So, if everona says you gotta suck cock are you gonna do it bitchboy? Yes, there's alot of retards, they up the res because "more is better" or straight up hate the "low res" native look, even if it means running a butter smooth 15fps
You're supposed to run at native res regardless, unless you downsample it

>>10357521
okay but for me? it's the white.

>>10357534
Why are so many people telling you to suck cock?

>>10357548
Pretty face, ponytail, skinny. It can't be helped

>>10357549
You sound like you probably do suck cock, so your point about not doing what people tell you isn't even applicable.

>>10357560
I do it by my own volition, even before I was told to do so, it's pretty good

>>10357534
Plenty of ps2 and gamecube games work at 1.5X and 2X, it just varies. And they absolutely look better this way, if you want to be an autistic faggot faggot, go play on original hardware

>>10357564
The horislop tranny who can't identify the color purple, reveals what everyone already knew.

>>10357519
Dreamcast only had 1 stick and 2 shoulder buttons, so you can make it so dpad=stick and L2+dpad=dpad.
The dpad either mirrored the stick, or was just items and Map and such. This means you really don't need a stick at all. The only ps1 game that needs sticks is ape Escape.

Gave my steamdeck to my little brother since he's fat enough to enjoy it. I'm sticking with this for now on because I'm on the go.

>>10357519
>>Gameforce 2 estimated ship date: Christmas or new year.
of course.

>>10357530
>tfw I ended up ordering one

>>10357519
Imagine being so poor that you can't afford a steamdeck

>>10357613
I have small hands

>>10357519
Thank you for at least attempting to make a decent general OP.

>>10357632
Get a gpd

>>10357642
That's twice the price of a deck, and half as comfortable.
You retarded?

>>10357649
Not an old version. Even the win 2 mogs any of these fucking chonkiehelds. While also being able to play PC games natively. Morrowind with mods is comfino in bed. I also use it to play adventure games, point n clicks, aren/daggerfall(glovepie script makes arena control better than k+m), dos/c64/Amiga, any of pc ports of ps2/Xbox/DC, etc...

>>10357525
GTFO of here then.

>>10357564
That what your uncle told you?

>>10357580
This thing can't play DC fighters, let alone the rest, we've tested on RGB30 (1GB, Linux) and RG353V (2GB, Android).

>>10357632
So? Women (female) play the Deck, it's fine.

>>10357519
What ever happened to the GCW Zero? I remember I wanted one because of the prospects of people developing cool games for it. People mainly got obsessed with being able to emulate on it though which I think overshadowed the original games. I'm mainly wondering why nobody has attempted something like that again but with a modern portable device like the one in OP.

>>10357521
>What if we made our current product
>But designed it for human hands?

Genius

>looks kinda neat
>struggles to run snes, gba and ps1
welp

>>10357809
Reminds me of the PGS(portable gaming solutions) and getting hyped for the gp32 after discovering its homebrew scene. It's over, you missed it, there will never be a homebrew scene like there was in the 2000s/early 2010s. Everything today is just porting over emulators and porting over clone games, there's rarely a game worth a shit made for these emulator handhelds, anymore. The gp32 has quite the interesting set of stuffs. Flesh chasmer and the Fenix runtime games are so weird and unique, plus its own original games like kimchi men, mill, her knights, little wizard, diehard infinite stairs and tomak are great. Don't get me wrong the gp32 had clone ports galore, but it was the first console of it's kind and still boasts the most ports and clones than any console, on top of the most homebrew originals.

>>10357823
revolutionary

>>10357852
>It's over, you missed it, there will never be a homebrew scene like there was in the 2000s/early 2010s
I'd argue this isn't true because Itch.io (and I guess GameJolt) are flooding with games for vintage consoles and android. I'm just surprised nobody has exploited this.

>>10357852
>>10357874
Pico 8 is the closest thing to that, and honestly it's incredibly based for giving the middle finger to hardware dependency. port the interpreter, and all the games come with it.

>>10357910
>Pico 8
this project is riduculous. people made Outrun clones and really well balanced fighting games for it.

>>10357576
>Vertislopper calling others troons
>Cucktomic burplekek
Tranny black and grey? Only decent transparent colors for handhelds

>>10357702
Why not just get the loki zero at that point?
>Morrowind
Android chinkhelds can just run openmw. Its shit, but same thing.

>>10357874
While I think the indie scene is thriving, I didn't mean consoles in general, just handheld emulation consoles. The only one I see getting a lot of games is the pico 8 and while its fucking amazing, it's not really the same thing. It actually transcends individual console homebrew scenes. And that other thing with the crank that doesbt charge it, wtf is it called!?!

>>10357995
>Android omw
You know those are buggy as hell and not maintained by the omw team? Besides having a keyboard is essential when playing PC games. I hate overlay clunky keyboard layout bullshit. Your argument is desperate and not well thought out.

>>10358045
Not arguing, just shitposting. Still dont see how a used gpd 2 is a better than the loki sero aside from the buttons and being a clamcell

>>10357702
Why the fuck would you want to play morrowind or anything like that on anything other than a mouse and keyboard

>>10358053
By virtue of it having a keyboard and HDMI out. I don't understand why you would by a handheld PC with no keyboard(I'm talking to you steaming pile of shit deck)? There's soooo many PC games that require a keyboard, a d not an o erkay touchscreen bullshit keyboard. I mean they need multiple keys on the keyboard to function, far beyond the buttons on a controller can provide.

>>10358063
It does have a keyboard though? And I can plug in a mouse if I really desired to, but the controller works great.

>>10358081
Overlay*

>>10358063
Morrowind played just fine on Xbox.

>>10357521
I want the transparent black, but I also want to have android as a back up.

Pocketgo v2 bros... Why does miyoo despise you?

>>10358516
Forgot fuckin PIC

>>10358523
fucking kek, what a way to reveal this info.

>>10358523
LMAO

So, yes, the MM+ plays NDS games now, it kind of shits the bed with games like Mario Kart but anything 2D is pretty playable

>>10358723
The newest version runs about 20% faster. I haven't tested a lot yet though

I just indi-a-go-goed me an Odin2

Feeling a bit empty now, like that feeling that hits you the minute you walk out of the brothel

>>10358762
Based, what model and color did you choose?

>>10357519
Where's retrosizer and the google spread sheet doc links? Make a pastebin in op so you just have to copypaste it for next thread.

