what's wrong with the existing thread
Some of the sku prices are completely nuts, but lowest one is $400. If that's with free shipping like the Pocket Air was then it's essentially the same price as the 12g Odin 2 Pro.
The problem with retro gaming is that I've already played the games worth playing.
>>10884396you think you have but you haven't. time to leave your tendie comfort zone.
>>10884385Anon threatened that if somebody didn't make one he would do it without a proper OP. And so he did
>>10884396Guaranteed you haven't
>>10884385Nothing, I just didn't want to bother posting in a thread that'll be dead in an hour.
Great job OP. Don't bother next time.
>>10884396Okay bigboi, lets see all those arcade 1ccs then.
>>10884396The problem with modern gaming is that I'd rather play the games I already played again, rather than play the new slop
still waiting
>>10884529which chinkheld?
>>10884532Miyoo Mini Plus. Got it when it was on sale for about 45 Euro on April 15th.
>>10884526>>10884396This raises an interesting question. Which retro games are good enough to feel fresh and fun, even for people who have never played them before? Still not finished with Grimgrimoire 10 hours in and I'm having fun, I never even owned a PS2.
Is there a way to put things like the DS / PSP into standby / sleep mode on the RG35xx+?
>>10884529I try to get mine domestic if possible, costs more but that way I don't have to wait as long
>>10884575I was also willing to pay a premium to spare me the headache with chink shipment
Pick one
>>10884604I had teal as a kid but I recently got a red and it looks gorgeous. Shame the screen is burnt in though.
>>10884604Bottom mid
I got a card with garlic os and a bunch of games and i'd like to clone it to another card? is this possible? I want to think it is, but considering the install steps I'm not sure.
>>10884626Yeah just dd the image.Oh you use Windows? Good luck downloading some "free" tool to help you I guess.
>>10884393That seems about right what I expected from Ayaneo. At the very least their pricing is much better than when the Pocket Air launched, even though Pocket S is still missing that really nice OLED panel.
>>10884604
>>10884604>gayboy coloredpeoplei choose none.
>>10884385Do we ever have handheld threads that aren't shilling the new-fangled 3rd party machines? I'd like to just talk about the actual devices these games were originally on, their own modding scenes, and stuff like that.
>>10884396wrong.>>10884526usually correct.>>10884604>>10884604i had one and six growing up.>>10884385bump limittard postersthe one guy who is still mad about pocket>>10884404KEK
>>10884604Had the Berry Red one until the curse of my original Game Boy killed it when a heavy metal lamp suddenly fell on it and broke the screen.
>>10884671Who's stopping you? One of the last threads with the useful OP pasta had dozens of posts about old handhelds.
>>10884671>muh MODSsoulless you ruined that neogeo
>>10884671What are some good NGPC games? The only ones I know of are Sonic, Cotton, Metal Slug, and Bust-A-Move
>>10884683i only have sonic and metal slug1\2the astrology thing is fun to fiddle with in the system osstill on the fence for the flashmastai assumed something cheaper\better would come out but it never did ;_;
>>10884683The Puzzle Link games and Magical Drop are neat little time wasters.The fighting games are actually pretty decent. I'd recommend SNK v Capcom and SNK Gals Fight. They take time to adjust to if you're use to play them on consoles, though.The Megaman Fighter & Battle game was always my favorite game, though you will have to stumble through Japanese on the menus.ABSOLUTELY stay away from the Dive Alert games. I thought they were going to be a cross between Battleship/Navy Blue and In the Hunt. What you're seeing is 90% of the game.
Is Garlic OS really so much better than stock for the RG35xx+? What does it do exactly? Will I be able to put DS games in sleep mode?
>>10884671Nothing EVER stopped people from talking about offical handhelds, neobro.>ModsSoulpilled. You enhanced the neogeo.
>>10884381There is too many emulation handhelds, I miss when there only 2 official handhelds you had to hack and and oddball emulation handheld.
>>10884786Truly gay post.
>>10884786I'll makes it ez fors ya.>2ds for dual screen and 3d virtual boy>Powkiddy x18s for clamshell dreamcast and psp>Deck mini for everything else.
>>10884786Truly straight post
>>10884786Well maybe if you beg Sony enough they'll make a handheld that doesn't look like a Chinese toy
>>10884786Emulation handhelds happened because people wanted more than just two official handhelds. As much as I like PSP I'm glad there are other/better options now
>>10884604Yellow, Lime Green, or Atomic Purple.Solid purple is also okay and vaguely Nintendo's secondary colour in the West after red.I don't think I have ever seen anybody actually have the turquoise or cherry pink ones, ever. But if I couldn't have atomic purple or yellow, turquoise would have been my third choice just because lime green was so common.
I was really hyped for the RG28XX like, 24 hours before it went on sale, and now that it's been over 24 hours since release, I no longer have any intense desire to buy one. Especially knowing these companies, Anbernic will likely have an even better RG28XX in two or three months which is how fucking long they take to mail their shit overseas anyway. I can easily see myself finally receiving the RG28XX in the mail only for a better one to be announced and then feeling like mine is inferior. Same shit almost happened with the RG35XX, and now there's fucking three new versions of it a year later.
Can Anbernig and Miyoo stop wasting my time and just release their Flips already?
>>10884947
>>10884947>Having hope for either
>>10884962I have even less hope for Powkiddy because they've had the v90 sitting there for years with no plans on an improved successor. They could have beaten Anbernic and Miyoo to the punch ages ago.
>>10884969Their focusing on a proper x18s first. They also still wont tell me the new chip.
All three of the SP clones had so much promise but now they're all ended up being total fucking shit for multiple reasons. I can't imagine how awful they end up being with a few months of use and wear+tear.
>>10884962Based, I have faith in an X28 successor.
so what happened with that Orange Pi handheld they announced a year ago? is it out yet?
>>10884945>Same shit almost happened with the RG35XXIt actually happened to me.Until I see a machine that is literally perfect I'm not buying any other one.
>>10885112?
>>10884759Pls i must know
Finally backed up my saved and got rid of tomato on the trimui.Good times ahead, I can feel it.
Legion Go and Rog Ally are for sale at Best Buy Canada. Steam also has a bunch of refurbished Decks for sale. So if anyone is interested in an x86 machine this is a good time.
>>10885307I had no idea they had Best Buy in Canada. I guess that shouldn't really be surprising when you guys are just our hat.
>>10885319We used to have Future Shop, but Best Buy bought them out.Ironically we've also sent some stuff down your way like Tim Hortons kek
>>10885338Burger King bought Tim Hortons, you didn't bring shit.
>>10884604I was a chad with the Pokemon Yellow bundled special edition one. But I'd choose Berry, since that's closest to red, my favorite color, and it's the most nostalgic-looking.I really wish I hadn't missed out on what's in the pics here >>10884676 and here >>10884381 though.
>>10885319They had controversy there a few years ago where BBC staff (and even management) were just openly promoting Chinese piracy products.
>>10885354Never had Tim Horton's, but if cardboard "burgers" Burger King bought them out here, I definitely won't ever have it.
>>10885354Still a Canadian export that you fags can't get enough of for some reason.
>>10885421I have yet to even see one or hear anyone talk about it. If your press is telling you it's wildly popular here you've been bamboozled.
>>10885112The Trimui Smart Pro with little more power would be perfect imo, I really like the Vita design and shape.
>>10884393I was considering buying it because the Odin 2 looks pretty much perfect but this one is clearly a direct competitor. I waited for the price announcement but it's not that appealing all things considered.>no back buttons >small, non-replaceable sticks>phone "ergonomics", needs the 30$ plastic grip just to make it bearable (which is why they're selling it right from the start)Also I'm speculating now but >smaller, more compact = worse battery + worse airflow & inevitable overheating/throttle I mean a bezel-less 2K screen is nice but it's not OLED and the cheapest model is still 1080p (while being more expensive than the Odin).Does a 6" screen for emulation really need 1440?Do you really need a better chip if the Odin is already that good with android emulation?The only thing this may do better is Switch emulation but a Switch Lite is cheaper and pretty much the same in terms of size. I don't know boys, I think I'm going with the Odin
>>10885521>I think I'm going with the OdinDo it bro, join the good side of the chinkhelds
>>10884945>gameboy style and color>no WiFi>no analogue stickBased and dingoo-era pilled2009 bros... we're going home
I'm rather happy with my rgb30. it's comfortable enough to use, is great for ps1 and various handhelds, and the 720x720 4 inch screen is ideal for the native pico-8 compatibility. it's even got wifi so i can get on splore.
>>10885434I know people down in the US and they all like Tims more than Starbucks.
>>10885628Sure you do anon.
>>10885628Based. Starbucks is essentially a stereotypically Canadian company, anyway. Tim Horton's seems more "family-oriented" like Western Canada or conservative America.
>>10885638Starbucks is ass though.
>>10885659True.
>>10884786you are correct about TOO MUCH EWASTE>>10884954processed slopyou are being facetious but are literally CORRECT on a cosmic level
Just got a new SD card for my RG35xx+, should I format fat32 or exfat?
When will the final handheld release and what will it look like?>>10884786 is right. You buy one of these things and they release another with a ton of fixes, then another with a better chip, then another with a better screen... I have 10 of them in my drawer right now...
>>10885795>You buy one of these things and they release another with a ton of fixes, then another with a better chip, then another with a better screen...That is how technology works, anon...
>>10885838This isn't the edge of tech though. These are handhelds that play 20-40 year old games. How many form factors should be tested before we know that horizontal is best? Why are we still getting rk3566? Just release one or two handhelds. This should be a solved problem but instead we get some new release every month for them to make money on.
>>10885852That's good THO, lots of people with different tastes are more likely to get their niches filled (no homo). Yes horizontal is best ofc, but the form of an RG Arc, an RGB30/A1 Unicorn, a Trimui Smart Pro, an RG556, etc all have their own appeals that would be diluted with form homogenization.I agree on the chip part though, FUCK the rk3566. Anything less than a T610 can suck my ass at this point.
>>10884526so true f@m, fr frdas why I keep playing Fortnite, we're such boomers LMAO
>>10884604I had the yellow one as a kid. At some point I picked up a solid purple one, and a transparent purple one. The transparent one is my favorite.
What will come out first?Anbernig SP or GarlicOS 2.0.1?
>500 games>Mario, Contra, Gradius, Life Force, Turtles, Pac-Man, Dig Dug, Galaga, Galaxian, Donkey Kong, Tetris, Double Dragon, and more>endless color options>play on TV or on the go>backlight and rechargeable battery>also works on a CRT>comes with second controller for multiplayer

