bitch
My mini zero 28 arrived yesterday. Pretty sure the d-pad makes a sqeaky noise when I press down.It's a cool system but I hope magicX improves it's quality control
>>12383005Quality control is all over the place on my zero 40, from the posts I see online even the one 35 might have issues like buttons sinking
>>12383006the power/sleep button on my Zero 40 sticks sometimes. Opened it up and it looks like the wifi touches it
>>12383006>>12383008I thought they might have improved by now. Hopefully they improve that because the device is good, especially for the price.With that said, I don't understand the whole "android without a touchscreen is a deal breaker" arguments. If you use it for retro games only (it's main porpoise) navigation is really easy and everything just works. Not sure why people want to play android games on this thing
>>12383008Mine has that exact same problem and the volume button became loose so it rattles>>12383018Yea their dawn launcher is really good for navigating, I rarely the touch screen other than for games on the zero 40
>>12382996trimui should just make the brick a horizontal instead of making more clamslop
>>12383018>Not sure why people want to play android games on this thingchinks unironically love lagdroid gachaslop, because they are bugsubhumans
>>12383214i'll take them over the winlator and gameshub subhumans
>>12383214I was talking about reddit retards but that might also apply.>>12383267You don't get it. The Odin 3 is totally a steam deck lite. I need to waste a lot of money to play [indie game of the month], and by play I mean posting a screenshot of the title screen
How big is the entire ds and 3ds library?
Why don't you own the best handheld ever created?
>>12383306Not sold in my country, only used for 600 minimum, and it's the 256 gb one.
>>12383116Everyone wants a horizontal brick, I have no idea why it doesn't exist yet. Just put the same screen and internals in a horizontal shell and print money.
>>12383116>>12383320you mean a trimui smart pro or am i missing something?
>>12383324nevermind im retarded, i only realized you ment the 4:3 ratio screen now
Where can I buy an Ayaneo Pocket Micro Classic for a sane price? I tried ordering one off Amazon and they sent the regular Pocket Micro, and everywhere else I can find has no stock.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N60wvnq9js0Imagine thinking they would ever change
>>12383306i own both steam deck models and a thor. Thor is better.
Hey kittens, just boughted an Anbernic rg3xx hDoes it just werk out of the box or is there a firmware I want to install first?
>>12383306Not retro, not a hand held. From the creators of American "Foot Ball" (Hand Egg)
>>12383306>handheld
>>12383347if you want longer boot-up times and more performative frontends and (potentially) the removal of cardinal snapping on the sticks, install cfwotherwise, stock works perfectly fine for everything that isn't super monkey ball
I'm sorry but there's zero reason to buy a chineseheld over $100Sweetie if you wanna play PS2, Sega Saturn and Gamecube do yourself a favor and play on a goddamn computer, not on poorly made overpriced devices that will still give you an imperfect subpar experience no matter how much time you spend tweaking themYou're welcome
>The Wife BeaterWhat did he mean by this?
>>12383306It's strong butPretty weak amongst the strong, too strong for purely retro.Also, battery life feels very underwhelming when the device is this premiummNot their fault, they're just held back by today's tech, one day batteries will make these kind of devices worth it.
How do people even risk buying clamshells knowing there's a 95% the hinge is a piece of crap?
>>12383430>using verticals in bedUsing a vert while laying down is a guaranteed hand cramp.
>>12383440If it happens, you just repair it, nothing to worry about.
>>12383403you don't know what you're talking about. You're in no position to be giving advice when you're ignorant.
I know it's a meme by this point but I genuinely think the only performative chinkheld youtuber is Wulff Den, he has no idea what he talks about and seems like a complete retard trying to figure things out
>>12383337entitled youtube reviewer faggots just seething that ayaneo isn't sucking their dicks
>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LODA_MARhUoa second troontend has hit the th*r
>>12383486techdweeb is definitely performative with the forced jokes and fake raspy voice
>>12383430> Simply Fantastic 2K (SF2000)> Beats all of the rest. Checks Out
>>12383492I've been using my thor without a frontend and its been a flawless experience. Frontends are for performative faggots.
>>12383469He's right though
>>12383486I definitely agree that wulff den is shit and the most performative faggot on youtube
>>12383509He is.A well kept Ryzen 5 laptop from the last 3 years (Zen 3 or Zen 4) and its iGPU (Radeon) can be super thin and light and capable of GameCube emulation and PS2 emulation and all 2D Switch emulation plus MANY 3D Switch games.You get this laptop, well kept used-like new from Facebook Marketplace, for 200-300 USD (some laptops are much better built than others).
>>12383509They all run flawlessly with 3x resolution on my thor.
>>12383492Looks very performative. Can't wait to try it in my RP5 (then I will play some PC 98 or some shit to balance it out)
>>12383505shit can't even emulate SNES properly and the d-pad sucks
>>12383545>PC 98 on a handheldperformative
>>12383554Ok, how about GBA and not playing a Pokemon game?
>>12383589thats fine
>analogue pocket screen refreshes in TATE orientation>game bub resolution only 720x480 so no CRT shaders and non-1:1 resolutions guaranteed to look like shitWhen's there going to be a decent FPGA handheld?

