You do have one, don't you?
I have an original 3DS
>>741407328i will only consider one when they give it a proper touch screen. until then i'm sticking to my original handhelds.
>>741407328No, I bought an actual New 3DS XL instead. No input lag, correct screen resolution, the 3D effect, and the resistant touch screen were more important to me.
i have an rp6 but its kind of jank and i dont like it. i think i didnt set it up well. if only i had a cute /v/ bf to set it up for me...
>>741407328yes?
Anbernics, cause I'm poor.
>>741407328>>741409176I have this.Can handle up to gamecube games, and I really like the small form factor.
>>741407518>proper touch screenwdym?
>>741410212he wants the touch screen that only works with pointy shit like nails and original 3ds stylus. the modern ones only work with soft bits
>>741410270dude I emulated the ace attorney series for DS on my phone almost a decade agoMy fingees were good enough
>>741410348>bro thinks his ancient unc fingers are still good :skull:
>>741410348to each their own. if he wants a pointy bit touchscreen he can wait for it. my cheapo modded stylus worked fine for rhythm heaven ds. im sure the chinks are working on thor2 or whatever.
>>741409874What are some GameCube games that you'd recommend? I've already played pikmin but that's about it.
>>741410974Windwaker and Twilight PrincessMario SunshinePaper Mario: Thousand Year Door
I already have an original DSi, 3DS XL and New 3DS, I think I'm good.
>>741407328i want an Ayaneo flip but that one is barely achievable and the company keeps ages to produce other products (even if i hardly think they'll ever do that, the other handhelds they made are still in the unavailable status)
There's just something about these chink knockoff handhelds that repulse me on a cellular level.
>>741407328I wanna get one but I bought the SC instead
>>741410348Yeah no shit Now play trauma center
>>741414259it's called stockholm syndrome unc
yes i got the Max version and like it so farIm not really experimenting much with frontends or such i just play gamecube and 3ds games and its good so far but it ahs problemsFor 3ds i played Awakening and it had massive stutters when the battles played I looked if anyone else had the same problems and installed the turnip drivers and disabled hardware shaders and that fixed the problemnot diasbling hardware shadders made it so that 3d models load in a few seconds later than they shouldI also played 3d Mario Land and it had problemsThe game was slower and had some minnor emulation problems I also played some gamecube games on Dolphinb for Android and its fine but sometimes i get an error message poping up I dont know much about emulation so i dont know if theres an fix for it or whatnot i just wanted to play games on it in my bed and for that its good
>>741414435>they repulse me>stockholm syndromeYou don't know what that is, do you, Chang?
>>741407328I kinda want one but I can't find any reason to actually get one. I have a 3DS, a vita, and a switch. There's nothing the thor can do better than one of those.
im a sucker for clam shells
>>741407328Lagtroid and the dpad placement and shitty triggers ruin it
>>741407328No. Does it run Godot games or is it emulation only?
>>741414259Same. It's for manchildren afraid to be alone with their own thoughts for 5 seconds so they need to constantly be binging in public
When the Steam Frame comes out, there will be an Steam app that emulates x86 games on your phone. If you have "any" Snapdragon-based phone made in the past ten years, you're golden.
>>741418835that's a w for applechads
>>741418950uhm.. it's just it's just for ARM and Android
Yeah and the fan got fucked up in like a month. Shit sounds like an electric hair clipper
>>741420271mine is fine. i got it in oct/nov.
I didnt know AYN has shills here. Good to know. Definitely not giving them any money now.
>>741407328I would have gotten one if it didn't have an all glass face.
>>741423353you were never going to give them money anyway lilgup.
how good is ps2 emulation on it?
>>741407328I have a steam deck but those ayn thors look super neat, especially as they can run PC games too
>>741407328I ordered one, then saw the videos of the input lag in DS emulators and immediately cancelled
>>741407328I bought the flip2 before this was announced and now I cannot justify buying the Thor.Whatever, I still got my DSi and 3DS.
>>741407408Zoom zoomer
>>741410348Wow you had no trouble playing the GBA port that used the touchscreen as a glorified button?
