It's worth mentioning it was just 2 months after the RP3 because they've been spending over a year trying to sort the issues with the RP3 units before its release. If the RP3 had managed to be released earlier, I imagine it would have been something normal like 6-12 months between releases. And the only reason the 2+ exists is because they wanted to release something in the gap, and a lot of people love their 2+ consoles.
THIS is the one. I was hesitant about the RP3 with its supposed quality control issues, but I think this is the one. Perfect form factor, and I really only need it to reliably play 2D games up to the Gameboy Advance. And the HDMI out is a hugely underrated feature, IMO. Now to order it and wait until 2024 for it to arrive.
I got the RP2+ after the RP2 a while back and I think, for the tiny handheld market, that's where I'll stop, at least for the next couple years or so. The form-factor change + Android 11 of the RP3 didn't justify the cost of yet another handheld (for me) especially since the 2+ can do just about everything the 3 can. I love the 2+ system's feel and form-factor, too; it's wonderfully pocketable and a joy to hold. Your review on the RP3+ surprised me in that it basically has just as bad of GC emulation as the RP2+, or very comparable. Your comments on GC emulation were essentially identical to what I've seen people eek out of the 2+, which makes me think that the improvements have been more GPU rather than CPU oriented, or maybe just a TON more power and optimization will be needed to achieve solid GC performance. I decided to go with the Steam Deck for all emulation beyond Dreamcast, with hopes that eventually PS3 will be more playable on the Deck (though this isn't essential for me since I only have a small handful of games I'd like to try, no favorites). GC, Wii, PS2, and presumably (though I haven't been able to make it work yet) Wii U are amazing on the Deck. And you get a capable productivity PC if desired plus something that can play numerous PC games quite well. It's portable enough for my needs, though I can't see myself preferring systems below N64 on the Deck. The pleasure of playing a PS1, SNES, or GBA title on the RP2+ is hard to explain; the vibrant display, tight feel, comfortable weight of the system, and lovely control scheme makes earlier retro systems just perfect on that system, for me.
It's pretty crazy to think that we're basically one generation from full performance native resolution GameCube possibly under $200 in terms of purpose built handheld devices. We are also not far away from seeing significantly more playable PlayStation 2 in the same price category.
@@blindindianpeople2122 I am personally VERY excited about that $149-199 price point. It seems like people are "accustomed" to spending under $200 on a handheld. I just wish logitech could bring down the G-cloud to around $199-229 it would REALLY make sense.
It's always so hard not to pick up these systems whenever you put a video like this out. Especially when every website let's you use those "Pay in 4" payment options. I already have an RG351P and a Steam Deck, but this thing looks perfect for PSP and is much easier to carry around than a Steam Deck.
@@ItWasAllPartOfMyPlan I got the RP3 and it took over a month to get it, and the RP3+ was announced days later, so I'm not really interested in spending $150 more to upgrade, but as a 351p owner myself, I definitely agree - big upgrade even with the RP3.
I have RG300, Rp2+, Steam Deck and now I have ordered Rp3+ for PSP and Android native games. I'm using my Deck mainly on the couch when pocketable Rp2+ stick with me almost everywhere.
If we think logically, it could have been their inability to get the chips they wanted and the need to generate revenue that forced them to make these choices. Either way, I'm happy they are making all these nifty handhelds. I say the more the better. I personally don't play many retro games after SNES to the pocket 3+ would be a bit much for my use case. But it will be perfect for my daughter.
I just one the ultimate handheld psp type console that has virtually every game for the older consoles all made fit to screen hd and working. Some handhelds have some games but looking at receives the games some don’t work or crash. I’m hoping one day, there could be that one Device with all retro games up to ps3 and before
I just got my RP3+ today, and I'm ecstatic! For anyone who is currently watching every Retroid Pocket video you can find to try and pass the time until you get yours (like I did), I'd like to offer a little hope: I ordered mine on 4/8/23, and received it only 12 days later on 4/20/23. For extra context, I placed my order on a Saturday, and it had to travel to the United States midwest. I was prepared to wait at least 4 weeks, so I couldn't be happier!
I just ordered one yesterday I’m so excited. I’ve never had a console like this but always wanted a gameboy and been missing my old vita. I really hope this is a good one to start off with and I hope nothing newer and better comes out soon
Absolutely no regrets upgrading from a RP3 to a RP3+. Still slightly miffed on the timing, but having a smaller form emulation device you can just throw in a purse or bag is pretty awesome. I love the Steam Deck for emulation but it's not as portable as it could be. At the very least, despite the start/select placement and button placement, it's MILES better than the RP2+ just for the screen size alone. Yes, that extra inch or two does make a difference when you're trying to read very tiny text. ;)
I actually prefer the form factor the rp2 brought out, It makes the older games look better becouse its not streched and dosent have bezels. Also bonus points for the portablility, the rp2+ is really a treasure for how much power you can get away with a small form factor
I agree with what you said at the start. I'll wait for a handheld that can comfortably emulate all PS2 games for under $150. Might be waiting a year+ but I'm in no rush
Appreciate the advice. I'm looking for a small, aesthetically pleasing handheld that doesn't need an external controller or Backbone type of device. My dream machine is probably an Ambernic 353m that can run all PS2 games very comfortably
The Odin Lite makes a lot of sense already. You need a combination of proper buttons, power, battery life, software, and a quality screen and so few devices can do it all. The Lite isn’t perfect, but it might be a while before it’s beat for retro emulation in terms of value.
