Between this review and the review on Joey's Retro Handhelds, I was convinced that I could benefit from a TrimUI Smart Pro. The price is good (I ended up buying it with the 64GB preloaded micro SD), and holy crap; you weren't joking about the 720P display! Dreamcast handles okay, but it really shines with the arcade games. I did a test run on SFIII: New Generation, and aside from one glitchy stage, it held up well. Then I dug up an arcade cult favorite: Martial Masters. Now THAT plays well on the Smart Pro! NES handles iffy, but the Gameboy games are a bit more precise. I'll be sticking with my Miyoo Mini Plus for most of my retro gaming, but the TrimUI Smart Pro will be my go-to for some big arcade action.

This is like a poor man's RP3+, similar in shape and size, not as powerful, but still good. Compared to the 2s I'd probably go for the 2s because it can do so much more, however it is more expensive so it's a tradeoff.
@soniczero5328 ай бұрын
@TechDweeb I love the d pad on the arc d, the controls on the 2s, the power of the 3 plus, and the screen of the rgb30. Getting the metal housing for the 3 plus I thought about but didn't seem to fix the other issues I had. But what a great variety group of systems we got this year. I like the ps2 layout for cemetrical reasons and what I'm used too so some of my options become limited for that reason alone. A poor man's 3 plus seems about right for the discription.

I've noticed people get a bit irrational about unused screen real estate. Even if playing 4:3 games on this results in a bigger and clearer active picture area than on virtually any 4:3 device in its class, they seem to focus on the parts of the screen left black and use that to claim this is "bad for 4:3 games"
