/vr/ - Retro Games

Which way white man?

>>10060781
Something about the look of the Miyoo makes it slightly more appealing
Also longer-lasting battery, and that's the main thing I care about at that form factor and performance bracket

>>10060769
Do you ever really use these things out of your home? I truly have never understood the concept of a dedicate portable gaming device since smartphones released. Might as well just use ur desktop and not consooom every device that pops out of chinas butthole.

>>10061182
this is a shill thread
anyone using their own tablet with actual controller
or using a literal flagship phone gets flamed

>proofs: original hardware largely ignored, cart users personally attacked

>>10061203
Why? Because that would be the sensible option?

>>10061182
Smartphones have no physical controls, you don't expect me to play using touchscreen controls, do you? I know there are controller attachments for them, but those come with their own issues and the good ones cost as much as some standalone handhelds. And what's wrong with having dedicated devices for different tasks anyway?

>>10061203
The first part is true, the second isn't. And I flame anyone using an Android for gaming instead of the superior operating systems like JELOS.

>>10061205

>>10061207
>controllers attachments cost as much as some standalone handhelds.
Nigga just use the ds4/ds3/Xbox controller I know you already have and buy a piece of plastic for $2 to attach it. Also, be honest, do you really carry these chinkshit handhelds around and pull them out in public or do you just use it in bed?

>>10061213
ive been hearing rumblings on youtube
of a linux OS that can push gamecube\some ps2
portable silent hill series would be nothing to sneeze at

my roster is stacked
i use 12 inch android tablet for anything pic related cant do

>>10061207
this is a VERY disingenuous post
nothing "wrong" with having handhelds
but my point is many customers probably could
be just as happy with what they already have instead of consooming everything all the time, esp with all these marginal "updates"

>>10061213
Emulation and software on Android is always going to have faster updates due to the astronomically larger user base than whatever lincucks shit you are talking about. Linux is fucked anyway, regardless of what you do, performance is better on windows.

>>10061220
>Nigga just use the ds4/ds3/Xbox controller I know you already have and buy a piece of plastic for $2 to attach it.
Can't put that in my pocket though.
>do you really carry these chinkshit handhelds around and pull them out in public
I do. What, are you afraid of someone laughing at you for playing on a handheld? Don't worry, Steam Deck normalized gaming handhelds among normies again.

>>10061232
Agreed. At least someone else on here isn't in denial about the thousands of dollars they spent on these cheaply made pieces of plastic

if the requirements to be "mobile"
are simply to run off batteries
>HOW DO U DO HELLO FUCKIN KIDS??
>ACTUAL CRT
system runs of batteries and cellphone portable charger
(hyperkins shitmon only need 5v kek)

camping setup
apocalypse setup etc
i'll research how to run off car batteries next

I was wondering, if it would be possible to have like a gba gbc cartridge, and the cartrige has a whole system on it, like a raspberry pi or something, and you put it in your gba and it can run emulators and stuff, and the gba only provides the input, power and display.

>>10061237
>performance is better on windows
the problem is windows wants to hardfuck your battery even on the desktop screen
i had a surface pro for a bit as my only main device
that thing was a fucking trooper
daily web, applying for gigs etc,
side hustle made me thousands of dollars
got a steady job resold the surface for 20$ less than i paid two years later

i almost miss it
my little toaster ;_;


blogposting aside,
the battery was ASS
windows has poor power management compared to ios or android

>>10061241
>Can't put that in my pocket though.
Ok good point
>I do. What, are you afraid of someone laughing at you for playing on a handheld? Don't worry, Steam Deck normalized gaming handhelds among normies again.
I just don't really see the point of portable gaming at all honestly. I hardly ever get into a situation where im not at home and have a decent amount of time to kill. Guess it may be different if I was a student or if I commuted via public transport.

>>10061254
retroflag pi case
just use an everdrive
there are pi mini that technically fit in the cartridge case but

anon i.....

>>10061256
I agree with you there. Windows should never be installed on a portable device, GDP XD was the OG goat but all the hype around the GPD WIN was so fucking retarded

>hhg
You mean
>chink shill unpaid advertising

Android wins, just use that you moronic fucks. Stop shilling this shit and just pay for advertising if you chinks want your spam posted here. 99% of this shit isn't even fucking /vr/ either.

>>10061237
I doubt Android's userbase is larger than Linux in the context of gaming handhelds specifically because RG35XX and Miyoo Mini+ seem to be the most popular handhelds recently and they both run non-Android Linux-based OSs. The performance and battery life on Linux is often better than on Android on the same SoC because you don't have Google Play services running in the background. And good luck running Windows on an ARM device with 2GB of RAM.

>>10061242
Why do you assume most people here have more than one or two handhelds, let alone spend thousands of dollars on them? The famiclone guy has many of them but I'd be surprised if the total value of his purchases added up to more than $300.