>>10357836
what's with the kid punching that Star Platinum in the dick though

>>10358783
pro in retro grey

>>10358809
>pro in retro grey
BASED, now we wait, shouldn't take that long given their current shipment process

>>10358826
did you order one too?

>>10358851
Yes, pro and also cold grey

>>10358854
awesome
I'm hoping it will motivate me to tackle my PS2, gamecube and Dreamcast roms.

>>10357519
This looks nice for 2D games and early 3D at most. No stick hurts potential games you can play on it though.

How come companies don't do a normal stick for the left but one of those tiny little nubs for the right like what 3DS did? Or maybe even PSP? I figure that seems like a good setup. So imagine Vita left stick but nub right stick.

>>10358885
The odin2 can also do superb 3DS and switch emulation and many indies have switch ports so, it's a win-win for me

>>10359029
I feel like it is built specifically for fighting games, with the six face buttons and nice rolly d pad? That's what they showed off in videos, I don't play fight games though so idk

>>10359079
Well yeah those Sega controllers were pretty based for fighters having the six buttons accessible and the d-pad was the best in the world. Its a handheld or tablet though and people would be playing old fighters on emulation.

The device looks like a cool novelty but I won't be buying it. I got desktop for my emulation needs.

>>10359085
Yeah brother I feel u

Is there a wiki or something I can check to figure out the best one for my needs?

i'm choosing between RG405m, Retard Pocket3+ (Pocket2S seems good and also cheap but screen maybe too small?) or something of similar strength but not much more expensive than that $175-200 price point. open to PowChaddy devices. prefer Linux OS or something functional out of the box because i don't care much about fucking around with roms

>>10359085
Yeah desktop is great, I use it for ps2 and switch emulation. It's nice being able to play while at work or whenever I'm waiting somewhere, or just laying bed before sleeping, and handhelds are nice for that. I have a controller for my phone but the setup is just way clunkier than a little purpose built handheld.

>>10359146
State your needs and I will give you options. Price range, consoles you want to emulate and vertical or horizontal

>>10357910
>>10357943
Pico 8 is great if you have the spare time to figure out how to get it running on anything but a pc. RP3+ pico 8 install look it up its hilariously complicated. I want to play Low Mem Sky, but not pay 15 dollars for a homework assignment risking bricking my perfect microSD. Cant even fijnd a pico-8 app on the play store, fuckin kidding me. I'd have an easier time playing it in browser but pico-8 must not be easy to program to make a simple app or easy install. Pico 8 is so easy that its not easy? the fuck does that mean?

>>10359228
On Miyoo mini it is as simple as using any other emulator. Enable it, drop the roms into their folder, it works.

>>10359205
Whatever is best to play while you're lying in bed or sitting on the couch. I got $80 I can spend.

Why is Russ such an integer scalingslop/retroachievementslop/joystickforeverysystemslop addict

>>10357519
why wont retroid take the RP2S design, upgrade the chip and slap the hinge+top screen of the flip so i can play monster hunter through citra on it

>>10359228
use RA you mongoloid

>>10359590
There's no open version of android that supports 2 screens. It'll need to be a custom version

>>10359686
woud linux work better then ? I figured since most flagship phones can run 3ds and ps2 i could get one used and try to make somthing myself but i've seen that linux won't work on arm processors like the one in phones so I'm a bit confused

https://youtu.be/RUd7W045Sec?si=Ph64VHOqQugjWAM4

>>10359590
ayaneo flip ds is supposedly going to release at the end of the year

>>10359694
Why do that? You can emulate both screens on a phone in portrait mode. It would make sense to just put your phone in a bt controller with it in portrait mode.

>>10359724
Give me a resistive touchscreen or give me death

>>10359734
on the 3ds the top screen is 16:9 and ideally i would like it to be wider than the bottom without black bars on either one of them
i played 3ds on a phone and it's not quite right for games that need both screens, you either have a lot of unused space and unless your have a bg phone it's hard to read and not very comfortable
>>10359724
that seems interesting but ayaneo devices are too expensive for me and the device looks a bit silly with this really small bottom screen
I hope it will start a trend for chinkhelds to follow but i wont buy it
>>10359686
https://youtu.be/3lwh7EN5SxI
in this video the guy seem to use android with two screens and i've read about people using second monitors on their phones before so I wonder if it is something exclusive to some of these phones or something like that

i think the best device (for me) would just be the RP2S with the upper half of the flip and an improved chip

Will the RG353V run Pico-8 natively with Ark OS, or will I be stuck with Fake-08?

Imagine developing something like these little niggas but widescreen for the RP2S or something

>>10360105
imagine with foldable screen !

>>10359436
Buy an rg35xx or a Miyoo mini plus

>>10359436
RG35xx or Phone controller (I've had both, prefer the phone controller but the 35xx is cuter)

>>10359778
How many 3ds games actually make good use of both screens though?
Most of them have one screen for graphics, one for administrative/control stuff. I'm having a great experience with the primary screen set quite large and the admin screen set as small as is usable, in pic the bottom screen is about twice the size of my thumb and is just right for doing all the menuing.

The black space is kinda dumb but it leaves space for hotkey stuff and you stop noticing it after 2 minutes

>>10359436
the rgb30 has the best screen in that price range

>>10359205
Does anything in the $150 and under category play N64 without issues (excluding the normal issues with N64 emulation)

Been awhile since I've paid attention to the emulator handheld scene, appreciate it anon.

>>10360535
>Does anything in the $150 and under category play N64 without issues
No.
>(excluding the normal issues with N64 emulation)
Pocket 2S, 3+.

>>10360636
>No.
Ugh. Still waiting then, I guess.

>>10360643
I mean, it's GlideN64, it works. What I'm saying is ParaLLEl, more accurate N64, is too much for the chips.

>>10360645
Mostly what I'm looking for is N64 emulation where most, if not all, games are at the very least playable.

>>10360649
Yeah, then it's fine.

>>10357519
What's the chance of a odin2 with Linux that's $150 cheaper. That's endgame for me at this point.

>>10357519
>This is not a general
Correct. It's a chinkware marketing thread

>>10360889
0 for some number of years.

>>10360535
My LG Stylo 5 plays N64 smooth with no issues. I can even play hacks like mario oddysey for n64 so maybe if you have a decent phone.

>>10360649
Mupen emulators work pretty good for me.

>>10359169
Try something with a RockChip RK3588S chipset. Much improved performance for price of the RP3+.

