>boots up portal>games hardstyle>looks at news>retroid trying desperately to copy it>still has tiny baby bitch screenLOL!!!
LOL!!!!!!
No handholding? Chezz...
>>12137352dont know who that is
>>12137330I want a KONKR Pocket Fit with D-pad on top and larger sticks on the bottom.Does anything like that exist? If not, is it likely too soon?
Resistive screen dual screen never ever...
I love playing jrpgs on my rg nano so much, bros!
>>12137387genuinely what's the point of not just using a phone for jrpgs
>>12137391Personally I don't really care to play any game of any genre without physical buttons.
>>12137373of course you have the retroid pocket 6 oh wait...
>>12137352Bro thinks he's Taken :skull:
For me, it's the Miyoo Mini Plus. I recommend everybody purchase one of these amazing devices.
>>12137371Potentially veering beyond /vr/, but how well do twin stick controls work for top down shooters compared to KBM?
Was it really so hard to put T618 and two 768p screens in there?
Retroid is imploding
>>12137514fuck reddit and fuck retroid
>>12137484I'll only buy one if techdweeb won
>>12137514I'm feeling better about my decision to get a Konkr Pocket Fit more and more.
>>12137514How hard can it be to just make two variants? They make a 1000 versions of what is essentially the same thing already anyway
>>12137484>can't even run 240p PS1 at full speed>can't use shaders of any kind
Which cheap handhelds have gyro for GBA?
>>12137514screw Retroid, their American social media dude is insufferable and their business decisions seem to be made consistently made after a night out in Shenzhen with karaoke and hookers
>>12137492T620, 768p, a true powder blue colorway (not the shitty blue we've seen) for $99...they took my dream away...why did they do it bros
>>12137563gba
>>12137567>their business decisions seem to be made consistently made after a night out in Shenzhen with karaoke and hookerswhich is sensible
>>12137628no it doesn't the cartridges have the gyro dumbass
>>12137630well, yes, I can't really fault those lifestyle choices. But I wish they also made good products.
>>12137563not sure if its 'cheap' but can confirm the RG505 has gyro that works with GBA emulation (tested Warioware)
>>12137632gba catridge
anbernic should follow retroid and change the ds before release kek
>>12137667They should decide the chip with a twitter poll
>>12137673unironically should, but that would just result in them having to spend more money because everyone would just choose the best one
>>12137514yup just gotta buy a mini before they run outit will be their last good device
Bros the RG DS sucks...
>>12137352>calling the people who scammed you idiots and moronslollmao, even
>>12137492>>12137723It will be good enough to play DS in a crappy emulator, so nobody really cares because it will look great on your shelf
>>12137484I'm still annoyed I fell for that meme.
>>12137484I’m still thinking of getting one even though I know it’s outdated garbage
Have they announced RG DS v2 yet?
>>12137514Like I said, alienating their existing customers for driveby poll voters who aren't buying. Good job.>>12137721Honestly, I don't even want to after this. I'd buy second hand to keep them from getting money, but second hand handhelds are disgusting.
Does anyone have this wallpaper? Cant find it anywhere.>>12133305
>>12137768Don't bother, it's legit trash. The only good thing about it is the dpad but it's useless with the trash software and terrible cpu.
>>12137786Someone on shitcord found it.
tfw
>>12137794thanks
>>12137792I keep hearing about the dpad and just can’t imagine how good it has to be for people to still fellate it 3 years in. Are there any other chinkhelds with similar feeling dpads?
>>12137795when will be able to make love to our chinkhelds?
>>12137804From the devices I own:In terms of resistance it's similar to the CubeXX Dpad but the CubeXX can produce more unwanted input on the diagonalsThe RG40XXV has a much more spongy dpad, the face buttons are very similar, the triggers are more clicky (the miyoo has better soft dampening there)The TrimUI devices feel completely different, I think those don't even use membrane keysThe Odin 2 mini also has a clicky dpad and feels nothing like the miyoo mini plus, that one is similar to the VitaThe Steam Deck Dpad feels kinda similar but softer so a bit less definite
How is the dpad on magicx devices?Specifically the zero 28, I've grown to really liking the A133p for the standby mode and accurate battery readings
>>12137806when they start shipping NPUs inside them
I will get a Thor after they fix the hardware flaws that beta cucks will find
>>12137818I love my mini 28 but the dpad on mine is overly sensitve and i get some false diagonals if i'm not careful sadly could prolly tape it up easily enough thought but i've not bothered
Retroid's gonna sell both dpad on top AND on bottom.
>MagicX makes a shit DS for $80>plebbit loves it>Anbernic makes an actual DS for $100 with slightly less shit CPU>plebbit hates it
>>12137890>shit speakers are back
>>12137898Its about expectations.We didnt want a slightet less shit DS we wanted our dream DS
>>12137904Anbernics with an ok tier soc start at $150 so I don't get why anyone would expect a $100 at launch one to be better
amiga emulation fucking sucks balls
>>12137890I hope all the nigger retards that voted for this ugly piece of shit have theirs blow up
>>12137904Even beyond that, Anbernic was explicitly marketing this as a DS machine, pixel to pixel or whatever the line went.>>12137905Anbernic was tooting their horns about value.>>12137909Sorry, they're not buying.
>>12137890>8 trans flags
>>12137890>they now need 2 different production runs and inventory supplies LMAO either RP has to take a L with a lower margin or the price is going up
>>12137917Are you new to the retro gaming market?
>>12137917Currently at 26 and rising.>>12137925Speak for your own country and social media.
>>12136574>Can a dual screen setup even work on Linux right now?I could easily do so on my loonix desktop, but the setups of those custom handheld distros are currently an enigma to me
>>12137890i'll probably get the 16bit dpad bottom after i see some positive reviews from actual customers and make sure there's no mega-chinking going on
>>12137930For vr stuff I only use 4chan , watch YouTube hardware vids and occasionally twitch speedruns and all 3 are completely filled with trannies
>>12137492For under 100 bucks? Probably.
>>12137890Still objectively worse than what they announced in the first place thanks to the narrower form factor and fucking retarded speaker placement. They can keep it.
>>12137945Will probably be $70 or less in a few months
>>12137950Thats when the actually good one will come out.
>>12137890>>12137909>>12137923They will probably downgrade the battery and other stuff to make up for it
>>12137932Ya the tech already exists but chinks would never be able to pull it off since android knowledge is 100x more common then GNU in China. If a DS with chipset that supported mainline linux and could boot it was released the trannies in the west would make in work in a week though
>>12137957yeah, for $180 with a mid tier CPU but still crap displaysThen they will make another one with good displays but a worse cpuetc.
how many years out are we from something like the brick but with 120hz oled for ~$100
>>12137371what game is that?
>DSi XL is STILL the best way to play DS games
>>12137373>>12137410Retroid just announced that you can order it with dpad or analog on top
>>12137917You don't hate them enough
>>12137632yes, yes (you) are.
>>12137932Most of them just use KMShttps://docs.libretro.com/guides/kms-mode/
>>12137961>but still crap displaysProbably because I don't think anyone has released a 4 inch 768p display. They would have to go smaller as far as I know.
Can I have a virtual keyboard on the bottom screen on the Thor to use with MS-DOS games on the top?
>>12137967Chinks will never ship a device with a resistive screen, so it always will be.
>>12137890Hope the Redditors are happy with the new like everyone else redesign. God forbid a company with retro in their name make something retro
I wonder if reddit ever curses at /hhg/
>>12137898They're both shit so who cares?
>>12137906Skill issue
>>12137974There are a few recent brandless ones running on RK3326https://handhelds.wiki/R46Hhttps://handhelds.wiki/R45Hhttps://handhelds.wiki/R42proGod knows if the screens are actually any good but I think someone on reddit confirmed the first one is 768p at least
>>12138042Well nice to know its possible I guess.
