The 7th Guest posted:do you have the original odin, the lite or the new 2? Mine’s an original Odin Pro. The original Base, Pro and Lite were physically identical, but the new 2 has larger flared grips on the back. The originals do have shaped grips on the back which might not be clear from a 2D picture on retrosizer - it’s nothing like a full controller grip, far more subtle but it does help. It’s definitely smaller than a regular Switch but I’ve never held a Switch Lite to compare. I do find it a lot more comfortable than my Switch with regular joycons though - a lot of my recent play has been Switch games I could be playing on actual hardware rather than emulating.

Are they pay upfront preorders or pay when shipped preorders?

The latter when I bought my 3+ at least

This is the official guide for the project. https://wiki.switchroot.org/wiki/android/10-q-setup-guide However, if you’re just after emulators and such, you can just hack your Switch and play those on the emuNAND (it’ll make sense if you choose to go this route) or dual boot Android for Steam Link and then Horizon OS (the Switch OS) for everything else.

Note that you can only play like sonic mania on the switch emulators for android on Android for the switch

Fuuuuuuuuckkkkkk. Maybe I should email them about swapping my order to a 4 Pro. What was the time frame of when Pocket 3+ preorders going up to when they started shipping them?

11 days according to gmail e: also I think they took payment right away actually, I was mixing up an order

# ? Dec 16, 2023 10:21 |
So 11 days from preorder to when they started shipping? gently caress it, I've emailed them to see if I can swap to a Pocket 4 Pro if the turn around will be relatively quick. see-through purple RP3+

This is poor timing on my part but if anyone is interested in a RP 3+ in clurple send me a PM. I’m not sure what they go for now with the 4/Pro out but I got it earlier this year and never got it set up properly so it’s in pretty good shape.

Smart people are going to wait for the RP4+ Pro They can't fool me with the "oh we are releasing a Pro model so you don't think there will be a plus model in 4 months". I've been on this rodeo before.

I am holding out my Advanced War replay until 35xx+ SP is released. Burnt orange or yellow version. BTW I definitely need to speed up the pointless chattering cut scenes in Nintendo puzzle games.

I’ve got a 405v, an RP2S+ and an Analogue Pocket. Which is the easiest way to play a good beat em up? I’m thinking 2-4 players. Simpsons, x-men, stuff like that. My current controllers are an Xbox Hiro arcade stick, one of the new 8bitdo ones, a wireless switch pro bad and an 8bitdo snes pad. I really hope the answer is analogue pocket since I have the dock.

Definitely preordering a Retroid 4 Pro when it’s available. Will be the ultimate WiFi game streaming device + dc/ps2/gamecube emulator. There’s always something new and better on the horizon, but it will be a while before any other new consoles can be emulated on handheld hardware.

I have an RP2+ and use it never relative to my miyoo mini plus. I'm guessing the new RPs are probably not my bag and I should wait to scratch my purchasing itch until the miyoo flip comes out, right?

Grrr, going to have to carve out a $200-ish space in my budget at some point. I love my 35XX, but I've definitely got an itch of "wouldn't it be great to play [PS2/Saturn/Dreamcast/Gamecube game] without having to go and unbox the console and plug it into an old TV?" If it has proper Jaguar emulation as well rather than the 35XX's 1fps-if-lucky version, all the better.

Rinkles posted:any idea why? the vertical form factor? linux? The smaller form factor is nice, but I think the kicker for me was the fact that my RP2+ would always experience significant battery drain if I turned it off and didn't use it for like a week. When I do the same with the Miyoo it barely has a change in battery level when I pick it back up.

Yeah OK. I emailed them on the weekend about changing my order into a RP4 Pro and haven't heard back yet. 100% going to get them to change it if it's shipping in January.

beer gas canister posted:The emulator devices likely runOpenBoR, and Streets of Rage Remake is supported by Portmaster I'd never heard of OpenBoR until I got my first Anbernic but now it seems like everything supports it. Are there any OpenBoR projects generally considered to be must-haves, or is it a Zelda Classic kind of thing where it's basically just a novelty that occasionally manages to produce a few inspired moments amid a sea of overly limited and amateurish design?

Got a semi-engrish email back from sales stating the RP4 isn't out and to check back in 1-2 weeks. Anyone know if sales@goretroid.com is the best way to get in contact with them regarding my order? Or should I try the discord? Basically wanna cancel/get credit/moved over to a preorder.

Why not place another order of RP4P and cancel the RP4 order when the pro is shipped. Or get both and sell one you don't like when you get them. There is no guarantee the PS2 emulation is noticeably better.

This has some updated specs too, like the USB-C port being DP-C and outputting 1080p on the Pro and just being 720p over microHDMI on the regular. That's one of the things I really wanted because we really shouldn't be still having 720p on top end devices at this point. Also confirmation of hall sticks and analog triggers which'll make it way better as a streaming device. Now I know it has that I might actually get one because that's a lot of the issues I have with the 3+ fixed.
