If you've got a question or an idea for a video you think will rock then why not drop a comment, Super Thanks, or tweet at HHG4Life or consider a membership which will really help the channel.
My first "handheld" would be my Grandstand games Firefox game, which technically was portable if not exactly handheld.
Since then I've progressed through Atari Lynx, various models of Gameboy, GB Micro, PSP, PS Vita, GPD Win, Couple of Switches, many handheld emulators (Anbernic, Miyoo etc) but recently I've mostly settled on Windows based handhelds.
Currently have a a number of current handheld PCs, Android handhelds and others!
Also currently loving game streaming via the @Abxylute handheld. Early DVT2 tester and now owner of a Panda model.

New Strategy Game on Steam | MONARCHY
มุมมอง 3052 หลายเดือนก่อน
I got an early review copy of this game and over the last few days I've been testing it out on various handhelds and I can confirm it runs well on Steam Deck, runs really well on GPD Win4 and can be made to run acceptably even on the Anbernic Win600. Its a devilishly hard little side scrolling strategy game which only holds your hand one time, at the intro. And then its full on fight to survive...

I've long promised some alternatives to the Datafrog SF2000. There had to be something better at a similar price point, and so far I've only found 2 handhelds. The TRIMUI Model S and now this the Family Pocket FC3000. The FC3000 is actually older than either the TRIMUI or the SF2000 but its better than the SF2000 if not as good as the TRIMUI. I'll do a head to head with the FC3000 and the Model...

Has anyone tried upgrading the battery to a bigger capacity?
The capacity itself isn't the problem its finding anything that will fit the connector. Anbernic washed their hands of the Win600 as soon as it hit the market, much like they do with ALL their products, getting spares is impossible as they refuse to sell them and won't help in sourcing alternatives.
Buenos días, donde los compraste podrías compartir el link :D
Aliexpress, hunt around and be patient as prices vary a lot. But I spotted one seller with them for just £11. Thats about $15
Its for mouse and keyboard
Well sure, but it can be played on a handheld.
@handheldgaming4life trust me it isnt that kind of game, even if u can.. Almost griefing your team at that point lols
Most of the reviews are sarcastic😅
Some perhaps, but most not so much, its just me and my Scottish accent and humor mostly.
I need assistance when going full screen is when it glitches in many of the older games. Though, when pressing on the screen, it stops the glitching. I believe this may be to graphics driver, but not sure. Please help if you can, thank you.
This hack was relevant 2 years ago when I first posted it but never drivers might give issues. Its possible you could try with a version of the Adrenaline software from then. But you'll be potentially sacrificing updated driver performance if you do.
I saw bunch of this knockoff cassatte in aliexpress. Thanks for reviewing. The price is cheap.
Yeah not as bad as I expected to be honest. Obviously the pack of Dolby B is noticeable but not impossible to live with.
Whats that game with the skate board?
Driftwood. It's pretty fun, but I'm terrible at it. 😂

I put Knulli on mine last week. I totally agree with you, having Knulli on it is a game changer.
I had a girlfriend that was shonky
Just got mine for $14 already got a mini plus but that was $35. Do the math champ.
Got ya, twice the price but exponentially better! Smart money is on the MM+. 😁 Just my hot take. Buy cheap, buy twice. I should know I've got dozens of handhelds most of which don't get used after disappointing initial review.
@handheldgaming4life I guess it depends what you get out of the hobby. I think the sf2k is a really fun and unique little machine with decent community support. If you don't enjoy tinkering and just want performance every time then yeah it's a waste of money but that seems contradictory to the hobby tbh. And at a certain point price doesn't even matter. $14?? Like come on. And I've seen them for less.
The problem I have with the device is no mater how much you tinker you can't squeeze anything extra out of it, no amount of community is going to fix that unless they can develop a genuine custom OS that can pluck performance out of think air. Other than adding some other emulation, and thats pretty janky, the modding of the device is very much a dead end. I recently reviewed 2 other handhelds, that I picked up for the same price as the SF2000 and they're both better in every meaningful way. Or just buy the MM+ and have a great gaming experience without constant need to tweak everything.
@@handheldgaming4life i have the miyoo mini plus already. Ive got it all dialed in and it's my main retro. Nothing left to do with it. That's what I mean. You're not wrong but some people actually LIKE tinkering and messing with a new OS. If you really want performance youd just use an android or steam deck. There's more to it than that. Even if it's sub par. That being said what were the other two cheap consoles? I'd like to tinker with those too.
Did you change the display setting on the Steam Deck to 1080 or leave it as it was? Hard to tell from your vid but are the graphics crisp enough? Ive got the dock, and Forza Horizon 4 but no Deck to try atm as I'm in RMA right now and bought my external monitor (1080) while it was away getting fixed.
720p, mentioned in the video, with FSR. Runs well on a basic 1080p 60hz display. Definitely plenty playable. Video is 2 years old now, so FH4 might perform better now with the updates its had and the SteamOS updates. I feel I might make another FH4 video soon for those of us who purchased it before it was delisted.
