Man. I remember when you were so underrated with 200k+ subs and somehow UA-cam recommended your channel, and boy, I am in love watching your videos. Your sponsor segment is so fun to watch; it's so creative, and it's different every time, even though it's the same sponsor. Now you are almost 1M subs and still enjoying watching you.
I've actually gone in an extremely mid 2000s direction with my daily carry. I bring a MP3 Player, Flip Phone, modded 3DS, and Legend of Zelda Game & Watch everywhere. I use the flip phone because it is not distracting. I take the MP3 player because, well, I like listening to music (also, having my music on CD and ripping it to my MP3 player with iTunes is better than Spotify, IMO. No internet access required and I know that I legally own the music). I take the modded 3DS because its a small handheld and it runs SNES and GBA and DS and 3DS games, which is more than enough for playing on the train. Like, all the best Pokemon games are on Gameboy Advance or DS. Also A Link to the Past, Super Mario All Stars, almost every Fire Emblem game, its all there. Even PS1 games can be emulated (poorly, for the record) on a modded 3DS. Its good for fulfilling the desire to game (and like, there is a fairly active homebrew scene on itchio and stuff, so I can play fairly modern games on the GBA). And I take the Game & Watch because it is small and cute and the OG Legend of Zelda is actually one of my favorite pick up and play type of games, like it is basically a fully open world game. Also having Zelda 2 and Link's Awakening is a cool bonus, I guess
For me, I have these items for playing games: Nintendo Switch (unmodded) Steam deck RG35XX H (going to replace it with the RG Cube XX, and give my bro the H to replace his original RG35XX) BeeLink GT King (my living room gaming system) Amazon Fire Stick 2nd gen And tbh, I havent played many games in my personal life like Bob said, and because of mental struggles lately, its been harder to do. So honestly, I equally have not played much on any of these. And even so, like he said, I have enjoyed tinkering than actually playing, and probably spent more time doing that than playing a game (also why I have some weird products to game on). Interesting how it can be that way. But part of the reason why I "upgraded" to the RG Cube XX is because I love Pico-8 so much I want a more dedicated device for that. It's been the "console" I have played the most in my recent years. So I believe soon I will use my Cube XX more. Past devices I had were Retroid Pocket 3+ & 4 Pro. I used 3+ a lot and was my first time getting into this stuff. then I used the 4 Pro for a bit to replace the 3+ till I found a Steam Deck for a really good deal. I did not need the 4 Pro and no one else I knew close needed it for my asking price. lol I also had a R36S, but quickly upgraded to the H soon after. Despite how I feel about games lately, I have been very adamant in supporting this stuff and getting people into emulation for preservation reasons. I have gotten a steam deck and ROG Ally 1z Extreme as gifts for some close friends. Anyway, sorry for the babble. In the end, if you just want all in one, I recommend the steam deck (more performance, do what Bob did and get an X with Bazite, pardon my lazy spelling). If you want portability, I recommend Anbernic RG XX line, and having those two would basically be complete for your needs. Boom lol Otherwise, dont have the addiction problem like I do LOLOL
For me it’s: 1. The Switch OLED (I love Nintendo games and there are no shortage of those especially with Online classics. Plus the battery life can’t be beat) 2. Steam Deck OLED (My third party/AAA backlog machine) 3. PS Portal (My Final Fantasy, AstroBot, and PS first party backlog machine)

bazzite on my 6800u gpd win 4 renewed my love of gaming. the friction that windows offers was just too much most of the time, and put me off all the 30-120 min gaming sessions i used to do. it got to the point that i basically wouldnt play pc games if i wasnt so excited for a game i could sit down and play it for 4+ hours in a sitting. the streamlined and no nonsense approach that steamOS has got me playing all those chill games, or indie games that are well suited to taking a break with, or to play while half watching a tv show. my one negative is that i cant play some of the AAA games i want like jedi survivor or ratchet and clank rift apart. i cant wait until the next gen headhelds start coming out and i can finally get one that fulfills all my high end gaming needs.
