Ok fun story: when I was young I actually had the PSP knockoff 2. We were broke as fuck and my parents couldn’t afford a PSP at the time. This was 2011. I got mine under the brand name “JCV”. That knockoff hasn’t changed a single bit in over a decade, down to the menus and all. Amazing. Got made fun of at school. Didn’t fucking care a bit tho, I loved that thing to death. All I cared about was the fact that mine had Contra, Super Mario Bros., and Pokémon Red. Didn’t drop frames. EDIT: Mine had a camera. 0.1mp VGA camera.
@@Mahcarvė somehow my knockoff really had some things going for it. It had a web browser, but no way at all to connect to the Internet. It would render web pages that you saved locally. I had Pokémon info stored, like a Pokédex. Fun times lol.
That's insane, it was the exact same for me also in 2011 but while we were poor my parents bought it thinking it was a cheap psp, I would always plug it in my TV and play scooby doo mystery mayhem for gba.
Lol, I got the same knockoff as well off of a shop in Delhi, and it's still going great so far, especially since I got it back in 2016. All the games you mentioned are present, and then some. the camera is also there, then there's a music player. For a knockoff, it was quite awesome ngl. Not that I cannot afford a proper console now, but having a PC where you can just run a PSP emulator makes it pointless (for me at least).
Blue PSP cartridges are fake! You can see that there are only two traces going from the cartridge slot, meaning the cartridges only act like switches to switch to a different internal cartridge bank.
I'm saying this not as a negative commentary, but I damn love to fall sleep with your videos. It's in a very thin line of I kinda care about what you are saying but not really yet it calms me down and soothes me away into my dreams
Seconded! I know it’s such a weird compliment for a creator to hear, but he’s definitely making my life better with his content, just in a different way than expected lol
I watch his videos several times because of that. At first I watch them to go to sleep, then rewatch (now paying attention) when I'm awake. I've probably seen his XP related videos at least 5 times each.
That Sonic game is a hack of an infamous port of Sonic to the Famicom called "SoMari". The original had Sonic levels and gameplay, but a Mario sprite instead of Sonic for some reason. Someone hacked it to be just Sonic instead.
Didn't it also have a plot in the final level where Mario saves a bunch of Sonics trapped in cages which ends with a super campy message about how much Mario and Sonic love each other now that "they're best friends"? Or was that another "Mario-in-Sonic" style rom hack? Edit: So, my memory is really dumb. It's not SoMari, but "Sonic the Hedgehog 4" for the SNES. Also, the roles are reversed. Sonic has to save the caged Marios. Also they're described as "good friends forever" that "nobody can separate".... .... and I forgot that the last part was "Sonic LOVES Nintendo. Mario LOVES SEGA." I remembered it vaguely enough to capture its craziness at least, right? XD
@mjdxp5688 SoMari was considered to be the one of the worst of so-called "pirated" games for the NES. As you've mentioned, a dedicated fan had hacked the game to make it a feasible demake of Sonic 1, and since then, it had gotten updates to where it looks so damn good. Unfortunately, due to the state of limitations of NES hardware, the controls _still remain wonky_ to this day.
Why did the blue PSP knockoff use a pixel-accurate-moveable cursor in so many places instead of using the arrow buttons to switch a highlight to the next button in that direction?!?
@@Unpredictable_Fennec The cardridges are in this case basically a removable part of the device, not really an add-on. And it's more tedious to use if you actually have to aim that cursor instead of knowing that one press will bring you one space over in the chosen direction.

This makes me remember of when my parents bought me a handheld knockoff which had actually hundreds of games (they had their own ones actually). I used to play with it until I wanted to look what's inside annnnd... I broke it! Didn't work since that day. I still miss the music it played when I turned on the console
Honestly from a hardware perspective it’s impressive at the price point. If the Roms were customizable I’d create my own NES game for my portfolio and hand these out like business cards.
While Battle City was released only in Japan, it often was bundled with pirated Famicom clones, it was actually one of the most popular games in post Soviet countries. Just a small bit of trivia for you
The X6 game file list repeats with many duplicates, there definitely are not 11,210 games on there. I've heard that it is possible to fix the system to play games properly as the hardware is actually up to the task, it's their terrible software that isn't doing it properly.
Yeah I am sure there is a firmware update at the very least, if not a community fix if there is a big enough community for it like the Datafrog machines have.
just a little mention at 27:20 the gba micro knockoff probably was running a NOAC (Nes on a chip) instead of emulating in sottware like the psp knockoff

