>>11349247are there any chink helds with a similar form factor to the wonder swan
>>11349247>For GBA/GBC gamesDSI, DS, Lite or 3DS ? And how is DSI compatibility on Wii U?
>>11349273The Odin 2 MAX at the low low cost of 5 million dollars
>>11349273(Korean) Odroid was going to make one, but it was cancelled.
>>11349313none of that tendie trash. get a chinkheld.
How do I install syncthing on the TSP?
sup doods
>>113493133ds with that open agbfirm thingamajack for gba.>>11349321You good chinkheld bro?
>>11349321Chinkhelds don't make those systems look good at all, OG hardware is the way to go
>>11349345I get what you mean, but>gbcThe 1:1 devices. Even if they're total memes. Gbc looks pretty good on the trim brick too, but it gets fucking hot somehow.>GbaPretty much any good chinaheld with a wide aspect ratio, but v10 if you want actual 3:2.
>>11349271They estimate that shipping will begin on November 14, but I doubt that. End of November if they're lucky. >>11349335Now that is some adorable artwork.
>>11349358I'm moving country in Early December. I'm going to need to cancel my order.
Well its official I bought a deck. Now I play the funniest game of them all, the waiting game.
>>11349313Are they all original size, or do you have an XL model of one? At least with the 3DS XL, you can play both at their original resolutions AND their original screen size, which I personally really appreciate.
>>11349390Are you this guy >>11348527 ? I've never tried to use Winlator myself because it looked and sounded like a total nightmare.
>>11349409Nta but I did try Winlator. I came to the conclusion I'm too much of a casual to get it to work
>>11349247The WonderSwan Color is cute as fuck. I wonder if it would be powerful enough to run an NES emulator.
Is there an OS for the TSP that shows favorite games in the same box art way that PPSSPP and pcsx2 do?
Is 40xxH going to have any problems with running shaders on snes or genesis?
>>11349247I pulled the trigger and finally bought a cheap Android tablet for myself, my GF has an iPad and I've liked using it more than I expected, so I got a cheap tablet for myself, though Android since I prefer the OS, it should arrive in a few days. I'm thinking of getting a telescopic controller that can fit it, it's about 25cm wide, 10.5' screen, it's going to be fun using CRT shaders on it I guess.I'm probably getting an IPEGA, any other good telescopic controllers that can extend to 25cm without any sort of modifications? I just want it to fit right out of the box if possible as I'm lazy.
Ordered My Melody but they sent Cinnamoroll insteadThey're fun handhelds though
I plan to use an rg cube for retro but now need a handheld for my old PC games (dos, 95, 98)...any ideas? No budget but is steam deck really going to be the only option??
>>11349875>telescopic controlleru DO realize it will work with literally ANY normal earth-human controller?why does this board do this?just be fucking NORMAL.i use my sega astro-city arcade stick with mine kek
>>11349335nice.for mere mortals, id suggest flashmasta kek>>11349247>>11349257>>11349251lookin good
so I was looking to upgrade from my old RK3326 vertislop to a T618 horizontal console with a 16:9 screen primarily for better PSP performance and some 2D PS2 gamesmy choices are >Retroid Pocket 3+pretty expensive in my country, official website won't ship to my country so resellers are my only option, the best one hardware and software wise according to everyone>Powkiddy X28cheapest one, but also apparently filled with hardware issues and performance is not as good as the others >RG405Mkinda expensive, but also nice metal build and performance, 4:3 display tho, also it can overheat and I hate that >RG505OLED display (the same as the Vita tho but I don't mind the green smearing), great performance with Gamma OS and decent hardware think I'm going for the RG505 and install GammaOS as soon as it arrives, any potential hardware issue I should be aware of? or am I commiting a huge mistake and should just save more for the Pocket 3+
>>11349942I think anon wants to make it more like a Switch/Deck
>>11350043Trimui Smart Pro will do all of that minus PS2Idk why people even ask about GCN and PS2 in these threads honestly
>>11350043If odin pro is still on sale go with that. It's a very comfortable device
>>11349627Depends. You probably mean CRTs ones, which you can forget in general.
>>11349875>Galaxy tabYou just reminded me I have one of those.... from 2019. A Galaxy Tab A SM-T510. Had literally a millimeter of dust on it as the last time I used it was the day I got my Samsung phone back in 2020. I think I'm going to try an install Delta Touch on it or maybe Duckstation just for shits and giggles then wipe it and give it to good will
This piece of a shit brick seems irreplaceable. I hate it but there doesn't seem to be anything better on the market.
>>11350068using an objectively worse controller just to prove a point seems v dumb tablet+kickstand+GOOD controller = 10\10a tablet+cliponJANK will be too large\heavy for long periods of play
>>11350136RP2S is a lot better.
>>11350140Hunched over 10 inch screen on a table with a kickstand using an xbox controller or whatever to control it. Not very handheld either. At that point why not get a USB-C to hdmi adapter and hook it up to your tv
>>11349358Guys, should I cancel my rp5 order? I ordered it in september with the intention of making it a ps2 machine, but then the portal 2 got announced and I ordered that as well. Do you think they overlap in usage too much?
>>11350214That's up to you bubby. Do you want something (relatively) small and light, or something big? Do you want something d-pad top or bottom? etc.
>>11349390I actually get a lot of use out of mine, though lately it's been docked to my TV as a sort of HTPC instead of just games which I achieved by installing firefox and kodi as flatpak non-steam games.Also yes, you did get scammed hard on that SD card. If you can't tell what's real always go with the Nintendo branded ones. You probably didn't even need that because you could also attach an external to the dock instead, which is how I have my movies and shows set up.
