The continuing mistadventures of my low-end CRT shader experiment from last thread >>11476312Seeing how well I can reign in the super aggressive bloom shader without crushing the colours, using parameter tweaks.
>>11487431>option 1: what any mentally sane person would go with>option 2: kinda neat looking>3 and 4: wtf are you thinkinggreat game btw. ps1 rpgs are the pinnacle of humanity
>>11487436I only have plain on there as a reference for colour accuracy, that ain't no way to play. 2 is a basic CRT look, but you can see by itself the colours are too desaturated, and is again a control for what the setup looks like without bloom. 3 is a demonstration of how aggressive that bloom shader can be, especially with large swaths of white and bright off-white colours, when left unchecked. Still, the bloom itself is an integral part of the CRT look, which is why I'm using 4 to try making things a little more reasonable without abandoning bloom entirely.
The unchecked aggressive bloom wasn't as bad on some Genesis games I demoed in the last thread, so I'll have to go back and check them at some point to see how the parameter tweaks affect them.
>>11487442plain looks the best by far. I just dont fucking get it. I will never, ever understand shader autism. if youre this obsessed just play on a crt. all this extra work just to make make everything a blurry mess, I dont get it.
>>11487451Don't be silly anon, I can't fit a CRT in my pocket.
>>11487348That's my pic, and I specifically said it's hot shit and not worth it.
>>11487472that screen looks so good in the pics though. kinda wish it only had 2 buttons
>>11487479>I wish it was less functional>The screen looks goodMore braindead takeaways for a handheld
>>11487484>BriandeadYou don’t need more than one button on a handheld.
>>11487372Anon, there are cheaper and better options than backbone now. (Post what you’re playing on your phone)
>>11487315Strongest sub $100 handheld?
>>11487541Max system?
>>11487472Whats wrong with it? Is the soap bar good?
>>11487546Dreamcast/PSP.
>>11487548You won’t get fullfullspeed for either under 100 for linux, but look at anything with a 3566. The rpb10max3 seems nice but barely talked about.
>>11487372Sorry, anon, it's just not the same.
>>11487348Or should I buy the Miyoo Mini Plus?
I'm hyped about the new Atari handheld, it has a knob, trackball, dpad... keypad and more shit like 2 usb-c ports for controllers. I think a stick like the one on the NeoGeo Pocket would be better but yea.Do you guys think it will run Jag games? I would like to play Tempest 2000 on it.
>>11487608No.
>>11487608Wait until it's out for a while and someone hacked it.
>>11487608>Do you guys think it will run Jag games?>generic diamond instead of unique arc layout.I don't think so, I bet the keypad would be for 7800 and 5200, I doubt it runs Jaguar.
>>11487608>Do you guys think it will run Jag games?Of course. BigPEmu is available for ARM64. That's assuming it's not an x86 device with AMD/Intel iGPU. >>11487615>>11487620Dumbass.
>>11487182The back of the box screenshots don't appear to have a crt filter lol
>>11487691
>>11487442I'd do option 2, but decrease the grid effect a little bit because CRTs didn't really have that in real life (Pictures of CRTs had that, but you didn't really see it with your eyeballs)
>>11487648>Of course. BigPEmu is available for ARM64. That's assuming it's not an x86 device with AMD/Intel iGPU.Groovy. I hope this Atari handheld runs Jag, I would like to play some Tempest 2000 on it. That knob and trackpad makes it unique. Most likely it is going to have an ARM processor, but who knows, it has an air vent.>>11487620>>generic diamond instead of unique arc layout.I mean, Jag has 3 action buttons: A B C; I don't mind if it is going to be mapped as X Y A or X B A. Since it has shoulder buttons (L1 L2 R2 R1) I wonder which games will include.I'm so hyped
Is it weird if I think these IPS mods look garish as fuck and completely destroy the feel of the original?
Is buying a new 3ds from Japan my only option as a europoor? I can't find shit on ebay that is in good condition and price without overspending. Anything I need to know about hacking a Japanese unit before I buy one?
>>11487731ah yes the nostalgia of playing with old screens that required you to have a child's unblemished eyesight to see
>>11487732>3DSUnless you want to play 3DS (no)games, just get a generic android handheld + NDS.
>>11487736I use my N3DS XL to play GB/C/A games. The GBA games are native, and the GB/C games get a cool 3D border, it's like the game screen is inset into a real Game Boy. You know, like how the real Game Boy screen was some distance behind the plastic window.
>>11487734Sorry for your shit eyes. I'm playing on an OG GBC right now, and I'm 38.
>>11487736I just think modding a new 3ds to play all the nintendo handheld and retro systems up to that point is neat. Yeah I'm sure an android handheld at the same price can do more but it isn't as cool as doing it on a new 3ds.
>>11487747Look into open agb firm if you do that. It's a modified GBA firmware for 3DS. You get a menu to select roms (so no need to inject and install each game), you can modify the brightness while you play, and you get a nice border.
>>11487731Why is the left screen actually smaller?
>>11487765Because the new screen is smaller?
>>11487348I won't, one vertislop is enough in life.
>>11487348What the fuck is that font? Absolutely disgusting.
>>11487472>Has a more powerful android vertislop>Yeah no wonder you think its shit you fucking retard.
>>11487608A fucking keypad? KEK I want one tho
>>11487731Can't believe that I used to play on that small screen.
>>11487472why is it shit? compared to miyoo mini?
new color for the RG34XX lol>https://anbernic.com/products/rg34xx?variant=45927680934145
>>11487972Is that L2/R2 positioning a good idea?
>>11487834>Second line greentext Kwab. And anon, power had nothing to do with his thoughts on the brick being shit. He’d be using a fucking phone if power was a concern in the first place. A good example was the x18s. Very first chinkheld to use the t618. Not overpriced after the first week hype tax, good screen and speakers, good customer support if bootloops. All that didn’t matter since the controls were sub v90 tier
>>11487731No you’re right, but it’s the hot thing to do and endorsed by influencers.
>>11487747>I just think modding a new 3ds to play all the nintendo handheld and retro systems up to that point is neat.Its worth getting one just for the sega classics series alone. The 3d versions of some of the best megadrive games are one of the best things about the console.
>>11487348That handheld will burn my palms where I live. Unless they managed to fix the thermal issues with the back.
>>11487731my parents were right, I would have gone blind if I used the gameboy in the dark like that.
>>11487731left: playableright: not playableor just get a trimui brick, the ultimate handheld
>>11487731they should've done some kind of color correction, thats the main issue. i emulate gbc and gba with accurate color correction on an XX device with obviously a backlit screen and it looks exactly like the one on the right except lit.
>>11488123That's what it looks like in sunlight>>11488138Skill issue
Are there any front lit GBC mods? So it would look like the first gen GBA SP or the phat DS? I assume the screen would stay the same but you'd install some LED strips along the edges?

