which way white man?
>>724136293my oled telephone
Neither as only retards spend money on hardware that's used solely for emulating
Every day I wake up and thank god for blessing us with the ROCKCHIP 3326. Everything humanity has achieved throughout the ages: discovering fire, the bronze and iron ages, countless wars, the water peoples, dozens of empires, going to the moon and back; all pale against the moment the 3326 was born. It's only been downhill from there.

here is my chinkheld, it plays up to GBA which is all I need. It might play more but I have never tested. It was very cheap.

>>724136293My way or the highway
>>724136293White men can afford a Steam Deck, so neither.
>>724136293Still using my RG351MP
>>724139572I can't put a steam deck in my pocket.
People say shill a lot. I think this is one of those times it should be said.
>>724139535I know a guy who read the name Gamesir once and it mind broke him. now he renamed himself Gamesir in all games.
>>724139572steam deck is retarded and too big for many games.when I play something like a GBC game at aspect raidou its straight up half of the screen not being used.
>>724139572I have a deck and a chinkheldWhat color is my skin?

I've got the bottom one, waiting on the Mangmi Air X I ordered, shit's gonna be so cash.
>>724139572Steam deck is too big and I don't really feel comfortable taking it anywhere without it's case. Getting a cheap $50-$100 handheld or collapsible phone controller that actually fits in your pocket is great, you can pop it out when you're stuck somewhere like in a waiting room or whatever. Steam deck and other pc handhelds are better for longer planned stuff like if you've got a flight or are in a hotel room for the night.
>>724141151why didnt you just pay a little more and get the superior rp4p
>>724139572in a low trust society you need devices that are easily put away and are cheap enough to not get mugged over
>>724140508we need more rk3588 handhelds
>>724141617that would mean less rk3326 chinkhelds, which is absolutely unacceptable. An RK3326 in every home!
Never thought the 34xx would end up as my pocket chinkheld, but here I am. Did take some fixing with tape though.
I'm interested in maybe buying a chinkheld that can run up to N64 and PSX games, maybe even PS2. What are some reliable options?
>>724142787up to PSX will cost you up to 50 bucks and there are a plethora of options there. many good ambernics there.PS2 requires a big jump in hardware and you wont get anything that can run that under 180. thats kinda the domain of retroid right now but there's others too.
>>724142787>PCSX ReARMedAnything.>Duckstation with settings such as upres, overclocking$100>N64$100 for actual coverage, $150 if you're aiming for harder to run games. Forget ParaLLel-RDP either way, GlideN64 is as good as it'll get. If you're a casual who only plays SM64 and OoT, those emulate and have ports that run ok on cheap stuff. >PS2$200. The stuff under that comes short.
>>724142597love minegba form factor is near perfect
>>724143168>>724143343Thanks anons, I guess I will take a look at the retroid stuff. I'm not oppossed to putting in some money.
>>724139305Had to sell this one. Right stick placement is absolutely abysmal for anything 3d.
>>724143815Retroid Pocket 5 and Retroid Flip 2 have the same hardware just in different form factors and can do PS2 well.They are basically android phones. Setup is a bit gay but after you are done its easy. There's videos for that.A Retroid 6 might come out soon dunno if the wait is worth.
>>724136293is that the best mega man song? only skull man gets close, really.
>>724143815You're welcome. It's gonna sound like the most shill shit possible, but I swear, ignore anyone who make wild claims about performance per price ratio INCLUDING the youtube shill reviewers. No one fucking plays these things. Also, I'd advise against clamshells personally though my SP hasn't cracked, in some specific cases you'll want to prioritize Snapdragon chips for their GPU, and like the other guy said Retroid is about to announce new shit though it'll probably be pricier than their current ones. t.own 7, started off thinking RG353V would have been my Pokemon Stadium Game Boy only to be met with stutters. >>724143449Yeah, I'm more surprised I managed to adapt to the stacked face buttons.
>>724143949nigga just install the retroarch apk what fucking setup are you faggots doing
>>724136293Is anyone getting Thor? I really like one, but I also have a N2DSXL... I'll for sure get an Anbernic DS, for a hundo it's a no-brainer.
>>724143949>Retroid Pocket 5 and Retroid Flip 2 have the same hardwareThat's good to know.>Setup is a bit gayWhat about it is gay? Is it gayer than say hacking a Vita?
>>724142787We've got you covered at /csg/, anon. https://csg-guide.neocities.org/#gaming-handhelds
>>724139572Buying a deck to play emulatorslop is insane. You can buy a Retroid Pocket 5, which has an OLED screen, for less than half the price of the LCD deck, and it will play everything up to 6th gen plus Wii and CEMU.
