3566? Will never live up to the GOD that is the 3266. Powkiddy? Will save the 3588 from gameforce. Gameconsole? Their horizontal 36s is coming along nicely. Retroid hawk? Probably hello cancelled. Sjgam? Better than the ps portal
>>11084134vita, in terms of sales, was basically sega game gear of our generation. that's the best way to compare how bad it truly was
>>11085346What’s the ngage of our generation? I always miss out on ridiculous tech
>>11085351sony xperia play. it ran zoomerware like android and candy crush, had real controls. didnt sell, no one cared except for hardcore enthusiasts. phone niggercattle still preferred real phones, just like ngage
>>11085351Google Stadia? It’s technically portable, since it’s supposed to be playable on a phone
If I HAD to get a PSP, which model would be the best? I have a Go, which is nice for slow JRPGs and tactical games, but its kinda uncomfortable for faster-paced stuff like God of War or Ridge Racer, and I kinda want a bigger screen for VNs, but not SO big that the text gets all pixelly and crunchy like on the Vita. Heard nothing good about the 2000, the 1000 has a bigger battery and better ergos, while the 3000 is slimmer with a brighter screen; it also has extra RAM, but apparently that’s only useful in emulation. Which should I pick?
>>11085402I always assumed the 3000 was a no-brainer between the x000 series.I would just get an old flagship phone cheap and a good controller for PSP though. No dealing with battery, memory stick, and horrible analog stick, and you get upscaling that PSP desperately needs.
GBA looks too soulless on a HD display
nice op imageis there a way to install ps1 games on the Sony Erickson phone so that they take advantage of the internal hardware that basically can run ps1 natively? all I could find last time I checked were instructions for running normal ps1 android emulators on it which completely misses the point of the device imo
>>11085351>What’s the ngage of our generation?the playdate
>>11085443the ngage had forward thinking graphics\games>>11085424the ips mods look real bad in person
>>11085438You can probably find something on 4pda. No way that wasn’t tried before.
>>11085104thats literally why I want sleep mode though.I dont want to run to some safe points when Im on the bus stop I want to close it and pick it up as was when I open it up again. like on the actual GBA SP.
>>11085443no the ngage was trying to pull off something that has become the norm decades later. they just didnt manage to pull it off right and it was ugly as shit and made you hold it sideways to your ear to take calls so it was cleraly designed by and for tasteless spergs.the playdate is a gay backwards on purpose hipster device with a nonsense forced gimmick. clearly designed as a thing to show off to your equally gay hipster friends rather than a thing to actually enjoy.
>>11085457>anal logat least get a real chinkheld
>>11085457>the ngage had forward thinking graphicsgames are u trolling? never heard that before. also it looks like goatse if you see the buttons as fingers
>>11085485the ngage ran full 3D games like tomb raider two years before the PSP came out while being a phone.
>>11085438https://github.com/yifanlu/PSXperiaThis it?
>>11085331anons, why do you retards still bother with the chinkshit on the lower end when you could literally just buy a psp and have a far better experience.
>>11085506because I absolutely wouldnt have a better experience with the psp you retard
>>11085408the 2000 and 3000's screens have a tradeoff. 3000 is brighter and more vivid but you get weird interlacing artifacts. the 2000 is much more clean of an image but colors are washed out, it isn't as bright, and you get some ghosting.
>>11085506lost
>>11085513it's okay to be retarded and only buy things because they're new anon, you can't help being a simple minded retard.
>>11085518why do so many third worlders post here
>>11085520>on a board about old things>doesn't understand why people prefer old thingsanon is actually retarded, back to your youtube essays you fucking zoomer
>>11085535>preferring to look at 00's liquid shit crystal displays in the year of our lord 2024just buy a R36S already
>>11085506Unlike you, I actually tried emulators on PSP, DS and 3DS.
>>11085542lmao i put cfw and emulators on mine in 2008 originally, the emulation state as it is now is better than a chinkshit handheld at it's pricepoint all day even to this day.
>>11085535I really dont understand why anybody would be this retarded.
>>11085551it's okay to be a mindless drone who buys new things because they're new your brain is simply undeveloped anon
>>11085549Right, how's the frameskip on SNES going?
>>11085556i don't play nintendo games i'm not a spineless faggot
>>11085554m8 you can cope all you want about your shitty PSP that cant even run SNES games properly but dont be surprised when people think you're a backwards third worlder for it.
>>11085549Nigga, I love the psp, but Its emulation capabilities are only better than those actions mips x handhelds and the v90. Maybe the super locked down sjgam’s but they’re working on it
>>11085560m8 who cares about faggot nintendo shit this site is 18+
>>11085559>>11085559>>11085562>All this anal juiceLiterally NOTHING runs genesis games badly>>11085560Cope, westoid. Third worlders love chinkhelds. The only exception is Brazilians and that’s because their import taxes would make even the rattiest Jew blush
>>11085562now THIS is cope.
>>11085480>atleast buy some ewasteNO.
>>11085424>>11085457I do like the way GBA games look on my Anal Log, the form factor isn't really suited for GBA games but the CRT display mode and the pixel grids look really good. The pixel grid doesn't look quite as good as the original but I'll take it in exchange for less motion blur.
>>11085567Shill me fpga. I don’t really understand what it is too well.
>>11085402extra ram is required if you ever wanna play online ever again. it needs it to run prometheus online homebrew
>>11085556Right, how's the frameskip on PPSSPP going on that God of War?
>>11085589>Getting rockshit in the first placeKekachonky!
>>11085589Wouldn't know, I'm not a gay button mashing baby. Real games for the PSP tend to run fullspeed on the low end though.
>>11085594and on real psp they often can be underclocked at 80mhz which means a lot more battery life
>>11085595especially those shitty jarpigs and vns like amagami and super robot taisen
>>11085598Back before Gen Z unironically sabotaged the word, "goon". It must be a fucking nightmare teaching them any history about mobsters/mafias.
>>11085438Based on my own research when I was really gay about wanting to buy one of these. The discord server said that the xperia play's native emulator sucks since some games aren't compatible and a custom epsxe build is better suited for it.
>>11085570I don't really know what it is either.
>>11085594>games that require pushing buttons are gayAnd I’m sure gigachads like you play the Oreimo dating sim. In reality, you don’t play it because God of War doesn’t run on a 3566. I don’t like God of War either, but that’s not the point. It’s just supposed to be a graphically intensive PSP game to benchmark emulation with.
>>11085615what about dead or alive paradise? that's good game to benchmark "physics" on too
>>11085615My android chinkheld can chew and spit out western Sony shovelware, I don't give a shit. PSP running at all, let alone reasonably well, on garbage chips going for $40 is nothing short of impressive.
>>11085617No shit your android chinkheld cms easliy play psp. Doesnt mean rockshit 3566 is good when the shitpd xd had better psp performance with a different flacor of rockshit. "Playable" is a jewtuber term that shouldn't be used by the common man. Look at russ's v90 review. He actually thinks ps1 on that is anywhere close to acceptable
>>11085623That said, these linux chinkhelds are WAY better than they were years ago. I rememebr when they couldn't play dreamcast when the bettee jxd's raped them like cake.
>>11085623I'm not calling it "playable", I've had lots of games just run, surprisingly. Anyway, the point was PSP does not outmatch $40 ewaste.
>>11085616I’ll admit, that’s also a good benchmark>>11085617Badly running might as well not be running at all. I tried running Ridge Racer on PPSSPP on my Trimui Smart Pro once. Never again. I’ve decided to go cold turkey on chinkhelds for now, and play official handhelds only. Trying to play a game through a compromised experience will just make you think the game is worse than it actually is. You’ll be robbed of the magic that all those first time player felt when they played it on the real thing a decade ago.
>>11085627You were given the solution to that like three times last thread, at least find a game that doesn't emulate correctly.Also, stop having men in mind when playing games, what the hell.
>>11085606This is true, but the native one gets less input delay. It could've been improved if the dev had more official ps1 releases, but it seems crash was the only game releeased in the states >>11085627Give me your sp and joey doesn't get hurt.
>>11085636If a chinkheld can't emulate fucking Ridge Racer... means it is a shit chinkheld. No excuses.
Which version of make is 0.267? I'm assuming its 2010?
>>11085670*mame
>>11082610>Maybe I'll try some Dreamcast.Power Stone is a blast.>>11084669ParaLLEl is the confusing abandoned Mupen fork for power starved devices, not to be mistaken with the accuracy driven RDP plugin. I can't tell the difference between Mupen GLES2 and GLES3, if any. Everyone recommends the standalone Mupen, you can grab an adless build from here if you log in: https://github.com/mupen64plus-ae/mupen64plus-ae/actions>>11085670Google knows.
>>11085676The only mention for its year version was a standalone android emulator. I cant tell if its for its for the emu year or mame's
>>11085767My little anon can't be this inept.
chinks = jewsH700 trash should be no more than $30 shipped at this pointeven powkiddy doesn't try to compete on price any more
>buyee auction keeps fucking extending the closing time every time i bidgod fucking dammit i just want my 'held
>>11085795Well, yeah. Is anyone buying this shit outside ali sales?
>>11085781Welp. I guess I can just use my phone for that.>>11085795Max knows he can get away with it. Even in chinaland. I really hope powkiddy doesnt go apeshit with the price of their rk3588 chinkheld since that chip's like 20 fucking bucks.
>>11085804N3ds or dsi xl?
>>11085808Last I heard no one would adopt the 3588 because it was expensive, so don't hold your breath.You should be using FBNeo when possible, by the way.
Whats the best firmware to put on TSP right now? also is there any way to disable the system hotkeys? no clue why select plus r1,l1 turns up and down the volume
>>11085819It's for v.smile games.
>>11085832That's a deep dig. Anything good?
>>11085506It's the year 2525; anon and his followers have secured every last PSP. Their performance, still unmatched in this era of cybernetics.
>>11085878i mean yeah. psp is not pozzed. it's offline and not cloud machine like all cybernetics in 2525, of course it's good for privacy
>>11085506Every psp has semen on it at this point
>>11085913I had the idea buying a chinkheld used before, but ebay sellers either let their dogs piss on their handhelds or they literally hump it. Wtf is wrong with them?
>>11085913>>11085917'ick on 'ink
>>11085676Thanks for the N64 info. Turns out the first game I was trying was Paper Mario, which I guess is notoriously harder to emulate from some comments I've found online.>I can't tell the difference between Mupen GLES2 and GLES3, if anyMe neither, and I found no mention online. GL render does seem to produce issues sometimes, like the menu was completely missing from Rayman 2, but Kirby seemed fine. I'll just take it game by game.
shills won't like to know this, but the RGB30 is much better to play games on than the pocket.
>>11085990aren't the controls on the rgb30 shit? I'd rather play on my TSP
>>11086013If you're talking about sensitive diagonals, the Pocket does the same shit, so whatever.
>>11085990prolly not your pic but use 1:1 par and integer scale
>>11086017I heard the buttons itself was mushy and the shoulder buttons were bad. Didn't know about the dpad. And the pocket has bad controls at it's pricepoint?? fucking ripoff.
>>11086023They're not that mushy. They have a good tactile response. About as good as the Pocket's buttons. Shoulder buttons are fine, at least they're usable, the Pocket's shoulders are absolute garbage, some of the worst I've ever used.
>>11086019It's my pic. I'm using integer scale with borders.
>>11086027yeah pocket was never a consideration for me. but nice on the rgb30 I wanted one but just went with the TSP instead.
>>11086034After griefing over how bad the Pocket is I was considering the TSP. But I needed enough power to have low input lag. RK3566 has enough power to push Retroarch and match the Pocket in latency.
>>11086023The face buttons are actually god tier. The shoulder buttons are good. It's really just the d-pad. At the very least, the controls are certainly better than what you get on an anal log.
>>11086029nvm i didn't realize the cropping on integer scale override. sure looks good tho
>>11086040Not that anon but TSP is the same amount of power more or less. In fact, Vulkan probably pushes it over the rk3566.
>>11086040>>11086045Oh thanks for the info. I was about to ask how it is compared to the r40s but the controls on it are inverted. so nevermind.
>>11086057Nah, to push latency reduction on Retroarch you need CPU power. RK3566 has a much better CPU than what's on the TSP. The GPU however is about the same.RGB30 can tank, on MGBA:- Threaded video off- Hard GPU Sync On- Max Swap Chain images = 2- Preemptive Frames = 1And still get over 60fps.This gets you very low input lag, same 50ms ballpark as the Analogue Pocket.TSP shits itself badly with half of those settings. Furthermore, the RGB30 can also sync to a 59.727Hz refresh rate perfectly, with smooth scrolling, which is the same as original hardware. This gets you accurate timings, like on the Pocket.Yes, I'm very autistic about accuraccy. It's why I bought a Pocket in the first place. But the RGB30 honestly impressed me on how well it does while costing less than $80
>>11086057rk3566 has vulkan with android btw
I want a chinkheld that runs saturn with an arc layout. it is too much to ask, stupid bitchass yellow motherfuckers??
>>11086080I'm holding out hope one of the 12 anbernig releases this year will be an Arc+ with the T820 in it.
>>11086072rockchip also tends to win in latency measurements, maybe due to using linux and KMS instead of android or the drivers are just betteralso i was able to use all low latency settings and 2+ frames of runahead on everything below MAME and other high accuracy cores
>>110860895 left to go this year. Imagine it'll go something like:28xx V/H70045xx V/H700406/T820406 V/T820???
>>11086094It might be. ArkOS is just amazing. When it came in I tried to use the stock firmware, but the input lag was tremendous I had jittering issues no matter what refresh rate I set. ArkOS performed excelently out of the box
>>11086105nigga you talking chinese I don't get it. I want a fucking chinkheld withan arc layout, those yellow motherfuckers read us? Damn they have it so easy to get some cash but seems like they love sucking ass for sure
>>11085438i got one of these last year as a emulation device, wish it got a little more support would be cool to use it as a at home media device but i cant even use it for youtube in bed
>>11086142nigga nobody cares about sega shit

