Gaming Technology Experiments: Rabbit R1 and War Thunder

this video is sponsored by War Thunder in a world where gamers are no longer respected by the companies that they once loved any plans to make this playable on PC or uh we don't have any plans at the moment to do uh PC you guys not have phones yeah you guys it's up to one man to show the masses that they don't have to accept what these corporations are doing to them he's shown them that the people are the ones in control and they can choose to take their gaming elsewhere he's proved that gaming can take place on any device no matter how hard they might try to stop you my mind is actually blown right now that I'm installing Windows on a Mac Mini because I couldn't use Linux properly on my PS4 also I can play retro Arch on a Leap Frog and that you can do so at any time and in any place I'm gaming in here and when they needed him the most he returned which brings us to today not going to lie I saw the rabbit R1 and from the start I kind of assumed it was just going to be a giant Meme and what do you know it became a giant Meme and as an investor in the meme economy I decided it was time to do my part and do a little gaming on the rabbit R1 and before I completely obliterate this thing I do want to at least see what it's capable of right out of the box even even though I already know that it's not much if seal has been broken or tampered with do not give the clear receipt unless contents are examined in presence of delivering Agent H yes yes well I'll have to call my delivering agent and give him my clear receipt cuz this thing's getting broken and oh yeah we're tampering with it it's very bright very brightly orange like I think it's peeking my camera's sensor it looks a lot more orange in person you know of all the AI grifter stuff that's out there right now at least this one's kind of interesting considering most applications of consumer AI right now are mom look I made you doesn't this thing double as like a stand please peel off the mask with this sticker well don't mind if I do wait no no this is a free screen protector oh oh she did that's all right that has nothing to do with me reclaiming my screen protector we now have a little gamer goop but all the best devices do what is in here oh SIM card slot I'm supposed to have like a data connection for this huh well we'll see what we can do about that later for now I think we'll just give him a nice little rest you charge up buddy you got a lot of work to do [Music] soon time to let this godforsaken piece of technology on my network oh okay oh you know honestly I thought it was going to have me use the scroll wheel and then scroll through every single letter in the alphabet so this is actually a nice surprise go to rabbit. Tech activate to link your account uh okay Rabbit Hole welcome I suppose I'm signing up then why is this company allergic to capital letters not in the subject not in the email somebody ought to go fix the shift Keys over at rabbit whole name scrimmy scan the QR code with your R1 to activate your device easy enough easy enough he said I would love to if you could do anything that the thing doesn't even oh [Music] oh successfully linked to scrim account oh see here it is this is the thing I thought it was going to make me do to enter my Wi-Fi password how interesting and unique this makes my experience so much better 21 21 you stupid OTA update required I really hope that this does not break what I was trying to do which let me show you so this is how we're going to end up doing our gaming today like the Chinese translator pen this thing is also really just Android and this project R1 Escape by agent fabulous will help us do all of the following Android trickery it's actually pretty standard stuff uh as far as Android goes I guess and I didn't see anything that said that you had to to have one on like the first firmware version so hopefully this does not cause any issues I just need to experience for myself the raw power of the rabbit R1 as it is out of the box as I'm supposed to be using it like we need a point of reference are we going to end up making this thing better or will it be worse which is extra concerning considering backup and restore stock coming soon which means currently there is no way to get this thing back to Rabbit mode once I install regular Android on it and that's a little bit spooky but you know what it'll be fine it'll be fine and turns out this thing is slower than I expected and I ran out of things to ypp about so I'll see you guys in a minute oh it's ready all right rabbit show me what you got I'm dizzy hello I already forgot the tutorial wasn't it double click for camera no yes woo all right for the rest of the video we're going to film The Screen filming the desk you want to see what you guys look like wait I wanted to use the front camera all right well now we're analyzing the prison lap or not what is happening how do I use the front camera Hey look it's you there you are you're on TV okay so what happened with the picture that I accidentally took oh I mean this is why Android devices typically have a dedicated back button I'm so lost that this is the only thing I can interface with this just flips the camera do I hold it what is [Music] happening let me see based on the information shown in the image it appears that a compatibility message is being displayed the message says this studio if you're using a AMD all right enough yapping enough yapping yeah there we go all right rabbit let's see what you can do for my ego who is bringus student Brink Studios is Brink Studios with the brink truck that is so oh that's something what can you tell me about the YouTuber bringus Studios searching for information on YouTuber BR Studios that's the image that comes up that's the profile picture for my second Channel which you can check out by visiting the link in the description there's all kinds of fun stuff over there I looked at this thing I messed with this thing and I did this thing right here it's like the regular channel but worse anyway gaming content and Tech experiments huh let's see just how well it knows about my gaming content and Tech experiments all right are there any interesting YouTube videos about installing emulators on this device YouTube videos cover installing emulators on various devices including windows original Xbox and Android okay thank you for that information about emulators on YouTube okay well that was a failure are there any interesting YouTube videos about gaming on this Chinese translator pen device I apologize but the device picture does not appear to be a gaming device or like a handheld TV or media player device I would not be able to recommend any YouTube videos related to gaming on this type of device as then does not seem to be its intended purpose if you have any other questions about the capabilities or functionality of this device I'd be happy to try to assist further not a gaming or Chinese translator device imagine imagine you know what no screw this thing I wanted to see if it could do anything interesting and all it is doing is throwing shade I would way rather just play today's sponsor War Thunder War Thunder is the most comprehensive vehicle combat game ever made with over 2,500 different tanks planes helicopters and ships you can take control of everything from buy planes and armored cars from the 20s to the fighter jets and battle tanks of today War Thunder features a comprehensive customization

