My RP5 is in the 4PX facility waiting to be shipped out, yay! Sadly, I haven't heard of many android devices getting their widevine upgraded. I think it's a licensing thing the company has to "opt into" (like meaning "pay for") otherwise you just get the standard support which means SD Netflix. That said, the RP5 is probably better served as a portable content viewer in that regard. I won't say the ES-DE devs don't deserve to be paid for their time and effort and I agree if you want to pay them for it the price is fair compared to the premium version of Launchbox (but at least Launchbox has a free version). I appreciate that the alternative in Daijisho is clean looking and functionally better than the stock launcher.
Glad to hear that! Hope you get it soon! Netflix even in SD looks fine on the RP5 screen. I'm not sure of the exact resolution, whether it's 480p or 576p etc but it looks more than enough on a 5.5 inch screen, especially with the great colours the screen has. Daijisho is great!
@@BeBoe69 I ordered it Nov. 8 and got the tracking number via email on Dec. 3. Though it's possible that, depending on which model you ordered, what extras you ordered, or the shipping you used it might affect your place in line. I ordered the black model with a case and screen protector, but I think I heard they were prioritizing the gamecube color models. I don't know how true that is.
I’ll definitely be ordering my RP5 through your affiliate link, thanks for all these great videos! Now I just need to decide between black and GC color…
Thank you for the video! But 😢 It's clear that there is a significant video output delay when both devices are on one screen. Image on RP5 changes before the TV image does. If you don't notice it in full speed, just slow down the video. Do you notice it? It will be very noticeable especially in games like Mario that you have shown us.
There's no need to go so far into the analysis; you just need to see him at 34s press the controller button and notice how much delay there is on the display to realize that it's completely unplayable. th-cam.com/video/QtitQWrR1_M/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jrqGt9s8UKTOS0xe&t=34
@ Yeah, that’s about what I figured, after all they would make a perfect Christmas gift. Thanks, and appreciate all your hard work! Anytime I get interested in buying a device I always come to you!
You should map you retroarch hotkeys so Select+ ... does actions, like Save state, load state, reset, go to menu... AAAND, exit to ES-DE ( Select+Start similar to Retrobat, Batocare, Recalbox ). This will allow a better smoother use as home console.
Hey Ryan, awesome content. One question: When talking about the youtube app, you said it was in 4k. I thought the RP5 only outputted a 1080p signal through the DP? Cheers
I contacted retroid’s customer service on their discord server about this a few weeks earlier - allegedly it does support 4K60Hz as well as 1080P60Hz, but I hadn’t asked how either were supposed to be enabled 😅. May follow up on it later though for clarity!
BTW, the Rocknix 20241120 built is released and seems like improving a lot from the original Retroid released last month. I am curious to see how it makes all smooth and perfect like most Linux consoles do compared to ANdroid.
Hey Ryan! I got a question after I saw you on a Reddit thread. How did you fill up your games catalogue? I got my RP and have recently bought a 512GB SD Card. The problem is, which was surprising to me, is that I am actually struggling to fill it up! You said earlier in a thread that 1TB might have not been enough for you, so I am curious how you chose what to play.
If you're only picking some games you want to play you'll be fine with 512 probably. I need 1TB because I am constantly downloading new requests I get in the comments. It's mostly Secret Console games filling up the space. They're mostly at least 10gb each and some of them are 20gb+ which quickly starts to add up! If you play mostly games earlier than that, you should be fine!
Is there a built in microphone on the RP5? It is silly but there is a left field dreamcast game I always find myself going back to play every few years that requires a mic. It's called seaman. It's a silly stupid game but I always found it hilarious. Lol
Thanks, but did you have any issues with Key Mapper? However I chose to map a function for back/home the buttons I used would then not function at all in any emulator or when navigating/mapping the RP5...
I remember the old retroid launcher having an app section. I also remember being able to touch and hold the game to bring up a menu that would let you add or customize the box art cover. Did they make the new reteoid launcher more combersom?
Not sure if you brought it up and I missed it, but I didn't see anything about battery bypass. Would this just destroy your battery if you did this consistently?
Nice - my RP5 doesn't work in the Retroid dock (so I keep that for the 4Pro), no output on HP DisplayLink4k, but a cheap £8 dongle seems to do the trick. Weird
ES-DE is far more aesthetically appealing, Daijishou is easier to use and a more complete Android handheld experience out of the box. If it wasn't for es applauncher, I'd probably stick with Daijishou. But luckily applauncher has our back :)
is the odin 2 worth the extra cash, considering all that you have said in your videos I dont think it really is, I think this is the most you can get for your moneys worth
It depends on what you value - the Odin 2 has more power and the left stick on top, which is more comfortable imo. The RP5 has a better screen and is cheaper and smaller. If the Odin 3 adds an OLED screen, I'm going to pick one up for sure to compare to the RP5. After using the beautiful OLED of the RP5, I couldn't go back to an LCD now.
@ there is the odin 2 portal coming with a 7" 120hz OLED screen and it is supposed to ship this month, if you backed up the project on indiegogo but again 329 for base and 399 for pro seems a bit much, I do not think it is worth it
Can we enable charging separation on this device like its there for Odin? Like the power goes directly to the device without charging the battery when its enabled? Or is there any 3rd party tool for it? The battery on these handhelds make me pretty anxious, not gonna lie
Yes, that is the default behaviour. If you want to keep the screen on like I did, you have to go into Handheld Settings to enable that. By default the screen will go black when you connect an external monitor
Yes, by default the screen will turn off when you dock it. I enabled the screen in the Handheld Settings because I think it looks better for making this video
How long do you think you can keep up with the one video per day schedule and not running out of video ideas? 😂 Or do you have plenty of ideas in the drawer?
From the Recalbox wiki: _No-Intro focuses only on games published on cartridge media (Master-System, SNES, N64, Gameboy, etc). No-Intro keeps only the best roms, without errors or changes, and which are as close as possible to the original cartridges._ (also I'm discovering TH-cam has trouble with copy/pasting text with bold type)
Great video.
Fyi- Daijisho has downloadable themes in the settings menu. You can even change the banner art for each platform
Oh thank you so much - I'm going to check that out today!
yeah... that's the content I was looking for about the Retroid Pocket 5
Thought so
Mind boggling how you know so much about so many aspects of these things.
That's the power of research and trial and error!
@@RyanRetro1 Do you have a job? 😂
@@gazetronix Many of my 'lesson prep' times may be becoming video prep time 🤫
Thank you for all of these wonderful and useful videos for RP5. Mine should be in my hands any day now and I can't wait to set it up.
You're welcome - Hope you get it soon!
Another great and helpful video! Thanks Ryan! 🍻🤘🏼🔥
Thanks for the comment!
Great idea for a video! Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for your videos on this device …I really find them so helpful before making a purchase on this
I'm so glad to hear that!
Could you do a comparison video, daijisho vs es-de?

