/vr/ - Retro Games

finally beat kof95 on my arc thobeit. fucking burn in hell kyo's dad, gay nigger cunt.

Also the R36S just launched a new transparent orange chainsaw variant, and some Etsy artist is making some mechanical keyboard shell for the R36S for some unknown raisin That's a Futurama reference to you zoomies, not a typo.

Also to recap the previous thread in handheld retro gaming

I literally just bought a rp3+ back in October this is actually kind of infuriating. I'm checking Facebook marketplace to see if I can sell this shit, but it looks like lots of people already have the same idea and are trying to pawn off their system.

>>10514971
Talk of the Pocket 4/4+ dropping has been a thing since August, anon. You really have no on to be upset with but yourself. Either buy the device you want, or be patient and wait. You only did this to yourself, and anyone in the market will not be interested in a second-hand RP3+ at this point unless you sell it for like $50.
I recommend you find a way to kill your FOMO tendencies and just enjoy the RP3+ you have.

>>10514881
Love me steam deck, simple as.

>>10514974
anon the RP3+ was almost a year old at that point, no previous RP had gone that long without a successor. people in here were constantly telling you lads that an RP4 is probably right around the corner for the last few months.

>>10514978
meant for >>10514971 ofc

>>10514978
>no previous RP had gone that long without a successor.
Precisely, the RP4 was overdue and buying the RP3/3+ was just silliness unless it does everything the buyer wants from an emulation handheld.

>>10514971
>I am infuriated at how ignorant of a consumer I am
Many such cases

Just preload it with rockstar's android ports and sell it on ebay.

I AM ABSOLUTELY IN LOVE WITH MY WALL-E (ANBERNIC RG280V)

Seriously this thing is everything my Highschool GBA SP was, and then so much more... the GBA was incredibly back then for being a portable SNES basically, now I have a gorgeous portable PSX backwards emulator, and it feels heavy, premium built.. it just.. it feels like something NINTENDO themselves could have built for a 1000 Units Only prize for some Japanese Exclusive Club or something.. very premium for a portable videogame toy.

Me? Waiting for the r33s. Miyoo flop. Unicorn. And powkiddy's secret project.

UPDATE: my backbone exchange came in..... and the fucking thumbstick is worse than the last one! What the fuck?! This time I can't run up OR down with the left thumbstick. My character only walks. To test my sanity; I used my gamesir x2 bluetooth and NO problem. Push a little and it runs. What the fuck backbone? Should I exchange again? Third times a charm? Or just return and refund it? Yeeeesh
What a let down. I want to like it. The ergonomics are great. But two times now the left thumbstick is junk. :(

>>10514917
The fuck are you on about? That's a Dirtywave M8 tracker on the right, isn't it?
Looks modded though

>>10515072
>he fell for the cuckbone that has a paid subscription model for a damn controller
Return it

Finally got the old RG35XX for $40. Honestly, if I’d gotten this instead of the Miyoo Mini, I probably wouldn’t have fallen down the chinkheld rabbit hole buying shit like the RP2S and the RGB30. I literally only play Pokemon on these things, and for that, the fast-forward function’s a lot faster than on the Miyoo, and the curved shoulder buttons make it pretty easy to play with one hand when you’re using the “L = A” setting.

The only downside I noticed is that installing themes is a pain, since you can only have one at a time and have to overwrite everything each time through an SD card reader, since there’s no way to do it in the system like with the Miyoo.

>>10515072
Jeez... that really sucks, anon. I guess the Razer Kishi V2 is the closest controller to it, but I recall you wanted Razer to go fuck themselves after it screwed over the Kishi V1, so they're not a good option either... a contoller I can think that clearly copies the Backbone One is the BSP-D6, but it's a cheap controller, so I'm not sure if it'd be good in the long run... I'd say just return it and leave it be.

I suppose it's best to just stay with the GameSir X2 only, but if you want a new one, GameSir also made a new one that seems to be getting a good reception, the G8, look it up and see if you like it.

On my end, I'm still on my MOCUTE-060 and so far it's still working, I feel like getting a backup one just in case this one fails, so I can have one immediately instead of waiting for it to arrive in the mail after another purchase, but for now it doesn't seem necessary, it's been solid for me even if it feels cheap in the hands. I managed to beat The Amazing Spider-Man 2 on Game Boy today using this setup, felt quite good, it's a Spider-Man MetroidVania of all things... and it's surprising to me how much I enjoyed playing it, even if it gets a bit cryptic at times to be fair...

>>10515214
This.

forgot image last thread

>>10514881
are we still fighting??

>>10514971
I got mine back around October too and I definitely got my money's worth. I'm not sure why you're so pressed because everything everyone else has been saying is true.
I'm gonna try to load this RP3+ up with as much as I can and give it to my friend's 10 year old son to dick around with.

