TOP 5 Budget Under $79 Gaming Handheld Solutions 🙌

[@LiquidxAngel]

The locked firmware on the XU-10 is an absolute dealbreaker for me. The R36S with a wifi dongle gets my vote out of this list, every time.

[@juice8225]

Appreciate reviews like this. Devices keep getting better and the market is growing like crazy with new clones. Looking forward to seeing what comes in 24'

[@Pridetoons]

Same Here TBH. I can't wait to see what smaller Chinese Handheld producers produce in the coming years.

[@HECTORMONTALVO-le9cn]

They're all so similar with a flaw or two but they're quite good all things considered. But my favorite is the purple one. Good reviews and cool video Wicked!👉🙂👈

[@MountainHomeJerrel]

I hate the X6 because the buttons look so dang delicious, like little jelly candies. And I just want to... just a quick taste...

[@WickedGamerCollector]

😂

[@petrpavlosek4132]

I really appreciate this type of review 👌 In this category of cheap consoles, the R35S and R36S are definitely worth paying attention to 😉

[@WickedGamerCollector]

I wanted to focus this on the 640x480 handhelds. In the end more TOP vids coming up with game box systems etc.

[@petrpavlosek4132]

[@Pridetoons]

The MagicX XU10 is $56 during Black Friday sale. 😁

[@budgetking2591]

damn that was a steal i almost paid that for my r36s@@Pridetoons

[@srikantsahoo3504]

R36s the king👑👑👑👑❤

[@fredrodnick2881]

I bought it over the xu10 cause you said how great it performed, but the buttons are pretty stiff. Sure they work ok but it's a labor to press them. For instance to play baseball advance, you you have to hold and aim the dpad or joystick as you press the pitch button and it's hard to aim it properly. Also not only is the volume level stiff, but it's almost even with the frame which requires accuracy and use of your finger nail and takes a few times to adjust the setting. Other than that it's a pretty good handheld.

[@relaxandsleepmusicchannel5175]

You are always my go to reviewer for retro handheld 😅 your voice is like cool as .. very watchable content and always informative

[@kobrapromotions]

Pretty sure R36s would be 8ohm not 8W, that would be a powerful speaker for a little handheld

[@ShadowMax2K]

Really loved your informative videos, and the top 5 handheld was really helpful. Thank you. 😊👍 Possible to make Christmas special for super console top 5? 🎉

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Yeah we can go wild with top videos on many different topics 😄

[@genejing09]

Thanks for the review. This is very helpful. My wife has wanted a cheaper handheld and this let me know which to buy.

[@Diggy22]

I'm thankful for the X6. I saw the reviews that trashed it, and decided to get a Miyoo Mini Plus instead. ☕

[@secondleasegamer8312]

My problem with the XU-10 is it has locked software. This is a total deal breaker for me. This isnt a nintendo device. Why is it locked? Also, updating the latest ARKOS firmware makes the r36s way more reliable in both psp and dreamcast.

[@budgetking2591]

thx for your comment it makes me feel better about getting the r36s and not the xu-10

[@secondleasegamer8312]

@@budgetking2591 bigest thing is to update to the latest arkos and portmaster build, then watch a guide on loosening the d-pad. Its too stiff out of the box, which will hurt your fingers over time. But its a pretty easy fix.

[@DaveTheSeries]

Taki was able to unlock it and change the OS with some difficulty. From the video it looks like he spammed the back button during a menu and then with difficulty navigated a broken Retroarch menu system where he could only see half the screen at a time. Eventually was able to restore XMB and then a nicer interface. Check out his XU10 review for what I'm talking about. He didn't do a full house too, but I think there was enough in there that I can figure it out and I want to try it. Also the XU10 can be gotten closer to $50ish right now.

[@LogosGaming]

Just want to say taki kind of found a fix for buttons for 36s. it is the same as in the SF2000 unscrew a screw on the pcb the form factor controller gets a lot better. And want to say Also before they get sued by anbernic some vendors are now undercuting other on ali express. There is a war going on If you want a 36s, a 35xx, or a xu10 now os the time

[@fldsmdfr9107]

There is a fix for the sf2000 too? Did taki show it in his review?

[@LogosGaming]

@@fldsmdfr9107 there is a screw on the PCB that If you loosen it the d pad Will BE softer. I found out myself. Even If you alliviate the screws on the Shell Will help

[@dimebag505]

Will get the XU10 at some point or ask santa to get it for Christmas 😅, excellent top 5 list

[@budgetking2591]

some good deals on some good devices lately, i bought the RG35XX for 34 euro shipped from ali.

[@pgr3290]

XU-10 is close to the performance I would want for so little money. Hopefully later in 2024 there will be a version this cheap with a faster chipset that allows N64 and Dreamcast to play better and I'm all in. Something a teeny bit faster than an RK3566 chipset for example should just about manage it

[@methanoid]

No number one timestamp?? Should be 22:53 for those who wanna skip ;-)

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Totally forgot that .. thanks

[@Coincollector81]

Yesterday I ordered the Xu10 256gb edition and I'm hyped about playing it.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

In the end i'm happy with it even the locked software. That d-pad .... OMG ! Curious what you think of the XU10 ! 🦾

[@Coincollector81]

@WickedGamerCollector When I watched you play the xu10 it looks really cool and something I'm going to enjoy playing. Mine is supposed to come in at the first or second week of December. I guess it takes a while to reach America 🇺🇸. Since China is somewhat close to the Netherlands. Your packages might come in faster.

