Yeah the presence of a green shell made me way more interested in this lol
No joke probably raises the amount I’m willing to pay by $10 for having green and indigo

it does look cute and make me want an RP2 again
though if my RP2 and vita didn't die, i wouldn't have moved up to my current stuff

Hopefully they announce price soon, I don’t think I can justify this and a max 3 so unless I make a decision on this I’m gonna order that max 3 soon I think

Are they gonna do the same here?

plush heart
chances are there will be a huge overlap between what this and the max3 can do
Exactly. Max 3 has a better screen (especially for gba, psp, and ports) but no wifi or touchscreen
potent eagle
kind of like there's huge overlap between the win600 and XP Plus for emulation, especially if you dive down the exagear rabbit hole
plush heart
But will run the same stuff
If they go like really cheap on this with a t310 I might buy one for my brother though
Like rk2023 wifi cheap
Since he is very much an android guy

Max 3 is probably the better choice.

The touchscreen is the one killer feature on this though
For DS
And the green shell

wait, does RP2S got touch screen? I don't got a RP2+ , is there touch screen there?

we need the bite test. like have a dog or a teething toddler bite down and shake the unit around to show if it can handle -real life-
potent eagle
the Tangula T700, T610, 612, and 616 are all 1.8ghz processors
rancid pecan
Yup, but only the T610 has Geekbench entries with a ums512_1h10 motherboard. I'm not aware if that's compatible with the other chips
potent eagle
welp, nothing new here. same family. same 1mb L3 performance as the t618.
rancid pecan
Slightly cheaper to buy maybe
lime fox
What is NM on the T610?
potent eagle
if they stepped up to the next unisoc family, even the cheapest chip (the t750), you'd get a 3mb L3 bandwidth and unlock all of gc and wii. not ps2 entirely, but eh.
lime fox
The T310 and T618 were 12 nm why the upgrade was so easy for retroid.
tired ravine
This was posted in Taki's server
from what? geek benchmark?
where did that information come from?
rancid pecan
from what? geek benchmark?
It is a Geekbench page. No idea where the person got it from
potent eagle
taki probably is sitting on a prototype. he gets these units sometimes a year in advance
cursive ember
I just want to say that the design of this handheld is really good if I was in the market for this size I would buy one. Unfortunately I consider the screen too small and don't want anything smaller than 5 in
rancid pecan
Taki didn't post it though , someone else did
lime fox
Oh it is a 12nm size also. Might be a t610
tired ravine
It is a Geekbench page. No idea where the person got it from
thought so. sometimes it is a database error on the benchmark website itself. could be right or maybe it is something else.
rancid pecan
What is NM on the T610?
The T610 is just a T618 with lower clock speeds and a slightly older instructions set I believe
Nearly the same chip
tired ravine
same thing happens with cpu id, new versions gets updated with it's static database of cpu chips.
potent eagle
same family, but nerfed to be put in a lower budget phone/tablet
rose nimbus
slight downgrade in chip, if it comes with a cheaper price tag might be good for this device.
Dpad up top enjoyers prob want to play older, less demanding systems.
If you want to play more demanding systems, they typically would prefer joystick uptop no?
tired ravine
Looks like T618 graphics is much better
lime fox
The T610 is just a T618 with lower clock speeds and a slightly older instruction...
I more asking about the socket size. When it is the same, they will have to do little to the existing PCBs keeping cost down. Hopefully being passed to the end user.
rancid pecan
They seem to be the same, so just a drop in. Hoping this keeps it around $100
potent eagle
let's look at the gflops

identical scores, but other benches are slightly different

I'd say $130
potent eagle
nerfed by lower clockspeed. oof
tired ravine
nerfed by lower clockspeed. oof
mostly by this. lower igpu. cpu processor is very close
frosty needle
Hey T610 means possible $130 pricetag for decent performance
potent eagle
6-22% slower on depending on the test. I guess its not -that- far behind.
tired ravine
This was interesting. T618 has better power management?
potent eagle
The good thing is you can run ppsspp in arbitrary aspect ratios now.
0.83 looks best on 640x480.
plush heart
$120 would be a good price for this if it's a t618, if it's downgraded I'd expect even cheaper
it needs to be discounted from the RP3+ for having a cheap screen then again for having a cheap SoC imo
steel flare
Honestly I’d just look for even better n64, but being a gimped t618 will hurt those who were looking for gc/ps2 at 4:3. At least the 405m exists
But I would expect a cheaper price now if this is the case
tired ravine

agree
plush heart
if this is under $100 I might get it just as a dedicated n64 machine in transparent green
steel flare
With its layout, I’ve actually been wanting n64 and below with dpad up top. I’d pay 120 or so tbh
potent eagle
nope, only a way to adjust the camera while stretching the ui. it's a neat feature. makes devices like the rgb20s and rg351v good for psp
in the case of hard games like Phantasy Star Portable 1 & 2, rendering less on the horizontal edges gives you enough fps to avoid audio stutter and enjoy games that once were unplayable
in arkos its not in the graphics menu, but the outer game menu when you hit pause in the emulator
the newest android ppsspp has it too
hmmm... lemme open up my s20
on the xp plus, i got it to 20x9 without any distortion
what device are you using? rg405?

