>>12685769Is the RP5 the best all around value if I don’t care about dual screen? I’m not looking to emulate anything beyond Wii U.
>>12685773Only if you don't care about tweaking or using Bonwarjima
The last thread baker is better. This one is boring. It sucks
>>12685769Retroid Pocket Nova or Odin 2 Portal for PS2?
>>12685952Portal obviously (I own neither)
>>12685773Best all around is any Odin 2 variation
I asked a couple of days in here about getting this or the ARC-D for Saturn and Genesis games and I ended up buying pic related. I've played through three episodes of Panzer Dragoon so far and I plan on playing Virtua Cop and a golfing game that I forgot the name of
>>12685971>look everyone, I-I'm playing video games!Fucking pathetic
>>12685981Gomen, I'll return to Reddit...
>>12685971The arc is way more comfortable, but its chip is too ass for Saturn. Fuck you zhou
>>12686025Yeah, man. The d-pad looked awesome on the arc but apparently it didn't do Saturn that well.
>>12685971enjoying your mono sound?why the fuck doesn't it have stereo speakers?
>>12686104>enjoying your mono sound?yes
>>12686104Nobody sane gives a shit about stereo speakers on a portable device. Stereo is for a large sound system or headphones.
not the same anon but i was looking at picking up an RG ark-s before they disappear completely. Whats the best firmware for it these days? did knulli ever get a release or is still stuck with either rocknix or the shitty stock OS?
>>12686104I just some use some cheap Tanchjim Bunny iems
>>12686251>did knulli ever get a releaseyeah a few months ago, it's at the bottom of the Stable Releases listhttps://github.com/knulli-cfw/knulli-linux/releases/tag/20260511
>>12686251Not sure which release added it but the ARC-S is listed among the compatible systems in the newest version of Knulli.The one system that really needs it is the Magic X Mini Zero 28. I don't know why it hasn't been ported yet, given the Mini M from the same company is supported, as is the TrimUI Brick and Smart Pro which use the same A133P chipset as the Zero. Really needs it, the stock Android and Gamma OS core both run like ass, and as far as I can tell the only Linux option is MinUI.
What's the go to scraping tool now? My front end absolutely fucked up all the scraping it did so it looks like I have to manually do it.
>>12686095Nothing does. You can build a mile-long data center and use an ocean to cool it down and you'd still struggle to get 30 frames while emulating Saturn at its original resolution, that's if the game doesn't just freeze or force close on you.
>>12685773There is an argument to be made that buying a device with a snapdragon 8 gen 2 because of the few PS2 games it can run better than the 865 and. A few shaders.But sure, the RP5 is great value
>>12686352Compatibility is pretty good now actually. The problem is accuracy, especially graphically. Some emulators are fixing the vdp emulation though so it's looking hopeful finally
> 2026> THE BEST(est)
Why does mupen64plus on Android sucks ass to run battlezone, paraLLEI core also fucks the cockpit mesh and it cant run shaders.
>>12686252>iemsThey're earbuds, anon. Just call them earbuds.
>>12686757Frontends are fine, who the fuck wants to see vanilla Android on their gaming handheld? Scraping is pointless though, I agree. I just need my list of games.
where can i buy replacement vita buttons for my 1000? I bought some off of ali express and they barely fit correctly and everywhere else just seems to sell the exact same buttons but with the price hiked up. I almost think that someone somewhere mixed up the 2000 and 1000 buttons and now 2000 buttons are being marketed as 1000 buttons.
>>12686786>android>handheldpick one and only one.
>>12686801Linux handhelds always have a frontend so what the fuck are you complaining about then?
>>12686303amberelec on my rg351m still works fine.on my rg300x with simplemenu i do it manually.my 3 trimuis don't need scraping.
>>12686254>>12686256Thanks. Just ordered one. With knulli it should make a comfy sega / fighting game system.
>>12686786Why are you looking at android for so long? Aren't you playing games?
>>12686803he's got performative outrage
>>12686858That seems awfully pedantic. I think you're just a little seething bitch.
>>12686858Stop ragebaiting retard. You are literally here instead of playing games.
