      +Abracadab22 The Vita is a solid gaming system. The Switch is pretty much the same thing as the Vita. The only difference being that the Vita has a much bigger gaming library. That being said I like them both.

    • @RippahRooJizah
      @RippahRooJizah 6 років тому +9

      Yeah, in terms of breadth of content and portability the Vita had more going for it. And if you're considering going the hacking route, there's a pretty active Vita hacking scene out there. Compared to the Switch which, by virtue of being newer doesn't have nearly as much for it.

    • @TonyDaExpert
      @TonyDaExpert 6 років тому +48

      JetteroHeller83 but the Switch can support much bigger games like Skyrim, BOTW and Xenoblade 2 which is bigger than both of the previous I mentioned combined I understand that really long games with huge worlds aren’t for everyone tho. Honestly tho just wait for the Switch to get hacked until then you can stick to the VIta for Emus.

    • @jeffmoore4838
      @jeffmoore4838 6 років тому +5

      JetteroHeller83 I have the Vita and the Vita is pretty shitty with AAA games and lots of frame rate drops .. the switch has the same graphics as the Vita with a lot of games and it actually has Nintendo's support unlike with the Vita but Vita has the switch beat with the online in-game chats

    The JXD S192 initially had a Tegra K1 in it. Soon after it released , Nvidia pulled supply of the Tegra K1which meant that JXd had to scramble for a SOC replacement , in the end having to use the Rockchip 3288. The intial K1 version, if you find one, was actually pretty good.

      @rodmunch69 6 років тому +1

      Of course you could just buy an Nvidia Shield tablet and get a controller. The Shield is a 7" tablet and they have controllers that expand and hold the Shield in the middle - it's like having a giant Nintendo Switch - which it basically is since it's all the same processor. The Shield Handheld has pre-K1 Tegra chipset that isn't all that much slower, but Nvidia abandoned it on Android 5 - but you can run up to Nintendo DS games without any problems on it - and it's very comfortable to hold at 5" with a beefy controller, it's basically like using an original XBOX Duke controller, which I personally like.

Thanks to a comment on a random video for Einhander lets play I found both games. I used to play these so much as a kid and got to the point that I almost couldn't remember them. Thanks for choosing to include the game in your video, now I can finally play these games past the demo

    • @Nintendrew
      @Nintendrew 6 років тому +18

      Not usually while searching, but tons of games/Happy Chick emulators did crash on launch... But my biggest issue was the camera. For some weird reason, everything is tinted red until the camera focuses on something green! Does yours have any such issue? haha
      Edit: By the way, the system comes with a pre-installed screen protector, which may be why there are 2 spots on the screen. Did you try removing the protector? Might be worth a shot :)

  • @LonSeidman
    @LonSeidman 6 років тому +51

    I've done quite a bit with input delay on my channel.. It's a combination of hardware and the emulators. The best performance I've seen so far out of a modern game playing device is the Analogue NT Mini. Even on faster devices like the Nvidia Shield tablet / TV the emulation itself introduces some latency. Those timings are hard to replicate in software.

    • @ManuelKoegler
      @ManuelKoegler 6 років тому +1

      Lon.TV that's mostly because the Analogue NT isn't strictly emulating the NES (or other platforms for that matter).

      I'm using a oneplus one, which is a 3 year old phone, with retroarch, a multi-core retro app which is mostly used for emulators, and a $12 Bluetooth controller from China, and I'm having an infinitely better experience with retro emulation than what was shown here. And it can make phone calls. Through retroarch, most android phones can run most emulators up to psx nearly flawlessly, and my Chinese 12-button Bluetooth controller imparts next to no lag. Certainly nothing even approaching noticeable.

      If you use and OTG cable and a mini USB, dualshock 3 controllers are natively compatible with Android (and the button mappings are good out the box, because some android games don't allow you to remap). There is a company selling a device that allows to X360 controllers are hit and miss (on some devices it doesn't work, and the mappings aren't always right). I also used a PS2 controller through a USB adapter (but the mappings were wrong). Good thing is, emulators always allow you to do custom mappings.

    I kinda get that he would be frustrated with this. However, the problems he had with the emulators (N64, PSP and Dreamcast) are normally not because of the hardware itself, its because the emulators aren't yet good enough on the android. I have the Shield K1 tablet (which has about the same specs as the S192), which runs the games as well as this

      It isn't defective. It is a feature. They did it to ensure that you wouldn't play the device for more than the recommended amount of time. Eventually you just can't ignore those spots in the screen any more which causes you to stop playing it.

    The input delay on my device is also quite noticeable, but only when plugged in to a TV over HDMI. I've had no problems playing SNES games in handheld mode.

      Android 5.1 on a console?
      It doesn't even support Vulkan API. So, it can't run any games that looks more or less modern. I bought PS Vita like a month ago for about $100 with 32 gig card, two games and a bag. And it definitely is better

    To answer your question about input lag, retroarch now has an option to “advance frames” and it will allow you to (in a way) remove the lag.

