are we still fighting????

>>10489974
YES

>>10489983
more. More. MORE. MOAAARRRRRR

>>10489974
Did you get a 2nd for a spare in the recent drop

let me guess, you "need" more

>>10490000
this is somehow even worse than this kek

>>10489992

>>10489974
Yes, you faggot.

>>10490007
Have you played it? Because it is a good game.

>>10490007
It's not. The Merlin was pretty neat for the time.
The LEDs doubled as buttons and it had multiple builtin games and a little music synth.

>>10490023
>>10490031
i've only played the mattel football
and only because my pops had one as a kid

When one of these emulation handhelds says it "runs on linux", what kind of distro(s) are they actually using?
Also, is emulation the only thing that they can do, or can they run PC games too? There's so many games on Steam and GoG I'd love to have on a handheld like these, in tandem with all my arcade and console roms.
Also more handhelds need to have 6 face buttons and Sega-style d-pads, so far I've seen exactly one handheld do that and it's that recent Anbernic one that can barely run Dreamcast and Saturn...

Is the KTR1 worth buying?

>want to play pokemon diamond for the nostalgia
>but pokemon platinum is supposed to be better
>but diamond is the version I played as a kid
Aaaahhhhhh I can't fucking decide

>>10490040
Depends, they're usually modifications of very minimal linux distros.
As for running pc games, the only way I've seen people do it is via portmaster (an arkos project to port games, also supported by jelos), or retroarch cores (for example there's a core that can run cave story)

>>10490056
Just start one and figure it out after 30 minutes hombre. I just played through Brilliant Diamond and was thinking about doing a DS game to follow

>>10490056
play them both at the same time
do two themed nuzlocke runs
battle yourself before the e4

>>10490040
>what kind of distro(s) are they actually using?
Manufacturers are mostly using customized versions of distros focused on emulation like Batocera, RetroArena, JELOS, OpenDingux, etc. They also violate GPL by not sharing the source code for their modifications.
>Also, is emulation the only thing that they can do, or can they run PC games too?
All of them use ARM or MIPS CPUs and are too weak to emulate x86. Select few PC games have native ports for those kinds of devices, you can install them through a tool called PortMaster.
>There's so many games on Steam and GoG I'd love to have on a handheld like these, in tandem with all my arcade and console roms.
Then just buy a Steam Deck or GPD Win Mini if you want something smaller.

>>10490021
i never went back to the SP design
even as a 16yr old i hated the form-factor
and the dpad\button feel; something just sucked about it
im on my 4th gb micro (buy\sell\trade\etc)

for the zelda gamecube title
i WILL need 4x gba sp or some type of stable ips-modded launch model gba

i just want the girls to beat 4 swords with me
& play the 4P pacman ngc game togther

>trimui smart pro heats up more playing GBA than it does playing DS

Any retro handheld that can play HuniePop, Hades, vampire survivors, risk factions? The indie games

>>10490058
Aahhhh, alright then, yeah that makes sense if they're ARM-based. Shame, but at least there are some kinda options, I guess.
>>10490068
I have a Steam Deck already, it's great, but I want something teeny I can run both emulation and modernish lightweight games on, like the PSP did 15 years ago...
Why'd you single out the GPD Win Mini of all things tho? I mean sure technically stuff like the Lenovo Legion Go ship with Windows, but they're still PCs, there's probably a good Linux OS you can install on those right? ..This has nothing to do with my earlier questions, I'm just rambling, sorry.

>>10490071
I've never held a Micro in my hands and probably never will because it's so overpriced compared to SP despite having LESS features (no ability to play real GB and GBC carts). I can't comment on the button feel on the Micro for this reason, but I really like the button feel on my SP. I prefer clicky dome switch buttons over ones that use conductive rubber because they are much snappier to press, they make games where I have to mash buttons quickly a breeze. I'd put dome switch face buttons in my RP2S if I could too. SP buttons definitely feel better than base model GBA for me. The clamshell form factor also allows it to have a much bigger display than the Micro without being much larger. 2.0" is pathetically small even compared to 2.9".

>>10490142
yes

>>10490160
>Why'd you single out the GPD Win Mini of all things tho?
It's the smallest modern x86 handheld available and probably the swan song of the old GPD form factor.
>I mean sure technically stuff like the Lenovo Legion Go ship with Windows, but they're still PCs, there's probably a good Linux OS you can install on those right?
Very few Linux DEs and applications are optimized well for touchscreen use. GNOME is your best bet honestly.

>>10490161
the micro is comically small
but it is VERY comfy for slower games or RPG
if you like the sp feel you will love the micros mini-m&m sized buttons and lowercase font
it sucks you get no gb(c) functionality but your flashcart can handle most of the .gb files and shit like pokemon
the small screen = comically high ppi esp for that time period, it looks as good or better than devices in 2023 kek

>>10490167
No I mean like, aren't there distros specifically designed for handheld PCs like these, and optimized to boot you into controller-friendly interfaces or Steam big picture mode on boot? I remember at least one called ChimeraOS, but know there's others, i haven't looked into it much at all so iunno

>>10490142
A retro handheld can't play modern games by definition.

>>10490170
>>10490071
>>10490021
A GAMEBOY FOR ANTS?!??

>>10490171
>aren't there distros specifically designed for handheld PCs like these
Nope.
The GPD Win, for example, it's not compatible with Linux.

