- Here's a little rambly off-the-cuff style video about the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro!
A very neat little handheld device that I have kinda fallen in love with since I got it last week.
This is my first android based emulator device thing, so it's been a learning process for me. But i'mma walk through how I feel about it and why it's been so great so far!
This is not sponsored (they never got back to me.) But you can pick it up here: www.goretroid....
Here is the setup guide I used: • Retroid Pocket 4/Pro S...

Its crazy to me the number of people who buy this, but are too lazy to do the setup, because it doesnt just come with a bunch of games already.
Not everyone has the ability to do that. Some people also may not know how to do that.
I know if i was to buy something like this I'd want the games already downloaded or it just woulsnt be worth my time imo
@@codysvlogdayslmao, all you had to do is figure it out. Before, we actually had to buy the game in order to play
2 years ago when I discovered these things I had no idea how ppl did this. Today I happily own the rp4 pro and love it. I am glad I started learning. I'm still a big newb but I've got quite a decent start up collection and enjoy building it up as time goes.
You're the first person I have ever seen review this device who said a Switch Lite was too big. Lol
I love mine, and a fun side-effect is that when I go back to playing my Switch OLED, it feels like I am holding a fucking TV in my hands. lol
Hey Dawn, thanks so much for making this video. I actually have the same handheld on the way to me right now and it's also my first retro handheld too so I'm glad to hear that you're really impressed with it. Definitely going to be using the guide you linked too for initial setup.
Btw, the micro hdmi port isn't the best external display option for the rp4 pro, it maxes out at 720p. if you plug the system into a usb-c dock with hdmi, it can do 1080p.
oh thats super helpful! I'll keep that in mind!
Welcome to the rabbit hole of retro emulator devices 😅
Went down the rabit hole a few years ago. This may be my first actual retro handheld tho as I've gotten ok with emulators on my phone. Have an ally it's great, but I also like android games, emulation is fun, and I love game streaming. Hopefully for my bday
when i modded my nintendo switch i was SO excited for the emulation stuff 'til i learned that the switch isnt powerful enough to emulate gamecube........ i was devastated.......... i was looking forward to getting to play the original AC in my bed............ i might look into somethin like this!!
get an Odin 2 that way you don't have to worry so much about performance on running these games
same i could not believe the switch was that weak lol
@@asciiangel7583
Yes the switch is weak, but you can't deny the amazing optimizations Nintendo was able to pull on it.....
Honestly to this day the graphics are still outstanding
Great video! I have one myself and it was great to watch a casual take on one of these handhelds. I recommend trying some android games as well, as there is a onscreen button mapper if the game doesn't natively support the controls like genshin impact. A few good ones that do are dead cells, stardew valley, minecraft and diablo immortal but, you have to make sure your gamepad is on the xbox layout for android games to detect it :)
So weird I was just thinking about the channel and then I say that you posted a video 5 minutes ago 😅
I'm rockin' the transparent red. It's freakin' awesome for pocketable. This thing can actually emulate Super Mario Bros. Wonder at 60 fps 90% of the time. Completely playable. Make sure to get the custom driver. When I want a little bigger screen, my Odin 2 pro rulez.
Love my rp4 pro I bought it the day it was for sale and I’ve loved it and I just ordered a miyoo mini plus and I plan to get the ambernic rg35xxsp and the miyoo clamshell that’s been rumored
Welcome to the club. I started with one and now I have five different devices each specializing in select systems. I’m excited for the miyoo flip. I got the A30 and like the way it feels but I’m waiting on onion OS
I’ve been thinking on getting one of these, and this kinda reassured me. I recently got into collecting/playing GameCube stuff and being able to play stuff like that portably sounds awesome. Now to find one at a decent price because I’m a cheapass lol
you can use ES-DE for beautyfull collection all you game
If you use LaunchBox you can have both android and desktop pc version. Plus LaunchBox has support for Emu Movies for game meta data. And LaunchBox has a bigscreen mode called BigBox for TV's
How does compare on a galaxy note 20 ultra? Is it better? I can get the phone and a controller for pretty much same thing.
Should have gotten the Odin 2, it has enough power to play games WITH HD texture packs
Its also over $100 more
bruh odin 2 is 300 dollars.
@@paperdawn Odin 2 is so worth it. I have it and i play both of the zelda games on switch no problem. I think both of devices are worth it.
@@paperdawn Also you like your handhelds small, the Odin 2 is pretty big, I have the Odin 1 and I actually play my rp3+ more often lol. Great review, welcome to the fold!
I have rp4 pro, it's soo freaking amazing! But I grew tired of the tiny screen... I have a deck but it too huge to carry around, I'm thinking about the Odin 2 for 2 months now...
I can download more games for ps1 ?
yes
i saw mario galaxy 2 in the thumbnail and there wasnt mario galaxy 2 in the video. you wasted my time.
sorry Josh
@@paperdawn i appreciate the ape escape 3 gameplay T_T if that were in the thumbnail i wouldve been satisfied...
Hablas mucho y cansas al oído man
looks like he used 6% battery making this
