- A review of the A4305 Game Player, handheld games console from China.
You'll find them all over ebay, but are they worth bothering with? Watch and learn.

Folks, this video is 7 years old, so any info on pricing or availability is entirely out of date. Also, I just reviewed the thing... I cannot offer tech support or warranty services. I am not affiliated to the manufacturer, seller, or any other related company. If you buy this thing, you buy it at your own risk, and I take no responsibility.
I bought this off ebay and it turned my girlfriend into a tranny...
Who do I sue?
the best review i have ever had the pleasure of listening to. your style of good old fashioned straight talking had me giggling for ages
"This D-Pad is a piece of shit."
Brutal honesty, i love it. :D
Just telling it like it is :)
Those a-b-x-y buttons look funky too, i would always try and use it as a d-pad.
for those that are interested, its the OS that really cripples this, in our local market we have one of those independent phone shops that do unlocking, and sell parts etc, they offer a rooting service for chinese tablets, game players and such.
this particular unit can be rooted by them at a cost of 15.99, he puts a standard android OS on them (varying versions you choose), and even a couple of linux distros if thats your thing( though thats more for tablets).
he wont tell me how is done though, he did say you have to have a special lead that connects inside, its not straight forward and its easy to brick them.
so if is possible the info will be on the net somewhere.
RM/RMVB stands for RealMedia (Variable Bitrate), a proprietary video format developed by RealNetworks. It was an early streaming format that competed with Apple's Quicktime and Microsoft's ASF/WMV formats. Like those other formats in the early days of the web, you needed Real's proprietary player, RealPlayer, to play the videos. RealPlayer was infamous for having tons of adware that you had to spend quite a bit of time disabling. The companion audio format was RA - RealAudio which could be played by either RealPlayer or RealJukebox, which was also a CD ripping and music library program.
Eventually someone ripped the RM codecs and made RealAlternative to allow other media players to play the files without needing to have RealPlayer installed. These days, most multi-format players such as Media Player Classic - Home Cinema, VLC and MPlayer can play RM/RMVB files without external codecs.
RM format video was initially popular with some porn sites because it could produce fairly small files, which was important in the era of dialup internet access. Because of this, RM videos gained a reputation of looking like crap. This was rather unfair though as RM videos could look quite good if a high enough bitrate was used, but then you ended up with larger files. Most sites eventually switched over to WMV (Windows Media Video), there was a brief period where FLV was popular and then MP4 came along and pretty much wiped out every other online format for video.
+lurkerrekrul I remember these things happening, though didn't know the background. That was a very interesting read. Thanks :)
+Steve Benway (Retro Gaming Collector) If you want to go back even further, there was apparently a format called VivoActive (.VIV) that was used for streaming on some sites. The company was eventually bought by Real and the format disappeared. Again, you needed a proprietary player and not only did most videos look like complete crap, you couldn't seek in them due to a lack of key frames. This was a little before my time (on the net) and my only experience with it was people later posting video clips archived from sites.
+Steve Benway (Retro Gaming Collector) This is basically a PSP 2000 knockoff design. Which means if you have tiny hands and fingers, you are lucky. ;)
+Steve Benway (Retro Gaming Collector) Hi dude, im going on holiday in a month on a really long plane journey and want something to pass the time, are there any of these kind of devices that you would actually recommend?.
Not really cheap ones, to be honest. There are some good Android devices like the JXD S7800b, or if you want something cheaper, a 2nd hand PSP Go with custom firmware. I carry one of those around quite often.
Me still playing on this shit, after 8 years it still working.
Haha... I learned a while back that if it says MP5 on it, it's not worth using. Basically the Chinese marketers figured that if their device could support both MP3 and MP4 files, that justified calling it an MP5 player (I've actually seen up to MP7 being used). Back in the early 2000's, MP5 sorta became a shortcut for saying "cheap, crappy Chinese knockoff of a decent portable media player".
