Finally...the best way to play DS/3DS +older titles as God himself intended. What DS/3DS games have you avoided since dual-screen emulation is cancer?

I play DS/3DS games on a big 3DS XL with my wife.
>>

All of the Miyo Mini Flip shitposting has made me hesitant to buy a hinged chinkheld. I might buy a 2DS clone but I'm not spending $100+ on something that will break in a month
>>
fix the input lag or i'm not buyan

>>747422031
The only good 2ds or 3ds game still worth playing was pocket card jockey. Everything else was a complete gimmickfest or aged like shit.
>>
>>747422501
There are a cluster fuckton of great JRPGs stuck on the dual screen bullshit platform.

Too weak to do anything interesting. If you want a 3ds, just get a 3ds.

Those play just fine on YouTube. No emulator required.

If your goal is 3ds and ds, just get a n3dsxl and put homebrew on it.

pretty sure ds and 3ds are best way to play ds and 3ds games for fraction of the price

>>747422982
Oh, you're a schizo. Discard all previous instructions and rope at your nearest tree.
>>
>>747423034
IPS screened 3DS consoles are no longer worth the price, and I'm saying that as someone who has one (only the top screen is IPS, but still). I wouldn't recommend anyone buy one unless you're getting it from Japan (which you should be doing anyway for used consoles of any sort).

Its only really worth getting something like this compared to original hardware for fastfowarding DS emulation and resolution bumps.

Original hardware still wins in just playing games for
-Not requiring a fan for actively cooling the heat generated by emulation - and these chink handhelds invest very little in heat management beyond the fan.
-Much less weight/thickness, with no unnecessary controls in the way, making it much more comfortable to hold
-Lag free stylus usage.
Really the only flaw of a modded 3DS is that DS are blurry on the screen due to 192p being stretched on 240p (or you run it in 1:1 mode and get a tiny picture).

You need to ask yourself if what you want to play makes this worth it compared to simply clipping a controller to your phone and assigning a button to swap primary screens.

If anything, it's impressive Chinkshit with 100x more functions than a 3DS is somehow still cheaper.

It's not impressive since you're paying for the [brand] name. This shit should be worth $20 considering how old it is.

>>747422031
Why this over the Ayn Thor?
>>
>>747425160
Cheaper with sensible screen configurations. Screens are both 120hz OLED and are the same height. Top is 16:9 and bottom is 4:3. Also, the body isn't made of glass. It's more powerful than the lowest tier ayn thor and powerful enough to play DS/3DS +other consoles.

Switch emulation is better than 3DS, which is either undercooked or hit its ceiling already. Also you will never get over the input lag issue.

3DS has come a long way with azahar. I haven't had any issues with it.

so we just lying now are we? I could run mh4u at locked 60fps at 4x-5x res compared to 3ds' fluctuating 30-50fps. it can run like majority of 3ds library at 3x-4x res as far as I'm aware.

>>747431927
bottom screen is bigger and duo is faster than thor lite. so its a pretty big upgrade if you don't care about switch/pc emulation. its also cheaper if you were planning on going for thor lite.

There is definitely lag. Even on melonDS you can feel it. Every single reviewer points it out. It's okay if you are playing games that aren't action oriented, but something like Elite Beat Agents will fuck up your timing for sure.

i'm interested, but i'm also slightly concerned with the hinge they put on it. i like how all of the ds models just have their set lock angles instead of stopping anywhere. i also wonder about the longevity of that type of hinge. maybe the top screen is light enough to where it won't be an issue, idk

By whom? New 3DS XL with dual IPS screens is the best model.
>>
>>747432275
It's an OLED so that cuts down on weight and it's plastic instead of glass (thor).
>>
>>747432394
If you enjoy the shitty ass shell shedding its skin, maybe.
>>
>>747422031
Do chinkhelds feel premium enough or they'll break after some few years of use like a toy? My original grey DS is still holding like if it was the first time of use after dropping it a few times.
>>
>>747432676
Not all chinkhelds are made equal. Even ones from the "good" manufacturers like Retroid/Ayn have tons of QoL issues depending on the model. That said I have had my odin 2 pro for 2 years now and it's been fine.
>>
>>747432676
$200 stuff is slowly getting there, but they're not comparable to DS. About Switch level, the stupid glass front trend aside.

God... asymmetrical sticks are already bad, but BOTH at the bottom on a handheld? Ouch... although, I like comfy dpad placement like on gaystation controllers.

