Any suggestions?

>>10391661
Is the RP2S too expensive for your?

>>10391665
Not much. But the same problem as the R36S, few reviews.

>>10391669
It is actually one of the most reviewed handhelds out there https://invidious.snopyta.org/search?q=retroid+pocket+2+plus&page=1&date=none&type=all&duration=long&sort=relevance

Somebody asked about hentai games last thread but nobody recommended any. It may be time to make my own, load up the RPG Maker 3 rom and get to work.

>>10391661
The RG405M and RG505 have slightly improved processors with a little bit more power. They're T618 chips compared to RP2S' T610.

>>10391679
I don't play hentai games on my chinkheld because I use them mainly for playing outside in public.

Imagine if these consoles actually had worthwhile native games considering how powerful they are

>>10391715
there android/linux native games plus portmaster.

>>10391717
>>10391717
>there android/linux native games
Imagine if these consoles actually had worthwhile native games

>>10391715
Developers are so lazy nowadays that they complain about Xbox Series S being underpowered, no one would make games for them.

>>10391705
I would but if I'm outside that means I'm watching my kids and couldn't play anyway.

>>10391719
Android has over 10 years old of videogames, even if only 1% of it is good, that's still a lot. For linux, nowadays any indie game released works on it, and there are many free ones aswell (itch.io), if that's is not worthwhile then go play moder AAA games on your pc.

>>10391725
If only 1% of android games were good

>>10391656
>buy a MM+ a few days ago

Is that... No... It can't be... A slightly different shade of purple!?!?!?

Psychologically speaking, playing with a vertislop is like playing with someone else's dick AND enjoying it.

>>10391756
Analog sticks were a mistake, handhelds look so much better without them.

the only thing better than triggering vertisloppers is triggering poor vertisloppers

>>10391786
Ave all watched you seethe thread after thread, you're not fooling anyone

>>10391756
Heres my other hand held.
I keep one in each pocket

>>10391748
That's pink.

>>10391814
>horisneed tranny is still crying
You're own pic shows it's purple XD
Lmao with these blind niggers
I think the tranny hormones ruin your vision lol

>>10391748
Someone's really, really upset that another company is making a better Miyoo Mini + that's actually purple.

>>10391817
Can't wait to order an R33s

>>10391817
>the tranny keeps crying because the AI told him he was wrong
Lmao, I'll bet you talked to your therapist about this bootyblasting XD

>>10391760
Finally somebody else who gets it
>>10391748
>>10391816
Are you okay?

>>10391817
To be fair it is kind of funny that you made multiple images that still show that you're wrong.

>>10391656
How the hell does one use the vertical designed handhelds with two triggers in the back without being cramped and pressing wrong buttons.

>>10391741
Pay the price, suffer the cost.

Is the R33S honestly worthwhile though? What's the point of being able to emulate N64, DreamCast, PSP, DS, etc without either a touch screen or a single analog stick? At this point, you'd be better off just getting an RG35XX even if its chip is weaker, because you can't really play anything beyond PS1 without analog sticks anyway.

>>10391830
It's worthwhile if you want a purple Miyoo Mini +. :)

>>10391814
Take the L bud, you are obsessed about pink and purple and chinese not being able to clone a color perfectly.

>>10391812
This gun is purpose made for baby boomers and I don't know why they don't love it more.

>>10391821
I took the one screenshot now >>10391817, and if you think that's purple you're objectively wrong.

>>10391832
>so butthurt you used your tranny janny powers to delete the post
Lmao
I just reset my ip every post

>>10391812
Ha ha, knew what it was before even clicking.

>>10391825
Depends on the shape of the shoulder buttons. This is one of the reasons why the R35S/R36S is flawed; You really can't press L2/R2 without accidentally also hitting L1/R1 as well.

>>10391814
I'm glad they all looked the same to me. My cousin had a purple N64, I miss the days of translucent plastics shells. One day they were just gone.

>>10391849
Blame Nintendo for chasing the Apple aesthetic and then Microsoft and Sony for just making everything black or white with a really, really ugly design for promotional AAA titles only.

>>10391839
The AI already told you that you're wrong
>>10391837
Miyoo looks like the right
>>10391832
Right looks better, left isn't purple it's grey.

Also, sneed and dialate

>>10391849
I think he's a janitor, he's deleting all the messages that are tilting him out, hahahaha, imagine getting filtered by a shitpost on 4chan.

>>10391825
I didn't have a problem with it on the RG35XX, but it only goes up to PS1. I haven't used any other vertical handheld since the GBC.

One side effect of hormones is that everything starts to look pink

>>10391857
Its incredible. And he shits up every one of these threads no less. A proper mod needs to ban this guy forever, he's an obnoxious shitposter.

>>10391857
The janny is the one who replaced the buttons on his RG35XX. He posts on reddit using the same pictures.

>>10391863
Please stop talking to yourself. This is a thread about handhelds to play retro games on.

Color theory is outside the scope of this board.

>>10391848
They just need to make them like regular controller's layout to be functional and have the sticks above the dpad and buttons, menu buttons in the middle, it shouldn't be difficult to design an ergonomic handheld for fucks sake, do these chinese companies really not understand how things function?

>>10391867
God the start and select button placement looks so fucking awful. They should have been in the middle with the speaker between the sticks.

>>10391870
That's fine because the AI has spoken.
Conversation over.

To be fair, Miyoo has been inconsistent with their colours. Maybe some peoples' MM+ are actually purple when the yellow v4 has such a stupidly wide range of potential results, from DKL cartridge yellow to sun bleached grey smoker yellow.

Recommend me some transphobic ps1 games to play on my Miyoo

>>10391878
The purple seems pretty consistent

Why is the RG505 not often recommended?

>>10391890
At the time it released with a couple of issues (cardinal snapping and something else I don't remember) so everyone forgot about it and moved on to the retroid pocket 3+.

