Can the xu zero 28 do Dreamcast well with gammaOS? N64?
I just got a wusd r36s. What can i do to make it run psp/n64/ps1 games better. I buyed it to be of able of play parasite eve and silent hill on in bed and it of not run ps1 games very well.
why would i ever need anything other than the portal, this is the perfect handheld considering i carry around a laptop bag already
>>12125728Silent hill should be no problem on that https://handhelds.wiki/R36S_Guides_Tutorials_HowTos
>>12125730You don't need more than a PSP.
>>121257533326*
Consoomed XU zero 28
>>12125772*3128
>>12125779mini zero 28 is great, I really like how quiet the buttons are and it's surprisingly comfy for how small it is, it's become my ps1 and below console of choice despite its size
>>12125772>>12125786You don't need more than 128mb of RAM.
>>12125791Yeah seems like what I wanted out of my rg28xx. I love that thing but the dpad is miserable and so are the buttons. Simply too small and sensitive
Every day I wake up and thank god for blessing us with the ROCKCHIP 3326. Everything humanity has achieved throughout the ages: discovering fire, the bronze and iron ages, countless wars, the water peoples, dozens of empires, going to the moon and back; all pale against the moment the 3326 was born. It's only been downhill from there.
>>12125834If you love it so much why don't you marry it?
>>12125727>N64yes, although I did drop it to half rez. Still has issues with Pilotwings 64 but so does everything I guess
>>121256923DS, my favorite old school retro handheld.
>>12125846This not the 3DS. Stop triggering me
>>12125830hope you like it, my only complaint is the shoulders hurt to use after an extended time so i usually don't play games that utilize them heavily
>>12125692I am justified. I just bought an MSI Claw A8 BZ2EM. Fully AMD. Not Intel. Making sure you know that. I am Holy and Righteous. x64. Full Instruction Set. Full Linux. Any Linux. Drivers Built into the Kernel. MSI Claw 8 AI+ A2VM is tainted and Un-Holy. Redditors seethe. Handheld users who use ARM are cucked. Locked bootloader. Locked device tree. Peasants, unable to afford a true x64 device that can run anything.Shackled to Sly and Devious Chinamen, not based Taiwanese Republic of China truth tellers.How's that ANBERNIC, Ayn, Miyoo, LMAOing at your cuck life and locked device tree and lack of software compatibility.
>>12125882You should have bought an 'eck instead.
>>12125890I am justified. I am Holy. Your choice is bad. My choice superior.
>>12125898'eck
>>12125901Neutral. Ambivalent. Not Intel. Not ARM. Still not superior.
>>12125901Sorry I expect my handheld to be a handheld I can actually carry around and hold in front of my face comfortably
>>12125882the only problem I have with these handheld PCs is that they're all ugly as fuck cringe machines. At least the steam deck looks ok but MSI, Lenovo and Asus are the equivalent of Korn, limp bizket and slipknot
>>12125908Have you tried not being a cripple.
>>12125908Lifting weights and exercise fixes this Un-Holy degeneration.
why are all pc handhelds the size of a skateboardi just want a slightly smaller deck for my small hands (thanks for the shitty genes mom)
>>12125914it's okay i have big hands and the deck still feels retarded to use
So how satisfied are you with your Thor?
>>12125946I'm thinking about getting one, or a Retroid Flip 2, to use on flights for watching movies as well as vidya.
So what's the deal with Azahar vs Citra MMJ?I've heard repeatedly that Azahar is the most accurate and therefore superior emulator and that MMJ is worse because it relies on hacksBut does this really mean anything in practice? I tested some games in Azahar and MMJ on my phone as well as my N3DSXL. But I swear MMJ looked and played the same as on my N3DS . If anything MMJ ran smoother than Azahar. It even solved some UI scaling issues in Fire Emblem and Etrian Odyssey that were present in Azahar. What am I missing exactly? What exactly is so bad about these "hacks"?
>>12126017I like my flip a lot, don't really feel the urge for the thor at all desu
>>12126101Azahar is in development by the original Citra devs while Citra MMJ isnt. That's pretty much it.
>>12126104Yeah I'm 50/50 on them and probably won't make a decision until next year anyway. If I'm being honest the second screen on the Thor probably isn't going to see much play, since I'm mostly looking to play PS2 and arcade games.
Yes, I get it, >mediakek, but does this Gamehub thing actually run not 3D heavy stuff on T618? Would low end unityshit be a tall order?
>>12125946love mine, only bad thing so far is MelonDS DS is being a bitch and crashing randomly
I think I like my Retroid Pocket 5 more than my Switch 2 right now. It's just the perfect size. You think I could get Sea of Stars running on Gamehublite on this thing?
Has the chinkheld community ever be so thoroughly, aggressively chinked and shilled as by the Thor?
>>12125882how is that battery life?do you get to play anything at all in 2 hours?
>>12125914'nigg win600.
>>12126416I thought that sucked ass
>>12126416The cheapest SKU of the Ayn Loki was just a better Win600 back when it was around.
>>12125914 (me)i just found out that antec sells rebranded ayaneo slides for under 400€, its just the size i was looking for and its got a beefier chip than the steam deckanyone have any experience with this one? according to retro catalog it can emulate literally everything including ps3
>>12126418>>12126463it does suck, but it's small and honestly i would use it for 200X pc gaming.
>>12125913I can bench 190. Deck form factor still sucks. Odin portal is the perfect size and weight.
Anything bigger than a GBA SP/NDS is too big.I got a retroid pocket 2+ and that one already feels too long for me. GBA SP was the perfect handheld form factor, but I understand the need to compromise for the aspect ratio of more modern games.I already hate how big the switch is when undocked, never getting a rp5, that shit is looong
>>12126584my tolerance goes up to vita size.anything is too much, even the switch lite.
>>12126418>>12126463It's legitimately good.
>>12125914Its to compromise for a multitude of reasons, like having a big enough screen for modern 3D games, a big enough battery because of the power draw associated with some APUs + to fit the demand of brainlets trying to run modern AAA games on portable devices, and also to compensate for a good enough fan when said device starts to rapidly heat up.
I don't know guys. Why don't you just buy those phone accessories. Kinda steamdeck like but with a device you already own.
>>12126618I want a dedicated place for my games, I don't want to waste my phone's battery, and the controller thingies are always ugly with your phone, wonky and never work the way they should
Konkr 8GB 8G3 or RP6?
>>12126650>all-glass front on bothNeither of them
Is an retroid 4 pro worth picking up? would it be able to run PS2 or GC?
>>12126706If you can get it used for $80-100
>>12126650Flip 3
>>12126626>>12126618yeah, I tried doing that and it's so cumbersome having to remove/setup the controller all the time plus it looks so ugly, drains the battery etc.Happy I got the flip2 and decided to stick with it. I really is a great form factor, excellent color scheme (snes US), OLED screen and the button layout feels perfect. Only issue is the hinge but I'm very gentle with mine. Thanks to all the bros who convinced me not to get a switch2, seems that would have been a stupid decision. Better to be happy with what you've got than waste it on garbage.
>>12126706Adequately but not amazingly. I'd still be playing mine even after the 5 came out, but I needed that Flip 2.
>>12126354Battery life is Righteous. You assume SBC, ARM, more power efficient. You are wrong. You do not understand TDP control down to 5w or lower. x64 supremacy. https://www.techpowerup.com/340779/amd-claims-arm-isa-doesnt-offer-efficiency-advantage-over-x86
>>12126821>In a now-deleted article from ComputerBase, AMD claimedHmm...
>>12126821You can just say how long the battery lasts if it's so impressive, right?
>>12126826>>12126832I have said as you say before. Battery life is righteous. My choice is superior. Yours inferior, Un-Holy.
>>12126650We don't know shit about the RP6, but it will probably going to be raw power vs oled screen.I'm going with the Pocket Fit unless Retroid does something interesting with the RP6.
>>12126870>Android 14.DOA
>>12126886isn't it 16 that doesn't let you sideload apps?
>>12125692You guys ARE actually gaming on these things, right? Post completions.

i miss Brother Zhou releasing 2 h700 devices a month
>>12127050He ran out of different form factors to put it in.
So, I only want to buy one handheld. No interest in collecting.Should I go ahead and spend $250 if I want "perfect" fifth gen and earlier?
>>12127089Only fifth gen? Then you don't even have to spend that much.
>>12127016Streets of Rage 2, was ok
>>12127051They really didn't. They just lack imagination.Concepts that haven't been done.>3:4 aspect ratio screen>game gear nostalgia size and form factor>nomad size nostalgia size and form factor>nostaliga size and form factor for more niche handhelds (turbo express, etc)>handheld with rotating screen to switch between 4:3 and 3:4>handheld with controls on both horizontal and vertical sides >handheld with d-pad and analog stick that can swap/rotate placements>dual screen handheld that splits apart into two mini-handhelds for two players
>>12127091Even for N64?
>>12127089Get something with a 4:3 screen
>>12127102The Air X and the Pocket Air Mini cost less than $100 and can play N64, Saturn, DC and PSP at full speed. But if you're willing to spend that much, then get a 476H for one of the nicest 4:3 screens currently available plus full speed PS2 and GC.
>>12127016I only got mine like a week ago so I've gotten about halfway... maybe 2/3rds the way through Beyond Oasis. I didn't actually know much about it other than I heard people say it was good but wow, it's great. I'm glad I got this 6-button model to properly be able to have a Sega-style experience with it, too.
>>12126870What model of Konkr are you looking at?
>>12127097A Game Gear sized handheld of today could support a 4:3 screen size of 6.5".
>>12127158G3 Gen 3 12GB
How are the thorsisters holding up? How're you feeling?
>>12127051>>12127097Some easier ones are Miyoo Mini and Mini Flip competitors with the 28XX screen, a 40XX-SP, a 16:9 XX device, and various iterations of the slide concept. Really there's lots of things they could do.
can you guys recommend a handheld for me? i just want: >up to ps1 (ps2 would be cool but no deal breaker) >save state/load state buttons (or something configurable>relatively easy to stream from>~$200
>indiegogo changes it so you can't see shipping costs until end of campaign>90% of questions/comments on chinkheld campaigns are about shipping costsWhat did IGG mean by this?
What's the best budget gaming phone? I can't find anything good. Most don't even have SD card slots for expandable storage anymore or headphone jacks...Do any of you guys have a phone you really like for emulation?I want to be able to do PS2 and I need it to have an SD card slot. I'm willing to pay up to $500, but no more than that and preferably less.
>>12127347Motorola still makes good phones with SD card slots and headphone jacks, just got the G Stylus 2024 for $200 a few months ago. This is more /g/ related so go on their smartphone general, they have links to sites where you can filter all the features you need and find the phone that fits your checklist.
>>12127271Vertical or horizontal?
>>12127353Thanks Anon.
I hope rp6 isn't using the same shit top screen from the Thor. Seems to have some serious image retention issues.
what is the most big handheld with android as a OS?i'm talking about 7 or 8 inches
>>12127403Odin 2 Portal.
>>12127016>>12127049I beat Second on RP4P. The undisputed best job system in any JRPG imo.
>>12127097>They just lack imagination.This. Anbernic's one and only move is to just make an H700 version of something another company recently teased.
>>12127097>handheld with d-pad and analog stick that can swap/rotate placementsThis is the one I would want.>dual screen handheld that splits apart into two mini-handhelds for two playersThis could be interesting.
>>12127481Chinkheld buyers don't have friends
>>12127403Deck, bluestacks
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1VsxuAZWFw4
>>12127403you want the portal, it's the best handheld next to the RP5 until someone gets off their ass and makes emulators support newer cpus as well
How often do these chinkheld companies drop/revamp the physical design for the next version in the same line?I'm liking the design on the Pocket Air Mini so much that I'm considering getting two because I'm wary that a hypothetical PAM2 would radically change the handheld design (for the worse)
>>12127541I don't think RP2S even lasted a year
>>12127486Can confirm, they all died in the console wars
>>12127512>Xbox in 2025 be like
>>12127541>I'm wary that a hypothetical PAM2 would radically change the handheld design (for the worse)what do you mean?
>>12126578190 Grams? Un-Holy. I am justified. I just bought an MSI Claw A8 BZ2EM. Fully AMD. Not Intel. Not ARM, Not Odin Portal.
>>12127481What they really need is easy one-step wired two-player mode on these things. It can be done via USB-C.
How is Ayn Thor's build quality?The Achilles' Heel of the Retroid Flip 2 appears to be the hinge from comments here?
>>12126320Fuck, this thing is a fucking meme.>have to grab despywarefied lite version>requires cloudflare to work regardless, so if it's got something against your IP it just won't function, denying you the goddamn button to even add games>gotta set up a hotspot with my fffucking telephone to bypass cloudflare cucking me>still unreliable, solution is to just keep switching languages as it forces a restart until it goes through>once I finally get it running, I notice ge-proton is missingNever listen to anyone who claims x86 emulation on Android is viable.
>>12127097I'd be happy with a RG28XX V
>>12127820Apparently the silent revision that Retroid did to round out the corner that was cracking on the left hinge can also be seen on the Thor. They both share the same single hinge design, and it was about 4 months into the release before the Flip 2 started cracking.Maybe having that corner rounded out will prevent cracking by removing that stress point? We'll have to wait and see.
Digiblast throwback chinkheld when?
>>12127973no, gizmondo
>>12127958Sweet.I think I'm going to go for the Pocket5 for sure later.
Before going full FOMO and preordering the RP6, remember all the shit that Retroid pulled off this year.
>>12127648I mean if they do anything to it except fix the screen's response time or upgrade the SoC and battery
>>12128040The only way Retroid would entice me into getting the RP6 is putting 6 face buttons on it.
>>12128040>remember all the shit that Retroid pulled off this yearI'm a newfag to chinkheldsWhat have they done this year?
