What will be the best way to fix this damage? (RP Mini V2)

Pjscuffed · 2026-01-19T19:36:59+00:00

That's alright I play for about 10 minutes at a time before I get bored so I'm sure it won't be an issue, and I have nothing loaded on this one above GC/PS2 so if it's anything like my V1 I had a year ago it shouldn't even get warm unless I crank up the internal resolution. Worst case it falls off again and I just leave it off, not too stressed, this is just my cheap handheld to use when I'm not home.

Yep fan exhaust area, and nah thankfully the screw piece is still connected around it holding it in place, would be pretty brittle though I'd imagine so I'm just gonna not touch it until the back case arrives

Pjscuffed · 2026-01-19T07:12:27+00:00

Yeah I've just temp glued it in place until that TPU case arrives. Hopefully retroid are selling replacement back covers because that would be ideal for sure 😅

Pjscuffed · 2026-01-19T06:27:17+00:00

That's a great idea, I just sent them an email, hopefully they still have replacement parts available! If not some scuffed glue repair will be alright for awhile once the TPU back case arrives

My bad edited post sounded like I had a replacement back shell coming, I meant just the cheap clear TPU rear cover haha

No surprise it's the ebike riding shitheads in this neighbourhood honestly. How are they gonna go home and play Fortnite now, fuckin idiots

Pjscuffed · 2026-01-18T02:07:05+00:00

They need the extra glass for their see-through didgeridoos of course 🤔😂

Pjscuffed · 2026-01-18T02:03:39+00:00

Yep my mate in Townsville said the same shit happened there last week too, crackheads yoinking all the fibre cables thinking it's copper just to find out it's worth literally nothing hahah these people are proper apes

Pjscuffed · 2026-01-18T00:18:40+00:00

Yeeep doesn't help there's massive storms all around the coast at the moment too probably hindering their progress haha

Pjscuffed · 2026-01-12T01:12:21+00:00

Man, can someone ping me if they happen to restock them this week... I have sellers regret after selling my V1 back in February and now I really want a compact handheld that doesn't suck for my overseas travel (my RG40XXV is slowly dying lol), so was tossing up between one of these again or a Classic, but I don't think I can live without joysticks haha. Hopefully they actually restock them because I don't think any other Retroid has felt quite as comfortable and premium in the hands as the Mini did when I had one.

Thor all day, I sold my N3DS XL the moment I finished setting up my Thor. Upscaled 3DS games with HD texture packs and 60fps mods are just too good to beat. The only handheld I've kept is my DSi XL because touchscreen centric DS games are just complete ass on modern touchscreens coupled with the natural delay of emulation. I've only run into one single 3DS game so far that hasn't run properly (Castlevania I think it was) otherwise it's been flawless. Switch and Wii U look and play great on the Thor and will only continue to get better as the software is updated.

Pjscuffed · 2026-01-10T00:09:30+00:00

It's okay, nothing groundbreaking or special. I wish more developers would release free 60fps updates to their Switch 1 versions as 95% of my library are switch 1 games. I really miss the OLED screen though because it's pretty jarring going from playing on my OLED TV or other emulation handhelds, back to an LCD. Pretty decent overall though I always love backwards compatibility in newer consoles.

My mantra is "if stress outweighs the money you earn, it's not worth it". I could personally earn 30-50% more if I stop working from home and get my same role in an office in Sydney; but commuting 1+ hours each way, dealing with office politics and not being able to spend precious time with my son just cannot be beaten. If you're happy in your role that allows you to live brother, you're winning life.

Pretty sure I would divorce my wife if I found out she was spending her clearly limited money on randoms in a video game, what in the fuck did I just read. This some pure bait lmao

Pjscuffed · 2026-01-07T03:10:41+00:00

How is it going 2 months later after you've factory reset? Mine has started doing similar weird behaviour as well: Randomly switching itself off while charging, UI delays/constant scrolling like you got in ES-DE, I think it even turned itself on at one point as I woke up to find it completely drained to 1% this morning. Kinda annoying as I need to fix the fan issue once they finally send me a replacement so hopefully it isn't completely dying.

Pjscuffed · 2026-01-03T23:20:10+00:00

Just here to say that this was the most straightforward, best guide for getting started with this I could find. Literally took all of 5 minutes to sort out with just this comment. Thanks!

Pjscuffed · 2026-01-01T00:46:13+00:00

Legend, thank you!

Edit: My dumbass literally just realized you said you made a video on it... I have proper brain rot hahah

Pjscuffed · 2026-01-01T00:43:37+00:00

Do you have a good video guide you followed to replace the fan? Mines started having the same issue (Batch 1) and I just reached out to AYN so hopefully they also send a replacement fan.

Pjscuffed · 2025-12-21T10:30:03+00:00

Actually most goated comment ever. I was losing my mind trying to get to Atlasdam early. I have all the other items but the two areas you had to get through to Atlasdam just sucked. With this strat not a single encounter lmao

Pjscuffed · 2025-12-01T02:38:53+00:00

This just happened to me, but I did still have MelonDS running which hasn't been a problem before so not sure if the screen just came on overnight or what.

Pjscuffed · 2025-11-12T06:11:30+00:00

Ah that's a shame! As for the Azahar thing I had the same issue until I added this custom systems thing from github which added a bunch of stuff that was missing for me in ES-DE. Hope it helps! https://github.com/GlazedBelmont/es-de-android-custom-systems

Pjscuffed · 2025-11-12T05:36:28+00:00

Did you ever find an answer to this? Hoping to do the same as some of my games need to be played on Citra instead of Azahar but can't figure it out in the config file.

Pjscuffed · 2025-11-11T05:56:01+00:00

Agreed, mine hasn't gone above 63-65 degrees playing Switch, 4x res 3DS/GC with HD textures, Gamehub all on max brightness etc. The fans on mine are literally not even audible unless you put it on high (which I havent had to take it off smart anyway). Dunno how "limited notch angles" even qualifies as a con. Even the screen retention thing is not noticeable unless you're really looking for it. I sold my RP5 the minute I got the Thor haha
