Thinking of thor
Best handheld with a NGP-style microswitched stick? Linux or Android.
>>12305545With how good handhelds are now, does anyone play VNs in public on theirs? I jack off through the pocket on my sweatpants, so it's legal since people can't see my dick.
>>12305763instead of buying a handheld go to the asian jerk shack you loser
>>12305545What's a good cheap handheld with wifi to use as a testbench for portmaster?
>>12305574This but Rgds>>12305742There are only three. The gamepark 32, neogeo x which is almost good, and a metal 3566 done by the gamekiddy guy which had a limited release in china.
>>12305545Aya neo bros...
Fuck it, hot take>351mpPerfection in almost all factors, including screen and comfort. Its hard aluminum casing has An aj applegate heft that's more than effective for self defense. You won't get jumped for it as you might for a switch or even a vita>280vIncredible form factor (matter of opinion on the trigger placement), discreet and no nonsense, meant for anyone on the go. Most reasonably priced>analogue pocketFucking delicious for physical handhelds and you can load it with any and everything up to snes. >steam deckAnd He shall reign for ever and everr
>>12305778one of the R36 clones with wifi? RG35XX H?
>>12305778>testbenchMeaning? H700/1GB and muOS are the most popular and targeted combo for ports these days.
>>12305795>>351mp>Perfectionno wifi like the rg351m = shitsimple as.
got my trimui smart yeaterday.tried stock and tweaked it to my liking and it's alright. not as refined as stock brick.i'm trying minui now and it seems better than minui on the brick.
I just got some 3D printed grips for my N3DSXL. Hopefully they make it actually usable.
>>12305825It doesn't need wifi. That's just trivial, they're way to similar.
>>12305771Ew a 3DPD women?
>>12305842without wifi you can't use portmaster.also, it's very comfy to just copy shit over without having to move the sdcard and you can do it while playing something else even.
>>12305852>without wifi you can't use portmaster.Yes you can. Portmaster has an offline installer with extra libraries so you dont run into problems with games that need them
Playing Sunset Riders on Switch, the oled screen makes the colors pop, so beautiful. Best handheld we have so far.
>>12305865This but the neogeo pocket color.
>>12305842I used to think like you because of:>>12305857But when I got Miyoo Mini + with WIFI, I got spoiled by hand held RetroAchievements(.org). I was more than content with RG280V but cheevos made me aspire to an RG35XXSP for a WIFI upgrade with IceCream Sanwich form factor; but while it matured and became cheaper, I found a Miyoo Mini + and a RG35XX 2024 on the wild for an average of 25 USD each (ex-owners were normies filtered by having to format and flash an SD Card, let alone BIOS files and ROMs). With the latter two I cemented my trust in the sturdy, serviceable build of ANBERNIC with RG35XX-2024 and its more than fair enough DAC (capable of actually driving earbuds, unlike Miyoo's). Yet Miyoo's WIFI spoiled me with Retro-cheevos. With that budding loyalty to ANBERNIC I got RG34XX-SP, knowing how capable H700 actually is with PSX downwards, its fair Dreamcast driving, and PORTMASTER capabilities, to think about adding 2GB of RAM to an XX Series, in GBA-SP form-factor, became a no-brainer. I was not disappointed, PortMaster did add more PC games with twin axis and higher RAM needs. PortMaster is a great reasons to go for TwinSticks. people shit on those sticks in the GBA-SP Avatar, but if you think of them along with the 2GB RAM, then it makes sense. [/James Joyce]
>>12305885saar i didn't ask saar
>>12305795>351mpThe 35XXH is a straight upgrade, but that doesn't make the 351MP bad.
How does the RG34XXSP compare in comfort to the RG35XXH?
Aside from the switch 2, are there devices are closer in shape to the original switch? I really liked the general shape of it and would like something similar. I think I saw that the Odin 2 Portal was pretty close in terms of thickness outside of the ergonomic for holding.
>>12305892Pliss redeem the trust for Anbernic, saar. Become needfully now and do the Anbernic.
>>12305897Yes, there are tons of PSP-likes. The market is flooded with them.
My first handheld since the 90sI'm excited
>>12305894The 35XX is longer than even Miyoo Mini +, making it effectivelly more comfortable to hold than the the Miyoo Mini +. It is also better balanced or the weight somehow more satisfying. Now, the 34SP is about the size of Miyoo Mini + but still more comfortable to hold, I think it is the hinge and its gravity centre, because it is not ergonomic by any means (neither was GBA-SP). Having said that, it is way more comfortable to hold than RG280V, not only is it bigger and offers more angles to stretch wrists back and forth making use of the different vision angles of the hinged screen., but neither has it warranted me pulling some reading glasses to read the fonts after an hour playing (lest I get a headache). So it is a good compromise, the hinge does open resting wrist positions possibilities, allowing for viewing angles compensating for some stretching while you game.
>>12305832ya'll got some fragile as hands and wrists
>>12305865>SwitchObjectively what every handheldfag would be playing of they weren't hipsters wanting niche shit just to be different and waste time
>>12306052Hipsters gentrifying MUH CHEAP CHINKHELD!?
>>12306054there's no user stats here, you can stop trying so hard
>>12306052A powerful phone > Switch. Also,>IESLB>>12306067>There's no [Backseat janny lies]
>>12305894Oh shhhhhhh-You meant RG35XX-H I read RG35XX(+) "in my mind". Disregard I suck
My pinky hurts from playing a vertical
I think I want to buy a steam deck for cloud saves. I just really wish they had come out with a steam deck mimi. It sucks because all I want to do is play my indie games and jrpg remasters, but I don't have any better ideas.
>>12306184Valve won't make a steam deck mini, but they will release the source code for steam OS for arm, which is the next best thing, just get any arm you like and be patient.
>>12306121>liesso you really do think you have an account hereyou schizophrenics are fascinating
>>12306187>but they will release the source code for steam OS for arm, which is the next best thing, just get any arm you like and be patient.Yeah but there's no telling how long I'll be waiting. I really want to make progression on my games while on break in my office. Doesn't really seem I have much of a choice.
