Top notch quality 👌

I’ve been wanting a handheld for GBA and Pico 8. But I’m on a budget. This looks great. I haven’t bought a retro handheld before so I appreciate you looking it over. You give a solid review. Good editing. You’re informative and engaging. Just subbed!

well I have bought three different handhelds from different makers. one was the anbernic 351v nice little system for gba, snes, worked ok but had weird issues. Froze sometimes but overall was awesome. I bought a powkiddy x55 and crapped out after a week or two. And six months ago boought a retroid pocket 3+ tha has screen bleed. Im not really wanting to waste money on faulty systems

I am getting ready to order but cant decide between base model or pro. I really want it for ps2 emulation and below. Is pro necessary

f

What are the alternative slings you can recommend over the Day Sling 3?

So honestly, I don't mind black borders as long as the screen is big enough.

Does this console have Mario GBA preinstalled?

Odin 2 vs Retroiod Pocket 4 pro, what do you recommend?

did you try Beacon Launcher on it?

Great review! I've been looking for a good thorough review of the RP4P since i just ordered one, and this was it! Will be coming back to this video once i recieve it to set mine up close to this!

The Odin 2 Pro is freaking amazing, but it's just a bit more than a bit outside what I wanted to spend to upgrade from my GPD XD+. I just want my hand held to play retro games up to PS2 and GooglePlay, and found my retro soulmate with the RG556. But I still watch anything and everything on the Odin 2, it's such a phenomenal device. Awesome review and overview, thank you!

The volume can be adjusted using the hotkeys, think its press '-' button and dpad left or right, down and right for brightness. I use the wifi perfectly with a wifi adapter and usb connector. Worth investing into one of those! Works really well with Portmaster! Best budget handheld of the 2024

I just want something for gba gbc snes arcade and neo geo nothing more

I am new to this retro portable console, I'll sub you

what's the Dragon ball game called? Also great review!

Several older devices have a 3:2 aspect ratio. Powkiddy RGB10 Anbernic RG351P Anbernic RG351M Odroid Go Advance RK2020 PocketGo S30 All have the same 3.5" screen size. The KT-R1 Pocket has a 3:2 4.5" screen.

Stellar cinematography, love it. Mine should arrive tomorrow so super excited. Probably gonna do the same as you and just load the whole GBA library on it. As much as I love the Anbernic SP the buttons are what keeps me away from enjoying it so a little comparison is always welcome. Keep up the good work, really good overall :)) Cheers !

For less than that price I just bought a new Miyoo mini v4 from PDD.

love how you set up your device! really considering the retroid and this video is helping me figure out how i will use it

With 'Winlator' you can also play some older PC games, and more will become compatible over time.

Is all pokemon games in 3DS is fully playable, no stutters or crashes or choppy audios? Because my main goal here is to play all pokemon games from [GBC to SWITCH] ( i will be happy enough with [GBC to 3DS], while I know switch still have some issues so it’s for switch not being fully playable) Also I love psp as well as a bonus point. Or I should go with the New 3DS XL? Where they can definitely play all pokemon games from GBC to 3DS if im not wrong. What advice and what decision would you suggest for the main goal I’m aimming for?

Ive been emulating on Android forever so this was a no brainer. Should be a breeze to set up.

Mini Review from an owner: Pros: -clean look and very professional build quality, buttons and joysticks all feel expensive -battery life is excellent for such a small device, im getting 5+ hours of streaming Steam and am usually only down to 40% or higher -the display is actually extremely underrated based on specs alone. Would I be happier with an OLED at 120hz+, sure, but this 1080p LCD panel is super crisp and very saturated. I dont know how accurate the colors are, but they look stunning. I can still play AAA titles on this display and the only downside between it and my Asus gaming monitor is at 60hz, very fast panning looks a bit blury. Not bad at all!!! -great speakers for such a small device. It just sounds good, cant say much else. -the software is fantastic, feels very much like stock android, and the button mapping software is simple to use and has everything you need - even to set up button controls for MOBAs. Cons: -my particular unit has a bit of trigger squeek, i will oil the springs when i replace the buttons and probably fix this though -buttons are a bit small, but they fit the device size and i got used to them very quickly. Even though the joysticks are small, they are high quality and i replaced them with taller sticks -surprisingly small. I definitely felt from watching reviews it would be a larger device, and im glad i didnt get the Mini, because this device - though hard to pocket - is still very small. So for long gaming sessions, playing AAA games and shooters, i do get a bit of hand fatigue. However i did just order a grip, i think this will solve that issue. For retro games and lighter gaming, the size is actually very appealing and comfortable for most people I would imagine. Last thing I will say... I got this device about a month ago and have really put it through the ringer. I am extremely happy with my purchase!!! My only concern is when the Odin 3 inevitably comes out, it will probably have a better chip, a better OLED display, and a competitive price to outcompete Ayaneo with there new release of the Pocket S and Evo. I wont have enough time to really enjoy this thing before I get fomo for the newest version hahaha Cheers 🥂

I notice the input lag in mario oddssey gameplay, do you feel the lag?