>>724144378Nothing about the setup is gay if you aren't. Just install a couple of apps from the store and several .apk from GitHub/fdroid, load some BIOS and ROM files and play. It becomes gay if you want a frontend, covers, themes, retro achievements and all that homo stuff.
Why i need this when i have a CTR & Nes?
Just be a normal person and buy switch
>>724136293Bought a Miyoo Mini Plus for cheap and set it up as a birthday gift for a friend. Now I'm thinking about picking up one for myself. I also might go for something more expensive and powerful though because I'd love to be able to play some Saturn and N64 on it as well. Decisions, decisions...
>>724144348you will need more than retroarch for a retroid, unless you want to ignore PS2 and other systems.
>>724136293no idea, since i don't know what either of those are, since you didn't say, you retarded contextless-posting faggot, now kill yourself
>>724144585What if you want to play SNES or Genesis, nerd?
>>724139354>no headphone jackeh
>>724144629Get something better for yourself. MM can barely run PS1, you can do much better for a price. Refer to>>724144430
>>724144348>>724144515>>724144638Thanks anons, so it's not really difficult. I still have to consider if it's really worth getting a good retroid if I already have a Steam Deck up and running with all my emulators. I just really want something with the form factor of the 3DS XL or the Vita.
>>724144453No, it won't. Nevermind being walled off from modern standards like Parallel-RDP and Beetle, Android's missing several emulators like specific arcade boards ones (ie Model 2) that otherwise need to be bruteforced by MAME on software mode and don't run well even on desktops, Xbox, 360, and the future of Android software as a whole is extremely dubious with mandatory IDs for devs coming next year (it won't stop there).
>>724144362I'm on the fence about a dual screen. The Thor is a no-go for me, because one of the screens remains on at all times. Which is an absolute shame, as it's got insane battery life.
>>724144362From what I've gathered, emulating 3DS and Vita isn't quite there and it's more optimal to jailbreak and play those libraries on original hardware.That said, the Thor seems like quite the experience. The fact that you can emulate games and multitask with YouTube or something is enticing for me.
>>724144862>I just really want something with the form factor of the 3DS XL or the Vita.Probably just wait then. The one Vitaesque chinkheld has a shoddy screen, the 3DS XL clone needs to be stress tested.
>>724144973Vita is rough because Vita3k is rough. 3DS is getting considerably better all the time, and the latest Snapdragons (not Elite!) are fantastic at it.
>>724136293phone with strapdeal with it fagets
>>724144703I also had snes & genesis too, been trying to sell them because i really dont play them.
>>724145015who carestheres nothing to emulate on vitathe troonsona games are on switch so just emulate those
>>724145015Yea Vita3K is rough. I had it up and running on PC for Gravity Rush and it was actually alright, with the odd graphical glitch here and there. Managing and setting it up can be finiky af.I'll have to give 3DS emulation a chance then!
>>724145129Killzone Mercenary, Soul Sacrifice, Gravity Rush, and Freedom Wars are all good games little sharty.
Those only make sense if you travel a lot and don't have a psp or 3ds already. If you're going to play at home a Deck or pirated Switch is better. I only have to take two or three four hour train trips every year for work and I bring my pirated 2ds because it's actually portable.
>>724145303gravity rush is fine but the vita version might as well be a prototype.the rest are garbage. seriously.
we need a fucking primehack for kid icarus already
>>724145312after i achieve full ego death from wagecucking i spend the rest of my day in bed, handhelds let me play vidya where otherwise id just be watching useless shit on youtube

>>724136381>didn't even realize my phone was oled until this postwell shit
>>724147153RG Arc, but it doesn't even get close to running Saturn. The other Anbernics with Sega d-pads aren't floating and while I like it on the CubeXX, I get why this can be a dealbreaker.
>>724136293When are we going to get something that has a PSP-like form factor with Linux on an x86 chip (or ARM with a good x86 compatibility layer)?Emulators are nice but I want to play (lightweight, mostly 2D) PC games.
>>724148114When the tech allows for it. 'eck or switch is about as small as you can get currently.
>>724147854nice, it even has the six button layout, i will keep an eye on it until saturn emulation gets better
>>724148619Ayaneo made a 5.5" x86 with a really good (for the time) APU. Deck is not the smallest it can get. The Deck is a 7" and the Switch is a 6"
>>724143948How did you manage to sell something that isn't even out yet?
sad that chinks ditched x86 and took the androidpill still looking for that pocket VN machine

>>724149145x86 is a fucking monster to power and cool. They gave up because there's little to no demand for that vs what they can make with cheap android chinkhelds.

