Does anyone have any recommendations for rg 40xx H? I'm planning to buy it
I think people are overhyping the Duo Lite too much. It’s $50 more than the DS Plus, yet it>doesn’t integer scale>can’t play 3DS>isn’t OLEDThe only benefits I can see are the ability to play PSP and maaaybe better battery life, and we don’t even know that latter point for sure. If you already have a Mangmi or an RP5, I’d still say the DS Plus is better for DS
posting in new thread, should I get the Nova or Duo if I already have an RP5 and Thor?
>>12809291log off and play games
>>12809287RK3566 refresh can't run anything, anbernic domeswitch buttons are horrible, 1GB can't run shit. Were I a cheapskate in the market for a clamshell, I'd gladly pay the difference. >If you already have a Mangmi or an RP5, I’d still say the DS Plus is better for DSWho the fuck is shopping for these scams while having a real chinkheld? Are they stupid?
>>12809282fpbp
Every so often I think I want a handheld, but then a make a window on my PC the same size as the handheld I want and all the desire goes away because that shit is just too small.
>>12809283its fine, you might see complaints about it heating up but I've never felt it, probably because I don't try and force it to punch above its weight with Dreamcast and stuff. Feels pretty good too because its rounded and flat
>>12809303viewing distance is a thing
>>12809306I put my face at the same viewing distance the handheld would be.
>>12809282>Crackcels [Headcanon]>Vertslop [Headcanon not counting the shart36s]>4:3 horizonchads wo- [Only the 406h]>16:9 horikino? Still the most maded chinkheldPOW? Kiddes.>>>12809295>He thinks retroon's switches are better than anbernig'sExhibit A.>1gb cant play shit>For fucking drastic and ppssppUh oh, stinky! The retroondittor be shartin his lies!
>>12809303>>12809309so you never had a Game Boy or anything?
not that anon, but I also never had a gameboy or anything. It was just not a thing here. Back in the 00s I experienced the glory of the gba through the VBA emulator on a CRT monitor from the 90s.>>12809303This is how it looks making a window in my notebook screen, considering some 16:9 screen. I took the measurements in cm from google.Its not that bad, but not sure if its worth the money, considering that I can already run an emulator on the notebook, in the first place. I will try a smaller screen next.
if you've never had a handheld, and don't see the appeal of a handheld then yeah, don't buy a handheld
>>12809287>>isn’t KEKOLEDthat's A Good Thing
>>12809348holy shit, now this is getting too small, if I got it right, but still looks playable.
>>12809303the posters in this thread are reaching levels of retarded that shouldn't be even possible
>>12809365it might be better to use retrosizer in OP to get a better idea on how these look
>>12809283I would strongly recommend getting the Miniloong Pocket 1 instead, it is much better for only slightly more money and it still runs linux
>>12809287>It can't play 3DSThey showed that they can handle non intensive shit.
>>12809295>Who the fuck is shopping for these scams while having a real chinkheld?Playing DS on a single screen always feels wrong, there’s no way around it. I’ve seen people on Reddit that want the DS Plus even though they have a Nova, because they literally just want it for DS, and think spending extra on a Duo is redundant.
>>12809384>I’ve seen people on Reddit thatYeah...>>12809348>>12809365Use the first link on OP, dumbass.
>>12809303now try playing on that while lying down on the couch in the other room, or at the park, or on a train.
I really feel like I'm "done" with this hobby for a while. Between an Odin 2 Portal and now a Nova, all of my bases are covered. I also use Moonlight/Sunshine to stream from my PC, so I can't think of anything I'd want to play that I can't already run.
>>12809457Um, you need a dualscreen from DS/3DS...
>>12809473Try Greenport Fire's Lucille sauce. Also, Melinda's ghost pepper hot honey is great if you haven't tried it yet.
>>12809287I agree. You can't have a device which looks great for both DS and 3DS without some sort of compromise with for resolutions or ergonomics. The duo also has the speakers at the bottom meaning muffled audio
>>12809484I got a gift set of Melinda's recently and started with the Habanero and loved it, gotta try the hotter ones.Not a big fan of hot honey though, I've tried it a number of times in different ways and it doesn't click.
>>12809485The ergonomic issue I imagine should eventually get solved years down the road when cheaper more efficient chips allow the devices to shed more weight and thickness.The actual DS/3DS get by on comfort due to being light and thin enough for any odd grip to not be straining.
can AI anon make a hot sauce based handheld plz
>>12809496It's gotta have a sauce dispenser and a scoville gauge or dial

>>12809367>Not coomsooming is retardedSee?
Pre-order tomorrow
>>12809526>strawmanning and projecting and/or being an ESL retard to retarded levels isn't retardedyeah, i see alright
>>12809538Weren't people saying this wouldn't ship until feburary
>>12809582I'm sure it'll ship in as timely a fashion as the Nova.
>>12809538they really want to strike while the irons hot that's good, but the duo had a terrible looking top half in the prototype footage I hope they fix that before release
>>12809291im downgrading from the thor to duo. i only played 3ds/psp games so the extra horsepower was a waste. also if you sell your thor atm you can prob sell at a profit compared to what you bought it for.
>>12809582The product page says it starts shipping mid-October. How long it'll actually take to get to people's hands is a different story though, can't trust what they say.
>>12809538kinda lost on which color to get. tempted by "ice blue" which looks like mint greenish to me. but i will look like a clown carrying something that bright around. also fuck them for not having more pictures of the different colors.
Wish retroid didnt insist on 16-bit, gamecube, and ice blue every fucking time. Why can't we have the G2 colors like teal and yellow?
>>12809663I like red and it's always a toss up whether they're going to have it or not.
