How many roms do you have loaded into your main handheld? How selective are you when curating your game collection?
Can't decide between the Miyoo Mini Flip and the Brick, which should I get?
>>12506103neither. mini flip is too small and verticals suck
>>12506103The Miyoo Mini devices are ewaste.
>>12506103Brick if you're going with just one. The Mini Flip is cute though. I have two.
>>12506143>I have twojustify yourself
>>12506150He has two hands
>>12506150I can afford a backup
Do these work with Joycons? I like spreading my arms out while playing my Switch.

>>12506239brb sawing open 6 PlayStations and 7 GameCubes
>>12506220AYN Thor can play all of these plus Deadly Silence and the Switch version of 4,5,6,0,Revelations and Revelations 2.
>>12506298Oh and Mercenaries 3D.
>>12506298and how many of them have you played on yours?
>>12506304I'm waiting on Shipment 5.
>>12506298The Revelations games worth playing? Finished RE4 on my Switch and kinda want more.
Is the My Arcade Pac-Man Pocket Player Pro any good
>>12506083When it's a Chinkheld....like 1KWhen I download my own, like 15 at the most.
>>12506298Sorry but the buttons are too loud when sitting in a quiet room. Too clicky.
>>12506370How do they compare to Joycon clickiness/sound?

>>12506220As with most vague questions about handhelds, the answer is usually the steamdeck
will the magic x two dream save chinkhelds?
>>12506298>AYNMost people don't want a handheld made by an unknown company with 0 QC.
>>12506220a wii u and play on the gamepad.>but that is not a handheldnot like you leave your house, stupid neet.
>>12506071I'm still loving my Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 and IPEGA PG9083s setup, it's not much, but for the price I payed for both it's great, the tablet doesn't run anything past PS1 too good, but does PS1 mostly fine, and the controller doesn't have the best directional pad, but again it's fine considering it was dirt cheap. I just finished Altered Beast with 3 lives and 3 HP for the 1st time, before I could only do it with everything maxed out, I did use continues aswell because I'm a filthy casual, I'll admit that.What are you guys currently playing through and/or what did you beat recently? What handheld are you currently using?
>>12506626finished Dawn of Sorrow on the RG DS, good stuff
Tfw I have been thinking about getting a new device but I have nearly finished my backlog so I feel it would be pointless
>>12506626Google Pixel 3 + IPEGA 9087S. I'm currently using it for PSP and PS1 emulation, both of which it can run at 1080p. But a year ago I was playing DC and NDS.I got the phone for 115€ refurbished and the controller for 15€. It's pretty good value considering I used it as my main phone for a couple of years before repurposing it into a handheld.
>>12506687I have been using a gamesir controller with my phone for years but now the stick started drifting
Shit I really wanted to play n64 blast corps properly on my chinkheld but I don't think there is a way>glide/parallel render fine but using the backlash lags like hell>rice is just shit>all the others are smooth but many 2d assets are completely black, including the world mapHelp me /vr/ what can I fiddle with
>>12506693I'm not sure how old my ipega controller is, probably 6 years now. I haven't experienced any stick drift, but the fucker has very strong cardinal snapping.
>>12506671>>12506687What do you use to emulate DS games? I used to use Drastic but it was inaccurate for many games I tried and had bugs or wrong speed so I switched to MelonDS which was more accurate but more demanding
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uuWkJqD05l8looks crap>>12506717Drastic, the only game I've ever had trouble with is Hotel Dusk for some reason, but it also plays up when I try it on DS emulators on PC
>>12506717I always used Drastic on my Pixel 3 and it worked fine for the games I wanted to play.Is there a game that's very demanding in it's opening segment? I'm looking at the Batocera benchmark guide and for the NDS it says>High-end (Pokemon Diamond/Pokemon Pearl/Solatorobo The Red Hunter)I really doubt a Pokemon game would be the most demanding thing on the platform. Still, I just tried it out and I'm getting a stable 60fps with the default software renderer and an LCD filter enabled. OpenGL at 3x scaling also gets stable 60fps (but there's some visual artifacts). Both can be sped up to 170%-200% speed, so there's plenty of headroom I assume.
>>12506748hmmm... I was kind of skeptic about it, but I kinda dig this pocket watch format? It's not enough for me to buy one right now, but I'll keep it in mind. Also it all depends on how resistant is screen cover.
>>12506748Pointless but neat
Which emulation flip handhelds are the most durable/realiable ?
>>12506952Anbernic
>>12506708there's a reason why people use FPGAs for N64, or make recomps64 emulation is just decent at best even on better hardware
how has the mupen core's parallel renderer not been fixed on android yet? it's been like 5 years
>>12506952Anbernic, but you need to do the button fixes on the RG35XX-SP because the domes get pierced, and depending on what model you get you either need to do d-pad + buttons or just buttons.
>>12506220Steamdeck easily
>>12507186>Anbernic>except this model that is absolutely not durable or reliable
>>12507286Their hinges so far are the sturdiest out of any of them and their build quality is pretty solid in general. The Miyoo Flip already has a bad reputation for its hinges and the Mini as far as I know has had a few complaints about it. If you want to get the inferior RG34XX-SP then you don't even have to worry about the dome piercing at all since it's fixed there, it just has the crappy looking upper portion of it and sticks on a system that does not need sticks.
Why do you own so many handhelds? You only need 1.
>>125073272 is actually the number. Big one for home, small one for travel.
>>12507327I have 2. A more compact one for lightweight games / older consoles, and a Steam Deck.
>>12507327Why are you posting on 4Chan? You dont need to.Why are you wearing clothes? You could just wear a burlap sack.Why do you eat tasty food? Taste isn't a need.Etc etc