>>10061256
Your own user error on battery is on you.

>>10061298
Most popular handhelds are fucking Ally and Steam Deck. Even the chinesium 1netbook and gpd have larger install bases than your garbage shit. You are delusional to think the chinesium shithelds are anywhere near as large of an install base as Android. The ppsspp google play download amount is more combined than all chinesium shithelds ever sold.

>10061309

You ESLs are fucking retarded.
>Y HAV 1 GOOD DEVICE WHEN I CAN HAVE 9 CHINK BAD DEVICE DO SAME THING!!!

>>10061297
You have to buy a chink controller attachment to make your Android phone usable for gaming anyway. You're giving your mony to the chinks either way.

>>10061328
$2 vs minimum $100 on shitty hardware

Evercade compatible "HyperMega Tech!" coming soon, I guess.
Two versions, Capcom and Taito.

>>10061313
>Most popular handhelds are fucking Ally and Steam Deck
Guess which OS Steam Deck runs by default. Hint: it isn't Windows or Android. And I was comparing in the context of handhelds running Linux vs handhelds running Android specifically. And there aren't that many handhelds running Android, and certainly none are as popular as MM+ or RG35XX. People downloading PPSSPP to play on their phones are irrelevant in the context where I was making the comparison.

>>10061343
No retard. Sorry you can't see above your pile of plastic and exploded Chinese batteries but the truth is that because Android has a fucking massive userbase. It will always have faster updates and better software. I'm willing to bet any shitty Linux distro your gay device is running will no longer have updates for any of its emulators by the end of year.

>>10061338

Emulation adds input lag regardless if you are playing on a NASA supercomputer or whatever shit and cum stained chinkshit device you pull out of your husbands ass.

Why wouldn't you pay for a clip? How else would you get one

Android spammer finally convinced me to pull the trigger on pic related.

>>10061423
Enjoy using it for less than a week and then forgetting about it and consooming the next shitty piece of obsolete tech the chicks place in front of your fat face

Why is everyone acting like this is good? I keep hearing people say "it's only $20" but like you can get a bluetooth controller for cheaper and just get one of those $10 prepaid smartphones that'll give you better performance. Why is China not able to make a decent device that costs under $50.

>>10061338
My hands are cramping just looking at this shit.

Spat the dummy. Someone's insecure about the amount of money they've spent on these awful products. Or they are a chink trying to market these shits.

>>10061432
It's good for its price, and with upcoming CFW will be amazing for SNES and GBA emulation.

>>10060769
What I want is a phone case with a cover that is split into two. Bottom has buttons on it. So you flip the top open, it folds all the way to the rear of the phone, and the bottom stays wrapped around front. Like a split farm door.
You could even print some Gameboy aesthetics on it to work in the buttons on the cover. lolsogamer

>>10061338
...That looks so fucking amazing to hold in the hands, but will be overpriced due to official branding like all of those Walmart arcade and plug-and-play units

>>10061461
Too close to the Nintendo patent Nintendo is squatting on.

>>10061472
I don't know what you're talking about, but okay.

>>10061182
>Do you ever really use these things out of your home?
I can't speak for other users in these threads but I certainly do, video games are the single activity I hate doing on a smartphone just because of how battery draining and inconvenient it can be if you don't want to deal with touch screen controls. With a small dedicated handheld I save battery life for my phone and have an infinitely more comfortable experience, plus it helps that I'm not one of the retards that chases after every single new chinkheld release because it plays GameCube and Wii games 5% faster. I'm happy with games up to Dreamcast on a handheld, anything more powerful I use my Emulator box for.

>>10061468
They're gonna be like $60 which isn't as much as I was expecting.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9s8MWrY-zJc

Screen resolution is apparently 320x240, which is less than the 480x272 of Evercade handhelds.

>>10061474
Nintendo has been squatting on a patent for a cell phone case design with an open screen and capacitive buttons on the cover so you can play your phone like a Gameboy. They feverishly go after anyone trying to produce anything like it despite having no plans to ever actually make the product themselves. It's just to try to stop people using their smart phones like Gameboys.

>>10061474
>>10061481
Which results in absolutely retarded attempts like these that are grossly impractical and retardedly ridiculous, just in an attempt to avoid Nintendo's patents.

>>10060781
Retro Game Box, of course

>>10061481
How many products have tried, because theirs is apparently a pretty specific design. For one: capacitive buttons.

>>10061494
The buttons literally need to be capactitive for a smart phone screen to register it, you fucking idiot.

>>10061496
Weirdly hostile for someone too retarded to think of even simple alternatives. Bluetooth. USB. Not sucking endless dicks.

