Thats a big screen.
Thinking I maybe shouldn't have ordered the poobrown version...
>>
>>12092601
I only bought the 34xx this year, mostly because Max is still stingy with the 34xxSP. I was hoping I'd have the Arc 2 by now.

>>12092604
Something about that silver looks real cheap, probably the skittle buttons sinking another color.
>>
I expected Anbernic to do a refresh of their vertical handheld, but it's a dual screen version instead.

So I predict the vertical refresh will be this

RG 477V
-plastic body
-dimensity 8300
-4.7" screen

And I hope for slightly larger buttons than the 406V, but I'm not optimistic about that.

I don't think they'll make a metal or glass vertical yet.

do they have a version that can reach behind?

>>12092685
It's just a screen size comparison. The actual RG 477V would be very different.

Odin 2 Portal?

so should I sell my first-born (my fully working gbp+camera+printer+games might pay for it) for the Thor or not?

2>1 screens
>>
>>12092871
Except the biggest screen is smaller than the Odin 2 Portal's and the Thor has 2000 less mAh battery to run two screens. Seems like a sidegrade at best.
>>
>>12092776
The RP Classic is pretty close to that and metal shells are a meme
>>
>>12092880
if it was 120hz I would have gotten one already. I haven't seen BFI in person yet so I don't know if it's actually good but it's an option I'd like to have

I was almost FOMO'd into a buying a handheld.
But then I did my old trusty trick of setting my desktop monitor window to the same size as the handheld I was thinking of buying, and realizing I fucking hate it.

So what should I spend my $150 on instead?
FPGA are getting pretty cheap....
>>
>>12093169
You could hire a male escort and give him a brojob
>>
>>12093169
Fairly sure the screen utility on OP scales everything to real size based on your monitor. If you can get a cheap Mister it's pretty cool, but last I checked the clones had issues with the user port which are normally used to hook up real controllers, look into that if it matters to you.
>>
>>12093162
enlighten me sissa
>>
>>12093181
>Fairly sure the screen utility on OP scales everything to real size based on your monitor.
It does, but it's a lot more enlightening to actually play games at the screen size you're thinking of buying.
>>
>>12093187
Right, but it gives you the size to use immediately.

is winlator+syncthing the go to setup for pirated/non-steam games?

It could depend on a lot of things. Sometimes you might get better performance using console emulator + a port of the game in question.
>>
This is probably the best thread to ask even though it's not necessarily on topic.
I've been considering getting a Galaxy Fold so I can emulate DS/3DS, have any of you guys tried it out? Any real issues?
I am aware of the L/R button issue (it'd be awkward to press in games like Mario Kart) but other than that, any good/bad experiences with it?

The tariffs don't cover the container ships full of the devices shipped to Anbernic's warehouses in the USA. So you have nothing to worry about.
>>
>>12093452
I assume DS wouldn't be a problem, but 3DS emulation on Android can be a bit tricky

Cheap chinese handheld screens still blow it out of the water

Ur all plebs.

>>12093548
And cheap phones/tablets blow those out of the water since they tend to be unused tablet or phone screens in the first place

MisterPi triple stack aka the mega pack. Then get a VGA to composite adapter.

Then get a yellow to yellow cable. Then get a 3.5 mm jack cable to red and white cable.

Hook it up to a CRT and configure the settings. Then enjoy.

Do you not have a phone? Just use that instead.
>>
>>12093691
phone emulation is dogshit and leagues below handheld though
>>
>>12093695
Factually untrue.
>>
>>12093691
>Do you not have a phone?
No, I do not. And I do not want one either.
>>
>>12093691
i would rather have a dedicated emulation machine that i can set up with a front end and keep my library of games in at all times than use my phone which i need for daily life stuff
>>

I used to be big on retro consoles but then realised actual hardware is better.

I sold all my actual hardware, took up too much space. Still have CD wallets of games to sell.

Are any of these things fit for human hands? Mines called Game Console btw
>>
>>12093845
pretty much every handheld's buttons are made for insectoid chink hands but some are a lot better to hold than others
>>
>>12093642
Yeh, but they only tend to use those screens when their old and busted. See the ktr with the bb keyone's 3:2 screen.

>>12093695
It's the same shit. Wtf?
>>
>>12093691
I use both. I'll no longer have to once ayaneo makes their xperia play clone that they teased and retroon, powkiddy and anbernig will make thiers so I'll have more options.
>>
>>12093871
cpu makes a difference, not a lot of support for newer processors.
>>
Magicx is making a widescreen vertical...With a rk3128. Not linux

>>12093823
>bulging battery
This happens with chinkhelds moar tho. Bet you niggas wished you shilled the v90 with its bl-chad-c nokia easily replaceable Nokia batteries instead of the nigsp didn'tcha?

>>12093845
>Game console
Should've got the r50s. Widescreen 3326 is retarded, but it's their best handheld.
>>
>>12093884
Meant wide clamcel. My guess is android 7 or 8 since that chip has problems with anything above
>>
>>12093871
>they only tend to use those screens when their old and busted.
oh, so we're just making stuff up now. Do you think busted screens is applicable to most handhelds?
>>
So the budget Thor won't be able to run 3DS and it won't integer scale for DS (will use 640x480 @2.5x)
Cool I guess
>>
>>12094121
Busted as in "We're throwing these out because wtf are we gonna use them in" it's how miyoo, powkiddy and anbernic's first 3326 chinkhelds all had 3:2 screens
>>
>>12094181

>>
>>12093452
I remember reading how galaxy phones have a problem with cooling and downclocking the CPUs after 10 minutes or so. Also if it uses exynos GPU instead of snapdragon then no games will run. Be sure to research a little more before buying.
>>
>>12094269
The fold series is fine foe gaymans. Exynos is mostly bad for emulation due to drivers, so switch and winlator might suck

Recycle old tech? I just hate when people do that
>>
>>12094181
If the rp5 plays 3ds, the regular thor will do the same

>>12094281
What point are you even trying to make? Chinkhelds being made from phone and tablet parts is common knowledge.
>>
>>12094294
>What point are you even trying to make?
that re-using old tech is based and has historical precedence in vidya
>>
>>12094359
Tru... Tru. I sometimes wonder if powkiddy just got lucky woth the x18/s's hinge or if they reused the hinge desgin from one of those old umpc's
>>
was looking at midrange handhelds but it turns out my phone is strong as shit (snapdragon 855) so I guess I'll just get controller grips for that, as much as I hate the idea of not using a dedicated machine.
are any of the aliexpress telescopic controllers worthwhile? mostly care about a good dpad.
>>
>>12094385
Gamesir or easysmx if you like clickys
>>
>>12092586
ambernic ds better be equal to mangmi or i rage
>>
>>12094415
NTA but are there any with the dpad up top?
>>
still rocking my old "new" 3ds how well do ps1 games run on it?
>>
>RP5 $20 off

is it likely to get cheaper for black friday or should i jump on it now?

>>
>>12094564
Bsp d9 has them diagonal which is close enoguh, but it's more made for tablets and bsp dpads kinda suck
>>
>>12094564
only one I know about, not sure it has an official name but it sells as 'Ultimate Controller for Android'
>>
Any chance the Anbernic DS will do 3DS? At least at low settings?
>>
>>12094669
literally me
>>
>>12094764
unless it's a mangmi level competitor, the chances are very low
>>
>>12094616
Probably, but know Retroid only does very small discounts.
>>
Has AI slop autist taken the hint that his shit sucks?
>>
>>12094810
You keep complaining about this person and none of us have any idea who you are even talking about.
