    It's time to channel your inner Sith lord because the PlayGo now comes in red and black and it is fire. This color combination was the second most popular color behind the original black device, so the manufacturer produced a limited run of the PlayGo with this color scheme. This video covers the new device along with some tips for Pocket Go/PlayGo users that want to change emulators and lower their audio levels.

      By the way, there's a new custom firmware, the Rouge CFW for the Pocket Go 2 (It works on the PlayGo as well). You just need to flash the sd_image to the main sd card using something like Balena's Etcher. It also features a recompiled version of PCSX4All, which should have additional updates. Doing this will fix the issue of the volume, and will allow for different recognized file formats such as Exfat and NTFS. You can just use the OPK updater, BUT ONLY IF YOU ACTUALLY HAVE THE CUSTOM FIRMWARE INSTALLED. Otherwise it will bootloop and you'll need to reflash the SD Card to get it working again. Feel free to make a tutorial about this. The last commit to the CFW was 2 days ago so it is extremely active and will likely continue to be updated for a while.

    For the volume, a more sensible mod is to get an equivalent speaker with a higher impedance value.
    Commons values range from 4 ohms thru to 32 ohms. You can measure your speaker with a multimeter in resistance mode to get an idea of what the value is (resistance is often +/-20% off from the impedance value).
    Usually, the volume is cut in half when you double the impedance, so if the device puts out 1 watt in a 4 ohm speaker, using an 8 ohm speaker will put out 0.5 watt, 16 ohms does 0.25 watt, and so on.
    Doing that may also reduce distortion at higher Volumes, since the audio amplifier isn't "pushed" as hard.

    For those wanting an updated ReGBA while keeping the menu button working, I compiled this OPK: s.spoonm.org/etc/regba.opk
    It doesn't just change the short power press to the menu button, but also contains a more minimal border since the default one annoys me. I'll probably try adding support for L2 and R2 to create hotkeys later. I compiled this from what appears to be the latest active fork.

    Got the red and black playgo because of your video and used your link. Took 3 months to finally get to me due to covid, but I'm very happy with it. No button problems, sound is way too high for the lowest setting. Muffling it with tape is a bad idea since it muffles it, not turn it down but if you're not in public then the minimum level is fine. Actually prefer the plastic rim to a metal one. Metal appeals to people because they think metal = expensive but metal = weight which makes drops more impactful. Also metal doesn't give, so metal ends up getting scratched and bent. Also it would feel inconsistent. All in all, no regrets.

      @@TakiUdon Sorry to hear that you couldnt get an advance review copy, but I still recommend picking one up after it starts shipping around end of january for your channel, doing its own review and comparisons since you have done a great job so far in comparing the others for your viewers. A good way to further build your audience. From what I have viewed on ETAPRIMEs initial tests with a advance copy its performance potential is higher in certain emulators due to its specs. Whether its a better choice for certain classic emulators that already run very well on the other devices, have a great community support is a good question to look into.
      I bought the black playgo through your link as these devices run some of the emulators better then the 3001 psp I've been using for awhile. I have the entire catalog of rg350/gcw0 emulators I'm going through now with hope most all work as well on the playgo so I wont need a rg350. I got the atari 5200, colecovision, intellivision, atari 2600 (stella393) all running very well so far. Dont put the 5200.rom for the atari 5200 emulator (a5200.opk) into the /media/home/a5200 directory, it wont work. Instead put 5200.rom bios into /media/home and it works.

    I ordered three of the original black ones right after I watched your review on the black one.
    I have a couple of RG350s and the PlayGo plays some of my PSX images very well while the RG350 has glitching and sound issues on them. I first thought I had a bad unit but both of my RG350s act exactly the same way on the same games.
    I can't blame it on my game images because when I move the SD with my games to any of my PlayGo units they play flawlessly.
    The PlayGo has their competition beat when it comes to performance, price, menu button functions and form factor.
    A few days with my PlayGo made me regret my purchase of the RG350s.
    It's interesting to see how two devices with almost identical hardware specs and operating systems can perform so differently on the same game and emulator. I've seen a few PSX games that the RG350 has trouble with that the PlayGo runs well. There are of course games like Bloody Roar that neither will perform well with. I have yet to play any PSX game that performed better on the RG350 than the PlayGo. I can live without the RG350's second analog stick. None of my favorite games require two analog sticks. I'm glad I didn't wait on the red one. I like the original black and silver model better. I hope 2020 brings us some affordable handheld consoles with higher specifications.
    If it continues to improve at the rate it did last year, we may be able the play PSP games on an OpenDingus platform. Of course you can play PSP games now on a high end Android phone. I want to use my phone as a phone and not as an overpriced game console.
    Great job as always on the review Taki!! You are my first stop for "whats new" in handheld consoles.

After turning off the HLE simulated bios I discovered there were no bios files available in the bios folder. I copied them from my PlayGo SD card over to my RG350 SD card. I then selected SCHP1001 for the default bios. Now playing PSX games on the RG350 is just as good as on the PlayGo. Thank You SO much for steering me in the right direction. If you hadn't mentioned the HLE simulated bios setting, I probably would have given up before finding the real problem. I REALLY wanted my RG350s to run my PSX favorites correctly.

The seller in Taki's link ships fast. I am still waiting on spare batteries I bought from a different seller. I wish they had been available from the same seller that has the PlayGo consoles.

    The only issue I’m having is with Oswan, playing games at 76fps..... also I’ve noticed that the international model play go and the American pocket go don’t come with the same things. Like I don’t have any Zelda fan made game. My pocket go also didn’t ship with the temper.opk, I had to get that from someone. Might be a good video to see what comes with what, and maybe set up a little community where we can share .opks, to have the total package.
    There might not be updates to the stock firmware, but the “Rogue” custom FW is already up to 1.03..... I’ve got it installed on a 128gb card, with the tf 2 slot having a 128gb card too. About 240gb of storage in total. This little thing is awesome

      @marconihimself 4 роки тому

      I had a gpd xd device for emulation on android, but after about a year it would only turn on if plugged, and when you plug it the controls get jambled. Probably an issue with the battery. The optimal use was to charge the 6000mah battery with a 5v charger and I was using high end chargers from brands like anker. Im much more optimistic with a usb c device with an easy to replace battery like this one.
      Having said that, emulation on android is well above the average mark. Some sega cd games wont run, but only a few. Psx and n64 are good, and everything below that runs properly.

    Do you recommend to change the firmware to the "rogue custom firmware"? or is it gonna be some new "official" firmware, i have no idea where to find any info about this. and also, do i need ps1 bios for the emulator to work? if so, then should i put the bios (i guess two or three of them) in the same directory as the gba one?

    • @TakiUdon
      @TakiUdon  4 роки тому +1

      It's not worth updating to rogue yet. As for the bios, it needs to be copied to your SD card in any place that you want. You'll point to it within the emulator if you turn off HLE bios.
