WEBVTT 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:06.640 pocket-sized game consoles have been around for a long time but you've always 00:00:04.319 --> 00:00:12.000 given something up for the privilege bad screens compromised gameplay and 00:00:08.960 --> 00:00:14.559 controls juggling game cartridges 00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:19.520 what if there were a way around all that let's enter the world of unofficial 00:00:16.880 --> 00:00:24.480 handhelds that actually promise a good pocket gaming experience and if you're 00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:26.800 after a good toolkit experience 00:00:24.480 --> 00:00:30.720 ifixit has just the right thing for you learn more about the manta toolkit and 00:00:28.480 --> 00:00:39.280 it's 112 steel bits with two premium drivers at the end of the video 00:00:39.280 --> 00:00:46.559 when you think gaming handhelds depending on your age you might think of 00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:48.320 nintendo or sony or sega 00:00:46.559 --> 00:00:51.680 probably in that order you know big companies from japan 00:00:50.079 --> 00:00:55.280 the first mental image you probably have of anything else is something like what 00:00:53.600 --> 00:01:00.640 soulja boy was passing off as his own designs and yet these devices 00:00:58.640 --> 00:01:05.760 came from a different country entirely none of them came from japan and each 00:01:03.760 --> 00:01:10.320 has a different design and gameplay philosophy at their core they all share 00:01:08.159 --> 00:01:14.080 one common trait they're designed for running retro console emulators but 00:01:12.080 --> 00:01:18.000 that's not all they are they're fully functional computers built around ARM 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:23.280 processors running Linux or Android the ann burneck rg 351m is easily the most 00:01:21.280 --> 00:01:27.680 premium feeling of the three with a solid aluminum enclosure twin USB-C 00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:32.799 ports and premium feeling sticks and buttons the retroid pocket 2 is a much 00:01:30.240 --> 00:01:37.360 lighter unit with a larger 4x3 display more ergonomic shoulder buttons and a 00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:42.640 micro HDMI output finally the odroid ghost super has a massive screen 00:01:39.600 --> 00:01:44.320 full-size usb type-a port and is that a 00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:49.920 gpio header yeah it is so let's play a game without 00:01:47.920 --> 00:01:52.960 looking any of these up where did they come from 00:01:50.960 --> 00:01:56.000 one of them is from south korea and the other two are from china i'll tell you 00:01:54.560 --> 00:02:00.079 which at the end of the video let's start off with the amber neck rg 351m 00:01:58.320 --> 00:02:05.280 this is a really chunky unit it's a unibody aluminum enclosure 00:02:02.399 --> 00:02:08.000 it's got twin usb type-c ports on the top one for charging and one for 00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:12.480 peripherals although you can use the charging one for peripherals as well the headphone jack 00:02:10.959 --> 00:02:16.959 uh on the bottom we've got a reset button a 00:02:14.400 --> 00:02:20.879 micro sd card slot which they label tf because of course they do it's for trans 00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:25.120 flash on the right hand side we've got this volume wheel and 00:02:22.800 --> 00:02:28.640 the placement is really unfortunate this is where your hand's going to go when 00:02:26.239 --> 00:02:32.560 you're playing games maybe you're on a bus or something and you hit a bump 00:02:30.480 --> 00:02:35.760 it's just going to either blast you with something out of your headphones or it's 00:02:33.840 --> 00:02:39.360 going to blast the entire area around you with noise on the front we've got 00:02:37.200 --> 00:02:42.000 our d-pad feels alright it's a little stiff 00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:46.640 the sticks here they feel pretty good they're rubberized 00:02:43.920 --> 00:02:46.640 and they click in 00:02:46.959 --> 00:02:51.920 nice and we've got our four face buttons start and select 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:59.120 on the top we've got those usb type c ports again but we also have two l r buttons they're 00:02:56.239 --> 00:03:03.920 staggered this way instead of vertically so it's a little awkward to get to then 00:03:01.200 --> 00:03:08.000 around back all you've got are four hex screws which can be opened with a number 00:03:05.840 --> 00:03:12.319 four hex screw on an ifixit kit or an allen key and we've got these two 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:18.159 actually rather nice little rubber pads they don't look like they do much but uh 