Will the Miyoo Flips explode like the Anbernic ones?
No handholding?Chesee....
>>11327074Handholding is how babies are made
Overdosing is better than handhelds
>>11327001The color options look nicer than the SP. Bonus points if it comes with the self destruct feature
OLED Steam DeckWindows HandheldRetroid 5I'm having a hard time weighing the pros and cons of each. I mean a Retroid would probably do me fine and save me the headache of having to learn Linux plus it wouldn't cost me my first born but I like pc games too, the only reason I'm considering a windows handheld is Gog installers, which can work on the deck but again requires work around that is a headache to set up.
>>11327130What games do you want to play
>>11327136Everything up to Ps2 and Gamecube. Wii isn't viable as the games I want to play require waggle like Prime 3 or Galaxy. PC wise I play alot of boomer shooters like Star Wars Dark Forces or Heretic which I have on Gog not steam
>>11327124I'm not a huge fan of the pastel super famicom buttons personally. Wish they were a bit more vibrant.
fellas help me, I need hanhdeld mainly for pokemon so gba/gbc.what I need from it:>fast bootup>good screen>good buttons>good battery(6h)was thinking about miyoo A30 but its getting hot I heard (also 2.8 screen is small), or that anbernic flip but idk.anything else?
>>11327212RG35XXH, king of handheldssimple as
>>11327212miyoo mini plus can be found for like 30-40 bucks without coupons on aliexpress regularly. install onionOS on that shit and get the nice shaders and overlays going on that make it look just like the old thing. comfy as fuck
>>11327212>or that anbernic flip but idkThere is a dedicated schizo shitposting it but it's actually good (if you do the tape mod and take good care of it because yeah chinkhelds on general are a little on the fragile side of things)
>>11327154Why not just get the RP4P? Afaik the 5 is only slightly more powerful
>>11327230Finally an actual Moemon fan
>>11327084there is a bit more to it than that
>>11327237Android >10 n64 emulation is kind of shitty. Take Banjo Kazooie, it plays great but there is missing textures everywhere. It's a sour point for me as I love n64 games
>>11327267Like what? I was always told that if you hold hands with a girl, you'll have a baby. Apparently kissing does the same thing, which I always found odd.
>>11327001Who in Powkiddy’s name thought that shade of piss-yellow looked good?
Apparently GoreTroid fucked up and accidently shipped the wrong color with the glass for their orange units. You can either keep it for a $15 refund or you can refund it for a proper white/orange model.>>11327071Hopefully not, but with how the plastic looks on the D-pad and the shells I'm expecting them to melt around summertime.
>>11327071Hopefully, then maybe they will look better
jesus fucking christ
>>11327328>Specifically with the glass frontThat was such an awful idea, I still can't believe they went ahead with it in a desperate attempt to one up Ayaneo. They should have just relegated that to their Odin line up, since Retroid is supposed to be the more "affordable and reliable" brand.
>>11327289I actually like this though. It's like a Half-Life colour theme
Let's see how it'll compare to the RG35XX SP
>>113272724pro and 5 have same android version. It's basically do you want to pay more for a bigger oled screen and snapdragon.>>11327130The best money to value would be a steamdeck unless you care about battery and/or size. If you're only doing up to ps2 and cube, then the retroid should be fine.
>>11327343Well, they aren't making any more of them unfortunately. They've since corrected the glass color for all units that didn't ship yet.
>>11327328>aim to have the device ready for early next year>early next yearoof
Guys, help, my R4 keeps freezing every time I play Pokemon.The roms that I use work fine on the emulator
what have you nerds been playing, i just started ff7 for the first time
Can anyone give me a tldr: is RP Mini any better in PS2 than RP4P?
>>11327275>>11327267it involves benis.
got my 28xx today, buttons aren't really that bad except for L1 and R1, i'll see if i can print them a little bigger, anyways which cfw would you recommend, knulli, muos or something else entirely?
>>11327365Pokemon black and white have anti piracy stuff, you need a patched rom or you can use a dsi with twilight menu installed
>>11327328Does that faggot still claim Ayn and Retroid are unrelated?
>>11327382Actually it involves two people who aren't me doing something I'll never do, just like holding handsAlso Sapphire rocks
>>11327389Pokemon Black and White 2 works fine for me, but HeartGold and Pearl keep freezing after a while
>>11327328They dont even start manufacturing them until people order?
>>11327340Do people actually even like qaaf fucking glass front? It just makes it fragile and a fingerprint magnet
>>11327368Just started persona 2 innocent sin
>>11327328kwabNever, EVER listen to consumers, specially the "potential" ones that didn't fucking boughteneded any of your previous products.
just got a base retroid pocket 4, should I clone the micro sd before booting it up
>>11327365>Roms
https://youtu.be/Cx9uWbe_6sw?si=KgQ0Mm2SP_sbZHdZIt looks cool ngl
>>11327419where is that picture from?god it's so ugly and shiny...
How the fuck do I make the Dreamcast roms I added to Anbernigger's RG35 devices register the fucking d-pad as the analog stick for games not already pre-installed in them? Holy fucking shit. "Left Analog stick (Forced)" does NOTHING. These games all run perfectly except I can't fucking control the character since RetroArch won't fucking assign analog to digital input no matter what I fucking do.
>>11327508Tapping the power button on the RG35XX SP/RG28XX/etc switches between analog and digital mode as a hot key press.
>>11327353If I ordered a retroid 5 now do you think it'd arrive in New York by November? I'll be going on a trip all through December and wouldn't be able to receive it then.
I have been thinking about getting the chinksp as my first (and hopefully last) chinkheld since it's "only 60$" but with taxes and shipping it comes out to 80€at that point I might as well use my phone or just abstain from mobile gaming
>>11327289be careful guys, some stores sell fake r36s'I personally just pay more to avoid the hassle of not getting what I paid for
>>11327519See >>11327328
>>11327519RP4P anon
>>11327554I should probably fess up now that I made that fake image with chatgpt and inspect element for a giggle.
>>11327370I'd google videos. It has less ram and a similar performance chip but better drivers.
>>11327438It's taking them 6 months to figure out how to fit another 2 ram.
>>11327517Doesn't work
>>11327431I told you what to do faggot
>it's kino
>>11327537>but with taxes and shipping it comes out to 80€sucks to suck
>>11327537You don't have right to complain.In our country anything over 50$ is 92% due to hellish multiplication with multiple taxes.your 60$ + 40$ shipping* will become 200$ here. *I dunno how much shipping cost in your country.
>>11327616And what did you tell me?
>>11327657Australia?
>>11327667BRASIL.
>>11327670This is an American image board. It is Brazil.
How long can i expect a micro sd card to last if i use it to store roms and nothing else? I've read that excessive writing/erasing can wear it down but does reading from it also degrade it?
here we go with the miyoo sympathizer OP
>>11327130If you can really only have one, the SD is the best choice. I got mine with LCD on day one, and it's been a great machine. I unironically haven't touched my gaming desktop in several years because it's just so convenient taking my deck with me to the living room and either playing it handheld or plugging it up to its dock.But there are two problems. First and foremost, the battery is absolute ass. If you're playing anything recently released, unoptimized, or otherwise with high fidelity, expect the battery life to droop down below 2.5 hours. Even with extremely low spec software, this thing can't go for very long. I played GBA games on a flight a few hours back, and the thing legit died after six hours. The other problem is that the SD is way too big to comfortably hold for longer sessions. I've got big hands and muscular forearms too, so don't buy the "manlet" cope. Anybody would get tired of holding this thing after a couple hours.But maybe that doesn't matter to you. It mattered enough to me to get two other devices:>RG35XXSPFor GBA specifically, and>Retroid Pocket MiniFor any and all emulation PS2 and below.I'm happy with the devices I've got. Again, if you can only have one, the SD is the best choice, but if 99% of your playtime is gonna be emulating PS2 and below while handling the device itself on the couch, then you might end up wishing you had something lighter.
>>11327679if you buy a new one and dont use the sd card that comes with the unit you get, you shouldn't have much of any problems
picrel + an android phone/small tabletlet me guess, you need more?
>>11327683not OP and don't own or care about miyoo but do you just assume only one person shills for the MMP on here? it's quite literally the most popular emulation handheld and is still getting recommended basically everywhere except this board, and that's really only because everyone here is a contrarian friendless goon who can't be happy without getting a few extra games runnable on a device they're hardly gonna use. To be honest, if you have more than one or two of these scam handhelds, you're just as cringe as the miyoo brainlets.
>>11327696I need less
>>11327708>$15 refund for an unintentionally better looking colour schemeHow is that not a win..?Unless you have examples where people got the white glass cover instead of a darker colour and it looks like a premium Fisher Price toy now, kek
>I didn't preorder the Retroid Pocket Mini and now these awesome orange and grey models are going to be resold for a retarded premiumaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>11327712based
>>11327456Yeah? Isn't that how the Sharp Twin looks?
Best site to buy curated roms? I can get/have them myself but I'm a lazy asshole and more into paying than to deal with making a folder for every Mario game or metroidvania or other custom filters.
>>11327728nigger what
>>11327728My brother in christ, just make a list of roms you want, download them, put together the folder structure, and organize your roms. Assuming you want ROMs to play them and not complete system collections to scroll through absentmindedly before turning the machine off and staring at the ceiling.
>>11327728@csi @fbitvshow @nintendoUm do something!!!
>>11327419>Mini the only full glass panel one as to intentionally scrape buttonsYou know what, fuck Retroid. The 2S was a fluke.
>>11327728bruh
>>11327737>>11327739I'm serious and I want all of them. Want to be able to play a random golf game even if it's arcade or atari. But to sort through millions of roms including PC is too much
>>11327419not the same company btw
>>11327750dude just look at a select console's roms and just grab what you want you fucking dingus
>>11327758Sort through by console? But what if I don't want to? I want to play certain types across all keywords. Vertical shoot em ups, beat em ups ,co-op, games for girlfriend, etc
>>11327368Made it to stage 5 on Splatterhouse (TG16 ver). Its fun but its really starting to kick my ass, stage boss is what screws me over.>>11327443I actually don't know what percentage of Retroid users wanted a glass front to begin with. And I don't mean for the RP5, I mean for something simple like the Mini too. At least with something metal it'll be scratched and banged up to shit if you drop it a lot, but it won't shatter into a million pieces like a smartphone.
>>11327772At least it has a lot of plastic surrounding the glass to absorb impacts unlike smartphones which are only encased in thin stiff metal so I don't think it will break as easily.
>>11327728>>11327750how
>>11327071We won't know because none of them will sell.
>>11327728>>11327750Ah, a proud Steam user. You will own nothing and pay out the nose for it. Godspeed.
>>11327289Unless you were really down for the white, I would take the $15. I dunno if it's just the picture but the orange looks gold here.
>>11327328I was about to be really mad. You got me.
Is goretroid com the real website?
>>11327837No, that's some weird Chinese scammer site built using AI.
>>11327828>review units will be in the hands of your favorite YouTubers very soon.>don't believe everything you read on the internetthese two statements are hilarious to see typed one right after the other.t. boughteded the RP5
>AYANEO Flip Ds>mfw I saw the priceYou could buy 2 Rog Allys at that price
>>11327910It has two screens which means they can charge twice the price.
>>11327764sounds like a you problem then bucko
>>11327772>I actually don't know what percentage of Retroid users wanted a glass front to begin with.0%It's them listening to the vita shape retards. It just so happens that they also didn't explicitly mentioned to not copy the glass front, so they went full retard and did it.
>>11327927Why I'm asking if there is a site that sells curated organized lists
>>11327940Just lookup those "top 50 roms for GBA/NDS/GC/whatever" packs and go from there. Buying a preloaded micro SD is lunacy because they're literally just going to do what I and everyone else is telling you to do. You're paying a 500% moron tariff for absolutely no reason.
>>11327764Well, if some random nerds figured out a way to add achievements to retro games, sure at some point some team will figure out how to add a ton of tags for retro games that you could use in RetroArch or something to filter games like Steam does. Meanwhile, have a (you)
>>11327963It actually sucks for him to get the packs now because archive is down
>>11327996Actually, I think Daijisho on my RP2S automatically added genre tags to roms while it scraped
>>11327130>Steam deckCan emulate any system and play pretty much every PC game up to 2022 perfectly. Is massive and pretty heavy though.>Windows handheldNot sure which one you mens but I'll just assume Rog Ally X. Similar to the deck, but with more power letting it play PC games up to 2023 perfectly and with better battery. Drawbacks is that it's heavy, no touchpad, and is extremely expensive.>Retroid 5Small, good battery life, and plays everything up to GC and PS2 almost perfectly. Can do some switch too. Drawbacks is its android so you don't get the Xbox/ps3 emulators the pc handhelds have, but you do get to play android games without hassle.
xkings. we won.https://x.com/redherring32/status/1847374557919015089
>>11327963I already have 4tb of roms. I'm referring to the fact I want them all able to be filtered and have their own marquee saying shit like "3 player , 2d platform, ywnbaw, etc
>>11328061It's glorious
>>11328067Again, on Android devices, the Daijisho frontend adds genre tags for you when it scrapes for boxart. So you can just do that with an RP2S or something
>>11328079I think scrappers can do that for ES too, never bothered.
>>11327419Retried is owned by moorechip. Moorechip simply produces ayn’s products. Retroid products got influenced by odin’s after the Odin 1. The any president also worked at jxd before, but I can’t remember which specific devices he did here
>>11327939Retroid always wanted to use the shape. Their buyers don’t influence their design decisions. Reviewers and Ayaneo do and they fell for the same brainrot max zhou has
>>11327230>>11327245tfw artists spent hundreds of hours drawing these when you can ai generate them now
>>11328146>we want it like a vita>wtf we didn't asked for a glass front?WOW
>>11328171I said I want it shaped like a Vita. SHAPED
Until somebody explains how the fuck to make any added DreamCast roms outside of the already included ones with Anbernix Allwiner H700 devices like the RG35XX SP, I'm going to assume literally not one fucking faggot who bought one actually has the basic bitch file/folder knowledge on how to add their own roms and thus never encountered the issues with added roms not running properly even when giving them individual profile/input profiles.You scammed me into buying this shit and now I just don't use it not wanting its battery to explode or its hinge to burst apart.Until one of you explains how to add roms and have them properly work, I can only assume you're all BR brags literally playing whatever is preloaded for you.
>>11328183I am Carypsou, and I thank you for praying Twisted Metar!
>>11328183>>11328171Literally show me anywhere where the fan renditions of a proper Retroid Vita had a fucking glass front to them, because of the TEN I know of not a single fucking one had or asked for glass. Fuck Retroid. It seems like they put glass on the Mini specifically to make the RP5 look like a less retarded purchases, like how movie theatres price pop corn so most people buy a large since the Medium is so stupidly priced and needless.
>>11328146Wait, why would Ayaneo influence the design of the RP5/Mini? I can understand it for the Odin Portal as a top end competitor, but not their budget lines.
>>11328191>TFW Twisted Metal never came to the PS Vita
>>11328196>influences odin portal>"fuck it, might as well do this glass meme we just figured out for the retroids too"
>>11328192I cheat because I include the pink version and yellow versions as two different fan concepts out of the total "ten" I mentioned.
>>11328201Listening to customers =/=bad business in and of itself, though. How and what is done with the feedback is where it counts the most.
>>11328189You've already been spoonfed the solution and you're stupid.>>11328191I need to replay TM2.
>Wanted a RP3/RP3+ but its fucking Start/Select/Volume placement and brick shape>Wanted a RP4/RP4P which fixes the 3's shit Start/Select/Volume button placement with better specs but still a fucking rectangle brick>RPMini announced>Seemingly perfect>PlayStation Vita form factor>INFLATING THE PRICE BY ADDING THE FUCKING GLASS FRONT THAT LITERALLY NOBODY ASKED FOR AND LITERALLY NOBODY WANTSaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHWith the rate they keep fucking up their mid-tier/top-tier devices in the stupidest ways, I doubt I willl ever fucking bother buying any Retroid product. Unless they release a Retroid Pocket Mini with no glass at a $160 price point.I've bought Powkiddy, Miyoo, Anbernic, Data Frog, but Retroid just keeps making the stupidest fucking decisions for literally no good reason. Like they went out of their way to make the Retroid Pocket Mini cost more money with the custom glass fronts that are total shit, grind the face and d-pad buttons apart with regular use, scratches up from fucking cloth running across it/ resting in a pocket. THEY SPENT MORE MONEY MAKING THE SYSTEM WORSE SO THEY COULD JUSTIFY IT COSTING MORE MONEY TO CUSTOMER WHEN NOT HAVING THE GLASS AT ALL WOULD HAVE MADE IT MORE POPULAR AND LESS EXPENSIVE.Whoever the fuck decided to put glass on the Retroid Pocket Mini should be literally executed. Publicly dangled that retard by his neck on television.
>>11328205>You've already been spoonfed the solution and you're stupid.Sweet,Link to the solution, then.Tapping the Power button isn't a working solution.
>>11328223>Wanted a RP2S>Got a RP2S
>>11328223I mean Retard and Retroid have the same number of letters in 'em.
>>11328225It is on muOS. I take it you're on stock because you're stupid, even though you could bind these just fine there anyway.
>>11328227
>>11328227>wanted a brick
>>11328231>I take it you're on stock because you're stupid, even though you could bind these just fine there anyway.You literally cannot bind analog to digital with Dreamcast titles using RetroArch. This was already discussed, and you're a fucking idiot for just hopping in and suggesting solutions that literally do not work. Don't fucking try to reply or contribute unless you actually know what you're talking about, you absolute fucking idiot.
is anyone buying the r46s? I can't find any first hand info on it despite it releasing last month
>Dreamcast on Allwinner doesn't work at all>Dreamcast on Allwinner works flawlesslySo... which is it, you faggots?
>>11328223>Wanted a RP3/RP3+ but its fucking Start/Select/Volume placement>Wanted a RP4/RP4P which fixes the 3's shit Start/Select/Volume button placement with better specsThat's me. I just hope when they stop being retarded and go back to plastic they still use a chip with solid Linux support.>>11328238Alright, have fun being stupid.>>11328242You tell me.>>11313297
>>11328247No, you tell me.Can you assign the DreamCast analog stick to these chinkhelds' d-pads and have it actually fucking work... or not?Canny youy makey the plussy signy big button on left side of devicies do-do the character movements boo-boo?
>>11328192that vita in the pic literally has a glass on it but it hardly shows in some renders, so they assume you also couldn't render glass due to the 1000 hours in mspaint crude mockup.should've just asked them to not put glass on it :^)
>>11328223If it's just for the form factor, get the TSP anon
>>11328249Can't find any sticks on mine, maybe you can help?
>>11327508If you go to Settings, then start Retroarch from there. Then Settings menu in Retroarch > Input > Port 1 Controls > Left Analog ( set these to the D-pad Up, down etc.), then scroll back up to Save Controller Profile and save it.
>>11328189>Until one of you explains how to add roms and have them properly workThe DC chds from mame (software list chds) work directly on the RG35XXSP.Stick em in tf2 under roms/dreamcast/.You seriously couldn't work this out?
>>11328252I might actually consider it now. Can it do PS2/GameCube/Wii well for under $200?
>>11328260Don't spoonfeed the ungrateful spergs (again).
>>11328260Left Analog and Left Analog (Forced) literally do not work for DreamCast Roms manually added. That's the problem.Literally never had these issues with other devices, only the Anbernic Allwinner H7000 ones.
>>11328262Hey, maybe stop being a completely illiterate retard, especially using an example of a DreamCast title take takes both d-pad and analog stick inputs.THERE ARE. SPECIFIC TITLES. THAT REQUIRE. ANALOG.RETROARCH'S. FORCED ANALOG STICK INPUT OPTION. IS NOT. WORKING.
>>11328264
>>11328262>IT WORKS!>Literally shows the fucking pre-recorded footage that cycles while idling on the start menuYou're not this fucking retarded. Troll better. It literally says, "PRESS START" right fucking there. It's not even a game that require the analog stick.
Why would you ever think all DreamCast games would work on a device without an analog stick, kek
>>11328269I looked it up, and it doesn’t seem to work on stock for some reason.
>>11328254>"Can you assign analog sticks to a d-pad?">"Huh?? But there isn't an analog stick... only a d-pad?"Seriously, you third world illiterate?
>>11328293So I need to install cfw JUST to properly reassign the analog stick just for Dreamcast games that require an analog stick? Jesus fucking christ, this is so stupid when so many Dreamcast games just let you use the d-pad for movement.
>>11328298Never buy a retroarch-based device specifically for DreamCast then?
>>11328294Right, you're almost getting it. Gambare, ameri-kun.
>>11328298You wanted to play Sonic Adventure 2 on an RG35XX SP, didn't you? lul
>>11328235My bad, had you specified that it was to be snug into incarceration we could've recommended a RG Nano or something.
>>11328298Anbernic’s stock Linux os’es... While much better than before, still kinda suck
>>11328305Sonic Adventure 2 on an RG35XX SP is like trying to enjoy Ape Escape on the original RG35XX, or a Miyoo Mini Plus.
>>11328304Literally all emulators on RetroArch allow you to assign (either) analog sticks to the device's d-pad, you illiterate inbred. It just supposedly doesn't work with all DreamCast titles.
>>11328281Anon said none of them worked. Well that's not one of the provided roms. (It was the first one on my list). It will work after you muck about with the controls. Now how about in game pic related then? Another one not included. Now if anon had said "getting the analog joysticks to work with the Dreamcast games" I wouldn't have bothered but that wasn't what he said.
>>11328323>keeps using titles that specifically use d-pad inputs by default when peripherals aren't attachedYou are not this retarded, god fucking damn. Why would you ever want to ever be perceived as being this retarded?
>>11328323...You DO understand that RetroArch allows people to force games to use whatever inputs they want, right? Including using the d-pad for analog input? YOU. CAN. TELL. YOUR. HANDHELD. TO. MAKE. THE. GAME. THINK.. YOU. ARE. USING. AN. ANALOG. STICK. WHEN. YOU. ARE. ACTUALLY. USING. A. D-PAD.Holy fucking shit, why is this not getting through your fucking skull at all? You don't even fucking understand what the fucking issue even is and you're just trumpeting how terminally 'tarded you are at basic fucking reading comprehension.
>>11328326Why would I put games that need a joystick on a device that doesn't have one. FFS. Serves you right for being such a tight arse and buying a $60 chink hand held instead of paying $100 for one with joysticks.Get bent.
>>11328318There you go. Now you can continue to whine or solve that, which will it be?
>>11328337It's literally a guess whether Left Analog (Forced) works or not with each and every individual title, asshole. And it doesn't even work with the majority, just by chance many Dreamcast titles allow for d-pad controls. You're acting smug when you're more ignorant than everyone else in the discussion about it.

