I didn't expect it to be THIS GOOD! (Retroid Pocket 3 Review)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 авг 2024
- Oh my gosh you guys. Look at this! It’s the Retroid pocket 3! It’s supposed to be pretty amazing. It runs android, it plays all your old retro games, and it supposedly can handle all of the newer retro systems like N64, and even PSP, and it can do Dreamcast, and some GameCube, and PS2. All on a great little android device with a big beautiful screen that only cost $130. Could this really be true?

Did you see??? He called out Russ! I hear they're going to fight after school by the swings!
Nerd fight! Mario World speed run race, loser gets a wedgie!
The sponsor really got me 😂
Good one. I'm sure it will cease being a joke soon at this rate :)
The extra goodies are for early adopters. Since you got the SD card, that means you ordered in August. September buyers don't get the SD card, and retroid will slowly be reducing the goodies down to only the screen protector.
Great video! I enjoyed the video and I’m happy to hear about how capable it is with psp emulation 😁
I loved the psp and wanted to experience some of the games I used to play and this device is perfect for it. GBA and PC Streaming is amazing too! Hyped to get mine 🥳
Thanks for the top tier video 😁
have been tinkering with mine for about a week now , kept the buttons as is and really really loving the psp side of it!
Retro Game Corps is cool, but your channel is my jam! I like that you're much more straightforward about things and don't BS people. You've sold me on it.
I didn't get the Miyoo Mini Plus till I saw your review and walk throughs.
Loved the review. Looking it up some of the stuff that came with yours were some sort of early bonus. Any orders from October and on only gets a screen protector.
Ah that makes sense
I got one too in the orange (yellow) color and love it! Easily my favorite pocket emulator. Great review!
I'm jealous. I wish I got the orange one.
Yo! Sup Dweeeeeeb! I think they designed it to be more aerodynamic because they want you to throw it easier in the trash once Retroid Pocket 4 comes out.
Ah that's smart, planning for future aerodynamics. Good job RP team!
Agree. I have the pocket 2+ and was going to get a 3 when I saw the updates came out. Despite the ergo improvements I'm glad I didn't jump ship considering a + model came out soon after. Waiting till the 4 comes and it's capable of handling ps2 and GameCube at least 80%. Be nice to be able to play those ps2 classic on the go instead of on my pc
@@aRANDOMqUICKIEgunsandfun why don’t you get an Odin then. It plays pretty much everything on PS2 and and you can go up the resolution X3 on the easier games to emulate.
Looks like this joke didn't age too well since we got the 3+ and now the flip lol
A whole video dedicated to my absolute favorite system ever! The PSP!? Yes, Tech Dweeb, please do! I have an Ayn Odin that can run PSP games amazingly well, but any tweaks you can provide might help out there as well. I look forward to it! Honestly, everyone's reviews being down on its PSP emulation was why I didn't get one. Because even though I have an Odin, I can't ever get enough handhelds.
As far as I can tell this is the cheapest system that offers good PSP performance at a 16:9 ratio, with the added benefit of being very pocket friendly.
What are your favorite PSP games? Which would you like to see in my test vid?
@@TechDweeb Well, when it comes to PSP, I tried out a lot of stuff. Anything you wanna play would be cool. As for my favorite games? There's MotorStorm Arctic Edge, Split/Second, Syphon Filter, Out Run, Lunar Silver Star Harmony, Ys Oath in Felghana, Ace Combat X, Mega Man Maverick Hunter X, Daxter, Ratchet and Clank Size Matters, Grand Theft Auto Chinatown Wars, X-Men Legends 2, Marvel Ultimate Alliance, the WipeOut games, any of the Armored Cores, any Monster Hunter, Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker... my list goes on, Tech Dweeb. I'll stop here.
I loved the video, informative and funny at the same time, just suscribed to your channel, look forward to more hilarious and informative videos.
I just got a RP3+ and I agree with you about the start/select button placement. I don't see a problem with them and think they are easy to get too despite everyone complaining about them.
Yup. It's just muscle memory. Play with it for a day and it'll feel totally natural.
My first handheld was a *GBA* in the early 2000s.
I got a Korean *GP2X F100* some years later and a Chinese *Dingoo a320* shortly after.
I've been addicted to such gadgets for a _long time..._
The GP2X looks sweet for the time!
