Retroid Pocket 5

[real token]

regret selling it

[torpid lake]

Don't get me wrong the 3DS had great games, they just hated the design of it.

[real token]

only ick to it for me was the tiny knub joystick

[red lantern]

Idk, I always found my 3ds comfortable. Not as much as the DSi XL (my childhood DS), it still felt nice to me

[real token]

loved the slider stick personally tho

[torpid lake]

I guess different regions.

I think it was mostly the sliders and inline triggers, growing up with pc controllers and ps2.

[ancient glacier]

FULL WHITE LETS GO

[real token]

woah

[deep olive]

can we get that new info pinned too

[wary leaf]

📌

[celest briar]

Be careful what you wish for

[wary leaf]

That was reverse psychology though

And it worked out

No need to thank me

[celest briar]

Not for Mini though

[wary leaf]

[thin igloo]

Ah damn.... grips.

Hope they're good. Was not a fan of the grips on the Odin 2

[marble olive]

So Retroid staff have confirmed that they will reveal the full specs next week, including the release date

[glossy stirrup]

Nice

[wary leaf]

It’ll be before November for sure

[crystal orbit]

Yipee

[marble olive]

Why, They are not Ayaneo. September shipping seems feasible

[pine locust]

official singularity

[wary leaf]

October is good enough, let’s not skimp on sufficient time for quality control

[restive minnow]

Damn release date as well they are moving what Dangerous

https://tenor.com/view/dangerous-hours-gif-21849966

4:3 and 16:9

[thin igloo]

This

[wary leaf]

I’m down to wait even a month longer

Ideally have some reviews out before pre order start

Or at the very least before shipping starts

[pine locust]

i dont plan to buy the mini before the end of the year anyway ... so i got time ...but reall curious for the actuall info

[thin igloo]

Got a Odin 2 Mini that I been daily driving so not exactly in a rush.

[wary leaf]

But what about the $4 pre order discount? You’re missing out big time

[thin igloo]

And I'm sure a lot of people have the Rp4

[pine locust]

+shipping will cost way more than that most likey so

[thin igloo]

If they do a $30 discount like Ayn

Or the discount they did for the Odin 2

[pine locust]

i also got Cube on the way so i am fine for few months anyway

[celest briar]

Oh wait, didn't realise this replaces the entire back panel. Thought it was like an external hard shell

[red lantern]

Between my Odin 2 Mini and my DSi im fine for another couple months until the mini comes

[ancient glacier]

mhhhhhm

this gives me hope for the plastic texture 🙏

[wary leaf]

White RP5 + clear white backshell? 🤔

[ancient glacier]

are you mad

white rp5 + blue backshell

with blue RGB

[restive minnow]

Madness

[wary leaf]

I don’t think I can match your freak

[wary leaf]

You’re the mad one

[ancient glacier]

https://tenor.com/view/upgrades-robots-gif-21291099

[foggy solstice]

White is the only one that makes sense for the backplates

Besides maybe gray on black

What are you gonna do, green on purple?

[restive minnow]

What about blue and black

[sage cliff]

Donatello; cowabunga!

[wary leaf]

I guess they thought any backplate would fit with the black and white ones if you match them to the rgb leds

The GameCube one definitely doesn’t work with any of the backplates

[sage cliff]

black and green could work...

[ancient glacier]

black goes hard with colors

[wary leaf]

Do green ring leds and you have a better razer edge

[sage cliff]

hehe

[ancient glacier]

I do want to button swap the indigo with full white buttons

and label it the RP4+ Plus

[restive minnow]

https://tenor.com/view/black-spider-man-green-glow-flash-gif-16036392

[pine locust]

yes

https://tenor.com/view/monster-drink-monster-energy-drink-energy-drink-gif-9759446916220461645

[sage cliff]

anyhow, I have a black odin 2 already, so I don't think I need another black device

I had to customise it a little, though
All black was too uniformed for me

[thin igloo]

Think they can make a magsafe backshell?

That would be cool

[wary leaf]

Nah someone on Etsy has to do that

[thin igloo]

Sadness

I will just CAD it myself I guess

[calm grail]

Still happy with my Odin 2 but the RP5 is tempting

[wary leaf]

You gonna add a Qi2 wireless charging coil as well? 😆

[sage cliff]

I kinda like it too... but the usecase would be the same, I guess?

[calm grail]

But I really don't need another device... Maybe the mister fpga

[calm grail]

Pretty much.... The only real pro I see of the RP5 is OLED and offset controls.... But I'm perfectly happy with the Odin 2 as it is lol

[sage cliff]

altough, I kinda fancy the idea of playing switch games on a smaller 16:9 handheld

[thin igloo]

Not a bad idea

[ancient glacier]

damn just realized the rp5's gc layout is odd

for example, how Russ says to map them (it honestly works really good)

vs how they put it

I'm sure it's gonna be fine but lemme yap

[sterile sentinel]

I map mine like this lol

[silver agate]

full white so pristine

maybe get some custom buttons later for kicks

[silver agate]

people do be loving gross colors yes

[ancient glacier]

I'm hoping the plastic still has some grit

[silver agate]

im thrown by people who want the gamecube colorway but that's just me. 😄

[past drift]

So are they only selling the back shells and no front ones in guessing? Your have to swap the screen and stuff so I could see why.

