>>122835503 Years Later... Wall-E (pictured) is still.. **My Favorite Handheld Ever!**I am enjoying the RG34XXSP a lot, the screen is incredibly vivid, colours look amazing, but the RG280V... I simply adore this little bugger!
>>12283571at least it has proper inline shoulders and not nigger stacked massive fuckhueg shoulders for retarded mouthbreathing niglets

>>12283571the screen on the 34xxsp is really good but i wish it was a bit bigger or 4:3 instead
RG40xxH or Trimui Smart Pro? They're basically the same price, obvs larger screen on the Trimui. What's the real difference in power/use?
>>12283642Nig40xxh better sticks and portmaster.Shartui better dpad and I just plain like how gba games look on it. Get the nig
>me
>>12283642For what those things can play I'd rather have the 4:3 aspect ratio.

See, this is a valid reason to hate stacked shoulder buttons. It's harder to fit then in your asshole.
>>12283742Aye, but they you get the inline ones that are bumpy. There needs to be avoid anal prolapse

BROS MY POCKET AIR MINI CAME IN
>>12283897That is what she said
>>12283924how can one post contain so much reddit?
>>12283929> rent free
Fuck off loser we’re shoving handhelds up our assholes.
I want PS2 performance at the cheapest price possible.
>>12283958rg476h or 406h
>>12283932i responded to a post you madedo you just parrot phrases you don't understand to try and fit in?
>>12283683I 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.
>>12284032the pocket air mini is more powerful, wtf are you talking about
>>12284016I am just pointing out Reddit lives in your head rent-free. I hate Reddit for being a Troon Fascist Dystopia. I just pointed out you seem very invested in Reddit, do not get me wrong. No harm meant. > Le Fit-In Meme> Being In Highschool> Current Year> ISSHIGGIDY.sh
>>12284039Wait, is it more powerful? Mario Sunshine ran okay at 1x, mostly stable 30fps occasional with drops, but something like Crystal Chronicles had a godawful framerate on the pocket air mini during its real time intro cutscene.
>>12284069>act like a redditor>get called reddityeah, I'm not seeing the problem herestop acting like a redditor if it bothers you so much
>>12284118Get real and get a Simply Fantastic 2K (SF2000)No margin for "trying", go for the best. >>12284171Ok buddy. I stand corrected. I've been told.
>>122836801/8 of the nano rg
>>12284118yes, it has a better chip, the mangmi has more ram though, from what I've seen the pocket air performs better
>>12283694>>12284032I 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.
>>12283961Thanks anonlooka like it will be the 406h, I like the layout more and it comes in a translucent case. I just wish it wasn't android.
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.help
>>12284367Same 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. Just gotta figure out why you want one of these gizmos
>>12283680Steam Deck
>>12284338You probably can’t go wrong with any device. As long as you’re buying from a reputable seller on AliExpress then either one will be a good budget device, just go with what works for your budget.
pocket air mini bros how we doin?
Why don't you own the best handheld ever created?
>>12284510Cause I don't have $1000 and I'm waiting on the GabeCube.
>>12284484If it's Choice does that mean it's reputable?
>>12284510>16:10 so only good for modern slop>requires dedicated suitcase to bring anywhere>best its trash