>>11085604>watch picrel>not one seshblatant false advertising
>>11086209My father got an ngage from work because they wanted to see if it could be useful and his conclusion after a week or two was it wasn't.
>>11086251>>11086209>filtered by symbian os
>>11086209He could play THPS, the real thing, on the go. Could you?
>>11086080No one outside of this board cares about Saturn, Arc was supposed to appeal to Genesis fans.
>>11086256Nage 2.0 software. Pocket pc. Java me. Brew if even it had like, 6 games. Doesn't get better than that.
>>11086259isn't that the console with 64 games loland no, not nintendo 64, literally 64 games in it's library
>>11086209Weird anecdote. Not sure why you felt the need to reply to me with it, because I certainly didn't fucking ask.
>>11086209>kids usually don't appreciate kino when they have it and prefer basic-bitch slop for the massesa tale as old as time.
>>11086273>tfw redditors think it's called the n64 because it has 64 games but it actually has 0 games
>>11086208square up u chinkheld lover damn I need a handheld that runs saturn and has an arc layout is that too complicated yellow mofos? damn
>>11086320mario 64, mario kart 64, pokemon snap, pokemon stadium, zelda ocarina of time, zelda majora's mask, whatever the f-zero game on n64 is called uhhhhhhhhhh...... JACKIE CHAN
>>11086375Zhou will do it eventually. He purposely didn't use the same dpad in the cube so the arc would look better. They're running out of rk3566's anyway.
Some questions to Miyoo A30 owners:Is the headphone audio being limiter to mono a hardware or software issue? If hardware, is the device itself or the included dongle at fault?Does any custom OS make Dreamcast emulation performance any better?Does any custom OS have proper sleep?
>>11086320that's not true, it has snowboard kids 2
>>11086398cube owners are you in here
Finally, a heavier, more expensive Analogue
>>11086429you can buy 20 picrel for the cost of one of those
>>11086429That looks sick but charging an extra 280 dollars for an aluminium shell seems a bit steep.
>>11086437Especially considering that, after taxes and shipping, it's likely gonna cost $100 more than pic related, even though Analogues are made in a factory and aluminum SPs are all handmade
>>11086429anal log desperately trying to find how high they have to hike prices before soi retards stop buying the nanosecond they open orders.
>>11086242I was forced to buy a Analogue Pocket and it's actually better than most chinkshit. That video people post of the cartridge crashing when you tap it isn't true, I can tap my cartridge all day and it doesn't stop running. You can bump into the cartridge when pushing the L and R buttons and it still keeps working. The dpad also passes the contra test, which makes it better than basically any powkiddy or anbernic (except maybe the RG35XXSP dpad, however that whole device is a bomb). I even had both the original steam deck and the oled and the OG Steam Deck dpad is also worse than analogue, Valve improved the dpad on the OLED model however though.Anyways, point is the whole anal log meme is just a meme, the device is better than 70% of chink shit. The shaders also are pretty nice. And how else can you play Pokemon Crystal/Emerald
>>11086465>muh magic dpadnot buying it kid
>>11085606is there a list of the ps1 games incompatible with the built in sony erickson phone emulator? depending on the games it might not bother me
>>11086429I once jokingly said their N64 would be $700, now I'm not sure. Jesus Christ, how do redditors fall for this.
>>11086465wait until you install all the fpga cores and gb pallette and get the third party Analogizer to play games with original controllers and output to crt or pvms WITH LESS INPUT LATENCY THAN THE SCREEN ITSELFI hate analogue so much but the pocket is fucking amazing
>>11086489still has more input latency than retroarch and preemptive frames
How's the rk2023? The dpad looks like death.
>>11086556the d-pad was secret kino actually. extremely comfortable shape as well.
>>11086523what ass did you pull that "fact" from
>>11086429Wow, finally, what everyone needed. An even heavier uncomfortable brick that costs even more money. At least it'll look even better on a shelf and on social media posts.
>>11086429guarantee review copies are already in the mail to youtubers

