/vr/ - Retro Games

First for fuck chinkshit, only use officialhelds.

Miyoo Mini+ is a cute

not retro

>>10088174
the chadgear is pretty retro THO

yes retro

some retro

who is retro?

we pay to play old games faster

>>10088147
Im playing Ace Combat 2 and 3 on the Miyoo Mini +. Im suprised at how playable these are on this. I just beat Ace Combat 2 and about to move onto the Japanese with English translation patched AC 3.

>>10088216
I flashed JELOS and tried the emulators there. No difference. Mupen64-Plus has no text in the menu, so I didn't even try with that one. PARALLEL has the same bugs, including the game breaking one. I think all of those emulators are forks stemming from a single code base and that this issue was present in its ARM version for a long time now. It would explain why you got that bug on Vita, which is ARM too. I guess no one really tested this game on ARM far enough into the second level to notice. This is what I get for buying ARMshit.

>>10088329
It might honestly be the best option at this point, even though the world map looks completely different from what I'm used to.

Fuck it, selling my rg353v. Only play gba and psx games anyways. Getting a mm+

>>10088487
35xx

>>10088145
It is, but only on x86.

>>10088487
Why? It's just penny pinching for a downgrade.

>>10088609
>>10088558
desu, im only doing it for OnionOS, Fucking ArkOS has me up to here with bullshit. I tinker and tinker games i never actually play them. At least with the other two i can just load my games and play them without going: "Oh i could try playing this other harder to emulate game. Oh, i can apply this hard ass shader on this and-"

>>10088615
Are you saying you're overwhelmed by choices you don't even have to make? Does Onion lock Retroarch settings or something?

>>10088621
You can also use shaders with Onion but the options are way less

>>10088147
they get mad\seethe whenever i post
i use the analogue pocket the most,
along with my launch-style 3ds & dsi
i am enjoying all the shmups i missed on genesis\snes and pc engine
trying to play through metal slug 7
its not as bad as people say, but the background graphics are kinda lame
also currently doing a shiny eevee run through crystal version
i had some downtime at work between production seasons & was hatching eggs daily on my lunch finally got my shiny last december

>>10088626
That's retarded, anon. If anything, going down on specs will make it more likely that you need to tweak things.

>>10088639
It can't run Saturn, can it?

>>10088639
>along with my launch-style 3ds
That's more damning than the $200 cart wiggler, honestly.

>>10088647
you are obsessed
>I HAB A VIBEO! ITS REAL!!!

the system is right here next to me
i have spent hundreds of hours on it
the only complaint i have is the screen gets kinda warm on max bright
also the shoulder buttons arent the best
theyre kinda like flat sp buttons
i still beat mariokart gba and gold on 150cc but its not "comfortable" per se

>>10088645
no but my tablet can
i use the tab for dreamcast, saturn, n64, sega cd etc
although honestly i've been using it to spoof on pokemon go more than anything lately kek, im helping some fags on \vp\ get regionals before the event ends

>>10088481
The Dreamcast version seems to run better than the N64 one, weirdly enough. Dreamcast is 60 FPS locked in levels while N64 had drops. It's also bug-free, aside from some flickering on the ground in some parts. It's crazy that a 6th gen console is easier to emulate than a 5th gen one, Dreamcast has twice the CPU speed of N64. ARM N64 emulators are laughably bad.

>>10088657
Why don’t you just shoot your own video to prove the other video wrong?

>>10088694
i dont concern myself with the opinions of underage posters on 4chinz
let alone people who dont own the device

im simply correcting them and moving along
how can you objectively have an opinion on an item you dont own?
retarded kek


i lurk these hhg for the bants and device info
im interested in the miyoo mini +cover art themed os if its not too laggy

>>10088147
Finished this game the other day and now i'm playing Super Robot Taisen OG Saga: Endless Frontier since I actually played it on the NDS I had back then but never finished. I'm waiting for the miyoo mini flip to cooonsoommm again

>>10088705
I forgor my image of course

>>10088704
But the person who made the video also owned the device. And since they have a video, while you only have text anecdotes, isn’t their opinion more valuable than yours?

>>10088704
no, it's because you keep lying and omitting information, just like you never answer my questions. and you're lying because you're coping. you've spent at least $400 on this device, we know that much already. and you are horrified of admitting how bad it is.

>>10088640
he said he only plays gba and ps1, so that won’t be the case

>>10088657
I'm not even that guy.

>>10088734
I heard more than a few times MM and 35XX struggle on edge cases of PSX and SNES.

Just got my MM+. The vertislop poster was right; shit’s terrible-feeling to hold, and my thumb is straight-up blocking the speaker when I try to hold it in a half-comfortable position. And while I can play PS1 without analog sticks, it DEFINITELY feels like the devs back then saw stickless controllers as an afterthought.

I avoided the horizontal handhelds because I wanted GBA nostalgia and something that felt different from my Steam Deck, but fuck, this is different in the worst possible way. I’d probably go for the RK2023 if I had another chance to pick one.

>>10088763
Should have bought it locally through Amazon, then you'd be able to return it easily.

>>10088763
i love when people put no thought into the practical usage/implications of something and then bitch when it doesn’t work out kek

we got another one boys

>>10088716
>>10088713
HOLY FUCKING LOL

>ITS BAD OK
>ITS SOLD OUT WORLDWIDE
>ITS NOT GOOD ANON DONT EVEN BUY IT

do you realize how retarded you sound yet?

>>10088779
>ITS BAD OK
We didn’t say that. The video did. You know, the one from the other guy who owns the device?
>ITS SOLD OUT WORLDWIDE
Because they only made few hundred, since its a niche product that only retarded tech shreks would buy
>ITS NOT GOOD DONT BUY IT
We’re not saying that, since you already bought it, and its too late for you to get a refund, so convincing you would be pointless

>>10088792
why else would you constantly post mis-info in EVERY thread?
you are clearly chinese

Gonna play every notable run and gun MegaMan game I can run on an RG353

>>10088792
>only retarded tech shreks would buy
kek

Is 1TB SSD enough for the steam deck? I also have a 256 micro SD, I think it is enough but then again there's some fucking fat AAA games out there

This looks like the perfect retro handheld compared to the rest due to ergonomics, price, quality speakers and price. Every anon who bought one speaks highly of it and custom firmware is in the way.

>>10088815
Ask /v/.