>>10359436
Powkiddy RK2023 with $10 off promo code POWKIDDY LOVE

>>10359724
Looks like a rushed design change that no one was satisfied with. GPD has a superior layout for pretty much the same price. Would it have been so much trouble to have the screen or keyboard on a hinge above the other, so they could be interchangeable? Screen beneath keyboard for example.

>>10360978
I would also note the lack of ports on this thing. I mean, it's the price of a computer yet has almost NONE of the utility. Aya screwed the pooch on this one. And it had so much promise too when we heard they were making a clamshell.

>>10359778
The X18s had a 5.5" screen the Flips was 4.7"..
If you're wanting to emulate higher, go a bit bigger like 6 or even 7 inches.

>>10360889
Just make an Odin 2 clamshell and I'll pay fool price, kek.

>>10358723

>>10360636

bye

>>10360942
T618 is a bit better than the snap 450, so n64 should be fine for what he wants. The anbernic t6 devices are too expensive for the specs so cross that out.

Tablets and phones both have the problem of cooling. That's the advantage of purpose built devices, on the higher end at least. For snes or whatever then it doesn't matter.

Those are shit, but the asus fans are literal life savers.

>>10361426
>it's why they make this retarded shit
Companies making pointless things that are easy to market to clueless consumers to make money? No way fag.

>>10361494
This isn't some mysterious conspiracy theory. Phones overheat and throttle. Shit like the Odin 2 with a built in fan and giant vent on the back handle it much much better than a similarly specced phone. That's just a simple fact. I own an 8th Gen snapdragon phone, it throttles after 10 minutes of ps2

>>10360946
thank you for the reply.

non-potato phoneposters win these device wars everytime
however it is unfair to compare a 1400usd ipad to the $65 miyoo+

>>10359746
No. Today out inferior.

>>10359778
>>10360338
A vertical screen that's the dimensions of the 3DS screens together would also allow you to use the device for vertical arcade games without a split in the middle of the screen

>>10361212
Not a handheld.

ARE WE STILL FIGHTING?

>>10361976
No, Nvidia, I won't buy it.

Best handheld to play VNs (both old and new)?

>>10362116
UMPC.

>>10362116
Windows tablet

>>10357530
I’m not sure how to tell when mine will ship based on this.

I'm looking for something that'll play games to DS and prior. Also looking for something small and lightweight, that last hours. Would a RG35XX be perfect for this?

>>10362383
You might want to go one step up.

>>10362383
You're going to want something with a touch screen for DS games unless you're using an emulator that lets you easily hold down an L2/R2 button and use the right analog stick for touch controls. The RG35XX can't run DS games anyway, not that you would want to unless you're exclusively playing games that only use the top screen and physical buttons.
The best for DS emulation without a touch screen would be the R36S, but even though it can do everything listed minus the touch screen itself, but still isn't the best overall. Sadly the only good vertislop is the RG405V but it's fucking huge and $150. At that point you're better off getting a horizontal handheld with a touch screen that can play DS screens side by side/rotate the handheld.

>>10362383
Honestly I would just find a DS or 3DS on Aliexpress or eBay and get a flashcart. If you want to do any touch-screen heavy games at all, you will want a proper resistive touchscreen, not a capacitive glass/plastic touchscreen as we have on smartphones and tablets.

>>10362383
When you say, "and prior" does that include N64? Because the DS is easier for hardware to run than the N64 is. You might get DS games running flawlessly with enhancements but still have the N64 titles shit the bed.

>>10362418
I forgot the Retro Pixel Pocket was ever a thing. What a redundant piece of over-priced shit.

>>10362406
>>10362418
Keep in mind the R35S and R36S are identical, just the R36S model has the sticks and d-pad/face buttons in the correct spot and costs $10 more for it.

>>10362430
It's worth it to get an RG353V without having to pay Anbernic's retarded asking price for it desu

>>10362437
The R35S and R36S aren't as good as the RG353V, though. But for $60, they're far better deals.

What's the most ergonomic chink handheld?

>>10362447
SF-2000, no lie. I don't use it as much now that I have my R35S, but playing games on the SF-2000 just felt so fucking comfortable and natural. But it can only play up to SNES and GBA, don't even bother trying PS1 on it.

>>10362459
If they came out with the SF-2000, exactly as is, except added L2/R2, a second speaker, and a second stick, then let it catch up do at least DreamCast/N64 titles, it would be my ideal horizontal handheld. Sadly, the only ones like it that could be capable of it have retarded button layouts or sizes to things. The SF-2000 is just the perfect width, height, thickness, etc.

>>10362403
>>10362406
>>10362416
>>10362418
I guess I'll just softmod my 3DS for DS/3DS but if the RG35XX can't run n64 games well, what do you recommend?

>>10362467
There really is no vertical handheld that can handle N64 emulation properly so far except for the RG-405V.

>>10362470
Does the Retroid Pocket Flip count as a vertical handheld?

>>10359205
Something that can do up to ps2/gamecube, though if PS3 is doable that'd be sick too. Trying to spend under 200 if possible

>>10362475
Technically no.

>>10362462

Am I better off just getting a used Vita instead of a retro machine?

>>10362509
Ya this is exactly what I mean by retarded button layouts or sizes.

>>10362515
But you are wrong. Is the most ergonomic chinkheld yet.

>>10362470
Maybe I'll just emulate n64 on my phone or ally then...

>>10362510
Do you only plan on playing PSP, PS1, Vita, and GameBoy games?

>>10362520
I'd like to play more than that but nothing is as high quality build for the price.

>>10362462
PocketGo S30 and RG353P both came out before the SF2000, actually. They are all based on a much older handheld from 2011 called the SupaBoy

>>10362535
Designed handhelds based on game controllers isn't a revolutionary concept, but I'm glad Anbernic are recognising the importance of ergonomics.
RG353P is one of my favourite handhelds for that reason.

>>10362535
And I don't like how the screens stick out of the device, the massive recessed analog stick chambers, the sharp little round Start and Select buttons not being side by side, bottom speakers, when face buttons have the letters etched into them, etc etc. I just don't like 'em. SF-2000 feels comfier to hold.

>>10362548
This one feels more ergonomic, sadly it is obsolete by now.

I'm gonna get a RG35XX directly from Anbernic site, any coupon or site to get some?
also, I guess if I'm from Europe and I mark ship from UK it's gonna be faster than from China

>>10362771
Unironically, just order it on amazon. I've orderd the 35xx from both amazon and the official site, the site took a month and amazon took three days. And once you pay for shipping on the main site you're only saving like $10 USD at most

I bought a new 3rd party battery for my PSP 1001 and while it works fine, ever since I replaced the old one I've noticed the screen now has a bluish tint to whatever game I'm playing.
Is that because of the battery? How does that even happen? It's noticeable and annoying.