>>11328336The RG35XX SP is, all things considering, an upgrade from the R36S which has two sticksHad a blast playing Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS with the SP
>>11328264Do you really need it? It sounds like you just want a decent handheld with Vita form factor for cheap. TSP fills that niche perfectlyI'm all for emulating sixth gen and up but you guys make it sound like there is absolutely nothing else worth playing on these, then complain when you have to pay for a more powerful handheld. Handhelds exist outside of Retroid, Odin, and Deck
>>11328340How horrifying. Dropping the 18650 batteries sucks too.
>>11328350I gotta be honest, I am not going to be playing anything sub 32-bit on a widescreen device like this when I can already do better sub-32-bit emulation on what I already own in a form factor I like. This would just be for PSP/Vita/3DS/GameCube/Wii/PS2 emulation.
>>11328354>Separate buttons for dpad instead of just reusing the 2000’s dpad>Ditching the 18650 batteries>Right stick on topDios miyoo... It better do ps1 perfectly at the very least
>>11328349TBQH anon, I purchased the thing knowing full well it didn't have a joystick with the intent of only playing games that needed a d-pad. I also bought one for my 8yo nephew and he's having a blast with it.Yes, I have had to doctor a few games to get them running properly (PSP Final Fantasy 25th anniversary comes to mind to get the map screen to work), but most play "straight out of the box" and that was all I expected from a $US60 unit.With the plethora of devices currently on the market I'm going to sit on the fence until a decent linux unit with joysticks arrives that can play gc games without a hitch.
>>11328252I’d daily drive the TSP, if it weren’t for the fact that pressing A in the simplified menu (which also appears whenever you put the game to sleep) also presses A in-game, constantly accepting menu options or unpausing when I didn’t mean to. I’m shocked they haven’t fixed that by now.
>>11327001my hands are cramping looking at this. how would you use those joysticks? is it meant to be controlled with your nose?
Got the mini. It's kino

