All them tiny Handheld who shall not deserve its own Thread


Ok so this means as long as i dont walk in to the Paris Nintendo Store (is there one) sit down somewhere and play some Mario Kart 7 on the Retroid Pocket Flip2 i have hopefully then, i should be safe ..
I did supscripe to the Retroid Newsletter, so hopefully i will get updated when the Release will be on this thing, as its nothing you can get on Dragonbox unfortunally, i have to buy it directly on GoRetroid https://www.goretroid.com/collections/retro-game-system but this should not be a big issue, i got in the past lots of time stuff from China, some of this stuff also Electronic like the Mac Mini Dock, and Retroid is a bit more Proffessionell than an Amazon.de Market Place Seller ..

Also Retroid dosnt sell this stuff whit Roms on it, so no big issues whit customs expect Import VAT stuff .. but i know this allready from the Analoque Pocket
 
I still won't buy it because I don't need it and I'm too lazy to deal with customs, and other reasons, but I was quite puzzled today to see that the vendor is selling from China an Anbernic RG552 with a 64 GB card for 111.39 USD and for 126.99 USD without any card at all.

I've read that they usually ship with bad SD cards, but how can it be so bad that it's worth -15,60 USD ??? Shouldn't be tthe option with a card a little more expensive than without ?

I'll never understand marketing...
 
In other news i did not catch the right time this night to Preeorder Just in Time (3:30) but i was after i got some issues whit the Color Chose in the Shop where it did not let me Order Blue but after i did chose the allready blue Device from the Bundle and removed the Bundled Retroid Classic from this Order im now in for an Ice Blue Retroid Pocket Flip2 whit the Snapdragon 865 , the Lanyard Set and an Carry Case (allthough i want to Pocketcarry this thing, for 10 $ its not an Lost if i whould take it somewhere i cant Pocketcarry it ..)

Now its lets wait till Mid April to let its ship ^^
 
My Ice Blue Flip2 whit the SD865 was shipped today (or at least its now waiting to pickup), i did Preeorder in Beijing Time 12:45, and i think at 13:48 today i got the Mail , its located in East China so at this part of the Deliefery Process i think i can use this Timeszone ..
When its arrives Europe maybe next week i will use my own Berlin Time ..

My Plan is to Post some Size Compare Pictures whit my Stuff, Pyra, Pandora, New2DSXL, GBA SP, Anbernic SP, Swiss Army Knife, DSLite ..
And some Videos ..
 
Will add an much bigger post whit a real Rewiew, but for now just a short:
The Device is now in my EDC, got it yesterday evening out of my Packstation and had a bit time to setup a first few Systems in Retroid Launcher ..
The Handheld is much smaller than i though, about the Size of the Pyra but a bit more flat, its holds quite nice in Hand, i can reach any button whitouth any issue and the OLED Screen looks allready nice .. , setting up the Retroid Launcher was not that difficult, you just have to set your Rom Folders manually which will take a bit more time i had yesterday .. , some need an Bios you can add in the Emulator Menue later, just like on any other Android System ..

I got allready Gamecube, the Gameboy Line, and PSP to work, NeoGeo seems to link to not the right Core in Retroarch.. , Serious Sam the Next Encounter from the Gamecube runs whit 60 fps whitouth changing anything in Dolphin, i only had to set the Buttons for this Emulator ..

Thanks to Android its an quite nice EDC Handheld: Just close the Lid and its will put to Standbye ..

This Afternoon i will setup the rest Emulators to an Working State, and test play a lot more ..
 
I made a few pictures yesterday

There will be an Rocknix Image for it, i will try it, but not in the next few days as its a bit more work to do .. , also this Micro SD Card Slot is a bit fiddly to open ..

So a few Pictures:
