@@RyanRetro1 yay i got pinned :) you touched on the performace mode a lil, you should do a fps comparison on a heavy game like zelda breath of the wild on the silly secret console
Love that I was so interested in this and you went full hands on showing it off. I really appreciate it keep up the great work and I hope your channel takes off 🎉
20 days already, so many videos man, thank you so much! Ryan, can we expect you to cover other handhelds in the future? If so, can we know what is coming up? You mentioned the Portal, I would love to see your attention to detail for that device! 🍻🤘🏼🔥💪🏼
The audio issue is a problem with the RP5 review units. Retroid stated that the problem should be sorted with the retail units. Maybe you need to update your RP5 to the latest build.
Just wanted to say very detailed and well put together video mate 👍🏻 could you do a video of what it's like in docked mode on HDMI TV and how mapping the controller works?
Hey Ryan, awesome channel. (Just subbed) I really like the idea of making a pokemon themed video with all the pokemon games. If its going well, maybe you could also do a zelda theme video.
Alternatives to Guitar Hero that cater specifically to button gameplay are Rock Band Unplugged, a PSP game that has you switching between instrument tracks in order to keep a score (with a mode that lets you play standalone), or the DS games LEGO Rock Band (similar but more casual focused and much simpler) or Rock Band 3 (more like Unplugged but honestly pretty brutal), and of course, Fortnite Festival, which can be played through Android itself, and through many game streaming options, all of which allows for adjusting for any latency issues.
Hey man, just got my first handheld device but im actually wondering about the the performance modes and fan. 1) When playing Ps2 or Yüzu, should we not atleast use performance mode and some fan activated? 2) Brings me to second question, whats the max temperature we should allow our device to go up to before becomes a problem? Thanks
Nice video! I'd like to know if the Picross 3D games work well with the touch screen. Also curious whether the Switch game "Portal: Companion Collection" runs. Having portable portal on this machine would be amazing for me.
That's a lot of effort to get widescreen on windwaker 😂 there are literally settings built in to dolphin that allows you to get widescreen without downloading or using any codes, your method was very counter productive
While that may look similar, it is not the same as using a Gecko code. The UI is stretched when using Widescreen Hacks (Dolphin even tells you this next to the setting). The Gecko code I showed completely fixes the UI issues and it looks better than using Force 16:9.
I would love to see you do an Odin Portal comparison as well. Just how much faster are the higher performance modes? Can it bruteforce nearly playable games?
How does it feel having the d-pad on top versus the thumb stick? I am really concerned if will affect the experience playing games that utilize thumb stick function. I have not been able to find any opinion on it. Would love to just hear what you think about it. Thank you for the video.
have you started to see any banding on the light to dark grey tones? Reason I ask is thats an issue with cheaper OLEDS,, the RG556 has really bad banding on certain colors , i tried several units
I think the reason people want directions in cycling between layouts, is because sometimes people want to just glance and then be back to main screen gameplay. So cycling would really disrupt the action
Nice video, thank you. Can it connect to more than one external controllers at the same time? What is the max concurrent connection? Thinking about multiplayer games.
I've heard people say that connecting a keyboard and mouse to an android device, while possible, tends to make the mouse feel floaty unlike how it feels on an actual PC. (I'm asking cuz I'm planning on using moonlight on this, while connecting a keyboard and mouse. Unsure if the mouse would "feel" right")
@@RyanRetro1 Thank you, much appreciated. most videos i've seen looked like it works perfectly fine. Just wanted to know it "feels" fine too. maybe play a shooter with a mouse and keyboard or something. wanna know your experience :)
Hi Ryan, great video and great channel - already subscribed. Can I ask - if you run some of the older systems - say Final Burn Neo or Neo Geo and connect the device to the TV via USB-C - HDMI cable. Can you then upscale the system to run at say 4K resolution? Would the console feed the 4K signal to the TV? Now obviously I mean older systems not newer ones. I am just curious if the device could act like a nice portable upscaler and if so what the quality would be. Also II am very interested in how the sound is routed when connected to the TV - maybe you could cover this in one of future videos? I am waiting for my RP5 to arrive - would be cool to receive it before christmas, but in the mean time I have your channel ;)
Do you use pal or ntsc and what would you recommend, since pal is easier to emulate, but ntsc is more fps and someone on reddit mentionend pal may stutter on a 60 hertz screen?