>>12128040What did they do besides the screen thing on the mini?I guess they fucked up the cable on the Dual screen thing, but they also sent out replacements.
>>12128225another year without the 2S
>>121282672X announcement tomorrow
>>12128278I worry they might have gotten the wrong message from/intentionally misinterpreted the reaction to the Mini being grossly overpriced and just ship a much weaker chip. Then you get the worst of all worlds: glass panel, limp speakers, performance coming short, no Linux compatibility.
Is it worth it to wait for the 11.11 sale on Ali for any Anbernic stuff now (eying a rg-40xxv)? Or is it the same prices are normal?
>>12128285I hope not cause the mini would be perfect if not for the glass panel and non 4:3 screen
>>12128293My experience with the last 11.11 is their savings were worse than other sales. YMMV.
>>12128225>>12128241The first batch of Flip 2 had a shitty hinge that cracked easily. They also announced that the RP4 Pro would be compatible with the RDS, but right before shipping began, they said it wouldn't be possible.
Is there any reason to get the Ayn Thor max over the pro?
>>12128338winlator
>>12127354horizontal is preferred but not a deal breaker as long as its comfortable
>>12127998Only if it'll psychically melt in my hands.
I wish the pocket mini v2 had a 120hz screen.Or the 477m had stacked shoulder buttons and analog trigger. Are 477m controls still viae for n64? Looks uncomfy.These are my top 2 choices, 3rd being my phone and Xbox controller with a clip thingy. I prefer Xbox controls. If I could buy a x86 7" tablet with a 120hz screen and could run ps2 I think I'd never post in hhg again.
I have an RG35XX Plus and want to play some arcade games on it, but there are no folders to add in the BIOS files. I have all the files on the Retroarch system folder, but I don't know in which folder I have to toss the files on the Anbernic's SD Card. Do I just toss the files in the same folder as the roms? Also, there's a HBMAME and a separate MAME folder, I will toss the roms in the latter.
>>12128581https://retrogamecorps.com/2022/02/28/retroarch-starter-guide/#Directory
>>12128594Thanks, will this work if I am setting this up to play with the Game option instead of Retroarch? I've noticed that when using Retroarch, the games run slower.
>>12128604I am not sure what you mean, but playing through a shortcut should yield identical effects to launching retroarch, if RA is your emulator of choice
So with these kinds of devices is it normal to just wipe all the emulators and bloat it comes with, or do you guys actually use the pre-installed software?
>>12128697If you're on Linux you use CFW.If you're on Android it pre-installs stuff you would have installed anyway and you get to choose what you want to keep.
>>12128697Among tech-savvy users it's typical to wipe it and install custom firmware. At the very least you remove all the emulators it shipped with and download newer versions.
>>12128627Don't worry about it. What I meant to say was that in this RG35XX Plus, when you launch it, you get the option to launch game through Game Rooms, which lets you select a system/console to launch games, or RA Games, which lets you launch them through RetroArch. I played Metal Storm on RetroArch using Crt Mattias as a shader and it was running too slow. As for the arcade games, I managed to get them to launch through the FBNEO folder, which I believe is Final Burn Neo. The games did not launch through the MAME folders for some reason, and I was unable to do anything with the BIOS files.
>>12128697every linux device I bin the SD card (unless it's kloxia). If it's anbernic, i'll install muos, powkiddy some form of batocera
>>12128697Pretty much. Linux devices, toss the included SD card, flash a custom firmware (preferably Knulli or something else that uses an EmulationStation frontend) and load up my games. Android, uninstall pretty much everything, download the newest version of Retroarch and any necessary standalone emulators, set up ES-DE, load up my games.
If i get a 'new' 3ds xl from japan, will CFW installation work to make it english or work with new zealand game cartridges?Followup question is where can i get replacement 3ds batteries and how hard is it to replace them?
>>121288233DS CFW makes it 100% region free regardless, but there's extra steps to region change a Japanese 3DS so that it has English language interface.https://3ds.hacks.guide/region-changing.htmlThe stuff it risks breaking like eShop and Pokémon Bank would be completely irrelevant now.As for replacement 3DS batteries, you can probably find non-OEM replacements on Amazon as your only option. Official batteries I doubt you'll find any more.Reminder to check your batteries in all your older handhelds and devices for swelling, I had the battery swell one of my 3DS systems and they're an explosion risk.
>>12128697i at least try stock firmware before going the cfw route so i have a point of comparison.some are good but come with terrible defaults. some others really improve with cfw.
>>12128040I'll be getting a Thor tomorrow unless they announce a cheaper retroid version. I still remember getting fucked for pre-ordering the Rp3.
>>12128867>This company fucked me over, so let me pay them anyway
Gamehub is a meme, the only thing that runs well is TBOI. Megabonk and Baltaro, everything else runs like dogshit despite everyone saying ROR2 works fine.
first step into handhelds today and very impressed. went for the G350, put on ArkOS and everything runs flawless. Tried FFT (with tweak hack) on PSP and it ran bad until I put frameskip 1 and we're in business. Skraper took fuuuucking ages though, like 3 hours. Very cool to see how far tech has come for handheld emulation; I rememer running Bleem! back in the day on the best PC I could afford and that was rubbish in comparison to today, heh. Again though, very impressed. Going to be a comfy winter ahead wrapped in bed playing through classic rpgs. And all for £37! Thumbs up. Any tips and tricks welcome, but it's running solid as hell right now.
>>12128885Scraper isn't supposed to take that long. How many games did you put in that thing?It might be worth just scraping games one by one as you go.
>>12128892Just under 2000 games, like 1800. I did box are and normalized videos, maybe that's why? I didn't mind too much though, I had the 350 charging and so when it finished, I had full batt.
>>12128872I played like 5 hours of Fallout 3 the other day.
>>12128896>1800 gamesjesus
>>12128927yeah I went through most systems and hand picked things. When I got to snes I just dragged everything over cause I couldn't be arsed. When I went through the collection I had things like fucking Barbie games haha and tons of sports games which I'll never play. I should've went through it carefully.
Where is the HARD cut-off for where these handhelds can't compare to desktop emulation? For the $250 price range.
>>12128989The PS1. Saturn and N64 need hack-y solutions for steady 60 fps performance.
Xbox and PS3 unless you really want to dual boot into linux to play Whacked!
>>12128989Saturn and N64 are rough unless you're bruteforcing your way through the issues with power. N64 can mostly be done, it's Saturn that's the big issue.3DS requires a decently beefy machine to get native performance and still has shader compilation issues plaguing it.PS2 in general is terrible on Android due to the version of PCSX2 it uses being extremely out of date. You can bruteforce some of the performance issues away but the emulation on Android is just bad compared to desktop.Gamecube can mostly be done with $200ish machines but it's not going to be stable with frame drops.Those are basically your markers, if you want to play any of those it's better off you just buy a Steam Deck for $100 more.
>>12128997Those are definitely not the hard cut-off. Those come with a massive amount of caveats.
