/vr/ - Retro Games

This baby is being hand delivered to my house tomorrow, and I'm gonna get to work to making it into the ultimate GBA player. All I really gotta do after removing the top half is solder one of the speakers to the main board and solder a chip to cancel out the circuit going to the top screen. I'm so excited... it's going to have the PERFECT horizontal form factor, the BEST d-pad ANY device has ever had in the history of video games, and both be able to play physical GBA cartridges and roms via my EZFlash IV I already have. Any GB or GBC titles I wanna play can be converted to .gba files.

RGB30 or wait for the Miyoo Flip?

>>10400914
And, if I'm feeling REALLY ambitious, I may even do a custom shell to fit a larger, better screen. But the plan at the moment is to just get the NDS, remove its top, and solder one of its speakers to main board along with the necessary chip to kill the one circuit.

>>10400904
>WE MAKING OUR OWN RETRO HANDHELDS NOW
Sauce?

Also, nobody cares about the GDK Pixel anymore, Game Kiddy is just too fucking slow and overpriced with their shit for anybody to care even that they basically made the RG Nano but actually good.

>>10400937
It's honestly as simple as just ordering the raw parts you want, knowing if they're compatible and how, then ordering a custom circuitboard to be made. The hardest part of the entire process is properly designing the shell for it, as most places will just give you a shitty 3D print that isn't cleaned up when commissioned. A lot of these chinkhelds even come from pcbway.com/ itself.

>>10400953
It's no more complicated than building your own computer outside of you having to solder the parts together and designing your own case/shell, unless you really want to use a pre-existing one like I'm doing with the og phat NDS. Who knows how it might evolve with time, might even try to put in a whole new circuit board with an RK3326 due to how available they are, turn it into the ultimate GBA device with incredible fast forwarding capabilities and different filters.

>>10400942
It's extremely silly have super-secretive they've been trying to be about it too in an attempt to build up hype, but all it's done is made everybody get bored and forget about it, especially considering it's meant to be a "better RG Nano" and the RG Nano was so catastrophically bad that Anbernic doesn't even display user reviews for the device on their website anymore. A shame because this device looks pretty fucking solid, but it's going to be so fucking out-dated by the time it releases and incredibly overpriced.

>>10400904
>>10400914
Ultimately this is the plan, though the exact screen isn't cemented in brick, it all depends on what screen would best fit in that raised bezzle on the og DS's bottom half and will scale GBA games specifically, and how easy it is to add it to the original DS's circuitboard without too many modifications to make it work outside of cutting the shell to make room.

>>10400914
there is no way you unironically think this hunk of junk looks good right? this is satire of how a reddittard would act right?

>>10401050
Who cares if it looks good? This is purely about functionality and ergonomics,

>>10401065
that’s a good mentality but i need looks. call me shallow

>>10401084
Focusing purely on whether something is aesthetically pleasing to look at is the entire reason why the DS family went from having the single best d-pad ever fucking made to that shitty + pad trying to copy Apple appearances. I don't care what the device looks like as long as it functions well and just feels comfortable to hold and use.

>>10401114
there is no way the d pad on the ds was that good. i remember having one and didn’t think it was that crazy. but then again i just game i don’t autistically focus on the feel of my controls.

Want a handheld where I can play PSP and PS1 in bed, and want it to have bluetooth audio support. Cheaper is better, any suggestions?

>>10401136
It all comes down to preference, but when it comes to those who prefer a d-pad that just reliably clicks into all EIGHT directions, chef's fucking kiss and a rimjob to his hairy asshole as well. The og phat NDS d-pad is the single best clicky direction input of all fucking time, and it was designed that way intentionally knowing it would have to function for 3D inputs as well (despite their shortly lived lame attempt at launch to encourage people to use the thumb-strap and touch screen for analog control, the d-pad was just so fucking fantastic and hasn't been met since). Literally the only issue anyone ever had anywhere with it was the fact that Nintendo retardedly placed the power button above the d-pad, so some players would either accidentally hit it muscle-memory believing it was the Start/Select button, or just hit it by accident while pressing up on the d-pad due to how close to it the Power button is. But that d-pad, holy fucking shit is it just the best.

>>10401146
Just get a PSP, unironically, and plug headphones into it. You will be able to do any physical or emulated PSP title as well as any digital/rom of a PS1 game. Don't let something as stupid as wanting bluetooth wireless earbuds from stopping you from the otherwise ideal system for your needs.

>>10401146
>>10401160
Unless of course you have no plans on playing physical UMD PSP games, and can afford a Vita. In that case, fucking get a Vita and enjoy PSP, PS1, Vita, and PSN titles all running as they should.

>>10401175
My vita broke but my PSP is still going strong. What are the best games to play in bed. That being said, the vita does not handle PSP or PSX games as well as the PSP did. Resolution is all fucked.

>>10401160
>>10401175
don’t listen to these anons. native hardware is NOT the way to go for ps1 emulation. you don’t get fast forwarding or good save states like load undo and save undo. it lacks the modern quality of life upgrades to capture a “pure” experience when it’s substandard this day and age.

>>10401192
...The PSP and Vita are not native PS1 hardware, you retarded donut. They both emulate the PS1.

