>>12021728yeah, TWiLight Menu. Worked well for DS roms but emulating other systems wasn't great, SNES was awful in particular
you don't even play video games
I think egonomics on the Thor are going to be terrible, as we have already seen with the ayaneo pocket flip. For this reason I'm no longer excited about these handhelds and I'm just waiting for the Flip 2 to drop in price to replace my RP4.
>>12022006*pocket ds. Also cuz of Russ impressions
>>12022006>>12022010Why are you just willingly ignoring the fact that ergonomics for handhelds has always been critically dependent on your own hand size?
>>12021923What devices have unique designs or features, even if gimmicky? For example, the R36T imitating a CRT with the curbed border and plastic convex lens over the screen.
>>12022023Another one is the absurd keychain-sized FunKey S.
How is discussing Android-run chinkhelds considered retro here, but talking about Persona 4 isn’t?
>>12022021Maybe, but seriously no matter the hand size, there's no way that a dpad and joystick placement that close to the edge and bottom is confortable to use. I had to buy a tpo grip for my RP4 to be confortable and I have medium sized hands. I think the flip 2 did well in that regard moving the dpad and face buttons to the center. But with these dual screen devices there's no room
Is this site accurate? https://www.comparehandhelds.com/compare/retroid-pocket-flip-2-vs-retroid-pocket-mini-v2
>>12022038Ask a mod buddy
>>12020801Konkr offers the same specs as the Odin3 but with more buttons and $30 cheaper.
>>12022006>>12022010>>12022084Come to my side, lads. We have candy.
What's a good SD card reader? I'm starting to suspect the no name one which came with my anbernig is what's fucking up my cards
>>12022316Anker, Baseus and Ugreen are generally reliable brands.
>>12022275the candy he's talking about
>>12021996I don't play games - I make love to them
>>12022275Looks awful, but it still looks more comfortable than the "pocket" ds or the thor
>>12022084I like that rainbow one. Maybe that’s the one I’ll buy someday when I’m rich and can afford nice things.
Quick question anons, I have a few PSP that I don;t have chargers for so I plugge dthem in on A 2 AMP USB fast charger on the USB connector. I have nothing, no light orange or green on the power led. Is it worth buying the non USB official PSP charger or are they dead. Same thing if I do with wth the battery out. Tried leaving them psitting with the USB power in and same.
>>12022023I had this famiclone with a built in clock and compass. it had a built-in 180-in-1 and the non-bootleg nes games were on a sd card
>>12022006It's a necessary sacrifice for the bottom screen unless you make the handheld weirdly long.
>>12022460>USB connectorPretty sure you have to plug in the barrel jack to turn on a PSP with no battery. USB charging works if its on in the settings
>>12022482thanks, no light on usb is normal then I guess. Thank you
Anyone here have the 35xxSP? How are the buttons on the new versions? Any hinge issues?
I wish they made a device with the exact dimensions of the miyoo mini plus with a brighter oled screen and slightly better processor. Now THAT would be a dream handheld
>>12022006Both devices seem to be following the 3DS style layout with the addition of stacked shoulder buttons and a proper analog stick at the problem. Because of the dual screen in the middle, ergonomics are undoubtedly going to be fucked as a result for anything besides 3/DS games. No real sense in paying for anything besides the cheapest model of either to emulate 3DS games and call it a day.
>>12022502face buttons are ok but the dpad had no change so could be a long term problem if you don't do anything (taped mine but might add washers)no problems with the hinge
Its almost 2026 and the 40xxh is still the best chinkheld ever made
>>12022023This is cool but it would look better with a more rounded off case with a more round elevated bezel. Think Turbo Express, not like a 1970s TV as it is now.
>>12022226why do they have to link RAM to storage? paying 50% more for 8GB of RAM is retarded.
>>12022613Church
anyone have a modded switch? i was thinking of buying a used switch lite and modding it with my limited soldering experiencei think it could be my widescreen retro machine and a streaming device, while also running switch games natively even if the hardware is shitim not happy about switch emulation on android and i dont want a huge machine like the lenovo legion whatever
Lost in old thread,should I buy the Thor now if I'm going to anyway? Or do anons think it'll be cheaper within a couple months?
>>12023041It won't get cheaper than the preorder offer, but the issie is more on if the product is actually good or not
Guys, is any of those new retro handhelds good enough to use for LSDJ? I wonder especially about sound quality, saves (when I used chink clone of everdrive GB and original GB it had problems with saving ). Also for LSDJ you need certain setup of keys (you use select+dpad to change screens) so for example GBA key setup would not work with it
>>12022938I have a softmodded switch. Great device, easily have 2tb of games. a lot of them would be good on my steam deck but If they're just as good
>>12022613i hope so coz i just bought one
Any reason to get the 12 or 16gb Thor? Switch only has 4gb ram and that seems to be the peak here.
>>12023242well, you have a second screen that can run anything at the same time as the game/emulator
>>12023041Wait for hinge testing
>>12021923After beating DuckTales 2, finishing off the 4 major DuckTales Capcom titles from back then, I'm feeling sort of... depressed? It's like, what now? I got home from work and I knew I wanted to play them, now that I did and got closure it feels good, but I'm not in the mood for anything else just yet. Anyone else here goes through this sometimes?
What's a good site to download roms from? I remember there was one full packed of GBA and NDS roms but it was some 15 years ago and I can't seem to find it again, nor I remember the name. I tried looking with google but half the sites I get either bitch about ublock or are considered unsafe by firefox.
I want to get the Thor so bad, but there's a few things stopping me:1) Ergonomics seem shit. That d-pad placement is as bad as the RP5.2) Hinge seems to be the exact same as the Flip 2 and will most likely break.3) It may have the same input lag delay as the Odin 2
>>12023754Just google it. First result usually leads you to reddit which leads you to myrient.
>>12023127Test it on your PC, Gambatte is the core normally used for GB on everything, IIRC low end is too slow for SameBoy. Sound quality is pretty meh, speakers aren't great save for a few select ones, interference while WiFi is in active use.>Also for LSDJ you need certain setup of keys (you use select+dpad to change screens) so for example GBA key setup would not work with itJust rebind select.
Is the Retroid Pocket Mini V2 good at emulating gamecube / PS2?
>>12023785If you're worried about economics just take the grip pill. That's what I did for my N3DSXL and it felt so much better. I understand not wanting another peripheral to carry along or not wanting to add bulk. But in the end there will always be tension between ergonomics and portability. I'm happy using a grip at home and maybe going without it when I travel. The reality is if I ever do use these handhelds on the go it's never for extended periods to where ergonomics would really bother me.
>>12022084>>12022006>>12023785The answer to the question is obvious..It's whether or not they pick up the ball they've dropped.
Going to buy my first handheld. After going through all the cheap options I'm down to R36H or Trimui Smart Pro. They can both do everything I want so what I'm debating is the screen size. How much does it matter? I don't want to buy R36H and then be mad over the small screen have to buy the Trimui anyway.
>>12024586Trimui might be a bit more reliable
>>12023723Well, I managed to pick something. I'm trying out Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters 2: Dark Duel Stories for Game Boy Color, it's finally got a proper translation thanks to Konami's recent compilation and I've been wanting to play it for years, I'm genuinely happy to be able to try this, also love how similar it is to Forbidden Memories, my childhood favorite.
>>12023785>It may have the same input lag delay as the Odin 2It won't, the Odin 2's input lag is due to its screen. The Thor is using a much better 120hz panel.
>>12022153I'm not your buddy, guy.
>>12023950it'll run everything great, but in reality playing 6th gen games on that small screen (3.7" for 4:3) is a shit experience. get something with a bigger screen
>>12024816I'm not your guy, pal
>>12024984I’m not your pal, homie
>>12023723galerians was a lot shorter than I thought so I took a brake from survival horror. It doesnt help it had a pretty sad ending too
>>12024586apparently there is a R46H now with a bigger screen
>>12025324https://handhelds.wiki/R46H
>>12022038Because persona is for faggot weebs.
>>12022038Its been said before. Mods just like chinkhelds. That's literally it. This board also went down the shitter in general.>>12025863>China numbah one instead of japan numbah oneYou're still a race traitor, brah. If everyone in the thread had nvidia shields instead of trusting chink hinges they'd be more stable. Not counting powchaddy of course.
>>12024602>>12024602>>12025332Thanks, I'll look into the R46H, pretty funny how it's priced exactly between the two others as well!
>>12025895I’m sorry to tell you this, but you’re not Japanese.
>>12026243>Thinks I want to be a different race like the rest of his retarded iek>Thinks japan I posted a chinkheld and mentioned the shieldI can see how chinks and jeets keep scamming you. That said, I bet it was the powchaddy comment that set you off? Still assmad retroon can't make a hinge to save their lives?
>>12026362Powkidddy engineers were either selectively bred to be good hinge desingers or they worked on laptops before handhelds.
>>12026362Why does max spend 65 percent of his time shitposting on baidu even when he's working? His comments against retroid/ayn always tend to be unhinged as shit.
>>12026386This is going to sound hard to believe, but miyoo, powchaddy, and trimui are the only chinkheld companies to not spend time shitposting. Max is way more entertaining than say, ayaneo, but what makes his special over there is his personality and honesty.

