[@ToyKeeper]

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.

[@waltlock8805]

To be fair, if the purpose of the article was the best to buy in 2024, then older models may still be the best choice.

[@Jet-Jots]

I love my RP4P which I also ended up purchasing because of your recommendations. And while it has been an absolute blast to replay retro games, I underestimated how much use I get out of it from cloud streaming! I exclusively played Dragon's Dogma 2, Skull and Bones, Unicorn Overlord, Hades 2, and now Shadow of the Erdtree on this little beast and the experience has been nothing less than exactly what I wanted. Absolutely recommended!

[@NaGoddo]

What service do you use to stream? Nvidia?

[@jinstinky501]

Nice, I'm thinking I need one too.

[@freelunch9321]

right?! i been loving gamepass cloud streaming on it as well. it's amazing how far the cloud streaming tech has come. the latency & video quality reduction (even with great connection) used to bug the hell out of me, but I can barely notice it these days. so underrated

that budget handhelds video was really great, but I was definitely looking forward to this one! always great that you release several videos reviewing multiple handhelds with a different focus

[@Dansoo]

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 !

[@Conellossus]

I’m loving the Miyoo A30 redemption arc. Makes me feel validated for being one of the first wave buyers.

[@ToyKeeper]

The community keeps bailing out Miyoo, doing the company's work for them. Miyoo should have at least released source code, as required by the licenses of the code they're using... but they don't even do that.

[@unrequitedhate]

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).

[@lbnFadl]

​@unrequitedhate I'm huffing the same hopium, but I'm also starting to think they deliberately never release 'the' definitive device so they can keep dropping more lol

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.

[@Shawn1302]

Just got my own RG SP in today, now I gotta watch your setup tutorial. Thanks Russ!

[@Rkiver]

The Funny Playing Game Boy is something I jumped on very fast once I saw the video Russ made. Arrived fast, easy build, and honestly,love it. Went all black myself, but now they have different coloured PCBs and all. Seriously, if you like GB and GBC, go get it. Worth it.

[@jayjayhooksch1]

[@nathaniles5456]

Amazing handheld, I think it's THE entry point for this hobby.

[@brandongabel]

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!

[@gadply]

Man i love your videos even when i don't want a handheld

[@nefariou5]

Every time I am tempted by the Odin 2 mini, I am reminded by how amazing the rp4 pro is at half the price. Really doesn't feel like the price difference is worth it (even more so as a steam deck owner too)

[@the_Acaman]

Can I use the rp4p to play android games instead of my phone reliably? That's all I care about. Also I like its size too- odin 2 seems too big and is also almost twice the price

[@Brunoxid0]

Watching this with my rp4p right by my side. Definitely made the right choice.

[@yesac100]

Picked up my first retro handheld last week (an r36s I'm calling the GameGal) and found your channel while working on getting it set up just right. ❤

[@mattb6522]

Good video! Yeah, I picked up the Retro Pocket 4 Pro awhile back and it has been my absolute favorite pocketable handheld! I was looking for a handheld that went beyond the Dreamcast into PS2/GameCube territory and the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro really fits the bill nicely! 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!

[@ashthegeek7400]

Just got my RG35xx a couple of days ago. Your videos convinced me to pull the trigger on it. Currently playing Cave Story on it, and I love the device!

[@eliasmares2929]

Killed it with this video. Been thinking of picking up one of these systems and this video made so easier to decide. Thank you kindly 🙏🏽

[@jayjayhooksch1]

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.

[@kenmeadows444]

I am so happy with my RG556, you're spot on, just right for price and performance and the Amoled display is just stunning!

[@roguegeek]

I really think you should do a revisit video for the A30. That thing deserves more love. As always, great content, Russ.

[@DiarioDeUnLuis]

I just got a RG35XX H and Im super happy! I'm using muOS and is a great CFW. I'm pretty new in the retro gaming but I think that the H was the best way to start!

[@ZefZiona]

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.

[@intenseretrogaming]

I have most of these handhelds, but I'm surprised the A30 is my current favorite. It's well designed and you don't feel like playing on a small screen; also, it's comfortable for the size and the full size controls are great! It is immersive and just disappears, letting you focus on your retro game.

[@TheDezmen3]

"Price to performance" i would give to Odin 2 Base 🤔 299$ is 50% more from Retroid Pro price while ~140% in 3D performance and 80%~ in CPU (those are rough numbers, but 8Gen2 is indeed much more powerful SoC that you can also use to emulate Windows games)

[@jsb-619atl]

is there documentation or a video I can reference to see these numbers?

