@@Zantagor no that's not it. There is some drama going on between retroid and taki. They're actually shipping half of RP3s with bad screens. Ceck his video on the subject. You should not have to roll a dice and pray to have a proper screen when you paid more than a hundred dollars for a product. They're shady as f*, even though I love my RP2+. Ask anybody on the official retroid discord they will tell you how many times they actually lied to us on updates, system parts, customer support, shipping etc.

[@MrCed122]

I was really close to buying it when the preorders began, all my infos were entered and I only needed to confirm and... I didn't. I already have a Pocket 2 and Pocket 2+ (the Upgrade Kit to be more specific) and while the price is really fair for what you get, paying almost $200 CAD for what is essentially the same handheld I already have with a bigger screen was tough sell, especially since we'll probably get a Pocket 3+ in a few months. The screen resolution is also really weird, it can't scale anything cleanly, you'll get black bars or non-integer scaling on every consoles. If that came out at the same time as the Pocket 2+ like it was supposed to, it would've been a no-brainer, but with so much more competition like the RG353P, the "incoming" Ayn Loki Zero and the Odin Lite (which, granted, isn't readily available yet), it's in a weird spot where you can get basically the same for cheaper and a lot better for not that much more. It's a good middle ground if you're getting into the scene, but for the others, it doesn't make much sense. Instead of that, I bought an RG351V on sale for $110 CAD to replace my RG351P and I'll wait for the next Retroid Pocket that will hopefully be able to play more Android games and PS2/GC for real (or buy the Miyoo P60 if that thing ever come out). I also set up my old Huawei P20 with a Razer Kishi, it works fine, the only problem is it doesn't have the best GPU, so PS2 / GC is still kinda difficult and the battery life is kinda atrocious.

[@QORXamq]

Where did you buy it?

[@GohanSSJII]

can you tell me where did you buy RG-351V ?

[@tynao2029]

RP2+ is better anyway because of the analog setup

[@matrixkitty]

@wulff : the parts in the box are actually conductive rubber replacements. The Pocket 3 had the dome switches already installed.

[@voteDC]

The included Dolphin for Handhelds and the latest version of AetherSX2 let you lower the resolution below 1x. This can make games playable but you will be compromising visuals. Many PS2 titles end up looking like PS1 games but you can still enjoy them. I do find it funny that the Retroid Pocket 3 was made before the Retroid Pocket 2+. Makes you wonder if the fix for the RP3 screen issues was so simple why didn't they just fix it and release it. Surely that would have been no more expensive than creating the RP2+.

[@elemkay5104]

There have been massive improvements to AetherSX2. One game that got tested last year on RP2+ (Godhand) getting like 3-5 fps, is now running 20+ fps at full resolution and is fully playable. But for sure you can also drop the resolution for more demanding games.

I feel it's worth bringing up that with some settings experimentation and using PAL roms, you can get *some* Gamecube games to run decently well. But the quality you get varies from game to game, so it's only worth doing either for the games that are known to be able to get playable or if you find experimenting fun for any reason.

i think miyo mini v2 is a good start to retro world ...its a perfect size fits in pocket with good coverage on emulation....price is good 50 to 65 dolars , screen looks good, key and build quality is amazing and with and without onion os is amazing and you can play it out of box ...

[@StevenTNorris]

For the Dolphin stuff, you have to manually set the bundle (slightly different than the pre-set one that you can auto-download). I had to do it on the RP2+. It is disappointing to hear it doesn't play things much better than the RP2+ though. The chip upgrade had me hopeful.

[@slick6227]

Not to mention, the specs are basically the exact same as the previous Retroid system and THAT system was $20 to $30 less than the Pocket 3. Honestly, I think it might be better for me to just wait on the Pocket 3+ maybe and see what they do with that.

Tho if one has a 2+ than your correct that they wouldn't gain value from getting the 3. I believe that they probably already have the upgraded SOC for these things tho!

