Is there a good rp2+ setup guide somewhere? The Dreamcast emulator seems to wanna operate on touchscreen controls only.

Retro Game Corps did a 2-part guide on the RP2+. The second part goes into specific systems, Dreamcast included.

Why run Windows on the Steam Deck when you can run it on the Odin?

Note that Windows 11 on the Odin will not be fast enough to run Metroid Prime Hack - for that you'd need a Steam Deck or Aya Neo anyway...

I'm just under a week behind you on the RP2+. They're going to miss that 37 day estimate by quite a bit. If I get it by the summer I'll be happy. I wouldn't have had much time to pay with it before then anyways.

There’s a reason he shows off Wind Waker, it runs smooooth now. I upped it from the new default of .5 to .6 and I still get very close to a rock solid 30fps.

the rg351p has been cool. i wish n64 emulation wasn't a shitshow but i can at least play banjo kazooie. and certainly there's plenty of other systems that run fine so i'll just stick to what works best on it

:yeah: I've had a blast with the 351p for the last couple of months, it's great. I see why people have more than one though, a larger screen for SotN and other home consoles would be nice. Hopefully the Steam Deck pushes these companies to keep innovating

Ask me about my XCOM and controller collection

word.

I read a reddit thread asking about when people's Polymegas are expected to arrive and they were using some logic by which the company said something around "people who order now will get theirs in the 2nd half of 2022" :pseudo: therefore everyone who ordered before then will get theirs by June... I don't know if I buy that logic and I expect (those of us with 2021 orders) still fall into 2nd half 2022. Anyone get theirs yet? The company seems quiet lately.

as it stands it seems like the rg552 is more trying to chase the Pocket 2+, and i wouldn't be surprised if there are a few 552 variants like the 350/351 got

anyway. i know the joke about homebrewers is they load a bunch of roms on their device and then never use it, but i've already beaten 4 games on mine (OFF, Nebs n Debs, The Lost Night, Celeste Classic 2) and I'm going to actually play/beat some JRPGs on it. having FFWD for ps1 emulation makes a big difference in me playing through something like Persona 2. and being able to play Adventure Game Studios games on it is kind of counterintuitive but neat at the same time, so I might use it for whatever Wadjet Eye's next game is

Has anyone found any other codes? I think some of them are reusable, I found one for $5 which was the name of a directory but people talk about 10-20 ones being common in the comments but I can’t even find any used codes, I’m not good at hunting but want a discount!

tried out the Dolphin Gamecube emulator on my retroid rp2+. Animations and audio got real janky during the Super Robot Wars GC cutscenes. It doesn't feel ready to go just yet. It was easy enough to configure, however.

I followed them and Burning Rangers still runs like poo poo on mine, so I think the game just doesn't agree with the console. I think every other saturn game I've tried has been just fine, though?

i ultimately went with the rg351p because the RP2+ seemed like it was gonna take a while to ship. like the website still says 'preorder' and that deliveries will take 35 days before even starting to ship. the anbernic got to me within just 4 days

That estimate is probably grossly understated at this point to boot. Between Chinese New Year and the occasional lockdowns they’re just now shipping orders from the first half of January.

The RP2+ is pretty loving good for the price but I’m glad I bought the RG351MP first so I haven’t been *waiting* for it and had something to play with.

Yeah that jives with what that one lady was saying about it. Tbh that’s pretty much how I use my Aya Neo anyway.

I saw a video on 3ds emulation on the deck and it was ok but not as good as I thought it would be. I have to assume the emulator needs some work.

3DS emulation in general just seems to be super intensive right now.

I think the main 3DS emulator, Citra, is still in the "making sure games work" stage as opposed to the "optimization so people can actually run it" stage.

Ah ok. Well some of the games run pretty good and he did mention shader compilations with some of the shudders.

I’m sure the deck is powerful enough for it once they get things nailed down.

Pretty significant delays with Ayn Odin shipping :( I think I’m going to cancel my order. I already have a 351p and a new 3ds so I don’t necessarily need one, I just thought it was a neat idea. Plus I’m moving to another state soon and it definitely wouldn’t get to me in time.