>>10061504
I'm not a fucking smart phone case engineer, fuckwad. There must be reasons those who are haven't used bluetooth, usb, etc to connect the case with the phone. Probably because at that point you would need a full fucking circuit board under the buttons inside of the case since the buttons wouldn't just be using the touch screen anymore. Which is how we get monstrosities like >>10061485

>>10061457
>I-Im not the chink (Even when he uses chink phones.) YOU are!!

>>10061504
Weirdly hypocritical for someone too retarded to think of even simple alternatives himself. How the buttons would then register. Having a usb connection that's universal for all phone shapes and models. Not being such a sorry, pathetic hypocritical bitch.

That would be an issue. Bluetooth seems completely within the realm of possibility considering the depth the buttons would need to sit at anyway, and the width the required battery could easily be.

60 bucks for an evercade mini is not as bad as one would think. but like every single known emu handheld, finding shangri-la would be way easier than to manage to buy one of these outside usa without overpaying on online shopping.

>>10061524
Are you okay?

Been maybe four months since I got my MM+, only third party portable game system I've ever bought or owned. Last game I finished (for the 10th time) was Symphony of the Night, going to move on to the GBA Castlevania games, of which I have never played any, ever. But I've heard they are great, will play them in release order.
I thought the MM+ might be too small for hour long action platforming game sessions, but SotN was fun and comfortable the whole way through. Really it doesn't feel any smaller than holding a Game Boy Colour. For 60 USD including shipping I've already gotten my money's worth out of it. 128 micro SD in it, maybe halfway filled now (lot of cd games on it).

I was planning on getting one of these Chinese handhelds a few months back, and was torn of a few Anbernic, PowKiddy and Retroid ones mostly, but at the same time my smartphone did start to fail me, as it not only got quite slow, but the battery and charging both started to fail aswell, I decided to get a new smartphone to replace it as it had been a few years since I onwed that one, but I couldn't just throw it away, and selling it probably wouldn't get me much money... so I did a factory reset and turned it into an emulation station pretty much, but touch screen controls to me are just a subpar way to play any video game... thankfully I realized that a cheap telescopic controller, at least where I live, was cheaper to buy than any dedicated handheld.

So, fast forward a few months, and I'm still using it and having a lot of fun, recently replaying some PS1 stuff I grew up with, my Galaxy M30 and MOCUTE-060 combo is a winner for sure!

Windows adds a ton of overhead, compared to linux at least. Watch some of the Steam Deck Windows versus Linux videos, Windows usually performs 10-15% fewer FPS on most games with like, 2 or 3 exceptions where they are equal. I'd bet money those instances could be fixed tweaking the Proton version/settings however.

I dug out my old psp 2001 but the thing is acting finicky. It won't start at all if the battery isn't installed when plugged in, and I have to try starting it a dozen times for it to take. Any advice? I'm not a complete stranger to using a soldering iron but far from an expert.

>>10061182
I used my galaxy s9 for years with various types of controllers/clips. The Gamesir X2 being my favorite combination. Only issues with the setup were having to take the phone out of the case so it could connect to the USB port, Saturn emulation still lacking, and moonlight/steam link game streaming left a lot to be desired. Running AetherSX2 and Dolphin MMJR at full speed was like witchcraft.

Now I just emulate on the Steam Deck. And yeah, I take it with me pretty much everywhere I go.

>>10061757
>Try the gamesir x2 usb. You might not regret it.
I'm pretty happy with my current setup, so I don't see myself buying a new controller in the future unless this one breaks, though I did consider this one, but ultimately went with the one I'm currently using because it was half the price, had both big analog sticks and bigger buttons, and the analog sticks were symmetrical,also prefer bluetooth so I can use it on my Android and my GF can use it on iOS without issue, and the smartphone slightly wiggling while the usb port is plugged in gives me the impression that it could damage it in the long run. I appreciate the advice though, it's still quite a good option that I'm sure would serve me well too.

Is there any point to upgrading a psp's custom firmware beyond 6.60 Pro-C?

>>10062160
I get why you wouldn't want to carry around a separate controller, but I think the proper phone case could work.
There's also the Moqi i7/i7s. Last phone I'm aware of with physical controller buttons.

>>10062306
It's $149 and a couple of weeks ago during that crazy Aliexpress sale, anon was able to get one down to $115.
>>10062318
Obviously a phone case with a well made slide out controller or a successor to the Xperia Play would be the dream device but those don't exist and we have to deal with companies shoving these shitty telescopic controllers down our throat instead because no one wants to make an actual proper gaming phone.

>>10062160
With all the chink phones on aliexpress, along with all the chink retro handhelds, you'd think someone would have the idea to just combine the two. Don't some of these chink retro handhelds already use phone cpus?

