>>11215813Neither seems necessary imo unless you are playing on a CRT, I was watching accuracy tests yesterday out of genuine curiosity but most games seem 1:1 at least for Genesis Plus GX. And GBC is probably even easier to emulate so...

Is the RP4 still worth it
>>11216232Yes, the rp5 won't even have better performance unless they make an rp5+
>>11216059Sorry, saying why would get me a 3 day ban.
>>11216250It's juice, isn't it?
>>11216015That's a weird foot.
>>11216232No, the 5 has better and larger screen, more powerful cpu, linux compatibility, no green screen, etc.
>>11215807>playstation-style dpad>no dual sticks
>>11216280>more powerful cpuBarely, and it's gong to cost way more than the RP4 pro given the oled and SD chip
Honestly, coming from the GBA I expected more from the DS. Hardware improved and all that, but the only good games are snes ports or the psp version is superior. I suppose pokemon fans would rejoice. What am I missing? And the Fire Emblem games are ugly as hell, what were they thinking?
>>11216348It really is going to come down to whether they shoot themselves in the foot with the pricing. Even despite OLED or linux compatability, people aren't going to want to spend much more on a successor with the same amount of power.
>>11216348>more powerful cpu>Barely, and it's gong to cost way more than the RP4 pro given the oled and SD chipNah, something happened that the OLEDs they have access to gotten cheaper. RP5 will be barely above $200 if at all, you can screencap this.>>11216351Working ears.

>>11216439That screen is already in the rg556, and that thing has been sold for as low as $140 shipped during a recent ali sale. There's really no reason this can't be $200 flat before shipping like the RP4P is right now, with the RP4P receiving a slight price cut until stock is extinguished.
>>11216439>. RP5 will be barely above $200 if at all, you can screencap this.I'm betting 250 at leastNot because of the hardware cost, but because of the marketing hype retroid is making, so they'll charge more to add to the "premium" fee
>>11215980I know about m3u files and I'm using it, but in garlic os the way I have them with the multi-disc folder only one instance of the game shows while in crossmix the games show multiple times.
>>11216486$250 is a terrible price since you could only pay $50 more and get an Odin 2.

>>11216508I'll dig into but that's not gonna cut it for me since I have some games in chd format.
I'm extremely happy with my TSP and I don't think I need to keep looking at handhelds anymore since I only care about emulation up to PS.
>>11216518I'm glad in the end the good guys won.
>>11215792Handheld modding?>anyone doing anything fun with their handhelds?>anything cool or is everyone just playing games on em.half the fun of my 3ds was setting it up. if I buy one of these handhelds is there anything fun to do with em before it just becomes an emulator and nothing else?
>>11216518the rg nano does emulation up to ps
>>11216541I haven't noticed most problems there and I haven't bothered with PSP yet. Is widescreen PS viable now?The only issue I've experienced is volume resetting to default after using fast forward and also screenscrapper being picky about filenames but that's not a problem of the handheld.Not a fair comparison still because I'm using the revision model and crossmix instead of stock, but really this feels incredible for $45 and GBA games look fantastic.
>>11216556I'd rather put it on a shock and use it to whack someone than play anything on that thing.
>>11216541Whats even funnier is the fact that the anal log sticks have been absolutely fucking useless until yesterday where someone on r/trimui posted some system files to fix the input dropouts when moving the sticks just slightly too fast
>>11216548You'll spend a few hours getting RA the way you want, plus if it runs EmulationStation as a frontend you can rice it with a theme, and covers and videos for the games. Ports can take a bit tweaking too on top of providing the proprietary files.

>>11216574that was fixed since day one, all you needed to do was calibrate the sticks.
Nice, got a 400-in-1 yellow Famiclone for $4.99 with cables (no controller), a 9999-in-1 mini arcade machine for $3.99, DUDE WEED PLATE, and a fan for my RG35XX SP!
Also, they are finally making modular/adjustable video game phone cases. And this one does GBA specifically. I am so sick of clip on controllers that double the width of your phone or full blown Xbox controllers that your top heavy phone attaches to.
>>11216779based haul
>>11216756nope cant be fixed with calibration, its an input polling rate issue
>>11216779>and a fan for my RG35XX SPheh
>>11216785>gamebabycouldn't've said it better
>>11216793Ye, I like how these little Famiclones are actually pretty solid and even though they aee not made out if classic Nintendonium, they replicate various GBC/GBA/DS colours almost 1:1 flawlessly. This is identical to the yellow GBC/Pocket Pikachu.Also got these Joycon grips that were Sonic Mania themed but they appear to be bootleg as fuck.
>>11216830I'm not the crazy dude who wants to collect one of every iteration in every colour, but I do already own a red one and a black one. And I would love to have one of those GBC/GameCube/GBA purple ones too.Oh my god, they actually make Pocket Pikachu shaped Famiclones too witht he same specs/materials, just in the Pocket Pikachu shape but GameBoy Pocket size.
>>11216785How much? I wouldn't play anything that requires triggers though.
>>11216887The GBA L/R buttons are on the front. It's what the long buttons with the same color as the d-pad are.You basically, when you want to play GBA games, just slide the bottom half of the back phone case off and reverse it, then the app will automatically open into its main menu/artificial sleep mode continue from whatever state you last were playing. Uses some stupid USB-C port technology that understands which specific position the USB-C male port is inserted. Makes the app sleep when you have the buttons on the back as part of the phone's protective case, opens the app and continues from where you left off when you 180 reverse the bottom half to cover the screen, using touch-screen inputs with a physical plastic/rubber d-pad and button overlay.So you could still use the app without the modular controller case, just having to use touch screen inputs with your thumbs.
Stop having fun you guysNo fun allowed
>>11215904They all suck, you're better off just making a custom RA shader.
>>11216887Still $19.99 USD as an early bird special, but first prints will only work with specific smart phone models. It needs to be able to have a form factor snug fit on the phone for inputs to work properly.https://www.bitmolab.com/pages/gamebaby