>>12305897odin 2 portal with the grip is without a doubt the most comfortable handheld to hold out of any chinkheld, feels like holding a xbox controller
>>12306052tell me when the switch 2 can run psp games instead of toddler retard games
>>12305742Max zhou was going to make one with a h700, but he couldn't wrap his head around the microswitch stick technology so it was hello canceled. >>12306202>toddler retard games>every psp game except Outrun, CHADS of coast and Mortal kombat unchad out of thin air
>>12306198>His handheld needs a grip to be comfortablePathetic. Meanwhile a burgerheld moggs every jap/chinkheld and it's a clamshitter.
Get a Switch, add RetroArch (+ MAME, PS1, SNES, NES, Genesis), and you’re set for a lifetime.Everything beyond that is collector noise. Real gamers pick one system and actually play.....1CCs, no-death runs, mastery.Collectors argue hardware, chase new handhelds, and post for hours. Gamers play.This thread could be good if it wasn't full of hardware collector noise 000000 Retro gaming isn’t about owning devices 0000 it’s about mastering games.One good handheld is enough. The rest is distraction.
>>12306247no
>>12305865OLED + switch btfo every competitor on the market for ages
>>12306241Can this thing play games if you don't have an internet connection?
ur right... one handheld IS good enough...
>>12306247I DO shitpost, but I am not coomlector. I'm simply waiting for the perfect handheld and using my phone in the meantime. Ayaneo will save me from my curse with the pocket play. Dimensity 9300 btw. I have no idea if that's good?>>12306253It's just an android tablet. Why wouldn't it?
>>12306241Nvidia will bring it back after the bubble bursts
my switch joycon died after a month of use and I never bothered to replace it
>>12306279>First party controllerHow the FUCK did you tolerate the dpad being four seperate buttons?
>>12305545Now consider a real handheld with real hardware inside for three (that's a 3) generations of Nintendo handhelds: GBA, DS and 3DS. That means that, in addition to the amazing original catalog of games from this handhelds, you can natively play from the best of the SNES catalog ported to GBA (Super Mario World, Yoshi's Island, Super Mario Bros. 3 and 2, all Final Fantasy, Earthbound...), to remasters of N64 (Star Fox 64 3D, Ocarina of Time 3D, Majora's Mask 3D, Mario 64 with analog controls and full panoramic 3D stereoscopic support) and even NGC (Luigi's Mansion). Add the Virtual Boy emulator, and the tremendous work done by M2 in remastering the SEGA catalog in stereoscopic 3D. You literally don't need another device in your life. Don't fool yourself with chink shit.
>>12306282I can do all that and much more for a fraction of the price.
>>12306282>can't even run n64lol no
>>12306282>Clamcel2ds is suppiror. 2ds > 3dsshit including 2dsxl. Retroon pocket 5 > Pocket flop 2. Odin 2 portal > Thor. Gba > Sp
>>12306280wasn't so bad but I primarily used the joystick for games
>>12306289Based, I love my 2ds, still going strong after many years of use.
>>12306241Oh hey those are my legs. Still love that thing, although I haven't touched anything but my MM+ in months>>12306247Yeah, that's just drastic. It's still a strong device but most emulators aren't compatible with the older version of android and the old apks arent nearly as optimized. Even getting hard ps1 games runing on it is tough, despite it breezing through hl2 and portal 2
>>12306319Second reply should be for >>12306253
>>12306287With all the decompilation efforts underway, it's not a matter of if, but when 3DS chads will be playing native N64 ports in full stereoscopic 3D.
>>123063373ds is gonna break my hard when all of it starts degrading and disappearing into memory
literally is there any 3ds game that needs the touchscreen so bad I can't just emulate?
>>12306437nintendogs + cats
>>12306337>can't>>b-but maybe eventually it->can'tkek what a worthless pile of shit
Why did the RG557 fail?
umm... your 3ds literally cant even play switch games chuddy...
>>12306467came out after the rp5 was already rooted as the best for 200 bucks
>>12306440He didn't post an ACKyn product, tho? I don't blame him, not every handheld is made from CHADbernichttps://youtube.com/watch?v=idPDB22TDCU>>12306467>Fail...Cried the retroid sissy wishing for a true successor to the 2s while max zhou racks in the big bucks for his 8th 4:3 kino in a row.
>>12306474good
>>12306481I don't own any Retroid devices.
>>12306467The smooth clear plastic looks too cheap and triggers a fight or flight reaction based on 3rd party controller memories. White handhelds are bad over time and it lacks another solid color version.It's a tricky value proposition with Snapdragons on the rise and the Dimensity's only purpose being bruteforcing troublesome PS2 and GC games (which requires actually playing these games enough to run into) and native games (gacha), while SDs pulled ahead on the Adreno advantage for Switch and other select stuff, and wild x86 emulation claims by sensationalist youtubbers got casuals by the balls (Mali IS near useless on that end, but still).Glossy d-pads are stupid.>>12306481God, I don't miss trying to run N64 on RK3566 or touching a 3.5" screen, you have to toggle dual core rendering or whatever and that adds some hefty input lag. Also, pretty sure you could operate Mupen with buttons alone.
>>12306440>extensively talks about how great the 3DS is for having native playback of 3 handhelds libraries inside>but muh emulation>literally shows him a native port of Mario 64 already running, not emulation needed>but it caaaaaaaaan'tNot the smartest, nor richest, one around here, huh?I understand, the train has already left the station, and it's too late for you to afford a 3DS at current prices, but that doesn't mean you should trash it.
>>12306495Thank you for the explanation.
>>12306503my 3ds has been sitting at the bottom of my drawer for the past 5 years, there's no reason to touch it any more
How much longer must I wait for the fucking Thor to ship?
>>12306519should have pre ordered
>>12306247>1CCs, no-death runsNo. I don't hate myself or video games.
I have a Smart Pro S arriving today, it will be my first retro handheld. What am I in for?
>>12306590not being able to play all psp games despite that being the whole point
which portmaster games actually need 2gb ram?
>>12306592Based, who needs it anyway.
I am addicted to chinkslop. I cant stop buying them
>>12306598I might be retarded, but I haven't noticed any difference between GTA 3 on portmaster with 1gb ram vs 2gb
>>12306651runescape on pc doesnt feel any faster with 64gb ram vs 8gb either...whod have thunk?
>>12306681This isn't a retard competition, chill
if I had to give up my phone and computer forever but got to keep this I would be 100% cool with it
>>12306739black bezel+oled is a really nice combo, makes every aspect ratio look seamless and made for the device. except for super wide shit but I dont care about that modern slop anyway.
