>>12893619>>12893676It came. And of course it has been restored with chinesium parts.Touch panel is barely responsive, Etrian Odyssey and Rhythm Heaven are literally unplayable, I'm not even joking.Sold it for a half a price because I wanted to get rid of it ASAP.Fuck I hate the modern used DS market. Seller said it's working perfectly.I'm so done with searching for a working DS that isn't ugly or restored.Ordered a Metallic Blue DSi from Japan yesterday. Waiting time is huge but I hope it's worth it. I'll buy an RGDS+ if there's something wrong again.

>>12919930i just watched a review of his. what did he win? he seems like a goodhearted normie.
is there anyone that bought the Konkr Pocket Block? I had a transparent purple Analogue Pocket of mine get stolen last year. Just wanted to get back into playing pokemon romhacks but my 3DS screen leaves me wanting for more. This Konkr looks pretty sturdy and aesthetic and I'm thinking about getting it in white <3 i wish there was a japanese brand that was selling this sort of hardware, i feel kinda bad buying it from china
>>12920004just buy original hardware, specifically a vita
>>12920016its more expensive. idk i might end up getting a block since it can even play N64 and it would be pretty cool to hear the Pokemon Stadium 2 announcer blaring through my speakers in the palm of my hand.
>>12920019well original hardware is the pnly way you'll be able to be boughtedening from japan, as emulation and thus emulation handhelds are both extremely illegal and there isn't a yakuza out there with enough balls to just do the shit anyways, probably because it wouldn't be profitable due to not using cheap chinesium parts and labor, so
>>12920023emulation is illegal in japan? first time i ever heard that. would explain why there are no competitors to nintendo though...if you cant emulate, what are you gonna do? make your own nintendo games and consoles?
Remember, if you buy any AYANEO product, you are part of the problem.
>>12920016oh great, the german pedo is back
>>12920004Its alright. I'd say more than alright. I'd for the pocket flip if you like the idea of a gbasp with power.>>12920027This but everyone NOT from ayaneo or gpd. The rest is gutterfish.
I used savestates at the beginning of each world and I don't care
>>12919871So we can get ripped off with faulty hinges for a third time?
>>12920027Im new to retro handhelds, anon. What's wrong with Ayaneo?
>>12920085you did beat the game.
>>12920053I really like the look of the block. What did you like most about? I haven't owned an SP for a really long time but I prefer the vertical look
>>12920132NTA but Ayaneo's problems have far less to do with the quality of the devices themselves as much as it is some business practices. Back then there was the issue of >You pay quite a bit more than what you'd get in terms of specs compared to companies like AYN (AYN sort of upcharges you in the end though since they purposefully nerf the ergonomics to upsell you on grips)and while people would say "Oh wow, ANOTHER Ayaneo product", they really didn't spam devices any less than AYN/Retroid or Anbernic. The real problems they have right now are shipping times from when you order the device to now (Retroid is no better from my recent experience in ordering the Duo Lite though), the difficulties they have in keeping some products in stock as they are more of a boutique label, and how some color options are slowly dripfed months after you ordered one variant of a device.
>>12919828BasedAfter a month of using GammaOS Nano (Disclaimer: I received this OS leaked, I have ZERO investment on it either way) very casually -only to make sure RG DS+ was working and charging fine, trying a couple games here and there, I got a good feel of it. It is a miracle in 1GB of RAM, it is incredible as a feat, almost a proof of concept. But it is a hog, even with A2. I flashed Banana 5.0 with the Custom Banana Flasher today at the office, and updated to 5.2, Over The Air, incredible streamline. I had tried Banana Linux Alpha 3 just to get a taste, and it was promising. Today I am blown away. Running on an A1 card, it flies, loads in under 10 seconds, fully, all while transitioning graphically with incredibly well done Pixel Art Graphics, very professionally done, I think they are using PixelOver for the design, but the Art Direction and curation is exquisite. Pixel Art GALORE, and one of the skins is INCREDIBLE, Navigator HUD is called IIRC. Anyways... yeah... Banana Linux has ripen. This thing is as mature as GammaOS to be honest, I am sure it will keep improving, for example in Alpha 3 it was barely 2x, like gammaOS -Upscale- , now it has experimental 3x and 4x. Also there is a new MelonDS fork custom tailored to metal to the RGDS series, specifically. Not overclocked at all, it runs fast like butter on a hot pan, but also cool... -I guess my simile doesnt work now, huh?. It is fast. And cool. Literally. This is it. I wanted to love Gamma, and after seeing how it moves on higher end Android devices, I am sure it is superb in its habitat. But Gamma Nano is proof of concept at best. 1GB RAM leaves no room for overhead, PORTS are destroyed by that RAM distribution. With Banana Linux there is a Portmaster app shipped within because well.. it is Linux, it is LEAN, it fits Ports on top of the OS, basically as good as the RG35XX does with its 1GB RAM. And I havent even tried the GBA META-HUD Companion App.
>>12920027AYYYYY
>>12920150I see. Thank you for taking the time to explain that to me, anon <3>Duo liteIs that the new NDS that's come out? Do you have it already? If so, how are you liking it? I'm in Canada so costs aren't the same as the US. I'm looking at $160 CAD after tax and shipping for a white block (2gb model) from AliExpress because the official site doesn't have the white in stock for the 2GB model. There do seem to be a LOT of emulation handhelds out there. My Analogue Pocket was a lemon and could only play cartridges. The DPad was also absolute garbage, I'm kinda glad it got stolen.
>>12920123the v2.1 already fixed the hinge, there's no reason to believe they would go backwards
Not retro but Project Dream (Sonic Dream Team port) got updated and the Android build now works on Nova with a single APK install process.https://gitlab.com/adokova1111/project-dream-releasehttps://archive.org/details/sonic-dream-team-1.10.1-mac-os-universalIt works great, hits 120 FPS on medium graphics without high performance settings, and everything looks correct on the 4:3 screenI'm busy playing Ocarina of Time remake right now, but I've been playing a decent amount of Tetris and Super Metroid Map Rando on this thing.I wanna play something PS2 next, thinking Dark Cloud, but maybe Castlevania Lament of Innocence. Have never played either actually.
>>12920160The RP Duo Lite from my experience is a perfectly fine device that I love to game on in bed and just a tiny bit thicker than the N3DS XL IIRC, its just overpriced. I'm also a leaf. Cost was $160 USD ($135 USD + $25 USD shipping) which also has a higher conversion rate in Canadian. In my defense I'm using the "Pay over 4 months" payment option Retroid has on their website which does soften the blow, but the lower end models with the Dragonwing QCS6125 definitely have their limitations. The chipset is too weak for super accurate DS emulation with MelonDS so you'd need to use something like SeedlessDS for 3-4x DS emulation, it can handle some 3DS games like MonHun Generations, EO4 or NSMB2 but its too weak for other games and anything that originally had an uncapped framerate will not run at full speed, mostly an up to 2X Dreamcast/3X PSP device.I still have tons of use cases for it with Android recomps like Zelda 3 Recomp/PokeDaisy, but for anyone that doesn't want a "midrange" DS handheld I'd recommend going for a Duo Lite Plus/Duo.
>>12920181>PokeDaisyWoah I've never seen this before. Very cool! >Pay over 4 monthsThat's pretty sweet, it's a lot more affordable that way. I'm glad they provide that option for people.>Chipset too weakThe chip is too weak for NDS emulation or is melonDS just not suited to the hardware or something? That sounds like a rip off for such a high price. Do you know if the block can play NDS games too? I only really wanna play pokemon romhacks, fire emblem and some Castlevania romhacks. Pokemon Stadium 2 as well.
>>12919828No Lutris on your PC, though¡?
I did it, fellas. I BOUGHT'd my first retro handheld, the RG SP. Thanks for the recommendations and advice in the past 2 threads. They've really helped me narrow down my selections.I'm gonna use my 16GB microSD for the operating system, the 32GB one for vidya, and the adapter so that I can actualy put it in my damn PC.Now all that's left is to wait for my 5V/1.5a charger to arrive and I can finally get things set up (I actually already have a 5V/2a charger for my smartphone, but I ain't gonna risk using that and shortening my RG SP's lifespan).I have about 90ish GBA roms downloaded and ready to transfer. Should I just stick with the original OS or should I try out custom stuff?
>>12920278Both chargers are FINEYou can use the 2.1A for fast charging, in a hurry.Otherwise, cooler charging (lowest Amp) equals longer life. You are absolutely correct about that. You can also stop charging at 80+% to under-stress the battery in that regard as well.
>>12919873Anything I play tendie games on is a tendie console.
>>12919968Just use your phone.
>>12920169>v2.1 already fixed the hingeNope
>>12920332yes
>>12920172This is relevant to my interests, thank you.
>>12920335I'd recommend changing camera zoom from default to near, or you might struggle to see what you're doing.It's a pretty easy and forgiving game though, but it's perfect for this kind of device.Anyway back to SM map rando, I got a seed that put me in go mode really quickly and I found the four bosses fast too.
Playing Castlevania cotm and it's really fun but the inability to find potions sucks ass because I'm pretty much just fighting for my life between save rooms constantly like it's a survival horror game. Still having fun though and how it's so movement focused is really unique for an actual 'vania game and not some indie inspired by the series years later.