>>10088827
Yes. I wanted to do a Powkiddy edit of this image but can't be assed atm

>>10088779
Redditors buying up niche products is how I gauge quality too, don't let them get to you

>>10088874
projection
a redditor-move would be what the miyoo posters do
>post pokemon title screen
>never play again
like i said last thread,
im pocket-posting but the only one posting ENDING CREDITS
aka BEATING the games
on openfpga cores that dont even have faggy savestates enabled yet kek

some of us are in it for the games
the pocket is a hardcore niche product
only the hardcore need apply
just use your phone if youre a casual no big deal

>>10088481
>>10088693
Alright, got home from work and tested Rayman 2 on my Odin Lite. My to-go choice there for N64 is usually Mupen64Plus-Next GLES3 and it also didn't display the text in the menu (might be related to hi-res mode being on by default? Idk), so I didn't bother to check any further and decided to use Mupen64Plus FZ. With FZ, Murphy's tutorials do show up and the switches can be triggered. Turns out to be an ARM-specific (not x86) issue affecting both Rayman 2 and Goin' Quackers, but it appears this hasn't been fixed yet with any of the RetroArch cores. Which, again, is weird given it was fixed in both FZ and DaedalusX64, the latter being a speed-focused emulator.

>>10088949
RG353PS doesn't support Android and I have no idea how I could integrate a standalone emulator like DaedalusX64 with ArkOS or JELOS, so I'm probably stuck with playing the Dreamcast version anyway. I have an old save from Project64 on PC, I wanted to convert that to whatever format Mupen64 uses and continue playing it, but It's not like I got that far, it's just after beating the Cave of Bad Dreams.

>>10088827
What is it? arr rook same to me at this point

>>10088980
>I'm probably stuck with playing the best version
damn dude that really sucks.

>OnionOs update brings Pokemon trading and easy netplay
>Pokemon trading currently only for GB/GBC
The wait continues

>>10089073
I don't think any RA core can do GBA link cable.

>>10089091
Unacceptable

>>10088926
>only the hardcore need apply
your lack of subtlety blew it. Give it a thread or two and try again

>>10089115
im not sure who you are trying to convince?
yourself? ok

>>10088981
Powkiddy x28.

>>10089107
I know. Even worse, paid android emulators have it over bluetooth.

>>10088827
What’s the word on the dpad? Hard to compare with the chad RP3+ vita one but I agree, I kinda want one now too

>>10088827
I wish this was one of the chinkhelds you can pick up on temu, so many anbernig shitters
I’d use one of those first-time buyer coupons immediately

To be fair though you can get the RG505 on there that way and that is effectively the best deal for a T618 handheld rn

>>10089336
quick skim-thru of reviews suggests it’s kinda ass, and the screen is apparently dim, has uneven color temperatures on the sides, and some people have light bleed on the edges

hmm

>>10088147
Last one I got was my yellow Super Game Box. Probably will grab the blue one next but I'm going to wait a while. Same games as usual, Donkey Kong, Mario 1, Mario 3, Tetris... Lately getting back to console emulation on my Chromebook. 3DO is fun

did I get scammed?

>>10088827
I love my X28 and literally the only negative I have with it is that it can't fit in my pocket (and occasional false diagonals but not enough to detract from the experience). I'll probably pick up an RP2S to fill that void though.

>>10089486
yes

>>10088147
Been playing Metroid Fusion on my 351V. Between that and the Steam Deck I got recently, don't really see a need to pick anything else up.

>>10089486
I want one of these, why do the inputs have to supposedly be terrible

>>10088147
>not called handheld general
>no /hhg/ in the title
>no link to previous thread
I've created /hhg/ 4 or 5 times in a row before and felt like I was 'hogging' the thread, but every time I step away and let some other anon take the reins, this happens

>>10088815
That sounds like overkill considering the amount of games that can run on the Deck, nevermind the ones you can emulate. That'll do you good since 1tb SSDs arent that expensive nowadays.

For me, its the RG280V

Finished Silent Hill and Batman Returns NES on it, any old good classic that should I play? I'm also almost done finishing Goin Quackers on RG280V

>>10089583
I can fill 1TB with PS2 ISOs alone.

Thinking on getting this bad boy

My question is, can I play PS2 stuff like Simpsons Hit & Ru, Burnout Takedown and GTA games?

>>10089629
No, not comfortably. PS2 emulation on Android is a dead end since AetherSX2 was abandoned.

Here’s the TRUE dpad test to determine if your dpad is shit. For the ps1 resident evils, if you can run and change directions with ZERO problems, you have a winner.

>>10089350
I just checked and wtf?
>Only non anberslop is the v90, famiclones, sf2000, and those locked down x12 handhelds.

>>10089629
watch reviews on the 2+ and then assume it'll be like 5% better

>>10089680
>5%
The T610 is way closer in power to the T618 than the T310 in the 2+, what are you smoking?

>>10089361
>MY FUCKING EYES!!!
>MY EYES HURT SOOOOOoO BAD BROS

>>10088763
Just sell the thing on ebay. Its shocking how much people are willing to spend on used goods just to save five to ten dollars.

>>10089585
Please respond

>>10088147
I bought a miyoo mini and don't give a fuck about onion os. Fuck reddit, and fuck youtube. If you disagree with me you are most likely a dude in a sub dress. Fuck niggers.

>>10088815
1TB is fine, and if you run out of space just buy a 5 TB usb-c drive for $100.

>>10089680
it’s insane how terrible of advice this is, i wish you the best of luck in life with that sort of approach

>>10089749
Just let him be retarded anon.

>>10089361
>>10089754
thank you chang, truly you are my greatest ally.

If I don't die in my sleep I'll recommend you something tomorrow.

https://i.4cdn.org/wsg/1686860705053894.webm
TMNT1 for the NES is a classic. The underwater level is pure suffering without save states. Are you a bad enough dude to beat it without hax, as god intended?

I want to buy a horizontal retro handheld that I can also install the android or linux version of Terraria onto, and will run okay. Will the RK2023's version of JELOS allow that? How about the RG-353M or maybe the new Retroid Pocket 2s? I know nothing about Linux and very little about android besides just installing stuff from the play store.

Any help would be appreciated.

>>10090067
Just get a deck m8

>>10090067
android based games dont work well on 4:3 screens that the retroid pocket 2S has. I bet it'll look squished if you dont go for a 16:9 screen or something like the retroid pocket 3 plus.