>>12809663I wish they would do black and red, this is still the best looking handheld ever
I wish their GC button colors was actually accurate to the placement of the GameCube's buttons. The position of the colors that they choose just isn't accurate to how cross-platform games mapped THEIR buttons back in the day.>green A should be on the bottom, red B on the left, Y on the top, and X on the right>Instead they use SFC layout and match the colors to the lettersugh
>>12809676Poorfag colors.
>>12809485With a pocketable handheld you inherently have to make compromises somewhere. As for a potential lack of dual integer scaling on DS, I don't think it'll impact Retroid users considering they weren't even able to notice that the Pocket Mini's original screen wasn't even a proper 960p originally.
>Be me>Heard the news about the new Retroid Duo>Look up info>Lite version has the equivalent of an SD665>In the big 2026Okay.But why.
>>12809792It's a budget option.
>>128097671. ds isn't retro2. you don't have to make any compromises for pocketability as a retro chinkheld (and i say chinkheld with the utmost disrepect to snack&drink and his asian children) gamer, the rg35xxh exists and covers all possible use cases while being the most pocketable chinkheld this side of the 28xx3. simple as
>>12809806>ds isn't retro>released 20+ years agoIt is, in fact, retro.
>>12809814retro is not an arbitrary function of an arbitrary number of years passed, thends is a 4th generation modern era system
>>12809805There's also the asterisk that needs to be brought up, being that it's a "budget" option considering the ongoing RAM and memory crisis due to AI.
>>12809815>retro isn't about age, it's about an arbitrary "generation" definition that I decided on
>>12809805>149 dollars for a device with an SD665 and 4g of RAMThey could have done better than this even for a budget device.
>>12809663I really wish we had like a Saturn (Gray Japanese Model 1) or PSX themed retro handheld for once, I’m so fucking tired of them always using GC and SNES (USA & EU/JP) colors.
>>12809815>retro is not an arbitrary function of an arbitrary number of years passedIt quite literally is.>4th generation modern era systemDo you think people 25-30 years ago considered the N64 and PS1 to be "retro"? Of course they didn't, because "retro" refers to things that are old in terms of "years passed"."Retro" is not a real, quantifiable thing. It is something defined by the opinions of people. 99.9% of people generally agree on one (or multiple) of the following making a product "retro":1. It is at least 2 decades old. (Most people agreeing on the 15-20 range as a minimum)2. It is at least 2 generations behind the current generation. (Specifically for products or product categories that only push 1 or 2 "generations" per decade)3. It stopped being sold or supported at least 5-15 years ago. (Largely depends on how long the product was supported)4. If you are now a fully grown adult (24-32 years old), then anything that was released in your childhood (when you were 0-12 years old) is retro.5. The current generation has a major technological shift in standards, internal architecture, I/O compared to it.6. Its cost in the secondary market is retained or is increasing, unlike old/obsolete products which are cheaper and getting cheaper over time.Effectively everyone agrees that anything that is at least 20 years old is retro, while many if not most people think that things that are 12-19 years old can also be considered retro.Seeing how the NDS is 20+ years old and also fits most if not all of the definitions of "retro" above, it absolutely is a retro system. In fact, so are the following:>7th gen home consoles (PS3, Wii, Xbox360), and at the very minimum all the games that were released on these consoles within the first year.>Windows XP, Vista, and all the PC hardware released right up to the point of the release of Vista. Also, at the very minimum, all PC games released up until the release of Vista.
>>12809283>RG40XXHWill straight up melt if you're unlucky like that one Amazon reviewer.
>>12809894Don't waste your breath man, people just don't want to admit when they're old.
>>12809283I have one.>Powering it on sometimes requires you to hold the reset button first, and then hold the power button.>It does not have a sleep function. You have to do full shutdowns between gaming sessions if those gaming sessions are more than a day apart. Most ROMs do have an auto-save on shutdown feature.>Performance is a hit or miss depending on the ROM. People love recommending muOS but it has worse PS1 and PSP performance compared to stock OS, rocknix and knulli.>It ships with bad SD cards that risk getting corrupted in less than a year of active use. So consider that it will cost $10 extra. Keep your saves and settings on your fresh/good SD card.All these issues affect other Anbernic devices that use the same chipset. So all the XX devices plus some extra ones like the new RG SP.
>>12809898in the cases of 1 guy with a device that melted he probably left it on in his bag and didn't realize then blamed the chineseium. the amount of times I've almost cooked a handheld by not suspending it properly makes me think its pretty easy to do
>>12809960A non-shit device would automatically shut down when exposed to high temperatures.
>>12809991>my device has to be non-shit because.....IT JUST DOES, OK?!??
>>12809960Is it possible for it to turn itself on, if the buttons bump into something inside of a bag? How hard it is for that to happen?
>>12809561>Reddit spacing>Defends coomsoomerismYep. He's squirting bloody anal liquid >>12809756>Gaycube and shartnes colors out of thin air
>Confirmed>We're preparing these items for shipping.
>poonigger can’t tell the difference between a phone screen and a computer monitor>has a melty when other anons explain that they’re different>starts going into his scat fetish for no reasonWhy can’t every board be highly moderated like /a/? It would force these retards to adapt or die.
>>12809894>It quite literally is.it literally isn't. you don't understand what retro means
>>12809830it's not an arbitrary generation definition, it is a very rigorously defined one with a static and unchanging set of parameters that everyone who isn't a retarded zoomoidal understands inherently
>>12810130Explain it then. Why was 6th gen not considered retro when this board started, but recently now it is? What changed?
