Give Dennis his own segment where he reviews strange Chinese products. Bonus points if he presents it in Mandarin with subtitles.
SECTORTWO He deserves his money just as ltt mascot. No need to work.
That would actually be pretty awesome. Throw in a bit of sketch comedy, some stereotypes and you'd have a great platform. Sure it could be seen as slightly racist, but it's all about balance.
SECTORTWO that's actually a good idea. I would appreciate if he provides the translation of the menu items etc as subtitles.
please make this happen
Yes! We need more Dennis on screen!
"It's great for the price." YOU NEVER TOLD US THE PRICE :D
Miha Frangež He's from Canada and a majority of his audience is from the U.S, most people on the internet don't seem to understand currency exchange would just calling it cheap works better than saying a certain amount of certain dollars.
well, the non + model is 130, so we can expect around 180
"I don't think it's going to be that expensive"... He doesn't know the price either, he was sent a review device ;-)
no. i think its because its not out yet...
The GPD XD is $180 on their web site. No mention of a + version yet.
Mupen 64 is one of the more popular Nintendo 64 emulators. It's been around for years actually.
JawnGG Cool. Definitely will check it out. Does it work on tablets?
liizzset I personally haven't used it on tablet, but my guess is there might be a build out there that works. My main draw to it was that an older version had netplay, so you could play stuff like Mario kart online.
JawnGG Did you try the new rps3 and cemu emulators? I'm using citra for playing pokemon and it's running pretty good.
Sucks that can run mupen, but not Nintendo dolphin.
@@liizzset yes
This review was most lacking and even untrue. As seen in other review videos, the XD+ is capable of standalone emulating heavy PSP (GoW) and Gamecube (Wind Waker) games at near-full to full speed; Linus simply didn't bother to choose and configure the emulators properly. In fact, SNES, N64, PSX, NDS, DC and some PSP already worked full speed (no gamepad lag) on the original XD with skelton's Legacy ROM, which also easily got rid of the Metro launcher and bloatware. As their name rightly implies, the GPD (XD/Win) are portable gaming devices that can do lots on their own and pretty much anything through streaming; say, I even used to play BOTW on the original XD at college Campus, remotely streaming CEMU from my home with Splashtop.
TL;DR: They're economic, powerful and very versatile portable devices, if you only care to learn how to use them.
Thank god someone else gets it. They're not for everyone, but Linus did a poor job showing it off. Then again after he didn't know what Mupen64 was I knew how the rest of the review was going to go.
Agreed. The build quality on the original GPD XD is surprisingly great for the price. It makes the hinge on the 3DS XL feel cheap.
I don't actually have one so that's good to hear, I knew the quality couldn't be too shabby though since there were no complaints about it. How does the GPD XD work for you with things outside of games like checking your email or watching a youtube video?
CZcams/Twitch I have to turn down from 1080p/720p60 because it picks those by default and it doesn't always perform well(frame drops) if connecting via a wifi repeater. I don't email on it enough to have a strong opinion, mostly I play something on emulation, watch YT/Twitch/Hulu/Netflix/videos I uploaded on the SD card.
Ok, I was thinking about picking on up as a multimedia device for my games, music, videos, and email. Thanks for letting me know!
Tbh from a design standpoint, the flipped text on the bumpers is fking genius. Don't know what button you have to press? Just flip it quickly.
Its the same on the ps4 controller, so gut
TrinhStudios who honestly needs to check though? Lol
Sonic The Snailhog
Some newbies need em.
I thought the same. It's very clearly not a mistake but a well thought out design choice. "upside down" is exactly how you would view them when flipping the device in the most natural way.
Kind of surprised that went over Linus head.
It's like that on the 3DS family too.
It seems counterintuitive at first, but when you use it for yourself it just makes sense

Linus was given a prototype and the firmware has been updated since then.
New Firmware is in English and also includes gapps ( Google Play, Google Service, GMail etc )
There is an option to unlock bootloader and has been rooted using magisk on the prototypes sent to testers.
XD+ and the old XD are both great devices.
Thanks for the specs. Linus seems to have forgotten the basics of reviewing a product.
bump xD
XD
Would've been nice to show how to change the language after going through the trouble of asking Dennis to help you figure it out.
_窮 i have a asian in my school class and he is called Dennis xd
It's the same as any Android device. Googling "change android chinese to english" will show you how it's done. It won't be in Chinese when it's shipped to other countries though.
when i got my gpd xd it came in english
Yes. When XD+ is launched, there will be an English version. This XD+ is a closed test device.
Oh wow, the actual gpd youtube channel. Will there be an updated GPD Q5 in the future?
Just looked up the CPU, it's 64 bit capable actually so it could run Dolphin. How many games would be playable is another question though.
Jethro Condell it can fully run all GameCube games. It's confirmed.
RRoyce G dolphin is still work in progress so it probably glitches in some GC games, and I bet it would struggle with Wii games
Can run fortnite ok no
@@archivechannelforthejet But can it run Crysis? (Sorry just can't resist... )
Remember those old Sony phones that doubled as a PlayStation controller? The good old days of Android gaming were great back then!
You couldn't use them with emulators or android store games. Only PS Store games.
OLD?????I'm rocking a Xperia Z3 Compact. It's awesome
BrianAnim That's not true. I have the Sony Ericsson Play, and I use it almost exclusively for emulators.
Sony Xperia is a phone that is not old
I tried it at the store when it came out and It didn't work for me. I couldn't map the controls. Must have been an update.
Does it come with a Dennis?
Frazer Telford ä
Dennis sold separately
How much?

Is it me or does Linus seem like the kind of uncle who's got a lot to say about stuff but he's always late to the party?
KasHCubeD Yeah and when he finally shows up he always touches inappropriate places
And drops things.
I will buy one of those little gems one day, retire in a forest and play retrogaming for the rest of my life with a solar panel.

Linus, what happened? I used to watch your channel, but lately it seems like no research has been done on most videos.
That comment on Mupen64, WTF linus
Its on TechQuickie
@@@debug9424 - I don't know what this is, but send me ad revenue anyways!
I'm guessing fame and pressure compresses the videos and him into making shit faster
This is the first review where I've been truly disappointed with Linus. This console is incredibly popular in the emulating community (original XD), it's loved by many people, and a lot of us are considering an upgrade.
Linus, you should have done your diligence and looked into the product before shooting the video. The "mystery button" is extremely useful, it's for games with touch-screen only input. It maps the hardware to those on screen controls.
Yours in in Chinese because it's a pre-production model. The real release will probably ship out in local languages.
Lastly, you didn't even seem to realize that this was a device made for emulation fans. Emulation isn't a side-note, it's the whole reason we're buying this.
Very disappointed Linus :(
+Isaac The entire focus of the video was on how it ran emulated games.
why would you buy this if you can just get a controller and plug it into your phone with better specs
Z Lin because chances are you are using your phone more than just emulation. and emulating games can eat away the space on your phone easily. not only that but the gpd has a longer batter life while emulating because there wouldn't be a battle of power drainage with other processes
1. Playing games on a phone can always be interupted by calls, msgs, etc.
2. It requires the storage on your phone. It eats your battery pretty fast. (This device has 6000mah battery right? Most phone runs higher resolution, and has battery half of this machine's size.)
3. Paring a controller with a phone is often a pain in the ass, not to mention how hard it is to get it work with various emulators.
4. How am I supposed to bind my phone on a controller? Eh, scotch tapes?
5. You won't be able to bring a phone and a controller with you in your pocket anyway.
+Linus Tech Tips Then you titled the video very wrong and did the video very VERY poorly.
Do some simple research man, jeez.
I like how the word CHINESE is the only one in full capitals
Go away Roland
Say what you will about clickbaity titles. It works.
Mupen64’s an emulator for the n64
Asdf Qwerty
😂😂
crap
And it's a quite good one.

"Mupen Kart" -- linus sebastian 2018
Why didn't you try the ppsspp (psp) emulator!? It runs better than any other emulator out there and usually doesn't require high end specs. It was already loaded on there too.. *facepalm*
This is probably just a sneak peek with his thoughts considering the GPD XD plus doesn't release until next month or so. I would expect a more thorough review from Linus covering all included emulators.
ikr
Ppsspp ruins 100% on both GPD XD
suburbanflower he didn't know what mupen64 was so i highly doubt he knows anything about emulators
suburbanflower i have a fx 6300 1050ti based rig specifically for emulators and a bit of homeworkim really lucky my uncle frequently upgrades and hands old parts down
If you don't know what MUPEN64 is, then why are you even reviewing a gaming console?!?
