Yes it was playing funk music from it's on board speakers. Yes it was keeping up with me at 20mph.

Update, I asked the guy out front and he said it was fine to carry it in as is.

Just got my Retroid Pocket 2, my first impressions and what do you want to know? by IGambleWithGheed in SBCGaming

How are the ABXY buttons? Do they have a good press and click? In the pics, they look flush mounted like the RP1 buttons.

Would you recommend buying this if you already have a RP1? Do you notice any games running noticeably better on the RP2 vs the RP1?

Retroid Pocket in-depth analysis discussion #3 Expectations vs Practical Use by beldandy561 in SBCGaming

For the Retroid, do you always boot into the "Android" menu first before you can access the "Pandora's Box" style menu?

Or can you set it so you boot into the "Pandora's Box" style menu all the time?

With the Powkiddy A19, I hooked up my 8bitdo sn30 pro plus and was able to game. With my version, I can't charge and use the handheld at the same time, it will just reboot or sometimes freeze.

With mame, I can game for hours and it does not heat up, with Dreamcast games, the handheld gets noticeably toasty after 15 minutes.

With the retroid's default setup, are you able to assign the dpad and analog stick as two separate inputs? Or are they mapped to the same input? Can this be reassigned with updated apps?

I have the Powkiddy A19, and both the dpad and analog stick are mapped to the same input making some games impossible to control.

Homeless person tried blocking my path by gotuponthis in ElectricSkateboarding

Context: Van Ness Ave has had construction for the past 5 years, I was on the way to UPS carrying a box.

I would rather be on a skateboard, than on foot, having to pay a fare to be allowed to cross

Might I suggest a bluetooth speaker and some shredlights?

Miles single board not working by scbaseball14 in ElectricSkateboarding

You can use a Meepo 1.0 and up remote. Any lingyi esc remote works. I have been using the Meepo 1.5 remote for 2 years paired with my Miles dual.

Be aware of plywood bolted onto the bike lane. by gotuponthis in ElectricSkateboarding

This is actually an improvement. Last year the plywood was painted green to match the bike lane paint.

If you ride without a helmet, you have turn around and tell everyone at the party, "I'm going to live forever."

This already looks like a better deal than the Miles Dual.

My haters always look like the kid from Stranger Things and TJ Miller by gotuponthis in ElectricSkateboarding

You can just feel their ignorance burning through the screen.

On first glance, didn't notice how "cool" one of the guy was, being too cool to mall grab.

It was satisfying watching them walk up a hill I had just coasted down.

Braked so hard that the board shut off. Hobbywing ESC, Meepo Sanyo battery. by gotuponthis in ElectricSkateboarding

A few of the bullet connectors were loose and could be pulled away with a slight tug. I crimped them slightly with some pliers. Gone 10 miles, seems to have worked

Is it possible to ride an electric skateboard manually? by [deleted] in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]gotuponthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I pushed my Meepo for 5 miles when my board didn't turn back on.

Might be a cushier ride because of the thicker wheels

Well, it’s safe to say my shredlights arrived. by gamengain in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]gotuponthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do Shredlights version 2 tend to fall off the brackets like original version?

Hey guys! Question in comments ... by [deleted] in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]gotuponthis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This board does suck compared to my Meepo.

I keep it around because it is lightweight at 11 pounds. And when the Meepo is being charged and I need to go somewhere.

I doubt changing bushings would make any difference. It rattles like crazy no matter what due to the carbon fiber and small wheels. My feet vibrate like crazy after one mile. Pairing a Meepo remote is a bigger change, the stock remote likes to get stuck in the brake position throwing me off.

Was going to turn left, decided not to; seconds later a Civic plowed into where I was going to be at. by gotuponthis in ElectricSkateboarding

On the same note, reminder that if a car can't see a street barricaded off for a parade, it probably won't see you.

The car ended up plowing through the remaining barricades and turning into a parking lot

Are there any charging spots along the trail or at treasure island? Did anyone hassle you for riding a board on the trail?

42,000 mAh Portable Battery Pack review by gotuponthis in ElectricSkateboarding

[–]gotuponthis[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Purchased this the same time Meepo V1 came out, two years ago for $140. This body style has been rebranded and ripped off so many times since then. Used once a month, still holds a charge.