>>11488214Stop watching these videos. Every chink device is the fucking same within the price brackets.
>ArkOS, RK3326, and crossed analogs.
>>1148823450 quid?!
I've never used AliExpress but how trustworthy is something like this? Amazon has it for 100 USD so how can they sale it for half?
>>11488297That’s the proper price I’m the first place. Amazon spikes up the price for getting it faster and better support. Famiclones st max are 5 dollars for the really good ones. Amazon prices the worst of the worse famiclones for 30
>>11488297It's legit, but it'll take 2 weeks to get to you and returns and refunds usually don't happen
How do you guys feel about bootleg carts?
>>11488363I've gotten a few that were romhacks and they were pretty good gifts
Anyone use an Odin 2 mini before?
>>11488359This but refunds are doable. You will never get them to send you a replacement. I got shipped a toothbrush instead of an r36s and they tried to say I was lying even though the tracking and package numbers were for a toothbrush. I got the refund but they will straight up lie to your face in order not to send you a replacement.
>>11488297I bought my TSP from that Hanhibr seller received package within the 2 weeks. They are that low because you can choose to receive it without their shitty SD card. Unless you want it they have options for them.
>>11488297local chinese sell to taobao markuptaobao sell to aliexpress markupaliexpress sell to amazon markupIt's all marked up compared to buying it in china.
>>11487348>looks really nice>cheap out on the speakers which are all tinny sounding bullshitno thanx
can you play native android games on these? i know there's an android port of DQVIII
>>11488541If it's an android based system, sure. These things are functionally just tablets with controls
>>11488369No but I don't think anyone should spend more than 200 dollars on an android system. The Odin 2 and the mini are powerful but it feels like a waste when you can spend a little more and get the deck which is better in every way.
This whole time I've been obsessed with 4:3 screens (like the Anbernic rg405m) because of ps2/gamecube, but since I bought the RP5 most of the ps2 games I boot up just boot into widescreen automatically after simply turning on the widescreen hacks setting. I thought I was going to have to individually download each hack or something, this is great!And also as everyone already knows, 4:3 borders are COMPLETELY invisible on the black RP5 anyway.
>>11488578is it going to be rooted off the box? like you'll just be able to start installing apks. also with no functional touch screen you'll possibly have issues getting through some parts of the game? i've never played a single native android game so i have no clue. i guess i'll find out when it's here, already ordered somethinganrd8
>>11487731I’m 32 and wear glasses, and I was playing DQ2 on my GBC recently and found myself surprised at how nice the screen looked. I’m not going to argue with people that they MUST sit in specific places or MUST move a lamp around their home to play with a child’s toy, but I personally think it’s worth it. I objectively think the original looks better, and I subjectively enjoy the nostalgic feeling of leaning on the couch arm to catch the table lamp.
>>11488369I can give you my genuine thoughtsIn terms of general build quality it is excellent, like if sony were to make another vita I could see it feeling like this.The biggest issue and dealbreaker is the screen. On any other anbernic or cheap device you get an IPS screen and it 'just works'. The miniled on this thing has all sorts of drawbacks like the vignetting, and not mentioned in your usual youtube reviews is that the screen uniformity is pretty bad. The backlight cannot light the screen up evenly so you get 'dirty screen effect' on the panel. This doesn't happen to such a severe degree on IPS handhelds and basically will never happen on an oled panel
>>11488605I dont think I've seen an android device that doesn't let you install raw apks
>>11488628Same. There's just something magical about the reflective screen. It's like you're peering into another world through a window or some shit.
>>11488297for amazon you're paying the ability to have no-questions-asked returns. I think its worth it, I would have saved a decent amount of money if I was able to try the retroid pocket 2+ before comitting.
>>11488469It must be nice to be the one who can buy these in bulk for like $30 a piece
After buying a steamdeck I'm going to sell some of my others. It's my preferred way to play 3D ps1 games that support widescreen hacks, n64, ps2, psp, saturn, Dreamcast, GameCube, and gba. GBA 3X Scales with only the tiniest bars on the side. The dot shader makes games look great. >rp3+totally pointless now. I always prefer my steamdeck.>miyooI have a mini v2 and a mini plus. Can't make up my mind which one I want to keep but I only need one. Wish I had gotten that metal one, the pixel whatever. I'm keeping it for the ultra pocketability. I might get rid of it if the flip ends up being a homerun.>anbernic arcI love this. Keeping it for 6 button games, sega genesis, and 4:3 games that don't support widescreen hacks (most ps1 games, neogeo, 4:3 arcade games).I'm still waiting on a good 1:1 system for Gameboy color. Everything else feels like a compromise. Id like to see a Gameboy color style device with 1:1. The powkiddy device that comes close is too cramped on the bottom.
>>11487754this is fucking retarded
>>11488786Buy a trimui brick
>>11487754this is too small anon
>>11487982Yeah it's fine. You're only going to use for fast forward, slomo, save state, load state
>>11488580The Odin 2 is a reasonable option because the steam deck is bigger. I like that the odin 2 is about the size of the switch lite, yet can pretty much play the entire gamecube and ps2 collections at 3x resolution I'm not really trying to play PC games on a handheld, I need keyboard and mouse to play my favorites anyways
>>11488585There is a collection of over 1 hundred gamecube widescreen hack cheats you just drop in a folder for the dolphin emulator. Just google it and you'll find a youtube video about it
no. im playing in 4:3. get over it.
4:3 makes the most sense since more consoles play it perfectly.
...
>>11488363I don't understand them. Unless there's just that one, single game you want to play on your official device but you can't afford it, it would make way more sense to me to just buy a flashcart or to emulate. Even in that scenario, I still wouldn't personally buy one.
>>11488824I thought dolphin already incorporated them by default?
>>11488919>>11488829the people in this thread use different devices for different systems, newfag
>>11488962What's 16:9 for?
Buy me a TrimUI Brick please
>>11488923god that device is maybe the most hideous thing anbernic has done so far
>>11487362What device/shader is this? The screen looks breddy gud
>>11489014Address?

>>11488964GBA, psp, widescreen hacks for ps2 (90% of games), GameCube (90% of games), Dreamcast (50% of games), n64 (90% of games), and ps1 (25% of games).

