Reposting my Retroid Mini tests here since last thread was already near dead when I first posted em. >>11368054Xenosaga II, seemed to run perfectly fine:https://youtu.be/JT160OtdNOc [Embed]Nightshade unfortunately struggled:https://youtu.be/Bd0pgchCLkg [Embed]>>11368173Gonna keep it real with you, the gyro on this thing isn't great, probably made worse by this being a handheld and not just a controller, so I didn't do gyro tests. For that same reason, tested the PS2 port of Shattered Memories instead. Also didn't have the chance to get to Revelations 2 cause Switch games are a hassle to download these days.Ape Escape 3:https://youtu.be/840FE7hqfrE [Embed]Enthusia:https://youtu.be/GKXLFmShwKc [Embed]Silent Hill: Shattered Memories:https://youtu.be/CKHVdri3WOU [Embed]Resident Evil: Revelations:https://youtu.be/9C_GMzYCbdU [Embed]Alien Isolation for Android:https://youtu.be/Xo_MnBO7uGk [Embed]
>>11368928It is a bit early for such a slow board, but honestly as long as we've hit bump limit I don't really care personally.
Any reviewers try xbox on the r5 yet? Joey's switch and wii u videos are s little disappointing. I am going to tr h cemu tonight on my r4p, but some redditor claims he got hyrule warriors working on it while Joey couldn't get it running on the 5.
>>11368939Not the RP5, but someone did a bunch of tests on the Mini. It's basically identical specs minus 2gb of ram so it'll give a general idea what to expect:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtZKzzWysw8https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUusI_UO7Iw
>>11368941>plays a minigame in doa beach volleyball instead of any volleyball sections
>>11368947Let's be honest with ourselves, DOAX isn't a vollyball game, it's a dating sim where you sometimes watch big titty girls jump up and down while playing volleyball. He's playing as intended kek
>>11368923>buy an R36S>doesn't come with the 128GB rom card despite having paid for that option>buy a Sandisk 256GB microSD card to fill with roms>format it>put it on the R36S' TF2 slot>doesn't detect the SD card>also no refunds>realize that plebbit made a dubious list of compatible SD card brands>ordered a 128GB Samsung EVO SDXC and it will arrive in 1 weekhow fucked am I?
>>11369001>try to outchink chinks>get chinked even harderrorrumao
>>11368951I imagine Wii would work fine for Shattered Memories, probably better than PS2 actually. And while there's no "default" binds for simulating wiimote functions, you can bind pretty much every movement and the options are very flexible.
>>11369001Sandisk, Lexar, Amazon and Kingston card don't work.
>>11369001>he fell for the sandisk meme
Micro SD cards fucking suck, when are we going to get something better to replace them?
>>11369013fug, I guess I have to eat it and face whatever happens to the Samsung card on my R36S.Thinking on buying another Samsung for the OS if the other for roms ends up working.
>>11369001Have you heard of gigastone? Fair price, good quality. I use SanDisk too, but I've had no problems with gigastone either. SanDisk for the OS and gigastone for the roms. I use gigastone for my 2ds, n3dsxl, vita, PSP and I have think my 64ed too.
Finally, the IPS trinity
>>11369065So the issue only afftects the TF2 slot? I guess I'll try using the Sandisk for the OS after doing the backup, then.
>>11369123I just picked up a gameboy sp im going to mod
I propose we add a new level of pocketability for handhelds the size of the RP5 and O2Mini called "pocketable but may stick out of the top of your pocket and look awkward"
>>11369165
>>11369138I don't know, I don't think I tried the SanDisk in slot 2, but that would sound about right for a chonkheld. Also, did you use Rufus 4.5 to setup your sd card with the updated arkos fan patch?
>>11369208Also did you go into settings and switch to sd2 for roms?
>>11369123I always liked the SFC themed GBA shell
What do dumb youtube reviewers have against the RG35XX+?
did anbernic ever do the dual screen handheld or is it just chink vaporware?
>>11369001You sure it's original? Sandisk cards are the most pirated ones.
>>11369494shit dpad, or was that fixed in the + ?
>>11369535Yeah, the Plus has a nice d-pad.
>>11369494Doesn't really stand out which is bad for reviewers. It just exists and does its job.Also people get filtered by vertikino.
>>11369540The thing is that they recommend the MM+ over it, even though the RG35XX+ is basically an improved version of it. I have both, so I can say.
>>11369541Is it? What makes the Anbernic better?
>>11369546>Better screen>Better audio>Slight bigger, so better to hold, but just as portable>d-pad is further away from the face buttonsFor me this was a big problem on the MM+, because I press buttons with the middle of my thumbs, and because the d-pad and face buttons were so close together I would keep bumping my thumbs, and sometimes scratching one another with my nails. This doesn't happen to me on the RG35XX+, since the d-pad and face buttons are more separated.>Better shoulder buttonsCrash Team Racing is a game that makes high use of shoulder buttons, and the MM+ ones were awful, I had to hold them really hard, or they would keep "unpressing" and fucking everything up. And that's without mentioning how uncomfortable it was to press these buttons constantly on a device I could barely hold. I can play this game just fine on the RG35XX+.>more horsepowerWith this I can apply shaders, input lag reduction, run a few more systems, Portmaster, etc.>Real time clock, and Bluetooth support>"b-but Onion OS!"muOS is getting very close of being as goodNow something I prefer on the MM+ is the battery lid, the one on the 35XX+ (at least on mine) has a slightly uneven bottom part, and doesn't fit perfectly, it keeps sticking out a little. Also, after a while I could hear and feel the battery moving inside when I shaked the device, I fixed this by putting a little piece of paper to fill the space.
Still.The.Best.
>cozy Vita form factor>plays up to GBA and some SNES>4:3 aspect ratio>thicc bezel>no glass frontPMPchads rise up (UUUUUUUUUUUP)
>>11369495I think that's just still vaporware, or still a bunch of scribbles that Max Zhou threw into the trash.He'll probably wait until another company does it.
>>11369718what's the point?
>>11369718based 1:1 killer
>>11369057NTA but how is a longstanding, reputable brand a meme? I've been exclusively using Sandisk for all SD cards since the early 2000s and they've never failed on me or caused any problems. In the early days they were so synonymous with SD cards that I actually thought "SD card" meant "Sandisk card."
Smallest handheld to get easily? It seems all the ones I like are discontinued or some shit
>>11369784Trimui Model S is still easy to find and order on Ali. I have no idea how small you're trying to go tho.
>>11369784the smallest I would go would be the 'nig rg28xx desu
What's the cheapest handheld that can run Ace Combat 4 and 5?
>>113698562 more weeks, trust the plan.
>>11369847why did they do it
>>11369787>I have no idea how small you're trying to go tho.Oh, sorry. Thanks for replying. Something about the size of a card wallet/iPhone mini. I wanted a pocket flip, which is only slightly larger, but that looks discontinued as of last year.I'll look into this Trimui thing, tho, thanks
>>11369847>VIDEO GAMEVIDEOGAME
>>11369847Where's the glass front?
>>11368926what did you use to record these?
>>11369847Retroid Pocket 6 is looking good
>>11369856So it's delayed to December?
>>11369856unreal how much they are delaying this shit
>>11369943They really messed up hard with all these delays. They just gave Anbernic another opportunity to sell more units during Singles Day, when the Flip comes out it will cost too much to be attractive in comparison.
>>11369718>rotating 1:1genius
As the absolute genius that predicted RP5 would get delayed again at the beginning of last month, I have a new prophecy: they will announce another delay next week a day or two before it's supposed to ship.