>>741423353
>>741407328>Redundant second screen that you won't need after playing the 5 good 3DS exclusives. Pointless device.
you can browse 4chan and play at the same time
>>741407328How is the battery life on these things? I probably won't get one cause while I am curious about getting one, I have a 3DSxl for that shit already.But I am curious how well a dual screen on an android device lasts.
>>741425438
>>741409038>ballisticngstay racist my brother
>>741425408Zoomer brain.When playing a game 100% of my focus must be on the game imeditely.If my thoughts even drift anywhere else while playing, the game has failed at capturing me and is likely repetetive slop that requires little thought.
>>741425408first time i'm seeing my picture being randomly posted by anon.>>741425559always. i was born a racist.
>>741425408>t.
Handhelds are for (man)children
>>741425561lik e33? yeah indeed
>>741425780>>741425561>posting a pic means I'm a zoomerretard normalfags
>>741426110>e621 brought up out of nowhere
>>741425671whats the snow pic?
Can this play PS2 games?
>>741426161yeah, whenever I can shove my hate for this game, I let it know everyone
>>741407328>chink shit that struggles to render PS2 games without disabling effects and enabling hacksnah, I'm good.
>>741426217yes
>>741407328i bought the odin 2 portalplayed with it for a week and now its collecting dust
>>741426246The only thing you're good at is blowing dudes.
>>741426191i have no idea. found some red looking things in the snow. looked good.
>>741420271Bluto and olive oil? :3
>>741426246its because of the emulator and not the gameif the devs werent so retarded you'd be able to play all ps2 games
>>741407328Why should I get one of those instead of using my Deck? My Deck even has a touch screen, and I bought a stylus to play DS/3DS games.>>741426147They're making fun of you multitasking, not having posted a picture.That said, I think they're retarded.
>>741407328i wanted to get 12/256 version of RP6 but it disappeared so i bought a new phone instead, surely snap 8 elite will be enough for ps2/switch emulation and light pc games even considering thermal throttling, now i need to find phone controller with both analog triggers and a 3.5 jack
>>741425408kino...
>>741426538A type of crab apple it looks like
nah I bought their chunky competitor instead. I love it so fucking much, the girth and the screen are ridiculous
>>741407328I prefer the RG Slide. For DS games I have a DSi XL. For 3DS games I have multiple n3DS (big and small).
I ordered the atomic purple. I hope it turns out good. It was between that an black.
I fail to see the point. It's too unwieildy for a handheld and still less powerful than a gaymer phone (with a controller attachment). I have a small chinkheld (ayaneo pocket air mini) for portable use and a redmagic 11s for higher end emulation and pc shit but I don't really enjoy ps2 and up games on such small screens and the battery life is abysmal with those so I barely use it and play on pc instead.
>>741426675and that is a big part on why I'm not into chinkshit. All of those handhelds are based on Android, and Android emulation for the PS2 or Dreamcast is just not good enough.
>>741428181all the low power chinkhelds run on linux and there's people working on a linux OS for the android based oneshttps://rocknix.org/
>>741427868enjoy anon. i didn't like the purple glass around the bottom screen. it was way too dark. and black one was a fingerprint magnet so i went with the grey one. i personally like translucent atomic purple shells.
>>741407328>You do have one, don't you?I have multiple, actually.
>>741407328Just bought an Odin 3. Can't wait for it to get here.
>>741409038That the PC version or?
>>741423353Based.
>>741425515That's way better than I would have expected. Thanks anon.
>>741426217These can play Switch and PC games, anon.
>>741429986ballisticng? yeah. steam version emulated through gamenative.>>741430039i got 8 hours of gameplay time on ppsspp.
>>741428340why we can't install steamos?
>>741430129ARM chips
>>741429934How much?
>>741430129???
>>741430225I'm in Brazil so I paid out of the ass to get it next week instead of Batch 8 (ships September).Paid ~$800 for it.
>>741407328I wanted to get this, but ended up with the rog ally instead. Didn't want to fiddle with settings to get PC games working. Arm probably needs another 3-5 years before it can be plug and play for PC indies.
>>741430369PC indies run great on 8Gen2/8Elite. It's AAA games that are still a few years away.