>>12306648same
>>12306739these fucks need to make a horizontal classic already
sisters... look what I just received
>>12306598AFAIK they try their hardest to keep 1gb as the baseline, but I've heard of games struggling with RAM hungry distros like Knulli.
>>12305829trimui smart in black with minui is the patrician choice anondome switches so good i sometimes play better on that small shitter, heavily overlooked chinkheld due to its age and screen size
>>12306802based enjoy, been playing mine nonstop
>>12306841much better handfeel than the rp mini but I had forgotten how bad ips screens were lmao
I realized I don't take my shit outsideI could've just bought a steam deck
>>12306739I wish any of these verticals tried to replicate the shape of the GBC, it's such a pretty design.
>>12306739>single speakerno.
>>12306949It shits on almost every other chinkheld speaker
>>12306903Tallness matters for horizontals. >>12306949I'll take a single decent speaker over two shitty ones, which is the case for all high-end chinkhelds apparently.
>>12306943the anbernig 40xxv to me feels like an adult gameboy. im pretty happy with my purchase as I hate horizontal shit and laying in bed playing is much better on a vert
>>12306957>Tallness matters for horizontals.it really does yeah, making it even taller would make it ergonomically perfect imo, it would also make space for front firing speakers
>>12306831>minui is the patrician choiceeehhh... not really.i'm done testing minui on my trimui smart and it's good but not great as in the trimui model s.it turns the trimui smart into the trimui dumb because you lose features. no wifi, no bluetooth, no usb drive mode, less emulators.the sleep mode is excellent but not worth sacrificing everything else.i'm back to stock and will tweak it more with ftp or samba so i can copy roms through wifi.
Doesn't oled start to look like shit after just a couple of years?
>>12306950>>12306957the thing is that for that price tag i would expect stereo speakers.
>>12306962how you can care about any of those features for that small shitheld is genuinely beyond mei pop mine out on transit, play super metroid practice rom, and sleep it when i get to my stopyou sound like those tinkerers that dont actually play games respectfully, cause minui is perfect for the smart, we're not dealing with some android-sd8gen2-oled-120hz chinkheld here
>>12306963honestly never experienced it on any phone I had and only had my monitor for like 4 months
>>12306971not having to take out the sd card to move my saves is a great feature.
the thor is my first chink handheld, and I've been loving it ever since it arrivedama
>>12306970And I wish the $200+ offerings had speakers comparable to the RP2S or even the X28 at half the price, alas tards care for audio as much as ergonomics.
>>12306963Modern panels are pretty solid as far as I understand, and the burn-in problem is from a bygone era at this point. Wulff Den even tested this with the Switch for example and it took over six or nine months on a static image purposely trying to make sure it can't activate safety measures and preservation measures while being on 24/7 just to start to get even a minor amount of burn in, and then another six months on top of that to see actual serious burn in at all.If this were the case you'd be regularly hearing complaints about modern phones since so many of them have OLED or Retina (basically OLED) displays.
>>12306981Will order mineHow much ram have you been using, and for what consoles?How long did you wait for it?Did you get the accessories pack? is it worth it?
>>12306950>It's worse than every powkiddy and anbernig speaker.Weird flex, but vertislop gonna slop>>12306971>Shittedui is the tinkerfag choice's larpering as the retardfriendly choice. Aka, modern simplemenu.
>>12306949the speaker is great. and I can just connect my bluetooth speaker or headphones if I NEED stereo. you people will always find something to bitch about
>>12307057>Bluetooth audio Imagine the latency
>>12307061unless youre playing a rhythm game, completely fucking irrelevant
>>12307063>10x the audio latency is fine unless your a pro gamer
>>12307057I think it's easier to criticize the stupid decision of having the 3.5mm audio jack be at the TOP of the device, even the Ayaneo Pocket Air Mini has it at the bottom.
>>12307090I progressed past the year of 2012 and have wireless headphones so not really a big deal for me. but yeah thats pretty shit
>>12306998>Did you get the accessories pack? is it worth it?the grip is basically mandatory because the ergonomics suck otherwise. if you do get the grip then it makes the tpu shell and soft case pointless
>>12307134Apparently the grip fits better with the tpu shell
>>12307136I don't find that to be the case. It fits both but it's a little too tight.
>>12306251oled steam decks much better for retro though.4:3 scales better and you have way better speakers. You also have hdr if you want to use hdr shaders.Switch oleds need to be modchipped and even then you just have retroarch that barely goes up to ps1, n64 is dreadful.
>>12306280get the skull and co dpad cover for your joycon.
>>12307174>burning in your oled on purposedon't do this
>>12306282I love the n3ds but the screen resolution is trash. the vita is better for emulation than it. And gba despite running natively looks like shit because it scales poorly to the screen. n3ds is best used just for 3ds and youre better off with a real ds for ds because it too scales poorly onto the 3ds screen although not as bad as gba.
>>12307063try playing super mario with bluetooth audio and you'll notice how off putting the delayed sound effects are.
>>12307179had it since launch still no burn in. Cope.
>>12306962wifi file transfer achieved.i'll investigate if a tool to manage wifi is easy to make for the smart. i know you can on the pro and brick.but bluetooth is more complicated.
>>12306998I'm back>How much ram have you been using, and for what consoles?it's almost always around 5gb of ram, and that's for the demanding consoles I've tested like ps2, 3ds, switch. only vita and gamehub brings it up to 6.5gb. >How long did you wait for it?I ordered it around october 26th, and I got it december 16th. but from shipment (november 12th) it only took like 7 days to arrive to my country, the delay was mostly a customs issue.>Did you get the accessories pack? is it worth it?no, but I did get the case, soft-pouch and grip. I personally don't use the grip. I find it the thor somewhat comfortable without it, but I can see how some people might need it if they have bigger hands. I only use the case to store the grip, and the soft-pouch to store the thor.
>>12307136kek thats propaganda they use to get people to buy both. Notice how its the youtube shills saying it first then came the parrots
Kind of ironic how there's so much clamor for OLED on these handhelds when they're used for retro emulation with varying resolutions. Unless you're cool with always stretching everything that's just begging for uneven screen wear from black bars.
>>12307280This is the reason I use a bigblur shader.
