Brandon salt won't pin me
Dedge Quinio it happened
nope he didn't :'(
Didn't it?
OMG!!!
so we can say that Brandon wont pin us and he will pin us?
jeeze I need to that more often
"it feels really plasticy" well, yeah. since that's what it's made of...
16:05 That DGBC sounded like John Cena's theme lol
I don’t know. Seems like your main review is how you feel about the case. You said about a case you didn’t like "these are games I’ve never heard of, they just made them themselves, they are shit". Then on a case you DID like "these are games I’ve never heard of, they just made them themselves, that’s pretty nice I guess".
Um.
It's obviously an advertising for the Retrogame ones lol
Pigumon Probably an apple owner.
I was just about to mention the same thing. Kind of a poor review overall, 1 game or less per device. Not very descriptive on the button feel for each device or consistent scoring or comparison. One device is hated on for homebrew games on it only and the next is praised for homebrew games only...
Complains you cant get into the device, yet never touches on that for any other device.
Krystal: He sounds like one too, I wouldn't be surprised.
@@armchairengineering6664 those games are always shit I mean the argument you're stating holds up but still there's no point in reviewing those games
Dude, I LOVE videos like this. And I can't wait to get my hands on a Retro Mini.
Thanks for the kind words man, yes do pick one up theyre great!
"i´m liking the size"
Dude.. that thing is as big as your finger...
K1nd0mC4rD perfect
Lol
I love this intro music, and awesome handhelds :D
You miss two essential things here.
1. Does the dpad have a pivot bump underneath to allow it to not register opposite directions.
2. Why are you playing that damned background music when we're trying hear audio?
PixelOutlaw To plug in the gaps in his talking to keep people watching longer. Its manipulative. Its something narcissists know to do. Babble on and on and don't ever leave a gap.
@@Krystalmyth erm I wouldn't say it's narcissistic just clever
"nothing really special for 10 pounds"
-_- id say thats well worth 10 bucks lol
The Retro Game Console(the last one to be reviewed) now supports Open Dingux. Open Dingux is basically a Linux distro that lets you customise your device in many ways, including more emulators and better performance. Even Psx emulation is supported though as for now it has poor frame rates.
Very interesting! Thanks for letting me know! :)
is the hardware more powerful than the gcw zero?
Denis Franco. Nope,sorry. It's like an improved dingoo a320
Is it possible to install cheats codes like GameShark codes for Pokemon games???
interesting. I noticed that the one being reviewed was running a version of android. Is this modified version of android open source? Is it even android?
1:56 dude its the game boy micro not advance
Sorry, that's what i meant in my head. xD
Well the Micro full name is Gameboy Advance Micro so...
It's "technically" not advance...... It doesn't run original games at all. In other words it's a dumb down GBA SP
peter medz touchè
Sugi-Vines,Games,Free Shout Outs And More ! That is correct
After watching, out of curiosity, I bought a RETROMini. I thoroughly enjoyed it, but I preferred my old GBAMicro and gave the RM to my little cousin. He loves it, because it has Mario.
15:48 Nearly fell of my Chair.. That...... Is a Li-ion battery from a NOKIA N-Gage .... Sad I know.
But...Curious to know if it is marked 3.7V ... BL-5C by any chance if anyone has one..
BL-5B
I found a better title for video, Amazon fakebois
Small version of gba? JUST CALL IT A GB MICRO
There's already a GB Micro made by Nintendo
I know....
he's never seen a gameboy micro. He also doesn't realise that these are emulated NES games not GBA games.
Delta Nein I meant because he compared it to the “small gba” when could have just said he micro
sonicsword128 thaaaaaaaaank you
A lot of these fake gameboys are ones you would see at Walgreens. I’ve actually seen most of these are at Walgreens!
I bought one at Typo, same difference! :D
HyperSonicNation45 wot aisle?
yep been there
Love CZcams subtitles. Sonic pinball read as sonic pimp oil. We need that made immediately.
*Just as a note: 1st one you played is a Game Boy Micro ripoff. Technically yeah a Gameboy Advance, but in specific the Gameboy Micro
"Technically yeah a..."
The beginning of a conversation everyone immediately wants out of.
Kalvinjj no, it's not technically a gba, different internals and externals, it's a micro
superclaw900 exact same processor (the old Z80 based one of the GBC also included for sound) and all other specs on a new package, saying the Micro is not an advance cause different boards is pretty much saying the SP should be renamed as well.
Processor being repacked into a smaller chip and such internal changes happened a lot on every generation.
Kalvinjj thats exactly it, it's different hardware, different sku, therefore it is called the micro
superclaw900 that honestly feels like calling a PS2 slim not a PS2 anymore.
