The only hate I’ve seen is purely due to people not wanting to actually take the time, adjust settings, and find the right build of the emulators. Even on PC you’re downloading dolphin and adjusting settings, not a plug in play even with a i9 w/rtx4090, why would it be any different on an even less versatile device?

My biggest pro for the RP4P is that I can actually put it in my pocket and it's no different than a phone. At home, I throw the grip on or dock it to the tv since it has 1080p output from the usbc charging port, and charges as it casts. It covers all bases for me and that means everything.

It's damn near perfect. The only thing it's missing imo is a widget to change the handheld settings from retro to xbox style.. if im playing gamepass, steam or ps2, psp, dreamcast games you have to go to handheld settings - input - input style then select retro or xbox. For big N games you have to swtich back to retro. If they could develop a toggle or widget to switch back and forth that would be awesome.

The trigger issues have been fixed since February. They are only sending out RP4s with the new backplate on it now, so the chances of you receiving a faulty product are very low. (Besides, Retroid's customer service on their discord is great, so even if you get a faulty piece they will replace it for free within weeks.) Additionally, the ghosting issues with the screen are only apparent when scrolling through white menu screens and you need to be really looking to see it. Finally, the fan is genuinely not that loud. Tech KZbinrs need to stop exaggerating how loud it is. If the sound of a fan running ruins your gaming experience though then maybe that would be an issue? Either way, I highly recommend getting the RP4 Pro, it is hands down the best priced console with unbelievable power. You definitely wouldn't regret the purchase.

I have had retroids since the RP2. My last experience with the RP3+ was great until it didnt get charged after leaving it for a few weeks now its stuck in a boot loop. Still trying to figure out a fix. But instead of giving retroid even more of my money for a very small jump in performance. I chose to go with the AYN Odin 2 Pro. Im tired of having to constantly mess with settings just to get something barely playable. The Odin Pro will blow this out of the water but you are paying for that extra performance. In the long run i believe the Odin 2 to be a better handheld for me.

Android builds can't compete with emulationstation builds as they do all the work for you setting up and updating emulators. You have to do way too much work on android.

There is ES-DE on Android so it's a bit better, but yeah Android in general is a pain in the ass. Hopefully the Android port makes the setup easy enough eventually.

I guess it depends on the kind of person you are too. I enjoy tinkering around with that kind of stuff ( feels like I'm building something) but I can totally understand most people not having an interest in that

ESDE doesn't download emulators so I didnt mention it. It's still a ton of work. Linux builds everything is done for you. I prefer to spend my time messing with the theme and shaders. Plus all saves are in the saves folder not scattered throughout android file system. I bring my saves over from other batocera devices. It's great to get up and running so quickly. I stopped using BigBox because it's just too much work and I would have never known about fantasy consoles and some are pretty good

4:10 took the eaxct words out of my mouth when i compair the rp4pro to my 556 i got this and the anbernic 556 and i dont touch the rp4 pro no more the 556 looks so muuch better the oled and the rp4 pro screen is just alitttle to small for me and it litteraly hurts to hold for mor then 20 min the anbernic feeels so good tbh i sometiems just put it in my hands grip it and go to sleep with it thats how comfortable it feeels and biggeer screen on it make games that normally would be huge on a TV better on a hand held the problem with rp4 pro is these are games that used to be played in the living room on a huge TV they arent made to be plaid with tiny phone screen so the 5.5' screen is perfect for that u can read text and the picture is bigger and more normal on the small 4.7 inch screen retro had its just almost impossible to read ur health bar or text on screen kinda ruins older games imo

To many compromises with the RG556. Don't think so.

Everything about the RP4 Pro looks great apart from the screen, especially against the RG556. I’m honestly surprised they stuck with the old 4.7” 750p iPhone screen this time around. For 4:3 retro games it’s just a bit too small for a 16:9 display.

Both screens are too small for big screen content. That's why I hook my rp4pro up to an external screen during travel (13.3 inches) and to the TV in the hotel room. Then an 8bitdo controller and it's perfect). That way the extra power counts as I mainly play GameCube and ps2.

Worst ergonomics ive ever tried in a handheld, even with the grip. Try playing on a toast it's the same. Too bad I loved everything else about it but it's so horrible, returned it.

theres no reason to buy it if you own a ayn odin pro, the boost is so small it not worth even more cash for a smaller screen and worst quality

It has a lot more power than the odin pro or do you mean the odin 2? Yeah, than the only advantagr is the size and the prize. It costs 100 $ less than the odin 2. That's half the cost of the rp4pro :D