Google Translate didn't fail your words.
Hope everything is going ok in S. Korea. Keep safe and thanks for the video -
Thanks a lot for that - let's see what happens
this RP5 content is just sick :D
Thanks!

@@BeBoe69 Same for you! I hope your wait is as short as possible.
This is a great new channel
Thank you so much!
Thanks. $5 is a steal for esde and I want to standardize between Android and PC. Bummer on lack of 4k on rp5
I’ll definitely be ordering my RP5 through your affiliate link, thanks for all these great videos! Now I just need to decide between black and GC color…
Thank you so much! Those 2 are definitely the most popular colours. I think you'll be very happy with both!
Kodi could be a good option for video playback, seems to support the controller well ootb. Probably quite powerful given some setup time.

@zespacedog exactly
The new update fixed a lot of the issues with docks so I'll make a follow-up video next week as that should all be fixed now :)
@@RyanRetro1 that's cool, we are waiting
I'm def gonna put some backed up DVDs on mine just to have it in case of another hurricane wifi outage
Great idea
My RP5 was ordered 8 days ago, tracking hasn’t updated but im very excited nonetheless
They're still working through orders from November as they had a huge amount of pre-orders. I hope you get yours ASAP!

Oh how can I access them?
@@RyanRetro1 I guess am think wallpapers pack in settings

6:14 MX Player works well, most of the time. If you torrent something that has low Audio Quality, switch to VLC to raise that Audio loss.

Well thought out, as with all of your videos. Have you done one on dual-booting with Android and Rocknix/batocera?
Thank you! Not yet
Awesome! What about 4-player games like Mario Kart or Smash Bros on the same console??
Great vid! Can you turn of the RP5 display while displaying to the TV?
Thank you! Yes, by default it will be turned off when connecting it to the TV. I turned on the setting to keep the screen on
Is there a built in microphone on the RP5? It is silly but there is a left field dreamcast game I always find myself going back to play every few years that requires a mic. It's called seaman. It's a silly stupid game but I always found it hilarious. Lol
Just saw that the mini has one. So it's probably a safe guess that this does too
@linuxes9681 thanks for letting me know
Thanks, but did you have any issues with Key Mapper? However I chose to map a function for back/home the buttons I used would then not function at all in any emulator or when navigating/mapping the RP5...
great vid keep it up
could u test how fortnite mobile runs on high porfomance mode on retrod pocket 5 and high settings in fortnite
10:59 You can just download box art and replace it on the picture tab.
Thanks for the information!
I remember the old retroid launcher having an app section. I also remember being able to touch and hold the game to bring up a menu that would let you add or customize the box art cover. Did they make the new reteoid launcher more combersom?
I couldn't find the apps in here so either they made it worse or I'm blind
the only issue i see here is that it doesnt charge while using it with the HDMI adapter. hopefully the dock restocks soon so its easier to set up
Not sure if you brought it up and I missed it, but I didn't see anything about battery bypass. Would this just destroy your battery if you did this consistently?
I can't find a setting for battery bypass
@RyanRetro1 thanks for the info! Still bought one :p
Nice - my RP5 doesn't work in the Retroid dock (so I keep that for the 4Pro), no output on HP DisplayLink4k, but a cheap £8 dongle seems to do the trick. Weird
I've heard a lot of issues like this. Not working in the official dock is ridiculous, this is going to have to be addressed with a software update
Can you show streaming consoles and PC while docked? I know it's a weird request, but if it works well it would be very useful to me
How does Stremio performs on this setup? Does it works well with a controller?
Works great with a controller!
ES-DE is far more aesthetically appealing, Daijishou is easier to use and a more complete Android handheld experience out of the box.
If it wasn't for es applauncher, I'd probably stick with Daijishou. But luckily applauncher has our back :)
Does the console screen has to be on connected to a TV ?
@@ppowerman5000 no it's off by default. I turned it on in the settings so I can quickly set up things for the video
@RyanRetro1 ok,.thanks.
Please make a video oh how to install & use “ES Applauncher” & “Key Mapper” - thanks
They're really simple and come with their own guides so I think you can do it easily

Are you in Korea?
Last time I checked, Retro Achievements are broken in Daijisho. Big flaw for me.
Just turn off your rp5 and press and hold the power button for rocknix and it will have emulationstation

I'd rather say full-stop, yes. I teach the American way for my Korean students so I'm used to that these days

You need No Intro rom sets. Then you will have all your roms correctly named so you can easily scrap everything without renaming anything
