/vr/ - Retro Games

>>10111316
why did you niggers take so long to make a new thread fucking hell

>>10111316
Is the dsi retro? (legit asking)

>>10111320
you know pretty much anyone can make threads here. it's the thing in the top of the index there. just fill the form and click post.

Let me guess, you "need" more?

>>10111362
Who cares, chinkhelds are not retro at all but are the primary discussion topic here anyway.

>>10111320
Be the change you want to see.

Sf2000 finally arrived in the mail.
-No audio jack unless you own a 2.5mm RCA to 3.5mm audio converter (does such a thing even exist? A 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter doesn't work as it tries to transmit video signal on an audio channel)
-Charging cable is too short to comfortably play handheld while charging (only 30 inches)
-No way to turn off the menu music without dicking around with system files, and even then it plays faint static
-Button mapping doesn't support select, start, d-pad, stick, button combinations, or much of anything other than turbo
-In game saves don't work, you're limited to 4x save state slots instead
-Game search doesn't have a button for the space bar, but searching for things like "STREETFIGHTER" still works as it should. Game search doesn't directly tell you what system you're looking at, you have to guess from the artwork
-Games with long names don't scroll, so trying to figure some things out is annoying. Like, searching for "STREETFIGHTER" brings up a ton of games, and it's annoying trying to figure out which is "New Challengers" or "Turbo" or whatever
-Can't change any emulator settings at all
-Can't change any MAME dip switch settings, like how many coins per game, difficulty, timers, ect.
-Can't get the damn micro sd card in and out without a knife, my finger nails are too short
-No support for cheating via Game Genie or other hax
-Mame support is very limited (no Simpsons)
+Has 4x save state slots, which is more than any other famiclone
+Famicom, MegaDrive, Game Boy, and Game Boy Color emulation are perfect. SNES, GBA, and MAME are 95% perfect after upgrading OS.
+Screen is good (for the price)
+Buttons are good, though you'll want to use the stick for fighting games
++Price is great, at only $16 I've no fear of it being destroyed or stolen given how cheap it is to replace.

Basically the thing is like a bridge between a famiclone and a real retro handheld. I bought it mostly for the novelty.

>>10111416
Oh I forgot to add, upgrading the OS requires downloading an 8gb file that decompresses into a 15gb image that you then need to use the included image writer to special format your memory stick. For whatever reason, you can't just drop the files onto a freshly formatted sd card, which means you can't just download the 100mb os, you need to download everything. Datafrog's website is slow as balls, and the 3rd party hosting I used wasn't much better.

>>10111393

>>10111393
Let me guess: you still need more.

MAJOR UPDATE ON THE RP2S: it still has not shipped and will not ship for at least two more weeks.

>>10111440
They'd said that shipping starts from August 10th, retard.

>>10111479
Yes, close enough to 2 weeks.

>>10111316
Dsi XL is not by itself retro

>>10111498
You misunderstood me. I wasn't talking about your time estimate being wrong. I wanted to point out that this isn't an "update" at all. It said that right when the sale went live on 25th. You're a retard if you just noticed that.

>>10111505
Neither are chinkhelds.

>>10111513
yeah I know I was making a shitty joke about how there is no update and we still have to continue waiting. it was funnier in my head i guess.

>Watch new retro gameshill's video on RG Nano
>I use it only to only play gameboy and gameboy color games and that's good

Really?

>>10111538
kek

>>10106352
>>10106689
Anyone know if there's a watch strap for RG Nano? those anons talking about watches got me thinking

>>10111561
nope but you can make it a keychain

>>10111538
Watching RGC guy struggle to press buttons while he goes on about how great the nano is really highlights what an absolute shill he is. The nano is a novelty and a shelf piece, not something to try to actually play on. Such tiny buttons just aren't practical, not to mention reading text.

>>10111538
>wonder wtf anon is talking about with "new... video", thought he already made review
>check channel and see this
honestly pathetic. I really and truly believe anbernig pushed him to make a new video because they were sitting on a bunch of unsold stock they didn't expect to have.

>>10111538
>$70 for a system that's only good for GB and GBC
Christ just buy a v90 or q90. Or even a Game Boy nano and a multi cart.

rage quit the video when he mentioned he enjoyed being forced to play pokemon or some gay reddit shit

>>10111587
Pokemon predates reddit tho.

>>10111592
still redditcore tho.

>>10111406
You're absolutely right anon! I'm going to start my hormone therapy right away.

>>10111696
Do NOT jump into hormone therapy like it's some simple thing akin to getting your nails clipped. It's not a toy! How do you know that going through it will make you happier at all? Don't let the Twitter groomers and predators fool you.

>>10111316
>not retro
>general on a board that doesn't allow generals
What is this shitheap of retardation?

So what e-celeb should I trust for unbiased retro handheld reviews? ETA? Retro Dodo? Taki Udon? Tech Fiona?

>>10111696
Based
post tummy

>>10111724
Not Taki, that's for sure.

>>10111724
Retro Tech Dad, and seconding the other anon saying definitely not turki.

>>10111320
Even zoomer faggots have a modicum of self respect

>>10111724
Don't trust any of them for their opinions. They all make their e-celeb money off of a combination of amazon affiliate link and staying on the manufacturer's good side to get test units early. Trust the factual stuff they say and what you can see with your own eyes. Like, in the same video he talks about how text is too small to read, then goes on to say how great it is for pokemon. The first is true, the second is ass covering.

>>10111581
Show me a flashcart and a gameboy worth a damn for that price. The worst working flash cart you can get for gba costs $55 and you’re paying at least another $20 for a used gameboy, if we’re being extremely generous. But really though, you’re looking at around $200 to get a nice gameboy and flashcart.

>>10111724
Trust me. Here are my reviews.
Original hardware: works fine, go for it!
New crap: might be okay, might be bad, overall unnecessary - don't bother!
Make sure to like comment and subscribe!

>>10111796
I said multi cart, not flash cart. They're like $9 each, with anywhere from 20-50 games. The RGC review we were talking about previously was talking about using the nano for JUST pokemon, which was retarded.

>>10111826
Most clone chinaheld/chinkheld be it from the Mainland China, Hong Kong, or Taiwan, is in one way or another a lottery, or a game of darts in the dark. I know South Korea can do more to step up, there's the gp32 and caanoo so what's stopping LG or Hyundai or maybe Samsung from at least trying such stuff out by making a competitor to the asus Roger ally, miyoo Mini +, RG35xx, or Powkiddy v90?

>>10111796
>The worst working flash cart you can get for gba costs $55 and you’re paying at least another $20 for a used gameboy
You got your prices reversed, bucko.

>>10111863
Odroid is a South Korean company and their handhelds suck.

>>10111870
Oh really? How so, exactly?

>>10111864
The lowest tier EZ flash OMEGA, which is the cheapest flash cart that people usually recommend costs $55, and I’ve bought a few gameboys for ~$20, so that’s what I’m basing the prices on. You’ll of course probably pay much more for the gameboy depending on which one you want.
>>10111830
Buying a device just for Pokémon is indeed retarded, but so are multicarts imo. I admit, I kind of like this one, though it is $18

>>10111935
For GB/GBC/GBA, what choices are there now besides EZ Flash? Krikzz gba?

>>10111942
Everdrives and EZ Flash are the only two that I know of worth buying. I’ve used some cheap Chinese carts (the old purple ones with Boba Fett on them) but had really mixed results.

>>10111863
Legitimate companies like LD and Samsung are always going to be at a disadvantage in the retro handheld market, as they won't be able to include ROMs or any emulators that require legitimate bios.

>>10111316
<3

For flash carts you absolutely want something that's popular so you get lots of third party support.

What’s everyone playing?
I’m playing Solomon’s Club

>>10111952
Those GBA supercards are still the same as they were 18 years ago, they just update them to use whatever storage cards are current. Honestly amazed the chinese are still pumping them out

Anyone here tried to upgrade the MM+ stock speaker?
I heard people complaing about poor audio quality.