I’ve been using the Rg35xxsp it’s great! I also use my Steamdeck, and my Odin 2 I’ve been playing around with. Kind of wish I waited for the Odin 2 mini and got a mini Odin 2 instead, but it is what it is. I also have a 3DS XL me and my bro got but we rarely use it. I wish I had these kind of options as a kid but I’m happy with what I got now. The versatility between the handhelds is so much fun you can do tons of things. I like all the options! I’ve spent more time tinkering than playing these lol. 😬 😂 Great videos as always!
I don't know about swapping out but moded handhelds run thier games the best since ofc, thats what they were made for lol. I have: - A moded 2ds xl for gba/ds/3ds games, - A moded vita/vitatv for ps1/psp/vita games, anything older then that i just run on anything but, - My go to travel with is the retroid flip, - Steamdeck is my go to for playing through my library at work and otherwise i'm contemplating getting an Odin device to run most things (but mainly ps2/3 and game cube), Finally - The switch with a retrodeck is what i used for those games (though getting a dumper is very tempting until the switch 2 comes out).
I hate that I've slowly become more interesting in getting new hardware, tweaking stuff on it, and seeing how far I can push it than I am interested in playing games. I blame my steam deck cause I was never really into pc gaming before, but now w the SD I am constantly trying to find new things to test out with it. It sparked an obsession with tinkering and experimenting
In the order of purchase: Switch, Switch lite, 2DS, PS4, PS3, NDS, PS Vita, New 3DS XL, WiiU, Miyoo Mini Plus, Steam Deck. I fell in love with handheld gaming wirh the Switch lite (not modded) and the PS Vita (with CFW). I do most of my gaming today on Steam Deck, and for Nintendo exclusives on the Switch lite.
The big thing that stopped me from moving to Bazzite full time is that the wifi performance on Linux is so much slower than on Windows, at least on the Ally X. It made a noticeable difference installing games or Moonlight streaming.
Currently saving for a steam deck, the only thing keeping be back is that I’m sure I will stop using my vita and 3Ds. Even though I’ve had loads of fun with those, I know that the deck will be a better device and an amazing emulation machine.
Hey just want to offer you a different perspective. I collect handhelds and I love my Steamdeck but the experience between it and the 3DS and PsVita are not totally comparable. Sometimes I will opt to emulate a game on the 3ds/Vita just because the comfort, pocketability and ease of access (never worry about steam, updates, etc). All them are great consoles regardless! Sometimes you just want to lay in bed and play a GBA game without the thought of oh shit if I drop this console on my face I'm done for lmao.
Honestly if you have those moded then those are better to use for their respective systems rather then emulating them on other things. That said i do have a steamdeck that i dock up to a monitor at work, its just a nice portable steam machine even if you don't use it for it's handheld purpose, highly recommend unless you are an avid AAA player.
Well, the thing about 3DS and Vita is that they can't yet be emulated near perfectly. So for some games, you will want to keep those systems around. The 3DS especially since dual screen setups are harder to replicate in general.
I've got a PC, Steam Deck, Switch, PS Vita, PSP, PSP Go, 3DS, RG35xx-h and Miyoo A30. The A30 goes with me everywhere. PC - power hungry games SD - indies Switch - Persona 5, Tears of the Kingdom The rest of them get occasional use, maybe twice a month.
We're not gonna talk about the OneXPlayer guys being like "we don't approve your review so you have to take it down!!!" We're just gonna let them do that?
RTX 3060 was a pretty decent card for a decent price, no surprise it is among the most popular ones. What's really crazy is that 1.02% is RXT 4090. 1.02% means that probably around 2 to 4 million super high-end 4090s are in use on Steam alone.
I mostly play Switch for first-party Nintendo stuff. I also play Steam Deck for pretty much anything else as it is an amazing device! I do also have a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, but it has been collecting a bit of dust...I just vastly prefer the Steam Deck as my "one stop shop" for nearly anything I want to play.
i got a 35XXSP but i just end up using my modded 3ds. i got a used "new" model on the cheaper side by importing it from japan. i got the white one which was never in the states and after having only used old model 3ds systems its just a joy. i adore the ds and 3ds family of systems and i often have no reason to use any other handheld. between that and my pretty beefed pc, im fully covered
This year I bought my first emulator, the Trimui Smart Pro. It's a good first start but I wish I had more power to play some more modern titles with ease.