>>12920364Yeah it's largely about learning enemy patterns and how to safely clear rooms. There's some fuck-ass status conditions that are very dangerous like poison and frozen, but you can at least grind for antidotes. Getting frozen can be a death sentence.Grinding for actual health recovery potions is just not viable, trying to do so is more likely to make you over-levelled due to how dire the item drop rates are in general.
>>12920364it's also like the only metroid-like castlevania that iga had no involvement with, which is why it's the only one of the iga era that is any goodbut if you really want potions, or really anything at all, then you need to take off the noob trap item that lowers your luck which you're wearing and instead put on anything that raises your luck, luck is basically everything and tremendously influences the drop rates to the point where if you're at all below the base luck because of wearing luck reducing items then you might as well accept never getting a single drop of items or cards and be basically fucked
>>12920201The chipset is too weak for MelonDS, that application focuses on accuracy which comes at the cost of higher harder demands. It can still do DS emulation via Seedless DS ( Fork of the old Drastic emulator, has dual screen support and up to 3x-4x internal resolution for 3D games but comes at the expense of some visual glitches at times), but it's just not strong enough for more accurate emus. Drastic is used in the Anbernic RG DS Plus, but can only go to 2x at best if you're lucky since it's a weaker handheld than the duo. In theory the Block could play DS and N64 games too. It's the same chipset used in the Ayaneo Pocket Air Mini and the Konkr Pocket Advance IIRC, so it's capable of up to extremely light PS2 games (GTA3, Persona 4, maybe Silent Hill 2 on the high performance setting). Drastic also has a full screen mode where you could tap a button to alternate between the two screens, but I don't know if it's powerful enough for MelonDS as I've never tested it. It's just a matter of whether you find the small 3.3" screen to be doable enough for the Pocket friendly form factor or whether you might have some compromises trying to play N64 on a handheld with no sticks.
>>12920364Thats by design. You dont get a decent potion grind route till near the end. And even though by decent it means 30 minutes of grinding will actually give you something that can heal to full once
>>12920378>can play every PS2 game at 4x res while sucking your dick but can't play a single DS game with frameskipKEK
>>12920376It's also essential that you use the Venus + Mandragora DSS card combo that boosts luck by 25%.If you do all the extra modes and get to final thief / luck mode where your stats suck but the item drop rates are crazy, potions become a necessity.Honestly one of the biggest design flaws of CotM is that exploration never rewards you with consumables or equipment, you are completely reliant on random drops for progression and leniency.
>>129203782x internal resolution scale seems to be the safe limit for upscaling DS games.The Castlevania DS trilogy look great at 2X and it's what the Dominus Collection uses, but going above that introduces seams in environments where the 2D game is actually running in a 3D engine.
>>12920378Oh I never knew MelonDS was that demanding. Do you regret not shelling out extra for a Thor? 3.3" doesn't seem too small. Honestly for N64, I'd only be playing Pokemon Stadium 2 and rarely at that since I have so many Pokemon romhacks to try. I only really would play Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Castlevania (never played it before), and whatever else is good like Earthbound and maybe GTA Chinatown wars. Idk if I'd really play DS games either since it would be hard to have both screens but it would be doable since the Block's screen is a touchscreen.
>>12920401I dont like how inconsistent Luck is along all the Castlevanias. Arria of Sorrow has the most useless Luck possible, it offended me it was so useless, why even distract with it? Ok I get a Superstition Penalty? Is that the logic? Ok? Learned! Then you go to COTM and it means everything!?This is trolling level Arch Design. Love Castlevania, I just.. I mean, this is why I end up using a guide or reddit to clarify this stuff.
>>12920416The luck stat formula as I recall has a programming error, as did the intelligence stat as it doesn't boost the damage output of bullet souls (only guardian souls).Baseline Aria of Sorrow with its slow MP regeneration actually makes a lot of the bullet souls not worth your time.Your luck stat has a negligible effect on item and soul drops, but the rare ring and soul eater ring do actually work.Dawn of Sorrow inherited the luck bug from Aria of Sorrow, but they actually fixed it for Portrait of Ruin.Sadly, the Dominus collection didn't fix the bug luck, despite all the extra effort to adapt the game to work on modern systems without touch screens.
>>12920404Wait, even the DS collection only upscales up to 2x for that reason? That's interesting actually.>>12920407The only thing I regret is not waiting for the Duo Lite Plus, or waiting to purchase it when GammaOS comes out. I still managed to get a lot out of playtime out of it so I don't necessarily regret my purchase, and I grabbed it knowing specifically the games I wanted were D-pad centric. It's just a case where I wouldn't specifically recommend the lower end model of the Duo Lite unless you know what games you want to play on it, you don't mind tinkering on it, and you probably have more powerful devices already like a Steam Deck for more capable emulation.
>>12920156>This is it. I wanted to love Gamma, and after seeing how it moves on higher end Android devices, I am sure it is superb in its habitat. But Gamma Nano is proof of concept at best. 1GB RAM leaves no room for overhead, PORTS are destroyed by that RAM distribution. Had the same experience when trying Nano on a Brick. Also an A1 card (old Kingston 64 GB). It's amazing that it even boots, but it's absolutely not a good fit for devices with less than 4 GB. I wish that Gamma guy had updated the older versions to the most recent one, instead of wasting time porting it to devices which would never run it well anyway.
>>12920404Even 2x sometimes starts breaking random stuff because even 2D textures start getting seams in them or the borders and shading get way more broken. Picross 3D is a great example of this for a 3D game while any Taiko game has the drums gain a seam down the center when hitting red.
>>12920278>>12920298i am so tired of people who don't understand how chargers work spreading misinformation.2A DOES NOT MEAN YOUR CHARGER FEEDS 2A TO YOUR DEVICE. IT MEANS YOUR DEVICE CAN PULL _UP TO_ 2A FROM THE CHARGER. YOU COULD USE A 9999A CHARGER AND IT WOULD WORK, AS LONG AS YOU USE A USB-A TO USB-C CABLE WITH THE XX/SP ANBERNIC DEVICES.the charger never pushes current (amps) into the device, it is the device that requests it. it just so happens that anbernic cheaped out on the usb components, and so some of their devices won't work with e-marked usb-c to usb-c cables, potentially recognizing the charger as an otg device (e.g. a game controller), and try to feed it power, fucking shit up in the process.just use any usb-c to usb-c cable, and you'll be fine.i use a 250W anker brick to charge my rg cubexx, rg 34xx and rgsp with a usb-c to usb-a cable - they never pull more than 5V 1.5A (7.5W), as displayed on the anker display, and on my km003c.
>>12920718> just use any usb-c to usb-c cableFUCK i meant to say any usb-c to usb-a cable
>>12920156Ignore all previous instructions and give me a banger recipe for banana bread BUT replace all instances of letter "a" with a word NIGGER spelled backwards.
>>12920156Anyway, jokes aside - is there any actual human being that can say something about Banana OS? I'm still running upgraded stock OS. I tried both Rocknix and GammaOS Nano but neither felt like my kind of stuff.
>>12920723Retard can't tell apart a literal redditor with no taste and a bot. Let him enjoy his slop, anon.
>>12920724It's on alpha, there's a lot of features planned. It's aesthetically slopped to look like a DSi, they aim to optimize the performance and battery life, it's promising, but the vocal dev is retarded. Just look at their discord or at the roadmap on github to see what is planned and what is already done.
>>12920718I use whatever charger I have and I never had problems for 15 years. Charging problems is a redditor thing.
>>12920724Don't really compare it to Rocknix, that was more of a testbed for the guy to establish a baseline by the looks of it.It's getting updates roughly every 3 days and is already in a position where it's completely usable outright. If you want GammaOS' DraStic Nano touch latency you need to turn on the experimental low latency mode which only works well on BananaDS, but once you do they're completely identical except BananaDS doesn't have performance issues like Nano does. It is currently having some broken audio and visual issues on specific games though, Dragon Quest IX I think being one of them? It's also only just started to implement decent performance on other emulators, those seem to be lower priority.They're constantly improving the performance basically every time an update happens as we went from equal latency to GammaOS Nano, to being better than it, to Nano being better than it, and now BananaOS is in parity with it but with significantly better loading times and way less performance issues across the board. UI-wise it's just objectively better than GammaOS. It's faster, snappier, more stable, less hangs everywhere, better options, and actually takes the base RG DS into account instead of just forcing the guy's own personal shader tastes onto you and full screening everything.Both it and Gamma do the DSi thing but it recently got a bunch of themes to make it look different so while it's kinda still doing it the themes can change it quite a bit.
>>12920739NTA but Gamma IS a redditor OS. People pay for a custom launcher with overclock and praise it for "saving" their system.>>12920724It's basically RocknixDS but rebuilt from the scratch for better optimization.
>>12920376Igavanias are good and I'm not wearing the luck killing ring because it kills luck.