>>11086406>proper sleepwhat's wrong with writing a savestate and holding the power button
>>11086465I dunno, Russ loved the RG Nano for forcing you to play Pokemon Crystal…
>>11085795Sorry, I wasn't listening. Have another H700 handheld with a 480p screen, a busted dpad, sticks that offer exactly 8 different inputs, and it explodes when charged. $70 + $20 shipping no refunds.
>>11086616Appalling how the 40xx H d-pad fails every accidental diagonal test and gets a pass from all the shills like it's expected and the norm, DESPITE THE FACT ANBERNIC'S OWN DEVICES SOLVED THAT. Even worse when they go off about taking the thing apart and taping the PCB like it's the most casual thing everyone does.
>>11086406>Is the headphone audio being limiter to mono a hardware or software issue? If hardware, is the device itself or the included dongle at fault?software, just tried the latest version of spruce and i'm getting stereo with the dongle>Does any custom OS make Dreamcast emulation performance any better?for dreamcast you're better off getting another device, the a30 can handle up to ps1 comfortably, custom OS (mainly spruce) have improved the overall performance but still dc/n64/psp is more of a bonus than a guarantee with this chip>Does any custom OS have proper sleep?not sure if it's a proper sleep mode,i didn't turn it off completely the other night, and when i picked it up the next day it still had half a battery left, i'm using Spruce since it's getting more updates/attention right now, there's also BTN, MinUI that started supporting recently and apparently there's gonna be a version of Knulli soon™

>>11086429If I wanted an overpriced metal chinkheld I'd rather get an RP2S-M. At least they genuinely tried making it ever so slightly better than the plastic version (fleximesh heatsinks on the chips, corresponding thermal pads on the case, overall nearly 60° F lower than the plastic version when running more demanding games).

