This page lists console variants of the Play Vision Portable (PVP); this list also includes the "PXP" and "PVE" systems. Due to the particular ubiquity of the PVP line (which likely consists of hundreds of models in total), this page is incomplete, and mostly focuses on standard and/or better-documented models. The consoles (within their respective sections) are listed by their approximate or assumed release order.
Note that the systems labeled as "standard" models are versions that were primarily designed in China/Hong Kong, and were distributed in multiple overseas markets (including on shopping websites such as Aliexpress). Other categorized sections are models that were distributed exclusively in Indonesia, and are sorted by their publisher. In most cases, console variants featuring identical software are categorized as one "version" in the list. Additionally, variants featuring identical packaging and console ID (or a shared lack of ID) are categorized together as one entry in the list, even if their software differs.
Famicom/NES-based systems[]
Standard models[]
| Console ID | Multi-game ID(s) | Links | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|

Some models feature pre-applied stickers on the consoles below the face buttons, using characters such as Spider-Man, Bowser, and Hello Kitty. Reuses the "Super Mario Bros. & Felix the Cat" intro and interface, though it is unknown if the game list is the same. |

The earlier version features Upin & Ipin 3 (listed as "Small Baldhead") and Choujinrou Senki Warwolf (intentionally mislabeled as "Crash").[1] The later version features the rarely-seen Dance Gangnam Style.[2] |

| AEF-390 (VT02) |
N/A (built-in 888888-in-1) |
[12] | Non-PVP branded; reportedly connected to CoolBoy. Oddly, it features a full 60-pin Famicom slot (though does not come bundled with a cartridge). Opens with a Gangnam Style intro with no title logo. Includes the Crash IV: The Dream Master hack. One of few models to have been dumped and emulated. |
| CT-01 (Pocket Boy HD, VT02) |

[13][14] | Non-PVP branded; does not feature a cartridge slot. Features an opening intro based on Angry Birds Seasons (using Halloween motifs), with no title logo. Features a fairly large count of 91 actual games, including the Crash and Shaun The Sheep hacks and many 256k MMC3 titles. |

KT VTB900000xx (built-in 900000-in-1) KT VTF111000xx (111000-in-1 cart) KT VTF222000xx (222000-in-1 cart) |
[15] | Capable of running two cartridges (branded as "Super Classic Cards"), but some releases only include one of the two compatible carts. Features an opening intro based on Angry Birds Seasons (using Halloween motifs), with text reading "PVP2000"; the same intro is used in some variants of the GB Station Light II. Notably features many of the Touch Game Player-affiliated hacks. Resold by SQONYY as the PVP 8000,[3] and by Foyu as the "Boyu PVP".[4][5] |
| PVP3000 (PVP Station Light 3000, VT02) |
KT VTB900000xx (built-in 900000-in-1) KT VTF111000xx (111000-in-1 cart) KT VTF222000xx (222000-in-1 cart) |
[16][17][18] | Capable of running two cartridges (branded as "Super Classic Cards"), but some releases only include one of the two compatible carts. Labeled "PVP Station Light" (without 3000) on the console itself. Produced in multiple box designs, sometimes reusing the box design of the extensive series listed below. Identical to the PVP-2000 version in content, but output on a poor, lower-resolution screen. The title animation is changed to read "PVP3000" rather than 2000. Resold by Foyu (under the same name),[6] and by Lehuai as the "P-3000".[7] |
| N/A (PVP Station Light 3000/PVP Pocket Light, VTxx) |
"NJ" REV0: NJCxxx18x (built-in 999999-in-1, 888888-in-1 cart, 777777-in-1 cart) "NJ" REV1: NJC3xx183 (built-in menu [x6], 888888-in-1 cart) |
[19][20] | Bundled with one to two cartridges; some releases only include one of two compatible cards. Labeled PVP Station Light 3000 on the box (featuring Crash winking and the Super Smash Bros. Brawl render of Mario), and labeled PVP Pocket Light on the console itself. Consoles using this box greatly vary in content, with at least seven different game lists known to appear on them. They are generally VT32-based, though a few revisions use VT02 (or VT02-like) hardware; the latter versions appear to reuse their ROMs from the "PVE" consoles. Some models feature categorized menus while others do not. Later revisions use ROMs with the copyright bylines hacked to credit Touch Game Player's (now defunct) website. Some versions feature IDs beginning with "NJ" (likely short for Nanjing), while others are "NC" (possibly referring to Nice Code); in addition to various other combinations. "NJ" versions use a line-up of mostly standard NROM and MMC3 titles; it is possible that they are VT369-based rather than VT32, though this is unconfirmed. The earlier "NJ" revision was also sold as the PVP II Crash 9.[8] "NC" versions generally feature opening intros, and notably include MMC1, UxROM, and CNROM games (in addition to NROM and MMC3). Some "NC" releases use games from the series of PVP educational programs.[9] Some consoles feature opening intros, including ones themed after soccer,[9] Gangnam Style,[10] Contra: Hard Corps,[11] and Pen Pineapple Apple Pen.[12] A What Does The Fox Say? version was also produced, though its ID is unknown. |
| "NC" REV0: NCx50830x (built-in menu [x6], [xx]-in-1 cart) "NC" REV1: NCCxxx340 (built-in menu [x6], 888888-in-1 cart, 777777-in-1 cart) "NC" REV2: NCC3xx3xC (built-in 999999-in-1, 888888-in-1 cart) |
[21][22][23][24] | ||
| N/A (PVP Game, VT02) |
N/A (built-in 168-in-1) |

