Retro Game Corps

Steam Machine just arrived. What sort of videos would you like to see with it? I am initially thinking a review video and an emulation test/showcase.

New video! Here is a recap of my recent trip to Australia, where things are a little bit different. youtu.be/jcSxIrjYTCw

Back home from holiday, here is today's newsletter if you want to catch up on news and deals: buttondown.com/retrogamecorps…

@YabroskiG Yep the Steam Input-friendly mode works via the USB dongle, but you can connect via BT if you want too. I believe that it keeps the 1000Hz polling rate when switching modes too

@RetroGameCorps I just watched this entire video. Great job! Some questions I have are when you put it in steam Input mode is it still over the dongle instead of Bluetooth? Also, does it lower the polling rate of the controller when using it in steam input mode?

New video! Here is a look at 8BitDo's gorgeous new transparent blue Ultimate 2 wireless controller: youtu.be/ZUceW3ZGBzs

This is awesome

Some of these prices are higher than last year, while others are a pretty good deal. The best deals include BATLEXP G350 ($35), Miyoo Mini Flip ($55), RG35XXSP ($57), RG35XXH ($59), RG Rotate ($85), RG DS ($92), and the RG476H ($144).

AliExpress is having another "Choice Day" sale to celebrate 4th of July. Here are global/US coupon codes plus a roundup of some of the better deals: youtube.com/post/Ugkx7ZcHT…

@LVCranston I might be wrong here, but I believe the white model has 1GB RAM vs 2GB RAM on the blue model. You should be able to go into the system software and find the info in the System Settings > Information tab.

@RetroGameCorps Apologies for this off-topic q. The blue Powkiddy X55 is a year old. White is new. I swapped both SD cards from blue into white. Games run more slowly on white with identical settings. How is this possible? Quake 3 via Ports runs great on blue; near unplayable on white. Thoughts?

AYN Thor price increases will go into effect Thursday 02JUL at 10pm ET (7pm PT). Odin 2 Portal and Odin 3 are also increasing by $10 per SKU. Affiliate link: tinyurl.com/RGC-AYN Non-affiliate: ayntec.com

@rickymakescrap But between the Thor and the other models, I use the Odin 3 more because of its form factor and additional power. Another recent video breaking that down: youtu.be/A3_r3tnbztA?si…

@rickymakescrap The Thor Lite is great if you want to focus on DS/3DS and PS2/GC, the Base is better suited for Switch and lite PC gaming. I prefer the Pro for the additional color options, that's what I have. My recent Thor Lite review breaks it down: youtu.be/zeewxpMNMX8?si…

Fun trivia: I appear (just for a flash) in the first two seconds of this video. I had a great time having dinner with Paul in Taipei, I built my first emulation PC in 2019 based on one of his videos, which kickstarted my own channel in some ways.

I bought the 8GB Crystal. I had planned on buying two for color comparisons but it wouldn't let me check out. Also, $65 shipping to Hawaii :(

It's live now!

@Spowehn1 They’re saying end of July

@RetroGameCorps When does shipping begin?

Here is the RP Nova pricing. Pre-orders start tomorrow (26JUN) at 9pm ET / 6pm PT. Affiliate link: tinyurl.com/RPNovaRGC Non-affiliate: goretroid.com/products/retro…

We've finally got all the details for Retroid's upcoming Pocket Nova handheld, including price and pre-order date (tomorrow). Full info dump video: youtu.be/Hao6L-0Qtk4

@GetFitWithJared Yes!

@RetroGameCorps So is this basically an RP6 with a 4:3 screen?

Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 equivalent chipset confirmed in the Retroid Pocken Nova. QCS8550 is simply the IOT variant of this chip, with the 5G module removed. This is going to be awesome

@bcheelyeah It has analog triggers.

@RetroGameCorps Lack of analog triggers for a system best suited to PS2/Gamecube feels like a huge disappointment to me.
