The Best Retro Handheld Under $90 Right Now [PowKiddy X55]

Lineage OS has been ported to the X55 too! I almost want to have a second system Micro SD with Lineage for streaming from my Xbox and PS5

My PowKiddy X55 is finally supposed to arrive tomorrow!!! Super excited! I have watched this video so many times 😅 I setup moonlight streaming on my PC, gathered my ROM collection, and flashed JELOS official to my Micro SD card so I can be ready 🎉🎉🎉

Does it come pre installed with all the games?

is this a touchscreen device?

Will it run Game Pass?

I just bought an X55. I removed the included games card from the system, copied the contents to my hard drive, then tried to send the contents to a 256GB Sandisk card. I keep getting errors trying to send the files to the Sandisk. I put the card into the X55, can see games, but the unit won't play most games I select.

Russ, thanks for the video.

I am new to retro handhelds and have several questions.
1. Is it possible to create my own system card with JELOS?
2. Is ArkOS or JELOS also possible to use moonlight for streaming?
3. I have a Batocera sd card for PC, can it be used on x55?
4. If my PC is botting from Batocera USB, can it stream to x55?

Thanks

x55 or Trimui Smart Pro?

Does this come with games or do you have to put them on the system?

I really like how when you give instructions for how to set up the OS, you give a fast, no BS run down of how. So many other how to videos of similar fashion take 5 minutes for what should be a 1 minute video.

Without jelos does it srill have all the nes games and can it still play on tv and 2 player?

I just got my x55 and it’s my first retro gaming handheld. It looks amazing but I realized quickly that there are so many setting and options that I have no clue about. I’d love an in depth video guide for first timers like me. 😅

what kind portable console you can recommend to play ps2 games without performance issues?

Powkiddy or retroid pocket 3+?

Where did you buy it?

Does is it come pre installed with all these games??

Why do you have to own a modern computer to program these “emulators”. Why can’t they just come ready to use.

does this play any ds games but all the pokemon ones fromt the ds system. been wanting to play them for nostalgia.

Hold a sec, you can play quake 3 on this device 😎

hello. where can i see moonlight streaming guide?

Russ X55 or rgb30? xmas for a one eyed gamer)
Skud

So can you use bluetooth headphones/earbuds with this?

Could it run ps2? Or is there one that can?

How can u play HI-FI Rush with this?! Can u play xbox games with cloud?

could you do this with android like transfer the sd card to my phone and do it that way?

Can u remote play ps5

Does this have Bluetooth connectivity?

Looking to replace my RG351P, this seems like the best fit at that price point, any other suggestions anyone ? 😊

If I have a Gamesir x2 xbox edition and a pixel 7 pro do I need a emulation device if it plays all games off the board?

Every device does seem to have some dumb flaw that ruins the whole thing.

where do you find good ports for this thing?

Powkiddy is so weird. They have the max 3 pro but it has a lower resolution screen for some reason.

Sorry so do these come with all these games or do you need to add them?

can any of these devices give a good PS2 performance or N3DS?

Need help!! I had the X55 for 2 months now and it’s already giving me problems. First off it shipped with a busted L1 button ( it’s cracked on the inside so it doesn’t press down all the time and also gets stuck. ) no biggie, still works fine, but yesterday I updated the controllers in the retroarch menu and now my built in controller won’t work when retroarch is launched for any of the cores and I can’t navigate the retroarch menu to check the settings. Tried connecting a Bluetooth controller, that didn’t work. Tried an external wired controller/keyboard they both didn’t work. Now I can’t play any games on the powkiddy X55. It’s basically useless. Any suggestions?

I'm in , thanks for the video and helping me decide whether to get it or not, I couldn't decide between the powkiddy x70 or this one the x55

So, this or the X28 ?

I'm new to stuff like this. Do you pay for games? Is it like steam?

Just got my Powkiddy X55 and this thing is great! The JELOS user experience is amazingly good! Just want to note, mine game with the latest JELOS available when shipped (the 10162023 version). Also, because of the updates, the HDMI video out worked perfectly (it showed rotated at first, but then it "applied Powkiddy X55 quirks" and voila! it appeared as it should). Thanks for your awesome work on your channel!

I wish you would spend more time on what games are preloaded if any at all

Hi,

leaning towards buying this with your link.
2 quick question=>
1. do these come with a game list installed like you showed ?
2. what extra storage capacity would you advise ?

What if any games come loaded on it?

How do I contact powkiddy support?