>>12810132>I don’t HAVE to explain it, you just gotta feel the vibes!What is this foid-coded language doing in my 4chan board? Buddy, I know the whole “retro is when we didn’t have modern gaming poison like live services or microtransactions or DLC or blah blah blah” idea, but the Nintendo DS didn’t have any of those things; it is as classic-styled gaming as the GBA was. It is both objectively old, and is built like older systems that ARE considered retro. So if you want to tell the majority of the world that they’re wrong, and that it ISN’T retro, you have to explain why.
Hey guys, I'm new to the whole handheld scene and I'm looking to buy just one. Im torn between the Odin Portal 2 and the Retroid Nova. Im mainly looking to play PS2 and GC games as well as some indie titles like Balatro, Silksong, Slay the Spire, Issac, etc. Im leaning towards the Nova since the 4:3 screen looks great and the size of the device is to my liking but I'm worried ill run into some problems if I want to expand my game collection. Should I go for the Nova or play it safe and go for the Odin Portal 2?
>>12810134>>12810137Ignore the fucking troll. This is correct >>12809894 and the troll is just being retarded on purpose.
>>12809291Stop buying shit you don't need you dumb tranime coomer, use what you have and upgrade to something in 2-3 years that will be meaningfully superior
>>12810139Just go for the Nova. The Portal 2 has a larger battery, but is chunkier and heavier. It does have a larger display, but that means it will need more power to scale things to match the native display resolution (and it cannot really scale most of the PS2 library to 1080p)
Why does the RG DS take so long to charge? I swear the XX devices only took an hour or two
Duo Lite is scheduled to begin shipping on 9/17/26Duo is scheduled to begin shipping mid-October
>>12810151>Implying he'll need to upgrade in 2-3 yearsAnd retroondittors/anberniggers say they're not coomlectors>>12810158Rockshit problems. It was like this since the rk3128
>>12810152Makes sense, thanks anon!
>>12810181crazy shipping the lite earlier to make handheld autists buy both
>>12810134becuase this board and site are run by glownigger kikes, it is their job to do disinfo, much like you are doing because you are also a kike
>>12810213>Kikes leh bad. Even tho they can rape little daddy kinda fuckbois
>>12809917Thanks for the tips, I have no idea about the OS stuff tho. I'm mostly going to play snes and ps1 games
>>12810182Upgrading in 2-3 years is reasonable, buying 4 devices per year isn't
>>12810225Upgrading FOUR years depending on device is reasonable. Updates don't raoe these things like phones
>>12810195they definitely rushed the lite version out the door to compete with ambernig
>>12810237why can't they just ship my ayn thor instead
>>12809282>4:3 horizontal chads WON (Nova)We lost because they turned the Mini into yet another rectangle
>>12809473+ Up Vote>>12809538So... will this thing at least work on X4 in MelonDS?
>>12810195consoomers with more money than sense deserve to get milked like that, if it works for apple it works for the chinese.
>>12810225Upgrading in 2-3 years was reasonable when devices were getting noticeably more powerful. Unless emulators get some revolutionary updates I don't see a reason to get anything more powerful than an SD8gen2, in 2-3 years I might just be getting replacement batteries for my current handhelds instead. Devices are more constrained by compatibility than power currently.
>>12810139>between the Odin Portal 2 and the Retroid NovaI have both, it really depends on what you're looking for. The Portal is great for anything modern, particularly games with text. But it feels too big for some systems like GBA, and it's bulky to take out of the house. Nova appropriately sized for everything and feels more comfy and portable. But the screen is nowhere near as nice as the Portal. Also consider the control layouts. Nova is better for primarily d-pad, Portal is better for modern stick games.It's still early, but the Nova has already become my primary handheld for emulation. I mostly use the Portal for streaming PC games.
Only Atari 2600 and older are retro to me.
how much of an improvement would the Nova be over my RP5 for retro games?
>>12810364A big improvement if your definition of retro includes gamecube and ps2.
>>12810247Not enough high-end clamshells in the market. They got overwhelmed by buyers because there were no other alternatives, just Thor. It's still going be a pain because the Duo is still significantly weaker than the Thor, but the Duo at least helps bridge the gap for people who desperately want something stronger than an RG DS. With the exception of Thor and Nova, this whole market hates putting powerful chipsets in small handhelds for some reason.
>>12810370I'd rather play Gamecube and PS2 on my ROG Xbox Ally X because dual stick games aren't great on small handhelds I've found so far
>>12810370rp5 can play ps2 fine at 2x, any game it can't run properly is because of the emulator not the chipset
>>12810386If it still chugs on a game after decades of emulator development, it's not ever going to be fixed by the emulation devs. That means you have to buy a more powerful handheld whether you want to use flowery language or not
>>12809538Pre-ordering anything is fucking retarded and you get what you deserve if you fall for this tactic.>Pre-ordered Diablo 3
>>12810406ps2 android emulation has not been worked on for decades it's been like 4 years and there's a difference between chugs and not working properly, the ps2 android emulator offerings are all half finished and have problems people run multiple builds depending on the game even on the strongest hardware.
>>12810410Unlike Americans, the Chinese always fix their fuckups for free if you send it back to them, so who cares?
>>12810418I still wonder why no one else bothered to pick up where the AetherSX2 dev left off, unless he was the only autist that knew what he was doing.
Is transparent plastic weaker? I kind of want a Ice Blue Duo, but I'm worried about this.
>>12809582My July 21 pre-order is closing in on two months. You're not seeing this anytime soon.
>>12810446The transparent models were weaker on the RP Flip 1 but stronger on the Flip 2. So there's no telling how it's going to turn out on the Duo until like 6 months after people have theirs.