Rather surprised a steamdeck doesn't end up on the nightstand, but if you never play games for which the trackpads are if not essential than massively beneficial in that location anyway... For myself ever since playing with a Steamcontroller I've never been able to go back, sticks have their place but the flexibility of trackpads is so great and once you have gotten used to them you actively miss the precision you get with them.
I absolutely love rg 350m it looks cool and I’m only using it for playing my PS one games on the go and it does the job sadly nobody is talking about it anymore but that’s how it goes with these handhelds Great video once again keep it up🤘😎
Curious to hear why you don't prefer to use your PS5 in general, since I know you have mentioned it on the podcast. I'm one of those people who wasn't able to afford one until this year and I'm honestly loving it.
An FYI for your ad: The FCC prohibits unauthorized use of Emergency Alert System (EAS) tones, including in UA-cam videos, to prevent public confusion. Violations can result in substantial fines, as seen with ESPN’s $146,976 penalty in 2024. Content creators should avoid using EAS tones without explicit authorization to comply with regulations.
been loving my steam deck OLED, waiting for my RP5 to ship in 2 weeks so i can have an android gaming device that isnt being bombarded with discord DMs and text messages. i was thinking about the Odin 2, but it was kinda big and the RP5 seems perfect (smaller, cheaper, almost as powerful)
Btw use the Qualcomm 777 driver on Odin 2 for EOW. Helps performance dramatically I'm playing 1080p docked at full speed in *most* places (runs especially well in dungeons) Cubeb audio to fix any audio stuttering. Some flickering of trees but only in certain areas on the map
@@fujinshu me too. The official way to play a game should be the best, it's crazy that you can have a better experience pirating a game than someone paying $70
I was really excited for the 35XXSP, sadly I haven't gamed on it much since the A button began to recess for some reason. I also find the d-pad to be just a little too stiff for the games I like to play on it (Sonic, Tetris, Metroid). I'm actually getting a lot more playtime out of my TrimUI Smart, the D-Pad is perfect and I love the shoulder buttons.
I'll be honest, using the portal was absolutely painful until I changed my wifi router system. Now it's buttery smooth (when connected to the PS5 that's hard wired to the modem)
I had to switch to ROG Ally after my steam deck bit the big one. Brazzite is super good and I have been using it for the past few weeks now. It is an overall good experience since I dont use my Ally for any games that are multiplayer focused.
I use a V1 switch for retrogames and a oled for switch games. I don't need more power, I need more time to play. Being a responsible adult is just boring.
For me, it's it's just been my vita and 3ds which are both modded and my old s20fe w/ a gamesir g8 controller. The s20fe specifically is the reason I haven't gotten something like an odin 2 yet, although the phone does get hot so it's not a perfect experience. I don't play pc games enough to warrant buying a steam deck yet and mostly just play emulators. But the emulators I do play on pc(mostly pcsx2 and dolphin) I prefer using their actual controller, so the desktop experience is still in my needs for that. I mostly play my 3ds when i'm out, like getting car stuff done. When I'm at home, it's my 3ds and knocking out a couple levels of whatever I'm playing.
Yeah out of my 7 or 8 anbernic devices it is my 353vs where the screen has a lot of bleeding so instead of trying to fix it or replace it I use only for gameboy and its nice that it forces me to play gameboy when I have too many options.
I mostly play on my PS Portal (when plugged into your router directly it works great. It doesn't work good on mesh at all), and me 2ds xl. I still play on my Miyoo from time to time, and in probably going to do a playthrough of FF8 on it soon.
I had the same with my Anbernic rg35xx. I fixed it by holding the reset button, or the power button or holding one of these while clicking all the other buttons. Sorry, one of them did the trick, I couldn't reproduce it. I think the reason it didn't want to boot again bc I booted it without an sdcard.
