Retroid Pocket 5 In-Depth Review: My NEW Favorite

Will this be the best PS2 emulator for this device?😊

Yes! Another Tony Hawk’s Underground and SSX Tricky fan! I LOVE those games, but I never hear them talked about.

Well done video, like your style, my RP5 is on the way (black) can't wait! I think some are streaming from the Xbox service, haven't seen too much on that, wonder how that works on this (if at all) what size of Micro SD are you using on it? thanks! Michael

download the eu version of automodellista. i found it is better controls than usa version! hope that helps

By the way, a lot of gamecube games have much better widescreen options than the built in dolphin widescreen hacks. Google "Gamecube widescreen project", there's a guy who put together all the gecko codes in one ini that lets tons of games run with non-glitchy widescreen.

Can you show gameplay of NBA Street 2 and Def Jam fight for NY and Def Jam vendetta for ps2

Was considering changing my Odin 2 for this but the thumbstick really puts me off

What about the secret console?

What the first 2 android games you were playing? Adding titles to each game you showcase would be awesome. Great review. Thanks.

I've heard the Euro version of auto modellista on PS2 is a little easier. Have you tried it?

For AM , try the EU version.for US Version some people claim that, there is a control issue

Can it emulate ps2 games?

Really enjoyed that review.... No I want one.... But that will take me well in to double figures on Handhelds! 🤣 Ive found myself collecting Tham as well as Games now! Ahh well, keep up the great work! 👍

"See, honey! 4.86'" is considered impressive!"

Midnight club 3 is to this day the best racing game ever made. It’s a shame that series hasn’t lived on.

It sounds like you're playing the US version of Auto Modelista. There are basically 2 different versions of the game: the original release that came out in Japan and Europe, and an "improved" version that was made for the US and released in Japan as the "US Tuned" edition. The US revision controls horribly, and is not the version of the game people are usually talking about when they praise it. Try and get ahold of the EU copy (PS2 only, unfortunately), and you'll probably like it much more.

It is said that the European version of Auto Modelista has better controls than the American version.

Great review.

If you're interested in technically competent racing games with, uh, unique handling characteristics, besides 'Auto Modelista', then seek out 'Driving Emotion Type S' by SquareSoft. Made for PS2, it was Square's last racing game. It's also unique in that it's a CD-ROM game instead of DVD-ROM, so you'll have BIN + CUE files instead of an ISO; and it doesn't take up very much storage space either.

Unfortunately, it has very weak self centering in the steering. I think it was made for a sim racing wheel. You can get used to it on a controller by making use of your brakes before was turn and counter steering after you clear the apex...

best pinball handheld ever for sure!

Screen looks so crispy clean

best review ive seen so far, something you can do next time is maybe som "secret console" game testing with third-party games. Anything from Hades to Octopath to NFS HPR would be greatly appreciated, just avoid showing first-party games.

Got mine yesterday!

I wish it had a macro/hotkey button like the 2S.

Where do you get the custom rom from for Android 14 thanks

Beautiful handheld, weird ergonomics 😭

Thousand Arms

Hey man, very solid review and overview! I just got mine in black and love it. It's a solid upgrade from the RP4P and it's also a solid companion to my Steam Deck OLED. Thanks for going over everything, the info and perspective is helpful for a non-tech savvy person like myself. Looking forward to more videos in the future!

This was a good video

I’ve had mine for few days. It’s so nice the OLED and controls are responsive, my buttons are fine no loud noises. I have Anbernic 556 and 505 and prefer this. It runs most PS2 games perfectly. Had to mess with the emulator settings on the 556 with a lot of PS2 games. Frontend is fast and smooth as well. Very cool.

Here's a tip
Do bookmarks so people know what you are tapking about

Chill vibes on the channel bro. I’ve subscribed. Another pioneer of the retro community, good luck😎

My only complaint is the loud clicky action buttons. I like the quiet rubber membrane buttons other devices have, versus loud clicky buttons

Is it better than the RG406??

Is there Castlevania: Curse of darkness or Lament of Innocence in the system?

Just order after watching many videos. Look forward to connecting my Viture Pro glasses with this.

Hello great content 👌
Are you try paper mario gc on dolphing ?

How many nits?

Wii emulation?

you better give that RP5 to her

Spiderman 2 2004 on gamecube

Can anyone confirm if it can play Pokémon colosseum and XD?

The background music reminds me of shadows of evil music 😂

Did you use and HD textures for PS2 gaming or just increased the resolution?

Classic 70s xxx movie music, I half-expected a hairy guy in a dressing gown ask if you needed any help with your handheld.

Oh man, I like 3 out of the 4 colors

Nice video! Would love to see some Need for Speed Underground (the original).

Great video I’m in the space rn of getting a portable emulator. Still torn between this and the Odin 2 mini. Keep up the vids, enjoy supporting small creators! Make it big!!