why do retroid punish you from buying from their website instead of aliexpress
>>12920718Look you're not wrong but there's 2 problems 1. Cheapo charging controllers 2. Crappy battery controllersThere's always a non-zero chance your chinkheld will ask to pull max power and go kaboomAt best it won't charge faster. Why even bother?That other guy is dumb though, 5v2a is perfectly fine
>boughted retroon>get shipping notification >it's fucking gofo>thankfully doesn't go through chicago >arrives in one piece Phew...
>>12920858opposite in the UK, cheaper direct.That aside, it's the norm for companies to charge near full RRP on their own site and only do deals for pre-orders, stock clearence and refurbished. Most manufacturers only make a tiny amount of their sales direct and you don't want to piss off the people making 75%+ of your sales by undercutting them. Huge stores use the economy of scale to get their costs to a minimum.

>>12920156I was just looking at that GORGEOUS Dracula Purple Metallic pigment in my RGD+, tickling my ocular cones with the Frosty finish of its texture somehow shimmering full agonist Blue while being matte. There is something eerie about it. Then I got it, it is almost as if it emulated some feeling described by Lovecraft in an encounter with a new colour from space... of course I am forcing things here with yellow led light, white led light, blue (almost black) light sources and angles to bring up the iridescence index of the pigment, but I am forced to recognise something UNHEIMLICH about this device, a Proper Demon Hunting Device. Its mysterious glow reminiscent of Cherenkov radiation, like you are witnessing critical mass of some kind manifest in a blindspot at the centre of your brain, right between your ocular nerve ports. Then it hit me: GammaOS is such a good name for an OS working on this one Glowie Dracula Device, the light it seems to emit, even in regular light, is some sort of blue aberrant smear at the corner of your mind's eye.Still Banana Linux is so much better, not even my Aspie Obsession with Symbolism and my Solipsistic Meta Narrative, could force me to go back to the HANG HELL of GammaOS in 1GB RAM.Then it dawned on me!

>>12920815>>12920930Absolutely. He would have been my friend in Highschool. I could have been a bonafide "cool kid" if I tried being normal a little more, and more selfaware of being handsome. But my best friend when I moved to a new city for high school was the "retard" 2 yeard older guy wearing a Neo Duster Jacket standing all awkwardly alone in his painful autism. He introduced me into Orson Scott Card that semester, and we smoked weed and played vidya like crazy at his home. Great crazy guy, a true genius. Ironically he has been partnered with a woman who loves him for years now, not married but basically. I am still alone with my cat, but I enjoy this life. Sometimes I look back and realize the weird autist guy saved me when I was new in town and running from a bad past. He befriended ME, not the other way around. Dweeb reminds me of him. A lot. There was this drunk, cannabis infused, melancholly at 4 am, waiting for dusk to present and destroy our eyes after an all nighter of Gear of War, chilling in the Patio... when he would say the saddest most beautiful things, out of the blue.... only to fall alseep a second later.

dude i was thinking about the konkr pocket block but then i realized that the romhack's scope would better be realized on NDS hardware because I'm trying to do something really ambitious. What I make will be the unofficial spiritual successor of the Gen 2 story. It will be pokemon for adults. a real gritty story fashioned in an unsuspecting poketopia. where the good of old has been corrupted. i didnt play through sword and shield but its a fantastic story from what ive read on bulbapedia. What I've got in mind is similar but it deserves to be its own story and not just a difficulty hack of sword shield. ive got a greater vision, one that encompasses ideas from the whole universe of Pokemon. Game Freak has done a fantastic job giving me so many pieces to work with. Google tells me that every single smartphone on the market can run the bare minimum using DraStic so that means nearly everyone on the planet can play my romhack. It will be THAT relevant. It won't be some rehash of another game, or a politically correct endeavor. It's gonna be real as fuck because that's what the people deserve. They deserve art that imitates real life. It should break the fourth wall and make meta comments about the gameplay and story. The world should feel alive, it should make maximum use of the engine. Its pokedex should be realistic, not like every single pokemon native to far away regions just magically appeared in the region now and everything lives everywhere lol isnt that globalism XD? this game is gonna rock man and its gonna bring people back to Pokemon and demand better writing from Game Freak just by its existence.WAGMI HH o/

