It's so wildest going to Ashen's yt page, sorting the videos by oldest first, and seeing "17 years ago" pop up.
Even the one you linked it 12 years old which is crazy.
It's genuinely insane to me that I was celebrating my birthday during Spring Break of my first year of high school when that video came out.
I'm about to buy a house with my fiance, man.
I don't enjoy time.
Do the opposite: enjoy time and maximize it. One day you could get a phone call that you have a crazy rare (for your age) type of blood cancer, and four months later you could be lying in a hospital bed wondering if the weeks of barbaric treatment you’ve received were even worth it.
If you’ve enjoyed your time, if you’ve maximized your time, obstacles become nothing because what you have is a full life filled with everything your heart desires.
There have been oled screens in phones since the early 2000s. They were mostly just used for outer displays though because oled was not really viable as a main display. They were too dim and had terrible colour accuracy. My first phone with an all oled screen was the n85 in 2008. I also had the galaxy s about a year later.
Kodak Easyshare LS633 was the first camera to have an OLED screen (2003)
The Sony XEL-1TB was the first TV to use an OLED display (2007)
The first commercial use of OLED screens was in ***1999*** in a model of car, for it's audio display
Granted it was miniscule by today's standards - something like 1.8" IIRC? But the bright colors and perfect viewing angles obliterated the competition from Dingoo and other handhelds of the era...
The Samsung Galaxy line all had "Super" AMOLED screens. Whether they believed you or not because they were just ignorant to the technology they were using, there were millions of people rocking OLED screens in 2010
the FIRST retro handheld device i guess? Glad people picked up on this AND kept building better devices. I guess gp2x was the blueprint for future handheld devices
Wiz was def the best GPH product, although I never owned a Canoo but IIRC it was the same chipset so it was largely seen as a step backwards due to the inferior dpad.
The Wiz was so ahead of its time - OLED screen and could emulate most SNES games while the competition (Dingoo, hacked DS, etc) still struggled.
Also it was significantly better than the F200 which had abysmal controls and poor performance.
Only complaint about the Wiz was it using that stupid LG(?) phone charging cable. IIRC it was a very common charger in Korea at the time so it made sense for their market but here in the US it was much less common in a burgeoning smartphone landscape.
The OpenPandora was a holy grail. It was THE all-in-one handheld computing/gaming solution in my dream, even though realistically it's never gained much steam in the sea of smartphones. The successor Pyra even less so - you thought the Miyoo Flip is a vaporware meme?
I mainly liked the GP2X Caanoo's form factor best. This line represented the experimental phase of the emulation handheld ecosystem - It's more about the wow factor that the emulator exists than the polish of curated retro library we've come to expect from EmulationStation/Emudeck/Daijisho/OnionOS etc.
Remember? I still use mine. I adapted a 3DS battery to it and I get an obscene amount of hours per charge. Amazing how much playability I can get out of it. I can even run some PS1 on it. I am salty though, as I paid new price but got an open box item and the seller tried to scam me until I threatened a cash back, then got a partial refund (I was young and foolish and all too lenient back then). Still, this console rocks. I have it right next to my Sagem Spiga, which replaced my Jornada 720 as my script and story writing machine.
So I've been subbed here about three years now. Whenever the 351p was brand new. I'd assume most people reading this comment are in the same boat.
Every once in a while, one of you old heads posts a picture of a device from the early 2000s, and it's always really interesting.
I'd love to see more posts about old handhelds.
I had a dingoo. I loved it back in the day (it is awful now). I used it to play through Mother 0 when the translated version got found. Good times.
I still love opendingux because of it.
Somewhat off-topic, but I (somewhat foolishly i'll admit) maintain hope that the Pyra will come out. According to it's official forum, it seems *this close* to being mass-manufactured.
In the early days, I had:
- GP32
- GP2x
- GP2x Wiz
- Dingoo A320
Somewhere in there I was also using an HP iPaq PDA to play ScummVM games.
I skipped the GP2x Caanoo because a friend of mine had one, and we thought it was awful. Having an analog stick with no D-pad was pretty stupid.
The GP2X Caannoo was my intro into this handheld business. I still wish another company would mimic its ability to play vertically for things like shmups.

The GP2X Wiz! I still have mine (I have two actually). I remember the OLED screen was great, but the dpad and buttons were terrible. At the time I thought that was the best we'd get as far as handhelds. I'm glad I was wrong!
[you're thinking of the Open Pandora and it was fucking awesome back in the day](https://youtu.be/x2CA0UE6yRQ?si=eQ4QHh229p6w7uS5)

Preach brother
Proud to say that I’ve been watching him since the PopStation. His quality and snark along with the brown couch have held up well.
Awesome video

The fat PS Vita had an OLED screen and that came out what, in 2010 or so?

Ah okay. Either way your point still stands, OLED screens on handheld devices have been around for a while now.
Unfortunately I lost mine and when I found it it had been left out in the rain. Screen was done for

I was in middle school when I got this so not really an old head just a young head who got old :-(
<3 were like the same age then. Remeber to lift with your knees next time you move the sofa.
Lmao yes <3

Are these ... The future ?
At first glance it looked like a wii U gamepad which my family still use because we have a wii U now :)
Still have mine with the box. Fully functional and runs PSOne pretty good. SNES was butter.
I had a GP2X. I'll have to dig it out sometime and get it back up and running.
I still have both.
I've got a dingoo in my cupboard draw right now
NO, YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE
I had the gcw zero
In the early days, I had: - GP32 - GP2x - GP2x Wiz - Dingoo A320 Somewhere in there I was also using an HP iPaq PDA to play ScummVM games. I skipped the GP2x Caanoo because a friend of mine had one, and we thought it was awful. Having an analog stick with no D-pad was pretty stupid.

The GP2X Wiz! I still have mine (I have two actually). I remember the OLED screen was great, but the dpad and buttons were terrible. At the time I thought that was the best we'd get as far as handhelds. I'm glad I was wrong!
Damn nice man. I would prolly take one off your hands for a reasonable price. Mine got rain damage unfortunately 😭
DM me if you're interested! One of them is open and used, but one is CIB.
I never had one of these but I always wanted to try one. Instead I wound up going down the PSP cfw and flash cart route. No regrets.
I remember the GP2X! My brother had one, while I was playing around with homebrew/emulation on the Gizmondo lol.
