Miyoo won’t last to 2025. They’ve made it clear that most of their success came from community-made software, and not the actual hardware they were selling. Switching to a new chip will cripple their software, but the old Miyoo Mini chip doesn’t have the power to keep up even compared to Powkiddy rockshit releases. They have nowhere to go.

They had a cute micro GBC with no bezels for $42 when it first released and this was at a time when there weren't that many handhelds and anything faster than 1 GHz and not using OpenDingux was appreciated, then the community made Onion which was functional and pretty. To be clear though, it was still a bit outdated at the time of release. It had no GPU and only 128MB memory.

Everything after the original MM was a misstep in my opinion, even the MM+ even though it was obviously successful. Although the MM+ would have been fine if they actually kept the MM around.
>>
>>11099814
Indeed. I think they randomly take from ArkOS's RK3326 core builds and libs from Ubuntu 20.04 and debian oldoldstable. Most of the self-compiled stuff should be built on a Ubuntu 20.04 docker though. I don't think they provide any build scripts or sdk, just dump the binaries into the repo.

Is there a reason why they don't just leave the cpu governor on "ondemand" instead of setting a specific, fixed cpu frequency setting for many of the emulators? And some of them just have bizarre choices, like mesen and PPSSPP setting it to a fixed 2GHz (the SoC specs put it at a maximum 1.8GHz) the while Drastic sets it to 1.6GHz

If it's anything like similarly priced chips, ondemand is broken.
>>
>>11100327
mGBA performs like shit with ondemand in my experience and has random slowdowns, which is funnily why they switched to threaded video recently. They've basically admitted they have no idea what they're doing when it comes to those choices, and they're still using minfreq with the performance governor for some reason even though they were told like a month ago they need to set max.

Guys, how can you have something like a handheld without it being the devices from China that break if you hit them with a strong wind, or stupidly expensive and overpowered things like a Steam Deck?
Is there an alternative for those who want to play old arcade games, PC Engine games, etc.?
I was thinking of trying to "assemble" one using something like a Rapsberry Pi + a portable LCD screen, but in this case I'd always need to be near a socket to use it...
>>
>>11100815
>something like a Rapsberry Pi + a portable LCD screen
spend the $25 (coins + coupon) on a R36S, that is what these are
>>
>>11100815
the durability bitching here is overblown, I've had a RG350M for 4 (?) years and it still works great and holds a charge. meanwhile I've had to get new joycons in that same time and the charging port on my 3DS is super finicky
>>
>>11100815
Steam deck really isn't that expensive all things considered imho.. Even the raspberry pi+all the needed accessories will run you about 2/3 of the price of the steam deck and it will be 10 times worse to actually play things on.
Don't get me wrong, building stuff like this for fun is great and they have their own merits but it's rarely worth it in a financial sense.
>>
>>11100815
The raspberry p would work, but there's also the powkiddy a13. Which is also a piece of shit
>>11100825
>Shart36s
I shall wait for the superior game console handheld. The r40s.
>>11100828
Never say handheld durability is overblown. The shartui dumbo's shoulder buttons can get disjointed with a single drop. If chinks can casually shit on the handhelds they like, I don't see why everyone else cant.
>>
>>11100838
To be fair, chinks can be pretty brutal. They even insult the sellers without giving a fuck.
>>
>>11100845
>they even insult the sellers without giving a fuck.
Yup. and its not just in the mainland. HK and Taiwan too.
>>
>>11100815
LCDeck is neither stupidly expensive nor overpowered and all modern handhelds are incredibly frail. Get a RP2S, enough juice for decent arcade coverage whereas rockshits just die trying to run anything slightly less conventional.

>Anything I should know before I buy?
Enable virtual mouse on handheld settings, toggle holding L3+R3. Display comes a little yellow from factory, switch color temperature on display settings if you don't like it. Once heard fucking with stick calibration is a bad idea, not trying it out myself to confirm it.
>Does daijisho work on here well?
Daijisho works, as does ES-DE.

