r/Retroidpocketflip2

Ordered direct from retroid yesterday, wondering if anyone in aus can tell me their recent experience with ship times?

Hello everyone is the flip 2 worth it for like switch games like Zelda bow,tok some pc games like gta 4,5 maybe even more games.

I’m torn between the Retroid Pocket Flip 2 and the Retroid Pocket 6. I’ve never owned an Android handheld before, so I’m not sure which one would be the better first device.

I mainly want to play PSP, PS2, some Switch games, and PC games such as Garry’s Mod, Hollow Knight, Celeste, GTA V, GTA: San Andreas, The Sims 3, Subnautica, and Dying Light. I really love the Flip 2’s clamshell design and portability, but the RP6 seems significantly more powerful and would probably handle demanding games better.

Both devices appeal to me for different reasons, and I’m having a hard time deciding. I’m not interested in the AYN Thor because I specifically want a single-screen device.

For someone buying their first Android handheld, which one would you recommend? Is the Flip 2 powerful enough for this kind of use, or would the RP6 be the safer choice because of its extra performance and headroom?

I rebooted from Desktop mode in Pocknix and now its asking for a PIN.

I never set one up nor was I prompted in the install.

Cant reboot/shutdown from the menu, cant hard shutdown/reboot via the power key.

Is there a default PIN or any other option to restart/shutdown?

EDIT: Hard reset did work, not sure why it asked for a pin on restart as a second hard restart dropped into Desktop mode without a PIN request.

So I've had a Retroid Pocket Flip 2 for a couple of weeks and while I currently have a 512 GB microSD card I'm considering getting a 1 TB before prices spike even higher, because I want to test out more PC games natively which take up a lot more space.

I have multiple SD card readers and good type C cables that reliably transfer files so I feel like I should be able to hook up my Flip 2 and a new SD card to my computer at once and transfer all the files over, but is there anything I should know or do before hand?

When I set my Flip 2 up I put all my BIOS and emulators on the internal storage with this in mind. Before my Flip 2 came I pre-installed a bunch of games onto my 512 SD card, but it corrupted soon after inserting it so I had to reformat it and re add the games again, so I'm a little scared of that happening again after transferring everything over. Any tips or advice is appreciated!

Sidenote, I'd be going from an A2 170 MB/s write speed to an A1 150 MB/s, are the speed differences gonna be noticeable?

Hi all. I ordered my Pocket Flip 2 on the 7th but haven’t gotten any emails except to confirm my order. Can anyone tell me if this is normal for retroid?

hey, i am looking to buy a retroid pocket flip 2 rn and i am not so sure to buy it now or wait for the new double screen handheld if retroid coming out at the end of 2026. with the flip i am going to play ps2 wii u a few switch games and retro emulation of consoles that are older. at home i have a switch 2 and a ps5 but i wanted something more portable.
let me know your opinions, ty!!!

I have been trying to see what this device can do and have seen that people have gotten games to work through winlator. Now I am very new to this and I followed a guide on how to setup but it seems like I either missed/messed something up and I can't figure out how to have a game run good. For example I saw someone was able to play dark souls remastered and tried to get it to run but failed at every try. If anyone has any advice, tips, or recommendations for getting a game to run it would be much appreciated. And if anyone has had success with a game running using winlator please let me know what game so I can at least see if games that people have tried and were successful at running the game to see if I can recreate that. Any and all advice is welcome and once again VERY appreciated 👍

Just wondering what plug and play games there are that are pretty lightweight so hopefully don't tax the battery too much.

For instance, has anyone tried Plants vs Zombies Replanted? Or the Shadow of Doubt games? Or Worms Armageddon?

Cela fait déjà 1 mois que j'ai commandé et c'est toujours pas expédié 😭

So I was kind of new to the handheld world when I jumped into the RP5. But then they released the Flip 2 (which as a noob, I had no idea was coming). I feel like I would have preferred that device and would have played it more than my RP5 (more comfortable hold? better portability with the clam shell? All just speculation on my part). I am now wondering if they will release a Flip3 and if I should get it if the dp. Does anyone own both a Flip and RP style and which do you prefer? It's so hard to tell without being able to hold them in your hands or see them in person. Pros vs cons?

With the industry seeming to go towards dual screens and with the rumors will there even be a single screen 16:9 flip 3 released? I specifically was looking for a clamshell, 16:9, single screen device where ideally it'd have the more powerful internals from the rp6 instead.
