TBH people are making too much deal about the screen tearing, but it might be due to the fact that i'm not butt hurt that much about it.... i have it for a week now and only seen screen tearing 2 times. The only issues i have with it is software-based which no one mentions, sometimes the games might crash or not load but its super rare. And the other problem with it is that the speaker makes weird noises when there is no music being played, but if you lower down the volume than you won't hear it much, since the music covers it completely. All in all, to save everyone's time i will advise this: "If you are going for good design, build quality and games that don't require much performance(Zelda, Mario, etc) go for Pocket go. But if you want to play more performance heavy games go for LDK horizontal (+-60 dollars), or go for emulators above 100 dollars". Tbh people i would choose Bittboy just because the price is such a good bargain, the extra buttons look very nice and that sd card reader is a good touch+ it looks way more presentable to friends since you have that glass screen cover and well shaped design. Have a good one everyone, hope i helped you with your choice! ^^
5:28 Don't worry Izzy, you didn't lose it as it doesn't come with TV out cables. I just received mine, and the only cable it comes with is the USB charging cable.
Oh God, I'm very happy! I got watching this complete video and I understand everything I said. Thx Izzy, your videos are a hope for students in English
I ordered one of these a few days ago for my birthday next week and I am so excited. Cannot wait to relive my childhood. I will update this comment with my opinion when I receive the PocketGo.
I'm waiting for it too. Can't really decide which one to get. The LDK seems like a better performer with a better screen, but this pocketgo looks so much better, is more portable, has a glass over the screen (does the LDK have a plastic screen).
Ted Edwards I got one clear horizontal, and they will ship a glass screen protector... But they're taking time to do so, it's been a week and they didn't ship it yet, retromimi.
Now that I checked aliexpress, they do ship those with a tempered glass protector. The clear one looks nice i must say but I still think the pocketgo looks more comfortable to hold because those curved edges. And overall it just looks more premium than the LDK boxy case that looks like something straight out of a 3D printer. I’m not saying the LDK looks overly cheap or bad quality by any means. It just does not have that nintendo-feel. The pocketgo seems to have some of it.
@@holtikultura911 LDK has the same firmware also the community has developed '' Retro FW '' which makes the device even more customizable and is free to install anddd the LDK is waaaayyyy stronger so it can emulate up to ps1 so mega drive, sega master system exc is possible with 0 lag and 0 frameskip TL;DR: The LDK both landscape and horizontal is much better than any of the LDK's ever.
it wasn't just the asian market that had coloured buttons, europe did too and we called it super nintendo or SNES. america is the odd one out, so its weird when people call the coloured buttons "super famicom"
@Eric Pope yea I hate waiting to stuff to come in the mail. I bought a god of war edition psp 2000 from a Japanese seller and I had to wait 30 days after purchasing for them to ship it. Im just glad it was in great condition because those things can be chipped very easily.
I must say that this device emulate the ps1 nicely 😎 slow pace games or games that doesnt require much character on screen such as mortal kombat 4 perform nicely
@@DKC_Returns well i find most games perform best when turning off frame skip dino crisis is perfect =) this guy just to afraid to test this device limit
Got mine in the mail yesterday! My main focus for using the PocketGo was for playing SNES, NES, GENESIS and GBA games. What I discovered so far. GENESIS, GBA and Atari 2600 roms work flawlessly and the games are automatically in a 4:3 aspect ratio screen! NES and SNES work but doesn't run as smoothly. NES and SNES roms have minor sound glitches and a small bit of frame skipping.The PocketGo plays mp3 and wav. very well. It plays mp4, avi and mkv with several glitches (it could use a better video player). Nice feature in which you could load movies or mp4s onto this handheld, just which it worked properly! The handheld will remind you of the GBA micro but an improved version with a slightly larger viewscreen, an SNES gamepad button layout which gives you 2 extra buttons, the ability to play mp3s and wav files and the ability to play other retro game consoles such as the GENESIS. Also, the build quality for this handheld is top notch! It has a bit of weigh for it's compact size, doesn't seem cheaply made at all. I've tried to use a different SD card with my own roms loaded. A 64GB Samsung, but has been unsuccessful with getting my SD card to work onto the PocketGo. We will need tutorials on how to load our own games as well as emulators on SD cards and what card capacity to use. Regardless of the issues, I'm glad I got this! I used to have a GBA micro several years ago and regret getting rid of it. Again, this PocketGo does play GBA, Atari 2600 and GENESIS games smoothly and flawlessly. Atari 2600 and mp3s was not in my original plans for my PocketGo, but I just happened to try them and to my surprise it works well! I was also hoping for all games to be in 4:3 aspect ratio and it is for the PocketGo! Most retro handhelds today don't have the 4:3 aspect ratio and the game screen is often stretched. A stretched screen is a problem, especially for billiards games because the balls are not perfectly round and are smashed. I'm only hoping, this device will get a better video player as well as an improved updated NES and SNES game emulator. Also, hope the creators for this handheld or someone else will develop a hard carrying case for this.