Nice content, subbed!

Cool review man! I have the blue transparent model, but the black one looks super slick! You should do a Blackout EDC video :D

HQ vid, dude. You deserve more subscribers.

Good video man, I have a lot of fond memories with the original sp. Definitely a good purchase

Why not make explanatory videos to share the best settings for Switch games for example?

Thanks for the update! I think these reviews are way more beneficial than initial/unboxing reviews. !

Ladies And Gentlemen... Look up: WINLATER for Android... You are able have a virtual machine within your A-O2... Testing: Pc games... Cup Head ... indies And RPCS3 emulator for PS3 games... Mirror Edge Virtual Tennis Not seeing Steam App yet... 🙃🤣🧐🤓😎🥸🤯...

I got myself one some months ago, and I love it. I play it more than any other handheld/console I own. It's pricey, that's for sure. But to me, it's totally worth every penny given how much joy and relaxation it has given me. 9/10 is my score😊

That's my dream device. I have a rp4pro, which is great, but the Odin 2 is the top of the food chain

Ahh man... great vid. at first I was wondering how did you get that purple cover. It was the lighting.

Great work, bro! Keep going!

I heard it’s got a bit of input lag. Did you notice it?

I can’t put that thing in my pocket The Odin 2 mini seems more my jam and it probably would’ve been a perfect device for me if that was within my price range That said, the Odin 2 seems fantastic and definitely worth considering. Seems to be a one and done type device for sure

I can't wait to get mine, ordered a rainbow Pro EDIT: Do you plan to do more videos on the Odin 2?

You actually don't want a USB-c to c cable as most USB-C chargers will either not work, or will damage/kill the handheld. You should only use 5v 1.5amp chargers (or lower). I typically charge mine from the front USB 2 ports on my PC, using the included USB-a to USB-c cable.

Strap is a true issue. My older sling had a cheap strap that felt painful close to skin especially in the neck. The DS3 looks rough like the one I had. Definitely not seatbelt smooth like the city sling's.

Does it come with any GBA Kirby games installed

does it run ps1 games?

I've had my Clear Retroid 4 Pro and I'm blown away on how much I like it. I love the form factor. It plays everything I throw at it with ease. Prince of Persia for switch is amazing an plays flawlessly. Again I love how small but not to small the device is and I've got large hands. I get zero hand fatigue. Perfect size! I noticed you mentioned ram at 8 gigs. I was looking around and it says on average I use about 6 so I think ram is ok? I will have to check out your setup. I use an Iphone and Apple products but it wasn't hard to setup at all. I enjoy tinkering too and after a week I got everything working and now I just load games and play and love it. The price point was perfect for me too. I wouldn't worry about specs, this thing is great and when playing games you never ever think man i wish this display was better etc. I just play and enjoy. its 10/10 for me. Get the carry case and screen protector too.

Does this have L3/R3? Is it touchscreen? And can the USB-C output video to the TV? (I know the RG336 or whatevr it's called can output from USB-C WHILE charging.)

Love my rp4 pro had it for a few months now and love what it does. As my first handheld for emulation I love it

I just got into the retro handheld emulator scene when the RG35XX SP came out and I’ve fallen into the rabbit hole. Saw the Odin 2 mini come out which was extremely tempting but a point’s been made that it’s the same price as a steamdeck so might as well get that (I’m not in the market for that) Bought this Retroid pocket 4 pro yesterday after watching A LOT of videos, but if I hadn’t already been convinced, THIS video would have made me get one for sure. You pretty much said everything I wanted to hear to get me to buy this, so thanks!

gonna get one solely as a balatro machine because idk cant really get into it on my normal steam deck but the smaller form factor of the pocket pro 4 would be perfect for baltaro sessions on my bed or couch.

Im debating between this clear color or the white 16bit. Were there times you rather had a different color? The clear looks amazing. I would get the white one just to match the smaller gray Anbernics I own but I keep coming back to this one.

I watched the entire thing. Amazing review. Quality is perfect and most of my questions answered. Your sub count is criminally low. Great work 😊