>>10401192
>You can't get the pure, organic original experience unless you have the very modern fast forwarding, load undo, and save undo features
You need to hand your mother's iPad back to her right now, I don't care who's fucking her at the moment.

>>10401232
esl dumbass that is exactly the opposite of what i said. vita gives you an experience akin to the original experience without any of the quality of life improvements. do you understand now retard?

>>10401243
You need to hand your mother's iPad back to her, right now. I do not care who is fucking her in the moment.

Don't listen to him anon. I ain't even into DS mods, but fact of the matter is this is ten times cooler than any of the $3 999-in-one bricks most people here talk about

$3 999 in 1 bricks mog this nintendoslop.

>>10401292
>Don't listen to him anon. I ain't even into DS mods, but fact of the matter is this is ten times cooler than any of the $3 999-in-one bricks most people here talk about
Frankly the fact he had to butcher a DS Fat invalidates any good thing about the "mod". He literally broke a console. That's just dumb.

>>10400953
>No sauce. Just fantasizing.
I know. I'm just fucking with you.
Designing a shell is trivial for anyone with even rudimentary design skills. It's true that few, if any, kiddos connecting memeberries to display modules and shouting "Look mah! I built a handheld!" have even those. But that's only a problem for them. The only real problem is producing the housings. 3D printing can work for prototyping, but isn't viable for even a small run of any sort of quality. Other methods are beyond the means of said kiddos in terms of skill and cost. So you just end up with someone with garbage skills printing a garbage design on a garbage printer that results in a garbage^3 housing .There are other methods that give good results and are viable for small runs. I do a lot of milled aluminum and thermoforming. But no one is going to pay those prices for a fucking pi in a box.

>>10401327
>He literally broke a console. That's just dumb.
The console has been broken for twenty years. You're just dumb, and illiterate. I mean look at the fucking photo and read the fucking posts, it's not that fucking difficult.

>>10401327
One, it wasn't butchered, it was already dead.

Two, let's be honest. These aren't exactly rare systems that people are clamoring for, in fact they're literally Nintendo's highest selling console.

DMG gameboys are some of the most hardmodded handhelds in existence, but despite them being over 30 years old you can still find untouched ones on ebay and in shops for cheap. The Nintendo DS isn't gonna be hard to find any time soon, and we're more likely to see them start dying from hardware failure long before console modders render them extinct

>>10401405
>arguing with coomlectors
forget it bro, it's like talking to a wall

>>10401327
If you can salvage a console through mods, then you aren't breaking it. Plus its just one DS model out of plenty, and even then it's not like DS emulation is impossible either.

>>10401405
>Two, let's be honest. These aren't exactly rare systems that people are clamoring for, in fact they're literally Nintendo's highest selling console.
The Fat would be considered rare. It's my autism overall though. You can do whatever you want because you don't know me. I'm an Anon bitching impotently at you on a Norwegian Fish Smoking BBS.

>>10400914
The ds bottom screen is pretty rough. Also ive heard people complain about the power button placement.

Aliexpress has $20 Retro Mini, $20 X6, $15 SF2000
which of these is the best and why?

>>10400904
>>10400914
Why do people do this... the top screen is better. Just use a normal DS

>>10401084
Youre a shallow faggot. Grow up.

>>10401467
Retromini is ALMOST decent but still sub dingoo a320 tier with opendingux beta.

>>10401502
yeah I'm thinking I might just go for r36s instead
$30 more for something I actually might use seems fair

>>10401506
Question first, do you need the sticks? Becasue the r33s wont have em.

>>10400904
look how they massacred my boy
>>10401182
>my vita broke
im scared now anon

>>10401513
will the r33s have wifi?

>>10401532
puyo @ wonderswan

>>10401513
I don't, but it gets my order over $100 which activates the $15 off coupon for today

Who will win the chinkshell wars?
>Miyoo flip
Sticks.
Maybe transparent options
Wifi
>Clambershell
No sticks

Most likely wont have wifi knowing zhou
Chip unknown, but expect the arc's chip

>>10401545
Like the other models, you'll need a dongle

>>10401580
mind sharing a good combo? only thing i seen is a usb wifi + usbc adapter and ends up looking dumb.

When's the AliExpress sale

>>10401292
>$3 999-in-one bricks most people here talk about
Schizophrenia or illiteracy?

>>10401669
started an hour ago, at least for me
main thing is $4 off per $20 spent, and a coupon AEUS15 (or a different code for your region or if you spend above $200) that gets you a further $15 off. note that they can stack
some prices are also a bit lower but it's usually only like 50 cents to a dollar off the normal price
I ended up saving about $30 on my order

>>10401658
Do you any idea how much people like clamshells? (Sp sized) the v90 is a true piece of shit only above those psp looking x6/7's and the sf2000, but powkiddy doesnt need to order a new one. It does THAT well.

Thinking of picking up an ambernig rg35xx during the sale
Is it completely obsolete by now?

>>10401740
I'm gonna get one too, 80 aussie dollarydoos seems fair

although the r36s is cheaper and better, maybe I'll get that. don't know what os support is like on it though

>>10401740
it's pretty good if you're primarily aiming at 32 bit(minus Saturn) and lower gaming, especially considering it's off the top of my head the cheapest of these devices to have reliable HDMI capability which is an added bonus

>>10401778
Whatever the rg351mp uses, that uses. Speaking of which, does anyone else think metal is retarded for handhelds?

what's some other cool shit I can get of aliexpress at the same time? might get some 1 dollar sunglasses and some freemcboot memory cards as backup for my ps2

Why would anyone poat in your thread when we all know you'll just throw a tantrum and delete half of the fucking thread?

