Russ made a video complaining that the RG477M doesn't have an OLED so Retroid (who openly watch his videos) made one for him.

What do you think the Nova is targeting, in terms of emulation?

The screen resolution make it clear it's designed for 240p titles at a 4x scale, but what sort of chipset and RAM size would you expect- and based on that is it likely to run advanced shaders, or to be capable of Wii/PS3 emulation?
>>
>>12652171
According to Russ, Retroid and Ayn use contractors while Anbernig develops the designs for their handhelds in-house.

>>12652181
I'm hoping it's the reason they halted production of the Pocket G2 and just use the same specs as that.

Issue - you probably cannot find N64-style stick anymore so best they could put there is Switch-style or some Hall effect stuff.

Most components used in chinkhelds are not custom made for particular console, producers must work with whatever the fuck is currently plentiful in warehouses.

>>12652228
>you probably cannot find N64-style stick anymore
Huh? They still sell replacements on AliExpress and you can get modern expensive replacements that get rid of the plastic grinding issue for example.

>best they could put there is Switch-style or some Hall effect stuff.
I know. As long as they use the peg-style instead of switch style stick, that would be preferable. In this case I don't think extending the length of the peg and finding a bigger cap for the stick would be very expensive to do. I don't expect them to start making N64 joysticks just for one device. Even if they just use an RG477V stick and get rid of the stupid cavity it would sell imho. At least I would get one. Same with the buttons, they can use the same ones they use for the Arc, they just need to be relatively large like the original N64 buttons are, it doesn't have to be overly authentic, just look and feel like it.

>>
>>12652134
I don't like this, plastic means cheap to chinks and white transparent is by far the cheapest looking one. This is gonna be some quirky chip and 6GB at best, which is in-line with chinks thinking you don't need performance for 4:3. Abandoning ergos sucks too. I want to be wrong, but it's looking like RP5 is still endgame.

>>12651912
It's not, also worse for console emulation and I need Linux. Dimenshitty would have been fine if it was actually cheaper, but it isn't.
>>
I have crippling SFC and GC color fatigue.
>>
>>12652372
It is great that more companies are making super powerful 4:3 verticals with sticks, but like the people in the comments are saying, I don't see why people should get this over an RG477V, or an older anbernic vert if they want something cheaper. Also, no cooling???
>>
>>12652374
I think it would do well as retroid’s first cheap "XX" style handheld, but they are clearly marketing it as a small RP6 or G2, which is really not what I wanted at all.

>>12652381
G2 had some neat colors. I am very sad I wasn't able to get one before they discontinued it. Is it really that hard to offer them in all the old colors? It's just a matter of changing the paint, no? For the matte ones I mean, obviously a glassy black or smooth white might need a different plastic material altogether

God, I wish. It's certainly gonna be more like $150-ish and weak.

And yeah, I think all the transparent ones suck here, I would rather have solid yellow and black, even turquoise. They ended up flipping the G2 shells to the RP5, but that proposition is kinda ass.
>>
>>12652393
I'd guess G2 gen 2 as they discontinued the Pocket G2 early. The G1 gen 2 from the Classic would be a good choice too.
>>
>>12652405
Like I said, if it is their budget handheld then that is fine. I just don't want them to change the v2 design when they put the newer chipset inside it, it was perfect the way it was. If the the v2 successor looks like this I am going to row a boat to Shenzhen and dump my life savings into Anbernic

what is the best way to play OoT and MM?
3ds version with the 3D effect on a real 3ds
or
recompiled ports like harkinian (either PC version or android on a Thor or similar)
pros and cons?
I kinda like the 3d effect from the 3ds screen
>>
>>12652558
3DS versions overhaul the visuals and give you access to gyro along with some quality of life stuff in both games but if you want original MM gameplay you need to use a patch for that on the MM3D. If you're on a New 3DS MM3D also makes use of the clit for camera I think?

Recomps and decomps have
>Native resolution upscaling.
>Gyro support.
>Support for camera on right stick and extra buttons including that thing the randomizers do where you can bind stuff to the d-pad.
>Quality of life options you can toggle on and off however you feel like.
>The ability to disable the HUD.
>Built in Master Quest.
>Built in randomizer options.
>Original FPS, 30 FPS, 60 FPS, 120 FPS, or uncapped with no issues at all.
>Native support for romhacks without needing to patch a rom.
>Native support for skins and mods just by dragging and dropping.
and on and on and on. There is no reason to play the N64 originals and I'm pretty sure there's ports of the 3D models to the recomps and decomps as well as well as all the quality of life changes both had.
>>
>>12652563
Nobody asked you.

