I just bought the pocket air mini
I heard powkiddy has stuff this month. Any idea what it could be if they're dropping linux?
i'm gooning to my RP6 12GB preorder rn
>>12148129something kino presumably
>>12148148Post pics when you get it so I can goon
Do you rike?
>>12148150I'm wondering if they'll put an end to all this dual screen insainity.
I'm tired of seeing all this gay ass dual screen garbagedual screen is NOT retro
You know what, I have a Steam deck, a TrimUI Brick and a 2DSXL. There's literally no reason to buy anything else.How the fuck do I stop following chinkheld news?
>>12148296>>12148301>>12148304I genuinely don't get it, it literally can't run the most popular ds emulator
>>12148089based and pocket mini pilled
>>12148296>>12148301>>12148304looks nice but the internals and screens are rancid dogshit. you would have to be a desperate chinkheld addict to waste your money on this when an improved version will obviously come out soon after
>>12148301That blue is super nice, I'll give them that. Maybe this time next year they'll ship a version with internals that can run the thing it's supposed to be.Christ, if it can't even run anything that requires dual analog, what's the point?
>>12148306The DS is older now than the SNES was when the DS was new.You're getting older too, anon.
lol why don't you fags just use your phones
if the thor can't run champions of norrath at full speed i'm doing a fucking chargebacki need ps2 on the shitter bros i'm starting to go insane
reading through these threads, comparison sites and thinkin i should just get a steam deck
>>12148786i'm in the same boat but they're too goddamn fucking bigif i could get something 3DS-sized that played 6th gen i'd be fucking thrilled
>>12148786for me, it's MM+, RP6, and Steam Deck together to take care of all of my gaming needs
>>12148729Phones are gay, there's your (you) time waster
Which cheap one should I buy on UK Amazon?
>>12148082>didn't use /hhg/ in subject line or pic
>>12148786Ignoring the size issue, is there a massive discrepancy in build quality between Android handhelds made by Retroid, Ayn, etc, and the x86 handhelds made by Steam, Asus, etc?
>>12148724WHAT THE FUCK
>>12148296>>12148301>>12148304Could have been the greatest chinkheld of all time
Any rumors about a 4.7" screen vertical handheld coming out?
Okay fuck it. Last post number will decide for me. Even = D-pad on the top. Odds = Bottom. Dubs = I wait for RP7.
>>12149480Its time.
if anyone wanted a spare RP4, Soulja Boy's selling rebranded ones at a pretty good discount.
>>12149504Soulja... I know people here are stupid, but that's a 3 or 3+...
>>12149504you can literally see they're different
nigga stole my start and select buttons, can't have shit in Detroit(I know they're on top)
>>12149504I wonder if Soulja Boy is remotely profiting from selling the RP Flip 2. Unless he's secretly selling the D1100 model at a slight price hike it looks like he stands to lose money.
>linux>open source>can't update you own retroarch cores>stuck with shitty 2023 coreswhat's the fucking point then
>>12149738>Can't update retroarch cores manuallyJust kill yourself, zoomie
>>12149504I’m not giving any money to that stupid n
>>12149742I mean, I know I can download the precompiled retroarch cores, but I'm not totally sure if that would work on my machine.
Best handheld with microswitched sticks like the NGP?
Do any of you play retro games on a VR headset?
I never see any mention of the R36S in these threads.I just bought one a few weeks ago and it's pretty good.
>>12149762https://buildbot.libretro.com/nightly/I know zoomers are dumb as fuck, but I feel bad just making fun of you.
>>12149825lmao thanks for spoonfeeding you dumb faggot
>>12149758seethe and cope bitcch
>>12149827What can I say? I want to help
Odin 3 Mini when?
Where is cockporn? That mexican nazi larper faggot hasn't post in days
>>12149825pretty sure most handheld devices use arm64/arm32
Is Beacon Launcher any good?
>>12149969If I share a link, I'll be called out for spoon-feeding a retard. Fuck you and your chinkheld zoomzoom kekaroo
Should I invest in a 1 TB Micro SD card for my handheld?
