Shadow Mp5 Game Analysis

Today I am going to talk about these magical devices called MP5 that has nothing to do with the format played. No doubt there are countless types of these apartitos, shapes and colors but I want to focus on one that was what I bought, called Shadow Game, a "next-generation console? ? . Many will be wondering why they call it a mere console when music and video player, well, when I finish this article, you decide it is.

Let the characteristics of this little gadget to get to know. Measures 6 inches high and 12.5 wide, has a 2.8 inch screen, weighs about 100 grams and has a Samsung flash memory 2 to 4 GB. Also you can add Micro SD memory up to 6 GB. Not bad considering that the size of a cell phone and weighs less than one can be perfectly in the pocket.

MP3 and MP4 Player: As it says on the specifications play MP1, MP2, MP3, MP4, WMA, WMV, ASF, WAV, 3GP, and sure I miss some. So much for the songs to the videos has an interface very similar to windows media player, it is very easy to use. You have the option to play specific parts of the issues, that is, if we want to hear from minute 1:10 of a song until 1:40 and repeat, we can.

A highlight for music is mediasync function, what you do is that when you load the song lyrics (LRC) is synchronized with the theme we hear to see the letter at the same time. Contains 7 EQ modes and plays videos at 25 frames per second.

Ok we know all the technical, everything he does, but sounds good? . In comparison to other players it brings two internal speakers, which means that besides being able to use headphones to listen really well without them with a very good sound quality. The videos do not lose quality is very good quality but the subtitles are somewhat difficult to read for such films, however that 3-inch screen is read?

The lie of the MP5: Wikipedia tells us, "the name is generally used for devices MP5 player of Chinese origin based on flash memory have a digital camera, SD slot for memory cards, TV output, built-in emulator and game consoles are relatively inexpensive. It supports audio codecs MP3, WMA, APE and FLAC, and video to RM, RMVB and AVI.? Basically call them MP5 is a strategy of sellers to make people believe that it is better than other players when the real name would Multimedia Player 5 (for 5 options in one).

Other features: It has an FM Radio you can search for stations manually or automatically, as well as to save about 12. The strangest thing in my opinion is that the radio only works with headphones, as it uses the same as the antenna, I have no idea how it does. It also has an internal microphone for recording both video and audio only.

There is one thing that gives a pretty important point against both in the music videos as you can upload or decrease the volume, but for everything else, such as emulation games do not have this option quite important. Then, whenever you restart the device have to go to a song, change the volume of the same and that we change the volume of the apparatus for all options. Do not know who was the idiot who made it this way but deserve to be dismissed and attacked by dogs shooting bees out of his mouth.

To retrieve this point we have lost a very important addition. Both the videos and games can be seen on TV. Bring a cable that connects to the TV with the options of NTSC and PAL N, okay, not the eighth wonder, but it is a very interesting addition. We also have a section called Tools where you can view a calendar, calculator, notepad with a virtual keyboard and data memory.

Camera and Camcorder: One of the most important features is just to bring a camera (films with sound) of 1.3 megapixel or 3 megapixel interpolated another lie, when you read interpolated, roughly half calculate what they are saying. Anyway, to be a camera on a player is not bad. Reaches 1600 x 1200 for photos and 320 x 240 for video, with a zoom of up to 2 x The format of the images is JPG and the 3GP videos. Pictures taken with this camera:

Bring a few effects to photos and videos: negative, solaris, emboss, sepia, black and white, etc.. Another point to consider is that it has three modes: normal, continuous takes three photos one after the other but with resolution of 320 x 240 and the option to remove the photo in 10 seconds, the classic to leave supported against the table and go running with friends in the group.

Now it's all very nice, but I can take as many pictures or how many hours I can record video? . To give you an idea, to me are 700 MB of free space and I can take 1720 photos at maximum quality video or 13 hours is more likely that the battery is depleted before the space for photos. The only drawback that I find is that it brings in a flash and a little dark do not have many opportunities, there is another slightly more expensive version called Shadow Game Edition 3.0 or GameLimited has 4 GB, Display 3.0 inches and flash for photos.