Even better when it doesn't even support MP4. ;D
If this had been around in the 1990's it would have been amazing, it's interesting how technology has advanced so far, I'd never have thought it possible to store an entire NES library on a single handheld back when I was younger, now it doesn't even excite me and I consider most of these machines to be crap, which is sad in a way, I guess we have all become somewhat spoiled by the progress and improvements that have come with the times.
Have you attempted to add a Spectrum, Amiga, 2600 or Lynx emulator to this, if any of those were to work well, it would be a nice piece of kit.
Wow, this looks like cheap and chearful, sometimes even woeful, tat hardware season on the Benway channel. It's really interesting to see these cheap chinese hardwares in action Steve. I'm loving the series so far.
Is your favorate tat hardware still the Lexibook or has your favorate tat hardware changed at all since you brought the job lot of new tat hardwares?
The Lexibook is probably the best in terms of ability combined with portability, if not actually the most powerful or flexible.
Giving Ashens a run for his money! (meant in a lighthearted manner)
Hehe. Except I have far more viewers.
Oh.... wait....
Ok proceeding wait...
Nice review you know how to go into detail compared to others about this device. Would you happen to have the X6 version for review? Thanks liked and subbed!
I don't have an X6. First I've heard of that one. *Goes to google it :)
Yes it looks the same as this one except it has X6 at bottom of screen bezel, Im wondering which is newest model... If X6 is newest model perhaps performance is slightly improved... hopefully.
Here is link to ebay store that has it : www.ebay.com/itm/142169844722?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=441236381719&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
I think official name is Coolboy X6 Not entirely sure but its all that comes up in Google. :/
It's possible it may be an upgraded model, but I wouldn't count on it. They have a tendency to rename, rebrand, relabel etc the same old product.
Bummer. You seem to be the best expert on this device. I Think im going to give it a shot, just $30 if it dont work out I'll just be on lookout for a real modded PSP.
Hi, Steve Benway I was wondering if by any chance you ever updated the firmware on any of these players you have? I did order the Coolboy X6 intelligence model with firmware p2_100423_int_us225a. Do any of your players have that firmware? And you were spot on in your video review they are crap when it comes to the D-pad and running anything other than NES, GB and GBA. Games that require precision is just garbage on this thing missing sound channels etc. But games such as Pokemon or similar is good and run great. Not saying a firmware update will fix D-pad problem, just wanted to have latest firmware to iron out any bugs this device may have before I give to my young son on Christmas. Since he's a Pokemon, Final Fantasy fanatic I'll just load those type of games on it lol. Can you point me in the right direction if possible because I cant find anything on this other than a software called FRM Pro 1.1.9a that's used to update it. Not asking you to go out of your way to help.
Thanks in advance. :)
Great vid ordered one for my son with autism he will be turning 8 on the first and I hope he loves it he just likes games hope mine is a better version 😂 ordered it and then looked for a video my backwards life 😂
Steve great vids as always, just wondering does it let you play the games using the Analogue stick rather then that hideous D-pad?
Yes it does, but the travel on the stick is so long, it's no less useless than the d-pad.
"You'd have to be INsane to the MAX to buy one!" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
i bought one
As I have recently discovered your channel (and you may have already done a video on this subject) - do you have a sizeable collection of gaming / hardware books and magazines? What books related to video games do you suggest we should check out?
I have a big pile of old Amiga magazines that I was given, and several years worth of Retro Gamer magazine, before I gave up buying that. The only books I have are the instruction manuals that came with the systems. They make for pretty dry reading, and aren't something I'd recommend if you're reading for pleasure.
My dad bought it for my little brother, literally this exact same one with the white and everything (he can't differentiate this from an actual psp). Played some gba games on it for two weeks and then the shoulder pads broke and wouldn't work or move anymore. Soon the d-pads started breaking too. I think I could fix it but after realizing how frustrating the controls are, I decided it's not worth it.