>>10090076
I already own one. I want something portable and with buttons, as using the touch controls on terraria sucks.
>>10090084
I'd hope terraria would support 4:3 as it's a port of a pc game, but I'll have to look into that. Thanks for the input.

>>10090090
Have you ever played Terraria on controller? It sucks big time. At least the touchpads on the Deck make a reasonable substitute for a mouse.

>>10090084
PC version at least can scale to whatever ratio you want. I doubt that would be an issue.

>>10090092
>Have you ever played Terraria on controller?
Only on my steam deck, and yes it's awkward even with touchpads. It probably won't be a great experience on a retro handheld, but this is just going to be in addition to the other games I'll be playing, mostly MAME stuff.

>>10089585
Armored Core

>>10089864
I will

>>10088147
I am honestly getting tired of these dumb ass chink handhelds. I mean seriously what is with all these dumb fuck designs? You only ever needed a couple proven good designs that is it. I get they can't do clamshell because patents maybe but GB shit hasn't been patented nor have tablets.

Why can't China just copy this stuff and solve the d-pad over/under stick once and for all? It's not like China honors patent laws.

Contra, it's the only game I like.

>>10089654
I'm interested in this. How do you figure it tests the quality of dpads? Are the movement mechanics finicky? Please be patient with me, I have never played any of the ps1 RE games.

Why does no one talk about retroach hotkeys being unfucking clearable in most FW?
The clear button doesn'twork
There's an override that loads every FW update
I fucking hate accidentally loading save states
And there's so little talk about it
Do you people fucking play games?

>>10090461
How do you accidentally load save states? On ArkOS it's select+L1.

>>10090504
Because it's be default set to function+L1
And that's what I like to save my menu button for
At first I was able to just clear the hotkey, but an update over the weekend for JelOS re-initiated my hotkeys but also kept the hotkeys I had set and combined htem, so my fast forward was saving states and my menu button was loading them.
Iv'e got them set to R2/L2 right now so they don't get hit, but I just wait for another update to just shit on the config for no good reason.

>GG Aleste 3 can now be played on a real Game Gear

>>10088147
To those who have IPS modded their PSPs, how's the resolution scaling on these screens? Is pixel density close enough to PSP's native resolution so that there's no noticeable pixellation like you see on PS Vita in Adrenaline or on those GBA IPS mods? Also, is there a noticeable input lag when playing rhythm/action games?

>>10089585

What program do you se to merge bin files?
I got a million of them for Sega CD games.

How many games you guys know that can't be played without analogue stick on ps1? Because i remember only one. fps Tom Clancy's like[/spoler]

>>10090798
I use ChudMan.

>>10090803
I only know about Ape Escape.
If you are going to get a vertical handheld I'd forget about playing anything with heavy usage of L2 and R2 as well.

>>10090803
Ape Escape, RC Stunt Copter, Delta Force: Urban Warfare, Tiger Woods, Legend of Mana, didn't one of the Resident Evil games require it?
There's also a bunch of games that while technically playable, are shit to do so due to the lack of smooth movement.

>>10090805
I'll keep that in mind, just after posting I finally found something.
https://krikzz.com/pub/support/mega-everdrive/pro-series/cdfix/
It's retard proof, drop the exe in a folder and it will scan every sub folder merging bin files

>>10090812
Why?

>Delta Force
This one i played. RE doesn't require it at all. only for vibration.

>>10088147
Castlevania Aria of Sorrow on my Miyoo Mini+.
Also a package for me with my RG35XX arrives today, I'm gonna put Koriki on it and see how is the NDS emulation. Would be amazing if it played FFTA2 reasonably well.

>>10090837
Based idort anon.
I'm going to try Koriki as well, I don't like the UI of Garlic OS.

>>10090837
99% of nds library require 2 lcd, how are you gonna deal with it?

>>10090852
You mess with the settings of the emulator so 1 screen is large while the second is tiny, then set up a hotkey to swap between the two.

>>10088147
what the fuck is that gay ass zoomer key thing sticking out of the side?

/vr/ is not your personal blog
you do not own threads

If enthusiasts on reddit can mod inline shoulder buttons into stacked shoulder buttons, why can't Chinese manufacturers?

>>10090883
Not having /hhg/ is stupid as it makes the thread harder to find for folks searching for it, particularly people looking for the thread from /g/ as they specifically reference /hhg/ in the /csg/ thread.
Not having links to the previous thread makes it more tedious to refer to past conversations.
Not having the google docs link is fucking retarded beyond all comprehension.

For months I've hated using my Analogue Pocket due to the terrible d-pad, but I recently came across a helpful guide that's reduced the problem to a somewhat manageable level. I wouldn't want my fellow analchampions to suffer like I have, so I thought I'd share.

It says this on Onion/Garlic wiki
>Roms in .bin format must have accompanying .cue files or they will not be displayed.
I merged games that had multiple bin files and now all of them have just one bin and one cue but games are being displayed twice.
What am I doing wrong?

>>10090816
That's good you found something, sounds like it does the same thing. Only difference with chdman is you double click the .bat rather than the .exe and it converts all the bin & cues in the folder or any sub folder to chd.

>>10089629
>Analogue triggers
Finally, the Dreamcast racing machine

>>10091030
yep, this is gonna be pretty sweet for Red Dog especially in my case.

>>10091019
Your suggestion was better, as I said here >>10091015 games are showing twice.
It also seems to handle multi disk games properly.
Here's the tutorial in case someone has the same problem.
https://wiki.recalbox.com/en/tutorials/utilities/rom-conversion/chdman

I think the thread would benefit from a pastebin or something.

>>10090885
I doubt those would feel much better than inline. Inline vs stacked is only part of the story, device width is also very important.

>>10091080
Maybe. The R2 and L2 have been enlarged slightly to extend over the edge of the handheld by a few mm. The same could probably have been done to R1 and L1 in the opposite direction.

>>10090459
They use tank controls. This means a character running forward will move forward regardless if the camera changes. Moving the left or right on the dpad shifts your character's direction. A decent dpad will make you run while turning in any hallway with a fork. (Vita, rs97, rg300, 3ds) Running while turning is harder to do with a less than decent dpad. (2ds, razor kishi) I'm not sure why rgc started the contra test meme.

>>10091146
yeah he basically just traded one extreme for another. a d-pad that passes le contra test is ironically not an optimal d-pad as it's indicative of a d-pad where it's too difficult to hit diagonals.

