>>748410332Poor msn's version of collecting physical video games I guess
>>748410332I have one of these, it was fun but it doesn't save anything so every time I pause a game if I leave it alone too long the console shuts down and my save is lost.
>>748410332kek loser nerd
I only just got my odin three so I've only finished God of war on it but I use it pretty much daily. Especially at work.Currently going through fire emblem engage.
>>748410332I actually really want to buy one of those cheap fuckers just for playing old RPGs in bed. I see them sometimes in Chinazon for like $20 and I'm always so tempted since I hope it wouldn't just instantly fall apart, but I've thus far resisted
>>7484103323ds is a better choice if your main platforms are nes, snes, mega drive, gbc, gba, ds, 3ds.
>>748410332Someday I want to have children and give them these things. It seems like it'd be magic for them.
>>748410332I think it really depends on the chinkheld you get. I had the same thing happen to me a few years ago, loaded a bunch of games never touched any of them, but I've been playing games on the Thor pretty much nonstop.
>>748410514>but it doesn't save anythingYou have to exit out of RetroArch, you can't just shut it down. Shutting down RetroArch commits the memory to a file so that your save is fine. You can enable it to do this dump every 10 or so minutes but the reason this isn't on by default is due to it wearing down the MicroSD card.
This is me except I actually play retro games, and enjoy it with a decent controller, 1440p screen, and CRT shaders.I primarily game on Retroarch
>>748411130Did you get a dedicated controller for Saturn games? I have a chinkheld but with the standard ABXY format instead of ABCXYZ so playing certain games were annoying.
>>748410332>yep, I sure enjoy collecting roms more than actually playing the games.Look at it this way, if shit ever does finally hit the fan, you will have a lot of games to play. Just need a generator and the will to kill people for their fuel.
>>748411256No my brain is very smart so binding A,B,C = square,cross,circle X,Y,Z = L1,triangle,R1does not bother me, especially since nothing ever uses xyz anyway.>>748411258Luckily solar panels and batteries exist, if it wasn't for the Great Satan banning imports on Chinese solar panels I could get 10000W of solar panels and batteries for cheap
>>748410332I have a chinkheld AND physical games, thoughever
>>748411541I'd rather just kill people for their fuel. Generators are simple, easy to fix technology. Solar panels are gay satanist meme tech.
>>7484103321. You have too much choice. People typically focused on a handful of games to like rather than whole collections. 2. most games arent' that interesting. 3. Most old games can't hold your attention now. 4. One particular hobby can get tiresome after a while, so switch things up.Can you put books on there? Like read a novel. Read. I'm taking breaks from gaming and just reading and like "damn, why'd I try this."
>>748412018>Can you put books on there?You can barely even read the text for the game description on that tiny ass screen.

>buy one of the shittiest handhelds made>can barely play SNES/GBA games>collect BILLIONS of roms>system shits itself and bricks before cfw>proper cfw didn't get made for it anywayRG99 my beloved....
>>748413565surely that thing is not worse than the dingoo that I got memed into buying. what a slow piece of shit.
>>748410332I did this with my childhood ps2. Found it in storage. Spent 100 bucks on the adapter a controller cause it was missing and 4tb harddrive. Shove every ps2 game on it. Thinking imma play all the games i didnt have as a kid. Fucked around in gta3 a game i still have the actual disk for a week. Havent touched it again in about a year now.
>>748413897But the PS2 has nice games though. Don't overload yourself with choices. There's some nice ones.
>>748411130Yeah. I got a steam deck four or five years ago. And actually, I play a lot of random old games. I just beat Joe and Mac for example. I need to set up my dreamcast emulator because I want to play an older game called Evolution.
>>748410332Why is his finger brown?>>748411130>CRT shaders
>>748411258You'd be surprised with how much you can do with some wires and a car battery
>>748410332You buy things for your inner child, but your inner child is rotten spoiled, your inner child has become an ungrateful fuck and he prefers to fap.
>>748411130I wish I had one of those really bright TVs for the Megatron shader. Instead I have a gaming OLED so I just stick to MegaBezel default.
>>748410332That's how I feel about these devices. I think I would only get them to collect roms. I don't think I'd actually play them much.
>>748410332Yeah. I got one of these for pretty much that reason. Something about buying a pre-curated little physical collection I can just slot in just kinda works better for me. If I wanna tool with Roms, I do that on PC or Phone and it rarely feels, I dunno, real I guess? There's some sort of lack of substance to it I can't explain that means they usually don't hold my attention very well.Hell I bought this thing just 'cause it was the red one, fully expecting to only like all of 2-3 games on it because it was just gonna be the usual 2600 shovelware Atari always puts out, but came away thinking the 7800 was a good console that Atari failed rather than the other way around. Got a cart to go with, and then got a few more since. It's nice.
>>748410332I take mine on long bike rides, but if I'm not riding I'm not playing.
I'm happy with mine but I actually play games.
>>748410332>buy emulator handheld>add all my favorite games and games that I want to play>scrape all of the boxart and info for the games so that the menu looks nice>start actually playing them, since I can now do that on my commute or while waiting on shit somewhere>5 games already finished in 2 months, making good progress on the 6thSounds like a you problem, anon
I was just looking into getting an anbernic, but I'm not sure which has open source firmware that's actively developed (the one I know of, garlic os, seems dead,) and that can handle up-to-ps1/psx emulation.Do I need a model with an analog stick or is the d-pad fine?
>>748413795Yooo I had one of these. It was sick
>>748416263And on that note, how do these handle stuff like PC98, DOS and Sharp X68000, for example?Are only the simpler games, with few keybindings playable at all?
>>748416263>but I'm not sure which has open source firmware that's actively developedLiterally anything from the past 6 or so years. Knulli is what you use if you want Emulation-Station (Prettier frontend), MuOS is if you want something super barebones, GammaOS or Rocknix for something that is Android-based usually.>and that can handle up-to-ps1/psx emulation.That is anything in the $60-80 range.RG35XX-H or RG40XX-H if you just want that limit the 40 just gets to be notably more hot than the 35.RG35XX if you want a vertical GB-style..RG34XX if you want a GBA clone but you need to open it up and put tape on the d-pad contacts or you get false diagonals.RG SP if you want an SP clone. The RG34XX-SP and RG35XX-SP are now redundant.If you want to step away from Anbernic then the TrimUI Brick is good if you just want NES/GB/GBC/GG.The TrimUI Smart Pro S is what you want if you want up to PSP support but Dreamcast, Saturn, and N64 are not recommended. It also feels fairly cheap. Ignore the Smart Pro it's outdated and can't do PSP.>Do I need a model with an analog stick or is the d-pad fine?Do you plan on playing Ape Escape? That's pretty much the only purpose for analog sticks on a PS1 and under machine outside of some Portmaster ports.>>748416372>how do these handle stuff like PC98, DOS and Sharp X68000, for example?They don't. You would need a USB-C dongle for a keyboard.
>>748410332Well, maybe you should kill yourself, faggot.
>>748410332Why don't they make any of these emulation handhelds with the Playstation style face buttons? It's either the Nintendo or Xbox style abxy.
