- THIS, ladies and gentlemen, is the Retroid Pocket 3 PLUS. It’s a android based, retro handheld gaming console! It’s SUPPOSED to be better than the retroid pocket 3, the non + version. So, what does it bring to the table? Do we finally have a cheap good handheld that can handle gamecube? And PS2? You want to know if it’s any good, right?!? Well yeah. Yeah it is...

Great video, as always! I agree with you that a new device doesn't invalidate an older device. That's the beauty of tech :)
Totally. Plus it benefits us all - If we didn't have such intense competition in this space where these companies feel like they have to release a new device every 4 days to outdo each other then we wouldn't have $150 handhelds that can play Gamecube!
Reverse Alien Technology basically stolen from our friends Aliens the Grey's to be exact not the whites 🤙🤙🍻🍻🤝🤝
@@TechDweeb hey man am in Canada can I send mines I jus ordered for u to update it am not a game tec?
For sure, both are great. Too bad my RP3+ have some issues with the left analogue on PSP, it don´t map, RP3 could do the same for me (CPS3/Neo Geo and older systems)
I find it hard to buy on website, since its pre order :(
Most underrated tech channel on TH-cam. Keep these videos coming love the vibes. Peace and love
Sweet of you to say!
I know, I don’t know how I went this long with out being aware of this guys channel. It’s my new favorite!!! ❤😊
Quite agree. Deserves much more success.
@@rhythmandblues9302 Yeah, just has to drop the fake "dweeb" voice and persona and he'll take off. As it stands now he's just too disingenuous.
@@subzero-ku2wx Y’think? I like it. It’s a USP!
Finally, someone with a sensible take on the RP3 to RP3+ situation. Going after Retroid because they do what every handheld device company does makes little sense.
Judge whether the individual devices are good on their own merits, not because you're upset that you couldn't see the upgrade coming.
I had the choice between both and I still went with the RP3. It still seems like a great little device that ticks the right boxes for me.
Well it makes sense to go after Retroid cuz they're the manufacturer 🤦 they choose to be cheap and scummy then they get called out for it.
@@jurjcluners8490 And that's useless information if I'm interested in the quality of the device. Whether or not you think it's scummy doesn't impact the device comparison and whether viewers should grab one vs the other.
If you want to point out the release windows, mention it as an aside. But don't base your entire review on "I think these guys are scumbags, don't buy this".
@@View619 "I think these guys are scumbags" is literally the best metric. Don't encourage scumbag behavior.
Whether what Retroid did is that bad is debatable because the RP3 itself was delayed for a year, but come on.
They released an inferior product with the retroid pocket 3 (no plus) for no reason other than to screw people for more money.
You should not support that.
@@buster5661 It wasn't for *no* reason, they were ready to release the things when global shipping went to a literal standstill. If they'd tried selling the RP3 a year ago as they initially planned it wouldn't have sold at all, but they weren't gonna just throw them all out.
As far as intentionally making an inferior product so you can launch something better later, hate to break it to you, but that's a very common tactic for tech companies in uncompetitive markets.
I love how you always show what game you're playing!
I was all set to order an RP3 when the RP3+ dropped, so I'm not upset in the slightest. I probably could've gone with an RP2 like you suggested, but more ram and more storage are selling points for me... even if I'm only looking for a portable MAME machine.
Thanks for the videos!
Great review! I ordered mine on Black Friday, lookin forward to getting mine! Got the Odin which is GREAT but not exactly pocket friendly and now this!
Great review as always!
Also wow that orange with black buttons looks so nice
Glad I just stumbled upon your video, this is the best review I’ve seen for this device so far!
I have it as well. Playing ratchet and clank size matters currently on psp on the rp3+. Loving it so far!
nice, i'm gonna have to get one... I was holding off until the the playlist became slightly better on these handhelds, but I think this is the one. Thanks Tech Dweeb!!!
Great video, love this channel! Looking forward to your upcoming in depth performance video!
Been waiting for this all of my life! (approximately couple weeks) the ONLY GC guide I've seen so far for rp3+
Nice vid. Just want to mention that someone has gotten Metroid Prime to work perfect at 1.5x resolution, check the community spreadsheet for the settings.
