THE MIYOO MINI FLIP, THE MIYOO MINI FLIP IS RRRREEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLL

>>10370443
That's too bad, I was playing my brick game earlier today

>>10370475
WHEN IS IT COMING

Zhou is still high on the Sega layout.

I'M SICK AND TIRED OF THE FUCKING RK3566

When are chinks gonna make another handheld that looks as pretty as the Miyoo Mini+? Everything else looks like crap compared to it.

>>10370443
>those analog stick placements
Do they ever actually try using these things before they manufacture them? Or do they just throw them on anywhere there's space so they can say it supports analog control and move on?

>>10370561
There was conflict within employees whether the flip should have sticks or not. One side thinks its stupid and the other thinks it reviewers wouldn't like it without them.

>>10370573
So yeah, they just put them on to check a box, even though nobody would actually use them. It feels like half the handhelds that get posted in these e-waste threads were never actually designed to be held by human hands, just shown off in highly produced youtube videos next to spec sheets.

Anyone know if the RP2S can play DC and PSP? An Anon mentioned playing MP PSO and Monster Hunter on their RP3+ and it appeals to me something fierce, especially now with the sale happening.

playing a kirby game for the first time in my life
pretty fun but the slight delay on animations is a little annoying, though i guess it would be too easy without it

20 years later I still want it.

>>10370592
Yes, it can. PSP just doesn't look the best on a tiny 4:3 screen but it runs fine.

>>10370592
16:9 psp on that tiny display would be horrible

>>10370556
What? This looks like ass.

>>10370573
That's dumb, just look at the RGB30 becoming the reviewer's darling for being unique.

>>10370592
Yeah. Forget PSP on that screen however.

>>10370601
>What? This looks like ass.
Even though you picked the worst color, you're still wrong.

>>10370443
Thanks for the ugly OP retard.

>>10370416
Just watched the review, it looks like yet another missed opportunity. Some things are great, other things (screen too big, sticks don't have enough room) horrible, if only they fixed some of the issues before releasing.
On the other hand, it looks cheap and ergonomic. I was thinking about acquiring the RG353P, but this might be a better option. And maybe CFW may squeeze the CPU. What do you think?

>>10370612
Also, another review https://youtu.be/WtJjzU5HKaw

>>10370506
I feel like that was done more so to keep the Gameboy Advance-style placement of A and B buttons, seeing as it's a design strongly inspired by the SP.

>>10370595
I remember when the fake renders were going around calling it the Game Boy Evolution.

>>10370545
Good thing my chinkheld has the superior T610.

>>10370598
DC games look and play amazing on the other hand. Analog triggers are great for racing games and because 640x480 is Dreamcast's native resolution you don't even need to use the paid version of ReDream to get better image quality.

>>10370467
d1200 is too power-hungry for a smaller, fanless device
they would have to make rp4 bigger, heavier and give it active cooling, which could cannibalize the sales of odin
ayn and retroid are just two brands owned by the same company

>>10370646
Whats the performance on the d900?

>>10370606
i agree, the miyoo duo are the most aesthetic for vertislops
the rg35xx looks great on the front for the balance of screen and portion to hold on the bottom half for inputs in addition to the thin screen bezel, but the absolute catastrophe the back is with the l1/l2 and r1/r2 and the retard guard means it's instantly disqualified

plus the miyoos look kinda cute with the disproportionate screen

>>10370443
Do Anbernic devices go on sale on the Amazon storefront for shit like 11/11 or only the official site?

>>10370698
NTA but from my experience with the Odin Lite it's a pretty fine chip for "budget" mid-tier devices. You will want to use the higher performance modes when available for more demanding systems like the PS2 and GC, and it is worth mentioning that its a chipset that will benefit from the use of fans. But its capable of 1.5x/2x resolution with some GC games provided you use Dolphin's MMJR build, and so far I can get full speed with some games likes like Maximo and Fatal Frame 1 on AetherSX2. And while it really veers more on non-retro, I got 3-4x resolution with Silent Hill Origins and Wipeout PSP. It's a capable little chipset.

RGB30’s on sale on Ali for $60. Is it worth it if I’m only interested in Pokemon Crystal romhacks? I have an RP2S already, but I’ve kind of given up on the whole “all-in-1 handheld” thing by now, so I’m fine having a specialized handheld. I just don’t trust Piece-o-shitty button quality, is all.

>>10371131
Where on aliexpress?
I dont see the same deals.

>>10371143
Works on my machine

>>10371131
>I want to overpay for a 1:1 aspect ratio screen device just to play fucking GBA romhacks
>Is it worth it?
Absolutely fucking not, why would you even ask?

>>10371189

>>10371189
Not even GBA. GBC. Kek.

>>10370443
a bit old but funnyplaying are working on fpga gbc boards that fit in the original shells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NHHCYpsuCyg

>>10371189
>$60 is “overpaying”
That’s the same price as the Miyoo Mini+, and people call that the king of budget handhelds

ARE WE STILL FIGHTING??

>>10371224
Because you get them for playing up to PS1, not GBC

>>10371253
YES

>>10371131
Yeah, fair price.

>>10371282
RK3566, as much as it sucks, trounces the Mini's chip.

>RGB30, unique 4 inch vertical device
>RG Arc, unique 6 button Saturn inspired device
>Miyoo Flip, unique clamshell device
>all RK3566
I HATE THIS CHIP I HATE THIS CHIP I HATE THIS CHIP I HATE THIS CHIP I HATE THIS CHIP I HATE THIS CHIP

>>10371306
why

>>10371306
Eh, it's not that bad. It can even do less demanding Dreamcast games quite well. I beat Rayman 2 DC version on my RG353PS back when I still had it and I can't think of a single time I experienced slowdowns. Retroid Pocket 2S with its T610 mogs it but it seems to have forced chinkheld manufacturers to sell that shit at $60 instead of $90 or $100 like they used to, which I say is a welcome development.