>>11489324I think fzero X and/or GX had a widescreen mode
How do SNES and NES games look on low end chinkhelds that can do integer scaling and fill up most of the screen?The aspect ratio weirdness of those systems always annoys me. I want to play 4:3 but then you get weird uneven pixels that you have to hide with shaders and filters
Convince me to NOT get a RP5...
>>11489505It's not as powerful as you think it is, sure the screen is superb but you will want more power on it
>>11489501Use a sharp-bilinear shader. It fixes those uneven pixels and looks really nice on a small screen if it's 480p or higher.
>>11489505Just wait for the Atari GameStation Go.
>>11489506It tops off at GCN/PS2, right?
>>11489506You don't need anymore power on it than it already has unless you're greedy and want Switch too.
>>11489501Why don't you wanna use filters?Raw pixels are hideous.
>>11489523fidelity
>>11489505I bought one because I couldnt find anyone to convince not to get one
>>11489523I didnt say I didnt want to use filters but im sure you just wanted to start some gay argument lol
>>11488807How can it be too small when on a 3DS XL it's exactly the same physical size as an original GBA screen, since the screens have the same PPI? Can you explain? Or did you just mouth off without knowing shit?
>>11489505>>11489557>that aspect ratioI already have an old Galaxy S20 FE permanently attached to a telescoping Gamesir controller, that thing is both more powerful and has a better screen.>lmao enjoy your notifications!It's an old phone dedicated for gaming, there are no notifications or calls.
>>11489501>>11489509not sharp-bilinear, use sharp-shimmerless. it's the sharpest of all the sharps and as the name entails, you don't get the ugly shimmering effect when there's a lot of movement on the screen. pairs great with a gridline or crt overlay
>>11489582calm down fatty lol. the giant borders and bezel make it look bad. just use a GBA or chink device
I'm retard, I can't make stardew work on the RGXXSP. I followed the the step by step guide and maybe I'm too much of a brainlet to comprehend.
>>11489608Step 1: follow the documentation as writtenStep 2: join their pisscord to troubleshootStep 3: find out there's critical information missing from the documentation
>>11489062It is an RG35xx with a protective case (even with the case I managed to damage the screen).
>>11489594The illusion works in real life, it feels like you're looking at a real GBA screen, the border and the bezel disappear into your peripheral vision. I have an OG GBA too, so I can compare them side by side. And my BMI is only 29.
>>11489658This is what the screen looks like.
>Retroid Pocket 5 stll hasn't shipped. Though I suppose I did order around Friday Evening.Im surprised those chinks take Sat/Sun off.
>>11489506It does pretty much all of PS2/GC/Wii. Quite a bit of WiiU and Some switch games. If you want more power than that in a handheld you may aswell go Steam Deck till you can get a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 or 3 for the same price as a RP5 which is years away at best. Been playing Windwaker HD on it and it runs a treat.
>>11489668
>>11489684You know what is funny? You can still play Game Boy games; just add a video shader.
>>11489501I found the perfect setup on my RG35XX Plus. Shader:Select Zfast-composite-crt > Shader parameters, turn off scanlines.Overlay:Get the "perfect" overlays and install them. Then select the Perfect CRT 240p as the overlay and put the opacity to 1.00.Enjoy. If you think it's too blurry then just use normal Zfast being sure to turn off shader scanlines.
>>11489691I use this for all my CRT games, PS1, Mega Drive, SNES, NES etc.
>>11489673mine hasnt shipped either and I ordered on friday too
Am I the only one who hates Russ' stupid fucking voice? His videos are unwatchable because I get irrationally angry listening to him stress the Ts at the end of words and shit. Talk like an Ameican, dude. He should knock off the snack and drink shit too, it's queer as fuck. Hope you're reading this!
I laugh at millenioomers and their shitty toys
>>11489729He sounded normal when he first started and gradually grew into that typical annoying Youtuber voice over time.
>>11489729It's the reddit voice he does for videos. You see him on other stuff like RH collabs and whatever and he just talks normally on a lower pitch.
>>11489729>>11489735>>11489737I'm British (English) and I have no fucking idea what you're talking about. He just sounds American.
>>11489330nah, they're better in widescreen
I'm thinking of getting this thing.The GBA SP was one of my favorite handhelds of my childhood. Which was kind of weird considering it was an old system by the time I got mine. I just always had a fascination with older games, and usually enjoyed them more.This looks like everything I'd ever need in a pocket emulator. I love the clamshell design, I love the button layout. Apparently it can play DS, 64, and Linux native games somehow. Maybe that'd be cool to use, but I'd mostly use this for GBA and SNES games.
>>11489783>Im thinking of getting this thing>Heres some nonsense about why you should buy itThe shills aren't sending their best.
>>11489789what are you talking about?All I said is how much I love the form factor and old games, and I mentioned that I've heard that it can play games that by all means shouldn't work with the control scheme.I was expecting a reply with "Fuck yeah, it just werks" or "Nah, playing DS and 64 games on this is finnickey as hell"I don't have the device. That's why I'm asking about it here, to get an opinion from someone who isn't a faggot behind a camera who got the thing for free, plays the thing for three minutes for footage, puts out a review, then chucks it in a drawer forever.
>>11489409>PS2What
>>11489793Where was the question?There wasn't one in your post it just sounded like a lot of positives of the device.
>>11489795Fair enough. I guess I expected too much when I thought you would understand the complex gambit of posting an open ended thought on a discussion thread to encourage people to share their thoughts.Does anyone have anything substantial to say about the general and special use of the RG35XXSP for a prolonged time period?I'm thinking of getting this thing.
>>11489783What else is there to say? It's great anon go get one and enjoy your games.
>>11489794https://www.reddit.com/r/SBCGaming/comments/18lgjj0/dont_underestimate_the_power_of_rk3566_ps2gc_on/It's powerful enough for a bit of PS2/GC but it isn;t going to be the best experience.

>>11488580I wish people would stop recommending the Steam Deck as if something 4x the size is at all comparable.
>>11488605Android handhelds without touch screens are super rare, so that won't be an issue. As for installing APKs, as I said, it's just like an android tablet. I don't mean like, "it's a very similar experience", I mean there is no functional difference between an android handheld and a tablet beyond the added gaming-focused features. If a tablet can do it, an android handheld can
>>11489789This thread's so fucking bitterpilled that they can't comprehend anyone talking positively about a system without thinking someone's trying to trick them jesus christ
>>11490002Why are you talking positively about something you don't own?
>>11489991Do you have muscular atrophy or something
>>11489783The buttons are too stiff and clicky. They are worse than the original GBA SP's buttons and d-pad. Also the batteries on these expand because Ambernig positioned them right behind the CPU!!!! But enjoy your house fire I guess.
>>11490008NTA but people interested in handhelds are often also interested in portability, and I feel like someone who wants to portably play retro games doesn't want their handheld to be bigger and heavier than the original home systems, and wanna be able to leave the house with it without needing to carry around a backpack or shoulderbag just so they can play a bit of Chrono Trigger on the bus
>>11490017V90DEITYS stay winning
>>11490025Indeed my fellow PowKunny enthusiast
>>11489729Agreed, the dude speaks like the faggy type of autistic, the kind that had too many accommodations
>>11489741There are more than a few lispy faggy brits I could link you and insult you by saying they sound like all british people.
>>11489892Yeah, it's true, telescopic controllers aren't handhelds, they're controllers, they should go in their own thread, ideally in /g/ instead of hereWhen can we range ban India, Africa, and South America? Please admins, ban them all
>>11490008That's not how it works. You could hold your arms above your head with nothing in your hand and you'll still get tired eventually.