What's a good Linux handheld thats as portable as a 3ds? Looking to do up to 6th gen
>>12125692whats the cheapest handheld emulation device with hall effect joysticks, capable of emulating PS2 games at at least, native resolution, without issues?

>>12129010>PS2 in general is terrible on Android due to the version of PCSX2 it uses being extremely out of date.Isn't PCSX2 open source? What's stopping someone from compiling it for Android?Shouldn't Vulkan be enough to abstract away the GPU hardware?
>>12128938I've been removing games, limiting main 5-7 systems to 20 games or under. Never gonna play them all
>>12129028native resolution, not 2x, not 3x, like many reviewers loooove to use and only talk about.
12 hours... Are we scared thorbros?? I think we got too cocky
>>12127958I think that does fuck allsome batches of the flip 2 seem to have less glue securing the metal hinge to the plastic frame so it slips eventually. re-gluing it yourself should be the definitive fix imo
>>12128278a 2s with nothing changed other than the SOCone can only hope
Brothers, I will endeavor to install gammaos on my shartui smart professional wish me luck on this journey

>>12129092The smaller it is, the more embarrassing it is. Looks like a woman's or child's toy.
>>12129092it's a lot gayer to pull out a clamshell than it is to haul a giant fucking gaming slab out of your pocket just to boot up yoshis island or ace combat
>>12129096Cope . steam deck like handhelds repel pussy and can't be concealed either .>>12129098Not a clamshell
>>12129108all handhelds repel pussy retard, women dont find someone playing games in public attractive
>zero discussion of ARMSX2I'm too busy messing with Xemu right now but I can tell you the one game that just wouldn't work on NetherSX2, Project Snowblind, is significantly less fucked on ARMSX2, but it is still fucked. Also the UI needs a lot of work and my home button is mapped to X for some reason.
>>12129112Thats why its nice to conceal them most of the time Call me insecure but i only like concealed carry children's toys
>>12129096>Looks like a woman's or child's toy.>Aka, exactly what a handheld isLol. Kek-lmao even>>12129098>it's a lot gayer to pull out a clamshell than it is to [Retroonyn cope]Not this time, chris
>>12129069406h unless you need linux.
>>12129049good luck brother
>>12129123Thanks for the suggestion but yes I am a freetard unfortunately.
>>12129062I ask because each time a reviewer mentions ps2 emulation glitches and slowdowns, they talk about higher than native, resolutions, never if it happens at native res, they just say 'it runs better' at native. What about the Odin 2 ?
Imagine playing a handheld in public instead of masturbating in public. Embarrassing

>>12129140Seems like it’s a bit taller than the rp5, better grip imoI think sticking with 5.5 is the right move
>>12129140>androidnope
>>12129140a dpad for ants?
>>12129151Fuck off already.
>>12129152The screen is 5.5 inches. That means the face buttons and d-pad are small as fuck.
>>12129140uh oh
>>12129157Sorry retroid employee, I shall stick to my 'eck and my H700 'bernic
I fucked up before o_o
>>12129140so its just a odin 2 with a smaller screen and worse button layout?
>>12129145>>12129152>>12129160Remember when we would get full-sized D-Pads and buttons with our handhelds?
>>12129140are the dpad and buttons smaller than the RP5?what the fuck
>GPD Win 4>GPD Win 5>Ayn Odin 2 Mini>Ayn ThorI'm a sucker for designs that emulate old handhelds.
>>12129140how good is the snapdragon g2 gen2 performance on ps2 emulators? I can't find any reviews of it yet
>>12129168How is the SD 8 Gen 2 compare to the G3 Gen 3? Can the Gen 2 emulate any Switch game at full speed?
>>12129167It's an odin 2 mini with retarded dpad position >>12129171Anbernig used to have big face buttons until they started to copy sneedyoo. At least retroid's face button's were always tiny as fuck.q
>>12129124android images are miserable to flash
Small HH = Big dick
>>12129165>>12129168>Glass meme againAnyways who is this for? I can't imagine those with the RP5, Portal, or Thor would consoom. At a certain point you've hit market saturation.
>>12129069477M easily Other than some small software issues that im hoping will be addressing by 'nig or maybe a gammaos build, it's near perfect. especially with odin 2 stick caps
>>12129190retroid are so fucking stupidjust release the 2s with better specs retards
Oh shiiit RP6 looks kino. Vita form factor and the return of front firing speakers and m1 m2 buttons
>>12129165>>12129168Isn't SD G2G2 ever-so-slightly better than SD8G2?Why did Retroid decide to make and release 2 very similar handhelds at the same time?
>>12129193The screen does look nice My biggest complaint about the 353m is the low resolution makes integer scalling very hard
>>12129207There is that new Kaktiqlz handheld coming out but I think it's only Japan.
>>12129168>1080x1920these retards can't even list the screen resolution correctly.yes, i know they do it because they "rotate" the display, but that is not something the end user should know about.
Is we getting a 6 face button Mini 2?
>>12129189can confirm.t. trimui model s owner.
>>12129140wow it looks fucking ugly
>>12129207>low resolution makes integer scalling very hard640x480 is more or less perfect for everything other than gba for gba just non-integer and use an interpolation shader
>>12129223It looks way better than the 5 which looks too long
>>12129165>>12129168Looking even more like the vita. 8/12 gigabytes of ram feels like it isn't too big of an upgrade tho. What will it cost? If its on par with/near the thor that's a total waste.
>>12129181>It's an odin 2 mini with retarded dpad position So a Vita with the correct d-pad position?
>>12129236why does the g2 look like the rp5?
I don't get it, is there a single cool feature on this device that hasn't been available on a bunch of devices for the last year or more? What even is better than the RP5 except processor? no 120hz?
>>12129245Activate the sissy energy within.
>>12129189Incorrect, but also rightT. Shartui dumbo and funkey s owner
>>12129140>got a RP5 for PSP >got a Thor for everything elseWhy would I need this?
>>12129236Why the inconsistency with which specs are shown?>specific CPU cores and GPU for G2 but not RP6>weight for RPG2 but not RP6>interfaces shown for RP6 but not RPG2Retroid get your shit together. It's literally the least you could do on a spec sheet to have standardized categories to show
>>12129243It is the 5. That's why the 5 got a price cut. The g2 is also only 10 bucks lower than the 6
>>12129241...Which is the odin 2 mini
>>12129236>no gamecube RP6really nigga
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbCB8K7R2EERelevant video
>>12129259You'll take Switch Lite colours and you'll like it
Looks like I'm going to have to wait for an Odin 3 Mini
>>12129254>t.
Yeah I'm thinking Ambernig won. Best 4:3, best value dual screen
>>12129272anbernic will destroy shitroid with the ds.retroid will never recover from shooting themselves in the foot like this
>>12128575Currently playing banjo on my 477MPretty comfy, especially with Odin 2 sticks
So as someone that haven't ought any of these yetIf I understand correctly the RP6 it is a $100 cheaper smaller 2 Portal with smaller buttons and a shittier layout right?
