So what's gonna be the next big thing after dual screen handhelds? I haven't been following new releases much lately because I think these devices have reached their peak.

I just want an OLED, high-powered, small linux handheld. Why does this not exist?
>>12117582You need at least Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 with latest mesa turnip driver. Odin 2 Portal, Ayn Thor Pro, recent but not too recent flagship phone from samsung, etc.

>>12117612how high powered you talking about?
>>12117621Enough for PS2/GC. I know RP5 can technically run linux but it's not a great experience.
>>12117408Current year high end specs at budget prices using tomorrow's budget-to-mid SoCs
>>12117625portal or thor should be able to slay ps2 and gc and they work on android and rocknix. mesa drivers are op as fuck.
>>12117408budget steam deck competitors ideally. I just want a smaller steamdeck without having to deal with winlator and and all that shit to play pc games and I really don't need it to be that strong it would only be used for emulation up to ps2 and easy to run indie games, anything stronger could be streamed.

Forwarding my post from the previous bump limit thread >>12118185 I wanted to ask about chinkheld durability, too.I've not only dropped the RG280V, but I did a lot of bluecollar work with it in my pocket, too, as well as dropped it several times onto tile. Hard labor that had me pressing myself against walls and other stuff a ton, and all that's really happened is it's gotten that "well used Gamecube controller" style worn down smoothened plastic feel from pocket friction.What are some current pocket focused chinkhelds that have a similar level of tankiness? The GDK Pixel 2 looks interesting with its all metal housing, but I don't have one so I've no idea how durable it is

Not sure if this is the right thread but want to ask, have any of you experience issues with GBC games?I got this console and I could change to OnionOS from the go.Bit GBC games are glitching the fuck out and I tried the cores it comes with.Might be an issue with the OS or console? Thanks.
>>12118265>I'm starting to thinkNice!
>>12118316Buy an Analogue Pocket and you'll never have these problems ever again.
>>12118316>>12118324Its not GBC its Game Gear.
Should I get a Retroid 4 Pro, or go ahead and treat myself to the 5? How big is the performance gains in PS2 games? Or is there another android based handheld that would be better?
>>12118353It's not an immensely huge jump but it is noticeable. Funnily enough, you could think of it as going from the PS4Pro to the PS5. My personal favorite is the Flip 2 (RP5 chip).
I thought the gba would be more comfortable than these small ass 'helds like the miyoo mini plus but god fucking damn anons the rg34xx cramps my hands so bad. I feel like I have average sized hands. I don't get this kind of pain with a ds or even my gbasp. Starting to think I may have gotten the wrong device for me.
>>12118375GBA has different ergos than most horizontals, but it could also just be because it's a copy of a device made for kids and you're playing it too long at a time. Stretch your fingers and hands every so often too, in general.
>>12118353If anything the biggest upgrade is the screen. 4.7" 750p IPS vs 5.5" 1080p AMOLED. Also the RP5 is compatible with the DS screen addon while the RP4 Pro is not.
>>12118383Im gonna have to do shorter sessions. I just get lost in my rpgs and dont want to stop lol.
If anyone remembers those DCres versions of dream cast ISOs that had stuff stripped down/out, do those run better on weaker handhelds than regular DC isos?
>>12118114NeatKinda want to get a Thor myself seeing as how 3DS prices are batshit insane, but this also seems promising. Guess I’ll have to stay tuned to find out which one’s the better choice.
>>12118353at least wait until the RP6 gets announced before you buy anything
>>12118387Fair, lol
>>12118392Do you mean CDI compared to GDI? Download some and try it out.>>12118395Nta but I get the feeling I'll be buyslaving both. That RGDS really pulls at my nostalgia.
I have no handhelds and have been using an Xbox controller with my phone. It works great, but would rather not drain my battery and the extra wear. I don't plan on doing much past 5th gen. I'd rather have something that could run Linux and is repairable, at least replaceable battery. I have $300 to expend and was thinking pocket mini v2 or 477m but am shooting in the dark as for what's important. Are there any brands that lean libre for Dev?
>>12118443>repairableI dont think any of these chinkhelds will be repairable like 10 years down the line when they're so cheap and replacable.
postan again anyone have the apk for iisu? dont wanna spend 3$ for a beta https://www.patreon.com/posts/iisu-ds-alpha-0-141405402
>get RPF2, my forever handheld>does everything I want, no need for Odin 2 levels of power>NDS triple whammy out of nowhereIt wasn't supposed to be like this. The one saving grace I have against Thor is I dislike that when closed, the top only touches that part in the middle instead of touching around the entire edge. That and the controls, I guess.
>>12118636everything is china slop, buddy
>>12118114If its the same dpad from the 34xxsp it will suck, hate how it doesnt have a pivot. They should stick to membrane dpads, lately they have been very good
>>12118597The Thor is useless, too much buffering needed to sync two completely different displays in android. The nig ds seems to be using 2 of the same screen, maybe even on the same display out. Should be much better. I hope they use a chip that supports/can support Linux
>>12118670These face buttons look just like the SP's, it's probably dome switches again.
>>12118673If RGDS releases a linux version with less latency, I'm instantly buying. As much as I want the Thor, I guess I really don't play much 3DS.
>>12118431Yeah, where can I get those versions still? My usual spots only have gdi
Could Nintendo not still do limited batch releases of 3ds systems? Surely with all the other handhelds out there it shouldn't be hard to fab arm chips that are within spec.I feel like they're leaving money on the table with how insane used prices are.
>>12117453LMAOOOOOOOOOO
>>12118689not gonna happenNintendo makes money from selling games not consoles 3DS games development also stopped years ago also Nintendo is well aware that the 3ds has been well hacked at this point and if they rerelease the 3ds it will just be used by magicom sd card game rom pirates that will not buy 3ds carts even if they would still make them
Portal 2 price drop nah?
>>12118683RGT has some CDIs
>>12118689Best they can do is a handful of remasters spread out over the course of like a decade
>>12117453can't wait to fondle romani
>>12118735>Nintendo makes money from selling games not consolesI thought they were the only console manufacturer that focused on making their consoles profitable too.
>>12118392Those were downsized to fit on a CD-R, typically by re-encoding videos with a lower bitrate. Nothing was done to the program code. It would help with video playback only, if even that.
>>12117937kek

