I think the Mangmi might edge out slightly, but only by merit of specs. I would still prefer the Pocket Air Mini because even though there’s far less power, it’s still great for retro games up to 2X Dreamcast with that 4:3 screen. GC and PS2 are out of the question, but there’s more powerful handhelds for that.

I found a 3gb Air Mini on Aliexpress which isn't ridiculously overpriced at $185 (Australian, so everything has an aussie tax of like 30-50%), which is only slightly more than a Mangmi (around $150AUD), so that was the comparison I was working off. I'd heard good things about the Mangmi, especially with GammaOS.

I've been trapped in this weird loop, where I start with something small like the RG35XXG but then I see that with just like 50 dollars more, i get something that could emulate more consoles, but then I see that if I add 50 dollars more, I could get something with OLED screen, and more processing power, and so on and so on, until I end up with a $500 or more cart, and I just remove it all at checkout.
I and I start over again the next day.

>>12284367
Same bro. It's a lack of clear purchasing focus. What EXACTLY do you want to do? Emulate up to PS1 with a 5" screen? Trimui Smart Pro. Want to play PS2 on the go? Retroid Mini v2.

Are there any Linux devices just a bit more powerful than the H700s? It seems to jump from $50 GBA knockoffs right to $100+ Androids. The only except seems to be the Arc but that's lacking joysticks that everything else seems to come with.

Anything that can run Rocknix is also Linux.
https://rocknix.org/
If you look on the left bar and go all the way to the bottom you can click through the things that are supported by it, the higher end stuff would be AYN, Aya Neo, and Retroid. I believe some of them force you to boot into Android before you can load into it though.

Trimui Smart Pro S
>>
>>12284510
too small for my hands
>>
>>12284402
After thinking for a while, I'm happy with just gb, gbc, gba, nes and snes.
I don't even need ps1 emulation
>>
>>12284623
PS1 emulation comes with anything that can do GBA or SNES really. Just grab an RG40XX-H or a TrimUI Smart Pro S. They're both in that $60-80ish range and will play the majority of what you want as long as you don't want N64 or Saturn. I believe the TSPS can do N64 and PSP now.

If you really truly do not care about PS1 then you can opt for a vertical like the RG35XX-SP or TrimUI Brick (Hammer), or the RG34XX if you are aiming more just for what you want in the horizontal space. All of them can play PS1 it's just that they don't have sticks.
>>
>>12284629
RG40XX-H looks like a good option
Time to watch a bunch of youtube videos about it
TrimUI Smart Pro S, is too big for me.
>>
>>12284643
RG40XX-H is smaller than it so there's that in that price range. You can go smaller with the RG35XX-H but as someone who owns one I personally wouldn't recommend it if you're planning on 1+ hour play sessions because the d-pad is pretty rough, ZL/ZR are kinda annoying to hit comfortably, and the ergonomics aren't great.
>>
>>12284648
Rg40xxH or Cube xx? I'm torn. I like the horizontal form factor but the cube is aesthetic as fuck and looks comfy
>>
>>12284618
>Trimui Smart Pro S
I just wish this was like, 15% better. 2gb of RAM at least. Then it'd be a total must have.
>>
>>12284675
Cube is better for GB, GBC, and I believe Game Gear if that's going to be your focus whereas the 40 is a better all-rounder.
>>
Is there something small that can run N64?

Makes me wanna buy a 476H while you can. That mofo got 8gb of ram. That'll be more rare than hens teeth in a year.

How does emulating DS and 3DS on a dual screen device compare to actually using a DS or 3DS?
>>
>>12285298
the only things ds / 3ds win over are the touch controls and battery, everything else is worse
>>
>>12285304
I'm surprised, I assumed touch controls would be the same or better on a new handheld. Is 3DS emulation perfect these days, any issues?
>>
>>12285312
not really, it'll still be the best way to emulate 3ds, the only gripe i have with mine is that it's kind of uncomfortable to play for a long time
>>
>>12285316
Any reason for this?
I own 2 actual 3dses and I've never had that issue
>>
>>12285316
I'm confused, what are we talking about exactly? I'm asking about dual screen emulation handhelds in general and how good they are compared to the original systems rather than any specific one. Basically I have a DS, and want to know whether I should get a flashcart or games for it, or whether to get a dual screen handheld that can do 3DS too.
>>
>>12285298
>DS
good but things like slight input lag and lack of resistive touch screens may outweigh the benefits like upressing 3D games for you