>>12809641You'll look like a clown no matter how you slice it, pick the one you want.
>>12810450I guess I'm just going to gamble
>>12810406>If it still chugs on a game after decades of emulator development, it's not ever going to be fixed by the emulation devs.No, it actually is. PS2 emulators have basically not been worked on on ARM/Android for years. The work on PS2 emulation only recently picked up the pace again with ARMSX2. Older versions of PS2 emulators were doing PS2->x86->ARM translation in many places, which was inefficient as fuck. And a lot of direct PS2->ARM translation was improperly done because developers had no idea how ARM works. Devs only recently started actually diving deep into ARM and found that several places in the code were 3x-20x less efficient because people implementing that code didn't know ARM well.>>12810441Picking up another persons' code is not as simple as you think unless you were already involved in the project.
>>12810454gamers truly are the most oppressed race in the world. what a clown world we live in.
Duo or Ayn Thor?
>>12810536use case?
>>12810536Budget = duoBig dick gaming gamer = thor
>>12810536sold my thor. boughting duo. bigger bottom screen is p good.
>>12810545matching screen sizes at 4:3 is also a perk
>>12810547i tend to play 4:3 games with a crt filter on my pc. but yeah 4:3 is better than whatever the thor was doing.
>>12810536I have a Thor, but I'm really tempted to replace it with a Duo because of the bigger bottom screen and having them be the exact matching size both top and bottom when playing DS like >>12810545 and >>12810547 pointed out. I know it's less powerful but I don't really play Switch or PC games that often anyway.
>>12810572I think the regular duo will be enough for GC/PS2/3DS and below I already own a thor but I think I'm gonna get a duo too
>>12810307>>12810231In 2 years we will have 240hz OLED screens as standard. It will enable CRT beam shaders and shit.
>>12810576>I think the regular duo will be enough for GC/PS2/3DS and belowEasily. The 865 already handles those okay and the chip in the Duo is around 33% better in performance. I can't see much reason to own a Thor unless you're really into PC games on Gamenative and even then, indie stuff is the only stuff I've played on it so far and the Duo should still do fine with those.
>>12810364Clearly you're a retard who blows up GBA games to fuckhuge sizes so buy whatever you want.
>>12810572Imagine fucking using a Thor for DS and 3DS games instead of real hardware.I have a Thor but I mostly play old PC games on it, and those DS games where the second screen is just a map or some shit like Castlevania or Chrono Trigger. For those it's an upgrade over a DSi XL, but for actual dual screen or touch games it's shit.
>>12810585Thor has a larger top screen right? And battery life is pretty good.
>>12810576>I already own a thor but I think I'm gonna get a duo tooYou "people" need help.
>>12810595>Thor has a larger top screen rightYeah, that's another downgrade if I switch but I've had a Flip 2 before and I'm fine with 5.5.>And the battery life is pretty goodIt's alright but I'm hoping the newer chip on the Duo will be even more efficient.
>>12810598I think the smaller bottom screen is ideal for GB GBC GBA games. Looks great in a darker room with just the stick lights and the GBA screen magically floating on the glass.
>>12810597Get a job loser
>>12810536Duo has dpad on top which you'll be using for all DS games and like 80% of 3DS games. It's funny that the Duo Mario Kart 7 gameplay Retroid posted has shills shitposting about handcramps with the analog on bottom
>>12810676Scholars are still trying to figure out why stick on top fags get hand cramps on their left hand but not their right.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDtGGd2LcScIs there anything more reddit than wanting stick on top of a DS device?
>>12810682Sticks are more ergonomic than D-Pads. Literally the superior option.
Wait for the Thor 2.
>>12810704me when I'm a faggot
>>12810706Enjoy your inferior experience I guess.
>I want a device for retro games but I want the control space cramped and the analog on top>I want a cramped dual screen device with analog on top without an ergonomic controller grip to play PS2 and above games????
>>12810730Ideally the D-pad wouldn't even be there and you'd just use the analog for everything.
>>12810736analogs are garbage for games with digital inputs
>>12810747I never had an issue. Analog is just much easier to use even in "D-pad games". I'm literally playing through LoZ link to the past using analog to move right now.

>Jewey called the lack of glass on the Duo a negativelol
>>12810780Are you Asian
>>12810816could you BE a more obvious sour grapes poorfag?
>>12810880Obviously not. Asians are making these handhelds and they keep falling for the D-pad meme.
>>12810816Eventually you realize he's not being provocative, he really is that stupid.
>>12810882There is nothing "premium" about smudges all over a glass panel.
Can we just let go of the pocketability meme already and make ONE handheld with decent grips? Please?
>>12810982Sad that no handheld has still surpassed the Logitech G-Cloud in terms of ergonomic comfort. Even sadder that the G-Cloud is a piece of shit in every other way besides that aspect.
>>12810982No FUCK off, there's plenty of bulky unwieldy pieces of shit on the market already, buy one and shut your ass. You're already being catered to with both handhelds with grips, and handhelds without grips too, because slim pocketable devices can have grips added to them later. Doesn't matter that it usually requires a separate purchase, at least you have the option. On the flipside, systems without grips in the design can't be slimmed down to become pocketable. You have way more options than we do cuntface, so I don't want to hear it.
>>12810994Shut up, retard. None of the shit you call pocketable is pocketable, you're just ruining otherwise good things with your stupidity.
Does anyone know if Rocknix has switched to using ARMSX2?
>>12810982Removable grips are a reasonable compromise. For example, Nova flat back + official grip covers both use cases.>>12810992>no handheld has still surpassed the Logitech G-CloudGlad to find someone else who thinks this. I moved from a G-Cloud to an Odin 2 Portal, and the comfort of the G-Cloud is the one thing I miss. It was the perfect shape and a lot lighter than the Portal with a grip.