Definitely not worth it. This thing's a piece of junk.
i have one and it works pretty good, using it for few years now
Always interesting these Chinese handhelds, I had the very first one about 2001, called the Game Axe and it played full daze NES carts lol, this one reminds me of the GP32 a little which I also owned.
I have a feeling the GP32 would be better quality than this. Also, that's an open system, where this is closed.
Thanks for sharing this Steve. Always find these devices very interesting. Personally my favourites remain the Pandora, the GameMID and a jailbroken PSP 1st gen.
Pandora's look lovely. Far too pricey for my pocket though. I'll stick with the PSP Go :)
The instruction say "do not charge and play console" then it takes three to five hours to charge. Wow. That's useless.
Great review - I was tempted by one of these or a PXP but having seen your reviews I'm not going to bother :).
A wise choice :)
Something about this made my stomach hurt...
You're not supposed to eat it :P
Steve Benway
_Hello, out of all these Chinese knock-off handheld consoles currently on Ebay, with examples like the PVP Station Light 3000, PXP3 Slim Station, PTP, P2P, PZP, RS-1 (Game Prince), A4305 Game Player ETC ETC, what would you say is the best overall, as you seemed to have tested loads of these?_
This looks like my son's first psp that i bought eons ago....RMVB real media video broadcast. I do like the Hi Definition booklet it reminds me of the days when i got Eddie Murphy's Another 48HR's on pirate VIDEO tape and it had that fuzz and you had to adjust the tracking........ Damn i miss that video shop on the Walworth rd. That shop had games videos from all over the world.......
Why do I have a feeling that the first 2:30 you have a lot of fun ranting off. It sounded like you had something in your heart stuck for a very long time and when you saw that a4305 you just let go. You know, the unfortunate guy that does something bad and ends up being your punching bad. Well I liked that lol. I think it came straight from the heart. :)
See my 'Tech from China' playlist for more reviews of Chinese handhelds... many a lot better than this one :D
ua-cam.com/play/PLeT6Wy8Sa65vIoSKqMBLFWBWielgKJMF3.html
Fair review Steve. There are so many reviews of Chinese handsets that don't give them a fair overview. It's refreshing to find one that does. I actually love these things and let's face it for the price it's a fine piece of kit? There are much better ones out there. Look for different named brands rather than these 'generic' ones. JXD machines are pretty good as are the likes of Yinlips. They are more expensive but much better quality.
According to the internet, an MP5 is a type of machine pistol made by Hockler and Kess (or something to that effect). Which is good, because the only thing this PSP knockoff is good for is target practice.
Yes, the Heckler and Koch MP5 is what our anti terrorist units use (or used to). Compact, with lowish power, for use in enclosed spaces.
"MP5" cant be used for a video format cause its already used for the machine gun lol
my favorite part about the review is the way you say bullshit, but the review was still great
These are like the Tiger games today. Basically a smart phone that can play SNES games and cannot call or text or internet. But believe it or not I had one of these. Not the same model though. Times were simpler back then, I actually enjoyed mine.
Nice review M8🙂You just saved me from buying this junk🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Glad to be of service :)
i was just looking for a media player to hook up to my tv. i think this is awesome. such a drama queen
Please make a video on how to update frimware of A4305 game player
I have no idea how to do that, if it's even possible.
Video starts at 12:08. Thank me later.
did you have to connect to google drive
Thank you so much
Bibasik7 lol thank u
what is price is this game
LOVE THE REVIEW.
Soooooooo is it any good? (click these one after the other fast for best effect) 11:17 4:40 4:16 11:05 4:20 11:09 16:25 30:56 ...Great! Soooooo Is it a Lithium battery? 4:46 Great! Sooooooo does it have Tv Support? 5:37 Great! Sooooo Does it fit the pouch? 5:10 Great! Soooo Errrrr what do you personally think of this review? 10:50 16:25 Thanks for the info sir, don't quit ya day job!!!
Tech Nirvana You deserve a medal!
For the memories of good times of Sony , Nintendo & 8 bit ... I will ignore this if I see ...
