PCSX2 on android waiting room
What is the last game you played on your handheldfor me it was Graze Counter GM (switch emulation)
>lagdroidnot even once
anberGODs won
>>12131946we don't play games we spend a day getting everything set up perfectly and then go back to waiting for better handhelds to come out
>>12131946Castlevania: the Adventure for the Game Boy. Trying to get into the spirit
KONKR or the RP6?Will be doing PS2 and some switch.
Odin 3 Mini waiting room
>>12131946im playing ace attorney apollo justice right now
>>12131978KONKR has way more powerRP6 has a OLED screenpick either one, you cant go wrong
>>12131946thps3 cant get the high score on suburbia i hate this map
>>12131996Konkr also has a bigger battery8400 vs 6000
>>12131996>>12132006I have a legion go s so this would be more of a companion device and one to take with travel. Really hard to choose.
What's the best handheld for around $250? I wanna get something for myself for Christmas this year, but I also want something that's going to last.
>>12131945>PCSX2 on android waiting roomWhy? There's already a PS2 emulator on Android that works great
>>12132079NetherSX2 is incomplete, and it cannot be updatedthere are still games with severe graphic issues even in Snapdragon chipsets. but since the emulator is closed source, nothing can be done.
>>12131945What about this one? https://github.com/ARMSX2/ARMSX2To be honest, I didn't even know it existed until now. I'm gonna give it a try later.
>>12132105>The emulator currently operates as x86 -> arm64, not native arm64, so the performance may not be as good as AetherSX2 currently, however things are subject to change as development goes on.Hmm...
>>12132105the fact that it performs about the same as nethersx2 while being incredibly inefficient so far says that the future of ps2 emulation is gonna be bright once they get a few more programmers to optimize things.
>>12132108can't wait, it's really one of the last bottlenecks in terms of retro gaming besides like xbox shit
I really hope the Pocket Air Mini gets to me in time for my winter break so I can wrap myself up in bed and play retro vidya all day and nightI'll sustain myself on hot cocoa and marshmallows
>>12132136trying to justify getting one even though I already have a flip 2
Would the Thor be capable of running HD modded 3DS games?
>>12132139Do it for the 4:3 screen
>>12132182yeah it has more than enough.
>>12132073Data Frog SF2000
>>12132183good excuse, thanks, getting one
>>12131932just ordered my first handheld, the r36s...any good yt guides to get the most out of it? i want to do cool shit with it
How bad is non-integer upscaling of 480p content like Dreamcast or Gamecube on a Steam Deck OLED? I guess it's fine for 3D stuff but what about 2D?
>>12131953We actually shill the chinkshit handhelds for 100 Yuan a post, young one.
>>12132329The scren should be small enough you are not likely to perceive any difference. If you do, you should be fine with a light crt shader
i am gooning like a degen to my AYN Thor Rainbow Max
>>12132387My fucking black max is still unshipped. I am not sure I even will want it anymore by the time it comes home
>>12131932Yo does this have hall effect sticks? And can I put MuOS or Linux on it? I don't care what OS it is as long as it isn't Android.
>>12132405>Linux on a dual screen keyboardless device
>>12131932I have a modded 3ds that can play ever single gba, ds, and 3ds game natively. Why would anyone buy one of these? Ds emulation is still fucking trash with horrible audio.
>>12132462My 3DS is dying
quiet buttons have better feng shui
Today I will remind them that the SD685 has near identical performance to the 8g2 when overclocked.
>>12132517Meanwhile ayaneo brings a better price to the table and 'nig brings an incredible 4:3 screen on the 477M. Its over for retroon.
>cesspit 1 is pissy about RP6 having a chin and better speaker placement and coping that RP5 looks better>cesspit 2, self convinced to be much better than cesspit 1, is having a meltdown over anyone who cares about the lack of integer scaling on the anbernig DS, even going down the 'i-it's just a prototype bro' routeI still hate that this is the only half-honest place to talk chinkhelds. Fucked up. >>12132517But can it match thermals and battery life? Given they cost basically the same for the non-retard model, seems like a no-brainer.
