2024 Retro Handheld Buyers Guide | Watch Before You BUY!!

[@JaviPlayRetro]

There have been so many great handhelds this year. We are so blessed. Its gonna a tough choice for picking just one when they're all so good.

[@CellPhish]

Right. This year is packed. I’m not even sure how many I cut this down too like 35ish 😂

[@LeftEarth2]

@@JaviPlayRetro Pick one?! 😂 _"Yeah, yeah, but your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should."_ (and yes, I need a team of scientists to help me pick just one.)

[@CornyPuddle]

I know there's been a lot of releases this year. But it's been nice. So many to choose from

[@CellPhish]

I couldn’t agree more. More choice is always better for the consumer

[@dreadlock17]

Thanks for making this video. I'm fairly new to this. Currently only have the TSP and R36S. Looking forward to add to the collection. Subbed!

[@CellPhish]

Awesome. Glad you found this useful. Welcome to the family

lol it’s the first time

[@kessahmed647]

I’m just glad you ain’t some fake AI vid 😅. Thumbs up 👍

[@CellPhish]

Thank you. I’m also not a fan of those vids. I can stand the way they say model numbers

[@dutton2666]

Picked up my first handheld the rp4p on the recent sale for £120 can not wait for it to arrive.

[@CellPhish]

That’s a great deal. It’s a fun handheld

[@RionRedemp83]

The TrimUI Brick looks like the best deal 🤝

[@CellPhish]

I love the Brick

[@jeniverre]

46:41 you can run pico-8 splore via winlator

[@CellPhish]

Yeah I’ve done that but it’s a but it’s not a clean solution. I run PC games with Winlater too but again not as simple as clicking a game in your library

[@Als-Retro-Handhelds]

Great video buddy, i stick Knulli on all my H700 devices, works a treat. Where did you get your Yellow buttons on your RG35XX 2024?

[@CellPhish]

Thank you. I got those buttons from CloudLife6. I actually get all my buttons from them and now their Etsy page is down so I don’t know what’s going on there

[@leelee7334]

I can't lie that your desk looks awesome. I wish I could count the handhelds. You even turned some on. I like the A30 just wish they would have put a stable processor in it because it should beat the Trimui Smart. It would be the budget king at $30. 28xx would be good if the controls wasn't so small. RGB10 Max 3 doesn't really get enough love. The only thing I didn't like was the D-pad; it could have been better. I love the D-pad on the RP4 Pro probably the best I ever used for fighters; I think I like the 4 Pro over the 5; the 5 just have more features but I don't think the controls are as good. I would like to see the difference between the Odin and the new Aya Neo Pocket. I don't the performance is that big of a jump but I'd like to know.

[@CellPhish]

Thank you. You make a lot of good points. In benchmarks the Odin already out performs the SOC in the Neo Pocket. Yes the Pocket should be more powerful but because it’s not a common CPU there isn’t driver support for it and even some Android games won’t play on it.

[@Bloodshade]

Is there an excel spreadsheet for like which machines do which emulation?

[@CellPhish]

I have been working on a list of emulation per CPU and Firmware. The combo really can make a big difference. For example if you use something like MinUI on any chipset you lose most 3D gaming support. But on the same handheld you would be able to run a different firmware and get a completely different emulation experience. So in short no and it is getting more difficult to update a list as updates are constantly releasing.

[@Bloodshade]

@@CellPhish it’s wild to me that they keep flooding the market with options, especially when they limit what works best on which device. Over saturation is actually preventing me from buying anything

[@leelee7334]

@@Bloodshade yes, I have seen a couple of list out there. One by Retro Handhelds, kind of a big spreadsheet and one by Joey's handhelds but his is kind of different. They don't tend to put every handheld on it so if you're looking for ewaste, it might not be there.

Sorry to drop another channel but retrocatalog is great.

put your odin 2 on linux that way you can play everything your steam deck does and the form factor is better

I did that with one of my Odin 1 Pros, the other I dual boot windows with

I really appreciate your efforts! Could you help me with something unrelated: I have a SafePal wallet with USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?

[@CellPhish]

No idea what that is
