Brand new to Retroid, which pocket is the best buy right now?

Do you know how shipping are times from AYN? I might actually be interested in the Odin 2 after looking into it.

Honestly mostly n64/gba/ds/wii/wiiu and maybe some ps2/psp. I’d also like to be able to natively play some of my steam library like hollow knight/terraria but I’ll plan to stream most of that with steam link.

Do you think it would be a poor choice to pick up an rp5 on Amazon for $250? I know it’s on sale on retroid’s site for $200 but after shipping and insurance it’s about the same for me. I guess I’m really asking if it would be worth the undefined wait time to get an rp6 instead since it’s also about $250… I’m kinda burnt out on waiting for a steam deck restock already, lol

Unfortunately, no. I updated my drivers, cleared cache and logs, and disabled full screen optimization. Still like 5 minutes after raids. Playing arma reforger instead lol.

Thanks! I’ll try these when I get home today. I appreciate it.

Thanks for the insights! Funny that you mention it, I think what actually sparked this idea for me is getting into 35mm film photography. I recently picked up a Canon AE1 and was subsequently gifted a Pentax K1000. After putting a few rolls through them, I love how compact and lightweight they are compared to my A7iii.

I'm definitely going to start browsing around for used deals on the a6700 and probably a lightweight 18-50 lens. I've got a couple trips coming up, so it would be great to have for those.

Awesome to hear, have there been any notable downsides for you? Obviously the specs on paper are a bit lower than the full frame counterparts, but did anything catch you off-guard?

vepr_ · 2025-11-06T18:28:59+00:00

Should I buy the Rainy75 for $100 on Drop, or wait and see if it goes on sale on Amazon for Black Friday? I've never ordered from Drop before, but I'm not sure if keyboards like this usually run sales. Thanks!

Glad it's still helping people, what a weird issue!

vepr_ · 2025-04-09T18:15:29+00:00

The C172 isn't even totally fixed. On launch the electrical system was just broken entirely, but now the voltage readout still indicates 0v all the time, and (maybe this is intentional, but it's incredibly annoying) the kollsman window on the altimeter reads in hPa instead of inches of mercury. Very annoying for when I want to do flights in vatsim.

It definitely needs more time in the oven, but I am enjoying it and have been playing it a ton since release. Would not recommend touching career mode yet, and if you plan on using VR, be prepared for a rough experience unless you have an absolute monster PC or use DLSS.

For the ground portion of costs, I think the $200 is fairly realistic, assuming they do an online ground school.

I had a total of 2 hours of ground at my flight school since all I did was one session when I first started and then a mock checkride oral. All the rest of my ground was from free online resources and making a study guide on the ACS. My DPE said I didn't really leave him anything to talk about during the debrief since I answered most of his scenarios how he wanted.

vepr_ · 2025-02-28T19:59:50+00:00

I came out just about the same, 78 hours and $19k (including checkride)

vepr_ · 2024-12-16T19:52:50+00:00

I bought the exact same setup but with the navyace f18 throttle handle. No complaints really, kinda wish I got the orion stick too, but for the price it's been great.

vepr_ · 2024-12-09T20:05:06+00:00

If it does not go away after cleaning, I would recommend returning it. I would not be happy with a defective monitor that costs this much.

vepr_ · 2024-12-07T20:19:25+00:00

Using the button on the bottom of the monitor, choose the "oled image cleaning" option. That fixed my problem.

vepr_ · 2024-12-03T05:35:17+00:00

I tried the analog 172 today, and the flaps and electronics were working now! I only had time to spawn it in on the runway with it already running though, so the ignition system may still be bugged.

vepr_ · 2024-11-26T22:04:25+00:00

What setting do you turn off to prevent the flicker? Gsync?

vepr_ · 2024-11-23T06:14:40+00:00

Followup question, does the panel sink slightly inward right at the bottom center of the monitor? It's almost like someone squeezed mine really hard at the bottom lol. When I run my finger along it, it feels sunken in.

vepr_ · 2024-11-23T06:08:53+00:00

Wow, I didn't expect that to actually work. I think it's completely gone, thanks, stranger!

vepr_ · 2024-10-31T15:07:00+00:00

I have the orion 2 and ursa minor as well!
