Funny kaka/Caca means poop in several languages. Lol "play poop"

You are developing a channel that is what it would be like if ashens moved from popstations to their big brothers. Love the content, keep it up!

This actually screams DANKPODS

The Quality Control triangle tells you who's earwax that is.

"and annoyingly the screen quality is really good"

This feels like something DankPods would review.

You could use this as a screen donor for another project.

"why?" Because........

Gotta test the earbuds somehow. That’s some good quality control.

I like how he knows what FBA is now, presumably because he read the comments of the previous video :D keep up the good work Elliot

I've watched three videos from your channel, within the last hour, all about different subjects(V90 review, the 350P, and now this video) unintentionally, but all were great so I'm subbing. Great work, I like how you present and review. Thanks for the edutainment, please keep it coming.

I mean I really dig the design, maybe a second edition or maybe a third edition with a proper chipset with more horsepower would make this thing really amazing

This thing looks awfully incredible! 😂

I hadn't heard of the PlayDate or Panic before this video lmao. Imagine my surprise when I learned they published Firewatch and Untitled Goose Game, and now they're making hardware. And that hardware has a crank.

8:42 Yes, we all know the GBA uses an arcade stick, the NES has a mirrored super nintendo controller, and that Microsoft and Sony stole the controller designs from Super Famicom and Mega Drive obviously

Dude, modify it. See what you can make off it. Replacing the battery would be a start

I remember MP3 sticks in the early 2000s (which ran on one single AAA battery) having neat extra features like FM radio and Text file reader. It seems this thing here feels like a spiritual successor to those thingies. Mobile audio player with extra emulators :P

Love the direction of the channel always looking forward to what new stuff is out there

"That's probably where the fun of this console ends." Elliot dishing out the burns.

Once I saw they used Xenoblade Chronicles X for the front box art, my sides just shot into orbit. 😂😂😂

"HMMMMMMMMMM!" I just want to loop that for a techno tune.

I too listen to .FLACE audio files

I see you've been honing in your Mario Kart skills.....

I have been waiting for the real Playdate for months! Since the virus, there have been no updates on it’s production and I am getting anxious! 😂

I love how the controller icons for the the Super Famicom and Mega Drive are the Xbox 360 and PS3 controller respectively while NES is using a weird bootleg looking controller and GBA apparently gets an arcade joystick!

Excellent video mate👍 the best thing about them handhelds is the teardown.

Seems actually pretty cool in some ways. Pre installed games and everything. But yeah it lacks in a lot of other things.

It’s on that weird line of “what a piece of crap” and “I might want one just for the weird factor”. But for 40 bucks, no thank you lol. Thanks for showing this though! 😁

Playkaka... Whahahah... what a name. I just tested this handheld today so I know what you are going to review 😆 Great video like always ! 😃

I have the playdate and I just love this form factor so much I really want this little sucker too. Just to have a super thin console on hand.

i'm curious of what would the controller output on a mic jack input lol

Got really excited that this was a cheap little music making device.

Someone PLEASE make a GIF of Elliott shaking that controller!

You should do an end of year round-up of the "best" emulator consoles at different price points!

I love how dissed hard on it then went kinda nice on it when he got 1st

Whoa, I hadn't heard of the PlayDate, but I instantly recognized the Panic! logo as they are based here in Portland! Didn't even know they made Untitled Goose Game (haven't played it yet)

The screenshot on the box is from Xenoblade Chronicles X. Would love to see this thing even try to run that.

For no apparent reason, you could build a Gameboy Color into a OG Gameboy case or vice versa.

You always find the most uniquely good and bad things I love it

if it wasn't for the screen tear you could solder tact buttons on the motherboard, make the buttons better.

Love your videos man, always entertaining!!

Hey buddy! I know this is completely un-related to this vid, but I recently tried (and failed) at replacing a gba screen. Unfortunately when I went to replace the glass, i pulled out the whole LED strip. Would you happen to know where I could get a new screen? i've been looking around ebay and everything seems sketchy. Thanks!

the anologue stick could be tiny on the bottom left hand corner... it needs adhoc... an alarm clock app... a calculator... a text editor (no touch screen), a music shuffle play button for people whom dont want to wear glasses and a regular sd card input as a means for people to trade/sell games...

"why?" he says with a "for no reason" mini series hahah

I know it's not how it's intended as it's supposed to be portable, but think the 500mah battery can't deliver the proper current and plugging it in while playing will yield different results? Kinda like the switch is turned down while unplugged but performance gets better when plugged in. I know it's not beneficial on the go, but seeing as you have a controller can maybe plug it in and use the controller.

Honestly, if it worked properly, I would absolutely buy one. For the time being, I’m just hoping that the Game & Watch that’s coming out in November can be modified. Such a thin emulator would be a nice novelty.

What happen to the crank on the side?? For some reason that interested me the most.

This just makes me want the PlayDate more!

Why the FRICK is there a pic of Xenoblade Chronicles X´s cover art/title screen in the packaging?

7:24 Is that music preloaded into the SD Card? It has Daddy Yankee in there!

I love the way it looks. I think it would make a good look for a smartphone.

