Between this and recent handhelds it seems like we're finally getting devices of a decent quality and usability and even for an affordable price. For years it seemed every device under $150 had at least one major flaw. Whether it was horrible controls, terrible screen, or even hardware that wasn't capable of emulating the systems! I'm glad things are finally changing!
24:00 - Axelay appears to be running a little slow, judging by the shooting speed. I love that game..... Stage 2 music is so good. Konami was so awesome in the 80's & 90's.
TIL there's a Fatal Fury Special on the GG and it looks and animates like a beast. What a marvelous machine. The speaker looks the right size to be an 8ohm one for arcade cabinet usage and it must have a good amp circuit driving it, they did a real good job on this.
Though I think a different, darker color for plastic shell of the unit would have looked less cheap, the A12 seems fairly nice given the price, the larger screen, good sound, and the decent controls.
The screen is not IPS, it's a TN panel. You tested the horizontal viewing angles, but TN never had a problem with that, it's the vertical viewing angles it struggles with. If you look at the screen from below the colours invert, and blacks go way off from anything other than looking straight on (vertically). Would be nice to find a 9" IPS/*VA/OLED panel to upgrade this unit with, as otherwise it's a nice little bit of kit. The TN does OK, but could be much nicer.
@@DJDanceClassic not yet! I bought two of them as it made sense with the shipping.. so planning to use one to experiment on. Also planning to put some different OS on there as the stock one isn't great at recognising new games, unless you go into the retroarch subsystem. The joystick, buttons and built in speaker (despite being mono) though are great
We are certainly entering the new era. And what's even better from now on, its going to be only more interesting. Powkiddy V90 for its price is a great handheld with good OS. And now this one. How would you compare this to the official mini arcades like Neo Geo ?
Great minds think alike. Had to buy this as soon as I saw it, love the proper aspect, buttons and quality sound. Mine had a different game list (only 92 CPS with a lot of hacks). You can add more ROMs but have to edit the XML file in settings/res/ to show in the menu (very tedious), hoping someone uploads some curated romsets + xml in the future.
Glad I saw this comment, I was literally just about to hit "complete purchase". Sounds like a pain in the ass, I'll pass. Not sure why just dragging and dropping into the folder wouldn't do the trick, but I'm not that tech savy or patient to edit XML files.
Hey, man, is there a way to change the difficulty setting of FBA fighting games? Like for, example, on the RG 350 you press L1,R1, and select simultaneously and a menu will come where there is “SETTING UP THE SOFT DIP”, where you can adjust the difficulty of any fighting game from the default to LEVEL 1. How do you access this on the Powkiddy A12?
Great video! I love that it uses Retroarch, I've gotten more comfortable with that over time lol. If you get a chance, can you verify that Roms can be switched out?
This is honestly one of the nicest Chinese Emulation devices I have ever seen come out of China to date. It does just about everything right & was sold at a VERY reasonable price. I can't tell you how impressed I was with this thing! That really sucks about the HDMI filter tho. Really wish there was a way to turn it off.
They've had other versions of this same one for about a year now, and the Powkiddy ones are actually really good! The one I have is the 7" screen tho unfortunately.
@@RetroCore You're absolutely right, they don't have the better controls like this has, I had forgotten about that. Looks like I might actually upgrade to one of these after all, even tho I never even took the other out of the box yet lol. The hell am I even doing with my $?
Looks pretty good, like it was made by somebody that knows how these games should actually run, weird. ;) Controls look nice and the speaker is really impressive. Very nice device by [INSERT NAME], great job. :D
Yes, this is one of those systems that honestly does make you sit back in awe. Sure, it's not 100% perfect but it is very good, especially considering the price.
Saw you said that you can actually exit Retroarch. Makes me wonder what sort of OS this thing is running & what you might actually be able to do with it, if anything. Makes me wonder if an external keyboard could maybe be used if this thing is running either Android or Linux in the background.
If only everything coming out of China like this would just function properly at the very least. Seems like 90% of what you get out of China doesn't even function right. Looks like this is yet another rare case where it does. These are the only Chinese devices I actually do buy when they are actually decent like this.
Finally!!!!! Wow I’m amazed where do you buy it? Oh you mentioned you have your tv to native and it looked alright should I change my tv to native because I have it on auto for all my old console hook ups? That’s something I been so confused about .
Retro Core ty man but I mean in general i got a bunch of consoles just like you shoould I leave it auto for all of them or do I set my 4K tv to native for them?
Not to be that guy Retro Core but, on the History tab, that's 1944, not 1941 as you said it. But I don't blame you when we got games like 1941, the original 1942, 1943 & Kai,and 1944.

@@vlesmeries Hello, I have Ruka firmware on my PowKiddy A12 now...any idea how to stop the brightness from being permanently on 100%? I can't access the normal system settings at all and it's hard to get answers from anybody. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. :)
One them I am curious about with some of these systems (the ones that CAN run PSX games anyway) is how they deal with varying resolutions- the high res mode etc used in menus for some games and the like
The only problem I have with this is the relative few games that will actually use the widescreen (though GBA and PSP should look nice...if it can handle PSP). A lot of older arcade games used vertically oriented screens though, and they'll probably look tiny here.
That's not an issue because there is a 4:3 setting. It's no different than playing PS2, Dreamcast or older on a modern TV. Widescreen is there for games that need it while everything else can be in 4:3 mode. Perfect.
hi retro core i like your youtube channel. can you make video battle of the ports about last ninja trilogy for amiga, c64, atari st? can you make more videos about c64 games, amiga games, atari st games?
I must admit, that I like the idea of device "between" handheld and stationary device, especially due to its independent screen and sound source. A shame though, that amoung of emulators is limited and it seems that "by default" it's not adjusted to install something additionaly.

By the way, what version of Android does this run off of? And can you change out various RetroArch cores and things like that or is it all static? I assume you can at least change the ROMS that are on the card to English ones, is that right?
All of that is in the firmware, not on the card. You can't change cores without replacing the firmware, and I don't know how to find out what version of Android it runs. You can replace the ROMs, but if you want them to show up in the games folder, you need to edit an XML file. You can just run any ROM from the file browser, though.
@@vandrvekn7382 Good to know, thanks for that. That is a shame about the cores, as it would have been nice to be able to test various cores with the system as I really don't trust the Chinese developers to have done so. As for the games, I much prefer to load my ROMS via a file browser anyway, so that works for me. I actually hate it when a system only allows you to pick games from a predetermined menu and not from the file system, I really hate that. As long as all of the cores allow me to do so then I'm fine, but if they don't then that would be a big problem.

This is an excellent review. Well done. Very thorough.
This is the first review of a Chinese console Ive seen that doesn't have swearing peppered throughout it :D
Lol, 😁
it's pretty great. I hope the next one comes out with double the horsepower so it can run the 3d arcade games.
Fucking amazing, right?
Though I think a different, darker color for plastic shell of the unit would have looked less cheap, the A12 seems fairly nice given the price, the larger screen, good sound, and the decent controls.
I'd agree. I guess it could be painted.
But yeah, it's well priced for what is on offer.

Would love one if the website didn't look like it was going to give my goddamn phone a virus just by looking at it 😑
TAKE OFF THE FILM GOD DAMN YOU
