First for Ayaneo won
>>12181420Imagine being so autistic but also so retarded. If you have hard sync on along with vsync on it will obviously add latency. Most OSes enable threaded video for performance and that adds latency. That being said his settings are fine, run ahead usually sucks for GBA though.
>>12181542
>>12181565legendary thread, that was
>>12181602Anybody have an archive link for it?
The day before my Ayn is set to arrive and everyone starts posting their hinges all busted in the exact same spot
>>12181542Flip 2 supremacy
>>12181613HAHAHAHAHAIMAGINE TRUSTING AYNUS
>>12181609https://arch.b4k.dev/v/thread/711655318/
>>12181615based flip 2 GOD
>>12181613Everyone told you ages ago it was going to have the same hinge issues as the Flip 2 and that wasn't just people shooting in the dark, it's because Ayn and Retroid literally use the same parts.
>>12181621Yes but they fixed that issue. I didnt think they would be using the old design knowing it had a flaw
>>12181617Hardware dot "filter", I kneel. Btw, what kind of tape was he using?
>>12181626>they fixed that issue>he actually believed them
>>12181630looks like PTFE Tape (teflon tape) but could be wrong
>>12181613Let this be a lesson to never fall for the AYN/Retroid clamshell meme. Fucked up that even the cheapest used condition DSi LL will outlive a new AYN Thor, possibly even the Ayaneo DS depending on how often people use them.
Who do yo think is more correct on input latency?Random anon on the internet or a guy who is kicked from 3 discord server?
Still enjoying my RG35XX Plus after all this time, I have the translucent one. Translucent shells are the best, it reminds me of being a kid. God bless.
>>12181615 >*cracks ur hing*
>>12181669Thats my picI'm banned from the retroon server for antisemitism and I'm not even kidding lolfunny cause they all use my patented hinge fix now
>>12181669Saw muos devs throw bitchfits over latency concerns not even directed at them in more than one occasion, I'm inclined to trust that guy just from that. It'd be interesting to see someone time the 34xx/SP with its 120hz overclock.
>>12181756Troubling cope
>>12181758That is kinda true. No hinges have actually broke yet
>>12181695>I'm banned from the retroon server for antisemitismholy based
>>12181690reddit overblew it like always
>>12181815Nah you should absolutely open the lid and reinforce your hinge with cum, if only for peace of mind
>>12181825I will just get my free rp flip 3 when it breaks in a year
>>12181869Here is you $5 coupon gweilo
>>12181880okay if they try that I'll just get my free flip 3 via amazon
>>12181881Sorry saar return window is 30 days
>>12181885>he thinks I care lmao
>>12181773>the hinge hasn't broke just the plastic seating That cover isnt just for looks
I dont know how many handhelds I own. Maybe close to 80
The Thor doesn't crack its a smear campaign by AYANEO
Bros, I got my first handheld I got the Pocket 4 Pro, but I'm honestly worried about it exploding during charging, so I'm paranoid about leaving it charging Also why is everyone here so insufferable?It literally feels like /v/ plus handheld autism
>>12182025>It literally feels like /v/ plus handheld autismIf the shoe fits...
>>12181920Here's your daily reminder that buying chinkshit from AliExpress doesn't count as a "hobby".
>My Thor is on the way>It's the model which is cracking for everyone
>>12182040You knew this was going to happen but you still bought it anyway.
>>12182040stupid cockslut
>>12182025Just use a normal 5v2a charger. Also I have been named the most intelligent person in this thread, on several occasions, and my IQ is around 75. You do the math.
>>12181959I love how it’s just one autist on Reddit accusing everyone of being shills if they’re even remotely concerned about the quality of the Thor’s hinge.
The real reason most people don't care about the input lag problem is most people don't actually play games on their handhelds except maybe the first 30 minutes of pokemon emerald
I really don’t understand how you all tolerate each other. Half the people posting in this thread are absolutely insufferable.
>>12182040>Venti transmodel btw
>>12181613We told you fags to wait and let the early adopters beta test. Hinges always take 1-6 months before breaking. How can you not know this by now after seeing the Flip 1, Flip 2, and Miyoo flip?
>was looking forward to all the dual screen chinkhelds>ayn still hasn’t figured how to make hinges that don’t crack>ayaneo’s DS costs like $400>anbernig cuts so many corners RG DS might as well be a fucking sphere>ended up just buying a used DSi XLReally should’ve done it long ago back when my DS lite bit the dust
Crazy how the Mini Flip has a better hinge than the Retroid that costs over triple the price
>>12182297everything in this image has a bepis, even the device
>>12182317There are more broken miyoo flip hinges than retroid flip 2's. That said, there are way more broken retroid flip 1 hinges than both.
>>12182339Mini Flip, not Flip. Miyoo actually fixed the hinge for the Mini Flip.
>>12182343My bad. I wonder they could rework the regular flip with the mini's hinge?
>>12182343The mini flip nailed it. The hinge is perfect, buttons quiet and nice to use, smallest it could be while still usable. Once people start receiving them it will blow up
>>12182356I suspect they will for a v3. The flip was so good and just let down by the hinge.
>>12182308Frankly there probably won't be a better alternative to a DSi XL, especially considering how cheap they are to import from Japan. The yellowed screens are outweighed by the fact that its a hinge that's lasted for years, and some models absolutely have seen plenty of use over the years.
>everyone everywhere say with the new indiegogo you will now be asked pay at the end>discover the MASSIVE ghosting of the pocket>decide i just won't pay whatever>i receive a mail telling me ayaneo received my payment this afternoonwtf
>>12182416Maybe a company should simply make replacement screens for the OG DS consoles.. But as long as RGDS plays NDS at full speed I will probably get it when it is sold for 75USD.
>>12182357Plus the best part about Miyoo devices is the CFW is way better. Apart from Onion you already have Sprig and Allium which both mog Knulli and MuOS despite being in development for a fraction of the time.
