/vr/ - Retro Games

RG35xx board, back side

>>10307668
It has every game that can be emulated on it which it's great for. For native games it's basically just Patapon.

>>10307668
PSP isn't retro.

>>10307679
>just Patapon
If you're going to mention a "rhythm" game then Rock Band is the best you're gonna get on PSP. It's basically Frequency/Amplitude.

>>10307715
It should be, same with the DS. It'll probably take another 10 years for them to be allowed here though.

Stopped getting updates on my R35S again, this time due to it being Canadian Thanksgiving weekend. I know it's sitting at a Toronto airport, waiting to go through customs before it's released to be delivered to my city.
Not playing any retro titles at the moment but one of the Analogue dudes did inspire me to play some physical Puyo Pop. Even tho I love my modded GBA, I'm gonna be doing it on a GBA SP.

>>10307739
I owned an English copy of GB Mystical Ninja back in the day, but it was so damn hard and confusing that I simply got rid of it out of ignorant impotence. The best ones truly are Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon and the DS game, "Tokaidochu Oedo Tengurikaesi no Maki" which was the final entry in the franchise on the Nintendo DS. One Piece even references this game with their Fake Strawhat Crew that shows up in Chapter 61: 598.
This game has everything, and utilizes ALL of the DS's features beautifully whereit doesn't feel like a gimick, even unlocking a space shooter minigame if you have the Ganbare Goemon 1+2 GBA cart in your DS while playing this game.
If you like video games, you need to play Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon on the N64 and the grand finale that was the DS game.

>>10307753
The game even has "New Age Goemon", a terrible reboot of the franchise that only got one PS2 game and one GBA game, in jail in one town for his crimes against the franchise. This game was meant to be the final entry in the series, knowing it was being retired, and they reference EVERYTHING. It is fucking amazing, and was done when Konami was still competent and passionate about video games before their Castlevania failure made them reconsider games as an endeavor, even before Kojima's over-inflated budget for MGSV.

>>10307663
nek yourself

>>10307953
Sweet. Do you own it?

>>10307967
Nope. But it's pretty damn cool sounding.

>>10307668
https://vsrecommendedgames.fandom.com/wiki/PlayStation_Portable
Check this. You've got LOTS of classics you can play on it outside emulation.

>>10307735
Fucking STOP this bullshit baiting for the DS and PSP to be retro. The term "retro" is NOT fluid and never will be.

>>10308018
I agree. Retro means old fashioned and obviously trends from twenty years ago are still fresh and hip.

Hi, I'm the guy a month ago that did not know whether to order a PSP on aliexpress, I just arrived yesterday, So far it looks and feels good, aesthetically it is a 7/10 but the important thing is working.

thanks to the anon who wished me luck, it arrived just in the color I wanted. :D

>>10307953
holy kino

>>10308029
oh, wrong pic.

Man I want the new miyoo flip

>>10304741
I'd say almost there. The fine pitch work for the CPU/RAM/Ribbon connecter and proper use of a hot air station to not cook them. Chip quick helps but you need to be able able clean it up. If you want practice because you're not sure I'd get two LED practice kits with chips, populate it and make sure it works, then transfer everything to the second ones board, and if it still works then you'll have a much better feel.

>>10308041
Me too bro, me too...

>>10308041
>gba shape
>can't play gba games
how?

>>10308059
>can't play gba games
What do you mean?

>>10308018
>The term "retro" is NOT fluid and never will be.
It's extremely fluid. and I WON'T stop unless I get bored of it.
>>10308021
missing an /s?

https://youtu.be/LIMepWAzUuw?si=5dfJ-H0Uo-qjCX6i

>>10308063
Maybe that anon means carts or something? But you can just emulate them anyways. I just wonder if the Flip will have the problems that the updates Miyoo Mini v4 has in terms of screen.

>>10308079
>I just wonder if the Flip will have the problems that the updates Miyoo Mini v4 has in terms of screen.
As long as I know the miyoo flip will be exactly the same specs as the MM+ (screen size and chip) but on the GBA SP form factor

>>10308018
You already lost. Why even bother trying to hold ground anymor? We tried to stop you earlier

>>10308036
I have that same screen in my Anbernic RG505 :-)
How much did you pay? Mine was 160€.

legitimately do not understand how it's physically possible to create plastic this fragile

>>10308097
umm no sweaty your 505 has the OLED Vita screen.

>>10308103
C-close enough?

>>10308109
perhaps.

>>10308018
Retro is a Latin prefix which just means backwards. In our lexicon, the common understanding of retro is something that is at least 20 years old(living/dead beings withstanding). By the nature of how time works, retro is by definition a fluid category.

>>10308097
>RG505
oh no. its a PSP 1000

>>10308134
From OP:
>We discuss handhelds that can play retro games
If your handheld can play retro games, it can be discussed.
Stop being a cunt, you cunt.

>>10308076
What a dork
>>10308101
>Hand slipped a litte
Skill issue

>>10308018
You're half correct. Retro means anything more than twenty years ago. Guess what the DS becomes in one month?

>>10308157
It's 19 years 11 months old you sick fuck!

>>10308094
>YoU already LoSt
Retro is fluid to some extent, but it still stands. This board is about retro vidya. Not contemporary video games by any means.

>>10308161
>/v/ zoomers and /vr/ millennials literally counting down the minutes until the Nintendo DS is legally retro

>>10308157
>Guess what the DS becomes in one month?
19. I hope you weren't under the impression it released november 2003?? also interesting that PSP is only one month after ds

>>10308063
the powkiddy v90 struggled with gba games so i wonder if ut would be the same for this

>>10308173
So is retro fluid or not? If it's fluid, that means it isn't rigidly restricted to specifically, exactly twenty years.
On top of that, don't pretend that Nintendo didn't openly want to have the GBA, DS, and GCN all during the same generation as some "triple threat" strategy before they saw how stupid popular the DS was and prematurely killed the GBA to focus on the DS. Nintendo themselves consider the DS family to be sixth gen.

>>10308182
Yes, the 3DS is a seventh-generation handheld.

>>10308182
i choose to define it as not fluid.
>On top of that, don't pretend that Nintendo didn't openly want to have the GBA, DS, and GCN all during the same generation as some "triple threat" strategy before they saw how stupid popular the DS was and prematurely killed the GBA to focus on the DS.

I don't know why you're telling me this, but yeah nintendo is stupid and gay.

>>10308191
I just think it's silly that the entire sixth generation of game systems are considered to be retro except for the Nintendo DS, just because it came out in 2004.

>>10308194
DS and PSP are 7th gen. Regardless I don't consider 6th gen retro.

>N-Gage officially became 20 years old yesterday
>/vr/ has accepted N-Gage discussion for months now
If we can make an exception for the fucking N-Gage, we're making one for the fucking Nintendo DS.

what would you guys say is the best chinkshit handheld for DS games? I was looking at the powkiddy rgb30 but it doesn't have a touchscreen

>>10308203
Stop larping as anyone who has any real power.