>>10391832
The grey one on the left looks boring. Where can i buy the electric purple one on the right?

Is there any point to this releasing anymore? GameKiddy is going to be charging a premium price for what the R35S/R36S/R33S already do for $50. Who's going to buy this at this point besides a dozen or so reviewers just to cover its existence?

>>10391908
Also, why all of the secrecy around it? It doesn't make anybody more interested in it, it makes everybody forget about it. I've never even seen anyone in these threads mention GameKiddy as a brand before, ever, and stupid shit like this just keeps them as an unknown nobody charging too much for what the competition does better.

>>10391656
Fuck the Janitor color.

>>10391915
Also, GKD seems to be aggressively comparing this to the RG Nano. They even copied the three colours the RG Nano comes in. I don't know why. The RG Nano was a fucking flop and nobody wants it, the few customers who did get it had their reviews deleted from Anbernic's website. I think GameKiddy is trying to bankrupt itself with both its marketing approach (WHOA, BIG SECRET COMING, WHOA, NEW LAYOUT NEVER SEEN BEFORE, WHOA, PLEASE FOLLOW AND SHARE TO GET MORE INFO) and it chasing to do a better RG Nano when the RG Nano was a hilarious unwanted flop.

>>10391887
If he just stopped being a mentally ill faggot, people wouldn't shit all over him. Eurotrash really can't handle minor banter.
>>10391890
Because it uses Android and it feels light to people who own Switches. I flashed Lineage OS to mine, but Burnout 3 and SSX Tricky run slow on it. Solid for 5th Gen with some 6th Gen depending on what it is. It's okay out of the box for anything else, but you're leaving a lot of performance on the table if you run Anbernig's shitty Android build. If it had Linux I think it would be one of the best value handhelds.

>>10391908
>>10391915
>>10391923
You're going to try again so soon? Why don't you just go outside for a few hours?

>>10391908
>>10391915
>>10391923
This is distressing because, this thing actually looks to be the "RG35XX Mini" that I wanted really badly, but with the awesome GameBoy Pocket Ice Blue colouring as well. But they're being such shits about it and when it's coming out that nobody fucking cares about it anymore, and they're going to have to overcharge to compensate for how few people are actually going to end up buying one at this point. It is so frustrating when you want something to succeed but the people behind it are so grossly incompetent.

>>10391927
I'm not a GameKiddy employee. I'm the R35S/R36S dude who made this mockup. GameKiddy is so incompetent that I doubt they have a single employee among themselves who know what a 4channel even is.

>>10391890
>>10391926
To continue my thoughts: the screen is bright as fuck, if you play a lot in bed you may not want that. The sticks are adequate, I'd rather not use them if I can help it. Without tweaking, they are great for Playstation and a bit too fast for N64, that stick had a bit more resistance than the ones on the RG505. The triggers are okay, I haven't pressed the wrong one yet. They feel a bit cheap because of the clicking noise but not totally junk

>>10391923
Nano is good for Gameboy color pokemon

Kind of a 1 trick pony

That's why posts talking about any other handheld are being deleted right now, right?

>>10391946
The only posts I see being deleted are from one aspergers riddled individual who was having an off-topic meltdown about his Miyoo Mini + being pink. aka you kek

>>10391948
I've been trying to talk about my Anbernic you thinned skinned faggot. Stop trying to lie.

>>10391669
2S is the current value king, lots of reviews though the "top" reviewers won't have much to say because it's a touch up of an older model. I've tested PSOv2 for someone last thread, it gets minute visual glitches on Flycast but it runs full speed. I believe it's the only chinkheld under $200 to have analog triggers too if you plan on anything else DC. Pocket 3+ works as well, being a bit faster and 16:9. They're both on sale at their site until 11.11, 2S doesn't come with a screen protector FYI, dunno about 3+.

>"launch screensaver"
Pretty sure this is just someone cycling through images though I could be wrong
Anyone know what OS this is or a clone of?

>>10391972
The R35S/R36S and supposed R33S all use an outdated version of ArkOS which you can easily update yourself, assuming you're not a zoomer who doesn't know what files and folders are.

>>10391948
You had a meltdown because the AI said you were wrong and then you deleted half of the thread. We all watched bro.

>>10391972
"Launch Screensaver" is ArkOS talk for playing a game's title screen demo video.

>>10391972
I'm just going to hold your hand right now and give you some sage advice;
If you genuinely do not know what something is, do not make an assumption and then make an ignorant claim based off of that assumption. Recognize that you just don't fucking know and take a moment to research why something might be the way it is, instead of just guessing and then spouting retarded bullshit about it. This is one of the most defining traits between children and adults.

>>10391958
I would recommend the P3+ for ergonomics alone, fuck bricks.

>>10391801
What's the deal with these things? I'm seeing them from $1.50 - $10 USD on AliE. Is the ROM accessible in any way on these / can you add games, or are you stuck with whatever was loaded on them at the factory? And are the controls usable?

>>10391986
All Famiclones are basically just one of those 256-in-1 NES cartridges back in the day, in handheld form. They'll have anywhere between 192 to 2000 NES games, hacks, clones, etc and the game list can't be modified or added to. You get what's on the device itself. Some are neat, most are absolute fucking dog shit.
A neat device is the Anbernic Retro Mini, which is both a famiclone AND a retro emulation handheld that focuses on NES, GB, GBC, and GBA emulation. It has two menus, one for the famiclone built in games and one for ROMs. I love the thing.

>>10391983
I don't mind it, personally.

https://youtu.be/Sy7HKQHI-NE?si=8crkoknJy-yOKfxk

Yeah, the odin2 is based

>>10391986
Also, these famiclones come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes with different NES roms/hacks on them, usually with the typical main titles like Contra but not Mario titles as some flimsy way of avoiding detection from Nintendo. Some might have Super Mario Brothers 1. The one you posted is the most common one, many vendors will bulk buy them and try to sell them for $20 each at conventions. Out of the ones I've tried, my personal favourite is the bottom right one in this collage.

>>10392017
(The top right one being the absolute worst one, do not buy it, ever, even for a dollar like I did)

OK, so the short story is pay the ~$50 for the least capable clone with SD card would be a better idea.
>>10391994
>Famiclones
There we go, that gets me started, thanks.
>>10392017
>$20 each at conventions
Yeah, or here sell them for $50 in the middle of the mall walkway. I always wonder how long it takes the lawyers to find these vendors and shut them down.

>>10391986
The appeal is playing a quick game of Mario, Tetris, Dr. Mario, Donkey Kong etc. with rechargeable battery and backlight (+ A/V out) for dirt cheap and without having to buy an actual modded Game Boy or NES. I went into these expecting to hate them and I ended up buying more of them and probably playing them more than I play any other handheld, mostly just for Tetris and Donkey Kong. The low price also makes them fun to collect

If you just want a cheap emulator handheld there's stuff like >>10391994, PMP IV, SF2000, X6 etc.

>>10392045
>OK, so the short story is pay the ~$50 for the least capable clone with SD card would be a better idea.
You can find the least capable ones for like $25, even less if you use AliExpress
>I always wonder how long it takes the lawyers to find these vendors and shut them down.
Why? They're not doing anything illegal. You can even find them on store shelves now in some places. Bought pic related last year and ended up giving it to a friend

>>10391830
A stronger chip also gives you stronger fast-forward. I upgraded from the MM+ to the RP2S, despite only playing GBA on both, because MM+ wasn’t strong enough to FFW on more intensive GBA games

>>10391830
>Is the R33S honestly worthwhile though? What's the point of being able to emulate N64, DreamCast, PSP
It can't play those for shit.

>>10391915
I bought their handhelds before, they're pricy compared to their competitors so I never shill them, not worth it.
>GKD350H: RG350 Pro basically, better CPU when everyone was still using JZ4770
>GKD Mini: vertislop version of previous one. Has extra tate mode buttons on the side
>GKD Mini Plus: RG353V in Miyoo Mini Plus size, has analog dock accessory
>GKD Mini Plus Classic: regular mini+ with dock in metal shell

at this point, instead of buying a 405m or RP3+ i think i might wait a few months to see what the next coolest thing that comes out is. i still have about 1000 games to play through on my MM+ and SF2000 before wanting to upgrade so what's the point? i was going to get a RP2S but might wait until the GameForce comes out. i bet by Q1 2024 we'll have a new wave of PS2/GameCube emulators and RP3+/405m will be old news

Outside of potentially a R33S and a Miyoo/Anbernic Flip, I think I'm not gonna bother with anything more powerful until we can get solid DreamCast/N64 at a $50 range. Maybe next year.

>>10391994
>>10392061
Ended up buying a Retro Mini, since mostly interested in GBA, GBC, GB, and want ability to add games with SD card. Thanks for advice.

>$69 for the kit

Thoughts on this?, I personally see myself buying and doing one

>>10392238
I think some people have shown the trimui smart pro doing that for around $80

>>10391656
Why are there so many of these?
Why do they always use the same shitty rockchip CPU?

https://youtu.be/JQ-X32MJDiQ?si=keO7w8Jq0n1765UC

>>10391669
I have the 2S, great build quality and specs for the price.
my ONLY complaint is the screen is too damn small

>>10392284
Chinese hypercompetitive market. Happens with lots of products, chinks realize they can actually make something people would want for low prices and very rapidly, so they start shitting out models like crazy trying different stuff and seeing what sticks. Similar thing with earbuds (wired and wireless), and for more niche interests of mine, rubik's cubes and coffee handgrinders.

>>10391665
I wish they wouldn't charge me 40% extra for shipping

>>10392254
You're going to need this http://www.webpersona.com/goomba/

For original Game Boy games. GBC doesn't run that great but GBA is pretty good in my experience. Worth noting you can also play some SMS and Game Gear games on it with SMSAdvance. There is also a cfw you can use that makes things easier but I've never tried it myself. RS-90 was my first vertical handheld, it's great for Tetris and MP3's

Where do chink manufacturers like the anbernic boss talk and post new stuff?

>>10392305
Bilibili

>>10392312
Isn't this a youtube clone? From time to time I see screenshots like some sort of forum or discord server.

How has no one made a “perfect DS handheld” yet? The RGB30 would almost be it if it had a touchscreen. Just make either a dual-screen 4:3 handheld, or a largely vertical-focused handheld that basically uses a phone screen in portrait mode. DS is so easy to emulate chipset-wise, but there’s never been a screen that works right for it.

>>10392324
No one wants to make an emulator for just one device

>>10392324
My guess is r&d costs and niche has made it difficult for companies to pitch and sell. Obviously, it can emulate other systems but by design it's made to fill one system, the ds. Probably sounds like a risk since it isn't intended to play every system.

>>10392324
Folding phones and dual screen phones basically satisfy this niche, as well as the original DS and 3DS line. Nintendo made so many variants that we basically don't really need one. There's also this >>10392356. A lot of DS games don't even make use of both screens, and there are single-screen mods for some of the ones that do.

>>10392324

>>10392403
>no touch screen

>>10392374
>almost $2000 to play an emulator that can run on a shitty handheld for $50
nah, not a solution.

>>10391656
I'm getting my first handheld tomorrow, a 35xx. What can I expect? My first time trying out retro games other than ps2 emulators on my computer

Ayn has a sale and the odin pro is $199.
They really wanna get rid of all their stock huh.

>>10392324
Did you forget about the ayaneo flip? It'll be expensive as fuck and probably shit build quality, but hey. Else, have faith in max zhou

>>10392440
This has become a fetish

>>10392419
For a few months you'll be happy but eventually you wish you just got an rp3+ instead.

>>10392419
You should check out available custom firmwares. It is very popular, so you will find many options and support for the community. It is cheap and does a good job at what it does, so you won't regret it, though as the other anon said eventually it may be not enough for your needs. The miyoo mini and this one have been popular for some time so they may release new models soon (miyoo already did).
Expect to play up to psx but not the most demanding titles without some tradeoffs.

>>10392451
I bought low end just in case it ends up being forgotten in a month. I'll upgrade later if I stick with it

That $25 has nothing to do with shipping, it's a tax on all goods and services called VAT. Since it includes both good and services, it's calculated using the full price including shipping, $114 in your case. EU passed a law forcing all foreign entities to pay them VAT upfront a few years ago, ostensibly to "protect European producers from unfair competition". This justification seems laughable because almost nothing is made in USA or Europe any more, and even more absurd in the case of gaming consoles and the like, because I'm pretty sure that the closest thing to a gaming handheld that Europe ever produced was Nokia N-gage. Vote for parties that want to leave the European Union in your next elections, this shit is cancer. They also passed a law saying that only companies can buy concentrated hydrogen peroxide, so restoring Dreamcast units or old PC keyboards in Europe is pretty much impossible for cheap now.

The Analogue Pocket deleting the game save off my legitimate FireRed cartridge because I put it in sleep mode kinda killed my enthusiasm to replay it. (Sleep is disabled for everdrive)

>>10392516
But there are companies that do free international shipping, or that just don't add that tax.

>>10392517
FYI, you can use DS Phat/Lite with a flashcart to make backups of saves on GBA carts.

>>10392503
but there is

>>10392527
>But there are companies that do free international shipping
If the shipping was free you'd pay $120.78 because 22% VAT would be calculated from $99 alone. So it costs you ~$21, not "40% extra" like you said.
>or that just don't add that tax.
I'm not aware of any such companies. Everyone does it. AliExpress, eBay, everything that uses Shopify. The first two will just show you the price with VAT already included if you use European frontends, that's the only difference.

>>10392527
>>10392537
Oh, one more thing: not adding that tax is very much against the law, so any website that offers it will be banned in Europe and the packages it sends out are likely to be returned by customs.

>>10392537
I've been looking at the trimui smart pro and litnxt has it for 80 bucks with free international shipping.
Also non game related, I order books from wordery which is a site that has free shipping across the board (ran by the people that used to run bookdepository, which had the same free shipping policy). Maybe books have some special exemption I'm not aware of and litnxt isn't doing their taxes right, I dunno.

>>10392516
I think this is only applied after a certain threshold, like 100€ or something like that.

>>10392549
>Maybe books have some special exemption I'm not aware of
Very likely. I know my country has only 5% VAT on books when it's 23% for most other things.

>>10392550
No, the tax is always added. Customs fees are what's added once the value of your package exceeds 150 EUR. So you pay even more to those parasites!

When are we gonna get some more OLED devices, I think that 16:9 is the best for improved GBA/PSP but they look like dogshit on LCD with the black on the sides for 4:3 games.

>>10392612
The RG505 is pretty much the only decent OLED chinkheld that isn't a phone.

https://youtu.be/JQ-X32MJDiQ

>>10392604
I like playing GBA rom hacks, PSP, and occasional gamecube/ps2. Analogue sticks are a must for those systems. Arc doesn't have a chip that can run those systems, can't even run Sega CD.

>>10392628
It feels like Chang has stagnated on the hardware front for now so I figured better screens was the next option, but i guess why bother when Reddit buys every single refresh instantly until it’s out of stock, same reason FIFA never gets better

>>10392636
Whoa, that thing is too big. Not getting one for sure.

>>10392636
It really is a chunky ass handheld.

The absolute unit

>>10392636
Good size. If the d-pad doesn't suck, I'll pick up the not-shit chip version later.

This looks great, if not for the lack of sticks I'd like to have one due to ergonomics and big screen.

I had my eye on this but now that RG ARC is here it's too late and overpriced. Handmade consoles just can't compete on price

I mean it's both chink shit

>>10392723
What are the specs on that one? Might be worth it if it does better Saturn.

>>10391741
And it will probably be built with shittier materials and buttons.

>>10392374

>>10392801

Other than that, the colors match to a t.

A tad bluer.

>>10392843
>>10392852
I think I'm grabbing one. I have an RG353M, so this won't be any more capable, but it looks way more ergonomic. I was recently playing with my 353M and it just feels shitty in the hand. I don't mind the lack of sticks, I don't use them anyway.

>>10392772
I guess

>>10392857
I'll wait for the upgrade, feels like a letdown without muh DC fighters.

>>10392864
>I'll wait for the upgrade
You'll just be waiting alongside the people who are still waiting for the "upgrade" of the 353P.

>>10392891
I'm aware.

Next year btw.

>>10392751
Non-chink handhelds occasionally get posted here as well.

it's time:
Anbernic ARC In-Depth Review

*buys the RP3+ anyway cause still the number 1 horizontal*

>>10392826
I don't think the chip itself is bad, its the overuse of it by many electronics companies.

>>10392797
no one cares

>hey guys I said chink do I fit in now!!?!?!?

>>10392487
*holds device higher*
problem solved

>>10392963
Don't get sensitive now, Brother Zhou.

>>10392992
Ha ha well meme'd fellow 4channeler!

>>10392937
It’s STILL the rp3+ bros…

>>10392997
Thanks Brother Zhou, now can you stop charging outrageous prices for RK3566?

