RETROID POCKET 6>5'5 inch screen>Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 (3.2Ghz)>$279/$209 early birdIt looks like the RP series is taking over the Odin 2 Mini form factor (i.e. Vita shape), so you could also call this the Odin 3 Mini. The original RP form factor will still continue but as the regular Odin series now.
RP5 vs Odin 3 form comparison
>>724289615Is this stronger than the Odin 2 Mini?
Can it run arm based Linux similar to rp5?
>>724289680Yes it is. It has the same chipset as the Ayn Thor/Odin 3.RP5 had a few problems with PS2 and GameCube but RP6 should have no problems now and it's even smaller while keeping the same screen size.
>>724289615Chinkshit advertisement thread
>>724289851All the Retroid/Ayn products allow for Linux dual booting. No reason this shouldn't.
Holy shit i thought these faggots were talking about a new vita but theyre for some reason talking about an emulator that isnt their computer or phone like retards
>>724290023go take a nap, youre cranky nintodler
100% organic thread with 100% organic replies
>>724289863>>724289680How significant is that boost?I can already play Switch games without much issue. Would it just run those games better or what?
>>724290514It should theoretically enhance your framerates and increase resolution mulutpliers. The RP5 as it is now is no way a perfect Switch emulation machine.
>>724289615>Odin 2 Mini form factorAh, so it'll have shit thermals and overheat faster due to poor ventilation?
Anons can cry about it as much as they like, but these things are a major part of the gaming market now, and will be for the foreseeable future.
>>724291423They are the future of gaming. 10 years from now this form factor (handheld, non-proprietary) will be the default gaming device in the world.
>>724289615is it oled? if not hard pass I'm not using a 20 year old screen technology
>>724289615why does it have the nintendo button layout?
>>724291918Because that's the standard video gaming button layout.
>>724292537not in this reality it isnt
can i turn it into a steam machine?
>>724292579Best selling video game device in the world uses it, therefore it is the default.
>>724289615doesn't run windows, not really worth upgrading from a vita
>>724292627No, it's using Android 13.
>>724292650outside of this device, nintendo is the only company to use that layout, so no, it isnt the default
>>724289615Motherfuckers abandoned the Vita because it sold for $200 dollars and are now buying chinkshit for $800 instead.

>>724292762Nintendo is the #1 gaming company in the world, and sets the standard.
>>724292904maybe in 2030s I can play modded skyrim on a vita sized handheld
>>724293009that hasnt been true since the snes days. you know, when many companies jump ship to make games for the untrested sony? burned them so bad that two generations later they wouldnt even try competing on a technological level anymore and now we have them putting out stuff like ZA. they still sell units, but the stink is still on them
What is this thing like? I don't think I've heard a single person talk about it since it was announced however many years ago.
>>724293258Pointless
>>724289615/v/ is totally not just a bunch of Chink shills, btw.

>>724293597what's the best selling console of this generation, again?
>>724293891what numbers did the wii u do?whats the best looking game on the switch compared to its competition?
>>724290472
>>724289615For me, it's the Pocket Fit. If you don't care about OLED or dual screens, this is the handheld to get at that price range.
>>724293959>what numbers did the wii u do?The Wii U was discontinued 8 years ago. How long are you going to cling to the past?>whats the best looking game on the switch compared to its competition?You think graphics still mattter? lmao
for me, it's the Odin 2. everything you need to emulate up to switch (not that i ever would) while still having good form factor.
>>724294175If it's larger than the Vita it's not worth it.
>>724294175>not that i ever wouldSo why did you get it if you don't need all that power?
>>724289615How is this a "next gen vita" if it isn't actually a PSP at all?its just a knock off handheld PC, which a million of them exist, and not using a trashy mobile core with a dogshit screen
>>724294051that isn't even your picture, it has a watermark right there on ittry a little harder next time jeetshill-san

>>724292762>>724293203>nintendo is the only company to use that layoutWe all know this is true. Why are you arguing with a Chink? The creature's only purpose is to burry criticism. It will not compromise unless you say it won.
>>724294051I do care about oled.
>>724289615>>724289658>>724289965Steam Deck makes all of these chinkdevices obsolete
>>724295067I would've bought a Steam Deck by now if it was the size of the Vita
>>724294051>name their product pocket fit>it doesn't actually fit in your pocket
>>724293258>What is this thing like?it was treated as a joke when it came out but oddly enough it was very well received. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftiBJKcxgH8
>>724295317That's just exactly what Steam Link does except you can use just about any device.