>>11328446It's yours?
How come some roms on the tsp just won't work? I'll run them and then it'll just take me back to the menu immediately after. Happened with snes and n64 roms. It's not the roms themselves, they're from cdromance

Might accidentally end up copping a deck on impulse today and not sure how to feel about it.Been on the fence for a bit but 6th gen and PC titles from that era have been living rent free in my mind for a while.So my question for deck owners: How is it for swapping SD cards? I don't have a lot of big SD cards, only 128GB models. Is there any jank if you use things like emudeck or will I have to find some utility?
>>11329012consoom
Does the RP5 even have better performance that the 4? I like the OLED but honestly the glass front makes me want to just get the 4
Is the RG Cube dpad like a xbox series dpad? The arc is good for fighting games but for anything else it feels awkward and i love the xbox dpad
>>11329012Just get a steam deck
>>11328880Not sure, but the $22 GB300 and the SF2000 certainly can
>>11329065It is barely more powerful and not even available until next yearIf you want something for Christmas just go with the 4/P or something that is already out
>>11328252I'm thinking of grabbing a TSP as a PSP player. I have an RG556 but it's too big and bulky for me. the TSP looks just right.
how do u do fellow kidz??
>>11329065Seems like middle ground cope, slightly better than 4P but worse than base Odin 2.

