if PSV and switch emulation progress further on android or there is good linux build for it then amazing device and only big downside is left stick placement . For now good hardware limited by software .
Because this is oled, I really dont recommend using bezels on your emulators. It looks great without them because black is actually off. And saves battery by having black bezels.
What do you mean? Performance? The rp5 is better in raw power and because it's a snapdragon chip it is even more compatible with emulators etc., but it also costs more than the anbernic.
There also is big stick pointy stick, dual sticks, even pointier stick, pointy stick that goes boom, jumpy stick, thingy that shoots sticks, katanas and 2 machine guns.
Great showcase! So many devices; so many games; so little time. But hey, watching your gameplay footage gives me the eager anticipation to try them out when time allows!
I have to agree with you, the higher end devices that have the power to play the newer consoles should have the left joystick up top. My biggest complaint about most high end devices lately
Love the video. Hard disagree on the dpad on top thing. Retroid is pretty much the only manufacturer doing symmetrical sticks for high end devices! Let us have this one!
As someone who already has the RP4 Pro (and an Ayn Odin 2), my biggest 'complaint' (nitpick really) with the RP5 is the choice of SoC. I really think they should have gone with an SD 870 or 888. While the OLED panel is a very nice upgrade to be sure, the overall performance compared to the RP4 Pro is far too similar to justify buying the RP5 as it would only be a side-grade in my use case. That being said, if I didn't already have the Pro and was in the market I probably would get the RP5, again for that OLED panel.
I'm the oddball that wants both sticks on top. But there are no companies that do that 😅 But both sticks at the same height is a requirement for any emulation console I buy.
You will get it before Xmas. Retroid put an information board on their website regarding delivery items. Any orders made with dhl shipping before the 5th dec will arrive before Xmas, and any orders made with 4px shipping before 30th nov will arrive before Xmas.
Great review, thank you. I think it would be cool if you could also mess with their upcoming custom and or official Batocera RP5 build once they are available. Really keen to see the WiiU, PS3 & Xbox360 performance on the device
I like Daijisho. Each to their own! I think this one's in my future. My RG405V never really worked well for me, so this would replace it, and probably most of my other handhelds. Except you can't have my XXSP. LOL
My fav retro handheld reviewer! Was looking forward to your one bro, can you try doing a comparison between the rp4 pro and rp5 sometime in the future? Like what games run better on the rp5 than rp4 pro, as both are very close in terms of specs on paper, but heard SD 865 just has better compatibility, just wondering is it really worth ditching my rp4 pro for this lol
Pillow fort! Thanks again for a great review and the laughs. Agreed: stick on top. Also agreed: sticks too close to buttons is annoying. Especially if not pocketable, give us space.
I really wanted the indigo gamecube one but the second it saw how amazing 4:3 content looked on the black one i ordered it, absolutely can't wait for it to get here haven't been so excited for a handheld since the steam deck
I had to go with the gamecube color way, will be playing mostly gamecube on it. Saw alot of the games can go full screen, if not im taking the black borders for how cool the thing looks. Cant wait for it to ship 😎
This was the review I've been waiting for, TD! I bought the Trimui based upon your recommendation, and I love it! I'm just waiting for them to come up with a Batocera/EmuStation interface for it, because (admittedly), I'm not a fan of the stock firmware. Yeah, the games play, but the limited modding options (compared with other front-ends) holds back what that system is capable of doing. So I liked what I was seeing in other reviews of the RP 5, but was waiting for yours... and I will be ordering this, based upon YOUR recommendation. Keep 'em coming, Bro!
Pretty much an endgame device hug. How about recent history of handhelds, Dweeb? Starting from v90 and rg350 and up to rp5. That would be interesting and even somewhat nostalgic video 😌
Awesome review! Would you consider doing a video showcasing the games that you think look particularly good on the OLED screens of the RP Mini/RP5? I think many people will agree that a great OLED screen can bring new life to old games.
Hey TechDweeb, have been loving the videos! Got a question, for someone who owns a steam deck but is wanting a retro device would you recommend the new RP5 or the RG406V? Your video on the RH406V just about sold me because I love the vertical style. Thanks!
It's that kind of thinking that will allow censorship to win dude. We gotta stand up and fight for what we believe in. If you stand for nothing you fall for anything stop letting them tell you what to do. Trump is back baby!