Remind me why we hate him and are we sure it's not just out of jealousy?
So we hate vertical handhelds now? Good
>>12383609What would make it decent?
>>12383625Too positive, he glosses over flaws. His reviews are really product showcases.
>>12383625we don't hate him.
>>12383631The one advantage verts have is packaging, they can be more compact for a given screen size when done right (like the Brick or original Miyoo Mini). But they were always horribly unergonomic for anyone with adult hands, and anything big enough to hold comfortably is big enough to be a horizontal. Verts make good cheap pocket devices, everything else is nostalgia.
>>12383631I loike themAlway ave
every device is good with a grip.Don't be cheap, always get a grip.
>>12383631the 40xxV is nice
>>12383657If a device needs a grip, it was designed wrong. This is the one thing the Logitech G Cloud got right, and something the Portal got wrong, as examples.
>>12383664irrelevant. A grip always improves ergonomics.
when did "performative" become the new buzzwordIm terminally online and I still didnt get the memo
>>12383690When frontends got exposed for being performative and pointless.
>>12383690There are only a handful of regular posters here, so it's easy to force stupid memes.
vertchads just keep gaming and winning while zontcels have a never ending melty. sad
>>12383690Idk I don't browse reddit
>>12383703i use both
>>12383703We need a diagonal handheld
Is it a fair accessment to say people spend 2x the amount of time thinking about and overanalyzing handhelds than they do actually playing them?
>>12383749Yeah but off by orders of magnitude
>>12383753Why do you think that is? Is the idea of retro games just more exciting than the reality of playing them?
/hhg/ - handholding general
>>12383760Which chinkheldtuber would you hold hands with?
>>12383764ashens
>>12383757I think it's just regular hardware autism. Emulation handhelds are the last consumer tech field with innovation, rapid improvements and constant releases. It's fun to pick traits from literal hundreds of devices and imagine the perfect endgame since there is so much variety in chipsets, form factors and prices.

Is watching cartoons performative?
>>12383809no, but watching them while gaming on a 2nd screen is
>>12383809you just know he won't get past pewter city
>>12383306Bought an oled one last spring, then sold it after a few months. I was away for weekends during that time, and I did use it to play some games docked and in handheld. Spent most of my time with it tinkering. Gamecube plays really well on it, SSX3 in handheld was honestly one of best experiences I had on the deck. AC6 on it was pretty impressive. Docked and playing modern games it definitely shows its lack of power, and a lot of the time I would want to play docked if I had a tv around.After I stopped traveling on the weekends, I didn’t touch it once for several weeks then sold it off to a friend once I realized I would not be touching it. To me it’s a compromise, albeit an impressive one that is fun to tinker with, and it served me well temporarily. When I have access to my pc, it’s just far more comfortable to use that. And I already have it hooked up to my TV so I can play in my bed, the lounging aspect of the steam deck is moot for me there. It’s less comfortable to use actually.This, along with my other handhelds, made me realize that I generally don’t like the handheld form factor. It doesn’t really suit my lifestyle or preferences. I also don’t really think there’s many good games designed specifically for handhelds at all, the format is very compromised. At least with the deck you can emulate console games and play some pc games
>>12383809I will never understand people who use dual screen devices like this. Either focus on the game or watch your show, not both.
>>12383837It's probably because they're doing something mindless in the game like grinding or trying to catch a specific Pokemon so they multitask to alleviate the monotony.
>>12383839I will never understand people who"play" games that aren't fun
>>12383839If a game is monotonous, just play something else. Time is too valuable to waste it on something unenjoyable.
>>12383845>>12383842Not him, but you guys never boot up some mindless game just to have something to do with your hands while you listen to a podcast or stuff like that?
Fuck me, what a bunch of fuckin losers in this thread LMFAOI'm going to play some fusion while you rot in this place.