@RyanRetro1 it's very good, i bought it a few months ago and love it on my phone with a controller but i haven't yet decided wich android handheld to buy (i only have a couple of cheap linux handhelds) i'm very torn between the rp5 and the odin portal because i can't justify buying both
Really curious to see if its possible to get games like Streets of Rage Remake, No Mercy Rom Hacks like WWF Legends or Gta Vice City with mods running via winlater on this.
Hi there! I’m having issues with gecko codes, any time I add and enable one then start the game, it just sits on a black screen never actually loading the game. Any idea how to fix this?
Hi Ryan, would you know if Grant Theft Auto 4 or 5 can be played via winlator or some other emulator? Also if certain switch games featuring a guy running around in the wild with a master sword, out of breath for princess Z works? Advance wars rebootcamp as well? Thank you
Love your videos! Can you please test gothic games on switch emu. Maybe diablo 2 switch version as well? Im not sure if u tried game streaming, my plan is to stream my gaming pc with amd videocard, hope it goes smooth, i got fast internet and wifi 6. Hopefully it can kill the reason of having steam deck for me, because i sold my oled steam deck due to cash reason and being just too huge.
i wonder whats the benchmark score in the tomb raider goty running on winlator 8 rev1, i have my samsung s20fe sd865 giving me a score of min fps:31.3, max fps:51.7 and average fps:43.3, @854x480 resolution and all config at stock in the game
A dev working on Winlator has shown he has Steam working on the new update he's making right now. When that update is released, I'm going to be testing more Winlator right away!
The Alex Jones game! 😂 A meme for publicity for a "news" site I personally think has alot of merit. I watched a full playthrough of it and it actually looked somewhat difficult.
Lo primero es agradecerte los vídeos que realizas 🎉 y lo segundo es: podrías probar dos mandos inalambricos conectado al tv? Y algo con winlator? Tal vez juegos con mouse? Muchísimas gracias, eres un crack!!
I might be late because this video is two weeks old, but for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate you need to use cheat codes to cap the game at 30 or 60 fps - otherwise, the game will be runninf like total crap
So Ryan you have to add this game to the try and play list, Shadow Warrior 2 on PC through winlator. It's such an addictive game, Think Doom Eternal gunplay mixed with Borderlands weapons and magic skills...
Pretty sure whoever recommended the Alex Jones game was trolling, Ryan - I wouldn't waste your time testing that game. He's a far-right American talk show host and conspiracy theorist who is best known for claiming a very big US school shooting was fake and directing a *lot* of hate towards the families affected.
What's not ready? The RP5 is shipping now and people are posting them arriving on Reddit. They have a huge backlog of orders to get through but they're ready.
Informative while having fun? You have the perfect channel!
Thank you so much!
@@RyanRetro1 yay i got pinned :) you touched on the performace mode a lil, you should do a fps comparison on a heavy game like zelda breath of the wild on the silly secret console
Will you get to test MH Stories switch version at some point?@@RyanRetro1
Love that I was so interested in this and you went full hands on showing it off. I really appreciate it keep up the great work and I hope your channel takes off 🎉
Thank you so much!
Thanks for the tip about the gecko codes for widescreen, that's a life saver!
You're welcome!
I second this, invaluable info! Tidbits like this make these videos gems.
Thanks Ryan for answering the question. Looking forward for your next video.
You're welcome!
You Make great informational yet entertaining videos, I love how you answer the comments and treat this like a community. Keep up the good work
Thank you!
awesome video definitely thinking about picking this up this christmas.
Thanks a lot! If you end up grabbing one please consider using my affiliate link :)
Another very informative video! Very clear and detailed, thanks much!

I'd love to pick up all the handhelds! I am strongly considering putting an order in for the Portal! And I'll cover lots of others too!
