It is. Xbox series s with retroarch and xbsx2 is absolutely the way for home entertainment system emulation.

That is certainly a music choice though I wish they'd gone all out and made it look like an old iPod ad because that music would fit one of those perfectly. Also don't see the point in that when the Retroid Pocket 3 exists and is more powerful for cheaper.

I think a lot of people still want smaller 4:3 devices with better N64/DC support. The RP3 is cool but I don’t care too much for having borders with literally everything I run on it.

What's annoying me is how they had started seeing the light wrt stacked shoulder buttons, but the 353m apparently will be ditching the idea?

Their absolute refusal to move away from the in-line shoulders is one of the most questionable things about the company.

Looks pretty much exactly like the rg351mp with 353 internals. The rg351mp is the only device I bought that I kinda consider a bad purchase... not a bad little machine if you really like boxy, and I know at least from the Discord that some people do seem to prefer it, but I'd still rather use the rgb10 max 2 or the rg353p. IMO this looks like a significant downgrade in usability/comfort for I guess a small benefit in pocketability.

It's me, I'm the guy who really likes these boxy metal handhelds.

I'm all in on the purple one. I skipped the 351MP because it just didn't seem like enough of an upgrade over the 350M, so this'll do me nicely.

It also sounded like he saw earlier prototypes he liked more and built that into his evaluation of the final product, when nobody else has that sort of context and doesn't care about What Could Have Been as long as the final product is worth the price on its own.

Got the RP3 yesterday and been playing around with it, it's a really solid nice feeling device. The default Retroid Launcher huffs nuts so I downloaded one called the RESET Collection which is way nicer and actually scrapes the box art correctly

Pegasus is nice but really grinds to a halt if you have full romsets, becomes unusably slow.

The author of Daijisho has suggested they’ll include support for pre-scraped images in the next version. That’s the main thing holding me back from using it full-time - the UI is great but it always misses a load of games when scraping. Which feels a waste when I have all the metadata pre-scraped right there with the ROMs. Sounds like it might just be “look in this folder for the boxart” rather than reading all the ES metadata but that will do me.

yeah i will say it probably gets only 90% of the art correct which whatever because the setup and ease of use for everything else in Daijisho definitely makes up for it

I'm a sucker for handhelds with clear plastic shells, and those purple and green options look nice, so my interest is piqued.

I think the Retroid Pocket 3 is in a good spot in terms of price and performance, but I don't know what an upgrade in the processor would actually bring to the device. I can't see it being improved enough so it starts doing PlayStation 2 or GameCube very well. It is very strange to release a new model so soon.

the early rumors of the processor upgrade was something near the d900 which would bring it up to the odin lite, i'm not sure that's still accurate as now i'm seeing in the discord T618 which i know nothing about

Russ posted a review of the 353M. Positive overall. Apparently it's smaller than the 351MP with hall-effect joysticks, wifi+bluetooth, and all the pluses we've seen from the 353s so far.

Been watching videos about the 3’s streaming ability and yeah, if the 3+ does halfway decent with PS2/GC on top of the streaming I’m gonna get it and ditch most of what I’ve got.

So I think at some point I’d had a grey 351V, purple RP2 and maybe even clear purple 353V I’d be letting go for cheap just to not be creating e-waste.

Are they fixing the location of the start/select buttons? That’s the only thing that kept me from getting the RP3. I got the RG503 instead which I’m perfectly happy with but still…new and shiny.
