    I would have purchased this if it did full speed dreamcast without frameskip for all dreamcast games. Just cant justify 170 with shipping for a handheld that cant play all dreamcast games. Anbernic just needed a little bit more power, just a little. Didnt need the t618. What a shame.

      “Grey market” product if it comes with games. That said, I’d wager Ali Express sells the majority of them to US consumers. Just be wary of the lowest price unit on the site, not necessarily the best purchase. Make sure to read the specs for how many GB the card included has, and if it says which games/systems. Also, check how many units the seller has sold and what their feedback is like.

      this is the premium version of this device so it is priced higher. i'd say look for the other versions of this chipset list as 353. this is fairly new but not the latest, so i think you can find one on amazon or ebay already. a secondhand of this device is better in some ways, i'd say. it's a tank so being the 2nd person to own it means it is already tested and setup for you. plus it'll be cheaper at that point.

I’m wondering if these devices are just too technical for younger kids to navigate.

    • @Madlittlepixel
      @Madlittlepixel  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      For a younger kid I wouldnt give them one of these... if they start messing around... press the wrong thing, going into system menus etc... they can mess up the emulators settings or how the system runs type of thing. Its not complicated, but just from my experience setting up emulation consoles for people similar to this I had soo many times where I had to help fix the setup because someone messed with something they shouldnt have. a bit older kid like maybe 10+ it may be fine... as long as you know they will just play a game, exit it select another and not mess with stuff.

I accidentally bought 2 cheap (like, $8 cheap) handheld Gameboy knockoffs on Groupon 😂 nowhere NEAR the same experience but for now, my kids might actually be entertained enough on long car rides to at least make it a worthy purchase. Perhaps Switch Lites are in their future, though…

      If your checking out the 353 series, I heard the 353v's have better brighter screens, but the 353m definitely has a more solid build, plus it's the only anbernic model besides the 505 that has the magnetic HAL sticks. I myself won't be buying any right now, the Retroid Pocket 3+ doesn't have enough performance for full speed gamecube, plus the resolution isn't good for scaling, 505 has the same issue with resolution and performance. Also heard the Retroid Pocket 3+ triggers breaking. If I had to pick one, I would probably go with the 353M myself.

    • @onysfx8484
      @onysfx8484 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's because N64 emulation back in those days was very innaccurate. N64 emulation has been a mess for years, and after the disastrous plugin based system on project64, other emulators such as parallel and mupen have strived for accuracy. But as a result, performance has taken a huge dip, and now far more powerful hardware is required to run those games. I wish we had a linux port of Project64, I wouldn't mind some inaccuracy for playable performance, but on retroarch, it's only the latest developed cores.