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:22.640 they do much all right let's turn it on this is running three five one elec it's 00:03:20.400 --> 00:03:28.080 actually a version of mu elec that is specifically designed or specifically 00:03:25.280 --> 00:03:31.360 modified for this system and it's plastic version and they all share the 00:03:30.480 --> 00:03:39.280 same hardware under the hood in this case it's a rockchip 3326 soc that's a quad 00:03:35.840 --> 00:03:41.519 core with a mali g31 mp2 GPU for those 00:03:39.280 --> 00:03:43.599 of you who actually care now this 00:03:42.400 --> 00:03:48.720 came with a number of games 00:03:45.599 --> 00:03:51.200 preloaded which is not necessarily the 00:03:48.720 --> 00:03:55.599 most legal thing in the world but uh you know what we'll we'll go with it the 00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:59.040 interface is basically the same as what you would get on a raspberry pi running 00:03:57.200 --> 00:04:01.920 emulation station and that's because it mostly is 00:04:00.400 --> 00:04:05.680 it's just there's not a whole lot of operating system happening underneath 00:04:03.599 --> 00:04:09.840 you can set game settings globally or by game so right now we've got the game 00:04:07.680 --> 00:04:13.519 ratio the aspect ratio of the screen set to be core provided so it'll change 00:04:11.519 --> 00:04:17.600 depending on which system you're running and we've got the scaling set to sharp 00:04:16.079 --> 00:04:21.519 bilinear which i'm sure taren will appreciate it looks the best on these 00:04:19.759 --> 00:04:25.440 low resolution screens as far as i'm concerned speaking of the screen it's 00:04:23.199 --> 00:04:30.000 480 by 320 pixels and that's a two by three ratio that means your scaling is 00:04:27.199 --> 00:04:33.759 not going to be clean for 240p games so that sharp bilinear filter will come in 00:04:32.240 --> 00:04:39.199 handy however what this 480 pixel width is perfect for 00:04:36.960 --> 00:04:43.040 is psp games that's a one-to-one scale with a little bit of letterboxing it's a 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:46.720 good compromise it's not the most loud thing in the world this is 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:51.840 100 volume you're probably gonna want headphones input lag 00:04:48.960 --> 00:04:54.240 by default is usually pretty bad here uh and this is common across all these 00:04:53.199 --> 00:04:59.520 consoles you're going to need to set up your emulator in order to get the best 00:04:57.440 --> 00:05:04.960 possible results from it usually that means setting up power GPU sync and 00:05:03.040 --> 00:05:09.199 setting up run ahead that'll get you a little bit better of an experience it's 00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:12.080 still got some input lag but for the most part is 00:05:12.320 --> 00:05:18.400 pretty much fine input lag will be a little bit worse 00:05:15.520 --> 00:05:23.199 with netplay yeah this thing has wi-fi built in so it can actually either 00:05:20.639 --> 00:05:27.680 connect to other amber nick devices that have wi-fi 00:05:24.400 --> 00:05:29.600 or it can connect to retroids with wi-fi 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:33.199 or it can also connect to theoretically a pc or a raspberry pi 00:05:32.320 --> 00:05:39.600 running retroarch because that's what's behind all of this here press these two buttons 00:05:36.800 --> 00:05:44.320 in and you get retro arch unfortunately not all cores support netplay 00:05:41.840 --> 00:05:48.160 your mileage may vary but it's a pretty cool feature that honestly is 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:53.680 something that i would have loved to have as a kid that's not to say that all it can do is 00:05:51.280 --> 00:05:57.840 16-bit games like super nintendo this will actually run n64 games playstation 00:05:56.160 --> 00:06:01.280 games and i mean depending on your definition of run they'll run dreamcast 00:05:59.600 --> 00:06:05.280 games as well although those will run at about half speed it might be okay for 00:06:03.280 --> 00:06:08.800 some games but the console's library is primarily made up of faster paced games 00:06:06.960 --> 00:06:12.960 so it's not that great but i mean that is asking a lot unfortunately and this 00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:17.360 may or may not be a deal breaker for you the usb type-c ports cannot be used for 00:06:15.600 --> 00:06:21.199 display output only for peripherals and charging so there's no way of getting 00:06:19.600 --> 00:06:25.039 capture off of this that's why we're recording with a second camera now let's 00:06:23.039 --> 00:06:29.360 take a look at the retroid pocket 2. this handheld is 00:06:26.720 --> 00:06:32.639 significantly more plastic in fact it's all plastic except for the screen which 00:06:31.039 --> 00:06:37.360 is tempered glass it's got a different kind of feel to it the face buttons are 00:06:34.960 --> 00:06:42.720 all micro switches including the d-pad not something i'm a huge fan of however 00:06:39.440 --> 00:06:44.240 it does have staggered l r switches 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:48.160 which is much more ergonomic in my opinion this actually feels really nice 00:06:45.919 --> 00:06:52.160 in the hand we've got a micro HDMI output here that is gonna rub some 00:06:50.000 --> 00:06:56.000 people the wrong way but uh it's the only one here that has any kind of 00:06:53.919 --> 00:06:59.680 display out but it does do usb type-c charging and i believe this also 00:06:57.520 --> 00:07:04.080 supports peripherals as well this is a traditional type stick i don't know why 00:07:01.440 --> 00:07:08.319 but this is just a slider yeah it's like the 3ds it doesn't feel 00:07:06.160 --> 00:07:13.280 great it kind of like hitches a little bit and also it kind of turns a lot more 00:07:11.520 --> 00:07:19.039 than you might expect nothing on the sides and on the bottom we've got a headphone 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:21.120 jack and a micro sd card slot which is 00:07:19.039 --> 00:07:25.039 held in by this uh nice rubber grommet under the hood this thing runs a 00:07:22.639 --> 00:07:29.680 mediatek mt6580a it's still a quad core soc but the GPU 00:07:27.680 --> 00:07:33.440 is much weaker than the rock chip and so is the CPU it's it's just slower across 00:07:31.840 --> 00:07:38.240 the board is that going to hold it back though maybe maybe not let's power it on 00:07:35.840 --> 00:07:42.880 you probably notice the display is a 4x3 it's actually 640 by 480 so this makes 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:46.319 most scaling completely straightforward everything pretty much will scale up to 00:07:44.400 --> 00:07:51.280 that no problem however i still recommend the sharp bilinear scaler 00:07:48.000 --> 00:07:53.759 because nes and snes titles those run at 00:07:51.280 --> 00:07:58.400 a weird resolution 256x224 it uh it takes a minute to boot there's 00:07:55.680 --> 00:08:02.639 a reason for that though it runs Android yeah this is Android 6 with the play 00:08:00.479 --> 00:08:05.759 store included it is upgradable to 8.1 if you want to do that but you probably 00:08:04.240 --> 00:08:10.000 don't want to do that one of the things about this is that you can change the 00:08:07.440 --> 00:08:14.800 controls to either emulate a mouse a touch input or a gamepad and that might 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:17.680 seem like a great idea but in reality it's 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:20.560 not so good because you kind of need it to navigate throughout the operating 00:08:19.199 --> 00:08:23.840 system there are some things that you just cannot do with the gamepad alone 00:08:22.319 --> 00:08:29.680 and there are some things like gaming that you cannot do with the mouse alone there's a few things pre-loaded on here 00:08:26.879 --> 00:08:33.919 none of them are pirated so that's a big plus in its favor if you you know prefer 00:08:31.599 --> 00:08:38.719 not to pirate your games there is a game that nintendo did take down 00:08:35.599 --> 00:08:40.240 though am2r unfortunately nintendo 00:08:38.719 --> 00:08:44.399 completely nuked that from orbit but it's here it also includes flycast which 00:08:42.399 --> 00:08:50.080 is a dreamcast emulator classic boy a gameboy emulator n64 emulator 00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:53.680 psp emulator and of course retro arch it also has moonlight which is a NVIDIA 00:08:52.560 --> 00:08:58.320 shield kind of emulator so you can cast to this 00:08:56.160 --> 00:09:02.399 device as well as steam link i don't know if you want to do that do you want 00:08:59.680 --> 00:09:05.519 to play your games in sd at 4x3 probably not but the option is there if 00:09:04.000 --> 00:09:09.920 you really want to the start of the show is of course retroarch just like before 00:09:07.279 --> 00:09:14.080 unfortunately because this runs Android none of it feels very cohesive in order 00:09:12.399 --> 00:09:18.959 to load content you need to go through your sd card and kind of just manually 00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:22.640 pick it all out so it's more versatile than you would think but at the same 00:09:20.480 --> 00:09:26.959 time because it has Android it's a lot clunkier than you would expect and 00:09:24.800 --> 00:09:30.560 hope there is one thing that kind of redeems it there's an icon here for 00:09:28.560 --> 00:09:33.680 what's called retroid hit that 00:09:31.600 --> 00:09:37.200 reboot to retro pocket operating system yeah let's do it it's like an older 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:41.120 version of