>>12150027Why do you need 1TB of games with you at all times on your chinkheld?
>>12150031To play? I missed a lot of games when I was younger, mainly Wii and GameCube games.
>>12150046You missed the point>at all timesWhat does 1TB let you do that 512GB doesn't?Do you intend to never delete a game from the card?
>>12150050No, I don't intend to. But I can just get a 512 GB I guess.
>>12148082Nothing will ever feel as good as this thing did. I am still heart broken the ribbon cable went out on mine ten years ago. Absolutely perfect handheld.
>>12148296Led to me getting a Thor. I hadn't paid attention to retro handhelds in a couple years but saw this thing, disappointed by specs and saw the Thor. Can't wait for it to arrive
>>12149810Completely and utterly mogged into irrelevancy by the G350
Should I be formatting my microSDXC card as FAT32 for my chinkhelds or is there a more modern file system to use for like exFAT?
>>12150076for a 2 card linux setup or what?
>>12150110No, just for holding my ROMs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvDowvWphFEI hate how the RG DS looks so nice and seems to have a decent hinge, but I still want to wait until review units are out before grabbing one.
Did they fix the wrong size screen problem on the Retroid Pocket Mini??
>>12150197If anything, Retroid will make it worse in its next iteration
I am once again begging you to purchase a MAGICZ ZERO28 (TM) for $35. It's almost sold out. >Update: purple is now sold out.
>>12150207I ALREADY HAVE ONE AND I'M CURRENTLY PLAYING IT
>>12150207Outta my way poorfag I ordered a Thor
>>12150207Can it play most Nintendo 64 games? Linux or Android?
>>12150236>didn't get a steamdeckshiggy
Fuck you guys for reccomending runahead to reduce latency, it locks up the road rash games making them unplayable with it on
>>12150245magic x is making one specifically for n64 if you wanna wait for that
>>12150280Oh. Hell yeah.
shart pro model s specs are out https://mechdiy.com/blogs/news/trimui-smart-pro-s-latest-enhanced-performance-better-heat-dissipation-and-a-smoother-experience
>>12150245Its on android, the stock OS is pretty good even. N64 is good outside known problem games like banjo tooie. This soc has vulkan support so there may be room for better performance. Iirc muos is working on a zero28 build. >>12150271I specifically said to not use run ahead as default and just stick with pic related
>>12150285This thing better be like $60.
Am considering picking up two of these, one for me and one as a gift for my brother, but the screen being smaller than a general smartphone screen is really putting me off. Still, for 50 USD and change it can't be too bad.
>>12150295agreed, it's marginally better than the original that released 2 years ago
>>1215029650 for both of them?
>>12150251Had one, didnt like it. Too big.
>>1215030582 for two.
>>12150292The hard gpu sync option seems to be missing gor me
Is the AI slop render guy here? You have competition
>$350 for a G3 12GB Konkr + case + shippingI was considering buying a RP6 or G2 and somehow ended up with this. I wonder how much I'm going to regret it...
>>12150207That dpad looks uncomfortable and those buttons look loud
>>12150349>12gb + caseYou're not poorfagging properly
>>12150338Oh its because I'm on vulkan nvm. I can see the difference still though. Thanks for the tips!
>>12150353Even worse, I'm mostly doing for the cheetos color.
Any recommended app for simply and quickly grabbing any roms on android? I like to keep full sets but some systems it's not feasible and it's tiresome to either use my pc for it or wrestle with web browser and then file manager, hunting the right website.
MAGICXZEROTWENTYEIGHT BROSWe will endeavor to improve the dpad on this nightI was not expecting a proper heatsink and a mesh on the vent. Impressive. Battery is out of the way as well despite this being a smaller device
>>12148304>>12148301>>12148296MAX ZHOU will personally fork melonDS and perfectly optimize it for this masterpiece of a handheld. Just you wait.
>>12150338With vulkan just set swaps to the lowest
TF is wrong with Drastic, it's never had a problem with any game I've thrown at it. Well, except for edge marking being the default, no idea what they were thinking
>>12150378Full IO for a 2.8in device. Very cool
I dont usually use krapton for this but I wanted to see what I'm covering. You want the right slightly less sensitive than the left because of how the screw pressure on the board is distributed.
