Reminder if you ordered a transparent model to change your order or to order extra matte buttons to switch them as russ says they are too sharp feeling.

(the matte buttons are the exact same as the retroid pocket 6 so they are certified comfy)

a sharp button just stabbed a kid over my house

I once touched a button with unrounded edges and I had to get 9 stitches on my finger

Not gonna lie that sound quality is a little disappointing. Hope there's a software fix, I know the Retroid Pocket 6 sound quality was vastly improved by JamesDSP

I was undecided between these two but I think the black version wins because of the black bezel.
Having a grey bezel and then black bars(however small) in some cases it's a no

Why are the transparent buttons sharp? I expected them to feel slightly different because the clear plastic doesn't flex the same as opaque, but there's no reason for them to be sharp. They're round buttons.
>>
>>12707836
Made with a different mold probably

>>12707842
I don’t want my handheld to be made out of mold.

"SHARP BUTTONS could be here" he thought
>>
>>12707836
they are just harder so the standard edge feels "shaper"
>>
>>12707867
I mean it's entirely possible the edges drop down 90° without any curvature

today i learned that snack&drink has soft supple puffy girly marshmallow thumbs
he must be the retard who cries that the 35xxh dpad is somehow "hard" despite the fact that it literally uses a fucking rubber membrane
>>
>>12707867
>>12707880
This reminds me of how some automotive reviewers complain about "sharp" stitching on steering wheels. If the edges are rounded, I don't see how they can be sharp. I don't remember anyone complaining about concave SNES buttons, and those are much less rounded.

Makes me wonder if he picked something safe to criticize.
>>
>>12707885
Rubber can be hard
>>
>>12707885
don't be a moron, the clear plastic is genuinely harder(t. used to work at a plastic's factory)

let me guess you ordered a transparent model and are coping so you don't have to deal with replacing the buttons
>>
>>12707901
>clear plastic is genuinely harder
This should make the button press feel different because deflection changes. Sharpness is a either a defect or the product of a different mold. Even texture variation won't feel sharp.

and you're also stuck with cramped controls and second screen bloat whenever you play anything other than ds/3ds

Buttons should be made out of soft rubber instead of hard plastic because sometimes after a hard day of work my hands just want to chill at home and feel like a goddamn superhero

Stupid person trying to get into emulation handhelds here.
If I order a Retroid Pocket 6 (Specifically the 8G Dpad Top model with the 16bit colors) from the official site would it already be in stock since all of the dates on the Delivery Dashboard have already passed or would it basically be a pre-order for the next production wave?
>>12707941
Something about that guy strikes me as deeply sad. I like his reviews well enough but the bits where he talks about his life bum me out.

I'm hoping the RG SP gets a cope video like the RG Nano did.

Don't bother me, I've had a DS and a 3DS for 20 years.

I have all my retroarch hotkeys on the second screen or a translation when playing Japanese guide. It's also nice to be able to see my battery life and performance overlay on the bottom while I play.

Only the last one could "bum me out"... I know what triggers you. The last one specially, with the cut-out paper characters and the anecdotes.. it is deeply melancholic but not pathetic at all. He uses the trope but doesnt over play it, like SHMUP Junkie overdoes the Hill Billy stuff... No no.. Dweeb USES his stuff but yeah.. I almost cried, but only because my mother has harsh cancer, and I have been flooded with memories and kiddy stuff, I feel like a kid in the worst way, cant describe it... which is why it triggered me, without being pathetic or cheesy at all...
Otherwise it is a funny -A la Tim Burton- video, with paper cutout characters like the ones I make with my niece to decorate stories on her fridge, it is kawaii, on topic..

Dweeb can be a mind fuck out of the blue

>>12708031
I'm twice as old as zoomies who look older than I do lmao. You will never look young and the PSTriple still ain't retro.

I setup Armsx2 but I'm having trouble getting it working right. No matter what renderer I use it seems to not be displaying more than 1 frame that updates maybe every half a minute. Not that it's running slow, the audio is fine. The frame updates to what the game is actually doing.
What the fuck is the issue? I have the right bios and everything. I tried switching to Turnip drivers and no dice either.

>>12707950
nope, gen 6 is several generations deep into the modern era and is thus definitively not retro, try again

retro isn't a function of x years passed, zoomoidal retard
>>
>>12708125
At this point I'd google it because 4chan-but-with-account-names-and-no-saying-the-n-word users often post about the same problems we have and discuss solutions, maybe look up the settings you had in Nether and replicate that if nothing else works.
>>
>>12708125
Oh I should mention my chipset is the SD gen 3 so the actual cpu and gpu usage is incredibly low. No bottleneck besides some setting somewhere I think.
>>
>>12707757
In theory, you should be able to use the JamesDSP from OdinTweaks, just like the RP6, because it is (essentially) the same processor. So there should be a day 1 audio fix. In theory.
>>
>>12708139
I mean, antique furniture and classic cars are both a function of “x years passed.” Dont see why games would be any different. What are you trying to do, gatekeep being a loser?

Black buttons just look better too.
Why can't you order the joystick caps, though? I want to make a black gcn with the colored buttons AND the yellow c-stick.

>>12707795
Because fuck that. Have you seen how bad the black RP6 looks?

>>12707836
There is a chance russ got sharper ones, if no one else has complained about that yet.

>>12707913
If anyone here is seriously considering the add-on, remember this has a 5000mAh battery.

>>12707967
Sometimes they got stock, sometimes they fall behind and your order takes a little while to ship, kinda been the case since the RP5 days. Maybe ask their support.

>>12708237
I don't know, but they're on aliexpress for cheap, they're RP6/Thor ones (RP5 concave ones are also compatible). They were running low on light gray and yellow on the store I bought from a few days ago, make sure to use the coins page and check for bigger discounts, comes and goes.

>>12708015
Agreed, would balance it better.

The thing is $250, is it not fair to want to know that? Especially when it's coming from happy fun times reddit man who rarely ever points out actual flaws. I'm good with my color pick personally, but some people here want transparent.

>>12708261
Speakers too, but I'm also waiting for more input on that.

retro in vidya refers to a time period with simpler games, just like stone age refers to a time where technology was made from rocks.
