>>11466972Is /hhg/ hadoukenable and shoryukenable?
I bought the steam deck oled. How much of a cuck am I for doing this? I'm having second thoughts, but I can't tell if it's because I actually think it was a bad idea or if it's just because it's half a grand.
>>11467006Depends on what you plan on playing on it.
>>11467006Its not like you got a bad handheld. As far as x86 handhelds go it still has a great price to performance ratio, there's tons of community support for emulation, and you can play plenty of your step library on there.
>>11466972It should be Handhelding general.
>>11466972is smartphone emulation just a meme or is it viable? I have a galaxy s24 and if it can actually run gen 6 and below without framerate issues I might just have to hop on. what is the best clip on controller to get?
>>11467034Do you prefer clicky or rubber memebranes for dpads?
>>11466972why cuck boy as thread pictureOP a bitch
>>11467034>playing a game on your telephone
>>11467006You could do much worse. Luv me deck, simple as.>>11467034I have emulators on my phone, but the fact that many powerful flagships don't have SD card slots pisses me off to no end.
>>11467035definitely rubber.>>11467065it definitely pisses me off too.. but i have about 200 gigs Im not using for anything else, so its definitely doable for some retro gayming.
>>11467006You can't go wrong with it unless you need to play those modern high-end games which sounds unlikely given where we are
>slight ips bleed on my R2PS after a few dayswhat the fuck I don't think that was there at first or I would have noticed it
>>11467092easysmx m15 or m10.
>>11467006I hate Steam as a service for ruining the PC game industry and retail sales, but the Deck is pretty fucking great. Playing a lot of games on it and it really feels worth the $400 I paid for my LCD model.
>>11466495Those days, an LED that you could power without draining the GBC batteries in 90 minutes was very weak. Of course they could have put an opaque plastic bit in front of it to diffuse the light, but the resulting light would have been super fucking weak. With these spotlights you could at least see the middle of the screen relatively well. Also the modern reading light in the example is a white LED, which were not economical until like 2012, that's why these wormlights appear purplish or pinkish.
>>11467006I like my LCD one, I would miss it if it broke or something. But I tend to go to my DS or 3DS for whatever I can run or emulate on those, because the Deck is really kinda big, even for a big guy like me.There's no way though I would spend $500 now on the OLED one, after already having bought the LCD one. Fucking gayben released the OLED like 2 months after I had bought mine. I'm still salty about that.I'm waiting for a new gen of x86 handhelds and I'll upgrade when we get something that's significantly better than the ROG Ally X.
>>11466972excuse my ignorance, but how does a computational "chipset" have support for a wireless connectivity grade?
>>11467059I play games on my titan and it's going nice with a 1:1 screen.
>>11467161SoC is not just a chipset, it's a system on a chip. It includes the modem.

>>11467153> but the resulting light would have been super fucking weakBut it would work better for GBC, you can’t deny that
>>11467182T820 (meaning Anbernic handhelds like RG Cube or RG556) can run Linux?
finished all of ace combats trilogy on this thingjust wanna say that I love my deck and I would never ever kill myself
>>11467117check bezels if they are flushed with the plastic in every direction, if they aren't, push it down until it clicks
>>11467245No.
It's a Christmas miracle, my FPGBC came in yesterday just in time! lelI am glad I got it before the postal services take off a few days though. Man, do I love this thing already. It looks like a freaking green Jolly Rancher! And with the new V1.14 firmware that just released I can use my bootleg Everdrive with no problems and without having to run an older version. The only problem that I have is one that everyone is having with the firmware, where running GB games in GBC mode (with color) leads to some sprites being colored green for some reason. It's mostly obvious in Mario Land where Mario himself is green funnily enough. But I can live with it until they make a fix. I've always played my Game Boy games in black-and-white anyways. It's what I prefer.
>>11467384Did they fix clock speeds or do games still run faster?
>>11467442>>11467384I wanted to buy one but how much faster are the games? How does that affect the sound?
>>11467384>That screeneugh...
>>11467451What's the issue?
>>11467454Raw high-res pixels.It looks unnatural for GB/C games...
Any Stardew Valley portmaster players here?Is it laggy for anyone else when on the main farm? Everything else seems fine mind you. But on the main farm it feels a little sluggish.
What Switch emulator do I get on Android?

To those who own Ambernigs which cables/chargers are safe to use without blowing up the battery?
>>11467484Just avoid C to C. Stick to dumb 5V bricks if you're paranoid.
>>11467442>>11467447It's something that I wouldn't notice just playing the FPGBC by itself, but when I did a test starting Mario Land on it and an SP at the same time, the FPGBC eventually led the timer by a few seconds. So, it's like a few milliseconds or something? To me it's negligibl, but that might bother some people in the back of their minds.>>11467458>>11467483There are other options that arguably look better than the fullscreen one. That's just the default.
What's the best seller to get pre-installed SD cards? I've seen quite a few on Aliexpress and I'm just curious which has the best value. >inb4 just downloadIt would take me months to get a full PS2/PSP collection
>>11467518Stop being dumb.
>>11467164I have a titan but I don't. Arent you worried about wearing out the keys?
>>11467484Use the oldest, cheapest charger you have. Alternatively just charge it off of your computer.
>>11467484I just use some 1.2 A charger

Currently working on proper Gamecube sticks for Redroid/Odin devices. Should be roughly 1:1 on scale, but I gotta wait like a week to check because I don't have my own 3D printer and gotta wait to get something processed at the library. Here's hoping they fit properly first time
>>11467764looking good bro, hope it feels good to use tho
>>11467768I think they will. I actually tested with an OEM stick first since those use almost the exact same fitting and it felt pretty good, so I'm less concerned with "will GC sticks feel good" and more "did I fuck up making GC sticks". I don't have fancy callipers either so I was making do with a crescent wrench that had metric measurement markings along the "mouth" or whatever you call the open bit, so I'm hopefully not a half mil too big/small.
>>11467776godspeed based anon, keep us updated
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_r7L1_0C6EE
>>11467789One idea I actually had was giving them octagonal bases so that you'd actually feel like you're using the octagonal gate the gamecube controller had, but not sure how much people would like that
>>11467850>One idea I actually had was giving them octagonal basesthat will add outer deadzone
>>11467858I was thinking about that, but retroids already have a slight built-in outer deadzone and this might be small enough to not go beyond it. Unfortunately though I don't have an odin so not sure if it's any different
>>11467865I think that can be fixed with software, Anon. For example, I have three controllers: a Steam Controller, a DualShock 4 V2, and a DualShock 3. I've wrapped the analog sticks with teflon to avoid wear and tear (you know, the wear of the cylinder or however you want to call it, from rubbing against the edge), which resulted in an outer deadzone. In Steam and DS4Windows, I've adjusted the outer deadzone accordingly. Despite having a couple of millimeters less travel, I don't suffer from it.Maybe it can be adjusted from the chinkheld. And now that I mention wear... I suppose that over weeks or months, that shape will wear down and end up as a circle. Perhaps you should wrap it with teflon and account for those millimeters before printing them?Good luck with that, hope you share your updates, Anon. Keep it up and merry xmas!
>>11467895Eh, if that much has to be taken into account for it to work I think I'll just stick to normal circular bases then, I do intend on making these publicly available so I prefer these things be plug n play. Also I may be able to get an update later tonight, someone in a discord I'm in has a printer and is willing to do a quick test with em, fingers crossed. Also Merry Christmas to you too anon!
>>11467907>Eh, if that much has to be taken into account for it to work I think I'll just stick to normal circular bases then,Make that octagonal shape, reduce 1mm of its thickness for the teflon and call it a day. Is not that hard. I'm talking about teflon tape, the one you use on pipes, is affordable as fuck, like 98 cents at your local home depot.
>>11467460Device?
>>11467981And I'm a cuck for typing the wrong you're
>>11467792Front firing speakers is enough of an innovation for an Ayaneo device itself. But I think its cool that we now have the option to rotate the controller modules to have something close to a Dualshock layout on a PC handheld or to something truly bizarre like the Wii U's layout.Just a shame it'll cost an arm and a leg.
>>11468024But if you you flip it then the letters are upside down and my autism is triggered.
>>11468025You can rotate the buttons
>>11468029Can you?
>>11468024>Just a shame it'll cost an arm and a leg.Yeah, at least this time it looks like true endgame
>>11468031That's what the video shows. I'm not sure how it'll play out in Windows at least, but if it does somehow work as intended then Ayaneo can safely boast about being above ASUS in terms of quality PC handhelds.
>>11468031
>>11468031As a proud ESL mofo, I remember when I was 7yo and I really needed to pee. I asked my teacher if I CAN go to the bathroom, and she replied, "I don't know, can you?" Then I asked if I COULD go to the bathroom, she smiled, but I was desperate to fucking pee.
>got a clear black backplate to replace the boring black one for my RP5>after lots of fiddling got the old plate off and the new one in>looks barely any different from the old plate since the inside is all blackWell that was a waste of time and money.
>>11468060That "customization" that Retroid offers is a joke.
Can the RP4P play Vita? I only got it to be a $150 GC and PS2 player but if it can do Vita too, that'd be nice
>>11467792oh fuck modular controls including trackpad they won
Aya neo are Japanese and not Chinese?!
>>11467164so... how old is that thing? it feels like that thing is from 2015, it looks like it barely can emulate PS1.
>>11468098It works with most of the playable games on vita3k
>>11468112It can emulate up to psp just fine and dolphin marginally better than the t618.Even if it was from 2015, it would still emulate up to psp just fine.
>>11468105Now why on earth did you think that, anon?>>11467792>>11468104I still have a billion concerns like actual speaker quality (huge kudos for FINALLY making them front-firing, tho), weight, ergonomics, price, winblows, etc, but they absolutely killed it on the control options here. Touch pads wherever you want is fantastic, but the fact I can do 6 face buttons and put a disc d-pad up top has me completely erect. This may seriously be what finally replaces my beloved Steam Deck if that disc d-pad is any good + if the 6 face buttons are comfortable to use at that weird angle.The cap on the disc d-pad looks weird, but I've seen people swear by that style on other controllers. Also I know not the most reliable source, but reddit game uncle also thought it was great. The underpinnings look to be a legitimate floating d-pad from how it moves.
