>>12699210what else? Tell me more about yourself i dare you
>>12699214i have sex with men AND women
I'm torn between black and snes grey. And holy shit the screen is dopehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eSHpn3p1vQg
>>12699214I'm also torn between spending the money on a handheld vs a 5000 btu air conditioner for my gameroom.
>>12699241Too hot, get ac.mmmmh, playing Nintendo tucked on my bed with lowest temperature settings, THIS is what life's all about.
>>12699252that's right. Fan full blast and chinkheld on power save mode
>>12699239On one hand Im scared to preorder without proper reviews and a couple months of other people not reporting major issues but I'm also fearful after Russ hypes it up as the best thing ever it will get a price hike a la thor
>>12699256the only reason fir the price hike was the ram. Nova is already priced in
>>12699182Shakespearean betrayal edition
>>12699256The price hike is a given like two months in the way things are going and will have nothing to do with reception, but unless you live in a place where that difference gets multiplied tenfold you shouldn't beta test.
>>126991954:3fags be like>this screen format is le wrong somehow
just got one of these for 90 dollars and installed Rocknix on the internal storage ( i fucking hate android) and this thing is so much nicer than the pos anbernic device that bricked itself out of nowhere. only thing i miss is the screen size but this one is way nicer tbqh
>>12699256I should add that moorechip has a tendency to warn of price hikes in advance so far, even if sometimes rather close to the deadline, so you can just keep track of their announcements to avoid FOMO.>>12699283First I'm hearing of that running Linux, nice. How's the d-pad?
>>12699239HOLY SOVL THAT GC COLORWAY
>>12699283forgot to mention i got the retro model (grey with red buttons) its very nice in person>>12699287>First I'm hearing of that running Linux, nice. How's the d-pad?dpad is pretty good imo, no accidental presses, seems pretty precise. i play mostly gba and super nintendo on it so far and it feels just fine
>>12699195I like the way you think
>>12699294Seems kike everyone agrees on the gc one. SOLD OUT
>>12699268what betrayal! No raugh! Many thread! Post comment and go! Fat roser gameboy ha ha
>>12699304REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>12699314I HAVE JUST NOW PRE-ORDERED THE GAMECUBE VERSION
>>12699318Arso me
>>12699239I turn Trails off first thing when I boot up a new game of iii/vc. Hate that shit.
>>12699326Funny. I started Vice City as we speak and thought the bloom was a bit too much. Then read your comment and i just remember seeing that trail option and not knowing what it means. Now it looks soo much better. I might turn it on from time to time but it looks so good like this. Good tip anon, have a good fortune cookie:>You're pretty good looking. Train legs a bit and you'll be irresistible!
Alright fuckers. How many here are getting the Bokia Nova.
>>12699326Do you play the ps2 or the decompilation?
>>12699239Oh, I fucked up and preordered the Crystal model.Tempted to email them and request it be swapped to a Black, but I've heard their support team doesn't really respond to emails so I'm unsure it's worth the hassle. (also I'll be using mine on a lengthy daily train commute, and maybe if it looks like cheap shit it'll be a less attractive target for theft?)
>>12699256I will have to wait for more reviews. Russ has decent autistic attention to detail but I've found he has a tendency to downplay issues that make the device e-waste
Off topic for this thread but since it's a emulation device I figure this thread is close enough. Just got mine in the mail.
>>12699476if it means anything I thought the crystal white version looked the best of the transparents.The renders embellished how good the crystal d-pad/buttons were gunna look though
>>12699501The buttons definitely look worse than was advertised; in the promotional renders the plastic is perfectly clear and with razor-sharp legending, but under the lighting conditions of the video they seem milky with diffuse printing of the legending characters. What really bugs me though is the analogue sticks lighting, the truncated cross-shaped LED rings weren't shown at all in the renders and they stick out like a sore thumb.Fuck it, I've emailed them requesting a swap to Black. I definitely prefer the opaque colours now, but I'll live with Clear if that's what they end up sending me.
>>12699495GEE MISTER.
>>12699489>I've noticed..Like what?
>>12699526a clear coper.Preorderinos are the reason for dlcs and shitty games at launch.You guys are so bored with your lives that i truly hope the bookia nova cures your depression. So long losers
>>12699526Imagine not immediately turning off the lighting around the sticks as soon as you get the device. I don't even know how that crap ever became a staple thing. Why on earth would someone want something that pulls attention from the actual screen
>>12699239for me its the clear purpleIt will match my atomic purple rpc and ayn thor max
behold, the rg34xx 2
>>12699495Nice, Ive had a regular Mister for five tears now and I use it everyday. Playing umihara kawase on it right now. It has retroachievement support now which has been fun but I don’t take it too seriously.
>>12699885My only other mister experience was years ago when a buddy and I built a MAME cab and stuffed a mister into it. It was horrible then but that was because we didn't research at all and thought these things were like the plug and play android boxes. We did get it up and running but it was a lot of frustrating poking around. Got update all running now, the hope is the mister replaces every 5th gen and back console for daily use. Gonna spend a lot of time with N64 and Saturn to see if the Mister can replace those consoles since people ae 50/50 on if they can.Game room is a mess since I started pulling stuff out to paint. Once I decide if mister is good to go for N64 and Saturn i'm pulling out the TV and consoles to finally get around to fixing up the walls and painting.My only advice, when you people buy a house. Paint/repair everything before you move in. We moved in without touching anything and figured we go room by room. Well that's a huge pain in the ASS.
>>12699320Look at the size of those paws!HAHAHAHAHA, AHH!!!
>>12699909Sorry anon but you're basically going to have to redecorate each room of your home every 5-8 years until you die so best to get used to it.

