The Sony WH-1000XM5 Are the Most Varied Headphones Available

2 months ago | retroresolve.com | Wesley Copeland

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.5 out of 5. Price at the time of review: $299.99 / £299.99Normally when I review headphones, I’ve got several words floating around my head to describe how they sound. With the WH-1000XM5 from Sony, I have one: Versatile.
CRKD's ATOM Controller Is a Fun Pint-Sized Collectible

2 months ago | retroresolve.com | Wesley Copeland

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4 out of 5. Price at time of review: $19.99 / £19.99. It’s easy to see where the ATOM controller from CRKD fits, and what it is and isn’t trying to accomplish. This micro device isn’t trying to compete with the likes of 8BitDo or Razer to be the best controller going. It’s not even a direct opponent to CRKD’s own excellent Nintendo Switch dock-controller hybrid, the Nitro Deck.
The Edifier NeoDots Are a Solid Cost-Effective Option with Some Surprising Tech

Jan 21, 2025 | retroresolve.com | Wesley Copeland

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 3.5 out of 5. Price at time of review: $129.99/£120 (I’ve seen them as low as $80/ £89.99). I’ve made no secret about how much I adore Edifier’s other earphones, the NeoBuds Pro 2. I’m someone who will normally always go with headphones over earphones due to the difference in quality. But the NeoBuds changed that thanks to some seriously killer audio prowess. How do the NeoDots compare? It all depends what you’re after.
The CRKD NEO S Purple Wave Is a Solid Choice for Fortnite Festival and Clone Hero Players

Jan 16, 2025 | retroresolve.com | Wesley Copeland

⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 3.5 out of 5. Price at time of review: $59.99 | Works on: Switch, iOS, Android, PC. If you’re a Fortnite Festival or Clone Hero player unsure about picking up the CRKD x Fortnite Festival NEO S Purple Wave controller, I’ve been using it as my main gaming controller and believe it’s a solid pick-up as long as you know exactly what it is and isn’t you’re getting. I’m going to split this review into two parts.
You Can Now Play Some PS3 Games on the Raspberry Pi 5

Dec 10, 2024 | retroresolve.com | Wesley Copeland

Following the release of support for ARM64 devices, the popular PS3 emulator RCPS3 has come to the Raspberry Pi 5. Discussing the announcement over on the official website, the RCPS3 team says that due to the Raspberry Pi 5 housing an ARM-based CPU and at least 8GB of RAM — the recommended amount of RAM needed to run the PS3 emulator — it made sense to try and get RCPS3 running on the device.
How to Install Knulli on Anbernic Handhelds the Easy Way

Dec 5, 2024 | retroresolve.com | Wesley Copeland

Almost every Anbernic review I’ve written has the same complaint: The stock operating system is painfully dull. Thankfully, custom firmware is here to rectify Anbernic’s biggest shortcoming. My personal pick for Anbernic devices is the excellent Knulli. Not only is Knulli super-stylish, it’s also surprisingly simple to use, and any problems it does have can be fixed fairly simply.
At $50, the TrimUI Smart Pro Is a Must-Have Retro Handheld

Dec 2, 2024 | retroresolve.com | Wesley Copeland

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.5 out of 5. Price at time of review: $48/£33. As one of the cheapest retro handhelds out there, it’s hard to believe what this device is capable of. Old-school retro, some newer systems, select modern indie games, the is a better prospect than many of the devices that cost twice as much. How good is this super-budget device?
The Edifier M60 Offers up a Budget Price With Some Serious Bass - Review

Nov 26, 2024 | retroresolve.com | Wesley Copeland

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Rating: 4.5 out of 5. At $169.99/£159.99, the Edifier M60 aims to be the go-to bass speakers. But are they any good? I’ve spent eight days with them and think there’s a lot more to these budget-friendly speakers than you may think. The Edifier M60’s bass may pound like a pneumatic drill, but it’s deceptively wide and never overwhelms. I didn’t feel like my brain was being scrambled at all. Not just that, but it enriches the surrounding melodies.
Star Fox 64 Is Heading to PC (Kind of)

Nov 25, 2024 | retroresolve.com | Wesley Copeland

A native PC port of N64 title Star Fox 64 is coming to PC. Announced via The Harbour Masters 64 Discord group, the port is a recompilation of the N64 classic (think reverse-engineered and coded for PC). No release date for Star Fox 64 on PC was mentioned as of yet, but the team did release a video of the title in action, complete with a rather lush 16:9 aspect ratio. Check it out below.
Sony Begins Work on New Handheld Gaming Device

Nov 24, 2024 | retroresolve.com | Wesley Copeland

Sony is currently in the process of designing a new gaming handheld that would let owners play PS5 games on the go. That’s according to a new report out of Bloomberg (paywalled), which states Sony is looking for a new way to bring PlayStation games, and presumably services, to a wider audience while also combating the forthcoming Xbox handheld.
