first for magicx
I should be getting my RP Nova sometime this week...I just wanna play already...
>>12792227>golly bill! TWO d-pads?I understand not everything is for everyone, but for what purpose is this?
>>12792270rotate for vertical play, there's some shitty triggers too
>>12792230Mine is this or next week.I'm gonna try playing Mega Man Network Transmission on it. I tried it on my Ayaneo Pocket Air but that thing would freeze at random, not viable. I didn't love the Air, the buttons felt wrong to me so I'll end up rehoming it.
>>12792225Should I get the onexplayer3?
there was a guy a thread or two ago who wanted to know if there were any firmwares that let you boot into a rom. If you're still here I have good and bad news - good news there is! Bad news is that its PlumOS for the V90S, which is a bit crap
Bought a nova, still enjoying my miyoo flip v2 for now. Been chillin on the couch playing shadow tower today.
>>12792230Same. Mine has been sitting at a USPS sorting facility since Saturday with no movement. I swear, if they lose this after waiting so long for it to shit, gonna be pissed.
chang can you make the rg ds again but with a wide top screen? I would like to be able to play psp and 3ds and ds on a handheld that has rocknix support and isn't priced silly. it's a simple request
Russ might be the only handheld enjoyer who plays games.
>>12792563Y-yeah just don't look at his list of favorite games
Has anyone found a way to fix the overheating rg 40xx battery yet?
>>12792560>isn't priced sillyror. rmao even
>>12792387>Work?
>>12792274That's interesting and I admire the utility and functionality but it seems like that would be a bitch to hold it in that position.
Reposting my question from the last thread: have there been any tests on the difference in latency between the RP6 and the Nova? I’m not extremely sensitive to lag but I would like to minimize it as much as possible, and supposedly the Nova has better latency due to being native landscape.
>All for $89Gameboy is still the best handheld.
>>12792590Russ tested in his review.It has like 6-8ms less input lag than any other handheld.
>>12792601Buy an ad faggot
>>12792514You better hope it shows up this week because it's labor day weekend.
>>12792601I watched his review and this isn’t true, it was roughly 25-30ms better than the other handhelds he tested. But he didn’t test it against the RP6, which is the info I’m looking for. If it really is just a few ms of difference between the RP6 and the Nova then I’ll go for the RP6 since I like the form factor better, but I want to confirm that before I buy.
>>12792560You ask about very high-level emulation.The price will be "silly". RG DS barely could handle DS properly and only because custom firmware scene stepped in.
>>127926733ds and psp are not very high-level emulation
Offtopic, but there’s no other support general. I need a controller to play NES games on my Wii. Any suggestions?
>>12792227Ayaneo Micro (Classic) is better.
>>12792707The nes classic controller, they can plug into the wiimote
>>12792707
>>12792721It definitely is in terms of build quality I would assume, but there's also a huge cost trade off and I have no clue if Ayaneo even sells the Pocket Micro anymore. I pulled the trigger on a One35 and I'm going to see how it fares due to using the same screen.
techdweeb lost
Hello friends I have a problem, I bought a BatleXP G350 on day one, it's my first and only Handheld and I play it a ton but I need a new handheld the fact that this doesn’t have wifi is pissing me off and the buttons start to dig in to my fingers after a few hours, what I'm looking for: Must have>Wifi>good buttons for long playtimeScreenI love the quality G350 Screen >so nothing less than thatBuild >sturdy, I play it every dayGames>no need for Dreamcast, saturn, Ps1, PSP>If it can play up to N64 and everything under it would be greatPrice>Like the G350 something under 60 bottlecapstldr: I need the best handheld to play games up to N64 to replace my pic related
>>12792981>no need for Dreamcast, saturn, Ps1, PSP>If it can play up to N64 and everything under it would be greatN64 is an inherently difficult system to emulate. If a device can emulate N64 then it can perfectly emulate PS1, Dreamcast, NDS and most of the PSP library.>Price>Like the G350 something under 60 bottlecapsI don't think there's a single handheld at that price point that can emulate N64 without relying on a bunch of speedhacks and frameskips. The cheapest N64-capable devices would be:>Helegaly Action Pi>Mangmi Air Y and X>MagicX One 35>GAMEMT E6 Max>AYANEO Pocket Air Miniand a few without analog sticks>KONKR Pocket Advance>Anbernic RG RotateIf you're dead-set on N64 for under $60 then your only solution is either the used/refurbished market, or buying a wired telescopic controller and using one of your older smartphones that you hopefully didn't throw away.
>>12792771>>12792773Thanks for the responses. There should really be a general help thread.
My Ayn Thor should ship in a couple weeks..... How bad did I fuck up? Be honest.
>>12793009I'd be worried about those hinges. Still don't trust the hinges on these devices when even Nintendo systems will crack.
>>12793005Buy the blueretro GC dongle, it plugs into your Wii unless you have a late model which lacks the GC controller ports. You can then pair any Bluetooth controller to it you want. I use it with a SNES style BT controller.
>>12793013These things are immensely popular and no breakages reported in a year, no? That's got to be a good sign. If they would start breaking en masse in 2 years I think people would sell kits to fix it or whatever.
>>12792996thanks for the info, the G350 is under 60 and runs Dreamcast and ps1 thats why I assumed it was no problem to find another under 60
>>12793047Finding a cheap PS1-capable machine isn't difficult since PS1 is easy to emulate. It's the N64 that is an issue.Your G350 itself can't even play most of the N64 library without speedhacks and frameskips, or without using emulation cores that have speedhacks built into them. It also doesn't run Dreamcast well either. If you're saying it does that means you're either knowingly or unknowingly using speedhacks or inaccurate cores that have speedhacks in them, or you're playing the most lightweight games on the system. In which case you'll be fine on any of the H700 Anbernic devices (they're $60-$80), or the MINILOONG Pocket 1 as a slightly better option.But for actual, non-hacky N64 emulation, the cheapest option would be the Helegaly Action Pi ($60-$70) which is no longer being sold.
>>12793065>Anbernic RG Rotateshould I stretch my budget to 100? what would you buy personally? I play my handheld every day for hours, I'm not a collector I actually use it.
WE ARE SAVED
>>12793079>I play my handheld every day for hours, I'm not a collector I actually use it.Same.>what would you buy personally?For N64 emulation I'd buy anything that has an analog stick (so, no to RG Rotate) and I'd look for stuff in the $90-$160 range. Out of the shit I listed I guess the answer is:>Mangmi Air XOnly because I dislike vertical handhelds. The Mangmi Air X is capable of N64 emulation at 2x resolution and it has glossy, rounded buttons which would hopefully solve the issue you're describing here >>12792981 (g350 seems to have sharper buttons).If you're into vertical handhelds, Mangmi Air Y is the same thing as the Air-X, just in a vertical form factor. However, from what I've seen it has slightly "sharper-edged" buttons so it might not solve your button issue.>>12793097I doubt this will affect the price of lower end RAM.
>>12793125>>Mangmi Air XI was looking at all the options and before your replay I was already leaning to the Mangmi Air X and the MagicX One 35, you just confirmed my hunch.Thanks
>>12793132I'm also looking at that one, but why does it have to have vibration motors? That is such a silly gimmick and I never really liked it, all the way back to the ps1 dual shock days.
>>12792707I use a gamecube controller to play NES on the wii, I just never liked the wiimote but the classic controller that plugs into it works good enough. Still, I use a gamecube controller because it's wired and no batteries needed. There is a little trap door on your wii hiding the ports just incase you were unaware like I was for years.
>>12793135Same, since the Ps1 era the first thing I do when starting a game is to turn off vibration.I remembering not playing Need For Speed on the Xbox one because you could not turn off vibration and at that time there was no option on the xbox itself to turn it off.
>>12793146I will admit that when the dogs jumped through the windows in RE1 and the controller vibrated it scared the shit out of me and cemented that game in my mind as some of the peak survival horror.
>>12793065Thank you for saying this, the g350 seems so retarded to even have analog sticks at all for how weak it is. Truly the definition of chink scam crap.
The rotate is a performative device, you will not change my mind.>2,000mah on IPSNeed I say more?
>>12792707/vg/ has a thread specifically for shit like this
>>12792707This one is okay.
patiently waiting for ps3
I think the RG DS is really cute and apparently everything is fixed with the latest rocknix but I'm not a brokie and I can't justify getting it when the thor exists
>>12793097I love reading this articles every 6 months while the prices keep increasing.
>>12793294you have to wait 6 months for a thor to arrive that's a good reason
>>12793352Chinese RAM isn't priced lower, that's the thing. They're charging just as much as Korea and America.
>>12793294RGDS is a budget option and the recent GammaOS CFW update apparently makes it really good.But you are getting it specifically for DS games, not 3DS, and not much else.
>>12792981This is a weird time where there isn't anything substantially better than the 3326 that's also below $100.Honest advice is to either save for an RP6 or buy an RP5 when they go on sale on AliExpress. They can drop to like $130 sometimesA lot of the N64 recomps work well on the 3326 btw
>>12793017>These things are immensely popular and no breakages reported in a year, no?
>>12792387When are AMD going to put out their next gen APUs so we get a clear bump over the Steam Deck without paying overly stupid money?
>>12793530Even when that comes out, we'll still end up having to pay an arm and a leg for it due to the severe RAM and storage crisis.
>>12793434I thought this was a gun from the thumbnail.>Burger moment
>>12793265Those have been out for a long time, make sure you get one with backwards compatibility so you can play ps1 and ps2 games
>>12793434Still waiting for my Thor to crack.
>>12793412My biggest problem is that the 2.5x DS scale on the RG DS doesn't allow for a shader like lcd1x and you're stuck with a shitty HQ2x image blurrily upscaled another 0.5x
Any chance of anything bettering the Magni Air x at the same price any time soon? Hassle free Gamecube in a handheld cheap enough to not worry about taking on holiday is the dream.
>>12793561The verb you're looking for is "besting", ESL-kun
>>12793561>Any chance of anything bettering the Magni Air x at the same price any time soon?Probably, considering we already have handhelds that perform better in that price range.>RG VitaIt has a strictly better SoC in terms of raw performance. Emulation with Mali GPUs is getting better these days.>Konkr Pocket AdvanceMuch better than both the Air X and Vita, but lacks analog sticks.>Pocket Air MiniHas the same SoC as the KPA, making it the best choice since it has analog sticks. But good luck finding it at the original price. If you didn't buy one months ago, then you're not getting it for $100/120€ as it's no longer in production.
Konkr bros they delayed shipping until September 10th...
>>12793615I ordered the gay version which was supposed to be shipped last. Is that one also delayed?
>>12793624That one wasn't supposed to ship until the end of september anyways so shouldn't be affected
>>12793593isnt the difference between those really miniscule in terms of real world capabilities?
>>12793658This is how the English language works. "Bettering something" means to improve it. "Besting something" means being better than it.
Reminder: Do NOT buy Anbernic. If you actually use them instead of letting them collect dust on a shelf they will break apart within a year.
>>12793664>>12793658This is a Chinese website, stop speaking English.
>>12793658no, ESL retard, bettering something means TO MAKE THAT SPECIFIC THING BETTER, beating something means /either/ TO HIT THAT SPECIFIC THING ///OR/// TO BE SUPERIOR TO THAT SPECIFIC THINGlearn fucking english before posting on this website, you ESL dipshit fucktard
>>12793681no need so angry señor
>>12793670That more accurately applies to all chinkshit (and not just chinkhelds either), but Anbernig seems to fall apart the fastest.
what's the best windows emulator these days for Odin 2 or RP6?
>>12793681Well, I'm sure if anyone could come up with an example of common usage that proves your definition is wrong then they'd have the better of you.
>>12793710>mixing up a verb and a nounYup, an ESL retard
>>12793708On Windows you can't emulate the Odin 2 or the RP6 specifically, but you can download a generic Android emulator.
>>12793708GameNative
>>12793294>>12793412As someone who just bought an RG DS because of the recent videos covering it Rocknix didn't fix everything, you're confusing it with GammaOS Nano. Rocknix still has most of the same issues present before it's just that now it has access to Seedless as the emulator of choice which is far more usable on lower end devices. It still has latency issues.Even with GammaOS Nano the problem is that>The capacitive touch screen is still a capacitive touch screen so it feels like ass to use seriously on games that expected a resistive one>Rhythm games are 100% unplayable.Tried EBA, Ouendan, Rhythm Heaven, and Taiko. They're all off no matter the audio delay and there's noticeable input latency when doing quick inputs on them as I am missing notes I don't miss on an actual DS in Taiko. I couldn't even pass Built to Scale on Rhythm Heaven which I can perfect with my eyes closed because of the touch screen + latency.>They force full screening the games meaning no integer scaling and upscaling is mandatory.>You can't take screenshots on the device at all.This is something I do religiously both because of memory issues and because I want stuff to post on occasion. The dev actually completely disabled the Android side from allowing the command to capture the screens at all so even if you bind it to a button it just doesn't work.>You can only access the GammaOS menu via the menu button, the stiff RG DS button that the stock Android firmware uses is unused for no real reason when it could easily be used for another hotkey, screenshotting, or bringing up the native DraStic menu.>The frontend menu he's using (The DSi one) doesn't let you sort games at all, doesn't let you use folders, and any categories you make can't be sorted either. This means that everything is out of order as you favorite it or categorize it.>I can't even figure out how to get DSi games to work on the thing at all.>Plastic is the cheapest plastic you have ever held in your life.
>>12793779Is the plastic that bad? The plastic on my metallic blue 34XXSP is really good.
>>12793794This is the only Anbernic device I own that actually doesn't feel remotely premium at all. You see those SNES-style buttons? I had to put them in myself so that meant opening it up. Just using a guitar pick to lightly unlatch the snaps and twist it a bit open caused the plastic to deform and bend on the sides so now I have some plastic that is just lifted up a bit or not even like it was before I did this which has never happened on my RG35XX-SP or RG34XX. The entire system is matte (Apparently they've started to use a glossy top or something on some colors?) which makes it feel even cheaper than it should. I personally feel like the TrimUI Smart Pro feels like cheap plastic that could break at a moment's notice, and while I don't feel like the RG DS will break at a moment's notice the plastic itself feels even cheaper than the TSP when I used it.The buttons are fine outside of the shoulders which are loud as hell, and actually using the d-pad or the buttons is fine. The only crappy button there is the Anbernic button at the bottom-left, that thing cannot be pushed in at all yet registers as being pushed when you lightly press it at all in stock OS. The Vita sticks shouldn't have been added, it's a complete waste and they could have easily shrunk the device as a result. As it is now it's larger than my N3DS with a grip attached.
>>12793807Why would you buy a ds clone if you already own a 3ds?
>>12793812Not him but the 3DS scales DS like absolute shit, it's 1.5x scale and blurry as fuck
>>12793807That fucking sucks, makes me glad I picked the thor instead. I really almost went for the RG DS because the 34XXSP is so good.
>>12793694ENGLISH, MOTHERFUCKER, LEARN IT
>>12793812I wanted to take advantage of upscaling which MMSF in particular looks amazing with.The ability to screenshot stuff without the system hitching. I tried this initially with Star Force DX on my O3DS and every screenshot caused a hitch and it could only take a screenshot of one screen if I remember right. There was also the potential of crashing.I don't know if you've used DS emulation on the 3DS but it's not exactly great. It's super blurry and if you integer scale it looks like a postage stamp.The ability to very easily swap out saves or back them up. It's obviously easy to do this with a flashcart but then I miss out on the emulator bonuses doing it this way.I occasionally (I.e. rarely) like to go or some RetroAchievement sets so I wanted something I could once in a while do that in. I don't much care for the site but it sometimes has fun lists I like to do.
Question: Can i use a PS5 Dualsense wired with an USB-C cable on the ROG Xbox Ally X and emulate a bunch of old consoles? I read a lot online that people have problem with Bluetooth
>>12793880>Question:Why do millennials think that everything is a sketch from The Office?
I bought the 476h instead of the Nova, no regrets since I play ps2 widescreen
>>12793812Did you try playing DS games on it? The scaling makes them look like utter shit. I got a DSiXL specifically for DS games, and they look amazing.
>>12793943DSi XL screens look like shit compared to OLED.
>>12793408Why wouldn't they? Which is why I laugh every time someone posts an article about China saving the market when the reality is ram is preallocated before it's even produced.
>>12793941I play your mom widepeen
>>12793967Your DS games are going to look like shit on a 3DS OLED. The screens are not the problem.