Wait, what's the better deal? The RK3566 or the RK3326? I mean, the 3566 is obviously stronger but you get like a 15% performance increase for almost twice the fucking price or 3326 devices.

>>10371297
The extra power doesnt mean anything if you dont plan on using it.

Does anyone here know if there is a real difference between the SuperVisions or it's just cosmetic?

>>10371331
Which RK3326 device is below $50?

>>10371346
...All of them?

>>10371343
Yes, four separate buttons for directions instead of a proper d-pad that's just one, solid piece of plastic is purely a cosmetic difference.

>>10371360
The cheapest RK3326 device is R35S and it costs $50. Show some examples if you think otherwise.

deck

>>10371306
I don't think the people excited for the Arc understand how much of a monkey paw it is. You finally get a Sega style handheld with no sticks and it's:

Severely underpowered, can't handle DC fighters, very little Saturn.
D-pad might end up a disaster, and if it does, sales will tank meaning no follow up with real chip.
Might be overpriced because Anbernic, sells poorly, chinks take it as no demand.

Or they're all just shills, IDK.

>>10371318
>>10371325
Yeah, it is. Can't even get reliable battery readings, sucks at the advertised systems.

>>10371131
Oh yeah, just so you know: >>10366139
Soured me a little, but I went in knowing that. Otherwise it was a pleasant surprise, buttons not as bad as expected, great little big screen. Just don't ever let it run out of juice completely because it screws with the battery memory and you'll have to open it and unplug it for 10s.

>>10371371
Mine was $52 Canadian, free shipping

I don't know what's fucking worse on DSlites, the fucking ghosting or the grid for the touch screen sensors being so visible.

>>10371394
There are like four different screens you can potentially have in your DSlite model, the original ones having the dimmer screens that were yellow out of the fucking box. Second generation ones had brighter screens but severe ghosting, like the black and red Brain Age 2 bundle one.

>>10371381
>Can't even get reliable battery readings
That sounds like a problem with a specific chinkheld and not a problem with the chip in general, I never experienced this on my RG353PS.
>sucks at the advertised systems.
Which games did you have trouble with? IMO bad performance on that chip often has to do with bad quality of ARM Linux emulators rather than raw power deficit, at least that's how I explain N64 games running worse than Dreamcast.

>>10371386
Temu?

>>10371398
Don't forger that bottom and upper screens could be from different revisions as well :)

>>10371209
It's cool and all, but what's the point?

"I modded my GBC to natively run GBC games"

>>10371408
Aliexpress.

>>10371432
The point is that we have something to fall back on for fixing existing units once all original GBC boards die.

>>10371464
Okay I think it was just a warehouse liquidation sale, since it's normally $55 and they've sold out.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006134362014.html

>>10371474
Wait my bad, that's the R36S which costs $10 than the R35S did just to put the sticks in the right place and to add a removable battery cover. But for $55 it's better than either the Miyoo Mini + or RG35XX at least.

>>10371474
Another seller apparently hit a shop selling those with copyright infringement (lol) so there's a chance they wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible in fear they might be next.

>>10371480
I mean, even with those prices $60 RGB30 is nowhere near twice the price of $44 R35S like you implied a few posts ago.

>>10371470
But by that time, wouldn't all original carts also be dead?

>>10371496
No, I claimed The RK3566 devices are almost twice the price of RK3326 ones. Which most are. Stop being disingenuous.

If the X5 and X6 were just slightly cheaper I would probably by myself one. I might still buy myself a PMP IV at some point though

>>10371512
The X5 and X6 are truly shit, though. All of the Game Box X# handhelds are. Even the X7 and X12. They all use this shitty early 2000s cell phone Java like OS that can't be changed.

>>10371510
Yes, most RK3566 handhelds are more expensive than $60 but the same can be said about RK3326 devices being more expensive than $44. Just look at the prices of RG351P or RG351V.

>>10371512
>>10371519
The X5, X6, X7, X7+, X12, and X12+ are all from the Sup Boy. This was their last Sup Boy before going solo with the Gamebox X5. It's as cheap as cheap can fucking get.

>>10370443
Miyoo flip will have l2/r2. Seems like miyoo will shill ps1 the most on that thing. Anbernig clamshell will probably have the same chip as the 35xx.
>>10371512
That shit is somehow sub sf2000 tier
>>10371530
>Sup
Are those the same guys behind the sup m3? At least that uses pocketho internals

>>10371480

LOL
LMAO

>>10371548
Somebody's distressed.

>>10371343
the big ones have bendable screens with kickstands. only one with different internals was the magnum

>>10371548
Miyoo Mini Plus is the weakest and most expensive out of the three, but you get what you pay for.

>>10371548
well, in terms of raw specs it is

>>10370612
>>10370629
>suddenly cares about about diagonals being hard to hit after all the contra test memeing
Okay this is epic. I'm pretty sure this feels 99% the same as the RP3/+/2S d-pad, and as good as that one is, overly hard to hit diagonals were always my biggest issue with it. I always felt he was reluctant to admit to the flaw.

>>10371634
didn't mean to quote the t*ki vid.

>>10371381
You don't understand how desperate I've been for this control scheme. This chip sucks but I want to believe in Brother Zhou just this once.

>>10371891
Yeaaah, true.

>>10371891
>>10371893
I'm sick of handhelds slapping sticks on everything. It's aesthetic suicide and the sticks always have awful placement.

>>10371634
Yeah but they get paid to do the Retroid reviews, so no shit they give it a lot more leniency like showing the Gamecube emulation with the PAL version of Wind Waker and as many speedhacks as possible

>>10371209
>Is that a perfectly good Game Boy Color?
>LET'S SHOVE AN FPGA INTO IT YEAAAAAHHHHHHH

>>10371897
The Anbernic one doesn't have sticks.

>>10370698
>>10370646
The RK3588S is superior to the Odin lite by 2 stages and can be bought now for $170 in the Gameforce Ace.

>>10371912
It's hard to find info on it, have any pics?

