A very rough start for me and Mangmi Air X at Gogamegeek…
The reviewers on YouTube and other review channels spent all their time speaking about how great this handheld is for playing PSP games, making several comments how it is the best PSP emulatung budget handheld available. Then they double down also braging how awesome the Dreamcast, 3ds games play. During tgis time moat reviewers are tell up "Do not buy" if you plan on using the device mainly for PS2, Wii or Gamecube gaming as the Snapdragon 662 chipset just doesnt have the power for good performance. Let me address the first issue.. I Do Not know how to add games to a SD card for playing on retro handhelds. I have ZERO desire to learn. So, I always get the largest sd card available, putting my trust in the knowledge that the companies I purchase from have been recommended by the YouTube Channel I had research the device on. So, imagine taking that channels advice to buy from this company, adding a pre-loaded 256gb sd card only to put the card in, and initially finding out that there had been ZERO quality control although it came with the QC Pass Certificate #12. First issue with the SD Card I spent wxtra for. #1 There are 5 Nintendo Wii games on this device, None of which play. So, all that memory, (again, I paid extra for, just used up even though not one of the games can play). #2 card issue.There are 29 games on my 256 SD card I paid extra for, again all that memory waisted on 29 PS2 Games (That reviewers suggested to myself and all others that watched their reviews not to buy the Mangmi Air X to expect to play PS2 games) Every game in the PS2 category will not play. Now, let me talk about the retro systems which have been reviewed as very playable on the Mangmi Air X. Using the onboard operating system the PSP shows up as the first retro system, telling me that that GoGameGeek team knows that the reviewers are saying that the Mangmi is basically a an upgraded PSP. So, my concern is why is there only 45 PSP games, when much of the sd cards memory were used on the much larger PS2 game files, that didn't work at all anyway. Here is the worst part whoever set this xard up, did so incorectly as none of the 45 PSP games work. The Dreamcast was yet another system reviewed as a working great on the Mangmi Air. There are 53 Dreamcast games on the SD card, and well none of these were set up correctly either. They all are unplayable. This has been one stressfull moment after another. Literally, all gogamegeek had to do here is pay attention to how the sd game card was set up, making sure that good games were choosen, and that these games were set up correctly. Unfortuately, the 45 PSP, 53 Dreamcast, 14 N64, and 25 NDS games all were set up incorrectly, although the QC Certificate said it Passed QC. The final and worst part of my experience was when trying to play Doom 64 on the N64. Not only do the games not work, but while the system attempted to play an Ad actually popped up. It was an AD from Hotels.com. Now, it is Chinese New Year and I have to continue to wait. It is truly unbelievible how bad this experience has been. Please note that the Manmi Air X is a very nice system, if you are like me and would rather have a third party create your preloaded games card, at this point do not buy the gogamegeek extra card. They do not seem to have the knowledge of complete know how to set up the emulators correctly to run. I will update this review if gogamegeek reads and corrects the issues I have had.