>>11217503Why tho, they're the midrange option, powkiddy is the cheap shit, and Ayaneo is the highendAnd let me tell you, these youtube personalities ALWAYS date E-whores who only date them for clout, then turn into turbo-faggots. IE. just like idubzWulf, if you're reading this, you're a skinny gay looking fag, you're balding and ugly, your beard is a sad attempt to reclaim your masculinity. Work out you dumb faggot, no one respects a skinny little faggot
>>11217513OH NO NO NO woofsissies, how can we ever recover...
>>11217435
>>11217513Gosh I hope wulf reads this, russ is also a gaylord. Why can't any of these "men" eat a fucking steak and do a couple pushups?
>>11217521
>>11217504Yes, we're well familiar with the Chinese calling things gay when they can't defend their shit, Anbernic.
>>11217534they're scared of it or it breaks youtube's terms of service idk
>>11216348Remember, access to the higher cost chips from sd was more dependent on Retroid willing to purchase more of them. So they may have found more savings in buying bulk. That and they may eat a loss for market dominace.
So basically you're saying an extra $20 for better screen but larger device from the RP4P.Honestly I don't think this pricing is aggressive enough. Once the rp4p gets discounted everyone will just go for that anyways because this price is getting dangerously close to odin 2 territory.
>>11217609Called it, but that Mini price is ass. Where's the Retroid that released the RP2S at $100 and BTFO everyone?
>>11217615Sharing the same chip between the two was a huge mistake, desu. Although honestly, if the screen were even just 0.3" bigger, they could've pulled off that price for a lot of boomers.
>>11217609>You can allocate 4GB of the internal storage as virtual ram. Bringing up the total to 10GB of ram
>>11217621Even then, you're trying to tell me there's only a $10 difference between the a 3.7" and a 5.5" screen? Come on. I might skip this after all since prices won't drop anyway, next gen might be a better deal. What a letdown.
>>11217621Yeah I'm not sure what's going on with that mini price. Why is it the same as the rp4 line?
500 nits screens, the OLEDeck gets twice as bright.
will we get a price drop for the rp4/rp2s?
>>11217609865 is a lacking SoC although I know shills will hail this as definitive for the for the next 6-12 months. Odin 2's SoC is practically twice as powerful and it can struggle on ps2
>>11217649RP4P probably, yeah. RP4? Maybe, but I bet more likely they'll just sell the remaining stock without discount. RP2S absolutely won't, $89 before shipping is way below the Mini.
OH NO NO NO NO
>>11217669I don't get it.
>>11217513why does this read like you've never touched a woman and you're mad at others who have
>>11216732https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1725593067461655.webm
>RP2S still the value king a year later
>>11217609They should have put the G99 in the mini
>>11217717It'd be too weak for the resolution, no?
>>11217609So the pro gamer move is waiting for the 5 to release to then wait for a big sale of the 4P?
>>11217710rp2s and rp4p likely the last of the good retroids watch them keep both in their product lineup way longer than they did with the 3/3+ kek
Is the rg353p really comfortable for long play sessions?
>>11217521Chink’ed
Am I reading you fags right? For $20 more or literally the same price if early bird, you're getting an OLED screen and Snapdragon drivers and possible Linux (not holding my breath though). How the fuck are you retards saying the RP4P is still the better value?
>>11217767for just $20 you can have a linux 'held that you'll actually play games on
>>11217669>le RAM swap with internal storage means more RAM!!!We've gone full Chinkdroid here.
>>11217669>bragging about enabling swapis this 2024 or 2004
>>112178042024 memory is not 2004 memory.
>>11217767>How the fuck are you retards saying the RP4P is still the better value?6GB vs 8GB on the RP4 proNo switch on the RP5, virtual memory cope will not do it.
>>11217669So it probably won't even run yuzu
I have realized that 95% of the time I play GB, GBC and GBA games on my handheld.I think I should just mod a GBA.
>>11217779where is this 20$? I'm only seeing them for 35+
>>11217647Dual boots but only ONE SD card slot for all the huge games it can run, oh goody. Hope it's revised in the flip.
yikes rp5 shitted and flopped already
Wait for the RP5+...
>>11217513Anbernic is on par with Powkiddy in terms of being cheap shit, Retroid has long since surpassed them as being the best midrange/bang for your buck brand. And even then Powkiddy is better in some areas like the RGB30/20SX where they put out budget devices with 1:1 screens that make perfect sense for Game Boy/NeoGeo Pocket games and 8:7 content. Most of their good ideas now are literally stolen from other companies like the A1 Unicorn, the TrimUI Smart Pro, or Ayaneo’s Pocket DMG; and they can only copy them as shittily as possible like a true Chinese company would.
>>11217892Just rename it the "4pro DX OLED Edition".
>>11217878Only having one SD card slot + the batocera devs not even being contacted about this makes me think they just added this for marketing last minute. Linuxsissies really need to temper their expectations with this thing.
>>11217915They're experienced enough not to do this though. It's like they 'monkey's paw' themselves on purpose, for the insurance money I guess..
>>11217868ali sales
>>11217829other than zram being called compcache 20 years ago swapping is the same shit
>>11217923So the list of qualities lacking.>Enough ram for Yuzu.>Two SD slots.>Clamshell form.>Although comparatively underwhelming, the chip- if living up to promises, could be good for the price.>Batocera devs issue hopefully works itself out.I'm sure there's more to add.
>>11217767Rp5 is bigger and bulkier and has less ram. It should be at minimum the same price and not just with this early bird shit.
>calls configuration script for Batocera "drivers" to larp as kernel devs>unveils enabling swap as brand new featureRetroidbros, are you okay? What's the next NIH?
So RP5 is just RP4Pro with bigger OLED screen and a higher price?
>>11217983The price is the same, but the screen, ergonomics, and CPU are better. Maybe not by much, so in the end it depends on how much you value portability.
>>11217941People were willing to pay even a little more, so long as it was perfect. Now, they are paying less but not getting what they asked for. It's a "bare minimum" thing.
>>11217996ever considered paying less money? srs question. some of you guys are paying 4 RGB30s or 10 R36Ses for something you still need cope for

>>11218134>3.2 inchesI've come to realize that even 3.5inch isn't enough for me to enjoy ps1/n64 and upthis means that for me, the r36s is all I need until something cheap, powerful and large enough comes by
>>11217767Look at it from an average guy's perspectiveRP4P was a huge jump over 3+. Literally 2x performance + cooling + 8 gigs of ram, hall effect analog + analog triggers. Way better hardware, no bullshit.RP5 has a CPU that has literally same raw performance, somehow LESS RAM and costs $20 more. And 1920x1080 is questionable on a retro device (though to each his own).I do get that only a retard would expect 8 gen 2 and I still think it's still good value for the hardware. But they really, REALLY will have to deliver with those drivers, or else. Otherwise that would make RP5 near pointless. Even if the drivers will give you somewhat better PS2/3DS performance overall and a bigger bump in select games, hypothetical RP4P price drop to $150 would negate all of that. This is more like RP4 Snapdragon OLED edition, not a new gen.
>$220
>>11218230>This is more like RP4 Snapdragon OLED edition, not a new gen.It was unsustainable honestly, with only one year of difference and almost zero competition.
>>11218241To be honest, I absolutely understand why they did that. Phone market is already like this. A typical Xiaomi budget phone line has 720G one year, then 695 for 2-3 years, then maybe D900… Literally zero progress, same shit year to year.They were also likely hard pressed with CPU choice. 865 is the level of Galaxy S20. Why not S21 or S22? This was a couple of bad years for Qualcomm, 888 and 8 gen 1 had too much heating. So… The only option would be 8 gen 2, not realistic for $200 and there's Odin anyway. On the other hand, people kept asking them exactly the same shit. "OLED when", "if only it had Snapdragon", every single time. So… they did exactly that. Now everyone is pissed they didn't make the same jump as RP3+ > RP4P.
>>11218136That sure looks comfortable to play.
>>11218274People's expectations for the 5 were silly. People expected a $200 yuzu machine with oled to compete with the odin.
>>11218280he'd hold it better if it were a 2d game>>11218136looks a lot smaller than the rg405v. im looking forward to buying it next year
>>11218280>>11218383it's literally same how you'd hold psp. only your fingers touching console, not the palm
>>11217767I love my 556 to bits but I am considering getting this just because I would much prefer Linux over Android. Still, it's a steep enough price that I'll probably hold on a while after launch.
>>11218274They fucked up by letting people build up stupid expectations while they slow rolled out all the info. In the full context of the device the price makes sense but when half the people have only seen one or two of the specs they get greedy and expect miracles.

