So I'm really fucked out of this hobby if I don't buy in the next month? i have an Odin 2 which gets ample use but if it craps out am I just fucked? I don't want to spend >$500 on a chinkheld

I got an Odin 2 Pro, would almost consider switching if the Portal had a substantial chip upgrade and they shipped a clear purple version as well.

Well maybe I wouldn't because it would still be pretty retarded to "upgrade", but I would be envious of the bigger screen
>>
>>11687249
The Odin 2 should at least be easy enough to repair when it comes to things like the battery potentially crapping out. That and there's bound to be ways for cheap aliexpress chinkhelds to still make their way over to North America.

Is there any decent PSP 2000 shell replacement? All the ones I see on Ali seem to be shit.

No, they're all crap quality and fit poorly. If you can get away with replacing the faceplate only, do that.

All my handheld troubles went away once i got a Rog Ally X.

At the RP5's level, either works. Linux is only notable there for Xbox so go Linux if you want that.

I sold mine back in the day for a vita because I had a hacked PSP
It was also my early linux and emufag days so I loved that aspect especially.
Plus the fact that it was a dingoo successor which I desperately wanted but could never get at the time. I must have watched that ashens video like 100 times.
I'm glad 'nig gave us essentially the final form of the GCW zero and a320 with the 350M and 300x.
OpenDingux is dead sadly but it's essentially a complete kernel. Not much more can be done with the MIPS devices.
hacky non-accurate emulation for snes and ps1 but that kinda adds to the 2010's handheld kino

I still have my GCW but haven't touched it in years, a couple chinkhelds in and now it's just a fond memory.

If you're talking about that Hitman footage, I'd chalk that up to either the game originally just running like shit, or some weird user error on anbernig's part before collecting the footage. It's running Pii U games so very likely SD8G2 imo. I'm pretty sure I read that was the chip they were targeting a while back for their 7th gen, anyways.

I don't understand how you guys get into the habit of buying 10+ of these things. That's such a comically large part of retro handheld culture, I just expected there to be a better reason to do that. Is it retail therapy? What reason do you have to own more than one midrange retro handheld? Retro handhelds sitting unplayed on a shelf are no better than funko pops.

I still think its purposefully done to make it difficult to get new parts.

Denying facts doesn't mean they don't play games. Just means handhelds cause brain damage.

I find it really hard to believe Retroid could overlook one of the most basic fucking things you try to avoid with a clamshell device. There's no way their engineers are somehow more retarded than Powkiddy's.

The second one was probably fixed, but I can't find any info
>>
>>11688984
At this point its hard to argue in good will for Retroid's engineers. Some of them know what they're doing with projects like the RP5, but then there were the people that worked on the Mini and contributed to one of the most nonsensical design decisions ever by covering up their 1:1 screen to pass it off as a 4:3 OLED.
>>
>>11688947
Nope, just a normal hex key. I even went light on turning it too. I'm thinking of heating up the end of a hot glue stick and pressing it into each gap just to stabilize it and fill in any open spaces because the super glue is not doing the job on one of them. I'm scared as soon as I try threading the thing it'll just snap off. I'm just worried about demagnetizing the hinge so I'm going to do it as far away from the magnets as possible.
>>
>>11688996
Couldn't they fulfill a mest niche with a powerful 1:1? Wasn't that what the hawk supposed to be? Wtf is wrong with them?
>>
>>11688947
>>11689009
Oh, you asked the color too. I went transparent white. I know transparent ones are more brittle than the solid plastics but this is pretty nuts. I also tried hot glue but it's impossible to get to work with the mobo holes so I'm just gonna sit on the super glue for 24 hours, screw it in, and whether it works or not never open it again. The main issue is that because both bottom pegs are ripped off I cannot have a seal on anything but the top half of the system.
>>

What is mest
>>
>>11689081
if you have the time plastic cement for model kits might work
>>
>>11689093
We'll see the stability tomorrow. Worst case scenario I have to super glue the case itself shut and plug up the holes considering there's no way to reshell this and it's not worth the money to buy another one when a new one is coming soon-ish.

>Was your SP exposed to sunlight?
Nope, it's been entirely in a shaded location the entire time I'm not using it, and I don't use it near open sunlight personally. Pretty sure I just got unlucky because the bottom-left of the device was never 100% flush since I got it so it was probably just barely assembled and sent to me.

