death to clamshells
Why are Miyoo chinkhelds the most overrated
We need a ultra pocketable nova flip
clamshells are the ultimate form of handhelds
>>12720213flip 2 is already fine desu. flip 3 with the same screen, sd8gen2 and a little bit thinner would be perfect4:3 screen would just hold it back unnecessarily
>>12720219>flip 3 with the same screen, sd8gen2 and a little bit thinner would be perfectwhy spend money on that when the thor existsnova flip would offer something fresh by being something inbetween an upgrade to the miyoo mini/xx sp and a less wide(and therefore lighter and pocketable) high ender like the flip/thor without none of the awkward empty space/second screen cramp.
>>12720213Bro fuck you. Use my gen or die. Not that blurry ass cesarean son of a whore of an image.Bitch.
>>12720246I see flip i upvote
Getting a Nova, I'm not a crackcel
>>12720249thanks babe
>You don't have a vita yet? Jej
>4 year old anbernig dies at 60% during gameplay and won't turn back on until I plug it in again >can idle on emulation station until 0% My battery is fuck right?
>>12720264You know it's coming since they said to be working on a clam.Who's ready to mog everybody's else's handhelds with this?
>>12720271it's not, unfortunately it's just gonna be a double screen thor competitor. russ has strongly hinted(pretty much confirmed) they are using the nova screen on a double screen device instead of a classic clamshell
>New 3DS>Switch 1>Vita>Gaeming computer and laptop>soon Novadon't need an ACK thor or 'eck and never will
>>12720206Clam supremacy
>>12720275Really?? Wow...what a bunch of retards honestly. It's almost like they never quite deliver
>>12720276Double the PWM!!The BOOKIA FLIP!
>>12720276sorry, meant for>>12720275
>>12720208you'll know when you get one
Doesn't matter if gae, come on watcha playin?
>>12720283Here Russ says he saw the upcoming device where they are reusing the nova screen but can't say much, when everyone is throwing in ideas he suggests a classic clamshell which is the one he can say because that's not what they showed himhttps://www.youtube.com/live/27GRDDzGEwc?si=_bMkNbIuAVCjwofu&t=50061:23:26Here Russ says he "thinks" the Nova screen will be reused on a dual screen device, he is more straightforward because he didn't mention he got the inside scoop from the china trip:https://youtu.be/vNntDXRsSJs?si=rcXKTW36_AzzIL-X&t=357659:35and then there's that discord(?) screenshot where one of the retroid staffers talks about a dual screen device in the later part of the year
>>12720318We already know they are making a dual screen device in the second half of the year. Safe to assume the nova screen is in that
>>12720270if you google the part number you might be able to get a new battery for like 20 bucks.
>>12720265>pulling this out while you're watching your kid playbro I hope you don't have kids
So I was thinking last night, is there any handheld or OS that just works like an actual retro console lets say in the N64/PS1/GBA/GB/NES/SNES era type loading, to where I can just pop in an sd card with lets say super mario on it and it just loads up without having to scroll through a game list? I know it seems kinda dumb but I feel like having 1,000s of roms and having to scroll through them I just don't really play anything cause of it. I just wanna have like 3 SD cards with 1 game on them each and just pop it in and it will boot straight into the game, without needing to buy the actual hardware.
>>12720393I can't think of any FW that accounts for having literally one game like that. The simplest I've used is MinUI/NextUI for Linux handhelds.
>>12720412i'm really surprised no one has thought of something like this.
>>12720393closest I can think of is having an EmulationStation frontend, and setting it to start on Recent gamelist so you just press 1 button to get into the last game you played. Not perfect but closest I can think of
>>12720393Just do the "5 games handheld" thing.Like how different would it be to have to pick between which SD card you want to put into the device today, and which game from a list?
>>12720463cause it would be like swapping physical games, specially since i have like 5 sd cards.
>>12720208Of the chinahelds I've had the Miyoo Mini Plus had the best overall controls and I wish they would make a horizontal iteration like an A30 V2 (or the 'Hello, canceled' P60). Retroid 2S is up there with the d-pad but its face buttons and overall comfort weren't that great.
> 2026> STILL> BEST
>>12720482The MagicX One 35 is the spirtual successor to the P60.
>>12720492I'd consider that if it weren't for the stupid second d-pad. XU Mini M has caught my though
>>12720487Ahora sin tu trip
>BasedDerekhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0IOefSNMS8
>>12720529dumb cunt making a whole video bitching about something that's easily fixed with the ergo bump back they are offering
>>12720318Holy Fuck, what kind of derange Barmitzvah was that? I knew Chewey was going to go all out on his party, but man, all the Rabbis are there! I wonder how many Drag Queens there were.
>>12720556lmao
>>12720308I can't play anything currently anon, I'm resting my thumbs from a sharp button injury.
I wasn't expecting the Nova to have a bigger dpad than either the Thor or the RP6
>>12720637it doesnt, it's the same
>>12720637It's small and sharp according to reviews
>>12720393Wouldnt that just be an fpga handheld like analog pocket
Does anyone have one of those small handhelds like the 28xx and what do you think of it?
>>12720487Si esta tan bueno, porque ya no lo venden?
>>12720647>>12720649No, the Nova is measurably bigger:https://youtu.be/hNTHxsBZDMM?si=UxE4JkiTWMGM2LDI&t=856
>>12720660I have an RG28XX. It was really cool for a little while. I set it up to share SD2 with an RG35XX-H, so I just swapped the card back and forth whenever I took the RG28XX out somewhere.But I eventually found it a pointless novelty. I don't actually need to have a handheld that small in my daily life, and I'd rather use something larger at home. I now have a Brick as my small handheld, which I think is a more usable option that's still small enough to pocket on the rare occasion I want to.If your life is different and you think you'll use a tiny handheld a lot, the RG28XX is surprisingly comfy to play. The only downside is the lack of wifi, since I sync saves. But if it's more about having something easy to carry, it's worth picking a handheld that's a little bigger.
>>12720661Porque él agotó las últimas 5000 unidades como judÃo-scalper y ahora postea en cada foro para venderlas a doble precio pero nadie compra
>>12720390Why? Are you seriously pretending 5-8 year olds didn't play GTA San Andreas when it was popular back in 2004-2010?