rp5 grip kinda looks like they just took odin 2 grip and shrunk down the flop half
This is going to be a nightmare to apply, isn't it?
>>11218609Just download more ram, bro.
>>11218274They just fucked up by announcing the Mini and it so close to each other. Both are virtually identical in specs outside of battery and size that the RP5 just seems underwhelming in comparison, even though within the context of OLED handhelds its really not bad. Its basically on par or probably better than Ayaneo's Pocket Air and it shits all over Anbernic's RG556 by merit of having better specs and actually having good built-in software with no snapping sticks.
>>11218424I'd argue the device doesn't make sense still. Retroid built their customer base by being the best midrange providers out there. They gsve unbeatable value for money, focusing on form more than function. Extras like hall effects were cherries on top pf the raw performance you got compared to anbernig and their ilk and for like 1/2 the price of the equivalent premium options yet 80% of the way there in terms of power.While objectively better the RP4P, the RP5 is a slap to the face of its user base. It has the same performance and a better screen but is more expensive, focusing on form over function. And for $220 you're only $80 away from an Odin 2, which gets you the entire emulation library up to switch, a better form factor, and a bigger screen that would work better for oled anyways.Retroid is no Ayaneo or AYN.
>>11218608Is Switch emulation out of the question for this thing now?
>>11218627The 556 is like $160 while the RP5 is $220. I'm surprised they didn't just price it at $190 to kill off Anbernig for good.
>>11218627Other way around, RP5 is okay while Mini feels stupid.
do I really have to reflash the SD card images whenever ambernic release a new firmware?why not just drag and drop updates like for any other thing in the world?
>>11218623I dont do the screen protector meme anymore.cant be fucked.
>>11218643If you're using stock firmware, that's your own fault.
>>11218630Given ram and android version, I would be surprised if you get similar performance as the 4pro, which isn't great to begin with.
>>11218627>>11218641I honestly think drawing the dripfeed tease out for two weeks ended up fucking them in the ass as well.
>>11218641The Mini seems good, just should have been cheaper.
>>11218647do the custom firmwares support sleep mode for the SP yet?
On an unrelated note, I found it funny how the cult of Anbernig immediately turned on Wulff Den the moment even he said>The D-pad? It's okay, I dont get why people hyped it up so much.>I don't really care about covering these products anymore if they're basically the same with minimal upgrades.
>>11218656It feels like they got carried away by reception and got greedy.>>11218657Exactly. There's no world where buying the Mini for only $10 less makes sense.>>11218659For ages now.>>11218660Is there even such a thing? I know there's one or two losers on pisscord that have it out for Retroid and favor Anbernic for no reason, but I haven't seen it in public.
>>11218660wulff is a colossal faggot, worthy of death, but he's right about the d-pad hype on the 40xxv being weird.
>>11218657It's priced similar to the ayaneo micro, which to me isn't worth.
>>11218627Maybe. Though I agree it gets fucked by comparisons in general, people just expected the same jump as RP4 every year. I think what really fucked them is caring what people wanted. There's a reason to use Dimensity and LCD—it's simply cheaper. Everyone wants OLED and Snapdragon until they see the pricetag. You want the premium quality, you get the premium price. Raw specs work way better for advertisement than some better drivers and linux which no one understands, that may or may not give you performance.
>>11218669There isn't a "cult", there's just a lot of people here who think that if you aren't shitting on Anbernic 24/7 then you're a shill. Of course, Anbernic has done a lot of this to themselves by releasing a new handheld every week and doing some stupid shit (e.g. 405M screens falling out, 35XXSP battery issues, Cube light bleed, analog stick cardinal snapping, etc.). You'd probably see a lot of the same with other Chinese manufacturers if they were shotgun blasting out handhelds at the same rate.
I'm gonna be honest, I don't even understand why buy Anbernic. Seems like a Chinese company with QC issues that thinks "more models = better", with model numbers like RG69420XXXVVVXVXV, all on exact same chips. Every week someone posts screenshots from some shitty Chinese government discord with rough drafts of the new RG199XXLMAOV which is totally gonna be the next big thing. Why and how this company exists is beyond me
>>11218746Why not? There’s a lot of options for form factor. Now I don’t have to be stuck with some 16:9 slop to emulate SNES games. I can go vertical if I want hand cramping, horizontal if not, or even get a Genesis controller. Frankly, android emulation is awful. Anbernic is the only one not shitting out snapdragons while maintaining decent power.
>>11218746Newfags don't know, but anbernic was the first to make an actual good handheld. Even to this day it still makes decent low to midrange options. It's just that retroid burst into the scene 2 years ago with the rp2 and then rp3 that were a lot better value for money that now anbernig is getting shit on. But honestly all chinkhelds have qc issues. You already forgot about the retroid flip hinge, or the rp3/4 broken shoulder buttons?With retroid now focusing into the more premium price point I think anbernic will keep their loyal fans.
>>11218819The first actual good (Decent) chinkhelds were from jxd and gpd. Anbernic was the first to make a good linux chinkheld along with miyoo and gkd, which were sorta clones of the gcw zero.
>>11218819>Newfags don't know, but anbernic was the first to make an actual good handheld.They just cloned hardkernel's.
>>11218852That was miyoo first, but it kinda sucked.
>>11215796Still trying to gaslight/scam people with this shitty list?
game week on aliexpress again
>>11218230stuff like the speakers and ergos and other software advancements are just necessary growing pains. rp5 is walking so rp6 can run tbqh.
>>11218746it's the same reason sony has a cult of loyal fanboys online. in brown people countries it's the only shit they can afford. go to r/sbcgaming and look at the color of people's hands. it's brown people holding anbernig shit playing pokemon. the inferiority complex of this lesser species is incomprehensible to any normal western man, they would kill you an in argument to prove that shitting in the street is superior and they are the greatest culture.
>>11216348>>11216439>same price>small but welcome improvementsrp4pro owners on suicide watch
rp5 is also going to stimulate arm linux development quite a bit.
>>11218962I'm starting to think it really is them coping that people are going to get OLED, front firing speakers, and Snapdragon drivers for the same price they paid for.
>>11218970Thats why in some cases, it really is best to just wait.
hello sexo
What's the hottest horizontal handheld right now that runs on Linux?
>>11218985i still hate the glass front. i don't know why anyone would want a glass handheld.
>>11218985I swear to god, this color better not be limited.
>>11218962RP5 pros relative to RP4P:>5.5" OLED screen>FRONT-FIRING SPEAKERS>round ergo shape with buttcheeks>snapdragon so linux options and don't have to worry about jank driver issues like mali with flycastRP5 cons relative to RP4P:>colors nowhere near as cool as the 3 transparent options >2gb less ram>android 10>smudgy glass front>sticks somehow have less of an ergonomic offset
>>11218669The Mini seems to have the same specs while also being smaller and cheaper - what's the downside?
>>11217539>post blatant ad>get called a shill>act like a faggot for 2 days as damage controlFuck off, faggot.
>>11218962>6 ramGood luck with that.
>>11218967Too early to tell, it'll depend on whether Retroid do the sneedful for devs or not.>>11218985Retroid were kings at colorways, now you get this yellow stick abomination, white and black. Fucking disaster. RP6 better ditch glass panels and bring back clear shells.
>>11219005The downside is most of us are boomers with shit eyes and need at least 4" of 4:3 screen space.
>>11219038This supports linux and an old version of android, so it might be good enough.
>>11219005I couldn't find a 3.7 inch to replicate, but this is 3.5" 4:3 vs 5.5" 16:9.I've tried playing ps2 games on a 3.5" and it was a mistake. You can't make out most text at that size.
>>11219042>Retroid were kings at colorways, now you get this yellow stick abomination, white and black. Fucking disaster. RP6 better ditch glass panels and bring back clear shells.100%. I am so fucking asshurt by this massive color choice downgrade + gay glass panel it's unreal.
>spending $200 for 3.56" screen, one microsd slot, new cpu but same perf, linux "support" by non-devsdis gon b gud
>>11219060
This phone review should give us a good estimate of performance for the RP5.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wXClrSpb-s
>>11219060>>11219089From this we can conclude 4" 4:3 is the 6'1" of screen sizes, anything below is subhuman and 5" 16:9 is basically 5 foot eleven. passable but doesn't give her the full effect
>you can't put saturn/orange buttons from the mini into the white rp5 because... because you just can't, okay???what the heck is retroid's problem
Imagine this, the RP mini is like the RP4P, but with 8 seconds of bleed
what do you mean 8 seconds of bleedwhat do you mean by that
>>11219092You need to look up recent stuff for Switch performance though since older 865 videos aren't using the recent drivers/emus.
Retroid bros, we just keep winning
>>11219465They would be dumb to do that again. But if you asked them if retroid pocket 6 would come out in less than 9 months....
>>11219465>just keep winningNot with 6GB
>>11219506What emulator requires over 6gb of ram?
>>11219531Apparently switch, not sure of that chip even handles it proper so it seems a moot point.
>>11219549No one should have expected good Switch on this in the first place so it really doesn't matter. If people want Switch emulation, shell out for the Odin 2, it's the only Android handheld that can run it decently anyway.
>>11215862accuracy tests dont account for video stutter, tearing, or audio artifacts that arise from software apparently being unable to run shit in parallel.higan, bsnes, ares, all touted as the most accurate snes emulators ever created, but no one can show me Chrono sprinting from left to right repeatedly at the widest part of the Millenial Fair without video stutter.
>>11218660I've probably defended them in that past, but that's because I think they're a cheap option with quality a bit better than powkiddyI want more handhelds in that sweet spot because I don't want to care about them like I would an actual console. I'd like handhelds to be just quality enough to not feel like a kids toy, but cheap enough that I wouldn't care to lose or break
>>11219531imagine wanting LESS ram
>>11219572ANd the odin2 mini, and the recent ayaneo android things.But yeah, you cant expect sd865 to be good for switch emulation.Although if it runs atelier or visual novel faggotry, you can expect retards like >>11215796 say it is good for switch emulation
>>11219658Nobody said that, retard.