Android i think it must be ice cream sandwich or something it has 00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:44.959 the hollow ui but it's running a custom launcher and presumably it has very few 00:09:43.120 --> 00:09:47.760 background tasks running so it's similar in spirit 00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:52.800 to what you got on the amber neck unfortunately as you might see here we don't have any 00:09:50.880 --> 00:09:58.640 games installed that's because it actually uses a weird folder layout that 00:09:56.959 --> 00:10:03.040 is different from the folder layout that you would normally be using so you kind 00:10:00.640 --> 00:10:08.080 of have to choose whether you want to use it in retro pocket mode 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:11.279 like this or in Android mode like before the problem with Android mode of course 00:10:09.760 --> 00:10:15.200 is that if you've got wi-fi connected google play is going to do stuff in the background and there's just going to be 00:10:13.920 --> 00:10:19.519 all kinds of things that will make your experience less 00:10:17.200 --> 00:10:22.480 good oh yeah and the screen is not a touch screen 00:10:21.040 --> 00:10:25.680 and uh these sticks do not click in that'll 00:10:24.399 --> 00:10:30.480 also make your experience a little less good and considering that it runs Android and none of it's pre-customized 00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:35.279 it means you have to set up all your emulators all the settings for them pretty much as soon as you get the 00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:39.279 machine you you can't quite just plug and play it some things will work like 00:10:36.880 --> 00:10:41.600 that but for the best experience you should actually set all your emulators 00:10:40.640 --> 00:10:45.360 up they agree overall though it's pretty 00:10:43.680 --> 00:10:49.920 solid once you get it all set up i mean it can do a lot of the things that the and bernice 00:10:47.920 --> 00:10:53.200 can do they can play n64 games and it's not much of an issue but 00:10:51.680 --> 00:10:57.519 it just takes a little bit more doing which is where the odroid go super comes 00:10:55.760 --> 00:11:01.200 in if the amber neck was a chunker this is significantly larger although it's 00:10:59.440 --> 00:11:05.440 not quite as heavy i don't think because it's made of plastic it's kind of like a 00:11:03.120 --> 00:11:10.320 switch light except the analog sticks are hanging out down at the bottom and 00:11:08.240 --> 00:11:14.480 those analog sticks unfortunately like they rock okay 00:11:11.920 --> 00:11:18.160 they're kind of smooth but the sticks themselves 00:11:15.760 --> 00:11:22.399 they're hard plastic with a sharp edge they dig into your finger they're not 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:26.240 pleasant to use the rest of the buttons feel okay with the d-pad being a little 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:29.519 mushy it's kind of weird to feel a diagonal like that it feels like 00:11:27.680 --> 00:11:33.279 nothing's moving but yeah these are all membrane buttons 00:11:30.959 --> 00:11:37.440 these are tactile switches these are just rubber 00:11:34.959 --> 00:11:42.240 and uh these shoulder buttons on the top those are tacked out as well also on the 00:11:39.120 --> 00:11:43.920 top we've got volume controls kind of a 00:11:42.240 --> 00:11:47.360 weird spot for them you can't really there's there's no way to get at them 00:11:45.760 --> 00:11:52.320 during gameplay so that's a bit of an issue and we've also got a usb type-c 00:11:50.160 --> 00:11:56.720 which is for charging only as far as i know 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:58.480 as well as a full-size usb type a 00:11:56.720 --> 00:12:03.120 that is interesting 00:11:59.920 --> 00:12:05.360 what's even more interesting is this 00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:09.760 yeah those are gpio pins this is actually based on 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:13.440 the odroid single board computer it's like a raspberry pi it's just they've 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:16.959 got the rock chip down on the bottom we've just got a uh micro sd card slot 00:12:15.920 --> 00:12:22.000 i'm just going to steal the one out of the retro on the back we've got 00:12:19.360 --> 00:12:25.279 a rather large vent here there's no fan and i can't see heat sinks either so 00:12:24.079 --> 00:12:31.040 it's kind of weird that that's there and there's the speaker the first thing you'll notice when we power this thing 00:12:27.920 --> 00:12:34.160 on is it's got a 16 by nine screen it's 00:12:31.040 --> 00:12:35.120 a five inch screen i think a 480p wide 00:12:34.160 --> 00:12:40.959 so 854 by 480 it's pretty bright it looks 00:12:38.399 --> 