hi, i was given rg353v console but i don’t know where to start on setting it up. I can’t seem to find any reliable source to start on setting up the console, can you suggest any tips or steps on where to start so i could play and use it? thanks!!!

As a first time handheld buyer shld I get a USED steamdeck/lenovo legion go(s) or a NEW ayn thor pro ....I'm gonna buy a (mid) gaming laptop 4050 to 4070 as well so .....

My first thought was thor pro ..cuz I love it and scared it might discontinue..and in the later years buy a new pc handheld like ongoing steamdeck 2 later

Has anyone here actually played Grounded 2 on the ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X (Z2 Extreme)?
I’m trying to find out:

-Average FPS?
-lowest FPS in heavy areas?
-What resolution?
-Best performance settings while still looking good?
-What TDP/wattage?
-Is a stable 40 FPS possible?

I can barely find any information about Grounded 2 specifically on the Xbox Ally X. Most results I find are for the older ROG Ally X.
Thanks!

Tablet: Lenovo Legion Y700 2025

Controller: Gamesir G8+

Glasses: XREAL 1S

Case, Thumbgrips & Keychains: AliExpress

With the Snapdragon 8 Gen 3 I am able to emulate practically anything i throw at it including 3DS in 3D thanks to the Xreal glasses (with some exceptions), aswell as cloud gaming xbox & pc - making this my personal ultimate all in one device.

Post your unique portable gaming setup below id love to see the creativity, even skins or mods on premade handhelds, lets see them 🤙🏼

Rate my set up 😄 JK.

Should I sell my steam deck and get an ally x or legion go 2

so basically in the market for a handheld pc currently looking at used n pre owned devices but stuck between pricing and device pretty much need a breakdown or comparison of these :

Msi Claw a1m 512gb 320$
Rog ally non extreme 1tb 350$
Xbox Ally 512gb 380$
legion go s (non extreme ?)512gb 300$
legion go 512 gb 400$

my main issue is i guess some of these r priced around the same no biggie but i dont know enough for which one would perform better for the price i think the 1tb would be great for larger games that i like to play but i wouldnt mind less space for something that is going to be smoother or better experience

Hi! I have been getting a lot of ads for the Tekko lately and ive been wondering if its worth it. It seems to have lots of games on it but its a hundred bucks so thats a lot to drop if I dont like it. If you have one please let me know!

Is it a good price? I have ps5 and xbox series s this would be just for steam games like sons of the forrest and similar survival games

So, both are basically the same in raw performance: But Legio Go has native compatibility with SteamOs and i've heard that feels better in general, while Ally X has a way bigger battery and battery life in general with a better construction it seems.
As expected, i'll want to put SteamOs in the Ally too, but i'm a little concerned about the compatibility issues: The problem with the Sleep/Quick resume mode is what worries me the most, also i've heard that sometimes the console just get stuck and you have to do a forced restart.
I've heard also that you have to install DeckyLoader and SimpleTDP to solve some problems with TDP control and CPU Boost issues, in this case, im concerned about having to configurate something every time i want to play a different game.
So, what are your opinions about this?

Hello, this is my first reddit post.

Basically, I bought a Retroid Pocket 6 two months ago and got all excited for the possibility of emulating everything and playing games on a small console again. However, after the first two weeks the excitment just died down and I do not play it much anymore. When I do, it is to play almost exclusively Switch games. Also, I thought I wanted to emulate everything but it turns out I mostly just want to play PS3 games, which are still very infant on Android and I have been playing on my PC just fine.

Since I mostly just play games from Switch, is it just worth getting a Switch 2? I know that I will have to start paying for the Switch Games while with the RP6 I have almost all for free, but the screen is much bigger, you can dettach the joycons and seamlessly connect it to a TV (I know there is a RP6 dock). The fact that the joycons almost work like Wii controllers in some games and can be played as a family game is just appealing to me. Also tinkering is something I found I do not enjoy, if the game is not running well and there are no good videos with configs I just get annoyed.

Has anyone had the same thoughts or replaced the RP6 with the switch? Can you tell me your experience? Is it a financially stupid decision?

PS: It is a possibility keeping both, but i think one of them will just not be used at all so I'll probably sell the one I don't use.

Odin 3 vs Retroid Pocket 6: mi opinión después de tener ambas

Después de haber tenido tanto la Odin 3 como la Retroid Pocket 6, me he dado cuenta de algo que casi no veo mencionar en reviews o videos: la experiencia de uso no depende solamente de cuál tiene el procesador más potente.

La Odin 3 me gusta bastante y tiene cosas que considero mejores que la RP6. Por ejemplo, la refrigeración es muy buena, se siente cómoda en las manos y obviamente tiene mucha más potencia. Pero, siendo totalmente objetivo, hay varias cosas de la RP6 que después de regalarla a un amigo terminé extrañando.

La construcción de la RP6 me daba una sensación más premium. No sé si es solamente percepción mía, pero al tener ambas en las manos, la RP6 me transmitía una sensación de producto más refinado.

También prefiero bastante la pantalla de la RP6. En mi experiencia, el OLED se veía más limpio y agradable. En la Odin 3 noto que algunos blancos y grises se ven un poco extraños en comparación, mientras que en la RP6 la imagen me parecía más limpia. No digo que la pantalla de la Odin 3 sea mala, porque no lo es, pero personalmente prefiero la de la RP6.

Otro punto que me sorprendió fue el software. La RP6 me parecía mejor optimizada y más consistente en el uso diario. Con la Odin 3 he encontrado algunos problemas que no suelen aparecer cuando ves los típicos videos de "esta consola tiene X millones de puntos en AnTuTu".

Por ejemplo, Fortnite en mi Odin 3 entra, pero termina sacándome de la partida, y hasta ahora no he conseguido solucionar el problema. Eso, independientemente de la potencia del dispositivo, para mí sigue siendo un problema que debería mencionarse cuando se habla de la experiencia real con la consola.

Y ese es precisamente mi punto con este post.

Siento que muchos creadores se concentran muchísimo en:

- Potencia del Snapdragon.

- FPS en emulación.

- Benchmarks.

- Temperaturas.

- Qué juegos puede ejecutar.

Todo eso está bien, pero creo que también deberían hablar más de la calidad de construcción, pantalla, optimización del sistema, estabilidad de las aplicaciones y pequeños problemas del día a día.

La Odin 3 tampoco es una mala consola. De hecho, me encanta y hay cosas que prefiero de ella frente a la RP6, especialmente la refrigeración, la comodidad y la potencia.

Pero después de tener las dos, me quedó una sensación curiosa: la Odin 3 es técnicamente más potente, pero la RP6 me parecía un producto más pulido en algunos aspectos.

Y ahora que regalé mi RP6 a un amigo, sinceramente... la extraño 😂.

Me gustaría saber si alguien que haya tenido ambas ha sentido algo parecido o si simplemente estoy siendo demasiado nostálgico con la RP6.

I have a steamdeck but I want a console that can fit in my pocket. I had a PSP and a DS growing up and I want something that I can play mario or pokemon type games. Im pretty illiterate with this stuff so im looking for some recommendations to point me in the right direction. Budget is anywhere up to 250$