The flop is not releasing. To be more precise, what you'd think of the "flop" as something worth considering purchasing in the year 24 + 2000 is never going to see the light of day. You see, Miyoo is more or less finished. However, they have a cult of plebbitors that are trickier to cash out on than raw assets.So they're delaying the flop to build expectation, while at the same time tanking their stock. One good day, a massive amount of miyoo stock will be bought moments before miyoo flops start showing up on Ali unannounced. By the time cringetubers get their hands on what appear to be reshelled v90s with the worst firmware known to man, miyoo HQ will long have ceased to exist. I know a pump and dump when I see one.
>>11370145They'll probably just fuck up the colors again
>>11369847nevermind the retard rgb rings nor the aped trimui menulook at that "ALL GAMES" iconi don't know if an AI or a gook shat that out and it doesn't particularly matter. however a human (by some definitions of the term), took that abomination, gave it a filename, and put it on that UIthat whole process implied staring at it for non-trivial amounts of time without ever thinking "hey this looks like shit"I thought that train of thought was interesting
>>11369847M22p by sjgam. Hard to tell if an acutal clone on the software side or another rk3566, but there appears to be a power switch like the other sjgam handhelds so porbably that again with 2gb of ram instead of 1. >>11370158Sjgam's history is pretty interesting. They started with an ultra cheap rockchip that didn't cost anything for a handheld that isnt too bad before receiving 3566's for ultra cheap in handhelds with inconsistent designs and psp screens. Compared to other companies, they shot up pretty fast.
>>11370148They're planning on releasing a vertical with the same chip 3566 as the flop. (Before the flop, though) They have chip deals, they're just super incompetent.
>>11368941Xemu is on Android? Or is this some weird Linux fork?
>>11370175How does this one fare against the M17?
>>11370197ROCKNIX
>>11369057I have never had a sandisk SD card or USB drive fuck up on me.
>>11368923
Am I gonna regret buying the RP5?
I'm a brainlet. Where do you get the bios? The anbernic SD card that came with mine had a bunch of 0kb files. I think those aren't it since there's literally no bytes in them.
>>11370828>Using the card that came with your system.Throw that shit out, it's going to corrupt on you in a few months.To answer your quest: Google it. You can get full BIOS packs just by Googling something like "Emulator bios download" and finding links. There's a few open source ones made specifically for Retroarch otherwise just find a pack of all the BIOS files in general.
>>11369856Holy fucking shit lmfao, I haven't been keeping a heavy eye on this scene and I thought the Flip released months ago. What's the hold up?
I want a 2.4 inch RG Nano Plus
I'm buying an OLED Deck when they release here on the 19th, I hope Gamecube at 2x runs nicely.Beyond that it should do everything else I care about.
>>11370925How is that a video game?
>>11370975Apparently there is a Tetris version now which is nice because these are super comfy
GBA bros.Why is the red light showing on my GBA when I just inserted in some freshly charged eneloop pros?Is there something wrong with the power?
>>11371031Backlight modded?
>>11371040ITA
>>11371042I heard the backlight usually kills the battery but idk, it could possibly be the batteries
>>11371046Idk I don't think so as it still plays for about a good solid 9 hours.
>>11371060It's a power switch problem. Either solder a new one or use some ipa on a q tip and flick the switch a lot to clean it out.
>>11371031The body is rejecting the transplant.
Anons roughly how long does it take to complete this game? Talking as a first-time player, here. I want a short game and I don't know if this will be it.
>>11371082sorry, am an retard
>>11370823If you have a 4pro, yes. Otherwise probably not.
In theory could people just put the Chromatic's backlit native res screen into a real game boy color?
>>11371069I just IPA'd the power switch then moved the peg quite a lot. Waited a while till it was dry inside. It's only showing green now so here's hoping that fixed it.
>>11369123That gameboy pocket looks pretty sweet.People only mod ags-001 sp's right? I hope people don't mod 101's.
>>11371267There's generally no 'need' to mod 101s as people tend to mod the SP to add a backlit screen and 101s are far more expensive on the second hand market.Probably an odd few who re-shell them though
Why did nobody tell me the Digimon games are so cool? Way better than PokeymemeAlso why are there literal troon ads everywhere
>>11371267Most people don't mod 101's due to the cost and there's no real need. We have aftermarket IPS screens now that are better than the 101 so people typically use the one they grew up with and reshell it with said screen or take a dead one and do the same. You can't really get OEM shells anymore and if yours has enough damage you may as well reshell it while swapping the screen out.
>b-but muh Deck!More like, Steam KEKEnjoy your... Steamed HAMS! TOP KEK!!!
>>11371439oh no no no nintensissies i don't feel so good...
Did a test with a cutout matching the RP5 length and my TSP. This really shouldn't bother me as much as it does but I guess I'm autistic.
>>11371519
>>11371519Kek. I drew an oval measured out to the height and width of the RP5 on a piece of paper. I like to autistically hold it sometimes and pretend like I'm holding the RP5.
Is there a good clamshell that isn't a fire hazard yet?
>>11371408If you stop clicking on them, they might stop advertising.>>11371553Soonish

>>11371729Depends on what (You) want to play but I'll say anything mini it's a meme

Best handheld for $50 from Amazon>order from Aliexpress"No"
Have a weird sort of cognitive dissonance going on right now. I'm looking forward to getting to my RP5 and think it'll be good overall, but I'm also finding the jewtube reviews released today absolutely insufferable with how much they're sucking it off. It's not like I even suspect anything they're saying is wrong.
>>11371787>"No"Why are you willingly wasting money for no reason? You get free shipping and if you live in the US it will come as fast as Amazon unless you're a Prime subscriber. The source is literally the same, the Amazon sellers are all dropshippers outside of the official stores that occasionally sell there.
>>11371793"No"
>>11371729>>11369658>>11369847
>>11371787The equivalent best handheld for ~$20 from Ali. So probably the SF2000.Amazon has to honor warranty policies to operate in the EU and there's no way they can meaningfully implement it for shithelds, let alone within the timeframe standard they've set themselvesso basically the "warranty" you get from them is paying for two chinkhelds, the expectation being that 90% of the time you won't need it to use it. And for the other 10%, when you send it in for "repairs", they just send you the second one.
rg nano is $20something with coupons rn
>>11371787Check out the RG300 and RG300X, anon
>>11371882Reasonable price for a decorative keychain
>>11371729RPMini if you want or don't mind the 4:3/3.7 inch screen and want absolute 100% pocketability. RP5 otherwise.
>>11368923still more portable than the steam deck
>>11371031probably just measuring voltage if alkaline makes it green
What does hhg think of tech dweeb? Is he our guy?There's something kinda comfy about his stereotypical basement dweller voice, doesn't have cuck vibes like Russ' does imo
>>11371991Cringekino
>>11371991Why does he sound like that though?
>>11371907I got three for $10
>>11372005So valid sister
>>11371991I don't watch any of these reviewers anymore honestly
>>11371998To be memorable.You'll remember his voice and antics more than Russ's "hi, I live in hawaii and all these companies send me free handhelds to play with while I go on vacation to italy. Life is hard."Also since I know that's an act I can focus more on the review part of the review.
>>11371998I thought he was putting it on at first but I think he might actually sound like that. Could be some weird nose thing like psychicpebbles has.>>11372012I don't really even pay attention to his "review" opinions, I just find his vids comfy. It helps that the shill factor isn't as saturated as the colors he uses.
>>11372018He tweets every time he gets a shot, I'm surprised he isn't reeing about his wife not being able to abort
Why is Quick Push so addictive /vr/osMade it up to level 69 just now

>>11372062Alucard flying by squatting in midair
>>11372062Anon is going for the Any% and found a new speed glitch
>>11371729Neither- get the true pocket king, the new Odin clamshell/Steam clamshell.
>>11372148>steamdeck clamshellI fucking wish
ebin
>>11371998He probably has a naturally nasally voice, and then exaggerates it as part of his kayfabe so you can’t tell how annoying his actual voice is. I’ll take him over Zu Reviews any day.