>>12026479I’ve said 20 words and you’re going off on insane schizo rants. Get help.
>>12026496>S-Schizo!Average retroon deflection. Once they load of them crt shaders they oogle at the screen for 5 minutes and set their devices down for giving them carpal tunnel syndrome. Meanwhile, chink phone clamps ACT as the grips. Holy shit woly kit. Kosher salt while rolling a splif. Linux on dex was cancelled in a jiff and snapdragon is kinda lit.
How are the ergonomics of the Odin 2 Portal with grip? Thinking of upgrading from my G-Cloud and the only thing holding me back was that it's ergonomics felt perfect.
>>12026515based schizo hates everything (especially retroid)
>>12026847he prasied powshitty and game console like two posts ago
>>12026865>he prasied powshittybased schizo has good taste
>>12024934I'll play stretched if need be. Really the only thing I need is the smaller size, people have compared it to a Vita and that would be perfect.
>>120266161I don't own a g cloud but...The portal+grip is the only chinkheld that I can actually play for multiple hours without any sort of hand cramping, might be a big hands thing.I think the g cloud does the same in giving you two perfect rounded corners to "palm" and hold in a very relaxed way that fills your hand. It was enough for me to sell my steam deck.
>>12021923I'm thinking of biting the bullet and getting a dedicated handheld to emulate up to PS1, don't care much for N64 or Saturn. Is the R36s still good or has it been replaced in this price range? Also how do I get handhelds the cheapest without being tricked? I haven't bought one before and I'm anxious about screwing it up, how do I avoid inferior clones reliably too?
>>12027371Vertical devices really aren't comfortable
Odin 2 Portal!
>>12027371>Also how do I get handhelds the cheapest without being tricked?aliexpress, look for store name that is e.g. 'Ampown Online Store' and not 'Shop11054873' and if the prices looks too good to be true, it probably is.also aliexpress has a 'coins' thing where you can get further discounts but you need to daily collect them, or get them for placing orders and writing reviews.
Odin 2...Portal!
You think the 3 Portal will be different in any ways besides the Elite chip?
I asked in another thread but w the VB coming to switch I was wondering which 3DS is the best for emulating VB and older systems and games and how far can you go with 3ds emulation?
Odin... 2 Portal!
>>12027501new3ds since the 3d effect is more stable. As for how far it can go, rpgmaker 2k-2k3 kinda counts.
>>12027579Word I’ll def check that one out then. Thanks for the info
>>12027579Is the Zelda version fine? If I’m gonna go for one figure I might as well go w the most aesthetically pleasing to me.
Hey, it's >>11973056 again.I'm enjoying the Miyoo Mini Plus a ton, and it's supplanted my Steam Deck as the retro gaming device, since it's nice to leave the Deck suspended on something besides RetroArch, and also keeping any progress made on the device I always have in my pocket. I'm not really much of a stickler for super accurate emulation, ideally it'd be cycle accurate, but I can manage with even allegedly "low quality" emulation.Even still, I notice that emulating GBA games on my Steam Deck just "feels" better, than on the Miyoo Mini Plus, and wanted to ask why this is?Please note, don't try to tell me it's impacting my gameplay, or give me really subjective stuff like "it increases the skung factor." My most played game in the past few days, on both systems, is Sonic Pinball party, and with save state + rewind fuckery some of these shots are tighter than a Royal Guard parry from DMC3, maybe even frame perfect, and I'm able to land them relatively consistently on both ("relative" because it's fucking pinball, even on a physical table I'll miss some of them). But again, I will concede that it just "feels" better on my Deck, beyond the higher resolution and ergonomics, and want to ask why is that? Are some of the frames maybe lasting too long on the MM+? Does it run at like 57 fps instead of 60? I'm curious why there's such a discrepancy that I can feel it, but not easily see it, and I'm not asking because I think you guys are lying, I just never really cared enough to look into it since if an emulator doesn't outright break my game then I'd always considered it "good enough"thanks
>>12027670I've never had a MM myself but chances are you are hit with one of the following: >the screen itself isn't as high quality as the steam deckworse response rate etc>the OS on the MM is laggier/doesn't do as well getting around input lagI don't recall if MM is android or linux but its probably not a super up to date version>the emulator you are using on the MM has more input lag than the one on the steam deckpresuming both are using retroarch that shouldn't be too big of a thing tho>the steam deck is strong enough for better emulator settingslike run ahead to reduce input lag, but you probably haven't set thatFPS drops are possible, but gba isn't particularly high spec. I'd personally bet its a worse response rate + 16-66 ms of input lag (gba sp native is 33ms vs 16 gba I think?)
Found some guy selling his used Arc-D very cheap on a local (as in from my Country) online marketplace. But I wanted to make sure there are no gotchas with this device before I got it. Is it any good (build, dpad, etc)? Is there any need to replace the stock firmware?
>>12028195Damn looks like it could’ve been a game gear revision
>>12028206Yeah, I find its design really appealing. It's the main reason I want to get it to be honest kek
>>12028195It’s pretty great in terms of ergonomics, buttons feel nice, haven’t really noticed any false inputs (though my point of reference is M30 which had some shitty false diagonals, haven’t held a real mega drive controller since I was a kid). Stock Linux refused to run any games, maybe the SD-card was just that shit, no idea. Stock android was okay, ended up flashing GammaOScore, works fine but Daijisho refuses to work with the standalone Yaba Pro 2 standalone app. Some people use Rocknix, haven’t tried it myself though since it doesn’t work with Android

>>12021923Hey fags!Just purchased msi claw a8 bz2em. Slapped down excess cash I had laying around. You kids better recognise the real men in this thread and take your rockchip chinesium processors that can't run a REAL OS or even an MP3 and cry in the corner with your BING BING WAHOOS!AMDSpeaking of efficiency, the topic of Arm vs. x86 came up here, as it does every year. AMD, almost like Intel recently, declared that the myth that x86 can't be efficient was refuted last year. Both AMD Ryzen and Intel Core can offer extremely long runtimes in notebooks, while accessing the entire x86 ecosystem. Ultimately, the overall package doesn't offer an advantage for Arm.
oDIN 2 porTAL...
>>12027371Like >>12027383 said, vertical devices aren't terribly comfortable. It still sounds like a good device at its very low pricepoint, but personally I prefer something like the RG40XXH more compared to its vertical equivalent. About the same width/thickness as my phone with its case on, but more comfortable to play older games on due to being wider, and I think its worth it for how cheap it went for on sale (paid about 70 CAD so probably 50 USD). Probably not more powerful though for an up to PS1 device but may have slightly better build quality to make up for it.As for buying the cheapest handhelds consistently on something like Aliexpress, they have pretty frequent sales. Just check not only the product but the store ratings as well. I unfortunately can't speak on not getting duped by any clones but I think there's only really there's only the one vertical model with a 3.6" 480p screen with the D-pad on top.
>>12028581if it wasn't for the wrong dpad placement, I would not be able to tell it apart from an RP5
>>12027769>worse response rate etcmaybe. The timing of the shots in SPP are identical, but the "smoothness" of the gameplay feels a bit off on the MM+ compared to the Deck. the easiest way to put it is that I swear it's like some frames feel a few milliseconds faster or longer than others>I don't recall if MM is android or linux but its probably not a super up to date versionI don't think the OS would impact it much, because OnionOS and the MM+ in general is rooted in Linux, and so is the Deck. I can say from experience though, since I have multiple PCs, every game I've played on my gaming Windows PC feels better than on my Linux PC. And it's not a power issue, because both can max out Sonic Robo Blast 2's 144 fps for my monitor. But the "off" feeling going from my Windows PC to my Linux PC, with SRB2, is the same weird off-ness I feel going from the Deck to the MM+>presuming both are using retroarch that shouldn't be too big of a thing thoyeah, I don't think it's a retroarch issue since both are using it>like run ahead to reduce input lag, but you probably haven't set thatI might on the Deck, it's been so long since I tweaked performance settings. I know I knew enough about that aspect of RA to actually open up the performance settings menu and try tweaking it, only to to undo said tweaks since it was too much for the MM+ to handle.Also to ask another question to the thread, is there another chinkheld with better specs, as popular as the MM+, with an OnionOS styled suspend? I ask because I was curious and looked on Etsy for knickknacks and MM+ paraphenalia, and after seeing the absolute swathe of novelty stuff like primo buttons/d-pads, color options, accessories, etc, I'd enjoy having those options for when this piece of shit inevitably shits itself too, going by what Anons in the archive say is inevitable with all chinkhelds.

>thor looks like shit>odin 3 looks like shitthe rp6 is gonna suck isn't it
>>12022038Most are Linux-based still. Android has only recently been gaining.
>>12029236The stick will be on top. Russ did this.>>12029238There were always more android chinkhelds than linux. If anything, the linux one's only gained more traction when the 3326 odroid clones started getting made. Now you can shit out an easy 3326 with arkos instead of slapping android on a 3128
>>12029418>There were always more android chinkhelds than linuxgoing by the retro catalog list:76 android122 linux
>>12029423>Retro catalog, a website where they list handheld far back as 2017 at best. With the odd handheld covered by a youtuber like the openpandoraReally nigga?
>>12029435oh, was there a flood of 50+ android handhelds before 2017 that tips the scales?
>>12029440The literal hundreds of crap by jxd? Yinlips? Did you think the xd was gpd's first handheld? Did you forget the all the tablet manufacturers adding controls to their cancelled/discontinued tablets? Most, but not all, android chinkhelds weren't even linux in those times.

I'm a massive handheldfag despite having a really good desktop PC and discovering these things over the past few years has made me waste a ton of money. I also ordered the Ayaneo Pocket DS, Flip 1S and Ayn Thor. I'm also considering the Win 5 because it looks so janky.So far this is what I have:GPD DuoGPD Pocket 3GPD Pocket 4GPD Win MiniGPD Win 4GPD Win max 2GPD MicroPCGPD MicroPC2Ayaneo Flip DSAyaneo 3 Ayaneo Pocket MicroAyaneo Pocket AceAyaneo Pocket S2 ProRetroid Pocket MiniRetroid Pocket 5Anbernic RG Slide>>12022006The ergonomics on the Flip DS are pretty bad, yeah.
>>12032009Under 3 hours of use on all of them, right?
>>12032016The only one I don't use that much is the Flip DS. I play the Win 4, Mini and Aya 3 in my chair when I'm in front of my PC. The Max 2 is hooked up to an egpu in my living room with my flight sim setup. I used the Pocket 3 for a couple of years, it replaced my X1 nano. The Pocket 4 I just got this month and I like it a lot more than the 3 so far, mainly because of the color. The Ace, S2 pro, Retroids and Anbernic were all bought this month, so I haven't had a lot of time on them. The slide actually came in a few hours ago.
>>12032042I forgot to mention that the Duo and MicroPCs are my Linux machines. I just think small tech is neat.

>>12032190it has a shitty d-pad, and it's gigantic. I always use my TSP rather than my Steam Deck for retro games
>>12022531Yep, that's what I'm gonna do too. Then for the other system I'll see what I can get, maybe something with a bigger battery and screen like the Odin 2 Portal or whatever new version they launch in the next few months.>>12024561>>12030025If you place those dpad-joysticks a bit diagonally like that one Ayaneo whatever the fuck that has those reversible things, then it would be perfect. Sad thing is that you would have to make the device a bit wider.
>>12032229The main reason they have diagonal placement is to find the most ergonomic compromise between directional inputs like shown here>>12022275This device's screen is 7" in length enabling more ergonomic placement of controls. But the swappable nature of the other design is to "min-max" the ergos on ether directional input. In most games, the other directional input is usually used in a menu or as hotkeys. This design is focusing the ergonomics for their primary use, while respecting the original design's size.

>>12033883Seems like an emulator issue.Most DS/3DS emulators can't output each screen to a different display. People are gonna find out the hard way that this shit won't work properly.
>>12033883At least they showed it actually doing what it’s supposed to with the 3DS footage. But both of these powerful clamshells just seem meme-tier desu, ideal for 3/DS and PSP but with fucked ergonomics for everything else. Also can’t believe they went with a glass front for the bottom screen. Who was the idiot that came up with that idea?
>>12033918You just have to use the right ones. Specific versions of MelonDS and Azahar can for DS and 3DS respectively if I recall. Ayn probably just downloaded Drastic or something.

>>12034547>just letting you know that device sucks dicksounds like projection, anon
How reliable is Ayaneo? Are their devices prone to QC issues? Asking because I have an Odin 2 and was considering selling it to get the Pocket DS instead. Odin 2 is honestly fine, but the screen lag DOES bother me in action games and platformers and not all can be fixed since non-retroarch emus don't have key frame skip or whatever.The only other consideration is the Ayn Thor. I know it's $100 more expensive, but the Pocket DS seems to have better ergos, a larger screen, and a bigger battery.
>>12034679Also forgot to say I'm quite leery of the Ayn Thor too. They're obviously the same company as Retroid and the Flip 1 AND Flip 2 were plagued with hinge issues.
>>12033802lol android, good one
RPMini ended up the only smaller PS2/GC machine, huh?
>>12033921Drastic can send the top screen to an external display while keeping the bottom screen on the device. What old-ass version are you talking about?

