Title: Do You Play Homebrew Knock Off Consoles Or HandHelds?
Post by: oldgamerz on June 02, 2020, 08:10:49 pm

I do sometimes. All of these I have had myself "Except The Red One" and, they were sturdy and well built knock offs in my opinion,

topic is also concerning the more popular AtGames Consoles and especially the Jakks Pacific and TV Games branded ones as well.
I've also had seen some weak ones that did not work as well including a knock off Wii console that would crash 100% of the time when using the d-pad.

I had and play all of these except for the RED handheld named "Handheld Game Console, Retro Mini Game Player with 500 Classic FC Games"

I don't know what to call these so bare with me. Do you have any experience with both the ATgames and Jakks Pacific plug in plays as well as the Excalibur one in the first photo? I played all the ones listed except the red one and they are well built and play nicely

Nope, and probably never will.

I only had a Batman plug-in-play years ago, but I've sold that one.

Was pretty alright I guess.

Generally no, because I'm really not into the consoles a lot of those cover. My brother did buy me one of the atari joystick plugins years ago as a gift- it was def cool and worth the cheap proce, but not something I'd play more than a couple times here or there for nostalgia. I think they are a great cheaper option than getting the original consoles and stacks of games though, as long as they are legit.

I only like the portable ones, like a portable snes or genesis.

I think some people is selling a knockoff that can run most 32bits consoles and older ones, maybe the most interesting one is the mame emulator, because a working good portable mame emulator is something we have been asking for.

But I am not open to pay more than 60$.

The Namco ones are pretty good.
