budget but comes with some premium features (so to speak). For sure this is not the device for you if you‘re looking for a daily driver retro gaming handheld. It‘s too weak to emulate all the systems i‘d like to see on a retro gaming handheld. As i recommended in my video: rather spend 20-30 bucks more and get a solid R36S instead if you‘re looking for a "real" retro gaming handheld. But still i think also this device has it‘s target group.

[@pfroo40]

I believe it is actually only 128MB RAM. For screen tearing, there are a couple community mods that can improve it somewhat. There are also community options to use custom emulator versions.

[@MashTec]

Hi dude, actually i also doubt the claimed 1GB of RAM are real. But since there is no way to verify it my own i can only forward DataFrog‘s specs here :) What improvements did you test to get rid of the screen tearing problem? I‘ll definitely take a look on the 'Multicore' project for the support of furthers emulation systems and see if they improve the screen tearing. Either way, thanks for your feedback! :)

[@DrxSlump]

I waste my money on so many emulation handhelds, yet I love this! I love how straight to the point it is and how I wouldn't mind losing it hahah

[@MashTec]

haha 😂 i 100% share this feeling about this device with you. It‘s kind of a hate-love. You can‘t love it, but you also can‘t really hate it. I love the concept and design but i hate (too hard of a word) that it ain‘t a little better. But that‘s what you pay with the price :)

[@IronbugVR]

After modding the console with buttons and rubber membranes from a SNES controller and installing updated firmware, customized to my liking, this thing is so sweet. It was fun to mod, and plays all my favorite 90s games. I think every game needs this $20 device.

[@MashTec]

Cool project dude :) how do the rubber membranes improve it and what firmware did you install? Did you go with multicore? I fully agree that every retro gamer should have this device. Not just because of the nostalgic look and fell, but also for the fact that it plays 8-bit and most 16-bit games with no problem and for the unbeatable price ;)

[@IronbugVR]

@@MashTec The rubber membranes from the snes have a larger contact point with more firm rubber. It makes the buttons and d-pad more responsive and feel a bit better. I am on the latest Data Frog OS until I get a new sd card, then I am putting on multicore.

[@MashTec]

@IronbugVR cool 👍🏻 i‘d appreciate your opinion about it. I also wanted to test multicore on it bit haven‘t found time yet to do it.

[@Lets_Talk_About_GOD]

I liked the d-pad, buttons and controls in general. They are really adequate. They look like they are worthy already . This cannot be compared to the "jelly" of the SUP console.

[@WagnersTechTalk]

Wow, that's a pretty cool little device! You certainly can't beat the price. This would be great to hand out to the kids during a long road trip. I'd be curious to see any future cfw options in the future, the screen tearing is a bummer but can't ask for much in this price range. Great video MashTec, love your work!

[@MashTec]

Hey Jon, thanks for your comment. I absolutely share your point of view. This device gives me mixed feelings. Can‘t love it, can‘t hate it 😂 Need to watch your Raspi 5 video later. Sounds very interesting to me.

[@waeggy123]

Impressive video which hits every important point on that device and easy understanding howtos❤

[@MashTec]

Thanks a lot for your positive feedback my friend. Glad to read you ;)

[@ronaldclayton4232]

This is a decent emulator for the price the only problem with it is the D pad wont go diagonal.If your playing Contra for example you cant shoot at an angle with the D Pad you have to use the analog stick.The analog stick is surprisingly though and I think it's the best one by far on a device this cheap.

[@MashTec]

Interesting. I will try this with my device and come back to you. I think i never tried with the D pad (always used the analog stick) :) i let you know if it‘s the same here or if it‘s a problem with the device or firmware.

[@MashTec]

I can confirm this. It‘s not possible to make diagonal shorts in Contra with the D pad only. This is only possible using the analog stick.

[@Lets_Talk_About_GOD]

Very comfortable grip, nice to hold in your hands, and especially in active battles. The screen would be 3.5 inches...

[@Navman220]

Really good complete and helpful video. Thank you!

[@MashTec]

Hey dude, thanks. I‘m glad you like it.