>>748410332Skill issue. Having playnite tripled the time I spent playing videogames
>>748410332Your problemI completed over 100 game boy games on mineCurrently playing Advance Wars
>>748410332and instead of playing it, you're sitting here posting on /v/retard
This is why I made a list where I sorted out my games by priority
>>748413795>surely that thing is not worse than the dingoo that I got memed into buyingThe only thing that might be better on the RG99 is the ergonomics and brighter screen. Other than that, its almost exactly the same, it looks like it has the same UI. One thing that's worse on the RG99 is that it has removable knock-off Nokia battery... that has the terminals offset from the original-so you can't just buy a replacement that will fit unless the terminals are in the exact same spot. At least with the dingoo you can solder in a new battery. Which brings me to the actual reason my RG99 'bricked' (it's not 100% ruined, it boot loops 99.9% of the time upon starting, but the OS is definitely corrupted). The fucking battery port wasn't soldered to the motherboard. It was laying on top of the contacts. I wondered why the thing kept repeatedly cutting off even though the battery was fully charged, but by the time I opened it up and found the issue, the OS was already fucked.
>>748410798Why?No, seriously, why? It's objectively a terrible in that regard. GBA emulation isn't perfect and GBA injects are terrible since you have to patch out ghosting, there's the limit of 300 items in the home menu, no QOL shit, save management is a pain in the ass and the 3DS button layout in general is shit
>>748410332you are supposed to put like three to four hand picked games on it at most.then replace them when you finish them.
>>748410514install an OS that does "sleep mode", which is basically just saving your game.
skill issue it was kino as fuck playing fire emblem gba again on this
>>748418614Sounds like retarded behavior to me faggotYou download entire romsets and then play what you want. Why the fuck are you going to constantly transfer shit back into the chinkheld instead of just doing it only 1 single time in your life?Depending on your answer, I might reply with just skill issue
>>748418896talk about skill issue when you act like moving some games over with an FTP client takes any effort whatsoever.and what for anyways? so that you have to skip through tons of useless revisions or dogshit like current at the time sports game every time you want to play games?and then there's bigger consoles like PS1/2/Gamecube where you absolutely wont fit the whole set on the SD card.just retarded.
>>748410332this is why I personally believe the abundance of choice is the worst thing humans can experience, and why I havent yet bought an emulator handhald. I'll probably buy an FPGBC gameboy and 1 or 2 gamecarts and build my colection from the ground up
>>7484162635th Gen emulation, outside of some snags around the Saturn because of how much of a fucking flaming gay assfuck Sega was internally at the time and some oddballs [I've heard, but can't claim to know, that Jag and PC-FX emulation has more trouble, but like...c'mon], is pretty much solved. 60 dollar entry level handhelds like...fuck I dunno, this thing? This thing can run 5th Gen.
>>748419053Oh, so you're just retardedWell, I wasn't talking about gamecube and shit, since a single glance at OP's pic, you can tell that he isn't playing anything past the PS1 on thatAnyway, it's a complete skill issue. Literally every single OS has a search and favorite function. You cycle through your list and mark favorites to trim that shit down, or just type the name of the game and add it that way.That's objectively faster than individually downloading a fucking rom, turning on wifi on your chinkheld because you're just wasting battery if you leave that shit on all the time, opening both system's Ftp service and navigating to the correct folder because no one is subhuman enough to put SNES roms inside the NeoGeo folder.I got the entire GBA collection and only play like 10 games. When I want to play a new game, I can do it within 3 seconds. Life is simple
i got the retroid nova and i use it to play arcade games and fortnitegamenative is annoying as fuck
Are there any good devices for N64 emulation yet? My main requirement is the button layout.
>>748419294didnt read
>>748419570you wont get something retarded with the C-buttons normal people just bind those to the right analogue.bigger problem is N64 emulation being mediocre as fuck.
sign your ass up for retro achievements moron
>>748421654>unofficial achievements made by trannies
>>748414345This
>>748421654kys
>>748421719trannies dont live in my head rent free like they do you>>748421838smd
>>748410906Oh, i might actually use this then.The only retro games i like are turn based stuff you can't beat in one session.
>>748414838You take breaks on your bike ride long enough to play?
>>748424346It works like any emulator does.You save in game and it make a save file.You can use retroarch to make save states, rewind or auto saves.Home+select then exit goes back to the home page and save states where you were.
>>748410878You really think children in this day and age, much less in the future, will look at a device like this and won't gag at the sight of it liek we used to do if someone handed us a book when we wanted a console?
>>748424589>You save in game and it make a save file.It doesn't. It makes a temporary save file that only gets retained once the emulator is closed normally because the memory isn't dumped until then. If you shut off your system instead your save won't be there. It's a well known thing with Retroarch and why if you crash even after you made a save then your save isn't retained.
>>748410332Why is it so hard for you people to play video games?
>>748410332i have an r36s, i wasted 0 time scraping and shit, i finished 2 GBA yugioh games on it, havent used it since tho
>>748424854Yes, it fucking does.I literally have it and just beat pokemon TCG on GBC.You think I did that without turning it off ever?Stop talking shit you tech illiterate cunt.You can save in game like any ucking emulator can, it is literally retroarch and that is a thing in emulators used on retroarch
>>748424921short attention spansdopamine hits ever 5 second addiction.social media accommodates those 2 things, old videogames do not
>>748425007https://github.com/EmuELEC/EmuELEC/issues/809You likely have "SaveRAM Autosave Interval" enabled in some manner because you can even see in this issue that it mentions it is not enabled by default, particularly on h andhelds.
>>748425007>>748425095Minor correction, it's enabled by default on Retroarch desktop, most handheld OSes disable it by default due to the wear it produces on the MicroSD like I said.
>Get emulation machine>Only really like playing tycoon and strategy games>Realize I wasted my money.Railroad Tycoon 2 Dreamcast version was pretty neet.
>>748424854>>748425007i am neither of you 2 btwi think your discussion hinges on this Retroarch setting
>>748425172there might be a genre for you out there you will anon. seeing the image you posted, why dont you give the PS1 game "Sheep Raider" a chance?
>>748410332the more options you have to play, the less you play, I've experienced that a lot of times, reduce your choices and stick with them. Instead of an entire romset download only a few games.
>>748410332This is me with RG405v. I resold it after I realised that replaying peacewalker on a subpar emulator was not worth the price. I still want to get one of these that can do PS2 because setting that up with an HDTV and a HDD for disc images or going CRT and paying the bloated prices for original discs will end up coating more and will be a huge hassle.
>>748425243I actually played that as a kid lol. Even though there is little for me the few games they have are interesting.Konami published a Jurassic Park tycoon game for the GBA that to me is absolutely crazy.
>>748419294t.has 8000 games and 8 hours played.
>>748425172play some SRPGs
>>748425760Which ones?
>>748410332I lost everything in a house fire once, so just out of habit I buy backup electronic devices to leave at work or in my vehicle. On the off chance that I lose everything again.
>>748425457Have you played "Theme Park World"? i played it on PC as a kid, its the only Tycoon game i could ever get into, all the otherones are just boring to me.There is also this game called "The Sims: Bustin Out" its a single player sims game thats more of an RPG, you could try it.
get mad all you want, this is the future of gaming if you don't like being assraped by corpos
>>748425853nta but you have the whole Fire Emblem catalog, Tactics Ogre, Final Fantasy tactics. You can also play the Ogre Battle games which are real time strategy
>>748426886I played all those except Ogre Battle which has been on my list for a while. I should get around to it.