00:12:45.279 great why the oddball resolution well having a 16 by 9 screen at this 00:12:43.760 --> 00:12:50.639 resolution means that you can actually use 16x9 games so say you've got a 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:55.040 widescreen hack for super mario world or you've got playstation portable games 00:12:52.880 --> 00:12:57.920 etc these will fill the entire screen then you just need to deal with litter 00:12:56.639 --> 00:13:01.839 boxing for other types of games if you buy one of 00:12:59.760 --> 00:13:05.279 these for yourself probably the first thing you'll notice 00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:08.639 when you turn it on is you don't have an operating system that's because it 00:13:06.720 --> 00:13:13.440 doesn't come with one they recommend or at least a link to ubuntu 00:13:11.200 --> 00:13:19.040 minimal which is frankly a terrible experience i went 00:13:15.839 --> 00:13:20.880 and got emulek for this just like the 00:13:19.040 --> 00:13:24.000 amber neck here so it uses a pretty similar interface it's a little bit 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:27.600 different but it has pretty much the same settings i don't know what's going 00:13:25.440 --> 00:13:31.600 on with this theme but it's it's kind of terrifying like all of these things just 00:13:29.680 --> 00:13:35.120 look wrong under the hood this thing actually has the same amount of power as 00:13:33.279 --> 00:13:38.959 the amber neck in fact it's very similar to the and bernick in pretty much all 00:13:37.519 --> 00:13:43.600 aspects except for the fact that it's got a little bit of a 00:13:40.959 --> 00:13:46.639 more plastic build quality to it and it's 00:13:45.040 --> 00:13:49.920 got that larger screen this is another scenario where you kind of have to tune 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:54.000 the emulator to get the best performance out of it this thing is not going to be 00:13:51.680 --> 00:13:56.800 able to play n64 games with like the most quality possible you're certainly 00:13:55.519 --> 00:14:01.760 not going to upscale them it's worth noting that there is an overclock option in the settings they do say that it can 00:14:00.079 --> 00:14:05.360 cause instability and i have seen instability happen your mileage may vary 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:09.920 there but it might get you that extra little bit towards being perfectly 00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:13.120 playable get back to the menus just hit these two buttons here 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:17.839 on the outside and yeah look at that it's retroarch again overall i'd say the 00:14:15.360 --> 00:14:21.519 odroid is a hacker friendly but a little bit hacky 00:14:19.600 --> 00:14:26.639 solution it's got a lot of buttons certainly a great concept but it's also 00:14:24.720 --> 00:14:30.959 really no surprise why amber neck uses these designs to make a much more 00:14:28.720 --> 00:14:34.320 polished product the only major downside to the odroid compared to the rest of 00:14:32.480 --> 00:14:38.160 these consoles is that in order to get wireless for multiplayer or any other 00:14:36.079 --> 00:14:42.160 functionality you need to buy an aftermarket adapter now they sell it for 00:14:40.399 --> 00:14:44.959 about nine dollars on their website so it's not a big deal but it would have 00:14:43.519 --> 00:14:50.240 been nice if they could have found a way to include it in the chassis it's certainly big enough to do it so how did 00:14:48.160 --> 00:14:55.440 this burgeoning class of devices come to be well it all started with the gamepark 00:14:52.079 --> 00:14:57.279 gp32 in 2001. the gp32 was the first of 00:14:55.440 --> 00:15:00.880 its kind in offering expandable storage in a commonly available format along 00:14:59.279 --> 00:15:04.639 with official homebrew support this combined with the relatively powerful 00:15:02.639 --> 00:15:09.760 for the time and easy to develop for ARM CPU led to emulators and public domain 00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:14.160 software exploding on the device and all of its successors ultimately this was a 00:15:12.240 --> 00:15:18.959 niche in its day and game park declared bankruptcy in 2007. just in time for 00:15:16.800 --> 00:15:22.959 homebrew on more mainstream but are also still early storage enabled handhelds 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:27.120 like the sony psp and nintendo ds to take off i actually used to daily carry 00:15:24.959 --> 00:15:31.040 my psp as an mp3 player and a retro console emulator and my ps vita 00:15:29.360 --> 00:15:35.120 continued that legacy when i got one although by then my smartphone had taken 00:15:32.959 --> 00:15:38.880 over mp3 player duty but nintendo and sony didn't take kindly to their 00:15:36.880 --> 00:15:43.600 