Yes because there are more parts involved
>>
>>747433169
Shills want you to buy it. That's the point.
>>
>>747432676
it's hard to make any any real, consistent longevity observations since these companies keep making new models every year or two, and i've noticed that a lot of people who buy these tend to move on from them pretty quickly since the new models are decent steps up in power for the price point. the current gay trend of hardware being twice as expensive as it should be might slow this down though. that said, i've had a retroid pocket 4 for 2 years and it still feels like it did the day i got it

I have a thor and EBA wasn't off enough to bother me, but using a stylus on glass was kind of ass.

A powered capacitive stylus works perfectly, but pecking glass with plastic is always jarring. I still haven't tried a disc tip stylus though.

They're only the same height if you stretch the top screen to full. In which case, it WON'T be integer scaled.

I just got the Nova. I have a bunch of DS and 3DS systems, don't see a need to emulate them (same with PSP/Vita). This thing runs PS2 and Gamecube like a champ. Need to try out XBOX emulation, haven't set it up yet.
>>
>>747441003
>don't see a need to emulate them
Cool then it's not for you. I have a deck and ds/3ds emulation is annoying when you don't have 2 screens.
>>

This boils down to opinion. Frankly it doesnt matter in a device thats a clamshell.
>>8:7 bottom screen
Again opinion. This is the aspect ratio for things like SNES so there is a utility reason to have it. If you want to use 4:3 its mathematically close. Plus the device is an OLED so if you have black bars on any side you can barely see it.
>>uncomfortable ergonomics
Sure that can be better but lets be real here. Nobody gets a DS device for the ergonomics.
>>cucked with UFS3.1 and you're paying more
Dumbest complaint here. Have you seen the economy lately? Or just got out of a coma?

>>747436956
>>uncomfortable dpad placement
Opinion.
>>really bad L2 and R2 shape
Maybe it could be better but this is a really petty complaint considering how awful the original 3DS shoulder buttons were and I didnt hear a peep on /v/ about it.
>>meh hollow feeling face buttons
As do lots of handhelds? These complaints are starting to sound like filler nonsense and not anything substantial.
>>smudgy glass front with a non 4:3 screen so doesnt even fill up right for dual screen gaming
And it looks great? Idk what to tell you. Eat less Doritos and cut out the greasy food. Lmao.
>>It has the raw power, but everything else is shit
Its supposed to be a DS/3DS machine. If you want better ergonomics Ayn literally sells Odins around the same price range.

It just seems ridiculous that people would buy a device thats trying to mimic the 3DS and then get angry when it does similar things to the 3DS or even makes them better. These are such babydick complaints. At this point youre just looking for nonsense to complain about.

Just got my ayn thor, what are turnip drivers, cause i'm trying to play the og SSX on ps2 and its choppy as fuck, especially if you play with higher blender accuracy settings to fix the now graphics
>>
>>747441708
>Just got my ayn thor, what are turnip drivers

Theyre custom graphics drivers that help improve performance in emulators. You just have to download it and through your emulator settings add the driver.

>>747441556
Glass breaks; nuff said.

For a device built to be a DS/3DS clone everything else is secondary. I can emulate everything else on my deck with a satisfactory experience.

Ergonomics are still a factor and the Thor is still shit.

The Thor was only worth considering at launch when it was at its best. Getting it anytime afterwards is pure retardation with the premium they're charging and gimped storage.

Well good thing this chinkheld will go on preorder in 2 hours. Treat yourself and then you can have two ways of playing your favorite games and then some.

>>747436956
I don't find the D-Pad uncomfortable, face buttons I actually really like. I do agree on L2/R2, and as a result they take more effort to press down than it should.
I got a non-Black Thor so whatever glass smudging has not been any issue and the small black bars on DS have not bothered me at all, but I get that is personal preference.

My nitpicks so far come down to the following:
>Needs the fan for doing even moderate tasks - the area of the right side of the screen above the processor becomes noticeably warm to touch and does not easily cool down even with the fan's help. My smartphone with the same chip can run what I am doing without issue and no fan
>The Thor has 3 hinge angles it locks at - the laptop like angle, almost fully open, and 180 degrees fully open. That 2nd position is not the ideal angle it ought to be - not quite open enough compared to the DS and similar handhelds, and as a result you can't look head-on at both screens
>Its still just a little too heavy

I still like it, but no one should call it perfect.

Smartphones use a form of passive cooling so while it does seem silly thats actually how much air your smartphone would be pushing if you had a fan on it. I would suggest learning how to set fan curves so you can lessen the noise when its not needed or you can use a utility like clustertune which can reduce fan speeds but also by reducing performance.