>>12129270But enough about the x28
>moorechip's ceo after telling chris that retroid and ayn are totally different companies
>>12129276yes and a much smaller screen
>>12129276>shittier layoutno one complained about the Playstation layout during the PSP or Vita days
>>12129285no one bought a psp or vita
>>12129286PSP outsold the 3DS (but software bombed because everyone pirated including third worldies)
>>12129286...Cried the wonderswanbro as he gets keked in relevancy by ngage chads.
>>12129286vita gen still exists on /vg/
>>12129293...Said vitagen itself which will soon be replaced by chinkheld general when the linux handhelds become too powerful and these threads get banned.
Does this mean the RP5 will be even cheaper now?
Did literally anyone but reviewers get the Aya Neo Pocket DS? Did it even come out for consumers?
>>12129301Yeh.>>12129303It's out in chinkland. Plenty of people on baidu have theirs.
>>12129272Anbernig is going to win purely because their devices don't cost $300.
Why does this general hate Retroid? It's not even a premium brand
>>12129308Popular bad
>>12129308I don't hate them I like my RP5
>>12129308Because they’re affordably good
>>12129309...Cried the retroon niggitor. As the h700 and t820 devices will always be more popular and betterer than anything sneedroid's ever made not counting the 2s.
>>12129308I stan for AYANEO
>>12129308Because they have repeatedly released $200 devices with build quality issues comparable to $60 devices
>>12129319works on my machine
>>12129323t. Russ
The rp6 looks really nice visually
>>12129168They should have called it Retroid Pocket Life
Nobody actually liked or appreciated the PSP or Vita when it was around desu
>>12129332ps handheld UIs were fucking vomit inducing
>>12129332I liked it but mind you, a segachad had to shart on my lap so I smell his buttnut everytime I fap. I can never play sonic again...
>>12129332I enjoyed my PSP but PS vitas were like $250 were I lived and they had no games miss me with that shit
>>12129335It's just android...
>>12129335Psp was fine, but the vita's ui was clearly swapped with the xperia play. Think about it. Neither device's ui make sense with what they are.
>>12129351It's because the vita, psp go, and xperia play were all going to be the same device at one point.
>>12129343the only game i've found worth emulating on the vita is spelunky and maybe hellzone
>>12129362What are you emulating on which doesn't already have spelunky natively?
>>12129362For me it was persona 4 golden, danganronpa 2 and dungeon travelers 2-2 but they all came to pc anyways so I didn't miss anything
>>12129367Wouldn't the only other emulation option be the switch version? There's no android spelunky HD port and ps3 and xbox emulation sucks.
>>12129308Overpriced trash. Has more QC and QA issues than handhelds half the price despite being marketed as a premium brand.

>>12129383I forgot only classic edition was on android. Doesn't help it has shit controller supporr for some reason.
>>12129385Now consider that all of these guys shill retroid nonstop. Follow the money, as they say.

>>12129385>>People still shill techdweeb even when he still does the voiceWhat's his real voice?>>People still shill russ even after he went completely insane when chicken passed awayWhat does this even mean?
Okay, thanks retroid, very cool.Ordering my Thor now, thanks.
>>12129308Never bought from them. The ones I wanted were sold out when they launched (like the 2S) so I went with Retroid instead when it was shilled on /v/ (351MP and then 406H).
>>12129405He's on Stubbs soi streams sometimes. His early videos are close to his acutal voice. Think jason from home movies but spergy

>>12129037>What's stopping someone from compiling it for Android?Go for it, anon.>no, I mean other peoplejej
>>12129405>What's his real voice? To my knowledge he sounds like that in real life, he just plays it up for YouTube. It was much worse in his older videos.

The RP6 looks based and vitapilled so I can see the appeal but what the fuck is point of the G2?
Honestly I want a clamshell so I'm waiting for the Retroid Flip 3.
>>12129236>not content with only competing against themselves with Ayn, Retroid is also competing with themselves directly>5G2 features a newer android than 6Retroid.......what the fuck are you doing?
How is it that /hhg/ has forever been in the dpad>stick layout camp but somehow with the release of RP6, everyone suddenly wants stick over dpad?
>>12129326Me too but they fucked up big time by releasing their magnum opus before the 6. I'm never going back now that I have a Flip 2.
>>12129434Reuse the 5's shell when they run out of 865's. They won't acutally run out. Just sn excuse
>>12129434For some reason Retroid seems to want to have Anbernic's output but with more expensive devices and even more redundant releases. I don't think they've even been waiting half a year between numbered releases lately but I could be wrong. Feels like 4 came out not that long ago.
>>12129442The G2 is a newer chip than the 8 Gen 2 so it supports newer versions of Android.
>>12129434Earlier this year Qualcomm announced that they were working with Retroid on a G2 Gen 2 device, so they probably have a contract with them. The new devices released or announced recently pushed Retroid to do something better, but they were still obligated to comply with the contract.That's my theory.
am I going to regret getting the Konkr g3 8gb?I mainly want to play ps2, maybe some switch and I’ll try out gamehub with light titles like Brotato or something
>>12129495why would you? konkr is an absolute beast for the price
>>12129308I wanted a retroid pocket 4 but I was allergic to it and sold it as a result.
>>12129498Because it looks like the 12gb runs switch really good but it’s $60 more
>>12129503the extra 4 gb ram wont matter except for window emulation
>>12129505How far can 8gb take you in windows emulation?
>>12129503Most Switch games run fine with 8GB of ram. Only the most demanding games need a bit more.
Can't you just allocate 4gb of storage as virtual ram to get 12gb?
>>12129385WICKED GAMER AND COLLECTOR is the only one of these faggots worth anything. At least he shows kino chinkshit famiclones Whats the point of a review if you're not gonna be critical about a device?

Thor first thoughts:Don't get the screen protector. The screen protector makes touch unusable.The system randomly wakes itself if you just close the clamshell. Need full power off.The top screen flexes hard enough that you can trigger the L3/R3 inputs.These fucking chingchongs has the control input registered as a xbox style HID...and then put the buttons on using the nintendo input scheme (likely for marketing, so now B is confirm, A is cancel, and so on and so forth.>overall rating9/10 chink me harder next time, I haven't even gotten to setup/play any ds/3ds games properly because I've been encapsulated by SRWA portable with the translation patch. I swear to god 8th ms wasn't in the original SRWA.
>>12129621>The system randomly wakes itself if you just close the clamshell. Need full power off.Didn't they fix this in an update?
>>12129621>B is confirm, A is cancelSo? As a longtime PS1 player, feels fine to me. I don't read the buttons before I press them.
>>12129236Everybody is saying RP6 is small but it's literally slightly bigger than RP5? Same screen size and buttons, rounder sides. DId people expect it to be Odin 2 Portal size?
>>12129659I'll never understand why Retroidfaggots keep asking them to be bigger when Ayn devices are right there.
