First for AYANEO won
>>12247858Won what?
>>12247875retarded shill cum swallowing competition
>>12247884Anbernic alphas there's always next year
>>12247887Are we prettending the RG34XXSP did not happen this year?the RGDS is also the best bang for your buck with regards to two screen emulation.
>>12247891>the RGDS is also the best bang for your buck with regards to two screen emulation.>top of the crap heap that is dual screen emu
Can you play the arcade original of Ghouls n Ghosts on an analogue pocket?
>>12247891Yeah I suppose 90$ for a piece of shit that struggles to run 1x resolution while lagging is better bang for your buck than 300$ for something that actually works
>>12247909Yeah there's a CPS1 core.
Gonna be on vacation the next month and want to get my pc streaming just right. Is the sunshine + moonlight + tailscale combo the only way to go?Haven't found any other options yet, I want to try and squeeze the best latency I can.Posting my favorite emulator games to keep it fun.
>>12247960dont even need to see your skin
>>12247973Wow, you are such a meany, so elite, so proud and powerful. Almost makes you wonder what you are doing in here, in 4 fucking chan, lol
>>12247975why are you so angry buddy
>>12247960What’s up with so many 3rd world brownoids in retroshit?Because you can steal thousands of games?
>>12247980are you saving the white race, son?
>>12247980Steal your women actually
>>12247998isn't that guy half asian and caucasian
>>12248019Yeah, the only brown thing about him is being a rapper really
>>12247980Kekaroo! Retro goyme communites were better when it was just turd worlders playing genesis to dreamcast on their shitboxes. When 7th gen and higher became too shit, that's when the coomlectors got worse.>>12247998>The best retroidittor's can come up with>Former didney sitcom star.

>>12248034shut the fuck up cletus, you're just like kikes with your "he's only one of us when it conveniences us" bullshit kys kike slime
I've been thinking of upgrade from my RG35XXSP to something modern and a bit more powerful. What should I go for? I usually only play PS1 and PSP games, but I think it'd be great to play some steam jrpgs and have access to cloud saves while at work and then be able to keep playing on PC when I get home. They AYN stuff seems to be mot recommended but I'm worried about how long it'll take to ship. Is there a better option?
>>12248076The Simply Fantastic 2K (SF2000)Unless you dont intend playing Switch games a lot.
>>12248074Kikeoids bVUCK broke you!
>>12248086>thinking about niggers for no reasonyep I'm thinkin you're a kike lmao
>>12248076Why upgrade? Because rg35xx plays psp poorly?
>>12248085why do you keep shilling this dogshit handheld and saying it can play anything when its like 5 bucks, do you just have a lot of unsold dropshipping stock or something?
>>12248090>He thinks I'm not black>Only blacks can get buck broken. [While getting buck broken over retroon]>He thinks he's buck broken by rando kikes>He thinks retroon will make a mini v2 4:3 editionI'm thinkin either anal shattered or a severe case of hemmoroids>>12248098He said steam jrpg's so he'd deal with winlator/gamehub bullshit either way.
>>12248034*raper
>>12248098There's that, but I'd also like a bigger screen and joysticks for other systems.
>>12248102Weapons Grade Autism Right HereHe can't even Switch in the Simply Fantastic.
I'm playing earthbound for the first time on my anberslop because I kept reading about how great the mother series is. Turns out its actually one of the most pleasant games I've ever played. I normally hate RPG's with a passion, but man, I'm having fun.
>>12248139It is AMAZING.First game I finished in my Wall-E was Mother Perfect Edition in the NES.
>>12248139First one? Which one is the best
>>12248171No, I'm starting with the second. The first one is Mother for NES, second is Earthbound on SNES, third is Mother 3 for GBA. I'll play the NES one last as its my least favorite system of the three. I have no idea which is the best, as I've only played a few hours of Earthbound and none of the others. But from what I've read, Earthbound seems to be the most popular.
>>12248213Yeah i checked with chatgpt, it says the first is the shittiest one
>>12247337>>12247332Gkd pixel 2.It's a chore to switch screen every turn when playing pokeyman since the battle display is on top screen and the move options are bottom screen.
Can someone explain to me what this guy >>12248048 is trying to say? Did I witness someone having a stroke or something?
>>12248213stick with earthbound and you'll have a good time, then go to mother 3. 1 is a mixed bag and you probably won't like it if you don't like the nes and can't usually get into jrpgs but you may as well try it
>>12248259Schizophrenia and drugs, he usually talks to himself, not that he samefags, but his only audience is himself.
Think they’ll make a mini v3?
>>12248304What for? The v2 was just to fix their absolute fuck up with the first iteration.
>>12248306I desire METAL BOXES
>>12248319You'll take your glass panels and you'll fucking like it
>>12248329Guess I’ll just kill myself then (or buy a stupid classic but im not getting the japanese colors because i think theyre ugly)
>>12248329I get that Ayaneo won’t budge on glass panels because they think it’s “premium” even though it leads to constant smudges, but it’s ridiculous that both Anbernic and Retroid fell for it. And the only way to get around this crippling design flaw is to sell large screen protectors.
>>12248332>Guess I’ll just kill myself thenyou say that like it'll affect anyone
>>12248353Not really. >>12248345Just wipe it off with a microfiber cloth like a normal person. I genuinely don’t understand why people are weird about smudges.
>>12248262>Schizophrenic fantasiesAll you have>>12248353Retroid is the type who can't afford to lose even a SINGLE sale. Anbernig can survive on their endless supply of rockshit.
>>12248365its like people are too retarded to keep a microfiber cloth in the case with their handheld
>>12248365>I genuinely don’t understand why people are weird about smudges.Because it could be avoided in the first place if chinkheld companies went back to plastic body shells. Plus the durability benefits of plastic vs glass.
glass fronts killed transparent handhelds that's all I really care about
>>12248378Why are you dropping your handheld retard, you're supposed to hold it in two hands.
>>12248378>he wants plastic instead of cold steel ngmi
is there any reason to not get an ayn thor rn
>>12248401never get the initial production of anything, let other retards beta test
>>12248397>The worst jarpig trilogy out of thin air>>122484036 months for preorder piggies to beta test the hinge. No exceptions except powkiddy
>>12248417I want more metal handhelds.
>>12248401the price
>>12248393>bumps the corner against a counter or wall>whoops concentrated impact shattered the glass at the corner
>>12248427Or you could not be a child and watch where you’re fucking walking. The fuck is the matter with you? Are you genuinely bing bing wahooing in public?
>>12248431It's not about being purposefully animated like a child and then hitting something; it's the accidental bumps that you obviously don't intend to do (like accidentally dropping something even)Guaranteed you've bumped other things unintentionally or harder than you'd like onto counters and walls but they were things like pots and pans that can take an impactGlass on chinkhelds is not the Gorilla Glass on phonesIt's just waiting to shatter
>>12248213You should’ve started with the first one. It’s great.
>>12248438I’ve never dropped a laptop or anything like that. I haven’t dropped a handheld since I was a small child. I’ve never destroyed one. I still have my game boy, game gear, nomad, whatever. You must be the neighborhood spastic. Take care of your shit better.
>>12248451>He copes as retroon shitheld will either shatter in his sleep or explode while he whines on niggit.