>>748426714the dream would be an ARM translation layer that lets people play all types of older PC games on cheap mobile hardware you can plug into anything.
>>748426714I've noticed more indie devs are making smaller games, easier to run on anything, prices are getting more expensive for consoles and pc, at the same time I'm seeing more information about modding and DIY hardware fabrication. Github is flooded with things to assist with that. I can kind of see where things are headed here. I hope it's not the future for too long. I don't want cloud gaming or AI assisted gaming or handheld gaming, I want my consoles and PC hardware at a reasonable price. I want everything to stay the same way it is now.
>>748410332>buy emulator handheld/steam deck>spend hours installing emulators and other shit onto it>collects dust inside my carrying case because I never leave the house
>>748413565>can barely play SNES/GBA gamesWhy do people buy such shit devices? I wouldn't buy one of those if it couldn't run Dreamcast smoothly.
>>748427193I want that too but it's out of our hands, this approach puts the control back in our hands (no pun intended)It's basically the Linux problem. If enough people moved over to it then the other OS's may change something or become more consumer-friendly, but while you're in their ecosystem they have you by the balls.
>>748427330Personally I don't really want to play anything more than PSX on a handheld.
>>748426623i mean the GBA sims bustin out game, not the ps2/gamecube
>>748427330R36S can play gba and snes perfectly fine. for snes wth the hih accuracy emus you might have to set the power profile to high performance though
>>748427854Ok, but why get something gimped from the start? Seems kinda dumb. If it can't even play 16 bit well, then what are you buying it for?
>>748428226Well I wouldn't get that handheld you're talking about. I was just replying to the dreamcast comment mainly
do these chinkhelds support all the gb/psp/ds multiplayer capabilities?
>>748410332Retroachivements has got me actually playing more old games versus just collecting them.A good frontend helps too like Playnite. >>748410798>>748418592Yeah even the N3DS sucks ass for emulation. It's good for 3DS and DS games, that's it. Hell even the Vita isn't very good for emulation, the CPU is too slow.
>>748419294You sound like you don't play games. ROMsets are cumbersome--that's why I just download what I want to play at the time and enjoy apps like pkgj. You are projecting massive insecurity
>>748410664R36S is less than 30 bucks and is good to see if you want one on your nightstand.
>>748428637>It's good for 3DS and DS games, that's it.Virtual Boy is at its best on the N3DS. You genuinely can't get any better.N3DS and Vita are both outdated. A $50 machine can do up to PS1 minus N64 just fine nowadays whereas both the N3DS and Vita struggle to even go up to around GBA. Unless they natively support the thing it's a crapshoot most of the time since they had to have bespoke ports made that never got updated.
>>748421654Not My Cup of... 20GNever sign up for fake ass nigger achievements.
>>748410332>I sure enjoy collecting roms more than actually playing the games.You have depression, anon. Gadgets won't help.
>>748424187They do tend to have batshit insane achievements in a bad and unfun way. I started an SH2 run, looked at the list, laughed at what I saw and never logged in again because who even cares that I wasted time I could have spent playing other games doing retarded shit like this, or going through the game with no map or speedkilling 150 enemies with the most dogshit imaginable combat ever conceived. I'm sure thry're all like this
>>748425551And what's wrong with that? Whenever I do want to play something new, I already have it available to me. I am not so fragile that having all 3 versions of a pokeshit game when only one of them is worth shit bothers me. >>748428853>You sound like you don't play gamesI do, here's my GBA retroachievements stats>ROMsets are cumbersomeLITERAL SKILL ISSUEImagine getting filtered by fucking romsets kek. Just download the whole thing, shove it inside your SD card, and never worry about having to download and transfer shit ever again. >You are projecting massive insecurityYou are the one literally projecting massive insecurity. You started your post by straight up projecting that I don't play vidya
>>748429206So you played 18 games out of thousands. Copepost.
>>748429206you are specifically the type of retard people make fun of here.
>>748429206That dude got under your skin, huh?
why does this trigger people so much, even if I downloaded 10k ROMs and played 1 on my chink machine how does that affect you? It's not like microtransactions where I am encouraging a bad practice. Just ridiculous how fucking miserable some people are. I hate so many of you because you won't be able to reply to this without buzzwords.
>>748429396Because it's performative behavior and makes talking about the games impossible since every discussion turns into "well my X can run Y!" Since no one is actually playing the games.
>>748429191>I'm sure thry're all like thisIt's mainly just the popular stuff or anything that would remotely be lenient towards speedrunning. If that game has a timer it's going to have something majorly autistic you can bet on it which is why you don't do any of the Metroid lists as you have to learn the speedrun route every time just because they added the special rewards for lower times.JRPGs require you to guide game due to them wanting you to 100% them including missables.Arcade games are always going to either be a damageless something or 1cc.For the most part nowadays they're going back to revise lists and stop achievements like that from existing because they realized that their list creators are genuine nutjobs who take the "Achievement" definition literally rather than adhering to how retail lists do stuff just with some more creative things that don't require full playthroughs to do. There's still a lot of tedium which is why if you're going to use the site at all you should look at the list before you start it, but it's gotten better over the past year or so.
>>748429314That's why he's so angry
>>748429206>Straight up admit to hoarding 8000 games and spending more time configuring your shit instead of playing themI mean kek.
>>748429295Again, what's the problem with that? 2 of those mastered games are megaman battle network 1 and 2. I am going to start battle network 3 soon. Since I am not fucking retarded, I can start MMBN3 whenever I feel like it right away. I don't need to go on a fucking autistic sidequest and download and transfer specifically that one game to start playing. Same will happen once I finish 3 and plan on starting 5, I already have both versions on 5 on my SD card.>>748429314I accept your concession>>748429393Nigger, I am pretty sure that the other guy is the one that got upset. Imagine getting mad at someone just because he has 100000000 games in his SD card but only plays like 3 of them, even though that this is objectively a more efficient way of playing vidya>>748429396I'm genuinely starting to believe that it's just mentally ill buyfags getting all uppity.
>>748428219It can handle everything up to PS1 just fine, at least the original one with full 1 gig of RAM. Still, I had more fun playing Yume Nikki fangames on it with EasyRPG core and various indieshit from Portmaster (mileage may vary, tobyslop and stuff like Meat Boy ran fine, but LISA games lag hard and I doubt that's due to hardware rather than lack of optimization).
>>748429568You're the only tripfag I trust on this site and I was going to hack my vita again and start Path of Radiance on my deck, so I'll take another look
>>748429658>Straight up admit to hoarding 8000 games and spending more time configuring your shit instead of playing themYou download a romset and transfer to your SD. The moment you configure one rom, the rest are all automatically configured as well. Are you that tech illiterate?ok now this anon is right >>748429393, I am now actually mad that I have to share this board with literal retards
>>748429665>I am going to start battle network 3 soon>soonIt's always "soon" with you types, isn't it?
>>748429751See >>748429598>>748429393>>748429314The point that you pretend not to understand is that you hoard thousands and thousands of games whilst playing less then 1% of them ever. If you don't get why that is retarded then I guess you will just be upset forever.