>3DS
look great but once again some slight input lag and also having to deal with shader stutters and currently imperfect emulation
>>
funnily enough, the best use case of my Thor so far has been to lie down in bed faceup with it held up by the covers and watching anime on the top screen since it's elevated lol

don't get tired arms or wrists since it's resting and having that extended screen means I can actually see it without bending my neck
>>
>>12285354
That's bad sleep hygiene
>>
>>12285321
The 3DS never had a comfortable design but it was small easy to reach all the buttons

The Thor still lacks any ergonomic curves since it's copying it but using the dpad for long periods is worse because the device is longer so your fingers have to stretch to reach the left triggers AND you have no real way to grip it effectively
>>
>>12285304
All the DS clones are also really heavy. The 2DS-XL and smaller DS consoles are much lighter and more comfortable.
>>
>>12285324
The DSi / DSi-XL are probably the best way to play DS games at the moment. Emulator handhelds are bad for touch-screen centric games.
>>
>>12285354
>AYN Thor is 380g

Yep, unusable. The 3DS-XL is 336g, which is already way too heavy for a handheld.
>>
Anyone with both 4/6 button layout classic? The buttons on the 6 feel way too small for me, so I was wondering if it's worth to trade it in for the 4 button one.
>>
>>12285381
Shame, I assumed at least DS would be alright. I can play them on my Miyoo Mini Plus but obviously it's a bit shit with one screen and they don't seem to run that well.
>>
https://youtu.be/DeGFRB0Mor8?si=TU8t57LtqStL58Z2&t=619

Russ said he preferred to play games that use the left stick instead of the dpad for the Thor.

He used to shill the Flip 2 a lot, now it's almost never mentioned. He shills the Thor because all reviewers do, because it's the only viable way to play dual screen games.
>>
>>12285471
you're probably right, I think "awkward" was the wrong word to use, as the flip 2 isn't really uncomfortable to use, especially with a grip it's comfy, it's just more so that screen folded out kinda makes it off balanced compared to how actual DS's are a lot more comfortable feeling because they're much lighter I think
>>
>>12285468
I have a Mangmi Air X now since the x28 died on me, it's about the same size but not as comfortable imo

Really? Any idea what died? I'm eyeing a RP5 out of stupidity and was hoping for comparisons.
>>
>>12285489
Not sure, it just stopped working one day, I'd guess it's just the typical Powkiddy quality control, since the day I got it one of the triggers was way too tight compared to the other, so I had to loosen it.
I've never owned a RP5 so maybe a different anon can help you with that.

After what felt like an hour of setting it up i finally got the v90 to perfectly play at least nes games.
I will never get why EVERY os has some crappy soft upscale filter as default, and this took so long to find them all and remove them too. Even had an audio filter of the same bullshitery, mono to sterio, srsly?

I am rewarded with good buttons, quick boot time and practically infinitive batteries since i have like 20 nokia batteries. Funny how clamshells dont feel like verticals at all too, this is just a tad better.

I still get a tad slowdowns on heavy sprite scenes tho, currently playing kirby.
And then i intend to binge game the entire NES library.

Low quality 4" 480p screens

Extremely stiff hinge

It absolutely matters which system you are wanting to play. Almost anything will play PSX or older, and most of those don't even need an analog stick, much less two.

I need you to make a short list of the JRPGs you want to play and figure out which system is the most demanding.

Also if you're only playing turn based with no time pressure, you can literally just put retroarch on your phone and use touch controls or use a bluetooth controller or connect a $10 usb-c hub to connect a USB controller.

there's a massive price jump between no ps2 and ps2, and even if you clear the jump you're stuck with android, or you have something big and clunky like steam deck
you have to ask yourself about form factor (horizontal, vertical, clamshell, etc) aspect ratio (4:3, 1:1, 16:9) what type of dpad you like etc
and then there's the availability factor too. by country availability varies

Willing to spend $150 on a handheld. Horizontal. Comfy. Nothing less than a 4" screen (5+ preferred). I'd like PS2 and Gc emulation if possible but I'm not expecting wizardry. Linux would be best but from research it seems that doesn't exist after $60.

