2 days until nig sp
Is it worth even considering an Ayn Thor if I already have two modded 3DSes?
>>12730598No because it plays DS and 3DS worse than the og hardware and has overblown colors thanks to the OLED
>>12730598I'd get a more comfortable single screen device if I were you
>>12730606Well that's disappointing but what I wanted to know thank anon.>>12730607Honestly I spent a sacrilegious amount of money on those official Hori grips for my New 3DS and it feels perfect but I was wondering if the Thor is worth it. I have a Steam Deck for anything non-DS/3DS
>>12730614Dual screen emulation just isn't quite there yet. Installing rocknix does help with input lag but dual booting operating systems is not stable on the Thor from my experience. The android side of the device completely broke when I tried it
>>12730598If you were thinking of it almost exclusively because of 3DS then no, 3DS emulation in general just isn't there yet.
When is my RP Nova coming?I'm waiting...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QntymbB9a2QNow that the dust has settled, what's the verdict /hhg/?
>>12730670Can't bring myself to care when it's possible they are making what's in the OP image
>>12730670GAAAAAAAWWWWWWWDDDSSSS(didnt click, not watching)
>>12730673>Can't bring myself to care when it's possible they are making what's in the OP imageit isn't. they are doing a dual screen thor competitor
>>12730670I'll wait for the V2 with a quieter fan noise
The average redditor says "BUY IT NOW, ITS YOUR LAST CHANCE", not realising that within 6-12 months it is absolutely obsolete.
>>12730670It'd be perfect were it not for the fan.
>>12730736Qualcomm already announced that they are going to increase the price of their chips in September and memory prices are still on the rise, in 6 months it's going to cost you more and there will be no Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 successor at that price point, so no, it will not be obsolete.
>>12730736What are we talking about here? Nothing's obsoleting the Nova if that's what you mean.
>>12730736The thor isn't obsolete yet but it's possible they release the retroid dual screen handheld within thor's first year of life
>New ayaneo gbalike>Has a fanWtf is chip are they even using? It's just gba.>>12730598Odin 2 portal or rg557
>>12730759Nothing too strong, it's 5v2a charging. People were theorizing the PAM chip or something around that ballpark.
Did anyone who review the Nova test the Bluetooth audio? Because on other Retroid products it's bad, like laughably bad into multiple seconds of audio delay.
>>12730681>>12730738Do yall play games without audio? it's not like you can hear the fan over the game's sound/music
>>12730765Not that I've seen, but you could try asking forthenext or retrotechdad, they're pretty approachable.>>12730795Depends on the game. Highest end, PC emulation? You're absolutely gonna hear the fan.
>>12730759>fandead on arrival who is going to buy an expensive gbe clone when the anbernic does what you'd want it to for under $60
do these black bars really justify so much autistic screeching and the need to purchase yet another $200+ device?
>>12730736>within 6-12 months it is absolutely obsolete.Completely untrue in a post AI ram/storage shortage world, also we're limited by emulation software at this point, not hardware, been that way for like 2 years. The "flagship" handhelds are still using 4 year old SoCs that can run everything that's currently compatible with the emulators.
>>12730817Of course.
>>12730736>not realisingThey say that because they do realize and they have to shill it so as many buytards as possible generate as many sales as they can before the next slop is announced.
>>12730751That's what you thought with the 3+. Then the 2S. Then the RP4P. Then the RPMini. Then the RP5G2. You are now here.
Powkiddy and Analogue Pocket are so obsolete that we don't even get to joke about them anymore.
As spotted by RetroDodo, Zhang says the following during the Pocket Advance livestream – but it's worth noting that this has been automatically translated into English:"We will make a GBA SP. We haven't figured out how to do it yet."
>>12730837First off, embarrassing samefagging up there. Second,>That's what you thought with the 3+.Too weak for PS2 and GC, start and select placement is wrong, screen had ghosting.>Then the 2S. True. Still unmatched at $100 3 years later.>Then the RP4P.Fixed the buttons, screen still fucked.>Then the RPMini.Fucked right out the gate, cost the same as the RP5 with less RAM, lacked the plastic frame around face buttons so the glass wouldn't slice them, then the screen.>Then the RP5G2.No one has ever thought the G2 was good.>>12730841Anal log might genuinely not have a market to sell a GBA anymore, these fucking retards sat on it too long.
>>12730848G2 had the best color options tho
>>12730848>screen still fuckedNope. RP4P is still GOATed in a post-RP2S world.
>>12730681I'm hoping for either a vertical or a flip version.
do those larger horizontals with front speakers like the odin 2 portal and retroid pocket 6 not have the same muffled sound issue the nova does?
>>12730817The nova only costs 200 bucks?
>>12730912$230
>>12730912230, 240 in August 6.
>>12730817Would pay $400 just to not have the stupid glass front.
>>12730912do you not understand the concept of $200+(plus)?
>>12730635Rocknix also has a reputation for fucking up installs of any other CFWs you might want to install.I noticed this mentioned when I was checking out the details of the Gamma OS v1.4 for Anbernic RGDS.Apparently, it's very good for DS games now (but not there for 3DS).Got a dedicated DSi menu interface now with a "microOS atop of Android with no bloat".https://youtu.be/DP_L0kes98A
Linuxfags are insufferable.Just use Android, you stupid idiotic fucks.
>>12730668Check the delivery dashboard on Retroid's site.https://www.goretroid.com/pages/delivery-dashboardBlack and 16-Bit getting shipped first.Then Crystal, GC, Ice Blue, Clear Purple, and Watermelon last.
>>12730670I'll wait until Ayaneo make one
>>12730970Huh? My date isn't there.I ordered it yesterday.
>>12730963>but not there for 3DSNot "not there," it was never and never will be good for 3DS with those specs. For 3DS you're looking at $200+ for a chinkheld that can do more than like Shovel Knight or something.
>>12730812It's going to be under $100. It's basically a Pocket Air Mini with a different screen and shell. I'd rather pay $30 more than buying a fucking h700 device in 2026.
>>12730967>He doesn't kno jeetdroid is shartnix>>12730983Wasn't the 34xxsp supposed to be the last and final h700? Wtf is wrong with max?
>>12730974I ordered July 28th, so I'm gonna be waiting longer than this initial wave.>>12730978Fair, yeah this shit won't ever run even lightweight 3DS games well.You really shouldn't be getting an RGDS for anything BUT DS games, but it's got the right specs for 4th and some 5th generation consoles.
What is the point of these retroid devices when I can get a switch lite for half the price and similar performance
>>12731029Yeah I'm saying this as someone who likes the idea of the RG DS, I'd get it if I played more DS games but I don't want anyone thinking it's a 3DS replacement when not even the Thor is. That RF4 part of the ad was pretty scummy on Anbernic's part.
>>12731035 (Me)(I have the skills to hack a switch lite, it's doable)
>>12731035Why do you need a Shitch Shite? Just use your phone, honky.
>>12731040RGDS needs another revision with more suitable screens, but finding something that will scale 256x192 without specifically manufacturing them on demand seems unlikely.
>>12731051Trimui Brick Pro has a 4 inch 1024x768 screen.
>>12731035for roughly the price of a switch lite you can get an rp6 which has a 1080p oled screen, emulates everything up to ps2/gamecube with ease, and also plays switch games
>>12731054Would two of those be affordable for a budget system though?RGDS successor needs to be a non-budget enthusiast device but I doubt they'll do that.
>>12730963I was so disappointed when this thing came out, but it looks good now.I may grab one if they go on sale to play Pokeyman and Etrian Odyssey.
>>12731051They can just bezel it like the RG34XXSP.
>>12731061The switch lite second hand market is cheap and plentiful.
Does anyone know who's video this screenshot comes from?
>>12731051I asked about rg DS at the end of last thread, what exactly is the issue with the scalling? It's the same screen as the other 4 inch xx devices so can't you just use filters and and a shader to fix or should I say make it look better? I like the idea of having a bigger screen clamshell for the other systems as well so I'm not just planning on ds emulation, mostly ps1 and n64 but after watching the snacks and drinks man review it he mentioned that it gets warm with higher end systems
>>12731095Photo from little man if I had to guess, I recognize the background.
>>12731091Enjoy your drifting sticks.
>>12731097DS resolution is 256x192, most 4:3 retro handhelds are a multiple of 320x240 like 640x480 or 1280x960.RGDS uses 640x480 panels which scales DS games 2.5x, which will look a bit fuzzy but better than any other non-integer scales (like awkward 2.333x or 2.667x scales)1280x960 can do 5x integer scale though, the Retroid Pocket Nova uses that.
>>12731123>GDS uses 640x480 panels which scales DS games 2.5xHOLY FUCKING GRIM LMAOpeople bought this???
>>12731145yup.dual 1024x768, which are widely available, should have been better.perfect 4x scale.
>>12731145It unironically looks better than playing DS games on 3DS.256x192 -> 320x240 is actual shit, and 1x scale looks tiny as fuck.3DS cfw can install custom scalers for DS mode which is an improvement over the stock scaler, but it's still not good.
>>12731178That's fair but DS on 3DS isn't a high bar to clear
I like this fat bald british russ with jokeshttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VBl3v66lq9c
>>12730967no android is dog shit for these devices
linux won
>>12731273Retroid Pocket Nova will probably get a Batocera CFW down the line and I'm very interested in thatAlso nice dubs
>>12731273now that rocknix has armsx2 it is endgame, we won bros
>>12731273Holy fuarking digits, linux actually did win
should i "upgrade" my rg351m from amberelec to rocknix?
>>12731480Nuclear bomb propaganda so we don't make coughing babies too strong
can I put steamos on any of these pocketable handhelds yetI am done with jeetdroid and all the fucked up hacked together piece of shit linux versions
I keep seeing Armsx2 brought up. If I've been using nethersx2 on my rp4p, is it worth switching?
>>12730817I love how he's using the most dogshit shader he could find to downplay how bad the screen calibration is
>>12730637What about something to play the old stuff + PSP tops? Hopefully something that I can take to work (I have so much dead time and strong work firewalls prevent me from doing anything fun on a computer) and isn't too bulky/noticeable
>>12731604For me it's Retroid Pocket 4 Pro or Retroid Pocket Flip 2 since either fits in my pocket. Thor is more powerful than either one of those (Flip 2 is either RP4P or RP5 tier depending on which version you pick, Thor is RP6 tier iirc) so you should be fine. If you ever wonder about a chinkheld, look up videos like "[chinkheld] playing [console] games" to see how they might play some games. As far as I know though, RP4P does PSP great. Did MM Powered Up, MM Maverick Hunter X, Nayuta no Kiseki, Trails in the Sky SC, Crisis Core FF7 on it.
>>12730598If you want to play anything other than 3DS/DS, then yes.>>12731301Is it as bad as the Android version or is it actually on par with pcsx2?>>12731570From my understanding nethersx2 is a very outdated build of pcsx2, while armsx2 is built on top of the latest version of pcsx2.
>>12731575Actually this reminds me to ask, he was using a shader to account for the Nova having a 1280x960 screen which doesn't accommodate a perfect integer scale of the 256x224 resolution of the SNES, but a 5x scale comes pretty close at 1280x1120. With that plus overscan you lose only about 1/7th of the image vertically, and nothing horizontally; obviously still not ideal, but games of the era were designed for CRTs where overscan was normal (see: devs avoided placing UI elements near the top and bottom of the screen since they'd often be cut-off on a consumer TV set) so the experience will be more than playable, at worst you may need to fiddle with the emulator's Y-axis offset so the image is centred properly.Is he not aware of all this, or is this not common knowledge? The video presented it as if you had to use shaders to compensate for it or simply live with any non-integer scaling artifacts.
>>12731570I've been trying out armsx2 lately, it works pretty well and has nice qol/features over nether. Nether is more stable/better with the games I tried overall, the armsx2 dev just added support for nether/aether save states so it's easier to try it now than ever. But if you're only looking for one ps2 emulator then nether is still better imo.
>>12730670are handhelds even going obsolete anymore, the bottleneck are the dogshit android emulators not the hardware
>>12731604If you have the money for a thor and want a PSP device just get a odin 3 or portal since they can do switch too. Retroid is the budget poorfag sister company of AYN
>>12730598I bought the Thor as my first Android handheld after using a few of the budget Linux emulation handhelds for about two years. I also have a New 3DS XL as well as a DSi XL. I honestly bought it more for having a guide/video/keyboard/whatever on a second screen while I game more than anything. I also just like clamshells because they're self-protecting and I don't have to worry about throwing it in a bag. I do play DS/3DS on it and it's great, especially for games with HD texture packs like DQ8 and games that don't require constant and precise touch in general. Even for games that do require that, I feel like the drama is a little overblown unless you're a serious rhythm gamer or something. I played Trauma Center 1 on my Thor with a Nintendo Switch stylus and I performed about the same as I do on my DSi XL, probably even a little better as the DSi's digitizer continues to age. However, it's not my main focus and I will still use my 3DS more often than not for those games, especially since 3DS emulation is still not all the way there yet even on high-end handhelds. I actually played Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon on my 3DS about a month ago because that's an example of a game that still evades emulation. Outside of DS/3DS, it also plays everything up to a majority of Switch games great, though I already have a Switch Lite that I play a lot of my Switch games on instead. You can see the pattern here, and the big question you need to ask yourself is how married you are to the devices you already own. It's one thing to play home console stuff like PS2 on an emulation handheld because the convenience of being portable already makes up for whatever input lag or inaccuracies you may encounter, but if the devices you already own are modded and are portable to begin with, it starts to look more redundant. Is this going to be a replacement for old hardware, or just a way to play some games where accuracy doesn't matter much at 4x scaling and with save states?(cont.)
>>12732027>>12730598For everything else, I admit the second screen is a novelty that wears off unless you remind yourself to use it for things. If you don't have something up on the second screen, it's going to monitor your FPS and thermals at best and at worst it becomes something to accidentally touch with your fingers and un-focus the primary screen and disable the controls until you touch the screen your game is on again. I can't tell you how many times I've been reading something and press B thinking the game is in focus and I close a tab in Chrome. Also, since all of these devices use Android, there probably isn't anything stopping you from just swiping out of a game and freezing it to open your web browser to check something for a second and then swipe back into the game on single-screen devices. Aside from that, it's still a powerful Android handheld with great build quality and controls (except for the short triggers which can be annoying for some people) and a big OLED screen that most things in this range have, everything else is up to preference. The clamshell form factor might be uncomfortable for you and not as ergonomic as a standard single-screen horizontal device, or you might prefer a symmetrical stick layout vs. the Xbox controller layout, things like that are worth considering. I can recommend the Thor, it's a device I really like and plays everything I would ever want to emulate more than fine, but I feel like you wouldn't miss out terribly if you got any other Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 device or higher, especially something cheaper and more readily available as you can expect to wait 6 to 10+ weeks for your Thor order and AYN continues to raise the prices every batch. Some recommendations are the Odin 2 Portal and the Retroid Pocket 6 or Nova. You could even go for something with a weaker chip like the Retroid Pocket 5 or Flip if you don't care about Switch.
>>12732028I feel like the second screen is really only useful for DS games and a majority of the good games on DS you can just turn off the second screen on a non dual screen handheld until you need to use the inventory, and at that point why not just get a Portal
>>12732038It's a good point. I'm personally a stickler for keeping the second screen on whenever possible, but if the emulation for 3DS is not at the same level as something like Dolphin and accuracy will be bottlenecked by Android and modern touch screen technology for the time being anyways, you might as well play in the form factor you want. I think the Thor is more than good enough for most DS games but nothing I'd sell my original hardware for yet.
The Miyoo Mini is back from the dead, againhttps://lomiyoo.com/products/miyoo-mini-v4
>>12732106>€53,17That's kinda expensive for this shitty handheld. At that price I'd rather get something with an H700. RG35XX and RG28XX are both 50€, while others are just 8€-20€ more expensive.
>>12730963This but with membrane buttons and dpad like the actual ds lite would make me cum. Especially with enough of a spec bump to use melonds.
>>12732129I'm willing to bet the Miyoo Mini Flip momentum fell off and they were especially scared by the RG SP being announced that they decided to slow down production and repurpose the screens for their ol' reliable, either that or they found a few pallets of deadstock in a warehouse somewhere. Either way it's free money and will continue to be shilled by TechDweeb and others who insist that it's such a comfy little guy or whatever, not even sure why they discontinued it in the first place.
>>12732134pls don't cum
It's a wider game boy advance shut the fuck up
>>12731542No, and if that were to happen it'd work just like 'the fucked up hacked together piece of shit linux versions' because underneath they're all running from the same blobs.
>>12732241DECKED
>>12731542Most weaker ones come with Linux out of the box. But only some of the more powerful ones support Linux. And the support is still experimental. Give it another year or two.>hacked together piece of shit linux versionsSuch as? SteamOS and Batocera (Rocknix, Knulli) are perfectly fine.
>>12732203but why
>>12732296deshittified dpad
>>12732203>It's a wider game boy advance It is? I thought it was the same size.
>>12732150>Miyoo Mini Flip momentum fell offSad, I own both the V4 and mini flip and the mini flip is superior by far
>>12732356Apparently it was the latter, but I've been seeing the MMF deeply discounted on AliExpress and they haven't updated the firmware at all since launch.
>>12732320yes hello
>>12731937>Is he not aware of all this, or is this not common knowledge?https://youtu.be/iqRBsqWRv1E?si=vPQLfXdzdW9WvBlk&t=1955Likely not mentioned because you're talking about cropping more pixels than shown here.
>>12732457If my math is right, that's 16px on each end. Think that's fine for most games.

