Yeah I remember those LCD handhelds with just one game built in. My mind would have exploded if someone frome the future gave me this little device back then ;)
Cheers man. Yeah, the screen on this is really nice as it was on the previously reviewed CoolBaby handheld I covered. This company does use some nice screens for sure.
The game around 8:45 seems to be a romhack of an Atlus game based on *Wacky Races*, where you play as Dick Dastardly's dog. It's a pretty decent platformer! It seems quite obscure, as I haven't found many people on the internet that knew about it. The screen on this cheap thing looks better than I expected!
HAHA - Right as you ask the question, "So is this machine worth getting," you bring up the games list again and right there!! BAM - GUN NAC! Friggin' love it! Can't wait to own my own fami-pocket, though i'll be able to with the Tlex Ulike. I know I can do all this crap on my phone, but I hate playing LUNAR2 MCD/SCD with those invisible buttons on the screen!! BRO - I'm digging your channel!! I've seen your comparison vids for a while, and didn't make the connection. I like CGR, Pat the Nes Punk, AVGN, Turboviews tons, but you totally deserve a spot on that list. Not brown nosing bro. Digging the honesty, and you constantly use footage from games i'm obsessed with. Shooters mostly, GunNac, GigaWing, StarBlade, Thunderforce 4 - F*ck yeah dude!! Check out Mushihime Sama for Mame and Shoomachi on android. PS - That Aether game was a Macross hack.
Thanks for the comment Charles! I'm glad you're liking the content of the channel. Also thanks for the heads up on the Aether game being a Macross hack. I have Mushihime Sama on the 360, fantastic game. Really do enjoy playing that. maybe some day I should do a video on shooters I enjoy.
HAHA - Actually it was another one of your fami-pocket knock off vids, where you played Famicom Macross that clued me in. I'm a huge fan of the movie "Macross : Do you remember love," and that game used the song "Shao Pai Long." Aether was just the same #$%^ only no Minmay hitting the gong. Again, not trying to hype my vids, i'm just seeing some cool similarities in our games. Here's another one I did with a bunch of captured shooter footage. Me and my X-girlfriend did the KMFDM remix, and the lyrics seemed apt for the footage. I still haven't done my huge "shooter" documentary party...but this was a fun teaser vid. ua-cam.com/video/HIYND7egMyU/v-deo.html
1:08 are you sure about the video out port? looks like a mini usb port to me ... maybe to charge when you put in a lithium cell or power it up without battery?
I have a friend who has this Mark, For $5 dollars its not a financial lose for sure. It does have its charm on giving you good gameplay, but its not all top quality (IMO). But it does keep you busy if you try to make the best of it no doubt. As always, well done upload my good man. Anthony
I love that the link shows the console playing the SNES version of Mario Bros. :P (I'm sure somewhere in the chinese text it says "graphics not as advertised!" :P)
I ordered one for my girlfriend 3-4 weeks ago from aliexpress for around 15 €. I already have another model of this device which was pretty good for the money. It's a mystery to me how a device like this can be so cheap.
Was that 15 euros with shipping included? When I bought it back in November the shipping was additional but now the say the console is 12 US dollars (or there abouts as I'm working in yen) with "free" shipping. Mine took about 4 weeks to arrive so you should get yours soon.
It arrived! So it came with a battery pack like they built in mobile phones back then (the USB port is for charging the battery). The music in the menu is a bit scratchy and not as nice as in other cheap china handhelds like the Coolbaby RS-18. And for me it's not as nice to hold because the buttons and the d-pad are placed near the borders. But I think my girlfriend will like it (she has small hands ;) I would be happy to see more reviews of chinese clone systems from you in the future! Have a great week!
Sorry to leave so many comments but I recognise that white bear, it was in a cartoon on CBBC in what must've been around 2009. I can't remember for the life of me what it was called though. There was no speech that I can recall.
Funny you should mention that. I was briefly reading about it the other day. Wouldn't mind that myself but I doubt they'll ever release an Xbox One version. Could buy it for PC though if it got a release.
Interesing, I have a Coolbaby Branded Famiclone called the Coolbaby RS-35 which looks like a normal Famicom and it also has a working cartridge slot too, works with my super mario bros. 3 famicom cartridge.
CrAzYgIrL Actually mine came with a 132 in 1 multicart and I also have a 8 in 1 bootleg cartridge for it and they both work fine as well as the genuine Super Mario Bros 3 cartridge. Its a famiclone from 2015 so its relatively recent. I havn't had any sort of problems with game compatability on it.