>>12794032They'll look vastly better with integer scaling, or hell even non-integer scaling with enough DPI to run decent shaders.
>>12794163At the very least, a x.5 times scale is preferable over any other non-integer scale.Scaling algorithms are a lot kinder to even divisions.
I wish the RG Vita got the CPU of the RG55G1.Price it at around 120 dollars and it would have sold like hotcakes.
Has anyone done any latency tests on the Retroid Pocket 6?

I ordered my RP Nova a month ago, the confirmation says they will email me when it ships, still no email.Is this normal? Have you guys gotten a notification email yet saying yours has shipped?
12gb Nova arrives today. This thing is sweet. Definitely my favorite Chinese handheld.
>>12794441I just got my shipping email a few days ago, about a month after I ordered it. It's a popular handheld, they're probably just catching up on orders.
>>12794458How are the ergonomics for 3D stick games? I'm torn on it because of the dpad top design, I mostly want to play Gamecube and PS2 on it.
>>12794486Thank, Anon.
>*fixes ur hing*
should I just buy a thor lite? I want 3ds and ds and psp, maybe ps2 but its not a dealbreaker if it can't
>>12794490Still setting it up, but I really like how it feels. I added the bump back to it. I expect I'll really like this.
>>12794527Clamshell should only be for cheap devices. Thor Max is a terrible investment in the medium term, losing $60 bucks hurts less than $600.
It's like all the companies stopped putting the analog on top with 4:3 handhelds, almost all chinkhelds dpads feel like shit, fuck this gay earth
>>12794545Ive been loving mine.
Fellow ‘heldies, bear with me:I’ve been going through a rough spot since being laid off in February. I’ve finally gotten some worthwhile freelance gigs and I feel like treating myself a bit. In b4 you say “get a Nova”, I’m not willing to splurge that much just yet. My picks may be idiotic, but I’ve been gravitating towards the>Rotate; pocketability plus I find it’s gimmick very endearing> 40XXH; minor upgrade to my well worn 35XXHFeel free to point and laugh, but if you have some genuine thoughts on these, that’d would be pretty coo’ too.
oh no no no.. what did ambernig do to anger the RussGod? does the back shell leave too many fingerprints?
New to handhelds, what should I do to prepare for my Nova coming in? Download ROMs and BIOs and organize them in folders - what else?
>>12794585IIRC the thing that turned him off was that the performance was not great even with Turnip drivers. The ones Anbernic supplied were on par with GameNative, just an extra frame or two, while the ones supplied by GammaOS provided a 5-10 FPS boost but it still isn't enough for full speed on some PS2/GC/Wii U/Switch games, just 2x res on very basic games like GTA3 and 1x for the rest at best. At most it can handle Vita at native res with a bit of slowdown in Uncharted and that's it. I think he also unfavorably compared it to the RP5 because the 8gb model is close enough in price to it.
>>12794571I know this sounds hyperbolic, but it really feels like the system I dreamed of as a kid. As nice as the Steam Deck is, it's huge. The Nova is the perfect size to play pretty much anything. I also don't think 16:9 looks bad on this. The screen is a good size.
Has anyone's purple nova shipped yet? My watermelon that I ordered like 3 days ago is currently sitting in China
>>12794602Start with that. It'll be much easier to do the rest of the setup once you get it. Expect that it'll take you a long time. I've been doing this all day. We'll probably do it all day tomorrow too.
>>12794602Look into which frontend you want to use. The default ones all suck in comparison to ES-DE, Cannoli, and even Cocoon.Android is, unfortunately, more difficult and annoying to set up for gaming compared to Linux.