Go to /vg/ faggot

MinUI dev on the trimui smart pro:
>I like it. It has the trademark Trimui design, build quality, and button feel, just a larger screen and more powerful processor. I have yet to throw anything especially challenging at it though (since I'm mostly only interested in up to the PSX Final Fantasies). I wish we could get the RGB30 with this level of build quality because the wide screen is kind of wasted on the systems I play (though Game Boy Advance, Virtual Boy, and Pokémon mini really take advantage of the extra real estate).

>>10401875
the bands i listen to dont have merch kek
>>10401841
ironic answer that still is bretty good?
silk underwear
pins
they dont always look like the photo but they are cute as fuck 60-80% of the time
also memewar patches
i was addicted to temu for a bit & dhgate

>>10401898
keyring IS in there
but i opened it in an autistic way so its hard to tell its not sealed still
i had the same one as a kid but green
still a reasonable alternative to real game & watch hardware and basically 1:1 versions of the games
i wish they made more of them honestly

I fucking did it. Now I wait.
I should be able to resell the one I don't want easily I think. Right??

>>10401969
just hoard them both like the rest of us
one of us
ONE OF US

>>10401924
>the bands i listen to dont have merch kek
maybe the games you play then?

>>10401146
I think the r36s can do psp. The more recently released trimui smart pro can as well, although apparently it struggles with the upper end of graphically intensive psp games. But it has the form factor of a ps vita

>>10401917
>we're getting minui
Hell yeah. I hope someone properly ports pico-8 onto it this time.

>>10401996

>>10401682
>$4 off per $20 spent
Does that mean you get a $4 coupon if you spend $20, or does it make a $20 order a $16 one, a $40 order a $32 one, etc?

>>10400914
>destroying consoles

Holy cringe

The coupon code md12 gets you a discount from mechdiy

>>10402042
Thanks. Somehow the extra 10 was enough to make me take the gamble.

>>10401146
A PSP Go or vita

>>10401182
I'm just replaying cave story in my PSP fat , really looks good on the psp screen

Should I get an RG353V? I want to play retro stuff but want sticks for N64 and PS1

>>10402256
If you need the form factor yes. Otherwise go for Rp2s, more powerful for same price

>>10402005
>>10402042
>>10402132
Nice, hope you post your impressions. Won't pull the trigger until I have read more impressions.

>>10402367
Also, again from the minui dev:
>shauninman: The sticks are fine. L2/R2 definitely require too much pressure to push. But their impact has been overstated given the systems this thing emulates.

Got my RGB30, finally. Really love the screen, sticks are kinda meh compared to the RP2S, but I only plan on using this for Gameboy anyways.

But the load times are… jesus. It takes 15 seconds to turn on the device, which sucks for a device with no sleep mode, and 5 seconds just to load a GBC game. I’m running the stock JELOS, but I heard that the stock firmware was actually good this time around. Would updating JELOS or switching to ArkOS help at all with the load times?

>Retroid Pocket 3+ 135 bucks
wtf should I get 10 of them or what. I was gonna wait until february (chinese new year) to get it for cheap.
o-or should I wait for the Pocket 4..?

>>10402256
>I want to play retro stuff but want sticks for N64 and PS1
then if you want vertical yes ofc. I got the RG35XX because I don't care that much about N64 games and PS1 are just fine without sticks. also I wanted a more compact device.

>>10402395
Don't fall for the "wait" meme, just grab and enjoy what you have available now. Because with the RP4 you'll probably be waiting for the RP4+ later on

>>10402256
353V sucks for N64, seconding the RP2S.

>>10402391
Yeah, stock JELOS is ass, update. Used to have really long loading times for games when I tried it on the 353 months ago, but it works fine now.

>>10400914
Good lucky, anon.
Also for people who wants something like the anon is trying to do you can buy from aliexpress the finished device

>>10401740
I have decided to not consoom ambernig and wait for the miyoo flip.

>>10400904
i dont get the point of ds macros original gba is much better with a screen mod, original frontlit sp screen is better too

>>10401405
>These aren't exactly rare systems that people are clamoring for,
no but the hinges on fats are extemely weak because the palstic turns brittle with age and it was already weak at launch you shouldn't be cutting up one with an okay hinge, the chinks dont make good replacement shells either so good condition fat ds's are gonna dry up

>>10400921
i hate to bump my own question, but i'd like to ask those out there who have an RGB30, would you also buy a Miyoo Flip when it's available or is that redundant?

>>10401182
>the vita does not handle PSP or PSX
it can be made to look at lot better with sharpscale https://www.gamebrew.org/wiki/Sharpscale_Vita

>>10401969
>I should be able to resell the one I don't want easily I think. Right??
no you will keep it and use it once then order another device

>>10402527
gba games were not made for IPS

>>10402567
i dont have an ips screen i have ita which uses the panel from a dsi, it has pixel gaps and everything, it looks great

Just saw this on aliexpress some dslite case kit, think its made of acrylic though not sure how nice that'd be ergonomically https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005969458974.html

>>10401114
The original DSI one wasn't that bad despite how it looks, it's pretty clicky and responsive. Better than the GBA dpads imo.