we're never going to get kino like the original brick again are we?
>>12699987Absolute phaggot
>>12699954To be honest that is the truth, we did our master bedroom when we moved in 7ish years ago and it already needs a touch up but it would be starting we walls in good condition. My house is old and has lath and plaster walls, lots of imperfections/cracks/failed plaster to fix before I even get to paint. I can paint a room in a day but plaster repair? It will take a week to get my game room ready for paint.>>12700037That is the case but that's not important to me. I only bought the dock because that's where the SNAC port is. Also, kinda shocked that this 15 year old VA Vizio has only 2 frames of lag? That's crazy. When I redo the game room i'm planning on a new OLED anyways but it's shocking to see how good this old TV is. I also have a retro tink4k new in box for use on that TV though the SS One has built in filters that I want to mess with. I love my CRT but if I can get a OLED to look almost as good to save wear and tear on my CRT i'll take it.
>Cocoon updated and now it looks worseThanks I guess.
>>12700129>Deathsmiles IIX at us all
>>12699769If its just a better RG34XX like how the Ayaneo Pocket Air is basically a better RG40XXH then I'm interested.
>>12700152You can change most of the puke colored stuff back. The problem is that it's pretty laggy and buggy right now but that's to be expected on the launch of a big update.
>>12700236Yeah, I just spent like an hour changing it back to mostly how it was, I disabled all the new animations because I noticed it was laggy too.I've yet to see any useful new features, but I'm guessing it's social stuff that I'm never going to use, like discord integration.
>>12700241I like the extra slot on the dock, having the options for grid pages, and having android settings available with the right shoulder now.
You have a RG476H, RG477V and RPC. Money is no object. Do you buy a Nova?
>>12700249>having android settings available with the right shoulder nowYeah, I like that the top right pill button has a use now, but I don't like that you can't use the controller to clear notifications and have to tap the screen to do it, seems like an oversight to not have a shortcut button for it.
>>12699949Did you just laugh at my lil bro?
>>12700148i see long text i slip
>>12700264Retroid buttons are my favorite, so yeah.
>>12699239i have been subbed for a while, but it seems they only make vids on retroid products and they all seem like shill vids (no proof of this though)...i just wish they would cover other devices like joey
Anons, I don't have any handheld as I'm currently using my phone and a telescopic controller. It's an upper mid soc which actually let me emulate almost everything (newer games via moonlight).What I want is a device for handheld games, mostly gb/gbc/gba/gg/ws. I know ds will be on another tier.What'd you recommend as a budget option that would also let me apply light shaders (dot matrix, LCD grid)?
>>12699769It seems fairly unnecessary to be honest. The 34XX's advantage is that it's basically a 1:1 GBA with accurate-feeling buttons (Barring L and R) just with a crappier d-pad you can fix. This seems more like they wanted to make their own take on a GBA for the hell of it.
>>12700451You can squeeze some DS out of budget ones. Your aspect ratios are all over the place though, I'm inclined to recommend the 34xx for the screen you can overclock to 120hz for the WS coverage while also being very close to doing it integer, at the cost of unconventional face and shoulder buttons. Shaders are a considerable hurdle on budget shit (probably worse now with the DDR3 downgrade), depends which shaders you mean exactly.
>>12700485It doesn't have to be the cheaper ones, but I don't want to overspend either. I know for gb/gbc/gg something squarer will do, and 3:2 for gba or ws (as you said).Yhe point here is to get something comfier for those consoles than a phone with controller attached.
>>12700508Well, that's the problem, there's not much variety on the old handheld mimicry side, it goes from $60 anbernics to ayaneo's $250 lalaland with no in-between. Maybe wait to see how >>12699769 pans out and if it's not a paper launch, it's probably getting a stronger SoC which would do better with shaders. I'll charge my 34xx and get back to you.
Recommend me a good handheld for under $200 thay plays up to Wii U.
>>12700508That shader runs fine. It's the simple grid one, these naming conventions are so messy I can never recall which is which by name.>>12700578Used RP5 (should consider a RP6 at that point, it's a no-brainer for the jump in performance). Also look into the RAM situation for Wii U, some anon here keeps bringing up memory leaks.

RG40XX HSP sized clamshell? RG34XX SPbigger version? RG35XX SPthey'll all play gb/gbc/gba/gg/ws with light shaders, some of the CRT shaders will run slow though
>>12700698>little gameboy? RG35XXI'd push back on this to do a TrimUI Brick personally. Same price but slightly better chip, and GB/GBC/GG games look incredible on it.
>>12700667>steal chink videos with AI voiceover>prohibit your theft from being embedded on sitesLittle shit.
DS/3DS emu makes this genuinely compelling now. Probably gonna order with the second screen.
>>12700737I wish that was my channel, i don't even have a google account
>>12700756Keep in mind they're making something dual screen next and the addon is out of sync like it was for the RP5 until it got fixed.>>12700764That wasn't directed at you, Nittrx is a known fraud.
>>12700778if the review is fake that guy is a genius
>>12700707>>12700698I'll echo that, although I'll suggest the 35XX Pro or BatleXP G350 as another alternative. Basically comes down to whichever model of Game Boy you grew up with or have a preference for. Pocket, TrimUI Brick. Colour, Pro/G350. DMG, 40XX V. None of them are spot-on, but they get close enough to get the job done. Regular 35XX I just don't find very comfortable, and it doesn't hit as a GameBoy clone the way the others do.
>>12700698>some of the CRT shaders will run slow thoughMost.>>12700783No, the guy takes videos fresh off of bilibili, runs AI translation and puts it up on youtube as if it's his. Doesn't help bilibili is super restrictive making videos 360p unless you login, so it's actually easier to humor that fag.https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1TqKA6TEAu/

>>12700593Check the Gameboy color one, the one with pixel shadow of you don't mind. Thank you.One I thought was the magic one x, having android give me some peace of mind to transfer roms via ftp for example or ssh. Do these devices have something alike?
>>12700836Give me a link, my rocknix is out of date and I can't be assed to update. Short of not having wifi chip (e.g. 28xx) they all do FTP and SSH.

>>12699239Genji doesn't look like it runs at full speed, I know from playing Genji on the PS2 and owning quite a few Genjis in my time
>>12700902and i recommend using the "dot" videofilter instead. Battery lasts mich longer and it looks about the same
>>12700451Choose an Anbernic of your preferred form factor on AliExpress and never come back to this general if you want to be confident in your purchase and not fomo towards something else
>>12700935Oh, that one, I thought you were talking the recent one. See? Can't keep track of this shit. Works too. Just doesn't touch the edges of the screen because it has to be integer, like a real GBA would display GBC without stretching.
>>12700451
>>12700667Why the fuck would Thor owners care about the Nova? If they bought a Thor, they clearly want something with a second screen. Call me when the Retroid DS comes out.
>>12701062
>>12701073If you're going to use that dumb looking addon, you might as well just buy the Thor instead.
>>12701073You mean 2ds kek.There's still NO double screen 3d handheld apart from the 3ds. #3DSGODS
i stopped using 3d completely about a week after i got my 3ds, aside from turning it on for a couple minutes whenever i started a new game
>>12701083>buy the thor>thumb at 90° to reach dpad
>>12701036Thanks anon, I guess you mean the one with relfections? Don't need any of that, I just use light stock shaders, to avoid the hassle.
>>12699239any reason to get the 12GB model?
>>12701137No
>>12701101I keep going back to my 3ds maybe like 3 times a year or so to play some pokemon, fire emblem. Maybe I'll play some oot. I love using the 3d and some games look absolutely amazing like oot and shovel knight or resident evil revelations.Awesome little handheld. I haven't played the laytons or kid icarus yet. Maybe I'll do some mgs3.Imagine being in 2005 and being told one day that in 10 years there will be a nintendo 3d handheld where you can play metal gear solid.The 3ds is simply godsend.
Guy is offering me to trade my N3DSXL and Vita for his ayn thor max. Should I bite
>>12701181you should tell him to kill himself.the 3ds xl by itself costs more than the thor.
>>12701181no
>>12701181No.