should I get the thor or wait for competitors/thor 2
>>12732605Wait for the Thor 4. The Thor 2 is not powerful enough to play cyberpunk 5 and Skyrim remake remaster and the Thor 3 has a factory defect on the balls scratcher
>>12732605Think you can afford to wait like 3 months and see how the retroid DS pans out. All it needs to do to be better than the Thor is have a plastic shell.
>>12731998Thanks. I'll wait a bit longer before trying it out.
>>12732171I'm sorry Techdweeb, it's already happening. And I didn't even have time to get the cage off...
>>12732630My wants for it are a list a bit longer.Not limited to..>Second TF card slot>And/Or more USB ports>6 face buttons (not absolutely essential)>Ergonomic bumps the Thor was missing.>Diagonal lower analogues, preferably might be a deal breaker if uncomfortable. Seems like a no-brainer if they are going with that bottom screen. There should be space.>We all would appreciate the larger batteries found in the original Odin 2. Sucks that we are paying more for less these days.
Tspbros....we're not obsoleted...are we? Havent seen anyone post about it in months
>>12732747Nobody cared about them just adding unnecessary sticks to the Brick.
>>12732747Well, that refresh fell off the face of the earth so you're not obsoleted.
>>12732756All they had to do was make a horizontal Brick. Just take the same internals and make it go sideways. No one wants a Brick Pro.
>>12732720Put the dpad up top and I'll buy it for that alone.
>>12732747TSP has less of a selling point compared to the Brick.
I've saved a lot of money by realising my regular Switch already does most of what these chink handhelds can. Anything starting with the PS2 is a piss poor experience on such small screens.
Which cheap($100 and under) verticals have the classic gameboy color scheme/aesthetic? I know of the Miyoo Mini Plus and the 35XX plus do but are there any others?
>>12731937You don't encounter this issue unless you're a complete and utter retard rendering SNES at 8:7 instead of its intended 4:3.