>>12507309>Their hinges so far are the sturdiest out of any of themPowkiddy, but assuming there's nothing wrong with the rgds's hinge, they finally met their match.
>>12507327Because I can
How do ergos compare between RG477M and RG466H? Can't decide which to get.
>>12507524They're basically the same but the M model is noticeably heavier so technically it's less ergonomic.
Perfection.

>>12507581Do you seriously not use bluetooth in 2026?
>>12507573Is this one of the handhelds that burst into flames if you use your phone charger on it?
>>12507581im not into gimmicks
>>12507581what's the point? the size change of a clamshell without the angle adjusting and screen protecting qualities. plus a swivel systems that can't be trustedwhat are the positives besides "it looks somewhat cool and unique sorta maybe"?
>>12507614you can use the touch screen like a phone or an Ipod without revealing the physical buttons
>>12507585do you know where you are?
>>12507585>300ms audio delayhmmmmmmmmmmmmmm nyo
>>12507585Considering it looks like an iPod, a headphone jack would be a decent selling point for a lot of people.

>>12507720the ergos look awful
>>12507585I do but I wouldn't use it for gaming.
>>12507720Who is making this?
rg34xx is based for throwing in my bag and playing games with my coworkers on pc monitor and ps4 controllera
>>12507735Magic X i think. Vintage control mini.
>>12507362>Am I crazy, or does that not have a headphone jack?I think you're right, it looks like they're using USB C wired headphones in the clip. They made sure to include a lanyard hole tho
>>12506748POWKIDDY ODT...I am forgottor...
Is there a list of vertical wonderswan games?
Reminder that Miyoos first handheld had this many revisions.
>>12507720That one was shown around a year ago. Like most MagicX renders, they just made a 3D model to check interest, but it's not happening.
>>12507581>That opening jinglekino
>>12507963Yeah I already found that list, and a few of those aren't vertical games, so I don't trust it at all. There have to be more than that, right?
>>12507967There are, yeah. Deleted my post for that reason. I scanned through some VGL vids and saw more than what I had posted. I'd recommend doing the same, since it's pretty obvious which ones have a TATE mode as you fast forward.
>$125-150 budget, prefer used>Plays PS2 games (Radiata Stories, Rogue Galaxy, Front Mission 5)>Never had anything AMOLED, don't have anything to compare>Needs SFC color buttons because autismRP4 Pro? RP Mini v2? RG476H? RG477M? Hack my Switch?

