@@Thekiddmarleythat’s the one I want bro, I have the mini just ordered the Rgb30 and have the rog ally, I am unsure if I’ll be getting a switch oled or a retroid pocket 4+
@@felixo95 I love my OLED I still have my Red box switch also which I gave to my sister, but the OLED, RGB30 and Retroid Pocket I use with my portable monitor and fight pad for a portable arcade cabinet. I just started incorporating the Ally into the portable setup.
Dude I love you 😂😂😂. Not only are the videos very well edited and the sound is fantastically adjusted, nobody would talk about something so confidently if it were actually like that. But that doesn't matter, because whoever you are in real life doesn't interest me, but TechTweeb is a genius and I really enjoy his videos. Thank you for your work and greetings from Germany. We all live in our mother's basement, otherwise we wouldn't have any money for beer! 💪
I second that! This channel has QUICKLY become my favorite gaming channel for all things emulation. Hilarious presentation and unique style. Wayta go TDweeb!!❤ ❤❤
@@TechDweeb Great video, but if I can add some criticisms. For your "omni device" instead of the Base SteamDeck, it would've made more sense to go with the ASUS ROG Ally. It's more powerful, and the display is more usable (120Hz for scrolling, 1080p for low-end use). Also it's WindowsOS which means it won't get compatibility issues like SteamOS does. Second point, so I'm a bit disappointed your pick for this category straight-up wasn't a Gaming PC. A well specced unit won't be obsolete for a decade, and will run the most amount of games. In fact it will run EVERY game, except exclusive titles from the PS5 (Switch2 and PS4 emulation is upcoming, XSX games can be accessed through the MS Store or xCloud). Those Mini PCs are actually NOT a good suggestion. They cost way too much for what you're getting (like an Intel NUC). So you either get VERY underpowered systems (Intel N100) or the competent ones (8740u) cost as much as a pre-built. The luggage/portable factor of those Mini PCs have their cost in both performance and price. Another point to make, is I would say the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro is classified as "pocketable". The hint is in the name. It's right on the limit, like the PS Vita Slim. If you go slightly larger like the Anbernic 505 or 556, yeah, definitely not pocketable then. And the last point to make, is the Logitech G-Cloud. Not too sure on this one. It is very comfortable and decent in many ways. Where it sucks is that, it's discontinued and hard to find, it's official price was bad so it's Street Price may not be good, it is a pretty underpowered device (QSD 768G), and lastly it is also not very capable. For all my criticisms of the SteamDeck, well, it's much more capable than any of the AndroidOS systems in terms of gaming. Yes, even the legendary AYN Odin2.
@@TechDweeb Okay, you will like this comment :D I actually asked myself this question a few months back. I did a lot of thinking. And I have min-maxed it for a solution. You should divide your electronics by Form-Factors and Ecosystems. So there's the obvious five types: Phone, Tablet, Laptop, Desktop, TV. And there's software walls/gardens from Apple, Google, Microsoft, Open-Source, and Other. And all these companies specialise in certain ways. The most optimal way is this: Phone - Google - AndroidOS Tablet - Apple - iOS Laptop - Microsoft - WindowsOS Desktop - Open-Source - Custom TV - Other/Proprietary - Sony And for me Kangal, personally, I've thought about the details and here is how it goes: - Pixel 8 Pro. Fits with Razer JungleCat to give you a pocketable console better than Retroid P4+. And a good phone experience. - iPad Mini 7. Use GameSir G8 controller. Waiting for the release with M1 chipset, Sideloading, and Emulation. And all those iOS Exclusive goodies. Apple has a monopoly on the tablet space for a good reason, the Android alternatives just aren't good. And you can swap this out with handhelds (Odin2, SteamDeck, ROG Ally) but it's hard to stick Apple anywhere else. - Frameworks 16 AMD. It's a great laptop that will stand test of time, and can be upgraded along the way. - Desktop PC. Custom Built. Specs as at least an AMD r7-7700 with RX-6800 and the usual. For software, Open-Source works best here, just dualboot it with Linux/Windows. High upon that list is the likes of ZorinOS. - TV. Now as I alluded to before, we want to access all those exclusive games and Apps. So last but not least is the PS5 Pro. It's coming and the sooner you're on the better, because the PS6 will be delayed for a long time.