>>12733097Speaking from experience, anon?
>>12733091Powkiddy did but /hhg/ abandoned them.
>>12733051notice that the one thing that survived traumadumper's babyrage unscathed was the hinge itselfchadbernic once again proving to be the only chinkheld manufacturer who can make non-exploding hinges
>>12733102i'm not gay or retarded, so i have never had nor would i ever buy any 3ds ever, the ds sucked bad enough to make me stop buying nintendo products ever again and with it any first party product since i already wasn't ever buying shit from snoy or microjeet or smegma
>>12733105What good is a hinge with no screen or body to play games with? Anbernic won but it still came at an unpayable price...
>>12733119the point is he needs to get therapy instead of taking it out on the free chinkhelds that max zhou graces him with out of the kindness of his heart, ambernig needs to just cut the faceless leaf off like they did with the thumb-mangler of gaza
Is a Thor Lite good enough if I just want to emulate 3DS and maybe WiiU?
>>12732545take your meds, freak
>>12733180>3dsI guess it'll get by in most cases, but if you're spending that much money already, it's worth it just to get the base.>wii uno.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DpNOWV3JlKsIt's over. We lost. No reason to buy a handheld anymore.
>>12733185>vertislop
>>12733184>I guess it'll get by in most cases, but if you're spending that much money already, it's worth it just to get the base.I already have a more powerful single screen handheld so I only really need it for 3DS.I guess it's better to wait for news about Retroid dual screen device at this point.
>>12733185>uncomfortable vertical controller>breaks your USB C portNo thanks. I'd rather just buy a dedicated handheld. Fuck, I'd rather just buy the Ayaneo Pocket Play if I wanted a gaming phone.
>>12733185The one from gamesir is less dumb.>>12733207>Ayaneo Pocket PlayWhere the hell even is it?
>>12733205You should wait just in case they fix some of the ergonomics and stuff, but I doubt it's going to be much more powerful. Knowing Retroid it's just going to be an 8 gen 2 again, but a bit cheaper than the Thor.The problem with 3DS emulation is more on the software side.
>>12733058Carlos!
I feel so tempted to get the RG SP but I also know the buttons will just feel like absolute shit. Anbernic always disappoints.
>>12733342Don't get one at launch anyway, wait for CFW to catch up.RG34XXSP definitely has better buttons than the RG35XXSP did but I can still feel the membranes going.
>>12733342not making the buttons membrane was a huge missed opportunity, it could have been the near perfect h700 crackcel, instead it's unplayable e-wastethough really i'd rather they just remade the 35xxsp with superior god membrane buttons instead of having to use a 3:2 meme screen anyways>turns out the faggot hiding his tripcode is a jannoidlel
>>12733051>let's keep a bunch of r_ddit pics and shitpost them Nah. I'm good.
>>12733342>>12733394just use capton tape.I'm going to buy the graphite one because I had that in Highschool and it's nostalgic. it's also the best one to sneak some gameplay in at work, from a distance it just looks like a black phone so nobody will give me a weird look.
>>12733454capton tape isn't a solution and doesn't change the fact that the buttons are mechanically clicklet switches, snack&drink, worry more about sanding down your sharp buttons
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aI_XEwmKFk
My Odin 2 Max is still seeing frequent daily use after almost 2 years. It still works great (besides the fucking annoying as shit ghost touch issue), even the battery is still pretty good. That being said, looking at RAM and chip prices, I am getting paranoid about this thing breaking because I'd be SOL in terms of replacing it. Should I get a backup handheld now before prices get even worse than they are currently? If so what device? I already missed the boat on a Steam Deck seeing how fucking crazy the price for that is now.

