Post your device(s). Then ask & answer questions based on your and others’ devices.

I don’t know how many people in this sub/magazine/community would consider themselves experts in the realm of retro handhelds, but I suspect the average knowledge here is a bit higher than “the old place”. But, as more and more users migrate (fingers crossed!), I thought it might be a good idea to have a space where users can post what device(s) they have. Other users can ask their opinions on their devices or other more technical questions.

Sure, there is a lot of information already out there, but there is frequently more to a handheld than just the specs. Comfort is a big issue, support is another, and these and other issues may be hard to quantify just off of a few popular YouTubers reviews.

I’m hopeful this, or some other post like this, could become a safe haven to just ask questions directly to people that own and have used their device for a good period of time.

First, I’d like to offer some great info that I refer to quite frequently!

Secondly (and finally), my devices are: RG280v, RG351v, Retroid Pocket 2+, Retroid Flip, PlayDate, Miyoo Mini Plus, Logitech G Cloud, AYN Odin Base, and Steam Deck.

  • I have RG280V. And I use PinePhone Pro that runs GNU/Linux with telescopic controller to play some heavy games.

    Waiting for a small ARM handheld with GNU/Linux that can handle PS2.

    • I love my little 280v. Do you find it as indestructible as I do? I’ve never seen a PinePhone in the wild! How does it compare to the other common OS? (iOS / Android)

      I’m mostly convinced we might see a small-ish ARM handheld with full PS2 and GC compatibility with minimal or zero tweaks needed per game within the next year or two. What do you think?
