Sure... but it's more than half price of a steam deck that can emulate even more systems and play AAA title new games. Personally I'd just save up a little longer and get the deck

​@@HalfMonty11It has a lot of drawbacks for double the cost. The size for starters makes it a lot less portable. The battery life is also worse. Plenty of consoles to play on a half price console thats more portable and lasts longer.

​@@HalfMonty11I agree that I find the price point a bit deceiving compared to a steam deck (which I have one and my little brothers play with it just fine, you obv can't play on the metro standing, but sit and it will be perfect still). So I'm a bit confused on this market still, but I will have to inform myself better, because I do miss some old games.

Switch got me into gaming again in early sobriety 4 years ago. About 2 years ago I got into the cloud and that made me find retro handhelds ironically. I said to myself. "How does anyone use one of these devices?" After a lot of hw and a lot of thanks to youtube I am now "ok" at it and just got s rp4 pro for my early birthday present. The ability to run a lot of roms, the way it runs android games, and with my love of the cloud, loving this thing way more than I thought. I love games and hate the word favorite, but this will be my most used device for sure. It is just TOO convenient for my crazy life, crazy kids, and sometimes crazy work hours. I am blown away at what this thing does compared to my s 23 ultra. Dno if it's the fan, or just the bloatware of flagships, but the rp4 cruises. It even makes my tidal sound better with my iems lol! So happy i purchased this.

Nice. If I hadn't already bought a used 3+ last month for 100usd, I'd consider this. However, my main issue with the Retroid is the screen size so if I was going to get another handheld it'd most likely be the Odin 2. I probably won't because [1] I have a steam deck and [2] a Galaxy fold 5, for which I just got a Gamesir G8.

It took this long to get ps2 to handheld, and we don't even have the right screen to play it on. Every single game on this thing will either have black bars, or an extra level of compatibility settings we shouldn't have to go through. God I wish they'd just make this in 4:3.

Thank you Taki for this deep dive on the Pocket 4 Pro. If it were any deeper people would confuse it with the Mariana Trench. It's obvious that a ton of work went into making this video. Unfortunately for me, I watched and commented under the First Look video a few days after it was published. I assume most of this video was already recorded by then because not a single one of my amazing game recommendations made the cut. Maybe I just have terrible taste in games? Ha. Anyways, the one I cared about most was/is "WRC: Rally Evolved" for the PS2. It was Sony and Evolution Studios' rally game swansong and by all accounts they went out on top. My current Snapdragon 845 powered LG phone, the best gaming anything I own at the moment, can't run it well at all. If the Pocket 4 Pro could run it full speed at 1X resolution that would help sell this system to me. Does anyone know how well it'll run here? A semi off topic question: My understanding is that all versions of the Pocket 3 and 4 series use third party iPhone 8/SE2/SE3 screens. Would a factory first party Apple screen be a plug-in-play upgrade for the Pockets 3 and 4? I'm asking because it's not that hard to find older mainline iPhones and newer SEs for sale dirt cheap that have good screens, but are otherwise inoperative. Or is this one of those things where even if it works it quite literally won't make a difference?

12W is a lot of power for something this small, but it seems to be fine as long as you keep the fan on high for PS2. Even with the fan maxed, it's possible for the CPU temps to go over 100c for a few titles.

Just watch them all. They all have something to add and and have different perspectives to their reviews, and are not always in agreement. Some have a methodology, or do a deep dive, others have something happening to their unit that doesn't happen to others. Personally i like to watch Taki Udon, Retro Game Corps, TechDweeb, The Phawx, and ETA Prime. At least two or three of them, to get a clear picture, other times, all of them, if i am in doubt about a certain piece of hardware.

​@00Resev I I watched all of those and more but I like Taki's take on things. His criticism can be hard for fan boys to swallow but that's what reviews are for. It's even more important when it comes to items shipping overseas because returns can be bad for both sellers and buyers when there are mismatch expectations.

Quick question Taki - hoping to hear back from you for some help on this one - can we use the same exact instructions for setup on the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro as you provided for the Retroid Pocket 2 + ? That was a REALLY great guide and it worked PERFECT for me on the 2 +. I just ordered thie 4 Pro and I am really hoping that I can use that same guide to get it going. Are you able to confirm if that guide is still valid for this device?

Hey Taki! Great video can’t wait to get my hands on my RP4 pro. Just a quick question with twilight princess on the GameCube you think with the right settings I’ll be able to play the entire game at a solid 30 fps with minimal skips and dips? Seeing you play it at hyrule with the cheat code and getting 19 fps really is a let down. I’m wondering because I’ve seen another video and they were getting 30 fps. You think there’s hope for that?
