I use these, never had an issue.
Hello new here I used to use my psp and vita for my retro needs but they both crapped out so I luckily found all these wonderful retro handhelds to choose from. My main need was portability so I chose the clamshell type. But really like the big screens on the retro pocket classic, rg4ov, rg4xxv but not sure how pocketable these are compared to the 34xxsp.
My plan is I think to keep the 34xxsp for all my retro ps1 and lower but I really want the retroid pocket mini v2 since portability is still very important to me but with the power up to switch almost.

I can’t add pictures not sure how I’m on my phone for reference
Thank you

Grabbed a class 10 SanDisk and have reflashed. Noticeably quicker now. Wahoo!
I found the screen on the RP mini too small and the buttons to click clacky for my liking.
RP mini cant do ‘switch almost’ my Odin 2 mini couldnt either and thats about 2-3x as powerful. Basic Switch games are possible mind.
Is that the v2? Or the original? Thanks for the response. Yeah a long as it can do ps2/dreamcast/gamecube that’s good. If not the retroid pocket mini v2. What else is a good one? Within 200 range. Thanks
NP. It looks like they've updated the screen on the RP mini v2 to the same screen as the Classic. Same internals on both the mini and mini v2

$179.99 for the mini v2, which comes to $194 / £145 delivered
Flip 2 $224 / £167 inc delivery. Same chipset, 5.5" screen and a bit chunkier. But its a flip so protects it, but less ergonomic.

Perhaps I spoke too soon. Now seems slow to boot again. Not sure what's going on?! Can the number of roms on SD2 affect boot speed?
Just bought a rg40xxh, it will be here tomorrow morning, was told by the seller that it will play ps1 great and a lot of dreamcast and n64, is that right? im quite a noob when it comes to retro handhelds.
Should look at a few videos on the tube but like to get non reviewers opinions also..next year i may get either a steam deck to play some retro stuff on or maybe something like a retroid pocket 5,
by then i guess there will be a lot of new handhelds to choose from though.

Will be fine for those - I have the rg35xx pro which is the same processor etc
Awesome! cant wait for it to get here now, after looking at vids i see the sticks are pretty poop, but thats ok as most the games i will play dont have to be deadly accurate on the sticks.
Its great that thr H700 chip in the rg30/35/40 devices now paired with 1GB RAM can run Dreamcast.
My RG35XX original with its 256MB RAM certainly could not run DC properly, nor N64.
Welcome to going down the rabbit hole of emulation handhelds. I started with an RG35XX in December 2022 then got a Steam deck. Inbetween now and then i've had maybe 20 different handhelds!
Actually I started with a PSP Go and using CFW to run Gameboy advanced. It was also perfect (as expected!) for PSP and hardware emulation for PSX.
It comes with a 500 and something gb card, paid a little over the top from a seller that ive bought from before, it comes all setup with custom os as well
Yep, did have a psp that i modded YEARS ago, forgot how to do things like that now though as was much younger and more patient lol,
It was definately more work a few years ago, same with computers / OS setup in general.
I would advise you to do some configuration of your rg40xx h though. Portmaster is supported on Knulli, ROCKNIX, muOS. I would highly recommend muOS