>>10308203
It's more that N-Gage discussion slipped through the cracks because no one really cares. You can find Vita and 3DS game discussion and as long as it doesn't get too out of hand no one cares. It's not because people think those are retro.

>>10307668
wipeout, locoroco, patapon, lumines

>>10308206
the ds ml, of course

>>10308206
Something widescreen, vertical stacking doesn't matter for 99% of the games. You can use the right stick as a touch cursor on RGB30 tho, which is better than physically touching the screen imo.

>>10308197
DS is sixth gen. Seventh gen starts November 2005, a year later after the DS released. The handheld families even co-exist with the fucking home consoles they go with, for fuck's sake. ie; PSP is 7th gen and works with the 7th gen console, the PS3. Vita is 8th gen and works with the 8th gen console, the PS4. DS was 6th gen, 3DS was 7th gen, and then Nintendo made the Switch both their handheld/home console for 9th gen. Does the 3DS even have any compatibility with the Switch besides transferring with Pokemon Home?

>>10308216
Nope, it's 7th gen. DS was the first 7th gen console, PSP soon after. 3DS and Vita are 8th gen. Shitch is 9th gen as you said.

Just ordered a Miyoo Mini Plus, /vr/os.

Does anyone know if the wifi function lets me upload saves to an FTP server? I want to get a Memorycard Pro so I can move PS1 saves between the Miyoo and a real PS2.

>>10308216
Wikipedia says otherwise :^)

>>10308225

>>10308103
...and what a beautiful screen it is.

>>10308231
I love that screen but Im on the fence about hacking it. Should I get another, non-oled model for that?

>>10308235
Installing CFW is super easy now, and it's reversible. I can't think of a reason not to mod the one you have. https://vita.hacks.guide/uninstalling-cfw.html

>>10308178
The v90 is just a bittboy clone and the bittboy always sucked for gba. Hell the fc3000 is the best device with that chip with STOCK.

where the fuck is it

first it was supposed to launch end of July, then RGH got a preview unit last week and said it might launch this weekend

>>10308290
I have to ask, do you really, actually need the current months flavor handheld this badly?

>>10308178
That's supposed to have a RK3566 IIRC, more than enough for GBA.

>>10308149
I’m not being a cunt, you’re being a retard. The word retro hasn’t changed meaning for over 2000 years and a bunch of mouth breathing glib niggers such as yourself have had more than enough impact on the devolution of the English lexicon. I’m done, you have shit for brains, shut your fucking worthless cocksucker.

>>10308290
who cares, its just yet another PS1 device. there is no reason these companies cant come out with a dreamcast capable handheld at a good price

>>10307663
Just got a DSI xl with an R4 card to play a few non retro Castlevania games. Are any of the emulators good?

>>10308373
kek no.

>>10308231
the Vita is beautiful, I really don't get why retards get chinkhelds if you're just looking to emulate up to 5th gen stuff plus GB/GBA/GBC stuff.

>>10308290
2expensive4me for what it does. 32 bit devices peaked with the Miyoo Mini + and RG35XX, so unless this retails for $40 it's a dead in the water pointless piece of shit.

>>10308336
I agree with you that the DS isn't retro, but you're being the illiterate retard here. The DS can play retro games. This is a thread for handhelds that can play retro games. 99% of the handhelds discussed in these threads are from 2022/current year. People discuss playing shit on the DS, 3DS, PSP, and Vita all of the time. You're being retarded. Stop it.

>>10308336
The word retro has only existed for about sixty years.l and originally meant tech as old as half a decade/five years.

>>10308336
...English hasn't existed for 2000 years, let alone the word retro
Unless you believe in the Christian bible and think the Tower of Bable happened in like the first fucking week of humanity

>>10308382
because used Vitas are twice as much and require work to play emulators on

>>10308382
The Vita also just feels fragile
I want something sturdy like the SF2000, reminds me of the GBP/GBC that I could just toss in my pocket without any worry. I need a case and sleeve for my Vita to feel safe travelling with it.

>>10308410
RP3+ even more so. Feels like if you twist it slightly too much, it's going to break in two. Nothing beats a psp fat for build quality imo

>>10308413
huh
og PSP was the one with the flying UMD meme

I say, don't you know?
You say you don't know
I say... take me out
I say, you don't show
Don't move, time is slow
I say... take me out

>>10308410
The Vitas feel really sturdy. I always just threw it in my pocket.

>>10308431
>2005
>flying UMDs and leaked Family Guy episode both debut together as a, "it's a feature!" thing
good times

>>10308443
>og 4chan memes with wryyyyy and Azumanga Daioh

God I hate how the PSP-2000 is even worse quality than the og PSP besides its screen. The shells literslly feel like the same plastic that gumball machine capsules are made out of. I thought I was upgrading my og 1000 to the red God of War 2000 model and it feels like such a fucking piece of shit.

>>10308076
Why doe she sound like leafy

>>10308336

>>10308393
The discussion in question started in response to someone saying the PSP and DS (not the games they emulate) should be retro.
You're either being disingenuous, or are too retarded to follow the chain you're replying to. Either way, fuck off faggot.

>>10308460

>>10308018
You lost this battle when /vr/ allowed 6th gen a few years back.

>>10308475
And I said I agree that the DS is not retro. You're being the disingenuous cunt.

>>10308312
name me another handheld which has:
metal dome switches (not rubberdome trash)
no larger than the Vita
screen at least 4"
screen resolution at least 1280x720
playstation layout
other buttons also in the correct place (start and select are on the FRONT)
shoulder buttons don't stick out past the back of the device
analog sticks don't stick out past the buttons
passive cooling (no fan)
front facing stereo speakers, NOT positioned below where your thumbs would be
price is not an issue

Trimui has achieved absolute perfection, just by copying the Vita. the only thing I would change is to increase the curvature on the edge, the Smart Pro has a hybrid shape between square slop and the Vita curve.

>>10308503
Your only arguing point was
>um the OP is about systems that play retro games not the systems themselves!
You clearly had no intention of being a part of the discussion you replied to.

>>10308583
My little anon can't be this jaded and illiterate!

Can't we get along?
Frens?
pls?

>>10308637
Yes, just know where you stand.

>>10308637
no
also, can't make this shit up

>>10308662
Me too, but this false information gets to stay up>>10308018
Sounds like jannys had a bundle of panties she/he needed to dilate. Retro is fluid by the universal function of time moving forward. DS will be retro soon, deal with leotard geezers

This was once a leader in price/performance.
I was there, 3000 years ago!

>>10308178
Have a V90, name the secret game that ruined GBA on v90 so I can be absolutely sure you're talking out your ass

>>10308637
Is that the LDK? How does it compare to this thing?

>>10308573
Its widescreen but can it even play psp games?

>>10308690
Yes, LDK, i don't know how it compares, didn't have the Anbernic.