>>10091220
That's why you've got to test it and fine tune things until you get a d-pad that can both play contra and throw hadoukens

WHERE ARE THE 2S+ REVIEWS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

>>10091320
You VILL buy blind, gweilo.

>>10088763
you didn't think about that before you bought the damn thing? what the fuck? that form factor is why i opted for the rg353sp instead. good first chinkheld and I can move up to something better if i like it enough.

>>10088147
whats better? linux or android?

>>10091332
It’s sold out anyways, every single color, so no I guess reddit is beta testing this one for me but you better believe I was about to paypig for it

>>10091387
it's not sold out anon, that's just what their listings say be default before they go on sale. it goes on sale in 2 days.

>>10091387
>>10091391
this is how Shopify works for everyone, it’ll display “sold out” for non-live items

>>10090852
Just got it, out of the box you have just one screen visible at a time and you can switch between top and bottom screen with L2/R2. I think there's an option buried in settings to have them side by side, or stacked vertically (with a lot of empty space on the sides).

So far I checked FFTA2 and Pokemon HeartGold. They seem to run close to full speed, but sound breaks randomly and starts crackling from time to time. I guess this is playable if you turn off the sound and game doesn't display too much info on the second screen, otherwise you'll be changing screens a lot and that's not nice experience.

Anyway, Koriki doesn't seem stable and polished enough at the moment for me to justify keeping it. GarlicOS is next, and I think I'll stick with it for the time being.

>>10091391

I am sorry, I lived in Florida for 25 years I never really had a chance

Just completed the Sanctuary of Stone and Fire in Rayman 2 on RG353PS and I gotta say: those analog sticks definitely pass the test. This level is quite long and hard and features riding on giant fireproof plums across lava. Those plums move inverse to the direction Rayman shoots in while he stands on them, and the level is designed in such a way that rapidly changing shooting direction is often necessary. I didn't have the slightest problem completing it on this device. These analog sticks are quite recessed, but they are also quite sensitive, and very comfortable once you get used to them.

>>10091441
self-awareness puts you in the upper half alone, keep it up floridaman

>>10091448
based. thanks for that info. i was a bit concerned about the sticks on it. hope it works well when mine arrives.

>install ArkOS on RK2023 for supposedly better Saturn emulation

>don't want to sit through pressing every button, says to hit ESC to stop so I press the R(reset) button to get out of it

Fuck ArkOS shills

>>10091607
Oh and I just put in the SD with JelOS on it and the screen is still black, so the entire handheld is fucked. Thanks for nothing, ArkOS shills.

>>10091607
>>10091620
I reset my RG353PS in ArkOS and nothing bad happened. RK2023 is just a shit handheld.

>>10091620
Yeah that's a thing with the reset button on ArkOS. Do a fresh flash of JELOS (not the PK version it ships with) and the first time boot process unfucks it.

https://github.com/JustEnoughLinuxOS/distribution/releases/tag/20230721

Also you can just stick with this instead of ArkOS since it has the same performance improvements.

Just ordered this bad boy

I understand that it emulates GB/GBA and Genesis games pretty fine, what should I expect?

>>10091629
For me it was good for the form factor and price. The only reason I switched over was because ArkOS supposedly did Saturn better than JelOS.
>>10091636
Thanks, downloading the RK3566 version that it says is for RK2023 right now. Most of the Saturn games played pretty abysmally so I may try ArkOS again and hope for the best if this fixes it, but if it happens again then I'm done with it.

>>10091686
Yeah once you boot it with JELOS and unfuck things, you can can go right back to your PK JELOS or ArkOS card and it'll boot just fine again. I mainly use ArkOS, but I keep the savior JELOS card in my "game" SD slot for a quick unfuck incase I ever mess it up with reset again kek. I've only done it once tho.

>>10088815
Stop playing shit games bro

It actually lit up and works now, thanks so much anon! I guess I'll have to be more careful with the R button, pretty Retarded that it does that but oh well. Least there's a fix for it. I'll be back later to say whether I've had better luck with Saturn or not on ArkOS.

kek I had the same moment of trepidation. Have fun anon, I'm gonna go play some Saturn myself.

Reminder to let redditors beta test the transparent RP2S models first because there's always a chance these type of cases have bad light bleed.

>>10091710
Nice. I was scrolling through the Ports wiki while seething and saw you can play the retro engine Sonics along with Mania, I want to try those modded decomps that were going around when Origins came out so I'll post about how that goes too.

But it shouldn’t happen THIS much, right? I’m using a Samsung card, so that’s not the issue. Is the stock SD card reader that comes with the MM+ just that bad? I know it feels cheap, but I didn’t think it was so bad that it would LITERALLY brick my SD card.

Also yeah, I find OnionOS overrated. I was having save file issues with it when I had my Miyoo Mini.

>>10091924
Kek damn that sucks. Kind of similar but after all my fucking around my RK's games SD card stopped showing up on my PC (even though it plays the sound for when something is connected) so I had to plug it into my spare phone and connect that to be able to access it.

Where are all the african and native american handhelds?

I have been enjoying my Vita for a while, how would you compare the Vita to other chinkhelds?

>>10092201
Slow, battery is shit, analog sticks are shit, UI is shit. The glossy finish attracts fingerprints like crazy. The native library is abysmal. I loved my PSP and I feel like a jackass for buying one. If you can get one for like $50 it might be worth it

>>10092201

>>10092204
I got my hacked Vita for $50 or something like that

UI is fine, analog sticks are ok but could be better, a 2012 handheld feels way better than most chinkhelds, also beautiful OLED screen

>>10092213
>beautiful OLED screen
It was great when it was new, miles better than the 3ds and came way before they were standard on most phones. Nowadays IPS displays on a lot of chink handhelds look as good or better than the vita's early generation oled, and don't cost much at all

>>10092213
Rp3 >Vita
Gpd xd > All 3ds models
Jxd ALMOST surpassed the psp 3000 in terms of feel, but when the wii u came out, all thier designs suffered.

>>10092220
>Gpd xd
I can't believe that's still the best china clamshell in terms of build quaility in the year 2023. If gpd were smart, they'd just make another since they have experience with quality hinges.

>>10092220
RP3 was almost a perfect Vita 2 for me, I just wish it were oval shaped

>>10092236
GPD seem set on sticking to dockable systems now, most of these Chinese manufacturers were only doing clamshell because Nintendo were doing it with the DS and 3DS for a time. That time has passed.

