I like the RGB30

>boyhom still hasn't shipped the R36S I ordered two days ago

chink'd

>>10462692
I wish you could use onion os on this. fuck android

RG35XX Plus is all you need.
Emulation above PS1 is trash.

I was worried about the G-cloud underperforming and costing too much,
But i've been playing a ton of armored core, ace combat, legacy of cain via emu no problem AND starfield, vampire survivors and World of warcraft via streaming.
8/10 with the only issue being price.

>>10462696
it runs linux

>>10462740
>G-cloud underperforming
Bruh it has a Snapdragon 720G. It's not going to knock the sock off any flagship phone, but it's a hefty chip with a good amount of power behind it. It could play a reasonable game of Genshin, which is more than what most handhelds in this general could do if their processing power was doubled overnight.

>>10462728
If PS1 and below is all you need, then the normal 35XX and MM+ are enough.

>>10462774
so i can put onion on this?

>>10462692
I’m honestly SUPER mixed on it compared to my RP2S. For GBC, the screen size is better, obviously, and the RGB30ms colors seems a lot more vibrant. But when I switch to a GBA game, for some reason it flips the other way around, and the RP2S has the better colors, while the RGB30 looks washed out. It’s honestly kinda baffling.

Also, mine freezes mid-gameplay once in a while and forces me to reset the console, which is my biggest problem with. Is this because I’m still using the stock OS card?

>>10462728
>Emulation above PS1 is trash.
Contrarian nonsense.

>>10462789
>normal 35XX
Worst D-Pad Anbernic has ever vomited out.

>>10462692
You fuckers keep making me want one but I'm broke.

You are fixing the physical issues of the console one by one. There was some publication criticizing the dpad on the basis of it being too small. I think that. instead of putting tape on the buttons themselves, it would probably work right if you put them under the dpad's butt, but I don't know how It looks yet. From your picture it looks like the tape is barely doing anything, is not thick enough to raise the dpad.
Hopefully you can think of something to fix the L2/R2.

>>10462847
>Is this because I'm still using the stock OS card?
most likely, back it up before it dies

Pisscord news: stand in for anon edition.

Early beta for GammaOS for the 353 series now out on Retro Handhelds server. Haven't run into issues on 353V yet other than what he mentioned, pretty good.

ArkOS dev: "not adding anymore devices for support as arm has too many pitfalls", "3566 gave me the boost on arm I wanted".

>>10462692
It's deceptively comfy and sturdy for a cheap brick. Can't say I get Pico8 though.

>>10462847
>the RGB30ms colors seems a lot more vibrant.
They are, stunning for chinkheld standards even with the lightbleed at the bottom.
>But when I switch to a GBA game, for some reason it flips the other way around, and the RP2S has the better colors, while the RGB30 looks washed out. It’s honestly kinda baffling.
Got shaders or color correction on the core turned on? I assume you changed the color temperature on the RP2S, doesn't look piss warm enough on that pic.

>Also, mine freezes mid-gameplay once in a while and forces me to reset the console, which is my biggest problem with. Is this because I’m still using the stock OS card?
Why are you on stock card? Did you update? Also make sure to skip 20231124, that release fucked up battery metrics bad, personally I'm staying on 20231116 until they give up fucking around with the battery.

>>10462881
I love it, but with the RK3566 issues and QC odds I wouldn't recommend it for more than $60, plus 3 extra colors and supposedly a metal version (why) are still to come out.

>>10462931
Is gammaOS better than arkos?

>>10462951
Also, ZPG A1 Unicorn could be an alternative supposedly sitting around T618 specs and with a disc d-pad.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an79wFO8Ug0

>>10462960
It's Android, can't be compared.

>>10462951
>Got shaders or color correction on the core turned on? I assume you changed the color temperature on the RP2S, doesn't look piss warm enough on that pic.
They’re both using the dot.glslp shader. I set the RP2S to increased contrast, but that was just to counteract the washed-out look that GBC had, and it STILL looked worse.
>Why are you on stock card?
I don’t have any spare SD cards right now. I just updated to whatever the latest version is, but honestly, the battery life is the least of my problems right now, though that’s also worse compared to the RP2S. And that’s not even mentioning the sleep mode.

>>10462695
My Retroid Pocket 3+ order I placed on the official store on 27th has not been fulfilled yet either :(

me? waiting for the m*yoo flop

>>10462728
Is this the newest cope of bottom feeders? My RP2S can emulate Dreamcast flawlessly.

>>10462847
The first rule of owning any chinkheld is throwing away the useless unbranded SD card they come with.

>>10462978
Are you making fun of the miyoo flip or are you actually waiting to get one?

>>10462978
Hello, cancelled

>>10462931
>"3566 gave me the boost on arm I wanted".
that chip drops frames when playing n64 games, not to mention all emulators that come with arkos have game-breaking bugs on it.
I tried playing the N64 version of Rayman 2 on every emulator on ArkOS on my RG353PS back when I had it and the second level was impossible to complete because a switch wouldn't trigger no matter how many times I shot at it.

>>10462789
Normal 35XX doesn’t have WiFi so no retroachievements.
Plus the battery, dpad and triggers are much nicer on the plus.
Miyoo is shit straight up.

>>10463000
So that's their secret behind their optimized cores.

>>10463006
achievements are cancer, it's bad enough when modern games have them but adding them to retro games is next-level faggotry.

>>10463012
Gives me stuff to do that I probably wouldn’t otherwise do

>>10463014
come up with objectives and complete them on your own.
you have no sense of imagination or self-control if you need a popup to tell you that you did something cool to feel a sense of accomplishment or prevent you from cheating at it.

>>10463024
NTA but nobody "needs" it, it's just fun. I like having them on with no notifications so I can check on my progress later when I'm bored and see what achievements I've earned from just playing normally

>>10462986
both

Man the trimui smart pro really does lose basically no battery when it's in sleep mode, it was at 61% when I went to sleep and it's at 61% now. But what system you're in does matter, when I put it to sleep when I was in the middle of an n64 game it burned about 6% overnight, so save state and exit out of the game before putting it to sleep for a long time.

