Is this the best deal in emulation right now?

I've been told that the Powkiddy X55 is a great value for what it can handle (N64, DS and PSP emulation). But my experience raises some questions...

This was my first physical emulation device that wasn't a PC and I love it so far. I've mainly been using it for GBA, DS, and the occasional simple PSP titles like Patapon. It just feels better to me to play handheld games with a handheld instead of on my PC. I can't explain it. Maybe it's nostalgic or something.

I love how he shows the lag and everything unlike other youtubers that obly show the good stuff

After thinking about it a bit, having L3 (left stick click) as the cursor press button makes a ton of sense when you consider that using R3 would cause the cursor to move, and make it insanely difficult to either click and drag, or draw.

When they do come out with clamshell emulators, I hope they allow us to use the bottom screen for efficient music apps while playing single-screen games up top.

I love how the first game shown is Perfect Dark.

A digital masterpiece that will forever stand the test of time. And having it set in the year 2023 makes it so nostalgic.

My dream machine would be the X55 design, 405M hardware, and RP 2S joysticks

“Imagine if your phone started playing music every time you unlock it”
Oh man I used to have Wii music set up on my phone for some apps and the home screen I missed those days

[butterccm]

Vertical could be cool, DS and Arcade emulation would be great

[snart]

Totally agree with the $100 price point observation. Puts you in a strange spot where most/some things work. I want things to either work or not.

I installed a plugin just to play music on my steam Deck home screen.
Not sure why your mistaking the lack of this for a convenience, people really want to play music on their handhelds home screens to add personality and theming.

We didn't leave it behind out of dislike. Nobody asked for Nintendo to disable music on the 3DS, it was the best part of having 3DS themes and I have no idea why you would even dislike it unless you couldn't change the music.

It’s so strange we don’t have clamshells. Back when I used my Odin more, I used to use a GameSir X2 on it so that I could hold the console vertically and play DS that way lol

This is why I get so nervous when wanting to buy one of these products. I just watched retro gaming Corps video on this system and he got a lot of those games to work just fine without doing anything I believe but in this video they run like crap. These systems seem so hit and miss.

I'm just here for the embedded ads, they are so good!

[kamikazehansu]

Its weird how the PSPGO that I gave some work over 10 years ago still performs better than these more expensive devices.

[neandertalac]

I bought it recently and I can say - it has some quirks, but overall a great device. Even a few PSP are playable, incredible!

[DannerBanks]

I think the Retroid Pocket 2S is the one to get under $100

[tristarsilver]

I completely agree. For pre-PS1 games I got myself a miyoo mini and RP4pro for everything else.
Now I’m thinking about getting an additional Retroid 2s. The 3x4 screen is ideal for Nintendo consoles + it comes in indigo color, like my GBA.

Your dog was terrified during ad recording, hope that you will grant him some awesome snacks for his hard work :)

7:48 The best DS and 3DS emulation for me is on the original Surface duo. Two big beautiful Screensaver, and Effortless emulation of the console.

[Shventastic]

I can't put into words how much I dislike asymmetrical joystick placement. I say that as someone who has played his launch day switch lite daily until the Steam Deck was released.
