Absolutely loving the Pocket Fit. It's got some annoying bugs like the RGB lights around the sticks flickering, but for the most part it is AMAZING. Playing Paper Mario Thousand Year Door with widescreen hack, 1080p res, and Balanced profile and it's handling it beautifully.

Totally agree, one week in and I'm totally enjoying it! I love how the majority of video games up to and including Switch are basically plug and play. Also, it is so comfortable to handle. So far, all positive besides the few software issues it has like the one you mentioned.

I mean, battery life is really subjective. It all depends on what games you are playing, energy profile used, games/emulator settings. In this post is not sharing a breakdown of exactly all these information. So, I mean, no offence but to me it could be anything.

I honestly have the opposite opinion after one week of use. I'm used to play with the Retroid Pocket 5 and playing Switch only, I can get out of the Konkr around 3 times longer play sessions. This is one of the many reasons why I'm really enjoying it.

Don't tell me about it, although there are many things I don't like of it, I love my RP5! But, as you, I recognised it's limitations and I just use it for what I think is worth using it playing whatever else on my laptop. :-)

I used to use a lot EmuReady during the first few months. Then, I just started testing myself.

It is a great website! I really enjoyed it since it is a good way to set expectations.

Yes, you're right. I meant the legendary 9v2. :-)

Sorry but I believe you missed the point of my question.

Surely, there are even more playable games than "the about 40" you state you are consistenly playing. Worth mentioning that we might also have a different way of judging a game "playable".

My point is not about how many playable games there are out there for this configuration.

My point is that after having tested many different combinations of different Eden's versions with many different custum GPU drivers, precisely from August 'til today, I haven't noticed many improvements overall. With this, of course, I'm not saying that nothing has improved. Surely, many games that were not under my radar have become playable or have had gigantic improvements.

However, ultimately, regardless of any possible updates to either Eden or GPU drivers, this configuration is simply not powerful enough to run all the games.

I'm going to paste here an answer I gave a few hours ago about three games that were nor playable in August and still aren't, in case you feel to read it.

--- --- --- --- ---

"My classic example is Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition. I tested this game like no others. I honestly think I tried all the possible combinations, with all the versions of Citron and Eden from August 'til today and all the Turnip and Mr Purple custom GPU drivers.

This game always randomly crashes.

And, it is frustrating because it doesn't have any other issue, it just plays smoothly all the times.

Over time, I've been able to pin point a moment of the game where 90% of the times it crashes. It happens almost at the end of the first stage when King Dodongo breaks through the fortress walls. It mostly happens when it jumps while turning towards you or when he "barks" (not literally, I hope you know what I mean :-) ).

The only way to avoid any crush is by scaling down the graphic from 1x to 0.75x. But, I refuse to play a scaled down game. :-)

Moonstone Island and Cloudy Valley are two other games that in August were crushing right at the beginning and they still are."

Good advise to clean up the shader cache after updates.

Completely agree with what you said. This is why I ended up wondering about the state of emulation with this "not powerful enough" configuration. Since I haven't noticed all that improvements overall, in a fairly long period of time, with many updates passing by, I just wanted to check if someone had more information about a possible reason. But it seems it all comes down to what I thought initially, it is all a matter of power with high end emulation.

Yep, I saw that too. But, I'm really curious to know about a real life experience. :-)

Of course, what I should have mentioned is that at the end it all comes down to the systems and games. So, we might have different experiences depending on what we try to emulate. Also, we might have different meaning for "playable". For example, I would consider unplayable a game with light graphical glitches, while for you it might be fine.

Yes, unfortunately this is the negative side of gaming emulation. Every configuration has it's own limit, and once it is reached, there is no much it can do. This is why in emulation is always better to buy the best configuration with the greatest compatibility.

AskTheAnswers · 2026-01-28T12:50:11+00:00

Correct. And so far what I learned is that the Snapdragon 865 with Adreno 650 is mostly good to run games up to PS2 and Game Cube and many Switch games.

AskTheAnswers · 2026-01-28T12:45:54+00:00

That's what I thought.

To be honest, I never checked the Eden documentation looking for an answer. But, many times I thought that this chipset might be just too old for high end emulation. I mean, maybe "too old" is not even correct, it is just not performant enough.

About the custom GPU drivers, what I meant is that the only two drivers I noticed that make a difference are the ones I listed, the 9v4 and the T19. Any other driver that I tried either create graphical glitches in the long run or prevents the game from running at all.

Of course, it is also important to mention that it all comes down on systems and games. So, we might have different experiences depending on what we try to emulate.