Did you try using the analog stick for diagonals in Street Fighter 2?
Is there a crash game?
Might be related to the Dingoo series of handhelds, perhaps try their forums.
The screen does look pretty good, but yeah the emulation of anything other than GBA does not look that flash when scaled.
A friend of mine game me a Yinlips YDPG18, that has a more normal Android based interface that you can control which emulators are on it and plays a lot more.
It looks very similar to this one, although I would say the buttons are better than this unit.
I enjoy how you say the word badly.
So long as I don't say it badly ;)
.VOB video is actually the format that is used on DVD movie discs. .DAT is used on VCD's, I think.
VCDs use mpeg1. DAT is a digital audio format.
***** I'm glad I said "I think", then. :D
***** Actually, I just looked at the contents of my CD-i VCD of Top Gun, and the actual file for the MPEG1 video is actually under .DAT (you can rename it to .mpg, and it still works, though). It doesn't matter, though because this thing would probably not run it too well. :D
.VOB is the main extension version for MPEG-2. .mpeg is also used for this format but .vob is the MPEG-2 on a disk so it's used more.
Did it come in English? I ordered one and most of the comments said it comes in Chinese.
I have one of those right now and it is working fine for me but says that it's an mp6
I buy this game few days ago and now something went wrong when I start playing any games on this it's displays get dim light and light up and the game stopped working I have to shut down and restart it again what should I do now please help me I can't afford to lose it
Do you know how to change the button mapping, I see when you open a game (not running the game) in the 'options' tab you can change the keymaps but I can't figure out how to change them!
They lied about the screen too. The resolution is only 480x272 (coincidentally the exact same as the PSP!) so it's nowhere near 720p HD (1280x720) and is not even 480p (720x480). But granted the PSP proves that resolution may sound really low but on a 4.3" screen is basically fine. Not even the Vita is HD as it's 960x544 (544p) so I thought for sure they're lying when they say it's a High Definition screen. Still looks decent for the device it's the best thing about it I'm sure.
I know I'm 2 years late, but still.
What's MP5? A german submachine gun by Heckler & Koch. And I bet it works much better and more reliably than this pile of something :D
The egg was hard boiled, which is the best way to crack the shell?
I seem to be collecting these knockoff handhelds. Somehow that happened. The thing is that none of them keep save states and this one seems to do that. Is that actually the case?
Peach Jackson yes it does its good lol
Where did you bought? Which emulators can you play? And where do you download roms and emulators?
+WuuKong87 I bought it from ebay. I don't know what emulators it runs... they're built in and don't seem accessible to the end user. Roms can be downloaded from many places. Just google something like "nes roms" or similar.
Haha great review! I think it is more Dingoo A320 than anything related to Android though as it had very similar style UI and emulation issues! I worry also about the charging circuitry and the Li-Ion battery have the makers put a high quality cell in there and charge IC and could it go very wrong and start a fire!? I don't want it after seeing the Megadrive emulation lol
I don't know about the battery itself, but the charger got very hot on the one occasion I used it. After that, I took to using my hudl charger, which didn't even get warm.
***** Lol they supplied a mains charger I must have missed that bit :D It must be like my £30 Android tablet only that uses it's own plug so only the dodgy charger can be used and boy does it get hot! It came with a sparktastic US style plug and a most dodgy UK converter that had no safety shutters, fuse and the and live and neutral pins were too close to the plug edge to make it compact(and dangerous!) it didn't comply with BS1363 in any way lol! I wouldn't take it on a plane for sure!!!
I kicked myself when I realised I'd forgotten to mention the charger in the video. I'd planned to hook it up to the tv too. Memory's going in my old age :D
***** lol I bet this machine would screw with anyone's memory !!
It may be a cheap knock off that doesn't work properly but if I'd have had something like that as a kid in the 80s it would have blown my mind.
Thanks for info I was going to buy 1
Vob is the video codec for DVDs and dat is likewise for the old video-cd format, so if it CAN play those I suppose those claims on the box are true. You would just have to play them from an SD card, not a disc.