Free me from my mental loop. Should I order an Ayn Thor or buy an OLED Steamdeck? In the end I worry I can't trust Ayn while I can trust Valve if there are issues. The Steamdeck plays more things but the Thor has a better screen. It feels like there are enough trade offs that neither is "perfect".

Not really. Most of the modern games I'd want to play are JRPGS from the Switch. Nothing as demanding as say Cyberpunk.
>Why are you comparing the Thor and the Deck? It would make more sense if you wanted an Odin 2 Portal or a Deck.
Because between the Odin 2 Portal and an AYN Thor I'd want the Thor for the second screen. If I was picking between the O2P and the OLED Steam Deck I assume I'd just grab the deck.
>>
>>12286541
Deck, unless you're really dead set on 3DS emulation with dual screens. Less hassle with the Deck and you can pretty much play anything including modern indie games. Deck also doesn't have a hinge to break on you.

Not only does it not run games perfectly in Drastic but Drastic is not "modern DS emulation". Modern DS emulation is Melon DS which it can't run anything on well at all. Let's also talk about how anything touch-screen-based is impossible to play due to the insane input lag and actual performance issues on top of said input lag.
>>
Did they fix most of the issues the 35XXsp had, like the buttons and battery?
Is it the best clamshell if I don't care about sticks?
>>
>>12286425
If the store has less than like 10 items sold on the listing and the item in question is not under $10 you're likely getting scammed.
If the store is called something like "StoreSeller867530980085" and they don't have at least a hundred sales of an item just ignore them. They're sometimes legit but typically not.
Anything that looks like an official product sold in the west is 98% a knockoff. Don't trust any of it.
If a seller is asking you to confirm you received your item despite it not arriving yet just so you can get a refund you are being scammed.
If you see stores like ANPOWN selling random systems and branding it as their own even though there's no change that's just them being a reseller of the system. The companies that make these systems like Anbernic sell their products to random storefronts and said storefronts make a minor profit on that.
Memory cards are a scam even at very low storage sizes.

>>12286708
It's like Amazon. See what I wrote for the above guy to make it easier for you. Local shipping just means you get it slightly faster due to the item being in a local warehouse. Generally local stuff has its item price raised because of that so it's only really worth it on cheaper items. Many items are also not sold locally at all because the factories cannot justify it. You'll see this with things like bags, screen protectors, thumbstick caps, etc.

>>12287126
>Did they fix most of the issues the 35XXsp had, like the buttons and battery?
Only if you get the revision. If you get the older colors you still have a chance to get the original stock with all the issues. If you want to guarantee fixes get the new colors. Buttons have foam now to dampen the sound, there's fish paper on the battery to deal with the thing touching the CPU, and the face buttons have the ring to prevent dome piercing. D-pad still gets pierced on the updated version, you still need to 3D print the washers and open up the system to prevent the d-pad domes from piercing.
>>
>>12287130
>D-pad still gets pierced on the updated version
Damn, what's the best alternative for a clamshell in the same capability?
The screen of the 34XXsp seems to be a bit too small.
>>
>>12287136
>what's the best alternative for a clamshell in the same capability?
I mean, the 35 is still the best option out of all of them just for how nice it feels and how its size really helps it out. It's not like it takes any effort at all to put those washers in there. You just unscrew the case, then the three in the mobo, slap four washers in the holes, and close it back up.
34SP is what you want if you want an accurate aspect ratio and proper integer scaling without having to deal with shaders. Its downside is it's slightly smaller and the sticks are unnecessary.

The Miyoo Flip is just a worse 34SP considering it has proven hinge problems.
The Miyoo Mini Flip is even smaller than the 34SP if I remember right and you have the same potential hinge problems.
>>

Not normal for me, but the PC was kept in another room for much of my early life (except when we first got the 386). I didn’t get a PC in my room until 96 or so. Even then, I kept the tv off. Nowadays I keep the TV off when I’m fucking about on my PC and it is in my bedroom (divorce-rape victim, hiding my assets while living in a cheap condo).

