WEBVTT

00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:08.160
okay so courtesy of the same crazy bastards that brought us that tiny

00:00:05.279 --> 00:00:13.599
little Windows-based gaming machine we have got this should be one of the

00:00:10.160 --> 00:00:16.960
first units as far as i know the gpd

00:00:13.599 --> 00:00:20.960
xd plus and if you're wondering was that

00:00:16.960 --> 00:00:23.199
intentional the answer is yes yes it was

00:00:20.960 --> 00:00:27.760
and this is actually the least bizarre thing about the box because i don't know

00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:32.719
what the hell that is supposed to mean when you smile the world loves him when

00:00:30.080 --> 00:00:37.040
you laugh the world fears him maybe it's a riddle

00:00:34.160 --> 00:00:42.719
maybe it's some kind of proverb maybe it just was

00:00:39.440 --> 00:00:45.680
random words from a dictionary like this

00:00:42.719 --> 00:00:50.640
it's hard to tell but what i do know is that this thing looks pretty freaking

00:00:47.840 --> 00:00:55.680
cool it's an Android-based gaming device and we are gonna put it through the

00:00:52.719 --> 00:01:00.640
paces after i tell you about tunnelbear the easy-to-use vpn app that makes it so

00:00:58.239 --> 00:01:06.359
people can enjoy a more open internet to try tunnelbear for free go to

00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:06.359
tunnelbear.com LTT

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:19.600
all right first things first let's get this baby fired up so it's pretty

00:01:17.280 --> 00:01:25.280
similar in terms of the actual construction of it to the original gpd

00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:29.119
xd which is also an Android based gaming device but

00:01:26.799 --> 00:01:33.680
they have made some upgrades under the hood to make it a little bit more robust

00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:38.000
so first let's run through it just for those of you who aren't familiar

00:01:35.360 --> 00:01:44.640
bottom's pretty plain you've got an r1 r2 l1 and l2 that for whatever reason

00:01:41.280 --> 00:01:46.320
all of these are upside down

00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:51.840
so you're apparently supposed to look at them this way okay sure it's got a

00:01:49.040 --> 00:01:56.720
headphone jack which you cannot take for granted these days

00:01:53.600 --> 00:01:59.680
it's got a mini HDMI output that is HDMI

00:01:56.720 --> 00:02:06.320
2.0 they say in the specs but then they also say HDMI 2.0 max 2560 by 1600

00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:10.000
resolution maybe it's a software limitation uh micro usb still for

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:17.280
charging so that's how you can tell there were a couple things they did not update about the chassis and micro sd

00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:20.800
other than that we've got uh did this it's not turned on what's going

00:02:18.879 --> 00:02:25.520
on oh hey there it goes okay so we've got a couple of joysticks that are

00:02:22.560 --> 00:02:31.360
actually not too shabby like as far as low profile joysticks go that's not bad

00:02:28.239 --> 00:02:32.560
we've got an l3 and an r3 volume up

00:02:31.360 --> 00:02:39.519
volume down let's make some adjustments there there we go multitask button we've got

00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:41.519
whatever this button does

00:02:39.519 --> 00:02:47.519
not clear not clear what this button does start select back home

00:02:44.319 --> 00:02:49.519
which uh and we've got a d-pad and

00:02:47.519 --> 00:02:54.480
actually some not bad buttons here as well now challenge number one challenge

00:02:51.920 --> 00:02:58.480
number one for me is that it ships in chinese

00:02:55.840 --> 00:03:04.640
which has some what appear to be some like pirated ass games on it

00:03:01.440 --> 00:03:06.319
i don't know what moopen 64 plus is

00:03:04.640 --> 00:03:10.159
i don't know what that says something about detected problem oh that's in

00:03:07.760 --> 00:03:15.280
english i wasn't taking it for granted so it

00:03:12.560 --> 00:03:20.400
apparently ships with this wow that is some pretty sketch stuff right there but

00:03:17.920 --> 00:03:24.319
hey let's try it out right always yoshi if you pick anyone other than yoshi and