>>12118757if anything price going up
>>12118128>Most people love pokemonYou need to get out of your circle more.
>>12118905Can't you just use a virtual credit card?
>>12118801That Anon was half right. Nintendo is the only company selling hardware at a profit, BUT that is because they focus on having a strong exclusive lineup that people pay for. It's the opposite strategy that MS and Sony utilize, whereas those guys lose money on consoles sales but hopes to get people to invest in the branding and timed exclusives.
Depending on what Retroid announces, I'll either get an RP6 or a Konkr Pocket Fit. If I go with the Pocket Fit, will 8GB of be ram enough for Switch emulation or should I go for the 12GB model?
>>12117750>people helping other people to be able to play games>"THIS BOARD IS DEEEAAAADDDD!!!"Kek. Really puts in to perspective what useless, non-contributors like yourself care about most.
>>12118673>>12118680I just want the Thor for brainrot watching a video and playing a game at the same time. Can anyone confirm if the speakers are good or shit?
>>12119191speakers are okay. not groundbreaking but not bad. wireless headphones will always be better than whatever dac they put in.
Will input lag on the thor be reduced to usable levels if you use Linux on it?
has anyone had random "ghost touch" issues on Odin 2 pro? how did you fix it?
>>12118937Why would the price go up as 3 is coming out?
Anybody else waiting for the Retroid announcement before they pick up a Thor, just in case?I would hold off longer, but I doubt the Anbernic DS will be able to play gamecube and PS2 anyway.
>>12119323How many times must you be told Ayn and Retroid are the same company. Where's that pic of some engineering unit of RP... 5, I think, running Odin software?
>>12119325Yeah, Moorechip. That's why I'm holding off. If they fucked over Flip 2 buyers by releasing the Thor right after, why wouldn't they fuck over Thor buyers by announcing a Retroid DS?I got burned by the RP3+ announcement in 2022 and refuse to trust them on good faith anymore.
>>12119332Because that would stop people from buying the Thor right now.
>>12119334r*dditors already preordered the Thor en massemoorechip no doubt made their money back, and can move onto the next thing.
>>12119338You can't possibly believe most purchases happen in pre-order.
>>12119340So I take it you're not waiting for the retroid announcement?
>>12119346Not touching hinge-based chinkhelds costing more than $60 with a ten foot pole, but I am waiting for the Mortgage Mini.
>>12119351>Mortgage MiniAm I out of the loop? What the hell is this?
Mangmi or a Ayn Thor?I know it's 100 vs 250-350 but I'd likely to keep it for a long time without upgrading. Also since they run android I'd try and play my gacha on it.
>>12119367Retroid had this sob story in response to getting caught faking a 4:3 display on the original Mini where their CEO would take a mortgage on his house to fund a custom 4:3 OLED for the next Mini.
>>12119312Same reason all existing console prices have gone up
>>12119312tarriffs
>>12119380I’m still waiting on that mythical 4:3 OLED screen, since they just used the 10:9 screen used by Ayaneo in the Pocket DMG for the Mini v2

>>12119671The 6 buttons Retroid Pocket Classic
>>12119772talking to people is not a problem. i think you should consider not doing it though.
I really the shoulder buttons on the Brick despite everyone else seeming to hate them. Was never a fan of the slopes on other vertical handhelds and one other thing they do better is that L1 and R1 are the longer, bigger buttons as they should be. So many times I see these companies either make them the same size as L2 and R2 so they're not distinct, or even worse, make them smaller than L2 and R2 which is fucking awful. Still only second to the RG300's legendary shoulders though. And one of them fell off while inside my pocket once which spooked me into getting scared I might lose them one day.
>>12119751herehttps://files.catbox.moe/mteds2.apkshut up now

I lurked these threads for a year, watched all the youtube shills and finally caved to my inner consoomer and got a 40XX H. Well, what can I say? It's absolute fucking garbage.>d-pad *feels* okay but is way too sensitive, forget about false diagonals only, we're talking false fucking cardinals here, see webm>face buttons are too small in diameter, too close to each other and too hard to press, they feel absolutely awful; simple games like Mario on NES which requires constant holding of one button is almost impossible to not do accidental button presses>both analog sticks are sitting way too close to the d-pad and face buttons, so now you're also getting accidental inputs from them>excessive input latency even on easy-to-run stuff like NESGranted, I have not yet tried any of the custom firmwares but I don't even know if it's worth investing that time considering the bad controls on this thing. I have tried GPU hard-sync and run-ahead in the RA settings on an NES game and it only barely improved. I have expected for this thing to be ergonomically bad but not that level of bad.Can I fix any of that shit?Is the Kapton tape mod applicable to this devices d-pad?Is there a fix for the face buttons to make them at least easier to press?Can I make the sticks modular somehow, without fully removing them?Will a custom firmware improve input latency? I don't assume this thing has enough power for run-ahead, except for maybe NES and below?This thing was only 53$, shipping included and I still feel scammed. I'm not some poor thirdie but I hate wasting money and I wouldn't even gift this to someone, it's so bad.
>>12120179>bweh buttons too smolit's not the handheld fault you have mutant thumbs.