>>10092257
is the win mini a fucking joke to you? on top here is the GPD Win 2 which was the same size as the XD. Yes it's bigger but pretty incredible size for a handheld PC carrying a 7840u.

As the boom in handhelds increases, You will notice more artistic decisions being made. I see this as a good thing sometimes. Potentially a more soulful design decision may be made. Like less cheap parts on a cheaper handheld, because the guy making it said. "Fuck it! I'm in a good mood- business is up and I always thought six face buttons was rad, if a little niche."

I hear it has the power level of- for example 60fps 1080p Cyberpunk at mid to high settings. If true, Steamdeck should be concerned.

Is pic related better than the stock MM+ card reader? I REALLY don’t wanna spend more than $5 on this if I don’t have to.

>>10091683
Make sure you upgrade the firmware to 1.5, or whatever the latest is. It markedly improves both SNES and GBA performance.

>>10091765
Terraria has both linux and android versions available (as well as PC, iOS, psp vita, and switch). I assume the native android or linux versions will have the best performance depending upon what device I end up buying. I'm just concerned that performance might still be crap, or that accessing the android part of the device might be crap, or something.

Do I buy RG35XX now or wait a few days and spend the extra money on a Retroid pocket 2S since I heard it's way more capable?

>>10092673
That's on you. If you can convince yourself you don't need a handheld ASAP then that should help your decision.

>>10092689
Is it just gonna be a preorder and having to wait weeks/months for it to come out? I've never been here for the previous retroid launches before.

>>10092587
Cheap ones are all worthless, they corrupt shit (had false positives with h2testw twice) and don't last long. Go Ugreen or Baseus.

>>10092587
A quality card reader will last you a lifetime. A shit card reader will delete your 50+ hour rpg save.

>>10092717
>>10092734
Okay fine, I got this one instead. Good thing I started using that POS before I got to seriously playing any games on it.

Another question: do you guys keep all the 40000+ whatever games the device comes with? Or do you wipe the whole slate clean and hand-select only a few specific games you’re interested in? I’m planning on keeping at least most of them; I’d like to think that one day, I’ll come across this hidden SNES gem that I never would’ve thought about if it weren’t for that default chinkshit ROM list.

>>10092750
I keep 2 micro sd cards. One with the 4000+ games that came with the console, and one that contains the select few games I actually play along with all the large ISO files for my more storage intensive games. It is nice to browse that 4000+ games card looking for hidden NES/SNES/MAME/GB/GBC/GBA/Genesis gems.

>>10092750
I buy my chinkhelds cardless, every review I've seen features a mess of dupes and wrongly formated titles, never mind the card itself being unreliable. If you don't go too cheap on storage, you should be able to house 1G1R romsets for the basics.

>>10092201
It's meh. UI is absolutely horrible. It has small clicky face buttons which I don't like, weird wobbly L/R, and nowadays even a $50 Anbernic has better screen than Vita's outdated OLED (it's oversaturated and has mura effect).

>>10092551
not at that double price tag

>>10092790
Hey, as long as the SD reader isn't a fire hazard this time.

>>10092790
I can get it or the WM2 for around £600. Given the cunt fuckery going on with currencies/tax. That's not far off what I'd have to pay for a Deck with the extras that this comes with.

>>10091924
You have to safely eject the SD card ya dork. But I've only taken my SD card out a few times, I use the FTP server to put roms on my MM+ these days.

Got RG35XX on Temu for $22. For the price, it's a cheap enough toy to keep around and use occasionally, I think I'll just be happy with this until they figure out emulation on more consoles in the future with better CPUs.

>>10091980
>/hgg/
But what doesn Hentai Games General have to do with it?

>>10092943
How do you get those deals? Every time I look at Temu everything is way more expensive than on AliExpress.

There you go

>>10092982
anotherfag here, but same problem
All right, I got the coupons. Then I search for Anbernic and there's absolutely shit in there. It finds tons of thrash like LED strips or bathroom towels in the search results, but nothing is even remotely related to Anbernic or handheld consoles. I tried searching for "anbernic", "rg35xx", "anbernic rg35xx" and so on.

>>10093010
No clue, there should be a seller for some ambernic devices and miyoo mini. I found them quickly using their codenames and maybe retro handheld and stuff.

For those who own an rg35xx, which OS do you recommend? I don't plan to mess up with the settings that much, just want to play.

>>10092968
That's what I've always hated about this place, all you guys post about is offtopic handheld shit instead of hentai.

>>10090349
They have a hard time designing a single d-pad that doesn't do fake diagonals or buttons that don't stick, how do you expect things to go if they were to do this futuristic shit?

>>10091924
I have only tried Garlic OS, I'm going to try Koriki as soon as my new SD card arrived to compare.
Garlic OS kind of just works, but imo opinion the UI is just bad. I take the minimalist approach but this should never get in the way of usability.
Something I really dislike is that when you are browsing roms of a certain system there is no pagination info at all. No total pages, current pages, total roms, on top of that there's no search function by default.

I bought one as CFW development is starting to pick up

It seems possible snes and gba will end up being pretty good

>>10093550
I considered buying one for CFW because I'm sure chinks are going to jack up the price when it gets better.

>>10093550
Yeah

Just gonna wait for Retrogamecorps second review when CFW for the SF2000 drops: "This $20 chinkheld just got BETTER, second review"

>>10093550
That piece of shit doesn't even have undercharge protection, if you let it completely discharge, it dies. And this is a hardware fault that cannot be fixed with CFW.

>>10093659
Use promo code RETRO to help fund my wifes transition repair surgery!

>>10093672
They could just code the custom firmware to shut the device down at 10% power, though I haven't heard of that particular bug.

