Is the trimui smart pro good for psp games now? I wanted a device which can play up to psp under 100€ with 16:9. Otherwise I just get the RGB30 and play non psp games.
>>
>>10870206
No, is not perfect. And I doubt you can get the perfect device for psp emulation under 100$ unless it is second hand. They haven't finished the vulkan implementation though and batocera is coming soon.

So I looked into the RGB30 a little bit and people suggest to go 8:7 ratio on the SNES, NES, GameBoy but I'm also really interested in PS1 emulation, how would that work, is it also 8:7?

I didn't like how the live action show changed the message of the graphic novel. But there were several moments that were spot on with my mom, and how I can relate to the dad.

I've no reason to play P3P but I've had no huge issues with D2, TO, FFTA & MGA so far. I wish I had more time to play more PSP but I'm juggling too many games and FF XI atm and won't have a chance to really dig in until it approaches autumn.
So long as you set your expectations it should be manageable, it can do PSP at 1x & 2x fairly competently and Vulkan is available (while not perfect) too. If you're looking to do 1:1 or 3x res for everything then that's where it's more likely to fall apart.

If PSP is make or break and you can get a Vita for around the same price you can always go down that road but they're about on par with each other imo.
>>
>>10870679
If a choice between a Vita and a PSP, the Vita is definitely the way to go even having to deal with the proprietary memory, unless over the years a third party has made a work around or some sort of microSD adapter shaped like the Vita's memory card.

Gameforce 2 run JELOS now and is on par with Odin 1/RP4/RG556. Unfortunately it has d-pad in the WRONG location. There's also the Powkiddy RGB10 Max 3 Pro that is kind of close to the power of a T618, but I've read there are still software issues with that one.

If you're okay with a massive drop in power though and don't really care about playing PSP/N64/Dreamcast/Saturn: RG Arc, RGB30, and Trimui Smart Pro are the best ones imo, the latter of which being by far the cheapest if you're willing to look around on Ali.

I'm in the US so this gives me hope.

>>10872041
I think so. It fits the bill for me entirely. I just want one device that can play as much as possible and save me from buying multiple devices down the line. I really think it's somewhat future proof too. The hardware isn't a problem; the emulation software actually becomes the bottleneck with the Odin 2. With that being said, can't wait to see where Retroid goes with the eventual 5/5 Pro and also keeping an eye on the Ayaneo Pocket S even though I wouldn't be surprised if that runs $500+.

Get the latest beta, it's 20-30 seconds at most, less depending on how many games you have on it.

I got roughly three or four hours on Megaman Legends from full.
>has a better on off function
You literally tap the power button and it suspends it, then tap it again after the power icon is off and it boots up in like four seconds.

Supposedly KNULLI is going to improve this even more but right now that thing's in a messy state.

Have a RG351MP but I kinda wanna go back to a gradient-color RG280M for its form factor and overall looks. How's the CFW scene on those nowadays?

They sold the Ayaneo Pocket Air for about $300, $278 IIRC if you backed it early. With that 1440p and powerful processor there's no way it'll retail for anything less than $450, $400 minimum as a reward for early bird backers.

The Nintendo DS is good for playing Super Mario 64 (and I don't mean Super Mario 64 DS). The problem is that they're "only" good and not fantastic/perfect so you can squeeze every minuscule movement out of Mario.

"Shake test" is purely a Reddit meme, unironically, where the Redditor autists genuinely believe that every button should be perfectly form fitting, but also have a wide range of use, and also be invincible. The buttons "rattling" when you shake the device is one of their three retarded tests to determine if it's "quality" or not. For all they fucking know the rubber switches on a handheld could be so fucking stiff that the buttons can't even be reliably pressed and released, but Reddit will see it as a flawless test pass because there was no rattling.
There was a short period during Q3/Q4 2023 and Q1 2024 where reviewers begrudgingly mentioned, "a lot of you keep asking me to do the rattle test like you're a fucking infant looking at a review for a rattle" before giving it two quick shakes and moving on. That's coming from the Reddit comment sections when their videos are posted to Reddit.

SD card, skraper (gotta copy the imgs over manually) then make sure you download the 1.0.4 update if it's not already installed (mine came with .3) and you'll be golden.
The menus suck, the OS isn't too intuitive control wise but it's solid enough. After that all you have to do is sort up RA properly, save configs on quit, per game etc.

