I love dual screen handhelds, but it’s just not the same anymore when software isn’t built around it. If I’m going to play a game on dual screens, I’d rather have it slap the map, weapon loadout, or menus on the bottom screen so I can have a HUD free view on the upper screen. Without that, they’re just two phones stacked together.
>>727648910you will use it twice and then shove it in drawer
>>727650160>phone screen textureWhat that means? Lagdroid problems?
>>727650713it's a device trying to evoke memories of the 3DS which had different screens, when you touched a 3DS screen and it responded, it felt different. This will just feel like a touch screen on a phone. People play emulators on their phones and it's not quite the same tactile feeling
do you guys really need to play games every waking moment away from your desk?
>>727648910No stylus or resistive screen, no buy
>>727648910Same company
>>727650713>what that means?SAAR...
>>727648910I will only convince you to buy the most expensive model. It's cheaper to upgrade from 256 to 1TB than it is to buy a 1TB microsd right now. I'm dreading the email asking my to pony up another $100.
>>727648910Screen latencyAll-glass surfacesCapacitive touchscreen instead of resistive like the original (3)DS
>>727652119Oh and also get the cheap "4PX" shipping. It takes a couple weeks to arrive but they lie about the value and you won't pay import fees (maybe).
>>727648910too bigwake me up when its the exact size of a 3ds
>>727650686Fuck you. Asshole. Fuck you.>>727650865This is tendiefag cope. There's input lag due to latency, yes, but resistive screens are objectively inferior in every way. If they used resistive screens there would still be input lag but they would also be imprecise and need a stylus.
>>727652278>$429 plus shippingThat's bordering on Steam Deck pricing. Is it really worth it?
>>727648910might as well before RAM prices fuck everything
>>727652449>imprecisewhat does this even mean in the context of a DS or 3DS that doesn't need precision input and didn't have it on original hardware
>>727652484Look up price of microsd, you tell me. Also it'll be internal storage so much faster. Also also, more RAM. Important for emulating PC games. I got the expensive one because it was the only logical choice.
>>727650440maybe for your womanly paws
>>727652723I mean a finger on a resistive screen (because fuck styluses) versus a finger on a capacitive screen.
>>727652791Actually I prefer steam decks
>>727652834>(because fuck styluses)
>>727649803Looks like the AYN Thor, though I don't care too much about the DS chinkhelds because playing DS games on a capacitive screen is like pulling teeth.>>727648910The bottom screen is capacitive instead of resistive, which sucks. Plus dual screen support on Android emulators is still kinda iffy.Also>another fucking full-glass chinkheldFuck no, China. Stop this shit. Full glass is the only reason I don't give a singular fuck about the RP5/6 and why I'm still sitting on a 406H instead of jumping to something stronger, every damn company's been using full-glass fronts as the "premium option", which is just bullshit.
>>727648910M-con mogs most of these anbernic type devices useability wise. Waiting to get one once they're more available so I can use moonlight to cast games and use my phone for anything retro
>>727650160>$500no fucking way
>>727653575got one in the 6000s, hoping to get my kickstarter backing in the mail before christmas, if not then then before the end of year
>>727650340It's almost exactly the same size as a 3ds xl, it's less than third of an inch taller while
>>727650160>>fingerprint magnetThis has and will always be the biggest non-argument
Why would I buy this piece of junk when I can get a New 3DS XL and play games natively without emulating them, AND I can use my extensive collection of carts?
I got the retroid pocket mini v2. pretty much i got the end game device.
>>727653884Because it plays everything, not just up to 3DS, and in 1080p instead of 400x240. I'm still keeping my 3DSes but only because I'm greedy and don't want anyone else to have them.
Can't, it's great
>>727654090>Because it plays everything, not just up to 3DSSo does the 3DS.>and in 1080pOn that tiny-ass screen? You fucking kidding me?
>>727654172Show me the 3DS playing a Sega Saturn game.