Games: This is my favorite part because it was what impressed me the most. It seems that some Chinese mad at some point said, Why not add an emulator for Nintendo / NES and Game Boy, if I knew that I congratulate China for a whole year. This is the reason why you can call console, Wikipedia defines the word game console as "an electronic home entertainment electronics running games (video games) that are contained in cartridges, optical discs, magnetic discs or cards memory..?

We are in Argentina, where everything comes out three times more expensive for the price of the dollar, then have a handheld LCD screen with three times less the value of a PSP or DS I think is very reasonable. Obviously not the same as those consoles games than the Game Boy Color and Family that we enjoy here, but tell the truth, who needs more than this for fun? . In addition to playing games. BIN 32 bits of allegedly, that's one of the great lies that I will discuss these games. BIN there are only 20 and are created by the same company that makes this gadget, does not play sega games, play station or any other console than the above.

But nothing is pink and has a few drawbacks. First of all, as mentioned before, I have to go to a song to change the volume of games (WTF). Second no subfolders browsing, meaning that if we get 500 games have come down one by one. Third, like any emulator is not perfect and with some games, mostly with the GBC is locked when you go out of it and have to restart the device.

Along with all that is really fun to have a handheld NES and GBC games where they look great and can be played on TV, not you, but playing Super Mario Bros., Bomberman, Double Dragon, Pokemon, Zelda, 1942, Contra, Megaman, etc., in this small wonder is incredibly rewarding.

Battery: This is something that many left out but it is very important. According to the box has an internal lithium battery 1600 mAh. Now let the facts, playing non-stop with full stereo sound does not last more than a 2 or 3 hours, with headphones on 4 to 6 pm, with music about 6 to 8 hours with headphones and a few videos 4 to 6 hours with headphones. Fully charging the battery takes about 4 hours, but I've noticed that if you charge for about 8 hours, but says it is full, is longer.

The device itself: It has 4 arrow keys, 4 buttons for games and menus, an ESC button, one for on / off and one to reset it if it locks. Output has a mini USB to connect to the PC, another for power transformer, one for connecting an external microphone and a headphone and cable TV. The camera is in the back with one leg to support and see the videos. Micro SD memory is inserted below. The case brings the headphones, cable TV, USB cable, transformer and the CD with drivers and software to convert videos.

Cost: On ebay you can find 2 GB version for $ 200 pesos, the 4 GB for $ 235 pesos and Limited Edition $ 287 pesos. This type of appliances if you can find 150 to 400 pesos, I have seen some bring more space, better camera, flash and divx playing, touchscreen, TV tuner, etc.. I intend this review to show the characteristics of the device itself and deny a few things from the MP5, for that matter, are all basically the same except that you buy an iPod.

The Good: - It is a MP3 MP4 player with a screen that looks very sharp and the sound is more than acceptable quality. - Has the addition of a camera also films with sound - 2 to 4 GB of space with the option of adding a Micro SD memory, plenty for most people. - An emulator where we can play NES and GBC that can also record the items in them. - Radio and utilities extras that make it more interesting - the ability to connect to the TV to play games or watch videos - The price too low to be a player, camera, console.

The Bad: - The lie that has subfolders browsing, it does not - The lie that can emulate 32-bit games, play twenty. BIN Company - The lie that records radio shows, it does not - the unwillingness of the volume that must be changed from one item every time you restart the device - The lie of the 3.0 megapixel camera when it is 1.3 - videos, music, pictures and games can only accept 500 entries. So if you loaded 1000 songs or 2000 games, just read the first 500, but others are not taken.

In short it is a great gadget, console, player, whatever you call it, has some things that could be improved, a very affordable price for all that comes and a perfect gift for Christmas if you get your pocket.