>>11372031I think she wants a brown baby..
>>11372148Reminds me, the miyoo clamshell is supposed to come out one of these days
>>11371991I like the attention he gives to DOS games. That's basically it though.
When is the DS phat getting screen mods? That would be the ultimate endgame handheld
>>11372178Why does Miyooshit look like Powkiddyshit now? They used to have top-notch build quality
>>11372185I mean it's a prototype from like half a year ago
https://youtu.be/OwWRCrGoXV0>hey a steam os-like is out for windows handhelds>let's do a whole vid testing it on the least important, worst windows handheld
>>11372178>Switch style sticks Hate this meme
>>11372189Is this video why everyone's talking about bazzite now? Or did someone else start it? I knew about it before but it seems like in the last week lots more anons became aware of it.
>>11371991I don't really like any of these kinds of channels. It's a flooded market, none of them do a proper in-depth look at chinkhelds and so many of them oversell performance. Not to mention the least any of them could do it have a save file for games they regularly show off at somewhere in the middle of the game which is a better indicator of general performance than the title screen and tutorial area.
>>11371991constant shilling, never negative, basically Ross with more editingonly one I watch is joey since I know he ain't just shilling me and actually hates shit
>>11371991I enjoy his stuff. While he has the same positive shilling of everyone else it at least feels like he's making actual content around it, with at least minimal effort put in. Also more/better videos about broader topics instead of JUST reviewing the latest handheld again and again. And while he doesn't criticize shit, I feel he does a good job at of explaining why he likes what he likes for roundups or post-release-window discussions of devices.Just seems like he cares unlike every other one of these fucking channels.>>11372024It's way more extreme at the start of every video then mellows out. He's definitely playing it up.
>>11372178>>11372203>sticks on a handheld
>>11371991I hate the way he moves his hands and taps on everything, the stupid sleeves don’t help either
You don't need anything more than a RG35XX Plus or TrimUI Smart Pro desu.Any Emulators past PS1 suck balls and require more power, which then you are getting into Steam Deck territory.
>>11372267How does this invalidate the ~$200 bracket, which have the power for those tougher emulators but are still less than half the price and size of a steam deck? Hell less than a third the price for one with a decent screen assuming the pocket 5 isn't garbage.
>>11372178>>11372203>>11372260Honestly the 3ds analog slider would work so much better on these smaller handhelds. Playing 3d platformers with em unironically felt good. "real" sticks on hh that size never feel comfortable, even back when some would use the vita sticks.
>>11372205>oversell performanceI hate this so much, especially with Russ."yeah you're gunna be able to run any n64 on this thing">struggles running anything other than the same 5 n64 games everyone testsReminds me of how etaprime would review $200 celeron notebooks with 4gb ram and a mechanical hdd from Walmart and be like "yeah you should buy this it has no problem running pcsx2 at 4x res"
>>11372291My favorite is>bro it runs well if you turn on high frameskip
>>11372286Yeah but people are retarded and hate it for no reason. Also there aren't a millions of them lying around shenzen waiting to be slapped on every retro handheld.Also I maintain that the circlepad was better once it broke, and you just had a little nub you slid around. There's a lot of development you can do with the concept.
>>11372295I die inside everytime he whips out SA2 with that line. Only normies would be OK with frameskip, and they wouldn't be messing with chinkhelds to begin with.
>>11372298So like the C stick nub on the n3ds then? I wouldn't mind those on small form factor HH either
>>11372305Nah, I mean the circlepad but rather than a flat rubber disc you have to push down on to get friction to push it sideways, you have a rough plastic nub that kind of sinks into your thumb so it's easy to move around.The original 3DS circlepad would often snap off like this, and it actively made the console better except for the dust ingress problem.
>>11372276You can get a Steam Deck off eBay for like $300 these days. Theres no reason for the $200 android phone bracket.
>>11372336$100 isn't a small difference.
>>11372336$100 difference is not irrelevant, nor is new vs used difference, nor is the size difference.
>>11372236anyone can make up shit to like about somethingIt's beautifully round, I love the texture and the brown color really makes it pop, it also feels nice and firm, I could touch this for hours and be fineI just described my turd, copy paste to every review dweeb doesHe's eta prime with a clothespin on his nose
How long till they release an RP5 pro
>>11372458They promised they wouldn't
>>11372458I believe it far more likely we'll see a RP5 mini pro with a 4 inch display, and possibly a display upgrade kit for the mini since nobody will ever shut up about it. Any other internal upgrades will probably go towards the RP6 (when they get rid of the glass front)
>>113724634 inch AMOLED screens simply don't exist
>>11372458
>>11372465
>>11372468
>>11372465>Double-hinge danger>>11372468>One normal dpad, one hybrid analog dpad.>>11372469>Right stick combined/replaced with trackwheel.
>>11372336Shouldn't you be comparing a used LCD deck to a used LCD handheld?And yeah, you can get a retroid pocket 4 or 4 pro for $150 easily, likely less once the 5 actually goes out.
>>11371528I was so on the fence between the rp4p and rp5 i printed both of them to see the screen size lol
>>11370839I'm using my own card and flashed to MUOS. Found the bios before checking the thread lol.
>>11371991Why does he wear arm warmers though? Is he gay
>>11372579Nice. If I had a 3d printer I feel like my house would be filled with models of various devices as I try to decide which one to buy.But I don't so I have to make do with paper cutouts

Has the anbernic rg arc d gotten cfw yet? Ports don't seem to work on stock
Pc/homebrew ports that is.
>>11372754It has Retro Arena, Rocknix, and GammaOS. iirc muOS is also working on something but no release yet.
>>11372770Whats the most user friendly?
>>11372336First of all $100 is pretty big for anyone not rich and comparing used handhelds to used will blow the Deck out of the water any time. I can find RP4P for $140 in my FB listings.
>>11372375It is if you voted red
>>11372790Rocknix for linux (Portmaster, faster boot, less input delay) or gamma for android.(Native ports, Easy multiplayer and achievement setup)
Is there any firmware besides Lakka that just boots straight into retroarch?I hate the other frontends
Reminder if you're a dpad on top chad to get the RP5 because the 6 will have it on the bottom since people won't shut up about it and there isn't much else left to change in the next iteration to make it feel new.
>>11372790Rocknix would probably fit that bill best. I prefer Retro Arena for the saturation and hue controls, smaller volume steps, and generally less buttoned-down nature, but Rocknix is more visually polished and perhaps more user friendly. Retro Arena is basically ArkOS while Rocknix is basically JELOS, both still EmulationStation and thus ultimately very similar. Just be aware Rocknix apparently causes issues with the Android side on the D if you care about that at all. GammaOS is Android and thus doesn't have PortMaster, just listed it because it's a CFW that does exist.Link for Retro Arena because for some reason it's not available on his site. The other two can ofc just be found on their git by using a search engine.https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1JFiuCbPRjdMqinRJSf5hw6os-EsONamThttps://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/1JFiuCbPRjdMqinRJSf5hw6os-EsONamT
Aya Neo has finally discovered front-firing speakers. Also bottom controls way more inset than on the Aya Neo 2, thank god.
>>11373029>Iconic brand design.How high are they on their own farts?
>>11373037For better or worse, Ayaneo's devices definitely stand out in the world of chinkhelds.>>11373029I'm surprised it took the company this long to ditch bottom firing speakers.
>>11373046I mean, I guess they're more "premium" looking but they're still cheap looking garbage at the same time.
>>11373018I blame russ>>11372956>>11373023Thanks, guess I'll try retro arena since I do wanna use android still
>>11373029Have they discovered headphone Jacks yet?
>>11373060In fairness they've had them on a lot of their devices. Its just that they removed them on the Pocket Micro for whatever reason.