I can confirm the light leak on my unit too. It's not super bad, but it's distracting. I find the launcher a bit clunky with inconsistent button use between emulators, but that's to be expected for something that was cobbled together from assorted linux packages. Playing Megadrive games on it seems to be the sweet spot for performance. They work flawlessly and you finally have enough buttons to make that work.
Definitely would love to see a more in-depth comparison video to the PSP Go. I have a Go myself but I’ve always got my eyes open for cool ways to emulate.
Just went and bought one. I have a GPD xD Plus per your recommendation as well, but sometimes even that size of device isn't practical enough to carry around. This is definitely a more affordable way to play retro handheld emulation especially if you don't already have a PSP or the GPD.
try drawing a frame just outside of the camera viewing area. that way, you don't have to look through the monitor. i had to do it once for an art project. helped me not make mistakes while filming(especially with an exacto blade...). it was for a different situation but it should still work
I'm more intrigued by the built-in copy of DOSBox than anything else. Does the top button bring up a Steam Input-style setup where you can bind every button to any key or mouse control imaginable so you can actually _play_ DOS games? And, the million dollar question: CAN IT PLAY DOOM.
Hey Izzy I notice you mention the light bleed issue, take the faceplate off and adjust the little black rubber flaps on the sides of the screen to fix it, its just where they didnt apply the faceplate evenly.
Just got a GB Micro 20th edition! All my childhood gba games still work and have their saves too! But also emulate everything on my s10+... supposedly going to have Morrowind soon lol
It would have been nice to see each system emulated on it such as SNES - curious to see how my fav SNES games run on it such as Turtles in Time or the Super Star Wars series.
Have you tried the GPD Win 2? That thing is a beast for emulation. It can even run GameCube games through Dolphin at a playable framerate. It's expensive as fuck, though.
I was able to configure my SAMSUNG 64GB micro SD card for my PocketGo. I still don't regret buying this little handheld! Several months before buying the PocketGo, I purchased the Sega Ultimate Portable Game Player (handheld console similar to the PocketGo). I have to say that the PocketGo runs GENESIS roms much more smoothly than the Sega Ultimate Portable Player. To give an updated to my previous PocketGo update. The PocketGo runs GENESIS, GBA (and all other Gameboy games), NES, Atari 2600, MAME, NEO GEO and LYNX well. On the otherhand, Playstation and SNES is a NO GO for the PocketGo. You can run Playstation and SNES on the PocketGo, but there are too many glitches to actually enjoy it. The same for MP4s, they don't run well. Mp3s run great on the PocketGo. So I'll just say that SNES, Playstation and Mp4s do not work for the PocketGo at this time. Who knows, there may be a firmware version that will fix all of this in the future. As for now, I didn't bother with adding SNES, Playstation and Mp4s to my PocketGo. What I do have for sure is the entire game library of the GBA, GENESIS, Atari 2600, and NES. I also have lots of Mp3s in specific folders added to my PocketGo. Those 5 things I mainly run on my PocketGo and they run well! I love word games, so I play GBA's Bookworm, Scrabble Blast, Scrabble Junior and Family Feud. Frank Thomas: Big Hurt Baseball, Minnesota Fats: Pool Legend, Pac-Mania and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine are four GENESIS games I mainly play. From the NES, I like to play Lunar Pool. From Atari 2600 I like to play Berzerk, Dark Cavern and Pac-Man 2600. Those are just some among many of the games I like to play.