>>12686858There is definitely a performative aspect to handheld where one continues to tinker with a device, set up frontends, collect a billion roms, buy new devices just to end up playing nothing. Kinda like retro collectors who just buy games and consoles for the sake of having them and they end up sitting on a perfectly arranged display shelf never getting played. As long as you actually play the games it doesn't matter what the rom collection or front end looks like and if a front end helps with immersion and turns it into a console like experience instead of just looking at Android apps. Most Linux devices have front ends, the only difference is that you don't have to do much work to set it up compared to Android where you get choice paralysis and always end up tweaking things to get them just right and never settle on anything.
What date will the new dual-screen everyone is talking about be here?
>>12686801Performative complainer.
>>12686915Ricers and gear queers are staples for hobbies like this. Throwing it all in the "performative" buzzword and spamming slurs just makes discussion boring. If anyone actually talks about games they take it to the rest of /vr/, or to /v/ since everyone's using this shit for Switch and PC games anyways.There's no reason for this thread to be on /vr/ and not /g/

Shout out to the Konkr Pocket Fit, I feel like I'm set for the next few years with this beautiful device.
ThorGODS, which frontend do you people use the most? I'm really liking cockoon but the damn thing crashes sometimes at random and asks me to set it as default launcher every time it happens
The cheapest one for wii and wii u?
>>12687358RP5
boughted a thor a week ago, probably wont ship till september :(how's retroachievement support for ds and ps2 on it? looks like everyone's pissed ARMSX2 is the new emu after they dropped nethersx2, but it still needs tons of updates
>>12687358WiiU
>>12687290That's what everyone says before they buy a new one in a few months
>>12687360Sucks that they started using slower storage. I got my Thor back in October of last year and I played it for a while at first but haven't touched it in months. Nothing against the machine, I just haven't had time.
>>12687358But why? Wii games suck without using an actual wii remote, wii u games need 2 screens and almost all games are ported to switch, and it ALSO has the issue of wii remotes being necessary. Just do this >>12687397
>>12687449You should try mediation instead of posting here. Your blood pressure would thank you.
recent r36s owner here, don't boot up psp minecraft its like 20 ft render distance.
>>12687579I don't know how long a ft is since I'm not a hillbilly, but I doubt it's that bad. I was playing it on a 4-12 chunk render distance back in the day and it only started getting annoying when the white balloon fetuses in the Nether were released that would shoot cannonballs at you. The fog limiting your render distance adds atmosphere.
>>12687585It's not a pleasant experience; you look with your a, b, y, x keys.
>>12687592>you look with your a, b, y, x keys.The fuck is the right analog for?
>>12687592>>12687595Oh shit nvm, it's a PSP version. I didn't know there was a port for the PSP specifically. I imagined a PS Vita in my head and just assumed you look with the right analog.
>>12687596The best part is both joysticks are set for movement, and looking around is a b y x
>>12687184>reducing ram and storage speeds and capacityRelating to this, say for example I'm interested in the Nova; What are the storage speeds likely to be vs. what Retroid was using previously, and in comparison to a micro SD card? Looking up the datasheet of the QCS8550, the SoC is rated for UFS 4.0 onboard flash (max 5800MB/s across up to 2x lanes at 2900MB/s each) and removable media at SD 3.0 speeds (since they advertised a 'TF card' slot and I'm aware that's just a micro SD without the royalties to the SD consortium this would mean UHS-I speeds max so ~100MB/s burst or ~10MB/s sustained) however I'm ignorant as to the quality of the NAND flash they package in with these things, both before and after everything went to shit; is this a situation where you would need to prioritise the 128GB onboard for storing certain types of content or is SD card performance good enough across the board not to matter?
NEW 'HELD JUST DROPPED
>>12687690>wrote about how I wanted a good 4:3 budget handheld with enough power from mangmi in last thread>they make it>it's vertislopMonkeys paw. Also not a fan on the dual stick version not having front speakers, Hope it has video out and is around 100. I'm guessing it's the same chip as the mangmi air x.
>>12687852Actually now that I'm looking it might be 1:1 screen. I'll just keep waiting for my 4:3 I guess...
>>12687424How do Wii controlls even work on a handheld? Can the emulator on android even work with official wii remote and accessories? That would be a decent way to play wii if you connect to an external screen.