00:03:21.920 --> 00:03:28.959
mario 64 then you suck or you're playing with me because i would have worked

00:03:25.680 --> 00:03:28.959
pretty hard to snipe yoshi

00:03:30.400 --> 00:03:35.920
oh i'm dropping a couple of frames here but it's actually not too bad so i don't

00:03:34.159 --> 00:03:38.640
know why that is right now i haven't actually obviously spent a lot of time

00:03:37.599 --> 00:03:44.840
with it i don't know if there's any tuning that i can do i really got to get my mario kart game on here because this

00:03:42.319 --> 00:03:48.959
is not pretty to watch seven see i'm not a game streamer i'm

00:03:47.120 --> 00:03:53.519
not experienced with like trying to play the game while talking

00:03:51.040 --> 00:03:57.120
beat that luigi thank you oh that drift

00:03:54.879 --> 00:04:02.720
go away toad you suck you suck everything about you sucks oh

00:04:00.319 --> 00:04:05.840
oh oh oh terrible terrible terrible terrible

00:04:04.480 --> 00:04:10.239
oh no okay so that's enough moopin

00:04:07.920 --> 00:04:14.239
uh moop and cart 64 here let's have a look at some of the other stuff they got

00:04:11.680 --> 00:04:19.759
going on in here apparently wow this thing is like pirated af

00:04:18.400 --> 00:04:24.160
okay if this thing manages to impress me in

00:04:22.320 --> 00:04:29.520
super mario world then they have a good product on their

00:04:25.840 --> 00:04:31.840
hands here because i have i have not had

00:04:29.520 --> 00:04:36.880
a great experience with super mario world on Android emulators so far

00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:40.479
and i'm pretty sensitive to input lag in this game so let's have a look here

00:04:39.040 --> 00:04:44.160
trust me i'm actually pretty good at this game

00:04:42.320 --> 00:04:46.400
there we go just the buttons are reversed

00:04:45.600 --> 00:04:51.199
oh oh the button mapping oh

00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:56.400
oh right okay

00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:58.639
where are the settings for this emulator uh

00:04:58.720 --> 00:05:05.759
all right yeah this is chinese is all hell also the input lag is not great

00:05:05.840 --> 00:05:10.560
it's not playable it's not playable i don't know if it's in the emulators

00:05:08.880 --> 00:05:14.080
themselves or if it's in the manufactures of the devices but there's

00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:17.360
a lot of room to improve this experience and some people like if you're super

00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:21.360
basic then i guess it's fine but oh we've only got one ps1 they've only got

00:05:19.600 --> 00:05:25.240
one thing in here cebu kaihatsu

00:05:25.759 --> 00:05:31.600
sure let's go with difficult i'm sure this thing is going to kick my ass

00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:37.440
well i don't know what the buttons do brandon

00:05:37.520 --> 00:05:42.560
oh okay so we've got the like electricity whip now

00:05:41.039 --> 00:05:47.360
that's pretty dope yeah eat you eat you can eat

00:05:44.880 --> 00:05:52.800
too yeah thank you electricity whip loving it so overall performance in the

00:05:50.240 --> 00:05:59.360
included emulators is actually pretty good n64 we struggled a little bit but

00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:02.080
um super famicom

00:05:59.360 --> 00:06:05.759
the joysticks feel good still d-pad is actually pretty good it's hard to find a

00:06:03.600 --> 00:06:10.160
decent d-pad these days and the buttons are reasonably clicky all considering

00:06:08.319 --> 00:06:14.639
like how low profile the whole thing feels in terms of performance they've

00:06:12.639 --> 00:06:19.680
got some decent specs under the hood on this thing so it's a mediatek 8176

00:06:18.000 --> 00:06:25.759
four gigs of RAM they're using a power vr gx 2650 they've upgraded the storage

00:06:22.960 --> 00:06:30.560
to emmc 5.0 so launch times actually feel pretty darn snappy about as good as

00:06:28.319 --> 00:06:36.400
you can expect for a device that's you know this kind of a cost but so far

