I’m trying to figure out if I wanna get one of these for the family to share and they look pretty cheap. I like that the ones I see advertised come preloaded with games so I don’t have to do all the setup and downloading. But I’m capable of doing that setup if there’s a better device that doesn’t come preloaded.

    Oh hey I think I’m the one who recommended the V90. The MiyooCFW is definitely the way to go. The 2.0 beta version has RetroArch now which has a lot more emulator features like fast forward.

      Oh hi. Thanks for the advice before. I’ll make sure to use this one.

        If you’re comfortable with some minor screwdriver work, the dpad can be slightly improved by either putting a little piece of tape under the pivot point or by printing and installing this replacement dpad

      Hi! I know I’m replying to a 13-day old comment, but I’ve been looking up about the Powkiddy V90 and your comment came up, so I figured it wouldn’t hurt to ask someone who has experience with it…

      Do you know how difficult it is to flash MiyooCFW into it? I don’t really have an SD card slot on my computer, so I’m wondering if it’s possible to flash it by plugging the console into my computer and flash it that way - or would I have to order an SD card-to-USB adaptor?

        It’s very easy to flash MiyooCFW to an SD card but you will need to be able to access the micro SD card directly from your computer.
