JXD The Android Gaming Tablet

In this day and age we are all for collecting all the classic games
and playing them on the original consoles with the original
controllers.  That is the best way to play retro games, the nostalgia is
there with the feel and the touch of the machines.

Pushing in a
cartridge into the slot on the Sega Master System, pressing the power
button on your Nintendo NES console or even pumping coins into an original arcade cab.  These are all the things we remember of gaming as kids and still love to do, but in
the present day this is not always possible for everyone and we like to preserve our
machines and games of old and keep them in good condition plus access a range of games at any one time.

But wait……..our delivery from
Funstock.co.uk landed. So without delay we
opened it up to see an Android tablet …” But wait ……..this had
analogue joysticks and a D-pad!  We now had in our hands the JXD S7800b !

So
this is an Android tablet built for retrogames….we are quite
impressed!  The console holds well in your hands and is light
too.weighing only 500g! Your thumbs lay ontop of the joysticks just
right and still leaves your fingers to be hitting the L1 and R1 buttons
curved into the corners of the console!  The tablet has all the buttons
you’d expect from modern handhelds and they are all positioned correctly
which will suit most games and gamers!

It has Android OS so this tablet is easy to navigate with the D-Pad or even the touch screen (yes
touch screen!!) The Google Play store app is supported so you can
download your Gmail or any other Android apps that take your fancy, even
the retro games which are available are easy to access.  So this being just like your
Android  phone (without calls) you can also surf the internet with pure ease
using WIFI

No beating around the bush, this is a very fancy
multi emulator in a branded tablet – but JXD have done this very well.  As
we all know downloading ROMS can be annoying but the JXD makes this
simple.  The console comes pre-loaded with a cloud app that puts your
games into genres and categories for you.  All you have to do is simply
choose your game and press download! Its that easy.  The 8GB of storage
gives you tons of space for games and if you want more for movies or
such there is a memory card slot too. The JXD is pre set to play
Megadrive, SNES, Famicom, Gameboy, DS,GBA, MAME, PS1, N64, Arcade
and  better still the DREAMCAST!!! 

Of course you can download more
emu’s for other consoles and formats (if you know how to do that sort of
thing) and we are told the JXD also supports Speccy, Amiga, 32x and
Atari Jaguar!!

One of the best features of the JXD is the screen
it comes in at a massive 7″ and is bright, responsive and colourful
which makes the games llok great! If you wish to have more definition
you can plug this badboy into your HDMI on your TV and go Large!!!  The
speakers sit either side of the console giving you good stereo sound. 
There is a 2.0 megapixel camera on the back and also one on the front if
you want to take selfies, there is also an excellent Key
Mapping feature if you download Android games that use touch screen
controls, but you do have the option to use these on all games….we
don’t!

Battery life is good, we have been playing Crazy Taxi most
of the day and with its 5000mah battery you can play for quite a while!   There is not much else to say about the JXD you just haver to play it
for yourself to experience it.  This is a great retro meets modern
gaming console with added emu’s to get you started. There are even a
few bundled games on there to get you going!

Like any emulation system -it plays emulated games, this
means sadly that not all games play perfectly or have sound, but this you’ll experience across a number of systems anyway. The majority of roms across a range of systems worked. Some didn’t so we moved onto the next game – easy.