>>12120179>lurks for a year>buys a piece of shitbro why the fuck would you spend 60 dollars on a shitty chinkheld? im new to this thread for like a week and i already know the only cheap chinkhelds worth buying are the ones for REALLY old games like anything before the GBA advance and even then you should go for a meme one for the lulz.Do anons really come in here expecting not to get fucked on cheap shit? it's chinesium you dumb retards.
>>12119323Holding out cope that they announce a Flip3 and an RP6 at the same time. I really hate glass fronts and that hinge gap.
I think I'm getting a R36s for Christmas. Is it still the budget king?
>my RG40XX H is fineI didn't know there was a lottery, phew
Threadly reminder that Powkiddy exists.
>>12120207>it's not the handheld fault you have mutant thumbs.It might look like that on the video but I guarantee you these are normal-sized White Male European hands (7.87in by 4.33in). I get mogged on the daily by friends and family who have actual shovels for hands. Also, it absolutely is the handhelds fault since they could've just made the case slightly wider to give the buttons more space and/or make them bigger. They're 8mm in diameter while a Xbox 360 face button is 10mm. Doesn't sound like much but makes a huge difference.>>12120210>willing to go through the trouble of tape mods but not install CFWI literally got it yesterday and as I wrote >I don't even know if it's worth investing that time considering the bad controls on this thingSo even if that would bring input latency down considerably, I'd still be stuck with the bad inputs. Also you're retarded, the tape mod would cost me like 15 min max to do while fully setting up Knulli *to my liking* probably days.>>12120216Considering the low price, the rest of the build quality and the screen are actually pretty damn good. It's the inputs that are retardedly designed for 60lbs Chinese women with needle fingers and I also didn't expect the input latency to be that high since it's a Linux device and not Lagdroid. I guess the shills and youtube grifters won.
>>12120248get the battleXP instead, which is anbernic's sub brand.
>>12120297>they could've just made the case slightly widerYou bought a device that was made small on purpose. If you wanted a bigger horizontal, there are options.
>>12120373Stop it with that straw man bullshit and cherrypicking my arguments you fucking shill. There is enough room on the shell as is to make the buttons either bigger or give them more space. They also could've made the analogs flush with the shell. They also could've just not fucked up the d-pad considering the praise the 40XXV's d-pad got. Address my other arguments you worthless scum marketer defense force shill. None of the shit I listed was covered by any of the youtube grifters. No one actually plays fast-paced games on these things.
>>12120426You could have asked around to make sure you were making a more informed purchase, don't get salty just because you chinked yourself. ANON, COME! IT'S TIME TO TALK ABOUT YOUR POOR JUDGEMENT SKILLS! We...must be...better chink shills. More informed, more open to asking fir help, and willing to soend good money for ok products.
Did you grab one?
>>12120521Nope
>>12120521Got a Pocket Air Mini instead
What are the odds a konkr on sale price later on will be the same as the early bird price? $30 shipping hurts
>>12120502I did ask here, especially regarding the close proximity of the analog sticks to the buttons and d-pad. Of course, I naively assumed that at least one White male with normal-sized hands would lurk and respond in these generals and that they're not just a conglomeration of Chinese marketer bots, which you clearly belong to. Very retarded of me. The only answers I got to my questions were along the lines of >"Works on my machine">"I have no such issues">"Just grab a 40XXH. It's the king of PSX and under"Also, here's another issue NO ONE EVER FUCKING MENTIONED. The screen is not a flat 60.00Hz or 59.95Hz, pic related. This definitely causes judder. But even more so, you can't even force it down to 50Hz for PAL ROMS. So any PAL game is off limits, unless of course you're a tasteless swine with no basic quality standards whatsoever. Or you're a marketer who doesn't even use these things in the first place.Anyways, you should all unironically kill yourselves for being so blatant with your shilling. None of you actually plays games on these things and if you are, it's some jarpig and nothing that would require precise and timed inputs.
>>12120556I never experienced any of the problems you mentioned when I was taking pictures of Pokemon title screens on my 'held before putting it on the display shelf and buying a new device. Sounds like you're just using yours wrong.
Has any reviewer tested the Retroid Dual Screen with the Pocket Fit?If it works, it could be my endgame handheld.
>>12117468bunny must dieys origin
>>12120521no but it is interesting for the price and has me hopeful for what we'll be getting over the next couple years. I'm just waiting for something with full ps2/gamecube support and a 1080p 120hz oled screen for ~$150. everything beyond that I'm happy to stream from my pc.>>12120582>$250 for lcdlol. lmao.
>>12120582No but it should work perfectly fine. The Dual screen works on the Odin 2 as well. You just need to get the attachment for other handhelds.

