Wait is that $15 on top of the $10 regular shipping?

Also this coupon code I got from a retro gaming discord saves $5

YEJJD

This code still works. Probably means I'm on another list but five dollars is five dollars!

News from Retroid:

-there is a delay with some of the new shell colors from batch two - 16bit US, RS1, RS2 orders haven't had a single unit ship yet. They've also delayed the Funtastic colors for a bit.

-Huawei done goofed on their chip supply, and seemingly aren't providing the allocation that was expected. Sounds like Retroid is trying to line up alternate suppliers to help fill the gap.

So if you ordered one in late August or the first two weeks of September and haven't gotten a ship notification yet, you might be waiting a while... they're currently sending out an Oprah-esque response of "you get two weeks! You get two weeks! Everybody gets two weeks!" To all inquiries right now.

Maaaaaaaan. :negative: Thank you for the update. I'm coming up a month after buying mine with no communication.

My Retroid 2 is coming on the 17th and I’m not sure what will hurt more, the anticipation after months of waiting or the disappointment when I discover that it’s fine.

It's pretty good.

However, I must be missing something very obvious since I haven't seen anyone so much as mention it as an issue: how do I charge this thing?

e: I am stupid! :v:

Anyone happen to have an easy guide or whatever to set a dedicated speedup button for Retroid P2 emulation? My patience has been eroded for how slow some of these old tactics games go.

So what's the best handheld under $200 at the moment? Also, is there any news on when the RP3 is hitting Amazon? Obviously Amazon is trash and Bezos can rot in hell etc etc but when I bought an original RP, the whole DHL shipping token system confused me.

RP2+ is $139 on Amazon. I'm still decently pleased with my RP2 vanilla so a + will probably suit you pretty well.

Do I still have to do the DHL shipping fill-the-freight song and dance with Retroid? I see that they just have DHL as a more expensive shipping option.

Remind me, is VBA-M or mGBA supposed to be the good one? Screwing around with Classicboy Pro since I'm antiRetroarch, and it seems like VBA-M can't run romhacks (which is like half the fun for me) so I'm leading toward the latter.

I kept up with this thread years ago but lost track: I bought a Retroid Pocket 2 back when they were preorder and rarely used it due to input lag. I'm seeing the 3 and 3+ ads. Is this still inherent in the Android setup or is it better? I like the d-pad location on top instead of bottom that was a complaint about he 2 it had awkward grip when using it. The same style stick on both sides seems like a big improvement. Opposite corners and one raised felt weird. I really like the design and would love a portable handheld and I want to like the 2.

Anyone have experience with input lag with 3 or 3+? It made some simple platforming take trial and error when to press instead of what feels natural from playing on console. Castlevania IV has those green platforms that spin and drop you after you jump on them and the section with three of those over a pit took a while to know when to press to just get past that part.

I was in your situation. Upgrading from RP2 to RP3+ was pretty huge.