>>12687880>How do Wii controlls even work on a handheld?Same as it does on anything else. It either uses gyro for the pointer or if binds the axis to the right stick and you use it as a much slower pointer. It uses left stick as a Nunchuk attachment, Z and C are usually bound to triggers, and then the other buttons are bound to the usual suspects.
>>12687579I don't even bother with psp on my r36s.
>>12687923It barely plays well enough in H700 'helds. Most 2D and 2.5D shooters play well, so do most Isometric RPGs, but locked in 30fps of course, some slow downs in crowded effectsIn my experience I end up removing those that that play well enough anyway, to make room for Portmaster games that dont carry the emulation overhead. PSP and Dreamcast ROMs are huge, usually the biggest Portmaster games are the same size. DVD kinda' thing.
I was inebriated last night and ordered an Ayaneo Pocket Micro 2, Retroid Nova and Anbernic Rotate, or whatever it's called.
https://youtu.be/4V01iU-fcug?si=AedtXh7h1bRwi0WHWhat the heck Russ?
>>12687605Storage speeds basically don't matter for emulation, especially the Nova that's meant for 4:3, so up to 6th gen. It just feels bad how companies have had to downgrade because of the increase in prices.Some Android apps/games do need internal storage and don't let you use an SD card, but for most emulators you can get by with having everything on an SD card.
>>12687970Tried Pulse with the Switch version of P4G on my Thor using Balanced and it froze my whole device lol.
>>12687983What about portmaster/GameNative?etc
is the Pocket Nova going to get Rocknix eventually?I'm interested in picking one up but I despise Android
>>12687360>retroachievementStop breathing
>>12688416It really depends on how popular the device is. But since it seems like the absolute best 4:3 option, and it has the SD8G2, chances are it will have Linux OS options.
>>12687857It looks 4:3.
>>12688416considering it's 8g2, it'll almost certainly get both rocknix and armada support fairly quickly
>>12687690Those joysticks, Jesus.....Be honest, which handheld you've owned felt good to use with both directional pad and joystick?The PSP felt nice to me, I didn't like the switch and og 3ds dpads, is the 2ds also clicky?, I can only tolerate that design with a fully sized controller.
>>126885342ds is mushy. New 2ds is clicky.
>>12687690M button ruins the vibe
Anons, I don't have any of these handheld and currently using my phone and telescopic controller.I was thinking on getting a magicx one 35; what do you think? What's your opinion of that device?
>>12687690>one speaker and no speakers
>>12688534Is that a chinese bootleg or does the switch lite really look that cheap and plasticky?
>>12688801>magicx one 35meme device.Unless you REALLY want to play shmups there's way better handhelds on the ~$100 price range.
>>12688816I actually liked the tate mode option for wonderswan or some ds, and android to let me download roms on the go.What will you recommend?
>>12687969>ordered an Ayaneo Pocket Micro 2Lies, it was available for maybe 3 minutes.I love the original Pocket Micro, but I'm not going to pay unobtanium "collector" prices for the 2. The original is a great size if you can find it for a fair price though.
RpminiKINGS...did we get cucked by the Nova or is our superior ergonomics enough to come out on top??
>>12687970Vibe coded dogshit, snapdragon chips are already power optimized and mediakek doesnt really like clocks/voltage changes because of their shitty binning.The last soc where this matters is the T618, poweesave gov with gammaos gets you like 18 hours of screen on time on low end systems like nes
>>12685782>BonwarjimaYes, I definitely know what this means but maybe explain it for the other anons who might not know.
>>12688814The Switch Lite is meant for children. It is literally meant to be thrown across a room, out a window, from a two story house, onto concrete, and still be playable after you rush outside to dust it off.
>>12688942Nova has too much power for 4:3 anyway
>>12689095>too much power for 4:3Can it even run all PS2 games at a 2x upscale?
These helds all look the same
>>12688416Yes, it's effectively the same machine as the other 8Gen2 retroids, just with a different display.>>12688934Get your butthole fooled, it was a marketing stunt.>>12687970God, what a garbage fucking video even for little man. Zero data on anything.
>>12689095There's no point cheaping out at this point. 865 is obsolete
>>12688801I like it. The price, performance and size are right. The tate gimmick is cute and doesn't really have a downside.