If that definition fits tho...
7:58 Wii, not Wii U.
The Wii U did have a Wii Sports title, but in the context of your video, it would've been more accurate to mention the 2006 chinese knock off of the original Wii, the "Kensington Vii"
Yeh you would defenetly think the dolphin emulator would run more stable than this crap
They sell the 'Go Gamer Portable' for about $15 at my local walgreens, along with a tv plug-and play version for about $25, so it's not quite as expensive as what you got it for, at least locally.
That one toward the end that you liked is better known as the RS-97. It's basically a higher clocked Dingoo A320 in a Revo K101 shell. There is a community behind it, offering a better OS and emulators for it. Mine is in my mailbox. I have to wait for my roommate to get home from work, however, as he has the mailbox key. Also, I think the other Retrogame handheld is RS-90 which runs the same software.
I bought the one at 1:15 on black Friday just to test it out it was quite fun
After I got my switch I stopped using it
what mario games does it have?
Bought a GamePoke as soon as you pulled it out, $25AUD including shipping. Adorable, and I love those dollar store tetris handhelds.
MJ Turner I bought one of those Tetris things from AliExpress. Back in 1996, when I was 4 years old, one of my uncles bought it for me. It was the first game console I ever owned.
That red and black, 16 bit game sells for $15 US at Wegmans... I just bought one for my kids and they love it. I think it's a nice beginner handheld system for kids.
That MyArcade thing I remember seeing in a Family Dollar as it neared the holidays... But seeing as how I had the Switch, took a rain check on the machine.
"16 bit"
"high res"
hmm....
Fake is cake.
And i love me some cake.
THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!!!!!
Cake Is Life
The Retro Future yea
Fake is cake on Minecraft servers with cake chat.
The My Arcade is absolutely retro, you're confusing the word with classic or vintage!
I thought Revo couldn't play any other non-Gameboy games, but in turn it was a surprisingly exact and high-performance recreation of Gameboy Advance.
Why aren't they just making something with
a) the shape of a GBA/GB Micro/PSP
b) a four face buttons + two shoulder buttons setup
c) built in emulators for GB, GBC, GBA, NES, SNES, Master System and Mega Drive (maybe some more)
d) without any roms to be totally legal but
e) an SD slot supporting at least 32GB to use your own roms
Now add solid build quality, good speakers, a headphone jack, a solid DAC and a built in rechargeable battery (or at least not too many classic ones) as well as the possibility to mess with software and hardware (for hobby hackers) and you'd have a really solid product. Why are all of these knockoffs so bad?
Update: The last one is already pretty close.
I agree with you, I would love a company to release a full metal Gameboy, back lit, USB-C charging, SD card slot etc. I'd pay damn close to $100 for it too!
The emulators are Open Source and the components are very similar to cheap smartphones, so in theory a plastic version could be made even for 50$. I think it would actually be the low quantity driving the prices up, not high quality.
good luck finding a high quality metal gameboy for $100 it would be more like $300 for some thing decent.
Just buy a PSP at that point. Does all of this, and more.
The cat chilling in the background is amazing
6:00 - Retro Mini... this font and icons (especially) looks exactly like in my Dingoo A320. It's a kind of a "hacker boy" console which I use now more like an audio player :)
Brandon, could you check - is this Retro Mini's mp3 player (i guess it has it) has a weird track order? In the standard's A320 player you can get your tracks not in an alphabetic but in a strange "timestamp" order only. It's really touches all files that you're writing on a SD card by yourself. A320 has a SD Mid-size slot BTW :D ... it's a really weird solution and i've found the adapter with big efforts.
I got the retro, one at the end, and there is an internal stroage already on the device, you can access if you plug it in your computer while it's off, then turn the device on plugged in - windows will find the internal storage and you can copy roms direct - without the need for another SD card in the bottom.
"I'm liking the size" pretty sure I heard that somewhere...
Oh, I know what you are talking about
Mmmm no you haven’t
@@wkarl00 must be my imagination then.
As a child, you heard your mum saying it when i came to visit
@@agentorangecb1 hard to believe, my mom isn't interested in 30 year olds in their basements making mom jokes.
I wonder how hard it would be to put a rechargeable battery in the ones that require batteries, I've done that with a few older gaming things I own just by soldering a $5 2200mah rechargeable battery from Walmart before. 2250 mah is the same as ×3 triple A batteries.
It definitely can be done!
If you can solder then it should be easy. LiPo battery, TP-4056. and DC-DC buck converter.
