I cannot get gamehub to launch anything on my tablet. Just hangs at 99%
i finally figured out the onion os hotkeys on my miyoo mini +
>>12276367Jewy gets shit views and has no subs and yet he is still somehow able to survive off Youtube income, it makes no sense
>>12276216>a man and his familyhis wife more than likely has a job which pays for the bills, plus do you really think any of these manchildren have kids to take care of? also >a fucking eneba ad
I'm fucking seething. You just know retroon fucked something up too
>>12276390>can chinkhelds handle 3DSNo. Ayn Thor is the closest but it's still bad.
>>12276420You'll survive. I got a package not moving since the 18th because of a fucking strike.
>>12276378It's not worth putting that much thought into it because it's probably just one of 3 situations>he won the lottery>he comes from a well off family thats willing to subsidize his lifestyle>or the realistic scenario of them all: he has a job and is just lying because he doesnt want people to know where he worksbecause even with ad reads, sponsorships, and creator coupons which give a bit of cash back to creators, you probably aren't living a stable lifestyle at Jewy's size. And the odds of AYN/Retroid sending him thousands to give their device a positive review is non-existent, it'd be easier to send him a free device and have him reel in dupes with a coupon that offers a bit of kickback.
>>12276436No chinkshit manufacturer will ever use stock resistive screens because no one ever mass produced them at suitably gaming resolutions besides Nintendo themselves.The question should've been "will chinkhelds ever handle DS/3DS games" and the answer is no. And I don't mean handling DS as "i'm running SMT4 at 120FPS with 8x scaling wdym poorfag hyuck hyuck", I mean it as try playing LostMagic on a capacitive screen and getting past half a dozen missions without throwing your shit at the wall
Im waiting for Steam Deck retard to post again and get a million replies again
>>12276420When did you order? I boughted on 29/11 and I'm afraid it's not going to even ship before spring break
So bros, I bought the Ayn Thor. I went with the base model because realistically, I'm only going to emulate Wii U at the most, I don't see a need for PC or Switch when I've already got a PC and Switch 2. Should I have coughed up the extra $50 for the pro or will 8GB be enough for what I need?
>>12276514>I bought the Ayn ThorWhy? That form factor is awful.
>>122765148gb is enough
>getting my roms to my new SD card.>takes 1 hour to copy everything.>get the card in the handheld>find out the roms are copied in another local HDD with the ROMS folder on it
>>12276420My RP5 ordered to Germany didn’t get through customs, because Retroid said it’s 50$ value, for a 300$+ order. They sent it back to china and I had to have them resend via 4PX instead of DHL, and finally got my package
>>12276530>he ordered chinkshit into the EU through EU based company and expected thieving, child raping, chinese hating EU bureaucRats to not interfereDHL has been a joke for decades.
>>12276321why did redditors have to destroy this?
>>12276321Do some people actually compulsively buy every retro chink-model they can get while barely clocking in ~5 hour of gameplay and getting past the title screen on Pokemon or some shit? I only make mention of this observation because I'm being diligent/doing my research on replacing my broken chinkshit after hardcore playing romhacks and doing time trials and shit and I keep seeing recurring comments/posts of people buying 3 of these for muh nostalgia and showing some screencap of route 4 of Pokemon. Why would anyone need more than 1 gadget? And it's not even me being a coping poor I'm practically half-retired at this point.
>>12276598Cool Pepe, mind if I save it?
I can't wait bros
>>12276598for some people the shopping is half the hobby
>>12276598Whales are the ones that make possible all this chinkshit ecosystem I can't complain.
>>12276598>Why would anyone need more than 1 gadget?because getting your "be all end all" device as your first purchase is statistically impossibleI got like 5 handhelds before settling on an RP5 and I'm getting a 12GB RP6 more for the increased storage than anything
>>12276420>I'm fucking seething.Honestly nothing to worry about yet.If it makes you feel better, pic related was $6k of server hardware. It was in a delayed status for two weeks, then they opened an investigation, and now I'm trying to get a refund. It was mostly flash memory, so I'm fairly certain it was stolen.
>>12276598RG40V for the GBC form factor.RG34H for the GBA form factor.RP5 for everything else.Waiting for a Flip 3 for the single screen clamshell.Waiting for a non-niggerized RG DS 2 for the dual screen clamshell. I don't want dual screens for anything other than DS/3DS.No, I'm not giving money to Nintendo. Gas the plumber every day.