>>10362886
I'm not familiar with psp hardware, but is it possible that the new battery, or the process of installing it, but some pressure on the screen? If the old battery is still available and not totally busted, have you tried playing a game with that battery installed again?

>>10362886
Use a volt/amp meter or whatever and see if the battery is giving the proper charge. It could be not providing enough power, or providing too much power, to the device.

>>10362771
What the other guy said, order form Amazon if you aren't against using amazon, not for the speed, for the returns policy.

35xx has QC problems with the DPAD

This thing is heckin addictive

>>10362914
Yeah? post a picture of you playing it

>>10362504
That's really tough. Ps3 isn't happening. Get an odin 2 or a steam deck.

>>10362504
Your best bet in terms of sheer power is maybe an odin lite, though IMO their communication and QA is pretty bad. A good alt could be a Retroid Pocket 3+ or Pocket Flip, doesn't have 100% compatability but plays a good chunk of those libraries.

Overall though, there's no perfect option for what you're wanting in that price range. Options with enough power to do these things reliably with mass compatability are around $350+

I will say though, while not a handheld, if you wanna play these games for under $200 you can always learn console modding. An original wii and a fat PS2 would probably cost around $150 can be modded to play games off of hard drives, and since it's original hardware you're guaranteed compatability.

>>10362383
Dumbass just get a hacked 3DS

>>10358523

>>10362467
Not 100% perfect, but the Retroid Pocket 2S is good for N64. The touchscreen's a bit small to do DS split-screen, but an upside is that the system comes with a key mapper that lets you bind some buttons to screen touches.

I like to play Mario 64 DS with L2 and R2 bound to touch the camera controls on the bottom screen

>>10360903
How many years?
It seems like we've hit the peak of performance/price ratio that these things are gonna have for a while.

I can't see them getting much better than this...

Hard disagree, this year we've had the 405V, the RG35XX, and the Pocket 2S, which were all insane performance in quality for their prices. Not saying we're gonna see something that powerful that cheap by the end of the year, but we're certainly in the middle of a boom.

>>10363091
Now come the smart phone gimmicks to keep the prices up instead of just releasing newer, less expensive models that undermine the existing ones.

>>10363129
And within half a year we have even better, less expensive devices than the Miyoo Mini + and RG35XX thanks to these companies all competing with each other rather than just cloning and trying to sneak sales like the past thirty years.

>>10362932
>>10362991
Coasting on a rp3+ for a decade for exactly this, looking up killzone 2 and 3 paired with discreet GPUs and big deal CPUs and they still look like shit, no way we're going to get native ps3 games on handheld in the 200 range until we at least quadruple current tech.

Killzone you remember playing:
https://youtu.be/IP2uC1nqwvE?si=_b0VAadZoD8685nz

Mom's Killzone at home missing half the layers and SFX:

>inb4 "but I like not having everything that made it look good at fractions the res, please stop asking me why it looks like Project Snowblind in 4k"

Handheld ps3/360 is going to take a while and it sucks but there's at least SSX3, if you need 10lbs of tech and 500 watts to do ps3 while missing half the layers and VFX, its going to be a stretch at any price to put it in a handheld.

>>10362890
I'm either or insane or I did mess with the screen somehow because I tested the original battery and the picture is still giving off that bluish hue. I'm now doubting that's just how it's supposed to look in this part of the game for some reason. Even though 90% of it wasn't like this.

>>10362894
>see if the battery is giving the proper charge
The new battery is the same exact technical specifications but I'll try to do that.
...if I eventually buy a volt meter.

Thanks for the suggestions.

>>10363135
I've been very whatever about game consoles for the past decade, since they're all functionally identical, with maybe a dozen exclusives a system at most worth considering.

I think a big reason I've been really invested in these handhelds is because, for the first time since I was a kid, it feels like consoles are actually trying to compete and innovate. I actually have to do a bit of research and thinking to decide what's best for me instead of just "Well I like X, and X is only on Y, so I guess I'll buy Y"

>>10363148
Have you tried testing anything else besides that part of the game?

>>10362421
i'm waiting for them to rerelease it personally, they've confirmed a few times already they're improving it as the original run ones were absolute dog shit

the screen and aspect ratio are solid, and the gb pocket form factor is one of the best for vertislops imo

I recently just bought a refurbished 3DS having never owned one, it was supposed to have included a lot of games but it turns out they are all GBA and older games. Is there like a proper Everdrive style flash cart for 3DS? The one game I do have is Smash Bros but it tells me I need to update to play it but doesn't connect to anything to update. I want to play Metal Gear Solid 2.

>>10363204
Not really, but thankfully you don't need a special cart to load games. Follow this guide and you'll be able to install any 3DS game you want via an SD card, as well as do a bit of homebrew:

https://3ds.hacks.guide/

>>10363209
That is helpful thanks. Google was telling me I needed something like a Sky3DS+ but it didn't seem like there are any sold in the US.

>>10363234
No worries. I actually did 3DS hacking as a side hustle for a while, I'll be in this thread a while tonight so feel free to ask questions

>>10363234
Not anymore. The cfw installed will allow you to play any game on the internal sd card using luma and godmode9. Nds/dsiware games will be easily playable using the twilight ++ menu(also a bunch of other systems). If you have a n3dsxl, you can play most SNES games through injection and a few PS1 titles. Injection just means it will be on your home screen as an icon, instead of having to go into an emulator and folders, etc...

>>10363204
>I want to play Metal Gear Solid 2.
Well, you can't. Only handheld that can do that properly is a Vita. But mgs3 3d is good. It allows you to move while shooting in first person and crouch walking, only downside is slowdowns in some areas.

>>10363238
What is this FBI thing? I got my 3DS from Aliexpress because it cheaper than ebay here. They included an R4 Snoopy card but even when I take it out that FBI thing is still there.

>>10363252
Yeah that is the one. I looked it up and a loose cart is like $80, crazy rare game I guess. That and a Kirby game I saw also had like a $100 tag for loose carts.

>>10363257
haha got em

>>10363257
Oh! Good news, your 3DS was already hacked before you bought it! All you need to do is download 3DS games (as a .cia file) and use FBI to install em. hshop.erista.me has the best download selection

>>10363257
Too late, your location has already been transmitted through streetpass.

