stop making new threads so early you fat fucking retard
Why do other 'helds have much better battery than the good ol deck?
i fomo boughted a 3rd RP6. i already have 2 12gb ones
Im so glad i got the thor
>>12435719>GCW ZeroThat's a throw-back.Anbernic cloned it to make their RG350 back in 2019, and it was one of the last big handhelds to use an Ingenic MIPS processor iirc.Since it was a clone, it was compatible with the small amount of homebrew and the emulators made specifically for the GCW Zero, the device itself using OpenDingux firmware continuing from support for the Dingoo A320.GCW Zero had the ambitions of reviving the GP2X scene, but didn't really pull it off. It had a mini HDMI port, but TV-out functionality was never successfully implemented.
>>12436060Gamekiddy and miyoo cloned the zero too. Gk350 (heh) which I think was the first metal chinaheld and the pocketgo 2
>>12436089I had the Pocket Go 2, I wished it was better but the build quality just wasn't there.I had the plastic one first, and then the metal one. I don't get the appeal of metal handhelds, they end up feeling uncomfortably warm. I had the same problem with the RG351M.
>>12435772Because the steam deck is x86 and most handhelds are ARM
Specs aside, which is the comfyest 'held? Grips don't count
>>12436132RG ARC
>>12436132You'll give me shit for this but the RG477V is fucking comfy. The raised screen makes it perfect for playing in bed and I don't get pins and needles in my hands like I do with horizontals for some reason.
>>12436089Cute but dated
>>12436614I'm convinced people who hate on "ergonomics" of verts have never actually held one. They are pretty much always thicker and the sticks are close together AND the buttons are close together for your thumbs. It was really funny hearing dweeb predict he was going to hate it, and then actually ended up loving it once he got his hands on it.No game I have ever cared about was built for 16:9 and holding a 200mm wide console is like playing on a pizza box. It's like you're going to break the thing in half because your hands are the next state over from each other. I just want to have my hands close to the center like a normal gamepad jfc. Why did the PSP become the meta for good ergonomics?
>>12436735>RG477V>trigger buttons constantly pressed when playing anything that doesn't require them>opps accidental speedup and deathI will not fall for this shitty forced fomo ever again.
>>12435719what is the point of buying more than one of these things? you people need HELP
If I want a dedicated device just to play Gameboy/Gameboy Color should I go with a vertical brick or at the end of the day the form factor of a horizontal is still better no matter what?
>>12437008Skill issue>>12437034This would be great advice if you could rent these devices for free. But you can't. To know what you like and don't like, you need to try them out first, and that means buying them
>>12437045Vertical (or clamshell if you are into that, SP was a clamshell)
Someone gave me a free Gameforce Ace.Dunno what to do with it.
>>12437034One for each hand, duh.
>>12437049the only skill issue is you retards falling for the fomo
tried applying car vinyl on my N3DS panels
>>12437126Looks great.
My RG28XX is hitting false diagonals on the southwest corner. The problem has slowly gotten worse, and now Tetris-type games are nearly unplayable. Any fixes that I can implement as a retard with no console modding experience?
I've had an rgb30 for about a year now and it's absolutely great for a budget device, especially for snes, ps1, and with its square screen, pico-8. I've been considering getting a rg cube to exigent the number of systems i can emulate and did the stacked shoulder buttons as opposed to inline, but it's an android device instead of Linux so I'd have to give up native pico-8. Would it still be a reasonable upgrade?
>>12436735The PSP sitting at 170mm felt alright and it was still pocketable. The handhelds that are the size of a Switch Lite, that's where I agree.
>>12437049>This would be great advice if you could rent these devices for free. But you can't. To know what you like and don't like, you need to try them out first, and that means buying themWeird how this has never been an issue for any legitimate console from Nintendo/Sony/etc. Nobody ever went online and made hour long videos about the feeling of the trigger buttons on your index fingers or the hinge squeak on the Nintendo DS and then bought a PSP instead because it bothered them so much It's an issue with the demographic being autistic people, not with the actual consoles.
>>12437402>Nobody ever went online and made hour long videos about the feeling of the trigger buttons on your index fingers or the hinge squeak on the Nintendo DS and then bought a PSP instead because it bothered them so much because chinkhelds have shitty build qualtity, all of them
Any good ones with a sega styled dpad?
>>12437440rg arc
>>12437034I have hundreds of these (I will not stop)
>>12437408Almost as if consolecattle aren't human. 3DSfags will fight you over its ergonomics and the circle pad to this very day, PSPfags/Vitards will tell you no L2/R2 is acceptable, you even have GBAfags advocating for getting scalped on extremely bad quality displays.
>>12437313sigh... when will chinks just copy the psp form factor directly
>>12437440just RG ARC really, for some reason 8 directional d-pads are a niche which sucks. I would prefer a console with 4 action buttons and 8 directional d-pad
>>12437473>>12437563The RG Cube and RG406H have sega styled d-pads too and are more powerful than the Arc.
>>12435719> 2026> Best Handheld I have ever boughted RG34XXSP is pretty sweet, and could take its place, but am still unsure
>>12437607both are messed up by the analog tumors
>>12437621Green 34xx looks so good, if only GBA games didn't suck so bad.
>>12437556>Xhe thinks Xhe's not keksolegoycattle with extra chink stepsKekyPOW! Phonetards are the only chads in the portable space.>>12437563Gpd did those style of dpads in the past, but switched to the standard 4 directions starting with the xd
>>12437563>>12437473How about the Game Kiddy Bubble? Or the RG Cube XX? Not much difference? I'm not sure if I'd need the 6 face buttons, but this ARC seems nice enough
>>12437693CubeXX has false diagonals
>>12437710thx fren, i'll be on the lookout for a cheap Arc then
>>12437715idk I heard the Arc isn't great eitherBut it should be good enough for megadrive and the usual "PS1 and below" stuff
What are the handheld saturn emulators worth a damn and where can I find compatibility lists for them? I only have pc experience with mednafen and ssf
>>12437798mednafen inside retroarch is called bettle saturn and is the same thing. Doesn't run on sub $150 trash tho, on the cheap trash your options are yabause and yabasanshiro
>>12437806So if I can perfectly emulate a game on pc using mednafen is it guaranteed it will also work on beetle saturn so long as the handheld's specs are powerful enough?