>>12383876the summon night games
>>12383876Didn't read. My go-to is Final Fantasy V

>>12383913>poorfag crying about someone else making moneyhe deserves a commission for advertising
>>12383876What?Other than Mario and Kirby games I don't think the rest of the games are "nintendo-coded" then again I'm not autistic.Is that your fursona?
>>12383909My issue is that if I want to play on a Nintendo console, my game library has to be as identical as possible to the PlayStation and Xbox game libraries.I refuse to play crap like The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, Mario Bros., or any Nintendo franchise in general.
>>12383925Get a PSP instead?
>>12383924The cat boy (in the spoiler image) is Murphy from Murphy and Mitzi.Also, if I'm going to play on a Nintendo console, I need games that make me feel like I'm playing games more typical of PlayStation and Xbox.

>>12383925>hurr heres a challenge! I'm a customer with very specific needs, cater to me!fuck off with this performative crap.
I've had an RG405m for about 6 months, upgrading from the RG351MP and....I'm not crazy about it. The main thing I can't stand are the canted joysticks (xbox style) it really just doens't work for me. It has made racing games pretty much unplayable, having to reach my thumb up to grab the left joystick physically hurts my wrist, I have an attachable grip that makes it a little less bad but that of course kills the form factor. I just preferred the straight across joy sticks (playstation style) on the RG351MP so much more. Is there anything that has about the same power or more power than the RG405M, has straight across joysticks and is easily pocketable. I've been looking at the RG476H and the RG477M but they seem like a big step up in size to the point where I won't feel comfortable throwing them in my jeans pockets. Is there anything the size and power of the RG405M with playstation style sticks that doesn't cost over 300 dollars?
>>12383961Then, ask the store employee if they have any other portable consoles that meet what I'm looking for.>>12383876
>>12383967If you like the RG-351MP and are a metal handheld enjoyer, look at the Pocket Micro. You can get the Antec variant for cheap depending on where you live too.
>>12383632Normal screen orientation and at least 1280x960 resolution
>>12383970A PSP or a vita
>>12383915Oh I will don’t worry, your board is utter trash, I just stopped through. I feel bad for anyone who is a regular here lmao. So little actual discussion and so much autistic shitflinging
>>12383976>>12383929Why would the PSP (Playstation Portable) be the ideal replacement for the GBA?
>>12383973the battery life on this is really bad but if that's not an issue to the other anon then its a solid choice
>>12383984because it shares much more with the PS1 library than a gba?
>>12383984Ok, why do you want to play a Nintendo console when at least 70% of the games worth playing are from Nintendo? (And you hate Nintendo)
>>12384001You know, I've started to realize that Nintendo consoles are definitely not for me.It's also an emulation issue.The Android devices I have are low-end.And the Game Boy Advance is the only handheld console I can perfectly emulate with my potato specs.But like I said, for me to play on a Nintendo console, I need my game library to consist solely of franchises that everyone recognizes and have the aesthetic of games more typical of PlayStation and Xbox (PC doesn't count for me, because PC gaming is a damn piece of garbage).
Bros, what games should I get?Note: I hate video games.
>>12384013Gameboy Camera.
>>12384013the whole 3ds library
>>12384017The 3DS was where Pokémon died as a franchise (for me) and where my hatred for that Pokémon crap grew even more
>>12384018Pokemon was always bad. The only difference is that modern Pokemon games are full of cutscene bloat, while the old games weren't due to technological limitations.
I love my RG40XXH.I just hope that new release of MuOS will appear soon - apparently Arnbernic had a sneaky update of screens in newest batch of consoles and because of that there are issues with sleep mode on custom firmware. Knulli OS already released a patch to deal with it but I'm not a big fan of Knulli...
>>12384013Front ends on your Thor
>>12384020I've tried to be a Pokémon fan, but I always end up falling short.To make matters worse, the damn Fairy type killed the Pokémon franchise for me.
>>12384013I recommend the top 10 Vita games:
>>12384020Pokemon was good in first two generations when it was just a quirky clone of DQ with a neat monster collecting spin.It was not good enough to justify becoming multi-billion dollar monstrosity.
>>123840271) Persona 4 Golden2)
>>12384029Gen 2 is actually when the cancer started. People only like it because carried over so much from gen 1.
>>12384027for me it's the neptunia games, as bad as they are
>>12384030I was making a joke you stupid fuck. But yes, golden is pretty good and I actually like the vita so...> persona 4> Freedom wars> Vanillaware games> Danganronpa series> Neptunia series (maybe)> Soul SacrificeThat's all I can think at the top of my head, bad or not I like them and that's all the matters to me.