>>12132431>I don't know what I'm doing but I'm a trans rights Troonix supporter
>>12132431>>12132529What are you mouthbreathers going on about? It'd just be ES based with dual screen support patched in.
How big is the Air Pocket Mini? I haven't seen any size comparisons from the reviews I've watched.
>>12132523Actually yes. 865 can be pretty substantially undervolted
Mini v2 won
>>12132549go to retrocatalog, press compare, and you can see it compared to any other handheld you want
>>12132583TRVTH
>>12132583Genuinely considering buying a second one before retroon inevitably discontinues them. I know the pricing is off, but the mini is a fully realized 2s. A small handheld that fucking melts in your hands full set of inputs great versatile screen, has both android and Linux available. Yes I wish it didn't have the glass front but everything else about this thing is literally perfect.
>>12131932I've seem a couple of ytb shorts talking about this device.Can anyone attest if it's any special, when compared with other handhelds?
>>12132596Oh and excellent dpad, good but clacky buttons
>>12132596I worry I might have to settle if they don't reveal the Mortgage Mini soon. Are your face buttons getting scratched by the glass?
>>12132597Basically the first affordable clamshell that just came out, questionable design choices, no telling if it'll stand the test of casual abuse. Specs are fine.
>>12132604Dual screen clamshell, that is.
>>12132602Hard to say, doesnt seem like it sold very well and it was completely overshadowed by the 5. Honestly though, what more do you need?The specs:form factor ratio is pretty much 1:1 and theres always the option to overclock the 865
>snapdragon 8gen2 still can't play totk acceptablyI sleep, barely an upgrade.
>>12132608Slightly bigger 4:3 version with a plastic frame around the buttons to avoid that would be nice, yeah. I don't like that my only other option is anbernig which is not only metal AND glass, has zero consistency on their d-pads and reports about their quality are equally unreliable, and lack snapmeme for autistic software needs. I'll be genuinely upset if Mortgage Mini got hello, canceled.
>>12132616I am the biggest dpad autist in this thread, if you're talking about the 477M its got an excellent one
>>12132612Just get a Switch at that point
>>12132650Switch runs it like it's poorly emulating it too, no point.
>>12132517>>12132517they locked down overclocking because the 865 overclocked was embarassing their future chips. The RP5 and Flip 2 is easily overclockable too.
>>12132597In addition to what the other Anon said, it has decent specs like oled and snapdragon for its price. However I think the anbernig DS will be a better value proposition in the long run unless you specifically want to play 3DS (that sucks on it anyways).
>>12132585So it's roughly the same size as the 40XXH. I'm now really tempted to get one and make it my EDC handheld.Also thanks for the website, it's really handy.
You don't need morepocket classic for 5th gen and backodin 2 for 6th gen and streaming from PCmodel s for something that is so small you can carry it anywhere
https://x.com/retroid0fficial/status/1983182646042837386It's your chance to fix the RP6's shitty design
>reddit already managed to ruin the RP6Unfuckingbelievable. https://xcancel.com/retroid0fficial/status/1983182646042837386
>>12132596I would buy the next mini if they went with a slightly bigger screen and 6 face buttons like the classicIt’s too good a device to discontinue imo but I can see them retiring it
>>12132714>reddit That looks like twitter but I can never tell
>>12132709>>12132714jesus christ lmao
>Citra is such a piece of shit it needs a handheld more powerful than the Deck just to go full speedHorse shit, more bogus than Xbox emulation
>>12132714Why did they hate it so much? I thought it looked alrightI bet every future pocket is going to look the same from now on kek
>>12132714The redesign looks better, but I don't know about the d pad being on the bottom.
>>12132718They were the ones pushing for stick top and rehashing the RP5.
>>12132714Doesn't this outright remove two buttons? What's wrong with these zoomies
Hope anbernic releases something like the RP Mini V2 but fanless soon
>>12132714>smaller speakersGenius. Nice going, retards. We’re never going to beat RP2S’s speakers
>>12132612>playing nu-zelda open world slop
>>12132714I liked the row of buttons, people are retarded
>>12132714If they go left stick on top, then what does the RP6 offer over the Odins?