We are getting there step by step. The perfect ps2 handheld will come in the next 2~3 year. (Steamdeck is no option for me, costs 700 bucks where I live + it is too big)
@@kevinbbadd64gb Deck in the UK cost £350, performance is similar to a PS4 pro. Explain to me how it's expensive and trash? What would you recommend instead - price to performance?
This is just up my alley in term of performance and form factor. But as you said something better is probably just around the corner which makes me hesitant.
my advice would be for you to check what you want to play first and then compare it against the console because if you keep waiting for the next big thing you'll never get one. I've been waiting and searching for one for a long time while just using an old 3ds to play some games and I've seen a ton of consoles that where "just right" coming out every 5 to 6 months and every time they seem better than the last one because sadly that's how the business goes. Just go for the one that meet your needs and play what you got It for. Maybe a year or so later you'll have other games that require a more powerful one and you can change at that time while selling the one you already used.
every week or month comes a better one... i still have my retroid pocket 3 in box...same with rg353v and now i received 353m and now again i ordered the rg505...they just come one after the other. thats the problem....
As long as it runs the systems you're interested in there's no reason to upgrade. Unless you are just a collector like most of these youtubers. I didn't get the RP3 because it didn't run psp well, and ps2 and gamecube were even worse. When I saw that the 3+ runs all psp and 2x, 3x, and even 4x resolution, and 50% of gamecube and ps2 library this device was a no brainer for me. I'm sure it will be atleast another year before retroid launches their rp4.
There are SO many handhelds like this...if only someone would make a 'Holiday Buyers Guide' that illustrated the best values at specific price points--
~$70 - Miyoo Mini is the best very cheap device ~$150 - This RP3+ is the best medium budget device, ~$300 - The upcoming AYA Neo Air Plus with the Intel i3 will be the best mid-tier device.
I only own a switch and really want to get something like this. The Anbernic RG353m seems like a better size, but the RP3+ has more power and stacked triggers. I’m definitely going to wait for a RP4. I want the small form factor while being able to run PS2 and GC. There is one game in particular I would LOVE if you could test out; Tak and the Power of Juju on PS2. It was the first game I ever played, other than online flash games. I would really appreciate it if you can let me know how it runs on the RP3+. Thank you so much for all of your videos. They’ve been super helpful. ❤
Just get a phone with good specs and put a phone in a game controller like kishi v2, and you have a more powerful device with android...wouldn't buy this retroid, they put cheap outdated chips something like Mali..and ram..its only 4gb?? I have my switch lite I love that console, but I will just play on a phone if I want something with android
Wow, this is what the RP3 should have been! I was disappointed when I learned that the rp3 had the same CPU as the rp2 plus that I already had, and was mainly a display upgrade.
hello, I am not very skilled at the technical stuff. Does it come pre-installed with games, or is it easy to download and play all the retro games? And once I download games, do I need to stay connected to the internet. thanks
I bought a RP2+ on spring, and I nearly got no more than 10-20 hours with it (configuration include). Overall I satisfied with it. Further more I bought a Miyoo Mini V2.. Soooo... more than enough for me. :D
Do I need to buy an SD card to put the games on or does it come on the device? Also, does miyoo mini plus include rad racer for nes, all mario, zelda and sonic games up to the gameboy advanc? I do like those older games but if the pocket 3 can run ps2, ps1, psp I'm sold.
I picked up the retro pocket 2 a while back. I love it I would love to get something more powerful like 3+..... problem is I just bought a really nice laptop for $1399 and I can't justify spending as much on the win4. do you have something you recommend that's close to the win4 for cheaper?
and the specs are Dell g15 5521 SE 12900h , 3070ti 8gb, QHD 1440p 240hz, 32 ddr5 4800hz, killer wi-fi 6, 1tb. also got a three-year accident @ micro center it jumped up to 1599.
I'd love to see you do a Shoryuken when you test d-pads, I feel like quarter circle motions are very easy on most d-pads, even older crappy ones. The F-D-DF motion is much better tell imo :)
I'm holding off on upgrading my RP3. I was surprised this came out so soon after the RP3 launch and while the upgraded processor would have some benefits for newer games, it's not worth it to me for the price. I also started having WiFi issues about a month ago that still aren't resolved. Waiting to hear back from sales@goretroid still but that experience doesn't make me want to jump into another of their products just yet
Thanks for this. Already having a RP2+, I was debating getting this. The slight performance jump doesn't really warrant giving up on the 2+, imo. I'll wait until their next installment.