Nice. I'll check it out. I only tested MP2, not the first. I got the wii version working at 100% speed and playing great, but there was a flickering black box on the screen caused by some setting (I forget which one), but when that setting was toggled it didn't run at full speed. It was SO CLOSE to being perfect, but for that one flickering black box issue. Gah!
Can't wait to see your setup video of the RP3+, just placed order for mines. I think my daughter will really enjoy it
I've already started writing the guide. I'm away for a week but that's at the top of my videos-to-make list for when I get back.
Been watching a few of these types of videos. I like your style, content, slight humour and all that.
Cheers, sub deserved.
Thanks buddy!
I found your videos a little ago and you do a really good job you deserve more subs
Appreciate you saying so 🤓
TechDweeb! You're awesome man! Thanks for all the good content..I ordered the clear purple rp3+ and I can't wait to get my hands on it 😬..until then your videos will suffice!
Aw thanks buddy! I was SO close to choosing the purple. I really do love the look of that one.
@@TechDweeb Yea that clear purple is so nostalgiiic..I just also got the anbernic RG35XX in that color 🟣🟣🟣 BTW I fully intend on taking my powww kiddy V90 to the great outdoors next time I go camping hahaa
I actually wasn't going to get the RP3 and was going to wait for the 3+ so I'm glad it came alot earlier than expected! I already have it and I've been playing it everyday!
THAT'S why I'm glad they didn't wait to release it. If the pitchfork mob had its way you'd not have your new 3+ til next year! :P
Great video! My RP3+ came in the mail this week and I've been loving it. YT videos don't do the screen justice, it is beautiful!
Quick question, how did you change your icon pack? I was looking everywhere to find the setting!
Oh wait, you answered that with Nova Launcher, duh... Great video TD!
Desaturate & Saturate icon packs are awesome, I always use either of those two packs.
okay, dude.... that DOS setup, I want that keyboard and that cool stand you have going there :0 that's an awesome setup
I like your shtick. Concise content, very well put together. Informative without taking itself too seriously. I laughed several times.
I have a couple gaming computers, and a gaming laptop, but I still bought the Steam Deck. It has the best price to performance value out there. It feels great in the hands, can emulate PS3 and Switch rather easily, and it frees up my gaming computer so I can watch TH-cam videos like this instead. It's awesome.
I was thinking about getting this RP3+ but there's a rumor going on that the next one Retroid releases will have some kind of Dimensity chip or something that will play the hardest GameCube and PS2 games with ease. My Steam Deck already does these perfectly, but it would be nice to have something smaller to take around with me that had a battery that lasted more than a couple hours.
Great video. And A&W Root Beer is the best. Barq's is kind of strong. Almost like real beer. I think I got dizzy drinking it once.
I hear ya with the Deck. I'm sure if I had one I would love it to bits. I've almost jumped at used units when they pop up in my local marketplace a couple times, so I may yet!
Great video as always Mr. Dweeb. As a suggestion for the next video, maybe you could do a Moonlgiht guide? I never know if streaming at a higher resolution than the RP3+ is a good idea or just a waste.
I'll add it to the 'videos to probably make' list!
@@TechDweeb Check out Castor! RGC did a video on it, it's awesome! I'm running moonlight in a VM now and my computer is completely available to me while I stream, it's pretty kick ass.
Using a higher res than the screen causes supersampling, which basically makes jagged edges smoother and look better so there is benefits.
@@TechDweeb Ae love you dude
Great content...looking to pick up one of these to go along with my Retroid Pocket 2.
Glad I found a fellow Canadian, most likely watch your videos from now on! Got to love the mild weather we are having in Toronto rate now tho.
Yeah this weather is almost toasty. I can make it to the mailbox and back in my slippers and sweater!
Great vid. I need a 3+ asap. Don't fully understand how all works yet but I assume videos for set up all here somewhere..I'm going in!
The setup process is very user friendly. Check out my RP3 non+ video for how I set it up.
Great review - love the zero bias involved and the genuine excitement. For your old devices hold onto them and your great grandkids might be able to sell it for double what you paid lol
Good point!
Just came across your channel. Awesome stuff.
Maybe I missed it, but do the games all come installed on the device, or do people have to download all the ROMs? Thx.
On this device you have to add your own games
I also recently discovered your channel and i love your Review of the rp3+. 😀 😀 😀
Welcome!