>>12700451Analogue Pocket, easy.
>>12701062Bro, the games ARE the second screen. All y'all do is play games to keep your hands busy while you watch tv.
>>12701012Ah yes, what every game needs. A very noticeable, very unfitting grid over the whole screen for literally no reason.
>>12701103No one has had any issue with it so far. If you're still parroting this bad faith argument, it tells me you don't own the device.
>>12701137Do you want PS2 and Wii to work upscaled without as much issue?>>12701174OoT is better in ship to be quite desu with you.
>>12701270>I am no longer Retroid Nova, I am now Evil Retroid Nova.
>>12701283>>12701137I'm just played a bit of God of War 2 at 1080p with widescreen patches, and RAM usage never went above 7GB, so you're probably fine.>>12701283Not him, but how annoying is it to install ship of harkanian on android? I'll probably use that next time I replay OoT and MM
>>12701270Says I need to be signed in. Is there a translucent purple w/ all black buttons/d-pad?
>>12701287Ship, 2Ship, and LADX on android are all really easy, but the first two will throw you for a loop if you're unlucky. LADX is straightforward, for the Ships you grab the Gamecube's N64 roms for OoT and MM off Vimm, set up the apps, save your game at the first opportunity, then (very important) copy the root folders and paste their contents into their Android/Data folders, otherwise it will not remember your saves. After that it's smooth sailing (heh). Only real hangups are menu navigation since it's made for PC but you'll get the hang of it. Also I don't remember which folder (Data or root) is used for mods so I just update both folders any time I change anything. Speaking of mods, apparently for LADX you have to rebuild the apk from scratch if you want more than what's in there, but for the original game but better and with a slew of QoL options, vanilla is more than enough.
rp5 for 180 good???
>>12701352Not bad
>>12701279>noticeable Uhh..that's the point?>unfittingAre shaders and filters unfitting now? Enlighten us with your expertise on how to play gb then rather than simply just talking shit. Post config and pictures we are waiting.
>>12701280>no oneI have a 3ds and the dpad is in the same position. That's why i don't play gb or snes there, it'd annoying af. It's not a super popular take but nobody prefers playing dpad centred on 3ds over say a gba. But you know better i guess since you get butthurt whenever someones says something against the toy you bought.

>>12701510hell yeah, brother
>>12701518If deck, ally and legion where all running on windows do you think the deck would dominate? There's your answer
>>12701523Yes. Not that it matters because not only that premise is false, my usecase is literally all that matters, but I'll roll with it. Ally had stable Linux in the form of Bazzite very shortly after releasing with benchmarks on the improvements repeatedly making the news and Legion Go outright shipped with SteamOS. Why haven't they overtaken the Deck?
>>12701518Did you know statistics and common sense contradict each other more often than not?
>>12701527Right so the steamdeck main selling point isn't the fact that it runs on steam, got it.I guess steam machine would sell like hot cakes too if it ran on windows and was called the cubemachine. Yeah i bet. Bye
>>12701527Because most handheld pcgamers already have a deck on which to play all their steam catalog. What retarded question
some of you here need to go over reddit ask if the next handheld you want to buy is worth it
>>12701529Point is both are entirely baseless agendas pushed by retards looking to make my life worse.>>12701530>Right so the steamdeck main selling point isn't the fact that it runs on steam, got it.Correct. Deck hardware gets mogged in every single way by these two, that function exactly the same if you just flash an USB stick or buy the correct version from Lenovo, a very low bar for a hobbyist machine. Their prices also went down to the point they cost about the same, before the memory crisis fucked everything. Deck sells for the trackpads, there is no argument against this.>>12701531No. We know these things didn't just have an initial burst of sales and then just stopped selling, more people kept joining "late" and they chose trackpads.

>>12701651Yeah but cum inside it first. It's only fair since I'll be splooging my Thor before selling it to you.
>>12701651No. You can store your Thor inside of it.