>>12137890>both optionsThat's nice at least but the new design is still a downgrade because now we have the RP5's shit speakers again and the first design having that extra space at the bottom was actually going to slightly improve the ergonomics of using the bottom stick/d-pad. Also this one is just personal but I don't like back buttons so I would have preferred M1/M2 at the front too. Oh well, I wasn't going to buy it anyway lmao.
Overclock your rp5Overclock your miniReject the point of diminishing returns and wait for a real upgrade
>>12137890They seriously made the device shorter to accommodate shittier speakers again?
>>12138098how
Why even call it the rp6 if it just looks like the rp5 again but with asymmetric layout? This whole thing is just retarded. I’d shelve the 6 designation entirely at this point
>>12138087I actually kinda like having the back M1/2 buttons, I think it could make PS2 emulation a lot nicer for games that make use of the Dualshock 2's pressure sensitive buttons. You could have a standard button press be soft, and button + back button be a hard press.
>>12138116To be fair, RP3 and RP4 looked pretty similar too except for the bottom buttons
>>12137971>If KMS mode is working correctly, RetroArch should start up without any desktop environment as well, straight from the terminal.
>retroid getting away with flashing the initial masterpiece design and then throwing it in the garbageim absolutely livid.
>>12137890Cool. Wasn't a fan of the old design and giving people the option for either dpad on top or bottom is probably the best case scenario. Win-win for me.
>>12138129>masterpiece>still had glass front meme
>the plebbit cucks want stick on top? OK we'll just reuse the mainboard from the Odin 3
>>12138140Are Retroons just cheapskates who don't want to spend the extra money to buy an Odin?
>>12137486it's serviceable. The game is fully playable and i can survive during bossfights, but obviously mouse is much more accurate and smoother.>>12137965Something that i'm working on, it's basically a modern ZAMN
>>12138145yes, also AYN is the same company as Retroid
>>12138145stick-top niggers aren't going to show up in the actual sales. there are too many other good options out there.
What is the most anti reddit handheld? Because I'm buying that one now and will become the brands strongest soldier as revenge for what they did.
>>12137385>resistive screen dual screenthis is literally a meme, just get a stylus that works, why would you want a worse screen with less functionality, like just use your finger
>>12138145>0.5” screen difference>CPU upgrade that likely won’t translate to much better performance because no drivers>$100 more expensiveI’m not buying either but I kinda get why a lot of people would rather get RP6
>>12137794>ai slop
>>12138162The Portal exists
>>12138159Konkr Pocket Fit
I'm gonna get the RP6. Seems like a great device for what I'm looking to do. Dunno why everyone here hates it.
>>12138159>anti redditChromatic because reddit hates Luckey’s guts. Only way to go further is if Elon decides to make a handheld but even if that happened, it would probably suck
>>12137890Ooh function buttons that rub against my fingers the entire time I hold the device thanks Twitter
does /hhg/ like R36 handhelds?
>>12138168Third world problems but I can never find it for less than $400
there's no reason for a handheld to be stronger than it needs to be to run ps2 games.
>>12138145No one this anal about stick on top would actually be so frugal over $100, they already have their Odins. And then there's the horde of brownoid redditors aping their daddy micro (in more ways than one) ecelebs who won't buy anything at all. Moorechip lost completely here, wasting money on different models while the pre-order numbers they were so jumpy about will hardly budge. Retards. I'm still pining this on Chris, that imbecile.
>>12138183There's no reason to own anything other than an RK3266.
>>12138160Capacitive stylus aren't precise or small enough to play pokemon ranger and trauma center
>>12138201They haven't realized yet that the market is saturated by the RP5
>>12138171>Dunno why everyone here hates it.It's because we wanted the initial design.
>>12138159Asus Ally X, anything expensive by Ayaneo, the other expensive x86 handhelds
>>12138171Yeah I dont know why redditors hated the original design so much in the first place either. They could’ve just dug into their funko budget and bought the Odin
Whats the point of the RPG2 now if the RP6 isjust gonna be the RP5 but can emulate switch and ps2 a little better? I only wanted the RP6 because of its vita-like soulful design. as a RP5 owner there is nothing driving me to get the new RP6, stupid company.
>>12138201Yep, they’re about eat even bigger shit here than before. The whole second screen fiasco was also a bad sign of retarded hesitation. By the time next year rolls around theyll have lost footing in the ‘budget but decent power’ space
Thorsisters... Why haven't we won yet?
>>12137898>MagicX makes a shit DSThe Magicx Zero 40?That looks like absolute ass. It's a funny shaped brick.At least the RG DS actually looks like an NDS.
>>12138250The Thor already won thougheverbeit.It looks great, it runs anything you throw at it save for PS3 because RPCSX is still a WIP.Like, I don't know what problems do your contrarian ass and others here have with it, but it's pretty much a perfect console that adjusts to your needs, which is hardly surprising with a 16:9 screen at the top and a 4:3 screen at the bottom.PS1? Bottom screen.GBA? Bottom screen.Switch? Top screen.Android native crap? Top screen.Lightweight PC gaming? Top screen.SNES? Bottom screen.Et cetera, et cetera.You guys constantly parroting this "thor lost" or whatever bs have to be mentally ill. There's no other logical explanation for your visibly retarded behavior.
>>12138289You forgot>shit screen with bad image retention
Will the 8gb G3 Gen 3 Pocket Fit be able to do some lightweight Indie PC games? I have a handful of games I'd like to play on the handheld.
>>12137890I fucking hate rear buttons. I always end up pressing them by accident.
>>12138318Save yourself the trouble, get a deck
>>12138343I have one and it's too fucking big.
>>12138289I've had mine since monday and its the best. Not sure why /vr/ is hellbent on doomposting about it besides buyers remorse over Flip 2
>>12138318What games are they? But generally speaking the G3 Gen 3 should easily clear any game released before 2010 and lightweight indie games.
>>12138397People are scared of the hinge breaking
>>12138420Understandable.
>>12138397It's sour grapes. With this general it's always sour grapes.
>>12138461>Just get a deck broSays the man who cannot afford a deck
>>12138289Holy truke
I sincerely hope that retroid doesn't sell a single stick on top unit. Bending the knee to plebbit should be punishable by death.
>>12138289INPUT LAG
>>12138476not when they add rocknix support
>>12138474I'm buying one
>>12138480So never?
>>12138483No you're not.
>>12137890Making different d-pad variants for purchase is great.Too bad the design did get downgraded for no reason other than reddit screeching
Will there ever be new loonix handhelds that have new socs? I have a rgb30 which is fine for on the way and because I'm not retarded I have my old phone+telescope controller and lineageos. Now I look for a more comfy Troonix device with high brightness screen and dpad on top. Is just want a cubexx with a little bit better soc so I can play dpad games from newer consoles. Wat do?
With the Thor, is it possible to disable or turn one of the screens off/black when not in use?
>>12138204They are if you get the right kind
>>12138539yes
>just the RP5 but more expensiveOkay fine I'll just get the RP5.
>>12138417Well off the top of my head I'd like to use it to play Cult of the Lamb, Sea of Stars, and Chained Echoes.
>>12138584those games will run fine even on the snapdragon 865. Do aim for higher than 8 gb ram though, it matters a lot for PC emulation.
>>12138586I just dunno if I can afford another 70 bucks on the handheld, but I do have a week to decide. I figure 12gb would probably do the trick though.
>>12138221Someone near me is selling the RP5 with grip and screen protector for $150. I'm thinking of getting it while I wait for the RP6. I might even use the RP5 instead. Just looking to play PS2 and maybe some switch but not a deal breaker. Just want PS2Is $150 a good deal?
>>1213859212gb will be fine
That said, even the 8gb model should be more than enough up to Wii emulation right?
