Should be here in a few days. Anyone ever fucked with one? My loftiest aspiration for it is to be able to play Smash Melee on the go, if I know how to set up Retroarch on my phone will I be ok with the Rp3?

Although you won't be able to run much past PS1.

The RP3+ should be able to handle everything up to Dreamcast and PSP, both with upscaling. It's systems like PS2, GameCube or the 3DS where it starts to seriously chug.

You are right. My RG353VS can run some PSP games and the RP3+ has a better chip I believe. I don't think I tested DC on my 353 though.

I'd love one of these handhelds but can't justify the cost atm, so I'm currently using a cheap controller with my previous phone as a dedicated emulator. Had to enable some video hack to get SNES audio to stop crackling so it's not exactly a powerhouse. Duckstation chugs with 3D PS1 games and N64 is out of the question.

If you lurk on the sbcgaming subreddit, occasionally you can find people selling their used ones. And check in Ali for prices. Amazon usually sells these things at a higher price.

Some of the prices are too high imo but you can get an RG35xx for like $60 I think.