>>12702009The Portal is exactly the same; DC dimming to 40%, then PWM after that. This is typical for an OLED.
>>12701904I got tired of him saying Anberlic and unsubbedIt wasn't funny the first 40000 times
>>12701904but is it really shilling when it's out of production?
>>12702009Is this something that you can only see with a camera? I tried doing it on my Thor and can't see anything. Only weird thing I noticed is that the bottom screen is kinda purple at minimum brightness.
So I bought a 40XX H, thinking that since it's running Linux it will perform similarly to my desktop PC in terms of input lag, at least for the lightweight games it can emulate. But I'm sitting here right now comparing VVVVV running on my PC and the native portmaster version (so no emulation layer, right?) and even that simple ass shit game is severely more laggy on the chinkheld. While the movement of the character is certainly not super snappy even on x86 (might be partly intentional), it's like dragging through molasses on the held. I made sure to run them both with Vsync off and the PC version capped at 60fps instead of 5000fps to get a fair comparison.What gives? How am I supposed to play anything else besides jarpigs on this thing? How are people playing anything on Android devices where input lag is supposedly even worse?
>>12702156>input lagyou get used to it
>2026>still no handheld that uses 3ds style circle padsWhen the fuck will we get them. I'm sick of this joystick bullshit none of these handhelds are shaped like a controller. They're an ergonomics nightmare.
>>12702183Yeah because the 3DS was so comfortable to hold
>>12702156I might be too bad at video games to notice input lag. Even on PC I don't notice any difference between playing native PC games and emulators.
>>12702184Yes, it was. One of the most comfortable handhelds of all time is the new 3ds. Compare that to the Vita which was a nightmare to hold because JOYSTICKS.
>>12702191I suppose it's possible you have tiny childlike hands. I had to get a grip for mine.
>>12702193I guess that's what really bothers me. None of the handhelds being made now are made for girl's hands. I guess the really cheap tiny ones without any power. But I want to be able to play ps2 damn it!
>>12702210I'm 5'0" and the Thor is really comfortable for me with no grip. I have to play for like 3 hours straight before I my thumbs start fatiguing, but that also happens with regular controllers.
>>12702215Wtf, literal midgets in my /hhg/
>>12701934What the Chinese? Only if it a girl.
>>12702223It's Tussy..
What should I buy for my birthday tomorrow? Budget is $200. Looking for something that has the power of an ayn Thor, but less faggy looking.
>>12702378For $200 you get to go with the manliest option and not play on anything at all
>>12702392>t. Thor tranny
>>12702378There's nothing with that power for $200, especially when you consider shipping costs, more like $250-300.
>>12701495This is peak. How hard is it to actually swap the buttons?
>>12701825Vulkan: https://github.com/mattakins/Pixel_Transparency/releases/tag/2.0GLSL: https://github.com/mattakins/Pixel_Transparency/releases/tag/1.1>>12702140Yes and no. Some people are sensitive to it, but mostly if it's low frequency (ie RG556/7), people put up with phones above 1000Hz just fine. It's also said some chinks get nauseous with OLED TVs, it's a whole thing there apparently which would explain why OLED is so low priority.
>girlfriends 3yo child snatched my handheld when i wasnt looking and broke off the right trigger and lost the piece, probably hid it god knows where>10 dollarydoos to order a new replacment button from chinklandi hate the toddler phase.
>>127024274 screws on backplate, seemingly no plastic tabs going by the chink videos, 5 screws to the daughter board and 2(?) ribbon cables. Pics from their PR.
You should know this, but be gentle with ribbon cables. It's not rocket surgery but people get careless.
Not retro, but a handheld questionHow well can something like the RG Rotate handle TCOAAL through JOIPlay?
>>12702378Get an rg cube. Plays ps2 and gc games pretty well.
>>12702467Last time I tried a MV game on X28, it was heating up enough to make the screen uncomfortably hot. The 1:1 screen won't be great for that either.
>>12702456True, I permanently fucked up the shoulder buttons on one of my joycons.It was one of the drifty 2017 joycons, so it wasn't that big of a loss, but it makes me be more careful with my other controllers.This shit didn't happen with the gamecube, I made many soldering works on a lot of them without much issue, damn mite sized components...
>>12702378Don't be dumb just go a little over and get an Odin 2 portal or a Retroid pocket nova and you will be much better served.If you want budget $200 is way too high, if you're willing to shell out that kind of money might as well invest in actual quality
Help me decide.>>12702156>portmaster version (so no emulation layer, right?) Depends on the game, they pull a lot of tricks to get these going on ARM.>I made sure to run them both with Vsync off and the PC version capped at 60fps instead of 5000fps to get a fair comparison.You're still getting better latency if the refresh rate is above 60hz, but these handhelds can't really match PC, no.>>12702378Whatever you do, don't fall for the just under $200 trap, namely anbernic's, they mostly suck and cost too much for what you're getting.
>>12702518Top left, senpai. Reminds me of my old comfy black GC controller.
>>12702467Heh
>>12702538What's the one in the front with GC colors? Ideally I'd go for something as small as possible, it feels like it'd work well on a Gameboy-sized handheld desu
>>12702378If you live near a city you might be able to snag a deal off someone. I got a Konkr Pocket Fit off FB for $200 a month back. It kicks ass. If that's not an option, settle for a Retroid of some kind but be prepared for it to not match Thor power.
>>12702615Rp5 aka the only chinkheld you will ever need
>>12702156>tfw play mostly on android and just have funFeels good. Also I know this is whataboutism, but input lag is a spectrum. You have the barely noticeable linux, the barely noticeable-er android, the more noticeable Thor, and then you have MMX collection vol 1.
>>12702467Let me put it this way, my phone has 16GB RAM and it still heats up in some Joiplay games.
Whatever happened to that autobots transform and roll out dual screen or whatever handheld? Never caught on, I'm guessing?
>>12702762still available for $699.00 (save $100!)
>>12702769Jfc nevermind, thought it would be under $300 at most lol
>>12702774hey now it comes with free screen protectors
>>12702762>Never caught on, I'm guessing?From what I remember of reviews at the time it was overpriced, had way too many points of failure, the entire rotating thing was a pointless gimmick, it ergonomically was a mess because it was super flag, and I can't remember if there was some issue between the screen framerates or something? It's been a while since I saw a video on it but most reviews on it were disappointed or outright saying most of the touted features were a waste.
>>12702620Rp6 and nova match thorrp5 and flip match thor lite
>>12699182I'm getting by with my controllers, but at this point that's all I'm doing, the buttons on my IPEGA PG9083s aren't too good, the MOCUTE 060 and the BSP D6 for my smartphone are doing better, but I like the bigger screen on the tablet because shaders look better on it, more CRT like. Anyways both are a pain when getting messages or calls, or when they're low on battery. I feel that I should go for actual handhelds in the future, though where I live this was the cheapest option when I consider that I already had the smartphone and tablet.I'd say the only handheld within my current budget would be the R36s or something like it.
Where do you live?The USB c gamesaaar lite is actually pretty damn good and fits a tablet
>>12702518The blue one looks really fucking good.
Honestly the 405m with gamma is still unmatched for DC and below
>>12699326You're a nigger
>unmoggable
>>12703049There's no way this thing is somehow more comfortable than a regular retroid. Maybe if it was shaped like a controller I would understand the clamshell design
>>12703034this is incredibly offensive and racist.
>>12702156>black frame insertion: ON>run ahead: ON>audio latency and frame delay: TWEAKED AND PERFECTEDYup, it's lagfree gaming time
>>12702156This is why I could never quite get stuck in with the chinhelds. I really liked the form factor of the Miyoo A30 so it's a shame. PS Vita just has a faster input response than any handheld on the market right now.
>>12703014>405MI still have mine, but it has a few critical flaws. Stick top feels wrong when it's mostly best at d-pad-centric games. The display is the worst of any Chinese handheld I've owned. And although metal is nice in theory, it's not worth the extra weight.
Russ Nova first impressions WHEN?!
>>12702816Noo, anon, don't fall for it. You were the reason I switched from a miyoo mini to a phone + controller, and there's no going back, at least until I can get a handheld that's on par with my phone (which I don't have the money to spend on right now).Only thing worth considering would be something pocketable (3.5", no analog) for playing gb on the go, but even that would just end up as unnecessary in the end.
>>12703210Well, he happens to love the steam machinehttps://youtu.be/p2xWwM-L83k?si=XEleQUpjWsAq8s9r
>>12703249Everything is unnecessary in the end.
Help me choose between these two. I despise all the transparent colors(game cube is even worse) so it's definitely between these two.On one hand I would rather not have rainbow buttons but the pure black also looks too boring and "psp modern". Ideally I would prefer a grey version with black/dark grey buttons but realistically I know that if I buy it I will never bother switching the buttons
>>12703685Play some games first and then decide.
>>12703685Not going to help you out of spite. Play some games.
Why would you recommend the RP6 over the Nova? Isn't most of the content you're supposed to play in 4:3 or an aspect ratio better suited for it?GB/GBC/GG/NGP/NGPC // NES/SNES/N64/GC/MS/MD/DC/PSX/PS2/PCE.GBA is the odd one, which leaves only what for 16:9? Switch? PSP? GameNative/Streaming?
>>12703395This absolute faggot will review anything he's sent and heck yeah he LOVES it!!!
>>12703749>which leaves only what for 16:9? Switch? PSP? GameNative/Streaming?yes, all that. the thing is that with a large 16:9 screen you can play all those more retro systems just fine, sure with black bars on the sides but the actual game screen is completely fine whereas in a smaller 4:3 screen 16:9 will be unplayably small