>>10490171
I suppose there are some, but they're pretty bad from my experience. I tried to install ChimeraOS on a handheld called AOKZOE A1 once and couldn't get it work. For some reason you always need to make sure if the specific device you have is supported by the specific distro you want to use with those kinds of solutions ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. And SteamOS 3.0 is the best but it doesn't work on any other handheld except the Steam Deck because Valve refuses to open-source parts of it. Proof that companies only love open-source when they can profit from it for free and not when it would allow their competitors to do the same.

>>10490176
not compatible how? search out of boredom has people running it

>>10490176
Which one? Because only the m3-8100Y (not the m3-7y30) revision of GPD Win 2 is incompatible with most Linux distros AFAIK and it's because of its locked BIOS that doesn't allow the user to turn off Secure Boot.

>>10490046
Answer me you fucking niggers
You wouldn't shut the fuck up about this thing for almost a year

>>10490056
platinum is just a straight up upgrade in every imaginable way

Is there a company(essentially not involved with gaming/gamepad) making a DS esque size x86?

>>10489968
I'm surprised at how well my MOCUTE-060 is still holding up for a cheap Chinese controller, about a year now, or something like that, and I've been using it a lot since this is the only handheld I have to use afterall. It's great to see these controllers getting more popular too, hopefully they keep getting better, and cheaper... only real issue is having to deal with such a wide aspect ratio here.

I still think that, if it's around the same price, it's probably best to get a dedicated handheld, due to controllers often having their own battery, or risking damaging the USB-C port to plug it in...

Also, it's a pain if you're playing and someone calls you or something, I use an old smartphone, so I don't have to deal with that, but I wouldn't use it on my main smartphone, having a proper dedicated handheld also probably feels more SOVL, but I digress. If you're in the same place I was in though, having an old smartphone laying around, and found a cheap controller, go for it.

>>10490274
Aya Neo is making a 2 screen x86 if that's what you mean.

>>10490056
Play Platinum with this romhack that adds nothing other than following Pokemon like in HG/SS:
https://pokehacking.com/fangames/following-platinum/

Feels good man.

>>10490046
>>10490221
And now that it actually came out and every unpaid shill received theirs they have buyers remorse and don't want to talk about it any more. It's rotting inside a drawer somewhere inside their house and they would rather quickly forget about how they wasted money on it. That or it already broke. I hope that answers your question of whether a shitty one-person project handheld with plastic quality worse than $5 store toys is worth purchasing.

>>10490302
Remember back then when it was being developed? Simpler times, makes me nostalgic.

>>10489974
Dude we now have a guy pissing blood because people are having fun photoshopping their ideal handhelds. I don't think it's si much "we're fighting" as much as faggots off the boat from /v/ are trying to use the same tactics to fit in here.

>>10490280
I picked up that Backbone controller since it was on sale and was curious about those kinds of controllers along with having a trip coming up. It is pretty nice and I like it can be used without needing that application at all with the bonus being that "Backbone Button" is usable in applications too.
>risking damaging the USB-C port to plug it in...
That's my main worry too, but it is nice this has passthrough USB-C
>Also, it's a pain if you're playing and someone calls you or something,
Thankfully Xperia has a "Game enhancer" thing that lets you hide all notification types.
Main purpose of buying this was to just downsize as much extra stuff as possible though yeah just swapping a dedicated handheld with a controller about the same weight so not really downsizing much.

Posted in the previous thread because I didnt see this one yet:

Whats everyone's favorite form factor for these? I'm thinking of getting an emulation machine and haven't decided.

https://strawpoll.com/GPgV6aq5Mga

>>10490449
I should be able to vote again since I saw it in the other thread first >:(

>>10490428
I'd say that, on a sale, the Backbone One is worth it for sure, it clearly has much higher built quality than its competitors, with the only exception I'm aware of being the Razer Kishi V2, which in many ways feels inspired by the Backbone One aswell. I can definitely get what you mean with the whole downsizing, the less extra devices with their own screens on it the better I think, less to manage.

Having a feature like that on your smartphone is definitely helpful in making the experience a lot more seamless, hopefully it really doesn't hurt the USB-C port and we're just worrying in vain, I suppose it doesn't due to how well built it is, but we never know for sure. One more advantage of this method over a dedicated handheld is if you like playing actual mobile Android/iOS titles too.

>>10490449
For me is the horislop. Bigger screen, more flexible, more comfortable.

>>10490165
Which one?

I had fun making these.

If you really need a handheld with 4G sim slot it has that niche.

It's the better option for anyone who doesn't already have a Miyoo Mini Plus or RG35XX already, but it's such a small improvement that it makes no fucking sense to buy one when you already own a MM+ or RG35XX. It'd be like running out and buying an OLED Switch when you already own a perfectly working regular Switch.

>>10490902
awesome, thank you anon

>>10490902
it loses all its charm if you try to turn it into just another generic vertislop. rgb30 was great in part because it was a tall horizontal, almost square shaped.

Nice. Are there any Vita games worth playing that work on it with Vita3k? I've never even touched a vita so I'd like to play some stuff I've missed. I wanted to play the Vita Killzone but it looks like that doesn't work with the emulator.
Also, is there anywhere to download save files for GC games? I was playing Twilight Princess on my Steam Deck and I got pretty far in, up to the point where you can transform whenever you want, but I ended up factory resetting the Deck and losing my saves. I assumed there would be loads for a huge game like TP, but from googling all I could really find was a GameFaqs thread with a couple of saves that have a dumb character name instead of Link.