>>12132714Where are the 2 function buttons going? How can they change the design at the drop of the hat? What is this stupid fucking marketing stunt? Kinda glad I stopped buying Retroid products now.
>>12132726Retard bandwangoning on reddit, bet these faggots don't even have a single high end chinkheld. So now we have the same shitty smaller speaker slit from RP5, the same shell, we lost M1 and M2 and the sticks, which are being moved to a worse position, will be glued closer to the d-pad akin to the RP5's. Genius.
>>12132714>left stick on topWhy don’t they just buy the Odin 3?
While I prefer the dpad on top, the stick on top makes sense for the kind of games a device like this can play.
>>12132714the mini reigns ergonomically supreme, congrats on the grip economy babbies
>>12132714So they actually want retroon to create slop, for real. That’s how far we’ve come huh?
>>12132750bottom stick is not a bad design, vita did it and it worked. who cares if its powerful, its an oled screen and will make any game generation look nice.
>stick on top>glass panelGenuinely, what's the purpose to Retroid as a brand now? That imbecile community manager is feeding the chinks bad data.
>>12132714>>12132709The worst part is that there already is a mini Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 handheld with the stick on top. Its called the Odin 2 Mini, and the whole body is all plastic compared to falling for the glass front meme.>>12132749Either they're too poor for that, or they're too fuckin cheap.
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA WHY DOESN'T EVERY DEVICE LOOK EXACTLY THE SAME??????????????????? - Reddit
>>12132749Your average Twitter tard who found the polls doesn't know what that is
>>12132714as i said before, retroid is out of ideas and flailing. sinking ship. its over.
>>12132787We're getting to the point where there's no reason to release new handhelds anymore. The only thing that's still an issue at this point is switch but for actual retro games the improvements haven't mattered for 2 iterations now.
>>12132768odin 2 mini screen is dogshit
looks like the speakers are going right back where the thumbs are lmaothey’re really going to kill this design for comfort when the 5 already exists
>>12131945Then do it yourself.
Guess the Flip 2 will be the last device Retroid releases without giving a fuck what retarded Redditors are saying about it.
>>12132791Then wait for the Odin 3 Mini. But at this point both AYN and Retroid are shooting themselves in the foot since they're competing against each other as sister companies internally rather than externally.
I thought they were also releasing the g2, isn’t the new design simply that?
>>12132714>desperately trying to change the design of the console AFTER preorders have already started
I think everyone voting thinks the redesign is the new RP6 and the "Current Design" is the old version
>>12132790I guess PS3 and WiiU might make them move forward a generation if the emulators at least tried to not be such blatant dogshit
did preorders start and they already shit themselves in panic from the low numbers?
>>12132819They definitely didn't get the sales they were hoping for.
Why are the chinks so allergic to green? The only handhelds with nice green shells that I can think of right now are the RP Classic, the 35XXSP and the 34XX.
>future rp6 owners
>>12132612The Switch can't play it acceptably either, so it's accurate.
>>12132726>>12132746>>12132747Apparently M1 and M2 are still there on the redesign
>>12132612No offense, but it's a shit game anyway. OG BOTW mogs it completely.
>>12132975Nah.
I don't care about any of this "new" shit.I already have an Odin 2 Portal!
The new RP6 has less soul
>>12132982Xitter stole the soul from it, sad
>>12132981You got that in common with the niggers killing that poll, they'll keep their stick top chinkhelds and not buy a thing.Second poll on shitcord is also fucked btw.
>>12132667yupmini, rp5 and rpf2 have like 30% performance gains ready to be unlocked
Reddit moment in a retroid post on GBCgaming
>>12132982>>12132984Now you know why slop always sells, it's what the masses want. They don't want soul, they hate soul.
>handheldsreddit way to play games
>>12132982Retroid is very popular now. Expect more of this from now on
>>12132998inadvertently based. redditors need to remember who rules them, plus he deterred some from the poll
>>12132991What's wrong with the new design?
