    Great review man! I just ordered mine. I went with this option because I felt like it was cheaper and better than buying an arcade 1 up with 1 -3 games on it for $400

    You can turn graphic optimisation off in the settings, which does change the game list a little but takes away that weird colour wash.. Also actually makes some games run smoothly when they don’t with the setting on.. Enjoy that arcade fun everyone!

    For Hardcore arcade gamer like me i would give it 5/10, I need a original game configuration and I dont have one and I do hope I can get to change the game buttons option everytime I am in a game but I cant, I only can change the overrall games buttons....so for hardcore gamers, my advise also buy a joystick and play on emulators on your PC

    • @whoisitgoodfor
      @whoisitgoodfor  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I agree this isn't ideal for hardcore gamers. Odds are a hardcore gamer will have access to most (if not all) of what this provides and likely want more control. From a hardcore gamer perspective if you are looking for something portable and cheap a retropie would likely be more enjoyable.