>>10402610
they finally made one that uses mx4sio instead of usb sticks

I can't play anything newer than the PS1 portably. FFX on the go was a weird experience, I guess I don't like having to 'focus' on story and cutscenes on the train. DMC3 was hard to hone in on too while trying to execute some of the higher effort strings. Made my fingers cramp up as well. I think I'm gonna stick to the PS1/Saturn/N64 era and older as far as home console portable game play goes. New portable stuff like the GBA is still great. I wonder if this is just a 'me thing' or if other people feel similarly.

>>10402527
This picture is going to be a hilarious when it’s shown in a court room.

Not sure a Retroid Pocket 2S's HDMI-out is supposed to do this!

Android seems to be working properly underneath the surface, it reports itself to Windows as a Retroid Pocket 2S when plugged into USB-C (connection is noticeably finicky, stops responding/disconnects itself constantly, not sure if this is just Android), so I don't know if this is just that smashed screen doing something stinky. Maybe something else got busted up along with the screen?

I'll probably just beg customer support for a refund and buy another off of Amazon at this rate.

>>10402610
Still smaller than the steam deck

Do any of those ~10USD clones of Famicom etc support savestates? Not interested in getting one, just curious if some of the cheaper devices have somewhat unexpected functionalities.

>>10400904
What is the average battery life of the Powkiddy RK2023 Wi-Fi? Also, what is the Maximum type of Micro SD card that it can take?

>>10402623
Try something more casual or arcade style. You can't focus 100% outside so voiced RPGs or hard action games are a bad choice. If you really want to play a RPG go for something turn based or grindy you can put down easy like a book

>>10402553
I'd buy a clamshell if it had a good chip, I'm sick of the RK3566. No point even pondering an unreleased chinkheld, wait for reviews.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005635047657.html this is currently going for 15 dollars

>>10402410
the thing is I already got the RG35XX 1 week ago. its really nice for 15min breaks on the job + pocketable.
I want a RP3+ in the future to use it as a home retroconsole / long trips, but I can wait a few months for that desu. short term I'm already set with the RG35XX and I guess I can wait 3-4 months for the RP3+ or next horizontal KING.

>>10402794
I can only guess the analog will just have minor use for MAME.

>>10402623
Plenty of home releases got portable ones. Maybe your specific handheld is heavier/too wide compared to a controller making various things feel off.

>>10402623
Same here. I only play on plan rides and in bed though so my hangup is even less reasonable than yours. For myself, I think it’s somewhat influenced by my never imagining anything from ps2 forward as something i wished to play that way. Like as a kid I always wanted my snes and then ps games to be playable on the go. A bit later that ceased to be as appealing so my imagination never engaged with it.

>>10402824
The dreamcast had a single analog stick didn't it? I doubt this could run it though.

>>10402882
It's listing fourth gen and GBA, I'd guess the MAME stuff is attached to that gen too.

Should I just get a vita instead of a chinkheld?

>>10402967
What do you want to play

>>10402967
no.

>>10402967
Not for emulation, no. For the OLED and PSP and Vita games (lol), maybe.

>>10402995
>>10403004
I'd love to play MGS1-3, Peace Walker, and be able to run the N64 library.

>>10403018
It's hard to find an OLED one for a reasonable price

>>10403026
The Vita is an amazing device for anything PS1, PSP, PSV, some of the best PS2-3 games run on it (MGS2&3), Ninja Gaiden, etc.

Also amazing for 8bits, 16bits... tons of ports (quake 1,2 - Doom, Diablo... a shit ton of indies...)

The device itself is probably the best built device you can get, it feels so damn premium...
That's actually why I can't play with these chinkhelds.

But N64 specifically will not run great except for a few games like Mario64 and Mario Kart, don't expect to play anything made by RARE on it. You'd better get a modded New 3DS if you want to play Ocarina Of Time on the go...

>>10403036
damn, is there anything thatll run everything i want thats not a steam deck or steam deck clone?

>>10403068
Get something in the 200-300 dollar range.

>>10403068
The Odin 2 is $299 and runs everything up to ps2/gamecube including ds and psp games.
The Odin Pro is $199 and can run some ps2/gamecube games, but will not struggle with psp/ds.

Anything good on Ali's 11/11 sale?

>>10402759
The v3 x18s has a t618 and someone got it for 95 for the sale. Problem is,
>Better than previous models, but still horrible android build
>No devs even know there's a v3, so no custom rom to fix it

>>10402424
Sucks how? Performance?

Also can anyone confirm if the thing is comfortable? I know vertical can be kind of a crapshoot

>>10402610
Playstation button icons are trademarked
If they don't change the icons this can be seized by customs as a counterfeit Sony product

>>10403121
Its worth stressing too that Odin 2 can run PS2/GC games at higher resolution. I dont think that the Odin Pro can run PS2 games any higher than 1.5x at best IIRC.

Any chinese singles day sales?

>>10403465
How do countries known for piracy etc in brick and mortar stores just sell such hardware including fake controllers etc publicly? Laws and enforcement are lax I guess?