How do I get into fixing hardware/handhelds? I have an original Gameboy but the screen is partially fucked. How do I learn to solder and stuff like that so I can fix this thing?
>>10886140>How do I learn to solder and stuff like that so I can fix this thing?Watch electronic repair channels or just general electronic channels like Big Clive.Buy one of those $5 kits off of eBay that make you solder together a clock.Or you can just jump into it as long as you know the basic steps and hope for the best.It's not like the barrier to entry is high. You can get a kit off of AliExpress for like $9 and all you need to get at that point is a heat station (Or heat gun but that needs aluminum foil and finagling to work since it's less precise) which is maybe another $10-20 and some flux which is anywhere from $3 to $20 depending on the type you get.Once you're confident then you simply upgrade that garbage kit you got off of AliExpress and maybe invest into one of those clip things that hold the board so you can work on it from multiple angles while it's hot and ceramic tweezers.
>>10886152Sounds like a plan. I also heard that you want to solder in well ventilated areas because the stuff is toxic, right?
>>10886160Yes, the fumes are toxic and flux is an irritant to the skin so it would be a smart idea to wear gloves if you are going to use it. A fume hood/extractor fan would be the safest idea. Barring that, an open window with a clear flow of air is your next best step and if need be use a fan or something as long as you air your house out.
>>10886140toss it the trash and get a chinkheldand toss that into trash and get a better cheaper one few months later
>>10886140you don't need to solder if you're just replacing the screen
>>10884671I didn't even know there was a link cable like that for the Dreamcast. Cool post anon
Any reason not to get the retroid pocket 4 pro?
>>10886330You have to fix the screen settings in the Android system which can terrify iOS users, otherwise none.
If not for the (reportedly) poor quality and rotated screen on the RG28XX, it would have been the handheld I've waited years for. Why must God punish me so?
Has every chinkheld released after the Retroid Pocket 4 actually just been fucking trash, or does it just seem that way in comparison?
>>10886356>not waiting for the 4+ modeloh no no no!
>>10886330Ghosting. Though I suppose it's not bad enough given few people complain about it.>>10886347How does rotated screen matter here?>>10886356I'd argue the 4 was a let down as well. Beyond the screen, it feels like they're just stalling on better start and select placement to have an easy feature to sell on new models.For me, every chinkheld that caught my eye (35XX P, 35XX SP, 20SX, ARC) was ruined by crippled chips with shit software.
Anybody got the Onion OS Ports Collection files for the Mario 64 port? Looks like Nintendo nuked the archive.org page

>>10887040Hasn’t been an issue for a long time.
just got the RG35XX-H. ps1 emulation is flawless and dreamcast is near perfect. I never got into JRPG's but my goal is to complete all of the good ones. I also got a ton of obscure titles I want to play. the screen is a tad small but I just play some games on my TV with Xbox controller
>>10887049thanks
>>10886830>>10887050still undecided between these two
>>10887087The TSP is better in virtually every single regard and is cheaper, how are you undecided?
>>1088709316:9 display to play mostly 4:3 games
>>10887009honestly i've getting getting a bunch of things that have fan translations(mostly megaten stuff like kyuuyaku, but there is a retranslation of secret of mana as well that restores a bunch of cut script) or undubs, and some very interesting hacks like turning zelda 1 or aria of sorrow into roguelikes.but really the sheer amount of emulators that run well opens up a lot of possibilities . you can get the entire library of some early gen systems like the intellivision or even game and watch and they're tiny. I'd also suggest some virtual boy stuff, without the headache-inducing headset and the ability to change the monochrome color, the actually good titles like v-tetris and wario land 3d are a joy to play.
>>10887106I totally get it anon, but in this case it's 100% worth coping with some black bars.
>>108871324:3 bros.....we got to cockybtw thanks anon it's on sale for 62€ now I think it won't go for less in europoor land
>>10887093Different anon here, in my case I'd prefer to buy locally after checking unit and TSP is almost 50% more expensive in such case.
>>10887106I get the commitment to the autism and as a 4:3 display simp who wishes for 22 & 24" 4:3 computer displays I feel you.However, since your 4:3 options are tiny, 3.5 & 4" only your options are to buy a 4" 4:3 device, buy a 4" 1:1 device for 8:7 style benefits or buy a larger 16:9 device.Make a bezel anon, it'll help you keep your sanity.>>10887132I'll also add that alongside inman's site, it's worth sometimes doing a bit of number punching on displaywars too to get an idea of size differences in displays too but that's advanced autism reserved mostly for people using TVs and PC monitors.
>>10886285Yeah, there were six games made to connect with Dreamcast games;KoF R-2 links with KoF ’99SVC – Match of the Millennium links with CVS2SVC – Card Fighter's Clash links with KoF EvoSVC – Card Fighter's Clash Expand Edition links with CVS2Cool Cool Jam links with Cool Cool ToonI assume the people who thought that the NGPC in that pic was modded were either stupid or trolling. It was a well known thing.
>>10885521The form factor does look nice, I'll give them that. Better processor than the Odin 2, but worse battery life. What fucks with me the most is where they put the vents; a long strip on the top of the device...then another on the right side, where your hand will rest while playing. I think heat dissipation may be an issue with this especially with more demanding games, and of course it's still more expensive than an Odin 2. The reviews on this thing will be interesting at the very least.
>>10887182I don't know if I'm just used to it by now because I played with 16:9 most of my life but what is actually so bad about the black bars that it triggers so many people. It's as if people refuse to watch a movie when it has letterboxing on tv.
>>10887220I have literally never heard of this until now, and I had a DreamCast for PSO.
>>10884604the gayboy cocklover
>>10887227It only really bothers me when using a TV or monitor so I'm not the best person to ask. With handhelds I really don't mind because ergonomics play into it and I'm always going to be using a primary display at arms length and the controls are bolted onto the device.With a TV & monitor the concept of wasted space & real estate do matter somewhat because it ties into deskspace, where if you primarily play 4:3 content you're dealing with some degree of dead space on either side. I'll use a 28" 16:9 monitor here as an example, you'll see that you lose around 6 inches of space on a 16:9 monitor where a 22/23" 4:3 display would reclaim that. You can use a bezel if it bugs you, you can put physical objects there to obscure it and pretend you have a 4:3 monitor but that space will always be occupied and with a KB/M you will have it in a neutral position at the centre.With a TV it's a bit different, you can get by if you use something like RA to scale your content appropriately or even OBS at the expense of some latency, push it to a different area of the display and bezel it out so it's less of an issue but you're still looking at around 12" of dead space in width on a 16:9 55" display.The larger footprint of dedicated displays is a different ballgame to handhelds although they share a common issue in that there's a lack of larger dedicated 4:3 displays available, they differ ergonomically.
I give up lads. Despite the nice screen, chip, size, and ergos, the rg556 just has too many things triggering the fuck out of my autism. Pretty sure I'm gonna sell it.
>>10887406>rg556Why did you even buy one? It's the Powkiddy device of Anbernic devices. Was it only $50 or something?
>>10887220well that ngpc does have a backlit screen (hardware mod)
>>10885451I don't like the screen.
why's it so hard to find pictures of prototype handhelds?like supposedly there was a prototype for a colour gameboy in back in 1992 which they decided not to go ahead with because the gameboy was doing just fine, but what did it look like? who knows, no pics.
I tried installing Garlic on my RG35xx+ but I can't seem to get the games to appear anywhere. Do I host them on the first or second SD card?
>>10887442who cares, gayboy sucks.
>>10887442Why would photographs exist of something your friends made up?
>>10887442the only reason you get modern photos of prototypes and engineering samples are chinese people with smartphonesneither of those existed in the 90s

any know out what material the Trimui Smart Pro is made of and where can I look it up?
>>10888709A very nice plastic.The fuck you think I can say? It feels more premium, it has a soft shell feel compared to something like the vita or grade-A chinesium plastic like the RGB30 or R36S.I am not cutting up my handheld to analyse its chemical structure to sate your autism and endless research. You're done worrying about the triggers and you're now onto the plastic.shit or get off the toilet
>>10888759NTA what number is in the triangle on the back?
>>10888759I meant more like if it is ABS like the normal Smart. Not the same anon btw, didn't know asking about the material from a basically unknown china brand is considered autism
>>10884816I would bet money that Australia-kun bought a PS Portal and whiteknights for it on /v/.
>>10888772>NTA what number is in the triangle on the back?There is no number. The triangle on the back is made up of three indented dots, the trimui logo.>>10888821>I meant more like if it is ABS like the normal SmartAhhh, that I can't confirm. I don't have a normal smart and I don't think I could say reliably what ABS feels like because I'm not a keyboard nonce.It really is smooth and soft touch so probably ABS? It doesn't feel that different from something like say my Keychron V3 keycaps but idk if that helps. Basically, imagine you've got a 3ds in your hands right bruv. It's like that. It's better than the cheapest phone you can get at argos, kinda like the top of an xbox one x, like the back of a bt shitphone handset, maybe even better than an 8bitdo wired controller.Very premium feeling. No icky triangle I can compare it to sorry my lad.
>>10888897>>10888821>Ahhh, that I can't confirm. I don't have a normal smart and I don't think I could say reliably what ABS feels like because I'm not a keyboard nonce.Oh, I don't really wanna double post but it came to me a little while after. I watched a bunch of reviews for the TSP before buying (like you might have) and many of them were utter shit and sold the device wrong but I think at least one of them compared it to the old trimui smart.I'm so sure of it I'll bet the life of my neverborn firstborn on it.I think it's Taki or some other big faggot who says it but you can pretty much disregard the rest of their review since most of the TSP's problems were and still are software related.

I figure I should ask here because you guys seem to be knowledgeable. I'm really interested in buying some of these handheld things but my main goal with them is 4 player netplay on-the-go. I like the idea of filling my pockets with game devices and being able to start a 4 player game without needing to plug something into a TV. I've seen some tutorials and overviews of these features but it seems like since those were published things have already changed? and the main OS that supported it is now unmaintained? idk, I'm pretty lost in this new world. my goal for games is like... C64 and arcade games, nothing fancy like PSone. any of you guys have experience or hints in this? looking for any advice as well like how to find good deals because I've got zero clue.
For a kid do you guys think i should get the rg35xx or the plus? Is garlic simpler for dummies?
>>10889149I don't think there's any significant difference. Kids usually figure things out faster anyway, unless their brains have already been rotted by smartphones. One thing that comes to mind I'd maybe change is the potentially ambiguous behavior of the menu buttons depending on single tap, long tap, double tap, etc.The MMP's "game switcher" thing for instance is kind of interesting but the fact there's a slight loading time associated going both in and out of it kind of ruins the appeal, may as well just drop back to the menus at that point.
>>10889039It's nothing like fe other than being a turned based tactics game, please stop being such a sheltered tendie.
>>10889143>and the main OS that supported it is now unmaintained? Welcome to the handheld arena. Where incompetent devs come and go and say goodbye to devices they've left in the drawer. Good luck kiddo.btw I'm not fully making fun of you but your question was very empty.Consider that people would need to answer it. Look back at it and think what could somebody with some broad knowledge get out of my question.You say you want 4 devices sounds good, you mention an OS that isn't maintained anymore, ok......but what's the fucking device you're looking at, what's the alternatives? What platform? what specific type of multiplayer.You've asked an empty question that nobody can answer. Again i'm not trying to be cruel but it needs to happen to draw it out of you. I can barely fucking help you but still I can see the glaring holes in your question.Give the thread details my lad. Your gay furry orgy can only benefit from sharing info!
>KT Pocket website now like thisWhat happened
>>10889703I forgot this even existed.
>>10889456ah yeah sorry. I guess some details are I'm looking in the $50-$100 price range, I don't want to blow the bank. I've looked at the miyoo mini + and it looks really nice and has some cool looking features, but I can't tell how compatible the netplay is with other devices besides other miyoo mini +s. The new anbernic RG28XX also looks good and from what I could tell has better netplay compatibility.I really like the shape of the powkiddy a66 and trimui smart, but couldn't find any information about if they can do local netplay. I was thinking my best option would be to get one of each, but I'm worried that nothing would be compatible with each other. I'm thinking playing some 4 player arcade beat 'em ups would be the most fun, or maybe some 4 player nes games. until now I've brought my switch around with controllers for portable multiplayer games but that's always really annoying, having these pocket devices seems a lot easier and more fun. I hope that's a bit more details, I'm mainly asking if anybody knows about the cross compatibility of these devices so I can buy a bunch of different ones, or should I buy something like 4 of the same miyoo things.
Anyone struggle with indecisiveness with handhelds? Or should I just wait for the flips? I don't think there's any other form factors after flips...
>>10889984Just wait for the flips, the retroid pocket flip 2 particularly
>>10889984What do you want a handheld for?>Pocketable to take outside (most ARM based chinesehelds) or massive bricks for inside your home or hotel (most X86 "handhelds" like the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, AyaNeo Next etc)>Budget (20$ - 300$)>Shape (horizontal, vertical, clamshell, square)>OS (Linux ARM, Linux X86, Windows, Android, dual boot)>Compatible systems (Pre PSX, PSX, Dreamcast and N64, PSP and DS, PS2 and GC/Wii capable, modern PC ports, native Android games)
>>10890037Not that anon but I’m having a similar problem.Budget is flexible but cheaper is better.Vertical with two sticks preferred for psx and higher.Games I actually play is till around GC/PS2 era. I already own a steam deck (lcd) and MM+ but the plus isn’t doing it for me.Lowest I play is GBA and mostly stuff like Battle network and rpg’sAlso own a N3DS and Vita don’t mind not having a one device to rule them all but find the steam deck to cumbersome at work and in short “pull out and play” sessions.
>>10890071So what's the issue with odin 2 or retroid pocket 4?
>>10890082No real issue as much as that it feels like what I do with my deck and that it’s a fairly expensive solution for a niche that I have another device for.Technically I don’t need more but I keep glancing at things like a RGB30 and or TSP
>>10889984I guess it's easier for me because I only ever really cared about playing Game Boy games for the most part. Once Tetris became my most played game, I realized even Famiclones are good enough for me. But the nice thing is there are so many options now.
>>10889984Why wait for the SP clones? You won't even know if their hinges can withstand light usage for months.>I don't think there's any other form factors after flips...Nonsense, there's still DS and TATEs to go, and then revisions with chips that can actually emulate shit. And think of how many of those will have bad d-pads or garbage buttons or angle snapping sticks, the money milking possibilities are endless!
>>10890168>RGB30 and or TSPwhat's the problem with those two?
>>10889984literally just get a Trimui Smart Pro
>>10890347God the RetroMini is almost perfect
>>10890387It was my Tetris + MP3 machine for a few years until I started collecting enough other handhelds. The resolution is perfect for GBA
>>10890387if you're a retarded ewaste collector yeah.
>>10890394Here's a concept; You are ewaste.
>>10889703>$infinity--infinityWell well, look at mister money bags.
>>10890394>buy one thing>HUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR COLLECTOR OF THE "EWASTE", TERM JUST LEARNED JUST NOWOkay
>>10890379Nothing really, just choice paralysis I guess.Considering recent developments I might just bite the bullet and take a TSP
>>10890415I mean to be fair, I'm the anon who posted >>10885214 >>10886046 >>10886078 >>10888319 and the RetroMini picMy current vertical collection + yellow and purple Game Box Plus
>>10890372Man I hope the buttons and D pad on the RGB20SX feels decent enough
>>10890467That's not being fair. He dismissed the RetroMini as ewaste that people just collect, which is wrong at every point.
>>10890071>Vertical with two sticks preferred for psx and higherMaybe the Anbernic RG405V? Though it's a fairly chunky vertical comparable to the size of the original Gameboy and at least $130 (via AliExpress).PS2 and GC requires some compromises but seem to be mostly playable with this guy's configuration (Spanish Auto-generated to English for subs if you need them).GC: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDwzJhos6Xs&t=629PS2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l2ngxybtqaQ&t=859
>>10890071I would genuinely just recommend an R36S but its build is pretty stiff and chunky, you likely want something that feels nicer. The thing is, you're not really going to have a vertical with sticks that's also comfortable.
the RG35XX H is a perfect size for pockets but the dpad feels like it's giving me carpal tunnel after long sessionsis it even possible for a handheld that size to have good ergonomics?
>>10890617I don't mind the d-pad and I used it for basically all of my Megaman Legends playthrough but I get what you mean and I've been looking at grips because of it.https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6569359This seems like a decent one to me.
>>10890617>>10890624just get the Trimui Smart Pro instead
>>10890394Do you think the mini's a famiclone or something?
>>10890617>is it even possible for a handheld that size to have good ergonomics?The RK2023 is pretty comparable in size and it was stupid comfortable. Certainly not quite as small, but close enough imo.
>>10890624shut the fuck up triptroon.
>>10890634Trimui smart pro? More like Shitui for dumbos
>>10890645:(
>>10890624Speak the fuck on, tripGOD. Imagine squirting anal liquid at people playing goymes
>>10890586I could always go for a horizontal model, but, it’s not a hard preference (except for the sticks those are a must)
>>10890617If the RP2S had that rounded shape like the mockup anon keeps posting, it'd be the perfect combination of ergonomic and pocketable.
STILL undefeated
>play space channel 5 pt 1 on odin>is a game i beat several times on DC to the point it became trivial >literally CANNOT get past stage 1 no matter what I do, even tried practicing segments with save states>try it on my deck>make it to the last stage with one game overalright maybe there really is something to this input lag thing. still a bit rusty either way.
>>10890732I told you bro. I warned you.Should have enough juice for runahead, right? Fuck with audio latency too, I dunno.
>>10890728*presses the standby button*heh, not so strong after all!
>>10890801When I hold the button down for a full second before releasing, it feels like it wakes up a lot more reliably. It’s probably some “hold down B to catch the Pokemon easier” placebo BS, but I SWEAR, it’s helped.
>>10890816It's the false wakeups that bug me, a pita in light environments.The RGB30 taught me to pause the game and enter a menu before using standby tho, so it has that going for it.
>>10884381>tfw Teal GBC resets itself after a few secondsI guess it needs to be recapped, so it’s going on the project backlog for a while.

