Review on ๐ŸŒ Enhanced Opening Handheld Portable Pempered: The Ultimate Travel Companion by Brian Summers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Low expectations, exceptional product

So basically I ordered this product thinking "okay, if it does I'll be pleasantly surprised" with the expectation that it either didn't work or didn't work well. i will leave it Every game I've tested so far on GBA, SNES, PS1 and Genesis has worked flawlessly (probably around 2 dozen tested in total, YMMV). The screen is decent, good viewing angles, good color, no complaints. The sound is finicky, and by that I mean when the volume control is either off or loud it can be difficult to get a moderate volume. A: Loads fast, ran PS1 games well so far (only tested Tomb Raider, but what I've played has been a fairly constant 60fps at around 80% CPU usage), everything worked fine on PS1. Pleasant surprises: USB-C charging, size (slightly smaller than an OG Gameboy bag), build quality (Ls board lit), sleep mode, state saving (didn't know if I should expect that or not), removable battery. All in all: If you DO NOT NEED an analogue joystick for this price, you have come to the right place. If you're willing to pay more for a full RPi in a GB case with an analog stick, go for it, but for more than double the money I don't think you'll get a 2x system.

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Big and bulky