>>12689095>too much powerNo such thing, only a price too high. And it has a good price for something that can play gamecube/ps2 with upscaling flawlessly.
>>12689106Absolutely
>>12689109>Get your butthole fooled, it was a marketing stunt.The "additional production," meaning the Stardust Purple model, was available for about 3 minutes before it sold out. You're the one who has no idea what he's talking about. There was no meaningful additional production, just a handful of purple models no one could buy. The original run was only slightly larger, effectively an engineering batch.The "marketing stunt" nonsense comes from Reddit, which has an irrational hate boner for Ayaneo. There's no elaborate plan here, Ayaneo simply made bad business decisions and sold what they had chips for. The Micro 2 is far too expensive to manufacture and was overshadowed by the Nova, so they're pretending it's a limited model to save face.
>>12689157>flawlesslyShow me Nightshade gameplay

>>12689773pondering.gif[POND E-RING]
>>12689676Wait, really? I got mine a couple months ago at the $200 price. Don’t get me wrong, I like it fine and I don’t need the 6, but still.
>>12689821The new model has 12GB RAM, which is a definite improvement, but kinda doesn't matter considering the SoC it's using.
>>12689676>>12689821It doesn't matter for the 865, plus it's a $10 hike from now on to an already unattractive retail price.>>12689569>they just opened pre-orders without disclosing there were only a few units, publicly announced production was done, then found another batch laying around and canned it as a paper launch when it was convenientMarketing stunt, yeah.
>>12689841Wish I could’ve gotten the G2 at the original price before it got discontinued, but whatever. The RP5 is fine for pretty much everything up to Wii U.
>>12689095The SD 8 Gen 2 can't even run all PS2 games. The PS2 is like the Saturn or the N64, where it requires an insane amount of power to emulate compared to its contemporaries, because it had unique architecture. This chip doesn't have "too much power".

Ayn thor or steam deck? Got 700 to spare.
>>12690217If you're considering the deck, you probably want to play PC games and ARM is shit at that. Under the same logic, ergonomics matter to you and the thor is double shit at that. But if you're paying that much, unless you absolutely need the trackpads, I'd check if slightly faster UMPCs are still at that price.
How do you even go about setting up arcade games on android? I tried getting the house of the dead and virtua cop roms from some romset, and lauching them through MAME and FBNeo in RA, but neither works.

>get a dock for my android handheld>pair dualsense>works mostly okay>open retroarch>built in controls and dualsense are somehow competing, even after meticulously binding it all properly I still can't get the buttons working in gameWhat the fuck is even going on. I have port 1 set to dualsense, all buttons mapped properly, and it's still only taking input from the built in controller in game. I even mapped out port 2, set to the handhelds controls and it didn't help. I wanna get an 8bitdo but now I worry it'll just have the same issue.
>>12690876I swear to God the dual sense it's a decent controller but it's super awkward on PC and android.
>>12690876Yeah I wouldn't use modern first party controllers from playstation on android. 8bitdo should be fine but if I remember correctly they do have some quirks. The pro 3 for example can't use analog triggers unless it's using a Bluetooth connection on android, no idea if they fixed that through a software update.
>>12691043What the fuck. I was totally banking on the 2.4ghz for it's latency. Why is Android so dogshit when it comes to external device functionality.

Been playing my Thor for half a year now and still loving it so far. When are the "shit ergonomics" that people loved to complain about it supposed to kick in?
>>12691313Do you use it without a grip? It's mainly the R2/L2 that needs work.
>>12689773datafrog came back?
>>12691378No grip, only got the transparent TPU shell. I admit the only games where I've been using the L2/R2 was with racing games like NFSU
>>12691313Same, I thought I was going to get the grip after testing without it for a couple of months, but then completely forgot about it because I don't need it.>When are the "shit ergonomics" that people loved to complain about it supposed to kick in?Makes more sense when you consider it from a reviewer's POV, since they test so many devices, they have to nitpick the differences to find stuff to say. The ergonomics on the Thor are worse than a horizontal handheld, but that doesn't mean they are bad.
>>12690554more screen pixels to feed.a133p is not good for anything beyond ps1 and some light n64.

>>12691519Not that anon but any recommendations of high action 2D games that play bad on the Thor?
