Greetings Vita Comrade, I saw that you were playing Hollow Knight at one point. What version was this? An android port?

[@ZealousChuck]

​@@aaronkemp7789yes android port

[@peyotewild5217]

I Hope in a CFW because on AliExpress i see that at 130$, and It's so much for this price!!! (But i dont like that rp3+ have a Better optimization so....i cant decide right now 😢 )

[@aaronkemp7789]

@@peyotewild5217 I just bought an Ayn Odin, and I love it. Of course, the Odin 2 was announced right after I bought it. 🙃

This one looks really great! Thanks man.

[@ZealousChuck]

Definitely looks interesting🔥 Thaks for watching 🙏🤝🤘

[@jareksmith6624]

Interesting device and cool video🔥 Looking forward once they start to put inside the new, more powerful chip. I might buy it then👍

[@ZealousChuck]

Looking forward to that day too🙃 Thanks for watching 🤝🙏

[@FORTEtheSECOND]

I appreciate the info. I am also glad you're expanding the range of your coverage, sir. =)

[@ZealousChuck]

Im glad you like it🙏🤝🤘 I am trying to broaden the range of my content in a way so it is still interesting for my hardcore fans as well as for newcomers

[@onkelhiphop]

This might be the one I was looking for🤘😎

[@Z3RN0]

Good review. Thinking of buying this at some point.

[@ZealousChuck]

I wish there is a custom firmware available for it

[@TheGamesZilla492]

development on the vita emulator must continue as one day there will be no vita that still work, and this emulator will be the only way to play them

[@ZealousChuck]

Im loving it🤘🔥 even on this lower powered devices

[@MajlisIlmuTamanSyurga]

I agree ,my modded vita is dying

[@parmaman8551]

Only thing what worries me about these cheaper devices is that they're normally a health and safety hazard

[@ZealousChuck]

😀 that holds true for all cheap Chinese products

[@parmaman8551]

@@ZealousChuck Realistically, is the only reliable portable emulator of ps2 games the steam deck?

[@ZealousChuck]

Right now realistically Handheld PCs and phones. Soon something like odin2

Thanks for sharing your video! What is the configuration you use in Aethersx2? Aethersx2 does not recognize the analog sticks on my Powkiddy X28.

[@wilsonalmonor2819]

For the price this handheld is a beast.

[@ZealousChuck]

Not a bad deal..plus there might be even some discount code🙃

[@gogamegeek6828]

🔥🔥🔥

[@ZealousChuck]

🙏🤝🤘

[@amrforever]

Hi, I ordered my unit and waiting for it. Do you see a calibration option for the analog stick in the settings menu? As I am planning to replaceit with Guikit. Also, do you recommend me doing that? Also i need a download link for the official latest software, i can't find it anywhere? 😅

[@kerambeach]

I preorder an odin 2 to go with the vita. Next step is ps3 emulation and 5 hours battery life.

[@ZealousChuck]

I ve been looking at odin 2 as well. I haven't preordered it coz the shipping time is always bit worrying

[@Guitario666]

Want this but only on a biggie sale

[@fabiobezerra9569]

I like a lot tgis device, could you please compare it with the most recent RG 556? Thanks a million!✌🏼🤓🎮

[@Meuh974]

I'm gonna buy the powkiddy x28 cause it have bigger screen than rp3+ and i prefer the modern design. I'm not into the retro style boxy handheld.

[@ZealousChuck]

Not a bad device but rp3+ is also good machine

[@jonathanpedros3336]

Ah make me confuse, so which is better powkiddy x28 or anbernic RG505?

[@DaGreenDestroyer]

As a ps vita owner, I think some better things that could be added to this machine is battery life, but you don't get that in any low cost price to performance devices. Also a better plastic, but we don't have it on low cost devices too. Also, compared to the rg405m, it's a bit big. We need a handheld that's reminiscent to the vita, as its a reasonable size for these handhelds

[@ZealousChuck]

They're cutting corners everywhere so dont expect best quality and I actually like this size, the switch lite size is ideal for my hands and still kinda pocketable

[@BleakBeek]

Just out of curiosity, would you say a switch lite when modded has the same emulation capabilities as Retroid pocket 3+? even a few ps2 titles? that would be crazy for a chip from 2017. Now as for the x28 its would be really awesome if some CFW would come, especially GammaOS with the retroids improvements.

[@ZealousChuck]

Cfw on x28 would be blast and I think in terms of raw power it isnt on par with rp3+. Check som yt emu vids to see the performance

[@Guitario666]

I think the dpad can be fixed with some capton tape and the analogue sticks could be swapped out too

[@ZealousChuck]

Everything could be improved but at what cost. Actually I dont mind neither sticks nor dpad but I would install new firmware if i could

[@Guitario666]

@@ZealousChuck I agree. If I'm paying this much, it should not need to be modded to be fixed. Did you try Daijisho on it?

[@ZealousChuck]

​@@Guitario666haven't tried it. I dont really need fancy frontends but it looks cool i think i will try it

[@graymars1097]

I've heard good things about this one on KZbin Let's see... although none can replace my PS VITA 😊❤ I don't know why they even try! 😅😂 How is the travel time for buttons? I hate long travel time for buttons. Compare it to vita itself which has the great button travel time 😘 just perfect just like the Nintendo DS....man they don't make them like they used to 😢 You should try this game called the Gardens Between. In high graphics mode, it really works the Android phones resources I think it can be a really good measure of an Android based system's heat reduction systems Great video as always. Thanks for uploading 👍❤😊

[@ZealousChuck]

Buttons are not as good as on proper handhelds, they're trying to save money anywhere they can.. Thanks for watching 🙏🤘🤝

@@ZealousChuck aahhhh good to know, thanks 👍

Ahoj rozmýšľal som že si niečo podobne kúpim... ale ešte váham ked mi to manželka zbadá v rukách ma zabije...ale viac sa mi páči retroid pocket 3 plus.. bolo by super si znova zahrať stare hry z detskych čias...každopádne super video.

[@ZealousChuck]

Preco by ta zabila? Sak si mozes dopriat🙃a neni to az take drahe a da sa natom riadne zabavit. Vyhodou rp3+ je lepsi software ale x28 ma 5.5 obrazovku a asi je aj lacnejsia

[@bogdanpiron]

Play Store functional out of the box???!!

[@augustocordeiro3548]

I love the fact that Borat did this great review for us!!!

[@AntiKipKay]

How do you get it to show the android os with icons? Custom launcher?

They've put there custom launcher. Go to default apps and change it

@@ZealousChuck i have a question can it run Fortnite or cod mobile

[@kenmasters5804]

What's with the battery life?

[@ZealousChuck]

Could be better. I think it dropped like 50% in about 2hrs of high end emulation. Standby mode also could be better

You need to buy chip and solder it which is very expensive
