I just got mine last week and love it. I've had a lot of these emulator handhelds so far and its form factor and promise for Android 8 is awesome. Something to note is that it plays DS games on the Drastic emulator pretty well too. I've mapped the R trigger to switch screens, in case anyone was curious. I've only tested HeartGold on it so far, and its running pretty great.

After having mine for a couple weeks, I've come to this conclusion: it's a fantastic device, BUT you have to wrestle it into submission and adjust a lot of settings to get the most out of it. Hell, I even flashed their Android 8 beta on it, that OS version runs a looot smoother than 6 and handles some emulators a whole lot better too. I'm only now at a point where I can finally enjoy the Retroid Pocket 2 to its fullest extent - after having it for almost two weeks and hunting down solutions and hacks online. Whether or not that's worth it is a different discussion entirely and a very personal matter of taste to boost. I happen to like tinkering, so that aspect didn't bother me too much, I just wish it wasn't as necessary as I feel it is

Update. They sent me a new screen. There weren't any instructions on how to replace it, but I managed with my limited cell phone repair knowledge. Basically they sent me the top shell that contained the new screen, buttons, and full front face. The back comes off first and everything needs to be moved from the old broken one to the new one. I managed to replace it in about an hour. My two recommendations are don't force anything that doesn't seem to want to move and also check the buttons click before you continue screwing parts in because you don't want to close the whole thing up and then find out that you misaligned a shoulder button.

I'm getting one for Christmas as I don't have any real way to play any retro games (or many games at all) when I leave home. I have a beefy PC but I've never really like playing older games on it, and the idea of having these old games on the go has always appealed to me. The main reason I decided on this over the 350 (or even the 351 that I recently heard about) is mostly due to various points made in the video. The size is pretty good for what I want, and I personally prefer the joystick layout on the pocket 2 as I mostly grew up playing on Xbox controllers so I'm used to that style a lot more. When I found out it runs most N64 games pretty good I was pretty much sold on it. I didn't know it could run Dreamcast games (even if not too great), but if it's a software issue than I'm sure that may be improved in the future. I decided to get the indigo one as the first Game Boy I owned was a purple GBA, so it feels a bit nostalgic. Even though I do own a DS and can play GBA games just fine as it is, I feel like I'd use this kind of device more as I have access to a wider library of games that I can't play well when out of town.

But like always all the downsides make it not worth the purchase when I already have a flashcarts and hacked 3ds and PSPs. The n64 and dreamcast emulations are never good enougn for me. Ah well still seems pretty cool for people don't have all their old sony and nintendo portables hacked already.

I have had this thing for a while now. I 100% agree with everything you stated in this video. My only real gripe are the way the dpad feels and when you run games on the Retriod OS (you have to install it from the toolbox app first. It has a much better U.I) the games have input lag and are miss named (but again a better U.I). It is overall not seamless, but the price point is what makes it a winner (especially with both HDMI out and bluetooth). At this point; it makes me wish Nintendo would just go of their way to secure a deal to put all retro console and arcade from 2000 and below; on the eshop (including movie, cartoon and comic based games like TMNT, X-Men, ect). After playing with these handhelds from China; it makes me want these games officially on the Switch as it would be way more convenient and I wouldn't have to research and buy these kind of things (provided that Nintendo also stops being lazy and give us all screen and filter options, while maintaining performance). Seriously; the way they went after rom sites; one would think they had some sort of plan to secure all the best retro games. It would certainly beat the resurgence of retro console devices and be less clutter to a home; if everything was just on the Switch.

Question: 1) 10:00 to 10:20 -- You transferred the ROMs under the "RetroidOS Folder", to the "Roms Folder under RetroArch"? Or you transferred ROMs from outside (and into the Mirco SD Card)? 2) From what I gather and understand, the RP2 Unit/Micro SD Card comes with pre-loaded ROMs; however, said ROMs were encrypted(?) and can only be read and run under the RetroidOS. 3) If item #2 is indeed the case, then one would need to load ROMs into the ROM Folder under RetroArch. That is, the RP2 out of the box, the RetroArch "comes with zero playable games"(?). Apologies if I misunderstood and made mistakes. I am not tech savvy =[

Hey Bob! Don't know if you'll see this but there is a relatively simple way of turning android's UI suitable for this type of machine, they are called frontends. They are launchers like Nova Launcher if you have used it before but since you said you were an Iphone guy before... Anyway my favorite channel for these types of things is ETA Prime he has tutorials for many android frontends I recommend you check them out. After setting them up the experience becomes 10 times better, and if you don't like one you can always choose another. Hope this helps!