>>12120760Nta but would android latency carry over since it's the same device?
>>12120826No, I'm pretty sure you can look up tests and see that the device has less input lag on Rocknix. Let me see if I can find one.

>>12120760I might go with one of those, but I heard the Linux support is spotty. Anyone here use it that can comment on it? The only video I can find is Russ and he's a little too shill prone for me to trust his stuff without a second opinion.

I've never had used an Android chinkheld beforeWhat's all this about different frontends the emulators on your system?
>>12120863>frontendsEssentially the Home Screen>emulatorsSome like Daijisho can automatically detect and (or otherwise be configured to) open a game to its assigned emulator/core when clicked on in the frontend rather than having to open the emulator app separately to open the game.
>>12120854Now instead of paying $300 to emulate up to 3DS and Wii, you can pay $500 for even less.
>>12120863ES-DE - the classic, hundreds of themes, pretty simple, scraping is good but long setup times, multidisc games you have to use an m3u file to combine into one, can only use one source (sd or internal)Beacon - simple but effective layout, some background and color options, simple to setup, scraping is pretty good can do steamgrid if you want, combines multidisc games automatically (just have to name them sensibly), multiple sourcesdaijisho - only used it once, was not impressed
>>12120840btw he tested this on a NES game (Little Nemo: The Dream Master). NES games usually have ~16-32ms (1-2 frames) input lag on real hardware + CRT. Now imagine trying to play this shit with 100ms+ of lag. A fucking NES game. Even the one additional frame on the Steam Deck would already be perceivable. I took a look at the raw video files Russ uploaded and you can FEEL the input lag just by watching it, you don't even need to play it. Absolutely disgusting. And now cue the paraplegic, fluorid-staring sub-85 IQ NPC retards who only play JRPGs loudly exclaiming >"Feels fine to me LOL"
what's the best handheld PC that isn't a steam deck? sick of android
>>12120908feels fine to me lol
>>12120908To be fair, CRTs are a little unfair to compare to when talking about handhelds. Linux handhelds are at least more or less equal to playing on real hardware on non-CRT monitors which is as good as you can hope for. That's why Android is the problem because then you start getting worse from there.
>>12120908Feels fine to me LOL

>>12121031tell jeffy I said hi
>>12120910Something with VRR probably. Trick is no one reviews those properly, so you're going in blind controls wise unless you can find one in the wild.
>>12118385>Also the RP5 is compatible with the DS screen addon while the RP4 Pro is not.why would you be able to provide such exacting specs for the device screens and then just completely get this part wrong, are you being intentionally misleading
>>12120623nta but r/sbcgaming is run like shit and people like reddit game uncle make the chinkheld circuit worse all in the name of updoots and kickbacks
>>12120248If it isn't for nostalgias sake or you have tiny hands go for a horizontal one
>>12120556>normal-sized handsIt's a tiny handheld. Did you watch at least one video review before coming here and blaming users for your shitty ass decision? You are retarded btw coming here to complain. Fuckin idiot, you get what you fuckin deserve
>>12120919>CRTs are a little unfair to compare to when talking about handheldsIf all we talk about is input latency, then no, it's not unfair to compare modern LCD screens to CRTs. A modern 60Hz display has ~10ms of lag, a 144Hz one usually around 4ms. By modern I mean released in the last 10 years. Old Dells like the U2414H from 2013 had a measured input lag of ~8ms. This includes signal lag + pixel response time. I also distinctly remember someone testing the Switch dispay and it came out at ~10ms. People are still traumatized from early LCD *TVs* which had outrageously high latencies even in Game Mode but display latency has been pretty much solved, even for modern TVs.Black levels, motion clarity, pixel response time, yeah, that is not a fair comparison.>Linux handhelds are at least more or less equal to playing on real hardware on non-CRT monitorsNot even close, have you even looked at the image? >RP5 ROCKNIX 75msx86 handhelds with enough power for run-ahead are the only way. Again, the latency added by a modern LCD display is not the decisive factor.
>>12121128>It's a tiny handheld.It's not even tiny, pic related.

>>12120854Incredible…
>>12121143>>RP5 ROCKNIX 75msThat just shows that RP5 isn't the best option in regards to latency. Pure Linux handhelds like the Miyoo Mini Plus, 35XX, etc. are around 48-50ms.

>>12121475Some of that is down to the lack of GPU acceleration on those IIRC.

>>12121762It's just gonna be a portal with a smaller screen and shittier layout.
>>12121761Yes
>>12121773And most importantly, more lag.
>>12121762I highly doubt RP6 is a clamshell
I don't really get the hype for the Thor. It has way too many flaws and better alternatives will come out in no time.
>>12122027If anything they're probably just going to announce a mini 2 and an RP5+They can't really upgrade without stepping on the Odin's toes at this point.
>>12122136I would be okay with a proper 4:3 mini 2, preferably without glass panel
>>12122136Hell, when you look at the Odin 3 and RP5 side by side, they look almost identical from the photos.

