>>11507840So the flip is a flop then?
>>11507843It might end up slightly better than the 35XXSP
>>11507845What about the screen though? Also russ said the thumbsticks are like vita thumbsticks which to me are too tiny to be used for pretty much anything.
>>11507847It's a PS1 and under handheld.The sticks are good enough.
>>11507843>>11507845>>11507847The sticks are trash and the screen gets a halo effect twenty-fold worse than the RG28XX due to pressure against the back of the screen that can't fix remedied by loosening the screws.
>>11507849It runs dreamcast so no, they're not good enough.
Fuck! what's the cheapest 1080p 4:3 android handheld?
CLAMSHELLS ARE FOR CHILDREN. THEY LOOK AWKWARD IN THE HANDS OF ADULTS.
>>11507869>1080p 4:31440x1080 sounds like a weird resolution
Any RG35XX H killers?>inb4 'eckHave it.
>>11507879Okay, so here's my dilema.I'm playing SNES games at 960 x 720 which is a 240p integer, but my scanline shaders get fucked up like they're not aligning with the pixels.
Brickbros, is the dpad fatiguing or have you had no issues?
>>11507851Is it all the screens or typical chink lottery?
>>11507919Assuming it’s the same dpad from the shartpro, that dpad’s good for most platformers but shit for fighting games and spelunky.
I'm just going to wait for the Legion Go 2 to come out. It will be able to emulate everything up to and including PS3 (not retro at the moment but whatever) and that OLED screen will be amazing.

>>11508028Shut it, you gay homo.
>>11508019>35XX Plus > TrimUi BrickErm...
why does the MM+ have such a bad reputation here? every review and most discussions about it elsewhere make it sound like it is a great device for the price. OnionOS sounds very good too
>>11508028I do not like how they look on these chinkhelds most of the time but I like LCD grids
>>11508032Did I stutter?
>>11508039california?
>>11508034It's the tendie console of chinkhelds in that it's functional but every redditor into chinkhelds is only into this or the Analogue Pocket, while there are several chinkhelds out there that are the same thing but better or are just better. MM+ isn't bad, it just isn't the best and isn't really worth the praise.
>>11508016The Brick for the working sleep mode
which color Brick is the best?for me, it's purple

>>11508039Sticks on a vertislop look like absolute utter shit.
should i wait til chink new year to buy on aliexpress? are there usually sales then on chinkhelds?
>>11508127yes and yes but also keep in mind that your package will more than likely be delayed
I like vertislop for 4:3 though
>Russ said the Miyoo Mini will be more powerful than the Anbernig SP so it can play more N64 and DC games with the sticks>But apparently the screen is fucked up*sigh*I really want to pick up a clamshell this year but chinks just can't seem to get them right.
>>11508017>Minui out of NOWHERE>>11508059That’s horseshit. Redditors coomlect anbernic shit every 3 months. Helps anbernic releases new verticals in that time frame
>>11508157Why would you want to use a 3566 for dc and n64? You’re better off waiting for that x18s successor
>>11508157Can we talk about how Russ straight up lied and said the Miyoo Flip was the only 3566 device under $100?
>RP5 came in with clear green backplate>too retarded to get the original one offIt's over.
>>11508084It's such a sadness thinking you've masturbated on your fucking chinkheld. Get real.
ok I like minUI on my brick but I hate there no option to mark a game as favorite
>>11508158Some do but Miyoo is far and away their favorite and their first
>>11508161Nta but DC and N64 for that cheap is a decent deal. Waiting is no fun. >>11508167Yeah his "rk3566 devices are usually $100 to $150" comment activated my almonds too.
>>11508207No picking favorites!
>>11508084>>11508089>>11508198>>11508109Nietzsche said the strong man is made sick in a society that values conformity, mediocrity, and slave morality over rugged individualism. This is but another example of a sick man seeking an outlet for his natural creative, individualistic drive. Yet, without a sense of purpose, he is trapped in a kind of purgatory that exists within the chaos of the eternal struggle between Apollonian and Dionysian forces. His natural instincts to analyze, rationalize and understand are instead directed towards satisfying his most primal desires. He is captured by the coom-creativity cycle.
>>11508207this pretty much put me off of MinUI since I have full romsets for all cartridge based tendie/sega systems and it's a hassle trying to navigate to find one game I know I wanna play. you can actually just make a Favorites folder in each of your rom folders and have it that way but I don't think MinUI has a file manager so you'd have to do this on a computer every time you wanna favorite a game.
Why is every handheld flawed in some way that makes me consider something else? It's like they deliberately avoid making a perfect system so I'll never feel content with what I have.
>>11508336Retroid 2S
This thing for 20 bucks, yay or nay?
>>11508345Unplayably small screen, cramped form factor
>>11508353Meh
>>11508335Yeah, I'm going to keep it until something better comes out, I just installed it because the default OS was dogshit
>>11508358Plus it’s discontinued. Retroid’s done with that shell in general. The mini was always meant to be a replacement.
>>11508353i'd buy any of this shit for 20 bucks so yeah why not
>>11508427the shart pro is getting muOS soon so the brick having the same chipset will mean it'll either be compatible right out of the gate or it'll be available shortly after
sharty
>>11508431>replacement at twice the priceInflationbros, did our wages go up?
minUI lets you make custom playlists. its not as simple as marking as favorite from the system itself i think, but its there

Alright, I've gone about as far as I think I can go fiddling with this thing here, I can call this shader project a wrap for now. For the anon who asked last thread >>11501401 and for anyone else who might be interested, here you go:https://files.catbox.moe/7z51n2.zipThis was thrown together in Knulli, so these glslp files will be ready to go for anyone using that OS. They may work as-is on any fork of Batocera as well, if the file structure is the same). I'll have instructions on putting this together yourself in Retroarch in a follow-up post.What this isn't meant to be: the world's greatest, most accurate CRT shader for high-end PCs using 4K displaysWhat this IS meant to be: A passable non-integer CRT shader stack with curvature, bloom, and scanlines, comprised of common existing shaders that can be found on every Retroarch installation under the sun, and that causes as close to no performance impact as possible, all meant for budget PS1-and-below retro handhelds, especially with 480p screens. There are two versions; the composite version adds convergence for pixel blending and is the one in these screengrabs, the sharp version substitutes this with an interpolation filter for those who like CRT shaders but would rather they weren't so damn blurry. It has its weaknesses, but overall I like it, and I hope others will too.
Can you even auto-update minui or do you have to reflash the card every single time?
>>11508574The stack goes as follows, start from the top and then append in order:Blurs > kawase_glowMisc > image-adjustmentMisc > convergence (for pixel blending) OR interpolation > sharp-bilinear simple (for sharper image)Scanlines > osscCRT > zfast_crt_geo_svideoGo down to the shaders and make sure that the shader filter for convergence or sharp bilinear, whichever you choose, is set to Linear rather than Nearest. Then set the following parameters:Target Gamma 2.30Monitor Gamma 2.10Saturation 1.10Contrast 1.15Luminance 0.70Black Level 0.05Brightness Boost 0.15Scanline Amount 12.00Mask Effect Amount 0.15And if you're using the convergence shader, set these as well:Convergence Overall Strength 0.50Convergence Red Horiz 1.00Convergence Red Vert 0.00Convergence Green Horiz 1.00Convergence Green Vert 0.00Convergence Blue Horiz 1.00Convergence Blue Vert 0.00And lastly, hopefully, have fun!
>>11508587Oops, forgot the context for the image. The ossc scanline shader likes to set the image to integer scaling. To force it to non-integer fullscreen, save the shader file and then insert the following text right before the ossc shader.