[silver agate]

i barely played gamecube so it has no sentiment

[silver agate]

yeah the front looks entirely like a glass thing with the screen laminated to it and all that

[past drift]

Hmm

[silver agate]

but i could be wrong, im not an industrial designer

[past drift]

Not sure how good they'd look with those transparent back shells on those solid colors.

[silver agate]

i mean its optional 😄

[past drift]

I know lol

The green and blue though!

I do like my clear rp4p it's nice.

I was a ice blue or whatever guy before.

[umbral flame]

Yeah how russ maps them is exactly how I do, feels way better

[umbral flame]

Ofset controls?

[copper oar]

man that ergo

i need to see it like on an actual thing but im not sure how abt it

[umbral flame]

They are bumps, hard to say if it will be really ergo, especially with stick placement

[calm grail]

Odin 2s is in line that being that the dpad and analog stick for example are literally in line... Offset is like what the RP5 is... Where that dpad is offset to the analog stick

Some people hate the inline and it's a deal breaker to them... Some don't mind... I'm one of the ones that don't mind lol

[umbral flame]

The offset on the rp5 looks non existent. The Mini looks a little offset, here it's basically nothing

[calm grail]

Enough for people to go "at least it's not inline"

[umbral flame]

No way dude

I think we'll have to agree to disagree

[calm grail]

I personally don't care

About inline vs offset

Cause imo it doesn't matter until you actually use it

Cause you can have offset that feels absolutely trash too

[floral flower]

I'm getting more and more curious about this one. It feels like this will be what I wanted the odin 2 mini to be. Just waiting on specs and price now

[umbral flame]

Yeah I'm interested in both offerings, specs and price really matter

[copper oar]

when the mini is sd845 and the 5 is t820 but they got the super drivers to make ps2 2x

[wicked ibex]

Fuck, I don't like any of those colors 😭

[bold frost]

Intersting, because I like all of them. (But Gamecube is deffo my favourite) What color would you like?

[wary leaf]

Yes the colors on the mini were so much better 😍

[sterile sentinel]

I really like the GameCube color

[copper oar]

thats saying something

[bold frost]

White and red was the best on mini but they removed it xD

[wary leaf]

Hmmm

[bold frost]

Over all imo RP5 has much better colors than RP mini, mini is soooo boring

[wary leaf]

I want a 3d view of both

[pine locust]

i need to see the red back

[wary leaf]

Red black should have a red backshell

[bold frost]

Right now maybe Snes and black/red are ok

[pine locust]

exactly thats why i need to see it first

[bold frost]

Oh it could be nice then

[umbral flame]

kill me now

[bold frost]

RP5 gamecube is just perfect though

I wonder why none if the conpanies do red shells

[umbral flame]

Honestly if they both have the same chip 4:3 is going to be tits. But this will have more utility

[bold frost]

I just repaired red japanese psp3k and it looks amazing

[red lantern]

Honestly I feel the opposite. The Mini has more interesting colors to me overall, but the 5 has Gamecube indigo as a major standout while the others are just.... generic white, snes, and black

[bold frost]

Actually you are right both are boring, but RP5 has one amazing color

[copper oar]

sociey if pink rp5

[bold frost]

I think actually, maybe the reason why I thik RPMini is more boring is because its overall look has a potential to be amazingly fun with correct colors

[vestal ermine]

probably getting this device

with indigo and clear back shell

and gonna try to get the black buttons to go with it cuz im definitely not into the fucking gamecube meme

[bold frost]

Just imagine RPMini with GC colors or transparent shells

[red lantern]

Either way, Im definitely getting the mini! Especially if the SoC is the same

[vestal ermine]

if the soc is the same, omg

[red lantern]

Same SOC, different form factors

What im hoping for

[static barn]

That's not happening

[pine locust]

i would say the opposite for me 😄

[unreal brook]

Bro they need gc color for the mini

wtf

They gave us the most ass colors for mini twice in a row and decided to give the most banger colors for the 5

Eventhough gc only plays at native aspect ratio on the mini

[static barn]

Why are people thinking it's going to have the same SOC ?
It makes zero business sense to use the same chip between the 2 devices , price will be too close to each other to make any difference and only differentiating factor would be size and maybe battery life

[analog tapir]

This is me when I put a green back shell on the GameCube model

Video unavailable

[ancient glacier]

part of the hate train and it sucks considering damn thing was like 530 cad total lmao

didn't think it would end up next to unusable for me

gonna be interesting to see how the rp5 fairs up with the offset

also maybe a hot take but joystick to dpad offset is a lot more important than dpad to stick offset

[static barn]

Offset looks more pronounced on the Mini which is one reason I'm leaning more towards that

[analog tapir]

Green and purple green and purple green and purple green and purple

[wary leaf]

https://tenor.com/view/かみ太-gif-10053065094960850647

Better ;))

[unreal brook]

i mean im not saying itll be identical

rp5 def needs more juice for switch

but the mini is probably going to be a gc/ps2 specialist device

[worn forum]

lol

My poor poor wallet

[static barn]

I agree but was more towards a few posters above your post , it'll probably be pretty powerful for a smallish device but virtually zero chance it would use the same SOC as the RP5

[worn forum]

For GameCube they should put the D-pad at bottom for more retro theme lol