>>10515242
YES

>>10514881
what's the best SNES emulator for this bitch?

>>10515273
none
its all so fucking bad

>>10515283
which one's the least shit then?

>>10515294
idk the last one i used was snes9xtyl
so whatever the latest snes9x was probably

>>10515219
I started going full consumerbrain after the RP4 announcement, but then I remembered the only retro games I play are on NES, SNES, GBA, and the occasional PS1 game. I have no actual need for anything beyond my RG35XX.

It's the perfect emulator handheld. If I really wanted to play a GameCube or PS2 game, I'll just run it on my computer.

>>10513507
I WILL buy a worthy handheld and will patiently wait for its creation to consoom
I will NOT buy goyslop

Is there any telescopic controller that doesn't suck ass. They all seem to be busted in one way or another.

>>10515431
Well, I've only used the MOCUTE-060 before, so far my experience has been decent for a cheap controller, but it still feels cheap, even if it's all still working for now, so if you want something with a better feel this isn't what I'd recommend, the ones most people seem to agree are more premium are the Backbone One, and the Razer Kishi V2, also GameSir X2 and GameSir G8 too.

Still, it's a gamble, this anon (>>10515072) had some really awful luck so far with the Backbone One, so even with these it's not 100% certain. I'd say check reviews online to get a broader view.

What Windows games can the RP4/ D1100 play?

>>10515236
>>10515462
why do you stretch your GB games like that?

>>10515189
That's literally a purple R36S.

>>10515006
can this thing handle SNES expansion chip games?

>>10515487
Well, it's a situation where I sort of have to pick my poison really... let me explain, I'm using this current setup, instead of a dedicated handheld, because I had an old smartphone I still wanted some use for, and I found a decent looking pad for cheap, it ended up being way cheaper than getting an actual handheld, but the screen is a 19.5:9 aspect ratio, instead of 4:3 or 1:1 (Ideal).

Now, what that means is that, if I use a 1:1 or a 4:3 aspect ration, I'm going to have a 25cm wide device with about 5cm of actual screen, most of the screen will be negative space and it's awful...

So, instead of going with 1:1 I tried 4:3 and it still looked off and had mostly negative space, so I just gave up and stretched it full, but the round corners bothered me... so I finally just went with a 16:9 stretched aspect ratio, it doesn't bother me as much as having 90% of the device being negative space, even though it isn't ideal, it still works well enough for me, even if it's a real sin.

>>10515546
I really love them, when I was a kid I used to play with girls' dolls only, one day my grandpa got sick of it, since he was a more traditional man afterall, and took me to a store, told me to pick a boy's action figure, whatever I wanted, and I got Spider-Man, a figure I played with so much that I can't even make it stand still for a picture, it's so used up at this point, because I loved it so much.

I'd eventually become a huge fan of Spider-Man and get more bootleg toys like these ones, I find them to be quite charming compared to official ones, and I'm glad I had so many growing up too.

P.S. Here's a photo with the OG that my good old grandpa got for me as a kid, it's the only gift I've got left from him, sitting in front of the handheld since he's elderly at this point, but I still love it.

>>10515557
Wholesome :' )

>>10515462
I'M GOING WITH THE G8! That things looks fugging niiiiiice! Hall effect triggers and thumbsticks and thicker than the backbone.
That's two on the blacklist so far: Kishi/razer & Backbone.

But Gamesir....has been utterly lovely. My second x2 bluetooth shows up tomorrow and I'll let ya know when I get the G8. I could stop with the X2s but I really want to find a usb-c with pass through charging and I think the G8 is gonna be it. Wish I had known about it around black friday.

How long has the T618's lifecycle been in retro handhelds? Thinking about how long D900/1100 will last until D1200 or an equivalent becomes standard.

>>10515746
year and a half

>>10515732
Buy a PSP already.

Can the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro play Genshin?

>>10515795
More importantly, can it play Burnout 3?

Trimuibros...

>>10515006
Why would you play on this thing ... let alone psx.

>>10515810
Small and looks sexy

>>10515806
It looks ogre.

>>10515813
Must be the most uncomfortable thing to play on. And what's that screen? 2.8 inches? Hopefully you didn't pay more than 50$ for that.

comparison of the SoC for RP3+ vs RP4 (base). having gotten my RP3+ in august, this makes me cope somewhat. I expected a smaller spec bump, but they went from a low budget chip to a midrange/budget one.
then again, it's not even clear when this releases, it'll likely reach the first purchasers in february, which is about what you'd expect. and frankly, I haven't even played any 6th gen games on my RP3+ yet, and I'm content with it so far.