They probably got cold feet when they saw discussion after discussion of people clamoring for a mythical 4:3 OLED device and a lack of interest on 1:1 screens from the masses. So they hid away part of the panel and relied on programming tricks in the hopes that nobody would ever realize what they did.
It's still extremely stupid either way, because it would have killed so many devices on the market. It would have easily killed the RGB30/20SX, it would have killed both RG Cubes, it would have even killed Ayaneo's pocket DMG by having the same screen while being in a more practical form factor and equally reasonable specs for emulation.
>>
>>11688492
For real though. $25 hardmod, sticks, and I think they have an OLED mod now?
I never actually assessed how powerful a Switch Lite is versus the high end chinkhelds but it might be the way to go.

Seems you can reliably overclock the Lite to run comparable to docked Switch. The system can output 1080p as well (Hyrule Warriors does despite 720p hardware for some reason) so there's potential for a 1080p OLED mod if its not that already
>>
>>11689251
The thing is when Retroid gets a handheld right, it's better than everything else that is in the market at the moment. The 2S was the best handheld at its price point without a doubt. The 3+ was amazing for its time. Even the RP5 is good aside from if you hate the glass front but it didn't have any glaring flaws. They just constantly squander their goodwill by fucking up something afterwards.
>>
So the best combo is SF-2000, an Anbernig RG35series, and then either a TrimUI or Retroid?
>>

Sadly this, until Anbernic gets serious and consistent about mid-high end value and d-pads, Retroid has zero competition and too much leeway.

You do not honestly believe the PSP and, fucking DS versions no less, are the same game as the PS2 and Wii titles. ...Right?

....Right??

The PSP and DS entries are literally different games entirely, almost always by different dev teams. I actually found it endearing how Spider-man 2 on the PSP plays like Spider-man 1 rather than being a big sandbox game like the console versions, it made it worth owning as well.
>>
>>11689656
>>11689687

Oh my FUCKING GOD the difference between titles like, the home console versions of Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam and Transformers: The Movie, compared to Vicarious Visions' DS versions which were entirely different and infinitely better games.

Haven't had the urge to buy any handhelds since getting a RP4P. I missed out on having a PS2 or PSP, so I finally get the chance to catch up. So far I've beaten God of War 1 and 2, Vice City, San Andreas, Bully, Resident Evil 4, Dante's Inferno, Ape Escape 3, and Futurama.

I take this thing to work and play it in bed pretty much every night. And once I found out I can make my own games for it, this thing became the coolest thing I've ever bought.
>>
>>11689705
The two DS games are like Pokemon Black and White in variety, with you scanning every vehicle in each game to actually be able to transform into them, Autobots and Decepticons playing by entirely different rules (The Decepticons version is FAR easier because you gain EXP from causing damage, while the Autobots version penalizes you from causing any damage/harming any human vehicles ever). They're great, I bought both when they came out physically and still own them.
>>
>>11689706
RP4P is to mid tier what RP2S was to low tier, it's just all around great with no major downsides. RP5 is fine but not enough of an upgrade for me to get it when I have the 4P. My Flip 2 purchase? That's a different topic, I'm not going to talk about it. But yes I will sing the RP4P's praises up and down these halls regardless.

Anyone know a good flashable repro cartridge brand that's almost 1-1 with the OEM GBA Cartridge? I remember an anon on a Pokemon thread mention that he used a self-flashed Repro cart of Pokemon Leafgreen to transfer his Pokemons to the Gen 4 games.

Adding on to this question, is it possible to flash OEM gba cartridges? Given that there's tons of Shovelware games floating around but no one has ever thought of just buying and re-flashing them with GBA roms after all.

How do chinkhelds compare to just using a controller with a phone?
>>
>>11689942
A phone could easily be better in virtually every way

>>
>>11689913

>>
>>11689942
sure, happy to go into it

>Phones are usually more powerful
While this is true, there is a price to pay. Cheap phones will not run PS2 or GameCube. They can run PS1 just fine but so can any current dedicated handheld. If you want PS2 on a phone you're paying 5-10x more than for a mid-tier handheld, and comparably to a top tier one like the Odin or Steam Deck.

>You already have a phone
Yes, but the phone is being a phone. It takes calls and texts, notifications etc. Airplane mode disables this but then you're not getting texts or calls that could be important. Of course you could just get a separate phone just for gaming but then. . .