@@handheldgaming4life if you could do that and go a bit more in depth with settings, connection to dock, FSR, etc. that would be great 👍🏼
Tbh i think 40 is fine with medium settings. Plugged in, as i always do with more intense games. I only use battery when playing retro emulation. Edit; Noticed you have vertical sync on. Turn it off, this is one of the main problems. Switch that off, set to 40 and its butter.
40 does feel fine especially with the increase in graphics settings. I'll give your suggestion a go on my next video.
An x9s is better than a Myoo mini
link?
@handheldgaming4life I don't have link anymore bought this in 2019 for 19 bucks
@Coolllama is this the knock-off PSP clone thing ? I googled it because I'd never heard of it.
@handheldgaming4life it looks like one but not really, has its own files thing like music player and videos you can put on the SD to watch, also many many games oh wait.... It is starting to sound like one
I just found this on AliExpress: £24.83 | X9-S 5.1 inch HD Screen Handheld Game Console 8GB Support TV 32bit 1000 Classic Game Player MP4 Multimedia Camera Video Game a.aliexpress.com/_EvJZZvA
Has anyone gotten the port of freedom planet to work in knulli on this device? ive added the files to the necessay gamedata folder. I l kow it works on panfrost but looks like there is no option to switch over from mali. Any suggestions?
Fixed 57hz to 60hz?
I believe it was advertised as 60hz but testing has proven its 57hz. Still very playable and I still use mine frequently to remote play my TV Console PC when away from home.
Miyoo Mini+ $55 Data Frog SF2000 $16 You: "It doesn't cost you much more" Yeah, more than triple... For anyone who's wondering, I bought an SF2000 on AliExpress about 20 minutes ago for $16
Been debating between Odin 2 and Odin 2 mini, i think this app is the final nail, I'm defiantly getting the Odin 2.
I believe the mini will be the more popular device now with its better screen but for me I still have a lot of love for the Odin2.
This has given me hope in possibly emulating my favorite game. Do you recommend using an anbernic? I just bought a POWKIDDY RGB10 MAX3 and was hoping to configure it to basically just play Skyrim, but I’m torn if that will work and how to go about it correctly. Do you have a walkthrough on how you installed and ran the game, and do you have an opinion on whether I can achieve this with the handheld I’ve gotten and if it’ll work? I appreciate the help and advice!
Skyrim barely hits usable FPS on the Anbernic. I doubt it will even run on Powkiddy. I'd say if you can find the Anbernic for $100 it would be worth buying for classic gaming. But there' really are a lot better options now. Sadly they are all quite expensive now though.
Does it's cpu replaceable? (Sorry for my bad grammar😢)
No this the CPU is fixed.
Vega 3 isn't too bad and u can always get an external GPU from Amazon or a bracket for one that can improve performance just have like a decent lightning cord
Don't think the USB port on the Win600 is e-gpu capable.
dear @handheldgaming4life , can you have a guide to setup atomiswave games on Knulli? Mine seem doesn't work
thank you so much dude it used to look like beans
Glad i was able to help. In fact i'm just about to return to GoW and I couldn't remember my settings so this video will even help me. 🤣
Where did you buy them?
Job lot, both bought in single sale on eBay. Both in great condition too and they're nice to hold and use.
How do u change Megadrive logo to Sega Genesis. And also the PC Engine Logo to Turbo Grafx
I think I just stuck the roms into those game folders and scanned the volume and Knulli did the rest. N
What sort of battery does the mini use? I'm worried about fire hazards.
The Miyoo devices use a regular pouch style battery. Definitely seem much better quality than the 18650 provided in the SF2000.
Nahhh....it good enough for the price...maybe you is rubbish 😂
I enjoy tweaking hardware to get the best out of it, but when the best is still subpar barely able to run close to full speed with maximum frame skipping etc then I just won't recommend. 🤷♂️
@handheldgaming4life you should try latest custom firmware purple neo multicore 0.10
Not working
What isn't? Accessing the BIOS has been confirmed by multiple sources. I use it in the video and I've used it several times.
MuOS is way better on the SP
I tried it but it just feel like it fit for me. All the different OS variants bring strengths and weaknesses but I personally prefer Knulli right now.
Is any driver software need bro
Don't think so, It just needs to pair to your device with some key combos.
Does this have vibration for switch
The D8 does have vibration. But I'm honestly not sure if it works in switch mode.
I hate the SD Cards that come with these. I just wish they came with name brand cards.
Yeah I don't think I've purchased a handheld that came with a genuine branded SD card. I replace them all, or where possible buy the model that's cheaper and comes with zero SD card and then buy a better larger one for not much more than the difference in model prices with a card. Then its a simple case of transferring your "own" ROM set onto the card.
I upgraded my SD card to get more games and got a Samsung Branded Evo 512 card
I’m sorry I’m so late but I was having same issue I just downloaded it from the actual Microsoft store and it’s working for me now sorry if it’s to late
Yeah this issue was back in 2022. 😂 Good to know I'll try Microsoft store next time. I think I ended up wiping my OneXplayer and that "fixed" it.
