>Where to buy
Aliexpress, gogamegeek, litnxt, keepretro, mechdiy, Powkiddy/Retroid official websites

>Best Brands
Retroid (Well built, powerful, but $100-200 range), Anbernic (Balanced price, power and build quality, avoid the RG Nano), Powkiddy (Cheap, low quality builds, interesting shapes), Miyoo (One hit wonder), TrimUI: (Good build quality, shitty software, good price).

>What do I buy
Post your preferences: Money (20$ - 300$), Shape (horizontal, vertical, clamshell, square), Pocketable or not, OS (Linux, Android, Both), Systems (Pre PSX is 8, 16, and 32-bit eras, PSX with extras, Dreamcast and N64, PSP and DS, PS2 and GC/Wii capable)

>Before you buy
- Handhelds come with low quality SD cards. Back them up, throw them away, buy new ones.
- It takes some tinkering. You better have bare basic desktop knowledge on how to unzip files and put them in folders. We are not here to teach you how.
- Overall quality of these products is very cheap.
- Reviewers get free handhelds, caveat emptor.

Honestly, coming from the GBA I expected more from the DS. Hardware improved and all that, but the only good games are snes ports or the psp version is superior. I suppose pokemon fans would rejoice. What am I missing? And the Fire Emblem games are ugly as hell, what were they thinking?

That screen is already in the rg556, and that thing has been sold for as low as $140 shipped during a recent ali sale. There's really no reason this can't be $200 flat before shipping like the RP4P is right now, with the RP4P receiving a slight price cut until stock is extinguished.

Not a fair comparison still because I'm using the revision model and crossmix instead of stock, but really this feels incredible for $45 and GBA games look fantastic.

The GBA L/R buttons are on the front. It's what the long buttons with the same color as the d-pad are.
You basically, when you want to play GBA games, just slide the bottom half of the back phone case off and reverse it, then the app will automatically open into its main menu/artificial sleep mode continue from whatever state you last were playing. Uses some stupid USB-C port technology that understands which specific position the USB-C male port is inserted. Makes the app sleep when you have the buttons on the back as part of the phone's protective case, opens the app and continues from where you left off when you 180 reverse the bottom half to cover the screen, using touch-screen inputs with a physical plastic/rubber d-pad and button overlay.

So you could still use the app without the modular controller case, just having to use touch screen inputs with your thumbs.

So basically you're saying an extra $20 for better screen but larger device from the RP4P.

Anbernic is on par with Powkiddy in terms of being cheap shit, Retroid has long since surpassed them as being the best midrange/bang for your buck brand. And even then Powkiddy is better in some areas like the RGB30/20SX where they put out budget devices with 1:1 screens that make perfect sense for Game Boy/NeoGeo Pocket games and 8:7 content.
Most of their good ideas now are literally stolen from other companies like the A1 Unicorn, the TrimUI Smart Pro, or Ayaneo’s Pocket DMG; and they can only copy them as shittily as possible like a true Chinese company would.

Look at it from an average guy's perspective
RP4P was a huge jump over 3+. Literally 2x performance + cooling + 8 gigs of ram, hall effect analog + analog triggers. Way better hardware, no bullshit.
RP5 has a CPU that has literally same raw performance, somehow LESS RAM and costs $20 more. And 1920x1080 is questionable on a retro device (though to each his own).
I do get that only a retard would expect 8 gen 2 and I still think it's still good value for the hardware. But they really, REALLY will have to deliver with those drivers, or else. Otherwise that would make RP5 near pointless. Even if the drivers will give you somewhat better PS2/3DS performance overall and a bigger bump in select games, hypothetical RP4P price drop to $150 would negate all of that.
This is more like RP4 Snapdragon OLED edition, not a new gen.

To be honest, I absolutely understand why they did that. Phone market is already like this. A typical Xiaomi budget phone line has 720G one year, then 695 for 2-3 years, then maybe D900… Literally zero progress, same shit year to year.
They were also likely hard pressed with CPU choice. 865 is the level of Galaxy S20. Why not S21 or S22? This was a couple of bad years for Qualcomm, 888 and 8 gen 1 had too much heating. So… The only option would be 8 gen 2, not realistic for $200 and there's Odin anyway.
On the other hand, people kept asking them exactly the same shit. "OLED when", "if only it had Snapdragon", every single time. So… they did exactly that.
Now everyone is pissed they didn't make the same jump as RP3+ > RP4P.

They just fucked up by announcing the Mini and it so close to each other. Both are virtually identical in specs outside of battery and size that the RP5 just seems underwhelming in comparison, even though within the context of OLED handhelds its really not bad. Its basically on par or probably better than Ayaneo's Pocket Air and it shits all over Anbernic's RG556 by merit of having better specs and actually having good built-in software with no snapping sticks.