>>748410332I'll be totally honest here. I only got one because as a kid I never owned a gameboy. These things are nice, I bought another one for my 11yo niece for Christmas and she absolutely loves it. I only tried to play through Super Mario RPG on it.
uh oh melty
>>748429845This. After getting another 18000 games they will definitely get round to it and not just put the device in a draw and then buy a new one in 18 months time that is more powerful just so they download thousands of games they will never play all over again. Kek. The ultimate coonsoomer these devices are marketed towards.
>>748429738As I said you should look at the list before you ever touch any game you're about to start because the quality varies wildly.Pokemon, Metroid, Resident Evil, and Silent Hill lists should be outright ignored. It's just autism for the sake of it. Pokemon is somewhat acceptable for gens 1 and 2, or romhacks of gen 3 that don't go over 150ish Pokemon like Super Mariomon, but once you hit that point it's genuinely hours of just catching everything possible in the game and doing the extremely tedious Battle Facilities.Any game that is remotely similar to a DMC game should also be avoided unless you love to have the fun sucked out from it mandating max ranks.Mega Man Legends 1 for example was fun but 2 is a chore.Golden Sun 1 and TLA both have good lists it's DD that's bad but that's because of DD.Mario games in general are mostly fine though the NES ones can be a bit rough. It's the romhacks where the bad lists start as they expect you to enjoy Kaizo games.Final Fantasy lists are fine provided you guide game. The first one requires multiple playthroughs but the others aren't that tedious that I recall.Mega Man games are usually fair and fine though Zero is quite the mess as it requires S ranks of course.Kingdom Hearts games are basically retail lists with some interesting challenges thrown in to make it interesting here and there.Any game that requires a Japanese translation patch and isn't a JRPG also tends to have neat lists because they're doing it to help you have fun and sort of act as a pseudo guide rather than super challenging.
I feel like that'll happen to me when I get off my ass and get an FPGA device set up to play Saturn games, since it's the only console I've never had hands on with its games before.Least I should be able to get through Duke 3d & Burning Rangers before I get bored.
>>748429845See how you're projecting again? Here's the last game that I 100%'d this month because I was doing a Ratchet marathon. It was earlier this month. I'll start MMBN3 when I feel like it, specially since MMBN2 already burned the shit out of me since it required a second playthrough on hard mode. I currently am playing Chrono Ark after buying it on the new humble bundle, I am absolutely in no rush.>>748429876whatthefuckiswrongwiththatYou download a rompack and play what you want. No need to autisticly download more fucking games ever again, specially when rom websites keep shutting down all the time.Bro, don't ever pay for NSO, Nintendo will give you hundreds of retro games and you'll start to fucking panic for some autistic reason
>>748410332Got a rg405m after hearing so many good things about itIt broke after 4 months piece of shit. But it got me to play a lot of great games. Now I have a miyoo a30 which is pretty good with spruce. The dpad is ass though. The steam deck really is the best. But figuring out how to get retroarch working with both the deck and an 8bitdo was an hour fucking process
>>748430118>Resident evil and silent hill should be ignoredI mean origins and shattered memories have fun psp versions that are worth playing and designed for a small screen so okay I guess.
>>748430139You will definitely play like 3 games more before putting the device with 20k games away forever. Kek.
>>748430139The reason people are clowning on you is because you're supposed to thin the entire herd down of games to only what you would reasonably want to play and ignore the duplicates, multiple regions, and incorrect versions. Packs typically do not have properly hashed versions of games either that match official dumps especially if they have pre-applied translation patches so they don't always work with R-A either.You're supposed to curate them because the five seconds it takes to move something via FTP to your card is much much shorter than it takes to scroll through your list trying to get to a game you didn't favorite. All you are doing is adding a ridiculous amount of tedium to your life scrolling through insane lists just for the sake of of not having to transfer anything to it ever again when you should be doing the opposite which is curate your entire list and piecemeal add to it if you find something that interests you.>>748430254I'm talking about RetroAchievement lists, not the games themselves.
>>748430254Origins was built for PSP (then ported to PS2). I was under the impression the non-Wii versions of Shattered Memories sucked though?
>>748430089>consoom free pirated romsthis is why you come across as an idiot btw
>>748410332I always got the feeling that the people that buy into this fad have more fun setting up the frontend and putting all their roms into it than they do actually playing any of the games.
>>748414838>World 1-1 clearly on the screenSo you don't actually play it, you just set up photo shoots to post online for upboats.
>>748430930If you're feeling it then it must be true
>>748430930>i have the feeling that [thing OP was flat out saying]
>>748430930>>748431242>>748430993I've got a feeling...Deep inside of me...
>>748430318ok but that's no different than my childhood PS1 that only had like 4 games and that I never proceeded to pick it ever again after getting my PS2>>748430351>The reason people are clowning on you is because you're supposed to thin the entire herd down of games to only what you would reasonably want to play and ignore the duplicates, multiple regions, and incorrect versions. Packs typically do not have properly hashed versions of games either that match official dumps especially if they have pre-applied translation patches so they don't always work with R-A either.Again: SKILL ISSUEThere were literally torrents, I think on myrient, that were straight up called retroachievements ready romsets. You download that shit, you don't get any duplicates, you're set for life>You're supposed to curate them because the five seconds it takes to move something via FTP to your card is much much shorter than it takes to scroll through your list trying to get to a game you didn't favoriteAre you absolutely fucking mental?????? What you just said is entirely fucking retardLet's analyse your method:Download 4 games. If you had to download each game individually, then sorry, your method is already beyond inefficient and slow. If you downloaded a torrent romset and then ticked only the roms that you wanted, then that's literally no different than favoriting.Alright, now we both have our games in our SD. You have your 4 games, I have my 999999 games. You're good to go. Me on the other hand, now I have to use the shortcut to search a game, type the first 2 letters to find it, mark it as favorite and I am done Both our game lists now have a small amount of games. My method was as fast as yoursNOW HERE'S THE REAL BULLSHITYou finish your 4 shitty games and you want a new one. You have to go back to step fucking 1. Me on the other hand, all I have to do is exit from the favorite games views to return to the full list and search for my game again. Why does tilt you?
>>748431383>ok but that's no different than my childhood PS1 that only had like 4 games and that I never proceeded to pick it ever again after getting my PS2Because the PS2 is backwards compatible with PS1 games, you didn't need to keep both.
>>748431483Who cares? I still tossed it away>uhhhh no it's le bad because... muh ROM boogeyman
>>748426623Iove Theme Park World. RCT is what made the gaming light bulb go off for me.
>>748410332>add all my favorite gamesthe only way to enjoy these things is to hoard all of your roms on your computer ssd, and only put a few short pickup and play games and one or two larger games at a time. I use mine fairly often, but it rarely has more than 5 games installed.
>this thread
>>748432234change that to>I have 4000 games and I just waste time on 4chan
>>748432338I am wage slaving and I don't have my gook toy with me right now
>>748432234Penis.png Thats a kek
I just use my homebrew 3DS for this purpose. I'll be really sad when it finally kicks the bucket but it's good to know there will be alternatives out there I guess.
>>7484332273DS is weak, it can barely handle PSX. even $50 chinkhelds can do that. It's good for its native library though
Problem I have with a lot of these emulator handhelds is that the controls usually feel like cheap shit. Generally better off just grabbing a collapsible controller to slot my phone into.
