It looks really good all over, as you said the only real downside is the bumpers
Works out to be lest than 80p a game I think, fantastic value considering the names of some of the titles already included!
Yeah man, bumpers and a real cartridge, but yeah, thinking about it that's dang cheap!
Well that is obviously for the next revamp lol
its unavailable btw. clapclap
No wonder!! Its a tiny wonder on your palm, would sold out even faster if it could vibrate lol
less than 0.08p a game
0. I am Chinese and I knew some review videos will show up online sooner or later and this is one of them, I knew it because this console showed up in the Chinese market a while ago and (Chinese) people had been talking about it in the gaming community since it came out.
1. I was about to preorder one but I ended up changing my mind, because ALL (not most, but ALL) of the gamers who received this console said that it had some serious slow-down and frame-drop issues. For those Pokemon or some RPG/strategy games, it is acceptable, but for those action games, it is literally unplayable. If you ordered this console and have it in hand, try some of the action games, e.g. Contra, Castlevania, Megaman, etc. you will understand what I am talking about in 2-3 minutes. Unless they fixed it or somehow updated the firmware, which I doubt, it will have these issues.
2. The screen on this console IS from the Gameboy Advance Micro, yes, you heard it right, it is literally the old stock screens from some old ware house somewhere in China. If you have the GBM, you can compare them yourself. But this screen here has some strange settings that the color on this screen is a little bit too 'blue' (or say it's a little bit too 'cold'), it might have something to do with the driver. The good thing about the screen, however, is that it has a 1:1 pixel perfect aspect ratio without any stretch.
3. The build quality is pretty good though, the d-pad and face buttons are OK but the shoulder buttons (L and R) are not very comfortable, at least for some people.
4. Overall, I would suggest to do more research before you order. For a time, I was thinking we are finally having a Chinese console that does not suck, but apparently not.
PS: Great video!
Guangsi Han do you know how this compares to the bittboy? Also do you know of any better game boy emulator handheld?
What about the GB Boy? Would you say that sucks?
I don't own either of these, but I do know that the BitBoy has tons of hacked (not in a good way) and pirated nes games and you can't add/change ROMs to it. I don't know of any better game boy emulator handhelds, it just seems like each has its own problems and none of them is good enough for me.
That GB Boy Colour has the biggest issue: wrong aspect ratio, but it does have a backlight screen, so does it suck? I'd say yes and no...
Great reply! Happy that it is 1:1 pixel perfect, but a shame that the CPU is not powerful enough.
Unfortunately another review said that it won't play original GB or GB Color games. :/
But will it run Crysis
No, but DOOM will run beautifully.
samvid reddy hahaha xDDDD
dead meme
@@DarekGreenly really?
Could do with a bigger screen, but it looks nice!
Agreed, thanks for watching J!
Yep, would have brought it straight away if the screen was bigger.
Agreed, same size as a GBA micro which I found too small.
the problem is you can't have size with widescreen LCDs in handhelds. If it's wide, it needs to fit the dimensions of the handheld case. So you lose screen space in the vertical areas. That's why a 4:3 or a 1:1 display would make a lot more sense. And would be a lot more authentic too.
Question: Does it have an RTC? Also, does A+B+START+SELECT work? One game I'd want to have loaded on that would be Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening, and it uses that button combo to bring up the save screen.
I'm a huge fan of portable emus but I don't like how small they are getting. Personally really like having the system fit in both of my hands.
Hell yeah, way better than using a mobile phone to play via an emulator...
Amy Carter You know you csn use controllers on phones and the form factor of this is shit.
waterheart95 you know how bothersome it is to have to use a controller for phones? Like to carry it with you everywhere. Also sometimes they lag input.
Did you buy it? How does Contra, Castlevania, Megaman work on it? Any problems?
But if you take one of these with you wouldn't you have your phone anyway? So still 2 devices...
I don't understand why anyone worries about viewing angles on these products, in what genuine scenario is that going to affect your experience?
For me it just shows the quality of the screen, poor quality screens tend to have very bad viewing angles.
Depends on the product for me. Lap tops piss me off. Especially expensive ones with werid light bleeding. This device not so much
YouDontKnowMe yes but the settings or something have clearly been altered in some fashion. The picture quality, while not terrible, isn’t the quality of the GBM.
YouDontKnowMe and I might play a game at weird angle if I’m laying in bed, or like my brother’s friends when he was in the navy, all of those guys had game boys, I remember playing Pokémon with them on the ship when I got to go on it with him, and sometimes when you are on those ships you end up in weird spots and angles playing your games, the bunks are not very big. That’s just one example with the bunks. And before that my brother was on submarines, and I’m sure it was worse there.