>>12035771The one in my head :3
i have a feeling we are going to get absolutely CHINKED by the Thor. It WILL ship with multiple catastrophic failures in software and hardware. and the chinks will be laughing as they count their piles of money from the retards who buy it at launch
>>12035889their piles of money will be a lot bigger if the thor is a good product. it will sell like hot cakes.
>>12035889I look forward to the new people realizing how much the 3DS fucking sucked to play on.
>>12035889People are actually hyped for the thor. They're not gonna be dumb enough to ruin their reputation by chinking out on the hinge, right?
>>12036110that's why they're selling grips.
>>12036145Ah, but that's not the consensus. The public opinion is that 3DS ergonomics are great and you're a mutant if you complain.
>>12036183desu, the only clamcel with good ergonomics was the shield portable and its clone from ipega. reguarding the thor, ayn just needs to make sure they don't fuck up the hinge, dpad, and battery life.
the only chinkheld I bought without letting leddit test it first was the v90s, because powkiddy unlocked good hinges on their tech tree. Going to wait with the Thor thank you very much
>>12034679As someone that's owned two of Ayaneo's android devices (Pocket Air and Pocket EVO) I can say that I personally never experienced any QC problems, but that's not to say that it can't happen. I remember when the EVO launched that there were some complaints regarding the quality of the thermal pads they used, which would lead to some thermal throttling during the WildLife extreme stress test which would lead to roughly 70% stability. Personally my model was fine at around 83% and I know others posted their results to have highs in the 90% range, but your millage may vary. As for them being reliable I'd say so, though I never tested their slide/clamshell models.
>>12037087Hmm then I guess it's a bit of a gamble then. If they have a good customer service warranty return like retroid it would be a no brainer. I think I'll hold off for now.
>>12032208The intention for that photo is probably to show off the difference in brightness.The thing on the right is so bright it's forcing the camera to compensate, which makes the 3DS look especially dim in comparison.
would it kill one of these fuckers to put the right stick on top (the right way)
>>12029552>the bottom right and the one above itI am intrigued...
>>12032761we don't have the technologywe cannot rebuild him
>>12032761Take the entire thing apart and replace the screen. I've done it with a monochrome WS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwGqlf4b6YQDepending on the screen/board fix you get you probably will need to solder.
Ayaneo is launching an actually affordable handheld...and not for Konkr which is supposed to be their "affordable" brand. They're even bringing back the headphone jack this time around after making a ton of Android devices without them. Where it might fall apart are the specs though. Has a 4.2" 960p screen and a 4500mAh battery but the Helio G90T is said to be somewhere between the T618 and the T820. Not to mention the devices will only have 2 or 3GB of RAM so this is basically capping out at DC support at most. >>12037427With both of these upcoming powerful clamshells, it really is best just to wait. Sure missing out on the early bird pricing for Ayaneo sucks since their handhelds are insanely expensive, but it is very much a gamble to see how long these devices will maintain their hinges for. At the very least nows a good time to barter for people selling their used handhelds in an attempt to jump onboard the clamshell train.
Reminder that Mangmi Air X is a scam. Its SoC is worse than the T610 in RP2S, which released for $90 two years ago:https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Unisoc-T610-vs-Qualcomm-Technologies%2C-Inc-SM6115/4604vs4460https://nanoreview.net/en/soc-compare/unisoc-tiger-t610-vs-qualcomm-snapdragon-662BOTH the CPU and GPU performance is worse. Totally not worth buying unless the only system you want to play is PSP and you HAVE TO emulate it on a chinkheld instead of using superior options like a Vita or or an actual PSP. I guess it has a bigger 16:9 display going over RP2S at the very least.
>>12037885sure, let me just grab an RP2S instead>unavailableoh. well how about a brand new Vita or PSP>$250 or moreoh
>>12037885>>12037946Mangmeme has an upcoming product called pocket x with SD865, I’m guessing they’ll probably sell it at around $150 range and make it basically a budget rp5, you can wait for that if you want

I'M SO HYPED FOR THE THOR LADS
>>12038571Does anyone even make capacitive touch screens without glass?
>>12038571This is literally the only reason I'm even considering the pocket DS. God that glass is ugly.
>>12038498Contrary to popular belief, Nintendo doesn't really care that much about patent and IPs. It's only when you start charging money for your romhack or emulate their current gen that it's an issue.
>>12038763Nintendo is seriously trying to argue summoning a monster to fight for you as a patent right now.
>>12038767I mean Palworld is pretty blatant about it's copying. There's tons of other Mario and Zelda indie clones that did fine.
>>12037885>an actual PSPNot only is the battery life for the PSP not good by today's standards, the Mangmi Air X when it was in stock was cheaper than the RP2S, and likely cost as much or possibly less because of the shipping costs. Not to mention that it can still play PSP games at a higher than native resolution with features like fast forwarding and save states, and any games with uncapped framerates like Silent Hill Origins run like a dream.
>>12038814I'll be fair in saying it chokes at higher end psp upscaled compared to the t618's, but it's still a better deal than the retroid 2s not counting the dpad and not counting the x28 movvgs all of them
I THINK RETROACHIEVEMENTS SUCK
>>12039034No, U!
>Thor will use the same hinge as the flop 2I don't know anything about retroid's hinges except the flip 1. Is this something to worry about?
>>12039109Possibly. My Flip 2 hinge never cracked but plenty of others did. I hope I'm as lucky with the Thor since I'm selling my Flip 2 to buy one.
>>12039119You do not need the dual screen... Enjoy the flip 2 while it lives...
>>12023176Nta,but how's mame emulation I could always just buy the hamster collection of roms but they are actually missing some bangers like alien versus predator & cadesh
>>12039109Source? If so I'm not gonna preorder.And yeah it's an issue since Flip 2s were breaking en masse.
Ayn should just make a chad move and ship the Thor's now
Ayn uploaded a second video and they figured out how to get DS working now lmao
i want a bunch of games for my original DS just piles of shovelware where do people sell this. garage sales?
>>12039317Why is the DS not upscaled?Looks like shit...
>>12039369just get a flashcart
what's the state of dpad-centric 4:3 handhelds? I am looking to modernize, coming from a 353M. zero interest in anything after PS2
>>1203748315 years of ergonomic improvements and these retards make this JXD abomination.>>12038198>>12038279The bottom screen has a noticeable gap that isn't shown on the preview render.
>>12039407because those are sprites retard
>>12039317surely the ds can fill more of the screen
>>12039785Not without being uneven with the bottom screen.I'm sure you can do it, but it'd be a nightmare for games that use both screens for the same scene like Yoshi's Island DS.
>>12039791True. I don't mind it being uneven for most games though since a majority of them just use a map or menuon the bottom screen
>>12022275God I want this
Any good guide or video for completely setting this up? I followed a video a year ago and halfway through the websites/settings were different than what he showed so I couldn’t really follow through. I’m admittedly retarded so I need to be handheld through it all, no pun intended.
>>12039580If you aren't interested in anything after PS2, the most powerful 4:3 D-pad centric handheld is currently the RG477M. 960p screen that has a high refresh rate IIRC, and the Dimensity 8300 processor means it can play a lot of upscaled PS2/GC games to where the only limitation will be the emulator itself. Very expensive though. Anbernic has an alternative called the 476H which uses the same screen and is D-pad focused too, but it unfortunately has a glass front panel and the chipset used is the standard T820, making it far weaker in comparison and can probably only handle 1X native res for GC/PS2. Ayaneo currently has the Pocket Air Mini coming out soon which will be cheap with a 4.2" 960p screen, but performance will probably top out at 960p Dreamcast at best due to its chipset and low pricepoint. There's also a small company called XU Retro that's working on another sub $100 device called the XU35 H40 with a 4" 960 x 720p screen and a Helio G85, but I've never heard of that brand so its a gamble. Those are about what I can think of in terms of devices that would probably be a major upgrade from where you're coming from.
>>12039893thank you for the comprehensive and useful response
how is the experience emulating switch games on one of these higher end devices? As far as the performance, controls, display, gyro etc. Vs just getting a v1 switch? Which would be a good bit cheaper as well ig, but I've never owned or even handled a switch so I have no clue how good the native experience is