>>12122123It's cool for being the first of its type at a decent price. Personally I'm waiting until something better in that price point comes along, until then I'll get the NigDS unless it turns out shitty.
im glad that vertishits are at least finally done being made
>>12122191Because I like it.
>>12122165ATARI SWEEP >>12122269The GBC form factor will never die.
>>12122123It's the first "cheap" dual screen handheld. And I emphasize the air quotes because $300 isn't actually that cheap. AYN and to a lesser extent retroid have somehow gaslit and cultivated an entire base of consoomers into thinking their products are "premium".
>>12122191A good frontend is the difference between having a phone with glued on controls that you futzed around with until it could play emulated games, and a video game system. The former is what you get by on when you don't have any better options. The latter is the destination where we all desire to ultimately find ourselves.
>>12122123agree
Why do people care about playing Gamecube on these things so badly? I can't name a single game worth playing on it.>b-b-but Sunshit!>a-and Shit Taker!!Don't care. 3DS is shit too.

>>12122332>>12122343meanwhile, you can play a different playstation 1/2 game everyday for 40 fucking years
>>12122269Just you wait. Once the t618 reaches 3326 pricing, vertislops will rule again>>12122332The same reason they carw about ps2 and dc. Played it when they were younger and want to play it on handheld or never played it before and justify purchasing a powerful handheld wihtout playing android games.
>>12122343The twin snakes and re0.I don't actually know any other GC games.

>>12122349These cheap handhelds barely last 40 days.
>>12122356name one thing you like about the gamecube library.
>>12122349Let's be honest here, while PS1 and PS2 have tons of great games, a large portion of their libraries are filled with shovelware.
>>12122363>sure it has great games.....but think about all these other games you don't care about! What about them? I only play what I like.

>>12122362No.
>>12122365What I'm saying is that you could play a new Playstation game every day for 40 years, but a big part of that would be shit.
>>12122384That's fair I guess
i miss vertikino
>>12122413DS is a vertical.
>>12122349>people like popular thing>buy what if I something else?Ok nerd
So I take it that Ayaneo is the new budget king, dethroning Anbernic?
>>12122416Wide clamcels are horizonals. The only vertical ds is the 2ds
>>12122165>$180Waiting until it hits Woot.com for half off
>>12122431They're both whether you like it or not. The red mage of handhelds.
>>12122428seems like it
>>12122428Anbernic is looking for a way to put two H700s in their under $100 devices. Once they succeed, not even Ayaneo and Mangmi combined would be able to beat them.
>>12122445Hold a vertical. Now hold a wide clamcel. They're completely different. An sp shaped clamshell on the other hand, is clearly a vertical
>>12122285>handhelds didn't have menus with icons you had to touch to get into software???
>>12122516>Hold a person. Now hold a fat person. They're completely different.Not really
>>12122428Kinda? It's not going to be $70 forever, and once it's back up to $100, that's less of an easy choice for people on super strict budgets or who literally just want 8 & 16-bit games who can easily find H700 systems in all shapes and sizes for $35-$45. And they'll be sharing the space with Mangmi regardless, because some people will want a 16:9 screen. I do hope Anbernic feel that way though, might be the exactly kick in the ass that they need to finally roll out their next generation of budget systems around the same level of performance.
Is there a generally accepted place to find Wii games anymore? Most of my sources have dried up.
>>12122532Anbernic needs to put out a RP2S successor.
I have no idea how you guys can play in chink handhelds. Their buttons and dpads are always terrible compared to first party stuff.
>>12122538the roms plebbit pinned post
>>12122554Ok
>>12122519I don't know why you're babbling about irrelevant shit like touchscreen icons, but that other post was saying "open the emulator and click your game". Vita is a perfect example of real video game systems not doing that. The games are right there on the homescreen. You don't have to open an emulator or anything else to get to them. There's only one step: pick your game. That's it. An emulation handheld would naturally have your system selection up first, of course. But you still won't have to, for instance, open up Retroarch and then pick your system and then your game. You won't have to launch Dolphin and then have Dolphin's own individual menu to pick your game from which is different from ReDream which is different from BSNES. The frontend has all your systems and all your games in the one main system interface that you don't have to launch into, it's just always there, which lets you go from home screen to game with nothing else in between wasting your time or breaking up the experience and making it all fill duct taped together. Your system selector/games also won't be on the same homescreen as a web browser, Youtube, text messaging client, file browser, etc all fighting for space as if they're equals. On a proper video game frontend, your games are the main focus, dominating the home screen. Everything else is available and you can get to it, but it'll all be tucked out of the way in a corner, not pretending they're each of equal importance to the retro games on your retro game system.THAT is why you use a frontend instead of just launching an emulator from Android like a retarded retard.
>>12122554Anbernic dpads tend to be alright, but I hate how everything has tiny face buttons now. The rg300 has bigger face buttons than every retroon product and that was a vertical. Ayaneo shrunk their face buttons too.
>>12122563It’s off putting. I’d rather use a vita or 3rd than anything chink handheld>>12122573I’ve only used one of their devices and the dpad was just okay. At least it wasn’t like an 8bitdo controller shit quality
>>12122581Ok.
>>12122581Which anbernig? Anbernic tends to switch up their dpad formula with every release for some reason. Telescopic controller makers do the same thing even when they get it right.
So I have access to both and don't mind configuration, should I use Daijisho or ES-DE on my Retroid Pocket 5?
>>12122621ES-DE
>>12122621Matter of taste, personally I prefer Daijisho. The selection screen is nice and I like having the page where you can post shortcuts to apps and games.
>>12122621There's also Beacon Launcher and Console Launcher, both which have gotten better recently.
>>12122592It was the ANBERNIC RG351V
>>12122631Daijisho hasn't been updated in almost 2 years, hasn't it? I feel like there's still a lot he could have done to make it look cleaner. Funny enough, MagicX's Dawn Launcher/XU Retro's Aurora Launcher is kinda what I want. Uses Daijisho as a base but makes it look cleaner and slimmed down.
>>12122649That dpad is indeed just okay, but what made you go for a vertical?
>>12122656I like it as-is but I'll look into those ones, thanks.
>>12122658Grew up with a gameboy and prefer that style because of it

You guys were shilling the pocket air mini saying its perfect for ps2 and gamecube but the performance looks ass. You all said buy it over the Mangmi but the Mangmi can play psp and 3ds/ds along with everything the pocket air can minus really lightweight gamecube games.