What the best small linux handheld that'll play the DS Pokemon games at full or close to full speed
I really fucking hope the Odin 3 Mini doesn't fall for the all-glass meme like the RP6
>>12129521>WICKED GAMER AND COLLECTOR is the only one of these faggots worth anything.That guy knows jack shit. He takes the thing out of the package, does about an hour of fucking around, does extremely surface level commentary, and then resells the device on ebay and shits out another useless "review". What the fuck is wrong with you to even bring his name up here and praise him.
>>12129659Buttons and dpad look much smaller than the rp5
>>12129676>He takes the thing out of the package, does about an hour of fucking around, does extremely surface level commentary, and then resells the device on ebay and shits out another useless "review". But enough about Russ
>>12129682>people already complain about the small size of the buttons on the 5 and the Flip 2>make them even smaller
>>12129670I want to say RG35XXSP MuOS could do it but don't quote me on that

>>12129236I have no reason to care about those unless 8 Gen2 runs Linux, which means I'm probably impulse buying the RP5 before it gets discontinued, fuck. Where is the mortgage Mini anyway? >>12129621Don't they let you switch B and A? I think Retroid does, check handheld settings or whatever it's called on Ayn.
IT'S UPhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1c72y_mgWgA
>>12129213Yes, it is, rotation can cause issues.
ambernic ds any good?
>>12129723its all fucking shit, handheld gaming peaked with DMG-01 and Tetris.
RP mini v2 came, I had to mix and match 2 sizes of the o-rings from the etsy button mod, and steal some lube from my keyboard, but I finally got all of the buttons quiet and feeling good. Be very careful not to strip the screws if you open yours. Luckily they're all the same screw (based) but the countersinks are almost all cheap plastic (cringe)The glass front is my first, it's fine so far but I have dry hands and I don't eat chips so ymmv. The screen is gorgeous, ergos are without exaggeration almost perfect, but the speakers are really bad for this price point, very tinny and even distorted when loud. Haptics are surprisingly good for a chinkheld. Triggers are a little stiff, just enough to notice when using them. Shoulders are clicky, but can be made quiet or even completely silent with one or two layers of electrical tape on the switches. The etsy mod came with a custom ring for the dpad too, and I enjoy how it made it a little less wiggly.wish I picked it up during this sale but whatever I can play gamecube in bed and not wake up my partner nowamateur blogger signing out
>>12129879Yes
>>12129140>>12129236...what are they doing? No, seriously, what the fuck is this? Why did they announce two of the same handheld at the same time, but one seems to be way better, but also they're almost the same price? What is the POINT? Why are they competing against themselves? Why did they obsolete a brand new product before launch, and within 30 seconds of its announcement? And why have I seen two Jewtube channels post the details of the announcements without a whisper of the most important part which is a comment on how fucking retarded this seems?
>>12129932It's preorder fomo shit
>>12129932They're running out of SD865s and using the rest of RP5 shells on the G2 for a few months while peddling the RP6 as the 120hz choice. I won't argue it's extremely confusing to casuals and senseless to us, but that's the reasoning.
>>12129927well you've convinced me
>shipping Anbernic from EU to my EU country costs more in both shipping and taxes than shipping from Chinawhat
>>12130029The main purpose of the EU is to prevent the EU's development and prosperity
>>12130034Isn't EU's main purpose to fuck with my freedoms and spy on me?

>>12130176Gonna be real funny if they end up with cracked hinges still.>>12130198While discussing the RP2S on shitcord I found some people are extremely obsessed with devices not having chins (to their own detriment, like RP5's speakers), it's probably that.
>>12130204no......
>>12130180I hope it's successful so they release it in more colors. I want a lime green one.
>>12130174>Retroondittors still use grips on their flop 2's and thor.Sorry bucko. The only true ergonomic clamcel was the chadvidia shield and the hello canceled shield 2.
>>12130227Mind you, I think the all glass shit on the 5 is retarded as fuck so I'm waiting on powkiddy's new droid helds which I hear should be good
>>12130227there's 10x more posts talking about how uncomfortable the rp5 is compared to the flip thoughever
I'm going all in on ayaneo and ambernic coin
>>12130198The mini is also prettier and more playable than the 5
>>12128885I remember how thrilled I was when I was a high schooler seeing people making handheld emulators with Raspberry Pis, using donor casing from a Gameboy or a 3D printed shell (early 3D printing where it looked like an uncooked brick of ramen), projects that'd cost a couple hundred so it was still just out of my reach. When I discovered this new handheld market years later (bout two years ago) I was so thrilled, I hadn't been so excited to play videogames in general in years. Got a RG353V (basically the same as what you got lmao) and I probably beat more classic games in that one year than I had in the previous three combined. It's amazing how much more you'll find yourself playing when it fits in your pocket, hope you enjoy the adventure!>>12129062NTA but, again, doesn't exist no matter how many variations of that question you ask. The amount of power doesn't matter when the emulator itself is flawed. That may change soon with the latest developments in porting pcs2x to android, but for the time being, perfect PS2 emu just isn't a thing ANY android handhelds can do.
>>12130152those pens are going to be the achiles heel of these ds-likes, aren't they?are the old "inferior" touch screens just not possible anymore because they have to use whatever's left from old smartphones or whatever?
>>12130307It's possible, but impractical. DS style touchscreens were pressure sensitive, so anything could be used as an input, but the problem with that is it'll only correctly read an input from a single source of pressure. Try to use more than one touch at a time and the inputs go haywire since the pressure's being split across the screen. That's the main reason we stopped using them once we started getting modern "smart" devices, you couldn't even do something as simple as a pinch and zoom with the older style, and since these are still android devices at the end of the day it doesn't make sense to install screens that can't fully interface with android's features.

>>12130435>Did I get it all right? I don't know where the RP5 second screen fitsHow I see it>Second screen if you've already got a handheld and don't care about DS enough to buy a whole new one
Thor could've been a perfect device but they fucked it with the d-pad placement. Its much easier to cope with analog bottom than d-pad bottom

>>12130598>Just wait a other year and prices will drop by at least 30%what if you just can't find one by then and the only thing is newer editions that are even more expensive?>AND 3DS emulation will be way better.I hope so man, I hope so
>>12130653Only the Ayaneo has any chance of being out of production, there will be no shortage of Thors.
>>12130653Ayn and Retroid products have always gotten cheaper or at least held their price. Unless you're talking about super old shit like the r2ps they're usually in stock too.
>>12130616Many are saying this
>>12130651nothing you said countered what I said
Are the face buttons on the 406v/h the same as on the 35xx?
Does DSi XL’s bigger battery than DSi actually matter or does it get balanced out with the bigger screens draining it faster?
I wanna play some switch visual novels on my rp4p, the gyakuten saiban/kenji games that were never translated to English till now, what's the best switch emulator to go about doing it? I have a hacked switch top but that shit is too bulky and I'm not confident nor competent enough to mod a switch lite.
rp size is retarded anyway too big for comfy pocket carry but not big enough to be worth it as a couch exclusive device
>>12130770I agree, the 190-220mm category is fucking gay because it makes no one happy.