of premium account access all of this is only for a limited time so you got to be quick to get it all right it's Android time supposedly this is as simple as just running this one command r1. sh let's see what she do oh I think I'm supposed to do something power off your device press enter plug it into your PC okay I'm just now realizing that I don't know how to turn it off how do I turn you off oh hey that actually worked you've done one useful thing this whole time destroying yourself easy enough and because of the order that these instructions are in I'm actually going to unplug it press enter plug into PC oh oh oh wow it's going holy oh wow that was fast unplug plug your device press enter plug it back in goodness that was quick oh look at that oh wow I didn't even give you guys a chance to see what was happening wa what is this orange State your device has been unlocked and can't be trusted hello I saw that I saw the fast boot screen okay according to the script we're done is that really it hey don't look at me like that I don't like that device is corrupted it can't be trusted may not work properly it kind of just keeps boot looping here H oh troubleshooting for Linux ah very nice it appears that it has failed to load system. image and it also could not generate an image for user data okay cool what if we just run it again I wonder why it's saying that ah it's because I forgot to get the file how about now it looks like we're sending the system partition now oh two of 13 all right time Jump oh it's doing it it's doing the thing get hacked idiot leave it to the prison laptop to jailbreak yet another stupid device hi two ominous lines I'm shocked that it really kind of just was that easy start connect to mobile I'd prefer not to I hope this hello bro this seems like it will be a very problematic DPI hold on I think we can change that real quick WM density 210 there we go that's a bit better I think now is also probably a good time to get some of the smegma off the screen oh no that made it so much worse no I'm not a smegma spreader I swear okay there we go now it's good this device isn't play protect certified your device is not certified to run Google apps or use Google services hm you know for some reason I'm not surprised I'm surpris this has Google services at all cuz normally when you've got some cursed copy of Android that you put on stuff like this it doesn't have any of the Google [Music] stuff oh my dude stop what are you doing how do we turn the volume down there's no volume buttons the wheel the wheel is our savior oh my goodness that was loud oh no it didn't work it didn't work please for the love of God stop dude it's so loud it's peeking the microphone so badly wow let that be a lesson to everybody else doing this be ready anyway now that our eardrums are all collectively blown out it's Android we got the Play Store which is not play protected that's fine I don't care uh no h okay okay maybe I do care all right hold on there's some stuff I got to do to get Play Store to work all right boys what are we playing Minecraft Grand Theft Auto San Andreas inside of Netflix is Moscow life simulator a real game oh that's sperm my mobile game brain is stuck in 2009 I'm just like uh y'all want to play Angry Birds before we get into anything too stinky let's take a look at the specs so it's 640x 480 that means the games are going to run really good 4 gigs of RAM the recommended amount it's got a helio G36 CPU one of the CPUs of all time does this thing really have like 100 GB of storage that's like a lot 100 gigs that's ridiculous that's where all the cost went camera's not found it's right there stupid 79% battery that will not do the battery life I've noticed is not super good seems to drain quite quickly well shoot it's only got 1,000 milliamp hours maybe that's why this truly is a uh Android device I guess Angry Birds set up your gamer profile Dreadful slogan 73 with the default skeleton I'm down with it please specify your age to get an appropriate game experience what does that mean is it going to determine the difficulty based on my age there's no way what is this for there's no way that's what it's for all right we're 99 this level has two rooms this is so complicated dude nope what is happening why go oh it's cuz I'm in the tutorial okay activate Red's ability go whoa what the heck they fly at the screen they fly now dude # not my Angry Birds all right what else we got can we watch Netflix no way I have single-handedly made the rabbit R1 a usable device there is no chance you could watch Breaking Bad on the stock operating system it simply would not happen but can we play Grand Theft Auto Netflix nope downloading final resources to complete installation oh we don't have time for this time for another time [Music] Jump there we go that's what I'm talking about oh this is going to be awful to control oh I have an idea okay does Bluetooth work let's find out oh my God it totally does all right I've had this thing since I was like 14 yeah you know where we're going with this and in you go now we are gaming allow access to my contacts and call history yeah that seems like a good idea okay oh no I don't think they've got Bluetooth working yet oh that is so sad that's actually devastating oh no it just simply wasn't meant to be I wonder if this thing works over USB what are the odds no it just charges it well that's sad all right that's actually so lame we can't do that either dude yeah they just haven't gotten USB working either oh that is brutal this just sucks