>>12307280no one's going to be using these devices by the time they wear out. You gotta just live and have fun and not worry about bullshit like possible screen wear. I have a OLED 4k laptop I use as a mini tv above my monitor and I constantly watch 4:3 content on it for years, no burn in or screen issues whatsoever, and if it ever gets bad, I'll just replace it.
Is the dpad on really that shit on the R36S's?
>>12307257 Which version did you order? What gamehub games have you tried?
Long time no see nigs. I got the TSP on 2023, but I think I'm gonna do pic related. Waiting for some good discounts.Btw what's the fuck is this retarded captcha.
>>12307372the pro version, 12gb of ram and 256gb of storage is enough for most of my needs.I've tried octopath traveler and no more heroes. not even native pc games, but I have the steam versions and I wanted to use them.
>>12307379Don't. Not only Retroid shit rarely gets discounted, Ali coupons aside, it's pretty likely to get a price hike along with everything else in the coming months.
>>12307386How well did Octopath traveler work? I've been toying around with picking up a Thor to get through my steam JRPG backlog, and Ocotopath is one of those games.
>>12305545It would've been better than the Thor if it wasn't 1.5x the price desu.
>>12307405well, actually... it didn't recognize the controller on gamehub lite, had to use gamenative. but through gamenative it's a pretty seamless experience. I did read it works properly on gamehub latest though.
>bought an RG CubeXX>realized that basically no system actually is 1:1 except Watara Supervision
>>12306238>pspWhat decade is this
>>12307459>better>no oled screen>jankier softwareOnly advantage is bigger bottom screen
>still no working fan control on Ayaneo Air Plus in linux
>>12307504Well achually it does have an OLED panel. The top screen is a 7" 165hz OLED display, its only the bottom panel which is just an unremarkable 5" 1024 x 768 LCD panel.
>>12307365its fine - actually better than the RG35XX H dpad
>>12305795My 351m served me well for like three years, still works fine too. But I upgraded to the mini v2 and will never look back. I can't go back to a flat ass device.
KT-R2 first review:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzwuAZR73Rk
>>12307494i genuinely feel bad for people like you who get carnied into buying retarded devices like the cube.I don't feel bad for retards who buy shit like the nano though.
>>12306779RP Mini v2 exists though
>>12307630why do you not like the cube
>>12307504It does have OLED. The top screen is actually a better panel than the Thor's.Also no glass meme, better ergonomics, and larger screens. Too bad Ayaneo is retarded with its pricing. Sometimes I wonder just who is buying their products and keeping them in business.
>>12306029We're getting old, it'll happen to you!
>>12307709aspect ratio
>>12305865It looks great on the 3ds as well and it's easily jailbreakable. I would recommend it instead of the switch, unless you have a low serial version.
>>12307724bottom screen is why its a failure. 768p and its a shitty lcd so it doesn't look uniform with the top screen. kudos on getting 4:3 but its an ugly looking device overall, especially the piss yellow cringe youtubers low to show off.
>>12307781nothing looks great on the 3ds lol
>>12307782How many (3)DS games use the bottom screen for anything other than menus/maps/gimmicks that actually warrant high fidelity resolution?
>>12307820>implying people only use these for 3ds gamesyou'd have to be an actual faggot if youre actually looking for a """"3ds replacement""" no that bottom screen is for multi tasking and watching videos, which on the aya neo is trash because its a low res lcd.
>>12307856shameful post, hope it's bait
>>12307872>zoomie didnt grow up with a 3ds so he buys chinkshit instead thinking its the """ultimate""" 3ds replacement because shills on youtube say soyou can't replace a real 3d screen and a lagless touch screen. these devices are for playing console games and pc games on gamehub with an extra screen for bullshitting
So are the hinges of the Thor actually durable?
>>12307856Brainrotted ADHD zoomer.
>>12307914It hasn't been 6 months yet, but so far it seems okay.
>>12306503>$250>can't run n64holy shit lmao
>>12307892>I'm gonna act even more retarded that'll show emand I grew up with a dsi faggot
>>12307918I'm a literal adhd zoomer and I think that fucking idiot is stupid as fuck
>>12306503>extensively talks about how great the 3DS is for having native playback of 3 handhelds libraries insideDS games look like blurry shit on the 3DS.
>>12306503Can the screen be changed? even if we sacrifice the 3d, some color would be nice.
>>12307938There is 1:1 pixel perfect mode.>But it's smaller!Yeah, about that... are you sure? Pic related.>But what about DSi **XL**!Yeah, you may have a point there. I also prefer the DSi XL as the ultimate console for DS games, but sometimes its low pixel density really bothers me, so I don't know...
>>12307949Taki Udon's Retro Remake is working on OLED screen for New 3DS XL without 3D. Honestly, I would never do that because part of the charm and personality of the 3DS is the stereoscopic 3D. I know a lot of people don't like it, but in my opinion it improves the visual aspect of games to 11.
>>12308153why wouldn't they make one for the 2ds
Buying the AYN Thor, should I pick up the accessory bundle or are there better options for a case+grip?
>>12308137The 3DSXL is also the least comfortable handheld ever made.
>>12308174Well, that's subjective. If it feels uncomfortable in your hands, you can always try a grip that fits better. Or...
>>12308195even input redirection for long sessions. Adds almost no lag (less than a frame).
>>12308195or what?
>>12308195NTA but my biggest regret is not importing those Monster Hunter 3DS grips from Japan when they were cheap. I'd love to know how they compared to the cheap Aliexpress grips.
>>12308137>>12308195>>12308197>spend $300 on product>sucks at what little it's capable of>have to buy a fix to make it even remotely usablelmao
>>12308213First off, I'm not a zoomer. The 3DS came out when I was in college, and I never paid more than the MSRP of $199 for it. Second, I have no problem with it in its stock form. As you can tell from my words, it's my favorite Nintendo handheld console. It's the definitive, final form of Nintendo's entire history of handhelds. The fact that it even has native playback for my teenager years GBA games only makes me appreciate it and use it even more. I'm just trying to help sort out valid issues that the anons have legitimately raised.
>>12307283Ah, I see you're a man of culture aswell.
>>12308220>First off, I'm not a zoomer.it's very telling that you felt the need to say this despite nobody claiming otherwisei won't be reading the rest of your post, because i now think you're a zoomer
>>12308246Paying current 3DS prices implies that you are a zoomer.