Ah yes, Konami Krazy Racers! A little wave of nostalgia hit me there, it was the first GBA game I bought on the day the GBA was released. The frame rate is definitely wonky here, the original was pretty slick. Shame you fast-forwarded through the theme tune though,That would have taken me right back!
maybe the surround sound comes in from plugging in a decent pair of head phones? maybe... idk I'm no expert and it is a bit of a stretch but it would explain surround sound on something with 1 speaker.
Hey sir plz make video no how to change its battery
I have the same but it have very poor battery life.
Are these roms you put on there, or it came with it? Cause they didnt even bother to clean up the file names if it came with it.
It came with a lot already in it, and then I added a lot myself.
Nice, i just wish they would make an item like this but didnt suck. They can make decent clones of other machines, but fail in this one.
A D-pad being separate buttons often won't cut it. Individual buttons won't work like a real pad. The PSP/Sony way of using a single piece of plastic looking like individual buttons does work. But a lot of these companies just go for the separate button solution resulting in a shitty d-pad.
Yup... it really is shitty :)
who's watching in 2017?
Yeah, a bit late to the party, but the fm radio probably used the headphone wiring as the antenna. No headphones, no antenna, no signal. Even then, poorly made.
after some search about the game krazy racer from Konami, I learned one of the character that is racing is Gray fox. pretty cool. Also the performance of the games are just bad, the framerate is very low. I didn't play those games on gba or others here but is the the performance given in the original systems.
even if it ran those games properly, would it be legal...or is it legal ? I question the legal issues behind this system
The legal use of roms in emulators requires that you own the original cart or disk. These Chinese companies selling systems with game roms pre-installed are definitely in breach of copyright law... but China doesn't care about copyright law.
Try H.264 videp format. It is MP4, but is different.
hi, I have the same psp but it isn't opening at all what can I do?
does it knockoff 44 plus games that work I want one so I dont have to play multiple game consoles
That looks similar to the psp how does it compare in terms of performance.
There is a similar one called PSP mp5 I'm still wondering which is better seems like the psp mp5 is better because it can play more emulators bit neither this onenor that one seems to play PlayStation or PSP games so that sucks! Can u review the psp mp5 please
entertaining review
Thank you :)
the OpenDingux and linux and android is probably the only 3 consoles worth buying, like the anbernic consoles or whatever.
these consoles have so much potential but let down by bad firmware.
Anyone know how to reconfigure controls mid-game? I know how to get to the mapping page, but nothing seems to allow me to change the settings. Thanks!
This might make a better candidate for modding than the Slimstation that I commented on in your video earlier today. It has a bigger screen, better speaker, and an SD card slot. I wonder if the CPU in this is less powerful than the Slimstation, or if having to drive that bigger screen taxes it too much. Maybe a lesser CPU was the trade-off for a camera, radio, etc. Even so, the shell, screen, etc, might make a good Raspberry Pi housing. I've actually just won the bidding on a used JXD S7800b Android gaming tablet on eBay. It has a more powerful dual-core [edit: quad-core] CPU, twin thumbsticks, and the full workings of an Android tablet. I don't know if you've heard of it, there are a few videos of it on YT.
i have the same one i get about 3hrs battery life works fine with 32gb sd card radio works great on mine no problems there and they mic is not as bad as you say it is ive used way worse and camera is ok for video but would never use for photos better off taking video also mine was bought of everbuying and i used a 10% off coupon and points i had on my account and got it for 19.50nzd for that price is well worth the price
"...because it's a polite piece of Chinese rubbish." XD Im dead
Dang and here I was thinking about blowing some money on it. I'm glad I watched this video first.
VOB is the DVD format, the files on the DVD
I have Konami Krazy Racers for the GBA, and I can tell you that at least on this unit, KKR doesn't run at the correct frame rate, it's a bit slow and jerky.