Okay so we all know specs are constantly improving and that even powerful hardware might have issues with ps2, gamecube, saturn... So if you consider all that can run ps1, n64 and nintendo ds quite well (instead of focusing solely on the powerhouses that can imperfectly run the more demanding systems), which devices would you say are the closest to perfection in terms of form, durability, size, quality of the buttons, (lack of) heat generation, etc?
>>11508657RP4P is my favorite so far with RG35XXSP not far behind as a PS1 and down machine.

>>11508574This is unironically pretty close to how I like to run my NES games. I LIKE them blown out and bleeding a little. People talk about CRT "accuracy", I'm not interested in accuracy, I had a looot of really shitty CRTs over the year, my pops was an amateur electronics guy and would take peoples' broken ones and fix them so all my childhood TVs were someone else's busted up handmedown crap. And those gleaming blurry phosphers gleaming like jewels in a treasure box are closer to the feel that I remember and love spiritually than some autist with a ruler and a magnifying glass going over each pixel with a fine-tooth comb lisping UH AKSHUALLY THIS APERTURE GRILLE IS NOTHING LIKE THE SONY TRINITRON V4371ASSFUCK FROM 1998 RELEASED ONLY IN MALAYSIA.

This board usually loves to parrot Russ, and Russ loved the flip but people here hate it. Quick rundown on why this is?
Just got my retro handheld, guys
>false premiseThe QRD is get a trip so I can filter you.
So the flip is hated for no reason, got it. Didn't realize Anbernic shills have infiltrated this general.
>>11509497hell yeah, i bet silent hill looks killer on that
>>11508574>>11508587>>11508597UPDATE: The reason I provided a Knulli version, but only instructions for everyone not using Knulli, is because that's where I made this preset, and one of Knulli's quirks is that it REALLY doesn't like you messing with its internal folders. So if I tried saving this preset in the regular RA shaders folder, it would get deleted upon exiting my game. I had to navigate over to my SD card and save these presets there, meaning that the preset itself then has to refer to the internal storage and navigate to the shaders folder to use them. That's why those glsp files would only work with Knulli/Batocera. However, using the enormous power of my brain, I have determined that I can simply create these presets on literally any other device running Retroarch that DOESN'T automatically delete your files if you save them wrong, so now I have versions that should work on most any other Retroarch device, assuming your root shader folder has two subfolder that split GLSL and Slang shaders, and now no one has to spend the time piecing this thing together.So, if your handheld has Knulli installed, use thesehttps://files.catbox.moe/7z51n2.zipIf you're running Retroarch on anything else, use thesehttps://files.catbox.moe/nkmf4q.zip>>11509014I actually did have simple presets enabled on all of these, that's how they came out anyway.>>11509105Agreed. Nothing wrong with preferring it the other way, but I'll keep my slightly smudgy bloom shader, thank you very much>>11509127I hope you like it, anon.
>>11509191I noticed that the shader locations all start with "../../usr", I'm pretty sure those double periods are telling it to go up two folders, where it then redirects to the internal storage. Try making a shaders folder on the root of your SD card and putting them there, that should do the trick. Or edit it in a text editor and remove one set of the periods on each shader layer, so they all start with just "../usr".>>11509161You have to load it from your SD card. Make a shaders folder on the root of your card, then when you go to load your shader preset, you have to go up several directories from the RA shader folder all the way to the base directory which is just "/". Then go into the userdata folder, that's your SD card, then you can go into the shaders folder and load the preset from there. It's annoying, but if you like the shader and want to keep it, you can just set it as a core/content directory preset and it'll load itself just fine, so you won't have to keep navigating over every single time.

Single button on some of these.Must be an Apple design.
>>11509574Can someone give any actual reasons why the miyoo flip is bad? So far I've only got name calling and offtopic shitposting in response.
>>11509632He’s trying to say Anbernic has English shills here. All the big name chink companies do. Hell, powkiddy literally has an insider that posts about their upcoming handhelds here sometimes. That said, I would wait until the flip is around 55-60 before buying it if I were you. Rock mix is still fuckywucky and gamma is a meme
>>11509305That thing can't even do SFC despite looking like a SNES controller. Even my ancient Bitboy PocketGO can do some SNES without frameskip. What a cock tease!
>>11509632>>11509686Believe it or not, this general is a crucial asset for the chinese handheld industry. While the most populated discord server specialized in the hobby has an user count in the tens of thousands, our general is more selective and influential. Even our memes leak from time to time to the general public.
>>11509632If you had just looked at the thread you'd find >>11507851. If you looked at the last thread you'd see >>11497176. It has quality control issues, the thumbsticks are obviously not the best, and the only thing it really offers over the 35XX-SP is better performance on N64 and DC and I guess better PS1 controls if you want hand cramps for $20 more. You also don't have something like Knulli to use in terms of CFW. There's also no telling on the hinges on either of these things.It's not like the SP is without flaws either because even the revision uses really cheap fish paper to solve the heating issue, some people have poor seating on the screen forcing them push on the screen, and the start and select buttons are still very loud compared to them dampening the others.

>>11509632Calling you new for thinking anbernic shills are a recent phenomenon, you utterly obvious newfag.
>>11509385SF2000 has native composite out. Almost everything else is HDMI. The wireless controllers are great near-perfect SNES clones (SF900, not the weird ones with handles). It boots fast, has a great romset out of the box, doesn’t require tons if menus thay are impossible to read on a CRT, etc etc. It’s the only one out there like this other than it’s more or less brother/sister handhelds like the GB300. I have a Retroid 5 too, but getting that or a PC to output to a CRT at the right aspect ratio with synced controllers is so much more work and hassle.