>>11373140>There's no sleep mode it drains the battery!>But it shuts the device down when sleeping!??
>>11373147He means deep sleep. The screen probably just goes black, draining the battery the same as if it was on. The first x18s had the same problem when closing the device instead of pressing the power button to put it in deep sleep first.
>>11373140>jewyshant be reading. have to admit all the ridiculous shilling from the other jewtubers is pretty annoying tho.>>11373145kek.
>>11373151Retroid has a good marketing team with money to throw around.
>>11373151I find it funny that a lot of them were saying the rpmini was the one that was more interesting because of it's aspect ratio and they weren't that interested in the rp5. Oh how the tables have turned. They'll probably say the same thing when the portal 2 comes out.
>>11373140So that's two devices that Moorechip rushed out the door just to compete with Ayaneo's products, or just to get out in time for Singles Day. This does not inspire confidence for the Odin Portal. How the fuck do you fuck up an android device to where it has a chance of not even charging at all?
>>11373137Nta but I love chink innovation and anons know exactly what I mean when I say chinkhelds, handhelds on the other hand is a much more nebulous term. It comes from a place of love and admiration.
>>11373168tbf the only reason the Android 10 build exists for the RP5 at all is to give shills an early look at the hardware while they finish the A13 build for consumers. pretty understandable that it's unfinished and jank. The real concern imo is they're supposed to start shipping next week yet I'm convinced the A13 build is still not ready.
>>11373151>>11373157Be real. If yall could be set for life by just shilling these things every few weeks you would.
>>11373059>I blame russHe's not the only one, Tech Dweeb and one other fag said it too. Retroid is almost certainly going to cave now and put the d-pad on the bottom for the RP6.
>>11373187Yeah, the chinkhelds term here isn't even an insult, it's just meant to be funny. It's like banning someone for saying anbernig.
>>11373192Think the sales will crater?
>>11373192reddit game uncle and dw*eb, and some other cunt all said they want analog top for Retroid? fucking hell, why can't these cunts leave us d-pad top kings alone? They already have every Odin, almost every Aya Neo, and almost very handheld PC for strong handhelds with analog top. Retroid is literally our only choice for strong d-pad top.
>>11373191Speak English you stupid motherfucker or go back to africa.
>>11373191Continue speaking English Skyking. >>11373204He's is sayiinzinz if chinks sent youz mfuckas handhelds every month to shillz on jewtewbz, youz probably would.
>>11373190the build they're all using is android 13 you bellendno one has an android 10 review unit
>>11373204Southern whites invented "yall" imagine being asshurt over one word
real question how many people in this thread actually use there handhelds? I bought one last year and it just sits in my dresser doing nothing besides collecting dust. Might sell it to be honest.
>>11373284I play on mine every day, yeah. I don't even play on my desktop or consoles anymore.
>>11373287idk i guess its just too uncomfortable for me I have the miyoo mini+ and pressing the R2 and L2 buttons just feel like a chore.
>>11373292You definitely need something comfy if you actually want to play on it, yeah. I play on an RG Arc and 'eck. Both very comfy, but ofc the 'eck is fucking huge.
>>11373292There's your problem, Miyoo mini is pretty shit if you have big hands. Even with smaller hands its not that comfortable without a grip.
>>11373296>>11373297i would sell it but i feel like 2nd hand I'd only get like $40 for it.
>>11373284I use mine almost daily (r36s, switch, ps vita, n3dsxl). Usually right before bed while watching YouTube stuffs.thet all have different uses and games on them, so I rotate them out every month or so.
>>11373303i even have a fucking steamdeck that I don't use, idk man i guess im just getting too old for gaming...
>>11373301Try selling it loaded with games, there's plenty of lazy people who buy sd cards pre-loaded.
>>11373284I'm enjoying jedi academy and rpgmaker shit on mine.>>11373292Miyoo started a trend with those types of sholder buttons. They were always shit. Anbernic is foolish for copying that shit when they made perfect shoulder buttons for verticals with the rg300 and 51v.
>>11373284Daily. New games suck ass and are woke. Even the good modern jap stuff is brought down by libatarded localizations
>>11373308idk i can't get into old games anymore either. I think i'm just cooked.
does buying one of these handhelds create some chinese nexus into my network? are there any good security comparison tests on these things?
>>11373304No, you may just have more important things to do. That's why I usually only game at night time. When I'm tired it's easier for my mind to get captivated by videogames, though I tend to fall asleep sometimes after like 30 min, depends on the day. Other days you find a few hours to grind in an RPG or play a few rounds of soul Calibur 2 or something. Its all progress. I was recently injured and I still have 5 days til I go back to work... And i still can't play videogames in the day time. Im Doing laundry, gotta clean my car, call my doctor/physical therapist, chop kindling, get groceries, etc... it never ends bro. I'll probably post myself playing some r36s later tonight though.
>>11373314i don't have more important things to do, i'm literally sitting here wondering wtf to play/do.
>>11373316Im doing yoga and shit posting before I detail my car. You should do at least ten 10 push ups and 1 min of jumping jacks then load up virtual racer on 32x.
>>11373330Honestly I wish my brain could be like yours.
>>11373140We already knew about the battery issue with review units. The real question is whether they were actually able to fix and/or will they need to delay again.
>>11373352Ugh, image didn't post.
>>11373356there's totally gonna be a 3rd delay kek
If you're on the fence about any of the Chinese emulation handhelds: after January Trump promises a 60% tariff on Chinese goods and that $220 Retroid Pocket 5 will be $350.If there's a deal this Christmas season you might want to take it.
>>11373352lots more than just the battery in that screenshot
>>11371879>>11371901Which one plasy psp better
>>11373284I use my ‘eck fairly regularly
>>11373140KEK, fuck Retroid for listening to retard's demands.Try and do what put you on the map in the first place, fuck trying to appeal for consumers that do never bought your shit.
>>11373461I don't think either can
>>11373461Play PS1 instead
>>113734676gig android 10 would have been doa.
>>11373284Every day, either this or >>11369592 >>11372005
>>11373481skill issue
>>11371212IPS or ITA backlight mod is good enough but it kills the battery
>>11373487How much is that vs the 5?
>>11373483based lower-budget handheld enjoyer
>>113734933 (or 4 if you're retarded)
>>113734932S is less than half the price it seems ($99 vs $219)
>>11373496With less than half the performance.
>>11373284I have like 5 handheld devices sitting next to my bed right now. A GB Boy Color, a Gameboy Advance, A DS, A Switch, and a PS Portal.I watch YouTube videos on my phone in a side window while playing gacha games.
>>11373461Neither, but I don't think you're gonna find a chinkheld on amazon for 50 or even 55 that does psp since their prices are bloated to shit
>>11373547what about the sjgam handhelds?
>>11373140Sounds a lot worse than the mini since I havent seen any of those issues
>>11373461PS vita
Call me when the Miyoo Flip (with onion OS) releases
https://youtu.be/fGA--m0XEQE?si=rpONdDQ60Z8K-nydLooks really bad tbqh
Funny how even with knowledge I still have no idea what to buy.
>>11373337You have to start loving yourself. Doing things you know are good for you and your mental health. Unironically 4chan isnt that bad, there are a lot of different retarded people here but you need to socialize with real retarded people too. I was just hanging with a friend and he had a seizure and that was crazy but also a bonding experience. Not too say he's necessarily retarded, but he's a little out their for sure. My point is, life is fucking insane as fuck anon, go live a little bit. Then come back and play retro games to decompress.
>>11374067When I was in high school a friend of mine had a seizure. Didn't know what that was before and when he came back he called me a fag for being concerned.
is there an idiots starter guide for out of the box r36s?
>>11374046I use it because it's efficient and I'm lazy. Seethe.
