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

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

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

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

I won't come at this from the stance of a "it looks good bro" faggot or gammajerkoff but from the stance of gammajerking off, you can get some better battery life out of the device so it's a nice value add right?

OLED isn't that big of an issue these days. Not only has technology gotten much better, you would have to go out of your way to get some form of burn in. Like leaving the display on max brightness 24/7 on one image for months at a time.
I'm not sure I'd be comfortable using it with a taskbar or internet browser but for playing a variety of games its perfectly fine.

is it possible to save shader and scaling configs in retroarch? Wanted to save format for NGPC and WS games so I don't have to keep on setting them up but can't find how to do it. "Configuration File" section and "Save Configuration" doesn't seem to do anything. On ambernic 28xx, I never use retroarch so I have no idea how it works. Can't find anything on net search either.

Just got a RG35XX Plus for $44

Did I get a good deal.
>>
>>11338797

>>
My rg28xx arrived, I bought the orange colour and installed MuOS on it.

>the pros
The color and texture of the thing is very very nice.
The shape is nice for its size.
It fucking TINY. The whole chinkheld is the same size as my rp3+ screen.
Buttons are responsive, and I don’t care for the size of the ABXY buttons, they simply work.
The 480p screen at this tiny size is very crisp.
Good battery for its size.

>the cons
The Dpad, although very responsive, is tall, taller than it should be.
ABXY are shiny while all other buttons are matte, retard design decision.
My chinkheld came with the halo around the edges of the screen. Not very noticeable and it does away, but it’s retarded a quality issue like this passed control (lol chinks having QC).
It fucking RATTLES. Oh god, it rattles so much, much more than every device I’ve owned, and I’ve had chinkhelds since the original Dingoo A320. Opened it up, and small amounts of tape were enough to make it dead silent, but it’s still retarded that they left so much space between the buttons and switches themselves.

>veredict
7/10, if you can open it up and apply some time, otherwise 5/10.

Lol. Lmao. I heard the arc was a flop for anbernic, and I'm pretty sure it was because it couldn't play saturn or the higher grade arcade fighters too well. Doesn't the h700 play it slightly worse?

>>11339063
Every saturn game i've played runs great with framskip, but i only play 2d fighters and shmups

>>11338437
Yeah it's a huge difference for me, I'm not technical at all but the blacks are much blacker. Going back to a normal screen the black looks like a bright blue in comparison. I switched all my games over to my oled smartphone with some simple shaders and scanlines and for me they look better than on my shitty old crt

What OS do you guys use on your RG35XX Plus?

Why does the xu mini m tempt me so?

Don't have a retro handheld.

Thinking if I did, up to/including 64 or dreamcast seems nice (I know xu mini m can't really do 64 and barely dreamcast), but probably only realy play snk arcade some mame and ps1, and 8/16 but games.

May never actually really play a retro handheld if I got it, probably pick it up, look at a game, say "that's neat" and put it down.

The $55 (before tax) for it make it seem a good price for a guy like me.

Other "cheap" options never seem this low a price for me.

$75 (before tax) for RG35XX H seems just to be too much for something I might not use. But the extra power might make it something I do use (considering hdmi out). But then, I have a pc...
>>
>>11339215
H700 isn’t actually that much better than rk3326. But the r35xxh shouldn’t be as high as 70. That’s pretty much the same price as anbernic’s 3356 chinkhelds. It’s also possible they just ran out of rk stock

something that people don't realize is that the black bars from 4:3 content on 16:9 DOES eventually materialize as burn-in for oleds. Its why I think the retroid mini is kind of neat but wider oled screens for /vr/ is a mistake.

>>11339623
There was this burn-in test from RTINGs
https://www.rtings.com/tv/learn/permanent-image-retention-burn-in-lcd-oled

>Black letterbox bars were displayed for almost 5,000 hours (equivalent to 208 days of continuous letterboxing). Some letterboxing is starting to become noticeable on full-screen slides, but not in normal content. As a result, we don't expect letterbox bars to cause any issues for people. It's due to the uneven aging of the screen. The black portions of the screen haven't aged as much as the rest, so those dark areas appear brighter in regular content.

