I absolutely love mine. I ordered it with the grips. They didn't send the grips AND they sent the wrong color and I still can't be mad. This device is absolutely amazing for ps2 and GC. Plus many many others.

Title is absolutely bang on. RP4P just does it all in such a great form factor. It's kind of the dark horse of handhelds to me. Everyone talks about all the other devices out there, but in the glory days of GBC, GBA, NDS the biggest reason I loved those so much was they were always with me in my pocket. RP4P is really the only one out there that can do GC/PS2 emulation while still being incredibly portable. We've got the Odin 2 Mini coming out that should be fairly similar in size, but at a $330 price point. RP4P still will be the best bang for your buck at $200.

Picked this bad boy up on a whim. Had been eyeing a steam deck forever but couldnt justify it. Had the gamesir x2 pro phone controller and used steam link on a beefed up PC. Plus my phone has a SD 8 gen 1 soc which is better than the RP4P but it was cumbersome. Phone didnt have expandable memory, when i wanted to play i had to dig out my controller etc. Opted for this thing and its great with the grips. Unusable without. Swtich emulation is nuts for this thing. Only things i dont like are the joystick placement (grip makes it way more comfortable) and the screen leaves more to be desired but not terrible. The form factor + power is the absolute killer combo as well as the price. Id feel like such a nerd whipping out a behemoth handheld PC like the deck vs this little guy.

Glad to see someone showing the Anbernic Arc D/S some love. We need more devices with six buttons on the front, it's really nice for fighting games. The Retroid Pocket 4 Pro and Steam Deck are still my favorite devices I have bought over the years. The PS Vita is also a really great device, especially since I can't get a bunch of Vita games running right on the Android emulator. The Vita had a lot of great games and does pretty well with the systems I've emulated on there (mostly arcade and older consoles).

@@adinwalls which is basically what it came down to. The 3D effect is something I genuinely enjoy (I know it can be devisive), but the clarity of the Retroid's screen and ability to play PS2, PSP, wii and GameCube just make this the better investment. Plus, as I just turned 40, sometimes the ease of having one device for all my old games in one place just seems so much more appealing than all the work of managing different devices for different games.

I have the RP3+ and am mostly happy with it. I don't need PS2 games, and the gamecube games I'd want to play, play just fine on it. If anything, I'd want to upgrade to the 4 pro for the slightly larger buttons and the sticks. But that's not enough of a reason to shell out close to double the price at this point. I'll probably just wait until the RP5.

Love the review! I went with the Retroid Pocket 2S specifically because it's slightly smaller and easier to fit in my pocket, which is important to me because I have to wear tight jeans for work. Plus, it's cheaper and it's powerful enough to play some PS2 and GC games which is enough for me on the go. I just wish it had a slightly bigger screen. Otherwise the based RP4 was on my radar as a budget and pocket friendly companion to my Steam Deck OLED. Having a powerful and pocketable console is amazing no matter which one you get, so I'm excited to see what the future holds and I look forward to your future videos!

Ive had mine since launch, had the faulty triggers, their replacement time was pretty quick so their customer service has been really good so far. the one thing I will say is I got the skull&co stick caps and it really made the sticks feel even better. I agree with the grip being optional being a great compromise for both people that want a pocketable device and having an ergonomic device. the grips for the 4pro really do feel great. my main selling factor that a lot of reviewers seem not to understand is that the size and screen being smaller than other devices in the same price and power range, are just bulky and not as portable. not that I have a problem with those devices but this fits in my pocket. I Dont need a carrying case to bring it with me to work.

I have to be honest, I have a modded New 3DS XL, and it will even play (some) PS1 games giving access to a huge library of games. I like the idea of a Retroid 4 Pro, but I can play literally thousands of games from a system I already own, and don't play that often either.

something no one talks about with the Arc or other Anbernic devices, idk if they cherry pick them for reviewers, but the light bleed, if you're unlucky, is very bad not a problem in most cases but in games with heavy blacks, it's noticable

A few years ago I would have been all over the RP4+. Nowadays I look at handhelds in a different way and have a different set of priorities. Native aspect ratio and a fitting design give me the nostalgia that I seek. With that in mind, Sega retro games feel great on the RG Arc-D’s 4” screen and 6 button layout. Likewise, Nintendo games feel great on the RG405v DMG. If someone just wanted one device for £200, I wouldn’t choose an RP4+. The RP4’s 4.7” 750p screen is poor next to the 5.48” 1080p AMOLED screen on the RG556. A bigger battery and better ergonomics are also a plus. Performance is slightly better on the Retroid for PS2 games as is better portability. I’d say the 4 non + is the better value. At the end of the day, I just don’t think there’s a one size fits all solution. Great video though and an interesting take on the vast amount of handhelds today.

Hey man, this is very true. The RP4Pro is a great "do it all" device, but as you say, maybe it doesnt actually do one system the best, i.e. Sega on the Arc or maybe Gameboy on the RGB30

@@adinwalls For GB/GBC I’d be looking for a vertical device (that’s not Powkiddy). The RG405V DMG is my current stop gap but I’m probably going to get an FPGBC + flash cart if Anbernic or Retroid don’t come up with a device that’s closer to the original experience.

The only roll Anbernic is on with me is a death roll. I got a battery, usb port lemon. From the order, all the way through the process has been stressful and I'm worried I won't even get a refund. Aliexpress is more on my S list than Anbernic, but I've zero confidence in either right now. I'm curious how RP4P stacks up against the coming Odin 2 mini. Although, I feel ill be lucky to give this another go in two years.

I'd like to see a 'non-pocket', bigger handheld from retroid, see how it stacks up again the rg 556 and the Odin.

I don't know why you are calling the RGB10 Max 3 pro a piece of crap and what you have installed on there when for approximately 100 bucks you can play PSP at 3x, light weight PS2, 3DS and Gamecube, all the PC ports from Port Master, even Wii for god sakes and everything below that... install the latest Rocknix CFW on it and see if it is a piece of crap as you call it... now excuse me while I keep playing FFX at 2X on my piece of crap RGB10 max 3 pro which I got for 75 bucks... best damn money I have ever spent on anything.