"In the future I hope we get an upgrade rp3 plus with maybe an upgrade processor" well, that didn't take long. Looking forward to your review of the RP3+ :)
It arrived today! I'm gonna test it for a few days before making a vid. Expect it some time next week I think.
Bets video I've watchednon deciding whether to purchase one. Thanks
I don't have one and I'm not sure I'll ultimately get one because I already have a pocket go, a steam deck, and an rg351mp. That being said, I completely agree with you on the ergonomics including the position of the start and select button. Those make complete sense to me and I'm not sure why they have gotten so much negative focus with other reviewers. You might consider doing some kind of a written guide for people who do buy this( possibly like me -why am I like this?) providing information on how best to tweak the PSP settings. That will probably come in handy to people who ultimately get one
That's a good reason to pass, handheld overload! Good idea about the written guide. I actually write all my scripts out beforehand so it would be easy for me to turn my articles into videos. I might make myself a website at some point.
I’m honestly having a blast with the rp3. Playing goldeneye mods, Dreamcast games I never got to play, amazing and atmospheric doom mods (looking at you unloved) playing quake 3 online for the first time, revisiting childhood Pokémon games, playing those old school gta games on the tv using the hdmi connection (gta liberty city stories) and of course playing battle front 2 (psp) both modded and original on tv is absolute bliss. It really can do so much so well
I love Oreos and Root Beer! Great video!! I appreciate the in-depth review!
If no one has told u.. U have the voice of an angel and ur reviews are awesome keep up the great work
I just suscribed to your channel and gave you thumbs up. Great work you have made. Now I will wait for the special PSP video on Retroid Pocket 3, and the settings to run God of War on its best performance 🙂
Thanks buddy! That video is coming soon, I have a few other videos in line before that but it won't be too long, stay tuned :)
Yes please do a video on PSP emulation! Still waiting on my retroid pocket 3 and your video wil help distract me from the excruciating wait and hype me up for the device haha
PSP works great on the phone you probably already own
I sucked at video games (except Dr. Mario, Pinbot, Pilotwings and the original Mario Kart) back in the olden times, and still do. Last system I had was SNES, before being gifted a Switch for my 40th birthday a couple years ago, and getting a Miyoo Mini last year. My laptop has a GPU, but I only use it to run professional 3D modelling software. All to say, I'm hardly your target audience--and yet, I really enjoy your videos, your graphic design sensibility, your humor and good nature, and imagining I don't suck at video games when I watch them. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for coming along for the ride! 🤓
Exciting to hear about the PSP games!
Stay tuned!
You've got a new sub, you bloody nerd. I'm gonna buy this device and I hope to get see your PSP video soon.
Thanks... I think... 🤓
Talking about the speakers, why does these handhelds still don't make them like phone speakers. Even cheap smartphones have small good enough speakers that can use few millimeters on the front face.
I'm with ya.
@TechDweeb The replacement Membrane based PCBs are excellent imo. I much prefer the feel of them. They even make the rather harsh L1 and R2 buttons a bit softer. It's a shame to hear so many RUclips reviewers and Reddit users dismissing them. I consider myself very fortunate to be in the early adopters to have received them. Maybe give them a go.
Yeah I read through the reddit comments on them. Seems most people prefer the dome style, but those who like the membrane REALLY like it. I might make a separate video trying out both, might be fun to have a live reaction or something.
They should have kept it separate so the rp3 is priced lower... They only Included it cuz taki complained but most ppl aren't going to care or want to switch it out.
So I didn’t preorder this device, I bought it afterwards. I got the black one which is a metal like shell. I did buy the board and button replacements once they became available again knowing well I prefer squishy buttons over clicky ones. That being said once I got the device, I really don’t mind the dome switch buttons on this device, a side reason I bought new buttons are because I thought the device would look awesome with a black shell and the purple 16 bit US buttons.
Your videos just keep getting better and better, keep it up pimp!!!
I love this video, great review
Hey Tech Dweeb! If you set the system to silent by pressing the volume up and screen off button together, it turns off the annoying startup noise while still letting you play games with the volume up. :)
No way! That's freaking awesome, thanks so much!
I whould buy this for Gran Turismo 1/2 alone
Man i loved old GT series
If you go to the volume settings and turn down the notification volume, it will make the intro when you first turn the handheld on not so loud. Or you could always just turn that volume all the way down.
Awesome review! I also believed that it cannot run PSP games at 2x resolution.
Great video Dweeb!! Hey would love to see your psp setup for this thing!Love the size of the device!!