>>748411258>fuel>generator>he doesn't have solar panels>he doesn't have wind turbine
>>748433302Yeah I just use it for all kinds of gameboy shit. Don't feel the need to emulate other systems on it.
>>748433375Like most things there are grades of quality. If you buy a $30 handheld you will get what you pay for, but the higher end devices have proper controls and hall effect sticks. Some of them are straight up better than most controllers on the market - but you will be paying for it, and when these things start getting to $200+ people get put off and I understand why.
>>748410332This is what every person who buys these devices or mods a system does. They pack it full of games and play Super Mario World for a level or two and then hit Youtube to find the next chinkshit emulation device to buy and set up. It's mental illness.
>>748410332I got that, it's a piece of garbage, the dpad and buttons are terrible and so it's the emulation
>>748424921Video games are very boring
>>748433839>and when these things start getting to $200+ people get put off and I understand why.And even then, at higher price points like that, I'm expecting to be able to do more with it. Eg. If it's powerful enough to emulate N64/PS2/whatever, then I would hope it's running Android so I can also play shit off of that store as well.Unless it happens to be a handheld PC/SteamDeck clone, in which case the expectancy is already there to let me load whatever its CPU can handle.
>>748434772$200 chinkhelds are generally all running android and capable of ps2/gc/wii
>>748410332>>748413565>>748414761>>748414907I know nothing about these. So what's the best one of these to get?
>>748434941there's a billion of them so it mostly depends on what performance and form factor you want
>>748433961nah>>748434772$200 is the android PS2 category.
>>748434941Do you understand phones? They use the same chipsets minus the 5G.
>>748410332Try beating one of your tried and true classics on it. Like Mario or Sonic, or whatever that was childhood favorite of yours. For me it's either metal gear solid or devil may cry 1. Playing one of those to completion usually breaks the decision fatigue and gets me to start playing other games again.
>>748410332>>748410332>>add all my favorite games and games that I want to play>>scrape all of the boxart and info for the games so that the menu looks nice>>never touch the device againhow do we fix this conundrum?
>>748435092I would basically only use it to play older stuff, PSP, PS1, maybe DS games. I wouldn't wanna play PS2 games or beyond on a handheld. What's a good one for that?
>>748434941depends on budget and demands.like you wont need some $300 dual screen beast if you just want to play NES tetris.
>>748435490A regular PSP or Vita can do that, same with any phone post Sony Xperia.
>>748435443Make better gamesIf watching paint dry is more fun than playing kirby and the amazing mirror, then you know you fucked up
>>748410332>>scrape all of the boxart and info for the gamesWaste of time and storage space.
>>748435490mangmi air x will handle those, but honestly so can a psp or vita
>collectingThere's a board for this retarded behavior. This one is for playing.
>>748428909While they're technically outdated, you have to shell out clams to match them in build quality, feel, size and input latency all in one package. It's trivial to overclock the Vita if you need more power and get a L2/R2 grip if you need those and L3/R3. You can't get stereoscopic 3D and native backwards compatible library much where else either (GB, GBC, GBA and DS for 3DS, PSP and PS1 for Vita).All the Android changhelds in particular have embedded OS level latency no matter what (run ahead and 120hz only goes so far).I'm happy with my Steam Deck OLED but it is a hulking creaky piece of shit and you absolutely have to mod the d-pad and buttons to not suck.
>>748413565Mine looks like that, but it's called the RG 300IPS. You gotta hold it at an angle so the battery doesn't slide out of the connector.
>>748435490for PSP and PS1 you will get something good for about $50 from Ambernic or Miyoo.>>748435556>>748435638recommending a vita or PSP for that is stupid.vitas are expensive and PSPs are ancient with questionable build quality and one garbage slide stick.
>>748435856>get something good for about $50 from Ambernich700 devices are a bit weak for psp
>>748435856Vitas are dirt cheap on yahoo jp and region free and PSP is dirt cheap as well.I was emulating PS1 games on PSP like 15 years ago.
>>748414032Lets see your hands.
>>748417493>the 40 just gets to be notably more hotThat's an understatement. Out of all of Anbernigs offerings, the RG40XX is the one that's most likely be a fire hazzard.
>>748410332Does this thing have CRT shaders ?
>>748433375My problem is the opposite: I need retroid to start making controllers.>>748434772It's not 2023 anymore, this chip powers every $250 chinkheld.https://youtu.be/-aI_XEwmKFk?t=3534>>748436068Not really, too weak.
>>748435717>/v/ playing games
>>748434941Objectively? RP6, O2P, RPNova. You may get some mileage out of $50 toasters like OP's (while also learning the higher end systems they advertised with were total bullshit), but you're 100% buying something else if you do, I guarantee you.
>>748435614>not playing it co-opwell there's your problem
>>748410332If it makes you feel any better, I've been compelled to buy this entire stack of games and haven't played any of them. I played bananza for a half hour, sf6 for a half hour, and kirby air ride for a half hour. Thats IT. Theres also tons of games in my digital library. All untouched. No idea why I am like this or what its gonna take to get me gaming again
>>748411258>>748433462https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuSEoq0MFLM
>>748437174At least in your case, the games (and console) still hold resale value. I got myself a few unplayed Switch games, but it was a case of finding shit to throw in the backlog that I nabbed real cheap.
>>748437174>what its gonna take to get me gaming againstep 1.make a list of al the games you want to play. not the games you feel you _should_ play, but the games you actually want to play.step 2. rank them.step 3. begin at the top.
I picked up a retroid pocket and got retroarch working great on it for fb/snes games. Does anyone know if the ps2 emulator does the rewind function? I want to load the metal slug anthology on it and would like to be able to rewind.
>>748437345baby mode: Go to howlongtobeat.comStart with games that you can beat in under 4 hours.
>>748437174Stop trying to play bad games.>but-Shhhh. Play videogames because you want to play them, not because your eceleb told you to.
>>748436518Don't know what O2P is (Odin 2?) but the Retroid Pocket 6/Nova is way overkill and high priced for the up to PSP and DS emulation that anon wants. >>748434941>>748435490I'd rec the Miyoo Flip V2. Moderately cheap, has great feeling controls and handles up to DS and PSP fine though with the compromise of having less view for the second screen.
>>748437518These are all games that I personally looked forward to and wanted to play on my own accord. I don't watch any youtubers or follow any gaming websites. I just end up doomscrolling all day instead of loading a game up. If 4chan didn't exist I would have beat and sold all these by now
>>748410332I got one of these but n64 games ran like shit because retroarch and other cores cannot run n64 games properly in general. Also it had emulator for ps2 and shit but it lacks the specs for it. Liked that it had integrated support for Boktai sun sensor
>>748428909N3DS is definitely outdated and hella overpriced at this point, but it's perfectly fine for emulating all Nintendo handhelds, as well as 16 bit systems like the SNES and Genesis. Hell it can even do PS1 reasonably well. I can't recommend it because of its ridiculous price at this point, but it's at least a decent portable emulation machine. I've got a lot of mileage out of mine.I think before anyone gets one of those emulation handhelds, they should just emulate some games on their computer and see if they actually play them for more than 10 minutes. Far too many people get one a handheld, dump a bunch of roms on it, then never touch any of them.