>>10111973

>>10111987
It's be less effort and of higher quality to just use some decent headphones or earbuds. And most of the MM+'s shit sound is due to the speaker being right where your hand would naturally rest.

>>10111743
>>10111749
He created his own handheld tho? If anyone has the authority to speak about handhelds, it’s this guy

>>10112078
Which just goes to show you can't trust his reviews, as he's obviously getting a kickback from Retroid, what with him being the creator and all.

>>10111724
ETA can be trustworthy if you just view him like a rogue AI reviewing chinkshit like one anon joked about. He’s more of a guy you watch for previews on devices, just to get a feel or general first impressions on them.

>>10112151
I was pretty sure wicked was some type of ai until he showed his face. (Surprisingly good jaw)

>>10112159
Does wicked even count as reviews? He just shows the product, maybe calls something cheapity cheap cheap, and that's it. No depth whatsoever, at least in the few of his I've watched. RGC may be a shell and about as trustworthy as the Home Shopping Network, but he at least goes over the product in detail.

>>10111973
>>10111958
>>10112009
AHEM, *REEEeeEeeEEeEEeEeEeEEEEE*

Damn the default OS of the RG35XX sucks. No button customization at all, very little emulation tweaking besides filters and screen ratio, no cheat support other than save states, when searching for games it doesn't tell you want console you're looking at, no on device description of button controls, and menu options in general are lacking. Do chinks never play on the consoles they design?
Thank god custom firmwares exist.

>>10112214
They just design the hardware and open source the firmware for people to work on for free.

>>10111973
Does this include a matching white di lator?

>>10111954
LG and Samsung are not applicable to the same jurisdiction as Japanese companies do. Different nations or territories from each other. Ditto for Hong Kong and Taiwan.

>>10112084
Fplease go FUCM OFF TAKI TURD

>>10112280
Hey man, don't be talkin shit about Taki like that. The guy's invention of retro gaming has brought joy and happiness to millions of people the world over; show some respect.

>>10112319
I don't take accounts by word of mouth nor at face value. How long did it take for him to make the retroid pocket 3, how much direct input was from colleagues or acquaintances in addition to his own? Oh and what makes you think he didn't at the least pull a Bob Kane regarding the original designs, casing, and specs?

>>10111426
>Creepy tiny hand..

Donald?

>>10112571
reminder than donald had bigger hands than obongo.

>>10112250
I hope you die later from a preventable disease

>finally dusted off my 3ds after not having played it since 2016
Apart from Yokai watch 3, I’m surprised the games for it aren’t in the triple digits yet. There are still factory sealed games out there going for retail price.

>>10112594

>>10112601
3ds sucks tbqh. I always hated it and the library.

>>10112606
The gimmick was insanely retarded and likely the reason why it didn’t succeed like the DS or the switch. Games for it are decent, there are some hidden gems like monster hunter stories and LBX battlers

May be a retarded question but does any anon know how to configure the right stick as the dpad for a PSP emulator on the RG353PS? I want to play Freedom Unite on this thing.
Also anyone have recommendations for retro games similar to Monster Hunter? If they exist at all.

>>10111973
Beat Tears of the Kingdom today so I'm wanting to play a retro game after. Thinking the Last Bible games or finish a Final Fantasy game.

>>10111426
>manlytears holding a regular sized chicken nugget

>>10111568
Why are these handheld manufacturers so obsessed with the portrait form factor? The GBA and GB Micro already established the best form factor and layout for small handhelds decades ago, and the smaller a device gets the more that layout is necessary.

>>10112357
if you watch the video, he "consulted them" with such shocking advice like "it should be horizontal like the switch" and "it should play higher end games" and "it should come in nostalgic colors"
All things Chang never could've come up with

>>10112078
Did he invent semiconductors and plastic polymers too?

>>10112725
Motherfucker, he's the reason the colors suck.

>>10112703
I blame Reddit and their obsession with posting vert handhelds with Pokemon title screens

>>10112703
Because the GB was one of the earliest super successful handhelds, it's entered public consciousness that handhelds should be portrait. Doesn't help that the Miyoo Mini was so super successful that everyone tried to copy them.
While I'm on the subject, why was the Miyoo Mini so successful? It's smaller than the RG35xx/MM+, and those two are just barely comfortable for me to hold for long periods. The Miyoo Mini seems like it'd be too cramped for long play sessions.

>>10111958
OH, HI! FELLOW COLLECTOR!
I ENJOY SNIFFING MY FARTS AS WELL!

>Hey that SF2000 looks fun, only $20 to play a bunch of NES, GB, and GBC games
>Actually, I guess I could just grab a v90 for $10 more. $30 for something that can do SNES games and a handful of PSX is worth the extra price.
>Well if I'm going this far, I might as well throw in an extra $25 for the MM+ or RG35xx. After all, everyone is always talking about how great they are, and it'd be nice to have access to the full PSX library for $55.
>Then again, for another $20 I could get the RK2023 for a bit of PSP support, a horizontal form factor, and control sticks. Yeah, $75 for easily pocketed fun is the way to go.
>Actually, that Retroid Pocket 2s is just around the corner for $99. . .
Guys help, I'm about to buy a steam deck, two retro handhelds, an alienware laptop, and a steam deck.

>>10112180

>>10112804
just get the retroid so you'll have all the options covered while still being decently portable compared to the 'eck.

>>10112231
I wonder (((who else))) ITT works for free?

>>10112778
>Cheap
>small and portable
>nice design that focuses on the screen
>plays well to the PS1 without issues
>long battery life

It just hits all the sweet spots that's why it's popular

>>10112778
>Because the GB was one of the earliest super successful handhelds, it's entered public consciousness that handhelds should be portrait.
That makes some sense. I just wish people would realize that the GB was wide enough to make that comfortable and the smaller the devices get the worse portrait feels to play on.

>>10112804
One smol one, One big un'.
Simple as.

>>10112725
Incredible. Truly the Leonardo da Vinci of our times.

>>10112804
>I'm about to buy a steam deck, two retro handhelds, an alienware laptop, and a steam deck.
2 steam decks? is that right?

>>10112946
Yes, that was indeed part of the joke.

Best handheld for my wife? She wants to play Dr Mario and harvest moon. She prefers something large and black

>>10112958

>>10112958
Git 'er a BIG BLACK 'ECK anon

>>10111316
Right now playing using mainly my vita and 3dsxl for emulation. Thinking about getting the deck. Is it a meme? Or is emulation smooth? Mainly looking for DC and ps2 emulation

>>10112787

>>10112151
Until he covers the rog ally like 8 different fucking times and you're like "ok dude....I've had enough of you for a while'

>>10111958
Has your collection grown lately?

>>10112151
call me an autist but if any consoles are being suggested to be “playable” with one of these chinkhelds, it better run full speed 60fps at all times, frame skip isn’t even a consideration

eta prime dubs a lot of stuff as “playable” that doesn’t fit that criteria and gives a more normie evaluation, for better or worse

>>10113305
they all do that and it's infuriating. they all test the same exact handful of games, and often on a second rate emulator core

>>10113371
>>10113305

>playable

i just kek and move on

the idea that you can buy an all-in-one for $50 isnt true
maybe a comfy rpg device for older systems but you gotta be realistic

People are paying top dollar for Hirons devices

>>10112703
Why do you post the same comment every thread? Nobody cares what you think.

>>10113489
>/vr/ is one person
Meds anon.

>>10111393
yeah i do

>>10113489
I've never posted that comment before and I've only been in a couple of these threads ever.

>>10113549
was it worth it?
i dont know if im ok with sacking my umd drive
even though i almost never spin discs
did you have to permanently cut anything?
is it reversible?

>>10112703
Disagree. SP > GBA. Vertical > horizontal.