You suffer for our entertainment. Bless you

That preapplied earwax is just lube for easy insertion.

the menus and screen shape are kind of reminiscent of my old Creative ZEN mp3 player. it didn't have games on it but it felt so futuristic back in the mid aughts with custom backgrounds and animations and stuff on there. actually I remember that thing being the first time I remarked on pixel density, though if I looked at it now I'm sure it'd be nothing special that way. But yeah I'd load my (legal) Napster songs on there, as well as a few youtube poops me and my friends quoted a lot and we'd watch those in class on there. sometimes I get really nostalgic for that sort of thing. I know that in 2020 I have absolutely no use whatsoever for a dedicated music device when I can stream spotify from my phone, pc, robot, whatever and it remembers where I left off and plays wirelessly but... there was just something special about those old ZENs. Most people at school had iPods but I never really found them to be as good

I'm usually apprehensive about spending money, even if it's a small amount... But it's your videos that just make me want to expand my collection! Even if I have a few pieces of crap in there too! Lotta love for the channel, man!

This is why I subscribed to the channel, classic TRF.

I feel like with a bit of modding you could probably SERIOUSLY upgrade it Like a base to a pretty neat DIY project or something

Backstreet boys pre loaded in the card!? I'm sold!

The art on the screen of the box art is just the cover art of Xenoblade Chronicles X. I knew as soon as I saw that we were in for something special

ifixit should sponsor your channel bro, hopefully they do one day!! awesome video as always thank you

Speaking of a good toolkit- is there any tool I can use for a stripped screw? Trying to open up a PS1 controller but one of the screws is stripped. Tried a few DIY things like using a hammer to make a new dent or using rubber bands for more grip, and I even bought some screw grip goo that didn’t work. My next ideas are glueing the screwdriver to the screw, or using a drill to just destroy the screw and the post... You always make great content and seem to know what you’re doing so I thought I’d ask 😅

"We still operating in 2005" < actually, 2005 was when Mini-USB - the slightly thicker one - was actually gaining popularity, sorry to ruin the fun tho :P

As a collector, I'd still love to get my hands on this!

If that thing looks cool than can’t wait to see how the play date feels in hands.

I loved the HMMM from the beginning 🤣

It’s crazy how you can run games like these on almost anything now

2:55 that's likely mold release agent from manufacturing.

0:01 your face 😂

you can absolutely just drop a larger LiPo cell in, LiPo charging circuits monitor battery voltage, not capacitance (atleast a cheap charging circuit which you would find embedded in electronics) so they just threw the smaller battery in to save the dollar per unit. I also find it interesting that there is a spot for a flash memory chip but they decided not to populate it, i wonder if this board was stolen from another product or if the designer had the flash memory chip in mind, but they decided last minute that it was too expensive.

You better be keeping this to compare it to the actual playdate

You should try to mod and see if putting in a more powerful battery would make the emulation run at normal speed.

Someone call Retro Dodo! He might have a new. Video idea 🤣

Not that device in particular, but the v90 or similar, I'd like to watch Captain N, the Zelda cartoon, Super Mario Super show, and Power Team... because nostalgia-ception?

For any curious, the impossible screenshot on the cover is Xenoblade Chronicles X from WiiU. lol I honestly can't wait for things to improve where I live so I can start regularly buying some of these things. There's something just really fun about seeing how badly some of these can be.

I was so happy when you said let’s open it up.I wish you would have opened the controller to.

Hi! I know it's not a good console, but do you know where can I find one? I've been looking for it for a project but had no luck. Thanks for your videos!

Can we get a rating thing at the end of the vid? Like Stars or something. I would help evaluate how good it is and just add a little something more.

2:06 holy shit this device runs Xenoblade X

Excuse me, MicroUSB didn't really take off until 2010, and it wasn't dominant for a year or two after that.

Try modding that speaker in to something else like a GBC or something.

Son: I WANT A HANDHELD CONSOLE mom:*sigh* ok son The handheld console:

i would really like to see what this thing is replicating, please do a review of it...

Hey man do you have any Idea of how to remove the bottom screen and the top screen of a 3ds

Reliable and humurous, the kind of resource I'm looking for!

you should make a video chucking a good batterie in it.

Woah that looks actually cool

His face when the game sound came up 😂

Dang it, i would be love something like this if it worked well

Your face exprection are priceless

That Color is cool

Anyone know where I can still get one of these? The links are dead

I think you should give it props for the build quality at least, seems fine. And you're right, worth it just for the ROMs that are preloaded.

I'm very worried that the battery is taped to the back of the screen, overcharge it and it will probably destroy the screen.

Ah, interesting you review this, i just noticed it on aliexpress the other day and was intrigued by the nice form factor and the cheap price. In the end after looking around i saw comments it was underpowered and steered towards another cool looking cheap machine the FC3000.

I never knew your channel until now thanks to the algorithm haha wish you the best! And one more thing, why don´t you try a fater SD card? I´ve seen how that improves this chinese plastice machines big time.

If a larger batter will fit, than it will work just fine. Really no reason not too (if it really fits).

Hello. This question is off-topic so my apologies. Do you have any suggestions for a Sega Dreamcast Handheld emulator? Thanks in advance.

Taking the screen protector off was definitely the best part...

Why is the GBA icon a joystick

Imo the best thing is how cute the controller looks like, clearly not a real dap and barely an emulator
