Inspired by a previous post I saw. I realized I didn't care as much for the lower screen for most games I played, but I still wanted it to be just large enough where I could see the map or tap with my finger. I distorted the lower screen but this allows me to have a gorgeous 1280x768 resolution for the upper screen and take advantage of the full width of the device. Works very well with Zeldas, Yoshi and Poochy, 2D and 3D Mario, Star Fox...etc. Most of the games I've been playing tbh. Makes me feel like I have a dinky single screen 3DS available at all times lol

Retroid Pocket 6

Castlevania: Belmont's Curse

Droiddeck

Proton 11 ARM64

Extreme + TSO

1152 x 648

Have really been looking forward to the new Castlevania, and boy does it not disappoint. Fast, fluid combat, incredible art direction, really intuitive map flow, it's exactly how to modernize a series. Has immediately shot up to my top 3 in the series with AOS and SOTN.

The game is very playable, hovering between 40 and 60 fps, and I really appreciate the accessibility options like giving Rose and enemies outlines for better visibility

Still pretty happy with the RP4Pro. 007 nightfire has been a blast playing it

Got a 12gb Pocket 6 (with the second screen) coming on Saturday finally!! I’ve done my research and kinda have an idea what I’m going to do with it. Biggest questions. I know it plays switch games, but can it play multiplayer games as well? Also, should I do the install with the second screen option for 3DS games?

And it goes without saying, I will be videoing the unboxing just in case.

TIA!

I ordered the RP DUO as soon as it was available, and was kind of on the edge of canceling the order but held on until I could see some hands on reviews of the unit, also when the Anbernic DDS was announced it kinda threw me for a loop after seeing the power house chip it came with but everything else looked lack luster especially those screens, like I get it they are known to make faithful clones but then why give it the G2 chips that promote playing more modern games such as 16:9 content just to be held back by those screens. Best of both worlds would be G2 chip on the DUO but ehh we can’t get everything. This was more of a rant but after seeing the Duo brute force its way through the emulations and seeing the performance it got with no updates/drivers from any emulators as it’s a completely new chip in the emulation space I’m actually pretty excited to see how far we can take it as a community. (Also let’s not even mention the price of the DDS….).

I genuinely love this thing. I have an ayn thor and steam deck yet I find myself reaching for the nova and taking it with me to work due to how small and easy it is to transport. On another note super mario sunshine eclipse is so much fun. I've always had a strenuous relationship with sunshine as i wanted to love it but couldn't, eclipse has given me a new found appreciation for it. Great mod.

My RP6 just arrived today!! I officially got my combo of devices to keep me content for awhile ☺️ I'm happy asf. Was gonna get the Nova but I realized I have my Fold 8 for 4:3 games. I'm excited tho, let me get to the setup process lol

In awe at how light and comfortable the RP6 is with the official grip.

I have wrist issues post lyme disease so I had to sell my steam deck due to it being so heavy.

This is the perfect balance.

Game native compatability isn't perfect but it appears to be improving by the day.

Just got this 512gb SD card for $35. Works perfect and looks brand new.

I've been following the recent news regarding decomps which allow games from consoles to be run natively on PC/Android/Linux or whatever your target platform is while sidestepping the need for an emulation layer to run the game in. The performance offered by decomps is vastly superior to emulation so our handhelds will able to offer significantly smoother performance playing them on the go.

One of the most impressive developments in the space is Bloodborne running at 100+ fps on PC, buttery smooth with FSR/DLSS support. Its a dream come true, we'll finally be able to push our handhelds to their maximum potential without having the performance overhead of emulation.

I think this is extremely exciting for this space and bodes well for Android handhelds as a gaming platform.

Hello, we barely talk about sport games here so I am just curious what are the best sport titles (FIFA, NBA, NHL...) that you have managed to run on RP6.

My RP6 12 GB is coming soon so interested to know what to expect and what is your experience here. Thanks!

I love my RP6 12gb, but lately I’ve been feeling like I’m not really taking advantage of what this thing can do.

Right now, I pretty much only play PS2 games on it. But there is so many other systems, games, and possibilities this device has, and I feel like I’m missing out on a huge part of the experience.

I’m curious:
What do you guys actually use your Retroid for the most?

What systems do you play the most?

Are there any games, apps, or features that made you feel like you were finally getting the most out of your device?

I feel like I need to branch out and discover what this thing is really capable of. Currently have these but they’re not entirely set up, I haven’t touched Eden, Azahar, Armsx3 (due to not being able to figure it out) and game native (I have a lot of issues with some games).
I’m pretty new to all of this, I’ve had this for a while now but haven’t gotten the hang of setting everything up.

Cutest handheld I ever done saw, it's a thing of beauty. Also added some pics with its big brother for size comparison.

Delivered today, ordered 27th of September. Not too bad. I know I just got it, but it feels amazing and I already can tell I'd enjoy playing on it. Every part of it feels amazing and the design is so good. Smaller than I expected and that's a good thing.

Welp time to spend 4-8 hours tinkering with it!

The problem isn't directly caused by the screen itself, because it's even visible with the ingame screen recording on any other display or when connected to an external screen.

The same content doesn't show this weird shimmering effects when running on rocknix or on my galaxy s10e / retroid pocket flip 2.

Yes, integer scaling + nearest neighbor is enabled

Here is how it looks like when playing certain sprite based side scrollers, even more noticeable and distracting when connected to a tv.

Again, same content looks completely shimmerless on my galaxy s10e or retroid pocket flip2

Hey all,

I put in an order a few days ago and wanted to change the ram amount and pay the difference. I tried replying to my order email but haven’t heard back. My order still has not shipped. Any ideas anyone?

Here is a short showcase of toy story 3 complete edition running very well on the rp5

Hey so I wanna use the cocoon front end but when I downloaded phantom os it kinda worked but not really, it took some elements from the download but it doesn’t look like it it all, first pic is the frontend second pic is how it suppose to look like (im on the retroid pocket 6)

Tuesday I got my Rp5 (12gb+128) version in, I mainly been using it for “DroidDeck” and play store games. I love it so far my most “premium” android device I’ve had. I feel like I’m not using it right or how I should be using it since I’m mainly using it for just lite steam titles and Android App Store games, does anyone else do this with their device?

I might want to switch it up someday. Have a two tone half.

I'd also like for them to make some more colors later so I could see yellow or green.

I really want a dual screen handheld, but I can't decide what to pick, a "new" 3DS or a RP duo.

I want to firstly clarify that I already got the old 3DS XL from someone from family, but because it doesnt have a second stick, and other buttons, I am afraid I won't be able to use it much. I want a travel handheld. I wish there was a device that can get from both worlds, but there is no such handheld.

the 3DS gives you the huge 3DS library, all games running perfectly, a huge modding scene, and the nintendo charm. but it can't run modern games like Celeste, Stardew Valley, etc; and it has a low resolution display.

on the other hand, the RP duo can run modern games like Celeste, Stardew Valley, Minecraft AND 3DS games. But a major flaw is that it does not give a smooth experience like the 3DS. It can stutter, you need to change settings all the time.

I just noticed this and they look the exact same.
