Very nice tablet, Easy to use, Love It..!!

Producto muy recomendable y buen precio

Arrivato anche in anticipo! Prodotto come descrizione "archos gamepad 2".Va bene con l'emulazione dei giochi snes megadrive etc...anche bene per l'emulazione della psx1!!! Girano bene i giochi!!Ho riscontrato un tasto in alto a destra (r1) che non torna bene quando si pressa, la batteria dira tanto quanto basta! Un giorno e lo utilizzo spesso. Per il resto ottimo, proprio quello che mi aspettavo.Come sempre ottimo amazon e venditore.

J'ai acheté cette tablette car j'adore le rétrogaming et je trouve les émulateurs android très fournis et bien finis. J'ai alors jeté mon dévolu sur une tablette puissante avec une belle finition et prévue pour le jeu.Cette Gamepad 2 répond totalement à mes attentes. La qualité de finition et de packaging est au top, les touches bien situées et la matière de la coque amène une prise en main confortable.De plus, esthétiquement parlant, elle est vraiment belle et sobre. A recommander !

I have been looking for the best method of playing retro games for some time (mame in particular). At one stage I had Mame set up on my home theatre PC although when used conjunction with a 50" TV, the results were a little disappointing. Naturally, all of these old classic games were designed for older style CRT screens running in 4:3 mode so as you can imagine, running at 1080p and stretched did make it all look rather rubbish! I first thought about running such a system on a smaller device after playing around with desktop resolutions, I seemed to be to achieve a very nice quality picture when things were nice and small although as anyone that is into emulation will tell you, it's all about the controls, touch screen is not great for emulation, I started to wonder if there was a compromise available.I started my search and stumbled upon the original gamepad and immediately thought this looked like a winner, nice big screen with dedicated control sticks. It seemed to review well although received much criticism related to both it's screen quality and inconsistent controls. I then realised it had been updated with the Gamepad 2 which had addressed these issues and users seemed to be very happy with it. There were a few negatives that seemed to be mentioned fairly often and I want to address them with this review.The device comes nicely packed with a variety of USB leads and charging solutions, included in the box you will find both UK and European power leads which is useful. The device was also fully charged which meant I could play with it immediately (it's the small things that please me!)The device itself is very nice to look at, the front is piano black and the rear is a softer material which means your hands are nice and comfortable during prolonged gaming sessions. The analogue sticks feel nice and solid, certainly don't feel like they could break due to enthusiastic gameplay!As soon as I had booted in to android, there was a software update waiting for me (no real information as to what was included although it's good to see that the software is getting revised). I had read reports of users failing to get 64gb SD cards working on the device even though the paperwork included mentions that they are compatible so I was a little concerned, I placed my Sandisk 64gb class 10 card into the device and.................. It worked perfectly first time. I then started the task of trying to get the emulators working, I had also read reports of Mame not working very well, users had commented that it's very hit and miss when it comes to getting games working. I had decided on the mame4droid emulator as it seemed the best supported of the bunch. After much playing around, it became clear that the emulator works fantastically well PROVIDING you are using 0.139 ROMs. All of my favourite games worked perfectly so I was absolutely delighted. It was also very pleasing to see that Mame had picked up the Gamepad 2's controls by default, no playing around at all!! The only changes I made to the settings were to force the graphics to fill the available screen space, although not ideal, I really cannot see a loss in quality at all! When you are displaying on a 7" screen, this kind of change is not really noticeable.A lot was made regarding the specs of the Gamepad 2, the quad core processor was meant to make a huge difference and I'm sure it does, when using Mame, I have not noticed any slowdowns whatsoever, everything is running at full speed which makes the experience very enjoyable.There are many emulators available in the Play Store for almost every system you can imagine, the GBA emulator (my boy) is fantastic and the old GBA games look great on the device.The battery life is also very good, seem to be able to achieve around 7 hours of game time which is what I expected.Really not sure how I could fault this device, there does not appear to be a dedicated case for it which is a pain although certainly not a deal breaker by any means.I can't really comment on how good the Gamepad works as a tablet as I purchased it for gaming only. Flying through the settings it seems fast and responsive and the screen is decent so I couldn't envisage any potential problems.This is my purchase of the year, love it to bits :)

Reçu assez rapidement malgrez la rupture de stock côté Archos. Article de qualité assez médiocre (ceci concerne directement Archos) et mal conçu. Suffisant pour un enfant tout de même. Aussitôt reçu aussitôt retourné. C'est ça l'avantage Amazon. J'aurai tout de même essayé.