>>724289615Hardware is nice, but I despise Android. Until one of these chinkhelds has a legitimately good OS running on it, I won't buy them
>>724295067These chink devices emulate better than the Deck now.
>>724294161the wii u is a black eye akin to the ps3 and xbox one. coming off a high just to end up in the shit that for some reason the fanboys like to skip overand of course graphics matter. they have always mattered. people wouldnt be bitching about the technical limitations of their current hardware if graphics didnt matter. nintendo makes a workaround, but lately theyre always running on hardwar from a generation ago>>724294883im bored to be honest
With all the iterations they pump out, in a few years I'll be able to get my perfect little low powered windows handheld that I can play all my mmos from bed on. Thank you consoomers.
>>724295539KEK they absolutely don't, shill
>next gen ps vitaholy shit nic->chink handheld:/
>>724295901Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 has higher per-core performance compared to Zen2.Android is also a lot more optimized and less bloated than Steam OS.
Goes to show how big phone manufacturers’ profit margins are. I rarely play on portable but for $209 it’s tempting.
>>724289851RP5 can't run Linux well. Yes it runs and has GPU acceleration, but other issues will make you not want to use it.
>>724296024Sure bro. Show me the game benchmarks.Tldr: Steam Deck is better and it's not even close
>>724293203>that hasnt been true since the snes daysWhat alternate universe are you from?
>>724297104>snestop of the line graphically. beats all of its contemprary rivals>n64came into the game as the big dog against sony(untested as a console company) and sega(about to implode due to infighting and poor decision making). tried to use their weight to strongarm other companies into paying cartridge rental fees on top of the capacity of them being lower than cds. many 3rd partieswould eventually jump ship, including square. ends up coming in second place in most regions and 3rd in japan>gamecubethe last nintendo console that tried to compete with hardware, but was so afraid of piracy they used a different disc based format instead of dvds sold so poorly that it had crazy price drops>wiigiving up chasing graphics, ninty embraced gimmicks with this one. which worked out well for them even coming in at first that gen, but the damage had been done>wiiu tried again with the gimmicks, but with the terrible naming scheme and looking like a tablet add on instead of a whole new console, it confused a lot of of people and ended up selling so poorly that they ended the consoles run early>switchconsolidating the console and mobile divisions into one. coming off the previous failure they had, the new gimmick was very successful. but the problem from previous consoles still persisted. they werent getting ports on par with its competition because the hardware was so weaknow where is the alternate universe? what standards have they set?
>>724298325Are you mentally ill?
>>724292840Sony kept it on life support for years because the tiny userbase was still buying their games on the store. Heck, the store is still online to this day.
>>724295067Obsolete? I can't stick a cinderblock in my pocket. You are comparing Joe Louis to Johnny Kilbane as if that makes any sense.

>early birdI'll pass and wait on a sale on the non-beta hardware, after others figure out the problems with the v1 hardware.If I can play Android-ass Android games on it no issue, that'll be enough for me.
>>724296891Coming from one of the few modders left from the total community, I'm afraid to tell you, anon is right.That said, he's right on what is consider the cutoff point.SDG2 manages 20-25 FPS averages, at least on red magic devices, gaming oriented phones.G3 manages only to be slightly better, quite a disappointment. We were expecting framerates in the 40s, but they're mid 30s at best, and more like 25-30 FPS most of the time, especially in CPU bound areas such as Lookout Landing.Personally, I'm entirely on board the ARM hypetrain.Native code execution is going to be the single most important facet of emulation, and, unless you're running an arm chip, that won't be possible.I'm sure you absolutely hate taking me at my word, so, feel free to join the way of the winds discord, and take a look at our benchmarking section yourself.If you feel your hardware is missing, then please, don't hesitate to benchmark it and upload the results!That said, the deck doesn't seem to pull much more than 15-20 FPS in our benchmarks. Its mostly held back by the zen 2 CPU.
>>724299551Can you run PC games on the Snapshit? No?Shut the fuck up then
>>724300648What, like I'm doing here?It runs cyberpunk 2077 too, 720p 30 FPS at medium/lowSurprisingly on par with the steam deck, Winlator really has improved massively since it's inception.