>>11374127I had a friend that was susceptible to seizures in high school too. I remember one time it happened in gym class and the other kids were freaking out and asking why we weren't doing anything. You just gotta let that shit pass.
>>11374134You turn it on and play games
>>11374150what about updates and stuff? Can I just drag and drop roms on my pc into the sd card and it’ll work?
>>11373284I didn't use mine for a while but more recently I've been using it a fair amount.
>>11371212Probably not without mods, but why would you?

>>11374356>Source: Copilot, 12.9.2024"an AI said so" doesn't have quite the same punch as "It was revealed to me in a dream"
>>11373018But if you are afraid of that you could just get the 5 when the price drop it to clear around the 6's release.
>>11374975It's only going to drop by $15 like the RP4 and 4 Pro and you can get it for $10 off right now still. I'm not going to wait a year to save 5 dollars. The only good way of buying Retroid products at a bargain is on Aliexpress but they don't put everything on their store there, only some products.
probably on the stupid side of handhelds, but are there any Ryzen 6 (or more) core handhelds that are cheap and remotely decent? what would be the cheapest, yet still plenty powerful, handheld for running GB* games (Nintendo please don't sue me) and maybe some PSP/PS2 games?
>>11375013>but are there any Ryzen 6 (or more) core handhelds that are cheap and remotely decent?the issue there is 'cheap'. Your options for windows handhelds are steam decks, overpriced trash, or underpowered trash, all with terrible battery life. >cheap but still powerfulRetroid Pocket 2S if you don't care about ps2/GC being good and higher being nothing, Retroid Pocket 4 Pro if you do, Retroid Pocket 5 if you want a glass front.
>>11375013GBA and PS2 are in completely different categories
>>11373284I use my 'eck and Switch a lot. While I generally prefer to play on PC I like to relax on the couch, put something good on TV and play on a handheld. Switch is used for modern Nintendo games, 'eck is for retro, multiplats that run like ass or are not on Switch and PC games.I think it helps not buying a shit ton of these handhelds and just settling on something you know you're actually going to use. Feels insane to me that some people have 5-10+ of these chinkhelds that all fit niche little purposes but play the exact same library of games.
>>11368956It's still around as a gacha where you just watch and their swimsuits determine stats/outcome. A dating sim spinoff is coming to PS4 and Steam next year. Region locked to Asia.
>Lowest cost, Steam refurbed Deck sells out.FUCK.
>>11375345Don't worry too much, there's tons of LCD Decks on the second hand market.
>>11375379I wanted to buy one guaranteed/warranted and with Steam gift cards. Putting $300+ on my debit card is not something I enjoy doing, even if I have the money.
>>11375393Why not credit card
have we seen the transparent back shells for the RP5 yet?
>>11375407Because Credit cards are a scam to get stupid people to wrack up debit and end up further in debt.
>>11371267>I hope people don't mod 101Honestly, any current IPS display outperforms the original 101 a thousand times over. Only nostalfags and speculators give a shit about it.
>>11374127>>11374147Yeah, he was trying to drive I had to stop him while he was losing it. Not really the same as someone who has seizures regularly. I had a stepdad who had grand mal seizures from a car crash they arent allowed to drive.
>>11372304>Only normies would be OK with frameskip, and they wouldn't be messing with chinkhelds to begin with.wtf do you think /r/sbcgaming is now
>>11375492NTA but I actually got a 101 like a month or two ago and I was surprised at how shitty the ghosting is on them, especially when you run Gameboy games in black and white like how I've always done. Makes me kinda glad my childhood one was the original 001. Turns out I wasn't really missing out on anything special.
>>11375492Disagree, if it was native resolution then yeahI think the ITA panel is better than anything else available at the moment and it has great colours, not the oversaturated look most IPS displays have and only just enough blur for effects>>11375518the 001 has the same or worse blur
>>11375489You could just not do that. You need to build up credit if you ever plan to buy a house or car anyways.
>>11372304"""People""" who are okay with frameskip absolutely sicken me.
>>11372205>"I'm gonna test the d-pad by doing a hadoken!">is too shit to do a hadoken reliably on any d-pad
How do I play psp for ~50 or even less
Any good 11.11 deals?
>>11375881On your phone for free
what's the go-to clamshell handheld? secondhand 3dsxl? or is there a chinesium version that's at least not total shit?at most I'd want to play some PSP (I think)
tomorrow big aliexpress sale.what u getting boys?for me, it's rg cube xx !
>>11376008Isn't it better to wait until the black Friday sale?
Should I just buy a controller for me phone? My phone has retarded pricing. Pic related are around $50 USD but the handhelds are almost double the price here lol
>>11376117Country*
>>11376008>big sales coming up>I'm completely broke
>>11375931The x18s and retroid flop are discontinued. You’ll have to buy secondhand and I don’t recommend doing that for the retroid since the hinge is awful.
lomiyoo.com/Flopbros...
>>11376008>RG Cube XXWhy isn't it on Anbernig's official store there? Only the resellers seem to have it.>>11376025Afaik 11/11 has been either the same or better. It's basically chinese black friday anyway.
Trim UI SP is a bit of a let down. Feels very nice in the hands, lots of features and a kickass OS but I bought it for PSP and figured mostly top games won't run. Performance can be pretty bad on some games.What else do I play on this besides PSP and Wonderswan?
>>11376410Portmaster (meme), gba, some Dreamcast.
>>11376427There’s no room on an SP style handheld to comfortably fit both a dpad and an analog stick, let alone two. This is unusable.
>>11376427Is it finally coming out?
>>11376427Cool. What's the likelihood this one's battery won't melt like the 'Nig SP'S?
>>11376427it looks so fucking ass
>>11376458To play some shitty games that suck ass
>>11376431>>11376427I don't even really get them on a device of this power/size.90% of what you're gonna want play on the standard 3.5 inch 4:3 screen is d-pad based anyway.
>>11376458>actually winds up kinda negative and tells you to just buy an Odin 2 insteadWasn't expecting that one
>>11376470What's his reasoning?
>>11376465For the 3 people that wanna play Ape Escape really badly.
>>11376487Doesn't like that it can't fully emulate every single PS2 game seemed to be the only real problem. Says the perfect device would be an Odin 2 chip in the RP5 body but as is you should just buy the Odin 2. Seems like an odd break from his usual shilling desu.
>>11376492It can do God of War II at 3x, it can run like 90% of the PS2 library with that power. Do people really care that much if it can't run a couple of specific games? Were you even going to play them?
>>11376491Ape escape and fps on portmaster. It'll be uncomfortable as fuck, but they did it.
>>11376487for the stick part, he said he both wants the stick up top and that he sometimes hits the sticks while using d-pad and face buttons because they're not inset enough.>>11376492>>11376503he also complained about shitch emulation not being as good. obviously there's some meme games like dirge of cerberus that everyone knew would still be an issue on this SoC, but his PS2 complaint wasn't really about that. more so he can't run everything at 2.5x res, as most PS2 games have a vertical res of 448i, so 2.5x brings it to just over the 1080p vertical res of the screen. also that RP4P ran some of the games better like ratchet & clank 1.
>>11376518>muh stick up topShould have figured.
>>11376520yeah he pretty much just destroyed the good retroid future for most of us since they often just do whatever he says in his critiques.
>>11376523It feels like everyone just wants Retroid products to be exact replicas of Odins except somehow cheaper. Just go buy a fucking Odin you faggots.
>>11376530Yeah it's fucking retarded. He was basically just saying he wanted the RP5 to be the O2 Mini, but he couldn't admit it because he already pre-emptively judged the O2 Mini as shit the moment it was unveiled due to his autistic OG O2 fanboyism.
>>11376518>he said he both wants the stick up topThe worst part is that he isn't the only person that says this, there's other reviewers that evidently feel the same way. Why can't we just have more handhelds with the Dualshock layout, because for the most part these devices are just used for retro games and nothing but. If they just want the D-pad on the bottom then they just need to buy a O2 Mini and call it a day.
