It gets better, the usb-c is just the plug used for 5V, it doesn't actually support any feature of USB-C and will not charge if you plug it in a normal fast charger or a C-to-C cable! That's why they include an A-to-C cable.

Ok fun story: when I was young I actually had the PSP knockoff 2. We were broke as fuck and my parents couldn’t afford a PSP at the time. This was 2011. I got mine under the brand name “JCV”. That knockoff hasn’t changed a single bit in over a decade, down to the menus and all. Amazing. Got made fun of at school. Didn’t fucking care a bit tho, I loved that thing to death. All I cared about was the fact that mine had Contra, Super Mario Bros., and Pokémon Red. Didn’t drop frames. EDIT: Mine had a camera. 0.1mp VGA camera.
@@Mahcarve somehow my knockoff really had some things going for it. It had a web browser, but no way at all to connect to the Internet. It would render web pages that you saved locally. I had Pokémon info stored, like a Pokédex. Fun times lol.
That's insane, it was the exact same for me also in 2011 but while we were poor my parents bought it thinking it was a cheap psp, I would always plug it in my TV and play scooby doo mystery mayhem for gba.
Blue PSP cartridges are fake! You can see that there are only two traces going from the cartridge slot, meaning the cartridges only act like switches to switch to a different internal cartridge bank.

That Sonic game is a hack of an infamous port of Sonic to the Famicom called "SoMari". The original had Sonic levels and gameplay, but a Mario sprite instead of Sonic for some reason. Someone hacked it to be just Sonic instead.
Didn't it also have a plot in the final level where Mario saves a bunch of Sonics trapped in cages which ends with a super campy message about how much Mario and Sonic love each other now that "they're best friends"? Or was that another "Mario-in-Sonic" style rom hack? Edit: So, my memory is really dumb. It's not SoMari, but "Sonic the Hedgehog 4" for the SNES. Also, the roles are reversed. Sonic has to save the caged Marios. Also they're described as "good friends forever" that "nobody can separate".... .... and I forgot that the last part was "Sonic LOVES Nintendo. Mario LOVES SEGA." I remembered it vaguely enough to capture its craziness at least, right? XD
@mjdxp5688 SoMari was considered to be the one of the worst of so-called "pirated" games for the NES. As you've mentioned, a dedicated fan had hacked the game to make it a feasible demake of Sonic 1, and since then, it had gotten updates to where it looks so damn good. Unfortunately, due to the state of limitations of NES hardware, the controls _still remain wonky_ to this day.
Why did the blue PSP knockoff use a pixel-accurate-moveable cursor in so many places instead of using the arrow buttons to switch a highlight to the next button in that direction?!?
@@Unpredictable_Fennec The cardridges are in this case basically a removable part of the device, not really an add-on. And it's more tedious to use if you actually have to aim that cursor instead of knowing that one press will bring you one space over in the chosen direction.
@@Lampe2020 what ? I'm talking about the roms in the device they're multi carts as in they have multiple games,the cartridges aren't real they just have 2 pins to connect in a certain way to tell the device to open the selected multi cart
@@Unpredictable_Fennec Then the cardridges are even more just a removable part of the device. So it's even more on the creators of the device why they chose that way of interacting with the thing. But it changes literally nothing about the fact that for that form factor normal controller behaviour would be better.
@@Lampe2020 you dont understand me,the way the cursor works is all in the game rom,the people who made the device aren't the ones who made them,they just did the key mapping
This makes me remember of when my parents bought me a handheld knockoff which had actually hundreds of games (they had their own ones actually). I used to play with it until I wanted to look what's inside annnnd... I broke it! Didn't work since that day. I still miss the music it played when I turned on the console
Honestly from a hardware perspective it’s impressive at the price point. If the Roms were customizable I’d create my own NES game for my portfolio and hand these out like business cards.
just a little mention at 27:20 the gba micro knockoff probably was running a NOAC (Nes on a chip) instead of emulating in sottware like the psp knockoff
for some reason that battery is widely used nowadays in cheap electronics, i got a potable speaker and a palm sized keyboard that use it, they don't have the nokia logo but they kept the model number as the name of the brand
4:54 Something interesting is that a lot of these original bootleg Famiclone games are ports of Intellivision games. I remember one of these bootleg ports was of this Galaga clone where you shoot bees with a spray can.
While Battle City was released only in Japan, it often was bundled with pirated Famicom clones, it was actually one of the most popular games in post Soviet countries. Just a small bit of trivia for you
The X6 game file list repeats with many duplicates, there definitely are not 11,210 games on there. I've heard that it is possible to fix the system to play games properly as the hardware is actually up to the task, it's their terrible software that isn't doing it properly.
Yeah I am sure there is a firmware update at the very least, if not a community fix if there is a big enough community for it like the Datafrog machines have.
Most interesting to me is that the performance issues with the X6 seem to suggest it's got some background tasks that are interrupting the foreground emulator, rather than an issue with the hardware keeping up with emulation, as it seems to have the same problems regardless of if it's a SNES, GBA, or NES game. I wonder what it is doing?

