It's An Improvement - The Retroid Pocket 3... The Ultimate Handheld for 2022 ?

[@georged7627]

One of the donkey Kong country games sound when the retroid pocket 3 boots up🙏🏽👍🏾

[@WickedGamerCollector]

YES !! ❤

[@brianthomason5022]

Thank you!!!!? I knew the sound but couldn't place it to save my life

[@ginyuTV]

you actually dont need to open retro arch at all. it downloads the appropriate cores if they aren't installed when you need them

[@WickedGamerCollector]

ok, thanks for you commant... still easy to show people little bit about the interface etc 😳

[@TampaTec]

I would love to see your complete collection of handheld systems.

[@siredaruler6016]

I agree 💯

[@bivekdebbarma3363]

I guess that's kinda impossible for him to do now cause he keeps on adding new products in his collection so he can't sum up his complete collection of handhelds in one vid , or maybe he can?.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Yes, I can manage that some day 😅😵

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Yes... with this rate it indeed difficult if we make a video now and 4 month later I added maybe new ones to the collection

[@TampaTec]

@@WickedGamerCollector True, probably be a great video for holiday season later in the year. I'll be interested in the handhelds you recommend under $100 and the WG handheld of the year award 🏆.

[@stevensgoodallsg]

That's rather good. Splendid in fact

[@tdata545]

IF I REMEMBER CORRECTLY, one phone company started shipping out Purple USB products and that standard kind of stuck and implies PD. Like technically a lot of USB C cables are PD friendly or QC friendly, but the purple designates thicker wire gauge to properly handle the load.

It wasn't huawei with the P30 series phones?

[@RyanSaotome]

PSP really depends on the kinda games you play. I can easily get 3x resolution on Crisis Core, Birth By Sleep, Persona 3 Portable, Jeanne D'Arc, etc. If you are only interested in like first party Sony AAA games then yeah they might not run well but everything else on PSP runs fine from my experience.

better with a miyoo mini tbh

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Did they not introduce those newer RockChip versions ? Beside that no movement on ali-express with new models tv box models.

[@jwadawson]

Okay you have 100% talked me out of getting one too much of a pain in ass to setup. I'd rather power on and enjoy

@@WickedGamerCollector I'm kinda still leaning towards the rg503, however I'm sure I saw a teaser of an rg505.

I might buy this handheld more for the disassembly but if it works I'll game on it to.

[@dbozgt]

You should get it I’m waiting for my to ship.

[@diomaiaal]

The spare conductive membranes included in the box are the translucent cheaper included on super cheap consoles?

[@shanebland354]

Hey Wicked, I love all your content. I just wanted to know how do you get your hands on so many products. I truly love your videos. You honestly show me what to stay away from, however it's quite expensive. Anyway, I love your videos. Keep it up.

[@JustPeasant]

Are those game that came with the handheld or from your own personal collection, Wicked? I've seen (me at least) plenty times that Bloody Roar 2 does not feature a soundtrack (16:25) for some reason. Is BR2 soundtrack licensed or handheld vendors just want to save space?

[@jeremystate5280]

Will you do some more emu stuff for the Steam Deck in the future?

[@WickedGamerCollector]

I was thinking doing this only I have so much to do. Maybe I move it to Wicked Portable Gaming channel.

[@SebastianJung422]

@@WickedGamerCollector Is the Retroid Pocket 2 still your favorite Handheld? That thing was absolute garbage when it originally came out. 🤣

[@redlion909]

Hi, did you order from the main website? I wanna make an order myself but i dont see any temper screen and other accessories included from the main website. Just a bit afraid.

[@Pridetoons]

This handheld should have came with a Unisoc T618 them we could have played GameCube games.

[@Pridetoons]

@David Morris agreed, especially paired with that 16:9 screen. It makes the device virtually useless.

[@Angultra]

You're in luck, 3+ is coming out soon with T618, just 2 months later

[@OtomoTenzi]

I just have a real quick question... Does it run PS1 & Saturn games FLAWLESSLY, and can it read .BIN files?

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Saturn it's in my opinion not a great great experience. I mostly play this on the Odin from AYN 🙄 About file kind I did see Saturn emulator asked for different file types or just a Zip file. PS1 .bin files don't need a be a problem maybe same for ISO to.

[@OtomoTenzi]

@@WickedGamerCollector And WHY is that? Is the Saturn still a mystery to emulate perfectly even in 2022? PS1 games will run OK at least on MOST modern handhelds out there nowadays. 🤔

[@kevOzilla]

i have a miyoo mini but thinking of getting this is it worth it? making the switch over from a miyoo mini?

[@SticksGazetteFan2005]

say like in super mario world u wanna exit the level since the start and select are on the same lever kinda are u able to hit start select at the same time with the buttons made like that?