>>10092971
>>10093010
temu has resellers so some of the prices are inflated and “reduced” to make it look like a deal, but they don’t actually have a good selection of WORTHWHILE devices on there for sale, which is why you predominantly see people pushing this route specifically for the miyoo mini plus and rg35xx

the other thing is since these devices are being sold by resellers in a marketplace format, sometimes the seller(s) are out of stock and disappear from searches, thus looking like nothing people are talking about. most of the time the same seller or a new one pops up with similar pricing if you wait a few hours, but you have to know that ahead of time obviously

i hope you have another phone or a friend/gf/family member whose phone you can use to try again, cause those impulse-buy coupons expire quickly and thus if you don’t preemptively scope out what you’re buying, you effectively waste them. i made use of this and got myself a mm+ for dirt cheap a few weeks ago so i could name the seller I bought from, but they might have disappeared already and been replaced with another. there’s a ton of the cheaper anbernig vertislops at most times, but I wouldn’t get any of them

I wouldn’t do this since I hate the available colorways, but if you’re not picky about the color, for sure the single-best device you can get on temu with these coupon deals is the rg505, but only available in turquoise and yellow last I saw. This is a super solid t618 device with a literal psp vita oled screen that doesn’t get a lot of love probably because of its colors, but there is a grey/retro one that I wish was available on temu

next would be those snes controller 353 devices in terms of worthwhile steals

>>10093785
I haven’t resorted to this method yet, but I understand temu also has some coupon for making a $100+ purchase, but the trick is you can push through an order and immediately cancel it and still keep the coupons. I don’t think the coupons you get are any better/different from the first-time buyer one though – $25 off a $50+ order – but like I said I haven’t tried it myself

good luck anons, the coupons are good enough that I’m contemplating just getting another mm+ just as a backup unit if the grey rg505 doesn’t pop up. I would immediately pull the trigger on an rg405m if they wound up on temu, but only the cheap-ass anbernigs seem to make their way on that platform. I have not seen a single retroid pocket device, but you can tell hella people are searching/trying, as the search bar auto-suggests it.

Okay, just got a refund for a chinkheld that malfunctioned, time to consume more useless garbage!

Yes, it can do GC emulation quite well but do you really like playing on a screen that small?

retro goym corps said the inputs were ass and the shell felt like vintage powshiddy in his test unit, are the final versions actually better?

the screen is small sure but an inch bigger than the 353ps and rp2s, and half an inch bigger than the rg405m

it’s a 3:2 res too so a good middle ground for 16:9 and 4:3

I got mine for 60 bucks... Had to wait 2 weeks.

>>10093965
mine was <$50 and came with the updated branded case that actually doesn’t suck and isn’t some two-tone shitter like retroid seems to love to do

if I buy a backup unit I’m just gonna find the cheapest seller as I don’t need another case or a shit-ass microsd card, meaning it’ll come out to <$30

I really don’t think 60 is a bad deal, the retail price is already reasonable if you ask me

>>10093841
is this ever going to ship?

>>10093979
Yeah, Im happy with it. I dont order from china a lot so I probably should have looked around more. Im addicted to this stupid thing.

As in installing it or actually creating an account?

>>10094082
creating an account

I just ordered one. How long do they take to arrive, on average? Europoor here.

I ordered the 64gb. I'll be mainly using it for PS2 and GC emulation for the time being so I'm not thinking the storage space will be a big deal for now.

>>10094068
MM+ has a 1.2 GHz processor (2 cores 2 threads) and 128 MB DDR3 RAM. The RG35XX has a 1.6 GHz processor (4 cores 4 threads) and 256 MB DDR3 RAM. The RG35XX is slightly longer which makes it a tiny bit more comfortable to hold. MM+ has a slightly larger battery and WiFi for retro achievements. The tiny bezel on the MM+ makes the screen a little more fragile to dropping, but neither handheld are particularly rugged.

>>10094128
If you have an SD card, you're basically golden for emulation. The only problem is when you try PC games, you'll only ever have enough space for basically one game on average with some AAA games not being able to fit unless again, you put those games on SD cards larger than the 64 GB but you will suffer some but not a lot of performance degradation doing that.

Not sure how things works across the pond, but here in the USA you can go to FedEx's website and request to pick up the package at a FedEx store of your choice. They're less likely to steal shit in a building filled with cameras. The damn Steam Deck box is extremely distinctive, and valve are fucking morons for making it so.

My Mini+ arrived earlier.
I've only used the base OS so far but the sound emulation seems awful on the handful of games I've tested across GBA, PS1 and MD via retroarch. GBA in particular seemed worse than the others.
Please tell me this will somehow get better on OnionOS, I emulated a couple of GBA games to completion on PSP like a decade ago and even that sounded far better.

>>10094239
replace the speaker it's only less then $5

>>10094239
That device has a single mono speaker in a position where it's guaranteed to get muffled by your hands. Do some fucking research next time.

>>10094239
Try using head phones and see if it improves the sound or not. At least then you can narrow down if it's software or hardware related.

Any good, small and relatively cheap X86 'helds? Backing 7640U GPD Win 4 2023 on Indiegogo seems like the best deal right now.

>>10094018

>>10094242
>>10094245
I'm not talking about the speaker for fuck's sake. I'm not even using the fucking speaker.
I'm convinced the normie brain just doesn't pick up on even the most blatant of sound hiccups. Like they'll play with a bunch of stuttering and pops and just think it sounds fine.

>>10094273
Sounds fine to me.

>>10094270
Can't really make the device smaller without making the display smaller as well.

How does it compare to the Deck?

Thoughts? Just a meme or something I should own? It seems like a cool device, and being able to play carts is definitely a plus for a collector like me.

>>10094305
If you want to buy it just do it, no one really cares but I find it expensive for what it can really do

>>10094239
Just install it ya dunce. There's a reason no one uses the stock fimware.

>>10094128
Mine took a week but that's mostly down to them only being picked up once or twice a week. Once GLS has it it takes 2-3 days like any other package.

>>10094239
I think I know what you're talking about. When rgc tested sonic advanced 2, the sound emulation on stock was a bit off.

>>10094305
I don't really get the point. If I wanted to play actual carts, I'd just mod original hardware instead.

>>10094305
See
>>10091003

You miss out on the magic. It commodifies the game and lessens the experience.

ArkOS on RK2023 does in fact have better Saturn emulation than on JelOS and it's by a pretty wide margin, I guess the hassle was worth it. No go on the modded Sonic ports though, I can't get any of the Ports games to work but those weren't as much of a priority for me.

Yup either that one or the Air 1s.

https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ayaneo-air-1s-light-thin-oled-amd-7840u-handheld/x/29380201#/

Cheapest one there is $100 more than the 7640u Win 4, but that's because it's a 7840u. The Win 4 looks cooler and probably has a better d-pad, but the Air 1s is like ~150g lighter.

That's never happened before and it would only create bad PR for them and anger their consumers.

>>10094670
And then suddenly everyone finds out the shoulder buttons fall out, or the speakers pop, or the sd card over heats, or the battery explodes, or it ships with dead pixels, or any of a dozen other hardware faults. The smart move would be to wait for the early adopters to test it before putting down money, but hey, if you want to be retarded go right ahead.

