      ​@@TechDweebbtw you can play games that use the stick and dpad by setting dpad=stick and l1+dpad=dpad.
      Saturn, dreamcast, and 64 only used both of the dpad was going to be items or map. None of them had 4 shoulder buttons.

    I got this to go along with my RGB30, and it’s been fun playing through a bunch of Saturn games. I grew up playing Mega Drive games, but my dad ended up buying a PlayStation instead of a Saturn so I never got to play a bunch of the classics on there. I just wish they’d gone with a more powerful chip, and figured out a way to include analogue sticks in the design. Maybe that can come with an RG-ARC Plus or something.
    It’s also great for PortMaster, because of the more normal aspect ratio. I’ve been having fun with AM2R too, and it runs like a dream.

    Hi! After you redirected the d-pad to analog at 13:10, it did not stop working in the menu, but it started working on the reassigned buttons. I set it up this way and was able to control the character in Sonic 2 on my Anbernic arc D, as well as in other games.There is another solution to the problem: you can install the "retro arena arc beta firmware beta 10 test 10", which can be downloaded on the developer's discord channel, which uses retroarch to play dreamcast, and configure the buttons in retroarch menu, but not all games are supported

    So, after this review I bought the cheaper ARC (linux only). Its now my favourite handheld (I also have the Retroid Pocket 3+).
    The only minor drawback is the fact that you have to source the images for each game yourself (as you mentioned) and the menu is a bit weird.
    The positives far outweigh the negatives though. The DPad is great. It feels a lot like an old (Amiga) CD32 pad I had. The fact that it now has the 6 buttons exactly like the megadrive is just lovely.
    Thanks for the heads up and yes, Id definitely recommend it too. Currently playing Alien Trilogy on the saturn and shinobi on the megadrive :)

    Ordered the ARC-S on day 1 and it's my favourite retro handheld now, replacing the RG353P. Yes, it's disappointing that they didn't use a better chipset and also disappointing that the nicer colours of the ARC-D aren't available for the ARC-S. But it's just so comfortable to hold, the D-PAD and the buttons are just fantastic and the larger screen is awesome. I just hope some proper custom firmware is being released soon for the ARC-S (GammaOS is already available for the ARC-D), because while the stock firmware isn't bad, it's also not great. I really don't get why they would have "Emulators" and "RetroArch" separately, containing some but not all the same emulators. TheRA released a beta firmware already, so here's hoping for a 1.0 release soon.

    Thanks for an informative and fun review, TD! I think that Android side in ARC -D has its use.

Plus, I have full use of touch screen for Nintendo DS emulation and can scrape artwork easy on the device. Oh, and full access to Play store.
    I actually have been playing it more than my Odin 2. I like the dpad, bigger buttons and shape of it more for retro games esp Sega ones.

    My whole childhood is nintendo: I had the game boy, super nintendo, n64,gamecube, wii and 3DS; sadly we sold every console(oh... the poor dumb children we were) and I remember I always loved sonic but never had a chance to play outside of visual boy advance in the 2000s, so as the time passed I wished I could have played a sega console. I got really happy with this release and hope they keep making handhelds like this. A dualshock and gamecube styled handheld would be cool🤔🤔
    I love your skits, keep making them Dweeb, it's your biggest charm on this channel, even if I'm not interested in the video I know you'll make something original and totally worth the watch.

      Thanks for sharing the memories, and thanks for sticking with me! This is my favourite type of video to make. They take a LONG time to make like this, but it's worth it :)

    They got SO close with this system. I just can’t bring myself to get it because I think a sega handheld should play all retro sega systems 100%. I already have so many handhelds, but if they can get a second version of this to run a little better I would pick it up in a heartbeat. Great video Dweeb! On a side note I would love to see a video of all the settings you use to make your games look retro on these devices.

      If this was powerful enough to run beetle_saturn, I'd be over the moon.
      As it stands, it's cool, but not powerful enough.

    OOH "HER PLACE"... Do spill, you tease. We were a Genesis household. I remember seeing the console at my father's office, sitting in one of the arm chairs for clients. He owned an insurance agency, now he's owning some mold in my closet since someone is too cheap to find a proper urn for the quarter of dear old dad he has. Anyways, it was a two pack with Sonic 1 and Quack Shot. Two great games.

    It's a very useful thing. I bought the S version with Linux only, it's powerful enough for my purposes of playing 2D fighting games.

    I got a Retroid Pocket 2+ a few years ago mostly for emulation of 90s Sega and Nintendo consoles but I was disappointed with the Saturn emulation so of course I’m looking at these and hoping they can actually handle Saturn games smoothly as I would be buying this just for the ability to play Saturn games properly (although the controller layout is cool as for Mega Drive and Saturn games).

    I know it's meant to be Sega-oriented, but did you try playing SNES games at all? I'm just wondering how the control layout felt for SNES games.

    • @TechDweeb
      @TechDweeb  8 месяцев назад +2

      I did! I guess I didn't use that clip in the vid but I tested a few snes games and it was glorious. This dpad is just amazing for retro gaming in general.

    Should’ve tried Guardian Heroes… the button layout is perfect for commanding the “Undead Hero”. Sadly I can’t buy it yet, I’m still having fun with my 👊🏻🐱V90.

    Anyone have any idea how compatable Shining Force III is on this puppy? That's an instant buy if it works well. I have a retroid2+ and it runs like doodoo on that, so I'm just looking around for anything that can play it well.

    • @TechDweeb

    I hope they make a handheld with a 4:3 5" screen with a Linux OS. Hardly any system really takes advantage of 16:9 except for the PSP anyway.
    PS - the shape is reminiscent of the original gamepad for the Genesis, not the Genesis 2 or Saturn.
