Yup. Yupp. Yuuuuup. They're still working on those 2 android handhelds btw. In the meantime, produce and release stuff for gamemt and trimui. Anyone see that rk2023 rebrand? Specs are worse than thought. Allwinner a33. Same at the miyoo a30.

Miyoo Mini Plus for ~€45
vs
RG40XXV for ~€65
vs
RG CubeXX for ~€60
?

Leaning towards the MM+ since it's cheaper and smaller, thus better as an EDC. I usually don't play handhelds at home, but have been playing GBC on my phone in between stuff.

So you want a pocketable handheld? Get an RG34XX-SP or RG35XX-SP.

>Miyoo Mini Plus
It's shit. Only capable of GBA/SNES and older. You don't really want there to be a day when you want to play "that one" PS1, N64, DS, PSP or DC game and realize you have to buy yet another handheld.
>40XXV
Better option in terms of power, but the analog stick makes it annoying to pocket.
>CubeXX
Best option of the 3 in terms of ergonomics, but the least pocketable because of it's analog sticks and it being by far the heaviest of the 3.
>>
Any good handhelds that can run dreamcast games?
I remember that was difficult to do a few years back

>You don't really want there to be a day when you want to play "that one" PS1, N64, DS, PSP or DC game and realize you have to buy yet another handheld.
You don't have to buy it. Do what we did in the olden days and restrict yourself to the library of what you can play
>>
>>12603301
Pretty much any of them that cost north of 90€.
>>
>>12603303
Why don't you do what you did in the dark ages and play an actual Atari 2600 instead of emulating on a handheld.
>>
>>12603296
RG34XXSP looked like a good option right up until finding out they just downgraded it to 512MB RAM and I don't want to deal with that crapshoot. And it's just a scummy move to do so quietly.

MM+ seemed like a good option because people have been specifically praising the feel of the controls and size, though the RG XX handhelds win on every other front. Especially video out and bluetooth seem pretty nice to have.

TrimUI Brick also seems decent, but a bit more expensive and tends to run hot. Also has rather clicky controls from what I gather, which would not have my preference.

But yeah, kinda looking for a pocketable device with nice controls to play up to PS1 that's not expensive enough for me to want to baby it (up to around €60 or something).

I have no idea, I'm going through some catalogues myself. My Flip 2 has heating problems but I'm leaning towards lower end games lately on the RG35XXSP, but I still want the option for some gen 6. I'm looking at either the Miyoo Flip v2 or a RP4P so far. I love clamshells but RP4P has a better chip.

a gba clone that can only play gba roms and 8/16 bit games consoles

for a retro handheld 512mb of ram is enough
>>
>>12603424
you're still getting the lesser product than initially advertised (2GB downgraded to 1GB, then again to just 512MB)
it's also still more expensive than the 34XX or 35XXSP

Tell me, which is the most comfortable to use? The R36S is most tempting because it's objectively the best value and most supported, but I assume a psp/gba design clone is probably best for actually using

i'm sure it's been covered a billion times but humor me, i don't follow these threads ever.. i just use my steam deck and retroarch for all this shit, am i retarded or something? is the problem simply the size? don't get me wrong, i'd love to be convinced to buy some chinese garbage and the rg rotate is certainly cool looking... my last handheld was an odroid go advance black edition and it left me with a negative impression of these handhelds in general.

The Logitech G Cloud but unfortunately, the comfortability is one of the only good things about it.

>>12604207
A steamdeck is almost $1000 dollars now and doesn't ship everywhere. I live in an East African village and I was able to obtain a chinkheld in less than 3 weeks. I imagine size is also a factor.
>>
>>12604265
i forgot about multiple price increases, I bought in on the first wave of the lcd so i bought way cheaper (relatively).

maybe i have too many options for the handheld scene to make sense too, i have a hacked switch i could do all this shit on, and flashcarts for ds/gba/gb

the problem is more that all the cfw is expecting a certain hardware configuration and anbernic is now just winging it with whatever ram chips they have in the warehouse. Like I doubt muOS will work with the 512mb ram versions
>>
>>12603314
Wait wat!?
Man I am lucky! I got my RG34XXSP in 11:11, and it was 2gb, it has been amazing for Port Master, a bunch of stuff like GTA decomp ports play great with two sticks and 2GB RAM.

But I agree with the other anon, for retro games 1GB was more than enough, I guess 512mb could still be enough for retro.

I guess PortMaster is the app thatgot hit the most by RAM prices in Retro Chinese Handhelds..

I am afraid at this rate It will be too expensive to get a RGDS with 2GB RAM... maybe it will also be 512MB by this December? I only get them fro Christmas.
>>
>>12604841
According to the guy that opened his system, 512 mb is not enough to play Dreamcast.
The biggest issue is anbernic's complete silence
>>
>>12604879
I have a RG35XX+ (2024) with... 1GB I believe.
It can play Dreamcast, but struggles with plenty of stuff.
With 2GB RG34XXSP I had better performance there, also PSP had slight improvements, noticeable ones.
Portmaster will simply not launch without proper RAM, most stuff is under 1GB but 1GB to 2GB is where the newer indie stuff is.

I hope people get to play Gato Roboto with only 512RAM

i want to get the cubexx, i tried my luck in a thread that popped in /v/ days ago, asking if it can handle saturn or n64 + some pc ports, and an anon answered me that i'm out of luck for the former. i make peace with that but now i recently read that the thing also got hit with some downgrades with its ram, so makes me worried i can't try ports like srb2 or doom mods. the pc ports are viable thanks to something called portmaster, right? does it got fucked by this at least in the cubexx?
