I've been playing the RGB30 for about 3 weeks now. I installed ArkOS. That fixed the battery problem for me. Controls are good and get a bit better after a break-in period. Another plus for me is that you can update JELOS & ArkOS OTA thanks to the WiFi. I also love the fact it has a good Bluetooth connection for earphones and controllers and the output on TV is great too! Crisp 720p. I am playing GB, GBC, Pico 8, NeoGeo Pocket, NES & SNES (both in 7:8 screen ratio) mostly. The screen is absolutely lovely! All in all this is my favorite retro device! Edit: I find the RGB30 very comfortable to hold. It has to do with how tall the device is because of the 1:1 screen.

This Handheld is an insta-purchase for GB/GBC, Pico-8, and TATE Arcade lovers. My two biggest complaints are that this Handheld doesn't have a Touchscreen and the ergonomics are basically a slab with buttons on it.

You know, I think this was the first TechDweeb video I ever watched. You sold me on the RGB30, and while I don't use it much any more (those battery issues, hoo boy) it was the start of the hobby for me. Now I'm up an RGB30, RG ARC, Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, and more recently a Miyoo Mini +. Curse you TechDweeb, do you know how much time and/or money you cost me!? Seriously, though. I've loved every minute of this hobby, and I've got you to thank for that. Here's some Dollarydoos for the Root Beer fund, mate.

Wow. I had completely dismissed the RGB30 since the screen so clearly targets systems I don't play enough to warrant a dedicated device. But your coverage of bezels for 4:3 systems might have hooked me. I just love the idea of displaying the system logo under the game, complete with photo-realistic retro controls. And your coverage of vertical arcade and NDS, adds additional appeal to this device. These retro handheld companies owe you a salary for sure.

Same! I didn't expect to like it for anything more than Game Boy or Pico 8 but the actual screen quality is so Superior to many of my 3.5-in devices. And those bezels make it feel like not such a silly thing to run those games on a screen like this!

I really like that it comes with emulation station and a ton of Roms already setup right out of the box ready to go. That’s a huge plus because then I won’t spend 10 hours managing a library and configuring when I could be playing. You also sold me on the gameboy and mame shmup emulation, looks insane on this device. That screen format is so cool but the only reason I’m not crazy about it is the d pad looks really bad from your video. Wonder if there’s a fix for it?

I was having lots of fun with it, unfortunately when I updated JELOS I started having sound issues. I decided I would go to the red zone and reset the device, when I did my game card was wiped clean. I have no games anymore... I am trying to find a torrent with the game card contents but I haven't been able to get it :(. So know is just looking for the games and setting up the card which is exactly what I didn't want to do. But it still a good device, I am just such a noob...

Thinking of increasing the processor a bit (using the RK3588 instead of RK3566) to tackle the last glitches in some emulators, adding touch capability to the screen (would be so nice for DS games at first but not only), and maybe an extra accelerometer... these won't increase the price much and it would make a perfect product that will nail the competition!!

Hey another Canuck reviewer like Joey. Subbed. Powkiddy, of all companies, hit a homerun with this handheld.

i think I'm sold just on the Pico 8 alone. I have gotten into Gameboy dev but the Pico intrigues me enough that I might look into developing for it. All the more reason to consider grabbing this system!

I got my RGB30 finally. That screen is something else. So many old school games look amazing on it. I've got Marvel Super Heroes playing right now and it fills out the screen so nicely.

Is the Powkiddy RGB30 more powerful than a Miiyo Mini Plus? How do i know which PS1/N64 may run on the RGB 30?
@TechDweeb
@TechDweeb 9 ай бұрын
Definitely more powerful. Every PS1 game will run fine. Just the 10% hardest N64 games won't run well.

My RGB30 is on its way. One quick question. Does it include game gear roms? Or generally can it also play game gear? In all the videos I’ve watched, I haven’t seen it anywhere. Only genesis and things like that.

Can you review the RGB10 max3 pro? It has mixed reviews and has been slowly sounded like its coming around. But at 115 is it worth the price for performance.

This, the Retroid Pocket 2S... just so many choices. At @7:39 you mentioned a retro handhelds discord -- I see and joined your discord but I'm assuming this is a different server? And does this mean, ultimately, you're not running the software that came with the device? And like others, I, too, am interested more about this pico-8 I have never heard of before.
@TechDweeb
@TechDweeb 9 ай бұрын
Yeah, Retro Handhelds is a different server. They are a huge community with a ton of enthusiasts, if you ever need help they're the best choice discord.com/invite/retrohandhelds And yeah, I have the latest official Jelos. The version that came with the device isn't what I'm using. I'll get a Pico8 video on the way!

Do you think would be an upgrade from RGB20s or not really ? I mean, NDS looks great on this big screen
@TechDweeb
@TechDweeb 9 ай бұрын
It has the same performance, so I wouldn't call it an 'upgrade', but it is a lot better for many systems because of the amazing screen. Probably not worth getting if you have an RGB20s but I'm glad I have both because they're both good at different stuff.

My unit had issue with R2 and L2 so I'm returning it, they are very stiff (no movement at all) but they do register a press when they are clicked most of the time. Not going to risk it so it is getting returned and I'll order it from Powkiddy directly instead of from a third party.

The x55 had a battery issue, it would show it was 130% and drop to 80% and stay at 10% for hours. It seems they introduced a patch to fix it so the need to open it up to fix the battery issue wasnt needed anymore.