>>12248451>I haven’t dropped a handheld since I was a small child. I’ve never destroyed one. I still have my game boy, game gear, nomad, whatever.Wow guess what? All of those used plastic bodies and screens evenThanks for proving my point that plastic survives punishment
>>12248460My brick hammer is harder than your arteries, I’ll be fine
>>12248464My shartui dumbo can survive an actual hammer unlike your ICK. Plastic will always be top dog.
the retroon DS + mini v2 combo won and i hate to say that
>>12247858https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wY-fP5zQjFw
fellow anbernin-enriched brothas, we made it
>>12248589>he boughted zhou's trash kek
>>12248589kek basedlet me guess, the dpad has no pivot
>>12248523So who here will be crazy enough to beta test it not just as a handheld, but as their phone?
Was thinking that by the time magic x releases their n64 handheld it'll be mogged by being slightly later than their competition like always, but then I was thinking with the ram shit going on maybe not
>>12248661unironically any retroon is the best n64 machine(s) no one else lets you calibrate the sticks and adjust the dead zones like they do. i like 0 dead zone for n64
>>12247847I will still get it by Christmas, right?
Uhh... ok, well, that's one way to do it, I guess.
>>12248686meanwhile 477m chads and miniv2 GODS are having fun RIGHT NOW
>>12248694It's only 85$ (with shipping) for me...
>>12248695>with shippingyou mean if shipping kek
>>12248696
>>12248702you got scammed gweilo
When buying on Retroid, what's the difference between DHL and 4PX for shipping? One's almost double the other in price. Worth it?
https://youtube.com/watch?v=5NUIs7ztaO8&pp=ygUGTWFuZ21p865 is the rumor but it's just a rumor.
>>12248768DHL is faster and might be safer than your local post. Saw posts from Canada on how some local post services are likely to «lose» packages. 4PX is slower, but you might avoid import fees with them depending on your country.
>>12248802>glass panelI bet Gorgom is behind this.
>>12248768I'd say DHL is slightly less likely to treat your package like a lovedoll but these days who knows
just got a tracking number for my odin 3
>>12248768DHL will usually require a signature up to your neighborhood really. how diverse is it?also the BF codes are still active make sure you use them
>>12248802>no toggleable triggersthey blew it. also I might be retarded but isn't there something about wanting your refresh rate to be a multiple of your fps? 144 seems like a weird choice over 120 if that's the case.
Just realized the Retroid Pocket 6 screen is 5.5 inches...which is smaller than my phone's screen. How the fuck is playing PS2 games on this ever going to be comfortable? Or am I exaggerating?
>>12248589Why can't I hold all this jelly?
Talk me out of it. Would use it for Saturn and MAME (and GBA, MD, etc, PSX RPGs).
>>12249065if you sat 10 feet away from a 24 inch tv when the ps2 was new it would look like the retroid screen from 22 inches away. which farther away than most people hold it.
>>12249069I get your pain, this is my first and only handheld for a while. I spent all my funny money to buyed it :(
I love that my anbernig has a trash D pad because it gives me something to blame when I fuck up in platformers
>>12248589interesting, that's the only one i've seen that actually looks like a ds model.
>>12248423You have 4 different flavours of price. Now if you are a massive poorfag then maybe the nig RG DS is a "better" purchase, just try to tolerate the garbage hardware
>>12249145you cry so fucking much about people enjoying the RGDS, why cant you just be happy with purchasing your more expensive stuff with more capacity? are you so insecure you have to punch bellow your weight to feel powerful? you sound like a kid bragging about his cop dad
luv me flip2.just beat FFT on it.have there been any developments on modifications, apps and emulators over the last half a year or so? I kept it offline and just played games on it but wouldnt mind to improve it.most major thing I did was install the sound fix.
>>12249091Won’t get anything better for segashit since retroon only made it to offload panels and nobody really wants a six button layout besides people playing Lunar in current year
I'm setting up Saturn emulation on my RP5 since I never had one and I wanted to play them Sega games. What's the recommended button layout for most commonly used buttons, since RP5 has only 4 face buttons while Saturn had 6?Having played around a bit it seems like>A (RP5) = C (Saturn)>B = B>Y = A>X = X>LB = Y>RB = Zis the best combination since ABC are the most commonly used face buttons in games I tested so far, but obviously it's clunky as hell.
>>12249236either that or binding the two extra buttons to RB1 and RB2, a lot of games just use the three-button layout so don't worry too much about it
>>12249236whats the best saturn emulator on it?I'm in your position but with a flip2. would really like to see some saturn games.
>>12249242nta but I settled on the YabaSanshiro retroarch core
>>12249242I use the Beetle retroarch core
>>12249242I pirate whatever the paid one is.
>>12247973>>12247980Imagine not being at least trilingual in several european languages.Pathetic
>>12249537He barely speaks English, but will mock you and call you ESL if you commit a typo, regardless of whether English is your second or third language. This is the arrogance of the American Whitetrash.
I betrayed you /hhg/. I boughted a ROG Ally non-extreme Z1 for $100 USD and I'm having a blast emulating Pokemon Fire Red for the 1000th time.
>>12249091Probably cheaper than what you would pay buying direct.
>>12249628>giant ass x86 monstrosity >gameboy advance game Based
>>12249628>$100Give it back, Jamal.
>>12249642You're not wrong. I did buy it from a young future doctor and engineer.>>12249639Thx
>>12248431Handhelds are at their best when they feel durable or at least east to repair like the PSP. A glass front handheld is the worst thing you can do because repairs will be that much harder and you aren’t going to want to bring it around anywhere for fear of breaking it.
>>12249628>pedomonno accounting for taste
>>12249657RGXX devices offer this experience even without the glass panel. That's why this stuff is classified as chinkshit. Fuckin' way she goes.
Don't know why everyone shilled the trimui brick its too cramped to be enjoyable and the speakers suck.
>>12249729Verticalfags are a vocal minority
>>12249729>its too cramped to be enjoyableThat's just vertical handhelds in general. If you're buying one, you already know it's not going to be super ergonomic>the speakers suckThey're acceptable for a $50 handheld and speakers are never a big make or break for most people when buying a chinkheld, it's just a nice bonus when they're actually good.
>>12249730This
>>12249731I don't hate veticals I just think it could've benefitted from being a bit bigger. The Chromatic is comfortable to me.
when will vertislop die alreadyliterrally NO ONE has made anything as comfortable as a gameboy color so what's the fucking point
>>12249729Cost-to-performance, screen quality.
>>12249748I don't even mind the screen on the GBC, even though its awful. Probably just due to fond memories. If you had the right ambient lighting it looked darn nice. I had the twirly book light thing that plugged into the data port or whatever it was.
>>12249657Maybe put it in a case or just don’t bing bing in public like a child or just carry your shit
>>12249748Alright I'll bite, what makes the GBC so comfortable?
No vertical is comfortable and any exception people have in their mind is due to nostalgia
I dont need a Thor but with the upcoming prices of things going up, im tempted to order one.
r36mini #1
>>12249748wrong
Do you ever pog when watching hardware reviews and you see your favorite game show up randomly? I thought Joey was a loser, but a loser wouldn't play Legend of Dragoon.
