This is actually exactly what I was looking for as a retro gaming handheld. 2 Analog sticks and all the trigger bumpers, I play mostly PS1 titles so the addition of all the buttons and sticks really offers me the entire experience. Also I've always liked the vertical gameboy form factor. However, the choice of placing the analogs above the d-pad and right hand buttons is awkward.

Form factor & Size = Yes ✅
Buttons layout = WTF ❌
That "reasonable price" quickly hiked to 100€ after the video came out 💸

I saw one of these advertised on tiktok. It wasn't explicitly listed as this device but it was listed on some weird crystal selling website. I actually had to reverse image search to find out what model number it was. Needless to say im a little skeptical about buying it especially because they're selling it really really really cheap

All these companies need to do better. Slow down releases, give some thought to the ergonomics and LISTEN TO THE COMMUNITY, because generally the community know what they want

I love the position of the sticks being ABOVE the action buttons so that way you're not constantly bumping the analog stick when pressing buttons. However the position of the buttons themselves makes it looks like it's hard to hold on to.

The screen is definitely the highlight of this device and I do like the form factor. I’m just a fan of these type of devices but I am tired of the chipset. At least it’s an option though 🤔

I have one and It’s honestly incredible. I use it at work along with my steam deck ! Love playing old school games I grew up on and this was perfect for me

[lewisgrant]

So i bought this console a month ago. I absolutely love it

[Evercade_Effect]

Glad to see you're back covering retro stuff

[BoReactz]

This was a dope review all the others pooped on this handheld but you kept it honest and realistic so salute to you 🫡

[EverythingbrothersYT]

When you said *I have started seeing this face in my dreams not fun* cracked me up so bad

[peterd]

Thank you for the review. Don’t need one but nice to see what it is.

[jitterycore]

I love the idea of a Game Boy dmg style hand held emulator with two joysticks and four shoulder buttons. Because I don't think you can find another DMG style handheld with four shoulder buttons and two joysticks. Just wish the joysticks and action buttons were the other way around like on a play station controller.Heck a xbox style layout would probably be okay too. It just look too weird weird and possibly uncomfortable with both the joysticks on top, almost like they were trying to make it look like Micky mouse ears for the already weird face.

It does look like they took a page out of the Anbernic playbook and went with two tf card slots. Which is good if you to try out different operating systems without having to re-add your games all the time.

7:10 You keep calling this a "horizontal" handheld. I'm confused.

[ryanbeev]

[ChristofferBergquist]

You seem happier then usual. Good for you man!

[stephenmarshall]

Bought this brand new for £20. Still awaiting delivery. Hoping for some fun with it.

Most of Dreamcast games I’ve tested run pretty well.
Against the opinion, I thought very portable.
Same price as Myoo mini plus and runs more games than Myoo.
Decent chipset, good bottoms and beutiful screen.