>>10462829
Probably only when GarlicOS 2.0 gets released.

>>10463014
>Gives me stuff to do that I probably wouldn’t otherwise do
How is "wasting time I otherwise wouldn't have wasted" a good thing?

achievement: playing this old game with frame drops, shit input delay, bad display, etc on a chinkshit handheld

>>10463147
>shit input delay
Most chinkhelds dont use android

>>10462829
JELOS and ArkOS only.

>>10462963
Tried to match your settings, increased contrast, 50% brightness, mGBA, OpenGL and dot.glslp. Image looks about the same, fairly certain you got color correction going on.

I prefer automatic and cold temperature for this screen, personally.

>but honestly, the battery life is the least of my problems right now
Oh no, it was actually a fire hazard tier problem, as in battery metrics went completely off the rails as opposed to the usual guesswork, like a charged device reporting 0%. It's supposed to be fixed now, but fuck if I'm touching JELOS updates until I'm 100% sure they're leaving the battery part alone.

>>10462979
Wouldn't say flawlessly, but pretty good.

>>10462960
Should add in case you're not familiar with RK3566 based chinkhelds, Android has much better power management and can actually idle and sleep as opposed to Linux. Still not worth the $20+ tax though.

>>10463006
>so no retroachievements.
Does that shit even work offline? I hear it doesn't.

Analog without clamshell bother me, it's like you could needlessly damage it if it could snag somewhere and prevents pocket. Regular controllers also stick out but they can be replaced new whole. I just like the idea of maintaining for several years without issue I guess, even if someone else owned it.

Ktr1 finally showed up

>>10463173
>Wouldn't say flawlessly, but pretty good.
Which games don't run well?

How chuckled is a conditioned charles for actually giving a fuck about retro achievements? Do those types of people even understand what achievements in video games are actually fucking for?

>>10463220
Wow, that plastic quality sure makes it look like a fisher price toy.

>>10463237
>retard saw thumb pads and knee-jerk thought, "The whole thing looks fisher price".
Welcome to the internet, kiddo. When someone typically says something looks, "fisher price" it has a specific aesthetic, quality, and colouration to it. Nothing about that image looks, "fisher price". So the only reason why you would have fisher price so much on the mind and seeing it everywhere is because you're still a fucking toddler who's usually surrounded exclusively by fisher price toys. You're like the grandmother on Facebook who replies to corporate ads saying, "my grandson likes this product".

>>10463240

What's the name of this handheld?

>>10463286
Excuse you, you have violated ethics.

>>10463286
And that's a good thing. K101+ was fucking awful, with mismatched screen ratio and glitches while scrolling in many games.

>>10463291
Those are not hardware clones of the DS but emulation devices.

>>10463297
>K101+
The... The K101+ is a GBA clone that can play physical GBA cartridges. We're discussing DS clones.

>>10463303
...If you want a hardware clone of the DS why not just get a DS and replace the screens? No seriously, why don't you? If you just want a DS, get a fucking DS. You can already emulate literally any 3DS, DS, GBA, GBC, GB, SNES, NES, and some N64 games on any 3DS model.

>>10463285

>a comment means someone is mad
i'm sure /v/ did all sorts of things for achievement popups for about 2 decades, doesn't mean they ever escaped "bad at games" or are decent as a whole at a /vr/ genre like fighting games

https://youtu.be/n9YngJ9_pxA the days of dpad supremacy are numbered.

Odd things have been happening. Yesterday I tried to capture footage from my Retroid Pocket 2S using a cheap chinkshit capture card that I have. That capture card can normally capture sound through its HDMI port, but it doesn't work work with RP2S for some reason (even though sound through HDMI or DisplayPort works when connected directly to my monitor). There's also a 3.5mm jack on it, ostensibly meant for microphone input. So I've been using that 3.5mm jack by connecting it to the 3.5mm jack on my RP2S with a male-to-male cable to record in-game audio. It worked well with OBS once I configured the appropriate settings in PulseMixer (I use Linux), but yesterday it just stopped. No sound at all, not even the minute interference that was always there even when there was no sound playing on the RP2S at all. So I tried reconnecting the audio cable, the HDMI cable, the USB cable and so on to the capture card a few times. Then I got sound working, but no video signal. Then I tried connecting my RP2S to my monitor through an HDMI to DVI cable. I got no signal there either, so I surmised that either the microHDMI port on my RP2S or the microHDMI adapter that I use with it must be broken, because that same HDMI to DVI cable worked with other devices. But then I tried that same HDMI to DVI cable again today, and it started working with RP2S again. And now the video capture also works on my capture card, but THE SOUND IS BROKEN AGAIN! So I'm back to exactly where I started.

Maybe I should get a good quality Elgato capture card instead to avoid dealing with this bullshit. I actually have enough CeX credit to buy it without spending any real money. Does anyone here know if Elgato HD60S+ can capture weird resolutions like 720x480@60Hz that RP2S outputs well?

>>10463305
You're unable to read context clues. I implied that because their GBA clone sucked, they are unlikely to make a good DC clone.

>>10463309
I don't want a DS clone. That >>10463286 anon wants one. I have a New 2DS XL and play all of my DS and 3DS games on it.

>>10463370
*DS, not DC

Should I get a Steam Deck, Lenovo legion or Rog Ally?

I really wanna play PS2 games but I'm poorfag as fuck

I've been considering getting a mini PC that can play ps2 games

Anyone knows what would be the cheapest option to be able to emulate PS2/GC games?

>>10463286
Max is still interested in the k2ds. He has the funds, now he just needs a reason.

>>10463006
>retroachievements
Who gives a shit?

>>10463361
sound issues seem like linux if you've ever come across them otherwise
video seems like cable randomly being a bitch, probably less chance the adapter
the card itself might be doing shit too if it had problems before

>>10463375
It doesn't take much to emulate PS2 or GC games. Steam Deck can do it, so ignore those higher tier handhelds like ROG Ally if you're on a budget. Any mini PC with a Zen 2 or newer CPU should be up to the job also.
I hear the recent Xboxes aren't bad either but I haven't tried it myself.

