i have to disagree on your #2. Because this portable device is still an emulation...because it uses a boot loader in order to boot games from their iso file. This is the same process that PCSX2 uses. Btw PC can run PS2 games just fine at more than 30 fps, i tried many games like Persona 3/4, MGS 3, etc.... The fact you can't run Final Fantasy with stable fps and drops tells you that the portable machine here lacks actual ps2 hardware, emulators generally drop frames because its not well optimized, which seems to be the case here. PCSX2 minimum requires quad core with decent single core processing, so any modern generation of intel/AMD will do just fine. The defragging operation you mention isn't that different than PC emulators, likes PSP emulator. Defragging is basically there to extract the exe boot loader rom file that it needs to boot the game. The only difference here is PCSX2 directly boots from iso file without the need to defrag. Also compatibility is largely dependent on the bios you use. PC emulators allows you to select regional bios to run games for different regions. SCPH0001NA, SCPH0001EU, SCPH0001JPN are examples of variety of bios ps emulators run on.

You suck st dreaming , if the ps vita is had officially died long before you posted this comment , now go to it’s grave and apologized, and pray that the gaming gods forgive your transgressions.
What a great thing to end 2019 with, I remember back in the day seeing people share videos of their portable mods like this but gotta give some praise to a company finally offering it as a reality to the masses that don't have the technical knowledge to make one.
I'm from Brazil and I make these video games around here, of course our currency is different, while the dollar is used around there, here we use the real, but converting one of these to the Brazilian real costs on average $ 280.48, but of course this price is here in Brazil, but when we convert this dollar value to the real it costs the price of a car hahaha
As cool as this is I can't imagine paying that much money for this...especially with that rough design... I get that whoever made it is forsure not a professional but 600 on sale from almost 700 and the design seems like it's barely just slapped together...don't get me wrong, I am impressed at it over all but if it is at 6/700 dollars then it needs to have a better design quality.
That.. that's really not why it's difficult to emulate. Consoles get difficult to emulate because they are purpose designed and programmed, and emulation requires trying to work backwards to get the right build that can mimic the hardware and software involved, as these games were set up and coded specifically to function on this device. N64 can still have emulation issues and it's even "simpler" than a PS2
@@Jah_Coby You make a good point. I don't exactly know the technicalities of Emulation but my praise for the PS2 is a bit ignorant I will admit. Still the console withstands the test of time in my book.
@@CyberVirtual It is fair to say that as a design the PS2 was well done, as it managed quite a bit for what it was. Emulation just tends to be really difficult in general far as that goes.
Why would it become affordable? The R&D and manufacturing costs wouldn't be covered by the market it targets. And the games arent actually monetized. This isnt even legit.