Everyone and their mother had a 3DS, you know. You can't lie about its ergos.
>>12691575Don't know why but I find the ergos on the Thor much better than the 3DS ones. I have an og XL (broken hinge) and a small n3ds (near perfect condition)
>>12690721for fun.Anyway, I realized both of those games have saturn versions, so I'm going to play that.
>>12690383Gotta find the specific romset for the emulator's version or it won't work. MAME on Android is hell and you still need to use the libretro core last I checked.

I got baited by Retro Russ to order Thor. I cannot wait to watch Seinfeld and play retro games simultaneously.
>>12691696Good fucking luck. It's finicky as shit, the aspect ratio of the lower screen breaks so many apps, and audio balancing is just impossible. It's loud as hell over wired earbuds and Bluetooth audio basically doesn't work on it. It's a terrible experience for watching & gaming simultaneously and it's why I ended up reselling mine. I even used the DSP hacks and it still wasn't worth the hassle. Also it's really uncomfortable to hold for more than 10 minutes. The grip barely helped. I switched to the Konkr Pocket Fit and while I can't multitask it's better in every other way.

>>12692016>I've probably watched at least a couple hundred hours of youtube while grinding.This sounds miserable and might be what I hate most about the Thor's popularity. You're emulating games for fun as a leisure activity. If you need a distraction from that, it's not leisure anymore. It's work. Grinding as a phase of a game is sometimes understandable, but not for hundreds of hours.
>>12692021Last one I did was going for 00 Agent in Goldeneye so I had to replay each level like 100 times because I kinda suck. The fact that I was also listening to a video doesn't mean that it wasn't fun to do.

Anyone ever experience their hands going numb after playing their steam decks for more than 30 minutes?
>>12692226Does it start from the pinky and ring fingers? And does it happen when you play lying down on your back? If so you're just pressing on the ulnar nerve in your elbow. Change position.
>>12687983Sorry for the late reply, but thank you I appreciate the confirmation.The situation with the rising cost of memory really sucks but as long micro SDs remain (relatively) affordable and their speed isn't going to become a bottleneck then conserving your limited 128GB of onboard storage for only the bare necessities should be relatively manageable. I guess I was just wondering if it was a PS5 sort of situation where the asset streaming feature doesn't work properly if you're trying to run a game from an NVMe drive installed in the M.2 expansion slot vs. from the console's 1TB/2TB soldered flash memory (although in this case it's more that, eg. GC/PS2 games will choke because Micro SD cards are so slow).>>12692226Sounds like cubital tunnel syndrome.If changing position doesn't work per >>12692243's recommendation, or there's nowhere else you can play, try looking up some stretching exercises.
>>12692252You may run into some PC games choking running from SD, especially older ones with tons of scattered tiny files, but standard emulation is fine.
>>12692226Get a smaller handheld
>>12692226Do what the people here do and never actually play it
>>12692226You can pull a switch and play it docked when you're tired of handheld mode.

How good is the RG Cube for PS2?If it runs GameCube, PS2 and 3DS I won't need anything else
>>12693271It's not really good outside of lightweight titles. And even most of those will require you to run it at a 1x resolution.
>>12693271Rule of thumb, if you see a device that's under $200, it can't run most PS2 or GC games.
>>12693271Get a retroid pocket 5. It has 12gb of ram now and plays everything you'd want. 150 to 200 is an awkward price point because you can just spend the same amount as a modern game and you're able to play every retro game you'd want with an upscale including 3ds, psp, wii, some switch and pc games.
>>12692017You are so fucking gay
>>12693271rg cube uses the h700 which doesn't run ps2 or gamecube emulation, not sure about 3ds emulation because, to be quite honest with you family, there is not one single 3ds game worth playing ever, simple ass.

can you not make threads about the psp go?
>>12693653I love the idea of the PSP Go, but in practice it's really uncomfortable.
How future proof is the Odin 3 with 16gb of ram?I want a handheld that could handle ps3 emulation, maybe not the most heavy games/triple A slop but at least a good bunch of JRPGs

>>12693743oh that's a bummer. i've never tried one so i wasn't surehonestly anbernic needs to make a slide 2
>>12693763If they made one with a powerful chip and a filled out screen with minimal to no bezels, I'd get one.