>>10371756
More like why are the buttons and sticks so small? Even DS buttons aren't that small.

>>10371558
Sorry if my laughter hurt your feelings.

>>10371572
>>10371615
Doesn't matter if the layout and build quality are trash. If specs were all that mattered we'd all be playing on our smart phones instead.

>>10371921
It's in the OP. The one of the left is Anbernic's concept, the one on the right is the Miyoo's.

>>10371913
I wouldn't count your chickens before they hatch. Wait for the Gameforce Ace reviews before calling it a worthwhile purchase.

>>10371897
>aaaaugh muh aesthetics
Who the fuck cares what it looks like as long as it's ergonomic?

>>10371928
I own an RG35XX and R35S, I exclusively use the latter now until my R36S arrives next week.

>>10371756
It's like when a band on TV is told to mime playing their instruments to a backing track, and they just start fucking around.

>>10371934
The controls might be terrible, but there's no denying that the chip is a mid price level tank, Especially with the right firmware.
Could be looking at perfect PS2 for well under 200.
If the mid price handheld market moves up to compete. It won't even matter about Gameforce. Their job will have been done. Gotta look farther than barely under $200 Odin performance, We can do better than that.

>>10371934
Yeah, when it reaches them it'll be retail price of $219. Still, given the only other handheld with the same chip is $400+(TJD T80). it still is very tempting to believe we could be seeing a leap in performance for price.

>>10371910
At most all you have to do to a GBC to make it "up to date" is a rechargable battery pack and an IPS mod, and after that you'd have literally the most accurate GBC gameplay possible. FPGA emu is just the new snake oil to sell to purists who're willing to spend three digits on a console hat already has 100% flawless emulation with no input delay, and no actual quantifiable differences from real hardware outside of vague notions of "it just feels so much better"

FPGA only stands to actually be useful if we reach a point where you can FPGA a console that doesn't emulate perfectly, like gamecube and above, but the tech is always a few generations behind emulation so it's unlikely that's gonna happen anytime soon. The only FPGA hardware that actually seems useful is that N64 Analogue is making, but considering they charge $250 for a console that maxes out at GBA, I'm dreading the pricetag an FPGA N64 is gonna have.

>>10371670
shit is so ugly, strong salt from me that the p60 got scrapped

>>10371883
Its great as long as your expectations are solid. Great for GBA and Neogeo. 99% SNES games, some playstation 1 games. Basically a chill advance wars 1 & 2 device.

I know everyone wants a two screened deck e to play DS/3DS games (and I'm among them) but one thing I'm wondering is how would that be handled from an OS perspective?

I mean, every emulator ATM is made with a single screen in mind, so how would you force it to properly put top screen on top, bottom on bottom, with no bugginess?

>>10372193
device*, fuckin mobile

>>10371343
that dpad looks uncomfortable as fuck, some chinese autist designed this while tripping on LSD.

>>10372026
The new "budget" OrangePi Neo-ARM has the same chip for it's estimated $215. So Smooth PS2. For the non x86, 'useable outside' handheld. That's endgame. If it were clamshell it would suit nearly all needs. I mean, who wants to take a GPD/ROG/ Deck 2 or whatever outside? Where It will invariably get damaged or stolen. This power level is near enough to Odin 2 and not $300. The new standard you at least deserve.

>>10372229
It's a twinkle in your Nintendaddie's japseye, but I suspect someone will hack it inevitably.

>>10372236
ah, so it uses a custom OS then, that explains it. desu if it requires hacks to use it I think I'd just as soon use a modded 3DS.

for me, these devices are for the more clean experience as much as the power, so if I gotta do hacky stuff it doesn't feel like a big upgrade to me

Why don't you own one for retro games

>>10372259
actually had one for a bit. it's a fine system but far too big to actually take out of the house unless you have a backpack or something with you, and if I wanted to play games at home I don't need a handheld to do it

I "upgraded" to a 353V because it actually fit in my pocket, since moved on to the Pocket 2S and couldn't be happier

>>10372259

>>10372535
first time? kek

>>10371940
Because I want to feel like I'm playing original hardware but with modern technologies (bluetooth, android/Linux, lit screen, etc). I have a retro PC made to look old and feel old but with the freedom of modern Linux. The feeling of when everything feels like how you remembered is surreal, it's like a time machine.

>>10372193
>I know everyone wants a two screened deck e to play DS/3DS games
I don't because I own a 3DS and you should too. Original hardware is always superior to emulation. Chinkhelds are mainly for playing games that only ever came out on home consoles on the go.

>>10371432
I guess a more convenient method to modding, instead of doing usb c mod, lion mod, lcd mod you get it all done in one go, would be cool if they added a gba core playing gba on the gbc formfactor would be comfy

>>10371394
get a dsi or dsixl theyre peak comfy

>>10372657
Are you using one of those capture cards or just emulating on a CRT?

>>10372045
>At most all you have to do to a GBC to make it "up to date" is a rechargable battery pack and an IPS mod
this has those built in though i assume it will be cheaper than doing the mods seperately, also this supports link cable with the original port which none of the emulation consoles do , they should have added onboard sd card for rom loading though like with the digiretroboy/revo k101. i use a digiretro boy for sending pokemon from event cart dumps to my actual gba

>>10372535
jannies dont like new non chink handhelds
>>10372662
https://rhotronix.com/products/ndstv-v3-45 the ndstv adds composite out to a dslite its pretty cool, there are cheaper ways to get composite but this is the most compact version that fully fits inside the console.

Its been done using only some resistors https://twitter.com/Nitehack/status/1412457678912249872

>>10372670
Not bad, from that pic I wouldn't have guessed that was composite.

>>10372672
yeah its nice, composite is really hit or miss it looks like complete shit on my snes but on her and my famicom it looks pretty good. The cool thing about the mod is that the dslite has stuff hidden in the firmware that allows you to do several different picture in picture mods so you can get the bottom screen on there like in the corner or also swap between the top/bottom screen you need to flash a modified firmware that lets you use the feature, thats what the extra buttons are for on the diy version theres pads on thee dslite board specifically for controlling those.