I bought a GBA because THPS 2 came out on it. I remember coming home from walmart with that thing (translucent blue) and tony hawk and it blew my freaking mind. I couldn't believe that sort of 3d gameplay was possible on a handheld device. Coming from the gameboy color, it was mind blowing.
Ordered mine about a month ago for only $34.99 from retromimi.com (they have raised the price since then and will probably continue to do so). Just now took a stroll to my mailbox ~ it has finally arrived! This is about the third video review I've seen since it came out. What a wonderful age we live in, gaming-wise. Good stuff!!!
I'd be interested to see a comparison with this and the RS-97. I have one with custom firmware with looks very similar to the bitboy. I feel the build quality on the bit boys is better though from the videos I've seen.
PSP Go would be a more powerful option, but the price is definitely more expensive. Unless you are specifically wanting PSP/PS1 emulation, this product should fit your needs greatly for the price.
@@forrestthacker3922 haha I'm more in the camp of "I've already got the psp go... Do I really need this...? It looks cool and I want it but.... Do I really need it?"
@@forrestthacker3922 yeah, that's fair. I've also got the ps vita... Thanks for saving me some money! I really want it for the novelty factor too... But alas, the psp go is sufficient in fulfilling my needs.
@@chigyver I also have a PSP Go here and am thinking about getting one just because of the worry free factor about carrying it arround EVERYWHERE. I would feel sad if my PSP Go got robbed, damaged or something, as this thingy it's quite a hassle to find used in pristine condition as mine is. Also, it charges with a regular USB and not that proprietary Sony charger, that's a plus to carry arround!
Mine whines too - you can hear it when wearing headphones. Interestingly when you do have headphones plugged in, the volume wheel doesn't work, you have to turn it up and down the BittBoy way.
Did you have to upload all the games you wanted onto the pocket go? Because I looked on the website and it says that it doesn’t come with any preloaded games
I see a lot of people make comments about screen tearing, but I mean, its easy to complain about that when you can rewind a video and watch it 10 times to see everything wrong with it. But as long as the screen tearing isn't worse than the New Bittboy, then you wont notice it when you're actually playing it, and even if you do, you won't notice it 3 hours later when you are use to it.
Battery life details would be nice. I plan to get one of these regardless but I'm curious if I should bother bringing an external battery with me in my purse.
Can't wait either. LDK has a dual core CPU, but the Pocket Go has a single core with a higher frequency. In theory, these games SHOULD run better on a higher frequency single core... but we will see.
oldtwins na It doesn’t. Some say that the PocketGo and Bittboy V3.5 have better quality screens considering color, brightness and sharpness, but the tearing is so bad in some games that the decrease in quality on LDK screens are totally acceptable.
@@KirboWurbo i said wrong item arrived and put sent Them Pictures of the parcell with random tech items with same weight, got my Money Back and kept it
Just wanted to see you run snes emulation!! We all know it will do gameboy, gameboy color and gameboy advance. We all want good portable SNES emulation from this device!!
I woke up and checked the tracking and it was right in my mailbox so great day already. It’s so much fun and I only played Mario Kart lol. Feels a bit heavier than Bitt Boy so I like the feel of it. Glad it came with Roms too even though I had a folder ready to go on the memory card.
You can get a used PSP Go for $68 and some change so its pretty cheap. Also is still just suggest your phone and the IPEGA Red Knight as a portable emulation source.
I received my unit today. It has a fine shape and a raisonable build quality for a 40 bucks device, but It has screen tearing, that turns games like sonic or fzero nearly unplayable. It's a shame that a device with several revisions still having this issue.