>>11489505It only does up to PlayStation 2 and will take like a month to get to you.
currently building up boxarts for every 1g1r cartridge-based Nintendo and Sega game, except Virtual Boy. shits getting autistic.
>>11488923How big is it ?
>>114904538.5 inchesnot sure about the device tho
>>11490321>It only does up to PlayStation 2>/vr/
>>11490063A phone is literally a handheld. Dont get mad just cause some of us can emulate everything already without investing in cheaply made chinkware. Taken from my s23 ultra :)
>>11490465(That's the joke, I just bought one myself and am going stir crazy refreshing tracking constantly hoping for any updates.)
Slightly beyond /vr/'s scope, but I did some battery checks.>AGS-003: Fine, took hours for the console to die after leaving it on the GAME BOY screen with the front light on>USG-003: Seems to be fine, the hinge is incredibly loose for whatever reason>TWL-003: Looks fine>CTR-003: Starting to swell>SPR-003: Starting to swell>WUP-012: Starting to swell, GamePad unable to hold a chargeI want to replace the swollen batteries with OEM replacements, particularly the WUP-012 with the high-capacity 2550 mAh WUP-013 battery.Was also pleasantly surprised to find that the top screen for my N3DSXL is IPS, though the bottom screen is TN. Beyond this, I'd like to do some deep cleanings.
>>11490482Ah fair. In my defense, a good chunk of thread's so nitpicky that I could absolutely see someone saying that unironically. I'll say I just got mine a few days ago and it's been pretty great, the OLED alone makes it worth it
>>11490520I was looking for a new PSP battery and my search ended when I saw something claiming 4300 mAh capacity with a clear warning on the store page (aliexpress) not to try and disassemble it or even try to measure its real capacity. Said fuck this shit, bought pic related for like $2 and got real 1200 mAh as stated. Had to replace the power control board with the one from the dead PSP battery though, but in the end got 4 hours of gameplay on full brightness with max overclock.
>>11489505Gay, don't buy it, just get a SteamDeck
>>11489673>>11489719>tfw ordered Thursday nightThis should be ILLEGAL ship it NOWAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>11490547When my PSP-3000 battery started expanding, I disassembled it and kept the PCB and plastic shells while disposing of the actually battery. It's sitting in the back of my PSP now, but I need to actually order a new battery if I ever want to play it again. I have a replacement battery from 10 years ago that I never used, and it's swelling too.
>>11489719>>11489673>>11490692>Ordered Boxing Day>Didn't get picked up until Sunday>Has apparently been on a plane for 25 hoursDid you guys go DHL or cheap out?
>>11490738I did cheap out, yes. I was just funposting. I didn't have any issue with shipping speed when I got my 2S last year.
>>11490473Why aren't you playing with a widescreen hack?
>>11490683NTA, but if I was considering getting a pseudo-vita, it would be for the ability to fit in my pocket.The Deck is great and all, but that thing is a far cry from the DS days of portable consoles.
>>11489798There's some concern over the sharp buttons piercing the membranes and damaging the dome switches, I've put adhesive felt over the domes for mine but am considering lightly sanding the buttons to be extra safe. Battery is fine if you don't use a fast charger like a retard.muOS is great, easy to assign cores and everything is just a front end for retroarch anyway.Power is meh, I use it for psx and below. I expect N64 and Dreamcast are hit-or-miss.Feels good in the hand, screen is nice, but buttons definitely need tape or felt to quiet them. Easy to mod that though.Interested in seeing how the miyoo flip goes, will jump ship if the buttons are better.
>>11490845It's going for $62 right now on the website ($52 if you don't mind shipping from china. No thanks)so I might just take the leap and see how it feels. Usually I like to wait a week or two for the initial hype to die down so I know that I'll actually want a purchase like this, but the price is so low that I might as well just go for it.Really hoping that some GBA core developer figures out how to do proper link cable emulation. RIght now it can only emulate the wireless adapter, which only works for pokemon Emerald, Fire Red and Leaf Green.from what I've seen DS games are about as good as you can get with one screen. either cram both screens together where they're the size of a postage stamp, or keep the top screen on until you hit a button to swap to the bottom screen. Might be a bit annoying to play Pokemon, and obviously impossible for something like Mario Party or Phantom Hourglass.but yeah, it looks like a nifty little gizmo.
Fellas I tried to order a Z1 Extreme Ally but the order got secretly canceled yesterday. What's a good alternative for the price? Should I Go with the Legion Go? Steam doesn't sell the deck directly here and the OLED is like an extra 100 bucks or so. And I don't know if the current Claw is usable after the updates
>>11490926Zontac Zone (2?) and Ayaneo 3 are the most interesting to me right now thanks to the ability to have disc-ish dpad on top for both, 6 face buttons for the Aya.
>>11490473>Everything>Exagear/winlator still shitBruh>CheapPhoneGOD, telescopic controllers are cheap chink shit too. They use the exact same tactic when they sell them outside of china.
>>11490021>>11490008>>11489991The solution is obvious..
How bad is the RG35XXSP's battery swelling issue? Can I just replace it with a better battery?
>>11489225Okay, revised version. One stick, trackball replaces right analog.
>>11490926Just buy a refurb Ally on ebay. It's got 2 year warranty. A 780M laptop also isn't much pricier.
>>11491207Redditors overblew the problem like they blow everything
>>11491207While there is an issue with charging, specifically a small percentage of chargers using e-marked C to C cables get confused by the SP being out of spec, that also affects all the other cheap anbernic chinkhelds - which also have the chip next to the battery - and they aren't bloating in mass. Just use a dumb 5v brick with A to C cable, don't let it charge overnight or unwatched and you'll be fine.https://www.reddit.com/r/ANBERNIC/comments/1f1iun2/an_explanation_of_the_usb_c_charging_issues_on/

>>11490738I went DHL.I hear horror stories of people waiting way too long for 4PX.
Yep I'm thinking the Flip will be kino
Okay, definitely starting to warm up to the Brick. I still prefer the 35XX Plus because of muOS and the size, but we'll see...Definitely WAY better than the miyoo.
>>11491482minUI on it is pretty good. the d-pad is kind of an acquired taste I think. Its like if the snes and vita d-pads had a baby
>>11487608How much? When?
>>11491242>Overseas chinkheld coomlectors[Bruh, the negatives are overblown]>Chink chinkheld coomlectors[The fuck is this shit max!? Lmao! This nigga selling americans 35 dollar bombs for 60!