>>11088014Do the retroids actually go on sale? Official site has like $2 or $5 off. I see people claim Ali has sales, but they never link. The only ones I've ever seen on Ali are bait and switch where it claims it'd a pro, but when you go to add it to the cart it's actually just a 4. So you think you're getting the pro for under $200 but you're actually getting a 4. Even with a bunch of deals stacked, I was only getting it for a few bucks cheaper than through their official store.

Seen a refurbished retroid pocket flip on the net for 120GBPDoes it worth it ? Why was it discontinued so early in its life ? Were there some issues with the devices ?
>>11088868Early models suffered from a flimsy hinge that would sometimes crack, though that was fixed pretty quickly. Main reason was discontinued was they launched the RP4 which was both cheaper than the flip, and more powerful, so it made no sense to continue the line. IIRC they just sold off what remaining units they had at a discount.
>>11088881thanks
>>11088881They reinforced the plastic, but the problem was the way the hinge itself was designed. The android handhelds are espically made in mind to sell well in china first, so when you offer repairs/returns domestically and overseas, it'll chew threw your funds.

>>11088294I tested it again and it's basically impossible for me to accidently move right, left is a bit easier but still way less than anbernics and powkiddys I've used. Maybe your Pocket is an older model, since some also suffer from worse cartridge ports than mine.
>>11088973none bc adult size hands can only use this comfortably with the weird hand holding when you keep your hands apart.OK I know chinks have small hands but honestly this form factor or majority of vertislops have horrible comfort. the aforementioned Retroid flip is way better for example
>>11088974All the Flop has to do to win is to not be that much of an IED and feel like it had the bare minimum QC behind it. If they can do that they’ll win long term, because Anbernic is killing their reputation this year.
>>11089001That, and they NEED to work with the OnionOS devs to get CFW out on time. The A30 made it clear to everyone that the MM’s success was just as much owed to the community software as it was to the hardware.
>>11088649>>11088694That pasta is pure bullshitfor example the RG405V/353V will struggle with most ps2 titles,

>>11089029I mean the Miyoo Flip doesn’t look great, it’s probably only just a step above the Powkiddy V10 in terms of build quality. But one would hope that after all this time that they made something tolerable. Even better if it has a sturdy enough hinge, but you’ll need someone like Retro Dodo willing to break it like they did with their Retroid Flip.

Why do SNES and GBA games seem to run badly on Vita when GBA at least runs fine on PSP and a decent number of SNES games do too? I don't own a Vita, but I do own a PSP, and I thought the Vita would be significantly more powerful and therefore better at running emulators?
>>11090142The x28 is cheaper thanks to powkiddy’s coupons, but no gammos, so stick snapping>>11091935Retroarch sucks. Simple as. The latest version should be better than the psp emus since chain of memories doesn’t freeze in the op anymore, but it’s still disappointing. Vita needs a great standalone snes/gba emu the same way n3ds needs standalone psx rearmed instead of relying on retroarch.
>>11091935psp is running zsnes-tier hacks, vita is running actual cores and as you can see it's sneeded by humble rk3566 on equal territory

Android has better performance and phone/vita tier sleep. Linux side has better input latency.
>>11092157>basically makes it capable of easily covering n64, psp, and saturn, and crossing over into LIGHT ps2 and gamecube.I don't buy that for a second. Besides, no telling if the memory can be pushed as hard on the 10max3.
>>11088649I was eyeing the win600 for awhile since I wanted a windows handheld that can play older pc and indie games, but the price makes no sense.

Why do anbernic and powkiddy both use rg for their handhelds? From what I know, retrogame is a brand anbernic used before they were called anbernic so why does powkiddy use it too sometimes?
>>11086429They finally opened sales, didn't buy one but I wanted to see what the final cost would be if I did. It's $30 for domestic shipping, how the fuck is it cheaper to get a Retroid shipped from China than shipping an Analogue from America to slightly more east America
>>11092346>564Does fpga have less input lag or something?
>>11092346And this shit is going to sell out in a few minutes.
So I'm looking at an archive for fba romset, and I how am I supposed to know which game is which? I can tell kf2k2mp2 is king of fighters, but everything else is abbreviated too much.
>>11092348Technically, yes. Functionally, no.Emulation has input lag but when you actually work out the math it works out to be about 10ms in the worst cases, less than a single frames worth of delay for 30fps games, and approx 1 frame in 60fps games, and there isn't a single game that can be played in FPGA where 10ms will make any actual difference unless youre a speedrunner who needs frame perfect inputs.FPGA in general is more or less just a marketing gimmick at the moment, there's no quantifiable advantage to it in terms of performance or accuracy. Ask any FPGA enthusiast what makes it better than standard emulation, and you'll never get anything less vague than "it just runs it more accurately". They won't be able to give an example of specific ways it's more accurate, though. Or if they do, their point of comparison will be an emulator bug that hasn't been a thing for a decade
>>11092346Somehow the Ayaneo Pocket DMG seems less offensive with its pricing. At least that has a Snapdragon Gen 2 built into a vertical for some ungodly reason alongside an OLED display, all this has going for it is the promise of "premium" metal and FPGA. It wouldn't be so bad if it weren't for Analogue's atrocious business models.
>>11092380Why has stuff like the mister been so popular then? Surely it can't all be just a gimmick
>>11092389NTA but from what I recall, the MiSTer was a breakthrough due to the hold that Analogue had on the market. It was more readily available, it offered more for about the same price or even less in some cases, and it was open source from the outset instead of needing "jailbreaks" post launch. Off topic, but its interesting that not a single metal Pocket has sold out yet. So either cheaper 1:1 handhelds like those from Powkiddy have done a number to Analogue, either the FunnyPlaying GBC kit and MiSTer handheld announcements have turned some buyers away, or people are realizing that paying $500 + shipping just to play Game Boy is stupid.
>>11092389Not just a gimmick, but a mindset. In most hobbyist groups there's always some sort of overpriced snake oil that people are convinced you need for a "premium" experience, something that has no measurable impact or improvement on the experience, but "true connoisseurs" can just somehow feel in their gut.Audiophiles have expensive CD players that they're convinced read the audio better than other players, even though it's binary files that will transmit identically across all systems. Coffee enthusiasts have their complex, 10-step coffee makers that look pretty but functionally work like a basic, $50 coffee maker. Wine enthusiasts will insist that the quality of the glass you pour the wine in will effect its flavor profile, even though your average enthusiast can't even tell the difference between red and white wine every time they're asked to do a blind taste test.For retro gamers, FPGA is that snake oil. And like all other snake oils, it'll give no true advantage, but "true gamers" will just be able to feel...something.
>>11092451nah I'd say the rgb fanaticism is a better example than fpga. most people on this board couldn't tell the difference between muh rgb/component on a crt or pvm and svideo.
>>11092459That's pretty bad too but I think the only reason I rank FPGA a bit worse is the fact that FPGA devices are so much more expensive relatively speaking.
>>11086429This is very silly, even for Analogue>>11090446I compare them to luxury pens
>>11086429For that price, it should run Windows 11
>>11092492And yet it can barely even handle DOS
>>11092467fpga devices aren't expensive... the whole reason the project exists is because of how much the costs have gone down on fpga chips.whereas there's a whole cottage industry built around rgb. you could easily spend 5k on a pvm with the right ports and all the relevant cabling and devices to get rgb out of your retro systems Maybe you think fpga is expensive because you're comparing it to bootleg handhelds and raspberry pis... although with that mister clone devices set to come out soon fpga retro gaming might cost less than a gba
>>11092549>fpga devices aren't expensiveThe 4gb Retroid Pocket 2S can smoothly run games up to Dreamcast and, with taxes and shipping, will cost you around $130. Are there any FPGA devices capable of that level of power with a pricetag that isn't at least double that amount?
>>11092610There is not a single fPGA device capable of running Dreamcast, lol. There isn't even a working Dreamcast implementation in VHDL. You either get real hardware or use software emulation, there is no other way to play Dreamcast games. Same thing for PS2, GameCube and Xbox (even software emulation is spotty for that last one). 3D arcade systems? Forget about it. Those often suffer from bad software emulation as well. Meanwhile fPGA advocates think that N64 being the pinnacle of their devices with their prices running into hundreds of dollars is somehow acceptable. Oh, and they run N64 with less accuracy than modern software emulators.
>>11092610Speaking of the Retroid Pocket, the Pocket 2S and 3+ both have metal variants that while pricey aren’t that much more expensive. Unless Analogue is producing the metal and the parts all in America or they have their hands on the best metal there is, they’re doing some insane mark up. This is goes beyond Odin 2 or LCD Steam Deck territory.

