Convince me not to get a RP5 (besides shit battery life)
>>11496752Buy an ad
>>11496752You dont actually play games and rather buy 100 h700 and rockchip handhelds
I wanna quit my job and make that sweet chinkheld shill money
>>11496757He posts this in every thread, just ignore him anon
>>11496761I posted it two threads ago and really meant it.I don't know who this new guy is.
>>11496761Nah, 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.
>>11496787>35% overnightMaybe if you have things running in the background. I close everything and lose only a few percent every night.
>>11496720What'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?
>>1149684835XX Plus.
>>11496848
>>11496752I'm actually here to convince you TO get one.
>>11496840If i have to close all the programs to get decent sleep mode battery, at that point you might as well turn it off?
>>11496848powkiddy v90 very much fits this bill. you can find it for 30 on aliexpress or 40ish on amazon. extremely lightweight turd build quality but its very tiny and easy to take anywhere and it'll play gb/a fine
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:>classic 2DS>TrimUI Model S>Anbernic RG Nano Mini>PlayDateWhat comes to your mind?
>>11496986The RGB30/Anbernic Cube1:1 is pretty cool.
>>11496986Steam Deck
>>114969861:1 is pretty dope.SP is nice too, but that might be me never having had one.
>>11497023Nothing interesting about being the fifth fucking handheld like it.>>11496986Sugar Cube certainly makes "interesting" designs if we want to be polite.
>>11497131Mushy shoulder buttons (why isn't this standard).Sega-esque d-pad, but on the right spot.Sane screen mount so no fucked up light bleed like the original Cube.Sure it's not exactly groundbreaking, but it's the most polished of the bunch.
Atari bros we are so backhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WKEH1laHQ6A
>>11496986GKD Pixelthe software is trash though, due to bugs it can't run anything above game boy without audio issues
So apparently the Flop has a ungrounded metal backplate on the screen, so it builds up static and causes a halo.
>>11497176It's a feature!
>>11497176Jesus Christ, can it get any worse for Miyoo right now?
>>11497176Miyoo lucked into making the miyoo mini. Everything else they release is SHIT.
>>11497207No offense, but the only reason Miyoo Mini got so much clout is because of FOMO. It's a cheap. flimsy, poorly made, underpowered, piece of shit that makes Anbernic devices look premium.
>>11497212still has a better dpad than ambernig
>>11497176>delay the flip out the ass to the point where Anbernic managed to not only rip off your design, but release it months ahead of time>it's still a piece of fucking shitlmfao>>11497212To be fair, it had a nice screen in a time that chinkhelds were all shipping with completely washed one ones.
>>11497217Nah. The 35XX Plus has a better dpad.
>>11497212it's not underpowered at all. It's an older device and nothing else was better at that price point you dumb nigger. You keep saying this every thread because you're too stupid to just install onion os
>>11496986Definitely the PSP Go. I have some Miyoos and Retroids but I always end up back at this one.
>>11497124If you set an NES game to perfect pixel "aspect ratio" does this do a perfect integer scale?
>Numale soitrannies sperg out when you attack their precious hipster miyoo shit
>>11497176They delayed their device by an entire year and yet they still have these sorts of lemons out in the wild? This is far worse than anything Powkiddy and Anbernic shipped out even at the budget end.
>>11497294Yes if you allow overscan, you lose 4 pixels on the left and right which you won't notice
>>11497317Oh I usually have to crop that much out due to trash overscan pixels anyway
>>11497316I can't believe how insanely mismanaged they are. If they have any Minimoney left they need to poach some anbernig engineers asap before it runs out because they obviously don't know how to find the right hires themselves
>>11496752Mogged by a switch lite + picofly
>>11496752Battery life is actually pretty decent.
>>11497330oldfag here. I dont like anbernic either
>>11497356neither do i but they obviously have engineers that can shit stuff out in like a month or two vs miyoo that takes years to have at least if not more problems at launch anyways.
>>11497294not 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.
Out for delivery for 14 hours.I'm a little upset.
>>11497457What is it?
>>11497510
>>11496720>day 458 of no GarlicOS 2 on RG35XX+
>>11497518>RetroidYeah, they're so bad at shipping.
>>11496857Does using the wrong chargers still fry the Plus model like on the OG RG35XX?I've been hesitant to use my Steam Deck charger on it.
>>11497529Yeah. It either won't charge or it overheats the port/battery.I just use a random old iPhone charger.
>>11497525What's wrong with muOS?
>>11497526If you go 4PX yes.4PX in general are shit.Pay Extra and go DHL.
>>11497539I prefer the more stock Retroarch feel. muOS uses Retroarch as well, but it prevents you from changing a bunch of settings, doesn't like custom directories, playlists, basically all the shit I'm used to from every other platform I run Retroarch on.
>>11497538Oof, I was really hoping they'd have fixed that for the Plus. Thanks for letting me know though!
>>11497560Oh that sucks.Yeah, I love customizing RA to run how I like it.
>>11497539The retroarch it uses is like the shit barebones retroarch.
>>11497570Yeah?It seems the same as the others to me...
>>11496848R36s. Just make sure it’s not a clone.>>11496934The v90 needs oc, for some gba games and unless it got fixed, some gba games can’t even be played with retroarch
>>11497526I mean, it has been 12 days since I ordered. But it made it to the point it should be a local delivery service's hands and not be an issue.>>11497558I've never heard of 4PX before and when I googled it, the reddit thread seems to be talking positively about 4PX so I cheaped out. I'm starting to regret it.
>>11497309Anon, look at most anbernic shills. You’re just as much of a soiboy only without the self awareness. This is why phoneLORDS laugh at most posters here. (The 5 powkiddy users keep to themselves)
>>11497207The pocketgo 1 was finePocketgo 2 was their best device. Literally just the rg350/gamekiddy350 without a retarded price for a mips device.The rk2020 was an odroid clone with the exact same flaws as the odroid, but so was every other odroid cloneThe s30 sucked.
>>11497294Given crop overscan it does 3x integer.https://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>>11497320The 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.
>>114976898 pixels, rather.
I have my Retroid Pocket 5.What do I setup on it lol
What was the reason for buying a RP5?
>>11497708For me it was portable moddable Stardew Valley but on an OLED screen.
>>11497560>but it prevents you from changing a bunch of settingsi'm using it right now and i've not had this problem>doesn't like custom directoriesor this problem>playlistsi don't know why they turned them off in the menu item visibility but you can turn them back onanyway whats the point of RA playlists when it gives you a main menu to navigate through your library
>Excited to get my TrimUI Brick>Set it up>Notice theres a stuck pixelFUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