>>12733587I came back to the thread to post about this, PS3 emulation looks possible pretty soon.
are the ambernig sp buttons really that bad?
>>12733707because I actually use my handheld to play video games
>>12733723nah. they're clicky like the OG. But if you want quiet buttons, you just put capton tape on it and call it a day.
>>12733531Yes it is. It makes them quiet.One guy already did it.Annoying spastic.

The "just use your phone" chads are getting some decent wins again.https://youtu.be/DpNOWV3JlKs
>>12734032All it needs is to flip all the way to the back so you can just carry it around ready like that without having the pad disconnected in your pocket.Aside from that, it looks pretty good for stick-less gaming.Knowing 8bitdo, that's probably the plan for the next iteration already.Speaking of, I'm trying to decide on another purchase I'll grow to regret.What's the best pocketable handheld that can run Portmaster games, and has two sticks? It's kind of hard to tell how big something will feel when you're just looking at it on a screen, even with reference points.
>>12734042Best is hard to say. Miyoo flip V2 finally fixed its hinges for realzies and I think it's pretty pocketable for portmaster. I'm considering the ayaneo pocket micro 2 myself though because it has rescinded sticks.
>>12734046that pocket micro 2 looks almost perfect, but the price pretty much killed it for me.I can't even imagine how uncomfortable it would be to use all of the controls on the Miyoo Flip.I don't even know why I'm looking for something new. I've already got a very well preserved 2ds xl, and an RG35XXSP as well as two other non-pocketable gaming handhelds and a PC.
Tell me why I shouldn't buy the Retroid Pocket Nova(Peak)?
>>12734076If you want it and can afford it, buy it
>>12734075Being able to just slide a device in your pocket as your daily carry instead of always taking a small bag with you feels pretty satisfying. Miyoo is surprisingly comfy and feels like any other dual stick vert.
What's the absolute smallest handheld you know of? I know about the rg-nano which is the size of a ds screen, the gkd pixel 2 which is barely bigger but notable for emulating some ds, psp and dreamcast game relatively correctly. But is there any console even smaller? Not counting actual consoles (gba micro, pokemon mini) or 100-in-1 garbage of course.
>>12734123https://retrocatalog.com/retro-handhelds?filters=%7B%22sizeCategory%22%3A%22Micro%22%7D
>>12734123i wouldn't say the nano counts since it's unobtanium now
>>12734129That's the reason why I ask if there is something even smaller.>>12734126Already had a look there before asking.>TinyCircuits ThumbyDoesn't really count since it's an actual console but Jesus. I thought the 5g weight was a typo at first.>FunKey SBasically same size as rg-nano but foldable.