>>12308260why would i pay anything? you've only shown off how bad it is
>>12308263>being on handheld general>not owning the dominant handheld a decade ago, from 2011 to 2018yeah, not buying that, zoom zoom
Are things slow enough we got a stray 3DS buyer's remorse fag again?
>>12308274there's no reason to buy one, it's bad at what it doesthe only reason you're so enamored by it is because your parents bought you one when you were 5 or 6
I owned a GBA and a 3DS, the only 3DS game I remember being any good was Yokai watch
>>12308263>>12308302post handheld or shut the fuck up faggot
Powkiddy will save us from dual screen hell
>>12308307>d-don't be mean to my childhood toy!lmao
>>12308302Well, every handheld console certainly brings me back memories of who gave it to me. The GB was my first console, ever. I'm very fond of the GBA, because my mother gave it to me after a complicated surgery when I was little so that I could be calm and at least find some happiness. My grandmother gave me the DS for my birthday a few years before she died. And the 3DS was the first console ever I fully paid at launch with my own money while working at college. So yes, you could say I'm very fond of them in a way you can't with the Chinese soulless crap you use to emulate things. Thank you for reading my blog this far. What a strange hatred for a rather well-made console.
Thank you for reading my blog anyway. :)
>>12308342That's nice, anon.
I turned on my gamegear and the screen turns on for a sec before turning off again :(
>>12308325>doesn't post handheldthanks for admitting you're just a trolling faggotI've never used a 3ds in my life
>>12308382>I've never used a 3ds in my lifeyou spent the last 3 hours pretending it's not trash
>>12308220the 3ds library is so utterly shit compared to the ds I actually have a hard time comprehending how anyone can say its the best nintendo handheld. in terms of legacy and library its easily the worst
>>12308305Stela Glow was alright, if you liked the DS Luminous Arc games
>>12308391no I haven't, because that was someone else you stupid fucking retarded troll
>>12308438ok
>>12308421>3ds library is so utterly shitHard disagree (https://archive.org/details/nintendo3dsjapanesecatalog/mode/2up), but it's OK to think that because DS and GBA are amazing too. I'm simply referring to it as the “ultimate handheld” from the perspective that I have hardware for three generations in a single portable console. I include all the software I can play on it with real hardware, and that's basically the almost the entire history of Nintendo's handhelds, which is great.
What's the best 3DS to buy?I have an OG with a circle pad but I want to get a new one.
>>12308457N3DS but the price is accordingly high
>>123084572DS
>>12308457thor
>>12307181>gba despite running natively looks like shit because it scales poorly to the screenI understand that you would prefer to fill the screen, and I wish the screen resolution allowed to 2x integer scaling too, but both the GBA and DS have 1:1 pixel perfect mode. The result you get for the GBA is about the screen size of a GBA SP on a New 3DS XL (and larger than a GB Micro on a regular size 3DS). And for DS, it's exactly the size of a DSi, as you can see here>>12308137
no you see it's a good display for gba games because I can use a gba-sized patch in the middle
>>12308457N2DSXL.
>>12308457It depends on whether you want stereoscopic 3D or not. Personally, I would always go for a New 3DS XL. If you're really sure you won't ever mind about that, then yes, a New 2DS XL, as other anons have said. If you want portability, however, a New 3DS would be easier to take anywhere. The XL is more comfortable, but for home use. Personally, I have both and use the regular size when I travel and the XL at home.
will anbernig release any linux handhelds this year?
>>12308530why would anyone release a linux handheld anymore when there's no support for it on current chips
>>12308530Everything is moving to Android except ultra budget stuff
>>12308464you just need to make it full screen and run a nice interpolation shader
>>12308530A few months ago there were reports on shitcord from a few reputable in the know people that companies, namely Powkiddy, had a run-in with copyright enforcement in China, as ridiculous as that sounds, and, for whatever reason, Linux chinkhelds were under scrutiny as strictly piracy devices bundled with games while Android had more legitimacy. Whether that's true or not, we haven't had Linux reveals from the usual big players aside from the Miyoo Mini Flop since.There's also the problem that cheap linux chips stagnated completely.
>>12308576Yes, I think the filter is fine on the regular model because it has a smaller screen and the blurriness isn't as noticeable with such high pixel density. But since the XL is similar in size to the original GBA SP in 1:1 mode, I prefer that.>>12308476Noooooooooooo, playing 160p handheld games from 2001 in its original resolution and with a screen size the same as the original hardware is baaaaaad. I need 4K for my 160p games. I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna fill the screen!
Is this worth adding onto my Thor order? I've never ordered from AYN before so I'm not sure about it.

After using Rocknix on Arc-D for about a week I've come to the conclusion it has about the same amount of issues as GammaOS but in all the different places>GammaOS>Android>Saturn games refuse to run most of the time>drains battery faster in sleep mode>Z/C buttons are listed as L3/R3>have to update game lists per-system when adding games>function button opens Retroarch menuvs>Rocknix>low req Saturn games (2D platformers/fighters) run okay>sleep mode is weird (doesn't always go to sleep on power button press)>charge indicator isn't updated properly>Z/C buttons are listed properly in Retroarch but by default it uses the ABXY layout which makes B confirm and A cancel (can be changed for the menus and emulators but couldn't change it for other tools like the file explorer)>function button does nothingMight be some more I forgot about, most of those are minor gripes but maybe someone other than me gives a shit

>>12309713yes. trannies boiling over their useless drawer full of anbernics and retroids.
>>12309705Not paying $340 for a chinkheld.
So does anyone have an Anbernic DS here? I just want one for GBA on the bottom and anime on the top screen. Is it at least capable of doing that multitasking?
>>12308358English as a second language.
Asking again if this is something worth picking up while purchasing a Thor. AYN should already have a warranty if something happens during shipping right? I have never ordered from there before.
>>12309705im sure russ from retro gay corps will love this one
>>12309723get a thor
>>12309725no idea how useful it is but I bought the $7.69 one when I bought my Thor because if you're going to spend $400+ what's a couple more dollars?
>>12309735I have one but I'm getting paranoid with rising tech prices and want to hoard some dual screen devices.
>>12309738Oh, you're a retard. Ok, do whatever you want.
>>12309738why would you need to hoard chinkshit? This shit is not a necessity.
>>12309742>>12309746Dual screen devices are already niche as fuck and if computer prices keep going up there'd be less reasons to make them.
>>12309750so what? if you wanna hoard shit get real DS's.Shit will eventually go back down.