>>10112703
Ask Apple

>>10113637
it's actually not reversible. you have to cut little switch that bypasses xmb menu. the little guy that's only pressed when there is umd inside to skip xmb. battery pressing it would prevent xmb from loading. the cables that connect umd mechanisms themselves can be connected back if you shorted one of the wires on the cable (typical laser disc procedure afaik). if not, it might've fried
since i never owned any umds in my life, i felt little remorse in doing it. however if you do wanna save the umd, i recommend replacing just the battery that would into battery compartment

>>10111581
That's how I've felt about these micro/"nano" hanhelds from the start. They would be cute but for the price it's better to just get something reasonably sized and better for all purpose retro gaming.

>>10113653
but now that i think about it. cutting the switch isnt end of umds. you just will have to boot umd manually through xmb. so if you did take precautions in actually properly removing umd mechanisms and not just willy-nilly then yes. you can kinda reverse, almost...

>>10113646
Nah, the vertical orientation of the SP is its worst feature. The clamshell protecting the screen is nice but the cramped vertical layout is a massive compromise.

>>10113650
Smartphones aren't used vertically with 2 hands, though. Phone emulators are landscape.

>>10113662
Are you sure?

>>10113671
That's a one-handed game.

>>10113674
I don't know, anon...

>>10113674
How do you rotate the pieces though? You can technically play it with one hand, but it's harder. Not like Flappy Bird or Super Mario Run which was designed for one hand

>>10113681
Game Boys are wider and thicker than smartphones and GBA SPs which make them more comfortable to handle. Game Boy Pocket, Color, and GBA SP all got progressively less comfortable to use than the original Game Boy and the OG GBA has always been far more comfortable than even the OG GB.

>>10111316
Wait, DS is retro?
I did a Castlevania PoR thread a few months ago and it got instanuked...

>>10113691
/hhg/ is the /csg/ of /vr/ basically

>>10113685
You either hold it with one hand and play with your thumb or you hold it with one hand and poke it with your other hand's fingers. You're not cradling the phone with both hands and using two thumbs because that would be impossibly uncomfortable unless you're literally 8 years old with baby hands.

>>10113694
>hold it with one hand and poke it with your other hand's fingers.
That sounds like two hands

>>10113705
We were talking about how comfortable or not it is to use a vertical device with buttons, which means holding the device with two hands. Your whole smartphone tangent is retarded.

>>10113716
People use them to text anon

>>10113716
You've really never seen people do this?

>>10113718
Yeah, by holding the phone with one hand and swiping around the keyboard with a finger or thumb.

>>10111973
A Link to the Past on the rg35xx.
First time I play a Zelda game, enjoying it so far.

>>10113724
No, can't say I have. The few people I know who thumb type do it in landscape mode but almost everyone just uses swipe typing. I don't see people typing in portrait mode with two hands on the phone.

>>10113203
You can see videos on youtube showing you gameplay performance for any system.
As for meme or not, don't think of the steam deck as a hand held (it's too big for that). Think of it as a small laptop that's awkward to carry around, enough that you'll probably never leave the house with it. Personally I'd rather assemble a quality, expensive laptop, and buy a RK2023 wifi.
>>10113305
>>10113371
Then search more. There's lesser youtube channels where people play multiple games on a system for a few minutes each, to give you a solid idea of how the device performs.
>>10113637
UMDs have shit load time, playing from memory stick is always superior. Double so now that micro sd to memory stick converters exist, so a 32gb setup is cheap and can hold 40+ games.

I do take them out occasionally, though... barely

Went ahead and bought the rg35xx. It's surprisingly nice just to have a handheld with the GB form factor again.
Having some fun browsing through the included romsets right now. Already found a few good games I never heard of, and there's a bunch of weirdo romhacks on here.
I'll look at installing the better OS soon.

>>10113827
I'll wait for you to play on it for longer than 5 minutes and realize that your hands get cramps in no time.

>>10113843
Nope. Played it for like five hours yesterday. This form factor is my comfort zone. Trying to play D-pad based games on the Switch gives me cramps.

>>10113754
Thats exclusively how I type on a phone, much faster than swipe typing

>>10113843
Different anon but, I feel indifferent to holding it for long periods. Sure it's not as comfortable as my beloved psp, or as nice as the surprisingly comfortable sf2000, but it's not uncomfortable to hold either.

For people who don't have one. it's not actually brick GB size. It's more like the GB Pocket, or Color.

I only have a PSP and a 3DS. Are there any high performance SNES emulators on these? I wanna play sum DKC.

>>10113964
I'm guessing PSP has a more robust emulation scene. I don't know if 3DS has been worked on that much.

>>10113827
I tried stock OS and I kind of liked the UI but the performance was bad, it had slow downs even on GB games.
Now I'm playing Zelda on snes with the CPU underclocked to the minimum in Onion OS and it works perfectly.

>>10114019
Onion OS? I heard about Garlic OS. What's the distinction there?

>>10114026
One is for the MM+, the other is for the rg35xx. The rg35xx one is inspired by the other.

>>10114027
So Garlic is for RG35XX?

>>10114031
Yes, my bad, it's Garlic.

>>10113926
any chance they upgrade this model with wifi? i like the size of this one

>>10114048
I may be mistaken but I think you can use a external dongle with Koriki.
Also there's an rg35xx plus in the works and I think it will have wifi.

>>10114048
Supposedly a model might come out some day possibly.
Also some people dicking around with the Batocera custom firmware managed to get a OTG WiFi dongle to work, however Batocera is a dead end as the developer has switched to working on a Koriki custom firmware for the RG35XX instead, since Koriki is a lighter OS than Batocera. The Koriki CFW (and the abandoned Batocera CFW) is currently very in alpha, with random freezes, crashes, and slowdowns, to the point where I'd never recommend anyone use it. Even when the firmware is playable in a few months to a year, I doubt wifi will get much support, as wifi on a retro handheld is retarded.

>>10114048
Wifi for what? Mulitplayer?

That's a good question. Is there any way to do like Pokemon link up battles with these things?

>>10114026
one uses centralized relays, other is everyone is a relay so it's p2p

>>10114079
On the MM+, wifi is a mixed bag.
1. Retroarch achievements are only registered while you are connected to wifi, no achieving something then reconnecting to wifi later. As the MM+ is a portable handheld, you won't have 24/7 wifi access if you ever leave your house.
2. Retroarch achievements took all the worst aspects of xbox achievements and looked at it as a check list. Most of the lists contain insane challenges that'll take thousands of hours to attain or are pure RNG. Shit is absolute trash.
3. Running Retroarch achievements adds strain to the system, to the point where they become unplayable on most PSX games, so it's SNES and below only. It also drains the battery faster running wifi.
4. Wifi multiplayer is great . . . when it works. You both have to be running the exact same OS, with the exact same emulation core. Some cores will randomly work for wifi with some games but not for others, so you'll have to dick around with settings and use trial and error before you get a game running properly.
5. Wifi multiplayer adds too much strain to the system to work with PSX or similar high end games.
6. Wifi multiplayer can't replicate a link cable, so no trading pokemon.
7. Wifi file transfer requires powershell commands or running software on your pc 24/7, it's less of a hassle to just transfer the micro sd card.
8. Wifi cloud saves are great if you feel like setting it up and for some reason want to play the exact same game on multiple devices. Be aware that save fie de-syncing is an ongoing problem and can destroy your saves.

Any news on gammaOS?

>>10114158
not really. on the bright side powkiddy guy jdewitz put in a ticket for PK to fix the analog stick cardinal snapping.

>>10114175

>>10114106
Well retro achievements ruin games, so it’s good that they’re so poorly supported. Informal poll though, does anyone use WiFi multiplayer with handhelds? I just bring my friends over to play split screen on the TV, so maybe some of you use it.

>>10113964

I either plug my hdmi into the tv or we sit shoulder to shoulder and play with handheld + 2nd controller.
I don't get playing multiplayer over the internet on a handheld, what's the point if you can't talk to the other person? You'd have to set up a PC with teamspeak/ventrillo/discord, and if you're going that far you might as well just emulate on your PC to begin with and plug a controller into it.

