Yesterday I read RetroDodo's "best retro handhelds of 2024" article. It included devices like the Analogue Pocket (2021), Playdate (2022, doesn't play retro games), original AYN Odin (2022), Evercade EXP (2022), RG351V (2021), and Funkey S (2021)... but it didn't mention the RG35XX H/SP or RG Cube. And the article was published _last week._ So ... I just wanted to say thanks for making your 2024 list actually list 2024 products.

Redemption arc driven by community. Similar to how the Miyoo Mini was successful due to OnionOS. No company (Miyoo or Anbernic) should be rewarded for releasing half-baked products. They should release their source code, or just use the same SOC as Miyoo Mini Plus. Anbernic screwed up by not making the face buttons of 28XX bigger. I'm waiting for the next handheld in this space that combines the best of both A30 and 28xx (hopium).

I'm not sure if I ever thanked you properly, but I want you to know that your videos were incredibly insightful into borderline *every detail* of the systems and what I needed to know before deciding on what handheld to buy. I've mentioned it before, but I'm pretty happy with the RG35XX Plus and I used your videos as the guide to figure out that it was the device for me _pretty effortlessly._ Keep doing what you're doing. With how many systems Anbernic puts out and how fast the market shifts, it's helpful to have videos like this one that slide all of the crap off the counter and into the trash and showcase which systems people might actually want and why they're worth considering over one another.

I originally wanted to get an RG35XXSP and Odin 2 mini, but got the RG35XXH and Odin 2 instead because of your recommendation and I couldn't be happier with my purchase ! Being able to play PS1 at 480p on a device that I can just slide into my pocket has been such a game changer for me, I actually feel inclined to play games again ! As for the Odin 2, I've only had it for a couple of days but this might be the best purchase I've made after the Steam Deck, it's such an incredible machine, and the fact that I can play switch on it is just incredible. Your channel has single handedly made me fall back in love with gaming again. Keep up the great work Russ, big fan of your stuff !

I currently own a Steam Deck OLED and a recently purchased RP4P after deciding that the RP2S wasn't for me, mainly because of the screen being too small and ultimately giving me headaches after long uses. Loving everything else about the 2S, the 4 and 4P were on my radar and I decided to bite the bullet and go with the Pro. I couldn't be happier, even with the Odin 2 Mini releasing shortly after my purchase, which also looks solid. Overall, the pocketability, power, and price of the RP4P is still more appealing to me than the Odin 2 Mini, as well as any other emulation device. These two are my all time favorite gaming devices now, and they are perfect companions. Thanks for the rundown on your favorites, too!

Completely agree what you said about the Odin 2 mini, for that kinda of price (340$ without shipping) it doesn't really make sense, that's steam deck territory and you can get refurbished decks for cheaper then that. 300$ is kind of the sweet spot when it comes to high end android gaming handhelds.

RP4P is basically perfect; no it can't do great switch emulation, but that's a current gen system where the library will likely continue getting support via switch 2 for another 6-8 years. My only minor gripe with the rp4p (that doesn't seem to bother anyone else) is that the usb c port isn't centered; this would drive me crazy when docking the system to use as a console.

The price is pretty amazing for the value of what you're getting! The only other device I own that I generally prefer is the Steam Deck, however, I never travel with my Steam Deck, so the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro is a great travel companion!

Anbernic has had a fantastic 2024 so far. The RG35XX H is checks off so many boxes and it's not surprising that so many people have bought it.

People make fun of Anbernic for releasing so many devices, but each one has filled a niche quite effectively.

Bought a rg35xx H a few month's a go. I researched a bunch beforehand, and used these videos in to find "the one". Im pretty happy with my device, its fine as it is. The real lesson for me was that there isn't realy a "the one" device, and also, that you can only truly know what aspects of a device are important to you after youv'e tried and experienced a few things here and there. What I thought to be important before purchasing quicky changed after playing for a bit on the device. I think its generally a good idea to go with a mainstream option and see how you like it for yourself, and don't expect to get the full package in one go. Anyway the rg35 h was decent for me and I probaly won't upgrade from this one because the whole retro gaming thing isn't that intresting to me personally. Its still a fun gadget to have around and I will definitely grab it now and then. Cheers!

retroid pocket 4 pro and a miyoo mini plus has been my favorite combo of devices to own. Covers almost all use cases that are useful, and the blind spots are better suited for just using the og device (aka 3ds, psp, vita, switch.) it's hard to recommend a device other than the rp4 pro at the price. anything more expensive starts running into steam deck territory, and anything cheaper you're better off sticking to miyoo or rg35xx devices.

An FPGA powerful enough to work as 3DS hardware would be extremely expensive still. I don't think people have fully reverse engineered 3DS hardware anyway.