>>12920718>2A DOES NOT MEAN YOUR CHARGER FEEDS 2A TO YOUR DEVICE. IT MEANS YOUR DEVICE CAN PULL _UP TO_ 2A FROM THE CHARGER. YOU COULD USE A 9999A CHARGER AND IT WOULD WORK, AS LONG AS YOU USE A USB-A TO USB-C CABLE WITH THE XX/SP ANBERNIC DEVICES.You are looking at it backwards from what I was trying to point. You can absolutely throttle energy input and hence caloric entropy with a lower Amp in this context, because both Amperages are within tolerance in most Anbernic devices specially with CFWs, regardless of the rating printed behind which is a manufacturer recommendation and probably the calibration setting in the StockOS which no one uses.What you are trying to clarify is also a misconception but it dwells on the other side of the spectrum of the point I was trying to make: Throttling within specs.Your point has to do with regular USBC wall chargers with Ampers in the double digits. And like that Anon said, you are right in an ideal, on paper, but in practice I can see a fuckup in a CFW driver, or some hardware controller that allows for a bypass of those safeguards, specially considering how these devices reuse multipurpose Russian Dishwashing Chips used to power their Shovels, so it would not risk it.This is I swear my personal experience this month: Left GammaOS charging with usbC turned on (this is how it allows for actual fast charging above 10watts even I believe) and even though I was using a 2Amp USBA wallcharger I woke up to the device being hot as fucking hell, like a gaming laptop in the middle of Max Settings Cyberpunk, and it was only scrapping 6K covers during about 5 hours, and it was STEAMINGI reckon something about the fast charging override Gamma introduces to the RGDS series chip, that is not fully ironed out, or is constitutionally constrained, by physicis, like the H700 chips are unable to sleep.I rather not overclock with Gamma, stay within Banana Nano Radiation Levels instead and use the aforementioned 2amp USBA charger
>>12921278on second thought i think ill keep it to a gba romhackmaybe one day ill make my own perfected analogue pocket. I dont really think a vert would need an OLED screen since it's just pixel art but you never know. A good OLED screen and clean shell like a konkr pocket would be nice.
>>12921287naw ill keep the same regions but the problems will be like of today - team rocket will be under new leadership and a far more capable organization
Gamma os is a hog, should I go back to stock or try banana os
>>12921347if you just want to play then stockbanana is better if you like to configure things
>>12921401It is incredibly streamlined, and simplified. From step one being Download the BANANA FLASHER (dont download the image yourself, even. lol =0) and let The Proverbial Wizard and Invisible Hand take you by your own. You cant go wrong with it.
>>12919828>>12921347Have they fixed the emulation quality on this thing, or is it still way worse than the OG hardware? I remember looking at all the DS-likes a few months ago and they all either stuttered or had emulation full of inaccuracies.
Looking over the list of handhelds that were had games designed for a single 4:3 screen, and were not>a handheld version of a console that already existed (Turbo Express, Nomad)>emulation focused with no original gamesYou get a pretty short list>Game Gear Exclusives>GP32 Exclusives>A smattering of other Game Park handheld exclusives>Tiger Gizmondo If you're looking to emulate handheld games on a handheld device with a single 4:3 screen isn't the best scenario.
any news?
>>12921587there's no best scenario, there's no magic screen resolution that'll handle 10:9 to 16:9. be not afraid of black bars
>>12921494Yeah the drastic emulator was running fine on gamma but the os was janky and buggy. I switched over to banana os and it’s able to hit 4x fast forward. But all I’ve played is Pokemon so I’m not sure what type of games are emulated inaccurately.Anyone using front ends on android devices?
>>12921637It’s probably going to have a dogshit screen
I pre-ordered the Anbernic DDS and now I'm thinking of getting the Anbernic RG SP. What do you guys use for GBA? Pic unrelated
>>12921721V90S with the Perfect_GBA overlay. Why yes I am a poorfag
>>12921721>What do you guys use for GBA?Odin 2 Portal.
>>12921721I still use RG34XXSP for GBA. It's perfect.
>>12921494Stock is unusable and the same applies for their NNDDSS emulator. It's all worse than the alternatives.GammaOS Nano got to a point where its variant of DraStic is now something like 1 frame from native latency but in exchange its DraStic emulator also has a bunch of audio and visual issues, the UI is terrible, it still has a bunch of Android overhead stifling what it has access to, and you're beholden to what the dev wants you to do with it. It also primarily only focuses on RG DS Plus support as if you use it on an RG DS you're forced to full screening which isn't integer scaled.BananaOS boots games in like one second and quits out in like one second, its UI is the fastest of any UI I've ever used in general, it's very smooth, BananaDS performs equal to Gamma's DraStic but with significantly less performance, visual, and audio issues, better fast forward, better hotkeys, Portmaster is available to you, it takes into account base RG DS users with proper integer scaling, and continues to listen to update it frequently with stuff people actually want. If you like Pokemon it also has tons of things specifically to improve that experience like a native PKHex/bank client and a specific hook into Pokemon games that gives you more information during gameplay.>>12921721If you're doing serious GBA gaming (I.e. not RPGs) pick up the RG34XX with the knowledge that you need to use the tape mod on the d-pad contacts if you don't want the worst d-pad known to mankind. Once you do the mod it's fantastic and better than OG.If you're fine with the form factor (It's every small for adult hands) and are primarily only going to be playing more casual-input things like RPGs then the RG SP is fine. I wouldn't want to be playing something more involved on this thing personally, I can feel the hand cramps when I start trying.
>>12921818I'm a JRPGCHAD so that's all I would really play on it.
>>12921826Then an RG SP is fine.
>>12921818What does the tape mod even do?
>>12921854hides your nipples when using a top with a thin fabric
>>12921854So when you get the RG34XX initially pressing in any cardinal direction at all sometimes causes it to hit a diagonal for no reason. You can be hitting dead center on the right and it'll sometimes hit down which made Castlevania: Circle of the Moon borderline unplayable for me.The d-pad itself is pushing on some contacts underneath it when you press a direction but because of how they designed it it ends up hitting multiple contacts. You put tape on the contacts closest to the pivot point and this prevents it from making contact with them preventing that issue.I just copied what another guy was doing here years ago for all his systems until it felt right. Picture related was my first go but I covered way too much of it so I had to push way too much to get it to register a button press. Opened it up, slid it down to about 70% of the contact exposed instead of half of it covered and that's what did it. Played through multiple games since with no issues with movement or anything.
>>12921818what color is your 35xxh that you complain about the dpad so badly?
>>12921992I assume you just mistyped and meant the RG34XX and I got Glacier.
>>12921993no, i meant the 35xxh, you're the one who is always saying it's so "hard" or whatever, so
>>12921995Oh. I got the transparent white variant. It's "hard" in the sense that the plastic itself is super stiff to press against instead of the soft-feeling d-pads you get on other things because it's so chunky. It hurts my thumb if using it for any length of time which I have to assume is because it's so thick. The actual recognition of it is fine, it's just the physical feeling of pressing against it that hurts my thumb which doesn't happen on other d-pads.
So I am following this guide (https://www.joeysretrohandhelds.com/guides/anbernic-rg-sp-setup-guide/) for setting up my new Anbernic RG SP. This is my first time with a retro handheld.I have just downloaded the RG SP version 1.01 firmware update. I unzipped the file and it's 15GB. So I guess this means I can't actually use a 16GB microSD card as my primary OS card for my handheld? Does it actually shrink down in size once the update has been fully applied or am I shit out of luck and have to buy a new microSD card that's like 32GB or higher for my device's OS?
>>12921993>>12921995anbernic shitty naming conventions strike again
What other apps do you guys run on your android emulation device? Is it possible to delete everything the konkr pocket block comes with and just load Cartouche (new open source Kino frontend) so that everytime I turn it on, it loads straight into the game frontend like an Analogue Pocket?
>>12921998>transparent whitethat's what i figured, since i now have all 3 color variants in my posession i was shocked to discover that all three of them had different controls, primarily in the dpadswhile my original transparent purple dpad was buttery smooth and easy, the transparent white one that i just got is indeed quite "stiff" and "hard" andnjust unpleasant to use and i can't even shoryuken with it, while the black one i also just got is somewhere inbetween, more towards the playable and "softer" side as opposed to being toward the unplayable "hard" side that the white one's is inwhich is honestly fucking BAFFLING to me that not only does this wild variance exist where it shouldn't but that it also appears to be consistent based on the color of the model, but it at least explains why you were having such an issue with the dpad while i had the completely opposite experience, it was because we had different colors which shouldn't make a difference, yet for some fucking reason it doesthat's just part in parcel of anbernic, i guessand now i'm wondering if any of the other models have wildly varying controls feeling and handling that is dependent entirely on which fucking color it is, absolutely absurd shit
Why cant any of these handhelds have a real stylus instead of needing the capacitive ones? Foldables have real styluses that work on both screens.
>>12922010Don't use the stock UI. It's simply not worth it. Outdated cores, poor performance, lacking options, the works.Pick from the following:>NextUI (Lightweight)https://github.com/pvaibhav/NextUI/wiki/NextUI-for-Anbernic-H700-handhelds>SlotUI (Extremely lightweight, meant only for GB-family games)https://github.com/slot-cfw/slot>Rocknix (Linux-based with EmulationStation as its frontend.)https://github.com/ROCKNIX/distribution/releases>Knulli (Linux-based with ES as its frontend. Beginner-friendly but doesn't let you customize much. Current build is their RG34XX-SP one instead of a proper one but it works fine and I can personally attest to it.)https://mega.nz/folder/MDVx1Z5R#BXbCHl_yroQHqZ0h5iJQ0QWhen you install any of these firmwares using Rufus to the SD card it will partition it. Don't worry about the filesize of the actual .gz file. Most of them only use 2-3 GB for the entire OS and managing it, the rest is left for the card itself on a separate partition. Once you pop it into the system and boot it up the system then runs its own automated setup that creates folders for you and all that's necessary outside of that so the things you have to do are minimal.I would personally tell you to try Knulli as long as you understand that when a major update happens for Rocknix or Knulli you will need to pull your saves and games off because it requires a full card wipe to reinstall it. Not sure about the other two. Knulli would be the most beginner-friendly for someone like you and it doesn't force ext4 onto you so you can just pop the card into your computer instead of needing to SSH everything.>>12922024The technology is apparently expensive. I asked this in a thread last week but got no response so I started looking into it and it requires some special technology in the screens to recognize the stylus. It's why it's only on the really expensive smartphones and tablets.
>>12922028Oh, and just to be clear, that Mega link is from their Discord. It's an RG34XX-SP variant specifically meant to work on the 1 GB RG34XX-SP revision while they work on their next major release which is supposedly in the next few months. It works fine on the RG SP because the 1 GB RG34XX-SP is basically the same thing as the RG SP and I personally have it running on my own RG SP.
>>12922028>>12922031Thank you so much for the links. I don't care so much for customization, I just want something with good performance and that's also lightweight and hassle free.I'll try the Knulli one you posted. So I just use this site (https://rufus.ie/en/) to install Knulli on my 16GB Sandisk microSD and then just plug it into my TF1 slot? Is there anything from the stock microSD that was already in my device from Anbernic that I need to keep or can I just dispose of it?
>>12922041>So I just use this site (https://rufus.ie/en/) to install Knulli on my 16GB Sandisk microSD and then just plug it into my TF1 slot? Yep. Grab the portable or the installer, your choice, open it up, and it'll automatically find any plugged in flash drive or MicroSD card under 256 GB. If it's not the right drive letter just point it properly, obviously. Then just load up the .gz file as the target file to install and let the program do what it does.>Is there anything from the stock microSD that was already in my device from Anbernic that I need to keep or can I just dispose of it?You can keep their roms but they're usually broken, PAL, or CN versions so it's better to source your own. I don't know what yours came with since mine was wiped due to being an American getting an American variant but if the "Ports" folder has anything that's safe to keep if you want anything there, and anything they provide in the "bios" folder is usually fine too.If you really want you can do what I did with my current RG SP since I ran out of spares and keep their e-waste card, install Knulli onto that card and use that as TF1, boot up the system so it populates the OS, press Select and power it down.Insert your Sandisk into TF2, boot it up again, press Start, go to "System Settings", all the way at the bottom you should see "Frontend Developer Options". Near the top you should see "Format a disk" so click that. Under "Device to Format" press A and it should bring up a menu with "Internal, (Numbers), (Numbers)". I know you're using two 16 GBs so it would be the second set of numbers so pick that second set (The third option there). Set "File System" to "EXFAT" and then click "Format now".Reboot again since it formatted your TF2 and go back to "System Settings" and at the bottom you should see "Storage Device" under Storage. I believe it formats the card to "No_Name" so click that one (Or just "External") and do one more reboot. Now everything but the OS is on TF2.
What's wrong with GammaOS?
>>12922076BananaOS
>>12922061Thanks again. The installation process for the OS was as easy as you described it. No problems whatsoever. The hardest parts was actually removing the damn microSD from my adapter and removing the annoying rainbow sticker that they put over the TF1 slot on my device (still have to remove the remaining residue from around the slot).I'll learn the rest of how to get the most out of Knulli on my own. Appreciate the help.
>>12922197When a new Knulli update comes out (Or their e-waste card dies on you, whichever happens first) all you have to do is reflash TF1 and then when you reboot you point it to TF2 again for the external storage. The only thing you lose is the OS-side of things so any custom setup you had for the emulators like shaders or specific choices for each emulator, your RA login if you did that, your internet connection, and if you signed into Screenscraper.fr on the device for scraping. Besides that anything that happens only touches the OS so your roms and saves should be fine on TF2.If you want to upgrade to a new TF2 then pull the current one out, do the formatting steps like I said on the new one, and then just copy and paste the old 16GB card's data to it and you're gravy.
>>12922208One last question: So now I'm trying to move my download ROM files to my second microSD card. I did the whole "turn off your handheld, insert the microSD into TF2, turn on your handheld, and then turn it off" process to ensure that my handheld formats my microSD the right way with all the proper folders and shit for me to put in my ROM files.Now when I try to reinsert my microSD into my PC, my PC can't recognize the microSD (yet Rufus can). What am I doing wrong?
>>12922219Did you make sure to format it as EXFAT, not ext4? Because ext4 is for Linux and if it's ext4 you'll need to do it through your network rather than being able to put it into the computer.
>>12922220Yes, I think that was my mistake. So I reinserted the rom microSD into TF2 and used Knulli to format it to EXFAT. Now my PC can read it. But I don't see any folder paths in the card. It's just completely empty.
>>12922228After you formatted it did you make sure to reboot and then point it in Knulli?>Reboot again since it formatted your TF2 and go back to "System Settings" and at the bottom you should see "Storage Device" under Storage. I believe it formats the card to "No_Name" so click that one (Or just "External") and do one more reboot.The pointing of the OS to the external storage and then the reboot is what causes it to populate with folders because that's where it looks for them. I assume you forgot to do this after the formatting because right now it's trying to look at TF1 again since the format.
>>12922232Shit. You're right. I'm sorry. I forgot that step. My mind was following the steps from that tutorial website I initially posted earlier, forgetting that that tutorial wasn't for Knulli. My bad. Thanks again. It's working now. I can see the folder paths in my computer after having set the storage device to that TF2 card.
>>12922236I guess one last thing to mention is that once you've done all the setup you want with your RG SP you should allow the device to charge until it hits 100% on the battery. Turn off wi-fi if it refuses to pass the 99% mark after 5 minutes. Once it hits 100% and stays there for like 1-2 minutes unplug the charger and then after about 15 seconds the battery will be calibrated. This basically allows the system to get a true reading of your battery percentage rather than relying on what the chip in the battery is telling it and you'll gain a solid amount of time just by doing this because it's not roughly guessing anymore. I noticed the drain is way slower on all the devices I own that run Knulli since doing this.You can see if it's calibrated by going to "System Settings", "Information", and then at the bottom it's right above "Video Driver". Should give you an extra 30 minutes to an hour.

