The RP2 has the ability to run under two separate operating systems. Out of the box, it runs a slightly customized version of Android 6.0. After a few simple steps, you can switch to RetroidOS, which is a more streamlined, one-size-fits-all emulation system. | The RP2 has the ability to run under two separate operating systems.

If you're looking for an experience similar to other handhelds in this price range, RetroidOS delivers. However, under RetroidOS, the RP2 doesn't offer any more features or significantly improved performance when compared to similarly-speced handhelds | If you're looking for an experience similar to other handhelds in this price range, RetroidOS delivers.

What makes the RP2 different to other budget handhelds is the fact that it also runs (mostly regular) Android 6.0. Emulating retro systems under Android, you have access to all the options provided by the emulators, allowing you to tweak settings until you get the best possible performance in your games. You also have the ability to install emulators for dozens of systems that few, if any, other retro handhelds support, such as the 8-bit and 16-bit home computer systems of the 80s and 90s, as well as some more obscure and unusual consoles. | What makes the RP2 different to other budget handhelds is the fact that it also runs (mostly regular) Android 6.0.