How's the battery on the Odin 2 if you play ps2 at 480/720 or so? I don't care about resolution that much and want to batterymaxxxx
Also how bad is the switch emulation and input latency on odin 2
>>10890968HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA NO!
>>108910147 hours
>>10891017>Also how bad is the switchDecent enough with more games than you would think, what games are you looking to play? I can test them later>>10891017>input latency on odin 2Seems like i'm immune to it so I can't offer you a feedback on that
So, what exactly are the common picks for handhelds nowadays?
>>10890971>Having Musicaly after Bytedance merged it into its conglomerate with Douyin to turn it into Tiktok, AND after the datamining and spying backdoor to Beijing for Xi "Asshole megalomaniac Pighead" Xinping reveleation. >>>/out/
>>10891046idk about the upper end for PS2/GC/DC etc but I can give you my picks for older stuff & handhelds.RGB30 is solid for NES/SNES/GB/Pico8/NGP etcTrimUI Smart Pro is alright for some 4:3/SNES if you don't mind black bars but very good for GBA/Wonderswan. Good for some PSP, Vulkan's a bit better if you're not a turbo resolution fag, about on par with a vita but heard it struggles with some titles like GoW. DC was a bit ropey last I checked but haven't tried it after Vulkan since I don't really play DC.Cheap vertislop, R36S, RG35XXwhatever it is etc if you must have vertical form factor, all relatively cheap.I hear the RP4P is good if you're looking for something a bit more powerful but I'm on the low end of things.What are ya looking for anyway?
>>10891068I was looking for something that could emulate up to PSP without issues, I guess? I used to have a Retroid Pocket 2 before, so something that would be considered a straight upgrade without being that much of a hassle
>>10884381I have a Miyoo Mini Plus coming.Anyone do the speaker or L/R button mods? Are they worthwhile?
>>10891087Rp4 if you don't care about ps2 or gc
>>10891181>Rp4Fuck, there's a 4 already?
>>108911814 does virtually all of gc thoever
>>10891190The Pro version, not the base one, but might as well save $50 if that doesn't matter
>>10891087Which RP2? If you had the original, it's hard to find good benchmarks for the MT6580 but it seems to be in the same realm as most of the cheap shit itt.For the + or S you've surpassed that so if you want an upgrade there's not as many options, since you're already familiar with Retroid then maybe just get an RP4 (or even RP4+ if you feel like taking advantage of GC/PS2/Wii now being an option)
>>10891192im talking about the base one m8
>>10891206Oh, you're one of those guys who believes if the .iso load then it technically counts as running the game.
>>10891190A D900 isn't much better than a T618, which does not do virtually all of GC. You want GC? Get the Pro.
>>10891151You don't even know if the MM+ is worthwhile to you, bro. Chill. Try it first, then think of wasting money on mods.Sold mine on after about a month because of false inputs with the D-Pad, the sides of that and the face buttons chafing to dust and the screen starting to peel away.
>>10891219>You know remember russ's definition of "perfectly playable" when talking about ps1 on the v90
>>10891220it's a lot stronger than t618, and t618 was already doing over 50% of the library fullspeed by the time rp4 released. most of what didn't run on t618 didn't need much more of a bump before hitting fullspeed. t820 in the rg556 is a little weaker than the d900 and it runs nearly everything fullspeed.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YrsfW1WYPvk
>>10891238Synthetic benchmarks don't mean much, what matters is how Dolphin performs with it and we've seen it's sometimes better, sometimes worse than a T618.>t618 was already doing over 50% of the library fullspeed by the time rp4 released. most of what didn't run on t618 didn't need much more of a bump before hitting fullspeed.A lot of them resorting to 50hz and at times going under 1x res.
>>10891229He shows SA2 running at 40fps and calls DC playable to this day.
>>10891253>40fps is unplayable
>>10891278Chicken the cat...
>>10891278On emulator yes, because it means there's stuttering if it's not running at full speed. It's not the same as running a PC game at 40fps on the Steam Deck.
>>10891021rent free
>>1089125340 fps is playable. Fuck off with that shit.When it comes to emulation there are five distinct tiers on where running a console can be at;Not at all. It literally cannot do it. Can't even load the title screen of a single title let alone start the emulator itself. You can play NO games.Poorly. It technically turns on but then runs at like fucking 1 fps with significant issues and tinkering. You can "run" some games, but still play none.Playable. Not 1:1 with how the game ran on the original hardware, but you can still actually play it. Performance varies title to title based on tweeking the emulator's settings. You can play most of the console's library start to finish.Perfect. It's an exact 1:1 performance wise of how the game ran on original hardware. Every game works just as it should, even the special ones with unique hardware or engineering in the code. Beast. You can run games even BETTER than the original hardware ever could. 2x, 3x, 4x perfect pixel scaling with improved performance that the original hardware was never capable of.The issue is, one person will think "playable" means "beast" while another person will think "perfect" means "poorly". Thank the internet that anyone with two brain cells can just research how well a console performs on a device rather than just listening to whatever some fucking idiot on a forum or image board insists on.

