YES! One of my favourite devices ever ever ever! You captured everything that's great about it. Makes me want to ignore my work and grab my RP2s and play games instead :P
I recently ordered a rg405m but after realizing that it’s missing hdmi out and then watching your video and this one I decided to also buy a 2s for myself and give the the 405m to my daughter. I can’t wait until I can get it in my hands! So excited!
Ooooh excited for you!!! I always recommend retro game corp’s videos and website for guidance on how to set up new devices, if you’re not familiar with Android handhelds.
3:50 Uh I don't know what you're talking about! I would never ruin a screen protector! NEVER!😅 Also Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 I like to play on my 2S a lot simply because Sonic is my boy. Yea
There’s something adorable about the way you pronounce “buttons”! Anyways, great video. I’ve been looking for a retro handheld for a while and I reckon the 2S is the one for me.
This review could be categorized as ASMR. It's so sweet and cute and your excitement about gaming is uplifting. Thanks for the welcomed respite, and keep up the great work : )
Aah omg what a lovely comment to end the day with. Thank you so much! I love watching asmr videos, so this is such a huge compliment lol. Happy gaming!!
@@crystal_is_cozy You're welcome! I noticed you got the Odin 2 since you made this video. Having played with that one now, are you still enjoying the RP2S as much?
@@pixelmentia I am! I think it’d be unfair to compare them because they are in different categories of handhelds for me. The Odin 2 is a great device to lounge around the house with, or when I want to carry a bigger bag, but it can’t beat the RP2S in terms of size and pocketability. And honestly? I love how it looks but that retro dmg colorway will forever win my heart.
@@crystal_is_cozy Well, you convinced me. Just ordered one! Same color scheme except with the Skittles buttons lol. I'm a little worried about that shipping though--hopefully it'll arrive sooner than I've been hearing!
@@pixelmentia omg I am excited for you. I love the controls on the RP2S. I think they’re my fave out of all the devices I own, and I can’t wait to hear what you think of them. Also those skittles buttons are so cute. I’m such a gameboy stan so I went with the retro, but it was a tough choice between those two. Enjoy!!!
Hey! Just wanted to say I was in the same boat! I loved the RP3+ and just realized its too big and clunky, and I want the RP2s. Your video helped me see the size difference and seeing the same games I like to play run that good on it was helpful.
Ooh I’m so glad!! I hope you enjoy the RP2S! Something to consider, though: the RP2S is smaller but kind of thicker than the 3+ due to the (very excellent) analog triggers. So if you find the RP3+ clunky, the 2S may still not be a good fit. But everything else about it is wonderful.
@@crystal_is_cozy I've been on a binge of research and narrowed it down to either the RP2S metal or the Flip. I'm looking for the smallest of the bunch, which is the Flip. BUTTTTT the 2S has better sticks and controls and that is just as important as the size. Its a hard call. I can say though for sure, the RP3+ and 405m are just overkill for me in power, I don't want to go beyond n64 and ps1. I've also owned the 405v, and it was a chonk monster and just extremely hard to get working (flash requirements on the SD card was stupid) But ya, its between the 2S and the Flip. Both have qualities I want T_T
@@crystal_is_cozy I preer the android stuff because of Retroarch. I just really enjoy it, and it makes CHEATING (lol) much easier on me and takes away the headache. The auto download and usage of specific functions like that in Retroarch makes it something I vastly prefer. Loading my own cores and such is something I like. I enjoy the double usage of the Android applications as well and its also why I really disliked the Anbernics, they made this an absolute nightmare, but the Retroids made it super easy. Being able to set custom options with Retroarch is what I want and I am not familiar with any Linux stuff. I've never used any device that was linux based. For me, at the moment, I've had a lot of the Anbernics and just never knew the Retroids were that good and easy. They did what I wanted. Its a toss between the Flip and the 2S for me, and Ill probably opt for which ever I can snag a good used deal on. :)
@@crystal_is_cozy I've never used a Linux system, I am open to them if they are great. My intent was to get the smallest and high powered emulator device that can handle n64 and ps1. It was a toss between the 2S and the Flip. I really prefer the android stuff because I love Retroarch and Daijisho.
Lol, oh no. Did I manage to convince you to spend your money? But thank you thank you for watching. I hope you enjoy the RP2S if you do pick one up. Which color way would you get? I love my retro dmg one, but the transparent ones are also beautiful.
@@crystal_is_cozy might get whichever is available. I'm actually hyped that it can also play Android games, poorly and in 4:3, but still, LoL Wild Rift alongside PICO-8 and emulators? Take my money
I have many handhelds (over 30) and I think that THIS will be the perfect combination of something slim, horizontal, and has apps (for my anime) thanks for this review.
Locoroco? I knew subbing to this channel was the right choice. I'm also glad I'm not the only one that didn't end up liking/using their Retroid Pocket 3+.
@crystal_is_cozy I'm actually gonna be messing with more of the Linux builds soon myself! I love how much we all love to learn! Your video is making me realize I may have made a mistake with the RP4Pro and should have just gotten the RP2S. Don't get me wrong, I really like the RP4, but it has its downsides.