>>12130770Yes
>>12130029>what Zhangistan still benefits from the "developing country" mail cost rebate, which Trump has started attacking this year. The EU is too fragmented to do the same.
If I think the Retroid Pocket 6 looks ugly, should I go for the G2 instead?
>>12130806You save 10 bucks and you get a worse screen, worse battery, worse chip, worse wifi. You're an actual retarded person if you buy the G2.
>>12129452>They won't acutally run out. Just sn excuse Not really. If they want 865s, they'll have to pay a fab to make new ones, because they (like many other handheld makers) rely on existing overstock to build their shit (ex. that LG screen used in the RP Mini, sourced from LG's wound down mobile division). And, unlike A53/A55 quad-core cheapshit, the cost is non-negligible.
>>12130806You could also wait a few months until they release the retroid flip 3, maybe a clamshell would look way better?
>>12130816Well they're both sold out so I can't get either.
>>12130843They just show as sold out, it means they haven't started selling them yet.
You niggas never leave your homes. Stop crying about muh pocketability.
>>12130806If you think the 6 is ugly you should stop being a fucking retard
>>12130873Rude.
>>12130873Not him, but I think the 5 looks better.
>>12130860Gonna go see a overly popular prostitute and play on my anbernig while I wait for my turn.
MY AYN THOR IS IN TRANSIT BROS*shakes butt*
>>12130963Remember to also order your pinkpill, sis!
>>12130965don't need it, i'm not an anbernic fan
Do you guys think this industry is just going to keep growing?
>RP6 is actually bigger than the RP5.Wasn't the whole point of retroid devices that they were really small and pocketable? (whole reason why their are called pocket)it's both heavier and larger, i fail to see the point behind it
>>12130973No. Hardware Tech stopped growing which is why everyone is desperately hiding behind AI to improve performance and pretend it's hardware advancement
>>12130973It feels like it's getting stagnant actually, Retroid/Ayn's stuff is starting to blur together, Anbernic is copying everything they possibly can, Powkiddy has slowed down compared to others, Miyoo has fallen out of favor with Flip and Mini Flip is about to flop just as hard, Magicx is experimenting but their ideas are either too niche or just get scrapped.
Wtf is a g2 Gen 2?Anyways,this or the konkr?
>>12125819You don't need mroe than 64mb of ram
>>12131003the great crash is coming
>>12131003Mini Flip seems good doe
>>12131015Doesn't the konkr not have an OLED screen?
>>12131041Even if you put the hinge concerns aside>3 hours of battery life
>>12131036who will rise out of the ashes?
>>12130984retroid confirmed dead
>>12130984Chinks have a different definition of "pocketable"
Well I was going to order a Thor today, but BASED Max Zhao has saved me $200. Thanks Amberchads.
>>12131105How are you going to play 3ds?
>>12131015Konkr is way more powerful for the price G2 Gen 2 is a cut down snapdragon G2 chip, we dont know how it performs because retroid is the first one to use it.
Konkr Pocket fit seems like the best deal out there
So is Mangmi out yet and is it really the best option for PSP only?
>>12131112Vid shows 3ds bro
hah, losers.mine has shipped!
>>12131123yeah
>>12131047I'm not autistic so I don't care
>>12130973They're basically phones but without cellular or cameras. Phones are always getting better and growing. It's pretty crazy that a normie phone from 3 years ago can play TOTK.
>>12129180Gen 2 has actual drivers so it can run Switch just fine. Newer hardware lacks drivers, it's more efficient on paper but worse in reality. Like how Nvidia driver issues prevent Nvidia 5080 from beating last gen AMD on Windows and Linux unless the game obviously favors RT or CUDA.
>>12130748Eden is currently the best
would getting 12gb ram be beneficial for pc gaming on one of these android chinkhelds? or is 8gb good enough? id only play non-demanding pc ports like the atlus ps2-era games and pixelshit
>>12131179If you're running windows emulation stuff you definitely want 12gb of ram. Windows and emu overhead sucks up at least 3-4gb by itself. Then you got 8gb left to play with games. It even helps out for Switch emulation as some games are memory leaky like Xenoblade or Zelda.
>>12131112Retard-kun, I...
>>12131116No OLED, costs almost as much as a steam deck, $30 shipping, forces you to upgrade to 12gb model, no warranty, long shipping times …I’m personally still thinking about the base 8gb for $271 or the RP6 for $234 (shipping included) Is it worth the extra $37 to lose OLED?
>>12131206Just get a thor
>>12129236Isn't the RP6's CPU better than the G2's?I mean not just in terms of drivers but also power.Why would anyone buy the G2 when it's only 10 dollars cheaper than the RP6? What the fuck?
>>12131206Tbh after experiencing the portal I can't use any chinkheld without OLED. OLED helps a lot with input lag, you can't beat the contrast ratios it helps hide streaming artifacts, and they help with battery life a miniLED needs to power a crapton of dimming zones at all times while OLED can shut theirs off during anything dark.
>>12131206>costs almost as much as a steam deck, $30 shipping, forces you to upgrade to 12gb modelOnly the shipping thing is true
>>12131217They were contractually obligated to make the G2, but some people might prefer it for turnip drivers or something.
>>12131217>>12131225Iirc it's more efficient Chipset. It may have longer battery life under some scenarios but I don't think it's worth losing future driver support.
>>12131225>>12131228The SD8 Gen2 is well supported though?It's literally the same CPU that the AYN Thor uses, and from what I've seen performance on that thing is just fine, so.
>>121312358 gen 2 is well supported, G2 gen 2 is too new
>>12131257Right, but again, that CPU is worse.Why would anyone buy the G2 when you get a stronger and better supported CPU for 10 dollars more?That's what I asked in >>12131217.
>>12130973I don't really see any other plausible scenario.We've already seen the end of proprietary consoles with unique hardware. Microsoft is getting out of the console business and the next Xbox is just going to be a literal PC running the same binary as the Windows version. The PlayStation 5 is just a walled-garden scenario running x86-64 hardware running on FreeBSD. The Switch and Switch 2 have severely overshadowed and outsold the PS5. Additionally, for many years going now, we've reached a critical mass where graphics have plateaued, and these cheap Android devices are now capable of "good graphics", and about one more chipset generation will really solidify that. Handhelds under $200 will have PS3 (and even early PS4!) levels of graphical capability when running native Android and Linux ports. Then you've got the evolving situation where so many thousands upon thousands of games are now available for free or cheap (both legally and illegally) that any new game release just cannot get the level of hype that they could in the past. There really aren't any generations of gaming anymore, it's all kind of homogenized into one timeless mass. A game like Super Metroid is kind of evergreen as new generations of players will continue to discover and enjoy it alongside new games, but to them it won't feel any different. It's just one thumbnail among thousands to pick from. So these generic android handhelds which are essentially just cheap phone hardware with built-in controls will become one of the, if not the, most dominant forms for people to consume video games.