We need a 1 to 1 vs the new LDK landscape. The LDK is a dual core and the Pocket Go is a single core, but with a higher frequency. We must have general per console performance test. I am not expecting metrics like a tech youtuber, but we need to know what consoles play better on which handhelds. I suspect GBA runs as good or better on the pocket go, but playstation MAY run a little bit better on the LDK. I would love to see a handheld under $70 play playstation... but I suppose we may be stuck with running ps1 on the GPD or on a cellphone... which BTW cellphone emulation is great. Izzy has a great video of that on this channel.
I've just bought 10 of these with a new AliExpress account with the 50% off voucher got the 10 for under $140 😁 quids in come Christmas when time to sell on
One thing I would like to see is first if it can play that newly released fan-generated TMNT rescue-palooza that is an OpenBOR based game. As well as how to extract the .pak file for it to the sd card for that handheld to play (instructional video)
Final Fantasy Origins, Anthology, Tacticts, IV, Alundra and Legend of Mana run fine-ish. Suikoden 2 has some slowdowns during fights, same for vandal hearts and wild arms. I find Breath of Fire 3 to be simply unplayable. But I'm a picky guy, they all perform better than tony hawk 2. That's all I tried. Most of the above run just fine on the LDK, probably due to the 128Mb RAM compared to the Pocket Go's 32Mb.
Would it be a way to load newer stuff into this system? It'd be awesome if you could add Gato Roboto, Shovel Knight, Axiom Verge, games like those to it!
@Izzy Nobre Vale a pena pegar 3 vezes mais no GDP XD só para jogar psx, n64 e dreamcast? Ou o pocketgo é o the best em se tratando de emulação portátil?
did this ship from China, ordered mine over 10 days ago still haven't received it. also what was included on the 8gig sd card, thx for all the great content over the years.
There are some internet pages with Roms like wowroms.com there are many others. Or you can just type in the name of the game you want and Rom and your language behind it and there will pop up some internet pages with it you have to try a few but it’s pretty easy then click on download let it download and with the pocket go there is a USB stick where you put your sd card and plug the stick in your computer and then you can just put your game data’s into the different folders like Game Boy Advance snes nes…

All the Bittboys have this terrible horizontal screen tearing, which is why I'm sticking with my LDK.
It's worse than you think. That screen tearing is happening because you are sending a 60hz signal to a 30hz display.

You can run Playstation and SNES on the PocketGo, but there are too many glitches to actually enjoy it. The same for MP4s, they don't run well. Mp3s run great on the PocketGo. So I'll just say that SNES, Playstation and Mp4s do not work for the PocketGo at this time. Who knows, there may be a firmware version that will fix all of this in the future. As for now, I didn't bother with adding SNES, Playstation and Mp4s to my PocketGo. What I do have for sure is the entire game library of the GBA, GENESIS, Atari 2600, and NES. I also have lots of Mp3s in specific folders added to my PocketGo. Those 5 things I mainly run on my PocketGo and they run well! I love word games, so I play GBA's Bookworm, Scrabble Blast, Scrabble Junior and Family Feud. Frank Thomas: Big Hurt Baseball, Minnesota Fats: Pool Legend, Pac-Mania and Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine are four GENESIS games I mainly play. From the NES, I like to play Lunar Pool. From Atari 2600 I like to play Berzerk, Dark Cavern and Pac-Man 2600. Those are just some among many of the games I like to play.
I bought a GBA because THPS 2 came out on it. I remember coming home from walmart with that thing (translucent blue) and tony hawk and it blew my freaking mind. I couldn't believe that sort of 3d gameplay was possible on a handheld device. Coming from the gameboy color, it was mind blowing.
Ordered mine about a month ago for only $34.99 from retromimi.com (they have raised the price since then and will probably continue to do so). Just now took a stroll to my mailbox ~ it has finally arrived! This is about the third video review I've seen since it came out. What a wonderful age we live in, gaming-wise. Good stuff!!!