N/A (built in menu [x6], 999999-in-1 cart, 666666-in-1 cart) |
[27] | Modeled after the PS Vita; capable of running two cartridges, but some releases only include one of the two compatible carts. The built-in menu features a digitized splash screen, similar to the PD Wish Game systems. The ROM for this system is also used on some variants of the extensive PVP Station Light 3000/PVP Pocket Light series. Resold by SY Corp. under ID SY-989.[19] |
| N/A (PVE 3 Slim GETAR-station, VT02) |
N/A (built in menu [x6], 888888-in-1 cart, 777777-in-1 cart) |
[28][29] | Modeled after the PS Vita; capable of running two cartridges, but some releases only include one of the two compatible carts. Labeled as just "PVE Slim GETAR-station" on the box (without the 3). The ROM for this system is also used on some variants of the extensive PVP Station Light 3000/PVP Pocket Light series. |
| N/A (PVE Slim GETAR-station/PVE New game station, VT32) |
NHC38x376 (built in menu [x6], 888888-in-1 cart, 777777-in-1 cart) |
[30] | Modeled after the PS Vita; capable of running two cartridges, but some releases only include one of the two compatible carts. Box art is very similar to the above model, but uses a different central image. Features a Contra: Hard Corps opening intro; uses a somewhat-redone menu compared to consoles from the extensive PVP Station Light 3000/PVP Pocket Light series. |

Sega Mega Drive/Genesis-based systems[]
Standard models[]
| Console ID(s) | Multi-game ID(s) | Links | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| MD-270G (PVP 2 Pocket 16, Firecore hardware) MD-270P (PVP 2 Pocket 8, Firecore hardware) |
N/A (built-in 38000-in-1, 66666-in-1 cart) |
[38][39] | The earliest known Firecore-based model(s); bundled with one cartridge. The menu does not feature preview images or background music. The "Pocket 16" version uses an original console design, while the "Pocket 8" uses the same PSP-modeled shell as other units. The "Pocket 8" box uses Sonic Riders artwork. |
| MD-270P (PVP 2 Pocket Light, Firecore hardware) |
Unknown (built-in 999888-in-1, 900000-in-1 cart, 999666-in-1 cart) |
Shares the "MD-270P" ID of the prior revision, with a slightly modified box featuring Crash (while still using central Sonic Riders artwork). This is the first known Firecore-based model to feature preview images and background music. At least two revisions with entirely different software exist, despite sharing the same box and game count. The earlier version comes with one "900000 in 1 Random Special" cartridge (featuring an image of Tails). The built-in menu features 99 actual games (its first game being Super Mario World), including uncommon titles such as Sonic Eraser and Tetris. Sonic the Hedgehog erroneously starts on Scrap Brain Zone Act 2 on this console. The later version is identical in content to the later-released (and more common) "MD-2700" PVP3/PXP3 model detailed below. Includes two cartridges rather than one. This model notably features Angry Birds and the Firecore-based Bubbles Master (Shenzhen Niutai). | |
| MD-2700 (PXP3 Slim station, Firecore hardware) |
NFT877666 (built-in 999888-in-1) NFC825666 (900000-in-1 cart) NFP936721 (999666-in-1 cart) |
[40][41] | Bundled with two cartridges. Game contents are identical to the later revision of the above model, including using the same cartridge labels. Among the most common models, seemingly due to it being widely imported on shopping websites. Also sold under the name "PVP3 Pocket Light", the console ID of which is unknown.[20] Known to have been redistributed by companies such as Cheertone. |
| MD-2700 (?) (PXP3 Slim station, Radica hardware) SX-70 (PXP3 Slim station, Radica hardware) |
N/A (built-in 999999-in-1, 888888-in-1 cart) |
[42][43][44] | Bundled with one cartridge. Earlier releases (showing Mario holding a tennis racket on the box) feature no IDs outside of the instruction manual, which shares the "MD-2700" ID of the prior revision. An alternate version (featuring Batman and two Sonics on the box) was released under the ID SX-70. Game lists are inconsistently sorted between consoles; despite seemingly sharing the same games, and using the same menu count and design. A rebranded version was released by Data Frog. |

| DW-888 (PVP 2, Firecore hardware) |
NFAA8xx005 (built-in menu) NFAA81E005 (666999-in-1 cart) NFAA81F005 (666777-in-1 cart) |