So whether you notice it is one thing, but uneven aging of the screen is literally what burn-in is.
>>
>>11339623
OLED burn-in happens with uneven wear of the LEDs.
Since in the black bars the LEDs are completely off but the rest aren't, they will wear much less than the non-black sections causing uneven wear aka OLED "burn-in".

>uneven aging of the screen is literally what burn-in is.
When people say burn in they don't mean aging of the screen. They mean the much more specific problem of certain elements leaving a lingering image.
>>
>>11339653
its one in the same. When a modern TV runs a 'pixel refresher', what its doing is literally damaging the entire screen slightly so that your screen is uniformly fucked up and consistent rather than splotchy from the HUD elements and CNN logos.

Thanks I find that oh so reassuring considering pretty much EVERYTHING I'd play would be in 4:3
>>
>>11339656
You are arguing semantics. But I am not sure if pixel refreshers bother with parts of the screen that aren't in use like the black bars from 4:3 content. At any rate Chinkhelds are ewaste and the other parts will die much faster than the screen.
>>
recently got a Pocket 2S and I'm satisfied...for now. I like the smaller form factor, the 4:3 screen, and the android OS. Is there a step-up system from here that would maintain similar size but have better playback of gamecube and/or ps2 games? I've seen the retroid mini (I think it was called), that seems like a good bet, but curious if any others would stand out. Really want to avoid 16:9 if I can. 1:1 systems seem cool though. Only other plus would be if the screen wasn't a vertical screen turned sideways since retroarch is annoying to configure on such devices.

Odin Portal preorders are live, and once again they are eating Ayaneo's lunch. The only way that the Pocket Evo can come back from this is if there's a greater performance gap from the G3X Gen 2, or if AYN fucks up and the buttons scrape the casing like with the RP Mini. That or AYN actually ships some units with the planned 6600 mAh battery.
>>
>>11339752

>>11339790
Isn't G3x Gen 2 basically an SD8 Gen 2 with higher clocks?
>>
>>11339845
I'm actually not sure, because I couldn't find many comparisons online. I know the Pocket S was said to have the G3X Gen 2, but because of its design and how it suffered from thermal throttling the performance was said to be neutered.

>>11339893
The dpad in the wrong place. The 120hz screen adds nothing to it's intended use case. It is too heavy to be comfortable. It can't play anything the Retroid 4/5/mini can at much cheaper with a better form factor.
>>
>>11339893
If you've already got a device that can play the games you wanna play in a form factor you like, you'd be wasting $309. I've got a RP4P, and even though I like the look of the Portal, all it would get me is better switch emulation, which I don't need and wouldn't use.

You are the one knowing your priorities, you have to decide
For me the size is the decider her. The Odin 2 is the biggest which I can comfortably fit into my travel packs (given tat my usual use case is to play it on my 2x40min daily and 2x2.5h commute), the portal is subtantially larger

In terms of ease of use and compatibility with emulators and games, what are the best options for handheld PCs?
>>
>>11339893
If you can afford it without dipping into saving or credit, and you want it, then you're fine. My policy on these devices is to have no more than two at a time, though, so if you're just collecting these things to look at them on a shelf, then immediately block this board in /etc/hosts and refrain from buying any more handhelds.

>>11339997
SD OLED. The only superior options are more than 2x the price, and the improvements are marginal.
>>
>>11338614
Oled burn in is way wqay less of an issue for a decade at this point.

Can it do PS2 and GC?
>>
>>11340076
yes with the usual cavaets every handheld has with ps2 (you still cant play darksiders, nascar05,cmr05 and such which are unplayable on every handheld atm regardless of performance)
>>
>>11340076
I’ve tested GC thoroughly, and it works incredibly well. The only issues I’ve gotten seem rom-specific. For example, Simpson hit n run had pretty bad audio tearing. I didn’t play around with non-standard mode or any emulator optimizations though. I can’t speak for PS2 yet but I’m downloading bully and metal arms glitch in the system, so I’ll let you know once I’ve play around with those for a bit.

