Can we give this man a well deserved hug? 👐
This comment made my day 👐. Thanks!
84 hugs
Rather than hug why dont we subscribe and share of this video.. 😊
@@monospacechannel hola amigo me podrias decir porfavor hasta cuanto se puede tener de almacenamiento en la memoria microsd extraible?
Confused on why dev jam fight for ny, midnight club 3 dub edition, ford vs Chevy, mustang, dark watch, urban region was skipped lol my favorites missed. Why not just run the frame counter if it skips it’s already considered not playable 🤣🤣
Great work! I have been barely considering a RP3+ for some time. I heard that PS2 was "not there yet" but it's hard to understand exactly what the reviewers mean when they say such things. Watching all of these games and seeing them rated into 4 categories really helps to understand the RP3+ capabilities without having to buy one myself. I think I'll wait at least one more generation.
It`s clear... some heavy games are smooth, some shitty games runs like shit, it`s an emulation thing, not the machine`s power. Change the emulator and some might work better, some might never even in gamer pcs
Thanks for the support! Let's wait for the RP4+ or RP Flip+
I'm waiting for the rp4+
That's good enough for me! I'm ordering one right now since it'll be my first. There are a lot of other consoles I can play too. I considered it a nice bonus with more than 50% compatibility
@@matosco i agree, the ps2 was my childhood and i'm 30 to think the hardware in a $200 console is not up to par is funny to me, this think and the flip should in theory run these games like good coffee, smooth as silk. so its either the emulators or the way the games were made doesn't translate well on modern hardware but even then im pretty sure an emulator is intended to make those games run well so emulation thing.
The world needs more people like this guy
Crazy part is with some tinkering in the settings, a lot of those games could be moved to the playable tier, the Retroid pocket 3+ is an insane machine, shout out to out to you for testing all these games!!
Many of these games that he tested and scored below smooth are already on smooth. It's just faulty testing sadly. I can see that many of the titles underperform due to my boy not knowing about the sleep mode trick.
Thanks man! with all the time I got, I was only able to tinker the cycle rate and cycle skip for each game lol
Wow, never heard of the sleep mode trick until you mentioned it and googled it. Now that's a cool tip, will see if it really does improve the performance!
@@GongLove I've tried googling it for ages and i cant find what the sleep mode trick is. Can you enlighten me please :)
@@purplyeti Hmm, I don't mean to be rude, but if you google "Retroid Pocket 3+ sleep mode trick" it's the first result you get, so I don't know about that hard googling you did.😂 Anyway, here it is: czcams.com/video/c09JUOzWSo4/video.html
Great work, love to see the work you do. Helps me not spend hours filtering games myself
Glad to help! thanks for watching
Your effort to make this kind of video is amazing. Thank you!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Incredible work thank you, Gradius V was what I wanted to ask and you've covered it and so much more - thank you
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching!
I appreciate the work you put in for this video!
Thanks for the support!
This is exactly what I was wanting to see, thank you
Thanks for watching!
Loving the fact that you printed your board and every single cover! Awesome man, many thanks!
Thanks man! appreciate all the support
My man, your labor is more than appreciated! Thank you! 👍🤘
I appreciate that!
Thank you for putting in the time to shows which are playable or not!! Been looking for a video exactly like this!! Thank you again!!
Awesome work sir, I wanted to see how it would add up to some more demanding emulation, this is great.
Thanks man!
Thank you so much for your hard work!
This was a phenomenal showcase ❤
I'm sure it must have taken forever to put this together.
Could you please try out: Champions of Norrath, Disgaea 2, Katamari Damancy, Makai Kingdom, Psychonauts and Yugioh Duelist of the Roses
I just found your channel, I'm going to check out if you also have a video for GC next
Glad you enjoyed it! Disgaea 2, Makai Kingdom, and Yu Gi Oh should be fully playable based on tests with the RP2+!
Love the amount of effort you put into this video! Thanks for posting.
Top tier work as always. Kudos.
Thank you! Cheers!
amazing dude. thank a lot for the hard dedication. your compatibility Excels are also super dupper nice. Cheers!! 💪👏
Glad you like it! Thanks mate!
Thanks for your time… definitely a new subscriber and retroid user
I ordered my RP3+ not too long ago, but now I'm excited. Nice work
Thanks! A good affordable handheld it is
Awesome video! Discovered a lot of gems here! Thanks!
You deserve the biggest like ever for this amazing effort !!
Thank you! Cheers!
I don’t know if many people appreciate how useful this video is for anyone who is looking to buy a retroid pocket 3+ with the interest of running ps2 games as it’s hit n miss if the games run good or not and sum games that don’t run well could b a deal breaker
150 is a lot, thanks to try out all the games for us to see how the ps2 games run on the rp3+
Definitely took forever! Thanks for the support
More than well deserved subscrition, thank you so much for this!