>>10463391
also possible audio cable issue

>>10462695
I bought 3 R36s from that store (one for myself and a couple presents). Alliexpress has horrible tracking. Use parcelsappa

Any stories of people having shipments truly disappear?

>>10463370
>Their GBA clone sucked
There's more than one company in China, my dude...

>>10463390
Unironically zoomers who grew up with achievements and trophies being in literally every video game they play. They can't play without a ding confirming to them that they are progressing. Their entire generation was raised on this "gamification" shit.

I'm going to get my odin 2 until mid december isn't it...

>>10463436
No Chinese company other than Anbernic ever even considered making a DS clone, my dude...

>>10463240
What does a vagina taste like?

>>10463375
If you seriously consider devices like Steam Deck, ROG Ally or Legion Go and have money to buy them then you aren't really a poorfag. If you live in a country with decent second-hand electronics market, then the cheapest way to play games PS2 is either an old office desktop PC with at least 2nd gen i5 modernized with a GTX 750 Ti running Windows or Linux or an actual PS2 with CFW. Depends how much you care about accuracy and compatibility vs. image quality and convenience, really.

>>10463509

GPD G5A. One of the better chinkhelds of 2014

>>10463604
When will Retroid and Anbernic go the way of JXD and Dingoo?

They started making UMPCs after all western hardware companies gave up on that concept and had a monopoly over that market for a good few years.

chinkheld for playing games up to PS1?
I'm going to offer a nephew a chinkheld. I've owned a lot of stuff since the Dingoo A320 days, but settled on a rp3+ and haven't looked at the chinkfest for a while.

The new Anbernic 4 inch Sega style handheld is almost perfect for my needs. But they don't make the cheap ARC-S version in black, and I don't buy pseudo retro handhelds with android and touch screen, so the premium version is not for me. There is always something that Anbernic manages to screw up.

>>10463358
I would honest to god hope that better controller support for Android is coming to the Pocket Air in a future update, but its Ayaneo so who knows.

>>10463375
Like one anon already suggested to you, there's tons of mini PCs that could emulate PS2/GC games. But if you're a poorfag and want a handheld, grab a second hand Steam Deck because the LCD models are just dropping in price.

>>10463796
I was going to say the RK2023 but I think you can actually find the TrimUI Smart Pro for close to the same price.

>>10463524
Salty milk and coins

>>10463796
Forget about chinkhelds, just get him a hacked Vita if all you care about is PS1 and below.

>>10463830

What are some good mini PCs for PS2? Was thinking on getting this

>>10463767
Who bought a Shield handheld to watch Netflix? Are you thinking of the set top box that came after?

>>10463884
He might be confusing it with the shield 2. Which was a tablet.

>>10463524
Honestly not that great. I ate a ton of rank puss over the years, now i'm done with that, even with my wife. Maybe on her birthday.

god i hated prism because of how they made dungeons enormous and sidescrolling. Also how many damn times do I need to fight team prism

is there any way to replace 3ds/ds screens with higher resolution screens?! I know it sounds stupid :( I just can't look at the screens that fuckin small resolution is hurting my eyes

>>10463874
That's the right kind of performance bracket to look for.
I have a 5500U laptop and it emulates PS2 games great with 2x or 3x upscaling depending on the title.

>>10463832
Second hand vita? Also, define good screen. As far as chinkhelds goes, you can choose between the trimui smart pro or the powkiddy x55. Notwithstandings discount coupons, the former 80$, the latter is 100$.

>X55 has clicky buttons
It was so close to perfectio

Is Steam Deck OLED truly a good idea for /vr/ gaming?
I don't want the screen to burn in due to windowboxing, and I'm concerned about scaling.

>>10464121
Black parts of oled are turned off
you don't get burn in from that

>>10464128
I'm afraid that the 4:3 window in the middle is what will burn in.

>>10464136
It won't. Burn is from elements that are constantly on screen. A constantly changing 4:3 image is nothing to worry about. A bigger worry would be if you always have the Steam Deck status bar on screen showing you your FPS and TDP and other info. Not sure if its a good idea keeping that constantly up on the OLED like people did on their regular Decks.

>>10464191
Even in that situation, you would probably have to have that information displayed on your OLED deck 24/7 for like a year straight to experience burn-in. And in that situation it'd probably come from displaying the same image/game on nonstop during that time.

>The chip is slightly too weak for 3D saturn
No, not slightly, severely.

Why does the rg35xx plus grey version lack the grey bezels on the screen that the original had?

>>10464501
They probably wanted to make the bezels look smaller because that's something every handheld Youtuber fag jerks off to.

Looking for a good Phantasy Star II hack. Recommend me one guys, please.

I just got my miyoo mini plus but its so uncomfortable to hold for more than like 15 minutes of play, I don't think I can return it should I just try to sell it?

>Burn is from elements that are constantly on screen.
this is not exactly true since oled burn-in is cumulutive
if a subpixel has been turned on for too long it'll die, no matter if it was occasionally turned off
that's what people call burn-in
that said it will take 1000s of hours until it gets to a point where it will actually be noticeable while playing

>>10464760
Hinges in many units of that handheld broke after a few weeks of use btw. There was also a special color edition that cost extra but was also extra susceptible to hinge issues due to the kind of plastic used. One person whose unit broke like that wanted a replacement and Retroid said that they don't make them in that color anymore and offered to send a cheaper unit. They wouldn't refund them the difference in price either.

>>10464771
How are they corrupted?

Fuckers were taking suspiciously long to ship my Bittboy so I cancelled the order... and got like $11 for free for doing so. But there's nothing on Aliexpress I want. I already have the R35S and R36S.

>>10464807
This looks cute

>>10464807
Boggles my mind why people censor their details like that instead of the black rectangle method. Yours is not so bad, but I've seen many where a person with enough determination would be easily able to make them out.

Made it through AliExpress' Black Friday sale without buying any chinkhelds. Came real close on a $32 RG35XX.

>>10464896
"or something"

>>10464741
why do you need a service to tell you you're achieving something? it's a game, you play it, enjoy it, finish it. that's it.