I have the actual My Arcade GBC, it has this one weird game where you play as some kind of werewolf in a puzzle based game, but with basic hack n slash combat. It was buried somewhere in the lower extremities. Also enjoyed some random tower defense game. The games with the superior visuals seem to suffer from bad framerate. Especially this one fighting game which would have been decent if the frame rate weren't so choppy and slow. Bought it on sale at a Walgreens (US based corner store retail) for $15 and felt it wasn't worth it, but it did provide some entertainment for an 8 hour car ride to Branson, back and forth.
Nice dude!
Nice one! I hope you get 120K some time soon man! Keep it up!
Thanks very much!
That last system is a body copy of the revo K101+. The real revo is really good clone gba system that plays rom but also play GBA cartridge. I've had my for over a year now and I works great if you can find one nowadays
the actual thing is way more expensive though
brunocar true playing roms are cool but I rather play a game off the actual cart. To me roms never seem perfect
The ROM is the same exact data that is stored inside the cart, it is the software emulation of the console what can ruin the experience.
There are consoles that can play carts but still run via software emulation.
Ya, if I didn’t have a GBA with the 101 screen mod and GBA everdrive, I’d go with an actual Revo K101, whose cart slot would actually work with official carts.
So can you give me some suggestions? I really liked the last one and the one it was related to but I don't known the price
the form factor and aesthetic of those "retro game" ones are cool, but I can already emulate all those games on my phone. if you want the real experience spend the money on a used gba sp and an everdrive.
In my opinion if I couldn't get my hands on a gba sp, ds, or normal gba I think these would be worth getting. On the phone you can't feel the click of the buttons, the buttons themselves, and it's not always responsive. I wanted to switch from my gba sp to phone, but you can tell that the games weren't designed for the phone.
Yes I was considering buying one of those but then realized I just wanted to play mario and donkey Kong country, so I just use my cellphone and f*** it
You know the Gameboy's bad when it's called "Game Prince"
What about putting some of those cheap but modern parts in a real gameboy? Would make a great beginner project with the back-lit screen and the led buttons
I've thought about doing that before but it would be a big hassle
The best gameboy in my opinion is a psp go
I made my PSP Go an emulator machine just this last month and I writhe in existential agony every night because I didn't do it sooner.
Jakuzure Nonon That's exactly what happened to me too xD
Just bought a vita for that very purpose, it´s gonna be glorious!
土萠ほたる make sure it's new and from a region other than japan, so you can install henkaku
vinmannie I don't see why those two factors should influence if a system can run henkaku.
14:13 Start and stop?
didn't even notice it until now *insert laughing emoji*
*stop*
To reset on the retro mini, press start and select at the same time and it’ll go back to the menu or save
I used to own one of these, I remember getting a Toys-R-Us gift card back when they were a thing and getting one from there and then I lost it on a plane when we went on a trip to Hawaii years ago. It was the MyArcade Gamer V Portable. I've seen both MyArcade ones in retail stores (like gas stations and 99¢ stores).
What is this intro!? Is it unique to this show or is there a full-version?
DJ Quads - A Bouqet of Roses, on Soundcloud and CZcams.
You're welcome:)
That retro game console is not a Revo K101, its just using the same shell, the Revo K101 costs a lot more, but if you get that one, you will be able to play real cartridges
Ahhh i see!
Brandon Salt if you want one its best to look on eBay where they will cost around £80
The revok101 is an absolute beast gba clone. That retrogame like the comments have said is also good with custom linux much like the old dingoo handheld.
But if not hacked it has below average emulators on board
Kai I was going to post this as well I bought a K101 Plus and it is amazing. The one in the video is a fake using the same shell with a weird non K101 OS.
Useful tip - for the Retro Mini, you don't need to turn it off and on. Just hold select and press start. It even has quicksave options.
That third one has Christmas disappointment written all over it.
Love the vids keep up!
Thanks man!
Intro song plz?
dirtboarder17 ditto
Dj quads a bouquet of roses and your welcome
KodyFinds Music hella thanxes
Ivan Lozano ;)
that last one is actually a(legal) fake version of a gba clone. I think they sold the shell designs to another company who made this emulator handheld out of it, but the original revo K101+ is a full hardware GBA clone, and a lot more expensive.
if you press start + select on the retro mini, there's an option to "Reset" so you can go back to the menu. i also recommend the retro mini, awesome gba rom player. doesn't support all gba games, but it plays the want i wanna play.
