The newly released Retroid pocket 4 consoles are available in 6 color variations with an upgraded 4GB and 8GB of RAM, 128GB internal storage, and 512GB or 1TB of SD card space with configured Retorarch, Aethesx2, Dolphin, Redream, Duckstation, M64Plus FZ, PPSSPP, games library, and other emulators, You'll also have access to Daijisho launcher as well, Daijisho is partially set up to cover the most popular systems and you can also easily add more systems to the launcher as well (instructions provided).
Which version is right for you? If you are a serious gamer looking into playing more of the newer generation systems as well as expanded libraries of 3DS, GC and PS2 then go with the RP4 Pro with 1TB storage (covers about 35k titles).
If you just need general gaming experience and broad coverage of GC PS2 and older systems then go with the RP4 with 512 GB of storage, this will cover all the major systems before the early 2000s era of gaming (covers about 30k titles).
The RP4 and RP4 Pro will support PS2 through Aethersx2 and GC but it'll depend on the game itself, vast majority of these libraries are comfortably playable

Android emulation: The learning curve for Android emulation requires some effort, If you are familiar with using Android phones or iOS then the learning curve will not be too difficult as you change apps. You'll become 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 duty to learn 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 this handheld shines:
** Performance: We can now comfortably play many of the titles that were very difficult to emulate on the RP3, you will notice that the GC and PS2 libraries will widely expand to cover the vast majority of the library and be able to play them at higher resolution as well, the RP4 Pro will be ideal for those who are looking for strictly playing the higher end systems is it offers double the RAM at 8GB and CPU core assignment.
**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 RP3 but some improvements have been implemented with the button layout, the start and select buttons are positioned in a much more ergonomic and accessible location compared to the RP3. The new 3D Hall joysticks have been improved with a more concave design allowing for better grip and control the trigger buttons are also a welcomed improvement, they are less clicky compared to the RP3, the d-pad is also a bit different with a little bit more travel to it. The ABXY buttons are also less clicky compared to the RP3 and they are more silent, overall this design is a welcomed improvement. Additionally, the active cooling system is an excellent added feature for better cooling during prolonged gaming sessions, the induction vent in the back as well as the output vent on the top will allow this unit to run cooler.
**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 11, 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.
The PSP, DC, N64, PS1, PS2, and Gamecube standalone emulators and RetroArch have already been set up for you which will save countless hours of initial setup, we've completed the following:
**Latest OTA update applied
**Installed APK files
**Organizing the library and scanning each individual folder
**Proper formatting and organizing of the SD card
**Fixing interface settings in RA
**Downloading each core for retroarch and updating them
**Setting up artwork download **Controller mapping