@@Sadtiric yeah, learning is so fun, when you’re learning stuff you find useful! And what didn’t you like about the RP4Pro? I hope a video is coming out soon! RP4 is so brand new, people are gonna eat it up =D
@crystal_is_cozy Hah, yeah.. I don't know if I'm going to do the same style as my last video XD, but I'll try to use what I learned! I forget, do you have an RP4P?
@@Sadtiric no, it looked too similar to the RP3+ and I’m not super fond of that one. I would have saved up for the 556 if my sister hadn’t offered to buy me an Odin 2, because I like how that looks in transparent blue and probably would’ve liked how it felt. And yeah, you don’t have to stick to the same style! Now is the time to experiment~
Do you sing? I think you're a singer. And singing songs of my beloved RP2S has my heart wide open! Im starting to love my trim ui smart pro too, for different reasons though, size, when a big screen matters to me.
Bahahaaa I'm not a singer at all. But I can sing songs of retro handhelds, yes! =D Also omg I just ordered one of those in a sale. So I'll probably make a video eventually, and you can hear THAT song, too.
Great Video Crystal. I also have both the RP3+ and the RP2S. I use the 3+ only for psp games nowadays and for the rest the 2S. This device reminds me so much of the neogeo pocket color handheld, by its form. I love playing fighting games on this like street fighter 3th strike but more than that I love my retro Nintendo games on this machine.
Yes, the retro nintendo games just feel like they were meant to be played on this thing. It's got some drawbacks, for sure, but for really those really lovely nostalgic feels, the RP2S is perfect. I'm so glad you're enjoying yours! And thanks so much for the subscribe
It plays great on every android handheld I've tried! Just need to go into settings and click the low-res thing off in video settings or the text will be unreadable.
Your videos are so informative and well done. I’m new to retro gaming and your videos are perfect for me. Your audio and delivery is… honestly, calming and positive. I love that. Keep up the good work! 👍
New subscriber here. i got both the 2S and the flip. but my emulation experiences is all over the place. but it is nice to own several to cater a certain game franchise. like fire emblem. or SMT or any retro rpg game. so far i am happy with my purchase. and won't need to upgrade in a very long time (since i already own a steam deck as my gaming rig ) 😄
Hello! Thank you for subscribing, I’m so happy you’re here 😁. And yeah, I think you’re covered with just those three devices. How do you like the flip compared to the 2S? I’ve always wanted one, and especially love how the watermelon red looks!
@@crystal_is_cozyalot of retro tech creators has already covered about the flip in many aspects. But to me I felt the flip caters to me who has a small hand and my usage of the 2S and flip are super lightweight on me. My steam deck is never on a handheld mode since it's too bulky. So I try to enjoy smaller sized devices that can covers any long term gaming sessions with ease (as an artist I do also draw for many hours so that applies to art tools too). I would say if there is a flip 2 then it's a must buy for me. Your handheld grip is the priority when it comes to your comfort. Not the specs alone. Ps. My 2s is mostly for 4:3 screen ratio games. While my flip is very nice with psp and gba.
Very well made and perfectly explained, thank you. I was on the fence between the Miyoo mini+, Anbernic rg35xx+/h and the Retroid Pocket 2s. I don't like bigger handheld devices and for that reason don't play my switch unless it's docked. A while back I bought the Pocket Go S30 which is kind of a relic now, but it was simple to set up and use. I upgraded to the Anbernic rg351v and enjoyed the premium build, but was disappointed by the PSP/N64 and NDS performance. I kept the 351v but I got the Retroid Pocket 2+ because of the hype. The RP2+ is great, but I want to get my girlfriend her own handheld for work/breaks or moments of boredom that nostalgia seems to fix. And my major dilemma was that it needed to be small, cute and easy to use... Which they all are, but you sold me with improvements on the original RP2+ and the Etsy grip/cover. I'll be going with neon green and powder green grip. 😁👍😎
She had an original Game Boy as a kid, so that's why I considered the Miyoo mini+ I remember how popular the original was because of simplicity and great quality. The "new" rg35xx 2024 edition or rg35xx+ have basically the same CPU/GPU and RAM specs as the rg351v minus the thumb stick and a slightly smaller size. Honestly the 351v has an ok thumb stick and I never use it. I did enjoy the PocketGo S30 because of the landscape profile and I find myself leaning towards the Retroid Pocket 2+ more because of that same reason.... Sooo that's why I considered the rg35xx h or the Retroid Pocket 2s. The new hall thumb sticks look weird to me but I like that they relocated the dpad and thumb stick.... Overall I think the RP2s is the better choice, because she will probably get more use from it playing android games and using apps.... And occasionally playing retro games like Pokemon Red or LeafGreen. I have no idea how long the shipping will take, the RP2+ took like 2.5months but I'll keep you posted. Again, thank you for the honest and helpful video. 👍❤️
@@brokensprites man, the miyoo mini plus just had the best aesthetics for me. I also grew up with a gameboy and it makes me happy every time I play with that one. Still, I think you made a great choice. RP2S’ versatility is amazing. (Also thanks so much for the subscribe!! I’m really appreciate it ❤️)
Can you please make a tutorial on how to set up the retroid pocket 2s because I got mine as my fist retro handheld a month ago and I still haven’t figured out how to set it up
Ooh have you checked out Retro Game Corps? He has a really comprehensive tutorial on it, actually! retrogamecorps.com/2022/01/16/retroid-pocket-2-starter-guide/ check out this one. It covers the 2S as well.