Love the videos! :D keeps me excited for my unit can't wait I went with the gamecube colors
Glad you love them!
Keep up the good work, I want you to go viral af
Thank you!
The audio issue is a problem with the RP5 review units.
Retroid stated that the problem should be sorted with the retail units. Maybe you need to update your RP5 to the latest build.
Great to hear that
@@RyanRetro1the sound issue was fixed with the firmware upgrade. Once you patch you can test it again.
Oh thanks for the answer about the geko code !
You're welcome!
Thanks for answering my earlier question on controller latency. Great videos. You got a sub from me :)
You're welcome! Thank you for subscribing - I'm happy to have you here
I think the big gamecube test is Metroid Prime 2 with a widescreen hack. Would love to see that test, thanks
Just wanted to say very detailed and well put together video mate 👍🏻 could you do a video of what it's like in docked mode on HDMI TV and how mapping the controller works?
Thank you so much!

Update fixes the soind output through hdmi
Fantastic news!
Hoping you test Zenless Zone Zero with the RP5. Thank you!
I'm enjoying the channel and it's helpful. I'm most curious about batocera on the pocket 5
Glad to hear that! I'm also very curious about that
Hope I get that shipping notification soon!
I hope so too!

And can you test samsung dex if that wil work? Please

That's a lot of effort to get widescreen on windwaker 😂 there are literally settings built in to dolphin that allows you to get widescreen without downloading or using any codes, your method was very counter productive
Please let me know the built-in setting to get perfect widescreen in Wind Waker without a code because, as far as I'm aware, it doesn't exist.
@RyanRetro1 you just force 16:9 and go in to dolphin enhancements and enable widescreen hacks I have done this on my Odin mini...
While that may look similar, it is not the same as using a Gecko code. The UI is stretched when using Widescreen Hacks (Dolphin even tells you this next to the setting). The Gecko code I showed completely fixes the UI issues and it looks better than using Force 16:9.
I would love to see you do an Odin Portal comparison as well. Just how much faster are the higher performance modes? Can it bruteforce nearly playable games?
I've put my order in so I'll definitely do that but I won't be getting mine for a long time 🫠😂
I would love to see Deus Ex Human Revolution on Wii U as I really want to play that game portably
How does it feel having the d-pad on top versus the thumb stick? I am really concerned if will affect the experience playing games that utilize thumb stick function.
I have not been able to find any opinion on it. Would love to just hear what you think about it.
Thank you for the video.
I'd prefer it if the thumb stick was on top for sure! It's not a problem though, it's more comfortable than I expected
@RyanRetro1 Thank you 😊
Do another video on 69 days pls
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Nice.
Lol @@RyanRetro1
Nice
Ok Elon
Is the right trigger to close to the buttons. Do you accidently move the stick.
Not for me, no. I've never accidentally touched the wrong button even once.
@@RyanRetro1 Sorry I mean Right Stick, not right Trigger. The Right stick looks too close to the buttons
@@Wrain. It's not a problem at all - I've never touched it by mistake
have you started to see any banding on the light to dark grey tones? Reason I ask is thats an issue with cheaper OLEDS,, the RG556 has really bad banding on certain colors , i tried several units
No banding at all
Do one at 37 days please 🙏
I think the reason people want directions in cycling between layouts, is because sometimes people want to just glance and then be back to main screen gameplay. So cycling would really disrupt the action
Yeah I completely agree with it, it'd be much better that way
Would love to see more comparisons between Android versions of PS2 games like Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance.
I'll test it out in the next comparison video!
I think they'll start just sending you the new devices.
I hope so!
Nice video, thank you.
Can it connect to more than one external controllers at the same time? What is the max concurrent connection? Thinking about multiplayer games.
I'll be testing that for my Couch Co-Op video I'm making next week
I've heard people say that connecting a keyboard and mouse to an android device, while possible, tends to make the mouse feel floaty unlike how it feels on an actual PC.
(I'm asking cuz I'm planning on using moonlight on this, while connecting a keyboard and mouse. Unsure if the mouse would "feel" right")

Hi Ryan, great video and great channel - already subscribed.
Can I ask - if you run some of the older systems - say Final Burn Neo or Neo Geo and connect the device to the TV via USB-C - HDMI cable.
Can you then upscale the system to run at say 4K resolution?
Would the console feed the 4K signal to the TV?
Now obviously I mean older systems not newer ones.
I am just curious if the device could act like a nice portable upscaler and if so what the quality would be.
Also II am very interested in how the sound is routed when connected to the TV - maybe you could cover this in one of future videos?
I am waiting for my RP5 to arrive - would be cool to receive it before christmas, but in the mean time I have your channel ;)
I'm going back to my home today so I can finally make a video about connecting to my TV! I'll try to check as much as I can
Are u in the uk ill pay you to set mine up 😂.
When I get mine im after ps1/psp GameCube and ps2 games
Subbed great video
I'm in the UK for one more day haha I'll make a setup guide a few days later
How is the latency when connected to the screen?
It's great!
Question, will some wii u games work? Atleast some 2d games? BTW new turnip driver is released, maybe performance video?
Wii U works great on this
Do you use pal or ntsc and what would you recommend, since pal is easier to emulate, but ntsc is more fps and someone on reddit mentionend pal may stutter on a 60 hertz screen?
I'm using NTSC where possible for the extra frames. It's nice to have the possibility of a few extra frames!
Can you try the beacon launcher? It’s really rare to see people use it so i’ve never seen it properly setup with all the games on a newer handheld…
I haven't heard of it but I'll look into it
@RyanRetro1 it's very good, i bought it a few months ago and love it on my phone with a controller but i haven't yet decided wich android handheld to buy (i only have a couple of cheap linux handhelds) i'm very torn between the rp5 and the odin portal because i can't justify buying both
Will you ever think about doing a review on the AYN Odin 2 portal?
I just put my order in
Really curious to see if its possible to get games like Streets of Rage Remake, No Mercy Rom Hacks like WWF Legends or Gta Vice City with mods running via winlater on this.
does it have bypass charging??
Not sure if you've tested it already but could you test Live a Live on Switch?
I haven't yet - I just added it to my test list!
And yes we want u to test a odin portallllllll plsss
The order is in!
Any update on the audio issues docked ?
Fixed with an update! Now there's an option in the settings to choose whether you want the audio to come out of the console or the TV
@@RyanRetro1 I don't see that option in my settings and im up to date. Is it somewhere im missing?
update: I found the option and it is still not outputting audio
I got the black model
In person does the dark blacks melt seamlessly into the rest of the housing?
Yes it does!
Hi there! I’m having issues with gecko codes, any time I add and enable one then start the game, it just sits on a black screen never actually loading the game. Any idea how to fix this?
How many weeks did it take it to be shipped once you ordered it?
Mine is pre-production so I received it in 3 days
Yh would like to see the Odin portal
Glad to hear it!
I think I’m get one soon. Is the screen a lot better the pocket 4 pro ?
Yes it's a lot better. If you get one, please consider using my affiliate link :)
3ds: can I rotate it and play in portrait mode with the top and bottom screens correctly orientated? (even if awkward?)
Yes you can
Hi Ryan, would you know if Grant Theft Auto 4 or 5 can be played via winlator or some other emulator? Also if certain switch games featuring a guy running around in the wild with a master sword, out of breath for princess Z works? Advance wars rebootcamp as well? Thank you
Does it wake from sleep with a bluetooth controller?
Can you play online with friends with this device?
it's already been 20 days?! Mine isn't even shipped yet
Could you please test N++ on switch? Couldn't run it on my rp3+ so would love to know if it's possible on the rp5
can you do a gameplay session of different PC games? from steam link or moonlight streaming
I have a Moonlight video on this channel
Is there the same screen problem as Retroid Pocket Mini?