>>10363291
>>10363257
Oh, almost forgot to mention, you don't even gotta take your SD card out of the system. FBI lets you install games via QR code, which hshop provides

>>10363291
Well that is cool to know and save me a lot of time.

>>10363260
Yeah it's kinda crazy, but Nintendo metal gear is also becoming collectable by itself. Og nes mg 1/ snakes revenge, ghost Babel gbc, twin snakes ngc, mgs3 3d. Ghost Babel is crazy expensive.

>>10363257
FBI is a homebrew package installer for .CIA files.
The name FBI is a joke about the .CIA file extension. It stands for "CTR Importable Archive". Citrus is the internal code name for 3DS, shortened to CTR (and hence why the 3DS emulator is named Citra).

New gba build I did for my friend.

>>10363534
>og alpha model spice orange and miku blue buttons on white/silver
Hnnnnngggggg I still hate Nintendo for not releasing the GBA in those colours

>>10363534
>>10363559
Just missing the orange start/select rubber piece, unless that was an aesthetic choice to make it look more symmetrical since there's no buttons on the right side, just the speaker.
But the screen alignment looks perfect.

>>10363565
Like it or not, but all of these $40-50 RG353V and RGB20S clones can run DreamCast and Nintendo DS, as well as all prior consoles better or above the RG35XX and Miyoo Mini +. With the bonus of analog sticks.

>>10363625
The D-007 is probably the second worst option now available out of these recent ones from this past summer/autumn, I personally like the R36S. It does everything my RG35XX did but better, and more. Sonic Adventure 2 doesn't run perfect but better than I ever could have imagined on a handheld device. The closest I've gotten to 3D handheld Sonic was Sonic Lost World for the 3DS and that fucking sucked.

>>10363135
The cheap ones are my favorite ones honestly. I'd buy an SF2000 or PMP IV before getting an RG35XX or Miyoo Mini, Maybe not as powerful but still good enough for me. Even the Famiclones have their own special charm to them

Thanks for the help setting this up. Took over an hour to install the game. Is that the SD card speed? The 3D looks amazing on Metal Gear Solid 3.

>>10363642
3DS read/write speeds do just kinda suck but probably it was your SD card.

What did Taco Noodle mean by this?

With all this innovation, will we ever get cheap mini crt monitors to play retro games on an office desk?

Maybe that's just wishful thinking.

>>10363661

>>10363662
Very wishful, CRT televisions basically aren't made anymore.

>>10363642
>Took over an hour to install the game
Yeah it's slow but not THAT slow, you are probably using a cheap micro SD

>>10363661
A month ago, it WAS the new king. The fixed version is the new king. What's hard to comprehend? Do you want people to go back and edit the titles and description of literally every video they every make as new shit happens/comes out?

>>10363662
You might like the Sanpao Mini TV. Not literally a CRT but you can indeed play retro games on it on your office desk.

>MM+ and RG35XX
>RP3+
>Steam dick

sorry, these are the true kings in each category (vertical, horizontal, big brick)

>>10363683
Thank you for the recc.

>>10363671
It came with this one. Can the files just be copied over to a faster microSD card or would it even ve worth so to do it? It also has a bunch of games already on it. I did not know this had a SD card slot on the side. I guess they through in two microSD cards. This one and the one in the R4 thing.

>>10363716
iirc you can indeed clone the SD card or just copy all the files off to another SD card on a 3DS, relatively worth it to reduce load times on the home menu and reduce installation times on CIAs

>>10363562
I forgot about them actually lol, so I just figured the originals will still look fine. But in hindsight I would of done that imo.But no biggie.

>>10363685
Maybe back in February, grandpa

I have an RG353V. Is there any point in getting a handheld that's more powerful, like an RP3+ or a Retroid Flip, or should I just wait and see if anything actually interesting comes along in the future?

>>10363762
I mean, get a RP3+ if it can play the specific games you want to play if your RG353V can't.

>>10363762
Nah. if anything your next tier should be the steam deck imo.

Anyway to fix that weird dark shadow issue with ArkOS for N64 and DreamCast?

>>10363762
I sometimes feel the opposite, more compelled to play my MM+ than my 353V and feel like i could buy something cheaper and shittier

>>10357519
>RK3566
>no sticks
Who is this for? I thought the whole point of 3566 devices was to play PS1/N64/Dreamcast. This just seems like a waste of horsepower.

>>10363771
Same, MM+ is king. (ignoring weird noise from screen).

>>10363759
>can't name a single one better in each category

>>10363776
The RG35XX is better in every way except for the lack of Wifi and and the lack of a battery covery.

>>10363771
>>10363776
They have the same performance. What makes the MM+ tip the scales for you?

>>10363791
We literally have been.

>>10363793
The dpad is much on the MM+, also Wifi updates, plus its a bit more compact.

>>10363762
If you're wanting a power boost, I'd say go for it, sure. Though the Pocket 2S is a good bet these days, and costs about the same as a 353V.

You could do what I did before upgrading from a 353V to a 2S, ordered the 2S, played it for a week to see if I'd prefer it, then sell the 353V for like 90 bucks online to get most of my money back. Was easier for me to buy it when I considered it less "spending $150 on a new console" and more "spending $60 for an upgrade"

>>10363798
*much better dpad

>>10363801
I can understand doing this with motor vehicles when their parts become obsolete and become too expensive to replace and maintain, but the biggest scam on consumerism is convincing people to "trade in" their working electronics for "an upgrade" when they ultimately get basically the same experience. You didn't pay $60 for a $150 device. You paid $60 + $120 and got to rent the RG353V for a small while.

>>10363775

Why not just buy another phone? These things aren't as cheap as they should be.

>>10363898
....Why buy another phone and not just suggest using the one they already have?

>>10363898
and buy a gamepad for the second phone as well? and a battery bank so it doesn't die in 2 hours? or you can buy a dedicated device for the same price and have one extra thing to carry instead of 3 things. and using just a touchscreen for retro gaming is such slop that it's too sloppy even for reddit basedboys.

>>10363854
similar situation but I've wanted something that's less annoying to play PS1 (not needing to convert the ISO) and better N64. finally this thing, the Trimui Smart Pro, comes along and is a straight up Vita clone, half the price of a used Vita, with a 720p screen and the processor is good enough to do everything I want comfortably. it even has metal dome buttons. kind of worried it won't live up to the greatness of the Vita, but at the price I'm willing to take the chance.