>>10464857
same, I had it in the cart with my details and everything. waiting for some cheap horizontal alternative.

>>10464938
why do you need a game to tell you you're finishing it? you play it, and stop whenever. that's it.

but about achievements, a lot of older games have collectibles or secrets but don't actually keep track of them. it would be nice if there was a non-faggy retro achievement system, because I enjoy collecting all of them, not just saying "well that seems like I got them all, good enough".

>>10464696
Eventually, the Miyoo Flip aka the Miyoo 355 will come, as will the Aya Neo Flip, in due time. Time will tell.

>>10464964
Anbernig Flip will be better than both of those since they're not putting unnecessary sticks on it.

>>10464978

>it would be nice if there was a non-faggy retro achievement system, because I enjoy collecting all of them, not just saying "well that seems like I got them all, good enough".
Do it yourself, lazy fuck. And I don't mean write a program, I mean just make a checklist, you're not better than a doctor or a pilot, they use checklists. Why can't you?

>Btfo
NTA, but still, that's not how you win an argument, nor does saying it automatically make you or your opinion better. Fuck off, King nothing!

>>10465091
>I mean just make a checklist,
What if there are things aren't aware of? How can you have a checklist if you don't already know everything you are looking for? If instead you started a game and had something that told you there are exactly 20 collectables in a certain area, you'd know if you missed something.

my checklist
>have fun
>dont use achievements for games that didnt have them

>>10465284
That's the fucking magic of making a checklist; YOU CAN ADD TO IT.

>>10464804
The sheer lunacy of demanding an internet connection to play retro.

>>10465367
But knowing the total beforehand saves a lot of time. This is especially helpful if collecting things is tied to some reward. Beating a level with 19/20 things and not finding out til much later that you missed something feels like shit.

Achievements were only cool during the PS1/PS2 days where they were strictly in-game and completing them let you unlock things like Big-Head Mode. I have absolutely no interest in doing something just for a digital shiny trophy.

>>10465390
I like steam achievements because they show you how many people that have started the game have them. Makes for interesting analytics.

>>10463796
do what this anon >>10463830 said.

you can get a used vita under 100 usd on ebay, i recently got a pretty mint looking one for 95 usd with charger and sd card. no scratches on the screen and its a lot more premium than any other chinkheld. You can do PS1/PSP/Vita and there are a shit ton of Android Ports for games like GTA, Bully, Max Payne, etc.

https://github.com/MuxaJlbl4/Awesome-PlayStation-Vita

>>10465393
And you're starting to figure out the entire reason why achievements even exist. It's literally just to track how much of a video game is actually being played by the customers. If literally nobody is unlocking the multiplayer achievements in a new release, chances are if it gets a sequel it will have the multiplayer removed entirely. It's why Call of Duty kept getting shorter and shittier campaigns, Rock Band got easier with less tracks each release, etc.

>>10465068
Nice try, dear nog! KEK. How do you know that?

>>10465408
Devs can track that without achievements. Well without public ones. Most new releases phone home anyway, they can send analytics whenever they want. Achievement data like steam has only really benefits smaller devs that don't want to bother with setting up a server and online shit just to collect data, and consumers.

I want the RG35XX+ but I fear the shoulder buttons will be uncomfortable to use since that is the only reason I would buy it for

You gotta unlock your Vita's clock to even make Borderlands 2 playable, but it makes Gravity Rush without a patch run above 30 fps consistently. A shame about that stretched resolution tho. I doubt overclocking your Vita and trying to run Gravity Rush at the Vita's proper resolution would run worse than it does normally.

>>10465568
I get why the Vita at the default settings didn't run all games great, battery life was still a priority after all. But it was still dumb as fuck that Sony didn't overclock the Vita TV by default, it really would've done wonders for the games that needed it. They just had no idea what they were doing and just stumbled into success by accident with the PS4/5.

Just watched Taki Cuckdon deep dive about the Miyoo Mini Plus, R36S and RG35XX+

Looks like R36S is the clear winner, powerful and best audio/screen and cheaper, also more ergonomic, Miyoo Mini+ has best d-pad but worst screen audio, RG35XX+ is most powerful but no analog sticks kek

>>10466041
That cuck doesn't even mention false diagonals in his review, I don't trust him one bit.

One of my friends just gave me his GBA SP but the shell is totally destroyed. What website is best for replacement shells? and should I try to get an original one or are the custom ones pretty good quality?

>>10466041
>Looks like R36S is the clear winner
Apart from needing to open up the device and physically cut the buttons to make them tolerable, only to end up with buttons that are still worse than the other 3 models', and needing to replace the d-pad silicone with one from a game boy color which most non-autists would have to source individually, only to end up with a dpad that is still worse than the other 3 models'

I love the size/ergonomics of the R36S vs the other, smaller models but I don't know how people look past completely unpleasant controls. I would pay more for a device with A+ buttons than one with D- buttons even if that second handheld could emulate an entire extra generation of devices over the first.

>>10466041
R36S has the worst buttons I've seen on chinkslop. I regret buying one

i HATE putting analog sticks in my pocket
and i dont care if the rg35xx+ is overpowered because that means its probably better at running romhacks and has more battery life

>>10464892
I bought it for hopefully smooth, portable dreamcast, gamecube and ps2 emulation.

I started playing Grandia2 on redream.

>>10462686
Is it normal for an RG353M to have a yellow-ish tint to the screen or should I send it back?

>>10466239
Send it back even if its normal, why would you want a device with a piss screen?

It can be fixed by tweaking the screen, but if I can get one without the issue and no need to tweak I will.

LMAO, no it wouldn't. Stronger chipset wouldn't have fixed the dreadful L2 an R2 or the analog stick range of motion or their inability to click. And with their talent to ruin decent hardware with extremely bad software, I think that TirmUI Smart Pro would lose like half the performance compared to RP2S even if it used the exact same chipset.

I think the trimui devs might have disabled the feature where the fn toggle turns on battery saving mode. Because I can't notice any difference in performance no matter what I have it set to, and even stuff like vibration works on full blast in crazy taxi regardless of what it's set to.

>>10462740

>>10466148
How's ps2?