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.
>>12284510I see the 'eck. where's the 'ick?
>>12284406quite the anal circumference my fellow
>>12284574Anything 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.
>>12284574Trimui Smart Pro S
>>12284510too small for my hands
>>12284402After thinking for a while, I'm happy with just gb, gbc, gba, nes and snes.I don't even need ps1 emulation
>>12284623PS1 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.
>>12284629RG40XX-H looks like a good optionTime to watch a bunch of youtube videos about itTrimUI Smart Pro S, is too big for me.
>>12284643RG40XX-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.
>>12284648Rg40xxH 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 SI just wish this was like, 15% better. 2gb of RAM at least. Then it'd be a total must have.
>>12284675Cube 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?Less than 200 dollars if possible
>>12284689How big are you willing to stretch your anus?
>>122846936 inches of length at mostBut smaller if possible
>>12284679Yea, they cheaped out too much on RAM.
>>12284710Makes 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.
>>12284729I'm thinking the same, Imagine next gen systems with double the price, we may have to get something while we can, or not get anything at all in a couple of months.
>>12284675RG40. GBC games aren't nearly as good as you remember. The TrimUI Smart Pro would have been perfect if it was goddamn 4:3.
Should I consider a Linux as my first? I want something vertical.
Bros what if this much ram is never available again?I don't know what to do
In my country the steam Deck is 800 chinese handhelds are my only choice.My absolute limit is 500 (including shipping)What is the best I can get with that money?
>>12284739That's one thing the Mangmi really has going for it. 4gb ram for $90.
>>12284781USD? Retroid G2?
>>122847425.5", 2gb ram, 4:3, Linux, $80. Is it too much to ask for?
>>12284784Yes usd, I made the conversion, I'll check the retroid one out.
>>12284574The RP5 and Flip 2 support Rocknix, so those are expensive.

who here did their research, bought their perfect handheld, have no other handhelds, play it everyday and have no desire to get another one? or are all you guys just shelf collectors but with chinkware
finally
>>12284816I bought an RG35XX Plus and play it all of the time. The only other thing I would get is a Steam Deck but they're too expensive for me. I like Linux handhelds and want something with a lot of power but I can't justify the cost for something I only play for ten hours a week.
>>12284816I buy a new handheld every day, what are you poor? here's a nickel, buy a powkiddy
>>12283781what's the best DS like?
>>12284825rg ds
>>12284825onexsugar sugar 1
>>12284816I have a RG Slide and a XU20 and I feel like I don't need anything else for the systems I want to play.
>>12284835I love the look of the Slide, but it's more expensive than the 476 it's based on which makes me sad.
>>12284841That's the one I was going for at first but I just I couldn't resist the style of the slide, it's nice to use it as a pseudo tablet as well.I wouldn't buy it at full price tho, I got mine during an aliexpress sale.
>Linux Yes>4:3Yes>RK3566Yes>2GB RAMYES>3.5" screenAh, fuck
>>12284846>aliexpress saleIn Australia things just cost so much even from Ali that you're better off buying direct. Also our government forces Ali to add sales tax to any purchases (+10%).>Ali: $240-$280AUD>Anbernic: $224AUD
Which chinkheld you think is the most ergonomic while offering the largest screen possible *within the limit of being comfortably pocketable?Something you would actually carry with you without a second thought. Not something you'd have to wear big shorts or extra large cargo pants for.
>>12284847Did they say how much this will cost?
>>12284847>>12284885Nevermind, just saw, if only the screen was a bit bigger.
>>12284885Too much for a 3.5" screen
>>12284885$137AUD on sale for $121AUD, so about what an ARC costs in dollarydoos
>>12284513I think it’s a mix of that and the shop ratings. If it has plenty of good ones then you should be good, you’ll want to look at /csg/ or chink shit general on /g/ for more info.

Anyone get the grips for the Thor? It's surprising how just uncomfortable using the dpad is without one and how little it's mentioned in reviews.
>>12285237Grip is always mandatory for any AYN / Retroid handheld.
>>12284765>what if this much ram is never available again?then nothing will require that muchoutside of high end edge cases, most phones will be limited to 6-8GB so that will be the new targetyou'll be fine dropping down to 12

