should I get 2 hhc yarts or a miyoo mini plus
>>12532059Neither
>>12532054>Handy Handheld info - https://handhelds.wikiLiterally just R36S referral links of thirdies
I have an 35xx Pro. I occasionally attach it to the TV. Unfortunately my Xbox controller doesn't work with it and unpairing the switch one when I want to play a retro game is annoying. What gamepad would you recommend for it? Is 8bitdo Lite 2 good? How about Neo S?
is it possible to install shanghai genso network on 35xx pro?
>>12532217You MIGHT be able to with wine, but you'll most likely have better luck asking portmaster devs if it's possible to port over.
the dweeb has spoken, it's over for the steam d-ACKhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RdtyhRMQq5g
>>12532272Why does dweeb keep making these kind of videos when even people who like gamehub native winwhatever say they're not replacements? Like, eta's a bigger shill for this stuff and even he doesn't go this far.
>>12532275he has to keep putting out content to stay relevant, that's why he's got 10 "coffee break games" and "15 more gba hidden gems" videos for every 1 real one
Trimui clamshell will save this hobby
>>12532307buying shit isn't a hobby
>>12532320That's almost every hobby though
My Miyoo Mini fell 2 feet onto carpet and permanently damaged the screen.
>>12532272>ASSymetrical sticksNo thanks.
why are unity games so fucking ass on winlator
>>12532374Unity and UE5 games are ass in general.
>>12532367lol
>>12532072>Literally just R36S referral links of thirdiesAre you blind? It has device info and cfw links e.g.https://handhelds.wiki/Magicx_XU10
>handheld buttons start going bad>didn't even use it that much>have spare membranes but too lazy to replace themI'll just go back to telescopic controllers, their buttons are higher quality on the average, and phones can play more games.
>>12532497That's another R36S clone. You're proving my point.And yes they do have some newer devices as well but the focus is on RK3326 trash.
>>12532510Unless you had a linux handheld, they play the same shit. Get the gamesir g8, btw
In this thread we all love our friend Russ from Retro Game Corps
>>12532512Vertislops with 3326's clones of r36s's not all does not make. All the 3326 chinkhelds are clones of the odroid afterall.
>>12532275He's just clickbaiting and being retarded. Like how he shilled a preloaded microsd card for Miyoo trash, or when he recommended the Retardoid G2 instead of mentioning that for the same price the 6 was already announced.
>>12532526the g2 is better than the RPoo6
>>12532515I got a X5 Lite, should arrive tomorrow.
Gamenative runs Zero games on Snapdragon 5
>>12532374At the end of the day, it and gamehub are just modded to hell exagear. I was surprised to see the Odin 3 runs signalis the same speed as g99 phones.
Ayn thor
Where's the retard with the AI slop and the guy who posts about his tablet then?
>>12532758don't forget the spic
>>12532516he's dead to us after that embarrassingly shit favorite game list
My thor just shipped.... and I was thinking of canceling my order lmaoGuess I'm stuck with it now
>>12532794What's your favorite game?
>>12532823just flip it to a retard willing to pay double
>>12532512The xu 10 isn't a r36 clone, why are you still lying?
>Confirmed!>We're preparing these items for shipping.>Apr 17
Has any of you put Rocknix on an Android handheld? Turned it into a handheld Steam Deck?
Why is ES-DE the only Android frontend that makes all your rom folders for you to save you time in the arduous tinkering process?
>>12532990>bloats your system with 6 gorrilion shitty systems no one cares for Nothing personnel kid
>>12533016how small is your SD card that empty folders are cratering your storage space
this thing rocks
>>12533032Retroid ranch really rocks
>>12532825meet and fuck kingdom
>>12532054I'm rocking my same setups as usual, though now I've been giving my smartphone and my BSP D6 more attention over my tablet and IPEGA PG9083s, and for good reason, my smartphone's newer, has a better chipset and double the RAM, also quadruple the storage, my tablet can often struggle with PS1, and I've been meaning to get into consoles like the DS, it's much more viable to do that on my smartphone, my dream setup though would be a top tier tablet with HDMI output... perhaps a foldable really, the Z Fold 6 looks like the perfect device for me, too bad they're expensive and unrealiable.