>>12693763Sliders look cool, but they got the disadvantages of a horizontal (unprotected screen without a case), and the disadvantages of a clamshells (cramped controls), without any of the benefits of either.

Friendly reminder to stop buying Retroid/Ayn devices if you value your life/househttps://github.com/virtudude/armada/issues/94
>>12694010Sounds more like a problem with putting AI vibe-coded shit on your device.
>>12694014No device should explode just from running buggy software. There is no excuse.
>>12694010Mini Steam Deck falsehoods will end up killing someone, watch.
>>12694019>No device should explode just from running buggy softwareThis is kernel-level, and the charging circuit safeties do nothing to stop you from overheating the battery to a zillion degrees. The devs are retards and removed SoC temperature and voltage limits while simultaneously breaking fan control. There are plenty of reports of overheating devices: https://github.com/virtudude/armada/issues/57
>>12694010So much for that "Mini Steam Deck". They should have really gotten an 'Eck, or an AYN Odin/Ayaneo Air Mendocino with Linux while they were available.
>>12694046Aren't you glad youtubers push completely untested software on redditors from minute 0?
>>12694010VitaCHADS winning so hard rn fr
>>12693763they did.it's called the rg rotate
If I'm going to get a Portal or Thor, is there really any reason I shouldn't just sell my Steam Deck? I don't really play any AAA games or anything new for that matter except jarpigs and indies, and I think a lot of those can be played on GameNative or Switch emulation. Any arguments to keep it that aren't just Gaben worship?
>>12693763>honestly anbernic needs to make a slide 2It needs to be smaller. Slide is fucking huge.>>12694087No analog stick. If it had one instead of the D-pad it would be a viable alternative.
don't care, still using armada (I actually rarely boot into it because games run better with gamenative as long as there's a config for your device)
I leave for a couple of months, come back and /hhg/ threads now take a week to fill. What happend anons
>>12694167>he fell for ayn redditor memelol, go ahead anon - x86 is totally useless now you have muh GameNative, trust me bro it can play ANYTHING!!
>>12694167The Steam Deck has a better GPU and better x86 game support.
>>12694252tripfag keeps taking their trip off and shitting up the thread at worst and even when they behave enough to keep it on they still flood the thread with reddit tier posts
>>12694263now with your tripfag back on
i like my handhelds big but not too big is the the rp6 worth it even with the odin 2 portal being in the same price range
>>12693354Nah
>>12694341odin 2 portal has better battery and much less issue reports. I would recommend O2P over RP6 regardless of size
so the glass on every one of these devices is made of well glass good thing I figured this out before I bought one.you want me to pay 500 dollar for a chinkheld that will break if i drop it from 3 feet. If im using the damn thing im going to drop it eventually
>>12694046why does EVERY fucking custom rom decides its completely fine to overclock these chinkshit devices above default levels as if that cant cause massive problems (and more battery usage), are these devs retarded
You dont need more than a 3326.
>>12694578Shit at postmaster
>>12694578wrong
Anbernig should make a metal passively cooled version of the rg vita pro
>>12694589Doesnt the 3326 have a better GPU? It definitely doesnt get anywhere near as hot
Nova is gonna be peak be im afraid, as good as its ever gonna get
>>12694635>android
>>12694167Ergonomics on AYN devices suck, unless you buy their "optional" grips.
>>12694263> Why are these threads empty for weeks, no posts at all?> HiuuuRrr DurrRRr Tripfag fills it with trash and hurts me all the time, TripFag is filling it up with hurting me Hurrr> Thread empty for a week, no posts at all> Tripfag is flooding it> Thread is empty, tripfag posted 3 times> OMG WOULD YOU STOP THIS FLOOD!!??> Thread is dead> Flooded
>>12694565>are these devs retarded?(you) already know the answer to that one.
>>12694635It's the best 4:3 device I've seen from chinks but I'm done looking for one. I'm happy with my Thor.
>>12694734>GilettepostingOff to reddit and sharty you go tourist.
>>12694167>Any arguments to keep it that aren't just Gaben worship?Better compatibility I guess, but do you need the money that much? Might as well keep it just in case.As someone that has a Thor and also mostly just plays indies, JRPGs and VNs on PC, I'm happy with it.