>>10114241
people like to give a lot of shit these days for psp not running snes or gba games at full speed, despite a lot of them being playable with frameskip
and i like to remind them that psp came out in 2004. just 3 years after gba... and it was able to emulate gba and make it playable on it. many people were ditching their old gbas in favor of psp just to continue playing gba emulator on it while also having mutlimedia benefits of psp

Got my RG35XX for $30 on Temu that I ordered a week ago. Overall a great price for a great handheld at this price.

>>10114275
Maybe I just need to git gud but for the life of me I can't play Super Mario World on the psp. Sure it plays at full speed 99% of the time, but that 1% always seems to happen when jumping and throws off my game. On my laptop I can beat Super Mario World with a controller deathless, on my psp I die every other level to stupid shit.

>>10114286
smw should be playable. a lot of 2000s romhacks like brutal mario world work too. or even more recent ones like 12 magic orbs works fine (with frameskip) for what it is
but then games like super mario rpg is definitely full of glitches and trust me i tried. it gets too unbearable. you can make it more playable with speedhacks (yes snes9x has speedhacks) but it felt like it was compromising too much at that point

>>10114282
coupons dead? they ship to murrica?

>>10114309
yeah im in america, no clue if the coupon still works though

>>10114309
I've been told the coupons don't work for EU. No idea about any other countries. When you download and run the Temu App for the first time, a spinner appears where you 'luckily' win the grand price, $100 worth of coupons if you 'buy' three items. Buy 3 items, then instantly cancel the order, and you'll get the full refund but keep the coupons. Among the coupons is stuff like $20 off a $50 purchase, $10 off a $25 purchase, $5 off any purchase (but $10 minimum to actually ship the order), and I think $40 off $100 purchase? Something like that. I got a RG35xx for $30, that's all that matters to me.
Also you have to use the deals within 60 minutes of running the app for the first time to get the best deals, so make sure you know what you want to buy before hand. RG35XX is the best budget option, imo. Sf2000 is more toy than handheld. some of the more expensive handhelds might appeal to you if you want psp emulation, but the number of retro handhelds is limited.

>>10114331
You can't stack coupons for temu tho. I do see 50 percent off which is pretty cool, 45 dollars all in for it

>>10114385
>you can't stack coupons for temu
Bring it. How do you even know?

>>10114391

>>10111393
Uhh, yeah.

What’s a good comfy handheld that has good battery life, can be plugged into a monitor or tv and played with a Bluetooth/wireless controller), and has good build quality?

>>10111316
>>>/vg/

>>10114472
RG353PS.

>>10114472
RG353PS is probably the cheapest one that matches all of those requirements.

>>10114482
Ah, a fellow man of culture.

>>10114482
>>10114485
Secondary question based on this suggestion: does it have something similar to Garlic?

>>10114480
/vg/ is for games, not hardware.

>>10114491
Yes. You can choose between JELOS or ArkOS for RG353PS. Both of those say that they don't support it, but the hardware is identical to RG353P in practice, which is supported by both of them and images made for it work on RG353PS.

>>10114501
For docked play, will I need to do button remapping to the external controller?

>>10114513
Honestly no idea, I haven't used mine with external controller, just know it's possible.

>>10114521
I appreciate the info either way. Thanks anon!

>>10114501
Is the RG353P better in any major way to the S?

>>10114331
thanks brother coupon is still good got rg35xx ~$35 looking forward to it

>>10114501
Do you know about Arale? It's pretty famous within the retro scene in Spain but I've never seen it mentioned here.

>>10114726
Does it support the English language?

>>10114275
That’s all fine and good, but it’s 2023 and no longer 2004, and nobody should be buying a PSP nowadays with the intention of doing GBA. $30 emu handhelds do that better.

>>10113662
>Nah, the vertical orientation of the SP is its worst feature. The clamshell protecting the screen is nice but the cramped vertical layout is a massive compromise.
Nah, disagree again. GBA SP was comfy as fuck and only beaten by GBC. Vertical is also way better for laying on your back and playing on your chest because the screen is higher and your neck doesn’t need to be so bent.

>Smartphones aren't used vertically with 2 hands, though.
When typing they are, I’m doing it right now

>>10114739
It seems menus are in English, but all I found is a fucking telegram channel instead of a proper website.
I hate this shit and discord with all my soul.

>>10114714
Can the RG35XX be played connected to a monitor/tv, with an external controller, while charging?

so about that miyoo mini flip

>>10114793
In theory, but I don't know how. I haven't tried doing any of that now. Presumably you can connect a controller through Bluetooth.
I also don't know how good the thing scales up to a TV screen.

>>10114894
I’m very interested in it if it comes with an HDMI out?

>>10114909
it doesn't exist, so no

>>10114909
I have at least interest in the Miyoo Mini Flip. For one, When it does come out, how will we know that the announced screenshots of it are final anyway?

>>10113289
not particularly
i did get a couple of the mcdonalds tetris nuggets though, i laughed when i opened it

It finally arrived

Comfy

Playing PS2 and GC on the go is all I wanted as a kid

>>10114714
You're welcome, though I'm just the anon who took the screenshot and posted it, not the original anon who posted the method.
>>10114793
Yes, but you need an OTG compatible usb hub and controller. Most modern usb controllers are OTG compatible, though you'll probably have to map the buttons. Most simple usb hubs are OTG compatible, but I've heard that controllers with lots of stuff built into them (like card readers, hdmi out, ethernet, ect.) sometimes aren't. It's probably going to be a trial and error thing.

>>10114748
Maybe, but those $30 emu handhelds can't do psp games or 95% of psx games. The v90 has shit PSX compatibility without large frame skips and slow downs.

After playing around with the RG35XX, the garlic OS is such an inferior experience to Onion OS it kinda almost removes a lot of advantages the RG35XX has. Namely no folder organization, the apps arent built in so you have to install the ones you need one by one and more little issues. The handheld itself plays fine and feels great in my hands but the OS needs way more work before it can even touch Onion OS.

>>10115205
Ah, Sparking Neo on the toilet, super comfy

>>10115262
At this exact moment, sure. Give it a few more months though and Garlic will catch up. Best part will be Koriki though, as it allows GPU access for emulation and overclocking, which is going to do games and systems the MM+ can't. Though anyone reading this, be warned, Koriki is currently in alpha and shit to use atm.

>>10115270
damn I was about to swap to koriki since garlic isnt that nice to use. I guess if it's shit to use I'll just wait

I wanna purchase a couple of novelty handhelds but they're just that... novelties. I genuinely don't see me playing anything else besides my SF2000, Retromini, and RG35XX (each of which I have dedicated a specific title to playing on instead of just fiddling with thousands of titles for thirty seconds each, finished SMRPG on the SF2000 and now looking for a Genesis title to focus on, something like Aladdin). I mean the shit I'm looking at are just flat famiclones or famiclones with a fan attaches so I can make the fucking, "I'm a fan on this handheld" joke (that and I love the orange spice colour it comes in, like the GameCube).

What I'm more focused on now is trying to find the ultimate carrying case for both the SF2000 by itself, and for the SF2000 with its two wireless controllers.

>>10115283
I got this stretchy glasses case from Dollarama for $1.50, which is nice for keeping the SF2000 dust-free, but it's juuuust like a millimetre or two not wide enough and you need to stretch it to close the zipper around it.

>>10115293
This is a fucking handheld thread, idiot.

>>10111575
I replied to the video with a quote from the very video itself; "I liked it when I forced myself to have fun on it." He literally says he had to find ways to force himself to start enjoying the thing, and recommends everybody buys it specifically to focus on one GameBoy Color title at a time, like playing through Pokemon Yellow then Pokemon Crystal. Just fuck that. It's an over-priced novelty through and through. Anbernig customers have little tolerance for novelty bullshit. I appreciate they wanted to on-up Miyoo by having some Miyoo Mini replacement but they completely misunderstood why anyone wanted the Miyoo Mini to begin with. They just heard, "The Miyoo Mini's too fragile" and focused on making a smaller handheld that was tenfold as durable. All they made was a stupid, over-priced novelty which honestly could have had its price tag cut by two fucking thirds if they just focused on GB/GBC/GBA/GameGear/NES emulation instead of trying to make it play up to PS1. That shit is just so fucking retarded. No one in the fucking world wants to play PS1 games on a one inch 3:2 screen. It could have been a neat $20 device but they went completely full retard with it.