[@venoshockk]

This might be the one that gets me to buy a larger portable emulator. I have the Retroid Pocket Go, which I love, but it's basically just a GBA emulator for me and I think I want something a little beefier. The Switch Lite-esque form factor is really selling me

[@HasanBabasi]

Im really happy about the growing market of hand Helds. It really excites me, I hope more companies use the native method of analogue.

[@TheGelatinousSnake]

For a Hundred ish… pretty decent entry level handheld. But a homebrew PSP or Vita gives you all the games on those consoles plus emulates all the classic Nintendo games pre N64. GameBoy Advance games are especially beautiful on the larger illuminated displays. Always keep an eye out for a used PSP or Vita.

[@bland9876]

As someone who use to use an NFL PS2 controller having start and select on top is normal for me. Also the home button was on the bottom like where the frequency knob is on a wave bird.

It does look better than the older ones. I have the Anbernic RG351MP which brought me a lot of joy until I got the Steam Deck. But having one of these is fun to throw in the backpack and play on the go.

I think you should throw the SteamDeck in your backpack instead. Get your RG351p, RGB10 Max1, RP2+, RP3 or PS Vita Slim, instead to carry in your pocket "on the go".

[@bennbutters2578]

Other than my LB being stuck when it got here, this is everything I’ve wanted. It’s much more comfortable to me than the 2+ and the screen makes it far better for game streaming along with L3 and R3, it’s perfect and they didn’t charge 240 for it like some other company’s would

Gonna be a while at this price range. But if you want to blow the smallest amount of money on the widest range of playable systems, go for a Miyoo Mini. I love mine more than my Retroid Pocket 2+. The RP2+ was almost unusable for me until I found a different front-end launcher (Daijisho) and broke in the rubber buttons a bit. Otherwise, I was dealing with constant crashes and a set of buttons that wore my hands out because it required a pound of pressure from my thumb to do a running jump in any game I was playing. The Miyoo barely required any config and let me pick-up-and-play far, far easier than the RP2+ ever has let me.

@@robwaters8848 Honestly it’s quite a delightful device. I have small hands and it is still a bit cramped on the ergonomics but the software is very easy to put on the sd card and I quite enjoy it. The retroid pocket was a very tedious process to add all my games and get my box set up and running and navigating around the games library isn’t at easy. I take the Miyoo mini every time I go out cause the footprint is so small and I often play for anywhere between 10 minutes to an hour and it’s good :) I plug it in a for a quick charge every few days or so and I’m good to go :D the screen is quite nice. I just watched my retro game corp tutorial to set it up.

I went with the way less powerful, RG 353P as my next upgrade from the RG350M I was playing with. TOTALLY worth it. 3 storage locations, dual boot OS, and can play up to PS1 well. I know not great. Can do some dreamcast oh and N64 plays pretty well too. But that SNES controller form factor is nice and android is meh on it. I'm an android user for phones and tablets.

[@GeekTherapyRadio]

I have the 2+ and ordered the 3 last night. The 2+ is spectacular for $100. My only two nit-picks are with the screen. It is absolutely perfect for 8 bit games and even 16 bit, but it is brutally small for anything high-res. Forget about cloud gaming unless hooked up to an external monitor. The screen is unmercifully small for ultra small text, menus, icons, etc in modern games. It is punishing to try and squint at hi-res games on the 3.5" screen. Again...for retro consoles with big blocky pixels, it's perfect. The second nit-pick is that the screen doesn't dim NEARLY enough. It is torture trying to play in bed or a dimly lit room. The lowest brightness is still blinding in the dark. That coupled with trying to play hi-res games...it's a nightmare. Again, outstanding for low-res games in a normally lit environment. I'm hoping the Pocket 3 with its larger screen will make hi-res gaming much more palatable, and if it actually dims properly, that'd be icing on the cake.

[@GeekTherapyRadio]

@@papa_NCF Great to hear!!!