I think these are great for more casual oriented gamers who just want to play their old games, but the price to value I feel like could be better. A 2DS refurbished can range from $45-60 USD, has pretty decent emulation support, and also has the capabilities of playing new games. I bought one for GBA and SNES emulation and couldn't be happier. The only downside I've encountered was the d-pad. Compared to my New 3DS XL, the d-pad is really mushy and diagnal inputs are harder to do.
nah, the 2DS is nice but between the worries regarding which FW version it comes with so you dont need a flashcart to hack it and the crap dpad, might as well get a PSP go for even less money and you can emulate those same platforms (GBA isnt the best, but most games are playable) and on top of that you get PSX emulation that runs most games well.
I would suggest a PSP, but a lot are plagued with battery issues and prices for a GO or 3000 are almost twice of a refurbished 2DS. I agree with the process of obtaining a flash cart is too much of a hassle to do something like this for most people, but the payoff is great for someone who's serious about it. For the longest time, I actually wanted a PSP 3000 or GO for emulation but could never go through with it due to price.
bullshit, i bought a psp go refurbished from gamestop for 50 bucks in 2015, it cant have gone up in price
Gamestop doesn't seem to sell PSP's used/refurbished anymore and I think it's because no one is selling it to them knowing that they can get much more off a PSP than what Gamestop offers. I'm going off of general eBay prices and they are pretty crazy for an older handheld that sold decently well. If you got a PSP for that much, you got a really good deal.
brunocar just a little reminder, set the CPU clock to 333mhz on the PSP Go and it runs GBA like a dream with 60fps and even has almost enough power to play N64 games at a decent speed and PSOne flawless.
Apparently this person thinks that "Game Boy" means "handheld". You would probably call a Game Gear a type of Game Boy. Also, Game Boy is supposed to be two separate words. Cheerio~
Tarantulord Not necessarily? Honestly, unless it plays Game Boy games and/or rip off a Game Boy casing, it's just a handheld. You might as well call all trees "oak rip-offs", by your standard.
PuffyRainbowCloud lol I'm glad your standards are so high but I'm pretty sure it's not that important In the scheme of what this is, you know, so others know too. A lot of us aren't coming here fresh out the womb
PuffyRainbowCloud
Lady or sir, have you seen a Game Boy console that was non-portable?
PuffyRainbowCloud
Also "Game Boy" is a copyrighted word and if used in any other things, it can get a copyright strike leading to the product getting cancelled.
So yeah, Gameboy technically does mean hand-held.
I mean, with MY perspective because I had never fuckin' seen a Gameboy console that is similiar to modern day consoles that are non-portable.
Boi lol.
PuffyRainbowCloud I bet you're fun at parties
On the Retro Mini press start and select to go back to the home screen.
Saying "Amazon's" sounds like that its an actual amazon product btw.
Made in China🇨🇳
I have that "game poke" my friend gave it to me.
Sometimes, it turns on in the middle of the night, and while in bed, I hear the slow disturbing sounds wondering what turned it on.
That Catch Chicken game gave me *SO* much nostalgia for that Dexter's Laboratory flash game on the cartoon network site. Fond but weird memories of my childhood right there.
I think some of these fakes are acceptable, as long as they dont use the same designs and looks to deceive buyers. I mean when you look at a good fake console, you know it is not the real thing, but they are not deceiving you to think that this is the real stuff and then stuff shit in your mouth. It's like i am a fake but i have my quality.
I know we must support real stuff whenever we can, but for gamers from the poorer part of the world, they only option is probably RetroMini. It's good to see videos like this promoting good quality fake consoles, it's helpful to gamers who cant afford the high end consoles.
Peace V.
For the Retro Mini, reset is Start and Select together
You learn something new every day! Thanks man!
Watching this video was like staring into a light bulb for 18 minutes.
On the retro mini to exit the games you have to press start and select at the same time. I had it.
You don't even know what the word "retro" means... Something retro is something that imitates an old fashioned thing... So those games ARE retro.
I think you're confusing "RETRO" with "VINTAGE" like most people.
I'm too lazy to watch the video, do any of these take emulator games?
Like, can I play Pokemon Red randomized on a SD card with any of these?
Just watch the video dumbfuck
A helpful reply took a day to get, and the video isnt even 20 minutes long.. soooo.... maybe next time you can just skip through it or check the description because some videos have timestamps for stuff like this. :)
TactualSLAYER In my sweet brown voice "ain't nobody got time fo dat"!!!
- "I don't feel like watching this, so let me impose on the poor souls who decide to enable my bad entitlement habits."
Really though. You're on CZcams.
Get a dsi xl with an r4 card n call it good
Guy presses buttons like it's his first time holding a handheld console and he's 50 years old.
I actually have several of those My Arcade units because they got away with selling several products at Wal-Mart of all places despite the blatantly stolen content and assets all over them
Hell yeah more brandon salt
Pow!