>>12182450>But as long as RGDS plays NDS at full speedoh nonononono
>>12182464I mean, if I am getting a DSi, I might as well get a new device with new battery and better screens, that also can do a couple more things on top of that. Thing is, for example, the RG34XX-SP I will only use for GBA, so the RGDS I would only use for DS. I like the idea of compartimentalizing my retro hand helds into specilized niche functions/form factors. Such as playing GBC games on a RG35XX (even though I use RG35XX for CRT consoles as well)
>>12182453That only applies to the mini, mini flip, and mini plus.
>>12182481anon the screens don't integer at full size and it can't run the most popular ds emulator
>>12182512Another kicker is that the screens don't integer scale on top of being .2" inches smaller than the DSi XL.
>>12182512It has more pixels than the original DS, indeed 1.5 the pixels, so you must use a filter H700 can apply no problem to fix the slightly jagged edges, such as Bicubic, I am not very anal about integer scaling to be very honest, I only care for 1:1 ratio. I use filters anyway. Regarding the most popular emulator, I think it is unfair not to mention said emulator is very demanding because it goes for extreme accuracy. Neither does the Wii can run Duckstation (the best PSX emulator) but it can run WiiSX (ePSXe port). I get your points tho, but you must know I am coming from a budget perspective, I like cheap but well built, which is why I am an Anbernigger. I currently emulate DS using DraStic in my 2016 Huaweii, which is also incapable of running MelonDS, lol... I just want the form factor, I am happy with DraStic in my old Android phone and my Chromecast TV dongle and my ONN 4K with Chromecast TV box. Drastic is very mature by now. It is not like we are talking about a bleeding edge emulation here. But I get you, if I were a rich guy with tons of disposable income I would get a Thor for DS, even if it does not do 3DS. I just think it is overpriced when I got my A16 TUF laptop (R7 7735HS + RX7700s) for 750USD last year during a BestBuy sale. I have to choose my battles.
>>12181690>>12181621>>12181616>>12181649>>12182284just open it gently you barbarians
>>12182538i bought a brand new dsi xl for 130 euros a few month agomaybe look into that depending on your local prices
>>12182025use a usb c cable plugged into your PC or PS5 to charge
>>12182040Which model? My black one doesn't have the meme scratch yet
will the hinge crack if you just leave the device open all the time? I could care less about the portability aspect, just want two screens
>>12182553Black max...
>>12182560The meta is going to be to try and crack it in exactly 11 months so you can then get a refund/replacement through warranty
>>12182593>Black max...thank you gweilo
Flip 3 when, I crave the 1 screen clamshell form factor.I have RP5 and I don't see the point of RP6 or G2 since RP5 runs DC/PS2/GC/Wii/DS/3DS/PSP/whatever good enough and most things above that run like ass anyway regardless of hardware.
>>12182651We'll probably never see an ergonomic clamshell again.
>>12182546Some people DO baby their Thors, and that identical mark still shows up after a while like with the RP Flip 2. That’s the main problem, and it seems to be more common on the black units vs other colors.
>>12182678>and it seems to be more common on the black units vs other colorsExactly like the Flip 2...I can't believe anyone believed their bullshit about fixing it.
>>12182327Thanks detective.
Whats the most indestructable reliable chinkheld?
>>12182464Why wouldn't it?
https://youtu.be/SGm96xKRHFg
the chinks should get into cheapening polymers, that’s the only way this shit doesn’t break anymore while not being heavy as fuck
Looks like the honeymoon period is over
so much doomer posting probably from idiots opening the device on the sides instead of the middle
>>12182774Hilariously enough it took less time than the flip 2
the Thor is an unadulterated memeflip devices are a meme, and I own plenty
>>12182803wrong
How is Anbenig the only chink company that has zero hinge problems?
>>12182816Certain 35sp models had hinge problems but that was from inconsistant manufacturing. Zero problems since then, but powkiddy is the who never had hinge issues.
>>12182816Nice try zhou
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl06Gk53FqIIt´s out
>>12182842>NittexI refuse to believe this isn't just AI generated content
>>12182842Thor > Anbernig
>12182842>no 16:9 screen>weak af hardwareNo thanks.
>>12182842Nice eva backgrounds. I'm sold.
>>12182768This I want to know as well.
>>12182768The word chink is never associated with durability.
>>12182881>16:9 screengaaaaaaaaaaay
>>12182842Is that a literal shill video? The voiceover sounds like AI and the description is pure marketing material complete with chink runes.
>>12182927It's a content farm channel, he made like 30 videos comparing dual screen handhelds and they are all the same video
>tfw rainbow thor pro hasn't shipped yetshould I cancel?
>>12183000At this point? Yeah I'd say you are better off waiting for a revision.
What is the biggest handhelds you'd consider pocketable? One's that will actually fit without much struggle. Ones you won't hesitate on whether you really want to lug it around wherever you go?KTR1 was the perfect form for me. It had was the basic smartphone slab so it slid into my pocket without fuss but the big battery made it just thick enough to be comfortable to hold along with the nice curve on the corners. Would love to have a more powerful version.
The Pocket Air Mini is my first experience with the Indiegogo platform and even with my very minimal time with it, it seems like such a bad platform.No upfront shipping costs, wait for campaign to end to then wait even more before they collect shipping costs and then wait again for actual shipping, comments section full of "how much is shipping?", can't cancel your own pledge, etc.Why the fuck is Ayaneo using IGG and not just accepting pre-orders through their own store?
>>12183035normal 3DS and that's if your pants are quite loose
>>12183000you should probably get an Odin 2 portal and the add on screen at this point
welp, we knew we'd get CHINKED on the Thor, but I really was holding out hope for a decent hinge. oh well. what should I get instead? I have $400 and mostly want to play GameCube, PS2, and 3ds.
>>12183000How badly do you want a dual screen device? How long are you willing to wait for a perfect device? I've had mine for almost a month now and no hinge issues but I really wanted real DS and 3DS emulation and I prepared myself for issues since I pre-ordered early.
Ambernig won
>Thor seems really sick and slick and I really want a nds/3ds dual screen chinkheld since I never got to experience the ds>play a few ds games on a horizontal handheld >realize that I don't mind the one larger one smaller horizontal setup in MelonDS>delay ordering any dual screen chinkheld>mon visage quand news start rolling in
>>12183059'eck or Retroid Pocket Flip/5/6
RP6 will probably blow up or crack too if its the same retroidium plastic as 5
the hinge crack shit hasn't even been confirmed
If I were a chinkheld competitor I would purchase other vendor's devices, inflict damage on the products to make them look poorly designed, and astroturf on social media.