>>12285237Told you retards the 3DS sucked, should have listened.
How does emulating DS and 3DS on a dual screen device compare to actually using a DS or 3DS?
>>12285298the only things ds / 3ds win over are the touch controls and battery, everything else is worse
>>12285304I'm surprised, I assumed touch controls would be the same or better on a new handheld. Is 3DS emulation perfect these days, any issues?
>>12285312not 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
>>12285316Any reason for this?I own 2 actual 3dses and I've never had that issue
>>12285316I'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>DSgood but things like slight input lag and lack of resistive touch screens may outweigh the benefits like upressing 3D games for you>3DSlook 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 loldon'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
>>12285354That's bad sleep hygiene
>>12285321The 3DS never had a comfortable design but it was small easy to reach all the buttonsThe 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
>>12285304All the DS clones are also really heavy. The 2DS-XL and smaller DS consoles are much lighter and more comfortable.
>>12285324The 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 380gYep, 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.
>>12285381Shame, 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=619Russ said he preferred to play games that use the left stick instead of the dpad for the Thor. Apologize
>>12285410
>>12285389the 3ds' problem isn't the weight, it's the distributionit's top heavy and that makes it annoying to actually use
>>12285410No shit. On handhelds only the top controls are comfortable.
and funny in his first Thor video he said the dpad being down there wasn't an issue and better than the Aya Neo DS because there wasn't any ergonomic bumps because he could shift his hand easier lmao
how is it that no one has perfected the handheld design yet? Why do I have to kill my hands depending on whether I use the d-pad or analog?
>>12285416What about the 2DS?
>>12285425I never had this issue on the x28, it was one of the most comfortable handhelds to use for both d-pad and stick
>>12285425The only way to design a handheld that won't kill your hands is to basically make a controller with a screen slapped in the center. So I guess the Playstation Portal is the best handheld.
Oh godOh god oh fuck
>>12285436Only if you want to use the bottom sticks. If you use the D-pad, flat handhelds like the RG35XXH are plenty comfortable.
>>12285436it unironically is along with the ROG Ally because they understood you need to shift the lower buttons diagonally towards the screen
*blocks your path*
after getting my pocket air mini as my first "full sized" horizontal I've realized how awkward my flip 2 is to hold in the hand for an extended amount of time
>>12285451congrats, you just reinvented the laptop
>>12285454No shit. The clamshell formfactor sucks. It's fragile and only comfortable on small handhelds. There's a reason RGC only recommends GBA-SP clones.
>>12285460what are you talking about, he shilled for the flip 2 and the thor now
>>12285435What are you using now?
>>12285454Flip 2 is still more comfortable than the Thor and DS likes
>>12285465He 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.
>>12285471you'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
>>12285468I have a Mangmi Air X now since the x28 died on me, it's about the same size but not as comfortable imo
>>12285483Really? Any idea what died? I'm eyeing a RP5 out of stupidity and was hoping for comparisons.
>>12285489Not 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.
>>12285428feels bettershame the n2ds went clamshell
>>12285428>>12285504The 2DS wedge feels like absolute shit. It's so long vertically that you just can't it comfortably. People only bought it because it was cheap.
>start comparing android frontends>they all look exactly the same

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.

Is the Anbernig DS at least good for playing GBA and watching anime at the same time? I'm kind of tempted by the price
>>12285619What consoles do you play on it?This looks like an amazing device to have, it can do so much, but it seems 3ds emulation is still not good enough, and it kind of defeats the purpose if you buy it just for that.
>>12285619If only it had a third screen to watch Subway Surfers speedruns while I play MLP and watch Ron Paul Drag Race.
>>12285721>This looks like an amazing device to haveFor reddit posts. For actually using the anbernig is better. the screens are the right aspect ratio, it has way less input lag, and it has better dpad and ergonomics
>>12285747No it's not, the anbernic can't even run 3ds emulators.Do they pay you for spewing nonsense like this?

>>12285619>>12285717It's completely insane to me that people want dual screen handhelds not for the DS/3DS, but so they can watch video entertainment to distract themselves from the game entertainment they're already playing. How melted is everyone's attention span now that multiple people want this level of stimuli?

I got an R36S for Christmas, and I'm looking at the games on it. I'm not much of a one for fast reflexes, and with tiny controls that goes double. Are there good RPGs/VNs/turn based games/other games where my lack of coordination won't be a problem?
>>12285943Get your own games. You should change the sd card and update the firmware anyway.
>>12285957A new SD and case are on the way. I'm happy to source my own games, but if anyone here has any recommends I'm all ears.DESU there's no rush, I have 25k titles to slowly comb through.