>>11092648According to their website, inventory is shipped from a warehouse in the US. https://www.analogue.co/support/general#shippingConsidering they charge more for domestic than most charge for international, wouldn't be surprised if they make more money by just shipping all the units to the country that'll be buying the majority of the stock in a single massive package then charging for individual shipments from China.>>11092636Didn't occur to me but you're right. The highest markup Retroid ever did for aluminum is a 50% markup, but Analogue's markup is 127%. That shell's more expensive than the whole unit, apparently.
>>11092346>>11092636
Aluminum shells for gaming handhelds are an extremely stupid idea. People's monkey brains somehow associate metal with "premium" feel (even though that aluminum wouldn't even get them two cents at a scrap shop) but don't realize that laptops can only be metal because they are supposed to sit on a table with none of the hottest components ever touching your skin. Phones and tablets? Those are not expected to do much work at all and metal chassis are mutually exclusive with wireless charging so they are almost unheard off in the former nowadays. By contrast, chinkhelds will run those same SoCs at blistering hot temps if you torture them with PS2 or Saturn.
>>11092685Anbernic charges you $2.65 for your customer rights? lol
>>11092689I think gamekiddy was the first to start the dumb metal meme in the rg350/pocketgo 2 days.
>>11092689Agreed, never understood the desire myself. Even without the heat issues, or the higher prices, I think I'd always take a good quality plastic over metal anyways because it's something I'm going to be holding up for extended periods of time, why would I want it to be heavier? Also plastic is typically room temperature, while a piece of metal is always cold when you first pick it up, and I can't imagine that's as comfortable to hold.
>>11091935your info is at least 4 years out of date. GPSP has been ported to Vita and GBA games run full speed. SNES can be confusing because there are 4 different SNES9x cores, but the one you are looking for is SNES9x 2005, which runs 99% of games at full speed. Just remember to turn on the speed hacks in the core settings. there are a few games which don't work in that core like SMRPG, but the SNES9x 2002 core can handle them (it does have some graphical glitches in other games, which is why I don't recommend it for everything).as for why the PSP had better emulators, it was because people had been working on it for longer, and the Vita was notoriously hack-unfriendly for most of its life.

>>11092718It got slower from 1.0 to 1.1, multiple people brought it up and he said it was one of the things being worked on for 1.2 but I don't see anything about it in the changelog.
>>11092685I forgot about the dock. Even some Chinese handhelds have mini HDMI built in or allow for USB video out, that’s some top tier jewing by Analogue. It’s weird that more people aren’t holding them accountable.
>>11092739What's especially heinous is the fact that, it's just USB C video out, the protocols for that already exist. Making it require a proprietary dock would have been harder than just making it universal.