>>12276616>because getting your "be all end all" device as your first purchase is statistically impossibleRight, I suppose a better question would be: you guys ARE actually gaming on these shits, right?
>>12276598>Why would anyone need more than 1 gadget?You can realistically make an argument for having two or three if this is your hobby, especially if you sync saves between them. It's nice to have something small and cheap you can take with you, but also a fancy powerful one for using at home.But yes, the people with a dozen or two of these are ill.
>>12276604I really want this to be successful, but I'm having a hard time imagining using one as my actual phone. Hopefully it sells well and other manufacturers make a version now that the patents have expired.
>>12276625no, I bought my Miyoo Mini so I could take photos at the beach with it
I love me a comfy chinkshit thread
>>12276598>Why would anyone need more than 1 gadget?Because of the form factor or capabilities. I've already cleared at least three games on each of the systems I own and put a minimum of 100ish hours into each one.I currently own>RG35XX-H.Bought this as my first one to dip my toes into it. It's primarily a PS1 machine but I'm considering NES on it.>RG35XX-SP.Bought this because SP nostalgia. I still occasionally use it for GBA stuff but not as much.>RG34XX.Bought this entirely because it was a 1:1 GBA and that's exactly what I wanted. I use it exclusively for GBA stuff and will not use it for anything else.I just bought a TrimUI Brick Hammer a week or so back which will be exclusively for GB and GBC games, maybe NES and SNES.Emulating on PC just sucks if it's not a home console, I really don't like how it looks or feels and having these handhelds feels so much better and feels way easier to commit to playing games on them by comparison since they're compact, you don't have a gigantic screen, and you're not constrained.
>pocket air mini scheduled to arrive the day I go back to work after a FOUR (4) week vacationFuck indiegogo's bullshit process
>why more than one gadgetBecause I dropped my only chinkheld a total of 20cm onto a semi-soft surface and screen got fucked because like all chinkhelds it was made as cheaply as possible and couldn't even survive a minor bump. You need redundancy when dealing with low quality.
Is there a way to move data between two android devices, for example cloning apps with configs between RP5 and RP6? I don't mean roms - the only thing keeping me from getting a better android device is the thought that I'll inevitably want to setup RetroArch with ES-DE and fuck me I probably spent more time setting it up than actually playing anything on the device.
Frontend yes or nah? and why?
>>12276336>android Loling at you
>>12276713Yes. It allows you to organize everything neatly with visuals and offers you more options than just barebones UI solutions or just loading up the emulators standalone.
can I emulate VirtualBoy in a Meta Quest?
>>12276713How would I launch ROMs without a front end? Do you expect me to connect a keyboard to my chinkheld and launch them with bash?
>>12276721open emu, load file, duh.if anything, it is frontends what do a bash/esque launch by passing the rom file as an argument (or intent in android)
>>12276721>>12276716Android*
>>12276726If I had an android handheld I would only ever use the frontend to keep up the illusion I'm not using android.
>>12276713I have no idea why you wouldn't use one when it's so easy.
>>12276684Would like to know too
Anbernig shits on every lagdroid overpriced shit
>>12276805Anbernig mostly makes android chinkhelds these days
>>12276514You only need more than 8GB if you want to do PC emulation.
>>12276684Do those apps let you export settings?
>>12276805they make android devices retard
>>12276806All the ones I see are Linux based
>>12276625I just finished Megaman Battle Network 6 on my RG35XXH.
>>12276856>>12276806And nobody buys thoseRg35xx variations is all you need
150 dollar RP5 ANY DAY NOWor maybe I'll get a good job and just buy the G2 and stop trying to be frugalboth of these are unlikely
>>12276604On one hand the slide action PSPGO format is fantastic for a chronic commuter like me On the other I do not want to pay 600 dollars for this
>>12276514>buy something>start doubting if did the right choice instead of doing a proper research before purchasing shitIf you can't cancel your order when realizing that you fucked up, you'll have more peace of mind not asking.
>>12276882477 is very popular
RG35XXH would be good if it was 30 dollars
>>12276898It’s good at any price because that’s all you ever need
>>12276909screen too small for PSP, too weak for PS2/GC/Wii, incorrect
>>12276512i buyed a etroon mini
>>12276883Prices are oniy going up.If they're smart, they'll discontinue the RP5 and harvest memory chips from old stock for RP6/G2 models.