>>10307739
wonderful ost
some of game modes are way too hard/fast for me though
>>10307953

i almost need to pick one of these up
i had a small zeki dvd android player
it got a surprising amount of use

>>10308383
still better dpad placement than most knockoffs huehuehue
>>10308637
WE ARE STILL FIGHTING

>>10308637
What is that a gameboy themed door stopper?

>>10308694
Megadrive, Wonderswan, and PS1 can benefit from a wider screen tbdesu. A 4" 960*720 screen would've been cool tho yeah, but who knows if that even exists or can be had for cheap.

>>10308637
We can get along as soon as you retards give the Vita the credit that it's due

>>10308694
I have a Vita but I have never played a PSP game. that said, according to RGH the Smart Pro can play 70% of PSP games at 30+ fps, so yes it can play them but it's kinda shit.

I'm more interested in PS1 games, which I don't typically play on my Vita because:
the best performance is with using hacks to bypass Adrenaline and you need to do some custom bubble fuckery and ROM conversion and I can't be assed to do any of that, not to mention you give up savestates and all other conveniences
using Adrenaline gives good performance but you still need to do some sort of stupid fuckery with the ROMs and the PSP menu is obnoxious
Retroarch is the most convenient way but the PS1 emulator can't handle any 3d game at full speed

If I replace the sticks in the X28, will they function properly or is it a software issue?

>>10308735
It's software unfortunately.

>>10308737
That's a damn shame. I thought I wouldn't really care but now that it's become my go-to device for game streaming, they're bothering me a lot more. Must be a complicated issue because they released the fix for the L2/R2 pretty early after launch.

>>10308743
Gamma made it sound like it'd be a pretty easy fix if they just gave him kernal access or w/e the fug he said, but they can't because Unisoc is fucking gay and won't allow it. that and gamma is a fat lazy cunt and is currently dying of aids. still my favorite handheld

Yep, still the best

>>10308753
Pretty stylish, love the finish. I never got any of the dingoos. If I have a caanoo is it worth it or no?

>>10308687
Gpsp cant play steel empire unless that got fixed. Sonic advanced 2 cant reach full speed without overclock, and even with of, the device gets hot and sound is fucked. Sonic advanced 1 is almost full speed with minor oc, but like all bitboy devices, you still notice screen tearing. Crash nitro cart also cant reach full speed and I'm not even sure oc helps with that. I heard gba runs and looks much better with the latest retroarch from the dicksword, but no one ever posted results.

>>10308779
I still hate no chinahled manufacture copied the caanoo or neogeo's control pad. Six buttonheld tend to have shirty switch style sticks or psp nubs

>>10308797

>>10308448
It also doesn't help that the PSP 2000 is smaller and the UMD drive feels even less reliable than the 1000's.

>>10308235
I'm a brainlet but modding the Vita is no more complicated than it is modding a 3DS/Wii. They made the instructions simple and if you modded those, you can mod a Vita just fine.
Even if you don't see much point in doing so, it's at least worth modding the console just to take advantage of those MicroSD2Vita adapters. The Vita's proprietary storage is just too expensive and it's not worth it.

Is this the final solution for a non nintnedo console that can emulate switch?

>>10308714
Analouge needs to either Shape up or ship out regarding the v2 pocket, or their won't be a v3 pocket beyond that of vaporware.

>>10308894
The fuck? why was this deleted?

>>10308753
>not the 330

>>10308920
Not retro I'm guessing. If you talk about these chinkhelds, it has to be in the context of using them for retro games.

>>10307663
Would you buy a handheld that's just a shell to put in a RPi CM5 (when it comes out)?
Assuming it's priced like $60 and the CM5 about $50.

>>10308964
I was gifted a handheld that is built for the Pi Zero/Zero 2. It's neat.

>>10308809
Sorry, I need a handheld with at least three sticks

>>10309005
The Neo Geo X stick is on the back

>>10308913
>there wont be more analogue stuff
>sells out everytime and is scalped to hell and back
uhhh people have been saying this since the neogeo mvs reshell era

>>10309014
im still sad that this wasn't good
even with the "poor" emulation\sound
not having a user serviceable battery (its glued in)
fucking sucks so much, you have to destroy the unit to get in there
i resold my neoX for more than i paid
it was comfy but basically a ticking timebomb

>>10308797
The caanoo definitely has the best of the gamepark sticks that I have. The gp32 stick is a faux dpad that also has the neogeo click feel, gp2x is God awful I had to put an aftermarket stick on it, but the gp2x f200 has a very nice dpad. Never picked up the wiz or dingoos. But that a3200 dpad looks like it feels like velvet gold.

Why is this shit all named things like "Dingdong cafoo gf2x"

whats the cheapest chinkheld that can 100% ps2
im gay

>>10309112
Different era. Gamepark is the first company to make handheld emulation machines. The gp32 stands for gamepark 32bit, gp2x stands for gamepark second handheld, then things kind of fell apart. The wiz, dingoo, caanoo were seemingly random and idk why the fuck gph chose those names, but they're fun names to say and the dingo/caanoo/wiz are still better than more than half of the chonkies coming out literally ten years later. Superior Korean engineering. It sucks that gamepark couldn't hold on until covid, they would be making handhelds that give your dead grandpa a hard on, but the e.ukation handheld markst was extremely niche and they were barely holding on by a thread the whole time. By the time the pyra(unofficial successor to gamepark) and Gpd win were, gamepark was ready on its way out

>>10309153
***but the emulation handheld market was extremely niche and they were barely holding on by a thread the whole time. By the time the pyra(unofficial successor to gamepark) and Gpd win were being developed, gamepark was already on its way out****

>>10309220
I don't see why we should have either of those things.

>>10308083
The chip's the same as the RK2023's, check the spread sheet tourist.

>>10309220
You remember when cell phones just kept getting smaller. That was so fucking weird. Big phones were not in style and considered expensive paper weights or door stops. Then all of a sudden, bam you have a TV in your pocket.

>>10309220
Try playing PS2 on a 3.5" screen and then come back to us.

>>10309257
Vita played PS2 ports just fine, and wasn't a fat bitch

I should have bought another new Vita when I had the chance, I should have bought another new 3DSXL when I had the chance.

>>10309330
They usually adjust the text and ui scale for portable ports right?

>>10309343
https://youtu.be/ZlgnXjApyO4?si=YaUooLsh5WxMCGqK&t=108
looks exactly the same, actually

>>10309347
Seems like a kind of lazy port then.

>>10309351
it's a port, not a remaster. I played it on Vita and it looked fine.

>>10309351
The games were optimized for the screen. You don't need huge ui on small screens, especially if it's not even hd. The ps Vita is 1/4 hd, so the original text probably doesn't need a lot of fiddling for it to be fine on it. This isn't a matter of Morrowind being played in 4k or some stupid shit. Moron

>>10309365
No need to be upset anon.