>>10062357
The highest model of the KTR1 will have 4G capability so I guess if you wanted to be an absolute madman, you could technically use it as a phone. I think the Odin Lite does too but that's a lot bigger, at least the KTR1 is the size of a modern Samsung phone.

my dsi LL were both white japan models
one i gave to my nephew (obv doesn't know japanese bc hes 5)
the other i gave to my grandma shes 75
doesnt know japanese

i dont remember specifically
but the homescreen icons you install show whatever faggy name the rom is so unless you're installing weeb roms that arent in english its fine
if you need to dick around in settings or something you might have some problems

but desu it might change language depending on what method you use to do the sd stuff
look into it yourself mines already done and i no longer even have the pc i used to do it originally
(its been nearly a decade)

sorry i cant be of more help
but i think ive said enough to get your ball rolling

It's an IPS screen, the RIPS V5. Not sure what refresh issues there might be, I'm not really sensitive to that sort of thing. I figure that the next step will probably be OLED screens at some point.

Nice GameBoys, anon.

had a dream where i received my ktr1 and it was shockingly light and comfy, but it was the wrong FUCKING color and d-pad was in the wrong location.

It's crazy how simple it is to hack a PSP these days. I bought a new 2000 since my old one was pretty scuffed up. Took like five minutes to get up and running, and I just swapped my SD card over from one to the other.

>>10061643
I've done a few changes to my setup:
1. I removed the glass screen protector as I never get the smartphone out of the controller and I was using a bad protector in general, as it was poorly sized and covered some parts of the screen with its black border, including the bottom, making it more difficult to make the Android buttons show up when needed.
2. Speaking of which, I replaced the Android buttons with the swipe gestures common on Apple's smartphones, which was impossible with that screen protector covering the bottom.
3. I enabled the option to cut part of the screen at the top, most specifically the area parallel to the camera as the hole can bother me somewhat, I prefer a truly full screen.
I'm really happy with this slightly different setup, it's not too different, but different enough that I notice the difference and appreciate it, it's nice.

>>10063075
I've owned many an Anberic RG 3 inch device, and the RG353P has become my favourite.
It's got the most ergonomic design thanks to being modelled directly after an 8bitdo controller.

Second choice is RG351V because the vertical orientation is actually very nice, especially for playing on my side in bed.

I wanted to enjoy my RG351M, but the metal shell was actually much more uncomfortable to use than I expected; the square edges weren't ergonomic, the shell would heat up and the mild warmth of the metal didn't feel nice in my hands for extended periods, and it's slightly high weight was more strain than I expected.

RG353P has pretty much solidified that if I were to get another handheld down the line, it needs those ergonomics, and hopefully a better d-pad. The diagonals are too sensitive.

We're so close to the sub-$200 smooth GCN/PS2 handheld
Just give it to me already

>>10063075

We get it, you're proud of being a transgirl and vegetarian.

>>10063075
Vertical all day baybee

>>10063515
I've heard a lot of people like the why it feels but honestly it looks uncomfortable to me. It's probably just that I only need a dpad and 4 face buttons because I only want to play 2D games on the go

>>10063579
Feared it would be uncomfortable from pics too, but surprisingly it handles great.

>create the perfect device
>big screen, great buttons
>powerful chipset, online play
>build quality, form factor
>fuck up the dpad placement
I fucking can not with this company

>>10063608
Fix L2 and R2 and move start and select up to each side while you're at it.

>>10063608
Which device is that

>>10063608
also metal shell is gay and screen saturation+res is lacking, but yeah d-pad placement is what killed it above all else.

What’s the best vertical or horizontal for playing Parasite Eve 1. Requires dual analog.

>>10063608
It's beyond retarded that they went with an analog stick centric layout on the device they're touting as the ultimate 4:3 handheld. And yet, I still ordered one during the Anbernic sale 2 days ago because it's pocketable and GammaOS seems really good and I'm addicted to trying out every T618 slop now.

>>10063659
I can't imagine the little "pillows" glued on the back of Anbernics standing the test of time.

>>10063608
This is the perfect device.

I guess I'll spam a bit with reddit pictures.

>>10061182
Handheld gaming is the best kind of gaming.

>>10063718
The 35XX is definitely the most aesthetic vertislop and the only one that looks like it could fit in with the official 90's ones. Will consider getting one when the Plus model with wifi comes out.

>>10063696
Bratty analog sticks! Need correction!

>>10063728
I think 353VS is the best middle ground, not too derivative, not too modern.

>>10063659
I feel like it makes sense because T618 makes it powerful enough to run N64, Dreamcast and some PS2 and Gamecube. All of those systems are analog-centric but use 4:3 native aspect ratios. If you mainly want to play NES, SNES, GB, GBC and GBA, there are dozens of much cheaper handhelds that can emulate those perfectly. But still, stacked shoulder buttons are unusable for PSX and PS2, that's my opinion.