Remember when everyone was hyping the fuck out of the RK3588 and over a year later nothing has come out of it?
>>11218934non-chinese anbernic buyers are paying the 2-3x markup on amazon and the official site instead of ali, also there's the newsletter emails spamming previous buyers with the new models. because they have metal handhelds, the plastic ones also seem quality so spamming models worked well here
>>11219679it will be out soon please buy another few RK3288 and RK3566 models while u wait sir
What is amoled anyway? Does it really make a difference?
>>11219679It was more like a dozen Linux purists, the few who didn't know the 3588 is nothing to celebrate.
>>11218134>3.2 inches 1024x768
>>11218230>hypothetical RP4P price drop to $150 would negate all of that.RP4 and RP4P production I bet is already stoppedEverything points towards Retroid simplifying their lineup more and more
>>11219710It's just another variant of OLED. Most typically used in smartphone screens.
>>11215792I can confidently say it doesn't get better than the A30 once you put it on spruceOS.Buttons are amazing, soft, and gameboy-like. they're superbly quiet, the analog stick is great for 3d games where using a dpad would cramp you.I can confidently get at full speed>PSX>DS>Lighter N64/Dreamcast/PSP titlesThe sleep function is amazing too, I left it on overnight and no battery drainedAnd I got it for 25$ with the carrying case. It is peak design and peak comfort.Not peak power, but PSP wouldn't look good in 4:3 anyway.The ONLY complaint I can possibly make is that the screen is the raw LCD, and there's no plastic/glass protecting it
>Android 10THEY FUCKED THE LANDING RIGHT AT THE END OF THEIR DRIP FEED LMAAAAAAAAAAAO
>>11219905Why does this matter? From my Android usage, the older the Android, the more stable and less hostile to power users it is. On shitcord I only see people lamenting gachas.
>>11219878Glad you like it anon, but I'm inclined to warn you switching sticks is a literal fire hazard.
>>11219937Paid games are fine from what I've seen, but what gacha requires android 11 at the very least? I'm not near my gaming phone atm.

>>11219970>Controller supportDoes that even have anything to do with the android version? I thought it was because retroid uses a weird modified version of xinput.
>>11219710amOLED is basically 99 percent of OLED screens in consumer electronics. the AM characters stand for active matrix, which is just the tech of adressing invidual pixels
Amazon Warehouse sale, got both of these for $10. I already don't really game on my phone at all and if I do, I prefer my Ipega that's great for DS/3DS emulation.
>>11219987based
>>11219905as it will have open bootlader, high chance we will have gammaos or a fork of it if the rp5 wont be shit
>>11219987Both telescope controllers have similarly sized face buttons (small but appropriately spaced apart, except the "BSP-D3" Switch looking one also uses these illuminating little buttons for the d-pad as well just to keep Switch aesthetics, but it has proper analog sticks while the Ipega's analog sticks feel like something on a cheap Powkiddy, the Ipega's L3/R3 being stiff and hard to use while the BSP-D3's L3/R3 buttons click so quick and easily. All of the buttons and sticks on the BSP-D3 are better than the ones on the Ipega, except for the fact that the Ipega has a proper d-pad and its d-pad is pretty decent. The Ipega also allows considerably more range for phones and how it holds them, allowing both horizontal and vertical mode while the BSP-D3 can only do horizontal/landscape.The Mega Dream Controller is the exactly what you would think it would be. Pretty solid though despite being a cheaper quality plastic than an official PlayStation or Xbox controller, and despite feeling much lighter than a PS4/PS5 or Xbone/XsX/sS controller the top-heaviness of a phone clipped to it isn't any worse than when I used my DS4 with a phone clip. I'll just be using and recommending a DS4 over it though just due to the touch pad allowing you to have mouse controls in mobile games.This made me appreciate how not great the Ipega's buttons and analog sticks really are, but its versatility and d-pad still make me prefer it over anything else, with a Dual Shock 4 PS4 controller being my second choice.
>>11219987>>11220113I might compile comparison photos tomorrow with a normal smart phone and a folding smart phone. But the Mega Dream controller has the best buttons/sticks/inputs out of the three but is the weakest due to how unportable the whole setup is with controllers and clips.The BSP-D3 has better bittons and sticks than the Ipega, but has buttons instead of an actual d-pad, useless unless playing two player arcade games across from a friend with your phone. So even though the Ipega has weaker buttons and sticks, its ergonomics and versatility make it still my #1. But I am bias towards extendable controllers that turn your phone into a wide horizontal handheld over clipping phones to a regular console controller.
>>11219878had they priced it at 30 from the start it wouldn't have gotten as bad rep as it got
>>11218013The closer they get to 'perfect', the more painful it is to watch it fail. And when you see them doing a seemingly deliberate monkey's paw, you can't help but feel pissy and let down.
>>11220126Miyoo laughably believes that the Mini and Mini Plus being decent and popular was enough to make them the Chinese Nintendo. By the time they release the Miyoo Flip/SP with analog sliders, they'll be bankrupt. There was no means for them to sell that piece of shit horizontal schlop at a profit and they basically rushed it out to keep competing with Anbernig as they struggled and flailed to figure out the Miyoo Flip's hinge. The novelty of an SP clone has come and gone, people are satisfied with the RG35XX SP and maybe ON THOUSAND PEOPLE in total worldwide would bat an eye when the Miyoo Flip eventually releases.It sucks cause I fucking loved the Bittboys and all, and the Miyoo Mini was genuinely really fucking awesome (at least the V1 models). But between the Miyoo Mini Plus and the RG35XX, the 35XX was always the better option and anyone claiming otherwise was coming off of Miyoo Mini TikTok/Reddit fanboyism/hypetrain, especially now with like six versions of the RG35XX in almost any shape and form factor you could want it in.
>>11220137Yooooo, I own the Sega Genesis Megatron, the version that came with Sonic The Hedgehog 1 for his little game cartridge.
>>11220126Even at $30 USD I would have rather got an SF-2000 for $20 for the form factor alone, even knowing it only plays up to GBA/SNES and no PS1.
What the fuck happened to /hhg/
Huh, all three connect to your phone via blutooth but a simple USB cable to the PC also lets you use them as Xbox360-driver based controllers.
>>11220234>>11220125>>11219987Can you retards make your own thread?