Because not everyone cares about emulators?
@@sengelhard2982 true but yeah you'd expect Linus to be more aware somewhat
@@sengelhard2982 This is an emuation device
Mupen is not a console its an emulator for a console
Looks like an offbrand 3ds
Exactly what I was thinking, as I own a 3ds of my own.
It basically is an off brand 3ds that's more functional than the real thing
GPD: “Can I copy your homework? I’ll change it up a bit”
Nintendo: “No! Do your own work!”
GPD: “Thanks bro! Nobody will notice”
Shhhhh Nintendo might take down your comment. 😂
Lacks a second screen though.
Nintendo prolly gonna take down this vid, and/or that company bc of this vid
like they did with my vid, and i was just joking about it
yeah they are crazy like that about these things
Yeah good luck at having a japanese company go after a Chinese one in copyright law.
if they are selling these in the states, i think they can
when the laws are from China is when they can evade copyright
i think*
Probably selling, but not shipping or located in the states. Devices like this and much more are rampant in the majority of the world. It has been going on for decades and is still occurs unabated. This video isn't going to be the what breaks the camels back by any means. There are a few thousand other videos on YT that show other cool knock off systems since the start of gaming and they still hang around. Major US companies that are behemoths compared to Nintendo that have their copyrights, patents, property stomped on by Chinese businesses can barely get any traction with lawsuits, so Nintendo would have next to no chance.
I think the licenses to these games have expired anyway.
oh, well yeah, makes sense, thanks for the info
Very bad review. Not knowing the system. Not talking about new specs or updates. Playing lame games on emulator you dont know. And making ADS for VPN.. Great...
So true lol. It really is an objectively poorly done review. I'm glad that the device is reaching a wider audience though at least
The main thing I'm kinda mad about is that he said the processor was not 64bit even though it is :/
This isn't a review on the product because he has an early prototype, he's more or less just giving us a sneak peak at what's to come and giving us his thoughts on it. I'm sure there will be a better review of the gpd xd plus when it releases next month or so.
This is what LTT is now, a poorly scripted vehicle for ad revenue. Reviews used to be pretty comprehensive, dem moneyz tho.
Ah I didn't know you had to have a YT channel to be able to evaluate them, seems like a strange rule but ok! Better tell the rest of the internet!
Still better than pewdiepie
ashens should be doing this
mixindave1 An Ashens GPD XD(+) would be super cool. Like the old android gaming tablet reviews he did a few years back
@mixindave1: Agreed. He already reviewed one of their win gpd thingies so was actually surprised they didn't send him one of these.
This just proves the Nintendo DS is truly next gen
It proves that nintendo did a good job on the piracy protection
Alex V.D.H. Not really, 3DS has jailbreak avaliable
They literally used the body of a black be 3ds xl, the bumper buttons are layed out in the exact same way
DS was king for SNES emulation. No input lag on Super Mario World lmao
Buy a DS lite, an R4, and a GBA flash cart. Just like that you have most games that this can play. minus PS1 and N64. That said the actual "DS" part of the R4 makes up for it.
Trust me, I'm pretty good at this game.

This is conformed by the CEO of gpd.
Looks like a Nintendo lawsuit waiting to happen.
it'll never happen tho :D
the original has been out for years and nintendo doesnt own foldable portables. only thing they can go after is the roms, but again they never have in the past
Anthony Alvarez What about the Nintendo DS, Nintendo 3DS, and the Nintendo GameBoy Advance SP?
Anthony Alvarez they can 100% go for commercialized emulators and roms. That's far from a grey area
Drew Naylor What about them? Just because they've had consoles with a clamshell design doesn't mean they are the only ones who can use that type of design.
Mupen64 is one of the best android nds emulators linus...
Daan Klein you mean n64
Daan Klein lol drastic is the one you need for nds, mupen64 literally has 64 in its name
I think this is a joke lol
He is PC master disgrace why would we expect him to have a clue about our console ghosts?