>>11497714lollmao even, tough luck bud
>>11497714send it back
>>11497721Yeah I put in a return request already on AliExpress.
Good luck with sending it back. Corpos usually have a certain amount of dead pixels before they take a return. Now imagine some small ass company?
>>11497730If the seller on AliExpress isn't willing to do returns then go to your bank/credit card company with proof it is a defective product and proof they aren't willing to accept a return and your bank/credit card will issue a chargeback.
>>11497712>but it prevents you from changing a bunch of settings>i'm using it right now and i've not had this problemNot 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.>>11497570Just switch themes and optionally dig up the libretro URLs from ArkOS for content updater/downloader to work again.
>>11497730I've heard Retroid or even Anbernic might exchange handhelds with dead pixels. But TrimUI might be tricky.
>>11497714Stuck 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.
>>11497742Looks 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 overridescorrect, 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.
>>11497751you're saying when you switch it to something other than custom, it immediately switches back before you even leave that menu?
>>11497757No, I'm saying it won't set to custom at all.
Glass front panels were a mistake.
>>11497803>MagicX pitches glass panels for every other budget modelFuture's looking real grim.
What's the best cheapest handheld that can do Switch?
>>11497817A nintendo switch lite.
>>11497830But I want a handheld that can also play GameBoy, SNES, Genesis, and N64 too?
>>11497838A nintendo switch lite.
>>11497838Switch Lite with NS Online.
>>11497838Chip it. Can't imagine it runs N64 well, but then again what does.
>>11497848It already has N64 amulation.you can pirate the NSO N64 thing and I am fairly certain you can add roms to it.Switch Lite with the modchip will do what he wants.Retroarch for the rest.
>>11497850I know but it's laggy as shit, he's probably better just running something on Android.
How's the steamdeck for ps2 emulation?0 interest in using it handheld maybe a little docked emulation station
What's stopping me from buying games off steam, put the files in my chinkheld, then refunding the game?
>>11497886The brain power you lack to realize it's way more work than just pirating.
>>11497886Steam purchases are not standalone rom/iso files.
>>11497771that is bizarre, i've got 2 devices running muos and neither have this problem and i cant find a single thing about it on google
>>11497803I'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.
>>11496754If we bought an ad would you buy a trimui brick?
>>11497830Holy fucking based response>>11497838Use your phone if youre poor
>>11497929Use my phone to play Switch games?
>>11497917I've never broken a glass screen device in my entire life because I'm not a fat sausage-fingered faggot with zero self control.
>install retroarch on phone(oled)>play DSvanias>enable LCD shader+bloom>it looks absolutely fantastic (inb4seethe)>device begins to heat up>"hey this is starting to get kinda hot">keeps getting hotter and hotter>actually gets to the point of being physically painful to touch>feels like it's going to explodeso that's why they call him tim cook
>>11497803I love my RP5 but if you'll pardon the expression it's like having a snobby gorgeous gf.Yes, she looks amazing. But you wouldn't take her camping, hiking or on a road trip. That's what the shartui dumbo is for.
>>11497961Sausage fingers respect glass screens the most. Look at etaprime>>11497965Melon? And is it a Samsung? Some of those have SHIT heat management.
>>11497978Yeah melon, PoR didn't seem to run with desmume. iphone.
WE'RE SO BACK!!"And there is a MicroSD port that you can use... for firmware updates! ; ) wink wink"$149.99https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5TRdc72Kzs
>>11497981That is bizzare. I played hours of rune factory on my 6thgen iPad with no problems other than the touch not working how it should. Mind you, I’m not on he latest firmware and jailbroken.>>11497982What are the chances of that thing using a super good chip that’s easy to crack? Secret kino for ngage emulation?
>>11497993Actually now desmume seems to work, weird. I think it's just the shader really pushing it over the edge. RIP
>>11497940No. Use your Switch Lite for Switch games and your phone for emulation. Or just buy a Switch + chinkheld separately if you really want the best of all worlds
>>11497965Exactly as the developers intended!
>>11497982When? 150 bucks is a great price
>>11497982The hell is the point of this, 150 is a scam
>>11498024>>11498027The duality of man.
>>11498004i don't set it quite that high but i like it to gleam a little from the screen. shiny is nice when you've been a pro gamer for 4000 years :)just a touch looks great on an oled when you can really take advantage of the contrasting blacks
>>11497965Just redeem the GameSaar cooler to go with your GameSaar gamepad. You're already using two pockets. Redeem the third pocket a small price to pay to dab on pakistani chinkheld usars.
>>11498032You guys are just larping because its le atariz0rs. Its faggoty garbage.
>>11498032>>11498043If you thought the nigSP and TSP shilling were bad, wait until this turd is out. It may be the worst or best thing for its price point, but that hardly matters.It has [Big American Brand] on it so it is going to live or die by how many boomers will be swindled into buying it to offset the marketing costs and management bonuses.The thread will be unusable for a good ~3 months but luckily for me I'm pretty much set with what i have for at least a year. Feel free to @ me with your based atarijaks so I can filter preemptively them.
>>11496752Glass front, a crack on the edge can stretch across the screen
Is there a stuck pixel video or tool or something I can use on a 1024x768 display?I at least want to try to fix this pixel.
>>11498050I think I've seen maybe one image of a cracked RPMini posted and that's it. Doesn't seem like a big problem as people make it out to be.
>>11498050>boughted it with the official glass protector>peeked at ali for replacements in case mine cracks>mr shield, my go to glass manufacturer, opted to not bother making a full cover and made this chopped abomination>when the whole point of getting a cover would be to protect the exposed far edges from bumps and fallswhat the FUCK shieldbros
>>11498062I don't use one. It has a 1 year warranty provided you don't open it or unlock the bootloader. Just contact them and send it back. They will more than likely repair it or send a replacement.
Chinkbros, what are you playin?Phonelords, what are you finishing?
>>11498064>trusting chink warrantylmoathe 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.
>>11498043t. low quality chinkheld enjoyer
>>11497965>>11498004>>11498038In 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.
>>11497714Free her
>>11498117top left game?
>>11497982Because it has a trackball and wheel, I hope that thing has the power to play those golf arcade games that used to be in bars that used a track ballThe little wheel would also be cool for racing games