Is the Done Set 2 fucked for the Mini Plus? I get errors when extracting it.
>>11376596Don't worry it was Windows being shit, 7zip didn't have any issues.
>>11376427surely with all the time they have delayed this, even the first batch will came out with little to no errors, right?
>>11376492Based russ not slurping the koolaid for once.
Guess who is back.
>>11376661
>>11376661Who the fuck is 'JOE'?
>>11376663>let's make a handheld with hearts for start/select, butt cheeks, an air hockey table in the middle and a soccer ball button underneathprobably the gayest looking thing i've ever seen honestly
>>11376672Damn I didn't realize this thing was going to have a 1080p screen.
>>11376672Is this an unofficial TrimUI Smart Pro successor? I've been out of the loop.>>11376654I really want to believe it will be good. But I'm almost tempted to grab an RG35XXSP even if its a fire hazard just because it'll be cheaper.
>>11376707It’s a clone by sjgam. There are pics of the ui in this thread. The chip listed in specs isn’t its real name! They used it before. Has hdmi out unlike the smart pro for some reason
>>11376569truth nuke
>>11376569One of the main appeals of something like retroid devices is emulating 3d games, many of which are from consoles that use analog sticks. So I think it makes sense for the layout to favor them. With something like the trimui smart pro I find it more understandable for the sticks to be at the bottom because few games it will run need them
>>11376518>wants an rp5 with stick top and sdg2 chip in it>hates the odin 2 mini which is an rp5 with stick top and sdg2 chip in itWhat the FUCK is his problem? Yes I get that the screen and plastic allegedly aren't as nice, but by his own admission 5" is still a good size for 16:9, the MiniLED panel generally looks nicer than the one in the Odin 2, and he deals with the same plastic just fine on his Odin 2.
>>11375596This is why I'd just stick to games I actually play regularly. Then again russ does more "testing" than anything else, he probably doesn't actually play games for fun
>>11376518>stick up topRuss is gunna single handedly destroy the handheld space
>>11376672
>>11376931based.
>>11376117>tfw preordered and got a RP2S for R$600 before the (even more) retarded taxes reformfret not irmão, soon the americans will also know your feeling
>>11373487>>11376957Somebody redpill me on the RP2S. I kinda like the look of the green version and the price isn't bad. Is it serviceable if I'm only looking to play PS1 and below and want something pocketable? What about the screen falling issue, is it widespread?
>>11377141A30 and 28XX are much smaller. RG Nano, Q36 Mini, and FunKey S on the other hand are actually pocketable (like keychain size)
>>11377141It's pretty good for pocketing. I'm not a huge fan of its more clicky dpad for platformers etc. but it does feel nice and is great for RPGs.>PS1 and belowThe chips is probably more than you need for that If you want to save some money you could get one of the ~$50 tier devices like an anbernic or whatever. They'll definitely feel cheaper and probably look worse, though.>pocketableIt is comfortably pocketable but it's like, take-up-your-whole-pocket kind of pocktable. Not really an EDC kind of device.>>11377152You don't have to go down to micro stuff to count as pocketable, anon.
>>11377141It's great for ps1 and below. But I hesitate to recommend it when you can spend a little more for an rp5 or save your money and get an anbernig. It's just in a weird middle ground. It does have some of the best buttons and dpad I've felt in these devices though..
>>11377141It's nice, lets you play DC as well. I don't like pocketing things with sticks, but could be done. Never heard of the screen falling.>>11377206That's more than twice the price and size. Had the Mini not been a newbie trap at the exact same price as the much better 5, maybe...
>>11377141As long as you don't mind a 3.5" screen, it's a phenomenal PS1-downheld even if it can do more. Killer controls, and hands down best speakers and plastic feel/material you'll get at the price point. And it just looks cool.>>11377206>I hesitate to recommend it when you can spend a little more for an rp5anon an RP2S is $105 shipped new vs $240 shipped for an RP5.
>>11377141It's my Ape Escape, Jet Set Radio and OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast machine
>>11377217Agreed, but especially on the speaker quality, so fucking clean. Criminally underrated by youtubers, probably weren't paid to promote it.>>11377228>OutRun 2006: Coast 2 Coast machinePSP, right? If not, I ought to push this thing harder.
>>11376676>>11376663I want THE ASS
>>11377234>PSP, right?Oh yes, I have pretty good eyes. It might do the PS2 one but I've never tested that system myself
>>11376676>>11377235brazil bros... we fucking won
>>11377253There was a guy here who got Kingdom Hearts and THPS3 running so just wondering if that was another PS2 miracle. Probably not.
>>11377141I mean if you're only interested in ps1 and below you've got tons of options. The whole anbernic rg**xx family should be able to run it just fine, the rg35xxsp is especially nice if you want something portable since the clamshell design gives it some extra protection. And if you only want ps1 and below you can toss minui on it, which is limited to only ps1 and below games but is an extremely nice os imo
>>11377141The screens Retroid uses on these devices look washed out as shit.
>>11377262>rg35xxspdoesn't that shit blow up
>>11377264Based Odin 2 mini owner
>>11377270News to me.
Still zero reason for the RP5.Just get an Odin 2.
Leaf here, I'm looking for a handheld to buy preferably during the 11.11 sale around $50 or under. I'm mainly looking to play gba games and probably snes too. What are some good recommendations? I've looked and a lot of the "official stores" on aliexpress dont ship to me.
>>11376518they should put both sticks up top
>>11377309Virtually anything above running joke famiclone tier runs those, be more specific.>>11377313Someone exorcize Iwata over here.
Stick up top makes sense for when you are playing higher ended games like PS2, GC, WiiU etc.D-Pad up top makes sense for retro handhelds like the RG35XX etc that can only really do up to PS1.
>>11377321I'm suffering from amnesia, can you help me remind how a PS2 controller looks like?
>>11377327Is the RP5 the same size as a PS2 controller?
>>11377309If your requirements are that low it mainly comes down to what kind of form factor you're interested in.
>>11377270There were a few issues with it (although iirc anbernic said it had less issues than most of their devices, it was just more talked about lmao), but newer units have a piece of insulating paper inside between the board and the battery.
I still can't decide between horizontal or vertical.
>>11377359Get both, then regret the vertical.
>>11377359>>11369592
>>11377340>>11377309This. There's gb style, GBA sp style and gba micro style handhelds that fall into the 50 and below category. The r36s(gb style) and miyoo a30(GBA micro style) are like 25 bucks right now and they play up to ps1 with some n64 and dc (r36s).
>>11377359Vertical is nice if what you're playing doesn't use shoulder buttons (see: the games the DMG/GBC were designed to play)Anything with shoulder buttons feels like shit regardless of what solution they come up with to add them onto the design.Nintendo ditched vertical handhelds and never looked back for a good reason.
>>11377321Shut up russ
https://youtu.be/rVpDMzfZeAQThis video is the exact moment Russ killed the experimentation in the chinkheld space. All of our issues can be traced back to this moment.
>>11377434>skip through the video>see thisHe's come a long way, at least.
>>11377434>4 USB A ports at bottom edge.Why don't they all do this?!
>>11377596>unable to be closed because of the analog stickswould still be praised by youtubers
>>11377385The shoulder buttons on the RG300 were really nice.
>>11377318>>11377340>>11377381I don't want horizontal I don't mind vertical gba sp style is also good my friend has a miyoo mini+ but its too small for me. So anything vertical or gba sp style is good.
Why is the ayeno pocket S rated for A- for switch while ayeno pocket dmg and Evo with the same soc are rated A?
>>11377464Round the top where the shoulders are to be like the RP5 and shrink the 'C' & 'Z' buttons to bring the main diamond closer to the edge and it could be there.
