"I love using this thing to play games" that's an important part of this review. Side note, I like how everything on screen is yellow, including the background devices.
I don't have a Poobiedoop, but I finally ordered a Zazzbizzle when it went on sale for $51. So in a couple weeks I should be able to zazz and bizz to my heart's content while I sit on the poopiedoop throne. Good times.
I'm also one with a Zazzbizzle coming soon! Was able to snag a coupon on AliExpress and bought it for around $49. Insane price but really on the limit for me, as Brazilian import taxes above $50 are bonkers lately. Can't wait to zazz a lot with it :) also I might be installing muOS, it's light and simple enough but not too simple as MinUI :)
It's basically a smaller screen X55 with lovely yellow color and the dpad in the right place. Thanks for the review❤. Pow Kitty!!! My fav budget handheld company❤
Recessed joycon style thumbsticks are great for arcade fighting games due to it's short range of motion to be honest. I feel much more comfortable and confident to use them for doing special moves, that may be because I never had a handheld in my childhood but I spend a big chunk of it playing 2D fighting games on arcade cabinets. I wish that more people would try them for fighting games. I think they are way more superior to play with it instead of d-pad. Especially you are playing Street Fighter and KOF in general. It is an unpopular opinion but I know I can't be the only one here thinking so.
I used to mostly rely on retro game corps for buy or not decisions. I’ll be honest, this channel has replaced that for me. I dig the humor and approach (though still need Retro for his setup vids). My wife and I do have a running argument about whether this is your everyday voice or not. Thank you for your hard work
I love the V90 too, and I also wish they would do a V100 or something like that, with a bit more juice so we get reasonable PS1 performance. It can still run some PS1 games well enough, like Legacy of Kain, but it would be great to have the whole PS1 library running smoothly. Maybe... Saturn too? A man can dream.
I like the fact that it's all loaded. I probably could figure out how to load it and such but this is great for me. Could you maybe do a top 5 in this category?
TechDweeb is the CC who's my go-to person when my non-retro-knowing friends want to get into the hobby because what is an entertaining way to introduce them to it but Tech Dweeb shenanigans? LMAO. He explains it with so much genuine enthusiasm and less of the tech terms, benchmarks and as much as I love other UA-camr's work, Tech Dweeb hits the spot when it comes to finding the nostalgic feeling of fangirling over these tiny devices and brings excitement to the hobby which others find tiresome to do because they're "adults" already. I could imagine a kid who doesn't know what retro gaming is will find why we loved them as a child.
It seems to be an X55-ish with the controls moved about. It's sitting on that mid performance bump where joysticks come in, but d-pads are still important. With having an RGB30 and an X55, this really doesn't add much for me, but it'll be great for some.
@@davidquaye It's a good handheld for older platform, but it struggles with PSP, which you'd think it designed for, given the layout. You're best bet is to watch the reviews on it, they'll go over things better than I. Jelos has stopped development I believe. Rocknix is the new one for the X55. I don't know of any others.
@@TechDweeb I think it's MagicX's proprietary standalone emulator. Every other game tests normally but Conker's Bad Fur Day is playable with MagicX's proprietary standalone emulator. I hope you didn't completely wipe your stock firmware card.
Things are really going to pop off when the Poobiedoop 2 drops! On a different note, do you think the 3566 is more powerful than the H 700 that’s in the 35XXH? I think it would make a great video to compare those two chips.
I put Rocknix on this and am having all of the charging issues I keep hearing about. I'm not sure if it's even charging and the battery is not accurate is there any solution?
I have to say it's become my favorite (cheapish) horizontal handheld, POW-KITTY!!! you've done it again. However, the Bluetooth support on mine doesn't seem to be functional. It says that it's scanning for devices, but to always reports back with nothing found. I don't now what's up with it.
Bummer about your Bluetooth. Mine seems to be working fine (just tried it with the 8bitdo zero2 controller). I assume you've tried different controllers to no avail? I suppose there's a chance that a fresh OS flash would help. Maybe try the new Rocknix firmware if you're desperate?
