Admit it: this looks more appealing than using a Deck.
>>740064236
>>740064272
Yes but the letterboxing is atrocious and i'd rather have 1 device that does it all
Please stop bragging about decrepit hardware running inferior in-house emulators you can't even scale to the screen's edges without destroying the image. Also glass fronts. And circle pads. And horrible, horrible speakers.When you're done scalping zoomies with these, I'll see on you on this decade.
>>740064236not on the shita thats for sure, i can plug my psp into my crt, can yours do that?
>>740064236The Steamdeck isn't a handheld, it's a tablet with buttons
>>740064236Sorry but I don't have baby hands.
larper thread
>>740064236both are terrible ways that get you hand cramps if you are at over the age of 10
>>740064236>another trannellian who opens up a handheld just to take a screenshot for social media, and never actually play the game
>>740064236>What is the best way to play PS1 games?I wonder
>>740064236RETVRN TO TRUE PORTABLE HANDHLEDS
I don't remember the 3ds ps1 emulator being worth using. It was just kind of a cool boundary pushing exercise
>>740064236that looks retarded though.either get a steam deck or a changheld that actually scales properly. these first party memes are genuinely terrible for emulation.
>>740064535What does "larper" mean in this context? Is it the same as "poseur"?
>>740064236Neither have L2/R2. Touchscreen buttons are phone gaming tier.
>>740064891first part has better build quality compared to chink heldsmost chink helds have terrible feeling buttons, dpads and ergonomics
>>740065003no
>>740065043yes first part hand helds are above chink emu quality.
>>740064432It's kinda weird how old hardware got cheap once a new gen released.Now even the 3DS skyrocketed in price. It's not like it's an old collectors item, there are a shitload of them.DSi are cheap, I wonder when those fat manchildren will buy up those.
>>740065003Chinkhelds have way better ergonomics than a psp or psvita if you're above 18 years old
>>740065061wrong. these shits dont even have enough buttons to cover the ps1 controller.
>>740065116yet those buttons and dpad are higher quality than chinkhelds
>>740065116n3DS does, with the exception of clicking the stick.
>>740064923Yeah, in reddit and twitter a lot of people use handhelds exclusively to make social media posts instead of actually playingthis is specially worse for the steam deck because the vast majority of it's owners are larpers
>>740064236As with every other question, Ayn Thor
>>740067665I'd get this if i didn't already have a deck
>>740067665To me there is something depressing about being "set" with 1 device. Just every game you can ever play on a single device.:(
I want to gift someone a handheld so they can play tetris. Are those retro chink handhelds any good or should I just get them a normal handheld?
>>740064236>What is the best way to play PS1 games?I play PSX games on my 'Eck in my big bed with my wife (husband).
>>740069256They are
>>740069256Yeah, they make good gifts cause they're cheap. less than $20 bucks. I throw a few pokemon games on the things and suddenly I'm everyone's favorite uncle. It's dope.
>>740064236those both look like shit, picrel is massively superior
>>740067665using a dual screen device for anything besides ds and 3ds is fucking retarded and will never be ideal
>>740064236Vita because of the face buttons being the same as PS1 and d-pad is most similar. Also actually portable unlike the Steam Deck and no useless lower screen of the 3DS
Either an actual ps1, or a mister hooked up to a CRT.
>>740070141This. Really the only consoles you need to own are a 3DS for DS and 3DS games and a Wii U for Wii and Wii U games. The rest can be emulated in any standard console / handheld / PC while having the same experience as original hardware.
>>740070247arent you forgetting about someone?
