Surprisingly I use this more than my Odin 2 Pro, I upgraded from my Miyoo Mini+ to this because I wanted a portable handheld that can handle all of N64 and Dreamcast, I also like the 4:3 aspect ratio screen for my retro games on this

@hadouken2123 5 ай бұрын

Same here. RP2s is really a geat addition when you already have an Odin 2 which I find sometimes way too big and overengineered for N64 and below.

I just got mine! I've been looking for a powerful and pocketable device that was around $100. I bought a 35XXH for $46 on sale but it had a defective screen, so I decided to spend a little more on quality and performance and I'm really happy I did. My only gripes with it is I wish the screen was just slightly bigger, and I also with the ABXY buttons weren't as loud as they are. In comparison, the 35XXH buttons were like half as loud. Otherwise, It's becoming one of my favorite pieces of tech I've ever owned, right next to the Steam Deck OLED. It's incredibly underappreciated and a really solid value at a budget friendly price point that I hope Retroid keeps improving on in future devices. Great review, you gained a sub!

Bonus: You can run a handful of low powered Vita games. Guacamelee, Dex, Adventure Time, Downwell, Limbo, Undertale, Shovel Knight, and surprisingly Final Fantasy X/X2 HD

I'll have to try that out at some point!

@jekrvn7408 5 ай бұрын

Another bonus is that you can actually run some switch games such as Celeste, Shovel Knight and Sonic Mania. A very few select titles but I'm not complaining.

This device is where I enjoy my Ps1 and Dreamcast games the most! I like my rg35xx for gameboy (shocker) and the H for GBA (Shocker x2). However when it comes to taking a device with me, the H is my edc device.

I have the 2s and 4 pro. The 2s is more thorough in your pocket and retro game. The pro i use for the ps2 and gamecube games. The built quality is pretty solid. Highly recommend.

if you are willing to buy the RG405V then it will be worth it, since the RG405V has the power and chipset of the RG405M so you will literally have a flawless experience. (up to dreamcast and nintendo 64, gamecube is playable if you use the MMJR version)

is this still best for 100$ 4 months later ? was looking at TRIMUI SMART PRO 128GB CrossMix OS

@GravelWare Ай бұрын

TrimUI Smart Pro is definitely a really good handheld, and in some ways preferable to this (imo the screen on the TrimUI is much better). But the trimui smart pro won't be able to play every N64, Dreamcast, or PSP game available, while the Retroid Pocket 2S will pretty much be able to handle all of them. And you can try some PS2/Gamecube/Wii emulation here, which the TrimUI can't do at all. But if you don't care about the extra power boost here, the TrimUI Smart Pro is a really good option for the money (I regularly see them on Aliexpress for around $55)

instead of using 2 fingers for A and Y then you probably should just move ur finger in terms of degrees to actually use both buttons.

@otisshroulote4789 Ай бұрын

Not to be rude, but you realize that this company is from China. This stuff is made in China, so of course, it's not going to have free shipping. Retroid isn't charging you for the shipping they ask you which shipping provider you want to pay for. By the way, if you live in the U.S. or Canada use DHL. Yes, it's more expensive, but you'll get it much quicker it won't be amazon speed, but it will be quicker