>>10063724
Why

>>10063664
I'm probably gonna get some isopropyl and an old credit card and pry them off of mine when it arrives. The idea of those bumpers making it harder to put the device inside my pocket all while collecting dirt and probably turning into sticky gunk after a few years doesn't appeal to me.

>most portable form factor

u wot

>>10063774
Chinese engineering is still not advanced enough for hinges, as shown by the latest Retroid Pocket Flip fiasco. The only manufacturer who can design good hinges right now is GPD and they only make "premium" products now.

>>10063774
>and an unreleased prototype from a company known for abandoning projects
Sure would be nice, but realistically the screen will get scratched by the buttons and the hinge will fail in no time.

>>10063774

>>10063817
WHY THEY KEEP DOING THAT RETARDED IN-LINE SHOULDER BUTTONS

>>10063817
I like the start and select, and the presumable power slide button. Stereo, maybe? What are all those side buttons for if there's a volume slider?

>>10063830
what should they do instead?

>>10063792
Any platforms after GBA were either terrible or 3Dshit like the PSX or the DS. 2D platforms quite literally peaked in the GBA era, with everything afterwards giving rise to 3D

>>10063841
Two shoulder buttons for R1 and L1 and two buttons on the back (like on Steam Deck) for R2 and L2.

>>10063805
It looks nice, but 3hr battery life is a deal breaker for me

>>10063843
>psx
>after gba
>also implying ds wasn't way more 2d than it was 3d

>>10063830
You can't really do much else on vertical handhelds. At least they look similar to the GBA SP's shoulder buttons instead of the retarded slopes Anbernic uses.
>>10063839
I am assuming they are extra buttons for if you want to turn it sideways and play vertical shmups.

>>10063817
It's cooming time

>>10063843
PS1 came before GBA though, also GBA has 3D games too

>>10063843
GBA released after PSX, you pseud. And PSX was capable of much better 2D graphics than GBA. It supported a higher max resolution and more colors, which made games look much more crisp. Compare something like the first Rayman on PSX vs on GBA. GBA version looks like shit in comparison.

>>10063857
>I am assuming they are extra buttons for if you want to turn it sideways and play vertical shmups.
GKD Mini does that and it's the only reason I kind of want a vertislop now. Too bad they're weirdly expensive.

>>10063808
Really, really close, but the correct answer is the Amiga.

>>10063864
Random gaming trivia: Oddly the game Pinobee came out on GBA in 2001 before being ported to PS1 two years later, in 2003, long after the PS2 had been out. That's just how good the PS1 was

>>10063853
>>10063859
>>10063864
PSX is still far more famous for its 3D games than its 2D games. And 3D GBA was basically an experiment; they’re technologically impressive, but the gameplay was terrible

>>10063639
>Requires dual analog
It doesn't, I've played it on both a PSP and a 351V.
If you do want to use dual analog, get something horizontal. In my experience with the one stick on the 351V, trying to use analog sticks at the bottom of a vertical handheld is pretty uncomfortable.

>>10063908
I like how you just ignored everything everyone said kek.

>>10063894
Makes sense for a 2D game because it broadens their target audience. Every PS2 can play PSX games, but the reverse is obviously not true.

>>10061338

Thanks for the comparison photo. A bit of searching and I've found the PSP 2000 has roughly the same length and height, so can be used as a substitute, other than the thickness. 32mm seems like it's brushing up against being uncomfortable to pocket unless you're wearing baggy pants.

SF2000 measures 166 x 69 x 32 mm
PSP 2000 measures 169 x 71 x 19 mm

>>10064201
35xx is a hair bigger than the mini+ and your hands will appreciate the help
--t. Sold miyoo and play 35xx nightly

If I downloaded every single retro game from every console up to the PS1/GBA, would I be able to fill 320 GBs? I bought a 64gb and a 256gb Samsung mSD card from Amazon for my MM+. SINCE I needed to pay $25 minimum for free shipping, I just went for the biggest-sized pair of cards that would get me closest to over $25. In retrospect tho, I feel like a dumbo, since there’s no way I’m gonna fill up even half of that space, and apparently anything bigger than a 32gb card requires a separate program to reformat it.

>>10064349
Ahhh I got ape hands. I'll try to make it work. Could always give it to the ol' ball and chain.

>>10064481
You bought 2 micro SD cards for a MM+? that thing only needs 1
>If I downloaded every single retro game from every console up to the PS1/GBA, would I be able to fill 320 GBs?
Honestly, you won't be playing all that games, just go for the 128gb expansion of this to have a good start

You'd probably be better off just selling it on e-bay and getting some money back. All a chomp chomp is going to do is eat the thing.

Nah. I'm sure I'll like it.

>>10060769
Out of curiosity, do you guys use any shaders?