Daan Klein also works for a Macintosh.
I am disappointed Linus, I own the original GPD XD and it is a really good console for emulation.
please spend a little bit of time with it and do a full review.
Mupen64 is an N64 Emulator ;-;
you do not know de way
t'is fellow ah January memes age like fine cheese
real niggas use project 64.
GPD XD now with XDDR5

3:27 Nintendo Content, #Demonitized
DanielRichards644 demonitized? Nintendo leaves ads running and claims all the ad revenue
and how is that not equivalent to the video being demonetized for LTT, demonetized doesn't mean the ads go away, it means the uploader isn't paid ad revenue for the video
DanielRichards644 “Copyright holders” get two options when claiming a video. 1. Stop ads from rolling 2. Keep ads rolling, however the money gets put into the claimant instead of the CZcamsr.
Nintendo does the latter as they are assholes with the IP
damn dude TAKE THE JOKE and move on
When it's an android device it doesn't make a whole lot of sense to test only emulated games on it. Not because emulated games aren't relevant, but because that mostly just ends up being a test of the quality of the emulator moreso than the hardware it runs on. Even a high-end PC can run emulated games poorly depending on the software and settings used.
The device isn't designed to be an emulator after all but android based, so that seems a bit unfair.
That input lag there for example ... probably an emulator issue most likely when it's that bad, but there is no way to know if you only test though the emulator.
Really should have run one or two android-native apps on there.
It seems pretty interesting though - assuming you are into the sort of games you are likely to find on android. On the cheap for a more casual gamer or a child you probably have a buttload of free/cheap content - plus all the emulator stuff. Comparing to a DS system or a Wii-U or something those options are going to get expensive real fast especially if you have a kid with a short attention span asking for new things to try every week :)
Pretty ballsy to ship your device with blatantly pirated roms preinstalled though lol. China is crazy :D
Emulators are usually the biggest draw for these devices so it makes a lot of sense to show how certain emulators work on it. His issues with lag very much likely were emulation issues, but we don't know which emulators were even on it other than that it was using a build of Mupen64Plus AE, but we don't even know how old the build of it was. The fact his device came full of emulators and roms suggests that these emulators could be older versions with bugs that were patched.
Emulation is a tricky beast sometimes. It's not just how well it can run a game, but also how accurately and when it comes to lower power devices, sometimes you have to make sacrifices to one to achieve the other. Most of the time, these sacrifices aren't too bad, maybe a sound or visual glitch occurs, but other times that could cause big issues such as gamebreaking bugs, visual issues that prevent you from progressing, or even crashes. In the past, emulators were often made to get certain games running, and perhaps running well, but the accuracy suffered. N64 emulation is one of the bigger cases of this. And yeah, if you didn't set your settings just right, many games wouldn't work. Modern emulators tend to focus on accuracy, though with HLE to help ease the burden. The idea being that even if you can't emulate a certain popular game yet, someday you could, hardware is progressing at a fast rate so excessive hacks intended to get certain games running now end up holding back the emulator. As mentioned, n64 emulation was this way. Now that actual progress is being made, many games are not only looking better, but they actually are running whereas before many of them just didn't work.
The better emulators tend to be so well known and tested that what people are looking for are things like "how well can this device run gamecube games, psp?", "Can it run dreamcast or wii games?". While none of these emulators are perfect, they are generally known for being very good. While a game not running well COULD be due to the emulator, chances are it's because the device is not powerful enough. Modern emulation works to become more accurate, and while this can rarely help with performance, the general trend is actually to become more demanding. So you might have to turn down or off some settings or use speedhacks, but this often comes at the cost of glitches. An example is that the Higan, a cycle accurate emulator mainly used for snes emulation requires a beefy system. Byuu the dev has stated that perfect snes emulation requires a 3Ghz clock speed. Then you have an emulator such as Zsnes on the other end which used a lot of speedhacks in order to get games running on pretty much any computer back in the day. At the time, this meant that the games that had the speedhacks looked and ran mostly fine, but if they hadn't been dealt with they had all sorts of obscure bugs.