Can anyone recommend me a shader that comes with MuOS to use for PSX on anbernic devices? I prefer a lighter crt effect. I'm playing dragon quesrt 4.

why does my odin 2 portal tracking show the year 2022? Should I be worried?
>>12507996used RP4P are often overpricedit has the worst screen 476h has a nice screen but it is not powerful enough to play ps2 flawlessly but I think there is a build of nethersx2 that works really well with the chipset but its still not 100% there for some games477m you are never going to acquire for 150
Anyone know how to fix the power/sleep button for the magicx 40? Nigga sticks like you wouldn't believe, not sure if it needs more height or something
bought odin 2I paid for DHLbut they sent me yunexpress trackingwhy are they ripping me off?
>>12508401looks like they got their DHL contract suspended for undervaluingmotherfuckers now its going to take forever to arrive
>>12507581>>12507585>>12507642it's so they can sell you it again this time with an audio jack, oled, and something worse than the original
>>12507996>PS2 gamesRG477M if you can actually find one used for $150. Although the RG557 is better in terms of ergonomics and performance. The M model is apparently slightly underclocked because it's metal.>>12507642>modern BT>audio delayYou're retarded.
Does the Thor actually live up to the hype? When it came out I heard some complaints about input lag and the touchscreen not being as good as the stylus but I haven't heard any complaints lately. Should I spring for it? I'm still using my original 3DS
>>12508739I don't see much of a reason to bother if you have a 3ds
Guys, I haven't been paying attention. Have the RAM and storage price hikes affected handhelds? Maybe I was too late to the Thor meme and it's now twice the price? Not that I'd really need one to be honest. My DSi LL is doing fine with retro emulation, but I'm just curious. I obviously missed on buying a 3DS when they were cheap for example. Curious if it will get even worse.
>>12508739The specs are pretty good, but AYN is known for shoddy quality control. The 12GB and 16GB models are not worth it since they don't really impact the number of games you can play (at least right now since Android versions of Proton, aka GameNative/GameHub/Winlator, are still not good and Switch games are playable on the 8GB model).>>12508750It's fine if he wants to play even more games on a single handheld and if he wants a much better display. See pic>>12508763>Have the RAM and storage price hikes affected handhelds?Yes. RG-34XXSP has gone down from 2GB to 1GB RAM. Some higher end x86 devices had to increase their prices by $100-$500, although those usually have 16GB-64GB RAM. The only thing that's not affected are the devices that have already been manufactured and are available in warehouses.Future low end and mid range chinkhelds ($50-$300) could be relatively unaffected since they're usually in the range of 500MB to 8GB RAM. But I'd still expect them to be 5%-25% more expensive depending on how much memory they have.
>>12508778>had to increase their prices by $100-$500gaddam
wtf? is it really that complicated to set up one of these devices?
>>12508750Mostly for the better battery life and to have DS games and other older systems look better. Also to keep my 3DS is decent condition, my A button is getting a little mushy so I don't want to abuse it too much more.I was considering buying another 3DS that I won't have to worry about abusing but the Thor has me intrigued even though it's a bit more expensive I am not rolling the dice on a used 3ds especially if the Thor is good or maybe even better >>12508778I'd probably just go for the 8GB version if it can run 3DS well as I'm not too interested in modern titles on it as I have my PC for those and I wouldn't be bothered messing around with configurating to get things to run but maybe that means the Thor isn't for me idk
>>12508930russ has the tech tism and the compulsion to maximize ad revenue
>>12508930Russ's videos are always 3x longer than what another person needs to get the same point across.
>>12508931>I'd probably just go for the 8GB version if it can run 3DS wellThe bottleneck in 3DS emulation is the CPU power and the maturity of the emulators. Even 2GB RAM would be enough for 3DS emulation.I'm not sure if the "Lite" version (which has a slightly weaker CPU) is as capable of 3DS, but the "Base" model definitely is according to all YouTube gameplay videos I've seen. You'll just have shader compilation stutters which only affect first playthroughs.