""" democracy """" Gay and stupid
>>12133014>speaker position more likely to be covered by your hands>seeming lack of macro buttons though apparently those would go to the back instead
>>12132998when is Elon a nazi?
>>12132975TotK is objectively the better game in everything but story.
>>12133014Are you smarter than a redditor?
>>12132854green is the color of cucks in china.no, i'm not joking.
>>12133007I'd argue they were always the most popular. Even back in the day I'd see RP2S threads on /v/ which is what put this hobby on my radar. No one quite beats them for price-quality-performance. Anbernic seems content with price-performance and everyone else is shitting the bed.>>12133028He did the nazi salute a few months back.
>>12132714>>12132709yeah fuck these retardsbuying another mini v2 before its gone the 2s disappeared like a month after they cut the price on it
>>12133028Literally every day
>>12133025>>12133042I'm not super autistic about the speakers so the new design would be an improvement to me.
>>12133004Nah, it's kino, but not as much as this.
>>12133028He's not He's just a power hungry grifter that benifits from retards mislabeling him
>>12133093I love my shart pro, but im waiting on full cfw support before grabbing the new one. by then it should be cheap like the v1.
>>12133045>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_in_Chinese_culture>Separately, green hats are associated with infidelity and used as an idiom for a cuckold.[14]holy kek it's real
Retroid makes retarded business decisions and responds by making even more retarded decisions: 2025 edition.
>mfw i vote dpad bottom, new design on twitter but dpad top, original design on Discord to attempt to get conflicting results in the final polls, thus increasing how retarded Retroid look
>>12133103That's acutally the smart pro s and I posted the wrong image for my shitpost...
>>12133045>>12133106Fuck... I'll never have a green mid/high end device.
>>12133127yes i know
>>12133134Psp and I dreamcast are fullspeed now without burning the back. I take back every bad thing I said about shartui.
>>12133138i just installed gamma os on minei feel like the battery life tripled kek2 days of standby dropped it by 2%
>>12133141Keep in mind idle battery reports aren't very reliable, try running something and see if it holds up.
Retroid started a war lol.
>>12133172Looking at baidu and the qq group, people overseas AND china itself are shitting on retroon. I can't believe how many chinks acutally care about dpad on bottom.
>>12132714why don't these retards buy an AYN if that's what they want??? why ruin retroid???
why cant these dpad on bottom niggers just get an odin? god i hate these fucking people
>>12133191just buy an rp5 you queer. it plays all retro games fine
What emulators do you guys run on these Android handhelds? Do you use individual emulators or just RetroArch?
>>12132596it looks a lil soulful but psp dood
>>12133196RA is a necessary evil for scaling up to 5th gen, 6th gen onward are standalones.
I hate dpad on bottom, dpad on top forever. Dpad to the left of stick forever, dpad is more important than joystick in every 2d game ever made, half of all games ever made need it in a comfortable position. The stick being above the dpad literally always feels like utter shit in all games ever. Xbox knows it, we all know it. The stupid "this is where your thumb naturally rests" argument is bullshit, I hope everyone who says this dies.The stick being on the bottom also just feels better for most 3d games.
>>12133202That's understandable. I wish RetroArch didn't suck so bad.
11/11 around the cornerhoping to pick up a 477M below or around $200
>>12132596Another thing, how's the speaker?
>buy expensive as hell android that can play up to Dreamcast games>use it to only play pokemonAnyone else do this?
>>12132583>>12132596>>12132598>>12133054Redpill me on the mini v2s resolution. It's missing 40 pixels on the horizontal axis to do 2x 480p integer. Matter of fact, any resolution results in a tiny ass viewport with black borders all around on an already tiny display if you wanna do integer scaling. You guys just shillin' to get rid of stock?
>>12133228It's what I'm going to do when I finally decide on what handheld I want to get.
>>12133228>buy expensive as hell android>that can play up to Dreamcast gamesSomething went very wrong there. But anyway, suppose you can play those shitty RPGMaker Pokemons, those can be surprisingly taxing and Linux can't run them at all.