>>10403536
Lax import rules, corrupt customs officials, no major presence from the affected corporations, protectionist favoritism, limited trademark laws compared to the West, or any combination thereof
Or, the easiest way, they manufacture and sell in the same country without importing/exporting shit

>>10403457
353V runs N64 fine in my experience but it works best through Android and not the CFW/Linux. Bad performance on DK64 in ArkOS, just fine through Android

>>10402967
Vita is 11 years old man, just get something new. if you really like the looks and premium quality, Trimui Smart Pro just came out (I got my shipment notice this morning)

>>10403465
Those are real PS2s modded and reshelled in a portable. The buttons are likely fake though, doubt they would chop up real PS2 controllers

I can't decide between the pocket 2s or the flip. On one hand, the 2s is cheaper and smaller, but the screen isn't wide enough for steam link or for psp games. On the other, the flip is clamshell and has a wider screen, but has those terrible slider joysticks and awful speakers.

>>10403627
They're (hopefully) using a broken DS. Broken top screens are super common problems for phats and lites because of the shitty hinges, and this is a good way to reuse them.
You can broken ones for like $5.

>They're (hopefully) using a broken DS. Broken top screens are super common problems for phats and lites because of the shitty hinges, and this is a good way to reuse them.
Hinge problems are over exaggerated by people who were careless with their consoles and kids.

>>10403683
Brick ds hinges literally degraRetroid flop had shitty plastic before they fixed it,de over time thanks to the plastic. The first batch of ds lites had shit hinges too.

What's the best vertislop I can get today during the AliExpress sales?

>>10403748
R36s. Is the rgb30 vertislop? I cant tell.

>>10400904

I bought an odroid go ultra on sale and the buttons and speaker suck, the 400 in 1 chink brick I bought for 8 bucks works much better. Also ali is having their 11.11 sale right now and you get 5 leafbucks bucks off every 20 bucks spent. I just picked up a miyoo mini plus and an sf2000 for 80 leafbux.

>>10403683
I get that you weren't alive in 2004, but don't just lie.

How do you remap ares' controls on Steam Deck? It doesn't recognize any input.

It is extraordinary and an eternal shame on the pirating community that in late 2023, there is STILL no way to easily buy a handheld device that plays everything pre-5th gen perfectly. Everything has some problem to it. I mean this should have been possible in 2013. By now we should be having fifth and sixth gen emulated and an out to a HDTV and an in for a dual shock controller, so we can easily switch to tv like the Nintendo Switch.

>>10402391
Update JELOS or switch to ArkOS; personally I find ArkOS snappier to boot/use so I stick with it. Don't like how JELOS has emulation settings outside the emulators themselves, makes it annoying to configure them myself.

>>10403036
don't expect to play anything made by RARE on it

I was able to beat Diddy Kong Racing, Banjo Kazooie and Donkey Kong 64 on the Vita, Ocarina also performs well enough.

in 2013 Dolphin was still seen as a premier extremely demanding emulator

I never tried one of these chinkhelds, so I don't know where to start and start cheaply. I wanna focus on anything that can play PS1, arcade (like, say, Punisher and Aliens vs Predator), GBA, so it's either the Miyoo Mini+ or the Anbernic RG35XX. The Miyoo Mini+ looks to be a decent choice, but none of them have Bluetooth. Should I just invest in a cheap wired buds?

t. tourist

>>10403910
why do you want bluetooth? to connect your earbuds or something like that?

>>10403910
The one's with t618 have bluetooth and depending on what you're playing, might runarcade better.

>>10403930
Yeah. I have a wireless set of buds and I want to use to to connect to the chinkheld and play with audio on the go.

Will there be CFW for the new trimui horislop?

>>10403949
Minui alpha.

>>10403910
Get the Miyoo Mini+ and get some 1MORE Pistons, best wired earbuds you can buy for $12.

>>10403910
>Should I just invest in a cheap wired buds?
Might as well.

>>10403910
give up on bluetooth audio unless you're willing to go over $100

is there any reason to buy a rg35xx when I have a v90 and old 3ds? yeah PS1 would be cool but I don't need it.

>>10404061
Sounds like you already know that there isn't.

>>10404068
hmm v90 definitely leaves something to be desired but I'm guessing rg35xx does too, being vertislop/uncomfy. but it does look cool

>>10403845
>I experienced these handhelds in person
As did I and about 10% of the global population of the time, which is why I know the hinges could snap through normal use. Reggie even commented on the problem himself, confirming it was a design flaw. There's no need to defend the multi-billion dollar company anymore.
And while lites were far worse, metallic plastic becomes brittle so much faster than other plastics, so phats were at risk as well if you used yours into the lite's reign. God help you if you got a silver lite to replace it like I did.

CHINA IS ASSHOLE

>>10404089
>There's no need to defend the multi-billion dollar company anymore.
Why would I defend Ninetndo, let alone for free? I'm no Janny or fool. I mentioned on here before that I worked at Gamestops for years and saw plenty of Phats, lites and XLs and the only noticeable hinge destruction were consoles that obviously belonged to kids. You are right about the metallic shells being brittle though, but that's the entire shell usually. GPS is a well known problem with certain colors of plastic.

>>10404096
>obviously belonged to kids
If it was designed properly that wouldn't matter.