[@TDAdvocate]

Honestly my personal daily driver for emulation is the New 3DS XL. Still looking into how plausible the Steam Deck is for more modern console emulation. But for now, the N3DSXL is by far the best of the best in my personal opinion.

[@RandomizationShow]

I use steam deck, a snapdragon phone and an old 2DS over my N3DS due to being the most comfortable handheld on earth. For 16 bit games and below I'll never use anything but the 3DS due to my injects via NSUI having non-existent input lag. May be old but still a champ!

[@RandomizationShow]

Also I assume u mean 360/PS3 emulation for steam deck. Some games will work pretty well but I've noticed every game from that era I've been interested in has had a PC port (vast majority of them at least) and steam deck will pretty much play any 2007-16 game, sometimes with graphics/performance tweaks. Though if it isn't supported by the deck itself you can dualboot into windows and play that way.

[@FlailinMonkey]

The retroid pocket 3 looks nice, I like the form factor, but the volume button on the side and start/select button locations are a deal breaker for me. The quality control issues surrounding it are also a huge factor in purchase consideration.

[@tynao2029]

also the analogs are in the wrong spot. RP2 is still better

[@Yup712]

Couldn’t find a Steam Deck so got a Samsung S8 Plus tablet with the SnapDragon 8 chip. It can emulate PS2, GameCube & Wii (about 80% of GC & Wii games well so far. All with some fps & performance drops), 3DS, and everything below. Including Sega Saturn. Until I get a Steam Deck, it’s my emulation platform of choice. Plus, with a USB-C to USB-B 3.0 adapter, you can hook up pretty much any USB device, like external hard drives, keyboards, etc.

While leaving my main system alone. This just works better to me. The button placement doesn’t bother me so much since I just need something that can easily play older DS games and it has a little bigger of a screen which I like. 8/10 this is gonna be my new emulator. I’ll still keep my RP2. But it just won’t be used. As often

@@GeneralChaz9 that’s the one I have, but the design was introduced with the RP2.

[@KelmoMusic]

I want one that plays windwaker, my anbernic is good enough for now

[@KyleRuggles]

Not bad at all! Streams well too, but I already got an Odin so... but if I didn't? I'd highly think bout getting this. But there's sooo many that are coming out now, it's insane! Curious bout the battery life though, how long can you game with.. Dreamcast?

Oh wow the volume and start button are a pretty serious factor to consider. Can't help but think "modified phones" :')

[@danwichgames]

I don’t know looks like I will be happier with my ayn Odin lite coming in a few days. My interest is a lot more in the psx and ps2 category

[@TakoiKadoozle]

Same. Is it so bad that I want to play all of Kingdom Hearts 1 and 2 on a small formfactor? The Odin is a better option.

[@danwichgames]

@@TakoiKadoozle I totally get that.

[@ferndog94able]

I had the retroid pocket 2 and it was great but I couldn’t save any games save states. Could you do save states now?

[@HoffScoff]

I’m looking to get one of these pocket emulators and I’m debating between this and the powkiddy rbg20 I don’t know much about these is this one playable out of box or do I need to use a computer to download roms

[@NightRanma]

I would say from the box your system came in you probably didn't get just a random rp3 anyone else may have received. Mine came in a much more professional looking white box with retroid branding (but also a manual that had stickers correcting "digital stick" to "analog stick" lol)

[@mpeckablebass]

Also I really don't know if it's accurate, but the delivery dashboard on the Retroid site still has the shipping date pushing back daily for that particular model, so that's interesting that he already has one. I ordered the same one and have yet to receive a shipping notice, maybe I'm just unlucky lol

[@DamfinoMR2]

Absolutely loving my RP3 3gb!

*New handheld emulator comes out* Wulffdenn: how many times do We have to keep teaching you this lesson old man?!