>>11329187odin 2 has d-pad in wrong location thoever.
>>113270018 months later and the odin 2 pro still slaps as the king. Massive improvements over the og odin pro. Let my friend borrow my dusty steam deck with family sharing enabled. He oddly seemed to be way too excited to play a steam deck when he has ps5 at home. Really wish someone would attempt to make an og xbox emulator for Android. Just don't have time couch play my og xbox due to my hectic waggie cuck schedule. Any other odin 2 chads and homies here. What yah playing? Pic related was big mutha truckers 2 for ps2.
>>11329213>He oddly seemed to be way too excited to play a steam deck when he has ps5 at homeanon the ps5 has no games.
>>11329172Very nice, anon. Reminds me of the one my cousin had growing up
>>11329215Seriously tho 100%, he literally only plays ps4 games, free to play multiplayer online slop or watches series and movies on various streaming services on his ps5 despite still having his ps4 pro in the living room. It's amazing how sony fucked up by over blowing their budgets and releasing their games on pc.
>>11329152I love my TSP for PSP, mostly play rpgs on it but looks good, screen isn't OLED like the vita but it's still very nice, great ergos, great weight and good standby.Vita is the perfect handheld to imitate to such a level.>>11329036Mayhaps. To offset my spurious consumption I will fund it by recycling some old tech and games I don't play/use instead of going to landfill.>>11329112Yeah, I'm pretty certain it's happening. Not today but tomorrow; complications in the process and all.Felt alright, wasn't too heavy or too big, screen looked to be a good size too but I'll see how it is in action at home first, was worried it would be too big or chonky.I still think it was a mistake for Valve to not sell it in stores too. I know maybe younger people may not get it idk but demo units are good at letting you have a little try. You can go to a department/electronics store and try a camera, you see a TV before you buy it, games consoles used to be the same, they were setup at booths in games/toy stores.What the fuck were they thinking, I can go out and check out something like the ally that doesn't suit me but not the deck? I understood it when it first launched, when it wasn't a success and there were supply issues but it's weird now.
>>11329172Show TV attachment or get out!
>>11327837Yes it’s the easiest place to buy them
>>11329257>I love my TSP for PSP, mostly play rpgs on it but looks good, screen isn't OLED like the vita but it's still very nice, great ergos, great weight and good standby.You're really selling it to me. Honestly I love my RG556 but I realized I don't care for GC/PS2 emulation on a handheld, and the wide screen makes it that pretty much PSP is the only thing I can play on it. I thought I'd find some decent android games but didn't have all that much luck either.
I love my psp but I hate playing psx games on it. Everything is uber compressed and looks like pixilated garbage, the sound is wrong, games like Vagrant Story run too slow and control like ass.
>>11327001It's good to know the miyoo will be out two years after it was announced.
Hahahahahahha
>>11329524so don't play psx gams on your psp
>>11329582If I knew this color way was guaranteed I would purchase it today

>>11327001how the fuck do you use those joysticks
>>11328805I really don't know how else to transfer. SUCKS.
>>11329582They deserve it for ordering that ugly ass color to being with
>>11329582I don't get how this even happens. Based on their shipping schedule, they're making one color at a time. Did no one on the production line up to when it got put in a box notice the color was off?

>>11329221There's a reason why the PS4 and the Xbox One are still around, the only thing there really is to be excited with the next gen are movie games to show off muh graphix. Realistically the only thing there is to be excited about are remakes of old games, and if you can just emulate them then there goes that.

>>11330930why
>>11330927Its always weird how they tried to deny being part of the same company for the longest time.
>>11330935It's literally just Chris denying it as far as I can tell. He made that claim back in the RP3 (non-Plus) days way before he became their western social media janny. He was super butthurt towards the Odin 1 at the time and was basically trying to argue how much better Retroid is as a company vs Ayn (they were fucking up hard with Odin Lite orders at the time iirc). I think he's just too proud to admit he was wrong.
>GBA easier to emulate than SNES>Dreamcast MUCH easier to emulate than Saturn>DS and PSP easier to emulate than N64
>>11330143
Feels like I should just save $35 and get the RP4 Pro than wait around for the RP5 at this point. Snapdragon is fine but all that amounts to is better Switch emulation potential on my end. Are they not bothering with trying Batocera on the RP4 Pro?
>>11330927So why don't they scrap the glass front and refocus efforts on making the perfect daily driver, clamcell under the hard limit price of $240?
>>11331019Huh I thought smes ran well on everything
N97 minipc + controller + screen + soldering iron + glue + battery + hdmi converter to 40pin conector + plastic food container(Tupper if U want) + skills......... why you want an andorid hanheld? when you can play all those PC games and emulated games, even the n100 does better than this things...
>>11331097Weaker chips always played gba better than snes. Look at the v90 or mips older mips powered handhelds like the dingoo or rs97
>>11331110>Let's make a portable PC using a regular PC!!!>And add a bunch of things to make it less portable!!!Not even Nintendo was that stupid when they thought the Virtual Boy was a good idea. At least they added a stand.
>>11331089Retroid is way too prideful (Stupid) to just use laptop style hinges for clamshells. They want to use their own so it’s harder for users to repair. They did they same thing with the 3/3+’s battery connector so it wouldn’t be a plug in plug out situation when if shit itself.>>11331110>N100I heard powkiddy was interest in making an n100 chinkheld, but they pussied out at the last second
>>11331097SNES is sluggish on cheaper devices, especially super fx titles like yoshi's island which stutter to a crawl........however, on the same devices, the GBA ports of stuff like yoshi's island and doom run at 100% speed perfectlyemulation running well depends on the skill of the emulator devs much more than the power of the original hardware
wow colorful
Should I pull the trigger on the RG28XX or is there something better that was announced/coming soon?
Why has nobody told me before about the muOS on anbernegro devices. It's a game changer. It works.Also contrary to your advice I ordered the Powkiddy RGB10X for 42 euro shipped.I understand the chip should be inferior to the Nigg xx plus. We'll see if it PSP's. PS1 should be fine, right?The gameboy form factor was a mistake for an adult hands. Will have to gift it.
>>11331137I bet Anbernic will refresh this shit monthly all over again next year, but if you don't need wifi and (device ruining) sticks, go ahead.>>11331250Are you the spoonfeed ignoring sperg from yesterday? We did. PS1 is fine on reARMed, performance is about equal actually.
>>11331273>Are you the spoonfeed ignoring sperg from yesterday?Jesus Christ, no. WTF?>PS1 is fine on reARMedallright
>>11327001I want to get a good handheld on the cheaper side that will last awhile. I bought the miyoo mini+ but I returned it because it was too small to play for longer than an hour. Any recommendations?
>>11331128Looks nice.
>>11329213You're not welcome here, boy
>>11331303The Cummy Fart Box 16XXGL
>>11331089> refocus efforts on making the perfect daily driverBecause it hurts sales in the long term.Having a perfect build for its price point means all other builds that do not meet it (not just yours, everyone else's) HAVE to drop prices or they won't sell period.This will also upset everyone else, starting a race to the bottom: they will copy your design, and try and optimize/cheap out on it to undercut you, until a product that meets 90~95% of the capabilities of the original "perfect daily driver" is released at a fraction of its price, and becomes the new "floor" by which all other newly released shithelds at this discounted price are measured - see the R36S and SF2000. This is good for users but bad for profits in the short term - this process of "opshittimization" also costs time and money, and companies are lazy to do it unless pressured. The process that pressured at least the R36S was the RGB20S, which while not perfect by any objective measure, tiktok retards made it look like it was.

>>11331123A good thing to be on the lookout with SNES titles and emulation are effects like fog. On weaker devices when such effects appear the frame rate tanks to half.
>>11331568Glass panels i get why someone would like, I guess, but do people really like the fucking LED analog sticks?
>>11331586Only the Chinese do, they like to put lights on everything.
RG Cube XX - 60$ for early birdsyup, im gonna do it.
>>11331612dont buy it if you dont already own a H700 device
>>11331617nta but what form factor doesn't already have an anbernog version that people would remotely consider buying? DS? wristwatch? atari lynx? doug tiger electronics?
>>11331612Does it even have the touchscreen? What's the point of buying a cube over the cheaper and more powerful R36S Pro?
>>11331623i always thought cube looked like gizmondo
>>11329582still reminds me of the wii u controller
>>11331617>dont buy it if you dont already own a H700 deviceI don't own H700 device, then I should buy one I guess? I just sold my miyoo mini plus cuz it was too small and vertical, Cube looks cool.
>>11331636if you already own a H700 you already sold your soul so it's ok to buy another one
>>11331638I don't it will by my first H700. Im just gonna play pokemon so fuck my ass baby.

>>11331586I've set my TSP stick LEDs to cpu frequency. If you use a proper governor (instead of the "lol max speed all the time" default one) it's a decent indicator of which games are more taxing on the system.

So I was on the verge of getting the RG40XX but I hear people saying the dpad is shitty. What is the best $50-75 dollar handheld that has a good dpad and buttons for platformers?
>>11331898RG Arc can be had within that range during sales. Trimui Smart Pro can always be found cheap. Cube XX will probably get p cheap down the road.