>>12276915SHUT UP DELETE THIS SHIT NOW
>>12276912The Dimensity 8300 is by no means too weak for PS2/GC. It blows past the Snapdragon 865 in terms of performance, and since you're using a 960p screen its an easy 2x upscale. The only problems you'll run into are games like Drakengard 1 or Shadow the Hedgehog that have issues regardless of whether you're using a Snapdragon or Mali chipset.
>>12276912What about platforms with good games?
>>12276909It's just an inferior version of the rg353m>>12276920You're taking about a completly different handheld
>>12276920But it uses the H700 not the 8300
>>12276915WHY DIDNT I FUARKIN BUY WHEN THEY WERE 170 IN DECEMBER (because of the 50 dollar off coupons)frankly I am not going to spend over 200 dollars for these
>>12276514Sex with sue
>>12276929
The hype is real for retroid pocket 6
>>12276519Exactly. Why is this thing popular? Ugly. Heavy. Who wants to play single screen games on a dual screen? Okay you can play DS and 3DS. Who cares? They are just two out of the 40 or so I want to emulate. The Thor has a niche I'm just surprised it got so popular.
>>12277018It's popular because DS and 3DS games and consoles are scalped to hell. A new 3DS costs like 200 bucks in good condition and that's for a japanese version. Most games are in the 50-150 dollars range.It's retarded and emulation on one screen always felt lacking.
>>12276506ok but at least we have wacoms and shit
>>12276713Best front end to slap on my rp6 when I get my greasy little mitts on it?
>>12277043android 13
I keep looking at these high end chinkhelds to see which can play PS2/Gamecube better but I don't even really wanna play anything past MD/SNES/GBA and pretty much any device can do that with zero issues
>>12276925>It's just an inferior version of the rg353myou mean better. Plastic > metal.
>>12277028>DS scalpedNope, DSi are quite affordable. It's only the 3DS that are expensive.
>plan to use my Thor for old games and brainrotting anime and youtube>the dpad is in a dogshit spot if you need to hit the left shoulder buttonsWHY DID THEY DO THIS
>>12276713https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kR2ENnP19LUNo frontends if you actually want to play games
Alright you autistic fucks. Help a brother out.I want something that'll play up to and including 5th Gen (practically) flawlessly. I missed out on SNES/PS1 when I was growing up so those are key consoles I'm trying to get into, especially stuff like King's Field, Mother/Earthbound, FF Tactics, Castlevania,Silent Hill, Metroid, Chrono Trigger etc.Anything PS2 and up I'll wait for the SteamCube and just emulate on that.Preference is Linux cause I'm a cheapskate (but I'll accept dual-booting if the unit is good enough). Horizontal preferred too. Sub $100USD.So far I've found;>RG40XXH>RG353M>RG353P/PS>Trimui Smart Pro S>PowKiddy RGB10MAX3 ProAny experience with these? Any dogshit I have to avoid?Ta' in advance. I hope I don't start a flamewar.
>>12276604I'm glad someone is finally trying this form factor again, but I'm not buying anything with an LCD. Hopefully this will set a trend. I really want one with OLED screen, analog triggers, and slidepads instead of trackpads.
>>12277120because that what redditors prefer
>>12277148Only the smart pro s will play n64 flawlessly, but I'd recommended getting a mangmi or pocket air mini instead
anyone know a good base for an rp5? I'd ideally want hdmi out and usb for some controllers. The official one is a piece of shit that can't maintain hdmi out without it going black every 5 seconds despite me trying it with several power inputs with different wattages
>>12277170>mangmi or pocket air miniI like the look of the Mangmi - how does it go booting in Linux though?I thought the Air Mini had no support for Linux as well, at least, none I could find.
>>12277178I don't think it can sadly, the smart pro is probably your only option for full 5th gen compatibility, besides saturn, on a linux handheld under 100 bucks rnIt's brand new though and not many reviews are out so I can't say if it's good or not but the og smart pro and brick are good
The Thor looks pretty cool. What do you guys think?
>AYANEO Pocket DS>It's obviously meant to play DS/3DS games>It uses the BAYX button layout instead of ABXYBut why?
>>12276882>Linux foo's this delusionalTheir android chinkhelds are very popular ya quack. Also,>Hrt700Nigga got NOTHING on bVASED 3326. If you're gonna go weak, go with what just werks. >>12277260The ayaneo president had a rough life. The phone uses the xperia play touchpads, but they also click like l3 r3
>>12277184Looks like GammaOS runs fine on the Mangmi, which is better than stock Android at least.