Waluigi is a man lost in a hall of mirrors. You start with Mario – the heroic plumber. You reflect him to create Luigi – the same thing but less. You invert Mario to create Wario – a twisted libertarian facsimile of our hero. You then reflect the inversion in the reflection; you create a being who can only exist in reference to others. Waluigi is the true nowhere man; his identity only comes from what and who he isn’t. Without a wider frame of reference, he is nothing but the triumph of capital over creativity. He has no reason to exist beyond adding a simulacrum of novelty to a declining commodity alienated from the joy of play. To play as Waluigi is the ultimate act of false consciousness: You may tell yourself you experience some kind of enjoyment, but in reality this cynically designed character is playing you.
>>
>>12652292
You can innovate with creative stage design and gimmicks. Ever notice Rayman 1 and Rayman Origins aren't the same even though they're both 2D? Megaman 1 vs Megaman X, way different, still 2D, still Megaman. Mario 64 vs Galaxy, super different, both collectathons. MGS2 vs MGS3 very different yet still linear stealth games (and better than open world MGS5). Ocarina vs Majora, super different even though they're in the same engine with re-used assets (and both better than empty lifeless BotW). You think evolution = changing genres because you lack creativity.
>>
>>12652303
why don't you explain what it is instead of assuming I know Japanese
>>
>>12652697
You retards fucking suck at this. Do it like this:

Waluigi is a man lost in a hall of mirrors. You start with Mario the heroic archetype, the foundational myth of the digital age. You reflect him to create Luigi, an iteration that is structurally identical but fundamentally diminished, defined primarily by his secondary nature. You then invert Mario to create Wario, a twisted, hyper-capitalist, libertarian facsimile of our hero, driven by pure id and greed. Finally, you reflect that very inversion back into the mirror of the lesser brother. In doing so, you create Waluigi: a being who can only exist in reference to others. Waluigi is the ultimate "nowhere man" of the digital panopticon. His identity is entirely negative; it is derived solely from what and who he isn’t. He possesses no homeland, no solo franchise, and no canonical inner life. Without a wider frame of reference to ground him, he collapses into nothingness, a stark monument to the triumph of capital over genuine artistic creativity. He has no organic reason to exist beyond injecting a cheap simulacrum of novelty into an annual, declining commodity. This is a franchise alienated from the primordial joy of pure play, surviving instead on the sheer momentum of brand loyalty. To select Waluigi on the character screen is to participate in the ultimate act of false consciousness. You may tell yourself you experience some subversive, ironic enjoyment that by choosing the absurd, lanky outcast, you are sticking it to the corporate squeaky cleanliness of the Mario Bros. universe. But in reality, this cynically designed corporate cipher is playing you. He is the illusion of counter-cultural choice packaged and sold by the very entity he supposedly parodies. Waluigi doesn't represent rebellion; he represents the total commodification of the absurd. He is the final stage of the hyperreal, where we no longer play games to escape reality, but to lose ourselves in a hollow, loop of marketing metrics.
>>
>>12652332
Sonic was always more about pinball physics than brainless speed. The marketing focused on speed but the games did not. Boost and Adventure are not classic Sonic logically translated into 3D, they're gotta-go-fast simulators with a sonic skin. Instead of physics-based platforming you just spam homing attack. Instead of earning speed through maintaining momentum as you run and bounce through an obstacle course, you just push up and hit max speed in 1 second, then proceed to watch some auti-pilot bullshit until it's time to mash homing attack again.

>>12652381
I’m sitting here looking at three different Chinese handheld gaming consoles on my desk devices from Anbernic, Miyoo, and Retroid and honestly, the differences between them are marginal at best. One handles Dreamcast a little better; one has a slightly crisper 3.5-inch screen; one has triggers that click just a bit more satisfyingly. Yet, the moment a new one drops with a slightly upgraded chipset or a nostalgic translucent shell, my finger hovers over the pre-order button.

I don't think I'm alone in this loop.

On the surface, we rationalize it as a quest for the "perfect" setup. We chase ergonomics, seamless Linux frontends, or the holy grail of emulation: flawless PS2 playback in a pocketable form factor. But if I’m being completely honest with myself, the joy isn't actually in the playing. It's in the anticipation. It's in tracking the shipping container from Shenzhen, unboxing the matte plastic, and spending six hours carefully curating a MicroSD card with thousands of retro games I will probably only play for five minutes each.

It’s a strange, modern flavor of consumerism deeply intertwined with digital hoarding and a longing for simpler times. These handhelds are literal vessels of nostalgia. They promise to package our childhoods into a neat, tactile object we can slip into a pocket. We aren't just buying a piece of hardware; we are buying the idea of a rainy Saturday afternoon in 1998 when we had nothing but time.