How is the emulation quality on it? It seems these CoolBaby products are actually very good in the emulation area. This is the second handheld I've had by this company with both having great screens and very good emulation.
Retro Core I don't know. I read the NES classic is actually extremly overpowered for what it is suppose to be doing. actually beefier than the Wii even. that would also explain why people manage to get N64(!) games running on that thing (via retroarch)
More powerful than a Wii? That's crazy. Why on earth put all that power in to something that's only going to run NES games. Still, cool people hacked it to run N64 stuff.
Woo! I love me some cheap Chinese crap! That dual battery setup is very cool. I guess only a cheap "inefficient" (space-wise) device would have enough room for that sort of feature. If they were still 5 bucks I'd probably snag one in green, just for kicks. Alas, I think my trusty PSP doesn't get enough emulation action as it is these days. :)
well, I've mentioned in your channel before that I lived in China for years, there's some interesting about the company "Xiaobawang" (小霸王) which is the producer of this product. mmm, basically Xiaobawang's products were the most popular things back in 80's and even 90's of China, nearly everyone had one Famiclone at least or, the educational machine like it was advertised. it was so popular that Nintendo had no idea and no control about them, so their Famiclones were dominated in China for more than 15 years believe it or not. as for Sega fanboys like me, sorry you have to buy consoles from Taiwan or Hong Kong, "lucky enough", from Japan like I did. I'm surprised that they're still alive cuz I didn't see their products for years... one of the "best" product is the home console with a keyboard and a light gun, can't remember the real name, also come with a 5000-in-1 multicart which maybe include 100 games. I've ever played it when I was 8 or 9 in my cousin's home, I liked to practice typing using its built-in software xD. and my uncle love Iron Tank, my cousin love Super Spy Hunter then. then, another interesting thing is, all the Famiclone plug'n'plays or handhelds or even MAME built-in arcade machine like to use music tracks from games like "Mighty Final Fight" (surely it is in this machine), "Dragon Fighter", and other not-so-popular games... the built-in "homebrew" in this handheld is not a simulation game but a crappy RPG stylish strategy game btw. and the last game you showed to us called "Aether Kavass" is "Macross" on Famicom exclusively in fact.
Some great information, thanks for sharing. So Xiaobawang have been around for quite some time. That explains why their products are reasonable compared to other companies. I wonder if they make any Sega products? I really do like the screen quality they use in their Famicom hand held.
well as far as I know there's NO SUCH A THING... Sega is nearly nothing in mainland of China, what you got back in the days or 90's is whether a Famiclone like that or, guess what...PS1. only some southern main cities like Shanghai, Nanking, or Guangzhou had ported some Taiwanese Mega Drive clones, and it was a failure... cuz people think there are no multicarts for the Mega Drive and now we know it's nonsense! so basically I could make a short list about what home consoles are popular through the mainland of China from 80's to 00's. 1980-1985 is the dark era that nothing but board games lol, no Atari, no ColecoVision, no Intellivision, and of course, no home computers like PC-98, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64... poor time 1986-2006 (or even today!) Famiclones, many many MANY Famiclones fled into the market and Nintendo was still in charge of South Korea for their version of NES, we all know Samsung took the duty. 1992(or so)-2000 3DO time. it's amazing to see a huge fanbase of 3DO in mainland. I have no idea why but gamers seem to be blown their minds about the new technology. 1997-2004 PS1 time. yep, PS1 got cracked quickly and tons of pirate games was into the market. I got a stack of games for about 50 titles (mostly shmups) whick only cost me about 100 yuan (160 yuan around nowadays)! and it's 22 euro now! what a deal! 1998-2000 Sega Saturn maybe the only time people love to get a Sega console... I don't know why, they just got a bunch of racing games and shooters to the pirate store...of course, they're very cheap. in conclusion, no Mark III, no Dreamcast, no Super Famicom, no 32X, no Mega CD, no PCE, no Atari Jaguar, no N64 (but iQue Player)...what a pissed-off time... you have to get them from Taiwan or Hong Kong, again...
I even didn't see some people who got an XBOX or PS2...hilarious... for the handheld, only Gameboy, GBC and GBA...no Game Gear, you even can't get it from Taiwan... of course, no Nomad and PCE GT too...then straightly to the PSP...... [how I hoped getting an Atari 7800, ah.....*sigh* a simple dream of a little "gamer"] btw, when I got a Neo Geo Pocket Color about 15 years ago, my friends said "oh a Nintendo handheld clone made by SNK", idiots.