>>724300648Retard
>>724292787Can't abandon what I never picked up. No games. >>724295539Not even remotely close to parity, let alone beating it. >>724296024>Android is also a lot more optimized and less bloated than Steam OS.lmao, what the fuck, not even Google employees would claim something so absurd.
>>724301225You're so fucking retarded it hurts.Android runs on devices as slow as a smartwatch with days of battery life, while Steam OS fucking lags on a steam deck, a device specifically made for it.
Wake me up when a dual screen clamshell linux handheld arrives
>>724301509lmao, imbecile.
>>724301607Thanks for admitting defeat, valvefag
>>724290023phone emulation sucks. it mechanically works, but touchscreen controls feel horrible and phone controllers are aids with bad input delay or require you to remove your case for usb-c/lightning compatibility. also, once android fucks over sideloading, good luck with getting all your emulators. most of the big ones are out there, but i doubt switch emulators will stay up forever.
>>724289894They have 2 threads on /vr/ constantly and are now spreading to /g/ with the headphone general. The controller threads we were having for a while are obviously shills too AND those "I just got a 3ds" threads where within 10 posts they advertise some chinkshit handheld. When 4chan is 95% marketing threads who the fuck are they marketing to?
RPF3 when
Gay bait thread, but let me tell you what makes a good portable gaming device>Ability to fit in one's pocket>To be totally silent>Have proper batteryPs vita might be weaker, but checks these two things. The battery life is also decent. Those devices that you shilling are handhelds since they dont fit in one's pocket, and also feature a noisy fan as a cooling solution.If I were to buy a portable gaming console, I would still buy a ps vita, since it still holds up and has an active community that ports stuff to it very frequently. Also, if I want to go pure battery, I would buy a psp instead. And If I were to buy a handheld, I would rather buy a big boy handheld like Steam deck or Asus Rog, instead these things
>>724289615PS VITA GIGACHAD EDITION>PS5 Pro performance >Requires a laptop battery to function with less 1 hr battery life at 55 watts or just plugged into the wall>Battery might explode with a power of a box of TNT>1800 USD
>>724302760most chinkhelds has like 15+ hours of gaming if you're emulating 2d shit
>>724302961This thing is 1800USD with performance of a PS5 Pro with 1 hr battery life with a detachable laptop battery with more energy inside of it than 8 boxes of TNT
>>724302642you mean the thor?
>>724289615>chink handheld with the analogue sticks in the right place>it's even PSP shapedClose enough. I'm sure someone will sell button replacements, too.
>>724289965Mesa on Snapdragon fucking sucks. You'll have tons of stuttering on Rocknix and bad framepacing.
>>724302995yea, that's an x86 machine, most chinkhelds are ARM devices, what's your point???
This thing will be a hard sell when Ayn Odin 3 is basically that but with a larger battery and S8 Elite.The display size difference is miniscule, it's hardly more portable.
>>724302760You can toggle the fan, it's gonna be as shit as a phone with thermal throttling, but it'll be silent. As for pocketability, nothing with sticks is pocketable no matter what cope you're on, so unless we're talking clamshells this is a non-argument. >>724303163Retroid will always have a selling point while Ayn (same company btw) misplaces sticks and d-pads. That and it's $100 off or more while being plenty for what most people are here for, PS2 and GC, while S8 Elite got issues with certain software (N64) and the extra power will only be used by gachafags and idiots settling for shoddy Switch and dysfunctional Wine/Proton.
>>724289965>All the Retroid/Ayn products allow for Linux dual booting. No reason this shouldn't.False, chip by chip case. 8Gen2 has Linux support.
>>724303480PS2 emulation suffers from some things being unsupported on Adreno GPUs. For example Armored Core 3 doesn't run full speed on Pocket 5 with full hardware readback from GS. And this will also be true for "better" supported chips like S865 and 8G2. N64 emulation is a mess and doesn't work properly on any platform no idea why you even bring it back. Multiple N64 games have decomps and native ports for Android. Outside of them you'll struggling to find TEN games on N64 anyone wants to play. N64 library was anemic. N64 compatibility is a non-factor for even emulation snobs who just go with a mister or analogue instead.