>>10491062
i say this in complete seriousness, most vita users get use out of the system as an OLED PSP and PS1. gravity rush is about it for original games on the system. everything else is port anthologies, back compat, VNs and "underage panty quest" style dungeon crawlers. if these do appeal to you then try them out but vita emulation is still in infancy due to lack of interest

>>10490571
Anon how many Dragon Ball games do you think could've released in 2004?

>>10490662

I think hardware clones are neat and it's a real clone, not an emulator. If you want to play GBA games it's pretty solid for the price, really.

Is the overlord kid supposed to be ninji from the nes version of mario 2?

>>10491126
>"GBA hardware clone"
>4:3 display instead of 3:2
lol

>>10490142
Not really. Only one's that'd be able to do all of them would be a Steam Deck (or other handheld gaming PCs, though Deck's the only one that's not more expensive than a current gen console)

Vampire Survivor's on the playstore though so any android based handheld with half-decent specs should be able to run it just fine.

>>10490179
It's so bizarre they haven't put SteamOS 3.X out for public download yet, outside of Steam Deck backups. It's not about them refusing to open-source it, it's that they haven't put up a general-download version of it at all yet. I specifically recall them promising that they were going to, yet they still haven't.
In all fairness given the aforementioned problems that distros like ChimeraOS have with needing to support the specific given devices, I imagine that the task of getting SteamOS 3.X to run on every possible hardware configuration including custom-built PCs is probably proving to be a gargantuan one for Valve. Still, I wish they'd be transparent about what's going on, especislly since they likely know making it mass-downloadable would only benefit them: they know how much people like their distro, so letting ppl use it would only help grow the adoption of Linux and Steam's ecosystem, which is their ultimate goal, since the whole reason they made it is because of their hateboner for Microsoft.

>>10489992
There should have been something at least slightly similar to that for the GBC.

>gbc

>>10490302
>everyone who bought it who wasn't paid to promote it has buyers remorse
>shitty quality plastic typically worse than $5.00 toys for little kids
Oh, really?
Have you even tried it or at least slightly been on the trail of its construction? What makes you think the plastic and control buttons are typically, if not as a whole, worse than the RP1, Watara Supervision, Powkiddy V90, early Miyoo Mini versions, R36S, Anbernic 35XX, Datafrog SF 2000, or the Powkiddy RG20s?

>>10491368
>It's so bizarre they haven't put SteamOS 3.X out for public download yet, outside of Steam Deck backups.
It's not bizarre at all if you know the first thing about how corporations operate.
>It's not about them refusing to open-source it, it's that they haven't put up a general-download version of it at all yet. I specifically recall them promising that they were going to, yet they still haven't.
https://github.com/ValveSoftware/SteamOS/issues/742
But they haven't open-sourced it. If it was the issue of support and Valve not wanting to provide it for free for people who haven't purchased their products (which is reasonable), they would have just put the code out there without any official builds and left the community to figure it out themselves. But they haven't done that and likely never will for as long as they stay relevant as a PC handheld vendor because helping their competitors by making their handhelds as seamless and easy to use as the Steam Deck just hurts their profits in the grand scheme of things. At least 2 million Steam Decks have been sold so far. Assuming an average $200 profit margin on a single Steam Deck (this is a conservative estimate, you gotta remember that most people bought the higher SKUs and not the most basic $399 one and that they got cheaper to make over time), that's 400 million dollars of profit from hardware sales alone. Whole of Valve was worth 7.7 billion in 2022. This is a huge stream of revenue for them by now. I wouldn't be surprised if they really planned to open-source the OS at some point when they started out but Steam Deck's success exceeded their expectations and called for a change of plans.

>>10491423
lmao, all you can compare it to are those trash sub-$50 handhelds? but even those don't glow in the dark because of shitty plastic, you know? never mind comparing it to something half-decent like RG353PS or RP2S.

>>10491423
>O rly? rhetoric
You're absolutely right. No one is allowed to recite the general consensus of the overall quality of the product unless they themselves purchased the product and had the same experience. The Red Ring of Death wasn't real, my 42% of functioning long-term launch Xbox 360 is working just fine! The DSlite cracked hinges were due to user error/children, MY launch DSlite in the >12% without the issue yet never got a hairline crack! etc, etc, fuck you, you're not being witty or contemplative by practising, "playing devil's advocate" after just learning the term.
No seriously; You're being contrarian for the sake of being contrarian and it's fucking useless towards any and all discussion concerning what a piece of shit the KTR1 ended up actually being. Fuck you.

>>10490662

in case of handhelds like SF2000 you can buy cells with undercharge protection built-in. though at that point, you're just better off investing in a better handheld anyway. nothing can really by done with handhelds that use proprietary lipo batteries.

The pink and yellow colors would have light-bleed through the shell itself in a dark room. None of the other colors had that issue, though, and the quality of the plastic felt good otherwise. I honestly preferred it to Anbernic's plastic. For what it's worth I had a yellow one and Nil offered to exchange/refund it for me, but I didn't care that it glowed in the dark.

Seek a psychiatrist that specializes in diagnosing autism spectrum disorder in young adults, it's better to get the diagnosis sooner than later in life. My brother went through the exact same shit and he's now in his 40s moping about his life being robbed of him instead of doing something about it. You don't wanna end up like him.