bros I dreamed about having the thor and odin 3 already. it was perfect bliss...
>>12040436Why would you want both?
Chinkheld newfag hereShould I just get an Odin 3 (Pro) if I want to do it all?I prefer the size of the Odin 2 Mini but it's so close to the early price of the Odin 3 that I can't justify getting the 2 Mini
>>12040482yeah if you want PS2/Gamecube or above go for the high end stuff, the cheap ones only go up to Playstation 1 reliably. There's not really a middle ground at the moment
>>12040445I'm also thinking about getting both. Thor is perfect for DS but maybe Odin will be better for other stuff idk. In any case maybe sometimes you don't feel like holding a DS and can just switch things out a little.
>>12040482Sure. Word is SD8 Elite is having some issues with OpenGL on RA though, namely N64.https://github.com/libretro/mupen64plus-libretro-nx/issues/575MP64Fz works, or so jewey claims, I'm not keeping track of this.
I get the feeling that Ambernic is gonna release a DS clone that can do DS/3DS well for a way lower price than Ayn and Ayaneo is asking for in the next year or two.
The purple Thor is fucking ugly compared to the promotional images. Feel bad for you purple bros, you got CHINK'D

Yeah I cancelled my preorder and got a Pocket DS instead. I've already suffered enough with the odin 2's input lag and this looks WAY worse.
Anyone get the TrimUI Brick Hammer? They look beautiful, but I'm not sure it'll have much usecase for me since I fixed up my 3DS. I was intending to use it mainly for GBC/GBA games. Might get it on a sale just for its looks later on.
>>12041434Changing my order to White ASAP
>>12033883I like this cheap chinkheld I got to play DS games.Dont need this overexpensive garbage.
I love the retroid pocket classic man.Its got just enough power to play something like deathsmiles mega black label or shillouete mirage or even sonic heroes.Can't get more for less than 200 until this year really.Even still, I'm surprised by some of the compromises ive been made to do, can't run flycast with the accuracy settings despite being powerfully enough to handle mednafene saturn.had to switch to software rendering for rage racer just so I don't experience any frame drops.And i can't run melonds with resolution increases and games like mugen frontier exceed will lag to shit with default settings, that and I can't run jaguar although, .jag may just not be a good filetype for retroarchs jaguar core.Choice paralysis is real so I've added a bunch of games to my "favorites" listing on es-de currently its 3 I'm trying to beat and then hopefully "master" Deathsmiles mega black label outrunners and the first super mario bros.For deathsmiles right now I go from lv1 until I'm forced into lv2 then after that when I'm forced into lv3 and so on and I've been doing okay with that plan so far since the game doesn't let you stay on lv1 versions for long.
>>12041741Is that Deathsmiles?
>>12041770Yes
>>12041792Damn, what emulator are you using and which set? I have never been able to play it in a handheld, only the PC version.
>>12041798Retroarch man retroarch's final burn neo core with the default settings just open the game though maybe switch the video driver from opengl to vulkan just to be on the safe side of compatibility that's what I did no rom set here just an individual non merged rom I got from myrient the name of it being "dsmbl"
>>12041880Thanks will try it later today
>>12041798Even though emulation is more accurate than the switch and pc shits its still not as accurate as it could be there are still some parts of the cv1000b and cv1000d that havent emulated yet still get those if I had the choice more characters deathsmiles IIX nicely done arranges etc
>>12041886>cv1000b and cv1000dAre these ROM modules or something?Thing is I cannot run the Switch or PC ports on my retro handhelds. I will try on RG35XX or Miyoo Mini Plus to see if it can be played.
Dusted off my TSP from last year, only to find it still had half a battery worth of charge and it was still quite fun to play. Elevator Action Returns is an incredible game.Glad that despite Trimui not having or releasing the 32bit libraries and Portmaster support vanishing because those clowns can not ask ChatGPT to make a port for the TSP because of the lack of libraries it was not a waste of money. /Blog

Portmaster is a great tool but the community has some issues, in my opinion. Not just the AI usage either.
>>12042619Can you try to make more sense please?Are you saying the porters dont know how to port, and must use chatgpt to port them for them?Are you special?
>>12042623Some tend to use AI near exclusively to do their ports. Others are content to start ports and abandon them without rhyme or reason. Many are just hooked on buying the newest handhelds and bouncing from device to device. You can tell it is a fully volunteer community.
>>12042625too vague of an accusation, do you have an axe to grind against someone in particular...in general there is a workflow already established on what game engines are supported and what tech no use to port them, it is not an esoteric job that is different each time, the game is either compatible with the port runtimes or not, once it runs it has no reason to not work unless you have more insight?I have had no problem with any ported game, and I have suggested tens of games and only two could be ported because of the flowchart I am telling you about, it is shared often in the Discord, your game either is one of the games from those compatible-portable engines or it wont happen, it is not as if they threw AI at random games to crack them...
>>12042623What that anon said was not difficult for me to follow at all.You should stop being a fucking tripfag, this will be my one and only response to you until you remove that fag tag from your posts.
>>12042623>>12042630I'm neither of the Anons who replied to you.You look and act like a schizo.Seek help.
>>12042267>Smart pro?R36Pro.
>>12040830Makes sense since the others indigogo campaigns have been really successful.I do hope they put the d-pad on top since that makes it better for ds games in general and the 3ds I want to play
>>12042830Screen for ants.Was suprised my 20 bucks r36 clone ran ds playable enough.
>>12022037I get the novelty aspect but nobody is actually using these tiny handhelds are they? Unless their own hands are tiny too.Just looking at it makes me feel like my hand would cramp like crazy trying to use it.
I fucking missed the mangmi presales and they're sold out now
>>12043083The appeal is you dont even notice it on you, probably good for little bursts of pick up and play stuff on lunch or train. Might be okay for tetris or chipping away at an rpg like pokemon where you can move slow.
>>12043110>play stuff on lunch or trainI haven't done this since I was a teenager. I thought about bringing my MMP on a train and then I was just like.. how embarrassing.I almost exclusively play on the toilet or in bed.
>>12042830>resident evil dsfor what purpose?
>>12043115I use my RG34XX SP on the bus, why the fuck not? Handhelds have existed for decades, no one is judging
>>12042820>>12042787(you)
>>12039167i'm also looking at a switch lite, used ones can be had for around $80, not sure how easy it is to mod because i ain't paying $80 for tendies games
>>12042438Very nice. What's that maple story looking game in the beginning?
>>12043531Those require a modchip.
I have a Trimui Model S. Should I go with the latest stock FW (.108), or should I use GMenuNX, even though it's based on an older version (.107)?
>>12043164It's the best version of OG RE1 provided you skip the DS minigames/puzzles.
>>12044397if you're adamant about playing re ds, at least keep it to one screen and use a button to swap between themthere's no reason to torture yourself with a 1" game window
>>12032009Top 3 best?
>>12044375I know its old as balls but no interest in MinUI? it doesn't look like any of the forks cover the Model S but I could be wrong
>>12043761
>>12044507GMenuNX has a MinUI-style menu option.
>>12035782>make an account to finally buy a chinkheld>use discount code>account immediately frozenVery cool.
>>12044516I'd go with GMenuNX then, not a fan of stock on the Smart and I assume its the same
>>12044490I'm not that Anon. I'm just giving you the facts.
I would love to know chinese sometimes just to know what the chinkheld scene is like over there. It seems like all the manufacturing CEOs hate each other, with the recent drama being over Max Zhou calling Ayaneo's CEO a cheap fuck for not turning on the air conditioner in his Tesla. I was too much of a brainlet to properly check my tabs and accidentally created a new thread.
>>12044740Now I forgot the pic too, fuckin great.
>>12031072MonHun 4 Ult runs at 2x resolution pretty smoothly on the RP5. Haven't fucked around with settings that much more, but the cinematics seem to be an emulator fuckup. >>120330202x as well. Azahar is a shit emulator, probably could get 3x if I really fiddle with settings.