@@TechDweeb Thaks TD, I'll give it a try. Not really desperate just yet, I really don't know what's up with it. It just says its searching then reports back absolutely nothing.
Awesome video TechDweeb! I've been so tempted to get one of these... As someone who has made two excellent videos on both: between this and the Retroid Pocket Flip - which would you say is the most comfortable experience? Ergonomically-speaking, taking all other specs out of the equation
The more I think of it, I might call it the poobiedoop. I have a powkiddy max2, and I will never say that mouthful. Leaving me to call it a powkiddy sounds childish at best, and plain weird at worst. Poobiedoop reign.
Nice review! I'm still torn to choose between this or the TrimUI Smart Pro. honest question though.. Why do you sound like some Hanna Barbera cartoon character??? Is that your real voice or your YT persona? lol
Are the triggers better than the x55 or the same? If they could sort those And make a raised membrane like d pad And do it for around the 100-120 I'm all in
D PAD is One of the most important things, is it worse then SF2000? Or 36S? I just unscrew One screw a little bit and they were ok. BTW multicore Ultracore are workin well on SF2000 at the time. My last 2video were about that 90percent speed GBA such Nice and cheap GBA and Also Pico 8🎉
I'm looking for Atari games, but this looks good enough. It's not easy to find a decent hand-held with lots of games and all those options for this price.
You may complain more about JelOS when you realize they've officially dropped Powkiddy (i.e. 3566) devices, so will be making no more releases (you've gotta build it yourself, hoping _someone_ has fixed the bugs). The latest release that was supposed to be the last one also broke wifi for some, and bluetooth for all, and you can't get prior releases anymore because of the Citra/Yuzu fiasco. Real unfortunate. Can always try ArkOS I guess.
@@mindluge This is true, but it is in beta and not ready, so I'd advise against it for now vis a vis the RGB30 (as many issues currently being worked on). 20240222 was the last JelOS w/ working WiFi & Bluetooth, but you now have to build it yourself (until ROCKNIX is ready to roll that is...)
@@ScottZiegler you are right about the issues they are working on. for the x55 you have to build it yourself, not for the others though (this is due to the x55 requiring a different bootloader)
For the price difference I think the powkiddy x28 is a much better deal. The RGB 10 max is $90 for the 64gb The x28 is $130 So $40 more and you get a better SOC, 4x the RAM, a better screen, better ergonomics, and it runs Android
I dunno man. This thing is a big "Meh" for me. At the moment I'm really excited about the RG cube. Can't wait to see what you think about it when it releases.
Hey TD, I bought one of these and when trying to clone the 128gb sd card, it tells me it's full, even though I removed some files and can see when I look at the properties that it's not full. Is my sd card corrupt? I can't find a way to repair it after searching solutions online. Lmk if anyone has experienced this. 🙏
If it doesn’t run all generations of consoles I don’t want or need it my setup runs all from 1980-Now with the exception of PS5/xbox x/s I’ve been waiting for years for more power within a handheld for a reasonable price that isn’t an Odin Steam or pocket retroid
Wait, it’s the powkiddy, not powkitty, so shouldn’t you have a kid punching instead of a kitty? Would that make the video too violent? Or am I just overthinking things
The darker the world gets,I'm so happy you are here to make me smile. Thank You. Much Older Man.
Happy to bring some goofiness to your life :D
Love your Pow Kitty graphic, Mr. Dweeb. Always makes me smile.
That's a great name. A handheld with that name would definitely sell.
"I love using this thing to play games" that's an important part of this review. Side note, I like how everything on screen is yellow, including the background devices.
Coming up with such a stellar name in such a short space of time is remarkable. I don't know how you do it 😅
I'm a dweeb of many talents
It cost 100 usd here so saddddd
"Does it come in my favorite color?" "YES!" I don't know why Retroid dropped yellow from their color options.
And if Canada found out that people like it, they would just ban it.
I second this emotion
My comment was apparently removed, just proving the point.
I don't have a Poobiedoop, but I finally ordered a Zazzbizzle when it went on sale for $51. So in a couple weeks I should be able to zazz and bizz to my heart's content while I sit on the poopiedoop throne. Good times.