I like the big fsce buttons
Carrying a phone and a handheld is better than carrying a phone and a gamepad, since using the handheld drains it's own battery and leaves the phone alone, while a gamepad uses it's own battery and drains the phone's battery too.
>>11491516Good point, but at the end of the day, powkiddy has no idea what they're doing.
>>11491482
>>11489730>>11489868I will not use a phone or anything without a backlight
Nintendo/Sony/Whoever comes to you and asks you to design them a new console.What features are you putting on it?
>>11491516Yes, that's why it's better to carry an iPod Touch or a Sony Walkman (Hi-Res) instead of listening to music on your phone, or to carry a digital camera rather than recording video on your smartphone. It’s even the main reason why you might want to carry a feature phone instead! For example, it has better battery life, and you can emulate, take photos, record videos, and listen to music on other devices that are better suited for those tasks.I agree with you, using a smartphone is cringe. How dare you take advantage of all its features? Let's go back to the '90s and have a device for each task!Let the phone-bros have fun with their gamepads, they must have a reason for emulating that way.
please buy a trimui brick. we printed too many of them
>>11491738>Shartui Ick
>>11491738I will get miyoo mini plus instead.
>>11491516just played 2 hours of gamecube on my phone and it only drained 17% battery. non issue. especially because I have no life, un serious job and detest non 4chan social media so my phone basically just exists as my emulation station. having a superior all in one solution seems a lot better than coomlecting the FOTM chinkheld for various "use cases".if there was a chinkheld legitimately better suited for the task Id consider it but there really isnt. beautiful af oled screen (bigger display than any chinkheld), 500 gigs of storage so I can coomlect as much roms as I want, comfy responsive controller, bluetooth connectivity for speaker/headphones, emulator support for every console Id possibly care about (except og xbox), actually fits in my pocket with the controller in my other pocket, its just perfect. Its replaced my PC as my main gaming station cause I love the handheld factor. If I could go back in time and tell my childhood self what the future ultimate handheld would be like, itd be this and itd totally fucking blow my mind. fact it anons, we are the true master race of /hhg/ and we're here to stay.
>>11491775>Moblieshit>True master race>That handLMAOOOOOO
>>11491775You were always the masterace, but the future of android chinkhelds seems bright. The future of an actual high end linux chinkheld seems grim
>>11491812The future is in the RP5, which is both.
>>11491808this is the best argument a chinkheld coomlector can muster up, lmao. "its shit" and "random pic you posted has a brown hand". I kneel anon, going to throw away my phone and buy 6 different shitty gameboy clones now.
>>11491815There is NOTHING wrong with the gameboy form factor as long as the shoulder buttons aren’t miyoo style.
>>11491828I really like the shelf style shoulder buttons that are on the Brick, they look nice and remind me of the GOAT RG300. Makes me want to pick one up even though I don't even need it.
>>11491830Anbernic doing it right the first three times, and then purposefully doing it wrong just to chase trends is super gay
>>11491838Yeah it's annoying that it took us so long to get back to where we were. I hope slope style shoulder buttons die a painful death forever.
Retroid shills if you see this can you tell your masters to ship my Retroid Pocket 5.I ordered it on Friday.
>>11491879took like a month for mine to ship
knulli or minui for brick?
>>11491891Knulli only has alphas for the brick right now.
>>11491879It just shipped.DHL. Should be here on Thursday.
Where do you guys play your handhelds? Would you bring your TrimUI Brick on a first date? Maybe to the mall or to the lake?
>>11491879I just got my email that it shipped and I ordered it on friday as well
Im not a phonefag but those new slide out conches look sick. But im on a non samsung/goog pixel android phone so fat chance if it ever being compatible with mine
>mfw tried to find out more about the Chromatic on a certain alien mascot forum>Every single post about it is downvoted to shit because Palmer is le hecking Trump chudThat wasn't very successful. Does anybody here own a Chromatic? Why choose it over the Analog Pocket?
>>11491973>Where do you guys play your handhelds?
>>11492054What do you mean? Such controllers have been around for at least 5 years. They are also universal, you don't need a popular phone.
>>11492079Nope.
>>11492072For like $20 more/the same price you can just get the pocket which lets you play roms off a microSDAlso has savestates so any cart youre not planning on replacing the battery on becomes actually playable againAlso plays more than just GB
>>11492072I doI chose it because of the 1:1 screen and way better shell designThe pocket us just poorly made for everything except the internals
>>11492094Chromatic beats it in build quality and screen for sure but the functionality tradeoff is highway robbery
>>11492108Not really, If I wanted more systems I'd just get a chinese emulation machine
>>11492110And loading roms? A flash cart is 50 minimum for the basic ones.
I want to upgrade from LCD to a oled deck, can I swap the internal memory so I can keep my OS and everything installed on it as is and if so where do I find out how to do this because I Google "swap internal deck memory" and all I get are retards explaining to other retards the use of the regular SD card slot in the bottom, not whatever the OS is stored on
>>11492114I mean, if all your complaints are about the cost then it's not for you, though it is a valid complaint
>>11492119Your googlefu is fucking terrible, man.https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=steam+deck+transfer+ssd+to+oled
>>11492134But will the oled ssd work in the LCD?Would i need to do a factory reset or anything
what's the general consensus on the rg40xxh?I got a miyoo mini V2 some years ago but its minuscule screen and crampfest size just isn't for me.
>>11492149I love mine, I run Knulli and honestly use it more than my RP4 Pro for lower-end systems. Between the controls, screen size, aspect ratio, and pocketability, it's pretty much perfect for the old stuff.
>>11492149great asides from the minor heating issue (which is neglible imo)
I kind of figured that once you’ve bought one emulation handheld that you’d be set for a few years? I don’t understand why this needs a constantly running general.
>>11492191I dont understand why you wouldnt want to talk about them all day
>>11489225Hell naw that's some ngage shit.>>11491213No need for an analog stick. What if the numpad could be used as a touchpad?
>>11491815I think they were laughing at how fat the hand was
>>11492191Some people are new to retro handhelds and need advice or recommendations, some people are at the end of those few years with their existing device and are looking to upgrade, some people have one type of system and are looking for a companion for different circumstances (for instance they have a Steam Deck, but want something pocket friendly as well), there are software updates for official and aftermarket OSes and emulators, new developments happen in the market that can be of use or interest to people, and some folks just enjoy the hobby and like talking about it.
>>11492084Nope what? Are you stupid? I bought my first telescoping controller in 2020. Fucking retard.
>>11492123>>11492114Do both the Pocket and the Chromatic support any flash cart that works on a real GBC? Is there a flashcart that supports both GB and GBC ROMs? If yes, what would you recommend?
>>11491775>>11491815Ignore the seething retards. A phone with a good controller is fine.
>>11492140I would imagine that the system images are different. You would be able to copy your games but not wholesale use the same SSD. Unless you first wipe that SSD and install the correct system image on it. There are a million tutorials for that.
>>11492212At the moment the Chromatic has a few compatibility issues but I'm sure that'll work itself outhowever I don't think you can buy them anymore because they sold out
Is there a vertislop that gives me 90% of the analogue pocket for a fraction of the price?
>Is there a handheld that can do GB/GBC/GBA Geee anon, we this stupid?
>>11492231trimui brick
>>11491482TrimUI Shart Pro is getting muOS so theres a chance Brick will get a variant shortly after
If 11492246 wasn't a dumb fucking animal he might realize that not every vertical handheld is made the same, some have better ergonomics and screens, or a better price performance ratio.
>>11492307Well, if Pocket's your target you have zero regards for ergonomics. It's the RGB20SX until better screens trickle down to budget devices.