>>12131151https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qydbCEDMrYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pbCB8K7R2EESeems like the G3 already has very good drivers. Pretty impressive for a chip that came out just 6 months ago.
>>12131126>>12131184NTA, but it's not a matter of being able to, the Ambernic DS has 2 4:3 screens, whereas the upper screen of the 3DS is a 16:9 one.Good luck I guess, but I could never bring myself to buy a 4:3 device anymore personally.
>>12131296>essentially just cheap phone hardwareNintendos been using arm type chips since the gba and Sony used it on the vita.
Retroid and Ayn rush out devices too fast now.
>>12131309Those weren't as "off the shelf" as what we're dealing with in these android handhelds. And they were more expensive. But also: they were a sign of things to come.
I need a Bigpemu/Atari Jaguar handheld machine
>>12130984For me, the reason you buy a Retroid is for the D-pad top. I don't really care about pocketability though. Hopefully the larger size will mean better ergonomics.
>>12130336https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXQV0P-65Nssupposedly they are using the same 768p panels as the R46H and the soc is t620
>>12131369I legitimately do not know if I should wait for this, or splurge on the Thor... Fuck...
>>12131314In Retroid's case it just doesn't make sense, because the the RP6 is a replacement of both the Odin 2 and the Odin 2 Mini at a fraction of the price. And they're selling the RP5 now at the same cost as the RP6 so you can't help but wonder what the hell their game plan is.
>>12129140>retroid0fficialThe O in official is actually a zero.
>>12131420kek, I was curious who had the account with the real O and it's some random locked account with just 1 follower. Get fucked Retroid.
>>12129140Looks ugly

>>12131206>No OLEDdont care>costs almost as a steam deckno, it doesnt>$30 shippingyeah that sucks>forces you to upgrade to 12gb modelno, it doesnt>no warrantydont care>long shipping timesdont care
>>12131473Why are they in such a rush to release it?
rp6 looks like absolute dogshit and brings nothing new to the table. retroid is completely out of ideas and flailing
>>12131502TruthnukeEvery generation prior brought significant performance upgradesNow it's just nominal shit to keep consoomers buying their yearly handheld like it's the newest iphone
>>12131473If they aren't rushing the RP6 to annihilate the Konkr Pocket and the RG557 in sales, then they're shoving it out the door to try and prioritize work on an RP2S successor. My guess is that they've shat bricks when they realized Ayaneo released the Air Mini at $70 instead of at a price of $150 or $200, and realized they lost their position as the "value" handheld manufacturer in China.
I'm waiting on a 4.7" 4:3 vertical.
>>12131560Anbernic already made two, or technically even 3. The RG Slide and the RG476 with the T820, and the RG477M with a Dimensity 8300.
>>12131560Bro, did you miss the 477M and 476H?
>>12131567I do not count the slide as a proper vertical. >RG47H (as in horizontal)>RG477M (also horizontal)Anon, pls.
>>12131567>>12131568>verticalAnbernig ESL shills can't read.
>>12131568what part of VERTICAL did you miss here?
>>12131502it is an improved odin 2 mini at a better price point. Same SoC, but oled screen and better d-pad placement and some new ergonomics at the back. How can you complain with the mini was like $300
>>12131587>people paid $300 for the O2 Mini's dogshit miniLED screen and now Retroid is offering a 120hz OLED screen in the same form factorOdin 2 Minis literally became paperweights overnight unless you really really hate d-pad on top.
It's so rare that these companies actually TRY to make the actual shell look nice.
>>12131539Okay, but I haven't upgraded since the RP3. Should I get the Thor?
>>12131678i would recommend that you purchase a miyoo mini plus. it is great value for your money.
are these fuckin things even worth upgrading if you have the 4 pro?
>>12131634Looks ugly to me. The colors are good tho.
>>12131634I fear they've fallen for the black and glass no-fun-allowed approach.
>>12131678As a Thor owner, how much do you really want the bottom screen? The buttons are fine but the dpad/stick layout may be a deal breaker to you because of it, and if you've got fat thumbs you may accidentally brush the bottom screen a bunch. If you do want the multitasking from two screens and aren't bothered by the stick layout, its definitely worth considering and has a pretty good power bump over the RP3 (using gamehub lite has been pretty fun) but consider the form factor.
>>12131724In a few years they'll get so minimalist they'll remove the analog sticks, d-pad, and buttons entirely. Touchscreen only.
Any reports on the Thor's hinge?
Retroid is afraid of Konkr.
>wanted the Thor for multitasking>realize I always have my tv on with Youtube as background noise while I'm playing shit anywayFUCK
Can someone help me out here? I'm trying desperately to set up my RP5 with the external screen as a 3/ds and all I can get is either one screen, or both screens mirrored. Everywhere I look online I'm seeing "this emulator has built in support" and "it just works lol" but when I try (melon DS) as example, the video option simply is not there. I would like to be able to use the quickstep launcher but I hate retroarch and I can never seem to find any of the settings I'm looking for. I just want to play Pokémon white for the first time with save states, that's all.
>>12131502true but it looks visually pleasing and maybe ps2 will run a bit better
I think we've officially reached the point where the only way they can make new handhelds is if they invest in making emulators for ps3/360 so they can sell more powerful hardware to emulate it because we've about reached the max performance for all the emulators we have now.
>>12131773>making emulators for ps3/360you're better off with a x86 handheld for thatarm is good but it cant break the laws of physics
>>12131753There's a specific fork for Dual Screen but it's crashing at the moment. Right now the Nightly version is working for me https://github.com/rafaelvcaetano/melonDS-android/releaseshttp://youtube.com/post/Ugkxfu9_ZNpQEdUPdEUD-13DMYLV8ZWk_hsD?si=MV32FZjrTYCCOcaf
>>12131783If you can run zelda slop on android I don't think ps3 is out of the realm of possibility if you start using the better cpus but like i said that would require the chinks to fund someone to bother doing that.
>some Thor reviewers say the dpad below the stick is so uncomfortable>meanwhile everyone's favorite handheld
>>12131807That's also uncomfortable for a lot of people.
>>12131810and yet it's the number 1 option for contrarians who say just get a hacked 3DS when they're expensive as shit nowadays
>>12131807I don't listen to this d-pad top vs bottom nonsense anymore, everyone has their own preference so there's no objectivity behind it despite some people claiming otherwise.
>>12131634Pic unrelated
>>12131634yeah it looks 100x better than the rp5it really is showing how fucking stupid and what shit taste the average handheld consoomer has by how many people are saying it looks worse
>>12131773PS2
>>12131634I'm never buying a retroid device again until they get rid of the glass meme. It's just an additional point of failure, causes glare, and smudges easily.
>>12131773exactly hit the nail on the head
>Russ releases a 20 minute "thoughts" video on the rp6>He's going to release another 1 hour "impressions" video when it comes out>And then 1-2 weeks later he's going to release another 1 hour "review" videodude is so shameless in padding out the channel watchtime numbers man