Thanks for the sub!
Thanks for your hard work :)will have to wait for something stronger:)
Helped me make my decision, thank you!
Great to hear!
The tierlist format is perfect.
omg this channel is a gem !!
Great job, pal. Always usefull !
thanks!
great work! deserved a sub forsure!
Thank you so much for testing Devil Kings I was curious to see how it'd perform on RP3+!
You have a lot of patience thank you for doing what I couldnt
Thanks for the support!
You're welcome
This guy really printed game covers and cut it one by one for this video 😭
that took forever as well lol
Slap that hard work in the patience needed category.
Oh man, thank you for this video!
and thanks for watching!
Thank you !! I need this !!
Glad it was helpful!
You're a legend for this one.
Really appreciate it!
Great job 👍🏽
Good Lawd!!! That's a lot of games tested.
Thank You for testing all those games man. The patience of playing and editing this video.
You are the man Mono💪😎
You bet! This took forever to play, shoot, and edit. Thanks for watching!
Incredible video. 🎉
I follow you because of this hardworking
now that the rp3+ has had a performance improving firmware would be good to get a follow up of this to see if any of the less than super smooth apps get bumped up a category
Yup, gonna do some tests. Hopefully soon!
I find it really funny how I beat 7 Blades this week and it was the first game you showed?
Coincidence? I think not!
Nice video. Can we transfer saves from other places to this?
Nice job including Chaos Legion.
Lol. I've never even heard of 7 blades prior to this. Looks like a solid game!
As for transfering saves, I see tutorials floating around but I've never tried them myself!
18:19 The compatability spreadsheet says to enable EE Cycle Skip 1 and it should play well.
I like how you make testing and review...
Thanks!
Top notch work, and were these done with "stock" settings or was there any tweaking?
many thanks, man!
Thanks for watching!
I like how you label the results.
Do another 150 please. 😍
gonna have to shed blood sweat and tears for that. But hey if the reception of this video turns out great then why not
Amazing amount of work for this video. Ive been trying to see if monster hunter would play on the rp3+
Thanks. This helps a lot of us.
Glad it helped!
The extra effort to print out the lil game boxes was a nice touch
I wonder how many 'Playable' ones became super smooth after the recent firmware updates, or the patience to playable.
Doing Gods work ❤️
Thanks for watching!
Doing my best to be patient and wait for RP4+. Hopefully the 4 comes out before the end of the year and the plus follows a few months later. Using my Miyoo Mini Plus until then. I really want great GC and PS2 before I get something else.
This great!!!! Any idea how Yu Yu Hakusho: Dark Tournament would run on the Retroid Pocket 3 Plus? Thanks.
what an effort and time consuming video.. btw have you test Asterix and Obelix PS2 on RP3+? I hope it's playable, I have plan on having this RP3+ or RP Flip. I dont know how much hours I spent on that game when I was a kid
Haven't tried asterix and belisk! But will put that on the list to test on the RP Flip
you are literally the BEST handheld reviewer. holy moly
this was super helpful
Thanks for the support!
17:25 Thanks for checking Legaia 2! You are awesome!
Any time! Thanks for waching!
Great review. Was thinking about a emulator system? I’ll probably hold on for a bit?
Wish you tried out other Wild Arms titles like 4,5 and Alter Code F. Either way this is all I need to push me to get something a little beefier than the rp3+.
I have a question, were any of these roms the Pal or the NTSC Versions?
Did you play the boss in Gradius V? Usually the framerate drops an insane amount when they show up.
Bravo. Your time is appreciated
I have question, how did you get guitar hero 2 working? I couldn’t seem to get it working at all on the pcsx2 emulator not sure if I set it up right I couldn’t get the buttons working for some reason and it said something like microphone not connected
You did gods work
I wonder how this list would change adter the firmware update. Otherwise a fantastic video, thank you. My RP 3+ will arrive soon (same color! ❤) and it's my first emulation handheld. I hope I can get a hang of it.
well done bro
Not too bad but I'm going to stick with my ps2. Some of these games I have on ps3 and ps4 also switch. I wanted to see how the retroid pocket 3+ take on demanding games like Scarface or the punisher. A bunch of the obscure games on this list are in my ps2 collection. Dragon quest viii is super playable on 3ds. I still have my ps2 copy as well. Gun would be another game to try on retroid or king Kong. Burnout revenge also blood Rayne 2 should be tested on this.
Not sure if I want one of these, my ability to emulate is shotty at best, also I literally just learned of this thing's existence. Still, I'm just absolutely amazed that someone came up with the concept for an emulaating console, and this was the result. Also it's super affordable, I love how it corners the market for nostalgia junkies just looking to relive a bunch of games they no longer have, or never got to try.