I'm getting tempted by this thor bullshit for DS shenanigans. I know the hinge is gonna fail and I should wait, but I have the urge to consoooooooom. Might just buy some 4:3 slop instead but they're all trash besides retranny.
>>12286076Bro just buy a DSiXL.
>>12286076anbernig is better for ds
>>12286010Both lost.The Thor is heavy, uncomfortable, and has software issues. Dual screen novelty isn't worth being worse at everything else.The RG DS is the same but worse, except it's cheap.
>>12286019If reddit and redditgoymeuncle lost, so did the nigds.>>12286126Max, you're not even trying. You both get mogged by an abandoned phone.
>>12284816I bought an RP2S because I was hesitant of chinahelds but I realize I should have just bought a RP5 or now the G2
>>12286137What are the software issues? I've had one for about a month and it's genuinely flawless for me.
>>12286147your shit fugly. anbernig won.
>>12286171>can't even run melondswhat'd they win?

Is there any reason why I shouldn't buy a Mangmi Air X aside from the fact it's $150 USD in my cunt?
>>12284643>>12283642RG40xxh does PSP and dreamcast (all the xx do). Obviously getting that $90 ayn pocket air neo is the better one and you can eek out a more powerful machine for not much more, but I do like my 40.>starfox64 dreamcast requires you do do a rom patch with a bunch of gay github painI know thats pretty standard for romhacks, but I am rather lazy.
>>12286212Mangmi air x is probably the best value for psp and below. If everything else in your shithole has similar markups then go for it.
>>12286212The only reason is if you already have something equivalent. Very neat how many good choices are available at decent prices.
>>12286124Why would I buy another DS when mine still works perfectly fine?
Anyone have any success with gamehub or gamehub lite? None of that shit works for me.
>>12286219The retroid pocket 5is 250 and the 406h is 200
>>12286239shieet 250 is what I'd have to pay in the USA with shipping and the grip
>>12286238Bro, your Emuready?
>>12286216Why do people who recommend Ayaneo ignore the fact their shipping costs a fortune? Stop comparing their MRSRP to other brands when shipping costs 28$.
>>12286262there are PAID shills in this thread RIGHT now and they are not GOING TO LEAVE
>>12286171>He thinks the anbernig looks goodRedditor tendie gonna tendie.>>12286238System? Gamehub lite works even on my piece of shit tablet. Your games ARE drm free aren't they?
>>12286273Even RGC does this shit. He says the Pocket Air Mini is a good deal by ignoring the shipping costs.
>>12286273take your MEDS and HAVE SEX schizo
>>12286283word on the streets is if you mention the rg ds on reddit you get banned instantly
>>12284847rx6h, is that you?
>>12283661just plain like how gba games look on it.
>>12283742his is a valid reason to hate stacked shoulder buttons. It's harder
>>12283924 I want PS2 performance at the cheapest price possible.

>>12286328L
>>12285772yeah this shit is super weird to me too. I like having a video or music on in the background if Im just shitposting or cleaning or something. but if im playing a videogame thats all Im focused on.
What is *THE* JRPG handheld? I don't care about modern games except turn based games so whatever I buy needs to be powerful enough to at least run Metaphor I guess? I was planning on trying to decide between an AYN Thor or the Odin 2 Portal but I wonder if it's just a matter of youtube and recency bias. Please tell me, because otherwise I'll just give up and become a steam deck cuck
>>12286376>run Metaphor I guess?not retro
>>12286395It will be one day. I'm just trying to get prepared early.
I found a new 2ds xl at 150, in mint condition, should I spend some more for a new 3ds xl?, the 3d factor doesn't matter much to me, I'm just thinking, it doesn't look as sturdy as the new 3ds xl, but maybe it's just me.
>>12286410Go for it, 3ds price inflation is ticking.
How do I make sure I don't get scammed on AliExpress?