>>11497714So update lads.Funny thing. It seems to have fixed itself.
>>11498373It was probably a cheeto crumb...
>>11498394Does the sound sound like shit to you?Idk if it is because I am on Knulli Alpha or the speakers are just that shit. It sounds low quality compared to my RG35XX Plus.
>>11498573Oh yeah, sounds like shit. About the same as a Miyoo Mini.

>>11497803God it's depressing seeing what we (basically) could have had. RP5 would've looked and felt so much better.>>11498814I've read RP5 uses Dragon Trail (nip gorilla glass) multiple times but never seen any proof. Not sure what that's about.
Is there any (stable and usable) alternative OS for the trimui brick yet? I don't really care for the "high end" emulators
>>11496720
>>11498801the alternative is his whole channel gets removed, hes already on strike 2
A gba to gut off ebay for an ita mod is like $55
>>11498951Better be buying GBA units with broken screens. Only Predditor faggots gut perfectly usable, working, vintage units.
>>11498890minUI is up, there's a knulli alpha which will hopefully reach a "stable" version soon and muOS should be coming, just gotta wait unfortunately if you don't like minUI
>>11498698>Meanwhile every other reviewer is still openly emulating Nintendo gamesRuss is such a cuck.
>>11498959Eh sure, I'll try out minUI
>>11498951I got my GBA already pre-modded off ebay for like $70 because the guy thought the screen was broken but all I had to do was open it up and change the wires.
>>11498949He was stroked for being a dumbass and emulating first party switch games.Nintendo won't give a shit if he emulates sonic pinball party on gba.
>>11498958I don't get what the issue is? gutting is basically reshelling a system? if you sort by cheapest on ebay you get shit that looks like a dogs chew toy
>>11498993Wulf Denn isnt. check his brick review.
>>11499080woof is a giant cuck too, just a different variety of cuck. SHANT be watching!
>>11499090not true, he's one of the best reviewers on the platform.
>>11499093LMAO good one
>>11498004I think this looks kinda cool.The FPS counter ruins it, but the effect is pretty awesome. Reminds me of those Sony Watchman portable TVs.
curvature on real CRTs is fine but on filters i absolutely dont get it
>>11499070A 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.