>>10309372
You don't want edgy responses, lay off the apathy, sonny. Or are you not aware enough to see how your passive aggressive angst wears through your keyboard?

>>10309385
It would only seem passive aggressive to someone who is personally offended at the idea of a vita port of ratchet and clank being ported lazily.

>>10309394
It's the fact that your so unaware of the hardware itself you treat everything like it was made in 2020. Calling it lazy because of your own ignorance, when it's not lazy at all. And you have the audacity to double down on absolutely nothing cause you've been a dingus this entire time. I can smell the morning zoom on your breath.

>>10309330
I think the Vita actually struggled playing GoW 1/2 HD. Considering how demanding those games were on PS2 though it shouldn't be shocking that a handheld with 2011 hardware couldn't handle it though.

>>10309405
I don't get why you're so offended. When porting a game to a device with a smaller screen its a good idea to make the text bigger. You see this a lot with games. Monster hunter tri ultimate for example.
Do I need to take pictures of my dusty old vita's for you to calm down?

>>10309409
funnily enough, the Vita was actually severely underclocked at 444mhz, the CPU was designed for 2ghz, but Sony decided the heat and battery life would be disastrous at full power so they limited it. but anyway, the original argument was that PS2 games designed for TV would have UI elements too small on a 5" display, which I think is bullshit. PS2 may have been capable of full HD, but most games were designed around 480i because standard definition composite video was still what most people had at the time.

>>10309421
3DS screens are disgustingly small and low resolution, and the Wii was in the start of the HD generation, it's no wonder they had to change the UI.

>>10309421
Ok I'm not going to yell at you. You're not understanding the equation. The PS2 had a resolution of 480i, why would they make the text smaller when porting games to the Vita? The Vita, which has double the resolution as the PS2, do you see what I'm saying?

>>10309449
What? No I'm saying they should make the text bigger because the screen is physically smaller.

There was probably no need to. The assets for ui were probably at a perfect scalability in the ps2 version... most likely compressed textures that could be easily uncompressed and used at a higher resolution, but we don't know. You just said it was lazy because, why? The text looks great in every port I've played on Vita, what does it matter if it's not scaled. Is that like a meme now?

>>10309330

>>10309454
a 20" standard definition TV (common size for an entry level CRT at the time) at 6' viewing distance is 50 pixels per degree.
a Vita held at 1' is 46 ppd.

so a Vita screen actually appears larger and easier to see than watching a 20" TV from a couch 6' away.

>>10309483
Thats the data I was looking for. Well there I go I guess.

pi5, 2.7x faster, yet all the tech demos are "wow I can run this game with an extra 2fps". What gives? Wasnt this supposed to be a big improvement?

>>10309595

If it was popular, an adapter would've been made in about 5 minutes. MicroSD to whatever abomination of a "game cart" it used, would've been pretty easy with a double sided circuit board. Hell, I bet you could design one yourself, the only component you need is a microSD holder.

RP3+, goddamn man, feels good. Such a huge step up from the V90. PS2, Gamecube, Dreamcast, everything under it. Here I was jazzed about starfox2 and ssx3, this thing does it all. Even carried over my pokemon emerald save so I can fastforward the slo-mo GBA pokemon games. Can play call of duty doom with gyro for perfect aim with my custom wads, tomorrow Im throwing on the music and videos. Wii apparently supports motion controls on RP3+, wonder if its worth it for the OTG cable to hook up a dolphin bar and take this thing on the road. Hook into a hotel TV with the hdmi.

One more real gripe, I havent figured out how to apply settings per-game so Im killing progress of one game's A/B=B/A. Lets be real, Retroarch's UI sucks for common sense interaction but its the only thing that comes with the RP3+ that can do per-game-basis control remapping without fucking with the others.

>>10309845

>>10309330
What's the verdict on the Odin2?
It doesn't have an OLED screen, right?

>>10310163
it has the same screen as the odin 1.
it plays everything that can be emulated on android at full speed, apart from the hardest to run Switch games.

>>10310141
it's just a basic design sketch that someone threw colors on to make it look more interesting. it's not from miyoo, the final handheld will probably be quite different, and i doubt they'd make a multicolored one.

>>10310207
It's roughly the same price as the Lenovo Y700 2023 right now, difficult choice to impulse buy. Comes down to whether I want the bigger screen or active cooling + built in gamepad.

i hate that sub kek

Decided to move onto GC emulation with my Odin Lite. Are the games in the Parappa series known for being difficult, I can't get the timing down in Um Jammer Lammy for shit.
Also Clock Tower for PS1 seems to be a pretty good follow up to the SNES original. I like how forgiving it is with the hint system to get the best endings, as well as the ability to save basically anywhere. Granted, only made it to scenario 2 so far before my eyes felt too tired to keep playing,
but it doesn't seem that obtuse for its time either.

holy. fucking. kino.

I'm still on my smartphone/telescopic controller setup that's been serving me well for 6 months now, alongside RetroArch. I can't recommend it enough for those that have and old smartphone around gathering dust, and that want to start it out with something really cheap before going in with a dedicated handheld, a cheap controller is not as bad as it sounds, this MOCUTE-060 was a steal, and yet it's been working fine. I've been in a bit of a Disney episode, replaying some of the stuff I grew up with... recently I discovered that a Lion King video game, with both films being in it, for Game Boy Color, and to my surprise they took inspiration from how the Genesis/SNES title from the 90's played, I always wanted more of that, it's here... the main issue is that the OST has only a single track for all levels, but thankfully you can mute it while keeping the SFX, to play a different song in the background if you wish. I think it's a fine title really, managed to beat it 100% on the hardest difficulty setting, exploring levels is fun.

>>10310852
the cheap controllers being bluetooth and not just usb-c are the main downside to me, fuck charging yet another battery.

>>10310881
There's the kishi v1, but it has the shittest dpad ever known to man. Can be fixed with scotch tape, but it sometimes slips off and you'll have to reapply it.

>>10310881
I agree, my main fear was actually the input lag, but maybe I got lucky since it's been fine for me so far. It's a pain having separate batteries, but for most of these controllers they last long on a single charge, so it isn't too much of an issue in the long run, only in those scenarios where one battery is low while the other is fine, which I do admit is quite a pain and breaks the fun of it all.

>>10310852
Why do you have the game stretched to hell and back?
It looks fucked

I'm trying to decide between getting a Backbone controller or a steam deck at the minute.

>>10310889
they are very different use cases. i would say if you're usually a pc gamer and like tinkering with stuff, the deck will probably bring you more fun.

>>10310889
>Why do you have the game stretched to hell and back?
I've never minded the streching much, used to play 4:3 stuff in 16:9 a lot when I began to play the stuff I grew up with again, with emulators, and it didn't bother me that it didn't look the same as it did on my old 4:3 TV, over time I did begin to prefer 4:3 again, but in this case, with such a wide device, over 25cm long, having so much negative space bothers me more than a stretch, it's a matter of picking your poison, it would be ideal to have a 16:9 or 4:3 screen.

