15:20 Loved the way you handled that part there, feelt very spontaneous and geniune (even funny), keep up the good work! 👍🏻
don't agreed with the "very ugly", I liked
i was stuck in deciding between the stock OS and the Gamma version of the 405M, I read there's been some issues after updating. And it's been a while since I rooted an old android phone years ago so i'm a little bit apprehensive. the Gamma version is a tad more expensive. This video made me take the plunge just a few minutes ago. Getting the stock OS version and I will tinker with it if and when it becomes overwhelmingly necessary. cheers!
10% Discount Code -> LXZ-OZN5AXC I just bought the Viture Pro XR :)
Damn, Adin. U on a roll with these podcasts. I find myself eagerly awaiting the next episode. Shem is definitely a good co-pilot. I like this format. It brings some dynamics and great to hear opposing views. Well freaken done. And Matt is a great guy. His content is unmatched.
I love your videos. Greetings from mexico😃
28:36 my take on this : i mean its his choice to make every shoot perfect but then there is nothing retro about it nor it is youtube. i prefer youtube to be very minimal edited very minimal scripted. talking about the design of the product ( its a head line of the script ) but the content that you will say should be the thing you actually feel about it if the d pad is bad and why it is bad it should be explain in non scripted manner.
Rg280v is the answer.
Check out the new V10 from Powkiddy. But yes RG280V is pretty great.
The GKD Pixel and GKD Mini are separate devices - the GKD Mini is a plastic devixe with rounded corners released a while ago. Just commenting because you refer to it as both names. Sorry if it's already been pointed out.
Nobody ever compares products to the rg353m anymore but that remains an excellent premium Linux based device
YOU DID IT. HECK YEAH! Watching all 3 of you in one video is a real breath of fresh air. ❤
I don't know if you're an uncle but you would be the coolest uncle on the planet
I’m with Shem, news websites in particular are completely impossible to read with pop up upon pop ups and ads between sections so you can’t even tell if the article is over or not, or even whether the article itself is an ad. Mr Sunday Movies does a good podcast behind his paywall about clickbait frustrations
Got mine today and absolutely love it for sega stuff, genesis and game gear mainly. 👍👍
Yup it’s a winner!!
great episode! Just want to share my opinon on the whole subscriber thing, I think its only a vanity number when you have a large following, for us small channels it carries a lot of weight in regards to whio wants to work with us and for how long we can sustain things.
Yes. Maybe it wasn’t clear or it was cut but Shem said the same.
My favourite nerds, nerding out about nerdy stuff. This tickles me right in the nerdbone!
lol. Mkay. ❤️
Matt hm is getting about this week 😂
He is indeed
Hi, respectfully I enjoy your guy's videos, but CZcamsrs talking about CZcams I don't find that interesting
Would you prefer more conversations about games and handhelds?
@@matt_HM yeah, that's why we subscribe
I can get onboard with less talk about CZcams but this podcast will always be about the person I am interviewing. We will always talk about handhelds, but I like finding out about their gaming life etc. I will try merge these ideas as I move forward but if I just do handhelds talk then you may as well watch the retro handhelds podcast instead, they’re better at all that.
Great episode! Very interesting topics. I have to agree with Shem: web browsing in 2024 sucks. I find myself using the “reader view” in safari more and more often.
Thanks for having me on Adin! It was really fun getting a chance to talk with you and Shem. Hope we can do it again at some point in the future!
Definitely man. I’d love for the show to have a regular circuit of characters.
Flashback!
Shem, my 35XX Plus has a creaky battery door, and I hate it so much! 😅 I don't touch it because of it. They even sent me a replacement back, and it still creaks.
Hah, thanks for the shout-out! Yes, I want that 40XX, but I'm definitely planning on slowing down for a bit after that one, and the PowKiddy V10!
It really helps me cope to hear how you all overcome your struggles. 💚
I'm loving this format with Shem as the co-host! 💚 Awesome job with your podcasts, Matt! 🥳
nice
Great review.
Glad you enjoyed it
Do you think I would be able to install the retroid pocket 4 hall sticks into the rg556?
No unfortunately not
@@adinwalls Darn really? What exactly is the reason you think? I hear so much about the bad joysticks it is kinda holding me back. I have a RP2s and I LOVE the joysticks
@@foxhoundra64fr it’s just a different mounting system. Not sure about the ribbon cable.
can with holder android xbox?
This should work with an android box yes
Gamesir actually does have an app on the Google Play store that is used to update the firmware. Also, it’s worth mentioning that this controller has Hall Effect joysticks, which makes it very unlikely to drift overtime.
