    That was awesome Chris 👍. Very interesting gadget you have there. So nice to see some video game content again. And of course I loved the Shenmue references

    I have one. I actually run Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and rocks compared to performance on Windows. Crazy fast and Steam rocks in it.

    Just come across this video . Wow I use my GPD1 in a very similar way. I use Reason 5 w Rebirth / Recycle and Audacity with my Behringer Uphoria (hd 2channel).. I also draw with Sai using a Huion Kamvas 16(2019). I am glad other peeps do this sort of thing. As a nineties kid dreaming of a handheld pc this thing was the long awaited answer. I will be getting a GPD3 after seeing how efficiently it handles less demanding software.

    Thinking about getting one of these, i have a more powerful PC and I don't need it, all I play are old arcade games, flash games and some smaller indie titles on Steam, I already have a PS4 for bigger games, aside from that, I access the internet, use discord, listen to music and, edit some videos on Sony Vegas from time to time, that's the majority of things I do on my PC, do you think this laptop will suffice my needs? I would buy a GPD Win 2, but, there is none avaible on my country at the time of writing this comment

    • @christhepocketmasterr
      @christhepocketmasterr Před 3 lety

      The win 1 is awesome for most of what you want, but when editing videos and doing discord stuff while gaming - the win 2 is the choice. The win 1 will get way too hott multitasking.

      It may depend on how the heat is on those devices, but I prefer the gpd win 1 over them just because it has a built-in controller for gaming.

      Ya. It was originally a mugen with 2 characters and 1 stage I believe. It was more of a template to get you started with the old school style of mugen. I just put characters and a few stages in there along with some music. You could find it on the mugen archives website. It's a good starting point if you haven't used mugen that much.

      @@RedBullAddict-_- I know you're talking to the other dude, but in order to have a good time with steam games on the win 1, you're going to have to do a lot of tweaking to the system. I would invest in a GPD Win 2 because out of the box you could play a lot of games off of steam with NO tweaking (you'll just have to tweak the games settings). The Win 2 is a lot better. But it's not to say that the win 1 is a bad system. It is a great system if you know your way around the win 1's faults.

      I do not recommend that emulator on the win 1 at all. Buy a switch instead of the win 1 if you want to play switch games. It's a cheaper investment.

      For me, it was fine. But it got wayyyy too hot after an hour of gameplay. I recommend investing in the win 2 to play games like halo because that system handles it a lot better. And it would have to be the direct pc port or off of steam. Games made for a pc.

    1.Can I ask how much is gpd win 1? Gpd win 2 is too expensive for me so I plan to buy gpd win 1.
    2.does gpd win 1 really can play any xbox 360, ps2 games when you insert the games inside gpd win 1?
    3.do you have to adjust yourself or gpd win 1 adjust for you for the best graphics?
    Thank you very much.

    • @christhepocketmasterr
      @christhepocketmasterr Před 4 lety +1

      I got mine for about $230 bucks on ebay. I got lucky in an auction. They should be cheaper now, but last time I saw it was around 400 to 500 bucks.
      This thing can handle 360 games if you tweak it a bit, but really you shouldn't because it gets unbelievably hot when you emulate playstation 2 or game cube games. If you want those games on the go, get a galaxy s10 or I think s8s can handle emulation good, but don't take my word. Watch videos of people emulating it.
      I love the gpd, but ultimately if you want to play 360 games or ps2 games in comfort, get a gaming laptop. It's worth getting it. I also have a predator helios 300. It was painfully expensive when I bought it, but totally worth it. I use it for pretty much everything I do. That thing could handle 360 games easily. You can't put it in your pocket though. Lol
      And OH! You have to constantly adjust the gpd settings. I find myself sacrificing graphics for gameplay. I have to always set everything low when I am playing steam games. I do not think it is worth getting when it comes to playing new cutting edge games, buuuut it's totally worth it for retro games as far up as the dreamcast.
