Rocknix continued support for the X55 . So jelos is living a new life!

[@TheTechUpdate-ui1fh]

Didn't Know, that is good to hear. Thanks for the Feedback. Will look into that

[@greekmanx]

Trimui SP is often $50 or less was like $47 shipped recently from Ali also there is a alpha build of Knulli which is a batocera fork that is nice and coming along well

[@TheTechUpdate-ui1fh]

I have seen it for this price aswell but chose to list the general retail price In the title as it not always on sale. When I checked AliExpress this week the cheapest I could find it for was around $62 ex shipping. If you see a cheaper deal please share the link. Didn't know about Knuli. Sounds awesome if it's based of Batocera. Will check into it. thanks for Sharing

[@thelucasstorm]

I have both and will say they are each an excellent value for the price. I do think the X55 slightly edges out the Smart Pro though and this is because of 3 things: much better analog sticks, comfortable ergonomic design and superior system UI. The Smart Pro is pocketable, good build quality and the RGB lights are pretty cool. Overall can't go wrong if you can get either of these for around $80.

[@TheTechUpdate-ui1fh]

Sounds awesome! its good to get feedback from someone who actually owns both. I can imagine that the X55 is more comfortable than the Smart Pro. it's almost a Rg556 vs RP4 Pro comparison design and Ergonmics wize isn't it? How does the battery life compare in your experience. Does the Smart pro last a bit longer with the slighlty larger battery?

[@TheTechUpdate-ui1fh]

Hi Apologies that it took so lobg to reply. The artist is Lexica and the track name is Tiger Tracks. It is a free track that is avaialable on the site i use for editing Canva, You have to get a Pro subscription to have access to it though. Hope that helps.

Hello, a great comparison video!! I ordered a Trimui Smart Pro without an sd card, which I want to buy myself. Do you know if I have to create folders on the sd card beforehand or does the Trimui do that when I insert the sd card!?

[@TheTechUpdate-ui1fh]

Hi, thanks for the compliment it is much appreciated. You will have to update the unit to the new version 1.04 firmware anyway when you get it so that it runs everything as efficiently as possible. I have a video guide on that here: th-cam.com/video/-Qt2cWghIiQ/w-d-xo.html. When you do this you will be copying over the folder structure that the unit needs to run with the updated files in them. Joey over at Joey's Retro handhelds has an extremely in depth setup guide if your still stuck after watching mine that you can view here: th-cam.com/video/NFMXzy9ZkIk/w-d-xo.html. Hope that helps, enjoy your Trimui.

[@OldHardwarenerd]

@@TheTechUpdate-ui1fh Thank you for the detailed answer! If I have installed the update via the sd card, I can then delete the update file from the sd card again!!! The suf the it card come in the end only the odner for the roms or!?

[@TheTechUpdate-ui1fh]

@@OldHardwarenerd I believe you should be able to install the update with the SD card, format it and then copy the file structure that is neccesary for the Storage sd card that holds the ROm, Bios and other folders. It is part of the upgrade process. You have to download 2 update files. One to update the system and one to copy files onto the storage SD Card. Joeys video is quite comprehensive and shows you step by step what to do. I hope this answers your question. Wasn't shure about that last part. Feel free to ask again if this didn;t clear it up.

Trimui is often 50-60usd , never seen x55 in this price range. Power saving mode in trimui is just impossible to beat.
Trimui is very heavy supported and already got first Vulcan update, and developers are focusing to improve psp emulation.
Only bad thing- analogs, I hope there will be a replacement mod in the future.

[@AlsPlays]

I prefer the trimui smart pro too ❤

[@TheTechUpdate-ui1fh]

Lots of good points there. But just heard that Rocknix is continuing to support Jelos. Will have to look into that. That might mean that there may be continued development on the X55 though. X55 is a bit older the smart pro though and the slim form factor of the pro is apealing. Maybe just get both Lol, then you don't have to choose.

[@TheTechUpdate-ui1fh]

Nice what is the main factor that Swayed you to the Smart Pro?

[@georgepierre3594]

powkiddy x55 is so good, but the buttons are so damn loud.. Def not a handheld I'd play beside someone at night.

[@TheTechUpdate-ui1fh]

@@georgepierre3594 Interesting, thanks for the feedback. It is always good to hear from someone with first hand experience. ill remember that if i ever get one, Happy wife, happy life lol!

[@EliasPfaiffer]

trimui smart pro all the way!
love this handheld so much!

[@TheTechUpdate-ui1fh]

Glad to hear it, what do you like most about it?
