    Great move by Retroid. The rp2+ was already hard to beat in my opinion as long as you don’t need pocket ability or to play gc/ps2. Fixing the main negative in the controls and maintaining the $100 price point. Hard to find a better recommendation than this for those looking to get into the hobby.

    I just wish they weren’t running android. I find it so clunky compared to something like onion os or emulation station

      Yes I’m always skeptical with the Android choice. I get that they can sell the idea that you can run Android games (but on such a small screen ?) but I’d rather have an OS solely dedicated to retro-emulation. To be fair, the firmwares shipped by these Chinese brands before they went with Android were often quite awful and custom firmware were needed to fix the issues but still…

      Even when I love Onion OS I feel having Android brings a more dynamic setup, you can just slap on a sweet front end and you are pretty much good to go.

      What I have seen is that it seems that some brands are making the Android initial process setting a bit less of a pain in the ass… I custom ROM frequently so I don’t need more of that in my life lol.