because I know that they're going to get it working at some point but that time is not right now wait hold on I figured it out okay so Bluetooth is just it does not work USB host that doesn't work either however we can connect this thing to a computer and then run a tool called screen copy open that up and look at that bye well we can control this guy through our computer and that's all fine and dandy but that's not very conducive to gaming right but ladies and gentlemen it is all worth it because with our controller connected to the PC over Bluetooth and I have to use this very very specific version of the program that has gam pad support we can just highlight this here window and we are gaming oh the dream is alive and well folks unfortunately with that USB cable positioning this is going to be a little awkward but look at that I'm going to kill the lights so we can see a little better oh my goodness goodness it's [Music] beautiful wow you good the input lag's like really not that bad like it's not good but you know have you seen the setup oh so keep in mind we are going to be losing a little bit of performance because we're also streaming the screen of this thing over USB back to the computer this is not the worst way I have ever played Minecraft it's like downright not that well okay well when that happens it's not bad when that doesn't happen oh I forgot this controller um it only has shoulder buttons doesn't have triggers okay there we go oh oh that's not good when this thing gets proper Bluetooth or USB support I bet you this is just going to be fine hey hey hey don't judge it's only for one night okay I'm going to disconnect screen copy real quick and I want to see if this actually does take a lot of the performance away cuz it's running like pretty good it's even stopped stuttering now the camera's not really going to show it cuz the camera is limited to 30 FPS in real life I would say probably somewhere around like 40 45 that's what it feels like at least okay screen copy has been disconnected controller is no more oh this is so bad this is just terrible I mean the frame rate's fine it looks like we gained maybe just a little bit of performance maybe like five more FPS it's not a humongous difference all right we're connecting back but any old stupid device can run Minecraft how many of them can run Super Monkey Ball 2 in the wrong orientation oh that's okay that's okay oh h dude I've ran dolphin on a lot of piece of crap devices but I've never heard it be this demented this sounds like the Homer Simpson bottle opener that has a dying [Applause] battery I think it took about one whole minute for the ball to go down the lane one of the buttons is stuck or one of the sticks or something hello oh my God I am in the final layer of Hell listen to [Applause] this let's see if this is any better without streaming it back to the PC the answer is a resounding no okay clearly this thing is not going to be handling GameCube so let's try the Wii you know buddy I just don't really know if you're cut out for GameCube or Wii emulation I hate to break it to you oh is this unskippable all right I don't think we need to see the new Super Mario Bros Wii I think we're good Netflix may have failed us but through the power of the Sony PSP we can and play Grand Theft Auto look at this this runs mint it's fine that was supposed to happen I genuinely could not ask for this to run better this is great absolutely Beyond acceptable there might be hope for you yet rabbit but can it play halflife oh you bet you look at that up there what is that 70 something FPS it looks so crisp too this is an app called zash 3D and my goodness does this thing run good it would certainly run better with a use key though I I will admit well that's fine we don't need the HV suit we're on the good timeline the timeline where the resident Cascade never happened Gordon went into the locker room decided not to suit up that day and he decided to go into the lunchroom and share a casserole with a friend now back on the real halflife timeline that's that's right somebody figured out a way to shoehorn the source engine onto this thing oh look at that it's even got the save that I always load when I test halflife 2 that's just perfect no no no no no no no no no no no no I'm dead I'm so dead no it took so long to load the map dude okay that wasn't too bad this is not a good save where's the car I I can't even attack cuz this thing doesn't have triggers it only has bumpers Dude where's the car what an awful save why did I do this to myself time to load another map oh never mind it's the same map wait what what just happened to the controls what the heck I'm looking with the left stick oh this is not going to do this is not good no idea what happened there you know what this is working this is working it's not impressive but it's a hell of a lot better than dolphin was no clue what FPS this is but if I had to guess I'd say like 15 wa what the heck what the heck you're not supposed to see from this point of view my character is like lagging behind the car halflife 2 Android moment this might be the worst way I've ever played halflife 2 just just maybe I'm actually not sure what I'd rather play this or the original Xbox release oh this is going to be a tricky one can I make it can I make it over the jump not a chance pretty epic and now for one last trick doom and actually I don't even need this PC connection anymore cuz we're streaming it with parek baby my Bluetooth controller that has just been connected to the PC the whole time is now just controlling the PC ah and I still didn't find the fire key every single time with this stupid controller hey there we go there we go and it's too late streaming over parac actually works pretty good there's your standard uh input delay for streaming I suppose but other than that that's quite playable except for the fact that I suck it's no good if you're bad so I don't think you guys need me to tell you uh not to buy this if you want to go down a fun Rabbit Hole of your own go ahead and look up what rabbit the company is up to it's nothing good and despite all their shadiness it's just it's not a it's not a good device even installing Android on it I mean it's a hell of a lot more usable than it was I got to admit and this is the current state of it because you can get like 90% of the functionality of this thing by doing this who is bringus Studios pH John bringus better known yep there we go but this was fun definitely brought me back to