>>10115283
Behold! The ultimate SF2000 carrying case, with all the pomp and dignity such an illustrious hand held deserves.

>>10115313
>No one in the fucking world wants to play PS1 games on a one inch 3:2 screen.
I was just about to "ACKSHUALLUY" your post but remembered that fucking nobody actually plays shit like the FunkeyS, Thumby, Arduboy, Q36, etc. They spend $100 just to say they own one and shelve it.

>>10115320
If the sock's good enough for my cock it's good enough for my beautifully ergonomic handheld...ock.

>>10115293
This post is so irrelevant that I can only assume you're a chink shamelessly advertising your company's shit products. What the absolute fucking fuck do mechanical keyboards have to fucking do with fucking retro handhelds you fucking piece of shit?

>>10115320

>>10115321
>Q36
Damn, I've never bothered to look into the q36. A 240x240 1:1 screen, 1.54 inches, that claims it can play some ps1 games for $60. It really is powkiddy trying to copy the Nano.

>>10115320
What is the actual point of this? The material of those socks isn't even enough to prevent the screens from being scratched up, let alone keeping the handhelds dustfree or protected from impact. Like this setup in the same pocket as a set of keys would leave any of those device's screens scraped to shit.

Miyoo mini plus, RG35XX, or RG353P

>>10115321
>People keep making these "nano" handhelds
>People who don't play video games keep feeling obligated to "get theirs" despite never even fucking using them
How profitable is it to just make a tiny piece of a shit that functions because there genuinely seems to be a market for retards just buying them for the sake of buying them regardless of their quality, cost, purpose, functionality, or value

>>10115342
You genuinely do not appreciate just how fucking satirically bad these consumption-driven hoarders of Reddit are.

>>10115337
What are your fucking keys made out of that they can cut through cloth? How do they not cut holes into your pockets?
>>10115338
RG353P. It's far more ergonomic and you'll get more systems out of it. Make 1 big purchase a year rather than multiple tiny purchases a year.

Just make a nano handheld and these fat fuckers will consume it by default.

Holy fuck, whatever you fucking do, do NOT listen to >>10115351 and get an RG353P. Get the RG35XX. If you REALLY want to spend $120 on a handheld instead of $55-65, because the RG353P fucking costs $120, there are a half dozen Anbernic handhelds alone better than the fucking RG353P for less money including the RG353V/RG353VS.

Our guy Russ posted it, that’s where I first found it

>>10115381
>$120
The RG353P is $95.48 on temu. With a 50% off coupon, that's under $50, compared to a RG35xx being $56.24, or $28 with coupon.

>>10115379
>Do you not know what a weave is?
Will a weave stop a knife from stabbing a negro in the head? No? Why would a set of keys be stopped by a fucking sock this fucking full of holes due to its retardedly low thread count. These socks aren't even dollar store quality.

>>10115386
>Our guy Russ
I don't give a fuck what your retarded corporate shill posts, it's a fucking mechanical keyboard in a fucking retro handheld thread you fucking retard.

>>10115381
>RG353V/RG353VS
You're crazy. Trying to play any psp/ps1 game that requires sticks on one of those systems is going to be a nightmare.
>>10115393
When was the last fucking time a knife stabbing negro attacked your pants? For that matter, when was the last time your car keys stabbed you in the leg through your pockets. Oh wait, you're obviously 12, you don't carry around keys.

>>10115391
Okay, and? Same coupon applies to all Anbernic handhelds available on Temu. Congratulations, the RG353P being 50% off is still a retarded purchase when literally every single other Anbernic handheld is also 50% off. What sort of fucking argument was this even meant to fucking be?

>>10115352
>place on keyring

That's all I can imagine these are good for

>>10115402
>For that matter, when was the last time your car keys stabbed you in the leg through your pockets. Oh wait, you're obviously 12, you don't carry around keys.
Car keys have literally been the single thing creating holes in my jean pockets for the past twenty years of my life. Not one fucking thing causes any damage to my pockets but my fucking car keys. Literally no adult puts their smart phone in the same pocket as their keys. What are you even attempting to even reach for with this absolutely idiotic claim?

>>10115403
You said it was $120 when it's $95, dipshit. And yes, the coupon matters. There's a difference between paying +$22 for a product compared to +$44

>>10115406
You could play some turn-based RPGs that only require on hand. Good luck reading the text, though.

>>10115410
>HURRR, HURRRR, I FOUND IT ON DISCOUNT SO YOU'RE WRONG IT'S $120
Get raped.

>>10115417
First off, what systems do you want? That's the basis of any retro handheld purchase.

>>10115417
Miyoo Mini + or RG35XX based on whether you want Wifi or if you want dual-SD card slots and HDMI output. Or if it really matters, whether the Miyoo Mini + or the RG35XX has the colour handheld you want. That's about it.

>>10115423
Fair. I would like to play at least up to PlayStation comfortably. That said, will likely be predominately playing romhacks of Pokémon and such for a while after getting it.

>>10115420
Only a retard buys a product from the official store, as offical stores charge more. Guess that's why it was the first store you looked at, retard.

>>10115417
android tablet, used
and your controller of choice
nothing in this thread will come close
maybe the steamdeck but im being realistic

>>10115423
When discussing under 32-bit emulation, the differences between the Miyoo Mini + and RG35XX are literally unnoticeable. They play the same fucking systems the same quality.

>>10115426
I can't argue with the level of absolute fucking retardation you are operating at. I just can't. Congratulations, you win being king of the fucking retard pit, you fucking clown.

>>10115425
Literally just buy a Miyoo Mini + or RG35XX based on which one you think you'd prefer aesthetically.

>>10115424
The MM+ and RG35XX are shit at n64, Dreamcast, and PSP. Granted, the RG353P aren't perfect at those systems, but it's important to take what the handheld will be used for into account.
>>10115425
In that case the RG35XX or MM+ is what you want. See >>10112778

>>10115428
The anon asked about the
>Miyoo mini plus, RG35XX, or RG353P
So what systems he or she wants to play matters.

>>10115437
>The MM+ and RG35XX are shit at n64, Dreamcast, and PSP. Granted, the RG353P aren't perfect at those systems, but it's important to take what the handheld will be used for into account.
At $120 MSRP, it is NOT worth it for what little N64 and PSP the RG353P can actually do. Especially when, as already stated several times, Anbernic themselves have better and less expensive handhelds available. Hell, even Retroid's Pocket 2S is less expensive and can perform everything the RG353P can but better.

>>10115437
>>10115446
Is the rattle of the xx really that noticeable?

>>10115446
Okay, and anon already fucking said just PS1 and GBA Pokemon. You contributed nothing you fucking idiot. The RG353P is still fucking irrelevant.

>>10115447
>RG353P
The anon literally asked about the fucking RG353P. I didn't pull that system out of thin air.
>>10115452
Not really. If you're walking, you won't hear anything. If you're jogging, it would be a little noticeable.

>>10115456
I think I’ll probably go with the xx then. How is the hdmi port quality on it? Will it hold up to extended use?

>>10115453
They hadn't said ps1 or GBA at the time, I don't have future sight. I suggested the RG353P out of those 3 proposed systems because the psp is awesome.

>People unironically recommending Anbernig's RG353P line of handhelds
Are you just a bunch of armchair professional zoomers trying to sound informed by just regurgitating what you've heard Youtubers and Tiktokers say, or fucking what? Not a single one of you recommending these things actually have ever owned or touched one. They're the one line of Anbernic handhelds Anbernic fands have written off and rightfully so, yet all of sudden we have a bunch of fucking fucktwits telling an anon to get one of them.

It genuinely makes me suspicious that Anbernic's stealth marketers are astro turfing too hard to sell dead inventory.

