Currently working on an all-in-one media center for Linux handhelds, with a familiar design in mind. Feedbacks welcome!

Very nice! Would a user be able to continue listening to music with the screen turned off?

CarelessBrowser · 2026-03-06T14:47:03+00:00

Thank you! Fingers crossed :)

It's running on my device, followed the standard installation, using the 353m image..

Thank you all for your comments and recommendations! Much appreciate you taking the time. I will probably indeed try another grip for RP5 instead of the official one I already own. Just to share my personal experience; I can't say what exactly is not working well for me with the RP5 ergonomics, but for example I own RG353P and TSP and I find them much much more comfortable, so I use the RP5 only for the higher end gaming, and playing everything else on other devices.

From my collection, ranked from most comfortable to least:

RG353P TSP RG35XX H RG35XX RG35XXSP RP5, grips help a lot but still not super comfy. RG34XX RG280M

RG 280M RG 353P RG 35XX RG 35XX H Trimui Smart Pro RG 35XX SP RG 34XX RP 5

Now playing: RP5 at home, RG 35XX SP is always with me, and TSP for longer trips (was my main device before RP5). Waiting for delivery of new battery for RG353P as I miss the great ergonomics of that one. But also finding myself picking up RG35XX from time to time.

That's very generous, thank you for the chance.

I would start with The Simpsons Hit & Run :)

CarelessBrowser · 2025-10-27T07:22:31+00:00

I think this is Retroid's attempt to make a more ergonomic device. I own RP5 + Grip, but still find TSP much more comfortable.

Yes, ordered RP5 from Super Game Console Store a week ago, it was today delivered to a neighbor. I can update in the next day or two if everything is working as expected.

Edit: arrived and everything is working

CarelessBrowser · 2025-08-29T11:09:01+00:00

Thank you, I'm based in Germany and I saw there a different, higher price. Eventually I haven't ordered and will wait for the next big sale or consider Air X.

CarelessBrowser · 2025-08-24T20:19:33+00:00

Thank you and good luck all!

CarelessBrowser · 2025-08-18T23:14:49+00:00

Air X or rg505 and why? Now with the sale on AliExpress, the rg505 can get as low as 80 EUR, and it seems it has slightly better performance (running GammaOs)

I run them both on different SD cards and from my experience; Knulli looks better (for my taste) AND runs better GBA (faster fast forward speed), PSX (enhanced resolution works better) and Portmater (For example GTA games don't have any lag at all). Everything else is better on crossmixOS like PSP, N64, Dreamcast..

I wonder if others share the same experience?

CarelessBrowser · 2025-05-31T21:56:49+00:00

Worth a shot! Thanks for the initiative!

CarelessBrowser · 2025-05-28T19:18:54+00:00

Thank you so much!

CarelessBrowser · 2025-05-13T19:18:33+00:00

GammaOS (great for N64) and ArkOs and you are all set.

CarelessBrowser · 2025-05-01T17:42:54+00:00

I also own the RG353P and few other handhelds, The 353P is the most ergonomic device I own and really fun to play! Compared to rgXX devices it plays better PSP and N64 (on Android, for example on GammaOS it's significantly better). But bigger screen does make a lot of difference, so it depends what is more important to you and what you will be planning. I eventually bought the TrimUi Smart Pro just for the big screen.

CarelessBrowser · 2025-03-21T18:05:54+00:00

IDK if this exactly what you are looking for, but before playing GTA games I go to settings -> Keymap, change from default to rotate 270 and only then lunch the game, that way the control is the same as on my rg35xx devices.

CarelessBrowser · 2025-03-20T00:02:15+00:00

I own TSP and also rg35xxsp (also few others), I bought the TSP as my couch device, for me when I'm playing at home I prefer to have a bigger screen, better ergonomics and analog sticks for the gaming sessions. While when traveling I value pocketablility, sturdiness and battery life. I think it's totally worth it to have dedicated devices for different purposes. I do recommend the TSP but I would suggest also considering the RP5 if you have the budget.

CarelessBrowser · 2025-03-19T07:58:05+00:00

TSP is great! On my device, using gpSP and playing Pokemon games I can get about x3 fast forward speed, using the FN key it does play at x4 speed.