>>740070352just play on 3ds
>>740067665Vouch. I've had mine for about a month and it really does live up to the hype. It isn't even an unreasonable price considering how fucked the market is these days
>>740069663>>740069461Any recommendations? I have no idea what's around and I don't need something where I can emulate every console gen up to now or something like that.I don't even know which Tetris version I should put in, I only know about the NES/GB OG, PPT2, Tetr.io and Effect
>>740071637There's a thread on /vr/ for chinkhelds
>>740064236nintendo switch would be better
>>740071637Just don't go over $50USD and you should be fine. I am only going to recommend anbernics, which is likely not in the price range you're looking for. >>740071890this, go ask there
>>740064236VITA MEANS LIFE
>>740072005No joke. I played all of FFVII on Switch with Duckstation, using 3x internal rendering with downscaling to native res, and a CRT filter. It ran perfectly, and it causes the 3D models to blend in really well with the low res background art.FFVIII plays full speed on 3DS, but I'm also tempted to take that on the Switch given how good Duckstation is.
>>740064236iirc vita can do ps1 virtualization via adrenaline which is way more performant than emulating it on a 3ds, i have a vita and a n2dsxl but i'd probably pick the vita if i was looking to do ps1
>>740064236Original hardware.High quality CRT display.
>>740073295It is, but there's a couple of games that run full speed on PCSXRearmed on the 3DS. Silent Hill runs well, but occasionally the draw distance and objects on screen causes it to dip down to 23fps or something. With frameskipping enabled the whole game is very playable, but yes, the PS Vita "emulation" is almost spotless. I notice in the OP webm though that the Vita doesn't fade between the gameplay and CGI while it did on 3DS. I wonder if that's a miss in the Vita's emulation.
I burn the games I actually care about and play them on my PS2Games with simple controls I just use my PSPAnd then PS3 for everything elseAlso kill yourself vitranny shill
>>740064891I played through forbidden memories recently on my psp (the old one not vita) and it looked a lot better than whatever tf is going on with that vita.
>>740064236On a TV like it was intended. CRT.
>>7400642365k display with an HQ CRT filter
>>740069256Don't buy the cheap chinkhelds that can turn into fire hazards under modern chargers and cables if you're gifting, start with >>740070038 at bare minimum. You don't sound like you'd be able to set it up correctly though, so might just want to buy a standard handheld instead.
>>740064694>texture warpingNo thanks.
>>740064236On a RP5, unironically.
>>740073906I'm just asking what kind of chink handhelds are around.
Emulating them on your computer. What kind of idiot wastes his money on all this "portable" trash?
>>740074496>top tierayn, retroid>stay away tiereverything else
>>740074389Kill yourself zoomerfaggot
>>740064236Unless there have been massive strives in the 3DS PS1 emulator it doesn't have sound and likely doesn't function beyond that screen.Vita is a great way to play PS1 games though
>>740065092No they don't.
>>740074496Definitely go with normal handhelds then. Chinkhelds are tinkerer machines, it takes time, research and familiarity with garbage software like Android and RA. I would agree with >>740074547, except basically every other retroid release is fucked in some way and the 3DS meme from ayn won't last. But since they're under the same parent company they use the same buttons and d-pads every time, and their d-pads are fucking excellent.
>>740067665This.>>740068290I'm kinda into just one device. I get the sentiment but i feel like i wouldn't be using them enough to justify getting 2-3 different devices. At worst i probably get magicx one 35 for shorter trips. Just waiting for their aliexpress store to open up for europa.
>>740070141you can turn off either screens but also useful for when you need guides. or want to keep paint open to draw a map.
>>740069256Just Tetris? Honestly a GBA and an origina GB Tetris cart work wonders for that, since it's so fast to boot and there's no emulation slowness.
Guy is offering to trade his ayn thor max for my banged up N3dsxl. Should I do it?
>>740065530>People post what games they're playing>Anon who never posts anything related to video games>You askually don't play games ok!
>>740064236How well do PS1 games run on 3DS?
>>740075198I heard it's solid but only on new 3DS XL models (or new 2DS XL too, i think they got the same CPU)
>>740075198Like ass. FMVs stutter like crazy and the models look kinda warped due to the resolution /aspect ratios of the 3DS screen.