>>11350224Aren't these marked up literally just because they have Nintendo logos slapped on them?
>>11350224What program do I use to test the capacity of the sd card on the off chance its not a fake? Amazon is usually good when it comes to returns but I don't want to return it if its not fake
>>11349335Fuck you.
>>11350236Nevermind I googled it, I thought it'd be harder to find
>>11350214That depends. Do you want a powerful Android device with a 7" OLED Display? Stick with the Portal. If you want something more portable, you don't mind that its weaker and that it has the D-pad on top, stick with RP5.
>>11350095That's a shame, blurPi-soft was the specific one.
I really hope glass fronts don't become the new thing every company starts copying.
>>11350214If you ordered the RP5XL, you don't care about the d-pad. Go ahead.>>11350236h2testw>>11350287Well, if it runs on some Pi there's a chance. Name a game and I'll check, SNES is probably more taxing.>>11350291Sadly, MagicX announced their 3.2 will have a glass panel at $75. So if even their amateur asses are doing it, you can expect Zhou to follow suit.
>>11350136the king of handhelds isn't a fucking meme anon.
Finally got the Atomic Purple Game Box Plus, now the only GBC color I'm missing is the green. Slightly improved from the last time since they put Twinbee and Star Soldier back on it, still not as good as the unbranded models you see online thoughHonestly I'm not as interested in Famiclones anymore after buying >>11349883, the bubbles are just super satisfying to pop
>>11350228The SanDisk brand is probably more of a mark-up desu. $109 on sale for a 1TB card is about normal.
>>11350075>Idk why people even ask about GCN and PS2 in these threads honestlytoo many zoomettes
Realistically how many months before linux is smoothly working on the RP mini
>>11350314Demons crest, link to the past, dkc would be appreciated testing games. It shouldn't be a taxing shader I would imagine
>>11349251Street Dancer says hello.
>>11349351>but it gets fucking hot somehow.Fucking kills me that they're like this. RK2023, goes up to Dreamcast, warms up playing SNES or Genesis. RP4P, goes up to PS2, heats up playing upscaled PS1 with modest shaders.
>>11349409>winlator>windows emulator>never works>check what it's made of>it's linuxPottery.
>>11349937Isn't ScummVM for old Windowshit? Even then like half of those games got ports on old consoles so that's one route you could take.
>>11350075>>11350501>Idk why people even ask about [consoles I personally do not care about] in these threads honestlyUh...maybe because they like those consoles?>>11350043>also it can overheat and I hate thatProtip: they all can. The solution is that when you feel your chinkheld start to get warm, you put it to sleep and set it down until it cools off. That's literally it. Again: EVERY CHINKHELD GETS HOT. The most common way for it to build heat quickly is playing the highest end type of console it's capable of and/or having it plugged into the tv. You have to pay attention to and manage its heat, this is something each chinkheld user needs to be aware of. Personally I'm "lucky" in that I had an early wake up call to shit like this with an old cell phone, most people don't seem to understand that their electronics generating too much heat is something to pay attention to. >great performance with Gamma OS and decent hardwareThis applies for 405M as well, at least in my experience. Worst I can say about it is my L1 button needed to be clicked harder than the other triggers after some months of use.
>>11350214RP5 will have linux iirc, don't know if Odin does but if you care about OS then there's that to consider.
>>11350721>t. assblasted zoomettehave a rough day today sport
>>11350540Probably shouldn't get one specifically for linux unless it's in working order by the time you plan on having it
Atomic Purple Famiclone came with this game built in, I want to like it but it's just so annoyingReally want to go back to Quick Push right now
Now I remember why I like FamiclonesPlaying pic rel (Quarth) for the first time and it rocks, never would have found it without buying this
>>11350761I just gave this a go, great game, thanks for posting.
>>11350501>>11350735
>>11350075>Somehow worse than the average rockshit 3566>Gets hot playing ps1fucking1gamesShartui shills make retroidkeks look sane somehow. How the fuck did this happen?>>11350501>>11350735>He thinks it's NEW for chinkhelds to play 5th gen shit fullspeed>HlWhen chinks have been marketing for 7th gen mobile games during the jxd days>Booty vloasted self hating zoomer thinks millennials didn't play 6th gen goyslopLol. Lmao even. Do linux xisters really? Least rgb30 bros have a gimmick. Shartui gets hot playing fucking wonderswan. Kek-lmao.
>>11349875How compatible is the iCade cabinet with Android? Though it wouldn't then be much of handheld I guess.
X18s successor udpate that was already known: The engineer is waiting for a chip to go on sale for cheap that can do good ps2 and gamecube. Will not be the t820. They CAN use the 820, but want something better. The design also isn't finished. Not even sure how different it'll acutally look.
>>11350770Indeed.
>>11350418Swan cant even touch the neo geo pocket. At least with fighitng games. Better controls on the pocket too.>>11350761Speaking of famiclones, were there any notable vertical gameboy looking one's before miyoo's bittboy? They were a thing, but people almost never bought them. The hori one's were more popular from what I remember.
>>11350785>jxdThat takes me back.
>>11350826>They CAN use the 820, but want something better.PowGODDY about to drop the Odin killer onto an unsuspecting, undeserving market.
has anyone tried playing arcane dimensions with quakespasmspiked port on the trimui smart pro ? If so how does it run.