Still love mine! I play it all the time lol! It may not be that fast but for PSX and lower, it's great!
Yup it’s still a winner
I tend to like your content, but I couldn't make it through this one sadly. It's in no way a reflection on you or your guest and maybe I've misinterpreted what this podcast is actually about, but the "content creator" talk is a snooze fest. I understand that getting two youtubers together to chat inevitably gravitates towards talking about making youtube videos, but I'm guessing most of your audience are not content creators and find it unrelatable or uninteresting. Hopefully this isn't coming off the wrong way and is constructive to some degree. Feel free to toss it out the window if I'm off base as well.
I appreciate that feedback!
Question, open for anyone to answer - I ordered one of these from Amazon, and it arrived with the box already opened and the device had debris on it and smudges on the screen. Is this how they're normally shipped? I work in automotive tech manufacturing, and our standards are pretty high (clean rooms, clean environment), so I thought it was a little strange to get a device of this cost arriving in that condition.
No. It’s possible customs opened it but if it’s from Amazon you should have had to deal with that. Maybe send it back.
Thank you for the quick response. I actually just ordered it directly from Retroid, and it ended up being cheaper than Amazon, even after adding some accessories and shipping. Looking forward to messing around with this device. @@adinwalls
Thank you for taking the time to answer. I ended up ordering it from Retroid directly, and it actually ended up being cheaper, even with accessories and shipping. @@adinwalls
But what if I just want a cheap game boy sp to play Kirby on the bus?
Then buy the V90? Or an actual SP
Save the planet a little bit? Bro you buying shit from across the planet. Lmaooooo
Ya I know
Great Review! Got mine in 2020 which was also my first 3rd party pocket console!
Hello. I am planning to purchase this device in the near future. Please tell me which 3D consoles work well on it. I buy it mainly because of the PS2 emulation, but I also plan to get acquainted with Nintendo games.
Hey there. N64 is fine. Most GameCube games work on it, 3DS plays quite well (about 70% of games).
@@adinwalls thanks)))
i think i will just keep my vita2k and o3ds but the way custom handheld is so awesome, i will buy one if boring the R36s
I bought this. And I bought the machenike g5 pro, both for 20 bucks which is insane. The g5 is a MUCH better controller. I'd say.. if you can find a pro controller for less than 30 bucks(which is pretty common), you'll get way more value. But I've seen these go for as low as 14euros. If you just want a cheap controller that just works and looks fire,. Then you can't really go wrong with this one.
the sticks are not that bad if u get a softwear to remap the 8 way diaginals for some reason anbernic always forgets to program them they only program analogs 4 way lol they can go 8 ways doe and also open it up and upgrade the wifi ship then its basiclly like a switch stream eevrything i play fortnite palworld cod and even battle grounds on my 556
the 556 is 140$ now it didnt sell well
Hello! Did I hear correctly that you used the 8bitdo ultimate 2.4? I have the same controller - did you just connect via Bluetooth (D mode) or though a dongle adaptor?
Excellent review. I’ve been going back and forth between these two devices and you really made my decision easier. Although I’m only looking for emulation abilities up to N64/PS1/Dreamcast. I should be good to go with the 556 for that right?
Hey yes it’ll play all those well.
I always knew your English was too good to be a non native speaker but always thought your accent had a German twang. Mystery solved Iol. Love your videos!
Hehe. Thanks for watching
I have a question about 8bitdo 2.4ghz. This guy in the video claims the new firmware version 2 enables Bluetooth mode. Is that true? czcams.com/video/VnanvaH7B10/video.htmlsi=i0QsfwhPOwnZdKra
Just bought one through your link, thanks mate. 😊
Thank you!
$25!? Jesus! Given the Canadian dollar is so bad compared to the US, I think I'm gonna pick this up! BUT! Is the rumble that bad? For me it's kinda important since I love my racing games and the feedback I get from em. Back paddles not really a deal breaker for me since I have none on my Xbox One S controller. Great review once again. Oh I gotta ask, your video's always end so abruptly, ever gonna put an outro video or something? Got a Patreon and put some people up there?
The rumble isn’t great I must admit. I just got a GuliKit controller in and they’ve got some fancy tech for the rumble and it’s really nice.
My abrupt endings are mostly to keep video engagement high. But lately I’ve been adding bloopers at the end for some fun.
@@adinwalls Ahhh good to know, thanks!. Think I'll skip. Kai Retro Gaming recently did a controller review and I think I'll go with that one. The EasySMX X05.
@@adinwalls Ahhh gotcha!
can it run fightcade?
have input lag on wireless ?
Nothing noteable.
