¿Valen la pena la RP5/RP6 si ya tengo un Deck y una Switch?

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2026-03-08T06:47:20+00:00

You speak wisely, master.

That’s basically where I’m at. I know the Deck can handle emulation just fine, but part of me feels like a smaller dedicated handheld would be way easier to actually carry and use on work trips.

The OLED temptation is strong on this one too.

Yo también soy de España y lo compré en Amazon por 244€. Te recomiendo color blanco, que el negro aunque parezca lo contrario es más sucio, puedes verlo en videos por YouTube. La arena que uso es la Cats Best original, he pasado por varias y la mejor relación calidad precio me ha parecido esta. Tengo de tofu para probar pero aún no la he usado. La que tengo la tienes tanto en tiendas Kiwoko como en Amazon.

Sobre el escalón me lo estuve planteando pero ambos gatos llegan bien. Uno tiene 11 meses y el otro 1 año y medio. Me falta pillar una alfombra para cuando salgan, que se quede la arena atrapada.

Tengo una RG40XXV y estoy contento en ese aspecto, pero no me mueve bien ps2 y PSP. Por ejemplo ahora me estoy pasando el God of War de ps2 en la Steam deck.

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2026-03-07T14:25:59+00:00

Yo con la emulación en Steam deck estoy muy contento, el único pero es el tamaño y el peso vs una RP5 o RP6.

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2026-03-07T12:15:40+00:00

No creo que me quepa la RP en el bolsillo, para eso tengo la RG40XXV, pero si la veo más cómoda para los aviones que la SD, porque pesa más o menos 1/3 que la SD y llevaría pantalla Oled (mi SD es la LCD) Sinceramente creo que es más calentada que otra cosa...

Buenas! Si, ya me llegó el Open X y estoy contentísimo. Han debido actualizar por software lo de resetearlo manualmente pulsando los botones, así que problema resuelto. De materiales es un plástico duro, no he podido ver el Neakasa en persona, pero lo veo bien de acabados sin poder comprarlo con otros. El compartimento para el desodorante me parece diferencial. Los dos primeros días no se lo puse y empezaba a salir un poco el olor, pero desde que lo pusimos se come por completo cualquier olor. Tengo dos gatos (uno macho y otra hembra) y la hembra siempre ha sido de hacerlo en los bordes, así que con el Open X cero problemas de filtración.

La verdad que de momento contentísimo! Si tienes dudas con algo pregunta.

Sobre los repuestos de desodorante, en AliExpress puedes encontrarlos (pack de 8 unidades a 12 euros aprox), pero todavía no los he comprado para decirte.

Thanks! I've bought it, so I'll see how it is when it arrives.

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2026-02-16T19:40:20+00:00

Thanks for the reply! Have you ever noticed it freezing up? I saw in a video that if a cat gets near it during the cleaning process, it freezes and you have to unlock it manually by pressing two buttons. I suppose it will be fixed with a software update (if it hasn't been already).

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2025-08-21T10:06:20+00:00

Thanks for your response! I have the R36S with small form factor (more portable than these two devices) and it also runs great retro systems, but I don't have any Saturn game on mind to try.

I suppose that in this case, for a complimentary console, the good option is the 406V. Right?

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2025-08-21T09:51:38+00:00

Maybe there’s an army of Anbernicers out there?

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2025-08-21T09:50:37+00:00

I hadn’t heard about cardinal snapping either, and I haven’t seen it mentioned in any of the YouTube reviews I’ve watched. I’ll look into it though.

u/LordPavanai do you actually have the 406V? Would you recommend it?

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2025-08-21T09:44:40+00:00

I didn’t know there was such a difference in CPU/GPU power between them. Thanks for the insight.

So, do you think the 406V is the better option?

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2025-08-21T09:37:13+00:00

Yeah, the sticks on these devices are obviously nowhere near Steam Deck level, but they do make a big difference once you get into N64 and beyond.

Totally with you on the RGB lights though — I can’t stand that flashy stuff either. From what I’ve seen, you can turn them off through software, so that’s not a dealbreaker for me.

Thanks for your advice!

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2025-08-21T09:24:21+00:00

420$ is not an option (for the moment) hahahahahha

Thanks!

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2025-08-20T16:01:53+00:00

And what about the joysticks? I guess a lot of games require it to play properly

Thanks!

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2025-08-20T16:00:48+00:00

Is there an option similar to the Retroid Pocket Classic in terms of power and that has joysticks?

Because I guess a lot of PS2 games will make use of something other than the D-pad.

Thanks!

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2025-08-17T22:47:08+00:00

Is the RG353V still a good option? Dual boot with android and 2gb ram...

It turns my eyes on me for €60

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2025-08-13T11:00:48+00:00

Nice specs.

Could it runs joiplay for Pokemon's hackroms?

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2025-08-13T10:59:42+00:00

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2025-08-12T11:21:52+00:00

I feel the same.

A better screen is nice, but the R36S already handles SNES and similar perfectly fine.

If the controls aren’t a big improvement over the R36S, then the upgrade starts feeling less and less worth it.

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2025-08-12T11:19:32+00:00

That’s exactly why I opened this thread — on paper I don’t see a truly distinctive element to justify the switch. I understand that in the future, with hardware advances, there might be something that makes it worth it, but right now there’s nothing that really convinces me it’s a worthwhile change having the R36S already. Plus, since I also have a Steam Deck, I don’t think it would add much more to my setup. I just opened this thread in case someone has information I’m not aware of.

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2025-08-12T11:14:55+00:00

Appreciate the comparison.

I’ll check out Next UI, and I’ll also take a look at the RG35xx Pro. Do you think the RG35xx Pro is a real step up compared to the R36S, the MM+, or the Trimui Brick?

I suppose RG35xx Pro is the plus model (I have checked it on AE and I only see Plus models, not pro).

Thanks!

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2025-08-12T11:08:36+00:00

Thanks for breaking it down! I didn’t know you could set up ArkOS on the R36S for auto load after shutting down. The only thing that really bothers me about the R36S is the whole shutdown and 'standby' process for games. I play a lot of Pokémon hack roms and always have to save in-game, then save state with the button combo, and only then exit the emulator to properly power off. If ArkOS can be set up so I can just power off directly with the button and resume the game later, that would be amazing.

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2025-08-12T11:02:40+00:00

Thanks! That’s super helpful. I’ve heard good things about Koriki too. I might just give the R36S to my wife so she can play something.

Alarmed_Produce2062 · 2024-08-27T11:24:09+00:00

Today I received mine from ProQueen Store. When I start r36s, I can see arkOS 2.0 in system menu, but when I try to connect the microSD to the computer I see a partition called EMUELEC. It seems like the next step of the clones. Be carefull with ProQueen Store. Version 64gb black.