>>741430409Really depends on the game. I had the 8GB version and there were VNs it couldn't run without audio lag. Some I could fix through fiddling with the settings, but I am the point I just want to pick up something and play immediately. I heard the 16GB version works a lot better, but then at that point it's more expensive than the rog ally yet plays less games so what's the point?
>>741430369>it can be plug and play for PC indiesgamenative has been pretty plug and play for me in terms of indies. i have not bothered with 3d heavy games so keep that in mind.
>>741430650ROG Ally will unquestionably be the most frictionless option, for sure. I still think these handhelds have value, they're much smaller and some legitimately have more battery life than an x86 device.And I've seen people say that games emulate better on Android than x86, but I don't really buy that.
>>741409038>Fred V & GrafixHoly based taste
>>741430763See>>741430650I couldn't get slay the princess running perfectly either. Kept running into glitched/no graphics if it even loaded at all.
>>741430885https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OADoExnYnSgI give credit to this for introducing me to them.
I'm tempted but still satisfied with my d'eck
>>741430929yeah idk then. I got angelstruck, ballisticng, gunboat god, and furi to run without any tinkering.
>>741431207It feels to me like the more well known games can run well. It's the obscure / old stuff that is hit or miss. No clue why, but it has been my experience.
>>741431262sure I can see that. but angelstruck is pretty obscure. so im assuming its the edge cases.
>>741430949For me it was this remix https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=egcMasu_I8o
>>741431002theres no reason to have one if you have an eck
>>741430347how is the size of this compared to the retroid
>>741431514Yeah I just think they're neat
>>741407328I had to decide between the Thor and the Konkr Pocket Fit and I went with the latter. The second screen on the Thor is a bit too niche for me, so I chose the Konkr for its comfort and extra power.Hopefully the chinks will release a cheaper dual screen device with enough power for 3DS games and a 4:3 second screen.
>>741431469I remember listening to this shit years ago... thanks for bringing up the memories. but i kinda prefer the normal feel the love
>>741407328What is the point on buying any of these if all of them are repurposed Android phones (and therefore, not as powerful or efficient)?
>>741431670
>AynRather a powkiddy. They VILL make their return.>>741425898>Forgets the board he's onNow if this thread were on /tv/, this post would make sense.>>741432235What phone not from CHADmagic is more powerful than the ACKyn whore? I imagine inbuilt cooling helps with thermals with stuff like gamehub/winlator rather than using those attachments. Of course, not a problem for CHADmagic.
>>741407328Nah I just use a phone with a controller
>>741432629pictured: the only person on earth still using the surface duo
>>741430129it's inside rocknix
Will the Ayn Thor Lite version be enough to handle 3DS, PS2, Gamecube and below?
>>741432908https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rYIpJyTznUwseems like it yeahit has the snapdragon 865 so just google that
>>741432658This thread can be the unification between chinkhelds and phones. Now whats a better controller than the bsp d11? Shit drifts like a fuck
>>741432908it can do gamecube and some ps2 games will require tinkering. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zeewxpMNMX8 i dont know how well 3ds will run but if I were to guess it'll be able to do 3ds as well.
no, I have a N3DSXL and a Vita
was going to wait for them to keep improving the dual screen chinkhelds but seems like they'll all cost 3x as much now so i'll just stick to PC and Deck + cheap chinkheld for gameboy games
>>741430229>>741432718do you install the games from your library and they just work or do you need to prepare them on the sd first?
>>741433602uhh for my handheld(odin 2 portal) i had to flash another bootloader which was easy afthen you just burn the rocknix image to your SD card and set the bootloader to load the sd card firstthen rocknix will just install itself and you can throw all your games on itrocknix also has an install script for steamos which installs it for you and then you can just launch steamos through rocknix and use it like normal
>>741432908Nah bruh pay the $70 for the base at least. The 8gen2 blows the 865 out of the water.
>>741407328Do any of these:-buy a 3DS -buy a Vita-buy a Switch -buy a decent android phone and a gamesir gamepad adapterDon't do this:-buy a shitty chinese handheld
>>741434537but a chinkheld can do all of those on one device
>>741434627I've tried a handful of chinkhelds in my time and there is always some flaw bringing down the experience build quality or software wise. The officials just work except for PSP which eventually blows up
>>741434712you 100% just bought one for 30 bucks off of aliexpress
>>741407328no, i got a retroid pocket 6 instead.
