SoC Comparison https://versus.com/en/mobile-chipset

>Where to buy
Aliexpress, gogamegeek, litnxt, keepretro, mechdiy, Anbernic/Retroid official websites

>Best Brands
Retroid (Well built, powerful, but $100-200 range), Anbernic (Balanced price, power and build quality, avoid the RG Nano), Powkiddy (Cheap, low quality builds, interesting shapes), Miyoo (One hit wonder), TrimUI: (Good build quality, shitty software, good price).

>What do I buy
Post your preferences: Money (20$ - 300$), Shape (horizontal, vertical, clamshell, square), Pocketable or not, OS (Linux, Android, Both), Systems (Pre PSX is 8, 16, and 32-bit eras, PSX with extras, Dreamcast and N64, PSP and DS, PS2 and GC/Wii capable)

>Before you buy
- Handhelds come with low quality SD cards. Back them up, throw them away, buy new ones.
- It takes some tinkering. You better have bare basic desktop knowledge on how to unzip files and put them in folders. We are not here to teach you how.
- Overall quality of these products is very cheap.
- Reviewers get free handhelds, caveat emptor.

Getting a DSi XL I scooped up from Goodwill's website for $43. I have on already from a previous thrift find ages ago, but the bottom screen has a ton of scratches in it. You don't notice them during gameplay, like when I played through AAI-1 recently, but still I couldn't beat that price. Also waiting on my NGPC I posted in the previous thread due to usps in new york fucking up something.

Yup. I've gotten Easy RPG to work on the Windows version of RetroArch so I attempted a similar setup on the TSP but it just doesn't work the same.

The RTP folders for 2k and 2k3 are both in the BIOS and in the System folder as a just in case (goes in System for desktop RetroArch). As well as the root game files being in a .zip file while being sure there are the .ini and .ldb files as well.

It just isn't working for whatever reason.
>>
>>11057630
It's about isolating your games and saves from the OS, dumbass.

>>11057637
BIOS is the system folder, you can look it up in directories and then core information for whatever BIOS files it's looking up. Try forcing a log from RA, I guess.
>>
>>11057647

And what's the point of that dumbass? Have you ever had a non chink SD die?

>>11057657
Yes. I also had the fucking OS brick more than a few times. Also, enables easy swapping between chinkhelds with the same folder structure.
>>
>>11057657
>>11057630
The card quality isn’t the issue. Having the os and games on the same card is a bad idea. That’s why even Linux chinkhelds like the mseries or smart pro use emmc’s storage and single card slots. Most androidhelds don’t have that problem since they almost always have emmc

I feel like I've tried every potential combination of both positioning of the RPG Maker 2k and 2k3 RTP as well as the two games I have as well and it just does not work. It sees the games to some degree, but when I try to load them it brings up this Easy RPG screen claiming there is nothing in that immediate directory with the correct files (but there actually is).

I genuinely am at a loss as to what I might be doing wrong at this point.

God bless you, anon. EasyRPG games are finally working. I've been trying the past two days and the bare folder WAS something I tried but I didn't realize that there was a specific .exe it wanted me to run (especially because it doesn't show the .exe file extension when I'm searching in the folder).

Now I'd like to figure out how to add my own custom art for ROM hacks and what not. I've gotten the Scraper app to fill in some of the gaps, but it doesn't know what to put for the ROM hacks, of course.

I had assumed I just needed to match the size, file type, and naming convention, but that doesn't seem to be working. Any ideas?

Even this nip units are fucked up looking. Speaking on N3DS, same goodwill online store had a Galaxy N3DS for like $175 but I didn't get it since I have literally every 3DS model, minus the 2DS XL. Then I saw the price they sell for on ebay and went "welp", but I didn't need to spend $190ish on a console that just as a bootleg looking shell.

