2 screens sure why not EditionScreen Utility - https://shauninman.com/utils/screens/Handheld Comparison - https://retrocatalog.com/Google chart - https://tinyurl com (slash) AllHandheldshas anyone asked my question before? - https://4search.neocities.org/vrCompare handheld sizes - https://retrosizer.com/last thread>>11996341/
>>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.

>>12026434Based nigger. What's your favorite jarpig on for handheld play?
>>12026362What’s wrong with you?

>>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
Odin! 2 Portal...
>>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.
>>12028581Gay nigger sex.
>>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.