>>11092346>how the fuck is it cheaper to get a Retroid shipped from China than shipping an Analogue from America to slightly more east AmericaShipping is massively subsidized for China.
>>11092884They uses the usps as my local carrier once it got here from China.
>>11092860>anal>log
>>11092892Yeah but one would assume China's paying the USPS through the subsidies
>>11092721it cant play MAME either
>>11092980Yes and no, it doesn't have MAME itself but lots of cores exist for individual arcade machines. That said, yeah, likely a small list compared to what a half decent emu handheld's capable of
>>11092749it can, and with less input latency than hardware your fpga shit still fails aging cartridge and inaccuracy is fixed in retroarch by reporting bug and updating cores
>>11086429I used to think the main reason they did the limited run deals was because of wanting to make a limited scarcity, encourage FOMO and stuff like that, but I recently had a thought.What if the reason they're doing everything in limited runs is because every normal person who'd want an Analogue already bought one, and the only market left is the obsessive collectors who need every variant? What if it's "limited" because they wouldn't be able to sell to anyone beyond that extremely niche audience even if they wanted to?
>>11093058you might be overthinking it, they just need to push out the 'logs regularly, production run the exact amount they know will sell, move onto next memethis market cycle works because bugmen feel it's a subscription and not a fundraiser/scam
>>11093083tl;dr it's the perpetual "new" rehashed old shit
May Analouge go the way of Radioshack, Long John Silver's, the Dinosaurs, Che "shitpiece" Guevara, Total Drama after World Tour, and OJ Simpson
>>11093107Amen
>>11093083Only reason I feel like their well dried up is because they haven't had a new product, or even a new price point, in several years. Pretty much every other console company (even "real" consoles like the big three) rely on some form of constant change in order to get constant console purchases, mainly being new games, new hardware, or cheaper hardware. All other handheld companies do this in some way or another (new games via stronger hardware with more compatibility, new and cheaper hardwares self explanatory), but Analogue doesn't have any of this. Nothing's happened in the last three years that'd make someone go "hm, maybe it's time to get a pocket". Everyone who wanted one and can afford one bought one.
i just want to see the odin 2 price sink lowerdont care about anbernigs with unsafe charging circuits and powkiddys with literal trash plastic making 80s horrible soviet plastics look like high tech composite
>>11085331What made Anbernic snap? Why and how did Zhou GO DAMN CRAZY!?
>>11093140not even the chinks are completely immune to the effects of chinesium fumes.
>>11093140money
>>11093120they can hype new releases via advertising, youtube, sponsor rich ppl shite, etc.just have to sync rate of releases to rate of paychecks and make it look new enough. keeping the price stable allows scalping so it looks like a legit investment when it's really just a shitty magical game boy. they're going the rolex route
>>11092386>ayaneo pocket dmgabsolute perfection
>>11093163That only works in terms of fashion, to price the riffraff out. When you’re selling an expensive Game Boy for almost as much as a PS5, let alone a Steam Deck OLED or Odin 2, nobody is going to go for it. The most they could have sold this metal variant for is like $275-300 tops.
>>11093191they could make 50 and sell 50 and it'd still be a success. price doesnt really matter either, it appeals to the need to have and show off expensive shit. it's inherently fashion
>>11093183Yes. I need a 3.92 screen with a fast processor, runs android, has touch controls, and costs $300 so that I can play advance wars the way it was meant to be played.
>>11092685PowKiddy's better than both at beating the Analog, with their 1:1 screens and symmetrical controls, something both Retroid and Anbernic haven't given us yet.
for playing FF4-6 and Chrono Trigger on PSP, do you prefer using SNES emulation or just playing the PS1 versions? PS1 versions have bad load times, but SNES emulation on PSP is buggy and drains the battery really fast. So wondering what you think would be better out of those options.
>>11093457I prefer the GBA versions.
>>11093457I believe the PAL versions have lower load times, but I'm not sure. I find weird that no one ever made a patch to fix that.
>>11093334im gonna use it to continue playing romhacks, games with overclocked cpu, translations, new mame games, etc. that i already use my rgb30 forit's all about the screen
it's comfy.
>>11085331i made this exact general 2 years ago and got nothing but hate. glad the retro community realizes original hardware is over-rated
>>11093609Oghardware. Chinkhelds. Phones? Dont matter, they were all meant to be used and russ cant stop me. Android > Linux, though
>>11093617emulation handhelds. around the time the powkiddy GBA came out. got called cringe and told i just shuld buy 200$ worth of games, and do a billion hardware upgrades to an old gba. I really just want to play gba in the simplest way possible, and im glad everyone has come around on that.I only came here to ask whats the best way to play up to gamecube. thinking about powkiddy rgb30, but wanted to check here first.
>>11093625>gamecubethere's a rg405v for $100 on ebay
>>11092713Interesting. I'll wait and see I guess. But currently it's actually more expensive than an 'eck which makes me chuckle.
Just to make sure, how well do all of these games run on PSP?
>>11093730Most GBA ones? FineMost SNES ones? Barely, gonna have to tweak shit
>>11093748I heard SNES9xTYL Mod could run a lot of games pretty well nowadays. I'm mostly worried about the SA-1 games (SMRPG and Kirby) and the translation patches (since they increase the size of the rom and therefore can be fucky on older emulators even on PC), wondering if those even work at all
RG40xxVwill it be good? who has the details
>>11093730Mario RPG is a pipe dream, and Castlevania IV might have minor slowdowns. The others are at least going to be playable.You're never going to get the timed hits in Mother 3, and just forget about Rhythm Tengoku.
>>11093415what is that game
>>11093730What percentage of the SNES library do you think the PSP could run acceptably? Might just get a fullset considering they're only 3.5GB, but if most of that's wasted space it doesn't make sense
>>11093798>and just forget about Rhythm TengokuInterestingly enough I did find an old save file on my PSPThat indicates I did play at least a little of itI had to replace all the roms since they were all fucking sceneshit with annoying cracktros and I deleted the saves with them (I already 100% the game on both GBA and 3DS so I also thought it wouldn't really matter if I deleted it), but I guess I should have kept it to see how far I got on PSP emulation. Guess when the battery comes in I can try again.
>>11093951The corners that have to be cut to get games to run on an ancient MIPS CPU OCed to 333MHz are insane when you have great options for emulating these days. You will get glitches and shit audio.SNES is not easy to emulate even when you stop caring about accuracy and compatibility. I would only expect the simple games that don't use special chips have any chance of being playable. gbatemp probably has a compatibility list from back then.
>>11094024>you have great options for emulating these daysyeah but the psp is kino and doesn't feel like chinkshit'eck would be the best option but costs a fortuneNew 3DS is good but terrible ergonomics and has worse PS1 performance in exchange for better SNES
>>11094039Unlike the r*tr*id, the POWchaddy x28 isn't a flat rectangle and was made with ergonomics in mind. There's also telescopic controllers, but you might not like the stick positions if it bothers you...
>>11094082bottom sticks on handhelds always bothers me, I hate it on the switch lite, no fucking idea how it became a standard. always get in your fucking way
>>11094082And unlike the X28, Retroid's ram clock high and their sticks don't misinput. Fucking hell, stop pushing that defective shit.
>>11093625Rgb30 won't do GameCube. I use it up to psx and it's great, n64 is so so and Saturn is kinda okay with standalone.
>>11093789It'll be another h700 but with a 4 inch screen.
What should I go for psx, saturn, dreamcast games? Price below 100 bucks, nothing else matters

Opinions on the RG Nano? I already own a Miyoo Mini Plus, which I love, so it may be overkill, but the idea of having something I can literally put on my keychain and just play a few minutes while waiting for something is tempting.Or is it just ass and I should just stick to cellphone games for stuff like that, or carry the Miyoo around?
>>11094106Doesn't the lite have the stick on top?
>>11094148Max said the 40 wss the last h7 device. No idea if he's bsck with rockshit or going full android, but no mare h700.>>11094173X28! Powkiddy's coupons make it 90 or even less. 405v has gammos, so no stick snapping...
Bought a trimui smart pro right before coupons ended so I could play ys 7 and tactics ogre. This is my first one of these things that isn't a nintendo handheld and I'm wondering if there's a guide I should read before the console arrives.
I found a PSP 30001 for 60, do I buy it or not? I was saving my money to buy a $120 guitar