>>741410974Lost Kingdom, Gotcha Force, Ultimate Muscle, Darkened Skye, Dead to Rights, Viewtiful Joe, and Wario World.
Tell me if it can run my Steam games, /v/. Nothing heavy obviously, just some indies.
>>741432908Everyone says the lite is noticably slower and worse than the base. Spend the extra $80 for the base model
>>741407328I'm thinking of picking one up, or something like it. I love my 2DS, but the screen and battery leave much to be desired.How's the build quality on these?
>>741434537>3DS>Vita>SwitchAll weaker than chinkhelds. N3DS's are somewhat expensive now because normies learned what homebrew is. A modded Vita isn't a bad idea, but is still going to cost a few hundred dollars, and not be as powerful. Switch is another decent option, but again is weaker, going to have battery and stick issues, and is going to be more difficult to set up.Higher quality chinkhelds are the best option for a dedicated gaming handheld if you don't want to shell out for a steam deck.
>>741407328Because batch 6 hasn't shipped yet
>>741434927it can run steamos if you install rocknix and mostly plays light indie titles and well optimized ps3 titles for example hollow knight runs perfectly and metal gear rising is playable at 720p60fps on medium settingsif you dont want to fuck around with rocknix you can also emulate linux with gamenative, but that shit barely works imo
>>741434627>>741435302My point is that at that point you could just buy a decent phone that you can always have with you, with optional gamepad adapter you can attach. You need a phone anyway, why not spend a few dollars extra instead of buying a different device?It's less cringe to play on your phone in public than on a chinkheld, but you have the option to attach the physical buttons whenever you want to.
>>741435302Weaker for what? That's what the phone is for.>>741434763>Build quality Sounds like a retroid. Even the shart36s is better >>741434927Depends on the indies. Those acutally give the most trouble these days depending on the engine. List some
Thinking of getting one so I can play Super Mario 3D Land in 60fps
>>741407328i actually like to play games past the title screen so no
>>741409038>grafix>ballistic ngin this village you are known as my nigger
>>741407328Was looking this up today. Would the base model be enough for all 3ds games? I mean how demanding can they be
>>741435526>Telescopic controller in publicIt's the same shit, but why do chinkkeks and phonebros think people give a shit in 2026? As long as you're not making noise, people literally don't look at unless you have an errection. >>741435637AnbernigGOD
>>741435526>It's less cringe to play on your phone in publicI disagree with this. If you're playing a game on your phone in public in portrait mode, maybe. But if you're playing in landscape mode with both hands on your phone or a controller attachment, it's probably going to be seen as cringe nowadays. Having dedicated devices is cool now. If you have an iPod classic or Gameboy out in public, it's going to be seen as cooler than just being on your phone. There's been a trend in zoomers trying to move away from doing everything on their phones. That's why the 2nd hand market for older handhelds has skyrocketed the past few years. Same with iPods and digital cameras. It's cooler to not be on your phone.
>>741435568>Weaker for what?For emulating 3D games. If you just want to play 2D retro stuff, then any of those would be fine.
>>741407328Nah I'm waiting for a RP2S with a Oled screen>just grab the Min...Nah I'm waiting for a RP2S with a Oled screen
I never thought you could emulate Switch on anything less than a gaming PC.How much is a chinkheld that runs Switch games nearly perfectly?
>>741436180300ish
https://youtube.com/watch?v=tlkpqlLnfjwChinkheldfags! Phonefags! Will this end the war?>>741436149The 2 line is was killed for the mini. Not even joking. That design philosophy is dead with retroid now. Your best bet is an acutal 4:3 mini 2
>>741436398Then I want a Oled screen mod for my regular RP2S
>>741407328I can wait until they make one with a 3D screen thanks
>>741433602you're literally just running linux on it. it's no different from a steam deck
>>741434927you can play Steam games via GameNative or just straight up throwing SteamOS on the thing.