>>12277126>Russ makes videos about his faggot trips and reviewing fucking grips>Techdweeb's reironiclly making top 5 chinkheld videos>Jewy uploads this. Despite most people gayman on android not bothering with that shit in the first place.Do these people have slow days, or does reviewing chinkhelds as a hobby cook your brain?
Explain why you haven't bough the best handheld ever created
>>12277338There's no point in waiting. They've discontinued making the LCD, and they've announced a Steam Deck 2 but it's in development and probably wont' be out until 27 or 28.
>>12277338they won't announce a new version for at least another two years. valve already said they wouldn't make another until they can get a generation performance upgrade.
give it to me straightI don't need the fanciest latest onewhat's the best budget option for playing Dreamcast, Saturn and Gamecube games?
>>12277080Not only is the metal case better for durability but the chip is also faster and it has 2x the ram
>>12277381forgot to mentionI'd like to connect to a TV via HDMI if possible and use Bluetooth controllers sometimes
>>12277334I already own it and it ain't that laptop
>>12277381I'd get an RG-476H.
>>12277381Pocket Air Mini or RG476H
>>12277381time travel and get a RP2S
>>12277334I personally never undock this but I love having a dedicated emu device I don't actually play any steam games on it
>>12277425>>12277432>160 + shipping for the RG476at that price point isn't the RP5 better?
>>12277334>xboxhueg>handheld
>>122774974:3 4.7inch
>>12277126ok... im gonna take a guess and say the iiSU debacle somehow 'broke' him... but how?
>>12276509hey, your waiting paid off! >>12277334
>>12276519I like the flippy form factor. But I'd probably buy a RP Flip 2 since I don't need two screens.
iiSU is so shit
Canceled my rp6 pre-order for an Odin 3 because the shell is so shitty
>>12276713Linux yes, Android no.
>>12277126he doesn't want to waste time setting one up but then takes 3 times as long just opening each emulator and then getting into a game.. is he retarded?
>>12277612>because the shell is so shittyhow so?
>>12277636
>>12277614>Android no.Why not?
>>12277381just do RP5 or something
>>12277667people say the 5 was a step down but holy shit that looks abysmal
I think an upsized RG34XX (about PSP size, maybe using the Pocket ACE display?) with a better chip and sticks would be a really great device.
>>12277701>I think an upsized RG34XXRG40xxH but with a decent d-pad, slightly larger battery, and running RK3566 instead of H700 would be best.
>>12276321Purple edition bes edition, simple as.
>>12277667>>12277714Looks like the cheapest thinnest shit
>>12277682It already has a launcher designed for a handheld device.
>>12277747If not mong, no issue. Although, how long will it hold up, is different. If broken after a few weeks of usage, into the trash it goes. >inb4 copium
was hoping the RP6 would be godlike so I can finally get a cheap RP5
So much shilling on social media recently for that AYN Thor>Look it up>More expansive than a 3DSWhy would you do that.
>>12276883You might as well have gotten an rp6 More than double the performance of the rp5 and only like 30% more. Good numbers if you're a cheap jew
>>12277832>cheap RP5Retroon historically discontinue models after a black friday discount on release years
>>12277878reddits favorite handheld. personally i bought the rg ds
I'll never understand why people buy these devices that won't last as long as big names. My GBC, GBA, GBASP, PSP and 3DSXL are in still perfect condition after thousands of hours, but chinkhelds break after what, 5 years tops?Mods exist for official consoles if the screen or buttons is a problem.
>>12277947>chinkhelds break after what, 5 years tops?how do you know
>>12277947There are already people with cracked hinges on their AYN Thor kek.My New3DSXL hinges are still fucking perfect.
>>12277947all my 3 PSPs stopped working
>>12277978Without the soul too. Capacative touchscreens suck for DS/3DS games as they were designed for resistive touchscreens in mind. Playing trauma center on a phone/chinkheld is fucking shit in the later levels.
fucking ching chongs. What are they doing with my package?
>12277978why is the chatbot randomly copying and pasting excerpts from previous posts nowam I the only human in this thread
>>12277961From real life and internet testimonials. Had a colleague buy a Powkiddy V90s and it stopped working 1 week later. He opened it and the problem was a component was not properly soldered.But hey, feel free to point me to a chinkheld that held up for 20+ years.>>12277968Shit, didn't even know. Link?>>12277982PSPs don't just stop working out of nowhere if you take care of them, unless you fucked around with the system, like my 2 PS2s that won't boot anymore after fucking around with FreeHDboot.I just wish there was a good quality and good looking device like the Analogue Pocket but that played more platforms and didn't cost a kidney. Everything else I see has an inferior screen, toy like design, colored buttons, cheap plastic or glass fingerprint magnet front, analog tumors and transparent black version.