>>10467071
Not really. You could get Odin Lite for the same price, which has a better SoC and working 4G modem. I know that technically the Adreno GPU in Snapdragon 720G has better software compatibility than the Mali GPU in Dimensity D900, but the performance difference between those two is so big that it shouldn't really matter. D900 in Odin Lite is almost on par with Snapdragon 845 in standard Odin.

>>10466148
>Grandia2
Complete and utter kino, have fun anon. If you see any weird transparency issues you can try Flycast and enable "per-pixel sorting" and the setting that has the word "depth" in it. Redream is better in some ways, but I noticed there were some transparency issues like in The Ring that couldn't be resolved on Redream.

>>10467071
>>10467092
Now that I've looked at it, the base price of standard Odin has also dropped to $199. It's still a bit more expensive than the Lite because it doesn't support shipping with 4PX, but also a good option to consider if you don't care about 4G connectivity and want an Adreno GPU.

>>10467071
>>10467107
Wait, no. Actually, both the standard Odin model and the Lite support shipping with 4PX... so there's very little reason to get the Lite right now unless 4G is a must.

Do you actually finish games on your chinkheld or are you collecting?

>>10467196
I've finished more than 60 games on my chinkheld. Mainly GB/GBC, GBA, PSX, Dreamcast and SNES. A few PS2, Megadrive. Not really keen on NES besides one title or two.
RP3+.

>>10467196
Both. I usually play a specific game on each one, switching to the chinkheld that I'm playing on. For example, I started Sonic Adventure 2 on my R35S, so when I wanna play handheld SA2 I pick it up specifically.

Should I sidegrade my New 2DS XL to a New 3DS non-XL? Are 3D effect and replaceable face plates worth sacrificing the bigger display for?

>>10467196
I 100%ed Rayman 2 on my RP2S a few days ago.

With drastic DS, how do I swap display mode?

>>10465845
why'd you buy a knockoff gameboy?

>>10467196
Yup. Pretty much all of my game playing is done on handheld these days.
>collecting
I try to sell them when I get a new one so I only have one handheld PC, one Linux chinkheld with a cool form factor, and a more powerful android chinkheld for Dreamcast/Saturn/streaming. If they make a successor to this with an rk3588 and a left stick (somehow without compromising the current d-pad position/ergos/front firing speakers. not sure it's possible) I'd be set to just have one chinkheld.

>>10467196

Ugh... just buy a Deck.

>>10467584
I want it for Nights and some DC games, but yeah, it's probably better to just leave it off and have a separate handheld for analog stick. I don't see how they could add a stick without compromising the d-pad position, front firing speakers, or making the shell overly large.

>>10466825
What was it then?

>>10467584
God if the X28 had better sticks, I'd keep mine and highly recommend it as the best budget streaming handheld you could get.

predict price

>>10467942
1 million shekels

>>10467942
Even though 8000 series AMD APUs are on the horizon, there's no way in hell this is going to be cheap. I'm predicting $800-$900 on that's just on the low end.

>>10467621
SotN plays so nice here. The keyboard was a mistake.

>>10467942
1.5k

>>10467942
Given that this is by Ayaneo and has 7840U and 120Hz display, the price will be at least $800, probably closer to $1000. IMO buying a chinkheld like that is a huge gamble and you shouldn't do it if you can't afford another one in case it breaks. I used to have AOKZOE A1 (non-Pro model with 6800U) at one point. I bought it locally. The display started going crazy after a month. It was like the image kept scrolling very fast horizontally and the display contents were unreadable. It happened in BIOS too, so I'm 99% sure that it was a hardware issue. I opened a dispute with the seller and I told him that I refuse it to send it to China for repairs. I sent it back to him instead, he said he would to send it to China for repairs but then said that it wasn't worth the money and refunded me. I really dodged a bullet there by buying it using a website with customer protection.

>>10467990
First time seeing a retro theme one

>>10467990
Ewww

>>10467989
The 8000 series APUs are Phoenix SoCs, aka the same Zen 4 chips that make up the 7040 mobile lineup.
This doesn't change anything for handhelds.

>>10467990
SotN plays nice on everything. The fucking model s could run SotN.
If you're gonna play any DS games make sure you turn off the 4 frame frameskip and rebind all the controls.
Use the sleep feature a lot, it's surprisingly good.

>>10468003
I wish AMD produced more Aerith APUs and sold them to anyone willing to pay the price. They almost certainly have some exclusivity deal going on with Valve and it's hurting the handheld market as a whole because that chip still has the best price-to-performance ratio at battery-friendly cTDPs but all Valve makes are huge candybar behemoths. Oh, what I would give for someone to put it inside a clamshell design...

>>10467996
>>10467998
It is the best one, the other models (black, white) are too homogeneous for my taste.
Save for a handful of titles (Castlevania, FF, DQ, I don't remember what else), playstation is virgin territory for me. If you have any suggestion I'm all ears.
>>10468005
Yes I did. It runs pretty well, but I'd like to stretch the main screen at the expense of the secondary screen.

>>10468024
If you go into the options you can turn on single screen mode, and then bind left trigger to swap screens.

>>10468003
So it's a basic hardware refresh? Man.
Also >>10468017 brings up a good point, Aerith APUs are a must for these x86 handhelds. Even if Windows is a drain on resources, it has to be better than just relying on these off-the-shelf APUs which are just too demanding. Even Mendiceno didn't seem to fill in the void on Windows.

>>10468024
Legacy of kain blood omen and soul reaver. Although blood omen has annoying load times on the ps1 and soul reaver has a better looking dreamcast version that I think also runs on the TSP

>>10468017
It's a well engineered platform. I don't care much for the slab form factor but I'm planning on getting a Deck just because it balances price, performance and power so well.

>>10468026
How did mendocino perform in the wild? I heard very little about it. Quad core zen 2 seems to be a sweet spot.

>>10467840
Every time I try it I just worry that pocket lint is getting inside the sticks or something. Also the RP2S has open gaps under the analog sticks that I assume would let lint inside over time as well. I still bring it with me, but only in my hoodie pocket

I personally like the "retro" color myself, though mostly for the button colors, as I like that wine color.

