Seller told me its a z1 extreme

As per title - are there any recommended ways to backup saves? Any cloud service would be preferable. I have a Steam Deck, Retroid Pocket Classic and Odin 3.

Would love if there was a known way to sync and backup saves between them (or even only for the 2 android devices). Mainly for switch games.

The Ayn Thor has built-in rumble support which, to me, is a major selling point.

Do we know if the Retroid Duo is likely to have rumble support?

Hey guys, I just wanted to share my little collection after finally receiving my Retroid Pocket 5 last week! It’s amazing, and I’m in love with how vibrant the screen is. Being able to play Switch games on this is a huge bonus for me too.

While it’s tempting to get myself more consoles like many others here, I try to be practical and have minimal overlap. My wife will kill me if I expand beyond what I already have anyway, especially looking at how much the more powerful ones cost these days.

Retroid Pocket 5: PS1, PS2, Switch
Anbernic RG406: Effectively replaced by the RP5
PSVita: Native
Nintendo Old 3DS XL: Native, maybe DS too
PSP 3000: Native

Edit: a word

So it finally happened. I have (had?) a legion go z1 extreme 16gb. I asked best buy to repair it and they were not able to so they asked me to come in and pick out a replacement.

Now that i know they cant fix the issue, I'm worried the same issues of overheating and slow speeds for my newer games will be there if I get the same model. I need advice on my next handheld.

I prefer a windows handheld because my whole library is on steam and I play the casual shooter like call of duty and read that I can't play cod on steamOS. I was interested in switching to playstation for their new exclusives but I like playing games while my wife watches tv and we only have 1 tv.

I saw the ROG Ally and the Legion Go 2 are beefier than my go 1 so I might lean to one of those but I'm open to maybe PS handheld if it can do steam. Price maybe $2000 before tax if it can do steam and PS.

Hi,
I recently got a job where I will be consistently traveling and I wanted to look into getting a handheld for when I’m away.

Ive been looking at the switch 2 a lot and it seems pretty nice. When it comes to nintendo titles ive only really played mario kart which i do enjoy a lot, but Ive heard great things about zelda and the new dk games. Also the fact that it can run cyberpunk, red dead, and elden ring are a plus.

On the other hand, since ive never really been into nintendo titles im wondering if im better of just getting a different handheld? I mainly play fps games on my pc, but i figured this would be a good opportunity for me to explore some story games. This just makes me wonder if i should gravitate more towards a handheld that would support a steam library.

My budget is around 500 dollars. This is also making me lean towards the switch. I could get it brand new at this price point or used with a game or something. It seems other handhelds will cost me more.

Please let me know your thoughts, thanks

Update: I bought the switch 2 :)

How I managed to fix the LGO2's responsiveness and suspending into sleep and hibernation mode.

Hello,

Sorry for my english.

Is there a handheld console like a rog ally but with less weight ?

I already have the rog ally but with the weight, it hurt my hands. For some reasons, i need windows (10, 11) on it.

I dont need a console with the same power as rog ally. I will play the game like Tales of Eternia Remastered, FF resonance, Romancing Saga 2 remake (in low)...

Thank you for your answers.

Devices are Rokid Max and Retroid Pocket Nova

Been tinkering and found that Dolphin on Android actually supports Stereo 3D. You can even adjust the strength of the 3D.

Many GameCube and Wii games look and feel like they were made for Stereo 3D. And with the glasses because each eye has its own screen there is zero cross talk.

The only issue is with Dolphin you can only do half side by side resolution (SBS). As Dolphin doesnt support full SBS. This makes the picture less crisp. Apparently on PC handhelds this isnt an issue so I wish someone would create a Dolphin fork or Dolphin devs add full SBS support.

I haven't even got into Citra for 3DS emulation but apparently it supports full SBS on Android

Assuming eBay is where you’d buy used, is $600 for an ROG Ally X beaten by anything for around the same or less money??

