Does /v/ into chinese handhelds?
>>
I never understood these when you can get a bluetooth controller/holder to run the same emulators on your phone

I've tried repeatedly to get into chinkhelds but what I actually want is not available yet (a $100 PS2/Gamecube capable console that fits in my pocket)
>>

Rp5 is on sale a lot now
$150 is the new $100 sadly
>>
Too many of these fucking things have an obsession with making them as small as possible. I want a "GameBoy XL" that keeps the form factor of the original but doesn't have buttons for the baby hands that assembled it in the sweatshops.

No one ever calls me, anyway, most of these games simply pause when you leave them on standby.

The RGXX line is a step in the right direction, but the screens and buttons could still be bigger. And as much as I love the GBA, I like my handhelds to be vertical.
>>
>>745963784
that's no handheld
>>
imagine willingly plugging a chinkheld into your computer
>>
>>745962473
Playing on your TV isn't enough, you have to play shitty ass games wherever you go? Get a new hobby.
>>
For me, it's the RG SP
>>
>>745963653
the retroid pocket nova just released, but it won't be $100 for a while; wishlist it
>>
>>745962473
no, I still have all my actual handhelds.
>>
They're cheap, easy to mod, yeah. I like them.
>>
>>745965343
>$239
>>
>>745962473
No, I don't compensate for cheaping out on my phone by spending the same amount, or more, it would have cost to get one of these.
>>
>>745962926
What shitty phone emulators are you using? Retroarch merely pauses when you leave the app running in the background

I love mine.

Most BT controllers fucking suck and you're sipping off the battery of your main communications device, it is in general a bad idea to use your phone over a dedicated handheld unless you can only bring the one device

Why would I buy a ~$35-$75 phone controller when I could buy a dedicated fucking handheld with a built in controller for that price and I get the added benefit of it not drawing off my phone's battery or having to put up with a wireless connection for something that's already clamped to my phone anyways
>>
>>745962473
They all look so fucking cheap.
>>
>>745963653
Look into portablized wiis unironically, or a flagship android phone
>>
>at home
>have perfectly good PC, consoles, etc

>out of the house
>have limited space in my pockets for a second wholeass device

Anyway I just got this and am playing DS and PS1 games. Shit's super slim and it's easier to just jump into games on a device that I know can already play all the shit