You couldn't come off as more knee-jerk desperately trying to fit in any harder if you tried, you fucking faggot. Go be a try hard back on Reddit.

>>11216910Looks like a diaper lmao
>>11218369People expected 8gigs of RAM, they expected a perfect, in between device and were THIS close to it.I, along with many saw the around $200 price as a limit for a daily driver. Also, the gap in power between the Odin 2 and the rest isn't insignificant. All I really wanted was a stronger, mid range clamshell, They haven't made one since the 3+ ffs. Consensus suggests they are the higher quality company out of these. They are the standard and they're slipping because they keep kiking and cutting corners at the last second.
>>11220264go to /g/ faggot, you're ruining this general
>>11220318They'll probably never do a clamshell again because they'll keep trying to reinvent the wheel with hinges instead of doing what fucking powkiddy did and just do a laptop stlye hinge. If you want a new clamshell, wait for the x19. (Not the actual name, and coming along nicely)
>>11220326Chinkhelds and Phones RUN /vr/ bitchboi. Plus, there's literally only ONE controller that's not chink and he didn't post it.
>>11220318It is an inbetween device though? It's right inbetween the lighterweight Anbernigs and such that only run up to some PS2/GC max and the heavyweight king Odin 2 that runs everything. Anon is completely right, people thought they were getting a $200-250 Odin 2. Won't deny that there are some cut corners though like a half-assed promise of Linux and Android 10. But looking at the broader spectrum of the market, it perfectly fits where it is when you compare it to stuff like the Pocket Air.
>>11220318The Mini seems like finally the ideal one for me even though it doesn't come in the transparent turquoise like the RP3 and RP4 did, but I only care about playing up to DreamCast and N64, not PS2 and GameCube/Wii. I almost bought the RP4, was waiting until I had an extra $200 to spend on it, but it still had some flaws which the Mini fixes completely. The Mini's gonna be my end game, I really do not enjoy playing any intense seventh generation games in a handheld format and stuff on PS2 and Xbox would be easy shit to run like Disgaea where any slowdown due to special effects wouldn't matter due to them already occurring in a slow, over-the-top tactics title.
>>11220343Like I swear they follow these threads, the analog sticks are even raised to be the same distance as the Vita's.
>>11220334No they don't, everyone hates you

>>11220379>RPMini screen doesn't take advantage of all the space but this allows the sticks to be offset>RP5 screen takes advantage of as much real estate as it possibly can to reach 5.5 inches while still staying Odin 2 Mini sized but it means the sticks are even less offset than on the RP4Very interesting how the two devices have completely opposite approaches on this. Which one do you guys prefer?
>>11219234>KAIO-KEN! TIMES! 50.!.!.!

>>11220404Mini by far. Not buying though.
Hello, 406H canceled.
>>11219975Is that why they won't make a six-face-button clamshell?
>>11215792tell me what handheld to buy. requirements are: >it has to be more powerful than a miyoo mini plus >cheaper than $100, $125 max, $150 max max max. >prefer linux so i don't have to set up a bunch of stuff, but it's not a deal breakeris RP2S still the king of that range? i have been on the point of buying a RP2S many times over the last 6 months but never pulled the trigger.
>>11220234that's the best part about chinktrollers, I can use just one for both my phone and pc
>>11220404And yet, all the control space you can eat on a clamshell. With all the many advantages that go with it. poketable, screen protection, etc..
>>11220579>rp2swhat games do you want to play that require stronger hardware than the miyoo mini plus but not a larger screen?
>>11216910what game is that? or is it just some generic pixel art?
>>11220191it does snes mostly well (enough to be playable, but not perfect), but GBA barely works. very few games are playable. also sucks multicore has been dropped...the last update was just after christmas. still a fun little device, but its far from perfect. also the dpad is shit - pressing right also randomly pressed up or down depending on your unit (had 5 but sold 4, and all had dpad issues)
>>11220219It turned into /retroid/ by ppl who dont play retro games, and they keep themselves relevant by saying no other 'held is on-topic cuz they dont 60fps every ps2 or saturn game without speedhacks or some other worthless impossible metric
How is Switch on Odin 2? I'm still not sure if Yuzu in its current state is just a meme or you can get full frame rare at decent res without too many bugsBtw… is there even a point in emulating Switch? I mean, I don't owe one—do games require you to use online and other services to enjoy games? I was just kind of thinking—MK is out, AC is out, all kinds of amiibo etc functionality is also out I guess.
>Android 10 is bad>Why?>This community is a joke.
>>11216351ds library absolutely shits on gba, you havent even tried exploring it. "only good games are snes ports" that applies to the GBA 1000x more than it does the DS. its off topic though
>>11217860throw some neo geo pocket in there and I think youll be impressed. only non nintendo handheld that is good aside from a few good gamegear/psp exclusives, and I do mean FEW
>>11220883>playing snes on gbabut they made the game look and sound like shit
>>11220938even a potato can emulate a SNES now so theres no reason to play any of the handheld ports at all. every tendie handheld has lots of shovelware ports easily but still has lots of great original games too
>>11220859I think they blame later Android versions for the shit 110+ms input latency when in reality it's all shit.
>>11220579How does $25 sound?
>>11220379If only we could mod the new screen into the RP2S...