@@maxiynacho I guess it depends on what you're looking for. My RP2+ plays everything I want to throw at it just fine. If the 3+ could handle more PS2, GC, etc., I guess I'd call that significant enough to spend more.
Just got mine. It's like a jack of all trades device. I can play emulators up to some 3ds and ps2 games. With the 256 gb sd card, I manage to download tons of more roms than my gaming phone which lacked the memory expansion. Native android is better than I expected. But the best thing is the PSplay. I tinkered with the saturation and the experience looks beautiful.
If you get a chance to test the following games I definitely appreciate it: Dragon Quest 8 (PS2) Harvest Moon Magical Melody (GC) Skies of Arcadia (DC) SMT: Digital Devil Saga (PS2) Thanks and definitely appreciate the review thus far.
@@awesomereviews1561 I've since found another RUclipsr who demoed dq8 on the RP3+, and it looked pretty good. There was some occasional minor slow down, but nothing to keep it from being playable based on what he showed. That said, I'd still love a second opinion.
Odin doesn't fit in the pocket as well as retroid devices. To be fair this runs around 50% of gamecube. I've seen other youtubers run gamecube alot better than showcased here, they probably had to do some tinkering though.
When Retroid release a handheld with the dimensity 900 chip you will get the GC and PS2 at 60fps emulation you're looking for, this should be coming in a couple of months in the shape of the RP3s
@@gontsekganyago4079 there's no price attached , why would it be that much when you can slice that price in half and get Odin lite right now with same chip set?
DAM!! Was really hoping PS2 and Game Cube would run like God of Was did on PPSSPP. I may have to reevaluate the Odin Lite Awesome review ETA PRIME always enjoy your content.
Great video once again! I personally feel like more people prefer Moonlight over Steam Link for in-home streaming so I would love to see the average hardware decoding latency from Moonlight to understand what the chips in this kind of devices are able to do
I ordered a RP3+ on the 16th before any reviews came out (maybe besides Mjolnir’s, but don’t quote me on that one), and I was already saying this is the handheld for me as a skipped the RP3.I had an RP2+ and loved it, but it was too small and didn’t seems to have the performance I wanted, but now I am so happy I spent the money on the 3+ and cannot wait for mine to ship!
I’m going to wait and see what the KTR1 or the Pocket 4 or 4 Plus offer. Or something from Anbernic. Hopefully Anbernic will offer something else with stacked shoulder buttons and improved internals that go up to at least Wii emulation.
I'm still annoyed at the start select positions on this device, I was super excited for the 3 initially until I found that out (the stick placement on the 2 stopped me from getting that)
I have a RP2+ since january and I preordered in my country the RP3+ and this is the best console ever for that price, the Odin almost doubles the price because of taxes and customs and Logitech it's only available in USA, so the RP3+ it's the best one to buy right now, I expect to have it in mid december if everything goes well
@@YouJGSousa I think at this price point the performance is warranted. You'll have to pay 2x the price for solid GC/PS2 performance with something like the upcoming AYA Neo Air Plus (Intel i3 version). Being able to play select GC/PS2 at 0.5 resolution on this device is still quite good considering the screen size.
I was gonna get the Odin LITE but I hear shipping is either really good or ready bad. I figured I'll order that if I'm not satisfied with this. Great vid!
Great review! I just received my rp3 last week hope they had let me know atleast a couple of days earlier. I will wait for the rp4 that they will release in next couple of months 😄.
It may change in the future, but at the current price range I do think it cuts dangerously close to the point where getting an Odin Lite would make more sense
I'm still a little bit salty about the RP3+ because I finally received the RP3 like 3 weeks ago but after checking some reviews for it, I would not have taken advantage of the extra power as i mainly wanted It for older consoles up to DS so it's not that bad. Even the 2+ was enough but I like the extra screen space even if It's just black, I've been using It to set up retroarch shortcuts and the Start+Select buttons
There are Leaks that the next RP3S and RP3S+ coming early next year with the Same Strong GPU than the Ayn Odin Lite. I rather stick with Other Companys like Ayn
@@KWPZ21 It feels exactly like a Nintendo Switch. So some people really hate those clicky style buttons and d-pad (as opposed to the mushy ones on most controllers). I like them a lot myself. Haven't used any Anbernic handhelds so can't say if their joysticks are better, but the sticks on the RP3 are definitely just... acceptable.
@@jarquezknight9169 Not other than the Google Play store, but the whole point is that once you start dumping ROMs yiu've pretty much got more games than you could ever play.
30% playable games of Gamecube and PS2 is disappointing to me especially when you consider how much these handhelds release. I'll hold off and wait till we have something powerful enough to emulate the more demanding systems.