A good lcd is the one on RG477M. A bad one is Switch 2 where it looks like someone put a white overlay layer on everything
>>12721034Switch 2 LCD has annoying ghosting, but I can tolerate it after an extended play session.It's noticeable again if I use anything else in-between though.It's always the same shit with hardware, sell on the good points, ignore or downplay the weak points.Sure it'd full HD but it's a cheap ass display.Similar shit with laptops, I remember someone buying a laptop with pretty good performance specs but the OS drive was a fucking 5400RPM HDD so everything was slow as shit.

>>12721087What's up with that emu? are they actually making progress that fast or is it bullshit updates? Every time I check my obtanium notifications there's been like 3 updates.
>>12721132They are keeping themselves rebased on top of PCSX2. Any time PCSX2 gets an update, they almost immediately pull it from their github.

>>12720184I want to lean more into Handheld Gaming on the go, and don't want to carry my Switch around, so I was thinking of buying a PSP/VITA and modding it.Would anons here recommend a PSP or VITA, and does it even matter???...The PSP1000 is the cheapest online for like $55-75 and anons always talk about the PSP1000 feeling more "premium" and just being the best for modding and support in general, so I've gotten the impression that this might be the best to start off with.Also should I just buy the AYN THOR instead, or is it a meme?
>>12721453Niceee haha>>12721345And i do haha suck my dick haha
>>12721453imagine playing with black bars just because it doesn't bother you. Sheesh. Peen in the anus prob won't bother you either
>>12721789Are you flirting with me?
>>12721764psp is cheap easy to cfw and i like the buttons better. psvita is more expensive but runs psp games natively, gets lots of homebrew decomp ports and better dpad, idk about thor
>>12721790imagine being a mod. Kek
>>12721764there's better shit out there now. what games(from which platforms) are you looking to play?
>>12721764Psp, vita1000 and vita2000 owner here.My preference: vita2000Light, better battery, not as fragile and screen is perfect trust. Then with mods you can calibrate the screen so colors pop a bit more if you want that oled look and it looks barely the same.Psp games look and play great and you can't miss the vitas tight catalog. Doa, virtua tennis, killzone, catherines lather, gravity rush, boi...you name it. Gtas's...you name it
>>12721764Vita is better than the original PSP, but Thor is much better than both considering the amount of games you can play. PSP and Vita are just too weak and limited compared to modern handhelds even after the performance hit due to emulation. Even an Anbernic RG Vita Pro would be a better purchase than a PSP.
>>12721764Get a Vita 2000 if you aren't gay. Lighter, better battery, non-shit USB port. A HRT Thor will make you transition.
>>12721850>>12721854Look at my vita bros. Like a family. Like a gay family. Like 2 wolves.
>>12721868I came 6 times today
>>12721764Vita is probably the best bet for this sort of thing.Reasonably easy to set up, lots of options, sturdy (I had like five PSPs break on me when I was a kid), a nice menu, long battery life and it can run most pre-N64 consoles pretty well.It is worth having one even if you just plan on using it for PSP and Vita games.Mine has been my go-to for years and I have still been messing with it while waiting for my first proper emulation handheld to ship.
>>12720939You say this but these chinkheld OLED panels do suffer a wide range of problems and the colour most will experience is one that is more than a touch over saturated. Meanwhile the 4.7" LED display that Anbernic uses does have very natural colours under the right conditions. There's always a better display just around the corner so it's not worth fighting over anyway.
so tired of poor people crying about how they can't afford an oled
russ just keeps on disappointing. been refreshing his channel all day with my snack and drink next to me all ready
>>12721896it's really weird, like I can't afford a 5090 yet I don't go around claiming it's shitmust third worlders
>>12721921You can't afford a 5090 if you actually wanted one? What a faggot kek.
>>12721696>less than 100uh so 99.99?
>>12721921right? these people dont understand how they make themselves look. fox and his oled grapes
>>12721764PSP will get you PSP, native PS1, and anything below GBA. GBA and SNES will not run great.Vita will get you native PSP and PS1 support, Vita games, and some level of retro gaming up to around PS1. It's ideal to get the 1000 if you want a better screen, and if you can score a 3G version you can replace the 3G slot with the SD2Vita solution to allow your cartridge slot to still be functional. If you want to save money the 2000 exists but it doesn't have as nice of a screen.Thor will get you up to Switch support depending on the model you buy and allows you to play non-button DS games on top of 3DS and Wii U games. You can also play Android games natively like gachas if you play those. Most of its issues seem to have been fixed with updates though it still has some latency issues, but it's far better than it was in the first few months. Ultimately its issues are software-sided, not hardware.
Fuck Russ crandall from retro game corps for not giving people what they need. Audiences only have until the 31st to order the Nova and get the ergo bump back and screen protector for free. He sucks
>>12720264Needs 6 face buttons if you chaps are talking Saturn..
>>12720278The square one should surely look like a Dreamcast.
so tired of cuckoled shills pretending like cuckoled image quality being absolute dogshit is because "people are poor"
>>12720275What it needs to emulate are the Nova's ergonomic bumps. And add more in way of card slots+ USB-C ports at least. They probably won't though.
I'm going to buy an RG SP and use it for ten minutes before forgetting about it
>>12722161I want to buy the RG SP, but I'm worried that the buttons will be as bad as the ones on the 35XXSP v1 I used to have.... I literally couldn't play for two hours without my fingers getting sore....
>>12720393Just use suspend.
how much will the nova ergonomic back cost after the 31st?