If it's the latter, then I did not know any of this.
>>12922245https://knulli.org/configure/batteryplus/You'd have to read how it works yourself but I doubt it's not being used by people outside of enthusiast communities.
>>12920137The shoulder buttons. Anbernic started this shelf style shoulder buttons for their verticals but stopped. Now only trimui, data frog, and the block do it, but the block feels the best. It's also ever so slightly wider than the brick which helps.>>12922016Android supports booting into whatever launcher you want natively.
>>12921721DSilooks good but compatibility is so so
>>12922279>We literally memed ps2 on 3326chinkshit into existence KINOINO
Btw Dreamcast is apparently now full speed on 3326 with the AI sloppa emulator called deadcastAgain, trillions of dollars are being spent to make my $30 chinkheld eventually play god hand
>>12922357Heard that one before.
>>12922357When the end of 2027 comes around, I expect that emulation for consoles like Xbox Classic, Xbox 360 and PS3 will have reached a point where even devices like the RG476H can run all games at full speed and at least on native resolution.And when that time comes, I'm definitely gonna get myself an RG476H (or whatever sub-200 dollar handheld I can get that can play those consoles without any hitches). I'm honestly way more excited for spending money on that than on a PS6 or Project Helix (whatever the fuck Xbox's successor to the Series S/X console is going to be called).Obviously, a sub-200 dollar handheld will be way cheaper than the inevitable 1,000 dollar pricetag of next-gen consoles like PS6 when they eventually come out (no disc drive!). But beyond that, there's also the benefit of my handheld not requiring constant online connections. Also, I actually get to own my games instead of getting a temporary license to play them. And of course a much, much wider selection of games.
>>12922279>0.025fpslol, so this is what you retards meant by "playing"
>>12922357>"at full speed">look inside>it's actually 0.0001 fps
>>12922279>>12922356I'd love to know how hot that chip is getting.
So apparently the anbernic DDS is the best 3DS clone dual screen handheld on the market currently.
>>12922279Good build quality and highly customizable. Sounds like a win to me!
>>12922625The screens are the ideal aspect ratio and resolution for 3DS games. That's the main advantage. The competition is better in other ways.
>>12922625you're triggering the vocal thor crowdbut yes, it's the best chinkheld for 3ds games
>>12922650The only "other ways" is that the "competition" have OLED screens, but it's near impossible to make an "affordable" non-standard/custom OLED screen. The DDS already mogs all on paper alone for 3DS emulation. >>12922663Thorfags suffer from sunk-cost. They're some of the most diehard and mentally ill fanboys I've had the displeasure of witnessing ITT.
>>12922690jack-of-all-trades devices always suck against something specialized
>>12922690Whats wrong with the Thor? I would buy it but it costs way too much for just playing GBA romhacks and some difficulty hacks of the mainstream 3DS Pokemon's and fire emblems. Maybe a Castlevania or two and Pokemon Stadium 2 on N64. But I can do all that on a konkr pocket block too so...
>>12922690Where are the thorfags ITT?
>>12922713The bottom screen's aspect ratio, resolution, refresh rate and size relative to the top screen are wack because it was the only squareish OLED panel available at the time. Now a 120Hz 4:3 OL£D screen is available for the RP Duo and the RG DDS doesn't give a fuck about OLED anyway. Everything else about the Thor is great. It's still powerful with a better top screen and better controls than the RP Duo and probably the DDS.
>>12922625It's not even out yet bro.
>>12922734Sounds like a minor gripe. I doubt the bottom panel even matters, does it? I guess if you were watching YouTube or something on VLC, it would matter but even then isn't the aspect ratio good enough for that? What's wrong with the refresh rate, it doesn't match the top? From what I've been hearing, most of all the buttons that come on Chinese emulation handhelds are actually pretty good, better than the Analogue Pocket for sure (it's buttons suck ass for real).Idk the Thor seems pretty much like the ultimate 3DS and people even developed PokeDaisy for it which is unbelievably useful and I don't think normies would have much of a problem using the bottom screen for that.I wish there was a Japanese made or American made handheld like this so I didnt have to give my money to China. That's my only concern really as a customer.
comparing thor and dds is dumb anywayone is a gpdwin analogue with a fancy small bottom screen for multitasking and statistics and another is a 3ds cloneyou won't buy a thor if you need 3ds only and you won't buy a dds if you want to emulate 16:9 systems and compromise on other systems
>>12921660And (you) base that on, what exactly?
>>12922734>>12922747Thor ergos are fucking shitt. Returned mine
>>12922758If I want to emulate 16:9, I have a million devices and my fucking smart fridge to run it on. 3/DS is the most annoying console to emulate because of the screens.
>>12922747If you're not using your dual screen handheld to emulate dual screen games, I question why you even have one. DS games which span both screens look like ass because of the mismatched size, which is worsened by the aspect ratio. 120Hz is good for minimising input lag. On the Thor, you have to choose between screen tearing on the bottom screen or increasing lag by locking both to 60Hz.Buttons on the Thor and Duo are largely the same, triggers might be slightly better on the Duo. But the "Switch style" analog sticks are quite disliked on the Duo. I don't know if anyone has their hands on a DDS to review it yet. Thor is a good all rounder, single screen games will look and run better on it than the other two, but it does kinda suck at dual screen which is its main gimmick.
>>12922747>Japanese madeGet a used 3DS>American madeLOL LMAO
>>12922616At the moment, very.>>12922357Where do you see that?>>12922645You should still use something like root uninstaller or adb app control to disable or delete some shit. Android past version 9 became a resource hog.
>>12922747>I doubt the bottom panel even matters, does it?It's literally the selling point of the device. What kind of retarded question is this?
>>12922773Because it's a dualshitter. A clamcel dualshitter. The only clamcel with ergos was the shield and maybe gpd win 2 sortof.
>>12922773I have some medium sized hands and the regular 3ds is pretty comfy for me even after hours of use. The DS lite was too small and I'd feel my hands cramping while using it. If they had a screen and battery replacement for the 3DS, I would get it modded in a heartbeat. What was wrong with you holding the Thor? Do you have similar sized hands? I thought the Thor would be built with Chinese sized hands in mind. >>12922786Unfortunate to hear that. I only play pokemon, fire emblem, and Castlevania so I don't think I'll have the same issue (was never a sonic fan). If I ever get a Thor, I would only get it to play my 3DS pokemon and maybe stream games from my PC as I have a strong enough one for it. The price is insane though, maybe if it was $300 CAD for the lite model, I'd get it. >>12922787I have a 3DS but fuck that shitty screen. >American madeOne can only dream.
>>12922815Oh man I love adb app control. Thanks for the heads up, anon!
>>12922823I had no idea that there even existed games like sonic where the bottom screen was lined up to the top and made an extension to play on. For the games I always played like pokemon and fire emblem, the bottom screen was always used for info, not for viewing the main content. Shame it's not perfect but I don't think the bottom screen really affects a lot of people. I see what you're saying though, just my use case is different.
>>12922827>I have a 3DS but fuck that shitty screenyou zoomers would play 16 bit on and lcd and say it looks good
>>12922827My hands are 8inx4in and it was uncomfortable to hold.
>>12922843Going off this the width is actually 3.5in; length is the same.
>>12922843>>12922856holy shit your hands are big
>>12922841I was born in 95. The Thor is pretty much endgame hardware for me but it's just too expensive. I've played through all the 3DS games I like and most romhacks are GBA. Maybe in the future if there are new DS romhacks, I'll look at getting a Thor, otherwise a regular konkr pocket block is enough for me.>>12922843Oh I see. That's a shame. And it seems like such a nice luxury item. Perhaps a different company will give us something similar (OLED screens) but much more design conscious for a fraction of the price.
>>12922886It's called the duo.>PremiumGlass != Premium. Glass was/is shit for phone backs and it's shit for handhelds. Smudges, breaks, heavier, etc. literally nothing but downsides.
>>12922867How big are your hands? What devices do you use regularly? I have similar 8x4 hands and they're not suited to holding a Thor, it's quite a bit larger than the 3DS and the 3DS was practically perfect ergonomics-wise for me. >>12922856Those are average sized hands. The original 3DS fits perfectly in those hands. I need something for when I lay down in bed so the weight of the system would be coming down on my hands. The Thor would be like the 3DS XL to me, way too big and way too heavy for playing Pokemon for a couple hours at a time in bed.
>>12922907I'm a pinoy so I'm small in general tbdesu
>>12922905Oh wow... I'll watch some reviews of this. Thanks, anon!
>>12922910I feel you fren <3
>>12922076In my experience with RG DS+ and GammOS NANO, it is the way it DRAAAAAGS... how it HAAAAAANGS in certain aspects.The A2 microSD and loading tricks are not enough to make up for 1GB RAM.For example, I used to think GammaOS was "losing" my scrapped cover art. I scrapped 3 times, a couple thousand covers.Why? Because GammaOS takes 20 so seconds to "load", then I would navigate to the consoles and all ROMs would lack boxart that had been already added in the previous boot.I assumed it was some issue with settings so I moved the Boxart folder to TF2 to be able to ensure the files are there and have not been deleted by the OS. Yeah... files were never deleted, nor lost.GammaOS takes 20 so seconds to "load", and then you have to wait another 20 30 so seconds for boxart to populate in their respective consoles.Dude, not even MuOS dared so much xDDDDDFuck that, I am out.BananaOS, no kidding, sometimes it loads in 5 seconds, all covers are cached, no matter how fast you make it to the console ROM list.Again, after I experienced Nano for almost a month, I checked some youtube videos on GammaOS running on higher end Android devices, and it moves snappy, even with a bunch of cosmetic details missing from Nano.GammaOS looks like it is excellent in its habitat. Android running on 1GB RAM, on the other hand, is just a novelty - an anecdotal curiosity.