>>12150315that's an r36s is it not?you can get them for 25 eachand better yet, for 80 bucks you can get two g350s which mog the r36
>>12150396thank you anon, keep us updated how it feels
>>1215040760 bucks even sometimesThis is why the 3326 is a gift from god
>>12150296If the screen is too small there's always the r50s. Same chip. Same game console company. It's pretty much an upside down version of that powkiddy
>>12150474>>12150407I appreciate the responses. I've got some comparing to do.
>>12150450uh oh
>>12150207I don't listen to game cucks
Why did Retroid rip off the Souljaflip? Right after ripping off the Odin, are they that shameless?
Loving my RG28XX with muOS.Really cool to be able to play Shenmue on something smaller than my palm.
>>12148729Many here do all their gaming on phones
>>12148729I actually really like playing the original LoZ on my phone because the colors are more saturated than on my Switch 2D.
I think partnering with a rapper would be a great idea for some sort of fighting game themed handheld, I feel like black appeal is a actual untapped market in these chinkhelds.
>>12150565>"ayo bruh why u buying a switch 2 just get u a playboy cart-y you can play mario on it and all dah otha games fo free"
>>12150565Ah yeah the group notorious for blowing hundreds a year on the latest iPhone to appear well off would spend money on a cheap toy they wouldn't even know how to load games to just because one rapper (likely an irrelevant one) decided to promote
>>12150207>YoutubeBASED BASED bVASED magicx anon. I only listen to gameCHADS in these chinkoid threads
>>12150575uhh yeah probably
Playboi Carti's name is too good for me to have picked anyone else to be the sponsor for a handheld
>>12150524A clamcel shaped like a controller and probably the only comfy one to exsit. A pocketable chinkheld with a snapdragon capable of acutally running some windows games. Battle of the clamcels. Two may enter. Only one will survive. Rated R.
>>12148082what game is that?
>>12150632I recognize that ugly furry art. Solatorobo.
>fell for the 256gb SD card meme >>12150031Its convenience. No one likes having to pop out an SD card to load up on a game just to try it out .What makes chinkhelds so cool is having so much in a small package at your fingertips.
>>12150031My ROM collection is massive and keeps it growing.I have two 1.5TB cards for my RP5 and Odin 2, and multiple 256GB cards fill with games up to PS1/N64 and put in my cheaper 4:3 handhelds.
I need every single PS2 Dynasty Warriors game on tap at all times desu
>>12150682I have a 4:3 cheapheld (353m) and 256gb isnt close to enough Ps1 , Nintendo DS and PSPs libraries are all bigger than 500gb alone
>>12150662>>12150682B-b-b-b-b-b-b-but reddit taught me a term called choice paralysis that excuses me for not liking videogames.
>>12148729
>>12148306funny, that's what your mom said to me last night
Speaking of sd cards, is there anything wrong with Kingston cards? People only ever recommend Sandisk or Samsung.I saw a cheap 1tb Kingston sd card and I'm tempted to buy it.
>>12150973They're fine
>>12150386There's a few games I tried that have issues, but many lesser known ones like Dementium 2 which just display a white screen. I can see some people being disappointed by its limited upscaling support since it only seems to be up to 2X for 3D games, but this is only a real dealbreaker if you're playing on a tablet or a PC. If you're playing on a handheld like the Thor then it's not really a big deal since most DS games are 2D, and the screen sizes are only like 6" and 3.92", you'll be saving on battery life at least and you'll hit the wall of diminishing returns fast. Of course if you're someone like Jewy then your main complaints are>muh hardware accuracy, you need powerful hardware (like the Thor, btw use code JEWY for 10% off your next order)or>muh Retrochievements!even though MelonDS only has an unofficial Android app right now which is a poor barometer of performance, and achievements aren't a good reason to play retro games anyways.
>>12148965RG35XXSP
>>12149468I hate verticalfags like you wouldn't even believe
>>12150386>>12151032>T.never tried playing Inazuma eleven 2 on drastic
>>12150807Kek why do y'all take playing with your toys so seriously?
