Your thoughtfulness in selecting products for review, and consistent and compelling brand identity earn you a sub from the very first video of yours I saw.

​@@TechDweebGood afternoon ! Can you check how several games work on this console? *game for PGM: Demon Front * 2 Sega Dreamcast games: Dolphin Blue and Metal Slug 6?

received mine last week for only around 60€ (black friday) and it is just awesome for the price!! maybe the dpad too small but nice and I love the screen to play GBA in full ratio. The quality of the packaging is great and the handheld is lovely. It is great it comes with the UI from Trimui and I hope they keep upgrading to fit more games (TGCD) and enhance the quality! love it ❤ nice to see it in your channel!

They did a great job on this one and it especially looks radicool in that DMG inspired colorway 🔥

Between this review and the review on Joey's Retro Handhelds, I was convinced that I could benefit from a TrimUI Smart Pro. The price is good (I ended up buying it with the 64GB preloaded micro SD), and holy crap; you weren't joking about the 720P display! Dreamcast handles okay, but it really shines with the arcade games. I did a test run on SFIII: New Generation, and aside from one glitchy stage, it held up well. Then I dug up an arcade cult favorite: Martial Masters. Now THAT plays well on the Smart Pro! NES handles iffy, but the Gameboy games are a bit more precise. I'll be sticking with my Miyoo Mini Plus for most of my retro gaming, but the TrimUI Smart Pro will be my go-to for some big arcade action.

Hi sir , would you still recommend the trimui smart pro sinds you reviewed it ? Thx and greetings from Belgium

@@melvinsin641It's awesome if you prefer something more simple with a cleaner aesthetic, MinUI is all about ease of use and I'd give it a shot if you haven't before. Just know that it doesn't have analog stick support and has fewer supported emulators than stock OS.

Looks like a good replacement for my old GPD XD. If they're smart, they'll use the setup they have here as a platform for future models with incremental upgrades to the same form factor.

I needed this video about a week ago when I bought a retroid pocket 3 😆

If you had to choose between Trimui smart pro or Powkiddy x55 which at roughly the same price which would you choose? Is either more polished or better to use right out of the box?

The Trimui Brick is the one I've been waiting on!

Would you still recommend this, or would you prefer something else? Thank you for the review

how did you managed to make pico8 work on this? cant seem to wrap my head around pico8 emulation on this thing. Also I think you're running on a old version of the firmware. I think they have a new one 1.0.2. I love playing GBA and NDS on this one. GBA from hacks is best played on this screen.

Was that the pico8 Celeste near the end or the gba port? I found the gba port and have played it a bit on my analogue pocket but the screen is all tiny which makes it hard to play on that device.

Drove to the Retro Handheld Emulation Store, lmao. I wish I could do that

Ive honestly been now colllecting these things. And ordered more from aliexpress lol. Because cost effective. I do have a odin 2 so i can play whatever. But my kids are starting to love these older games. Espeically my youngest hes 3 starting him early on the old stuff. I might now pick one up.

I have the miyo mini and have been looking for something in this form factor to play Nintendo DS games.

I think the main reason this one isn't doing incredible is just because everybody who wanted a handheld in this size and form factor already has an rp3 or rp3+, this one rly only makes sense for people who don't have a widescreen retro handheld already

same comment i put on your XU10 video Anbernic ARC-S: has better CPU ok, smaller screen, but better ratio almost the same price has HDMI output (very important for me) has awesome 6 button configuration has wifi and BT ok, it has no fake/switchy analog controller, but do you really need it for the games that these devices can handel? or just go for POWKIDDY RGB30 all above, plus analog controller, and 720p screen! you're gonna buy two mSD cards for 30$, and shipping and tax ... then the price difference doesn't seem so much any more

Just recently got mine shipped from AliExpress for US$61.11 with a case and screen protector included Pity it can't play the Saturn well, but been looking forward to a larger screen upgrade from my Pocket Go V2 for a while now, and this one fit the bill Looking forward to add my Dreamcast library onto it when it arrives 👍

Also curious as to why you have near flawless PSP performance (for example God of War 11:03) but a few other reviewers on KZread apparently had issues with PSP. Did you have custom settings? Any idea why? Did they keep the toggle on power saving? Anyone else here can comment about psp performance?