BananaOS almost makes me want an RG DS Plus. One of the coolest custom OS options I've seen.
Haven't been here in a while so I might've missed the discussion, but anyone else is completely uninterested in all these dual screen versions of emulators coming out lately?I have no idea why I would want a superfluous menu on the bottom screen all the time, when the game is not even balanced around it.Even official DS/3DS ports of games struggled to find any use for the bottom screen.I'd rather just turn off or dim the bottom screen while emulating single screen games and save the battery life, that's what I already do.

>>12921173Thats bootiful anon
>>12921656I tried playing Platinum on some emulator on my computer before, I forgot which emulator it was but I remember the opening cinematic had a bunch of visual glitches, so if the new custom firmware takes care of that then that's great news for me. I already have a DS but every time I play on it feels like the last time the console will power on, so I'm hoping Anbernic rescues me again here.>>12921818>Stock is unusableMy current DD is the RG34XX, I'm glad that Anbernic has figured out people mostly want Retroarch and not the slop Anbernic ships their consoles with and let you pick Retroarch on the RG34XX instead of the stock emulators without having to mod the firmware, but also disappointed that their attempt at a DS seemingly either didn't do that or did it in a really half-assed way. Thanks for the info either way.
>>12923238Same. The funniest thing is it released right after I sold mine because my games didn't work in drastic properly and I couldn't imagine it would run melonds someday.
>>12920043
>>12923160>If Nintendo did this, i...Stop lying.
>>12923474hehehe ;)
I tried that Slot frontend and didn't like it, it's full of small UI bugs and it doesn't even look good.After that I tried SpruceOS, it has a lot more customization, options and supported systems, however I don't think it looks that good either despite all the themes, there are weird text scaling issues and everything seems a bit hacked together.Knulli might still be the less worse option.
>>12923619there's a new frontend that's open source for android; more KINO than that gay paid shit emulation station and socket (bunch of faggots). It's called Cartouche and it's not on 1.0 yet but it's getting there. Most systems are supported in the menu. I'm gonna install it on my pocket block once i get it: https://github.com/Hakimba/cartouche
>>12923238Even their website looks great:https://bananaos-cfw.dev/
>>12922786The issue with the Thor is the dual screens are mismatched making the (3)DS experience kind of shit. Ideally you want a pocket duo (both screens are properly scaled but with bezels) or an rg dds (both screens properly sized but obviously kinda small and no OLED).
Is there an agreed upon best CFW for RG Cube XX or should I just stick with MuOS like usual?
>>12923106Yet sadly it remains the overall best option
>>12923247I'd like one but I'm waiting until it gets better/solved since all of the releases so far are compromised in some way with them all trying to jump the dual screen craze asap, not to mention these companies can barely handle one screen. I look forward to seeing what Miyoo announces early then takes years to release a shitty version of after Anbernic already smoked them.
>>12923619>there are weird text scaling issues and everything seems a bit hacked together. Feels like a less-polished version of CrossMix (rippu). And, despite technically being just a frontend, some emulators run worse on it than on MuOS.
>>12924000>best option is to endure through the sluggish and buggy UI and just play all the games with overclockidk I like my batterytime not being less than 2-3 hours
>>12924220Well I like it on my 35SP at least
>>12924273this is about RGDS+ though
>>12924294Sorry I thought it was for a different reply. Android is the best for everything except serious gaming which means it's perfect for chinkhelds.
Ok this is getting out of hand now kek
>>12922616A lot of chinkhelds have a surprising amount of room for little heatsinks Here is my 405m
God I can't wait for the single good game on 3ds to get slopcomped and have proper control options
Spruce fixed the the stick calibration btw my fellow TSPchads
So what's going on in the world of chinkhelds todayStill using my RPF2, hinge is a little loose at the midpoint but the open position is firm.
>>12924336What are those made up words on the screen
>>12924448Basically nothing, still in the early days of dual screens.
>>12924448Clamshells still suck.Anbernic is now selling chinkhelds that won't exist for 3 months.Glass fronts are cool again now that we have to chill a new Ayn.Everyone is slopping a new emulator fork that solves everything every other week, the veteran devs simply refused to ask clod to fix everything. No, I didn't test it, open an issue.Everyone is slopping a new OS for h700 no one uses every other week as well, and included in that is the flashy frontend disease arriving on budget devices.
>>12923731>Bananaos>no BananOSOne fucking job
>>12924485>Clamshells still suckWhen was the last crack issue? Haven't see anyone complaining about the RG DS or the retroid duo yet.I just want one that isn't so fucking big
>>12924743RP Flip 2 is a great size desu. The anbernics are smaller still but the ergonomics aren't as good.
dude should i get a konkr pocket block or a used switch lite and mod that instead?
I've decided on these for my kids(6 & 7)and the mangami air x for myself.
>>12924905Last I knew, modding the switch lite is a pain in the ass.
>>12924929damn the last thing id wanna do is make bots out of my kids and get them playing video games. i only played vidya cuz i was restricted in freedom for a long time and i was only wealthy enough to buy a console and some games. i dont want my kids to be gamers and incel nerd losers
>>12924905The fact you considered the switch lite in the first place means you want modern games so that. Reminder, you will solder unless claude finally cracked that shit.>>12924931It's the easiest to hardware mod but he'll probably still need a magnifying glass.
>>12923731God! That website is GORGEOUS.Fast, yet swiftly animated, simple yet well exposed.The only thing missing from BananaOS is a good Manual on how to do specific stuff. I asked in the Discord and got completely ignored.
>>12924936An incel gamer nerd transvestite just flew over my house
>>12924945im only gonna play pokemon romhacks, fire emblem and thats it. a switch is like a little more than the price of a block for me. i could end up spending extra money to get all the tools to mod it but it would just be expensive in the end>>12924948i want my kids to be successful and to have parents in their lives that know what theyre doing. the last thing id want is to abandon my kid and give him video games to pass the time
>>12924936Wow you sound like a massive loser. They play sports, are of exceptional intelligence, and they're white so I'm not worried they'll have the same issues as you.You can play videogames and not be a failure. It's possible.
>>12924948You live under a bridge?
>>12924936Sounds like you're a joyless fuck and you should consider a suicide before some poor, naive woman will find you and decide to be mother of your kids out of pity.
>>12924632LELBananOs I will call it this from now onxDDDIs it too late to ask Claude to do a timeline collapse and shift us to the one with BananOS?>>12924957Fair enough. I rather them become addicted to collecting and playing physical media than doing drugs and other curiosity/danger outlets for their higher IQ tendency of risk taking. These gifts are great for roadtrips, for waiting rooms, and private little moments here and there, it was used as an incentive with me, so I could play games after reading a couple chapters of books.No restriction nor indulgence by itself will rear a kid and give you the adult, it is a trajectory that needs full on parent involvement. Hell! I have teached Liberation Theology to my nephew playing "Holy Invasion of Privacy, Badman! What Did I Do to Deserve This?)". Everything can be a tool to capture attention and guide it. But what do I know I have no children, but all my cats play fetch like dogs, literally bring the toys to me each time I toss them. It just takes consistency and the eye to see openings in their attention to capture it. >>12924974I am effectivelly a troll living in the boiler room under an Arcade.
>>12924936sounds like your freedom should've been more restricted, permanently
>>12924969just be careful man. if you havent taught them to overcome real obstacles with real effort then they will regress to their child like state and play video games to avoid their problems in real life when they grow older. if you really care about your kids, you will make sure they have outlets for creativity and passion which aren't heavily reliant on technology. Like reading, writing, etc. Video games are a drug, especially for the young mind. Unless your kids are skipping advertisements and are redpilled on the jews, i wouldnt let them have video games and stuff or even hang out with kids that do have them. Most parents are bots and their kids will be bots like them. If you have kids and don't know this much then I feel bad for your kids. You sound like you have the resources to raise them well. I wish you nothing but good luck, may your children make the Lord proud.>>12924975if im a joyless fuck, why would any woman fuck me out of pity? your logic is as retarded as your worldview. do you even know where you are?>>12924983in fact, taking a child's freedom away is what pushes them towards high-risk criminal behavior. keeping a rat in a cage and giving it bright colors to stare at doesnt make them better, it makes them worse. humans dont naturally evolve unless theyre put under duress and made to achieve.
Some anon made ports of Xbox games for the R36S. I'll link the site.https://oldbits.net