>>11220685I have two and the d-pads are identical the the SNES controller's. Both launched with firmware where certain SNES titles and many GBA titles had to be loaded, exited, then re-opened to properly load into the RAM and play well, but the update fixed having to do that. I completed Sonic Advance 1 100%, but Advance 2 is a bitch needing to get all red rings and all seven emeralds with all four main characters. Tails and Cream just fly back and reach any red ring but Sonic has to be almost perfect speeds and jumps to reach some of them.
>>11220649They used this pixel prompt to make a generic screenshot.https://promptsideas.com/prompt/pixel-art-2d-platformer-game-levels
>>11221047That thing says “prompt contains 34 words”. Are people really paying money for words to type in to an AI? What the fuck.
>>11220754It runs more games than you may expect. Basically any 2D game will run at near or full speed. 3D games are hit or miss. Daemon X Machina worked great, but I had weird visual bugs that made Crymachina unplayable. Different turnip drivers also affect how well games play for obvious reasons. Check the game compatibility list on the odinhandheld reddit for more specifics.
>>11220953I mean this guy's test showed that A11 is no different than A13 on that front so unless the problem literally started at 11, 10 is going to be the same.
The 32gb micro sd cards I bought for my PSP don't work even though I'm already using 32gb sd card and it works fine.. They are in Fat32 format, I made an exact copy of the CFW files from the one sd card to the others just removing the ISO files. They just refuse to read in the PSP. Any suggestions?
>>11220754It's title based. I can run Odyssey and BotW flawlessly. Luigi's Mansion 3 can't even get 20 fps.
>buy an RG35XX last summer>literally first handheld since GBA>feels good but mostly for RPG because triggers aren't that comfortable neither is the form factor>order a TSP>incredibly pleased with it>top tier comfort>proceed to play Pokemon CrystalI'm genuinely retarded
>>11221553I noticed that when you go on a "streak", you'll want to keep playing more of the same. I was waiting for my RP4 and since I had nothing else to play I got back to Heroes 3, although I thought I was tired of the game and getting back to it felt awkward. When my RP4 finally arrived, I realized I wanted to keep playing Heroes more than anything.Same thing why it's easier to keep playing games from same console or same series. You kind of get into a certain mood and won't like switching gears. Even if the experience isn't all that great, you'll stick to the familiar stuff because you're in the mood and it just feels more comfortable. Just force yourself to play something different for a bit, wait for the "gears" to switch.
I'm mulling over whether I should get a chink handheld or just splurge on a Rog Ally X.
>>11221609As usual, idorts are the master race.
>>11221609what do you want to emulate?
>>11221648Everything!Seriously though. Passable PS2 and Gamecube emulation would be nice.
Turns out the new Acer PC handheld is a rebranded chinkheld, like how Tectoy's PC handheld are just rebranded AYN Lokis. Only somehow Acer made the design look worse than it already did.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CRs3QKxl2tU

>>11215893Funny, I bought a handheld off a guy who was selling it because he bought a steam deck. I use it most every day just to fiddle around with random games, though sometimes focus on specific games, I beat Final Fantasy 2 just the other day on it, GBA version. It's very good because every two weeks I take my mother to the doctor's via train and while she's watching the cows outside I'm playing gran Turismo, specifically because it's pocketable, and the deck isn't.>b-but phone emulation I'm not a woman.

>>11222169Is your card set up well? Did you try booting it with a new card?
>>11222169Try flashing another card, preferably with muOS or Knulli so you don't have to download 40GB for no reason.
>>11222169Stock sdcard?
>>11222176>>11222179>>11222181Yep, I just got it today. I thought it could be an issue related to the shitty stock sd card the console comes with, but it won't work even once? I was reading the problem can also be related to the USB C fast charger I used the first time, but I don't have time to investigate further. Guess I will have to buy a new micro sd card and flash an updated firmware in it, thank you guys.Sheesh, there it goes my free Sunday...
>>11220754Depends on title, people reporting witcher 3 is faster on odin2 than on the switch itself.Also depends on if you want to play the docked or the handheld mode of the game you are looking for. Only multiplayer games requir only mostly
>>11222218>USB C fast chargerRunning theory is that is how you melt and set these things on fire because it's wired wrong (shorted even) for USB-C specs and some chargers don't know how to handle it. Always charge from USB A.>>11192573>>11192574
>>11222218Also, if the card's a Koxia, it's a good one. Try reflashing it in that case.
>>11221713>>11221757>>11221970Actually this is a bit underresearched video.Terrans force does not produce anything apart from marketing material.

Well i finally recieved my Trimui and i have to say it feels i should have pay more im very happy with it, anyways does anyone have a setup guide minimize battery consumption?
>>11221713I think what I hate the most about laptop makers jumping into handhelds is that they bring their brainrot fighter jet gamer aesthetic with them.

>>11222385Crossmix has good battery life unless you are playing PS1/N64/PSP/DC with double or higher resolution.