>>12183037it used to not be like that but they changed their policy to this retarded shit like last month for some reasonhopefully ayaneo starts using a different service for this sort of thing
>>12182847>>12182927He downloads videos from bilibili and translates with an ai voiceover.
>>12183035flip 2, which is a little bigger than a 3ds
>>12183035I remember liking the ZPG A1 Unicorn, but the screen wasn't perfectly ideal for 4:3 games and it was fucking annoying how the L/R buttons would occasionally stop responding until rebooting.
>>12183052>>12183059>>12183061>>12183080I unironically just cancelled my Thor preorder and ordered a Steam Deck OLED. tired of waiting for something better than the 'eck. I submit Gaben, you win.
>>12183037>No upfront shipping costs, wait for campaign to end to then wait even more before they collect shipping costs and then wait again for actual shipping, comments section full of "how much is shipping?", can't cancel your own pledge, etc.You new or something? Every pledge website is like that nowadays. Cracks me up when I get some expensive pledge, pay up, then anywhere between 6 and 18 months later when I already forgot about it I get a surprise gift of shipping+vat which is often like extra 40% on top of the pledge. Also don't forget about the customs roulette. I legit stopped using these sites because of how expensive shipping became.
https://imgur.com/a/MAI4ILm#bqfSrtQHonestly it just seems to be a production plastic seam. This guy just opened up a sealed brand new thor and you can see the line there too. It could just be a huge panic over nothing.
i have the atari oneplays all 2600 romsand can be hooked up to a tv
how do i cancel my pledge to air mini?
have Techdweeb and Joey weighed in on this new thor hinge shit?
>>12183130another case of >do nothing>competition shits themselves >win
>>12182906You're limiting yourself by capping the number of games you can comfortably play if you go full 4:3.No 16:9 game looks good on 4:3, but 4:3 games do look fine enough on a 16:9 screen.It's like a tranny limiting himself by chopping off his dick.
>>12183223shut up bitch
>>12183227they are waiting for orders
>>12182842The red and black one looks so sexy bros...
I've seen at least one other anon itt in the same predicament as me. I've got the Thor on order, and just waiting. I figured the month of no hinge issues meant it was safe, but I guess we got chinked after all.my wife told me that she's okay if I spend the extra hundred or so dollars to upgrade to a steam deck OLED, but that no matter what this needs to be my final device for 5 to 10 years since we're going to start trying for a kid this coming year. when it comes to dual screen emulation, the only games I would really want to do on 3DS would be bravely default and link between worlds, but I would really appreciate having good switch emulation as well, and I've heard that it's a mixed bag on the deck. granted all that was a few years ago, so I'm sure it's gotten better since then. what do you think anons? should I just give in to and get the deck? it's it really 'ick on 'eck afterall?
>>12183285>I've got the Thor on orderLMAO >my wife LMAO>final device for 5 to 10 years since we're going to start trying for a kidLMAOimagine having these problems
>>12183285lol nigga u cuckedgo to the deck daddies discord and get out of my general
>>12183232>but 4:3 games do look fine enough on a 16:9 screen.No, they fucking don't. Only 4:3 on 3:2 is tolerable.
>>12183204Atgames? And how good is that dpad?
>>12183297What are bezels?
>>12183285Get the deck or at least the rog and laugh at the people who didnt believe in zhou.
>>12183297This retard has never owned an OLED device in his life btw.
>>12183285you can tell this guy is white
>>12183305Garbage. >>12183309Stop being a destitute hick with a phone-like putrification. If the black bars or, god forbid, ads covering them on the side are big enough to make up the same size as what you're displaying, you should hotkey+start life.

I've seen you guys recommending smartphones as handheld replacements.Entertain me: what's the cheapest thing that could run PS2 games at 3x internal resolution or higher?
>>12183324gpd win max 2

>>12183195DELETE THIS THE AYA NEO SHILLS WONT LIKE IT
>>12183285The Thor is fine and stop letting your wife control all of your finances you fucking retard
>>12183285bro how is spending $500 on a handheld gonna mean anything for having a child for the next 10 years lmao
The hobby is over once palmer lucky makes a GBA built like a tank which runs off of AA batteries
>>12183320That comments implies it's mostly browns here, yet they use it as insult when someone makes fun of retroid or anbernic. Is this general majorly white, or not?>>12183324>3xProbably something from moto. Those things rarely keep their value, so even the good one's are cheap unopened. Looking for decent phones to use as handhelds was never the hard part before. It was always the controllers.
CubeXX came today with the unbranded blue card, never assume you're getting a Kioxia I guess and make sure you have your own on hand
>12183329Retard.>>12183337Not a smartphone.It's also not 140 but 199, and it's pricier when you consider the shipping.

>They didn't get the surface duo for thier dual shit fixLmaoing at ur liefs
I'll grab a renewed S20 with an SD865 and call it a day.Shipping's a bitch but it's still less than 190.It's strong enough to run Switch games too, but idc enough about those.I have multiple travels this month so this should be good enough to entertain me on the plane.Thanks for nothing faggots.I will remember this the next time any of you say "just buy a phone".
>>12183427I have one but its hard to find a controller with the usb on the correct side.
>>12183414okay now say that in english
>>12183432At least two people reccomend you acutal phones not chinkhelds.
So whats the deal with mali drivers? Why do they suck?
>>12183074I'm playing DS on a samsung A11 tablet lmao. Both screens with a touch pen on 8.7 inches baby handles it perfectly for dungeon crawling
thorbros, how does the bottom screen stretched look for DS/3DS? kinda autistic about the bezels
>>12183483awful
>>12183483looks fine to me, I have the black model
>>12183450Not updated often from my understanding.
>>12183559Have they ever improved the performance of mali devices over time or no?
>>12181562How come there's no standard way of measuring lag on android devices?
>>12183324Poco X7 pro. I play almost everything at x3 with D8400 Ultra.