Just wondering, why is it that every time one of the these new handhelds is released it's always the same exact games that are tested...aren't there other games that can used to showcase that are just as demanding? Please don't take this as a knock, I enjoy your channel and the content you provide.
i was really curious about that specific color, and that purple looks really nice. it's the kind that i want unlike the odin's that looked like washed atomic purple. it's similar to the transparent purple n64 controller.
You mention it's the same CPU as the Tab A8, do you have any thoughts comparing the two directly, is the control surface worth it compared to a larger screen?
I got a Tab A8 fairly recently (3GB model) and I was a little disappointed in how sluggish it feels and the overall performance. Also it's cumbersome and heavy compared to even other 10 inch tablets I've used, which makes it bad for handheld gaming IMO.
I would imagine what ever comes next will be upwards of 200 bucks (especially with people looking for the "next steam deck",) so this seems like the best you're likely going to get in this price range for a while. Tempting, because I prefer the symmetrical controls to all these Switch rip off designs with the off set analogs, but I just don't have the cash for it.
I'd rather have the steam deck tho because I can just buy the games like normally would without having to learn how to install emulators also I'd rather play newer games
@@michaelchapline6960 Which is fair... _if_ you have the cash. Plus you have the potential to eventually put emulators on the steam deck if you were motivated enough.
You could tell this guy gets sponsored like crazy love because in every other video, they all say the same thing wait for the next one it’ll be better it will have the game you wanna play 😂
@etaprime can it handle 3DO and Philips CDi? I'm looking at buying one of these but that's really what I'm after. And these handhelds don't really get a lot of coverage for 3D0 and Philips cd-i
Although the Anbernic RG505 came out with the OLED screen and HALL joysticks, I kind of like this one a bit more. Screen still looks great, has stacked shoulder buttons, and has HDMI out. Plus, the variety of color options is pretty awesome. Which would you get if you could only get one of the two? This or the RG505?
tough one. oled screen is CLUTCH but will the 505 play gamecube and psp as well is the question. I dont think it does. Im gonna say retroid, the form factor is just PERFECT harmony
i ended up with a RP3 and a Ayn Odin lite and i have to say i like the Odin lite a lot more. The RP3 has a great look and i really dont mind the controls (the select and start being on top is fine. people have blown that way out of proportion) My issue is the RP3 is just really uncomfortable to hold compared the the Ayn. I know i could probably print a grip or something but that feels like it defeats the point of the system. Also the screen is just such a down grade from the odin lite when it comes to text. the colors on the Rp3 are great and if u have better eyes than me you might be fine with it but the 1080p and extra inch of screen makes a big difference for me.
I'd happily get an Odin if there was any chance of it arriving before 2024... This is much more portable though, so I think it's a slightly unfair comparison.
@@mahoganywolf8843 I mean after u throw them both in a case neither is really pocketable but both fit in a bag pretty nicely. Both are way more portable than say a switch. Actually the best case I could find for the rp3 is a switch light case. Honestly I bought the rp3 because I was sick of waiting on the Odin but the minute the rp3 shipped I got a shipping notice for the Odin. I very rarely find myself in a place where portability is more important than ergonomics. At least to the decide between the rp3 and Odin. The Odin is like holding a early psx controller with out the wrap around, the rp3 is like holding a cell phone sideways or a switch without a 3rd party grip.
@@Skellz the rp3/+ is just a android device so u can just hook it to a computer thru usbc and drag and drop the Roms to a folder either on the internal memory of sd card. I put Roms on a sd card instead of the internal memory to leave that faster memory for android games that will benefit from it. Most if not all micro sd cards are going to read faster than any retro console could.
@@Skellz saving is part of the emulator. Most Roms will store the in game saving bit most emulators also offer save states that can be written and loaded on the fly
The only two downsides for me are the Start/Select button placement and Android-only firmware (I prefer Linux because of it's simplicity and I think that Linux just suits better for that type of devices). Everything else about RP3+ is so awesome that I think that maybe it'll be my next handheld.
I love the overall form factor for this system. The Retroid 2+, personally, is still my favorite design as it feels most similar to the 3DS XL (and I am a fan of that for the most part), but the power is just not enough for what I want to start emulating with the pocket 2. PS2, Game Cube, and all the ones below, are kind of my target and while it doesn't play all of them without some tweaking, I am pleased it works at all. I have a question though, is it a software or hardware issue that has the most effect on if something works or not? I ask because I am deciding on getting this or not - and if it will never be able to successfully run PS2 and Gamecube games - the hard ones specifically - well, I may wait. . I like the look of this, although the Start button at the top will take time getting used to. Do you feel I should wait or go for this considering everything?
Well - I caved and bought one today. I chose the Frost Blue. Do you have a good guide or community who works with these systems? I may have set up questions.
Nice, yet another machine with a decently performing Unisoc T618. Cheap Chinese tablets with this SoC are still surprisingly high performers (for the price). PPSSPP at 4X, nice!