>WinlatorAlright I've been seeing this in these threads a lot recently for some reason. Can it play visual novels and indie games on a RP5 or Odin 2? Because that gives me reason to never impulse buy a steam deck / rog ally.
>>11350578Recorded on a 35xx Plus with muOS, same internals. Heard the audio hiccup on rare occasions on headphones but I can't tell if it's the capture, for example I'm sitting on the LTTP game over screen on the background as I upload and type this and it hiccups like every 1m30 when it makes no sense to.https://vioo.cc/v/3COhttps://vioo.cc/v/3J1chttps://vioo.cc/v/4Gvc
406h back shot, it's a 4:3 Cube.
Was surprised to see that Yooka Laylee runs damn near perfectly on a Retroid Mini, only seems to get a hint of stutter during transitionshttps://youtu.be/rAuCYWo6rGw?si=OPQ_Cvl-p2Nko2lH(Before jannies delete for not being retro, in my defense this games an N64 tribute)
>>11350816if the steamdeck counts this might as well too
>>11350159someone call Nintendo and tell them that the switch is doomed to fail then
>>11350140Sir this is Handhelds general, we tend to prefer holding the system in our hands
>>11350978Honest answer is itll depend. Winlator can get fucky wucky with unity based games so that could be an issue. Winlator is better for older PC games that don't have proper support elsewhere, like Alice or The Thing
If they're so cheap and easy to make then how come we don't get afrohelds or jeethelds?
>>11350978Just use Joiplay for RPGM and VNs.
>>11351053Steam Deck counts because Valve is based.
>>11351065The handhelds general should be used to explain why handhelds are inferior to PC and real game consoles and we should spend every moment trying to turn people away from handhelds.
>>11351152The actual problem is that everyone uses this thread to talk about emulation handhelds and not retro handhelds.
>>11350978>That need to play pc games on the least convenient/uncomfortable devices possible for it. This hooby is full of autistics. Damm
>>11351180We also need to warn people not to use emulation handhelds.
>>11351058If you are playing the Switch with a kickstand on table with a pro controller you are playing wrong. There is magical device known as a dock that lets you hook it up to your tv, unless you got a lite your Switch came with one.
>>11351191So no PSPs then
>>11351182wdym indie games and VNs are PERFECT for a handheld device.
>>11351364I can’t, my mom is watching Fox News and she will beat me if I change the channel.
>>11351047Can't wait to see the rp4pro vs rp5 videos.
Why do I dislike emulating on the steam deck so much? Is it just too big?
>>11351468Probably
>>11350978>Can it play visual novels and indie games on a RP5 or Odin 2?Depends which ones but the the ones that I have personally tried so far I have no issues at all, if you have something in mind I can test it later
I won't be seeing my Deck until well into November now. Guess it gives me time to widdle down my rom collection to games I'll actually play.Like looking at my folders I got games like Ty the Tasmanian Tiger for PS2, or No One Can Stop Mr. Domino for PSX. I'd don't even know why I have these games let alone could see myself playing them.
5/6Just need Kiwi and then I'll have all of the GBC colors
>tfw want more Famiclones but Quick Push is better in every way
Randomly came across this anime post on Twitter that had my dream handheld in it. I was just thinking of something like this a few days ago when looking for a comfortable vertislop handheld.
>>11349337this is actually pretty cool
>>11351520How about any visual novel? How do mouse inputs work?And maybe bloodstained? That's about the highest 3d quality indie I'd play.
>>11350951guise pls anyone
>>11351374PSP is a handheld, so of course.
RPmini owners, do you swear on your life that it can run ps2?
How do I play doa xtreme beach volleyball for the original Xbox? Which handheld will play it natively if not 2x?
>>11351736>vertislop>dream handheld
>>11352171I don't have one but I can guarantee it plays every PS2 game flawlessly at 2x.>>11352180RP Mini once Linux comes out on it.
>>11352187Nothing now?
What are good low budget options for a phone controller?
>>11352187it's already out for the Mini, reddit game uncle did a video playing some Xbox on it. unfortunately it all ran like shit.
>>113522038bitdo, can even get a holder for both phone and bt controller so it's kind of like one frankensteined together handheld
>>11352181Speak for yourself, anon.
>>11352190Try the 'eck
>>11352220that doesn't make sense in this context anon...
>>11352217Sounds good, could I also ask if you have any recommendation for telescopic ones?
>>11352258That's all I got. After that it was Nvidia Shield Portable then all chinkhelds all the time.
>>11352223Is the meme held the only one? What about loki?
>>11349247Can the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro play all PS2/GCN games? Or should I get the 5? Or do I need to wait a year? Is it worth waiting until there's a console that can do all 3DS games, or is that a ways out?
>>11352282Deck is the best option for its price. Everything else costs more without adding enough to justify the added cost.
>>11352283RP4P cannot play Nightshade (PS2) at a playable speed and SASRT (3DS) is the same way, among other things. RP5 is still in the cope range so if you need to have it all, I'd say just go for Odin 2 Mini if you're looking at performance and portability as the biggest factors. If you don't need it to be small, there's more options.
