Hey

[@rchltmedia]

the video is disappeared right after premiere.

[@MarkColemanRules]

The video is fine.. its the device that's crap :)

[@maxz8807]

@@rchltmedia damn they still haven't fixed that weird bug? Honestly I'm impressed

[@Ametisti]

I wouldn't call it crap. I nejoyed it and looking forward to seeing more when the time comes :)

[@darkfalzx]

The aesthetic is somewhat reminiscent of older Sony Ericcson phones. The OS and performance look like hundreds of similar devices from about the same era, all of which you could probably see on a bargain shelf at a local CVS.

[@jasond2831]

Look up a PSP GO. total knockoff of that. It was a handheld that was a discless version of a psp

[@technocody9296]

@@jasond2831 GO work better for some people like small hands. GO has similar design to Vita.

- Mom, can we get a meme? - We've got a meme at home. Meme at home:

those are definitely AOL and Windows 9x sounds. Also as a side note, the noises that thing was making playing pokemon red was making me cry on the inside, it did not spark joy.

[@TakedaZeke98]

I have this bootleg MP5s back when I was in (grade 4 or 5?), and regretfully enjoyed it at the time (as I couldn't afford a proper PSP back then). The contents included are NES roms, some low bitrate mp3s, and either .avi or .3gpp videos. I remember I always return this thing because of its battery 😆

[@runic6452]

If you enjoyed it then y u regret? Lol

[@r4hsn18]

Ngl i like the camera on it, it adds a nostalgic touch to it accompanied by the music.

[@lukasegeling5205]

22:47 "You can play Gameboy Color games on the go if you want." I think there might already be a device specifically made to do that.

[@runic6452]

Dude i loved this console when i was 4! It's my very first console and it was the one who introduced me to gaming in general. My pops bought it to like, be a replacement for a phone as well (cuz it had everything a "smart phone" had back then) cuz we aren't that financially aight to have a decent smartphone. (Nokia 3210 is all we can get for both of my parents so me and my sis have this for games lol) I just found it from the discard cabinet! It sadly doesn't work now so i searched up the model and bam! Came across this vid. My favorites back then was ninja gaiden, chip 'n dale, kamen no ninja akakage and contra.

[@runic6452]

Watched the whole thing and compared it to mine based on memory (i compared the physical components as well) and it's definitely not the same lol. Mine had a different os, different game cpu and i know for sure that mine performs better on general menu xD

[@Rajorsi]

I had a JXD in that same era and it ran the exact same software as this device does, in fact, the music video by Sugar was also preloaded in it as well. From what I recall the camera was a bit better in my JXD though. Fun fact : JXD company website is still live.

[@ericpode6095]

I've got a JXD 7800, good machine for its time but the battery has had it.

[@Rajorsi]

@@ericpode6095 That's cool. Mine never had any issues with it. But, I have lost it now. :'(

[@TommyCrosby]

2GB of storage on a cheapo device in 2008 that also have SD card expansion is kind of unusual, the Nexus One android flagship from 2010 only had 512MB 😳

[@VaunShiz]

Well if it's like most knockoff devices the storage could be a lie

[@TommyCrosby]

@@VaunShiz At 28:01 we see the Samsung K9LAG chip which means it's a 16Gigabits (2Gigabytes) MLC DDP NAND Flash module. Sure it could be a fake chip that has been reprinted with different information, but it doesn't looks like it.

[@TommyCrosby]

@@VaunShiz You can decode the part number yourself if you wish www.elnec.com/en/device/Samsung/K9LAG08U0A+%5BTSOP48%5D/

[@jackwilson5542]

Yeah, that thing was actually pretty decent for its era. All phone cameras produced results like that, hell the 2007 iPhone couldn't even record video. Compared to quality of knockoff devices on the market now, this had way more work put into it.

[@TheRogueBro]

A lot of my old anime rips are in AVI lol. Still on my fileserver and can watch them with Plex!

[@the2323guy]

6:14 that's the windows 98 chimes sound the chimes sound on windows 95 is slightly different

[@seanet1310]

Smoorez, you really watch a BigClive soldering video and get a kit. You know, to live seam for our enjoyment.

[@datachu]

Does this thing actually run like... Some sort of bootleg Windows CE? Maybe it's genuinely modified CE, or maybe just some sort of Chinese Windows CE clone for clones of HP/Palm/etc PDAs that they later decided to repurpose into a PSP clone after the concept of PDAs was pretty much on its death bed in 2008. (I remember around then as a kid I was suddenly from "omgomgomg dad I wanna PDA" to "Meh, PDAs are stupid, I want an iPod Touch")

[@over2seeyer]

I had one of those back in 2007, the menu were different but the hardware identical, sunplus chip, 512mb on board

[@cryptidproductions3160]

Fun Fact about AVI: For some god awful reason that flies in the face of efficiency that's still the only format After Effects exports to unless you use an after-market plugin or route it through the Media Encoder Something baffling because Premiere internally supports encoding other formats

[@muwen1006]

Love your content, just more episodes like this!

[@Turnbull50]

I was watching this this morning and it suddenly disappeared and it went private so I have been waiting to watch it in full. I enjoyed the video.