Good for the price but for a bit more you can get an Odin. It runs Genshin at 60 fps and you can up res a lot of Game Cube and PS2 games X 2 or 3. Better support with Odin as well.
That's what I thought at 1st. I also have an F3. I bought some of this handhelds and I always pick these instead of my phone because I don't need to connect the bluetooth controller and have my phone drained off it's battery because of gaming.
AYN Odin Lite is Much Stronger than this one for 50$ more. Sad that Eta only Recommended that AYN Pro for nearly the Double of the Price! RP3+ is no enemy for Ayn Odin lite
Much thanks for showing this playing PS2 era Mortal Kombat. I'd be very curious about seeing Shaolin Monks, Resident Evil Outbreak, & Def Jam FFNY gameplay on this. Because that right there is a selling point. But as you said, wait another 6 months and there will be something sexier lol.
Glad i bought the Odin Lite, if i had purchased the RP3 and then they released this RP3+ with almost twice the performance a couple of months later id be pissed.
It's worth mentioning it was just 2 months after the RP3 because they've been spending over a year trying to sort the issues with the RP3 units before its release. If the RP3 had managed to be released earlier, I imagine it would have been something normal like 6-12 months between releases.
And the only reason the 2+ exists is because they wanted to release something in the gap, and a lot of people love their 2+ consoles.
I ordered this a few days ago, was really hoping it was a good PSP emulator, awesome to see it has no issues running it.
I just ordered mine too after seeing how well it plays PS2 games.

Do you just use the emulators off of android store or do you use retro ark? does it matter? I’m still pretty new to this and I was wondering.
I actually prefer the form factor the rp2 brought out, It makes the older games look better becouse its not streched and dosent have bezels. Also bonus points for the portablility, the rp2+ is really a treasure for how much power you can get away with a small form factor
I agree with what you said at the start. I'll wait for a handheld that can comfortably emulate all PS2 games for under $150. Might be waiting a year+ but I'm in no rush
Just get a decent Android smartphone with Snapdragon 845 minimum and get an 8BitDo controller. A Pixel 3 can be sold for under $100 used on OfferUp.
Ayn Odin Lite MUCH Better for 50$ Dollar More
Appreciate the advice. I'm looking for a small, aesthetically pleasing handheld that doesn't need an external controller or Backbone type of device. My dream machine is probably an Ambernic 353m that can run all PS2 games very comfortably
The Odin Lite makes a lot of sense already. You need a combination of proper buttons, power, battery life, software, and a quality screen and so few devices can do it all. The Lite isn’t perfect, but it might be a while before it’s beat for retro emulation in terms of value.
At that point I'd rather go for a Steam deck tbh. $150 is my absolute maximum, ideally around $100.
My only retro handheld device is an Anbernic 351v, and I just ordered the same clear purple RP3+ you are showing here. I'm super pumped to play psp!
We are getting there step by step. The perfect ps2 handheld will come in the next 2~3 year. (Steamdeck is no option for me, costs 700 bucks where I live + it is too big)
How do you know its too big if you don't have one
Who walks around with their consoles everywhere anyways lol. Best emulation device I've had
Vale is massively increasing distribution around the world. I would wait it out.
Good choice. The deck is expensive trash
@@kevinbbadd64gb Deck in the UK cost £350, performance is similar to a PS4 pro.
Explain to me how it's expensive and trash? What would you recommend instead - price to performance?
@@sycoraz The purpose of a portable console is to carry it anywhere like the old days with the DS and PSP
I've received mine today I can't wait to unbox it! 😍
When did you order
Been waiting for this! Yes!
Yup buying one this week for black friday . I like that atomic purple color !
This is just up my alley in term of performance and form factor. But as you said something better is probably just around the corner which makes me hesitant.
That’s the problem with this whole industry, there’s always a better one to be released in 6 months, but it takes 6 months to ship to you 😅
my advice would be for you to check what you want to play first and then compare it against the console because if you keep waiting for the next big thing you'll never get one. I've been waiting and searching for one for a long time while just using an old 3ds to play some games and I've seen a ton of consoles that where "just right" coming out every 5 to 6 months and every time they seem better than the last one because sadly that's how the business goes.
Just go for the one that meet your needs and play what you got It for. Maybe a year or so later you'll have other games that require a more powerful one and you can change at that time while selling the one you already used.
every week or month comes a better one... i still have my retroid pocket 3 in box...same with rg353v and now i received 353m and now again i ordered the rg505...they just come one after the other. thats the problem....
@overoula Atleast they make great christmas gifts 😅. After I get my RP3+ I'll might just give away my Miyoo Mini
As long as it runs the systems you're interested in there's no reason to upgrade. Unless you are just a collector like most of these youtubers. I didn't get the RP3 because it didn't run psp well, and ps2 and gamecube were even worse. When I saw that the 3+ runs all psp and 2x, 3x, and even 4x resolution, and 50% of gamecube and ps2 library this device was a no brainer for me. I'm sure it will be atleast another year before retroid launches their rp4.