>>11352282Its okay if you can get it used at a reasonable price, I paid $556 CAD (slightly less than $400 USD I think) for one and I think that's reasonable for it. Screen looks nice and controls are okay, though I'm not a fan of the shoulder buttons or the triggers. Not a fan of how off center the left side of the device is, its perfectly fine with how it fits into the palm of my hands on the right side but I'm just not a fan of this design choice in execution.The main reason why people recommend the 'eck isnt just good price/perf, its also because Windows on a handheld is awful. None of this is helped either by the fact that that AYN's Loki Control Center is very poor and I dont remember if there's a download link on the site anymore, I had to go on a mini scavenger hunt for it. Ayaneo's Ayaspace was honestly better for managing TDP controls with a button, it had its problems but I found it worked more reliably in comparison. Plus you can't use both controller mode or mouse mode/TDP switching with the Loki. You have to choose one or the other. The difficulty with making a Windows handheld is probably one of the reasons why AYN dropped out of making those, and why they're really fighting against Ayaneo hard on the Android front.
>>11352314Portability is honestly more important to me than performance. I've got a gaming pc for intensive stuff. I'll consider the Odin though, thanks.
>>11352326No problem. As far as portability goes, RP4P is almost the exact same size as my phone and sits comfortably in my pocket with the back to my leg and the triggers pointed behind me. If it had Odin 2's performance it would basically be the perfect portable console for me, but it does lack that highest end performance.
>>11351923Bloodstained has a mobile version, but I think it doesn't have controller support.
finally, a real 4:3 handheld
>>11351002Awesome friend. I'm pumped for this device now.
>>11352376Anbernic has lost their way.
To the Wonderswan owners ITT- what happens if you try to boot the console without a cartridge? My Wonderswan won't turn on anymore and I don't know whether to suspect a faulty console or a faulty cartridge.
>>11352376What's wrong with the RP mini? It's more expensive, sure, but every anbernic I've owned feels like a prototype, and I regret having bought it within a week then just put it on Ebay.
>>11352376>analog on top where it belongsRP Minidicks btfo
>>11352376this is a shoop from ages ago fyi. the pic of a 406h from the rear with the back shell off is real tho and came from an anbernig rep.
>>11352283RP4P is pretty good but many PS2 games struggle. Some levels of katamari struggled for me even on high performance. The mini meanwhile played those same levels fine on standard.
>>11352392
>>11352409https://tieba.baidu.com/p/9240788017
>>11352412>>11352409>>11352376>>11351015In a world where the Retroid Mini exists, what's the market for his thing? Knowing Anbernic's history it's gonna be like 20% more expensive with half the build quality
>>11352407Huh. The mini is more powerful than the full? What's that about?
>>11352459The Mini was designed to just be a smaller version of the 5, the only reason 5 is gonna launch later and have more ram is because the retroid community asked for it. Beyond that extra 2gb of ram, the mini is effectively a 5
>>11349247Finally, a good OP
>>11352434Anbernic is regarded for their superior build quality in the retro gaming handheld community.
>>11352498>Anbernic is regarded for their superior build quality in the retro gaming handheld community.Maybe a year ago but ever since their XX addiction the QA department's just a single guy at a desk who looks at a system from across the room and goes "yeah looks good"
>>11352498
>>11352515Nah, they'd lost that rep before last year started. Honestly, the fact they undeservedly still had that rep in the rg353 era (2022) is an absolute crime.
>>11352524The rep wasn't great last year but it wasn't awful either. I feel like this year they went from "every now and then it's a stinker but it's worth the gamble" to "lol it may explode idk"
>>11352515>>11352516>>11352524>>11352527Once the Kino35XXSP came out, every other chinkheld company was cooked.
>>11352530>Kino35XXSPThat's literally the "lol it may explode idk" console
>>11352538>the "lol it may explode idk" consoleThat's every chinkheld.
>>11352550The CPU was pressed against the battery, that's not every chinkheld. And Anbernic themselves knew it was a problem cause with the new line of SPs they started putting a barrier between the battery and CPU, and you don't do a revision unless you have reason to believe a problem existed.
>>11352553Just because improvements get made doesn't mean the thing improved upon was seen as an issue.
>>11352538Only explodes on redditors so it's based.
>>11352553NTA but that doesn't mean they knew it was an issue originally until people pointed it out.
>>11352283RP5 is not that much stronger than RP4P. If you want the entire PS2 library you still won't get it. Best to just figure out which games you actually want to play on PS2 then look up RP4P tests. If it doesn't work there chances are it won't work on the RP5 either.Right now the Odin 2 line is the only thing to get you the entire PS2 library without going up to the handheld PC tier.
>>11352746I've seen the RPMini run Shadow of the Colossus at 2x. The RP5 should run almost everything most people actually want to play just fine. Just because Dirge of Cerberus and Need for Speed Detroit aren't playable doesn't mean it isn't a good PS2 machine.
>>11351923>How do mouse inputs work?You can use the screen to control the mouse, not a big deal, one tap to click, tap with two fingers at the same time to right click>bloodstainedCouldn't install the PC version of it using winlator (got stuck installing dependencies) but the switch version worked fine, I even managed to beat the first boss
>>11352774Can't believe I didn't have Bloodstained on my wishlist. Adding it now as it looks badass
>>11352762>Just because PS2 games aren't playable doesn't mean it isn't a good PS2 machine.Shill sisters?
>>11352804>It can run every PS2 game 95% of people want to play on it>but it can't run these 3 niche games 4 people care about>so don't buy it for PS2Retard bros?
>>11352814Gotta spend $400 to run those games bro!
>>11352814>niche gamesAnd I thought my shitpost was disingenuous.
>>11352774>Couldn't install the PC version of it using winlator (got stuck installing dependencies)Hmm that's not a good sign even if most good indie games have switch/android ports by now.Can you test any VNs out? If they work then I'll be happy since I can get over this stupid Deck fomo.
>>11352814Dirge of Cerberus isn't really niche. In fact I'd say it's rather infamous.