>>12183204These would have been great if the hardware and emulation wasn't so dogshit. The genesis-on-a-chip ones are genuinely unusable, even if you have no idea what the games should look and sound like. No wonder Brazil is the way it is if that's all they have
>>12183432>strong enough to run Switch games tooYou're not running shit on an SD865 without active cooling. Enjoy getting throttled
>>121834500 support from mediakek. The only way this can change is the public sodomizing of their CEO and CTO on live TV and a few AM radio channels
>>12183578He can just buy a controller that has a fan but at that point, he might as well get a phone with acutal cooling which are a thing.

>>12183853ACHUALLY, MuOS is the one with more customization such as skins and all that, more options to thinker with.Knulli has options but more barebones, it is between MiniOS and MuOSThis guy explains it simply:https://youtu.be/2ZMwdyuAv7o?si=_ABwUUPpn8pZVqrS&t=116
>>12183742>he wholeheartedly believes JewyTake him with a grain of salt anon. You should do that with many reviewers, but with Joey in particular you should because he likes to pretend like he’s above the other critics while still doing the same shit they are. He’ll gladly shit on products like the RG DS, which rightfully so, but he’ll try and upsell you on the AYN Thor acting like it’s only $250 without mentioning shipping and taxes (and always including his affiliate link, even with products that he doesn’t think look good like the RG DS) over recommending any DS model which is cheaper and more readily available, or even easier to repair and mod.

>>12184137Yeah.. it also kept me uncomfortably thinking for a while... Neither Composite nor Component have lag, do they? I mean, Component has better COLOR and DEFINITION, but Composite still delivers the same speed doesnt it?I feel he is mixing up definition with lag.

If price weren't a factor, what would be the absolute best handheld device for emulation etc? I'm curious to see what gets the most praise when money is out of the question

pocketable handhelds are over rated, i tried playing metroid prime 2 and its fucking impossible to see anything
>>12183851That will be Switch 2 if/when it gets hacked.Gaben will never ever make a handheld that would have to emulate 99% of Steam library which is either x86 or x86_64, he's not that stupid.
On brick with pakui can't go sleep mode while in pico-8 game. Pressing power button closes pico-8 first. Every toher os has that limitation too?
>>12184356imagine how fucking retarded you must be to see the flip 2 breaking and then buying a fucking thor lmao
>>12182768/hhg/ will never admit it but it's the RG35XX SP.
>>12183612Knulli by a mile
>>12184395the idea is that they're seemingly heavily invested in getting fex to a point where it can more or less run anything you could possibly throw at it. the new vr headset uses arm+fex to run x86 shit.
>>12183853>>12184483I decided to try knulli and set it up following russ's vid on his rg34xx setup and it's actually really freaking comfy now, glad i chose it
>>12184546
Hi guys, I kinda want one of these chinese retro handheld devices. Looking for something with good build quality, feel, and button feel, and decent screen, that can play mainly SNES and Genesis era well, and maybe some GBA or newer. Prefer horizontal layout. Is RX35XX-H the best option at the price point for me? Is it stupid to get one of these if I already have a N3DSXL?
>>12184508gamehub, winlator and all those other window based emulators also heavily use fex, the chinks just repackaged valve's work on it.
>>12184605that's a good choice, there's also the cube xx if you want something with a bigger screen that's more comfortable to holdalso there's the pocket air mini by ayaneo coming out relatively soon that can run all the way up to ps2 if you wanna wait
Ayn says it's just a plastic seam lines, not cracks and posted their development pics to prove it
>>12184627 damage control
>>12184627Delete this please
Only blacks get the crack
>>12184008>Performance even with multicore is still sub v90 tier.I don't get it. All that I know so far is to buy a new 64GB SD for it, then upgrade the operating system for something called multicore (which I don't know how to do) then transfer RomsDo I have to do anything to the D-pad? I've seen a guy in a previous thread who added a bit of tape on the circuit board and made the D-pad have a better swivel
>>12184627If it's just a seam line, why are they replacing them? >>12180991
>>12184694Where's the receipts of them actually replacing it?
>>12184668das raysis
There's not point of owning a Vita in 2025
>>12184713There is if you want premium build quality
>>12184625Hey, thanks for your reply. The Cube XX looks pretty good to me, but I read that it has crappy software. Do you have any experience with it or can speak to the software side of it? I'll look into the Pocket Air Mini. There are so many options, it's easy to get into a decision paralysis state.
>>12184713It's nice to have one as a memento of the last time Sony tried.
>>12184627The same AYN that said the Odin 2 screen input lag is a software issue and would be fixed 3 years ago?The same AYN that said they can easily make both Thor screens 120hz unlike Ayaneo, but neglected to mention it causes immense screen tearing on the bottom?

Does gammaos improve input latency?
>>12184842The white one is the best one and goes well with the case
are linux emulators on these ARM handhelds really that bad?
>>12184956Usually they're fine.
>Thor's hinges are crackingThank god I didn't cave in and but one.I still have my Odin 2 Portal and will just play with screen swapping like a normal person.
>>12183630What isn't? 110hz refresh rate, no portmaster, no core selection for RA, awful frontend functionally. >>12184956Yes and no. Yes as in some RA cores really suck dick and suffer in performance, no as in these chips are shoddy in both hardware and software, ie: can't run OpenGL rendering to speed things up on PS1.
What's the best way to get my 'eck to output 240p/480i component?
>>12184970it's literal fake news
>>12184476I thought the RG34XX-SP was a smaller but better version of it. As in, they fixed the buttons, for example. Do they have the exact same hinge, tho?
>>12185002Don't care, I cancelled my pre-order. Done with chinkhelds, getting a 'eck.
>>12183130Welcome, friend. The best combo really is an 'eck and a small sub $100 handheld.
>>12183285Bro just buy the Deck. Even if the hinge breaking is false panic the thing is almost 100% going to snap in under 3 years.
>>12184736Everyone just runs 3rd party firmware like MuOS or Knulli. Its not too hard to setup with a guide and works just fine.
What handheld should I get if I want a OLED 120hz vertical with sticks?