It's definitely almost a dream come true for me, never thought we will be having handhelds that can play PS2 games!
yea! im still waiting to see if this is finally the one for me of if there’s a rp4 or retroid flip+ otherwise im set on this
I want a flip so badly. But am hoping a Flip + gets announced. How long does Retroid take in announcing there upgrades? Any chance of it being this year or wait till 2024 maybe.
First, wow and props for printing out pictures!
Second, does this mean something like emulation on the Galaxy Note 10 will produce similar results?
Thanks for the support! And sadly i don't own the galaxy note 10, but judging from the specs, it MIGHT produce somewhat the same performance
Man,i love you.
thats a lot of games thanks for the video
Thanks for watching!
nice works man!
anw i really loves playing PS2, and currently i still find the retro device for emulation PS2 with super smooth state. do u have any recommendation above RP3+?
If you can get your hands on one, I'd say the Odin Pro is the closest you can get for now!
@@monospacechannel i just typing 'Odin Pro' without any type? thank u anyway
@@ash-island- Ayn odin
Dude, Altho I do not own the device and do not think will be getting a hand held.
You have done a super wonderful service to many many people, Thanks!!!
Dude your awesome, i was wondering how well PS2 played on the RP3+, any chance you have a recommendation for a handheld slightly better than the RP3+ that can handle most PS2 games with no issue for the most part? Thanks.
Thanks! The market now is a bit limited for handhelds just slightly above the RP3+. Maybe try taking a look at the Odin/Loki
Wow that's amazing! I'm officially subscribing!!! Can you test out Baldurs Gate dark alliance 1 and 2??? Thank you!!!
Thanks for the support! we'll see if this video gets a lot of views than I might do another one for games I haven't tested!
The amount of detail... is amazing.
I mean the dude even printed out artwork
Great work, though my "Deal Breaker" games weren't amongst these :( . Where is the love for Time Splitters 2, Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance (1 & 2), And Midnight Club 2... Apart from that... Top effort!!!
I wish you did Rogue Galaxy :(
But this made me rethink of what I think about my rp3+. so thank you :)
Totally missed that. Rogue galaxy is usually difficult to emulate, should have tested them :(
Does the Champions games like Norrath or Return to Arms work on this? Oh also Eternal Ring by Fromsoft? Thank you, I'm really wanting a Flip. But dont know if i should buy it as my first handheld emulator or wait for a Flip + hopefully.
doing gods work
Thanks! appreciate the support
OMG! Tekken Tag is one of my favourites. Is there a tweak that can be done to have it perform well? 😢
bro....that fan service thing. tha kyou so much bro.
Lol i see you're a man of culture as well
With the upcoming RP4 I'm going to come into it with this expectation so I'm not disappointed
Glad i waited to get one til after a few firmware updates and there's a nice list of compatible games to check before i put em on the card. Plus having a soft modded ps2 and wii means i only have so many games in mind to play on the go. And this sucker is only $125 US right now! Go ahead and add on that grip and hall effect joysticks!
Hello there, will you try out ps2 games again for retroid 4/4pro when it's available? That would be much appreciated 👍
what were the settings for growlanser? thank you!
Is this all native resolution? Would some of the games like Final fantasy 10 or persona 4 work with 2x resolution?
Getting mine soon but I've heard under-clocking helps with performance in some cases
Will the region matter with respect to the games' performance? Might have to overhaul my PS2 ROM library with PAL versions just for RP3+.
Sometimes they do, but not by much! And in my experience some are better with NTSC, whilst some are better with PAL
How warm was your device while testing ? Mine gets very hot to the point it makes my hands sweaty (recorded temps between 75 and 83°C at most)
Based on my tests my RP3+ were actually not hot. Just a bit warm!
Thanks . I owe you a beer . Subscribed
Thanks for the sub! A sub is as good as a beer nowadays lol
What an absolute legend
Really good work with this explanation video, but i have a question regarding the Jak and Daxter franchise, in this video no one game is tested.
So my question is how the trilogy is actually playable? Anyone tested this with this console or one similare?
How do you get Suikoden 5 to run super smooth? I have frame dip issues after the first cut scene.
omfg you actually tested SOCOM2! THANK YOU, nobody ever does it seems lol
I try to test a couple of games from every genre!
Can you play the old LMA manager games on these?
Did you actually printed out those paper markers? Also where you get the roms?
Yeah I did lol. As for the ROMS, just search on how to get them on google. As I can't share them here!
Mad man... you did some of the hard part for me!!
Edit: looks like Im testing Monster Hunter myself