I guarantee you that native android games are not really on the minds of people buying this. No offense, but few android games even come to mind that stand out to me personally. I've played a few games on it that were suggested and most just didn't strike my fancy like the things I could play on PC or on some console or handheld and few accepted anything but touchscreen and gyroscope controls. And since so many people user lower power phones, most games are not very demanding, so if android gaming is your thing, chances are this will run them just fine. The part you might find unsatisfactory though is that the GPD line of products don't really seem like good ways to play games that rely on touchscreen or gyroscope controls.
Now, if this was the GPD Win 2, then people would be less concerned with emulators. When the GPD win came out, most that just wanted emulators got the GPD XD, whereas those that wanted to play native PC games wanted to see how well the gpd win ran windows games. And since the hardware on the GPD win and GPD XD were comparable, for emulation it didn't matter too much. Now that the GPD XD+ and GPD WIn 2 are coming out, similar events are happening. People are interested in what avenues can be opened up in regards to emulators and for the GPD Win 2, what games it can play that the first one couldn't, and how it improves the games the first GPD win could run.
"A more conventional Android launcher..."
That's literally the Google Now Launcher.
No price in the video
No price in description
So what IS the "low price" you keep mentioning?
The original GPD XD is ~$250US on Amazon, so that should give you a pretty good ballpark estimate. That doesn't seem terribly low to me given the multitude of other options out there for this sort of thing.
That's still a lot, especially if you plan on using it mainly for emulation.
This is significantly cheaper than a switch, far more robust and is made to play thousands of games for free. You're an idiot if you think a switch is a comparable purchase.
NoFeckingNamesLeft More...robust? Also it is full of pirated games so, "free". There is no actual price for this yet, just his speculation. Based on the chinese preorders this is $200, only $100 less than a Switch. Also most people have a phone already that can play these just fine, and you could pick up a $20 controller for your phone and just attach your phone to it. THAT is significantly cheaper.

Dear god do a review on GPD Win 2.
A proper review, not rushed like this one was.
Oh definitely. I'll be fucking furious if they downplay the Win 2 like they did this. Win 2 is a serious piece of kit from what I've seen so far.
I dont even want him to touch the win 2 after this review
Somehow, after watching this video I went off on a handheld console video watching spree and ended up spending $650 on a Nintendo switch, games and accessories.

You did the right thing bud
you could have waited and got a GPD WIN 2!
gpd win 2 cost like 2 x more then switch.switch is also exelent device for emulators
That thumbnail is terrifying.
i think it would be cool if they fit a second screen into the bottom, but then that would make it like a 3ds xl
Timo Stroet WRONG. Axon M
The Axon M uses a heavily modified version of Android to work on more than one screen - there is absolutely no native support, and trying implementing it would be a nightmare.
Android does. It's just Linux guys...
My Alcatel phone supports it, even though it has no ports for it. Alcatel is too lazy to change the OS much. The issue is just the way its implemented. Some developers like doing things their own way, hence the Axon M's way of doing it. A near-stock version that comes with a Nextbook has support for it.
Android most definitely does have native dual screen support in the latest version.
Xd3
GPD was a crowd funded deal... This unit in particular being their first device... It is a 64 bit device, as all android devices have been for nearly a decade now. They also have a GPD win and win2, the latter of which runs the latest gen intel skylake M3 cpu, and is able to run titles like GTA5, Fallout4, etc... it has a M.2 SSD, 8GB LPDDR3... its nice... They have other devices too... Linus is not only way out of the freaking loop on this tech, and tech in general... But he can't even be bothered to research a company OR their product line up before making a pathetic attempt at a review these days... damn... Getting pretty shitty. From being blissfully unaware of the emulation scene on Android, to being unaware of a pretty well known device, to being unaware of the hardware architecture within it and in general..
The XD was not their first device.
They made many before this.
I have two of them.
I remember back in 2014, when they made a console called GPD G7 (before the GPD XD). It was better than the competition at the time, but not that great.
I guess they could have done a better job in shipping it in English so you could read it and set things up lol. One little correction the XD+ actually Does have a 64bit processor. Thats one of the major upgrades over the original one so emulators like dolphin and other apps that require 64bit are now possible
You can hear the pain in his voice, see the pain in his eyes when he says "tunnelbear."