In the old Tom & Jerry cartoons from nineteen-whatever... our clumsy resourcefull cat that never catch the mischievous smart mouse used to live with his owner in a house. She walks through there yelling with him at some episodes, but we never saw more from her than hes legs. Mocking this aspect in the older cartoons, Cow And Chicken's mom and dad where depicted as being persons without the upper torso despite appear talking all the time. Maybe the same could be observed with TechDweeb person: a skinny nerdish old guy that is just what we already see in his videos, without nothing more to be contemplated over the chest line - despite he used to have a full body when younger, as showed sometimes in the papertoy stories of Little Dweeb.
I appreciate Dweeb's shorter format reviews. They're a great compliment to the longer, more in-depth reviews from the other guys. I particularly liked that you did a mention of the Wonderbread game on the Sw*tch. It seems to be a good benchmark of emulation performance for that console. Even on my Steam Deck, that game chugs. Also, if you're going to make more RP5 content, I'd like to see a comparison to other devices, particularly the RG556, as those two devices share a lot of similarities.
I have the Mini and setup Retroarch with CRT-Mattias... on the same (but smaller) AMOLED it is an absolutely gorgeous way to play NES/SNES/Genesis/etc games.
1) Finally a bigger, better screen. 2) Decent power. 3) OK controls. A recipe for a great handheld. If Retroid can make a handheld that doesn't have stupid issues in quality I'd say this is a buy. I'll wait and see on the last point, I'm tired of fixing their junk. Fingers crossed 🤞🤞 Awesome review Mr. Dweeb, I love the negatives to start off with, there's no such thing as perfect after all.
Great video! Really considering getting this device. Showing how this device performs when using a linux OS (and how to set-up said OS) would be very helpful.
The D-pad is fine where it is. Considering how few consoles prioritize the D-pad over analog sticks, it would be kind of ungrateful to complain about its position. The biggest issue I see is that they need to space the D-pad further from the analog stick, like on a PlayStation controller, so your finger can move between them without straining.
Curious on your opinion vs the Odin 2 mini, especially on ergonomics. I had the same initial reaction to you on the RP5 ergonomics that a top stick and slightly different offsets between sticks and buttons/dpad would have made it wayyy better. Love the video and your content dude!
You're awesome man, definitely the most interesting Retro guy out there! I just bought the RG406V which I really love, but that OLED screen, I also dont like where the DPAD is positioned as well.
@@jimtepedino9295 Yea I'm tempted to have both, I also have PC handheld, the OneXFly, underrated but best form factor out there. Legion Go and Ally are clunky looking.
hmmm... i see your point of view about the "stick on top." However, having the d-pad on top, and the bigger screen is the only reason that I'm interested in this one. It's also the same reason I never pulled the trigger on an Odin 2. Perhaps middle aged men with poor eyesight is not Retroid's target market, but i sure do appreciate it!
Mr. Dweeb, let it be known, I freaking *love* your [device completely still; hand points out I/O] method. I can only imagine how fiddly it must be getting the stills to perfectly match up. 🤓 2:43
Great video. But I watch ur video the other day when u was sick and the next day I came down sick. So yes u definitely spread ur germs over the internet. U have a superpower😂. Great to have a video to watch while I’m under the weather, hope u feel better soon too.
This is a device that I would definitely play a lot of retro video games from Sega, Nintendo and other publishers on while traveling on the bus, on holiday or anywhere, anytime. 🙂 The fact that you can adjust the color of the lighting around the analog sticks is a big plus point for me.
Thanks for the video! Can you please link to where we can download the overlays/borders you have setup? Namely the GBA and the SNES and any others! Thank you!!
yes please more 5 content! i like the blakc model but i think in an attempt to make it less boring and more retro im going to do a GC button swap and throw on a blue back
Great vid, subscribed! Would love to see you explore some of the less obvious features and capabilities of the RP5, like what you can do with it in Linux, or how it handles more obscure emulators like the Sega Model 3 arcade stuff.
Totally sold on this! Like I said in the RPmini video, I had good hopes that this device could be my swiss knife device for all my needs. I think you didn't mentionned it can run Linux too (at least according to RGC's review it has this boot option). Well now I know what I want for Christmas ^^
Great video! This space is really hitting its stride. I'm excited for what's next but I can't justify this after buying a Odin 2 Mini! Do you mind sharing a link to the borders you use?
If you can tell yourself you're now a collector of handhelds, then it's a good thing to buy a new device. You're adding to your collection. You see what I did there?