>>12722310Fair enough, small, highly detailed stuff, and black bars on top of it with the SP. Yeah I am pondering whether to waste a whole GB for a game that might be impractical to play like this. Everything works otherwise?Also, I washed my ass for you!? Lol is this canon o an edit?

Hi frens I'm kinda new to retro handhelds. I have an RG35XX H that I love, mostly for playing GBA games.Now I'm wondering, if I want to play ONLY PS2 games like Ratchet & Clank, Jak and Daxter, Sly Cooper, Ape Escape... do I need to go for a very powerful device even if I don't care about playing newer systems? Or is there any middle ground handheld that can run PS2 well? I'm worried these particular games are very demanding to emulate regardless
>>12722742i think that any device with a chip capable of brute forcing ps2 on lagdroid is at least 200 buxmaybe one day snack&drink will make a video that covers the comprehensive range of devices that can do ps2 this side of the massive pc sumerian slablets
>>12722742>do I need to go for a very powerful device even if I don't care about playing newer systems?Pretty much. PS2 emulation on ARM is quite bad even with ARMSX2, so you basically need a device capable of Switch emulation anyway. Meanwhile x86 handhelds can run PS2 just fine, but all of them are "powerful" and expensive.Maybe once ARMSX2 gets to the level of PCSX2 there will be a "middle ground". Probably in a couple of years.
>>12722228ginsberg-sama~
>>12722709Only as the Lite.>>12722742>do I need to go for a very powerful device even if I don't care about playing newer systems? Yeah, mid-range playing PS2 is basically a tourist trap. Strongly suggest 8Gen2 over the SD865 to be on the safer side, they cost nearly the same anyway.
>>12722709What do you even need 12GB of ram for on an SD865 with only one screen?At least on the Thor Lite it would be useful for multitasking.
>>12722797>>12722779Switch emulation on Android is also surprisingly decent because the Switch is also an ARM device, an emulators can do native code execution.>>12722742So it's a bit of both, but yeah, if it can play PS2 it can play Switch, especially if it can play the ones you mentioned.Retroid Pocket 6 is probably the cheaper option right now.
>>12723031>Retroid Pocket 6 is probably the cheaper option right now.nvm, I'm retarded and though the Nova was more expensive. Actually go for the Nova if you want to play PS2.
>>12723031I've been told the ps2 emulation sucks on android because aether/nether are forks of pcsx2 which does ps2->x86 translation, but because there's no arm-specific JIT recompilers, the aether/nether emulators end up doing ps2->x86->arm.