>>12811049I swapped out the flat back plate with the grip one on my Retroid Pocket Nova and I find it a lot more comfortable now. Didn't get the removable grip handle accessory but I might consider it.I like that the carry case is designed for both back plates too.

>>12811049>>12811278This is probably the best solution. The problem is that unlike RAM selection or thumbstick placement you can't just ask for it to be installed with one or the other out of the box. You have to pay extra just because some moron (Russ) decided to not make it the "default", and now you have to spend time disassembling their piece of shit plastic case screwed on with the force of a thousand suns which is guaranteed to damage the front case, rather than just selecting it as an option.And many have pointe out it doesn't make much sense anyway because retroid loves putting fat analog triggers that don't let you put anything in your pocket even with the default case on it.

For people who do use Rocknix or Gamenative or the like, how do you set up stuff like mod managers? As in, running other executables under a certain game's wineprefix.Afaik something like Rocknix doesn't exactly have a desktop mode or Protontricks etc, which is what I use on my Steam Deck, so how *do* people do it?

You can take a flat system and make it fat with an aftermarket grip, which is inconvenient but you have the option. I can't take a fat system and make it flat no matter how much money I spend. You literally have more options. As I already pointed out.

I have a flip 2 and a 3ds, should I get a nova or duo
>>12811624Some self-control.
>>12811239u guys should all do this it really is faster now
16 bit or gc duo?
16 bit gc ds looks weird
>>1281168116-bit makes more sense for Duo / Lite, there's a SFC / PAL SNES style New 3DS XL.I got the GC Nova and love it.
>>12811717>>12811685cheers
>>12811624I have a dsixl, and 3dsxl and a new3dsxl and I boughtedmainly got it because I want a replacement for original hardware. mh4u feels ass to play and my the circle pad on my new3dsxl is kinda fucked anywayalthough i think itll be nice to use the bottom screen for 4:3 emulation, i mean, it's the exact same display that's on the nova right?still gonna stick with my dsixl for ds games though, since unlike the 3ds line, the build quality is actually really nice on it
Feels like the pocket duo is only a slight upgrade / side grade to the thor lite at the same price. You are basically trading a larger primary screen for a 4:3 bottom screen and the top 5.5 matching aspect ratios when playing ds games. Bit underwhelming desu.
>>12811239>>12811676What handheld?
>>12811784That seems like a good tradeoff desu. A bigger bottom screen which also matches the top screen in size, plus a faster chip. What's the problem?
>>12811792There no problem, the device is just not that interesting desu. I prefer having a bigger primary screen even if doesn't match, there are only a few notable games I can think of that use the screen in a way that need them to be the same size.
ds is a meme library, 3ds and vita are nonexistent libraries, ds nostalgia is retarded, also not retro
>>12811845>not retroIt is. See >>12809894
4:3 is God's chosen aspect ratio and you will respect it.
>>12811882>makes your God (4:3) and Satan (16:9) action figures make out by choosing 3:2 or 16:10 aspect ratio(:<
>>12811784also the ergonomics look way worse, bigger bottom screen means everything is packed super tight.
We must not consoom the Duo. They haven't even given people their Novas yet

>least LARPing DS fan
>>12812001There are some DS games that play fine on the One 35, but there's definitely some where another device is preferable.
>>12811952But enough about (you).
Emulation noob here. What are the correct settings for proper integer scaling on the Nova? I have it on but it's giving me black borders which I thought the point of its 1280x960 screen is to eliminate those. What am I doing wrong?
>>12812054the core provided aspect ratio is probably trying to 8:7
>>12811570>Did RetroArch updateDid you install through the Play store or Obtanium? I know some here will disagree, but this is why I grab the .APK and install manually. No updates unless I need or want them.
>>12812069It did it on its own, I got it from the Play Store.It sucked having to setup a few of the things that broke, but now I'm happy with it, just a bummer that my exaggerated glow/bloom/halation shaders suddently run worse, they were usually mocked, but I loved how they looked. Anyways I liked how the UI looks now with the few additions made, and the shaders I'm using now are pretty cool too, loving ZFast CRT.
>>12812059I forced it to 4:3 and it's still the same thing. And with Xenogears it's got black bars on the top and bottom. Driving me crazy I'm not even sure what I'm doing wrong.
>>12812072>It did it on its own, I got it from the Play Store.Yeah, that's because you got it from the Play Store. Not only will the Play Store auto-update apps without warning, the version of RetroArch on there isn't even current.
>>12812054Thin black bars at the top and bottom are normal. SNES games and many PSX games are 224 pixels tall, not 240
>>12809960He said it caught on fire while charging the battery. Pic related
Thor won
>>12812054SNES games when integer scaled won't fill the Nova's 4.5" 1280x960 screen, since they're 256x224.The "screens" util linked in the OP copypasta helps to identify which systems scale perfectly or well on a given handheld.Most typical handhelds and consoles integer scale very well, but if you need the screen to be filled you've got to use a good shader that helps balance the pixels whilst maintaining the "look" of sharp square pixels whilst minimising shimmering. The 960p screen is good enough to achieve that.
>>12812054First you turn off integer scaling, then you find your interpolation shader of choice to even it out. Sharp-shimmerless is a good non-intrusive one.
How powerful is the RP Duo?