>>724153374Bro, no. I've messed with that shit for five years from 2009 to 2014 and every time one of you useless retard would tell me SNES emulation was 'fixed,' I'd download the latest TYLme mod and it would be the same bullshit.Can't run full speed.Sounds like shit.Graphics messed up.
>>724153389It is quite nice, don't let autists deprive you of that. Composhit output is a little annoying though. t. CRT box idort
>>724153547Then just do it on a phone, not some overpriced chink crap. If someone have to buy one of these they might as well get a real handheld console, not these knock offs
>>724153578As it's PAL-M, it's not that bad.I literally have to load a "nes ntsc palette" to get the wrong ntsc colors right.
>>724136430These devices are not used solely for emulation. They can play modern android games.
>>724136293I love my Odin 2 Portal
Finally, N64 on the go
>>724153724So...its a shitty phone?
>>724153798No, it's better given active cooling, proper aspect ratios, and better buttons and sticks than the 3km long attachments from gamesaaar that somehow cost $100.
>loki max>razer edgeITS GAME TIME!
>>724153645shut the fuck up already phonejeet. a $50 handheld that plays thousands of games will is not overpriced. you just can't afford it with the USD-rupee exchange rate.
>>724151464The problem here is you're a gearfag. That's your primary hobby. Not playing video games. So you ought to look for a more effective way to express your gearfaggotry than with chinese gaming handhelds.
>>724154001>handheld>good coolingAlso just get a cheap bracket for a real controller like Xbox or Dual sense. There, a handheld better than chink shit for cheap. And a regular Phone will be miles more powerfull than this crap
>>724154151If money is not an issue why not buy a real handheld not these chink emulation pseudo phones? If you want cheap just use a phone.These crap things are a scam, weak and overpriced
>>724153798Phones are way shittier than these things. Phones have nerfed hardware with bad cooling. These things are basically high end Linux/Android machines disguised as gaming devices. Snapdragon even has mesa drivers just like Steam Deck.
>>724153645>If someone have to buy one of these they might as well get a real handheld console, not these knock offsCool, let's check out the real handhelds consoles:>a gigantic streaming tablet for a shitty platform with no games, except this time it's not Nintendo's>a big d-padless intentional ghosting mess with no games and no battery lifeYeah, I'm sticking with Chang on this one until you heal from the severe mental illness.

>>724154437For $200 you can get a snapdragon gen 2 handheld that rapes any $800 snapdragon 8 elite due to better cooling, better mesa drivers, etc.
>>724153798No. These devices have-a more comfortable form factor-less input lag than standard android-better cooling-are something you can hand another person and not worry about your personal dataAlso the Linux devices can play portmaster games, giving them a unique library not seen on a phone.
>>724154437You don't know what MESA or RADV are stfu
>>724154237You don't even play games, do you? Not only these controllers are so shit, but SO shit that chinks are genuinely outdoing them at cheaper prices without even being very good at all, there is no worse setup to play games than a fucking brick hanging over a controller.

>>724154662How is an offline device going to spy on me?
>>724139354Name aside this is actually the only good alternative for a handheld these days.

>>724155071It will run quite a lot of the 2d indie pixel Switch ports, many of which are unavailable on Android. When people are talking about Switch emulation in this situation they are referring to those ports (as opposed to PC Switch emulation where those ports are an afterthought since native PC versions exist). So on an RG477M for instance you can play Hollow Knight at 60 fps via Switch emulation. (You could also potentially play via Winlator, but ymmv).

>>724155071>>724155124/v/hartytroons, it's time to update your knowledge on chinkhelds. It's not 2020 anymore, and the Snapdragon g3 gen 3 exists.