>>12734076they stuck the fan on with adhesive which will melt off in a year or two
>>12734076It's pre-mogged by mini v2
>>12734201It won't because the fan will keep the system cool enough that the glue will stay on no problem
>>12734032The last thing I want is to put pressure on my USB-C port. Also no joysticks? Who is this for? Can't be the poor since it's USB-C and likely cost 40 bucks, can't be the rich since it's kinda shitty and doesn't have joysticks. I guess if you want to play exclusively pre-n64 consoles, it's okay. This comes out about 4 years too early for the European USB-C directive to have a noticeable effect.
>>12734221>it's USB-C and likely cost 40 bucks30 bucks>This comes out about 4 years too early for the European USB-C directive to have a noticeable effect.Every android and IOS device use USB C nowadays

>>12734867it isn't the issue and neither is "sharpness"you can stop being a strawmanning retard at any point in time
>>12734717a lot of minor but annoying stuff like, sometimes I'll open my Thor and see the "switch apps" screen (the thing that comes up when you swipe up from the bottom) instead of coccoon on the top screen, or sometimes I'll even see the regular Android desktop, even though I have Coccon set as my home app.Sometimes the vibration and sounds that play while you are navigating the grid will stop working and I'll have to reset cocoon for them to come back.Sometimes closing a game will bring me back to the android desktop instead of coccon for no reason, even though, again, coccon is my home app.A lot of little things like that that take me out of the "console-like" experience.
>>12734882So what's the issue faggot?

Imagine a retro handheld device with no buttons. Is all touch screen. Would be revolutionary.
>>12735346This but with the ability to attach a controller to it... Holy shit that would be perfect!
>>12735386
>>12735430Damn chinese stealing ideas again
Watching a stream of the konkr advance and I hate to say it but ayaneo won when it comes to GBA-likes. Best screen and sound
>>12735430NOOOOOOOOOO NOT LIKE THAT NOT LIKE THAT @NINTENDO @FBI UNHIRE THIS MAN
>>12735473I believe it, but is it worth the premium over a 34xxsp?
>>12734883>I'll open my Thor and see the "switch apps" screenNever experienced that one. I do have a problem that I find the game "resetting" it self when I close and open the Thor but this it happens regardless of frontend.>I'll even see the regular Android desktopNever experienced that one before.>Sometimes the vibration and sounds that play while you are navigating the grid will stop working and I'll have to reset cocoon for them to come back.A few versions back I had a bug that made the menu music to max while the system was closed.>Sometimes closing a game will bring me back to the android desktop instead of coccon for no reason, even though, again, coccon is my home app.Don't happen to me>A lot of little things like that that take me out of the "console-like" experience.I bet it does, little things like that can ruin the experience for sure
>>12735524You mean the 34XX right? I mean, aside from being 20% heavier, not having video out and not running Linux, it's much better. However, if you're only looking for GB/GBC/GBA then it's not worth it.
>>12735308I don't know what's worse, the possibility it looks like the Mini v1 for a good (bad) reason or that they decided to announce 4 (four) SKUs with a fucking RK3566 being the first reveal.
>>12735524Hard to say. The better chip and increased ram would be better for anything non-gba and the buttons -seem- better but I can't confirm that until I've held one. I have both it and the new nig SP coming so I'll be able to compare
>>12735591Looks like the first option is a mini zero 28 replacement. Sadly that's not super exciting
All I know is that a general pro controller face button set up looks wrong on GBA and to copy such a specific form factor while modernizing that aspect of it feels kind of like shooting the nostalgic appeal in the foot
>>12735673I'm mostly in it for the x4 interger screen and spice orange color which the 34xx didn't have
>>12735692Why is 4x integer better than 3x integer?
>>12735264Less travel is better for action games you fucking moron. You're so desperate to grasp and straws and cry about shit based on some 5 foot tall jew on YouTube that you're gay for, that you're over here saying shit that doesn't make any sense. Just take the L you literal fag.>>12735608there's no point in playing anything other than gba and wonderswan on 3:2.And since my 34xx manages fast forward, rewind, and shaders just fine, I don't really see the benefit. 34xx also looks more authentic.>>12735673Hard disagree. I use all the extra buttons on mine.
>>12735732Because 4 is higher than 3
>>12735732better look for shaders on a big screen, but you won't notice on these small screens
I had huge buyers remorse on the thor but that changed when I got a grip for it
>>12734042Flip 2 with Rocknix
>>12734042How about the RG34XXSP?
>>12735760Actually I have buyers remorse because of the grip, it works fine but it looks silly when you use it with the TPU case. Also I see a TPU grip on AliExpress and it looks perfect
>>12735770nta but it's only worth getting the RG34XXSP if you can find the 2GB version. stuff like slay the spire requires 1.5GB to run without freezing or crashing.
>>12735753I don't mind the extra buttons, I thought Anbernic had the right idea for a solution there.
For those who've got an RG34XX, how well does the screen hold up outdoors? I'm considering getting one to play GB/A and PSX stuff out on my balcony, but I'm concerned the screen won't be bright enough. For reference, even at max brightness my 2DS is a bit hard to see sometimes.Also how's the battery? I'm concerned it'll crap out after a year or something.
>>12735757Can anyone confirm?
>>12730670why doesn't anyone bring back the gamecube layout
>>12735760I've been using mine with no grip for like 6 months and I don't feel like I need it at all. Just ordered the accessories the other day, but mostly because I want the case. I'm curious to see if it's actually that much more comfortable, but I hate the idea of adding bulky shit to it.
>>12735910Same reason no one brings back N64 or Intellivision or Genesis layouts, PlayStation solved the general controller layout problem. Anything too different just doesn't work.
>>12735810nta but I was unaware of this RAM change.I have two RG34XXSP systems, an indigo one and a metallic blue one bought recently (still boxed).Checking system info in Knulli, looks like my indigo one is 2GB, whilst the metallic blue one is probably 1GB.
>>12730670Seems great, but I don't need it. I don't mind black bars and the image size is the same on my 6" screen, bigger even, because I use widescreen hacks for PS2 and GC.
>>12734756>AIslopWhy would you post that?
it seems the hype has died already for the nova
>>12735937>widescreen hackscringe
>>12735940There never was any to begin with.
>>12735940People are waiting on theirs.Only the reviewers have them now.
>>12735963Not true people were eagerly awaiting to see what became of that mortgage retroid took out to make it after they fumbled the retroid pocket mini
If you want something strong enough to play the gamecube and ps2, you end up with something way larger than your phone. If you want something smaller, you end up with something way less powerful.At this is not just easier to get a controller for your phone? You're gonna be carrying a brick with your phone either way.
>>12735938Since when /hhg/ hate ai?
>>12735982Thor trannies slipping in.
>>12735946Cope faggot.ps2, GameCube, N64, and dreamcast are great in widescreen. I'm sure you could cherry pick an example that doesn't work, but they doesn't invalidate the remaining 99%
>>12735938this is AI gold.Cope eunuch.
>>12735885I've played in bright sun. I just turn my shaders off when I go outside, the blown out saturated colors of the original gba come in handy in that situation.
>>12735982>>12735994But it's not even smaller than the nano. At least make it thumby size.
>>12734612How about you relax and breathe in some gas?>>12734767You need to at least be tri or DREI to keep up with us, boy.
>>12735976Why do poorfags feel then need to open this thread every single day to make the same post about how they can't afford a handheld?Just read the archives if you want an answer to the most obvious and obviously retarded question about emulation handhelds.
>>12735974From what I've seen literally nobody cared about it. People were much more hyped for RP5, RP6 and Thor.
>>12736013>Not wanting to carry a bag is being a poorfagWhat are you, a WOMAN? Do you go out with your Dior or Chanel bag? Do you ask strangers to call you "first lady" of your husband's company?
I'm split between the RGSP and the rotate. And yes, I'm retarded because the answer is obviously the RGSP but I still hesitate
>>12736038The rotate is better unless you only intend to play GBA on it and nothing newer. Even then it might still be better if you prefer Android.
>>12736013Because you keep replying to it. Stop. Get some help.
>>12736046I don't mind black bars so I don't mine de SP screen but I do like android more
>>12735940>>12735963I got what I wanted. You can go trick tourists all day with 16:9 glass front absolutism to your heart's content not-jewey, I don't care.

