I’ve been following the community for about 2 years now. Started with a Retroid Pocket 2+, then picked up a Miyoo Mini for something that was a little easier to take on the go, then added an Anbernic rg35xx. I still think the rp2+ (and now the recently released rp2s) is the perfect 1st device. Generally handles everything up through Dreamcast without issue, 4:3 screen, decent enough buttons, affordable.
If you want something a little cheaper or in a verticle format, the rg35xx or Miyoo Mini+ are both good devices as well. I’ve never used the Miyoo Mini+, but I personally prefer the rg35xx with Garlic os to my Miyoo Mini with onion os.
If GameCube or PS2 are important to you, just get a Deck.
Great move by Retroid. The rp2+ was already hard to beat in my opinion as long as you don’t need pocket ability or to play gc/ps2. Fixing the main negative in the controls and maintaining the $100 price point. Hard to find a better recommendation than this for those looking to get into the hobby.
Had Samsungs for 10 years watching them slowly get worse and worse. Switched to a Pixel last year and couldn’t be happier.

Just curious what the selling point was for those of you that have one? Most of my gaming is retro stuff on my rp2+ or rg35xx and I just don’t see the appeal the pocket has over the Retroid/Anbernic alternatives. Is the quality and ability to play actual carts that big of a selling point for the higher price and waiting?
I use Reelgood. I think it lacks a little on the recommendation side, but I really like the tracking. It also shows me when shows I’m tracking are coming back for new seasons.
It’s the sports for me. I’m a big supercross/motocross fan and they’re on Peacock. Races are sat afternoon/evening but I typically just watch it on Sunday. The year before it went to Peacock I watched on YouTube and it was a huge pita to find anything decent and avoid spoilers. Pair that with the Premier League, Indy and sports car racing, and I’m fine with $50/year. I find Peacock to be a much better value than everything except Max.