>>10392998
>>10392937
As a first time chink handheld buyer, the rp3+ looks like the best option overall, but I have to ask: are the start/select buttons a annoying to use as they seem? desu I can't tell how often one uses those buttons when gaming, especially with old games.

>>10393006
You can kind of get used to Start since it's not too far off from where R1 is but Select is a bitch to press. After selling my RP3+ and going back to more normal layouts, I can say I would never want to use the RP3 layout again. Even if it's not that big of a deal overall, it's just an annoyance that rears its ugly head every time I used the device and I'm glad I just don't have to think about it anymore. Same with the volume buttons on the side of the device, which I honestly found even worse than the start/select placement.

>>10392998
no one seems to be able to make a better or at least significantly cheaper handheld with t618
we've regressed to rk3566 designs

How hard is it to fix up an old ds lite? I've got mine from when I was a kid, surprisingly the hinge is still in perfect condition (I remember a ton of kids breaking theirs), but my d-pad and shoulder buttons are utterly fucked and the battery dies quick.

>>10393018
Extremely easy, lookup teardowns.

>>10393018
repairing the D-pad and shoulder buttons is easier than repairing the hinge, but will probably require a motherboard swap
assuming the switches themselves are fucked and not just the plastic, there is no way to replace them without some pretty serious microsoldering
I'd just get a Japanese DS Lite with a broken display for $15 and do a motherboard swap

>>10393018
https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Nintendo_DS_Lite

>>10393018
Go to aliexpress and buy whatever parts you need to fix it.

Anybody else happen to own a New Pocket Go V2 (picrel related) and know how to get either Final Burn Alpha or Mame to load roms from the SD card? Its a handheld over 5 years old at this point and I realize its a long shot but I thought I'd ask

>>10392440
kino nds, pink is underrated color

>>10393121
What romset does that version of mame use?

>>10393130
I haven't a clue and I can't experiment as I can't figure out how to get mame to read from the secondary sd card. The main sd card is in a format windows can't read

What's the best handheld for the money value? I'm trying to spend $50 CAD or less on one but I dont want a total piece of shit, just something that plays gameboy, gba, and maybe snes games.

>>10393130
>>10393140
Checked the app which is Mame4All, where it usually has a version number all it has is GCW0 V1.2 which is a different handheld I think

>>10393151
Almost everything can run up to gba and snes, it's only at ps1 that some systems start having problems. The miyoo mini plus is a very popular choice, also look into the r36s, rg35xx or maybe even the m17 if you want a something cheap.

>>10392738
Are you suggesting the average Analog Pocket purchaser knows how to do ANY level of modifications? They're the type of people who will pay BestBuy's Geek Squad $100 to run Norton Antivirus for them.

>>10393180
yeah, a lego handheld is not what their audience wants

>>10393151
R36S at the moment.

>>10391812
How do you accumulate so much excess fat that your body has to store it in the fingers?

>>10391656
buy an ad

>>10393163
That uses romset 0.37b5, but you might want to switch to xmame. When you launch the app, it can’t read the sd at all? Does this only happen with the mame app. Does it launch a file selector and if it doesn’t, does pressing select to edit the apps settings have a toggle for it?

so huh, whatever happened to the pocket 4?

>>10393357
Nothing, it was the 2S being teased.

>>10393357
Probably in the works right now. They haven't said anything about it officially yet though.

Man. Modern famiclones and handhelds all have the same generic looks to them. I miss when there was so much variety/diversity of them. They used to come in different shapes, different colors, different looks but now they all look like gameboys and vitas.

RELEASE IT!!!

>>10393478
Hello, cancelled.

>>10393495
no that was the p60

>>10393458
There's more unique shapes and designs to Famiclones now than ever, a unique design is really all they have going for them now. Just the one Gameboy one is the one vendors and stores keep stocking and selling due to convenience and cost.

>>10393458
>>10393519
I'm a real fan on this one. :^)

>>10393458
No seriously, most of the modern famiclones look like different PlayStation controllers with a screen this year. The PS5 controller famiclone looking to be the nicest one, this PS3 one being the most hilarious one.

Any dual-screen system for DS emulation?

>>10393539
I remember seeing one that looked like a fishing rod and thought it was fucking hilarious. Don't remember the name of it though.

>>10393553
Yes it's called the Nintendo DS

>>10393553
Reason I ask is because I remember there used to be a hardware clone of the GBA, and the same Chinese developer was working on one for the DS and showed prototypes but this was all many years ago.
>>10393559
Not what I asked.

It was before all these emulation devices became trendy, there was a blog dedicated to reviewing "open handhelds" as they were called back when homebrew and FOSS were actually selling points before normies ruined it.

>>10393561
You literally asked for any dual-screen system for DS emulation. Literally the only ones that exist are the DS family, the 3DS family, the 2DS family, and dual screen/flip screen smart phones. That's fucking it my guy, don't be an asshole because you didn't like the answer.

>>10393458
You're so full of shit, there's more shapes and colors and looks than ever

>>10393579
Well I haven't really been paying attention to the famiclone market since 2017.

>>10392591
Funnily enough a portion of the video is him complaining about the handheld not having analog sticks. It's so dumb to waste time with that in a device that you already know doesn't have analog sticks.

where to put code? shit don't work

>>10393614
Anon, aliexpress sale is on the 11 of november. It will be way cheaper to buy from there.

>>10393670
yeah i was just seeing if the code was gonna work it dont lol

>>10392428
Of course, there's no way in hell they can sell they Odin Pro at a similar price given the massive leap in specs with the Odin 2.

>>10393553
Steam Deck with monitor, Galaxy Z Flip, Surface Duo, LG G8X or V60.

The Ayaneo Flip DS and the rumored GPD DS are on the way if you want something with 2 screens built in

I really want an ARC but don't want to play into brother zhou's shitty business practices (and it can't play saturn). Think I will support an honest company like powchaddy

It's a ghost company with no community. It will have shit software, shit build quality, and shit support. It isn't even strong enough to run anything the Miyoo can't. Don't be retarded. There is new shit coming out every week.