I'm reconsidering this again. Anyone with one can tell me how does it emulate N64/DS games? How is the state of CFW nowadays? Also, do newer models suffer from that audio/sleep bug?

>>10372710
>Anyone with one can tell me how does it emulate N64/DS games?
IMO playing DS games on RG353PS is strictly for masochists because it doesn't have touchscreen. N64 is pretty bad too, the emulators for Linux are bad and break some popular games like Rayman 2, not to mention the performance is worse than Draemcast. I'd recommend Retroid Pocket 2S instead, Android has access to better quality emulators generally speaking.

>>10372710
>>10372718
Oh and as for the sleep bug, it still drains battery like crazy while in sleep mode no matter the operating system.

>>10370443
I want both the RP2S and the RG353P. I can only afford one at the moment and I'm torn. The RP2S is already on sale, and looking at the product available from both companies I feel like Retroid will likely stop selling the 2S before Anbernic stops selling the RG353 series, meaning there's a chance I'll miss out on the 2S.
But I much prefer the 353P form factor, and I've heard Android devices are harder to get working than Linux, meaning the 353P will take me less work to get playing. It might be the more gratifying short term pick while I save for the 2S.
This shouldn't be such a hard decision. Will the RP2S stay on sale until 11/11? Well I get a chance to think it over while both devices are on sale?

Not claiming you are one, but they're so cucked that they systematically think touch screen controls are sufficient.

>>10372417
It's easily the best pocket emulator you'll get for $20, but thats sorta like saying the McDouble is the best burger you can get for $3.

Technically true, but unless you genuinely can't afford anything better, you'll probably be left feeling like "damn, shoulda just spent a few bucks more and get something actually good"

>>10372197
its not bad actually

>>10371910
I assume you didn’t watch the video, because it’s a fully custom system. They don’t have to shove an FPGA into anything. They’re not ruining existing systems to make this.

>>10370545
You WILL have almost-but-not-quite N64 and Dreamcast and you WILL be happy

>>10372045
>At most all you have to do to a GBC to make it "up to date" is a rechargable battery pack and an IPS mod,
Rechargable battery packs are just e-waste waiting to happen. Stick to AA batteries, you can buy rechargable AA's that will last longer than your interest in playing GBC games probably will.IPS is not the end all, be all either. That said I agree completely with your analysis of FPGA sellers.

I don't know why people want a ds like handheld, just get a cheap Japanese dsi for $46 and flashcart and you are good.

Think I'm gonna do it.

>>10373494
Remember that this is a <4 gen only machine. Don't expect to have fun with that form while holding the sticks.

>>10373471

Doesn't the scaling on the DSi make it look like absolute shit?

>>10373494
get an RG353V clone like the R36S if you want to play 3D games and actually use the sticks

>>10371891
this year?

>>10371336
Comes in handy for arcade, though I hear it's still not enough for some 2000s stuff.

>>10371406
>That sounds like a problem with a specific chinkheld and not a problem with the chip in general
No, it's a RK3566 issue, ask devs. Most noticeable when you have dual booting devices like my 353V where you can see battery reports varying around 15% between Linux and Android. See also >>10372720.

>Which games did you have trouble with?
Well, like you said N64 is in a very, very poor state. Somehow people are okay with Glide64 having really bad lighting and stutters. DC fell short for 2D fighters even on Android where DC runs better, which was incredibly disappointing as it was THIS close to smooth full speed. 3D stuff is generally unmanageable, called it a day early on there.

>>10371648
Understandable.

>>10373494
>51 burgers
Sounds good. Grab a screen protector if you can.

>>10372748
It'd be the 2S hands down even if it were the 32GB model, 128GB for $99 is pretty good. Heard the transparent ones have a gripper texture, my transparent black one handles fine at least, not slippery as some complain about. Also doesn't come with a screen protector, so keep it in mind. And they're not gonna drop the 2S any time soon, no FOMO to suffer here though it definitely won't be this cheap again for a while.

>>10373509
I don't, it's a Gameboy machine for me, that'll also play SNES. Pico8 looks interesting too.

>>10373494
Ordered, had to pay vat on top but it's still a good deal.

>>10372657
I plan to do this at some point semi-soon. Making a gameboy macro with TV out seems fun and will be comfy to play on.

>>10373503
You are thinking of 3DS
>>10373471
>and flashcart
No if you have a DSi you can hack it to run games off of the SD card

>>10373535
>I plan to do this at some point semi-soon. Making a gameboy macro with TV out seems fun and will be comfy to play on.
Only if you use a broken and unfixable console. If you ruin a good DS I hope you get cancer.

>>10373542
Flashcart is still more reliable. ndsbootstrap never works on some of games.
>>10373503
Nope, it's pixel perfect.

>>10372854
only the bottom one will retain its value
only the botton one is worth owning

>>10373578
Of course not. I have broken ones ive gotten at yard sales with fucked screens for $5.

>>10373605
Screens can be replaced. That said it's still better than some of the cunts on youtube/reddit/social media who literally break/cut a working DS in half to make a Macro. Especially when those "Macros" tend to end up thrown away/sold on ebay.

>>10373594
Just use twimenu, works 100% of the time and isn't limited to the bootstrap 30 game limit

>>10373513
>they're not gonna drop the 2S any time soon
nta but what makes you think that? They only sold the 2+ for what like a year? And don't even get me started on the window between the 3 and 3+.

>>10373653
It's uncontested in its price range and companies have no response to it, why would they just drop it?

>>10373668
Oh so you are new to Retroid then.

>>10373637
twimenu uses ndsbootstrap

>>10373623
Yeah the screens can be replaced but if you are ever at a point where it cant be replaced then I dont think its going to be good to use for the mod.

>>10373691
Makes sense to me, unless they have a Hyper 2S Turbo in the oven to supersede it. They secured the 4:3 market for at least the next 6 months.

