A few months back I got a Switch. Played Zelda like crazy, but just didn't have much interest in the other games available. Did some searching, trying to find out why the VC wasn't on that system or when we would get it. That brought me to the Wii U and it's huge library. I was looking into getting that system when I stumbled across the GPD. So glad I didn't get a Wii U. But it seems we're in a similar boat. All I can say is that I love this thing. It has beaten the majority of my expectations to death.

The drawbacks: It doesn't have a camera or a microphone. A few Android games, like Pokemon Go, require the camera and/or mic and can't be played on the GPD, as far as I know. (Maybe there's a workaround?) Also, with the GPD you don't have a data plan, like on your phone, so you only get a mobile connection when you're at a WiFi spot or maybe if you tether it to your phone. Again, some Android games require a constant connection and if you're used to playing those on your phone, you won't be able to play them on the GPD (at least not in the same way).

Besides gaming I use my GPD for Netflix, Amazon, Plex, etc. Most of those services let me download a movie or a few episodes to the GPD for viewing while I'm away from WiFi. You had said you were going to use this thing on breaks; ya may want to watch a few shows instead of gaming every once in a while.

Amazon Basics has inexpensive high quality 25 ft HDMI cables, if you want to use your TV for the screen while at home. Be sure to get Full-HDMI on one end and mini-HDMI on the other.

This little OTG USB converter saved me so much time:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00JCZ2FQQ/
It lets you plug a USB stick into the GPD (or a phone). It makes transferring files a lot faster (rather than moving the microSD between the PC/GPD).

The default interface and emulators that come with the GPD are adequate, but you'll eventually want to search through some of the topics here where people talk about the "best emulators". You'll end up shelling out less than $10 and it will be worth it.

Good Luck!

Others have already said basically the same thing, but I'll add to the pile.

The GPD XD will be great for everything you want to do with the exception of Nintendo 3DS, PSVITA and Persona 4. An actual PS VITA can be had used for a little over $100. If you jailbreak it, you now have access to the entire VITA library + Persona 4 Golden and games up to and including the PS1 and Gameboy Advance, but Nintendo DS emulation isn't really viable due to a much slower CPU compared to the GPD, though I guess they're working on that. Still no 3ds.

If you want everything on one device in your pocket, you'll need a GPD Win 2, which is orders of magnitude more expensive. It's also powerful enough to run Citra (Nintendo 3ds emulator), a Playstation 2 emulator (Persona 4), All consoles up to and including Gamecube, and all but the most demanding of PC games. The only thing you'll really be lacking there is VITA games, as there aren't any viable VITA emulators out there yet that I'm aware of. (Vita3k looks promising. Not there yet though).

A laptop with performance on par with, or better than a Win 2 can be had for less than a Win 2 goes for, but it's not exactly pocket friendly. Still, this might be a viable way to go paired with a decent controller as long as you don't mind lugging it around. Some benefits too, such as a larger screen and better heat management on account of a larger device.

Want extra style points and be Cyberpunk AF? Pair a laptop with an Oculus GO standalone VR headset and a controller. Use Virtual Desktop to put yourself in a virtual space in front of a gigantic hovering display and play all your emulators that way. You are now officially a huge nerd, and have to tote around a bag to carry all this stuff with you, but the concept is undeniably cool.

The plus is definitely worth it, I'm not sure how more powerful it is than the original, but it has a slightly newer processor and better battery. If you get the plus I'd make sure to get the 2019 version that fixes a hinge issue the previous plus model had. It should handle emulation very well for psp, ps1 and all the older consoles. Game cube even has good performance on the gpd xd plus. I'd definitely go with the plus.

Here's one on Amazon for $235:

Edit: you also might be able to find it cheaper on eBay if you look around.

Is your goal to use bluetooth headphones? If so you can use this device
https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Receiver-Portable-Wireless-Calling/dp/B00NG78CJU/ref=sr_1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1470668851&sr=1-3&keywords=aukey+bluetooth+transmitter
Basically you plug it into the audio jack of the XD & it will transmit the devices sound over bluetooth, so instead of connecting to the XD you connect to the Aukey.

On the other hand if your goal is to use a bluetooth controller or something of that nature you can simply buy an OTG cable for USB support and use a wireless usb controller off of amazon. Something like this for example http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G6CLY0G/ref=twister_B00GGGNHPM?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

If you're adverse to getting a new controller, you'd just have to play with a wired PS3/PS4 controller through the OTG cable. On the other hand if you're an Xbox guy you can buy a wireless receiver for Xbox Controllers which you can plug in via OTG cable to the XD.

I recently patched 2 hinges up and they are holding great. I am trying to push these videos out but I can give you a brief description of what I did.