>>12184605Get the RG40XX-H. I say this as someone who owns the RG35XX-H: It's not that comfortable. The d-pad is going to feel like you're pushing on something quite hard instead of something lighter or softer which makes quick movements on it or hard presses more painful, especially over long durations. When it comes to ergonomics it's fine if you're gonna play maybe an hour, but for longer sessions I had to 3D print a grip it was causing my wrists some pain.

However, buying a Legion Go/Claw or another insanely overpriced Windows handheld instead of a laptop is stupid.
>>12185214nice handheld fag, enjoy yuor throttling
>>12184876Anyone? Surely there ONE person here using gamma os?
>>12185238Got a TUF A16 (All AMD for Linux) with R7 7735HS and RX7700s for 750 USD last summer, with taxes and a secon m.2 1TB drive I ended up paying about 950USD. Honestly I cannot rationalise expensive handhelds, because I live on a budget, for me it was a no brainer to get the A16 laptop over a powerful handheld that would only work for gaming. Again, I am the bracket of the market that goes for Anbernic XX devices for portable gaming devices. I got a PS4 2 years ago for 100USD as well, never purchase a console until its be superseded and at its end of cycle. Still it is very interesting knowing what first world wealthy people can get, technology is fascinating.
>>12183037>Why the fuck is Ayaneo using IGG and not just accepting pre-orders through their own store?Because you don't actually "buy" anything of indiegogo, you pay money to support something and get the rewards. That means you don't have any customer protection cause you essentially donated to support a kickstarter basically.
>>12185240>incoherentyou having a giggle m8? It's ok if you are
>>12185268I use GammaOS, didn't test before or after for latency. Honestly I don't give a shit about latency, ask Gamma directly
>>12185268It shouldn't, it's just AOSP with tweaks. If he ever got around to that dumb OS-wide shader idea, it might be worse.
>>12185275Hell yeah dude, Laptops are a great choice for your use case and Im glad you were able to get that deal. The 'eck is still a good choice as a general use PC too if its all you can afford. Just toss Bazzite/Nobara/CashyOS on that bitch with a cheap USB C dongle as a dock with a 1080p monitor and it'll do surprisingly well.

The future of PS3 emulation on Android is bright.https://youtu.be/z-muP2lR_B0?t=1067
lookit this weird thing
Does anyone here have the Ayn Thor? Would you recommend it? I've learned not to listen to youTubers
>>12184209I still love my modded New 3DS. It has lower input latency than most Android devices I've tried and has excellent buttons. I just don't like the IPS/TN panel lottery. I got dual TN panel screens on 2 units, and got dual IPS screens on one unit which would've been perfect... if it didn't die a year later because it stopped reading SD cards. And while 3DS can play GBA games through a hypervisor and play DS games through backwards compatibility, the pixel scaling isn't ideal for either of them.>>12184202 >>12184204These are both powerful units, but they are so commonly mentioned that I think it'd be worth listing some more, like the kind of devices typically seen in this general.
>>12185510It's solid. Genuinely if you find the 3ds comfortable you'll probably love it. The triggers are sub par but I personally don't plan on playing a ton of trigger heavy games, the fact it plays later gen titles is a plus not my main usage. It's really nice to play a SNES rpg with youtube or whatever going on the other screen. I've had no issues with the software.
>>12185508It looks how'dyoudoken and sureyouken-able
>>12185510I was gonna wait for the next thread but I'll put this here.My n3DS died of NAND wear after a decade as my only handheld. I got an AYN Thor and it rocks. I usually watch Star Trek on it while playing Pokemon Crystal or Dragon Warrior. Being able to use CRT and LCD shaders really improves the experience of playing older games. It's my endgame device to the extent that, when it breaks, I'm not playing video games anymore (can't justify the price anyway). Plus the modern stuff:>3DS emulation works and I can use my saves>Wii U emulation works>Switch apparently works but I'm too green to figure it out>Every PC game I've missed from the last 20 years works in WinlatorThe hinge issues are one anon who mistook a mold seam for a crack so I'm not remotely worried. The wallpaper issue was fixed in an OTA update. The gap however makes me worry about durability and I keep the packing foam between the screens when it's in my bag. And I never hear anyone talking about how the bottom screen has numerous issues:>tearing>when it goes to sleep automatically while open, the bottom screen stays on and gets brighter while the top screen turns off>once i turned the unit on and half the bottom screen wasn't active. i hit the hub button and the hub was narrowed to the active part of the screen, implying a software problem>can't see tasks>moving apps between screens can only be done with the default launcher, alternative launchers don't workThese are all software issues so I'm not worried. Even if they stick around they're not terrible compromises (the 3DS took a full minute to open mGBA from the libretro PCSX-ReARMed core). If this thing ever gets Rocknix it'll be the perfect game system except for glasses-free 3D (rip) or StreetPass (rip) which are infeasible anyway.
>>12185619>The hinge issues are one anon who mistook a mold seam for a crack so I'm not remotely worriedMassive cope. Aside from the fact that it started on plebbit and not here, even the brown mongoloids of r/sbcgaming aren't entirely buying into the AYN damage control and have pointed out discrepancies based on the photos. Only a retard would buy one now and not wait and see how things play out over the next six months.
>>12185635You're replying to a niggit spacer in the first place. Clearly a retroonyn shill judging from him saying the hinge drama is overblown. If the rgds isn't shit, this thread will have to bow to max zhou once again
It took Anbernig fucking forever but they're finally shipping out review units of the RG DS.
seriously what the fuck is his problem
>>12185654The longer the video the more money it makes. Thats how Youtube works in 2025.
Babe wake up, Max wants to sell you a vertical again.>>12185654Who? I know on surface they're all the same person but LGR at least has played some games.
>>12185661the fucker whos video goes for 52 minutes. dude speaks to slow and about meaningless shit half the time
>>12185661This looks like another Linux vertical, the Android ones are usually thicker. Unless its using a new higher res panel its a fucking drop.
>>12185654He's not the only one who went into detail
>>12185642>I disagree therefore I am a shillI listed a number of unaddressed problems with my unit that haven't been brought up in these threads. If the hinge is a problem POST PICS. Your strawman arguments are not making me any more worried.>>12185642I remember when the indicator of quality on blue boards was rhetoric rather than formatting, so I've probably been on 4chan longer than you have.