>>11094238Buy the guitar. You can get a psp cheaper and in better condition on buyee later.
>>11094238if your device can run cloudflare captcha, it can run ppsspp
>>11094238Every psp was used as a porn device thus every psp has semen on it. I wouldn't touch a used psp with a 10 meter pole.
>>11094108Shit was so defective no one wanted to make a custom OS for it. Powshitty has also stopped giving it support.
Is rgb30 good for anything?
>>11094214While you're waiting to decide, buy a K10 (about the same size) for a third of the price. Game Poke/Brick Game handheld is also acceptable if you like this size
>>11094214>something I can literally put on my keychain and just play a few minutes while waiting for somethingBrick Game is perfect for this. Pic related requires two AAA batteries and has no backlight but is perfect for a quick game of Tetris or Snake
>>11094303still best input lag, screen, price, storage capacity
>>110943031:1 and 8:7 > 4:3
>>11094404>>11094332How about retroid pocket 2?
>>11094425Screen seems too small for me desu but it seems to be a well made handheld. Compared to the competition there's no contest in terms of build quality.
Any devices that have decent analog sticks?
>>11094459Retroid and Ayn are still the only ones making decent sticks.
>>11094303I like it after replacing 1/3 of its parts, but no, the whole battery babysitting deal is unacceptable. Were this market not total shit, the Unicorn and the Cube would have retired the RGB30 with ease, alas they suck in new, different ways.>>11094404And 3:4.>>11094332There is no input lag test for RGB30, you're going off from ONE sample of a completely different RK3566 device on a completely different display. And its retail price isn't even that competitive (not that you can get anything good for cheap, but still).>>11094425The 2S, not the 2, is the only chinkheld I'd call a decent, well thoughtout product, but some get hung up on the 3.5" screen while others whine about the "chin", despite that being the reason it has room for front firing speakers which are sorely neglected.>>11094459Ayn's and Retroid's. Sure, you can buy switch hall sticks and swap them, but the problem often lies on the software (35xx H, 40xx H, X28, etc) with no fix.
Is there some small keyring console for 8bit games?
>>11093915SNK vs. Capcom: The Match of the Millennium, probably.
>>11094479>a completely different RK3566 device on a completely different displayit's the same linux drivers also see >>11086072
>>11094315That looks to be about the same size as my Miyoo Mini Plus... I think it would be a little redundant. I'd want something that just fits in my pocket for every day use, but just a little more engaging than a phone game.>>11094326I've got a bunch of similar devices to this but I probably wouldn't get enough out of it compared to just messing around on my phone.

>>11094769I'm technically juggling Super Picross, Pokemon Blue, and Wario Land 3, but my attention isn't equal between them. I plug away at Picross every once in a while between other stuff, mostly. This might be my favorite Picross game I've played - it looks nice, has good music, the framing device with Mario and Wario is charming, and the puzzles are interesting and sometimes odd. Too often in the other games the end result was something boring.I've also recently been playing Legend of Mana, and bits of Equinox and today Monster World IV. I had never paid attention to it before, but Retro Achievements has that year-long contest, and I had always wanted to play Legend of Mana through, and Monster World IV for the first time. Never heard of Equinox before, but I thought it was pretty cool if a little frustrating. I'll definitely pick it back up another time.

>Okay before we jump into game testing I want to take a moment and pause, and talk about something that I'm calling "Portgate". The idea here is that every time Ambernic releases a new product, there's always some sort of weird controversy or fumble with the release, and this one is no exception.>The most recent issue has been with the RG Cube which I went into detail about in my full review but essentially there was a bunch of light bleed around the edges of the screen, and it's still a crapshoot whether or not you're going to get that light bleed either, and so there there is a risk when it comes to buying one of these devices, and we still haven't gotten any definitive answer about what's supposed to be going on with it.>Most recently I've been hearing about the RG35XX SP. Apparently people have just been charging this and it is making like chips blow up on the device. One guy even had his catch fire! And so I'm not sure what's going on here, I am not an electrical engineer, I'm not qualified to talk about it, but I think it has something to do with just cheap components that they're using when it comes to the charging mechanisms that they have within these devices. And I'm not sure why the SP in particular is having these issues, if it's something to do with just the form factor, or maybe the components that they used in it, but either way there is some small risk with that as well. They've sold tens of thousands of these and I've seen like three cases altogether, but still anything above zero is a little bit scary when you think about charging this thing that might blow up someday! Why is this guy so critical of Ambernic? He just dumped on the entire company, characterizing them as failures that screw up every device they release. He's even spreading rumors that some of their devices could explode or catch fire.
>>11093415You're gonna press A here, for "Yeah man, I wanna do it."

Visted a friend over the weekend. He had an R36S and I've been looking into handhelds.I tried out zelda oracle of ages for 30 minutes and the buttons were shit and the dpad diagonals were practically non existent.Tried figuring out the buttons and found out the R button on the side was a reset button. So I took a picture.Also haven't played a vertical since the SP days, and since I did factory work and fucked my finger joints, weaving my fingers for longer perioids isn't comfortable.I was looking forward to seeing the miyoo flip, but I guess I'll keep an eye on horizontal devices instead.