>>12249764big buttons and dpad, wide enough to be comfy
>>12249849A ton of chink vertislops are wider than the GBC m8. Also the Gameboy line had tiny d-pads, what are you smoking?
>>12249857no vertislop has as big buttons positioned correctly thoughever
>>12249858Pocket DMG. That’ll be 450 plus tariff gweilo
>>12249861tiny buttons
>>12249841He isn't playing Legend of Dragoon, he's reading about someone else playing it.
>>12249831Do you seriously need an external DAC for your chinkheld? It's also inconvenient having a weight like that hanging off the USB port while you're holding up your chinkheld to play.It's not like you're listening to high quality source material given all the compression that happens with in-game sound and music
>>12249951chinkhelds actually make great MP3 players, people just repurpose old ones to do just that.
Noob here, is MuOS the only one that can read roms from both SD cards at the same time?I have two 64GB card and it's a waste to use 1 card for OS only
>>12250012Use the rest of the space in the TF1 card for high quality MP3 (320kbps) or FLAC audio. You can add a couple thousand HQ MP3 and a dozen FLAC albums in those 60GB you have left in the OS card.Then download ROCKBOX from PortMaster, makes a great MP3 player!This way if you have to update your OS and screw it up, you only have to reflash the OS and do not loss your curated list of games.
I preordered an ANY Thor, what am I in for lads? Will this be the best handheld I buy or will I end up being terribly disappointed by it?
>>12248768DHL drivers will treat your handheld like its a golden egg and deliver it as soon as possible while 4PX drivers will leave it sitting a pile of shit and feces for a month before deciding to kick it into a shipping containerI'm a greedy little bitch so I chose 4PX and didnt get shit for a month then I chose DHL and got my goydin 2 portal in 3 days
>>12250142AYYYN LMFAO
>>12250149That bad? Should I cancel it? And if so what should I get instead?
>>12250142the AYN Thor and Odin 2 Portal are at the top of most jewtubers tierlists for a reason. The AYN Thor especially is the best of the dual screens, all the other options are dogshit that can barely run at 1x scaling.
>>12250153I am trolling, you will be ok, enjoy it. If I could afford it I would have ordered one as well.
>>12250158>all the other options are dogshit that can barely run at 1x scaling.This manchild is stuck in the Y2K console wars like the retard whitetrash he is Dual Screen handhelds, available right now, are on different segments each, they do not compete against each other. But this retard is stuck in his chauvinistic, masturbatory, identity politics. "You are not what you own, but it seems those things do own you"
>>12250170*BRRAAAPPPP*I'm sorry you couldnt afford a dual screen that can run a youtube video and a rom at the same time third world kun.
>>12250202You truly don't sound like the cool guy you must think you sound like..
>>12250202put ur trip back on dude
Retarded question here: can muOS do the deep sleep thing the stock Anbernic os does on the SP? You know, the thing where you close your chinkheld while playing and then when you open it again, press the power button once and you are back to the game. Last time I tried muOS, the thing had to load the whole OS before loading the game after closing the SP
Will NDS/3DS emulation get better? Every video I've seen on things like the Thor and other Dual Screens talk about how it's better to keep a 3DS if you have one because the software just works better. I'm not very bright, so I don't really understand why that is. Is it a software issue or a hardware issue?
>>12250267The new MuOS update, as far as I understand, does that, but cannot detect when you open it to wake up automatically. It goes to sleep by closing but wont wake up by opening, for that you will have to push power once. Then it wakes up where you left.
>pocket air mini still hasn't shippedowari da...c'est fini...it's over...
>>12250270Probably. Saturn emulation used to be absolute dogshit, just took decades to reach an acceptable point. That being said, there’s no reason to get rid of your hardware.
My endgame handheld shipped 2 years ago
>>12250326what was it
>>12250332SHITIT WAS SHIT AND NOT GOOD ENOUGH BECAUSE IT CANT PLAY 3DS at 2X AND PLAY FURRY PORN AT THE SAME TIME, GET ON MY LEVEL PEASANT POOR THIRD WORLDER
>>12250332The Simply Fantastic 2K. (SF 2000)
>>12250340Do u like mexican food?
>>12250342GET OUT OF MY COUNTRY PEDRO NO ONE LIKES YOUR SHITTY CHALUPES
>>12250270>Will NDS/3DS emulation get better?For mobiles? Probably not. Not in the foreseeable future at least.Exophase left and the mobile port of Arisotura's MelonDS isn't even official meaning the actual developer of the emulator doesn't give a shit.As for 3DS, Azahar is all there is, and the devs are worthless hacks incapable of making any sort of progress even on the PC version. Actual bugs get given the Low Priority label on GitHub or straight up swept under the rug.
So what's everyone playing? Just got my Brick, playing PSII grinding for Laconian gear for the past hour or so.
>>12249664>Chinkheld thread>"Taste"Geg!>Pedo>When joey and techdweeb weren't posted???>>12250202>Brapping in publicACKyn shills, everyone. The second you "attack" their daddy chinkoid company, they squirt anal liquid.
>>12249065My RP5 has the same amount of screen real estate as my Galaxy S20 FE with a 6.5" screen because phones have a retarded 20:9 aspect ratio and front camera wasting space.
>>12250345But I am in my own country....
>>12248663retroon is the best for anything besides super intense stuff like new pc releases really, absolutely great power and features for the cost
>>12249065I've got an rp5 and it feels a lot larger than you would expect when you're actually using it
>>12249941This. If you use a guide you didn't beat the game>>12250158>the AYN Thor and Odin 2 Portal are at the top of most jewtubers tierlists for a reason.I thought they were being paid to shill AYN. At the very least, they get the devices for free so they downplay the price factor
>>12250448The price factor might have something to do with the fact that they are the best.
>>12250353sir, where is your shader?the brick high res screen is great for that.
>>12250450how can something with a 16:9 screen be the best for playing retro games? either 1:1 or 4:3 or fuck off imo
>>12250501just change the format when ur playing retro games retard-kun
>>12249729verticals are garbage go for clamshells or psp-likes
>>12250502>paying extra just to look at bigger black barsno thanks
>>12250473Newtard here, what shader is that? I tried a couple from RA but none did the dracula eye thing
>>12250473there aren't that many options and I don't know what to use. my go-to is crt-royale but I'm not sure if this thing can handle such an intense shader.
>>12250510I never see black bars on my black RP5.
>>12250510these are OLED displays with HDR, you dont see bars
>>12250518>>12250520cope. would rather get a 4:3 or 1:1
>>12250524enjoy ur vertislop then
>>12250512a modified tvout-tweaks with fake-crt-geom with a little fix.the parameters i use for fale-crt-geom are>gamma in: 2.40>gamma out: 2.20>bright boost dark: 1.50>bright boost bright: 1.20>scanline low: 0.50>interlace: 0>lanczos fake artifacts: 0>curvature: both at 0>corner and vignette: also 0the fix i applied to fake-crt-geom is modifying line 223 from>if (InputSize.y>400.0) {ogl2pos /= 2.0;to>if (InputSize.y>400.0 && a_interlace == 1.0) {ogl2pos /= 2.0;so interlacing is turned off properly.if you don't do that and play a high res game you'll be missing every other line because it will treat 448 and 480 as 224 and 240.i would actually use interlacing, but it's broken and stops switching fields after like 10 seconds. don't know what causes it as everything seems to work properly. but the shader seems to stop being able to read the variable that checks to know if the current frame is odd or even.this is the modified tvout-tweaks i'm using>https://github.com/Sakitoshi/retropie-crt-tvout/blob/master/to_configs/all/retroarch/shaders/tvout/shaders/tvout-tweaks_smart_nogamma.glslit's just to add slight blending for dithering. you can skip it if you want.>>12250513>minuingmi.though, i think there is a way to add more shaders. but i uninstalled and went with anotherstockmix because minui is too limited.