>>11468138yeah.. i looked it up and checked the CPU it uses. it can even emulate 3DS but not full speed on big games.so yeah, sorry there.
>>11468149Shitty pointless edit I made to soothe my autism. Looks like ass but you get the idea. and yes I enlarged the fuck out of the speakers after the RP5 unfortunately confirmed my bias/fear that small slim speaker outlets = meh sound quality
Got an 8Bitdo Ultimate controller, whiteIt basically feels like a more precise, less Fisher Price version of the Switch Pro controller with a really mushy SNES d-pad, which I hate after using the amazing SF-2000 clicky SNES d-pad. I'll likely never use it over my Xbox or Steam controller but it was still pretty thoughtful.
>>11467384I like the idea, but the FPGBC just seems weird in a lot of ways>full screen isn't integer scaled>no SD slot for ROM loading or just getting a little extra out of the FPGA chipThe screen especially is a huge one. This isn't an emulation handheld, it's a screen designed to display specific games. Why not use a screen that integer scales perfectly to full screen?
>2025>still no handheld with 6 face buttons, 2 full-sized analog sticks with L3 and R3, two bumpers and two analog triggers, 4 back buttons, and a 4:3 120hz OLED screen
>>11468194Needs a trackpad too
>>11468205Throw it in there.
I made this comparison of the Nintendo Switch vs the Anbernic RG 406V so I could see how the size of the buttons and d-pad compare.
>>11468295am i crazy or are the shitch buttons actually a little smaller
>>11468301Reddit game uncle does precise button measurements if you really want to know.
More comparison>Switch buttons are slightly smaller>analog stick cap is slightly smaller>d-pad size is identical (RG 406v has a pivot in it, so it is "real" d-pad) >Switch screen is still larger even in 4:3 aspect ratio modeMuch of the above will apply to other Anbernic handhelds.
>>11468301Nintendo Switch 22mmAnbernic RG 406v 23mm
>>11468168>SF-2000It fucks me the fuark up that's the only snes controller shaped chinkheld with good big face buttons. Might even have the best dpad of the three.
Nintendo Switch and Anbernic RG 406v vs NES and SNES controller.
If only
>>11468371I'll give it points for having the correct SNES rhombus button layout.
>>11468364Really goes to show you how small the RG 406v is even after reviewers were calling it CHONK and CHUNGUS. It's still not adult-hands sized.By the by I played a little bit on my niece's Switch today and was once again reminded of what a silly toy it is.
>>11468386they played that up a lot even though the original gayboy is taller and thicker overall. i guess 405/6v is indeed wider tbf.
The Anbernic Arc D/S is marketed as having big console sized buttons they are actually a little bit smaller than that. I highly recommend the Hori Fighting Commander.
>>11468194I want one of those
Still tempted to grab a brick. SEGA Saturn is listed as C, does anyone know if it plays Saturn Rayman? It seems like a lower-end game.
>>11468451Rayman is on so many platforms. Why the Saturn version?
>>11468453It's the arguably the most 'complete', also my favorite port, having more animation during the final boss fight. It's not a killer feature, it's just my choice of Rayman.
>>11468457If SOTN runs on it I'd say Rayman will too.
I was talking with some family today about toy drives. They were talking about how people expected "xboxs and playstations" and that was unrealistic. I told them it was, but also video games aren't actually as expensive as you might assume. What would be the best poorfag kid replacement for a Switch? Something's less than $40 that can be donated to one of those toy drives.
>>11468504One of these, they'll love it and be so grateful!
>>11468510Those are around $10-15. I think we can do a little better than that. Most toy drives ask for $20-50 items.
>>11468504I think beggars can be choosers
>>11468504The RG 34XX H is what I would go for. Wait for it to go on heavy discount as it ages out of production. It's a legit machine with two analog sticks. So the kid can play "new" style games they are more familiar with instead of d-pad titles. It can play Ocarina of Time and Mario Kart 64.
>>11468532What the fuck is an "RG 34XX H" and why did you post the RG28XX?
>>11468591He either meant the 40xx, thought the 35xx has a 4inch screen, or his brain is broken.
>>11468603>thought the 35xx has a 4inch screenu wot m8
>>11468591>>11468603I meant the 35XX H and used the wrong picture.
New Miyoo handheld coming after the flip releases. Uses the same 3.2 inch screen as the Trimui Brick.
>>11468764>sticksGross
>>11468778How else would you play Ape Escape, you braindead buffoon?
Anyone got their's yet?Haven't been this excited for a new system in a while.
>>11468785I want one but I'll wait a bit and see if they release more color options
>>11468787Couldn't you just lightly alter a real GBA shell replacement? The screw holes line up perfectly.
>>11467006Steam deck is really only for playing PC games up to 2022-23. Anything newer and it's too underpowered and for anything emulation related there's better form factors than that brick.
>>11468792Depends on the game, honestly.I'm playing FF7 Remake at 1080p 60FPS on my Ally X. I doubt the Steam Deck would have any problems doing the same thing at 900p.Lolipop Chainsaw Repop was also fun, and that's a 2024 title.
>>11468781Dual slide pads and back paddles mapped to L3/R3. Just as pocketable as a proper gameboy while still keeping the sticks.
>>11468792>Anything newer and it's too underpoweredOnly for AAA garbage.All the actually good 2024 PC games will run fine on a Steam Deck because they don't have high requirements.
>>11468785>Haven't been this excited for a new system in a while.I just don't get people like you.
>>11468838It's a GBA with a better screen, buttons, and powerful enough to emulate up to PS1.I don't understand your comment.A modded GBA costs anywhere from $160 - $300 right now and this thing is objectively better while only $60.
>>11468792>and for anything emulation related there's better form factors than that brick.Can't even match system coverage OR emulation quality OR latency.
>>11468835Sounds disgusting.
>>11468842>better buttonsFucking HOW? You're talking completely out of your ass.>up to PS1It does up to N64, DreamCast, and some PSP.
Update for >>11467895 and anyone who else may be interested, discord fren's gonna have a test print by tomorrow. If it goes well I'm actually hoping to make a version with an actual rubberized cap to feel more authentic. Been reading up on resin and silicone casting and I think it's pretty doable
>>11468860>Fucking HOWWell, for one thing there's four of them instead of the GBA's two. That's pretty huge.But secondly they're clicky. The GBA's buttons were squishy.
>>11468842>It's a GBAWhich you have been able to emulate on a great variety of handhelds for many years now.>better screensee above>buttonssee above>powerful enough to emulate up to ps1see aboveThing is I remember when actually playing the games was the draw of video gaming. Not *how* you play the games. If you were really super excited to be playing GBA games you'd be playing them right now. On whatever you could get your hands on. I remember playing Metroid Fusion when it was released via an emulator on a PC that wasn't powerful to play the game without frameskipping. On a keyboard. Why? Because I was genuinely excited for the actual game, the GBA was just a delivery mechanism. tbqh I consider your type of excitement to be fake excitement. Genuine excitement causes a person to go to lengths to get the experience any way they can asap. It's why I played fifth and sixth gen games on a shitty 13" CRT via RF cable with a 3rd party controller instead of saving my money for a bigger TV or an official controller, because I wanted the *games* more than any other part of the experience.
>>11468785I remember having the original GBA version of that. I'm sure this new system is going to be so much better. I can't wait to play SNES games on it, like Chrono Trigger, FF 6, SMB 3, SMW, and A Link To The Past. The GBA didn't have any good games.
>>11468785Mildly curious about 120hz and BFI, but the buttons sound terrible from every single review. Pass.
>>11468860"Up to" means it can do it can do the max system and under perfectly. psp, dc, n64 are a bonus that don't really run better than the 3326. Example, t618 is up to psp with ps2/gc as bonus systems because too much games run like shit.>>11468865Its chinaheld youtube commentor HYPEspeak.
>>11468865Can I not enjoy what I want to enjoy?I've been playing Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories on my Ally X through the collection available on Steam.I'd still prefer to play it on a GBA, and I don't have my childhood GBA so this is the best option I have to do that.I've never played Metroid Fusion. I have the rom ready when the system gets here because it's a game I'm looking forward to playing on it.I had a GBA when I was a kid. Having the RG34XX will be a bit of nostalgia, and what I believe is the best way for me to experience GBA games I missed out on or want to revisit.>I remember playing Metroid Fusion when it was released via an emulator on a PC that wasn't powerful to play the game without frameskipping. On a keyboard. You may have been able to put up with that when you were younger and didn't have any other options to play the game, but I wouldn't be able to enjoy the game that way.
>>11468863>Well, for one thing there's four of them instead of the GBA's two. That's pretty huge.Not the Anon you were talking to, but stop being a zoomer nigger who thinks more buttons means better. Christ alive, the amount of useless retards who scream and wail about the GBA needing four face buttons, but who have never played a GBA is astounding. Even some who have played a GBA parrot that shit.
>>11468880No, you're cancer.
>>11468867Kek
>>11468884You need four buttons to play PS1 and SNES games, anon.
>>11468884They're right.
>>11468863>or one thing there's four of them instead of the GBA's two.At the expense of not having the exact same button placement of the GBA. That's a negative for a handheld that leans so hard into replicating the GBA form factor.>But secondly they're clicky. The GBA's buttons were squishy.And this is even worse. The buttons should be as close to the originals as possible in a handheld like this. I would only ever consider this thing as a GBA emulation specific device, and that means making as much like the GBA as possible, warts and all. Compromising halfway makes it a strictly worse option compared to several of Anbernic's other handhelds.
>>11468884The original GBA did need four buttons on the face. But since it did not have them then neither should this device.
>>11468896>I would only ever consider this thing as a GBA emulation specific deviceI have no other emulation handhelds. I'm going to be using the RG34XX as a GBA, SNES, PS1, Gameboy, Gameboy Color, and Portmaster machine (Sonic Mania and Stardew Valley mostly)I'll also be using it as an MP3 player, but that's pretty niche.