>>12723230How do you know he didn't have retro beverages
>>12723230Like 50% of the thread is probably people that don't own any handhelds and just watch youtube reviews about them.It think that would explain a lot of the posts here.
>>12723254It's baffling. I don't get how it's possible to be this much of an autistic faggot. There's plenty of better content on YouTube if people just want watch some guy talk.I genuinely, truly, wish death upon everyone in this thread.
Last minute redesign retroid strikes again.>fan ditching screw mount for adhesive to reduce noise and vibration
>>12723319>adhesive instead of screwsinb4 these start falling apart next year
Dunno where to ask but what if I'm looking for something to connect to my TV for 2 people to play together, what are the best chinkonsoles for me?Something like mario kart multiplayer and maybe PS2/3 games, 60 fps is a must
>>12723325I'm only concerned if this adhesive can withstand the constant temperature shifts and last long, for at least the mount should still be available if necessary. I also wonder if they're gonna change that for their other chinkhelds, namely the Thor which has everyone complain about the fan.
>>12723210>>12723230>Xhe doesn't kno nu-chinkhelds were never retroThis is what happens when you allow retroiditttors in your thread
>>12723335Steam machine
>>12723340Pretty much no adhesive can withstand constant temperature shifts for more than 2 years.>>12723335>PS2>PS3 especially>chinkheldsAbsolutely none of them. Even the Steam Deck is too weak for PS3. You're better off buying a Steam Machine like the other anon has suggested. Or a better PC.
>>12723436Yeah, that's what I'm thinking but I'm no expert. The problem then becomes either matching the adhesive or sourcing screws.Deck handles DeS and Tokyo Jungle well, I don't need more.
>>12723436How about N64 and PS1 then? Or just N64, and older gens
>>12723319>Retroid has once again lied and directly screwed over their clients>everyone will continue to praise them as the saviors of retro gaming>meanwhile they will keep shitting on Ayaneo as if they were the greatest evil simply for not shipping their shit on timeIs Retroid the Nintendo of this hobby?

>>12723524nvm didn't see the chainthe rg35xxh works, has mini hdmi out, and two usb c ports for plugging two controllers into, and it has bluetooth if you're a subhuman savage who uses bluetooth controllers like a neanderthalstill, lots of other things will fit that bill too, some stuff won't if you either a) want two usb ports (sp devices) or b) want to use wireless connectivity of any kind (iirc: rg 35xx, rg 35xxsp, rg28xx)

Hoping to get mine soon, thanks for your input.Also do any of you anons have the MCON Controller for phones? And if so what are your thoughts on it?I have a newer Pixel Phone, so I could probably just emulate PSP/VITA games on it and any games up to maybe the Switch, and buy something like this to keep it nice and portable in my pocket...Its kinda pricey at like $100-$150, but would make the perfect handheld on the go? (in terms of power)
>>12723654Well You Can Always Sell Your PC Anon
>>12723536you ruined the box idiot
>>12723679I will sell my switch and my rp mini v2 instead
>>12723469>N64It's surprisingly demanding. Cheapest options would be in the $90-$120 range:>Helegaly Action Pi>Retroid Pocket 2S>Retroid Pocket 3>PowKiddy RGB10MAX3 Pro>Game Kiddy GKD 350H UltraThere's a few others, but they lack video out. Ignore the anon that recommended H700 devices (Anbernic XX series) since those can barely run some N64 games even with all speed hacks enabled. You need something at least 3x more powerful for comfortable N64 gameplay. PS1 is much easier to emulate so barely any device struggles with it.However, I'd recommend buying something in the $150-$225 range. A lot of PS2 games are playable on those devices, and considering you want to play on a TV you'll probably want to upscale the PS1/N64 games a bit and maybe even apply a widescreen hack or heavier mods.Probably anything in this list would be a smarter purchase than any of the devices I've mentioned above: https://retrocatalog.com/retro-handhelds?filters=%7B%22priceCategory%22%3A%22Mid-Range%22%2C%22ps2%22%3Atrue%2C%22videoOut%22%3Atrue%7D>>12723580Yep, the PS2 is a fucking nightmare. They have like 5 different disjointed memory modules and just as many co-processing chips thrown all over the place. It's crazy.

>>12723686Max your accent is improving.
>>12723017Nothing really. Other than to jiggle your willy around and say 'Oooooh I got 12 gigs'. Dunno why I got the 12GB 477V for example, totally pointless kek. But I put handhelds down as a business expense so it really doesn't matter.

ive got some bezosbucks, whats the least shit handheld on amazon? preferably with good cfw support. or should i just get a phone controller?
I want to get a gift for someone that can play psp games reasonably and ideally fits the correct resolution. i was leaning towards just buying them a psp but are there better options cost wise? most things either seem to lack an analog stick, are significantly higher price than a psp, or cant really run psp well.
>>12723926get an actual psp.
When is the nova flip coming out?
>>12723863Something that doesn't explode
>>12723926Anbernic RG Vita Pro, or even the regular RG Vita if you don't mind running games at 1x-2x resolution. A PSP is absolutely not worth it in 2026.