>>12138597RP5 struggles with like 5% of PS2 games but otherwise it's fine.
>>12138597Seems like a waste to get both the 5 and the 6, but if you're set on getting something in the meantime, you could do worse.
One day a high-powered small linux handheld will exist...
>>12138607I'd sell the RP5 once I get the 6 or gift it to someone
>>12138616Then I guess that's fine.
>>12138598I went ahead and upgraded it to the 12gb model. Got it in Dragon Yellow too.
>>12138609I don't know why we don't have a small 4 inch 720 p that can play switch games yet .I'd pay $500
>>12138626500 is nothing
>>12138289The problem with AYN/Retroid is that they don't use 4:3 screens, its 1240 x 1080. Its closer to a 1:1 aspect ratio because Retroid were exposed last year for trying to peddle this screen at a 1280 x 960 panel with the Mini V1. So the Thor didn't win in that regard either.
>>12137673>>12137716>snapdragon 8 gen 2 with 4 gigs of ram and 64 gigs internal storage and a 640p screenMAXIMUM Zhou
>>12137806You could probably rig it so any haptic feedback in a game sends a signal to one of those wifi onahole things and makes it move every time the game uses rumble>>12137990True retro is having a stick and only one button
>>12138609Literally the rp5 with rocknix Let's you overclock even
I got banned from the retroid discord for antisemitism
>>12138159Your cell phone.
>>12138206This felt like such an unnecessary time to release a successor to the 5.
>>12138289>GBA? Bottom screen.Unironically looks better on wider screens, you have no idea what you're talking about.
>>12138651pics or it didn't happen
>>12138670Its in the archive, around April I think
>>12138631Sanest ayaneofag
>>12138515unironically i am. i only have a miyoo mini plus and i want to play ps2 and gc portably. the dpad bottom version is basically an odin 2 portal for $100 cheaper and a slightly smaller screen
>all new retroid and Ayn handhelds have the same slim glass front and wide psp layoutSo it seems as if the hobby is fjnally converging into a single design because that's what redditors and normies want. Similar to how we lost all the cool phone designs of the 00s and 10s and now every phone is the same, no matter the company or line, just with different specs. Unless anbernic stops sitting the bed, this hobby is basically dead since I don't think chinks cma convince people to just buy the latest model every year.
>>12138779Ayn and retroid are the same company and their designer likes that stupid glass front, nothing more
>>12138779>psp layoutActually they got rid of that kek, we're back to the RP5 design
>>12138748Genuine question, if it's about stick on top, why not get a Thor?
>>12138779>Le hobby is over doompostingOkay? So what? We got the Thor, we fucking won.
>>12138810I already have a N3DSXL, and the Thor is significantly more expensive than the RP6
>>12138779Image didn't attach for some reason.
What is the point of all these useless android devices with old unsafe android versions? Why not use a phone with lineageos?
>>12138827Old android handles storage better than the newest version, because muh security
>>12138836>security badChink shill moment
>>12138840what the fuck are you doing on your handheld that you're worried about security? are you doing your taxes on a chinese tablet???
>>12138825This pic is like playstation guy walking on stage and just saying the price
>>12138840https://source.android.com/docs/core/storage/scoped
>>12138836>Old android handles storage better than the newest versiononly the shittiest android helds like run an android old enough to have non-scoped storage because they literally can't run anything newer
>>12138180I bought one I'm gonna give as a gift for someone, but am currently "testing" (AKA fucking around with the stock games)N64 is better than I thought but not as playable as I would like. Dreamcast is nigh unplayable. Even PS1 has issues, Crash 3 runs jittery and Need for Speed 3 runs well in menus but utterly beefs it during gameplay. Considering all sounds play at full speed, I'm going to guess that's anti-piracy kicking in and not emulator performance. Oh well, I have my own 'held I dearly love but since the recipient for the R36 is almost exclusively a Pokémon gamer, they'll be well served.
So you guys think I'll get my Pocket Fit before the end of next month? I've never done one of these indiegogo campaigns for a device so I'm not sure how it works.
>>12138920Yeah it's funny mine came with DoA 2 on Dreamcast and it barely runs lmao. Crash 2 also keeps playing the music in the start menu, I can't even tell what PS1 emulator it's using
>>12138923>before the end of next monthyou got a day bro
>>12138956shieeee my bad im kinda off that good kush rn
>>12138956Well that is true. I guess I could have said by the end of November.
>>12138792That and it must be cheaper to laminate the screen that way. Anbernic wouldn't do it if it cost a cent more, I'm sure.
>>12138827Where's your SD card slot?
>>12139010You shut your whore mouth
>>12139020Where is it, piggy?
>could have created any UI you want>but decided to make a shitty cheesy ugly launcher instead that can't do much else>make the android version a closed source paid app just because fuck you
Anyone else really like Console Launcher's look and feel. The only thing I need is better frontend music. I guess I could swap out the default music for the Marvel 2 character select theme on repeat.
>>12139031real niggas use Beacon
>>12139023YOU KEEP MY DROPPED FEATURES OUTTA YOUR DAMN MOUTH *slaps you with my powkiddy brand tennis racket*
>>12139031>launcherjust click the app and then the game>b-but
>>12139031front ends are for retards that dont actually play their roms
>>12138923Which one did you order? They said they are going to ship them from the highest to the lowest specs.
>>12139065>>12139084>I need to look at my games list screen because.......I JUST DO, OKI will never understand frontendfags.>turn on device>go to RA>click game I want>play gameLike is that really so hard for some people?
>>12138827>Why not use a phone with lineageos?because phones suck for gaming, unless you want to play angry birds or candy crush>b-but phone controllers!disgusting
>>1213914012gb+256gb So the one they sent out to the reviewers.
>>12138636it's oled so just pretend the extra pixels don't exist and you won't notice
>>12139154>>12139084>>12139065I just want a nice system GUI like the XMB on the PSP.
>>12139154Some people just want a version of that that isn't total dogshit, or limited to up to 5th gen, or locked to worse versions of the existing emulators.
>>12139157>phones suck for gamingYou're literally playing games on chinked up old phones, but go off
>>12139031I prefer Daijisho, I like that it has a tab for pinned items as well as the usual general app section.
>>12139158It shouldn't take that long. There aren't that many orders for the 16GB models.
>>12139170XMB was cumbersome.
>>12139181can do: phones have no buttons for gaming, phone controllers suck, sharing a battery means you're wearing out the phone 2x faster, resolution is bad for anything but GBA and PSP, notifications and calls interrupt games OR turning them off means you're missing potential emergency ones, touch controls suck, only good for DS and that's changing.
>>12139170It's called retroarch and it's shit.
>>12139193>>12139191It doesn't scale well with tons of items like in RA or on the PS3, but its concepts were alright on a more limited system like the PSP
>>12139181It's about the form factor/speakers/linux.
>>12139185I wonder why
>>12139154RA is a front end you dumpass
>>12139208RA has frontend options but don't be a disingenuous faggot and act like that's even its main feature.
>>12138827Then don't use android and use the 1 year old rocknix builds that never get updated either
>>12139192That's a lot of cope that translates to>yeah but I want more nostalgia plastic to clog up my display shelveskek
>>12139229>plastic Cope my handheld is metal
>>12139229I think you got lost on your way to/from reddit
Why are all chinkhelds running Android now? Isn't there like three times less input lag on Linux? Are these things even worth buying now? I can't play retro games on my Android phone (unless they're turn based).
>>12139240>redditors are the ones not buyfagging and shillingTell me how I can get to your bizarro universe
>>12139241Its less effort to just slap Android on the device since all these soc were made for it anyway. Its lazy and shitty, so on brand for china.
>>12139010On my linux handheld