00:06:33.199 --> 00:06:37.840
i have one small problem still i can't

00:06:36.400 --> 00:06:42.960
figure out how to get out of this interface

00:06:41.280 --> 00:06:47.680
this like metro ui type thing and i can't figure

00:06:45.520 --> 00:06:53.280
out how to change the language so i have to call in a specialist here

00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:57.199
oh i look ugly now okay i can't tell the difference

00:06:55.199 --> 00:07:00.840
unless one day i'm gonna forget how to speak chinese you're not gonna pretend i

00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:05.759
can't speak chinese you're not gonna forget oh

00:07:03.919 --> 00:07:09.360
there we go so we can change the launcher in those settings so this is a

00:07:07.840 --> 00:07:13.440
more conventional Android launcher here's all your apps um

00:07:12.240 --> 00:07:19.280
what's that yes yeah it's fine i don't care

00:07:17.680 --> 00:07:22.479
okay so can we change your language to english

00:07:20.800 --> 00:07:27.680
let's see oh yeah you can change it

00:07:24.319 --> 00:07:30.000
does it say change to english in chinese

00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:32.479
because normally it says it in the yeah oh

00:07:31.039 --> 00:07:37.599
there we go english now okay okay okay

00:07:36.000 --> 00:07:41.120
okay thank you so overall impressions now that i've got

00:07:39.520 --> 00:07:44.880
it running in english actually not a bad little device there's

00:07:43.280 --> 00:07:48.080
still a lot of stuff that's not translated to be very clear i mean look

00:07:46.720 --> 00:07:53.919
at this like all the game names under the emulator

00:07:50.880 --> 00:07:57.680
menu are still in chinese uh for the

00:07:53.919 --> 00:08:00.800
super famicom same for the n64 like

00:07:57.680 --> 00:08:02.800
to be clear i would prefer if there was

00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:08.240
something like a gen 2 of an NVIDIA shield but for the price you're paying

00:08:05.840 --> 00:08:12.240
it's not bad if you're willing to go and like manually add google play services

00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:17.039
in the google play store and all that stuff because the hardware is pretty good it's got a six thousand milliamp

00:08:15.280 --> 00:08:21.039
hour battery so whether you're running Android games which should run better

00:08:19.280 --> 00:08:26.319
than last gen or whether you're running emulators which mostly should run better

00:08:23.440 --> 00:08:30.240
than last gen but certain ones like nintendo dolphin or wii emulators won't

00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:34.800
run because they require a 64-bit processor um the screen is actually

00:08:32.640 --> 00:08:39.120
surprisingly good so it's a 720p screen which personally i think is fine for a

00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:42.800
size like this it's ips it supports five-point multi-touch uh the storage i

00:08:40.959 --> 00:08:45.440
mentioned before is 32 gigs and it's expandable via microsd so i don't think

00:08:44.640 --> 00:08:50.399
you're going to find yourself disappointed if you're looking for a

00:08:48.080 --> 00:08:54.000
little device to play casual games and emulators on that you can throw in your

00:08:52.399 --> 00:08:58.640
pocket carry around with you not worry too much about busting up because i don't think it's going to be that

00:08:57.040 --> 00:09:02.399
expensive speaking of not being that expensive

00:09:00.480 --> 00:09:09.440
ting the mobile carrier that puts customer satisfaction first with ting

00:09:05.040 --> 00:09:12.160
you do not get put in a robot customer

00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:16.720
service rep tree instead you speak directly to a human if you have any

00:09:13.839 --> 00:09:21.440
issues and you do not pay a premium for that kind of service the average ting

00:09:18.720 --> 00:09:26.720
bill is just 23 bucks a month per device and that's because you only pay for

00:09:23.680 --> 00:09:29.360
exactly the air time that you use and

00:09:26.720 --> 00:09:34.160
they've got new lower mobile data rates as well the best part about ting is you

00:09:31.839 --> 00:09:38.560
don't have to take a leap of faith you just head over to Linus Linus.ting.com

00:09:36.399 --> 00:09:42.399
and use their savings calculator plug in your last couple of months of bills to

00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:45.920
find out if you'll save on ting and the best part is if you use our link which
