Best Handheld in the $200 Range (RP4 Pro, RP5, ACE)
In this video, I'm making a quick comparison between these 3 handhelds: Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, Retroid Pocket 5, and GameForce ACE. All these 3 handhelds are in the $200 price range, and they can play until PS2/GC/Wii (most titles, not all). However, I will try to show briefly the pros and cons of each handheld to make it easier for you (to make a purchase decision) in case you are planning to get one of them.
The RP4 Pro (Android 13) is the smallest of the bunch, having a 4.7-inch IPS screen, which makes it more pocketable and portable. It has the Dimensity D1100 chipset (can play up to PS2/GC/Wii) which is similar to ACE’s performance. It also has hall sensor analogue sticks, active cooling, good build quality, a 5000 mAh battery, and costs $175.
The RP5 (Android 13) is the best of the three with its 5.5-inch OLED borderless/bezel less screen and compact size. It has the Snapdragon 865 chipset which performs better than the RP4 Pro and ACE (more PS2/GC/Wii titles). It also has dual boot option (Android/Linux), hall sensor analogue sticks, active cooling, good build quality, a 5000 mAh battery, and costs $219 (best price-to-performance ratio).
The GameForce ACE (Android 13) is the biggest of the bunch with its 5.5-inch IPS screen. It also has dual boot option (Android/Linux), hall sensor analogue sticks, active cooling, good build quality, the biggest battery (7400 mAh), and costs $229. However, bear in mind that this is NOT a plug & play device, it requires some tweaking/tinkering (might have hardware issues such as stiff shoulder buttons/triggers and screen light bleed, no customer support, software issue such as sideloading some apps via apk files)

Hi I need some help with Naomi emulator for R36S I got 6 games installed and the game is not loading at all what do I need to do?
Did you put the Naomi BIOS (naomi.zip) or (naomigd.zip) in the RetroArch system/dc/ folder?
How you get 60 fps? I have heavy drops to 40
What file type is your game rom? CHD?
@@ironcladcobra I tried chd and iso. There is no differences. NFS Underground runs 40 fps too
@@SolidGearful That's weird, I'm using 'iso' roms too, which region is your 'iso' rom? Mine is US (NTSC), I heard PAL roms perform a bit better.
@@ironcladcobra what version of pcsx are you using? You installed via emudeck or standalone version from pcsx2 website?
@@ironcladcobra very weird. I have 60 fps in desktop mode but 40 fps in game mode. Any ideas?
This device is so underrated. I bought two of them and use them frequently. Flashed Batocera instead of Rocknix and added portmaster. Another great feature of using Batocera isbthat you can add emulators. Rocknix uses lime3ds and pandora for 3ds emulwtion amd its not optimized. With Batocera you can add the Citra pack and 3DS emulation has been great.
The Ace is like my ex boyfriend..... a 5.5 inch.... uh.... display...... but unsupportive.
😂😂
I'd say the RP5 as it has the best of both worlds (android and linux/rocknix) , plus the amazing OLED display.
I completely agree and that's what I said in the video. 😉
I would be very happy to get this game too. But I'm still looking for this game. Thank you for showing and greetings from RetroGameCity 🤗☺
Thanks man, I really appreciate your kind words. 🤩
Can you install android in this device ?
It is an Android device but when it came out, the Android build was not ready to use, which is why I installed ROCKNIX (Linux) on it. 😉
@ironcladcobra I install rocknix in device not in microsd
@@abselammohamedahmed4203 As you saw in my video, I also installed ROCKNIX on the device (I only installed it on the SD card only the 1st time boot up).
Shame the creator of this device is a fraud who stole a bunch of peoples money.
I agree, I saw many people reporting that on the GameForce Discord (which I'm there).
@ironcladcobra I was one of them. I managed to force a refund through PayPal but a lot of people weren't so lucky.
I'm waiting for Anbernic or Powkiddy to make a handheld with this chipset
There were some rumors that Powkiddy was supposed to release the RGB10MAX4 with this chipset.
Schlechter vergleich Unlock die fps Dan siehst du Vergleiche
I see it has Commodore 64, Apple2 and Amiga 500. Is it possible or easy to configure those games which were on a keyboard systems to be able to use the controller? I ask as I bought an external retrobat drive and can't play those games on it.
You can try, it could be possible but I honestly haven't tried it.
A setup video that didn't show any set up.