PSP video coming very soon!
I love my Steam Deck but this might be nice to have something a little more pocketable. I am a huge fan of the PSP, so much so that at one point I had 6 of them. I kept saying I wasn't going to jailbreak the next one but did anyway. I also have a PSP Go. PSP looks amazing on this device!
It's a really solid PSP for sure. And definitely a little more pocketable than the steam deck 😏
I was curious to take the device for PSP games and I really want to see some performance with your tweaks for reference.
Can you also check GTA Android ports if possible?
Can't wait for Taki Udon to stop whinning and do a proper Retroid Pocket 3 review LOL!
Goood review, I love to tweak too… May be more than gaming 😅
I recently buy a second hand rp2, I’ve been disappointed about 2 things compared to my Miyoo Mini :
- first the boot time : the miyoo mini boot in about 16 seconds, the boot time of the rp2 seems infinite !
- android… I’m not fan, I think I prefer linux consoles, I feel more free on it.
Yeah I'm kinda with ya. I think the RP2+ lends itself more to a Linux frontend rather than android, mostly because of the screen and power of the device means it's more of a limited experience anyways.
His voice is adorable. It can't be real tho
🤫
Just ordered one love that android option
Hi tech I waited until it went on sale on Amazon for Retroid pocket 3 today it went on sale from 149.99 to 135.99 plus $10 coupon I quickly grab it I’m excited to get it thanks for the review.
Nice!
The thing with PSP is once you play 2x at locked 60fps (which most phones can do), it's hard to go back to anything less. I'm still waiting for a good budget handheld to do this.
The Odin is amazing. I have the Base model. Better then RP but more expensive.
@@PSUNATION The Cheapest Phone SD 870 or 8th Gen 1 Motorola Brand is better :) just buy a controller :)
I play N64 on my phone instead of my N64 just because it looks so nice upscaled
I shied away from the RP3 because of what people were saying about the PSP support, as that would be the main thing I would want it for, thanks for the additional info, i might get an RP3 after all…
I've been playing PSP all day. It works great! With each game you will need to go through the settings to find the perfect optimal configuration but not a single game I've played won't run at full speed at 2x resolution, except for God of War that has to be locked at 30fps but it's still totally playable.
Great video but I've already got the Pocket 2+, so no mad rush to get this one. Having said that the new second stick and design is great. Sure they'll be a 3+ soon enough.
Very true. I really hope they give us an upgraded processor and a bit more system storage in the + version 🤞
Hey Alex. I bought a retroid 2 plus and have owned it since April but haven't done anything with it. Are you aware of any by that would show an ignorant person like myself in how to get emulators and roms. If not are you aware of a preloaded unit that I should get? Or by chance do you live in Arizona and want some money to set mine up for me? I am looking at the king with the green skull and glowing eyes that has 49 to 117 thousand games or something called chuwi something or handhelds preloaded that can connect to TV my choice would be I guess the anbernic 353 p or m or v with 35 thousand games. What would your choice be if all the units you know about?
I loved my rp2+ so much that I gave it away so someone else can experience it. That and I have an odin and steam deck
I use this with shadow pc and I love it, plus I can touch zoom on it if I want when I play
Never heard of that but I'll check it out
@@TechDweeb it's a service to rent a gaming pc launched via app. I open shadow it auto configures to controller and play steam in big picture
and surprisingly the battery life is much better than when I play games right on the RP3 console itself
Mans sounds straight outta Ed,Edd and Eddy! 👌
@TechDweeb Looking forward to that PSP focused video btw! (Please include Tomb Raider Anniversary).
Also, are you aware of the frontend Daijishō - it's the cherry on the cake of this device.
Yeah, I saw ETA Prime's video on it and I liked what I saw. I really should check it out.
Nice review, thank you. May I ask what the startup time is from power off (not sleep). Thanks!
Approximately 30 seconds
@@TechDweeb Ouch, that's significantly slower than the Miyoo Mini. Thanks for the reply!
24:19 What in the world!!!... 🥴
Dude I did not need to know that.
I don't mind, nothing wrong with your personal life. But,
I have wife and kids and I like your videos showing the latest tech for gaming, I haven't played games in years.
I may not be like you guys with tech stuff but it's nice to be up to date. You know. 😏👍
2x Resolution is how I played GOW works perfect favourite psp game back in the day besides gta of course haha
Only just started the vid so I am sure you answer this, but the biggest question I have is if it is worth upgrading from the RP2+?