>>12812054>>12812124Shaders is specifically one of the strong suits of the Nova, when I get around to setting up ES-DE and Retroarch I want to try using this crt-gdv-mini-ultra + crt beam emulator shader that was shown in the Retro Game Corps video.There's an two hour long guide video I need to go through at some point, but right now I'm just trying out Dolphin and GameNative stuff.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lD4LYUrVgMI was trying to get Spark the Electric Jester to run via GameNative last night, but that game is difficult to get running properly because it's built in Clickteam Fusion 2.5. The default config had a black screen, and changing the DX wrapper would produce graphics but the performance was abysmal.Changing the Wine Proton version to something 86_64 helped with the performance, but the game was running at half speed without taxing the system resources due to what appears to be an emulation or configuration issue that I still haven't solved after a few hours trying to troubleshoot it with Gemini.I was able to figure out manually modding the game though, there's a "Spark the Electric Jester Recharged" mod that greatly improves the native Windows desktop experience and fixes a number of bugs.
>>12812130better than Thor Lite but worse than Thor Base
>>12812108....the hand cramping when actually playing DS games award....
>>12812130Better than Anbernig, worse than the Thor
>>12812094charging with what cable and charger, and doing what else at the same time? retard was probably playing dreamcast at high resolution with slathered shaderslop while charging with a 12 amp c to c cable and a 1000 watt charger like a turbo sped
>>12812130Somewhere between the Snapdragon 865 and 8 Gen 2.
>>12812130Better than the miyoo mini, worse than the Odin 3
Is melon Ds realy that much better than drastic? I remember playing drastic on my phone years ago and I never noticed any emulator or graphical issues but maybe I just didn't notice them.
>>12812132I normally shit talk shaders and think they are gay but that's a really good example and I think it looks great on the right.
>>12812124So DS and PSP are gonna be tiny and gay? Is that what this means?
>>12812130not powerful enoughi'm baffled they put the 8 gen 2 inside the nova but went with the 865 successor for the duo. just a boneheaded move, or more likely, they don't want to undercut AYN. it's a dealbreaker for me.
>>12812295They're the same company, how many times does this need to be said? Of course they're not going to step on their own toes.>but the Duo makes the Thor Lite irrelevantThe Thor Lite is the least popular SKU anyway, they're probably glad they have a reason to discontinue it now.
>>12812301yeah i know, which is why i think it's stupid. and it's also why i think AYN is likely to announce the refresh for the Thor immediately after this fomo preorder cycle before the holidays. it's probably better to just wait for that one, since it'll have the nova's screen
>>12812306>"im waiting"nigga is waiting forever
is interger scale a dealbreaker?
>>12812415No
>>12811765I have a DSi XL and a N3DS XL, I bought a Thor but I kinda regret it. It only taught me that nothing can beat the original hardware.Well I do use it for some games like Phoenix Wright, but it's very limited, any game that requires zero latency or a lot of touch is just much better on the DSi XL. And I actually like the 3D effect and the emulator has fucking stutter on 3DS games due to shader compilation so 3DS games I play on the 3DS.Best use of Thor is playing Game Boy or Advance games on the bottom screen and watching ecelebs on top.
>>12812276Well, if you're aiming for proper integer scaling, then yes.You can always just scale the image above the resolution of your display, which will make the image fit your display but it would not be pixel perfect scaling (some lines would be squished).Alternatively, you could use some LCD or CRT shaders (or pixel correction shaders) and fuck around with certain parameters. Sometimes this can help filling in the gaps if you don't mind the image being transformed a little.
>>12811602>Reddit spacing. The ultimate sign of an esl buzzwarrior>>12812157>Defending anbernig's bombs
>>12812428im mostly getting the duo as hopefully a replacement for my 3ds3ds didn't have a whole lot of touch screen gimmick games, at least none that I was interested inso the duo should be good for the games I actually want to play, like monster hunter, fantasy life, oot remake and various turn based gamesalso my only other handhelds are a steam deck and a vita, so itll be nice to have a small device that can run gamenative and do ps2/gamecube emu
>>12812457I think shader stutter really destroys the experience especially when you have the real hardware on hand. Also the 3D effect will obviously be missing. If your new 3ds XL has an IPS top screen, that thing looks amazing 3D or not. Will it even integer scale to the duo?
>>12812464apparently you can pre compile the shaders
Russ said the RG DS Plus gets warm, i hope its warm to the point where it gets annoying / uncomfortable like with the brick
>>12812467idk, the lack of 3d and the non integer scaling still sound like shitI can understand if you have a shitty 3DS model with TN panelsBut an IPS n3ds XL is just superior in my opinionThe Thor is really good for old PC games though, depending on the soc in the duo it might be too
>>128124793D is just a gimmick you turn on for 20 seconds say "cool" and the turn off, repeat this for every game you play at least once
>>12812492I've been using 3D for 100% of my play time since I bought the fucking thing in 2016The people who say it's a gimmick were using the old shitty pre-new3ds version where you had to hold your head completely motionless for it to work, or just have shit eyesight without depth perception
Why are handhelds with asymmetrical sticks always so huge (and expensive)?This sucks.
>>12812272Yeah, and this is for a small high DPI display too, so it should look even better on the actual OLED screen.>>12812276You shouldn't really be trying to play DS or PSP games on a 4:3 display in the first place.Although with the limited GameNative stuff I've been doing on my Nova so far, a couple indie widescreen platformers looked surprising fine.You can also dock the system with 16:9 video output anyway, Nova supports 4k60 according to the Dock packaging.
>>12812497Anbernic has some mid-sized ones in the $150 range and you might be able to find them cheaper.
'Troid Nova was aaalllmost there, but they had to add bezels. Ruined.
>>12812497get a job
>>12812470Russ said he's a fucking faggot and you shouldn't listen to faggots
>>12812520Jokes aside isn't Russ a furry? He was also in the navy...