The best you can do (if you don't know what you're doing) is not buying a device, but if you do buy one, keep an eye on battery consumption and try not to let it go below about 20%
If it chugs too much battery in sleep mode, then instead of using sleep mode, turn it off completely
Some anons have reported better or worse battery behavior on different devices, and measured the voltage of the batteries to find out whether the power management circuits are working correctly

So I'm photoshopping a vertical RP3+ at the moment
It looks awful, 16x9 just does not worth vertically, even as a dedicated vertislop bro

What you fail to understand is that the PlayStation Portal was deliberate in every single way. Sony simply does not want to be in the handheld market, period. The Portal is a "fuck you" to everyone who keeps asking for a new portable PlayStation after how much they fucked up the Vita.

>>10491656
If you wanna go with the reasoning that it's a manufactured failure it makes more sense for it to be an excuse to shareholders for why they don't make handhelds/a switch competitor.
"Hey guys we tried, but it clearly just doesn't sell to our demographic/there's no space in the market for another competitor"
>inb4 the portal is nothing like the switch and isn't really a handheld
Yes but shareholders won't comprehend that so it's fine.

>>10491739
>>10491112
I've been hunting through the archives for anons talking about problems with specific devices but I can't find the posts I was thinking of
Pretty sure only some Anbernic devices have any kind of battery problem but I don't actually know which ones
I also don't have the tools/skills to experiment on the battery with the one device I do have (for now)
Sorry I can't help more

>>10491656
>>10491661
There is a much simpler rendering. Sony has a vague interest in the portable market but realizes they can’t compete with nintendo, both for the size of the switch install base and for the novel fact in portable gaming history that the full switch library works as home and mobile console. In order to compete with the latter fact at all they’d have to 1)make an ungodly expensive device that ran lower version of ps4/5 games (and also ramped development costs for compatibility modifications) or 2)go regressive and have a separate library for the portable device. Neither route has anywhere to go. So they instead are trying to capitalize on the knowledge that a lot of people who use their switch do so in bed or elsewhere at home, never really needing it as proper ‘mobile’ gaming. And for a couple hundred bucks they can spit something out that competes on that front and that front alone. It’s honestly not even that cynical as it’s attempting to satisfy a perceived need in a way that is cheap for everyone. That said, fuck them for what they did to the vita and the ps brand generally and I hope they go under in coming years.

>>10491767
I own an RG280V which I love with all my might because it is like a perfected GBA SP I had in highschool, but it plays all my PSX games from middle school...

Anyways, the issues the RG280V and the RG35 series, at least, as far as I know, is that they charge from USB-A to USB-C, with USB-A voltages, the USB-C connector is for aesthetics or ease to find the small port for these handhelds, not because they can fast charge with USB-C

The handhelds come with a supplied USB-A to USB-C cable, but they do not warn against fast charging with your own USB-C to USB-C fast charger.

I have heard some people burnt (as in killed, not fire) their batteries this way. By overpowering them with fast charger briks, instead of 2amp 5v tops.

>>10491425
I didnt say they did open-source it, i said that whether or not they did isn't the point; you can still release an .iso without putting it on github. My point was that Valve's ultimate goal is getting more people on Steam, and even if the Deck hardware is now a big profit source for them, it's still not something that would replace the prospect of even more people joining the platform via different devices. Again, Valve hates Microsoft and ultimately wants to foster a platform where their entire storefront's fate wouldn't have to rely on any of MS's decisions with Windows; they're playing the long game. I seriously, whole-heartedly doubt that they would abandon that goal just because of an idea that maybe their machines are selling "too well".

You can set it to 3:2 which is scaled, or pixel perfect which is about GB Micro sized. Not that the display has any bearing on whether the ASIC is a clone or not.

>>10492398
Got one too, love it. Would kill for something like this as a kid. Even Dreamcast games run reasonably well, but mostly I've been enjoying PSX and GBA. The screen is fucking amazing and mine came with a glass screen protector in the box, can't complain. I thought that the "vertislop" design would bother me, but you get used to it. Some decent ports using PortMaster too. The only thing that I'm missing to make this device perfect would be OpenMW, so that I could play Morrowind in bed.

>>10492474
You can run it on your phone, but eww touch controls

>>10492412

>>10492187
Are you pretending to be retarded? Well fucking stop.

>>10492474
Yeah this thing is awesome, make you don't use the sd cards that come with it though, since I flashed the latest version of the 351mp ark os image.

>>10492483
True, but the whole point of getting an emulation device is because I emulated on muh Android before and as much as I loved it, it killed the battery and you know how shitty modern phones are with holding charge throughout the day... I even have one of those phone controller grips and I think there's mods for Morrowind to navigate the menus using a controller much like in the Xbox version, so worst case scenario I'll do it, but it would be so much nicer to just run it straight from the R36S. The device can do it in terms of specs, but there hasn't been a Linux Morrowind, so unless someone releases an Android-based OS as a replacement for ArkOS I guess I'm shit out of luck. I've been looking into some Amiga games to satisfy that open-world gaming urge though, Ambermoon looks interesting. Or maybe I'll give Ultima 7 a try, it looks a bit janky having never played it before, but a lot of people seem to love it.

>>10492504
Well theres openmw, and there is a linux build, but pretty that's only for x86-64

>>10492504
I mean openmw runs on linux

>>10492510
Disregard. Thought the post image was from the article.

>>10492502
Yup, tossed the cards it came with it straight away, bad sectors out the box and shoddy build quality. Replaced with 16gb SanDisk for the OS and 8gb Toshiba for the roms, didn't have anything larger than that on hand. Running the September release of ArkOS for the 351mp with boot files swapped for the R36S, so far so good. The only thing I was disappointed in is that I couldn't get the Super Mario 64 port to work (there's videos of people running it on R35S on YouTube, I've built my own and downloaded premade ports too, no luck), but beyond that smooth sailing. Cave Story looks great on this screen. Maybe I'll finally go for the true ending and beat the Hell level. Probably not though, last time I've tried it years ago I gave up, shit was brutal.