>>12250552Does anotherstockmix have the limbo bug fix?
>>12249831my chinkheld also has a bepis
>>12250512>>12250473screen is too small for pvm style scanlines fakelottes is that you need here
>>12250556you mean sleep mode overheating?never happened in stock. only in minui.
Is there anywhere I can buy custom buttons for the AYN Thor? I ordered the rainbow one because I like the color of the handheld but I don't care for the rainbow buttons. I think it would be nice if I could find some redish buttons like on the old famicom.
>>12250518you should be taking advantage of 5x scaling on 1080p panels anyways
why does playing nes games with a clicky dpad feel so wrong bros
>>12250607Dunno, I played a bunch of NES games on GBA SP as a kid so I’m kinda used to it. It may not have been as clicky as some of the recent handhelds/controllers but I still prefer clicky over mushy
Is Knulli still the go to for an RG35XXSP?
>>12250613sp dpad is goated
>>12250613You will never be a real dpadYou are an appliance switch twisted by drugs and surgery into a crude mockery of gunpei yokois perfection
>>12250627sp mogs mushy sorry bro
>decided on a brick hammer>no purple option like the base versionsheeeit
>>12250607Depends on the game>>12250627Chinks switched to clicky so much lately because it's easier to make an okay clicky dpad than a half decent memebrane. Hell, the trimui smart, smart pro, and brick were designed to be rubber but they couldn't figure out how to make it not shit. This effects even telescopic controllers as bsp released like 7 shitty memebrane dpads until the designer just switched to dome switches. Bigger companies like hello gamesir don't have that problem and anbenrig is half and half. The 35xx is a successor to the rg300, but the dpad is way worse for no reason.
>>12250642Take it apart and paint the aluminium yoself nigga
>>12250647After seeing RG35XXSP it’s kinda surprising no other chink company fucked up the dome switches
I'm out of the loop on handhelds for the past year or two, but what is the purpose of he TrimUI S line? It runs the same systems as the A133P in the TSP/Brick but is a little better at PSP and DC? But it runs hotter, has a fan, and MSRP is ~40% more iirc. I hope they at least put proper speakers in them instead of using the cheap toy train speakers.
When can we expect review vids of the rp6? I need to know if I should cancel or not
>>12250861im half expecting retroon to cancel rp6 preorders due to ram and ufs prices i fomo pre-ordered 2
>>12250823its better than the tsp but slower than the mamdani which is slower than the rp3+ and RG405M. the mid-range segment has basically regressed. You will soon yearn for the days of the T618
>>12250880Apparently they're starting a new batch of pre-orders for march today with the retail price, so either they managed to secure a ton of RAM or these will be limited. FOMO sounds like a good idea in the current climate, even if the RP6 sucks.
>>12250881the rp3+ was at the top when it came out though, the middle back then were cheap linux ones, the rp2s was a huge exception and they realized that and stopped making it because that, the mangmi/ pocket air mini are the new mid rangefor now at least, who knows with the fucking ram shit
>>12249951>Do you seriously need an external DAC for your chinkheld?Not that anon but most chinkhelds have noise and interference when using the headphone jack. I assume USB DACs solve this and obviously allows PEQ. You could use one of the simple lightweight DACs like Apple's to workaround the weight issue. I'm not sure what the battery cost is for using USB DACs though.
>>12250897you're missing a crucial factthe t618 can get 15+ hours of gameplay on powersave mode. it also doesn't need a fan to play N64 and DC. Im being serious, we have moved back from it.
RP6 preorders after today 8PM central will cost 20 more dollars and ship in March instead of January. I feel the fucking FOMO
>>12249069Eat shit namefagAlso nice tripcode
>>12250981Nevermind, they just made the change minutes ago. RIP
>>12250981wow march damni fomo boughted a black and silver during BFi wonder if they will raise prices across the board
>>12250569I know what kind of man you are..
>>12250202You sound like a snoy.
I dont give a fuck about RP6.I bought the RP G2
>>12251407Be careful, anon. Joey is gonna have a meltie over it.
>>12249841ewww what is wrong with his fingers?!
>>12251407I don't either, but that's because I already have a RP5 and a RPC-6. I'll wait for fags to beta test the dual-screen crop and maybe I'll pick one up this time next year. I don't have a fear of missing out because 3DS emulation is so shit on jewdroid.
>>12251407I don't really "get" RP6 or RP G2. RP5 runs fine up to the WiiU at 1x to 3x scaling depending on the console and the game. I don't really see the point of emulating PS2 at like 5x since past 2.5x I can't really tell the difference on a 5.5 inch screen. Other devices like the Thor offer something more like the dual screen gimmick or pretend to be Steam Deck alternatives. Switch emulation is still buggy while the device is too weak for Xbox/Xbox360/PS3. I "get" that it's a better performing device, but everything either already runs smoothly on the RP5 or runs like shit due to reasons unrelated to device performance.
>>12251481If another vertishit drops that has as good of a display and more power for shaders, I’ll pick that up. Otherwise I’m in the same camp. Wait and see what happens
Fuck do I FOMO a steamdeck or a thor or an rp6
>>12251685or also 477m
>>12251685Cut tot he chase:Simply Fantastic 2k (SF2000)
>>12251426You're focusing on the wrong thing. That's Legend of Dragoon right there!
>>12251685There's gonna be another 'eck, there's no need for a rp6 if you have a rp5, let retards test out the thor before you buy it.
wanted to grab the rp6 but i see they're not shipping until marchodin 3 is a fair bit more expensive, but at least i can get it next monthoh well, sucks for retroid
>>12251935same crap company
>>12251481the duel screen retroid attachment seems pretty functional after they updated it, or the latency doesn't seem all that crazy at least. I'm waiting for mine to ship before I can confirm but everything I've seen about it seems solid. Is 3ds bad bad or it just doesn't fare well with upscaling?
>>12251705Cope. r36s chads won.
>>12251956I didn't find it particularly enjoyable. I used it once, then shelved it.
>>12252016I definitely won't keep it attached at all times but it'll be good for when I'm feeling ds stuff like etrian odyssey
>>12252026Strangely enough, I enjoyed emulating Etriams on my surface pro but the video out and large display made it a bit more engaging to map everything out.
My Ayaneo Pocket Air Mini went from "prepped for shipping" to "ready for shipping"...I've never had this problem with them when I got either my Ayaneo Pocket Air or my Pocket Evo. Even with the current RAM crisis I don't know what the fuck is going with that company.
>>12252234I don't see the problem, it sounds like prepped was getting packaged, and ready is like ready to be put in the mail
i love the rp6's new design
>>12252271IT'S SHIT FUCK YOU
>>12252271It's the most basic bitch handheld design that we've seen 1000 times already, what is there to be excited about?