But a Vita can’t do PS2 emulation? I guess you could do remote play with a PS4 but if you want to play PS2 then I’d recommend original hardware or me personally I have a fat PS3 to save space and play through HDMI
@@cheekychunkSR The vita cannot play ps2 games but it still plays psp and ps1 and vita games so that is a replacement. And i already own a ps2 slim but i want something portable.
S L I know! It’s a real shame what Sony did, but it wasn’t only the SD cards fault, The Vita didn’t have a lot of games too, only few of them were really good
@@KOT_AMV Agreed. I don't think too many people outside a small number would've cared they couldn't use SD cards on it,* but It cost me a $100 in 2014 to get a 64GB card for it that's still not large enough to hold all my games. Insane. *you can now, unofficially, but that's besides the point
I will totally get one of these when I have enough money, which will take some time. Why is it that major gaming companies don't care about retro gaming, I mean if a game is great it will still be great 50 years after it was released.
Should've had this design and glossed it up for the vita when the switch came out. If it could play ps3 games and still had the features of the vita (minus the touch screen) they'd be rolling in dough.
If it was $300 USD I would still be hesitant, but the fact that it’s double that cost, and I’m Canadian with a shitty conversion rate means this is a no go.
It would not sell well 600 is way to much , did you just pick a random number out of you're ass? Focus on the present and not 20 years in the past or future..
@@socio637 why are you so triggered by my comment? For me it's just annoying when ppl are super obsessed with what may or may not happen years and years into the future or what could have been years ago in the past, like who cares? Just focus on the present!
@$un$hine🌠 the switch has a lot of indie games it lacks with triple a games considering it's almost 3 year old console, but I'm not gonna lie I don't own one but with the switch of my friend I played zelda botw it was great but we all know that the switch doesn't have much beautiful games like botw. But it's doing great
ultimaye marvel vs capcom is available on the vira persona 4 golden, maybe not devil maycry but its on the switch too i have a switch so nope this sill not worth it for the price. re 4 is also on the switch burnout is availble on the vita via adrenaline psp emulator. there is also a gta libertycity stories native res hack on the vita which looks better than native gta res on ps2. so just buy a switch and ps vita cost same as this one
Despite all the slight imperfections and the general aspects of the system that could use improvement, I think the whole concept of it is incredible. Being able to play *any* PS2 game on the go on a PSvita-esque device with quality performance is amazing, and the impressive craftsmanship that went into making it, in my opinion, makes it worth it's price tag. I'd certainly buy it. Playing Tony Hawk games on a (not) PSvita wherever I am would be a dream come true
@@ThePeacePlant the vita will not ever run ps2 at full speed. Its not powerful enough. I have the xiaomi mi9t pro with the snapdragon 855 chipset and that cant even run ps2 and its one of the fastest chipsets around.
Minino Is hΞrΞ should get a vita and hack it though I’m not sure about ps2 emulations with a hack. You can get decent deals if you buy from Japan on eBay it’ll just take a while to ship
When it works, it works really well. The screen is great, the controls are great, and compatibility is nearly perfect. Unfortunately, they have issues with their build process. The first unit I ordered wouldn't charge. The second wouldn't even power on. It's a shame because there's so much potential in these portables based on original hardware.
??? The hell? Lol it would be no different than getting any other electronic past airport security. You just put it in a box on a conveyor belt, goes through their machine then you pick it up again?
I thought the PSP and PS Vista must have PS2 and PS1 digital download games is that if everyone still has their PSP or PS Vita, that is no problem at all.
The ps vita has a library that carries ps one , psp, ps2 as well as its own ps vita games , Im sure that the selling point of this device is that it gives you the ability to run ISO’s that for the most part aren’t being sold , but is it worth it fuck no, you can get a ps4 pro for this kind of $$$ , how anyone can justify this monstrosity is a joke.
Way too expensive! I'd rather "sacrifice" and just play on my psp, get a switch, or a tablet/laptop with a Bluetooth controller. The price is just laughable imo.
There’s a new ps2 emulator in the pipelines called “Play!”. This emulator will be much more optimised for current hardware as it’s cross platform. Once that emulator gets released, we’ll see A LOT of similar ps2 portable devices at a much more reasonable price.
By new and I meant that’s it’s still in its preliminary stages. I didn’t ever claim that it’s a finished product. But yes perhaps it’ll take 10 years more. But that’s still better than any of the alternatives we have today in terms of long term sustainability. Because again, it’s the only emulator being worked on that’s cross platform and 64-bit. Also, the website is old. The most recent commit to the project was 12 days ago on GitHub. Tl;dr Whether it’s “Play!” or a completely new project. I believe the ps2 needs a new emulator for the sake of preservation, sustainability and accessibility.
@@redrumipod He didn't sell was Sony own fault. They made an stupid ultra expensive exclusive SD card and had no interest into invest in exclusive games to boost sales and motivate multiplataforma game distributors to port games to vita. Died as an powerful machine only receiving indie games.
The Vita was actually a popular platform in Japan, receiving many great games that the Nintendo 3DS couldn't handle. To this day Vita games are still being made. It's too bad the same couldn't be said of the Vita's success in other markets. It's a fantastic handheld. Yeah, Sony messed up on a few things, but it's not like Nintendo never overprices anything.
@@Azevedotk I know right and I remember the first Vita model doesn't even use usb type cable to charge it. Which make things way harder to get and cost quite expensive also they didn't use sdmicro card instead of that Sony exclusive card which cost a ton
@mazrimalthor yes it does seem that you would fail primary school. not being able to do a simple primary school project and all. nothing was mentioned of being tech savy.
Makes me really excited for the future of retro handhelds! I've seen your video to the ZPG handheld! Really nice! The developer should not use Snapdragon 835 for next handheld. Not strong enough. Struggles a lot with GameCube and needs much hacks. He should use Snapdragon 845 or 855 for good performance! Can't wait to buy it good Job Taki!
Yeah made the same point on one of his last videos! I think many wouldn't mind paying extra for a Snapdragon 845 or 855 device! Would pay up to 600 bucks for such a device with an Snapdragon 855 SOC!
I saw a website where some guy made his DIY portable ps2 with a disc reader, everything was compact and tight as hell and the reader took almost all the space in there and it somehow worked.