>>12723926I play my PSP games on my retroid pocket 5, and MOST games run at essentially 100%, but since Peace Walker needs to change the renderer off vulkan into the other one, I forget the name, I can only give you the best advice I can give you:If you want 100% compatibility with all PSP games, just get the PSP. Get a new battery since the old ones are hurting and get an SD card adaptor, CFW the thing and go wild.
I legit thought it was called allwinner because it won many awards
>>12723926A Vita would probably be your best bet if all you care about is PSP games.
>>12724067PSP through Vita is OK but you're fucking around going into Adrenaline and also it's original resolution which doesn't look that good on the Vita. It's still a good option because you get the whole PSP library and the Vita library.
>>12723926All the people recommending niphelds over chinkhelds are idiots.
Notice the very moment anyone start sounding like reddit they get zero repliesLiterally laughing right now
Chinkhelds are 80% slop.Slop means there's something wrong on purpose. Clicky triggers, PWM, hard buttons, cheap plastic, muffled sound, cardinal snapping, no hall effect sticks, mediocre battery life, overheat, sticks in line with sticks instead of slightly inwards, a bit heavy, glassfront, big bezels, overprized...But only a few get it right.By reading comments here and there you'll see people praising some specific things over and over and a fanbase is born. No performative coping pictures but proper text on why the handheld feels so good.Not thor, sorry T.And neither whathever you have Carlos stay away.
>>12724105I meant to say sticks in line with dpad, Carlos
>>12724076Bubble booter means you never have to open adrenaline, but psp games look really good on retroid stuff...>>12724081You would recommended the shit ones desu. A telescopic controller is also an option and it's not like psp gets any chip not named rockshit hot.

Where are the fucking membrane button handhelds? Sick of dome switches and microswitches. SNES controller is perfect. Original GBA is perfect. DS Lite was the best. But every goddamn emulation handheld uses loud clicky buttons.

>>12724938Stop buying verticals and anbernic clamshells and you'll find them.>Original GBA is perfect.Actually no, but 34xx gets rid of the microswitches on shoulders for membranes. Most pleasant and under-advertised aspect about it.
>>12723674>>12721764You will get a better psp experience from a handheld that can actual upscale it. Psp/vita are nice but they are not optimal for most other systems or the best way to play them, the homebrew emulators are just a cool bonus. If you want to play more then you should think about getting thr retroid pocket 5/6 or the thor. The gen 2 chip in the expensive thor and rp6 can play switch and pc games but I only recommend getting the 12gb version so you aren't gimped, the 865 chip on the rp5 and cheaper thor can play everything to gen 6 in power, psp and some light switch and pc gaming, the rp5 has 12gb of ram so that shouldn't be an issue. Vita emulation is still developing but luckily a lot of its library has been ported so if you can play switch or pc then you can probably find a decent amount of port that are also on the vita. There are also a lot of front ends that try and make your system look more like a 3ds/ds or psp and make it feel more like a console.
>>12723926Mangmi air x, trimui smart pro s, rg vita/pro . Mangmi is the best but if you don't want to pay around 100 plus with shipping then the other two are decent options.
>>12725034T618 is better than the snapdragon the mangmi uses. The snapdragon is only good for 5 gamehub games he'll be able to play
>>12724484Poggers 2ds clone
>>12725034>Mangmi Air X>better than RG Vita ProWhat the absolute fuck are you smoking? The CPU is ever so slightly better in the Vita Pro, while the GPU performance is significantly better in it.
>>12725048>>12725082It's a better purchase than the pro even if it's not as powerful especially if your performance celling is psp. The pro will probably be obsolete in the 150 range if anbernic prices their next SD chip device well.
>>12725110>if anbernic prices their next SD chip device wellIf they do then the Air X won't be a serious option.
>>12724915They'll just use the meme flags.
>>12725025Exactly. psp is 500X better on steamdeck and i got my deck for $200
>>12725115It would still be the best psp option on a budget unless anbernic makes the pro cheaper.
>>12725186How? The regular rgvita and gamemt ex8 both mog. Vita even more because it has better controls. Ex8's g99 is straight up a very good chip for its price point.
>>12725186>It would still be the best psp option on a budgetThe normal RG Vita is still ever so slightly more powerful than the Air X.
>>12725220>regular vita720 screen and 3gb ram for Android and doesn't upscale all psp games, the smart pro s is a better option if someone really can't spend like 15 bucks more for the air x.>ex8Those ergonomics look like hell, it's also 3:2If I want more 6th gen emulation I'd rather get something that reliably plays most (but preferably all) of the games in its library at native.
>>12725246I'm telling ya. Thr magnmi's ass. Vita, shartpro s, and ex8 mog.>3gb ramStill upscale psp more than magnmi. The only real negative of the t618 is it freaks out if you don't turn it on for too long.
>>12725246>720 screenAnd? You're pretending like any of these are capable of running PSP at above 3x scaling.
>>12724081Yes, yes (you) are.
>>12725254I was thinking of the smart pro s that can't upscale all of them so I had it mixed up, they are pretty similar with upscaling psp>>12725267You can upscale n64, ps1 and dreamcast to a higher resolution, don't think it can do 1080p but its more than 720. if you can go for a better screen and an extra gb of ram for barely more money then that is an easy choice.
>>12723674>And any and all, but Switch Games would be nice, so having a powerful handheld strong enough to fit into your pocket would be ideal...But also I want to play PC-Level too if possible, but mostly indies nothing too insane.Listen, ignore the people minmaxing dollars and just get a RP6 or a non-Lite Thor. You won't get there penny pinching, but you are giving away pocketability to reach those. And Vita emulation isn't all that functional.
>>12723674>having a powerful handheld strong enough to fit into your pocket would be ideal...why? you really need to bing outside? just get a laptop or use your computer
>>12725371If I read he wanted switch, I would've just rec'd the Odin 2 portal. Rp6 without the flaws.>>12725421That IS the point of a handheld after all. Course, idk how long they last with the more powerful stuff
>>12725220>>12725186any 16:9 retroid pocket is better than the sneeda, go buy an RP3 off ebay
>>12725564>Retroondittor shartin over anbernigGEG! The rgvita is the t618 with the LEAST problems. I say this as an x28 enjoyed. Which also moggs the memetroid pocket 3+.