>>12309752Real DS's are 20 years old and all slowly breaking down. Plus they don't have the multi functionality of Android or UMPC dual screens
I thought I was going crazy constantly double inputing but actually if I keep a button pressed the chiheld will keep sending the inputhow do I stop that?
>>12309784Are you playing a two buttoned game such as NES, GB, GBC, or GBA?4 buttoned controllers or devices default X and Y to "Turbo A and Turbo B". Maybe?
>>12309798poke emerald retroarch gambatte I tried adding delay to button presses that's when I realized it was because I held the button too long, I just want it to behave like the gba did
>>12309806Any button? All of ém?
>>12309756so what exactly is your reason for wanting to hoard them? For value or to use?If it's value, you're wasting money because these chinkhelds are niche and no one will want RG DS's down the line because despite your worries they're going to still make them.If its for using idk what you're on if you say you have a thor why would you need to hoard shittier devices to use.
>>12309807idk I can only tell from the a button, but something odd is going on, like the mirrored b button doesn't activate the running shoes, really odd all around

All right, haven't posted here in about four months since getting my ARC-D:>incredible ergonomics, best handheld I've ever held in my own two hands, beautiful looking device>software: tried rocknix and gamma os. Rocknix is atrocious and feels like es-de with spyware. Has it's own firmware side retroarch but also standalone retroarch and it wreaks havoc when trying to unify emulation. Gamma OS is a little better, runs ok with the default launcher but it looks horrific. I tried beacon and it runs very slowly due to low ram on gallery and grid view but runs ok on list view.>battery: atrocious, makes the handheld unusable. Battery constantly drains across both gamma os and rocknix so I don't have much hope for retroarena/RA. If you're use to retroid/AYN/ayaneo, you would struggle going back to anbernic, it just feels like you're going into the past by 5 or 10 years. And yes, I tried the battery drain then full charge method to optimise the battery and it didn't improve things much.tldr: don't bother getting the arc-d or any anbernic model for that matter. Not sure how any of the newer glass front anbernic models fare but I can't trust anbernic with qc or proper product development.
Anyone buy a Magic X Touch ONE? Was it really the perfect DS/Dreamcast/SHMUP/Wonderswan machine it was hyped up as?
>>12310115you mean the one 35? mine is lost in the post lmao
I think the Odin 3 would be a perfect "mini" handheld pc IF ONLY it was about 30% more powerfulhaving said that, is there anything from snapdragon that could reach that?
>>12310132just gotta wait for the odin 4
>>12309880You can do this on anything with Wi-Fi.I've done it with my laptop just a few years ago.
>>12310115>>12310124I got one, it's nice for playing vertical arcade games and DS, although it does feel a little top heavy when you're holding it sideways, haven't tried Dreamcast or Wonderswan. GBA games also work well since it has the same screen ratio. Only issues I had was that I had to get their config file from the dawn launcher github so that all the platforms would show up, and I also had issues with file transfer via USB, I had to turn it on via developer mode.
I love my Brick but I wish it was more powerful just so the fast forward has more headroom to go faster. Very niche and unimportant gripe, I know.
When are prices going to go back down these ps1helds are not worth fucking 60 dollars

What credit card am I opening so I can get a handheld before I'm priced out of another hobby
>>12310264I don't know if you've ever used muos or installed retroarch from scratch on android (i.e. on retroid pocket 5) but they are are extremely clean, everything makes sense and plays out by rules.On rocknix (and a few other firmware options) they have retroarch setup with the firmware that you can access and change via in game menu. However, they also have retroarch64 or 32 installed as well to update/download cores/shaders/overlays etc. These two retroarch linux installs work separately from each other. It becomes extremely confusing trying to get some consistency between the two, so much so that it makes me appreciate how clean muos is.
>>12310248sorry but that 1gb ram chip is going to stay expensive for ever
>>123102482028 at the earliest, but probably never since it looks we're heading toward a Chinese monopoly on flash memory.
>>12310269buying a new handheld every few months isn't a hobby anon
>>12310269Buy any Linux PS1 handheld and you will probably die before you run out of games to play.
>>12310275That's pretty standard actually, it's muOS that's the outlier. From the top of my head you're using 64 for most relevant cores, right? Plus at the very least overlays folders should be synced, given you set them through ES? Been a minute since I last used Rocknix. Anyway, I was mostly curious about what prompted the use of the word spyware.
>>12310283I don't have any actually, I'm pretty frugal and I have a steamdeck so I have been resisting this entire time
>>12310318you can afford 'eck but not a cheap linux chinkheld?
>>12310217>using fast forwardyou didn't beat the game
>>12310357Playing Pokemon without speedup is torture.
>>12310360you gotta watch tv while you play that shit man
>>12310309spyware was the wrong choice of word, it just feels jarring going from retroarch with full control to a retroarch that seems to have two different profiles across one system, like you don't have as much control as you could.
>>12310357Go away Clover devs.
>>12310269$200-$300 will get you a handheld with an OLED display that can play every retro console. There's barely any reason to buy anything else for the foreseeable future. If you can't afford that, you shouldn't be buying anything other than rice and beans.

>>12310462hey you fucking suck at trolling kill yourself lol
D-pad at the bottom is actually the best option.
If you're using a Retroid handheld to emulate a d-pad console, you're using the wrong handheld. Buy something else.

The retroon 6 looks the same as the 5 for me. Are we already in the cellphone phase of chinkhelds where we get a new release every 6 month with minimal or meme upgrades?
It's actually insane you can get a RP6 with a snapdragon gen 2 for $230. I paid like $800 dollars for a Galaxy S23 back in 2023

It's actually insane how far handheld gaming has come. Like when the Steam Deck came out (2022) I literally had my mouth open that we could play games like GTA 4 or PS2 and PS3 games on a small device. Now we can do it in even smaller devices.
>>12310631Where do you think you are?

Honestly why wouldn't you just get a Steam Deck for literally all emulation purposes? Like you could make cases for multitasking and dual screen maybe
>>12310653uh ive tried one, the screen is low res and blurry.
>>123106531080p is better for shaders
Thor ownersWhich stylus do you recommend?