>>11468880I also have fond memories of my silver-shell GBA, it kept me sane through some trying times. The 34XX doesn't offer anything that hasn't already been seen, however.The 34XX's only real purpose seems to be GB/GBC/GBA emulation, since the button layout only really affords X/Y to be turbo buttons. It will be nice to play GBA on a backlit 3:2 screen that doesn't require $100 worth of modding, and having extra shoulder buttons for hotkeys is nice, but 'exciting' isn't really a word that should be used for the 34XX.It's a chinkheld using Anbernic's seemingly favorite chip. It offers nothing else above the other options released this year, save for form factor and the volume-rocker thing.
>>11468915>save for form factor and the volume-rocker thingI guess I'm weird, then? That's enough for me.
>>11468939RG 34XX from Anbernic
>>114673841.14 also fixed the EZ-Flash Jr. but I believe you still need 1.5e on the EZFJ for it to work fine. I still have issues on colored hacks for GB games but everything that was causing me issues on 1.10 is now working just fine including romhacks like Kirby's Tilt n' Tumble with the d-pad.
What's a good jump up from the R2PS? Probably looking at a RP 3 or 4 but not anytime soon as I still have plenty I can play on this.
The RP5 shilling is getting to me. Is it a good one and done handheld if I only plan to play up to GC and PS2 (and maybe some Vita)?
>>11469002RP3 basically has the exact same chipset as the RP2S, you'd be wasting your money getting one. The RP4 Pro (specifically the pro model, regular RP4 has a weaker chipset) would be the closest thing to an upgrade. >>11469003RP5 should in theory be capable, but not that much more than the RP4 Pro for PS2/GC emulation. If that's what you want you're better off getting a device with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 inside, or even a Steam Deck.
>>11469013something about the RP4 rubs me the wrong way I think it's the switchlike shape of the console but if they ever go under 150$ for a pro I'll consider it
>>11467280what the fuckthat's spooky but it worked
>>11468865youre 100% correct but in the wrong thread. this is a place for people to get "hyped" over worthless chinkplastic.
>>11468870>Mildly curious about 120hz and BFIwat it has that shit?
>have to reformat my sd card as an internal if I want to ftp shitBRO WHY
>>11468809Lollipop chainsaw is just a remake of a 2011s game.
>>11468836I don't know. Hell divers 2 runs pretty badly on the deck without killing the graphics. Silent Hill 2 remake is unplayable after eastside apartments. Wukong shits itself after the first area. FF16 can't even hold a steady 30 fps even with fsr. There's lots more examples but I returned my deck awhile ago.
>>11469162Then would Visions of Mana count?I have to use FSR, but I can play it at 60 FPS perfectly fine.
>>11468785Mine should be coming tomorrow unless EVRI fuck up. I'm looking forward to it as while I like the GBA's form factor the screen is just too small
>>11468865>tbqh I consider your type of excitement to be fake excitementIs this really the point we're at now? We've become so fucking miserable and neckbeardy that we're gatekeeping the concept of joy itself? We're in /vr/ faggot, "being excited for things we're nostalgic about" is literally the point. What you gonna do next big shot, go to /a/ to complain about weebs? Mosey on over to /lit/ to tell people how boring reading is? Though for you that's probably true since you can't even take the time to read the name of the fucking board. Fuck, I actually remember a time where the people on this site actually liked the things they talked about, but now everyone's just some pissy edgelord who thinks saying "nigger" is the height of comedy and feeling any emotion besides bitter apathy is "cringe". Where the fuck did this site's soul go?
anything shaped like the RP2S with more power for gc/ps2?
>>11469219If you're willing to spend the money, the Retroid Mini is basically just a 2S Pro.

>>11469220I'm a big fan of the mini even though most seem to prefer RP5. Very comfortable Animal Crossing gamecube machine
>>11469224The mini IMO would be peak if the screen scaling issue wasn't there, I love my shaders so not being able to use em is a dealbreaker
Got an R36S as a Christmas gift and it's a nice little thing. The screen is nice and it feels good in the hand. Looking up shit about it it seems that it's best to get a new microSD and re-flash a newer version of the OS which I might do in the future. Otherwise very recommended from that time I've played with it already.
>>11469229Tbh, I'd get a new card ASAP. The issue isn't just the old OS being kinda lousy, but also the cheap knockoff SD cards they use have a high failure/corruption rate. It's typically best to always replace cards if it's from a cheaper brand
>>11469235At least if it corrupts beforehand I ain't losing much besides the pre-loaded roms. Need to get an SD card reader.
>>11469227Aren't retroid meant to be fixing that?
>>11469279They are but they've been very vague about how long it'll take. They've been aware for a month and haven't given any reports beyond "We're working on it". If the screen gets fixed then it's peak, but I never buy into a product on the promise of what it may EVENTUALLY do
>>11469285Understandable. They have been pretty lousy regarding the launch of both that andRP5
>>11469286I'd actually pre-ordered the Mini because, in my opinion, the 2S and 4P (which I also had) were surprisingly good, and what issues the 4P had were fixed within like 2 weeks of launch. Was really bummed about the screen problem because a 960p 4:3 is basically the ultimate retro display, it's integer scaling's amazing...and then the screen was incapable of pixel perfect display. I wound up recently ordering a 5
>>11469291What site is that? Looks useful.
>>11469306https://shauninman.com/utils/screens/
>>11469314Thanks.I'm a dumbass and didn't read the OP.Second question: Why does it show that SNES scales improperly on all of the 4:3 screens? Weren't all CRTs back then 4:3?
>>11469315NES and SNES were slightly stretched, as were many pre-digital home consoles. CRTs didn't have a fixed resolution, so companies didn't care about matching a specific size, they'd just output as high as they could without breaking the bank or the system.
>>11469323I fear I'm going to start a debate with this, but would that mean 4:3 isn't the best ratio to aim for when emulating those systems?
>>11469326They all aimed for 4:3 but were not pixel perfect.So it's literally the best compromise you can get.
Can I get the RP5 to stop charigng at 80% automatically?My Android phone can do it but I don't see an option like that in the RP5 ROM.
>>11469326Maybe, but the way I see it there was never a "proper" way to look at the games visually pre-digital anyways. People were regularly using different video signals on different CRTs with differently shaped masks on them, hell most games would intentionally leave blank space around the edges because there was no way of knowing how much of the screen would be cut off by the person's overscan.Tl;dr, 4:3's a good all-arounder, but there's no hard rules, so just whatever feels good.
What am I doing wrong with my rp2s? They say it emulates up to dreamcast perfectly, yet im getting fps drops to low 40s in jet grind radio and crazy taxi 2.I checked the settings and apart from frameskip which was already on theres nothing to change in redream.
>>11469339Have you tried flycast?
>>11469340I did try flycast but its full of graphical errors for jet set radio at least.
>>11469341Gonna rapid fire suggestions/questions cause it's faster than a back and forth:Are you using high performance mode?Are you using Vulkan?Are you using standalone or an RA core?
>>11469342Yes im using performance and extreme, doesn’t seem to make a difference.Im using the standalone emulator newest version from the playstore (free one) and afaik theres no way to change from opengl to vulkan.
>>11469339>>11469341>>11469353nta but often times consoles like these will say it plays up to psp and morethe more like dreamcast is only for certain games where the framerate or action is lowered. you can expect choppy gameplay when emulating 3d games. it will probably run smoothly if you try emulation 2d games from dreamcast. street fighter 3.
Before I pull the trigger on a RP5. how do you expect them to upgrade it with the RP6? Are there any better chips out there than the snapdragon 865?
>>11469363The 8Gen2 inside the Odin.
>>11469363modular controls
>>11469367>look up reviews>Snapdragon 8 gen 2 is only better for switch and PC gaming emulationYeah I guess I'll get the RP5 then, there's no point getting a more expensive device for games I dont even want to emulate.
>>11469373There's also the Snapdragon X, though that's more Ryzen level.
>>11469359I mean windwaker runs smooth at 30 fps for the most part. Though i enabled vsync now and it doesnt drop below 60.
>>11469382isn't windwaker easier to run than jet set though, jet set has lighting every time they skate on rails. probably harder to emulate than wind waker
>>11466972https://retrocatalog.com/
>>11469391I dunno i just thought it was weird considering every emulation vid i saw of the rp2s it was running literally every dc game 60 fps without drops. But i guess they were running vsync.
>>11469102Yeah, mine came with the bezel slight elevated on one side but I shrugged it off as a chink thing, I'm not retarded to try and fix it and just make it worse.Then I lent it to a toddler to play with and the fucker fucking pushed the screen in with tard strength and fixed it LMAO
You don't need anything more than a TrimUI Brick.
>>11469503>No sticksYou need at least one for N64, some PS1 and Gamecube.
RP1S>>11469503I think it's a better product than the Smart Pro. Unless they do a version that's 4:3 and have clickable L/R3
>>11469508>N64Nothing worth emulating. >PS1Majority of the best games don't need a stick>GamecubeLol expecting One of these handhelds to do gamecube kek.
>>11469516>N64>Nothing worth emulatingYou take that the fuck back
>>11469516>Lol expecting One of these handhelds to do gamecube kekYou literally have people in this thread talking about Steam Decks and ROG Ally systems.I have an RG 406V that plays GC/PS2 perfectly fine.
>>11469527>Lists devices over $200I would expect those to retard. Brick is like $60. Also handheld GC sucks. Play it as it's meant to be played on a TV.
>>11469521>worth emulating>links a game with a source portyawn
>>11469531>over $200
Im planning on getting a brick RG35XX for a friend who has never gamed retro games and doesn't understand the hype behind games like resident evil or final fantasy 7 I don't want to spend too much just in case they don't appreciate it. is it possible to connect the device to PC and backup all the SD card that way? do you have to format the SD card a certain way.sorry for all the questions, I don't own any of these devices yet
>>11469503>Vertislop>Generates more heat than the shart3566 for fucking game boy>Ayaneo design>Only slightly more powerful than the average 3326.>Doesn’t matter, because portmaster is complete shitKekypow! Trimui is somehow more worthless than powkiddy. Hell, powkiddy’s latest devices aren’t even bad these days.>>11469516>Miyooshill tier defense tacticPathetic
>>11469531>Trimui shill so retarded, he buys his chinkhelds on fucking Amazon. A storefront that sells famiclones for 30 bucks.