>>11509750I think it’s just not out yet. I panic bought an extra SF2000 bc lots of Ali sellers seemed sold out and I thought it was going out of production, but instead it seems they were just between runs and the new firmware is coming out. I hope I can upgrade to the new firmware without losing saves, etc.
So I know this is a handheld focused general but i'm wanting to pick up an emulation console for my father, he's interested in emulation PSP & Dreamcast backwards but mainly just want to hook it up to his tv and play it through there rather than a handheld experience. I know some of the various handhelds are able to hooked up to a tv but i'd imagine he'd prefer something more console-like so I just thought I'd come here and ask for some suggestions for that, cheaper the better but my max is probably around £100.
>>11509816The chip is slow. If I'm getting a replica, it better have enough juice for preemptive frames/runahead.
>>11509832None of these sub $90 chinkhelds support runahead except maybe for NES and the original Game Boy
>>11509838Well aware. My point is, you're being reminded of something that it isn't.
>>11509829You rang?
>>11508109>>11508084
>>11509821How does it feel? I remember getting R35s; it feels cheap. I return back to the seller and get myself an RG35XX instead.
>>11508694>why dont the nips or gooks make some?-they can't violate copyrights like chinks do-they can't price shit lowest as chinks-if they made some, they'd pay chinks to make them anyway, and it would cost twice as they do now

>>11509802>Vertislopper sharing his favorite fetish with the class again
>>11509305This is the exact emulator list they've always have had, just the launch ones had shittier firmware. You can download the modern firmware from their website.
>>11509709For good reason, it feels fucking nothing like a SNES controller while the SF2000 does, it's amazing. I just wish they would make an updated version that could go up to DreamCast/N64 like the R36S.