>You need a controller or gamepad
Touch controls are bad, no one likes them. Which means you need a telescopic controller that will make your already wide phone much wider, or a Bluetooth gamepad which means you need to rest your phone on something or getting a clip. No matter what you do, it won't fit right, especially if the phone is in a case, and to use it on the move you'll need to carry it around anyway as few controllers are pocketable. It may also cost the same as (or more than) a dedicated handheld.

>Aspect ratios
Except for PSP and maybe GBA, phones being wide by nature won't work very well for 1:1 or 4:3 aspect ratio games, so most retro consoles. This can be mitigated with some bezels if you find ones you like, for example a guy here uses BigBlur.

>NDS and android games
Phones are alright for NDS as the vertical and touch screen make it a reasonable experience, as long as the games aren't too button heavy. Also if you like android games a phone is fine.

In closing phones are not the best option for retro gaming, although if you want to use it for that go for it, we're not stopping you.
>>
>>11689976
pt 2 - the good
so those are reasons why phones aren't great, here is why dedicated handhelds are preferable.

>Size
Depending on your use case, hand size and just general preference you can choose a device that's the right size for you. Want something to take in your pocket to play while waiting in line at the DMV? There are micro handhelds you might like. Have big hands? a 4 inch screen handheld might fit better.

>Buttons
These handhelds have dedicated buttons, which is far preferable to touch screen controls. As these are built into the handheld they take up less real estate than a telescopic controller.

>Power
While less powerful than flagship phones or even older flagship phones, you don't need a snapdragon to play Chrono Trigger. If your aim is to play up to and including PS1 then you have a wealth to choose fom, and even Dreamcast is becoming possible for budget handhelds.

>Price
As these are using parts from old phones, or mp3 players, or android TV boxes or whatever these are cheap to manufacture and depending on where you buy them, they are far cheaper than even a single modern game.
>>
Does stuff from goretroid.com come with warranties? I'm hesistant to drop ÂŁ200 on chinkshit only for it to break in six months or be DOA.
>>
>>11689987
pt 3 - the bad
everything isn't sunshine and rainbows, and there might be reasons you don't want a dedicated handheld

>Software
It's no secret that the software for these usually suck. The best you can hope for is that they copied Emulationstation or similar, but sometimes you can't update aspect ratios, or change controls, or whatever you want to do. This is mitigated by Custom Firmware but. . .

>CFW can also be a barrier
If you aren't used to it, setting up a CFW on a micro SD card can be a bit tricky. A lot of the CFW are linux based and made by people in their spare time, and probably a lot of users are used to Windows, so even after the CFW is set up getting roms onto the card can be annoying. Having to FTP onto a handheld to transfer files is a bit much for the average joe.

>Hardware
Sometimes everything works great, sometimes the hinge is designed by a monkey. Even if you try to do your due diligence and watch reviews the reviewer might have missed something, or consciously/subconsciously want to hype up the handheld so gloss over problems, even serious ones.

>Too many options
Its a bit hard to navigate the large amount of available handhelds, and some of them have serious issues. Watching or reading reviews can help but as per above, reviewers probabl don't have a serious tech background or might not spend enough time testing and analysing the handheld.

>Reddit
stay away from Reddit for retro handheld information, you'll just get people taking pictures of their miyoo mini next to a beer or 'do I have enough?' basedposting with a billion handhelds turned onto Pokemon Saphire's title screen.

There’s a company called Inside Gadgets that makes high quality flashcarts, but they are pretty expensive
The EZ Flash Omega DE can actually be used to transfer to gen 4, there’s a physical switch that makes your save able to be read by the DS
But honestly, if you just want to transfer Pokemon you are better off dumping your saves and using PKhex to transfer them, unless you really want to spend all that time in Pal Park
The thing with GBA flash carts too is that there’s different save types, so you can’t just use one cart for everything, there’s patches but not every game has one
>>
>>11690000
>Buying from resellers
Why? Noone is going to give you any sort of warranty or support on these handhelds, only Amazon makes it simple to refund but the things cost 2-3x the amount they do on AliExpress, you could buy multiple devices for the price of one from an Amazon reseller, and the only downside is you wait 5-7 days for shipping instead of 2-3 days
>>
>>11689507
I can’t find any handhelds called nig sp. Are you sure that’s what it’s called?
>>
>>11690050
What about Gamecube readability? And for EZ Flash Omega, does it function in a similar manner to an R4 Card where you load it up with an SD Card? I remember seeing that some GBA R4 types uses an SD card so I figure that it's the same.

