These portable PS2 consoles from Aliexpress are so odd… who is making these?? 😂 Even more interesting that I can plug in a PS5 and play it on a portable PS2. Playing PS5 on a portable PS2 inside of a Wii U gamepad… just weird lol. Which console is your favorite?

The USB is a deal breaker for me as it will cause issues (stuttering) in some games especially in FMVs.

Seeing as though they have memory cards inside, I'm sure you could install mx4sio.

@TobiTheX Год назад

One of them has a MX4SIO, which is a bit faster then USB 1.1

@Merrulas Год назад

The Wii U Gamepad screen has some cooler colors so that actually doesn't surprise me. Probably using the real Wii U gamepad display from one that is working but in poor condition, this would maybe explain why they decided to used an aftermarket Gamepad shell.

The one that you didn't know what the design was based on looks very similar to those ds consoles with broken upper screens that people make into gameboys, just the square shape, the triggers, and the protruding screen just screamed ds to me lol

@TheV3T3R4NGaming Год назад

There's definitely a margin in these products, there's a huge market in china for repurposed tech. I imagine they're bulk buying in PS2s and other possibly faulty or just scuffed up consoles and repurposing them. Yes there's R&D into it but custom pcbs are cheap & handhelds are becoming popular again so parts like the screens and batteries are getting cheaper (plus labour is cheap in china). Another example of over-engineered repurposed tech would be laptop GPUs that are being turned into desktop compatible PCI-E cards, which are in quite the abundance at the moment. Tbh this is my favourite type of tech because of how clever the engineering is in some of it. Plus i mean if I had the means to bulk buy in PS2s for probably between $10-40 per console and then repurpose and resell them for like $500 i would. These companies likely make some smaller tech products so have their own in-house production and design engineers. Selling just a couple of these consoles is likely paying for the consoles alone, and the multiple revisions is likely just trying to find a design that will sell the best, once they've got a 'best seller' they'll likely hone in on that. Watch Linus Tech Tips' video on the chinese setups if you want an insight into the culture of repurposing old tech/appliances.

@Splackavellie85 Год назад

Good video. While these things might have been an interesting concept a few years ago, there’s no way to justify buying one of these when a $400 Steam Deck runs the entire PS2 library better than the PS2 and does MUCH more than just that.

@ryangranada2814 Год назад

I like the concept of a PS2 as a portable as much as the next guy, but it's still $500-$600 for a clunky plastic mess. Like I said it's great idea but not great on delivery. People liked the PSP because it has features the PS2 had and more. But I'm hoping this is in the right way of exposing PS2 tech to new tech. In hopes of seeing a masterpiece. But you'd expect things to get ugly in the development of working masterpiece. Great video Jacob R.

@nevadaxelizabeth 2 месяца назад

the wiiu pad is amazing because its actually really smart, and a great usage for these, or for any kind of aftermarket portable console project, since the gamepad is literally useless without the wiiu and surely theres a healthy supply of those.

@addyrocks1996 Год назад

If they are making a 300 dollar profit and selling even 2-4 a month the seller is making around 600 to 1200 dollars in profit doing something he/she loves, also 600-1200 in china/asia would be a pretty decent monthly salary.
