Should I?
No, just mod a N3DS
>>741796140>smaller, lower res screen, no dual analog
>>741796140What is that? I have an anberic rgds and it actually kinda blows. Slow laggy android os, horrible shades, no integer scaling for ds games, etc
>>741796574op's is the ayn thorbut you should install rocknix. apparently it makes the rg ds way better
>>7417961403ds emulation on Android is currently unstable so no
>>741796140If you want
>>741796140if you are getting the max then yesanything lower is a brick
>>741796140If they're 50 bucks, sure. Are they more expencive than that? Fuck no, don't be retarded
>>741802942a 50 dollar handheld will be able to play through ps1 while struggling with a bunch of n64 gamesthe device op posted can play most switch games and also a ton of pc games
It's great But you should have ordered one last year
Prices are about to jump on small and/single-board devices. Buying a console or pc hardware is going to get even more expensive. If you don't have any backup gaming gear, you should probably take care of that. The dark times are coming, even darker than the current dark time
>>741803690>the device op posted can play most switch games and also a ton of pc gamesthat's retarded, if they're modelling the design after the 3DS they should've capped out the performance at 3DS levels and lowered the price accordingly. If i wanted to play PC games I’d buy a steamdeck or a goddamn pc.
>>741796140I got my Odin 3 yesterday and it's shockingly good. Runs PC games much better than I expected. Emulation is obviously a breeze.>>741803902About to? My guy these things are $100-$150 more expensive than they were end of last year and most manufacturers announced they'll have to keep raising prices.
>>741803983The entire point of these is that they can emulate anything, including PC.It's a mini Steam Deck (and cheaper)
>>741804064Yes, I know. The price is about to jump again by another $50 to $100.
I was thinking of picking up a Retroid Pocket 5 but then I found out that virtually all Retroid handhelds eventually have their cracks appear on their plastic shells
>>741803690Then the answer is clear
>>741804141even if my 3DS suddenly became powerful enough to run pc games i wouldn't use outside of the novelty, the dual screen design simply doesn’t work well unless the game itself utilises them at that point it is strictly worse then a steam deck regardless of power and price range. Its clear they were designing it with 3DS/DS emulation in mind they should've just went hard in that direction instead of trying to be a jack of all trades handheld emulator
>>741796140It depends, what can you play on it?
>>741796140I keep getting tempted, but I have like 4 chinkhelds and don't play any of them.
>>741804698God you're retarded.
>>741804814every console that matters and easy to run pc titles
>>741805046Go on why would I want to use a steam deck that’s half as powerful with a secondary screen that doesn't do shit 80% of the time and clutters up the controls? If the Nintendo switch design suddenly got updated to have a full fucking keyboard in the middle of it and the price went up twofold because "now it can play games designed for the pc" that would be fucking retarded, that’s not what people buy a switch for from their perspective the price just went up for no reason. Tell your employers to stick to their lane instead of doing every thing in a mediocre fashion.
>>741805836How the fuck does it clutter up the controls? I don't even have one of these, but I have 2 monitors and my second monitor doesn't clutter up the controls of my pc.
>>741804698not all phone chips can do dual screens. it's quite likely that in order to be strong enough for 3ds emulation the 8 gen 2 was basically their only option and as a result it can play well beyond 3ds games
>>741796218fpbp
>>741796140Nah, 3DS layout is AIDS, chink hinges can't be trusted. Grab a horizontal and don't fall for the mini steam deck meme, best case scenario these niggers are playing FOTM indieshit so they think it's all good and dandy.
>>741805996>How the fuck does it clutter up the controls?I’m sure having two thin strips where you can place analogues and buttons is ideal, that’s why every controller you see has their buttons as far to the edges as possible with a large empty space in the middle. I'd forgive that if they at least justified the 2nd screen with a focus on NDS dual screen type emulation but people seem deadset on treating this as yet ANOTHER pc handheld that just so happens to have two screens.
>>741807210Jesus you're fucking retarded.
>>741807386Get a better sales pitch next time, shill.
>>741807860Please show me how that bottom scene makes button clutter more than another high end pcheld/chinkheld.
