my RPF2 hinge is.... getting a little bit wonky
nothing too bad yet. It still works, no external damage, and it stays locked open at max extension, which is most important. But it no longer has resistance in the closed state. If I close it and turn it upside down the lid hangs open a few cm.
Is it over already? I really really like this device, it got me through the hospital

Retroon classic shills are the 2s shills. The 2s was at least decent.

>>12639759
There's yet to be a 4:3 handheld as good as 2S im terms of durability, sound quality, and value. The newer ones have that gay all-glass front or some other flaw

Is the RG Cube (non xx) any good? I'm seeing a listing for cheaper than the XX variant. Probably only going to use it to play handheld consoles.

Maybe it was a misinput.
Anyways, it's pretty good but with that screen you probably won't play PSP but other than that you should be fine

Agree. I was also pleasantly surprised by the RG Rotate, I support for Anbenic to keep coming up with creative, experimental, crazy little gadgets that remind us of the retro-futuristic technology from our childhood such as:
>>12638727

Or pic attached, for example.

But I only say that because I already -happily- own an RG34XXSP, and the RGDS is still out there, even tho I will most likely only get the RGDS+ this Christmas or the next.

If the RGDS+ does not come this year I will be happy with RGDS tho, I honestly only want it as a dedicated Demon Catching Device, for Shin Megami Tensei - Demon Survivors I & II.

Imagine the red RGDS with a bunch of cool Salomon Seals, a couple of Jesuitic "3 Metal Nails"

Anyways yeah... more little fun gadgets that need one or two GB of RAM can still be fun and great.

If they made the TMNT Communicator form 1991, with a stupid turtle shell, and all, I would get 4, for my nephews and cousins to play TMNT and stay in contact through some messenger app.

If your average session is 2 hours you end up feeling it. You're not "tilting" the nub you're pushing it
>>
>>12639684
Yeah but they all look gay and boring.
Clamshells are great as they're more robust (when the hinge isnt shit) as travel devices. That being said, most clamshells are more soulless in their designs than anything else.
Someone explain to me why the og DS looked more unique and than any other device in the ds line/family.

Depends on what you play. If you play arcade, snes, gb, gba, ps1, n64, dc, ps2 and gc then 3:4, 1:1, verticals are a win win.
For the rest and 16:9 hacks with the occasional wobly artifacts then horizontal.
For instance Doa Ultimate for xbox, you want to play this on horizontal.

But for Doa Hardore (ps2) or Dc 1:1 you want verticals...and btw, the US version doesn't allow zoom in and free cam on match replays, EU version does. That's why i never understood why americans where not more obsessed with Kasumi kek. I bet some if you are going to play Doa after watching this kino.

>>
>>12640321
I was very tempted, but despite going mad at the GBASP buttons when I first got it, I eneded up loving them back then, so I like my RG34SP clicky. I do like Miyoo Mini Plus' buttons.

Also OnionOS is a thing of beauty, superb OS.
And I dont mind the 3:4 ratio to add bezels with the holographic GameBoyAdvance logo to the bezel.

I honestly do not mind the "forehead" of the 34SP, and honestly 3:2 kind of forces you to enjoy it to be a GBA dedicated device, even tho PSP fits snuggly in it too.
>>
>>12640325
Yeah that's the good thing about limitations. I did think about getting the 34 just to have a gba dedicated handheld but then i though about gb and damn...worth it. Also the gba logo is so neat.

It might be historically inaccurate, I had no idea, I might be mixing my memories of Tiger Handhelds, Jurasic Park Sonar Handheld, and GBC, GBASP all together.

I do find it "retro" and comfy in a nostalgic way, but now I wonder. I grew up using a Text Processor with a Font Matrix and a green screen, I might even be mixing that in as well.. human memory is such a phenomenon kek

"Thor Ranch (RAM Ranch Remix)"
(to the tune of Grant Macdonald's "Ram Ranch" x Rage Against The Machine)

Five Thor Sisters waiting in the rain
Five Thor Sisters crying out in pain
Five empty pockets, RAM's too high
Five reasons why we sit and cry

Dilation station, but no device
Five sisters paying the silicon price
DDR5 costs a kidney and a half
Five girls laughing at the price graph

Thor Ranch, Thor Ranch, stuck in pre-ship
Five naked sisters losing their grip
Thor Ranch, Thor Ranch, RAM's through the roof
Five broke bitches with no proof

Five months saving, five months more
Five sisters staring at the Chinese store
RAM chips glowing like a forbidden dream
Five girls screaming at the price stream

Can't dilate proper with no Thor to hold
Five sisters shivering in the cold
The warehouse whispers, "Just pay more"
Five girls eating ramen on the floor

Thor Ranch, Thor Ranch, RAM's a whore
Five sisters can't afford the score
Thor Ranch, Thor Ranch, what's the plan?
Five broke girls with a empty hand

The Thor is waiting somewhere in the east
Five sisters praying for the price to cease
But Samsung and Micron own our fate
Five girls learning how to wait

The black bar hovers, we see the truth
Five sisters aging without proof of youth
The Thor will come when RAM is cheap
Five girls crying themselves to sleep

Thor Ranch, Thor Ranch, the end is near
Five sisters sobering up on fear
Thor Ranch, Thor Ranch, the joke's on us
Five girls turning to dust

Quite a few but a lot of them aren't retro. Binding of Isaac, Faith: The Unholy Trilogy (made in the style of an Atari 2600 game), AM2R, Axiom Verge, Slay the Spire, Dead Cells, Shovel Knight, Biomass: Growth, shit, even Wordle.
On the retro end, you've got Doom 1 through 3, Quake 1 through 3, HL, Blood, a bunch of GTAs, Max Payne, Fallout 1 and 2, Diablo, Morrowind, Alien vs Predator, SW: Jedi Outcast/Academy, Jazz Jackrabbit 1 and 2, Abuse, Carmageddon, Serious Sam 1 and 2, Hexen 2, Duke 3D, Roller Coaster Tycoon and a bunch of other stuff.
The list is being updated somewhat frequently so I'm sure more will keep popping up too.

More portability, more form factors, less expensive, and PC game emulation on Android will eventually catch up to Steam Deck performance. SteamOS is even coming to mobile chips soon, so you could potentially turn your handheld into a Steam Deck Lite. Even if some games don't run, you could use Moonlight or NVIDIA GeForce Now to stream them.
