The game Force Hardware had some issues, and the lack of support is what really killed it. My unit actually didn't have the issues that some of the other buyers had. So it's more of a manufacturing issue unless of a quality of chip issue. That being said the CPU of this needs to drop in price and come out for more handhelds I think in two more years we'll see under $100 handhelds having this CPU which can play PS2 just fine
Wow! Deadfred is at his best when he's reviewing oddball, obscure, or unloved handhelds. This T80 is right in the center of that particular Venn Diagram. What little I'd seen about the T80 before this video was people dunking on it. I've got to say though; after seeing it in use by a real person I've certainly changed my tune. This thing is both cool and lit at the same time. I still think it's crazy overpriced though. I checked the Amazon link in the description and, uh, yeah. That said, that screen is pretty special and I could easily see a 4:3 purist going, "Yep, that's the one for me! I don't care how much it costs." Was it repurposed from something else or is it custom made expressly for the T80?
So it was actually shipped! Blane if you see this let us know if you ever received yours!
Insert Retro Tech Dad OHNO meme here Loved that intro man, can't believe you tracked down one of these!
Classic
This is absolutely PEAK Deadfred - thanks for covering all the weirdest and rarest corners of this hobby
I liked the idea of that, but I won't be picking that one up. Great video Fred!
What an absolutely crazy handheld!
Is Amazon the only place to get it? It’s saying it’s unavailable on Amazon for me
I heard the Game Force Ace was bad. How would you compare this to that?

thanks ! glad you found it worth watching!
I forgot all about this thing
yes so did most people but maybe now that it exists it will find a very very tiny market
Android 12?? Forget it...
This piece of junk looks cobbled together. That price on Amazon is ludicrous.
yes the price is not worth it but it IS the largest 4:3 handheld that plays ps2/gamecube