we're talking about if the rp2s will be good for custom aspect ratio psp
i don't think full 4:3 will look right, because there's -some- squishing/stretching, but you can get it somewhere between 3:2 and 4:3, with minimalized black bars. should be fine for the screen. works fine on the rgb20s
hrm. weird
might be working against your full screen resolution then
when you're on 640x480, it has a sort of zooming effect
psp2 for instance with no distortion
acoustic coral
Idk if this is reliable, there is no source quoted
rancid pecan
100% not reliable, but it's an image floating around
potent eagle
basically, it's like trying to emulate on 2nd gen intel
clever dirge
At least it's a jump from the t310 in the rp2+
potent eagle
i hear you like no change in single core gaming.
clever dirge
So here's a theory on their "everything old is new"
Rp2s is a t610
Rp2s plus could be a d900
potent eagle
it's going to be slightly better in gamecube, twice as great in ps2
clever dirge
Ps2 playability?!
potent eagle
but not as great as the t618, which still wasn't that great.
neon cedar
either way this goes, this is hype as hell
clever dirge
It's a 6nm chip Ina 12nm space
potent eagle
d800 would be better, tbh. same chip family so probably the same prices
neon cedar
max speed N64 with PEFECT ACCURACY
clever dirge
But for a d800 soc you need a good screen ratio
Rp2s is what? A 3:2? 4:3?
2s+ better have a 5.5
neon cedar
the companies are stuck on 4:3 and 16:9
clever dirge
A 16:9 would be ideal
potent eagle
nah. people wanted pocketable gamecube and ps2 with the 2+ and got it, sort of.
you can't go from that to "lol look it's switch sized" without pissing off that crowd
neon cedar
I love the RP3/+ screen size
potent eagle
just remember. we're a tiny subset of gamers
clever dirge
So can it run pokemon Gale of darkness then?
neon cedar
potentially
potent eagle
ogu can, so why not. it's about 15-20% weaker than the rp2s

Naruto clash of ninjas 2?

I did the math on this on paper. You’re looking at 2.3x3.45 on the rp3/+ and 1.9x2.8 on the rp2s.

I have a 3.5" 35XX and an RP3+, and it's a fairly big difference. The 3+ is probably the best thing to play GBA on right now. The X55 is bigger but probably doesn't have the horsepower to run LCD filters if that's your thing.

it's a psych thing. people more readily move on empathy content than empirical content, and when a review is filled with "feature X makes me happy. feature Y makes me unhappy," it feeds into the general insecurity of the massmind to make a decision on a utilitarian level. sometimes he makes people overlook really bad imperfections or good qualities in a device as a result.
It's a farcry from the neutral grey content of Tech Dweeb or ETA PRIME who treat every device they review more or less the same. (EMULATION BEAST!) They force the reviewer to go over the data and figure out if they like a device, more or less rather than pulling viewers long by the empathy carrot on a stick.

Taki's RP2 video was the first thing I ever saw in the emulation handheld space, so the device has a special place of nostalgia for me

rgb10max3 has ingenuity behind it sure. everything in jelos is tailormade and custom compiled for the soc, so it does some amazing stuff, but this is tiny and does the same thing

Now how am I supposed to go to sleep after hearing this news

i dunno. load up the retrobong or something

hall trigger if I read that speclist correctly
plush heart
This being a t610 I didn’t think it would do gc well though
I’d love to be wrong on that
neon cedar
it'll be dodgy here and there but ultimately it should be able to handle a lot just fine
plush heart
But if it can run 60fps sunshine that’s a big bonus
Otherwise I’d rather just play sunshine on my deck
neon cedar
fair
tardy horizon
It'll do less GC than the RP3+ BUT more than the RP2+ for sure
neon cedar
hey I played Tak on the Rp2+ and it was a tolerable experience IMO
at 80% resolution scale but still
midnight dawn
ok for the price this is quite nice

I need to ask
Does the RP2s name make sense?

it's the most boneheaded decision of the whole design

frosty needle
Well knowing you you’ll buy both
neon cedar
like Start you can reach over the R1 button but Select you have to stretch far too much
midnight dawn
405p with more color options would be really nice right now
frosty needle
Along with the RP Flip
plush heart
I'm going to buy this and three weeks later anbernic will release a 405p
405p would probably be 50% more money, no hall sticks, and shaped like a neogeo pocket though

