Comment on Review for Retroid Pocket Mini V2
Blue_Morpho@lemmy.world 1 day agotbh it’s really not worth all the hype unless you want to take the 100-300 hours to set it up properly and ensure all the boxart is there.
So Rocknix isn’t as developed like Emuelec and all the other Linux gaming front ends? Because fixing boxart was one of the huge hassles on the Retroid 3+. The Retroid front end got 90% of the art but fixing that last 10% took hours. In comparison my Anbernic and Miyoo Mini were perfect. And customizing it was trivial because I could stick the SD card in my PC and move the files around. The Retroid front end didn’t let you do that. The other hassle was some of the emulators on the Retroid had their own menus so entering and exiting games wasn’t a single button push like Linux emulators.

your assessment is spot on. Don’t get me wrong, I love my RP5 but the UX leaves much to be desired.
it doesn’t bother me much since I use it more as a streaming handheld than retro.
