Not too good at all this but felt compelled to do a very brief synopsis of this device. I am a new owner.
My first impression was how well this device feels when one plays games on it. It just feels and fits perfectly in my hands like no other emulator handheld I have played [ and I have played many]. The build quality is lightly weighted but does not feel cheap but rather quite precision like and well thought out. Well done here.
My second impression was the ease of navigation on the screen. I really fancy the way the shoulder buttons bring you to the different folders available. Quite convenient indeed. Again well done. Speaking of the screen, the resolution is perfectly suited considering playing 8/16 bit games does not require high resolutions. Also the screen size is perfect for my liking ; well done again
My third third impression is mixed. I will say the preinstalled .opk's and all the other open sourced ones I have downloaded are very well done indeed. The emulators = Nintendo,Sega,MSX, NEC,Vectrex play very well for the most part.I say 'for the most part' becasue 32X and CD games for Sega/NEC seem either not to play smoothly or not play at all. I was pleasantly surprised how well the POTATOR /Watara Supervision emulator played. Yes I like monochrome Gameboy wanna be's
. Otherwise ,everything else I have thrown at it plays superbly. Well done.
My last impression [finally] is sorting files. I am a noobie at all this so perhaps with time I will get more proficient. Maybe not because I am a old,inpatient git
. With that said,it is confusing for me, to the point of being somewhat confounded, why some emulators/games must be done via internal memory/FTP's versus just being placed on a micro sd card like others??!! I've no problems filing away on my sd card and rather enjoy the hunt. However, the use of the GCW command app and[ again sorry for the repetitiveness] using FTP's is something I do not fancy and fine it inconsistent at best. Again this is entirely my experience [or lack of] and perspective. Not for a moment am I looking to troll or start a fury for I do really like the device and have no regrets with my purchase. I do suppose because of my inability to download these various emulators/games as such, I am missing out on some fun
. Yes I have watched the instructional videos. It all does not work smoothly for me at this time.
I had a device that emulated more 'powerfully' or shall I say with more variety. It was easier for me as far as putting what I wanted solely on my sd card . However, if one looked the wrong way, fissures would occur. The build quality was rather shitty.Something was wrong with the plastic casing I suppose. I would rather have a device like this one,that is significantly less GBP and does not threaten me that it will fissure at any given interval, than own the prior device referred to.Yes I prefer the GCW in spite of the variety the other device offered. No names mentioned here.
So there is my brief opinion/rant for what it is worth. No insults intended.
Happy Holiday to all the USA!!
Cheers!!!