>>10310852
Not wide enough

>>10310904
I mostly just want something comfy to play in bed, kind of getting sick of being tied to a desk to do everything, but I don't know if I'm going to use it enough to spend £400 instead of £70

Looks nice but not a fan of the discolored sticks

>>10311106
agreed. it comes with red and black caps you can pop on though. think the red looks really good desu. you don't even have to open the device, the caps pop on and off from the outside (shown around 20:05 in vid below)

any chinkheld that doesn't get a black colorway gets an auto-pass, but even tossing aside that limitation, this color combo is just ugly

the deck is pretty heavy, so maybe not that comfy for bed.

>>10308964
I don't think so, the RPi5 uses up to 25watts of power ;-)

>>10310231
Nay, sold it to some dude for 25€. The screen was much to small for my bad eyes.
I use a RG505 mainly now.

>>10311154
I know people that react to stretched content, I never got how other people's eyes couldnt adapt or compensate to it. Shouldnt they be tripping out watching pixie sized people on youtube when its on their phones? Indian in the cupboard/downsizing style? I feel like theres some venn diagram overlap on people that cant handle stretch and people who said they got sick playing FPS games before it was cool or playing VR games. Where's those untold millions that totally legitimately got sick from FPS games?

Feels like a gluten allergy hysteria but for video content displayed. Hell, ipod videos should have really broken their special eyes if theyre watching pirates of the carribean on one of those fat nanos.

>>10311159
It’s probably because they’re trying to recreate the famicom color scheme instead of something more known like the SNES/Supa Famicom colors. Doesn’t feel like they have the right colors though.
I hope Ayaneo still keeps that shell for future Android products though. Not a fan of the smartphone/glass design they’re going with the Pocket S

modded doom with gyro, its a complete bastardization of the OG version. Turns it into a Hot Fuzz or escelator scene from Total Recall. Its the second most accurate aiming system Ive ever used next to VR. Usual Lthumb Rthumb + Gyro XY at super high sensitivity, sometimes I dont even touch the R thumb to aim its that accurate.

I dont know how new the RP3+ is but I resent myself not finding out about this at launch for this price. Its consolidated a tablet, v90, iphone and a little of my pc (sadly ive lost all trust in steam link) into one device.

If I can figure out open RCT2 on it and some dosbox starcraft I could retire on this thing.

i just cant shake the feeling that we're gonna get hit with a new wave of amazing devices at great pricepoints in the next year

>>10311427
Ah yes, I was on the same bote as you a couple of month ago, a "safe" purchase is either the RG35XX, MM+ or any device between that price point, chinks are putting out higher end devices every single month so don't bother with them

>>10311427
Yeah, I don't know about the amazing part, chinks just make shit flawed on purpose.

>>10311427
Relax anon, there's already a handful of decent devices out on the market, like AYN's Odin products, Ayaneo's Pocket Air, or any of Retroid's recent devices from what I hear. Like one anon said, if you worry too much about what'll happen in the future, you'll never be happy in the present.
If price is a concern, wait for major chinese holidays or hop on the Retro Handhelds discord and buy a used device there.

>>10311414
>>10311427
This is the business model
Just buy something that plays what you want to play now and when you're out of games to play on it only then look for something else

>>10311401
If I had a cellphone or handheld that long sure, but I cant think of many examples IRL like this.

>>10308964

>>10311217
There's an actions (brand) chip in the corner so I was thinking maybe the main soc is also actions.

>25W
The soc doesn't consume 25W. I'm guessing you were thinking of the official power supply, but most of that power is meant for USB devices plugged into the SBC.

>>10311534
Yeah pretty much, there would be a slot to put the module in. The Pi CM form factor is also often used by clones so it could mean choices of different socs/memory/whatever.
To go further with this idea maybe a modular handheld could be made, with swappable controls, screen, case and so on.

You're going to see my logo on the AYN Odin 2. I promise!

>>10308382
Because the RG35XX is much cheaper, because I am cheap. And it's small.

>>10311315
I didn't realize that for how poorly executed it is but now that you mention it you're probably right in the famicom homage colors

would never even consider buying a premium handheld unless it can do PS2/Gamecube.

>>10312237
What is premium to you?

>>10312250
more than $150

Pocket started its skipping process earlier, looking forward to it and planning to make the most of its other cores, got the transparent red one.

>>10312276

>>10312281
I looked the other day, but apparently this piece of shit still doesn't have filter support for cores, and the update that was meant to have them was actually just some bullshit that was just "misinterpreted" by everyone?

I honestly don't know why anyone would even want one of these things. The games don't even run at native framerates, everything is just upped to 60.

>>10312521
>but apparently this piece of shit still doesn't have filter support for cores,
Nope, Analogue is slow as fuck at doing anything. Current cope is after translucent they'll start doing more on the software side given they've caught up with orders. That's not to say that they won't make another special edition though
>and the update that was meant to have them was actually just some bullshit that was just "misinterpreted" by everyone?
They outright said OpenFPGA will support them soon (1 year ago lmfao)
>I honestly don't know why anyone would even want one of these things.
Nice screen is a large chunk of the reason. I've been burned multiple times by chinkhelds with washed out low quality 480p screen. Cart support is another, ability to use the link cable and such. OpenFPGA has a sizeable core list of pretty well everything I want to play minus PSX but that's not going to happen.
>The games don't even run at native framerates, everything is just upped to 60.
Dunno where you got this, can't find anything like it by googling.

It's not for everyone and I can see why anons hate the device. Analogue themselves are a fucking aids company who deserve the shit thrown at them. It's the perfect example of a shit company having a good product. Most of what makes it good is the community-made content for it.

>>10312553
For me the main issue is the absolute joke of a price due to scalping. If I could pick one up for 200 bucks and it had filters, I could live with the crap D-pad and awful triggers.

Honestly, the chink handhelds are improved a lot with very simplistic filters. Do they look amazing? No. But for 50 bucks, it's not bad. I'll probably just wind up waiting for a chink to work out they could put in a high resolution screen in one.

>>10312563
That kind of display is meant for VR headsets. Anyone can buy one today, and they work over the standard MIPI interface.
I think the reason no one else has done it is simply because it's not necessary.

>>10312563
Yeah, the scalping is beyond aids. I got lucky ordering mine but with something like this I shouldn't be up against scalpers for a product that's sold out within 5-10 minutes of launch.

>>10312584
Even without scalping, you're looking at like 100 bucks shipping in most of the world because "fuck you". If they were actually 220 bucks like they claim to be on their site, I wouldn't have a problem with them.

>>10312572
I think the reason nobody else has done it is because chink handhelds are pretty underpowered and the chinks are pretty clueless about anything but copying each other. There are severe scaling issues on every chink handheld due to the shitty resolutions, if you want to play a tate shooter your options are postage stamp or non-integer scaling. Most devices don't even have support for actual filters in retroarch, they only do overlays.