>>740075275It's not, the new 3ds xl has the same specs as the new 3ds and they run ps1 games like garbage. Symphony of the night is one you can play fine but the rest play like shit.
>>740064236Chinkheld if you want a handheld. MiSTer otherwise.
>>740067665This device is the ultimate larper magnet.
>>740064272>>740064334>>740064236man the 3ds screen looks like shit next to the vita
>>740074389soulless nigger, I agree with the other poster, kys
>>740064694It's duckstation
>>740074805My only experience with homebrewe are PS2, Wii, GBA, PSP, NDS, 3DS, Vita but I think I'll manage the drag&drop.>tinkerer machineI want to tinker the tinkerer machine so it can play Tetris. And maybe not look too dorky
>>740072170>>740071890Neat, I just hope it's not like other generals
>>740069663Nice larp faggot, no one would be happy getting shitty pokemon games as their birthday present
>>740077356Thats because it is... the DS/3DS has a terrible, shitty ass very low resolution screen. It literally hurts my eyes with how pixellated it all is.Vita screen is super clean even if it's 500p ish
>>740064236Emulation with good CRT option will always win. On deck, there would be ways to do that.Between Vita and 3DS, it is mixed. Adrenaline has save states on Vita, New 3DS has two extra buttons for R2/L2 (Vita has back touch which is funky).
>>740074589>>740077435I'm sorry, but the warping and jittering looks like shit. You growing up with it doesn't make it "Soulful".I can already tell Gen A adults will praise the washed out UE5 graphics as "SOVL". That will be funny and sad to see.
>>740078136>You growing up with it doesn't make it "Soulful".This, one of the best parts of modern emulation is you can eliminate that garbage all together.
>>740064694Paying way more than the original price for someone's beat up console and scratched up discs just to play a few PS1 games? No thanks. Emulation is always superior.
>>740064236On Playstation 1.
>>740078329*Duckstation
>>740078329>>740078393**Swanstation
>>740078234>Paying way more than the original price for someone's beat up consolefake newsi got a PSOne for 20 bucks just a few weeks ago, and while the seller didn't mention it, it already had a modchip installed (and the lid sensor gummed down for swapping for some reason)
>>740064236PS1 or even PS2 because that has a PS1 in it. No emulation required, and if you're not a retard, you can make both run digital copies.
>>740073906Retroid Classic isn't for sale anymore.
>>740078797
>>740078987I don't want the 6 button one though?
>>740079065Then don't get it? You said they're not for sale anymore when clearly you can buy both versions.
>>740064236Pc+retroarch+shaders. Ps vita is a good compromise if its the only console you own
>>740074536This. It is objectively the best way to play any game.
>>740075358Xenogears runs ok
>>740067665ultimate zoomer scam device
>>740064891Vitas are fucking greatWish I got one when they where $80 a pop now they're more expensive than an unpatched switch
>>740064891>scales properly.integer scaling is always proper. I'm not sure what the Deck's 800p will accomplish for a sub-240p game versus the Vita's 544p.
why has everyone in my algorithm been shilling the vita to me
>>740079250up to which gen can i emulate on this thing?
>>740064236you can do this on your phone with a gamepad and have an infinitely better experience
>>740077824It's a lot more annoying than that but sure, have a taste.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BBxPnb8FTo
>>740078136>>740078220warping is absolutely soulful, part of the aesthetic and charm of the system, and if you do not see it you are a subhuman.

>>740080381>PW not POYou could at least play the good portable MGS.
>>740080968>You could at least play the good portable MGS.But anon, the GBC pillarboxing would look even worse.
>>740080436The "charm" devs desperately tried to mitigate? It looks bad, anon. You'll (hopefully) understand when Gen A starts arguing UE5 had a "soulful" aesthetic.
>>740064236>What is the best way to play PS1 games?Real, big CRT television + the original consoles and discs. In a dark room, good audio devices.