>>10373503
It's literally the exact resolution which DS games play at. The issue with the screens are their ghosting and yellowing issues.

>>10373778
6 months is not a long time.

>>10373595
>only the bottom one will retain its value
Huh?

>>10373595
Retro collector brainrot's hitting this poor anon hard huh

>>10373963
He'll retire from selling his obscure japanese handheld with no demand one day, you'll see.

I just finished Rayman 3D on my New 2DS XL.
I gotta say, this port leaves a lot to be desired. In every other version Rayman loses a bit of health after falling into a pit/lava/poisonous water and respawns at the last checkpoint. Non-lethal hits from enemies and environment hurt him too. If he loses all health, you restart the entire section with half of his max health. In this port he doesn't lose health, his health is refilled instead for some reason. This gets rid of any sense of challenge and makes the game ridiculously easy except for the very final sections. Red lums are basically pointless now, it's a waste of time to collect them because you'll be running at max health all of the time anyway. It's my biggest gripe with this port. Performance on the "Old" 3DS systems is also pretty bad, but that can be fixed with CPU overclock on the "New" 2/3DS (XL). And there are more bugs and jank than I remember from the Dreamcast version, though that could be tied to the overclock as well because my game even crashed on time. The music sounds good, it's leagues ahead of the DS port. Why did they remove the Globox village though?
All in all, I'd much rather play the Dreamcast version again on a chinkheld that can emulate it decently or even on a Vita than this.

Any good psp/vita clones?

>>10373594
>Flashcart is still more reliable. ndsbootstrap never works on some of games.
yeah ndsbootstrap sucks i dont get why people shill for it when a good flashcart costs like 5 dollars, also they released and update a couple years back that corrupted saves you dont get bs like that with a flashcart. hiyacfw also takes forever to boot

why is it that in so many handheld reviews, one of the metrics people judge is "do the trigger buttons make sound if you shake the device"?

do people actually care about this? are people so invested in their games that they can't stop themselves from violently shaking in their seat, and the clatter of buttons drowns out the music? how are you playing these things so that "the sounds made when you shake it" is a factor worth considering?

>>10373578
>Only if you use a broken and unfixable console.
honestly i dont think it matters dslites are abundant and cheap, any changes are easily reversible and chinks make good qaulity replacement shells, people who do it to fat ds's are cancer though

>>10374172
I think people just consider it an example of whether a handheld's hardware quality is cheap or not. Cheap chinkhelds tend to rattle because they don't have everything properly tightened together. But yeah, I don't think anyone actually considers shaky buttons a "dealbreaker" as long as the buttons themselves are good.

>>10371306
It's been a few YEARS since I tuned into the retro handheld community, I'm shocked they're still on that fucking chip

Miyoo Mini failed to deliver today, picking it up at the post office (which is literally across the street from me) tomorrow at 9 in my pajamas.
I don't even want it, will probably not even open it so I can resell it as new.

>>10374207
Chinese philosophy to try millions of variants of the same thing to see which is the most profitable (not necessarily the most popular)/sell what others are already selling successfully.

>>10374324
its not that bad
the qualms i had with it were deepcuts\compatibility issues
for normies its serviceable
i think it was a good price under 60$
made a cute gift

and this is coming from someone that hates chinkhelds

>>10374324
if it's a v4 you're making the right choice

>>10374353
nta but what's a v4? Is that just a term for the MM+?

>>10374338
That's the Plus.
>>10374353
It is, which is why I don't even want to bother opening it.

>>10374364
No. There have been four different variants/releases of the original Miyoo Mini. The latest one, which adds smoke and fire retardant yellow to the original five colours for some retarded reason, is the v4 series with the shittiest screens yet since the original screens are no longer available.

Ordered a RP2S. Never used an android based emu device. Is there cfw to install like Linux devices or do I just go download emulator apps like it's a phone?

>>10374338
>Analogue Pocket owner thinks the Miyoo Mini and the Miyoo Mini + are the same thing
You would, too

I kinda want a pocket flip, but what are the odds they release a plus version anytime soon?

>>10374376
Still trying to justify that investment huh

>>10374374
Retroid has a setup wizard that offers you the relevant standalones, RA and some games to install, from there you set it up. No CFW, stock is sufficient.

>>10374374
>do I just go download emulator apps like it's a phone?
yes

also you can sideload APKs if you don't want to link a google account to the device

>>10374374
To use play store without an account, get Aurora Store. For F-Droid repositories (open source apps), get Droid-ify.

>>10374380
What are you talking about? I admitted I bought it drunk, tried to cancel the order but it had already been shipped, and I plan on reselling it without even opening it.

>>10374376
i thought the non-plus models were "rare" and "out of production"

the plus is already almost too small
i cant imagine having it smaller on purpose
aside from reddit memeposting

>>10374405
>What are you talking about
People still pretending the Analogue Pocket is good because they can't admit they wasted over 200 dollars on it.

>>10374415
They announced they were going to drop a fourth wave in October back in June. Reddit had a meltdown. Then they made a Facebook group to keep eyes on the official Miyoo store for when they went live. People then started panicking because they WEREN'T instantly selling out like usual, meaning their popular/rarity have plummeted and they're not longer coveted. It was all so hilarious.

>>10374447
What's worse is it doesn't even look good.

>>10374374
Do yourself a favor and set up daijisho as your default home app. You'll have to point it towards your roms and installed standalone emulators/retroarch cores depending on the system you're playing, but once you get it set up, it will feel like a linux handheld frontend, like emulationstation.

It's kinda crazy there's no real guide on setting up Android with so many chinkhelds using it. Like yeah, sure, you have the barebones 'here's the emulators you download' thing from RGC but that hardly softens the blow for someone new. You'd have to drill them on how to set up a file manager and FTP, frontends, sourcing apps, etc.

