- I have been following TrimUI from the start. Are their handhelds getting better, or are they still full of disappointments? Let's find out.
EDIT:
I neglected to get the GPU right, here's what it really is.
GPU: Imagination PowerVR GE8300 660 MHz

"Well loved" Aw shucks, awesome review!
Holy crap! I can’t believe you watched my video!?!?!!! Thank you so much! Love your work!
I’ve had this device since pre-launch and a retail version. I’ve never had an issue drag and dropping ROMs onto an SD card. There is also some updated firmware from TrimUI that resolves some of the other issues you are having. Great review though
Before pre-launch? How do I get in on that?
Thank you. My experiences are usually the worst because I mess around too much. Never had an issue with ROMs exactly … but was having other issues for sure. I’m going to do a follow up for sure.
Nice work. I also have conflicting feeling about this console. But for some reason I find N64 a lot of fun with these analogue sticks, and GTA Vice City and Liberty City Stories play well enough to make this a decent choice for me.
Thank you! I’m finding the more I play with it the more I like it. I may give GTA a run on this too! Good choice!
Watching this again and I didn't notice before but this console looks small when your hands are on it. Is it smaller than I thought or are your hands massive?
Massive hands. Its pretty close to the size of a PSP Vita.
Hopefully they can mod this 🤘🏾
Already do. He’s running old firmware and now there is TomatoOS
I absolutely love the battery sleep power on this device. It feels almost just like a vita. Very pro feel!
Too bad it's not very powerful. 2gb of ram would have been super nice!
I noticed the sleep doesn’t kill the battery too! A plus I never got to mention!
Such a shame that it doesn't have HDMI out. It's a feature that has to be standard for me to consider it.
I agree 100%. I'm shocked they didn't go this route. This would have made it way better! Guess they ran out of time and/or money.
I have a spare usb-c to hdmi I will be testing today. the top usb says "host" which makes me think usb display might be an option.
dang it didn't work. my mouse didn't work anyway. I think usb host only works with flash drives.
Zoltan Zoltan Zoltan. What do you think you're doing making these smart concise reviews with no BS? You gotta pad these videos son. They need to be 15 minutes at least so you can stuff lots of midrolls and sponsor segments in there. You're never gonna make a million CZcams Dollarydoos making these brief well made videos.
your too kind! I'm always hopeful someone appreciates my "get to the point" video's. Your right though... no Zillion dollars .. but some awesome comments like this one are better then cash I promise you!
@@RetroZoltan 😊 Thank you for recognizing my attempt at sarcastic humor. I always click your videos immediately because I know I'll get good information quickly. Take care.
Did you update to 1.0.4? The new update is supposed to fix PSP performance and add Vulcan mode for PSP.
I eventually upgraded but failed to talk about Vulcan mode. Im dangerously close in having a follow up video once I figure out why I couldn’t get MinUI working either. Somehow tomato screwed things up on my unit also but I can’t prove it :/
@@RetroZoltan I've heard that the tomato OS update (1.0.4.1) is breaking the fps on Vulcan that the 1.0.4 fixes. I found an easy fix tho... just copy over the 1.0.4 sd emulator cheat and config files back over the tomato ones. It should overwrite any issues from the cfw.
Had to back up my roms. The flash entire SD card to update. It worked either way. I jus got it and I. Having issues adding certain roms. When unzipped .bin files won't read. Can u make a tutorial vid pls. Thanks
@@shershot .bin for which system? I was only referring to PSP games. PSP games shouldn't be .bin. It needs to be converted to .ISO to work on ppsspp.
Holy crap it looks like I’m not the only one that ran into issues … I’ll put together something I promise
I have a question. With so many retro emulators, do you have time to play on most of them?
time? him is the Zoltan is eternal
I love MrZakuRetro's answer! "Zoltan is eternal!" I only stick to my favorites, for the most part. Finding out how they work is just as fun for me. I usually spend about a week fiddling around and playing games on one before committing to a review.. and on alot of these they go back into the box for eternity.
@@RetroZoltanyou only do it so we don't have to. ❤😅
Nice video Retro Zoltan interesting system but has some issues.
Thank you so much! I’m hoping to do a follow up on this also.
Well done sir.
Thank you :)
This have some interesting bad design:
1- sticks have no buttons no l3/r3
2-l2/l3 maybe the worst out there in wild savanna of retro consoles.
3-the place to the hdmi cover was in the bottom of the device.
4-the buttons can be bigger.
5-the screen could be a 3:2.
6-the speakers are in weird place having so much console real state.
6-i don't have one
This is a GREAT summary of all the problems (including you not having one!). I wish I got into the aspect ratio as you mentioned. I'll have to do better talking about those in my figure reviews!
@@RetroZoltan 3:2 would be the best compromise you win screen for all the 4:3 consoles or 1:1 and yeah you have borthers in 16:9 but pspps can use wide-screen hacks or streach a litle nobody gonna know.
4:50 Fortunally it's a 2 cores version clocked at 660Mhz (not 66Mhz) xD
Damn … thanks … I’m sad I flubbed that up, but appreciate you pointing that out.
This review is too brief. Example you missed out “overclocking cpu” using function button to have better power on n64, dc, and psp games.
I agree, this was more of a first look. Im hoping to dig into things I missed in this in a later review. Honestly I didn’t even know it had this feature… which changes things for sure.
Too expensive atm.
These are down to $50 from $100 when they launched
Dont see any lower than 70 bucks
Yeah they were 50 for a bit. Assuming it will go back down again soon. If I see them for $50 again I’ll post something about it. :)
@@RetroZoltanthanks RZ
Look like psp on steroid
Right? And I love my PSP … haven’t played it in a while though.
@@RetroZoltan TBH, I really want to mod a PSP to add Raspberry Pi. there's a PCB that can be ordered to accomplish this.
Whaaat? Ok this is interesting!
@@RetroZoltan yup. it's called pspi 6
I need a full version of that outro instead of repeating it every 10:32

You like it?! It’s very new!