>>11352881Hail Weiss! Worst character next to Genesis. As shitty as the story was I wouldn't mind replaying that game on a handheld
>>11352553>The CPU was pressed against the battery, that's not every chinkheld. That is 99.5% of verticals, all the popular ones included, and they didn't blow up.>And Anbernic themselves knew it was a problem cause with the new line of SPs they started putting a barrier between the battery and CPU, and you don't do a revision unless you have reason to believe a problem existed.Fish paper, which is a thermal trap.You retards keep going on about this and ignoring the real problem with the buttons.
>>11353151feels like I caught the issue with the SP buttons one or more weeks before the 'community' noticed, probably because they're busy taking pictures of their crap instead of playing games.
>>11352898This guy with brown hands got in running with these settings:Settings:• GPU Renderer = Software• x1 Resolution• EE Cycle Rate = -1• EE Cycle Skip = 3Looks like some slowdowns during FMVs though.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvn8WATlFJI
>>11353151>the real problem>buttons>not the exploding handheld
>>11353183Brown gamers save the day again
>>11353274Every single one that melted went bad during charging because USB-C charging is wired wrong, there's this kilometric write-up on leddit about the 35xx Plus'. So even if you have a charger that can't handle incorrect USB-C and ends up being fed power by the SP mistaking it for a device, that's solved by just using an A to C cable like you should in the first place. Literally nothing to do with the chip's proximity, which, again, is how virtually every single vertical has worked. Meanwhile, the SP buttons will sink by piercing holes through the membranes -and- the domes before even hitting 100 hours of use. And even though new buttons with rings similar to the originals were made to prevent this, Anbernic just put out new colors with the old buttons mixed in. And no one gives a shit. because you're all dumb tourists looking for something to gossip about.

Can any powkinos confirm that the PLAP 1 btfo'd the rest of the console competition?
>>11352381>faulty console or a faulty cartridgeSo I'm reading this as meaning you only have one game?It's been a while since I've played mine, but there's a bunch of little status icons along the edge. First is if power is on. Second is if the cartridge initialized.https://archive.org/details/booklet_20201231/page/n8/mode/1upPoint your phone with Google Translate at the pages.
How come MuOS no longer has system icons and instead it's just a shitty list?
Is it better to just buy an emulator console or an actual console + games for it? I wanna get back into handhelds but im not sure which to do
>>11353467Actual console for DS, 3DS, Vita, and Switch. Chinkheld for the rest.
>>11353385This is now a clamcell thread. >>11353467Depends on what you want.
Why didn't this defeat Miyoo Mini Plus?
How do I install portmaster on the TSP? Literally nowhere has good instructions.
>>11353350Why is the sp the only one with this reported issue tho
>>11353749Everyone have always complained about how RG35/40 devices will stop working if you charge them with the wrong cable.
>>11352762Why would you get a 16:9 device for ps2/GC?
>>11353467If you have the option to get the real thing, get the real thing especially with handhelds like the DS.
now that I have an android handheld I was thinking of trying san andreas, but is the android version actually salvageable?
Talk me out of getting the Cube XX
>>11353937RG Nano and RGB20SX is better suited for Game Boy, Q36 Mini for Game Gear (if you can find one)
>>11353937What would you need an aspect ratio of 1:1 for?
>>11353987GB/GBC/Gamegear, pixel perfect 3x GBA thanks to the 720x720 screen, it's better for 8:7 NES, and convenient for vertical arcade gamesAll that applies to the RGB30 as well
So is 406H endgame?
RG406H>>11353937It'll be a while before the CFW beggars go public with releases, probably. muOS most definitely, they paywalled 40xx V for weeks. Stock will have the infamous cardinal snapping. Software on h700 is a lot less mature in general. They're still doing the stupid curved edge thing where you can't get a screen protector that'll cover the whole display.You're losing performance and a nominal 300 mah.Kinda torn about it myself, my RGB30 has been acting up, occasionally when I shake it to test my felt padding it goes out, might be the solder on the battery thing coming loose or something worse, I did hamfist this thing at times.
>>11353823Widescreen hacks and PSP
>>11353937Honestly, if the Arc didn't exist, I would've been all over that.>>11354069Yup, that's an enlongated Cube.Shame about d-pad in wrong location + down firing speakers, but the rest looks great. That transparent grey color is fucking awesome.
>>11353817Stop working is quite a different level from exploding.
>>11353419You can just get a cheap Walmart stick for around the same price and put RetroArch on it, better yet just install it on your existing Fire TV/Stick
completely unrelated companies btw.

>he bought a cube
>>11354069Nice to see them not kneel to dpadfags who were never buying it anyway
>>11354338Wait these things can emulate retro games? Can it play ps1? I have a google Chromecast lying around I could repurpose.

>>11353502Well hhg? Did you forget her?
>>11354414Why didn't this take off like the RG35XXSP?
>>11354418it did?? that thing is 5 years old.
>>11354418It did. It's one of powkiddy's best sellers.
>>11354406>GameCubeThe N64/WiiU of the 6th console generation.

I wonder why Yokoi decided to have Bandai make his final brain child, the Wonderswan and, by extension, the Wonderswan Color, instead of either Sanrio or Takara Tomy?
>>11354472>why have the guy who helped make the most successful handheld at the timeThis is one of those baffling mysteries that we will probably never understand the real reasons for
>>11354361The og cube is based anon.
>>11354515wish I could pair XX Cube's d-pad position with OG Cube's chip and sparkly fuchsia color.