>>10374487
Adin Walls has a 1 hour 40 min youtube guide on setting up the newer retroid devices, but please ignore anything he says about control bindings (he actually says in the video to bind the triggers to savestates on ps1 because "the ps1 doesnt have L2 or R2", fucking idiot).

Retrogamecorps also has a written starter guide on his website for the retroid pocket 2s/2+/3/3+ that is pretty useful.

Does anyone know if there's a way to fix the loose hinge and screen flopping on a 2DSxl? I'd like to play it in bed like I used to with my old fat DS. The fat DS had a really solid hinge and the screen wouldn't move at all.

>>10374487

>>10374503
if you can do repairs there's hinge replacements online or you can send it to Nintendo. Opening any kind of DS up is a huge pain, you have to take the whole thing apart.

I was going to tell you to get a plastic case but the 2DS XL case is two separate pieces instead of one like the DS Lite case with its own hinges so that won't work

so when's the rg35xx wifi version coming?

>>10374676
The neat thing about this case is you can print out pictures and place them between the DSlite and the case to customize it without getting sticker adhesive all over everything like a retarded child.

>>10374617
>You mean emulators? Are they any good or am I better off installing my own?
Yeah, they're fine. I think they're bundled rather than downloaded, so they might be a tiny bit outdated. Select Mixplorer too, that will be your controller friendly file manager and FTP server. You can also rerun the setup wizard from Handheld Settings later without wiping the device, pretty handy.
>What does this mean?
Retroarch.

>>10373503
DSi uses the same screens as the DS Lite. DSi XL doesn't even look bad despite the reduced PPI.
The real issue is when you use the 3DS for DS games, it just doesn't look good at all and I don't even bother with twilight menu for 3DS because of it.

So, the best of all worlds would be?

>>10374695
Oh. Is Retroarch a must-have for android or is that just personal preference? I still play everything via individual emulators on PC. I like it that way but if RA is needed for good performance on Android I guess I can deal with it.
And is an FTP necessary or just for convenience? I assumed I could move files via an SD card reader or USB. Yes I'm old.

>>10374703
If you hold start and select when booting a DS game on a 3DS it'll be pixel perfect. Smaller too but still as good or better than shitty DSi screens.

What are the chances of PKD doing an RGB30 revision with a touchscreen like they did for the RK2023 w/ Wifi? It could easily be the best DS machine to date if it had actual compatibility with most of the library

>>10374693
>goo gone
i use quality stickers though so if i change my mind and peel

>>10374707

>>10373847
Is it better to get a DS or DSi if I'm going with a flash cart?

Miyoobros....not like this....

>>10374710
Yeah, RA houses most of the emulators you'll want and makes scaling and aspect ratio a lot easier, with only a few select standalones outperforming them like Redream (DC) or Mupen FZ (N64). Setting it up and getting used to it is a bit of a pain, true, but at the end of the day you're just launching games from the frontend anyway.
I'm old too, but FTP is so much easier than fucking around with cables.

>>10374765
either is fine
keep in mind you might have to run a modified os.rom on your flashcart

many faggy chinese r4 sellers put a "timebomb" on their carts effectively making them stop working unless you time travel on your console back to a different date
or run a custom "timebomb-less" OS (usually uglier but whatever)

they do this to sell the same r4 cart repeatedly to dumbasses overseas

i have the r4 gold
and whatever the black one is called
one of them works with the 3ds
if you have a dsi
you wont need a flashcard whatsoever
you can install the titles directly onto your homescreen like a 3ds

>>10374908
Actually leaving it anywhere does sound better, my RP2S loses connection if I so much as breathe near the cable while its plugged in. Too bad I already filled my 1TB sd card or I'd test the speeds on FTP. How much faster/slower is it vs using a cable?

>>10374902
I was thinking of going for the same. The transparent black also looks kind of cool, but I feel like one of the retro color schemes suits it with the big bezel and everything.

>>10375234
>Is the grip actually worth it?
Makes it unpocketable, so if you're mainly using it like that no. But for playing at home, it does make it more comfortable. Even without the grip, I don't think the 2S is that bad to hold though. I can play fine either way, if I didn't have the grip I probably wouldn't miss it. That's my two cents.

>>10375234
I would make my own low-profile grips out of anything I could find. Like blutac wrapped in film if you're that needy.

>>10374441
I've always kept an eye on obscure technology and after a few years of these things sitting in drawers I sell them a retard prices. People actually buy this shit, someone bought 2 of my Tamagotchis for $400, what. Sold my miyoo for $160 WHAT.

>>10374624

>>10370443
I know there are better options, but I got an Anbernic RG35XX as a gift recently and I've been enjoying it. I replayed MediEvil the other day.

>>10375234
I went for transparent black and I like it a lot. Plus I heard the non-transparent colors get smudged more easily. I didn't get the grip and I don't think it needs one. Yeah it's a rectangle, but the bumps under the triggers actually do a lot of heavy lifting for the ergonomics.

It failed immediately at launch so they discontinued it. No one wanted it when it was new. Pretty sure Sony only made them for 2 years tops if you include Japan since NA and EU had to clearance the launch units.

>>10375957

>>10375971
They seem more correct and Android can actually idle without draining too much, but with what they charge for the Android and extra GB of RAM versions it makes no sense whatsoever to not just move up a tier. The thing won't blow up, if that's what you're worried about.

>>10376349
>>10376362
Anbernic's design and build quality are better so unless you really need N64 the 353p is superior.

>>10376402
That was only true in the pre-2+ days, and only partially true in the 2+ days. The 2S build quality is far better than any Anbernig I've ever used.

>It's here
>No box, comes in the case

>>10376402
Design is arguable, though my experience with their d-pads has been abysmal on the 353V, build quality is about the same, slight edge for the 2S for not using the battery as a heatsink and having hall sticks, and I much prefer its d-pad.

