Game Gadget Review – The New Open Source Portable Emulator

Here it is my friends!

 

It was originally codenamed the “MU”, however it’s official now and the final production name is called the “Game Gadget”.

 

This is a tradeshow review from a good half an hour hands-on experience that I had with the unit. Overall, I must say that this unit is pretty sweet. from all the available handheld gaming emulators, this one is going to win the heart of everyone. And yes, I can hear your thoughts.

 

You are probably saying “But it only plays Sega”…but then I think to myself, “Read My Title” of this post and start making those gears turn.

 

Below is a video review of the new Game Gadget soon to release here in the states:

 

 

If you want to know if it’s more solid, and better than the Dingoo the answer is a resounding yes! So do yourself a favor and preorder the game gadget now!

    Can I ask if you are associated with the Company? Your review stands out like a beacon as close to the only good one. Most have been scathing. GamesTM magazine has a review in their latest issue, covering it’s cheap build, poor games, buggy software and OS, and possibly the worst customer service in the gaming industry. Care to comment?

      I’m not associated with the company. I’m with DasReviews.com just as I comment in my videos. The unit itself stands as an open source device. Hence the “bugginess”, many open source OS’s have bugs (The Dingoo had a ton, until fans stepped forward and started developing for it). The games are generally Sega games, and they’re been whored out everywhere. The bottom line is if you are just looking to play Sega games on it, then maybe you have a comment, however I’ve used a hacked version and it plays everything from soup to nuts. However in this interview I obviously am not going to cover that at a show of this caliber. As for customer service, I can’t issue on statement on that, but I do know that there are a ton of people that will ask “how do I do this” and “how do I do that”…which in all honesty if you are looking to break this thing wide open, then you need to genuinely know what you are doing as I can imagine the company that produces this will not advocate that due to licensing issues. As for the feeling and display of the unit as well, I liked it. I don’t speak for others, just for myself.

      Oh, and I also don’t speak for the released version that stands outside the US. Just the units that I played on which are beta units for the US release.