My fav shake test was with I think either the RGB30 or the TrimUI by some south african guy in his late 30's. He complained about the battery rattling around, pointed to things with his reddit pocket knife opened it and found that it wasn't the battery rattling around at all.
All while titled like clickbait going against the grain of the current YT video and marketing sphere where he ultimately recommends it.

Diving back into the world of chinkhelds after awhile since the 556 seems to be my white whale in terms of screen, power and size and I've got it on the way, I've heard the sticks are shit but I bought some replacements to mod.

Is Daijisho still the frontend of choice for Android handhelds?
>>
>>10875146
Personally I felt the stick issue was blown out of proportion but if you replace them it's a non-issue anyway. Great device.

Daijisho is fantastic and very easy to set up. ES-DE which is a fork of emulation station is better in my opinion because it looks great and has some good options but it's a little bit harder to set up and costs a few bucks.

Last purchases: Galileo G8 controller (65$ with a promo code) and a second gamesir x2 bluetooth.
((40-60$)

No handhelds; just old phones Lg premiere pro lte and LG stylo 5. Have been gaming with em for about two years now. No hiccups, glitches, or hardware issues whatsoever; it just works.

Personal note: The G8 is the fucking king of phone telescopics as of now. The x2 bluetooth I enjoy, the ergonomics could be a bit better but I use it purely for snes and down so it's fine.

I've never seen anyone say that, especially GCN which is pretty easy to run compared to PS2. It can't run all of PS2 fullspeed (had issues with Onimusha 3, Nightshade, Xenosaga Ep 2 (and to a lesser extent ep 1, but was mostly okay), but it definitely runs a safe majority of the library.

Handheld gives you the option of gimmicks like dual screens and stuff that don't translate over to console/PC well, but you're probably sacrificing all 3rd party studios if you do that since they don't want their games to be platform locked given modern development costs.

It's going to take a while and it's not like there's much room for improvement. The chip is already so good it steamrolls whatever you throw at it in terms of emulation, battery lasts for days.

I too value a good interface but all the options are currently shit.

Pegasus is such a pain in the ass to configure, you literally need third party tools just to shit out config files. Setting it up on Android is absolute hell, and adding new shit is painful as well.
ES-DE is paywalled on mobile, scraping is shit and you can't set it as launcher without losing access to system apps. Plus it's also a pain in the ass to configure.
Daijisho is basically abandonware, it's closed source and extremely limited in terms of customization, but it's still the most convenient way to have a fully working interface at this point.

I wish there was something like Playnite on mobile.
>>
Why do you guys need a launcher though? These are handhelds you can just select the core or app to run your games. It's not like a mini-pc box where having a unified interface is kinda necessary since you don't have easy touch or mouse controls.

If it had an analog stick, I'd probably be sold, but without it playing N64, Dreamcast, and PSP are a pain. Plus with Miyoo, we'll likely get OnionOS which has better shortcuts.

Every time I see a new handheld I want to buy it.
But before I buy it, I go to play games on my phone connected to my work monitor with a bluetooth controller, where I'm most likely to play.

I play primarily FF XI & XIV and still find time to play handhelds so of course. Prae roulette gives me at least 15 mins a day to blast through games when I'm on XIV. If I'm queueing for a long time for something or in PF, handheld's out.
Handhelds are S+ tier for gaming so long as you get in the habit. Want to have a nice comfy long bath but don't wanna read? Play a game. Listening to a podcast or radio or long video? Pop it on in the background and play.

I haven't touched a pokeshit game on my handheld yet and there's too much in my backlog to consider it.

Miyoo's pink-purple is much better looking tbqh. Regular shitomic purple is way too dull.

The first two numbers refer to screen size dingus so no they shouldn't have. 35 = 3.5" screen.

I'm in between. "Atomic Purple" is too grey, Miyoo Plus purple is too matted and pink. I've never seen a good transparent purple that just works.

>>
>>10879735
Ya they lied about it being an R35S/R36S just more compact, it's an entirely different system by an entirely different company that can do radically less than the average chinkheld in its pricerange. I think the whole R35S Plus name is just them taking the piss since the company making the R33S, R35S, and R36S have no rights in China.

Very inexpensive but super sturdy, has the "GBAmacro" design, plays N64 and DreamCast, pocketable enough to fit in the same pocket as your smart phone, its only flaw is it's missing the analog stick that the Miyoo A30 will have but apparently the d-pad is good enough for 3D.

