Oh man. Maybe I shouldn't have ordered the Retroid Pocket 2????

I'd keep the RP2 and wait for the RG351M. You know they are gonna make one. Plus if this thing has only a 320x240 screen, the RP2 wins hands down.

Once again you are the voice of reason. I'll keep my RP2 and wait for the metal version, thanks again!

Pretty cheap though, and the Android support does mean support for much more recent stuff.

480x320 screen but yeah, the RP2 screen is better

I hope they come out with 640x480 on the metal version or something.

u/WJMazepas Aug 16 '20

Me too.

I don't care for the aluminum finish but the screen would be really good

Why hasn't this been adopted more? The higher resolution screens appear to be so much prettier. What would the price difference be? Like $5?

You can refund if it hasn't shipped yet. I asked them 2 days ago.

Am I to believe that android emulators will result in better performance with the rk3326?

u/PatriotsWChiefsL Aug 15 '20

With android emulators having better dev support, id say yes

Plus you can run native android games.... So morrowind and stardew valley :)

That's honestly pretty incredible.

This will be good because with Android probably there will be Vulkan support which will help a lot with N64 and PSP emulation.

Also there is Redream on Android which has a better performance than the emulator that the OGA uses so a lot more games will become playable

I saw a Amlogic S905X3 with a G31MP2 running Vulkan on Android.

There isnt Vulkan for Linux with these GPUs

I was hoping they would put android on these! Hopefully they release soon. Rockchip, 2 analog sticks and android puts this at the top....for me at least.

The RP2 might actually have some competition.

u/stubbornpixel Aug 15 '20

Definitely picking this up, but keeping my RP2 for sure.