>>11469540Yes you'd feel more heat on a device when the back is full metal anon. Good job.
>>11469545>The allwinner chip Trimui picked is so shit, not only does it need a literal block of a thermal pad, it also needs metal plating for safe heat distribution for gameboyKWAKC Kek, what a kissless chink.
>>11469543not them but some companies like anbernic don't ship where im at, the only option to have it shipped here is literally amazon.
>>11469363They aren't going to compete with themselves (Ayn). At best, a 6 will have a slightly better snapdragon but won't be on the level of the odin. Don't forget, retroid was going to release the 5 with 6 gig ram and Android 11 until they got negative feedback. I expect them to try something silly again with the 6. One step forward and two steps back
>>11469581*Moorechip. Ayn are the team that worked on the more powerful jxd handhelds while retroid are their own thing. They started to piggyback their design conventions when their own weren't working out.
>People still sleeping on the 406V/HGood. Fucking morons keep buying underpowered garbage or massive mini PCs that cost over 500 dollars and can only play games already ported to the Switch.
>>11469745What's with the crazy 406 shippers ?
>>11469503what does it even do that the other non-game boys don't
>>11469751The Unisoc T820 CPU in it is massively more powerful than the usual RK3566 CPU in slightly older handhelds. It's a generational upgrade.https://gadgetversus.com/processor/rockchip-rk3566-vs-unisoc-tiger-t820/
>>11469152Not officially. I thought it was just the cube that did it though.
>>11469394What gamecube games can the 3566 actually run?
got an ags-101 for $85. need to replace shoulder buttons but otherwise it seems okay. good screen. better than that laminated ips shit.
>>11469851That's all you got? It's better than RK3566?
>>11469864Is the shell original or replaced? I had an oynx SP but don't remember it having black buttons
>>11469878the ags-101's have different color combos. that one is graphite. i also have an onyx 001.
>>11466972I haven't posted on /hhg/ in a while, I used to play with a Samsung Galaxy M30, and a MOCUTE 060 controller, but my main smartphone, a Samsung Galaxy A14, died on me suddently and, instead of buying a new one, I just took the one I used for emulation and reset it to use it as my daily driver. I got a used tablet, a Samsung Galaxy Tab A8, a few months back, but my controller didn't fit...Anyways, this Christmas my fiancee gave me this, an IPEGA PG9083, and it fits perfectly, it's also a lot better than using my smartphone since I can properly use CRT shaders now. it's been so fun.I hope you all got great presents this Christmas, and that we can all keep having fun playing our portable devices, even if they're not so portable afterall, like my current setup, still fun though.
>>11469887Ah my bad then. Looks like a good deal for $85
>>11469871Give him a break. He probably forgot the 4/pro are still being produced.>>11469896Good to know you're still alive, segabro. How's the dpad on that thing? Ipega dpads range from complete shit to surprisingly decent in my experience
Is Retroid better than Anbernic?
>>11469965Yes but they need a clamshell
>>11469912It's... subpar. I mean, it's playable, I've been enjoying my time with the controller and everything so far just works, but that's all it does, especially the d-pad. It's a cheap plastic, the directions themselves are kind of thin and slightly curved around the edges, and it's very loose, overall not the best feel and I'm getting false diagonals, but I need more time with it.It's not good, objectively, but relative to the price? It's fine, and probably one of the few cheap controllers that fit a tablet without any sort of tinkering or modifications to it I guess.
>>11469912>>11469989One more thing I forgot to mention, that's just a pet peeve of mine, is that the d-pad is too close to the edge of the controller, I wish it was a bit more to the right, below the analog stick, in it's current position it's not as comfortable as I'd like.Again, it's just a pet peeve, I can play just fine, I just beat Terminator 2: Judgement Day on the Master System for the 1st time, and it was good, eventually I just got used to the feel of the d-pad and it's position, but it's still not ideal in my eyes
>>11469897i just wish i hadn't spent $100+ already on buying the 001 and modding it with an ips screen. my opinion on ips mod kits completely changed after learning about how modretro made their screen.
>>11469965No.Retoid is only good because they use Android, which is the best OS for emulation. Anbernic devices that use Android are way better than Retroid's.
>>11470004highspeedido ips screen on the left (with gridlines shader active) vs an ags-101 on the right
>>11470004I've had an IPS game boy color in the past but something about it I just didn't like
>>11469965Easily. And the mogging only gets more brutal once you're comparing Android chinkhelds directly.
>>11470006>Anbernic devices that use Android are way better than Retroid'sMax, What the fuck?
Anbernic is the best.Retroidtrannies are subhuman.
Retroid is the best. Max zhou and his tard flock are even below chinks
Zhang sisters... our response?
Should I get a RP4 Pro?I hate how phone-like the RP5 looks.
>>11470137Wait for RP6
Retroid will surpass Anbernic once they release a functioning flip device.
>>11470143>RP6 looks even more phone-like
>>11470147RP Flip was good...but hinge feeds too delicate.
>>11470171I wonder if they're afraid of making a Flip 2 because of all the hinge memes.
>>11470171If a clamshell's hinge is shit. The clamshell is shit. With this logic however, the v90 and x18/s are the best,>>11470174They weren't even memes. Retroid suffered a severe blow of their funds with returns/repairs. Unless they swallow their pride and just copy the x18's hinge, the flip 2 will remain a dream
>>11470174>defects that tender the device unusable are just "memes"Death to all shills.
>>11470258Russ truly fucked people's brains. You could tell the flop was a piece of shit in the first video, but he pretends the hinge is perfectly fine while shitting on a device with a good one. I will be fair in that the x18s controls are beyond shit.
TSPv2 with hall effect sticks would destroy the sub $100 market
>>11467034I got a MM+ recently but I'm having second thoughts, even tho it's decent at what it does. I have a S24 too so maybe I should ditch the Miyoo and set my phone up for emulation. But in the other hand phone+controller setups get pretty big, and I like having a dedicated wifi-less device. I just don't know. Having too many options gives me brain damage.
>>11469539the stock cards are prone to failing you will want to ditch it and use your own
>>11470316Not unless they upgrade the chip.
>>11470401And the stick height. The sticks are recessed to the point they feel worse than sliders. They even have less range than sliders.
>>11470375Miyooshit is way too weak.It can't even handle some SNES games without overclocking.
>>11469019It's just a phone/tablet shape. The switch is shaped like a phone/tablet (tbf the regular switch literally is a tablet with clip on controls)
Anyone have the Backbone controller for your phone? I was thinking of buying one to use with emulators.
>>11470654I use one and I really like it. very responsive and comfy in my hands. dpad, shoulder buttons, sticks all feel great. the buttons are little too small and clicky for my tastes but its a minor complaint.
>>11468915it has prefect :2 scaling on a system that plays gba with fast forward, save states, and every other emulation QoL. It's a beer gba. Your nodded gba is fucking gay, get over it eunuch.
>>11470427that's false. Plays every snes game fine.
Actual question from a guy who hasn't been on this site since 2008.Why are people like this:>>11470684Sure 4chan has always been an anonymous trash heap, but we were at least productive back then.
>>11470693Fuck off retard.
>>11470670Nice. Did you buy the standard version or the PlayStation edition?
Got my Revo K101 Plus in today too! This is actually still a pretty neat little thing, for it being an older device. Plays my Everdrive and original carts with no problems. Haven't tried out the K-Card yet, I need to pick up another spare SD. The screen is nice and bright too and you can switch between a couple different resolutions which is nice. I really like how clicky the shoulder buttons are, the face buttons aren't bad, but the D-Pad could stand to be a bit better. It's not too bad, probably better than the original GBA's to be quite desu, but it isn't passing the "Contra test" lol. I can live with it though.>>11468996That's cool. Probably came in handy for a lot of people that they fixed that. Also, double checking, any USB-C charger should do fine for charging it, right? I didn't have a spare so somebody just gave me one that I assume should just be fine, but just wanted to double check.Also, what color is yours? It's always neat seeing what colorways people go for theirs.
>>11470828>Also, double checking, any USB-C charger should do fine for charging it, right?As far as I know, yeah. I just stick mine into my PC when I mess with it to be honest.
>>11470832kys triptroon
>>11470828is game boy/color emulation any good on this?
>>11467006Might buy one. I just don't trust the other companies even though that's probably baseless.
>>11470832Nice. Those orange buttons look sweet btw.>>11470847Haven't given it a try yet, but apparently it works well. Not my pic, but it apparently also supports borders Super Game Boy style.
>>11470857Asus has a mean RMA streak these past years to the point even mobo buyers got burned, plus they pretended the SD reader on the Ally was fine until now.
>>11470876To be fair the Rog Ally X seems to have zero issues so far.
>>11470832What Peanuts game is that? I'm asking because for some reason there's a handful of Japanese exclusive titles, for some reason or another. Never knew the series was that popular there.
>>11470932https://www.romhacking.net/translations/2643/

I want to blow the tits off PS2 emulation (And maybe GameCube). Is the RP5 good enough or do I have to go for an Odin 2? Or is that too much of a compromise and might as well step up to something like a Deck? Or am I overlooking something obvious?
>>11468764Give it Linux and a CPU on-par or slightly more powerful than the Brick and you'll have something from Miyoo worth buying.
>>11471005RP5 runs every PS2 game fine but there are a few exceptions due to emulator issues that requires bruteforcing that only a PC can do. So go check out compatibility before pulling the trigger but it should be 99% there.
>>11469859https://youtu.be/KLEya8tMtLo
>>11471005RP5 lets you run everything that matters. If you want to be sure than get an Odin 2.

Anyone here play the fan translation of Animal Crossing for the N64? I have heard reports that it is prone to crashing and I want to know if you’ve experienced that. If so, I’ll just play the untranslated version.
>>11471138Not sure myself, but out of curiosity, why not just do the gamecube version? Isn't that literally just the N64 game with a few added features?
>>11471147I’m on IOS, we don’t have a GameCube emulator yet.