[@leefamily5986]

The retro handheld market is bizarre. This is one of the most bizarre to me, I have Taki Udon telling me this isn't a good one and he skipped it and now I have Bob Wulff telling me it's great.... What the hell do I do in this situation???

[@zray1324]

It’s good until you know that the Rp2+ is getting Android 11 patch soon.

[@danielmcphee2546]

Would you recommend something like this for someone who doesn't know anything about emulators? Or perhaps something better and user friendly?

[@blingingjak1]

Any thoughts on the Miyoo Mini? Crazy portability, good custom firmware and stock is good too, community is even making custom buttons

[@MrRamazanLale2]

RG280V for the win

[@erickalvarez6486]

Me: interested Wulff: runs on android Me: then it's a freaking phone.

[@voidseaker]

between getting a phone specifically for this, modding a 2ds, or getting this which do you feel to be easier/better overall

[@Gallotti]

Mod a vita

[@NeonPixels81]

Adding a second to modding a Vita. The Vita is probably the best handheld Nintendo should have made but didn't. Barring that, there's nothing like playing on original hardware. I like the Vita because it has solid hardware and a loooooong battery life. Vita can play MOST Nintendo consoles but anything with Mode7 tends to chug, so for those games I prefer to go to my 2DS LL. I have the Black/Blue 2DS LL modded and loaded up with games (digital versions of games I own) and it's a dream. The only benefit to a dedicated emulation machine is that you don't have to do any legwork yourself on modding a device, but the original hardware is almost always a more satisfying experience.

[@trashpanda502]

@@Gallotti No its buggy and the vitas library is so small

[@jesusbarrera6916]

phone.... it's going to be the most versatile and powerful

[@Andrew-ww1hz]

You have a really nice house!

[@Blackbird9070]

Bob, I blame you and Russ for hooking me on these handhelds. I have 5 handheld consoles as is and now want this too.

[@Niborino9409]

I totally skipped on Retroid Pocket 3 or 2+ for that matter after Taki Udon's video. However your 3DS video made me homebrew my 2DS XL and go and buy a used wedge shaped 2DS. Loving it! Edit: I sold the Wedge 2DS and barely use my 2DS XL now. I did however order the Retroid Pocket 3+. So here's hoping it will be good!

[@thereisonlycis3566]

D-pad on top for platformers is godly.

[@Me-23158]

On the website it says it’s a preorder shipping in August. Do they mean August 23’? Or is this an old message from before August 22’?

[@BookOfSaints]

Can you get rid of the vertical white bar on the right side of the screen?

[@snewsnew12]

@WulffDen hey Bob you should install some "Clicky" BUTTons on the Pocket 3. I think you might like it better, or even swap out the shell for a metal one 😁

[@VexTrooper]

There's so many reviews for the RP3, and that'd cool and all, but I would REALLY like to see someone out there make a Beginner start up guide for it, like step 1: How to add roms to the damn thing.

[@cd2220]

You can probably just follow an RP2+ guide honestly

[@valentds]

create backups from your original games, duh

[@raianf]

That's coz RP3 is the same device as RP2+ just with a different form factor and there are detailed setup guides for the RP2+ already.

[@joabfariasgmail]

There is some controversy around this device. To anyone willing to buy one, I recommend watching other videos. They could have sent a very good device to Wulf Den and end up sending a defective device to others buyers.

[@Crawmeraxew]

definitely recommend checking out Taki Udon's video on why he didnt cover this device. Covers all the controversies and issues in just 10min

[@rvreqTheSheepo]

Most interesting is lack of answers from Retroid to either confirm or deny that

[@pranze3484]

Someone rushed to post a comment without watching the video

[@Alon456]

Exactly why I'm very undecided whether should I buy this device or not. I think it is a nice step forward from my RG351P but there are some shady stuff surrounding the release of this device.

[@brutalhonesty07]

Good on Wulffden Bob to talk about to mention Taki Udon. I respect both creator and reviewers here.