In the process of setting up Ayaneo Pocket Air Mini, I've got Retroarch running and I've set up L3 on analogue stick as my hotkey toggle.
E.g. I hold L3 and press X to open the Retroarch menu.

Retroarch 1.22.1 is installed but the menu seems buggy as fuck compared to Linux handhelds I've used before.
Sometimes after opening and then dismissing the Retroarch menu during gameplay, the hotkeys break forever and I can't get back into the menu short of closing Retroarch.
I've also had the Ozone GUI opacity reset to 0.00 after tinkering with shaders, where it should normally be 0.90.

There's also weird shit with this device like on boot, it automatically sets Screen Cast to itself, and this causes the device to rumble in sync with all audio output?
Dolphin has also been hit-and-miss because I get a lot of VK device lost errors without a clear reason; if it's because I'm using a gaming profile CPU/GPU overclock, or what exactly.

Anyone else with a Pocket Air Mini got pointers?
This is without going through ES-DE, which I also have installed but aren't using yet.

It's one of the reasons i just can't pull the trigger on the 476H despite on paper being a great machine for a good price. I don't want a phone pretending to be a console.
>>
>>12287354
There's also the Android OS clamping down on sideloading, and the Pocket Air Mini being stuck on Android 11 of all things.
Realistically it being an Android device means it may get the best possible GPU drivers, compared to a Linux distro.

At the very least I was able to resolve my Retroarch issue by doing a reinstall to 1.22.2 and fresh config, I avoided messing with the Retropad settings this time and just remapped controls on the core instead (because the device uses Nintendo button layout but detects with Xbox 360 layout).

Any RG477Mchads have these GetBetterButtons replacement shoulders? I've been holding out for a 477H, but we've gotten the 476H which is weaker, and a 477V which is vertical, and now I don't know if it's gonna happen. Plus if it did, not only would it most likely be cursed with the shit-ass all-glass front like everything else, but it would mostly likely have analog triggers too. So now I'm thinking it might just make more sense to bite on the 477M and get these instead, but who knows if they're any good?

Handhelds I want to buy that don't exist:

The Deck is too big. Give me something GPD-sized, but from Valve. It can be ARM or x86 so long as its small and supported.

I don't know why this doesn't exist yet. And no, the Smart Pro isn't it. I want a 4:3 screen and the same hardware for OS support (ideally NextUI).
>G Cloud 2
The G Cloud is light, ergonomic, and has a great battery. But the sticks and chipset are awful. It could be better than any premium Chinese handheld if Logitech cared to refresh it.

i went for the trimui because of linux and i don't care about anything past psp, from what i heard mangmi buttons and dpad suck too
>rocknix on mangmi
lol

Shart feels pointless with cooling for its performance and don't know if it's lacking 32bit libs for ports like the predecessor, heard bad things about Mangmi's buttons. Save up and buy something nicer.

What's a good cfw for the Smart Pro S? Getting consistent PSP performance?
>>
>>12289342
That's kinda my issue. Happy with up to consistent PSP performance, but I want at least a 5" screen. The 476H looks great but it's another $50-$60 and I'm not getting anything more (from what I want).

still waiting for mine to arrive but from videos i saw itll be able to do most of psp at x2, perfectly fine at native
for cfw atm stock is still best but nextui and knulli are being worked on for it and have alphas out, crossmix seems to be compatible too but still buggy

You might feel the back get slightly warm if you do N64 and shit but I'm not paid by brand M to oversell minor quibbles about their competitors so no, it's not an "issue", just a thing you might notice from time to time.

If it is, we're all gonna have to give up on chinkhelds in their entirety.

I'm still on my smartphone and tablet, thought of getting a dedicated device at a few points, but my devices work well enough so I can't really justify it... maybe in the future when I have more money to spare, right now things are not well.

RPG2 or wait for the RP6.
If you want a real pos buy a miyoo mini or rg35xx and pretend you play anything on it besides a hand cramp.
