Wait how do you use analog triggers on ps2?? 😮 are you emulating the analog face buttons?

Nice review dude. I hope to see a drastic shift in these devices, I've got the original retroid pocket, just seems they revamp the shell with a tiny upgrade.

If they use the sti ks and triggers with a bit more power and a slightly larger screen they have a whopper on their hands.

I have the Retroid Pocket 2+ and this is a great improvement. Dual hall analog sticks, analog triggers, a tad more powerful. This checks off many boxes for me.

@@Zen.bassoonI have both 2S and 3+ and there is a night and day difference between them. New Rp2S layout is fantastic when you want to use D-pad and Play old retro games but when you try to use triggers with sticks then it's a far way from comfortable experience. Shell is to boxy and there is not enough room for fingers. Rp3+ is a different story, with additional grip it's so comfortable as my Steam Deck. Rp2S has better buttons but in overall Rp3+ with 16/9 screen is a better device.

This is a great video! is there any chance that using custom os can we get a better hdmi out thing so not 480 p. That seems like a great idea. I liked how he talked about streaming because that is something that a lot of people would like to do me included. thanks for this review! And I saw your giving away miyoo mini pluses! That's crazy! Is subscribing all I have to do?

Yup, got a few free ones and people want them so I'm just picking a few random subs over the next weeks. And thank you! As for output I'm not sure how great it is to screen. I would check our @retrogamecorps video he goes over that. I personally don't ever use it. I'll have to add it to my next vid.

For me this device is nearly perfect, but not quite good enough. It just needs a little more power so it can play PS2 and GC games better. I hope in the future a version comes out that uses the rk3588s chipset.

Fine but it is a small screen for that I'd go with something with a 16:9 screen vs 1:1 square. Retroid makes the Retroid Pocket 3+ which might be a bit getter for those games.

The hard to emulate games won't work, but a large amount of the PS2 and GameCube library will work fine with some settings tweaks.