>>12382996The design of that thing fucking bothers me so much, making it look like a TV bezel is so fucking cheesy. At least make it look like the turbo express and give it a coherent design, that way it can retain the bubble screen and not be a schizo mess of angles and curves. Looks like shit and super retard-pandering.

>>12383876>>12384008What a bizarre form of autism, I can't help but take this bait.Why do you need to play games that others will recognize? Why is the aesthetic of the games an issue, when you know you have to settle for potato specs?Alien Hominid, Kingdom Hearts, and Klonoa are all titles strongly associated with Playstation. Or do these have incorrect "aesthetics"? Golden Sun and Fire Emblem have advanced gameplay and more grown-up stories. Would they be universally excluded due to the publisher on the box?And I doubt your Android is so low-end to not be able to run PPSSPP. That'll have your God of War and Resistance slop you're asking for.

Anyone "dual booting" Knulli and muOS? I'm trying to figure out how to setup the second SD card correctly to share ROMs and saves between the two.
Besides hopes and prayers is there a way to gage how a device is likely to last?(Without repairs or a battery that runs out in an instant)Which companies, devices, hardware specifics are more reputable in terms of system longevity?I'm not interested in constantly looking for the next shiny new thing, I just want a one and done handheld to reliably play up to ps1 and n64 for the foreseeable future without worrying it will give out in the next 5 years.
>>12385631why tf would you do that?
>>12385651a good brand phone with a controller attachment will last longer than any of these chinkhelds will ever do
>>12385669To easily switch between the two.
>>12385684yeah dumbass im asking why would you want to use both of them on one device
>>12385680Most android chinkhelds literally use the same batteries as those phones/tablets with ayb being the exception because they either purposely use batteries that die in two years or their consumers legit have zero self control
>>12385651Virtually any of them will be fine.You're overthinking it. Unless you're a moron who hamhands his stuff, take care of it and it'll be fine. Just make sure you properly research the device you plan to get so you don't feel the need to upgrade because you don't like the screen or controls or it can't play the games you want.

>>12385743>playing on outdated techthats performative
>>12385260Actually Pico8 is nice for gamedevs. Lets you prototype things fast while focusing on the core of the game (limited characters), so you're actually forced to finish. Once completed it's kinda easy to migrate to other frameworks that use Lua. You could almost copy paste the code, but now you're not limited and can expand the core gameplay in whichever direction. It's pretty neat actually.
>>12385754but...thats the point of retro
>>12385754>He needs more for retroslopDang. I can see why this thread like russ and techdweeb now.
>>12385760now you really exposed yourself as being performative.the point of playing retro games is not "look at me im playin on heckin 90s tech!" the point is to play actual good games. REAL games. Not shitty wannabe Hollywood cgi films made into games because the writers can't condense their garbage into a 2 hour script.
>>12385760Just ignore him and report his posts.
>old as f>still nothing out there that convincingly dethroned it in terms of overall quality and priceWhat did they mean by this?
>>12385763but those games were usually made with old LCD and CRT screens in mind or have some hardware-specific features like link cable

Is the difference between software emulation and FPGA discernible? For those who played with the original consoles, did you ever encounter inconsistencies in software emulation that ruined your experience? You can join this general if you think there's sufficient reason to have its own thread.>>12385730
>>12385770that screen nonsense is bullshit. Go play a game on an old lcd and a new oled for yourself. It doesn't make a difference to the gaming experience to the point where it'd be ruined.
>>12385651Outside of the batteries dying of them taking a tumble off of a table they're very likely not going to just outright die provided you didn't get something under $20. The worst issue you have to deal with is primarily just battery replacements (Something I'm having to deal with with my TrimUI Brick Hammer) outside of clamshells which are the only thing showing any sort of proper wear and tear and only specific models and brands on top of it. I don't think I've seen a single RG34XX-SP or RG35XX-SP that has a cracked hinge for example, and I believe the Miyoo's SP variant has also been fine since it got the refresh.I've currently had my RG35XX-H for about a year or a year and a half now and have had zero issues. Pretty much all of them can be attributed to Knulli bugging out thinking the analog stick was being moved at boot and clears up on a restart. All my other systems are still too new to say anything definitive (RG35XX-SP, RG34XX, and TrimUI Brick Hammer), though my original RG35XX-SP had its entire screw posts disintegrate when I lightly turned the screws to try and apply the dome piercing fix forcing me to get a brand new one. I technically have parts now for when the current one presents issues, but it's basically a screen replacement, button replacements, a motherboard replacement, and a battery replacement.
>>12385768>worst plastic of any chinkheld>screen makes a buzzing noise depending on brightness level>shit buttons