>>12185661That looks like a 40XXV, but with a bigger gap between the shoulders, taller, and with an exhaust fan... is this nigga about to give us dat 476V or 477V?
>>12185673Fan and single SD slot suggest Android and everyone's expecting the 4.7" 120hz panel.>>12185674Anyway, can this snake oil run Knife's Edge at least? Or was it a complete waste of time?>MVG having issues with RE2lol>>12185679Probably a 476V given how butthurt he seems about the 477M's response.
>>12185692He's not wrong though.
>>12185661This really needs to be something special to beat the RP Classic or even their own 40XXV for the price.
>>12185675>Rushes to defend his niggitor brosHmm...>Tries ti use the "I was here before you cope", while mixing up how 4kek replies work with discordI'm noticin.>>12185692It could be the a527 which does need a fan, but I don't think anbernic would use it
>anal logue inventing N64 overclocking is part of the shill scriptAnd you just know the intended audience will fall for it too.>3 videos in and no Knife Edge in sightYeah, pack it up.>>12185698Yeah, he is. 477M and RGDS are both robbery and 480p screens are a terrible fit.
>>12185714RG477M does kind of suck due to a lack of shoulder buttons, but for its specs its not robbery in the slightest. The RG DS on the other hand, yeah its worse than a used DSi LL from Japan and has less value for the price.
>>12185510Yeah I enjoy mine and I'm taking all the hinge stuff with a grain of salt
>>12185692>But are other companies integer scale too?Does he not understand the complaints here? He's making a DS-only focused system that can play older systems or other systems but it's not the focus. Why would you not focus on integer scaling and having the screens be the correct aspect ratio to do so? You're already essentially getting custom screens to begin with so what's the issue?>It'd be overkill if it's just for playing NDS games.DraStic is not acceptable in this day and age. People want Melon DS, people want shaders, people want fast forward, and people want upscaling. If they didn't they'd just import a DSi for $70 and hack it. No one is expecting 3DS from this thing but they are expecting something better than just importing a DS or using their own that they already have, and DraStic is a just barely any better. These are supposed to be machines that offer an advantage over the original instead of just the bare minimum.
>>12185661>literally just ordered a 406v the other dayOh well, I think I'll prefer how ergonomic it is compared to this anyway.
>>12185619People have talked about all those issues plenty actually. The screen tearing is cause 120hz is on the top screen. Disable it and it works fine. As for the sleep issues I just turn mine off at night completely desu. But hopefully they fix it in an update

>>12185974>>12185990This is one thing I really hate about low end linux chinkhelds. You just get really silly stuff like this happening sometimes.
>>12185990Huh, wonder if other OS suffer from this as well. Were you on SMB on Mac too?
>>12186009was using SMB. I have to admit I did use portmaster with undertale and it worked great a couple of months ago, cant remember if I used SMB or straight sd card
Thats what you get for using knulli which tends to be broken on everything kek biz jannoid got me permabanned

fuck nigfuck retroonfuck chinkheldsdo we think the 'eck will go on sale soon?
>>12186367LCD? Yeah, Valve needs warehouse space for the Steam Machine and Steam Frame. OLED? Maybe. It's never gone on sale before, so even if it does go on discount for the winter sale, it'll probably only be 10%.
>>12186367it's like >>12186373 said. we just don't know about oled, but I'm pretty certain that LCD will go on sale in the winter sale if not on Black Friday. if you're interested in the OLED ust ask yourself, is waiting a month to potentially save $60 worth it for you? if yes then wait, if not don't.
>>12186367>>12186373>>12186407Completely ignoring the price, Which would you choose? Rog ally xbox (no X) / Legion Go S Z2Go / Steam Deck OLED?
>>12186412NTA but the only one that would be an instant strike off the list would be the ROG Xbox (non X). Spec-wise it isn't that much more powerful than the Steam Deck, and while the battery is bigger, the selling point of using Windows on a handheld is still insanely unappealing. Granted you can install Bazzite or other Linux distros on it, but its just in this middle ground where it doesn't have the OLED panel and efficient APU that the SD OLED has or the higher resolution panel and more powerful APU in the Lenovo Legion Go S. So at that point its a matter of whether you want OLED and better efficiency or more power and a higher resolution panel.
I think I'm gonna get a deck
>>12186465I got a s StimDick
>>12186476>he doesn't have a stem dick instead
>>12186054The absolute state
>>12186412People already did the tests and even with Linux the Rog Xbox Ally is simply not worth the money over just getting an OLED Steam Deck. It's even more expensive than an OLED for slightly worse performance overall.If you're willing to shell out that extra $100 and slap SteamOS/Bazzite onto the Legion Go then that is the route that's better to go if you don't care about trackpads.

>>12187278I don't own a single Legion Go model because the 'eck is such a great value handheld for me, its ultimately up to you. For what its worth I hear the Z1E model is only 10% weaker than the Z2E so its probably not a big deal which one you go for. You'll want to aim for the balanced mode or low power mode just for decent battery life though, the Deck's unique APU is just great all around for efficiency on lightweight titles.

what
>>12187695I am not the anon, I am just asking what retroonyn means. Some Anon said he should have gotten a steamdeck instead of RGDS, but the RGDS costs 1/6 of a steamdeck, someone told him that and he started rambling about him being a retroonyn shill... but RGDS is made by anbernic?These Steam Deck shills need to take their meds and get off the retro board.
>>12187705Valvefags are getting extra obnoxious again with HL3 around the corner or whatever
>>12187705>I am not him, I am just [Covering the fact he's clearly him]>Y-You're a shill for insulting muh precious thor thoEverytime. Reminder, retroondittors reironiclly pretend to be retarded to look innocent while bringing up completely different companies like chadbernic. The pisscorder even uses the meds meme while xhe posts in a server with trans flags. Grim.
>>12187712Wow mate, your family must be very concerned by your health. Please take your meds. I dont have a Thor, I dont want a Thor, I only asked what "retroonyn" is, because you used that to insult someone defending the RGDS which is made by Anbernic. Take your meds, friend. You will feel better.