>>11471147https://tcrf.net/Animal_Crossing/Version_DifferencesThe tl;dr is that it's mostly holiday and cosmetic changes. The rereleases and GC release added significant quality of life changes that I would argue makes Animal Forest a terrible version to play unless you are willing to waste time watching fish bounce, not getting rare furniture from Gulliver with a guarantee, having more restrictions, needing to mess around with the menus way more, etc.
>>11471059Just needs a little frame skip anon. The miyoo flip will be a gamecube beast!

GF got me a miyoo mini plus. already had a miyoo mini v4, and a got a r36s not too long ago. so far, the miyoo mini plus is my favorite form factor wise, but the r36s actually isn't too bad either. only thing i didn't really care for with the mini plus is that the battery shakes in the compartment for some reason. put some foam in there and it's fine now but that was kinda gay.what's your favorite handheld?
>>11469229double check your version by enabling fps counter in retroarch. if it shows up as 70-75hz, you're going to get mad stutter in your games unless you flash a very specific version of the firmware on that thing. if it shows up at 60fps in the menu, you're g2g.
>>11471202Looking around R36S guides it seems to be a good idea to flash the RG351MP image to a microSD and replace a file with rk3326-rg351mp-linux.dtb, which then it should be updated and work properly.Then you should get another bigger microSD and let the R36S format it into a games drive and then put your own games on it. Sounds easy enough.
>>11471198>what's your favorite handheld?I've owned an Odin Lite, RG353V, Retroid 2S, Retroid 4 Pro, and Retroid Mini, and out of all of em I'd have to give it to the 4 Pro. Just big enough for a good screen while still being pocketable, gamecube games just worked out of the box, was nice. It would have been mini if they hadn't fucked up the screen scaling, though.Worst would have to be Odin Lite, cause despite every single reviewer jerking it off till it was raw, NO ONE mentioned that there was over 500ms of input lag (probably much more but I didn't sit down and measure). Apparently it was eventually fixed in an update that took a half year to come out but I was pissed to find out I'd spent $200 on something borderline unplayable. It was actually my first time dipping my toes into this space, and I was so pissed I sold the Lite the same day I bought it and used the money for the RG353V.
Just bought a purple TrimUI Brick.
>>11471245whats the point of l2/r2 on a handheld that has no analog sticks?
>>11471250You need to be 18 to post here senpai
>>11471239500 ms is fucking retarded. i don't blame you one bit.
>>11471239Thats the rule of thumb with all these handhelds desu. Wait 6 months before you buy one because first months are fucking rough.
>>11471253no really what consoles match this button layout? only one i can think of is psone but even then it's not ideal for the entire library.
>>11471286Literally who cares, The only PS1 game that actually needs analouge is Ape Escape.We have enough chinkhelds with shitty switch joysticks attached with a gay little LED circle around it so you can show off your trans flag.
>>11467764Anyone here with a 3D printer and a Retroid/Odin device wanna lend a hand? Still trying to make these sticks and I don't have access to a printer for rapid prototyping (and am also too much of a poorfag to get one). This just the base, I wanna make sure it's a good fit.https://www.mediafire.com/file/40kuefn7s7wml92/stick_plug.stl/file>>11471278So I looked back for my original order confirmation email to see when I bought it and it turns out I got my lite six months after launch. I know that it was eventually fixed a few months after, so that means that fucker went like 8-9 months with unplayable lag. Jesus.
>>11471183>>11471193Backbone can't connect to Switch while BSP can.
>>11471291Fuck you
>>11471319I accept your concession
>>11471323Sticks are good as long as they aren't the Nintendo switch style
Tbf if you really wanted to majority of these devices have bluetooth so just use a bluetooth controller if you really want the sticks.
The brick is worth it for the screen. Pixel perfect scaling is attainable for most retro games and it looks so sharp without using shaders.Seems to run Stardew Valley in native res really well via portmaster without any dips from what I can tell that is. Just wish Knulli or CrossMix devs would fucking hurry up.
>>11471365>just defeat the point of the device
>>11471291Newer chinkhelds are using non switch hall sticks. They’re cheap. Powkiddy’s next handheld up is using it and everything magic x makes after their first handheld don’t use switch sticks.
Oh shiiiit it's here
>>11471473why don't they give them snappier names?
>>11471487Cause then they'd have to think of clever names for like 14 consoles a year
What does Anbernic even mean?
>>11471497Nothing.https://trademarks.justia.com/877/50/anbernic-87750983.html>The wording "ANBERNIC" has no meaning in a foreign language.Chatgpt says it might be interpreted as "peace+stability" in some Chinese languages.
>>11471497An-ber-nicNin-ten-doThe Anbernic logo is inspired by the Gameboy Advance logo and the Nintendo logo. It's a made up word that is supposed to evoke Nintendo without stepping on anyone's toes.
Purple one looked the best desu
>>11471198>what's your favorite handheld?my odin2 and 'nig SP
>>11471521Meanwhile 8bitDo insists people call them, "8-Bit Doo" but of fucking course everyone is going to pronounce it like "dough" as in Nintendo.
>>11467525I also think about that and looking for a solution. But the device is hefty and carrying an extra attachable or mini gamepad will be tough outside.I check keys often and they seem to hold up well. since this is made as a business phone and obviously there is literally a keyboard for it, and as a one time product they must have thought about long life keys.I'm still trying to find a mobile controller that can fit in my pockets and handle this 300g brick.>>11468112It can easily handle native res ps2 with accuracy options without heating.https://files.catbox.moe/tikc13.mp4
Impressions.. I prefer the feel of the dpad to the OEM GBA one, but the rest of the buttons don't feel quite as good. Increased screen real estate is nice, though IPS just doesn't look as great as nintendo's official displays. I may get used to it, but for now I have some buyer's remorse and think AGS-101 SP is still the definitive way to play.
>>11469229wow push that car back inside there, hahacrazy!
>>11468138I don't know but dolphin feels retarded with it's hard-split screen that force shows the game only on top half of the display. Could not find any solution to that yet.
>>11471847Everyone who isn't a shill says the d-pad and buttons are actually pretty fucking horrible, especially the L2/R2. The RG34XX really feels like a backburner idea they only put out because they have nothing else to offer in the moment.
>>11471916Yeah I think they just wanted to say they released a handheld every month in 2024
>>11469229It's a really nice screen considering the price.>>11469243I think you'll be fine. I usually use the stock cards on these things for a little while before switching over. They're cheap but they're not bad to the point of insta failing
>>11469323>>11469326>>11469331I assumed devs were aware of this and all compensated for how games would look on the average 4:3 screen.
>>11471916Horrible as in worse than the og gba dpad?
>>11471937I find it it easier to press than that but cant comment on false diagonals or anything
>>11470990I have no clue how this is supposed to work.
>>11472017Magnets + hinge
Was playing more Sims Bustin' Out on the new ambernic and my character phased out of bounds while riding the scooter and softlocked the game. This has never happened on real hardware. Not sure if it's a general emulator issue or something to do with the refresh rate
>>11472083You deserve it.
>>11471627Blud, don't do it...
>>11472192Can you explain why or what would be a better pick for around that price?
>>11472205It's not powerful.The screen is wasted on it.It can handle up to SNES fine, I guess.
>>11472226Brick plays PS1/DC/N64 fine.
>>11472473youre playing n64 games with four face buttons and no stick?
>>11471291>>11471365the psp had an analog stick 20 years ago
I would rather the RG 406V did not have analog sticks. They are in a position that would make them very uncomfortable to use, and they are really too small anyway. I'm waiting on a Unisoc T820 successor to the RG Arc D.
>>11472498The grips on the back of it make them more comfortable than you would think.
>>11472473Fine means x1 res at a barely steady framerate on launch games and 9 fps on anything more complex.
>>11472498I use my 406V mostly for 2D games with the Dpad. It's never been uncomfortable.
will you be getting the new steam deck mini™?
>>11472498Same. Lots of people complaining the sticks' caps break every other week too.
>>11467006i got the LCD and i kinda wish i got the OLED because i mostly play late at night in bed when im about to fall asleep and its stupid seeing black parts of the screen be lit up and knowing its reducing my melatonin production and wasting the battery life just to look really bad when my surroundings have no light but eh i didnt want to spend that much on a fucking handheld and then be so worried about it getting broken>>11469170thats a very small handful of new games that arent abysmal and they arent even good enough for me to have bothered to buy or even pirate any of them for my PC which would easily run them very well
>>11472518i’d be more willing to get this than the regular. the steamdeck is waaaay too big for a handheld.
>>11472540>the steamdeck is waaaay too big for a handheld.Why do people say this? Weak wrists? Steam Deck is perfectly fine as a handheld.
>>11472539>i mostly play late at night in bed when im about to fall asleep and its stupid seeing black parts of the screen be lit up and knowing its reducing my melatonin productionNigger, it's not light that keeps from sleeping. It's you playing games instead of trying to sleep.Doing other shit lying in your bed just trains your body to not sleep while in bed.
>>11472540No, you wouldn't. You'd have bought the too small for their own good UMPCs on the market.
>>11472542Because they think it's bigger than it actually is. The new Switch will be just as big and people will basedface all over it.
>>11472543>Nigger, it's not light that keeps from sleeping. It's you playing games instead of trying to sleep.depends on the game, some put me to sleep much quicker than anything else could even just closing my eyes and clearing my mind as best i can, they can kind of put you in a trance when they're based on rhythm or movement and arent too challengingothers obviously can keep you up and i dont play those>Doing other shit lying in your bed just trains your body to not sleep while in bedthis only seems like its a problem if you dont get enough exercise and nutrition and keep your cortisol levels too low way too often by being too comfy until the cortisol levels start to rise overall at least a little and then never drop much from doing nothing and being comfy all the timei dont actually get kept awake by it noticably i just know that any extra light reduces melatonin production and since black on LCD is lit up for no reason its extra lighti obviously turn the overall light down low and use a blue light filter and im always passed out in 5-20 minutes every time, its far less bad than boomers falling asleep with their tv on all night making the whole room glow blue
>>11472521This happened to mine so I replaced them.