>>12139259gee, I hope no one discovers I'm playing pirated games, how embarrassing
>>12139248>>12139259>>12139256That makes sense.>>12139253Does Linux somehow struggle with better chips? I don't get it.
>>12139031>>12139065>>12139084>>12139154Yeah, I hate using my PSP, 3DS, Wii, Switch, etc where all the games are right there up front. Way too convenient and intuitive, led to too much of that "playing video games" bullshit. I'd rather have to launch another program first to add a pointless extra step so that I don't feel like I'm using a game console. And that program had better be ass-ugly too, and really sterile with a text-only interface so I can feel like a nerd who hacked a DOS terminal in 1991 to run Super Mario Bros and then didn't play it. Bonus points if I choose my games through a literal file browser, because I'd rather just be fucking around with an actual computer and making Excel spreadsheets. Can't wait until all our houses are replaced with brutalist apartment complexes and we only eat unseasoned rice, but for now I guess we can just keep sniffing glue and fingering each other's asses to pass the time.

>>12139281>>12139276You can boot rocknix on retroid and ayn high end devices for example. Someone just has to make an image for your device.
>>12139241Android is better than linux in every way BUT latency. It's like how pcfags wonder why people play consoles when pc gets better fps yet on consoles the game just works.
Why do you even care what other people do with their money?
>>12139273>where all the games are right there up frontBut that's not what you frontendfags want. You want music and gay wallpapers because you feel like you need every waking second to be entertaining from all the brainrot and dopamine overdosing you put yourselves through.
>>12139287>Android is better than linuxAndroid is Linux.
>>12139256Yeah ok>go into any h-game android thread>everyone talking about which linux emulator they have to use to play h-games and how half the games don't work anyway
>>12139290Why do you care that I'm not purchasing chinese knockoff handhelds? And before you say that this is what the general is supposed to be about, I'll remind you that's admitting these are shill threads since it's supposed to be for handhelds in general.