>>12385780do you use knulli on all your linux ones or is there a cfw you prefer?
>>12385778>Is the difference between software emulation and FPGA discernible?My only experience with it is the FPGBC and I can tell you that its solution is currently worse than software emulation solely due to incompetence and refusal to open source it. If they open sourced it all of this would go away. The Analogue Pocket and Chromatic are two mainstream FPGA systems and ever since they've had their updates I've never seen anyone complain about their performance compared to retail machines. Same deal with the MiSTer and supposedly the GameBob is also very good but stupidly expensive for what it is.The Analogue 3D is the thing that has had some pretty harsh scrutiny ever since release but that also can just be updated like the Pocket so I imagine all those issues will disappear over the coming months and years.>>12385793Knulli's what I prefer personally on all of them, yeah. Don't really care for minimalist stuff and two extra seconds of boot time does not bother me.

>>12385805I don't think youtubers had anything to do with it, just the ram shortage probably made people buy them out of fear of price increase
>>12385796If I gave you, for example, SNK Card Fighters Clash to emulate on a Brick, and on the Analogue Pocket, would you be able to tell the difference?
>>12385803>Describes literally every linux chinkheld in existence >>>12385807>Something simple is glossy to muos soidittorsEverytime. And I fucking hate knulli
>>12385817Don't own the Pocket so I can't personally say, but to my understanding most people can't tell the difference, no. It's primarily speedrunners who notice anything or people who run specific stress test roms to see how much it can pass. If I remember right for NES for example one of the emulators is more accurate than even retail hardware and passes more checks than retail hardware does.
>>12385756Yeah it is pretty modular. I see it like what Flash games were in the early 2K, some of them went to become games for GameCube. No one took them serious, but it was an interesting medium that prompted design feats based on its limitations. I have like 30K Pico8 games, it is horrible if you hope to find something specific, most feel like one of those old 90s 9999 Games in 1 hand helds, but they are interesting.
I know very little about handheld emulation but I would like to get into it. There's this specific Sega Saturn game I emulate just fine on PC using Mednafen that would be really important for me to run on the handheld I choose. Now I know Saturn is demanding so I would have to invest on something pricy regardless but as far as I understand handhelds use Yaba Sanshiro for emulation and I checked the compatibility list and the game I want to play doesn't work at all. Does that mean Im completely out of luck(outside the Steamdeck where I could emulate with mednafen just like I do on PC) or is there something I'm missing like an alternative more compatible emulator that works on handhelds or something?Pls no bully I'm new
>>12385828what game is it?
>>12385828For almost 100 percent kinoturn emulation, you need x86.
>>12385753>good brands>replaceable batteriespick one and only oneeither way, lagdroid is shit regardless and will last you a tenth of the time that any random chinkheld that isn't hingeslop
>>12385828Higher end handhelds can run beetle saturn, aka the retroarch version of mednafen. Examples are the Retroid pocket classic, retroid pocket 5, retroid pocket 6, Ayn Odin 2 series, Ayn Thor, etc.
>>12385379Anyone?
>>12385818>>Describes literally every linux chinkheld in existenceThat was exactly my point. I'm not hyping the MM+, I'm saying that it's a relatively old device that hasn't really been improved on in the 'linux chinkheld' space. A few improvements here and there, yeah, but nothing significant.
>>12385838Look up what people said about the Odin2 Portal Base vs Pro. It's basically the same machine but smaller.