The first Gameforce didn't seem too bad. They designed it in a creative and unrestrained way that gives it more soul. It was just one guy originally, wasn't it? Someone willing to shake things up and force progress out of the stale competition. They would have us pay more for less, but someone comes along with a cheaper way and disrupts things, and you say you need to have reassuringly expensive chinkshit.

Just bought RG35XX to play mostly PS1, installed Garlic OS and I ran into a couple of problems.
Some games have stuttering issues (Crash Team Racing, Vigilante 8, Warcraft 2 etc) and every time I boot a game it asks for playstation bios. Where do I get that?

>>10364456
Make sure to enable overlock.

Go to GarlicOS homescreen and press select till you see two "++" on top of the battery icon.

>>10364456

You fuckers still fail at basic English huh?

So for a Retroid Pocket2/3/+/S/whatever, how much of a difference in battery life do Performance and Extreme mode make compared to Balanced for the same systems? Because in theory, Extreme should only run hot on advanced systems like PS2 and GameCube, right? If I’m playing GBA or SNES on Extreme, it should be clocking down to a lower power draw anyways, right?

What folder do I put it in?

You niggas had any luck with connecting a ds/dsi to wifi? I made a hotspot from mobile data on my phone, with all correct settings(no password, 2,4ghz, good DNS address) and during connection test it goes green and connects for a few seconds (I see it in phone settings) and then red and disconnects with 52000 error code. Some people say it's ISP block from my provider - my phone unfortunately can only do it through mobile data and not with my computer wifi.

>>10364607
DS wifi services are gone.
You'll need to do a DNS change and some other shit to get it all back.

>>10364614
Nigga I know, that's why I said I used good DNS addreses(so far tried kaeru, wiimmfi and riiconnect24). Still doesn't work.

>>10364560
BIOS.
It'll automatically pick it up.

will we ever get a good linux based system that can run ps2/gamecube? should i just go for a steam deck? Even though I have an android phone, an android based handheld just sounds like shit. I love my miyoo mini + because it feels like its own console with onion. It doesn't just feel like a phone in a vidya case.

>>10364639
GarlicOS dev is working on a Linux based version for those types of systems.
But what cores are even good enough for a linux based handheld to run PS2/GC?

>>10364641
When people emulate on steam deck, are they using windows? i genuinely don't know.

>>10364639
>>10364649
the steam deck is linux based
both pcsx2 and dolphin run on Linux

>>10364649
Most of these Linux based handhelds at least for like RG35XX etc only use Retroarch and thats your lot.

>>10364653
alright i assume that you are not this guy >>10364641
you think there could be a device in ~$150-200 range that runs linux and can play pcsx2 and dolphin well?

>>10364662
I don't think PCSX2 runs on ARMs.
You'd need a fairly powerful x86 handheld like the Deck which are all over 200$.

You'd need to use AetherSX2 instead.

>>10364635
I tried, it didn't work.

>>10364662
I've been playing PS2 games on the Rg505 with Aether like >>10364678 said. I don't like Android and Aether is no longer in development, if I ever buy another handheld, Linux would be a requirement. I liked my Rg35xx better because GarlicOS is a tailored OS for that specific handheld. Unlocking the bootloader and installing LineageOS isn't the worst, but you can easily do it wrong and end up having to do it twice.

>>10364681
You probably still have to switch to using that BIOS in the retroarch menu, it's in the same folder but it doesn't automatically select the bios you want to use. It should have the one you were using as a default, and you should be able to change that in the menu for that core or console. I don't have the RG35XX anymore, but RA should be on the right on your main menu, go through the menus for RA through there.

>>10364456
Enable Threaded Video on the retroarch video options and save. That will fix the stuttering issue.

>>10363661
Click-baity title is standard for YouTube now, but he goes on to explain the R35S got taken down by copyright claims because of the board used.

>>10364639
the problem with linux devices is that they need a x86 architecture to be powerful which takes a lot more space than the arm chips found in smartphones, so usually when companies makes a handheld with phone parts wich are both smaller and more battery efficient than the x86 computer parts, they put android on it because it's their only option than doesn't really fucks performance
while all this is true, there is hope that more compatibility for linux comes to arm chip (there is also a program called box86 that enable x86 program emulation on android devices and linux arm devices, with promising looking perrformance) making this post obsolete in a few years, and for the time being android is heavily customizable so you can get it looking like a game console by using a frontend or just having custom icons and shortcuts

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sDV2PkXJo-A
Looks like they changed the transparent black to use the Saturn color face buttons.

>>10364341
For me it's been easy to find working ones. They usually just need a good cleaning.

>>10365092
I wish they would do the same for the solid black one. I know it's not accurate to the original black Saturn controllers, but who cares?

>>10365184
Pretty sure that one is supposed to represent JP Megadrive. Some people seem to think the design is supposed to be 100% Saturn, but the general shape is more like the 3-button Megadrive controller, ovals around controls are from the 6-button Megadrive controller, more angular and smaller center d-pad shape is from the 6-button Megadrive controller, and blue Start is from both JP Megadrive controllers.

I'm going for the white Saturn option, but I do think it's nice to have a Megadrive colorway and think it looks slick.

>>10365092
I'm reasonably interested in an RG ARC-D, but on the condition it gets proper Linux custom firmware support.

>>10365474
With any luck, we'll get someone like Unofficial JELOS or w/e to tweak a couple things on the 353 release to get it working here.

>>10365483
Given that it's another RK3566 device like the RG353P, I don't think it would be too hard to support.
I think it'd be a case of defining a quirks configuration for it?
It's added maintenance time and cost for a volunteer group anyway, we shouldn't have to be entitled to a CFW from the community to make Anbernic's devices good.

>>10365493
Yeah, there's a decent chance it'll work out of the box honestly. It shouldn't be that hard for someone to modify the images to have them work here if not.

>>10365498
Without quirks, the button mapping is likely going to be all kinds of weird.
RG ARC-D has no analogue sticks and has six face buttons. The majority of these devices have 4 face buttons (not including option/function keys).

Does the rg353 still struggles with N64 on retroarch or did the emulators improve somehow?

WHERE ARE THE USER REVIEWS, ANBERNIC??

>>10365781
>>10365781
What the hell is that grey one, is it an RG-300?

>>10365795
The one thing I like about Anbernic is that they do start regularly discounting their devices that stop selling. The RG35XX is their most popular device ever.

>>10365781
Yeah, the chip sucks.

I sold my RG353PS. Retroid Pocket 2S is my only emulation handheld now.