Not gonna lie, I kinda went out of control once I came across this community. Ended up buying about 8 different devices. My first device was a 35XX but gave that to my sister. Ended up buying multiple Miyoo Mini's on sale. The MM and MM+ combo with Onion OS was my go-to for a while. Loved the ability to hot swap SD cards on those. Got the RG405M and ended up not liking it which is now collecting dust. Got the 35XX+ at launch and never touched it again. Then I caved in and bought the RP2S Metal on a whim. It quickly became my favorite retro handheld device so far. So much so, that it made me completely swap all of my games and saves over to this one device. There's just something special about the form factor, the premium metal build quality, beautiful screen, stereo speakers, HDMI out with screen casting available and the OS. It all feels like a cohesive package. Especially when compared to the 405M which feels like it was put together randomly. The RP2S covers all of the retro systems and games that I'd want to play. The only other handheld I use, which covers everything else, is the Ayaneo Air 1S. This thing is my baby. My pride and joy if you will. But yeah, I settled on 2 devices and I'm good on those... for now 😅
Just want to congratulate you for your content, it is funny, interesting, well mounted and your background has something really unique, every time a video pops out I click. For the wellbeing of humanity, please keep up your hard dedication, you deserve a ton, thank you so much!
When I was younger, I was one of "those" guys who actually carried a Gamegear in my pocket... I also had cargo pants.... My other cargo pocket had a spare pack of AA batteries.
Just got an RG533v, and along with my PC and Switch OLED I'm set. Thanks for these videos! They are continually entertaining and educational! Totally my favorite retro emulation channel.
Bought my Steam Deck because I wanted to get into PC gaming for cheap. And I love that I can do literally everything on it. I take it everywhere with me.
Your channel is a breath of fresh air in a Europa sized ocean of retro RUclips channels. Mmmm, now i see that written down, i can see it's not actually the clever comment I thought It'd be. Anyways, I subbed - the "you should start a fire" line in the pocket S video still has me laughing 20 minutes later mate.
My current setup: - RG35XX H, Miyoo Mini+, RP2S for pocketability - OG Switch for couch gaming - GTX 1050 Ti for desktop emulation and indie games (yes, I've had this one for quite a while) Wishlist: - A stronger couch device; probably an Odin 2 or maybe the RP5 if that has a nice price/performance ratio - A better GPU for my desktop so I can play some newer AAA games
My list is: Switch, Deck, PC, PS5. I agree you really only need 3, I would like to get a Miyoo Mini and probably will, but my phone does the trick when I have 'time', games like Dawncaster, Pawnbarian, and others keep me more than happy and sideloading Delta for some GBA games
My Trifecta: RG35XX (Today I would buy 35XX+) with 3D printed cover. Pocketable, cheap, sturdy, covers PS1 and under. Using Garlic OS and playing C64 and DOS games too. Retroid Pocket 3+ (Today I would buy 4 pro) Covers almost everithing I need in retro. Steamdeck for steam games. (Many retro / retro style games available on steam, you can run GOG on it)
Great introduction and presentation, you have a pretty good comedic timing! I also liked the aesthetics of the scenario and the pop-ups on the screen, worth a subscribe! But what sold me is the fact that you sound a lot like Zach Hadel lol Jokes aside, keep up with your content style, its great!
I bought a MM+ a few months back and won a logitech G cloud last month in a pringles competition and i have to agree. MM+ perfect on the go and G cloud just streams so well and the battery life is unrivaled
My Trifecta: 1.- Miyoo Mini Plus, Anbernic RG Nano (I'm gonna buy those after watch so many videos) 2.- Nintendo Switch (thinkin in acquire an Steam Deck in the future or something similar) 3.- My Rog Asus Laptop and PS5 👋😃 Cheers
Modern: Series X. Works perfect in my living room on TV. Couch: Nintendo Switch (2). Exclusives, kid friendly and the ultimate party games. Plus I buy al the games physical so it works everywhere all the time. Pocket: iPhone SE (2022) with Backbone controller. This gets the most hours. Playing gamepass, emulation, netflix games, apple arcade, remote playing xbox (scaled perfect on this screen).