Pokemon historically has been a good game for me to fall asleep to. In retrospective I haven't beaten a Pokemon game since Silver/Gold...
do you guys think its safe to trust a random cheap as fuck adapter to send the proper voltage from a deck charger to the deck or should i just get some overpriced one for like ten fucking dollars which actually has reviews or stick with the cable sticking out awkwardly
do you guys know of a good case for the steam deck?i was about to buy this one when i looked at the weight and it shows its fucking 1.01 lbs which would almost double the weight of the entire deck.i guess that includes the face cover thing which you wouldnt have on it while using and the other attachments on the back but theres no telling how much of the weight that isi just want something that has a kickstand and can cover the face of it when not in use and this is the only one with both but its so weighty
>>11472518depends on the price
>>11472548nuh uh i just keep using a 3ds
>>11472630its $30i just realized its a fucking pound though and also i wish the lid would stay on so i could just close itso i found thishttps://a.co/d/cTaTcm2and it seems decent from the 1 fucking review it has except the guy gave it 1 star but the only problems he had with it were very superficial, complaining it took a long time to screw in a screw and that he had to remove a screw from the deck to install the case into that screw too
>>11472589>do you guys think its safe to trust a random cheap as fuck adapter to send the proper voltage from a deck charger to the deck or should i just get some overpriced one for like ten fucking dollars which actually has reviews or stick with the cable sticking out awkwardlyThat moment when you wonder whether retro game fans are genuinely retarded.
>>11472684i was heavily leaning on the "no" and stopped caring about getting some angled adapter for the charger. i dont really trust a more expensive adapter much more than a cheap one either
>>11472685>i was heavily leaning on the "no" and stopped caring about getting some angled adapter for the charger. i dont really trust a more expensive adapter much more than a cheap one eitherDo you have a high school diploma or even a GED? It sounds like you aren't smart enough to be making these kinds of decisions. Have you considered sending an email to Elon Musk to see what his opinion on this subject might be?
>>11472687damn some of you people are miserable
>>11472589You realize that the $10 ones are typically just those exact same ones as the $1 ones, right? The stuff you see on Amazon or a Five Below are just the $1 things you can buy and dropship bulk from AliExpress for $10 for a lot of 50 except they silkscreen their company name on it and maybe have nicer packaging than throwing it in a bag. Buying no-name adapters and hubs is typically fine.
>>11472518I am so happy almost every single handheld design I create, or at least the idea behind them, eventually get made one way or another.Learn to photoshop and you too can be heard by companies who otherwise don't care.
>>11472567They literally have Steam Deck and two Ayano Windows handhelds as demo stations in every fucking Walmart, dude. Everyone knows how fucking big they are, and you're the self-confessing ignorant retard claiming the Switch 2 is as big as the Deck.
>>11472725>'sharts>self-obsessed ignorant retardsPick two.
>>11472716Lol you thought that was real? It's a decent photoshop for a deck case except they got the proportions all wrong lol
>>11472725>Walk up to try the Steam Deck>The fucking Walmart literally just turned it on and plugged it in, didn't set fucking ANYTHING up>Blonde woman comes up trying to sell it to me like a fucking cars salesman>Tell her I just wanted to see how it plays but there isn't a single game installed on it for people to try>Her attitude turns to a chirpy aggressive salesman to a bitch-faced as all I am doing is showing disappointment that I can't... you know... demo the demo unit>She then tries to sell me on the Ayano Kun>Same fucking thing, nothing set up, you can literally just dick around in the Windows desktop and that's it>She's just given up on the salesman routine and is just standing there waiting for me to buy something or leave>Ask if they have any Android based gaming handhelds, she didn't know what the fuck I was talking about and thought I meant a Samsung phone>Obviously we're not on the same page at all, so why not fuck with her a little and ask about chinkheld brands like Miyoo, Anbernic, Powkiddy, just saying every chink brand I knew in the moment>She both looks confused wanting to answer the question, and frustrated that I'm taking so long for a sale in the fucking Walmarts electronics department>Answer for her with an, "No? Oh." and then just walked away>Came back two days later and still nobody has put a fucking single thing onto any of the gaming handhelds to try them>Fat dude with glasses employee approaches this time>"Nobody's put any games on these things yet to demo them?">"Nah, each Walmart has to make original accounts and then do the installation and anyone who wants one already knows that they do, don't know why they have demo units of these things.">"I see."
>>11472730Oh look,an image proving the Switch and Steam are not the same sizes at fucking all in any dimension. Not even the face buttons are the same size, you fucking retard.
>>11472736I legitimately thought it was real, but now I'm noticing it's photoshopped into her handsIt just makes fucking sense for a smaller, more ergonomic Deck
>>11472740So now we know obesity kills eyesight as well as neurons.
>>11472730You're the type of guy who tells women his dick is six inches long when in reality it's really like, only 3.5", kek.
>>11472730>>11472745And here come the ad hominems and projections because poor little anon wanted to double down on his Valve fanboyism. You come off as threatened/defensive.
>>11472517That looks really good, is that using an LCD filter or what
>>11472752You're demonstrably wrong and a dumb fat pig. Cope, greasy.
>>11472743LolYeah but it would have to be weaker than a bigger one and then a lot of games on steam wouldn't be able to run great but I'd still have possibly gotten that instead especially if it were considerably cheaper
>>11472770I know a lot of people think they're going to be able to enjoy playing most AAA PC titles on a handheld, but so many are just not feasible without a proper keyboard and mouse.
>>11472798The majority of PC games people are going to play on the Steam Deck are honestly console ports anyway, like Elden Ring and CoD.
>>11472737They have Steam Decks at Wal-Mart?
This but a game handheldhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iKiv5rnwKbI
>>11472817Mine did.https://www.walmart.ca/en/ip/Valve-Steam-Deck-7-Console-OLED-AMD-APU-16GB-RAM-512GB-Storage-Steam-OS-3-0/3399QXH2NSGJYou can use the store page to see if your local one does.
>>11472762Yeah, the bevel shader.
>>11471114It's shit. Painful sound popping and it's actually really uncomfortable. 353m was the last good device anbernic made and people slept on it because they over priced the fucking thing
>>11472835>RK3566
I got a Powkiddy on a whim and I just love it. Metal Max Returns rules but I don't know where I'm supposed to go next.
>>11472823i found an entire folder named bezel with lots of .slangp shaders, none named bezel that i see so fartheres a million different filepaths to look...
There is really no difference between using retroarch vs standalone emulators. Performance wise it's negligible and the only thing that is brought up between this topic is how retroarch has way too many menus hidden in different places. People are also still split between using the cores for the later systems (PS2, PSP,). Where most lean towards just saying anything at and before the 5th gen to use retroarch and 6th and beyond use their standalones.
>>11472068Sounds fragile and unergonomic. Not to mention how wasteful that is to any excess space that could've been dedicated to battery size or something else. Don't expect good battery considering. If it doesn't turn out ultra thick, it may be thin like a phone/ tablet hinged together, meaning less battery than an integral handheld.
>>11472518I'll wait for their fusion laptop. A 16:10, 9" or so double folded to be the same area as a og 3ds should be pocket-able.
>>11472083Stock sdcard? Either xd failure or the bad rom>>11472184Max...
>>11472854It's in the handheld folder.
>>11472692Coomlecting handheld devices and watching too much youtube fries your brain.>>11472836Someone will make a 3588 chinkheld one day. Then linux chinkhelds will be the one’s laughing for once.
>>11472716Uncomfortable thumbstick positions. Directly below the dpad and buttons sucks.
Got to mess with the GB/C emulation on my K101. Overall, it's pretty good. The included flashcart plays the files off the SD in folders and all that just fine. SGB enhanced games auto-load the borders and some look pretty cool. The only weird one I've noticed so far is Kirby's here, that gets kinda cut-off. One hiccup though, is that newer hacks/homebrew don't seem to work too good. Super Mario Bros Mini and Chromatic Tetris get a lot of slowdown at times, especially when there's too many sprites on screen. And then there's the odd GBA hack like some of the Touhoumon's that need the Save Type to be changed to Flash 128kb to properly work, and since you can't do that on this cart, some of them just won't load at all. That being said, I've got an Everdrive GBA Mini that works perfectly and doesn't have any of these issues, so I'll just use that lol. It's nice to have the option of their flashcart too I guess. The purple is a nice color.
>>11472901
>>11472987The Switch doesn't suffer from latency due to the joycon connections, why should this? Right?
any chinkers here who actually actively use their chinky to play SNES and NES games? What specifically do you use to make them not look like shit if you arent using integer scaling?
>>11468171What about that $300 modretro thing?
>>11467518>pre-installed SD cards>It would take me months to get a full PS2/PSP collectionbro learn to look around a little, jesus man
>>11473017I think that one Razer gaming phone thingamajack used magnets and was fine. This shouldn’t be any different. Looks really stupid, but might be peak performance>>11473043>SnesI don’t use a shader on my shartui, so I can’t really tell if it looks like shit.
how do you edit reshade settings for reshadeck?i got a pack of the standard retro shaders working because they all have presets i guess but i installed crt royale and when i choose it nothing happens but id need to edit the settings anyway
>>11473043sharp-shimmerless-shader works for me. Some swear by pixel_AA.
>>11473165>>11473074What scaling do you use? Bilinear + non-integer?
>>11473215No, interpolation shaders look sharper than bilinear filtering. Though I prefer SNES and NES on Pixel Aspect Ratio integer overscale on the RGB30, shimmerless serves me well for every non-integer 4:3 and 2D purpose.https://shauninman.com/utils/screens/#src_screen:13,src_nn:1,src_crop:1,src_width:256,src_height:224,dst_screen:3,dst_width:720,dst_height:720,dst_size:4,show_all:0https://shauninman.com/utils/screens/#src_screen:11,src_nn:1,src_crop:1,src_width:256,src_height:240,dst_screen:3,dst_width:720,dst_height:720,dst_size:4,show_all:0
>>11472835>it's actually really uncomfortableCan confirm that you're completely full of shit on this, most comfortable flat system on the market. And that flatness is the reason why it's able to have a decently big screen but also still be easily pocketable, so while grips would most likely make it more comfortable still like on the 406H, I'll keep the slimmer profile.