Pin me if you don't live in your mom's basement
Fuck you, if you're looking for attention
Jokes on you, he does live in his mom's basement, and BTW even if you were pinnend they will only see this comment and think ok and not even check you out. Also by not pinning this comment the chance is bigger for less people seeing this and thus not knowing that you said this and thus not even think about it.
You're welcome attention seeker.
Wow, I might actually sell my modded GBA and game collection and just get that last one you showed. That's pretty sweet!
No
I bought a retromini for my 8 yr old son, it didn't come with a micro sd card with the 500+ games on it..where can I get those games? I'll just get a micro sd and load it up for him...
YehoshuaD online, you can download them.
Just google something like Pokémon Yellow (or whatever game) Rom download free.
I have one of them -- the Go Gamer Portable -- from Walmart as a Christmas gift is 2017.
Had a 300 in one version of RS-1 with Super Mario Bros, Tetris & Galaxian. It does seem to need close to full voltage for its screen ... the screen goes dark as battery voltage drops too low ... so, if you don't have a defective unit, it might be brighter if you try fresh batteries.
You can totally tell the sponsored videos because suddenly every Unboxer suddenly reviews the same items. I could be wrong, but suspiciously, five high traffic reviewers all reviewed similar items in the last week. So, maybe I'm wrong and just finding patterns in clouds.
I have a retro mini, the cheap Chinese clone and not the legit $65 one. It's definitely a solid device but it often times drops frames and you can tell you're playing on something cheap. So for games where timing and precision are important, I wouldn't play them on the retro mini. But for RPGs like Pokemon, it is a wonderful experience. And I think that's the use case most of us want it for.
On the models you like, how is battery life? It might be worthwhile for those of us interested, to know how many spares we might need to carry along for a day out.
The new version of the k101 pro has more support, more games, better os, A RESET button, and it comes in a very clean looking white color.
Hey dude, pls can you give me your retro mini upgraded version coz since I am from India there no Japanese retro games are available.
Can you trade with the second rip off?
Just discovered your channel, and I'm kind of happy. Hope you have more videos like this. I don't know why, but I've always loved looking up the cheap knock off systems. If I had more money and enough room, I would probably buy a bunch of them just to have them.
Could you show us the Moqi i7s?
Sadly its $360 on Ali-express
Its an android device that can play NES, SNES, GB, GBC, GBA, PS1, PSP, Atari 2600, DC, C64, Sega 32X, Sega CD, Genesis, MasterSystem, Bandai Wonderswan / Color, MAME, FBA and can play Saturn, Gamecube, and Wii out of the box.
The Gameboy advance device everyone loves is the Revo K101. It can play real Gameboy carts and has a flash drive.
the retro game is called the RS-97, the revo K101 is the same thing but better and will run cartridges its more tho. The Rs-97 can be modded quite easily for it to run things a lot better, but it's pretty good out the box, not perfect though
Odd that the Revo K101 you’ve got doesn’t play GBA games. The model I have does play GBA carts and rom hack carts just fine.
Tony Hawk might have been lagging because the battery life was low.
I own the orb retro game 150 games, it does have retro games from various companies like Nintendo but they have been altered like there is one game called Bald and Bear were it is a Mario Bros. Clone. Not bad if not a little repetitive.
I'm just here for the kitty decoration in the background!
"so this one here was about 11 pounds" shit that's pretty heavy
" but in the us it costs 15 dollars" oh... totally not heavy
I was about to go to sleep, till I saw this. It's 1:00 am.
So wanna explain how you couldn't get original gba games to work in the revo?
I do wish you would have looked into more games that were taxing on that last system to get a feel for the performance expected of it.
Classic game room is the only channel smart enough to turn off the lights to show you the quality of the screen.
Should’ve tested the AV cables. Would’ve liked to see if it worked at all.
6:37 I've seen this thing at Barnes and Noble.You can see Lucas, Dawn, and Barry from Pokemon DPPt on the back of the box.
I bought an Odroid Go. Way better than anything you mentioned and it was $32 USD from HardKernel direct. Plays off micro SD card and feels good in hands.
I been looking for a means to replay some of my old gameboy games. Currently my GBASP has bad shoulder buttons, and sadly Nintendo no longer makes gameboys nor can I find them cheap online.
I would love to pick up a one if these just to allow me to play my old games again. :3
7:46 offers pre-built games that he never heard in his life *shows Baseball*
Was about to say, it's actually a large version of the GB Micro but I was clearly beaten to the punch.
10:35 that was a Dexter's Laboratory flash game from the CN website, really nostalgic for me.