I need source for this video in OP.

>>10094128
They send it from Netherlands.

>>10094703
It's from that Playstation Q leak video that's been on /v/ the last few days

Finished the snes donkey kong trilogy on the rg35xx. Audio would crackle on certain stages of 1 and 2, like the ones with snow, rain or light flashes effects like splipside ride (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NaHEEikKrco)), and most of 3 so I turned on OC "+" (medium?), which fixed the issue. Pretty nice.
Hopefully the next version of garlic os won't need overclocking.
Also, underclocking works well for some gb/gbc games.

>>10094725
Stop posting this image, I get depressed knowing it will never exist.

>>10094158
One number (average FPS) is not really enough to capture the whole picture. Two systems can have the same average FPS, but if one has lots of short FPS dips 1% of the time and the other system doesn't, it's enough to affect your gaming experience. For emulation, it makes no difference, but for big PC games that have to read and write a lot to the disk during gameplay, faster drive can give more stable experience.

you too, huh?

Anyone know how particular aliexpress is on refunds? Like if I bitch about my 6000 game handheld only has 5999 games, or something? Do I have to pay for the return shipping?

>>10094727
Did you play with Threaded Video on? Mostly of this issues is fixed when you turn that option on.

>>10094765

Thank you. My existential fear consumerism is strong with this one.

>>10094771
anon please don't scam based ali if you're thinking of doing that, only jewmazon deserves that. Generally speaking though they're great on refunds, I haven't heard of them requesting payment for return shipping.

>>10094780
probably also helps, I just turned on oc and didn't bother with anything else since it fixed it

>>10094639
How do you feel about the deck so far? I'm getting one the next month

>>10094771
Aliexpress deals with scamming russians everyday. Please think or something more original than some eastern europeans can come up with.

Is it just me or does android software degrade faster than linux or windows software?

That's a skill issue. Keep your android phone in the refrigerator at night to keep the software fresher longer.

anyone here put one of those screen border stickers on their anbernic from sakura modding? I want to put one on but I'm worried about it peeling and leaving/spreading adhesive when I obsessively wipe my screen with a microfiber cloth

nani? also maybe I need to get a microfiber cloth already. I obsessively wipe mine down with paper towels that I'm sure scratch the hell out of it.

That's because linux's default is to not work.

Can anyone give me the cheapest recommendation for the cheapest handheld that can emulate PS2/GC well?

On some reviews it sounds like the RP3+ would fit the bill or I might have to step up to an Odin Lite.

>>10095116
retroid pocket 2S seems to be the cheapest one so far based off the specs but nobody actually has their hands on it.

>>10095116
I love the RP3+ but no it's ass for PS2 and GC. Maybe does 25% PS2 and 50% GC fullspeed if I had to guestimate. An Odin Lite isn't going to do everything fullspeed either, but it'll do way more.

>>10095021
he makes these neat decals that hide the anbernic logo and make the handhelds look better overall. in fact anbernic started using something similar with the 353ps

>>10095123
>Ps2/gcn well
Retroid does not produce such a product

no offense to super mario land fans, but the physics and sprites on that game feel terrible

You WILL spend more time and have more fun configuring your chink handheld than actually playing it.

Please to buying the Miyoo Mini+, the first holdhands to play up to PlayStation 5 flawlessly this includes the Nintendo GameCube and the PlayStation 2, buy one and tell your friends!

>>10095198
I was like that the first week with my odin lite but now that everything is like the way I want it's pretty comfy

>>10095214
Because it's exclusive to PC and one console?

>>10095116
Orange pi handheld will be cheap AND emulate gamecube correctly. At least when they pick a fucking design

>>10095116

>b-but-

Where are the 6 button handhelds? I need my superior Sega layout on my handhelds

Which of those meme nano machines do you guys like best? Can't decide between the rg nano or q36.

When the fuck did Limmy get fat!? What's he cutting his gear with? A Hollandaise sauce?

>>10095345
They only make verticles one's for some bizzare reason. On top of that, they tend to have anlong sticks instead of dpads.

>>10095116
I'd look through the community compatibility lists for the RP3+ and see if the games you want to play work. Odin will supposedly do GC pretty well and do more PS2 than an RP3+, but you'd need to step up to something like a Steam Deck for good PS2 emulation.

>>10095352
Kind of neat if you already have one. Just get the 3+ if you dont
>>10095368
I think the gopher 2 was the only 6 button non-famiclone hori. Also, chinks like using sticks for arcade games. The neogeo x joypad was almost fucking perfect, but they it only used 4 face buttons.

>>10095352
If you mostly want it for emulation, you'd be better off with something else.

>>10095362
They all look uncomfortable to actually use, RG35XX and MM+ are as small as I'd want to go.

>>10095376

>>10095345
I saw these earlier in the thread before the fedex raid. Pretty sure they're custom modded

Grabbed a cheap broken dmg gameboy, fixed the problem, and recapped it today. Tomorrow I'll add the backlight, bivert mod, and one of those USB c battery packs. Not looking forward to removing the reflective layer from the bottom of the display.

>>10095008
the key is to put the decal on first, and then slap the screen protector (preferably tempered glass) on top of that to preserve it alongside your screen.

should work for rg505 and the rg353ps, can’t confirm all devices have screen protectors that cover the bezel

>>10095054
looks like you’re the first (announced) rp2s purchase here anon, well done on the consoomery

Does the miyoo mini have imput lag on the nes emulator or am I just getting old and slow? Could barely beat Mr. Sandman.

should I have?
No

did?
......yes

>not waiting for the miyoo mini flip

rumao

>>10095479
I wasnt going to use the protector because then thatll just get scratched instead, so whats the point? screens going to have adhesive on it now so not like you can replace or remove it

>>10095532
>chink hinges
>RK3566
DOA.

>>10095516
Retroactivements can give you extra lag. Even on pc.

>>10095540
I don’t know, I’m pretty anal with my stuff and wouldn’t even let the screen protector get scratched anyway, it’s just more so for peace of mind

I don’t even understand why you’re concerned for the decal in the first place then if you fuck up your screens/devices so much

>>10095516
>>10095578
just played a little super metroid on my mm+ to test retroachievements and it felt fine, and I play a shit ton of sm so I’d notice

>>10095532
Still waiting for the P60 too, right?