>>10365813
Don't you miss the ergonomics?

>>10365813
>Retroid Pocket 2S is my only emulation handheld now
Same. Except now the RG Arc is tempting me since I always wanted a 6 button horizontal chinkheld. Just worried that it won't be as pocketable as the 2S.

>>10365815
A little bit, but literally everything except ergonomics is better on RP2S.

what's the best handheld for ps1?

>>10365827

>>10365842
Just about any chip runs PCSX ReARMed, T610/8 would be preferable if you need Duckstation for shit like instant CD seeking (Digimon World 2). Might want to consider ones with stacked shoulder buttons.

I want it so bad, bros. That GBP Ice Blue colour and everything, hhhnnnnnggggg.

I'm still mad.

>>10365842
PSX is pretty easy, anything will run it well as long as it's not outright bootleg "Super game family 500 in one" shit.

What's more important is finding something with a good form factor. Sticks aren't too important since IIRC the only game that REQUIRES stick control is Ape Escape, but you're def gonna want something with stacked shoulder buttons. I've tried PS1 with lined up shoulders, and it's a nightmare.

Anbernic's 353PS may be your best bet. There's cheaper devices that can run PS1 fine, but non I'm aware of with dual sticks, stacked shoulders, and not awful build quality.

>>10365891
It was almost there, Powkiddy just got lazy right at the finish line and didn't fix the sticks.

>>10365891
Found myself undusting mine yesterday, such a waste.

>>10365868
>>10365908
thanks. i've been wanting a portable just so i can play somewhere other than in front of my computer. i might get the 353ps

>>10365946
It's worth noting, PSX is about where it stops, so if you want N64 or something like that you may want other options. But if you just want PSX and below, can't go wrong.

Only downside is some anbernic devices have over-sensitive d-pads, though this can be cleanly fixed with the "tape trick".

>>10365946
Personally I'd go with the Pocket 2S, few more bucks for a lot more performance (DC, N64, PSP) and stuff like hall sticks and analog triggers. That and I hate the d-pad on the 353V with a burning passion, which I've been told is the same as the 353PS's.

>purchase miyoo mini on amazon
>claims overnight prime delivery

while I wait for my refund, what else can I order that's actually in stock? obvious answer is the RG35XX but I don't feel like waiting a week

>>10365946
So the pros and cons between the 353PS and the Pocket 2S IMO is that the 2S is clearly more powerful and isn't much more expensive, but a linux-based device (like the 353 series) is incredibly easy to set up and use.

The way I see it, if you're willing to spend more time setting up and configuring, absolutely go with the 2S, but if you want something dummy easy to set up, go with a 353PS

>>10366010
>but if you want something dummy easy to set up, go with a 353PS
Well, kinda. With the 353PS you're dealing with RK3566 retardation where the battery percentage is mostly guesswork and there's very little power management to speak of, so no real idling or sleeping. OpenGL support is dire too so while your games will emulate fine, shaders working is a coin flip, for instance the DMG and GBP shaders don't display properly.

>>10365982
Wait one day and then tell Amazon it never showed, you will gwt your money back.

>STILL no DS-focused handheld
The RGB30 was on the right track, but then they cheaped out and didn’t give you a touchscreen, so most of the library is unplayable

>>10366050
Just get a ds lite or dsi with a flashcard.

>>10366050
The RGB30 has been getting a lot of positive buzz so I wouldn't be surprised if Powkiddy was cooking up an enhanced version.

>>10366080
This. Wtf, a n3dsxl plays a lot of stuff and a Japanese one is affordable.

>>10366026
Here, to illustrate the issue.

>>10366139
That's a real shame, that'd be amazing to have that shader working correctly on an RK3566 system.

>>10366150
Yeah, here's hoping the mainline kernel migration for JELOS improves OGL, the RGB30's screen is just begging for this shader.

>>10358723
I really like this thing but it's so fucking small. I can't really play most games on the RP3+ without my hands cramping up; I can't imagine playing games on this thing.

>>10366026
Please tell me that isn't a bezel that adds a fucking half DMG /AND???/ black bars on THREE sides? They couldn't fucking scale it so 70% of the screen isn't wasted?

>>10366230
It scales on integer steps.

>>10366139
I do wonder why Linux doesn't do well with Vulkan? Which Distro(s) has the least issues with it, overall?
>>10365891
Maybe there will be an X29 and X30?

>>10363854
The vita can't play PS1 and PSP games at high-res.

>>10365842
I played FF7 and GT2 on the RG35XX just fine if you want a vertical one to put in your pocket. If you don't want to put it in your pocket, sky is the limit, look at the chip itself to know which generation you can emulate up to.

Are the Win600 and Loki Zero the only budget priced PC handhelds we're going to get? Really wish there were more options under the Steam Deck's price for PC handhelds.

>>10366482
The fact that no one ever did anything with the Mendocino is infuriating. Or maybe Aya Neo did but sold it for like $500, I can't remember.

It's that hardware fully realized

There was the Loki Mini Pro but lol discontinued.

I got into a spat with some Ayn fangirl (male) for saying I was worried it would get axed. He kept insisting it's 100% happening and I that I'm a retard for even suggesting that at this stage. Well, who's laughing now you queer? Not me, but I was still right so fuck you.

>can't find the sd slot
>nowhere on the wiki does it say where it is
>want to get really irate but know it won't end well

To be fair I'm sick at the moment but holy fuck that was retarded.

>>10365880
I wanted to do a better job of photoshopping what it is gonna look like despite their secrecy.
Who cares if anyone tries to copy them? They're already specifically trying to make a copy of the RG Nano that's, you know, not retarded. They even went out of their way to properly copy the colours Anbernic failed to with the Nano.

>>10358723
By the time you guys get a handheld that does everything well, like dual screen, dual analog, etc... you'll have bought enough chonkiehelds to pay for a psp, GBA sp, ps Vita, DS lite, n3dsxl, game gear, Atari lynx and a turbografx express... plus flash carts for all of them. What's your end goal?

>>10366575
>What's your end goal?

>>10366575
NTA but the thrill of the hunt is part of it. I don't buy handhelds to collect them, but I do collect pens. Every pen has something cool about it, but I still end up thinking "well, I don't have any pens that do such-and-such" and buying another one.

>>10366404
RK3566 has no Vulkan at all running either of the Linux, no idea why.

>>10366575
I don't want to cure cancer play dual screen, I just want to turn people into dinosaurs play Sonic Adventure 2 on smaller but higher resolution, comfortable but pocketable devices

Where's the hand-held rec guide????