This clear purple looks so good! It was good choice. I Hope to receive mine before christmas.
There are SO many handhelds like this...if only someone would make a 'Holiday Buyers Guide' that illustrated the best values at specific price points--
~$70 - Miyoo Mini is the best very cheap device
~$150 - This RP3+ is the best medium budget device,
~$300 - The upcoming AYA Neo Air Plus with the Intel i3 will be the best mid-tier device.
Anything above that price point you're looking at a >$500 device with something like a Radeon 6800u APU.

The Anbernic RG353m seems like a better size, but the RP3+ has more power and stacked triggers.
I’m definitely going to wait for a RP4. I want the small form factor while being able to run PS2 and GC.
There is one game in particular I would LOVE if you could test out; Tak and the Power of Juju on PS2. It was the first game I ever played, other than online flash games. I would really appreciate it if you can let me know how it runs on the RP3+.
Thank you so much for all of your videos. They’ve been super helpful. ❤

Wow, this is what the RP3 should have been! I was disappointed when I learned that the rp3 had the same CPU as the rp2 plus that I already had, and was mainly a display upgrade.
Really slick professional looking design.
hello, I am not very skilled at the technical stuff. Does it come pre-installed with games, or is it easy to download and play all the retro games? And once I download games, do I need to stay connected to the internet. thanks
This is an awesome little device. That soc should have been in a good handheld over a year ago but Powkiddy dropped the ball.
I just recently made a purchase for the pow kiddy but some reviews show that some games do crash or others don’t work properly or at all……
I think my kids will be pretty happy on Christmas.
I just wanted to tell you that in fighting games is better to test the dpad not only with "hadoken" moves but also with "shoryuken" moves.
No, KOF. They have more complex motions. That’s basic motions clearly.
I ordered this from the link in the description on January 22nd for ~$160. The website stated it was in stock. It was delivered to NY State today ; )
I bought a RP2+ on spring, and I nearly got no more than 10-20 hours with it (configuration include). Overall I satisfied with it. Further more I bought a Miyoo Mini V2.. Soooo... more than enough for me. :D
Do I need to buy an SD card to put the games on or does it come on the device? Also, does miyoo mini plus include rad racer for nes, all mario, zelda and sonic games up to the gameboy advanc? I do like those older games but if the pocket 3 can run ps2, ps1, psp I'm sold.
I picked up the retro pocket 2 a while back. I love it I would love to get something more powerful like 3+..... problem is I just bought a really nice laptop for $1399 and I can't justify spending as much on the win4. do you have something you recommend that's close to the win4 for cheaper?
and the specs are Dell g15 5521 SE 12900h , 3070ti 8gb, QHD 1440p 240hz, 32 ddr5 4800hz, killer wi-fi 6, 1tb. also got a three-year accident @ micro center it jumped up to 1599.
I'd love to see you do a Shoryuken when you test d-pads, I feel like quarter circle motions are very easy on most d-pads, even older crappy ones. The F-D-DF motion is much better tell imo :)

@@andremalerba5281 Shinku Hadouken is just two quarter circles and is not a more difficult input than a Shoryuken in these older titles.
@@paradockz i agre but sometimes a shinku hadouken can be interpreted by the game as a shoryuken if the dpad is bad
I'm holding off on upgrading my RP3. I was surprised this came out so soon after the RP3 launch and while the upgraded processor would have some benefits for newer games, it's not worth it to me for the price. I also started having WiFi issues about a month ago that still aren't resolved. Waiting to hear back from sales@goretroid still but that experience doesn't make me want to jump into another of their products just yet

@@RootSuitMan It took well over a month, maybe two, but they FINALLY released a software update that fixed it

Thanks for this. Already having a RP2+, I was debating getting this. The slight performance jump doesn't really warrant giving up on the 2+, imo. I'll wait until their next installment.
Certainly not a slight performance boost, it’s pretty significant.
Me too iam waiting for the next version. Rp2+ can still play psp but not at x3 but thats still ok. The next rp should be better with ps2
@@maxiynacho I guess it depends on what you're looking for. My RP2+ plays everything I want to throw at it just fine. If the 3+ could handle more PS2, GC, etc., I guess I'd call that significant enough to spend more.

Just got mine. It's like a jack of all trades device. I can play emulators up to some 3ds and ps2 games. With the 256 gb sd card, I manage to download tons of more roms than my gaming phone which lacked the memory expansion.
Native android is better than I expected.
But the best thing is the PSplay. I tinkered with the saturation and the experience looks beautiful.

Harvest Moon Magical Melody (GC)
Skies of Arcadia (DC)
SMT: Digital Devil Saga (PS2)
Thanks and definitely appreciate the review thus far.
Skies of Arcadia DC runs on the retroid pocket 2+ so it should be good on this more powerful device.
