Nah, I've been actively lurking these threads for about a year now.
I was being ironic with that first post, but I'm actually interested in it for up to ps2 games and the 1080p screen might be nice with moon light.
Seems good enough to run AZ video recording with whatever the replay buffer is to record gameplay.
The only thing that looks bad is that it's on the slightly pricier end, the battery life, and the sleep mode loses like 35% overnight.

Maybe if you have things running in the background. I close everything and lose only a few percent every night.

What's the cheapest handheld that can play Game Boy/GBA ROMS with little to no emulation glitches? I've been looking at various Anbernic models but nothing stands out to me. I have several original Game Boys but I want something worthless I can carry around with me. What do you guys recommend?

What are some handhelds with interesting designs?
I don't care about getting an "ultimate toy". I'm far more interested in handhelds that are different, odd or just plain cool.
Stuff like:

What comes to your mind?

not necessarily. nes is an 8:7 ratio at 256x224 pixels, there are a variety of possible resolutions that fit that ratio without being an integer multiple or 256 or 224. if you're scaling up the image to fit the borders of at least one dimension of the screen while maintaining the aspect ratio, it's probably non-integer scaled.

Given crop overscan it does 3x integer.

The emulator crops overscan by default, but if you're familiar with NES you know games rarely ever uses those 4 pixels on the edges. SNES is where things can sometimes get cropped.

Not that guy, doesn't let me set aspect ratio on custom, probably because of the core overrides.
The defaults are dumb, no other OS I used puts save/states in its own folder for example. And some of the stuff has me editing overrides by hand. Unfortunately, Knulli's defaults are also stupid. I took ArkOS and JELOS for granted.

>>11497570
Just switch themes and optionally dig up the libretro URLs from ArkOS for content updater/downloader to work again.
>>
>>11497730
I've heard Retroid or even Anbernic might exchange handhelds with dead pixels. But TrimUI might be tricky.
>>
>>11497714
Stuck or dead? I'm sure you can run one of those videos that unstuck stuck pixels, though you may need one that specifically runs at the resolution and frame rate of your device's screen.
>>
>>11497742
Looks like it is stuck in green.
It's not dead.
>>
>>11497735
>doesn't let me set aspect ratio on custom, probably because of the core overrides
correct, muOS and probably most custom firmwares have core overrides for every single included core because they wanted to provide a basic out-of-the-box experience. when you change the resolution or aspect ratio or whatever else, you have to then go into the quick menu and hit "core overrides > save core overrides". if you just want globally applied settings for all cores you can go into each core and hit "remove core override" and then when you change the aspect ratio/resolution stuff it'll apply it to everything.
not to shit on you but its just a combination of user inexperience, retroarch being inherently fucky and confusing, and custom firmwares wanting to do more than just be a blank slate by offering some preconfigured settings out of box.
>>
>>11497747
>when you change the resolution or aspect ratio or whatever else, you have to then go into the quick menu and hit "core overrides > save core overrides".
You misunderstand, it reverts in real-time when you pick custom, it's a pain in the ass.
>>
>>11497751
you're saying when you switch it to something other than custom, it immediately switches back before you even leave that menu?

I'll never understand the idiots that gush over them. They look good in photos and they have that wow-factor when you first unbox them, but the novelty wears off quick when you realize that a slight drop results in a part of the device instantly being chipped with no easy repairs or way to hide it. Companies should really offer full plastic versions of devices at a discounted price for those that don't want to deal with all the bullshit. Russ complaining about "muh glossy plastic" doesn't matter much comparing to having a more durable device in the long term, or having a more easily repairable device at that.

lmoa
the only warranty that works is the one from retailers (read: Amazon). The way it works is that you initially pay 1.5 times what you should, and if you happen to be part of the 1% that will file a refund and actually take it to court if they give you the runaround,
they'll just send you a new one funded by the remaining 99%.
I spent half as much time trying to get some old phones/laptops fixed on warranty as I spent actually using them. Had a poco x2 way back with a faulty battery connector that stopped displayed an accurate battery reading and would be prone to just shutting off under load. It went through 3 service trips under warranty without the issue ever being fixed right up until they straight up stopped accepting that brick's serial number in their website. Phone support just told me to dial an infinite loop of different numbers.
If big name chink manufacturers do this shit all the time I don't expect a small one to give me the time of day.

In fairness, Russ is using Kawase Glow in that video, and that one is super aggressive with no built-in way to tame it down. I've been trying to wrangle it using image-adjustment for my CRT shader stack, and it's pretty tough trying to balance between toning down the harshness on bright highlights without causing the rest of the image to become too dark and crushing the blacks. I'm liking the result of this attempt so far, though.