>>12736097And why is that?
I already got what I wanted, I'm just here to shitpost.
Seriously, how the fuck do people play using a touch screen? I play 10 minutes and I get hands pain for the rest of the day. Do those folks have tiny little muscular baby hands or something? Or some kind of secret hand grip technique only taught to gen Zs zoomers? At least my 35xx doesn't give me carpal tunnel. And not just because I keep forgetting to bring it with me when I go out.
>>12736104This place is like a bar, no one truly satisfied ends up here.
>>12734032>Press a piece of plastic against your screen>Doesn't solve the main issue with touch control which is how cramp it isAt least the buttons feel responsive right? Can't be any worse than haptic feedback.
>>12736123Skill issue
>>12736123It's fine for RPGs. I've beaten Pokemon games using touch controls.
>>12736207You didn't beat the game if you didn't one hand it on the RG Nano
>>12736038I hate my rotate. It cramps my hands, it has no headphone jack, the flip out screen digs into my fingers since they rest on the shoulder buttons. It's just not fun to play on.
Anti-anbernic shills out in full force tonight. Did retroid announce another new unneeded overpriced upgrade to something that's still perfectly fine in its price bracket?
>>12736274Hm? I love Anbernic, and Retroid, and Ayn. Everyone else can eat shit and die though.
>>12736274We love anbernic actually they are the best at replicating existing hardware without getting sued
>>12736281>Hm?Honestly anyone who does this in text outside of ERP should get sat down and given a disappointed speech from their parents and their favorite teacher from high school.
Might just buy the 35xxh
>Switch/deck slopI unironically can't understand why anyone would want that. At least for handhelds that try to imitate a gba or psp, I can understand the idea and appreciate the novelty but the switch and steam deck are too recent.Yes, I like bricks. I like bricks!
>>12736346powchaddy designed this one for you
>>12736350Good slop. I love it and hate it. It looks like a fucking dildo-bong.
>>12736346It's not even so much that they are recent they just look boring as fuck
>>12736357>muh fashion accessoryyou don't play games
>>12736357This one is very heckin unique
>>12736346>>12736357It's about being no bullshit. There's a screen, there's the controller around it. Since we're adults, we don't need it to look like an exciting toy in order to draw us in, we already understand that what's important are the games inside the device that you never play.
>>12736379I do actually but I get tired of the same black tablets after a while. Also you can pretend aesthetics don't matter but part of why the RG SP exists is cause everyone thought the 34XX SP looked retarded with its big forehead and sticks
>>12736381Is that ayn thor
>>12736396Ayn Thor doesn't exist. Ayn Thor can't hurt you.

>>12736595Tbh, I just used my xbox controller because phone controllers are either fucking stupid looking, dangerous for the usb port or kinda crap.>>12736598Anon, the ps2 and gamecube are older than the nes was when the ps3 was released. That boat has sailed, now the question is if the ps3 and xbox 360 are retro consoles yet.
>>12736598>ps2>not retroIt has been retro for years, retard.
>>12736598THE POWER OF APPEAL TO AUTHORITY COMPELS YOU!>>11702620>The Microsoft Xbox, Nintendo GameCube, Nintendo Game Boy Advance, and Sony PlayStation 2 will now be considered "retro".
>>12736597Or, get this, I'd get something that fits easily into my pocket, you dipshit piece of trash.
>>12736683Yeah, that's called a phone you fucking baboon. All the piece of shit switch-like handhelds are too big to fit in your pocket. Literally the smallest I can find on retrocatalog is still about 30% bigger than my comically large samsung galaxy.
That's a lot less than I was expecting.I think I'm getting this instead of RG SP.
>>12736598They were retro as soon as they released since someday the PS5 was going to exist.
>>12736701Yeah my RP4P is really pushing the limits of my pockets even though it's the same size of my phone because you have no idea what you're talking about
>>12736783>Same size of my phoneBro, it's 184mm. Are you walking around in hobo, sorry, cargo pants?
>>12736793I wear normal jeans, I don't know what shallow end kiddie pool pockets you've got but my pants fit my devices just fine.
>>12736731What's the dpad like?
>>12736731Honestly I think it's the better option based on what I've seen of it on the sharing streams. The loud stereo speakers alone mog the mono one these things tend to use. Sure its less authentic to GBA cosmetically but it feels like an evolution of it
>>12736731>give cpu powerful enough for gamecube but no sticksFor wut purpose.
>>12736731Why? Buying this makes no sense. Any of the RG XX gameboy clones are a better purchase. This thing is only better in overall power, but it is incapable of playing systems which need that power since it has no analog sticks. Buying this would make sense if it at least had a single analog stick instead of those two buttons in the bottom left.

