    I'm glad that you mentioned the rg353m. The 405m may have more power, but it doesn't have the hdmi out and the pocketability. I can't explain how much I enjoy the rg353m. For it being a gba killer to being dockable turtles in time, Simpsons arcade 4 player snes mini killer. It may get overshadowed as time goes on due to performance, but we may not see such size and dockability for some time. That is what the 405m is missing.

    I have a few of these. Are the Miyoo Mini Plus and Anbernic RG35XX still competitive, considering the competition? Perhaps, if the price drop is taken into consideration.
    I have both the RG353V and the VS. The RG353P and PS are the same, but in a much more comfortable form factor, beautifully curved edge
    I gave up on setting up my Retroid Pocket 3 Plus and I truly hate Android, but really like the stunning clear blue shell and the form factor.
    Again, the RG353PS or P are cheaper and more comfortable than the metal version, the RG353M.
    That RG405 looks nice and the larger screen with a stronger processor may be really worth it.
    The RGB30 is quite interesting and either that or the Retroid Pocket 2S could have and should have been included.

    Anbernic has a sale today on 11/11 so I purchased a RG405M based on some research & your recommendation.
    I was leaning towards the RG353V but upgraded due to screen size & horizontal vs. vertical (no one ever discusses which one is better/more comfortable?). I guess that it's a personal preference.
    Thanks for the video.

    The Retroid Pocket 2S should take the #1 spot as the most value under $100, it can play a few GameCube games, PS2 and has the best sticks compared to the other handhelds and also analog triggers with HDMI out and BT+Wifi. No competition for that price

Of course it does well on everything to PS1 and plays most N64 and Saturn games. The others this year are just more of the same from 2022...

    • @zakyrath

      Reviewers don't really tweak the device for each game. It's basically tailored for lowest level consumers. They aren't going to mess with settings for each game to get the best proformance. Like for my retroid pocket 2s I've seen so many reviews saying it doesn't do gc/ps2 but I've found around 60% of games work flawless with some tweaks.