My guy, Mupen64 is a Nintendo 64 emulator.
abel vasquez You don't say????
haha have a feeling Linus is abit of a Android noob.
He uses an android phone as his daily driver. He is a noob to gaming as he doesn't care much for it. Especially mobile gaming.
"Some people like if you're super basic then I guess it's fine but.." LMFAO
One day, in the distant and glorious future, we will be able to run an android emulator on the go that won't have noticeable input lag.
Though I might not be alive to see it.

Not really... what if you want to play games in public? Like on the train, coffee shops etc? How are you going to hold your phone upright infront of you while using your controller? Recently the MOBA spinoffs in the Chinese market are absurdly popular, i'm certain some players will buy it just for the sake of separating battery intensive gaming from their phones, storing the device in your pockets (it's much easier than stuffing an actual gaming controller) and the advantages of not having your hands covering parts of the screen when playing.
RyLo18D Most of those phone controllers have a mount where you can stick your phone on top of the controller. :P
I would just get a second hand psp and download emulators.
too much input lag. I have tried many bt controllers with android its just not a good experience. :(
I love how if you look closely in the thumbnail, you’ll notice he’s losing Mario Kart and driving into a wall.

"It's hard to find a decent d-pad" -Linus Sebastian 2018
The reason for the imput lag is that the CPU has to emulate the instructions from the Nintendo 64 to ARM instructions in real time, which causes a few milliseconds delay.
The "upside down" letters actually make a lot of sense. You're going to see it like that if you're playing the game. No one looks at the other side.
You actually don't know what Mupen64+ is? It's one of my favorite N64 emulators.
I'm using MegaN64 on my phone which is a re-skinned lollipop friendly version of Mupen64+.
Standard back button for android... Not clear what this button does
Mupen 64 is the best N64 emulator out there
crap dude it a fucking cpu hunger. use other ones.

Project 64 FTW
What's the best one for Windows? I've got a Conker to beat XD
ThereWasNoFreeName
Project 64 is both android and windows lol
Linus im the best at Super Mario World,Linus i died this system is shit lol
the system is shit? it's shitty?
@@Stella-ri5ex r/whoosh
But it is 64bit tho...
your Sponsor goes Skrrra
When it’s Chinese, you can assume it runs android.
Reiden Lightman what about iPhones
most chinese tablets run windows :3
Manbuin :3 c:
Reiden Lightman you realize iPhones are made in a Chinese sweat shop
Tell that to the starving chinese children making your iphones
Linus. Thank you for not playing on anything below 150cc.
In spite of Linus being stupid, I wholeheartedly recommend this system. I've been using the XD for over a year now and it's flawless.
Plays anything from DOS and Atari, to Genesis and SNES, to N64 and PS1, to PSP and DS flawlessly. It's also a full Android system, so you can play all your favourite Android games via the included touch screen or the "Map joystick" button (which is the one Linus couldn't figure out and said it didn't work).
It also DOES play Gamecube and Wii titles via Dolphin..... just at 7fps >.> So not really an option. The battery life is amazing as well. I get anywhere between 8-12 hours of game time from it. And again that's GAME time, not idle.
If you're at all interested in an amazing portable emulation device, I implore you. PLEASE pick this up. You won't regret it!
Get good emulators and change the settings and it runs just about everything just fine with no input lag. Gotta learn how to use the emulators and how to use the files in order to run them. Connect it to your pc and drop roms in the correct folders and download a bios if needed. If you do the wrong thing you just download any rom on the internet and when you do the right thing you only download the games that you already own for your old gameboy for example. This is THE handheld console in the circle of connoisseurs.
So you can confirm you can play a game like Mario World with no input lag? If so, which emulator do you use?
JUST BECAUSE IT IS A CLAMSHELL DESIGN DOES NOT MEAN IT IS RIPPING OFF THE NINTENDO DS.
ismael gallardo it's the same shell from the New 3ds XL
David Allen the 3ds has a left and right joystick? I don't think it does??? And the most obvious proof that it isn't a rip off is that it's lacking that terrible friction bottom touch display and instead uses a capacitive touch display on its main display
If you have owned one you'd be able to see how much they took directly from the 3DS despite hardware changes.