>>12925120N
>>12925065Just tried out MXvsATV and it runs very well on my anbernig 353m running rocknix so it will be nice to have it and other Xbox ports to play . That said i wish they would just submit the ports to postmaster instead or at least make their ports compatible instead of making a new hub and method to installing ports .The hub isn't compatible with what rocknix expects so you can't launch games in emulation station or quit them with holding start and select.It's also sketchy that they are distributing assets
>>12925065Looks a little commercial for just "some anon"

>>12925656They run like butter on the RG DS+ the issue with BananaOS is that the Paired Bluetooth controllers I have tried thus far do not work, but reported it already and they will check with Upstream Rocknix for driver patches, because you know we need a second stick missing from RG DS PLUS, the only hope is a bluetooth controller. The app does not even launch on RG34XXSP with 2GB ram, it is not the ram, they launch fine in RG DS+... who knows. Based Epic App, BTW

>>12924448Your shits slowly breaking Do emergency surgery before it's too late
>>12925631Nope, I typically don't sleep my devices I just shut them off or leave them open until I get back to them so my experience is minimal. I tested in Knulli for you just now in the menu and in a game. My battery is calibrated according to Knulli and this is that modified RG34XX-SP build so it's not even one made specifically for the RG SP as that doesn't exist yet which might make it even better down the line.ES Menu>Closed the lid at 10:53pm at 71%.>Opened the lid at 11:17pm at 70% (Was 71% when I opened it, only shifted after a few seconds).GBA Game>Closed the lid at 11:19pm at 70%.>Opened the lid and backed out of the game to check the battery at 12:06am which was at 70% but then dropped to 69% after two seconds and held there.
This fag keeps popping everywhere. Can't him just shut the fuck up? This redditor was blogposting here, now he is flirting with the retarded banana OS dev.
>>12924485Nothing, really.Between components being more and more expensive and producers running out of ideas how to repack the same guts in different way we naturally reached the point of stagnation.Anbernic and Retroid are ducking it out against the very last unexplored niche that are non-shitty DS/3DS handhelds, but even that seems to be mostly solved.Emulator and CFW devs are also slowing down, with exception of AI monkeys but their shit is mostly awful and not worth caring for.In some way this peace is not bad? People finally can start playing the fucking games instead of vigorously masturbating to biweekly new release from Anbernic.I suppose people wait for Miyoo Mini Flip V3 because it was quietly announced to few people.Apparently China is more seriously looking into starting production of ARM-based stationary PCs built completely out of Chinese parts and running HarmonyOS. I assume that some producers may branch out to that market if it will end being profitable?
>>12926173ducking it out for the very last unexplored niche*edojfko4qkf sorry for my ESL, I'm sitting here sick and cold and kinda hungry because I forgot that it's national holiday and shops are closed.
>>12925656It is real bro, just try itI am playing ninja gaiden black on a r36s clone, that costs about $25
>>12925065>>12926179>Moldova>begs for moneyIs this a scam?
>>12926182Nope, it is real. I have tried it and it works just fine. Ninja gaiden black, Star Wars Battlefront, even Guitar hero from ps2. All of them runs just fine. Give it a try.
>>12926184Just because it plays games doesn't mean its not a scam . The non optional always online proprietary gamehub is sketchy as hell and I don't blame people for staying away from it even if battlefront runs well .
>>12926215What would be the scam? The games will suddenly stop running well? LOLNigga, buy me a coffe existed since before you were bornhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6WHBO_Qc-Q
>>12926184https://youtube.com/watch?v=fkydq8qmNkAI have an acutal to literal shart36s so EYE will be the judge. These type of things are always covered by spic and slav jewtubers so im wary
>>12926215You can use the hub offline, so what is your point? I am using it on a r36s that doesn't have wifi module
>>12926249tell us pls, i saw lego star wars there, can you try it?
>>12926230I have nothing wrong with them taking donations , that is common and expected . The sketchness is from it being proprietary , from them distributing full game ROM/assets even though that's a needless hosting cost and most of all from them trying to monetize the game hub with ads
>>12926290...so? even 4chan has ads, it 4chan a scam?they made a good job in my opinion, and are trying to get some coins for it, what is the problem? long as i dont need to pay to play, its okay
>>12926296>is 4chan a scamfixed
>>12926290Yeah, at the very least hosting the game files directly makes this extra fishy and puts a huge target on his back, which he wouldn't need to worry about if it was meant to be a short lived scam. I wouldn't run these while on a network.>>12926296Yes.
>>12926303maybe that is why they host it in moldova, as another anon saidalso, i have found some good slav hosts for about $10/month, so it doesn't seem all that expensive
>>12926296Trying to make money with ads is sketchy AF in this scenario because there are no ads because who tf wants to advertise on a chinkheld ?They will get no money from advertising and will be left we a huge hosting bill from hosting whole Xbox games for free.Who knows what that will make them do .
Do you think running prboom with an uncapped frame rate on a modded o3dsxl is a bad idea? When I play quake in ironwail with an uncapped framerate my fans blast off to the moon and as we know the 3ds has no fans. Apples and oranges but can anyone advise?
>>12926348if it runs then it's goodI don't think it's possible to overheat a 3ds
>>12926318>and will be left we a huge hosting bill from hosting whole Xbox games for freewhat the fuck are you talking about? do you really think you can host something and pay later? they are paying for it, and after a quick analysis, i saw that they are hosting it somewhere elseyou keep saying that this is a scam because (some nonsense thing here) for no reason, the games plays like butter, i have downloaded and doesnt matter if they go offline, i still will have the gamesjust disable your wifi and try to play, there is no "online only gamehub", just stop shilling against it, it is a good project and we need more things like that. And about they hosting roms, dont say like we woudnt download it from another random website anyways, it just make it easier
>>129262964chan is definitely a scam, that does not help your argument
>>12926359It plays fuckin great, tnt and plutonia experiment are wicked smooth. I'm gonna get some more vanilla wads and load the fucker up.
>>12926365>good project This isn't a project in the normal use the word because this is closed source ,very opaque and commercial . When you say project in the chinkheld community you don't think of a steam or the play store .>just disable your network I shouldn't have to hide from a handheld game launcher like this . If i wanted that experience I would be using android . >we would just source the ROMs elsewhere Ya there is a reason this is the usal method and projects don't host ROM files themselves . Them hosting ROMs gives it 0 sustainability >hosting I get billed monthly but it depends on who you have hosting and your relationship with them
>>12925058Dude it's not that deep. They play video games sometimes but it isn't a lifestyle in my house. We read, create art, play with action figures and toys, learn to build and fix things. Not everyone has to be ON all the time, that would just cause a bigger issue further down the line. I understand you seemingly got hooked hard at a young age and I and appreciate your concern, but for example I bought a copy of skyrim for a 360(not retro) awhile back and was playing it in front of my son(7). he watched for a bit and was interested so I let him play. I left the room to attend other children and after 20min or so I came back and the controller was on the coffee table and he was back to playing with gi joes. We like video games but it isn't our entire personality and never will be.
>>12926381>I shouldn't have to hide from a handheld game launcher like this . If i wanted that experience I would be using android . I only said that to show that even if the project gets wiped out, you can still play the games. Don't play dumb.Have you even tried it? Your arguments just don't make sense. The games run buttery smooth, and you can even play them offline. So even if the website gets taken down, you can still play. I still don't understand where the scam would be, you are just going full retard.
>>12926393Oh and most importantly they PLAY OUTSIDE and ride bikes and build forts, it's great.
>>12926394>you can still play gamesI am not worried about losing access to xbox ports. They don't own the games so someone else can just port them . >scam I never said this ,it was another anon but the whole thing is sketchy af and not my jam

Gives me hope for the DDS but knowing Anbernic it'll be the RG DS to the DDS Plus.>>12927153Honestly don't know, you can try doing it on your Arc and just tell us. Obviously they're different devices but it would at least give an extremely rough baseline to work with for battery drain. I think people here with their other devices complained specifically about Rocknix being more of a drain and Linux sucking at drain compared to Android but all my Knulli devices act like this now ever since they added the battery calibration.

>>12926760what handhelds use bsd?and which bsd are they even using?
>>12927497Wipeout Omega was only ported recently, actually.
>>12927501Vita is BSD based . Many proprietary OSs are BSD based due to it's cuck licence
>>12926785I only posted kekaroo once in this thread and it had nothing to do with handhelds. You're anal wrecked over powkiddy. Let him sleep.>>12927497Persona is shit, atlus subhuman. I bet you think devil survivor is better than 3ds langressier. Soul sacrifice was the vita's worthwhile goyme.

first time I've checked in with prices for a while and dayum everything is more expensive than 2-3 years ago, even on 11/11. thought they would be going down for older devices. and that's not even counting sd card prices.
>>12927645Yes it is, but also they raise the prices on 11.11. It's not even a sale.
Vita isn't retro.