Great mic on your vids, game sounds come out crisp!
When you first popped up in my feed; I thought. Ahhh another retro handheld reviewer..... But after watching some vids. I would affirm that you've earned your niche. It's similar content to others but it definitely has a unique "you" quality. Kudos! Good stuff.
Thanks for saying so!
Great video,
quick question: what version of demon front you play on rp3+?
V105 on FBA, I believe.
Big thanks to you and you're psp rp3 guide, 2x resolution is the sweet spot
Amazing review man! Do you think i should go for it or wait for a new device maybe by end of the year for some little extra juice?
One thing I've learned is that no matter what you choose it'll be the wrong answer. If you buy, a new thing will almost immediately be announced, if you wait you'll wish you bought. I say go for it!
Excelent Review, you have a new subscriptor!. I cant wait for my RP3+, hope it is with me before christmas!!
Welcome! Fingers crossed that you get it asap 🤞
Awesome video and I totally agree with your position on the pitchfork mob. Timing sucked, but the device is incredible. I'm loving it! Even rediscovered how much I love Soul Calibur II and Mercenaries, both running decently!
I'll definitely be looking forward to your setup/tinkering guide. I've watched a couple others, but I am loyal and will totally be biased to your methodology. I also agree with others, and would love a Moonlight guide. I have SteamLink, but that doesn't work for all my Epic and GOG library, even by adding the games to Steam. Also probably works better!
I'm going to wait for the Retroid Pocket 4. I have a Steam Deck which does everything I want to right now, but for the form factor and that screen I'd get one just for my emulation and PC streaming.
However, I'd want it to be able to handle all GC and PS2 games, and they'll also need to add pressure sensitive analogue triggers for L2 and R2.
Good morning TechDweeb! Recently I discovered your channel and loving your content and the care you put into making your videos unique!
I wanted to ask you for Reccomendations on a retro handheld to play the usual but specially dos games like Blood, Doom, Theme Hospital and stuff!! Do you know a good retro handheld that could do those well? Is the Retroid Pocket 3+ a good pick for that?
I saw your video about the Miyoo mini playing dosbox, and it felt like the video was answering all these questions, but I'm worried the screen could be too small for text to be able to read, plus no joysticks... I don't know, this will be my first retro handheld and I want to pick the right one and there's so much to pick!
Thanks for your videos and your content, have a nice weekend!
Yeah I think the RP3 is a good pick (you'd be fine with the 2gb non-plus if you're not looking for higher end emulation like psp or gamecube or ps2). Stay tuned for my DOS games on the RP3+ video!
@@TechDweeb I will, can't wait for it!"! thanks for your reply! :)
man its so hard to get back into gaming 😢 my mom got me evicted from my apartment and made me come home just so she can kick me out. but before doing so i came home from work to her destroying my ps3, ps vita, ps3 & laptop and clothes. i loved gaming after work and i can't believe how expensive some of these things are. im homeless right now and became super depressed losing my access to my only consistent hobby. i hope investing into this will fill the hole of all those consoles i lost. it looks easy to keep charged up on the go and like it can be modified beyond whats been mentioned here. im big into tweaking devices so hopefully i can maximize its usage even more than whats advertised.
watching your videos helped me get thru alot of my problems it helps me get my mind off my situation. thank you for showing me this. hopefully next week ill have enough to grab this. just for the motivational support... idk. im losing hope.
Man that's rough. Hang in there buddy. There will come a time when these hard times will be a distant memory and you'll realize how much the struggles helped you grow into the man you became.
But having games to enjoy is a big part of life for lots of us. Escaping into a game world helps wash away the dust of everyday life. I hope you enjoy your toy and it helps you through the hard times.
Stay strong my dude! I'm in your corner.
As a fellow Canadian, I can sympathize with needing gloves.
Awesome video! I’d love a guide for newbies on setting the 3+ up from scratch. I just ordered one but have little experience with game emulation. It’s just got me so curious that I want to learn more and experiment with it.
For some reason my hands are always FREEZING. Like, my whole body will be totally warm and content but my hands are like popsicles.
@@TechDweeb I hear that. My space heater’s become my new best friend.