>>12703758that's not a fair assessment at all. russ has far more integrity than your average tech reviewer and he's been relentlessly critical of many products he got for free
>>12703769C'mon, Tuss..
>>12703749Recomps too, like OoT and MM and LADX and Prime Trilogy and Unleashed
>>12703758Or it's a legitimately good machine...
>>12703749An RP6 and the Nova have pretty much the same 4:3 screen area.If you do the math (ask an AI) and letterbox the horizontal of a loss of a 5.5 inch (RP6) 16:9 screen you wind up with a 4.49 inch 4:3 display where the Nova has a 4.5 inch 4:3 screenConversely I own an Odin 2 Mini with a 5 inch screen and get 4.10 inches for 4:3 in case someone wants to check the math for the ratioNow even if you really want to mince the .01 of an inch and say that losing that is a legitimate detriment or something which sure, your autism I won't fight you. You still gain>PSP, Vita, WiiU and Switch>Widescreen hack supportSo it's up to you at the end of the day. If the letterboxing is a pet peeve that's fine but to claim you're on the losing end for the screen I think is a bit of a stretch. It's literally less than a grain of salt.
>>12703932>If you do the math (ask an AI)Or use a visual tool like a sane person: https://shauninman.com/utils/screens/
>>12703685I chose this but 16bit is the best of those
>>12703685>but the pure black also looks too boring and "psp modern"I prefer to think of the all black as "sega saturn retro"
>>12703685Man up and buy the buttons you want, you should get familiarized with tearing down chinkhelds anyway. I'd switch to 16 bit in a heartbeat if there were dark grey buttons.
Not gonna eat or drink until russ reviews the nova
>>12703976eating is fine, just dont snack
>>12703942>use my visual tool saar, very good saarNo thank you :)
>>12703976you just know he's gonna milk the release by making a "initial first impressions video" and only later a "full review" that basically repeats the same thing again
>>12703991>using Actual Indians for simple mathAlso, outed as a tourist if you think that was created by someone ITT.
>>12704010Saar, keep replying saar, you are winning saar
>>12703946>>12703973It's interesting how much discussion there is around button selection for the Nova, I don't remember it being this big of a deal for other handhelds. Is it just the number of color combinations possible?I didn't order buttons with mine since I've never felt the need to change them before. It's tempting this time around, but I want to have it in my hands before I decide to swap anything beyond the backplate.
>>12704037We've always talked about buttons for new chinkhelds.
Imagine producing SEVEN(7) color options and wasting FOUR(4) of them on hideous transparent shit
>>12704098Transparent is fine
>>12704105If they wanted to do one transparent option that would be perfectly valid, but there is only ever room for a limited selection and to have so many transparent variants using up space that could have been dedicated to more varied interesting color schemes is disappointing
>>12704124Sounds like you have bad taste, but that's okay.
>>12704124People like the transparent ones.
>>12704124There are better ways to satisfy your humiliation fetish than by posting your bad opinions on /vr/.
>>12704124What color did you want?
Is there anything trying to copy the GBA Micro?I see the AYANEO Pocket Micro 2 looks like one, but seems to be the size of a GBA.
>>12704265If you want a really small horizontal, RG28XX or A30. If you want the Micro's looks, Pocket Micro Classic.
the RG300X also looks like a GBA Micro but bigger, also might not be available anymore
>>1270425216Bit (US)WhiteDMG GameboyIdk, thats just three variations of grey, but I like them. I ordered the 16bit one.
>>12704252og gameboy colorsnes colorsmetallicsother solid colors(orange, red, yellow, white, blue...) with black(or white) buttonsdark grey with solid color(a single color not rainbow) buttonshell I would even wish for retro devices to start offering brown options or even wood grain veneer would have the potential to be neat
>>12704427>wood grain veneerit annoys me that only a handful have tried this, half being R36 clones
>>12704427>>12704482speaking of, with gimmicks like the rotate finding success, why havent the big brands tried something with this "crt" lens gimmick? wouldnt retro enthusiasts eat it up?
>>12699495what's a cheaper alternate to this, like an anbernic xx level that is not a handheld just a box that plugs into the tv or monitor. cause I do love plugging a anbernic into the tv but it's fucking annnoying, would rather just have something always plugged in.
>>12704529The cheapest computer you have or can find with something like Batocera. A mini PC from a decade ago is far more powerful than any H700 Anbernic.
>>12704529You can get one of those android TV boxes that are used to make "dumb" TVs into smart TVs, I think they cost around $30-50. Russ has a video about it.
>>12704484Its weird - I assume the bubble lens wouldn't be too expensive, you'd expect Anbernic to create the RG-CRTXX or something. Make it horizontal
>>12704482It's tacky.
>>12704484>>12704620What part of "spare cell phone parts" don't you understand?
>>12704772the R36T bubble lens was spare cell phone parts?
>>12704037I recall some discussion around buttons with the RP6 too, just not in this thread. Helps that retroid is upfront in selling them on the store instead of forcing you to nag support to MAYBE have your request fulfilled correctly.
the fuck is thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cPNj2kYhBGs
>>12704948For a second I got excited when the clam opened with sticks inside thinking it would be an option (I despise the fucked up bezel of the previous version and the miyoo hinge can't be trusted) but then they faded away lmao. This way it feels like a downgrade
Everyone is saying get the Nova, get the Mangmi Air Y, and the Trimui Brick Pro U (especially the Nova though in this case.) I have never seen so many positive reviews for unreleased devices. People are talking about the Nova like it’s going to solve world hunger. How can you know these handhelds are good if no one has them yet? A lot of these handhelds in this hobby look great, and then they are reviewed and they have a fatal flaw like a bad screen or a horrible battery life or thermal throttling like that. Just wait for the reviews from Russ and Joey and Techdweeb, look at the positives and negatives of the device, and then make your decision to buy. There’s nonzero chance that one of these devices turns out to be shit.
>>12704962>I despise the fucked up bezel of the previous versionwell this one has a thinner top bezel. . . because they made the bottom one bigger.
>>12704967Never buy stuff unless it has already been on the market for at least 9 months.
>>12704970But it does look a lot more balanced
>>12704948Why would I buy this if I already have a 34XXSP?
>>12704948Load buttons or shit D-pad? It has to be one or the other
>>12704948It's Anbernic pandering to Russ's complaints that the 35XX SP, being a 4:3 system which is a more universal aspect ratio, should have been the clamshell that did have the sticks, whereas the 34XX SP, being a 3:2 system, should have removed the sticks to focus on being more of a pure GBA SP clone. Also taking the time to fix the 34's big dumb forehead. It is stupid that it's an XX device that they're not slapping the XX name on though. I thought it might be rocking a new processor, but no it's still the H700.
>>12704948Eh. Sure it's nice to have it a little slimmer and remove the screen's forehead. But it's all fixes for minor annoyances I never think about when I play it. Seems there's no real reason to get one if you've got the 34/35xxSP already.
>>12705015What do you mean I don't have to spend more money on new gizmo that's the same as the gizmo that I already spent money on twice
>>12704967>Everyone is saying get the Nova, get the Mangmi Air Y, and the Trimui Brick Pro UThe only one of these I see universal agreement on is the Nova, which makes more sense than the other two. Aside from the unknown OLED, it's effectively a Retroid Pocket 6 underneath. We've already seen almost all of the components before, and on paper it's likely the best 4:3 handheld.You also need to think of it more like automotive bench racing, rather than "positive reviews." Until they start shipping, all anyone can do is compare spec sheets.
retroid brought back the RP6 12GB option? Did they fix their QC issues? Sorta curious about it
I need advice. When the Nova comes in, assuming it's good, I'm downsizing. I'm keeping my Portal for modern/streaming, the Nova for all 4:3/retro, and one other handheld just because. I've narrowed it to these two, which one do I keep?>Ayaneo Pocket Micro ClassicI really like how it looks and feels, and it's very comfy for GB/GBC/GBA. It's also reasonably pocketable compared to the Nova. However, I can sell it for a good amount if I'm not going to use it much in the future, and the Nova makes it redundant in some ways.>Trimui BrickLeaves me a truly a small and pocketable handheld and is probably the most practical to keep. However, I don't use it much (Pocket Micro replaced it), and I always hated how NextUI can't sync states properly. Gains points if MuOS support has gotten better.
>>12705062Well look at that... It wasn't there when I was browsing yesterday.
>>12704948FUCK YES
>>12705002The H700 is a bummer, but its at least proven for mgba which is all I need
>>12704948So they finally fixed their analogless model. That's pretty good. Although given the games I'd play on an H700 I really do need an analog stick, sadly. If it's cheaper than the other H700 models then I guess it might still be worth it.
>>12705017I don't understand the appeal of collecting these things either. Once you have one that fits the role you need it to, there's gotta be a convincing upgrade before anyone should buy another.
>>12704948>we reduced the forehead by flipping the screen (adds latency)Max... Making it slimmer is a downgrade on both safety and ergonomics too, but suppose that sells. And these colors are ass.>>12704967>don't fall for FOMO, listen to these marketersYeah okay, dude.>>12705062Yes, but with only 128GB storage. Too early to tell, it's been like 3 weeks?
>>12705083Yeah just sell the micro, with either option it seems you won't use it much regardless so when the time comes and the urge to consoom strikes again(it will) you will have an easy time ditching the brick for some other cheap junk and it keeps you from hoarding.
