RETROID Pocket 2

I'm really pleased with my Retroid Pocket 2. I especially love the dual boot system, so you can boot into the Retroid OS and just start playing with the ample number of games provided. Then, if you're feeling a bit more adventurous, you can boot into Android and start tinkering with the Retroarch config. As an "older" retro gamer, I wanted to play some of the older 8-bit games on emulators for the ZX Spectrum and Commodore 64. With some time spent in the Retroarch settings, these can be configured quite easily. There's plenty of blogs and videos out there to help you.

I like that this device will appeal to both users who want to install extra emulators and those who don't want to be bogged down in any technical stuff.

Plus I can't fault the build quality either. It's very very good.

Awesome low budget retro console, top tier customer service (fast shipping, great communication and even a refund for an included device).

Nice job Droix!

pros:
- top price to performance
- easy to use
- great community support
cons:
- cheap plastic
- right joy stick sucks
- low quality speakers

It's good but I already reviewed this.

Really fast shipping

Only had it for a few weeks. It is doing what I want it to do.

If you don't like setting up systems and down loading games first don't buy it. If you do it great

Simple excellent !!

Bought this on a whim. I love SNES and Megadrive classic RPGs, and have played them on Retropie & PC in the past. I also had high hopes for the PS1 / N64 emulation and was not disappointed

The only issue I have is with the Retroid app supplied with it. The app works fine for most emulators, but won't map a PS1 memory card, and has issues picking up the PS1 game title/name.

Overall this is NOT an issue. You don't have to use or install the Retroid app. Out of the box you just get an android OS, which already has Retroarch installed. Retroarch plays everything fine. It is however a shame as the Retroid app is a nice interface & takes up the majority of the memory card with pre installed games

A word of warning. For those who have not downloaded a Rom in a while. Loads of the old Romsites out there are now just scam / virus sites. Do a quick Google before you start hitting that download button

Love the device. Having something pick up and play is far more accessible than the fuss of playing titles through a TV or monitor. The quality overall is decent 8/10 Chinese device and there is plenty of support online for set up.

Note this device isn't plug and play. There is a small learning curve to get something like a specific game working. However the Retroid app comes with a load of pre-installed games so that part is practically plug & play

Such a great product from any perspective.
Droix service is exceptional as always, and the product itself is 100% spot on from what you have already seen in so many youtube videos and reviews.
Highly recommended for retro enthusiasts, but be prepared to dig into customization A LOT. But hey, you already know that don't you? :)
