Holy moly
it actually runs SoTC at fullspeed. At the original PS2 res, mind you, but still, that's impressive.
Sorry sir. I don't own it. Anything else you'd like me to try?
Mario Strikers already plays pretty well on the GPD Win 1, but it should be perfect on the Win 2.
Looking at the Melee video, that's a game that has struggles but it's perfect here.
Wow. God of War 2 runs respectably, too. Very impressed that it's handling PS2 this well.
Seriously tempted to sell my Win 1 and get one of these.
It's a great game! I'm actually looking forward to my commute now. haha
Call of Duty: World At War by Mobimaniak3000:
Runs at around 40-60 fps at 720p and seems med-high settings. If GPD Win 1 was already good at doing PS360 titles, than Win 2 really seems to seal the deal, 720p resolution with better than PS360 level settings.

Tekken 7!
Much appreciated Phawx, but could you try a few things?
-Can the resolution be lowered down further?
-Can the resolution scaling be turned down further to get better FPS?
-Can you enable dynamic resolution? That can help performance a lot.
Still very impressive and I think with some tweaking it can hit 60 FPS constantly no problem. Hope this means SFV can do it too! Definitely buying one of these now.

Yea the resolution can go down further. Just need to go to the gameuserdata in %appdata% and change the value and set it to read-only mode afterwards.
Also for people that don't follow Reddit. I've been able to successfully get 7Y30 to reach near peak performance. You only need to go into the bios and enable XTU. From there you can download Intel's XTU program and control voltage, TDP and window times.
For reference: here is Heaven on stock:
Here is undervolt+8watts
and here is undervolt+10 watts:
The impressive bit is when looking at Minimum frame rate between stock and near full power 7Y30.
I've been doing a LOT of testing at higher wattages (like 12 watt) And while it does operate, I've learned through and Intel contact that there is actually an 11 watt threshold via a voltage regulator. The machine will power down automatically once this voltage trips.
So realistically, 9.5 watt is the upper-end people should be running their GPD Win 2 at. And of course, you also have the option of setting wattage to 3.5w via XTU if you want maximum battery life.

Hot damn. I legitimately didn't expect this to be able to handle PS2 titles so smoothly due to some of the roadblocks with emulation on that front. Guess I'll be shelling out however much it takes to get me one of these.
The SOTC video pretty much sold me on the device as well, that was pretty darn good.
Phawx fumbling around in Dark Souls was kinda adorable.
Incredible that it runs at 30fps. Thanks a bunch man.

Haha :D
I really should actually play the game eventually. Thankfully I'll be able to on my commute now.
Quick question for those of you with the original GPD Win.
Has anybody personally tried .hack GU HD on it? I've been playing Valkyria Chronicles the last few days (runs great!) and was wondering how that game'd fair.

I haven't tried it myself, but i remember reddit saying it worked well.
It works on my old macbook so it should be fine, also Star Ocean 4 should work pretty well if you mess with the settings, the ports not really demanding, but those games are 40gb +
So as I mentioned before I am a official distributor of Sunda batteries and have started selling replacement Win batteries on ebay to people in the US who need them.
Well since GPD won't disclose sales of the Win I simply contacted Sunda with an excuse about how I'm trying to figure out how many people have had battery failures and asked them how many batteries they have sold to GPD.
They told me around 100K batteries so far.
Now Chinese companies do like inflating sales numbers for some reason but I don't really see any reason for Sunda to lie to me.
Either way take it with a grain of salt but if Sunda's numbers are to be believed we can guess GPD has sold 90K-100K Wins since it went on sale a little over a year ago.
Also I'm now a official distributor for GPD in the US.
Not really planning on selling any of their devices but I'll be looking to acquire an inventory of spare parts to sell since many people's warranties are up and ordering spare parts from GPD takes forever to get them.