>>12686798>ask in vita gen>no replies >ask in /hhg/>no repliesI’m serious look at black 1000 vita buttons on sale compared to 2000 buttons theyre the same buttons. someone mislabeled them forever ago and now theyre just unavailable.
>>12694902>I have no argument but btw I'm a newfag Cool
>>12694167>Any arguments to keep it that aren't just Gaben worship?You would be getting rid of what is ostensibly a handheld PC for a phone that has significant concessions to play the games the Steam Deck can play natively. GameNative and Switch emulation is not only not great on either of the devices you mentioned, but it heavily eats into your battery to do so and runs the system hot whereas on the Steam Deck you can play any PC game natively without those weird concessions the Thor or Portal would require and play games far newer than they could even poorly run if they even boot at all. They both also require bespoke drivers to get the best performance out of PC gaming and Switch gaming whereas on the Steam Deck you're just using a PC. That's also ignoring the fact that android emulators are generally worse than PC emulators.Even if you are not playing AAA games GameNative is not that kind in terms of performance or games it can run. Assuming the games don't instantly crash you're likely going to be having piss poor framerates, and if you're not having piss poor framerates your system will likely be running unreasonably hot so you need a secondary cooling solution. There's a reason why every Youtuber touting it as something revolutionary tells you it's basically just for 2D indies and anything more demanding than 2D indies has huge asterisks.
>>12694010>uninstalls lagtroid>device fucking blows upJust get a Steam Deck
What is the deal with the anti android fag?
>>12694625apparently they have the same gpu.mali g31 mp2.
>>12695061We are numerous
>>12695061Poorfag cope, just remember that, it explains most of this thread, and how criticisms of devices over $200 are always retarded nitpicks that don't actually matter.
>>12695073>>12695074Sharteens everyone
>>12695061android is a bad os for gaming specifically.it has gotten better, but still not as good as a specialiced linux distro or even fucking windose.
>>12695061Just retards being retards and fanboys being fanboys.
>>12695061>phone OS Dogshit poo poo
>>12695079it's definitely better than windows
>>12695086Is what you tourists always say
So when's Valve going to make a smaller Steam Deck? I don't have gorilla hands and I'm not massively obese.
>>12695087windows is better than linux for gaming.so, it is also better than android.https://www.notebookcheck.net/Windows-vs-Linux-gaming-Test-reveals-clear-winner-but-community-disagrees.1343363.0.html
>>12695117>windows is better than linux for gaminglol no>notebookcheck>only PC games are tested>only modern AAA slopthis is a retro thread on a retro board. emulation has always been better on linux. the ui/ux of distros like batocera, bazzite and steamOS are significantly better than windows.
holy fuck the niggerfaggot trannyjanny of /vr/ has an adamant deathwish, alright, i shall grant ypu the death you so crave, you vehemeny fucking NIGGER
>>12695121now say it without crying.
>>12695117>>12695130see >>12695130
I don't get all the crying about android. Once you set up a frontend you can basically forget which OS you are using. You can even get ESDE and pretend it's a linux handheld.
>>12694167It doesn't work.>>12694252Short of it is:>taxes put a stop to american collecting so less people willing to try new stuff>memory apocalypse means this market is on a timer>anbernic releases went bi-monhtly and were like 6 stinkers in a row, rapidly on their way to replace powkiddy as the number one recycler of old chinkhelds at inflated prices>powkiddy is dead, selling rackets>ayaneo looked like it was about to save the 4:3 and $100 bracket, fucked up the screen>retroid fucked up the RP6 design and launch, 12GB models had faulty memory>aynfags only show up to ask for peer approval, thor-ists don't usually stick around>mangmi air x was okay but hindered by taxes, the O2P competitor got screwed over by arriving too late with a 865 and not being cheaper>the mortgage screen was real and revealed a few weeks ago, thread picked up, tripfags got pissy about people looking forward to it and not joining their cries for insipid photo bombs and had a 3 thread long tantrum accusing everyone of not playing games, only to finally reveal they were wounded over getting banned in stupid gay ass forum drama>>12695207That's not true, it got tons of issues, so much so it's perfectly reasonable to give away idle power saving and Switch. ES-DE has me switching RA input polling to work with all cores for example for example, people are compiling duckstation manually as a libretro core, everyone complains about file permissions every other day, obnoxious latency in some cases, etc.