>>12508739>When it came out I heard some complaints about input lag and the touchscreen not being as good as the stylus but I haven't heard any complaints lately.Nothing has changed on that front. The touch screen feeling will never be the same because it's functionally a different technology entirely which is why you need a much bulkier and different stylus. The games will always fundamentally feel different to playing on a real DS or 3DS.The input lag is still there and so far hasn't been addressed outside of the actual button input side of things so anything that requires you to use the touch screen longer than one second will become unplayable meaning any FPS games like Metroid Prime: Hunters or Dementium: The Ward, The World Ends With You, all the Trauma Center games, EBA and Ouendan, Ninja Gaiden DS, Rhythm Heaven, both DS Zelda games, and more are simply not playable in any realistic degree.3DS emulation also sucks and has ever since its inception because of shader caching being a major issue tied to it causing visual and performance issues, the emulators constantly keep getting taken down by Nintendo so they have to keep picking up the pieces with new projects leading to them never being able to fully optimize it, and having visual or performance issues that never existed on a 3DS even when you get past the shader caching stuff. 3DS emulation is more mature than Vita emulation, but they're both not great at all unless your only plan is to play Pokemon really.All that's really been addressed has been the screen desyncing on the Thor and RG DS. Past that you're getting a Thor more for the DS, 3DS, and Wii U side of things and only for stuff that doesn't rely on the touch screen for anything more than menuing.
>>12509049There are mods that change the zelda games to button and stick controls
>>12509080Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that if you want to play them as intended they're unplayable.
>>12509049So it's still worth just getting a 3ds over it, is what you're saying
>>12509083Depends if you are fine with putting up with games not being playable at all that would be on the DS or 3DS and dealing with constant shader compilation. The main benefit would be Wii U really.
>>12508163 >Retroid will most likely return to ips for the next one Good.>>12508739It's a good device with drawbacks. It doesn't have the precision of a resistive touch screen. The top lid is super thin and the hinge isn't 100% trustworthy. You have to use the carrying case or you risk braking the top screen. The ergonomics aren't very good compared to normal horizontal handhelds. The OLED panels have some image retention issues and are pentile. But it's a good emulation device overall.
MagicX is cancelled
>>12509091Seems reasonable
>>12509049Linux on thor fixes all the latency
why android lags so much?
>>12509135No. It improves it by an amount that makes normal games more viable to play. Neither the Thor nor the RG DS fix the input latency on the touch screen when in Rocknix/Knulli for inputs that are longer than a second. When Rocknix came out people were testing Canvas Curse I think it was and showed it's still not even close to being there yet.I'd love for someone to actually make a proper video on Rocknix that actually shows touch screen games for an extended period of time, not stuff like RGC does that are non-touch screen-focused because it gives people the wrong impression on the system.
>>12509141Because it's bloated as fuck. It runs better when you have custom versions that get rid of a lot of that bloat.
>>12509147I honestly don't think a lot of these youtubers care about the DS at all. They never really ever mentioned the DS or 3DS in their roundups of comparison videos when they were really good value and price competitive with other handhelds and the best way to play dual screen games, with a big collection they should have pretty much always come up as they themselves should have just had one in their rotation. Their Thor reviews even long term reviews barely touched on the touchscreen for DS games which through normal play if they actually played DS games should have come up as either a positive or negative, even if they don't play them it should have been a big focus on them trying out various touch heavy games to show it offI know it's a joke that retro handheld enthusiasts don't play games but I actually believe it now
>>12509185Even in Wulff Den's review he wouldn't shut up about the Steam aspects of it instead of talking about what people actually want it for (DS, 3DS, Wii U). Hell, pretty much every review I've seen almost never even touches on how well it does on Android games despite having the capability of playing the big gachas for example.