[Anonymous No.11218628]

I'd argue the device doesn't make sense still. Retroid built their customer base by being the best midrange providers out there. They gsve unbeatable value for money, focusing on form more than function. Extras like hall effects were cherries on top pf the raw performance you got compared to anbernig and their ilk and for like 1/2 the price of the equivalent premium options yet 80% of the way there in terms of power.

While objectively better the RP4P, the RP5 is a slap to the face of its user base. It has the same performance and a better screen but is more expensive, focusing on form over function. And for $220 you're only $80 away from an Odin 2, which gets you the entire emulation library up to switch, a better form factor, and a bigger screen that would work better for oled anyways.

Retroid is no Ayaneo or AYN.

Maybe. Though I agree it gets fucked by comparisons in general, people just expected the same jump as RP4 every year.
I think what really fucked them is caring what people wanted. There's a reason to use Dimensity and LCD—it's simply cheaper. Everyone wants OLED and Snapdragon until they see the pricetag. You want the premium quality, you get the premium price. Raw specs work way better for advertisement than some better drivers and linux which no one understands, that may or may not give you performance.

Both telescope controllers have similarly sized face buttons (small but appropriately spaced apart, except the "BSP-D3" Switch looking one also uses these illuminating little buttons for the d-pad as well just to keep Switch aesthetics, but it has proper analog sticks while the Ipega's analog sticks feel like something on a cheap Powkiddy, the Ipega's L3/R3 being stiff and hard to use while the BSP-D3's L3/R3 buttons click so quick and easily. All of the buttons and sticks on the BSP-D3 are better than the ones on the Ipega, except for the fact that the Ipega has a proper d-pad and its d-pad is pretty decent. The Ipega also allows considerably more range for phones and how it holds them, allowing both horizontal and vertical mode while the BSP-D3 can only do horizontal/landscape.

The Mega Dream Controller is the exactly what you would think it would be. Pretty solid though despite being a cheaper quality plastic than an official PlayStation or Xbox controller, and despite feeling much lighter than a PS4/PS5 or Xbone/XsX/sS controller the top-heaviness of a phone clipped to it isn't any worse than when I used my DS4 with a phone clip. I'll just be using and recommending a DS4 over it though just due to the touch pad allowing you to have mouse controls in mobile games.

This made me appreciate how not great the Ipega's buttons and analog sticks really are, but its versatility and d-pad still make me prefer it over anything else, with a Dual Shock 4 PS4 controller being my second choice.

I might compile comparison photos tomorrow with a normal smart phone and a folding smart phone. But the Mega Dream controller has the best buttons/sticks/inputs out of the three but is the weakest due to how unportable the whole setup is with controllers and clips.
The BSP-D3 has better bittons and sticks than the Ipega, but has buttons instead of an actual d-pad, useless unless playing two player arcade games across from a friend with your phone. So even though the Ipega has weaker buttons and sticks, its ergonomics and versatility make it still my #1. But I am bias towards extendable controllers that turn your phone into a wide horizontal handheld over clipping phones to a regular console controller.

Miyoo laughably believes that the Mini and Mini Plus being decent and popular was enough to make them the Chinese Nintendo. By the time they release the Miyoo Flip/SP with analog sliders, they'll be bankrupt. There was no means for them to sell that piece of shit horizontal schlop at a profit and they basically rushed it out to keep competing with Anbernig as they struggled and flailed to figure out the Miyoo Flip's hinge. The novelty of an SP clone has come and gone, people are satisfied with the RG35XX SP and maybe ON THOUSAND PEOPLE in total worldwide would bat an eye when the Miyoo Flip eventually releases.
It sucks cause I fucking loved the Bittboys and all, and the Miyoo Mini was genuinely really fucking awesome (at least the V1 models). But between the Miyoo Mini Plus and the RG35XX, the 35XX was always the better option and anyone claiming otherwise was coming off of Miyoo Mini TikTok/Reddit fanboyism/hypetrain, especially now with like six versions of the RG35XX in almost any shape and form factor you could want it in.

People expected 8gigs of RAM, they expected a perfect, in between device and were THIS close to it.
I, along with many saw the around $200 price as a limit for a daily driver. Also, the gap in power between the Odin 2 and the rest isn't insignificant. All I really wanted was a stronger, mid range clamshell, They haven't made one since the 3+ ffs. Consensus suggests they are the higher quality company out of these. They are the standard and they're slipping because they keep kiking and cutting corners at the last second.

It is an inbetween device though? It's right inbetween the lighterweight Anbernigs and such that only run up to some PS2/GC max and the heavyweight king Odin 2 that runs everything. Anon is completely right, people thought they were getting a $200-250 Odin 2. Won't deny that there are some cut corners though like a half-assed promise of Linux and Android 10.