>>12286425Isn’t it like amazon? If you get scammed, report to the platform and you get money back

What's a good handheld I can get for ~$50?
>>12286376>*THE* JRPG handheld?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.
>>12286457define gooddefine form factordefine consoles
>>12286470Recommending phones in this thread should be an autoban.
>>12286474Uh, idk.Horizontal I know I'm not going to get anything that runs GameCube or whatever with $50, but maybe SNES, GBA, and some DS?
>>12286478Your android handhelds are just rewrapped phones. The same will go for your arm linux handhelds once they become more powerful than the gameforce ace.>>1228648334xx. 40xxh. Trimui smart pro.
>>12286457Battlexp35034xx,35xx,40xx36s
>>12286470Thinking off the top of my head I think the highest I want to go would be PS2 games, but I'd really like to play remastered remastered versions like FF12 the Zodiac Age.
>>12286457>>12286483you cant get ds emulation for $50 but you can get the anbernic that looks like a gba or sp
>>12286212>>12286219>>12286239Isn;t the 476H also $150USD? Not landed mind you.
>>12286262I'm getting $21.50 dollarydoos shipping direct from Ayylamo. So that's like, $15 in yankbucks?
>>12286478most phones are 16:9ish, android, oled. perfect for psp/vita lol>>12286501there'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 deckyou 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 etcand then there's the availability factor too. by country availability varies
>>12286509i guess because you're closer and they dont have warehouses in us or something
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.Give me your opinions and unfiltered biases.
>>12286517doesn't exist below $150, the closest thing is an rp mini v2/rp5/rp4 if you can still get it. everything else below $150 does some but not all ps2/gc
>>12286517476h
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".
>>12286517RG-476H is just about the only option at that price point.
>>12285943Before you do anything, clone or original. Backup all files of the boot partition of the os card and shove them in a folder.>>12286510The ayaneo pocket play will be kino>>12286541Do you want to play pc games? If yes, eck. Tinkering with winlator/gamehub is not fun. Do you want dualscreen for 3ds/tiktok/maps/guide? Thor
>>12286541Why are you comparing the Thor and the Deck? It would make more sense if you wanted an Odin 2 Portal or a Deck.And the answer depends on whether you want to play PC games and if you have a PC already. If you do, Moonlight and the Portal is a better option. If not, Deck.
Do we have any info on whether or not the 3gb Pocket Air Mini punches harder than the Mangmi? They're basically the same price so I'm unsure what the better buy is.
>>12286303Well, you can fool around with "good enough" for the task or go straight to the point, and get the best device:SIMPLY FANTASTIC 2K (SF2000)Playings PS2, NGC, and basically any 2D SWITCH game plus some well optimised 3D ones.
>>12286563air mini stronger
>>12286553>Do you want to play pc games?>>12286561>And the answer depends on whether you want to play PC gamesNot 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.
>>12286541Deck, 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.
>>12286578>air mini strongerWhat's the chance this gets CFW any time soon? Given what Gamma can do to other devices I'd be interested to see what they can squeeze out of this.
>>12285458Stop saying that! It's totally different!
I've not used AliExpress before. Is it basically chink amazon? Like you can add anything to cart and it gets shipped from wherever? Or should you try and buy everything from one store?tl;dr want to buy 476H and 40xxH and I don't trust chinese
>>12286708Anbernic has an official website if you're that concerned.
>>12286708Kinda. There's a metric fuckload of scams on there, but sometimes you get good deals in this arena. Most people just buy direct or they buy from scamazon if they have prime and free shipping. Also comes out a bit cheaper, sometimes. You just need to look around.
What's the best handheld running the RK3566? The RK2023?
Ordered the AYN Thor Pro and I'm wondering what point there is in buy the Max version? What games would even run on the Thor that would require 16GB of ram? What's the use case for that much? I'm genuinely curious, am I missing something?
>order an ayylmao pocket air mini>after a week of crickets send ayylmao an email that I want to cancel the order and get a refund>after another week of silence send another mail, reminding them I want to cancel>within 24hrs finally get a response>"oops, device already being shipped, cancellation not available ^^"god DAMMITI want to buy an anbernig 476h but how can I justify it now? this whole ordeal went from something I was excited about to feeling like I screwed myself
Retroid Pocket Mini It is no longer available It's Over
>>12286902Android games. Mobile games are huge in Asia and these high-end chinkhelds are designed for that market with emulation being a side effect.