M opinion about stick placement, Dpad on top is tolerable for stick use and ideal for dpad use Stick on top is ideal for stick use but intolerable for dpad use
Atlast! I've watched tons of gaming hand held reviews, always wondering... Will that play Timesplitters 2, and finaly, i see it on screen (though for GameCube and not PS2). Thank you Tech Dweeb! 10:23
which version of Nether are you using? Most wanted runs in my Odin 1 pro at 2x resolution, 100% speed with hd textures, it should be at least the same on the RP5
Did they just scoop up the leftover LG V series parts and put game controls on it? I have an old LG V35 and the screen/processor are exactly the same, the retroid has more ram, but the rest are almost exactly the same specs, I am wondering if I can hack and convert my old phone to do the same stuff, its just sitting on a shelf right now...
Curious if this can do video out and have a ssd plugged in via a dock so you can run games externally and have a big screen experience but also portability too?
hey there nice channel ! kinda love the freddy kruger pullover lol :D cool image overall. I have a Ambernic RG35XX it was my first handheld and i love it. I bought mine like a year or more ago and alot have changed since then. I went with the RG35XX because I didnt want to go with a Android System , is there any No Brain deal these days for a vertical handheld ? preferably go with the best chip and performance with a good ergonomic feel and good price point? Im not looking to buy a Steamdeck or anything super high end but something to raise up from PS1 to some next gens like NDS/3DS DC/GC or maybe even up to WII/WIIU PS2/PS3/ > HIT OR MISS SWITCH.
@TechDweeb, How would you compare it to the potential and functionality of the Retroid P5 Mini? In no way do i need this, but im always looking for an upgrade. Currently have the RP4 Pro and pretty much every 3.5 variend out there
You might have enjoyed the RP Mini more if you got one with the retro colours. The Saturn one looks super nice. I went with the black one though, because I play with letterboxing.
Love your vids Dweeb, I would like to see streaming set up , and mapping keys for Wii games maybe. Pretty much any videos with your signature dweeb style.
Wondering if you're considering the M4 Mac Mini as a retro console review product, and maybe look at how people could set it up to get the most out of it's powerful chip.
The smaller one is made for people like me. I will never play a game meant for 4:3 aspect ratio on a wide screen. So for me, i would install NES, SNES, GB, GBA, GC, PS1 etc etc. on the smaller handheld. While i use the wider screen handheld for games meant to play on wide screens.

I went with the RG35XX because I didnt want to go with a Android System , is there any No Brain deal these days for a vertical handheld ? preferably go with the best chip and performance with a good ergonomic feel and good price point?
Im not looking to buy a Steamdeck or anything super high end but something to raise up from PS1 to some next gens like NDS/3DS DC/GC or maybe even up to WII/WIIU PS2/PS3/ > HIT OR MISS SWITCH.
@TechDweeb, How would you compare it to the potential and functionality of the Retroid P5 Mini? In no way do i need this, but im always looking for an upgrade. Currently have the RP4 Pro and pretty much every 3.5 variend out there
Usually when I watch this kind of video i'm like, "Cool but I have a Steam Deck"...however I might buy this.
That's what I kind of thought when I saw the mini. I thought the mini would be a good companion device to the steam deck
Yo Techdweeb, that was some slick dance moves bro. :D
I'll teach you sometime.
Dance Dweeb
Dance reveal!
You might have enjoyed the RP Mini more if you got one with the retro colours. The Saturn one looks super nice.
I went with the black one though, because I play with letterboxing.
But can you disable the lights at the bottom of the thumbsticks?
Yup!
I wasnt listening to any reviews till the dweeb dropped his video. Purchased one now ✌️
You'll love it
@TechDweeb I hope so, after I've got it all set up! 🎮🕹️☺️
Finally some Canadian reviews!

Dweeb, I'm surprised you aren't playing the CD audio hacked versions of the Donkey Kong Country games on the SNES. I can't go back
I didn't know about them. Thanks for the tip!
do you have a link for the bezels ?
Love your vids Dweeb, I would like to see streaming set up , and mapping keys for Wii games maybe. Pretty much any videos with your signature dweeb style.
Wii stuff would be great - like do you need to connect a Wiimote or ways to get around this.
Wondering if you're considering the M4 Mac Mini as a retro console review product, and maybe look at how people could set it up to get the most out of it's powerful chip.
The smaller one is made for people like me. I will never play a game meant for 4:3 aspect ratio on a wide screen. So for me, i would install NES, SNES, GB, GBA, GC, PS1 etc etc. on the smaller handheld. While i use the wider screen handheld for games meant to play on wide screens.