>>724303983RP5 is 865, did you mean RP4P? >N64 emulation is a mess and doesn't work properly on any platform no idea why you even bring it back.Because Mupen is literally not booting on that Snapdragon.
will only buy if its pre installed with every switch game and every gen below it
form factor looks like absolute chink garbage, will wait for RP7 where hopefully they finally make a sleek device, although at this rate of increasing curvature it will just be a fucking circle
>>724303480>As for pocketability, nothing with sticks is pocketablePs vita is pocketable. I have tried it. The sticks do feel a bit uncomfortable, but you can carry it around.Psp and gba SP are probably the only consoles tharmt were made with pockets in mind
>>724305197No, busting sticks until they break is not acceptable.
>>724300980I wanted to get some small linux handheld for portmaster for when I don't want to carry Deck around and just put something in my pocket but might pick up an android one if it can emulate everything PC. Will these be affected by upcoming Google fuckery?
>>724305370Yes and no, you'll certainly feel the mass dev exodus but chinkhelds will never get updated enact these changes. And mind you x86 emulation is unreliable crap on Android unless you have very specific, tested, low end games in mind.
>>724289615>new Retroid Pocket announced>it's actually another full-glass RP5 sidegrade
>>724305574So what I'm hearing is stick with getting a linux device.
I almost bought a flip 2 but don't like how chunky it is and how loud the fan gets. I'm kinda hoping for a flip 3 that's basically a thor with more comfortable stick/button placement instead of a second screen.
>>724305258Sticks feel uncomfortable, but they wont break. The trick is to have vita's front side facing in the opposite direction related to your thigh. They will only protruding a bit.>T. used to carry my vita in my pockets during my college years and the vita still works
>>724305889Yes, but keep your expectations in check about those too, they're very slow. You could also get one of those high priced chinkhelds with Rocknix (Linux) support (RP5, Mini v2, RP6 eventually) for Portmaster but the problem is 99,7% of these games were picked to run on $50 shitboxes. Out of the games I tried I can only think of SRB2Kart and the 6th gen era shooters like Jedi Academy benefitting from the performance jump.
>>724305574Don't you have to log in with a google account to just use the playstore for updates and shit? Or do they ship their own stores?I guess for someone its a plus, be just seeing that chrome icon on the retroid screenshots makes me want to throw it in the trash.
>>724306275No login required, nor should you ever enter your credentials in chinkhelds at all. You can bypass Play Store entirely with Aurora Store and its anonymous account, plus F-Droid and its forks (I prefer Droid-ify) for freetard software and Obtainium to download and update github/etc releases. Come 2026 when Google starts demanding ID from devs, who knows. >>724306184Still straining them is my problem.
>>724306241I want to play old games, the point was Android running ANY old game and not just what's available on portmaster.
>>724306502Its a valid concern, since vitas tend to get stick drift. Thankfully mine didnt get one, but it might get in the future. I still dont understand why they didnt used psp style flat sticks? they work perfectly
>>724306617Then you get a Deck, really. Winlator, Gamehub, whatever the fuck else kids are using to run botched Wine and Proton, these are little more than proof of concept at this point.
>>724293258I sold this thing after using it once, LMAO (I got it in a bundle with a PS5 and a DualSense Edge).Useless. It's essentially a "Wii U GamePad" for your PS5.
>>724289615Does it come with a touchscreen and a rear touch pad?No?Then it can't play Vita games.
>>724289965this isn't for the company to decide, it depends on compatibility which is dependent how new and well documented a chip is.>Aynlol>>724295067different usecase and usually way cheaper>>724295446Most cheaper chinkhelds come with Linux and let you install Knulli/Rocknix/muOS. If you want to play up to Vita/PS2/GC/Wii get a Retroid 5. That's the most you should spend on a handheld anyway.
>>724306726>Does it come with a touchscreenYes.>and a rear touch pad?Some chinkhelds do actually, like the AYN Odin.>Then it can't play Vita games.It can thougheverbeit. Look up Vita3K videos on YT.
>>724289615>$279/$209 early bird$279? That's just a 20 dollars difference with the $299 model of the AYN Thor which has 2 screens instead of just 1 and the same CPU.I don't know chief. The RP6 doesn't sound like a good deal in comparison to me.If they released it at around $250 then it would definitely be a much better deal though desu.
>>724289615>NEXT GEN PS VITA ANNOUNCED>Garbo android chinkheld
>>724307448OP actually got it wrong by $20, but I still think extra 4GB RAM is dumb for $60.