Possible to flash another software in it? Eg:android?
hah i love crazy knock offs
please tell me how can i know that my game player is charged fully
If it was 1999..this thing would be the bee's knees.(almost)
The d-pad would still ruin it though.

the question is not is it Fake, we all know that Zzzz DArrR! but is it a good gaming console?. yes if your in to playing nes emulator games or programming your own .nes games . screen aspect ratio is only a problem if your competing it with the Japanese nes game consoles. but if you have never used or played Japanese consoles. screen aspect is none the wiser.
How do you add more games on it?
google for example 'gba roms' then just download the game you want and then transfer it to the console via usb
Idk mate it doesn't seem terrible....trying to pack wayyy to many things in it I agree should have taken things out and focused more on others....but as just a general multimedia device for the person with limited funds it doesn't seem awful. Just my thoughts though everyone has their own view! Thanks for the overview steve!
It would be tolerable if it weren't for that godawful d-pad. It renders so many games unplayable, that the whole thing becomes an exercise in frustration. A person with limited funds would do much better to get a 2nd hand psp.
Does the analog looking stick not work for the games? Or is the only option the shite pad? I do agree that pad looks miserable. It is ashame that the frame rate on movies sucks cause if it wasn't bad that would be quite the handy portable movie player. Unless the frame rate is better if playing them off SD card versus internal memory?The screen is pretty massive and looks like nice quality. It's pretty amazing how far screen quality has come in the past 5 years. So many cheap devices like this have actually quite amazing screens
The "analogue" nub works, but the travel is long and the movement stiff, so anything requiring a quick response is impossible.
I haven't tried running video from the SD card... should give that a try.
*****
Yea id love to see a clip of how it runs from SD memory versus internal!! Because if it runs like normal that from the SD than its safe to say this thing would get much better!
I had this one in black. that got ripped now. Now i'm using a android tablet. It is better than psp
@18:40 I thought I was watching the film Leon :D
What year did it come out
Imagine if it had a good dpad and better hardware that was capable of actually playing games it may actually be useful and worth getting. Like you said it has a lot of nice features just it does them all shitty. The build quality doesnt look too bad minus the dpad. It looks like they got their hands on psp molds and putt shitty hardware in it.
+Kevster012 That sums it up quite well :)
+Steve Benway (Retro Gaming Collector) Great review btw. Its a shame this device wasnt built better. It could actually be worth buying if they would of fixed a few things.
well summarised. the price is around 30 pounds so for what it is its rather cheap
Hi how to install new games in the player ?????????
did you have to connect to google drive
Do you keep these tat consoles or are they destined for the bin?
I keep them. Never know when they might come in handy for something... though god only knows what.
They may gain historic value in the long term as there a retro rip off consoles that have gained a following. Most will be forgotten though.
It'll be interesting to find out. Maybe I'll make another video about this in 30 years, on whatever the youtube equivalent is then.
I'll pass on this POS! Thanks for the review!
NES uses a Z80 chip so it will likely also run Master System games equally well as it also uses a Z80.
NES uses a 6502
*****
OK, my bad. But.. doesn't the GameBoy use a Z80?
Yes, it does. Thing is, just because a system uses a given CPU, doesn't mean this console will play its games. It needs the emulators to be built in, and this thing only has a few... and not all are documented.
Ben Heck Show built a SNES/GEN combo console that uses 2 CPU's and such but the same cart slot. I forget what the video was called.
can you get your own roms on it? such as pokemon or other gba games?
+Kaiser Knapp Yes.
You can thank Nintendo for that d-pad -- they registered the d.apad as their own -- so everyone else had to make their own
The PSP was sort of round, the PS Vita was really round, the A4305 is nearly square.
if you have to be insane to the max to buy one then i am insane to the max i dont see why people dont like this sure i have a few minor complaints but over all it is pretty good
I have a PMP it's really fun it's called a pmp
Do you think performance would increase with more memory?
+1Blastarr um no, you do know the difference between ram and memory? and you cant upgrade the ram on this
Memory and ram are technically the same
