Yeah CPS 1&2 are 384x224, not so bad for small sprites but things like SF2 look a bit short not CRT stretched. I think I'd prefer stereo speakers instead of that low end camera. Only thing you could do with cheap outdated cameras is probably using a pair to do some low-fi 3D photos. Hardware is decent but the software seems to be the highlight as emulation was fairly consistent. Same old D-pad matter, please whoever makes these, look at 8BitDo, new products with real D-pads, it can be done and it fits the games better.

[@prulcan]

well.. actual psp seams to be a king for emulation device.

[@KISSbestfan]

Since PS Vita is out of production, it would be the next in line. It has OLED screen, and plays everything that PSP can play, plus you have the addition of Vita games. I get it, that its not anything really special, but it had some cool titles, like Uncharted

[@KISSbestfan]

​@@prulcan its too early to buy Vita cheaply, since its freshly out of production. For now you are right with PSP, since its fairly cheap, plus the soft mod is easy to do and not permament. PSP games can be found cheaply too, well, at least some of them. For example HP5 is a great port, and a great value game, and sometimes you can find it for a few bucks. Same with Driver 76, Asassins Creed etc. But my guess is that in 2020-2021 PS Vita would get much much cheaper.

Mark excellent review just to add, this handheld when I viewed it plays most of the cps1 and cps2 sega genesis on a bin file , gba , gb , gbc, most of the neogeo , nes, snes, and psx, yes psx it needs to be on a bin file , compared it to my psp 1000 game play , it plays well. marvel vs capcom excellent , metal slug x , marvel vs sf, and the most love pepsiman, and karmenrider V3 in japan, I was suprise that they included inside an internal memory of 6g and I only both it for £18.99 in ebay new, I think it can be compared to a pap k3 or rs97 just put the right roms, excellent and its more cheaper

Yes I just got the X6 and it struggles to play the Super Nintendo games! The only three games that work are Crono Trigger Bugs Bunny Porky's Haunted house and the Cyottee vs Roadrunner game! All of the other game emulators on it work just fine! So I give it a rateing of 8 out of ten! Excellent game console with amazing sound and alot of games on it!

[@Bro-cx2jc]

As happy as I am to see this video, I've unfortunately written another essay comment about it XD This one looks just like a physical hybrid of my old X6 (which must have been an older model, and is still stuck on that "updating playlists" screen) and my currently still in use MP5 Player. This one is blue like my MP5 Player (which doesn't say X6 on it anywhere, just MP5 at the bottom with a camera zoom description) but it has the physical button interface of the X6, because the X6 is copying the PSPS while my MP5 Player copies the PS Vita. The buttons, LEDs, ports on top, everything is the same as my X6. Honestly, I'd much prefer the X6 (PSP knockoff) physical design with the MP5 Player (PS Vita knockoff) internal functionality including the appearance of the menus, because just like in your video here, mine also works better than the old X6. Since they're Chinese knockoffs which seem to work randomly different, but I'd like to keep things simple, I just refer to the older model as X6 and the new one as MP5 Player; thus, it seems like you've got an MP5 Player with the shell of an X6, an ideal version. The MP5 Player shell has smaller D-pad and action buttons which don't feel as nice as the thicker buttons on the X6. I had the same camera problem too, not being able to zoom out properly, and I'm glad it's not just me about that stinkin' video option!!! I can see that there's a video reel symbol on the camera's main screen, so maybe it's designed as a touch screen access interface and that's why we can't record video? Maybe that's meant to be the only way to do it, and since the screen isn't interactive, we can't do it. I dunno. Your games ran similarly, too. For me, SFC and Mega Drive games have always been hit / miss, but Mega Drive games have a higher failure rate. Sonic The Hedgehog is barely playable with plenty of skipped frames, Mean Bean Machine is okay but has horrible sound issues, and Raiden Trad moves much too fast with missing frames to be playable. As for Super Famicom games, Chrono Trigger is one I spent a lot of time on, and less time on others. For the most part, every SFC game is capable of running at full speed; they just slow down when you reach processor-intensive areas of the game, like the action screen, or menu screens with too many options. Cutscenes and light option screens run at normal speed, and in the case of some games, even faster than normal. There is one really good option for getting SFC games to run at perfect speed (but sometimes they may go too fast in some areas): just use the European version of the game, not the NTSC version. Because those games are intended for a 50Hz system and optimized to run so, they will speed up on this MP5 / X6 device. Super Metroid runs at 100% perfect speed in PAL format, and it speeds up during cutscenes or item grabs -- it's the perfect ideal way to play the game, boring stuff speeds up while gameplay is normal speed. The NTSC version does all the same, but about 20% slower proportionally if I remember correctly. Well Retro, you've got me wanting to get one of these newer versions now, so I think I'll go ahead and use your link--it's the surest way I think I'll get one just like yours, in that same format. Although I like the black one best, the blue has its own sleek charm to it, and it'll help me always differentiate properly between my three devices; it'll look great, like the ideal combo of them all, not to mention how I once had a black MP5 Player shell with an older X6 functioning inside it. I think it's cool that this is like both of my systems combined into one, with the good halves of both systems used and the bad halves left behind. Thanks for following up on improved X6's. I do like X6 better on the bottom of my device rather than MP5; looks cooler :) Can't wait to see your X12 video, and perhaps I'll be snatching one of those up too. Cheers. PS -- I can tell you, if this one really is all like my MP5 built into an X6 shell -- that the composite video is better than the X6. It's kind of fuzzy looking, but it can be sharpened with the TV settings somewhat, and it doesn't have that blocky, pixelated look that the original X6 did. I can't remember if the old X6 could do this, either, but you can adjust manually the height and width of the AV output, to perfectly match the edges of the screen, which is surprising functionality considering it's a cheap device. This thing looks best on a CRT TV. Only downside is that it has low contrast, so in most cases you'll have to turn up your TV's contrast to make it look normal. The AV cables are a bit odd, usually very short and cheap, but if you try using more common AV cables they usually work (except you have to adjust them so they're not fully in the socket...just weird). It's like they built a specific type of AV cable just to be optimized with this device, the only kind you can fully insert. The AV cabels for the PAP-K III Plus are identical and work perfectly, but they're like four times longer, so they're the best ones to use.