Why do these threads have no love for the RG34XX? Is there something wrong with it?
>>114924653:2 sucks.
>>11492468I assume one would play GBA games on it first and foremost with GB and GBC on the side.
>>11492465They botched the bezel, d-pad is bad.
>>11492475Lots of systems can already play GBA games. And the SP is a superior design due to utilitarianism.
>>11492480How much worse is the dpad than on a real OG GBA?
>>11492465I don't know about the others but I've been loving mine. Very nice with custom firmware and the screen refresh issue is fixed by a patch. It's great having the GBA ergonomics with emulator functions like resuming where you left off and the larger screen is welcome for fast paced games like Sonic
>>11492490Is the hardware good enough to support runahead?
>>11492493None of the H700 handhelds can do runahead on anything except maybe GB or GBC.
>>11492465certified un-shoryukenable
If Russ says it's shit it's shit, if he doesn't review it don't bother. Follow in the word of Russ from Retro Game Corp.
>>11492487Not much worse than the original. What caught my attention, however, was that youtube shills took issue with it and they give literally any d-pad a pass.
>>11492208nope. not what im talking about. happy monday to you too though
>>11492123>its a good product if you dont care about your moneyNot good enough for me sorry
I dont like the placement of the cart and shoulders on the pocket desu. I think people call the portruding shoulders on other devices "shelf buttons" Or something? Those are way better than whatever the hell this is.
>>11492564You used one yet? It feels much better than I thought it would.
>>11491293They're not talking about the "widescreen hack" setting on dolphin anon, they're talking about sourcing a widescreen hack from somewhere else. The widescreen hack setting is more meant to be a last resort than anything else, and usually isn't recommended.Here's something I find handy, someone compiled all the widescreen hacks and made it into a single drag and drop file that, when applied right, will just auto-apply to any game you load up.
Yeah, I read the entire article even that part and still posted. My bad.
>>11492564It's a poorly made designI wish it was better>>11492556It's a good GBC

>>11492654I'm happy with my FPGBC.
>>11492660Haven't encountered that so far. If I ever did, I'd just use VC injection on my 3DS XL.
>>11492663you don't need to play more than GBC since you already own other chinkhelds

Why do you guys keep crying over the use of an analog stick for the dpad All the chinkhelds do it for a reason: it's perfectly fine, in fact a mediocre stick is preferable to a shitty dpad
>>11493126retro gamers who are the target demographic for these handhelds prefer to use dpads for playing retro games that were designed with dpads in mind.
>>11493126What does the image you posted have to do with retro games?
What's this stupid obsession with FPGA Game Boy systems? Just get a fucking DMG a GBC and a $100 flash cart. You can get a front light mod if you want to keep it somewhat authentic or one of those IPS or OLED mods if you want backlit inaccurate slop. This is both way better and cheaper than those $250 meme machines.
>>11493126Input the Konami code using an analog stick. You can't? Shove it up your mouth then.

I recently got a RP5 and I'm planning on putting Rocknix in an SD to play PICO-8 games.I assume if I use it I won't completely delete Android?
>>11493250Android is installed on the internal storage, so no.
>>11493253So it's like two separated OS?One Android in the internal storage and the other one in the microSD?That's how I have understanded after some research.
>>11492936 Sure that $27 he made from 100 sales will allow him to retire.
>Our best estimate on the Steam Deck 2 release date is 2025 or later, as Valve designer Lawrence Yang recently said in an interview with Bloomberg that “a ‘next-generation’ power upgrade but won’t be available for at least two or three years.” This was said at the time of the Stem Deck OLED launch in November 2023. soo basically at least 2026 or 2027?i want to upgrade to the OLED but i do not want to get cucked by a deck 2 releasing within a year or so
>>11493259Yes. You hold volume up when the device is booting to go into the menu that boots Rocknix. Then you restart it and it auto boots back to Android. Retroid said they will make the dualbooting more seemlessly but I wouldn't hold my breath on it happening for a while.
>>11493294Isn't that how dualbooting usually works in Android devices?
>>11493302I'm not sure, dualbooting isn't too common on Android handhelds in the first place.
How is gaming anon ?