>>11509696>>11509697I need it I need it I need itI just wish it came in the MagicX ZeroMini's colours, but the glacier blue one looks neat.
>>11509710shitty d-pad, botched bezels. It doesn't even feel like the same company made the SP
I was thinking about getting the retroid pocket mini. Do anons have any experience with these? How well do they work for psp or vita games if it can handle them? Would look at the online reviews, but it always seems every handheld device is better than sliced bread.
>>11509960>>11509812The bezel isn't botched. The screen is much larger on a body which is the same size, and the bezel is much thinner. The screen literally extends beyond the original bezel so there was no way to to put the original bezel on it.
>>11509973yer thumb sticking out half inch into the screen is a design flaw, yes
>>11509984Lose weight.
>>11509961If you want to play widescreen games like PSP and Vita, you'd probably be better off with the non-mini.Also vita3k is pretty buggy.
Wake up brothers Andre the TechDweeb has uploaded.
>>11509829Just get a used Dell USFF computer from eBay. PSP and Dreamcast should run just fine on an 8th gen or newer i5 with integrated graphics. PPSSPP and Redream. Then just get a wireless controller of your choice.
>>11509840Is this really that powerful? What is the “common name” for this HDMI stick?
>>11509852Depends on how you define “feel”. Feels similar to an original SNES controller quality and tactility wise. Very solid chassis, actually. People gripe about the low power chipset, but being low power means if you upgrade the 18650 battery (vape cell) you can get like 10 hours on a charge.
>>11509864Samsung phone+clip on controller would be closest to that.But yes, the implied copyright infringement is a turn off to Japan and 1st world Korea.
>>11509913Nope. This is newer than 1.71. Now will have native Atari 2600+7800, Game Gear, Master System (officially), NGP, TG16, and a couple others. Most interested about “smoother SFC”, if all non super fx run at full speed with no frameskip it will be just about perfect.
>>11509918Amen. Raw power is the only SF2000 drawback. Even the screen is underrated being that it’s true 240p instead of scaler slop.
>>11509961Get full size pocket 5. Not much bigger and screen is bigger even for 4:3 games
>>11509686Crazy how you can make a random claim with no evidence, and people will not only believe it, but ruin the thread perpetuating said baseless lie. Calling someone a chink shill over minor spelling mistakes is nothing new, but I’ve even seen a poster get called a chink because he called a Happy Meal toy a Happy Meal “Prize” instead, and apparently only chinks do that, even though they’re basically the same goddamn word. Zero proof for that claim btw, and why the fuck would chinks use an English word instead of a Chinese one?
>>11507840STOP buying chinkhelds you don't even play!
>>11510185I'm selling all the junk that I don't need/use
>>11510185Why no gp32?
>>11510185>Two GameSaarsBased, I also own two, for reasons I'd rather not go into.
>>11510185>caanoo and wizI wish I had the money at the time to get them while they were being made
>>11510116I think Wicked Gamer on YouTube is the only guy reviewing these
>>11507840Any dual screen handhelds?
>>11510240Yes, the DS, 2DS, 3DS, and Ayaneo Flip.
>price 60 dollars>+40 dollars shipping>+20 dollars taxI feel like there should always be a huge asterisk next to the price of these at least in eu. In reality every damn chinkheld is at least 2x the price advertised by youtube shills god damnit.
>>11510185what's the 3rd from the left on the bottom?
>>11510267It seems strange for us in Europe, but for Americans it's normal that prices are shown without tax and shipping.Also our sales tax is 20%-25%, for them it's like 5%-10%.
>about to use RK2023 again after so many months/over a year iirc>remove second card and put all games on the JelOS card because it has the space for it>says it needs to repair when it boots up and that there is corrupted data>repairs>all games and music wiped from the systemY-You too...
>>11510185I only have two because I accidentally stepped on one and now the Start button is iffy. Also it didn't run Mario Golf Advance.
>>11509973The curves and thickness are integral to the design, even the poverty clones got that right. It looks horrible.
>>11510397>It didn't run my favorite game>Also it had an accidentPerfidious.
>>11510413What can I say, anon? Don Me doesn't like it when things don't go to plan.
>>11510408I'd rather have a much larger screen than preserve le bezel curves
>>11510267this is why buying from amazon actually makes sense most of the time. the "savings" you get on aliexpress aren't real
>>11510465Amazon is also bound by EU law and I have 14 days to send back the device for a full refund.
Redpill me on the 40xxh
>>11509124Well, does that include us smartphone and tablet CHADS?
>>11510449And I'd rather have a larger GBA that didn't look like total shit.
>>11510614Yes, no more making fun of phonefriends.
>>11510582It's the best up-to-PS1 handheld on the market. It does everything right: horizontal form factor, 4:3 ratio, d-pad placement, buttons all feel good, big screen, flared triggers, dual sticks, flat and pocketable, comfy ergonomics, good selection of aftermarket OS options, full shader support. Only weakness is the cardinal snapping on the analog sticks, but MuOS and Knulli have already solved that.
>>11509710pointless compared to any other XX, you only buy this for the sole reason that you want the nostalgia from holding a gba-ish device.
>>11510582everything that other guy said, plus i own one and from a more abstract non-technical perspective it just feels absolutely great to play on and muOS in particular has a ton of themes that really help beautify it and if you don't like muOS then there are even more options. it really can't be beaten as far as upper-tier Linux handhelds go. anything better is gonna be in the shitdroid category in which case you'd be better off saving more for an AMDheld. but for 60 bucks you cant beat it.
>>11510185Damm yo're a oldfagWhich the big red one on the top? Look like mini CTR TV
I'm new to the space (don't own any handhelds not made by Nintendo) and the Retroid Pocket 5 seemed like a perfect fit until I saw that the ergos were shit and the stick placement was not how I wanted it to be. I'd go for the Anbernic 556 but the snapping joysticks are a deal breaker. Oh well. Guess I'm getting the Odin 2.
>>11510710It's at least less pointless than the XX-SP, which has the same limitations except that it's modeled after a version of the GBA that was universally acknowledged to have inferior ergonomics but was widely loved because of the lit screen and rechargeable battery... which literally every handheld has now, which means it has no advantages left. Anbernic and Miyoo should have known how dumb of an idea this was just by looking back at the pre-retro-handheld age, where the big thing everyone was doing was the AGB-101 mod, because we all wanted that backlit screen without having to put up with playing on an SP.
>>11510764the odin 2 is great, it's until today the best chinkheld I own
>>11510767the sp has the advantage of being ultra pocketable little square and no need for a case. Dumb ass
>>11510768at that price just buy a steam deck dumb ass
>>11510771back then I made my pros and cons list of both devices and the odin 2 won, there is not a single instance where I have thought that I should have gotten a steam deck instead
>>11510640I'm in then! Being nice to each other sounds good, though some banter is fine here and there I guess, we're all just having fun anyways. Cheers, anon.
>>11510767SP is a nostalgia beacon which is all these companies need in order to make money, so I guess it's not as pointless as you'd like to believe.
>>11510185Imagine the explosion.
I ordered an RG35XX plus off Aliexpress a couple days ago and now it says my account is disabled when I try to log inthese chinks better not have stole my money
>>11510267Are you buying from Aliexpress? Don’t buy from Amazon/eBay, you’ll get ripped off.
>>11510384STOP DOING THE REPAIR! This is why all you dumbasses think sd cards are bad, you are just fucking the formatting up when you let Windows do that shit. Always say “no” to repairing the card for a handheld, ALWAYS!
>>11510764The ergos are not shit on the RP5, dumbasses don’t understand how to hold it. It’s amazing, don’t buy that other dogshit.
>>11510135Sheeeesh
>>11510771Steam deck is kinda cringe. PC games are for PC and I don't want a big handheld like that.>>11510941I plan on playing games that require both sticks. As someone with medium-large hands it's a dealbreaker for me. Unless I can actually hold it without buying it to see for myself then I'm not buying it. It's a really impressive machine, I just don't feel like waiting for the ergos to improve with the RP6
>>11509703
>>11509703looks pretty cool
>>11510240Unfortunately no.
>>11509703>>11510981That's a tiny wheel you have there.
>>11511045there's a bigger one on the stick desu.
>>11511052If it needs niche peripherals to be usable, doesn't that defeat the purpose of a "handheld"?
>>11511045>>11511052Might as well just make a huge detachable "wheel" on the back of the device. Or move the trackball to the back/ halfway out of both sides.
>>11511052Honestly more excited for the joystick controller than the handheld itself
>>11511084>>11510981Ok, paddle around dpad, stick underneath. Trackball under the right side behind the buttons, operated by fingers.
>>11511092
Got my RG35XXSP finally. There's no real reason to swap from the stock OS is there? Also are the games that came on it the actual games or just some fucked up roms that'll break halfway through playing them?
How is bluetooth audio with Knulli on Anbernic devices?
>>11510939Tried, it said to press any button to stop it within 120 seconds, I pressed buttons and nothing happened, then let it do its thing since I didn't have a choice. Also the sd cards these ship with do actually suck, this was an isolated incident using a Samsung card that hasn't had any problems.
>>11510741>mini CTR TVthat's just a shitty android stick+LCD screen inset into a novelty TV moldthey used to make TVs that small tho
>>11511137MinUI gets rid of the one menu option that is literally useless and has better menu themes imo, also the games should be games but you're better off just downloading the ones you actually want.
What's a good place to get ROM packs? I've found some, but for most systems I'm ending up downloading games individually.
What are you playing on your RP5 bros?Im setting up OOT. Need to find out how to apply mods.
>>11511252Nothing, I just wanted to tinker with it.
>>11511017Holy shit i didn't know they made the WDS
>>11510384>>11510939yup. windows can't read ext4 partitions, or it could but just refuses to because microsoft are faggots. dunno why when linux can properly read ntfs, but anywho, don't let windows "repair" your shit because all it's doing is messing it up.
>>11510964My hands are bigger than yours and it’s fine. If you think otherwise, you’re holding it wrong.
>>11511185No, these stock cards are fine, I have like 6 handhelds running stock cards with no issues. 100% user error.
Looking to get a 512GB or 1TB MicroSD for my RP5.What are the best options?
>>11511467Just get a sandisk. They're the only ones that ever go on sale.
>>11511436Windows didn't do it, the RK2023 itself did. Also there are options to get Windows to recognize Linux cards like with Linux Reader and related programs.>>11511463Guess you're lucky then.
>>11511474Think I might just go with the Samsung 512GB.It's a little bit more but should be super decent.
>>11510868I only had an OG GBA so it holds no nostalgia for me.
>>11511467Sandisk and samsung for single cardsPNY for bulkThats how I do it at least
>>11509913Oh my god its that thing
What does SoC mean?
>>11510771Too big and the battery life is shit compared to the Odin 2.>b-b-b-but muh PS3/360Don't care about those systems since all their games are on PC anyways.
Man, I wish there was a way to show how good my shader looks in motion...
>>11511560Wish I could use it on my RG35XX but doesn’t seem to work. I open the SD shaders folder and they don’t show up. Anyways though, anyone have the latest version of the ES-DE APK
>>11511496And I never owned a GBC but you can see those clones still sell like hotcakes.
>>11511556>all their games are on PC anyways.Which can be played on the...come on anon, you can guess this one...
Just got my hands on the RG35XXSP (hate the name, but loving the system so far)This is a longshot, but does anyone know anything about actually building or porting a game to work on this thing?I'm trying to become a game developer, and I'm working without an engine right now. I think it'd be really cool to create a game that actually works on this thing.I tried just carrying over the executable, but it just gave a "Exec Format Error". I'm compiling on Linux, so I was hoping everything would just work out somewhat.
>>11511638just make a pico8 or gameboy game using GB studio and start there
>>11511595…the gaming PC, yes I know.
>trying to swap SSDs between LCD and OLED decks>get LCD apart and take SDD out>almost finish prying open the OLED when it suddenly boots on from me accidentally pressing the power button even though it's in battery storage mode>double check and yep, every time I put it into battery storage mode and it shuts down, I can just boot it right back up again no problem, unlike with the LCDFuck this. Now the plastic on my OLED is all shitty looking too from trying to pry it open Why the fuck do people act like this shit is a good idea. Fuck i hate youtube faggots
>>11511475>repairsIt was windows you dumdum. It saw a weird partition and in its wisdom decided to helpfully "fix" it for you even though it (and you) had no idea why it was like that.
>>11511137>There's no real reason to swap from the stock OS is there?I installed modded stock OS since i wanted to use a better sd card but its been fine so far, the sleep function works great which it doesn't on other cfw yet.
>>11511647You sure it isn't just failing to enter storage mode? Google says it's supposed to blink thrice.>Now the plastic on my OLED is all shitty looking too from trying to pry it openYou were supposed to use some very weak plastic and gently pry it, that's every electronic now unfortunately.
>>11511679Yeah idk i guess it was failing to actually enter the mode and there was nothing I could find anywhere about that problem happening so fuck it i put the lcd deck back together i don't need to swap them i just wanted to copy the OS and everything over but fuck it I'll just do it all all over again I just have to copy 100gb of roms and install emudeck and let it scrape thousands of the game preview videos again
>>11511679Oh and it's not actually noticeably fucked up once it's put back together unless you look extremely closeI used a strong guitar pick which is probably too strong a plastic but if it wasn't stronger than it it would struggle to get it open without bending or something But yeah fuck all that shit I'm not risking fucking anything up, the oled was especially hard to pry open too
>>11511697>I used a strong guitar pick which is probably too strong a plasticYep, your throwaway pick made of putty should get busted in the process rather than the shell. Bit of a pain to open my LCDeck with these, but it was worth it.
>>11511638It might be easier than you think https://portmaster.games/porting.html
Can this emulate Sega Saturn?
>>11511657No, it was literally the device itself. It appeared on the RK2023's screen, far away from my computer since I was nowhere near it at the time. Don't know how much more clear I need to be about that part.
>>11511838Shaturn stronk is a meme, even a RK3566 device can handle most games no problem.
would it be worth it to dust off my vita's screen or should I just buy a RK3566
>>11511835This is really pretty. I want a super small metal device with a premium build quality even if it has borderline unusable ergonomics but all of the current ones use shit chips. I'll wait for the next refresh.
>>11511901>but all of the current ones use shit chipsWhat are you going to play there? Shit chip means more battery life.
Oh I got a dhl shipment notification but didn't know what it was. Turns out the Ayn Odin 2 Portal is shipping. I should have it by this Friday. Excited.
>>11511835what game
Reset my RP5 and will set it up with ES-DE out of the box and see if I like it.
>>11511872>Look at a random video of 2gb ram 3566 device playing kinoturn>Shits itself not even a third way inRockshit losses again
>>11508034It was good when it came out, but it's been 2 years and you have a lot more options now.
>>11509105>are closer to the feel that I remember and love spirituallyYou seriously need to find something else in your life
>>11509465ifags don't know how to download apps, they only know how to "Get" apps from the app store
>>11509819>Wahhh, why won't the super secret 4chin club accept me?!!You can go back if you want
>>11511930looks like Dragon Quest Monsters for GBC
>>11511896if you only want to play 4th gen and below + ps1, then the vita is amazing. I love playing super metroid hacks on mine.
>>11509465You’re describing Linux chinkheldfags beltevertho
>>11512010It's a shame they couldn't get a N64 emulator to tap into the MIPS instruction set used for running PSP games while in Vita mode. The N64 emulator for PSP running in adrenaline runs better than the retroarch core on the Vita.If they could figure out how to use the psp instruction set while also having access to the vitas main processor, I bet someone could get N64 running well on the vitaI also wonder why no one figured out a twilight menu style system to boot psp and ps1 games from the Vita menu so you didn't have to boot into adrenaline to play them. Those changes would make the Vita a very good emulation device for 5th gen and back
>>11512021daedalus64 has been out since 2020, and while it's still kinda bad, it's better than the psp version.
>>11512021also you can use the adrenaline bubble manager to make native vita bubbles for psp/ps1 games, although that isn't as nice as just having a launcher.
>>11511868Oh I guess I wad the dumbass. To my defense windows "fixing" partitions is a common thing too. That said I wouldn't really trust these sd cards to really be of any decent quality either.
>>11512062Why isn't it better tho? The PSP MIPS stuff should be able to handle the graphics while the newer Vita chip can handle audio and other stuff like that
>>11512110afaik it's using only the vita processor, which is more powerful, but obviously leaving the psp cpu unused.
>>11511896Do both.
Is there a good way to make my android handheld have a psp ui?
DS sucks at emulation.
>>11512204YOU suck at emulation
>>11512204Gameyob is fine for GB and GBC, and GBARunner is also fine for most GBA games (and that one is not even emulation). In fact my DSi XL is my definitive GB/GBC machine.
>>11511927What backer number are you? I'm in the 900's and no shipping notice yet.
>>11512307How do I tell? I see a 1771 on my order ID. I got in during the early bird.
>>11512204>DS suckscould've just left it at that really, but at least the controls aren't total dogshit like on the 3ds
I'm not even trolling but if you're already spending that much, why not get a Steam Deck OLED instead of the Odin2 Portal?
>>11512319Clearly you've never used a DSi XL if you think "DS sucks"
>>11512071No that's fair, lot of people who don't know any better that let Windows ruin their devices or cards for them with the "repair" "function."
>>11511896>most used ps vita in 2025
>>11512316Go to your IGG user profile icon, my contributions, then view details link. ID #1771 sounds like a contribution number but it would be the latest one I've seen shipped so far.I was super early bird with super fan coupon, first hour of the campaign.
>>11512323I got the odin 2 on sale for $270 with free case and screen protector, at that price it's a good deal. The screen is 1080p (steamdeck is 1280 x 800)The cheapest steamdeck is $400I also wanted a lighter handheld, the odin 2 is 420g vs the steam decks 669g
>>11512323I have a 4090 desktop, plus a 3060 server I leave on 24/7. I'd rather have Android standby and efficiency with Moonlight for streaming anything x86 or heavyweight.Also, the Deck and most other handhelds are massive, hot, and have worse battery life. I used to buy GPD since the original pocket and Win 2, but moved to Android after I started streaming.
>>11512464I've recently been streaming via steam link on my odin 2 and it's really good, I plan on playing left 4 dead with some buddies tonight on it
Can the Miyoo Flip play Ape Escape?
>>11512549Stop talking about ape escape
Oh fuck yesMy Arcade is some of the most overpriced shit out there for how cheap the quality is, but this little Tetris keychain is fucking sick. Found it today at BestBuy for $20 while all the other My Arcade Tetris devices were like fucking $40. They had like six Tetris machines including a mini arcade unit like they do for Pac-Man and Street Fighter.
>>11512569Thats not a key chain. Thats too big
>>11512549You need Rape Escape
>>11512571It's just a little longer than the RG Nano's height by one inch.
>>11512576How did you know I'm from Sweden
>>11511561Be sure to use a video driver compatible with the shader type you want, either glsl or slang.
>>11512463$400 which gets you everything the Odin can do and more, plus it goes on sale around Thanksgiving since I got one for about $360. The only thing Odin does better is battery life.
>>11512710>The only thing Odin does better is battery life.And being smaller, lighter, and having a better resolution and refresh rate.I'd pick the Deck for playing PC games locally, but the Odin for an emulation and/or streaming handheld.
>>11512304>Dsi For GB and GBC, the game crashed or froze when I flipped it open. It happened to me when I was playing Pokémon Yellow, and for GBA Runner, the game ran fine, but the sound came out weird.
Real talk, what is GBARunners actual compatibility like? There are some pretty bad blemishes like M&L SS and I think one Pokemon game but shouldnt it be good most of the time?
>>11512809>GBARunnersIt Dogshit emulator
>>11512803Don't just close the lid when playing in Gameyob. If you must, make a save state and turn off the device before closing it. As for GBA Runner, it's admittedly far from perfect. Most games are fine, but quite a few have audio and/or graphics glitches.
>>11512815It's not an emulator you fucking moron. It's a hypervisor. So it's more like a VM.>>11512809Just check the compatibility list. Use Google to find it. Most games are indeed fine. It's certainly good enough for me that I don't feel the need to get a chinkheld for GBA games.
>>11512840I couldnt find one for GBARunner3
>>11512841I didn't even know that existed. ML SS is the only game that I was interested in and didn't work with GBARunner 2. Sounds like it still doesn't work with 3. If I run into any game that doesn't work well with 2 and I want to play it, I will check it out.
>>11512456Sorry I don't see any other numbers on my contributions page. But looks like I was also super early bird.
>>11512569That looks cute. Show us with it turned on.
why the fuck can Miyoo not include a goddamn resistor in the flip if they had one in the v4?
>>11512837Yeah, I'm going to stick with the Chinese handhelds thank you very much.
>>11512918ching chong wing won too mach manny
>>11512918no resistor no buy, chang
Was it any good?
>>11512949no, it was mogged by the a320 in every way. what a gorgeous device that was.
>>11511457I'll take your word for it. I've decided on the Odin 2
>>11512954The a320 had worse performance that was only ALMOST acceptable with dingux but still shit
>>11512982Can you get me an Odin 2 too?
How did you guys create your ROM libraries? I've only found complete ROM packs for a handful of systems. Otherwise every archive requires you to download every single ROM manually and it's super tedious. There has to be a better way to do thispls spoonfeed
>>11512997Google Cylum's ROM Collection and see which systems are you interested in
>>11513001God bless you anon
>>11512996Sent :)>>11512997I mostly like romhacks and specific games so I usually get them one by one off CDR, but I did get a shitload of roms I kept from one of my chinkhelds' sd cards.
>>11512569So, the d-pad sucks even for a My Arcade device.None of the 11 games, including Tetris itself, fit the screen and have missing lines to scrunch everything to fit.To make it worse, it's a version of Tetris where the blocks INSTANTLY lock into place upon touching anything, you can't rotate or move to wedge them into place like in proper Tetris games at all.The screen not matching the resolution does make the Tetris blocks have a funky, neat unintended wobbly effect as they fall tho.
>>11513008>but I did get a shitload of roms I kept from one of my chinkhelds' sd cardsand they work? I'm wary of relying on a purchased chinkheld's card
>>11513008what's CDR?I'm a newfag to emulation. I've been using vimm
>>11513010jesus
>>11513026cdromance