Does anyone have a image/video on cutting the GBA C54 capacitor on 40 pin boards for ITA mods.

The thing that is making me hesitate with the Arc is that Russ said there might not be any community firmware support. How likely do you guys think that is?

Which layout do you use in melonDS on Steam Deck? The default layout is killing my eyes, it just doesn't feel as good as a real DS.

>>10391656

The only one that I can think of that does is AetherSX2 and they were added recently as a final "fuck you" to the users from its developer before he stopped working on it entirely. That one has a patched version with ads removed called NetherSX2.

Yes, but you can just pirate them. It's not like I'm gonna log into my bank account on a chinkheld, so I don't care about security.

I'm tempted to buy both and resell one.

>>10395423
You can probably sell it for like 180€ easily

>>10395427
Yeah I see a lot of used chink handhelds being sold at full price if not higher.
Now my question is, which shipping method to use? 4PX sounds extremely slow but DHL almost always asks for extra fees when importing. I don't want to get a $50 surprise fee n top of everything else. What do you guys use when buying from retroid's store?
Actually looking at anbernic's store, they also use 4PX but they say shipping takes 2 weeks not 2 months. Now I'm even more torn on what to buy. FUCK!

is there a best of both worlds option
>want the fuckhuge resolution and nice screen of analogue pocket
>prefer software emulation to fpga autism and cart compatibility

Its a snapdragon. Couldn't play thug for 10 minutes

>>10395578
Based desu. Most reviewers don't even talk about whether it's pocketable or not.

>>10391705
What does that have to do with anything

Apparently Pocket 2S analog sticks have replaceable caps. Do I have to disassemble the sticks to replace them or can I just pull them out with the handheld fully intact? Is this some standard stick form factor with replacements that I can buy on Ali or is it a proprietary Retroid design? I'd really like to replace the caps with convex ones.

>>10395306
>Yes, but you can just pirate them. It's not like I'm gonna log into my bank account on a chinkheld, so I don't care about security.
You do realize that a compromised device on a network is a threat, right?

>>10395913
>my chinkieheld is going to hack my computer!
You're too dumb to offer opinions on technology, stop while you've only moderately embarrassed yourself.

It's impossible to be objective in that regard because everyone wears different sizes of clothes that come with different sizes of pockets. I can fit Switch in the pockets of SOME of my pants while others struggle with Vita.

Steam Deck OLED just dropped, panel is still 1200 x 800 but of course OLED over LCD. Also has a 50wh battery instead of the 40wh included. Supposedly has a new AMD APU inside it called Sephiroth, but outside of efficiency gains it seems to have the same performance for games, so nothing new there.
Cool for new deck owners but I hope the screen gets sold separately.

it will be faster because it has faster RAM. and the APU will have better performance at the same TDP just by being more energy-efficient.

>>10396026
Its official, tons of PC focused outlets got them. They pretty much put companies like Ayaneo and AYN with their Loki into awkward positions with their handhelds. Hell, even ASUS and Lenovo can't compete.

Well, this is the moment when I regret buying a Switch OLED 2 months ago. Even if I sell it now, Nintendo has locked me into their ecosystem. It's not like I can transfer the saves I have on my Switch to the PC versions of those games.

lol, you think I'm gonna pay for those emulators when I can just download them for free? The bank account comment was in reference to the device possibly getting infected with malware.

Which handhelds are the perfect match for certain consoles? Like the rg351p for GBA games.
I know most people want a single device to do everything, but be honest you have more than one.

>>10396110
I personally think that RP3+ is a perfect match for PSP because of its size, aspect ratio and the ability to play most PSP games upscaled and RGB30 is a perfect match for Gameboy, Gameboy Color and Game Gear because of very square aspect ratios that those consoles used (that weren't meant to be stretched to 4:3 like with home consoles) and high-resolution display enabling the use of decent shaders.

>>10396101
>still doesn't get it
>just moving the goalpost
It's an anonymous image board you don't NEED to reply.

>>10393760
The AYANEO Flip DS seems perfect for playing upscaled 3DS games.

>>10394992
The jelOS guys came out and said they will not support the Arc. Seems the beef with Anbernic is real.

>>10396128
The game gear actually had a 4:3 screen even though the resolution is the same as the game boy.

>>10396158
Why though?

>>10396147
So, you completely misunderstood what I meant in my first post and now accuse me of "moving the goalpost" when I explained it to you? You're right, replying to you IS a waste of time.

Pocket 2s or wait for the Miyoo flip?

>>10396189
The Miyoo Flip is going to be another RK3566 so the biggest difference is going to be the 2S being able to run N64, Dreamcast, and Saturn a lot better plus a few lightweight Gamecube/PS2 games as a bonus.

>>10396183
Holy shit you're still trying to damage control your retardation despite being completely anonymous. It's okay anon we don't know your name.

>>10396189
Miyoo flip is gonna suck specs-wise for the price like anything else that Miyoo produces, I don't know why you even consider that handheld.

>>10396202
I said "bank account" in the very first post, you retard. The other anon (>>10395913) understood what I meant from the beginning, why can't you?

>>10396110
On a strictly physical sense, 353V(S) is the perfect vertical Game Boy clone. Too bad the chip sucks dicks and so does the d-pad.

RGB30 for its screen on GB(C), NGP(C) , X68k, TATE, plus comfortable ratio for integer scale fags. Not ideal buttons, but much better than expected.

X28 is a serious contender for best horizontal handheld design, or at least it would be if the sticks weren't defective. So comfortable, so perfectly sized, so tragic. Also slower RAM compared to other T618s.

RP2S is the best fit for Dremcast as the only cheap chinkheld with analog triggers and a chip fast enough to run it.