>>12794847It is getting better, yes. At least on Android and Linux.
>>12794732...Starting with the 6th gen. Ps1 looks like shit and looks best when it looks like shit. >>12794794>the kind of fag who gets these devices exclusively for non-retro emulationSo chinks? Aka, non retards? Because for retro, you only need the 3566.
>>12794731I think a mild upscale like 2x works best. More than that and the flaws in the original assets become too obvious.

>>12793294>>12793779>tfw just ordered an RG DS before coming to 4chan about itIn my defense I can't fathom paying nearly the same for a DSI XL and it's becoming legitimately hard to play on my old 3DS when the screen is so small.
>>12795001>Retroondittor calling other chinkhelds e-waste
>>12794731In fairness there are plenty of games from the 6th console generation and onwards that visually benefit from a higher internal resolution, whether they have high levels of detail like D-2 or Silent Hill 3 or something more stylized like Viewtiful Joe, Wind Waker or Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles. I definitely agree on it being pointless for 5th gen console games tho, especially since there's still plenty of sprite based ones or games that rely on pre-rendered elements.
>>12794994I know but everybody said wait as it might have issues or better options might come out and so I did and now it has massive wait times and costs way more. I am considering buying it still but maybe I'll continue to wait
>>12795061The writing was on the wall back then with the RAM crisis.
>>12794356So, no? I refuse to buy it without confirmation that it isn’t a laggy piece of shit.
>>12794605>Has anyone's purple nova shipped yet?Mine did, 12GB version ordered in the first few minutes back in June. It was just cleared to leave China today.If it doesn't get here by Saturday I won't be able to set it up for about a month, so here's hoping. I really thought a day one order would have been quicker.
>>12795001probably because it has a larger screen and different ergos and buttons and is thus by definition an upgrade, you retarded anbernic derangement syndrome suffering retroon shill
Are there any handhelds with good srgb color accuracy screens?
>>12794609I'm using Cocoon as my frontend. It's free and feels like 3DS-era official Nintendo software.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=arFZ7zunPiU
>>12794032>3DS OLEDwhat are you talking about
>>12794441Yes, you'll get an email when it ships.The subject line will look like "A shipment from order #HQ-M0000000 is on the way".If your order has that "Worry-Free Purchase" thing in it you'll probably get two separate emails.If you paid using Paypal you'll likely also an email with subject line "Your 深圳市驰晶科技有限公司 order is on its way" (Shenzhen Chijing Technology Co., Ltd.), both will have tracking numbers.I ordered my Nova(s) July 28th and got my shipping confirmation on August 31st, so it took 33 days. It's all subject to what model(s) you ordered, and what accessories you added, but the 12GB models seem to have prioritised fulfilment checking their delivery dashboard.https://www.goretroid.com/en-gb/pages/delivery-dashboard