>>10095584
Everything else feels great. I'm just talking about the nes emulator specifically. I don't use the achievements.

>>10095593
the difference is they actually respond about the flip saying it’s still a work-in-progress whereas it’s ghost town for the p60

shame too, the form factor for the p60 is peak and as nice as the flip seems, it won’t replace my mm+ unless for some reason they go dummy and throw an orange pi or something in there

>>10095352
its great for ps titles or psp/vita games
i dont use it for anything else
easy to "jailbreak" now via browser
its a ripoff as a standalone emu device though

but Ui is comfy and battery can actually standby without dying like a piece of shit
dont overspend

>>10095581
I dont fuck up my screens. I'm concerned with getting adhesive smeared on my screen like I said in myoriginal post.

>>10095190
no offense to raging homosexuals, but the faggotry and pedophilia of your kind are terrible

>>10095368
Six button handhelds appeal to losers, and vertical handhelds appeal to losers. It's just logical to combine the two. Same with the analogue sticks.
>>10095362
Try watching some youtube videos of those things in action, and pay attention to the thumbs. They are basically unplayable for more than a few minutes unless you're only doing turn based games. Even the v90 and q90 are borderline, in my opinion. And if you're going to buy a v90 or q90, you might as well just get a real system like the rg35xx or the rk2023.

>>10095698
Mario land looks fine on an actual dot matrix display. A lot of games just look janky as fuck on an ips or whatever.

>>10095540
Screen protectors remove clean and easy, just replace them every few years if they get scratched up.

Nice try, vertislop enjoyer. But the gopher 2 was a fine specimen.

Your favorite chinkheld is the ldk game.

Going with the MM+ was a mistake

>whole device is unergonomic, being too short to give your fingers a resting place

Good Lord, I should’ve just gone with the 35XX instead. That’s the last time I listen to retro handheld reviewers; their Trump-sized baby hands don’t know shit about what fits best for me.

>>10095736
Oh yeah, forgot to mention that the wifi is fuckin’ ass

>>10095747
>when I could just move the files through my SD card reader like a normal human being
Does the MM+ not show up as a external drive when you plug the usb-c into your computer? Does the 35XX also not do so?

I looked at anbernic's lrevious products, and it seems they did make a clamshell at one point.

>>10094996
>>10095025
That's why you never do a software update after you buy an brand new smartphone. The same is for smart tvs.
You only update if something is really broken.

>>10095736
>the speaker is placed in the one exact corner your thumb would rest on, instead of the middle like the GBA SP did
Isn't this the exact same on the the RG35XX? Should have bought an RK2023.

>>10095890
lol, lmao even
RGB10MAX3 Pro does PS2 much worse than RP3+, but of course that's all shills talk about. Someone at PowShiddy decided that would be the main selling point and send appropriate instructions to their shill army. Imagine recommending a handheld with fucking inline shoulder buttons even for PS1, never mind PS2. Sad and pathetic.

>>10095736
Yeah, you should've gone with RG35XX which is of the same form factor, has even more uncomfortable layout of shoulder buttons and has speaker in the same place.

I own them both, they're both equally uncomfortable in this regard.

>>10095736
Who uses the built in speakers in the first place? You've got a 3.5mm audio jack, anything but the cheapest chink earbuds are going to sound loads better than the tiny built in speakers these things come with.
Pity neither of these devices come with bluetooth for wireless earbuds.

>>10095736
>>10095747
How many times do I have to tell you that vertislop is non-ergonomic by design? It's not a particular problem with any of those products, it's the idea that's mistaken. Gameboy was designed for children with small hands, that's the only thing that excuses it. Chinkhelds have no such excuse when it's mostly grown men buying and using them.

>>10095914
>you don't NEED a speaker, bro

>>10095352
it's 11 years old. the Vita is closer to the release of the GBA than to today.

>>10096007

>>10096009
The Game Boy Advance was released June 11, 2001 in North America. That's 22 years, 1 month, 14 days.

>>10095952
I never used a vertical chinkheld but my GBP/GBC/GBASP feel fine to hold for hours. I'm guessing the rear trigger buttons are encouraging poor hand and wrist posture.

>>10096016
Jesus Christ, the Game Boy Advance is retro?

Updated the rg35xx vs miyoo mini+ chart a bit more, based on a few youtube videos and reddit. Any input would be welcome, as I don't own a MM+.

>>10095914
Original Game Boys didn’t have audio jacks. Playing on headphones is a compromised experience; you are quite literally not hearing the sound the way it was meant to be heard.

>literally anyone says miyoo plus screen better
>miyoo has koriki too
>mono dynamic from phone sound loud + clear

>hdmi work like shit

*why it feels like just one fag hate this console and write shit all day about it from different ip?

>>10096093
Yes it did. It even came with ear buds in the box. It was the Game Boy SP that removed the audio jack, and you had to buy an adapter.

>>10095952
I.

A.
STEAM.
DECK.

I don’t care how good any whorizontal like the RG353P or 405M or RK2023 runs PS1 and N64; it will NOT run it better than my Deck, it will NOT have better controls than my Deck, and it will NOT run Gamecube/PS2/Xbox like my Deck. Why would I buy a weaker, smaller (but still not pocketable) version of a device that I already own? At least with vertislop, I’m getting a different experience, so I can justify buying it when I own a Deck.

>>10095747
>retro achievements
You guys actually care about this shit?

>>10095752
Nta but the RK2023 doesn't, I had to plug the SDs into something else to move files and such.
>>10095760
Then you miss out on security updates and your device is more vulnerable.

>>10096104
Well damn, that’s exactly the version I grew up with. This is some Apple shit right here

According to RGC the RG35XX has better sound

>miyoo has koriki too
I couldn't find any youtube videos of MM+ psp game-play that weren't complete ass. Feel free to share rebuttals and I'll edit the chart.
>hdmi work like shit
A few people have issues getting sound to come out of it when running CFW, but that's what 3.5mm to RCA cables are for.
>both micro sd slot locate on side
Who the fuck cares?
>durability info from where?
Reddit and people handling the device, but I don't own a MM+. I did say "supposedly" in the chart.
>cope about dpad
I've not had any issues with it personally, but some people complain, and I clearly marked that in favor of the MM+.
>boot speed
I'm just transferring shit from the RGC review, mostly.

>>10096126
There are tear down videos of the SP on youtube, there's literally zero free space for an audio jack. When modders do add an audio jack, they have to remove the link cable to make room.