consoles being used for what they saw as software piracy on still active consoles 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:46.959 and they played a constant game of cat and mouse with exploit developers and 00:15:45.040 --> 00:15:50.560 flash cartridge vendors clearly there's a market for handhelds with emulation 00:15:48.880 --> 00:15:54.000 capabilities so with the broad availability of mobile cpus thanks to 00:15:52.560 --> 00:15:58.399 smartphones and single board computers like the raspberry pi 00:15:55.600 --> 00:16:02.079 and low-cost microsd storage why not build your own with that in mind the 00:16:00.079 --> 00:16:05.759 smartphones themselves may be an option if you really want to but unless you're 00:16:03.680 --> 00:16:09.199 still rocking a playstation phone there will always be a trade-off between 00:16:07.120 --> 00:16:12.160 carrying an unwieldy controller or settling for on-screen controls it gets 00:16:11.040 --> 00:16:15.920 subscribed by the way because we're going to look at a bunch of weird 00:16:14.480 --> 00:16:21.600 controllers that have been released over the years and you're probably not going to want to miss that despite this demand 00:16:19.759 --> 00:16:26.880 and these consoles stepping up to fill it piracy is still the elephant in the room 00:16:24.800 --> 00:16:30.399 and as much as we don't like to admit it it almost comes part and parcel with 00:16:28.880 --> 00:16:34.000 these devices none of these handhelds come with a way 00:16:31.920 --> 00:16:39.040 to dump your own cartridges and while there are devices like the retro to that 00:16:36.160 --> 00:16:45.120 do it's limited in scope and the costs can add up quickly if you buy 00:16:40.560 --> 00:16:47.199 attachments like the game boy or n64 or 00:16:45.120 --> 00:16:51.199 or the other ones it only does genesis and snes out of the box cd-rom systems 00:16:49.360 --> 00:16:55.199 like the playstation are easy to deal with if you've got an optical drive but 00:16:53.440 --> 00:16:59.519 those are among the more difficult games to get running well so 00:16:57.600 --> 00:17:03.440 you're trading one difficulty for another i can't recommend or condone 00:17:01.920 --> 00:17:07.120 piracy but nintendo at all 00:17:05.120 --> 00:17:11.120 don't sell roms for you to download legally and with gabe newell's famous 00:17:08.959 --> 00:17:15.199 quote in mind you can see why it's the option most people go for even if it is 00:17:13.199 --> 00:17:20.880 illegal but let's assume that you actually did back up your own roms can i 00:17:18.720 --> 00:17:25.520 recommend or condone any of these absolutely the odroid ghost super from 00:17:23.199 --> 00:17:30.720 south korea is 80 and it gets you a strong CPU the retro pocket 2 from china 00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:35.039 is 80 and gets you a better feeling controller a more familiar os and a 00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:39.440 smaller more thoughtful form factor the amber nick also from china 00:17:37.200 --> 00:17:43.280 is the most expensive but features the most polished design and comes in metal 00:17:41.360 --> 00:17:47.840 or plastic though the less expensive plastic version doesn't have wi-fi much 00:17:45.120 --> 00:17:50.799 like the odroid these are a great relatively inexpensive way to carry your 00:17:49.520 --> 00:17:56.799 retro game collection around in your pocket and frankly i am super glad they 00:17:54.640 --> 00:18:01.200 exist just like i'm glad that ifixit sponsored this video because their manta 00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:04.559 kit has 112 steel bits that can actually open either of these consoles comes 00:18:03.120 --> 00:18:08.720 complete with standard phillips bits flathead and also torques tri-point and 00:18:06.960 --> 00:18:12.080 game bits as well these these don't use game bits thankfully the kit includes 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:15.760 not one but two aluminum screwdriver handles including a hefty quarter inch 00:18:14.080 --> 00:18:19.200 drive for full-size applications at a smaller four millimeter for precision 00:18:17.360 --> 00:18:23.760 work and they both feature magnetic bit sockets knurled grips and silky smooth 00:18:21.679 --> 00:18:27.919 spinning tops the toolkit's lid doubles as a sorting tray just like their ifixit 00:18:25.679 --> 00:18:31.440 protect tool kit that i have over here and all ifixit kits are backed by a 00:18:29.840 --> 00:18:36.320 lifetime warranty if something breaks they'll replace it for free visit ifixit.com forward slash LTT and pick up 00:18:34.880 --> 00:18:39.520 your man-to-kit today thanks for watching guys go check out a similar 00:18:38.160 --> 00:18:45.840 video we did a little while ago on a portable wii it's a good video i got to 00:18:41.600 --> 00:18:45.840 dremel a wii motherboard very satisfying