>>727648910steamos for arm isn't out yet and we don't know if the thor will be compatible
>>727654650SD8 Gen 3 is their first target platform and it's just an iteration on SD8 Gen 2 Thor uses
>>727648910You'll play it for a month and then put it on your shelf to die just like your 3DS, Vita, and Switch.
>Chinese device with hingesI want to buy one but they ALL have hinge issues, it's a matter of when, not if>>727654172>plays everything up to the 3dsWait the 3ds can play ps2 games?
>>727649803Ching Chong Ping Pong Lucky Go Max X6
>>727655056>3ds, vita, switchHmm, I played the 3ds like 3 months ago for fire emblem fates, and the switch literally today for prime 4. You're right though I haven't played the vita in like 3 or 4 years lol
>>727655056I only did that with the Switch though.
>>727648910UncomfortableOverpriced The one good color scheme looks like ass in personDoesn't run SteamOS for ARM (seriously wait 6 months and it will be here for chinkhelds).
>>727651117i've never taken any of my portable consoles outside of my house, I just really like playing in bed. retro games also look better when they're not stretched over a massive high res monitor.
>>727653884>Why would I buy this piece of junk when I can get a New 3DS XL>he doesn't knowAnon I'm so sorry. Check the prices on New 3DS XL. This is cheaper.
>>727649950rip mcnuttmy sincere respects to one of the most insane an hero video stars
>>727648910I'm waiting for the RP6. The ds form factor is uncomfortable to hold for long, and the emulator touch input lag is supposedly pretty bad. I would probably only get the Thor if I was super into jrpgs, because that's the strong suit of the ds/3ds libraries.RP6 has a similar OLED 120hz screen, comes in some much nicer colors, and runs a bit cheaper.
>>727659575>is supposedly pretty bad.I keep seeing this and vid related but on my own it's far from being that bad
>>727659909That whole video is disingenuous anyways because nobody in their right mind would play phantom hourglass without the D-pad+button controls patch
>>727659909There's videos of them playing sonic on it were it's very visibly tearing between the screens, it's probably okay if you're only going to play slow jrpgs but it's hardly ideal.
>>727654090Problem is the emulator barely plays half of all 3DS games so nice going you shill faggot
>>727654379Show me your chinkheld playing upscaled Saturn games.
>>727660804The only game I've had issues so far is Sengan Kagura Burst and that plays like shit on the original hardware too
>>727648910>>plays everythingso does any phone
>>727661265To be fair, these chinkhelds are made from factory rejected phone/tablet parts so...
>>727661265Yeah, but...um...
>>727655232Thats the x5 model actually.
>>727661265>Overheats and kills your battery
>>727648910have pcdownload emulatordownload isoplayrepeat for mobile
>>727661718*x5 g2
>>727661161Which is funny because the PC remake runs better
>>727648910>plays everythingwith half a second of input lag. The screens aren't the right resolution for DS games, either.
>>727660804Yeah honestly fair point, 3DS emulation is still a bit rough, but that's the case on any platform. Still, plays most 3DS stuff that matters and plays basically everything else handheld/console that matters, and even plays Windows games in increasing numbers day by day.The thing I was waiting for was solid GameCube/Wii emulation on a handheld, and this not only does that it also does DS and 3DS.If you haven't been keeping up, the reason people are shilling this so much is we've largely been stuck playing "up to PS1" on chinaman handhelds for like 5 years unless you wanted to go super-super expensive and even then the hardware quality and user experience was kinda shit. It seems like with Thor they really hit a perfect sweet spot, and it uses Android so there's a lot of freedom in what you run on it. Plus it's not some trash SOC either, it's a legit Snapdragon. A couple generations behind, sure, but that's not the end of the world.
>>727662627It has more input lag than native but it's not "half a second"
>>727648910It plays og xbox games?
>>727653632its 350, anon is looking at the one that inserts a 2tb ssd in your rectum every time you play.