>Switching to a new chip will cripple their software, but the old Miyoo Mini chip doesn’t have the power to keep up even compared to Powkiddy rockshit releases.
The funniest thing is that the new chip they switched for for A30 is ridiculously underpowered by today's standards. It cost $4... in 2014: https://www.gsmarena.com/allwinner_a33_is_a_4_chipset_with_quadcore_cortexa7_processor-news-9173.php
It's why sellers often hide the names of those SoCs. They don't want to realize how outdated they are. They don't plan which chip to put in their chink trash, just pick whatever happens to be the absolute cheapest and available at the time.
They got the worst of both worlds: bad performance and lack of community software support.

>>11102002
First it was Shovel Knight, Celeste and TMNT Shredder's Revenge on the 35xx H's update, with the announcement video also featuring GTA 3 which I imagine they got cold feet over. Anbernic then got called out by several people, including their youtube shills, and said they would stop, instead they've been distributing the 64GB image with ports by email and just released 40xx H's stock with Stardew Valley. Powkiddy also did it with Celeste on the V10.

>>11102012
Problem is Portmaster's entire deal is remaining legal by having users provide their own files and contacting the devs for permission. Naturally, its community is livid over this and some game devs have already started asking questions.

LOL. LMAO. It's 2D indie games and their developers can do shit against companies based in China. Modern games made by actual big companies are too demanding to run on those chinesium pieces of shit. Those CFW developers are probably friends with the developers of some of those games, that's the issue.

>>
>>11102634
>Thanks a lot, loudmouth fags
I will not self-censor myself just because you don't want to admit that you're breaking the law. That law is tyrannical and deserves to be broken. Any developer who ties their real-life identity to projects like those and is unwilling to work on them otherwise cares more about their own reputation than ideals and probably wants to land a job at a big company writing proprietary software. I have no respect for them.
>>
>>11102706
Because no one personally asked Iizuka permission to adapt and distribute a Linux version of SA2 under the terms that proprietary files wouldn't be provided. You underestimate the jewness of Take Two and other publishers, the point is this can escalate to misdirected lawfare and devs abandoning the project, that's why this shit's retarded.

Max zhou used the leftover stockpile of gba micro screens from the k101 and mp3 players for the retromini, but it orginally sold like ass. When americans ported dingux firmware to it, it became popular in and ouside of china. This and the rs97 with retrofw is what inspired him to get into opensource with the 350 cloning the gcw zero. Miyoo and gamekiddy also thought it was a money making idea to try to do the gwc zero, but better and cheaper so the pocket go 2 and the gkd-whatshisface submerged. It all spiralled from there. But Gemini (Guys that bought dingoo) repurposing their mp3 players into handhelds instead of just slapping controls on them changed linux handhelds forever. I'm surprised jewtubers like wicked or retro tech dad do chinkheld histories.

I'd love to see a proper documentary on the history of Open Source Handhelds, as they'd probably put it.
Most people don't think about who is making them or where they come from, like how many are just made from surplus parts that bigger companies are using.

It's why we see Joy-Con sticks in a lot of these handhelds, and the main processors and screens found in these things aren't specifically made for them either.

Yeah, the RG351M can feel warm after a while too, it comes with aluminium handhelds and I don't get the appeal after getting one.

The FPGA in the Analogue pocket does get pretty warm but the standard plastic shell does a good enough job of not letting you feel that.

I’ve only played about 10 games or so on mine since I got it last month, but I played all of Spyro with a CRT filter and had almost no framerate issues. I think there were two spots that consistently had slowdown and it might have been because of rumble which seems to cause that sometimes and I haven’t sought a fix yet.
I think CRT is overkill, though. As someone suggested, I’ve been doing a NTSC filter and scanlines and I think the result is much better.

There's a world of difference between running N64 games and SM64, you can do the latter on rockshit and equally crap chips like the h700, or even play the decomp port at 60fps. Actually playing the N64 library takes a T610, as in RP2S. Everyone scowls at the price, but it's quality and just werks.

Crossmix 1.2.1 just came out and the lead dev is incredibly passionate about the project. Adding in new emulators and tweaking things to optimize the TSP performance. https://github.com/cizia64/CrossMix-OS/releases Cizia is cool people, if you have a problem and either put a pull on Git or message him on Discord he'll check it in real time.