thoughts?
>>12045173Obviously magicx so it'll either do what it's meant to well or won't come out
>>12041893you need beefy hardware to run cv1000 games. my brick barely reaches 40fps.for more accuracy you want to configure blitter delay in the dip switches to have correct "panic slowdown". i use it at 66.
>>12045173>top dpadAs hyped for Thor as I am, this almost sells me
>>12021923If I buy a chinkheld from an Amazon seller with my Prime account, do I still have to pay tariffs?
>12044982Shut the fuck up.
>>12042910I wanted to game PSP but sucks.Disnt expect to come with a ds emu and to be decent.>>12043164Tactical reload.360 turn.Map on the second screen. Rebirth has different enemy composition like crows among dogs or zombies among Hunters.Can pinch Jill ass.But fuck the new puzzles, particularly this one. >>12044490That was just for show. I can set it up like this.
>>12045173>magicxNope. I tried their xu20 v32 and it was shit
>>12044515kek okay I didn't expect that. Will play it when my Thor arrives
>>12045367is it shipping from a US warehouse?
>>12045173might be in the minority on this, but I don't get why multiple powerful dual screens are coming out. I mean the DS was great and 3DS was ok, but what use is the second screen for everything else?
>>12045892I think so, how do I know if it's on Amazon?
>>12045892This is the one I was debating but I think the seller is Chinese so I would indefinitely get hit by tariffs right?https://www.amazon.com/Handheld-Portable-Preloaded-Compatible-Bluetooth/dp/B0DS8SK3HJ
>>12046135to put a picture of your wife.
>>12045462the xu20 v32 is their shit option, tbqh.i mean, it has a mono speaker when they advertised stereo speakers.
>>12046297Never get preloaded anything. Ripoff.
>>12045173Looks great but also gives me the vibes of one of those rumored handhelds that will never actually come out.
>>12045315Thanks, then it is a lost cause in the Miyoo Mini and RG35XX, good thing it runs even in a Celeron N3050 PC (Mom's Linux Mint PC at the office) where I often play it with my little niece, she loves the witches and monsters xDDDD
>>12046501Don't care my main question is would I have to pay tariffs?
>>12046628>retard asking would he have to pay tariffs when he's paying 80 bucks for a 34XXYou obviously are, jackass. >but you said the preloaded card is the scamIt is, all they're doing now is hiding the tariff hike behind that upcharge. So now instead of an extra 20 bucks profit they're getting 19.75 or so. Faggot. Kill yourself.
>>12046628>he's willing to pay for e-waste roms when he could get a brick
>>12046135>what use is the second screen for everything else?You can use the top screen for systems that prefer a widescreen like GBA, PSP, anything modern or widescreen hacks. And the bottom screen for older systems that prefer the more boxy aspect ratio. Would be ideal if the bottom screen was 4:3, one thing I wish the Thor had.
>>12046135Retranny P5 = psp and whatever elseThurrrrrrr = DS and 3ds You CAN afford both, right?
>>12046654>>12046640What in the fuck is wrong with you bitches?I would rather pay an upfront price than gamble with some percentage price owed.Two years ago I would use AliExpress all the way but fuck no am I gonna want to get surprised with some mystery bill.Listen to yourself you faggots. Are you that insufferable?
>>12046885Yes they are, just like all the stupid /v/ retard tourists in this thread.Real men use flash carts or a Mister variant on actual CRTs, not this gook ewaste bullshit.This thread is the absolute bane of this board.
>>12046885You're paying the percentage price, you fucking retard. It's right there, listed plain as day. If you can't read or comprehend what you're reading, then that's on you.
>>12046893NTA where do you see this? There's only a total cart price when you add one of these to a cart.Looks like a scam tho
>>12046908It's not rocket science. Amazon always has an upcharge, some of them upcharge more than others. Any seller, ANY seller it doesn't matter, will overcharge you for a SD card with some shitty roms on it and it is always a scam because they use the shittiest SD cards in existence and load bullshit roms you're gonna swap out anyway on it. It is always at least 20 bucks, sometimes way more depending on how retarded they think their customers are. Since tariffs are a thing, they will hide tariffs in the SD card upcharge. Tariffs are generally not 20 fucking dollars for a fucking piece of generic chinkshit, though, so what they will do is hide the tariff charge in with the "cost" of the SD card they paid a nickle for, so their total impact to their profit per unit is like 25 cents (which is meaningless since they're getting an ADDITIONAL 20 bucks of profit off the buyer's retardation, that's all that's impacted so really their profits aren't harmed at all when you think about it like an insect), Your best bet has always been to buy direct and avoid all that shit because the chinks (and to a lesser extent, the russians) have been ducking international shipping laws and agents for decades.
>>12046920Same NTA guy from before. Interesting, thanks for explaining.
>>12046891What's a MiSTer variant, poser-kun?
will any of those dual meme handhelds even work well for actual touch screen games?its obviously gonna suck if you have to use your finger.

>>12045173Can do light PS2 emulation with a 3DS shell for 120 bucks?I'll believe it when I see it desu.
>>12047748Anbernig seems too busy chasing trends lately to make another cool handheld like this.
>>12047707>"I don't like these threads!">why do you visit them then?>"you must like retroid!"Psych wards aren't sending their best
not strictly /hhg/ but the shitty SD cards that come with are they any use at all? like can i put music on them for my phone or is that useless too
>>12048101>Pretends I'm that anon>Sharts himself over being called out for his cuck fetish/tv/ are not sending their best>>12048375They corrupt extremely quickly and even when they don't, the acutal storage is like 200mb at best.
>>12048387dang I'll just put music straight on dadbergs phone. was hoping the sd card would be useful for something like when he changes phones etc lol
>>12048387Oh great, the schizo is back

Just ordered a RG34XX. Give me your top 3 GBA and/or SNES games anons.
>>12049145>top 3 GBACar Battler Joe, Ninja Five-O and King Kong will all put hair on your chest
>>12049145Make sure you do the tape mod on the d-pad contacts or you're going to lose your mind. Put the tape a bit less than half way across each pad and it won't give you false diagonals while also not requiring you to push hard in each direction to register. It turns that system from very annoying to perfect.
>>12049094>blatant advertising
>>12049145This is optional but I've put 2 narrow strips of adhesive felt on the face to soften the snap, and it stops the screen from pressing on the dpad and leaving a mark