[@danilomenoli]

Please make a video like this for the multicore 0.1 firmware. This shit is so hard to install and comprehend, we are still lacking a solid tutorial for that.

[@MashTec]

Thanks for your input dude. I actually think about doing it. Did it already for mine and it‘s absolutely worth doing the upgrade 👍🏻 the upgrade process itself it pretty easy to explain ;)

[@MashTec]

I need to correct my impression about GBA emulation here. After testing more games i have to say that lots of GBA titles have significant video glitches. Not as bad as SNES but still noticeable. Sorry for the confusion, but i want to clarify this here.

[@Luuka-Chan389]

was curious but when connected to a tv via av is the screen tearing still an issue?

[@MashTec]

Hey Luuka, indeed a good testing idea to sort out if it is related to the screen or cpu. I actually tried it an screen tearing was still happening even via A/V out.

[@Luuka-Chan389]

@@MashTec appreciate the feedback, thanks

[@MashTec]

@@Luuka-Chan389 I appreciate your constructive input 👍🏻

[@andrewlodge8065]

I just wish it had a slightest better processor, cos IMO this is easily the best form factor for a small retro handheld....I honestly don't know why it hasn't been upgraded by somebody yet

[@MashTec]

I wish the same dude. The processor is the main issue of this device. Maybe also responsible for the screen tearing. Apart from that it‘s a handy device.

[@Castlemaster.]

Nice review, i'm thinking of getting this one as well, but i already bought a GB300 and they say it's the same as this one, it's just vertical, not sure if it runs SNES and GBA better :/

[@MashTec]

Hi dude, thanks for your feedback! I wouldn‘t recommend buying this handheld for SNES and GBA gaming. I’m not familiar with the RG300, but it really seems pretty the same in emulation power but in a different orientation and lag of a analog stick. Some games will work fine but most demanding titles run poor on this device. But if your looking for easy 16bit gaming in a cool form factor and may want to make use of games with a joystick i can recommend it to you. For the price of ~20$/€ you can‘t get wrong with it. Enjoy!

[@ikagura]

Completely random question again but how do you add arcade games and which are supported? Arcade roms are zip files already. Also can you technically add a PC Engine and a Master System/Game Gear emulator or I'd need an entirely new firmware?

[@MashTec]

Hey dude, thanks for the questions. Actually i‘m not 100% sure how it handles arcade games, but i think it works with MAME roms, so they should be able to be added the same way i showed in the video. If you are looking for support of further emulators the multicore project seems interesting. They added quiet a lot more emulators to this system already. I think SEGA Master System is already supported. GameGear and PC Engine are also technically supported by the system. But only via a different fw called Multicore. I hope that helps you ;)

[@ikagura]

@@MashTec Okay thanks. I'll check the multicore then. As for Mame I think I found where the zips were meant to be.

[@hexapusink]

Have you tried Mutlicore? In my experience the SD card can affect the screen tearing. On a cheap Microcenter 16gb(class 10), minimal or no screen tearing. On an old Sandisk 16gb I had, there was constant screen tearing. I think the speed of the SD is a major factor with this device's performance(at least with NES/SNES/MD/PCE).

[@MashTec]

Hey Hexapus, i haven‘t found the time yet to try it out, yet. But that‘s an interesting finding with the ad card. I will give this a try too. Got some sd cards lying around here from different brands. Thanks for this hint. Actually the screen tearing is the only annoying problem with this device for me. Thanks!

[@DecibelAlex]

SD card speed can't affect game performance because the ROM is loaded in the RAM when you start up a game. The only thing it could affect is the boot up time, but the read speeds are probably bottlenecked on this thing anyway it hardly matters what SD card you use in it. You probably flashed a newer firmware than what you had on the sandisk card. v1.6 supposedly improves the clock speed slightly. Or it's a placebo effect because I haven't really noticed any difference tbh

[@MashTec]

Thanks for your feedback. Actually i think the same and can‘t see any performance relation to the sd card.