I own a rp2+ and I'm probably going to sell it and get the 3
So I bought the black one like a day before the launch of the 3 +. When it came in the mail Thursday, it’s actually an aluminum shell or metal feeling shell, not plastic. I did not know it was going to not be plastic, and none of you RUclips reviewers seem to have black one, so I wasn’t sure if you guys knew they have a metal shell option.
Oh crazy. I wonder if it's some metallic paint or something.
@@TechDweeb yeah I can’t tell if it’s like a full metal, I’ll know when I put the purple buttons on it. If I could let you hold it I would, or if I could get a feel for the other ones.
I too am a big fan of playing GBA games on these babies. I know list videos aren't your thing, but I would love to see you do some kind of GBA orientated episode in the future.
I just might! I've done it in the past. In my original Bittboy review I did my top 10 Gameboy games. I've been considering doing some other PC gaming and retro gaming videos that aren't just hardware.
@@TechDweeb I'd like to see more of your takes on modding handhelds. I just got my new Miyoo buttons from sakura and I love how much better if feels to play with matte buttons. I got into "tuning" so much after seeing your DIY video that I'm now trying to create some PS-style controller handles with a built-in speaker.
Quick question, Tech Dweeb. When you were playing The Simpsons for PS2, was that a game that ran good, or was it at least playable?
I didn't try Simpsons on the PS2, that was the Gamecube version. And it was playable there. Didn't run GREAT, but I played for like 10 min and it was acceptable.
Haven't ever owned one but this one looks cool.
the sticks are on bottom which i like, but theyre thin and small compared to the ps1/2 pads on the joysticks, feel wierd and a little dissappointing
I'm sure this has been asked before, but is this your normal voice of a character you put on to match the theme of the channel? Great content by the way, this is the first video I've seen from you. I recently ordered the new Retroid Pocket Flip and it should be here next week
Can u please check the psp performance of this device on the latest ppsspp version? They say the performance is better now on RP3.
The rounded edges I think give it more pocket-ability.
True. It is very pocketable.
please make a psp settings guide
Something about this device really calls to me. It covers all the main bases, big screen, solid construction, good form factor and size, good battery. It's powerful enough to cover PSP/N64/Dreamcast, pushing beyond retro products where the analogue sticks become useful. The size of the screen suits PSP and GBA really well, which are peak portable devices. Anything GC/PS2 or beyond (i.e. switch) can be streamed from a PC. And it all comes in at around $150 including shipping.
The big question becomes if this is a better product than Odin Lite/Pro (or Loki in the future) for the money...? Is Gamecube and PS2 functionality worth paying twice the price?
I definitely don't think those devices are worth the money. This is the best low end, and if you want high end then go for the steam deck or a high end phone. This also has the pocket-factor.
@@TechDweeb yeah i feel the same way, although the SBC community seems to adore the odin series.
Thank you for being honest about the game art, nobody ever talks about it they just say "download roms and you're good to go" but they don't tell you how to scrape game art or that most of the time when it's scraped it looks like dogshit. Honestly that's the only downfall out of the box for me, everything else seems amazing
It's especially frustrating when there's no reason it shouldn't work. Like when the game name is totally fine, but the frontend can't find the art, but you find it yourself no problem because it's literally the first google result :/
@@TechDweeb even now I have issues with all games being scraped but some worked and that's better than none.
How bout no one tells you you have to be a computer programmer and have these games already on a computer and have WiFi and a Google account and a memory card. It’s a toy for those who live and breathe gaming and have to much time in there hands. I got it to PLAY WITH NOT TO PROGRAM. I don’t have a computer or WiFi and it did not come with a memory card or screen saver
I have a question! The retroid "community document " at 21:29 that keeps track of best settings for games- is there anything like this for linux based devices like anbernics for instance? (I have a 353ps and i sometimes struggle to figure out settings especially for psp and dreamcast.. i spend way too much time trying settings because i am a newbie at this)
Hey Dweeb! I was wondering if your planning on reviewing the rp3+
Definitely. I have it on order, supposed to arrive next week. I will test it for several days before I start working on the review to make sure my info is solid.
@@TechDweeb awsome
Really excited to see it!