>>12725937cute kot tho
>>12723926Its impressive how many people read this and missed that the handheld needs to be cheaper than a psp or that it’s a gift.
>>12725937Pretty clear how he's being poked to walk back on the button sharpness (renounced that term and still uses it btw) that he was so 'unbothered' and 'nitpicky' and 'sensorial' about, he actually took the time while rushing out a preview to record closeups and then grilled other reviewers about it. Jewey brought it up too, though his stream was more like watching an incoherent hobo going over a freebie from a company he despises with senseless, idiotic opinions such as BEZELS BAD, only to immediately try to damage control his contrarian assburger outbursts because he really wants to keep receiving review units again.

Which cfw is best for the 34xxsp? MuOS? Would I miss out on certain edge case games if I pick that cfw over Knulli or the others? Do any of them do gamenative/portmaster stuff better?
>>12726489Yes there's a way to know. Go here www.reddit.com
>>12725940NOW
>>12726494I did in search results.But I wanted a more credible opinion.
>>12726489yeah MuOS lets you check the ram in system information, I think Knulli does too
>>12726509>iS iT wOrTh It???Like i said
After getting a handheld I actually play too many video games and it's ruining my life.
I’m a real curmudgeon in regards to that topic.While I appreciate these retro handhelds for keeping digital media alive, it’s gross as fuck how much of it just becomes e-waste, due to no real repairability. Which is worse because you KNOW it’s on purpose, because they know that the average user of this sub will buy the same thing ten times over if you move the joystick layout or add transparent plastic or a hinge.I know that PSPs, Vitas, and 3DS’s are older and can only emulate reasonably up to a point; but I’d rather have something that I can repair and replace the batteries and keep alive for decades over any of the e-waste disasters that this sub loves.
>sub>subs while taking in the assyeap, a real troony that one there.........
>>12726402Ice-T FUCKED Techdweeb.>>12726608>PTBRHe's right tho. There was a stinker on baidu with the retroon pocket 3 and 3+ about how you couldn't replace their batteries with comman tablet batteries without doing fuckery to the motherboard. That's why chinks have a love/hate relationship with retroid. Of course, this isn't a problem with powCunny and the original chad90. Nokia batteries never die

>>12727161>>12727168bummer about speakers and fan noise :(
RG SP release date when?
>>12727362soon
>>12726923such a beautiful story, very movingshaking even
>>12726441You'll be waiting a while.
>>12727435What's his fucking problem
>>12727161>>12727168pleasantly surprised with the battery life but the fan worries me
>>12727435the fuck did he do to it
>>12727439>>12727447Package got run the fuck over.
>>12727447judging by the box, it arrived like thatprobably a USPS accident or somethingit is rare but does happen from time to time.once a retard sent me an Akira figure, new in box, in a mail BAG, without fillers even... fucks sake, of course it arrived with the box mangled. Got half my money back from the retard, but I still seethe, such care to survive a figure new in box for a stupid crackhead to make a quick buck selling it using a bag. In this case, the packaging is fine, this was an accident, something was done wrong in the chain of custody, this little package bag should have never been under giant refrigerator boxes
>>12727124A healthy kidz sure. Have you not?
A real SP would've have survived that car
>>12727508Exactly...these guangdongos man..
>>12727451>clears unclearable voice>"Hey there, how you doing? Today I am super freaking excited to show this thing to you... or, well, what's left of it. My beautiful retro beige Flipzizzle got completely crushed, and looking at the absolute pancake of plastic that lives inside my heart right now is making me so incredibly sad. Stop flipping out, I told you not to flip out!"