[@hexapusink]

@@DecibelAlex What would be the cause of the extreme difference in performance then? I'm not trying to argue with you but it was like night and day. Constant wave going diagonally across the screen as the image scrolled. This was an old(like 10+ years) SD card, Sandisk. Someone on Reddit suggested it was the SD speed and I know read/write speed is a factor when choosing an SD for a game device. If not the speed then it was the SD card itself? Also, it was the exact same firmware/image.

[@hexapusink]

@@MashTec The SD card is not just storing the games but it's also running the OS. From one of the multicore devs "The firmware for the SF2000 is actually located on the microSD card, in a file called bisrv.asd located in the bios folder. This file is a monolithic binary blob, which contains the device's OS, the emulators, their settings... basically everything."

[@Lets_Talk_About_GOD]

We are waiting for the headphone jack and brightness adjustment in the new revisions. )) But otherwise it's super.

[@MashTec]

Hi dude, didn‘t know they plan a new revision on it. That‘s interesting news :) Do you know if they also fix the screen tearing problem and/or plan to give it a stronger CPU?

[@Lets_Talk_About_GOD]

@@MashTec sorry, bro its just was my dream =) I hope that it'll be so

[@MashTec]

@@Lets_Talk_About_GOD oh, alright :) then i hope for you your dream comes true. But to be honest, i doubt that they make another revision of it. You may want to take a look at the Anbernic RG353P, if you look for a major "upgrade".

[@Everything-Wii]

The GBA performance seems like its debated a lot... many people say it's a hit or miss, a few say it doesn't run at all, and some (like you) says it works very well. I don't know why! I'm getting my handheld soon so we'll see.

[@MashTec]

Hey dude, first of all, thanks a lot for your feedback and statement here. Actually i need to correct my impression about GBA emulation on the SF2000. Seems like i didn‘t test enough games to get it right :( Now that i played more games, i‘d say it‘s close to SNES emulation. Not as bad as SNES emu but close. Some games just work great others have some significant video glitches. Hit or miss would describe it the best. I‘m sorry for the confusion. Next time i need to test more games before giving my statement.

[@Everything-Wii]

@@MashTec Ah- that's okay! Thank you for clarifying that. Did you test any of the mario games? How did they run?

[@MashTec]

@@Everything-Wii Super Mario World and Super Mario Kart on the SNES work fine. Just Super Mario World 2 - Yoshi‘s Island has frame drops and audio glitches as shown in the video.

[@Everything-Wii]

@@MashTec That's awesome- because I love both mario kart and mario world but the sequel I never got into. I guess it makes sense considering how demanding Super Mario World 2 is.

[@MashTec]

@@Everything-Wii Absolutely. Sill i have high hopes that the situation can improve in future. The device already received a few updates that improved the performance significantly. Most likely some cfw could give another major improvement when they also optimize emulators for the hardware. We‘ll see :) Anyways it‘s a neat little device that definitely handles all 8-bit titles with no problem and many 16-bit titles. So i bet you won‘t regret your purchase 👍🏻

[@MashTec]

Hello dude, thanks for your question. After you applied the boot-fix once, there is no need to do it again for any further firmware updates. It applies to the boot-loader that is independent to the rest of the firmware. I hope that answers your question :)

[@RumUp92]

If you fix the boot then when you install the new firmware do you need to reinstall that fix or it's not necessary?

And what about charging? For me the red light comes on when charging but it stays on and doesn't go off or changes to green like on other devices. Is it the same for you???

[@MashTec]

Hi dude, the LED indication is a follows. If the device is turned on the LED turns red. If the device is charged the LED turns green. If the device is on and the device is charged the LED turns amber (red + green). Unfortunately there is no logic that stops the charge. The device always charges when the power cable (USB) is connected. I hope that helps!

[@ungratefulmango]

A colleague keeps asking me to recommend him a budget emulation handheld. He sees my Anbernic devices and assumes they are like £25. It's always disappointing to tell him they're more like £80-120. Finally, this looks actually good enough to bother setting up. Not phenomenal, but good enough for someone who doesn't really care about perfect emulation.

