It took me forever to tak about the Datafrog SF2000, but as always dragging back a bit gets me to find out what mods are available when a system really needs it.

People on social media (mostly reddit TBH) bash on this device because it can only emulate 7 systems (2 of which are admittedly hit or miss depending on the title)... However this is: -A sturdy device. -With IPS screen. -User-replaceable battery that is common enough to be found on pretty much any electronics shop. -Can also hook up on a TV for coop/vs. -And only costs 12-17 bucks (as of the time of this comment). In my book this is called a great deal. I guess those people have forgotten that Nintendo sold Game & Watch for 50 bucks and only including 2 or 3 roms in it?

@RetroZoltan Год назад

I completely agree. I got a lot of crap for making this a mostly positive review. Oh well!

Hi dude. Watching retro gaming channels like i never knew the games when they came out in my day? Now we got a POCKET SNES? Sign me up! Can this do CFW for other emulators? And maybe expandable memory, with hardware upgrades, as in replaceable onboard soldered memory?

@SassySlayer69 Год назад

Great video. Well edited, and informative. It would be cool to have something like this, as all the emulating I do on my phone, and touchscreen doesn't always lend well to retro games

@RetroZoltan Год назад

Thank you so much! It’s cheap so why not right?

@vincemartinelli9689 Год назад

Thanks for your heads up on being able to add games by just dragging and dropping them to the roms folder. I looked at the frog tool app, and it just seemed too complicated to use so I gave up. But now thanks to your video I can do it very easily. I really appreciate the tip!!!!👍

@RetroZoltan Год назад

I’m so glad to help! I admit I haven’t played with the tool too much but yeah the roms folder is an easy way to do it!

That thing about stopping and restarting emus does work, funny enough. It's like it works on memory or something, either way, it's faster than initial boot. So looking forward to mine. In the words of Queen "I Want it All!"

@Jabinho Год назад

chinese handheld manufacturers often seem to follow the same trajectory. they start out making a quaint handheld that does well, and then they just keep iterating on it, developing new models, and growing. it would be nice to see data frog come in with a new sf... the sf3000? add a headphone jack, reveal the chip for cfw, fix the face buttons, maybe throw in wifi, etc. would be nice to have another company to compete with anbernic and powkiddy.

@PhilipMarcYT Год назад

With those improvements you'd be better off just buying a more powerful handheld or an Everdrive-like cart for your preferred handheld since the price would obviously bump considerably from like $10 to $30 or $40.

@Jabinho Год назад

i think you've missed my point. the point is competition in the niche is good, and we could all benefit from data frog iterating on their first handheld.

Theres a gba fix, creating a new file path with a clean gba bios fixes the glitch. I know you have to use frogtool for something, but not exactly sure what, oh and frogtool will let you delete the menu music, change themes, and put different games on the home menu screens for each system. 👍

@RetroZoltan Год назад

I admit I didn’t use frog tool. I’m thinking it may become obsolete when/if custom firmware comes out. Curious about the GBA fix though I’m in on that!

@Everything-Wii 7 месяцев назад

One of the most impressive things about it to me, is that it's $20 and it has USB-C. I've bought high-expectation $150 headphones with micro usb. A nice feature for such a cheap handheld. But regardless, I was very happy with this purchase. The only con for me was not having a headphone jack.

@RetroZoltan 6 месяцев назад

@HPRshredder Год назад

I see the shoutout! Sorry I missed it. This seems like a nice system for the money being so cheap, but personally, I'd just spend a little more. I do think it's funny there are wireless controllers for a system that is itself a controller. And the idea of accessories for a $25 system is also entertaining lol. Still though, for the money, that's pretty solid. You could do a lot worse.

@IvQ 7 месяцев назад

i have one question (mostly about gameboy advance), games are lagging but are pokemon games lagging? this game is quite simple. and if you upload your own roms are they lagging exactly as originally instaled roms?

@RetroZoltan 7 месяцев назад

Good question. I suspect a Pokémon game won’t lag too much. Since it’s turn based and all I don’t think it would be too painful. The emulator will act the same no matter what ROMs so adding your own won’t make it slower/faster.I hope that helps?

@0LycanFX Год назад

Would be cool once CFW is available, but I wonder if there is a way to get 32x games running?

@IvQ 7 месяцев назад

@Mr.Monster1313 Год назад

It has blutooth? How did those other controllers connect ? ..id buy one..ok price for all that fun.

@RetroZoltan Год назад

It’s not Bluetooth (sadly) it’s only a short range wireless that works with the controllers you can buy for it only. (But maybe someone can figure out a way to mess with it in custom firmware? Hard to say)

@PhilipMarcYT Год назад

@@RetroZoltanOh! I too assumed they'd be BT controllers, but since they're not then it's kinda pointless thinking beyond its usability. Hopefully someone makes them BT-enabled. Google made their Stadia controllers BT-enabled after a firmware update which is available for a limited time? That's stupid. Mine is on BT Mode already.