I'm looking to buy a handheld, I dont know much I've always played on PC, I'm tending towards the new 3ds xl to then hack it to have all the games i want, but is there any better options that I'm not aware of?
>>11332052he clearly shits on this one though
>>11331874>Said to his contact at Anbernic that he just wanted an upgraded version of the Powkiddy RGB30>Anbernic STILL drops the ball
>>11332136It costs $5 more and has near RK3326 performance, what's the problem here?
>>11332140You mean rk3566 performance. My only issue is the down firing speakers and the boring colors.
>>11332145H700 is not near RK3566 performance
>>11332153It's the exact same real world performance.
>>11332157No.
>>11332160Yeah.
>>11332168This isn't /r/SBCGaming yet, that bullshit doesn't fly here. Go back.
>>11332174Shut the fuck up retard.
>>11332181Enjoy your H700 nigger.
>>11331898What do you mean? I've heard its either a really good d-pad and/or the same dpad as the rg35xx plus
>>11332140From what Russ is saying, he's disappointed with how N64 games struggle to play at full speed, with stuttering. Using the default settings give better performance but tons of visual artifacts. He also dislikes how the device doesn't have a touch screen for DS games. Device cant even use native Pico 8 games.
>>11332223> He also dislikes how the device doesn't have a touch screen for DS games.Fucking how? Isn’t it literally just the screen from the RG Cube?
>>11332229I'm guessing that the touch screen component wasn't included, like with the RGB30 and the RGB20SX in order to help save on costs. Also, Anbernic's quality control is still a massive issue even after all this time for him.
>>11332239>paying more for gizmondo and sub-n64pass
>>11332223Oh, NOW he admits it doesn't run N64. Must mean they're about to change chips.
>>11332239I dont think they do touch screen controls on any linux only devices
>>11332303s-shut up, you still have another few months of H700helds to buy
>>11332306I thought Anbernic said that the RG40XX was the last handheld that would use the H700.
>>11332308not until H700 n-gage and H700 zodiac are released
>>11331612I'm tempted since everyone was gushing over the rgb30 for its square screen. This seems like it'd be better.
>>11332304lol powkiddy could release a touch version of rgb30 since it runs gammaos now
>>11332314>betteryou know what, just buy it
>>11332298there's one more feature you're getting but ill hold off until more ppl buy it (if you know please dont say it)
Anyone tried mgs peace walker on the TSP? I'm on the second tank battle and it's chugging a lot and going to 15fps frequently. Wondering if I should just play on ps3 instead.
>>11332391Everything less performant than a 2S is a PS1-down machine don't get memed otherwise.
>>11332391No offense bro, but you can buy a PSP for the same price as a TSP

>>11332461tsp really is contender for best among ps1-downhelds DOUGH.
>>11332461It's fine. Its worse than a 3566 for psp, but you should be able to tell from videos. The sticks are SUPER shit though
>>11332486Not with that crappy UI
My Nephews recent play list on the DS I gave him 4 years ago with literally every game on it. I feel.... disappointed? Why? He didn't know that hitting the green arrow gives him access to the rest of the games. He also believes you need the stylus for it to work.
>>11332654 (you)Forgot context. Those games are all the ones I showed him 4 years ago when I gave it to him
>>11332668>Super Princess Peach>Kirby>YoshiHe thinks you're a faggot, correctly so.

>>11332778Don't play any of that slop.
>>11327679No, reading doesn't degrade.
playing Soul Cal on the RGX SP
I like pokemon, mario kart, but for the rest idk shit about retro games and I'm not a fan of Japanese stuff, I'd like to be able to play minecraft, terraria, stardew valley, gta San Andreas that kind of stuff, what handheld would be the best?maybe theres games I like in the retro ones I just dont even know that they exist
>>11327223What shader is that?
>>11333047Deck can play everything on you list with some jaggery pokery
>>11332778If you want a better experience and you don't want to upgrade to a more powerful Android device, maybe consider the PS3 version. That's getting into what is technically not-/vr/ territory, but it'll run at a proper 60fps and you'll get native second stick support for camera. Not that MGSPW ran terribly well even on the PSP though.
>>11332654>Super princess peach>KirbitchHe seems basedo pretendo>>11332710>Doesn't reply directly>All tendieslop from that list is probably better than his 6th gen slop>Likes shittblenauts>Third world reading comprehensionKwab! Bet you own a vertislop too tho.
>>11332520All linux chinkhelds that dont use gmenux have shit looking ui. Especially arkos and minui
>>11333181>muh image containing a Soijak a chudjak, and a poorly photoshopped Gigachad edit is all I have for an argument in favor of the ""KING OF HANDHELDS""Weak sauce, fuckhead.
>>11333152I know but I was looking for something less expensive and smaller bc I'm looking to brind it on outings and use it while locked in my bivy bag due to shit weather the retroid pocket pro 4 seems like a good compromise but I dont know shit about the games used in the consoles it can emulate, is it powerful enough to play San Andreas, can it run terraria or stardew valley of factorio? both if it can emulate whatever it needs to and if its powerful enough
>>11333454RP4 Pro can tackle PS2 well and Stardew Valley even better. It’s basically the best combo of power + price. Don’t bother with the 5 or any expensive console.
So what I have determined is the RG35xx/40xx is more powerful but the Miyoo mini plus has a better dpad. If I want to play pre-ps1 platformers I should get the Miyoo right?
>>11333481why not go for the a30?
>>11333475thanks, what's a good price for it?I've found some new condition ones on Ebay for 200/220 euros, they're as new seeing from the pics, and buying from the official site means getting ass raped by customs applying 22% vat on your 200 dollars + shipping + duties (yes vat is applied on topic duties too) order so it's not a bad price imo
>>11333519I call that a win. It may go down further once the 5 is widespread, but you might as well grab it now.
>>11333454>San AndreasNative port>>>11333454>terrariaYes, but I'm not surehow updated it is. Minecraft is also on mobile either wirh the pocket version or java launchers.>stardew valleyYes and unlike portmaster, smapi works>factorioSurprisingly not but the ek on switch version MIGHT play well. I'll look up a vid later
Retroid Pocket 5 will SAVE hhg
>>11333608thanks, so I've got to nerd out and thinker with it to get shit on it?are the pre made libraries with all that already loaded? or a site that lets me pick what I want and download the pre made library?
>>11333394coal
>>11333610It probably will. Xbox on linux and wine will be ludo.>>11333615You mean like rompacks for ports? Not really. You just have to know what you want to play and use good sites like pdalife to install rhe apk/obb if there.
Got muOS on my RG35XXSP, anyone else have and/or fix the issue where menu music keeps playing after clicking on a game? Admittedly it's more of a feature than an issue in games where I can turn music off and keep sound effects on, but still.
>>11333615Nta but you can look up videos of chinkhelds playing games from specific consoles, plus RP4P can do any android game iirc and you can map buttons to press certain parts of the screen if the game doesn't detect a gameplay (like MMX Dive).
I wonder when AYN is going to bite the bullet and talk about the price tag for the Odin Portal. Base Odin 2 is selling for $300 retail, and its competitor in the form of the Ayaneo Pocket EVO is selling its base unit at $389. And since their device also has a glass front and a 7" high refresh rate OLED panel, it wont be cheap either.
>>11333653*a gamepad Although most chinkhelds don't detect gameplay since most people tinker with theirs to make sure it works then buy the next one.
>>11327130I recommend the steam deck. The OLED has a bit better battery life than the LCD. I've had the 256gb LCD model for years now and I use it all the time for emulating and PC gaming. It's comically huge though.
>>11327154>require waggleDang, if only Dolphin let you map movements to buttons and analog sticks...oh wait except it does actually do that already. Come on anon, step it up a little.
>>11328005>almost perfectlyLuv me 4 Pro but I have to say it won't do it all, still never got Nightshade on PS2 to play at a playable framerate.
>>11333667>It's comically huge though.You can literally put it in your pants pocket.
I'm thinking of getting my first handheld. Would an RP2S be too powerful for playing up to PS1 and N64?
>>11333736It mostly goes up to DC and N64, maybe some Saturn. It's not "too powerful" unless you only want like GBA and below.
>>11331687 >Do you have the script around?Unfortunately, there's no global script to set cpufreq to ondemand (and tell games to use it). You need to manually edit every one (in some cases add them to the folder) in the Emus section. And edit some of the launch.sh scripts as well, some don't look for the cpufreq script by default. There's also a github around with info about scaling governors for the TSP, and how they function. I think some anon posted a link in one of the older threads.
>>11332518>The sticks are SUPER shit though Which is ironic, since they're pretty much the same sticks as on the Vita 2000. They do have dodgy input polling out of the box, though; there's a mod which installs a polling rate change tool in system options, seems to make them register fine inputs better.
>>11333784Vita 2k used differnet sticks than 1k? That might have been why I was so surprised. The 1k's sticks aren't the best, but the smart pro's feel worse than a slider. Because how recessed they are, they even have worse rang ethan sliders.
can someone help me make general 'tiers' of emulation difficulty? Everything in the same tier should be equally hard to runSo far I have>1 gb/gbc/nes/ms>2 genesis, snes, GBA>3 DS, PS1>4 PSP, Dreamcast, N64>5 saturn, gamecube(?)>6 PS2?
>>11333754Thanks. Is the Metal Version worth it?
>>11333850No offense but I don't see it catching on, people just refer to console gens or specific systems as an upper limit of a chinkheld. Anyway I'd put Wii and low end Switch in 6, maybe 3DS in 5.>>11333853Don't know but it might cool down faster in moderate/cool environments compared to the plastic one. PS1 for over an hour will start to heat it up and it will happen faster on more taxing systems or when connected to tv, you can check its temp with your finger under the left trigger. When it gets uncomfortably warm, put it to sleep and set it aside somewhere relatively open to air out.
>>11333110https://github.com/Jeltr0n/Retro-Overlays
>>11333886yeah but we need to quantify what's harder to emulateI just noticed certain groupings are equal
>>11333896But we pretty much already know and you can tell through context when someone says the most of what a 'held can do.
I just want everyone to know that on 4:3 handhelds I stretch Gameboy and Gameboy Advance emulators to fill the screen.
First day with the deck went well enough, helped that I already had backups of most games so installing was alright but still took a while.Tried some 6th gen stuff on it and it wasn't too small, wasn't too big but GBA was pushing it a bit.I have one gripe so far, if you're online on one device like your PC and in game, it won't let you launch a steam title, so Denuvo'd games need a first run, games with online launchers are a no go too but emu and other games will still work.Needing to go to offline mode is kinda shit and the above are still issues. Seen some shills defending it to the death which was weird, more cringe than the usual valve haters. There's a couple other minor things. I definitely have the vanilla deck experience since I don't have a dock yet.One USB C port is shit, I had to charge the device at the same time as setting up so it was that or use the keyboard so I could enable SSH and install a remote desktop client. The onscreen keyboard is jank as fuck, I used fractional scaling to get to 125%, sensible enough yeah, go to use the onscreen keyboard and that's scaled beyond the device. Nice, had to reboot.Not being able to suspend & download in background makes sense because it IS just a PC, not a console/custom OS/chipset, it's going into standby, but like, they could had like two modes where you hold to go into standby and a low power, screen off mode so it can finish downloads, the solution is to go into desktop mode, set a timer for 1 min inactivity then reboot back into game mode after, that's terrible and you're relying entirely on linux to not boost clock speeds during the time.The battery system seems okay, or at least with a plugin, you can manually set the charge mode, charge cutoff etc so you should be able to use it docked 24/7 with little impact on it long term. I imagine there will be a command I can use to set it manually, will look into that later.Tomorrow I'm going to pirate an old game I own on steam.
>>11333823>Vita 2k used differnet sticks than 1k? Very few people are aware of this unless they've actually dissected the two versions side by side, but the 1k had Hall sticks, while the 2k's are standard pots. That's why they're not interchangeable, 1k sticks have 6 datalines, while 2k ones only have 4.