I meant to get the smart as a gift for my bro to take anywhere since he has an 'eck, I have enough time to try and order another.

i was lowkey praying for that to happen to me too as someone else on leddit had the same experience with ampown

nevertheless my black smart came last week and holy shit this thing is actually amazing, i own an rp4p as a bit of overkill as i basically just play apotris or segment speedrun (shittily, mind you) super metroid on my commute to work but the inputs are so crisp and made me very conscious of the delay or lag of android/the rp4p, it literally feels like the game runs faster on the smart

minui installation was easy as shit as well

i've had a miyoo mini since the v1 and love my mini plus just in general for what it is, but for actual usage this thing btfo's everything kek, rp4p wins still if i have a flight or some shit though

What are some classic 4:3 PC games that I can easily play on my DOCKED steam deck? I’ve already got d2 resurrected in the backlog, and maybe a few rounds of civ 3. Maybe some doom mods too.
Console games are welcome, but 480p+ only as I’ll be playing on a PC crt (with a dock + adapter). I don’t think there’s a way to natively output 240p or 480i unfortunately.

I do want to see what the ocarina of time PC port is like. Are there any other games or romhacks that are best played on PC?

Yeah, I've heard other people say similar and it's incredibly tempting because of it, especially after getting my TSP and seeing the build quality. If I can play the PS1 version of X-Com UFO Defense on the Smart with some SNES/Neo Geo/MAME I'll be sold on it.

i understand the pro has the same dpad and buttons so you already know but goddamn are they good, it's in that "miyoo mini or retroid vita-style dpad" goated territory for me at least with chinkhelds

i tested the included chinese super metroid rom on whatever the firmware version mine came with initially and it ran poor, i was going to see how it performed with the newest official updates but the two files were downloading so fuckin slow (multi-hour estimate for ~100mb files) that i gave up and went straight to minui

minui resolved everything

just a heads up in case anyone gets their smart and just tries to run with whatever it's preloaded with; i don't think there's any plebbit-tier people in /hhg/ that do that though

i'm really not for consooming and collecting these chinkhelds just to, i rocked with my miyoo mini for years and basically held off on a "better" device until the rp4p came out (i'd been watching retroid since their pocket 2 kickstarter; fought the temptations of the rp3/rp3+ cause they were close but just short of what i thought was endgame) by just using an older phone plus dualshock4, but i'm gonna stan for the smart

i literally played super metroid until 3am last night (again i play this all the time and do shitty 100% speedruns of it a few times a year just for fun) and only stopped cause my hands started cramping trying to use the shoulders too much

it just felt so good i couldn't stop trying different ingame mechanics that are more technical cause the inputs are so clean

the dpad is a bit firm though, i could see some people suggesting it "hurts" if they intend to play street fighter or some shit all the time on it

but again, you know all this already as a tsp owner — yes i am being a dick and trying to make you pull the trigger on getting one as i'm THAT satisfied with it

especially at the $28 shipped price it was

Thanks, anon, I appreciate it. Discord didn't end up having any real answers for me anyway, unfortunately.

Current question, does anyone know what the specific requirements are to add art for games? I've been following each emulators file directories that have working art (via Scraper) and I've tried copying their general format, but sometimes it just isn't working for no particular reason (same size, same file type, etc).

The ones that for sure do not work for me at all are Easy RPG art, and I'm not sure why.
>>
>>11058975
I definitely assumed at first that Portmaster was just some odd way to enjoy games for free, which is true to some extent, but not all of the games.

Besides using files from the games that we own, are there any work around for the ones we don't? Not sure I've heard of piracy for .pck files or whatever they are.
>>
>>11059818
>but sometimes it just isn't working for no particular reason (same size, same file type, etc).
Have you checked to see if the pallette/bitmaps need to be a certain value? Like say 256 or something... Idk, just a thought
>>
>>11059853
That's certainly something I could look into. Sometimes images work, sometimes they don't. It certainly feels a bit random at times, but I'll have to check out what you said.

While I'm here, does anyone know if there is a way to show your current battery percentage while in-game on the TSP? I get that I can go to the menu and see it from there, but it would certainly be nice if it showed in the corner as well. I'm pretty sure I read that it was an option prior to me owning one, but I can't seem to find the setting.