>>12139301GNU/linux and Android/linux are only the same in the kernel
>>12139301Android is the Windows 8 version of linux
>>12139317Some of the custom OSes running on these handhelds dont contain GNU userland either.
>>12139225It’s a front end for zoomers that can’t handle multiple standalone emulators
>>12139303The real problem is most of the games aren't controller friendly
>>12139362That's because real games use mouse and keyboard but /hhg/ isn't ready for that conversation
>>12138331>I always end up pressing them by accident.Don't map them?>>12138105>They seriously made the device shorter to accommodate shittier speakers again?I didn't know people used the speakers. I have chink IEMs to go with my chinkheld. Personally I like the redesign. D-pad at bottom made no sense for a handheld that is targeting Switch emulation and Winlater. Not that I'd get one since I only play retro games at work and am getting the Ayaneo Pocket AIR Mini thing 80. Can't wait to replace my Miyoo Mini Plus with it and sell my shitty Retroid Pocket Pro 4 which is unusable without the grip I don't want to carry if I need to use the sticks which is 90% of the usecases I have for it that the Miyoo can't already do. >>12137898Says 108-150 for me on Alixpress official shop. My issue is I was expecting 150 and to be able to play 3DS. What we got is something that can only play up to DS which is awesome and it looks awesome, but man 480p and DS only is a deal breaker for me. Kinda sad. Was looking forwards to 2x integer scale on DS at least with native 3DS but nope. Maybe one day. When I saw the specs I was honestly looking at the Ayn Thor but 250 just to nostalgia about 3DS/DS when I have a functional "new 3DS XL", a launch green 3DS, a DSi XL and a DS Lite already isn't going to cut it. I want to be able to have an entire library for both 3DS and DS on a single system at a reasonable price (150 tops). As it stands I can just use my cartridge loader with microSD card and play it native since this is only shooting for a native experience. But the Thor DOES have that delightful dual OLED panel setup. It's gotta be dirt cheap for me to tolerate a non-OLED screen these days. My Steamdeck, all 4 of my PC monitors (2 for me and 2 for my wife), both my TVs, our phones, watches, etc are all OLED. I'm not going back to LCD filth without a fight or an INCREDIBLE deal. Thankfully Ayaneo knows that with their nearly perfect Pocket Air Mini.
>>12139393Eroge aren't real games so no excuse there.
>>12139420Is Ayaneo android stuff good? Their windows tool is DOGSHIT
>>12139420that 'perfection' one would be amazing if it could run ps2 games at native res, without slowdowns. Shame.
Linux on Thor when?
Am I the only one impressed by how seamless dual screen shit is on the Thor? It's an HD DS and an HD 3DS with concessions
I wish the DS had games
Ayaneo won.
>>12138160this is bait.