>>10312384
If you spend $150 on a handheld and it can't handle basic gen 6 emulation, you're terminally retarded.
Plain and simple.

>>10312596
so, what $150 device is able to handle that then?

>>10312629
The RP3+ and 2S can handle a good portion of both libraries, and both come at or under $150.

>>10312637
Not true by the way.

>>10309945
now type that again without crying

>>10312651

>>10312553
>a shit company having a good product.
>Most of what makes it good is the community-made content for it.
tbqh this applies to the chinkheld companies as well, just that you can get chinkhelds for way cheaper than what Analogue charges for the Pocket

>>10312897
true, pretty much every single chinkheld needs aftermarket firmware. retroid is maybe the one exception.

>>10311005
I kek'd

>>10311296
I'm with you on the adapting thing, I really find that after a few seconds it looks completely natural to me.

>>10311401
A 1:1 stretched into 21:9 really is too much, even for me, but 4:3 into 16:9, for example, I think it's just fine.

>>10311569
Why? I'm being genuine, don't see what's the big deal.

did anyone end up taking a gamble on the gameforce 2?

How good is the EverSD? Those $60 handheld Tito and Capcom devices coming out in another month have a slot for Evercade cartridges.

>>10313127
looks like shit. buying a flash cart for a shitty emulation device which only USP is having official paid roms is retarded. just get an actually good emulation handheld for cheaper.

Do you play mostly new games or classics you like?
I downloaded a bunch of games I wanted to try only to play nothing but Pokemon Fire Red, Tetris and Donkey Kong.

>>10313205
I download a bunch of things I might want to play, but stick to my favorites just like you... though sometimes I attempt new titles from my favorite franchises.

>>10313205
Sometimes classics just to play wherever, but I do use them to download games where second hand copies are just too expensive.

>>10313205
I play stuff I haven't already completed before.

>>10312752
What emulator you using? Silly question: but do you have the right bios? In the right folders?

>>10312629
Unironically, most smart phones at that price range. Can get 6-8gb of ram at that price range or close too and a solid gpu.

>>10313257
I've considered getting a clip-on controller for my phone. Is Android's input lag really as bad as people say?

its kinda bullshit how the 405m build quality is dogshit because i like the size better than the rp3+

2nd hand android phone, or the phone you already own
Telescopic USB-C controller

I have a 4a 5G and it handles most shit reasonably well, but ideally you want a Snap Dragon 855 or later.
If I was going to buy a phone specifically with emulation in mind I would have got something better but this is the phone that was already in my pocket so eh, a controller was £40 and it does everything I want it to.

>>10313441
Controller recommendations?

>>10313458
You've not got that many options if you want a wired connection

Backbone One: Expensive, nice, doesn't work with almost any case, has a fucking infuriating app linked to a button that can't be rebound, power and headphone jack passthroughs

Gamesir X2/X3: Cheaper, also nice, though triggers aren't analog, no headphone jack but has power/audio passthrough

Gamevice: Expensive, nice, headpone/mic

Razer Kishi: Dogshit dpad, looks OK otherwise

Some other one's are turning up as time goes on but IDK about them.

I got the X2, its nice enough and feels good enough for what I wanted to do with it, don't really care about the lack of analog triggers as I don't like playing home console games on such a small screen, works great for handhelds and PS1 though

I really want a PMP IV now, or an SF2000

Honestly wish I could buy these for more people, there is another girl on my team who seems to enjoy Tetris

>>10313312
>build quality is dogshit
mine feels really solid

>>10313605
x2 pro has analog triggers

>>10313605
Why can’t any of this shit have the dpad on top? I have the Kishi v2 and that’s really my only complaint, is there no decent option?

>>10313685
No, take your stickslop

>>10313437
I'm having fun doing my thing in a way I enjoy to do so, what's the problem with it? I don't get it...

>>10313312
Have you tried not buying chinkhelds with known critical flaws? That'd help.

>>10313685
because it's made for playing call of duty and genshin impact, not sonic cd

>>10313279
Most controllers have a usb c input these days. No lag whatsoever. Bluetooth might have some lag but for lower gen games thats not even an issue.

>>10313656
I will be using my kishi v1 for sometime. The dpad IS a little squishy but I like it all the same.

>>10313605
I never said anything about wired. I know most android controllers are wireless.

>>10313605
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/elovagabond/elo-vagabond-controller-play-console-games-on-your-phone

>>10314121
good morning gamesir.

>>10314121
that looks wayyyyyy better than both the 2 razer ones and gamesir "joycon style" phone grips Ive tried.

Most chinkhelds are random companies reaching into a parts bin and throwing shit at the wall until something sticks. The last big thing to "stick" was the Miyoo Mini and its derivatives (Mini+ and RG35XX). Ever since then, all those companies are trying to chase the lightning again.

I got a shipping notification for my pocket.

>>10307663
Worms, on N-gage. Yes please!

>>10307663
WORMS on the N-Gage? Yes, please!

>>10314210

>>10314218
Whoops sorry, had to fix the pic. But I appreciate this, it's very heartwarming. Happy October, anon.

am i the only one miffed at the lack of bluetooth functionality on the lower budget handhelds? i'm not gonna play bing bing wahoo games in public unless i can use wireless earbuds, just sayin

My RP3+ has been picked up according to the shipping tracker but has been in, what seems like, the same location for 4 days now. Is that normal for 4PX?

>>10314270
>muh airpods
fuck you

>>10314270
just embrace it

>>10314270
I can still play coop tony hawk on my n-gage using Bluetooth. Chonkieheld cope is real, kek

>>10314136
The kishi 1 biggest benefit is that it is super compact when not in use.

>>10314346
uhh, rg35xx sisters?? our response???

slider chinkheld when?

>>10314284
I did it via amazon, saw all these threads and nope'd out of this whole headache, 4 days still felt like a month though. Sounds like a customs inspection of yours and the other couple hundreds packaged with it, 3 weeks I'd guess based on other's before and after shipping experience. You're gonna love it when it gets here.

>>10314589
Gotcha, definitely kicking myself for not shelling out the extra money for amazon. Feel like it'll make me appreciate it even more though when it gets here.

>>10314549
Anon, I was so stoked when this was being pushed around the grapevine. I'm still a little bummed we don't have anything like it. Closest is God win 1/2

Going to give my Miyoo Mini to my sister and just use my RG353V instead but i want to transfer all my saves/savestates to it.
Im using ARKOS, put the files in the respective ark/.config/saves folder, but retroarch wont load the saves states.

Any clue?

>>10313120
I wanted to but my bank account is inactive and card expired. Since I'm a shut in, it's a payne in the ass. I was gonna try windows/linux games on it.

>>10314658
Save states are stored on the ROM's folder by default on ArkOS.

>>10314658
never used arkos, but retroarch uses a different folder "states" for savestates. you can always check in the retroarch directory settings to see where it is looking.