How would a TrimUI Smart Pro function as a streaming machine via Moonlight/whatever? It seems like it's comparable in size to a RP3+, but a good bit cheaper, so perhaps it's a good deal in that regard?

>>10468035
IIRC Mendocino was energy efficient, but not by much. And the GPU they use is far worse than the Vega 7 one used in something like a Ryzen 5 5500U.

Isn't this better on pc
>>10468057
It is actually bigger than the rp3+ (see https://boards.4channel.org/vr/thread/10454215#p10454845).). For 20$ or more you can get the powkiddy x55 which has a bigger screen tho. I don't think there is any application to stream on the trimui, for now. But If something like that exists for other aarch64 platforms, then I guess it is pretty easy to port.

>>10468092
Yes and blood omen has a better pc version as well. But you can't play those on a TSP. Personally the novelty of playing them on a handheld while comfy on a couch is enough for me.

>>10468092
JELOS which is supposed to be ported to it supports moonlight, and I think some guy talked about developing a standalone moonlight app. But neither exist yet, I wouldn't recommend anyone buy a handheld if the main deciding factor for them is potential future CFW

>>10468106
>>10468092
Dang, I didn't realize how big those two are. I'm not sure if I really want anything that big, but it's always hard to envision it without having it directly in front of me.

Related, I think I've come to the conclusion that my main preference for what I'd like with one of these devices would be:

- Some method of streaming, as that would likely be my main use case
- Decent color options. I'm really tired of black, white, gray, and that horrid blue
- Preferably a good dpad
- Stacked triggers
- Two analog sticks

The closest to a decision I've made is on perhaps a RP3+ or RP2S, but I know the 4 might be announced soon so I want to see what that entails, alongside being unsure if the RP2S screen is too small.

>>10468074
The problem with Mendocino is that even though those APUs have RDNA2 graphics, the graphics core count is ridiculously low (2 or 3 I believe) so those graphics cores need to run at very high frequencies to achieve passable performance, negating all power-efficiency benefits. Mendocino wasn't really designed with energy efficiency as its main purpose, those chips were designed to have small die sizes so that AMD can shit out a lot of them fast and cheap and sell them to OEMs for cheap. It's the Athlon 30##U successor and should be evaluated as such.

>>10462686
Aaaaaaa when will GPD Win 4 hit online stores, I can't wait any longer

>>10468132
They're probably not as big as you're imagining, my TSP is a bit bigger than my phone, and I don't have a particularly big phone by modern standards.

>>10468137
That sort of GPU config is fine to run a web browser and edit spreadsheets, which is what it's realistically targeted for.

AMD have a shitload of other APUs targeting higher segments. Too many.

Worked overtime the last 2 weeks, I splurged and ordered an RG353p and a PowKiddy V90. Now, the waiting game...

What are some good 3D character platformers for the 3DS?
'Cause I can only think of three and one of them is a homebrew port. Ironic, a system with "3D" in the name but focused so strongly on 2D and 2.5D platformers. Even Vita got every Sly Cooper game, which is already more than 3.

>>10468150

>>10468251

R36s is the best gift for someone else, because it's so cheap.
Miyoo has better buttons and OS, you can't notice any difference with the screen unless you're doing a side-by-side and even then it's just color autism.

With the anbernic i think if you want anything dreamcast and N64 you should just get the RP2S, it's only like another $10.
>>10466127
I bought 2 for some kids, that way if they break it I won't be out much money.
>>10466147
I agree about the sticks. That's why I'm annoyed by all these retards who want sticks on the RG Arc. It needs a better chip for saturn, but it doesn't need sticks.

N64, Saturn, PSP, and dreamcast only had a left stick so it was only used for movement. PS1 only used the left stick for literally 99% of the entire library. Ape Escape was the only game that required sticks at all. Thing is, the stick doesn't really benefit movement that much. Just play any of the N64 games that were ported to DS, dpad is just fine for movement and the saturn dpad even more so. Thumbsticks really only benefit camera control which none of those games ever featured. Since N64, Dreamcast, PSP, and Saturn only had 2 shoulder buttons, you can just set the dpad to be the stick, and then for those very few games that would use the dpad as extra buttons like map/item, just make L1+Dpad=dpad.

Id rather have analog triggers on the Arc than a thumbstick.

Real talk I wanted to say you guys could have saved me $50 if you weren't such irritating assholes. I bought the RG Nano because even though I heard all of your criticisms, you all console war, shitpos, t and spam buzzword jibberish so much nobody can take you serious.

So I figured I'd give it a shot and it really is a disappointment. The D-Pad isn't just small but also mash potatoe-y, the 4 buttons are so tiny you have press with the tip of your finger. They should have made this a 2 button system and it would have been great. The OS really sucks ass, no sleep mode, shitty menus, and I can't remap the controls to make it so the shoulder buttons are A/B (which would really help with 1 handed pokemon crystal, which is what I bought it for). Maybe installing funkey OS will address this. There's also no fast forward which is pretty handy in old pokemon. As it stands now I'd rather play pokemon one handed with the miyoo. They could also use a weaker chip and lower the price since there's no point in going past GBC.

Oh well. I've also got an RP3+ And a Miyoo, both of which are awesome (your shit posting about them is part of why I ignored you).

Pic is what it should have been to make a device that would be worth it just for GBC RPGs.

>>10468584
>i bought this useless keychain toy and it's bad
>i also have more useful devices but bought it anyway
You're a fucking retard, bud.

>>10468593
Like I said, if not for the flaws i listed, this would be the best way to have pokemon in your pocket. The size of the device itself is not the problem.

>>10464280
>but the 35XX Plus is now equal to Miyoo in terms of button quality.

>>10468584
where's the start and select retard

>>10468625
Put it on the side, you don't have to press them very often.

>>10467942
GPD Win Max 2's are cheaper and better.

>Everyone said it was total shit

Gen Z, everybody.