If for whatever reason you can't, use the bilinear filter in video settings or throw on a Gameboy Player border.

i really hesitated pulling the trigger for a few weeks as i didn't like how little info i could find about the ghosting on not only the official retroid discord but also those two other main chinkheld channels (a few mentions complaining about it, a few saying the latest ota update "fixed" it, a few who don't even perceive it, a few saying otherwise, etc), but i ultimately got one a couple weeks ago and i dont regret it

if you look for it on the home screen or whatever it's immediately visible, but i only had one moment while playing games where the ghosting suddenly clearly stood out to me, and then i forgot about it again and it didn't turn into something i became hyperconscious of and noticing more - quite the opposite actually

the screen is arguably the device's weak point but i think it looks more than nice for the size and again i'm very happy with mine, playing more games thanks to it than i have in a while

yes oled would be cool but diminishing returns at the dimensions of the rp4 and breaking the $200 mark would change the value proposition quite a bit even though i would still lean retroid over anbernig or some shit regardless

Size compare. It should be good enoguh for up to dreamcast and n64. Price will be around the 50 range so they learned their lesson in that reguard.

I can usually hack a bit of asymmetric design but this is too much, it's not even in the same multiverse as the "dpad in the wrong place" posts that I routinely laugh at. Asymmetric vertislop with that much space between the dpad and stick, right at the bottom and the tiny buttons. Nahhhhhhhhhhh.
Interesting look for a vertislopper but what the actual fuck were they thinking.

Somebody needs to sit these Chinese down and show them pictures of unacceptable button placement on the edges. They need to learn, it's not okay to produce this much ewaste from recycled parts. It's not upcycling, it's downcycling.

What the actual fuck
If I order four 28XX cases, it costs $40 with free shipping and no taxes.
Yet one 28XX by itself magically has $12 shipping and $8 taxes applied to it?
Are Anbernic just being fucky or are there special shipping fees with electronics, because four cases would be a larger package than one handheld.

Look at this, and because of the added shipping cost the taxes go way up too.

Had Miyoo Mini and currently have RG35XX H and holy fuck do I miss OnionOS. If it wasn't for the fact that Miyoo is working on flip I would get another Mini right now. I don't like Batocera but some anon suggested MinUI and I'm using it right now and it's serviceable. Also I don't play PS1+ games as much as I though I would so sticks don't matter to me.

>>10881157
It does, but it's also way slower. 35XX-H and Plus are at a weird spot because anbernic won't share the chip's software and there's not as many people adopting them to drive development. I'd suggest the 2S for a horizontal if you're not getting taxes, no worrying about community having to fix it, working sleep mode unlike most Linux chinkhelds, very decent controls and enough power for N64 and DC.
>>
>>10881157
I agree with >>10881203, anything less than the 2S just isn't worth bothering with at this point imo unless you specifically need a bigger screen.

Why? I assume miyoo does share it. What does ambernic have to gain by hoarding?

Sticks on vertislop solve one half of the ergo issue.
Since you assign the opposite face buttons to the stick and one hand it during hand cramps.

>Anyone else notice how Russ is one of the only reviewers who never has anything meaningfully bad to say about the stuff he's reviewing?

I notice he seems to try to say less about some companies (which are probably "building a relationship" with him in some fashion, if not paying him directly). But normally he goes off on things about dpads and controls not working and poor build quality and shit - but he reserves his harshest criticism for the 3rd stringer chinkhelds. He also doesn't come out and blast them directly too often, either. Usually he'll say something like "the price is a bit on the boutique side" or "there's no good firmware solution(yet)". You can't really judge by his tone, you have to listen to what he says to get - 'this shit is too expensive and the firmware is garbage, you probably can't play a lot on this thing'.

You should keep an ear out for when he's reviewing something expensive and says "plays almost the whole library well with some slowdowns" as he seems abnormally okay with intermittent 20 percent drops in frame rate and sounds cutting out.

Overall, I like Russ/RGC/Uncle Reddit as his videos are better quality than the competition who for the most part seem like actual retards.

I do feel kinda burned by how much he talked up the H though. I ordered it before his glowing review - and its not that great. The Trimui Smart Pro blows it out of the water and he shit all over that.

