It's literally just a Retroid Flip 2 with a Souljagame background on the android screen

On the plus size at least whoever falls for the scam will get a decent handheld until the hinge falls off and retroid tells them to fuck off.

AAAAAAY, someone on V told me about this general. How are the Nintendo DS Lite and DSi XL holding up nowadays. I have a non-modded 3DS that I love and do NOT want to mod but do the Nintendo DS still work with R4 cards?
>>
>>12151002
why not mod? there's no real reason not to at this point, you can always set it back to stock later on if wanted.
>>
>>12151002
>but do the Nintendo DS still work with R4 cards?
Why wouldn't they? It's not like the systems updated. If you get any modern flashcart it's less convenient on the DS since it doesn't autoboot (I think this is how the exploit gets around DSi and 3DS?) and instead requires you to tap the game before loading into the menu. If you're bothered by Activity Log tracking on the newer systems this gets really old, really fast because you'll have tens of thousands of hours on one single title because of it.

Seriously though, mod your 3DS. No one uses flashcarts on them for a reason.

I don't want to mod the 3DS as that 2DS in that picture... I fucked but modding a couple years ago and complete forgot where I left off. also, I have a family and modding was never my thing but playing games always is. what about another handheld that is best for GBA and PS1 games? is there a budget handheld that will work with those games. Those are primary the retro games I play.

Look up videos of the RG35XXSP if you want something cheap. There's others with that same H700 chip, that just happens to be my favorite.

Still needs some work and for the price to come way down but it's a right step towards working back to the perfect Xperia Play experience we lost.

Why the fuck dont they offer black buttons on the rainbow grey? It looks so good.

Rainbow sucks, you notice the crease lines way more like on the hinges and panel glass.

Why can’t the perfect 4:3 device just…exist?

Because then you'd stop consooming.

>>12151406
Pocket air mini is close enough for me
>>
>>12151406
The perfect 4:3 device is any device of your choice with a 120Hz screen, a beam simulator CRT shader preset, and https://forums.libretro.com/t/exodus-crt-tvs-overlays-collection-with-day-and-night-support/9192 one of these cozy CRT overlays. Stop being afraid of black bars.

would be for me too if it had a120hz oled screen and full ps2/gc compatibility

Anyone else think the Thor is too heavy for extended play? And I can hold a Steam Deck and ROG Ally forever. I think it's where the weight is concentrated or something
>>

white will get dirty
black will get smudgy
purple just looks like shit

get a grip or stop having baby hands.
>>
>>12151595
Yeah, I felt that way about "light" handhelds while not having trouble with the Deck too.
>>
>>12151661
it's ergonomics, my rp3 feels like heavy shit, but stuff like a deck or a legion go is comfortable for hours
>>
>>12151595
Probably ergonomics. There's a reason why all the redditors ended up buying the official AYN Thor grip™ for $20.

>>12152053
There were multiple stages to 3DS hacking, and for most of its active years it didn't have a redditor proof guide that explains what a root folder is. He's probably coming from the early al9h days and, admittedly, getting mine up to speed was flying in the dark as by the time I got around it they started to omit a9lh migration.

His "persona" is way to real and specific to be an act.

I'm just glad he toned down the nasally booger accent

it was truly unbearable in some of his videos
>>
>>12152161
He is funny and useful, I like him now and then.
He can be too much if you watch two or three videos on a row.

His self deprecating humour reminds me a lot of SHMUP JUNKIE, with his Redneck Meth-head jokes. A bit too much, but humble enough to make you root for him.

Conceited "influencers" are cringe as fuck.

The nice part about tech dweeb is that he can say just as much as russ with half the video time of retro game corp. It's more concise with information you want and it's pretty funny with jokes.

How long do you think it'll be before we can get x86 devices the size of the Thor?

Is the RG34XXSP worth picking up, and if so where should I buy it from?

>>12152424
Ampown store on aliexpress is where I got mine. Its great, obviously excels at GBA and portmaster but PS1 and such look fine
>>
>>12152368
you mean like the gpd win?

>>12152446
That one's a decent amount bigger but ig you're right on it being 'close enough', I should've said 'as cheap as the thor with comparable battery life'.
>>
>>12152368
probably a couple years before they can get their shit together enough for that, sadly
who knows though, because earlier this year I was complaining how you had to spend 100 bucks for n64 but now mangmi and the pocket air mini came out, so who knows
I'm not gonna upgrade from my flip 2 until they do though

I ordered mine from Anbernic's direct store on aliexpress and only paid 60 bucks for it total. Which isn't too shabby considering they cost like 90 bucks on amazon.

I thought the Thor would be an endgame device for me, but I have too many issues to use it for everything

how cheap do we think the miyoo mini plus is going to be for 11/11?

>>12153551
Those are all the reasons why I didn't buy a Thor.
Honestly, I think a horizontal handheld + RDS is the way to go to play 3DS and Wii U games. You can remove the second screen once you're done playing those consoles and you don't have to worry about the hinge.