>>11493376i have an LCD deck and it looks that bright when its in a pitch black room even with the brightness pretty far downand in darker games it seems like i have to raise it relatively to compensate for all the light coming from the blacks and to be able to see it properly. so the blacks literally look like thatin a game like noita for example, thats what black looks like in a pitch black room with the brightness high enough to be able to discern the difference between the black and the colorsbut in a room with light its completely different, black doesnt look that bad and it doesnt seem like you have to put the light level so high relative to the rooms light

>>11492936oof people just wasted $500+
>>11493406bu dum tss
>>11493348It is a lot to pay for, yeah. At the same time the plastic used on the cheaper models is the least of the Pocket DMG's concerns, it's not a "night and day difference" like you'd get with a different form factor. You're still paying a ton of money for a vertical device with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 G3x, it just doesn't make sense to purchase next to their Pocket Evo at all. >>11493406He's probably referring to GB carts using batteries. But that should still an easy solder solution and they sell replacement batteries.
>>11493435last time i tried soldering something i fucked up a gba board
what's the cheapest one of these that can do ps vita emulation? or should i just get a phone and a controller?
>>11493526Vita3k is ass, just get a Vita.
>>11493526Vita emu's ass right now, no point in getting a device if that's the main goal. You're probably better off buying a vita and modding it to install whatever games you like onto it
>>11491775How does it cool down when playing PS2 for more than 2 hours in India?
>>11493526Unironically a ps vita
>>11491812The future is x86/ARM hybrid chips with optical processors running cool in a super efficient, 9-inch, Bi-fold Clamshell™ form factor. A new type of borophene battery gives you 30 hrs of battery per charge- with extremely fast charging. Everyone has a 'Desktop in your pocket' in 4 years time. The Steam Fusion base model with 16 RAM retails at $600.t. Todd Howard
>>11493587Unironically...maybe? The reason the steamdeck was so attractive to me is that it was also a pc and i was already a linux user so it just works. Peripherals were always peripheral and thus you just need a back pack to put em in. Lugging a big tower around though? Not that's for like a lab or something. Now, its just a steamdeck case. Got plenty of room left over in the backpack....its wild. It's the reason i was looking at the ryzen 64gb model of the xoneplayer but.... I think I might be able to find a comparable tablet pc form factor soon. The space saved is awesome. As for phones? God, I hope we get over all of this proprietary boxed garden bullshit soon as a speciesBack on topic: playing dynasty warriors 5 empires on steam deck. Antiglare lcd 512 model with antiglare screenprotector and case my sis got me. I love this thing so much.
>>11493587>future is x86/ARM hybridHow does that work?
Trying out my new GBC overlay I made...
>>11491207I have a XX SP since launch and not a single issue with mine. I even charge it using a 100w charger not even with the cable included and I had no problem at all. It should be fine as long you are using a usb C to A cable. I still believe >redditfags fucked up their units by using usb c to c cables and then hiding the fact to save face
>>11492205I think their design is less usable for the chips potential power. Atari should revise it.
>>11493632Ngl, thats pretty sweet.
>>11493632Looks a bit yellow
>>11493645Wouldn't a c to c still be fine if it's a regular 5w or whatever charger
Anyone have the 'imUI 'ick? I dont really like how NES games look on it, do you guys use any particular setting? The rest of the consoles Ive tried look pretty great with that screen though
>>11493608>that scalingwhy
>>11493632based, im working on the same. once you've got the basic gridlines, whats your method of making them look like that and getting them to fit a non-integer scaled canvas?
>see that the miyoo flip is finally out>$70lol
>>114936452025 and anbernic can't figure out usb-c ports
>>11493851>almost $20 more than the 'nig SPIt's over
>>11493730I settled on pixel perfect, ratio scaling, no scanlines. You can only access the ratio settings through loading the core in RA. MinUI needs a major update.

