New info about the folding retroid, guess the sticks click in and are Hall effect

Wish they would have done more with the extra space they have like add a C and a Z button or something.

The steam deck is on sale and $360 is a hell of a value



I wish I could borrow someones deck for thirty minutes. does valve have a good return policy? My hands are small enough that even using those hori switch cons give me cramps but standard joy cons are just fine

You can get away with not having analogue sticks but being able to use L2/R2 without the need for a toggle button is worth paying more and getting something modern

The reason I didn’t mind paying a premium for the Pocket is that it doesn’t have to deal with retroarch

On PC I use Bizhawk for what it can play and standalone for everything else. On my laptop I use openemu which has a sane UI but it hasn’t been updated in a while

I’d like to see how strong that hinge is before I consider it. How well does the Retroid 3+ run N64 and Saturn? My 353M is kinda spotty with Saturn but is bad at N64

4:3 screens are cool. If only they didn’t mess with the stick placement or else I’d be all over this one

Any major problems with the 405M? Might upgrade from my 353M since Saturn supposedly runs better though I’m not too keen on relying on Android

I got my goofy Flip a day or so ago and I think it’s neat. I setup retroid launcher before realizing that there are multiple launchers you could use. Are any of them good enough that it’s worth redoing everything?

It’s my first retroid so I’m not sure how it compares there but it’s about as comfortable as my RG353M and more comfortable than my Analogue pocket, it feels like a thicker 2DS XL if you have one of those. No cramps for me but I do have baby hands. It’s surprisingly compact, more portable than a 3DS XL or a Vita and It slips into my pants pocket easy enough, but it’s more noticeable throughout the day due to its thicc body and flared triggers compared to the 353m which I barely feel in my pocket

I think they have one more revision. Just something reveled on a Tuesday afternoon then released a week later like the 2DS XL

Seems like a missed opportunity, people spend $600 on a prebuilt mister and would jump on a $250 version in a fancy box even if openFPGA is kinda half baked by comparison. Maybe the pocket will be able to meet demand soon and they’d rather you buy that

If the Steam deck is too big the Retroid Pocket 3+ and the Anbernic 405M are popular choices

Two weeks with the flip and I still think it's cool but I'm back to using my analogue pocket and 353M most of the time. I prefer how the 353M feels in the hand and games feel a bit more responsive on the pocket so I mainly just use the flip for Dreamcast, Saturn, and PSP. Was kinda hoping for an end all champion of a device that would make me want to sell the others but it's not quite there

I'd think anything with a horizontal layout would be fine with big hands I hear the RG353P is surprisingly comfy, avoid vertical game boy stuff

Yea a cool benefit is that it’s very easy to transfer saves from my mister to it since they’re very similar. Makes me wish the Pocket had some sort of wireless capability so I could automatically sync between the two

Try sending someone on eBay an offer, going by the recently sold listings people accept them often

might be a strange opinion but I hope we get something soon that has the power of the 405M but isnt android based. I prefer the Linux based OS that my 353M uses compared to the Flip. Android just feels kinda sloppy

yeah same, I wanted to buy a 405M last week but it's been out for a bit and maybe there will be a new model soon with the dpad in the correct position and better colors

The pocket goes fully off in suspend mode it just saves a state and auto loads it once turned on it’s neat. I brought mine on an international flight recently and the battery really impressed me

I bought the retroid 2S like a doofus guess it’s time to unload my 353M. Owning too many of these would make me anxious