>>12533235this is the retro handhelds general not the phone general retard
If I wanted to go with an Ayaneo android device, would I still risk getting cheapo chink’d on parts?
>>12533256Fair I guess, though a lot of handhelds now are widescreen and run Android, with Android emulators like RetroArch and/or standalones you can find in the Google Play Store, so I don't see the experience itself as being all that different when I'm laying in bed playing with my controller addon, the difference is that the handhelds have a controller attached, that's all.
>>12533274Despite the memes, Ayaneo devices actually are built pretty well. They haven't changed spec on anything yet.
>>12533276phones are not the same as a dedicated handheld at all
Mangmi Air X, TrimUi Smart Pro S, Retroid Pocket 4 Pro on sale, or would I just want to bite the bucket and go all in on RP5? I want something great for PSP and I know Smart Pro S still has issues even if better than the vanilla model, but it has better matching ergo than the Mangmi's shoddy shell.
I don't want to set up a front end on my odin... every time I open it I just play videogames instead of troubleshooting this bullshit
>>12533291RP4Pro screen is really bad but it's the most powerful device here for the dollarI think if you are spending 140 + shipping you should just save up a little bit and get an odin 2 portal since they are still 249 for the base model
>>12533332It's a pain but I put up with it and do it because I can't stand looking at basic Android when I pick up a device for gaming.
>>12533332I'll do it for you if you post your feet
>>12532516This but et-ai. Never once showed his face. Never once got married.>>12533256>This is the [rewrapped phones general not the phones general] Huh?
>>12533338I'd suck the cum straight out of your balls if you did it for me but I'll have to do it myself
>>12533350Just watch godkingruss's guide.
>>12533353I put it in the trash when I saw his choice of emulators
>>12533354I prefer standalone over retardarch myself, but nothing russ uses stood out as retarded to me. I don't watch his guide videos btw.
>>12533358he recs aethersx2 instead of nether
>>12533359Is Aether the one that lets you do turnip drivers? I've never looked into it because I've never had an issue running nether.
I can choose between this clean GBA with IPS screen... or a gba micro. Both the same price.It's also not 2004 anymore so rechargeable batteries are cheap, good, and actually last long.Which one would you pick?
>>12533375normal GBA because of the form factor
>>12533374aether is the one that added ads to their emulator
>>12533379Oh, Russ is unironically a faggot for that one.
>>12533375Easily the OG GBA. Always thought the micro was the shittiest revision.
>>12533375GBA is already bordering on too small of a screen for me.
>>12533287android phone with a controller = 16:9 horizontal handheld running android
>>12533375>OG>ips screen will be better>battery will be better with duracell>ergonomics will be better>micro>it's... small
>>12533335Is RP4Pro also best bang for buck in terms of portable size without going 4:3?
>>125330242GB
>>12533350good girl, you could sit on my lap while I install all the best emulators and scrape all the game covers for you
>>12533256A phone or a tablet with a controller attached to it is a handheld.
>>12533429You can hold anything in your hand, that doesn't make it a handheld. Laptops are not handhelds because you plug a shitendo pro controller into them. Phones are not designed or optimized for emulation and bluetooth/USB C telescopic controllers are dogshit.
>>12533453Android handhelds aren't "optimized" for emulation either. They just usually have active cooling.>telescopic controllers are dogshitI have one that's fucking amazing.
i ordered one of these for the first time 2 weeks ago and its still at preparing for shipping status, i already lost all the hype i had for it...
phone gaming is great>no thermals so you're forced to take a break every 10 minutes>no buttons getting in the way>can take scam calls>touch screen smudges add character>'its powerful!' so it can handle all those hard-to-run SNES games>you're already carrying one, so why not carry a big telescopic controller too?>candy crush. CANDY CRUSH! maybe even ANGRY BIRDS
Micro handhelds is my fetish, does TrimUI models s runs GBA well?
