We will have ps3 running on these by 2024, trust me

Same here, we are just entering the Golden age of handheld consoles and its obvious.

@@allergictobs9751 been following these since 2020 and we finally got good n64 performance this year lmao

@skynet8646 the steamdeck barely qualifies as a portable. It's simply too big. This is not.

@skynet Yes but its a beast. Not very pocketable.

I got the flip to take on the go! steam deck is THE best emualtion but its just so big.

Thanks so much! Hope you enjoy the future videos as well 😊

I think because it’s the same art style, it still looks good to me. I find myself choosing an upscaled PS1 game over remasters. I like to imagine if HD and widescreen was possible, this is what it would have been without changing the core of the game. But I definitely understand your point of view too! That’s why 4:3 handhelds are still so important to have available to choose from!

I agree. This looks like it needs a bit more power.. and this company creates updated handhelds almost every couple of months. I've got too much to play on my steam deck, so I'm happy to see what 2023 brings to small handhelds.

Honestly if you don't mind the added cost, the best emulation handheld (and portable pc) would be the Steam Deck

@wolfgang00money of course. Why would they do that when they can slowly release consoles with weak specs when they know people will buy them? Only marginally updating it slowly to milk it as much as possible

@Wolf gang AYN Odin

Try to find a better device for this price point, I'll be waiting.

Definitely. All emulators are from the Google Play Store where credits to the creators can be found except the version of Dolphin MMJR that came pre-loaded with modifications. I’m sure the about screen has more info within the app.

@@ScatteredBrain we know the 'about page' has more info, i believe AllergicToBS meant that the creators deserve a public shout-out in your video.

Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻

So Stephan do you mean the RP3 had better buttons?

They sell a button conversion kit for a decent price on their site for the RP3+

See this is what grinds my gears, people complained how horrible and lazy retroid was for not installing membrane buttons right out the box. All the youtubers I've seen complained about this. But if you check out comments on rp3+, they all complained about how the clicky buttons were more superior 🤦🏿‍♂️ its like the consumers don't understand what they want and just want to complain. I swapped my case of rp3 snes onto my yellow rp3+ and kept dpad clicky and buttons membrane. It's all preference, but I appreciate retroid for giving free swappable buttons and motherboards!

Glad you’re enjoying the RP3+!

That's awesome

I was thinking to even swap the PCBs!

I'm looking for a PS2 handheld emulator, can you recommend one apart from this one??

can say since this comment the apps have optimized pretty damn good and I'm finding a better time on PS2 games than GC now

I just got a retroid pocket 3+ last week and I love it. I can say by now that most ps2/GameCube, and even a lot of 3ds games run perfectly if you tweak the settings. These apps and emulators are always updating to newer versions and the games will always run smoother as they progress. There are guides all on KZfaq that show you the specific adjustments for each game.

You’re going to love my next video 😂 Going to take a deep dive look into the Anbernic rg505.

I ordered mine on December 24, and got it today January 6th. It said pre order for me too but it shipped really fast I wasn’t expecting it to come for about a month. Should of just been patient

Ordered my 3+ 2 days ago, joined their discord and asked for expedited shipping options, they just shipped it today 🤩 comes in a week!

Odin is definitely in my list of best handheld or 2022! Enjoy it! 😊

So awesome! Enjoy the device, thanks for watching 😊

Everything was out of the box except God of War I did some massive under-clocking! I was using mostly NTSC, except for PS2 Hit and Run, I used the PAL version

It’s for additional controls like quick access to clearing ram, enabling a floating FPS counter and the on screen key mapper. It’s a good call out. I could see it annoying people but for me since it’s so minimal i barely notice it

Yea this is the clear blue in different lighting. Thanks for watching! 😊

I don’t think you would need to do that since you can map the right analog stick to be your c buttons! I have had no issues with any of the harder to emulate N64 games - although for games like Pokémon Snap I have had to change some emulator settings from their defaults.

@@ScatteredBrain oh that’s even better. Using the joystick for C. Is every 64 game already preloaded or would I have to download Roms. Also I don’t even play Pokémon so that wouldn’t be an issue

No

And 47 fps is "playable" for you on Simpsons? Pretty much kills your credibility.

yes good call out. It does look like shipping can range from $15 - $50 depending on location, it’s calculated at check out before you make the final purchase. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻

It is true if you take just one unit alone, it will be that expensive. But for some reason if you spend additional 10$ the shipping will be cheaper. You need to spend another 10$ to make shipping cheaper. No idea how that works but 2 days ago I ordered 1 unit + screen protector and memory card reader which is 5$ each to EU and it costed me 177$ (167€) with shipping. Play around with items from accessories or DIY and let it calculate shipping cost. There is even 1$ item and you can keep adding those until you see the price drop. And then find something useful in the store of that amount to buy. Not gonna lie I wish Anbernic had the same system. I would like to get my hands on RG35XX and RG353M. But RG35XX goes from $55 to $82 with shipping and RG353M goes from $145 to $192 -.-

Mines was $187 all in. 1 Console, 2 screen protectors, 1 carry case, delivery.