I love how it was able to fit into a larger PS Vita type body. Very impressive and resourceful use of space here. Come to think of it.. I do wonder if Sony had given it their all, that they could have built a working emulator for PS2 on the Vita. The Vita itself is much more powerful, but the issue is emulation is resource intensive. Though Sony would have known all the ins and outs of actually doing it, if it were possible. It's a shame. Anyone have more insight into if that would be possible from Sony themselves, or is the Vita simply not powerful enough? I've heard a rule of thumb for emulation is something like 50x performance of the original system. Vita is only about 10X, but I assume 50x is needed because devs need to build emulation from the ground up, rather than having insight into the original product like the manufacturer would, if that makes sense..? Am I totally off here?
@@martinschukwuma8947 not really I just think it would be too difficult to make tricky jumps in platformers, find in game items, avoid projectiles etc. RG350 and PlayGo are great devices and I understand they are meant to fit in your pocket so they fill a niche. Would just be cool to have a PSP or Switch sized emulation device that could handle PS1 and N64 and has all the right controls. Phones have wacky aspect ratios like 19:9 and Android has inherent input lag so not an ideal solution either.
I tried focusing on the video. But I can’t. Those buttons are making me insane. I mean common someone built a whole portable PlayStation but couldn’t fix those buttons
I thought the same thing. Something about using 4 alkenize batteries on this really bothers me personally. But I most likely trippin cuz we use the same batteries for vape boxes & even alot of Charger banks too.
The price of 600$ is not justified. If you really want to enjoy the real experience of an PS2, buy an old one (Price range can vary between 25-100$, depends on the model). The project is impressive and I'm happy that people can actually build those kind of things, but clearly it's not worth that much.
LOL same, but if you really wanted to, all it takes is a youtube tutorial. Sometimes all you need is practice with a soldering iron.....and a steady hand RIP. Good thing you don't need the later for changing a car stereo.

Happy New Year, Taki, thank you for your 2019 reviews, see u in 2020! all the best.
Price will probably not go down, since these are hand-made. There are no mass-produced PS2 portable consoles at this moment that could get a price drop, like, say, expensive phones do.