Looks like a remodeled Dingoo (same menu, same GBA emulation issues). I loved my Dingoo until I lost it, esp. with running Dingux to get better sega emulators. My biggest complaint about Dingux was the lack of uniformity among the emulators interface (some you launched by selecting a ROM from the file browser, some by launching the emulator and using their own file picker, every one had different ways of loading options menus and/or exiting games, etc.)
Starting a review with "there's fuck all to it" is a great sign in my book. You've got a new subscriber!
Hi Brandon, does it come with the SD card preinstalled with the Pokemon games? Thanks mate
It looks sweet! Does it only play SNES games? I'd love to find one that plays Atari 2600, NES, SNES and Genesis roms.
Lovely Video brandon , subbed ! Does it support cheats ? and can we change the background ?
Is it easy to play? I always liked the size and feel of both the original gameboy and GBC.
Really neat looking, but how is it possible that the Roms are bundled and that this thing can sell on Amazon in the West? The screen (according to a chinese commenter it's the GBM original) looks amazing. What about the rumored slowdown in action games? Thanks for the great video!
2:10 that's faster than my 3ds 😂
Hold on. This may be a shot in the dark but I think the OS in this thing is a clone of the Dingoo A320, an older emulation handheld from China that made its rounds back in the day.
I wonder if you could load Dingux (the "jailbreak" for the Dingoo) onto this thing
Interesting, ill take a look into that.
I have a Dingoo A220, and the menu interface looks almost identical. Even where it calls the internal memory "U-Disk".
it uses the same chip set, so does the RS-97 that just came out. i'm betting you could do it no problem.
BL5-C Thats a cellphone battery, my Nokia 1100 had one of those.
Thank for the unboxing review. I ordered one already. I plan to make a 3d prind trigger button extension.
John Raymond T. Domingo is it worth buying?
Its the same as the one I have just not a GB style cost $19.92nzd free shipping
NZD? Dayum thats cheap!

Wow, that's strange. It looks like it has a camera.
+MrJ0mmy that's awesome, I'm gonna get one but does it save the games too? Pls reply man
yeah it should it does not just play gba games it plays megadrive gb gbc snes nes too
“The save file will be loaded”
“The game can be played”
Those texts shouldn’t show up on a normal Pokémon game. It’s a bootleg. But all those games for £40 is pretty good.
just down the page on that one there's one that's a landscape console looks like maybe from the same company called Retro Game, would you maybe consider reviewing that one?
lol'd at the BL-5C batteries..10+ years later it's still being used for many handheld devices.
>One second in, looks good!
>3 seconds in, can see it getting abysmal stutter and framerate
Oh, it's shit! Too bad, what a waste.
That error info at the beginning of Pokemon Emerald means that there's no working in-game clock, pretty minor thing, but worth noting.
From the thumbnail I thought this was unbox therapy ,but the I saw the emoji .
thanks for the heads up on this, gonna pick one up. And if it really good, might pick up a couple for my niece and nephew.
I can only find this on AliExpress, but it says it comes with a TF-Card and not SD-Card?
Hmmmm.... Yep you're my favorite youtuber. Awesome job bro. I JUST WISH THIS HAD A CARD SLOT FOR GAMES.
£40 actually seems high for something I'd rather replace the innards with a Pi Zero or something. Nice little device, but if it slows down and doesn't take carts... those are a bit of a downer.
how is the screen? is it plastic or glass? easy to scratch? do you have any scratches yet?
No physical cartridges and the pokemon games can't use the link cable or wireless thingy to trade.
LCD Display = Liquid Crystal Display Display
Vc aqui?
Have you tried the Golden Sun games? If so, were there any frame rate issues?
When we go to search for games where do we find them, or what do we search for?
"The save file will be loaded. The game can be played" lmao
So I guessing that with bumper that small it wouldn't be easier on big hands over time
I bought this for christmas a while back and was wondering how could i add a speed up option
Does it play original gameboy & gbc games or just GBA?
Are there any retroboys that play actual cartridges as well?
so it comes preloaded with games. that sounds a little illegal to me
Thank you for this great review!
They're called shoulder buttons, not bumpers. Microsoft's terminology for shoulder buttons was 15 years later than the SNES which invented them...
but bit boy have turbo buttons :) and it is not emulator like this! it is NOAC inside I guess :)
Based on the Menu of this, it almost looks like the Dingoo. Does it have the FM Radio?
Hey do you think you could test the game Driver 2 for me? I've had trouble emulating it on old systems, and my last knockoff GBA got probably 1 fps in driver 2 looking down a street. How well does this run it?
3:32 "You can tell it's a little bit MISTY.." (while showing Pokemon)
I'm onto you....