Why does reddit like russ so much anyways? There's tons of other good and arguably better reviewers out there.
>>10891441Ya, we all laughed at him last thread.
>>10891447Russ reminds me of a "retro" film camera blogger/youtuber/reseller named Jeremy cun- sorry not our ex health secretary and current cancellor. No Bellamy Cunt. That's the one. JapanCameraHunter the man driving up priced for 2nd hand film cameras in Japan, a huge self branded thing like RGC, he even went and entered a partnership with a filmstock company to rebrand their film as his own and marked up the price just like this.It's a matter of months before he does repackage an ambernig souljaboy/jch style.>>10891441God I fucking love this lmao
>>10891454>tfw retro tech dad is great but he's been sent nothing but garbage since the rp4feels bad man. anbernig sent an rg556 to every other cunt living in brazil but nothing to him.
>>10891454Tons is an exaggeration. The vast majority of people who make Youtube videos on devices like these just make glorified unboxing videos and then show 8 minutes of them playing games. Despite Russ being overrated by redditors, he's still a cut above your regular reviewer.
>>10891454He legit has a very large female/gay fanbase. He even has an ebay page where he sells his unused handhelds at a way higher markup price for the sole purpose of owning a handheld he touched. I wish I was kidding.
>>10891469This screenshot of his Youtube channel is the most Reddit fucking thing I have seen posted on 4chan in years, and people post literal screenshots of Reddit posts here to shame them.
>>10891454I prefer other reviewers anyway, some of them are middling, you can usually tell their biases upon viewing but they're not bad but they're much lower volume.Taki's alright but he's low volume and very simple, generally if there's a release I just search YT and binge other reviews.I don't trust russ. His review process is bog standard and soulless. His TSP review is one of his worst, he reviewed the entire device in power saving mode and while it's got much better he said he'd revisit it. He's yet to do so and while the TSP is a great option on v1.0.4 his early botched review still sits there.It takes him <3h to film these things and it's just so fucking factory like. I don't like him.
>>10891476Get a trip, Russ.
>>10891481That's what I'm saying, it's been nothing but garbage since the RP4.
>>10891483He literally said he takes days to fully test and get all his footage. I think his MSI claw review took weeks.
I know ETA Prime's videos are total shit, but I still like him more than most of the jewtube cunts. The way some people REALLY dislike him is always funny to me when all he does is make half-assed commercials for random chinese crap.
>>10891476I binged RGB30 reviews before buying it so I saw a lot of shit.I'm going to link you to what I consider to be a weird, bad clickbaity review of an RGB30 by some souf african cunt without a knife license.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PN7iUBZiaecHe does a better job than ross, it's not a fully templated review. I actually dislike this review, it has structural issues but he addresses them later.but still the point is he does a better job than review factory russ. That's the value of just searching and binging reviews than going to the small handed weirdo fence sitter.
>>10891483>Taki's alright
>>10891487I simply don't believe it and his TSP review stands as the evidence to the contrary 2bh
>>10891483>secrit company drama that he totally knows but won't reveal to not fan the flames>Legit almost driven to tears when the rp3+ he bought had roms on it.>if he's telling the truth, the advice he gives company's only made chinkhelds worse instead of betterTaki's just a younger version of russ when you think about >>10891486He needs to do more chinkheld history retrospectives if he wants to stand out. I'm acutally surprised that hasn't been done considering some of these fucks like wicked and the phaxx were around since the dingoo days
>>10891505True. The one he did on the GP32 was pretty good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAdlXPAcDcY
>>10891497Taki's alright within limits. You can see his bias pretty blatantly and while he isn't too technical he provides a review on par with review factory russ.It's a great intro to launch you into other reviews if you're interested.This is working within the scope of comparison to small hands so yeah. I mean holding Taki up as the be all endpoint of reviewers is like slotting the weird long haired stickman gaybo in there too; just doesn't work.
>>10891505>Taki's just a younger version of russ when you think aboutYa definitely. He's a simple reviewer like many of the others. An entrypoint algo king.
How quickly people here have forgotten Taki's clown moment.

>>10891541Taki released a video about Retroid Pocket 3 claiming he's the one responsible for designing it but all he did is he sent some of his ideas about what the colors of it should be to Retroid.

Just wish RP3+ was like half the size, its too big to not get a safe case for casual carry in all the 4-5 times Im waiting a day and think of it. Seriously considering the micro one that can do ps1 and gba that works as a keychain. RP3 is just too big to casually have to fill time.

I think Ive found every game ever made that id like to run on a rp3+ short of starcraft which will only run in a tiny window for some reason (or the fucking awful n64 version). Pico-8 could expand that library but it looks like one of those instructionals that I buy the license to get pico-8 working on a rp3+ and then the install instructions are outdated immediately after without warning.

Can I expect a RG35XXH plus anytime soon with proper triggers placement and non shit dpad or should I just buy the RP2S and forget about this whole thing?
>>10892447>or should I just buy the RP2S and forget about this whole thing?that one.
>>10892447get a RP2S or a trimui smart pro
Why do you guys use youtubers' first names?
>>10892485>or a trimui smart proDid you actually try both an RG35XX-H and a Trimui?I have the RG35XX-H, the OS is good but the ergonomics are shitHow is the OS on the Trimui? I was a bit afraid about it. The 5" screen surely makes it almost SteamDeck-tier for SNESfags like me
Picked up a RP4P after debating it for a few weeks and it's pretty nice. a good compliment to my Anal log Pocket compared to the 405M I have due to its widescreen meaning I can stream from my PC to it and play ports of Pizza Tower and such better giving it a unique use case. The actual console feels solid and my hands are small enough that I find it comfortable without a grip though the L and R buttons are a bit too clicky for my tastes and I don't like analog triggers in general. the sticks feel great on the other hand, nice and smooth as does the dpad. the screen is a bit better than what /hhg/ led me to believe I was expecting a TN 3DS sale smearfest but I only notice ghosting in NES games. I saw Emulation station has an android version now so I'm giving that a go and have no complaints. Gamecube and PS2 are more fiddly to run than I thought they'd be but still leagues better than my 405Moverall after a week I'd give it a 4/5
hoooooooly shit you guys are trading tips on yt reviewers like you're comparing tech specs oh my fucking goddddddd
>>10892626Here's the only tip that you need.Every single one of them is a soiboi consumerist kike that doesn't even use the handhelds he gets and think that collecting chink e-waste counts as a hobby.
I have a few very capable chinkhelds but lately all I've been doing is playing PS1 on a CRT with the PSP and the component cable. Looks incredible and I can unplug and go whenever I want. PSP means life, or something.
>>10892639The PSP is the last piece of technology that genuinely impressed me.
>>10892701last one for me was my first e-reader. still look at the screen in wonder sometimes
>>10892631>Every single one of them is a soiboi consumerist kikeWicked is a liertal chad despite his avatar. Eta is an ai hooked up to a megacomputer so he doesn't count. I'm pretty sure soniclove is a straight up criminal >>10892639You gave me a retard idea: ctr chinkhelds. Chinks take old ctrs and make disposable mini tv's with their screens so why not chinkhelds?
>>10892807>ctr chinkhelds. Chinks take old ctrsit's crt, anon. ctr is crash team racing kek
>>10892518Russ has always been Russ, idk about the others
>>10892807Wicked is probably my favorite seeing as he's the only one who really covers true budget devices including sometimes straight up Famiclones. Plus he's really funny
>>10891192>>10891181The fuck? I played through a bunch of gc on my 3+ no problem
>>10891324>replacing all images just so it looks nice lolSounds based to me
>>10892529I have a normal rg35xx with garlic os and a trimui smart prothe OS in the trimui is pretty good and they are updating frequently. https://github.com/trimui/firmware_smartprothe real sleep function works really well and is way faster than garlic OS to come back in a game and barely drains the battery %. i recommend enabling the autosave on retroarch. the device has a physical switcher called FN key that when configured in the OS you can activate a bunch of options including overclock or underclock depending on the option you chose, after that is just enabling the switch to get this options to work.theres moonlight supportAlso batocera coming up soon if you want to try other OS >>10892046DS games works really well but without 3D higher resolution optionpsp is a hit or a miss with the games running at x1 or x2 resolutioneverything else bellow runs great specially GBA which is a beauty in that screenone of my complains abou the OS is that you can't hide the consoles that shows up in the home screen. i wanted to hide some consoles that I don't have games in the folder but i could not find a option to do thatfor the price the trimui smart pro is a beast with bluetooth, wifi support, big battery and can run games with shaders that those other devices in the same price range can't
>>10892618PS2 I can see, but what issues are you having with gamecube? It's been doing everything I throw at it ful speed, only setting I tinker with is opengl and vulkan (some run better on one or another)
>>10892903How do you feel about the triggers and dpad?I'm thinking about selling my rg35xx and buying the trimui because this one feels uncomfortable to me, being the triggers borderline painful to use.
>the horizontal fags are realizing how retarded they arethe triggers on the rg35xx plus are very nice :)
>>10892915more like they're realizing how retarded vertislop is.
>>10892919enjoy your inline triggers
>>10892921I will and do
>>10892921Vertislops also have inline though? And they're usually even worse?
>>10892904Yeah mainly PS2 but Ive had some issues with F-Zero and Kirby Air ride, otherwise Its been great
>>10892913they are dome switches and are good. the size of the buttons and dpad are in the smaller size which are PSVita style, but i have big hands and din't feel any discomfort while playing. i also have a rg35xx and don't have any problem playing games using the triggers, been playing Spyro which uses a lot of the triggers for the camera movementso i recommend that you see others people opnions about that>>10892903>one of my complains abou the OS is that you can't hide the consoles that shows up in the home screen.found the option after the post. just need to press the menu button and edit the consoles that you want to show in the screen
Been using Phones/telescopic controllers for two years now as a main stay. Longer then that technically but I didn't have the controllers and comfortable set up that I do now. Bee playing puyo pop on neo geo this week. Thing I love about using phones as an emulation device is the absolute longevity. I have never had any issues with my phones whatsoever. They just work. Not much tinkering at all to deal with; easy access to emulators or apks of my choosing. Amd with h right controllers (gamesir x2 bluetooth and galileo g8) I get all he same benefits of a handheld and if the controllers ever wear out, I ca fix those or replace them. I have spent 0$ on handhelds and about 200$ overall on controllers.(could have been less but I bought multiples for back up; there was also trial and error in finding the right ones) but I'm basically set for YEARS with working devices that do what I want them to do. It's nice. :)I have hard shell carrying cases for the phones/controllers; I am not some zombie that plays games in public unless it's the waitin room or something and even then; very easy to take out and put away. Most of the time; I game comfortably at a desk or in bed.
>>10892125He needs content bro, and nothing’s coming out right now. It’s not like there’s a device whose review he badly fumbled and promised to cover later on after updates but still hasn’t to this day…
>>10893109I'd use mine too since it has a big screen and I don't play outside of my bed, but I only have one phone and I don't want to pay 80$ for a bluetooth controller with the dpad on the wrong place. Don't know why chinkheld manufacturers aren't taking advantage of the situation. Besides, android software is light years behind linux custom firmware.
Am I the only one who thinks the plastic in front of the screen laying on top of the Analogue Pocket's housing instead of being inset and flush with the rest of the body makes it look extremely ugly and cheap? It looks like some amateur 3D print project instead of a product designed by professionals.

