Best Retro Handheld

I ordered from goretroid a couple of days ago. I just got an email today that it’s shipped, so I need to make a start on finding all the files mentioned in the setup video!

ah nice one ! which courier option did you go for ? I ordered mine back on 14th May .

I went for 4PX, but mines not shipped yet as I have added lots of accessories and the official grip as well to my order. I expect yours will be delivered way before mine as im guessing they are waiting for all the bits to ship together.
 
I went with black, I love how the OLED just gets lost in the bezels in 4x3 games. I chose 4px too, something I read about (hopefully) avoiding customs fees.

I only ordered the case with mine, although seeing your post, I did have a little regret that I didn’t add the grip. I’d be interesting to know what you think of it once it arrives.

Yeah i went with the pure white version with the grip , case , screen protector , dock , bluetooth headphones, understandably i dont think my order will ship until at least the 26th May. Yeah will let you know when i get it and how the grip is with it.
 
Played a couple hours of Burnout 3 (PS2) and Trackmania build to race (Wii) yesterday. Upscaled to 3x / 1080p and output to big screen they both ran great, at a solid 60fps with 150-200% speed in Trackmania.
Absolute rubbish from the company who sold me the 406H telling me the following about playing PS2.

Any handheld console, whether cheap or expensive, needs adjustment
 
Razer Edge update! Every PS2 game I've thrown at it so far runs flawlessly at 2x resolution. I rather optimistically tried for 3x at first, but had constant fiddling - 2x looks amazing, and runs great.

Best £100 I've spent in ages!

Try PS3 :)

Which one is it, 2013 or 5G? Apparently the battery was different in both…
  • Razer Edge (2013): 41.44Wh, 2800mAh
  • Razer Edge 5G: 5,000mAh

It's the WiFi version of the 5G - exactly the same, just 6gig ram instead of 8.

Will try PS3, but that may be a tad optimistic

Optimistic is what drives improvement! Thats all about what the 'best retro handheld' is - smallest, most powerful, most ergonomic, easiest to use, best battery life...
Once I know it can play a system perfectly, I move onto the next, then the next... when it starts slowing down, its time to tweak until it can or buy something that can run it! No-one really plays games here! :D

Thanks, I'll take a look at the weekend.

Just ordered a Gamesir G8+, looks like a nice little upgrade on the Razer controller