for some reason that battery is widely used nowadays in cheap electronics, i got a potable speaker and a palm sized keyboard that use it, they don't have the nokia logo but they kept the model number as the name of the brand
The fact that the label for "classic games" seems to be stretched out King of Fighters characters, without a single KoF game being on the actual cartridge, is really just. peak. 10/10
Most interesting to me is that the performance issues with the X6 seem to suggest it's got some background tasks that are interrupting the foreground emulator, rather than an issue with the hardware keeping up with emulation, as it seems to have the same problems regardless of if it's a SNES, GBA, or NES game. I wonder what it is doing?

I genuinely don't understand why anyone would buy these. Not even a small child would find these fun in the slightest. Classic games can be a lot of fun if they're not poorly hacked and stuck into a cheap plastic container with the sound quality of a watch beeper.
You should look inside the GAMPLAE cartridges. I had a PSP-shaped thing that emulates Genesis games and it came with a single cartridge shaped the same as the GAMPLAE ones. I looked inside the cartridge and it was just a tiny PCB that connects 2 pins of the cartridge slot -- rather than a pluggable ROM it was just a switch that activates more stuff stored on the internal chip. That made me wonder if there were any cartridges for it that I didn't have, so I looked at the PCB and saw what connector pins went to anything, and if I recall I found / "created" one additional cartridge by putting a wire between a different pair of pins.
Okay I gotta know.... What processor does that 33 dollar handheld use? Doesn't seem very powerful given how it runs NES games, but I assume that's due to inefficient coding. So what kind of processor does it use? Is it 16 bit or 32? Is it one of those 32 bit RISC processors? Because I wanna know if they still make those!
0:00 Why you gotta say it like "Yep, it's time for *another* one of these videos.💀" when I'm like "yay, it's time for another one of *these* videos! 😁" I love watching people open cheap crap shipped all the way from China that I don't have the patience or attention span to wait for myself.
1:40 they were like: "Ah it's fine! Who needs that many screenshots? Spoiled people!?" Which sort of makes sense because they want you to figure out what those games are yourself!😂
I used to have the second fake PSP knockoff as a kid. I remember there being multiple versions when I tried to buy it again, mine likely was a fairly good model since I never had any lag when playing with it (and it had the camera was terrible for even standards back then). You still couldnt customize the games on the homescreen, but you could change the wallpaper 😅
Another thing I just remembered was that the TV output was black and white only. I thought it was broken but after searching online it seemed like that was the norm for knockoffs like that.
With consoles like the X6, which is a PowKiddy J6 clone apparently, i would always check first if there is a custom firmware for them. Better pay a tenner more for a handheld that receives updates by the community than being stuck with the most times horrible stock firmware.
the last handheld you showcased actually has a ton of revisions, i have one that was designed to look like a nintnedo switch, it uses an almost identical ui and branding, yours is the x6 and mine is the x19
When you were going through the bandicoot settings menu on the X6, one of the options was full screen. Like FS? You can window it? On that. Also the menu format / structure reminds me a lot of RetroArch meets 2000s media player.

"6-7 hours of play time." Not like, before the battery runs out, but like, in total hours of entertainment you'll get out of it.

DONT GO TO SLEEP YET. Michael MJD has uploaded a new video.!!!
REJECT TEMU, EMBRACE ALIEXPRESS!!!
don’t they source from the same factoriess
Reject humanity , embrace monke -gtag creator, lemming
@@schwajtemu&co are filled with stolen aliexpress listings (among other sites)
aliexpress has a lot of actual individual shops as opposed to "nebulously sourced dropshipping", it just happens that it's chinese
ultimately most of them are bulk ordered from taobao or alibaba, but aliexpress is more likely to have stuff from the manufacturers directly where they have a storefront on either site (not sure if im making sense, it's 3am here)
Both can be shit
@@schwaj most likely, yeah. i mostly wrote this as a meme, i hate all china garbage webshops tbh
I like the paperclip (from the old Office versions) you've got on your table.
You should also get Rover, the "Windows XP help dog" :)
I bet the screen on that knockoff GBA Micro is better than the official screen on the Micro.
I guess you could say it’s a Fake Boy Micro…
Im rolling on the floor right now