>>12278152>Shit, didn't even know. Link?https://www.reddit.com/r/SBCGaming/comments/1oyzx49/ayn_thor_hingegate_ayn_starts_replacing_cracked/
>>12278152>But hey, feel free to point me to a chinkheld that held up for 20+ years.the gameboy gba etc was made in china
>>12278161With durable materials.
>>12278162you should have argued the engineering or something. (even though it's the same chinks assembling it)the materials are the same brothey probably had better qc back then and testing for defects. seems now they rush the chinkhelds out to the buyers without performing qc. but the ones that aren't defective seems like they last. it's only been a few years so we cant know yet
>>12277986RIP dude. Expect it to hang in Nang for 2-3 weeks

if I want to buy a new 3ds (non xl)would ebay be the same as buying from a jap site?japanese 3ds seem to be a bit cheaper and I have access to a japanese address for receiving stuffmainly for price,
>>12277260I never understood this complaint.You know you're playing a Nintendo console, how do you not understand what "Press A" means? Do you have to look down at the controller every time you're asked to press a button?
Why are you guys obsessed with the linux system?For retro gaming, the latency is the same as android.For modern stuff like switch, the emulators are not even good yet, so nothing would compare to original hardware for now.Anbernic knows this, and decided to just make android systems from now on.Why can't you get it?
>>12278293>For retro gaming, the latency is the same as android.>he fell for the "it feels the same to me" copium from redditors and nons
>new Russ video>TrimUI Smart Pro S>it's trash>mentions Mangmi Air X is better for same price>check the black color>orange accents, transparent around analog sticks for gayGB and bing bing wahoo colors on buttons>it is therefore trash>Russ clearly sucks dick and smokes potJesus fuck, is it that hard to make a fucking decent handheld that is all matte black?
>>12278296Both oscilate under 50ms latency.There is no difference between android and linux.
>>12278303>Both oscilate under 50ms latency.Proof? >There is no difference between android and linux.Except android has 90 different bloated background processes all running at once that you can't stop and linux is just the game
All I want for Christmas is for Analogue to fucking restock.
>>12278298the rg40xxh black color is nice but sadly also has the rgb stick garbage
>>12278308>android has 90 different bloated backgroundThat's for phones not handhelds, it's the same, but you can make the measurements yourself instead of believing the "linux feels better for me" meme.
>>12278298>Russ clearly sucks dick and smokes potI can't watch that cocksucker anymore after what he did to the rg ds.
>>12278313>That's for phones not handhelds,meds>it's the same, but you can make the measurements yoyou cant make the measurements unless you have thousands of dollars of equipment
>>12278293GNU has great switch , PS3 and x86_64 emulation, you dont know what your talking about.but to awnser your original question I like GNU over android is because the android based OSs feel like a phone and the GNU Linux based ones feel like a console .
I already have a phone. I don't want another phone, I want a game console. The entire reason for the glass front meme is to make your console feel more like a phone, which is maddening.
>>12278298>new Russ video These ads are too much
>>12278314i'm out of the loopwhat did he do to the rg dsI haven't watched any of his videos since he started uploading pretty much twice a weekpadding content just for ad money
>>12277986mine is there too, they are probably waiting to fill the shipping container
Is there something like the RG35XX H but with an oled screen?
>>12276713I recently set up RetroDeck on SteamDeck. Quite liking it. Fiddled around with EmuDeck before, but I found it to be really janky and unreliable at times, especially the Patreon-only cloud service.I also really recommend RetroArch, I've been using it for years. One frontend for everything is absolutely worth it if you want to emulate lots of consoles regularly.
RP6 looks like cheap chinked dogshit
Biggest improvement of TSPS is that it actually supports usb c charging
>>12278249Because muscle memory for the A button is the right-most button, not the bottom button. You might as well ask what could possibly go wrong if you switch the pedals for gas and brake in your car. Surely you know which one is which without looking, don't you?
>>12278378>what did he do to the rg dshe reviewed it and said it wasn't worth buyinganbernigs couldn't handle it
Why can't chinese manufacturers add a wireless charging module, it's not expensive.
>>12278429LmaoIt's a clam shell that can't run 3ds games, what's the point then?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTuDXyZBCQoThe Onexsugar team is full of fascinating mad men.