>>11472987
Finally got a backbone controller and set up my s24 today. Surprised how well gc/ps2 runs, I've got zero issues. It's comfy time
>>11473280No shit, you're running the (second?) best Snapdragon.
What are good retroarch shaders for n64/ps1? I don't want to download extra stuff.
>>11468764>Same fuck-awful Vita 2000-clone sticks as the shartui pro >Now made worse by cramming them in the lameboy form factor Yea, nah.
>>11473323Correction, lameboy color. Least they’re aren’t recessed to the point of being unusable like the shartui. I can see the flip selling well, but this might just be a repeat of the s30
>>11472513The way it's meant to be played. True retro experience. Retroid 6x res niggers need not apply.
>>11473043Played a shitload of NES and SNES on my RG405V running GammaOS, I didn't need to use shaders since they already looked great. Sold the 405V to a friend when I bought the 406V and I'm still waiting for it but apparently the screen is a huge improvement.
>>11473321I just use zfast-crt-composite with a scanline 240p overlay.Gives it a sharp but slightly blurry image and honestly looks pretty close to what I remember when I was playing games on a crt.
My uncle works for Anbernic and told me the RG507V will be unveiled within two months."5 inch 4:3 1440x1080snapdragon"
No shaders, no play!
My uncle works for Retroid and told me the Retroid Pocket 5 Pro will be unveiled within two months."6 inch 2:1 2160x1080snapdragon 8 gen 3 12GB RAM" $300
>>11473629That’s not what CRTs looked like. Enjoy playing your game through a screen door.
>>11473629You can turn down the scanlines effect to get a closer approximation of a crt
>>11473629>Heres a CRT look>Doesn't use 1x resThis is why you guys are retarded.
>>11471365>bluetooth controller at that point you rather use phone or firestick tv
>>11473685I mean the RG35XX+ can do HDMI out, so that works pretty well. Tested it myself if I wanted to play on a TV, just plugged a charger in and mini hdmi to hdmi and bluetoothed a xbox one controller. Worked very well.
>>11473631So it's an Odin 2 with a Retroid sticker on it?
>>11473759Odin 2 is Snapdragon 8 Gen 2
>>11473636Most crts werent that small either so the point is moot.
>>11473271Buy any anbernic shit you want, it's not comfortable. The analog is both too close to the d pad and sticks out way to far so enjoy rubbing your thumb up on the stick when your using the primary buttons. You must already have hearing problems too if you think that device is worth shit with its God awful sound. And those stupid rgb lights bleed blue no matter what.
>>11472542yes i have thin twink wrists, i love my deck but i have to be in a certain position to enjoy it as a handheld so i generally just end up using it in bed or docked more
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GN-MkmYROzEI honestly forgot about the Miyoo Flip, but its out in the wild now. I think Miyoo fucked up by attaching analog sticks though, because if this video is any indication, people barely use them.
I'm sick of the hh rat race, I bought pic related in current fucking year and I'm gonna go sit ina corner and play dragon quest 3 and mega man legends til I fucking die.
>>11474030They're for that one Ape Escape guy specifically.
>>11474035>RP2Syou literally don't need more
>>11474063You can’t even get it unless used and people overprice used retroids for some reason. You don’t need more than the x28
>>11474063I do, but there's nothing better.>>11474068Stop pushing that broken garbage.
>>11474072Still jealous over powshitty’s superior speakers? But seriously, with the 2s being dead, retroid might be done with that shell in general.

>>11474151This is why I hate messing with Linux OS's on lower end chinkhelds. Getting an Android one is peace of mind.
completely unrelated btw
>>11474068AliExpress has some floating around and only slightly more overpriced. I've never had a 2S but it's always been in the back of my mind as the "man's man" handheld. Maybe someday someone will release a solid 4 inch 4:3 but right now we don't have one of those that isn't a brick.

>>11474187Trimui shart out of NOWHERE
Get a room
>>11473948>The analog is both too close to the d pad and sticks out way to far so enjoy rubbing your thumb up on the stick when your using the primary buttons.Literally not an issue because the sticks are recessed enough to avoid this. We're not talking about the 406H, nimrod. Also this is the only comfort-related point you attempted to make in your argument against the 40XXH being comfortable, so well done.>You must already have hearing problems too if you think that device is worth shit with its God awful sound.I'm not listening to Mozart on this thing, the sound is clear and gets decently loud, plenty good enough for retro games.>And those stupid rgb lights bleed blue no matter what.They don't bleed anything if you turn them off, Poindexter. Hell, Knulli couldn't even use them until this month, I forgot it even had those.
>>11473556My problem with CRT shaders are that they make the screen too dark. I don't remember if the TV was like this, but it's noticeable and enjoyable for me.
>>11474063screen's too small
>so desperate for some aya neo evo impressions end up watching fucking t*ch dw**b>says the audio is the best he's ever heard on a handheld

>>11473797The point is you’re a retard.
>>11474656Nah I'm pretty fast.
>>11473629How does it looks like in the first stage of Mega Man X? Could you take a screenshot and post it here for reference?>>11474423To me, the koko-aio ones enhances the contrast and are brighter than if not equal to the default image.
Do you have any reviewers you actually trust? I'm having trouble figuring out which handheld to buy for what I want.
What are you thinking of playing?Consoles you are interested in emulating?Do you prefer Android or Linux?Are you interested in a vertical or a horizontal handheld?What are you looking to spend?Preferred screen size/resolution?Preferred handheld size?These are usual question you want to ask yourself, using something like retro catalog to narrow down some more. https://retrocatalog.com/ Once narrowed down, You can watch reviews no harm it gives you more of an idea of what you are looking at regarding people's opinion on build.
>>11474279Get a rope. Heck, get a whole tire swing.
>>11466972Can anyone confirm or deny if my arcade is a front company for shAT games?
Friendly reminder that the only good companies making handhelds are Anbernic and Retroid.Everyone else is FUCKING shit.
>>11474853Wrong, Brick is King right now and once it gets proper CFW support it'll be the best to purchase.
>>11474860brick has mediocre ergonomics.I think its the same issue as the miyoo minis where it feels bad to have your fingers spidering around a tiny vertical handheld.
>>11474853I don't think anybody makes anything good right now. Anbernic is shit and retroid thinks everything should have a glass faceplate.
>>11474853Retroid is overpriced shit. The high end retro device makes no sense when you could just get a steam deck instead.
>>11474847Anyone?
the rp mini is a really nice looking little guy. i could see myself picking this up when the price drops a bit.
>>11474886I highly recommend it. One of the most comfortable systems I've held and fits easily into the pocket
>>11474696Two pisscord chinkheld hoarders who often match my tastes. I've yet to see anyone truly honest on youtube, I suspect they actually send out thousands of freebies a month, viewcount and subscribers be damned.
>>11474886This thing got slandered and thrown to the wayside just because it's .3 inches less than what youtuberfags say is acceptable.
>>11474935And cost a few cents less than the RP5, has less 4:3 screen estate than the RP5 being just as tall, has less RAM, has a fucked up pixel layout that breaks shaders, and has self-scratching buttons. And despite all this I still have to deal with the fucking glass panel anyway.
is there another handheld out there that handles psp and ds (with a touchscreen) besides the trimm ui pro? im willing to push for 3ds emulation too but its not a must with what im looking for.
>>11474954RP4, RP5, odin lite, odin pro, odin 2
>>11466972so what would you guys say is the best Custom Firmware option for the TrimUI Smart Pro these days?
>>11474978Two options really now that Knulli isn't shit. CrossMixOS:Decent and good performance all around except in portmaster stuff where it struggles. Has standalone emulators to give a try if retroarch isn't enough. Supports Vulkan. Knulli: Generally the same performance in many things when using OpenGL as it doesnt seem to support vulkan or have standalone emulators for stuff. Though the PSP and N64 games I have played thusfar seem to perform the same between both. Portmaster is better on Knulli and pretty much has full support.
>>11474954The TSP doesn't play all PSP games at full speed. I tested Shiren 4 with both vulkan and openGL backends and it run at ~20fps
>>11467764Next update, got the prototype stick printed and it works great (ignore the ugly cap, this was just to make sure the dimensions were good). Downside however is that a 3D printer's just not really capable of making the caps how I want, and the details are too find to sand back into shape, so I'm gonna take a two-phase approach to making a mold. Got a lot of aftermarket Gamecube stick caps on ebay (10 sticks for 10 bucks, was surprised), gonna make silicon castings of the cap itself and then cast the silicon around a 3D printed stick. If this technique goes well I may actually make a few stick varieties to sell on etsy, I'm thinking maybe some Xbox Duke sticks and Dualsense 1-3 sticks but we'll see how it goes
I know there was a bunch of people on here giving younger family members modded handhelds for Christmas. So how did it go?I gave my 9yr old nephew an RG35XX H, i put lots of psp & dreamcast expecting him to play the more modern stuff, he spent most of the day playing N64 smash bros & F-Zero. Also loved PSX tony hawk pro skater 2 & gameboy tetris. He's gona make it. Proud of him.
>>11475028Wasn't for Christmas, but last year I got my 13 y/o nephew an RG35XX (pre-configured with garlic and IMO a good curated library of roms, I didn't think he'd wanna have to dig through thousands of mostly bad games) for his birthday and he seemed happy My sister (his mom) told me he really liked it and played it a bunch. Part of me kinda had the feeling it was just a polite "oh of course he loves your gift" thing, but when I went to visit that branch of the family last month I popped into his room to see how he was doin and he had it on his desk charging. He has a PS4 and a switch, so it's nice to see despite all that he also gets some enjoyment from older vidya
>>11475028I got my niece a Steam OLED. She just plays Fortnite through Xbox Cloud on it. Sometimes she plays Puyo Tetris 2.
>>11474954RetroidGARBAGE does so fine. That new e6 seems to handle psp just fine. If you want linux, you kinda have to wait, as while powkiddy prebought some 3588 units, it seems like they can't get anymore since that stupid drone drama.>>11474978Tweaked stock or knuli if you care about portmaster.>>11474989>That allwinner is so shit, it cant even run a fucking mystery dungeon fullspeed.Kekaroo!
