Shame it’s android only
Not really. Android has been doing great in terms of emulation.
Why? You can install Dajisho and it’s great.
I just prefer an open source Linux/community supported OS so my handheld won’t be left to die like my old Nvidia Shield Portable.
I’m not dissing Retroid devices but the Android only thing puts me off buying one
Yeah that makes sense. On the other hand I see drivers are more optimized for android. I have an orange Pi Zero 2 that does both android and Armbian, the android versions are much more efficient than the Linux ones.
I don’t think there will ever be a perfect OS or hardware in this marketplace. Everyone is chasing a white whale. I’ve been doing it since the GP32x and I’d buy every damn device that came out if I didn’t have some rules for myself.
I’ve currently got the Miyoo Mini which is great but a bit too tiny for me. So I went and got the MM+ which seems perfect for now at least…….
I agree with you, this turns me off buying any of these devices too. I look after my stuff and keep it for a long time, so I don't want something the manufacturer is going to forget about and never update again after 6 months.