The Mini seems like finally the ideal one for me even though it doesn't come in the transparent turquoise like the RP3 and RP4 did, but I only care about playing up to DreamCast and N64, not PS2 and GameCube/Wii. I almost bought the RP4, was waiting until I had an extra $200 to spend on it, but it still had some flaws which the Mini fixes completely. The Mini's gonna be my end game, I really do not enjoy playing any intense seventh generation games in a handheld format and stuff on PS2 and Xbox would be easy shit to run like Disgaea where any slowdown due to special effects wouldn't matter due to them already occurring in a slow, over-the-top tactics title.

I have two and the d-pads are identical the the SNES controller's.

I completed Sonic Advance 1 100%, but Advance 2 is a bitch needing to get all red rings and all seven emeralds with all four main characters.

I noticed that when you go on a "streak", you'll want to keep playing more of the same. I was waiting for my RP4 and since I had nothing else to play I got back to Heroes 3, although I thought I was tired of the game and getting back to it felt awkward. When my RP4 finally arrived, I realized I wanted to keep playing Heroes more than anything.
Same thing why it's easier to keep playing games from same console or same series. You kind of get into a certain mood and won't like switching gears. Even if the experience isn't all that great, you'll stick to the familiar stuff because you're in the mood and it just feels more comfortable. Just force yourself to play something different for a bit, wait for the "gears" to switch.

I was reading the problem can also be related to the USB C fast charger I used the first time, but I don't have time to investigate further. Guess I will have to buy a new micro sd card and flash an updated firmware in it, thank you guys.

Only for the first day of preorders. RP4 will also realistically get at least a $10 price cut soonish.
>>11222416
They both have 5000mAh batteries, probably the exact same one. Their chips also bench at the same battery efficiency. There might be a slight real world difference because of driver fuckery, idk, but the main difference will likely come down to the screen. I often read OLED is more energy efficient, but the screen itself is also about 37% larger in terms of area and has double the pixel count.

I've seen as high as 15.5 hours on PS1 for the RP4P (phawx vid) and as low as 2.5 hours when the fan is blasting while maxxing out on PS2. We'll how battery life turns out on the RP5, but I'm not expecting a huge difference either way. I would guess a smidge worse than RP4P if you put a gun to my head.

Well, "technically", since the Mini is theoretically (at least) supposed to replace the 2S, it still is a direct upgrade. Qualcomm SD865 > Unisoc T610; 3.7'' AMOLED > 3.5'' LCD; 6 GB RAM > 4 GB RAM.
The real issue is that, unlike 2S, the RPMini no longer offers an exceptional value proposal; it's just *adequately* priced for its capabilities.

Managed to fix it (at least for now) by deleting some random script file created when running the OTA updater.
Though I think there's still some busted files in there.
At any rate, I'll stop trying to run the OTA updater for a while; I've checked Cizia's github and there's no newer version anyway.

The handheld industry has largely moved past anything like that. Emulation is so good these days (particularly for GameCube) and it’s relatively easy to emulate for mid range handhelds and up for a low price already. There’s effectively no reason to use original hardware in a portable console for innumerable reasons , including things like astronomical manufacturing cost and terrible battery life. It’s a pure novelty so no company will ever seriously pursue it. Making your own is your best bet, but you should just get a Steam Deck or something if you want excellent portable GameCube emulation.

Never tried but hasn't been updated in like 6 months, it's probably dead

The best option right now since it enhances some emulator performance and has nice features but I personally had some problems with it so I moved back to Stock with enhancements.

[Anonymous No.11225017]

Crossmix. Tomato was pretty bad and Knulli was locked behind a paywall. When I had a problem with Crossmix I talked to the dev and he fixed it within a day and personally got back to me with the solution.

Oh yeah another annoying thing about Knulli is that you can only add files through FTP because of the way it partitions your SD card. Weird decision.

[Anonymous No.11225032]

>>11225027
From what I heard on the h700 end, Knulli needs the partition to be ext4 for the ports to work correctly. Also heard trying to mount ext4 under Windows programs tends to corrupt things, so beware of that.

[Anonymous No.11225046]

The 5 is probably the best power to price, however not sure I would trust a 14 yo girl with the Linux tinkering required to get the most from it. There's also the consideration of pocket size. The RP4 has a smaller size (good, more pocket-able) owing to it's smaller screen (unfortunately). She may consider that an advantage. If Retroid were smart, they'd reevaluate their decision to forgo the clamshell form factor as this would solve any pocket-ability issue with the RP5. So in short, me? I'd wait for a clamshell. You? probably should consider the options. Retroid are decent, but others exist.

AFAIK Fire Red/Leaf Green and Emerald are the only games you can actually link up via Wi-Fi. They were compatible with a wireless GBA add-on or something that can be emulated in Retro Arch.

The dpad uses microswitches, and they're very clicky. The face buttons are membrane buttons. I prefer tactile microswitches because they are more durable than rubber membranes, but the face buttons feel okay. I chose this controller because it has a headphone jack. What I don't like about this controller is that my phone doesn't set the controller's headphone jack as default, and I have to use an app to force it to use the headphone jack of the controller.