[@TheDezmen3]

@@jsb-619atl mostly on sites like nanoreview, versus, etc. They usually show benchmark numbers, game fps, etc. Those are rough numbers, but obviously 8Gen2 is way more powerful chip than 1100 from a price-performance point

[@lawrencegerona9032]

​@@jsb-619atl SD 8 gen 2 in Odin 2 is 1.5M in antutu while D1100 in retroid is 750k. Although I don't think it translate that much on emulation cause every emulator I tried works well on both devices (except for Switch since I haven't tried it). But for future proof its better to shell out extra bucks for Odin2. By the way Genshin Impact in max settings kinda lags in retroid but very smooth on Odin2 (for reference if you also play android games)

[@jsb-619atl]

@@lawrencegerona9032 gotcha, thank you

[@skycloud4802]

I think the problem in any case with Odin 2 is that it is approaches the Steam Deck in price without offering the same matching performance and the user experience of a Steam Deck.

[@TheAwsumFunk]

If I have an Odin Pro (not the 2), is the RP4 Pro an upgrade? Should I save up and get an Odin 2 instead? I would actually prefer the Mini over the original 2 because of it's size, and it's even more expensive. I want it for gen 6 games, which the Odin does fine (mostly, with some concessions). But the analog sticks have gotten finicky, so I want something with those hall-effect sticks.

[@danielvillanueva3792]

Retroid Pocket 4 + Analog Pocket is the best combo!

[@greentomato5]

Odin 2 mini or RP4P Russ please I don’t know what to do or what to buy 😢, I only want to play ps2 horror games and smash bros melee and be not super bulky 😭😭😭😭 Odin 2 mini is so badly priced but it’s so portable and powerful 😭😭

[@wearecity]

Got a Retroid Pocket 4 pro and it's an excellent system. Sometimes, people don't like to think they've bought a duffer, so will big it up. But here, after about 5 months of use, this isn't the case. I agree the screen could be a little bit bigger, it's not 100% comfortable in my hands and the controls aren't perfect, but overall, it's definitely a 9.5/10 for me.

[@Setzer777]

The RGCube would have been my pick over the RGB30 if they had put the D-Pad on top and used Linux over Android. Also, the screen on the RGB30 is much better than the screen on the Cube.

[@fillerbunnyninjashark271]

Cube is pretty much a shmup machine. The only time I agree with the analog on top. Retroid pocket 4 for 4:3/16:9 gaming

[@rickyrns1059]

The screen on the RGB30 is the exact same display panel as the Cube, from the same manufacturer and everything. The issue with the Cube is an assembly issue on Anbernic messing up and putting too much pressure on the screen for some of the current stock, it’s not the screen panel itself that’s the problem.

[@uncaringbear]

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. And with the recent news about a software fix for the thumbsticks, the RG556 and the Cube are even more compelling. People make fun of Anbernic for releasing so many devices, but each one has filled a niche quite effectively.

[@LeenNL13]

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!

[@malleus1881]

The A30 had a rough start but it has really shaped up into a great little handheld.

[@hetoriaansverbond5944]

Not released in 2024, but the two devices that I've bought this year (thanks to this channel) are a Retroid Pocket 3 Plus, and a RG ARC. Both are perfect for my needs, but I love the ARC just a little more, since I was a Sega kid. Great video!

[@vinnieb977]

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.

[@YandrakXaflan]

I had the retroid flip. I have had the Retroid 4 pro for a month now. And the leap has been very big not only in emulation. Also in quality of materials. For me, a better finish than the switch lie

3ds at 2x res on the cube has been revelatory, getting the screens on top of one another as intended just feels so right

[@UMvsC3DPFWPW]

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.

[@SilverKnight16]

Bought the RG556, and don't regret it one bit. Even with the dpad being beneath the analog stick, it's still super comfy to use. Perfect for me in basically every way.

[@jeremy__hopkins]

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.

12:26 what launcher for rg556?

[@MrMovees87]

Out of the ones shown here, I have the RP4P, the Anbernic RG556, and the Anbernic RG35XXSP, and I love them all. Between those and my ROG Ally (Z1 Extreme), I have all of my needs covered and then some, and I couldn’t be happier!

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.

I'm loving Miyoo A30 with Spruce. Playing everything just fine and is small and beautiful. I'm hoping they release FPGBA with GBA classic form factor, would be amazing!

Awesome list right there, anbernic has been burning the midnight oil and churning these joints out!

My favorite for GBA games is the Trimui Smart pro, the screen size and proportions it`s just perfect

Anbernic Arc D made my year.. It's so special with that 6 button layout

[@dasmejr6004]

Made me smile to see you use a game boy advance in place of the emulator for that one clip

What’s your favorite out of box handheld? That needs no tweaking and is just ready to go. Thanks