@spagh retriods own website. Have to wait on shipping tho as back orders etc

I understand but don't all handhelds have the added shipping costs? Is an Aya Odin or RG505 free in shipping?

Solid choice! Definitely in my top handhelds out this year! Thanks for watching 🙏🏻

@@ScatteredBrain i should get it later today from dhl

Emulators are not hard to use for the most part. Most of the time you just boot them up and load a ROM of your choice. Where it gets difficult is when you have a game/system that may require special settings to run properly (If at all). With emulators being around for as long as they have been though, usually you can find a guide somewhere to help you troubleshoot a particular issue. My advise, get comfortable with the use of emulators before investing money on a device like this. They are not hard but you would want to make sure you actually like emulation before investing 150+ into a device.

@@beedos08 does this come included with ps2 games ? Or will I have to get my own ROMS?

@@cmcristian46 for legal reasons you will need to get your own roms. However, a quick Google search for, say, PS2 roms should have some interesting results.

I recently purchased a 3+ in November. It took about a month to arrive.

Very different options! I’ve been messing with the Vita more recently since the new jailbreak. You won’t get full speed N64, but playing vita and PSP games are fantastic. PS1 is great too but missing the L2 and R2 could have an impact sometimes. As of now, you can’t get Vita games emulated on Android. Although it sounds like that could change soon - but hard to say if they’ll run at full speed right away.

Vita3k emulator is out. More options for android devices

It's not even close there are phones that play Xbox 360 and ps3

In price I know it saves you at least a 1.000 dollars compared to flagship phones that recently came out.

@@dabman9688 BS! WHERE?

@@Edwinschuur which is why you get a cheap chinese phone or used old flagship from lg, samsung whatever, for 200$ you can get much stronger devices than this thing.

Not a dumb question at all! There’s no games included with this device. You’ll have to add them yourself. It has 128gb of internal storage which is plenty to get some games loaded up on the device, but you will probably want to get a microSD card for additional storage. Thanks for watching! 😊

It is available now! Shipping can take a few weeks I believe because they do batch orders. So even though the button says pre order it will be ordered and take 3-4 weeks most likely.

You'll need a processor that is a snapdragon 870 level and above for that. And if accounting for thermal throttling you'll need the snapdragon 8 gen 1

It can’t

Nah no ROMs are pre-loaded. I think this is a benefit though - yes you need to acquire your own games, but usually when games are included you get a bunch of mis-named repeat games.

It doesn’t - my understanding is that it’s extraordinarily accurate emulation using software rendering, but you’ll be bottle necked by the CPU which can’t handle the same graphics processing as a GPU. My caveat to this message is I didn’t look up how accurate this is - it’s what I’m assuming based on the description of software rendering. Thanks for watching! 😊

It’s more blue than green but it does feel like it’s got a hint of greenish in it. It’s mostly my lighting that gave it that effect though!

YES. I hate android even though it runs on Linux

Nah not every game will work

Yes! It supports HDMI out with the micro HDMI Port at the top! Check out my RP3 video and I go a bit more in depth

I find the device very comfortable, even after extended play. I think it’s because of the stacked triggers despite the analog stick below the d pad

It’s called clear blue on the Retroid site - it’s validating to know I’m not color blind 😂. Their site also has an “orange” that I swear is yellow. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻

@@ScatteredBrain I swear it was green lmao

Me too. It’s 100% green 🤣

It’s “pre-order” because I believe they wait for a batch order, so there isn’t a surplus of devices. It’s definitely released, and from other comments sounds like shipping will be 2-3 weeks. Thanks for watching! 🙏🏻

I got mines 3 week with DHL. After I ordered

It IS blue. It was just the way I lit everything it came out pretty green tinted, buts definitely translucent blue

The Retroid Pocket 2S IS green (just released my review of that 😊)

Thanks! @@ScatteredBrain

You can buy just the PCB off Retroid’s site which will save you nearly 50% of the cost of just getting a new device - but not necessarily as modular as “plug and play”. the site mentions it IS a bit of work to get it installed.

@@ScatteredBrain It should be an easy upgrade if the just make the pcb seperated from all the buttons, controller pads, charging and battery module, graphic driver board and make the pcb with standard layout for all versions. Then they can sell all things from upgraded PCBs, upgraded controller, upgraded displays, different shell forms, large batteries etc. Should save them much manufacturing cost, also potentially better profit margin. As for the consumer, instead of buying a whole new console, they can just pick upgrades they needed or simply slowly one by one according to their budget.

It’s in the description 😊

Fans would mean a much larger, less pocketable device so there are definitely trade-offs.

@@ScatteredBrain like the Switch Lite? It has fans and is the same form factor and is $200. It would be ideal if I could put Android on my Switch Lite but it's a pain

Yes absolutely!

@@ScatteredBrain awesome. thank you! i just ordered mine today. the black one.

Enjoy!

Nope! No games. It may seem like a negative but in reality this is great. Devices that include games are notoriously poor quality with tons of duplicates along with a poor game selection

@@ScatteredBrain is there an inside software I can use to download ROMS? Or will I have to download them and find them on my own.