>>11499110>"watchman">isn't a watch at allI have this
>>11498879To remind us the d-pad is fucking horrible, I guess.
>>11499307I 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.
>>11497757I'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.
>>11493587Wondering what to place between the controls. I opted for a wifi/bt/camera/mic kill switch to physically remove these functions. Yes, I'm paranoid.
>CES didn't announce any new gaming handhelds but the Legion Go S, which is just a shittier Steam DeckOkay, rog ally X it is then I guess.
>>11496720What 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. >>11497267Sorry 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 sameI 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?
>>11500030Can you prove him wrong or what?
it pains me that no one is ripping off this design. this shit was so clean and it still is to this day. the closest one is maybe the rg28xx but all the shell options are fuck ugly. i want this back
>>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.
>>11500009the 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.
>>11500042Even 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.
>>11500078Did Russ even show any Switch emulation? Isn't he afraid Nintendo is going to murder him right now?
>>11500084He showed the Switch version of Hades running on the RP5 vs the Odin 2.
>>11500078>Russ posting Switch emulation on his channelLOLThe RP5 runs Persona 5 Royal at a locked 30fps and thats enough for me.
>>11500087Is this using the JIT/Qualcomm drivers or the NCE/Turnip drivers as the Turnip drivers make a load of difference on RP5.
>>11500083Switch 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.>>11500030I'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.
Switch on RP5 is better when you install the Turnip Drivers.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fA2WhGweBLc&t=288sThis guy also covers a lot of RP5 stuff.Theres a compatibility list there which /vr/ wont let me link due to "spam"
i am having fun playing video games (:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUlwVf8vjIkThis looks retarded.
>>11500212lol that screen flipping to face the player is hilarious, means that there are now two screens to worry about being exposed to the elements at all times on each side. i bet the hinges will snap like a twig too
>>11500161Honestly I don't know why the Turnip Drivers don't come preinstalled. If you actually want to game fully the turnip drivers are a no brainer as you get big performance gains from it.
>>11500030So based
>>11499870Other anon here. Yeah, they're incredibly pigheaded, and at times flippant, about the things they do differently and it's a total pain, part of the reason I never reached out to them. A shame the only other options are Knulli with very lengthy boot times once you load games and very slow development, and Rocknix RC which I'm told is locked out of the proprietary GPU driver which performs best so it sorta rules out 3D. Might end up moving to it anyway and ports be damned, as PS1 rendering is software mode reliant for some reason.>>11500247I hear it doesn't always work.
>>11500212Looks okay in theory but all those hinges are going to snap after a month of use.
>>11500030> He shits out this months late review and does the bare minimum still, yet somehow holds some of the highest viewership in the space.Always figured those were whatever audience he holds rather than chinkheld autists. Rarely see his videos being discussed.That said, I can see how him not being a completely socially retarded mess with impaired speech makes his channel look more credible and approachable to the parasocial gen. Lacking the dull, droning bullet point reading of specs that don't mean anything helps too.
So I've bought an MM+.>can't install Onion OS on the pre-packaged microSD because it's so shit, it WILL fail during formatting or installing, potentially bricking the entire thing>basically afraid to even turn it on right now out of fear of microSD shitting itself>pre-packaged microSD reader is a dumpster fire that kills cards>built-in emulators are shit>mixed bag of roms in Chinese and Japanese>got rickrolledNot a single e-celeb shill told me about it.And most importantly, now I...don't want it anymore. I don't see the usecase. I want to play King's Field 1, but it's better on bigger screen. I guess I can play...Super Mario Bros? Wizardry 1? I hate pokemon crap, played it too much as a kid. Maybe the usecase will invent itself over time.The d-pad is okay, I guess, played Tekken 3 no problem.I'll get a new microSD tomorrow, maybe my experience improves with onions. Also lack of bluetooth is a bummer. Thanks for reading my blog.
>>11500357Oh yeah and I also need to find some shitty charger because apparently anything modern with fast charge will cause battery to explode, like what the fuck is this, cambrian explosion times?
>>11500357Onionruss actually did point out how shit the sdcards and pre packed roms are. Chinks or at least Anbernic started off with using decent cards before swapping with no name shit that corrupts in seconds and then swapping back to decent cards again.>>11500365These things use parts from old MP3 players that used mini usb.
>>11500367>These things use parts from old MP3 players that used mini usb.Lmao okay, that's why it's so cheap I guess.
>>11500368The dingoo a320 (Old mips chinkheld) straight up used a modified os of a phone that had the same chip. Hence it came with phone games like 7 days salvation
>>11500357Chinkhelds are trash, if jewtubers shills the fuck out of them is because they have affiliate links, Anon.Don't be fucking stupid, Anon. Get a Steam Deck, an Atari GameStation Go or a gamepad for your phone. Chinkhelds are low quality shit.
>>11500378>The dingoo a320Man that's a blast from the past, I actually had that thing, like, 10 years ago. It was kino. Wonder what happened with all the Dingux scene around it. Probably died very quickly.>used a modified os of a phone that had the same chip. Hence it came with phone games like 7 days salvationThat's crazy, didn't know. I remember 7 days as a silent hill ripoff.>>11500380Well I don't see the point in buying Steam Deck for Game Boy emulation or something like that. You can fit chinkheld in your pocket and use it somewhere where you need to wait a lot. I travel often, so it can be useful to have. >gamepad for your phoneNah, rubs me off the wrong way. Phonegaming feels cheaper and more awkward to play than chinkhelds for some reason. Mumbai vibes.
Have you prayed to Russ of Balanced Pixels for great Shoryukenables and Hadoukenables today?
>>11500051He made a video about how no fan, even if pointed directly at the air intake, would help launch switches stay cool. Guy is a fuckin retard
>>11500292>I hear it doesn't always work.I have had zero problems with anything. Currently sitting in bed playing Persona 5 Royal switch ver on my RP5.
>>11496848R36S
>>11500549Except vita3k, which needs old very specific turnip versions or it will shit itself.
>>11500558What you on about? Turnip 24.3.0 R9V2 runs Vita3k fine
>>11500357No offense, but why would you buy that thing when the 35XX plus and the TrimUI Brick exist?
>>11500564which is an old very specific turnip version, anonand it doesn't work for all games, I had to switch 23.something for one game
>>11500570>which is an old very specific turnip versionIt's the best driver for RP5 in terms of performance thats why.
>>11500572No, it will literally just crash with newer versions.Just try it out yourself and grab the latest turnip release and load it into vita3k.It will crash. I've tried it.
>>11500357Send it to me, I'll take it