I can't buy too much stuff because my wife will argue with me cause I'm buying junk that's going to end up being more junk. And it's unnecessary things that we don't need. And I have to be Responsible for our Kids.😩
Work on your frame, Broseph. You deserve to be happy, don’t cower before your woman. As long as she has what she needs and the kids have what they need, you have needs too.
That intro is everything. 😂by the way, you have now got me thinking about that middle device because I have something to cover the other ends. Thank you dweeb!
My killer combo line up is the Miyoo Mini Plus, Odin 2 Pro, a Laptop with Batocera, and Xbox series X. But if I was given to choose only one for gaming, I will choose my Odin.
Yay! Love for the underrated G-Cloud. The battery life on that system is EPIC. Nothing compares. They just recently gave the system video out capability, which means you can use Xreal glasses or a monitor and have an even bigger screen!
RG35XXSP (or H if you care about N64 and Dreamcast that cannot run all the games) and Steam Deck best combo imo the Steam Deck is my favorite gaming system of all time, I wish it would be officially sold in my country to acquire the OLED. I can also use the Steam Deck as a streaming system replacing the Couch Device category completely.
You awesome dweebs love your vids. For me I like your Channel and retro game corps equally. You make me buy retro handheld my first is 35xx. After I watch your Miyoo mini I bought plus immediately, bcoz I can’t find Miyoo mini.
How about a video on upscaling? A comparison video using a powerful enough handheld like the Odin 2. Side by side comparison between redream, nethersx2 and more.
Intro was awesome :D have a good time and lot of distance between you and some another frustrated guys! Not everyone gets your sense of humour I guess.
So what youre saying is you EDC a miyoo mini or miyoo mini plus lol I have a ROG AllyX and its perfect in so many ways! But its too large to carry with or pull out for short durations when traveling out day to day and waiting around. Thanks for the vid! I am thinking ill get a. RP2S and see if its pocketable for that slot. And i guess i have a solid desktop PC for my 3rd device. I hacked an old chromebox to running linux Bazzite for a retro game system on the TV for my partner. Was a fun project! Seems to be able to run up to Gamecube games mostly, but crashes for anything harder than that...
A hacked New 3DS makes for a fantastic pocket device. Lots of emulators, (standalone or Retroarch), natively runs 3DS games, DS roms, and GBA roms. You can install 3DS carts to storage, so you don't need to take them around with you. You can play some DS roms in true widescreen, (only stretches 2D stuff). Pictochat. You've got homebrew ports like, Quake 1 and 2, Diablo 1, 3D Space Cadet Pinball, Half Life, and... (checks notes) Sonic Mania, apparently? Oh, and Linux. There is a 3DS Linux distro.
For me,.I have two pocket devices, the RG35XX+ for most of my retro stuff, my hacked Vita for Vita, PSP and Ape Escape (I could play Retroarch on that too, but the RG I'd just a better experience), and then my plan is to round out the trinity with an as-yet-undecided handheld PC (I'm leaning towards the Legion Go for the screen and hardware versatility) to cover higher end emulation and modern games
For me it's: - Retroid Pocket Flip - all the retro plus some light Switch games (and also android ports - vampire survivor, Morrowind, Fallouts and similar). -Rog Ally - dock and handheld - pc games plus modern (and some older gen) systems - 3ds - for all DS and 3DS games that require both screens I have many more handhelds, but the limit here is 3 :)
Just found your channel after seaching the Miyoo mini + for mods... Love the video format and the delivery, great job earned my sub the second you said I wear Cargo pants because im 40...... BAHAHAHAA! great vid and will be seeing some of your other content. May all your rolls be Nat 20's
My favorite handheld devices alongside my midrange gaming pc from 2020 are currently my DS lite + R4 Card and my homebrew modded 3DS XL, the latter one doing surprisingly good with emulation of most older systems
6-700 for a PC is wayyyy out of my price range, as much as I'd love that more than anything... So here's the 3 devices I use, that I got with some financial help from loved ones. 1. Retroid Pocket 2+ for that pocketable life, also double as an android "phone" for me. 2. Steam Deck 64gb for it's flexibility, also doubles as my main computer thanks to a $15 dock I bought years ago for a phone. 3. Xbox Series S for TV gaming when the Deck isn't quite powerful enough. It was very cheap at $250 and I only have a 1080p display I got for free anyway. Maybe someday I'll recover and heal enough to work again and I'll be able to afford to build a PC, but for now this setup has me covered for almost everything.