>muOS dropped ext4 support for SD2 without warning and made the crowdfunding wall of shame on first boot unskippableI hate these redditors so much it's unreal.>>12049738RPMini
>>12049951I did not know they supported EXT4 before, I bet it corrupted much less than FAT32 does. It is unbelievable how often it corrupts if you plug the microSD back into the PC to add games after the first flash of ROMs... it gives you ONE chance to copy roms, after that it corrupts...Which is ok provided you can use the Anbernic device as USB storage, which is very stable and faster than OnionOS WiFi transfer (capped at 2mB/s)
what's the cheapest handheld available for ps2 emulation right now?
>>12049738Ayaneo pocket micro?
>>12050117your current phone.
>>12049145Goodboy GalaxyPokemon PinballSpanky's Quest
>>12050367I asked for a handheld as in handheld console.
>>12050442Your phone can work as one, just add a gamesar controller to it and it will be just like buying a handheld.Take it from me, a guy who has 7 chinkhelds and play none, except for the RG35XXSP, love this machine.
>>12050442you also asked for cheap and your phone is already paid for.the "cheapest" ps2 capable handheld are around $150-$200, which isn't exactly cheap by chinkheld standards.
>>12050117Don't fall for people suggesting 'phone', it isn't worth it. Take it from someone with a flagship phone and a gamesir
>>12050463I'm not interested in a phone.I want something that resembles a handheld videogame console.I would have asked for a phone if I wanted one.
>>12050631RG406 variants are probably the cheapest PS2 capable right now, although I'd recommend a Retroid Pocket 4 pro
>>12050657NTA but I have $140 in Amazon credit leftover from a work bonus so I am thinking of dropping a few more bucks and getting a Pocket 4 Pro.I have a modded Vita but I've never bought a ching chong bing bong emulation handheld, is there anything I should know before pulling the trigger? I basically just want to emulate stuff the Vita can't handle (Saturn, Dreamcast, PS2) and from what I am reading this handheld does a reasonable job of that.
>>12050117Anbernic RG 406H
>>12050671>anything I should know before pulling the trigger?Setting up these can take some time, even android with downloading and configuring standalone emulators. I can't remember if the RP4 comes with pirated emulators but eh, we're all playing pirated games anyway
my brick arrived today and i love it. chinkhelds have come a good ways since i last bought one 5 or so years ago
>>12050672Anything with a 16:9 screen?I imagine PSP games would look pretty bad in a 4:3 screen.Thanks for giving me a serious answer btw.
>>12025332>https://handhelds.wikiOh shit, I completely overlooked this when I was checking the thread the other day.Thank you Anon!

>>12049145If you or any anons reading this had a GBA back in the day and played any SNES ports, or wished for specific SNES games to get ported to GBA that never did, the 34XX, 34XX SP, and 35XX SP are a great chance to step into a what-if from 25 years ago. Try playing those SNES games you wish had been ported but never were, or the original SNES versions of those GBA ports from many long moons ago, especially if the soundtracks were particularly mangled in the process or if the ports were just bad in general. Be sure to use a grid overlay to really sell the effect. I did this with Super Mario World recently on my 35XX SP, and it was a pretty cool experience. Here's some other games to try with it.A Link to the PastSuper MetroidDonkey Kong Country trilogyTales of PhantasiaChrono TriggerSuper Castlevania IVMega Man XSome Genesis games are good candidates for this too, like Sonic the Hedgehog, the Genesis version of Earthworm Jim, or Streets of Rage 2. I also like doing this to NES games on Game Boy clones, especially with a Gameboy Colour border applied.
>>12051116>34XX SPBest pocketable handheld, for all the shit it got initially
>>12051116If you didn't zoom them in and crop it to 3:2, you didn't beat these games.
>>12049734Can you elaborate please?
>>12051429He thinks that other post was about the 34XX SP, rather than the 34XX.
>>12051429as per >>12051439my mistake
>>12051439>>12051456Ah ok. Thanks tho. Gonna try and see if I can tape the dad once I receive the unit tomorrow. Will do the infamous Contra test before and after.

>>12049965Are you using linux by anychance? I know there was a issue on how muOS flashed SD cards were being mounted that resulted in the corruption of it. There's a fix for it out there.
>>12051116I know a lot of people hate the added voices in Super Mario Advance games but those were the ones I played as a kid and back then I didn’t know those were ports or what SNES even was. Now playing the originals just feels off so I prefer the GBA versions with palette correction patches
Is the RP5 worth for PS2 and GC?I love my trimui pro but I can see the defects of the joysticks and L2/R2how good is the battery for low demanding games?
>>12025332>same screen res as the trimui brick>horizontal>stereo speakers>old reliable rk3326new best budget option.i almost want to get one, but i know i would just toy with it and leave it aside.
>>12052132That would be the r50s.
>>12052143>480p screenit's crap, chief.
>>12051624Yes I am using Linux, and the issue happened both in Linux Mint (Ubuntu) and EndeavourOS (Arch).I figured last year it was Linux mounting the cards, because these handhelds run on plug and play mountable Linux systems. I figured that was the case because Windows does not even see the OS partition only the storage one (in the case of Adam{s Image, in Anbernic, for example). So yeah, I know this is the case, for some reason it gives you one chance to load ROMS before corrupting as if once it has ROMs it creates some config files or some settings regarding contents that get corrupted when mounting it to Linux and being edited. I wish I knew how to fix it, but I found the work around to be quite simple and easy:RG280V becomes USB drive activating MTP on the OS menu. MiyooMiniPlus (for some reason they never activated USB transfer) you can use HTTP and FTP to transfer, for long transfers I reccomend FTP because HTTP won't tell you which transfers failed and you can end up with a bunch of corrupted ROMs. The downside is WIFI is limited to 2MB/s per the WIFI module.RG35XX Plus allows for USB transfers.But yeah, I wish I knew how to stop Linux from fucking my cards up.
>>12052157weird, I'm running Kubuntu and have a TSP with MuOS, and I've shut it down and put the SD in my computer more than once, and it hasn't corrupted.
>>12052178Weird, it also seems to happen when I am copying more than 100GB at once... Now I only load about 60GB and the rest (PSX games) through USB or WIFI. I have no idea why these issues are so esoteric in my side, I do use safe removal and all that..
>>12052185does it take a long while to unmount? if not your system has a problem. for some shitty reason linux bases the file transfer progress on how much is read, instead of how much is written. so it will say finished once it has the file cached in ram, but might still be minutes before the file is done actually writing.
>>12052195I leave it transferring at night, that gives it about 4 hours after the last file has been transferred to finished writing, then I expel the card safely and it does it fast. Otherwise, yeah, I have noticed that... it take a bit after it is "done" to finish writing the last file.
>>12052024yeah that's pretty much the point of it
>>12052024The RP5 is basically the best Gen 6 system you can get before you start spending hundreds more on extra premium stuff, I'd recommend it. For low power games I can play it all day without needing a charge so you should be good.
Thoughts on ARMSX2? Is there any hope that we could some day move past AetherSX2?
>>12053303The mere fact that this is being actively developed using available source code gives me hope enough
>>12051470>Gonna try and see if I can tape the dadWhy? Won't he let you play Contra?
I can't fucking wait to finally upgrade from an rp3 to the Thor, assuming we don't get chinked too hard. How much longer do you guys think we'll have to wait for review units to be sent out?
If I'm looking for high price to performance, should I go with the RP5, the Odin 2 Portal, or wait for the Odin 3?
>>12053824If price is a concern, RP5 is the best bet. You'd only really need something more powerful if you're interested in going extremely high power. Switch emu, high end windows emu, potential PS3 depending on how that develops.For standard /vr/ gaming though RP5 is perfect
>>12053363>how could this happen to me?!

