SeedlessDS setup guide for the Duo Lite and any other underpowered Android devices coming out tomorrow. Because I may as well use this Duo Lite for something beyond a door stopper.

My Retroid Pocket Duo Lite has arrived. I think I need another vacation.

I'm still on vacation for a few more days, but I want you to know that when I come back, I'm renaming the channel to Joey's Retro Handhelds+. Same channel, just plus now. No refunds sorry.

Can we fast forward to November 5th now?

The Anbernic RG DS Plus is coming. Except, if you already have an RG DS, I would hold off on quick selling - the Plus naming is doing a bit of heavy lifting with what the final specs are. This should be a nice low cost alternative though! www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_ZB...

@mrsujano.bsky.social Dude, some videos are using your voice as AI voiceover: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rhx... That's not good.

There's something cathartic when you list a whole bunch of handhelds for sale. Like a weight has been lifted, the skies clear and all is bright.

Seeing some ASUS things here at Gamescom!

All caught up on everything before I leave for Gamescom this weekend - you'll have my KONKR Pocket ADVANCE Quick Look on Monday to look forward to (I like a lot of this except for a major deal breaker). Otherwise, hopefully some Gamescom sneak peeks next week.

For those that haven't seen the loss of detail comparisons in my Nova video, here it is compared to an AYN Odin 2 Portal and TrimUI Brick Pro. The sand is the dead giveaway, but the leaves show it too. Hopefully something Retroid can solve.

73rd game of the year down, Jedi Survivor (27th modern of the year). I liked the first more for linear and story, but the direction at the end of 2 is interesting. Hope we get a third.

I hesitate to say that Retroid shipped by Nova by horseback because I think even horseback would have had it arrive in the 15 days it's taken so far!

Joey's Retro Handhelds @joeysretrohh.bsky.social · 24/07/2026

New arrival, Mangmi Air Y Pro. Embargo, so you'll hear from me in a week!

Joey's Retro Handhelds @joeysretrohh.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

Just waiting patiently for Newscast day so I can gush about the RG SP.

Dear AYN: Portal top screen + Nova bottom screen. AYN Thor XL. You are welcome - enjoy your yachts.

Tracking received for the Retroid Pocket Nova review unit (surprised). They used to ship DHL, this time yunexpress, so it'll be a bit for delivery. Hopefully can get a review out before they ship retail for you all.

Lenovo has a cloud gaming Android handheld coming?

Sneak peek of something I worked on and will be released this week hopefully. No context, those who know will know!

Dual screen Retroid coming second half of this year.

I have no idea what Ayaneo is doing here, but they're so lucky they missed the Newscast... .. Not next week's though!

Where's my $10 off the Nova for being an RP Mini owner? Did they think I forgot?!

Joey's Retro Handhelds @joeysretrohh.bsky.social · 23/06/2026

Okay, I'm in. This is all you had to show.

If anyone needs me, I'll be dying of laughter for days seeing those Steam Machine prices.

Rumors coming in that Retroid will announce a device or two tonight. Twitter users have already started redesigning them.

Joey's Retro Handhelds @joeysretrohh.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

That's a wrap on Pragmata, 11 hours with mix of main and side stuff. Seen it described as a PS2/PS3 era game and just a video game ass video game and I agree. Linear, fun collectibles, all of that. Highly recommend!

Joey's Retro Handhelds @joeysretrohh.bsky.social · 12/04/2026

Yep, definitely bought the full Rock Band set with microphone, drums and guitar. Better believe I got all of that working on my arcade cabinet. My throat being dead from singing is the obvious giveaway. This rabbit hole goes deep.

You can tell how old you are by the difficulty you play Guitar Hero on. I am old.

Anbernic RG Vita Pro arrives. Open Anbernic RG Vita Pro. Turn on and check it over for 10 minutes. Box up Anbernic RG Vita Pro. Anbernic RG Vita Pro departs.

You probably think you're cool, but are you AYN Thor powering an arcade cabinet cool?

Joey's Retro Handhelds @joeysretrohh.bsky.social · 01/04/2026

I've spent $165 USD of my own money to buy the Anbernic RG Vita Pro just for you all. My expectations are lower than my high school grades were. I expect flowers and gratitude.

There has been more frontend releases in the last year than devices. #showerthoughts

Apparently I bought the Powkiddy of fridges. Brand new to dead in three years. Hold your fridges tight everyone, you never know when it'll be your last day with it.
