Review on Classic Console Player - Advanced Handheld Gaming Console by James Eledge

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great little GBA emulator

>Added images for size comparison with Game Boy Advanced< Pros: - It comes with the advertised number of games. About 50 tested, all seem to work. I ended up playing Pokemon for about 8 hours and this thing didn't bat an eyelid. Good battery life. - You can take out the SD card and add your own GBA games if you want. - The screen looks sharp with no ghosting or artifacts. - Headphone jack in 2019 and loud clear speaker. - The keys feel solid and satisfying. - Amazing value at the current price of $30. Cons: - It's small, make sure you buy the right product for your use case, the same seller has a bigger offer. Poorly optimized GBA games run at low or choppy frame rates. It's emulated, so clearly it's not perfect, doesn't break anything or break the immersion. Miscellaneous: - Since the games are emulated, no traditional saves are used. Used a menu to save state, it may be difficult for some people if you don't understand it. Thanks to this saving method, it is easier to lose progress in games. Apart from that, the backup state works properly and reliably.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Useless features
