Current Events > Upgrading from Anbernic 351P to Retroid Pocket 2 + (Emulation Handheld Machine)

(+) Yeah! (+)

DO NOT TALK ABOUT WHERE TO GET ROMS. THIS MACHINE IS INTENDED TO PLAY BACKUP COPIES OF GAMES YOU OWN ONLY.

A few months ago I found the world of emulation handhelds. I made a topic about a Gameboy SP looking machine that played up to Sega Genesis (SNES had issues.) This was the PowKiddy V90.

Then I found a new one that promised some Dreamcast and PS1. This was the Anbernic 351P. I love this thing.

When I was looking at upgrading from the PowKiddy (before I found the Anbernic) there was a lot of talk about a Retroid Pocket machine that had come out and sucked ass. There were talks about a new version coming out soon but this wasn't available at the time of my looking. It has since come out.

The Retroid Pocket 2 + is the same price as my 351P and plays way more. PS1 and Dreamcast for the most part are no problem. You can even play some of them in 1080P. With some work you can get a couple Gamecube/PS2 games to work. Here's the kicker though, the Retroid Pocket 2 Plus has an HDMI out slot. Meaning you can plug it into your TV. Get a couple bluetooth controllers and you have a new console plugged in to your TV for playing your retro games. There's mentions that it can even stream Xbox Game Pass and Steam Link somewhat decently.

The RP2+ will take a good bit more setup though since it's Android based. I'll know more when it arrives in 2 weeks.

Any questions about these? Not sure where to start? Feel free to ask and I'll do what I can to answer. These things are great and I feel like people who post on GameFAQs would appreciate it.
