Hope to be receiving mine tonight! Seems to me based on reviews that this device is close to flawless. Maybe in the future it could have an upgraded screen with smaller bezels and strong cpu so that it could handle all of GC and PS2 games. That's all I can even think of.

Thanks to a sale an a bunch of coupons I managed to whittle the price down to $91 including tax and shipping for the 4GB model, very much looking forward to it arriving.

I Really like your style of review. Don’t forget, you can also upscale ps1 and Saturn games on this thing too!

Thanks so much! Yes can definitely do PS1 upscale! I haven’t really explored the world of Sega Saturn but that IS something coming in my next video! Thanks for watching!

Love the review! like you said the analog sticks are great. Also, for PSP, I would recommend setting the screen size to 0.85 to reduce the black bars. It is the sweet spot imo. also, what build of dolphin did you use for Mario Sunshine? im getting slow downs in Bianco Hills

@ScatteredBrain

It’s a nightly build of dolphin. I’d assume mine is out of date and the latest is the best one to go with. For Sunshine I can’t remember if I did some undercooking - but it’s pretty high chance I did. Thanks for watching!! 😊

I got this a few weeks ago and so far its great for ps1 and below. Its also very handy to plug in to my samsung tv and use as a console. Once it was set up Ive enjoyed the ps1 games, mame arcade and nintendo games I missed when I was a kid. Very happy with my purchase! :)

How does it connect to the TV? HDMI?

@jimdog9020

@@andyc7777 Yes, there is a mini hdmi out on the handheld. You can get a cable which connects to your tv via hdmi then. If ou look for reviews of the rps2 you can see people using it that way. I am also able to change aspect ratio to 4:3 for older games which is awesome.

I couldn't help but notice that almost every video of this uses the green one. if I can do GameCube on this thing I think I will def wishlist it.

How is the heating in this one?

Does the RP launcher gets updates?

I can say this, you don't want the $99 one for one reason alone. Android 11 eats up 1.7GB just to load. With the 4GB one, I'm left with 2.3GB for loading apps and their data. Also, given Android 11 wanting to put everything on your internal storage and hiding it from you, 32GB internal storage is going to suck for people who don't know how to deal with that. Honestly, the $119 version is the only version to get if you plan on doing much with it.

This is selling for more than the 3plus on eBay. I bought the 3 plus since it’s cheaper so win win !

So weird that it’s even marked up at all. Both the 3 Plus and the 2S are available directly on Retroid’s site. But if you get a good deal used could be worth it!

What about sega Dreamcast? Does it play Capcom vs snk 2, marvel VS capcom 2 and sonic adventure 2 battle smoothly?

I can tell you Dreamcast runs great. Sonic Adventure 2 runs extremely smooth. As for games like m.v.c 2 those should run just fine as well.

There are quick settings in that menu - button to screen mapping, ABXY button swaps, FPS counter, etc. If I remember correctly you can also turn it off

What do you think of the Pocket 2S vs RG35XX H?

@ScatteredBrain

3 ай бұрын

Very different - 2S has a much more powerful chipset that can handle even some GameCube and PS2. But I like the simplicity of the 35xxH and how it reminds me of the RG351

My normal comment on these videos. Screen too small. 5 or 6" screen and I'm in.

I’d actually have to disagree. I think it’s great to have devices offered that are not just the standard Switch/Steam Deck form factor. The coolest devices are the ones that are more unique like this. I like the look of the 2 a lot more than the Pocket 3 because it has much more of a retro feel to it. I’m debating between this and an Anbernic rg35xx+ because I want something that is small and looks cool but is also relatively powerful. I want it to feel like a new kind of device when I’m using it. Not just a budget version of the Switch I already have.

How is the android experience? Is it snappy or sluggish? I wanted to use this thing for youtube and spotify. I figure, if its in my pocket, I might as well!

That subshine is notttt full speed

But it can’t really play all GC games can it? So more like pocket “half a GameCube”

But why does it cost $50+ more on Amazon?

On Amazon it’s not sold by Retroid. The only benefit on Amazon is just ultra fast prime shipping and easy returns. But sometimes it’s worth it!

mario sunshine runs realy bad on my rp2s

I don't understand why Mario Sunshine is running so slow in your footage, it's much much better on my machine.

That Mario sunshine is definitely not full speed