>>12694167>is there really any reason I shouldn't just sell my Steam Deck?Why would you when it's a perfect NDS device?
>>12695061iToddlers
>>12695079Linux is better at the actual games but android is so versatile that I can't be a linux main
just dual boot android and linux
>>12695309Causes unnecessary stress to the GPU
>>12695309I do, haven't touched android since. Helps I don't give the slightest shit about switch.
>>12695309that'll make chinkhelds explode tho?
>>12695238Oh yeah, I forgot about TrimUI. They released a new horizontal to no fanfare and then really screwed up their recent mid-high end metal vertical with a retroactive massive price hike pre-launch.
>>12695321>I hate video gamesYou're so cool
>>12695429Just the bad ones, but thank you.
>>12695238>>anbernic releases went bi-monhtly and were like 6 stinkers in a row,Come on, the RG rotate makes a decent EDC, the biggest issues are the dog shit screen and D-pad. Don't forget the fact that they downgraded the Rg34xxSP ram
Bully: Anniversary Edition was just added portmaster.
Retail black nova, now with texturing. Comes from their PR so no real opinions on it.
>>12695518Not interested in the nova. Don't get me wrong,it looks great but I have so many handhelds I really can't justify it.
>>12695526Ok
>>12695526I probably would have a hard time justifying it if I already had the RP6/O2P, but I don't. Just glad I never settled for the Mini, really.
>>12695518Nice but what I really want to see are the retail transparent colors because sometimes the colors don't look like the renders.
>>12695536Apparently some insufferable fag who spams gay gifs all day is getting an ice blue, we'll see.
>>12695535I own an RP5, RP mini V2, RPC and a Thor. I have way to many options
>>12695518>>12695541russ review when?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RLqXYJ8rLgTried making it a webm but it encoded too shit.
>>12695445nice - will give it a try
>>12695445Nice, will finally play it
Stop buying more handhelds. You have enough and don't even play games anymore.
>>12695615Who are you trying to convince?Me?Or.............yourself.........?
>>12695246Imagine putting the steam deck sideways into a telescopic controller.
>>12695518Kinda crazy how much better not having a full glass front looks.
>>12695518Imagine needing a reminder of where the cross/circle/square/triangle buttons are. Pathetic.
>>12695518>>12695541>>12695565Idk why people prefer transparent plastic, If I ever get the nova(waiting for reviews and to make sure the screen isnt a crock of shit) it's gonna be the pure black version.Also thank god the ABXY letters aren't colored, it's my least favorite thing about my rg35xx h
The plastic looks cheap. Not sure about this one lads 477M is still better
>>12695807>The plastic looks cheap.and that's a good thing
>>12695814No, it's not. Retroidium plastic is known to crack
>>12695518Fucking insane how hard the rp mini MOGS They couldnt just update the chipset on that?
>>12695445kek does it run on 3326?
>>12695807>stick directly under dpadthese fucking retards never learn
>>12694010>using a custom firmware not supporter or endorsed by the company that overclocks chinkshit to not recommended levels>destroys the deviceYou have to be a special kind of mouthbreather to do retarded shit and blame it on the company. But hey, people nowadays LOVE to do what e-waste reviewer #95235 suggest on their videos so I'm not surprised that some retard already managed to make a handheld explode.
Anyone try the arcade ridge racer 1 and 2 ports on eden? Can't get it working on me rp5
>>12695604update: not working on my RG34XXSP with MuOS, just black screens. oh well
>>12695807Looks like the same plastic as the rp4/pro. So, not cheap at all.
>>12695518I day one preordered the Nova, really hoping it lives up to the hype. All I want is a comfy, smaller companion for my Portal, and thus far nothing has been the right match. I'd love for the Nova to be the goldilocks handheld that lets me sell the rest.
>>12694885>high effort post>zero replies Megakek
>>12695831For real bro. Proves none of those faggots really play games. Spend 2 hours playing a joystick centred game and you'll soon feel your alligator claws forming and cramping and hating that stick placement forever.Good. I don't have to think about spending money on another gatchaheld.
