M turned into a huge garbage magnet since he switched to fake Lego.
Nah, I've always been a garbage magnet (I've been a regular at the local thrift stores since I was a kid), but, only recently have my eyes been opened to the utopia that is direct commerce with China. 😂

I ordered one of these last night too. I got the most basic model, for $26.45, but you can spend more for a bigger screen and more memory if you want to. NES, GB, SNES, GBC, GBA, MD and MAME support. Thousands of games already on it. Great and glorious spirit of Mao, please let it arrive intact!

The nice thing about buying five datafrog devices instead of one rg351mp is I can just pull another datafrog out of my pocket after the battery dies or the buttons shatter.

lets bump this garbage thread...

Retroid Pocket 2+ - fuck this thing, takes too much tinkering to make it work

Have had the Gpi2 w/CM4 for awhile now and it's really becoming my go-to for pick up and play. I bounce between this and the Anbernic RG552 lately, but the GPi2 is pretty damn great.

I have personalized shader dmg-3x.glslp on my GPi Case 2, but I don't know how to completely remove the border (dmg-border-square-4x.png) to obtain a larger gaming screen...

EDIT: it's OUT X and OUT Y options :LOL:
I also set this filter up for GB, with a 2 frame run ahead and the lag is still god awful. So anyone wanting to tinker and make their GB shit look like this. Save your time. Skip.

I overpaid and snagged one when the GPi2 released. Hopefully they start trickling back soon

Thought about it for a moment but I'm big against that kind of speculation so I'd rather wait for my normally priced one.

Yeah, in my mind I have the date of September 2022 as the month to expect the CM4 to arrive...

By the way, how does de CM4 handle the Dreamcast emulation?

So far, I've only played Atomiswave - but it handles it really well. I think I'll give DC a go today.

Instead of a Retroid pocket 2 for Dreamcast emulation. What should I get instead?

My homie got an Odin and it came in the other day. He brought it over to show me and it's really slick. I saw it running taxing GameCube and PS2 games with my own eyes. Pretty impressive stuff.

The unit has a really nice like satin-type feel too. It didn't feel like any kind of coating, but felt great. The build quality seems to be off the charts. Unsure if we've talked about this yet, but it can also run windows, which is kinda cool. If it's AMD, it should also be able to run SteamOS, should you care to do that.

Does anybody have one on order? I had one ordered, waited for months, got tired of waiting and canceled it. After seeing my friends though, I decided I wanted one after all. Thus begins the wait again.

Super impressed with the Miyoo Mini V2. Once you install Onion OS on it. Way more premium feeling than I was expecting for $60. I can see myself playing with this a ton.