If you dont mind a little glue showing that resembles clear nail polish, this is what I used :
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N2TV2JF
.
I removed the top of the XD+ ( screen ) by removing the 4 screws, then removing the hinge, you can leave the ribbon side on, just remove the top at an angle so that you can work on the hinge case piece without having the metal mechanical hinge in. ( you dont want to glue the metal hinge to the case) . Use a small clamp if you want ( I advise it ) but if the crack is not spread apart then you should be able to glue it as is. Put glue on the crack on the inside and outside. Make sure not to put too much on the inside because you need the hinge to fit back into that slot. If you want to add strength to the hinge you can puddle the glue on the inside toward the outer edge of the case. as long as you dont mess with the area that the metal hinge fits into. i don't see why you cant just keep adding glue.

___
I must add that this happened because GPD sent your unit out with the hinge toot tight. So please do not forget to loosen the hinge a bit. You can do this after your glue is in place and cured. You can watch me do it here.

I didn't realize they were anything else colored blue. I am talking about this

https://www.amazon.com/mod-smart-Fujipoly-Extreme-Thermal/dp/B00ZSJR1ZK
It has a thermal transfer of 17w/mK The pads you're using right now are only rated for 1.7w/mK. The as5 are rated for 6w/mK and dropped my pch temps by ~30C for a 1.5mm thick piece.

Also how much space is there in that indent? If there's enough putting a copper shim would add even more benefit than any foam but if you have not even 1mm thermal foam would be best. The biggest thing you're doing is trying to move the heat off of the SOC. Since you're trying to move heat from the heatsink to the shell and give the heat more area to disperse a higher transfer rate will help. Now no pad is as good as a copper shim but if you don't have the space the artic pads are a good compromise.

I cut some the size of my pch and it's temps dropped from 80-90C to 45-55C. I had plenty of space so I went with 1.5mm thickness but the post you reference says there's only a 1mm gap so you gotta do what you gotta do.

P.S.
I may end up getting an XD+ from you modded once money becomes more plentiful.

Here’s the amazon link incase anyone wants it: amazon link

And yes I agree with you the extra 40$ seems worth it to me as well. So far the best options for me seem to be either pacific mall, amazon or from another user on this subreddit who’s selling an unopened one from the US.

u/cdecker09 · 1 pointr/gpdxd

Use this and it works great. It’s great to be able to charge both my phones and xd plus at once too.

Just got my GPD XD + and I am probably going to go with the 3DS Amazon Basics case. Price is right and I am sure it would fit...

u/SteveHarveyHandlebar · 1 pointr/gpdxd

I got a PS4 controller working wirelessly with it. And I'm sure a USB hub would work for multiplayer.


https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00LTHBCNM?psc=1&ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title You're never going to find anything as convenient as plopping down a system in a dock to interchange like a Switch. Unless someone found the ultimate charging station, USB/Bluetooth hub, all-in-one dock for the GPD XD?


I haven't found a way to charge and external control at the same time. I looked. Closest thing is the hub, but that only let's you switch between OTG and charge, not both.

u/xeronut · 1 pointr/gpdxd

200GB and 256GB cards work in the XD - I use this one in my black 32GB unit without issue. It does take a bit longer to boot up with all the data I have on it (full ROMsets, scads of ISOs, a few Android games) but it does work well.

u/DrinkingAndDeriving · 5 pointsr/gpdxd

I grabbed one of these cables, to avoid the plug getting wear and tear, and it is working perfectly:

u/NoisedHens · 1 pointr/gpdxd

I got the 2019 update mid July on Amazon.

https://www.amazon.com/GPD-Foldable-Handheld-Touchscreen-Hexa-core/dp/B01N9IG6BL

If anything becomes really concerning I could always send it to you, right?

And also, I believe if you found a way to fix the back button issue (assuming it's hardware) you could make a great buck as adding that as an opinion for repairs. Man, it's unbelievably frustrating.

u/epicdom · 1 pointr/gpdxd

Sorry, I was on my commute. But they're on Amazon. Check here. I bought mine from UK Amazon for the extra protection.

I use this one in my, haven't had any issues.

u/D4NH · 2 pointsr/gpdxd

Have you tried Amazon? It's called Droidbox, basically the same. Just a different name. That's where I ordered mine.

u/pennylessz · 1 pointr/gpdxd

So SDXC speeds aren't too great with this device? Somebody in the thread mentioned that they had a 400gb that worked just fine, but I found someone else recommending this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B06XWZWYVP/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_OgbVBb9YM27TN elsewhere.

I'm concerned with how the card size, type, and speed will affect the games.

u/HappySpaceInvdr · 3 pointsr/gpdxd

You need a low latency device, like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01EHSX28M/ref=psdcmw_10110414011_t1_B00P24XKS8

Note that it's Bluetooth 4.1 and advertised as low latency.

u/Tired8281 · 1 pointr/gpdxd

You can avoid the slowdown issue by not just buying the cheapest possible SD card (not accusing you, it's just been my experience that that is what most people do, buy the cheapest card in the size they want). There are newer, faster cards that are specifically designed for running apps off of...the newest ones are listed as "A1", but there are sufficiently fast cards before that standard was complete. I have a Samsung card that gets 60MB/s write speed (real world, not benchmark) in my phone, significantly faster than the internal eMMC storage will write.