Nice topic though. I don't have half as many handhelds as you but I still struggle to find time to use all the ones I have. From a Miyoo Mini (v2 and +), to a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, a RG35XXSP and a Steam Deck OLED, it's just too much lol
Are you sure that RG35XX Plus you were waving around is actually a plus? It looks like the original RG35XX model to me (the bezels on the screen, no battery compartment) Needs Garlic OS maybe
I love playing on my main pc. But love the haptics on steam deck(og) rog ally is a better performer but it’s always a challenge. I really like the minis forum v3. The tablets thin and easy to fit in my brief case and doesn’t look to gamerish - like my gigabyte aorus(4070) while when I want to chill in bed it doesn’t disturb the wife. Even with my onexegpu on turbo. 1 draw back is getting my custom built egpu to accept Nvidia cards not code 43. I truly feel the minisforum with the 1600p display is a great portable gaming power house. It’s like the switch. Hook it up to the dock and premium setting. On the go 780m works great for most games.
I’m doing replays of childhood pokemon gameboy Color games on my phone ITS PERFECT!! Feels just like having your gameboy with you I only miss the feeling of real button Oh and hey, I mapped the action button to start the Delta app so it’s just like turning your gameboy on 🤩
Anbernic 35xx whatever still is my EDC. As long as I get PSX and SNES I'm good. I did help my local bartender unbrick his device resulting in free beers.
They're basically e-waste. They're super cheap but they release a hardware refresh every full moon so there's zero product support, and always ship with undocumented crappy software that requires a community fix.
Had an RGB35XX power but not show anything, I had to bend a pin in the mini hdmi out port because it was shorting and it thought a cable was plugged in to display out

I've actually gone in an extremely mid 2000s direction with my daily carry. I bring a MP3 Player, Flip Phone, modded 3DS, and Legend of Zelda Game & Watch everywhere. I use the flip phone because it is not distracting. I take the MP3 player because, well, I like listening to music (also, having my music on CD and ripping it to my MP3 player with iTunes is better than Spotify, IMO.

There are a couple of Turnip drivers that let you upscale Echos and another mod that fixes the image issue you are having on the Odin 2
I use a V1 switch for retrogames and a oled for switch games. I don't need more power, I need more time to play. Being a responsible adult is just boring.
For me, it's it's just been my vita and 3ds which are both modded and my old s20fe w/ a gamesir g8 controller. The s20fe specifically is the reason I haven't gotten something like an odin 2 yet, although the phone does get hot so it's not a perfect experience. I don't play pc games enough to warrant buying a steam deck yet and mostly just play emulators. But the emulators I do play on pc(mostly pcsx2 and dolphin) I prefer using their actual controller, so the desktop experience is still in my needs for that.
I mostly play my 3ds when i'm out, like getting car stuff done. When I'm at home, it's my 3ds and knocking out a couple levels of whatever I'm playing.
This is why I am a fan... If the device is dope, it is dope... and if the company is not dope, they are done all things staying the same.
Hope you make a million soon.
I use my Nintendo Switch for exclusive titles and my Steam Deck for everything else I want to play portably or emulate.
Sounding like a broken record but I can not wait for the miyoo mini flip to come out. I just want a sp style mini handheld with onion os.
Yeah out of my 7 or 8 anbernic devices it is my 353vs where the screen has a lot of bleeding so instead of trying to fix it or replace it I use only for gameboy and its nice that it forces me to play gameboy when I have too many options.
I mostly play on my PS Portal (when plugged into your router directly it works great. It doesn't work good on mesh at all), and me 2ds xl. I still play on my Miyoo from time to time, and in probably going to do a playthrough of FF8 on it soon.
I had the same with my Anbernic rg35xx. I fixed it by holding the reset button, or the power button or holding one of these while clicking all the other buttons. Sorry, one of them did the trick, I couldn't reproduce it.
I think the reason it didn't want to boot again bc I booted it without an sdcard.