>>12704948It's me. I am the target audience.
>>12704948It's basically a less retarded looking 34XX SP.
>>12704948>Scratchy as hell metallicNo thanks, that was the worst part of the gba sp
Why do people hate the sticks on the 34XX SP? Even if you don't plan to play any games that require them, you could still use them for Retroarch hotkeys.
>>12705238If its like the 35xxsp, the paint will scratch off at the hinges most likely. It gives a kind of authentic worn look to it I guess. Its not a huge deal but its confusing where they find their paints. A good lacquer paint airbrushed on probably shouldn't chip so easily.
>>12704948Country roads, take me homeTo the place I belongYer mum's vaginaThey seriously couldn't have just made it a bit shorter?
>>12705239/hhg/ hates options. They hate 16:9 for being able to play games that aren't just 4:3, they hate sticks as an option even if they're far enough from the other keys to not be pressed accidentally, they hate RAM higher than 8GB for being able to play more recent games.
>>12705259Not really. But the Winlator and Gamehub type stuff is a massive pajeet retarded nigger cope.
>>12705239putting sticks on that was like putting cup holders on a lawn mower. mathematically its more options, in practice you're a lunatic for trying to use it for more than 1 minute
>>12704948Hopefully they quieted the buttons and fixed them poking into the dome switches.... and the battery being used as a heat sink.
>>12704948All I wanted was a miyoo flip with a good hinge and good battery life. No sticks and the same chipset from the XX series means I have zero interest in this
>>12705239initially because it is not faithful, but once I used it I saw the value, specially for PortMaster, but even then, mapping functions to them such as macros is cool as well. They are no in your way at all.Games like Parasite Eve in the PSP can be mapped to the right stick to have double axis. Games like Bangai-O in the Dreamcast play like a dream if you set the second axis to the stick by using Control Map Option 2 or B in the ingame settings. It becomes a twinstick shooter. Also comfy for slower SHMUPs.
>>12705347i regularly use the right stick mapped to directionals for one handed play while i'm taking a drink from my beer with my other hand or while i'm smoking a cigarette
>>12704962Only retards want sticks on these things. They are made for PS1 and back and the sticks are so close to the bottom of the handheld the ergonomics are a nightmare. Stop being a retard.
>>12704967You can't even trust reviews from Russ or Tech Dweeb because they don't see all the problems that can and will occure.I bought an RG35XXSP after weeks of reviews because everyone said it was amazing. It was a cheap piece of shit. The buttons literally destroyed the motherboard and the processor heated the battery until it exploded.
>>12705239Collector retards who want to own a emu handheld for everysingle classic device
>>12705269What rent free nonsense are you babbling about now?
>>12704948I think the biggest question is the price. This thing is dead Is dead in the water if it's more expensive than the 34xxSP.
>>12704967The Nova is because every 4:3 that came before it had some fatal flaw - namely the Anbernics of the 476H or 477M. Nova seems to do everything it needs to do and generally Retroid are fairly trusted at this point, although there could well be some serious issue with the OLED seeing as they supposedly commissioned it's production. I won't be buying because I already have too many already. Anyway, don't trust Russ or Techdweeb because they only have a very surface level understanding of technology and will gloss over any kind of shortcoming. Example: they never mentioned the absolutely abysmal audio quality on the 477V. It is so bad, yet they didn't say a word. Don't trust them.
>>12705524>fatal flaw - namely the Anbernics of the 476H or 477M.What flaw?
>>12704967>A lot of these handhelds in this hobby look greatThis isn't a hobby tard-o, no matter how many times you say it is.
Im trans and the retroid pocket nova is shaping up to be my favorite handheld of all time
>>12705526476H is that it's a bit weak for a lot of PS2/GC, other than that it's great and 95% of what the Retroon Nova is aiming to be. I mean most comments are that it looks like a 476H but it's on Anbernic for not having brought out a revision using the Dimensity chip that's on the 477s or finding an old warehouse full of Snapdragons. The 477M is just the lack of analog triggers which precludes you from playing a handle of GameCube games.
>>12705560Be my gf
Why "Nova?"
>>12705602In honor of starcraft ghost
>>12705602Because it explodes after a couple charges
>>12705352Don’t talk to him.
>>12705617Based Retroid doing a throwback to their classic fiver
>>12705526The 477M is a flat metal slab with the wrong triggers. Bad ergonomics and it's too heavy.The 476H has a glass front and less power, but gives you analog triggers and a little less weight.The Nova, at least in theory, has it all. OLED display, plastic body without a glass front, analog triggers, and it's more powerful than both Anbernics. It even gives you an ergonomic back if you want it. It has the potential to be perfect, so long as Retroid doesn't screw it up.
Honestly even if I already more or less have everything I need it's still fun seeing what comes out. These guys churn out chinkhelds at a pretty fast rate all things considered, there's plenty of points where they could have waited months or years between releases.
>>12705647All things considered this year has been pretty slow, anbernic made like 2~3 devices so far this year
>>12705582dont talk to him
>>12705647I think we're nearing "end game" for anyone without a shopping problem. There's nothing left to emulate on Android that you can't run on a Portal, Thor, or Nova, outside experimenting with PC games.
>>12705652Component shortage hitting China maybe
>>12705526LCDMetal bodyDimensityIn-line shouldersLCDGlass frontDimensity (weak)Digital shouldersBoth cost too much to risk the anbernic d-pad lottery too, while retroid up to this point is always consistent with their d-pads. And these glossy face buttons of theirs are fucking disgusting, call it nitpicking, I don't care.>>12705661I would love to upgrade from 865 to what comes after the 8 Elite, but that went out the fucking window so I'm staying right here with the RP5 and the Nova and praying they never break.Also, I'm confident the Frame won't actually change the state of x86 games on ARM much, so no point shopping for that.
>>12705675>Also, I'm confident the Frame won't actually change the state of x86 games on ARM much, so no point shopping for that.I agree the Frame itself probably won't change anything, but if it leads to a ARM-based Deck, that will have a seismic impact. It's mostly a software issue anyway, when you consider how compatible Windows ARM laptops are now.
>>12705675>praying they never breakAre you poor or something, anon?
>>12705675>I'm confident the Frame won't actually change the state of x86 games on ARM muchI mean it already has, because it made valve invest in fex-emu
>>12705675>Digital shoulders Are you referring to the micro switch shoulder buttons? Because the RG476H of course has analog triggers.
>>12705680We'll all be poor in the face of future chinkheld prices.>>12705685Wait, it does? They look so short. I stand corrected then.
>>12705661All that's really left is trying out different form factors to put a H700 in, improving latency and lag and whatever, and probably eventually coming out with more powerful devices to do late retro stuff like PS3/X360 and so on. We might see a plastic foot with a screen attached to emulate the Bloodborne machine 4.
>>12705685>the RG476H of course has analog triggersAnd there's its fatal flaw
>>12705701The h700 has been a vehicle for anbernic to shotgun a million form factors in a short time but its still lacking usb-c to c fast charging. I think a real endgame linux chip would ideally have fast charging without battery explosion issues, and maybe a true sleep mode
>>12705574The t820 is perfectly fine for 6th gen. Wtf? Even then, you should only be considering the 406h for t820's with that kino dpad>>12705675>LCD...which is why chinks like it.
>>12705756Yeah, there's nothing wrong with (good) LCD panels, OLED worship has really gotten out of hand. The glass front on the 476H is a negative though, as are the triggers on the 477M. They each have small flaws keeping them from being perfect, as per Anbernic's usual. All they had to do was put the 477M internals in the 467H body and get rid of the glass.
>>12705756Dreamcast 100%, it's perfect for that. But a lot of PS2/GC struggles on the T820. Outrun 2 for example you're going to have to go sub 1x to get 60fps, that's not a problem on Dimensity 8300 or Snapdragon 8.
>>12705524On the topic of audio, what can we expect from Retroid with the Nova's output quality?I have two sets of IEMs I generally get around with; Airpod Pro 2s for convenience, and (funnily enough) a Truthear Nova. With the former, anecdotally I've heard Retroid's bluetooth audio implementation kind of sucks and is laggy- but that they use a fairly good quality DAC for their 3.5mm jack, however my Novas have a 4.4mm balanced cable that naturally wont fit. Neither IEM set I find particularly comfortable to wear for long periods of time though, so I was thinking of picking up some earbuds- and then I found this set that Kojima collaborated which seem perfect but are pretty expensive. If people were exaggerating about the Retroid DAC quality though I may as well use a dongle DAC (something I really want to avoid), in which case I may as well keep using my Truthears.
>>12704554dam good call, options are pretty shite outside of the states though by the looks but will probably get the job done.
It's time (tomorrow)
>>12705869Already pre-prepped my snacks and drinks.
>>12705854>>12704554I have the exact one used in that video. Just a fair warning that the performance is worse than most budget level handhelds. It runs up to SNES great even when using a fast shader, and I've seen people play Android ports of stuff like Vice City on it, but it starts to slow down on some GBA titles and especially chugs with 3D arcade games. I couldn't test PSX on it since you only get around 6GB of storage to work with unless you buy a USB stick and an adapter for it. I mainly got it for putting Plex and IPTV on my ancient TV but I still play games on it occasionally, just be realistic about it.
>>12705869jesus fucking christ what the fuck is wrong with his fucking thumb? maybe he should lay off all the fucking snacks and drinks