>>11377434Why did Russ sound so normal back then? I swear he sounds more like a faggot these days.
>>11377434>4-inch screen with perfect 3x scaling for GBA>force-stretches every game anyways, with no option to scale the aspect ratio>and to top it all off, the glass bezel covers the edges of the display and blocks off the text on the sides>which wouldn’t be a big deal if the games were their proper aspect ratio with black bars, but because every game gets stretched to fullscreen, the screen is ALWAYS partially blocked by the bezelNever met this Supbor company before, and I hope they were all drawn and quartered when the company collapsed. How do you get hardware this good, and then fuck up the software so badly to render ALL OF IT meaningless?
>>11376518he's not wrong about the high end performance. Weren't we having the exact same complaints about the RP4 pro six months ago? lol at the chinese handheld space, it's just a slow fat trickle of empty consumerism
what's the ideal device for PSP and NDS emulation, i.e. something widescreen and best bang for your buck? Trimui smart pro? Or is the performance not that great?
>>11377651If you want a gbaSP style device the best one right now is the RG35XXSP.
>>11370064Tate mode regardless of aspect ratio, dummy.
>>11377958Gonna want something more powerful for PSP. Now that the RP5 is hitting maybe keep an eye out, see if you can score a deal on a used RP3/4, or maybe a PowKiddy x55 or RGB10 Max 3.
>>11378024well shit, thanks

Any new interesting no-name handhelds lately?
>>11378082Crossmix is pretty great. Yeah it doesn't look super slick because it's based off of the stock OS, but functionally it's pretty nice. It's got built in support for moonlight, portmaster (although many games don't work yet, library fuckery), a scraper, a bunch of network features like sftp and smb file sharing, a screen recorder, etc. And you have a couple of themes to choose from, I agree the default branding they use looks like shit. Oh, and because it's based on the stock OS it keeps its best feature, the sleep mode. It's super efficient.
>>11378092thanks, yeah it looks cheap in some ways but the benefits outweigh not using it
RG406H. Weird how the right stick is inset but not the d-pad, these idiots need to stop killing ergonomics for things that are hardly pocketable anyway.
Also, 'nig told one of the western stores there's also a RG406P, no news beyond that
>>11378137why does the coffee cup button do?
>Check win600 price for the biggest sale of the year>Still more expensive than the steam deckAt this point I am sure it's just anbernig trolling and hoping some uninformed retard accidentally buys it. Because in a post steam deck world this shit should NOT be more expensive than the cheapest deck model which still blows it out in terms of performance.
>>11377952People are wondering why Russ is holding the RP5 to higher standards than usual, but considering its a $230 price tag (240 for the inevitable grip) that's pushing into "why not just get an Odin 2" territory. It's supposed to be a premium device with OLED, but if it can't do shtich then you're basically paying a $50 markup just for the OLED.
>>11378173You can get it for $209 right now and a $90 difference is not small. Also why would you need a grip for the RP5 when they're already built in? People wanted a PS2/Gamecube machine at around the $200 price range and this is it but now everyone bitches that it can't do Shitch. Everyone just wants more more more. Just get an Odin 2 and shut the fuck up. I don't need Shitch on my chinkheld.
>>11376518It is one thing to recommend the odin 2 over 5, but expecting the 5 to replace the odin 2 is a reddit take. They aren't going to compete with themselves.
>>11377434Anbernig and miyoo already stopped doing shit like that before that video.>>11377817He rasied the pitch of his voice to come off as more charming, but it just made him sound gayer.
rgb30 is $40 with coins rn
>>11377854Subor was pretty much a better data feog back then. Thier original handhelds were even better than data frog's stuff.>>11378089Sf3000 (Really good ips screen) m25 (Ps portal look-a-like from sjgam with a psp screen and rk3566. Vid related. (Real)
>>11378180What if I'm not an early adopter though? I think it's fair to judge it by the non early bird price especially considering QoL issues that even Retroid is not immune to such as broken shoulder buttons and ghosting not to mention exploding batteries in other products.
>>11378193How much it becomes when you add this code IFPEQTO
>>11378203$219 is still far off from $299 then. >b-but the shippingSo the Odin 2 has free shipping?
>>11378208$235 with grip. So $65 difference.
>>11375549> Imagine think the 101 screen is it even usable in 2024Nah, cope haed, Because of you, there are retards selling obsolete hardware at ridiculous prices.
>>11378214What grip nigga, they're built into the device.
Is there a way to make the rp5 exclusively run linux or do I have to do this dual boot fuckery
>>11369187Explain the memeLurker
>>11378221Retroid claims in the future, they're going to make a proper boot option for Android or Linux when you turn on the device but I need to see it to believe it first.
>>11378056They did just that with the RGB30, it was the only one that caught my eye.Mother fuckers
>>11378202Wait, the joystick's cap fucking spin?Holy based
>>11378219lol
>>11378218it wasn't even usable at the time. when decent emulators started coming out i couldn't go back to the ugly bottom of the barrel 00's LCDs
>>11378202Kek-worthy
>>11378208Who is buying the base odin 2? You gotta get a pro or max to consume and pretend like you're going to run fallout 4 or skyrim on it.
>>11377463absolutely fucking terrible ruining the game boy like that by playing the DX version of link's awakening
>>11377854There were ways to unfuck the retroarch settings but I don't think anyone fixed the shutdown.>>11378316It was a preloaded rom. Chinks normally only have one or the other depending on how old their romset is.
>>11378316Is there even a GBC enhanced game that didn't end up worse?
>>11377631>one million times of button
>>11378316That’s Oracle of Seasons you fucking retard.

>>11378327$35 on ali
thinking of nabbing a powchaddy rgb10xis the dpad really that good?
>>11378165I'm still holding out for the Brazilian loki, but it'll probably cost more than the original.
pic related or a RP5?
>>11378165it should be $150 by now but 'nig never drops their prices
>>11378365Might as well get a retroid for that price.>>11378367Anbernig tax. You didn't forget them pricing their 3326 handhelds like 90+ back then did you?
>>11378365TSP
>>11378371>>11378374OLED Vita 3G for $100. Cop or not?
>>11378386You'll have to mod the 3g out if you get it. I think it drains the battery even when not in use
rg35xx h ior trimui smart pro?
>>11378397Smart pro for 16:9 and clicky dpad. 35h for rubber membranes and 4:3. The h also has better portmaster support if you care about that.
>>11378401>The h also has better portmaster support if you care about that.only ports I care about are SM64, the zelda decomps and AM2R?If the TSP can run those I'm getting it, it's not like the H700 is actually any good for anything over PS1 anyways
>>11378142It deers.>>11378365How is this even a question, Vita has fuckall to play.>>11378405Zelda can have some nasty drops on RK3566, I assume it's the same there. SM64 runs okay without the opt-in render96 pack, but Mario and Bowser get new models for some reason.
>>11378405>SM64, the zelda decomps and AM2R?It can't. Someone got am2r to play on crossmix, but it was slow as fuck due to missing the proper libs.
>>11378413can it do dreamcast at least? especially sanic adv 2
>>11378327>concave square buttonsGood god. The sharp edge top looks good though.>>11378416No. Get a RP2S for playable DC.
>>11378416I don't know about sonic advance 2, but I play code veronica on the standalone dc emulator. You might want to check jewtube.
>>11378421>RP2Sthose kikes are still selling it for $100 + the crazy shipping when it should be like $70
>>11378386T. S. P.
>>11378435I thought it dropped to $80?
>>11378435Nothing around $70 is even remotely close to the 2S in power so I have no idea why you think that. Also much better plastic/materials and speakers.
>>11378435Retroid tax. The pocket 3+ was 150 for a t618>>11378441He means more price to performance ratio and I kinda see where he's coming from. No matter the build quality, a t610 for 100 is retarded.