anon, I just want to play some ps1 and ps2 jrpgs in my bed. RP6? whats the best setup these days RJNY/Obtainium-Emulation-Pack?
What's the point of a 4:3 system when widescreen patches exist?
>>12795432what's the point of your tight asshole when my wide dick exists
>>12795432UI gets stretched, framebuffer effects break and things that were supposed to be off-screen pop into existence on the edges.What's the point of glass front when plastic chinkhelds exist?
>>12795432PS1/N64 widescreen is shit because the games are programmed to unload assets or actors as your camera turns. In 16:9 mode you'll see things actively despawning or getting paused, or you'll see black cutouts in the edges of the screen as textures unload. This even happens in games that have dedicated 16:9 patches rather than relying on the emulator 16:9 simulation.These games just aren't made for 16:9 and the only correct way to force them to be 16:9 is by decompiling them and rebuilding them from source.The only "16:9" that "works" is stretching the image, which is just you playing 4:3 content and coping it's 16:9.
>>12795432Ergonomics and the 99% of content that doesn't have widescreen.Also you can still play widescreen stuff with letterboxing, or when docked.
>>12795432Widescreen handhelds feel like shit to hold. There's a reason controllers aren't made that wide.
>>12795481Agreed. The switch lite is about as far as I'd like to go physically. I've held a steam deck and used it for a few minutes and while it is indeed amazing to have that level of tech in your hands, it's far too bulky and big.
>>12795432There are a few reasons for me:>Device Size4:3 handhelds are smaller, lighter, and often more ergonomic.>Screen SizeNot just black bars, but overall size. A 6" 16:9 feels gigantic for GBA, for example. The Nova renders a perfectly comfy size for PS2 backwards, including PSP.>No HacksI've done widescreen hacks before and have mixed feelings. Sometimes they work flawlessly, sometimes they don't work or stretch elements. A 4:3 handheld lets you ignore all of that while still using the entire screen.Also, I imagine for many of us the Nova isn't our only handheld. I have an Odin 2 Portal for example, so my big 16:9 needs are already covered. I want something smaller for pure retro use. I can grab the Odin if I'm doing PC streaming or Switch or whatever.
Is LCD liquid toxic? I'm worried about my broken anbernigger leaking that shit everywhere.
>>12795234>Retroon out of thin air>Vertitranny single stick retardationAnberniggers are getting desperate I see. Vertishits never have better ergos and you just KNO those buttons are shit. Redditdroid and Anbernig are two sides of an axe wound. >>12795481>What is the x28, r50s, or any gpd shitheld
>>12795030It'll likely improve some more since this update just dropped, the guy behind GammaOS is dedicated to making it work, and this is the first major release of the thing (1.4) + a smaller update (1.4.1). Right now I would only buy the thing if you're okay with not playing touch-heavy games (Metroid Prime Hunters and Moon were okay but clearly felt off) or rhythm games, are okay with a clunky menu experience which I'm sure he'll continue fix, and okay with the full screened upscaling with no real ability to change it on your end which I'm also sure he'll eventually address. I don't think he's ever gonna get rhythm games working personally.Any button-focused games are perfectly fine so if you plan on playing something like Castlevania or Pokemon it's completely fine, no issues at all. I genuinely had no issues testing out Star Force 3 or Dawn of Sorrow for a few hours outside of not caring much for the chicklet shoulder buttons.
>>12795643My heart was already dead set just because it's true 4:3 screens and the general aesthetic of it, it's kinda of a mindfuck to look at videos of android on a DS and touching the top screen, something you wish you could have done back then.I learned it can just scrape by pretty much all the DS games with the newer GammaOS and the games it doesn't you can just tone down the post processing.Most of the games I do want to play aren't too touch heavy and the ones I do don't need much precision. I hear it can mostly do N64 which is a bonus.I mostly just worry about hardware reliability, but if it lasts a year I'd be happy, there will probably be a new one out
>>12795745>it's kinda of a mindfuck to look at videos of android on a DS and touching the top screen, something you wish you could have done back then.Any Android-ness like that is ripped out if you actually want to make it usable with GammaOS Nano so keep that in mind. Like, you can touch the top screen for some menus but there's no real reason. You can install a "full Android" install version of GammaOS Nano but it introduces performance issues. So if your expectation is to do that Linux (via Rocknix) doesn't support it and stock Android is unusable in any serious way on it.>I learned it can just scrape by pretty much all the DS games with the newer GammaOSIt just uses Screenscraper like Emulation-Station does and still runs into issues with translation patches or romhacks sadly.>and the ones I do don't need much precisionPrecision isn't the issue so much as how "off" it feels using a capacitive screen for these things and the latency if you hold on the screen for more than half a second. I can see the cursor lagging behind my movements in both Hunters and Moon. If you only need to use it for brief things like Dawn of Sorrow's glyphs it's fine, it you need it for something like Phantom Hourglass' movement I don't think it's going to be a fun experience.
I'm currently using a hacked DSi and despite looking great I realized it's unusable for Pokemon games. They are agonizingly slow and have 0% respect for the player's time. I have to play as the same time as watching shit on youtube and I'm spending more effort on youtube then I do with the damn game. This shit NEEDS emulator speedup.
>>12795804What Pokémon games exactly? All the DS Pokémon games and GBC Pokémon games should be fine.I haven't tried it personally, but GBARunner3 should be your method of playing GBA games on DSi.It's the same method of running GBA games on 3DS; bare metal backwards compatibility through the same ARM processors that GBA used.
>>12795804Gen 5 is fine without speedup but Gen 4 is aids even with speedup.
>>12793624Gay version?
>>12796109
Finally decided to fuck around with n64 emulation only to find once again knulli was completely fucked and retarded nigger tier. Only the retroarch cores would even open and it turns out the miyoo flip v2 is still way too weak for solid n64 emulation while running retroarch on top. Everything else just crashed. Tried GammaOS and it ran great, fullspeed no problem and no real issues but I lose out on portmaster in the process. So Finally I tried out rocknix and it works but I have to basically set the gpu and cpu governor to performance to get enough eumph. So its like I'm forced to choose between good performance but shit featureset jank from android base if I want n64. Or Shit battery life if I want n64 and portmaster. Oh my nova couldn't fucking arrive soon enough.
RG DS Plus:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_ZBKwptV5Uno mention on what chip it is so hold your horses
>>127959093DS has actual virtualisation whereas gbarunner2/3 has jank ass hacks so it's not exactly the same
>>12796405Weird that they'd go back to one stick but I'm not really complaining.
>>12796405Probably RK3566 or RK3576. But there's always a chance it will be yet another H700 handheld.
>>12796421If the most it can do is PSP and NDS without fast forward then there's no point in having the second analog.
>>12796405Look, it's what they should have released in the first place. Too bad it's not $70 so it's not worth it at all, might have been a decent clamshell to just throw in your pocket.>>12796432Has to be 3576 because of dual video output.
>>12796421More liek RG DS MINUS(one stick)
>>12796434CTRQuake exists and I'm tired of pretending it doesn't
>>12796435>RG DS is $140what the fuck
>>12796405Looking good, what it needed to be in the first place.Also it's Linux so that's a big plus.
>Phone update now causes my gamepad to disconnect and require being reseated/replugged every time I stop charging it now.Into the trash it goes, I don't give a fuck if it has OTG passthrough I'm going back to my gamesaar x5 lite.
>>12796405If this is cheaper than a dsixl and they fixed the slow charging this is something i will get, og rg ds disappointed me in several ways
>>12796459Isnt it both like the first one?>>12796462Which phone and gamepad? I think I read this issue before.
>>12796405Doesn't look as nice as the dual screen that new company are making
>>12796483Difference is this is perfectly integer scaled. Wasn't the other one targeting 3x on the top?
>>12796482RGDS is Android / Linux, but the RGDS Plus video promoted it's Linux not Android.GammaOS CFW for RGDS is Android based rather than Linux based.It also promotes a "new DS emulator" called NNDDSS, it seems like Anbernic are putting a special effort into the firmware and software this time.It'll be interesting to see if the stock firmware is worth keeping this time.
>>12796484I thought the yoniq was also 4x
>>12796504>Yoniq revealed that the Yoniq Duo features high-definition dual screens with 4x pixel-perfect scaling.You're right, I thought it had the same sort of issue the RG DS does with it not being a perfect scale.
>>12796494>NNDDSSprobably another melonDS fork for dual screen devices
>>12796405Lol. I really liked the RG DS bit I kept putting off buying it until eventually I just got a Thor.If these chinky fucks would've just released this in the first place they would've saved me $300.Oh well at least now I have something with OLED and actually good battery life.
>>12795909>>12796419Ackshually... 3DS does run GBA "natively", but at what cost, when the noninteger scaling looks like utter fucking shit. GBARunner3 on a DSi XL is actually great, much better than 2, the most you will run into is some popping noises once an hour on some games.
>>12796515MelonDS is more demanding, might be Desmume based.Although Melon DS 1.0 on desktop already supports multi-window output.Will be curious to see what NNDDSS really is, but the name is cute, like PPSSPP.>>127965203DS wasn't really the point, it was that anon was probably having issues playing GBA games on a DSi XL.That or they have no patience for playing games without fast forward.
>>12796434a second stick is nice for psp thoughcan you imagine trying to clawgrip this fucking thing while playing monster hunter?
>>12796482redmagic 11 pro and the virtua 8bitdo. Its the only controller with any kind of storage passthrough. But it ended up being worthless for anything other than retro due to usb 2.0 read speeds. Caps at something like 40mb/s. They should really just fucking make a phone controller with an sd card slot I don't fucking even.
>>12796405the blue one is sexmy favorite DSi color
>>12796405After multiple huge losses this year, waitfags finally get a win. If the reviews are good and the price isn't crazy, I'm grabbing one.
>>12796405>Anbernic Discord says it's the same chip as the OG RGDSlol lmao
>>12796557You're not gonna be playing Monster Hunter on an RG DS come on.It's a dedicated DS device, not 3DS, not PSP (especially not with those screens), but you might play some stuff like PS1, GBA, and earlier on it.I guess the few dualshock PS1 games would miss out on the second stick, but I think it's mostly there for players that are too used to using analogue for everything.>>12796569Yeah I'm all about the blue one.It's not a metallic blue like my favorite DSi model, but it's nice.Hope the plastic doesn't feel cheap like the RGDS apparently did.
>>12796602I doubt it could handle ps1 without serious lag
Thanks for beta testing, RGDS buyers.
>>12796635RK3568 can do PS1 just fine?Unless the second screen setup fucks with that.
>>12796635Retard.
>>12796598the cope is real
>>12796558To make sure its the phone and not controller, you're using a different keyboard other than the stock one, switch to the stock keyboard your phone came with.>RedmagicPOWERFUL, but I don't see why they'd make a gaming phone without an SD card slot. People literally only buy it for gaming and ai generation since it has a fan. Ayaneo's making the same retarded mistake
>>12796649>He doesn't kno plus buyers are just beta testing for the pro.
Is it true that they cancelled the Odin 3 portal?
>>12796653Show me then, faggot. Let's see it
does the ds plus have a better battery or nah
>>12796675They haven't revealed the full spec sheet yet.
>>12796656I really shot myself in the foot. Best I can do is rom swapping at this point with some extra drives while I'm out and about. The virtua storage expansion plan was a flop. I definitely think its the controller though. My gamesaar x5 lite will turn off after a while of the screen being asleep and not fully charge the phone but I can press a button on the controller and it still turns back on without any hassle. The virtua controller demands to be reseated with zero ability to reconnect.
https://youtu.be/e_ZBKwptV5U?is=smgfMb2oOmdninKPDid you guys see the new amber nig? We boughting?
>>12796405All it needs now is a stronger chipset, another joystick, joysticks that have good range of motion, better buttons, and a dual screen that doesn't have noticeable syncing issues out of the box!!!
>>12796689yes day 1 bought
pink bimbernic...
>>12796689are you stupid or a bot?
>>12796405>massive and unpocketable>only 1 nubbin, not even a full analog stick>microcringe clickshit inputs>select and start in narnia>stylus bay cutting into battery capacity>dual oversized screens further reducing battery lifemeh, maybe the stylus bay will prevent the chip from using the battery as a heatsink? probably not thoughat least it doesn't have cancer hump triggers and is linux i guess, still a far cry from what it needs to be in order to be the endgame dual screen crackcel
>>12796828retard
>>12796405I'm glad I didn't buy the original RG DS, because I would feel so ripped off if I got one with those dogshit 480p panels.
>>12792225getting more and mroe comfy with my NovaI'm a newfriend to the handheld space, what should my next steps be? Do I keep the stock android distro as is, or should I try flashing something else? What's this about not utilizing the full hardware?
>>12796873The next step is realizing the void inside your soul has not been filled and buying another, more expensive handheld chasing a new high
>>12796875i notice this only happens to people who don't play retro games and instead only want to """""play"""""(read: take pictures of title screens to post on reddit and twitter, like the performative retard faggots that they are) modern era systems on their chinkhelds
>>12796405Was feeling kind of hype about this but learnt that they're using the old chip, think I might wait and see what retroid are cooking with their dual screen handheld since I heard some rumors they're doing something with the nova screen. I just want an affordable usable dual screen for ds games without all the buggy mess.
I got my RP Nova.It's a little smaller than I thought it would be.But it's nice to have so much power in a smaller handheld.
>>12796828Does retardo (you) realizo that the DSi XL was the same sizeo with microswitchos?
>>12796885>Describes retro coomlectors perfectly >Doesnt kno powerful chinkhelds were made for modernslop in the first placeRetroon gonna retroon. Thinks he needs the keked nova for goyslops2/gaycube when the 406h was always there. Notice how anbernig and powchaddy daddies have less title screen posts? I'm noticing...>>12796914>Old chipWas that confirmed? Wtf max? Break from the rockshit curse. They have no power over you
The RGDS Plus has a screen for 4x DS scaling but won't even be able to do 4x with the same weak SoC. Wait for the "Pro" version.
>>12796972Supporting integer scaling with 1x and 2x internal res is already a huge improvement.
>>12796972NNDDSS is just this good
Of course the RG DS will use an old chip. Linux-compatible chips don't grow on trees. They can't can't slap android on an old snapdragon like other companies do.
If you have the Nova, the Aliexpress TPU case makes it feel a lot more stable in the hand for dual-analog games. Highly recommend it.
>>12796649Thanks for the beta testing, RG DS Plus buyers.t. future RG 3DS Plus M buyer
>>12796985I'm waiting for NNNDDDSSS
>>12797006Kek.
>>12797018>less ram, no storagelmao fuck this
>>12796873I put Cocoon as my frontend. It's really nice.
>>12797019Just get a thor
>>12797020>frontendWhy do people do thisIf you grew up with a DOS command line then the retroarch file picker is already a massive improvement
>>12797018>1GB>no internal storageThat'll be $100+tip.>>12797024Why would DOS be the baseline for anything in 2026? What's next, you want me to launch games from my phone typing in over wireless adb? Not to mention retroonarch covers less than half my emulators.
>>12797024Because some people like to customize their shit. Is it really that hard for you to understand?
>>12797024Because I want my handheld to feel like a handheld, not an Android phone.
>>12797034Don't you get it it's easier to do something with 15 button presses rather than 2? I'm jewey btw
>>12797018I know they didn't want to make DS buyers feel like they got a raw deal, but this is somehow worse in the opposite direction.
How come no handhelds have copied the deck's haptic trackpads?
>>12797043using a frontend is less button presses that launching stuff manually, that's literally their point
>>12796405what's the point of the 4x screen when it's not powerful enough to run DS games at 4x?
>>12797064Scaling pixels, all games worth playing on DS are 2D and 3/DS XL has garbage scaling. Grossly overpriced and underpowered though.
>>12797024The UI is just bad (inefficient) compared to the frontends. It takes 2x-5x longer to open a game you want compared to just using a frontend. At that point I really would prefer just using a CLI.
Oh my fucking god I forgot how terrible the bosses are in mystical ninja goemon. That shit took 10 minutes or more.
>>12797024>then the retroarch file picker is already a massive improvementI'd rather use RA as less as I possibly can for how shitty it is to use. If Android had Mednafen in full I'd jump to that in a heartbeat.
>>12797018Less ram!?!? Where's the faggot that said it would run ps1 with problems at?
>>12797163RAM seems to be more important for Portmaster stuff than for emulation.I got caught by that when I picked up the metallic blue RG34XXSP recently, it's 1GB instead of 2GB like the indigo once I'm still using.
>>12797018>Actually worse than just buying the RG DS now.>The RG DS itself can barely do 2x let alone 3x and they think it's going to go 4x despite GammaOS Nano being by far the most barebones and best performing OS on the thing.
>>12797171348p and 576p screens do not exist, they went 768p because it's the only thing that can integer scale
>>12797173They're advertising it as if it's gonna be able to 4x scale when it's basically just a rehousing deal. This is like when they advertised the RG DS as being able to play 3DS.
>>12796914>I just want an affordable usable dual screen for ds games without all the buggy mess.It exists and it's called the DS Lite
>>12797176it's able to play some 3ds games at full speed though
Thor accessories finally arrived, and as someone that has been rawdogging it daily for almost a year, the grip fucking sucks dick, maybe I'm just too used to it, but the raw thor is so much better, the grip feels super bulky. TPU shell is alright I guess, at least it's more protected now that it has that and the screen protectors.
>>12797171>>12797176The idea is entirely about integer scaling, which takes zero effort compared to actually trying to increase the internal resolution or even using a shader to mask issues of using a screen that can't integer scale
>>12797236>or even using a shaderNNDDSS is so optimized that it can run shaders too!
>>12796649I reckon anbernig will end up making a 3rd ds model, like they did with the clamshell.