What the best android handheld for the price?
>>11513060RP Pro 4
>>11513060RP2S or RP4 Pro for best performance to price ratio in their respective areas. RP5 for premium features and dual boot.
>>11513060odin 2 or RP5. anything less than a snapdragon 865 will only partially support 6th gen consoles and with the larger form factor of those devices there's practically zero advantage to owning one over a higher end android or a cheapo Linuxheld. so go with one of those two or go bigger with a rog ally or a deck or some other non-ARM device.
>>11513071The 2s is discontinued.
>>11513060Odin 2. RP5 is good but it's glass front breaks too easily.
The speakers on your $400+ handheld, good sir:https://youtu.be/X8AC3c6PZmM?t=136
>>11513060X28. Dreamcast and arcade are the only 6th gen systems you want on android
>>11513076Is it actually discontinued? I thought it was only temporarily out of stock.
>>11513057amazon, they still have them listed. search "batocera drive". a lot of it is trash like C64, but I don't think there are any duplicates.
>>11513083>it's glass front breaks too easilyHow many broken RP5s have you actually seen?
>>11513060RG405M
>>11513092All it takes is one.>there are shit flavored skittles? well how many are in each bag? heh gottem
>>11513084lol that's terrible
>>11513095If the glass front was as fragile as you fags fearmonger and doompost it is, there would be multiple reports of cracked RP5s online. Yet there aren't.
>>11513087Retroid’s done with the shell after perfecting it.
>>11513050Ape Escape 3
>>11513101Yeah I guess if you don't look anything up you can just pretend it never happens. Now drop yours on its side on a hardwood floor and tell us how it goes. Inb4 "dude just don't ever accidentally drop it"
>>11513129I'm still surprised when my cat knocked my og RG35XX from a four foot drop onto a hardwood floor, not only did the screen not explode from the device and still worked flawlessly, but the ONLY scratch at all was the plastic stress where it landed on the top left corner.I've had Nintendo hardware not survive that shit.
>>11513092irl? none. Online? Enough to be concerning. The aesthetic of the RP4 pro is better anyway
>>11513220>The aesthetic of the RP4 pro is better anywayNice matte plastic is better than a glass front but I also like my handhelds to be ergonomic without having to shell out extra for a grip. Retroid devices were long overdue for dropping the brick shape.
>>11513151I was preparing to give my RK2023 away and accidentally dropped it a couple feet onto a tile floor, screen popped out and that was the final straw for me so now it's in the trash. RG35XXSP already replaced it in my heart so after the memory wipe debacle, I'm not sad to see it go. Sorry powchaddies.
Which of these can play PS3 games with no compromises?
>>11513261rog ally x
>>11513231Nta and I agree but the RP4P is more pocketable and that's what I prefer in a chinkheld.
I finally ordered one of these and the wait is killing me. Will it be cool and great or a total piece of garbage?
>>11513287which one
>>11513292Trimui Brick. Interested in SNES and below for consoles, GBA and below for handhelds. Right now I'm stuck on a Game Boy Color, which I love, but can't play most of the time due to lighting.
>>11513231>RP5>ergonomicthe bumps in the back make it worse due to the side of the handheld and the placement of the joysticks
>>11513297It feels almost exactly like holding my Powchaddy X28 and I loved that thing aside from the major software and stick flaws.