>>10492507
>>10492508
Ah then I guess it simply hasn't been ported yet then, last time I've seen anyone running it on a portable emu device they were rolling with the Android release.

>>10492398

Ocarina runs shitty on mine. You get that working?

>>10492502
I tried replacing only the rom card and it still won't work without flashing it. Lame

>>10492556
Haven't tried emulating N64 at all yet, sorry anon.

>>10492556
For the emulator I forced retroarch + mupen64plus, and set the res to 320p, ParaLLE is too slow, unless you use the rice gfx backend, but that thing has dogshit compatibility. Only con of using the regular mupen64plus core is no save states, if you really need that then use mupen64plus-Next, but the performance wont be as good.

I'm enjoying my peaceful Saturday morning at home playing some Yu-Gi-Oh! The Sacred Cards and also some Spider-Man: Mysterio's Menace, both for GBA, and both excellent titles, using my Samsung Galaxy M30 and MOCUTE-060 gamepad duo that's been serving me well for a while now, also drinking a homemade Iced Mocha, which is just some coffee mixed with chocolate milk and ice, really... but it tastes great and it's cheaper than going to Starbucks or something for a drink almost identical in taste. Just enjoying some "me" time while the missus is still sound asleep.

How are my /hhg/ bros enjoying their days so far? Hope everyone's having a good time, having a handheld like this to enjoy playing in a more comfortable position, and without making any noise that wakes people up by accident, is a real game changer in how I enjoy my playing time.

>>10492580
Its a gift for someone else.

Also, what's up with the function key? Seems like it doesn't do anything and it's using the start button for the things it should be using the function button for. Anyway to make the retroarch menu and stuff use the function button?

If I wanted to fulfill the fantasy of having a game boy style device that could play the sega saturn library, how many quid would I need to cough up to make that a reality?

>>10492603
Function key is a dummy with no function whatsoever. Some people on Discord have tried to get the OS to recognize it, but so far no luck. The "select + whatever" hotkey combo within RetroArch cores works well enough, but it's downright stupid that the function key doesn't do shit. But that's what it is, it's fucking pointless.

>>10492630
I think the R36S can emulate it, but I haven't tried it yet, so don't take my word for it. The emulator core exists though. What did you wanna play with it? Could test later. Either way, I paid 36 quid for mine including delivery, but that was on Black Friday.

Why do I keep coming here? Need to hurry up and rename this shit "/tr/ - Trannies"

>>10492639
The games I would get the biggest kick out of playing would be the shining force III trilogy, linkle liver story, bulk slash, burning rangers, and panzer dragoon saga

>>10492651
>>10492639
36s doesn't play 3d saturn games

You have to go rp3+ or up

>>10492630
Saturn is one of the hardest system to emulate. You need to spend more than 100$ to get something that can play it. For example, the retroid pocket 2 S, if I'm not mistaken. This is as far as I'm concerned the cheapest device that can emulate it.

>>10492680
I've seen a guy working on tomatoOS emulating some saturn games on a trimui smart pro. But I'm not sure how many games it can run smoothly, and also tomatoOS for it hasn't been publicly released as far as I know, and who knows when it actually will be.

>>10492676
Hmm... my r36s is able to play panzer dragoon zwei alright for me.

>>10492697
put fps counter on and report back.

>>10492651
I'll check with Panzer Dragoon later. Will report back.

>>10492676
Judging by the Discord and YouTube comments, it's a mixed bag. Some people say it works, others that it doesn't. I suspect it's probably something like having the correct bios files present or whatever and that it's filtering half the userbase. But I haven't tried myself yet, so it's just a wild guess.

Just got this guy at a local game store for $100 and some traded-in DS games. What am I in for? Besides a two-week wait for the memory csrd to ship to me, I mean

>>10492964

>>10493168
It was $150. I traded in
>Pokemon Black
>Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright
>Dragon Quest VIII
For something like $67 in-store credit total. So including tax, I paid around $97 for it afterwards.

>>10493115
Don't listen to them anon, the only way you could get a cheaper vita is by getting a Japanese one, but those are still around $100.

I imagine your ds game trade ins were worth almost nothing though. Probably should have just kept them

I need to upgrade my MM+ SD card, is it simple as like copying all things to the new one? Or do I have to use an image read/write tool?

>>10493115
$100 to $200 isn't bad for a US Vita in that condition but you got fucked trading in those DS and 3DS games for $67, those games would have been enough to pay for the Vita on their own if you sold them

>>10493210
>>10493256
Selling them would’ve taken weeks, maybe months. And I plan on putting all my DS games on an R4 anyways, so there’s no sense in keeping them unless I have some sentimental value for their save files like I do with my other Pokemon games (not Black tho. Fuckin’ hated that game)

>>10493240
Should be able to just copy-paste
Just make sure your new card is formatted the same

>>10489974
No; I've been using my phone for like two years now with telescopics and bluetooth. Works perfect so no need for fighting. I do hope you enjoy your gaming though as no contest is needed when it comes to having fun am I right guys?

Ok anon, as promised I'm back to report. R36S can totally emulate the Sega Saturn. I messed up though because you wanted to play Panzer Dragoon Saga (the RPG) and I downloaded Zwei (the action game), sorry - BUT it should give you a general idea.