>>10403627
I really want to do a DS video-out mod, but only if i can find one with a completely fucked or missing upper screen.

>>10404096
And yet the GBA SP didn't have this reputation. Curious, that.

>>10403910
try out the FAAEL Iris 2.0's, they're 10usd and have really good quality sound for earbuds. I use the no-mic version with all my retro handhelds. They have a 90 degree jack too which is nice for handhelds that have the headphone port on the bottom

Just got this Wine Red DSi XL.
Pretty much zero yellowing of the screens.
Ordered a 32GB SD and going to have tonnes of fun.

>>10403995
Before I hit buy on the Miyoo Mini+, is there anything I should be wary of, like fragile build, some quirk in the buttons, etc.? I'm not giving this to a child, but in the event the console gets bumped into something, it might break.

>>10404192
It'll have a screen protector in the box, make sure you put that on. That's the only big point of vulnerability on the device is the screen

>>10404194
Gotcha. Cheers, Anon.

>>10404184
I recommend highly the game and watch games

>>10404162
You can use the DS slot just fine, and several emulators and homebrew have options for "macro mode" to just use the bottom screen.
Hell, you can even set up a switch to toggle between screens.

Anyone have that list of chinkhelds that compares them really well?

Anything better than the R36S for the price? Willing to pay a little more if it gets me something better, but it really does seem like it's the best thing even above it's own price range.

>>10404275
imo next highest leg up would be a retroid pocket 2S at ~$100

>>10404209
>You can use the DS slot just fine
Not to play ds games.

>>10404313
Depends on the game. There are quite a few that only use the second screen to display a map or HUD. If you setup screen swapping, you don't lose anything with those.

That data will be alongside the pictures in the range. 4Chan clearly needs another chart.

I have a mod that adds bluetooth audio to old devices. It should work just as well on any of these new chinkshit emulation devices. It's about 1/2 the size of an SD card so can fit in just about anything. Never installed it in one though. I don't know any poorfags.

>>10404462

>>10404350
Odin 2 basically seems to be the current end game for chinkheld devices yeah. Nothing wrong with wanting a bigger sized device either, but if you can still play tons of games then there's no real point in spending money than you should. It's not like that's a bad device either.

>>10404583
>It's not like that's a bad device either.
Oh yeah I'm totally satisfied with what it can play. I just find the buttons on the small size since it uses vita size buttons.

>>10402536
>no but the hinges on fats are extemely weak because the palstic turns brittle with age and it was already weak at launch

So basically it's already doomed to fail so preserving the hinge is a pointless effort?

Setting an anbernic up for a friend who doesn't really have handheld experience, asked if there's anything specific he wanted and he said he's fine just dropping the full rom libraries in so he doesn't have to worry about installing new ones if he wants to play something he doesn't have

I already have pretty much all these libraries on a hard drive already so I was happy to do it, but goddamn, Skraper is absolutely fighting for it's life right now

>>10403910
Same anon. I bought the Miyoo Mini+ transparent black and ordered a Samsung EVO 128 GB micro SD card. Wish me luck, anons.

>>10403910
I'd say go with the Anbernic RG35XX. People will say the dpad sucks, but unless you're doing pro-level gameplay that requires extreme precision it's more than good enough for anything you wanna throw at it, and the buttons/triggers on the RG35XX feel a lot better imo

Also RGC is doing a promo thing so you can get one with a free hardshell case for less than $70 on amazon, I got one for a friend and it's a pretty good deal. His promo code's 20RGCPROMO

not necessarily ive had gba sps where the plastic is so brittle you can squeeze it a bit and it falls apart and others that are fine. old plastics are retarded. if chinks were making good ds fat replacement shells i wouldn't mind them being cut up to make gba macros. you should repalce the top lcd on that one and keep it as a ds and order another with a fucked hinge they aren't hide to find

Same firmware as last time. They took it down from onedrive and put it back on.

>>10405984
Pocket 2S 3G/32GB is the value king of all chinkhelds right now with a chip being able to squeeze lightweight GC and PS2, premium-ish build quality with hall sticks and analog triggers, best Android build short of Ayn (you don't value this until you try others), good d-pad, face buttons have a weird travel at first but you get used to it.

RGB30 is weak and cheaply built, but has a really good looking 4 inch 1:1 ratio 720p screen for GB, NGP, TATE (it struggles on 2000s content hence the RK3566 needs to die already) and your general integer scale needs. Not the best buttons but expected a lot worse, liked the d-pad better than the 353's which everyone circlejerks.

TrimUI Smart Pro (I'd stay clear until people beta test it proper and a CFW is established for sure) is even weaker but has a premium look and 16:9. More ergonomic?

Pocket 3+ is the stronger sibling of the 2S, 16:9 screen, a little better at 6th gen but still comes short. Supposedly same button quality as the 2S.

Out of those, I own the 2S and the RGB30. RGB30 has been hoarding my time but if I had to pick between the two, I'd go with the 2S hands down.

>>10406078
>Pocket 2S

Quality

I'm enjoying my RG35XX but it's uncomfortable for anything that uses trigger buttons and even GBC games aren't that comfortable to play.
The thing is it seems that build quality comes with increased power and price. I don't really need more power.