There is some work to get mainline kernel support for the H but it's currently only the most bare essentials, IIRC the GPU blob is pulled from some car software somewhere. Typical ARM corporate bullshit.
So currently on the H you have access to a bunch of half-baked CFWs. For me the least shitty is MinUI which nails the pick up and play, put down and resume later aspect, but it doesn't even support analog sticks, N64, PSP. There's supposed to be new versions of MuOS, Batocera, Knulli around the corner (GarlicOS 2 never ever) but who knows.

I have an R35S and R36S. Wanted the D(hehehe, "wanted the D...")-R35S Pro but to be entirely honest, it's utter fucking waste for what it is. They should have designed it without the analog sticks and charged $5 less for it. The SF-2000 out performs it in every conceivable way for less than half the price.
I just wish the RG28XX had one analog stick, like the Miyoo A30 does, which is silly because the Miyoo A30 doesn't even need one.
>>
>>10881691
I guess? I play them 1x and haven't noticed anything weird. Kingdom Hearts, Crisis Core, MHFU, Metal Gear portable ops. Killzone Liberation requires vulkan and still has some issues, so maybe once they fix vulkan it works alright. Apparently with batocera everything performs better, but it is still in alpha and ppsspp is not working right now.

widescreen and the sharp filter isn't game specific, but there are analog stick "cheatcode" patches that are game specific. All three combined is pretty great for some DS games with weird touch controls(mario 64 ds, the starfox game, the LoZ games)

Widescreen only works on polygon based games, 2d sprites will get stretched and look bad

I'm hesitant to repost an image because of a certain trend but SNES on TrimUI with a bezel is pretty good. I mostly use it for GBA, Wonderswan and PSP atm.
I got an RGB30 too and mostly use that for SNES/GB/GBC style content but 4:3 and sub 4:3 can be alright on 16:9 so long as you know what you're working with.
I get the autism that people experience with "wasted screen real estate" but I find it's less of an issue on horizontals where ergonomics are more important playing RPGs for a long time, the Trim has those vita tier ergos that just feel right for long play sessions.
I find that dead space on a screen feels worse when it's slapped right in the centre of a frame with nothing surrounding it but bezels really can mitigate the effect. It takes <5m to make a quick and dirty general bezel for the platform/device. Use dark colours & gradients and you're on your way to a winner.

I know it's hypocritical to say all that and then play SNES on an RGB30 when I'm only gaining .1" of screen real estate but the main factor in that is that I like using syncthing for saves & states more, so I'm in a state of juggling 2 devices depending on what mood I'm in.

Don't forget also using the original MM's chip instead of the better one in the Plus for some fucking reason.

There is no large enough market above ~100$.
Chinks are poor and Mutts are getting to chink levels now.
All the competitions is for ~50$ shits.

I've got a new samsung Micro SD card for my R36S. how do I format it correctly? also is there a way to keep it so it has the boot drive and the EASYROMS drive as seperate partitions on the new one as well?

I've tried manually creating and formatting the micro SD in the same way as the original (pic related) but it's not working. the formats are the same, R36S is fat32 and EASYROMS is exfat just like the original micro SD card but it's not working / booting in the R36S.
Anyone got any experience / advice on what I can do? I wouldn't mind if I need to just format it as a single drive like EXFAT or something, whatever works.

pic related, the new micro SD.

the only difference I can see is the new OS boot partition is 500MB, whereas the original one was 110mb but I didn't think that would make a difference.

i doubt you could cram an fpga capable of doing 5th gen in that form factor, you'd probably end up with something closer to the switch at that point (and you can bet your ass it'd be more expensive than a mister)

>He aint wrong. The sf2000 is shit. It just feels good.
It is the most ergonomic thing I own.
It's shit, but I can put it in my work-bag, which I will randomly thrown around, and can use it to play some stupid games while I'm waiting in my car, or during breaks.
It is only good because it is cheap, but it's pointless to fill a thread with "if" and "what could have been if".

Why not just buy an SF2000 or PowKiddy Q90 or something? Outside of -maybe- Brick Game LCD toys, most of the handhelds I've bought exceeded my expectations, including even Famiclones. Sometimes it's better just to collect the cheap ones if you just want a quick fix, that way you can collect as many as you want without having to pay out so much. There's a lot of nice-looking handhelds but there are cheaper alternatives to basically every single one. There's also PowKiddy Q20 and LDK landscape if you can find one

Once I have my teal blue Game Box Plus, all I'll need is kiwi green and atomic purple and I will have all of the GBC colors

If I can't get the atomic purple from Walmart I'll just get a RetroMax instead