Please Retroid Pocket Flip 2 be the endgame for mid priced, around $150-215. But lower to be competitive.
Let it have.
>A chipset of at least rk3588+ power level
>6" screen
>6 face buttons to make other niche handhelds redundant.
>Hybrid Saturn/8- way Vita Dpad.
>A better hinge like PK x18s at least.
And you can take my money. I've been very good this year, and I'm holding back on buying any other handheld until. (Unless a Steam/Odin 2 clamshell happens) But this power level/ price might be right this time.. They may just've cracked it. Let's see if they can beat the Powkiddy ODT in this arms race.

>>10464857
>Came real close on a $32 RG35XX
I got 2 for my nieces Christmas presents

>>10468975
I'd add, Analog triggers and Hall stick. But I would think that goes without saying since RP2S.

>>10467435
Is that thing in your pic any good? Also what game is that?

>>10468982
>uncle anon why doesnt the touchscreen work

>>10469024
Yeah it's fucking awesome as a matter of fact. The game is King Colossus, surprised to find I'm liking it a lot. You can find an english translation on CDRomance if you're interested.

>>10469124
This game looks fucking rad. Gonna download it now, thanks Anon.

Dead pixels guy here.
They are sending a replacement.

>>10469345
Wait, they're actually going to send a replacement? That's pretty cool.

>>10469365
Ye, got the tracking number.
Gonna properly test this time and I think I’ll get a solder kit as the touch pad didn’t work for me. Shouldn’t be hard to solder 3 wires I think.

>>10463220
>you just know...

Does anyone make coloured shells for the EZFlash Omega DE?

>>10464545
battery life is shit
its window based and has no touchpads

>>10466110

Buttons, screen and speakers are the most important parts of any handheld - I don't want a handheld that can play ps2 games if the controls are trash.

>>10468584
Your inability to distinguish shitposts from serious discussion means that you have low emotional intelligence.

>>10468975
I'll never trust Retroid with a hinge again after the Flip disaster. Also 6" is really pushing it in terms of pocketability, even on a clamshell.

>>10469668
The displays are actually pretty decent on R3#S handhelds. But yeah, the buttons and speakers suck.

>>10468975
>But this power level/ price might be right this time.. They may just've cracked it.
what the fuck is this? you just arbitrarily chose a price point and specs to cater to yourself and now you're talking like it's happening lmao

this mental build of yours is definitely not happening either btw

>Get tired of ULaunch and having random RAM errors on my hacked DSi.
>Just restore NAND and dust off my old Supercard DSTWO.
This is much better desu.

To me it's very clear that Retroid Pocket 4 will either be much more expensive than its predecessor or not much more powerful.

>>10469743
I don't think we are going past T618 anytime soon.

controller bros, we fuckin won!

RG35XX bros we are the winners.

>>10468367
>spends enormous amount of money to collect chinkshit

Enjoy your glued sawdust and chinkhelds I guess.

>>10469836
look at all of that wasted space
how anyone can play like this is beyond me
t. RP2S owner

>>10469836
Did they fix the connector from the x2?

are there any chinkshit handheld makers who also do phone attachables?

>>10469867
post pic of your hand tooled rosewood dining set or you're poor

Can anyone tell me why chinkoids are shilling DS on a single screen recently.

>>10469936
Because it's either that or original hardware.

>>10469940
DS Lites are incredibly cheap and if you're unlucky to get a yellowed screen one it's incredibly easy to repair.
I don't think theres an excuse not to get original hardware for DS.

>>10469936
hyperautists managed to get it working on the miyoo mini and as the most popular chinkheld every other must follow along

>>10469943
But the chinks don't get their money in that scenario, you see...

>>10469949
Technically a different set of chinks do as you can only get DS replacement screens off Aliexpress.

>>10469954
Why would you risk buying one with a yellowed display in the first place? If I'm buying used goods and a seller doesn't provide photos of the actual item that I will receive, I don't buy, plain and simple. Purchasing something broken and later having to fix it yourself is extremely stupid, I only repair things that I purchased as working and that broke later on.

>>10469943
but DS screen resolution is so low I would either play on my phone or on a chinkheld

>>10469978
The ratio to DS screens that have gone yellow to those who havent is very high. It is almost impossible to find any DS that doesnt have some yellowing.
The plastic in them was super cheap and after like almost 20 years now it's become very common.

>>10469979
Can't you understand that DS games were made with that low resolution in mind and upscaling them breaks graphics, you shitter? For example in New Super Mario Bros some models are actual 3D models and some are 2D sprites pre-rendered from 3D models. Upscaling makes the first ones look sharper and the second ones blurrier.

>>10469943
DS Lite is the worst DS to get. But you're right that real hardware is the way to go for a lot of handhelds.

>>10470003
still looks good, get fucked ;)

>>10470015
Perhaps but in terms of cheapness you can get a DS Lite for cheap then a clone DSOne and be good to go for DS for a long time.
I eventually got a DSi XL with a DSTWO Plus flashcard.

>>10469836
Just ordered a gamesir controller. Not that one though, a regular one.

Can Steam Deck emulate Xenia and Wii U?

Xenoblade Chronicles X and Lost Odyssey are what I wanna know.

>not even 20% compatible
>bothering to emulate

It's so cute!

>>10463240
>Nothing about that image looks, "fisher price"
Those analogs could be designed this way only for two reasons:
1. faggot animal fuckers(furries)
2. toys for toddlers from a brand called fisher price
If you're offended about someone pointing out the second reason, I have some bad news anon...