>>11500573Why would I use a new turnip release when 24.3 R9V2 is the best performing driver?
>>11500578because it caused crashes with a game
It's embarrassing how fucking bad the RP5 turned out...
>>11500579Doesn't on the games I play lmao
>>11500581try DQ Builders complete crash the moment you start to move your character
>>11500580It's a piece of fucking shit.RP4Pro is way better value for the price.
>>11500584Works fine on my Switch emulator.
>>11500205Naturally. You're playing on a 40XX-H, which is the device known to facilitate video gaming and the having of fun therein at a rate significantly higher than that of similar devices.
>>11500586I was specifically talking about vita3k tho
>>11500585Worse thing is the device itself.It's ugly and looks like a phone in a controller case. The glass on the front makes the whole thing look overly glossy and tacky.
>>11500592>>11500585Sounds like poorfag cope to me
>>11500592It looks pretty nice except for the shitty color options.
You know, I just got a new non refurbished phone with no contract for only 30 dollars and it can not only fill speed ds and psp games but it also has a 90hz panel. What a strange time to be alive.
>>11500598>Touchscreen controlsKill yourself.
>>11500595I have a steam deck but wanted something more portable. It disappointed me.
>>11500602Fits in my pocket, maybe you're just fat.
>>11500604Don't shame me, homo.
>He doesn't wear JNCO Jeans
>>11500606kek, sorry anon.
>>11500601>He thinks people still use touch screen controls on their phone.Nigger we've had non Bluetooth USB controllers for phones with zero latency for years now. Stop being dumb. 30 dollars for a device that can run psp at 3x without issues, that's good value.
>>11500612Then you aren't paying $30 retard. Controllers aren't free.
>>11500614This.All decent phone controllers seem pretty expensive.The cheap ones are all retarded abominations that try to look like a Switch or have some other stupid gimmick.
>>11500614I already had the controller, I had to buy a new phone because my old one broke and I didn't want to waste money on something fancy.
>>11500598Is it one of those snapdragon 700 series? Those chips are SUPER cheap now. Powkiddy's looking into it being their t618 replacement. >>11500616Give me your controller, and I'll gives ya an s10+, shartui dumbo, and a slice of homemade banana bread. No walnuts.
>>11500595>Pays over 200 for a 7 year old chipRetr*idfags make anbernic, miyoo and trimuiniggers look like geniuses
>>11500635Do you think chips are cheap anon?
>>11500643They are in UK.
>>11500628It is, yeah. I'm just shocked at how far 30 dollars can get you now for a fully fledged and capable terminal and web portal. 8 years ago, you were lucky if a 100 dollar entry level poor man's smart phone could load a YouTube video, yet now I feel like this thing can easily do whatever my 500 dollar phone could have done in terms of light gaming. It's like you're paying this huge absurd premium just to have access to ps2 and dolphin.
>>11500628I'm using the Razer kishi myself.
>>11500652My brother got a phone with odin 1 specs for free on one of those connectivity programs. They literally give these shits away because there's too much.
>>11500580Thing got rushed out the door 5 months too early. Did they even fix idle power draw yet?
>>11500658Suddenly every Indian and African child starving yet with a smartphone in their hand makes sense. Fucked world, truly.
>>115006693rd world doesn't get absurd deals on phones like you do, trust me.
>>11500567>No offense, but why would you buy that thing when the 35XX plus and the TrimUI Brick exist?OnionOS, that's it. Didn't research the alternatives at all. I just like open source shit and tinkering.
>>11500675>I bought a MM+ without researching at allSounds right
>Imagine defending a chink company that sells overpriced outdated hardware with awful QC and worse performance than $150 devices
>>11500678Meh, maybe I'm retarded, it's alright, not the end of the world. I still can play all the shit I want on it.
If I am only interested in PS1 and older (mostly gbc, gba, snes), which vertical chinkheld should i buy:MM+Anbernic RG35XX PlusTrimUI Brick
>>11500628>>11500656Make sure to keep your eyes open for the new MCON controller. I think its form factor will be revolutionary for phones.
>>11500696Anbernig 35xx+>>11500698Respect for that guy. He's making that controller for the sole purpose chinks will copy it for different phones sizes. This can change phone controllers forever.
>>11500690This hobby is built upon industrial level distribution of misinfo and tech illiterate word of mouth, you'd have to spend dozens of hours on research to make an informed decision and I'm not being hyperbolic. Miyoo's fine if outdated for a blind choice, could have done much worse.
>>11500696RGB20SX
I think I may be at or at least very near the end of this little CRT experiment. Boy I hope so, I'd like to stop tinkering and just play some fucking games already. Anyway, beyond a simple interpolation filter for reference, I started with the shader stack in column 2. I thought it looked pretty cool, for a slapped-together solution that can still run well on cheap chinkhelds. But transparency effects and dithering don't quite land properly, and of course Kawase Glow is a hambeast that blows out bright scenes, though it doesn't look too bad in these Genesis games. Column 3 was my initial attempt to reel in the glow; I used brighter games to test with, but coming back to this set of games showed how the attempt to dim Kawase also cost other games too much vibrancy. Which brings us to column 4, where I finally learned the right order for my shaders to bring convergence into the fold to improve pixel blending effects (yes it's blurrier, so were most of our old shitty television sets we got from Radio Shack and Crazy Gideon's, you'll get over it) and tightened up the picture to improve brightness in games like these, without completely blowing out bright games again (only mostly blown out now)
>>11500707Well it's not like I haven't done any googling when choosing MM+ over Brick or 35XX. It's just that I know for a fact, as an IT guy, that community around software (OnionOS in this case) matters A LOT. It means more community support, more emulators and software emerging, and overall tighter experience.Brick is powerful and can emulate PSP (poorly, it seems) and N64, sure. Does Brick have sticks thoughever? No. So how can I play Banjoo-Kazooie without sticks, or any PSP game that requires sticks?35XX+ - idk. What does it even have, except Bluetooth, to tower over MM+? I'm not defending MM+, I just see all these chinkhelds as diminishing returns. You cannot, really buy anything better than this, for 50$. So I prefer better software over stronger hardware. Maybe I'm misinformed. Would love to read another opinion.
>>11500681What $150 device is able to emulate switch?
>>11500724Here's the brighter stuff for comparison. Full bloom left, first brightness correction attempt middle, new brightness and convergence right. You can see how the right is definitely brighter than the middle, but manages to do it without losing any detail in comparison. Better colours too, I think.
>>11500732>35XX+ - idk. What does it even have, except Bluetooth, to tower over MM+?Knulli and MuOS
>>11500756Is it really better than OnionOS? In what way?
>>11500732They’re all the same shit for the most part. The 35xx and shart will yield better ps1/shaders but you probably don’t care about that. Some people also like portmaster.
My only problem with the RP5 is it just doesn’t feel good to hold.Just tried it with Gran Turismo 4 and it felt like shit.
>>11500696brick