Blog post time:Currently own: Odin 2 and Retroid Pocket 2SOdin 2 has a touchscreen issue where it goes nuts randomly. Paid AYN 75 bucks to send me another panel, which should get here in a million years, so I'm gonna swap it out and see what happens.Touch screen issue isn't a problem when emulating, but it's annoying for a multi-hundred dollar device.Considering getting a Steam Deck OLED to replace the Odin 2, and then a Retroid Pocket Mini to replace the 2S. Would sell the Odin 2 and give the RP2S to a friend. Seems like a decent upgrade all around. Love the RP2S, but I really want that "Pocket Gamecube/PS2" and the RPMini seems to fit the bill. Though I've seen people complain about the button noise and screen size. Though the RP2S's 3.5" is honestly fine for me as a pocketable device. Also not a huge fan of the Odin 2 ergonomics. It's not BAD but it's not as good as holding an actual controller, so I think if I'm gonna be playing a ton of longer games then the Steam Deck might be more ergonomic. Also really want to play Caves of Qud while traveling.
>>11511116TAKE MY GODDAMN MONEY
>>11509961I loved my 2S. I was very happy to have chosen it for my first handheld. I just got my RP5 and have had it for about three days.The mini doesn't look worth it. The 2S's screen was totally fine, but I would not want to play sixth gen on it. You also have the power to play some stuff that's not retro, but you really can't because of that aspect ratio.Those buttons look very uncomfortable. The RP5 has a plastic pad around the buttons like the Vita did, and I feel like it wouldn't be pleasant to feel glass under my fingers instead of that. Plus, it's going to smudge even more without it. The start, select, home, and function buttons are raised on the RP5. That doesn't seem to be the case with the Mini, and those buttons were the one thing I just did not like about the 2S where they were the same.Get the black RP5 and the aspect ratio, the only real arguable plus for the Mini besides size, won't even matter. The unused screen space really does just disappear unless you're playing in direct sunlight. It's pretty cool.
>>11513420>>11513423horrible advice
>>11513295Yeah, it's good, I own one and it's a little too small for my tastes but it's pretty solid overall
>>11513324The concept of a cute little gaming handheld they can fit in their purse is appealing to them.