I watched Russ's review and just ordered my 16Bit RP Nova.Ask me anything.
>>12727809Do you really NEED it?
>>12727809>I watched Russ's reviewWe must be better men.
>>12727821I assume you just buy things blindly without looking at any reviews like a real man
>>12727809How did you put up with it? I'm interested and I just had to keep skipping ahead because he had fucking nothing important to say. It was more of an ad to people new to chinkhelds than anything.
>>12727819Nah. I have an Odin 2 Portal already.
>>12727828>I assume you just buy thingsThat's where you're wrong.Nothin personnel, kid.
>>12727161>>12727168>sent FOUR review unitsLike him or not, I take that to mean his content is by far the most valuable to Retroid.
>>12727864I take it to mean his content isn't impartial
Notice how he never directly compares it to 477M. That weasel wants to remain on good terms with both Anbernic and Retroid. It's a fucking ad channel
>>12727710In Anbernic's defense. The hinge was one of the few things that survived intact after being run over.
>>12727886>Notice how he never directly compares it to 477Mbut he did?
>>12726962My experience was always the complete opposite of that. Release day oled Vita, weird.
>>12727168jamesDSP to the rescue
do zoomshits play like this
>>12727886Not only he compared it to the 477M, he did some incredible gymnastics to soften the fact that pile costs MORE.
>>12727934I'm 35 and I play like that when I'm replaying a metroidvania or something.Sometimes I'll play the game just as something to do while I listen to a podcast/video.Does that make you upset?
>>12727809Enjoy the PWMussy
>>12727819>>12727840Nah. I have a vita
>>12727992>I'm looking..... ahfr?
>>12727972and you are very manly i suppose
>>12727907>the only praise vita really gets is its long ass idle battery sleep modeB-but it doesn't affect me so you're not weal
>>12727886Isn't the RG-477M a strictly worse handheld?>40% heavier>SoC with shitty proprietary drivers>has a display which drains more battery>CPU deliberately underclocked so that the metal body doesn't overheat and burn your hands
>>12727886Post your 477m pics with shaders and stfu
>>12728000Display is better in every sense and I'm not in the minority when i say this. If you've got taste you'll pick an ips over an oled for retro all of the day bro
INCEL IPS = NO PWM > any oled shiet
>>12728000And digital inline triggers instead of stacked analog.
>>12728005I'm not autistic enough to care about the differences between LCD and OLED. I pick whichever one looks better or is functionally better.>>12728025I didn't even notice this holy shit. 477M also has vertically stacked front controls instead of skewing them to make them comfortable for your thumbs. It just keeps getting worse the more I look at it.
When did romsunlocked die?!
>>12728040Well yeah the main criticism was always inline digital shoulders.
>>12728049Don't care, I collected all my roms already. That's the nice thing about retro, you only need the files once.
What's the closest thing to a 40XX H with no sticks?
>>12728137A 40XX H with the sticks removed from the casing, because if you leave the connectors without anything you get phantom inputs. Some anon posted his 35XX H, I think, like that a while ago.
>>12728040Nobody cares
>>12728137Found it.>>12489565>>12490725I was gonna do it to my CubeXX but never got around it.
What can they realistically improve?Is it peak?

Just how bad is the rg ds? I see that there is a bunch of community firmware now that fixes a lot of issues but I was wondering if it's actually worth picking up for DS and other retro systems to emulate. I know it can't run melonDS and the screen doesn't scale for ds games but how big of an issue is this?
>>12728224non integer scale is trash unless you can bruteforce it with high ppi
>>12720184Is RG 35XX SP any good for playing outdoors? I have V90 and it's useless due to the sun. How is the hinge durability?
>>12728235>Is RG 35XX SP any good for playing outdoors?Be the judge (full brightness btw)
>>12728198Should be fanless
>>12728235get a fucking original gba or sp 001.they look better than anything else under direct sunlight.

