The handheld I've been waiting for! (Powkiddy V10 Review)

For real what were you waiting for I subbed after the first video, hus presentation is great informative, entertaining, and very well edited, he's doing a great job I think he had been on about a year or so when I subbed, I was shopping for a handheld emulation system and his videos helped me so much. Glad to have more join the Dweeb family.

[@arielcarrillobuzo9916]

This review tempts me very much. I was actually considering the sp because of the nostalgia and it's travel friendly form factor, but now I may have to consider which one to pick. Also, the screen is the main reason I love to play GBA games on my RGB30! I still marvel at 3x perfect interger scaling GBA games on it, they look incredible! (and I honestly don't find black bars on top and bottom as off putting as on the sides, for some weird reason). Thanks for the dweebing Mr video.

The V10 and RG35xx SP arrived at the same time at my doorstep. I load GBA roms exclusively on both. I can't stop playing this while my SP remains almost untouched.

[@gandheeznuts4893]

So the V10 is better than the RG35xx SP?

[@JasonMiller-rp8cp]

The SP has been my PS1 device mostly...so this makes some sense to me.

[@georgepierre3594]

SP is nice to fit in ur pocket or trip. But i prefer the miyoo mini+ and v10. Also prefer membrane dpads thats why.

[@KrazyShark]

This is my fav device of the year. The controls / buttons are just so so nice... And the triggers (after a bit of RG35XX SP tape mod fixing to quiet them down cause yeah they're quite clicky, just put tape over the microswitches) feel amazing too. Mister Dweeb, if you want to open it up be careful even with a plastic guitar pick, it will scratch / dent the plastic and it's pretty hard to remove at first but yeah it gets easier after a bit. The V10 is so comfy to hold and the overall look of it is just lovely. I even ordered a purple one cause I love it so much. For around 40$ you get an amazing GBA machine with extra consoles to play. Definitely need interpolation shaders for Gameboy / SNES and the likes cause yeah it looks pretty ruff without. But yeah this will do very well while I wait for a SP clone with these buttons :)) Perfect review, cheers ! (By the way, do you have a BMO shoulder bag ? I saw one on Aliexpress for like 7 bucks and thought about you)

[@TechDweeb]

Haha I have 3 BMO shoulder bags :P

[@marfan2007]

I'm in love with my Flipzizzle, and waiting anxiously for my V10 to arrive... And now that you mentioned that BMO bag, I thought 'bout buying one for myself on AliExpress... But it's a no-no for a 40+ guy that works in an emergency room 😢

❤ Hi, Dweed, I love your vibrant video footages! By the way there actually is an old but still strong device that's even better suited for GBA - it's Anbernic RG351P (especially if we talk about a purple version with white buttons) It also has 480x320p screen, and that screen is slightly better than this one. The same processor and ram 🐏. It has HDMI and two sticks, volume wheel, double stereo speakers, bigger battery, wi-fi chip inside and it's more comfortable as it is horizontal. Don't you have one?

Nice review (ad usual, of course). I love your humor. I'm thinking it would be nice a video about "video correction" shaders: not just for adding scanlines and other stuffs, but for interpolation, pixel balancing, etc...to teach us how to get a better quality image. What do you think about?

[@DisavventureInBici]

Just saw the linked video about integer scaling, very interesting. But, since I (quite) always use 1:1 PAR and bezels, I think I can don't mind to it :) But good to know. Probably I'll set pixellate just for having the possibility to play other than gba games on v10, in the case I went out of home with the v10 instead of miyoo mini plus / A30 and I'd like to play something more than gba.

I have modded mine a bit with some cloth tape on the clicky buttons and a piece of black tape to stop the front power light from showing. I have many consoles like you and I find myself grabbing this little guy for Gameboy Advance just the same. If you own a Gameboy advance the dpad on the v10 is bigger but feels the same and the face buttons are the same size with similar button travel.

[@damiengrief]

The scaling is nice for GBA but too many compromises. Can't complain at the price, but it's hard for me to justify buying any retro device without built in WiFi at this point for box art scraping or retro achievements. And I think the RG35XXSP is pretty damn good for GBA games and is my current go to for that and other systems like SNES and NES.

[@InushiDoggo]

No one is spending all day scraping boxart. Once you have the games you want, you do that once. This can be easily done with an inexpensive wifi adapter. As for retro acheivements, I honestly hate the concept of achievements in game. A good chunk of them are fluff that involves just playing the game. Honestly, beating the game and getting all in game collectibles are the only 2 real achievements. Back in the day, bragging rights were for your real friends at school, not random strangers on the internet.

[@2012JvN]

Achievements are stupid on any system and you can scrape on PC before you put the stuff on the handheld.

The headphone issue you might be having is with microphone inputs. If the headphone jack on the handheld is only for stereo headphones ones with mics built in won’t work properly. You can test this by slowly pulling out the jack from the socket and if you get stereo at a really specific point with no problems that’s…your… problem….

Nope. The SP is 640x480. GBA scaling goes: 240x160, 480x320, 720x480, 960x640, etc (anything beyond that and the pixel density will be high enough that integer scaling is a non-issue).