I ordered mine June 25th from same vendor. How long did it take for yours to arrive? No shipping info or anything. 😕
I'd be interested to see a comparison with this and the RS-97. I have one with custom firmware with looks very similar to the bitboy. I feel the build quality on the bit boys is better though from the videos I've seen.
Would the PSP Go be a better option in terms of emulation in one small device?
PSP Go would be a more powerful option, but the price is definitely more expensive. Unless you are specifically wanting PSP/PS1 emulation, this product should fit your needs greatly for the price.
@@forrestthacker3922 haha I'm more in the camp of "I've already got the psp go... Do I really need this...? It looks cool and I want it but.... Do I really need it?"
Probably not, but it'll definitely get me through boring spots at work when it isn't practical to whip out my Switch or GPD
@@forrestthacker3922 yeah, that's fair. I've also got the ps vita... Thanks for saving me some money! I really want it for the novelty factor too... But alas, the psp go is sufficient in fulfilling my needs.
@@chigyver I also have a PSP Go here and am thinking about getting one just because of the worry free factor about carrying it arround EVERYWHERE.
I would feel sad if my PSP Go got robbed, damaged or something, as this thingy it's quite a hassle to find used in pristine condition as mine is.
Also, it charges with a regular USB and not that proprietary Sony charger, that's a plus to carry arround!
Mine whines too - you can hear it when wearing headphones. Interestingly when you do have headphones plugged in, the volume wheel doesn't work, you have to turn it up and down the BittBoy way.
Did you have to upload all the games you wanted onto the pocket go? Because I looked on the website and it says that it doesn’t come with any preloaded games
Looks nice, but to be perfect it needs a cartridge slot, and a Link Cable port.
I see a lot of people make comments about screen tearing, but I mean, its easy to complain about that when you can rewind a video and watch it 10 times to see everything wrong with it.
But as long as the screen tearing isn't worse than the New Bittboy, then you wont notice it when you're actually playing it, and even if you do, you won't notice it 3 hours later when you are use to it.
Can it link trade in pokemon games too? Like the myboy emulator
Battery life details would be nice. I plan to get one of these regardless but I'm curious if I should bother bringing an external battery with me in my purse.
Can´t wait for the comparison: PocketGo X LDK! 🤪
Can't wait either. LDK has a dual core CPU, but the Pocket Go has a single core with a higher frequency. In theory, these games SHOULD run better on a higher frequency single core... but we will see.
And there is a new LDK version now! LDK HORIZONTAL, the same form factor than pocket go.
Build quality on the PocketGo seems better, but I would definitely choose a powerful CPU and no screen tearing over that.
@@feliperas So the LDK doesn't have screen tearing?
oldtwins na It doesn’t. Some say that the PocketGo and Bittboy V3.5 have better quality screens considering color, brightness and sharpness, but the tearing is so bad in some games that the decrease in quality on LDK screens are totally acceptable.
Can L & R be used at the same time? Like DK King of Swing on gba?
such a good game
Sucks this came out right when I am saving to build a PC lol.
AlphaMax buy on aliexpress and refund it lol

My ONLY question is, do I need to do save states or can I just save within the game? That's what keeping me on the fence.
Savestate on GB , savegame in gba
@@mikkaheintz9173 savestate also in GBA
Is there a similar “less-expensive” portable that can emulate and has HDMI port?
if you have more than 30fps on PSX just put the frameskip to 1, you propably would have smooth image and good speed.
I got the Bittboy V3, loved it, so I ordered the Pocketgo.
Mainly so I could use them L and R buttons for ps1 and SNES.
Just wanted to see you run snes emulation!! We all know it will do gameboy, gameboy color and gameboy advance. We all want good portable SNES emulation from this device!!
I woke up and checked the tracking and it was right in my mailbox so great day already. It’s so much fun and I only played Mario Kart lol. Feels a bit heavier than Bitt Boy so I like the feel of it. Glad it came with Roms too even though I had a folder ready to go on the memory card.
You can get a used PSP Go for $68 and some change so its pretty cheap. Also is still just suggest your phone and the IPEGA Red Knight as a portable emulation source.