>>12278424You're (hopefully) acting like a retard.Unless you really do need to look down every time you press a button, it doesn't matter what symbol is printed on the buttons. You're the one mapping your controls. If the console you're emulating uses the Nintendo layout, put A on the right where it belongs.How is this a real problem for people?
>>12277236It's an all rounder that does everything, if you don't mind the lag on 32/64 bit console emulators.Great for brain rotting, but doesn't look too sturdy, the chipset is very well known, so compatibility won't be an issue with lots of emulators, and a linux os distro for it isn't too farfetched, but don't expect great improvement in performance anyway, I think it's cool, but I'd rather wait for a thor 2, with a better cpu, by then latency would have some improvements hopefully.
Are any chinkhelds with HDMI out hotpluggable? I think Linux-based ones weren’t but what about Android?
>>12277148I got 3 that all do what you want the rg40xxV for all 2D and 4:3 ps1 or anything of that gen, the portmaster versions of n64 are great if they dont want to work native. bro swears by his rg35xxsp clam for the same, a 34xx for gba because its 1 to 1 replica and thats nice, and a trim ui pro, the old one not the s for widescreen ps1 and some psp, i guess the s would be the choice though I'm waiting for a good 1:1 psp replica at a decent price. the pow kiddy was too toy like felt like some fisher price.
I decided to buy a 3ds, I don't think there's anything better at the moment.
>>12278482Very easy to mod, very comfy
>>12278482any $20 chinkshit is better than the 3dsthe ps1 library alone absolutely mogs itnds is redeemable but games kind of look like shit on 3ds
Is flycast the best option for dreamcast? On both Linux and Android?

Can't I just install linux on pretty much any chinkheld that's strong enough?I don't see why factory os is important in recent times.

>>12278581Are you also going to write your own drivers?
>>1227858199% of the time a chinkhelds doesn't have GNU is because android is the only option with drivers
Should I get the Thor? Thinking of the "pro" model with 12gb ram and 256gb storage. Have any of you had it since launch? How is it holding up? I can't trust reddit consoomers or shilltubers.
reminder to buy out of production chinkhelds before they run out.
>>12278605This is why Anbernic keeps reusing their chipsets. They only have to write the software once.
>>12278621They need a horizontal Brick to replace the joy that is the TrimUI Smart
>>12278443>You're the one mapping your controls.The fact that I'd need to remap the buttons in the first place is the problem. Literally why swap the button layout for a console they know is going to be used for DS games. What other popular console uses dual screens?
>>12277616Yes, but he's also a grifter and a ragebaiter.
>>12278612>Should I get the Thor?For what? get the rg ds bro
>>12278634>I'd need to remap the buttons in the first placeOh, you're not acting.If the emulator supports auto mapping, it's either going to read the controls as an Xbox controller and map them correctly anyway, or it won't do anything. The symbols printed on the buttons doesn't mean anything.
>>12278629The TrimUI Smart Pro would have been perfect if it went for 4:3 instead of 16:9. Cloning the PSP is idiotic if you can't even run those games.
>>12278651>minor spelling mistakeowari da
>>12278653I agree, I thought I had seen renders of a 4:3 Smart Pro but instead we got Smart Pro 2: Electric Boogaloo
>>12278621Too big
>>12278653redditors prefer 16:9 with black bars. more cinematic.
>>12278621Should have done this while the RGNano was still cheap . Perfect for gifting
This might not count as news to some, but powkiddy is STILL alive.>>12278653There was going to be a 4:3 version, but there's no demand from the engineers. >>12278684*Chinks. Not only are there more widescreens for them to pick from, chinks had to live with underpowered widescreen handhelds that stretched gba and snes to fullscreen for the longest time. It's hard for them to drop even when it's linux.
>>12278653It's strange too because Anbernic and Ayaneo have their hands on 4.7" and 4.2" 960p screens respectively, so other chinese manufacturers should also be able to get their hands on them in theory.
>>12278702TrimUI is a smaller company than Anbernig and Ayaneo.
>>12278697>powkiddy is STILL aliveproof?
Trimui smart pro would be good if it had 2gb of ram
>>12278707They're acutally smaller than miyoo but get around by having powkiddy sell their stuff. All three have a close relationship with each other.