>>12795432what's the point of your penis when it's so small
what’s the point of batlexp the g350 is being sold as the rg 35 anyways
I don't like this new rg ds chang and I will be pre ordering a thor lite instead.
My Thor I ordered during an Aliexpress sale (was through the official AYN store) 2 weeks ago just shipped.Had been bouncing back and forth between Black and Rainbow colors and settled on Rainbow but kept fretting over possibly regretting it, but also know I would do the same thing the other way around lol
>>12796840Yes, yes (you) are.
>>12796665Takes one to know one~ ;3
>>12797310You sound upset.
Ngl bros the Miniloong is looking pretty kino
>>12797310False equivalent. We're talking about things that people actually want to play with.
>>12797018AI bubble gonna pop aaaaaaaany day now
>>12797168What game is giving you problems? The ones I've tried so far all work fine. I heard the buttons were worse on the old 2GB models and the nice metallic blue color is also only available on the 1GB batch
>>12796914>>12797180It exists and it's called the Ayn Thor.
>>12797439>he wasted money on the 12gb version
>>12797910Haven't actually used the 1GB model yet since I'm still using the Indigo one.At some point I'd want to fix the buttons since they're wearing, but I haven't found the resources to do so, be it guides or where to buy replacement pads.A brief search just turned up instructions for the RG35XXSP, it's not the same.
>>12797928I'd personally just suggest to get a new 1GB one unless you truly need 2GB for some reason
>>12797931I have the 1GB metallic blue one sitting unboxed right now lolI fucking love my RG34XXSP, use it all the time but the buttons on these things do wear out so I bought a back-up.
>>12797950fuck fuck fuck, I just bought a metallic blue one, should I get a second one?
RG 40XX or RG Cube XX?I can't decide which one to chose.Mostly cause of the dpad quality.
I'm setting up retroarch on this retroid handheld and I set up the SD card to have my roms and bios folder but retroarch seemed to add a bunch of folders to the SD card like "Alarms" "Android" "Audiobooks" "DCIM" "Documents" etc etc but I don't want to add any folders or files to the SD card and instead have them in a different location on the internal storage, how should I ensure retroarch doesn't add anything to the SD card?
>>12797608I like it but I want 2 analog sticks
>>12797394Nice kot but thor too expensive, I use O3DSXL and it's great but can't do ps1 or n64. I think the new one can but then the thor lite is probably cheeper.
>>12798062that's an android feature, and it will recreate deleted default storage directories until morale improves
>>12798072You mean android adds these folders for every sd card inserted, that's sort of weird ugggggggh I guess I'll have to deal with it
>>12798079This is both an Android and Linux feature. When an app tries to access a standardized folder in your home folder, if that folder does not exist it will be created automatically. The only difference is that Android treats SD cards as additional home folders for whatever reason, while Linux doesn't.You might be able to prevent this by formatting the card as "internal storage", but that would make the SD card useless outside your handheld. So the better option is just making a "RetroArch/" folder there and using that as the main data folder of your RetroArch app.
my rg557 finally reached its end, what should i replace it with if i mainly want ps2 and around the same price range? (i got it for like 200 yuros)
>>12798094Thanks a lot I'll do that except ill just have a bios folder and roms folder live next to the android folders. But I also want to make sure retroarch doesn't save any files to the roms folder, like srm files or other things, I think the directory settings in retroarch can change that, I sure hope so.
>>12798098>my rg557 finally reached its endHow do you "end" a current gen handheld? Run it over with a train or something?
>>12798098What do you mean finally, isn't that thing barely a year old? I knew it looked like a 2000s bootleg controller, but it's also built like one?
>>12798145>>12798149one of the sticks broke off (100% my fault) and while there might be ways to replace it, id honestly rather not because they felt awful to begin with.i haven't looked at chinkhelds since the last 5 - 6 months so i have no idea what is new lately.>I knew it looked like a 2000s bootleg controller, but it's also built like one?the ergonomics were the best thing about it but it did feel pretty cheap.
>>12798160I can't remember if 557 uses the custom pole mount joysticks most handhelds have or uses those shitty fake joycon mounts (seems like the latter in your case), either way you should be able to buy replacement ones directly from Anbernic.Retroid's counterpart to the 557 is the Nova. $239
>>12798160>the ergonomics were the best thing about itYeah, I'll give it that much. Shame about basically everything else, and now they're retracting to RP3 ripoffs. Anbernic is so fucking stupid to not capitalize on ergos.If they're still using switch sticks like on this 556 teardown I'm seeing, you'll have a better time with anything modern, AFAIK they're all on not switch Ginful hall effect sticks now. RP6 or Nova would be your best choices, the latter after late September (last we heard) when they claim they're doing something about tolerance issues on d-pads.
>>12798170>>12798172the 557 sticks are switch-like but with some kind of hall effect like feature supposedly, but for some reason they made them very small so it gets awkward to control often.>RP6 / Novathese seem to be exactly what i'm looking for and i'm guessing the build quality will be a lot better compared to anbernic, i saw that there's also a mangmi pocket max that is slightly cheaper to get (at least in europe), how does that compare to those?

>>12798381wanting to play cod and that sort of slop on them is pretty cringe, but there are a lot of good retro style pc fan games though too which feel right at home on these devices
>>12798197That's like a budget Odin 2 Portal. SD865 for $200 something doesn't make much sense in the age of widespread 8Gen2 for a little more, that'll give you more PS2 and GC coverage on top of a little extra juice for Switch. But once again, avoid the Nova until it gets truly sorted out, even the screws are shipping overtorqued and people are stripping them.

my nova is currently in NYC i've half a mind to drive up there myself and pick it up im so excited
>>12798534>Potential delivery issue. Your package may have been affected by an issue that occurred in transit. We’re sorry for the inconvenience.
>>12794458Goldo
>>12798534Mine just got delivered by Gofo today. Can't wait to see if it survived being overhand-thrown at my door by the delivery driver.
>>12798381I both agree and disagree.Right now, it's a complete waste of time. Everything is vibe coded, the compatibility sucks, performance is mediocre, and there are a lot of overheating problems. It's a complete novelty.At the same time, I think it's the future, even if we're not quite there yet. Compatibility will get better, performance will improve, and it will eventually be a polished solution. Valve's Frame might be the herald, if it's actually released and lives up to the hype.But today, just use Moonlight/Sunshine and stop wasting time getting x86 to work on Android.
>>12798381Right now handhelds can play half the games in existence, and now you're telling me a device that can play all of them you're crashing out? Just because you want to carry your PC everywhere doesn't mean everyone else does
>>12798614This is 2026 (almost 2027) not 1990Everything can play almost everythingAnd yet you still spend most of your time ordering new incremental chinkhelds and arguing on 4chan rather than playing games
>>12798489>even the screws are shipping overtorqued and people are stripping themThey are always overtorqued because it allows their shit cases to lie flat enough for the micro sd to fit. Handheld case design is by far the WORST and most overlooked feature. Impossible to split apart without special tools, guaranteed to get scratched even if you succeed, a handful of the world's shittiest plastic clips that come loose if they don't snap off entirely holding the whole thing together. Why in the love of god is there not a pin you can simply turn from the outside to unlatch it, or at least a gap in the frame so you can get leverage from the inside at least. We literally have an anon in the thread who will buy a whole new device because it's too hard to get this shit apart in a quick, simple, and painless way.

