Sailing close to the wind on this one. Awesome video Wicked. Onto the next one, so lets a go..

[@Cheesey421]

Imagine how cool it would be if they release an android handheld with a newer more reliable android, under $75 maybe a retroid pocket 2 plus but thats like $125

[@guardianbeardizer6361]

I'm really wanting a Retroid Pocket 3, but waiting cause I know as soon as I get one they'll come out with a 3+

[@Cheesey421]

@@guardianbeardizer6361 Lol thats true im waiting for a retroid pocket 3+ too but it would probably be like around $180 since regular is like $150

[@jnharton]

Would rather see a custom Linux than Android, honestly. Although Android at least has a well designed mobile UI right out of the box.

[@duke45jp]

@@Cheesey421 It'll happen soon. These handheld companies are catching on quick. Powerful mobile chips are becoming cheaper. That's all we need. Power and software.

[@therealtecktonik]

@@guardianbeardizer6361 I ended up getting the powkiddy x18s and I gotta say I'm glad I did over the 3+. It's an amazing android handheld with decent chip set perfect set up for ts button mapping.

[@scottk.5930]

Scored one of these at a bin store. $14. Awesome little item, I hope it can handle other controllers and HDMI without tanking. Take it on the road, or hang it off my retro arcade controller box. Very easy retro arcade build for a non-techie.

[@RealziesCuts]

One day one of these will be good, The HDMI port out is a must and I can’t believe they have it on an item in the $60 range this one actually does seem way above average. The link works too 🏆💫 Can you use an external controller for player one or do you have to only use the system?

[@georged7627]

The X series have come along way 🙏🏽👍🏾

[@Gaming-Enthusiast]

Cool pickup 👍👍

[@mrpigx]

Great review. I have a question about an other retro console. The Mini SNES clone from Ali that is a One to One copy. Did you ever open it up? There is a hidden SD card slot on the board.

[@nul1fe]

wish there screens didn't have dead pixels also, but at least it seems like they are starting to move forward

[@gomigang2875]

Guess I was lucky I have 8 diff Chinese emulators not one dead pixel.

[@SaranyaPLAY]

Not bad for performance and good price!👍

[@alpmaster0076]

I love your videos brother ❤️

[@fonzitheman]

Looks they were on the right track with a few features on this one but then gave up mid way through and thought "meh, this will do lets release as it is" 😁. To bad. Its mainly the set up/ performance that lets this one down.

[@criptin4075]

I feel like the hdmi cable kind of hinders the comfort-ability with these devices. I wish those usb ports allowed wireless controller dongles. I mean a regular wired controller would be better than holding the handheld itself but I'm guessing the compatibility of what usb controllers you can actually use with it is limited. I doubt it supports all the various types of wired controllers but I can't say since I don't have this model. If I knew you could run a wireless controller through the usb I would probably buy one. Do you happen to know if you have to buy specific usb wired controller for this model? Would love to know since it seems like the ideal way to play it on the big display.

[@deepfakestudio7776]

it has a nice design at least

[@NathanielAlvarezJr]

This is a little step up for the x series

[@michaeladams9807]

2 speakers 😱 👍👍

[@aaronrandolph2530]

Hey, Wicked - this is the second video I've seen where you've had trouble with the search, and I'm wondering if the problem might be that the search is case-specific - see, you always search "sonic" and I wonder if searching "Sonic" with the S capitalized might return better results? Even if so, that's not great, but it would at least get around the problem.

[@JustPeasant]

Better than PowKiddy X70. Still, if you want a more rounded up product, one must lighten up his wallet more than this.

[@SonicLoveEmulation]

Way better than the x70

[@fonzitheman]

Dont do it Sonic Dont get one lol

[@av3y]

Nice :D i didnt find the device in my country :( bad luck

[@srvuk]

Only 65 million years in the making to get something almost there. It is certainly light years on from so much crap that has been produced in this budget area. Agree about swapping the D Pad and stick. Whilst there seems no way to make changes to adjust audio for MAME etc, I suspect that this could become a very popular item, which may then draw the attention of developers who might look to see if it possible to create modified firmware to get the best out of it. The rise in gaming handhelds and the quality required to keep business's alive will ensure that these low end devices having to finally improve in order to maintain any interest at all.

[@fonzitheman]

They were on the right track one this one but gave up mid way through I think 😁

[@srvuk]

@@fonzitheman Indeed, just a little more focus and it could fly off the shelves in far greater numbers than it may well still do so right now.

[@paulkramer1882]

Hi wicked. I wonder which handheld is better. The powkiddy x20 mini or the x51. They seem similar but which one would you choose between the two?

[@dttung80]

Thank you a lot for this video, I think I will buy one. Cheap and power. Except the small controller. And I think I will download and add more games. Thank you. ❤ Edit: I can not see the 3.5 audio jack or bluetooth to connect handset. I will read more from internet.

[@mohamedsh4093]

What is the name of the small piece which shift the game to the monitor?

[@Radean1]

Can you add your own games/ROMs?