Give them time, I've never really had issues with Anbernic products myself (though I only own 3 of them). Once a better chip set is accessible and they can put some joysticks on it, I'll pick up that version because I've ranted before in these threads about my want for a horizontal 6 action button, two joy stick, two shoulder and two trigger handheld before.
>>
>>11060291
So what chip are you hoping for? Would it be an Rk3588s? It would be in keeping with the dual-boot ethos of the previous chip. Also Portmaster I guess. They say that chip hasn't reached it's full potential yet and still hasn't reached it's ceiling.
>>
>>11060295
Based on what I've seen I think even just the Unisoc T820 they put in the RG Cube should work well enough for me. I wouldn't bat an eye at the rk3588s. As long as I can get some decent Gamecube, PSP, DS (maybe 3DS), and PS2 games (I'm not asking for anything super high end on them too, mostly just some RPGs) I would be happy.

The only real option for fighters is the RG ARC for the 6 button layout.

I got my eck oled and it brutally mogs most handhelds. I will say the D-pad is mediocre. It’s not as apocalyptically bad as everyone led me to believe but it’s certainly the weakest part of the controls. Not sure if there’s a way to replace it with anything better. Will eventually swap the sticks out for Hall effect too kind of Talmudic they don’t offer those when way cheaper stand alone controllers and chinkhelds have them.

When the Deck launched, none of these things had hall yet, so I get it on the LCD model. Don't understand why they didn't add them for the OLED one.

Fake news. It's surprisingly good for 4:3. Also almost dead-on for most Megadrive and Saturn games.

What’s with this thread’s hate-obsession with Pokemon? I remember this one guy telling me that there was no difference between Thunder Wave (0 damage) and Thundershock (40 damage), and I corrected him, and he went on this rant about how he “makes half a million a year” and how it’s because he “doesn’t have these baby games holding him back”. I was actually cringing at the levels of insecurity he was giving off, it was genuinely uncomfortable to read his egowanking, I’ve NEVER seen someone get that upset over a mere mathematical difference in numbers. Why do people think that one videogame can have that much influence over them?

>>
>>11061990
Thanks, this looks even fucking worse than the Miyoo A30 in every possible way imaginable. Just looking at it is giving me ptsd with NES controllers stabbing my palms with their sharp shitty corners. How the fuck could a person even claw their hand to use those sticks?

>>11061993
It can run up to Sega Saturn flawlessly (as flawlessly as Saturn emulation can get) and can play some PS2 and 3DS games, which all the other handhelds you mentioned can't.

Finally got my NGPC in the mail after a week delay, thank you USPS New York for holding it for three days before sending to my state. I'm honestly surprised at how well the games I tried out played, Cotton and Sonic were pre-loaded on the Gamedrive cart that came included.

The screen is VERY nice and the stick is amazing as the microswitch on the 8bitdo Neo Geo pad. I need to play more on it later and load that MotM and Card Fighter games onto it. It's a shame this unit died so soon as it did since it would had been amazing for more Shoot em up and RPG games.

>>11062012
More chinkhelds need microswitches/saturn style dpads.

Selling the Wonderswan collection, anyone interested? Mint, all cib, the Guilt Gear Petite Wonder Coin even still has its little adhesive sticker never used.

The latest device I bought was the R36S. Every handheld since, I waited on, and once they released and people started getting theirs, I lost the interest in getting it.

Fuck, I actually bought a little Philips DVD player for $10 recently to hook up AV systems to, just checked and it doesn't have any USB ports so it can't have a controller plug directly into it, only display what's coming through the AV port. Still nicer than those old clip-on screens the sixth and seventh gens had.

Well, other than Aliexpress which charges a premium for it you're out of luck, Retroid rarely if ever has sales. I'd just get it, it already had a (tiny) price drop, they'll probably stop making them soon if they haven't already and no one stepped up to contest its value king spot, unfortunately.

I can't believe they designed a custom Neo Geo handheld, then went through the effort of putting a functioning click stick on it just to then slap a 16:9 screen and a set of four in-line shoulder buttons whose only function is to switch the aspect ratio between 4:3 and horribly stretched widescreen. It's sooo weird.

if it's the lower screen and you decide to fix it yourself make sure you tape the back of the screen. a lot of replacement screens don't have insulation on the back and it presses into the board and blows a fuse.