>>11513429Unless Mini is substantially more powerful, I'd sooner recommend RP4P for GC and PS2. Black bars on either side are easy to get used to and you have the option to use widescreen patches, plus some Wii and Switch games work on it too. It's the size of your cell phone so it's plenty pocketable with the shoulder buttons pointed behind you. That said, Mini is probably better if you really just want that 4:3 screen and not a wide screen. >button noiseMeme. Almost every time, and I wish I was joking, but almost every time button noise is brought up as a negative it's "when I'm gaming in bed next to my wife" as if the losers buying this shit en masse will ever have that problem.

>>11513506Here's this https://www.youtube.com/live/kmNKF-rHjN4?si=X6LoGZvQtlVzQbDI (Dissidia...fucking lol) or any other video you can find by searching "rg35xx(whatever) n64"If you're interested in DC, GC, PS2, PSP, or more then look somewhere else. Saturn and the more intensive N64 games are too much for it and whatever emulator it's using for NDS is annoying to work with but the games do work as far as I've seen, which is very anecdotal. It peaks at about PS1 and some N64 for the most part, even if it can play some DC or whatever you're looking at about 5 to 10 minutes before it starts heating up and you have to let it sit for a while or just not play those. Dicking around with the SP right now: GoldenEye has audio stutters, Banjo seems to work fine (not touching 2), Kirby has mild stutters but is playable, Mario Tennis won't start, Ocarina seems to work fine.
>>11513467And yours is?
>>11512997From my pre-existing knowledge of games and the /v/ wiki of recommended games, picking only the ones I have an interest on, using vimms lair and cdromance, converting each file to the best format and also naming each game correctly (Why the fuck would you use USA, JAPAN, WORLD etc when you can just use the first capital letter and changi translated roms names etc) fwere the most tedious parts.
>>11512919You do you. I find that the build quality and the huge chunky pixels on the 1:1 screen of the DSi XL keep me coming back to it. If you have any other DS model though, a chinkheld will be better in every way.

Why does this general hate on the FPGBC so much? The difference in clock speed is not greater than what you get with emulators which also aren't perfect, and it's not perceptible for humans.
>>11513796Ok but then i would just use an emulator and not a gameboyThe whole point of fpga is accuracy, i dont want half measures.
>>11513797You still get zero lag, which is a huge improvement over cheap chinkhelds that don't have runahead
My RG SP won't take a charge anymore, any tips? Connected to PC, unplugged battery and plugged it back in, tried several different cords, nothing works.
>>11513794Yep
>>11513816Only android chinkhelds have lag.
>>11513831Holy shit you're clueless. Android USED to have ADDITIONAL lag over the emulation lag YEARS ago. That's not even the case since Android 11. But regardless of all that, emulators ALWAYS HAVE LAG on all platforms unless you can use runahead, why the fuck do you think runahead was introduced?>it's these fucking retards giving their shit opinions in these threads about what device to get
>>11513836My condolences on your chances of ever getting laid.
>>11513506Bad. If something runs, it'll be with botched lighting/shading and stutters. SM64 port runs fine if you disable HD textures, OoT's dips a bit and becomes unplayable at certain points late into the game from what I heard.>>11513824Flash a different card to test it, if your OS is missing/faulty it won't turn on and I imagine that extends to charging.
>>11513907charging shouldn't have anything to do with the os but who knows what these chinks are capable of
>>11513918From what I understand the average Linux chinkheld relies entirely on the card, it's a brick otherwise.
>play emulated game on my android device>press button>no perceivable lag whatsoeverthank god Im not so autistic I freak out over milliseconds or whatever
>>11513940We pokemon enjoyers triumph once again.
>>11513907Thanks but that didn't do anything either, guess the barely used battery is just chinked.
>>11513940Please tell us you ain't that guy from earlier still steaming over a light jab
Chinkheld fans when they find out their cheap chinese crap is cheap chinese crap: wtf why isn't my chinkheld perfect in every way and working?
>>11513940On modern Android (11+) with a wired controller, and with runahead enabled, it's expected to not have any latency. Without runahead, there is some latency, but you have to be really autistic to be able to notice it. (I can, but only if I concentrate very hard on this one thing, not really during normal gameplay.)>>11513958No that's me
>>11514000I notice it but mostly only in 2D games, a lot of 3D games have enough slower animations that it isn't as noticeable.
>>11514002I'm sure there are some innate differences here. I don't notice PWM on OLED screens even at their lowest brightness, but a lot of people complain about it.
Seriously, just buy a flash cart for your actual game boys....you do have one of each game boy model, right anon...?
>>11513060>VerticalAnbernic RG406V or 405V if you want to save money and don't care about GC, PS2 and good sticks>Horizontal Retroid Pocket 5 or RP4Pro
>>11512997I just make lists of games I want to play for each system and download the ROMs one by one, this way I save space and only have games that I enjoy on my chinkheld. That said, i fucked up my RG406V's order and they threw in a 128GB card with a crapton of games on it, the card quality is probably terrible, some dumps are weird (Contra III being way more generous with high score lives, Contra NES starting you with the M or S when you die). However it made me discover or rediscover a ton of cool shmups (Armed Police Batrider, Battle Bakraid, Battle Garegga, Soukyugurentai, Dimahoo, the Raiden Series, Dodonpachi, Dangun Feveron/Fever SOS, Metal Black, Ikaruga, etc.)
>>11513506Don't bother.
>>11514141Everything except the Game Boy Light. I kind of want one, but they are cost prohibitive for what would just be a shelf warming handheld. BTW: GBC with OLED screen mod > Chromatic > Analogue Pocket, in my opinion. The Chromatic has a screen that is more authentic to the original, but the motion clarity of the OLED screen mod is like night and day. The Analogue Pocket is the worst of the three, having worse motion clarity than the OLED or Chromatic, while not offering the more authentic screen of the Chromatic. Though the Pocket does have other advantages in versatility and functionality.
>>11514141That's how I know they're unplayable.
What are my options for playing Final Fantasy 7 in 16:9?Would it be modable?
>>11514223My problem with all those IPS or OLED screen mods is that GBC and GBA games have completely wrong colours on them. At least emulator offer a colour correction option.>>11514230Filtered hard.
>>11514284Damn right am I, queerlector. I don't know how I put up with this stiff d-pad growing up.

