Bargain price during this weekend for the Powkiddy X55 a very interesting retro console for its screen size for those who do not want to go blind and its processor.
Inside the Powkiddy we find the Rockchip RK3566 processor that we have seen in several reviews and that we can currently find in many game consoles. This SoC allows us to run the 30 PSP, N64, PS1 and Dreamcast emulators included as well as many more 8 and 16 bit consoles. We have two micro SD slots, one to boot your Linux system with a Batocera distribution and another slot to use as a game storage unit.
The Powkiddy X55 already has a version of the alternative software distribution JELOS which makes it quite exciting. For more info check our Powkiddy X5 review.