[@twinklingwater]

Soldering is a very useful skill, you should give it a try. Added benefit: If you "review" your next el-cheapo handeld with cartridge slot, you may be able to extract the contents of the flash chip in the cartridge. This would certainly have been interesting for at least one past video.

[@Trusteft]

I like how it looks, design, colors, love it. I don't like what it can do, even by 2008. Of course it also depends on how much one paid for it when new.

[@vulcanitu2578]

Red PSP looks dope

[@itemushmush]

The camera shots look like Oblivion screenshots!

[@notmyrealname1526]

I'm pretty sure Sony producing MP5 would violate various international laws.

Wonder if it could run emuelec. Cool bit of kit there mate.

The sounds on the menu are the default system sounds of Windows 3.1.

the mp5 device from 2005-2010 era. those are quite expensive in these years before smartphone was born to wipe their existence.

[@MikeStavola]

I have a really, really similar thing to this. Only it's made to look kinda like a cross between a PSP Go and a Sidekick feature phone.

[@der_kluger_gunther8391]

I just loved it from the intro already. I do own a real psp and i put on it the nes, snes, n64 and game boi emulators, also a game pad "program", which allows you to use the psp as a controller. Do not waste money on cheap solutions, just buy the real one. You can do a lot of things actually. Last thing: i loved the video as always💙

[@Dante-fb9ej]

Usually those cheap, knock off handhelds look decent enough, but this thing looks HORRIBLE 😂

Hidden switch maybe turns off the speaker when you plug in a headphone? Unless if the jack sockets have the usual mechanics to do so, and the jack even reach that far.

[@austingrace1]

I had a hilarious scammy mid roll ad in this one. A magic USB device, which can speed up your PC far cheaper than buying a new one. I was so funny I actually watched all of it. It was a Linux boot usb drive!

[@Azuz1.9.9.7]

I now own exactly the same piece that my dad bought for me in 2009 At a price of 46 dollars, when I succeeded in the preparatory stage, and so far it works well, except for the microphone, the speaker, the power button, and the battery charge that does not last for more than 10 minutes. I operate it by connecting the charging socket Also, there are MP4 files that do not appear on the laptop. Can you help me?

For zoom with photos try a lower resulotion. Many devices can't zoom in the "high" res. but can in low

[@niel546]

I had one back in 2007, it played nes games, didn't realize it played gb games until now

[@RealEpikCartfrenYT]

Back in 2008/2009 (I was 5 at the time) i had a mp4 player that had a similar UI. I don't think it had a camera tho. All I know is that it was orange and that I broke its screen by sitting on it.

[@LastofAvari]

Oh, the freshest memes ;) Great video as usual.

You should give a lil bit of soldering a try sometime if you haven't already. I'm not that good with it, but got a cheapy soldering iron when some of the caps blew in my OG Xbox and managed to fix that up without issue.

[@kbhasi]

Wow. I actually used to have one of those in the early 2010s when I found it in the trash. The one I found even had pirated Game Boy games, if I recall correctly.

[@brandontechnerd]

How much storage did it have, and does it still work?

[@kbhasi]

@@brandontechnerd I can't remember, but it had probably around 2 GB of storage, a lot of pirated Game Boy and Game Boy colour games, and someone changed the power on and power off graphics to look like Windows XP, probably because they couldn't afford a real UMPC at the time and their parents randomly bought it at one of those bazaar things (or at some random mall kiosk) here in Singapore and gave it to them. It died after just 1-2 weeks after I picked it up. Edit: My thoughts were correct, I do remember it having 2 GB of storage.

[@Anaki_Rob]

Have you had a look at the ancient media player/retro gaming device called the Dingoo? I had one ages ago and was quite pleased with it until it died. Looking at this device the Dingoo seems quite superior.

[@brandontechnerd]

Ashens did a review on the Dingoo A320 circa 2009

[@patrickgoodhart9294]

That OS - reminds me of a camera OS from 1997 or so. Notice how the camera looks like a Samsung or Kodak in the menu. I wonder if this is a evolutionary dead end made up of obsolete digital camera guts.

[@flizzycat]

I guess that switch disables speaker when headphones are plugged in

I recently found a galaxy s7 sitting under a pile of trash in the trunk of a car I was pulling parts from at a lock junkyard. I took it home excepting it not to work because it was full of water and was just molding in the humidity. To my surprise it powered on after a long sit on the charger. But I was presented with a Lock Screen. I looked to see if I could get the phone # from its SIM card but all it has was a broken sd card. With no way of finding the owner I reset the device and it ended up being google locked. I’ve tried every tutorial there is and can’t get past setup. It’s a Comcast device. If any1 can help that’d be great 👍

[@capsulate8642]

Compared to a cheap flip-phone and a digital camera from the stone age, I would've loved this in 2008. Gaming probably sucks but with a nice screen, turn-based stuff like Pokemon would be fine. In the modern day I just wish my modded PSP hadn't been broken. Was a lovely device that I didn't use much when I got it in like 2015 for $40.

[@LordVarkson]

You'd have to have been pretty desperate to want one of these at the time. PSP modding was pretty advanced by that point, and DSs were cheap and flash carts were very available.