Who knows, just take the thing apart. The front of the hull detaches from the rest of the console so there's very little chance of fucking things up. You just need to take off the bottom sticker in the battery compartment because there's the last screw. The PSP is prone to having dust on the other side of the screen protector so this might just be something like that with moisture.

>>11104216
Screen brightness can be a factor in the unit as a whole getting warmer because it's pushing more power, but the Analogue Pocket does in fact feel a little warm after prolonged use. It does depend what you play, too.
It has a built-in temperature sensor and you can check it in the menu somewhere.

not much that hasn't already been said
if it ships with a no name microSD, clone it onto a
quality manufacturer's sd or just download the stock firmware from trimui's
get crossmix, 1.2.1 has some sound issues so I'd get 1.2.0 for OTA upgrades and wait until that's fixed
opening a game with X instead of A brings up a dialog to select a different libretro core/standalone emu if there are several available
refresh roms when first adding roms so they show up
later, you can delete the <console>_cache7.db cache file in an emulator's roms folder so it rescans just that folder when opening the emulator in the browser - that avoids having to use the built in refresh roms which forces a rescan for all emulators
if you actually boughted PICO8 and set it up, back up that folder before an OTA update because going from 1.1.0 to 1.2.0 reset it to default in my machine

do NOT use the "USB Storage" app to move files to/from the SD while in the unit, not even with crossmix. It's notorious for not unmounting cleanly and losing data (as if fat32 wasn't shit enough to begin with). Just plug the sd with an adapter to your pc

You acutally have to hit eject on pc before pressing b on the usb storage app so it can work well, but it's still werid it works like that. It also doesnt unmount the sd sometimes when shutting off. I wish I was kidding.

Learn to install custom firmware onto a 3DS, and it opens up a world of homebrew and utilities for your DS and 3DS games.

https://3ds.hacks.guide/

The current methods do not require any additional purchases, but do differ between old 3DS and new 3DS with the latter being a bit easier and user friendly (I think, only glanced it).

Also you can just install hShop onto your 3DS when it's hacked and you can download pretty much any 3DS game you want, even pretty obscure eShop junk.

3DS is also the best way to play Virtual Boy games now. It even has correct 50hz refresh rate and 3D slider support and custom color palettes for the best possible viewing experience.

Yeah, you can copy the files directly off the microSD that way.

If you have a New 3DS and would prefer to not have to remove the back plate to remove the microSD each time you want to move files, you can also use a homebrew app called FTPD to move files wirelessly over your local network, as long as both the 3DS and PC are on the same wifi network.

He makes like 3000 USD a month from Patreon, so I'm optimistic that we'll get GarlicOS 2 eventually.
He also stated that he just got done soldering a bunch of Anbernic devices with extra ports for easier debugging, so he seems to be making decent progress.
But yeah, I wish we would have got it sooner. For the foreseeable future my RG35XX+ will remain a paperweight
>>
>>11105301
Yeah that'll work fine.
If you ever want to upgrade, the 3DS has a soft limit of 32GB but can be bypassed with proper formatting. The penalty however is that start-up times can take way longer as you install more stuff.

4GB doesn't let you install a ton of stuff, but if you're just concerned with extracting your save files from DS or 3DS game cards it'll do the job.

You can accomplish that with something called godmode9, which is a special payload that runs without booting into the 3DS at all. It has dedicated utilities for dumping game card data including ROMs in various formats like .NDS, .3DS, .CIA (you want CIA for 3DS games).
You can also install game cards directly to the 3DS this way.

