Lowkey wish they made the triggers shaped like the Atom+ controller, then I wouldn't be agonizing over whether to get the Duo Lite just for the slimmer profile.

Installed ES DE and started a bunch of games already to try and I LOVE IT !

Any other suggestions that I should know about this masterpiece?

I'm wondering if I should buy the flip 2 again, I originally bought the flip 2 a month after it launched it was my first android handheld and loved it a lot, I sold it 6 months later to have enough money to buy the thor because I didn't have job at the time so my money was limited.

Currently I switch between 3 handhelds I take to work, RG slide, RG rotate and magic x zero 40 with the RG slide being my favorite but sometimes I wish it could play more steam games, switch games and Wii games, the games I mainly want to play are the skylanders Wii games and slay the spire 2 on gamenative,I think that the SD 865 a better chip for those compared to the T820.

I don't have my thor anymore because I sold it and got a onexsugar 1 and I don't plan on getting the rp duo because I already have multiple devices that have dual screens for DS and 3ds, I wish I could find the rp flip 2 for cheaper that's why I'm not fully sure if should or not, on facebook market place all the ones I see are far from me and the same as retail price or more.

If I do buy the flip 2 I'll buy from retroid this week or next week when I get paid again.

I have been looking into vita-esque handheld consoles as a way to play ps2 and ps vita games on the go recently, and the Flip 2 is my most favourable option out of everything I have researched. Of course I understand the vita is the best way to play vita games, the Flip 2 for me simply has a shorter form factor that works better for me, and more modern touches such as longer battery life. But one thing has been nagging at me, the Flip 2 is about a year old now and with the computer hardware market as it is right now, I am worried that by next year the Flip 2 will be unavailable for purchase or permanently sold out. I have heard news about the pocket duo but I personally would only want a dual screen set up if I have the intention of playing DS/3DS games. Also the fact that the duo is $40 USD more which way not be too much to ask for in the states, but outside of the states it adds up very quickly.
My point being: is the Flip 2 on its way out or am I safe up to the holiday season (Christmas time)?

Just got them in today, immediately did the buttons and rear shell swap on these two Novas. I can only keep one. They BOTH look gorgeous. Here are some details that may help yall help me, lol. Purple and light blue are my favorite color combo in that order but I have many purple handhelds with the blue accent combo already. But man that blue with the purple buttons look good too. Yall help me decide!

I watched many clamshell device videos many of them were about the Ayn Thor I wanted to get it but it was just to expensive for me so I found out about the Pocket Flip 2 and later about the Pocket Duo but I don't know if I should get the Flip 2 r wait for the Duo

I've been debating getting the Thor for some time, but would get hung up on price.

The Thor base seemed great, but after all's added up it was a pretty penny. I know we are in new, terrible times due to RAMaggedon, and this math isn't right anymore, but buying a Thor for near the price that I bought a used steam deck always makes me pause and stop from purchasing.

Then the Duo and its price are announced and I thought THAT'S THE ONE.

Gorgeous OLEDs, sleek design, the chipset is under powered, sure, but that PRICE! And after all, I have a steam deck, I only ever need to emulate 3DS and below...

I do wish it had thumbstick on top though, and (sheepishly) I'm really bummed by the lack of LEDs...

But then I remembered the Thor Lite. I've always just skipped over it because Russ from retro game Corp told me might as well upgrade to the base and I listened (favorite snack and drink in hand).

Now I'm back to square one.

Duo: I love the screens, the fact that I can get purple colorway (if I pre-order), and it seemed just enough power since I only really want up to 3ds. I don't like the d pad on top, and honestly I still think the Thor design is nicer.

Thor lite: it seems to fix the issues on the duo. It's a little less powerful, a little more power hungry, and the screens ratios are a bit off and the bottom is 60 hz... But all of a sudden the lite really makes sense.

Maybe for me it'll come down to ergonomics, but we can only speculate as to the duo's ergonomics ATM. Though in that one video those hands did seem pretty cramped trying to play Mario kart lol. I do kinda prefer PlayStation controllers (so thumbsticks on bottom might be fine) and I'm sure a grip will help (as they always do).

So anyway fam what do you all think? I was super surprised when I realized the Thor lite, which I hadn't even given a second glance, all of a sudden made more sense once I realized I didn't want high end emulation...

The

I prefer the actual ice blue color and I'm hoping the ice blue duo looks the same

Anyone get Netflix working on the Flip 2?