>>12705970for psx it would be cheaper and easier to just get an rg35xxh and plug that to your tv with hdmi and either use it as your controller or use a usb-c to usb-a adapter to hook up your gamepad to it, or if you're a subhuman you can use one of those bluetooth controllersbut you're not a subhuman who uses wireless pads, right anon?

>>12706672It's the Arc and maybe the GKD Bubble, I forget if that one is domeswitch. Cube/XX and 406H made it less floaty.>>12706693I don't know, there's something about certain colors that really doesn't lend to how smoky the plastic is. I love the black RP2S and the green 34xx and 35xxSP, but this one looks off, as does every attempt at atomic purple. And then the way the light bounces off of it, I can't explain it, but it irks me.Anyway, I settled for Black GC. Hope it looks good in person.
>>12706705looks like shitty lag. also why are they putting RA bloatware on portables now? that's stupid. you want low-bloat emus on portables. RA and MAME shit is probably "fine" at home, but on portable running on battery, the emu better be skinny. RA was all about stupid filters and stealing code("cores") from real emus.
>>12706762So, something like nes.emu should have better latency?
Since the nova uses a custom screen surely they will reuse it to make the most out of their investment? How about in a clamshell? That would be kino
>>12706764any emu should have less bloat than RA which is first and foremost a "UI" for retardeds who want to filter the shit out of their games and somehow too lazy to use existing emus that worked just fine before RA got shilled everywhere... and stole the code of thos emus that were working just fine. only MAME is more stupidly made than RA.
>>12706762>He thinks it mattersChinks include it along with standalone emus for convenience. Nothing more, nothing less.
>>12706565>shit speakers and sharo buttonsFuckin' dropped. 477M remains king
>>12706770They are very likely using it in their dual screen handheld in the second half of the year
>>12706658huh, i assumed this whole time that the arc was an h700, but it turns out it's some shitter cortex chip? why the fuck don't they just shit out an h700 xx arc then? chop chop, max zhou, don't make me break out the chinese culture is centered around gweilos pasta
>>12706693I like transparent body, but the buttons make it look tacky.