Hey TechDweeb. I am looking for a retro handheld for me and my friend to battle each other in all the Pokemon games. Which do you recommend? this is for GBA and DS Pokemon games
Well, you'll definitely need wifi. I think this RP3, or even the older RP2+ would be a good choice. Of course if you already have cell phones you could use a telescopic controller like I showed in this video: ruclips.net/video/2nM1Pyq1FYA/видео.html .
@@TechDweeb thanks!! We have iPhone unfortunately 😩. So we will get the handheld! Thanks for the help!
Look into pokemmo
I’m gonna get one and I’m new to this whole emulation stuff, don’t have any idea how to add games and how many files etc, feeling sad 😔. I’ve tried looking for a video where there’s a tutorial on how to add the roms and what’s needed, no luck
The Retro Game Corps starter guide should be enough for you to get started:
ruclips.net/video/koUzJWWqScY/видео.html
It's for the RP2+ but it will work for the RP3 too.
@@TechDweeb does it explain how to add Roms, since I’m a beginner I don’t know anything
09:05 you really make me laugh 😂
Would a budget smartphone like the Samsung A04s or the Samsung M23 offer similar performance? The first is new and goes for about $170, the M23 may be found used (therefore cheaper than its original $230 price). Many thanks!
Yes definitely! A budget smartphone is a great emulation device. I was actually thinking of doing a video on that topic
@@TechDweeb
Yay 😁😁
I would LOVE to see benchmarks AND a tutorial on a budget Android phone!
Now I want to taste root beer. Which can't be found in my country. Well thanks Techdweeb for making me crave unobtainium!
I'm eyeing this device, so I'm really glad to hear your take on it. I like Linux, but they are really hitting that price to performance sweet spot with this one.
One thing about their launcher no one really notices in my opinion is app installation. They made it easy for a new user to install pretty much everything they could want and that's great, but where is the description? What emulation newbie knows every app on that list? Those of us who recognise at least 90% of them can set them up ourselves, we already know what's out there, what mmjr means, why you have to try open microwave on it. Man, do the ports video in your style! That could be awesome.
Hey man, can you use the rp3 as the base console for that home made arcade you made?
Yes you can! I did test it. There is a little bit more latency with this thing, over the micro HDMI, but it's not a deal breaker. You can use it and it works fine. I might make a video about it.
Thanks for your review, dweeb! Would you consider making a video for the rp3 with the Daijisho launcher?
Yeah maybe. I just installed it, I've had a few people ask about it so I figured I should check it out. Can I ask, what do you like about that launcher?
@@TechDweeb me personally I like the look of it. I've been trying to decide which launcher I want for my RP3 and I can't decide lol
I'm addicted to the same!
Love the video dweeb. I want one. I see pricing as about 180 for the 3gb ram model. We have a lot in common, I too have been collecting some of these awesome Chinese handhelds. This one might be a bit complicated for me to figure out everything. I couldn’t do anything without the help of several guys on youtube like you. Thank you. I have a very small channel that I have fun with. Check it out if you have a moment. Finally, How do you feel about frozen pizza? Jack’s are good if you add a lil extra cheese!
It's not hard to figure out, you'll be fine. It's not nearly as complicated as lots of the custom firmware and stuff I did for my other devices. This one is android so it's all straightforward. And of course check out my Dig setup guide if you need a hand with that ;) ruclips.net/video/2nM1Pyq1FYA/видео.html
Frozen pizza is a scam perpetuated by the freezer industry to sell you more freezers.
wat is the best emulater hand foe power on it can play phone games likw for wii or wii u
I have no idea tbh. Probably a used mid-high end modern phone would be the only way to get portable wii emulation for sub $200.
LMAO the sponsor spot joke. All that aside a great device. If I didn't already have a steam deck & a miyoo min... & and RP2+... I would consider one of these. This console is a pretty solid deal under $150. This system is a BIG middle finger to the EXTREMELY expensive Logitech handheld.
But the Odin and Razer handhelds definitely outclass this, but obviously at a premium cost.
Good point about the other handhelds. I think the Odin pro & lite are probably in the same price vs performance category as this thing, this is just the lowest priced one in the stack, and considering the price it can do a lot that none of the other devices at this price can do, and none of the other $120ish devices have a screen nearly as good as this.
@@TechDweeb The next milestone to hit is, full speed native gamecube for less than $150
I could use that card if you don't need it...
I would love a system like this one that allows me to link with other players and play things like Pokémon ans trade Pokémon. Also play some of those online shooters or split screen games with friends from a far.