>>10893114He mentioned he's going to re-review it just recently.Was he even wrong? The TSP has only gotten better recently, was shitty on release on top of the early units having the shitty triggers
>>10893171The entire thing looks cheap as fuck, I can only imagine how much they saved per unit.
>>10893227>shitty on releaseIn terms of Software, yes.
>>10890645OK Taki
>>10893268Yeah software.For hardware it's great, especially if you got it for cheap during the sales.
>>10893274does he not like the TSP?
what exactly is the advantage of retro handhelds in comparison to just buying a gamesir/backbone/razer kishi for like $40 to $80 for your phone? You have more performance even up to PlayStation 2 and have a AMOLED screen on like all the phones from the last years
>>10893341and you also have a touchscreen so DS emulation also wont be a problem.
>>10893341Good morning gamesirs
>>10893341>>10893348>Do you guys have good smartphones right??Get the fuck out of here
>>10893341I got an entire handheld for $90 that runs twice as fast as my phone and is not 1km wide.
>>10893359it doesn't even have to be "good". Every midrange android phone from the last 5 years can play on Retroid Pocket 4 levels and above. Are you seriously telling me all the people here buying Odin 2, RP4Pro and 17 different rertro handhelds don't have a good enough phone.

>>10893473I just can't get over that glass sticking up so far. It makes the whole thing feel slapdash, like they designed the device for one thickness of glass and then just got the wrong thickness and said , "Ah, fuck. Just ship it."

>>10893493its obv intentionalfeels nice in person
>>10893426>>10893495I am genuinely asking, don't know why that is so controversial. You could have just list the advantages of retro handhelds or the reason why you prefer it, like this guy >>10893398

>>10893634>30$ holy shit what a bagain. 40$ alone is very good.I mean it's a retro emulator so don't expect anything above ps1, gba or PSP but that's cheap.>Marmalaide orange sold outFuck. >already got a rgb30not much point to grabbing one then, I'm presuming that handles PSP games fine.
>>10893268>>10893318considering it was a completely brand new OS it didn't seem shitty in a vacuum. Like, shitty compared to current mature emulation-station offerings from ArkOS or JELOS, sure, but as far as I'm aware it would boot and play your games ps1 and below in retroarch just fine.
>>10893341Here's how I see it:>clip on controls are gay>also you can't get any clip on controls with d-pad in the right location>phone screen aspect ratios are generally fucked, though there are some exceptions>I don't know of any that have front firing speakers>using the phone you have all your personal and business stuff on seems weird to me, though if it's an old phone you had left over and factory reset I guess it's not as weird

Odin 2 Pro arrived today. Feels way more premium than I thought. What's also never mentioned is the quality of the LCD panel that's used. Probably the best LCD I've seen in a very, very long time.
>>10893789>What's also never mentioned is the quality of the LCD panel that's usedI always say that the screen is good enough, also some thread a while ago an anon compared it with his switch oled side by side and the difference wasn't that muchGrats on your odin 2
Saw the Miyoo mini plus like 50% off on Ali express compared to Amazon, looks like it will take a long ass time to get here compared to amazon delivering it tomorrow, but how often do they ship stuff that gets broken on the way? first time buying from them.
what was he thinking?
Update on the x18s refresh: canceled.
>>10894146Nothing, clearly. Head empty of thoughts.
>>10893668>Old phones - recycled purpose - less waste."Clip on controls are gay" The galileo g8 is supreme. And this is the most faggot of responses you could come up with.Hardly any handhelds have the dpad in the right spot either so let's both look to the future on that one.Screen ratios can be altered or changed via video layout. "Muh black bars" < but this still happens with a lot of handhelds especially amongst different systems bein emulated or with aspect ratios that don't match the given handheld....Gee it's almost like any made up bullshit excuses you comes with are asimilar to the issues you guys kvetch on and on about with most handhelds. Cept I didn't pay for said handhelds or collect a bunch like some fomo fag. I get th same functionality or more using what I had laying around and you had to orders yours from accross the pond. Cheers.
>>10893668I missed one. > "front firing speakers" Sound quality on most phones is better than most of the cheapy handhelds, plus I usually listen with headphones or bluetooth. Problem solved.
>>10893378I mean, I know why I shitpost here. But bruh; these autists will screech eternally about why the phone in your hand isn't a proper option. I even admit that there's a few manufacturers that SEEM to have a quality device. The rp3-4, the odin series, and a few others here. But most everythin else is cheap knock of trash that will break in a year and they will with a serious face advise you to not pre-order so as to not get a "bad" model..... Or wait until hardware/bugs have been fixed. But you can see in the reviews and youtube how most of the handhelds that come out have caveats or outright flaws to their design. They'll spend all ay in here talking about how the next model will be better or hoping that it is. It's too bad these designers are out of sync with their customers a majority of the time. Whenever something good comes out; it certainly stands up to the stance "I've" taken on the matter; but it's always a 1/10/gamble on these devices. For me; a phone works and lasts for years; even when the os is no longer updated; obtaining apks is easy. And there's good controllers to be had from cheap to premium quality. Controllers which have lasted me longer then some of these handhelds will function.
>>10894389He gave you a legitimate response. You only don't think so because he somehow offended you. If he thinks the regular switch is gay, no fucking shit he'd think the same for what's basically the same concept, but done before.>G8 is greatIt is, but its the only great usb-c controller until I test out the kishi 3>Hardly any handhelds have the dpad in the right spot...If you only ever saw anbernig and x86 handhelds of course.Your last reddit space REEKS of a sheltered bullied brownoid. You think the avgerage android fag doesnt collect phones because you're too used to your safe space? Plenty of people in these threads use phones without gay bitchboiouts.

>>10894415Your response reeks of projection. I kek'd at the use of headphones line at the bottom though, that was funny. Touch grass kid.
>>10894456Are you the one that drives while playing rpg's? Don't do that.>>10894471>Muh projecting responseDiagnosis? Butthurt.

