    That's cheap considering it's US$199 + Delivery directly from Retroid.

    • Jaduqimon on 16/06/2024 - 12:35

      yep! cheaper than recent Rg556 deal and this has better specs except for the screen

      • Kangal on 16/06/2024 - 19:56

        For those wanting information, had one from Day Zero. In a nutshell, this is the largest size device I would accept as pocketable. It is noticeable and a bit uncomfortable, but definitely fits-decently into a standard sized jeans pockets.

        And for that category, this is the FASTEST device that you can buy. It is also the most ERGONOMIC device you can buy.

          The Sony PS Vita Slim is a little better in the hand and pocket, but it is way too old and slow. That is more like a 2022 RP3 (non-plus) level of device. The Anbernic RG 405M is good, but only equal/worse than the 2023 RP3+. The 2025 AYN Odin Mini is better in almost every way, except PRICE and SIZE. I would hesitate to call it pocketable, because it is close to the 2018 GPD Win-1 in size which was a fatboy. The 2024 GPD Win-Mini which people called pocketable is definitely NOT, it is just way too bulky, it juts out, and is very uncomfortable. So you would HAVE TO bring a backpack if you want to take it with you, at which point, you may as well get something else. The same sentiments with the AYN Odin Mini, get something smaller, or get something larger, don't stay in the compromising territory.

          Keychain devices:
          RG Nano

          Pocketable devices:
          new3DS, PS Vita Slim
          RG 3xxxH+, RG 405M, RP2S, RP4P

          Portable devices:
          AYN Odin2, SteamDeck, VSD OLED, ASUS ROG, AllyX, etc etc.

      • Wonderfool on 16/06/2024 - 14:01

        Yes, actually. That's it's intended purposes.

        We were hoping for switch emulation once that gets more optimised, but then the Yuzu Nintendo thing happened.

        • smartazz104 on 16/06/2024 - 14:23

          Didn't Yuzu get taken down because they were taking Patreon money for the emulator?

          • soymeat on 16/06/2024 - 15:38

            @smartazz104: Only Nintendo would know the reasoning and thinking behind the scenes. But I'm pretty sure it's a safe bet that it was a hot target because: a) there was money involved, and b) it was enabling emulation for their current-gen console, and therefore easy to argue it was impacting their sales.

            +3

            @smartazz104: From some of the videos I've seen, I think the real trigger point was they were allowing emulation for the new Zelda before it was even out. That's what made them a big target.

      • Zylam Marex on 16/06/2024 - 16:08

        I don't think all PS2 games run on it.

        • Wonderfool on 16/06/2024 - 16:26
          +1

          It should. The d1100 should be able to run most games at 3X. Even harder games at 2x. Usually, it's an aethersx2 optimisation issue.

        • Orion au on 16/06/2024 - 17:15
          +1

          All that holds it back is a stagnant emulator, not the machine

            -1

            @Orion au: Yeah I'm sure the hardware is powerful enough but with AethersX2 development stopped and the fork NethersX2 being community driven rather then a developer working in it, as of right now the answer to the Pocket 4 Pro being able to run all PS2 games is no. I'd love for it to be able to as this is the only thing holding me back from it.

            • Orion au on 16/06/2024 - 23:26
              +1

              @Zylam Marex: Yeah you're right, the answer is no to that specific point.

              However, the vast majority do run. I haven't been disappointed yet. Its not worth letting it hold you back unless you specifically know the games you want to play won't run.

              • Zylam Marex on 17/06/2024 - 00:12

                @Orion au: Yeah, you are right, it's still a banger of a device and I am on the fence about it. It's also the Vita looking Odin 2 Mini that's got my eye purely because of my love for the Vita and the memories it brings. Much more pricy but with better hardware and nostalgia value.

      • Orion au on 16/06/2024 - 17:14

        Yep. With ease, at higher than native resolutions.

          This is way more powerful than trimui. On emulation alone trimui can't even play the full N64 library. This can go up to 90% ps2 and even some switch games.

          This also runs android so you can play android games on it too and also can stream from PC. Feature wise it's way beyond trimui.

          Of course the trimui is very good in its own accord but this is like at least 2 tiers above

          • theguyrules on 16/06/2024 - 14:04

            @Jaduqimon: You can stream PC from the TrimUI fyi. But no R3/L3 makes it hard

          • Benjamin7711 on 16/06/2024 - 16:07

            @Jaduqimon: What's the process like for switch games? Are there pretty readily available/stable switch emulators?