>>12285712>didnt watch ads.You not watching ads does not change the fact that they advertised this thing as playing 3DS games.>runs it perfectly in drasticNot 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?
>>12286425If 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.>>12286708It'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 versionDamn, 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.
>>12287149Alright I'll look into it, thanks anon.What are the revisioned colors?
>>12287161OG colors:>Famicom>Silver>Black Transparent>Blue TransparentRefresh colors:>White Transparent>Green Transparent>Red TransparentOG colors are a coin flip because they did refresh them but many shop still have old stock and will get rid of that onto you and won't care.
>>12287136Wait for the 40xxSP like the rest of us.
>>12287173Is that something confirmed or just because of Anbernic's track record?
>>12287186Just based on their track record. They clearly bought 1 million h700s for 12c each and need to use them up.
>>12287186Honestly I just want them to make a new Linux handheld. Something in the sub $100 range, 4:3 but bigger than 4" (4.7 seems mint), and at least 2gb ddr4. That'd be a must buy for me
>>12287130would you say this store is trustworthy?https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1104186253
>>12287201So like an improved 40xxH? That would be pretty sweet honestly.
>>12287214>So like an improved 40xxH?Exactly. Just take the 476 shape. Sorta like how the Cube xx is just a Cube but different guts.
>>12285772I have been doing that since 98. Playing on computer with something on TV and vice versa. It's just normal.
>>12286376RG Nano in OP pic. One handed JRPG.
>>12287245Not 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).
>>12287207Like I said, you have to be careful about them. If the thing you want from them has several hundred sales you can take a chance if you want but I wouldn't do it personally. I only trust shops like that specifically for stuff under $10.
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.
>>12287265Welcome to android.
>>12287275Ayup, figured shit like this might happen.If this thing ever gets proper Linux support I'm jumping straight to it.
anyway to pirate beacon? site i usually use is outdated
>>12287282It'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.
>>12287354There'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).
Ayn thor will cost double by the end of the year.You can make a gamble, and hope for azahar or citra to improve emulation and buy now, or wait for later and pay more.

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?
>>12287427That's not...Nevermind, the handhelds you like will also cost double by the end of the year anbernic monkey-kun

>>12288020he's in our hearts
>>12287859>local streaming turns out is not a meme.It never was. I'd say I'm surprised it's not talked about more, but that's probably because it just works so there's nothing to discuss.
>"retro" game corp and Joey's "retro" handhelds frequently discuss Switch emulation when it's not retro wtf!
>>12288068your metric for retro is youtubers?
Do you guys buy cartridges, or is it all emulators for you?I wanna buy cartridges, what's a good provider?
>>12288096I stopped buying carts a few years back, just before Covid made the already ridiculous retro bubble worse.Emulation is solved for everything I care about anyway, and no Gane Boy game is worth $200. The bubble needs to burst HARD before I even consider buying physical again.
Why do 3DSs cost a fortune, while all the previous Nintendo handhelds are cheap?
>>12288124fomo
>>12288124Youtubers
>>12288096There isn't a reason to buy carts outside of collecting now. If you want to use original hardware, save your money and get a flashcart.
>>12288124It can play 3 gens when jailbroken and has decent quality library and hardware. But fomo and easily hacked. Vita should be right up there
>>12288130What's a good flashcard you'd recommend
>>12288160Whichever one is available. We're long past the days of competing flash carts.
>>12287720Not really but I prefer playing my PSUnder games on a smaller held, my RP5 is for big boy games only. Hopefully Bully runs well, I'm planning on doing a 100% run on it.
>>12288124le 3d that no one ever used besides me
>>122881243DS has hardware gimmicks that can't be emulated well. DS has these also, but there's so many of them that there's no supply shortage. Also, a 3DS covers this use case anyway.
>>12288160EverDrive if you want to buy once and be done.
>>12288181Bit pricey, but looks solid
I really really REALLY need SteamOS on ARM like right now I cannot stand having to use lagdroid
>>12288206Steam OS for arm will be coming in the next 2 years, believe it.But the lag will be the same, there really isn't an inherent difference when you take away bloat software.
Handhelds I want to buy that don't exist:>Steam Deck MiniThe 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.>Brick HorizonalI 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 2The 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.
>>12288227how do i unsubscribe from your blog?
>>12288227Very cool, thanks techdweeb
That's the smallest device that can emulate gamecube? I think with that power I can play everything else I want.Shape doesn't matter
>>12288259Retroid pocket mini v2 is probably the best for that