>>12151103Why do you treat everything as a joke?
>>12151136These are literally toys.
>>12151152STOP HARASSING ME!
>>12151136Why do you treat everything seriously?
>>12150207I already have a rp2s though, what good would this device do me?
>>12151152Games are art.
>>12151276Games are fart.
How hard would it be to remove WiFi and the microphone from a 477m or rp mini v2? I cannot make up my mind between the two.
>>12151293They can be both.
>>12151298Both are easy anf would just require you to find the mic and wireless chips then cut the wires to the antenna or microphone. Cutting your WiFi will also kill Bluetooth BTW
>>12151298is there a reason for doing this?
>>12151348*cut the wire to the microphone and the antenna wire off the WiFi chip
>>12151354Severe mental illness.
>>12151354I don't need WiFi and certainly dont need a microphone. I don't intend to play anything past 4:3 or ps2 so both options seem like good choices. Mini v2 can run Linux and 477m cannot that ive seen but the 477m has a better screen that I may enjoy more. Why do these devices need constant internet and a microphone? These are phone chips, is there a gps in there too?
>>12151396Severe mental illness.
>>12150682What systems would you actually deem necessary?
>>12150297The only thing really missing is video out for a linux handheld. Its sad that most handhelds are android slop these days.
I just ordered the flip v2. Is the stock os competent enough or is there a stable good cfw?
>>12151460Rocknix supports video out on some devices, though it mostly supports running on devices that would usually come with android.
>>12151608yeah it's just android, use a front end tho
>Xi deleted all the posts about possible backdoors in chinkhelds Holy shit the schizo was right
What's going on here?
>>12151804Bekfast
I watched some teardown videos and it looks like the WiFi ANT0 and ANT1 cables are snap in which is easy enough. The mic is on the motherboard. I have a soldering iron, can I just melt that sucker off? Then I could care none who made my android build.
>>12151095True, I have no interest in that game
>>12151850Schizophrenia.
>not wiping down your handheld with an industrial magnet after each Chrono Trigger sessionCouldn't be me
>>12151738Huh?
>>12151738I hope Xi likes hearing me jerk off every time I use my chinkheld.
>>12151876不用担心
>have too many handhelds>too lazy to sell them and no friends to give them to
>>12151850If you dont want to desolder you could just apply tape directly on the mic and test after reassembly to make sure its useless.
>>12151907What do you have? I might buy one.
>>12151907I can be your friend
>>12151919actually now that i look at them it's just a g350 and a dsi with a broken shoulder buttonI guess my magic x 28 too because I don't really go out so there's no point in having such a small handheld
What do we think of ARMSX2?
>>12151298They're soldered on the board you fucking spastic
>>12152270pee is stored in the balls
>>12152182Getting a bug in Manhunt with textures not appearing, but that games a bitch to emulate without graphics issues anyway
>>12150973Kingston doesn't manufacture the flash memory themselves. They just buy it (often whatever they can get cheapest that passes some ratings) from other companies and shove it into some housing to sell it. SanDisk (co owned fab with koixia/WD) and Samsung do make there own, so the standard is at least somewhat higher.
For me, it's Lexar for my mirrorless camera
>>12152304I have had no problem with them. I own 3, they keep on going.Only cards I have gotten to go corrupted beyond reformatting were Patriot cards (and some old 14yo Sandisk cards that had a rough life)

I bought a bluetooth gamesir phone controller and to be honest its not that bad, I don't mind playing stuff like psp and gamecube and ps2 on my phone and the rest on my chinkshit. you guys made out like it was the worst experience ever but you dont even notice the black bars or phone case when you're playing. I feel like I saved money
>>12152730>dont even notice the black bars
>>12152740looks about on par with the rp5 and odin 2 portal
>>12152740the craziest part is that the controller i bought looks like a bluetooth version of the meme pic you all post. it only cost me $33 and is dark grey/blue. that guys photo is very unflattering. its really not that bad as a throw in your bag quickly to play some heavier emulation here and there
>>12152740>Thinks there's a difference bewteen that and the odin 2 portal guy>Thinks people outside of here and pisscord give enoguh of a fuck to buy a seperate 4:3 deviceLol. Kwab even. 16:9 on 1:1 devices and 4:3 on widescreen devices are the future

>>12153075waiting for the 35 but I really wish it came in that purple too
>>12153134>tiny buttons for some reason>>>lcdthey fucking blew it
>>12153218oh yeah glass front too wtf were they thinking, absolute meme handheld
I wish someone just made an RP Classic with a bigger chin and bugger buttons, it’s such a simple thing
>>12153218Vertislops changed for the worse when anbernig shrunk their face buttons. Rip rg300.>>12153230I wish for an rgarc with fullspeed waturn and higher end arcade. No sticks still.