Great video TechDweeb! I'd love to see/hear your opinion on how you feel about Controller grips for Phones/Tablets. It seems a lot of grips don't fit if you have a phone case, and I wonder if it would make a tablet feel ridiculously large.
When you did your intro I figure you would pick 3 by screen size ratio , Like 4:3 for retro games RGB30 square screen for PICO-8 and other square screen games, and 16:9 for modern games. But Nope I was far from right on this one. lol
I'm not into retro, here's my trifecta: PS5 - play exclusives, couch gaming, no installation hassles Switch OLED - exclusives, portability, local multiplayer PC - flexibility, be able to play War Thunder
I knew for sure the og miyoo mini and steam deck would be on this list but I am def very shocked to see the g cloud figured the 3rd one would be rp4 or odin 2
My combination is: 1. Anbernic RG35XX for games up to PS1 2. My own android smartphone (Galaxy S22) paired with the Razer Kishi V2 controller and Beacon frontend launcher for games up to PS2 3. A decent budget friendly but powerful PC, which is also used for emulation for games up to PS3 If you, like me, like to use your smartphone for emulation. I highly recommend using the Beacon frontend launcher. It keeps your whole library of emulated games, from various emulators you have installed, all in one place. Similarly on PC, I use Playnite to keep all my PC games and emulated games organized. I also have all of my emulated games nicely organized in folders on my external hard drive with a copy of playnite installer and playnite setup backup, so I can take it with me to my friends house and play on any PC pretty much instantly. I believe I have gone the cheapest route possible without compromising anything significant. Although, there was a lot of tinkering to get everything the way I wanted it. Which is something I love to do, but I know it isn't fun for everyone.
My top 3 is a desktop, a laptop and GPD Win Mini. I pocket the lightest 7" clamshell for the win! It still might be the lightest 7" handheld there is. I also use a portable 130W 25,000mah movespeed power bank from amazon which is on sale @ $40! I get loads of power that way.
Nice video concept! This year, I picked up both a Steam Deck (OG, used from a coworker) and an RG405V. Loving them both. Of course I have a Switch, PS5, Vita, 3DS, etc.
I'll take one of each. I'm starting to think it's time for me to start a puter build, probably going to do it in stages, maybe buy a part a month. Thanks for the links TD, I'm saving this viddy.

My killer combo line up is the Miyoo Mini Plus, Odin 2 Pro, a Laptop with Batocera, and Xbox series X. But if I was given to choose only one for gaming, I will choose my Odin.
"It has nothing to do with how many RG35XX pluses I have in my pocket."
"I have 3 btw"
Yay! Love for the underrated G-Cloud. The battery life on that system is EPIC. Nothing compares.
They just recently gave the system video out capability, which means you can use Xreal glasses or a monitor and have an even bigger screen!
The intro was so based that I had to sub. Also cuz your voice sounds like Phineas from Phineas & Ferb.
RG35XXSP (or H if you care about N64 and Dreamcast that cannot run all the games) and Steam Deck best combo imo
the Steam Deck is my favorite gaming system of all time, I wish it would be officially sold in my country to acquire the OLED.
I can also use the Steam Deck as a streaming system replacing the Couch Device category completely.
How the SP doing these days? Any annoying wear and tear?
You awesome dweebs love your vids. For me I like your Channel and retro game corps equally. You make me buy retro handheld my first is 35xx. After I watch your Miyoo mini I bought plus immediately, bcoz I can’t find Miyoo mini.
Thanks for saying so buddy! The MM+ is a legend, you're in good hands
How about a video on upscaling? A comparison video using a powerful enough handheld like the Odin 2. Side by side comparison between redream, nethersx2 and more.
AMAZING suggestion!
@@TechDweeb love the upscaling on my Odin 2, brings new life to older games.