[@MashTec]

Hey dude, if you ask me, i‘d rather recommend getting a GameConsole R36S instead. It costs around 40£ and is much better. Better build quality, bigger screen, stronger processor. I bet your friend would love that device for the price ;)

[@ungratefulmango]

@@MashTec I've seen a couple of reviews. It looks like the RG351V, but with two analogue sticks and about half the price. I'll take a look. Thanks 👍

[@MashTec]

Exactly. A used RG351V may also be a good choice my friend 👍🏻 I just wouldn‘t recommend the SF2000 for a serious retro gaming handheld.

[@julianne7584]

What types of sd card can i use and how big storage can this device handle?

[@MashTec]

Hi dude, i recommend using sd cards from known brands such as Samsung or Sandisk. I tested 128GB and 256GB cards with no problems. But actually it doesn‘t make much sense to put such a big card into this device because the systems it can handle (up to snes, and there only a few games) don‘t come with big game sets. So actually i think you‘re totaly fine with a 32GB or 64GB card. I hope that helps ;)

[@julianne7584]

@@MashTec Can you suggest me a specific card of Sandisk? like what should I buy the Ultra or Extreme? Sorry for so much trouble 🥹

[@MashTec]

It‘s all fine :) feel free to ask your questions dude. That‘s why i‘m here. You will be absolutely fine with the Ultra version (the cheaper version). There is no need for the Extreme because you will not really benefit from loading times. You can get a 128GB Sandisk Ultra for around 10€ (affiliate link to amazon: amzn.to/47hEEW6) or 64GB for around 7€ (amzn.to/3XjEMQd)

[@MashTec]

Hi dude, regarding your first question, yes you can fully enjoy games like Harvest Moon or Pokemon as these games are not very demanding. Side scrollers like TMNT are more effected by the low CPU power but still playable 👍🏻 As sd card i can recommend any Sandisk or Samsung card (class 10) up to 64GB is more than sufficient.

[@DecibelAlex]

It's a shame they didn't just put a slightly better chip in it. I would've gladly paid a bit more to have good performance and no screen tearing. That being said I probably wouldn't pay 20€ for it today or even 10 when I can get something like the R36S for 20€ more

[@MashTec]

Yea, i fully understand your point dude! :) i thought exactly the same first. And i also recommend the R36S over this device if you look for a daily retro gaming driver. Still, if you are just into 8bit and 16bit (low demanding) gaming you can be really happy with this device. Having this device with all it features (maybe a bigger screen), but a slightly better chip to run ALL 16 consoles/handhelds without any problems would still be awesome.

Hey dude, that‘s a strange comparison. Both devices are basically very different and can‘t really be compared IMHO. The SF2000 is a retro gaming handheld that is able to play almost all 8bit and 16bit titles. The PlayDate is a new machine running it‘s own games that make use of the unique wrench input of this device. Working on a monochrome display. Very unique games. You wither love it it hate it :)

@@MashTec Wärst du so nett, mich mal grob aufzuklären? Ich bin jemand, der sich den geholt hat, um nur noch ein Gerät nutzen zu müssen. Kiste an - Spiel aussuchen und nach 20 min wieder weglegen. Was würde mir ein anderes Image an Vorteilen bringen, bzw. reicht der Auslieferungszustand nicht aus?

@ScienceofLogicTV Na klar gerne doch: this one is upgraded and improved: * more ported games * more emulation systems * newer firmware version ArkOS 2.0 * more and improved themes * sorted out broken games * improved emulator settings in terms of video and performance * supports more than 15 retro gaming handheld devices * supported by www.mashtec.online community

how to install game mame

[@MashTec]

Hi dude, you can just copy the roms to the MAME Roms folder on the device and start it from the main menu.

Looks like a SNES controler. Is unable to run SNES games properly. Scumbag handheld. Joke aside, you get something decent for the price.

[@MashTec]

Yes, it's sad that SNES performance is lagging a bit. Most titles run fine, but demanding titles like Yoshi's Island lag of performance. Still, i have a new video out that shows how to install Multicore to this device and it comes with quiet a few improvements for this device.

Some games are unplayable.