Half speed. He has the fourth "aggressive" speed hack enabled which under clocks the CPU and more importantly turns on VU cycle stealing. This is effectively a frame skip option when used with SOTC so even if the emulator reports 60fps its actually rendering half that or less depending on the load.
Would be nice to see if some of the lesser CPU intensive games such as Final Fantasy XII can run full speed with only the not so intrusive "recommended" speed hacks.
And the stable 1.4 version of PCSX2 is very outdated now, everyone should be using a 1.5 dev build. https://buildbot.orphis.net/pcsx2/

It says official say though which I'm not sure if thats a quirk of machine translation or if its implying they'll offer machines with higher storage once the crowdfunding ends and they start officially selling the device.
I dunno for sure but if I'm reading what GPD's Chinese rep is saying right it looks like they might be offering options with various amounts of storage.

Hey peeps, more annoying questions. Has anyone in here tried out Tokyo Xanadu EX+ on the GPD Win? I know the thing runs the Cold Steel games fine, and Xanadu was built on a modified ver of the same engine.
I don't wanna drop the cash until I know for sure, though.

I get around 25 FPS on the GPD Win at 720p. Do note that there's practically no video options besides resolution and fullscreen/window/borderless.
Any resolution below 720p, or is that the lowest?
Also cheers for answering!
Last I checked the only resolution I could select was 720p.
I made an updated video at preset 3. I got worse performance on latest 1.5, so I continued to use 1.4. Having said that, Framerate does go down to 47~FPS but ticks back up to 60. I also showed the PAL version which goes down to 45FPS, but that's a difference between 10% and 20%, so running the PAL version is recommended.
Nah, unfortunately that isn't legit at all. All the tests that have been done so far by Phawx on the Win 2 and others who have similar hardware have only managed around 10fps, even with the latest version of Cemu. It's just a clickbait video. The only way anyone is getting decent performanc for BoTW on handheld hardware right now is using a Switch.
Well my statement was referring to native hardware performance rather than streaming solutions but yeah, technically you can have BoTW run on nearly any handheld device if you have a stable network connection :). But I concede I probably should have made my point clearer ;)
lyte edge that is extremely fucking impressive. So i take it Battlefront 1 will work fine there too (and possibly 2)?
Even better than i thought, 720p 45ish frames. Lock it to 30 and it will run as butter.
Amazing, a handheld in 3DS form factor running current-gen titles at 720p30. This thing oozes potential.

Normally I use Antimicro for these set ups. But I'm sure there are steam configs already created for 360pads.
Oh yeah, I have a Steam Controller and I totally forgot that the API is available for normal pads as well.
Mobimaniak got a few new ones:
Borderlands 2:
Dying Light:
Borderlands 2 seems to run smoothly, Dying Light does too, but has a lot of dips below 30 fps, but the framerate counter doesnt seem to register those, so this might be a bug with Intel drivers.

Why not just use steams controller API configurator, since it supports generic xinput devices now as well.
Mind testing out if the configurator works on this?
Edit: nvm :P

The win 1 is already enough for them, think that Trails of cold steel has win 1 hardware as official minimum requirements and even "handheld" settings.
Me too - Im sure its too much for it but very curious.
I like this as it will let me get the 'switch factor' with my PC and be my all in one emulator superbox. Question - how comfortable is it in long play sessions? MY hand cramps playing doom on my switch after about an hour...
Wade actually saw an invite link on Reddit and popped up on discord and there was a sort of impromptu Q&A over there.
A summary of what was said, keep in mind he was using chrome to translate what people were saying and replying in Chinese and I'm using google to translate that so there may be misunderstandings and details lost in places:
This probably doesn't need to be said but if you're on the discord server please don't go bugging Wade with PM's about stuff like getting prototypes to test or anything else.
I'd rather not drive him away from there.

I just finished configuring my GPD XD. I know it's the oldest and least powerful but it's really all I need and I really, really like it. the buttons being kind of mushy annoyed me at first but I got used to it pretty quickly
I really just wanted it for GBA and SNES games, but I've managed to get PS1 and Dreamcast games running pretty well so it's exceeded my expectations
I'll upgrade *eventually* to something that can run Dolphin but for now this is perfect

Man, the GPD Win 2 news keeps sounding better and better. I'm happy to watch from afar since I won't join the club this time but it's an excellent and impressive piece of hardware.