[@jefsilva23]

some of the reasons I ain't getting one of those powkiddy X-series is the battery replacement is being a little impossible because you can't find it easily to purchase, any problems with the battery you almost done with and have to buy another one or save your money to purchase something better

[@fonzitheman]

True They are basically throw aways

[@MegaTerryNutkins]

The problem with all of these devices is always going to be the locked down OS, the stolen emulators are there for good unless it gets some community attention and with the proliferation of more open devices the interest isn't really there. These handhelds aren't made by people who are interested in using them. Even going back to the Dingoo A320 days that device was only good because it was hacked to run Dingux/OD and the stock OS emulators were replaced with the Lion_rsm ones. The X series handhelds are like stepping back in time.

[@MeesumZaidi]

can you save game?

[@alessioratti4154]

Hi Wicked, love your videos! I'm looking for the most budget option that can run PS1 at a playable level, with the chance of adding my games quite easy. Screen 3.5 or bigger. Can you bless me with your chinese wisdom?

[@bigretrostudio]

Anbernic RG35XX, RG353V, RG505

[@froggythegamerfrog9810]

I've seen much worse x series devices, good build quality, nice display but sadly the emulation is not perfect for every single system...

[@RealziesCuts]

The more of these videos I see the more I am thanking God that I pre-ordered a steam deck 💫🏆😊

[@joncollins7730]

Looks okay, but why lock the interface?

[@lucassantossj]

After buying the x39, I prefer to never buy another handheld without open software. There are many problems you just can't fix.

[@loringbush1455]

You finally got an excellent console from 🇨🇳

[@mute_ed984]

I wonder since this thing comes with an SD card - can't you just chuck it in a Card--Reader and rename the files correctly on PC?

[@buuggee]

Does it have killer instinct?

[@nyaa104]

So tiny buttons seems difficult for big hands

[@alihassain4443]

Does this handheld have PS1 memory card unlimited?

[@blueplayer6197]

Looks ok but it says 128mb ram on the specs so you can't get even the easiest to emulate n64 games to run (correct me if I am wrong here) Couldn't find any custom firmwares for this either. And it's competing on the same price and same screen size with the ps5000 which you can run batocera on and has 512mb ram and an oled screen. So to me it just doesn't look worth it because of the competition. (even for those not willing to pay double for a retroid 2+) What's your opinion here? does this have any relative advantage over the ps5000?

[@fonzitheman]

I believe the PS5000 has 256mb ram. And the X51 has a diff aspect ratio screen, 5:3 I think whereas the PS5000 is 16:9. Not sure on the cpu on this one but if you cant install any custom firmware then you are stuck with whatever emulators and performance it has. Although I like the aspect ratio on this one Id defo take the PS5000 cause at least you can use Batocera on that making it sooooo much better.

[@blueplayer6197]

@@fonzitheman It says 256mb on the box but you can look at the specs in retroarch and it will say 512, it's like the one time the random lying about specs is actually in your favor. The important thing here is that games like mario kart and mario 64 work good on it where they don't on ps7000 which really does have 256mb. (running batocera 35 beta, never tested with previous versions)

[@fonzitheman]

@@blueplayer6197 Ah yes, I believe you are correct on the PS5000 actually having 512MB RAM 👍 I actually ordered myself a black PS7000 (should arrive soon) only because I can use Batocera on it, and I love larger screens. I have a 5" screen handheld, the Powkiddy RGB10 Max so defo dont need the PS5000. Also to bad the PS7000 doesnt have an IPS screen would have been so much better, but hey, for its cheap price Batocera should make it a decent buy. I would never have touched one otherwise 😊

[@christopherowens2635]

I received my x51 today. I noticed you must insert 2 usb controllers to enable second player. Otherwise inserting one controller will only allow you to play as first player. The other dealbreaker is some games that have 6 buttons to play, the system only allowed 4 buttons to play with. For example, classic Street Fighter 2 uses six buttons total; 3-punches, 3-kicks. Well, the system only gives you 4 buttons total. I’m sending it back for a refund.

[@zockeromi1970]

This just needs a better software (yes it's something to cry about - would be so easy)

[@fonzitheman]

If Batocera would be available for it it may have been an OK cheap pick up.

[@ioangabriel8200]

Maybe open dingux... I saw on the net someone replace this soft with op ding.

[@chatters7969]

How many consoles do you now own and where do you store them all? Id love to own this many however think I would be divorced by now

[@chatters7969]

@retrojason yep deffo, a video showing all the consoles you have, that’s of course assuming you don’t sell them after the review?

[@ryyanmahmood6221]

Can this thing play pokemon?

[@shadowreaper5413]

Does it have silent hill

[@TheGreenMarksman]

could just splice in battery

[@dilshanchathuranga3988]

We can add gta geme ?

[@fm-retrogamemaster]

No SMS or GameGear play?

[@lucassantossj]

Sadly no. This software is so limiting.

[@jacobbaranowski]

Almost foold me switch nock off

[@diomaiaal]

If only they use another kind of software that can be modded. Retro devs community will turn this thing 100 times better... When they will learn....?

[@fonzitheman]

If we had Batocera for it then it may have been worth a pick up for its price.

[@sunnykapoor222]

Does most of the games work in this

With china it's a hit or miss.