>>724156528Where do you think your phone was made?Where do you think Nintendo Switches are made?
Hot take. While i prefer physical buttons, but because the kind of retro games i play, i don't really mind touch buttons. There are usually wide black bars so touch buttons don't even get in the way of the view, i also play lots of turn based games and some less reaction heavy games. Like i wouldn't play play through Megaman Zero games through touch screen, it didn't bother me getting through in Summon night GBA games. Not the idealistic way to play things, but back then there were no small handhelds either linux or android based like todays and there were times i had to stay in place for a hour because next bus came around that time

>>724156691These things have been around for years now, and you can just scour all the handheld subreddits for their experiences with the things. Though I think you're just here to troll.

>>724156697Then get a PC!(Consoles are for cucks, handhelds are for ultra cucks that are plugged in a wall 2h after battery dies)
>>724156775I think I saw some videos on it on Youtube, and it was -just- at the mark to make them playable at 1x resolution. Which is what I'd do with PS2 anyway. Software > Hardware. I want the games to look like they were supposed to look like on the original hardware. Not blown up to 8k resolution with broken visual effects.
>>724156691I see. They solved sticks drifting within 1XX hours yet?
>>724156691>these strange no brands dont.They do. You're very out of the loop. Most of the top brands have better build quality than the Switch. They also have better analog sticks.
>>724156786Yeah, because its true.
>>724156884no need to double down.
>>724156817I do have a PC, and the handheld I use is a Linux-based pocket PC.
>>724156849Yes. Pretty much every one of these chinkhelds from $80 and up use hall effect analogs now, you shartyshitter troll.
>>724156852They have no 1st party games.Only piracy and phoneshit.
>>724156846Nah, SD865 does 2x for regular PS2 stuff, same chip as the RP5. It just gets less RAM. >>724156960I meant Nintendo, but you're not entirely wrong.
>>724156960Read more critically anon. You're replying to someone talking about Switch sticks.
>>724156394Don't they're probably gonna announce mini 2 on monday
>>724157028>nintendoOh. Carry on, then. Those fucking Jews disgust me and I'll never buy their hardware ever again.
>>724154672That mech reminds me of the black one that the twink uses in full metal panic
whats the handheld with the best buttons and dpad? nothing else matters since i just want to play 2D games
>>724156940Its true that every no name brand chinkshit has bad qc. And no money back if you buy their crap. Maybe most people want some assurance that something they buy actually will last them?
>>724157120>triples down
>>724157028I've been researching like a dozen of these things. I probably had it mixed up with that $80 Ayaneo.
>>724156989Now you're just coping.
>>724157157>has no point against what i saidI accept your concession
>>724157114pretty much anything by retroid will get you a playstation vita d-pad (dome switch under rubber membrane) and good rubber contact buttons
>>724156775>They got internet on retirement homes?Of course they do.
>>724157220Thats the truth.
>>724157114The RG Arc, but it has an older chipset and lower resolution screen, so maybe wait for a new refresh of that style to come out.
>>724154672I would have killed for this as a kid. I wonder if you can upgrade the switches and stick. You should play the capcom D&D games, i imagine they would be really fun on a bigger device
>>724157114Too subjective, but my favorite dpads are in order: RP2S (they're all the same for Retroid and share them with Ayn apparently), CubeXX (also on 406H), 28xx (can't recommend it, screen issues), 34xx (tape the contacts in half and it's perfect, a bit on the stiffer side).
>>724155071I played through a good chunk of persona 5 on my retroid 5.
>>724156078i can't believe you actually bought the gamesaar anon lol
>>724157414What version of p5 was it?
>>724156989Friendly reminder my chink device can play more Nintendo games then the Switch can.