On Kickstarter there is something like that but smaller
Why wouldn't you just emulate on your smartphone, there must be some good controllers that snap on to it right?
Looks nice if all you want are GB games.. but i wish somebody would release an RPi Zero based unit like this. It would easily run GBA an lots of other stuff
do you need wifi? for it to work ?
or an sd card....if so does it come with an sd card
do a comparison between retro mini and revo k101 plus please
Can you actually put a cartridge in it?
You gotta play Super Mario Land 2 DX :-) it's awesome
I guess I can to stick to it two months before the Gameshell next release.
Could you add games or use a different sd card if you wanted to?
Can it play multiplayer with another RetroMini?
is there a USA amazon link?
This looks lit. It is so cool. It is totally worth it.
Do games run at full speed or is there obvious lag?
do they make these in a larger size without me having to drop 300 on a gameboy zero?
I've got one but I'm struggling on how to get more games!
name a folder on the root of the sd card named "GAME".
Your welcome
I was reading from were u buy it n it only says that it comes with 32 games, someone please explain
I wonder if this is the same hardware as the Dingoo A320
can it play NES as well from the card?
does the screen have the same resolution as the original gba screen? is it 1:1 pixel perfect?
They just sent me one of these today 😂 guess I'll see what kinda stuff I can get going that's not on it now
Can this run doom
Please say
Pretty cool system, really like that's it has a light in there
I'm in love😍
Does it play GB,GBC and GBA rom hacks?
Hm... I have a Gameboy micro and if I was to buy an easy flash IV for it, I would have something very similar to that, and, the easy flash IV costs less. Still a pretty cool console though.
Thanks for stopping by Adam!
Is anyone having problems charging their mini. Got mine in mail and I've been trying to get it to charge but it won't get more then 50%
Which roms does it play? Only GBA or also NES, SNES, GB(C) and so on?
Tarik A. Yeah you can play all of those
Do the games actually save?
Sounds really promising and I'm considering to get one. On amazon there's a meh review complaining abt the GBA games' frame rate. What can you say abt that?
I have noticed a few drops in some games, but not enough for me to complain. It happens very rarely. Putting in a fast read/write SD card may solve that.
Nice video,this gameboy replica is the best for the travels in my opinion
It's pretty compact! Thanks for stopping by Noob!
so wait, it comes with a built in SD card?
"There's fuck all to it". 100% british
Yeah, one of my friends told me about this. Its amazing he said.
Quick question, I doubt it’s possible but does it work with wireless play with other gbas
looks like dingoo OS ?!! wat else can it run ???
It's a Dingoo. Somebody must have had some overstock.
is it possible to put on flight mode ?
The display resolution is native GBA resolution, no more dumb interpolation and its pixel perfect? Guess I'm buying one.
So you can add more games via the card slot?
Yes. Simply add them to the SD card provided. :)
Ok so I’m looking for something like this cause I want to play the old Pokémon games because I grew up on them I want the option to save as well so can someone help me
Oy mate, got me interested. Whats the battery life like?
8+ hours。→ https: //funnyplaying.com/collections/game-consoles/products/retro-game-console-32-bit-portable-mini-handheld-game-players-built-in- 548-for-gba-classic-games
I prefer the kevo. It supports rims and the real carts.
Can you put GBC and GB games on it too?
I got this one and i cant play duke nukem, it works but at 3fps
I can already feel that this device is going to be as famous as Revo K101. Revo was somewhere around $60 now it's $120.
I'm getting the Revo K101 in very soon. :)
Brandon Salt great! Looking forward to see a review amd comparison.
what about pixel scaling? is it perfect scaling or you can switch between "1:1" and stretched?
There’s just one aspect ratio unfortunately, no stretching. :/
Back bumpers silicone or microswitch?
Buyers beware. These Retro Minis sometimes come with boards that have no MicroSD socket soldered on which leaves you with a micro SD slot that is useless (unless you solder one onto the board yourself). The list of onboard ROMs is always different too it seems. All the games are in chinese, no matter what language you set that thing to. So keep that in mind when you wanna get one of these. The thing also has no "Retro Mini" written under the display but has an all black frame. other than that everything is identical. Same menus, same box, same content, same design.
Thanks for letting everyone know. Very good points!
It might be a faulty batch I guess. If someone manages to solder a micro SD holder onto the board it could be used just as the regular Retro Mini versions. But I think the money is better spent with a GB Boy Colour :P
I cant believe Try from My life in Gaming never covered this in the Game Boy RGB episode
Does the sd card come with it?
Can you watch videos through micro sd ?
Where can i buy one of this in Italy??
Ive ordered it :) between march 12 to 24 my order will be send to my home