But time is the one thing these $100 consoles can’t emulate. We collect the systems because tinkering with them gives us a fleeting sense of control over our hobbies, a brief escape into a subculture of screen-tint configurations and button-swapping. We love the community, the optimization, the shared obsession. So we keep buying, chasing that perfect hit of dopamine, forever setting up the ultimate gaming machine only to place it on the shelf next to the others, waiting for the next release cycle to start it all over again.

Yo, Max! King, would you consider making this TMNT Communicator?

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 this one (it has a "sonar" sphere screen):
>>12644921

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

If you 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.

Thank You Very Much, Rey!
Much Love and Respect!

The buttons are identical other than 34's being shorter, I've consulted people who got both. Also went window shopping for the real SP before ordering the 35, which had much better feeling buttons.

> It was real in my mind

Game Boy Advance SP (GBA SP) originally featured factory-fresh tactile SMD microswitches under both the D-pad, A/B buttons, and shoulder triggers. This gave them a distinct, mechanical "click" when pressed, unlike the soft, spongy rubber membranes of the original horizontal GBA.

The Mechanics of GBA SP ButtonsTactile SMD Switches:
Unlike the standard rubber dome and carbon pad contacts used in the original Game Boy, NES, or SNES, Nintendo used surface-mount tactile switches soldered directly onto the GBA SP motherboard.

The "Clicky" Sensation:
Pressing down on the plastic D-pad or face buttons directly depresses the metal dome of the microswitch underneath, giving you physical, audible feedback.

Meds, now.

I've beaten battle network 3 blue, 5 proto, 6 gregar, Fire emblem 7 and 8, Megaman zero 1-3, castlevania circle and aria, minish cap, and sonic Advance 1-3.

It's my favorite chinkheld.
The Arc-S is my second favorite but I wish it was stronger and had a 720p screen.

The Retroid Pocket Classic has the perfect screen aspect ratio for what I want to play (GB, GBC and other handhelds from that era, up to GBA), but I can't justify the price, especially since most of the hardware will be wasted on my use case. Is there anything else with that screen that doesn't cost that much?
>>
>>12654862
That's the cheapest for that exact screen as far as I know. If you'd be willing to sacrifice the OLED, the RG CubeXX is half the price, is actually a 1:1 screen ratio instead of the weird 31:27 of the RPC, and it's 720p compared to a lot of other budget handhelds, and the screen is pretty good for an IPS imo.

You don't pay retroid prices for the screen, you pay them for the godly buttons. That performance is for shaders or fast forward, and honestly mGBA can choke on h700 on edge cases. I'll vouch for the CubeXX as well but some people don't like its d-pad, YMMV.

Just remember if your buy the RG34XX you do the tape mod on the d-pad or you will hate using it and with the RG35XX-SP you need to 3D print or buy spacers for the buttons so the domes don't pierce the buttons regardless if you get the old or new revision prior to the RAM drop.

>for the buttons so the domes don't pierce the buttons regardless if you get the old or new revision prior to the RAM drop

This issue is more than a rare edge case, but less than an absolute guarantee. Think of it as a conditional design flaw. If you leave your device stock, the rubber membrane and the metal dome switches are fairly resilient. The piercing phenomenon became prominent because thousands of users attempted the tape mod simultaneously to silence the loud click, which inadvertently created a cookie-cutter punch out of the stock button pins.

Anbernic actively listened to community complaints regarding the original launch models. Later batches of the SP series shipped with a "V2" configuration featuring less aggressive, flatter, or shortened stems under the ABXY buttons, making piercing much less likely right out of the box.

Ironically, applying the "tape mod" to quiet the loud click increases the risk of piercing. Because tape reduces the wiggle room and increases travel resistance, players naturally press down harder. This extra force causes the plastic stem to punch right through the tape layers over

If you have no plans to modify the device to make it quieter, you likely don't need to worry about piercing at all.

>>
>>12655704
Not true, people have pierced through the membranes and the domes without the tape. And the so called v2 buttons just added the supporting ring to the face buttons like the original design anbernic wanted to save cents on. The d-pad is ringless and also pierces, if at a slower rate.

>>12655720
Mostly accurate regarding the mechanics of the flaw, but looking at the worst-case scenario. It is true that on un-modded devices, the sharp central stems can slowly wear down or eventually puncture the rubber membranes even without tape. It is also true that Anbernic's "V2" fix for the face buttons added a supporting outer ring to distribute the pressure—and that the D-pad remains ringless on later revisions.