>>12252271i ordered the silver oneit reminds me of my old silver psp and i loved that thing
>>12252254It’s not that big a deal in the grand scheme of things yeah, but I never really had this long of a wait between notifs and crowdfunding closing with the company’s prior devices. Usually it was “crowdfunding has closed” and then I’d get an update email in a week or two saying “Your perk has shipped!”. I’m guessing it’s partly a mixture of the current RAM crisis with manufacturers going in a full panic and rushing to get their orders done before the situation gets worse, along with the likely possibility that Ayaneo never expected the Air Mini to be as popular as it was with the company struggling to keep up with demand overseas and in China. Because the sales numbers are probably the highest they’ve ever been for an Ayaneo product as of late.
>>12252286i went with silver too, since black was out of stock and i already have a black mini v2hoping its the same look and feel as the old silver ds4 controllers
Now that I've finally got one of these things: What are your favorite games where you jump right into the action for NES, SNES, GBC and GBA? I've been enjoying quick Tetris rounds, but want to expand a bit. Some of the Panesian NES nudey games are nostalgic, but less engaging than Tetris. Pocket Bomberman is great, but I've already played it so much.
>>12252351Donkey Kong
I can't believe the SF2000 is going to be $300 from now ondid they really have to give it 16gb of gddr6 ram?
i bought the rp g2 and i like it
>>12252351>GBCI got mine last week and already beat Magical Chase and Kid Icarus Myths and Monsters on it. They were amazing imo
>>12252351
>>12251407>>12252572Why the fuck did they call it G2? Why not Retroid Pocket 5 Plus? It's literally just an RP5 with a chip upgrade.
>>12252351black box NES games (DK, DKJR, Wrecking Crew, Mario Bros, SMB, etc)Game & Watch series on GB
>>12249841WTF, for real why do his fingers look like that?Is that some kind of gender affirming surgery?Maybe he identifies as Meghan Fox.
>>12252570I mean, it makes sense now that the PS3 emulator is finally able to run on it, because it will need all the RAM you can toss at it in order to run demanding PS3 games. That thing is... So Fabulous (MM)
>>12252947Gender euphoria, or gender squared.
IT'S OUT https://youtu.be/gkPmfUMy_vo
>>12253041I'll wait for the 477sp
>>12253048that would be kino
>>12253041>Sent Russ the review unit ahead of the preorder windowI guess this is was the product Max Zhou was confident in, because it sure as fuck wasn't the RG DS.
Not sure if this is where I should ask, but is anyone here knowledgeable about shaders? How come if I just want to use 1 shader, for example, lcd3x, people recommend using 2 shaders - stock.glsl + lcd3x.glsl? What's the point when stock is just stock?
>>12253052Ya they know how loved the 477 is
>>12253052They caved in for Russ' "window protection insurance" modus operandi. If they dont send it early for him to milk Youtube AD views, he will cry and say the device is THE WORST IN THE WORLD OMG IT IS INCREDIBLY BAAAAAAD
>>12253072He was right btw.
>>12249951yes
>>12253084Purchase an AD Russ.We dont trust your MDMA Calf Eye´d reviews. Only Joey is honest and an Ally of LGTBP and NAMBLA
>>12253093I have a feeling googling the latter will put me on a list.

best handheld for like 60 usd?
>>12252572you are dumbyou could have buyded rp5 for ~$150 on 11/11 which is 80%-90% of the real world performance of the g2 or paid a little more and boughted rp6

>>12253216rightis Anbernic RG-476H any good?
>>122532143326 should be fine up to ps3, expect some issues with 360 and PC games
>>12253225In his case he would be better of with Simply Fantastic 2K (SF2000), no need to play PS3, up to PS2 and SWITCH is more than enough.
>>12253220Not sure, but something similar that I know is good is the RGCube XX.

Will RAM prices get back to where they were or lower later next year when the AI bubble bursts?Maybe it would be better for it to burst in a couple of more years in order for China to set their NAND chip factory building to overdrive and multiply their production capacity (more offer, lower prices)?
>>12253474>RAM prices get back to where they wereHAHAHAHHAHHAHnever
I don't know if this is the right thread, but I just modded my 3ds following the guide here ( https://3ds.hacks.guide/finalizing-setup.html )After doing running this step and powering off the console after a successful finalization script, the sd card became unreadable both in the console and the computer. What can I do?
>>12253474There will never be a dramatic bubble "burst." Maybe AI will lose its speculative luster, but in that case it will just "deflate" over time. By then, the market will have been enshitified for long enough for RAM prices to just remain pretty high.I would say it's a bad time to be a waitfag, unless you're really interested in certain technology maturing, like dual screens or whatever.
>>12253474Oy vey, someone report this antisemite to Palantir.
my redmagic 11 pro arrived but I'm quite sure what controller I should go with. Is there decent options yet for the proper playstation form factor or is it still all dogshit? I really want a mobile controller but the idea of the analog stick being above the dpad just kills me every single time. I tried really hard to tolerate it on my legion go but I just couldn't and it gathers dust from the discomfort I feel from trying to play platformers on it. Do normies and zoomies just not understand that the dpad is supposed to be a primary form of input, not some secondary on that is way out of reach or shit quality? I don't give about about hall effect sticks, I just want a danm decent dpad for once.
>>12253312>TechDweeb'sThat faggit 100 fucking percent never actually plays games
>>12253743That is what you're moma said about him.
Is there any consensus on whether Linux or Android is better for Saturn? I might be retarded because even the 2D games I assume to be less demanding refuse to even launch on Yabasanshiro 2 on android
>>12253915try RA on android
>>12253927With which core? It's really choppy with both Yabause and Yabasanshiro and frameskip doesn't seem to even work?
>>12253941sounds like you need more hardware
Just got the r36h in the mail, my first chinkheld after only emulating on pc for years. It felt much less cheap than I thought it would be, nice heaviness. I feared the screen would feel small but it appeared much larger than I envisioned. Thumbsticks et al not as good as an old 360 controller though. Well worth the 30 euros.
>>12253474>Next year>AI bubble burstsThe main issue here is that there's only 2 RAM manufacturers and they're colluding to not produce more supply because they got burnt the last time they made too much RAM and had to lower prices so now they price fix. Dont expect RAM prices to drop until 2028.
>>12248589So fucking big though. I want something that's basically the same size as the ds
>>12253743He's like the only one that plays games. Everyone else shows games that they obviously haven't gotten very far in
>>12253941Yaba Sanshiro standalone has the best performance on weak hardware.
Is buying a rg34xx sp to play on a crt tv the best for the buck if I want to balance between playing gba games on the handheld and retro 4:3 on the tv?
>>12254183What?
>>12253312I'll definitely have to watch that video soon, because I don't know why he'd put the RG 476H over the 477M unless he enjoys a glass front + stacked shoulder buttons over a better chipset + metal shell.
>>12253102how in the FUCK is this, of ALL THE FUCKING THINGS Southpark makes up, the ONLY ONE THAT IS REAL!?and how the fuck did i just learn about this even tho i did saw this ep decades ago?
>>12254210What what?
>>12253312He had too many S tier ones, how am I supposed to know which one to buy?