Someone should make a handheld with swappable d-pad and analog stick positions like the 360 Pro Circuit controller.
>>12139425It wasn't for a long time but it has gotten excellent and they wisely didn't load some stupid current Android version. It has 13 for the maximum compatibility. I'd still use emulation station tho, it's better than everything.>>12139428Early reviews says it does so well enough but PS2 emulation in general is ass no matter what you're using unless you're on PC.
>>12139535I'm tired, Zhou...
>>12139535Can this run melonDS? Literally all I care about.
>>12139543It is an RK3568 which has been around for aeons and is in hundreds of chinkhelds so obviously yes. But you're only going to be able to do most DS games and zero 3DS games.
>>12139483More like I won because I only buy Ayaneo devicesMy first and only chinkheld is the Pocket Air Mini

>>12139617Surely there is a middle ground.

>>12139535I was the anon who called the 480p res a couple of weeks ago...hoped I was wrong though
>>12137898Because Anbernic was hyping it up themselves like retards
>>12139970Anbernic also confirmed the specs on their website. 3566 level, so some ds needs frameskip in 2025. Shit screens despite even game console using good one's. Only under 100 in china and even then, chinks are still insulted it's still around 80 for those specs. Max clearly went insane. The obly thing, there's no other hope. The cheapest thor is like 350 and doesn't look bad. Retroid's putting the dpad on top now and the mini/2s successor will be even more cucked. Ayaneo became cheap and decent overnight to the point chinks are suprised. 2026 will be the year of handheld insanity, and no one will save it
>>12139993>so some ds needs frameskip in 2025You've got to be fucking kidding me
Is the Thor the only option if I want a clamshell that plays DS well now that the RG DS is confirmed to suck?
>>12140001Apparently. Personally, I'm waiting to see if Retroid throws their hat in the ring and comes up with like a dual screen RP6.
>>12140001Other then out of production Nintendo handhelds
>>12140015>out of productionNintendo DS ML
>>12140015My brain is too fried to play Pokémon games at 1x speed nowadays sadly
>>12140029If we're talking about gen 4, it's not your brain that's the problem.
>>12140029I get this but romhacks that allow running everywhere and other QOL stuff is enough for me
>>12139262yes the chinese will come for your pirated games and not misuse your network in a botnet to attack your country.
So what do we do lads? Wait until gen2 of the anbernic ds? There's no under 120ish alternative right? Not the end of the world i guess, just gotta wait longer. Got like 8 million jrpgs to get through on other platforms anyway so not too bothered here. It was exciting though :(
>>12139535Why is a rockchip not running linux
>>12140042At $100 Zhou couldn't be bothered It will probably get a rocknix build though
>>12139241Mediakek doesn't have good linux drivers for their higher end chips
>>12140042Dual screen support still sucks on Linux and the chinks would rather just throw android on it instead of making a good custom os