They're both OLED but this one is bigger. I think they're pretty much the same except for the size.
what controller are you using?//snes
It's an old 8bitdo one I think it's an SN30 Pro
Love your videos! Can you please test gothic games on switch emu. Maybe diablo 2 switch version as well? Im not sure if u tried game streaming, my plan is to stream my gaming pc with amd videocard, hope it goes smooth, i got fast internet and wifi 6. Hopefully it can kill the reason of having steam deck for me, because i sold my oled steam deck due to cash reason and being just too huge.
Oh and can you try using crt shaders? I really love the oldschool crt screens making old snes games for example more pretty
Thank you! I have a video on X Cloud and a video on GeForce Now. They both work very well!
Do you plan to review any other retro handhelds?
Yes I want to!
Can you stream movies? Netflix etc?
Netflix and other streaming apps aren't working for me so far
Where did you get that 8bitdo controller? I thought those weren't made anymore
This is my brother's one he bought years ago
i wonder whats the benchmark score in the tomb raider goty running on winlator 8 rev1, i have my samsung s20fe sd865 giving me a score of min fps:31.3, max fps:51.7 and average fps:43.3, @854x480 resolution and all config at stock in the game
Can you test star wars rouge squadron for GC or PS2.
Would like to see if you can get red dead redemption running on winlator!
A dev working on Winlator has shown he has Steam working on the new update he's making right now. When that update is released, I'm going to be testing more Winlator right away!
Please try gothic switch game, thanks!
I've added it to my list!
Please try yakuza games! (Ps2)
Good idea!
@RyanRetro1 thanks a bunch!
Can you add chapters to your videos?
Sure, give me a moment
Please please test it with PS5 remote play!!
I'll try
Any chance you can test echoes of wisdom?
It wouldn't open for me
@@RyanRetro1There's a video where it shows the gameplay definitely try different emulators the guy was using sudachi which runs amazingly
Kirby planet robot please😢
The Alex Jones game! 😂 A meme for publicity for a "news" site I personally think has alot of merit. I watched a full playthrough of it and it actually looked somewhat difficult.
Does it comes with cheats? Or is it possible?
Has anyone received a white one? I haven’t seen any on youtube or reddit!
Not yet. The real life pictures just got posted by Retroid a few hours ago!
I hope you can get enough money from youtube to review other handhelds i really like your reviews
Thank you! I just ordered the Odin 2 Portal. So I'm really hoping I can get some views to afford it 😂😂
Lo primero es agradecerte los vídeos que realizas 🎉 y lo segundo es: podrías probar dos mandos inalambricos conectado al tv? Y algo con winlator? Tal vez juegos con mouse? Muchísimas gracias, eres un crack!!
I will make a video about 2 controllers next week! And you can check out my Winlator video:)
I bet you could solve the TV sound issue by connecting to a bluetooth speaker.
For sure
Very curious to see how Primal runs on ps2. Game can be an absolute b*tch to run so curious if it tanks the rp5
We want more Switch game testing like super mario odyssey
Nintendo might strike his channel, it isn't a good idea.
I might be late because this video is two weeks old, but for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate you need to use cheat codes to cap the game at 30 or 60 fps - otherwise, the game will be runninf like total crap
Thanks for the tip!
So Ryan you have to add this game to the try and play list, Shadow Warrior 2 on PC through winlator. It's such an addictive game, Think Doom Eternal gunplay mixed with Borderlands weapons and magic skills...
I'll check it out!
You never answered my question😞
Sorry, what was it?
@ if it could play Sonic x shadow generations
Pretty sure whoever recommended the Alex Jones game was trolling, Ryan - I wouldn't waste your time testing that game. He's a far-right American talk show host and conspiracy theorist who is best known for claiming a very big US school shooting was fake and directing a *lot* of hate towards the families affected.
Thanks for letting me know - I've deleted it from the recommendations
Play SpongeBob battle for bikini bottom on either GameCube or ps2 please!!
I love Spongebob so I'll look into it
No one but promoters are getting these. They are not Shipping wait they will change the release date because it's not ready.
What's not ready? The RP5 is shipping now and people are posting them arriving on Reddit. They have a huge backlog of orders to get through but they're ready.