>>10115459
Feels fine but I've only used the hdmi once, just to test it. I normally keep an old laptop plugged into my TV for that sort of gaming.

>>10115468
>They're the one line of Anbernic handhelds Anbernic fands have written off and rightfully so
How is anyone supposed to know that? At least elaborate.

>>10115468
Hey man, I never said the RG353P was good. I said it's what I'd buy out of those 3 systems. If it were up to me I'd buy a RK2023, but that's not what was asked, and last time I checked Temu the RK2023 wasn't available, so no 50% coupon.

>>10115456
>The anon literally asked about the fucking RG353P. I didn't pull that system out of thin air.
I can't understand what level of asperger's you're suffering with because of how tone deaf and obtusely you're replying to these posts. In fact, I'm all-out convinced you're a Chinaman using Google translate to try to struggle to understand what people are saying so you can do some shit-grade PR.

I can't hold your hand any further than this; Anon suggested two near identical handhelds in the same price range and performance alongside an infamously pointless, over-priced as fuck for what it is handheld. The infamously pointless, over-priced handheld was not only dismissive in itself, but for the money anon wanted to spend and the specific consoles they wanted to emulate, which the first two comparable ones are perfect for. There is absolutely no fucking reason to consider or argue for the third option. No reasonable human being would consider that an option.

If someone looking for a reliable vehicle to get them from home to work and back and were looking at a car, a truck, and a tricycle that's decked out in sweat reflectors, you are an objective room-temperature IQ retard if you for a moment even humour the idea of suggesting they buy the tricycle.

>>10115468
RG353P is good though. Still a better purchase than a Miyoo Shitty

>>10115481
>I never said the RG353P was good but I would buy it over an RG35XX or the Miyoo Mini +
Here it is

You've completely lost the plot. The original post is here, since you've obviously not read it
>>10115338
>Miyoo mini plus, RG35XX, or RG353P
No mention AT ALL of the "money anon wanted to spend" as you are pulling shit strait out of your gaping asshole. And when anon did say they just wanted PSX, I suggested the other 2 handhelds. Not my fault the anon didn't say what games they wanted to play in the first place.

So you admit you're retarded but argue your retardation is an irrelevant detail being brought up while you're... being full fucking retarded. Okay!
I actually can't tell if you don't know what an ad hominem actually is and misused it retardedly, or if you do know what it is and admitted to being a retard. Either way, I'm done having an argument with a literally mentally retarded individual.

>>10115481

>>10115528

>>10115528
Holy shit...

>>10115518
It's not an ad hominem when the character of the individual is directly effecting their argument. Or in this example, when a retarded individual is making retarded arguments. You would be able to appreciate this detail in debate if you weren't actually retarded.

>>10115528
I might buy garbage handhelds from China, but I'm not mentally deranged enough to believe that silver spooned Silicone Valley kiddies who were inspired by Apple products are capable of making a modern GameBoy.

I actually wasnt aware that the RG35XX had two micro SD card slots. Seeing as how sd cards are so cheap and the games it can emulate are so tiny, what's the point of it?

>>10115557
Switching between custom firmware. Also using separate sd cards for the OS and ROMs will have a tiny boost in performance.

>Reading modern /hhg/ after the weeks of excessive Data Frog shilling
>Someone asks if they should get a MM+, RG35XX, or... the fucking RG353P
What the taint-licking-faggot-in-the-farmer's-hay-fields does the RG353P have to do with either of the prior two systems?
This is just such a bizarre question to make. "Should I buy little gerbil, a little hamster, or should I buy a salt-water piranha that requires a 40-gallon tank to live in comparison to the little cages the gerbil and hamster would be fine in?"
This is such a bizarre fucking question, and so many people got defensive about it, I can only assume Anbernic shills are actively in this thread trying to sell dead inventory that literally nobody wants. This thread makes me disgusted and untrustful of the Anbernic brand due to this level of fucking incompetence trying to shove out useless RG353Ps that literally nobody wants. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if >>10115338 is also every single anon who then, with the same grammar and passion, suddenly started defending and recommending the RG353P.

Shill threads have always been a meme means to dismiss fans wanting to discuss what they love but my fucking god, you Anbernic employees/reps couldn't be more transparent trying to suddenly shove the shit RG353P onto people because the SF2000 at $20 has become popular. I actually feeling fucking ashamed owning an RG35XX over the Miyoo Mini +. I will never buy an Anbernic handheld ever, ever again after this blatant, retarded shilling.

>>10115567
RG353P has dual sticks, stacked shoulder buttons, bluetooth, wifi, mini hdmi, better ergonomics, and can play 99% of n64 games. Anon never mentioned price or what games they wanted in the first post, and of those 3 systems the RG353P is the superior system, at the time of the first post.
When taking the desire to only play PSX games into account, which they didn't mention until several posts later, yeah they should buy a RG35xx or a MM+.

>>10115575
>"I need to die on this mole hill I made by kicking dirt about"
Fuck Anbernic and all of its employees.

>>10115567
Original anon that post the question here. I’d read earlier on the thread people recommended RG353P(S) earlier in the thread, so I included it with the ones I was already looking at (Miyoo Mini Plus and the RG35XX). I didn’t intend to start a war of sorts, and apologize for what became of the question. Having said that, I do appreciate the advice given.

>>10115575
Despite nobody owning a Retroid pocket 2S so far, the RG353P is so obsolete that your answer should be "no you should not consider it and just get a retroid pocket 2S" instead

>>10115585
I was under the impression we were talking about Temu, what with the recent discussion of the Temu discount and the very limited selection of handhelds anon asked about. That's one of the biggest issues of the 50% coupon for Temu, the lack of selection.

>>10115589
Sony - PlayStation:
4.49 TBs (4602.02 GBs),10649 total dumps, 0.43 GB as average size per dump.
NA Dump only would be around 700 GB.

If you consider how the PS1 has about 200 games at most worth playing, you really dont need that much space for it's entire library.

>>10115584
There was one anon with very specific requirements on exactly what he wanted and he was only recommendation the RG353P with a warning of overpaying for what it's actually worth.
Assuming you're not just straight up lying, why the ever fuck would you specifically just randomly toss it in alongside the RG35XX and Miyoo Mini + just because it matched another's anon's very specific, not the same desires as yourself? I mean my god, these threads do everything they can to provide newfag retards with information. It's been drilled and banged into the head so many times over the past year that there is literally no excuse for it even if it is your first day on /vr/ and your first post on a /hhg/.

>>10115595
The three devices fit the portable emulation niche, beyond that there is no other reason that I included it.

>>10115594
True. It's neat to have a thing fully loaded though, and not to have to download every game individually.
How much space is 200 Playstation games going to take up? Like 100GB?

>>10111426
>>10111439
Happy birthday Grimace!

>>10115567
If the RG353P is useless, then so is the RG35XX and MM+. having a meltdown over something like this is so over the top

>>10115584
>>10115603
It looks like you decided already, but if you don't like verticals I'd recommend Powkiddy RK2023 if you want a similar handheld to MM+/RG35XX. The RG353P is better, but you don't seem like you need it if you just want PS1 and GBA

>>10115603
The Thumby, V60, and Steam Deck all fit the portable emulation "niche". What "niche"? You're being a straight up flippant piece of shit Zoomer because you made flagrant statements that you're not willing to back up out of some lethargic boredom and desperation for interaction. Unironically, kill yourself you fucking illiterate cretin.

The RG353P is ridiculously redundant but both the overreaction to it being recommended and the overraction to trying to defend it...
...Just is not organic or natural. I'm paranoid of Anbernic shills now.

>>10115652
That trashy Anbernig RG35XX does get recommended an awful lot...

>>10113685
Who's wanking to flappy bird?

>>10115567
are you that faggot arkos developer?

why does it make schizos seethe?

>>10115718
think you mean JELOS dev, ArkOS dev doesn't have any strong opinions on anbernig.

>>10115730
>ArkOS dev doesn't have any strong opinions on anbernig
They do now; they just said they'll never buy a Anbernic product again.