whens russ putting out a new video? idc about buying these shits i justl ike to watch him talk about them.
>>12385835Which ones have replaceable batteries? I think an ideal handheld would have this property. This (and the controls) is what gave the Neo Geo Pocket Color the longevity. They still run great to this day, 20+ years later. These companies are completely retarded not to make something similar to picrel.
>>12385854Based munchie youtube watching GOD. For me, it's the Russian with his weird bedtime story intros and wicked gamer.
>>12385854>>12385295
>>12385856Max is interested, but that werid stick kicks him in the balls. He can't replicate it at the moment, but maybe one day
>>12385714Because I can't decide which one to use and I have spare SD cards. I also want to be able to have use one as backup option if the other shits the bed.
>>12385856>Which ones have replaceable batteries? you mean as far as chinkhelds? only the simply fantasik 2000, which can't even run snes
>>12385871Miyoo cuckshit also has one
>>12385871If datafrog gets off their asses and steals a bunch of rk3326's, the sf2000 could rape the r36s and every variant
>>12385862it can be replicated, but not cheaply if that's what you mean. Chinese production around handhelds is based on membrane based controls, Max would probably have to look elsewhere. but there's definitely production lines for microswitches controls (Razer, Asus, Gamesir, etc.). And still, if they just fix the controls, I think they're half way there. The fact that the NGPC takes AA batteries is epic. You'll never run out of juice.
>>12385846I like the MM+ was my first GBC clone. Pretty compact, I just wish it had better plastic, more weight. The colour and shape, size, all is pretty great, and OnionOS is DIAMONDS (the hardest metal on earth). Excellent for PSX downwards, and having WIFI at that price point was a feat, first time I got RetroAchievements, which made the MM+ my play in bed console for RetroAchievements purposes. But I do not trust its build for On The Go, I think it can crack or break easily, it does not feel flimsy.. just... brittle?The problem with it being so compact... and I come from RG28V (whose size is more of a gimmick or real pockability matter)... is that my adult hands need more length to hold its bottom while I play, in that regard RG35XX+ was truly and upgrade, it is bigger, bulkier , but it also feels sturdier, heavier, and it is easier to hold from the bottom while playing... keeping the form factor, because obviously horizontals are more ergonomic, undoubtedly (I am still a Vertical fag for retro purposes - SOVL - )
>>12385871the original powkiddy v90 uses standard BL-5C
>>12385872How could forget the v90 and every other pocketgo clone with their infinite supply of nokia batteries
>>12385878I feel the same, horizontals detract the soul of the 8-bit/16-bit era. They don't feel like they belong in the same world, except for the NGPC.
>>12385872Yeah, pretty accessible too, you only need to open it with you fingernail like a TV Controller. No screwdrivers needed. The cable and connector is PRETTY FLIMSY THO, so be very careful while disconnecting it from the board (just dont be tweaking on coffee, or anxious, do it slowly and firmly with the right tweezers). Simply Fantastic 2K is the one that pretty much has regular TV Controller styled batteries that fit snugly into the contact points and need no securing to the board. >>12385875This. Absolutelly this, all the way. The SNES controller form factor is one I really would like to have if the chip was better, or int he case of Anbernics if it wasnt so expensive. But yeah, Everything about SF2000 is simply.... Fantastic, it only needs a Chip upgrade. Oh forgot to add, Anbernic has the best buttons. I wish my anbernic devices had a replaceable battery to emulate the 90s feeling of taking the batteries out to charge them or change them, like the SF2000 did.
Is Simply Fantastic actually what the SF stands for or is it just a meme
>>12385901no, it's simply fantastik, you illiterate blind daft and dumb nigger

>>12385910Sure. It also has tons of clones now.
>>12385917Do the clones also use the same kind of swappable battery?

>>12385876It was actually done twice. The few in china that owned a neogeo x said the clicky stick was pretty good and there was a limited all metal 3566 that had a clone of the ngp's clicky stick with six face buttons. I think max just thinks he can't do it right.

>>12386126I got hinge'd and couldn't be bothered to ask for a replacement shell I wish there was one with the build and screen quality of the 34xx sp and the screen size and buttons of the miyoo flip

>>12386125I had a small aneurysm looking at that.. thing
>>12386012no way fag.i have a trimui model s and love it, but it can't use the smart main menu because they use different arm cpu versions.but minui on the model s is great, i use that instead.i bothered modding the main menu of the smart only because minui on the smart is too limited, cutting many of its functions like wifi, bluetooth and menu+L/R combo to emulate L2/R2.
>>12386125>press the X button
Redpill me on the vertical(non-clam) vs horizontal situation

>>12385828Name the game, despite the insufferable schizo ritualposting niggers you see here, a few of us got mid-highend chinkhelds. Oh, and if you can provide a save that'd be good too, that way we know how it performs past the early game.
>>12386058the trimui model s and smart makes me happy.it's fun playing games in small devices (that are still big enough to be usable, unlike shit like the funkey, thumby or rg nano).