>>11354493I meant Why did he, Gunpei Yokoi, choose to have his last major brainchild, the Wondswan, go with Bandai instead of Funrise, or Takara Tomy?
>>11354538He didn't. Bandai was the one that commisioned him to make the WonderSwan.
>>11354538Yes but consider this: I'm retarded and didn't read the question properly. But it's like >>11354551 said.
>>11352381Wonderswan won't boot without a cartridge in it. Try another game and check your cart slot as well
Just blow on it then smack it, works every time.
>>11354586Works on my girlfriend at least. Carts and consoles tend to end up corroded from that sort of treatment.
>>11354515enjoy your light bleed
Figured I would ask here, what is the best controller for emulating retro platformers? Has to have dpad on top.
>>11354716I like my Retrobit Saturn controller for that and everything else desu. Unfortunately they don't sell that new anymore, just the Pro variant which doesn't have as nice of a shape. 8bitdo M30 might be a good alternative if you want to buy new.
>>11354716What system anonJust buy the USB/Bluetooth/2.4ghz version of the controller>>11354734Big6 is better but unfortunately no Bluetooth
>>11354759I bet the Big6 is good, but I have to admit I'm already partial to the MD banana.
>>11354716Dualshock 4
>>11352409 should've been out 4+ months ago instead of rushing the >cube out of spite.
>>11354271Play Original hardware nintendo games It does not cause problems .Play Nintendo games on chink e-waste It's a problem
>>11354993Switch games sure, you got a point, but if we're talking ancient gameboy games or hell even DS games, who is actually harmed except the user? Its not like Nintendo is actively selling Gameboy or DS games or units anymore. If you authentic gameboys or ds off Ebay along with some real games its not like Nintendo sees a cent of the money you spent.
>>11355009I'm not saying you're not right. I'm just saying the criterio Nintendo is using to put strickes into the channels.
>>11353823What else would one use a computer for?
>>11353467Ordered by musthaveness:DSi XL > 3DS > Vita > SwitchDSi XL is the best way to play DS games, and importing Japanese LL will give you near mint console for dirt cheap, just avoid the discolored/yellowed screensn3DS is not worth the price difference vs o3DS, and GBA runs natively on bothVita includes PSP except for the TV out (which is only good for PS1 games anyway)Switch 2 is backwards compatible if you insist on buying games (buy physical at least), and hacking a Switch 1 is neither free nor easy; buy used and/or hacked if you must
>>11354716NOT this.
>>11355059>except for the TV outCan confirm, played Vita TV once and the framerate is a lot more noticeable on the big screen. >Switch 2 is backwards compatible>Switch 2Wut
>>11355093>mom said it's MY turn to create man made horrors beyond our comprehension!
>>11355097Why would you think otherwise?https://gbatemp.net/threads/industry-leaker-claims-that-the-nintendo-switch-2-will-have-backwards-compatibility-support.660426/Also, any phone can emulate PSP and Vita doesn't have enough exclusives on its own, so it isn't really a must have. Still worth more than a Switch 1, since it's an actually portable handheld at least.
>>11355113Why are we talking about an unconfirmed 10th gen console though?>but leakers-But nothing, leakers have been shit for years.
>>11355116NTA but ignoring any "leaks" it's a given that Switch 2 will be backwards compatible. Nintendo's handhelds have always been compatible with the previous generation, as well as the Wii and Wii U, and backwards compatibility is now a staple of major consoles, with the PS5 and Series X/S being BC. With the popularity of the Switch 1 and the fact that they're still throwing out major releases for it, it'd be shocking if the 2 couldn't play 1 games
>>11355130I'm not doubting the logic, I'm just saying it's retarded to rely on leakers and it's kind of pointless to say anything about Switch 2 in the conversation's context aside from putting Switch in your ranking and just saying something like "but it might be worth waiting for Switch 2 rather than buying a Switch unless you really need to play Switch games now" which if they really need to anyway then they can always play on PC while waiting for Switch 2.
>>11355093Jesus Christ
I wish I wasnt a consooomer, because I saw some people selling used powkiddy X18s's for $90 and I'll be damned if it isn't a tempting offer. I really wish there were companies that understood how large the demand was for clamshell Android devices; you don't need to put a fucking Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 in the thing, even something on par with a D900 at minimum or a D1100 would be fine. Especially as new chips arrive next year.>>11355093The Wii U pro controller is really bizarre design-wise. It still works and it has a super long battery life, but one really can't help but wonder what the fuck Nintendo was thinking.
>>11355235Just get a Shield
>>11355170At worst, it'll just need CFW to do it like GBA CIAs for the 3DS.
>>11354414I wish they would update her with a better screen and stronger chipset, they were close with the V10
fucking hell tried install syncthing for my pc/rg35xxh with knulli. fucking pain in the ass, I got it working but it completely fucked the savestate manager (which I actually use) with knulli. so now I got to launch a savestate from savestate manager and it doesn't launch into it, still have to use the state load hotkey. annoying as hell.
>>11355304and now it launches into said state but the default slot is -1 (auto) and I want it to be slot 0. fuck!!
>>11355307okay i changed the state_slot = "0" in gba cfg which was the only one that was doing it fucking hell!
Master System and Game Gear games play well on a phone.
>>11355093Good God, I haven't seen one of those in a decade. Good fucking riddance, what a piece of shit. Even a $10 SNES pad knockoff is better than that trash
>>11355304>>11355307>>11355314Never had this problem in muOS.
>>11355337Please. If the SNES controller came out today all of you would be shilling some 3D printed grips for it on etsy, this is no different.