Even though PS2 emulation is hard we got it pretty good with what we have. My pixel 8a phone can run PS2 games flawlessly. Touch only controls are shit and I don't like using my phone for gaming because it destroys the battery with enough time. This Pixel phone does seem to hold a charge a lot better than the old Samsung Galaxy 2 or even 5 but I dread having a phone with another destroyed battery. Everything's fine at first but after about 6 months to a year you're not walking far from an outlet for charging. It's okay if you're close to an outlet. Phones are for calling and texting. Yes despite being a boomer I know how to close out apps by bringing up all the windows at once. The battery's life expectancy just craters. I think this is why not many AAA experiences are popular on handheld phones and tablets. Capcom has proven that given the abysmal sales of RE games on the iPhone and iPad. Essentially perfect ports but with almost no one buying them.

I also recommend a USB charger with multiple outputs, maybe the Anker one or something but thats just a general useful thing to have at your setup.

I got an RP5 for PlayStation 2 and I'm getting random slowdowns in Summoner. Runs beautifully 75% of the time then even during what I wouldn't think were intense situations it chugs. Almost no difference between 0.5x to 2x resolution. Is it just because it's a poorly optimized early PS2 game or was I tricked and should have splashed out for an Odin 2?Unfortunately it's not a very popular game so I couldn't find much about performance tweaks for it.
>>11501095https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PXLW2_8CDkg
>>11501698its got a snapdragon 865 so i wouldn't think it's the hardware, probably something to do with the game or the emulator. find a retro handhelds discord and ask if someone with an Odin 2 can test it and see if they get similar problems in the same areas
>>11501698Have you tried the turnip drivers? Pretty much improves performance across the board.
>>11500696RG40XX V, you'll need the analog for dualshock PS1 games
>>11501774What about Ape Escape?
>>11501760Not seeing much in the way of drivers for AetherSX2. I'm I just an idiot for using the default PS2 emulator?
>>11501698Are you running in opengl or vulkan?
>>11501774>dualshock PS1 gamesThe only PS1 game to require dualshock is Ape Escape.Every other PS1 game is playable with just a D-Pad.
>>11501821So?I want to play Ape Escape! it's one of the best PS1 games, you buffoon!
>>11501814OpenGL. Doesn't Vulkan required a compatible desktop GPU?I also switched to Software for a bit and while it still dipped, it was only going down to mid-40s rather than high 20s. >>11501821Playable? Yes. Fully enjoyable? Not quite. I love my RG28XX, but the shoulder buttons hurt and you can really feel the lack of stick if you're doing 3D stuff. I was constantly thinking how much nicer Spyro would feel if I had a stick rather than micro-taping the D-Pad for fine course adjusting in Flight/Speedways, or those nightmarish minigames like sliding or Bently's Wack-a-Mole requiring you to precisely bonk the moles and not the Wizard-cats(?).
>>11501837Vulkan works on the majority of these handhelds lol
>>11501837>how much nicer Spyro would feel if I had a stick rather than micro-taping the D-Pad>He can't beat spyro with the d-padNever going to make it friend.
>>11501841Switched to Vulkan and still losing 20 FPS during camera moves in cutscenes between 2 whole characters.>>11501847Didn't say couldn't beat, 120% Spyro and Ripto and was working on the last ~30 eggs in Year of the Dragon when my RP5 showed up and I started scratching my PS2 itch.

>>11501698Can't blame you for thinking that, the reviewers and even a bunch of posters here keep parroting that RP5 is good for Ps2. You can play around with drivers and either the stock Aethersx2 or either of the nether builds, there can be a lot of gains found there for the games with random issues.I found about about 5 ps2 games on the RP5 with a few issues, graphical or not running at speed and then when switching to my Odin 2 the problems disappear.People bang on about hardware or software, but the simple truth is you have to go with a more expensive device for a worthwhile experience of the library.

>>11501960active cooling makes a big difference. Seems like no reviewers play a game longer than 15 minutes
>>11502942I bought an RGXX4V for GBA and GBC but I just love how GBA looks like on the TSP.
>>11503121I'm excited about the hacking potential of that thing. Imagine getting shit like Segasonic the Hedgehog on it.
Just bought an RGXX Plus as my first retro handheld. Is the current version of Knulli or muOS better or does it come down to preference?
>>11503105I mean, even any of the anbernig xx slophelds are better than that cheap flimsy trash.
>>11503320I use muOS because Knulli is very Linux-heavy and locks down the system from easy Windows access.
>>11503340>Knulli is very Linux-heavy and locks down the system from easy Windows access.You can use ftp to access the files easily https://winscp.net/eng/index.php
>>11503348Yeah, but that's kinda annoying.That's why I said...>easy Windows access
>>11503350But you only need internet, no need to deal with cables. That's a plus for me.
Getting a 3DS XL that runs red viper has changed my entire perspective on the virtual boy
>>11503398The glassless 3D doesn't work, mind you.
Russ said the glacier colored RG34XX is kino
Why exactly is this not allowed?
>>11503415Because latency + dpad on bottom + prohibitive price for a shit controller.
>>11503441It's wired so there's no latency plus on a phone you can actually enable runahead so it's less laggy than a chinkheldNEXT
>>11503445dpad on bottom + prohibitive price for a shit controller.
>>11497518I want retroid to make another flip, but with a better hinge and plastic that doesn't explode if you drop it.
>>11503415I'm afraid there's just somthing inheritly soulless about smartphones. I think they would look better if they were less tall
>>11503479The Razer Phone 1/2 were the only nice phones for this kind of thing. 16:9 screens, huge stereo speakers on either side. Such a shame they stopped making them.
>>11503406You are wrong
>>11503492I swear you anti-phone posters have some mental illness. I use my old iPhone XS Max in that same Kishi controller, and it looks exactly like your pic when playing 16:9 game. It's just that instead of the plastic phone bezel on both sides, it has a blank black OLED screen "bezel" on the sides. Which arguably looks even better.
I kind of want to buy a Powkiddy V10 or a RGB10X, but at the same time I'm holding out for the MagicX Zero 28 as an upgrade from my Anbernic RG28XX.
>>11502308Does dolphin not support linux? Didn't retroarch's PS2 emulator just get a huge improvement?
just set up emudeck it's amazing. portable xbox ps2 gamecube is just insane
>>11503415Not that it's not allowed, it's just less portable. Still portable, just not as portable as a singular device.
>>11503636i think he's referring to the lower end Linux retro devices, obviously pcsx2 and dolphin are available on x64 Linux all the time
>>11503415electronic devices should be mainly good at one or two things each. having books, music, videos, games, creative software, social media, etc on a single device is soulless and it's why everyone is so disconnected from reality and each other.so it doesnt count because its gay.
>>11503583There are already threads for you on /g/ -or- make a phone thread instead. You aren't entitled to this thread
>>11503696Im entitled to a girlfriend
>>11503712You're entitled to the goblin
>>11503712not with that font hack you're not
>>11497771Clear your overrides idiot
>>11500357At least you have an SD card reader. Mine got sucked into the ether during a bedroom cleaning and I have no idea where it is. If I want to transfer games from my PC to my RG353P I have to take the SD card out and put it on my phone. I can download roms from my own GDrive but since PS1 games usually come with track files I find it less of a hassle to just connect with the USB-C cable. But boy do I want that reader back.
>>11503813Just get a new one, you can get 'em for less than 10 bucks.
>>11501779Ape escape sucks.
>>11503872Perma ban this man, thirty days aren't enough.
>>11503881If it's so good why aren't they still making mainline games?
>>11503415tried one of these and the combined device is comically wide, and the controls aren't full size. gonna return it.
>>11503415I don't have a problem with these not being allowed my problem comes that most if not all demand you take your phone off your case.
>>11500724How much of your time did you waste with this?They all look like fucking shit. On a 3.5-4in screen just use zfast crt
>>11503886Because it finished dumbass

>>11500030He holds high viewership because his videos are made with decent quality, framing and setup which is far more than what can be said about other existing reviewers, he has an existing fanbase outside of chinkhelds and he's absolutely mastered the art of sounding like he knows what he's talking about despite not knowing anything.