I've been interested for some time now and I kinda want my own repro copy of the Minish Cap that's 1-1 with the OEM Cartridge.

>>
>>11690062
35xx+ is an incredibly well built handheld for the price, it used to be like $35 on sale but now its $400 sadly

I guess so. I always figured that you can buy a relatively cheap empty repro cart, flash them with a game and leave it at that.

I think alot of people dont understand how these things are made, they arent designing and manufacturing parts specific to the handheld like a mainstream jap/western handheld.

They are bidding for job lots of excess parts or rejects from factories, they just take whatever is available on the market and then assemble them into a new product to sell on the cheap

I think alot of people have very skewed expectations of what to expect from these handhelds, the only original parts on them are the shells, not including mechanical parts like hinges which are just recycled from said excess factory stock/rejects.

If I stream to my iPad with Moonlight the resolution of the text looks native, like pixel perfect, but when I stream at 1080p to the RP5 it looks blurry and it seems to have a sharpness filter that messes with the colors.

Well, it turns out super glue let one of the bottom pegs stick and be screwed into reliably, but my other one ultimately turned to plastic dust when I screwed into it. Only real solution was to position over the hole, put hot glue in the hole, heat up the screw, and then drop it in there and start twisting. Can't get the system to be flush ever again but when the revamp happens I'll probably just upgrade to that one.

Was considering remaking the foundation but making a cylinder that small that would fit without issues and could be screwed into was not worth the effort to just buy a brand new one for like $35 so I'll just let it be.

Retroid Classic could be vertical endgame, stickless at the very least.
Retroid Mini was a scam where they covered up a 1:1 screen to sell it as a 4:3, but worse than that, they tried to scale to a resolution they didn't have enough pixels for, so the scaling is totally fucked.

Who cares about the screen? You will have objectively better performance, capabilities because it's Linux, better emulators because it's Linux and not Android, and roughly the same battery life for like $30 more.

I've got one (well, a "powkiddy a66", which is literally just a rebranded model s) and it's kinda neat. The metal backplate makes it feel a lot more premium than it probably is.

Meanwhile my RG35XX-SP came with a screw on the upper screen showing damage to the screw port and the bottom-left of the device was never flush with the shell so maybe it was already teetering on breaking when I got it but it wasn't until I actually added the stress of turning the screws to the mix that it finally gave out. I used a hex key and lightly turned the screws, I wasn't pushing on them hard or anything but it still happened. I also hear cracks when I just began to unfasten them but that happened to all four of the screws, not just the two that broke, and the two that didn't break look brand new.

Still on the hunt for a cheap 2 frame response handheld. So far the only ones I could find that could (supposedly) do this were v1 screen versions of the rg353/rg35xx lines which aren't produced anymore. Seems like most are capable of 3 frame at best, w/ runahead. I feel like 50ms stock should be way more common than it is. Not enough people give a shit I guess.
>>
>>11692076
Do you honestly believe that going from 2 to 3 frames will ruin your experience (or actually be noticeable?)
>>
>>11692076
None of these devices will have that, in fact a lot use rotated screens so you will always need a minimum of 1 buffered frame
With retroarch tricks is possible to get them to a total of sub 5 frames of total input delay which I think is acceptable on a chinkheld.

Not ruin, but it is noticeable. Everything is just a hair slower than it should be. But, to put it in perspective, the original DS has ~54ms of lag when playing GBA games (+20ms vs playing on gba), so it's comparable to that. Actually better.

>>11692113
I have an ARC which gets to ~3 frames average. More like 2.5 for Gameboy. So pretty good. Still, being used to playing on PC and CRT, that extra 1-1.5 frames is felt. So if there were a device that could do 2 frames that would be nice.
>None of these devices will have that
Well, apparently a few of the anbernic 35 devices circa 2022 were capable of this with runahead. Apparently these "v1 screens" were capable of 120hz, just not used.