>>12254220what what
>>12253637I believe it's still the bsp d9 and the d9 dpad isn't too good since it's dsp.
>>12254221Just go for the form factor you like the most
>>12249835>shit d-pad placementSo close, yet so unbelievably far.
>>12251426Common disorder amongst pogues, caused by gooning and pressing one singular button throughout the contract.
>>12254150Really, what does he play? I cringed when the retro game corps nigger was talking about his sea of stars playthrough. I know that nigger doesn't play games either
>>12253041I'll be honest, this probably mogs the rp classic. Ergos look significantly better and while I really like the miniv2/RPC screen, the 477M screen is incredible
>>12253041WaitWhy the FUCK did they change the dpad to a smooth one?God fucking damn it max it took you YEARS to have a dpad that only just recently is good without modding and you fucking change it like the retarded faggot chink that you are. Then again this is the same yellow nigger that used the shittiest possible dome switches and put out TWO (2) clicky dpads with no pivot. Not that theres any reason for a powerful vertislop to exist anyways
I'm serious. Buy a $30 piyoo flip if you can and compare the dpad and buttons to a 35sp or 34sp. The difference is insane. Miyoo should just make inputs for other companies its all they're good at

I have a huge problem with my R36SI have installed TMR sticks and bow I an unable to go up and down in Retroarch's menu but I can play correctly and the device tester shows them working right. Even the D-pad doesn't work. On the ArkOS menu and game, all fine Do I have to reinstall ArkOS?

>>12254516>you def dont need aftermarket sticks on the right stick lolApe Escape disagrees, Alien Trilogy too
>>12254551stock sticks are better for mame and using as a dpad substitute. i can live without a couple of meme twinstick games when there are thousands that benefit from the stock cardinal sticks
>>12254132I like that... I have really big hands so it feels pretty good, and it still fits in my pants pocket/jacket
>>12254132>>12254571DSi XL Midnight blue is the best model of the Nintendo DS ever made and the RGDS is just about the exact same size. Too bad the RGDS is dogshit and we'll never get factory new DSi XLs ever again..
>>12253915Linux will always be better than Android for emulation by virtue of the fact the emulators are not ported over and relying on different teams or forks to manage their support. Android is at the mercy of whoever is providing the apk and typically has no access to nightlies. Just go look at the abysmal PS2 support Android has.
>>12254629Widespread support of SteamOS can't come soon enough to ARM devices
Thx for being the beta tester, I will purchase v2.
>>12254474sounds like classic retroarch fuckery, haven't had that problem but similiar weird shit like it thought I had 2 controllers installed but only had 1 etc. You have to reset all the controller stuff in there, going under the hood, in the hood, smoke crack, became a retroconsole, in the form of a crackhead. When you reach Zen, the TMR sticks will be more accurate.
Best budget handheld around $50? I only want to play GBA and NDS games. Is any worth it for that price? Or should I just stick to my 2DS? I honestly just want a cute looking machine that isn't garbage.
>>12254674NDS games aren't happening on budget devices unless you plan on playing with consistent frame drops at 1x.For GBA the bext is the RG34XX (It's literally a GBA 1:1 just with the cartridge slot having a ZL and ZR button now), RG35XX-SP, the RG34XX-SP (If you want it smaller and with sticks for some reason), or the Miyoo Mini Flip v2 if you want a worse RG34XX-SP.
>>12254674>should I just stick to my 2DS?fuck yeah dude. 2ds can play ds, 3ds, gb, gba, and nes (and some snes)if you want all snes and ps1 you might want to get a cheap $30 handheld but if not you're fine
>>12254681>>12254697Ah okay damn I figured. I might pick one of those super cheap handhelds on Aliexpress just to have a cool looking console then
>>12254726If you can find a good DSi/DSiXL that has little to no yellowing, they're the peak Nintendo DS experience. Just be sure to run a full white screen for a while to help de-yellow them.
>>12254726>I might pick one of those super cheap handhelds on Aliexpress just to have a cool looking console theni got an r36s for $25 off amazon. it's shaped like a purple gameboy color with the transparent shellits uncomfortable as fuck, the dpad is terrible, the screen has lines through it but I love it. 4:3 screen plays ps1 perfectly.

anyone here tried these small game boy looking joysticks?
>>12254740>>12254759>>12255071>>12255074I ended up ordering a second hand Anbernic RG35XX H for 34 €. It looks cool and if I like it maybe I'll get a better retro handheld in the future.I'll just play NDS games on my 2DS
Why did Anbernic release a great Atomic Purple clone with the original RG35XX and then never use the color again? I would have bought a few of their devices by now if they just released that again instead of their shitty green and red transparent shells.
>>12255140My 353V is purple, it looks horrible and nothing like atomic. They also used it on the 406H. The real tragedy is how they only used cuck green twice.
>>12255091that's just original ps1 analog joystick caps SAAR

it finally arrived after traveling for over a month. my first chink handheld.personally I find it super comfortable without the tpu grip - 3ds form factor just works. the grip itself feels like two shitty rubber balls though.handles switch games well, playing xenoblade chronicles 3 at native res docked on the pro model with no issues.dual screens are great for ds/3ds games. feels a bit janky sometimes but not a dealbreaker.triggers are genuinely awful. thought reviewers were exaggerating but they were actually underselling how bad they are. only real complaint with an otherwise solid form factor.overall pretty decent product.

How do you guys feel about Wulff Den? His top five were:1. Nintendo Switch 22. AYN Thor3. Lenovo Legion Go S4. ASUS ROG Xbox Ally X5. Retroid Pocket 5I was surpised the Odin Portal 2 wasn't up there, but I guess when you have the Thor you don't need the Odin.
>>12256167>Wulff Denthat guy grooms minors in his discord server
>>12256167>Switch 2He's retarded. I impulse bought one this year and have barely touched it after my first week with MK World other than the occasional round of Fortnite
I'm worried about RAM and GPU prices effecting the chinkies...
>>12256208CXMT will save us
>>12256208Funny enough, they've got the best chance of fixing that problem for themselves.Most of the world is dependent on companies like Samsung, Kioxia, and Micron for flash memory, and two of those are leaving the consumer space. Meanwhile, China is BIG on recycling flash chips and even have their own fabs for new chips.In a year or two, there's a good chance they'll have circumvented the problem entirely.

>>12256815>that same faggot who doesn't own a single handheld and cries because they won't make a 4:3slop for him because he can't stand invisible black oled bordersI simply don't care that you choose to make your own problems in life
>>12256809Maybe it was two threads ago, but I'm the poster who has contact with powkiddy. And why the x18s is gone...>>12256814Might or might not be cancelled because that chip gets hot. Like, fuckhot. Trimui was smart for adding a fan, but only a gb of ram. Gamemt was smart for giving the e6max 4gb of ram, but no cooling solution. The rgb50 could've been cool, but powkiddy underestimated the heat.>>12256815They're not arm linux handhelds. More people play android or modern games on android and x86 handhelds. It's why the x28 is so popular in china and pk's most sucsessful chinkheld. Cheap as shit and just works.
>>12256829Were you the one that hinted at a pk clamcel, any news on that?