I ordered this based on retro gaming corps' review, then I kinda regretted that after the retro dodo review. Now I'm just lmao thru this entire intro.. you arr great! Thank you for the laughs 😂
Interesting very informative 👍 now what I want to know is either with the HDMI cable can you stream the emulator games on twitch using a game capture card with obs operating system?
You definitely can!
what would be the difference of buying a high end gaming android phone and attaching a controller vs this? what would be more practical?
I'm gonna make a video about that! The short answer is a phone will be way more powerful but you'll also spend more and it won't be a dedicated gaming device that has built-in controls. There are ups and downs to both approaches.
@@TechDweeb Alright. Thanks! Looking forward to it!
Been using the Poco F2 Pro with the Razor Kishi controller for a little bit but just found it clunky and needs a lot of setup. Found it too big overall, heavy and not that portable (or convenient if carrying phone and controller separately). Literally just got the RP3+ yesterday, it's a great step up from the Pocket go, which was my go to for taking everywhere with me.
@@cowtc Thanks for the this!
setting it up was time consuming but sooooo worth it. i love my RP3+ so much.
Hi TechDweeb. I recently discovered your channel and like it a lot! I've been a gamer since i had my first Atatri 2600 Jr. Now i'm grown up, married and a dad. And i still love it.
The RP3+ is really great. Got mine a few day ago. Sadly i'll be done setting it up soon. Somehow that#s the greatest joy to me. But playing it will be fun too.
Oh, i also got an orange one!

Welcome!

Awesome video!!! Loved the outro.
First time seeing this channel.
Great work man..
Hahahha I don’t know why, but the part when you crack the root beer and the can key breaks off, and you just drop it into the soda really hit my funny bone very well!
Glad someone finally pointed that out. I was particularly proud of that one 😁
Excellent video! Please could you make a setup video, to show how to setup each of the emulators on this device. Would be very much appreciated.
Many thanks
Great video, just some Audio feedback, I think you’d benefit from using a pop shield or adding some dampening on your high frequencies, using AirPods and there are some harsh frequencies in your voice audio!
Keep making these, love catching up on them on my commute!
Thanks for the tips! I will look into the frequency stuff 👍
What launcher are you using for your RP3? I really like the look of that home screen
Nova Launcher with the Desaturate icon pack
@@TechDweeb Thanks man
thank you, you helped me understand the dolphin emulator so much. i got so many games to work.
Glad I could help!
When I think of retro gaming, my mind wanders back to the Godfather of gaming, Zork, I still recall the many hours I spent, hunched over my friend's Apple II, trying to figure out how to open the book (use the rusty knife). Good times.
lol ur sudden escalations with all the new retroids at the beginning kinda killed me
Editing style unique. Looks great
Good work TD, loved the outro too
Haha thanks bud! Appreciate your support! And don't forget the pokemon cards when you come over ;)
@TechDweeb what's your favorite handheld? I'm looking into handhelds I'm new so was wondering what's best handheld. I'm learning about rp3+, odin and ambernics console.
Currently the RP3+. I don't have any of the higher end devices like the odin. I think if you're looking for a handheld to play up to PSP with about 50% gamecube & PS2 compatibility then the RP3+ is a great choice. If you want 100% of gamecube and more advanced stuff like 3ds or wii then you should go for something more powerful like the odin.
a shallow review presented magnificiently... subbed and liked
Great video as always. How is the RP3+ with XBOX Game Pass?
With tax and shipping, the 3+ ends up at $45 more than the 3. I decided to replace my kids Fire kids tablets with the 3 so I can get them away from crappy mobile games, and load it with video content that I choose for trips. That price was a big factor for me.
The 3 is still a solid device. No reason to go for the 3+ if you're not planning on playing much gamecube or ps2 or whatever.
16:09 how many games does the system have, (in comparison to the one on the batocera drive you reviewed?)
Oh this one comes with no games. Gotta add your own.
First time viewer, and first time commenter here. A video of popular Gamecube/PS2 that run well on the RP3+ would be awesome. 50% of games run? Cool, which 50%?
Subbed, cant wait to get my RP3+
You've got lots of fun on the way!
@@TechDweeb My last device was a 351p from Anbernic so I'm excited about PSP emulation.