>>741807971Screen* before you default to saar posting since you won't have an answer.
>>741796140This is a weird design because the 3DS feels like shit to play for very long. I have a 3D-printed controller frame it slots into that makes it a lot better.
>>741796140What is your idea when you do grab it? Anything that requires prolonged usage of the touch screen will introduce input lag making a lot of the touch screen-focused games hard if not impossible to play. There's one guy on /vr/ who says he did Kid Icarus just fine but he never explained what difficulty he was even playing on or if it was just a casual thing. If you're only going to play button-based games it's perfectly fine, 3DS will just have shader caching stutters to deal with.PC performance is mostly a meme and all over the place in what runs well and what doesn't.It can go up to Switch but don't expect games to run well without some specific drivers.It can bruteforce the crappy PS2 emulation on Android to be better than it realistically is.You can opt for Rocknix to fix some of the input lag issues on the touch screen games but Linux is mostly aiming for DS and 3DS support so the other stuff isn't as supported last I checked.
>>741807971>what's 2+2 but DON'T SAY 4 gave me a real answer this timeread >>741807210 again retard. Don't like it? You can suck my hairy dick.
>>741808238So you admit you can't. Shave that shit nigga maybe you will actually get laid.
Not cluttered
>>741808778cluttered
>>741808849how is the clamshell cluttered if its the same as the one above but with an extra screen??
>>741809474That's my point.
>>741809474He's saying the clam is unnecessary. He's a clam hater
Lil bro shut the fuck real fast when I proved the second screen was just like a single screen for button placement and didn't cause clutter.
>>741811912dual screen clampshell allows for smaller footprint though + built in screen protection
>>741796218real 3ds is more expensive
>>741804064same got odin 3 last week. best video game purchase i made in years. plays everything from atari to nintendo switch 1 and pc games 1080p oled screen 120fps. the price is only going to go up so people shouldn't wait to buy. plus the software keeps improving
>>741796140i bought the odin 3 which is more powerful but if you really love 3ds games then the higher level thor model is pretty good
>>741796140I am enjoying my thor.Just playing jrpgs from my backlog.It's surprisingly able to run Metaphor quite decently using gamenative.
>>741812383the software is, in fact, bad. the odin 3 just bruteforces its way into running shit right now. will be very cool to see where it'll be a year from now.
this is coming out soon though
>>741814169I'll get that probably
>>741814169I'll wait for the dual screen handheld with this screen
i just got an r36max and im liking it so far. what should i get if i want a chinkheld for 3DS ONLY. no 3d console shit like N64 and later. no way am i shelling out $600 just to play a couple pokemon games.
>>741815292hm after a quick perusing, maybe just stick to pc emulation?
>>741815292https://anbernic.com/en-de/products/rgds
>>741815415This shit barely handles DS well, it is not good for 3ds at all
>>741815545well then you gotta get the thor
>>741803983moron
>>741796218>N3DS>Crappier specs>Inferior gamepad>Closed ecosystemWhy can't Nintendo fanboys admit their hardware sucks?
>>741796140Nooooo anon don't buy it!!
>>741796218DS games look so bad on 3ds
which one for a psp equivalent?I just want one that plays psp, psp vita and maybe ps1/ps2 games.
>>741815292>3DS onlyyour only option is the thor
>>741816225retroid pocket 6 or retroid pocket G2 Vita emulation is hit or miss but everyone else emulates well.
>>741816225if it was JUST psp you couldve gotten the trimui smart pro S but if you also want to play ps2 you gotta get like a retroid pocket 5 or better
>>741816225if it can play psp it'll be able to play all ps1 games just fine. vita emulation on handhelds is still lagging behind. if you want something that can easily handle ps2 then something with the 8 gen 2 like the retroid 6 or the odin 2 or the upcoming ambernic rg will do wellfor around 100 shekels you can get things like the trimui smart pro s or various mangmi devices that should be able to handle all psp games, but don't expect vita or ps2 out of them
>>741808238Why did this bitch nigger stop replying?
>>741814346That creates button clutter retard.