>>11504012I think the trackball is cool if it can run mame games that need it
>>11504038There's also that sonic game that needs a trackball
>>11503996Kek, /fit/ poster as well?
>>11504038Yeah the trackball and paddle ("dial" or "knob" for you zoomers) is cool as fuck. Even the numpad is cool, although I'm not sure what I'd use it for. It would be great for weapon hotkeys in Doom, probably a bunch of stuff for other older PC games and even VNs. And I always LOVE a good disc d-pad not that I actually expect it to be a good one, but anything is possible. I think they killed it on the control side and made it really interesting, it's basically everything else like price, chip and OS options, audio and screen quality, etc that I'm more skeptical about.
>>11504038GIMME THAT OFFSHORE FISHING
>>11503415switch-like form factor is uncomfortable and battery usage is a concern if you're using your main phone, if the battery in a handheld runs out then you just stop playing and charge it, no big deal, if the battery in your phone runs out you lose calls, messaging and sometimes email access>inb4 just plug the charger and continue playing I also don't want to ruin my phone's battery health
>>11503348You don't even need WinSCP, just use your "Network" tab in Windows and you can connect directly to the system to drag and drop as long as it's turned on. WinSCP is only needed if you want to run the Terminal on your device as it's running.
I tried to buy an Anbernic handheld not too long ago.I don't really check my email that often, but I never got a delivery date estimate, so I decided to check and see if there are any updates.I saw picrel. and a different email from a couple days later saying my order was cancelled. Has anyone else tried buying from the actual website? I tried because it was a bit cheaper than Amazon, and they had an option to get a unit shipped from the US instead of China.
>>11504041>>11504109They failed to make it as utilizable as it could've been. Why didn't they learn from this design? They could put the paddle around the trackball for instance.https://16bitworld.com/new-atari-jaguar-controller-in-development/
>>11504458well fuck me. I just checked on Amazon, and it's got free shipping for a few days from now, and a protection plan. That means it's actually around the same price as the official website price, and I don't have to give pictures of my butthole and a spare key to my gun cabinet.

What apk do you guys use to get yuzu on your android machines?Im looking for Yuzu 1.0.2.
>>11504659Why do people like you feel a need to post when you clearly haven't followed anything happening with Android in the past 5 years? It was in 2020 or 2021 when they did a major rewrite of input handling in Android exactly to eliminate latency. You can test this easily with emulating GB and setting up runahead. With a wired controller, there will be zero latency. Stop repeating shit from the 2010s.
>>11504730looks really uncomfortable to use those joysticks.Is it even powerful enough for gamecube or PS2?I couldn't imagine playing through all of Twilight Princess on that thing.
>>11504823RK3566It'll never do PS2 or GC.
>>11503642>a phone is less portable than a phone and a second, bulkier deviceWhat?
RG 406H owners, how are you liking it?
>>11504838Then what's the point of the twinstick?just really need a choice on which stick to use in goldeneye? maybe it's for people who just can't imagine playing an NES game with an actual D-pad, and would rather pinch the corner of a square instead.
>>11504012>To being told in /hhg/ your console is fucking retardedwhoever said that was really stupid themselves
>>11504894also I just looked in the archived and there were only two thread made about the device which were going fine until a janny deleted them, and no posts of people in /hhg/ calling people "retarded" over it.I think you're the idiot janny who deleted those threads.

>>11504945My phone has a literal 4K OLED screen, I'll just stick to on emulating on that instead of a chinkheld, thanks.
>>11504954True, we should all start using our phones instead
>>11503996Based
>>11504954I’ve come to realise phone fags don’t even play games.They just come here to boast how their $500+ device has a better screen and cpu but then never post themselves playing on it.
>>11504982conch grips are bad and no one wants to admit it. that being said screen is a real reason to use phone, probably the only reason
>>11504954higher resolution just means worse performance
>>11504982There’s a reason tabletchads rarely post.
>>11505006My S24 Ultra is doing fine
>>11505030would be doing better with a lower resolutionwhat's the point of 4k on a tiny ass phone screen except for bigger number more betterer?

Is there a way to load up roms onto a GBA cardtridge and play a bunch of the games that way? What about the DS and the cartridges for that? Not asking for roms or any links to roms, just a way to load the games onto cartridges and play them that way.
>>11505389Yeah, it's called flashcards/flashcarts. For DS you have R4 or other equivalents and for GBA you have EZFlash and others.
>>11505391Thanks anon
>>11505395How did you even end up here not knowing what a flashcart is?
>>11503415Oh yes baby! THATs the stuff! The galileo g8 js better imo. Xbox controller feel.The bluetooth version is really good too. Chef's kiss. You may not like it but this is what peak telescopic controller looks like.
>>11503583Razer is dead to me after abandoning support for the v1.
>>11505159Idk i have two different versions of the v1 and they JUST stopped working one day. But other controllers work just fine. I wasnt able to update the firmware or anything because the app for them lost support. Must be nice. It was a goofy fit but i liked it.
Wake up brothers, Russ from Retro Game Corps has uploaded
>>11505403Basically i love pocket sized handhelds (clam shells) but I've read such mixed reviews with 3rd party retro handhelds that i just want to keep using my reliable SP and DSI, also I figured something probably existed but didn't know what it would be called.

