The Most PERFECT Handheld Ever | PowKiddy RGB30 Review | You Need This!
Рет қаралды 177,828
Күн бұрынNOTE: I just realized what I said about battery life wasn't quite clear. I've enjoyed 2-3 hour sessions without any issue, not that the battery dies after that long. I saw around 55% remaining after a 2.5 hour session today. I'd guess it lasts around 6-8 hours in general.
This is the PowKiddy RGB30, a total slam dunk of a handheld from PowKiddy, sporting a unique 4", 1:1 aspect ratio, 720 x 720 display. In my opinion, this handheld is perfect, and one of the best releases on the market today.
Pick one up from GoGameGeek using code RB77 for 15% off sitewide! With this code, you'll get the RGB30 cheaper than anywhere else!

If you had told me as a kid lusting over aisles of 16-bit games, that one day we would have widely available, affordable handheld devices that would allow you to store and play all the games in the store I would have been incredibly dubious. To be able to think of an older game, and just pop into it and play it on a whim is a modern development that isn’t appreciated enough.

Pro tip: Play NES and SNES in 8:7 aspect ratio so they even fill more of the screen. It's their native internal resolution and despite most games were developed with a 4:3 TV in mind, they look fantastic and definitely not "wrong" in 8:7. This is also what I'm doing on my Analogue Pocket (10:9 screen). The games look amazing.

As soon as I turned it on and starting to play a video game on this system, to me it made me feel that this is how a handheld should be. It's like having a dream, and then you try to remember the dream, but in the case of the RGB30, you are holding in your hand the dream item you forgot about, then realize, you have a unique handheld that is awesome.

This aspect ratio also delivers an excellent experience for 8:7 and 16:15 consoles, namely NES, SNES and TurboGrafx-16. The standout being SNES where you can integer scale and use the overscale function in retroarch, which delivers a bigger play area than wider screen 4.5"-5" handhelds such as the RP3+, at the cost only of shaving 4 pixels off left and right.
@3godzilla3 9 ай бұрын

I've been sitting on the purchase page from Powkiddy's website for so long now. I will casually watch reviews from time to time and they always ALMOST convince me to pull the trigger. I think I'm finally gonna order it. Especially given your coupon code which brings it down under 80 dollars shipped with what seems like fairly fast shipping to the US? At that price point, this actually becomes a no brainer as I could easily just slap my install of PICO8 on this and have the perfect PICO handheld and be done at that. But given the versatility of that display, I can see this replacing my 35XX to become my daily retro pocket handheld and my Retroid Pocket 3+ staying as my carryon device for more demanding systems like DC, Saturn, 3DS, GC and PS2. And with the RGB30 having WiFi and JelOS supporting Syncthing. I can hopefully have both devices easily synced with save states and save files so I can easily pick one up and start where I left off on the other machine. It seems like it could be an amazing duo!
@RetroBreezeYT 9 ай бұрын

I just bought one, and i'm amazed with the performance. The frontend aesthetic is gorgeous. Systems as SNES, PC Engine, CPS 1,2,3, Neo Geo, runs smoothly (all Fbneo roms, runs amazing, even Midway games)... Some other like N64 or Dreamcast have minor details, but overall with good performance. You can connect it to the tv (mini hdmi), or pairing with every Bluetooth device, i.e. 8bitdo controllers and JBL speakers. This is the perfect complement for a Nintendo Switch console system.

Oh man, I've seen multiple reviews on this handheld, and honestly speaking, yours is probably the only one that gave this amazing handheld a proper appreciation! What an amazing little device, who would've thought a square display could transform the experience in this way! I loved handhelds ever since I was a child, recently there has been a flood of handhelds almost on weekly basis, but nothing grabbed my attention as this one did. What I feel by going with a 1:1 screen, is that it gets you closer to the game somehow, or in other words, brings the game closer to the player! Wide displays are nice and all, but I always felt like they pushed the game further and away from you, not sure how to explain it, most likely due to the wider aspect ratio i think... Regardless, I love everything about this handheld and its pleasantly affordable too! Although I think a beefy grip would fit it nicely specially for someone with larger hands. Hopefully PowKiddy notices the positive attention and continues releasing such amazing devices with 1:1 screens, we need more, that's for sure!

The opponent actually takes time to think before making the next move. To me, Game Boy Color also has the best version of Scrabble among all other platforms including GBA. Though, Scrabble Junior of the GBA is quite good as well. Two other games I always enjoy on my retro handhelds is Sega CD Wheel Of Fortune and Sega Genesis Minnesota Fats: Pool Legend. Sega CD games can be tricky to get up and running because you have to have it's BIOS file installed in the Mega Drive Emulator in order for Sega CD games to run. That Sega CD Wheel Of Fortune is the best and most realistic version of Wheel Of Fortune.

Couldn’t help but notice, with Out Run on MAME, it looked like digital input. I’d that correct, or was you just pushing all the way in the stock, and it’s actually analogue input? I’ll be looking out for that improved DPad too. Sounds like a minor issue that could end up being a little too annoying depending on the game being played.

Can JelOS sort by franchise or publisher instead of console? For instance, instead of switching between SNES, PS1, and PS2 for Final Fantasy, or even Square games, it would be great to select the franchise instead. Can it run VLC for music/video?

On the DS, can you use the right analog as a stylus? Like in the RK2023, it would mean you could play games that only need touch for a start menu for example.

Yes it does! L2 to bring up the stylus.

How do you get the console’s logo appearing at the bottom of the screen?
@sambagogo777 9 ай бұрын
Here's hoping that same screen is soon featured on other devices of a slightly higher quality. Starting with stereo sound output (bizarrely this device reportedly outputs mono sound from two speakers) and a better d-pad.

Yes, I'd love to see this idea tried again. I'd love to see the 3.5" screen from the BlackBerry classic as well!

I heard that the mono output isnt a hardware flaw but something that needs to be fixed in software.

Is there any way to shift the screen to the top of the display for aspect ratios like 4:3 and 16:9? I think it would look better if there was no black bar at the top
@MitchK1989 9 ай бұрын
yeah, retroarch 'custom' aspect ratio lets you pick exactly how many pixels tall/wide you want the picture to be and where it is positioned in X and Y space.

You didn't mention in your review the customizable black bezels. I have seen that mentioned in one other review. Basically allows you to fill the black bezels on top/bottom with a more visually appealing graphic for each system (for example when playing GBA). Let us know if you tried, and if this makes your experience even more enjoyable @ RetroBreeze
@RetroBreezeYT 8 ай бұрын
Sure, bezels are a stock feature in JELOS. I probably should've mentioned them but I personally don't usually use them. Just a preference!

I wish the battery didn’t drain so fast in sleep mode. I end up fully turning it off every time to preserve battery. Otherwise, I love it. You didn’t even mention that you can play SNES and TurboGrafx-16 in 8:7 to maximize the screen space.

The only thing that keeps it from being perfect to me is, I would like it to emulate up to perfect Dreamcast, and N64. Other than that there is no downside. The aspect ratio is perfect for a lot of systems and the ones that it’s not you still get a 3 1/2 inch screen just like you would on any other handheld. Can you upscale ps1 and Saturn to 2x? That would be ideal for the screen that’s on there .

So am I right in thinking this has retroarch backend allowing for retro achievements? Miyoo mini + has been amazing for that so far having great compatibility with cores for systems, especially when you know how to prep C. D based roms like mega cd and psx,. Bin/cue u. s release 90% time and fbneo with cps 1,2,3. Getting Hardcore points on my fav fighters. But this with vertical shooters looks unreal, aswell as the 1:1 systems you showcased.