>>10115730
he doesnt support the 353p because he's a faggot schizo.

>>10115557
Keeping games separate is nice.

>>10115585
Well, recommending one before redditors beta test it for everyone is dumb too. Yes, there should be no issues for a refresh with better components, but do you trust chinks enough? I don't.

>>10115736
>>10115737
That's the JELOS guy anon, he's the one that refuses to support Anbernig anymore and has a raging hateboner for them. Also prone to massive schizo tantrums out of nowhere.

>>10115528
Doesn’t happen on mine, skill issue

>>10115528
Fake and gay

>>10115750
>he actually bought one

>>10115753
Yeah, gonna cry?

RG353P is shit because it has false diagonals, it's inexcusable to not have reliable controls at that price point, simple as.

People who do not notice this either play low impact games like RPGs and puzzles exclusively or they somehow adapted to it's shittyness, either that or they're shills.

t. Owned 2 different units that I tested extensively before returning them.

>>10115775
Is there such a thing as a good chink d-pad even?

>>10115804
The one on the 353M is pretty decent but it’s still worse than most real handhelds

>>10115774
How horrifying

With all these arguments being flung back and forth, what is the de facto best for the money handheld that is currently being sold?

>>10115828
That's completely dependent on what systems you want to play on and if you want horizontal or vertical.

>>10115828
The ones that people recommend the most. Miyoo Mini or Ambernic RG35XX. Nothing can beat them price-wise and they allow you to dip your toe into the whole retro handheld thing with a robust community to see if you wanna spend more on something better.

>>10115747
no, its not. that guy briefly stopped releasing compiled images. you had to compile them yourself. but he's back to releasing regular images and even supports the v2 screens.

the arkos fag refuses to list the 353p as a supported device just because he doesnt like the way it looks, even though internally it is identical to 351m and the akos image for the 351m works with the 353p and 353ps.

>>10115837
Did they ever fix the dpad problem with the RG35XX?

>>10115775
mine doesnt. its more sensitive than a snes controller but its not as shit broken as an 8bitdo controller the gpi cases

>>10115828
Deck. Anything cheaper will force you to make a series of compromises.

>>10115828
RK2023 without question. It's $75 (which is only a little more than the MM+), has a horizontal form factor, twin sticks, and gives you some access to n64, Dreamcast, PSP, and a tiny bit of Sega Saturn.

>>10115842
The d-pad 'problem' is easy to ignore so long as you don't rock your thumb back and forth while holding down, or you can look up videos on youtube that show you how to 'fix' it with a bit of electrical tape, some scissors, and a ruler.

>>10115851

the dpad problem that most of these chinkhelds and chink clone controllers suffer from is due to the center pivot of the dpad being too shallow. you can fix an 8bitdo controller simply by swapping its dpad out with one from an actual nintendo controller, no need to duct tape the pcb.

someone needs to mass produce dpads with longer center pivots thatll fit in these devices

>>10115867
That’s a neat and simple fix, I might just do that.

Kishi v2 and S23 is pretty comfy. Plays most things my MM+ doesn’t.

>>10115726
It doesn't. What makes anyone seethe is owners of any of these over-priced SNES controller handhelds now that the SF2000 is a thing, and it's actually hilarious to us how intimidated Anbernic has been over the SF2000 for the past two months after fixating on Miyoo as their main competitor.

I never owned GBA. is the dpad smaller like an anbernig? I know GB dmg is too big

>>10115893
To be honest I think Anbernic paid shills were paid for after this fucking image was made, lmfao
"Waaaah, we made a SNES controller handheld first, even though it's a ridiculously overpriced piece of shit even when it first released. Stop buying the half-decent, more ergonomic $20 SNES controller handheld, waaaah!"

>>10115901
lol. sf2000 and s30 cant even play snes games accurately at fullspeed. yeah nice snes inspired handheld bucko

>read about rg35xx
>wow haven't gotten one of these handhelds for like 3 years wonder if this will be cool to have with my steam deck
>can't even play ps1 games full-speed much less with filters and fastforward
Cringe this space moves slow as fuck

>>10115865
The deck is comically huge, but I love the form factor.

I can't recall how many threads and how many months we spent laughing at this thing
Why the fuck is it suddenly being defended, let alone recommendated?
This is either one retarded consumer forcing his regret purchase onto others, or Anbernic shills trying to sell more of their dead on arrival handhelds to make space.

>>10115804
Neither the RG351P or V have this problem, and I'd wager is the same for the 351M

>>10115846
There it is!, the faggot with THE ONE magical unit that somehow doesn't have the one glaring flaw that several users have reported on, aren't you a lucky one

>>10115908
>lol. sf2000 and s30 cant even play snes games accurately at fullspeed.
I mean your hilariously illiterate grammar is one thing, but you're just being a flagrant, demonstrable liar. I recently completed SMRPG on my SF2000, no issue with the July firmware update.

Or are you admitting that you're a turbo retarded, common core Zoomer who doesn't even know how to move a file between folders, let alone update firmware?

I AM STILL WAITING FOR ONE, FUCKING PERSON TO POST A PICTURE OF THEIR RG353P

IT'S NOT HAPPENING BECAUSE NOBODY ENDORSING IT FUCKING OWNS IT

>>10115919
I mean how else were they gonna add the buttons with 2 thumbsticks and a screen?

I'm still waiting for literally anybody to announce this, even if not Retroid. Fuck the 2S still using that shit brick design.

>>10115938
Dear friend, please express levels of tolerance and patience.
I shall post a photograph of myself in hand touching the product once I am issued an allowed demo unit from my manager.
Then you will see its guaranteed performance of much loved child game.

>>10115946
Where would you put the L2 and R2 buttons you MOTHERFUCKER!

>>10115959
The analog sticks click in to function as L2 and R2, instead of L3 and R3. :)

So it is a given that the RP2S would emulate N64 and NDS without problems, right?

>>10115964
At least give us comfy L2/R2 L3/R3 as dedicated buttons on the back for our middle and ring fingers instead of the Vita's stupid, useless, gimmicky touch pad on the back.

>>10115928
wow you were able to beat a game for babies despite the absolute shit emulation

>>10115968
No. Even the Retroid Pocket 3+ can't do flawless N64 emulation with all titles. Only get a 2S if you wanted the 2.

>>10115938
I already did you stupid faggot

>>10115973
>Wow, I'm an illiterate retard posting my ignorant, unbased opinion never fucking playing the thing
Keep supporting the SF2000 with your flagrant, retarded comments. Please. You have no idea how much you're supporting the thing by just proving everyone who has negative opinions about it are fucking retarded.

>>10115975
Really? News to me. What can't the T618 handle?

>>10115978
>I posted mine!
>Doesn't link the post
>Literally the only one posted was an image saved from a previous thread
Lmfao @ your life

>>10115983
Some N64 titles, many/most Sega Saturn titles, some/important DreamCast titles, I am honestly unsure of the difference with PSP performance because I don't deal with PSP emulation owning a PSP and Vita myself.

>>10115973
Super Mario RPG is one of the most strenuous natural SNES titles to run on emulators that didn't have a unique chip on its cartridge itself like titles Yoshi's Island and Stunt FX. Your illiterate, smart-phone typed-out post is nothing more than an admission of what an ignorant child you are and how you have no fucking reason or purpose for even being on /vr/. This isn't /v/'s daycare, fuck off and stop wasting bandwidth with your existence.

>>10115986
>Some N64 titles
>some/important DreamCast titles
Can you name some? I was looking forward to those. Man, this sucks.

>>10115996
Main titles I wanted to play like Sonic Adventure 2 and Phantasy Star Online are just not acceptable experiences on the 2S as much as I wanted them to be. I've only been able to manage Crazy Taxi and Bloody Roar 2 which is bizarre because I would assume Bloody Roar 2 would be more hardware intensive than Phantasy Star Online's single player.