    I have that machine. Bought it about a year ago at around $200 with the purpose of emulator games on the go. Mame, nes, snes and genesis mainly. All you said here is true. The delay in emulators is almost unnoticeable, android games run fast and smooth, but the screen they used to build this is just garbage. The touch area became more and more unresponsive and nowadays is completely non responsive. I have to use the right thumbstick as pointer and type letters on the keyboard with that. A nightmare

    Awesome video as always mate! That is one of the most overpriced bits of kit I have ever seen.... but
    I want one haha! From the looks of it, its not very well configured which lets the hardware down. Not that its a beast out the box anyways from the specs... but should easily cope with most of the games you shown off. HOWEVER....
    Most of the issues I had seen from the games tested was more to do with the choice of the emulator. Not even sure what many of those shown are, and thats saying something. Then throw in the fact its Android, some emus love that OS, some hate it, some not even supported. But, N64 and Dreamcast never play all games using one emu on any system... Its just a case of where the emulation dev is up to in most cases. But Crazy Taxi? That should be working on all good DC emus at this point.
    Controller Lag... arrrrgh. Yes it can be a side effect from emulation, but easily rectified in most cases by either using a better or well suited emulator to run it. Or configuring hardware as it should be. From the looks of the basic setup they gave you little to no effort was made with that, its a shame as with controls built in, it should be golden out the box. But the fact they gave you one with defects on the screen kinda sums what you would expect from them in the long run.
    TL:DR
    Its overpriced and ill configured. Hopefully access to Play Store may give you more options. But as always a fantastic video from one of my fave creators! Thanks mate :D

    $329 for a Rockchip RK3288 powered device? That's a mid-range SOC that came out in 2014! It's wayyyy underpowered for that price!
    I'm curious though, what SNES and Genesis emulators did this come pre loaded with? There are both really good and bad emulators available on the play store. Some run better than others, and yes, some have better input response times. MyBoy (a GBA emulator) for example runs games very well, but has horrific input lag. I even argued with the developer about it lol.
    I personally recommend uninstalling every one of those pre loaded emulators and downloading the ".emu" series of apps from Robert Broglia. Also, that N64 emulator looks way out of date. Get the current Mupen64 plus FZ emulator free from the Play Store. All the others are imitations. I've been emulating on Android phones for like 5 years, so if you need any advice, just ask!

      I have a JXD 7800, which was only $150. It's been good for replaying old GBA games using emulation, but kinda crap for anything else. In particular, the wifi reception is poor, and the stock Android build is terrible. You can upgrade the ROM with fan-made ROMs that are better, but it's still pretty much amateur hour. Also, lately it's been giving warnings about overheating.
      I really like the idea of a 7" Android gaming tablet, but so far nobody has made one that is really good.

  • @qqq1701
    @qqq1701 6 років тому +10

    I'm always surprised when I see a current device have any trouble at all with older systems like the NES, SNES, or even N64 generation. I used to play emulated NES/SNES/Genesys on my pc around 98. Just a couple years later I was playing GBA and N64 shortly after. That was nearly 20 years ago. How could it not be the simplest thing now?

    • @BCProgramming
      @BCProgramming 6 років тому +4

      Because most emulators now aim for some modicum of accuracy, and the emulators like Nesticle, ZSNES, etc. which were filled with hacks to get games playable don't often have ports to other platforms that can be used as a base.

    • @hinph
      @hinph 6 років тому

      I honestly doubt the device is to blame here. It's probably just lousy emulators.
      The .emu series of emulators and cores in Retroarch work fantastic on Android. No noticeable flaws in emulation or input lag even using a wireless 8bitdo controller.

    • @ultimateman1234
      @ultimateman1234 6 років тому +1

      Keep in mind that the modern hardware doing the emulating is not only running the software, but it is "running the hardware" as well. An emulator is a piece of software that attempts to simulate hardware. This is much more demanding on hardware than running the software alone. That combined with the fact that the average guy who's creating an emulator is probably not quite as skilled, well financed, well supported and doesn't have as much time to dedicate as the best triple-A programmers at the best companies of today and you run into limitations.

      the switch isn't actually using a dedicated GPU similar to intel processors. the switch has a quad-core processor with what is presumably clock speeds of 1.6ghz (no official info has actually been released to my knowledge) with a graphics processor that has 256 with a max clock speed of roughly 0.8ghz (again, these numbers aren't official). the GPD WIN has a quad-core intel atom clocked at 1.6ghz (2.3ghz turbo) with a graphics processor that has 128 cores clocked at 0.4ghz (0.8ghz turbo). with all of this being said it is roughly half as fast give or take the nintendo clock speeds and has nintendo games. with that being said the GPD is smaller, has a much longer battery life (roughly 8 hours), far more games, and can be used as a desktop PC due to it having windows and more ports.
      this should be better than me saying that it should run on it compared to X game.

    If you want to sync a controller(at least for bluetooth devices) with no delay, download "Bluetooth Autoconnect" from the android store, go to Advanced settings there will be a "Retry After (Secs)" section go there and put 5 seconds or under. This works for many bluetooth gamepads wantings to play smoothly with android emulators.