Thinking about getting a 35xxh because I want an EDC-able horizontal handheld with analog sticks. 40xxh, TSP and Cube xx seem too big. Anyone here have one and can give me their experience?
>>12053824RP4/556 is enough to play basically everything up to PS2/GC. You can splurge out a bit more for an RP5, but the value isn't there imo.
>>12054968Disagree there, RP4 struggles with a lot of PS2 games that RP5 doesnt. Katamari was near unplayable at later levels on my RP4, but my RP5 does it all in 1080p

>>12055096isn't that a little too big to be a handheld?then again, shit like the steam deck and switch 1 and 2 exist.
>>12054957yeah, its fine - no glaring faults, although the dpad is a bit stiff, which can probably be fixed but I haven't looked into it

>>12055056Struggles how? I managed to run every PS2 game I wanted on my RP4 with a bit of tweaking. I've heard the 556 is the same from multiple reviews and streams. But yes, if you just want something that works out of the box then you need an RP5.
>>12055367Oh I just saw you said RP4. I meant the Pro obviously. IIRC RP4 is equivalent to the RP3+ which did indeed struggle with PS2 even after tweaking.
Just bought two r36s for my wife and I to play. Was impressed over all with the quality after doing minimal research. I am definitely gonna get us dual screen ones for Christmas I think. Do the newer ones handle racing games and n64 titles better? I am really just looking forward to replaying the DS pokemon games and I am curious if the quality is any good for those games?
>>12021923What am I in for folks
>>12055849>folks What are you, fucking Obama in the late 2000's?
>>12052157This is a shot in the dark, have you tried not using the GUI file manager but to mount the SD card using 'sudo mount' after you figure out the exact drive with 'lsblk'?I have run into this kind of issue before and deliberately mount SD cards like this and then use tmux + ranger to move shit over and to make sure shit doesn't fuck up while transferring since you can hit 'w' while in ranger to gauge progress.Give that a shot.
>>12055853Yes
>>12048954Motherfucker some gook ass shit with a shitty screen vs a device that can output to many different video devices. There is a big difference.
>>12055867Then nigga that is the dumbest thing I have ever seen anyone buy in a while
>>12055849A widescreen handheld with a sliding screen and a keyboard you won't use more than five times.Hope the sliding mechanism doesn't jam.
On a modded 3ds can you just straight up copy all the files onto another sd card (like one with a larger capacity) and just stick it in no problemWhat about switching 3ds's like a standard 3ds onto a new 3ds
>>12055885>a device that can output to many different video devicesthis nigga don't know about computers
>>12043110I use my SP for a similar reason. Just seems odd to go that small but you know, to each their own.>>12043115Seems pointless living your life worrying if total strangers you'll likely never see again think you're a nerd or not.

>>12055939This nigga don't know about input lag
>>12055948>"a device that can output to many different video devices">In summary, if lag is critical to you, it's best to play on a CRT using a recommended and widely-tested USB controller.lmao you clown
>>12055990Listen numb nuts, where did I ever say to use a USB controller?Do you not know what a fucking SNAC adapter is?
>>12056028let's walk you down the path>"a device that can output to many different video devices">use a computer>"but input lag!"nigga you're getting lag if you're outputting to many different video devices, smarten up
>>12055863Will do! Thank you man!!
Anyone try connecting an RG Cube XX with latest muOS to HDMI? It connects and I get video out but in square ratio with clipped edges. How can I get 16:9 on HDMI? No such setting in muOS
Thor will change the handheld game forever
>>12056028You mean the thing QMTech can't use?>>12056148Like 4 versions ago you had to set up which resolution output you wanted, poke around the settings harder.
>>12056194If the rp5 couldn't then no reason the Thor can especially when it can't do 3ds perfectly.
>>12056194i have been gooning to the purple (1TB) thor for weeks now. my balls ache for release
>>12056505Wait, what problems is the Thor having with 3DS?
>>12057092lagdroid
>>12057196>that speaker positionuuhhh...
>>12057092It's more with the emulator, but some games are prone to crashes and shader compilation. There's also a minor frame lag that is very noticeable on the Thor, but ironically not on the pocket DS. Ayn has put out a statement saying they will fix it, but they also said the same thing about the Odin 2 screen then just quietly swept it under the rug.
>Androidnot even once
>>12057313I thought the Thor wasn't even out yet, how are people even testing this?
>>12057337Videos are already out, Anon.
>>12057349>videosWhat, Ayn's? You can't gleam shit from promotional videos. I need the number nerds to actually test them out themselves.
Should I get the dual screen attachment for the RP5? It looks good and I got money to spend.
>>12057361You don't need numbers nerds to see the delay between a button press and action onscreen.Regardless Ayn already put out a statement, meaning even they acknowledge it.
>>12057363Is it even fixable? RGCs video with the Pocket DS showed pretty big imput lag when using touch screen. Seems like lag is just shit on android. I wonder if a Linux dual screen would be better and more responsive.
>>12057397Well we don't know what the issue with the Thor yet, but on the Odin 2 it was supposedly due to the screen so not fixable. Whatever the Pocket is using is probably a higher refresh screen so the issue isn't as pronounced.
>>12027371Just buy TrimUI Smart Pro, don't listen to retards who shill anbernig 40xxh with it's 640x480 resolution. I have mm+ and it's bad for ps1 games, screen too small, so I'll buy TrimUI for them (or even retroid pocket 5)
Should I just get the LCD Steam Deck for $320 or is it worth the extra to get an OLED? I already have a smaller retro handheld to take with me places, so this would mostly be playing in bed or taking to a friends house.
>>12057478OLED is really really good but it highly depends on the games you want to play. $320 for the LCD Steamdeck is a crazy good price though.
>>12057490Mostly indies, some lighter weight AAA and slightly higher end emulation like Switch, Wii U on top of the usual older stuff.The main thing I can't decide on is if the extra battery life, 90Hz and slightly larger screen is worth the extra ~$250.
>>12057478OLED has better response times, so if you're playing reaction-based games you probably want that. If you're playing RPGs the LCD is fine.
>>12057498OLED steam deck is good but not $250 extra good. Steam decks have good value after market and at this point we're a few years away from the next steam deck generation. So if you dont want to cough up an extra $250 just get this and enjoy the steamdeck and see if you like it while waiting for the next gen steamdeck to come out.
>>12057490>>12057518>>12057541Thanks for the help Anons. I'll probably go with the LCD since its dirt cheap right now and wait for Deck 2.
>>12057463>Just buy [Something worse than anbernig]>Retroon included bcuz why not. Despite being overkill for what that anon wantsShartui really needs better shills. The dumbo and brick makes it look like miyoo mini fags play games.
I was so close to order a handheld, had researched for weeks. Then I realised I would only play at home anyway so it would be idiotic since I can just emulate on my desktop or laptop instead. I was so close to be seduced by the hathelders.
Can't decide between 35XX and 40XX. Please someone decide for me.
>>12057463>don't listen to retards who shill anbernig 40xxh with it's 640x480 resolutionare you seriously recommending 16:9 over 4:3 for emulating PS1 and below?
>>12058039NTA, but I'd pick 16:9 any time of the day, specially in this day and age when there's widescreen patches/cheats and the like.But even then, 4:3 games look fine on 16:9 screens. Can't say the same for 16:9 games on 4:3 screens though, and if you get that itch of emulating PS2, PSP or whatever and decided to go for the 4:3 screen then you're screwed.
>Ayn acknowledged the latency issues with the Odin 1 when people brought it up, even promised a fix for it.>said fix never came. Expected people to just shut up and buy the Odin 2 instead.>Ayn acknowledged the latency issues with the Odin 2 when people brought it up.>didn't even bother saying they'd fix it. Expected people to just shut up and buy the Odin 2 Portal instead>Ayn acknowledged the latency issues with the Thor when people brought it upHmmm...
>>12058098>4:3 games look fine on 16:9 screensincorrect>if you get that itch of emulating PS2, PSP or whateverso, sacrifice PS1, SNES, Genesis etc looking better because you might want PS2/PSP on a cheap chinkheld? No
>>12058106The anbernic dual screen is the last hope for this meme. I don't know how well t620 does 3ds compared to t820, but their reps confirmed linux versions.
>>12057196Are they just making them all minimalist white now?