The g8 galileo and the wired m30(with an OTG adapter) is all you need if you actually play games and you don't want to mindlessly consoome the next chinkheld like a woman. I have 36 mastered games on trannyachievements with both of them. The m30 is great for metroidvania and any other 2d platformer. G8 if you're playing 3d. I've mastered Order of Ecclesia a few days ago and I'm currently playing Dead Cells.
I know that ship has long sailed but still, what would a Game Boy Classic be like? Just the OG one with a backlit screen? Or a tiny version of it like NES/SNES classic? What games would be absolutely essential for it?
Why are there two threads, and how come a janny hasn't deleted one of them?
>>12153391/vr/ has a different janny since the hack and it seems to be a battle of the clamshells.
>>12151543Im in cybersecurity that is why I know the the current threats from state actors. I don't buy chink android devices so I can't test the networktraffic with wireshark. The only retro devices to buy is where you can replace the stock os.
>>12153134>Full glass front Game boyWHY. The Pocket DMG is a masterpiece in comparison.
>>12153230I have the 6 button classic and the button sizes are pretty nice for the bottom 3. I map C to A on gb/c games and it honestly feels more like an actual GB to me. Vertical never feels as comfy as horizontal. Really wish we'd get the rp2s successor we all want but I should probably bite the bullet and get the mini for that. Are the buttons really that small on the 4 button version?
>>12153447The shader looks like shit.
>>12153449It's just the dot shader, looks bad on camera but fine in person. I just need something to texture the pixels. Raw pixels annoy me.What do you use for gbc shader anon?
>>12148082Hey guys, I'm looking to get a handheld that emulates older games well through GBA at least, has good feeling buttons, a nice screen, and solid feeling build quality. Additionally, I like the horizontal layout, versus the vertical gameboy layout. I'm considering the Anbernic RG552 for the screen, but also looking at 505, 405M and 351P.Wondering if any of these are worth it, and if it is best to order directly from Anbernic or if third party sellers, like Aliexpres, are better. Additionally, I already have NDS Lite, N3DSXL, and Wii U. Would this just be a redundant purchase?Thanks for any input.
>>12153134>>12153435that looks like absolute fucking dogshit. chinks are braindead and addicted to all glass fronts
>>12148082Didn't notice a second thread so here's my post againI thought the Thor would be an endgame device for me, but I have too many issues to use it for everything>playing anything but DS or 3DS means either I have one screen on all the time giving me brainrot or pissing off my OCD or I turn a screen off and have to have pic related all the time unless I'm in a pitch dark room>ergonomics honestly suck and it gets tiring to hold for even a couple of minutes without an arm rest>buttons are too cramped and the I would have preferred bigger face buttons>android emulators still aren't matching up to Windows versionsFun purchases for certain occasions but I still go back to my RP5 or ROG Ally
would the 34xxsp buttons/d-pad pierce the membrane and dome switches like the 35xxsp?this is the best i can get from some guy's teardown, i'm not too familiar with how this stuff works and just don't want to get screwed
>>12148375I have a deck and I'm eyeing the brick. Other than form factor and ergonomics, why should I get it?
>>12153503I'd recommend the RG476H
>>12149810>>12150074I got a R36XX and it's surprisingly decent other than being dogshit at PSP and N64