Hey Brother! I’m over here in the US in Alabama and I also got a pretty good deal from Whatgeek. I’m pretty sure we got the same discounts on it. That was my first time ordering from them and I was a little bit on the fence ordering from a Chinese vendor. It did take about 12 days to get here but sure enough, it did. Overall great experience if you have the patience. All in all I love the Win 4. It does get a bit hot on the right hand side if you have the performance turned up for a period of time but it works fine for me. I tried the Ally X, Legion Go and Steam Deck and all of them just seemed to be a bit large for me. I would have loved to see a 7” screen on it but I bought it for portability and power. Still checks those boxes so I’m keeping it. Thanks for the video and you got a new sub from me. Cheers!
Yeah Whatgeek seem to be a bit old school in shipping. I'm guessing they batch up their orders every 5 days as nothing seems to happen after initial order. But then boom its shipped and then the fun tracking begins. For the discounts on offer though I think its worth it. Agreed about portability though. I was hands on with a Ally-X the other day and if I want something chungus I'll grab my Deck! 😂 If I want performance and portability the Win4 is hard to beat.
The screen flickers at any refresh rate other than 60 or 30
Which screen, Abxylute or Deck?
@handheldgaming4life The stock LCD. Valve cheaped out on the displays hence the tablet aspect ratio. It's well documented online Google "steam deck flickering 40hz"
If we install a non steam game on Windows in shared BTRFS drive, can i just add it as non steam game on Bazzite? Is it run properly? Thanks man
you know what, I'm not sure, not something I've tested. I shall investigate.
Loving the ‘Skaughtisch’ accent!
Bought an Anbernic RG ARC-D. It's perfect for arcade games and runs everything under Sega NAOMI/Dreamcast pretty well. Sure it's not all that pocketable, but it's perfectly comftorble both size and ergonomic wise.
Its a strange device, was ultra popular with reviewers for about 5mins and then onto the next Anbernic device. I never bought one myself. How do you find the performance?
The MPPT converter has an initialization problem at low light conditions when the solar panel output is very low. According to the Bluetti forum the solution is to solder a 2200uF electrolytic capacitor in between the wires of the solar charging cable.
Interesting, not ideal, but interesting. Strangely some US owners who complained enough got an update that rectified this too, but Bluetti won't listen to anyone else.
@handheldgaming4life According to the Bluetti forum there has never been an update that fixed the problem but rather the opposite, the new firmware caused the problem in 2022.
@@karlbraunewell4498weird, there were definitely videos circulating after this alleged update. That said, if the "fix" is hard modding the cables then Bluetti should be recalling cables and shipping working ones to owners. It's the least they can do to build a solid brand image. As it stands it looks like they've cut early adopters loose.
@@SpoolsOfSoundMate, I simply shared a workaround with you....take it or leave it 😊
@@karlbraunewell4498 Oh I'll take it. I just so happen to have a bundle of capacitors so might try my hand at a fix.👌
I thought you were going to throw it at the end🤪
I have been known to be butter fingered at times, but thankfully not with my gaming handhelds. 😁
can you make a short video on what the settings should use on beamng on gpd win 4?
th-cam.com/users/shortsonXYGSNfjgc I didn't even tweak, just lowest settings at 1080p and I think 15W TDP (for 20W total draw).
Where did you download the Dreamcast
Flycast can be downloaded from play store now. Redream can be downloaded from online.
@handheldgaming4life how did you do it? Do you have a tutorial?
What handheld is that?
GPD WIN4 (2024 edition). Cracking piece of kit.
@handheldgaming4life thanks, is it worth it the purchase? What's the performance like?
@@kmbosi_ It rocks the AMD 8840U APU and its one of the best processors for a handheld at the moment. I picked mine up via UK.Whatgeek and with a discount code I got 13% off.
how can i get ps2 bios???
Try archive.org
I just bought mine for 7,5 € shipped... You just have to wait for a discount...
Indeed. I only buy hardware on discount now. Which is why I picked up better hardware for same price as SF2000. 👌
@handheldgaming4life what did you buy for 7,5€ that's better?!?
@@danielmesquita1746 SF3000 and Trimui Model S are both better and can be had cheap during sales. You just have to wait for the deals.
Are you supposed to pronounce the K ?
Probably not. 😂 Regardless it's a cracking little upgraded OS.
I only recently got it because it was 50$ off and the last two handhelds were a mixed bag but it looks like the performance is finally good because the rp3+ could barely run ps2 the only game I got "playable" was metal gear solid 3 and it was a great game even at 20 fps which is why I'm excited to finally be able to afford a ps2 handheld
Yeah Portable PS2 sums the RP4Pro up perfectly. Got a trip planned, day trip out on the train and I'll likely take the RP4 Pro and a Panasonic RQ-SX model personal stereo (because I'm old) and they'll take up hardly any space.