>>12256838The x18s successor was hello canceled. At first, it was just going to be a different revision like the ultra with much better dpad, buttons, and maybe software. With each good idea, the engineer decided to make a new one with a better chip. Making powkiddy discontinue the x18s. I have the fuckest idea what happended, but the successor was cancelled too and powkiddy's being strange about telling me.
>>12256825what retro console are you playing in 16:9? even ps2 and gamecube dont look right with widescreen ""hacks"" that disrupt the intended fov and are basically an easy modeYou're not a gamer you just want to bring consumer spending habits into it
>>12256850>continues to make his own problems, cry, and be madDon't care, I'm playing games and enjoying myself
>>12256850psp is retro, chud
>>12256852me 2. beat crash on my r36s today>>12256854fuck the psp
>>12256858The GODsp BROKE you. I'm currently playing phantast star CHADable, but still kinda sad what happened to the regular rpg's
i'm playing Super Mario World on my flip2 with shaders, it's great and I love it. I do like one level at a time when I go to sit on the can (don't worry my device is very clean, i have alcohol spray). I'm also getting better at unbinding "rewind" and stuff, it's definitely more fun to not cheat myself and just accept the deaths even though my reflexes are going down with age
>THE DEVICE... GOT... SMUDGED!!!!!!!!!!!Are there any reviewers for whom "fingerprints" aren't a deciding scoreable factor?
>>12256892all reviewer niggers get the rope
>>12256892Wicked Gamer
>26 days>hasnt shippedthanks for ruining christmas you worthless fucking niggers
>>12256892I love my glossy as fuck ds lite, reminds me of a closed piano
wake me up when chinks can clone resistive touch screens
>>12256939They had those in their handhelds before. They just stopped using them.
>>12256167>Yet another list of best chinkhelds of 2025with the Thor on itWon bigly!

>>12257117>a whole video dedicated to consooming plastics to get a semblance of ergoskekkyPOW
I really want one of these but I can't justify buying it, I already own a normal version
>>12257152why
>>12257159It’s a literal weapons grade game boy
>>12257117But I don't have snacks and drinks ...
>>12257167You live in Afghanistan? is your favela a warzone?
>>12257182No but this bad boy will survive one. Game boys in general can survive war zones but I’d still like the weapons grade one.
>>12257152fuck i like those little inset linesbut they'd probably get full of dust and shit
>>12257117>Talking about the best grips needed for an AYN deviceThe company really needs to get their shit together with ergos the first time, because this reoccurring trend is fucking ridiculous. The Odin Lite absolutely did not have this problem, sure it's not a clamshell but at least it had more comfort than the Odin Portal.
>>12257167weapons grade means nothing, i'd rather have a video game grade one
>>12257229>id rather have video game grade qualityYou sure about that?
>>12257237>madKINOyes
i miss sonic love, did he die or something
>>12257152holy shit that's great
>>12257117Love how Retroid/AYN has normalized needing grips on all their devices and thus shifting the overton window away from size/cost/portability.
>>12257237You never used that controller.
>>12257485No but I had like 3 GameCube ones and 2 n64 ones.They were all shit, but cheap
>>12257152I really for some reason thought Palmer would try to separate ModRetro's image from his murderdrone company , guess not lol. Based?
>>12257152Cool, I can play Mario Land 2 on it, AND use it as a blunt weapon in case of a fight or flight scenario.
>>12257428Blame jewtendo and the shitty ergos on the 3DS/n3DS
>>12257780No I blame chinks for not improving on the design and their shills for deepthroating it. Hilarious how people shit on the Pocket DS for being big and clunky while praising the Thor as sleek and light, but then they start slapping massive grips on it anyways.
>dude just get a steam deckHow do you refute this?
>>12257812Doesn’t fit in my pocket
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=289iJjW9vrEI'm not grabbing either Ayaneo vertical since I'm getting the Pocket Air Mini and the form factor isn't comfortable for non GB games, but I'd still save up for the DMG instead if I had to. Having a plastic/metal body is way better than the glass front meme the company still falls for. Not to mention that it has a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 X which has its use when hooked up via HDMI, while the Vert seems to be a Snapdragon 8 Gen 1.
Anybody play fighting games on their chinkhelds? Are there any with easy arcade mode? I’ve tried Fatal Fury and Street Fighter 2 and the CPU is beating my ass on every platform (SNES/Genesis/Arcade). I know this shit was meant to be hard in the arcades to make you waste all your change but surely there are at least some which are somewhat “fair”?
>>12257812too expensive and not retro
>>12248589anon give it to me straight and properdoes the dpad have a pivot
>>12253086get a 90 degree adaptor idiot
>>12257873small button dogshit
>>12253114WHAT ANONI CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER THE FAN
>>12257874I can beat SF2 Turbo on the SNES and SF Alpha 3 on PSP on my chinkies but it has more to do if you know how to play fighting games and how the AI works
I bought.
>>12258009>400 dollars for a gameboy thanks goyim, the iron dome appreciates your money
>>12258009>$500 dollars for something that only plays proprietary cartridges LMAO
>>12257812
>>12258012>>12258014It's $350 and I already have an Everdrive GB X7.
>>12258017Why are you paying for individual retro video games in 2025.12? Do you just like buying things? The money certainly isnt going to the original developers just IP trolls who bought up rights
>>12258021>Why are you paying for individual retro video games in 2025.12?I literally just told you that I have an Everdrive. What are you talking about?>The money certainly isnt going to the original developers just IP trolls who bought up rightsWhat IP? Are you responding to the right person?
>>12258021NTA but do you not understand what an everdrive is?
>>12258029>>12258030I didnt know what an ever drive was and assumed anon was a modretro whale
>>12258030Maybe he thinks it's the same thing as an Evercade?
>>12257812You can't. The Steam Deck is an amazing choice for retro games. It can play anything, and you have access to your steam library without having to use stupid workarounds like Gamehub.
>>12258036The ModRetro Chromatic is just a fancy FPGA Game Boy. It plays all Game Boy and Game Boy Color cartridges. Its big selling point is a high quality shell, durable screen (either Sapphire or Gorilla Glass, depending on the model) and a custom LCD that closely emulates the feel of a GBC screen but with a modern backlight. The specific model posted is themed after Palmer Luckey's drone company, Anduril, and has a special cerakote coating, which is what they use on their flagship drones. It also has a matching set of Koss Porta-Pro headphones. The Everdrive GB X7 is a Game Boy flaschart that allows you to play GB and GBC ROMs off of an SD card.
>>12258046>Game Boy flaschartshow me any electronic device that you own that cant emulate gameboy perfectly. I bet even modern washing machines and fridges can emulate the gameboy.
>>12258071My toaster can only do NES
>>12258071NTA but you’d want one of these for the screen and build quality, it puts chink handhelds to shame for the most part.Maybe I’m just a consumer, this thread convinced me to buy one a few months ago.
>>12258071I like having handhelds that use regular AA batteries. The Chromatic can actually use AAs or a proprietary rechargeable battery that can be recharged via the USB-C port. I like that a lot. You never know when the power might go out for a lengthy period of time, and it's easy to stockpile AAs. The screen is also really nice. I do have plenty of emulation devices though. I currently enjoy the RG Slide, pic related.