Why can't we have linux handhelds anymore? I don't want to use a stripped down phone.
>>12139535>an overclocked 353H with a top screen glued on Minimal effort went into this
I can’t believe low effort slop designs are already being imposed by the consumers before we even got an actual 4:3 handheld that isn’t shit in some key way
How is rocknix on the retroids with sd865? I'm looking at the mini v2 and have no interest in Android on it. I already have a old phone with a sd865 + 8bitdo ultimate controller, but dpad on bottom sucks for the 90s systems.
>>12140163Blah Blah Blah, chinks acutally got in trouble for including roms for once on top of android handhelds doing way better in china. For companies like powkiddy, most of the money they make from their linux handhelds are from masses of people only buying them when they have roms. The rgb20s, rgb30 until everyone else use that type if aspect ratio, v90 and v90s are exceptions as the v90 sold better than even cheap android chinkhelds. Anbernic acutally only includes rom they're allowed to and even teamed up with snk to include their roms legally. Sjgam always tried to lock down their linux stuff, but now their latest releases are an even more locked down version of android where it's difficult to add your own games. Game console seems to be doing fine, but powkiddy's lower tier offerings like the upcoming rgb50 will only have linux through dualboot. I'm in contact with powkiddy occasionally, you might like their new stuff when they acutally come out>>12140173[Jedi mind trick] You want the trimui smart pro s...
>>12140176>their linux handhelds are from masses of people only buying them when they have roms.I mean, they're not wrong. I bought my first anbernic with the roms because I'm too lazy to download everything. Just copied them and on my next handheld I bought it naked.
>>12140176Is Powkiddy getting on the dual screen bandwagon anytime soon?
>>12140193While it's why a bunch of companies are droping linux, the law doesn't care no matter ehat with android as anbernic tends to include apps in chinaland that act as freeshops. That's fair game but only they've been able tp get away with it. It's also a chip thing, since some chip makers don't work with you wje you include roms and powkiddy wants to use better chips for cheaper to survive. That's how the company snail was able to work with snapdragon with the i7s years back. They never included roms
>>12140176How is the screen on the trimui smart pro. It is very important for me that it can do high brightness in sunny environments since in the summer I mainly game on a south facing balcony where a Steamdeck 512gb lcd only bright games are playable. My rgb30 does a better job, but the dpad and button is shit. I'm looking at the cubexx, arc, trim smart pro or mini v2.
>>12140205I'm acutally not sure how good the screen is in sunlight so I wouldn't know. I also wouldn't reccomend the current smart pro as the smart pro s should be releasing soon and doesnt get hot with 5th gen and under.
>>12140195Are they even in business anymore? They have become irrelevant and I'd be surprised if they employ more than 3 people
>>12140108The screen is incredible. Its like holding a small TV
Zero28 comes in today am excited
If I buy a high endurance sd card will it bottleneck my RG 353 vs a gaymen SD card that costs 3x as much
>>12140293Bottleneck what? A standard SD is more than enough, the only reason you'd need a better card is if you're trying to run Android from it (and it'd still be bad).
>>12140272No idea, they are just the only chinkheld brand with a good hinge record and no monkeypawing, only issue is using the cheapest plastic on planet Earth

>>12140552I don't have the grip but I do really enjoy the Thor so far.>>12140559Yeah dual stick games on it are rough but I have big hands and mostly want to play dpad shit on it
>>12140576>>12140559I thought the dpad was uncomfortable not the dual sticks.is dpad still comfy for long time playing anon?

cringe gimmick
>>12140578Well the games that use the dpad only tend to use the face buttons and those are fine for me with how I hold the device. I find it hard to play anything using the back shoulder buttons and the asymmetrical sticks while holding the device without balancing it on my knees or a desk.But that's kind of the nature of handhelds. The only ones I have ever found comfortable are the Steam Deck and the ROG Ally but at that size its hard to call them handhelds
>>12140389fucking finallyit's been like 3 months of radio silence since they announced it, I thought they canned it.>no fan intakegood, my first fear is done, this will be actually pocketable unlike the anbernic slop

>>12140559>>12140648>you MUST get arthritis to be considered one of the cool kids
>>12140732If the device needs the grips to prevent injury it should be included with the hand held.

>>12137492Dead on arrival. Why not just bump it by 50$ and get a mid tier chip in?? The screen res im begrudgingly okay with at the size it is but come on at least have 3ds playable
>>12140732trust me, you'll never be a cool kid whipping out a chink handheld lol nigga you playing on bootleg shit wheres your switch at? wheres the psp? what phone you got haha
>>12140774Na a Soulja Boy™ can pull
>>12138546How does the plastic disc not scratch the screen to hell and back?
>>12140578Both are uncomfortable, but obviously the D-PAD moreso. There's a reason why 99% of Thor owners buy a grip. It's been normalized on Retroid/AYN devices similar as to how Apple expects you to buy a charger to actually use your phone these days.For all the shit they get, at least Ayaneo still tries to design with ergonomics in mind.
>>12140732If you need to buy a grip not as an “optional” add on but because you need it for any sort of comfort, it’s a shit handheld. Retroid are the worst in this regard, and some of AYN’s handhelds after the Odin 1 are similar in this regard.
>>12140771>at least have 3ds playable3DS isn't playable below $150
>>12140741>>12140774>>12140827Grip is just for long play sessions at home or similar environments, retards. You use the handheld normally when taking it places.
Is it even possible to buy one an ayoneo air windows handheld? It seems like they keep announcing things and then are never actually released.

>>12140856grip is to cope with your bad purchase decision dumbass.comfort is the number 1 priority with a device/controller. if you have to start purchasing accommodations or use it less just to make it palatable and comfortable to use it's not a good product, period.
>>12139192that is why you dont use your main phone as a console. you buy an used one.if you are dedicated enough, you will be able to find a strong enough phone for gaming at a fraction of the price. all you would need to do at most is external repair. and try to NOT make it look as ugly as it was.
>>12140889>>12140856I don't know you guys, but I played fine with a brick game boy the whole day, or a Nintendo DS. This ergonomics faggotry only exists because you drink too much onions, if you can play with a NES controller you can play with any chinkheld
>>12140856>at home This is actually a good argument since there's no good dual screen home console experience outside the wiiu
Fanless metal handhelds are technicaly liquid cooled when you hold them in your hand
the portal reaches max comfort with the grip tho, it feels like holding a xbox controller
idk what it is but the RP5 feels more easier to handle without a grip but when im using the grip i dont feel my hands cramping as much but it doesnt feel as good to control.
>>12139968>why would you play higherThe point is that it can't even do 1x. Why would you think "uh you don't need 2x" is a counter to that?Stop being retarded.
>>12140897Did that, it sucked. Finding the right controller is shit, because oh it doesn't fit right, because they're 'generic' and have to fit every phone size or don't accomodate cases. Was a learning experience/waste of time and money
>>12140330'eck
>>12140889>comfort is the number 1 priority with a device/controller.Not when portability is such a big factor, dumbass.
>>12140512I have OG hardware hooked up to a CRT but sometimes I want comfy handheld. Nothing wrong with having options.
>>12139535I was looking forward to getting one of these but now I've seen the specs, there's not much point.