>>10063841

How many games even use two sets of shoulder buttons? I can't recall encountering any problems emulating psx games on my psp, though there's probably a few out there.

>>10063579
It feels better than a Switch.
I only own those two in this form-factor, so it's quite possible that other handhelds are more ergonomic, I don't know.

>>10064201

And yes I am aware that I have a smartphone, I need physical buttons

>>10065018
Anbernic RG35XX and Miyoo Mini+ are the main contenders for a reason, and can do 99% PSX games just fine.

Anon, that handheld is supposed to be $50 without shipping. There are much better options for $100 like RG353PS.

>>10064550
Thanks for that curated ROM pack anon

Looking for a landscape handheld that can do some PSP emulation and lots of PSX emulation for under $100. Seems like my main options are the Anbernic RG-353PS, Powkiddy RK2023, and the Powkiddy x55. Am I missing any obvious options or upcoming models? I'm leaning towards the RK2023 as it's the smallest of the 3, as I want something easily pocket-able.

>>10063980
if you have high enough resolution you can get away with it
dont let your dreams be memes anon

>>10065123
If PSP is your goal I'd go for something with 16:9 aspect ratio because that will usually give you a bigger display and bars on the sides are better than bars on top and bottom. Besides, you can use widescreen hacks in 3D PSX games. Retroid Pocket 3 (without plus) for example: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005121307691.html
The chipset in it is much better than RK3566 devices you posted, and that's important for PSP emulation. And you really don't want to play PSP games on a small 4:3 display, trust me. RK2023 has inline shoulder buttons which are IMO unacceptable for PSX games. If Android is a deal breaker for you, then X55 is probably the next best option.

>>10065141
Eh, 4:3 screen doesn't bother me, I tend to emulate at 1x scaling regardless so that the pixels look sharp. The stacked shoulder buttons are nice, but then it goes and has stupid placement for the start, select, and home buttons. I think I'd rather save the $25, but I'll watch a few more reviews on youtube. Thank you for your input.

>>10064083
In all likelihood a commercial re-release of Operation Wolf is gonna get rid of that excessive flashing.

>>10065168

>>10065380

>>10065370
As in 2 more weeks from now, or will it always be in just 2 more weeks?

>>10064201
RG35XX is slightly longer which makes it a little less top heavy, thus more comfortable to hold. The MM+ has a slightly longer battery life, but if you don't plan on playing more than 4 hours without recharging, that doesn't matter.

>>10065604
That pic should be updated, there are RG35XX models that have a 2600mAh battery.
You can also underclock the CPU to get more battery life.

>>10065412

t.RG35XX owner before you spew dumb shit on me

>>10064201
According to the spreadsheet the RG35XX has twice the RAM and a faster CPU, and double the cpu cores. I don't get why the RG35XX doesn't perform better; shitty coding?

>>10065649
Miyoo shills are getting desperate to the point of denying photographic evidence.

>>10065660
There are no systems stronger than PSX that benefit from that increased power and still have most of their games catalog playable with just the D-pad. The next easiest console to emulate is N64, and RG35XX can kinda do it, but N64 controller has a billion buttons and an analog stick that most games use, so there is no point. The N64 emulator is not included in the stock firmware and the majority of custom firmware images, so nobody really bothers to test it. And IMO, I think that's fine. Buying a device without an analog stick for N64 is just stupid.

The only reason to get a gameboy-like besides being cheap is having that small form factor. MM+ hits the sweet spot of being as small as possible without being uncomfortable to use. RG35XX is bulkier to no benefit unless you have monster hands.

>>10065894

>Isn't the X55 better in every way?
Not everyone likes the bigger form factor and 16:9 screen when most systems that the handheld is able to emulate are 4:3 or close to it. So you end up with not much more screen real estate in exchange for not being pocketable. Bad trade-off.

I need my phone for work and communication. I like to keep my games separate from wage-slave shit. I only have a RG351v and that's enough for me. Maybe I'll get another one for pixel perfect gba at some point.

Otherwise, I agree with you. People buy too much plastic shit they don't need. Still, if it weren't for people buying these handhelds, they probably wouldn't even exist.

>>10063708
>4:3 screen
>plays gba port of snes game

???

Why is Gameboy Advance twice as expensive as Nintendo DS nowadays? Honestly mind boggling considering there's really nothing special about GBA while NDS has the dual screen gimmick that still hasn't been successfully replicated in any emulation device to this day (GPDS might change that if it't real). So while GBA can be emulated well on basically anything nowadays, playing DS games on the original DS is still much better than on any emulation device. And most DS models can play GBA games on top of that! So going from GBA to DS you gain access to the whole DS library and only lose access to GB and GBC games. And personally? I think every GB and GBC game has a GBA equivalent that surpasses it. Yet it's easy to find a DS in good condition for like 50 EUR but GBAs without backlit screen and scratched to hell go for 85 EUR. Shit's crazy.