>>10515838
yeah, this pissed me off too. you get used to it, but it's just unintuitive as hell

so the site states RP4 has active cooling? is this true? OP's image shows some holes there on top

>>10515795
No controller support.

>>10515557
Are you me? Let me guess, AGP? Shit sucks

>>10515942
But they have touchscreens

>>10515717
I'm happy that you found a controller you like and want to get, anon! I hope you get better luck with it than the Razer and the Backbone. I'm glad I could help, cheers!

>>10515962
A bit... but I think it was induced by my loneliness and the pornography addiction I developed because of it, I've been fighting and repressing it well though.

>transparent colors

What shaders, if any, do you guys use? When I force myself to config a preset I'll share it here

>>10516048

lcd3x.glslp

>Do you live alone?
I live with my parents too, but even if I didn't I'd rather not indulge in it, I have a GF and plan on getting married in a couple of years, so I'll just repress it.

>>10516159

wew lad best of luck, though buying her clothes could be a nice way of "indulging" in it, like some projection or life sized doll I guess, happy for you, hope you make it. Luckily I'm I bit more socially inept than that so no gf... ever ;_;

>>10516159
CRT shaders, crt-gdv-mini for 2D games, crt-1tap for 3D ones.

GDV Mini makes the colors a bit richer, if it bothers you, go with crt-pi instead for 2D titles.

Pi and also ZFast are very good, Potato ain't half bad either. But I've found the two I listed initially to work the best without sacrificing speed.

Only up to PSX though, tried a few of them with the Dreamcast games and they all introduce visible slowdown.

Most people seem to prefer the Royale line of CRT shaders, but I wasn't able to run them on my chinkheld.

Retroid Pocket V(ertical) when?

>>10516378
Just rotate it

>>10515795
It almost ran at 30 on lowest settings on the 3+ so the 4 Pro will run it just fine.
>>10515942
You just use the built in keymapper to map the buttons to the on-screen controls and it works fine.

Azure Dreams, you can literally make a harem of every dateable girlfriend in the game, and their morning wakeup routines with you change depending on who you're all dating. It's also the first tactics RPG I ever enjoyed that wasn't easy shit like Chocobo's Dungeon.

what console generations' games do you play the most on your handhelds?
for me (RP3+) it's 50% 4th gen, 30% 5th gen, plus some GBA / NES.

>>10516616
In my case (Trimui smart pro) it's the psx, the most unexplored system for me. I've been playing mostly jrpgs/tactics games in the past through my tablet. Having a real dpad and buttons allows me to explore action games too but I feel more excited to dive into 3D stuff first. Been playing spyro, klonoa and parasite eve too. The psx has so much good stuff it will take years before I finish it. Also occasionally I play f zero (snes and n64) and mario. But without discipline it is way easy to start things and never finish them.

>>10516616
GBA is my most played system usually.

>>10514974
I mean to be fair there was no official confirmation from retroid. It was all speculation and no guarantee they would be on an annual release cycle like this. IIRC retroid didn't drop their drip marketing until November, so Anon just had bad luck.

>>10516572
Neither of those are tactics rpg's

>>10515252
>I'm gonna try to load this RP3+ up with as much as I can and give it to my friend's 10 year old son to dick around with.
I tried this a few times with kids around that age. They never appreciate it. They'll hop around from game to game for a bit before going back to Roblox or whatever their friends or favorite Yootoobers are playing. Expect to find it laying on the floor the next time you visit.

>>10516660
This. My nephew is entertained by other games for like 15 minutes then just wants to play Minecraft or Roblox or whatever other junk mobile game he saw Youtubers playing. It's not just retro games, even modern console games only hold his attention for a day at most before he wants to go back to the usual Gen Alpha slop.

>>10515252
Load it up with roblox, 4 ps1 games. Both megaman psp games. Mario 64. Minecraft. Modern combat. And deadcells. If he likes those he will ask for more. Loading a system up with thousands of games gives the pirates curse. (Plus, people underestimate how much shovelware there acutally is)

>>10516492
That's the plan, eventually

I don't know much about this kind of stuff, but if the battery life of this retroid pocket 4 is good, then it sounds like a good deal. If it really can play dreamcast and sega saturn games without a hitch, with analog triggers to boot. That sounds nice, and it being designed like a game boy advance is my preference too. But I think most devices are in that form factor now, like the steam deck. 150 USD for something like that seems like a steal. Apparently PSP games are ideal on it as well due to the widescreen and button layout - I hope there's no devil's finger like the buttons being garbage or something. The directional pad does look like one big hunk of plastic where false inputs could be easily read.

>>10516650
Roguelites/dungeon crawlers, SORRY.

>>10516679
You say this as if Roblox doesn't have the most competent 3D Sonic game since the DreamCast.
...When it loads.

