GPD Win - The first windows handheld

[jastolze]

man, a real pc gamer seeks the quality over the portability, otherwise self building a gaming pc would lose any sense.

"A real pc gamer" Are you implying that I'm not a REAL PC Gamer? Because I'm like 85% certain I'm real lol.
It's fine that you have your stance, but you don't speak for everyone, like myself.

Me I would not mind if it was bigger to accommodate the Shoulder Buttons/Triggers being in a better Place. Not to mention having it so Users can Upgrade the Device's Internal Components to their liking. Not to mention a Screen that would accept Pens like the Galaxy Note or the Surface Pro Devices for better Screen Accuracy.

Hey Smoky, SurfaceProGamer wrote in his video he'd used Japan v1.0 bios on pcsx2 because he think its better. You wanna try that with some games?

That's about "pc gamer"
In other hand, a "real gamer" like me look for portability to have all his favourite games everywhere and in any time lol. (the toilet is one of favourite place to play portable games xD)

Following this one closely. I definitely want to buy one at some point, so GPD Win and a PSP Go are my targets for 2017.

If you have big hands, forget about the psp go.

More or less. But I don't think I'll have a problem since I'm kinda used to long sessions on my GBA SP, and that thing's small haha.

ergonomy on this one its very different ill tell you that.
I can play SP without issue, but the L and R buttons on the Go and the oval design, make them hard to play for several hours.

Yeah I remember I saw a video review were the guy complained about the placement of the L and R buttons, that could be a hassle to deal with.

But main thing for me is buttons staying below the screen, personal preference but I kind of dislike the buttons being on the sides like on the other models.

Ran Taito Type X2 and noticed some things:
SSFIV4:AE - Runs great. Used the DPad and Action Button Mappings (WASD - DPad and Directional Buttons - Action Buttons in Mouse Mode) after setting the Config. Interesting bit, the Area above the Keyboard where Im guessing the CPU is located, only got lightly warm. But if you run the PC Game, even on Low Settings, the Device gets much Warmer. Using the Version that has the #JIMBO Folder with the Spanish Info PDF File in it. 4.33GB in Size. Also should inform, I have this in my 256GB MicroSD Card.
SFIV - This one is the 1.20GB sfiv.exe that is a 7Zip File which extracts to a Directory of your Choosing. The Game.exe comes up as a PUP Virus under Avast. Without this File, I try to run the Game, but I get a JVS Error 0000 Library Error. Will try again in a bit on the Device where the EXE wont get removed to see what happens. However, I am thinking I might have to Edit some Config File to set the Directory to where I have it located. Same as above. On my MicroSD

You seem to have the device for a while now, do you recommend it? And like, did you try playing some big games like Skyrim and GTA IV and the such? If so I would really appreciate the feedback.

I have one. I've not played anything demanding but this forum is a good source to which games run and how well.

Also can look through this to see what Games have been tested.

Edit: As for the SFIV Taito Type X2, Runs pretty good. Runs at 75-85% Speed In-Game. But otherwise runs. Device does get Warm, but nothing to worry about. Seems like SSFIV:AE runs better

Edit 2: However, best not to try and watch the Attraction Video. Otherwise, Game will Lock Up on you

Edit 3: OK, more observations of running Taito Type X2: Depending on where you get your Games, you might not get them to run. I have tried a few Sources, and other than the one type I have of both SFIV Games, I cant seem to get any of the other Copies to run. Always get JVS Error. Even tried a Version that comes with a Loader Front-end. Same thing. Not to mention, cant even get the typex_config.exe to run. Keeps crashing on me for any other of SFIV I get (standalone and Super). Way I figure it, you need to get these types:
SFIV: Need the Version that comes as a .exe to extract to a Directory of your choosing

SSFIV:AE : Basically the Version that comes WITH a #JIMBO Directory when extracted. Will have the following
setup.exe and setup.2 through .7 .
Both work great. But as I said, for SFIV, you can not watch the Opening Video. Looked into it, and apparently there is a problem with any Copy of it out there. So just start it up and Play. Also, there are Trainers for both, but would suggest finding 1 that works best for you. SSFIV:AE does come with a Trainer, but that one seems to be working iffy to me. Seriously wish cheathappens made Trainers for it.

GPD Win is a great device. Very powerful for its size (Although for gaming and emulation can get away with lower resolutions for some speedup - where the quality reduction is less noticeable in comparison to doing the same for a larger display)

Few things to bear in mind however. First batch is pretty much flawed (Overheating issues, Some possible hardware malfunctions and poor quality membrane) Second and third batch are improved. Advised to do a clean reinstall of Windows and then install the drivers. No crashes or other issues. Advised to turn on fan when gaming to reduce throttling.

The thing can run PPSSPP (most games I have tried) at full speed and even some games via the Dolphin emulator (In gamecube or WII). Great little device

I actually bought this

 

[Smoker1]

Yeah some new information:
If you are going to use a USB Drive, you might want to use a 2.0 Adapter, Hub, or use a good Rated Portable SSD with a Angled USB Adapter to make sure you dont have a Cable sticking out, but where you can wrap it around. Suggest a Cable that has the Connector pointing below the Device or to the Side, wraps around the Drive, and connects to the Drive like this Cable

I had a Lexar JumpDrive S45 that is crap now. Thinking is was the Heat being generated.

Nice price for a powerful Windows handheld. They also have a handheld that runs a lot of emulators and is android-baseed. It's a nice one too,but i forgot the name.

That one is from the same manufacturer and is known as the GPD XD (Great device too and has amazing battery life. 10 hours+ or so

Sorry for off-topic, but i need to know a thing:
somebody here can tell me if Razer Edge Pro can do streaming/moonlight on psvita with its specs? Maybe of Dolphin or PCSX2? (or at least only dolphin)
(it have a i7-3517U and GeForce GT 640 LE)