>>724157556So does my phone...hey even more on my PC! With no extra cost for recycled phone part devices!
>>724157236>>724157312>>724157371Thanks i will check all of them
>>724157371>34xx (tape the contacts in half and it's perfectFinally someone that understands
>Just use your phone
>>724144362I got the Thor, it's great emulation issues aside. The actual software just works. The Anbernic one is really tempting at that price though>>724144954You can turn off the unused screen at any time though>>724144973>The fact that you can emulate games and multitask with YouTubeYeah so far this works great with PS1 or under games on bottom and watching someone on the top
>>724157770>You can turn off the unused screen at any time thoughYou actually cannot! You may have it confused with the Ayaneo dual screen handheld!
>>724136293>picThey're playing with the overscan uncropped. Resulting in Mega Man looking rather small on screen and a lot of boring space around the edges of the screen. When playing on a handheld it really helps to crop the overscan to get the most size out of the image.
>>724157602Yeah looked it upSo native switch handheld resolution below 800p with 30 below fps?Not optimal.
>>724157982its the switch port, it runs at full speed aside from the typical shader comp stutter. what the fuck do you want dude
I got my Retroid Pocket 5 yesterday, and have been playing Mother 1 (GBA Collection version) all morning and love it.
>>724157070Thanks anon and I'll wait
>>724157924>boring space around the edges of the screen.depends on the game but you should actually disable all overscan cropping on NES and SNES when you integer scale on 4:3 screens. Otherwise you don't get even pixels horizontally and shimmering no matter what you do with interpolation etc.
A chink handheld for 6th gen emulation is not worth it. All of them are based on Android, and Android emulation for PS2 has been discontinued with pletora of issues.If you want decent PS2 emulation without compromises and money isn't a problem, get either a GDP Win 3 or Win 4
>>724158153It could be a retroid pocket 6 instead but last time they revealed 5 and mini simutaeniously which is why I think its possible
>>724157635Your phone doesn't have 1st party games tho
>>724155969I had this and it struggled with fucking mmz
>>724158270It has exclusives
>>724157070>Don't they're probably gonna announce mini 2 on mondayI don't trust retroid anymore. I think the RP5 will be their last truly issue free handheld. The top screen on the thor seems to have pretty bad image retention. they got too cocky
>>724158181Your knowledge is behind the times anon.>non-even pixels horizontallyWith the high resolution screens and shaders available now this is a non-issue>shimmeringshaders fix thisAdditionally, there is now the option for integer overscaling, and with a high resolution screen the amount of lost space is very minimal. So a person *should* actually enable overscan on NES and SNES games most of the time these days.
>>724158369All exclusives you can play on any android device.
>>724157920???
>>724158346They all struggle with games and/or have shit buttonsWhy do you think they are so cheap? Just Because of child labour?
>>724158389I literally said you can't fully address it with interpolation on small screens, you always get shimmer when the resolution and screen size are too low for the actual interpolating effect to work.
>>724158389>Your knowledge is behind the times anon.This is pretty much par for the course for anything on /v/ that has to do with emulation these days. Too many anons who are stuck in a 2010 mindset.
>>724158450Exactly. No neet to buy extra crap for worse experience.
>>724158504I literally explained why shaders and high resolution screens *do* address it. Try reading comprehension.
>>724158463I only read the portion of your post which was directly replying to me. Forgive my stupidity anon-sama.
>>724158463Small legs
>>724158237True, but there is a guy working to finally get PCSX2 on Android proper, ARMSX2. Only time will tell whether this will pan out or if he'll keep going once Google cracks down on everyone.>>724158372You don't "trust" brands, you pick what works. Am I gonna avoid Retroid because every other release of theirs is fucked? No, I'll just do my deep research a good 3 months after the thing is out and get it if it serves me.
>>724158512>>724158389Also if you crop overscan in the core it messes up CRT shaders.
>>724158389On a screen like this you SHOULD crop however, so you can get an integer 4:3
>>724158539So your phone doesn't have exclusives?
>>724158237You have conflated PS2 emulation to be the entirety of sixth generation emulation.Gamecube and Dreamcast emulation work well on android.
>>724158389>>724158698>shaders fix itFuck off we're talking about actual screen resolution and display quirks
>>724158614>I literally explained why shaders and high resolution screens *do* address it. Try reading comprehension.They dont and you're fucking blind if you think they do. retard. fucking waste of time trying to educate you dumb fucks
>>724158698>if you crop overscan in the core it messes up CRT shaders.No it doesn't. I don't know what you did wrong but it's on your end.
>>724158882I would say this is lookin' good yeah
>>724158821Does your off brand handheld?
>>724136293I think I'd rather just get a psvr2 and play roms in a virtual arcade.Legit think it's a great deal especially used right now for an OLED HDR headset.Like look at your pic. See the terrible color accuracy. Who cares about screen size or resolution at that point when the crap quality is so glaringly obvious.
>>724153798Shills didn't like that
>>724158992No, but you said here >>724158369 your phone has exclusives.
>>724158882>>724158910As I said earlier, stuck in 2010. And unwilling to learn anything new because they think they already know everything.
>>724159026Stop replying to yourself phonejeet

