GKD PIXEL 2 2.4-Inch Metal Portable Handheld Game Console

While not perfect it is extremely entertaining for a handheld nostalgia in cutesy form factor that fits perfectly in your pocket!

I own an r36s. I'd say that the r36s device (huge in comparison, the screen is only a bit smaller than the GKD PIXEL 2) is comparable to the GKD PIXEL 2 in many ways. Both can use some form of emulationstation as a backend. Also, they share a chipset if I'm not mistaken, but I could be. Both play up to PS1, PSP, NDS, N64 games, which is probably more of a catologue than any living human will ever need.

I'm surprised to say, but the GKD PIXEL 2 outplays the r36s by a mile, despite having the same exact catalogue and very similar specs. N64 is always a bit spotty with devices like these, and it is still slightly with the GKDP2, but overall better. The device, despite being more compact than my alternative pick, the r36s, is more accurate at displaying battery, more fluid with menu mappings, and more fluid with emulation. The only downfall is the lack of a stick prevents N64 and PSP from reaching true potential. But it's better than choppy 30fps.

I would say the performance, outside of the control setup, is very similar to that of a raspberry pi 4b running retropie, for any giganerds.

Also, I must clarify, I did NOT use LITNXT's stock MicroSD card nor the stock OS that it runs, which I believe is Rocknix (???). I used PlumOS on a PNY 64GB card. PlumOS is pretty good, but if you compare it to something like OnionOS for Miyoo Mini Plus and V4, you see it lacks things like the menu pausing into a save state. But it really does have all that there is to be needed to play your favorite games. I personally find this to be a great emulator for my DS games, like FFIII and LEGO Star Wars II. The guide to install plum is here.

Tldr it is soooo good for what I need it for.

PS I had the best experience with LITNXT getting mine shipped, despite delays. They gave me more than I asked for and I appreciate that.

Love it.
My eyes are too old to be playing on a 2.4 inch display but I still love it.
Spent hours tinkering with it to get it just right with a much smaller set of my own games as the custom ROM set that came with it was huge. Put TechDweeb's theme on the Emulation Station, Tried ALL the custom firmwares. Got my PC to scrape the artwork and videos for all > 8K games that were on the included SD card and a bunch of my own music files. It's been an amazing journey. Also got to join Dusty Game Society game of the month and played Brave Fencer Musashi from the PS1 on my 2.4 inch screen. Ridiculous but fun. Ridiculously fun.
Loving the tinkering and playing. Uber pocket friendly. And it's purple.

It's bulletproof, the screen is amazing and the sound from this is better than most full-size handhelds. How is something this small able to run Crazy Taxi 2 on Dreamcast?! I like that small enough to take with me everywhere. Love this little guy.

Changed my mind about the colour after I ordered, sent a message to customer service, they got back to me shortly and said no problem. Correct colour arrived. Thank you!