Oi Izzy... Faz a análise em português comparando ele com o bittboy e qual comprar, tô afim de um...
Bro, I've been dying to see you make this
Scream tearing issue is avoidable though. The 1.13 firmware fixes it.
I received my unit today. It has a fine shape and a raisonable build quality for a 40 bucks device, but It has screen tearing, that turns games like sonic or fzero nearly unplayable. It's a shame that a device with several revisions still having this issue.
I got this a few weeks back. My preinstalled games all disappeared
We need a 1 to 1 vs the new LDK landscape.
The LDK is a dual core and the Pocket Go is a single core, but with a higher frequency.
We must have general per console performance test. I am not expecting metrics like a tech youtuber, but we need to know what consoles play better on which handhelds.
I suspect GBA runs as good or better on the pocket go, but playstation MAY run a little bit better on the LDK.
I would love to see a handheld under $70 play playstation... but I suppose we may be stuck with running ps1 on the GPD or on a cellphone... which BTW cellphone emulation is great. Izzy has a great video of that on this channel.
I've just bought 10 of these with a new AliExpress account with the 50% off voucher got the 10 for under $140 😁 quids in come Christmas when time to sell on
Got mine and it has so much screen tear it's basically worthless. Go get an RS-97 and put CFW on it. Way nicer experience.
Are there settings to speed up gba emulators when playing games like Pokémon??
Now I want that for my b-day🎉
What about the LDK landscape? How does It stack up?
One thing I would like to see is first if it can play that newly released fan-generated TMNT rescue-palooza that is an OpenBOR based game. As well as how to extract the .pak file for it to the sd card for that handheld to play (instructional video)
My Mom has finally bought me my very own Pocketgo!!!
Será que já esta vendendo no Brasil o pocket go ?
Could you do some PS1 rpgs, curious if those fair a bit better considering some don't use a ton of 3d
Final Fantasy Origins, Anthology, Tacticts, IV, Alundra and Legend of Mana run fine-ish. Suikoden 2 has some slowdowns during fights, same for vandal hearts and wild arms. I find Breath of Fire 3 to be simply unplayable. But I'm a picky guy, they all perform better than tony hawk 2. That's all I tried. Most of the above run just fine on the LDK, probably due to the 128Mb RAM compared to the Pocket Go's 32Mb.
At least it can run doom. I hope there is a bigger version.
Please review the MOQI i7s! A great GPD XD contender. Love from Philippines. ♥
I prefer the size of the Revo over the PocketGo. I want a bigger screen, but not as big as a tablet.
I don't see how a 30hz screen with loads of tearing can be even remotely close to perfect..
the tearing isnt that bad..
@@charbound the fact that its tearing at all is horrendous
Would it be a way to load newer stuff into this system? It'd be awesome if you could add Gato Roboto, Shovel Knight, Axiom Verge, games like those to it!
Wish it was wider and had no screen tear, larger SD out of the box.
Is the screen tearing as bad as it was on the bittboy? That was a deal breaker for me.
How would you get the ROMs on a SD card from your phone
Hi Izzy. Is there still “shimmering” in the Pokémon games? How’s the performance compared to the new bittboy?
@Izzy Nobre Vale a pena pegar 3 vezes mais no GDP XD só para jogar psx, n64 e dreamcast? Ou o pocketgo é o the best em se tratando de emulação portátil?
did this ship from China, ordered mine over 10 days ago still haven't received it. also what was included on the 8gig sd card, thx for all the great content over the years.
Do a follow up doing 30 seconds gameplays of each emulator, and test all the 2D Metroids on this thing(?
I just got one. It does have some amazing games in it. My question is where can I go to download other games?
There are some internet pages with Roms like wowroms.com there are many others. Or you can just type in the name of the game you want and Rom and your language behind it and there will pop up some internet pages with it you have to try a few but it’s pretty easy then click on download let it download and with the pocket go there is a USB stick where you put your sd card and plug the stick in your computer and then you can just put your game data’s into the different folders like Game Boy Advance snes nes…
Can you save your progress in the games? If so I'm buying this.
