Retroid offered very limited yields for its port computer

THE Retroid Pocket Mini To an unforeseen problem that makes certain graphic effects so that imitated games do not work properly. Retroid, the Chinese company which makes the Pocket Mini, announced on Discord that it would accept the yields of the device, but only during a limited window from March 8 to 14 – and crowned only 200 feedback from owners who live outside China, as Retrohhels reports.

Earlier in the week, the point of sale indicates that Retroid recognized that it could not solve the problem, which affects the way the screen shows the scan line and the pixel grid shaders used to give the emotional games the appearance of being played on CRT screens for which they were designed. The effects can appear as “displaced scan lines, unequal pixels or a slightly distorted image”, writes the output.

In this morning’s message, Retroid says that the realization of this return campaign is an “important and expensive business” and that it expects “many requests for return outside the problems related to the screen”. Retroid also mentions that he asks customers to pay to ship their feedback, which he promises to reimburse. Finally, the company added that it will offer all the mini pocket owners “a stackable coupon of $ 10” for two of its future covers.

Like Russ of the youtube chain of the Retro Game Corps notes it in a Posted on Reddit By asking for recommendations to transmit to the company to deal with the situation, Retroid is in a difficult situation as a small business which is now faced with having to pay very expensive shipments in return. But that does not change the fact that many players who bought the laptop of $ 199 specifically to play retro games are found with a device whose otherwise impressive display does a bad job with some of the oldest tips of the emulation book.