>>11355235Even if the D1100/SD 865 power level is finally arrived at by clamshell, I still feel this form has been unfairly maligned and denied the same chips and variation as other form factors.
>>11355393
>>11355235Powkiddy’s doing a x18s sequel. The chip just hasn’t been decided yet. It also sounds like controls are still being improved based on the insider that posts here.>>11355393>No 3326 so clamshell. Other companies were THAT scared of the v90>Powkiddy didn’t bank on a horizontal 3326 clamcell because the v90 sold that well. (On top of the x18s being cheap when they still sold it)>Gpd kills the xd line In favor of some meme moba friendly shit. Still failed in China>Retroid flop could’ve been better than the x18s in every way.>Sliders, awful hinge, no android function buttons so you don’t have to use the screen
>>11353696Crossmix already comes with it installed. So use that.
I want an handheld that weighs less than 300gm and has X86 CPU to run games on steam trough Linux, everything else is ewaste
>>11355037I'm asking why you would want black bars on 4:3 games? I suppose you could use widescreen hacks but they don't always work.Wouldn't it be better to play 4:3 games on a 4:3 device?Even on my PC my second monitor is a 5:4 screen and it makes the experience better for older emulation
>>11355701RP5 has more screen estate for 4:3 than the Mini.
>>11355618Air lites are 400g. Those are the lightest I can think of off the top of my head.
>>11355704And it also has more black bars
>>11355701There are ps2 games that have widescreen support.
retroid-sisters... I think I might cancel my rp5.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv50S7oXX08
>>11355846Saw that coming.That said, he's wrong about Snapdragon not being needed or not gaining performance on the D1200.>never had Dolphin crash on me on other devicesFull of shit.
>>11355846Some of his complaints seem either dumb or specific to his device maybe but that glass front really does look annoying, holy shit. Honestly kinda ruins the whole appeal of an OLED screen when you have constant glare and reflections on the front.
>>11355846>doesn't understand how fighting games and d-pad tests are relevantCertified retard. Which is unfortunate as it bogs down his complaints, and god knows we need someone critical about design flaws.
>>11355846RP5 is literally perfect though. The RP mini is the beta test version.
>>11349247>Miyoo (One hit wonder)What does the sticky mean by one hit wonder? That there's only one good model?
>>11355931More like they only did it right once
>>11355846>nice clicky buttons>THESE FUCKING BUTTONS ARE SUPER LOUDI hate youtubers.
>>11355931If you search up miyoo chances are you'll only ever see discussion of one of their products.
>>11355931Mini blew up in popularity, then they teased the P60 and never released it, then the A30 was released but it was ass and had to be priced aggressively, and they've been sitting on the Flip pending cancelation for like a year now.
>>11355931Miyoo Mini was a huge hit and got insanely popular but it's all they've ever succeeded at. Everything else either sucked or is in development hell and probably cancelled.
>>11355978Their previous devices did do well. (Both bittboy's, pocketgo, pocketgo 2) The miyoo mini is just an evolution of the emuheld bittboy. That said, the pocketgo s30 was their first acutal failure and halted their horizontal plans for a couple of years.
>>11356000The S30 actually had a lot of potential, shame how it turned out.
It's official. I canceled my rp5 order.
>>11356008Thanks for updating us. I'll change my records to reflect that.
>>11356008Its probably for the best to skip this year's Retroid devices. Between adding unnecessary glass displays to what could've been AYN/Retroid's kick ass value devices, the delays to add 8gb to the device, let other people be the beta testers.
>>11356008Good move

>>11356008I've been thinking about doing this a lot lately. I'm like 70% convinced I'm just going to turn around flip it on eBay within a month if I don't.
The hype is real for Chromatic
>>11356303The hype is fabricated. No one needs another fpgba machine.
>>11356303>more Gameboy FPGA shit like the Anal LogWhy can't they actually do something interesting with FPGA for once?
>>11356331How about this anon, a system like the GBA...but FPGA! How crazy is that?!
>>11356351At least then we'd get a horizontal or clamshell instead of more vertislop.
>>11356006Miyoo normally has good face buttons, but small face buttons on a device shaped like an snes controller looks weird as shit>>11356357Sp shaped clamshells are verticals.
Thoughts on the RG353V?
>>11356560>anbernicTrash. There's a reason the people who buy their devices have 10+ handhelds gathering dust on a shelf somewhere. Get a retroid, odin, or steamdeck OLED. Everything else is just burning money on your journey to the same destination only to realize how much time and money you wasted along the way.
>>11355973The Miyoo Flip will come, either by November or December, maybe early next year. I see Miyoo Flip as a kind of mixed bag at best. It appears to be better than anything from DataFrog/Game Console, and the a30 and maybe even the v90 R36s, and q90
>>11356691>anbernic is trashDefinitely they are now way more often than not.
>>11356706Portmaster can be neat I guess. But sticks on a vertical clamshell seems like a stupid idea
>>11356713Maybe, I M O the sticks of the Miyoo Flip are too low in their position. maybe move them up1.5-1.75" inches from their current position, along with definitely not being so cheap with the hinge as anbernic was with the RG35XXSP. How about Portmaster on the Powkiddy RGB20SX?
This is going to take fucking forever. Where would be a safe point to assume the drive is genuine? 100GB? 200GB? I doubt somebody would use a higher capacity then that in a scam as they want to make money.
Should I build a Frog Boy Color?
>>11356818I mean, yeah if you’re gay.