>face buttons
They're all microswitches, but oddly enough there's two kinds. Menu, select, start, and the top buttons (lock, volume up/down and 3 slash menu[i don't know what this one does]) are all typical. The 4 main face buttons and triggers are all much easier to press with minimal travel and are very clicky, like the ones on a computer mouse. The 4 face buttons in particular have almost no travel, so mashing them takes no effort. The triggers have slightly more travel (particularly L2/R2) but they are just as clicky. I'm 100% sure they are not analog. I would have liked if all buttons had as much travel as the L1/R1, which I find a nice middle ground, but what can you do.
>audio
Vid related https://litter.catbox.moe/180okh.mp4
They're quite good, they wouldn't feel out of place on a mid/high end phone.
>ergonomics
It is a rather small device for my hands so I can see myself playing a bunch with the base of my thumbs instead of the tips. I don't mind this for the face buttons or the left stick, but I find myself falling back to the "N64 pistol grip" to leverage the dpad better. Not that there's much material to "grip" on, but the dpad is soft enough to use with minimal effort. I'm going to keep the silicone protector it came with since it gives it that little bit more size and grip for my hands.
The joysticks are also a little bit more prominent than I expected, which might hurt portability a bit (I was planning on using a bag anyway) but in return you get very nice analog control with little snapping for a console of this size.
I might have to play a bit more because this was the only ps2 iso I had handy and I want to use the 256GB card from my TSP, but after copying the latter's files to a 128GB using a second USB2.0 SD adapter (I am in incredible physical pain) it won't boot so it looks i'm in for a full crossmix reinstall.

>with little snapping
Should have said no snapping, but oh well. I tested it a bit more in practice and I can move with great control, it might've been the game chugging a bit on a full game with some camera angles. I should tinker with these settings to try and get a bit more fps, but its very playable already.

I just picked up an rgb30 on prime day and it seems pretty ok. The preloaded roms library is definitely missing a lot of classics, but it’s not bad for starters.

I’ve got to ditch the cheapo SD cards. It came with jelOS but I’m not sure if that’s the best OS in the current meta. I mostly want to play n64 and playstation titles. Is arkOS a better option?

I also haven’t figured out the charging behavior for this thing yet. It seems like it needs to be powered on to charge? I think that may be an OS thing though.

Reddit is shilling that ayaneo that's on sale for like $250. How shitty is it compared to the deck? I've got a pocket 4 pro for my "pocketability", but if the ayaneo thing is any better at switch emu and is decent with some lightweight indie steam games, it might be worth a look.

To be more exact, I hold it like this.
It looks bad, but with the right hand grasping as designed with the hand over the face buttons it is quite comfortable.
L2 is unfortunately out of reach like this, but most games I can think off that would use the dpad wouldn't use it much.
>>
>>11106457
I hope that the Hinge is not like that of the RG 35XXSP, the face buttons are at least slightly improved, and the sticks, by the tiime of release, are changed to something 0.5-1.25" higher than what has been seen on it previously. Maybe also move the sticks a tiny bit further out.

Can any of you who have bought the TrimUI Smart Pro tell me what you think of the product?
It's the only cheap thing available here in my country at the moment, but I'm very sceptical about the product, mainly because it has a widescreen display but all the reviews I see say it will only comfortably run games up to PS1 or so, which makes a widescreen almost completely useless.

runs gba and psp games too, the new patch of crossmix 1.2.1 lets you play n64, psx, and dc in 16:9 if you want to utilize big screen

The widescreen is good for the psp games it can run decently, widescreen dc, and portmaster stuff like half life.

About the R36s:
I was reading on the Internet and found people saying to change the micro SD cards for decent brands, but not all of them will work, so it takes some trial and error.
Is that really a concern I should have? Are the SD cards that come with the product so bad that the data will become corrupted?
Another thing, can I trust that the buttons won't start to get fucked and fail after some time of use? Are they sturdy?
>>
>>11108080
Does DC nicely, on 3d you might have to activate performance mode.
Can do 2D PSP nice, light 3D like Tekken 6 works fine with some frameskip and setup. Heavier stuff like dissidia or chains of olympus will chug.
It looks like an odd choice of aspect ratio until you realize it's an amazing tate mode machine using the face buttons side and the right joystick, unfortunately both stock and cfw options do a very poor job at making it readily available so you'll be fidgeting with configs.
And hey, the bezels on crossmix for all 4:3 stuff are pretty good imo if you're into those.
>>
>>11107380
If it's the tactile click you're looking for, get him a Retroid, the 2S, 3 Plus, or 4 / 4 Pro. Or I hear good things about the Trimui Smart Pro's D-pad, though that hardware is less capable overall.