Sad that they screwed up the D-pad, thats like the most important thing for me in a handheld. Thanks for a great vid!!

One of the handhelds of all time
It's definitely the handheld ever
Missed opportunity: A huge chunk of cheese on the desk would have been a perfect addition.
Kudos for making me bust out laughing… something you can get behind, but it was only a sticker, so you went back to the front 🤣 Thanks TechDweeb!
D-Pad makes this a massive no sadly 😢 loved everything else about it.
@3:41 that's a fun little edit. Had to sub
Also, I'm considering getting one of these for my nephew and making sure he knows the true name is Poobiedoop

Have I watched a techDweed video before: No
Did I enjoy it: Yes
Will I subscribe: Yes
Will I say thanks for subscribing? No.
pow kitty should hire you to name their handhelds lol
Once again, CommieTube removing/hiding comments for no reason whatsoever.
Made a comment and it was removed. Made a comment about that comment, and it was also removed. Let's see if this one is removed as well.
PowKiddy should just go with abbreviated names PK10M3
I can get behind that
I like the fact that it's all loaded. I probably could figure out how to load it and such but this is great for me. Could you maybe do a top 5 in this category?
Proof that that’s a real shirt and not just sleeves.
Another banger review TD!
I think Ill wait for the Poobiedoop #2😂😂😂

That was such a nice read. Made my day, thanks so much!
Probably not worth getting if you have an X55, unless the d-pad placement is a must.
Wait - you and Retro Game Corps are friends??? My 2 heroes.
It seems to be an X55-ish with the controls moved about. It's sitting on that mid performance bump where joysticks come in, but d-pads are still important.
With having an RGB30 and an X55, this really doesn't add much for me, but it'll be great for some.
Hi. Is the X55 worth getting? Can you run other operating systems on it other than Jelos?
@@davidquaye It's a good handheld for older platform, but it struggles with PSP, which you'd think it designed for, given the layout.

@@foznoth ok, thanks very much
Your “You know? Yea you do😉”
can be your version of
Russ’s “yea man, i wanna do it”
When does this Poobiedoop get released?
It's out now my dude!
I'll probably pick up another rgb30 over this but this seems like a decent alternative if you dont care about a good pico 8 screen that much.
After i received the blue transparent, now i wish I order yellow one instead
Colourway regrets. Been there many times!
It/s soo good that I completelly forgot how good it was just because I couldn/t remember it/s name... And it/s true
The companies making these kinds of handheld needs to give us grips. It is hard to find one and without grip, it is not comfortable to play at all.
0:52 To be fair the MagicX XU10 can actually play Conker's Bad Fur Day. My RK3566 devices can't surprisingly sadly. 😥
Really? What secret sauce is that!?!
@@TechDweeb I think it's MagicX's proprietary standalone emulator. Every other game tests normally but Conker's Bad Fur Day is playable with MagicX's proprietary standalone emulator. I hope you didn't completely wipe your stock firmware card.
Poobiedoop yes…. I dont need your…. anymore )))
Things are really going to pop off when the Poobiedoop 2 drops! On a different note, do you think the 3566 is more powerful than the H 700 that’s in the 35XXH? I think it would make a great video to compare those two chips.
The Sony Walkman plays games now.
I hope they contract you to name the next Steam Deck iteration... No one would miss a x86 Poobiedoop supported by Valve.
I put Rocknix on this and am having all of the charging issues I keep hearing about. I'm not sure if it's even charging and the battery is not accurate is there any solution?
Yup. Open it up, and unplug the battery for 10 seconds. Then plug it in, put it back together, and power on. Should be correct.
@@TechDweeb thanks I just got told that on the retro handheld discord as well. Will check it out

The reason Pow Kitty don't learn anything is because all their devices are AI generated randomly every other week just Ambernic.
Awesome video TechDweeb! I've been so tempted to get one of these...
As someone who has made two excellent videos on both: between this and the Retroid Pocket Flip - which would you say is the most comfortable experience? Ergonomically-speaking, taking all other specs out of the equation
Just wanted to buy this one when it was the anual sale. Was not sure, if is ok, but decided to get RG Arc-S. :)
The ARC is amazing! Definitely worth owning an ARC because it's one of the most unique handhelds out there.

honest question though.. Why do you sound like some Hanna Barbera cartoon character??? Is that your real voice or your YT persona? lol
Does this have Saturn content? Thats my favorite retro system ❤

For the price difference I think the powkiddy x28 is a much better deal.

The x28 is $130
So $40 more and you get a better SOC, 4x the RAM, a better screen, better ergonomics, and it runs Android
Are the buttons loud like on a x55?
L1 and R1 are a little clicky, but not nearly as bad as the X55.
