Current Events > So I bought one of those Chinese retro handheld consoles...

(+) Yeah! (+)

More specifically I got a powkoddy v90... looks very reminiscent to a GBA sp. It can play a decent amount of retro systems...

Unfortunately mine had a defective audio slider or something and the only way to fix it as far I can tell is byusing a rubber band...

Overall it's a pretty cool piece of technology

Looks like the screen could be way better.

So many rooms are on this Chinese knockoff? I know most of them usually calm to have 200+ game but most of them would just be multiple rom hacks of the same game. Sometimes even just being copies.

There are a a couple of romhacks/bootleg roms, but this one in particular has a decent selection of GBA and arcade games to play, there were no duplicate roms on this system which is good. You could also add your own roms if whatever that's on it is not to your liking, along with installing CFW which opens the door to more stable emulators and additional consoles to play.

The screen is alright in my book, kinda small but it's okay. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. The biggest selling point for me that it can be a fairly cheap device that can play retro handheld game consoles, maybe even some PS1 games if you're willing to experiment with numerous games. It's also very tiny! Slightly smaller than the GBA SP and it can be charged like a regular phone (or via a power bank).