>Battery
Not a problem for the one's with removable batteries or easily replaceable batteries like powkiddy. That's the only reason why powkiddy is actually more liked in china, they use more common batteries that are super easy to replace.
>Flash memory
Only the android ones (And sjgam) use emmc and it's almost never a problem simce they just use one's from phones anyway. Which tend to last 10+ years. This hasn't even been a problen for droid chinkhelds in fucking years except re*roid and anbernig. (The 505 has a worse emmc than anything's powkiddy has used and the retroid p2 was worse than anbernic's and died even faster
>>11339775
>Jobbing to plastic
Kekaroo! MIPS chinkhelds would never!
>obsolescence
This is something at least retroid does 100 percent on purpose. 2, 2+, and 2s had simple swap and be done with it, but starting with the 3, replacing the battery wasn't enough. You had to do some solderingshit with the battery connector itself so it would accept it. Hinge issues were not the only reasons the flip wasn't liked in chinkland. Shit was time bomb

4000mAh vs 5000mAh battery
better handling due to the regular rp5 being bigger

>>
>>11340248
>>11340239
The screen protector looks shitty to put on
>>
>>11340248
the battery and ram are objective differences, but I'm convinced battery life will be more or less the same due to screen size/resolution difference, and the extra ram is worthless if you're not trying to play shitch. I also haven't heard of anyone being able to make the mini throttle yet fwiw, sounds like it runs super cool.
>better handling due to the regular rp5 being bigger
extra height will probably help a bit, but the mini actually has its own comfort advantage when it comes to the stick offset.

i know you didn't ask nor did you say otherwise about any of this, but my autism compels me.
>>
>>11340301
You could just say fuck it and use an RP4 screen protector.
Why they went with a glass front is a damn mystery.
>>
>>11340319
The RP5 screen is nearly an inch bigger, pretty sure the RP4 screen protector won't cut it even it's made to cover all of the bezel. Pretty easy to find screen protectors for 5.5" screenhelds like x55/x28/x18/rg556/aya neo pocket air/etc on ali tho. I would go that route over the full faceplate one Retroid is offering.

Nta but if it's anything like RP4P, Winlator kind of blows.

>>11340435
You want horizontal then. 35xxh or 28xx. I'd reccomned something wider, but you might not like how gb looks. 28xx also might be too small.
>>
>>11340421
New retroids have snapdragon 865. The 4pro has a better chip than what you listed. The new ones should be comparable but with better driver support.
>>
>>11340435
Nta but as someone who has both, the RP2S is too small to be comfortable too, at least without grips or baby hands.

did you try the r36s? i'm thinking of buying one but if your hands hurt after using an SP then...idk

>>11340354
Rough spot. The 2S is godly for everything up to DC, unrivalled even by retroid's other chinkhelds in value and pros, but 3.5" 4:3 for GB and GBA isn't $100 great. So you look at the weaker stuff up to $100 and suddenly you can't run many shaders at all. That leaves the Cube, right? 4" 1:1, 720p, integer GBA scaling, Android for Vulkan support, beefy chip, you spend an extra $60 something and that's it... except it has nasty light bleed, awful sticks at software level, etc. The A1 Unicorn could be a choice, but personally the microswitch buttons turn me off bad. The 406v has the screen you're looking for at 4" 960x720, but it's a fuckhuge vertical.

Among those, I'd still go with the 2S personally.

Nittrx is teasing a new handheld, but I have no idea if this is an Anbernic device or if other companies are trying to rip off Anbernic.

Yeah, I don't like that either, but at least it's placed higher than the Cube's.

1. it looks cool
2. seems like there is a design language shift at retroidayn (see odin2mini, odin2portal as well)
3. it's the current design trend, expect others to follow
4. does look more premium
5. you can charge for glass replacement

Most of all i want it to last, i had a rg35xx plus and no joke it died in a week, tried everything to fix it but no luck. I guess i'll give Retroid a chance and get the 2S this time.