>>12187717>More "take yur meds" meme>While reironiclly niggit spacingAlready said, but grim...
>>12187603i dont know how many examples it will take for people to once and for all understand that if you buy chinkhelds you WILL get chinked
>>12187712you're schizophrenicyou even type like your brain's jumbled
>>12187724>reironicllyDo you even speak English, nigger?
>>12187751>>12187768Rectum shattered so much, he youd me twice Kek-lmao! Retroondittors are fucking retarded. Shills stay whackin, tubers be stackin, clamcels stay ackin.
>>12187781I hope you get better, guy. I'm out.
Are there any cheap handhelds with integrated keyboard?
>>12187825Define cheap. Your only hope might be a used gpd win one or two and even then, used prices for those 2 are aids.
>>12187834cheap as in aliexpress might as well try it out cheap. Was thinking of making my own but really not sure which SBC to choose. And I also have no idea how to make a good keyboard though I think it wouldn't be worse than the one on a cheap handheld
>>12187645yeah, haha, the thing is, I really don't care? I'm not buying it.
>>12187781you're still schizophrenicyou still type like your brain's jumbled
>>12187710It's almost here you'll see you'll ALL see
there has never been a great handheld
>>12187901and you've never had your hand held
>>12187750'eck is made in chyna though
>>12186691>>12186643It'll be out when its outAnd we like that
>>12187932Most of this stuff is made in China, its just about the level of quality control. Most of these chinese handheld companies are going to have much worse quality control standards than Valve, Nintendo, Sony, Samsung or Apple.
>>12187956weirdly, the only hardware issues I've ever had were with Nintendo
>>12188015Yeah, they all have their issues and Nintendo really shit the bed with the Joycon sticks. Im just saying people shouldnt be surprised when hinges crack or batteries turn into pillows.
>>12188015Funny because for me it's historically been awful Sony hardware.
Reminder you have until the end of this week to order your Thor or you'll have to wait until mid JANUARY for your device to even SHIP (and probably backlogged behind other orders)
>>12188083no thanks Ayn, i'll wait for more beta tester paypiggies to further confirm if the hinge is completely chinked before I give you one yuan of my money
Is the Anbernic DS up for purchase yet?
>>12188083The thing that's already snapping in half? I'll pass.
Don't listen to the Aya Neo shills in this thread, Thor is still the best device right now
>>12188229best at what?
>>12188172Preorder
>>12188256cracking its hinge
>>12188256Siphoning money from stupid gweilo.
>>12188083I'll wait for the second batch with the reinforced hinge paid by the first batch fags
Are R36S devices worth it?
The TrimUI Brick having multiple function buttons is such an underrated feature. I've really come to love them. Why aren't extra function buttons more common on chinkhelds?
>>12188327if you want PS1 and below, sure. Finding the right CFW if its a clone can be a bit of work though
>>12188332Button cost money! You think I made of button?!
i think the handheld i want for the price im willing to pay will be available in about 2 years
think I'm gonna steal a modretro just to see what the fuss is about
>>12188256uhhh good at taking photos of instead of playing on for reddit karma.
>>12188015Only hardware issue I've ever had with Nintendo were the shitch joycons. Otherwise between my and my friends we must have had like 70 DS/SP/DSi/etc. devices and none of them had any issues.
>modretro only plays gb/c>anal log pocket permanently sold out>chinkheld gameboy likes are low quality garboguess Ill just keep using my pc/phone :(
>>12188256bricking itself if you try changing the wallpaper
>>12188510just get a vertislop/ gameboy sp?
>>12188505Had to return an SP due to dead pixels, replacement had. . . dead pixels. Third time was the charm, though.
>>12188514I want a premium device with a great screen otherwise theres no real reason to switch from just using my phone. Im holding out hope anal log gets their shit together at some point. Id totally be happy with the chromatic as well except I dont want a device that requires fucking batteries like its 1998 again
>>12188525okay so if you want a premium device you shouldn't pay for either of those because they're shit
>>12188524Damn that's insanely unlucky.
>>12188525People seem to like the Retroid Pocket Classic. Maybe that?
>>12181557No
>>12188552yes
>>12188543never had an issue with anything else - NDS, PSP, Switch etc all fine
>>12188510This guy will replace analogue pocket easyly
>>12188583I want a vertislop though>>12188550this one looks promising, thanks anon. anybody here have one?
>>12188590nta, I don't have one but I've legitimately only heard good things about the classic
All you need is a Retroid Pocket, a Gameboy style device, and a Thor
>>12188687>All you need is a Retroid PocketWhich one? What would it cover that the other two don't?
>>12188687No. 'eck and a small sub $100 handheld.
>>12188751Waiting for a Steam Deck 2 Lite with SteamOS and SD8G3
for me it's>small and pocketable for up to ps1>comfy 4:3 for up to ps2>high end 16:9 for modern shit, streaming, and ps3 and above emulation once it gets better
>>12188687>ThorLMAO HAHAHAHA
>>12188751This.I have an 'eck and a miyoo mini.
>>12188761Not a bad choice, I got an LCD during the sale in October. I'd have bought the OLED one, but with the 'eck being over 4 years old I figured I'd just get the cheap option and wait for 'eck 2.
>>12188795'eck 2 is basically confirmed not dropping until 2028
>>12188842With steamOS confirmed to run on ARM with the Steam Frame, I think some manner of Deck successor will come out in 2026. Might not be a "2" though, maybe a "lite".
>>12188871my nigga, the frame is the deck "lite"
Is a USB 3.0 port on my PC safe for charging the H700 devices?
>>12188525wait for pocket vert or metal ayaneo DMG
>>12188687>"all" you need is 3 different chinkshit handheldsall you "need" is a pc and a phone.
>>12187271no fucking shit, I've read that 100 times.Anyway, I just got another sd card and it creates a Windows-readable roms folder
>>12188968It's supposed to just work so yeah, issue on your end.
>>12188935*14 inch tablet and chinkheld.
Which chinkhelds are cheaper on Aliexpress vs their official web store?