>>10115747
>Also prone to massive schizo tantrums out of nowhere.
So the typical programmer

Finished all of the PS1 Armored Cores on my RG351MP a while back, honestly worked way better than I expected in terms of ergonomics, but I also played tons of Metroid Prime Hunters so my hands/wrists may just be constructed differently.
I've been thinking about getting a RP3+ or something but I don't really have much of a need for one. I wish a pocket handheld could run PS2 reliably but that's kind of a NEVER EVER, especially when the AetherSX2 dev turned out to be a fuckin schizo and a half and kneecapped the emulator permanently

>>10115750
>>10115767
>You gonna cry over me buying an Analogue Pocket?
Maybe tears of laughter. I genuinely don't believe you own one and are just being a shithead.

>>10115996
To be honest, the Retroid Pocket 3+ is the bare minimum for acceptable N64 and Dreamcast performance. But to be honest, $150 for a handheld Dreamcast still seems pretty fucking sweet to me considering the latest "official" handhelds we got were the fucking New 3DS XL and New 2DS for their MRSP.

You know what would simultaneously cement yet kill these generals?
If we only respected the opinions of people posting fresh, new photos of the handhelds they're recommendating or dismissing. Show us you've actually fucking touched the thing you're so opinionated about at least. It would only allow for informed opinions but 99% of the shitposting zoomers from /v/ would be laughed out or removed by default, killing /hhg/ which only strive because to many zoomies from /v/ come here curious after all the shitty 'eck and Logitech threads.

This retard literally has no idea what he's talking about, I've played N64, Dreamcast, and Saturn just fine on my 3+. I've only seem some Saturn games not run perfectly like Grandia with the English patch.

>>10116009
yeah issue is the emulator and there arent any other options for PS2 on android. 95% of games run well enough if you have decent hardware regardless.

>>10115973
wow and you weren't

>>10115919
Anbernic has at least one guy monitoring these threads to damage control. Take note of the poor English used by the people defending it, and it gets pretty obvious.
>b-but a brand wouldn't shill on 4chan!
For a niche like this, you better believe they have a team dedicated to protecting their image online. The vast majority of their international sales come from people here and a couple of subreddits.

>>10116193
If a company has a public twitter account, they've got someone to manage their online presence. It only takes 1 person to monitor facebook, twitter, reddit, 4chan, and a few niche forums.

did you try them? because they got the same dpad and membrane and will give you the same problem.

>>10116264
no you wont. no you fucking wont. you wont be giving me any more (you)'s this day you shitbag.

>>10116265
Yep, they don't have it.
I did side by side comparisons when I had both, Anon. I don't know what they changed but they clearly fucked something up.

>>10116256
>b-but what about-
Okay. And?

>>10116052
I haven't seen a Yinlips device in ages. Maybe close to a decade now

>>10115605
that anon literally gave you the avg size

>>10116290
So am I right, or not?

guys it’s so easy, just avoid chinkheld companies that start with an A: ayn, anbernic, analogue

>>10115992
Also Star Fox and Doom, and at that point the system just isn't worth the 2x sandwiches it costs. Better to get a MM+ or RG35xx for a few bucks more.

>>10116268
I masterbate my hands. You can't stop moi.
>>10116295
>Ayn
What the fuck is their problem anyway? Unlike alot of chinkheld makers, they got a good headstart for not starting with shitty famiclones.

>>10115283
>gay bar
Watcha' doin' on discord, Anon?

>>10116304
Ayn's main issue is that their products take a long time to ship, which is a shame since their products are supposedly good.

>>10115946
Even pic related would have been an improvement over straight up recycling the old shell that's like 20% wasted space

>>10116305

>>10116336
Space isn't wasted if it's more comfortable to hold.

So I'm in the process of setting up GarlicOs and the guide has me setting up 4x partitions on one card, and I can only wonder why? What does this accomplish when everything is still reading and writing from the same physical drive? Why is this handheld setup to require such nonsense?

Good luck with your purchase, no matter which you choose to buy.

>there are unironic fucking Datafrog shills in this thread right now
I get shitting on Anbernic. But why are you trying to shill “SNES form factor” on $20 e-waste that can’t even play SNES at full speed?
>b-but
I literally OWN one nigger, and it plays Kirby Dreamland at half-speed, despite being one of the four games it shows on the front fucking page. AND it has awful screen-tearing. And unlike other devices, CFW won’t fix it because people don’t know what the chipset is because the chink devs sanded the processors down, so CFW is impossible.

I just gave up and bought an MM+ instead. Will probably buy a 353PS next if I really end up wanting analog sticks for PS1 and end up hating the bertislop form factor. SNES shape is comfy af, but the SF2000 ain’t the place to find it

>>10114106
>7. Wifi file transfer requires powershell commands or running software on your pc 24/7, it's less of a hassle to just transfer the micro sd card.
This is just not true. I use the Windows file explorer and type in ftp://10.0.0.xx and it just works. Using an actual ftp program works better sure, but I've been using it regularly and only have issues when a game is running because it'll be read only.
>8
I just use cloud saves for backups, you're right about the syncing issues that can arise.

>>10116514
>>there are unironic fucking Datafrog shills in this thread right now
Don't go too hard on them, it's all they can afford.

>>10116514
The chip was already discovered thanks to poking around in another data frog console, but cfw will probably only make performance as good as the rg300/rs97/pap k3/sega gohper 2.

>>10111316
While I do enjoy the back and forth in these threads, I even enjoy keeping up with all the new stuff that comes out. I've yet to buy a single handheld. Not when I have my superior phones. By the way, when it comes to phone controllers, I really have come to love the razer kishi, the first one, not the second. Its ever so slightly a goofy fit but once I actually played with it, its so fucking comfy. Kind of like an xbox control wrap around. Bought a second one too. Really wish the gamesir bluetooth had slightly better button positioning. (i know i know, still technically chinese product and all, but I bought them all for like 20$ on ebay each, used or opened once so, my money went to a re-seller and not accross the water i suppose) my lg premier pro LTE has become my go to for any games up to GBA, just tried some wonder swan games for the first time in my life and WOW they are so pretty looking! Idk what it is but they just pop and are so aesthetic. Just got done setting up my old LG stylo 5 for n64, psp, and ps1 and some ds games. Someday, I'll have a phone that can do gamecube/ps2. XD

>>10116573
Kishi 2 could've been better in ever way if they didnt use those shitty switch style sticks.

The reason I'd get these mini ones isn't for long sessions where comfort is key but for quick pick up and play. You want something that fits in your pocket and you don't really notice.
The SP still wins, pro of the clamshell protecting screen and whatever in your coat pocket. Also has the form of a mini but opens up a bit bigger and useable.
Hope future china attempts are good. In an ideal world miyoo slaps a modem in theirs and I can ditch the smartphone.
V90, gba clone that struggles with gba lol

>>10116347
as someone who did the same today, I got no goddamn clue and the fact that I have to click close on all the other unreadable drives is annoying

You... you can update its firmware, anon...
Do you need someone here to teach you what a file and a folder are? I'm not being facetious, apparently zoomers literally don't know what files even are, anything that doesn't just automatically update itself for them just doesn't get updated.

Isn't the RG35XX's base OS so fucking garbage that Anbernic just ships them with GalicOS preinstalled now?

>hey this is pretty fun. wonder what other ones they have like this
>a gameboy SP that i can play all the gameboy games on is like $20? sweet
>well this is cool but now i see that everybody is talking about the miyoo mini and these RG ones

i think i'll stick with the miyoo for a few months and fuck around with learning how to install custom OS and download my own ROMs etc and then maybe get one of the bigger ones in the $2-300 price range

i haven't played video games except smash bros and fifa at stoner friends' houses since like 2006 so this is kinda fun.

also i have a theory that Temu is 5th gen asymmetrical warfare by China on the western world. bread and circuses while the barbarians just walk through the gate. everyone is so brainfucked that we just retreat into cheap consumerism and nostalgia while the world burns

anyway i was planning on getting a few of those $10-20 tier no-name emulator handhelds for my prep stash because i figure when the Cyber Pandemic/zombie apocalypse/EMP happens, it'll be good to have a few to trade.

>>10116851
