Near-Perfect Budget Handheld Emulation! (TrimUI Brick Review)
#budgetemulation #trimuibrick
There's a new budget handheld in the market, and it might be the best of the best! Up to this point, the Miyoo Mini is my budget pocketable handheld to beat, but with the TrimUI Brick and its great aesthetic, this might just have taken the seat as my new favorite budget emulation handheld with its ability to emulate up to PS1, Dreamcast, and even some N64, it packs quite a punch - and helps that the design is very clearly based around the Analogue Pocket which is already one of the best devices on the market!

Just a simple question wise poeple, how much does this cost?
You are telling me that The Legion go Steam edition has 32 gb ram, Z1 Extreme and 1 TB memory for only 500 bucks???
Here's my brick tip I remapped the RGB function buttons to start and select. The lower row of buttons act as menu and other functions. In my philosophy the pretty buttons should be game controls, while the lower are device controls. Also I really like minUI
Great idea! Thanks for watching! 😊
the video was great I'm dedefinitely gonna get the Odin pro and what i like about it is you can play playstation 2 games on it to 😊🎮🕹🥳
Does it work with Bluetooth headphones or just controllers?
The best ADHD device
Or the best way to FOCUS with a device! I have walkthroughs on the bottom screen, main game up top! 😂 Thanks for watching!
@@ScatteredBrain Didn't think on it, would work wonders in many games Thanks for the vid mate
Comment below if you found the funky thing on one of my TrimUI Bricks!! (I didn’t notice until after I uploaded the video!) 😅
What's happened with the view count haha, did you reupload...?
Nobody wants to know about all of the cool tech I pack in that tiny bag! 😂 Thanks for watching!
Only thing I’m concerned about is how warm it is, I’m getting some people saying it is and some saying it’s comfortable
If you play Genshin Impact for 6 hours, yes the device will get a little hot. If you play Switch emulation for 6 hours I’d bet the device gets a bit warm. I think if you’re pushing the device to its limits, it’s going to generate heat. But you can turn on the fans, or you can even just limit the performance mode so it doesn’t work to the point of getting warm (of course that will also limit performance) Personally this hasn’t been a concern for me! Thanks for watching! 😊
Pretty bad
Thanks for watching! 😊
I can see Microsoft releasing an Edge OS that is a modified version of Windows where Microsoft Edge will mimic steam OS and allow gamers to play games from multiple companies without much tweaking.
I bought one last week, it,s great maybe a dumb question, can i load onion os on it? I realy like that software :)
Nope! It uses the Analogue OS. But their software is great! Super minimal! Thanks for watching!
@ScatteredBrain thabks for the reply i see that it works great indeed :)
Does the switch needs to be hacked or will this mig cartridge work on a standard switch?
No hacks - works on any Nintendo Switch, no modifications
tl;dr get an ally x
🤷 Ally x is still expensive! Thanks for watching!
I see that both the windows and steam is will have the same hardware specs on their site and on review sites.
Best Buy’s pre order that’s live now shows a different chipset 🤔
Had one, psplay was only playable at mininal mbps, and gfn was barely playable too unless very low mbps, They made a cloud streaming device but used a cpu that can barely keep up with high bitrate decoding.. bit of a joke since its such a geniys idea
Does anyone know if they’re going to release a higher spec variation of the SteamOS version?
Nope. No plans they’ve announced for that. We know of technically 4 SKUs on their way: Lenovo Legion Go 2 (Z2E chip) Lenovo Legion Go S (Windows, Z2 Go chip, 32gb RAM, 1tb storage) Lenovo Legion Go S (Windows, Z1E chip) Lenovo Legion Go S (SteamOS, Z1E chip) The Best Buy listings talks about a Z2 Go, but the Lenovo Press release doesn’t even mention it. It’s a little more convoluted than it should be. Thanks for watching! 😊
@ Do you know which chip is more powerful the Z2 Go or the Z1 Extreme?
@@Woozie350 nah benchmarks and specs aren’t clear at this point. Hopefully we will get a better idea when that Best Buy model gets released!
i see a used one for $188. i might get it due to emulation is amazing on it plus 144hz screen etc
That price is incredible! Razer also showed off their new local game streaming companion app at CES and it looks great! So happy to see them continuing to support the Edge!
The one question I have yet to see anyone answer about the SteamOS version: Are the back buttons and gyro individually addressable in Steam Input? This could have been easily answered by exploring the controller settings.
Great question! The demo units were fairly locked down so it was hard to really dive into those specifics which would explain why it wasn’t able to be covered in my video or others. But I’m sure it’s something I’ll be able to look into with a finalized retail unit! Thanks for watching 😊
Even Lenovo doesn't activate Windows.
😅😅😅
And then there is me who’s gonna buy the top spec one and install steam os 😂😂😂😂
OHHHH YEA. YOU KNOW IT! 🔌 ⚡️
That’s actually a really good idea
I just hope they completely overhaul legion space… because it sucks
I think based on what I saw, it looks like it’s at least going to get some UI upgrades, thankfully. Fingers crossed! Thanks for watching! 😊
ill most likely get the windows version and dual boot.
Dual booting is amazing and my preference on the ASUS ROG Ally X! Thanks for watching 😊
The Legion Go S with Steam, can it play play COD online?
SteamOS unfortunately doesn’t play nice with COD because of the anti-cheat. Maybe one day! But… not at the moment unfortunately. Thanks for watching! 😊
@@ScatteredBrain Thank you for responding :) Will go for the Windows version instead.