>>12310652jpn new 3ds, odin 2 max, rp mini v2, rg35xxplus, steam deck, and my pc has 64gb of ram get owned kys
>>12310669>jpn new 3dsCringe zoomie larpin. Go play fortnite on your giga turbosperg pc lmao
>>12310618I really hate the RP6 paintReally how much better is the 6 performance wise? G2 looked perfect but it is 10 dollar difference so I'm on the fence
What shipping method is the best one for me to grab? Ordering the AYN thor. Which is the safer one? I'm assuming DHL.
>>12310512*smudges you*
>>12310553>uses guides for every single game he "plays"He didn't beat any game
>>12310684DHL
>he didn't buy his 3ds xl on launchzoom zoom
>>12310684Does it cost 35 for DHL because of tarrifs? Or am I going to have my shit withheld from me
>>12310645>firmness of stools stolen
>>12310684Keep in mind DHL has an additional $28 processing fee.
>>123106844px because dhl are a bunch of fags
>>12310612Why the GBA version?
>>12310694So wait, DHL is cost me 63 dollars total?
>>12310684My country didn't have DHL option, and 4PX was 30.
I did it Reddit! I ordered an AYN Thor.
>>12310737we got another one lmaodumb gweilo
>>12310737What's that worry free thing?
>>12310742weather or not your item is pre-dropped before postage
>>12310739Sorry, I only speak English.>>12310742It's shipping insurance for damages or lost products.
I'm really not sold on the RP6, am I missing something? G2 seems way better visually new chip doesn't seem worth it
>>12310514because they're all shitty glass fronts
>>12310752nope you're right, the rp6 is cheap shit, not worth it
>>12310756He even complains about smudging on non-glass handhelds though, which is why he always says to never get black colors.
The real play is to wait until the mini v3 with steamos
tfw switchfin on portmaster doesn't auto log in and also audio doesn't work on my rg34xx
>>12310683Just get the 6. 10 dollars is not that much of a difference.
>>12310769I think I can give up that 10%~ power difference for a higher quality buildAlso the RP6 fan is loud as shit apparently
>>12310767Have you tried turning the sound on?
>>12310773>didn't do the "button sound test" on the RPG2this dude is such a fraudI bet the buttons are even better on the G2 than the 6 too
>>12310775is your refrigerator running
>people are paying MSRP for a used RP5what the fuck!!!!
The R4Pro seems like it's perfect for me but with that price and shipping cost I might as well spend a little bit more for OLED
>>12310773>Also the RP6 fan is loud as shit apparentlyHe didn't say that though
BrotherWhat the fuckWhy is 3-4 weeks shipping F O U R T Y F I V E D O L L A R S
>>12310851because it's from china, retard
>>12310858nice try DHL ceo still just going to use 4PX
Why are handheld enthusiasts so persecuted?Is it because I post from my 405M running gammaos?First the retroon discord and now this
>>12310865
I was thinking about getting a Retroid Pocket 6 in around June. Do you think there'll be anything better for the same price by then or should I stick with my original plan?
>>12310875get a g2 or an odin 3 retard
buying a thor instead of payingsimple as
>>12310896what useless degree did you get?
>>12310410>retard on the thread
>>12305795I'm more of a 351P guy cos I don't like the feeling of metal in my hands, but otherwise agree, still waiting for a worthy successor in that same format and layout, all the ones I've tried are shit.
>>12306052The """"d-pad"""" is objectively shit and ruins the whole idea of using it as a retro portable though.
>>12310884>Get something with worse performance for only 10 dollars cheaper or something 100 more than you said you wanted to payNo, retard.
>>12310950don't fucking ask for the opinions of the non retarded then if you're just gonna cry when you get them stupid bitch
>>12310952What the fuck is your problem? You gave two stupid answers, of course I'm not going to take those into consideration.
>>12306052emulation on the switch is terrible>>12310934there are plenty of third party joycons tbf
So the only thing the RP6 has going for it is a slightly bigger battery, somewhat better cooling and a meme 120hz screen (with worse colors it sounds like?)I can't use on anything I care about at the cost of a way shittier build. Does the G2 thermals even have any issues while actually emulating games? I only saw a some variance on the stress test android app everyone uses which isn't indicative of actual gameplay
>>12311001back buttons
>>12310773it's 5%It's 5% and only if you pay 50 more for the 12gb ram version
>>12310416Nah, Gen 1 has pretty good timings, Gen 2 is a marginally worse but still tolerable. It's Gen 3 onward that feel off, where it starts to take ages to get into and out of battles and the timings are all weird and out of sync with the music.>>12310401Damn, the silver looks nice.>>12310412You're not wrong (I'd rather wait a little more given how the RP5 just got an update to tone down the charging), but there's an actual valid reason to feel FOMO this time.>>12310478Die, reddit.>>12310760Not every black plastic is smudgy.>>12310553Lost the plot by the time he got dogpilled for correctly shitting on the RP5 review unit, since then he acts like an inflammatory retard half the time for views and riling up reddit (doesn't work), annoying redditor personality he likes to signal now and then. Still the only youtube shill that holds actual opinions and is sometimes right, but not worth keeping up with.>>12310616It isn't out yet. Main deciding factor seems to be whether you can handle PWM dimming on the 6, if you can't you have to sacrifice 120hz, backpaddles, softer buttons and Linux support for better build quality and textured grips. The performance difference is negligible.>>12310784Pigmy been slipping for a long time now, but the first chink review did that test and the G2 matches the 5 as you'd expect from the identical body.>>12311001See above.>>12310805"Old" chinkhelds rarely devalue as they should, if you can live with glass front there's no point to the RP4P at all.
>>12310860guarantee you'll be in this thread in 4 weeks wondering where your handheld is, just get the DHL retard, it'll be there in less than a week
>>12311001>meme 120hz screenyou realize that helps with the input lag that every linux poorfag screeches about constantly right, it's why the odin portal had less input lag than the deck
does the v90s have any proper cfw?
>>12311005RightThe impression the RP6 gives me is that it's going to be crack city in a few monthsBetween >>12311008 and the really cheap appearance I think I'll go with G2 since I wasn't going to pay for the 12gb version anyway>>12311010>PWM Dimmingjust looked that up, that doesn't seem ideal either
Do I have to pay duties/tarrifs with Retroid?
>>12311023Apparently most people can't notice it. I'm worried since I was forced to upgrade my zogphone recently and found the lowest brightness at night to strain my eyes, and that's supposed to be 2000Hz PWM or something.
