Should I buy a controller for my Samsung Galaxy A55 or buy a Retroid Pocket 5? Which would be better at emulating?

>>106869030>>106869039Welp link borked. Check /hhg/ on >>>/vr/
>>106869030if you want to do any sort of emulation only get snapdragon/adreno devices. avoid samsung exynos chipsets or mali gpus. your phone is samsung exynos. retroid is snapdragon.
>>106869047wouldnt it just be >>>/vr/12092586i dont link crossboard that often
>>106869086huh neat
>>106869030all in one solution would be better download emulators+roms of your choice, then get a gamesir x5/galileo
>>106869030Don't get those 1 purpose devices, it's a weird hobby grown men have. Also, if you decide to upgrade your phone in the future, S25 emulation is crazy! Or just get a refurbished steam deck.
>>106869151>Don't get those 1 purpose devices, it's a weird hobby grown men have.You sound like a woman.
>>106869030I would get the retroid handheld. It looks like a very fun device, I would even get it myself if I didn't already have a 3ds.
>>106869200Good guess. My ex pilled me on emulation, back when I was a nintendo sheep. Having multiple devices for the same purpose is just consoom and collectorfag. Just use your PC/Laptop and get a handheld PC. If you are considering an ARM device, just use your phone.
>>106869320The 'eck is just too fucking big. It really isn't appealing to me.For retro emulation, an ARM device is much more efficient and has better battery life. A dedicated device is more comfortable to hold than your phone with controllers attached. It looks like the switch 2 if it was good.
>>106869368Fair. I mean I'd prefer psp/switch-lite sized handhelds, everything bigger than a switch(yes even the switch2) is not really portable, for me personally. And yea, battery life and ARM devices, can't beat that, but the Steam Deck plays retro games at a low tdp really efficient and you have the option for x86 PC games x)
Buy a refurbished Steam deck
>>106869030as with everything, depends on what you want to emulate. my rp mini does gc and wii beautifully. switch emulation is still a bit rocky. mega comfortable, actually pocketable, and screen is gorgeous. battery is good, speakers are meh. you can even stream pc if you dont mind playing on a postage stamp (you wouldnt have that issue with the rp5 youre looking at). galaxy a series is dogshit, do not waste your time. you'll spend slightly less for significantly worse
>>106869030Deck would be best if you just want emulation in the house or a trip, but it's a little too bulky & valuable imo to take out in public for me (diverse state) so I'm looking at one of those retroids or something. Vita's also pretty good, having the godly-for-emulation psp inside it, but they may be getting hard to find now, idk, I still have my 1000. These mentions in /vr/'s /hhg/ are pretty attractive.
>>106869030Nintendo Wii-hack it. Thank me later.>but handhel-No one cares and neither do you.
Which one has the best single-core performance?
>>106869030I bought a dedicated handheld, Odin 2, cause I don't want to install games on my work phone.It's great, you can pretty much dock it too if you wanna play in a big screen. I also use it for gachaslop.
>>106869368Deck for ps2 emulation and upAnbernic device (I have a rg34xx) for ps1 emulation and downHacked 3ds for (3)ds games
>>106869200What a retarded thing to say.
