It's always a good day when Tech Dweeb uploads

[izzynobre]

I don’t emulate more recent stuff like PS2 and GameCube so much but when Dweeb uploads, I’m there

[Opebin]

I know we talk a lot about "the one" but this really feels like "the one" that I can finally stop blowing so much money on all these handhelds that I've been waiting for

...I'll probably still get more because of the addiction, but it does everything I've wanted and with such an amazing look

Normally the voice of a narrator is really important to me. I would have never been able to put the qualities of your voice together as pleasant and relaxing. When other creaters ar sick incan barely listen. This is just relaxing and i dont understand the contradiction.

Oddly enough, sick tech dweeb sounds LESS nasally 🤔❤

I'm absolutely loving mine, especially the AMOLED screen and 4:3 aspect perfect for retro games. I have it set to a composite TV filter so NES SNES games look as close to CRT as you can get. The weight and glass face especially give it that "premium" device feel, feels fantastic in your hands.

[ryanbartlett]

Amazing writing and performance as usual. Thanks Dr. Dweeb.

[kottonmouthUK]

Get well soon my gaming buddy! Love from U.K 😘

[condi_tv]

Just the way I wanted to end my night, kicking back with another Tech Dweeb vid :)

[deathsnitemaresinfullust]

Hope you feel better soon Tech Buddy, I mean Dweeb
😅👍

[Chrisdumm]

You’re like Atlas over there holding up our retro gaming fantasy world. It’s all good brother. Feel free to shrug whenever you need to! We appreciate your amazing work out there. Get well soon!

Some users on Reddit found out the screen resolution is actually higher than stated from Retroid but it’s outputting 960p and it’s making shaders not work correctly. Have you noticed anything when using shaders?

The only thing that tempts me is the ability to play Saturn on the beetle core but yeah, my Steamdeck and rp2s has me covered for all my needs. If it was 4' it might have tipped the balance for me but I understand why not. The xx devices aren't powerful enough for what I like to play which are full Dreamcast compatability and good enough Saturn with yabasanshiro. I've a Steamdeck for everything else that tickles my fancy on the higher end + pc couch gaming. So, I guess I'm good. I feel the rp2s doesn't get the love it deserves so happy you mentioned it.

[EmperorStorky]

It's always nice to watch a video from you :)

[jsar]

Id never buy Retroid for all their issues, but I still love watching these videos.

[TheRealAlpha]

When you get sick and nasally, but somehow gain a deeper voice that makes you sounds like you put on about 150 lbs of pure muscle...

[briirene]

The comfort graph 🤭🤭 the humor is always spot on

[carloscolon]

So glad this isn’t a 10 min video on how DKC returns on Wii runs on this. Great video as always

[Ellienollie]

ive been watching his videos and i enjoy his theme and personalization and effort with little stuff like even the graphs. its all him. very mindful

[Sar]

I hope I feel better soon tech dweeb. Much love and well wishes from London.