>>724159049Yes. It does.Does your handheld?
>>724158698>thinks shader = CRT You're not qualified to post on this subject.
>>724159186>Yes. It does.?Then why did you admit here that the "exclusives" can be played on any android device? >>724158539
ouch!
>>724158181Wait, how are you getting shimmering under integer scaling? Unless there's something wrong with the panel, RA just centers it and works fine.
>>724159303Can your cheap chinkshit run top end android games?
>>724159565Yes
>>724159059integer scale on Y on 640x480 with cropped overscan will always give you overstretched image. Meaning you get shimmer and bad shader scaling no matter what you do. 3.5in 640x480 screens have too high of a PPI for interpolation to be very effective past a certain point. Its better to minimize horizontal stretch. It's not fucking magic you retard.less pixels=more stretch to get 4:3. I gave an example for when cropping is good. Dumb nigger. >>724159474Turns out there's and Y axis AND X axis anon-kun.
Anyone getting the Thor or is out of their price range?
>>724159662yes but it doesn't arrive until monday
>>724144362>not enough specs to run 3DS properly>no Mini-HDMI portWhat a shame.
>>724159598But in reality...no
>>724136293White men dont play on gay handhelds, that is for emascualted asian men and women.Imagine going outside with one of these toys as an adult...sad thing to see
>>724159640You don't know how to properly configure your hardware and software. What you are describing has not been an issue for years and years.Also most new 4:3 screens are 1280x960 or 960x720.
>>724159640I don't get it. Where is the shimmering coming from in that case?
>>724136293Can you please not call me that? It's weirdly derogatory when SJWs use it and I don't like being singled out for my race, I'm just some guy

>>724137323Small screens are soulful
>>724160958No, you actually do not know what you're doing here. You didn't even follow the various anons posts about using overscaling or high resolution screen. And you don't understand how horizontal scaling works with shaders at all.
>>724160948>They're playing with the overscan uncropped. >>724157924Stupid fuck. You specifically were trying to sound smug and now you're moving goal posts. I adreased both in my original post but you just had to be a stupid faggot and force my hand to publicly humiliate you.