>>12812497They're not huge enough if anything. They should all be controller shaped.
>>12812494I don't know man, i have a top ips n3dsxl and I barely use the 3d featurenot a lot of games make much use of it anyway. most youll get is the hud popping out a bit although does the duo have 2 cameras? could you even use them for stuff like the bravely default intro in an emulator? if not that's a actual reason to stick with real hardware for me
>>12812534It has 0 cameras
>>12812501>You shouldn't really be trying to play DS or PSP games on a 4:3 display in the first place.PSP is fine actually, Nova is a good size for it.
>>12812501>You shouldn't really be trying to play DS or PSP games on a 4:3 display in the first place.Nonsense. Most PSP models supported TV-out and 4:3 TVs were extremely popular back then, basically the standard aspect ratio. Nobody ever thought 4:3 is "bad" for containing PSP games. The "muh pixel-perfect bezelless scaling and shaders" autism is a totally new mental concept, but it is nothing more than an autistic desire for subjective perfectionism. Just do a non-integer upscale, ignore the remaining black bars (or stretch the video output to fill in the black bars) and play the game for fucks sake.
>>12812536in that case im glad i have original hardware to fall back onstill don't see how the duo or the thor for that matter isn't going to be a vastly superior experience compared to original hardware for most of the library the ds library had loads of gimmicky experimental stuff that was actually worth playing, but the 3ds not so much
>>12812567Today I was playing pushmo on my 3ds, I tried turning off the 3D and it was a lot worse for itAlso the super mario 64 port with 60fps and 3D is fucking sickBut in games where 3D is truly shit like ace attorney, sure go ahead and emulate if you're blind and don't mind the fucked up non integer scaling
>>12812242Drastic is actually more accurate and more performant, the "problem" is that it doesn't have retroachievements support and that you can only upscale to 2x.
>>12812601Also no LCD shaders
>>12812601>the "problem" is that it doesn't have retroachievements supportThis is one of the bigger points I've learned to consider when seeing any discussion of RetroArch cores, setup guides, and standalone emulator preferences. I'd wager the majority of people don't care about achievements, but nearly everyone who makes guides or has a strong opinion does.
>>12812602it does have them actually
>>12812242It is better in the sense of it being open source rather than proprietary. So not only are there more people theoretically working on it, shit like this >>12812601 (lack of upscale options, lack of shaders, using it as a core in RetroArch, etc.) are extremely easy to implement. Like, even if you're not a programmer you would be able to modify Drastic to support more than 2x upscale if it were open source.
>>12812615drastic went open source like 2 years ago because the dev got scared with the citra shutdown, also the same reason it's free when it used to be paid.
>>12812512>actually wants bezeless glass shit
>>12812617Do you even verify if what you're saying is true before hitting the "Post" button?>drastic went open source like 2 years agoNo, it didn't. It became free on the Play Store, nothing else. The dev said it will become open source, but it never did and the dev basically disappeared.
>>12812497because asym sticks is gay and retarded, just like yoh
I turn off integer scaling and use a handheld shader.DS looks great to me.
Hey I'm new to this emulation device hobby.Is the Trimui Brick still a good recommendation?I don't own one of these devices yet and want something portable and not too expensive that I can easily carry around with me.
>>12812754Well, I like the Brick. Small, low profile device you can toss in a bag.
>>12812771I think it runs Linux? Is there any fundamental differences between an Android and a Linux device for emulation purposes?
Is there like an all-in-one pack to download all of Russ's configs?If not there should be, a pack with all the emulators and configs already done that you just toss onto your device.
>>12812773I don't notice a difference between my Android device and my Linux device, but other anons here will say Android is has some input lag. If there is a difference, it'd be Linux that provides the better experience according to them. I'm not even sure if there is an Android handheld that's in the same price range as something like the Brick. The specs to run Android kind of block it off from the lower price point range. Closest that comes to mind is the Ayaneo Pocket Air Mini, but that's hitting $100+.
>>12812754I'n my opinion no because its cramped to the point of being uncomfortable
>>12812773android has lag, linux has a shit ton of battery drain in sleep mode
>>12812660what DS games are there where the second screen really doesn't matter/doesn't show anything of value?
>>12812771>>12812803Thanks that's really helpful.>>12812807>>12812808Which devices would you recommend instead?
>>12812641>Kektendo/Shiiiiiitny shill still brick breacked over the xBAWX
>>12812773android has far better battery.After a year of using a cheap linux handheld you'll need to charge it after every use.Apparently lag is worse on Android? I probably mostly play jrpgs so never notice it, though I do occasionally play platformers and racers and you just can't tell.I don't think dual screen lag is where it should be at the moment to be honest.
>>12812773lagdroid has the overhead of lagdroid and the slowness of being made from java and its endless namespace bloat
pretty sure run ahead completely fixes the lagdroid problem
>>12812846I've tried run ahead and 120hz and legit can't tell the difference, but also I was never good at rhythm games, so maybe my reaction time is shit.
>>12811790Rg405m
>>12812905meds
>>12812846it doesn't because now you've broken every other emulation feature as well as adding even more overhead
>>12812923>it doesn't because now you've broken every other emulation featureMaybe if you use single instance, but second instance has no downsides if your hardware is capable.
>>12812660Most of them.
>>12812773Not really, Linux is easier to use because everything is already setup and ready to go.
>>12812814The brick is a good option if you want a device you can carry with you.If you want a handheld to play at home you could try the Trimui brick pro (it's a bigger brick with more battery) or a mangmi air X (runs android and it's a bit more powerful)All the options are relatively cheap so they are good starters, I do recommend the regular brick more because the pro and mangmi might become obsolete to you the moment you buy a more powerful device while the brick keeps the size niche
>>12812934for >>12812812
>>12812927>second instanceQRD?