I wanted to get the RG351MP but this kills it
The biggest inconvenience is RP3 is Android 11, and have no rooted, so you can not adb push games to your sdcard, and RG353 is Android 11, it's rooted, so RG353 have not this issue
How long did it take for you to receive it after it got Shipped?
Ordered Aug 23rd, shipped Sept 23rd, arrived Oct 11th.
Having the 3GB RAM does it really make a huge difference in performance?
I wish I had a 2 GB version to compare them against each other. It seems like a pretty big difference compared to the RP2+ to me but that might also be the difference in Android 9 versus 11
The RP3 needs a good grip that has access to the volume and home buttons. The device is TOO smooth. Almost flew out of my hand when I got up from sitting in the fetal position.
Haha yeah I'm also noticing how slippery it is
Can in save the Game Progress ? or i have Always to Start new? Thanks
Yes, every single system lets you save your state and use regular save games.
love it, but the placement for the speakers and start/select buttons really sucks
also i hate people dont add volume scroll wheels anymore
I'm with ya.
all beautiful and all right what you say about the rp3, great console, but what no youtuber says is that the retroid has not yet put on the site the spare parts for the rp3 and does not even sell the conductive membranes for the rp2 plus.Frankly, retroid has a management of products without any sense, I mean what is the point of selling all the spare parts of the rp2 but not of the rp3?mysteries of Chinese minds !!!
If only the the RP3 could run 30FPS gamecube at native at full speed. Perhaps 1 more generation and we will have full speed gamecube in a dedicated handheld for under $150. Although, you could do that with a used phone and a clamp controller to be fair.
I'm with ya. It'll happen soon. In a generation or two we'll be emulating Gamecube & PS2 at full speed. This stuff is advancing so quick it's crazy.
My retroid pocket 3 plus won't play mame arcade what should I do
I admit I would probably like the other buttons
Android on Handhelds... You can write books about the shortcomings. The GPD XD+ was the only device where everything came together and since then... Well... Nothing.
I considered getting that one on many occasions.
I would love to see it do some mario kart with 4 bluetooth controllers! Please?
can you get emulates on pc or laptop and if you can could you make a video how to and is it safe like how do they get money
You can definitely get emulators on PC or Laptop. They're safe if you get them from well known reputable sources. Here's a video where I explain the easiest way to get started with Emulation on a PC: ruclips.net/video/rw-_1-UyFko/видео.html
The developers of emulators usually don't get paid for their work, unless they release pro versions on the Google Play store for instance. It's a labour of love!
@@TechDweeb thank you :)
UNISOC Tiger T310!, pretty capable pocket emulation
Super super late to the table here, but sir tech dweeb could you please please make a video on setting this bad boy up? From start to finish? I've just received mine 3 days ago... and have factory reset it like 4 times already. I've been using Retro Game Corps video guide, but for some reason, your videos are easier for me to follow. I understand you're a busy person, so no hard feelings if you're not able to.
Can you play Pokemon 3ds games on the retroid?
What's those part for, I bought GPD Pocket 3 didn't have those parts
Only one ☝️ question : can i play any version of virtua striker on this ?
That's a Dreamcast game right? Every Dreamcast game I tried ran perfectly at full speed so I don't see why that one wouldn't
“You can emulate psp on other devices, but not on one this cheap”
Psp enters the chat
Joking, love your videos 😅
The only reason they included the extra buttons cuz taki udon complained about the regular ones.
Just cuz one person didn't like it, everyone else has to suffer and pay more cuz they weren't going to include it in the beginning.
I saw a reddit poll about the buttons, seems the vast majority of users who tried both prefer the dome style buttons anyways. :/
You Sound Like Chuckie Dad From the Rugrats.
about how long did it take to ship to you?
4 weeks to ship, then 3 weeks for shipment to arrive.
It's very easy for content creators to talk shit on RUclips about the RP3. Many of them have access to high-end products such as Steam Deck, Aya Neo and others that cost as little as a kidney.
For me, for what I paid for the RP3 I'm very happy, too bad I don't know how to configure all the emulators.
What problems are you having with which emulators? I'm thinking of doing a setup guide, even though all the other tubers did their guides, I think I probably have a different setup style than most.
@@TechDweeb I would like to play NeoGeo games. If I'm not mistaken, they need BIOS files, I tried putting them, but it didn't work
@@TechDweeb Also, I'm excited to see your video about setting up PSP games.
