my Retroid Flip came in yesterday and I’m already a big fan of it. got RetroArch and Daijisho so it’s good to go.

so give me your retro game reps! This thing can play games on Android, and the following consoles (that I care about)

  • NES

  • SNES

  • N64

  • Sega Master System

  • Sega CD

  • Sega 32X

  • Sega Saturn

  • Sega Dreamcast

  • Neo-Geo

  • PS1

  • Game Boy

  • Game Boy Color

  • Game Boy Advance

  • Nintendo DS

  • Playstation Portable

It can also play every Arcade System (MAME, etc) and home computer (amiga, the C64 i guess lol)

it plays some stuff on the GameCube and PS2, but not very well.

throw whatever at me, doesn’t matter how obscure! the only caveat is that for DS games, stuff that rarely uses touch controls is preferred unless it has a dpad patch like the zelda games.

    These are my personal favorites. Note that many of these I enjoyed as a kid so I can’t 100% be certain adults will like all of them lol. Some of these are also pretty popular so you may have heard of them already.

    • NES: Lone Ranger, Super Mario Bros 2, Spy vs Spy
    • SNES: Earthbound, Pilotwings, Blackthorne, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island, Kirby Superstar
    • N64: Super Smash Bros, Star Fox 64, Paper Mario
    • SMS: Didn’t play this one much.
    • Sega CD: Lunar: Silver Star
    • Sega 32X: Knuckles’ Chaotix, but I’m fairly certain it would not be great as an adult.
    • Sega Saturn: Didn’t play this one much either. I remember thinking Nights into Dreams looked really pretty but it felt pretty unrefined, and didn’t get into it.
    • Sega Dreamcast: Only every played Crazy Taxi on this one.
    • Neo-Geo: Never played it.
    • PS1: I liked a game called Dragonseeds. FF7 and FF9, and FFT too. Harvest Moon: BTN.
    • Game Boy / Game Boy Color: Zelda Link’s Awakening (DX), Pokemon Games, TMNT: Fall of Foot Clan
    • GBA: Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Moto Racer, Mario Kart Super Circuit
    • DS: Final Fantasy Tactics A2, Mario Kart DS, Professor Layton Series, Phoenix Wright Series
    • PSP: I didn’t ever have one, or emulate one. But if the Sid Meier’s Pirates port is any good, it may be worth a shot!

    If possible, update us on how the Retroid Flip is!

      So far I still love it! It’s been with me on my trip in Japan and it’s been doing a fantastic job of keeping me occupied during the downtime. Fantastic battery life and the hinge is still going strong, which was my biggest worry. But yeah I can recommend it wholeheartedly!
