I hope I don't sound like a complete downer but people should buy Odin 2 it emulates PS2 games upto 6x resolution which is like 4k resolution or. More and GameCube and Wii can be played at 4x resolution. DreamCast, PS Vita and 3DS and Switch emulation runs better now at consistent frame rate although those emulation will get updates which will make. Them run on most handheld run better in future. But Odin 2 is vastly superior and design quality and dual speakers which is on par with my S20 Ultra which is saying how good those speakers quality is on Odin 2 and beautiful 1080p ips lcd screen powerful snapdragon 8gen2 processors and WiFi 7 Bluetooth 5 3 and hall effect sensors analog stick vita style dome d-pad. And ambient lighting on analog stick and side of the device is such a cool feature!

I absolutely fell in love with my RP4 Pro. I bought the RP2 right before the RP2+ released and had horrible buyers remorse, but the 4 Pro destroys the competition with the Odin 2 being the only real competitor for out-of-the-box emulation devices. There are cheaper handheld Linux devices with better performance, but most people don't want to deal with the configuration of those devices.
@SamuelDoesThings2011 17 күн бұрын
"with better performance" Such as? None of the cheap handheld Linux devices allow you to play GameCube, Wii, PS2, 3DS, or a bit of Switch, not even if you tinker enough because there's NOT a single powerful enough ARM-based Linux handheld. If there is, notify me immediately.

@@retrotechdad Retroid emailed me that my item was shipped on Feb 4th, it was not. They only assigned a tracking number to placate me and shut me up, nothing on status change until 2 days later. All reply emails were short and blunt(to the point)with zero empathy or humanity behind them. To top it all off they did this right before Chinese New Year so now it will be until the 19th that it even starts to move again, assholes. I'm not mad that this happened I'm just pissed that I was placated and told it was shipped when it actually wasn't, and then got the handgrip accessory and you'd think they'd combine shipping, nope. One was ready to ship the other one wasn't so I get to pay for shipping twice. This device better be worth it because so far Retroid hasn't impressed me in the least. I'm hoping this is a reflection of one person instead of the whole company. I'm thinking the latter. I may just invest another 100-200 and just get an Odin 2. Screw Retroid.

@germ187 4 ай бұрын
Honestly, no, I mainly find myself using game streaming for switch games so a lot of the power for emulation isn’t my reason for wanting to upgrade. What I do like from the four are those analog triggers and the sticks seem to be nicer as well. The problem I have with the RP three is the small sticks when I play modern games on it. Are the sticks on the 4 taller and more ergonomic? I also heard there was an issue with the screens being greener. That’s one of the reasons I’m also hesitant to upgrade. thanks for your input from one dad to another 👍
@retrotechdad 4 ай бұрын
Yes, the sticks here are a nice improvement over the small sticks on the RP3+. It's definitely going to be better for streaming as well since we have the full triggers now. The green screen issue has been corrected, I talked about it here in this review at 12:48 and in my early look video.

@@retrotechdad hello sir, speaking of the triggers, I've seen other reviews mention that the progressive rate of the analogue triggers is not on a linear scale. As in, when playing a racing game, you have to nearly fully depress the trigger to get about half throttle. Do you see this as something Retroid may be able to address in the settings via a software update or is it more likely the type of trigger they choose to use and isn't reprogrammable? Since this genre is likely my most played category, it could be difficult to 'finesse' the "right foot" like I'm used to on PC or like Xbox controllers can. I greatly appreciate your feedback sir! 🙏

It's super frustrating how nearly perfect this is. If they could keep the form factor, but add in a powerful mediated dimension or snapdragon and include an open screen it'd be easier perfect. I wouldn't mind paying more for that. But as of right now it's just missing a bit too much for 200 when compared to alternatives.

My RP4pro came and in 24 hours the R2 Trigger broke down just like many others. Now no response on when the replacements will arrive - even before Chinese new year. Very disappointing.

That's a bummer! I know Chris from Retroid is very responsive, he should get back to you soon. Retroid is providing a 2 year warranty on the triggers.

So what’s the best emulator for ps2 then? I see you have used 2 in your review
@retrotechdad 4 ай бұрын
The results vary between AetherSX2 and NetherSX2 depending on the game. I personally like using AetherSX2 (3668) but if you see performance issues, then it's worth trying out NetherSX2.

Is the OLED confirmed? The only demo video Anbernic has put out so far (that I know of) doesn't really look like an OLED screen. The Retroid has the smaller form factor for those who want more portability. The new Anbernic, to me, feels like it's the "We have an Odin 2 at home" handheld.

RG556 will be powered by a T820, which is about RP4 non pro level. So Gamecube and PS2 is out of the question for it.

I've been lightly considering getting a Retroid Pocket 4. Before he disowned me, my brother gifted me with a Retroid Pocket 2. But I have had it in storage since then, since we moved shortly afterwards. I'm considering selling off my 2 and replacing it with a 4.
