Nope, for myself I want a Linux OS option before I even consider a device. give me a RG350P design that can play God of War for PS2 (not the PSP version) at 1x-1.5x resolution at a full 60fps, no tinkering with settings required outside of downloading an updated emulator for it, for no more than $150 and I'll strongly consider it. Also, It's gotta have 2 micro SD slots, HDMI out, stacked shoulder buttons where the R2 & L2 are analogue. Don't get me wrong this device does get some things right, that screen that goes from the top to the bottom with minimal bezel is sweet (unlike the RK2023) also I've been crying to have the start/select and function buttons positioned BELOW the face buttons, analogue sticks and directional pad, this moves the users hands higher on the device allowing your fingers and palm to get more contact with the device thus a more comfortable experience.

Can you set the RG405's default Home Launcher to be Daijisho so the home button sends you back to Daijisho instead of the default home screen? It should be in the settings under Default Apps or Home Screen settings. I don't have the RG405M so I can't confirm but on my android device that I've modified to be a retro handheld using Daijisho as the frontend it works perfectly. That said, good review! I'm hesitating between this device and the Retroid Pocket 3+ :)!

Nice comparisons! That said, there is not much size difference for 4:3 content compared to the RP3+, but a huge difference for PSP, Wii and WiiWare. There are a lot of games that also play great on the T618. DS also has more space. Factor in the better resolution and shoulder button design, sticking with the RP3+.
@TeamGun Жыл бұрын
rp3+ is a 4/10 for me, I'm ordering the rg405m. rp3+ screen ratio is awful for gamecube/ps2 which is 4:3 640x480 native, the dpad is jacked up and differs from the buttons (tech doesn't match feels weird mush buttons and clicky dpad...the fuck?), plus the rp3+ feels like cheap plastic compared to this.

Im 40 yrs old and not too tech savy but have just stumbled upon these handheld emulators. Ive purchased a miyoo mini plus and a anbernic rg353v but would like a horizontal handheld to play ps1/ps2 and N64 games.. what would be an easier (ready to go) handheld for these? Im looking at the rg405m or the retroid pocket 3 plus.. also is the stock os (linux/android) ok or should i try and figure out garlic os install? Cheers!!
@retrohandhelds Жыл бұрын
The 405 and rp4+ both run android and it's a good experience overall, if you want mostly 4:3 stuff like N64, PS1 and a decent amount of PS2 then go for the 405m.
