I was lucky enough to be gifted a #Powkiddy#RGB30 handheld for my birthday, and I've had a few weeks to play with it now... So what's it like?
Well, it's great... it's big selling point is the lovely 1:1 screen, which is big, bright and clear. It makes it absolutely perfect for #Gameboy, #NGPC and #GameGear games, as well as #NES and #SNES at 8:7. Gameboy Color is especially nice on it.
I got the yellow version, which is close to "spice orange" in person, for fans of that GameCube variant.
@davetansley oh Metal Slug from #ngpc. Nice device, ideas looking for one that was perfect for GameBoy and NGPC, I bookmark this repot for a later buy. Thank you for the tip.
I never was impressed with most of the hardware @PowKiddy had released but this looks right up my alley. This will be perfect for my 8-bit and 16-bit collection. I have mine ordered so I'll report back with a review. In the meantime, who has it and what do you think? #powkiddyrgb30#powkiddy#retrotech#retro#retrogaming#podcast#sundaymorning
@retroactivepodcast@PowKiddy that does look pretty nice. My son has a Powkiddy that works pretty well, but quality wise it feel inferior to Miyoo handhelds.

The PowKiddy #RGB20S is a great device, but the SD cards provided by PowKiddy are of notoriously poor quality. You'll find plenty of reports online from RGB20S owners whose games have suddenly disappeared, or whose device will no longer boot. These are invariably caused by SD card failures....

The white bars should actually contain some text, but you may need a magnifying glass to be able to read it. If the text says something about voltage, charge the device for a good few hours at least....