>>741407328I have an N3DS
>>741436180anything with a 8 Elite and more than 8GB of RAM
>>741410974Fire Emblem is good for a handheld
>>741432908If the other guy is right, upgrading to SD8Gen2 for $70 is a non-brainer, that's double the performance on benchmarks and still has all the good driver and linux support. Personally, I don't trust chink hinges to last.
>>741410974GC flopped precisely because it didn't have any big games outside of Smash
>>741425561What in the zoomer hell...
>>741435517>if you dont want to fuck around with rocknix you can also emulate linux with gamenative, but that shit barely works imoWrong, the android solutions are way more compatible and performant, though a lot input laggier. Not to mention running Rocknix and Steam from the SD card is really slow.
>>741442206i tried ff13 under both gamenative and that other chinese android emulator, neither workedtried it under steamos in rocknix and it just worked with the default settings
>>741434927No telling. Let me give you a real life example, my RP5 supposedly runs the horsefucker Lara Tomb Raiders on lowest settings and tiny res, so clearly that means everything beneath it should work, right? Wrong. Crazy Taxi runs like crap, Sonic Adventure DX, the steam version after getting converted to the original PC release, has massive stutters from the audio sideloading thing the converter ships with, while SA2B works perfect... until you add mods, simple ones at that.>>741442443That's an exception, not the rule. I can't play Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed on Rocknix as it gets cyan artifacts over everything, while it just works on Gamehub Lite with the proper Turnip and (IIRC) Proton 9.
>>741407328No, I have Steam Deck because I'm not a loser.
>>741443412Ok Jerry Smith
>>741443412I have a steam deck AND a thor
>>741443730nta but same
I sincerely hope most of this thread is children and not consoomer manchildren. I can't imagine anything more pathetic than a grown man using one of those in public.
>>741407328>Not just hacking a 3ds Wii u or switch Retard
>>741447093the switch doesnt have a 120hz oled screen
>>741447093a hacked 3ds or wii can't even do half the shit a thor can
Playing through TP on mine.
>>741447193a 3ds can actually play 3ds and ds games
>>741447352What internal resolution can run it?
I have had my purple max for about a month now. While it does emulation very well up to switch, the eergonomics are horrendous. Especially on something that requires 2 thumbsticks. It isn't really the thor's fault, the 3dsxl is just a terribly uncomfortable device, Especially if you have adult sized hands.
>>741448496I run it at 1080p on cemu with no issues. I have a thor max
>>7414483673ds games looks better on oled
Thoughts?
>>7414484964x I think. The screen is 1080p so it's not worth going above that anyways. On cemu the hd version can run native 1080p.
Eh. It looks sweet but I'm waiting for the Odyn 3 Portal.
I wish they added a proper touch screen to the bottom, not a phone one. That would make it basically a replacement device for the 3ds.
>>741449241Best thing since HRT!
>>741407328Does it run the shitshow that is 3DS emulation?
Of course not, i only play Nintendo games on original hardware.
>>741449838yep, really well actually
>>741449589Zamn, I wouldn't know...
>>741450001using Citra or what fork?Ngl I'm tempted, if the Lite or first base version is good enough it could be perfect to get through some 3DS games, I barely played that console.
>>741449569you mean a capacitive touchscreen so that you can use the stylus?it would also work if they put a digitizer under it so you could use normal android stylusesbut right now youre stuck with the shitty rubber tipped ones yeah
>>741450369im using azahar. i downloaded it using obtainium.
Here are a few pictures I took of my thor next to my n3dsxl, for size commission 1/3
2/3
>>741450749I see, ty, I wonder if there will be any sales of these things, I'm not in the rush to buy one but that'll make playing DS and 3DS a lot better than on pc as long the games run full speed.
3/3
>>741451473I wouldn't hold my breath for a sale, in fact the price has already gone up once and they just announced that they will be doing another one shortly.
>>741407328Is the battery superior to a smartphone, or will it die after ~4 years unlike real handhelds?
>>741451848it hasn't been out for even a year yet. how would you ever know?
>>741452286I just assumed anons here raving about it would know enough about the technical aspects (hardware) to estimate the lifetime of the Thor.
>>741452453google exists but, AYN has a great reputation and track record for battery life and longevity so there is no reason to think the Thor will be any different
>>741407328Yep, got my Max earlier this year just finished FE Echoes