@@xanderriggs4802 sorry I double checked ! I didn't see the 5 XD. My mistake. It's pathetic to be that expensive. With the new raspberry pi or a future version someone will do a PS2 emulator and by my calculations if someone makes this but better it would cost maybe 200? Since custom stuff costs a bit. But either way that's much cheaper
@@xanderriggs4802 I just checked and the new raspberry pi 4 kind of does PS2. But with 3d games it lagged. Maybe the emulator needs updating. Even GameCube games sort of work on the new pi. Either way maybe the best raspberry pi can. And like I said someone could make it and sell it as a console.
I keep coming back to this video, because I just can't believe it actually exists, and no one I tell about it believes me until I show them. I think i've caused 4 more sales of these...
Not my cup of tea at that price point and build, but give it a year, maybe 2 and you're going to see PS2 portables pop up all over the place. It's mind boggling to see this. Just seems like 19 years ago the PS2 launched in America 😏
Nope. It simply won't happen for a very long time, if ever. PS2 takes so much power to emulate. They'll be expensive like this for a very long time since you either need the actual hardware cut down into a smaller form factor (like this) or some crazy powerful mobile hardware, both will be expensive. Don't expect PS2 handhelds to saturate the market. You'll be sorely disappointed.
What the the largest size usb this can take? I really like this, but might wait on that Windows version of the ZPG. Great job Taki and Happy New Year's everyone 😎🎉🎊🎆
First of all, nice pfp, watching the series with my brother and a friend right now The largest drive it'll take is the maximum limit of FAT32, which is 2TB. Whatever you buy it going to work in it.
ive never seen something so janky yet so well made at the same time, this thing is a handheld paradox personally i think instead of cramming all of that into a psp like form factor they could have used a netbook shell, it wouldn't have the controls built in unless they gpd'ed the shit out of it but i think the end product would've looked a lot cleaner

It’s more than that atm , sadly my only though is why would anyone pay this much for a diy nock off when the ps vita is a thing in our reality , and a third of that could get you a decent library of great games , but Sadly i don’t think anyone watching here wants to support the company that blessed them with the console that they claimed to love so much that they would delude themselves into thinking that this device is is worth the ever rising price that this gimmick is going for. Praised be Sony 🤘🏼
@@Kusanagi13 A portable PS2 is not a "diy *k*nock off". It's a mutated PS2. It's also somewhat of a piece of art. A lot of work goes into making these things, too. It's not just some some company going "Yeah let's just shit these things out and throw them on the market because some dumbass will buy them". They're probably not even built until they're ordered. And if they are, they're probably only kept in short supply. Also, the PS Vita can't play PS2 games so saying that's a valid replacement for a portable PS2 isn't really a good argument unless you're arguing with someone who just wants a portable device and doesn't care about playing old games that they were fond of in their childhood.
stinkee2 gonna keep it short , it is a bad diy you may see it as art but it is for all intents and purposes 💩that’s what the execution of this device is , sure the ps vita doesn’t play ps2 so original, luckily I still have a couple of ps2 around the house so I don’t have to settle for 💩 there are plenty of diy that are being produced that are amazing, and this is bottom of the barrel , I’m glad that you like it if you did , for the kind of money that’s being asked for this product you can get a ps4/ps5 have fun justifying that to yourself in the future though I can almost guarantee that for all you’ve defended this gimmick you are not even considering spending your money on it , keep in mind that that’s how you show support not just by disagreeing with strangers online.
Are the batteries wired directly to the PS2 mainboard? without charging protection module? how about the sound? does it has volume wheel/buttons? can you do deeper review of this device?

What a great thing to end 2019 with, I remember back in the day seeing people share videos of their portable mods like this but gotta give some praise to a company finally offering it as a reality to the masses that don't have the technical knowledge to make one.
-me : great! a good portable console
-me: I look at the price
-me : ._.
I'm from Brazil and I make these video games around here, of course our currency is different, while the dollar is used around there, here we use the real, but converting one of these to the Brazilian real costs on average $ 280.48, but of course this price is here in Brazil, but when we convert this dollar value to the real it costs the price of a car hahaha
As cool as this is I can't imagine paying that much money for this...especially with that rough design... I get that whoever made it is forsure not a professional but 600 on sale from almost 700 and the design seems like it's barely just slapped together...don't get me wrong, I am impressed at it over all but if it is at 6/700 dollars then it needs to have a better design quality.
Me at start of the video: hey that looks pretty cool, I actually might want one of those
Me when I see the price: Not for $600

The fact that till this day PS2 games are hard to Emulate is the testament to how well this console holds up.
That.. that's really not why it's difficult to emulate. Consoles get difficult to emulate because they are purpose designed and programmed, and emulation requires trying to work backwards to get the right build that can mimic the hardware and software involved, as these games were set up and coded specifically to function on this device. N64 can still have emulation issues and it's even "simpler" than a PS2
@@Jah_Coby You make a good point. I don't exactly know the technicalities of Emulation but my praise for the PS2 is a bit ignorant I will admit. Still the console withstands the test of time in my book.
@@CyberVirtual It is fair to say that as a design the PS2 was well done, as it managed quite a bit for what it was. Emulation just tends to be really difficult in general far as that goes.