Dds, dq8 I could not get running well on my rp2+ as an FYI.
DQ 8 won’t run. It runs at 1.5 resolution on Odin ( most games run at 2.5) so I doubt it will run natively on RP3+
@@awesomereviews1561 I've since found another RUclipsr who demoed dq8 on the RP3+, and it looked pretty good. There was some occasional minor slow down, but nothing to keep it from being playable based on what he showed.
That said, I'd still love a second opinion.
Thx for the review. This looks like a great device that can replace my aging PSP hardware. I've been holding off on a second device since the RP2.
Still holding out for the next iteration for mobile GC. I know the Odin is a thing but I would love to see the Pocket 4 and see where we are at
Odin doesn't fit in the pocket as well as retroid devices. To be fair this runs around 50% of gamecube. I've seen other youtubers run gamecube alot better than showcased here, they probably had to do some tinkering though.
Finally! The one I was waiting for!
When Retroid release a handheld with the dimensity 900 chip you will get the GC and PS2 at 60fps emulation you're looking for, this should be coming in a couple of months in the shape of the RP3s

Awesome review ETA PRIME always enjoy your content.
Great video once again! I personally feel like more people prefer Moonlight over Steam Link for in-home streaming so I would love to see the average hardware decoding latency from Moonlight to understand what the chips in this kind of devices are able to do
I ordered a RP3+ on the 16th before any reviews came out (maybe besides Mjolnir’s, but don’t quote me on that one), and I was already saying this is the handheld for me as a skipped the RP3.I had an RP2+ and loved it, but it was too small and didn’t seems to have the performance I wanted, but now I am so happy I spent the money on the 3+ and cannot wait for mine to ship!
I’m going to wait and see what the KTR1 or the Pocket 4 or 4 Plus offer. Or something from Anbernic. Hopefully Anbernic will offer something else with stacked shoulder buttons and improved internals that go up to at least Wii emulation.
reminds me of the purple transparent Gameboy color that came out with pokemon yellow
I'd love to see how this performs on the big screen with the hdmi out and a wireless controller
Probably just fine for single player titles.Don’t expect too play Black ops Cold War or Halo infinite and everything will be fine.
@@mj-7444 it's basically a sub $100 phone in a handheld console housing, can't expect it to run pc games lol.
I'm still annoyed at the start select positions on this device, I was super excited for the 3 initially until I found that out (the stick placement on the 2 stopped me from getting that)
I have a RP2+ since january and I preordered in my country the RP3+ and this is the best console ever for that price, the Odin almost doubles the price because of taxes and customs and Logitech it's only available in USA, so the RP3+ it's the best one to buy right now, I expect to have it in mid december if everything goes well
Pretty impressive jump in performance on those synthetic benchmarks! Very tempted to pick one of these up.
Just ordered the 16-bit! Looks like it'll be the quickest model to ship out too which is nice.
@@AJDOLDCHANNELARCHIVE my blue one already shipped got tracking
What matter is that it still can’t run GC full speed. Synthetic benchmarks are worthless.
@@YouJGSousa I think at this price point the performance is warranted.
You'll have to pay 2x the price for solid GC/PS2 performance with something like the upcoming AYA Neo Air Plus (Intel i3 version).
Being able to play select GC/PS2 at 0.5 resolution on this device is still quite good considering the screen size.

How do I get all the games on the rp3??? And do the games save?
Oh man now I'm gonna need one of these thanks for showing me this
It may change in the future, but at the current price range I do think it cuts dangerously close to the point where getting an Odin Lite would make more sense
I only just got an RP2+, it's still fantastic with Dreamcast and N64 emulation. I'm probably gonna wait until an RP4 releases.
Love the design. PSP emulation got me tempted. If it played GC and PS2 well with widescreen hacks, I would've ordered this today!
There's a sale right now on their website. I picked one up with the dome buttons for $164 shipped.
I'm still a little bit salty about the RP3+ because I finally received the RP3 like 3 weeks ago but after checking some reviews for it, I would not have taken advantage of the extra power as i mainly wanted It for older consoles up to DS so it's not that bad. Even the 2+ was enough but I like the extra screen space even if It's just black, I've been using It to set up retroarch shortcuts and the Start+Select buttons
There are Leaks that the next RP3S and RP3S+ coming early next year with the Same Strong GPU than the Ayn Odin Lite.
I rather stick with Other Companys like Ayn
Are the controls okay? Retro Game Corps says the buttons or sticks are not that good compared to Anbernic.
@@KWPZ21 It feels exactly like a Nintendo Switch. So some people really hate those clicky style buttons and d-pad (as opposed to the mushy ones on most controllers). I like them a lot myself. Haven't used any Anbernic handhelds so can't say if their joysticks are better, but the sticks on the RP3 are definitely just... acceptable.
Did the rp3 cone with a game store and preinstalled games ?
@@jarquezknight9169 Not other than the Google Play store, but the whole point is that once you start dumping ROMs yiu've pretty much got more games than you could ever play.