>>12533459Yeah I'm sure your smartphone with no cooling and no turnip drivers on a bluetooth 5 dollar chinktroller is amazing at emulation dude.
>>12533480>a bluetooth 5 dollar chinktrollerBuy better products then.
>>12533463This but reironiclly. >>12533480>His phone/chinkheld gets hot running fucking 6th gen.Kwab!>BT instead of usb-cYep. He's half brown.
>>12533375One thing to note is that GBA Micro lacked all the entrails needed to run GB and GBC games. Not sure tho if you care about GB and GBC games, but it's something to keep in mind.
>>12533495Modern bluetooth doesn't really have high input latency. Even rhythm games are perfectly playable with BT controllers made this decade.
>>12533498Don't quote me, but im pretty sure every telescopic bt controller has the bt chip. Its more the Bluetooth for your device itself. I still go usb-c for action games.
>>12533335>odin 2 portali'm sorry, but smudgy glass front panel seems like a really, really bad idea
>>12533521Fortunately no one has issues with glass panels besides retards who are too poor to afford handhelds with them, so you'll be fine.
>>12533480>Yeah I'm sure your smartphone with no cooling and no turnip drivers on a bluetooth 5 dollar chinktroller is amazing at emulation dude.Got a Moto G Stylus 2023 5G for like $20 thanks to provider deals, debloated this sucker, and it runs up to 3DS with shader comp being its biggest flaw, and NetherSX2 being a finicky bitch. At that point it's literally just the heat and battery which would be a problem for any chinkheld that isn't bordering on an android mini-PC.
>>12533526>got a smartphone and it cant run 3DS or PS2 because the CPU doesnt support turnip driversyou dont say!
>>12533526in what world is heat and battery a issue for dedicated handhelds with active cooling lmao, the batteries last for a week straight.
>>12533530>muh turnip driversYou're fucking retarded.
>>12533534how well does your motorola run BOTW and Mario Kart
>>12533532hunting around and seeing reviews, if you're emulating anything psp and under yeah the modern batteries last forever, but you start running console games it takes a chunk out, and if you roll into gamehub/gamenative with anything above basic indie games that shit chunks that battery into a couple hours easy depending on the device. so trying to turn it into a full blown near-modern console eats the shit out of these things, but i imagine most people here will run these fine.>>12533535considering cemu is still kind of a beta shit emulator on android, your best bet of even handhelds running that is brute processing power, but the average modern smartphone can easily run 3ds games at 2-3x resolution and generally handle most shit you throw at them. the controllers and bluetooth delay are the bigger faults.
>>12533535Do you even know what a CPU or SoC is?
>>12533525>Fortunately [ACKyn cope, as he forgets most phones use glass]Kekaroo even.>>12533530>Snaptranny thinks you need turnip for 3dsGrim.
>>12533537Most people here, even phonebros, have pretty much the same knowledge as jewtubers. Doesn't help chinkheld jewtubers get more retarded by the year. Eta is a surprising exception.
luv me minisimple as
Am I retard for wanting this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-CzYTk_Xz8
>>12532882a-are we going to make it?
>>12533667yeah
>>12533667>3DS>PS2That form factor is wasted on whatever SoC they've opted for. You don't need more than PS1/N64 on that display. It will definitely be overpriced.
>>12533672awww man :(
>>12533667Man, Anbernic really gave up on interesting ideas or old recreations and are just doing pointless gimmicks
>>12533667>Xperia but more expensive and shittier
>>12533758It's not even an Xperia because it doesn't have SIM card support. They made the same mistake with RG Slide.
>>12533764>it doesn't have SIM card support.That's even worse. That means its gonna cost like $50 right?...right?
>>12533793>Some ps2/3dsMight be less expensive than the vita pro, might be more expensive because slider hinge tax.