>>12258076>able to afford it>never knows when the power might go out for a lengthy period of timeMust be nice being an African warlord. Well, even Bin Laden was a confirmed gamer.
>>12258084In the two years since I bought this house we've had a total of one power outage, and it only lasted 2-3 hours. It was during that weird hurricane last year that reached very far inland. I did grow up in a very rural area however, and power outages were common in the winter and often lengthy. The paranoia has never left me.
>>12258016the OLED being the only choice would be fine, the LCD Deck's screen is one of the worst screens to come from a mainstream console developer ever
>>12258087I feel you. I live in the Tex-Mex border, and we rarely get hard winters here, but when we do, even TEXAS becomes Frozen Hell... even Texas had weeks without electricity whereas we were out for a couple of days.Also have a bunch of battery things, Magnalight Weapon Grade Torch, GRUNDIG ShortWave Radio, lithium battery fans, and 3 handhelds. Plus a spare 20,000mAh battery. Oh and I just purchased pic related.MECHEN m30, I saw it when I was searching AliExpress for the RG34XXSP, and I had been looking for a dumb MP3 player with long lasting battery.It is perfect, it lasts 20hours, has 2 DACs, and can drive bigger headphones with plenty of power, but with modest earphones it will last 20 hours. My Spotify Favorite Playlist is 809 tracks, so I downloaded them at 320Kbps quality with cover art and metadata, using a free webpage, it takes 8GB, I got a 64GB card so the rest is FLAC albums (my favorite albums, no fillers). Great purchase for The Sticks, Black Outs, or BugOut Bag.
>>12258009If these had openfpga support I'd buy one in a heartbeat, I have the normal one and it's got the nicest build quality of any handheld I own
>26 days later>it finally shipped
>ayn in the top lists of everyone>smudgefags blown the fuck out by the simple act of having a microfibre cloth in the case with it>"J-just buy a steamdeck" despite it being years old with a dogshit screen and batter ylifeholy kek, poorfags seethe
>>12258087I want a modded gba so bad but I compromised and just got an rg34xx instead
>>12258196aynus shit is cheaper than a steamdeck oled you poorfag wimp, I spit on you
>>12258196Steam deck is more expensive than an Ayn Thor though??
>>12258196God I just wish it ran steamos doe. I hope next year is the year.
>>12258106How do you download your spotify playlist easily? thats the only thing stopping me now
>>12258245You will have to do it 50 items by 50 items, which is the limit in the site I found to be the very best one:https://spotdown.org/When I used it 50songs was a limit. Maybe now it isnt. What I had to do is copy 50 tracks into a temporal playlist and download it, then erase it. Then repeat with the next 50 tracks, and so on. It was faster than it sounds, just repetitive, and took me a whole office day. This site downloads 320kbps (most people cant tell it apart from FLAC) and metadata such as album art to each track. I will never go back to genocide Spotify.
>>12258254thanks
>>12258240>i bought something expensive 10 years ago im forever locked in with u rich guys right??but for real i own a steam deck, its trash, i would never recommend it to someone. the only reason people talk about it is the massive amount of funding steam puts into social media manipulation, especially on 4chan, sadly the most popular place to discuss video games
>>12258330okay saar
>>12258330Valve has so much money and a well established brand reputation that they don't need to pay people to shill for them, people will gladly do it for free. AYN and Retroid on the other hand probably would pay people, or at the very least incentivize people to give their devices good reviews with free review samples + affiliate links because they don't have infinite cash reserves.
>>12258352the problem with ai like this is it can take such a retarded stance and yet not know how retarded it sounds. like if youre a real person how the fuck do you think that statement makes any sense that having more money means you DONT pay people to do things for you
It seems to me that handheld reviewers don't know about running 16:9 games in 4:3 mode via hacks. You guys know about that don't you?
>>12257789The only comfy clamcel was the nvidia shield and its clone from ipega. With how much some manufacturers don't even pretend to give a fuck about leh pocketable, I'm surprised it isn't copied more.>>12258196>ACKyn shills pretend they aren't poorfags depsite it being cheaper than most x86 handhelds aside from the win 600>ACKyn shills reironiclly brag about beta testing chink clamshells not from powkiddy>Dial8YN shills feel superior for fucking armshit. Lol. Kekarooo even!>B-But muh dual shitNot watching shittok or jewtube while playing goymes, bruhtha.>>12258330>He thinks ACKyn or Retroon don't have acutal paid shills here despite the fact they have them everywhere else.Anbernig and Powchaddy are sometimes extremely retarded, yet their buyers aren't anywhere close to being this stupid.
>>12258410if its a poorfag device why are you buying dogshit handhelds instead of the best one? it wouldnt... cost too much money for you would it?
>>12258396>16:9 gamespsp/v doesn't exist to me

I shill armshit like poojeets on github issues.Pathetic. ACKyn almost had something good with the loki, but fumbled it hard. Wake me up when you acutally play goymes on your jewtube device.
why steamdeck when i can stream everything to my chinaheld?

>>12258816I don't pay taxes
>>12258827You pay taxes on any purchase.

>>12258240Mobile chips be cheaper yo. Steam deck is sold at a loss.
Besides the Analogue, is there a FGPA console that plays GBA cartridges?
Just ordered a Japanese DSi. These things are dirt cheap, much more so than the Chinese clones. I already have a 3DS-XL but NDS games upscale like trash on it. It's also way too damn heavy.
>>12258935https://youtu.be/jZLeyhRxhT4?si=pHd8G4qkp2Q2KO-N
Gonna get the late firmware motherboard foe DS Phat which gives it DS lite brightness incriments while still retaining the soulful muted colors. Ultimate way to play GBA
>>12258973Most definitely not. DSphat has tiny screens and is very heavy. Just about anything else is better.
>>12258830will cry tears of joy the day we're finally free of android shit
>>12258935Just be aware that some DSi XLs can have yellowed screens, at least mine did. I hear the easy fix is to just use some homebrew software that displays a constant white screen, and apparently that clears it up after a few days.
having a small faux-stylus makes ds emulation feel way more natural
What is /hhg/ handheld of the year?
>>12259040Souja Boy Flip
>>12258396For real for real, why use black bars of dysphoria when you can simply stretch the screen from 4:3 to widescreen and get almost twice the information, you can see the enemies approach you way before they get to you, unlike 4:3 where you see them when they are in front of you, when you stretch it you can see them earlier and adapt and program your sweet moves accordingly... this is easy to measure, just stretch your 4:3 game over a 19:7 widescreen and play Mario... when an enemy appears in the edge of the screen pause the game... now take a ruler and measure the distance from the enemy to you at the centre of the screen.... ok.. now do it with 4:3... measure the enemy distance again.... DO YOU SEE MEASURABLE KINO REALITY DAUGH?! you just hacked the games! I dunno if it is considered cheating, because developers never intended for you to have such foresight into the game stages like this, seeing enemies approaching you from a mile away...
>>1225904034xx >b-b-but-Glacier released in January.
>>12258592Again the hillbilly whitetrash chauvinist paycuck who thinks he is in an elite society for purchasing expensive stuff, but only if he treats people with cheaper devices like shit, because otherwise what difference does it make when they both sound the same... why do you pay more if you dont get "treating people like shit privileges".
I might be getting a R36s for Christmas, I'm excited.