>>12728198Tbh once everyone else makes their own Nova this niche hobby is solved.>clams>solved>verticals>solved>widescreen>solvedI have no idea what those chinkheld sweatshops gonna do in the coming years.
>>12728369>Digital triggersThere is a digital option in the settings.
>>12728506It's not the software input that matters. It's the physical feeling of a short, tactile button press, as opposed to the long awful spongy feeling of an analog trigger pull.
>>12728369ThisI'm sick of loud dome switches
>>12728561Digital triggers are a regression from analog triggers. You lose functionality in gamecube and racing games.
>>12728572I'm still surprised max zhou allowed clickys in the first place. The rgplus/rs97 has a KINOED memebrane dpad that they couldn't match since.
>>12728585After using both a handheld and telescopic controller with analog triggers, I now know digital was always better. Having acutal buttons for l3/r3 instead of pressing the sticks is also better.
>>12728585Analog triggers are the biggest meme in all of gaming. It's always the same two things I hear: racing games and GameCube. And it's not even as true as people say. First, it's only racing sims, and the only car games I like are more arcade-y fare. Mario Kart, Vigilante 8, Cruis'n, Crazy Taxi, etc. Second, the only example from GameCube I ever hear people give is Mario Sunshine. I played the Switch version with the Pro controllers and had absolutely no issues whatsoever using FLUDD. I'm sure there are more games that physically exist, but not only are they games that I don't play, it seems like most other people don't play either, elsewise they'd mention them every once in a while.On the flipside, a short throw digital input is quicker and more comfortable to use. Analog triggers have been a regression in useability for 99.pi% of all games ever created, and 100% of the ones I play and care about. I'm sure it's super wonderful for all the racing sim enthusiasts out there, but designing general purpose gaming devices in a way that caters primarily to a niche segment of the market doesn't make sense. At the very least, if the anal log autists aren't ready to give up their garbage input method, then hair-trigger switches that allow analog triggers to behave like digital buttons need to start becoming the norm.
>>12727656>paper doll cutaway gag about his crush getting run over by a cari don't know where the character begins and the real man ends but every skit he does fills me with dread
>>12727168>day after the preorder bonuses no longer applyi already made up my mind that i didn't need it but the more he showed off the more i'm kinda interested in picking it up for portable armored core. emulating on my pc or my 'eck kinda blows.
>>12728374>this niche hobby is solvedThis, but unironically. I have a Portal and see no reason to buy another 16:9 Android handheld anytime soon. If the Nova is just as good, I'm done wasting money trying to fight the "right" handhelds. There's nothing I want to play that can't be handled by one of the two.
There's GBAs, DSs, PSPs, etc from way back when that still work by just replacing the battery and maybe the buttons.What's the expected lifespan of one of these retro handhelds? Does anyone still have a working one from 5+ years ago? Is this hobby still too new to know?
feeling the urge to be performative and play pokemon romhacks in a cafe on the SP
>>12728695anbernic's will survive a nuclear apocalypsethe rest not so much
>>12728657Which armored core anon?
>>12728621>AnalStopped reading
>>12728198Ips instead of oled so it doesn't fry your eyes. Thank you for coming to my irritating talk.
Will one of these work for the tf card being read on computer? Or does it need to be a certain type?
>>12728695my RG505 is still going great, almost 4 years old. not sure what the lifespan on the cheapo R36 stuff would be though, or anything with hinges.
do I get an rgslide for 100 bros?
>>12728819No, that's dumb
>>12728847I bought 3
Bought a Gameboy Color with a fucked up LCD (probably just needs the polarizer fixed) and a non functioning speaker ($2 fix) for 6000 Yen. I'm sure if I would have bought it before I could get it a lot cheaper, but oh well. You know how it is. The best time to buy was yesterday and it's not going to be any cheaper tomorrow. IPS mod/case replacement is what I want to do but I wanted to make sure I got something that wasn't in horrific condition.Another bonus is that the battery cover matches my childhood GBC which I don't have with me but it's in the possession of my mom. It will be reunited with me someday. I swapped the purple one with my friend's yellow one when I was 11 because I was 11 and that's just the kind of thing I thought was cool and made my GBC different.
>>12728779 i use an ugreen one and it has worked with no problems
>>12728198What video is this screenshot from, anon?
>>12728886Now with tripfag
>>12728909Calm down
>>12728890I was going to but I needed a few other bits for usb transfers and such. I thought I might've been able to kill two birds with one device. Will it not work?
>>12728754all of 'em before 4 obviously. i've played them all but always like an excuse to play last raven or silent line again.>>12728819i bought one and quickly returned it because it was pretty ass. the off center screen and how thick it is really sucks.
>>12728249So what's the point of these devices or IPS mods in general?
>>12728621And do you drive your car by slamming the accelerator til it's completely to the metal and then when you reach nearby traffic or a junction you disengage the accelerator and proceed to slam your foot on the brake until it's fully depressed? This is just assuming that you drive an automatic because if it's a manual then presumably you're burning out clutches daily. Calling analog triggers which allow you granular pressure based input a regression is stupid and you know.