          Ermm this has been able to play PS2/GC since release. I think you've found unreliable reviews, or you've mistaken the machine.

      • ghoulie1 on 17/06/2024 - 08:40

        It also does XBox game streaming which is pretty cool for Halo on the go.

    • straustea on 16/06/2024 - 13:50

      It can play the PS2 generation of games more or less. The controls, screen, ergonomics and overall specs are a big step up over the Trimui. Ultimately it comes down to what games you want to play.

    • The Value on 16/06/2024 - 15:25

      Trimui is great value but it can't run PSP at 2x.

      Nah. There's no market for it.

      You can just buy this and plug it into your tv, and control it with a controller. Kind of like using your Xbox as your media centre.

      Alternatively, you can buy an series S. More powerful, and I've seen it for as cheap as $280 used.

      Or just buy a pc with a regular i5 8500 (nonT) and just turn that into a media box through Linux

      • SeanConnery on 16/06/2024 - 21:31

        You have to use the app only (allows to apply more coins compared to desktop website). What I usually do is add the item to cart, then straight away go to the Coins section and the item usually is there. If you see it, then checkout immediately because it can disappear the next time you go back to the coins section. For example, right now, the Anbernic RG556 keeps showing in my Coins section allowing me to apply 1073 coins (about $16) instead of on the desktop website only allow 360 coins.

  • bchliu on 16/06/2024 - 14:32

    hmm.. It's a good deal.. but I'm still waiting for my R36S refund after jumping hoops and having to pay out of pocket to send it back to China for cuteliving etc etc. But then again, I've got a Note 20 Ultra with Gamesir G8 that should be at least as good in performance as this so maybe need to skip this.

      Not "better", just options, good to have options.

      Some people like the option to keep their phone and game as separate devices. A fan also helps keep from throttling when running more demanding stuff.

    • Wonderfool on 16/06/2024 - 17:03
      +8

      I've originally had that mind set as well.

      However, handhelds are way better.

      1) most telescopic controllers out there are straight A garbage. I think it market has improved since the Kishi was the best in the market, but holy shit was the Kishi terrible, and it costed double the price of equivalent regular controllers.

      2) the ergonomics are often nowhere near as nice. It's usually wobby, it's usually much longer like you're holding a scroll, it's usually heavier, the buttons usually feels more squished together, and most importantly, aside from the Kishi, which is straight A garbage thanks to the small form factor, they never fit in your pocket. So they're terrible for toilet gaming sessions.

      3) phones are simply not very well designed for gaming. You can customise the phone to have a console like front end, but that's the limit. The UI and interfacing will still be clunky, and won't come with extra features like quick resume. you'll find that the phone is way too bloody long with a huge waste of screen space thanks to the 21:9 form factor. You'll also find that the phone are constantly over heating, even on the higher end, due to phone needing to fit far more sensors and cameras inside, and less cooling. Plus, just simply needing to attach the controller every time you game is far more work than to just press the play button.

      So why not just spend the $240? You're not going to find new phones with a D1100 at that price.

          Hmm indeed
          Its a great device but the l2/r2 triggers are problematic
          I have one directly from retroid and im on my 4th backplate all of which covered by retroid
          Mind you i dont use it that often and it is kept in hardcase but yeah 4 sets of l2/r2 triggers in 4 months isnt good, however one of the trigger/backplates they sent was DOA as device wouldnt recognise button inputs from it
          Even though dealing with Retroid has been simple enough but the last time i contacted regarding the issue the customer agent even told me "again?" and requested to send them footage all the 3 faulty triggers
          The issue is with r2 trigger, for me at least

          So not sure how dealong with aliexpress seller is going to be compared to dealing directly with retroid for warranty issues

          • jlogic on 16/06/2024 - 17:03

            @ZR6: It will be definitely be more a pain in the ass. They will more than likely give you a partial refund and tell you to sort it out and then after 90 days you are on your own.

              @designate: Reddit says yes. I don't have this though as I went with an Odin 2 when I was tossing between the 2.

              Don't get this for vita though, vita emulation is still early. Almost everything I was interested doesn't work and many of the indie games are available on the switch.