I prefer windows, more functions.
I love the ease of use that comes with SteamOS but leaving behind the versatility (and comfort) of windows can be hard! Also GamePass not being available through SteamOS unless you’re cloud gaming is definitely something to consider! Thanks for watching! 😊
The steam os version will sell incredibly well. I almost wonder if the windows version sells a single unit.
You’re right! But the windows version coming out soon is a higher spec device… 32gb of ram, and then to install SteamOS on it later might be worthwhile! Thanks for watching 😊
@@ScatteredBraindo you think it will be possible to install windows dual boot to the steam os model
@ don’t see why not! We’ll have to see how all the boot loader stuff works but I’d guess it’ll be able to!
I'm more interested in SteamOS 3 than the handheld devices. Especially how Microsoft is screwing up Windows with their updates.
Don’t even get me started on windows 😂😂 Thanks for watching!
If steam os is better than bazzite I'm excited. But I'm excited by the $100 cheaper price of the steam OS version as well.
I think while Bazzite is great - the SteamOS release will be driver optimized for the Lenovo legion go s and that alone is going to be a big benefit - new chipset, new hardware, all ready out of the box through SteamOS no need to worry about installing yourself. It’s the dream! Thanks for watching! 😊
@ I think it will actually seem more powerful than the Legion Go 1 because of the VRR screen.
I will waiting you Compare legion go s with Ally X and legion go
That’s the plan! Thanks for watching! 😊
I hope Lenovo improves the upward firing speakers with better drivers or woofers.. the 1st Legion Go speakers were utter garbage. Don't fuk this up Lenovo!
The S has front firing speakers!! I think they’ll do us right this time 🤞🏻! Thanks for watching!
Hot take : Legion Go S is going to sell faster than Steam Deck over the same period of time 🤔
YEEESSSSS! THE GO S WILL DETHRONE THE DECK!!!!!! (But in all seriousness, the GO S could be a good lightweight option that may not interest current Deck owners but can build a passionate consumer base of casual games that are fine not playing AAA gaming. If Lenovo reorganizes themselves from the launch, addresses Battery life, Hardware issues, and other concerns, and Gives GENUINE SUPPORT. If it succeeds, we may see better organization and more options. Lenovo could ask AMD for another exclusive chip that is more battery efficient and Lenient/Experimental for modern AAA gaming.)
The question is...are you getting one? 👀
Got one on pre order, and I’ll be there day 1 for SteamOS x Lenovo!
@ScatteredBrain let's go! Hype!
I absolutely love mine! One handheld to carry around with all my games! So worth the price!
how are switch games like?
@@S5MIKEYfor the most part pretty good! Though it’s a trial and error but I can play animal crossing and pokemon
I wonder if NS2 will make it harder for this sort of thing
Hey bro where can you buy that Lamp that says 7400? @ 2:19
Just got my cards and dumper, I'm the use case that i just don't want to have to carry a bunch of cards with me, thanks for the video
🐸🐸🐸
If you love games of nintendo, you shoud buy physical one when you buy pirates, only chinese get money your favorite game cant be developed by nintendo without profits do not use this
I have the mini as well. Imo the mini is only for people where pocketability and small size is the most important thing to you. Otherwise if you're not planning to pocket carry the device everywhere. I would suggest grabbing the retroid pocket 5 for $20 more Me personally lives in a city where I ride aot of public trans and ubers. I love the mini because I can hold it in my front pocket. It's basically like carrying 2 galaxy s24s in there. It basically goes everywhere with me right now
Can you play games "without" the dumper? As in pirating? Without a hacked Switch.
I’m sure there’s workarounds, but given that there’s rumor and discussing about being banned even with legitimate dumps, is it worth the risk? If you’re planning on using your switch 100% offline permanently, then sure I’m sure there’s a way to! Thanks for watching! 😊
I was thinking of buying it instead of the Japanese games but I decided not to buy it incase I got scammed. I instead got the actual original games from Japan the super robot wars games. I will get the other games later I also want to get some other Japanese exclusives like sd gundam g generations for the Nintendo switch.
The lengths this company will go through to fuck you out of a sale, and not ship it, is insane. They are actually responding on an unshipped order and have stalled a refund for 4 weeks. Must be a beta male making these in a garage. They don't even have $100 to their name. Do not order from these con artists.
I wish it had a edge to edge screen with same size
There’s no bezels! It’s a great 4:3 screen! Thanks for watching! 😊
The screen and the analog sticks ate quite off putting tbh
Done with Nintendo they won’t release all Pokémon games plus can’t use this or used f this s
If flipper zero was a handheld.
“Get subscribed and let’s get started.” Aight, bet. Also, *FIRST.*
You're not alone. Personally I think it's a hideous color combination
the all black one looks so good tough
🤮 😂
Appearance is one of my priority when choosing any handheld device. I don't mind having to to take a grip along and put it on when using the device. The pleasing aesthetic makes me want to pick it up to game more.
Are you at all into modding devices? Smth like the miyoo mini with a ridiculously expensive metal case upgrade looks so good. Might help you get the looks that make you play and the hardware to be able to do anything
I had a Steam Deck, and got rid of it after finding out about the ROG Ally X. The Ally X is everything I was hoping the Deck would be, and then some. Especially since it has VRR, which the Deck lacked, as well as being able to play games from on Gamepass, buy games from other stores such as GOG Galaxy, the Xbox store, and the Epic store. The Ally X is the best handheld PC on the market in my opinion, and I can't wait for the next iteration to drop.