Finally finished setting up the Nova with Cocoon and adding a bunch a games. Will add more later, haven;t touched Wii U, Switch, DS, or 3DS yet. Really happy with this device.
>>12798746Nice
>>12798746time to put it in a drawer or 3d printed stand now.
>>12798746Needs more animations and blinking lights.
>>12798773Nah, but I'll doubt any of my other devices will see use after getting it. I'm extremely impressed with it. Playing Brave Fencer Musashi now. Beat Bomberman Quest on it last night (started playing on my RG Rotate, and have already put a couple hours into Tetris DX on it. Also loaded all of the original Mobile Suit Gundam (been a comfort watch for me for years) onto it to. Looks great with shaders.>>12798805I know right :)
>>12798746>Gamecube tranny zoomer color.Of course.
>>12798813I'll have you know I am 33. Am a tranny though :P
>>12798813It is literally the only good looking color they have aside from maybe the Ice Blue and Watermelon.
>>12798815Based. Is that cocoon launcher any good?
>>12798821I'm really liking it. It's got a level of polish I haven't seen in other front ends I've tried. Have used Beacon, ES-DE, and Knulli (Linux). Cocoon does a good job of copying the 3DS's interface. Not everyone will need or want this much customization, but it's exactly what I was looking for in a front end.
>>12798829Sounds good. I'll nab it later. I really want a Nintendo-esque UI (I got the SNES color Nova).
>>12798671GPD Win 4, 7840u model with 64gb ram and 4tb nvme.
>>12798830There are some nice themes in the Theme shop (all free). One's that mimic the NDS, 3DS, Wii, Wii U, and GameCube.

>RG DS PlusI will now buy your device.
I just realized the only thing I use my handheld for is playing Megaman Battle Network.
>>12799105You sure, less ram than the RG DS?
>>12799105>not waiting for the RG DS Pro
>>12799127PS1 emulation doesnt need more than 1GB and same for DS desu.
>buy a cheap battlexp handheld on a whim>most of the arcade games are pretty lame>find ridge racer for the psp>can't stop playingI didn't realize how big a difference it makes having a dedicated gaming device compared to a phone in one of those mobile squeeze controllers. I've put more time on ridge racer alone than any amount of gaming I've done on my phone, pc streaming included.The psp/ps1 game catalog is pretty bad on the preloaded card. I have thousands of arcade games and like 5 psp games. What are some classics I should try that work well on an RG 35XXPro? I have tekken 5/6, bloons and god of war chains of olympus.
>>12799248>RG 35XXProShould be able to play most, if not all PS1 games. Here's a helpful list of recs.>https://vsrecommendedgames.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Sony_PlayStation
>>12797925It works out anyway even if I don't need the RAM, I don't have a spare microSD and saw how the prices jumped there, and with the discounts it ended up being an easy choice to upgrade.
Clear purple Nova arrived today along with the black grip. I prefer the grip to the bumped back, and it's pretty easy to take the grip off and put it back on. The d-pad clacks if I whack it with my thumb, but it's silent if I use it normally (I wouldn't have even tested this if it weren't a debate). Everything else seems fine thus far.Some other initial impressions:>lighter feeling than it looks>smaller than the numbers made me expect, it's really thin and easily fits in my pocket if I want>the lower volume settings are very quiet, which I prefer. I set negative gain on most handhelds>audio quality is a mile better than the Flip 2 and honestly seems fine out of the box>stick LEDs are blindingly bright. I set them to 2%>the clear buttons aren't remotely sharp
>>12799268Thanks anon there's a lot on that list I never thought I could play on this thing.
>>12799275>random discourse tranny talking points parroted from eceleb jewtubers>nothing about the lag
>>12799275One more thought: I agree with comments that the pivot point on R2 and L2 is wrong. If I press them where I naturally want to, the buttons slide under my fingers because the pivot arc doesn't follow the natural motion of my fingers.>>12799321Lag feels the same as my Portal, so not an issue.
>>12799321What lag? Haven't noticed any. Even reviews that attempted to measure latency said the Nova was a improvement compared to other handhelds.
>>12799326>Lag feels the same as my Portaltop kek>>12799336>what lag? title screen aint got none *smacks lips*
>>12799350Dude, what are you even doing? Are you mad people are enjoying their Novas? You're acting like a fucking loser.
Can someone give me some help, I want to buy a handheld. But I can't decide which one.I've did some research and can't choose a RG 40xx H or a RG Cube XX
>>12799357>You're acting like a fucking loser.kek. hoes madthis is the gaming board, you can talk about your toys on the toy board. we're all here to game and we only care about gaming, kiddo. take your clacky buttons and pocketable dicks and rgb soma to a different board
>>12799359What's your budget? What consoles are you mainly looking to emulate?
>>12799361Who's mad? You're pathetic. I'd sooner die than be this jaded. I feel bad for you.
>>12799359>Can someone give me some help, I want to buy a handheld. But I can't decide which one.so your main options are the 3ds, the vita, the ds lite, the sp, and the gbc. get the 3ds if you want to play 3ds games. it also has a big library of vc injections. it can play ds games natively and gba games close to natively. the new3ds has better hardware for emulating snes and shit. non nintendo 3ds games kind of look like shit on the xl models. i recommend og 3ds regular for best price to performancevita gives you vita and psp games. good if you're into weeb games. can play some ps1 and emulators toods lite can play ds and gba games natively through flash carts. the ds flash cart is dirt cheap and the newer gba ones are too, they're about $10 each now. ds games look beautiful and gba games look really good on it too.sp is for if you want to play gba and gb games with a backlightgbc is for if you want to actually game outside in the sun. screen looks beautiful in the sun and no other handheld replicates that. it's also good to play before bed because no blue light emission. gbc is for biohacking and sleep optimization basically. you go outside as soon as you wake up and play it in the sun, and at night before bed you play it under a lampi have a ds lite and gbc. the flash cart set for ds, gba, and gb/gbc cost me $40 in total, the ds lite was like $30. this combo can play any generation natively and can play in the light or in the dark. 3ds + gba is another viable option, probably better for most people, but i've already been through the entire 3ds library and prefer my ds games looking niceds phat is the middle ground all in one because it can do light/dark and ds/gba with gb/gbc emulation. kind of a jack of all trades master of none though
I got the RG 35XXSP do I get the RG SP because it's slimmer with a better screen for GBA games and buttons that dont suck?
>>12799440>better screenthe screen is way worse than original gba/sp. its unusable in the sun and has the wrong frequency and input laggba if you want to play in the sun and value repairability, sp if you only play indoors and dont have a lamp
This might be a dumb question but would there be a way to automate downloading ROMs of /v/'s recommended games?
>>12799268>most, if not all PS1 gamesIt is capable of playing the entire PS1 library at 2x res.