I'm strictly a PC Gamer - all my life the only time I had a console it was an Atari 2600. But you've ALMOST convinced me to get one of these ... toys. And it's orange. That's gotta count for something.
I've seen the way you collect PC parts. It's for the best that you don't get into retro gaming because you'd need a warehouse.
So the link you provided to purchase this unit, is that the manufacturers website or is that like to your own personal store??
That's the manufacturer's website
just tryna ask here but is there a way to get the retroid home live wallpaper (the moving blocks one) cause i wanna use it on a different device? any help would be much appreciated. thanks
I don't think so. I couldn't find a way to access those directly. Seems like they're built into the android build they're using.
@@TechDweeb thanks but if there is something similar or close looking to that it would really help me.
Do the old and new pokemon games run pretty good on r3+? i seen a video from 7 month's ago and it was running pretty buggy
Yeah, as far as I've seen. Which ones are you worried about?
Haha, I remember asking if I should wait for the retroid 3+. Glad I waited. I was stuck on wanting a handheld that can run gamecube games because of eternal darkness. On that note... how does Eternal Darkness run? lol
Mr. Techdweeb, I love your videos and bought myself a pocket 3+. Thanks for the awesome content buddy.
Nice! Glad I could help you out 👍
Wow, that flashback transition tho. The budget is growing by leaps and bounds!
Thanks for noticing. It took a team of talented editors a week to do and cost $10k, but it was so worth it.
I also think the 3 plus is great for people who want to play the older games but at higher resolutions making them almost like a unofficial remaster.
Great video! Could you tell us if this device can run diablo immortal?
Hello and congratulations for the channel, how can I get orange moving squares in the home page?
That's a live wallpaper built-in to the RP3+
Thank you!
I’m a dweeb/nerd and this is entertainment and you have another subscriber. Lol I was confused at first but you got my hooked, keep it up. I just bought a RP3+ and love the review.
Sounds like you'll fit in here juuuuuuust fine 🤓
It does have free games, but is it really worth the same as a switch light? I priced them out and they both came out to C$260 with shipping.
I wonder how it is so powerful? I have an i7(Y series so 5w) laptop and it struggles with DS games let alone anything more powerful
I have a question for you. With the Retroid pocket 3 plus can you connect a 8bitdo Lite2? Also what is the maximum sd card the Retroid pocket 3 plus can take? Thanks in advance 👍🏻
Hello Techdweeb, at 8:07 wich tool did you use to stretch the icons? On mine they are so little :(
You can do this in dick, the icon options can be accessed in the menu at the top right of the screen. Check out my Dig video
These are starting to pop up on Ebay for pretty cheap. Thank you Retroid Pocket 4!
Heroes 2 on a handheld?! I never even considered DOS emulation. You sir, are a gentleman. And i thank you.
I wanna ask sensei Dweeb, what is the best PS1 emulator for this device?
I tried duckstation and it had issues running xenogears on 3x times resolution with integer upscaling
I personally use PCSX-Rearmed in Retroarch, and use the 'enhanced resolution' option. I don't know if it's the 'best' but it's what I like. If you want widescreen hacks try the swanstation core.
@@TechDweebThank you, will try it 👍🙏
Tbh just buy this thing if you're curious. It's worth the purchase. honestly I'm thinking of buying a regular pocket 3 just for gba, snes, n64 and dreamcast.
are these buttons better then the first version , i order it once but my thumbs hurted so much after 20 ish mins , and a screw or sumting was moving arround init , and i did like it , evrything i tested work fine too , and this ones better , still in doubt wich one i get as long as i can emulate anything accept ps 3 , maybe even switch , but i dont wanne give china 300usd for a knock off device , better give it to nitendo itself maybe , but jailbreaking something that already old and still 300usd in stores i dont feel like it
Do you know if Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec runs well on this device?
Ive seen others test the PAL version of GT4 and almost get it playable, so I'd think the easier to run Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec may run well.
So after having both for a little while, got my plus for Christmas. I find myself using both pretty consistently, I’m replaying wind waker on the plus. The plus actually gets warm sometimes, the battery drain is different too obviously. Later in the night when I’m done with WW and I want to play something different I put the plus on the charger pop my micro sd out, and have been playing arcade mode tobal 2 for the ps1 on my RP3 and it’s magnificent. The regular 3 it’s almost like it’s so optimized for what it does it never gets warm. I thought I was gonna gift it to friend and just use the plus solely, but now I no longer think that anymore.