>>11378443>He means more price to performance ratioit utterly destroys h700 and rk3566 slop in that regard tho??
meh gonna nab a chuddy v10 and rgb10x, they seem to be the only deals to be had in this "sale"
>>11378137I really wonder if that device will be using new sticks like the ones used the 406V, or if they'll still be using the shitty ones on the Cube.>>11378165Valve technically can subsidize production on the Steam Decks, but there's no way in hell that the Win600 should even cost that much when its specs were rough even at the time. The cheapest Ayaneo Air Plus blows it out of the water in terms of specs and build quality, and even though Tectoy's "lite" version of the AYN Loki uses the same chipset, it still surpasses it in terms of build quality and likely battery life too.
>OH NO, I HAVE TO DROP MY PS2 SETTINGS FROM A 2.5X TO A 2X? PS2 IS UNPLAYABLE!! GET AN ODIN 2!!! - Russ
>>11378503They seem to stand much taller from the shell and have the same frame as the 406v's. While I wouldn't put it past them, it's almost guaranteed to be the newer ones.
>>11378509Why wouldn't you play games just in original resolution?Higher resolution is barely visible on a tiny screen.
>>11378521because the original resolution is 480inext brainlet question (pls i hope it's n64 related)
>>11378529And what's wrong with that?Looks great on a tiny screen.
>>11378521I'm pretty fucking blind and old, but 5.5" (4.5" for 4:3) is a pretty good. Nowhere close to tiny.
>>11378536rendering the missing 240 lines looks even greater
>>11378541That's not how interlacing works.
>>11378551explain to me how many lines is rendered in 480i at a time then
>>11378554On an LCD? All 480 lines.Since LCD can't do real interlacing, only CRTs can.
>>11378561and for the final question, why is there combing (or blur) artifacts on the alternating lines?
>>11378576Because LCDs can't do real interlacing.Now answer me a question:What does all that sperging about interlacing has to do with increasing the internal resolution of an emulator from 480p to 1200p?
>>11378218>thirdie>born after 2004Begone, disgusting creature.
>>11378218That’s how it was sold, so it’s how it was meant to be played. Anyone who plays games with “improved” screens didn’t actually beat the game.
>>11378615meds.
>>11378137What game is that?
god this glass panel front looks so fucking retarded>>11378634gradius v
>>11378324Kek
I saw a 2ds on aliex the other day for like $44 now it's $80 and I regret not getting
>>11378686the 2ds is the ugliest pos that nintendo ever made and thats including their cardboard ventures.
Whatever happened to pocket go? The s30 would've been the perfect 3:2 device if they just iterated on it
>>11378691I have one and I love it. I wa t another one cuz mine broke tho. I already have n3ds systems, but the 2ds is much more comfy
>>11378691Yeah but it's comfy as fuck. Sort of like how the 'eck looks like an oversized brick but just fits perfectly into your hands.
>>11378693I'm sad we've stopped getting 3:2 devices period.
I have to watch Russ' vids 5min at a time because his voice is so grating
>>11378720Like the other anon pointed out, he used to sound more normal when he started out.
>>11378636I feel like the only reason people are giving it points for a "premium" feel is because it makes the device heavier and heavy=good. That was a thing with tv remotes, companies found ways of mixing and molding plastic that allowed them to make very light weight and very durable tv remotes, and they shipped those with premium tvs. And then they got a bunch of complaints that the remotes feel cheap so they still made them the same way but put weights in them.
>>11378741The RP5 is surprisingly light though. It's nearly 50g lighter than the Odin 2 Mini despite both being the same size, having the same battery, and having cooling fans inside.
>>11378741On the black one the glass kinda makes the old screen blend into it so it doesn't look like you have black bars when playing non 16:9 stuff
>>11378741On a device like this it's more about weight distribution than total weight.Also glass front is a solid trick for "premium" feel. As is OLED, but that one isn't a trick. I feel a lot of the comparison's it's getting are just ignoring OLED but it's a big deal.
>>11378583wrong, the answer is because the gpu is rendering 240 lines at a time
>>11378728>watch kei retro's rp5 advertisement>sounds less like a serial killer and more like a standard monotone autist nowwhy is everyone changing
let's see how plebbit is doing tod-
"premium" is becoming my chinkheld trigger word.
>>11378819Not pocketability?
>>11378801Could be worse, they could be blaming retro handhelds for Trump
>>11378801>other handhelds>literally just oneFaggots.
>>11378876How are they so desperate for content they'll sit around and pretend anyone can think that tweet is serious?
Found my GBM charger while I was sorting out a drawer and booted it up. Forgot how 'nifty' it is.Flash cart's seemingly not holding saves for Gameboy content and if I were to use it again I'd probably want to get one of those smaller ones as this one juts out a lot on an already-small console but it's a cute little device. I like that the GBC emu on the flashcart grabs the SGB borders.Screen's a tad washed out and mine has a dead pixel, makes me wish someone made high quality after market screens for these things.
>>1137839740XX
uhh, russ sisters?? our response???
really really want to buy something but i really really dont need it. already have rg35xxh and 3ds but I would love a miyoo mini + or 35xx (plus) just cause for some vertislop
>>11378509fucking this, native is more than fine lol
>>11379057No, you don't. Let 480p get phased out, that 3.2" 1024x768 panel is looking great and will be everywhere next year.
>>11379009Why not wait until the replacement which will be based on the RG406H? You'll get a higher quality screen by then too.
>>11379018this guys voice is just fucking AI cant listen to ithes also a mod in the retorid server so of course hes going to say buy retroid
I want a non-jank Genesis experience. Should I buy the RG Arc now on sale? Or wait for the ArcXX so it can have muOS?
>>11379169muOS is pretty jank, don't let the shilling get to you, they only just figured not having to flash fresh on every update and storing user files on SD2. ArcXX is not happening also.
>>11378451I was thinking of getting it but with shipping and taxes it's about as much as a RG406V, which I would prefer cause it has a slightly larger screen. Though I'm wondering whether the lack of analog triggers will bother me.
I was waiting to see how the RP5 held up for newer emulation, but initial word is that it struggles with select PS2. Honestly I just want something for primarily PS2 play that is pretty turnkey and won't break the bank. Should I just look at Anbernig?
>>11379259it struggled with certain PS2 games because russ plays them at 2.5x resolution. Just turn down the resolution.
>>11379259>believing Russ, who admits he doesn't like to tinker, which is why he's such an Odin 2 fanboy
>>11379190I guess I’ll just get the Arc then. Android or Linux? All I really want from Android is a working sleep mode
>>11379259Retroid's stuff is stronger and better priced than Anbernig. You could just wait a year or two more, or simply check which PS2 games the RP5 struggles with to see if you actually care for any of them. I imagine it should be able to run most worthwhile games well at native resolution.
>>11379273How would it compare to a 406V? It's nearly twice the price where I'm at.
>>11379280RG406V should still be a little below the Odin Lite in terms of power, while RP5 a bit better.
new bread when?
>>11379259Just get an odin 2 then. Joey's videos are better than Russ at this point.
>>11379368Right now>>11379375>>11379375>>11379375
>>11378218Who are you quoting?
>>11374025>Looks really bad>Doesn't even have itwhat did he mean by this?
>>11376957Tariffs will only add 10 or 20 dollars to these devices, what's the big deal? (maybe even less if they classify them as toys instead of computers)
>>11380352dunno but some of you guys bitch and moan about 20 dollars difference about devices, while it's about a 100 reais for us instead
>>11380374I'm just saying that if you're against tariffs you're a faggot and a pussy, america first, USA #1
>>11378801>look at incorrect dpad position 'helds>they're all trashyawn
I'm just waiting for a sale on a Steam Deck OLED, maybe it's gonna happen this black Friday?