Ok I boughted a handheld, put a screen protector on it, fixed the dpad, changed the OS, put a bunch of games on iti still feel empty, what now
>>12799593>picI miss them..
bros i have a confession i needed $5 of filler to reach a coupon cutoff on ali and i shamefully boughted an onahole along with my handheldit hasnt come in yet
>>12799537I just researched every retro game I saw someone play and added them one by one a couple hundred times. I don't know how to find the massive rom packs and I didn't want to go through deleting the games I wasn't interested in, one by one.>>12799617You pick a random game and force yourself to play it until the existential feelings go away
>>12799665>buying an onahole from aliexpressEnjoy your dick rash
>>12799690...elaborate
>>12799696I was merely joking, but I wouldn't trust putting my dick in any bootleg chink product, especially from ali.
>>12799439No, I want to know which is better, rg cube xx or rg 40xx H. Not those garbage handhelds
>>12799739You listed garbage. Anything not from gpd, ayaneo, or gameconsole is ewaste
>>12799745Why a waste?
>>12799739They are quite literally the same thing in a different body.https://retrocatalog.com/compare/rg-cube-xx/rg-40xxhIf you're seriously struggling to decide, then just pick the 40XX-H. It is objectively better for the majority of people.The ergonomic grips on the CubeXX are irrelevant since 40XX-H is comfortable enough. Neither of the two have offset controls, so neither is really "ergonomic" in any way.CubeXX having a 1:1 display is actually a bad thing. It means your games will render at a lower resolution (in the real definition of resolution, meaning "the surface area"). For example, CubeXX renders PS1/N64 at 3.5 inches compared to 4 inches on the 40XX-H. CubeXX renders GBA at 3.4 inches compared to 3.8 on the 40XX-H. There are more consoles that care about 4:3 than there are those that care about 1:1. And even the systems that are 1:1 or close to 1:1 will not have perfect integer scaling on the CubeXX, so you're not gaining anything by using that display.CubeXX has a slightly bigger battery, but that makes it 20% heavier. It is also taller and thicker than the 40XX-H. If you're getting a console that heavy, then you're far better off getting something that can run systems beyond the PS1.
>>12799745>gameconsole>not e-waste>>12799751Feel free to ignore that guy. He's trying to sell you on an even shittier SoC.
oh no
Handhelds?
>>12799768>Onahole let's you coom with both hands on your handheld which is a very important aspect of playing retro video games I'd say it's relevant
A handheld that doubles down as an onahole
>>12799745Half the shit in that list is out of stock/discontinued, why are you sharing outdated and retarded options and opinions?
>>12799756Awesome answer, what about the battery warming up and the dpad not being accurate? I've heard both in lots of places
>>12799810I have the 40XX-H and I don't have overheating issues. D-Pad works fine. I've only held CubeXX once in my hand so I have no idea if it overheats or not nor do I remember what the D-Pad is like on it.
Chang should hire me to fix his dpads
>>12799359RG40XX H - the screen is better for more things than the cube, which is good for tate shmups and GB/GBC. mind you the 40XXH is fine for GB/GBC with an overlay
What's onahole would pair well with a RP Nova?
>>12799439GBA on 3DS isn't close to native, it is native. Maybe you are mixing it up with DSi and GBARunner. But the screen scaling makes GBA on 3DS fucking terrible. On the XL you can use 1x for it, but then you end up with a gigantic hilarious bezel in a bezel situation.
>>12792227If Dawn wasn't such an ugly frontend the one35 would be one of my favorite devices. The problem is that you have to use Dawn if you want to take advantage of it's tate mode.Also since I know he lurks these threads, why the fuck do theme images have to be in a .png format, but boxart has to be in a .jpg format?
>>12799447Is this post weaponized autism?
>>12799105Just buy a Thor, or if you can't affood that, a DSi XL. Both options are a million times better for DS games.
>>12799593>The razer edge 2 is the only android "handheld" with ios/x86 tier input delay. I still don't know how they did itthere s no "doing it". this is a vulture industry. the way it works is they buy leftover space on the screen factories. screens are produced on giant 9 x 6 rectangular slabs, random companies like samsung/apple/lg/etc, reserves space for their gadgets, maybe a 55" for a tv, 12" for tablets/laptops, a few inches for phones etc. inevitably the plan doesnt add up to a perfect 100% usage. the factory recoups cost by selling the remaining parcels of space for pennies on the dollar. if there are no sellers they scrap it and use it for the next set of screens.so these "open source" handheld companies come in and buy the remaining pieces of screen. that's why the aspect ratios are seemingly at random sometimes. then they buy pallets of outdated chips for pennies on the dollar as well. then they automate the soldering as much as they can and have chink slave labor put in the ribbon cables and buttons for $2 an hour. the operating systems are whatever is open source, and sometimes even the casing. buttons are whatever is laying around. margins are razor thin but then again they're literally selling garbage. there is no "design". they just slap together whatever and call it a day. they need to make dozens of models a year just to stay afloat.the reason some have android and some have linux is because google forces phone companies to lock the kernel and not allow it to be open source. the linux sticks come from smart tv sticks and other open source shit. the only strong chips are in phones but they are all locked to android until the linux community successfully reverse engineers them. apparently the adreno was reverse engineered and there is strong progress on certain snapdragon ones, when snapdragon gets linux these chinkhelds will be a lot betterandroid has significant latency issues not just with the screens but at the operating system level
>>12799946thor is incomparably worse compared to og hardware. it's popular because it's the premier title screen device. you can take a screenshot of the title screen while posting to reddit at the same time so thats why they like it
>>12799974I can't see the original hardware playing all the games the Thor can play nor having as good of a display.
>>12799984the ds hardware plays thousands of games natively without lag, the thor cant play any games without lag. the ds screens are better because they have zero lag. thor is for title screen redditors, original hardware is for people that actually play the games.
Phonebro who wants and a combat horizontal controller. Are you still here?>>12799965I know that... Normally input delay can be reduced for android stuff if the device has root and you set the cpu governor to performance. Samsung has their own software to set the governor to performance without root for gayming purposes.>>12799996Phones. Official handhelds. Chinkhelds. Koreahelds. The only two brithelds. Title screens devices. Its what they were born for. People don't give a shit about a title screen for a console or pc unless it's a leak. But pocket devices? It evokes emotion. I miss powchaddy...
how does the RG suiSlide screen look for GBA games?
>>12799816Ok thanks for the tips. I'm gonna buy the rg 40xx H.I want a horizontal Handheld, not those cringe square screens. Also I'm going to play till ps1
>>12800052Why not the 406h? The slide is THICC. They both look good for gba still>>12800064The cube is horizontal
>>12800072I want to stim with the suiSlide
>>12799275>The d-pad clacks if I whack it with my thumb, but it's silent if I use it normallyOne more update on this: my Flip 2 does the same exact thing when I hit the center of the d-pad. Not sure why no one cared back then. The Nova is maybe a little louder, and feels like it has a shorter distance to go before it hits bottom and clacks.It feels like Retroid uses a long stem to make a firm pivot, but leaves either too much play or used the wrong materials, so you end up with clacking with you hit the middle. To compare with two other d-pads I have nearby, a regular Trimui Brick has the same firm stem feeling, but is silent when hit in the middle due to no play in the vertical direction. My favorite d-pad, the Ayaneo Micro Classic, has no obvious stem feeling. Pressing the middle with enough force depresses one cardinal button and settles on a softer pivot that smoothly rocks in any direction.
>want a brick >feel retarded buying something so old
>>12800204I don't get this mindset. If it plays what you want to play, get it. A Brick 2.0 isn't going to play GBC better.Wanting new makes a little more sense with Android handhelds, since compatibility and cutting-edge performance can actually matter there. But for the Linux, custom OS handhelds, nothing really changes once you're set up.
>>12800204Get a modded one with all the bells and whistlesI have like 4 modded GBAs
>>12800204I have the Brick Hammer. It's a excellent little device. Highly recommend it. It';s more comfortable than my Rotate.
can't wait to comfortably play ps3/ps4/vita games on the odin 6 portal
After 1 year of ownership, my Anbernig is completely destroyed. The screen leaked on the bottom right side, and the d-pad input is stuck pushing up-left. It wasn't even heavily used, it spent most of its time in a drawer. You get what you pay for, I guess.
The Thor will take too long to ship before I go to the cottage early October, so considering other options. Still might get it, but can't expect it to be here to use when I want it.I never tried NeoGeo/Sega Saturn games so I wanted something that'll play them as well as maybe PS1/2. Any good handhelds on Amazon that'll ship to Canada within a couple weeks?

But maybe that's because I'm not trying to play cutting edge AAA shit on the Steam Deck, even on my old 1050ti/i7 7700HQ laptop I try not to play overly demanding games on it, nor am I trying to push how far it goes with settings.>>12800320Now I want to see if my MagicX One35 will last longer when it arrives in the mail, so much for Anbernic's "good build quality" like Russ says.
>>12792585hmm... considering how theres those triggers in the middle of the device, whole anti/aesthetic AS FUCK, the position SHOULD allow for a more throrough positioning of the hands, in the device, instead of just having them scooched on the side. theoretically, one shouldnt have problems holding the device on vertical mode for long periods of time like that... thing is, how many fucking games in Tate configuration NEED more than 4 buttons to justify the ugly as hell side triggers?
>>12800329if there is a bulk ROM pack out there of Neo Geo games and an ez emulator to put on my laptop then I'd consider that but I still enjoy the idea of taking a handheld and playing some vidya outside on the dock
>>12800320Meanwhile my PSP still works, nothing ever broke and I haven't even ever changed the battery.Why don't Chinks make products with good build quality like Japan does?
>>12800356The PSP was more expensive and was sold at a loss. The chinks actually need to make a profit on the hardware.

Is there really no way to play Paper Mario TTYD without the slowdowns every time a graphical effect uses bounding box? Never played through this game, how often do those happen? Seems like it could be super annoying if it's really often.Literally just finished playing PP64 and for that one I had to use Angrylion because every other video plugin had graphical glitches. Is this series cursed?

>>12800540PS Vita is outdated as fuck and worth little for emulation these days. What do you want to play?

>>12800542>>12800549Budget around £400. Looking for quality. Have had a few Ambernic consoles and each one has been sent back for a refund due to button failures. Looking for something that can go up to 7th generation comfortably, GameCube/Wii. Any suggestions?
>>12800549>>12800542Also, I enjoy old arcade games so decent Mame support?
>>12800507Angrylion? Yeah, no wonder, that's purely CPU based, I'm amazed you got it to run fullspeed at all. I think Paper Mario looks fine on standalone Mupen, it's just broken on RA's core. I've been told of a RA fork that loads turnip drivers which makes ParaLLEl-RDP work, but I had no luck on RP5 while the guy who told me this was on 8Gen2.https://github.com/lim2222/RetroArch-Turnip
>>12800574Paper Mario 64 with Angrylion was full speed for me though the whole game on an SD8gen2, finished it last night.I tried Mupen64 Standalone, it still had some minor but very noticeable graphical glitches that bothered the fuck out of me way more than just playing it at native res using angrylion.The slowdowns I'm talking about are on Paper Mario TTYD on Dolphin, but it seems to be something that's just slow in general on Android (bounding box effects) due to incompatibility.
>>12800590Try ubershaders and vulkan, that tends to speed things up considerably on weaker chips. Maaaybe throw a mild underclock at it as a last resort, but you definitely shouldn't need it on a 8Gen2.