I used to have the second fake PSP knockoff as a kid. I remember there being multiple versions when I tried to buy it again, mine likely was a fairly good model since I never had any lag when playing with it (and it had the camera was terrible for even standards back then). You still couldnt customize the games on the homescreen, but you could change the wallpaper 😅
Another thing I just remembered was that the TV output was black and white only. I thought it was broken but after searching online it seemed like that was the norm for knockoffs like that.
0:00 Why you gotta say it like "Yep, it's time for *another* one of these videos.💀" when I'm like "yay, it's time for another one of *these* videos! 😁" I love watching people open cheap crap shipped all the way from China that I don't have the patience or attention span to wait for myself.
One of my pet peeves honestly is when people who aren't as familiar with them call bootleg/pirate original games a "ROM hack" or "homebrew." I see it very often.
@@thepirategamerboy12 For me, it's people who make pirate game videos, doing nothing for research or worse, spreading misinformation. One such example that comes to my mind is ConnerTheWaffle. In one of his videos, he mentioned that the NES Plant vs Zombies bootleg was made in Russia, but it was actually made by a company in Xi'an, China. (the company being Nice Code.)
I genuinely don't understand why anyone would buy these. Not even a small child would find these fun in the slightest. Classic games can be a lot of fun if they're not poorly hacked and stuck into a cheap plastic container with the sound quality of a watch beeper.
A possible guess as to why the PSP2 is having random freezes is not because it's CPU is incapable of handling the games, but rather that it doesn't have enough RAM to store the full levels and other ROM data, and has to pause to load a little bit more of the ROM into memory.
I played Battle City a lot when I was a child. (In my country game consoles were all knockoff produces. ) Still fondly remember it, never finished though.
With consoles like the X6, which is a PowKiddy J6 clone apparently, i would always check first if there is a custom firmware for them. Better pay a tenner more for a handheld that receives updates by the community than being stuck with the most times horrible stock firmware.
This may be not possible to do, but I was thinking of what may be an interesting video to do (not that you don't already have enough work I know,) is that you do with MAC OS like you do with Windows OS. For example go from an early build of MAC OS 10 to a new version of MAC OS 10. I know nothing about MACS, so I do not know if this would be possible, but I think it would be an interesting video. Thank you for making so many videos! Been binging your videos for the past 2 weeks. I use them as my go to sleep videos of choice too, (not that your videos put me to sleep, but you know what I mean!)
the last handheld you showcased actually has a ton of revisions, i have one that was designed to look like a nintnedo switch, it uses an almost identical ui and branding, yours is the x6 and mine is the x19