Playing Yugioh GBA games on my Miyoo Mini Plus is very comfy
>>12285712> It's fine if the joysticks are absolute dog shit, the DS didn't have them anywaysWild take to have Anyways, Anbernic should've made a better product, it's clear they rushed it out the door in order to try to outsell the AYN Thor.
Bros I'm scared. Gpu and ram prices are going silly this month. Do I go all in on an x86 handheld like 'eck or rog, or do I weather the storm and make do with a chinkheld like a 40xx?
>>12288434just b urself
>>12288434i really don't care what you do tbqhwy
>>12288434Do you really need the best of the best?If so, go ahead, buy everything, becaue it will all be more expensive later.
Can you guys help me hack my vape for more games?
What's the minimum to get practically perfect PS2 and GC emulation? I never owned a snoy until the PS3 era so I want to go back and play all the Armored Core and such that i missed out on.G2? Odin 2? Linux pref but I'll take Android if it has good cfw to work with.
>>12288619A PC. You don't need a handheld to play consoles.
>>12288619A steam deck it plays gamecube and ps2 upscaled perfectly. I havent tried every game but so far its awesome.
>>12288334How am I going to emulate games if the discs don't fit??
>>12288630>>12288673Same post
>dude just get a Miyoo Mini Plus and Install OnionOS!
How's the RG-34XX screen for console games? Thinking of PS1 or PSP were you can often get the games outputting a 3:2 image.
>>12287597Probably not, but I can live with loud buttons
>>12284687Gamegear is 4:3.
>>12285840>Xperia play>for PSPanon...
>>12286216>RG40xxh does PSP and dreamcast (all the xx do).Sure, at 50% speed so the sound is fucked up
>>12287265On my Odin I just mapped it to the dedicated android back button and it works perfectly, but I guess your ayaneo doesn't have one lolOn my ayaneo windows device I have the same issue, there is no system button, just the regular controls and the dedicated ayaneo buttons which cant be remapped. Dogshit software.
>>12288824Turn off upscaling.
>>12288847>uscaling>on a 640x480 display
What systems can I emulate on this?
>>12288767>Miyoo Mini Plus and Install OnionOS!I've had mine for three years. The only drawback is no analog sticks.
>>12288871And the dogshit software and CPU
>>12288854I'd be surprised if that can manage more than SNES. Reminds me of the original Eee PC 4G I had. With a resolution scaler for 800x600 and a heavy overclock, that thing ran BF 1942.
>>12288630I don't have the acces to or space for a PC, or else I'd just do that. Need something smaller and more pick up and play wherever I am, hence handheld.
>>12288673Is it the minimum tho? That seems really high end.
>>12288767Tgis but retroondittors soifscing over the mini v2 after being keked with and letting retroon get away with the v1. Gayest moment in western chinkheld community history.>>12288879It's arm linux. That's all of them aside from the >>122888543588
>>12288879>dogshit software and CPUIt runs PS1 and GBA. I don't know what you expected.
>>12288619>>12288887RG-476H is the cheapest option that can do enough PS2. If you want more coverage, either RG-477M or something widescreen like the Retroid Pocket G2 and similar variants.
>>12288743>emulate>discsyou're in the wrong place
>>12288913I'm still curious about the performance difference between the Pocket Air Mini and Anbernic's T820 devices. I only just became curious enough to test out PS2 and it seems like the PAM will cap out at the NTSC version of games like Yakuza 1 or Silent Hill 2 (at native res, and of course a few FPS drops/loading stutters).
>>12288854cpu specs are similar to a trimui model s.so, up to snes without special chips and light ps1.
>>12288854>>12288958Anyone who runs debian on this knows exactly how it runs, dont feed the troll.Its a 300mhz without working drivers which means its text games only and probably still lags at them.
>>12288984It has drivers for the 2D display engine and has no 3D GPU anywayAnd yeah I was mostly joking, but also wonder what it could realistically run
>>12288913G2 does seem to be a good answer. Is there anything in the x86 or x64 which is as good at a similar price point, up to $300 I suppose.