I just need something that plays ps1/psp games but I'd like to get it fast. Is there any retrohandheld that doesn't take three weeks to ship?
>>11474989holy shit, thanks for the heads up i was thinking about buying one
>>11474882They need a good enough niche like being the only high end Arm clamshell for instance.
Thoughts on foldables being any good for using as a handheld? Mobile emulation has never crossed my mind before, but when you think about it, you've got access to a high res 120hz 4:3ish oled screen. Might be nice when paired with a controller mount or something, I dunno.
>>11475117these seem to be the only phones/tablets that are a reasonable size and aspect ratio, but they're expensive as hellmeanwhile you can get a phone that can emulate ps2 for peanuts, but the aspect ratio is ridiculous
>>11472737This was a powerfully autistic interaction on your end and I guarantee everyone in the store thought you were a socially retarded sperglord.>why not fuck with her a little and ask about chinkheld brands like Miyoo, Anbernic, Powkiddy, just saying every chink brand I knew in the momentYea man you really OWNED this Walmart peasant with your superior knowledge of Chinese handhelds.Take a shower and wash your clothes.
>>11475229Anon, it’s just an deck.
>>11472542NTA but nah it's pretty big. It doesn't feel bad at all to actually play, in fact it's super comfy, but IMO an ideal handheld is easily carried around. Sure you can get a backpack or carrying case, but you have to admit that's nowhere near as good as a "handheld" as something you can put in a jacket pocket.As a Switch defender I actually gotta say the worst thing the Switch did was warp the public's perception of what "handheld" means. Pretty much every successful handheld up to the 3DS/Vita weren't only pocket-sized, but would proudly talk about how portable and convenient it was, so much so that whenever an "improved" version came out it often came with a downsizing, or a clamshell, or anything that made it fit better in your pocket. Nowadays we're lmaking handhelds that are literally as wide across as an actual home console, and I refuse to accept that something as big as my PS2 is just as portable as the DS I could keep in my pocket as a middle schooler
>>11474847They’re get contracted by sega/Atari for their poor emulation boxes/handhelds. I think I remember hearing both companies are just fronts and just get chinks to make their stuff. Might just be the same chinks. I like how the atgames saga handhelds look.
>>11474947Wasn't a fan of the glass front myself but I can't say it ever actually bothered me once I had an RP5 in my hands.
>>11475261Valve should release a MiniPC with the same internals but with better cooling.
>>11475261This is why I prefer the 406V, let me tell you!
>>11468862How it went? all good?
>>11475306The general discoveries were that the hole for popping it onto the retroid needed adjustments (which was done and went well) and that 3D printing the caps themselves weren't gonna give a satisfactory amount of detail for me, so now I'm going with a dual 3D print and mold casting, with the stick base being print, but the actual cap being a casting taken from real sticks. See >>11475012 for deets
>>11475310Are you trying to print it in an FDM printer?You'd really want SLA for something like this.
>>11475312You're not wrong, but unfortunately I don't own a printer of my own and I'm relying on a public FDM 3D printer I can use at the local library, so I gotta work with what I got. Even if I had SLA though I think the molds cast from a real stick's the best option though, neither printer's gonna get as much detail as a decent casting
>>11475298This, people bitch that it's a vert and that it's too big, but the chunkiness makes it the most ergonomic vertical handheld, it's comfy even for long playing sessions, and it's small enough to chuck in a backpack where it won't take too much space, it's actually the best size for a handheld
Anbernic will release their Nintendo DS 2004 clone in Janurary
My Chinese masseuse's cousin works for Retroid.Their next handheld is going to be a new Flip.
>>11475316If you cast it in a mold, just realize your results will suck if you don't do it in a vacuum chamber to remove bubblesYou'll also find that print orientation matters, the print breaks along the print lines because that's the weakest area, so you inadvertently made the weakest area of the stick be the tube part that connects to the device.
gamboy
Do any shells exist to recreate the prototype GBA look?
>>11475405No. Nobody has ever made a white gameboy advance shell ever in history. Your dad isn’t ashamed of you.
>>11475406That isn't white
It's chrome you retarded nigger
>>11475407
https://x.com/mariods64/status/1296529368622280704
>>11475402I don't have a vacuum chamber but I DO have a pressure pot which can help with bubbles ($30 on a pot is cheaper than $200 on a printer and I already had an air compressor on hand), and since it's a small amount of silicon I can minimize bubbles even further by being slow with my mix and pouring in a hair-thin stream with something like a syringe or a fine funnel.As for the strength, it's not a real concern for me because tons of other people have vertically printed FDM sticks and it works just fine, including myself who's been using a pair for the past month, 406V anon who's been using theirs for idk how long, and the literally hundreds of people on etsy who've purchased them and given em five star reviewsOn top of that, most of the torque a stick would experience would be at the top, since the bottom is held in place by the rim, and the middle is re-enforced by the plastic rod going through it, and as you can see the plastic surrounding the tip of the insert slot's actually pretty thick.And on top of THAT, I'll be printing in ABS and using light acetone smoothing which both increases layer adhesion, AND helps to hide the layers and smooth out the print.
>>11475406>>11475413You're right, it's pink. ;)
>>11466972What would y'all suggest for someone primarily interested in dreamcast and Sega Model 2 emulation? The cheaper the better but $120 is probably the max budget wise.
>>11475518Model 2 only has decent emulation on PC, otherwise you're stuck with MAME and that's slow enough you'd probably need RP4P/5.
the flip is looking to be kino
>>11475528Um... Russ doesn't think sohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pKTNIAZyGM
>>11475525Damn, thanks in anycase anon.
>>11475421you're gay for acting like you didn't know what you were doing to farm interactions
>>11475554Where was I acting like I didn't know what I was doing? All I said was I don't have much in the way of physical resources, but using google and youtube's free.
>>11475587He means you posting about your shitty Etsy project is both irrelevant and unwanted here, retard.Full reddit tier for actually wanting GameCube styled sticks. At least do something productive like making the DSPhat's GOAT d-pad work with Anbernic handhelds.Also what you want to do is a 3D print as fine as you can, sand it to smooth any bits you don't want a grippy texture on, then create a master mold from that 3D printed part for mass production/injection molding, don't fucking 3D print each and every one like a retard.
>>11475608Damn I was just posting updates cause that one anon asked for em, I'll cut it out then
>>11475651Genuinely you should make an individual thread, but I'm not sure how much specific interest there would be on /vr/. Many people prefer original hardware, but there's tons of zoomies now overpopulating 4channel dot organization who adore frivolously buying things just to try them/have them because other people supposedly covet them.I don't know if /vr/ has that much of a modding interest but you can always make a thread and try. Just don't make the thread specifically about your joysticks, make it a generalized discussion about custom mods/personal changes to hardware.
Basically just dropping by every other month or so to see if a more powerful clamshell for PS2/GCN/Dreamcast was released.
How important is pocketability to you when it comes to retro handhelds? Personally I only play games when I'm at home or in my office so I can just bring what I want in a backpack and have no issues.
>>11475923I rarely carry a backpack, so if it doesn't fit in a pocket, it's not coming with me.
>>11475906Based gbafag. 351p was a great device. I still use mine alot.
>>11469216>We're in /vr/ faggot, "being excited for things we're nostalgic about" is literally the point.No, it isn't.The vast majority of retro games I play I never played when they were current. I am still filling in the gaps on experiences I missed as a kid and teenager.
>>11471078>GBA emulation on a non-3:2 screen is not even vaguely acceptable.very spoiled
Is it bad that I want a 280V
>>11476059Let me see Super Street Fighter II Turbo up close with shaders.
>>11474886This needs a S model. Non-pro 4 power level and without the glass..
>>11472606Hinge for the stand broke on mine a couple months in. I wish it was a little bit more snug otherwise it's a good case. I found I rarely use the face plate/protector. As for the weight I don't think it doubles it. Maybe a bit but not by a lot in my opinion.
Here is my N64 custom shader parameters for the Anbernic 960x720 screens.Shaders are>NTSC-adaptive.slang>CRT-Royale.slangUse the append shader option to use both at the same time, selecting NTSC-adaptive first.with these custom parameters>NTSC 3-phase>NSTC Color Saturation: 1.10>Diffusion Weight: 0>Mask Type: 0>Triad Size: 1>Border Size: 0Optional>Convergence X Offset Red: -5>Convergence X Offset Green: 5>Convergence X Offset Blue: -10>Convergence Y Offset Red: 10>Convergence Y Offset Green: -5>Convergence Y Offset Blue: 5
okay but who asked
>>11476150I did. I DMed him.
>>11476150Anon in a previous thread.
>>11476087I only have SF2
whats the best OS to install on the Powkiddy RGB30?
>>11476209It's almost been a year since I had my RG35xx+ and I just realized it has a rumble motor.Most emulators *don't* support it, and the ones that do don't do it well.I tested it with Pokemon Pinball on GBC and the one on GBA.The GBA one didn't seem accurrate with the mGBA core. The rumble would last too long and you couldn't adjust the strength.The GBC one is pretty good, but the rumble stops working if you go into sleep mode, and you have to reboot retroarch.
>>11476207>It's almost been a year since I had my RG35xx+ and I just realized it has a rumble motor.HOW did that take you a year?I had my rg35xx SD for less than 10 minutes before I noticed that.
>>11476209Sorry, didn't mean to reply, I was just opening quick relpy.>>11476213How would I know? It has to be turned on for most cores.
>>11476221>>11476221>>11476221>>11476221>>11476221MIGRATE
>>11476209Until Rocknix crowd figure out how to stop it from draining power while off, ArkOS.
>>11475261It would be acceptable if it could exchange its area for thickness, like a Bi-fold Clamshell™ form at 2".
>>11475401Pray to Mao.
>>11475410Nah, it's White and gold..
>>11475738Urine look!..
>>11475960>>11475923Hear me out, what if your device was wrapped around the forearm like a watch, but Steam deck sized?
>>11476639Todd...
>>11467059It's ok if you use a controller.
