Thank you Shem! Very honest. And I agree on all fronts. BUT! part of the reasons why I gifted this to you would be to convince PowKiddy to make these open source, moddable, and have custom firmware… all of these would be in my opinion, fixes, to a broken device w nice hardware.

I'm not going to stop badgering PK for a fix. The X51 is so let down by the software it's criminal. I know they shouldn't exploit or rely on open source, but I'd rather have that than this broken proprietary rubbish. I like the X51 more than it deserves though for sure... "Potential" is a dangerous concept!

Your production values are top notch, mate. You’ll be next to pop off, I’m sure of it.

That means a lot, thank you very, very much. I've been a bit lacking in motivation recently, but will get back up on the horse!

I always appreciate an honest review and it's tragic that the company doesn't show any interest on getting better. Also, we just had a face reveal? 🤣 Great video!

UPDATE: I got this exact X51 Handheld Game Console from amazon, shipping with a diffrent type of SD Card. The SFC/SNES issue has been fixed, the FPS is now around 40-50 (my guess).

Very good review. Love your content about Miyoo and looking forward for your reviews of other handhelds! That said, you have chubby hands.

First of all Rob how dare you

How did you get the the settings? Mine came in Chinese and cannot figure out how to change it back. 😩

When you buy it(x51), what's the gb? Basic 32gb right? Or 64gb? Which one? I'm wondering that.

@@RetroBreezeYT Thanks for answer. Have a nice day. 👍

also you can't map the shoulder buttons on this. I have the X39 with this same software and apart from its shortcomings, for the price its pretty good. Favourites, search and history functions never appeared on budget devices in the past so its pretty good. I would assume that the software is generic third party and its not designed for the unit itself. Yes, there are alot of faults but you have thousands of games in your pocket for £50 or under, how good is that and all on the go. Its just a shame they don't all work perfectly

All very good points and I think that at first glance (again) the X51 should be really good for the price, but even with the dodgy d-pad its just so poor when basics like saving, adding games and weird file formats get in the way. I discovered today that it only supports PS1 in .IMG format. I've never even seen a PS1 game in that format hah!

Is this the only hand held that can do hdmi with controllers??? Great video btw 👍🏻