>>12736916ive come to the conclusion that mgba is inefficient as fuck on arm.That being said on muos just set the governer to performance and as long as you're not using a crazy shader stack or run-ahead you'll be fine
>>12736987yes
>>12736615that's not what retro means

>>127371463:2 is superior
>>12737140I think it helps alot of pc games in general support 3:2. Powcunny's gamemt ex8 is surprisingly good for skyrim and fallout 3>>12737146Just get the miyoo flop if you need sticks
>>12737146>original gbaWas not specified. If that's what you want then the other anon is correct. It's literally just a horizontal handheld. The shape is too shit for analog sticks. You're better off getting literally any other 3:2 or 4:3 horizontal handheld.
>>12737146>also fuck the 34xxsp for being 3:2I thought you wanted a gba clone

GBA, GBA SP, and Micro all suck dick. Get an original DS
>>12736976Transalones are cringe, I'm not downloading 50 apps to do what RA does just fine on its own. There's literally no reason to use anything but RA outside of fringe cases.

>>12737176>gba means gba.GBA means any of the official GBA versions. GBA is just the internals and has been ever since other variants were released.>sp means spCorrect, which is why specification is required in communication. "Original GBA", "GBA SP" and "GBA Micro / GB Micro". If you just say "GBA" then it's safe to assume you're talking about all of them.
>>12737138>the most popular gamesThe only thing gayer than SA3 is the Extreme Mansex version
>>12737185The only reason I can think to use original hardware for GBA at this point is link cable shit, and the DS doesn't support it.

>>12737770Eww.
>>12737774I know the one 35 have 2 shoulders to the side (if you are using Tate mode) maybe you can map L3 and R3 there
>>12737540Tranny purple is gbc genx/millennial color. Anbernig's the only chink company that gets it right so you want tranny black. Which looks good from all companies>>12737593Konkr will be more comfy, but worse dpad.
Why isn't Famicom style used as a color option in handhelds anymore?It's one of the main reasons people loved this thing. It's so nice looking?
The only good Nova color is black. Bright colors are for Reddit
>>12737798Millennials and Gen-X get black(ed) or Sega Saturn colors. Purple is more of a zoomer thing, per my understanding.
>>12737860Yeah, protozoomers' first console was an N64. Zoomers was the PS2/GCN/Xbox.
>>12737858>Redditor >Loves shittedImagine my shock
>>12737540Black is great especially because it has no shittle buttons, goes great with nearly all buttons.GC would be good if you could neuter the shittles, but that's not possible here.16-bit is great, if lacking a bit of dark grey on the shoulders to offset that tan. DMG buttons as alternative.Crystal looks okay, but will yellow out.Ice Blue looks okay, if you don't mind it being green.Watermelon looks great, but I don't like staring at red handhelds.No Atomic Purple has ever looked right.All transparent versions require you to buy matte buttons.
>>12737878>All transparent versions require you to buy matte buttons.Basically this, if you dont want your fingers to swell and the skin to break against the sharp edges of the original buttons.
>>12737884Nah, I just loathe glossy crap, it has no business being on any handheld or controller and should be punishable by death sentence.
>>12737889you dont have to act tough and impervious to sharp stabs of pain, the buttons are a hazard.

My Pocket 6 came in a few days back. I haven't had much chance to mess with it but it is pretty fun.Also since we are bitching about color waves I want more stuff in the SNES controller colors.
>>12737943It's more like reverse burn in? Yes. The pixels are off, but that means you have uneven wear and tear.
>>12737417Like two or more weeks

You know, I used to mock jewey for pretending to be retarded but at this point I think he might be genuinely mentally ill. Harping about 4:3 being a specialized aspect ratio while showing a 3DS clone (that isn't even the right AR on either screens) is the sort of thing anyone remotely normal would stop and reconsider as going too far with a bit, but he went and did it anyway, with that coy-smug video essayist redditor cadence like he just delivered you this massive revelation, this irrefutable church destroying argument, and he actually believes it. To say nothing of the size comparisons to a fucking O2P. What an airtight discord server does to an autistic motherfucker.

ARMSX2 just fucked me, kinda.PSA: If you leave your device suspended for a bit it'll restart the game. I didn't lose much progress, only like 15 minutes, so I'm glad I found out this way.I'm on a Thor Pro so I doubt it's RAM related, no clue why it did that.Aside from that it seems like it's already pretty much on par with NSX2 from what I've been playing for the past few days.
>>12738342Forgot to add that I left the device suspended for like an hour, if it's just a couple minutes it doesn't happen, which is why I hadn't noticed it yet.
>>12737657Rape Escape is overrated.
>>12738342Welcome to Android. This is called "battery saving". Unused apps tend to be cleared out after 15-30 minutes. You have to whitelist each individual app from being killed in background and hope Android listens to you.
>>12738342>>12738348Yuzu and RA playing Saturn or N64 is similar, if you put the device in sleep sometimes it will just force close the game for no reason
>>12733587how fast tho... Snapdragon 860 fast?
>>12733587Damn that's crazy, think of all the title screens that might almost fully load before the game crashes!
>>12738342Personally it refuses to work with my controllers and decided that my L2 and R2 were actually my right stick Up and left, also my right and left stick are apparently my right stick's up. Left stick works in game, right stick doesn't and eventually after a few minutes, right stick right become stuck even when I don't press anything. What's even more bizarre is that it does that to my 3 xbox controllers and on all my devices, exactly the same way.
>>12738506i had a similar issue with cuckstation on pc, for some reason it would register each input from my pad as being a combined input from THREE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT INPUT PARADIGMS AT THE SAME TIME: dinput xinput and some other fucking shit that i have no idea what the fuck it's even supposed to bedeleted that trash ass emulator and went back to epsxe so fucking fast
>>12738342>>12738587reminds me of when i got permanently banned from the odin and android emulation subreddits because dolphin didn't pick up my d pad and c stick. that's why i hate reddit.
>>12738623The nice thing about reddit is you can use a different email to make a new account so you can fuck off and never return here.
>>12738628the nice thing about 4chan is that i won't get banned for telling you to suck my entire cock.