>>11107884

>>11108114
you have to consider manufacturers cut as many corners as possible to turn a profit
many low end chinkhelds are cheaper to produce than a quality SD of comparable capacity to the ones they ship with, so of course they are no exception. they buy boxes of the stuff from the lowest bidder with predictable results.
also, the SD in particular allows even a greater leniency to cheap out since they're rewritable, any faults on it can be blamed on the end user not knowing what he's doing in a he said she said fashion.
the one good thing anbernig did lately was switching to kioxia cards, which I hear are actually good. I consider them good for the medium term, which would be when you decide that yes, you like playing regularly on this thing and want a larger card from Sandisk, Kingston, and the like

Only thing I can find on that unit is that it's shit compared to over units and there was one redditor who claimed it couldn't even run ps2 or gc. If you find anything better, let us know.

The problem ia that even though it's 7th gen Ryzen, its CPU cores use the same microarchitecture as 4th gen laptop Ryzen parts. And its GPU... is actually worse. Significantly so:
https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Radeon+610M&id=4759
https://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Ryzen+3+PRO+4450U+with+Radeon+Graphics&id=4247
If they used single-channel RAM (and I suspect they may have in the 8GB model), this is going to be even worse. My laptop has dual-channel RAM despite only having 8GB. As I wrote here >>11105873, if this laptop cannot run every PS2 game flawlessly with its iGPU, then that Ayaneo device is going to be even worse. If you live in a country where there's a decent used market, just get a used Steam Deck. It's several times more powerful than that thing.

I installed emudeck on a steam deck and this shit is retarded. I got games working and in my library fine but there's no possibly way to change the settings for any emulators

Snesx9 doesn't appear to be installed at all, it's not in the list of applications and even looking at where the emulators are installed it isn't there

I just want to get rid of this cartoon console stupid bullshit it puts around the screen for EVERY SINGLE EMULATOR that doesn't do 16:9, and set the aspect ratio to 1:1 for snes since that's how the console was actually meant to run games but I can't just open the emulator or access the settings of an individual emulator through emudeck or retroarch or anything

Also retroarch fucks up all the keybinds and I literally have to hard reset the entire system if I accidentally open its keyboard because it's impossible to close it so I'm guessing this retroarch shit is useless and installed for no reason or the install was broken or????

Is the retroid pocket 4 pro still undefeated mid-tier value king? Why isn't anbernic trying to compete?
>>
>>11109471
Pretty much. There is no real competing with the Dimensity 1100, it mogs the T820 used in Anbernic's recent Android handhelds by about 50%. Anbernic can't really compete in terms of specs, so they just stick to making value Android devices with gimmicks; albeit gimmicks "inspired" by their competitors like the 1:1 screen in the Unicorn. You could also maybe argue that the RG556 was an attempt to steal audience from Ayaneo's Pocket Air, but that's debatable since more and more devices will probably adopt OLED over time.
As for why Anbernic doesn't try to compete, its probably because they just cannot compete on a software or quality front. The few times that they try and punch above their weight over the past few years, they get absolutely slaughtered by critics with the RG552 and the Win600. And charging around or above $200 plus shipping with the growing list of hardware problems in their recent devices, it just isn't going to fly well for them.

>>
>>11108734
>they should in theory have better battery efficiency
You would THINK that, but it's actually not the case. Fewer cores at higher frequencies will almost always have lower performance per watt than more cores at lower frequencies because higher frequencies require bumping up the voltage. 7320U only has 2 RDNA2 cores while 4450U has 6 Vega cores and those are made using the same lithography process. The latter will be more power efficient at the same power limits. What most people miss is that Mendocinos aren't really meant to by Ryzen CPU successors, they are meant to be Athlon successors. The last Athlons that actually made it to market still used Zen+. The Ryzen name for them is a marketing gimmick, nothing more.
>>
>>11109039
It's a liability waiver. They know most people chuck the shitty wire bound cable they include, so they can blame you for their electronics not meeting any real safety standards.
>>
>>11109625
Clamshells either need to have a good hinge mechanism (in which case they need to be expensive to offset its cost) or be cheap trash with a bad hinge mechanism that people wouldn't care about breaking as much because the lost money matters to them less than the hassle of doing an RMA with one of those chink manufacturers. GPD is the only chinkheld manufacturer that knows how to make a good hinge and the prices of their devices are expectedly in the hundreds.