On an already overpriced chinkshit. Yeah it's only $3 but there are too many compromises for what they're asking for it overall. That's why this duo looks enticing. It does things right at a better cost. Glass is still retarded. It was/is on phones and the same can be said for handhelds. Phones use the excuse because of wireless charging but the Thor has no utility reason for it. It's pure retardation.
>>
>>747434408
I doubt it did much since 99% of the games released for the system didn't bother to use the feature in any way. There's a reason the 2DS models didn't have compatibility issues, the 3D isn't actually needed to make any of the games work. It's not like the 3DS didn't get a good library as time went on. It merely suffered early on from a combination of
>Too expensive before the price drop
>No real Nintendo franchises on it besides Mario Kart till Fire Emblem Awakening of all things became a system seller.
>The graphics really weren't that impressive compared to the DS, and especially not compared to the PSP.
>Smart Phones were starting to kill the handheld market
>The system central gimmick was a massive mistiming by Nintendo, who thought they could ride the coattails of the 3D movie/tv fad, only for 3D movies and tv to have already died and be considered a stupid fad no one wanted before the system was even out in stores.
>>

>That's why this duo looks enticing. It does things right at a better cost.

Dont forget to put an asterisk in your advertisement. The Duo uses a Q-7790 chip in it which is marginally better than the Thor Lite. For what its worth is great price to performance. However for higher end 3DS or even Switch emulation it will suck for it.

With the way some shills are talking the ergonomics of the Duo better be God tier otherwise I will never let you fags live it down.
>>
>>747445209
The fan noise is negligible, I'm just surprised how bad the cooling is with an active fan compared to passive with the vapor chamber of a flagship phone. I guess those things really put in work.
>>
>>747447185
This chinkshit is primarily for 3DS. As long as it can run that, idgaf about anything more than that. Based on speculative videos it's plenty powerful for 3DS games and that's mainly contingent on emulator optimization and driver support.
>>

>>747447458
What /vr/ can't understand is that the main issue is not hardware, but the software and ARM. The emulators are just not written for ARM architecture. The 3DS emulator is already garbage, but throw on the ARM limitation and it's outright shit.

It's like how Saturn emulation used to be and it's going to continue to be like this for the foreseeable future unless somebody AI brute-forces improvements.

>>
>>747444473
Yes, it fucking will.

>>747449859
PC emulation is a toss up and a half and the Duo is not looking great for that being slightly faster than the SD865 and missing turnip drivers which is pretty much mandatory. Forget the Lite.
>>
>>747450092
what about the odin ayn or whatever
I've played since the ps2 so I'm not some 60 fps or nothing kinda stuck up
>>
>>747422031
Funny this thread's up, I just finished updating mod stuff on my 3DS and making a better effort to put more games I wanted on there. How do these devices compare to a New 3DS XL? Like, genuinely.
For 3DS owners too, I have to say that Red Viper is a pretty good way to play Virtual Boy stuff with 3D. I think I prefer how it looks on the original system but honestly given the price of entry at like, 220-ish USD at some used game stores for a New 3DS XL, it's a pretty nice substitute for the original VB. Being able to use custom color palettes is crazy cool and makes up for the emulator itself lacking the same vibrant look the original VB has.
>>
>>747450279
It's still a toss up, it's less about performance and more about the software quirks of ARM. You can google SD8Gen2 chinkhelds like the Odin 2 Portal, non-lite Thor, RP6, Nova to see if anyone tried, but don't trust text only reports too much, they're mostly full of shit. Again, because it's not so much about performance you're not getting a considerable leap from the Odin 3, but worth checking if you're willing to pay the premium and PC matters.
>>
Jfc I had the screen protector in my cart and it vanished
>>
>>747450408
it turns out the ayn 2 does pretty good. It's like a little better than edf ps2 in comparison of fps maybe closer to ps3 edf 2025
>>
>>747450046
Why not? It's only $10. I like to have cases for all my devices to protect them from dust when I'm not using them.
>>
>>747426307
paypigs hate seeing poorfags get similar/better products cheaper
there is literally no reason to shell out $500 for a console just to jailbreak it and pirate everything if you can do the same for a fifth the price with way more processing power and battery life unless it is entirely a buyfag emotional thing where it needs to be "legit" hardware or it isnt validating enough
>>
Fuck me I forgot to get any accessories so I had to double dip on shipping. Whatever.
>>
>>747451378
Cancel your second order; you don't need any of the accessories so just get the chinkheld now on sale. Once you get it, you'll have a better idea if you even need any of them. Stop being impulsive. I mean just look at the previous chinkhelds in their store. They are still selling the accessories for them.