>>10894146
>>10892618I wish right was a higher quality version of left and the cartridge slot was just a modular device that plugs in the bottom with a lock and can also be removed all together
>>10892447Anbernic has been reissuing the same handheld for 2 years now with different names, so don’t worry. But don’t expect any improvement at all.
>>10884381Somewhat off topic, but it does need to be questioned:Will the PSP be considered retro at the end of the year?
>>10894628yes since it's retro already it will continue to be retro
>>10894646Can't wait for the rageposting about it not being retro then.

Do some devices have a limit of 64GB and some amounts larger for MicroSD? 64GB would mean it's SDXC, and that's up to 2TB. I'm admittedly looking at some chink devices that's not for games, one seller says 64 and the other 128GB for probably the same device. I'd like to use 256GB if possible.
>>10894832Good point.You can get a device without em if you wantbut it will cost you 80 dorra more.
>>10894756>name someone you think is betterA battered brick split in half, covered in slime in a pool of vomit (no sentience).Word has it this up and coming retro reviewer nails the dpad review, the classic contra wiggle test without seeming so scripted or forced. Also for a non sentient brick without speech, it's somehow pronouncing shoryuken and hadouken like a normal human being and not an uneducated 18th generation hick.Good things on the horizon for this brick.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rRpA_8vJV4IAndroid handhelds are just phone parts repurposed and wrapped in plastic.Controllers can be repaired/fixed or replaced. Replacing the entire handheld is more expensive and costly although props to anyone who can diy repair/improve their handheld.

Even to someone like me who does all he can there comes a point where the planned obsolesence catches up to you.That being said; all of my old phones are repurposed.Some of them are security cameras, photo gallery, dashcams, etc. There's still a lot that said evices ca do for years and years. That's kind of the beauty about it; these devices last for years and years if cared for properly.
>>10895987I don't get it, you want me to buy a new phone so that my current one can be "recycled" into an extremely uncomfortable, impractical portable console that's years behind my current handheld in terms of specs (and worse in every single other aspect too, from ergonomics to screen to speakers to storage and so on)? Or you want me to wait 10 years so my next phone can be used as a handheld when I eventually get a new one, assuming my next phone is going to be as powerful as my current handheld?I don't understand your suggestion

>>10896041Shit changed. Europe threatened to step in and fuck with phone manufacturers for their planned obsolescence crap so most of them changed policies.As of now, Apple guarantees 5 years of software support/updates/security patches for your iphone. Google promises 7 years. Samsung promises 5-7 years depending on the model. Most manufacturers guarantee 3-5 years of updates with a few notable exceptions, mainly Chinese brands like Huawei. That said, your argument has a consoomer logic to its core.I always went well over the official support deadline and never had issues; I used iPhones for years (2008-2017), never ever updated them as I needed an untouched system for jailbreak and piracy purposes. The vast majority of apps (like 98% of them) won't cut you off and will never ask for OS updates as they want to keep their poor third world userbase with shitty outdated phones. When I switched to Android, I did the same. Immediately rooted my device with LineageOS and kept it like that for years, never updated once.Last year I got a Pixel and installed GrapheneOS, it's the first time in my life I'm actually up to date with security updates and that's only because the dev team is autistic and guarantees 5 years of weekly patches. I'd rather avoid updating at all but it's automatic in the background and it doesn't bother me as I didn't even root my phone this time.Still, you need to be a massive normie consoomer to actually feel the need of updates/new operating systems/new phones according to whatever manufacturers want from you. You use whatever you own until it stops working, or whenever YOU (not them) want a newer device.Otherwise you're just a drone

Is the R36S just a cheaper and shittier RG35XX Plus (with sticks)?
>>10896321We're in agreement. Which is why I don't own anything flagship at this time. I still have a bunch of lg premiere pro LTEs that work great and are used My latest phone is a paltry Samsung a03s that is a work phone. It is enough to minimalize said consumption but I wouldn't take away people's freedom to acquire better tech over time; simply encouraging the recycling/repurposing of old tech. The "shots I fire" are at the screeching gymnastics done to try and claim that using a phone as a handheld isn't somehow a perfectly viable option. Said bad faith actors have an agenda of course and they hate when you point that out.
>>10896371With sticks mr squidward, with sticks.purely form factor or OS at that point.
Triggers the fuck out of me how people say "PC" when they specifically mean "desktop".
>>10896429>using a phone as a handheld isn't somehow a perfectly viable optionWatching movies on a 2011 iPod touch is perfectly viable option but I'd rather use a big ass 4k monitor, what's the point here

what's the best etiquette when playing arcade/coin based games? should I just keep feeding imaginary coins in to the end or should I just be using one and seeing how far I go?

>>10894413>>10893378why waste phone resources and battery on bullshit when you can offload it to a $27 device
>>10896880>$27 deviceprices shot up to $40-55 after the big sale last month and haven't come downt. an anon that wanted to buy a few of the cheap rk3326 handhelds as gifts
>>10896737The point is;I don't autistically screech at you for doing so. Anyone interested in handheld emulation shouldn't care about the form factor as long as it's viable. If you're not trying to shill handhelds; you shouldn't care about someone using a phone. With a controller there's little difference. Most of these handhelds are made from phone parts to begin with. They are essentially an android phone with a controller built into it's frame. It's cool either way. I don't mind handheld users. Many times I have pointed out certain manufacturers as doing a decent job of it. (Retroid, Ayn for example) however cunts like to derail the thread when someone mentions using their phone. Don't pretend to be retarded or oblivious about this. True /vr residents don't care as long as retro games are being enjoyed and talked about. Tell the shills to chill and this will be a peaceful thread regardless of what form factor is being talked about.
>>10896880Because I already had a phone or two laying around and was gifted one as well for free. Saved $.
>>10892618I'm excited to get one soon too. I've seen them pop up a couple times on my local Marketplace which I'm hoping to happen again soon because I don't want to wait the month for shipping.

Can someone just ban phonefag already? As an iPhone user, I’m sick of this irrelevant shit advice getting shoved in my face every single day.
For what it's worth, that same Ali store will have 35XX Plus and H on sale.
>>10896998Also the codes are region locked, so look them up yourself, goes live in 7 minutes.
>>10891226Damn I just got it and it feels pretty quality for a chinkshit thing. I got the speaker mod too, looking at faggy button customization cuz it's so fucking COOL
>>10897028im guilty of multiple sakuraretromodding orders so so i'm part of the problem and while the buttons have all been nice, someone needs to undercut him and make the same shit -he charges way too muchdamn frenchie
>>10896938>Anyone interested in handheld emulation shouldn't care about the form factor as long as it's viableThing is, we aren't discussing the abstract concept of portable emulation.These threads specifically exist to talk about dedicated handheld devices that are built for retro games. The fact some of them may share chips/OS with phones doesn't mean we can/should turn this in an awkward offshoot of /g/'s Smartphone General. There's nothing to be gained by stating the obvious fact you can also emulate on phones, in fact you're the one derailing the thread by doing so.
>>10894415I wanna get a Surface Duo again (had one before but it had charging port issues) but the prices seem to have stopped dropping and are steadily coming back up. Duo 2 prices are always way too high for my blood.
>>10896938>anyone interested in handheld emulation shouldn't care about the form factor as long as it's viable. same energy>>10896995How long until the next fag seeking validation pops up?
>>10897124The prices spiked because youtubers kept shilling it as the perfect ds/3ds machine. Not even joking.
>>10897143I feel a little bad for telling my friends about exactly that when I had mine, but then again none of my friends are sickos who'd get a Surface Duo.
>>10896983>>10897001Thanks, I'll have to look into that. I've never really been interested in the RG35XX series due to the OS situation and price, although the H is a decent horizontal when it gets the rare drop to ~$40
>>10895731lol
>muos will randomly freeze about 20 seconds after boot sometimes >continues for a few reboots then stopswhat the hell is going on here
>buy rg35xx last summer>not exactly thrilled about dpad, battery life and triggers >plus comes out shortly afterIt's 45 bucks, I'm thinking of picking this up and flipping mine.I also considered the rp2s but it's three times the price.
>>10897373I'm just mad they didn't use that dpad on the rg35xx h
>>10896983fwiw, you can save about an extra $1 with coins if you use the discount finder. obviously make sure it's the same store.
>TSP is 47 USD if your location is set to the USA but 49 USD if you're set to Australiaplease chang why do you do this
Should I get the M18 for $44, or the R36S for $30? The first has an RK3566, the second just has a 3226
>>10897421You are a cheap bastard aren't you.
You around TrimUI shill? Need your input on a few things.>>10897416>forgot about the discount finder againSasuga.
>>10897304never had that, but my menu gfx will bug out when scrolling through options and it looks shitty and annoys me. luckily muos 11 is coming soon according to the devs
>>10897476imagine how much cheap plastic garbage i could buy with those 2 saved dollars though
>>10897508>$2 buckaroos of cheap plasticnot nearly enough to stop a bullet tho
>>10897482I only pretend to shill for TrimUI, I'm actually here to shill the great resurgence of 4:3, 5:4 and 1:1 devices & screens in all forms until 16:9 is eradicated from this earth.The fuck you need?
>>10897531basedWhat's my best bet for an horizontal device id I don't want to blow 130 bucks on a rp2s? I don't need it to run anything beyond PS and I'm very picky about comfort and button quality.
>>10897531Why not 3:2?