>>11356823Stop being a snarky little faggot and talk normally.
>>11356825Sorry. What I meant was you should absolutely build a Frog Boy Color if you’re homosexual.
>>11356818My dear anon, I do believe that that would be an absolutely wonderful idea, especially so if you so happen to regularly engage in anal sex with a male partner.
>>11356713They should be sliders instead.
>>11356818But why? A metal shell just for a Game boy?
Still happily married after almost 2 years. Does everything I need, is very comfortable, and is built to last.
>>11356998Woah, cool it with the homophobia dude.
>>11355701Ok, hear me out.Every road should be single lane and in one direction only, wouldn't that be better?
>>11355720But at least they didn't charge extra for them.
>>11355931Ambernic capitalized on how slow Miyoo's R&D was and released every single handheld ergonomics you could ever want with the same chipset allowing you to emulate most systems for a cheap price. At this point it isnt: buy a miyoo mini or a RG35XX, it's go find a RGXX series with the handheld format you prefer like a clamshell or a saturn controller and get whatever fits your hands the best.
I'm really torn between getting the Retroid Mini or the Cube XX. I don't know if the extra $140 is worth n64 ps2 and gamecube.
>>11357062Do they have a form like this?
>>11357147Do you think you will actually play a 40 hour ps2 game on the mini's screen?
I bought the RG35xxsp because it came with a beautiful red clamshell. Lent it to my sister and now it's hers.I already have a steam deck, but I thought bringing around a device I'm not afraid to lose or break for some trips would be nice. Should I buy another one for myself, or pick the ones with thumbsticks? I want to play PS1 games that's been on my backlog for a couple of decades now. For my PS2 backlog there's my steam deck.Retroid flip looks great too and comes in red, but it's a bit too expensive for my use case.
>>11357208If Retroid made a sequel to it but less cheap looking you'd buy that, right?
>>11357147Similar to what the other anon said but if you already have a chinkheld, how many games have you actually beaten on it? How often do you sit down and seriously game with it? That should help you answer your question.
>>11357208Retroid Flip is essentially a clamshell RP3+ iirc, but it's hinges are so infamously bad that you're lucky the price drove you away.
>>11357217If it's less cheaply constructed, or just cheaper, maybe? I'm a sucker for clamshells. I'd feel less guilty breaking an ambernic than a retroid.>>11357231Sounds about right. The games it can run is only barely better than the ambernic stuff and it's price half an LCD steam deck.
>>11356560Overpriced, d-pad is mediocre, sticks are kinda useless.>>11356765To the end. Buy a decent SD reader.
>>11357270I'd just get an SP. Been playing Spyro 3 and SaGa Frontier 2 as well as that MegaMan Legends 2 demo on mine and it's been a good time so far. Spyro drops frames in a few areas with lots of stuff on screen and I can't get the FF7 Survivor romhack to run (while conversely, Tail Concerto runs when it didn't on my RP4P) but other than that I don't have anything against its PS1 emulation. GB/A games "just feel right" on it but that's nostalgia, also the filter on GBA looks pretty bad imo so it's worth disabling the Override in the RetroArch menu to get rid of it. I don't know if you ever had a GBA SP but I do and this scratches that "wouldn't it be so cool to be able to play [console] on my GBA?" itch like you wouldn't believe. I still go back to the RP4P for anything above PS1 but you have a Deck for that. You can't really count on durability when it comes to chinkhelds but while I sound like a total shill, SP is probably a decent compromise between build quality, functionality, and especially price. I got the old RK2023s which are barely more performant than the SP at way higher of a price and while RP2S and RG405M shit on all of them, 2S's sticks stick out too much to be comfortably pocketable and while I'd recommend the 405M, it's probably more expensive than you'd want and has worse triggers.
>>11356823>>11356904>>11357040Why are (you) like this
>>11357150Anbernic can try, but it will be a repurposed Win600, right down to using a 3050e and single channel RAM.
>>11357319>Anbernic can try, but it will be kino.KINOOOOOOOOOO
>>11357329They'd probably do this, but with big analog sticks that screw-on and bolt to the back/sides when not in use in order to close the lid.
>>11357347I can only get so erect
>>11357315I thought about portability and the RG28xx looks tiny. I'm not sure if it's good ergonomically, but it probably fits in my pocket. Just whip it out any time.Clamshells are still sexy though.
>>11357347What's even the use case of this thing?
>>11357395Taking pictures of it to post on r/chinkhelds.
>>11357413Fuck dude, the other day I got bored and took a peek into that dump and I shit you not, first thread I see was a guy saying he collected too many of those and it was finally time to beat a game. You'll never guess the game and the handheld pictured.
>>11357451Fucking kek, it's not a stereotype for no reason.
>>11357382Looks painful for adult hands and personally I don't like the idea of any screen under 3.5in unless it's just old handheld games.
>>11357467It gets worse.
>>11357487>normal person finds out game he likes has way more content, gets stoked>redditor finds out the game he slogged through past the title screen is only half over, criesJust Anal Log things
What's recommended for low end stuff like GBA and older?
>>11357562If you’re going to play mostly gba, take a look at the Powkiddy V10
>>11357616Thanks, would you say it's better for GBA than the Miyoo Mini Plus?
>>11357623It’s got the right aspect ratio, perfect 2x scale pixel count, and the picture will definitely be bigger. The device is wider than the MM+ so just a heads up
>>11357628Yeah I saw that, I'd like to play GB too but the Miyoo looks like a better ratio for that, I suppose you can't have a perfect ratio for GB and GBA