[@detjkimbell]

You are correct about the SNES pal vs ntsc issue. I have the updated x6 it runs every pal game I tested perfectly. This machine does a good job at snes emulation. It suffers with megadrive games and can not keep a stable frame rate. Same goes for the CPS titles, There are frame drops in many games.

[@Bro-cx2jc]

@@detjkimbell I've just ordered the updated X6 myself (hope it doesn't freeze like my original X6!) and also the X12, which should be here in less than a week due to priority shipping from China. Someone said in the video comments that the X12 can play some of the lesser Playstation games, which sounds impressive. I'm really into the X systems (heh, I like the sound of that, better than MP5) and I'm eager to see how much better these newer ones down the line are. PS I wish there was a PAL version of Chrono Trigger.

My very first X6 has the same error. It seems like only the oldest ones have this issue, I've gotten many different ones over the past few years and they're all fine. As far as I can tell, it's not fixable. I tried letting it stay on until the battery finally just fizzed out into nothing (since the unit was frozen it couldn't shut itself down). Then I left it that way for a while, and then charged it back up and turned it on. Still stuck. Seems like no way to fix this thing.

anyone know how to change the button mapping on these via the .cfgb file it generates after you tell it to revert to default key settings?

I imagine you can edit the .cfgb in a hex editor but I can't find any info about it online. Any ideas?

[@Bro-cx2jc]

You can't do it with a file as far as I know, but then again I'm not a master at file editing. To remap buttons, you have to use the L and R buttons to cycle between the options on the input list. Then when you're done, go to the bottom of the list and select save changes or else what you changed will he reverted the instant you leave the remap list. Newer models like the CBRS and bigger X series let you use the up and down arrows to cycle the inputs, but I'm guessing the older and smaller models limit it to L/R in order to prevent accidental remap settings.

[@ahoffman83]

@@Bro-cx2jc my X6 doesn't allow to change key mapping at all. Just tried what you said you can't even scroll down the list or anything. Only thing you can do is select restore default.

Honestly, these Chinese consoles would be quite good if they copied less on design and UI. Imagine having the ability to tool and design a console, not doing fake speaker grills and creating a simple streamlined UI and theme that's not desperately trying to be a VITA/iOS hybrid running in a PSP 3Kish shell. Sure games still would be un-licenced and not legit but with a bit of optimization for emulation, Im sure they would end with a respectable product. Package with opensource cores and no roms, and you end up with a very mature retro console many in the west would be happy to get. There are a few out there like this, many are damn expensive tho. I wonder if there are people out there re-writing their own homebrew OS for these things with improved emulation and a sleeker UI..

I bout this before o knew that it could not take videos :(

PowKiddy really knows how to sell a good GBA emulator! 🙂👍

I don't think this one is part of the Pow Kiddy brand. The X12 is though.

"used the cardboard from another box" my brain: DANGER DANGER, HIGH SKETCHINESS LEVELS DETECTED! One note, you tried .bin and .md files, but what about .gen and .smd files?

[@KISSbestfan]

Renaming .md into .smd works in my console, which seems to be almost the same as this one

[@RetroCore]

Gen files? I didn't even know that was a thing. As KISSbestfan mentioned, renaming the MD files did allow them to work.

[@Bro-cx2jc]

When one file type doesn't work, sometimes renaming it is all I need to do.

[@shashikantpandey1230]

It's amazing

[@manoelBneto]

Geez, it's 2019 and these things still cannot run CPS2 or Neo Geo emulators without frame skipping.

Yep. But back then the box probably had something nice in it.

You can Also play Playstation games in this console

[@Charlie-Cat.]

Double Uh-No bro. how about on your side of your family Mark. Do they play or like video games? Anthony..

[@RetroCore]

My first brother plays a lot. He actually worked for Sony CE for many years then moved on to Warthog games. He was involved in planning one of the Harry Potter PSX games. He's now married to a millionaire so he no longer works. He does play games a lot though. My other two brothers are casual gamers so they play crap like Fifa or call of duty. My sister doesn't play games at all.

[@ZCReborn]

Latest ver. Is x9-s, but I would recommended to you to get real psp or maybe psvita instead of x6. Well it does worth not really enjoyable

[@RetroCore]

There are many of these machines all the way to X18.

I dont care what they say. It is Chinese knock offs!

[@RetroCore]

Indeed they are. I could call the show that again but then I'd stop receiving items to cover. In the past I had to buy everything. I sometimes lost money that way. But now with the name change companies like to send stuff to be covered

[@Bro-cx2jc]

@@RetroCore Your channel used to be called that? Or do you mean what you would call just these particular videos?

[@RetroCore]

I used to call these videos "Chinese Knock Offs". Now they're called "Made in China"