The era of mips, actions chips chinkhelds with strange ereaderos's are over. The new era calls for chinkhelds with rejected rockchips and gutted emulationstation.

The value proposition on the Deck is just too good. About the only reason I can think of to spend the extra few hundred bucks on a Rog Ally X is I could play my "totally legitimate" pinball game collection on it. Games like Pinball Arcade or FX3 with all tables which the former isn't even available anymore. But is it really worth the extra few hundred bucks just to play pinball? I am actually finding it hard to decide that.

This. AYN/Ayaneo devices are reliably made by the standards of chinese manufacturers, and they seem confident enough in their products to include fast charging power bricks in the packaging. Most manufacturers would never do such a thing because they don't want their products to turn into IEDs.

Config issue: stock/Crossmix, as originally installed, have the cores running at full blast all the time. If you set the LEDs to match CPU frequency, you'll notice they constantly stay red (max freq) while playing pretty much anything, regardless of whether it's a demanding platform/game or not. Worse, Trimui have overclocked the A133P to 2 GHz, which is out of spec (standard max freq 1.8 GHz), even though the A133P itself is an overclocked A133 (1.6 GHz).
You need to deactivate performance mode and manually edit a bunch of files to set lower frequencies. Also, you have to do it separately for every emulated platform, since there's no one size fits all (some platforms can run well on 1.2 GHz max freq, but others need 1.8).

pocket 2s keeps crashing on dolphin after 20-30 minutes. What can I do to fix it? Alternatively, what's a more powerful, but similarly sized, 4:3 horizontal GameCube handheld? And can any of these handhelds keep the clock running in animal crossing when in sleep mode? my guess is no because the game was never made for that, but I'll hold out hope. Just irritating to have to either keep it on all the time or turn the game off and reset the clock when I need to quit.

>>11341875
Either fiddle with Dolphin's settings or google the problem and there will probably be a reddit thread about it. RP5Mini is probably what you're looking for but I like widescreen so I play GC and PS2 on RP4P. As for AC, I simply set my device's clock 12 hours ahead since I'm a second shifter and the characters are not.

then I'd like to have terraria, stardew valley, minecraft, gta San Andrea's, doom, dwarf fortress, factorio, cuphead.

>>11342302
I'm digging into it but what it seems like initially is that there are disconnects between RA, shaders, and different cores. They have their own ways of expressing what to do and when, and in the case of ambernic using sideways mounted screens, what you'd need is an ability to rotate the coordinate space of the shader, so that it runs with 0,0 being mapped to 0,H (where H is the "vertical" resolution, aka the width of the screen) and then the shader runs as if it's a horz screen.

Something cheap like GB300 will play all of the games for a fraction of the price with battery and backlight, no need to buy a flash cart or games

If you just want to spend money then at least get something cool like a TrimUI Brick.

>>11343379
What do you like about it, anon? If it's just the form factor/aesthetic you can get that from a $!0 Famiclone handheld, complete with Tetris and Super Mario Bros.

If it's the games themselves, they are very easy to emulate on any of the other handhelds here.

Mainly the nostalgia and the physical cartridges feel really good. I have a game boy with a flash cart plus some other games. When I was a kid I stopped playing handheld after the game boy advance except when I briefly had a nintendo ds to play monster hunter.

If we're talking legit hardware, 3DS and Vita were the peak. Switch could have been since bigger should mean more comfortable to hold, but due to it being two tiny controllers around a big screen, ergonomics were deprioritized in favor of function. Switch Lite should have improved on this due to controls being permanently stuck on but it's even worse, probably to make sure it was as small as it could be.

In my experience it sucks ass. I played Castle of Temptation for like 30 minutes on RP4P, heated the device up faster than anything else and drained the fuck out of the battery.

RG35XXH is $50 on aliexpress, I literally just bought one.

I feel it’s a little overrated, it’s not bad but it’s not perfect either.

For my money, the SF2000 pisses and shits all over everything. Best ergos, best controls, 18650 battery you can easily get and swap, nice screen, if it only had more power and custom firmware or better stock emulators that could play up to all PS1, it would be the best handheld period. Nintendo Switch really fucked up everything, everyone copies its shitty controls and too thin rectangle shape.