Man, being a gamer in China really blows. But hey, at least you guys got the Saturn :) I used to buy many Saturn silvers from China back in the day when I was a poor student :p Now I have the real games but it was fun to buy those silvers.
It's an unbelievable price. The shipping cost more than the actual console judging by what they charge now. When I bought it back in November the shipping was additional but now the say the console is 12 US dollars (or there abouts as I'm working in yen) with "free" shipping. These are bargain basement items since they come with no box, no accessories or even any form of paperwork.
In Joust, you just need to fly into your enemies and hit their top half. If you hit them below the center line, they'll kill ya. Pretty fun, simple game that is good to kill a few minutes while waiting for the bus/train/whatever. Too bad the buttons on this are so cheap looking and probably feel just as bad, the emulation is not bad at all for a bargain bin famiclone handheld
I noticed in one of your other comments that you were guessing the console would just die within a year. It'll be 2 years this February. Do you still have this thing and does it still work?
that ant game is one of the wierdest things ive ever seen. makes me think who actually programs those crazy software. it seems that they put a good amount of work into it. looks like a rpgish ant kingdom simulator. interesting idea tbh
Joust is a mediocre Ballon Fight. You ride a Chocobo on there XD. Very cheap and good emulated games indeed (except the last one XD). You can also put it on the TV c´mon! for 5 bucks!? Is a very good bought. 8bit rules!!!
That's because you bought it from Amazon. You need to buy it from a Chinese distributor as the link in the video description shows. All of these systems cost more via Amazon because the sellers know people in Western countries will pay more than those in mainland China and surrounding countries.
i dont know i should happy with many nes/snes etc clone or not its actually good but cause its cheap(too cheap lol) once broke well why bother fix it you can buy it again
Retro Core yeah im surprise they sell this for 5-12 $ its like make me realize once again chinese technology really scary, they can make better product with quater price but sometime the wiring so mess up so its probably only can hold on maybe half year(or worse), but who care after all its still good and fun to give it for children and not cost your life to buy it unlike nowday console
I think if you want some disposable items then the cheap Chinese products are pretty good but I'm glad not all of our electronics are build to such low standards.
i cant STAND reversed buttons. Who made this? the same idiots that aborted megaman anniversary collection? also that's definitely not a video out, but a mini-usb power port.
The strange thing about this clone is that the top buttons seem to be reversed compared to the bottom buttons. At least there's one set that are the right way round :p
What a heep of junk but hey if it can emulate games half decent why the fuck not for 5 bucks lol. You should do teardowns of these systems !!!!! Who else agrees

Compared to handhelds I had when I was a kid it's practically a miracle, especially at that price.
When I was a kid we had cheap LCD games by Sunstar :p And that is if you were lucky.
Yeah I remember those LCD handhelds with just one game built in. My mind would have exploded if someone frome the future gave me this little device back then ;)
Holy crap. That screen is crispy! Might have to check one of these out. Great vid as always buddy.
Cheers man. Yeah, the screen on this is really nice as it was on the previously reviewed CoolBaby handheld I covered. This company does use some nice screens for sure.
Finally, a handheld famiclone with a select button!
If game systems were ever to be implemented into Mcdonald's happy meals I'd imagine these being their choice of implementation.
Exactly
Fot $5, that's really quite impressive. Thanks for sharing :)
13:00 - It's a Macross game, based from the animé series of the 80.
The game around 8:45 seems to be a romhack of an Atlus game based on *Wacky Races*, where you play as Dick Dastardly's dog. It's a pretty decent platformer!
It seems quite obscure, as I haven't found many people on the internet that knew about it.
The screen on this cheap thing looks better than I expected!
Yeah, I guess you are meant to be playing as Mutly.
I think it's good for the price, great screen although the interface is a little misguiding about the games. Great video man!
The screen really is a great selling point.
The Backkom game is a hack of ''Wacky Races'', the hack is based of a cartoon with the same name (Also called Bernard Bear).
Cool. I didn't know that. Thanks for the information.
13:21 is actually an issue with the ROM, it's set to vertical mirroring instead of the correct horizontal mirroring.
HAHA - Right as you ask the question, "So is this machine worth getting," you bring up the games list again and right there!! BAM - GUN NAC! Friggin' love it!

Bakkom who is an animated bear also known as Benard is a hack of Wacky Races from Nintendo.
1:08 are you sure about the video out port? looks like a mini usb port to me ... maybe to charge when you put in a lithium cell or power it up without battery?