There’s a new ps2 emulator in the pipelines called “Play!”.
This emulator will be much more optimised for current hardware as it’s cross platform.
Once that emulator gets released, we’ll see A LOT of similar ps2 portable devices at a much more reasonable price.
In fact it's been a while that Play! Have been around and for now... It's very far from any playable games.
It's been out for ages and hasn't been updated since 2018. You literally just made up a load of stuff. Why would you make up those things?
By new and I meant that’s it’s still in its preliminary stages. I didn’t ever claim that it’s a finished product.
But yes perhaps it’ll take 10 years more. But that’s still better than any of the alternatives we have today in terms of long term sustainability. Because again, it’s the only emulator being worked on that’s cross platform and 64-bit.
Also, the website is old. The most recent commit to the project was 12 days ago on GitHub.
Tl;dr Whether it’s “Play!” or a completely new project. I believe the ps2 needs a new emulator for the sake of preservation, sustainability and accessibility.
play was a project that got cancelled

Expensive but pretty impressive actually, I'm tempted but a little too expensive at the mo
I love how it was able to fit into a larger PS Vita type body. Very impressive and resourceful use of space here. Come to think of it.. I do wonder if Sony had given it their all, that they could have built a working emulator for PS2 on the Vita. The Vita itself is much more powerful, but the issue is emulation is resource intensive. Though Sony would have known all the ins and outs of actually doing it, if it were possible. It's a shame. Anyone have more insight into if that would be possible from Sony themselves, or is the Vita simply not powerful enough? I've heard a rule of thumb for emulation is something like 50x performance of the original system. Vita is only about 10X, but I assume 50x is needed because devs need to build emulation from the ground up, rather than having insight into the original product like the manufacturer would, if that makes sense..? Am I totally off here?

Nope. It simply won't happen for a very long time, if ever.
PS2 takes so much power to emulate. They'll be expensive like this for a very long time since you either need the actual hardware cut down into a smaller form factor (like this) or some crazy powerful mobile hardware, both will be expensive.

@@theinceptor3672 Not without the source code you can't. Also the homebrew SDK is not exactly suitable for that, last I knew.
@@Kusanagi13 A portable PS2 is not a "diy *k*nock off". It's a mutated PS2. It's also somewhat of a piece of art. A lot of work goes into making these things, too. It's not just some some company going "Yeah let's just shit these things out and throw them on the market because some dumbass will buy them". They're probably not even built until they're ordered. And if they are, they're probably only kept in short supply.
Also, the PS Vita can't play PS2 games so saying that's a valid replacement for a portable PS2 isn't really a good argument unless you're arguing with someone who just wants a portable device and doesn't care about playing old games that they were fond of in their childhood.
stinkee2 gonna keep it short , it is a bad diy you may see it as art but it is for all intents and purposes 💩that’s what the execution of this device is , sure the ps vita doesn’t play ps2 so original, luckily I still have a couple of ps2 around the house so I don’t have to settle for 💩 there are plenty of diy that are being produced that are amazing, and this is bottom of the barrel , I’m glad that you like it if you did , for the kind of money that’s being asked for this product you can get a ps4/ps5 have fun justifying that to yourself in the future though I can almost guarantee that for all you’ve defended this gimmick you are not even considering spending your money on it , keep in mind that that’s how you show support not just by disagreeing with strangers online.
Are the batteries wired directly to the PS2 mainboard? without charging protection module? how about the sound? does it has volume wheel/buttons? can you do deeper review of this device?
Crazy how much tech has progressed in not even 2 years!
The REAL question is ... “Is there a Breath of Fire (all of them) ROM out there???”
Yes, emuparadise
@@eduardnica9156 Emuparadise shut down though?