>>724299551>join our discord for benchmarks ;^)kek you shills have no shame
>>724301859>When 4chan is 95% marketing threads who the fuck are they marketing to?Lurkers
>>724307692This chinkheld can run anything except PS3 and PS4 games, Retard-chan.Even certain PC games like GameHub.Your Shita is worthless. Always has been tbdesu.
I think it looks alright, I'd like to see real photos of it first. My current chinkshit can't do n64 and above very well. I almost got an odin 2 mini simply because I liked the design but I heard the screen sucked, so this might be a good middle ground.
>>724308225What's with people like this guy that do not buy one chinkshit device but MULTIPLE even. How much electronic garbage can one person gobble up until he asks himself>maybe I should stop buying this trash?
>>724298696And your phone is far worse than it. Zero cooling so thermal throttle city slower then Nintendo switch, no mesa drivers, and full of carrier Samsung bloat.>>724289615No 120hz is a lame. I'll be sticking with my portal.
>>724308451lmao, Retroid really fucked up this reveal. RP6 has 120hz, it's the RP5 refresh that doesn't.
>>724308515My bad I relooked and the Pocket 6 does have 120hz OLED. It's the G2 that's 60hz.Still, it has worse battery and they downgraded the storage space. My portal pro has 512gb their pro is only 256. Sure you can upgrade with SD card but some things only care for internal.
>>724308887What's the portalThat ugly sony thing?
>>724289615Can it play PSP Vita games?
>>724294175>for me, it's the Odin 2. everything you need to emulate up to switch (not that i ever would)Can it truly emulate the Switch and the Vita?
>>724307798these price upgrades are just marketingEither the target price was +60 and they just wanted to catch your attention with the cheaper price or the upgrade is mostly useless >>724308887Do these devices come with actual internal memory? I like that those cheap Anbernic devices read everything from SD card, making it easy to flash the system, or try different distros
>>724290514>>724290824What about Switch 2 emulation?
>>724310110Switch emulation is dead and vita3k is slowly moving along.
>>724301859Take good care of your 3DS. I found one of mine with a bulging battery the other day.
>>724290023Who the fuck would even want a new real vita?Consoleshit is an outdated concept, a new vita would feature:>paid online>2~3 exclusives>some random cancerous bullshit like proprietary memory cards because of (((reasons)))>100% dependant on getting dedicated ports instead of running what simply already exists on PC>is a brick until it gets hackedShitendo only gets away with it because the switch is their only system. Why the fuck would Sony compete with their PS5 when they can barely release exclusives for one single piece hardware?
>>724310025This thing. AYN Odin 2 Portal. It can play pretty much everything. Emulation, local 120hz HDR streaming, Windows/Linux shit up to DMC5.>>724310164Yes it comes with internal storage like Android + SD card slot. But not every app likes the SD card slot, it's a Android thing. If you switch to Linux then it's not really a problem.>>724310243Switch emulation is fully alive under different forks. Everyone on Android uses Eden. If you're even cooler you can use Mesa drivers just like AMD bros get better emulation perf.>>724310218Switch 2 isn't cracked and probably won't ever be. It looked down tighter than PS5 Pro.
>>724310110There's a lot of videos online showing switch/vita emulation on these devices. Granted a lot of them are running older switch emulators from when the device first dropped, but you get the gist. Switch emulation in general seems really iffy, hard to pinpoint where the devices faulter through RAM usage, etc. and where the emulator is holding things up.
>>724289615holy kino, if you're not shiling then im interested..headphone jack?
>>724307692It runs Vita games better than a real Vita. Just like Thor runs 3DS games better than a New 3DS XL.

>>724301789>phone emulation sucksyeah and these chinkshit are just phones
>>724298548Why the fuck would I need to stick it in my pocket? I'm not a kid anymore. If I want to play games outside of my house I put it in its case and maybe stick it in a bag.
>>724313529not quite. phones have locked bootloaders. these are unlocked usually so you can install linux for example. second phones lack cooling or any performance features they just throttle and crash from bad drivers. third they're loaded with bloatware from the carrier or oem that you cannot remove without a factory reset (which deletes all your data but still keeps the bloat).
>>724313140Yeah Bluetooth LE barely drains energy. I prefer wireless now just because the range is huge. Vita bluetooth range sucked it got garbage once you move to say the kitchen. With latest bluetooth you can go outside of your house to take out the trash and still hear it perfect.