Odin 2 Portal prices revealed. No word on specs though.
>>11334621What's the consensus on base,pro and max? Is base good enough?
>>11334621Pocket Evo bros???
>>11334632From what I hear people say, the Base is good enough in nearly all situations but Switch emulation. Apparently there's some games that need more than 8GB of RAM, but that's it. For PS2 and GC that should be way more than enough.
>>11334639If you're going to use winlator or other emu, the extra ram could help.
>>11334635Pocket EVO bros get to have an 8800mAH battery, Odin Portal bros are currently forced to make due with a 6600mAH battery. At least these are the reported specs at least, which seem worse than the base Odin 2 in some ways.
>>11334632for /vr/ purposes theres utterly no reason for more than 8gb of ram.
>>11334660Yikes.

>>11330219>>11331128Oh I asked to know if the pic you posted was yours. Sorry for responding late, I think I had a stroke.Could you test the koko-aio shaders in the bezel folder? Mainly the tv-aperturegrille.slangp with or without bloom (you can turn off the curvature and ambient light in its parameters), to see if the oled screen causes the same optical illusion as the ips one (on a sidescroller, if you focus on scrolling objects you can perceive some scrolling vertical lines).Don't mind me if I don't respond, I think I'll fucking die.
>>11334891It's great for vertical arcade games, and still alright at worst for horizontal ones.

The R36S screen absolutely mogs the other cheaphelds it's insane

>>11335216What gayme?
Day 456 without GarlicOS on RG35XX Plus
>>11334939Yep, specwise its basically like for like with the other Odin 2 models but with a 7" 120hz OLED panel. Its like how outside of a smaller battery/form factor and a 5.5" MiniLED screen, the Odin 2 Mini is basically identical to the other existing Odin 2s. As for selling it, I guess that depends on whether you really want OLED or if the regular screen just doesn't work for you.
>>11334621>menu button in wrong place
>>11335613the Mini has a 5" MiniLED screen, not 5.5". RP5 has a 5.5" screen with the device otherwise being the same size, so maybe that's why you're confused.
>>11335030It's going to be 452g now instead of 415g. I get more people are going to care about battery over weight when forced to choose between the two, but it's kinda sad imo. The weight disparity between it and the Pocket Evo at 478g was pretty notable when it was going to be 415g.
>>11335813Huh, I thought it was 5.5". Yeah, I was probably mixing it up with the RP5.
>>11335813You telling me that the rp5 has a better screen for the same size as the odin2mini, for half the price. And the portal makes the mini obsolete just months after release. No one wanted the miniled screen. mini chuds keep losing.
>>11336073miniled has flaws but it can at least do inky black contrast ratios without burn in
I want to get a new 3ds xl as a one stop shop for GB/C/A emulation, ds, and 3ds games. Maybe even some Snes or something too. Should I buy a Solgaleo and Lunala new 3ds xl? Or should I buy the Fire Emblem Fates edition?The Pokémon edition is a bit cheaper. The FE edition is a bit more unique, but I'm worried that the white interior will be distracting while playing.Also... I don't know if I should give up on the whole tn/ips thing or not.
can you put new retroarch cores onto an ambernic rg28xx?
>>11336101i have a white new xl and i never notice it much. Same for my white regular new.
>>11336101I don't think emulation of GBA and below are very good on 3ds. Just feels a bit cumbersome.I gave up on the ips displays, when I was getting my used new 3ds xl, I had a choice between an ips top screen, or tn but a better condition and color I like. I went with the tn. You're not gonna look at the screen from the side, ever. People claim it's more vibrant but like no one cares about ips on any other device. It's just slightly better.I would go for the Fire emblem. I think it looks cooler. I don't think the white would be a bother, and it has a unique look.
Is the plastic shell on the RP5/Mini matte?
So has this little niche crashed? There's no form factors left to make and this thread is slow nowadays.
>>11336147DS form factor but yeah it’s been a little slower this past thread, maybe even past two threads. I expected more handhelds to be announced for christmas time though
>>11336149>DS form factorI doubt anyone would buy that over the SP that's out now.
>>11336162I thinks it’s appealing because of how many people enjoy GB/GBA games. Think about it, it’s the next step in that family of games but playing DS/DSi games just fucking suck on anything at all. There is not good way to enjoy them. There are a plethora of games waiting to be emulated. The only issue is finding a use for the two screens with anything else.
>>11332654Current generation of youth are too removed from how tech works to understand a file system
>>11336147There's many form factors left, many input methods left to fix, cover.There's issues surrounding operating systems, features, battery life, cpu/apu/soc and even standby.The only way this niche crashes is if a company comes out tomorrow with covering every form factor with a range of screens from 2.5" to 8" in every aspect ratio, clamshell, vertical, horislop etc, every model would need to have an ARM/X86 variant, perfect operating systems available too, proper battery options for each model and variants based on symmetrical/asymmetric etc too. Add in modifiers for sticks/no sticks models, all of them need hall effect sensors, need models with analogue triggers, models with digital, variants for deep and shallow pulls.Also you've then gotta deal with the difference between panels,.This hobby and niche only dies if you accept what I like and what I like only and then a company develops that handheld in 3 variants to cover every use case without any need for updating for around 10 years. 10 years to allow for different expressiveness in input methods and gains on PPW & performance. If gaming dies today, this generation, we don't release any new platforms or games next year, we can have a 10, 15 & 20 year refresh on the handheld that I like.Consider ereaders, eink has stagnated due to licensing costs, manufacturers are still releasing gimped devices that are barely an upgrade over 2006. The same is true for handhelds, in many ways we've still yet to improve upon the dingoo a320.
>>11336185It's hardly an issue.>make good DS clone>4:3 screen>pixel perfect screens/integer scaled displays>don't use glue made from horses who had jaundice to secure the screen>small model>big model>can choose display and disable one screen entirely for non DS contentb-b-buh muh 3dsMake a good 2ds clone, 2x 16:9 displays or 1x16:9 1x4:3 and do the same as above. That's it, absolutely nothing wrong with having a separate device to play a type of game. The issue is that designers are both lazy & retarded, nobody will make a bespoke DS/2DS clone. It's theoretically capable to have a nice 4:3 higher res screen for DS too, x2 is 384px, 576p, 768 & 960 are all right there for good integer scaling but they wanna use 320x240 & 640x480 junk 4:3 screens since it's all recycled garbage. The absolute best hope you'd have for those lazy chinks sourcing a 2nd hand screen would be if there's a nice 4-5" 1024x768 screen out there.The larger issue is with the industry, beyond the lazy chinks designing these handhelds from surplus tv remotes, the way we've moved towards standardisation with display tech & manufacturing.Ideally you are a man, a man with a plan and you wanna do a DSi XL clone, you can and will spring for a custom display, maybe order some 4 & 5" IPS/OLED panels. There's an elephant in the room, in this world, reality. You've gotta now source a resistive digitiser and engineer it to work with your bespoke screen, that's certainly not happening. In the fantasy world where someone is going to manufacture bespoke displays, they are now engineering around this 5" resistive screen.Okay. I lied it is an issue. I blame Nintendo and capitalism
>>11336147>There's no form factors left to makeOh come the fuck on now. The mid to high power perfect clamcell has not yet been mayde. There's a hugh gap in the market.
>>11336147not until we can get $40 handhelds that can play ps2 at 2x full speed
>Simple newfag questionsWhat is the best balance of power + price + form + turnkey in a unit for a guy that just cares about DC emulation?Sounds like plenty of these can play DC games just fine out of the box, but if that’s the max I care about, which is the best?Assuming something with at least two sticks is the smart play.
>>11336424Retroid Pocket 2S
>>11336113I don't know but if what you have works then maybe you're better off leaving it as is
>>11336147Next up is the race for the perfect cheap piece of shit Windows handheld for $200 to play PSX and indie shit
>>11336185>just fucking suck on anything at allOnly if you're playing gimmicky garbage, most DS and 3DS games are just fine on one screen because a lot of devs didn't care about shoving in pointless mechanics to justify both screens.
>>11336273>oh man it's so easy all you ahve to do is jump through all these hoops and make it magically work and lazy chinks can't even do that much/v/ tier post my friend. The simple fact is that we would have more DS clones if there was a bigger market for it.
>>11336424Retroid Pocket 2S, RG405M, Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, or Retroid Pocket 5 Mini. Either of the first two would be all you need, 4P or 5M would be for when you inevitably feel like you need more. Don't feel dissuaded by the 16:9 screen if you end up wanting a device with one, you get used to playing 4:3 games on one after a while if you go that route but if there are truly no widescreen games that interest you then it's probably not worth it.
Which chinkheld did you buy solely for the novelty without caring too much about the function?
>>11336450>The simple fact is that we would have more DS clones if there was a bigger market for it.Autism tier post desu
>>11336446That'll probably never happen. The profit margins are too small to profit from compared to Android or any cheap linux handheld, there's a reason why companies like GPD and Ayaneo cater to the high end so much instead. And even if the margins eventually become profitable enough, you'll still get shittier brands like Anbernic still trying to sell their Win600 for $300 USD with the ancient specs that it has, because they know there's a niche demand and can get away with it.AYN could have possibly made it happen with their Loki Zero, but they just gave up entirely and seemingly killed off the entire Loki brand. The only company willing to dabble into "budget" Windows Handhelds is Ayaneo, and that comes in the form of the Next Lite at either 16gb of RAM + a 4500U for $300, or the Air Plus with 8GB of RAM + a 7320U for $269, both with only 128gb of internal storage. At that point you'd just want to dabble into the used Windows handheld market on ebay if you want something more capable.And even if you get a cheap Windows handheld, you'll want to install a custom Linux distro almost immediately. There's zero benefit to using Windows on a portable device.