>>10066221
The Nintendo DS sold like hotcakes so supply is way higher.
Also muh nostalgia.

>NDS has the dual screen gimmick
thats a bad thing tho.

my rp2 broke down, keeps doing random inputs while my finger isn't even close to the buttons, also the D-Pad is fucked.

What are some good handhelds that don't have problems with d-pads or the buttons in general?

>>10066221
GBA is more niche than the DS, also the games are a lot more rare to find than DS games since the DS can be jailbreaked and then have games played through an SD card, while you still have to pay extra to get something like the Everdrive.
Also here in portugal, the only way you will see an GBA pricier than an DS if it's the GBA was already modified with stuff like IPS screen.

>>10066296
I can actually understand the GBA already, but t he DS line overall isn't even 25 years old yet. It boggles my mind as to why Starforce 1 and Starforce 2, as well as each of the Pokemon DS Mystery Dungeon games, the English DS versions of 9 hours 9 persons 9 doors are already in the triple digits!

>>10066103
The resolution bump should be relevant to shaders, assuming it's 720p, and 16:9 helps play GBA and PSP, which is half the reason to go RK3356. Looks perfectly pocketable if you wear real pants, the 353P is wide too anyway.

>>10066250
>Natively runs off of AA batteries
That's actually a flaw because you have to keep shelling out for new batteries and even if you get rechargeable ones, taking them out of the device to charge and putting them back in is a PITA. DS battery is lithium-polymer, but you have a service door with a single screw to get to it and 3rd party replacements will continue to get made for a long time. The benefit of being able to charge it inside the device that outweighs the con of it not being a universal standard IMO.
>lacks any form of wireless/internet connectivity.
Is someone holding you at a gunpoint and forcing you to browse the internet through the DS? I don't understand how lack of a feature where engagement with it is completely optional is a positive.

>the English DS versions of 9 hours 9 persons 9 doors
I'll give some input on this one because I played the original DS version emulated on my PC and watched someone else's playthrough of the Steam PC version. The PC version is just off. Characters have actual spoken dialog now, but the original DS "bitspeak" had its charm too. Characters use the same low-resolution sprites from the DS version, but upscaled with a filter, which seems lazy to me. Instead of having the player figure out the correct series of choices to get to the true ending with some hints in credits for another ending, they just gave PC gamers a flowchart rendering the subtle hints in the credits completely pointless. Lastly, they replaced the final puzzle with a one that arguably doesn't match the story as well as the original one. I consider the DS version better. The PC version is good too, just not as good. So the DS version is probably the best version of an already great game. Doesn't surprise me that original carts are rising in price.

How will the Sony Wii U ever recover?

So I got a RG351MP about 2 years ago and it's battery is starting to show it's age. I was wondering what notable devices have come out since then that I maybe interested in picking up. I want the dpad to be in the same place as this one, if it isn't it's a deal breaker. I would prefer a high quality plastic shell, I don't mind if its metal but I dont want cheap shitty plastic. I'd prefer to get one with a 4:3 screen size but its not required. I'd like a device with better N64 emulation mainly, DC would be cool too but isn't as necessary. I don't care about PS2, GCN, PSP, or Saturn so anything that powerful would be wasteful. Any recommendations, any price point is fine just wanting to know my options or if I should just replace the battery on this one.

>>10066518
Judging by the systems list, it's most likely another bittboy clone.

>>10066549
Look into RG353P or RG353PS.
It's an incremental upgrade over the RG351 series but enough that it makes fullspeed SA-1 SNES games straight-forward, and can do a bit of Dreamcast too.

The main difference between the P and PS is that the former can dual boot into Android or Linux, and has more RAM by 1GB. The Android environment is preferred for N64 emulation, it's lacking on the Linux side.
Ergonomically, the plastic shell being shaped like a SNES controller or 8bitdo controller makes it one of the most comfortable to use for longer periods, and it's one of the few Anbernic handhelds to have two rows of shoulder buttons.

>>10066512

>>10065968
If it's 50 per batch I'm in batch 4. Kind of annoyed, it's probably because I had to change colour after Nil cancelled grey.
Definitely not cancelling, though, that screen is a big reason why I wanted one and it looks like no one else will ever try using it again after this debacle.