He's the kind of retard who lets his kids play with "his" toys for a few minutes just to see them trying them, then shelves them forever never to let their kid ever touch it again so they can move onto the next thing daddy wants them to momentarily experience and then get denied. He's so fucking stunted as a parent that he believes parents are buying their kids Odin 2s. If he has even a remote lick of self-awareness, he wouldn't have mentioned children at all and would have tried hyping up the retro community into "enjoying the Nostalgia" of the NDS, which is fucking twenty years old now.

My observations get cemented even harder by his replies to people trying to dismiss him as a retarded shill for his own unreleased product; If his kids love playing the Nintendo DS, then why the fuck are they only playing New Super Marios Brothers and Super Mario 64 DS for their first time for his photo-shoot?

I gave up on d-pad quality on smaller devices to be honest. With the switch I ended up just replacing the joycon shells so I could replace the buttons on the left joycon with a d-pad and I just used that. I'm not a big fan of clicky shit but at this point I'd take that.

Will look into your suggestions!

Let of ask something else:

is there any kind of device that, basically, is the handheld controls that are then connected to a smartphone and makes use of it's power?

This way one could install the emulators on the phone and play like in a handheld with that additional controls

(if I was clear enough...)

if there is such a thing, could you recommend some?

Thanks again!

Galileo G8, honestly the premium option will make your phone like a mini steam deck.
Don't buy anything Razer.
The backbone is cheap garbage.
Gamesir X2 Bluetooth if you prefer. But ergos aren't as good as the G8. Decent for smaller sessions/older games.
Third option: one of countless Bluetooth cheapo options. Just curb your expectations.

most things with a 5+ inch screen are gonna have better hardware and therefore be in the $120+ price range, outside of some no-name Wish e-waste devices like the x12 plus. you'll be lucky if any of those run SNES and GBA at a playable framerate and with many of those devices you'll be lucky if they even let you put your own roms on them. none of the x12 listings on any of the sites even show the name of the processor which is usually a sign that its a piece of shit.
nobody wants to make a 7 inch fatty driven by an f1c100s or a v3s, although i think that would be kinda cool. i'd pay 40 bucks for a device like that

I was pretty shocked by how much I actually liked the Cube at first, but I'm already starting to turn on it. I thought it was shockingly comfortable at first, now I find it kind of uncomfortable. I thought d-pad position was surprisingly alright at first, and now it's increasingly annoying me. I thought I was okay with how tough the d-pad is, but nah it's actually fucking gay and absolutely sucks compared to the Arc d-pad. Downfiring speakers are still, in fact, retarded.

Looking for something that can emulate up to 6th gen smoothly, how bad are the screen/delay issues on the RP4P really?
I was considering the Odin 2 as well, but if I have to splurge 300+ on a chinkheld I feel I might as well just get a steamdeck
>>
>>11064084
I don't think the RP4P screen has a problem with delay, the main issues are the ghosting and the screen being reportedly "too small" for comfortable 6th gen playing but the latter is obviously pretty subjective. The screen also had a green tint problem early on that was fixed via software but some people still don't like that it was there in the first place.

Genuine question, what would you want them to do beyond the firmware updates they've been steadily releasing? Their whole shtick is high performance in a small, affordable form factor, and as of right now, there's not a single handheld that even comes close to competing with the RP4 in terms of size and value.

I much prefer their current strategy of focusing all their effort into supporting what they have for the time being over what Anbernic does, just releasing a new thing every month that uses the same general hardware that's just different enough from one another to stretch official and community support thin as hell
>>
>>11064513
yen is at an almost 40 year low, so yeah its in a bad state atm

Will Anbernic let me trade my basically-mint-condition RG SP for an RG H? I got so entranced by the clamshell that I thought I could tolerate playing n64/dreamcast games with the Dpad mapped as the analog stick but its totally intolerable and I fully regret my purchase tbqhfam