>>10406078
>>10406095
To be honest the RG35XX was my "testing the waters" chink handheld.
The Pocket 2S seems to offer everything I wanted, and with the 11/11 sale and a discount coupon it's 100 bucks on Aliexpress right now so I might pull the trigger.

>>10406105
The RP2S is a literal brick with a small screen though.

>>10406116
Are you implying that it's not comfortable or that it's ugly? Because if it is the later I don't give a fuck.

>>10406121
It looks good, but there is a reason why people buy external grips.

>>10406105
The 128GB model is $99 on goretroid, the discount was supposed to end yesterday but it's still up, go figure.

>>10406124
I don't need it, but I don't mind bricks at all so YMMV.

despite being a dpad-centric experience i find that it's not quite hadoukenable or shoryukenable and it fails the contra test

>>10406165
i hate him saying that so much but i also perfectly understand what he actually means by that
should've been born an SNK fanboy so he could say not power waveable or not power dunkable and it fails the metal slug test

This has been my first weekend with the R36S. So far, it has been kino. I expected the build quality to be worse, but besides some plastic parts that are a bit jagged on the edges, like the trigger buttons, the rest is very decent. The screen quality is surprisingly good as well, probably its best feature. The first time I held it in my hands though, it did not feel right, it was not very comfortable. The face buttons and the D-PAD didn't convince me either. The D-PAD feels a bit mushy and took me a while to learn to press it correctly without unwanted inputs, and the XYBA buttons aren't the best either, although they feel better than the D-pad. The triggers and start-select buttons are extremely clicky and loud, which is not ideal either, but I'm rarely using them so I don't mind that much. However, after hours playing i got used to all these quirks and I barely notice them now, and I found a way to hold it comfortably as well. The biggest suprise has been loading The legacy of Kain for Dreamcast. I was expecting unplayable levels of frame drops and choppy audio, but the thing just runs at constant silky smooth 60 FPS!!! My jaw almost dropped. Kino is back on the menu.

It really doesn't need a grip, I've been using mine for a couple weeks and forgot they even sold grips for it

>>10406554
Seems like you've lost your grip to me.

>>10406554
I think I'd use the grip if I were mainly playing 3D games but yeah I haven't felt any explicit need to use one while playing most things. It aids in comfort but, again, mostly if I'm using the sticks a lot. 2S is a nice system if it doesn't arrive BROKEN like MINE DID

>>10406560
*crickets*
>>10406565
I play mostly 3D racing games and I still keep forgetting the grip exists. If someone tried to hold it like an xbox controller, with both their middle fingers on the triggers and index fingers on the shoulder buttons it could definitely be uncomfortable, but it's designed to only use your index fingers for both, like the switch or switch lite, with your middle fingers underneath the bump supporting it.
sorry yours arrived broken though anon I hope that replacement works out :(

These things are already pretty cheap all things considered. I can't imagine a sale going any cheaper without outright losing them money

>>10406985
The 35XX isn't too bad when you consider it's basically just a GBC with less of an ass. That said, if you want a more comfy vert, the rg353vs is a pretty good option. The 353v technically has better specs but realistically you're not gonna wanna use it for higher than PS1 anyways since vertical isn't really great for heavy stick and shoulder usage

Might still be worthwhile for people who think the Arc is too big, but the bigger screen and ergonomics are more than worth it for me personally.

where can I get a dsi xl for a good price that also doesn't have yellowed screens?

>>10404418
that would be the t310 (RP2+, RP3) THO actually it would be the rk3399 in the rg552 technically, but no one cares about that shit

>>10407210
I got it on my country's version of ebay, for a very good price - probably because it was a japanese model(doesn't matter that much if you install custom firmware) and it had a non original stylus and charger cable
I recommend trying to look for jap models, they seem to go for cheaper

how the FUCK did valve get the refreshed deck to weigh 25g less when it has a bigger battery and a bigger screen

I got one off of Ali a few weeks ago, but it’s only the three default colors

Denied a refund due to them already sending out a replacement screen, they claim replacing it will fix the issue. My second 2S is already on the way from Amazon and arrives tomorrow and the screen is being sent through 4PX so it'll arrive at the beginning of the next ice age.

Someone needs to make a timeline style chart with handheld pictures as examples of chipset. Add a line with every console in order of emulation difficulty alongside the list.

How does pico-8 run on a nano? Can you install the official version like on other anbernic handhelds?

those of you with mini+, do you actually play much ps1 on it?

>>10407850
Not really, playing 3d games without a joystick feels weird to me but anything 2d is fine, just like megaman 8

>ultimate gba
>its a half broken ds and you gotta deal with borders around the screen and 2 useless buttons
Trust me bro, the ultimate gba is either a backlight(oem) gba sp or just emulate on a nice handheld.
But a ds bottom screen from a broken unit? Im telling you right now the yellow tint and vignetting will make you regret wasting your time on this. Thats if the screen isn't filled with circle scratches.

>>10408769
RG35XX now has its GPU support. Which means it’ll fuck the Miyoo into next year.

>>10400914
Why remove the top screen? It protects the bottom screen, and will allow you to play DS games too

https://youtu.be/d5CUKjijXDw what do you think of gogamegeek? any experience with them?