I'm having way too much fun with the Funny Playing FPGBC. It's nice to just have in your bag during travel and not worry about the battery life or whether its OS will get corrupted.

I love my GKD Pixel. The metal body and buttons make it feel really well built, the speaker is great on such a tiny device. Also it's great when I'm giving the baby a bottle since it's easy to play one handed.

The only one I got so far this year has been the FPGBC. Awesome in almost every way, but the sound vibrates the plastic so much that it makes rattling noise. My Steam Deck still has me hooked, so it's hard to consider anything else when the Steam Deck gives everything I'd want.

On the subject of price, while it is true that the Odin 2 doesn't have $140 more performance, there is the potential benefit where spending more at first can save you in the long run, it can remove any incentive to buy any of the $150-200 devices since even the next iteration of them are unlikely to match the Odin 2 (or mini), whereas there's more chance of considering an upgrade with either the rp4p or rg556.

I’ve always enjoyed watching your videos, it’s the reason why I got into the Retro Emulation Market. My Favorite by Far is the Retroid Pocket Series. Of course there are other Brands but never bothered getting them. Miyoo is a Linux OS and I don’t have Linux. Of course Retroid’s Rival: Anbernic, that Brand always Released Numberous Handhelds that I don’t know which one to pick. It’s annoying how Anbernic always have Newer Ones that has Different Look or Performance. Finally I’m considering getting the Ayn Odin 2 which is Stronger than the RP4 Pro & has a 6-inch Screen. There is an Odin 2 Mini but it’s Pricey. Then there’s the Holy Grail Steam Deck which is regarded as the Best but the MOST Expensive and Biggest. I’ll still do some Research and Save Money while I’m at it.

The Miyoo A30 becoming your favorite micro handheld is very surprising. I went with the RG28XX after watching reviews on both devices and I'm pretty happy with it but it's good to know you can't go wrong either way.

3:40 - Hmm.. I don't know about that sentiment Russ. We're on different sides of the fence of the AMOLED display debate but there's enough IPS kits which are decent options for OG hardware. Those mods are a bit trickier than the FPGA kit and about double the price of the FPGA kit for ones with the mod work done. So there are price and convenience benefits to FPGA but ideally usability should be in the same ballpark once the mod is complete and including the larger screen. Really what I would like is an FPGA GBC with AMOLED desaturation options which could be dropped into any form factor - DMG, color, horizontal GBA like the Frog Boy, and SP. Micro might be a bit of a pipedream. So we're not quite there yet with this modware. It's all interesting novelty but it has potential. As long as it's fun, that's all that matters.

Anbernic is really doing some good stuff. The RG Arc is perfect for genesis sega CD (saturn needs more power). And the RG Cube seems perfect for gamecube. They have a micro one, one for GBA sp. Just need an SNES one with NO ANALOGS.

I hope we see more competition in the sub-$200 range for Gamecube and PS2 devices. The $300+ for the Odin 2 Mini is a crazy asking price when the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro is so close to what it offers. $100 difference is just money better saved than spent on such a small improvement, even if I do think the form-factor of the Vita is much nicer than what the RP4 Pro is offering. I can't even consider the Anbernic device because if I'm paying that much money for a device to play Gamecube and PS2 games, it had better play *all* of them and preferably with some improvements to resolution/visuals if possible so that a lot of these older games don't feel blurry. Thankfully these companies push out so many systems in such a short span it's really only a matter of time before something new comes along to shake things up and perhaps it all will become even more affordable, to boot. I'm still in the space where I'm considering just getting a Steam Deck one day and using that for Gamecube, PS2, Wii and whatever else I want to emulate, since it also comes with PC game options, but if they manage to release a system under $200 that's as impressive or heck, even *more* impressive in terms of performance, I would be hard-pressed to not save myself another $100-200 by getting it instead.

I have a rp4 pro and the rg35xx sp. Both fill different niches, and I'm glad I bought them. I was surprised how good Vita emulation is on the rp4. Played through all of persona 4 golden. There was a weird camera glitch that happened sometimes, but it ran smooth.

Powkiddy V10 review waiting room c: 7:57 nice to see that Spruce fixed the slow exiting game time that Joey initially showed in his vid. When I saw Spruce I immediately ordered the A30 cause the controls look and must feel so much better than the RG28XX. I wonder if I'll ge the "fixed" better d-pad version. Very excited to try it out :)

Just joined the handheld emulation scene a couple months ago. I have the Miyoo Mini+(2023) and the RP4Pro. Both are awesome. The RP4Pro is freaking amazing and I haven't even scratched the surface. Having trouble getting the BIOSs' straightened out due to my fear of heights...nah I'm just not very smart. Good video. Your breakdown of the previously mentioned handhelds were what I used to decide on both purchases.