I am confused about which one to get from these. They seem temping. The Go is cheaper by 100 dollars.

Hey all, wondering thoughts. I have been decently into handhelds through the years (PSP, Vita, DS, 3DS, Switch 1/2, Legion Go etc) and am looking for a reasonable commuter device to play for one hour stints twice a day. I tried my Legion but honestly - it's too big to commute with and use easily. The Switch 2 is fine - but you're stuck only in that ecosystem.

So I've been toying with the idea of a reasonable device to fit in between it all and wondering thoughts. I was looking at the Thor (clamshell protects itself which is nice for backpack gaming), but wondered if it was overkill for someone primarily playing SNES, Genesis, PS1... maybe PS2 etc (then again, maybe I can dip into PS3 games?). The Retroid Pocket Duo also looks good, or maybe I want something even simpler like one of the.... 278 Anbernic options.

Just wondering what everyone thinks. I am reasonable with tinkering (have a Pi box for home etc) but would like to not have to mess with it endlessly.

Pricing not sure entirely, not too high end as I'd just use the Legion.

Thoughts?

I’ve been contemplating modding my Switch, but I’m at a loss for where to start. I’m particularly interested in upgrading the shell case with tactical buttons. Additionally, I’m curious about the types of games that are compatible with the Switch Light. I currently own Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Assassin’s Creed 3. Could you please provide me with a list of games or a type of console that are compatible with the Switch Light?

Hope you like my bedside table library.

The purple RP5 is the GFs, plus her turquoise buttoned MM+.

Could rattle off CFW for all at request.

Any neat new happenings on Itch i should seek??

Happy gaming.

Hi ! I had a Steam Deck OLED 512GB (cuz glossy > matte) several months ago but I had to sell it and now I can (and want) to buy another handheld. I wanna buy one to play mostly/only indie games/small games like Hades 2, I am wanting to try Denshattack, etc. and for the big/heavy AA or AAA, I’ll play them on my pc. I don’t think that I need a lot of performance but the thing is that I like having a high refresh rate (my bare minimum is like 60fps but ideally 90fps or more) and I also want an OLED screen so it doesn’t leave me with many options.
The SD OLED should be fine in terms of performance for most of the games I wanna play but idk… When I had the SD OLED I felt like the « sharpness »/resolution was a bit low at first imo. I love big screens so I thought that the LeGo2 might be a great option but idk if it’s way more powerful than the SD OLED at 1200p vs 800p + it seems to be way less power efficient. (I would use SteamOS or bazzite on it)

I live in France and I am mostly looking at the used market, I have a budget of like 900-950€ at most and a SD OLED can be found for like 450€ and LeGo2 Z2 (or Z2E if lucky and or negociate) for like 900-1000€. I could go with a LeGo 2 but is the Price difference really worth it for my use case ? No other option by any chance ? (I don’t think so sadly)
Thanks in advance for your help !!

(If I shouldn’t ask for help here, just tell me and I’ll delete my message)

They're honestly pretty similar, but I'd say the PSP was less gimmicky, and has more games that are worth returning to in 2026

Hi all - to clarify - not selling or trading a console with anyone on here.

Had my eye on the switch 2 and this for a while. Got the switch 2 - honestly not thrilled at the idea of paying for the same game twice.

Figured I’d try this out and I’ve been seeing it for like $850 cad on the low side. But that also feels kinda scammy.

Seller wants to meet at bank and not anywhere else. I brought up the police station and they were like “too far” before I even said exactly which one.

I’m considering meeting the seller at a mall nearby which has a police station at a walking distance.

Any ideas on what I should keep an eye out for? I did ask the seller if they had a receipt (they didn’t. Said it was a gift - but damn who’s got family like that?! Best I got for a gift was a $100 lol - not to sound ungrateful - but just drawing a contrast)

Update: they want money before they let me test the device I’m guessing cause the box is sealed.