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Jesus
I used to have the second fake PSP knockoff as a kid. I remember there being multiple versions when I tried to buy it again, mine likely was a fairly good model since I never had any lag when playing with it (and it had the camera was terrible for even standards back then).
You still couldnt customize the games on the homescreen, but you could change the wallpaper 😅
Another thing I just remembered was that the TV output was black and white only. I thought it was broken but after searching online it seemed like that was the norm for knockoffs like that.
Yeah they've definitely been on the market for a long time.
DONT GO TO SLEEP YET. Michael MJD has uploaded a new video.!!!
I think 7+2=9, isn't the name of the cartridge, but just part of the background image!
0:36 Ive seen these on actual store shelves where i live briefly
these things were the only entertainment i had after bootleg dvds
Yess!! New Video!
Quality Content 💯
20:28
"Test file, please delete after testing."
Oh my.... :D
I have the same bootleg PS2 wallet. It's honestly pretty nice it's just big
Man i really liked this video it was really good keep up the good work
4:06 Those moments of fun. Glory music while triggering the Game Over screen 🤣
You can buy a knock off console cheaper than you can buy a console shell replacement. 🥴
8:21 I didn't expect a Nokia phone battery. I thought the marketing team just googled a generic rechargeable battery and stumbled upon that picture.
New MJD video :D
0:00 Why you gotta say it like "Yep, it's time for *another* one of these videos.💀" when I'm like "yay, it's time for another one of *these* videos! 😁"
I love watching people open cheap crap shipped all the way from China that I don't have the patience or attention span to wait for myself.
This video just solidified exactly what Temu really is!
The thumbnail is the most accurate thing i have ever seen (for da logo)
I finally got to watch the video during my spare life.
The Famicom Sonic game is a pirate port and not a ROM hack.
Yes
One of my pet peeves honestly is when people who aren't as familiar with them call bootleg/pirate original games a "ROM hack" or "homebrew." I see it very often.
@@thepirategamerboy12 For me, it's people who make pirate game videos, doing nothing for research or worse, spreading misinformation.
One such example that comes to my mind is ConnerTheWaffle. In one of his videos, he mentioned that the NES Plant vs Zombies bootleg was made in Russia, but it was actually made by a company in Xi'an, China. (the company being Nice Code.)
We are about to witness Michael's headfirst tumble down the retro handheld rabbit hole.
I genuinely don't understand why anyone would buy these. Not even a small child would find these fun in the slightest. Classic games can be a lot of fun if they're not poorly hacked and stuck into a cheap plastic container with the sound quality of a watch beeper.

Son:“Mom can we get a psp?”
Mom:“We have a psp at home.”
The psp at home:
A possible guess as to why the PSP2 is having random freezes is not because it's CPU is incapable of handling the games, but rather that it doesn't have enough RAM to store the full levels and other ROM data, and has to pause to load a little bit more of the ROM into memory.
I played Battle City a lot when I was a child. (In my country game consoles were all knockoff produces. ) Still fondly remember it, never finished though.
With consoles like the X6, which is a PowKiddy J6 clone apparently, i would always check first if there is a custom firmware for them.
Better pay a tenner more for a handheld that receives updates by the community than being stuck with the most times horrible stock firmware.
Yeah, I always wondered if those knockoff systems can even have custom firmware. It really seems like it's the software that's bad.
The classic game card cover is awesome
Hell yeah, love me some sketchy shopping sites
Michael MJD know Action Retro and DankPods?
Its really warming to knowing those channel because you like tech stuff
Yay! Just in time for snacks!
This may be not possible to do, but I was thinking of what may be an interesting video to do (not that you don't already have enough work I know,) is that you do with MAC OS like you do with Windows OS. For example go from an early build of MAC OS 10 to a new version of MAC OS 10. I know nothing about MACS, so I do not know if this would be possible, but I think it would be an interesting video. Thank you for making so many videos! Been binging your videos for the past 2 weeks. I use them as my go to sleep videos of choice too, (not that your videos put me to sleep, but you know what I mean!)
the last handheld you showcased actually has a ton of revisions, i have one that was designed to look like a nintnedo switch, it uses an almost identical ui and branding, yours is the x6 and mine is the x19
Battle CIty is a great game. Nice to see it on this teeny tiny thing.
"nes classic"
Is literally a "NES-in-a-chip", no need more circuits, but is possible modding if can "drill" the epoxy of chip
Ashens will be proud 🥲
PS2 Wallet, that's sick as hell
Opening devices and see internals is always fun
Ahh, the return of the 0-3 sad onions
woah, those consoles are so real!
Ngl Micheal, Im waiting for that Sony Vaio video. Hopefully you found that Driver?
Love that Tpye C port.
Wasn't expecting a dank pods reference
7:46 that caught me off guard
and they stink lol😂