if i just wanna mostly play emulated stuff like PSX, GBA, SNES etc is it worth it getting a chink handheld? or is just punching up and getting a steam deck a better idea?
>>12141085I have a Steamdeck and it's great for higher end emulated stuff, but it's a big chunk of plastic to lug around when you just want a SNES fix. So I bought a cheap RG35XXSP which I find perfect for grabbing and playing the lower end systems at random intervals.
>>12140330>not having both a small android (which can boot rocknix and soon will run ARM steamos) and a full x86 'eck
>>12141085A Steam Deck is a lot of money and a big thing to lug around. If you just want to emulate 6th gen and below pretty much anything on the market has got you covered; you can just buy a low-end device for less than a hundred bucks to start. If you get really into it you can upgrade, if not you haven't blown $600 on something you don't end up using.
It's >reddit but I need the Odin 3 Mini to look like this size-optimized mockup
>>12141085Just get an Ayaneo Pocket Air MiniYou literally don't need more though you might need less
oled screen or nothing
>>12139483The Pocket DS was a blood sacrifice to ensure the thousand year reich of Ayaneo
>>12139849I don't know, the steamgriddb scraping fucking shits itself sometimes and it'll pick the wrong cover art, but otherwise, yea it does just work. Anything that already has a built-in app drawer mogs ES-DE
>>12141085Miyoo handhelds do that perfectly already and are nice and portable. I think the Miyoo Mini Plus is the perfect form factor but they have the new Mini Flip which is quite appealing: https://www.keepretro.com/products/miyoo-mini-flip-console?variant=46176439468194>>12141202>Ayaneo Pocket Air MiniIt definitely will and a lot more. Can't wait for mine to get here.
>>12141085Get any of the Anbernic XX devices. They all use the same H700 chipset which can easily handle all that stuff with no issues, even lightweight shaders on top. They're pretty cheap MSRP, but usually on sale for even less all the time, around $30-$60 depending on the model, so really light investment. If you're happy with just that, that's great. If you wind up wanting more later, at least you didn't spend much on the first one. Lots of different models with different form factors, screen sizes, etc. so just pick the one that strikes your fancy.
>>12140856For a small pocket friendly handheld sure, grips are perfectly reasonable at home. But if you own a 5.5”, 6”, or god forbid a 7” device and you’re still paying for a grip, that’s just a coping mechanism because you made a bad purchase desu.>>12140875If you want an Ayaneo Air, you’ll have to go looking for them on eBay or the Retro Handhelds discord. Ayaneo devices are a bit in the “made to order” category.
>>12141040im sure you'd love the rg nano then, retard.
>>12137486Twin stick shooters work very well. As anon said it won't be as precise as a mouse, but nothing is. However dual stick means you can aim any direction potentially faster than a mouse.
anyone figure out a way to make the joysticks less miserable to use on a rp5/flip 2 for precise movements?

Need a small-ish, good battery life, comfortable handheld for travel. Don't need it for anything more than PS1. What's a good option?
the next chain of evolution for handhelds is to make windows ones pocket sized, because android is a dead end at this point and their 1984 bullshit they're pulling is effectively killing the future of any handhelds using android
>>12141542budget?

damn, they werent kidding...android really is lagdroid
Terribly forced memes ITT
>>12141542Feels like ayaneo pocket air mini is an easy recommend for a handheld that level and the budget king right now.
>>12141552Sub $100 I guess, I can't imagine I'd have to pay much more for good 5th gen performance
>>12138147You got any devblog?
>>12141583no it is though, because i checked it with my phones 240fps c amera and 7frames of input lag? thats kek!
I'm confused, so the new RP6 is just a slightly bigger RP5 with a newer chip? And the RP G2 is a RP5 with an even newer chip, newer than the one in the RP6, but less powerful and probably worth worse driver support?
>>12141587gotta agree with the other anon then, a few months ago I woulda recc'd the trim ui smart pro or any cheaper anbernic, but now with the ayaneo coming out, you can get something much much better for barely any more money
>>12141594Here's the more confusing part:The chinese got benchmarks today for the RP G2 and it performs faster than the Thor, Odin 2 and potentially RP6. Also all the drivers work for it without issues. Using benchmark programs, the G2 is faster than the Gen 2 chip and keeps beating it.
>>12141594well it was going to be something new and better but reddit niggers ruined it

zero 28 is definitely better than the 28xxwill have to open it up though, dpad is a little too sensitive

>>12140176I dont get it, doesn't Android also need you to add ROMs? Or is there an Android loophole in which they can send you the roms without issues?I dont get this reason to abandon Linux. But I love flashing OS' and ROMs to my systems.
>>12140349Indeed. Would love that size or even 28xx SP, without the twin sticks. Specially in Silver or Dracula Purple (Todays 4chan colour)