>>12812971Runs a second copy of the core in the background for the predictive frames, rather than making a single core jump back and forth.
>>12812994Technology man.How much more power are we talking to still run these games at full speed?
>>128130181 frame of run-ahead needs about double the CPU, since you're generating an extra future frame for every rendered frame. Single instance wants strong single-core performance, second instance uses more resources overall.
What a nightmare.

Konkr Pocket Fit vs Retroid Pocket Flip 2?
>>12813203not even in the same league. the konkr is way more powerful. the flip 2 has the better screen
>>12813160I'm buying steam deck to play pokemon mini at its native res on
>>12813204So for everything PS2/GameCube era and prior go with the Flip 2?
>>12813214yeah it can do that era and prior. the konkr will have even more headroom but can run switch emulation as well. it just depends on what you're looking for. if you're comparing them i'm assuming you can get them within the same ballpark price? otherwise just get the flip 2 if that's what you're looking for
>>12813218Thanks. I suppose my question moreso concerns the marginal benefit of something like the Konkr over the Flip 2, I.e., how much value is the OLED vs the additional power?
>>12813224the additional power is vast. it's a higher trim entirely. are you able to get it around the same price or something? iirc the flip 2 is $180 pre shipping on retroid's site right now

Bros I genuinely cannot decide between the Nova with the double screen for when I feel like playing DS and 3DS, or just saying fuck it and getting the Duo. I already have an OLED Steam Deck so I'm not worried about PC or Switch emulatiom. I really only care about 6th gen and below plus 3DS (and Vita but I'm pretty sure that's still a long ways off) Wat do?
retroid pocket 6 but with a flat back and vita style triggers and n3ds style l2/r2
>>12813359I think it's because 80% of the people experienced it on an old 3DS where you have to hold both the device and your head very still at a specific angle for the 3D effect to hold. New 3DS fixed this by including an infrared sensor that tracks your eye position and it dynamically switches some shit inside the screen so you can move around and 3D works fine.
>>12813375Just acquire a DSi XL and a New 3DS XL. Anything else is cope.

>>12813419half of the ds's library uses 3d models and can be upscaled, also oled displays just look better the ds lite/dsi screens look terrible only the xl had ips displays
>>12813449>>12812428You have to use discernment. Most games will play better on an OLED chinkheld. But games that require precision or zero latency touch or zero latency audio will always be better on real hardware. Also games that are meaningfully better in 3D will be better on a 3DS.>>12813547I have a DSi XL and my Thor absolutely BTFOs both the screen quality and the speaker quality.

>>12813547there are very few DS games where the 3d models aren't just background shit made with less Polygons than year 1 ps1 games. Upscaling does not make the trees in Pokémon platinum look better.But if you're not integer scaling, the sprites now look like dogshit, and the sprites are the only good looking part of ds games.The real advantage of chinkhelds is fast forward, save states, and a hardware menu that isn't slow as fuck.
>>12812560When you play psp on a fucking 3 inch 4:3 screen, you've now shrunken the real screen area down to 2 fucking inches. It's irredeemable garbage.You don't play video games.
>>12813592I only remember the menus being slow on a 3DS with a micro sd card exceeding 32GB. Regular DS bios or a DS Pico flashcart are quite snappy.I think there is a case to be made for the RG DS Plus though since it does have that 4X interger scale and many DS Lite / i screens are prone to heavy ghosting or yellowing.
>>12813592it looks better on a thor than it does on the ds lite.
>>12813592>there are very few DS games where the 3d models aren't just backgroundThis is a lie you've already been disproven a million times, you even gave a list of the best ds games last thread and 60% of the list was either entirely 3D or was 2D but heavily used 3D assets.
>>12813616That's the sort of game suited for ds chinkhelds, minimal touch interaction and no need to synchronize the two screens or keep them the same size. Now try playing sonic rush without a headache, or just completing the later stages in elite beat agents.
>>12813546>SIMPLY FANTASTIC2000?I think there's still FrogUI but the R36S really killed it. There's always the RG353PS tho if that's still being sold
I'M GONNA DO IT, 1K FOR A CHINKHELD, LET'S FUCKING GO
>/vr/ - dual screens
Not one of the shitposters but I want to emulate anything but DS and 3DS games on a chinkheld.
If the 3DS were more powerful we wouldn't need chinkhelds and could just emulate on it instead
All DS and 3DS games are playable on a single-screen handheld.
>>12811239>>12811676>>12812905Okay but how much faster?And I doubt this is going to improve most handhelds really.
>>12813761Trust me you're not playing Sonic Rush / Adventure / Colors DS on a single screen.
>>12813761>implying anyone here plays video games
>>12813596>Nova>3 inch screenYou're retarded. Kill yourself.
>>12813761doom is playable on a smart fridge, doesn't mean i'd to play it there
>>12813769Trust me, I'm not playing Sonic games at all. The only non-shit one was that one fighting game they had on the GBA.
>>12813761Okay smart guy how do you see the pokemon attacks shile in battle
>>12813782Your press a bottom to see the bottom screen when picking attacks.
>>12813142If you keep putting and removing the caps, they'll loosen up. About as tall as underneath the cap, bit taller than the d-pad and buttons going by my RP5.
>>12813786p-press my bottom, anon-sama..
>>12813621No, from your own list only 20% were 3D.The ones that are "mixed 3D" are exactly as I've described, faggot. You've been debunked. You're literally talking about 3D assets with so few Polygons that it's basically 32X tier shit