>>10897531Describe the d-pad.
>>10897558Not too heavy, not too light, not too hard and not too squidgy. In the right place ergonomically and better than a split dpad; unlike the start/select keys. Haven't had any false inputs with hours of menuing in games.Reminds me a lot of the DSi XL dpad in that respect.The build quality on the TrimUI is really very good for its current age selling price, this ain't your powchuddy or datafrog cheapo device when it comes to buttons and shell plastic.>>10897539>3:23:2 resides closer to hell than to heaven, it's a gateway res
>>10894628>>10894647
>>10897056Phone+telescopic = handheld.An emulation device, held in the hand, with controls.Your argument fails on it's face. This is high tier reddit level gatekeeping nonsense. There's little difference. But you act like there's some noble calling to having it slapped together in a factory first. You're either retarded or you work for said factory.Go get laid dude. A real man would've let it go by now. Stop posturing like a fag about this. Move the fuck on.
>>10897619Phone+telescopic = overheating 2x4
>>10897623Funny. For two years, not a problem one with overheating. Stop projecting Zihan.
>>10897619Then every vaguely electronic device with a battery can be considered a handheld. Why not discussing calculators? Some of them can run games and they have buttons, which is clearly enough to fully consider them as handhelds.What about smartwatches? They can literally run emulators and you bring them around. Clearly, a watch is a portable console.Hell, even a laptop can be considered a handheld. I can hold it in my hands and emulate shit on it.Fuck dedicated handheld consoles, why mentioning them at all? We should fully switch to calculator/smartwatch/laptop discussion.
>>10897632no vent, shit heatsink, screen is also hot, you're gonna be replacing puffed up batteries (45C recommended upper limit) and it's still 16:9 so you're not actually saving any space
>>10897667Aight, first things thirst. Which the BEST calculator for emulators/homebrew ports that's not android?
>>10897531What’s an example of a 5:4 device? I’ve never seen one
>>10897532pls respond
Not sure if this is the place to ask, but how do I play sonic the fighters (Sega model 2) on my rg35xx h? I can't find an emulator for it and GameCube will run slow on the h.
>>10897821You got MAME on that? Its Model 2 emulation isn't good and slow, but that's your only choice.
>>10897683Nspire CAS. Easy to mod, can play up to GBA, can be overclocked.Calculators are still a scam though, still packaging 20 y/o hardware for an outrageous price.
>>10895973No not really. The only main concern is USB-C/Bluetooth connection and whether or not you have a case. I have a case on my phone because I'm out and about for work. Gotta have a case. And I'm not taking it off when I wanna play vidya.So I go bluetooth. The other thing is ergonomics. Smaller the controller, the less comfy it is. I've got those big-ass BSP-D9 off aliexpress for $30 because it's basically a PS5 controller cut in half and has the D-pad where I want it, and can also fit a tablet.
>may>still no flip devices>still no garlicos
>>10897909Garlic’s dead. They aimed for too many devices all at once and just couldn’t handle it.
>>10897532Wait for the magicx. Should be under 50 and plays ps1 no problem.
>>10897909Miyoo flop soon. Anbernic flip will be the first. X18s v4 canceled. X19 still smooth

>>10897972I think the engineer thought it was a better idea to just take my suggestions full on for the successor rather than another refresh. Less work that way and they're taking this a ton more seriously than usual. (They STILL won't tell me the chip)

They announce an RP4P+ with a standard screen size yet?>4.7in>1334 x 750Only thing holding me back.
>>10898301What would be the point in them making an Odin sized RP4 when you can just get an Odin?
Any anons who have the Trimui Smart Pro, how are the speakers?
>>10898321Speaker, singular. And it’s terrible. I’d say even the SF2000 has a better speaker, since at least the speaker grill for it is directly against the speaker itself, and not on the other side of the device to release the garbled echoes that manage to escape the single back-firing speaker
>>10898348Holy fucking shit, is there any chink handheld without ANY stupid flaw?
>>10898373Of course not, how else would they get you to buy the new one?>inb4 Odin 2Show me Xbox emulation on it and then we’ll talk
>>10898320>asymmetrical sticks
>>10897808>What’s an example of a 5:4 device? I’ve never seen oneMostly older monitors and 1280x1024. A very nice resolution to play older games like FF XI in.
>>10898373If you don't want to blow your money on the more expensive ones get either a RG35XX plus if you like vertical or a RP2S for horizontal.Everything else is pretty much shit.
>>10898321It's not mono but it will feel like it since they're rear facing with a cut-out. It's the biggest flaw/hardware flaw the device has now. The OS has improved substantially but still lacks holding L/R DPAD L/R to fast scroll through gamelists.Hopefully they can patch the gamelist issue in the next update and also add syncthing my beloved.>>10898373Nah, like the ereader market. Your perfect device will always have one major drawback.
>>10897667The difference between you and me is that I wouldn't care if people started talking about gaming on calculators. You care though; HOLY COW do you care. You care so much that you attempt to shut out any other discourse and have attempted to silence me. What's wrong? Scared my practical and cost effective approach is gonna dig into your marketing/advertising here on hhg?Because that's what it is. This isn't organic or natural. A lot of users have fled this thread because they know that you will start a little war with them. You have to reply to me every time. Like I said before. A real man wouldn't care, and would have let it go. Someone who cares about handheld gaming in general would just be excited to see more people playing retro games on the go. But no you guys actively target anyone that isn't kvetching about the latest device from your homeland. How do I know this? There used to be several other phone posters here too and even people who didn't use phones were game to talk about it and ask what games were being played on it. You've taken a good idea and turned it into a little game of elitism and marketing for yourselves on a board that threads have to be copy pasted onto it to keep it alive. Save for 2-4 regular threads like the doom thread or the thief thread. Where as this thread is just you guys replying back to each other all day pretending like it's organic conversation. I point this out and thus am an enemy. I'm honored. Honored that you'd go out of your way to ban me. I must have struck a nerve with you several times.>>10897668Wrong again, I live in a desert and have never had issues with my phones over heating. No puffed up batteries or anything. You're just providing flak for the company because I'm putting your BS in the spotlight. You see I can afford AC in my home. They're built a little better than these handhelds a majority of the time. Every phone has some sort of heat sink, usually copper.
not reading that lol
>>10898495In other words."Oy Vey! Shut him down"I accept all of your concessions. Have a nice thread guys. ;)
>>10898373I think 2S is as close as it gets. I would only replace the microswitch start and select with membrane buttons, maybe add a heatsink.
>>10898373>>10898348The trimui smart pro indeed has two speakers, not one. I think you are thinking of a different device anon.
>>10898457New units have the speakers facing the bottom now.
>>10898321idk what the fuck is wrong with the others who replied to you but my TSP sounds great. although I did do the 'mod' where you point the speakers downward toward the speaker grill instead of sideways. there are two speakers, not one, and although it has forward facing speaker holes, the speakers are actually down-firing units mounted above the holes, but since chinks don't know what they are doing they mounted them wrong and one of them is literally pointed directly into the battery.
>>10898557for real? they fixed the triggers AND the speakers? I guess I need to get a second one now.
>>10898557>>10898569Damn, I might actually have to open mine up and point them down. Sound doesn't bother me too much since I can already use BT or headphones if I care but nice to know.
The sales this time are tempting but my RG351V is perfect and I wouldn't give up AmberELEC for small upgrades. Perhaps in a couple more years when the designs are less retarded and more systems or cores become playable.Grabbed another R36S for $26 to gift though :)

>>10894415this looks like the faggoty little chinkvice would fall out if you held it up by the controller. try again
>>10898547The 2S is legit flawless in my book, the bits I would change are more down to personal preference and skill issue (shit eyes).