I thought that too but according to what I read it also doubles as a TV out. I could be wrong though. Translation wasn't the best from Chinese.
Very cool little unit. Interesting to see that they had not remote the Atari copyright from Joust.
Yeah, sometimes they forget to do that.
I have a friend who has this Mark,
For $5 dollars its not a financial lose for sure. It does have its charm on giving you good gameplay, but its not all top quality (IMO). But it does keep you busy if you try to make the best of it no doubt.
As always, well done upload my good man.
Anthony
I think items like this make great stocking fillers for kids during Christmas or even as little prizes at some party event.
You got it bro. Always a pleasure to see what you offer.
Anthony...
I love that the link shows the console playing the SNES version of Mario Bros. :P (I'm sure somewhere in the chinese text it says "graphics not as advertised!" :P)
More like "actual graphics, super 3D power". The Chinese don't know the meaning of the work "deserving" when it comes to selling stuff.
It's pretty amazing that they can sell it for $5 and still make a profit. It looks pretty decent, with a good screen.
They probably make it for about 3 dollars due to the volume they produce.
Retro Core my guess is surplus phone components. thats how they got the $20 dash cams.
I ordered one for my girlfriend 3-4 weeks ago from aliexpress for around 15 €. I already have another model of this device which was pretty good for the money. It's a mystery to me how a device like this can be so cheap.
Ranson Curbersmith Child labour and no health and safety I imagine
Was that 15 euros with shipping included? When I bought it back in November the shipping was additional but now the say the console is 12 US dollars (or there abouts as I'm working in yen) with "free" shipping. Mine took about 4 weeks to arrive so you should get yours soon.
Yes, the shipping from china to germany was included :)
It arrived! So it came with a battery pack like they built in mobile phones back then (the USB port is for charging the battery). The music in the menu is a bit scratchy and not as nice as in other cheap china handhelds like the Coolbaby RS-18. And for me it's not as nice to hold because the buttons and the d-pad are placed near the borders. But I think my girlfriend will like it (she has small hands ;) I would be happy to see more reviews of chinese clone systems from you in the future! Have a great week!
What kind of electronics are inside?
Don't know but I have a very similar system being reviewed next week. I will be opening that one up.
Just ordered it now. 12.99 free ship.
You're kidding right?!
Sorry to leave so many comments but I recognise that white bear, it was in a cartoon on CBBC in what must've been around 2009. I can't remember for the life of me what it was called though. There was no speech that I can recall.
Ah, well at least that narrows in down to something European. I don't know but it could be a Russian hack judging by the name of the game.
Is it possible to get the link in English with a price in pounds?
You should be able to change the price and language from the options at the top of the page.
watching you play, it looks like the A and B buttons are reversed, but the turbo buttons are not reversed. Am I seeing that correctly?
You are correct. That's kind of common for these Chinese clones. Why? I couldn't say but I can say I've come across quite a few that do this.
where do you buy it?
This video is over 4 years old. I don't remember.
how about a game list?
Too much effort. The games are repeated and not in order. There's about 100 games on this thing despite it claiming to have 286.
Could a Raspberry Pi Zero fit in this? Maybe hook up to it?
Hmm, the Zero should fit in with a little case cutting I would imagine.
It kinda looks like a PSP but not as bad as some of the blatent design rip offs I've seen which makes it a lil' original. Nice review buddy! 😀
Thanks.
I have that same one it's great fun and the games are good for the price 👍
It is good value for money.
Can you copy other games on card?
Not for this one as there's no way to use an SD card on it.
if i came across il get one
12:42 Hey, Macross Frontier hack....
I don't think I noticed that.
Did u see new taito darius 30th anni collection?yakumo
Funny you should mention that. I was briefly reading about it the other day. Wouldn't mind that myself but I doubt they'll ever release an Xbox One version. Could buy it for PC though if it got a release.
If I had one and it had TV out, then I could turn the console into a controller and put the PCB inside of another case.
That's a pretty cool idea.,
Interesing, I have a Coolbaby Branded Famiclone called the Coolbaby RS-35 which looks like a normal Famicom and it also has a working cartridge slot too, works with my super mario bros. 3 famicom cartridge.
Kai Yeah, from what I've heard they're alright but the emulation is spotty in places. I don't think any pirate bootlegs or multicarts work
CrAzYgIrL Actually mine came with a 132 in 1 multicart and I also have a 8 in 1 bootleg cartridge for it and they both work fine as well as the genuine Super Mario Bros 3 cartridge. Its a famiclone from 2015 so its relatively recent. I havn't had any sort of problems with game compatability on it.