>>11096548>>11096707I just finished driving 9 hours to get there and they were all in the middle of playing some wyrm boardgame. I just quickly cut up the sausage and the cheese I got from a local cheese factory and sat the fuck down.Any recommendations for a horizontal, good n64 capable, 2 stick, <100usd?I might just go for the retroid pocket 4 pro if there aren't quality cheaper options.
>>11096509Yes that's exactly what I was doing. I was gonna post this pic and say "post your tower of power". But I kinda got carried away
>>11096729R36S, it's $25 before couponshttps://www.aliexpress.us/item/3256806871949109.html
>>11096702I never was a big fan of traslucent builds, I can see why others like them. To me, they just don't feel as nice to the touch as matte plastics.I probably would've gotten the purple one if it was matte, it is a very bold yet subdued tone.
>>11096729RP2S.
>>11096729The retroid 2s would be my first choice, but retroid tax makes it a bit higher than 100. 3.5 also might not be enough for you.The x28 is under 90 sometimes with sales, but it has cardinal snapping with zero cfw to fix it. The android build also sucks ass.The x18s has cfw, but it's discontinued. (The engineer is STILL working on it. They might not fuck around this time)The e6 plus (rk3566) with chaos or android 13 is said to be great for n64, but there hasn't been videos posted yet.Tldr: I have no idea.
>>11096729Just go for the p4p and then decide for a little more you can get an odin 2 instead and then decide that you're better off with a steamdeck
>mfw you're all buying R36S and RGB30 and there's nothing you can do about it
>>11096705It's almost like a 4:3 TSP, which would be pretty based were it not for the usual Anbernig triple decker of bullshit>overpriced>faulty diagonals d-pad and sticks (though the TSP sticks suck too)>weak chip that doesn't compete with others in its price range
>>11096705I don't see how. That start and select placement is abysmal.
>>11096775>Buttons are the right size co.pared to the sp which might've been smaller than the vita's>Released when anbernic's team still hasn't solved the snapping issue>Overpirced as FUCK h700 device from the lit up sticks alone somehow>Last h7 device, but ends on a wet fart.What the FUCK was max thinking? And what chip will they use in their next generation linux devices?
>>11096804It's not the worst one out there.
>>11096775down forget >downfiring speakersI know the speaker situation on the TSP is kind of fucky, but at least they put the holes on the front.
>>11096751e6 plus vids are out there. it's unusable because d pad is total garbage.
I am really tempted to get an RGB30 down the line or something less expensive which can also handle vertical NDS emulation, it seems like its emulation for other systems is not great, including PSP.
For the Vita, how well do the standalone emulators on Adrenaline work? Retroarch’s menus are too clunky, and mGBA standalone is just a little too slow, so I was just gonna install gpSP, Picodrive, and all that shit on the PSP emulator to turn it into an all-in-one emulation app instead.
>>11096827>Released when anbernic's team still hasn't solved the snapping issueAt this rate I'm certain it's by design, it's on both Linux and Android.>Last h7 device, but ends on a wet fart.I'm shocked there won't be a 28xx V when fags are still scrambling to buy those gimped Miyoo Mini v4.>>11096849Took me a while to get used to reverse acceptable, and I think it only works because the 28xx is tiny. There's really no reason for any non-mini chinkheld to not have those on top.>>11096947Get a 353M d-pad from Anbernic for $10 before they stop selling those then. And it's great for GBC, GBA, NES, SNES, NGPC, vertical arcades up to a point, yada yada you heard it all before. Wish it would run N-Gage though, it'd benefit from the screen.
>>11096957I recommend retroarch since standalone psp had input delay I could feel in a couple of games and a couple still don't work. This was gba, I think genesis is fine, but that probably has standalone for vita too.
>>11096963You mean like a d-pad for modding or is that a 10 USD retro handheld?
>>11096975The actual d-pad from the RG353M and its rubber membranes (though I find the original membranes fine). Massive improvement.https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006674068658.html?You message them asking, they'll give you the instructions of which item to order.
>>11096985OK, so that would be used on the RGB I think, thx.
>>11096705It'd look perfect if it weren't for the white letters on the buttons... I mean, am I the only one that's bothered by it? I much prefer PowKiddy in that regard, solid buttons are sleek and in this case it'd fit the rest of the hardware great, with all color coming from the RGB analogs, so sleek.I also hate colored buttons, especially black ones with colored letters, though I dislike when the whole button's colored too. I like black ones where the symbols are just a texture on it.I might be OCD and/or autistic.
>>11096849All of those look dumb except for the ones labeled "ehh", "dumb" and "wtf"
Sy bake new
>look at handheld resolution chart; >notice that 854 x 480 is basically a strictly-better version of 640 x 480 (does integer scaling with less black-barring, for more systems, compared to the latter); >search handheld spreadsheet for 854 x 480 res screens; >only non-outright e-waste-tier device is the Powkiddy RGB10MAX3 Pro, and even that one is somewhat too expensive for what it offers (no Hall sticks, half the RAM of devices at similar price point). Well, shit.
>>11096734>it's $25 before couponsmine shows 35$
Question as a newshit to this. RG30 coming in today and gonna install ArkOS. Do I set up my sd card now after formatting it, or do I have to wait for the console, format card, put it in RG30 for initial setup, then add in ArkOS?
>>11097991you just gotta dd (copy) the arkos img to any microsd
>>11098018also you gotta boot it once to set up the rom partition
>>11098019So boot first, then insert sd card with the arkos img, or insert sd card then boot?
>>11098029rgb30 has no internal storage, it boots microsd slot 1. if you've ever created a windows usb it's the same thing
>>11098031So you're saying I should have sd card in the handheld, boot it, then install arkos whenever the setup is done, correct?
>>11098038yeah i think. arkos is already (99%) installed onto the microsd after "flashing" the microsd
>>11098041Aight ty
>>11097991Set it up now. ArkOS is awful picky about flashers, use Win32 Disk Imager over Rufus.
>tag a release candidate>make drastic changes afterwardsWhy is CrossMix like this, and why do they keep messing with audio settings they don't understand.
>>11098251I'm catching up on reading the channels and apparently now PSP performance got fucked? How do they keep fucking up one of the emulators with each update?
>redditard on sbcgaming pointed a lamp on an anbernig SP's H700 (not the battery) for 20 minutes to prove that all SP's batteries are not firebombs>people who point out that removing the battery from its enclosure, you know, the thing that's been overheating and exploding, so that the lamp can hit the SoC makes the whole thing pointless, got deleted>has a melty, gets upvoted anyways>coincidentally, Ross releases a letter from "his contact in anbernic" stating how they've investigating themselves and found no wrongdoing, we sold 50k of these things and since we positively, objectively know only the 3 people complained about exploded in the entire world they're safe and effectivesuch a neutral and balanced space, I regret reading there.
>>11098270Kek this whole shitshow has convinced me never to buy an anbernig low cost handheld. Also to wait a month before buying any handheld in case something like this happens again.
>>110982703 explosions is three too many. And unreported explosions and those that didn't report to Anbernic could be higher.
Which one should I get RGB30 or RGB20SX?The RGB20SX has 5000mAh battery compared to the 4100mAh of the RGB30, but has only one front firing speaker while the RGB30 has two side firing speakers.I already have a RG35XX so I don't mind vertical handhelds, but the battery bulged.
>>11098467why not just replace the bloated battery.
>>11098482I already bought the battery, but now I want a device to play in a 1:1 screen.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jb4eNIkpnC4It's out
>>11098525>here's another small handheld that can only play up to ps1Too many options not enough innovation.
>>11098525>i don't like GBA resolution for a handheld designed for GBAfucking hell, russ
Anyone running emudeck? Is it worth the price over Daijisho? Was hoping to find an apk floating around to try it out before buying but I can't find an upload
>>11098467Get the RGB20SX, they're the same price now and the vertical version has slightly better thermals (chip is above battery)
>>11098561>emudeck androidI didn't even know this existed. It looks jank and emudeck isn't a frontend so I don't know why you're comparing it to Daijisho. Are you looking for ES-DE?
>>11098467>RGB30 has two side firing speakers.they're firing inside the case, another reason to get the RGB20SX
>>11098467The 20SEX is less magical, get the 30 instead
>>11098270jesus fucking christ
>>11098645I knew he said stuff like this but I didn't think he would actually list it as a con in a review lmao
>>11098270>Ross releases a letter from "his contact in anbernic"How can anyone trust his reviews at this point if he has a "contract"?
>>11098762it's a cry for help, he didnt realize theyd release the cube
i'm enjoying this little device way too muchgreat battery, controls, screen, grip, size, everythingit feels so great to just toss this into my pocket and not have to worry about damaging or losing any of my DSes