All these Anons being.. Excessively Performant about their Retro Hand Helds...
>>12386125this but with the dpad on top and the screen being detachable would be endgame
Does the RG35XX H run Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask well? I think those are the only "more demanding than psx" games Id be interested in playingIf so I'm probably getting that but by all means let me know if for the low price there's better option out there
>>12386331Not by emulating, the linux ports run though
>>12386331you shouldn't be allowed on this board if you haven't played oot yet.
>>12386331RG34XXSP does the ports just fine, through Portmaster and CDRomances hash verified ROMs. But I got the 2GB RAM version, I bet it has something to do with good performance, but maybe it is really not that demanding without the Emulator overhead. I mean, it does Nintendo64 fine except for some glitches in prerenders and some modes, but in general gameplay is fullspeed, I imagine a decompiled version runs smoother by default.
>>12386336Oh man :( How noticeably different are the ports?>>12386340Dude wtf. I meant those are the only games I care enough about to want to replay from time to time when I'm away from the computer how was that not clear. Im never emulating a game I never played on a handheld unless it's like some Gameboy stuff that was actually always meant to be handheld.
>>12386354That one got my attention but the screen size and that weird chunk of plastic above the screen gave me the ick. Sucks because I do prefer clamshells to horizontals
i wish these chinks would use ps2 style analog buttons for R2/L2 instead of putting full analog triggers.They ruin pocketability, feel flimsy and are unnecessary for most retro games.

the 'performative' pic was an insult, why didn't it HURT you guys?
>>12386118Honestly it's the BEST handheld I've ever owned. I've had phones with telescopic controllers, gb pocket, gbc, gba, gba sp, sega gg, ds, ds lite, psp, vita fat, vita slim, 3ds, 3ds xl, new 3ds, switch lite, switch oled and rg556. Nothing compares to the comfort of the soft and quiet buttons it's like a japanese company would've made it instead of a chink. BUT it's better to install a custom OS because battery drains like cray with stock and even then some custom OS are not that great so you have to make your own research. I've had to configure the cpu otherwise it tries to draw 1ghz just to play gba which it's ridiculous.On top of that that "clack" noise when you open it i hate it and it's fixable with glue so I'll do that one of these days. So it's basically a glass-cannon underdog and i fuckin love it. It's like a 6/10 wife that has a perfect hips to thighs ratio and a perfect innie and pink butthole and deepthroats without even trying. Not that you guys know how any of that feels anyway. Yes, it's that good. Faggots.https://youtu.be/BxqYUbNR-c0?si=tznbpADkinEWasEi
>>12385805If I had to guess, it was the Cube and controller bringing the spotlight back on the company and/or other PC handhelds becoming more popular

>>12386525I genuinely enjoy it for isometric and even top down titles, the only titles I don't enjoy with an analog stick are sidescrollers, though maybe with an actual joystick, truly retro style, it can be done.
>>12386482Yep, nothing more crushing than finding an arcade game that runs perfect until it doesn't.

>>12386653No one actually feels that strongly against frontends, this is forced outrage. ************, even.
>>12386668Frontends always lock good options out though, especially shaders. They'll do some shit like have 3 options "HD" which is some supereagle shit, "CRT" which is literally just black lines across the screen with no filter and "sharp" which is just unfiltered uneven pixels.
>>12386669I do, they are all ugly and performative as fuck. I do not want to see screenshots of games I already want to playals gamma has no color correction shader for drastic so his scaling shaders for ds look awful and oversaturated

>>12386753You bought Magic X?
>>12386816I am a Thorqueen now, but close enough, sis.
>>12386316Which redmagic is only $500?
Why are these shithelds so much more expensive on Amazon(Europe at least)? I just can't be arsed to make an account on another store but I also can't stand to overpay knowing there are way better deals someplace else. At this rate I'm just gonna keep overthinking and not play anything

>>12386331You're not playing N64 games on anything under $100 with any sense of normalcy or without frame drops. You have to use Ship of Harkinian 1 and 2 for OoT and MM respectively if you want to actually play it which are the decompilation projects you can get via Portmaster.>>12386356>How noticeably different are the ports?Everything that changes it from the N64 version is optional, you don't need to use them. It's primarily 30 FPS instead of 20 FPS (Or even higher if you want), higher resolutions without stuff looking bad, gyro controls, right stick controlling the camera and having free camera, d-pads being hotkeys, native randomizer and romhack support, etc.
>>>/v/733061318Alright, which one of you was this?
>>12386984That was meCheers
>>12386816magic x are the least performative brand you stupid fucking performative faggot
>>12387104Uh oh, performelty just outed himself as a fake male
>>12387153magic x won, and you lost, go be performative somewhere else
>>12387182if only their quality control could win too
>>12387182Won what, the Doing Laundry award?
the xu-10 and zero 28 are kino, can't say the rest of their stuff grabs me though
>>12387273what do you like about the zero 28?
>>12387281mainly because it feels good, like a fat trimui smart. I also don't hate Dawn OS, tabbing over with the shoulder buttons is easy, and its reasonably powerful for a mini device.but yeah mostly because there's nothing about it I hate
>>12387294does it feel comfortable to play on? ive been wanting to get a smaller chinkheld
>>12387303I have one, I mostly play chill games on it that don't require too vigorous button pressing because it starts to cramp after like 30 mins, but I only ever play it for around that long because it's my to go handheld I play while waiting in my car

