Has anyone had a chance to try both units? I'm going to pick one up but am not sure which to go for. JXD has a great screen but the Shield will be better made. Any thoughts? Shield costs more but price isn't a factor.

The original sheild or the tablet? Depends if your looking for control based gaming on the go then the JXD, but you can bet your bottom dollar the nvidia is the much better device. -
Shield is a lot more powerfully specced so the emulation should be much smoother.Comment

The original Shield is what I'm looking at, not the tablet.Comment

I've had a jxd for a few months now, and think its great, mine is running stock too.. I prefer to use stand alone emulators over the supplied game centre "happy chick" I did look at the shield, bit couldn't warrant the extra cost. Build quality on mine is flawless, mine son has one too, his is also bang on too. I have heard of build quality issue's, but if you're buying new you can always return it.Comment

God.. I keep looking at the JXD.. and now some of the sub ?100 windows tablets.. decisions decisions..Comment

Yeah, I keep thinking about one too...
I'm glad Colin's got snapped up at Christmas as I was about to buy it from him.Comment

Just get one bought, trust me its a great little machine, yeah its not as polished as the well known brands of tablets, but it sure makes up for it with its out of the box retro goodness...
Did I mention you can hook it up to a tv and you can use your usb pads or fightsticks too??

The point if the jxd is the built in controls, both my kids have a nexus 7, the wife a Samsung tablet and myself a Link 7, gimme the jxd to play games on any day of the week.Comment

What ultimately killed the JXD for me was it's an utter pain in the arse to get working the way you want, and comes with no clear instructions. Chojin managed it all no bother but I personally just couldn't grasp it. On the occasions I got things running well it was a great bit of kit, but way more often that not I just found it incredibly frustrating to use.Comment

One JXD I used took ten mins to have everything working great. The other wouldn't work properly at all.Comment

Once set up its just a case of drag & dropping roms in the specific folders for the respective emulator. If you use the pre-loaded stuff you don't have to do anything. But I chose to use different emulators. Dreamcast was the only one that gave me some grief...Comment

i have the nvidia tegra note tablet and its a very well made bit of kit, id go with a shield if i where you. I use a bluetooth controler for my note and it makes an ace little emulator machine.Last edited by Lebowski; 16-02-2015, 09:43.Comment

This was an interesting read, k0pp0, thanks. It actually lead me to this article:Originally posted by k0pp0 View Post
I already have an Asus Transformer T100 but had no idea it could run something like Half-Life 2! I now need to look at Steam for it.
Here it is against a Nvidia Shield:
