Really cool to see how in the span of 2 years we went from "tons of garbage cheap famiclones" to "approaching the ability to play n64 full speed with dual analog, plenty of buttons, a killer screen, and super cheap price" Wonder if we'll start seeing a surge of indie devs hop onto developing for these eventually? That'd be really cool. Definitely a market for it.

Not so sure about this "progress". I bought a Dingoo A320 like a decade ago and it does everything this thing does except emulating n64 and psx, and the screen was also that low resolution 320x240 back then. Is there a leap? For sure but a ten year leap? No way. We didn't even have smartphones back then, and the ones we have today are much more capable than this console , have a better and higher resolution screen, longer lasting battery and, besides, do a whole lot of other things. You miss the physical buttons? Just buy a compatible controller. I understand that it's neater to have buttons and screen on the same device, like a well built console. But I certainly don't see the deal on buying this cheap Chinese consoles that haven't changed in more than a decade

@@Linkale_ I mean, if its 60 bucks or below, thats genuinely not a bad deal. I use android though and dont necessarily see the point in getting one when my phone probably runs better and more efficiently than this thing. The fact that its a a more "neat" way to play compared to attaching my phone to some sort of controller with a clip, is definitely more appealing. But imo, android is the way to go when going down the emulation route.

@@_boof English is not my first language xD, but you know what I meant: it just feels better to hold a console that holding some device attached to some other device. But I'd swear my old dingoo was also priced around 60$ all those years ago. The tecnology hasn't really got any cheaper? We are literally throwing away old phones which are still perfectly serviceable just because they went obsolete. I think some chinese company could get a couple hundred thousands old Samsung Galaxy and repurpose them as emulation consoles.

The bottom right of the IPS screen is also very dull / faded... Looks like a faulty unit... But would cost too much to return to china recorded post...

Thanks for the video!! OPINION ON COLORS: I think one color option needs to be opaque black with or without another color as an accent/button color. The purpose being to give an equivalent to "cinema mode" on a video player where all around the screen is pitch black to allow all focus to be on the game screen without the color or design of the handheld causing any distractions from immersive gameplay. I think the smaller the device, the more important this is.

It looks neat and good quality. A pity they always put the analog stick so near to the border on the corner, it’s very uncomfortable for the thumbs. It would be a lot better if they put it more in the inner side and a little higher too, near to the left side bezel of the screen, just as in the PSVita, good also to leave free the space for using the D Pad without having to avoid touching the stick.

So quick question: Is there a need for such a product on the market? What advantages does this have over buying a used PSP or vita (besides saving $20-30)? The Sony handhelds are solid emulation devices with great displays, and over a decade and half of software development tailored for the specific hardware. Why should one consider this instead (besides saving $20-30)?

the main problem with this console is the conductive adhesive for button A,B,X,Y. In other words, if you press gentle (you hear the click) but there is NO CONTACT with the board, so you have to press harder to get a connection !!!! it is very frustated. Any suggestion ?

Hi Taki! Does it have rumble? I own RG350 and it has now become my number one choice in playing my favorite PS1 game, Vigilante 8 2nd Offense due to the vibration feature. :) Also, although most PS1 games admittedly don't require a right analog stick, this particular component becomes extremely useful for shmup games (running on FBA) that utilize TATE mode (i.e., vertical/portrait screen where you physically rotate your console 90 degrees ala-Nintendo Switch) like DonPachi, Batsugun, and Espgaluda to name a few. Yes you can play them in landscape but as shown in @0:18 for DoDonPachi, you do lose some screen real estate. But in fairness I think this has a more premium build than the RG350 and looks to have a better IPS screen. I also own the GPi Case and I personally think its screen is more vibrant than the RG350. I love them both though!

Been looking for a new emu device. Had some no name one and it got wet some time ago. Had an itch for the classics lately and pre ordered after watching your vids. Was looking at the RG350, but couldn't get past the analog position. I also quite like the color scheme for the Pocket Go 2. Couldn't pass up for the price. Thanks for the reviews!

I bought one of those spare batteries from the link you provided and the battery was too big. Same model and everything, but it was larger than the slot. The battery that was in the PocketGo is a similar battery to the one you had, but not brand marked like the one on Ali Express.

Taki Udon the battery that came in your PocketGo is the one I got from AliExpress, but the one that came with my PocketGo is different. It’s the same BM20 type, but not brand marked, has English text on it, and is slightly smaller. They must’ve changed the battery slot during production or something. Also, in order to use the Select button during PS1 games, you have to press Select + B. Some kind of legacy issue. Noticed it when I was playing MGS1 and couldn’t bring up the Codec.

I just got mine in the mail couple days ago It's heavier than the rg350 mostly all the games and applications work Apps and emulators that were made for the ding ua320 or the gcw zero work to as long as it's opendingux I like the fact that it has two memory card slots on the front of it one for the OS operating system and one for the external SD I like the fact that it has a removable battery cover With the rg350 you have to take the screws out and the battery is attached to the inside cover either buy sticky tape or adhesive Even though the pocket go only has one speaker it is much louder than the rg350 And you can't beat the price they just raised the price now to $69 or just still good but I paid $59