It's definitely coming,there so close to getting it totally playable.
30% playable games of Gamecube and PS2 is disappointing to me especially when you consider how much these handhelds release. I'll hold off and wait till we have something powerful enough to emulate the more demanding systems.
Just wondering, why is it that every time one of the these new handhelds is released it's always the same exact games that are tested...aren't there other games that can used to showcase that are just as demanding? Please don't take this as a knock, I enjoy your channel and the content you provide.
i was really curious about that specific color, and that purple looks really nice. it's the kind that i want unlike the odin's that looked like washed atomic purple. it's similar to the transparent purple n64 controller.
Your the man thanks for the review I've made up my mind im keeping my baby
You mention it's the same CPU as the Tab A8, do you have any thoughts comparing the two directly, is the control surface worth it compared to a larger screen?
I got a Tab A8 fairly recently (3GB model) and I was a little disappointed in how sluggish it feels and the overall performance. Also it's cumbersome and heavy compared to even other 10 inch tablets I've used, which makes it bad for handheld gaming IMO.
@@mcrecordings typical Samsung scamming people in broad daylight
Neato. Good to know Steam Link seems to work pretty well.
I would imagine what ever comes next will be upwards of 200 bucks (especially with people looking for the "next steam deck",) so this seems like the best you're likely going to get in this price range for a while. Tempting, because I prefer the symmetrical controls to all these Switch rip off designs with the off set analogs, but I just don't have the cash for it.
I'd rather have the steam deck tho because I can just buy the games like normally would without having to learn how to install emulators also I'd rather play newer games

Great Video. Do you think that it can runt the 3 Sly Cooper games at 1x and safe would be cool to know as they are pretty much my favorite ps2 games.
i ended up with a RP3 and a Ayn Odin lite and i have to say i like the Odin lite a lot more. The RP3 has a great look and i really dont mind the controls (the select and start being on top is fine. people have blown that way out of proportion) My issue is the RP3 is just really uncomfortable to hold compared the the Ayn. I know i could probably print a grip or something but that feels like it defeats the point of the system. Also the screen is just such a down grade from the odin lite when it comes to text. the colors on the Rp3 are great and if u have better eyes than me you might be fine with it but the 1080p and extra inch of screen makes a big difference for me.
I'd happily get an Odin if there was any chance of it arriving before 2024...
This is much more portable though, so I think it's a slightly unfair comparison.
@@mahoganywolf8843 I mean after u throw them both in a case neither is really pocketable but both fit in a bag pretty nicely. Both are way more portable than say a switch. Actually the best case I could find for the rp3 is a switch light case. Honestly I bought the rp3 because I was sick of waiting on the Odin but the minute the rp3 shipped I got a shipping notice for the Odin. I very rarely find myself in a place where portability is more important than ergonomics. At least to the decide between the rp3 and Odin. The Odin is like holding a early psx controller with out the wrap around, the rp3 is like holding a cell phone sideways or a switch without a 3rd party grip.
How do I get all the games on the rp3+??? And do the games save?
@@Skellz the rp3/+ is just a android device so u can just hook it to a computer thru usbc and drag and drop the Roms to a folder either on the internal memory of sd card. I put Roms on a sd card instead of the internal memory to leave that faster memory for android games that will benefit from it. Most if not all micro sd cards are going to read faster than any retro console could.
@@Skellz saving is part of the emulator. Most Roms will store the in game saving bit most emulators also offer save states that can be written and loaded on the fly
When a nostalgic emulator comes out portable and affordable AND powerful similarly to the steamdeck, you know I'm gonna support it, wallet full or not
The only two downsides for me are the Start/Select button placement and Android-only firmware (I prefer Linux because of it's simplicity and I think that Linux just suits better for that type of devices). Everything else about RP3+ is so awesome that I think that maybe it'll be my next handheld.
Android systems better as you can play all the top mobile android games
All I've been waiting for is good psp emulation. I think this is the one
I love the overall form factor for this system. The Retroid 2+, personally, is still my favorite design as it feels most similar to the 3DS XL (and I am a fan of that for the most part), but the power is just not enough for what I want to start emulating with the pocket 2. PS2, Game Cube, and all the ones below, are kind of my target and while it doesn't play all of them without some tweaking, I am pleased it works at all. I have a question though, is it a software or hardware issue that has the most effect on if something works or not? I ask because I am deciding on getting this or not - and if it will never be able to successfully run PS2 and Gamecube games - the hard ones specifically - well, I may wait.
. I like the look of this, although the Start button at the top will take time getting used to. Do you feel I should wait or go for this considering everything?
Well - I caved and bought one today. I chose the Frost Blue.
Do you have a good guide or community who works with these systems? I may have set up questions.
Nice, yet another machine with a decently performing Unisoc T618. Cheap Chinese tablets with this SoC are still surprisingly high performers (for the price).