>>10407692
New one works, at least. Nearly threw it against the wall when R2 didn't register on the built in gamepad test app but apparently it's a common bug or even one that effects all systems. Sticks are perfect, no wonkiness. This also confirms Android is running just fine on the other 2S that's broken, so maybe it really is just a broken screen.

>>10409840
Good for you anon, hope you enjoy it.
How many RP2Sisters are here (or plan get it)?

>>10406749
PSP for me

>>10409870
I thought about getting one but I'm well aware I'll just keep playing Pokemon and my RG35XX is more than enough for that.

How's nokia n-gage emulation? I wanna play the obscure elder scrolls games.

>>10409906
Wouldn't know, but I've owned the N-Gage and TES sucks on it. Coming from Morrowind I was extremely disappointed.

>>10410012
Well I'm not expecting morrowind, I mostly want to play them for the sake of it. Same with redguard and battlespire.

>>10406749
Fuck me, i loved and owned both the DS and PSP. Best Handheld for games: The DS.
Best Handheld for everything else: PSP.

>>10410037
Nta, but shadow key is lackluster, but still enjoyable, in the sense that it still feels like an elder scrolls world. Very Morrowind lite vibe. I assume you also want to play tes travels dawnstar and tes travels stormhold? They are dungeon crawlers, not open world exploration, think wizardry but not as hard. You can play them on anything that supports the j2me Java emulator.

Is there a way to put a cfw like miyoocfw, adam or miniui on a shit device like the retromini rs90? I love this little fucker but I would love to have a better cfw than just opendingux.

>>10410057
Didn't even know stormhold was a thing, but yes dawnstar and mainly shadowkey were the ones I was interested in. I'll look into it.

>>10410070
Ohh sorry shadow key cannot be ran on a Java emulator, but you probably already knew that. There's a symbian emulator that should be able to run shadow key

How important is “screen accuracy” to you in emulation? I’m a GBA kid, but every “accurate” GBA shader set seems to just wash the fuck out of the colors, so I tend to just leave the visuals untouched when I’m playing GBA. I can believe that this is what the GBA looked like back then, but it just seems like wasted potential when you consider what the game itself is capable of.

>>10410090
I have a GBA with an AGS-101 screen so I just always try to compare and get them looking as close to that as possible.

>>10410090
Just took this for comparison

>>10410090
>I can believe that this is what the GBA looked like back then
Well, no. The OG GBA screen was it's own breed of bad. Taking an emulator screenshot and muting the colors won't give you the "true experience".
I subscribe to the philosophy of Do Whatever The Fuck You Want. If a game looks good without filters then leave it alone.

>>10407718
>Can you install the official version like on other anbernic handhelds?
Afaik you can only use the fake08 libretto core.

...and STILLLLLL the UNDISPUTEEEEED horizontal champion of the wooooorld... RETROID POCKET 3+

>>10410090
Grid filters are a must for me when playing Game Boy games, but fuck colour "correction". When I got my DS Lite back in the day my eyes just about popped out, I couldn't wait to replay all my GBA/DS games with vivid, unmuted colours. Same goes now playing GBC stuff on my Mini+.
>b- but the developers-
just do what looks best to you, always

What are we playing today fellas
I got into the mood of some FG so I clear the arcade route of red arcuied on MBAC

>>10410139
I want to get it but the chip is outdated as fuck.
Why do they keep recycling these

>>10410335
Are you confused? The RP3+ has a T618 which is pretty good for everything below PS2/Gamecube. It's still perfectly relevant for its price range.

>>10400904

>>10410335
>>10410352
I will love a Retroid Pocket 4+ for 185 bucks, capable of ps2/gamecube and below with the RP2+ sticks and no bigger than the RP3+.
a man can dream

>>10410065
Open dingux beta is the only cfw for that thing sadly. I tried it on my rg300 and thought it sucked too.

>>10410428
It WILL be bigger and it WILL still be too underpowered to fully run Gamecube and PS2 and you WILL buy it.

>>10410440
*buys the RP3+ then*
hail to the king

>>10400904
i just got a power bank for my phone and i'm having a better time with it :-)

>>10410090
>fighting game players, fps players, speedrunners
they stick with timing and low input lag, the former two often sticking to tn displays(aka having the worst colors etc), obviously not emulation wise
somewhat in the same sense, speedrunners can ignore stuff like vc due to different timing, and official hardware like the super game boy can get ignored because it's slightly inaccurate except for a specific revision
some emulators(being said as "good") i've come across can give no shits about timing too, like 59.xx vs lazily using 60, audio being affected as well
people can also dislike the ds lite due to blur, but you posted an rpg/pokemon anyway, no idea what applies to you

>>10410129
That's a shame. I haven't had good luck with the 3rd party emulators/simulators.

>>10410221
steamdeck and odin are both horizontal devices lol

>>10410496
and both are +300 bucks, not portable and fucking bricks. there is only 3 categories: vertislop, horizontal, brick.

>>10410515
yeah sounds like some rules you made up for yourself and thats okay

>>10410490
The RG Nano also doesn't have wifi so you wouldn't be able to use Splore even if it could run the native Pico-8.
For a lot of people that probably isn't an issue but I find browsing through Splore very comfy.

>>10410515
Brick is a modifier not a category. Odin and steam deck are horizontal bricks.

>>10410583