Was actually kinda cool to see that you had most of the same complaints that I had about this thing. I REALLY hope someone finds a replacement for the top portion of the right stick, one that can be just dropped right in, because the top part of the stick rubs against the shell and makes the movement not good at all. I noticed though that if you remove the top of the stick, the analog stick itself DOES in fact move fluidly. It's the top piece that's the problem. I actually emailed the creators of the unit about this issue and they basically told me oh well, too bad. Their customer service is pretty lacking I must say. I also didn't find the unit very comfortable to hold, specially when trying to use the L2/R2 buttons. They feel awkward to me. I would actually prefer it if they weren't extended/stuck out from the back shell like they are, cus this seems to make them even less comfortable to use imo. I kind of doubt that this thing went through much testing while they were designing it. They likely just designed it in CAD or whatever software they use and that was probably that.

They problem is the price of the hardware. For the next 5 years i doubt you can get enough power to run GC smoothly for 80$. Gamecube needs a x64 CPU while these devices have ARM. There are ARM-CPUs that can run GB but they dont run flawless (the Radpberry Pi 4 is such an example). Normally a company tries to keep the item's price as low as possible so that many people could buy it.

Under development how? I dont know much about it but I thought it was finished well before samus returns came out on 3ds in 2017?

I'm still convinced that the piboy dmg is a better handheld than the rp2. Unified interface for all emus (ES/retroarch), very good screen, very good perfs with a rpi4, and hdmi output. But of course It's a lot more expensive than the rp2... It may however be the ultimate retro handheld.

If the connection is good, it is fine. I wouldn't play big AAA titles but if you want to play retro-style steam games, especially pixel graphics style games it seems fine. It is like any other SteamLink wifi experiences, really.

Hey Bob, the retroidos is pretty cool, would be great for a noob who doesn't wanna tinker with settings etc. Go to tools in the app drawer > install retroid pocket app

one of the best parts about the retroid is getting to tinker with it and make it work the way you want it. only thing i dislike is the dpad.

When you say the plastic variant of the rg350 “defeats the purpose” what do you mean? What purpose? Seems it makes for a more apt comparison if price point was a major recommendation point for the retroid pocket 2.

Thought the same thing. The purpose is the play games, at a price point.

I guess because one of the selling points of the 350 is it's aluminum body, so buying a plastic one means you might as well buy a Retroid Pocket 2 anyway.

Have you done a review of the PiBoy DMG? If not, you should. I've been thinking about getting one, but I just haven't pulled the trigger because whenever I think about getting one, I remember that I mostly want this for traveling, and who knows when the next time I'll be traveling will be. And also, I'm pretty sure my phone can run anything a Raspberry Pi can and more. So do I really need this? Or should I just buy a dock and a 8bitdo controller?

I'd suggest trying ReDream for Dreamcast emulation unless that was one of the ones you tried that didn't work. Appreciate the review. I'm holding off getting a handheld emulator console until PSP emulation is almost 100%.

Yeah as of now, due to the outdated android system it's running (I think android 5 marshmallow or lollipop) it's not able to get redream. I heard there was going to be a update to put it at android 8, but we wait and see.

The N64 emulator that I use is the M64Plus FZ emulator, one of the best emulators I have used for an Android device and for an Acer Chromebook model and it works perfectly well with a bluethoot controller, you just need to change the sensitivity of the controls to work correctly and you just assign buttons and that's it and most games work fine, there are some minor glitches like missing textures in oot, but some games are really slow like super smash brothers for me, but if that happens you can change the emulation, so that it works perfectly. 10/10

I’ve had my RP2 for about 2 months now and it is amazing. It’s not perfect, but it’s the best handheld out currently with a great price. Honestly I have always been skeptical of the Chinese handheld market, but this device definitely blew my expectations.

Yes chinese companies are really improving. Of course there are still many low quality handhelds but they get better every year. Beside that the Nintendo Switch is also not perfect ;) you know, the Joycon drift...

I'm happy with my RG350P. At the rate these consoles are released, I'm holding out until there is one that actually plays N64, Dreamcast and PSP at close to perfect levels. There's also the RG351P that just came out but it's another RK3326 clone and won't perform as well when it comes to N64, Dreamcast and PSP. Can't wait to see what we get in the next few months lol

The right stick isn't an analog stick, more like a d-pad with a stick on top and no L3 or R3. Only one SD card slot. Screen apparently breaks very easily.