>>12120556You are such a fat stupid fucking retard holy shit. Firstly because life hates you, the chinese boy that put the device together screwed the PCB too tight, open it realign the membranes and screw it in with a normal amount of pressure and the dpad will be fine. You have no idea what retroarch is reporting there because youre so damn fat and stupid. The screen is 60hz retard, estimated screen refresh doesnt mean what you think it means. You need to be on rocknix or muos, stock has a bunch of issues in general. All you do all that I need you to kys

Do any anons here own a Thor? Are you enjoying it or do you have have concerns?
>>12122824I got mine earlier this week but I've had little time to use it thanks to work (amazon also fucked up sending me my sd card). Buttons aren't bad but aren't amazing. Dual screen results in some funny stuff with having more apps/config shit open at the same time and is actually pretty nice for when you are setting stuff up (have emulator config in one screen, file browser in another, web browser on one screen settings on another, etc) but if you are playing a game on one screen and the other is just sitting there you may accidentally swipe the edge of the screen with your thumb, the system will move the controller 'focus' to that screen and suddenly you can't control the top, so you may want to turn off a screen you aren't using if you've got big/long fingers.

Is it weird to prefer playing old games on my R36S over my Steam Deck? I dunno, the tiny gameboy size just feels more comfy
>>12122901Old games had bigger fonts and stuff since they couldn't be as detailed, so they look pretty good on a smaller screen. Plus there's the nostalgia factor and the fact that older console games even look kind of at home as handheld games what with later handheld graphics looking like past console graphics.
>>12117397It's got the same single hinge design as the pocket flip 2, which will probably crack after 4 months. Such is the life of a flipfag.

>>12122990The one I bought for my New 3DS in 2015 still works perfectly.
I'm going on a long ass trip in december, should I just get a thor and load it up with games so I'll never be bored?
>>12122994Personally I'd wait for some revised version of a Thor unless you've got enough money that you don't care and you really like dual screen games. Otherwise I'd go cheaper. Depends on what console gen you plan to play the most.
>>12122994That depends on what games you plan on playing. The mean problem with the Thor and even the Ayaneo Pocket DS is that their controls are inherently limited by the clamshell form factor with two screens, so your wheelhouse is basically just 3DS/DS/PSP/Dreamcast. Anything that requires two analog sticks just isn't going to be comfortable, nevermind the fact that the D-pad is situated in an uncomfortable position for retro games.
>>12123005>>12123010Hmm in that case I'll just be happy with my RG35XX then until something better comes along.
if I just want to play switch (super Mario rpg, it's retro mods!! but a few graphical glitches when opening up menu in flip2) should I get a switch2 or handheld x86 PC? never owned a nintendo product before, haven't paid for games since ps1/ps2 games
>>12123028switch2 is extremely expensive if you factor in game prices, mario games sell for way more than they should. a handheld pc would be a better investment since you can pirate anything you want. devices stronger than the steam deck can even do ps3 emulation.
>>12123041yeah prices are ridiculous, I understand they're pretty much the same as they were back when I was a kid (inflation) but I only really bought 2nd hand games, I think FF7 I got new
>>12123028You may want to get a used Switch. The Switch 2's issue is that while it does support backwards compatibility and can run many games better, it's not done with the same architecture. It instead uses some form of emulation or "translation layer" or something, which basically means there's not really proper battery efficiency that you'd hope for. Not to mention that those things are probably going to get a good modding scene in the long run.Alternatively you may want to invest in any x86 handheld gaming PC, but always be aware that the battery life on those things aren't going to be good if you plan on playing current gen slop, even if you dial in the settings to their lowest with upscaling and FPS caps.
>>12123053>uses some form of emulation or "translation layer" well shit, didn't know that, not great
>>12123057Its not helped either by the fact that the Switch 2 has a pretty middling screen. An 8" 1080p 120hz panel sounds good on paper compared to the 6.2" 60hz panel used on the OG Switch, but apparently it suffers from ghosting/blurring issues which come as a result of running 60hz games on a 120hz panel. And not only do Switch 1 games run at 60hz but they also struggle to hit 720p in portable mode, often relying on dynamic res at sub native targets. So it'll probably be less flattering to Switch 1 games and retro collections on Switch compared to just grabbing a Switch OLED, there's bound to be a piracy/modding community for those devices anyways.Alternatively any number of handheld PCs will let you pirate shit and have a lot more functionality, since you can hook them up to displays via USB-C to HDMI.
>>12123028Deck but also kys for only coming to this thread for shitch
>>12122249Yeah the color shaders included with RA are significantly more accurate than the built in color correction options in mgba and gpsp
>>12122874>50hz Its not a variable refresh rate screen you fat fuck. RA's solution to europoor trash is more than good enough, it's literally not a problem. The games run at the correct speed at 50fps or whatever. >>12122820Kek not ESL just very sleep deprived. You always have to expect the need to fix things with chinkhelds. The 40xxH has a very good dpad and is one of the few 'nigs that I haven't needed to open up to address diagonals. The other is the 477MI had to go quite far with the 34xx for example
477m has a nice screen.
>>12123073thanks for your posts. Might just get an oled or maybe I just hold on to my money
Where are the SD7+ G3 handhelds?
Thoughts on the lite version of the ayn thor?Is it enough to play the 3ds pokemon and fire emblems?
>>12123173I have seen worse chips than the SD865 with les ram than the thor lite play the 3ds pokemon games at full speed (other than unavoidable shader comp stutters)