Already have an RG353P I'm perfectly happy with, but near me some private sellers have an RGB30 and an RS36 for sale, 75 and 50€ respectively, one at my doorstep and the other one a train ride away.Would you guys recommend getting a "backup" system? My RG has frozen on me a couple times randomly, plus has refused to turn on a few times (though I suspect that was due to me using a second charger since it hasn't happened after I started exclusively using the one charger).None of them can really do N64/Dreamcast though, right? I was hoping for a Dreamcast capable without breaking the bank but I might just have to get an Odin on Christmas.
Hello, dear Anon How is gaming doing?
>>11336791RK3566 devices like RGB30 can do DC if only just barely iirc. Like it's playable but is one of the fastest systems to heat up the device so you can only play like 20 minutes at a time. The lowest end device I would entrust DC to is RP2S but if you're getting an Odin anyway just go with that. Unless you're waiting on a paycheck you may as well just bite the bullet and call it an early christmas present to yourself.
>>11336273who would make one now when a used DS is 100 bucks at most and flashcarts are 10? it's like being a hipster retard who's into tapes, and buying a new trash player at urban outfitters made by chinks looking to flip a quick buck, over getting a 30 year old sony player that's old, but was far better engineered, and sold for 3 times the price when it was new.
>>11336791Right, RGB30 runs the same chip as yours but with only 1GB RAM, R36S is even slower, neither are worth it. You definitely don't need to spend Odin money for DC, but that's up to you.
>>11336804going well, my new china shit handheld (retroid 2S) can play weird esoteric RPGs I want to play without issues, I only wish I could embed kanji scanning to speed up my looking up of words I don't know.
>>11334425reddit is that way -->

>>11336907>weird esoteric RPGsLike what? And how often do you need to look up words? I find old games to be written at a middle school level at most and much easier than other weeb media to read.
Is the RG405M worth upgrading to from my RG353V?
>>11336907This probably won't work on a handheld very well but in a browser you can get a google lens screenshot addon, and in google lens there's a built in translate function.

>>11336960I'm the anon who was looking for something for low power GC and ps2 games a thread or two ago. Unlimited SaGa and Crystal Chronicles were two that I started up recently. My vocab is very small so I'm still looking stuff up. CC isn't too weird, but for esoteric games I don't think there's a more unusual RPG than unlimited, except maybe WildCard (which I also have a save file on but haven't gone back to in a while). That one, the bigger challenge is just reading the characters, they are hard as hell to see on tiny wonderswan rendering. my only complaint so far has been that the pocket 2s keeps crashing while I run dobumori e+ and I'm unsure of why. Also that dolphin defaults L and R to the digital shoulders despite there being analog shoulders. Otherwise it's breddy good. I'm impressed how much emu handhelds have done since the PSP, which speaks to how long it's been since I've looked at them, hence a good deal of my impression. I only hope that it doesn't kill itself in six months.