I think miyoo is just shit at manufacturing by chinkheld standards and the miyoo mini was a lucky fluke that gave them undeserved good reputation

You could maybe get away with a rp4+, but going for the rp5 is a safer bet

I've had mine since January and it's nearly perfect. Been playing some DMC 3 and Wind Waker on it, no slowdown, ergonomics are great, except for the triggers which are just okay, still need to get used to them for fighting games. Been mostly playing shmups like the Gradius series and various Toaplan/Cave verts, so that'll wait

Too big for my use cases, too expensive for what I want to do with it, and I want a vertical form factor because I'm a nostalgiafag. Bought an RG405V, it was fucking awesome but the 406V was released and was a big improvement over the 405, so I sold it and bought the 406. Plays everything up to and including GC/PS2, it's not too big but not too small, so I don't need to buy anything else.

I guess in my mind I'm comparing the devices that compete at the cheapest deck price point

>>11690779
>>11692191
Size is a fair point, don't you worry about the QC and lack of support for devices this expensive?

Personally I think the budget range of these are great, they are priced to be disposable and play 2D stuff perfectly so I totally get that market, I own a rg35xx+ for this purpose exactly, and I sold my deck last year just because I couldn't justify the spend for how little I used it
>>
>>11692207
>QC
Basically a crapshoot for devices under $100, but above that it's okayish. Didn't have QC issues with my 2 Anbernics, that said never preorder a chinkheld and wait 2-3 months after release so others beta test them.
>Lack of support
Nothing can be done about that except getting some help from the various retro handheld communities or going through a reseller, that's what I did for my 406V, they offer a 1-year warranty and do repairs. Haven't had a problem with it yet.

As far as I've looked into it your option is Rocknix rather than you being able to slap Bazzite/ChimeraOS onto it because ARM chips have big performance issues and support issues.

Bazzite can apparently install onto Ayn stuff but it has tons of issues.

No, you can't do much with famiclones other than play what's on them. They can be a bit of cheap fun but you can't mod them as far as I know.

YA BUDDY, HEY KIDDO
LITTLE GEN ALPHA TROOPER
"GBC" is universally "GameBoy Color"
But uh, "DMG" "OGB" "GB" "NGB" "GBN" etc is a little wee bit confusing!
So people say "DMG" when referring to the original GameBoy so everyone else knows they are referring to the original GameBoy, regardless of how confusing that is to ignorant new kiddies just being introduced to their first time in 2025 to what a fucking GameBoy is!

NTA, but you need to shut your soup-cooler. I'm probably old enough to be your father. My first handheld was the Mattel Football with the red lights. I've been playing console games since the '70s. So, with the bona fides out the way, we never called a Game Boy a DMG. Ever! That's the newest of new school shit, and it instantly signals to us old bastards that the person using it is a vintage-hipster, a child, or a faggot–probably all three. GTFO with that "DMG" shit. It's gay and so are you.

I agree with this anon
There was the Gameboy, then the Gameboy pocket, then Gameboy color, then Gameboy advanced

Anything else is newfag stuff, I played on each console when they came out (but only owned the pocket and then a GBA), and the first time I ever heard the anacronym DMG was a week ago when researching to buy my first chingboy

I'll call it DMG more often to piss off zoomers roleplaying in this cesspit board.

Switch flashcarts only play legit Switch games, so it's irrelevant to /vr/. It's also pretty much a guaranteed ban, which is a bigger deal than it sounds. Modchips are the only serious answer for a patched Switch.

>>
>>11693645
Flip, but nobody can make them anymore because chinks can't QA if their lives depended on it
>>
>>11693695
The SP and clones are vertical, the DS/3DS are either horizontal, vertical, or both depending on which screen(s) you're using for a particular game. I haven't seen an exclusively horizontal clamshell because then it'd just be a protective lid that could be an aftermarket attachment rather than part of the console.
>>
fpgbc yay or nay?
Did they ever unfuck the timings?
>>
>>11693645
Vertical, specifically because it reminds me of the Game Boy line. Would just collect those instead if they weren't so pricey
>>
>>11693718
They've been addressing stuff here and there over multiple updates, but the timing hasn't been COMPLETELY solved. It's still gaining something like 6 seconds over 10 minutes according to some people's count. I honestly don't even notice any difference when actually using it, only whenever I've tried it running the same game as an SP at the same time where it'll eventually get ahead.
I like mine, I got a nice color I wanted, and it's cool getting a basically new modern GBC for a decent price.