>>12799593It's not over..
>>12800631>>12800634Thanks, I'll take a look.
>>12800660>It's not over..
>>12800661You won't be disappointed with the Nova. It's a dream handheld.
Remember when everybody was obsessed over the Ayn Thor? Funny how that fad went away.
>>12800680I'll buy a dual screen handheld when they use the 2DS form factor. Don't trust those hinges.
>>12800680I still get like 10 new videos about the Thor every day on my youtube feed, but the algorithm probably knows that I have one.>>12800689Considering that you've been posting the same picture for a year, I would say it ended up being a non-issue.
>>12800665When it's done I'll decide.
>>12800715>Considering that you've been posting the same picture for a yearI've not been here for a year. Only started browsing /vr/ again a few weeks ago (used to browse it sometime back in 2012-2016).
>>12800037Brithelds?
>>12800721Point is that there was like 3 reports of hinge issues during the first batch and nothing after, so they probably fixed whatever it was.
I noticed retroarch has a core for PrBoom can I use this core to play doom mods such as Brutal Doom?
>>12800680It's because people quickly realized that Android is not at all suited to dual screen displays due to input lag. That or they realized how badly the ergonomics suffered compared to the Flip 2 and why Nintendo ultimately went with a thumb knub for the N3DS revision
>>12800680it's still the most popular chinkheld right now what are you talking about?
>>12800775>made up nonsenseMeanwhile in reality they are still selling it in batches because they can't keep it stocked.
>>12800775>It's because people quickly realized that Android is not at all suited to dual screen displays due to input lag.Input lag is not noticeable on these devices, you absolute austist.
>>12800610>Let it goThe two android handhelds are STILL coming... It was supposed to be this year, but there's nothing but radio silence. They're simply telling me don't worry, but I feel likeI should. >>12800738Open pandora. Gcw zero
>>12800481These new screens for "high end" trifold phones would make a great maid computer Bi-fold Clamshell™. If the overstock surplus screens from the 10.2", 16:11 aspect ratio Huawei Mate XT Ultimate or the 10", 4:3 Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold were used in a more durable taco-laptop or Tacotop™ design, I can see a reasonably priced, higher-end mini powerhouse portable in the near future.
>>12800660>>12791680But if the Powkiddy ODT did get 3D effect tate that would be quite the niche. Maybe they could go full-retard, and zig while everyone else zags. Making it a resistive touch screen as well? Why not? It's fantasy money to spend on one last custom-screened, over-powered-chip-having hurrah.
can sly 2 be properly emulated on the nova?
Redpill me on redmagic 10 pro
>>12800783That would be the 35xxsp and shart36s. Thor didn't even sell half those shits. Hell, all the h700slophelds are more known not counting the 34xx and cubexx.
>>12800850Good for gamehub if that's what you're asking. Has a fan if that bothers you. The rog controller is overpriced which is a shame since it's glided.
No reason to buy any other flashcart now for DS.
>>12800930Also consumes 8x less power than the original DSPico
>>12800930Sweet, IR sensor stuff for 4th and 5th gen Pokémon games finally possible on flash carts?Those DSPico are modular too iirc, should be possible to do the Bluetooth for Pokémon Typing Adventure too.
>>12800946Full IR stuff yeah
Should I install rocknix on my RP5? I know I can try it out without a hassle by installing on an SD but I'd like to hear some opinions.
>>12800861You are just wrong, the Ayn Thor review is the most viewed chinkshit handheld on Russ's channel and for 10 months in a row since release every single variant has been sold out immediately and you have to wait weeks before your pre order ships
>>12800989The thor is popular for handheld enthusiasts, and while it also has managed to break out of that niche a tiny bit, there is still a much larger market of relative normies who don't even know what an emulator is and buy the cheap thing that comes preloaded with a bunch of games they played as a kid.
>>12800997they literally can't make enough of them fast enough for 10 months in a row IDK what other metric you have to prove any other individual handheld comes close, if you lump together every anbernic handheld sure they've probably sold more. it's not like ayn/retroid are not able to source parts because their other handhelds are selling as normal
>>12801003>it's not like ayn/retroid are not able to source parts because their other handhelds are selling as normalExcept that is literally the reason why Thor sells out. Russ, who your referenced, recently went to their headquarters and they told him the Thor is extremely hard to source components for.
>>12800689It's a mold seam though. As has been confirmed by AYN who even shared the schematics for the whole thing.
Thor is for larper pretenders.
>>12800978No, you are forced to wipe android data whenever you resize storage. Once you're used to it and if you decide to, installing to internal will ask if you want to dump storage to internal so you can carry over your current install. Only real purpose to have it on internal is loading steam in under a minute, honestly. Also FYI, they're making their bootloader mandatory for current Nightlies on SM8250 and the next Stable release, it should flash painlessly but if you do run into any trouble ask them for help. Flashing or restoring ABL is pretty simple and non-destructive though, so while it may sound scary it's nothing to worry about, just a heads up.
omg I've been whining about pocketable handhelds with oled screens not existing for a while now. hopefully they don't fuck it up.
>>12801071>3.3 inchThe same size as the average OLED cucks cock.
When will Anbernic get around to making a game gear or nomad nostalgia handheld?
>glass frontnvm magicx are fucking retards
>>12801071Where did chink companies suddenly get the money for custom made screens? Before they were just scavenging for whatever old phone screens were cheap to mass order.
>>12801071A.I. wrote that shit.
Has anyone tried using a button mapper app alongside RetroArch? I want to set the Nova's M keys to save and load state while using a hotkey. Not sure why RetroArch doesn't allow mixing single keys and hotkey combinations.
>>12801118They didn't custom develop it, it's an A.I. hallucination.
>>12800790Fucking Russ noticed that the Thor had input lag on its second screen when it came out. Even the RG DS still has input lag of it's own that makes it suboptimal for games that require fast inputs on the bottom screen.
>>12801090They're falling for that meme too? One more reason to go retroid.
>>12801118it's still a scavenge. the oled assembly line is a giant slab of glass that the factory lets companies reserve, they reserved the small leftover parcel
>>12801165I think they fixed that, or it doesn't happen when in 120hz mode something like that. There are Linux options for the Thor but nobody uses them because it isn't as much of a problem like it is for the RG DS on android
>>12800871nice, I like these things, but I can only find the 12gb ram versionisn't the chipset too powerful to not be paired with 16gb? bruh
>>12801297You can’t “fix” android. The Linux isn’t there yet. It’s not a problem bc Thor is a title screen simulator
>>12801071Maybe they should work on ergonomics first before anything else
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imYCeIl0nNEIt's up
>>12800989>Whore shill>Views = salesEven acutal chink whorekeks knows h700 slop and shart36s clones sell more. You have to ignore logic to think otherwise.>>12801329By logic, you think redmagic would also include an SD slot but maybe even phone gaymers don't care anymore. Even the pocket play won't have expandable storage
>>12801184Retroid future releases will definitely still be glass. The nova is an optical illusion. >>12801416Steamos arm soon when the frame comes out....In 5 years.
has anyone got a nova yet? the retroid shipping schedule sounds atrocious
>>12800660>>12800834One day our day will come..And when it does... Oh shit..!
>>12801484But can it play ps2?
>>12801030Yeah, Endgame's the real dual screen ARM final boss.
>>12801071He's worse than the endgame guy. Does he at least have money? Or is he just fartin in the breeze?
ES-DE or Cocoon and why? Imagine price is no issue
>>12801659ES-DE, or Cannoli if you want something much simpler.Between Cocoon and ES-DE:>CocoonIt feels much more sluggish and bloated. It takes much longer to open. The setup process is also unnecessarily long.It defaults to a 2D tiled UI, which is a much more sane default since navigating a 2D tiled environment with a controller is far more efficient than a 1D list.Apparently it works great with dual-screen handhelds. I don't have one so I can't confirm this.I personally found some UI elements and some parts of the navigation too cumbersome or confusing. ES-DE can be "overwhelming" too, but at least everything is spelled out for you rather than being enigmatic icons whose functionality you must somehow intuit.>ES-DEIt's far more popular and can almost be seen as "the standard" launcher. It benefits from great documentation, a ton of 3rd party themes, and a ton of overall contribution to the project.It looks much prettier by default, but a 1D list is a terrible way to navigate unless you have only 3-4 systems. Luckily it is customizable as fuck so you can fix this very easily.It has the "simple mode" or "kid mode". This is good because it's what you should switch to after you've set up ES-DE. Once you've actually set up everything the way you want to, most UI elements become unnecessary.
>>12801504My June order just arrived two days ago.>>12801659>Imagine price is no issueYou don't have to pay if it is, very easy to install for free.
>>12801504It is. Either you ordered the thing alone and you get yours or you added accessories and you got sent all the way down the queue. I didn't think this would be Thor tier bad.t.supposed first batch Black 12GB buyer
New thread>>12801823>>12801823>>12801823
>>12800930Anyone know if these things work in the 3DS?
>>12801841I don't see why it wouldn't.
>>12801809yeah I heard black orderers got shafted. I was gonna get a black one but now eh...
I can get a brand new boxed launch gba for 99 usd should I?