It also will not charge unless the charger is at certain angles.>A relative's 3000 stopped reading UMDs after about a year of owning it and now it clicks whenever you put a UMD in it.>My OG 3DS stopped working after around two years for zero reason at all. It was never once dropped and I had to send it into Nintendo to get it fixed at which point it came back with juice in the internals and on the battery and they tried fighting me about it (I had never spilled anything on it, they sent me one with juice pre-dried on the thing so I knew it wasn't mine).>My DS Phat and DS Lite both had the plastic around the hinges crumble off. I literally had the DS Lite's entire LED section pop off in my hands when I went to open my screen. My DS Phat also gained dead pixels after about three years of ownership.>My childhood SP stopped charging after four or so years of owning it and when I recently went to try and fix it the diode near the port just fell off of it on top of the port being dead. Now I have an SP that is 100% dead and I have no idea how to fix it at all without taking it to a repair shop or investing hundreds into a proper soldering setup.>Two separate SNESes I have owned since childhood that have only been used normally with no damage to them both stopped being able to be powered on at all.>My original PS1 (The fat one) stopped reading discs after about two or three years of owning it. One day we powered it on and it stopped reading anything. Had to buy the PSOne which itself got disc read errors after a few years.

>>12278714you don't need more than 1gb of ram for emulation on linux.lagdroid drinks ram like lemonade.
>>12278293>Why are you guys obsessed with the linux system?Because the emulators are objectively better due to being native nightlies and not random ports that typically have their own unique issues on top of not being updated like the nightlies at all, there is less overhead, there are far more things you can do with Linux customization-wise, you have better performance because it's not bogged down by Android, it's not forcing you into absolutely awful smartphone menus, etc.Android is a last resort and genuinely awful for emulation, Linux is the best option but barely anyone uses it because it means having to put in effort into their OS instead of just half-assing a frontend and calling it a day.
>>12278740even worse, they removed one speaker and now it's mono.you can get around not having headphone jack by using an usb-c adapter (i think, it works on trimui model s) but there is no workaround for having a mono speaker.
>>122787412gb is very useful in port master
>>12278741Knulli eats more ram than 1gb ram android devices. Worse troonnix firmware compared to plain trimui stock unless you care about gayulationstation>>12278751That's why the x55 is the best portmaster machine with its trusty 3566. The shart pro s could have dethroned it, but powchaddy always wins.

>>12277148If you don't care about Saturn or N64, I can 100% vouch for the RG353P. I own one myself and it runs PS1 pretty flawlessly. The only times I've ever had trouble with it were with some PS1 games where, after I had quit and loaded the auto-state-save they would freeze on the next loading screen (but you can reset the "console" like normal to fix it). That is a non-issue if you don't use "save-on-quit". I've played all of the games in your list and they all work perfectly. I'm using JELOS and the default emulators on retroarch.

Maybe it's cause I'm old but I can't do 3.5" screens. 4" seems to be the minimum. Is there anything apart from the RG40xxV which fits the bill (that isnt like, $100)?
>>12278813Personally, yes. I can't go back.
>>12279362there's some R36 clones with 4" or more screens, like the R43S, R40XX, R46H etc. Cheap as shit, probably with quality to match though
>>12279036i'm convinced ayaneo is a money laundering front.they keep pumping expensive handhelds that nobody buys.
Why the fuck does screenscraper never work properly?
>>12279383>Cheap as shit, probably with quality to match thoughYeah that was my fear. I actually really like the look of the RG40xxV/H, but I've heard the face buttons, especially the d-pad, are fucking awful. Get what you get for $50 I guess.

Is the Anbernic RG-476H the best handheld if I'm looking for a sub 200 USD Horizontal Sony Machine with video out and bluetooth for controllers? I have a Vita but I hate how it doesn't have R2/L2 buttons.
any of you faggots got dat 477V yet?
>>12279504We don't actually own any handhelds, we just complaint about hem.
>>12279223i had a q90 and i think miyoocfw 1.3 was the latest at the time. i modified it to launch simple menu by default and made some other tweaks.it was very nice but sold it to a cousin to grab an rg300x.i still have a custom image i made before selling it.i can upload it if you want to try it.>>12279207never seen a v90 in person, but i remember the q90 stereo speakers sounding great and loud. despite the speakers firing back.