>>10376362
Eh, I was somewhat mistaken. Looking at the official Anbernic store, RG353P costs $119.99 with free shipping by 4PX. Retroid Pocket 2S costs $99 but you have to pay at least $15 for 4PX shipping. So yes, that makes RP2S $5.99 cheaper than RG353P IF we go by the official prices. Thing is, now I've looked at Ali and RG353P is way cheaper there and sells for way below the official Anbernic price ($90 with free shipping), which makes it cheaper than RP2S. So it's not all as clear-cut as it seems. Still, I feel sorry for anyone who buys RG353P from the official Anbernic store for that price right now.

>>10376428
No screen issues (yet, I hear the adhesive gets weak when it warms up too much and will just start to peel off during gameplay, which may take a few hours of use to do), but my L2 button is really stiff. I hope I can take it out and maybe sand it down or something to make it match the R2 button. It registers when I press it, but it doesn't move or click in.

>>10376428

>>10376435
You bought a v4 Mini and it's defective to boot? Damn.

>>10376435
I think I'm still gonna list it on the local marketplace at a stupid high markup to see if I get offers on it. I dunno. Once my R36S arrives Monday, I really don't ever see myself actually playing the Miyoo Mini. It's like having a fucking Pokemon trading card that you never use but just display. But at least I can actually play and want to play the thing. Just...I want to play that R36S even more.

so, the r36s is more powerful than the miyoo mini?

>>10376443
kek, you're gonna come back crying to the miyoo mini once your r36s arrives and you realize how bad the buttons and d-pad are on that one.

>>10376456
Uh, yes? The Miyoo Mini can barely do most of the PS1 library. The R36S, for less money and far more availability, can do DreamCast, N64, PSP, and DS. Though the DC and N64 emulators they have on the stock ArkOS with the R35S/R36S has this weird lighting issue that gives everything harsh shadows.
>>10376462
I already own an R35S. Only issue is the stick placement though the shoulder buttons could be better.

>>10376482
>The R36S, for less money and far more availability, can do DreamCast, N64, PSP
just like the RP2S runs PS2, yeah.

https://strawpoll.com/7MZ0AqdQpyo

it's weird, years ago I found scans of the original gameboy dev manual from ~1989 but now the thing's been scrubbed from the internet, nothing out there but the much later v1.0 and v1.1 of the dev manuals

>>10376567
blue one is the only one that looks good

>>10376535
Zoomers who need duo analog sticks to play GBA games.

>>10376575
It's not weird, it's actual Nintendo lawyer takedowns of content not approved to be online.

>>10376596
lol well they're failing badly because now their entire dev kit is out there after that last leak

>>10376535
Something not being allowed isn't the same thing as something being hated, black-and-white-thinking US citizen. There is absolutely no discussion to be had concerning the games on those things as they all run 100% of the exact same games. The only difference between them are the shape of the handheld and whether it's wrong and only has one button, or proper and has two buttons. At least Tiger handhelds and like devices have unique titles on them from one another (even if just vaguely). 99% of the time it's just a sperg wanting to show off that he owns a nugget.

>>10376596
nah, pretty sure it just never spread very far since it was way lower quality than the pdfs of the manuals from >1999. wish I saved it, it's not even on archive.org which is hosting tons of other official Nintendo materials

>>10376535
It's less hate and more a nothing. They're all the exact same thing, to the point that they're literally named clones. It's like reviewing Big Macs across the nation, you're not gonna really get any interesting conversation.

>>10376567
If it's anything like the plastic used on the 353V, the black will be more like a foggy ice on light. Never seen a transparent black Saturn pad though.

Miyoo Mini v1 and v2 had the original 640x480 screens. The v3 from June 750x560's was pretty bad and kept falling out, while so far the v4's 750x560 seems to be a better screen and hasn't had any falling out issues yet, even when people rip the screen protector off attempting to take the screen with it. It seems like the v3 was a truly shitty attempt to make more of the original ones, and the v4 fixes the v3's issues (except for the screen resolution being 750x560 but the old screens are just no longer available, anywhere, and haven't been produced in years. Miyoo's too small to commission a manufacturer to start producing those old screens again. 99% of these chinkhelds rely on already made parts except for the PCB and shell design). God damn were some of those v3 batches fucking awful. I almost feel bad for everyone who stayed up for hours every night waiting for a split second opportunity to buy one.

>>10376648
>Never seen a transparent black Saturn pad though.
It's a mix of clear in most of the front and frosted in the back + edges. Generally speaking though, I'm good with 100% frosted. I've had 2 Retroids like that and loved both.

Meant for this post, why the fuck were these posts deleted? Does the retard think Sonic Adventure 2 isn't retro lmfao?

I fucked up when sticking my screen protection, tried fixing it and made it worse by bending it. I was really excited to receive my chinkboy and now my day is ruined.

>>10376808
So? Order a spare or three, these things are sold everywhere.

>>10376823
I don't like ordering small stuff I'll have to go buy it tomorrow which is annoying and my gaming evening is ruined

>>10376823
the screen will come off together with the screen protector lol

>>10376808
thanks, you just singlehandedly convinced me to wait for the miyoo flip.

>>10376435
>>10376808

>>10377039
It sticks very well so if you accidentally drop it on the screen like I did it's over but if you're careful it should be alright

>>10374993
I remember going to the local Ga*eStop to pick one of these up on release and finding that they'd all been cleared out immediately.
Only chance to get a non-XL N3DS in NA, and they made it limited edition scalp bait.

>>10377067
You can actually thank Reggies Fils-Aime for that. He pushed hard that nobody in North America wanted the normal New 3DS and then they finally released it as some Black Friday only exclusive one time sale. My roommate at the time and I were two of the only six people to get one at our local Walmart after waiting in line for Black Friday to start while everyone else went for TVs and shit.

how much will the miyoo flip cost

>>10376808
I’m too autistic for screen protectors. If that shit isn’t perfectly aligned, and doesn’t occupy the entire screen, I just rip it off and play it raw

How different is setting up Retroarch on Android vs desktop? Can I learn how to set it up on my computer to get the hang of it before trying on a handheld or will it be a completely different experience?