I'm finding kinda hard to justify buying something like the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro when I can just buy a nice telescopic gamepad for my phone and play games there, what are the drawbacks?

If you already have a phone you aren't using then desu you're fine to just make a gaming device out of it, no significant drawbacks. Most of the drawbacks of using a phone is having the game stuff occupying phone space, battery life, and distractions (which is solved by it being a separate device), as well as a phone+controller often being more expensive than a dedicated handheld of the same power (which doesn't matter cause you already own the phone)

>>11343958
Nah that's user's fuck up. It's really not that hard to just respectfully handle a handheld, people miraculously don't destroy their phones every day. Granted, I woulda preferred a plastic front myself, but that's totally someone just being a fucking idiot.

I'd be curious to see how Silent Hill 2 looks on a display that small. It emulates surprisingly fine at a 2X resolution increase with the D1200 chipset, so I would assume it runs just as well on the Mini.
Also couldn't hurt to see if Gran Turismo 4 can run close to full speed on it. That's a game that can stress out some weaker devices even with a 1X resolution.

I'll say I played some SH2 on the 4P and it worked great at 2x so I don't imagine the mini will have any problem. I'll give GT4 a go tho

After a few days with the 'eck. I'm liking it.
LCD model because I thought the screen was going to be too big on OLED.
Screen's a little too big for GBA and wonderswan, it's alright for SNES & PSX etc though, matched up to my AOV estimates and min/max/ideal sizes.
If I had the OLED I think I'd probably use the trimui smart pro for GBA/WS.
6th gen stuff I played seems fine 7th gen and some PC from that era depends on the game, had a modern game that has tiny text/icons

Ergonomics, the big thing that put me off along with the projected fan noise and battery life.
They're alright, I'm no symmetrical fan and thought the dpad would be too close to the edge but nah, it's actually alright, L4 & R4 could be farther up though imo and would prefer the steam & options button to be smaller next to the back/start buttons. Rear vent could do with being a little farther over starting on the 2nd slot but it's alright.
USB port's in an okay position but it would be nice to have two, I don't have a dock yet so.

Software. I'm no linux wizard and my journey back to linux has been ok. Flatpak sucks, that's for sure. I lost 20~ GB on my first run with emudeck and lutris.
Lutris/Wine, alright when it works. I've had mixed results, have an older game which uses the registry to store settings, launch etc and it just doesn't wanna work.
The hardware keyboard/setup is jank, if I only played games on the steam store or setup a bunch of emulators & roms in one go I could do without a dock but after setting up SSH so I could avoid typing on it at all costs while setting up older games, yeah definitely need one.

Otherwise all good. Coulda gotten one earlier but it's filling that 6th gen niche at the right size that I was wanting. If there'd been a 6" 4:3 android device, I'd have caved for that way sooner than I waited for this.

I see no point in spending $300 on ARM. Doesn't enable any emulation $200 doesn't cover, the x86 compatibility layers are massively overrated and still need years of work, the only use case here is legitimately fucking gacha.

I regret not getting one of those for my 3DS sooner. Might have even stuck with the OG over the XL.

>I regret not getting one of those for my 3DS sooner
I got one off of ali for my OG 3DS XL at the start of this year, pretty good.
I've only found custom grips for the "old" DSi XL, the mass produced ones like this I haven't had much luck finding when I've looked.
DS & 3DS form factor definitely benefits from it, but I always found the DSi XL more comfortable to hold than the 3DS XL so i've never gotten one 3d printed.
Worth getting one for a vita too if you've got one of them, massive improvement.
>>
>>11344432
Odin lite is like a retroid 4, no? So you basically have most gc and ps2 already. Portal will add some switch and bettet ps2. You might as well get a deck.
>>
>>11344432
Odin 2 Pro gives you more Switch and all PS2. No need for a deck unless you want better Switch or Xbox/PS3/360 emu as well, but beware they are nowhere near perfect.
>>
>>11344452
>I wouldn't even say gacha as its always online and that defeats the whole fucking purpose of getting a handheld.
I can see the benefits of using a handheld for gacha depending on the game.
I played nier reincarnation before it EOSed this year on the TSP through remoteplay and a steaminput control layer and it was very comf. Although it looked better on a 10" ipad in lovely 4:3. I'd love a nice offline version of that.
I think people just want devices with nice screens and controls whether their games are old or new. I know amazon tablet man got pooped on for his shilling but 9-10" 4:3 is very nice at arm's length for 6th gen RPGs and maybe even action games if the controller was gud enuff.