NTSC game, American bios in the bios folder on the roms SD card renamed as saturn_bios.bin, best performance is on the standalone core using bios. ArkOS options (start button) - emulator settings - Sega Saturn - emulator: STANDALONE-BIOS.

Initially it runs with a black bar on the bottom of the screen, so you need to go into emulator settings from within the game by pressing select and change the aspect ratio to 4:3.

Game runs around 40 FPS, dropping to 38 with a lot of shit on the screen, looks fully playable. Music and sound doesn't stutter, buttons are responsive.

Don't know what framerate it ran on natively because I never had a Saturn, but it looks ok to me to be honest. It werks.

gib analogue pocket horizontal with fifth gen and analogs

>>10493615
The FPGA alone would cost like 3x to do that

>>10492708
Panzer dragoon zwei gets 35-45 fps using the standalone-no-bios

>>10493608
Not the anon that asked, but thanks for the report back and putting the frame counter on. The game on a real Saturn runs at 30fps in gameplay and 60fps during cutscenes. The VDP1 bit is what shows what the game is actually running at, so 20fps with dips to 19 from the sounds of it. To be honest as someone who has played it on a real Saturn, that sounds pretty terrible to me. Even Shinobi Legion dipping only 3-5fps frequently (55-57 fps) on my RK3566 handheld ends up looking pretty choppy to me and ruining the experience.

Fwiw I was curious how Zwei runs on my rk3566 handheld after this post. Most Saturn I've tried runs like shit, but I some like Hyper Duel seem to run okay, and Zwei is actually one of the less demanding games to emulate. In the first stage during gameplay it actually ran well, with some dips during cutscenes. Everything went to shit once I got to stage 2 in the forest, stuck around 25fps and everything was fucking flashing. I could get it back up to 30fps if I enabled compute shader, but that made the ground and background completely disappear while doing nothing about the flashing. I also tried PD Saga and it started alright, but gradually got worse and worse the further I got.

>>10493902
No worries. As someone who's got experience with the real hardware I'm sure you'll notice slowdowns if there's any present that I wouldn't as I have no point of reference since I've never owned the console. I've played the shit out of Virtua Fighter 2 back in the day, so that would probably give me a better idea, but I've played it on PC anyway and not the Saturn. Honestly I'm impressed we can even emulate the console at all nowadays, was always a right bitch. On a handheld of all devices, happy days! I haven't messed with the emulator much beyond this initial test, but I'll probably get back to it at some point if only to check out Wachenroder.

>>10493561

>>10490221
>>10490302
it's completely not worth it in its current state and by the time it potentially has all its shit together, there will be other options that render it obsolete besides maybe its aspect ratio

there's so many people with sunk cost fallacy in their discord just being strung along on the idea of various components being fixed and eventually getting replacements, but nil took too long at this point and it's really losing a ton of its appeal it had back when it was originally coming into fruition

i think it'll still be cool to potentially get one for its screen and the option to choose dpad-on-top orientation, but literally everyone would be better off getting an rp3+ or some shit

i actually have decent faith in retroid that the rp4 will basically be end game for plenty of people in /vr/, they could even rehash the t618 on an improved design for all i care and it'd still appeal to me more than any garbage from anbernig

>>10494351
I mean I have everything that came with Soul Silver, I never used the pokewalker at all. For all the games they include all the booklets and the cartridges themselves have very little wear on them.

I'm sorry other me, please forgive. The 2S was utterly brilliant and so very nice, it really was, but my shitty old boomer eyes just couldn't handle the 3.5" screen anymore. If it had a 4" screen or even just a 3.75" one there's no way I ever would've sold it. That said I'm a massive SEGA fag so I would've got the Arc no matter what shame about the shitty chip

>>10494419
no need to apologize other me, as long as you are happy with your current setup; i fully agree the rp2s screen is too small

here's to hoping the rp4 comes in trannyblack and remedies nearly all faults of the previous retroids

>>10494443
It just feels bad because in every other way, it was just about perfect at such an incredible price. Probably the prettiest handheld I've ever had in that transparent black, too. It gives me a lot of hope for the RP4, I have a feeling they're about to absolutely kill it.

d900 to just equal the old odin lite is my guess too since they're both under the same umbrella, d1200 not unless they actually add a functional fan versus the shit they pulled with the rpflip kek

>>10494736
Hey there! I hope you manage to exchange it no problem and get a unit where the thumbstick is working 100% well, the Backbone really looks a lot like a definitive controller for smartphones, I get that feeling from what I've seen at least, but the industry's always developing, so we'll see.

>>10494741
I'm sad to hear, for the Kishi V2 it really looked like they just decided to copy the Backbone as they were selling more or something, which did feel like a rushed/desperate move which was a bit unnecessary, I don't see why I'd get it over a Backbone since they're so similar at this point.

At least the Kishi V1 felt like it's own thing, the industry didn't really have anything like it at the time it came out, and especially nowadays too.

I definitely recommend the MOCUTE-060 if you can find it for cheap, though keep in mind it's a Chinese product, so defective units are common and I've read comments of people that haven't had the same luck with it that I've had, so only go for it if you find it for cheap like I did I suppose.

>>10495119
What's crazy is now that I have experience with more telescopes. The kishi v1 even with its somewhat loose fit. Was hands down the best ergonomic fit for me. There ia hope though. When I get a newer phone someday for higher end console emulation. I do know that the kishi v1s i have do work on those. I just have no idea why it stopped working on my stylo 5

>>10495186
It's a shame it stopped working for you, it does look quite comfortable to hold, hopefully when you get a new smartphone it works again, or if you manage to find out why it doesn't work on your current smartphone and fix it, that'd be a great thing, I'll be cheering for you, anon.