>>10366608
Tranny jannies banned a direct link to the Google Document, and nobody can figure out fucking why

>>10366553
don't worry anon, everyone is special in their own way.

>>10366581
That's not a good analogy. There handhelds/consoles that play those games natively. If you bought pens that were poorly modeled after other pens, and then you just kept on buying subpar knockoff pens, knowing you could actually buy a nice pen, then sure that's a fair analogy.

>>10366608
changes too fast. tiers don't indicate quality, just power. except sf2000 it is trash quality and trash power, but if your mom only gave you $20 its good.
trash tier: sf2000
low tier: miyoo mini plus or 35xx
mid tier: rp2s or rg353 or rgb30
top tier: rp3+ or rg405
god tier: odin 2 or steam deck

>>10366608
This "general" is ran by midwits. The last thread was literally just "uhhhhhh handheld topic" as the op post. everybody here is stupid as fuck you've been warned

>>10366641
I know I'm being really autistic here, but I think the 2S should be on the low end of top tier. It's a LOT closer power-wise to the T618 than the RK3566 at least.

>>10366641
2S easily has one of the shittiest designs, makes sense you would hate on the SF-2000 so much. Are you the guy who ended up paying $180 USD for his 2S... + tip?

>>10366649
yeah i agree, i almost put it in its own category because it competes on price with those systems but is a decent bit more powerful

>>10366649
No, you're right, I love the RGB30's screen but it definitely should be low-mid, the 353 too for not being great value.

>>10366641
>low tier: miyoo mini plus or 35xx
These haven't been the $50 kings in three or four months, grandpa

>>10366660
yeah that should be included in low tier. It isn't a lot more powerful where it can play more systems, but it has sticks for ps1. worse build quality compared to mm+ and i think 35xx. If that's the form factor I wanted, I would go 353vs though.

>>10366653
if you want the sf2000 form factor without the trash performance and build quality, go with 353s

>>10366653
It's fine, even if you're highly autistic about slabs it more than makes up for it in features. Also, while I can't personally confirm this, I've heard the transparent cases have a grippier finish than the solid color ones. My transparent black is not slippery, at least.

>>10366669
shit i meant 353p

>>10366653
It feels fine, you probably haven't even held one.

>>10366664
>It isn't a lot more powerful where it can play more systems
You absolutely lying piece of shit. MM+/35XX can do PS1/mild DS while the R35S/R36S can do DreamCast, PSP, and N64 for the same price. Only issue is the R35S was discontinued due to a lawsuit with cloning the PCB.

>>10366674
>It's fine
Reminds me of this post

MY TIME TO SHINE?
For $15 maple leafs, I like how it feels except for the shitty clone PSP slider stick. It plays as much as the SF-2000 does.

>>10357519
Is input latency still a thing on Android? I don't really keep up with Android, but I from what I remember emulators have few frames of extra latency because apps run a VM or something weird like that. I had a Shield TV and emulators definitely didn't feel right.

>>10366750
Mobile providers, like Samsung, do that. Android on its own will only run what it is told to run.
Linux just does it more efficiently.

>>10366414
Some games have a hi-res patch like GTA: Vice City stories.

>>10366720
Actually trying this again after originally using it for only twenty minutes, it sucks compared to the SF-2000. It's only preloaded with GB, GBC, GBA, NES, and SNES, and it runs SNES and GBA like total ass. Best I had was playing Rayman Advance, which ran okay. Interface is total early 2000s java cell phone shit and the Konami Krazy Racers ROM on the device is just a third mislabeled Metal Slug Advance rom.

>>10366641
Daily reminder that sheer power doesn't make something a better handheld. There's several situations I'd take a Miyoo or 35XX over a Steam Deck.

There's no "best" handheld, there's only best for your needs, and everyones needs are different

>>10366026
just use a different shader or alter that one so it displays properly

>>10366813
thats why I specified what the tiers are for. you could do different tiers based on different aspects like comfortability, build quality, community etc

>>10366818
I'm sure if it was that simple, someone would have done it already.

>>10366786
the sf 2000 cannot run gba / snes either, lags out the fuck

>>10366707
Enjoy your soon to be discontinued device.

>>10366707
>n64
>dreamcast
i guess if you don't mind playing at 10fps?

>>10366641
Man imagine some sort of infographic for this, nah that'd be terrible, we'll just hope you're here to list this every single time.

Just get the steam deck white boys trust me.

>>10366579
I emailed Powkiddy about ODT asking if it was an inadvertent leak. They asked me where I saw it so I directed them here. They seemed curious about it.

>>10366641
there's at least seven tiers. The first Odin and RK 3588s chips are above your "top tier" and GPD devices are more capable than the Steam Deck, at least until Gabe's Deck 2.

>>10366850
then make one retard

>>10366709
>60% purple
>40% pink

>>10357525
We won. Cope.

>>10357613
Imagine being so poor you don't own a deck for at home and multiple other devices of varying size and use case for other times and places.

>>10366575
Those systems are all old, dirty, and in need of modding and maintenence to be remotely enjoyable. They will also eventually die whereas emulation will live forever and new emu devices will never stop being made. On top of that there's like one person on the entire planet making decent flash carts. When Krikz dies old systems will pretty much be worthless.

>>10366707
LOL

>>10366827
its literaly displaying just a handful of shades of a single color and slapping a dot grid png on top. its ridiculous to think this is something that a 3566 just cant do.

>>10366658
>the 353 too for not being great value.
prior to the RP2S and RGB30 coming out I'd say the 353 series was probably the best choice of the 100 to 130 dollar range devices but yeah the RP2S is vastly more powerful(though using Android) while the RGB30 is about equal in power for cheaper and also has its unique screen, about the only major advantage the 353 series has these days is with the models that can dual boot into both Linux and Android which is admittedly more of a novelty than anything especially practical

>>10357519
Should I get the RG353M or RG353P?

>>10367025
>RG353M or RG353P
same specs, whatever form factor you like more

>>10367031
I'm torn. I like both. I might even buy both eventually. I know they're dated now but I like their layout and design more than Retroid or Powkiddy and only really want to play up to PSX anyway.

>>10367032
if you only want psx you might look at 353ps. it runs linux which is great for psx and will have a better ux

How bad is the Powkiddy X18s compared to the Retroid Flip?
I know the latter has better performance but the speakers are terrible and the overall design is bad.
I want a clamshell console, I was waiting for the Miyoo Flip but