It's called razor and blades business model. The reason OEM consoles/handhelds are cheaper than PCs of similar performance (at least they used to be, not sure how the business is today) is because the companies behind said consoles turn great profits from the licensed games optimized and sold for those systems - probably greater than what the consoles cost. That's why nintendo could make a wacky dual screen handheld - it was ballsy but the games sold for it guaranteed the company profited.
The chinks have absolutely no way to profit from games - all their users pirate games for first party consoles - if they make a dual screen chinkheld, it will be good for DS games but automatically subpar for all other systems - why would they produce something like that? It's not like they get money from DS games being sold, they have little market incentive to make a cheap dedicated DS emulator device if they can simply continue to do the two size factors(vertical and horizontal) that they do so far and let their users get the most versatile library (further argument is people still use chinkhelds for emulating DS, it looks retarded like that but it works, so all the more reason not to make such devices)
Either very few chink versions of such a device or they release something like analogue pocket - that way you end up with a hipster device probably more expensive than a used DS(or even a new one)

If you really love to play DS library (like I do) I'd suggest just buying a used DS+flashcart/CFW like I did, the ones imported from Japan seem cheaper and the firmware makes language of console obsolete.
You can also get 2ds or 3ds if that library seems interesting, I got Dsi xl for the amazing screen.
Both families (3d and original ds) can still use download play, local multi, wifi multiplayer(thanks to wiimmfi/pretendo restoring servers), even on pirated roms thanks to newest CFW versions

>>10470562
>That's why nintendo could make a wacky dual screen handheld - it was ballsy but the games sold for it guaranteed the company profited.
I generally agree, but DS was cheap to produce and Nintendo never sold it at a loss even though it cost less to the end consumer than PSP. It's just that money they got from hardware sales was peanuts compared to what they got from selling games for said hardware.

>>10467196
Now I get what you faggots say when you complain about collecting. It is so convenient having everything in a single sd card, with game screenshots and chd/m3u files for cd games, and setup emulator and all. It just makes me feel analysis paralysis but it's incredible all the crap I have at my disposal. And I'm just scratching the surface.

I got my retroid pocket 2s and 3+ a couple of days ago. I can't decide on which to keep (no I'm not keeping both). the 2s seems the better one overall, but the bigger 16:9 screen on the 3+ makes DS and PSP games easier to play. Maybe I should stick to my 3DS + flashcart for DS emulation...

what do you guys think?

>>10470697
Keep the 3+

>>10470698
Any particular reason why?

>>10470706
Because I said so

can't wait for miyoo p282 =3

>>10470732
How powerful is it?

>>10470732
Hello, you have violated ethics.

>>10470737
slightly more powerfull than mini/plus

>>10470760
I'm mainly wondering if it can emulate n64 or dreamcast or psp, since those have a single analogue stick.

>>10470792
n64 for sure, psp no way, that 2,8 screen is too small

>>10470792
forget about those systems, Mini and Mini Plus have trouble even emulating PS1 games and that device won't be much more powerful

>>10470732
2,8 screen FUUUUCK. :( I'll wait for the flip

>>10470468
What's going on with your gross burlap sack of a hand?

>>10470864
Kek, maybe Michal Jackson syndrome?

Is there anything under 150 dollars that does 3ds emulation well?

>>10470898
a 3ds

>>10470906
That's not 3DS emulation though. Literally the one thing they want.

>>10470898
which games are you looking to play? citra MMJ is fine for some games

Why can't I charge this crap with my phone's charger?

>>10470906
3DS have horrible screen resolution.

>>10470940

citra MMJ?

SMT IV donkey kong etc.

>>10471075
240p is perfect for 3ds games and also other /vr/ games

>>10470697
>the 2s seems the better one overall,

Why?

>>10470898
Your phone + a controller
>CitraMMJ
A fork of the official Citra .apk
Has a lot of cool features and is much more performant.

>>10470898
you need an android based handheld with at the very least a Snapdragon 7 or 8 series, so no

>>10471096

Yeah. I know. I have a razer kishi. But my whole philosophy around handhelds is that they get me away from a computer and phone. Maybe I should have said that. Overall, I'm looking for something self contained with a simple gui, where I don't I even have to touch an android interface or screw around with retroarch during regular play - a self-contained consolized hand held experience that does up to 3ds for less than 150 dollars.

Maybe I should have phrased the question that way. Maybe I'm asking too much.

From what I've recently gathered the RP2s offers such an experience but I don't know what their OS is like.

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

>>10471129
RP2s is android
but for all the android based ones you can get a front-end like daijisho to make it feel more like a handheld than android phone.

RP2s will most likely not run most 3ds games well, it's weaker than the 3+.

>>10471138
>daijisho

thanks for the tip.

>>10471129
Daijisho as launcher on a phone/android device is probably the best you're going to get, pretty good console experience once you've got it setup and you can set it as the default launcher which essentially turns the device from a phone with a console inside it to a console that's got a phone mode if you ever need it.

I don't think you're ever escaping some amount of configuration and emulator fuckery if you want to play the more demanding systems, even on steam deck and the other big boys you aren't escaping it.

>>10469867
I and others have enjoyed this bed for over 25 years now, thank you. And its drawers have been perfect storage for my vidya stuff for over two decades. Stay jelly.

>>10469867
I count three pieces of interior plyboard out of over fifty individual pieces of wood.

>Like six different R4 models, all $5 each
>GBA flashcarts
>Fucking start at $60 bit gotta spend at least $80 if you wanna use a microSD and not a "miniSD" card
What the absolute fucking hell? They can't even fucking play GB/GBC roms natively.

>>10471058
Some low-end (mainly Linux-based) chinkhelds don't support PD and can be only charged with USB-A to USB-C cables.

>>10471198
why not just buy chink bootleg carts then?

Anyone else had issues with the equipment screen in ocarina of time having a fucked texture? Running mupen64plus in retroarch.

>>10471232
Who the fuck do you think is making the GBA flash carts to start with, you fuckong idiot?

>>10471249
no, I meant individual game bootlegs or carts like "100 in 1"
those should be cheaper than flash carts, you could probably still get them at a bazaar in some places

>>10471253
Because I'm not an inbred retard and know how to move a file from a folder. I want a flash cart for my own GBA library, your compromise isn't a compromise at fucking all. "Can't get what you want? Buy a piece of fucking shit you'll never use instead!"

>>10469836
good morning gamesir.

>>10471259
why are you so angry at someone who tried to help you

>>10471259
obviously only buy what you want and only buy those multicarts if they contain several games that you want
take a few deep breaths and calm down, you're getting way too mad over people asking you to pay money to pirate, even though it was the norm when GBA was popular

DS and 3DS boys, how do you cope with that ugly af low resolution screen?! Do you count the pixels when you play?

>>10471290
You stop caring once youre actually playing.
The low res is only an issue for 3d games anyhow