David Allen I have a 2ds and XD, yeah I do see similarities but you can only reinvent the wheel (clamshell hand held) so many times before it becomes cumbersome, unattractive, and impractical. I think most companies don't try making a clamshell handheld in fear of being called a "DS knockoff" because of how well known the DS is. The vision and core philosophy of the XD is different than that of the DS, that's more than enough reason to say this is not a rip off of the DS. GPD isn't trying to provide a DS experience, they are creating a better emulator and android gaming experience for those who are already heavily invested in the community and to welcome newcomers to the emulation community with a minimalistic, yet essential design that won't scare away many consumers.
That "odd button" is actually a screen mapping button (maps your buttons to on screen controls for games that don't support controls)
One Day Tunnel Bear will advertise Linus Tech Tips
Mupen 64 is a nintendo 64 emulator.. hehehe..
Gerald Ballesteros no Nintendo 64 is a Mupen 64 emulator
Almost 5 MILLION subscribers! Congrats Linus! You’re my inspiration!
Dapper Dop lol half a billion?
🤣 I didn’t have my glasses! I can’t see!
lol kk
you missed one more K miss.
Dapper Dop Stop self promoting your channel like a dumbass, you think we're stupid and didn't know ? Come on man...
picking yoshi? no wonder, linus always seemed like he was "that kid" and now we have proof
"Trust me, I'm pretty good at this game"
**runs away from bullet bill**
Well one thing I can say from my experience with the original Gpd XD the emulators that they include with the units tend to run like shit. To get the most out of the device you need to install your own from the play store. But Gpd shot themselves in the foot by sending Linus a Chinese review unit with no play store.
hamsterwolf yeah I have the XD and install emulators and games from the play store it runs amazing with all games. I know this is the upgraded version to the original xd, I’m hoping this new version can run dolphin and ps2 emulator bc another dude reviewer the xd+ and he said it’s very possible bc it’s a huge internal upgrade
If you bothered to get a GPD I'm pretty sure you're smart enough to set up your own emulator and play store, that's literally the market they're going for
I am testing GPd Xd+ and GC runs terribly. Only wind waker semi works until you go to open areas. This is mid end so for GC at least a SD820 or shield Tv is the minimum
I'm sorry, but after you said "I don't know what Mupen64 is" it was very hard for me to take the rest of the video seriously. 😂😂
LOL. "OK you got English." "Go back to China now"
2:50 China number one
How do they get away with straight up copying the chassis of the New Nintendo 3DS XL?
Its China. China doesn't care about copyright.
was just gonna say thankfully i was not the only one that noticed it
Soulr While Nintendo is known for clamshell handhelds they do not own the concept of them. GPD did nothing wrong when it comes to the hardware.
not talking about the clamshell desing only there are some point of the shell that are completely same as 3ds xl shell design to the point that the dampeners that are meant to make the lid not close down hard are on the same place and look the same.
I'm pretty sure they were talking about the clamshell design when they mentioned the "chassis". I guess Nintendo didn't or couldn't patent parts of the 3DS design that look similar here due to it being too general. Plus as others have mentioned GPD is a Chinese company.
Anyways, I don't see any problem with GPD using a 3DS like design when clamshell handhelds are a dime a dozen and the design doesn't appear to be patented. I do have a problem with the roms though and breaking the GPL license of some emulators it uses.
>Not picking toad, who's clearly fastest
FYI, this thing is basically built for emulators
Dolphin runs on the XD+ it is a 64bit processor.
Does anybody else find it utterly uncomfortable whenever Linus is bad at ANYTHING he always blames the thing.
It's technically not pirated, it's a trust thing where you can download the games off the web but you're only supposed to do it if you own the game.
I still want one of those little Windows 10 machines that could be used for gaming. I'm not a gamer, I just want a complete little computer.
So it's an emulator box.
nah Chinese dudes just installed n64 emulators on dat shit. I can play most of my n64 on a crappy phones with a better emulator than that shit emulators came with it.
Nah, it's an android box that for whatever reason comes with Emulator out of the box.
PROTOTYPE so I am betting they just loaded it up with roms before sending it to LTT so that they didn't have to do that themselves and I bet the Retail version won't be loaded up like that.