Flip is RK3566, works for weaker stuff but leaves you hanging on DC and N64. I'd go 2S, but keep in mind T610/8's 6th gen capabilities are massively overblown. I got smelee running smooth on 1 on 1 matches, but it doesn't really like 4 player matches or adventure mode, for example.

I regret getting a Steam Deck. Fuck Valve liars.

When you buy something on the Google play store that app is saved to your account.
You can then log into that account on other devices to download the app you bought.
You already realize this which is why you switched from crying about logging in to crying about not wanting to pay for emulators.
Why are you so dedicated to being this retarded?

I'll take it if you don't want it.

I don't really care for anything past psx/n64. I tried gc/ps2 games on my phone and everything looked so small, those games were made for bigger screens.

How is the dpad on the RP3+?

Do you think it would be possible to play either the OG World of Warcraft with a private server, or the OG Maplestory with a private server, on the RP3+?

The only thing that sucks dick so far is that the OLED screen will not be an easy "drag-and-drop" solution, at least according to Valve in a recent PC gamer article.
>https://archive.is/UcaTX
>If you have anything like my tinkering soul, the first thing to occur to you the instant you heard Valve was making a Steam Deck OLED was about whether you'd be able to buy the screen from iFixit—in the same way you can buy the top LCD Steam Deck panel right now—and drop it into an original Deck.
>Sadly, it looks like that's not going to be a thing… but that's obviously not going to stop people trying.
>"Because of all these changes and improvements," Deck developer, Lawrence Yang, explains to me, "the parts are not swappable with the Steam Deck LCD unit."
>"We'll still sell, and make available all Steam Deck LCD internal parts for repairs and replacements. But for the most part, because we changed so much inside, there's not as much back and forth swapping that's going to be possible."
>So, I ask the obvious question… can someone buy a Steam Deck OLED module and drop it into their existing Steam Deck?
>"I'm sure people will try it, but it's probably not going to go well," laughs Yang.
Granted you can plug the Deck into any number of OLED displays, and there's portable OLED monitors too. And its not like that stopped people from releasing that 1200p screen upgrades for the Deck either. But until more videos come out showing that it can be done with no issues whatsoever or some company releases an equally doable screen OLED upgrade, LCD owners are going to be left out for now. Thankfully the game performance doesn't seem to be worth upgrading.

spent waaay too much on the kyogre sp

>>10396169
Can't find anything so I'm just guessing but it seems Anbernic added features from JELOS to stock fw or just preloaded jelos itself on stock SD. maybe on RG353PS since that's when support got dropped. If you read their FAQ they make a big deal about it

>>10396307
>>"I'm sure people will try it, but it's probably not going to go well," laughs Yang.
Planned obsolescence. Thanks Valve!

>>10396321
That's not planned obsolescence.

>>10396321
That's not what that term means.

Trying to get pico-8 working on my trimui model s (well ok powkiddy a66). Some guy made an emulator for minui, but the only thing I can actually get it to run is celeste. Does anyone have any experience with this?

Peomises powkiddy he'll fix the x28, STILL burnt out. (Fix it, you lardass, wtf?)
>Retrofw bros
Oh? Your shipping rg300's and rs97's with our firmware now? Make sure you edit the rootfs files for devices with different ram timings bro.

>>10396369
You need the official commercial pico-8 vm to run most things.

>>10396372
>Gammaos chad
He says he might do Arc's Android, despite not having figured out how to do the 353's he also said he would, which is what that thing runs. Guy is all over the place.

>>10396403
I'm still waiting for him to do the 405v. Literally all he needs to do is get the fan running. Idk what the hell is taking him so long.

>>10396393
Oh yeah that's another thing, the main website seems to be down. Not sure if it's them or if I've got some weird shit going on on my end.

can't wait to play retro games in OLED

You can already do that.

I'd like to play through a Japanese game through my RP3+ and stream it to my PC so I can use its OCR to get the words. What's the best way to stream the gameplay? It's a retro game of course so no steam link.

>>10393018
If you don't have to fuck around with the top screen it is pretty easy. The hardest part in general DS Lite maintenance is not breaking the top screen's flex. Shit's very flimsy.

>>10396510

>>10396463
There's also Ayaneo's vanilla Air/Pro and the Pocket Air. D-pad while still fine isn't in an ideal position for 2D games though like the Vita. It just feels "okay" like for the Odin.

>>10396563
That's what I'm trying to do, but android OCR is too clunky with the RP3+

>>10396510
Why not, can't you just run it as non-steam game?

>>10396576
Not that I've seen. And to tell you the truth, I don't even use steam

Am I the only one who thinks the new Deck isn’t all that hype? Yeah, they fixed the screen and the battery life and basically every problem people had with the old deck, but that’s all for the $549 model at minimum. The Deck’s biggest advantage was its massively lower price compared to stuff like the Ally and the dozens of Aya Neos. Now it’s sacrificing that price advantage, just to be on-par with the other machines spec-wise, except in the one spec that matters, which is raw performance. Who’s gonna want to pay ROG Ally prices for a device way weaker than the Ally?

>>10396608
I feel the same. While I see the point to extra battery life, a minor thermal headroom and performance bump and something with actual software at the expense of jumping up a tier, it's just for people who were gonna drop $550+ on UMPCs. No VRR either. Deep down I'm glad my Deck didn't get obsoleted, but it's a disappointing display.

>>10396620
Though I must add, I still don't trust Asus to support the Ally even if they supposedly fixed the spicy SD reader.

>>10396608
It's OLED so there's no way it was going to come at the same cost as the original lowest model. If you want a budget PC handheld, you get the LCD model now.

I like the ability to play Dreamcast and PS1 on my RP3+, but playing consoles from a certain gen on in handheld mode feels weird. Do I just have autism, or have I lost something not playing these games on a TV?