That's a really good point. I've noticed the same thing.
Is HDMI still important, I would prefer a second type c port or a pre installed dex like software
Yeah I'm with you. Displayport over USBC would be better for sure.
What device do you recommend that can play GameCube and ps2? Not including the steam deck
That's a tough one, I'm probably the wrong one to ask tbh. I don't have higher powered handheld emulators, I use my PC for powerful stuff and just stream it to my RP3/3+ (because I do most of my gaming at home). But if I was picking one up I'd probably go for the Odin Pro.
Is it avalible? The retroid website images showed that it was a pre order. I ordered mine 4px so it's gonna take awhile
Yeah I think so. It's the same as it was with the RP3, they just leave 'pre order' up there for whatever reason, but it'll ship quickly once you order.
I was ready to buy it on launch day, ready at 7am EST, then reality stuck when I added to cart with shipping that it's like $240cad which is quite a lot for me. Backed out. Still kind of regretting. Maybe RP4!
Yeah I'm in Canada too, and once you see the price + shipping + conversion it's always a disappointment.
since it runs android apps i am curious whether it can run kali nethunter and some other security related apps while having support for the hardware like the wifi chipset and bluetooth (if the device has bluetooth). there’s not much when it comes to an affordable portable, toy-like handheld gaming device which can double as a pentesting tool. if it does, that would be amazing to set it up with a keyboard and mouse. an appeal is that it is not a phone nor a traditional computer and would be compelling if it could do more than just retro gaming.
otherwise, i’m pretty happy with the miyoo mini v2 as it is for now and the flipper zero. now, if there was a way to combine the flipper with a nethunter phone into a retroid pocket style gaming device would be remarkable.
I've never heard of the flipper zero before, but I just looked it up, and fell instantly in love with it. Because it's orange.
Awesome video... Where can I get this to buy????
Goretroid.com
So Much Efforts 🔥
So I gotta ask.. What is the stand that you have your RP3+ on towards the end of the video?? Link please
Which do you prefer more or recommend? Retroid pocket 3 plus or the Anbernic 405m?
I'm more into the RP3+ personally.
@@TechDweeb Thank you so much! Do you still think its worth getting it now or wait for a newer version?
i am still playing RP2 for 2D retro suits me just fine. For anthing more recent my Gamesir X2 Pro with my trusty smartphone does it.
The only problem is the price of getting one. $150 is good. But add in slow two-month shipping. If you actually want it in weeks instead of months, you need to pay a LOT more for shipping, so this needs to be factored into the cost. Still, I ordered one, and even paid more for the "sometime this century" shipping option. This is going to be my first REAL retro gaming system (previous powerhouse was a PowKiddy V90), and first Android emulator, so I am looking forward to your guides.
in my country it's 177 usd including shipping. The only shippping option is dhl.
i paid $160 and it came in 2 weeks ago. so far its the best handeld ive owned. I don't even use my miyoo mini anymore. only downside is setting up all those emulators, games, and launchers takes a while.
I have the Retroid Pocket 2+ and i love it, I'm sticking with it till they put the speakers and start and select back on the front.
I'm SO with ya on the speakers. Speakers should face the user of the device, seems pretty obvious to me 😒
Speakers don't bother me cause I only do audio with earphones. But that start select placement sucks.
Im torn between buying this or a ps vita, can this run ps vita games aswell?
This is the first video I've seen from you, and I think you're a legit hilarious guy already. The video itself was enjoyable and informative, too.
Thanks for saying so!
I would love to see a video of how to get RPG maker games running on the RP3+ and see what their performance is like...
Good idea 👍
Your reasons for not having a Steam Deck are the same as mine. I have too many PCs. (Two desktops, and an aging laptop that performs about the same as the Deck anyways)
I'll probably wait until the Retroid Pocket line can run Citra better.
Plus. I am doing ok with the Retroid Pocket 2+ right now.
I was playing with my RP2+ when I was doing some comparative testing, and I'd almost forgotten how much I love the form factor on that one. The RP3 feels way more generic than the unique much more retro feeling RP2.
That spreadsheet is super helpful