Finally got my Ayaneo Air and been messing around with it for 2-ish days. Just gonna post my thoughts, both good and bad in no order specifically
>Screen is gorgeous, looks much better than it does in photos. Only played SH4 and Powerslave Exhumed so far but both look great on this thing, it feels just right for these old PC games/remasters. Granted its not huge either so playing games with tons of detail/info on screen is probably going to be a nightmare.
>Feels decently comfortable to play games on. Has nice groves on the side and feels a bit thicker than the Switch Lite so its more comfortable to play games on. Its not as comfortable as the Steam Deck for people with big hands, but it still feels decent.
>Only have the model with 8GB of RAM, but it still feels like it'll be perfectly capable of playing a ton of games on a device with a small form factor.
>Small form factor is both a blessing and a curse. Its pretty portable, but unfortunately it also means that it comes at a cost of battery life. I think after an hour or more I was at 48% battery life for SH4 at 1080p, so maybe it'll be another few years before we get an energy efficient Windows 11 device.
>Windows 11 is absolutely NOT meant to be used with a touch screen. Its mostly functional but I had some issues early on where it wouldn't work right.

1/2

>>10066669
I think you'll be able to copy-paste your existing installations from your RG351MP as they're pre-configured and transferrable from one Rockchip based system to another.

I've had trouble actually getting the Portmaster tool to work directly on my RG353P when using JELOS as the custom firmware, it's something I need to look into.

>>10066826
hows the button travel?
looks like it takes 10,000 yrs to bottom out
i like tg16\snes pad feel
i dont know why all these companies get the fucking buttons wrong

are they clicky? or membrane

>>10066775
>>10066772
as a dedicated stealth pokemon machine that specifically targets only gens 1-3 its acceptable
i only played faggy RPG on mine but the screen was kinda nice due to the ppi

i liked it more than the SP line
i played it more than my launch advance
im somewhat biased though the micro reminds me of a good era in my life
dating a hot virgin, band actually got gigs, USD was actually sorta worth something pre-2008, had a honda crx 1991 hatchback, the wii had JUST DROPPED and was sold out everywhere, cellphone was a shitmon, social media hadnt ruined\sapped everyones brains yet - i almost want to go back

>>10066826
>Windows 11 also doesn't really feel like it was meant to be used with a "Sleep" feature for games like the Steam Deck. Booted up SH4 after putting it in Sleep Mode and the visuals just spazzed out, returning nothing but a black/grey screen. The UI was still there so it wasn't like it crashed or anything.
>Audio quality from the speakers is poor. Sounds muffled and quiet. Unfortunately missed out on the speaker upgrade, so maybe use earplugs if you want to use this device
>AYASpace is an "okay" attempt at offering Steam Deck UI on a Windows handheld and it's nice that there's a built in function like PlayNite for this device, along with the option to download installers from within. There's some decent customization too like for TDP and the colors for the RGB lights around the analog sticks (you can even turn them off), but its slow and at times buggy. Also has plenty of broken English, not unintelligible so there's that.

Beyond that its a decently fine device for what it is. It won't replace my Steam Deck but despite its flaws I like it. The only thing that sucks is that this model is probably the cheapest we'll ever get to a "cheap" Windows handheld that has decent performance for a while. That and I am concerned about whether or not there will be ways to replace the battery. Other than that, Ayaneo seems to be a decent enough brand since they ship on time and offer fine quality, I just wonder if we'll ever get much competitors in the "budget" market for Windows handhelds.

>>10066843
Button travel is okay except for the location of the Start/Select button at the bottom. Wish it could've been located at the top like the Switch, only think about the device I genuinely dislike.
Buttons feel like they have some membrane to them, sort of like the Switch Lite though not as soft. Not clicky like the Switch Joycons though if that makes sense.

>>10066826

>>10066859
the reason i asked is those abxy buttons look a mile high

>>10066873
I'm gonna install Steam on it soon, right now I only have GOG installed on it and some small games on my library while I wait to get a microSD card for it. Currently downloading indie platformers like Sunblaze/Neon Abyss/Spelunky, "New"-ish games like Rayman Origins, on gonna test it out with retro ports like Secret Agent HD/Gurumin/Monkey King Master of the Clouds. Will try to get back to this thread or another one if it hits the bump limit.

>>10066882
I personally didn't feel bugged by the location of the ABXY buttons, since it felt perfect in my hands.

>>10066916
Sweet, I'm looking forward to hearing how it handles. Monkey King and all those platformers should be a great test of the d-pad.

I like the GBA line, but you are fucking wrong in stating that the substantial load or, as you said, "hords upon HORDS od shovelware" (nice going with those spelling errors, KEK) that got into the DS's library does not erase the decent, good, nor awesome titles it had. Oh, and what is shovelware; where is the line drawn according to you, oh shitbag?

Jesus, and people say modern games are unoptimized

>>10067128
To be fair you can get most SNES games to work well on cheaper systems they just can't be chipped games like Mario Kart, Star Fox, Kirby Super Star and Dream Land 3. You used to be able to get a 2DS for $30 in some pawn shops and flea markets that could run 90% of the SNES library reliably until people price gouged the fuck out of it when Nintendo stopped making them.

>>10067128