@@Stevedacowin Yes! You can actually fix it in the settings (which is the second menu item down). Select that, then go to the third menu option and there should be a bar and then a check box, possibly outlined in red. Click that checkbox and you should be able to read everything.
How can you deal with the tiny size of the font and screen for android games? I installed the netflix version of dead cells and none of the text were visible! 😫 20 Minutes Till Dawn was playable, so was TMNT Shredder's Revenge, but still a bit small. Is there a way to increase the font size of android games on the RP2S small screen?
I wasn't a fan of the RP3+ for some reason too. Not sure what I didn't like about it. I think, at the time, I was expecting it to play more GC and PS2 games. Now, I have an Odin 2 and it does all that but it's not pocketable. I may want to try the 2S
The 2S will play even less than the rp3+, so maybe not a good fit if you want ps2 and GameCube. Have you considered the rp4 pro? It plays nearly as much as the Odin does but is a little bit smaller. Pocketable without the grip.
@crystal_is_cozy yeah, I was looking at that too but I'm not sure I should be spending that much considering I already have a Odin2 and OLED Steam Deck 🤔 Frivolous spending 😅
@@erraddict yeah if you already have the Odin 2 and Steam Deck, I’d say rp2s is a really good device for on-the-go gameplay. I think very little beats its retro aesthetic. Or you know, you could get a miyoo mini plus ;)
Can we get much customization with android emulators? Ive seen some KILLER tinkering videos for duck station and others that really make some beautiful smoothness and even cell-shaded look like borderlands or Sable (pc). Really interested in it but i believe my android based ems are just not beefed up enough to do that level of detailed tinkering. 😢
Hmm I dunno? It all depends on the individual emulators, yeah. I think there _is_ a Duckstation standalone app for Android, isn't there? A lot of those things are filters and shaders, and it'll depend on how powerful your device is, because it takes up system resources.
Like how much time? Not long for the bios, but SO long for the roms. I love to curate different roms lists based on my library and also my preferences. =D
Sorry im not a tech guy. But if its android, how about the android support in the long run? Will it still support some apps? Or when almost all apps require high performance system will it get laggy?

@@adrian_veidt it is very smol! =D
Hi, I am wondering can you zoom out the camera on Stardew Valley game? Thanks
@@fianoanthonio you can! Pinch to zoom in and out, since it’s a touch screen.
@@crystal_is_cozy Thanks a lot for confirming it. ;)
I wasn't a fan of the RP3+ for some reason too. Not sure what I didn't like about it. I think, at the time, I was expecting it to play more GC and PS2 games. Now, I have an Odin 2 and it does all that but it's not pocketable. I may want to try the 2S
The 2S will play even less than the rp3+, so maybe not a good fit if you want ps2 and GameCube. Have you considered the rp4 pro? It plays nearly as much as the Odin does but is a little bit smaller. Pocketable without the grip.
@crystal_is_cozy yeah, I was looking at that too but I'm not sure I should be spending that much considering I already have a Odin2 and OLED Steam Deck 🤔
Frivolous spending 😅
@@erraddict yeah if you already have the Odin 2 and Steam Deck, I’d say rp2s is a really good device for on-the-go gameplay. I think very little beats its retro aesthetic. Or you know, you could get a miyoo mini plus ;)
Can we get much customization with android emulators? Ive seen some KILLER tinkering videos for duck station and others that really make some beautiful smoothness and even cell-shaded look like borderlands or Sable (pc). Really interested in it but i believe my android based ems are just not beefed up enough to do that level of detailed tinkering. 😢
Hmm I dunno? It all depends on the individual emulators, yeah. I think there _is_ a Duckstation standalone app for Android, isn't there? A lot of those things are filters and shaders, and it'll depend on how powerful your device is, because it takes up system resources.
If only you could get an Odin 2. *sigh*
Lmao.
I got one. Shhhhh. Seeeekrit.
Please tutorial splore pico8 on retroid pocket
There’s one already! Adin Walls tutorial, I think I linked it in the description in the video =D
I have Terraria from the Google Playstore. That's odd
@@CapFlipGaming I think it’s not available for certain devices/android releases? I dunno, it’s a mystery.
How much for you to setup the bios/roms files ??😅
Like how much time? Not long for the bios, but SO long for the roms. I love to curate different roms lists based on my library and also my preferences. =D
Morrowind
Sorry im not a tech guy. But if its android, how about the android support in the long run? Will it still support some apps? Or when almost all apps require high performance system will it get laggy?