>>12533793They're using an SoC capable of some 3DS and PS2. None of their sub-$100 devices can run those systems. It will be $90-$140 depending on the SoC (it's either T618 or RK3576). There's a small chance it's a more expensive and powerful SoC, but it's very unlikely considering their video shows the PSP version of God of War dropping frames.It would've been a $50-$70 device had they used the H700 or RK3568. But in that case it would be capped out at PS1 emulation.
>>12533667This thing is going to be so expensive>uncomfortable>scratch prone screen>can't even run gamecube good (you can hear the audio distort from the performance loss)>no 3.5mm jack
I need this but more powerful. Fund it
>>12534593Anbernic would rather keep wasting time and resources on stupid shit like the Rotate than do stuff that makes sense like this.
>>12532840How is it not one? has literally the same specs, button layout, and os
>>12534593I wish the retroid pocket classic >>12533032 had that shape of dpad
So Ayn and Retroid are the same company, Ayn seems to be the premium products relatively whereas Retroid are the workhorses they've been trying to sell as a cheaper alternative? Besides Pocket 6's absolute fuckery with RAM now.
>>12534818Doesn't use the connected face buttons, dpad is completely different (awesome,) different OS (shit) and was released at the same time. If you're saying everything with a RK3326 is an r36 clone then I'm not sure you can be helped, fren
>>12534871>two companies work with same partners and are friendly with each other>it's the same company!I've worked in several small/mid companies which had "sibling" companies or "friendly" companies, probably similar to what Ayn and Retroid are. It's never really "the same company". Completely different people work on completely different projects. Different shareholders, different project managers, different QA, different developers, etc. If both are tasked with delivering the same product, you'd get 2 different products. So, thinking it's "the same company" never makes sense.>Ayn seems to be the premium products relativelyI wouldn't say that. Retroid has historically been much better than Ayn, it's just that recently they fucked up since they changed memory suppliers. So while you can say Thor>RP6, RP5 and earlier Retroid handhelds had better quality than AYN handhelds.
>>12534909>RP5 and earlier Retroid handhelds had better quality than AYN handhelds.Fair enough, I'll keep that in mind. Sucks the G2 is well sold out.
>>12534909>RP5 and earlier Retroid handhelds had better quality than AYN handheldshow? I've literally never heard anything bad about the old odins while i've heard so many retroid disasters
>>12534885what are you talking about?
>>12534946Is this a bit, are you drunk? I was talking about how the xu-10 isn't an r36 clone, listing the reasons.
>odin 2 mini would've been my perfect do-anything handheld device for size and design>discontinued entirely in favor of 2 portal, 3, and the thor
>>12535213Just grab one off ebay for $1,000. Easy.
With the ram crisis preventing the industry from moving forward with spec creep this will lead to more experimental form factors and variations right? Since they can't really rely on "similar product but with even more power!" to sell new handhelds they will look for different ways to grab people's attention. R-right?
>>12534979people were comparing android phones to android handhelds, are you retarded?
>>12535371are you unable to follow replies?
>tempted by the thor but realize like >>12533521 that the glass isn't very interesting for a handheldShit
>>12535281no sorry, instead of making actual RETRO focused handhelds like a neo geo pocket clone they will make retarded fucking shit like the rg rotate
>>12535391shit, you're rightdon't know why i mentally lumped your post in with the phone discussion
>>12535402all good m8
>>12532252thank you
is it fruitless trying to repair a DS Lite from 2007 over just grabbing a new refurb one?the hinge is busted, the buttons are mushy and unresponsive, the screens are piss yellowed. I'd need to completely replace the thing with a new shell set + new screens. It's not even worth to run it as a GBA macro. At this point, only the mobo is any good, and even then it's all rusty in some places like the charging port. Should I just put it to rest?
>>12535462You can try unyellowing the screens by displaying white for a long time (like 3 days to 2 weeks), and rust can be taken care of. But that would only make it suitable for a macro, since replacement hinges suck last i remember.Still it could make for a background project even if you're replacing it. Better than just throwing it away.