>Is the retroid pocket 4 pro still undefeated mid-tier value king? Why isn't anbernic trying to compete?
I imagine most of the other companies are starting to realize that at least for the time being there's no real beating Retroid in the market share the Pocket 4 and 4 Pro are covering in the mid tier Android handhelds, so I imagine they're waiting for a Linux compatible chip that can compete with the RP4P in both power and price since that'll be a niche that can compete with it in the same price range
>>
>>11109794
>I imagine they're waiting for a Linux compatible chip that can compete with the RP4P in both power and price since that'll be a niche that can compete with it in the same price range
The major problem is that chips running Linux have a lot of issues like suspend problems, incorrect frequency scaling, etc. It's a dead end because chinks can't into open source. No one will pay $250 for a handheld that can't even sleep properly.

The only thing I can think of that might require a pc is if you need to format the sd card. Maybe you need a pc if want to set the emulators up on the sd card? But that's not required. You should have enough space on the unit to set up every emulator you could run on the unit.

The rpgmaker folder needs to be in emus. The rpgmaker folder in roms needs to be in the roms folder while vault goes to the root. Game folders go in vault's rpgmaker folder while rtp's go in their own folder in vault. The m3u file in the roms dictionary should have the same name your game folder does. So /mnt/SDCARD/Vault/RPGMAKER/VindictiveDrive

I may have broken one clip too many from opening it, but at least the 4 screws stops the wiggling.
It being a v1 locks me out of Rocknix or the battery drains while off.
It's significantly better with 353m d-pad and membrane, but I always found the 30's face buttons and respective membrane uncharacteristically good. Also hall sticks.

I will always be shocked at the amount of ecelebs that suck off Anbernic. There's people even sucking off the RG40XX-H in a world where the Trimui Smart Pro exists for about the same price, or even less. The sticks still fucking have cardinal snapping too, and 4:3 screens are already old and busted when we now have 1:1 screens for better aspect ratios.

Worse face buttons and screen for sure, but no way the dpad is worse.
>>
>>11111871
It is. The diagonals are quarter-circles are much easier to pull off a circular D-pad. If you press a diagonal on a Retroid D-pad, you have to press really hard for it to register and the thing ends up sinking into the chassis more than it should. The click is also louder and better. Playing with the D-pad on an XSX controller feels like using an arcade stick sound-wise except you're not.

>Vita on Adrenaline is a blurry mess,
This has been debunked many times. Vita's display has 2x as many pixels as PSP's in both vertical and horizontal direction. You just don't know how to turn on integer scaling. And let me tell you: PSP games look like SHIT when you up the render resolution in PPSSPP because it exposes how low-poly the 3D models and how low-res the textures really are. PSP's native display resolution is closer to PS1 than it is to PS2.

>>11111974
PSP is great for PSP games, especially rhythm ones. Vita is a viable alternative if you're willing to trade some portability for a better screen.
PSP is awful for PS1 games, the screen is tiny, R2/L2 and right stick are missing, analog stick is 8-way digital. Use the Vita instead (unless you want a TV out).
>>
>>11112112
Vita doesnt have l2/r2 either. Sony for some reason thought that back touchshit was a good idea. That's some ayaneo before ayaneo typeshit.

It doesn't, but it has a touchscreen and a touchpad with 8 remappable corners in total. Also, the back touch would work great for things like map scrolling if the devs actually used it.

I really like my Analogue Pocket so far, I don't know why everyone was complaining about it.
>>
>>11112886
The hardware seems fine bar a few odd choices, like locking video output behind a proprietary dock. Its Analogue's business practices though that really sours the mood surrounding the device, like their love of "Limited Edition" models over keeping regular models in production. The worst example was the insane mark up of their aluminum models at $500 over the intended MSRP of $200 for the standard models. To date only the cobalt aluminum has sold out, nobody is dumb enough to grab the others.
Hope you at least got a standard black or white model.

the 3ds is more expensive of course but you can buy like 6 dual screen IPS n3ds xl for the price of that shit brick

I don't know the magic behind it but on RG35XX the sleep mode worked great, though it's still technically just a save state but it would jump in and out of game real quick and the battery would last. On my RG35XXH with MuOS it just turns off the screen but battery consumption does happen so after a day or two it would run out of juice.

