Does the retroid setup process give you an option to not insta any of the google apps? The pocket 3+ specs look perfect to me but I don’t like android because of all the junk running in the background.

I saw that there are some third party roms but Id like to stay as close to stock as possible to not have to debug issues myself

Anbernic RG505 is looking pretty good, kind of regretting my RP3+ preorder. But I guess with these consoles there will always be a newer shinier thing

It's basically just a RP3+ sidegrade. The sticks and start/select buttons look better but the shoulder buttons look worse, the screen is more vivid but lower resolution, and Retroid's Android builds have recently been better than Anbernic's. The SoC is identical.

It definitely looks like a solid option, but there's no reason to regret getting a RP3+ over it.
Yeah, the main thing for me is that I wanted to get a RP3+ for PSP games, and the RG505 display is rumored to be a reused Vita oled which means it'd scale up pixel perfect. Not a huge deal though

There will always be something shinier, and I expect the 505 will be a decent chunk more expensive than the RP3+ for roughly the same performance.


It's priced roughly the same

I got a clurple on the 9th and I still haven’t gotten my shipping notification

Finally got my rp3+. Very impressed with performance so far, spent all night setting up HD and 60fps mods for psp and most games look and run like a dream. The first gamecube game I tried (naruto clash of ninja 4) even ran at 1x 60fps

Only downside is a lack of a physical back button, so I have to use the touchscreen to access emulator settings if I'm using ppsspp, or if I'm emulating a console that uses every key (although retroarch lets you work around that)

A sapphire vita is the most beautiful piece of hardware I've ever owned. Sold it right after beating persona 4

I think if it had the original PSP's shoulder buttons it'd be actually perfect

The miyoo mini does that too. Not sure if it is a custom firmware feature though

The force unleashed wii/psp port straight up had more features than the ps3 version, it’s really bizarre and cool

I really miss the console era of every device having its own version of the game. Would much rather have that than the 10fps switch ports we get now

I think burnout legends is a better game and from what I understand it's essentially a burnout 3 port anyway

Got my funkey s but the usb cable doesn’t work and apparently thats a known issue with the last batch. Gonna have to ship it back or get a replacement

It is very pretty though!

Looks like its android only? Is that the limitation of the chip, I thought anbernic usually let you run linux

I literally just got an RGB30 and was hoping I can get away with doing minimal tinkering on it

Guess I'll have to install arkos
