PS7000 Handheld in 2022 How Cool Is It Now

[@fonzitheman]

Well, theres an official Batocera build for the PS7000 now. And for the PS5000 and Powkiddy A12/13 (which works with some issues on the X2 and Coolbaby RS18).

[@apollolux]

This was more or less the question I was gonna ask, if it was updateable being Linux-based so the emulation could be improved. Thanks for letting us know there's a Batocera build available! :)

[@youzernejm]

I wanted to say the same thing, could be interesting to see comparison between official firmware and all mighty Batocera

[@johnsmith9205]

Cool, finally something other than Lakka for the Powkiddy A13!

[@pitapitabread]

batocera version 38, 20231014 is available now yay 🤓

[@randomretroplays3123]

I'm actually shocked at how good this system is. I agree an IPS would make this perfect. Still worth picking up in my opinion. Another great upload wicked as always 👍😎🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@fonzitheman]

If it had an IPS screen Id prob get one cause there is an officiial Batocera build for it now. I have a Coolbaby RS18 with reg LCD screen and its really a major letdown.

[@alexandremeloni1176]

I have this one for about a year now, like it a lot. Works much better with batocera (not that simple to install tho, need newer bios that I was not able to find on the official site). Runs N64 fairly well.

[@kici5777]

How do you put your roms on it?

[@alexandremeloni1176]

@@kici5777 I use DiskGenius

[@kici5777]

Batocera v35 does run on my PS5000 but with DiskGenius (on Windows 7) seems i can't find the the sd card. Is there any special command or setting i'm missing? Also read somewhere that it would be maybe good to convert one of the partitions to ntfs(probably where the 'files' are located). Also not sure what advancement that could bring..🤔 Also do you maybe know if some controls must be edited in the cfg file to get a better/working controller layout for N64 games or can this be set on Batocera itself without editing a .cfg ?

[@kici5777]

Tried again and got it to work with DiskGenius. Some recommend DiskGenius Professional Portable.. I wonder what the advantages are. Seems you don't lose much with the free version or are there any restrictions you now of?

[@alexandremeloni1176]

I just burned the img, inserted the sd card in the ps7000 to expand and create the folders, and used diskgenius (free version, dunno if pro has any andvantage) to add roms. All other configs I did trhu batocera menus.

[@NathanielAlvarezJr]

Nice performance, can be recommended.

[@vardonhagan8764]

So what are it's limitations and chipset? Does it handle all PS1 games well? How many games are there? Does it play any PSP games? So many questions Wicked!

[@IslamicStorytimez]

Use your brain You need bigger sd card to store more games. Storage does not expand on its own

[@eldontyrellcorp]

Stock os is crappy. However you can install batocera and it makes this handheld a million times better. For the price (40€), this is a fantastic handheld.

[@fonzitheman]

I never wanted to touch this handheld since it came out but yeah, since there is an official Batocera image available for it now Ive actually just ordered myself one. 😁 I love bigger screens so with Batocera on it I think it makes this cheap 7" handheld worth a buy.

[@GTA_500]

I wish I could do all that stuff.

[@javierrechio9707]

Y que tiene de bueno batocera? Solo es decorado

[@eldontyrellcorp]

@@javierrechio9707 Batocera is a LOT better than the stock os. You can play a lot more systems (spectrum, Amiga, cpc, c64,...). It's a big update and I recommend it.

[@2bstiff584]

I have this the only thing I do not like is the shoulder buttons it hard to hit the inside one on each side

[@unorthdoxcleric6953]

Very true, it needed to be behind or infront of each other.

[@gettin_lit6594]

A decent handheld for a change not bad at all...

[@joncollins7730]

Looks very decent, not a bad price either 👍 Been a long time since I've seen E-swat played, great game!

[@hectormontalvo5565]

WOW! A Switch clone! What will them Chinese think of next? Good review and cool video Wicked!👉😃👈

[@hansgruber1323]

It's not bad but I had little speed issues with games like "Metal Slug 2" and "Contract". It becomes very slow when there are a lot of characters attending.

[@ICHIBANDIPPER]

Hi buddy, have you managed to get pc engine games to work on this? I’m struggling. Thank you. Ross

[@hectormontalvo5565]

Not bad portable handheld!👍

[@nolosenidea8373]

the only retro handheld who i like that, but if you install batocera its a beast!!! (but the people said the ps5000 its the best to install batocera)

[@PhilosophyofGuitar]

Great video. However, it would be awesome if you added the system's name (NES, PS1 etc.) next to the game's name.

[@ninaulic5578]

Hi, I have one myself. I was wondering can I connect it to my pc, like to share the screen?

[@VideoGameXDomain]

You can fix the aspect ratio in options btw atleast my all black model PS7000 you can to full screen!

[@VideoGameXDomain]

Can this play game gear ?

[@Pridetoons]

Will you review the XY-09 Handheld?

[@georged7627]

I've got this it's the big brother to the ps5000 👍🏾🙏🏽I think you can get batocera on this aswell 🙏🏽

[@globolaxpremier2990]

Hello,do someone know where to find the stock firmware

[@nickoldschoolrules52]

I love mine, I just put batocera on it. It xan play more systems, better performance and correct aspect ratio. The only thing is there is a big with the joystick, up is down and down is up. There is some code you can put in a specific folder but in my case it doesn't fix it, I've tried configuring in the menus to reverse it but still no joy. It's a shame because I just can't get on with the d-pad.