>>724136293Retroid pocket 5
>>724161779Do you have small hands?
>>724161779
>>724161652to be honest, I would just go with a Vita. the hardware is fucking amazing, build quality better, and easier to repair. modding a 3DS/2DS allows you to download and play DS and 3DS game but everything else is worse.
1080p is where you SHOULD be overscaling5x240p is really nice
>>724157028>implying the switch isn't a chinkheldanon, i...
>>724162006dont bother with the phonejeet. A Samsung A53 is all he can own so he has to defend it with his life.
>>724161735You're still using Y-scaling, you should be using Y+X scaling.
>>724136293original consoles/handhelds with flash carts and ODEs
>>724162132Also you should then apply a shader after this to eliminate the shimmer effect.
>>724161821I got medium sized hands and have no issues with it for the most part. I'm mostly playing jrpgs, snes/genesis games, ps2 games, and whatever I feel like playing in my steam library. It was kind of surreal replaying dark messiah on this thing because I played it on xbox 360 like 15 fucking years ago.Portable DMC 3 and Bayonetta is something I thought I would never get to experience. It's fucking awesome.
>>724144430ETA Prime fell out of favor due to low quality reviews mostly done to appease sponsors.Is this true? He seemed the least shill-like of all of the chinktubers. Videos were robotic though
>>724162132>>724160520blind retard. There's no way to crop overscan without stretch. No you were not talking about overSCALE, you driveled on about cropping overscan. keep coping faggot. What else?
>>724161416i'm going to buy a chinkheld now, because of (((you)))
>>724162249He gets his information wrong a lot. He also will do clickbait (his Mac Mini M4 review).I still watch him from time to time because his format makes for comparison between devices easy. You know what you want to hear from him and he does it the same way every time. I think other guys are better for Chinkhelds, though.
>>724136293CRT PVM hooked up to mister.
>>724162237You illiterate moron I already said interpolation shaders aren't very effective with high PPI small screens. I'm right, you're wrong. I will continue to enjoy my superior scaling and you'll keep trying to save face.
i'm too cheapskate and poor or is it not worth 200 dollars to pay for a 3DS? Everyone talking about what a great way to invest money, because it will keep getting more expensive... honestly fuck the word "investing". I just saw a recent posts about a dude finding his childhood bionicle and everyone saying what a good investment Bionicle was. Almost nobody talks how cool it was to have robot like legos or that i could rebuild them however i wanted them to be. Nah just how good investment everything it is. Is it weird i want to get the thing to play with it?
>>724154001And you still cannot change the screen brightness without using the touchscreen because it's a shitty tablet with game controls slapped on the sides.>inb4 paid app
>>724144430Anything with a G3x G3 chipset is going to run switch games at native speed and native res. Even harder to run games like Witcher 3 and DQ III HD-2D.
>>724162771>200 dollars to pay for a 3DS?The prices skyrocketed when they stopped being made. Good luck finding one.
>>724162794>y-you can't change the brightness without touching the screen whats why my phone is better!!kek phonejeet
>>724162771Sort-of. A 3DS is a better alternative to most Retroid Pocket Classic and below power handhelds if you don't care about the Sony libraries, but I do hear PS1 emulation works on New 3DS now. It can't really do N64 emulation but has most of the "must-have" N64 ports as native ports, or homebrew ports like Super Mario 64. It runs the DS library with a flashcart or TW DS firmware support (flashcart is preferable and DS flashcarts are still only a couple dollars). It has the proper resistive touchscreen since it's still a DS, which is an enormous plus for DS games. The 3DS library is very good.Get a New 3DS (or New 2DS or New 3DS XL) if you must have one.
>>724162771>invest>in a toythe absolute state. Honestly the 3DS barely has any true exclusives worth playing and they're all emulated well at this point. For $200 an RP5 will play exponentially more games including PS2 and GC.
>>724154382>high endThey're either as expensive as PC handhelds or use outdated chips from several years ago.>Snapdragon even has mesa drivers just like Steam Deck.And yet trying to use Linux with Retroid Pocket 5 was a miserable experience because the sound driver is fucked up and sleep doesn't work properly. Zero progress has been made on fixing those issues since the first build more than a year ago.
>>724162771Based attitude.Use a proxy buying service like buyee, fromjapan, or neokyo and import a used n3DS.
>>724154513For $200 you can also get a Steam Deck.
>>724163012I went through the Vita and 3DS libraries looking for reason to play both systems and the disappointment was unbearable. The GBA, and DS were god tier. The PSP was great. That was a dark era for handheld gaming.The Switch, on the other hand, holy shit.
>>724163125careful the vitatards will come out and tell you how good uhhh soul sacrifice is lmao
>>724163125Handhelds died off that era
I don't actually own a handheld, but I've been researching them a lot. And this discussion of scaling got me interested, because I care a lot about that sort of thing.So I did an experiment.1. Set my desktop monitor to 6480x4802. Run RetroArch3. Set an NES emulator to crop the overscan area.4. Set my scaling setting to both under and overscaleIn both tests I did not see any shimmering effects. As I expected, because why would I? It's being integer scaled. That said, the overscaling was severe on 640x480 set to overscale 224p and thus unplayable. >Integer Y scaling>Smart scalingThese are not options on desktop RA as of the 2024 version I use. But I would assume the Y scaling without X is the issue here.
Why is it so expensive now?
>>724163210I own a Vita. And a 3DSXL. Vita is good if you own one in a vacuum. But then you gotta understand that you can do everything else on it somewhere else but better. Unless you need a dedicated Neptunia portable.
>>724163431>now
Why is the steam deck oled still so expensive if the hardware is so outdated
>>724163012>they're all emulated well at this point.This is my biggest gripe as well. Like i had a 3DS owner laughing at me for emulating it, but when i showed them how good it looks on oled at 4x scaling, he shut up and trying to spin his tale into the two screens talk, then i showed him Thor and just told me there is latency issue (which is true but it's unnoticable unless you play rhytm game and even then most people can deal with it without malding.)I also lowkey considered the second screen bundle and get rp5 as well>>724163039Thanks anon, i keep an eye on these, but i might end up ordering ayn thor if i can't find anything between 50-120 dollars. It's really not worth for me playing used tech that much. I rather just get a new handheld and have the freedom to run whatever i want to.>>724163431because people invest into their collections

>>724163375I did a little more testing.On a 640x480 screen what you want to do, at least for NES games is1. set integer scaling on 2. set 4:3 aspect ratio3. set core options overscan to OFF both X and Y4. load shader "image-adjustments" and set your zoom factor to where you want it to be.This will interpolate the image without shimmering effects or uneven pixels. screenshot attached
well i bidded on a new 3ds ll, i either win it, or just buy the DOW definite edition.
WaitI just assumed NES games flickering at the edge of the screen was just how things were. Devs had to figure out how to scroll sprites on a 4mb cartridge and that's just part of the jank
oh nononono
this is what REAL emulation look like.
>>724165228Nope. That was usually hid by the overscan. But on some televisions you could see a little of it.

