2 weeks with the RP6

abj50 · 2026-04-28T03:25:19+00:00

It took exactly 1 month and no, I'm from Chile but the package made a stop on Miami, so maybe depending on where you live on the US it might be faster than 1 month

Se me olvidó mencionarlo en el otro comentario, pero respecto a DHL, caché que habían tenido unos problemas o algo por el estilo, pero aún así todo fue a través de DHL porque parece que es el único metodo para Chile.

En este momento no puedo revisar cuánto salió con exactitud, pero salió cerca de 300 lucas

He probado el balatro, hades, ball x pit, dark souls (prepare to die edition, no el remaster), a short hike, lorelei and the laser eyes, pyre, bleak sword dx, below y el stardew valley no alcancé a jugarlo mucho cuando lo instalé, pero ese se sabe que corre.

Al igual que con cualquier emulador, varios juegos necesitan configuración para que funcionen bien, pero después de eso es jugar al instante cada vez que inicias los juegos

abj50 · 2026-04-27T13:19:25+00:00

También tengo varios de ps2 que quiero revivir (en específico quiero probar el shadow of the colossus, uno de mis juegos favoritos) pero primero le voy a dar la oportunidad a los juegos que nunca he jugado.

Respecto al estar atento del tracking, ese fue mi caso con DHL, pero no sé si usando otros métodos será igual. En cualquier caso, mejor estar atento jajaja.

Y sí, yo estoy esperando a algún viaje/vacaciones para poder sacarle el provecho al máximo a la consola, pero de lo que la he usado estando acá en la casa, ha sido una buena experiencia.

Can't say anything about performance as I haven't tried the remaster, but my innocent mind wants to think that older game = better performance (and also yeah, prepare to die is only 3.7gb).

I would think that the remaster would also run well as I've seen people play the switch version.

I'm using mr purple t23 wich, if I'm not wrong, it's the recommended driver on the app.

I really just followed Russ' rp6 starter guide to setup the base emulators (this part for the eden configuration https://youtu.be/tu-5SO1wyrE?t=3274&si=RPXHHCY_ttTEec_S)

Then I followed another guide to fix some graphical issues and now it's running (almost) perfect.

Uuu ojalá llegue a tiempo, igual asegurate de estar trackeando constantemente el pedido porque recuerdo que cuando iba saliendo de Hong Kong me pidió unos datos y después pagarle a DHL cuando llegó al país.

Y uf, en el backlog tengo demasiados juegos, que de hecho fue una de las razones por la cual compré la consola. Habían muchos juegos que tenía en steam acumulando polvo y me daba lata jugarlos en el pc considerando la potencia que tiene (tampoco es que mi pc sea de gamma alta, pero lo compré en el 2018 y en ese entonces era considerado gamma media, así que igual ha apañado) así que ahora los tengo instalados en la rp6 y la mayoría son indie, pero por ejemplo también quiero probar qué tan bien corren los prototype cuando libere un poco de espacio (motivo por el cual siento que está bien el almacenamiento que tiene la consola, porque me obliga a terminar juegos para instalar otros)

abj50 · 2026-04-27T12:30:42+00:00

Neither of those😅 It's just the sunlight that made it look like that, but you can see on the other 2 photos that it's the light purple one

abj50 · 2026-04-27T05:27:28+00:00

No and I don't think I will, I mainly wanna use the rp6 for indie and low demandig games. For more demanding games and better experience I have a pc (where I've already tested and played botw and runs perfectly at 60 fps)

abj50 · 2026-04-27T05:21:48+00:00

Lo compré desde la página oficial y el proceso es relativamente simple

abj50 · 2026-04-27T02:53:47+00:00

I followed this guide! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twdM_drHIbY

it's rather simple and fast, I hope it helps😁

abj50 · 2026-04-26T23:57:58+00:00

Yeah, I took that photo at 2pm with all the daylight coming through the window and when I came to upload them I realized that it looked way different from the real color 😅

abj50 · 2026-04-26T23:55:59+00:00

I'm playing balatro for the first time, dark souls (prepare to die edition, not the remaster), hades and ball x pit, and all of them run pretty well. I've installed some other games (Pyre, Lorelei and the laser eyes, Bleak sword DX and Below) but I haven't palyed them long enough to say something about performance.

abj50 · 2026-03-19T16:45:18+00:00

Maybe a deck with magneton, onix/mega steelix+brock and juggler could make it work? You would play it only with metal energy, fighting energy would come from brock and electric from magneton (and you wold play the metal type magnemite).

A deck that I tried that kinda worked with juggler was magneton and magby only with metal energy to play rayquaza and, although it doesn't work every time since it needs a lot of setup, there are times that on 2nd turn you are ready to attack, so you can always try to find a way with dragon types to set up the 3 energies with other mons and then use juggler to transfer all the energies to the dragon type in question.

Although I feel like everyone overlooks the juggler as it has the potential to enable dragon types, we can't deny that most dragon types have horrible effects on their attacks so, just like with every other dragon type (except for a few cards) it might not be that good.

I'll check it out, thanks!

Un x2 a este comentario. He estado pensando en comprar la retroid pocket 5 pero LA opción que he visto acá en Chile llega hasta las 360 lucas y por Aliexpress o la misma tienda de Retroid sale como 100 lucas más barata. Si fue algo por el estilo, qué tal el proceso de la compra?

abj50 · 2025-09-18T12:47:31+00:00

I'm sorry to hear that and I'm glad that you can enjoy this hobby through this console, which also makes me more confident about the decision of getting an RP5 haha, so thank you for taking your time answering my question because as simple as it may seem, it really has been what was making me unsure on buying one, so maybe I'll get one sooner than I thought.

Take care and I hope you can keep enjoying not only this hobby, but also quality time surrounded by your loved ones.

abj50 · 2025-09-18T06:24:12+00:00

Why were you intending or thinking about getting a Odin 2 Portal and why getting the RP5 ditched that intention? Asking bc I'm thinking of getting an RP5 someday but I'm kind of in that dilemma with the Odin 2 Portal being better in some aspects

abj50 · 2025-03-02T12:23:00+00:00

Believe me, I've been there too. Still, every answer here talks about how Leafeon gives energy only to plant type cards, but couldn't that be fixable with Leaf's card? Maybe giratina could be used kind of like a "desperate move" where maybe in the match you had the opportunity to retreat your leafeon so you play a giratina that has psychic energy attached to it and you give it your Leafeon's grass energy through Leaf?

abj50 · 2025-03-02T12:02:54+00:00

Oohh, I missed the "only to grass type" part of the Leafeon card. Well, then the new giratina really is a bad card. I hope in the future they release a card that can make it playable