>>11222408It runs great on an odin 2 but it needs to be vulkan. openGL will have pretty bad framedrops during crashes. Can't say if RP4 can handle it full speed.
>>11222408no
>>11222071Using 4chan words® doesn't mean you fit here, anon
>>11217984>The price is the sameOnly for the first day of preorders. RP4 will also realistically get at least a $10 price cut soonish.>>11222416They both have 5000mAh batteries, probably the exact same one. Their chips also bench at the same battery efficiency. There might be a slight real world difference because of driver fuckery, idk, but the main difference will likely come down to the screen. I often read OLED is more energy efficient, but the screen itself is also about 37% larger in terms of area and has double the pixel count. I've seen as high as 15.5 hours on PS1 for the RP4P (phawx vid) and as low as 2.5 hours when the fan is blasting while maxxing out on PS2. We'll how battery life turns out on the RP5, but I'm not expecting a huge difference either way. I would guess a smidge worse than RP4P if you put a gun to my head.
I have a feeling this is going to fuck something up, at least during the launch window.
>>11222521inb4 $20 price hike
>>11222521I really dislike how we got nothing but renders and Retroid is exploiting their abusive pricing with these early bid pre-order pricing shit.
>>11222525That's what I was worried about it, but apparently the price will stay the same. I think the tradeoff will be the RP5 getting delayed or the software being rushed and buggy af at launch.>>11222534Yeah it's pretty gay.
>>11222521bullying works
Jesus fucking Christ, these idiots are defending the Mini not getting extra RAM JESUS FUCKING CHRIST WHY I KNOW AT LEAST HALF OF THOSE AREN'T BEING PAID FOR THIS
>>11222525sex with Tama-chan senpai
>>11222521>fumbled Linux>fumbled Androidnot feeling too good on the software side here
>>11222559There's nothing wrong with it not getting extra ram, but the price should be dropped to compensate.
>>11222569This, plus $199 is already pretty steep for a 'held with a significantly smaller screen
>>11222536Actually there will be a price hike, except for pre-orders.>>11222568I imagine they'll get a beta build from Qualcomm in advance, which for light usage -should- be fine, but the way they handled this really inspires little confidence.>>11222569Yeah, the Mini keeps becoming a worse deal by the minute.
>>11222576I mean, look at this, what the fuck. It's like they aren't even being made simultaneously and by the same company.
>>11222572Yep. It's fucked up how much more I would've been willing to pay for the Mini if the screen were even just 0.3" bigger.>>11222576>Actually there will be a price hike, except for pre-orders.Oh shit, really? That sucks ass.>>11222581It's fucking baffling.
>rp5 to start shipping late october>since this is retroid that actually means early november, with people who didn't order in the first 2 minutes shipping mid - late novemberkek yeah it totally got delayed for this. brother zhou just got thrown a lifeline. time to announce the arc+ max, there are dozens of us that will buy it.
>>11222521>>11222525>$220 USDHalloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, Snow Tires, Boxing Day Sales.... nope I'll be waiting until march or so when my upcoming debts are all paid off
https://x.com/Retroid0fficial/status/1832608480353558940
>>11222607So a month delay on the RP5 to account for the change. I'd rather that than a price increase.
>>112225212nd SD card slot?USB A ports at the front?Clamshell with six (optional) face buttons?Any of those too? $240 is my max offer.
>>11222521Well shoot, took 'em long enough.
>>11222601>buying things you dont have money forMEGA BASED
Well, "technically", since the Mini is theoretically (at least) supposed to replace the 2S, it still is a direct upgrade. Qualcomm SD865 > Unisoc T610; 3.7'' AMOLED > 3.5'' LCD; 6 GB RAM > 4 GB RAM. The real issue is that, unlike 2S, the RPMini no longer offers an exceptional value proposal; it's just *adequately* priced for its capabilities.
>>11222759>it's just *adequately* priced for its capabilities.Not while the 5 mogs it at comparable prices it isn't. Honestly, unless Linux plays out far better than expected with Retroid sharing software they shouldn't, this thing is a hard skip.
>>11222761RP5 is likely to be $239 after the price hike, for non "uhrly burd"-ers.
>>11222763Yeah, but when you know Retroid pricing you're stuck deciding now.
>>11222759it has both snapdragon and oled which are keywords/buzzwords for premium product in this market
>>11222769>basic cell phone hardware + plastic = premium
>>11222765That is self-evident. If you want to buy one of them *now*, going for the 5 is the optimal move, given the pre-order price remains unchanged. I'm talking about after this particular timeframe elapses.
AYO GET THIS NEW FEATURE JUST DROPPED: swapon -a
>>11222521Will the 2gb of ram really make a difference though? And did you really need android 13?
>>11222776Think I'll just keep my 2S and see if they don't fuck up next year. 5 feels crippled in its own rights too, they really should have given it more clearance for controls, no one's fucking pocketing these.
>>11222786Won't Mini eventually get A13 as well, only later?
Is a price hike even confirmed?
>>11222804
The Mini looks like a downgraded RP4P but for the same price. Why buy it?
>>11222804>>11222808This is so fucking stupid, I wanted to wait until reviews were out before making a final decision but now I feel forced to preorder it since those prices are staying the same. If the retail price is going to be something like $239, then getting it for $199 will be an absolute steal.
>>11222786For yuzu
>>11222819Because you're looking at it from the wrong angle. Mini isn't a downgraded 4Pro, it's a boosted 2S. Unfortunately, its price suffered a similar boost.
>>11222835You're a big guy.And anyway this won't run switch games well.
>>11222850 >And anyway this won't run switch games well. This. You need 8 Gen2 at minimum.
>>11222850>probablyBased on any real evidence, or are you just having a heckin bellyfeel?
>>11222850It'll likely run them better than 4pro, which didn't run them well at all. But indie shit works.
>>11222850>>11222853Depends on what Switch games. Mario Odyssey? Yeah you'll need the Odin 2. Some lighter JRPGs on the console like Triangle Strategy? Those will run fine.
>>11222481tbf he has the only /vr/ post in this entire thread
>>11222808I'm guessing $10-$20 more expensive. Which is kind of even more baffling since that firmly put it into "why not just get an Odin 2" territory.
Switch Lite + MIG Switch v2 is cheaper than anything powerful enough to emulate the Switch right now.
>>11222772>shitty chinkheld that has less features >shittier display>less horsepower>worse controls>cant play anything past gen 5 well without blowing up'"premium"". ifaggots and chinkheld posters eternally coping ITT
>>11222615Any over that price in the mid 200s and it might as well be a stronger chip like the 888 or even the S8g1, Given the proximity to the Odin's $300..
Let me guess, you need more.
>>11222908888 and S8G1 are toaster ovens. Even with a fan they'd suck for extended play.
>>11222908Stop asking for the 888 or Gen 1 you retard, they were both infamous for having heating issues.
>>11222904It's definitely the best way to play Genesis Plus GX Wide, n64 decomps and the rest of my favorite 19.5:9 retro video games
>>11222924>black bars on the side of the screen>NOOOO THIS IS UNPLAYABLE!!!>16:9 game letterboxed down to the size of an ant>this is acceptablesure most games I play will be 4:3 and not widescreen. but id rather have the option. black bars are not a big deal if youre not a total autist. is NSO unplayable because its not le heckin 4:3 screen
>>11222901Unironically, buying RP4P + Switch would cost me the same if not less than buying Odin 2 due to taxes and stuff. Odin 2 is still more powerful, but at this point not sure what I'd need that power for, plus it's huge and heavy
>>11221661Then I'd go with the Ally Xthe liberties that come with windows/bazzite trump the smaller form factor of any capable chinkheld

>>11223226probably not, because of the controls
>>11221327Format it to NTFS or exFAT first, then let the PSP reformat it in the way it wants. Make sure you do it from the CFW since formatting large memcards in OFW will just corrupt them. Also, if you have a two-slot microSD to MS adapter but only use one mSD, insert it into the slot #1 (the one that's closer to the contacts)
>>11223075>niece>himI'm gonna assume you meant nephew but ok. Also I think "netplay" on these devices is usually just over the same wifi connection, so mostly local play. Check your doctors for more information.
>>11222904Cool. What's the price difference?And don't forget to factor in an additional $80-$120 for a controller that isn't garbage.
>>11223075Retroarch + gpSP
>>11223006How much was the GBC build? I kind of want to use the cable link to play with my brother.
My SD card got corrupted as I was running an update check on CrossMix. And now it keeps displaying a "Press A to update CrossMix" screen. I've tried running chkdsk, but I think some files got ruined. Is there a way to fix it, without having to create a fresh install on another card? I'd want to keep my settings and files. Manually copying stuff is tedious.
>>11223503Whatever files got ruined consider them lost. I think windows will collect them into a folder.
>>11222910Got my niches covered pretty well, so I'm happy.
>>11223619How are you supposed to fold up the bottom one? Do you have to unscrew the joystick lever?
>>11222406Its still crazy how Ayaneo and AYN were the only windows handheld manufacturers to not make devices with the "Gamer" aesthetic beyond RGB lights on the sticks, and they aren't even big names. Do people really think they look good, because even the ROG Ally looks like shit compared to the Loki and Steam Deck, or any Ayaneo devicec post NEXT.
>>11223652>Do you have to unscrew the joystick lever?Yes.
>>11223729Is there a compartment to store it?
>>11223805The compartment is in the middle of the device, next to the speaker and the Start/Select/Volume buttons.
>>11222481The dude didn't even use 4chan words. For example: You are a gay nigger faggot, those are 4chan words, but I need you to really grasp something..You are a nigger, you are the blackest retard gorrilla nigger I've ever seenEvery one of you phone posters are niggers and kikes.

>>11223897Then go to /g/... They already have a thread for you
>>11223903I wasn't replying to you. Or, that isn't your image because you don't own any handhelds. The dude made those two ugly custom GBCs for himself and his wife.

Wait so the rp5 coming out for pre-orders is not the one with more RAM right? The 8gb version after will be the one that costs more?
>>11223974This is an Anonymous imageboard. You do not know that you are talking to a dog.
>>11223980Yeah bro, you're totally a dog, for sure not that filthy ugly neet that still lives with their parents. Is this you?
>>11223985not retro
>>11223985What game is that? Its not minish cap is it?
>>11223978There is no 6gb version of the RP5 anymore. They are all coming out with 8gb and Android 13. That's why it's shipping later than the Mini now. Preorder prices are staying the same but retail price is going up from $219.
>>11223985what game?
>>11223985Hey I remember this picture.Someone called you Indian and you spent the next 30 minutes flinging shit over it until the janny finally banned you. The more things change, huh?

