This is my first retro console device, I'm really impressed. You can expand the psp to full screen. the 4:3 is perfect for retro games as you don't have those borders to play it perfectly. The android games like symphony of the night fit perfect without black bars and other older console titles ported. Sadly the screen has popped on the right side and I have reached out to ambernic amd hopefully get it sorted soon.

I just got mine a couple of days ago and I love how portable it is for the type of games it is able to play. I’m more of an action/fighter/shooter gamer so I’m in a different genre than the majority of people who play handheld. I like how I’m able to just put it in my pocket when I’m done, feels just like a phone. I’m glad it can play some PS2 and GameCube games, and if I get an itch to play PS2, I try to find a similar game in the PSP library. If I REALLY wanted to play ps2 games, then I pack my steam deck in my bag and take that with me. It just takes up too much space. 😅 I’ll probably stick with the 405m until somebody out there eventually can make a system that can handle PS2 and GameCube games almost natively in the same size

You deserve way more Subs. You do a phenomenal job in explaining things. 😊

Before I place my order, I thought I’d ask if MAME is compatible on here. There are a lot of Toaplan, Cave and Capcom shooters I love to play, so that would be a big selling point. Great video and thanks for all the info!

You talk about higher resolution but most retro games you play on this are close integers of 640x480. Dreamcast is exactly 640x480 so it is perfect 1:1 pixel map. Others like NeoGeo and arcade, Genesis (Genesis is very slightly less than 240 but integer scale will be clean with very small screen size loss), PS1 are very close to if not exactly 320x240 so they easily double to an even 640x480 without distorted pixels or blurry bilinear filtering. The only thing higher res will really make a difference with is Android games and stuff like Switch.

Great review. Are you Henchman 21 from Venture Bros? You sound just like him.

Great review! I love playing SNES on my Retroid 3+. Which can display larger text in 4:3 on the RG405M and Retroid3+? I have presbyopia and would like to display larger text.

Why do you need a higher resolution? With 640*480 you get pixel perfec DC and GC, and even scaling of 320x240 games, which is also "pixel perfect". The 4:3 screen is the whole point of this device (and I'm waiting for mine atm). Did you try GC Resident Evil games on this?

Thank you for showcasing Tetris! Did you notice any false diagonals that were particularly detrimental in any games you played?

What’s the best (preferably vertical) handheld for purely retro games? Nintendo NES/SNES/64, Sega Mega Drive/Genesis/Game Gear, Gameboy? Can this one be it or would it be overkill? Not really interested in PSx/Wii, etc.

Liked and Subbed Thanks

awesome video! Did I hear right that you can download stuff directly to the device? ( legal stuff only of course.)

Does upscaling do anything since the screen can only output 480? Not a dealbreaker for me just curious if I misinterpreted the total resolution of the device.

What tweaks did you do for Simpsons Hit and Run PS2?

I just ordered this. Can u tell me if it comes with final fantasy tactics? Thanks

Are you gonna review the retroid flip?

Hey I've got one of these. On their front end when I play ps1 the game opens with retroarch even though duckstation is installed - is there anyway to set it to open with duckstation? Just so I can up resolution etc

Make a tuto for switch please

I wish they had a 16:10 version, since it scales to 4:3 and 16:9 better than either do to each other. Moreover, Gameboy advance is 3:2 which also stretches on 4:3 while 16:10 would give enough room for a cool border instead of basic black borders on a tiny(er) image or stretched GBA to 4:3. 16:10 is also what old PAL consoles use (720 × 480P for things like Dreamcast, GameCube and Xbox) so it'd really be rad to have one.

Hi, where u order ur console and how long u wait?

Everybody is doing reviews, but no videos on how to install emulators & roms!

how to setting gameboy games with colour 😱 ?

why does everyone that does a review on the rg405 never mention the rg505 which came out before and also has the same chipset as the retroid pocket 3 plus also even, the people that did a review on the 505 first never bring it up on the 405 review like they are trying to pretend the 505 didnt exist

I just purchased this debit and I have no damn super Mario games smh