>>10314689
gross, just change the directory setting, don't litter your rom directories

>>10314689
>>10314693
Thanks, upon further inspection im clinically retarded. Yes, savestates were outside the roms folder in the Miyoo Mini, on the RG353V were on a .config folder that i could only access directly with the file manager on the device.

But i noticed i was playing the GBA game (Tomato Adventure) using the gbsp core on the MM and the mGBA core on the 353V. Fuck me.

Thanks for the input, anons.

>>10314713
Saves go in the roms folder on SD2 too, just so you know.

I got an RG353V off of Temu. Is there anything I should do with it or any CFW I should know about before I get started? I see it came with the "lawsuit safe" ROMset common to these handhelds where they just scalp the Mario games out of it and call it good.

>>10313205
I tried to play FFVII and beat Pokémon Yellow before leaving Midgar. I have never played Pokémon Yellow but it was clearly more fun. I want to try new games, but I am enjoying some classic sports games. Checking out golf games right now.

>>10314742
unironically FF7 remake had an easier time keeping my attention than the original FF7 did

>>10314404
I am playing THPS2 and don't have anyone to try it with.

>>10314724
Its Android is dicks and there's no L2 and R2 support for most native games, but you might end up needing it anyway for better OpenGL support and Vulkan at all for shaders. Stick to Linux at first until you learn the ropes, ArkOS or JELOS are your choices. There is no Android alternative, that one paywalled custom Android only works on older devices with v1 screen. Replace the SD cards, they're low quality.

>>10314763
Will do on all of those, ArkOS and JELOS are the pointers I was hoping to get, thanks. No stranger to replacing shit SD cards on these chinkhelds, for some reason they ALWAYS use bargain basement SD cards.

>>10314639
>two screens
eh, i would be happy with just one

>>10314773
Interesting design notes for this thing are that the battery cable is pretty robust, seems to be generic joycon sticks which means a Gulikit replacement is possible if for some reason I ever want to do that, and the shoulder buttons are oddly comfortable for what this is. Unlike the Miyoo devices I can hit both sets of shoulder buttons pretty comfortably with each finger.

>>10314616
I paid enough to freak out that schizo poster though, you're probably not paying 220 for rp3+ , microSD, and hdmi cord (along with a case that turned out to be too small to fit the RP3+)

>>10313169
>just pirate
>fuck data east
>fuck irem
how else can we bitch about not having access to old games after the flop because of chinese shitware?

>>10314846
No one complains about not having access to old games though.

>>10314846
if they wanted me to buy it, they shouldn't have made it look like shit. they knew they were making a product for nostalgiafags, so why does it look like modern flat design slop?

>>10314872
you can use any controller you want on the home console

as soon as irem ports dragon breed to the system im buying it

Are in game saves and save states tied to the rom name in Garlic OS?
I want to use Pokemon randomizer on a game I've already put some hours and I'll go mad if I lose my save.

>>10314935
Yes.

>>10308382
As much as vita fags want you to believe, the Vita sucks at emulation for anything past 8bit. The best GBA emulator is on the PSP and it's hacky bullshit. Some SNES games run okay, but games like DK Country need frame skip.

I’ve realized my hobby is downloading the definitive version of games, sorting and cataloguing them perfectly, and making sure they run and look great. I seldom actually play them.

>>10315029
now imagine not being poor and doing this with physical copies

>>10315032
I did that with the PS2 library. I guess I can try selling them off eventually as they’re just a waste of space.

>>10315029
I just download whatever I want to play.

It's a pain in the dick for portables, though. You've got to take out the SD card every 5 minutes. I wouldn't mind using some general pack, but nobody makes a good one with the actual definitive version of games on it. It's always the crappy burger versions.

>>10315058
If you use a chinkheld, you still can transfer by ftp, it can be long for cd based games but 1 or 2 files, it's okay

>>10315025
fud spreader

Vita has had full speed SNES forever, use the SNES9x 2005 core with speed hack on max. the other cores are just for compatibility with certain games (ex: SMRPG only runs with the 2002 core). GPSP runs all GBA games at full speed. there's even a standalone N64 emulator that works pretty well, SM64 is full speed and with tweaks Smash Bros runs full speed in game (it stutters between stages for some reason)

>>10307663
Would an everdrive cartridge work with N64 hardware like the transfer pak or super gameboy?

Looking to pick up a bluetooth controller for my RP3+. Any good deals on amazon? I was eyeing 8bitdo since it always gets shilled here, but none of them are on sale and they are expensive as fuck.

>>10314846
>how else can we bitch about not having access to old games
i have access to all the old games i want.

>>10315128
by stealing aka pretending to play

>>10315079
thats not how the transfer pak works so no
i had the "gb hunter" as a kid
but i doubt the everdrive works with it

>>10315079
it works with the supergameboy on snes
and whatever the gamecube addon is called

>>10313253
Just doing it through emudeck. I think I have the right bios... actually thinking about it the 'startup with logo but not following through to the game' might be a localisation problem. I'll play with the BIOS files, thanks for engaging my brain

>>10307663
just grabbed an RG35XX(Clurple version to be specific) off Amazon since they were having it on sale for a pretty reasonable price at the moment, which do you guys like better for the CFW on it; GarlicOS or MinUI?

>>10315295
I only tried GarlicOS because it seems to be the most mature of the two.

five days without an update…
is it over for me chinkbros……….

>>10315058
Adulthood is realizing whatever is the most convenient way to play is the definitive version.

>>10315295
I have only tried Garlic because it was sold as having a lot of customization options but it's pretty much just a launcher for retroarch. I don't really care about that because I bought it to play games. It took longer to copy the ROMs to the SD card than the entire setup of the device and performance is good, I haven't added anything to the Tiny Best Pack because it has enough hits to last you a year without dipping into lesser known titles.
I'm glad I listened to the anons ITT, we have been playing it every night.

>>10315242
>>10315243
>>10315245
>>10315248
>>10315251
ah, the front page of r/sbcgaming has arrived

>>10315295
Garlic is simple to use and just works, MinUI is supposed to be even simpler, so I passed on it.
I tried to install Koriki three times and it didn't work.
So my take is Garlic well enough for me to never bother again with another OS.

Haven't browsed in a while, any news of that RG35XX new version that was supposed to be in development?

>>10315686
no, nothing since the first rumor.

>>10315358
Is this your first time ordering anything from China? 5 days is nothing, u little bitch

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mclQ8uFJzFE

Did anyone order this one? I'm generally not a clamshell guy, but I have to admit this one looks pretty hot literally and figuratively LMAO

>>10315841
Doesn't look comfortable to hold for any period of time.

>>10315850
That's why I think whenever I see these GPD clamshells. It's like an uncomfortable handheld and uncomfortable laptop fused together and you end up getting a subpar experience for both.

>>10315841
physical keyboard is cringe

>>10315862
>T.zoomer retard

>>10315862
I don't care for GDP or their paid shills on /g/ but you should really consider putting a shotgun in your mouth.