>>11509305Looks better than a certain other console announced today imo
Oh no, the frogmania is making a comeback. Quick, bring me the flamethrower.
>>11514284>My problem with all those IPS or OLED screen mods is that GBC and GBA games have completely wrong colours on them. At least emulator offer a colour correction option.I think that's a fool's errand. To begin with, the original GBC screen was reflective, so colors are going to look differently in different lighting conditions. Second to that, there are numerous official ways to play GBC and GBA games. The GBA isn't going to look the same as the GBC, and it's not going to look the same as the SP AGS-001, which won't look the same as the AGS-101, which won't look the same as the Micro.
Why is no one talking about the datafrog

>>11514673>>11514696why the fuck would anyone want this? sounds like bloat nightmare
>>11514696It has Android support, you can find poverty tablets with it.>>11514741He actually debloated it hard and put a lot of work into making it completely operable with buttons, but even with a high quality card it'll drag like a cheap Android TV stick on 1GB would. When he puts all this into work into real Android chinkhelds, however, it'll be a game changer.
>>11514696It was used for tablets in the first place like how 3566 chips were first used in android tv boxes
>troonheldsTake the tv stick pill.
>>11515167These are shit for emulation though? If you’re going to go that route get a mini pc and install bactocera
As a GBA giga autist, this thing is incredible, plain and simple. It passed all of my autistic scrutinization tests very easilly. Low input lag, great screen, looks and feels like the real deal which means original GBA ergonomics, while having a rechargeable battery, and much louder speakers and bigger screen. People have been talking shit about the D-pad, but it's about as "bad" as the original, which means great for GBA games. This is the real deal.It sucks for anything else, but I mostly play GBA and GB/C so this is fucking perfection for me.
>>11515323Except they aren't? The only problem I ever had was the sound didn't work and all I had to do to fix that was turn the tv and controller off then on again. It's also more honest than transhelds because we all know you only play them in the living room or man cave at home so why not just have it on the telly?
>>11515340It can scale pokemon mini perfectly if you're into that
>>11515420Wow this looks fucking terrible this large and kills the entire charm of even playing the Pokemon Mini titles.
>>11513794Clamsovl can have all the positives of grip ergos and screen height, with added angle adjustability. It's the ultimate form.
>>11515167I have a competent PC and a Steam Link. I still want something I can hold and play in any room.The DS3 is the weirdest controller to rip off for that thing.

>>11515432Fuck you
I installed Knulli on my RG35XXSP, and I'm having issue with the image scraper when it comes to my PS1 games. I might have this shit ass backwards, but the scrapper pulled the images into the folders, so how do I associate those images with my games? This is what my folder looks like.
>>11515432>Wow this looks fucking terrible this large and kills the entire charmSpoken like someone who plays retro handheld games on larger screens than they were intended and doesn't see his own hypocrisy
>>11515508just stop and select from a list, menu autisting isn't worth it
>>11515509I remember Analogue Pocket fans gloating that their screen and res is bigger than that of Chromatic, which is 1:1
>>11515420What the fuck is this and how do I play it?
>>11515531Pokémon Breeder Mini. It's basically a virtual pet sim where you raise one of the three Hoenn starters. You should find it if you google the english translation. Then you just need a Pokémon Mini emulator on your device of choice
>>11515518That's because it's a 10x perfect integer upscale which is different from blowing it up to a screen 10x its size, not that you're smart enough to understand that since you'd rather sit there on your high horse and make disingenuous arguments about shit you know nothing about.

How should this file be named? The game's title is "Star Ocean: First Departure" When I first downloaded it, it was full of underscores and I wanted to clean it up but now the game isn't recognized as being "Star Ocean: First Departure" How do you handle rom names that have unique characters like a colon?
>>11515537Bro it don't fucking matter both the mini and GBA are 3:2 aspect ratio
>>11515552Isn't recognized by what? If you mean preview images then either skip it or name the image manually and make it the same as the game file.
>>11515508Refresh your Gamelist and it will have automatically associated the images to it. There's no manual tinkering required from your end unless you want to put in your own images or manually edit titles/descriptions.
>>11515167I have one of these, had trouble adding games (apparently I might need a new SD card for it) but aside from that it works pretty well
>>11509385Deck is in a completely different category. Like comparing a laptop to your Game Boy
>>11515568You sure? Because the game was originally titled this, and it wasn't scraping any art for it.
>>11515582If you changed the name after the fact then go into Images/Video and change the name of the file, then go into gameslist.xml and Ctrl+F the original file name to swap the file name. Otherwise just scrape it again. The thing doesn't magically know you changed a filename on it, it's still pointing the original filename images to the original rom.
>>11515572I heard it bricks if you 0ut in a different sd card or try to add games to its sd card.

How do you guys make your chinkhelds into pc controllers? I downloaded the PC Remote app but I have to manually set up a touchscreen controller, set which keyboard button each touch button links to, then use the overlay to set each touch button to the handheld's buttons. That's like 2 layers of lag and 3 degrees of tedium.

MY FUCKING FLIP 5 Z EFFECTIVELY DIED TODAYI don't know what fucking happened. IT WAS FINE. Then this afternoon I opened it to check Pokemon Go and there was a MASSIVE fucking black bleeding pixels smear right through the middle with the bottom half of the screen flickering yellow, touch controls unresponsive. I hard reset the device to see if I could at least get the touch screen to work and the pixels bled fucking throughout the top and bottom half. I'm losing my fucking shit because it's a $2400 phone with a two year plan at $120 a month and a $400 downpayment, and it lasted sixteen fucking months before instantly turning to shit.It's past the one year warranty, costs $800 after taxes to replace the screen locally and due to the nature of the screen would likely need a need screen annually at that $800 cost not including prices going up as screens become harder to keep in stock.tl;dr despite the novelty, NEVER FUCKING BUY A FUCKING FOLD SCREEN DEVICE