[@stressless8405]

Cant go wrong with the r36s with button mod and os/sd upgrade. If you do this, it is better than the x. I am going to attempt some plastic surgery on mine for a 5000mah-6000mah battery!

[@PrototypeOnyx]

It's a shame that the R36s doesn't have Wi-Fi. Was tempted to buy one, but I'm having second thoughts now.

[@mr.n476]

U only need wifi if u care about retroachievements. If u care about OTA, its really easy to update your firmware if you have a PC without needing wifi on the device.

[@PrototypeOnyx]

@@mr.n476 It also helps with scraping artwork on the device itself, multiplayer/netplay, ftp and so on. It's not a huge deal, it's just disappointing.

[@mr.n476]

​@@PrototypeOnyxtrue. Have u checked that the r36s support wifi adapter like the rg35xx? If it can, then its still not a big deal

[@PrototypeOnyx]

@@mr.n476 Not yet, but I'll look into it

[@pawelosmc]

Buy a chap wifi dongle and you are good. I bought one for 7 usd

[@grantschubach5163]

Emulation is the way to go

[@digitizer3627]

Excellent cheap ada cheap cheap roundup❤. No Pooooowkiddy??

[@Pesticide00]

Can you please recommend me one that has a bit larger screen? Maybe something that you control on the left and right with the screen in the middle.

[@justme-ti1rh]

Thanks great video

[@spartan.falbion2761]

I wonder if anyone has replaced or modified the buttons on the X6? They are extremely cheap on 'a certain Chinese online marketplace'.

[@zockeromi1970]

thanks for the summary

[@chrismayer3919]

Where can these units be found?

[@sharpsteel1986]

The original Rg351p is on sale for about 50$ now

[@alexoxo1]

theyre all the vertical gameboy style. Is gameboy style cheaper to make?

[@dark2deeds]

hi there just wondering if you know how i can fix the r36 screen back in place i was playing last night and the screen fell forward i dont really want to have to post it back and wait three week again

See the teardown with the R36S review. 🦾

[@FabioGnecco]

i wonder how's your collection size now lol more handhelds than aliexpress ! xD

[@WickedGamerCollector]

I don't want to think about it anymore 😂

[@spanellaful]

This helps to make some order in a chaotic market... Hower I think that one day one single product will become standard. Lenovo is the first big player that entered the game. We'll se... It's just too early...

[@adamduffield7782]

Na i prefer to have choices and a competive market. Keeps companies on their toes , dont want the handheld emulation market turning into the home tv console market xbox and sony, just look how unfriendly they have become towards consumers, have to pay to play online, not much innovation and totally closed systems

[@Mwamincey]

Have you done the firmware update on the Ark OS for the R36S?

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Not yet .. did read people there devices where totally messed up 😲

[@xXRustyShacklefordXx]

All these need comfort grips. Not sure how i could comfortably use the thumbsticks with my big hands.

[@Pridetoons]

NGL I'd chuck the X6 out the window if I got it in my hands.

[@chrisd6287]

Do these come loaded with whats shown? Or do you have to load your own roms?

[@manc_editz4356]

they already come loaded, but you can add your own.

[@WILDMUSTANGX]

How can these emulate Dreamcast and PSP, but not PS2 or GameCube? Where can I get one that also has PS2 and GameCube games?

[@MonkeyBall2453]

To play PS2 and GameCube you need to spend closer to $200+.

[@mlmcproductions4191]

Wicked just a heads up. Are you branching out to "Ali Express"? If so I don't understand the method. I was searching "PS2 console". One of your product comparisons was on offer. Over 10 minutes. It compared the "older hand held PS2" to the "2021 PS2". You were pretty critical. Weird sales method. I have a screen capture by the way. Thanks.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Did see they use my vids now and then. Also even when I totally destroy some of these things. 😂

[@MattyHerrod]

@WickedGamerCollector anbernic for several 640x480 units but I get what your saying. The 35xx plus coming soon looks good 👍🏻

[@omarvalderrama1314]

My question is is it ezy to put Tom's for extra games

[@AndrinhoD]

Did you pay taxes on it, when did it stay, how much '%' do you pay in tax?

[@seancarmichael1861]

Surely there are offerings from the likes of Anbernic, Powkiddy, Retroid etc that are superior to any of these "copy" devices?

[@WickedGamerCollector]

I'm waiting that they stop or at least slowing down with releases. So I can make my TOP video for 2023 .. there are to many of these things 😂

[@theidiotgamer4306]

Hmm maybe im the only one that i prefer my modded r36s than my miyoo mini keypad!

I really don’t even know why you bother to making this video considering how the past two weeks you’ve been doing videos on the R 36 as the R 35S and the other one

The goal of this video is to piss someone off after buying the R36S according to his previous video.

i still wouldnt reccomend the xu10 until it gets a better os. suggesting it before that seems like a big mistake imo. especially if people are buying it presuming that it will get os updates and improvements and then if they dont come.....