Android is just a shitty platform, it doesn't matter how much things improve they are all far from being close to what proper PC software can doYeah, you can "run" PS2 games in most of those chinkhelds until you run into shit like Sly games, that require a specific fork version to run properly that you can't install without uninstalling the current version that works for every other game, let alone say stuff like CEMU and Dolphin that run okay but are outdated and way behind the current mainline versionSo at the end of the day more than being the ultimate console they're just an okay device where you gain some things over original hardware but lose others
>>727663228Sly games run fine on Odin 3. The problem is the input lag. Emulation causes unavoidable input lag and Android seems to as well since it's always worse on Android.
>>727663228SteamOS for ARM will be out in 3 months anon and revolutionize chinkhelds forever. A proper linux distro with perfect x86 emulation.
So how's GameNative on these things?
>>727663352They run fine, yes, if you do what I just said>Input lagOn PC it can be as low as like a couple of extra frames of lag which to any non autistic fuck is more than good enoughAs I said, these things aren't perfect but they're serviceable and if that's also good enough for you then great, but they aren't the final solution to hand-held gaming
>>727663489Don't kid yourself, that won't be viable until several years from now
I kinda want one but I already have a 28" CRT TV and 10 consoles
>>727648910This thing screams "late 00s". Give me one with a x86-64 cpu so I can slap KDE Plasma with a Windows 7 theme
>>727662906>$200>super-super expensive
>>727648910Unless you want to play specifically 3DS games, I'd recommend getting the Odin 2.Or the Odin Portal if you want a bigger screen.Or the Odin 3 if you think drivers are going to get seriously better.
>>727651365Not the same company btw
>>727659909I tried this with mine, it's not perfect but it's far better than in that video where he moves far slower than necessary. It's not enough to make it unplayable, at least for me.
>>727654172>So does the 3DSNigga this shit plays Switch games.
you already have a better one in your pocket
>>727664708No, I'm just happy to see you.
>>727660512I played it on native hardware with no patches like a real man. great game.
>>727660624>There's videos of them playing sonic on it were it's very visibly tearing between the screensThat's the RGDS from a 40hz idle mode kicking in from lack of touch which, supposedly, has been fixed. Thing's pretty shit regardless though. And this is unreliable hinge wise as well. Still, if you want your 30 seconds of 3DS you should get one without thinking before the RAM jew takes down the entire chinkheld market, there won't be a revision any time soon.
>>727664825go to bed, grandpa
>>727648910so why get this when I can get a 3ds xl for cheaper and just hack it anyways?
>>727664912okay unc how's ur knee holding up?
Asymmetrical layout sucks monkey balls for 90% of the stuff you'd play on this.
>>727664946>before the RAM jew takes down the entire chinkheld marketI hadn't thought about this tbqh, shit is getting fucked for gaming in all fronts
>>727665089It has an arrow but it's healing.
>>727665117It's primarily for 6th gen and up, retro troon.
>>727648910Might as well.
>>727664708Bluetooth adds latency no?
>>727666237Typically but it's so miniscule you wouldn't ever notice; something's dangerously wrong with your controller if there's notable input latency. Even on super cheap controllers and phone controllers this shit should just werk.
>>727666402Personally, I'd still rather have a device with active cooling for emulating higher-end stuff.
>>727666402I bought two 8bitdo controllers, because everyone says they're the best (and I hate the dpad on the switch pro controller) and they are both unusable. The input lag is insane. I don't know how people use these things without going insane, let alone recommend them.One of the two controllers even came with a 2.4Ghz "low latency" wireless dongle (probably because they know Bluetooth sucks) and while it's better and actually usable, there's still noticable input lag compared to just the standard Switch controller.
>>727648910The A button is in the wrong spot, and before you reply, Nintendo also put the A button in the wrong spot, so no, two wrongs do not make a right.
>>727663489Gamehub already exists
>>727649950>>nintendo switch joycon tier sticksDid they really put self-destructing potentiometers in there? Lmao.