>>10396608
No other machine is shipping an OLED panel, especially a 90 Hz one at such a price point. The closest thing we have is the Aya Air 1S and that has a 6' screen that overheats to high hell. ROG and Lenovo still cost more and have worse power efficiency and battery life so fwiw, the Deck is undisputed. Getting 20% less performance but double the battery life is a good tradeoff for most people, tho Valve are jewish for having a cheapo model where they can dump their old parts instead of making that OLED too.

>>10396608
those types of devices are too comically large
(for now)
imagine what they will look like in 10-15 yrs anon
coomlectors will be hoarding the launch model out of nostalgia

>>10396712
I like 'em big.

>>10396712
>coomlectors will be hoarding the launch model out of nostalgia
Nah, to resell and nostalgia. Hopefully Steam as a platform dies soon. Just die like Mystpace did.

literally whats the point of all these $200+ modern retro devices when the 3ds already exists???

>>10396815
Try playing anything on it and you'll find out.

>>10396818
yeah your point? it can play everything from gb to 3ds flawlessly plus game gear. thats literally all you need lmao.
and as a bonus - you get nes, snes, genesis, neo geo, turbografx, atari 2600, and even a shitty but functional ps1 emulator.
and as a bonus bonus - if you are lucky enough to have been a kid when it came out like me, you got it for christmas for free some 10 years ago!

>>10396834
MOOOOODSS! THERE'S AN UNDERAGED KID HERE!

>>10396834
Shit emulation, terrible controls.

>if you are lucky enough to have been a kid when it came out like me
Out.

>>10396815
The kicker is they are starting to whine for dual screens to emulate ds games. The fucking cognitive dissonance in this thread is astounding.

>>10396815
it's uncomfortable and it's pretty expensive if you dont have one

>>10396834
Wow it goes up to ps1. Like a $30 chink handheld. Amazing.

>>10396836
I just got back from buying a 6 pack at the corner store. You are old.
>>10396837
>Shit emulation, terrible controls.
Says who? All of those consoles i just listed emulate perfectly except ps1 and thats really bc it's just a novelty bc why would you be playing ps1 on a 3ds anyway. 3ds is perfect for emulating any retro handheld and has more than enough buttons to accommodate different control schemes.
>>10396838
>dual screens
Thats another great point i completely forgot to mention!!! DS and 3DS emulation on anything other than the original hardware fucking SUCKS bc of the touch screen. You cant get any better than the real deal for the hundreds (thousands?) of dual screen games released from 2004-2019.
>>10396848
You can get a 3ds xl for like $150 on craigslist/fb marketplace, then homebrew it and never have to purchase another game again! The 3ds xl or n3ds xl are both much more comfortable than the original one i will concede. Your hands get a bit too cramped and i dont recommend buying one of the original models, but the xl models feel great.
>>10396856
Just threw in ps1 bc it's cool that people got that to actually work, but really the value is how it plays all gens of nintendo handhelds + 90s console emulation perfectly.

>>10396838
It’s almost like people would rather play on a new handheld with new components instead of a decade-old dusty POS

as someone with old man eyes, having essentially a big game boy with a larger, brighter screen, more space for my gnarled withered fingers, a better battery life, and even optional video filters to emulate the original game boy's screen so that my dilapidated brain doesn't become frightened of change is very kind

>>10396863
>but really the value is how it plays all gens of nintendo handhelds + 90s console emulation perfectly
Again that's a $30 chink handheld, with the exception of 3ds. But if you go up in price a bit you can get stuff that can do psp emulation as well.

>>10396871
But why would you want to spend $30 on a shitty chink emulator when you can save up a bit and actually run these games natively on a real dual screen w touchscreen? I just dont get the 3ds hate.

>>10396875
I don't hate the 3ds, but if I wanna emulate anything it can do other than 3ds there are cheaper options, unless you already own one.

if you wanna play 3ds and ds it's the best option, anything else it's not great lol 3ds/ds library isn't that great either tee bee aitch

>>10396875
>I just dont get the 3ds hate
There really isn't any. It's just that the console excels at non-/vr/ libraries.
For something like the GBA to the SNES, a smaller device with a single screen feels a bit more intuitive and natural. I think it's overkill using my big 3DS XL to play original GB titles. Just my preference.

>>10396868
>a better battery life
Give it a few months/years.

>>10396815
>>10396834
You answered your own question oh so eloquently. Thank you for these posts.
Also, sorry, but the analog slider is a fucking piece of shit and always has been, only done worse by the PSP's slider. The DS and 3DS family are all uncomfortable to hold except for the original phat DS, which has the worst specs but the best d-pad of all time. I can't fucking use a 3DS for more than thirty minutes before it just fucking hurts to hold. MOST of these modern chinkhelds have better ergonomics than any Nintendo handheld made between the og NDS and the Nintendo Switch.
Signed, someone who's spent almost the past thirty years playing them. I've added a few more since taking this pic.

>>10396886
Idk sgb Gameboy games on a n3dsxl is awesome. Plus you can play dual screen game & watch games natively. Iirc it also has a nice handful of scummvm games playable. For an all in one Nintendo handheld, it's basically the most solid thing to have, plus its got a few nice extras.

>>10396894
>Give it a few months/years
Damn, he's only gonna get years of good battery life on that 60 dollar console with a replaceable battery. That's ruff.

>>10396903
My favourite device to hold; SF-2000
My favourite device to actually play; RG35XX
My current device I'm using; The R36S
Honourable Mention; My favourite Famiclone is the RetroMax. It is just the most comfortable and highest quality Famiclone you're gonna get, with the RetroMini being a close second place, though it's more focused on GBA emulation than NES romhacks.
My next purchase; Either the R33S or, just maybe, the Retroid Pocket 3+.
