What's *your* thoughts on the RP Mini? I look forward to seeing what the RP5 has to offer next! Our Livestream has more GC & PS2 testing (albeit with stock emulators), video out testing and extra thoughts: kzbin.infotlyjgAdlHFs Notes: -The new Retroid Launcher isn't ready yet, that's why you don't see it here, and Batocera Linux (along with Android 13) isn't coming until October. -Micro SD card being used is the SanDisk Extreme 512GB. -More sleep and battery tests to come. -Zombies Ate My Neighbors is *SNES not NES. -My face cam output was set at 29.97fps instead of 30 like usual for both this and the livestream, apologies on the audio lag! -I've learned since that the GP2X Wiz is technically the first OLED 4:3 back in 2009, at 2.8" though. Now THAT'S a small screen Emulators used: 3DS - Lime3DS latest APK from their github, 2x - 3x res Vita - Vita 3K v12 from their website, left on stock settings but might need to tinker to stop the crashes PS2 - NetherSX2 latest alpha patch, pre-built at archive.org, Vulkan 2X res most games GC/Wii - Latest Playstore Dolphin Beta, OpenGL / Dualcore on, 2x res most games PSP - PPSSPP latest apk from their website, 3x res most games x86 - Winlator latest build from their website Everything else - Retroarch x64 apk from their website

Waiting for the RP5 this screen is way too small for my eyes and fingers to be squinting, pressing and swiping at . Plus the bezels arent pretty why didn't they just make it all usable screen at 4"? There would still have been a significant size distinction between this and the 5.5" screen version

They definitely missed the mark with the screen size. OLED is great, but it's not worth that kind of compromise in my opinion. This device would have been an ace in the hole if it had a 4" IPS display. It would have also likely brought the price down as well, which would have made it even more compelling.

I would absolutely love a RP Mini or, even better, RP 5. It seems pretty great. But I'm broke and picky about ergonomics, so instead I ordered a cheap phone with performance roughly on par with the RP 4... to be used with my favorite controller and phone clip and stylus. It should be pretty nice for DS+3DS. Still hyped about these new Retroids though.

I had this in the cart and was about to buy it, but I just couldn't justify the upgrade over an RGB Cube. Almost everything is better (Screen, CPU, Sticks, Front speakers), but I just couldn't push the buy button. Maybe it was because it's Android 10 and only 6gb ram. I think I'm just hopeful that another company will do the same thing, but with a bigger 4:3 screen.

Pocket DMG is actually a 31:27 aspect ratio, and ayaneo market it as a 10:9 display. The display is sourced from the LG Wing(a phone), which had a 3.92-inch secondary OLED display, with a 1240x1080p resolution. Its close to 10:9, but its not quite the same. Still will be great for GB/GBC, NeoGeo, Pico-8, like usual 1:1 or 10:9 handhelds are.

Already have a high end android handheld, so I used the money for 3 cheaper handhelds. Might try to get the 4pro at a discount

Wish they would make these with 6 face buttons. Arcade and Sega emulation would benefit heavily from 6 face buttons.

I wanted to buy this so badly, but unfortunately that screen to console ratio + all glass front + 3.7” screen is a killer for me. Going to stick to the Rg405M and steamdeck until another competitor appears

The RP5 should be the perfect companion to my Ally. Anything more expensive than the RP5 is just too much for an Android device.

Would be cool if they made it vertcal with some dmg vibes. Not really RP's jam though.

OLED is nice but you're better off with the cheapest SteamDeck model. The 7" screen is perfect size. 4" is way too small

I would opt for the 5 for the size of the screen over the Mini, if I were to choose one at this point.

It's too bad you didn't talk about the Retroid launcher (they said they had revised it) or about Batocera support (again, Retroid said it would be available on it)

Ah I did during the outro, and also during the livestream last night. The Launcher isn't ready yet, and Batocera is coming in October.

I hope to see how Zelda twilight princess runs on the rp5 mini. I saw a chinese video, that shows this game for a couple seconds and it had a massive slow down, before he cut to the next game. Maybe he used the wrong settings?

okay i think i cancelling my preorder for the ayaneo pocket micro and get this one instead. I think the gc/ps2 performane is much better. I thought the pocket micro would be a bit more powerful

Just remember there are reasons why they cannot just make the screen size everybody wants because they just getting wants available in the market, they dont have the budget to make their own screens atm. I just hope the maximize or proportion the face of the device