>>10377094
Hello, canceled

>>10377104
Same

>>10377094
Prob 80~90 dollars

>>10377121
almost completely the same. the main difference will be the menu driver, which is "ozone" by default on desktop, and "glui" for android.

Do the Anbernic RG505 and Powkiddy RK2023 have any built-in games out of the box, or do have to get them separately hands-down? If yes, is it hard wired in the ROM, or supplied via an off-brand Micro SD card?

>>10377127

>>10377175
Why would you ever want to use pre-bundled roms?

>>10377179
Oh, thanks for the reminder + warning regarding that. the pre-bundled roms are typically finicky at best in performance.

>>10377187
Bad dumps, Chinese shit, duplicate games, etc.
Just find some No-Intro sets from the internet archive or something if you don't want to deal with the ad-ridden rom sites.

>>10377179
Dingoo had some original games preloaded. One being a pretty cool survival horror game.

>>10377175
RG505 is Android, right? Might be polluted with some preinstalled game, some Androids do that like my X28, otherwise no. Normally Linux doesn't come with games, though IIRC the stock Linux for 353V came with one homebrew game for each popular system.

it's pink

>>10377154
Thanks hoss. Guess I'll try to get the hang of it on my computer while I wait for my RP2S to ship.

>>10376435
How'd you get the light blue? :(

>>10377193

>>10377206
I was up late, drunk, while watching my roommate play Starfield on October 19th checking the status on my R35S order when I saw they had like 200 blue and 200 black Miyoo Mini in the store and impulsively bought one. They were still available an hour after I bought it, probably due to all the rumours around the V4 being worse than the V3 with its falling out screens and poorly molded buttons, but the V4 seems to be the best model yet. They even added two way USB-C charging.
When I realized what I had done I went to cancel the order, but Miyoo had already marked it as shipped (even tho it didn't have a tracking number yet). I was originally planning to resell it but now I kinda want to keep it.

>>10377226
What store did you get it on? I'm guessing they're out of stock now? I bought a purple miyoo mini+ the other day but I'd really like the light blue miyoo mini not-plus.

>>10377232
The official Miyoo Mini store during their October release of the V4, I would never pay a markup for any of these things.

>>10377198
that dpad on the left lookin REAL bad though
what is the point of these devices if they're unplayable hot garbage

>>10377226
there's a reason why it was so popular, after all. it's at the size where it's charming, but still playable.

slow enough that by the time you receive it, a better model will have been released, making it redundant

I only have $27. Hoping to play ps3 and some Xbox 360. What device should I buy?

>>10377440
They were using blackberry screens for those minis and there are none left, so that screen size and resolution will be difficult to find again.

Should I wait or will there be a new MUST HAVE cheap powerhouse handheld around the corner?
>t. was considering a r36s

>>10377193
>>10377215
full version of 7 Days Salvation got translated. Dingoo only had 5 days compared to the Symbian version

>>10377463
Yeah but knowing Retroid the next model will play PS2 and Xbox for less than 150 but run at 110 degrees fahrenheit and make you unscrew the back of the device to reach start and select.

Miyoo has released the v3 and v4 since with new screens, you fucking dumbass. Pay attention and stop running your mouth. I mean for fuck's sake, we were literally just discussing the v4 for the last third of this thread.

I don't see an emulation general, so I will ask here.

I have a mini pc sitting and collecting dust. What's the current "thing" in usb drive os emulation? Last thing i remember was batocera drives with 99,999 games sold on ali for cheap.

Has anything improved?

>>10377509
except the screens on the v4 are terrible lmao
>stop running your mouth
you sound retarded hahaha

>>10377545

>>>/vg/emugen

>>10377482
The market moves so fast you might as well just buy something. There's always going to be something better in 2-3 months

>>10377545
What would change?

>>10377505
Rp2s is best bang for your buck right now. 4gb model for $100

I wonder if we'll get more power efficient x86 handhelds next year, or if the Steam Deck will still reign supreme for the next few years. Or if it'll even matter by that point anyways, given the advancements made with ARM chips.

>>10377482
The R36S is going to be the best $50 handheld this year unless they suddenly release a fucking R37S, but I don't know what else they could do with it besides add WiFi. You also shouldn't be worried about getting "THE ONE" unless you're a consuming fucking faggot who only gets a dopamine hit from the purchasing of coveted/popular products. You should get a device that plays the games you want to play, for the price you want to pay, in the form factor you want them in. If you're only looking for emulation up to PS1, we're basically past that point. There's not going to be anything that specializes in PS1 or prior specifically because they're all a given at this point.
Unless you're buying hilariously stupid X12 or X20 type Sup Boy garbage.

Does a device need more than four CPU cores to run GameCube? I'm actually surprised, considering Dolphin has been such an easy to fucking run GCN and Wii emulator for so many fucking years now, I would assume both consoles would be a pinch to run. But it seems these handhelds can only run up to PSP with four cores and I hate how hot anything larger gets due to the needed battery.

>>10377746
I was just wondering which ones are worth owning to get the most bang for my buck, or if I should specialize and get two for specific needs? Maybe even get three? (1:1, 4:3, and 16:9 aspect ratios so nothing squishes or has black bezels?) Obviously I'm not expecting GameCube or Wii for under $80.

>>10377721
Every Windows handheld sucks. I just want Valve to make a smaller Steam Deck variant even if it's weaker.

t. Someone who bought an X7 at a 75% discount and still hated what I got. It's a piece of shit that isn't fun to play for $11.

>>10377771
I like to believe that it could still happen, I love the Deck's 7" screen but it can be pretty bulky to throw in a bag and travel with. But I think Valve is worried the most about releasing handhelds that are battery efficient, so it'll be a while before that happens. Plus something like the original Ayaneo Air really shows the concessions made to make a really "portable" Windows PC, with a 5.5" screen and a 28wh/38wh battery. And the Loki Zero isn't much better when you need to turn up the wattage to have performance in a similar benchmark.
