I just talked to Retroid CS , they are considering selling the Retroid pocket Flip 2 with the MediaTek Dimensity 1100 chipset on Amazon as they still have hundreds of it in stock and will take a month to be Available

I really wish they would have given that model a different name. So many people (myself included) tell people the Flip 2 and RP5 have the same internals so it's a matter of personal preference when deciding which one to buy. (Because we forget the other option exists or assume no one would buy it) S

Whats your dream Retroid?

Honestly Retroid Pocket 5 with an aftermarket grip checks all the boxes for me. Small size Fantastic screen Nice-feeling controls Comes in fun colors (GameCube purple) Powerful enough to emulate up to GameCube / PS2 / Wii Relatively inexpensive at $219 (for what you get). I stream Steam PC games to

RP4 Pro Restock

From posts I've read on here: Better portability / pocketability over the Retroid Pocket 5 and Retroid Pocket 6. Realizing that PC / Switch / WiiU / etc games aren't that important to them or isn't as important as the portability to them actually using the device. People that have multiple devices i

$549 for Steam Deck OLED or $133 for PS Portal?

Tl;dr: Consider a Retroid Pocket 5. It may be a good balance between cost and potential for additional (light) capability. So, OP. Most people only talk about PC handhelds here because they're the hot thing. But if you mainly want to stream, like the cheaper price point, but might like additional Ca

Trying to run conkers bad fur day and it's super choppy?

I have a Retroid Pocket 5 and an Ayn Thor, both can handle GC and PS2 without any issues, even the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro can run GC+PS2 though the screen is a bit small. The Retroid Pocket Flip 2 is the same chipset as the RP5 so it's a good candidate too. I couldn't find a sub $150 handheld that wil

Consolas de emulação chinesas

Tenho a Ayaneo Pocket Micro e a Retroid Pocket 5. São ambas muito boas, mas não posso deixar de enaltecer a RP5. É inacreditável a todos os níveis, autonomia, ecrã, conforto... E o preço, não sendo barata, parece -me justo para tudo o que oferece.

Retro Dodad like GBMicro

From my research there's the miyoo a30, anbernic rg300x, there's allso this: https://ayaneo.co/nl/product/ayaneo-pocket-s2/?attribute_pa_color=obsidiaanzwart&attribute_pa_configuration=8gb-lpddr5x-128gb-ufs-3-1 which is very pricy but I think it can run ps2 easily In all reality I would probably just lo

Recommendations for PSP handheld

If keeping it under $300 is the budget I'd say the Retroid Pocket 5 (200) or G2 (220) would be plenty. Good screens and can extend into higher tiers than PSP, with the G2 being a bit better. The AYN Thor Lite (250) would be my recommendation if you plan on playing a lot of DS games. DS is fine on a

Console portátil acessível

Mangmi Air X, Retroid Pocket 5. Da uma olhada em vídeos deles (e em precos também. Se tiver dentro do orçamento, RP5 é uma escolha bem segura. Da uma olhada nos da Anbernic também.