A depressing number of people buy great condition Game Boy/GBC/GBA models and destructively mod them, ruining the original, working screens/shells/buttons. Similar to those faggots who build "GBA Macro" systems by buying working DS consoles and snapping them in half, before putting a pencil/piece of plastic or nothing at all in the broken hinge.

I shamefully spent a few months on reddit solely for the Game Boy community, because traditional forums for console modding are dead. The amount of people mass importing Game Boy consoles from Japan and butchering them with ham handed, shit quality mods for upvotes and breaking/trashing the OEM components is genuinely depressing as fuck. Nothing like seeing cunts buying lots of pristine consoles and slapping the cheapest possible IPS panels in them with a shitty shell and demanding praise for their "Hard work". Hell, the only reason I used Reddit was because I was tired of seeing the same thing on Youtube. For every one or two people with good modding videos you had the videos from would-be influencers breaking stuff in the process of "improving" it.

I'm not the guy you're replying to, but the original anon who went of on the muOS rant last night.
The overrides not saving properly and resetting between games is exactly what caused me the most trouble with this OS.
The save file management the other anon mentioned, and how it puts each save in its own subfolder also means I can't easily sync all my saves with my other devices.
I talked to some of the devs on their discord about these issues, and they essentially told me they weren't planning to change anything.

Seems like a decent OS otherwise though.

>CES didn't announce any new gaming handhelds but the Legion Go S, which is just a shittier Steam Deck

Okay, rog ally X it is then I guess.
>>
>>11496720
What I really wanna know is which one of these fucking handhelds actually has decent quality ABYX buttons with a D-pad as close to the GBA SP as possible. I got a Retroid Pocket 2+ and everything is fine except for the ABYX buttons. They're horrendous. The buttons require them to be mashed in and almost make playing on a modded Kindle tablet better.
>>11497267
Sorry buddy but if it's anything like the regular PSP in terms of emulation it's gonna be very hit or miss. I play a lot of translated gay RPG games and my PSP2000 would shit the bed the moment I would load up translated games. I tried playing Sweet Home English translated version on my New 3DS and it completely crashed the whole system. Can any anons point me in the direction of a some what decent pocketable handheld with some quality buttons? I really don't wanna get an Ayaneo Pocket DMG but it's starting to look more and more like the only viable option. It costs almost as much as a refurbished Steam Deck though.

>Benchmarking the RP5 against more powerful android devices is kinda pointless because they all play Switch/PS2/GC """Relatively""" the same
I find it genuinely impressive how fucking useless this guy is, he says some blatantly false shit and nobody calls him out on it.
He shits out this months late review and does the bare minimum still, yet somehow holds some of the highest viewership in the space.

I actually can't think of a genuine reason anyone would watch this fella over others. Are sarcastic marvel quips and having 0 taste really that interesting?

>>
>>11500030
>I actually can't think of a genuine reason anyone would watch this fella over others.
Because he does the everyman review. Nothing extremely technical, shows basic issues someone might have, and talks about the systems from the perspective of casual usage. He also has no real affiliation with anyone since he's blacklisted by all of them.
>>
>>11500009
the RG35XX SP has basically identical face buttons/dpad. all click no squish
>>
>>11500030
>I actually can't think of a genuine reason anyone would watch this fella over others.
Because he's unbiased and uses his own money on the handhelds.
And he's right about Switch/PS2/GC Performance.
The performance between a RG35XX and a RP5 is better but RP5 to say something like an Odin is pretty much neglible. Besides if you are going to spend $300 on an android handheld you may aswell just get the Steam Deck. Adding more power is not going to help much when the software for PS2/Switch emulation is basically real barebones, AetherSX2 is fucking dead and Switch Android is still being worked on.
>>
>>11500042
Even Russ proves the RP5 can't handle Switch indies.
>>
I never got the whole "I need an emulated switch on my android." thing.

A switch lite is cheap as fuck and then you just mod it with a picofly and you get all switch games, add in retroarch and you get a lot more shit.
Retarded really, if you want to emulate switch get a steam deck.
>>
>>11500078
Did Russ even show any Switch emulation? Isn't he afraid Nintendo is going to murder him right now?
>>
>>11500084
He showed the Switch version of Hades running on the RP5 vs the Odin 2.
>>
>>11500078
>Russ posting Switch emulation on his channel
LOL

The RP5 runs Persona 5 Royal at a locked 30fps and thats enough for me.
>>
>>11500087
Is this using the JIT/Qualcomm drivers or the NCE/Turnip drivers as the Turnip drivers make a load of difference on RP5.
>>
>>11500083
Switch emulation on Android is a very nice bonus. Switch has a lot of indie and lite games that you can play, some of which give an alternative to the Windows/Deck versions.

>>11500030
I've come to notice most tech reviewers are retarded and don't know anything. If they're not spouting misinformation or straight up lies, they're just reading from a shill script. ETAprime is very guilty of this.