"Test file, please delete after testing."
Oh my.... :D
0:36 Ive seen these on actual store shelves where i live briefly
not just japan, we also had battle city here in brazil and even brazillian zoomers know it
One of the best demo videos I've seen 👍 interesting and entertaining. I've never bought off of TEMU, but I've heard about some stuff they sell, they make the products look nice but then when you try to play them, that's where they get you. 😂

John 3:16-21
16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God.
Mark 1.15
15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.
Hebrews 11:6
6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
Jesus
Yess!! New Video!
Quality Content 💯
I genuinely don't understand why anyone would buy these. Not even a small child would find these fun in the slightest. Classic games can be a lot of fun if they're not poorly hacked and stuck into a cheap plastic container with the sound quality of a watch beeper.
I think 7+2=9, isn't the name of the cartridge, but just part of the background image!
New MJD video :D
The sad onion makes an appearance on the back of the box 😄
You should look inside the GAMPLAE cartridges. I had a PSP-shaped thing that emulates Genesis games and it came with a single cartridge shaped the same as the GAMPLAE ones. I looked inside the cartridge and it was just a tiny PCB that connects 2 pins of the cartridge slot -- rather than a pluggable ROM it was just a switch that activates more stuff stored on the internal chip. That made me wonder if there were any cartridges for it that I didn't have, so I looked at the PCB and saw what connector pins went to anything, and if I recall I found / "created" one additional cartridge by putting a wire between a different pair of pins.

8:03 I just love their use of the word "exquisite" like it doesnt look like a McDonald's toy
Man i really liked this video it was really good keep up the good work
I love how at the beginning, he drops everything and it looks like clippy is scared!🤣
Okay I gotta know.... What processor does that 33 dollar handheld use? Doesn't seem very powerful given how it runs NES games, but I assume that's due to inefficient coding. So what kind of processor does it use? Is it 16 bit or 32? Is it one of those 32 bit RISC processors? Because I wanna know if they still make those!
0:00 Why you gotta say it like "Yep, it's time for *another* one of these videos.💀" when I'm like "yay, it's time for another one of *these* videos! 😁"
I love watching people open cheap crap shipped all the way from China that I don't have the patience or attention span to wait for myself.

@@Mahanagha Oh, I didn't notice. That's funny.
1:40 they were like:
"Ah it's fine! Who needs that many screenshots? Spoiled people!?"
Which sort of makes sense because they want you to figure out what those games are yourself!😂
I used to have the second fake PSP knockoff as a kid. I remember there being multiple versions when I tried to buy it again, mine likely was a fairly good model since I never had any lag when playing with it (and it had the camera was terrible for even standards back then).
You still couldnt customize the games on the homescreen, but you could change the wallpaper 😅
Another thing I just remembered was that the TV output was black and white only. I thought it was broken but after searching online it seemed like that was the norm for knockoffs like that.
Yeah they've definitely been on the market for a long time.
You can buy a knock off console cheaper than you can buy a console shell replacement. 🥴
8:21 I didn't expect a Nokia phone battery. I thought the marketing team just googled a generic rechargeable battery and stumbled upon that picture.
4:06 Those moments of fun. Glory music while triggering the Game Over screen 🤣

With consoles like the X6, which is a PowKiddy J6 clone apparently, i would always check first if there is a custom firmware for them.
Better pay a tenner more for a handheld that receives updates by the community than being stuck with the most times horrible stock firmware.
Yeah, I always wondered if those knockoff systems can even have custom firmware. It really seems like it's the software that's bad.
The thumbnail is the most accurate thing i have ever seen (for da logo)
23:44 You probably have to highlight a game icon and then press one of the buttons to move the games around.
I appreciate the DankPods “dirty buds” reference 😆
This video just solidified exactly what Temu really is!
these things were the only entertainment i had after bootleg dvds
We are about to witness Michael's headfirst tumble down the retro handheld rabbit hole.
I have the same bootleg PS2 wallet. It's honestly pretty nice it's just big
the last handheld you showcased actually has a ton of revisions, i have one that was designed to look like a nintnedo switch, it uses an almost identical ui and branding, yours is the x6 and mine is the x19
When you were going through the bandicoot settings menu on the X6, one of the options was full screen. Like FS? You can window it? On that. Also the menu format / structure reminds me a lot of RetroArch meets 2000s media player.
That poke Tetris thing seems to be based on the Tengen Tetris on the NES (which is also common multicart sight, usually under the name of Tetris II).
Yay! Just in time for snacks!
DJ MJD! Another one.
Thanks! It feels special to watch your videos before everyone else can.