How is the emulation quality on it? It seems these CoolBaby products are actually very good in the emulation area. This is the second handheld I've had by this company with both having great screens and very good emulation.
+Retro Core Works fine for me, not had any problems on all the games I tried on it.
I mean, you can't really top that for $5, and beats the Nes Classic for the amount of games on it.
I bet the NES classics is produced for around the same cost or it would be if they didn't include any cables or controllers.
Retro Core I don't know. I read the NES classic is actually extremly overpowered for what it is suppose to be doing. actually beefier than the Wii even. that would also explain why people manage to get N64(!) games running on that thing (via retroarch)
More powerful than a Wii? That's crazy. Why on earth put all that power in to something that's only going to run NES games. Still, cool people hacked it to run N64 stuff.
well, my guess is that they bought/produced a shitton of those boards so they can use them for future snes/n64 classic consoles too.
I think the SNES classic is basically using the same innards.
U$12 is still good. Could the screen fit the original gba? It would be a nice mod. Measure It up lol
The screen is a bit smaller than a GBA unfortunately.
Woo! I love me some cheap Chinese crap! That dual battery setup is very cool. I guess only a cheap "inefficient" (space-wise) device would have enough room for that sort of feature.
If they were still 5 bucks I'd probably snag one in green, just for kicks. Alas, I think my trusty PSP doesn't get enough emulation action as it is these days. :)
Cheap Chinese crap is always good for curiosity :)
Cool console😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

I've ever played it when I was 8 or 9 in my cousin's home, I liked to practice typing using its built-in software xD. and my uncle love Iron Tank, my cousin love Super Spy Hunter then.
then, another interesting thing is, all the Famiclone plug'n'plays or handhelds or even MAME built-in arcade machine like to use music tracks from games like "Mighty Final Fight" (surely it is in this machine), "Dragon Fighter", and other not-so-popular games...
the built-in "homebrew" in this handheld is not a simulation game but a crappy RPG stylish strategy game btw. and the last game you showed to us called "Aether Kavass" is "Macross" on Famicom exclusively in fact.
Some great information, thanks for sharing. So Xiaobawang have been around for quite some time. That explains why their products are reasonable compared to other companies.
I wonder if they make any Sega products? I really do like the screen quality they use in their Famicom hand held.
well as far as I know there's NO SUCH A THING... Sega is nearly nothing in mainland of China, what you got back in the days or 90's is whether a Famiclone like that or, guess what...PS1. only some southern main cities like Shanghai, Nanking, or Guangzhou had ported some Taiwanese Mega Drive clones, and it was a failure... cuz people think there are no multicarts for the Mega Drive and now we know it's nonsense!
so basically I could make a short list about what home consoles are popular through the mainland of China from 80's to 00's.
1980-1985 is the dark era that nothing but board games lol, no Atari, no ColecoVision, no Intellivision, and of course, no home computers like PC-98, ZX Spectrum, Commodore 64... poor time
1986-2006 (or even today!) Famiclones, many many MANY Famiclones fled into the market and Nintendo was still in charge of South Korea for their version of NES, we all know Samsung took the duty.
1992(or so)-2000 3DO time. it's amazing to see a huge fanbase of 3DO in mainland. I have no idea why but gamers seem to be blown their minds about the new technology.
1997-2004 PS1 time. yep, PS1 got cracked quickly and tons of pirate games was into the market. I got a stack of games for about 50 titles (mostly shmups) whick only cost me about 100 yuan (160 yuan around nowadays)! and it's 22 euro now! what a deal!
1998-2000 Sega Saturn maybe the only time people love to get a Sega console... I don't know why, they just got a bunch of racing games and shooters to the pirate store...of course, they're very cheap.
in conclusion, no Mark III, no Dreamcast, no Super Famicom, no 32X, no Mega CD, no PCE, no Atari Jaguar, no N64 (but iQue Player)...what a pissed-off time... you have to get them from Taiwan or Hong Kong, again...
I even didn't see some people who got an XBOX or PS2...hilarious...
for the handheld, only Gameboy, GBC and GBA...no Game Gear, you even can't get it from Taiwan... of course, no Nomad and PCE GT too...then straightly to the PSP......
[how I hoped getting an Atari 7800, ah.....*sigh* a simple dream of a little "gamer"]
btw, when I got a Neo Geo Pocket Color about 15 years ago, my friends said "oh a Nintendo handheld clone made by SNK", idiots.