If you play turn-based RPGs, Pokémon, or puzzle games, the force applied to the buttons is minimal. The puncture horror stories almost exclusively come from "button-mashers" playing fighting games, platformers, or intense arcade titles where force is heavily exerted. And this over hundreds of hours of gameplay.

Membranes are consumable parts on almost every retro handheld and controller (including original Game Boys).

Even if Anbernic added the support rings to the face buttons late, those rings do successfully stop the stem from piercing the membrane by distributing the downward force across a wider surface area. If someone has a newer batch device, their ABXY buttons are structurally protected.
>>
>>12655731
I have a 34XX, probably one of the originals because I've had for over a year, I think even 2 years? Don't recall. I'm the guy who's beaten all those games listed above, probably the only guy in this whole thread who's beaten LITERALLY ANY GAME at all. Going strong, my most played device.

I'd say the biggest objection to the Cubexx dpad I hear is that they used an inferior design to the RG Arc dpad.

>Later batches of the SP series shipped with a "V2" configuration featuring less aggressive, flatter, or shortened stems under the ABXY buttons, making piercing much less likely right out of the box.
They only did it to the buttons, not the d-pad meaning you still need to add the rings for the d-pad on the V2 models. Like I said, all they did it for was the face buttons.

>>12655709
>Sounds like you're just repeating hyperbolic shit about devices you've never used
I literally own both and have used both for roughly 100 hours each now. The false diagonals on the RG34XX made the thing unplayable until I did so. Pressing any direction straight on would constantly give me diagonal inputs. It made Knulli's menus sometimes unusable let alone playing a game like Circle of the Moon on it. After like five hours of CotM I had enough and spent the money on the tape after asking here specifically what kind it was that the one guy was spamming months ago and it's been solid ever since.

It's a very well known issue with the thing, you just pretending to not notice it doesn't change that. You can even Google "RG34XX false diagonal" or "bad d-pad" and get loads of results of people fixing theirs because it's that bad.

So if I have RG34XXSP v2, what exactly must I do to he Dpad, add tape to the domes? Or you mean 3D printing some stopper? I cant 3D print, I might do the tape thing if it improves the longevity but I have had no isses, who knows.

Tape isn't necessary for the SP, that was only done on v1 models to quiet the start, select, function, and shoulder buttons. They have foam now. The d-pad itself is perfectly fine on the SP even on the v1.

We're specifically talking about the dome piercing issue where over time (People were reporting it after several months of consistent or heavy use) the plastic is sharp enough to dig into the contacts and pierce them leading to you needing to solder on new ones. The V2 redid the ABXY buttons to raise them enough in addition to not be as sharp so that doesn't happen, but they didn't do it with the d-pad.
https://imoskvin.com/blog/rg35xxsp-button-mod/
https://www.printables.com/model/1016431-ring-cover-for-og-buttons-replacement-buttons-and
You 3D print those and then just slap them on the underside of the d-pad membrane and then put the thing back together. If you can't do that I think AliExpress sells them maybe? Or you could just pay a 3D printing service to do it for you if your local library doesn't. My local libraries do it for pennies so I was just able to ask them for it.

I got the 3D printed washers posted above by that cunt on my 35, they'll do nothing for the face buttons on the 34 since they already have the rings. Buttons don't feel as good to press with them, fair warning.

>>12655857
>Is the input delay on the RP5 really that bad?
No, but I find some emulators add to the problem that it becomes a real issue.
>Does Rocknix fix this problem? Was gonna go for some ps2 action games next, but lag doesnt sound nice.
It might. Biggest difference I felt so far was on DC, which I found horrible on Android. Problem is PS2 emulation is worse off on Linux, you'll also need some perma mesa rollback fix they posted on shitcord the other day for the RP5.

>Also - does the New 3DS XL work well of PS1 games?
Supposedly runs rearmed, expect sub-$40 chinkheld results. You won't play it. There's nothing more excruciating than playing a 3DS and the XL doesn't fix it, I went through that with the originals.

I'll probably just buy a 2DS, don't want to purchase a full Thor, and the unlocked 2DS can play all the Marios and Donkey Kongs of GBa + Sonics on DS and the DS and 3DS libraries

There aren't any Vita games that interest me other than the ones I can already play on a PC or Switch. I'd rather get an RG Vita since it can emulate more systems than the PS Vita.