>>748437604Odin 2 Portal. There is no good PSP machine below that. RP5 is too expensive to be worth getting at this point, Mangmi Air X and RGVita too shit. >>748437671>These are all games that I personally looked forward to and wanted to play on my own accord. I don't watch any youtubers or follow any gaming websites. And you end up with some homogeneous turbo mainstream pile without a single outlier somehow? Nah.
>>748437996>And you end up with some homogeneous turbo mainstream pile without a single outlier somehow? Nah.English doc
>>748437996It's not that hard with such a limited library.
>>748410332>buy chink handheld for around 200€>download hundreds of GBA, NDS, PSP and PS1>it basically becomes my main gaming platform because I travel a lot for workBest purchase I've ever made when it comes to tech. I was a fool messing about with emulators on my phone.
>>748410404Either way you're really collecting something inside of your mind.
>>748434941>>748435490seconding the mangmi air x >>748435638in fact, I would buy the cheapest one of these 3 you could find:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a_v996dHXSI
>>748437996>bro your PERSONAL collection that NOBODY else will ever have to look at or interact with is SOOO MAINSTREAM BROOyou are a braindead faggot
>>748440602I'm seeing and interacting with it, as he begs for validation.
>>748410332Sounds like a (You) problem. These cheap little fucks are great for PS1, Arcade and old handheld titles.
>>748410332>>buy emulator handheld>>don't play romsFunny, I didn't buy anything at all, I just downloaded roms on my computer, and played thousands of them. Maybe you're just a consoomer faggot?
>>748410332Crazy input lag in that video. I wouldn't play that mfer either
>>748410404Im sorry the value of your collection that you spent a fortune on isn't interesting to some people
>>748440672>validation>his post ends with a lament about himself and not playing his gamesI fucking hate all of you so much please just learn to read without projecting your own shit onto it all the fucking time
>>748433462>>748437248Killing people for their fuel is free (I also take their ammunition so I can kill more people for their fuel)
>>748410332being a data hoarder is fun though, at least while it lasts. plus you get to have an emergency entertainment device in case you have to go to the hospital or something
>>748410332You are a fake gamer you care more about touching plastic boxes like faggot than playing the meat which are games. No get off my board and go to /vr/ where you can jerk off with other fellow zoomoids and talkabout "retro" games like Fifa 17 on ps3 or Team Fortress 2 (on xb360)
>>748441076>at least while it lasts.My setup is a Raid 1 array that backs up to a drive I keep cold storage about once every six months.If the array dies, the cold storage will restore my data, and vice versa.So,... I'm hopeful I'm goo-*power failure*
>>748441275Some people have decades of video game experience and they saw it all. They just want to play a new kind of game which is collecting games in various forms. Let's have more understanding.
>>748428637So what's the difference between Playnite and Retroarch versus dedicated emulators?
>>748417493>>748419264>>748435991Got it, thank you guys very much :)There are so many models that it was hard understand the differences.
>>748410332try the play/stop/play method. basically just play and immediately stop when you feel like you're forcing yourself to keep playing. take a break for a few dozen minutes to an hour and try again. over time and consistency your brain will get comfortable and you'll naturally and easily play. i could barely play silent hill for more than 5 minutes but now i'm playing at least an hour or two every day
>>748410332got one of those recently and been using it more than my steam deck for gba games and other simpler stuff
>>748410332>download mGBA>download roms>actually play them
>>748442685>physicaltroons have to use complex mental gymnastics and psychological conditioning strategies to justify their purchases
>give yourself choice paralysis by installing 1000s of games at once>complain you can't choose
How's the Retroid Pocket Duo Lite? Can it run 3DS/Vita games or just PSP/DS?
>>748410332And then bully the companies on social media that you got their games they never want to release again for free.Thats the best.
niggas just bounce between all your games who gives a fuck that's the point
>>748437996>RP5 is too expensive to be worth getting at this point, Mangmi Air X and RGVita too shit.You meant the RP6? They discontinued basically everything before the 6 and are having a clearance sale right now.
>>748443641>Duo liteAbsolute dogshit. The RG DS Plus is better at a lower price, but not really enough for 3DS. Or wait to see how the Lite+ and regular Duo shake out, that should handle 3DS fine.
>>748444035No, I mean the RP5. Not worth it at its price when a little more for the RP6 nets near double performance.
>>748443641Terrible, the chip is weak and it gets choppy maxing out, and the stick is switch garbage. Barely and poorly. Move up to the Duo or a non-Lite Thor if you value sticks, also keep in mind Vita emulation is shoddy.
>>748444148Yeah, fair enough. I figure they are being cautious with the price cuts because if the discounts were more substantial they'd be sold out within the hour, so why throw away free money
>>748444148The EOL discount makes the RP5 more appealing desu. You don't need a RP6 if you're not emulating Switch or PC games.
>>748440895Thwbjs for sticking up for me. That guy definitely had no idea what he was talking about
>>748444405It is relevant for high end PS2.
>>748424349Yeah, 50-75km rides. During food breaks I can finish a level or practice a shmup. I don't game during a short after work ride.>>748430987I grew up with PCs and never played NES.
>>748443639I'm the guy with a mountain of unpaid switch games and this is exactly my problem, other than being addicted to doom scrolling. In addition to all the Switch shit I have a hacked 3ds loaded with at lewst a hundred games. Doubt I'll ever play them, despite the effort it took to install them all
>>748445026>unpaid*unplayed
>>748437604is this the best GBA SP clone with 2 sticks? been looking for some since its the best handheld form factor
>>748410332I did this with my retroid pocket mini V2. it's awesome when it is set up but I was just playing games I was nostalgic for for a bit then lost interest now it is sitting with my 3ds in a bin. I kinda regret not getting something more powerful though. and i dont know if this is the device for me. it's great for 4:3 classics but not really gamecube/ps2 stuff. I listened to that fucker retro game corps
>>748445026Just slap a Switch game in, and keep it at your desk/wherever you generally hang. Maybe you're watching a Youtube video that's not intensive. You could play your Switch while that's running.It's generally what I use my handhelds for.
>>748445213Your two options are the Miyoo Flip and RG34XXSP. Pick depending on which screen you prefer.
>>748410332Emulation is soulless
>>748429206
>>748445596So is running these games through a shitty composite output with all of the luminance bleeding.
>>748445315I gotta start doing this. I'm definitely not buying any new games other than godzilla and not until I've beaten some of my backlog. Although if Claire obscure got ported suddenly I would instantly play that. Same with stage tour, no matter how bad the song list is I'll play that immediatelyI'm just a weird autist I think
>>748440857it's fine, laughing at poorfags and their cope mechanisms it's always a fun time
>>748410332i think you have autism
>>748434941Depends on what you want. Want to collect literally the original games? LIke buy them second hand? Get some recreated FPGA device. Wanna just slog through whatever roms you want, so long as you know how to work an emulator? Pick a chinkheld, though anbernic and retroid are the main ones to talk about it. Want to collect physical and explore little curated mini collections? Evercade.Personally I do evercade for the novelty and curated experience, and ROMs on my PC/Phone for everything else.
>>748430387Origins is best on psp I played the PS2 version and it's too dark. The psp version is literally good for shattered memories.
>>748430780>Still seething>>748431383>>748431608This thread was made to laugh at people like you and you literally don't get why even when it has been pointed out. >>748429845
>>748441930You can use Playnite with Retroarch. Playnite just looks nicer and modern. RA's UI is decent if you customize it i guess.