Which windows game emulator/compatibility layer would I want to use on my RP5 to play some simple indie games?
To compete with the ayaneo, anbeneig is selling the 476h for 80 new in china. Chinks are not fucking around anymore. Expect crazy shit from powkiddy too in November

RG35XX plus or miyoo mini plus (or something else?) if I just want a something simple for playing GBA/GBC on the couch?I have big hands, so I'm guessing the 35 is more comfy, though does it even matter for quick sessions? And I keep seeing people recommending the miyoo just for Onion, but is there nothing comparable for anbernic (and is stock really that bad)?
>>12123713Anbernic all the way
>>12123470>phone controller cost as much as a RP4 ProWtf?
>>12119374anyone?
>>12123713RG40XXV sounds better since it's bigger and about the same price
>>12123748Personally, I'm not impressed by the Thor. If I were going to spend that much on a handheld, I'd pick a more comfortable single screen one unless I wanted a dedicated 3DS device. In any case, wait a few days for Retroid announcement before deciding.
OH NO NO NO THOR BROS????

>>12119374Also, might be a bad idea in general to get a chinkheld for gacha as they don't get Android updates, don't know how often that crap drops legacy versions.

>>12123897Can that pile of shit even run a single portmaster game?
>>12123073>Switch 2 has a pretty middling screen>apparently it suffers from ghosting/blurringThe display has a 33ms pixel response time because Nintendo implemented no overdrive for muh 10 minutes more of battery life. It might be possible to fix in a software update but they probably won't. Any regular 60Hz IPS display from the last 10 years has around 8ms of average g2g response time.There is nothing "middling" about this screen, it is straight up garbage. It's the most obvious indication that Nintendo hates their fans, it is 100% indefensible, there is zero reason for a multi-billion international company to let such a glaring oversight happen. It's a humiliation ritual, they get off on this shit, probably part of some occult ritual to accelerate the emergence of the Antichrist.