He is a reviewer, he doesn't provide anything at all. In fact, since his TSP review, he's been absent from the channel until that screenshot.

TSP bros, looks like the RG35xx+ uses a soc from the same company (allwinner), which makes it more likely that it will get better support in the future. Maybe Garlic OS 2.0 is possible after all.

It's the release order of the games. GBA ROMs were like that from the beginning.

Over the last 2 years I've used a miyoo and an rp3+, but recently repurposed my old lg v60 as an emulator handheld. I think I'm gonna sell my rp3, it sucks ass when it comes to ps2 and gamecube emulation. I can play at 4x-5x res + widescreen with no slowdown on this phone. Why would you suffer underpowered hardware with shit screens?

Yes, I did fall for it. I no longer trust the handheld community because their idea of acceptable performance is awful.

I just ordered an black SP a bit ago. I never had one as a kid. I made a couple trips to local and not so local stores just to strike out between today and yesterday, so I gave up. I really wanted to feel and see the thing in my hand first but whatever.
I wanted an original model, preferably the clear glacier or whatever the color was called, to replace my original one that seems to have disappeared, but this SP wasn't much more expensive than those models I was seeing online while being in much better condition. I hope I don't mind the form factor too much, because that's a big reason I wanted an original one again.
I'm looking forward to it. I've been using my new flashcart with my DS Lite, but I now notice how much the buttons on that thing suck. It's really not enjoyable at all. I kind of want to replace it with a DSi.

So I got an r36s, how the fuck do I upgrade this thing without a wifi dongle and for some reason USB tethering doesn't work with my phone? Also is it possible to replace buttons? They're uncomfortable as fuck.

Chinkhelds kinda JUST got chips for running ps2 and gamecube (Not well) so people are just too excided. It was the same things for phones for sometime, but in that case, it was mostly poor emulators and people coping with shit speed hacks. Retroid is owned by the same parent company as ayn, so I could the 4 using a decent snapdragon chip.

>>10491620
My PSP battery seems totally fine for normal use, but it just doesn't hold a charge when stored well at all. I don't want to replace it since it works fine for the intended purpose, but it's really annoying when I go to grab it and it's below 50% from just sitting around for a bit.

Might not be the best place to ask, but does anyone recognize the case that is under this Micro? Is it actually a Micro case? In-person it looked more like the size of a GBC. They unfortunately would not sell it to me without the Micro (and I already have a Micro).

I wish drastic on the TSP could scale screens to different sizes. Your only options are single, vertical (lol) or 50/50 horizontal.

>>10497817
>How's switch emulation?
Hit or miss, you'll need to go back and forth with the drivers and settings but everything I have tried so far works pretty well:
MK8 with the lastest booster course, super mario odyssey, super mario 3D world, BOTW, star ocean the second story R
Indies games: One step from eden, Rabi-ribi, Tunic, Inscryption
So yeah, pretty solid at the moment and It will get better since yuzu gets updates almost daily

I guess Anbernig got tired of people calling them the company that keeps shitting out candybar rectangles because they've been going crazy lately with these out there designs.

>>10497910
WTF is that real?

>>10497910
What devices is that control scheme supposed to be made for? Unless it's aimed at mobile games, but if that's the case you can't play in horizontal mode

>>10497794
I plan on using mine for those systems, and just using my rp2s for everything ps1 and under. I kind of have to because even though I use 1tb/1.5tb sd cards I hoard games and can't fit everything on one device

>>10497069
I mean, what even are handhelds, fundamentally speaking? It's a hardware, screen and controller all attached to one another into one cohesive machine... what me and other smartphone fags are doing is attaching a screen/hardware to a controller, so it's the same thing, with the main difference being that the controller's detachable from the rest. I really don't see the difference.

I love handhelds, and this just happens to be my current setup, that came about because I got a cheap controller on a sale and had my older smartphone laying around that I wanted to use.

>>10497057
LG always had some very good smartphones, it's odd that they've left the market, a real shame... anyways, the Kishi V2 looks like a good controller too, so you've got a good combination there, and the cat, of course, everything in this photo looks quite cozy, so I'm really happy for you, anon!

Hope you manage to make some good money on your RP3 if you do sell it, don't know for how much used ones are going for right now though.

>Sony simply does not want to be in the handheld market, period.
>vaio p series

>android-powered walkman line
Sony could dominate the handheld market if they bothered to get their heads out of their collective ass. They outright refuse to listen to what consumers liked and disliked about their previous attempts.
Ditch proprietary storage cards, embrace SD or even m.2 at this point, and either commit to providing software support or slap Android on it (or even go x86 like the afforementioned Vaio). Two dead simple solutions that even Chang was able to figure out.

>>10499443
Let's be honest, the hardware was never the issue. In fact Sony's handhelds were typically absolute powerhouses that beat Nintendo in every way, even though Nintendo did just as much proprietary bullshit as Sony did (if not moreso)

Sony's problem was that it refused to commit to the idea of a handheld being it's own platform. All the big games they'd release were just small-scale spinoffs of their console lineups that rarely ever mattered in the main series they represented, and what few actually decent ones they made got almost instantly ported back onto their home consoles.