>>12311019I've tried knulli and plumos, they're both fine
>>12310957>rp6 buyer calling anyone stupid kek
>>12311016Yeah but I don't need my eyes getting flickerblasted, I'll just get a G2 especially since next wave of RP6 isn't till march anyway. Battery life on the G2 is also perfect for me.I do hope they do a software update and don't hold the new power settings hostage, I like the 80% charge cap feature on the RP6>>12311034Unfortunate, I don't really want to risk it I'd probably notice it.
>>12311038ill give those a try, ty
They are """"selling off""" their RP5 stock on their amazon store so maybe a discontinue soon once they get rid of all of itIt still costs too fucking much at 210 usd for something that cant even run all ps2 reliably
>>12311039I said I was CONSIDERING it and asked for BETTER options in the SAME price range, you stupid faggot. You gave two options that didn't fall into either categories. I'm not paying 100 more than what I wanted to pay for a handheld, retard.
>>12311072g2 costs less and has a negligible performance difference for 50 dollars less, also will have better build quality
>>12311074>50 dollars less?You mean 10, right? Why wouldn't I go for the more powerful option if it's only $10 more?
>>12311072not that anon but performancewise RP6 is barely 5-7% stronger in benchmark apps so you are going to not notice anything in emulation even if you are buying the 280 dollar 12gb version>>12311076the "cheap" rp6 version is 8gb of ram and you are only going to see performance increase if you buy the 12gb ram
>>12311070is there a ps2 game which won't run full speed at 1x? everything I've tried runs fine at 2x
Why won't these retroon fools drop the RP4p to $120 with the occasional $100 sale, and keep producing it?It would destroy the mid-tier segment
>>12311081I see now.
>>12311085I almost paid 100 for an RP4Pro till I found out the screens are fucked up and don't have the right colors, they tried to bandaid fix it with a software update but its still noticeable
>>12311082Grand Turismo 4 maybetheres a few games you have to downscale/native res on which isn't ideal with a 1080p screen
>they even cheapened out on the oleophobic coatingWew. You did it reddit, you really crippled this one just to please your eceleb daddy (who admitted the d-pad on bottom is horrible in this very video btw).
>>12311089You're an idiot and missed out on a good deal. It had a green tinted white point that was adressed with a software update.
>>12311093>who admitted the d-pad on bottom is horrible in this very video btwNo he didn't. He said his hand covers the speakers a bit when using the D-Pad, but otherwise it's fine.
>>12311096
>>12310674>Ackyn soidittor trying to use a mobile games as an own>When ACKyn shills do nothing but play mobileslop while watching redditgameuncKekaroo!>>12311085That's not even close to how they work. They'd be selling the 2s for 75 if that were the case.
>>12311095>It had a green tinted white point that was adressed with a software update.It was not actually fixedIt's more noticeable with certain things on the screen moving
>>12311104So where did he say it's "horrible"?
This is the year of POWkiddy. They'll either crash sell only x28's and picketball paddles or save chinkhelds.
>>12311112There. In little youtube salesman lexicon, when something is a "a little bad", "a little straining", "a little annoying", it means terrible and he hates it, but he can't outright state it like he does with any lesser brand not sponsoring him.
>>12311093>rubs disgusting cheeto stained fingers on screen>"WOW GUYS THESE GLASS FRONTS REALLY SEEM TO- BRRAAPPP SMUDGE A LOT!!!">barely wipes screen with one hand>"IT ALSO DOESN'T SEEM EASY TO WIPE!!!"there's literally zero fucking way your screen gets that smudged in the first week of having it unless its deliberate
>>12311093Rpoo6 bros.........
>>12311104>stupid fucking retard cries that the hodgepodged piece of shit that was rushed out in two months is shit because of his complaints is shitwow
what would SonicLove think of the RP6?
THOR starts shipping mid-January meaning I likely won't get mine until late February. I just wanna play some ORAS.
>>12311124If you follow the funny pictures at the bottom, you'll learn he's directly comparing to the RP5 and G2, that Retroid confirmed the change to him and how he's begrudgingly considering a screen protector to fix that.
>>12311148It's still not a issue, how are people smudging their screens, there's literally zero reason to ever be rubbing your disgusting ham fingers on the screen of your handheld.
>>12311161>how are people touching the screen on a primarily touchscreen controlled OSGee, I don't fucking know. Virtual mouse is a clutch and doesn't cover all uses.
>>12311167once you set up your front-end you never have to use the touch screen again ever though
>>12311173That's not true. And I still don't know a good controller friendly keyboard to replace gboard with.
new thread>>12311204
>>12310737>proYou did not order the thor
>>12310684If you're not American and use a courier service in MIAMI, DHL, it's fast, secure, and you don't have to pay the extra fee.
>>12310379I think Clover is a pretty cool guy. Eh collects memes and doesn't afraid of anything.
>>12310553rapes children and hooks up with trans women because it is easier to come out as trans-curious than to come out as a pederast. and he has disgusting toe fingers he disfigures orally, using his own teeth to "circumcise" them of their nails, so they resemble kids pen0rs and he snack on them during the day his reviews are unbearable to watch and he sends more virtue signals than actual useful information, for a nasal effeminate voice that does deliver info I will stick to Dweeb, at least Dweeb knows he is weird and embraces it with grace. Chewey just gives me the creeps by how "hello fellow cool kids" his energy is.
>>12310360Which is why I don't play them or any other shit ass turnbased JRPGIf you need to "speed up" or skip the combat the game doesn't seem worth playing
>>12311134>ORAS>not EmeraldWhy?
>>12306282>Now consider a real handheldAs opposed to a nonexistent or unreal one?Which means a handheld that doesn't exist?Which in turn doesn't describe any handheld that does exist...?I'm not gonna read the rest.Your shit console is shit, deal with it.I rather buy a Retroid Pocket or something like the AYN Thor and play a much greater number of games, thank you very much.
When does retroid restock?Why do they lie about having stock on their website?Those 3d printed grips look like shit but is there anything better than the official grip for the RP5? Skipping the case
>>12311134>I just wanna play some ORAShttps://www.iasp.info/suicidalthoughts/
Any of you play Neo Turf Masters (or other golf games) on handheld?Is the swing meter too small?
>>12313314I just tried it on a 4.7" screen. IMO it's too small for comfortable play.There are golf games made specifically for handhelds that probably have larger swing meters and HUD elements.