AYOOOO LETS GOO BRO

I would not even put psp games on this tbh, but for n64 and DC it should be perfect

yeah I'm trying to determine whether I would feel guilty for buying one of these knowing I would probably only use it for n64
potent eagle
psp would be fine with custom aspect ratio set to 0.8
frosty needle
I’ll finally delve into the N64 library on this
potent eagle
would basically be 3:2

N64 will be my use case here as well

So this is probably a obviously tech noob question but i have a Retroid Pocket 2+ would this be a good pick up for an upgrade? I primarily use mine for n64 & PSX but I would love to play some PS2 and GC would that be likely with the given specs or do we still not know enough?
plush heart
I wouldn't buy this for GC/PS2
steel flare
Even the 99$ model will be solid if you legit only care about n64 and below

I wouldn't even buy a t618 for GC/PS2 tbh

This would be a good upgrade, but not for PS2 or GC/Wii

the low down with this is the same low down with the rgb10max3/ogu. only play gc/ps2 if you don't mind tinkering
steel flare
So this is probably a obviously tech noob question but i have a Retroid Pocket 2...
Likely wouldn’t be enough of an upgrade if you want the sensible thing to do, but you can likely sell the rp2+ and get this at a discount if you want the yolo answer
frosty needle
Though if you have a good PC you can use Moonlight to stream emus from there
ionic wharf
Banger day for people who love. boxes
frosty needle
For $99 again, it’s worth upgrading
spare hound
Fair enough that’s wasn’t the make it or brake it for me so I might still pick it up I appreciate the response. I much prefer the arrangement of the buttons and the design of the control sticks
frosty needle
Even for the sticks
potent eagle
the ogu is the perfect 16x9 GTA: Vice City game while you poop console for 111usd
frosty needle
And the triggers

hrm, buy this for n64/dc and continue to use the OGU for PSP/GBA or get a max 3 for all four of those systems...

Noticed that they're both sticks this time

Dude rp2+ was one of my favorite styles too, so much character. Perfect day lol

Actually I just realized the RP2 skins on etsy have the stick on top. I forgot the old ones do that

At the same time
It’s priced too well to not be for everyone

reversed/poked it and ended up making it work without the software lol

But will it come in white?

the RP2S? sadly doesnt look like it
i say sadly but i cant stand white devices because they get dirty no matter how well you keep them clean

Did we come to a consensus on which benchmarks were most important for the t610?
lost zinc
That's true, I was jus' really hoping for an rg405m competitor
plush heart
we'll see if the 610 vs 618 even really matters for anything other than a small number of GC/PS2 titles
midnight dawn
and even the 618 doesnt run GC/ps2 all that well, so I think 610 is perfect for this
plush heart
as long as this doesn't cause issues for like dreamcast or something
signal moon
gotcha keep waiting for a pocketable ps2 handheld

win mini is probably the closest to that we're getting for a while lol

im avoiding x86 hahah, dont want those jet engine fans

The battery life keeps me away from pc handhelds lol
signal moon
im willing to pay more tho but, midrange android handhelds dont exist 😩
a rg505/rp3+ size with sd870 would be perfect
hahah

indeed

Good price but I just don't see where this would be someone's go to.
If budget is your concern, the Rgb10max is more ergonomic, cheaper, and more powerful, nearly just as small with a way better screen.
If not then you can just add $30-$50 more and get a much better (in most ways) rp3+
Glad to see them try to keep a low cost option with nice specs, just doesn't seem like the market needs it imo

No wifi on the rgb10max but pretty much yea

I just need an rk3588 handheld tbh

Your opinion on the ergonomics is not one I share. For many this is what the RP2+ should've been from the start.
And it has analog triggers so DC is going to be a joy on this

I'm a little worried with rk3588
yes, a lot of people are quite hype on this chip, but it seems that this chip is less efficient in terms of thermal and power
tawny gate
3588 will be like the 3399. Will probably come with a fan for cooling.
And a bigger size to pack in a big ol battery
digital tide
i dont need it but i will get one just for that juicy transparent green.

Oh I didn’t realize DC had analog triggers
I take back me questioning why this has them (I was not a DC kid)

Wow, I thought it was just a Gamecube, a retro console with analog triggers

Is this better than rg405m? I was only thinking about getting that one the other day.

No.
Unless you really want dpad on top and can get over the smaller screen and slower processor.

costs less and like 10-12% less power
drowsy sphinx
No.
Sorry I meant more powerful? Just want to be able to play PSP and Dreamcast through retroarch so they have achievements.
glass peak
it should run those well