Nintendo would actively treat their handhelds with as much importance as their home devices, sometimes even making mainline series entries exclusively for handhelds, sometimes even outright making a whole ass franchise just for them. Sony never showed that kind of dedication, which made it super clear to everyone that the PSP and Vita were nothing more than "just a side project"

TL;DR, It's was sony's lack of dedication to their handhelds, not their specs

>>10499346
imagine being an anbernig when retroid keeps dropping absolute heaters

this looks like an easy purchase boys

Imagine being so poor and unhappy that you need to console war over chinese handheld consoles.

>>10499526
I have never regretted a retroid, and I will continue to not regret. 2S and 3+ were both bangers minus the absolutely disgusting start select placement on the 3+. It’s still retroid bros, feels good (deck chads are also king tier I just don’t want something that big).

>t. anbernig with buyers remorse

>>10499550
>He's never seen phone wars
Same thing really. Something about tech does this to people and these things have phone chips/screens so it's only natural. And I dont think that dude's starting anything. Anbernig made some retard tier decisions and pissed the wrong people off (Parts) to the point they rather support fucking powkiddy

>>10499526
I feel like Anbernic's still worth it in some ways. Easily the best sub-$100 company, and their form factors are really nice for those who're just looking to play their retro 2D games. There's no "perfect" device, it's just about what's better for your needs.

>>10499579
I mean you've had arguments like that since forever, something like the nintendo vs sega console wars is an obvious older example, but I guarantee you you could find examples from like the 1500s of painters arguing with each other over paint brushes

>>10499593
i give them credit for somehow procuring the only 4" 4:3 screen available, but otherwise their prices are ridiculous for how inconsistent they are in quality

i kek at reddit that sees metal body and instantly assumes it's premium and pays, and then a shoulder button stops working a month in

the retroid pocket 2s really destroys the sub-$100 market for everything besides maybe the rg arc for being niche and 6-button, imo the endgame trifecta now is a miyoo mini (or mini plus), rp3+ or rp4, and one x86 chonk handheld like the deck or ally

Not sure if this device supports USB tethering using your phone's network, most people just use a dongle.

The buttons can be cut to make them a bit snappier (out of the box two sets of buttons are connected for whatever reason with a thin plastic bit, maybe it's the mold they used, anyway you can do a quick mod to separate them), I haven't seen any replacements linked anywhere yet.

>>10499610
I have a 2S and I love it, but let's not pretend it actually counts as sub-$100. After taxes and shipping you're paying $130 at best, and an RG35XX is half that price on amazon with free shipping.

>>>10499610
>After taxes and shipping you're paying $130 at best,
no offense but i've literally never heard anyone say this kind of shit outside of this chinkheld sphere, seemingly people are so poor for already genuinely inexpensive goods that tax and shipping sways people's decision-making so heavily
it's a device that starts at $99 - it is a sub-$100 device
>and an RG35XX is half that price on amazon with free shipping.
how is an rg35xx even comparable

>>10499635
>how is an rg35xx even comparable

It's not. The entire point is that they aren't comparable, and that there's different devices that fit different needs, and that some peoples needs are just a small, inexpensive little device to play SNES on, and they probably don't care to double the price for things like analog triggers and google playstore.

>>10499643
i was trying to be cordial but this is such a stupid fucking post i'll drop the act

Again, I love my 2S, but there's a lot of people who can't drop $130 on a device (even though 130 is less than 100 apparently) like this, so it's nice that there's $50 options on the market that still do most retro stuff well.

I can tell you don't actually own anything because you're ignoring the software side. Android fucking blows and until Retroid makes something running on Linux I couldn't give two shits how good their hardware is.

>>10499739
As someone who's used both Android and Linux devices, Linux is the easiest and most user-friendly setup, but Android's a lot more powerful if you set it up well and get a good frontend

no one is arguing that you colossal retard, just that if taxes and shipping are such a huge factor in consideration, you probably werent in a position to comfortably make that purchase to begin with

"being poor" does not mean you are automatically financially irresponsible

>>10499839
amazing, actually

i bought the note20ultra new purely to use with dex - i've never even stuck a sim card in it as i can't ditch iphones due to work/personal. got a skull & co jumpgate dock and use it as a computer on my TV, so i run almost all my emulators there, stream nba league pass, shows, etc.

samsung seems to be slowly giving up on dex but it's genuinely served as a computer replacement for me, but mind you i am not a huge PC power user anymore and just need emails/web browsing/shows/games

Well shit, I dont know how any other Android chinkheld can hope to compete. I love the Ayaneo Pocket Air but the RP4 Pro drives a hard bargain by basically being nearly identical in terms of specs at $100 less, just without that OLED panel.

Does anyone know why my Odin 2 is charging so slow? I just got mine today and after leaving it on charge for about an hour and a half it's gone from 50% to 75% and it says it still has 1hr 20m until full.
Russ said his charged from 0-100 in 2 hours, so I don't know why mine's so slow. I'm using the exact same charger and cable that I use to charge my phone in 20 minutes.

if you're looking to buy something and can't afford to buy it twice over, you were never in a position to purchase it to begin with

no one's ever told you that fiscal advice?

i'm really not trying to sound like a "hurr just stop being poor" asshole, your argument though just reeks of being bad with money to begin with if the $25 delta you're referencing is such a blow

if it is and you want to change the question to ask if the +$25 is justified in value of the product, i would still say yes in regards to the rp2s

would i say that for some flavor-of-the-month anbernig rk3566 shitter? fuck no

And how many watts does that charger put? Using the 100W charger that AYN solds gives me that 1hr 20m for the fully charge

how loud is fan in odin? I hate fan noise.