>>11224080This looks fine (although unnecessary) for a powkiddy product.
>>11224069Or just keep the pre-order specs the same and sell for the same price, then jack up the price for the 8GB "pro" variant after.
>>11224053I got hand cramps just looking at that dpad positioning
>>11224084Retroid stated that they don't intend to produce a Pro version of the RP5.

>>11224163you don't. it's literally pointless. unless youre playing gachanigger shit or switch shit (in which case youre both retarded and on the wrong device). they were probably confused at the outrage and delighted to get the good press from "fixing" the problem.
Is there a handheld device that can read and play gamecube discs? I'm basically holding out for it and not planning on buying anything else related to handheld games or emulation in its absence. Every few years i come to /vr/and see if it exists as a product I can purchase.

>>11224189No. Fucking idiot.
>>11224189I should add that price is not a factor after all these years, but I wont pay for a one-off custom device, I specifically am waiting until humanity at large can buy a handheld gamecube disc player product and discuss it together online.

>>11223987>>11224013It's one of the Frogger games for GBA. Probably one of the "ports" from the gamecube games.
>>11224189The handheld industry has largely moved past anything like that. Emulation is so good these days (particularly for GameCube) and it’s relatively easy to emulate for mid range handhelds and up for a low price already. There’s effectively no reason to use original hardware in a portable console for innumerable reasons , including things like astronomical manufacturing cost and terrible battery life. It’s a pure novelty so no company will ever seriously pursue it. Making your own is your best bet, but you should just get a Steam Deck or something if you want excellent portable GameCube emulation.
I debated upgrading to the 5. But then I realized I'd be spending $200 again to play the same psp and vita games that I am currently playing.
>>11222917No one asked for them, cum hunter.They're readily used as examples for the price to power ratio. Odin 2 is representing more of a discrepancy given Steam deck's x86 advantages anyway.
>>11215792so for the TrimUI Smart Pro, which one of the currently available custom firmwares(CrossMix, Tomato OS, and Knulli) do you guys like best?
>>11224970>TomatoOSNever tried but hasn't been updated in like 6 months, it's probably dead>KnulliHad promise but hasn't updated in 2 months and PSP and Sleep Mode still don't work>CrossmixThe best option right now since it enhances some emulator performance and has nice features but I personally had some problems with it so I moved back to Stock with enhancements.
>>11224970Crossmix. Tomato was pretty bad and Knulli was locked behind a paywall. When I had a problem with Crossmix I talked to the dev and he fixed it within a day and personally got back to me with the solution.
>>11223927Thanks doc. Although he orange now.
>>11225008Oh yeah another annoying thing about Knulli is that you can only add files through FTP because of the way it partitions your SD card. Weird decision.
>>11225027From what I heard on the h700 end, Knulli needs the partition to be ext4 for the ports to work correctly. Also heard trying to mount ext4 under Windows programs tends to corrupt things, so beware of that.
>>11225032I only tried Knulli a few times before going back to Crossmix. The TSP's Sleep Mode is too much of a killer feature for me to not have and I also prefer just moving files the old fashioned way.
>>11223430Like $100 altogether, it's honestly a really good value
>>11225046>I also prefer just moving files the old fashioned way.I don't get it, but you do you. I'm happy to not have to deal with these tiny things and their finicky little slots.
Hey fags, i wanna get a handheld for my little sister during christmas, i was gonna do the RP5 but am seeing that the RP4 pro is a better deal, am i right or should i get a better handheld if it exists and if so what should i get?
>>11225149How much are you willing to spend?
>>11225149How old is she? You better not be buying some $200+ chinkheld for a 6 year old or something, that's a waste.
>>11225178up to 230>>11225183shes 14
>>11225276>>11225149The 5 is probably the best power to price, however not sure I would trust a 14 yo girl with the Linux tinkering required to get the most from it. There's also the consideration of pocket size. The RP4 has a smaller size (good, more pocket-able) owing to it's smaller screen (unfortunately). She may consider that an advantage. If Retroid were smart, they'd reevaluate their decision to forgo the clamshell form factor as this would solve any pocket-ability issue with the RP5. So in short, me? I'd wait for a clamshell. You? probably should consider the options. Retroid are decent, but others exist.
>>11224834Smart man, this is why I haven’t bought any more handhelds since I got my deck at launch. Once you have something that fits your needs, it’s hard to stay on the high-speed hamster wheel of the current handheld market.
>>11225276Is she into tech? If not, you should probably just get her a Switch, man. My little sister stopped at anything more complex than the GBA but if yours is tech-inclined, the RP5 is going to be the best at that price range.
>>11225149No reason to get a rp4 since the rp5 exists now.But really you should just get her a switch lite or something. Normal people don't want to play games from 20 years ago.
>>11225276I'd wait to see if there are any defects with the 5 before buying it as a gift.
>>11225276Why are you gifting a tinkerer's device to a 14 year old?
>>11225321That and within the next year you've got switch 2 and a bunch of other handheld pcs releasing. I wouldn't be surprised if a deck 2 is announced within the next few months. There's enough hardware coming out that there's no need to double dip.
>>11225401>he didn't write perl scripts at 14
already have a RP4P, what reason would there be to get a 5?kinda want a more gimmicky handheld instead that can do the DS decently
>>11225414Brother, this has been the case for years and it doesn’t stop people from buying tons of crap handhelds that they’ll barely ever touch. There’s ALWAYS something new in the horizon. I’m not even going to look at a Deck 2, because the first one is already more than good enough for me. Again, you gotta get off the hamster wheel once your needs are met.
>>11225570There's also the fact that the original Deck has tons of great upscaling solutions when you connect it via USB video output. If you're fine with indie games or old PC games, you're good.
>>11223075AFAIK Fire Red/Leaf Green and Emerald are the only games you can actually link up via Wi-Fi. They were compatible with a wireless GBA add-on or something that can be emulated in Retro Arch. Unfortunately, link cables can't be emulated in the same way, so Gen1, 2 and R/S are all off the table. I have no idea about the DS.
>>11226026I think melon standalone and desume have wifi compatibility. Drastic is supposed to get, but that's not being added until it goes open source.
enjoying my gamesir
>>11226102I don't want another controller or handheld, but how's that dpad? Youtube Shills don't like dpads as much as they used to, so they just test the sticks/triggers and that's it
>>11226115The dpad uses microswitches, and they're very clicky. The face buttons are membrane buttons. I prefer tactile microswitches because they are more durable than rubber membranes, but the face buttons feel okay. I chose this controller because it has a headphone jack. What I don't like about this controller is that my phone doesn't set the controller's headphone jack as default, and I have to use an app to force it to use the headphone jack of the controller.
>>11223927Download Hyper Lode Runner, is good gameAlso Metal Gear Solid and Picross games are kino too, and the one roguelike GB game
If they raise the price to 240 for the 2gb of ram, I feel like it will no longer be in the 'best value' category. Hitting close to $200 is very important.
>>11226230They just revealed the new retail price. It's $225.
>>11226230>spending $200 on chinkhelds
>>11226230Don't forget with s&h they add like $30 on.
>>11225063Considering the fpgbc is dogshit and less accurate than an emulator, I'd say no it's not worth it