How long does shipping take for anbernig consoles? I got a tracking number but I have no idea what the estimated arrival date is
>>12279036The D-pad on the RG40XXV isn't that bad. I don't know if I'd call it the best D-pad ever but it's good, face buttons are fine too though they are a bit stiff to push in. Only thing is that it makes you wish it had a better panel, wonder when Anbernic will ever do a refresh of their linux line up but with the screens from the RG406 devices.
can someone with a H700 device (prefereably rg355xh with knulli) tell me how hot their shit is getting? I know the sensors aren't accurate but my shit is reading 50 celsius under light gaming. or does it not matter because sensor accuracy is varies from device to device. would love to know what others are reading
>>12279537The G2 is in a different price bracket it can't kill it
>>12279609How is 50 celsius a problemShit can go close to 100 without issues
Hell yeah bruddahsThe box states MediaTek MT8185V instead of G90TAre they the same but just a different name?
>>12279641more just holding the device brother. shit is fucking hot
>>12279609Unless you touch the screen you won't feel heat at all on the RG35XX-H and even then I have to touch I think it's either the top-right or bottom-right of the screen for multiple seconds to even feel a slight warm feeling.
>>12279641>>12279651Battery heat is a bigger concern.If the battery temp goes above 45 celsius it begins to degrade fast.

Just got my DSi. Honestly it's a bit underwhelming. The D-pad is comically small (what were they thinking?) and while the games definitely look and play better than on 3DS, they still look pretty bad in comparison to emulation. The dimensions of the console are very similar to the RG-35XXH, but the latter is infinitely more comfortable to use. This form factor is definitely superior to the larger models, though. The DSi is far more comfortable than my 3DSXL (which also has a comically small d-pad). The decision to make all the chink clones take after the XL models is quite odd.
>>12279717>The D-pad is comically small (what were they thinking?)look at the switch """"""dpad""""they sell that for 80 dollarsgenuine grift

Is there something like the RG35XX H but from this year?
>>12279834I've had it for over a year and it's just one of those things I cant remember it being that bad idk. maybe it was always like this just didnt care that much since it was new.>>12279837yeah see I have a old 3ds and that doesnt get that warm
>>12279869Why does it have to be from this year? 35XX is still perfectly good
>>12279884Because recent is better, I think, If there isn't I'll buy the old one.
When emulators ask about internal resolution scaling, is the multiplier applied to both dimensions or is it the number of pixels?i.e. is 2x scaling for PS1 games 1280x960 or (640x480)*2?

>>12279837Liar.
>>12279887>Because recent is better, I thinkNot exactly. People are still buying the R36Gs and those are years old at this point where the only real existing versions are now bootlegs of that system rather than the original.Realistically you'd be better off with the RG40XX-H since it addressed issues the 35XX-H had ergonomically and control-wise.
>>12280021>RG40XX-H since it addressed issues the 35XX-H had ergonomically and control-wise.What about the d-pad issues? Have they fixed/changed the contacts?
>>12280031What d-pad issue? That it can do false diagonals? I believe that was fixed with the 40-H. The main issue with the d-pad on the 35-H was that it's hard as a rock and sucks ass to use for long play sessions (As in, longer than an hour). I can actively feel my thumb hurting when I use it unlike my 35-SP or 34XX.The only other issues the 35-H had were the awful ergonomics which the 40-H addressed by making it more Vita-esque and the sticks being a pseudo d-pad rather than proper analog sticks which I believe the 40-H also fixed.

>>12280471I hate to say it but if you didn’t grab a used 3DS variant for cheap from 2011- early 2019, you were probably never going to. You had a very limited window of time from when zoomies were selling their 3DSes to pay for the Switch 1, and prices were permanently fucked from then on because gaming is too trendy and chic. The only solace is that maybe with DS Android clones the prices might eventually come back down, but probably not by that much because gaming is full of people treating it as an “investment”.

>>12280580>Portmaster is staunchly anti stock OS for several reasons,Care to elaborate? I am honestly curious.
>>12280904Some manufacturer (Anbernig if memory serves) released their stock os with Portmaster preconfigured with a bunch of pirated games, notably Shredder's RevengeSo they did some moral grandstanding (really covering their butts against lawsuits) and stated they would not support any PM build shipped with stock OSs because piracy bad
Should I get a Thor or an Odin 2 or 3 with pic related?
Should I?
>>12280904What anon said is right, Anbernic started advertising these ports while bypassing Portmaster with the the whole legal prefacing and the proprietary files bundled, so they went nuclear. Portmaster people got the youtube shills to tell their anbernic contacts they were retarded and they backed off shortly afterwards, but then Powkiddy did it too and no one cared. Additionally, stock OS are often abandoned and poorly set up, so no point supporting them.
>>12280475Can't tell you, never tried it, sorry.