Performative glass fronts.
Why would I spend $250 on a retro handheld when I can spend $200 more an get a steam deck
>>12387862No one is telling you what to buy, just buy whatever you want
Is having a joystick important to play og Playstation? Iirc the original controller didn't even have joysticks
>>12387864These entire threads are literally just nerds shouting at each other telling them what to buy.
>>12387895thor.
>>12387891Depends if you plan on playing games that uses it like Ape Escape.
>>12387681way ahead of you.
>>12387862As an old man with a family, large and small handhelds serve entirely different purposes.Big/PC handhelds are great when you have the rare hour of leisure time. But you're not realistically going to carry one around, or try to play peacefully when kids are nearby. That's where the small handhelds are great. They're cheap, pocketable, and easy to jump into for 10-15 minutes. They also "feel better" for consoles designed for smaller displays, such as the gameboy variants.

What is up with these Performances by people pretending to like something just to be "hip", to be "in"... Am I wrong tho? You enter a Mall, and Airport, and first thing that strikes you as out of place is an Adult Autist Man dressed like a 17yo Brazilian fiddling with some Chinese Device? I mean.. WHAT IS WRONG WITH THESE PEOPLE, AM I RIGHT!? WAAAAANGDOOONG!
>>12388116cope what? there's literally no point in using retroarch on stronger android handhelds
>>12388121>there's literally no point in using retroarch on stronger android handheldscap
Okay so if I just wanna play up to playstation and gba(as I understand any piece of junk can run those), what should I get that's good enough quality without being needlessly overkill in power(and therefore needlessly pricey)?
>>12388158Favorite form factor?FFF666
>>12388158
>>12388162Horizontal or clam. Preferably no bricks. Might be worth mentioning I don't care for joysticks, not a big deal if included but only so long as they don't get in the way at all>FFF>666I don't know what that means
>>12388165This is peak comfy
>>12388169Gaminja GC76
>>12388169If you just want a good-enough horizontal without spending too much, one of these >>12388007 is your best bet. If you want to spend about triple what an XX device is worth, you can get an Android horizontal instead.Alternatively, although it's not the formfactor you're looking for, the TrimUI Brick is the real best option because it has a far better display than just about anything else in the same price range (and no sticks either).
ANSWER ME >>12388069
>>12388069depends on plastic quality, as always
Now that the Retroid 2S is dead(RIP), what's the certified de facto can't go wrong beginner handheld??

>>12388356>NileswanHasn't there been flashcarts for it before?What makes this one special?
>>12388368Problem is that I watch like 5 videos of his in a row
>>12388337This handheld is not performative enough for him

>>12385768We should still be playing GBA games today, none of this DS bullshit and everything that came after.
>>12388158Some anbernic RGXX flavor if you want to save moneyOr get a RP5 if you want something that is legit good and not too expensive
>>12387839Almost maybe 2% of my total library...wow!
Just.......use your phone? They even have shit like gamesir or mcon if you need buttons that badly and desperately want to carry around more cheap plastic.
>>12388779Behold, a handheld!
>>12388165What the fuck is this lmao. Looks like one of those Fisher price fishing toys
>>12388779>gamesar
>uhmmm you only like verts because of nostalgia :^)no shit dumbass why are we playing retro games in the first place? I will continue enjoying my sleek modern GBC while you fiddle around with ergonomic but ugly as sin, childish looking horislops that arent pocketable and embarrassing to use in public
>>12388779I used to feel this way too but the problem is having a wide ass phone display plus controller is dogshit for the 95% of good retro games that use 4:3 or nearly square aspect ratio. gen 6 with widescreen hacks or psp games work great on a phone but playing anything actually retro sucks dick unless youre playing it vertical with touch screen buttons, which also sucks dick. a real handheld is 10x comfier, simple as, and this is coming from someone who used to get shit on in this thread for claiming my s23 ultra as the ultimate emu machine.
>>12389187>no shit dumbass why are we playing retro games in the first place?Because they're better than modern games.