How did you manage to set up such a layout on the joysticks? I can't do it in the settings for some reason
Which joystick layout do you mean? The RGB lighting or the controller settings? 😉
@ironcladcobra controller settings
@@artjombahtinov8656 I honestly haven't changed any controller settings, it's on default. 😎
How bro whenever I play a 60 fps ps2 game on my steam deck it just slows down
That shouldn't happen, what file type is your rom? CHD?
Hey, awesome video, but I had a question about the game. I am able to play up to the part you are at, but right after you get into the city the whole game crashes. Does this also happen to you?
Not really, could it be your rom file type?
Wait why does scraping need to be done on a pc? I’ve done it before over WiFi on my brick with Surwish CrossMix OS which I assume isn’t much different than this. My issue is it’s not working currently. It justifies that was last night, got my second brick
Scraping can be done both on PC or on the device (I prefer the device). 😎
Thanks for the video!
You're welcome. 😎
Why does mine can't detect psp and ps1? I have other emulators but no psp and ps1
This is weird, did you try refreshing the roms?
After creating a rocknix card for my device and following the boot option, im unable to return to android after shutting down my device. It just keeps booting into uboot. I cant figure out how to return to android. Has anyone else had this issue?
Here is the link to ROCKNIX Discord server (I'm there as well), I'm sure there are many people that can help you: discord.gg/kR7AtbbE
Did you ever figure this out? Having the same issue
I have same PSP granturismo edition, is that rare? And how much cost? Also I looked for the price of the case for PSP and I couldn't find anything anywhere, do you have idea how much it could cost?
i got it for my 9th birthday 2009 , now im almost 25yo..
Yes, that's rare now, if it's in mint condition with original packaging, it would be around $250-300. 🤩
@@ironcladcobra thank you buddy, yeah its in good form, something like yours
@@miklikcz8899 🥰
You are using the wrong emulator and the wrong settings! Even on my Retroid Pocket 5 the game runs perfectly with 2.5 resolution😅
Which emulator are you using? I doubt this game would run well on the RP5.
@@ironcladcobraI use Neathersx2 v1.5 3668. With the right settings, Dirge of Cerberus runs without any problems at 2.5 resolution!
Do they still sell this?
Yes, they are $55 on HARDKERNEL's website. 😉
I've gotta remember to back when I was a kid, this would blow my mind. Especially on such a pretty console.
I know, right? 🤩
hi, it is possible to play it online? through dolphin emulator?
I haven't tried it but I think it should work.
Great video, thank you
You're welcome. 😎
Wondering if Rocknix will be available for the soon to be released odin 2 portal?
I'm not sure, hopefully. 😎
It's not scraping Dreamcast box art for some reason. Not a deal breaker, but it's kind of a bummer.
I had that exact game back in the day. Your video brought back those memories. Simple times!
Awesome 🤩
Hi. Thanks for the video. Can you try Resident evil 4 and Diablo 4?
Something is telling me to get this vs the ayn Odin 2 …. Just because I know later the games will be optimized for the chip
%8 battery drain in 6 minutes...
I agree but I think this is a demanding game.
So who actually one ? Didnt see the draw and who won ?
Sorry man, I'm currently on holiday, I'll announce the winner on Jan 6. 🥰
Love you 💖💖
COOL BRO
Can I just get a controller I really wish to own one controller one day 🥺🙏
If I giveaway a controller one day, you can enter the giveaway. 😉
Hopefully I win, I really need one 🙏🙏🙏🙏
who won?
Sorry man, I'm currently on holiday, I'll announce the winner on Jan 6. 🥰
need case compatible with jsaux case mod for rog ally x to attach it behind
30 watt compatible for rog ally and legion go ?
Yes 😎
great video! hope i win!
Thanks 😎
Is the giveaway finish?
Unfortunately yes, it was valid until 3 days after the video release date. Don't worry, there will be other giveaways in the future. 😉
Do you have any issue with the controller? Because i got some issue with my far cry 5, i cant use my gamepad
I really don't, try to re-map your controllers.
Wish I could get one 😊🥺🙏
Hopefully 😉
Love the clear blue colorway
Me too 🥰
this or the X55? I recently bought my first ever handheld and decided on the X55 because its larger and looks most comfortable with the palm nubs at the bottom, but i havnt even gotten the device yet and i feel like i regret my decisions already
You're right, the performance (chipset) is the same but the X55 is a bit better as it has larger screen, double the RAM (2GB) and better ergonomics and build quality.
This guy is so goated
😉😉