[@spakey1983]

Surprising that Russ from game corps couldn't say more positive about it. He did tinker a lot with it though managed to get PS2 to run on it once again awesome review wicked see you again soon 👍

[@KWPZ21]

I know he just review stuff and seems like he has no biased but he mainly always go in depth when it's anything Anbernic. He rarely makes in-depth videos about the OS of other retro consoles. The most that he makes videos about retro consoles other than Anbernic is Miyoo Mini. I just watch other channels to know more about the supported OS of other retro consoles.

[@floyd6124]

do you prefer the Anbernic 353P over this?

[@WickedGamerCollector]

The Anbernic 353P does have a better display format and nostalgia vibe. Software part Anbernic 353P is so much easier to use. Maybe fun to make a compare for you all.

[@MKCamo520]

I have a question for you Steam Deck or Onexplayer. which one is better performance?

[@WickedGamerCollector]

OneXplayer wanted to review that thing for so long only they keep releasing new and new models it's freaking annoying. I'm waiting for that awesome crazy one. More the question about... - What is your budget - What you like for software .. windows or linux - What do you lik to play (because of needed hardware specs) From that point you can tell what you like to buy in the end.

[@MKCamo520]

@@WickedGamerCollector thanks for replying back yes I'm looking for something that can play Mgs 4 Guns of patriots ps3 game and something that can play LEFT 4 dead game basically I'm having hard time finding a good device some people say steam deck and some people say the Loki mini pro but I'm not sure yet. 👍👍

Wicked - you’re the best in the business. The videos are both informative and entertaining. Love watching you play Cadillacs and Dinos. But man, you suck at Excitebike :)

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Whahaha... I can not be good at everything 🤪 Not affraid to show it 😆

[@DavidFilskov]

Looks great :) - thanks for the review! - I really hope its button latency at least matches RP2+'s

[@WickedGamerCollector]

That is my personal problem I don't notice it 🙄 In the end is this hardware nog almost the same so would not be surprised it is the same 😅

[@DavidFilskov]

Yeah - that's my thought too - since it's the same OS. Android seems to generally have higher latency. E.g. Odin Pro (which felt sluggish to me instantly) with 120 ms of latency is 2-3 times longer reaction time than some devices running Linux. Android seems to be able to get down to 60-70 ms if properly optimized - and Linux to round 40-50 ms.

[@mrpigx]

No tear down?

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Maybe next time with replacing the buttons 😅

[@MIAMI_VIBES_]

Awesome, the only thing I don't like is how they changed the layout of the joysticks, I prefer the switch style layout like the retroid 2! However, I know that nothing is perfect but this device is great for retro gaming!

[@WickedGamerCollector]

I hated that start button 😆😆

[@MIAMI_VIBES_]

@@WickedGamerCollector yeap, that's another thing to get use too besides the analog sticks, but that black version looks sweet, lots of people expect to have everything running out of a handheld that cost around $129.00 and to be honest not even the Nintendo switch which cost 299.99 or PC with great specs could emulate perfect because the majority of the problems is related to software issues.

[@sharptoothtrex4486]

On the other hand, I stick to my Nintendo Switch Lite for playing arcade games instead.

[@ImBetterThenEveryone]

This can`t really do even psp so this should have been A 5"-6" screen with analogy 4/3 OR 3/2 to worth the money.

[@Colcalebcat]

A lot of people like it for game streaming, so the 16:9 is fine.

[@ImBetterThenEveryone]

@@Colcalebcat The screen is to small for new generation games, leters and numbers and details are not designed for a 4,7" monitor. Add the usual input lag. This is what people call unplayable,you can do it, but you shouldn't.

[@loringbush1455]

So many handhelds form 🇨🇳 and very little time to play them all!

[@Cyko..]

I like the design of this a lot but yeah, you got to spend quite some time to get everything set up nicely. It's not quite as easy as say an Anbernic device running stock or a custom firmware and all you have to do is put your games in the proper folder, scrape the box art and videos if you wish, and boom, you're playing. Linux is a much nicer experience when it comes to retro gaming.

[@WickedGamerCollector]

Yes, Botacers, EmuElec and other OS .. so much awesome 👌

[@Sevish]

Love how they ripped off the intro sound from Final Fantasy XVIII

[@BEED0GG]

[@mirshia5248]

just use your phone people jeez, if you want the gamepad then get the one what fit phones jeez, all these retro android handhelds are obsolete, the only handhelds that matter are the pc ones

[@Tsargate]

I think the same since I have a GameSirX2 phonepad but I prefer playing these handhelds : only one unit in the hand, more pocketable, pleasure of having a little console in the hands etc...🥹🫣😅🤭😇☺️

[@MrDmoney156]

I'd would agree with this statement but honestly would you rather want people calling you every 4-5 mins whenever u play ur game? and also, don't you gotta conserve battery consumption when playing heavy 3D games? so honestly, i would really much rather have a android powered handheld game device just purely for gaming only and no interruptions.
