We have a variety of Retroid Pocket consoles that have been configured for optimal performance by using dedicated emulators for DC, N64, GC, PS1, PS2, PSP as well as Retroarch. This process of setting up emulators and the proper files has already been done for you saving you many hours of tedious work and allowing you to jump into the gaming action.

The long-awaited Retroid pocket 3 and 3+ are in stock, the RP3 is available in 6 color variations with 3GB of RAM and 256GB of SD card space with configured Retorarch, Redream, Duckstation, M64Plus FZ, PPSSPP, and other emulators, you'll also have access to additional emulators if you choose to use them and may have to further change settings to your liking but the vast majority of work is done for you. Save time by having this tedious work taken care of and jump into gameplay. Improvements have been made to the overall design, button quality, widescreen ultra-sharp display, and updated Android OS 11 and 12 which is very responsive and easy to use, performance has also been improved with better CPU, APU, and increased 3GB RAM, and we will be testing its abilities, preliminary testing indicates that it can play.

The RP3 PLUS can play some PS2 through aethersx2 and GC but it'll depend on the game itself, some games require more resources and may not run as smoothly as others.

Android emulation: learning curve for Android emulation requires some effort, you must be familiar with operating and using the various Android emulators mentioned above that are included, although these emulators are set up it is the user's responsibility to know the basics of how to use them, there are plenty of tutorials on basic knowledge regarding these emulators. If you are new to Android emulation, perhaps consider something like a Linux OS system if you're unsure how to use this software.

Where the RP3 handheld shines:

*Excellent display and sharp resolution, pixels are sharp and brightness is just right

**Game streaming, you can set up your streaming apps such as Moonlight, PSplay, cloud streaming, etc.

**Design, the design is similar to the Nintendo switch lite but thinner and is easy to carry around. The start and select button arrangement is not ideal at the top right of the unit but everything else is perfectly arranged, buttons are responsive and have a similar feel as the PS Vita, stacked shoulder buttons are always ideal and it is also easy to hold, additional buttons and rubber membranes are included if you want to swap out for softer buttons with more travel.

**Battery Life, after many hours of testing we noticed the battery is excellent, estimated at 7-8 hours of battery depending on brightness and use.

**Android 12, has an improved interface and intuitive gestures similar to most Android OS devices on the market, if you enjoy gaming on an Android phone then you'll love the updated OS.

Please note that having basic knowledge and learning about the associated Android emulators is important and will result in better performance when used properly, if you're looking for a more streamlined operating system then look for a different system we may have such as the rg552 or the rg503 which utilize Linux and are more streamlined, all in one place emulation and yield similar emulation results as the RP2+.

 

The 256GB version offers a selection of 8-64 bit and newer systems like Dreamcast, Nintendo 64, and PS1

The touch screen is an additional feature that has been added to the new system, browsing through the Android operating system is much easier and more fluid with the touchscreen capability, and getting into and out of games is a breeze and quite a positive experience, gaming on Android was something odd but with the touchscreen and controller input it has improved drastically, for further information please refer to our excellent customer feedback on this item.