>>11490547>4 hours of gameplayoh wow, that's not bad. i remember when i tested my 2500mah in place of dead umd drive, that lasted 5 and a half hours on full brightness full overclockso that means it's viable to just do smaller batteries and leave umd drive alone
>>11493357That's artificially exaggerated by the camera, this is more realistic of LCD Deck: >>11493608In bright games it doesn't really matter. But if you're getting a new Deck now I'd strongly recommend the OLED.Gayben cucked me and released the OLED just after I bought the LCD. But I won't upgrade until there's a Deck 2.
>Flop out of stock, only scalpers reselling for twice the price>Paying beta testers (aka redditors) already found issues with light bleed and analog input>Already burned out on the nigSP after returning mine for its own light bleed and broken USBC port issuesI should get a v90.
>>11494017Wait 2 months for rocknix to be fully stable on the flop. It'll go way the fuck down by then. Still be shit>V90Powkiddy's making a successor. It'll probably be 3326 with a 3:2 screen
>>11494017I find bleed on the SP to be really rare, did you try loosening the screws? I'd try it again on sale personally, but I'm extremely anal about low power chips being too shy of full speed.
>>11494031I could, but I already returned it months ago. The bigger issue was that the usb port must've detached after 3 weeks of use and it wouldn't charge unless I left the console plugged in with the wire in one of a few very specific positions. I must've got a truly shit one from the QC lotto and I don't feel the need to roll again as I adquired other 'helds since.>>11494027>Powkiddy's making a successor.Big if true, guess waiting is still the better option, or better yet play with what I have. After all it's mostly for the novelty of having a good clamcell.
>>11494017buy a fucking brick already you assholes
for 640x480 devices. still working on it, the drop shadows are a bit much. looks great though, comes with gridlines. i know nobody really plays game gear but i wanted to do it for completion's sake since there's already numerous bezel+grids for game boy etc
>>11494047i want one soo bad
I use a TrimUI brick for GB, GBC, GBA and PS1. Then my Retroid Pocket 5 for everything else.
>>11494112I have a 'ick and 'eck
Is it worth it to upgrade from an LCD Deck to OLED Deck? Asking from retro system emulation perspective to keep it retro.
>>11494062Awesome, let me know when it's done. Still weird to me that Game Gear used non-square pixels, I know it's got a 4:3 display but unlike NES and SNES being stretched from 8:7, it just doesn't feel right.
>>11494112Trimui Smart Pro and Trimui Smart for old console stuff, 'eck and 'ick for retro PC games and vintage stuff for physical carts.
>>11494047No
All I want is a R36SP for $50-70. I mean, it just rolls off the tongue already.I don't even need good sticks or for it to sleep when closed, i'd put COCKNIX on it anyway. Is that too much to ask?
>Discovered portmaster already has many indie games already on my steam library. It's unfortunate Dark Deity is too heavy for the RGXXSP, but at least Balatro and Stardew work.I fucking chinkhelds. I already bought my sister one and I'm just waiting her to finish Megaman Battlenetwork 5 so I can flash it.>>11494115No. It's not worth it to replace the steam deck with another steam deck. If you don't already have one get the OLED of course, but there's no point upgrading.
>>11494115We have both >>>/v/ and >>>/g/ for thisObvious answer is no anyway
>>11494047>vertislop
The A30 is endgame
>Dreamed I finally got a local tracking number and a delivery dateAlso, while I love the RG28XX, I can't help to long for some analog sticks. I looked around and the smallest PS1 capable device with sticks was the Retroid Flip which doesn't exist anymore. I guess the only current option would be something like the RG353P.
>>11494418Same. The MagicX seems like the ideal step up.
>>11494431Specfically the Mini Zero28. Except it doesn't come in GameCube Orange.
>>11494431>touch zero40 has a A- for DSWhat are they thinking? That device NEEDS A+ NDS compatibility.
>>11494116damn, should I leave it like it is or make it with wide pixels?
I like my RP2S but I wish it was more powerful
>>11494642The RP Mini was made for you then.
>>11494485Not retro, but... Why would you need a chinkheld for DS when the DSi XL is absolutely excellent to this day, that screen is amazing.To keep it retro, it's also great for GB and GBC. And GBA if you can tolerate the GBArunner inaccuracies.
>>11494710Arent DSi screens yellowing?
>>11494717Mine sure isn't. I read that people who order them from Japan these days will get yellowed ones, someone speculated it was due to the humid air there or whatever. Anyway mine is fine so it can't be a universal issue.
>>11494717Your underwear is yellowing.
>>11494642Same. It was my first changheld and I'm glad I got one. My RP5 is on the way.
>>11494710What inaccuracies does GBARunner have? I played a couple games on there and didn't notice anything.
>>11494740Not every game has them. Most have minor audio or graphics glitches, and a couple have major glitches, like superstar saga, where you have to enter the menu and change a setting at the start of literally every battle
>>11494717No but my ds lite has moisture stuck in the screen from all the blowing browsers inside story makes you do
>>11494664im not paying more than 2x the price for not double the power
>>11494759Oh yeah? Well what if I said please?
>>11494761nofor 200 dollars I'd rather get a RP4pro lol
>>11494785Why RP4P over the rp5?
>>1149479450 dollars cheaperbecause I just got the RP2S I haven't actually seriously done any research, though I do know the mini is overpriced for what I want
>>11494798Yah alright it was just price. The RP2s looked solid, the mini seems overpriced.I've been looking at these for long enough my wife is wondering why I haven't gotten one by now.Thinking about the rp4 regular or the rp5. The 1080p screen looked good additionally for using it as a handheld streaming device.
>>11494431Fuck me, Mini Zero28 and Touch Zero40 look fucking perfect. >Both coming soon>Never heard of MagicX beforeI hope they're good.
>>11494710>Why would you need a chinkheld for DSI'm not saying you do, but that device in particular has a vertical 16:9 screen that only really makes sense if you're displaying two DS screens
>>11494818>Touch Zero40 look fucking perfectNo it doesn't, A- DS compatibility means it's pointless.
>>11493717>if it’s a regular 5wYes. In fact the recommendation is to plug it to a 5w charger. But since people has fast chargers everywhere, a couple of them tried to charge it with those with c to c connection and it ended with the handhelds either fried or with bulging batteries. At the best scenario, nothing would happen but also no charge.Funniest thing, Anbernic only needs to add a single piece of hardware on the board that cost pennies and c to c charging would work just fine (in theory)
>>11494861I've had various 5w chargers and the only ones that never fucked up any devices were the apple ones, but they don't seem to make em anymore. Any solid ones you could recommend?
>>11494863Ugreen chargers have been solid to me. Have one of those gan ones with 3 c ports and 1 type a and no issues. There’s a lot of them in AliExpress
Nice, GammaOS seems to be working on the trimui smart pro.
>>11494887Wait what? GammaOS is Android. Are you talking about MuOS?
>>11494172Ew
>>11494856It’s using the shartui’s chip, so I’m not sure why it’s rated a-
>>11494887No. Gammadev got off his ass and is porting it to the smart pro. X28chads are crying in the corner
>>11494062>>11494116i'm calling it finishedhttps://easyupload.io/3n716aagain this is for 640x480 devices
>>11493281I'd expect to see a release either the end of this year or early next year with the OLED refresh in late 2027. Unless we expect it to launch with the OLED which I don't think is a realistic thing to expect considering Nintendo didn't do that for the Switch 2.Question is, what are we expecting out of it? I'm fully expecting 1080p rather than 800p, it just seems like the perfect stopgap and every single one of their competitors is also doing it or going to ridiculous heights that it shouldn't like 1440p. I also don't expect Rog Ally X performance but something in between an Ally and an Ally X.
>>11494598>>11494974Yeah, not much reason to make it with wide pixels when a 640x480 screen won't leave room for bezels anyway. A 16:9 version with bezels and wide pixels might be neat though, or for 3:2 would be cool for the 34XX in particular but others as well.
>>11494710>Why would you need a chinkheld for DS when the DSi XL is absolutely excellent to this day, that screen is amazing.Some people want the ability to take screenshots on the device without a capture card, higher resolutions, the ability to iron out performance issues, the ability to have something integer scale 2x or so, RetroAchievements, better emulator performance for games prior to DS/3DS since the ported emulators are always worse than stuff you get on Linux or Android and always out of date, easier mod integration, etc.I'm someone who takes screenshots both for posting purposes and because my memory is terrible due to medical issues that I end up with hundreds to thousands per game I play so I can recall what I did. Having something like that would be super useful over the DS which requires a capture card soldered into the actual handheld or the 3DS which requires you to run NTRboot every single time before you start any game.
>>11493281According to AMD, it is using one of their Z2 chips. According to Valve, it isn't.
>>11495045oh yeah true. i wanna make a whole set of bezel/scanline/grid overlays for 720/1080p for TVs and monitors as I havent really seen anyone doing this. i'd like to do it for the Brick as well, if i can ever get my hands on one. does that one comes with bezels already?
>>11494062>i know nobody really plays game gearIt's such a shame how little love the Game Gear seems to get here, it's a neat handheld with an excellent library to go back to.
>>11495170what are your favorites? i'm looking to explore it more

>>11494017Why is it so hard for companies to make functional SP clones?
>>11494017the v90 is pretty fantastic if you can tolerate some SNES games having frameskip or just being entirely unplayable like starfox or yoshi's island. i love mine though, i beat both the zelda oracle games on it recently
>>11495434It's the perfect take out and about for a romp handheld. I tend to keep my handhelds and home and baby em/keep em clean as possible, but the v90 is a real solider and I actually play it.
>>11495170Love this pic of the Game Gear with the floral print couch in the background. Retro games and grandma aesthetics, we could be friends
>>11493336Cute trainer.Which hack?
>>11493565I get literally no heat up from playing ps2. Ive encountered only one game that heated up my phone, which was upscaled dqix for whatever fucking reason that was too much to handle. native res it was fine.. I guess dqix really pushes the limit of melonds.
Purple is the best color.
A cheap switch lite with picofly is objectively the best handheld
>>11495558>Can't even do PS2/GCLmao
>>11489506>PWM eye rape>superb
>>11495561Any game worthy of my time already has a switch port