>>12706770Rep on chink chat or forum said a clamshell is coming this year.>>127068393566 is stronger than h700 on both CPU and GPU, but not enough to enable anything of note besides marginal gains on portmaster games.
>they finally made a 4:3 OLEDthey said it couldn't be done
>>12706848Yeah, it clashes with the shell texture, it'd have to be glossy too.>>12706860No, we said it couldn't be afforded. But if even MagicX is getting on that train, something must have changed.

>>12706930I called it a month ago and got shat onhttps://warosu.org/vr/thread/12652134#p12659414(also fuck you thumbs are a type of finger)
Yep, Retroid won.
james dsp will save the speakers
>>12706946Nope there's always some sort of issue that arises like cracking plastic and we don't know for sure yet that the non clear buttons aren't also sharp feeling
non-sega dpad and sharp buttons are a 100% dealbreaker
>oof ouchie the bwuttons huwt my fingies!Grow up
>>12706973sega dpad was never in the cards, non-transparent buttons will very likely be less sharp
It seems pretty par for the course desu. I haven't even watched the video (I can't stand that performative cuck) but it's always been the case that the plastic moulding of Retroid buttons is not great compared to Anbernic.
>>12706975I don't play on my Vita for the exact same reason
The face buttons are confirmed to be the exact same as RP6 so unless they changed the manufacturing (they didn't), matte buttons will not have sharp edges. There's also the chance little man got a lemon as other reviewers haven't complained about that yet, but we'll see.
>>12706860Probably just found a screens in a landfill for a cheap. That's how all these companies go.>>12706937You have to be careful with retroid fans. They're almost feral.
>>12706978>sega dpad was never in the cardsWhy? because we can't have nice things?
I'm torn between the nova and the odin 2 portal. I don't actually care to play anything past ps2 so I don't need the 16:9 or anything and 4:3 would be better, it's just that juicy 8000mah battery on the portal that still makes it so tempting
>>12706994They picked a side in the Saturn/Vita dpad debate. I understand they have a lot of history and investment in this style. They have probably had to prioritise certain details over other styles to pull off their financial strategies. I've accepted that. Even though I see the happy medium between Sega Saturn dpad and more diagonal accuracy as the ideal.t.Endgame guy

4:3 handhelds are for retards either go 16:9 or 1:1. if we lived in a fair and just world we'd be getting 16:10 handhelds but you guys aren't ready for that conversation.
>>12706994because the sega dpad SUCKS and is a step firmly in the wrong direction
>>12707058fuck you tasteless faggot
>>12707052https://youtu.be/usQQ42egzus?t=1817&si=3ZKAt5cantYuK_bt
>>12707068snack and drink is a retard and twice as wrong as you
>>12707056There are only three ratios that make sense for non-PC handhelds, and 4:3 is one of them.4:3 covers nearly the entire retro era. 16:9 covers PSP and modern widescreen games. And the last is 3:2, because it's the best balance between the two. 16:10 is still too wide compared to 3:2.
>>12707060it's not a matter of taste, it's a matter of objectivityi have been using dpads for over twice as long as you've been alive, i am the grand arbiter of dpads
>>12707068Why does Russ always use a mid-tier shaders like geom-deluxe instead of something more accurate newpixie-crt? The 8 gen 2 can handle it no problem.
I have a bit of trouble opening my mini flip with one hand and I can see the limit of the hardware with heavy pokemon romhacks. The system is great but maybe I should have followed my gut and bought the RG rotate, I see people opening and closing that shit with one hand like it's nothing
>>12707082Does he do the contra level 1 waggle in this video as well?
>>12707056I will go 4:3, just as I have gone 1:1 back when you were screeching about it unable to comprehend.>>12707093You know it.
>>12707091Do you only have 1 hand?
>>12707091That thing will fucking stab your finger.

>>12707239I would rather have the slimmer build and better feeling buttons of RG SP
>>12707298The buttons are obviously the same.

>>12707478the v90s? didn't know it had real buttons and not clicklets, and it's linux? maybe i'll try it and see how long the hinge lasts and then pray to guan yin when it explodes
>>12707495The buttons you'll be using are membrane. Start and select are clicky for some reason despite powkiddy hating clicks.>ExplodesThey're not retroid. Never happened
>>12706702>>12706705Don't care that I didn't watch it. I'm still going to say I beat the video properly with this info and that I get to be treated the same as any Russ fans despite me never watching anything he's made. Chicken is my favorite character.
>>12707503eh, start and select are seldomly used enough that it's alright if they're clicklets, but having the primary inputs (dpad and face buttons) be clicklets is just pure aids, i hated it on the gba sp and i hated it even more on the og ds

>>12707578Why don't you just watch movies on your phone?
>>12705809Good post anon. For the Retroid Pocket Classic the DAC is provided by the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 SoC but the 3.5mm circuit is genuinely well designed with low noise so overall sound quality is decent. Though you can get the same or better quality with a cheap USB-C DAC like the Fiio/Snowsky Tiny or similar.For sure the Bluetooth audio is ridiculously laggy on the RPC, at times we're talking multiple seconds of delay. There is something clearly wrong with their stack, yet again the big YouTube 'reviewers' won't tell you this.

>>12707543Because I don't want to waste my phone's battery and storage on videogames when I can have a separate device for it? Calling bullshit on a phone with the same chipset being cheaper than a handheld.No active cooling, so you get throttled and/or ruin your battery with the heat.Average telescopic controller is literally bigger than a handheld and it's "another thing to charge", so no benefit on those either.