Good mix. Personally, I'd suggest RG35XX(+) (for bigger hands) / Beelink SER5 MAX dual boot win+batocera / Steam Deck (or RP4Pro for lighter / less worrisome carry)
You've hurt my feelings with that intro! So jealous! 🥺🤣✌️
My set up:
RG35XXH
Logitech G Cloud
Switch
Xbox Series S
Steam Deck
Perfect!
@@TechDweeb do you have any accessories recommendations for any of the items in this video?
Not me watching this on my steam deck....
Intro was awesome :D have a good time and lot of distance between you and some another frustrated guys! Not everyone gets your sense of humour I guess.
Even though I don't use it much the Steam deck for the all in one device is spot on. My top 3 are the Switch, PS5 & Miyoo Mini. Thanks for the video.
So what youre saying is you EDC a miyoo mini or miyoo mini plus lol
I have a ROG AllyX and its perfect in so many ways! But its too large to carry with or pull out for short durations when traveling out day to day and waiting around.
Thanks for the vid! I am thinking ill get a. RP2S and see if its pocketable for that slot. And i guess i have a solid desktop PC for my 3rd device.
I hacked an old chromebox to running linux Bazzite for a retro game system on the TV for my partner. Was a fun project! Seems to be able to run up to Gamecube games mostly, but crashes for anything harder than that...
MM+, RP3/4, Steam Deck, Desktop PC is the ultimate combo
The deck is no joke. I finally bought my wife one after two years of trying to get her interested.
Got my Retroid Pocket Flip for my pocketable, a Lenovo Legion Go for my portable and power gaming, and a couple of Laptops for work/productivity
Haha jokes on you! I have my classic janko pants on and im holding 3 steamdecks in my pockets
That's what she said

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that this is the first video of yours that I’m watching and I subscribed within the first minute of it 🫶🏻
Thanks buddy, welcome!
One thing I like in this videos it's when you guys put on the names of the games that show up. Sometimes they look great and I don't know them 😬
Haha I'm the same! That's why I do it. I hate not knowing what game I'm looking at on the screen :P
Since I don't live in Canada anymore that fridge full of root beer is what hits me the most with unfiltered envy.
0:34 Its the fridge of root beer. Would have thought that was obvious
A hacked New 3DS makes for a fantastic pocket device. Lots of emulators, (standalone or Retroarch), natively runs 3DS games, DS roms, and GBA roms. You can install 3DS carts to storage, so you don't need to take them around with you. You can play some DS roms in true widescreen, (only stretches 2D stuff). Pictochat. You've got homebrew ports like, Quake 1 and 2, Diablo 1, 3D Space Cadet Pinball, Half Life, and... (checks notes) Sonic Mania, apparently?
Oh, and Linux. There is a 3DS Linux distro.
I have almost as much as you but 35XX H, pixel 6 with Gamesir g8 for comfort and x2s for portability and steam deck Oled is working well for me.
Just get a Steam Deck . Done and Done. GJ TechDweeb!!
Love the humor man
For me,.I have two pocket devices, the RG35XX+ for most of my retro stuff, my hacked Vita for Vita, PSP and Ape Escape (I could play Retroarch on that too, but the RG I'd just a better experience), and then my plan is to round out the trinity with an as-yet-undecided handheld PC (I'm leaning towards the Legion Go for the screen and hardware versatility) to cover higher end emulation and modern games
For me it's Console/PC, Odin 2/Powkiddy X55, Anbernic RG35XX.
For me it's:
- Retroid Pocket Flip - all the retro plus some light Switch games (and also android ports - vampire survivor, Morrowind, Fallouts and similar).
-Rog Ally - dock and handheld - pc games plus modern (and some older gen) systems
- 3ds - for all DS and 3DS games that require both screens
I have many more handhelds, but the limit here is 3 :)
Just found your channel after seaching the Miyoo mini + for mods... Love the video format and the delivery, great job earned my sub the second you said I wear Cargo pants because im 40...... BAHAHAHAA! great vid and will be seeing some of your other content. May all your rolls be Nat 20's
It's a good time to go back to retro gaming. Enjoying my Anbernic RG 35XX H.