How long is it going to take handheld companies to realize sticks and face buttons need to be diagonal relative to each other, not vertical

So much power, and they give it the shitties ergos in human history. That's literally the ONE thing Retroid used to get right over Anbernic and they are regressing again

This sounds like an Ayaneo device. I tought Retroid device were supposed to be more value oriented. This thing should have been $200 top with the proper specs.
>>
>>12657037
I'm more than okay with this, transparent looks terrible, just wish SFC and GC were actual good colors so black wouldn't be the only choice. Not having 256GB sucks, but at least it's not 6GB.
Don't know about this optional backplate though, implies there will be no grip.

Hoes who never emulated videogames in their lives and preach retrocatalog's self-admitted vibe-based letter ratings still mad.

Nova or Classic for SNES?

It's not overkill if you want it to run all PS2 and GC games.
>>
>>12657353
>retardedly overpowered SoC for a 4:3 handheld
That's what all the tards on their discord wanted. Cheap handhelds are dead because of these fags that need to be able to run Switch emulation on a fucking 4:3 handheld.
>>
>>12657563
Getting full support for PS2/GC on 4:3 is nice
>>
>>12657492
Nova, obviously. It's screen lets you have a perfect 4x integer scale in SNES games. The button layout is also clearly better.

>>12657353
>>12657563
It's not overkill at all. 4:3 is THE aspect ratio for PS2 and GC. And the price seems completely reasonable when compared to other PS2-capable handhelds.
>>
>>12657570
The G2 or the 865 is enough for that
>>
>>12656916
You know we can tell by the photo that that gun is plastic right

>>12657587
nigger its 2026, almost all guns are fucking plastic

>>12657581
>865
So you want them to make a Pocket 5 in a different form factor? Why? The SD8-Gen2 isn't that much more expensive, but you get the extra performance and better power efficiency. Using a SD865 would make the device compete with not just a couple of their other handhelds, but also the Thor Lite. Almost nobody would be interested in it.
>>
>>12657581
There's a decent amount of PS2 games that don't run on the sd865, and that's what the miniV2 has, Why would they make another 4:3 device with the same processor.?
>>
>>12657602
And this is just the RP6 in a different form factor, how is that an argument? The 865 would at least make this cheaper without sacrificing what you want to be running on a 4:3 handheld.
>>
>>12657607
>a decent amount
A handful of games that no one actually plays. People just want to be able to say "it runs everything" even if its shit they don't ever plan to play. Every PS2 game I played on my Flip 2 ran just fine.
>>
>>12657591
It's really stupid how you're pretending to not understand what he meant.
>>
>>12657608
865 is an older gen product so less people are interested in it.
>without sacrificing what you want to be running on a 4:3 handheld
You're sacrificing PS2 performance. 865 isn't good enough.
>>
>>12657615
People are always so caught up in the age of a chip when that doesn't matter at all in the realm of chinkhelds. As long as it runs what you want to run, who cares? Why do you need a recent SoC?
>>
>>12657025
No, you put YOU'RE trip on, Ginger Beard
>>
>>12657581
G2 yes, 865 no. G2 is also roughly the same as the 8G2, only with worse drivers and no linux.

>>12657617
I want full coverage. Because it's nearly twice as fast as the 865 they're still charging $200 for, penny pinchers don't understand the RP5's existence means a 865 with a gimmick screen would not be cheap.

Guize heads up!

Epic games is giving away the game Shredders Revenge for free at their website, FOR MOBILE DEVICES, by downloading their launcher.

This is an edge post, I respectfully share because the game is based on the retro Arcade TMNT games, it is pixel sprite based and 2D, and it runs in most Retro Hand Helds.

Those of you with Android 'Helds might want to check it out:

they should make a plastic variant.
metal handhelds don't feel too good to hold.
i own a rg351m, rg300x, trimui model s, trimui smart and trimui brick and the comfiest to hold are the rg300x and brick because they are plastic.
the model s is ok, half metal, half plastic.
same with the gameboy micro, feels only ok.

Huh? My Brick Hammer feels awesome to hold because of it being metal, and the cool metal feeling when you initially grab it is so nice.

I moved my NetherSX2 folder from my Retroid Flop 2 (RP5 version) to my Retroid Pocket 4 Pro and now the RP4P's NSX2 can't access the memory card folder for some reason. Any tips? I did all the obvious things like linking the memory card in the app to the one in the Android Data folder as well as trying it from a different folder but nothing seems to work. Google restricting Data access is one of the gayest decisions they ever made, I hate this shit so much.

They need to make a RP Nova Lite with the Classic's chip for those of us that don't need that much power on a 4:3.

Well, shit. Both MuOS and Knulli have analog stick issues, and the (rather convoluted) fix posted on the Knulli page apparently doesn't work 100% of the time.
