Going to order either this or the RP4P what one do you think i should choose 😂 I play snes all the eay up to ps2 no 3ds or ds since i already have a 3ds
It is a tough choice, and it changes a lot with the pending release of the RP5 and Mini. For me, I use the RGCube for just about every game except the PSP library or the harder to run PS2 games; for those, I use a Steamdeck or RP4 Pro. The RGCubes portability and comfort make a huge difference. I would suggest considering the RGCube or waiting a few weeks to grab the RP4P if and when the price drops. If the price does not drop, consider getting an RP5 if you don't mind the size increase. You will also soon have the RP Mini as an option so take a look at that one as well. Lots of choices, all great ones. I don't think you will be disappointed with either choice.
@@muzzworks The reason I'm trying to pick right now is Amazon's going to give me 50% refund because they messed up a shipping issue so I'm trying to pick between the RG Cube and RP4+ I currently have the RG405M so I'm looking for somebody's opinion who played both
Ah, that changes things a bit, as you already have a more portable 405M. Go with the RP4Pro. It gives you access to all the widescreen systems (PS2, GC hacks, and some Switch) and provides a nice performance boost over the 405M. You can still use your 405M for all your 4:3 and lower games. The RP4Pro is a better all-around device, and at a 50% discount, it is a no brainer. It does everything the Cube does and more, so you have more options for playing your library if you diversify your handhelds a bit more.
@@SoulForMany Well, RP4Pro will play all that you are interested in, as long as you don't mind the larger pillar boxing. So, if it's one device for everything, then RP4P might be your better choice. You can also look into syncing your save data using syncthing if that is what is keeping you from using multiple devices. Syncthing running on android devices is quite easy to setup so setting it up on the 405M and RP4Pro would be easy enough see RGC guide : retrogamecorps.com/2024/08/11/guide-using-syncthing-with-retro-handhelds
Performance is good. It is only a 720p screen, so low settings and bumping up the FPS work well. The biggest issue is the same as on most small phones: small fonts and text can be hard to read. You are also taking a non-zero risk of being banned with the keymapping. I have not heard of anyone being banned using Anbernic's keymapper, though, and I have used it without any issues. For a quick play session in bed or on the go, it is good. I would not use it as my primary device to play Genshin Impact; go with the RP4 Pro or wait for the Retroid Pocket 5 reviews, as it will have a bigger screen and Retroid also has a touchscreen keymapper for Android.
For sure you can, but there is something about a dedicated handheld that makes the experience better. For the majority of emulation, the performance isn't really what matters. The experience really plays a huge part. A decent Android controller attachment + a decent phone will for sure deliver better performance. The processors in the flagships today (or like you said even the ones from 4y ago) will run circles around 99% of these devices.

@@muzzworks see my other dilemma is in a once device type of dude I don't like to play on multiple devices

Rp4p is budget king!
Agreed, the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro is better overall. The RG Cube is better in some areas, i.e., d-pad, portability, and ergonomics.
Rp4p is the définition of uncomfortable, even with the grip its awful to hold for more than 2 minuts. I returned mine
I wanna get on so bad. Ps2 on the go sounds crazy
@@JBentham1523 maybe you have bigass hands because I have medium hands and it's super comfortable with the grip.
@@juniorelizondo4144 i dont u just know nothing about premium until you try something like the odin 2. Rp4p is trash. Its like playing on a toaster
What are your top 2 handhelds, if this is 3rd?
I will do you one better and give you my top 5: Stramdeck, RP4 pro, RGCube, Miyoo Mini Plus, PS Vita.
@@muzzworks Stramdeck 🤣 thats a new one
Lol :)
What is the game(arkanoid) at 12.30?
Gunbarich, released in 2001 in arcades, I believe. It has been ported to Steam (PC) and Switch as well, if I remember correctly.
@@muzzworks thanks
How well does it play Genshin Impact?
Performance is good. It is only a 720p screen, so low settings and bumping up the FPS work well. The biggest issue is the same as on most small phones: small fonts and text can be hard to read.

U can have better performance on a 4 year old android phone
For sure you can, but there is something about a dedicated handheld that makes the experience better. For the majority of emulation, the performance isn't really what matters. The experience really plays a huge part. A decent Android controller attachment + a decent phone will for sure deliver better performance.