>>11505450isnt he a confirmed bbc cuck?
What prompted you to post that? Where did you hear that?
>>11502063xperia play
>>11505545Yeah, images got leaked recently
>>11503415It is, as you can see the post hasn't been deleted, it's just looked down on by many, but that's fine, talk about it and people that are also interested will reply, and if someone complains, just ignore or talk to them about it, it's not a big deal really, anon.>>11503696In general smartphone posts make up few of the 500+ posts this general gets every time, it's not a big deal. Of course we could make a new thread, or a thread on /g/, but a new thread here would probably be very slow, and while /g/ is technology, lots of people there would probably talk about using these controllers for modern smartphone titles, and not emulation. A lot of people like both dedicated handhelds, and accessories/controllers like these, I don't see the harm in having it all on the same thread.>>11504982Not all of us, I play lots on my Galaxy Tab A8, a budget tablet from 2021 that I got used for cheap, it was a struggle to make it run PS1 with shaders, but it's working now, though anything more demanding than PS1 more often than not doesn't work, or runs poorly. I don't mind it though, as long as I can run NES, Master System, GB, GBC, Game Gear, SNES, Genesis, GBA and PS1, I'll be just fine, and this tablet runs them well even with shaders. Also, thank God IPEGA makes symmetrical controllers still, it's nice.
>>11505435They dropped support because they didn’t make the controller in the first place. They just put their branding on it. The Kishi v1 is a rebranded gamevice
>>11497176veryone worries about hinge longevity when it turns out these companies will invariably fuck up something that never had issues on their last three handhelds
There any cheap chinese boxes that can output composite and play GBA/GBC/GB games? I don't wanna get a gamecube, I've got a wii already. I know it's not authentic or w/e.
>>11505841Best I've got chief. It's not all that cheap, and the d-pad is so-so, but it's a funny little thing to mess with. I leik it desu.

I'm getting real sick of these kinds of cases being the only ones available for 99% of these devices. Is it too much to ask for a case that isn't twice the thickness of my handheld? I already carry my cables in a separate pack. What happened to neoprene pouches? Why isn't anyone following Anbernic's example by making slim leather cases?
>>11506894No case.No screen protector.Same pocket as your car keys.Let's fucking go.
>>11506894wrap them in a scarf or something like an albanian
>>11506894Cases are supposed to protect the screen from impact.
>>11506954And? The card deck case I used for my miyoo mini protected it from impacts just fine, and it's barely bigger than the device. Why can't the same be applied elsewhere?
>>11506985have you seen old vs. new car crashes before, anon
>>11506894>>11506985don't they have those custom cases on etsy or something, or is your complaint you want it to come with the devices?if later, c'mon, they are already cut-throat cheap priced for domestic chinks
>>11507002It's not that I want them to come with the devices, I just wish there was more third party variety. Aside from size, they're all exactly the same give or take a few exceptions.
>>11507004I don't like them personally since they are just the cheapest shit they can find and stink of Chinese factories, I had to air some out for weeks on the balcony. Though the newer ones don't stink as much.
>>11506894It would be nice if some of these handhelds had slidecovers like graphing calculators do.
>>11506935I don't even put that protective film phones, I hate the plastic feel versus the cool glass screen
>>11507004>I just wish there was more third party variety.Logistically that's impossible. The fact these have custom cases at all are crazy.
>>11504890PS1 games, driving games

China SAVED gaming. MIYOO saved gaming.
>>11507263>All these similar handheldsWhat's the point ?
>>11507337video games have no point, they are toys
>>11507335>MIYOO saved gaming.I'd argue Anbernic was the biggest contributor to retro handhelds becoming mainstream the past five years, love them or hate them. Miyoo just released one popular handheld among many other popular handhelds.Around the time of the Anbernic RG351 series and the Odroid Go Advance is when things really picked up in my opinion. The less popular TrimUI model S/Powkiddy A66 and Powkiddy V90 along with a dozen others released around that time, too. Before then it was really just things like the RS97, GCW Zero, and RPi zero cases.
>>11507359I should probably have mentioned this was basically RK3326 (RG351, GO Advance) which had a GPU, FOSS support and linux blobs vs. very weak and old e-waste ARM chips without GPUs (everything else).
>>11506870Looks good but it's a random apk from a random person, how can I know this won't turn my device into a nigger?
>>11507413it's fine, at worst it'll be China spyware
>>11507419How is China spyware fine? Are you a chink shill?
Anyone know of a battery replacement for the new 2DS? It's the best handheld ever made, except for the short battery life
>>11507423yer NSA spyware will just cancel it out, even steven
>>11507359RG35XX is just king right now.
>>11507426It's not safe to discuss N*nt3ndo products, sorry.

>>11507176The deck is enormous.
>>11507591t. tiny hobbit man
>>11506985Like hell it did, barely any thickness and the screen is right on the edges.
>>11507184If the OLED ever goes for $300 I'll pick it up. As it stands it's too big and expensive.
>>11507617You don't have to believe me but my miyoo is doing fine
>>11507580For under $40, ya
>>11507580The $10 you save isn't worth the d-pad and the hardware lottery.
>>11507627$400 new would be okay. $550 is a joke in 2025 for the hardware you're getting.
>>11507840>>11507840>>11507840MIGRATE
>>11507247Deck isn't retro
>>11506812It's a Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 from 2021, you can still buy it new I think, though you can get it used for a lot cheaper, it's current successor is the Samsung Galaxy Tab A9 Plus, which is a little larger, 11' screen, while this has a 10.5' screen, which to me is just a perfect size. It's not powerful, I'd go for the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6, S7, S8 or S9 if you want something this size that runs better, but as I've mentioned I can emulate up to PS1 with shaders just fine... anything more demanding though? It's hit or miss I guess.Also, this isn't a huge tablet, like those 13' or 14' ones, but it's not that small either, not all telescopic controllers will fit out of the box, most won't in fact, I'm using an IPEGA PG9083 for this reason, it just fits and works, I love this thing, and it was cheap too.
>>11497149The numpad and the ball are pretty dang cool.