>>12133231Mini v2 owners are just battered housewives. They're the type who are fine with letting retroid stomp their nuts time and time again while coping the stomp will have a 4:3 screen
>>12133231>he doesnt know
>>12133193kys
>>12132329I just emulate them at 2x internal res, it's more than strong enough. But it doesn't look that bad.
>>12133252BVASED russ! Don't stop until all these handhelds have the dpad on bottom
i boughted another mini
Konkr won
>>12132431Why not? Linux supports touch screens and multiple displays.
>>12132998Lmao, gotta love power tripping discord jannies
complete anbernic victory max i fucking kneel
Anbernic won. Again.
Disregarding the dust (I cleaned it), how do I get a replacement stick thingy for my 2+? I'd like to gift it to a relative when the Thor arrives
>>12133312You cleaned it so hard it's gone. Whatever it is, see if it takes Switch sticks.

>>12133334>simulators
>>12133337reddit was full of people shilling R36XXs
>>12133334Looks like one of those generic ones with terrible buttons, but not the one with a clone problem.
oh nonono...amberniggers...t-this can't be!
>>12133315>>12133312Oops
>>12133354CHINKED yet again...
>>12133109>Black 30%>Joystick on top 60%This hobby is full of retarded insecure manchildren (unsurprisingly).
I was thinking of buying a Thor but there's only 4px to choose from for shipping. Can I just send customer support an email and ask them to use DHL or is that too retarded? I don't want it to be stuck on customs for months.
>>12133360black is the best choice since it makes borders less visible when you play 4:3 stuff
>>12133363Most people CHOOSE 4px because it's allegedly the only hope you have to not be fucked in the ass with border taxes
>>12133354>screenshot of a cell phone picture This image has gone through 2 encodes and possibly a filter .
>>12133312If you mean the right one, it's a slider. I think some werid chink controllers used it, but I don't know the names.>>12133305>Hebekino>LagdroidBased zhou dabbing on linux and retroon sissies. Is there anything that memelord can't do?
>>12133360Joystick on top is kino. Sorry you were beaten when you were a child and had to cope with the kektendo/Kekny layout
>>12133358May be compatible with stick caps for more modern retroids but I couldn't tell you. Looking at a teardown they seem like standard Switch sticks, only with the two screw holes on the same side while only using one, as a last resort you could saw one off.>>12133369Still correct, very visible on the video.
>>12133363Yes, but they will charge you about $50 for shipping>>12133368That's not the same for every country. Thanks to the retarded way we are taxed here is cheaper to use DHL/UPS/Fedex even if the shipping cost is higher.
>>12133369What do you expect from retroondittors trying to bisect the great name of Zhou? Those tards got raped 4 times in a row
>>12133376Wait, they might be vita sticks, just spotted those while searching.
>>12133376That video doesn't exist since you didnt post it and even if you did they probably just had the wrong emu settings .They would never be that dumb
>>12133363Give it a shot. I saw it didn't allow some guy in the EU to do it earlier>>12133368sometimes you want your packages FAST
>>12133330Retard

>>12133389See >>12130336https://youtu.be/zVAHh-DmDu8?t=60>>12133376>The right stick (slider) is not a plug and play swap. It’s soldered to the main board and not replaceable and requires custom soldering and modding the shell. It’s possible, but not like swapping out the left stick.Actually, ignore everything I said, it looks like a mess.
Speaking of import taxes, does anyone know if Retroid underdeclares the value of the package?
>wake up>boot up portal>play lumines for a hour>look over at nazitter feed>the new retroid pocket 6 has been redesigned to just be a smaller shittier version of the portal with the same layoutlmao!
>>12133093Refresh when?I need a new version with the exact same form factor and price but better hardware.
I do think getting rid of the buttons on the bottom is the right call if it's supposed to be "pocketable"
>>12133413That's what you're looking at.Trimui smart pro s. Taller sticks and more range. L3/R3. Psp and dreamcast fullspeed and doesn't get as hot. Still linux as you can see from the image. Same sleep tier. Will be cheap.