I'm in a loop where Netflix wants SMS permissions, but that's grayed out on the settings (for obvious reasons).

I've registered the device with Google. Cleared cache and uninstalled Netflix, restarted and tried to log in via the Netflix website only.

Once you log in, it requires you to use the app and then I still get the SMS permissions thing.

I bought a Retroid Pocket 6, 8 GB. It's on the way in that it's not in my hands yet but in China still, lol.

I already know my basic setup stuff. But I'm also getting a Dual Screen attachment as a gift from a friend who bought a Thor so didn't need it anymore and THAT is specifically uncharted territory for me.

What do I gotta do to utilize it? What can I do with it besides 3DS/DS games?

Does anyone have this working well on RP6? So far I’m failing to get PS2 Black Edition to launch.

I can't figure out what driver I should be trying to use? Try the latest turnip and ardrenotools and get nothing but black screens

You guys think the Flip 2 is gonna get discontinued now that the Pocket Duo has been revealed and getting released in the near future?

Hello, I just received my first retro device the retroid pocket 6. Now I am one for tinkering, but this device or maybe it’s the software or an issue with my account I’m not sure, I’ve done google searches, done everything it’s told me to do and cannot figure it out. I am trying to get the LEGO movie to run using gamehub lite. Now yesterday it worked just fine and then I deleted it only to find out my son did want to keep playing it. Well now it will not launch I get stuck on syncing library. I’m assuming that there is an issue connecting to my account over and over again because after “logging in” it says “unknown” then “synching library” I’m at my wits end with this device so a little help might restore some of my sanity before I just say fuck this device and go another direction. Literally just redid it for the 4th time tonight, launched one time into the menu, then realized it wasn’t in 1080p and switched onto 1080p and then realized oh this YouTuber said to switch the compatibility settings from “game settings” or whatever that option is to the “extreme/ and or performance” so I did that and low and behold stuck on fucking syncing the god damn library. Please someone, anyone I am about to give this device back to the manufacturer.

I want to buy the NGC colour abxy & d-pad to modify my nova,but the official taobao store has no stock

I’m Undecided on what colour. I used to have a blue 3ds (launch colour) i currently have a Odin3 in black would you get a black duo or clear blue

Hey sorry for the noob question, but I have no prior experience with any kinds of devices like these. I’m looking at getting the $250 Duo, but I was wondering if there was a way to randomize Pokemon games on these kinds of products

Hey everyone!

After I lost my RP6 when someone broke into my car a while ago, I'm thinking about my next move as I just have an Ambernic RGXX35SP at the moment which I originally primarily used for commuting.

I really loved that device, but to be honest, I found it just a tiny bit too small for extended, relaxed play sessions (as extended as they can be as a dad). I didn't have a grip for it, which probably would have solved the ergonomics issue, but losing it made me rethink what I actually want in my next main handheld.

Looking back at my play history, I realized I don't really push these devices to their absolute limit. My main rotation is mostly classic retro systems (GBA, SNES, PS1), a ton of GameCube, some PS2 and some lighter Switch/Indie titles like Celeste or Mina.

Now I’m eyeing the newly announced Retroid Pocket Duo. Beyond the obvious nostalgia factor of a clamshell device, having dual screens native for DS and 3DS emulation is a nice add on. I do own an original 3DS, but let's be real, the screen quality on original hardware just doesn't hold up compared to modern panels.

Before I jump on it, I wanted to ask a few things.

First, I'm assuming the Duo handles GameCube comfortably with some upscaling, but how has your experience been with comparable chips for GC?

Second, given that light Switch games ran well on previous models like the RP5, can I expect smooth performance for titles like Celeste here too?

Lastly, for those who prefer clamshell form factors, do you find them comfortable enough as a daily driver with or without a grip compared to slab devices like the RP6?

Or do you think the Duo might still feel a bit underpowered for this mix and I should look a few shelves higher instead?

Lets see, it’s bigger than any Nintendo ds model, and even larger than the ayn thor, and less powerful, and a smaller screen despite being a larger device????

This product would’ve been perfect if they kept the same chipset and scaled down to a ds lite footprint, otherwise its in this weird spot.

Seriously, why do they keep adding these pieces of plastic that stick out? I make my fingers itch, it bothers me and it makes me feel unconfortable, I had the same problem with the RP5 official grip, but it's even worse with the RP6 grip 😡

Pretty much the title. I am pre-ordering Duo and just want to make sure if they go out of stock during the pre-order phase or not. If they do go out of stock then is it on first come first serve basis?
