how big is the real difference in Switch and 3DS emulation in these smartphones

Well... My Retroid Pocket 4 Pro has a Dimensity 1100, a Mali G77 MC9, and 8GB of RAM, It runs Pokémon Y, Moon, etc, at about 3x or 4x resolution, meanwhile, it even lags on light Switch games like Super Chipflake U. 3DS emulation is more mature, while Switch still needs development to be more compat

Really new to this, looking to spend £100-200

You could save some money an anbernic RG series device for about 70$ but it would struggle with gamecube. If Gamecube is a must i recommend the Retroid pocket 4 pro or retroid pocket 5.

Is it worth getting the rp4 pro in the big 2026??

I own the Retroid Pocket 4 pro. The hardware is very nice and it really feels like it's meant to used on the go, The buttons and triggers is also nice. The processor though is not suitable for Switch emulation and it might not be the best for PS2. Ps2 emulation is not very optimized. So you will nee

EmucoreV New Update 0.1.1

Unfortunately I still get screen flickering on Uncharted on my Retroid pocket 4 pro. Is there a setting to change or is RP4 just SOL for vita? Gameplay is great when it loads but can't really play with flickering. Tried changing screen buffering and mapping etc. Is there a separate driver besides vu

Modern handheld look so basic and samey...

Haha, thanks! Cool thing about these is that they're on the cheap side. The white ones (R36S and R36H) are the weakest, they peak at PS1 and can't efficiently go beyond that - I use them primarily for playing MAME games and Doom mods. They were 30$ each. The blue one (RG40xxH) and the GBA SP lookali

Search a handheld for ZZZ

This is basically the answer. Your gunna need atleast a snapdragon gen chip To play ZZZ comfortably I did have a retroid pocket 4 pro that actually did play ZZZ decently well. I wouldn’t recommend Buying a rp4 pro at this stage though, the rp5 is better in every way and not that much more.

Retroid Pocket 4 Pro

Kurzfassung: Der Retroid Pocket 4 Pro ist der leistungsstärkere, günstigere Handheld, ideal für PS2/GameCube. Der Retroid Pocket G2 ist der neue Premium‑Handheld mit AMOLED‑Display, viel besserer Akkulaufzeit und stärkerer Switch‑Performance, aber deutlich teurer. Ich könnte mich irren. Von votmfakt

Mod 2026 Tutorial Released

This guide worked for me. Although now I play on Retroid Pocket 4 Pro instead of my Steamdeck. I actually want to find a way to wipe out anything I event did on Steamdeck emulation and start clean. I wasn't good at it and it got really quirky after updates on some emulators. I'm shockingly better at

Current best PS2 handheld for around $100?

At $100, you have a few options. If you're ok with used, the best option would be a used Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. You'll be able to do all of PS2, Gamecube, and Wii, along with some lighter PC emulation via Gamehub/Gamehub Lite/Winlator/Game Native, and some light Switch emulation via Eden/Kenji NX. If