>>10315058
Use Syncthing

>>10315850
>>10315858
Have you ever used one? It has the same form factor as a ds/3ds, and half of these chonkies that get shilled here. All I see is a bunch of coping faggots who buy 20 shit tier chonkies instead of one actual good one. I still play morrowind, fnv, halo, Deus ex, etc.. on my OG God win. Crabs in a bucket

>>10315058
>You've got to take out the SD card every 5 minutes. I wouldn't mind using some general pack, but nobody makes a good one with the actual definitive version of games on it
I made one myself before my RG35XX arrived and I'm set for years.

>>10315932
The DS doesn't have all its controls shoved up on the top.

>>10315932
Nothing else has the thumbsticks and buttons besides each other like that.

has anyone ever replaced the battery in the 35xx to not be so shit?

>>10316027
I haven't had any problems with it, maybe you got a dud? I do have the upgraded 2600 mAh version though. Looks like there's a 3D printed shell you can buy that lets you fit a 5000mAh in it, but I really feel like at at that point you're better off just buying a power brick instead to charge it on the go a couple of times.

>>10315932
I don't recall 3ds having all the buttons at the top.

>>10316064
That would be an improvement over 3DS tho? D-pad next to stick (or sl*der in 3DS's case) is dramatically better than directly below with no offset.

>>10316064
I said form factor, not button placement. I don't even know how some you can even use a computer competently. You're logic is just fucking deplorable.

>>10316091
Of*
Your*

>>10316091
Both are important. As well as size.

>>10316091
>I don't EVEN know how some you can EVEN use a computer competently.
speak english, nigger

>>10316091
If it makes you feel any better I knew what you meant and was pretty confused by the replies.

>>10316113
Because acting like form factor is the only thing that matters when it comes to comfort is ridiculous.

qrd on the last 4 months of releases?

>>10315932
Gpd xd was a bit more cofty.
Win 1 and 2 had the perfect size
Open pandora had shit build quality
V90 is a fucking meme.
V3 18s isnt bad
Retroid flop is shit and has a 2dsxl style hinge for some fucking reason.

>>10316210
No one acted like that though? He quite literally specified form factor in particular, and frankly that's the actual issue with the comfort of DSbabs could be honest about their shitty rectangles. The control layout is actually better than what the 3DS has as mentioned here >>10316069

>>10316319
Neither are ideal because you're moving your thumb too far in both cases. Both 3ds and gpd mini have to make control placement compromises in order to make room for the touchscreen/keyboard.

>>10316351
Closest thing I can think of to the GPD Mini's control scheme is the Steam Deck and that one still doesn't go quite as buttfuck stupid with it as GPD did, it's closer to a cramped Playstation controller than it is GPD's setup. 3DS at least is comfortable if you get a plastic grip for it.

>>10315884
>>10315890
It's too small to be be useful for typing or playing a game in any serious capacity, at best it'll come in handy for a few shortcuts or when tinkering, but such situational use is definitely not worth fucking over your more important controller layout.

Steam Deck does it much better : virtual keyboard for the occasional text inputs, controller remapping for games without controller support or kb only functions. For anything more serious than that, just wait till you get home and hook up an actual full size keyboard. Wasting valuable real estate on a physical keyboard is such a contrarian meme.

So I got my R35S but
I was also banned site-wide for discussing the fucking Nintendo DS in this thread only to come back to it being half Vita discussion. This place gets what it deserves.

>>10316730
the Double Shit will never be retro

>>10316730
shame on you for not playing show and tell that's the most important thing on this board

>>10316730
Vita confirmed to be retro while the Nintendo DS is NEVER EVER

>>10316730
Jesus fuck I was actually waiting for you to say what it's like before ordering my own, stop being a bitch and tell us if it's worth $40 or not

>>10316738
>>10316745
I was excited to unbox it and do a live postan of my impressions of it and then play some Sonic Adventure 2 on it, but when I went to go post the package photo I was told I was banned for fucking discussing the Nintendo DS so fuck it I just spent my time playing it instead, not gonna say whether I enjoyed it or not because fuck this place and its mod.
>>10316735
>>10316743
It's literally going to be a retro device in thirteen months. (User was banned for this post)

>>10315063
Holy that all sounds like a pain in the ass. My chinkheld just works, no fiddling with bullshit on a system that isn't designed to do what I want it to.

>>10316730
Should have waited a month to mention the forbidden letters.

>>10316730
DS was released in 2004 not 2003.

I don't understand how discussing playing retro games on a DS is any different that discussing a chinkheld that came out a month ago.

>>10316756
>this place and it's mod
All site moderators have the ability to moderate any of 4chan. You're probably thinking of the Janitor aka janny

>>10316776
/vr/ is in and of itself a completely arbitrary line in the sand and only the mod/janitor knows where the line is

>>10316776
Well it depends if anon was actually playing retro games. And it looks like a mix of both. While there was a tidbit of actual retro game discussion l, there was more of a shitfest where he was advocating for ds to be retro and how it’s dumb and we should be able to talk about ds here, blah blah blah… and while I think it’s a dumb ban, it still technically fits…. See for yourself it’s at the top

>>/vr/thread/10307663

>>10316791
It was a debate on whether the DS was sixth generation (which is retro now) or seventh generation. Nintendo released it during the sixth generation and had this whole, "Triple Threat" argument that they were going to have the GBA, GameCube, and NDS all together to cover all avenues until they saw how stupid popular the DS was and shitcanned the GBA prematurely.
Meanwhile the Indian British dude who keeps spamming, "you're just pretending to play video games" is allowed to keep shitting the place up. And proceeding my ban for discussing the DS, the thread became a discussion about the fucking VITA.

>>10316825
I also got a $15 MP5 X7 coming in the mail, it only does up to GBA/SNES but it's still the form factor I've been looking for minus its absolutely shitty sticks/sliders. Basically the form factor I've been looking for when it comes to these boxy chinkhelds, like the 2S.

>>10316835
Apparently these things come with one of a dozen random firmwares and different ones perform with different emulators differently, and there's no means to change or put CFW on them, but at $15 who am I to complain. It was cheaper than an SF2000.

>>10316776
so many threads get their posts purged the fuck out because there is so little consensus and none of us anons can really do much about it on the board. sad state of affairs.

>>10316825
Yeah I don't really think ds games should be considered retro. If we were to draw a line in the sand, it should be for when the game came out, not for when the console it was made for came out. Just because a console released 20 years ago, doesn't mean a game made for it 15 years ago should be retro

I should have ordered the fucking blue one instead of the transparent black, REEEEEEEEEEE

>>10316995
That thing is not blue nor black

>>10317000
My black one isn't here yet, this one was one that someone posted on reddit. It's the "blue" transparent Analogue Pocket, which seems to mimic Nintendo's old Midnight Blue color.

>>10316995
I wonder if they bought the Analogue shelf shell?