[@fonzitheman]

I have the Coolbaby RS18 which also has a reg LCD screen. I know this has an LCD screen too but I wonder if the screen quality is better at all? Wish it had an IPS screen like the X2. Just curious cause now we have an official Batocera image for the PS7000 maybe its worth picking one up. Even though not sure on that screen.

[@nickoldschoolrules52]

@@fonzitheman Honestly, the screen is very good even though it's not an IPS. The batocera image I have works but I've had to put a manual code into the config file to fix a bug in the controls, but even then up is down and down is up with the analogue stick which makes it unplayable for now until they fix it. There is a newer image of the batocera file, I think its batocera 35 but its a beta build. It may fix those bugs but I'm not sure. It's a good console and I like using it when I want to use a bigger screen but I sometimes wish I'd have waited a bit longer and paid a bit more and got a more powerful device where the support is stronger like the RG552 instead for example.

[@fonzitheman]

@@nickoldschoolrules52 The RG552 is good but still a little expensive for what it is, besides, my sweet spot for handheld is 7".😊 Thanks for reply though, as I said for the cheap price the PS7000 is and the fact we can put Batocera on it now may make worth while picking one up. 👍

[@nickoldschoolrules52]

@@fonzitheman Yes my friend, you are right the rg552 is a bit expensive. All I'm saying is that the PS7000 has a control bug when you flash batocera on it. You have to go into the config file and enter some code to fix it. This will fix most of it but the analogue stick doesn't work properly no matter what you do, up is down and down is up. The d-pad is not very good and makes the experience very poor. I would suggest the PS5000, it has a great OLED screen, you can flash batocera on it and you will have to fix the controls in the same way but this time it will work. The only thing I'd say is that in my experience the PS7000 seems to process faster and the battery is a lot, lot better!

[@fonzitheman]

@@nickoldschoolrules52 Not really interested in the PS5000 any mainly cause I already have a 5" screen handheld, the Powkiddy RGB10 Max, running Batocera on it too. 😊 Its good but I just love 7" screens so much more😁👍

[@mrpigx]

Have you seen the Powkiddy X70?

[@radjanpartiman5085]

Where can I find more rom games for this device ?

[@wesleyknight5684]

I like the 5000 more. The screen is better

[@VideoGameXDomain]

Anyone know if you can add Game Gear and Atari 2600 by the default SD Card?

[@oftheone1856]

But how do Final Fantasy 7, 8 and 9 run?

[@VideoGameXDomain]

Can you add more storage bigger sd card ?

[@Funewter]

Does this save data or does it use save states...

[@Infosuprema]

Have Metal slug??

[@zockeromi1970]

This was not too bad actually

[@antonyrodriguez5621]

Thanks WCG! Gonna get one of these. What CPU does it comes with?

[@fonzitheman]

Cortex A7 1.3ghz quad core 256mb ram.

[@antonyrodriguez5621]

@@fonzitheman Thanks for the answer! Got one of these and installed Batocera. It seems a bit slow to boot the OS and load the games. In any case, the older games (the ones I play) work great. Also, sometimes I have to turn it on and off twice for the OS to boot for some reason. The big screen makes for a great playing experience. The only downsides are that the thumbpad sometimes get stuck (not sure if it's software or hardware issue...will look inside at some point), and the battery could last longer (this can actually be switched out). Great for the price (and if you don't a small amount of fiddling after installing Batocera).

[@fonzitheman]

@@antonyrodriguez5621 Actually ordered myself a black one simply cause of the fact you can use Batocera on it. (Should arrive in the post soon). Would never have touched one otherwise 😁. Oh, is there a larger capacity battery available? If you ever do change the battery, let me know how it goes (if you remember 😁). Alos, how do you find the screen? Only thing I wasnt sure about is the non IPS screen but I figured since these are pretty cheap I may as well get one, as I love larger screens. ☺️

[@antonyrodriguez5621]

@@fonzitheman The possibility of installing Batocera is what did it for me as well. The screen is great in spite of it being non IPS. WCG's video shows that the battery is easily accesible; will post a reply if I ever get around to doing anything to it (and remember).🙂

[@fonzitheman]

@@antonyrodriguez5621 Just received mine. Looks good in black, doesnt feel as cheap as I thought, I expected worse.The Coolbaby RS18 does feel a bit cheaper quality wise. Speakers sound fine. The screen yeah, it is OK.. Still looks pretty sharp and clear . Keep in mind the price these are so cant complain. I only paid usd $62 posted to AUS. Still, if this had an IPS screen it would have made this so much better and a very good cheap 7" handheld. Stock UI is serviceable but will be doing some Batocera testing, as thats why I bought it. But you know, for the price I paid for one, Im happy so far. Watch out steakdeck and Odin.. The PS7000 is out to get you lol😉

[@VideoGameXDomain]

Anyone know if you can put a bigger sd card in this more than 64gb

[@sonicsonicj5472]

How do you translate the games from Chinese to English?

[@wickedportablegaming]

Not, they added files to there with chinees text. Replace files I think is the best option ? Or you want to re-name every file ? 😵

[@GTA_500]

Mortal Kombat komplete what system is that on?

[@fonzitheman]

Not sure he has the correct as its looks like either Mortal Kombat Deadly Alliance or Tournament Ed for the Gameboy Advance.

Never. Even Batocera does not support PS2 on the PS7000.