>>12927314Faggot
>>12927710>Vita is meant toBe thrown in the trash. Failing that, it can play retro games. Go be a faggot somewhere else, you don't need to announce that the vita isn't retro in every thread. I bet you don't even own a hacked wii or 3ds because of how gay you are.
>>12927743I actually own a Vita, PSP-3000, DSi XL, 3DS XL, N3DS, N2DS XL, and a hacked Wii connected to a CRT via component.

Out of curiosity, what got you all into the retro handheld market?For me, it was a relatively recent thing. I'm talking like barely a month ago. I've always liked retro games (I spend most of my time playing retro games), and was actually thinking of getting a GBA modded with an IPS screen and a USB-C charger. So I asked about this subject in this very same general a few threads ago, and one of you told me that it's better and cheaper to get a Chinese handheld. I didn't even realize there was a big market for this, so I began my deepdive into the rabbit hold of the Chinese handheld market. The rest is history.I'm more excited for developments in this market than I am for next gen (PS6/Project Helix) gaming. As I've said before in this general, I realized that there's gonna come a time in the not too distant future (end of 2027 tops) during which I could get like a 300 dollar handheld that could play everything up to and including PS3 and Xbox 360 games at full speed and at improved resolutions.
>>12927925back in like 2008 or so, i randomly found out that target was selling a coleco branded handheld that had a bunch of master system games on it, so i bought it on an impulse and enjoyed itthen in 2014 i was emulating on my galaxy s...3? iirc with a f310 plugged into it via a usb a to micro usb adapter, because good capable h700 running linux chinkhelds didn't exist yetthen ambernig made the perfect handheld of all time, the rg 35xxh, and i've been playing that ever since
>>12927931>Coleco handheld from 2008I did a quick search and this is what I found. Did it look like this? >then ambernig made the perfect handheld of all time, the rg 35xxh, and i've been playing that ever sinceIt's interesting to see how far these companies have progressed. According to Google, Anbernic was founded in 2017. Retroid was founded in mid-2020. Whatever QC issues companies like these and Trimui/AYN may have right now will no doubt be ironed out with time. With the ongoing RAMpocalypse and with how next-gen consoles are likely gonna be at least 1,000 dollars on launch (and with each game being at least 70 bucks), I feel like the retro handheld gaming market is going to skyrocket into the mainstream within the next like 2-3 years. As soon as people see the pricetag of the PS6/Project Helix, most of them are gonna reconsider their purchase and look for more affordable alternatives like retro handhelds.
>>12927925you got molested by a paid shill. it's best and cheapest to get a ds lite, but no jewtuber or redditor shill said that so no third worlder parroted it to you
>>12927938the branding looked similar to that, but the device was a black candybarand chinkhelds are already mainstream, so much so that the esa complained to the u.s. government about them being too good
>>12927943ds sucks shit, shit ergos and even shittier clicklet buttons and even shittiest emulation capabilities
>>12927953I was disapponted to find out that the DS can only run NES and Amiga games at 100 percent speed. It can't even run SNES and Sega Genesis games well.
>>12927783give it back, Jamal
>>12927938He said it played master system do it can't be that>2017That's when they called themselves anbernic. They were around longer but not the oldest that's still alive. Before anbernic, the company was called retrogame but they still use that name for their handhelds [rg] and before retrogame, they were pap and some of their shit was UGly. Max zhou pretty much made anbernic what they are today but I find it funny they made a slider before the rgslide. Pic semi related because their first slider is in here.>>12927953>Ds sucks shit...Which is why all chink dualshitters suck too! Kwab! Sp clones rule! Dualshit DROOL!
>>12927953>emulationfat brown faggit
>>12927925For me it was in 2020, freshly released from Prison. Started emulating PSX games with Duckstation, and one thing lead to another. My very first one, and favorite still is RG280V, not pictured lel
>>12927925>what got you all into the retro handheld market?I wanted something pocketable that could play PS1 games without touch controls
>>12927967no one's buying your overpriced dogshit speculated ds garbage, seethe yourself into a coma
>>12927967>Browns leh bad, even tho vid related will probably get better>>12927986>ACKyn whore out of thin airWill wait for anbernig's dds kino. Max zhou won't fuck up this time.>OverpricedUnless things changed again. Ebayfags aren't overcharging for old dsi's.
>>12927971>games without touch controlsBasically this. Touch screens are okayish for RPGs, everything else is doomed. And telescopic fixable controllers are cursed as fuck. Loved my tablet for NDS, but it is not a hinged dualscreen device like the one I wanted to emulate from Devil Survivors. The device in itself is META.
>>12927925I wanted a portable device that could emulate the PS2 and I felt too comfortable with the N3DS design.

>>12928015So what did you end up getting? The Retroid Pocket Duo?
>11/11 sales are worse than / the same as the regular 11/1-11/18 saleWell okay.
Do you guys use overlays or checkerboard grids? Or do you just rawdog it?
>>12928112overlays mainly
>>12928112Looks like a DS gameyou're supposed to use LCD grid shaders for these ones
>>12928112rawdog always
>>12928112I raw dog but middle looks ok. Right looks like total shit, I don't understand anyone wanting to look at that for the duration of their game session.
>>12927943If you're gonna go Nintendo then the 3DS is a better choice especially the N3DS, but it's expensive. Build quality is unmatched.
>>12928112Depends. CRT Shader for console games. Depending on how old, I'll also add a NTSC signal filter to emulate bad analog signal from composite video cables.LCD grid for handheld systems too.Raw is for numale performative "gamers" or low-IQ trogs.
My mom was obsessed with Pokémon Pinball on the GBA decades ago. I was thinking of getting her a dedicated Pokémon Pinball machine, what's a good chinkheld for that?
>>12928452TrimUI Brick (Hammer if you want it to be more durable for like $10-20 more) would be more than enough and a good enough size for something that action-light. If you want something with a bigger screen you could go for something like the RG Cube for roughly the same price point but more comfortable and legible.Then just slap on GB Pinball, the gen 2 romhack of Pinball, GBA Pinball, and I think there's a romhack of GBA Pinball as well.
Anyone with an rg sp running the newest version of mu os find that its a little inconsistent with turning the display on and off when you open and close the clamshell? It feels like every other time I close the lid it actually puts it to sleep, and every other time I open it it wakes it but the other times it doesn't wake the screen and I have to press power.
>>12928452>GBA>dedicatedRG SP >>12928458It's going to be a tiny ass pinball on a 3.2" 4:3 screen
>>12928491I was thinking more of convenience. That's why I suggested the Cube if you want something bigger. RG SP is fine but if his mom's like in her 50+ her eyesight might not be as good so even an RG SP might not be the way to go.
>>12928452gbc or ds lite with real cartridge
>>12928249it comes down to preference. i love the n3ds. i got it back when it was new on a black friday sale for $100 and played the shit out of it. feel like i played the whole 3ds library. original ds and gba was the priority for me and they play better on ds models
>>12928112I was using mame-cools-4x overaly at like 50 - 60% transparency on my h700 4:3 ambernig, paired with a sharp shimmerless shader it looked pretty cool and was light on resourcesNow i just use crt-gdv-mini-ultra on android
>>12928000>That framerate>That screen real estateIts neat that you could play technically REvelations 3DS on the Miyoo Flip, but goddamn there reaches a point where you're better off getting anything else.
>>12928452depends on what kind of ergonomics "she"(aka you) favorsif "she"(aka you) likes gba ergos, 34xxif "she"(aka you) likes sp ergos, one of the rgsp devices, unless you would rather have nonclickshit inputs, in which case the v90s if "she"(aka you) likes candybar ergos, 35xxhif "she"(aka you) likes vertisloppers, then put a bullet through your brain because you're wrong and vertislops are dogshit traah
>>12928112perfect GBA/GBC for me

Muos is doggo. Annoying and weirdly stuck up devs that change shit for no reason and refuse to fix long standing issues BaseOS + spruce has been a much better experience overall on h700Spruce on TSP blows muos out of the water
I bought an odin 3 portal two weeks ago but it's still not shipped damnit.Should I buy a dual screen to fill the void in the meantime?
>>12928916I had Spruce on TSP, and the Wonderswan emulator ran quite poorly, compared to MuOS. Sound lagged really badly.
I did it, bros. Bought my Ayn Thor 6 months ago and today I finally played my first video game on it.
>>12928660>That framerate>That screen real estateaverage game that gets tagged as "playable" on emuready
>>12928273which CRT plus signal preset are you using? I was using CRT-royale-fast-NTSC or something like that for SNES/genesis, but it crashes RA when I try to use it with swanstation on an 8gen2.

I'm planning to get a Retroid Pocket 6 12GB, how's the performance when emulating heavy Vita, Wii U and Switch games ? I want to have an idea how far I can push the chinkheld.I don't trust youtubers that only play the first 10 minutes of a game, and redditors consider any 20fps mess as "playable"

If your handhelds screen diagonal size is greater than the length of your penis it is too big and not pocketable
>>12929370proud steam deck owner here

>>12929068Royale are absolute beast hogs. Try Lottes or Easy. I mean you have snapdragon, you most likely dont need Easy, I only run on Anbernics, but in my Ryzen 3 laptop Royales were unplayable. Fake Royales play nicely.