On my RG556 the sleep is just standard android but on that device even in sleep mode battery consumption is pretty bad unless you put in on airplane mode I guess.

Runs good on my machines. Either retarded or havent had any of those. Keep falling for YouTube shills I guess
>>
how do I change the bootlogo on the trimui smart pro after the stupid 1.04 firmware hotfix :AAA:
>>
>>11114580
These chinkhelds aren't vr either, nigga. I'm playing shitsm on my shartui dumbo right now. Don't tell me you cry to the jannies when anyone but you makes a thread?
>>11114604
Isnt bootlogo fuckery crossmix?
>>
>>11114609
emulators are /vr/, your sony vita and its 15 year old cpu that can't run retroarch cores isn't /vr/
>>
>>11114703
>Smart pro is a vita
???

Were all anbernig consoomers born yesterday or are they max zhou's family memebers?

>>11114843
My smart pro? Jannies cant do shit, nigga. Retardarch? Thanks bro, but standalone gives acutal performance. /vr/? Retroid fans laugh at you while playing switch without paying for it. The jannies laugh at you too btw
>>11114845
Kekaroo!!! (E6 plus can with android but the battery will fuck itself)
>>
>>11111265
>Hows your RGB30 holding up?
Just got one so hopefully well! Switched to arkos which fixed the battery misread. Of course it won't actually boot up unless I reset it at boot screen, and quick power off doesn't work, but other than that 4:3 games at overscaled 8:7 look great, as does pico8.

Any other rgb30 bros have any tips or must fixes?
>>
the only reason vita discussion isn't banned is because it emulates PSP which is barely even /vr/ to begin with. know your place
>>
>>11111401
>Do you guys REALLY think chinkhelds are e-waste?
Nah, they're fairly niche. Compare that to the millions of shitty androids, and cheap nasty kids electronics. It would be nice if the qa was better, but in terms of environmental impact you could probably chuck all then retro handheld into a couple of Olympic pools.

Would be nice if they of recycle components though.

>Still thinks I have a vita
Thank FUCK for kiwi so I can play modern rpgmaker games (Not from steam, but that'sliterally being worked on as I type). I was getting sick of a blurred line
>>11114869
Some of them do. Anbernic's been using the same rg300 dpad for years until they seemingly ran out. The only thing they don't recycle are screens
>>
>>11114875
Acutally, the post I was replying to got me thinking, isn't psp and ds 7th gen in the first place? I legit can't tell

You came into a handheld PC thread with your 3 kid’s video game consoles and a handheld PC
>>
>>11113163
It's literally just like a Nintendo Switch Lite, do you hate that one too because of those colors?
>>
>>11115145
>Arm linux
>Handheld pc
Max plz, go to bed already. You 40xx already had cardinal snapping somehow. Stop making trimui laugh at you
>>11115157
The switch lite's colors are ass desu. Q90 looks weird too.

>>11115159
It’s better than a vita, a DS and a switch lmao

I can't tell what you two are banting about, but I really do love how baidu/bilibili users shit on their own handhelds and sometimes to the manufactures faces. I heard qq is even worse, but I can't get into their groups.

this nigga posted a facebook screenshot to prove whatever the hell he’s talking about xdd

>>11115175
Correct all 3 of those consoles get buck broken by a smart fridge in current year, I don’t know why you’re saying you need 3 childrens consoles in addition to a handheld PC

That's baidu and it was posted here before.

Wish Nintendo and Sony would sell the entire classic games catalog as an android app for $200 so y’all could shut up for a second

How easy is it to replace trimui buttons? It's so stiff and tactile my fingers get tired fast and it's hard to play games where I use all 4 buttons in a time sensitive manner like Megaman.

Wow, you streaming savages can't even capture just a window or a selection, it's necessarily the whole screen? That's sad.

Moonlight works by streaming your entire fucking screen, no finetuning like say OBS.

Get a Vita TV, they are far more rare than PS3s which you can get anytime anywhere.
>>
>>11116403
>Vita TV
I remember seeing one on clearance circa 8 (I think) years ago. Should've bought it, 2nd hand ones are oddly pricy now.