>>12738251KEKThat is literally Chewey, tho.
>>12737339what game has this ever effected you in? I beat all 4 mega Man zero games and never noticed. those are the hardest games for GBA. This is not a fighting game device.
What should I get if I want to play the entire ps2 library smoothly at the cheapest cost? Like the cheapest device where I can get max fps on every ps2 game. Idgaf about anything else. Form factor, bells and whistles, I just want a portable ps2. What should I get?
>>12738763Retroid Pocket 4 Pro and RP5 will play 95% of the PS2 library full speed at 720p.
>>12738759>those are the hardest games for GBAI can easily debunk this unless you mean hard mode specifically. My evidence is that I suck at games but I beat all the MMZ games.
>>12738763>smoothlyA PC. But RP4P like anon said is the cheapest option. No you will not get every single game at max even at just 1x res but it plays gen 6 admirably along with some Switch and Wii, as well as being a decent android games device. Stinkers include Nightshade which is unplayably slow and Xenosaga 3 which stutters a bit and has some crushed sound effects. RP5 is a bit better at least but of course costs more.
>>12738776So what's harder then? I also beat contra 3 on it. Haven't done Makaimura 3 I guess, but that's slower paced.
>>1273733934xx has an overall good feeling dpad but the performance is hampered by a pivot thats too short and bad contact shape. I posted the fix earlier ITT.You can fix performance but you cannot fix the shape or feel of a dpad. Those flat dogshit pads that most chink companies use have no hope of redemption

Is the Retroid Pocket Classic the best Gameboy/GBC/WS handheld?
>>12739046by what metricalso no, not by any metric you can cook up
>>12738763Bad news, you're fuck out of luck. They're all bulky or expensive, often both. You won't find one that can run 70% of ps2 games for less than $200. The pocket 4 pro that was mentioned can run only vaguely 70% of ps2 games and sadly a ton of good games are in the 30% it can't run acceptably (or at all). If you gonna spent $300 for a handheld to play ps2 games, you may as well just buy a mid-range phone with a bluetooth controller, it will likely cost you less than that and be easier to carry. Or just straight up a cheap laptop since you gonna be carrying a bag either way.There is just no way around it. Handheld companies simply don't have the resources to compete with phone companies at that power scale. They can compete on lower scales like the ps1.Ps2 emulation is still fairly young.
it isn't even like there's more than a handful of games on ps2 worth playing anyways
>>12739061Okay, then what is? >by what metricThe metrics I care about are comfort, portability, screen (as close to OG aspect ratio), battery life, and price in that order, with the first three sharing equal weightage
and pissniggerstation 2 is a million years past the retro category, and a million and one years fully into the modern category, so

>>12739071>>12739107Nothing before gen 6 is even remotely relevant
>>12739071You can say the same about quite literally every single console. Having played hundreds of games from each of the gen1-gen5 consoles, 95% of the games suck ass on each of them. Literal unplayable dogshit on the level of a random ass Flash Player game from 2005.
>>12739118whatever the fuck "gen 6" is isn't retro, so, no.
>>12739121>muh gen gen gen gen gen gen gen gen gen gencan you zoomer niggers speak english? for once?

>>12738342I've switched back to nsx2, it's painless to swap from one to the other. I had armsx2 freeze several times and NFS:MW had significantly more slowdowns than in nsx2.
>>12739046No because WonderSwan runs at 75hz refresh rate which the pocket can't do
>>12737403>Shill it to me. Knulli sucks dick. Yea, tried Knulli on my Brick, noticeably slower than MuOS. I don't know anything about GammaOS on Trimui, I've only installed it on my RG505, which came stock with Android. Have no idea how a Lineage-derived OS would work on the Brick.
whats the point of ownign all these handhelds when you're just gonna die anyway
>>12739279are you drunk?
>>12739046>>12739175Wonderswan is also a 14:9 system. So between the aspect ratio and refresh rate, probably the best fit for that is the RG34XX. Except for Tate mode games, for which you'd be better off looking elsewhere. Unless you're willing to use Start and Select as your face buttons because you're a crazy person.

Why does PS1/N64/Saturn and under look better at native res with a crt shader, but PS2/GC/Dreamcast look better upscaled with no shader?You know what I mean?
>>12740540Well, those later systems had higher fidelity graphics and can get away with being upscaled without sacrificing much image quality. For Dreamcast specifically it already had native VGA output meaning you could get a clean sharp look even back then. In my personal opinion though PS2 games look like shit when not played on a CRT or smaller screen. Lots of jaggies and blurry textures
>>12740540All 3D games look better upscaled. You need a shader N64 though because the textures are fucking ugly. PS1 you can take it or leave it.
>>12740540none of those are retro, so, i don't care, go ask reddit
>>12740571>jaggiesemulating at a higher native res gets rid of that.

Anyone who has a Thor, what exactly is the experience with the thermals/fan for idle and DS/3DS play?Asking because where I try to look I find people generally seem to have the fan active at all times - and also because they take up the bottom screen nobody has their performance metrics visible for them.It confuses me because I have a phone with the same Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 chip, and it stays completely cool to the touch for DS emulation and gets warmer for higher internal resolution 3DS play - but still never gets actually hot like other demanding android apps would quickly do to it.I want one, but not if the thermals are somehow shit enough to require fan noise or a heat situation for DS/3DS.
>>12740669Nta and I don't own one but it's probably pretty bad

>>12740698Did you try not using your OnePlus charger that fully charges a phone in literally 15 minutes?
>>12740692If we're going PC, it's a larger screen that will 'taco' fold around itself to make it a pocketable mini laptop.Bi-fold Clamshell™ I believe it's called..
>>12740540This depends on the game and your taste. A lot of PS1-era games were deliberately designed with the idea that they'll run on a CRT display, so they'd look better with shaders. But I absolutely disagree N64 looks better at native res considering it upscales nicely compared to PS1 which has polygon artifacting.
>>12740654you don't even play games
