La potenza della macchina buona: oltre ad emulare tutte le vecchie console 8 e 16 bit, emula perfettamente la PS1, PSP e N64. Emula bene anche la maggior parte dei giochi Wii ed alcuni della PS2. Ottimo il design a conchiglia, che protegge la console ed meno ingombrante per il trasporto. Molto buoni e precisi i controlli, con i R1 e R2 (acceleratori posteriori) precisi e con tanta escursione (per una console portatile). Ben definito e luminoso lo schermo, pur non essendo OLED. La batteria consente di giocare per una decina di ore senza ricarica.
Preciso che necessita di una certa pazienza e capacit per configurarla ad arrivare a giocare con gli emulatori dei vecchi giochi, ma sono numerosi i tutorial al riguardo.
Sur cette console vous ajoutez vos roms et vous configurez les mulateurs.
A vous d’ajouter des jeux.
Il y aura du travail de config de la console.
Aprs a la console est vraiment utilisable et ont peut jouer jusqu’ la PS2/game Cube
just about the perfect emulator.
-Small enough to fit in your pocket.
-Long battery life.
-Controls feel good in the hands, clean and responsive.
-Can be converted into a living room gaming console/media streaming device with micro HDMI to HDMI and bluetooth controllers.
The Hal sliders are in the perfect spot in my opinion. The last time I used a slider was with a PSP 15+ years ago, and the positioning of the PSP slider always felt awkward and made my thumb cramp up. With the pocket flip the sliders located in the center allow me to stretch my thumbs out and it just feels more natural.
The only things I would give a thumbs down on are the back firing speakers. There’s room on the front where they would make more sense, but I’m guessing there was a design compromise somewhere that prevented it. The other thing is the touch screen is a bit awkward to reach without changing your grip on the device. Get a screen protector to help with cleaning finger prints.
Otherwise this is a great little device for the money and I’d highly recommend. The only thing that would make me hesitate recommending to just anyone is the difficulty of getting emulation set up. Retroid launcher is great for setting up rom folders, but Daijish is the cats meow.
Ya haba investigado mucho antes de decidirme a comprarla, as que sin sorpresas por ese lado.
No he probado con juegos Android, pero deberan ir sin problema. Los pocos de N64 y Play2 que son para lo que me interesaba esta consola, funcionan sin pegas.
La salida a la TV (cable no incluido) funciona a la primera, y correctamente. En este caso, mejor con un mando bluetooth conectado.
La nica “pega” es que el precio en Amazon es un poco ms alto que en otros sitios, pero el envo rpido y la garanta que ofrece lo compensan.