>>748446110Oh no, I don't have precious atoms or specific arrangements atoms around me. How can I survive this?
>>748445596Why say this when you collect for cheap systems? If you collected N64 games or even NES games then it would be a flex. This shit can be bought off eBay for a few hundred at most.
>>748446480>he's still seethingkek
>>748437174there is something wrong with you. I just beat kirby return to dreamland. beat bananza, played splatoon raiders for hours, and splatoon 2 and 3 . and i played the crap out of air riders
>>748446616I know there is something wrong with me I'm trying to get to the bottom of it. Because these games weren't free
>have new 3ds lying around>haven't touched it in half a decade at least>randomly decide to get it running homebrew>do it>now playing free games every nightfeels good to actually enjoy games and not be some normie consumer
>>748446614>Instant replyWait you are not busy playing the 8000 Roma you got fagit? >>748430351
>>748446712well stop doom scrolling its a waste of fucking time. yes I have basically been on my phone since this morning and on 4chan but at some point you just gotta stop and start playing some games which im about to do
>>748446778Just don't load it with a hundred games st once. Stick to the games you're playing, beat themzm and then install new ones. Otherwise you're gonna end uo like me with choice paralysis
>>748446812>2 minutes>instantActually really fucking sad. Anon go grab your meds
>>748446863Doesn't happen to me so it's not an issue. I just downloaded everything I want to play and am going through the list.
>>748446889Still copeposting
I have a miyoo mini that I use pretty much exclusively on planes.I do play stuff on it, but honestly it's more used by me as a 4:3 media player. I watched the original DB and DBZ on a couple long haul flights I had a couple years back.I wouldn't really say they're worth $80 though.It's REALLY hard to justify any dedicated handheld because your phone is as strong, or stronger as an emulation device, and sure "I don't want to use touchscreen controls" but that's why you just... get a controller. I don't know many people without a controller for their PC, just pair it up. OOr you can even buy dedicated devices like backbones for your phone, for much less.And yeah, 90% of the time nowadays if I'm emulating I just use my phone with a backbone, 0 latency, and for anything gen 5 and older, full speed. gen 6 it's pretty good on most games, too.If I'm somewhere I have time to whip out a dedicated gaming device and play shit, I can set my phone up, too.
>>748446856Thats my problem, I doomscroll all fucking day. I don't even enjoy it, this site is full of evil people trying to steal your loose. I have a genuine addiction to scrolling that I need to replace with gamingI know what to do, its just executing it thats difficult for mr
>>748446975>still seethinghere's your instant reply so you feel better
>>748447008Obviously we are not the same person, but what worked for me was setting dedicated times, and I'd reboot my computer (though I'm definitely more a pc than a phone guy, so maybe that's not the same for you), so nothing was open, nothing cached or stored, and then I'd just boot something up on steam, whatever grabbed my eye first.Usually I'd get sucked in.Turning off my second monitor helped too, since I couldn't just open youtube on another monitor then stop paying attention to the game.
>>748410332because its too small. its designed to sell and not actually to be used. have you ever tried playing on that device? your hands go numb
>>748447201it's pocketable, like a handheld should be
*makes chimps seethe*
>>748447201All these chinkhelds are the same and low quality, I don't understand why we have daily threads about them
>>748447241Pocketable but not ergonomic
>>748447270No one is seething about your library. We're just confused ehy you're playing your library on such shitty hardware thats gonna fail you in less than s year
>>748447201huh? would you say the same thing about a gbc? a gba sp?
Is Anbernic still worth buying? What are the best models so far?
>>748412018>You have too much choice.Unironically a skill issue, I have a chinkheld that can run vidya up to and including the PSP and I have entire US romsets for every console up to N64 on it (since disc based games and NDS games are too big) but I use it plenty and play games on it almost every day.I essentially just play whatever sounds interesting or the games that have interesting descriptions, if I like them I put them in my "Favorites" category. That way I have thousands of games on it but only play maybe 5 at a time with a few standout games that I like enough to never remove from my fav list, once I'm done with a game I put it in a "Cleared" category and go on to pick a few more and continue the cycle.I spend about an hour a day playing on it (mostly on my commute home and/or while half-awake on the sofa after work) and so far I've gotten through about 300 games on it. As long as you have a proper system in place then you can easily finish and enjoy hundreds if not thousands of retro games, you just need to force yourself to play games that you otherwise wouldn't and be self aware enough to know when you've given a game a fair enough chance to hook you and then move on.Retro Vidya is also much better for the brain than scrolling or playing slop F2P vidya on your phone, you usually have a clear start and end to them and they aren't designed to directly fuck with your brain chemistry and instead are just fun distractions while your stuck waiting for something.
>>748447384>We're just confused ehy you're playing your library on such shitty hardware thats gonna fail you in less than s yearLearn to treat your toys better Jamal
>>748447454Yes, you TOTALLY play all those games :)
>>748447525Its literally made of cheap plastic and assembled by 7 year olds in a factory. They don't care about making a good product thay will last, their just meming it up for a quick bag
>>748447596not him but it took me just under 10 years to finish snes/genesis libraries, front to back, US+JP (for games I could understand anyway).It does not take as much time as you think to get through these games. SO many games are only a few hours long until gen 6.
>>748447416anbernig xx handhelds are a safe bet, idk about the more expensive android ones
>>748437174The problem is that it's an addiction. You get dopamine hits from your collecting these things. Make up some rules for yourself to follow:1. Buy more games than X per month (the lower the better)2. Pick a game. Any game, just as long as it isn't 50+ hours to beat. You have to beat this one. You're not allowed to play anything else until you beat this one (only exception is if you have some game you "need" to play with friends or whatever).3. Once you've beaten the game in step 2, pick a new one and follow the same rules.Following these steps, you will wane off your dumb behaviour. But make sure you don't pick a game that's too long for step 2: when I had the same dumb addiction as you, and wanted to do something about it I picked Persona 3 Reloaded. I didn't like it, and 50 or so hours in I wanted to strangle myself
>>748447008once you open up 4chan it gets addictive for the rest of the day. I've been on this shithole since I was like 14 and now i'm about to be 32. at some point I have to stop coming here because I really dont want to be that loser guy who comes to 4chan in his mid 30s or 40s especially when i get a girlfriend. i managed to stop coming here for many months once when I had a lot of shit together. my phone is the next thing I have to control. when im on my pc im usually on youtube or on a game on my switch or ps5. clean your room, exercise, will help you get into a better mindset. fill your day with other things. get a pet. playing games is actually much better for your brain than doomscrolling
>>748447649What do you recommend then?
>>748410332My steam deck oled can emulate almost everything except I don't like playing dual screen games on it. Enter the retroid pocket duo. I'm not usually in the handheld market but this thing is the closest one to doing it right.
>>748447694Yes, this is good advice>>748447736Exactly, you understand. Ive spent all day every day on this loosh sucking site since I was 17, I'm 33 now. It literally doesn't make sense for us to out this content in our brains, but its so easily available you just open clober when you wake up like its second nature and there goes your whole day. Arguing with morons and Indians, being forced to witness the ai garbage they make, its all dogshit for the brain
>>748447798A hacked 3ds. If you wantnto play newer games, emulate on pc.