is there ever a reason to buy something like the odin or ayaneo slop if you already have a steam deck
>>12289016not really, if I had one and didn't mind the size I'd just get a small linux and be content also a ds/3ds if I wanted to play those
>>12289016Odin? No, it's not very pocketableThor? Maybe if you want to play 2 display games with upscaling and 4k textures, but you really have to want that.
They don't ship to my country :(The search continues.
>>12289016yeah the portal is better than the steam deck since valve uses the lowest quality oled screens possible
>what's the minimum to run ()please don't be a retard, get something a tier above what you want to emulate so you aren't constantly facing slowdowns and 20 FPS because you got the bare minimum shitcube
Why would you buy a deck now? The thing is old as hell, wait for the next one
>>12289007>x86 or x64>up to $300Nothing you can buy new. Maybe a good deal on a used Steam Deck now that the LCD is gone.
>>12289016If you actually want to take something that isn't a brick outside your home
Bros I'm lazy please help me pick a handheld
>>12289089i wouldnt dream of playing video games in public, im good
Does the RG40XXH really have an overheating issue like CGR says it does?
>>12289092rg ds>>12289095low T
>>12289074It's still a year or two out at least and will likely be more expensive considering the Gabecube's supposed price point and them discontinuing the LCD version. Plus it's far higher quality and better than anything Retroid, Ayn, or Ayaneo put out with an actual warranty and quality control.
>>12289060>StreamshitMight as well go for the legionGO>>12289103>Dualshitter calling anyone low t.KEK-LMAO! Real anberniggers rock t820's
>>12289114damn, why didnt i think of buying the handheld that costs 1k
>>12289115I acutally meant the Gcloud. I'm not even sure how I got those two mixed up. The chip isn't too bad if it was 150 instead of like 250
>>12289102Yes it does, at least when you're charging it. I tossed mine in the trash after having it for a few months, it sucks for other reasons to
>>12289127>it sucks for other reasons toowhich are?
>>12289130Is burning your fucking house down if you leave it plugged in over night not reason enough for you?
>>12289132You said there are other reasons.
>>12289135People will point and laugh at you for buying one of the low tier poorfag handhelds. Get the 353m if you Wana go anbernic.
>>12289078Yeah I've had a good scout and can't see anything for under $400 even. Shame.>>12289107Pretty much my thoughts. I'll get a GabeCube when it's released and that'll cover anything else I wanna play/emulate.I'm constantly torn between wanting a little handheld for PS1 and under, or investing in a decent pc deck which can do practically anything. Money isn't really an issue for me, it's use.
>>12289141low T

>>12289157>>12289173>>12289174I just want 4:3 5" Linux handheld with more than 1gb of ram. Is that too much to ask? Trimui why did you let me down so with the S. You were this close to greatness.
>>12288906>It runs PS1 and GBAwhat more do you really need?
>>12289178>more than 1gb of ramoverkill
what should I panic buy?odin 3 or rp6
>>12289232Odin 3. New RP6 pre-orders aren't shipping till March.
>>12289232RP6 is just a budget odin 2 portal so get the odin 3
>>12289232With the review that dropped today, Odin 3
Smart Pro S, or Mangmi Air X? Give me your reasons.
>>12289334i 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 mangmilol
>>12289334Shart 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.
>>12289338What's a good cfw for the Smart Pro S? Getting consistent PSP performance?
>>12289342That'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).
>>12289356still waiting for mine to arrive but from videos i saw itll be able to do most of psp at x2, perfectly fine at nativefor 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
new thread>>12289375
>>12289102You 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.>>12289132If it is, we're all gonna have to give up on chinkhelds in their entirety.
>>12283550I'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.
>>12289092RPG2 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.