Also I'm sure you could use your phone as a mobile hotspot for online games right? I think most modern smartphones do that now. Maybe you could set that up and play FF XI or Everquest on the go without going for offline server installs.

Admittedly the 2nd tier of hueg phones is a little bigger but a 6 incher in a sane size is cucked by the tall screens for 4:3 content. Playing 7th gen beyond on that kinda size is gonna be about the same.

bought a gba sp from marketplace, the person had it listed as a 3ds, told me it was from her daughter and it had lost the charger years ago, but for 15 i thought it was worth the gamble, was shipped in an envelope with no protection, had to do the plug-&-unplug trick for the battery to take charge but in the end it worked fine, all the buttons work (up on the d-pad needs a little cleaning), the screen works though the right side light is not very bright, but again, $15 for a fully working gba sp, i can't really complain

Ignoring the fact playing on a phone is a horrific meme, that difference is massive wtf are you talking about. Even just the difference between the 3.7" Mini screen and anbernig's 4" screen is shockingly big.

I’ve been playing through a n64 rom set and I swear to god this has to be the shittiest console of all time. Even all the classics are clunky and unplayable. For reference ps1 has >100 games that I like and Saturn has maybe 20-30. I refuse to believe anyone can enjoy these games in 2024, even with the nostalgia factor.

Only game I could play with that many friends was one of the wrestling ones, I remember it had cage matches as that is the only mode they wanted to play.

I hate verticals and got the SP recently and I'm waiting for the novelty to wear off because it perfectly fulfills that dream I always had of a GBA SP that could play other systems including SNES and Genesis and PS1. It's the first time I downgraded on purpose, in no way is the performance an increase over my RP4P but the nostalgia is too strong. In fact I'm glad it came out before the Miyoo Flip because I don't think analog sticks would have felt the same, the way the SP is closer to an actual SP sells it even harder for me.

It's the same thought process for a phone. Why wait for the boot animation when you can just press a button and it's just on. It's not difficult to understand. Hell, it double makes more sense for the android handhelds since those are pretty much just tablets and have the same boot time.
>>
>>11346437
Tbf, isn't that mostly a rockchip thing? (The chip the anbernig 552 drains WAY more power off than on. A power switch like on the rg300 could've fixed it)
>>
>>11346440
Nah This is for 35XX series.
Devs haven't released source code so only the stock OS can write state to disk and turn fully off for sleep mode.

Whilst CFWs have to write state to RAM and never fully turn off for sleep mode draining more battery. It's retarded if Im honest. They really want people to use the stock os for some reason.

The problem is the pocketable non-stick options are all shit in terms of ergonomics, screen, controls, etc. You can cry and bitch about muh shills all your want, the TSP still mogs the ever loving fuck out of your nig sp, vertislop, and 28xx. Dumbass crybaby faggot.

"Knockoff PCs" aren't really something we need considering you can just buy a cheap PC just about anywhere. Handhelds make sense because it's a niche piece of hardware that fulfils needs that can't be satisfied by other, similar devices, but a PCs just a PC.

If it (D900/SD845) can do Skyrim it can do Fallout 3.
The sdG720/g780 (Samsung A52) is a comparable chip so it's likely something you could've optimized to work better.

I'm the same as that guy, have to put my entire rom collection on a device. It's really stupid because as you said, you couldn't play all of it, even in your entire lifetime. But I feel like I'm missing out on cool english patches for Japan only releases, hidden gems etc