>>12123816AYNbros got CHINKED again...
>>12123086>Its not a variable refresh rate screenNo shit, but EVERY LCD has alternative display modes communicated by protocols like EDID. GammaOS was able to add 50hz, 40hz, & 30hz on the Retroid Pocket Mini. But I guess since these mobile displays do not use EDID and rather some proprietary one, it's not that easy. That's why I said you'd be a tech wizard if you could show me 53.2Hz because such arbitrary refresh rates are usually not a listed mode in a display, a 50Hz mode however always is.>RA's solution to europoor trash is more than good enough>The games run at the correct speedWhat solution? It's not about the correct speed it's about judder. Remember how the Playstation Classic Mini shipped with PAL ROMs while outputting 60Hz? Yeah, judder.>The 40xxH has a very good dpadIt doesn't as I demonstrated. Even Shill Game Corps pointed that out while praising the 40XX Vs dpad>you fat fuckI'd fucking destroy you IRL>>12123991You're not wrong, I should've just gotten a steam deck and be done with it. I wanted something small and cheap and this one was the most shilled however. Having spent a little more time now with the 40XXH I guess I'd be really happy with a RG Cube shell with a >4" 4:3 screen and either no analogs at all or a side-by-side layout like on the steam deck.
>>12123816Will the RP6 use the same screen as the Thor and Odin 3? I don't want burn in. Is KONKR 8gb the better choice?
>>12121031>heh sorry kid heckin mature adults like me love paying extra taxes>>12122738why would i give a shit about chinese slaves
>>12123816There it is. The Thor's Monkey's Paw. I fucking knew there was going to be one.>>12123834>>12123874No one ever reported problems on the RP5/Flip 2's or the Odin 2 Portal's OLED screens. Seems like the new one they got for the Thor and the Odin 3 is just a really bad panel that they didn't test out first.
>>12124113Also I'm sensitive to PWM so I had to get rid of my Steam Deck OLED
>>12124113If you don't mind falling for the glass panel meme, the Konkr might end up being the better choice. It'll definitely be the better choice compared to the RP6 just on the fact that it'll have options for more powerful chipsets.
the hype is real for RP6
>>12124113The konkr screen looks really good for an lcd panel.
>>12124130Colors still look better on OLED.
>>12124063They say you can turn your 2D game into 3D. I don't know, don't games have to be made with special software? I don't think 3DS games were just made with 2D in mind and there is a magic tool that just turns it 3D. Or is it really just an optical illusion thing by overlaying color channels or some shit?
>>12124063holy fucking xbox heugalso I really don't think anyone was chomping at the bit for 3d games, anyone who owned a 3ds will tell you that at best it's a fun gimmick for 2 minutes whenever you start up a new game and that's about it
>>12124176There are some monitors with this tech that do the same (Samsung Odyssey 3d). Apparently it works alright but the effect doesn't look as good as people who mod games individually and tweak them to work with 3D
>>12123901He just talked about it. He says it's image retention because the Thor is using a "worse" OLED panel compared to the retroids but it's not burn in as far as he knows.
>>12122249finally, good gba colors
>>12124137There's nothing inherent to OLED which makes it better at displaying colors. Quite the opposite in fact, where high-end LCDs can display significantly more vibrant colors than OLEDs because the latter simply can't get bright enough to reproduce the very brightest shades. The only reason OLED chinkhelds tend to look better is because the quality floor for LCDs is much lower and all these companies are scraping the bottom of the barrel for the cheapest panels they can find.
>>12124262>>12123816>>12124120>>12124120Image retention isn't burn in. Go play Contra especially those third person stages and it'll happen on all modern devices
>>12123816THANKS FOR BETA TESTING
>>12124262>Pay $300 for a premium handheld>Get a worse panel than the cheaper RP5The absolute state of shills.
>>12124317>$300I don't think anyone is getting less than a pro
>>12124307doesn't happen on good screens.not on my phone (oled), not on my laptop (lcd 144hz), not on my brick.
>>12124307>Go play Contra especially those third person stages and it'll happen on all modern devicesDoesn't happen on my shitty IPS monitor. This sounds like severe cope.
Would you buy the odin portal 2 or the odin 3?mmm
What form factor would RP6 have?
>>12124381Odin 3 is an ergo regression, therefore Portal. >>12124421Exactly the same but with Odin's 120hz OLED.
>>12124262This does not bode well for an RP6.
>>12124431And by Odin's I meant Thor's. >>12124462Yeah.
>>12124262I've never once noticed any image retention on my Flip 2.
>>12124184Some games like SM3DLand and KIU exploit it well, some sections are going to play like ass without the 3d perspective.
You guys are overreacting about the screen
>>12124476That's because you don't play video games.
>>12124525cope harder thor nigger
>>12124337>>12124347>>12124337Happens even on the Steam Deck. Stop overreacting
>>12123713Neither. Miyoo has a crappy chipset and no good firmware options (yes that includes Onion, it sucks less than stock but it does suck) 35XX Plus is the least comfortable in my experience. On the whole they're okay, but TrimUI Brick, 35XX Pro, and 40XXV are all going to be better options. If you have great big baseball mitts and aren't going to be taking it places anyway, I'd say get the 40XXV.
>>12123808alright thanks! and i mainly wanted it for the ds and 3ds emulation since nds xl cant run romhacks well and crashes all the time and ds games on the 2dsxl looks like shit. same with 3ds games on the 3ds. i’ll wait and see what the retroid/anbernig dual screen console looks like.
It's here, what do
>>12124723Oh no no no
Is Anbernic seriously putting vita sticks on the Nig DS? I thought they already moved on to using good sticks?
>>12124723dont touch it, its gonna get so smudgey
>>12124734The sticks on the Nig are an afterthought, it's meant as a cheap DS (not 3DS) machine first and foremost.
>>12124723>>12124734Just get a NDS ML instead.

I really hate how shitty retroarch is about handling ingame saves and memory cards.
>>12124063>The 3DS turns 15 soon
I'm gonna try and figure out DS emulation and see how bad the input lag is, wish me luck bros
>>12124649shit screen.i just left f-zero climax running for 5 minutes on my phone (xperia 5 ii) and trimui brick and the map didn't got burn-in. no shaders or frame blending enabled.i could probably leave it for longer and it would not matter. if it happens, it happens in minutes.if i do the same with my IPS gba it does get burn-in for a while. it does not happen on my ITA gba.i believe it also happens on the rg300x, but i can't get bothered to take it out to test.
Konkr 8gb or RP6?
>>12124649it happening on other oleds isn't an endorsement
>>12124803This would be awesome for watching F1. You could have the stats on the bottom screen the whole time.
>>12124846Retroarch in general is shitty at most things. I still use the gx emulators on my wii for most retro
>>12125052if you don't play retro games on handhelds, why are you here?
The Thor is the dream handheld of the ADHD zoomer

really hoping gameboy style handhelds start using recessed sticks like the thor so they can actually be pocketed
>>12125115The buttons are good though, I like TrimUI's dome switches on the d-pad and face buttons. Makes them feel higher quality than other handhelds at its price point.

>>12125354Deoends. Do you like being able to play maybe half of all 3DS games? Because the emulator still isn't all that.
>>12125356yeah, guess i'll stick with original hardware then
>>12124803How's the ergonomics? Did you get the grip?

>>12124747It’s just a shame that there doesn’t seem to be a way to have DS MLs with screens of the XL.
>>12123263>rp2s I've been waiting forI know how it feels bro, it was too good for this world. Unironically the only chinkhelds that are comparable ergonomically are the rp4p (too wide but same hand feel) and the rp mini v2 (glass makes it fragile and you have to understand scaling)At least the mini has excellent gcn and ps2 so it's a legitimate upgrade.
i'm buying the pocket air mini right this momenttalk me out of it

>glass screen BAD!!!>why?>when i slam it with a baseball bat it shatters!you niggas can not be serious
>>12124649TO BE FAIR F-zero games flicker their sprites a lot which causes retention on most screens