My favorite handheld devices alongside my midrange gaming pc from 2020 are currently my DS lite + R4 Card and my homebrew modded 3DS XL, the latter one doing surprisingly good with emulation of most older systems
6-700 for a PC is wayyyy out of my price range, as much as I'd love that more than anything... So here's the 3 devices I use, that I got with some financial help from loved ones.
1. Retroid Pocket 2+ for that pocketable life, also double as an android "phone" for me.
2. Steam Deck 64gb for it's flexibility, also doubles as my main computer thanks to a $15 dock I bought years ago for a phone.
3. Xbox Series S for TV gaming when the Deck isn't quite powerful enough. It was very cheap at $250 and I only have a 1080p display I got for free anyway.
Maybe someday I'll recover and heal enough to work again and I'll be able to afford to build a PC, but for now this setup has me covered for almost everything.
This guy is ‘GREAT’ !
Here is a list of all of my emulation handhelds so far
SF2000
R40S PRO
Miyoo Mini+
Retroid Pocket 2s
Solid list!
@@TechDweeb the addiction is getting worse😭I CANT STOP BUYING THEM
Great video TechDweeb! I'd love to see/hear your opinion on how you feel about Controller grips for Phones/Tablets. It seems a lot of grips don't fit if you have a phone case, and I wonder if it would make a tablet feel ridiculously large.
bro that intro is actual comedy "the reasons that im better than you have nothing to do with how many rg355x pluses i have in my pocket😂😂"
When you did your intro I figure you would pick 3 by screen size ratio , Like 4:3 for retro games RGB30 square screen for PICO-8 and other square screen games, and 16:9 for modern games. But Nope I was far from right on this one. lol
DSi
Laptop T480
Desk PC
I can play on desk, couch, bed and power/water line (Idk how you say when need to pay services).
I'm not into retro, here's my trifecta:
PS5 - play exclusives, couch gaming, no installation hassles
Switch OLED - exclusives, portability, local multiplayer
PC - flexibility, be able to play War Thunder
I knew for sure the og miyoo mini and steam deck would be on this list but I am def very shocked to see the g cloud figured the 3rd one would be rp4 or odin 2
Yeah I'm surprised too. I never expected to love the cloud as much as I do but I would definitely choose it over the rp4 or the odin, personally.
I love the orange and black theme you have going
My combination is:
1. Anbernic RG35XX for games up to PS1
2. My own android smartphone (Galaxy S22) paired with the Razer Kishi V2 controller and Beacon frontend launcher for games up to PS2
3. A decent budget friendly but powerful PC, which is also used for emulation for games up to PS3
If you, like me, like to use your smartphone for emulation. I highly recommend using the Beacon frontend launcher. It keeps your whole library of emulated games, from various emulators you have installed, all in one place.
Similarly on PC, I use Playnite to keep all my PC games and emulated games organized. I also have all of my emulated games nicely organized in folders on my external hard drive with a copy of playnite installer and playnite setup backup, so I can take it with me to my friends house and play on any PC pretty much instantly.
I believe I have gone the cheapest route possible without compromising anything significant. Although, there was a lot of tinkering to get everything the way I wanted it. Which is something I love to do, but I know it isn't fun for everyone.
I have a device for all these categories and yet still watch all these reviews. 😂
Love your vids and your humour bro keep it up
Yeah the flow is king 🤴. 😮
For me it more like this the pocket one , the backpack/ couch , and the gaming pc !
Miyoo and deck are enough for me. And a laptop - for work and for rare rts/boomershooter occasions.
The soundtrack is epic
My top 3 is a desktop, a laptop and GPD Win Mini. I pocket the lightest 7" clamshell for the win! It still might be the lightest 7" handheld there is. I also use a portable 130W 25,000mah movespeed power bank from amazon which is on sale @ $40! I get loads of power that way.
Nice video concept!
This year, I picked up both a Steam Deck (OG, used from a coworker) and an RG405V.
Loving them both. Of course I have a Switch, PS5, Vita, 3DS, etc.
I NEED THAT FRIDGE OF ROOTBEER!!
I'll take one of each. I'm starting to think it's time for me to start a puter build, probably going to do it in stages, maybe buy a part a month. Thanks for the links TD, I'm saving this viddy.
Nice! I'm around if you need a hand 👍
Thanks buddy@@TechDweeb