Man, being a gamer in China really blows. But hey, at least you guys got the Saturn :) I used to buy many Saturn silvers from China back in the day when I was a poor student :p Now I have the real games but it was fun to buy those silvers.
hahaha, idiots indeed.
I don't understand why they decided to give it 4 buttons if the thing only plays NES/Famicom games.
They probably use the same plastic moulds for other systems.
All of these clones do that. Two normal buttons and two turbo buttons.
imagine if these had AV out and you could plug them into your TV ^^
According to the seller, it does. That mini USB looking jack on the top is apparently a TV out.
5$ is a very good price
It's an unbelievable price. The shipping cost more than the actual console judging by what they charge now. When I bought it back in November the shipping was additional but now the say the console is 12 US dollars (or there abouts as I'm working in yen) with "free" shipping.
These are bargain basement items since they come with no box, no accessories or even any form of paperwork.

Pretty fun, simple game that is good to kill a few minutes while waiting for the bus/train/whatever. Too bad the buttons on this are so cheap looking and probably feel just as bad, the emulation is not bad at all for a bargain bin famiclone handheld
The emulation quality is deffinety this devices strong point.
I noticed in one of your other comments that you were guessing the console would just die within a year. It'll be 2 years this February. Do you still have this thing and does it still work?
This guy is hilarious.
that ant game is one of the wierdest things ive ever seen. makes me think who actually programs those crazy software. it seems that they put a good amount of work into it. looks like a rpgish ant kingdom simulator. interesting idea tbh
zubiac Look up sim ant. Not sure it's the same game but it was made by Maxim who did all the Sims games
Yeah, you're right. Quite a bit of work seems to have been put in to that and simulator game. Just a shame I have no idea what's going on.
I wonder what the Chinese people think of them?
Technically they are handheld emulators, would they know any different?
aaaa yes is rom hack of wacky racers
Oh, so it was originally a Whack Racers game? So the white bear thing was probably Muttly?
yes that bear is muttly
Joust is a mediocre Ballon Fight. You ride a Chocobo on there XD.
Very cheap and good emulated games indeed (except the last one XD). You can also put it on the TV c´mon! for 5 bucks!? Is a very good bought.
8bit rules!!!
Yep, it has TV out but sadly they don't give you the cable :(
Joust has you riding a Chocobo, hahaha, nice :D
Pretty sure Joust was before Balloon Fight. So Balloon fight is a better Joust.
5 Dallaa? heheh nice southparklike accent mate :)
it not cost 5 dollars for me it cost 18 dollars on amazon
That's because you bought it from Amazon. You need to buy it from a Chinese distributor as the link in the video description shows. All of these systems cost more via Amazon because the sellers know people in Western countries will pay more than those in mainland China and surrounding countries.
worth it just to tear out that screen and use it in a project
I agree. It's a nice little screen.
its 13$ not 5
It was 5 dollars when I bought it. Prices do change over time.
Hi sir.Not bad device.I have Power Boy,its pocket Famicom with fami cartridges slot and AV cable for TV.
Not bad for 5$! Still wouldn't bother buying one though lol
i dont know i should happy with many nes/snes etc clone or not its actually good but cause its cheap(too cheap lol) once broke well why bother fix it you can buy it again
That's probably why the make them so cheap. I would keep the screen though. They are pretty good.
Retro Core yeah im surprise they sell this for 5-12 $ its like make me realize once again chinese technology really scary, they can make better product with quater price but sometime the wiring so mess up so its probably only can hold on maybe half year(or worse), but who care after all its still good and fun to give it for children and not cost your life to buy it unlike nowday console
I think if you want some disposable items then the cheap Chinese products are pretty good but I'm glad not all of our electronics are build to such low standards.
As good as this crappy thing is, I'd rather spend $5 or a bit more on a SNES Knockoff. Well, that's just my opinion.
Sadly the SNES knock offs are always poor when it comes to emulation :(
Os mulambos não tem estádio kkkkkk
Waste of money.
i cant STAND reversed buttons. Who made this? the same idiots that aborted megaman anniversary collection?
also that's definitely not a video out, but a mini-usb power port.
The strange thing about this clone is that the top buttons seem to be reversed compared to the bottom buttons. At least there's one set that are the right way round :p
What a heep of junk but hey if it can emulate games half decent why the fuck not for 5 bucks lol. You should do teardowns of these systems !!!!! Who else agrees
Teardowns of such systems only ever reveils one thing, a black epoxy blob on a sparse PCB. Sadly nothing exciting to see.
