Not sure how many of you have the first model or even the 2 model of this handheld gaming laptop or not, but felt for those that did could come together and speak more about it. I have to say LaunchBox & BigBox do very well on it, but the big issue I'm having is the battery in which it dies in less time than the gauge and has started to swell in the case to where I so need to find a replacement battery. I've been searching around for one, but came across mostly other forum posts giving a runaround saying not to trust this place or that place or whatever. So hopefully in this thread we can figure out things about the battery and whatever else related to this handheld that we can trade knowledge on in making our experience with it more fun than before

This is still very much a WIP as I test what games do and do not work well on this awesome little handheld, but I am very satisfied with how well these two work together. For those who are unaware, the GPD Win is a handheld Windows 10 device sporting an Intel Atom z8700 that is about the size of a 3DS XL which is just fantastic for portability. It has a built-in XInput controller, so I don't really need to do any tweaking to get Big Box working here. I copied my Desktop's LaunchBox/Big Box over to this little wonder and started sorting the games out, and I feel I've sorted out enough to give you guys a general idea of just how well this works. It runs a decent amount of PS2 and GC games smoothly, as well as a couple of more recent titles. Big box runs like a dream on here, effectively turning this mini PC into the ultimate handheld console. Apologies for the terrible quality in the photos. Screenshots of the collection wouldn't do the concept of this whole thing very much justice and I only have a phone camera ;_;