>>748421654>sign up for faggotry so we can collect your dataNope.
>>748429191look at the super mario 64 achievements, these people are fucked in the head, you HAVE to use glitches to complete that (kicking to go up the slope to get the fastest time in the first koopa race). And shit like "collect all 8 red coins in dire dire docks while submarine is still there". And YES I did everything and mastered the set. Other sets are better but it's frustrating that the quality varies so much. Fuck speedrunners man.
>>748447989*put*clover
>>748448040Gaming was never meant to be about cheeks. Its a cancer
>>748448028Yeah noMy 2DS's battery has swollen. Twice. I don't feel like ordering a second battery for such an unreliable device. Maybe I will buy the battery once someone translates etrian mystery dungeon 2.>>748448028>emulate on pcthe 'ick on 'eck costs $1000. I want to play shit while I take a shit.tl;dr; chinkhelds are far more reliable
>>748421654and have them dox me if I ever somehow play a game they don't like? no fucking way. especially not since they let the tcrf schizo into the staff, who has shown he's willing to dox and try to damage computers of people he doesn't like (or people tangentially related to those people).No. Fucking. Way.
>>748448040Sounds fun. Maybe you should just gitgudscrub?
>>748448329>reading comprehension
>>748448224Just buy a new hacked 3ds on ebay and throw away your 2ds. I got mine for like 80 bucksAs far as pc emulation goes, its just the most accurate way to play these games compared o chinhelds. Obviously its got limitations and gates but if you truly care about gaming you'll do it anyway
>>748410332I dumped my roms and their saves so I could play them on the RG34, it's fun
>>748410332I want one of these that is less ugly like give it trans colors and maybe some stickers
>>748447989yeah you gotta find a way out. sometimes i'll see some post i want to argue with or a shitpost i wanna shit on. and i start typing it all then i'm like you know what I don't fucking care and just delete it all without posting. i'm at that point now. i used to use clover then switched to KurobaEx but then I uninstalled the app since I dont even want to have access to 4chan like that. I think having access to lots of active people is also part of it because maybe we crave a bit of connection, even if its with a fucking retard. but thats sad. my big thing is I always come here to see game news and what these fuckers are reacting to now. if anything, instead of just deleting this place from your life entirely, just make games and other stuff a bigger priority. they say we are here forever but that's just cope from the ones who know they will be and they dont have the will to change.
>>748448405It's still a faggot issue. You got filtered and had to constantly watch guides on how to master the game, hence why you are hatting it. For any other player, everything would come up naturally.
>>748448731You are projecting way too much, I never said any of these things. You lack basic reading comprehension
>>748448441>Just buy a new hacked 3ds on ebay and throw away your 2ds.I wouldn't have needed to do that had I bought a chinkheld instead. Just sayan>I got mine for like 80 bucksHow many years ago?
>>748448584You're right on the money. I come here to argue with retards and its pointless. I love following dev news of games I want to play but it always comes with some pajeet trying to gain izzatbby being s negative asshole. That's the problem with the whole site, we crave connection nut we still treat each other like trash. And it just gets old. Its not good for your brain. I gotta find a eay to limit my time jere
>>748448878Why did you hate the set then?
>>748448921The 3ds is bult with quality unlike bathe chinkheld though. The chinkheld will fail you after a year. A 3ds will keep chugging, and its far more ergonomically. Thats why all the chinohelds try to copy its designI got it for 80 bucks like 2 years ago. It was just some random guy who only played Pokémon on it and wanted to get rid of it. You can find lucky deals like that
>>748449135>The 3ds is bult with qualitylmaolmao even
>>748448970God so many typos, sorry I'm on a lot of lyrica and its making me text gast without checking for errors
>>748449135>The 3ds is bult with quality unlike bathe chinkheld though. And yet you're telling me to throw away mine>and its far more ergonomically.Objectively wrong. >You can find lucky deals like thatAre those lucky deals with us in the room right now? Do feel free to link me one though
>>748449174It is. Show me an example of it failing or breaking. Its like 10 years old and used ones still work perfectly
>>748449236https://lmgtfy.com/?q=3ds+hinge+crackhttps://lmgtfy.com/?q=3ds+paint+chippinghttps://lmgtfy.com/?q=3ds+scratches+on+top+screenhttps://lmgtfy.com/?q=3ds+battery+swollen
>>748449236Oh yeah,https://lmgtfy.com/?q=3ds+circle+pad+rubber+fell+off
>>748449210I'm telling you to throw away the 2ds because you said the battery is about to explode and you don't play it.Its definitely economic, only gets tricky with games like the Paulutina game, oh its called kid icarus, I forgot temporarilyI'm not gonna search for a deal for you unless you pay me, I'm just saying they're out therr if you dig for yourself
>>748449365A bunch of let me google that for you links that bring uo no relevant content? Thats youur arguement?
>>748445596>AGP
>>748449525Your stroke is warranted. Anyone who was there for the 3DS knows these.
>>748449442If you abuse the circle pad in games like smash or kid icarus thats you're own fault. Play like a gamer, not s caveman
>>748449581I have a used 3ds with no issues. Thats my experience with it. Whats my "stroke"?
>>748449613>don't use your analog input>don't play games>don't close your clamshell>don't pocket your clamshellIt's like I'm really in 2013 again.
>>748449442oh look, the same issue that I got I then used super glue to stick the fucker back in but still fell>>748449445>you said the battery is about to explode I already removed it. It would have exploded and burn my house if I hadn't done that.>and you don't play it.WELL FUCKING DUHThis shit doesn't even work if you play it connected with an AC adapter. No wonder I'm not fucking playing>I'm not gonna search for a deal for you unless you pay mek>>748449613>J-J-J-JUST DON'T PLAY GAMES LOL!!!!Reminds me of the niggers that defended joycon drift on the Shitch because they hadn't gotten it yet. I got mine after a single year of playing. Then I bought the gulkit analog stick and it's still working.
>>748449802wow, that looks disgusting.do you faggots have permanent chicken nuggie hands or something?when I was little every one of my friends handhelds looked like this too
>>748449956I bought it used (just like how you're telling me to do right now)Also, it's dirty because it's been gathering dust for at least 2 years My chinkheld on the other hand looks pristine
>>748450115>just like how you're telling me to do right nownot everyone in the anonymous image board is the same person>I bought it used>Also, it's dirty because it's been gathering dust for at least 2 yearsthen it's all good
>>748449796Or... Just don't be a nigger with your tech products?
>>748444446fuck that guy
>>748449802As angry as you are we appear to be in agreement
>>748451091Yeah I meant to say THANKS BTW my ohones autocorrect is schizo
>>748434941I got a R36S on aliexpress for 18 dollars when they were running a sale and it plays everything up to psx which it also plays well i never changed the micro sd it came with and its held up since for months now i take everywhere with my camera in the same bag because it's small. its the perfect chinkslop handheld for the best price
>>748410332this... hits too close to home
>>748447278only an issue with pressing the shoulder buttons on a gbc like handheld since that form factor was never designed for thatotherwise it feels almost the same as the original consoles they are copying
>>748451241>i never changed the micro sd it came with and its held up since for months nowyou should at least make a full backup of the card (including the partitions) on your pc just in case, those cheap sd cards can die at any second