>>12188751This is the only combo of handhelds that makes sense. Big handheld for home and tiny pocketable handheld for going out. When you're out, you're only going to be playing stuff in small bursts anyway so it's fine to keep it to a small pocket handheld that only plays up to PS1 (especially if you're like me and you have an endless backlog of romhacks to play). The only exceptions are long trips, in which case you're probably bringing a bag with you, in which case you can pack the bigger handheld you usually have at home anyway.
>>12189176I, personally, don't play things in small bursts. My handheld for travel (an older Andbernic RG350) is loaded with games that are meant to be done in longer play, mostly RPGs. I, however, recognize my situation is different than many as my job often has me on planes and trains for hours (sometimes days) at a time.
>>12182773do you think ayn will handle hingegate as well as retroid did? the cross shipping sucked but they accepted every return
/vr/ are missing out on a quality handheld like the Thor over something that won't even happen to them. But have fun with your RP6 which will blow up I guess
>>12189305the thor and rp6 arent even competitors
>>12189305>haha my bomb is better than that other bomb
>2DS battery is swollen>Have to wait until December to try the new one I boughtFuck
>>12189305>he thinks the Thor won't blow upFortunately, the hinges dying early will save many lives.
I love the Thor's hardware but wow the software sucks ass. Volume is only usable at the lowest setting with headphones in, anything higher is way too loud. Audio divide by screen is busted as fuck. Per app audio is all over the place with one app super loud and another way too quiet. Some apps randomly forcing portrait mode with rotate turned off, third party apps can't even force landscape. 120 fps basically useless as it renders the bottom screen unusable.And yet it's still really nice in the hands, and a joy to play on. It's just frustrating that it's impossible to game and have other audio in the background, videos on the other screen, because audio is totally busted and apps can't behave for shit.
>>12189513thanks for beta testing this chinkheld for me, bro. cant wait to buy the much improved version next year that has most/all of these problems ironed out.
>>12188923What the hell were they thinking with that start and select placement?
I bought a bunch of repro cartridges on Aliexpress to see what they look like inside.
>>12189513>Volume is only usable at the lowest setting with headphones in, anything higher is way too loudSame with the Odin 2, at least for me. This seems to be an AYN thing, it's always too fucking loud so I just keep volume low. Hopefully the other issues get resolved with OTA updates though the 120hz setting seems borked from the get-go (android issue apparently).
>>12189142All, after coupons and shit
>>12185674Marc was the only one who actually used it and pointed out the shitty de-interlace filter
>>12189710minus the ones not sold on aliexpress like retroid
>>12189513>120 fps basically useless as it renders the bottom screen unusable.I mean isn't the idea that you would use it when you aren't using the bottom screen? Like if you're playing anything other than DS/3DS.Also, CHINKED
>>12189513thank you for beta testing the thor 2
>>12189284I doubt it, they’re already trying to downplay the hinge concerns.
I bought thor......
imagine upgrading and not optimizing every game like you still have shit hardware to maximize battery life, reduce heat, etc
>>12189513>Audio divide by screen is busted as fuck. Per app audio is all over the place with one app super loud and another way too quietThis hasn't been an issue with me but I just use Youtube and a game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dvXnCZQwJPQFor those that don't want to give Russ a watch on his Odin 3 vid>He doesn't like the glass panel compared to the entire Odin 2 body being plastic, it makes the device smudgy>face buttons grind against the casing>included caps are tall>Odin 3 doesn't feel ergonomic compared to the Odin 2 at all, its a lot thinner and more "compact" compared to feeling thick. Doesn't provide tons of leverage while gaming. He noted that AYN sells an optional grip but he never needed this at all with the Odin 2. >Chipset is capable of emulating God of War 2 and F-Zero GX at 4k. Pointless in handheld mode but may matter if you play docked. >Chipset is so cutting edge that there's compatibility issues with non-retro console emulation. Powerful enough for PS3 emu but it doesn't matter because software isn't there yet.>Temps got up to 90 degrees if he tried playing with gamehub, even if he had max fans on. Those temp readouts changed to 50 degrees if he were to use a different program like Aida64, unsure if its a weird readout or if it actually gets that hot.>Ultimately just feels too cutting edge for a future that may or may not arrive. >Doesn't feel like an urgent handheld to get, feels too FOMO-worthy right now.
>>12188751I've like 20+ years of experience keeping a gaming handheld in my right pocket, and desu yeah. I've also got a Deck but it stays on my desk, unless I"m traveling, like another Anon's pointed out.In my experience, there's two things that you need more than anything else for a daily driver. >SizeSomething in size comparable to a gameboy micro is ideal. I've been using a GKD Pixel 2 as my daily driver, lately, and after using a MM+ as one for a while I forgot how important this aspect really is. As small as a MM+ is, it's still big enough to be annoying to take out of your pocket if you're sitting, for example, and it can flop around annoyingly if your pants are looser. It also just kinda gets in the way with moving your leg, at that size. But the GKD Pixel 2 straight up disappears into your pocket>SuspendSimple as. After having used an RG280V for a while, it fucking sucks when you've gotta manage save states and wait for it to boot/shut down each time. It stops you from even bothering to try using it in situations you want to, since you don't wanna deal with the awkwardness of managing saves and closing stuff to shut it down, when you're done waiting. OnionOS and the GKD Pixel 2's sleep mode, are such a breath of fresh air that I have no idea why anyone wouldn't want something like this on an EDC handheld
>>12190171>smudge meme
>>12190302Yes, that happens when you actually play glass front handhelds and don't just have them as display pieces.
>>12190302Anon, if you have a device with a glass panel and you don't have a screen protector on it, it's going to get smudgy a lot faster than even the cheapest plastic chinkheld.
>>12188590>>12188645it has loud cheap sounding buttons like most retroid and ayn products, the screen is god tier tho
>>12189513Anbernic WON
>>12190416new thread
>>12189513>mfw R*****d Dual Screen owner
>>12188892as long as you use a USBA-USBC cable it does not matter which charger you use, the limit USB-A has by design is the limit that is safe for these devices. It is when you start using USB-C to USB-C that the higher voltage threshold becomes dangerous.