>>12534909retroids were literally blowing up lmao
>>12535396idk why everyone shits their pants over glass fronts, they look good and smudging isnt a issue because there's no reason for you to be rubbing your greasy fingers all over the screen instead of the buttons and joystick
>>12535213Odin 2 Mini has an awful screen unfortunately. It's also about the same size as the Retroid Pocket 5/6/G2, so you could always get one of those instead. Or a Flip 2 if you want more portability.
>>12535638A lot of people don't like the look, though. I'd rather matte polymer around the screen than a bunch of useless glass. I don't think it looks modern and sleek, but poorly designed for the purpose.
>>12535745yeah, as someone that grew up with a 1001 PSP model and all, glossy or smoothed/shiny plastic is one thing, straight up glass is not considering I already try to avoid rubbing fingers and shit all over my phone screen as is
>>12535745A lot of people do like the look though.
>>12535638Too bad those are also glass covered, huh.
>>12535773uhh no, the joystick and face buttons arent covered in glass retard
>>12535839are your hands skinless or do you play with gloves on
>>12535843how fat are your fucking hands that your finger skin falls 3 inches down and rubs all over the front of the handheld like a mop
>>12535850nice goalpost moving
DONGGUAN, GUANGDONG
>>12535904My Thor was only in Guangdong for a day. Despite the long wait, once the shipment process actually started, it only took 6 days to arrive. Pretty nice.
>>12535638I don't like how it looks and I don't like the fact it's far less durable than plastic. I avoid glass phones as much as possible too. Imagine having to worry about the device falling for the rest of your life instead of living like a gigachad who throws the handheld around. My PSP is still alive and working well with no cracks whatsoever and it's been 20 years. If it were made out of glass it would already be recycled long ago.
>>12535947Whenever glass fronts are brought up it's always revealed the people who hate them are absolute mongoloids with shattered phones who can't stop themselves from beating their technology against the ground like a mouth breathing caveman. There is absolutely zero reason EVER for you to damage the glass front of a handheld.
>>12535948>There is absolutely zero reason EVER for you to damage the glass front of a handheld.Yes, I'm sure everyone is doing this intentionally. Fucking retard.
>>12535950How are you accidentally dropping something you hold in both hands?
>>12535951Handhelds aren't held in both hands at all times and they aren't even held at all times. And again, you're just proving my point. Glass is a material you need to constantly baby.
>>12535954??? how are you going to use a Portal 1 handed?
>>12535948man you have a lot of projecting or something going on there, never broke a phone in my life but i just don't want glass over where even first party handheld were plastic. it's not about looking nice, i'd rather save on weight and feel because i want plastic that feels firm, not glass that tries to feel premium
>>12535983glass is firmer than plastic though retard kun
>>12535961Read my post again. Key word: "all times".You're not ALWAYS actively using a device just because you hold it. You hold the device in one hand the first time you grab it and when you release it and place it somewhere. You hold it in one hand while doing something else with your other hand. There are times where I even hold my Steam Deck for 10-20 seconds in one hand.You don't hold the device at all when you leave it on a random surface in your house or outside. It could be knocked off by something and randomly fall. Glass is slippery so things are worse if the back is glass and flat, in that case a device can slide on a surface until it falls.>inb4 "I don't do this" or "just do X thing instead"That would be babying it, which proves my point.>>12535987>glass is firmerThat's what makes it more fragile and a worse material for a portable device.
>>12536007its not babying anything to expect someone to put shit away if they're going to be doing something else with their hands, are you trying to play a handheld while driving or something? No wonder retards walk around with cracked phones all the time
>>12536010>it's not babying if you baby itYes, it is.>are you trying to play a handheld while driving or somethingNo, I'm just leaving it on my desk or on my couch instead of placing it in a box or a case. Why would I do anything else while it's charging or while I'm only temporarily not using it?
>>12536013You're the one who claimed you shatter your phone every time you hold it because it has a glass front.
>>12536014>making shit up
>>12536013i also don't like the glass front trend, but not throwing something against the wall or spiking it into the ground isn't "babying" it
>>12536449Nobody said otherwise, mr reddit.