>>724164953>you're not wrong but that's just how it is. when funds gamble your retirement money they're screwing you over too.I'm aware of that. That's the worst part of the problem. If even a small number of people is allowed to get away with enriching themselves at the expense of others, that attitude is guaranteed to spread because it's optimal from the individual's point of view. The whole thing needs to crash and burn for people will learn their lesson for some time.
>>724162707You have a misunderstanding of shaders. They're not all dependent on screen resolution or PPI (which should not be an issue on shaders anyway because they redraw the video frame to be whatever your display resolution is). So for a shader that only does interpolation of the image (rather than something like CRT-Royale that needs a lot of resolution to make the effect convincing) you're only missing out by not using them.
I have a GPD XD but I barely use it.My laptop, my phone is all I need. Sometime my XPpen magicpad (yeah, a tablet meant for drawing) is far enough, with my 8bitdo neogeo cd for the controller.

>>724166534to be fair the zero 28 is the single best 2.8in device
>>724155969I have one of those. It was nice, until I dropped it and its screen went on the fritz. I don't even want to throw it away, I'd like to just replace the screen. It is funny how the screen alone is being sold for almost as much as the entire device.
>>724167582for $20 you might as well buy a batlexp g350
>>724161909I emulate NES/SNES on 3ds and they look quite good on it I think, but the hard little dpad and its placement actually hurts. It's too bad nintendo stopped caring about good d-pads for a long time now.
>>724169316I miss the days of these cool custom GUI emulators.
want to buy a new chinkheld but there's too many fucking choices
>>724165037the pixels are clearly uneven though

>>724165037That looks disgusting, sharp-shimmerless handles it better.
>>724170628Aaaand I don't know why RA botchered the resolution I clearly specified, but you get it.
>>724170478which model is this? I want to play the Final Fantasy PS1 games
>>724170478I would if they hadn't killed our lord and savior RP2S. Even had an inferior metal version for your needs.
>>724170082That's what you need higher resolution for.
>>724170082You are correct. I should have only said it would have no shimmering effect. To get rid of the uneven pixels you'll need to do a more severe manipulation of the image such as bilinear filtering, which will result in softness.
>>724170628Right, I had integer scale on, my bad.
>>724136293For me, it's the Ayaneo Pocket Air Mini
>>724171294you don't tho>>724171740a proper interpolation method doesn't add much softness at all
>>724170478based mipsGOD
>>724171815Yeah I just tried it and it does a better job than image-adjustment. It has a linear filtering pass that image-adjustment does not, so it fixes the uneven pixels. However, it does add a tad bit of softness to the image. Really, this is an issue that bilinear filtering fixed ages and ages ago. But most people have that turned off and I bet that anon who wa raging over it never bothered to try turning it on, or they hate the inherent softness of it.
>>724171830that dpad looks vile
>>724155969>>724158346watch out for fake R36S clones, fakes ones aren't able to even run N64, DS or even 3D GBA gameshttps://handhelds.wiki/R36S_ClonesIMO buy either R36H or R36T which aren't cloned, or instead buy either a Battlexp G350 or an Anbernic RG35XX H or Pro
>>724163431Just get the bigger version bro
>>724159793>>not enough specs to run 3DS properlyI mean it's not really the specs that make the 3ds impossible to emulate, it's the lack of a proper emulator.
>>724159793You have to wait for the RG 3DS obviously
>>724170856Filename
>>724151145What the FUCK
>>724136293My RP5.I just got all Lego games from the PS2 era and looking forward to the comfy.
>>724170478>no wifiI ain't putting an SD card into a computer
>>724136293I like my Miyoo Mini Plus
I will never buy a chinkheld. Chink shills can kiss my ass
>>724136381>>724153053Buy it ah!! We suppolt PS2 an Gamecube game witout downcroking, maybe jus few haldware levision okay la! I swea!
