Since the Retroid Pocket devices take a while to ship, I would recommend that you build your ROM library now, if you haven’t already. You could also use a USB hub to plug in multiple controllers at once, but note that if the controller requires USB power you will likely need to get a powered USB hub like this one. Note that in order to use a USB controller, you will also need an OTG adapter to plug the controller into the device’s USB-C port.

You could use a bluetooth controller like the 8BitDo SN30 Pro, or a wired controller like the Betop BD2E. Speaking of controllers, there are plenty of options out there, but I prefer to use something that’s somewhat retro-friendly. You can use a larger card than these but then you’ll have a card that costs more than the device itself, and are you really going to play more than 512GB of games at once? 128GB cards: A 256GB or 512GB card will allow you to store even more of those larger games. A 128GB card will allow you to load EVERY 8-bit and 16-bit game out there, just all of the arcade games that work, and quite a few PS1, Dreamcast, PSP, GameCube, PS2, and Sega CD games (those systems have the largest file sizes). In general, I would expect to pay $20 for a 128GB card, $30 for a 256GB card, and $60 for a 512GB. The prices fluctuate all the time, so keep an eye out for deals.

In general, I recommend the cards listed below, in order or preference. I recommend using a card from reputable brands like SanDisk or Samsung to use in your device.

However, the Amazon listing is available for Prime shipping and you can also get easy returns in case something goes wrong. However, I would say if you prefer 4:3 aspect ratio screens or want the absolute cheapest model available, then the RP2+ might still be worth considering for you.Ĭurrently the Retroid Pocket 2+ and Retroid Pocket 3 are also available via Amazon, but the price will be quite a bit higher depending on where you live. Between the RP2+ and the RP3, I would recommend the RP3 as it is an improvement over the previous model in just about every way. The 2GB model is currently being sold on AliExpress as well.

This will make the Android interface feel snappier and will also help with running Android games.

The price difference is $10 and well worth it for the 50% increase in RAM. The Retroid Pocket 3 is available in two versions: 2GB or 3GB of RAM. The Retroid Pocket 3+ and Retroid Pocket Flip are the most recent releases, and provide a significant performance improvement over previous models. You can check their delivery dashboard to get a sense of what they are currently shipping, but bear in mind that this dashboard is not always up to date.

I would expect at least two weeks from the time of purchase to delivery, but that fulfillment may be delayed due to high demand. All models are sold directly via Retroid’s website.
