Not sure to be honest, I made sure and backed up my games when I sold the Odin 2 but appreciate I'll need to setup the Emu's up fresh on the Odin 3

Emu setup isnt too hard but would be nice to take my Winlator container - that said the rp classic gpu is low end so wont be playing much 3d anyway.
Itll top out at Saturn and Dc i guess but could try a bit of 3d in Winlator
I received mine recently and have just downloaded some ROMs and emulators, going to watch some videos about Retroarch setup soon. It is more of a learning curve than I anticipated, but hopefully will be worth it!I have lost the love for my Retroid Pocket 5 at the moment as I think I have finished tinkering with it and now looking for the next thing. Will prolly sell it to make space for the Thor or the Odin 3
Won't buying another handheld just be the same process though? Albeit different hardware

Yes pretty much and the various nuances between each of them. I think I spend more time setting up than actually playing games on it. At the moment having a mess about with the new version of GameHub which apparently has Steam cloud sync support, but I have yet to get it to work properly.
I tried some app and managed to login to steam on my odin 2 mini pro. I could see my games, but nothing launched (as it was apparently using an outdated version of winlator)
I went back to using winlator latest version where things run fine (just no steam connectivity)
What needs to happen is winlator development to add wifi & steam support, then it would work.

Unless you buy a non android handheld, yes. Also to note the retroid pocket 5 and mini support rocknix
I havent tried it on my odin 2 as i think sleep doesnt function great
I can only get Gamehub to down sync from Steam , but not up sync back to Steam cloud at the moment. But I got a feeling in a few more days , Gamehub will have cracked it
no i think its called the miyoo flip it looks like a game boy advance sp.AYANEO Flip DS? Its a chunky monster and pretty expensive - $1140 32GB/2TB / $1400 64GB/2TB

AYN Thor would be my choice for flip but im eyeing up the Odin 3 with the SD 8 Elite. Just slightly annoyed at the change to Nintendo button layout.

There's the Miyoo flip - https://miyoo.co.uk/product/miyoo-flip-retro-gaming-consoler/
Cortex-A55 chip, so tops out at PSP and Dreamcast
Upcoming there's also an upcoming Miyoo mini flip, probably with not as good hardware due to the size - https://wavelengths.online/posts/a-miyoo-flip-mini-is-incoming

Just purchased the retroid pocket 5 in snes grey my first retro handheld.
Actually I got a refund from Ebay and decided I will buy new. Best place to get a retroid pocket 5 front and is it better to put the games on yourself ?
How rude

Just order direct from Retroid.
Yes you obviously have to put all your legally backed up roms on your own.
Ordered a RG35xx Pro last night - as there was an event on Aliexpress and a £10 off voucher, so ended up paying £41
Not quite sure what system the dual analogs are used for on a H700 chip device, but £41 is a bargain
Maybe some light Dreamcast and N64
PS1 games was my thinking.Not quite sure what system the dual analogs are used for on a H700 chip device, but £41 is a bargain
£41 was definitely a bargain as it's already arrived and sat at home waiting for me. Hopefully my 256GB microsd should also be here today.
I've never really played any N64 or Dreamcast specific games, so have been busy looking into games today

Depending on the game, I still prefer using an stick over a d-pad anyway. Mostly games where you are holding the same direction for a bit. So RPGs mostl; think walking. Given these make up 99% of my gametime, it becomes pretty important to me
Console and Micro SD have arrived. Unfortunately didn't realise my USB SD card reader is so slow (it's a USB2.0 model) - currently taking an age (3 hours!) to do an image backup of the microsd that came with it.
New micro SD reader ordered as well - might get to play on it tomorrow

I had a Sandisk one, but it stopped reading sd cards all together! - https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07G5JV2B5
I've had others too, UGreen, Belkin, Anker. If yours stops working and isnt the Integral, id say get one as its only £5.

I've got a real hankering for a 4:3 device now. There's been a couple of new ones announced since the RG477M a few months back - there's the RG476H, which I love the look of, but it annoyingly has a weaker SoC than the 477, plus an all-glass front which I'm not keen on. Plus there's the Ayaneo Pocket Air Mini, but the screen is smaller, no price announced yet, and the design and colour options aren't my favourite compared to Anbernic.
I'm really hoping Anbernic just merge the RG477M and RG476H, and release a 476 with the internals of the 477, keep the analog triggers, use a better fan and a non-glass front. Endgame device for me right there.

C'mon there is no such thing as endgame in this hobby