I felt seen during the Balatro mention (Balatro is currently on my other screen)
Nice topic though. I don't have half as many handhelds as you but I still struggle to find time to use all the ones I have. From a Miyoo Mini (v2 and +), to a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, a RG35XXSP and a Steam Deck OLED, it's just too much lol
8:15 Okay I don't need to be called out like this because same 😂
Hi Bob it’s me your 58th biggest fan
Any PC game you get with FPS 42+ is a W. 42 is the minimum for my eyes to tell a great difference from 30.
Are you sure that RG35XX Plus you were waving around is actually a plus? It looks like the original RG35XX model to me (the bezels on the screen, no battery compartment)
Needs Garlic OS maybe
Refreshed my feed to be blessed by a new Bob video
I am constantly coming back to my RG35XX H. Like, constantly.
I love playing on my main pc. But love the haptics on steam deck(og) rog ally is a better performer but it’s always a challenge. I really like the minis forum v3. The tablets thin and easy to fit in my brief case and doesn’t look to gamerish - like my gigabyte aorus(4070) while when I want to chill in bed it doesn’t disturb the wife. Even with my onexegpu on turbo. 1 draw back is getting my custom built egpu to accept Nvidia cards not code 43. I truly feel the minisforum with the 1600p display is a great portable gaming power house. It’s like the switch. Hook it up to the dock and premium setting. On the go 780m works great for most games.
I’m doing replays of childhood pokemon gameboy Color games on my phone ITS PERFECT!! Feels just like having your gameboy with you I only miss the feeling of real button
Oh and hey, I mapped the action button to start the Delta app so it’s just like turning your gameboy on 🤩
35xx SP GOAT. It goes in the pocket? It gets game time.
Anbernic 35xx whatever still is my EDC. As long as I get PSX and SNES I'm good. I did help my local bartender unbrick his device resulting in free beers.
Thats funny you say your Rg35XX plus stopped working because mine stopped working as of yesterday as well. So strange
Chip's challenge ^_^
But where is the Space Cadet 3D pinball?
Will you do an RPmini review?
bob: i spent hours flashing it and it still won't turn on
bro, you can flash me once and im up
you're not going to review the 120hz OLED BFI on the portal for retro gaming???
Ah man, Nintendo will take this one down
why refuse ambernic stuff? I'm new to this.
They're basically e-waste. They're super cheap but they release a hardware refresh every full moon so there's zero product support, and always ship with undocumented crappy software that requires a community fix.
I think just because they're pumping out tonnes of systems with only minor differences which makes for very boring reviews
I've been using the Steam Deck to chip away at my backlog. I rewarded myself with persona 5 Royal.
Had an RGB35XX power but not show anything, I had to bend a pin in the mini hdmi out port because it was shorting and it thought a cable was plugged in to display out
I can see them wanting the name of their device in the title, the other thing I can't.
Too bad til Tok is about to be fully banned in the US. Great video as always Bob ❤
I needed this
"I've been playing a lot of Balatro on my iPhone." Android user here and fucking YUP! YUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUP
Tried to use the dumper to play metroid on my ally but it wouldn't recognize the ally's buttons as a controller.
Aight bet will follow on TikTok now
I usually have an Odin mini and, psvita, on my bed.
11:47 I see what you did there
PSA for echoes of wisdom use sudachi
Is that a tomtoc bag? Which one is it?
I love my legion go
Well, for dos games, there's always exodos
The only handhelds I use are my phone + Retroid Pocket 3+
Haven’t seen a video with Nintendo games running on third party hardware in a minute.
How about you break out that Sega Dreamcast and use that.
PSP Go is the GOAT.
Hey Bob for some reason for me every game i play on bazzite runs way better then on windows on my rog ally and idk y.
I love this channel. Do I love Bob enough to download and use TikTok? Sadly, no. I'm sorry guy :(
personally im waiting on my powkiddy x55 so i can have TWO devices i can play Balatro on other than my phone
just get chiakki4deck and throw again the portal