I really liked Azure Dreams because there is a clear gameplay loop of going around the town that is text heavy and exploring the dungeon that is very light on text. The Fire Emblem games are kind of similar but replaying stages slows down your reading instead of making you read more by doing another lap of the town like Azure Dreams. Tear Ring Saga is the only game I ever just gave up on because the vocabulary was crazy. I had already played all the GBA and the Gamecube Fire Emblem games at that point so I had a solid base too. I'll go back to it sometime.
>>11337085from what I can tell, miyoo is super cheap, and ambernic is similar but different. Probably cheaper overall as well. Can't forget that money is a big factor for some
>>11337115different things for different people. aside from dungeon crawls and weird shit i don't care for rpga. they're good language data sources though. azure dreams sounds interesting, I'll check it out.
>>11336957Powkiddy's x18s successor is still being worked on. They're just waiting for a chip that's cheaper but offers around the same performance as the t820.
Lain Sneed?
>>11337041Wait really? Why were all consoles just 4:3?
I played a game. Super Mario Land. I made it up to 3-1 and died.
>>11337082>Wanting to carry one device that plays them all instead of lugging around several systemsYeah people are weird
Reminder that the more 'elds you split your use cases among, the less games you will actually play.
>>11336738>Linux requires fixes for every little thing you try to do because it doesn't work half the timeThis isn't true, but you seem too stupid to use Linux anyway. Stick with Windows.
>>11337215because most crt's back in the day were 4:3. believe it or not, you were playing on a stretched image to begin with.
>>11336738>Linux requires fixes for every little thing you try to do because it doesn't work half the time.I'm using Steamfork on an Ayaneo 5560U and it works better than Windows. Not only does it work great as a "consolized" gaming experience as its inspired by SteamOS/BPM; games launch properly in full screen, and games can also run better due to using the Vulkan API. It arguably has better battery life too than it does with Windows.
>>11337318I meant to say why weren't they all just outputting 4:3?
>>11336896>it's like being a hipster retard who's into tapes, and buying a new trash player at urban outfitters made by chinks looking to flip a quick buck, over getting a 30 year old sony player that's old, but was far better engineered, and sold for 3 times the price when it was new.Unironically this is you guys already, so...
>>11336974Relatively, but it's the kind of upgrade where you'll feel you need more not long after. Something to keep in mind that no one told me is that it's the same resolution as a 3.5 inch display just stretched diagonally, so the screen is bigger but so are the pixels.
>>11337076>low power GC and ps2 gamesTry Megaman X Command Mission (GC), Soul Nomad, and PS2 Final Fantasy and Kingdom Hearts games. You'd think those FF and KH games would be too much but for whatever reason FFX and KH1 worked great for me.
>>11336896>who would make one now when a used DS is 100 bucks at most and flashcarts are 10nta but a dual screen DS clone with a snapdragon chip could play DS, 3DS, and up through GC/PS2/Wii. The second screen, when not playing a console that requires two screens, could play youtube, spotify, etc. It's not a bad idea, and if they could keep the price below $300, people would be gushing from all holes about it on here.
>>11337564>The second screen, when not playing a console that requires two screens, could play youtube, spotify, etc. IThat is a retarded idea, perfect for the brain damaged youth who are unable to focus on a single thing or game. Let them have their digital slop to keep the endorphins flowing, keeping them from realizing how empty and pitiful their lives are.
>>11337575>Let them have their digital slop to keep the endorphins flowing, keeping them from realizing how empty and pitiful their lives are
>>11337564I'm not confident that it would be that cheap, like under the $300 mark unless they really cut corners with the screens and chips used. But it could be novel, especially if you could use the second screen to pull up guides.
>>11337041it's 720x720, it does all that with integer scaling with and without override, and 3x gba utilizing the entire width. and it's 4", not 3.5 or 3.7" manlet cope
>>11337564It already exists, but it costs $800 (OR more)
>>11337602God, a device like the Flip but with Android's ARM architecture instead of x86 would be perfect.
>>11337602right. I'm saying the flip but cheaper would sell like hotcakes. Nobody needs it to run PS3, which is the primary reason it's so expensive.
>>11337589If you want it to run 3ds, it's going to need something more than a h700.
RP3S
>>11337683>rp3 with more power and updated controlsthat's the rp4 tho
Just got my mini and surprised by the power of this thing. I was expecting Wonder to be where this thing hit it's limit, but Pikmin 4, while not perfect, is totally playable. This is insane for $200https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PpvsdcOgOPo&ab_channel=Mr.Floyd
>>11337693too much power desu, should just stick a T610 on a RP4 shell
>>11337701How are you liking your mini? Mine is coming in today assuming DHL doesn't get confused and deliver to the wrong apartment complex again.
>>11337721Haven't done a lot with it yet, currently testing the boundries before doing my usual suspects (retroarch and the like), but it feels good, screen looks great, seems like a very direct upgrade over the RP4P About to test We Love Katamari, I remember a couple levels that gave me a hard time on my RP4P so I wanna see how it fares on this
>>11337729Can you get wii u running on it ?
So it's settled. There's no more form factors left. Can we get rid of this shill general now?
>>11337742Sadly no, Wii U emu is only on Android 13. Technically so is Yuzu, but a community port exists that allows for gameplay on 10.
>>11337602Ayaneo are dummies legitimately
>>11337564>The second screen, when not playing a console that requires two screens, could play youtube, spotify, etc.On a chinkheld? Enjoy your 1 hour of battery life. The real best use for it is having a guide up when needed.
>>11337759Next form factor is a device with only a screen on the front, all the buttons on the sides and back.
>>11337793>>11337589this is either the same guy sharing a bad idea twice or two people who think having a guide they'll need once every other hour of gameplay is worth having a dedicated screen
>>11337729Tested and was surprised at how well it ran. The level in question chugged on my RP4P even on high performance mode, but the Mini runs it just fine on standard. I knew it was gonna run a bit better than the synthetic benchmarks would suggest but this is getting insane. Gonna run BotW next just out of morbid curiosity now
>>11337865How is the heat on the high peformance mode?
>>11337928Nothing too bad, the fan's admittedly quite loud on high performance but it's certainly doing it's job. Though admittedly I haven't done a long stretch of high performance, only tested Pikmin 4 for a few minutes. Switch is really the only thing forcing me to use it anyways
Latest rumor on baidu is a new version of the arc. With an h700 so it'll play saturn worse than the original.
>>11337865I was going to get the RP4P, but if the jump in power is that big, then it might make sense to just get the mini. Or wait for the 5.
>>11338096i got the mini because of the form factor, but i was really tempted by the picrel color of the 5. if the 5 were closer in spec to the odin 2 pro, I'd get it in a heartbeat, but I couldn't justify it since the 5 and mini both have the same chipset and only differ in terms of screen and battery.
>>11338106>dpad in wrong place
>>11338106well anon can it run botw?????
>>11336896>who would make one now when a used DS is 100 bucks at most and flashcarts are 10?I WANT ONE.Now admittedly, you asked who would (((((make))))) one but those used DS, they got aids. They got piss yellow screens baby pissbaby yellow staining. Well, not the 1st gen baby blue model, but the DS lite and the DSi models do.Why would I not want a DS clone with a decent 4:3 screen that can integer scale perfectly to 4x, 5x or even 10x, a 2x would be an improvement.Take the DSi XL, the near perfect form factor of that model, clone it and slam in some cute fuckin' rippin' hot displays for the kids, we can't get the SEXY AS FUCK huge pixels back but we can put in a screen high res enough that we can replicate it with shaders. Make it an OLED or IPS panel too and we're almost back to the sheer and utter perfection of the DSi XL.The microphone is mandatory for a repro but the DSi has one issue, the camera, you could get away without installing one but at this stage even the most ewaste tier VGA sensor is an upgrade over the DSi's camera. Slap it on back, slam it in and put a small piece of glass over the lens and we're cooking.Flashcarts, they're nice, but you know what's nicer? That's right, even linux distros running on ARM without proper suspend support. Yes, that's even an upgrade over the DS, the DS lite and the rockin' sweet DSi.Flashcarts are hardware for the disabled.
>>11338156That's a different anon, and unsure. Didn't actually have the rom on hand and currently downloading>>11338096The only real difference between the mini and 5 is screen size and 2gb of ram, so your call
>>11338059This is hilarious. If it's cheaper though I might be interested, always liked the look of the Arc and it would be perfect for SEGA CD and 32X. Also I know I memed it up earlier but that Quick Push handheld arrived on Sunday and it really is fun
>>11338059>xx
>>11338212If they just had a vertical, horizontal, and clamshell, and nothing else, the XX line coulda been one of the most well regarded lines of retro handhelds there is...why did they make it fucking eight.
new bread?
>>11337815I only said it once and that was just to try and justify having a second screen for anything but two specific handheld consoles, while being realistic in regards to energy usage especially for cheap chinkshit. Other than that I don't see a reason for a DS clone to be anything but a niche novelty even among handhelds since most DS games can be played on one screen. The only time I felt limited was DQ where text is on a different screen than the characters.
>>11338158DS and 3DS look like shit on anything but real hardware.
>>11338275De looks fine on the surface duo. 3ds is wider so not so much
>>11338286DS especially only looks good on original hardware, 3DS sometimes looks better upscaled if it's a fully 3D game.
Presenting, ThreadXX>>11338312>>11338312>>11338312>>11338312>>11338312
>>11338275it looks even shittier on real hardware.
>>11338275Don't worry, that's what the 4:3 display is for.It can be 384, 576, 768, 960, 1152, 1344 (LOL) no seriously, this is a cursed resolution, 1536, 1728 or even 1920 px tall and it'll look A-OK, better even than DS hardware. The only competition would be the DSi XL with that lovely low PPI display but that can be worked around with shaders and a 1920px tall display would allow you to run titles in 10x res and emulate the low PPI display similar to the anal log.The reason DS looks shit on 3DS is Nintendo's skill issue, same reason that GBA & GB look shit, they keep using screens that don't multiply into multiples so you can't integer scale. As for other platforms looking shit? Same issue, display tech is mostly standardised, unless the screen divides into a multiple it will look shit.However. DS looks pretty good on 2x 1024x768 displays, that's 4x for clean scaling. At that point you can either render in native res or at 768px and if you want to emulate the pixel grids from the previous display being low PPI you can do so with a shader.What you are describing is a skill issue.
>>11336581So you had that stroke in the end?
>>11337171Mfw the only company making clamcells is the one most likely to mess it up. And it still underpowered and unable to play all the things it's contemporaries can, like portmaster.
>>113382753d games can be upscaled and look a bit nicer, 2x resolution is all I ever want to improve early 3D games
>>11338195If it ran saturn I would have got one
>>11337602x86 so basically a laptop? Where if you want to display 2 screens you open two windows. Just get 1 larger folding screen.
>>11337759
>>11337793So there won't be better battery replacements in the future? Right?
>>11337865reminds me of the gp2x wiz
>>11338739>So there won't be better battery replacements in the future? Right?It's unlikely that there will be, believe it or not the "amazing" li-on battery replacements we saw arise in the 2000's wasn't actually a breakthrough even. Lithium was pegged before the 70's, li-on in the mid 70's then years avoiding it casting FIRE IV through to the 90's where it has largely stagnated since.They have charge cycle issues beyond nickel batteries that have yet to be solved, they still cast fire IV when sleepy or when, you know what the reasons are too numerous.Calling it Fire IV is inaccurate too because it's more like self destruct.They are currently disposable technology that's very bad for the planet, only slightly above lead and lead acid.Now, IS there capacity for a better battery replacement? Sure. Solid state still looks amazing but y'know, same issues we saw coming from lithium.What we have now, what you can cram into the space, that chasm, that's the capacity you should be expecting in 20 years. A new device can use less power, but an old device can only ever hold a bit more with a battery tech upgrade.
