-

I take it back I found the purpose of the #RetroidPocket5 dual-screen setup
-
So I have had this second screen for a few weeks now and it has made me want to use my #RetroidPocket5 less than before. Dont get me wrong the screen itself is not bad, in fact quite the oppiste as it is a nice little USB-C touch screen with a passtrhough port at the top for charging.
It just is a pain to have attached while playing as it adds an awkward amount of weight while holding the system. Not to mention it blocks buttons on the top of the system (though Retroid did a software patch to for easier volume control through quick settings menu). Not to mention the passive power draw even when system is in sleep mode is unreal.
The software is kinda there, as there is a fork of melonDS, the #NDS emulator, that allows for external screen support and the popular #3DS emulator Azahar supports the external screen out of the box so it is not too much work to get it working with native dual screen systems. Though for everyday game playing on one screen while having a guide or something on the other leave a lot to be desired. I would even argue not even worth having.
I don't completely regret the purchase as I stated earlier it is a nice screen on it's own, and a welcome surprise that Retroid is adding support for a system instead on releasing just another random handheld like many of these company's do. It is just is wish there was a better way to go about this. -
It's not all ๐ ๐ with my #RetroidPocket5; every time it restarts I have to hold the volume up button to boot into Grub from the #Rocknix card or else it winds up back in Android. Also, it doesn't seem to want to charge very fast (if at all) when it's not in Android. After my last one nearly caught fire I'm kind of okay with that I suppose.

Initial experience with #PSP games on the #RetroidPocket5 is mostly good! BurnOut runs with some stuttering. I can probably tweak some settings to get it to a steady FPS. #PPSSPP crashed and caused #Rocknix to reboot once, and I can't find a way to run it as a #libretro core so that Auto-Saves work consistently. I'm hopeful that those details can get worked out.

I got #Rocknix installed on my #RetroidPocket5. But it's #PSP emulator doesn't accept .7z files so I've got to decompress my whole collection and convert them to .chd files. Also, the Dreamcast .chd files I built from redumped bin+cues aren't compatible with #FlyCast so I've got to convert all of those to .gdi then re-chd them. I hope Launch ox doesn't lose all my favorites when I switch the files ๐
Pirating games is a lot of work!

My replacement #RetroidPocket5 comes today!
I need to install #Linux on it (probably #Rocknix) and see how the #N64 and #segaSaturn compatibility is. My #Rockchip powered #Anbernic #RGArc doesn't have great #emulation support for a lot of #games, and the reason I bought the #Retroid was in hopes that the #Snapdragon GPU would have better compatibility
If it performs the same then I may just resell it because the problems I had with my last unit have not inspired me with confidence

I've owned three #Anbernic handhelds and never had any problems with them.
The first #Retroid device I bought (also twice as expensive as any other I own) and it nearly catches fire and the company can't seem to manage a return process.
Don't buy a #RetroidPocket5, their charging circuitry is faulty and they can explode.

Spent the day fiddling with the new toy. #RetroidPocket5 #rp5
Main issue so far is the position of the sticks at the bottom. Itโs very uncomfortable to hold it for newer games where you move with the stick instead of the d-pad. People recommended buying grips, so weโll see.
Everything else has been great so far, games run beautiful, great compatibility, the AMOLED screen looks amazing, steam link, Xbox and PS streaming from console run very well.

My new favorite handheld console arrived recently and I LOVE this thing! The Retroid Pocket 5. Seamlessly and easily plays everything I've wanted it to with very few exceptions. My only complaint is the thumbstick placement, making twin-stick games more difficult. I'm excited to get my ergonomic grip from Etsy in and see if that improves things any! #Retroid #RetroidPocket5 #Emulation #RetroHandhelds
