Retroid Pocket 2+ - any tips?

[RinseWashRepeat]

Hi guys,

I'm days away from buying myself a Retroid Pocket 2+. Just waiting for payday!

Anyone on the forums got one (or a similar Android device)? Just wondering if you've got any tips or apps that you'd recommend.

So far, I'm basically planning on following Retro Game Crops' guide. (here - https://retrogamecorps.com/2022/01/16/r ... ter-guide/)

So - anyone got tips or thoughts on the device?

I haven't, but let us know how you get on - I've had my eye on one for ages.

I have a 3+, it's pretty nice but can be a bit fiddly to set up. Would be worth looking at some guides on YouTube to get the best out of the system.

Well - I've ordered it now. So will keep you posted as to how well it goes!

I got my Retroid Pocket 2+ a couple of weeks ago, and it’s been awesome.tunnel rush One thing I’d recommend is getting a good file manager app like Solid Explorer. It makes managing your ROMs and other files a breeze.

Thanks for the tip - deffo found it a bit fiddly and basically resorted to chucking everything onto a memory card and managing from my PC.

It's been great though! I'm only playing games up to the PS1 and so far everything's worked perfectly. I couldn't imagine playing anything beyond the PS1 on the screen as it is. Far too small.

But for the price of the thing - it's been great. Currently playing Dino Crisis upscaled and it's just a dream.

If you can put up with the faff of the setup - I highly recommend!

What I remember most about the Retroid Pocket 2+ is the nearly three-month wait for it. I ordered on January 7th and didn't get it until March 28th.

I also recall that the 2+ was not originally intended to exist. The 3 were sitting in warehouses waiting for fixes to their problems, so they wanted to get something out quickly. This, of course, had the side effect of the 3 being released not long before the 3+ hit shelves.

Dang. That's quite the wait! I think mine turned up within about 3 weeks?