Both the RP4 and RP4 Pro have 5000mAh batteries. With the stronger CPU and GPU onboard the Pro model, will it have slightly worse battery?

>>10516285
>>10516320
I didn't mean to upset you, anon. I know that perhaps this thread isn't the most appropriate place to talk about this stuff, and I apologize, but the subject came up and I feel it's fine to answer and talk a bit about it, though I get why that's disliked.

>>10516301
I don't have any urges to use her clothes or anything thankfully, my issue is more with a sort of bissexuality than the AGP nowadays, and even that is getting better too, I think my repression's really working, and this girl's worth it, even if I still struggle, though perhaps it's best to not have a GF, so you're alright really.

>>10516492
>>10516828
I get why it works for some, and I wish you all nothing but the best, but for me... I want to be a man, I'd like to be more manly, and I'm doing better at it aswell.

Well, anons... I think it's best if we don't derail the thread, /lgbt/ exists for these subjects already, and it's fair that other anons get upset at us talking about this in the wrong board, let's talk about some good old handhelds instead from now on.

Anyways, cheers!
God bless you all, anons.

>>10516918
Does the controller you ise have sepertate buttons for the dpad or segmented?

Figures the cocksucker haunting these threads don't delete those.

>>10516918
You can be a committed bisexual man in a straight relationship, anon. It's not your sexuality that determines whether you're a man or not. It's how many truly difficult 8-bit and 16-bit games you actually finished growing up.

>>10516918
There's a mod who keeps falsely giving me bans for "ban evasion" only for me to appeal it with the proof I'm not ban evading at all and the mod is just being a faggot. Considering how much he's allowed to continue abusing the moderation system to hide posts he disagrees with but can't refute, I genuinely don't care about being a little off topic from time to time with the regulars.

>>10516923
It's one of its main issues, it's separate... but it doesn't feel as bad as I thought it would when I got it, and it's a cheap controller, but if you dislike them separate then I can't recommend it to you really.

Wise words, anon. I'm going to commit to this girl 100% and I'm happy with my decision, she's great. Also, I finished few as a kid, but went back to finish all of them as a grown up, does it still count?

>>10516945
>but went back to finish all of them as a grown up, does it still count?
I mean you still technically beat them, and got to experience the endings, but you still never beat them as a child so it's different.

>>10516942
I see, that's fair, anon.
Hope you don't get banned again for this, God bless you.
Have a good day!

>>10516954
I see, you're right. I suppose that explains my faggot tendencies. It all makes sense now! Thank you, anon.

what's my best option if my GBA SP's screen is too small for me to comfortably play, but I still want to play GBA games on the train?

>>10516967
I just appealed another fake ban evasion moderation for... posting a screenshot of my own posts from the end of the last thread. What would even be the issue with this screenshot? That he's upset that the fake fan render is fake and not a real Anbernic product? This mod is unhinged.

>>10516918
I would totally repress if I had a GF too, hell, I AM repressing in the (futile) hopes I get one, that's my cope

Don't have children tho, apparently it’s heritable

>>10516969
Your phone. The v90 doesn't quite do GBA/SNES fully and is the only currently available alternative to the SP.

>>10515189
No, that's the R36S with a Dirtywave M8 inspired case.

>>10516980
I think he wants an sp shaped clamshell in which case he's fuck sine the v90 is indeed ass.

>>10516980
sounds awful. I use my phone a lot, so playing games on it would be a hassle. I assume I'd have to buy a controller add on for it too because lol touchscreen controls
looking online, the miyoo mini plus and other devices using that chipset sound ideal, and for only 50 quid too, screen is both bigger and brighter

theres no way trannies managed to make a chinese android handheld thread on the old fuck video games board about themselves
how do they keep doing this and why do i have to fucking read this garbage on every single board all of the time

Interesting, but end of the day if it requires an additional Teensy and some solder work, I'm out.

>>10517004
It was a few off topic posts, anon. We'll avoid doing it again, no need to get too mad about it, it was a one time thing, a few posts on a single thread.

>>10516889
Depends, sometimes newer chips are also more efficient so it could actually be better.

>>10517006
were the battery and dpad problems from the early batches fixed?
or was that the non-plus variant

>>10517045
D-pad, yes, it was a design flaw and has been changed, it's one of the only things new about the +.
Battery, what battery problems?

>>10517021
>if it requires an additional Teensy and some solder work
Building your own always requires doing your own assembly
The only alternative is buying one from the guy himself for $600 with literal months of wait time
The part I don't get is why someone would make it out of an R36S but I guess they had nothing better to use it for

>>10516930
this 100%
I am also unironically a Woman trapped in the body of a male, which is cool because I am a lesbian, so having a penis is great, the bad thing is that gay men find me attractive because I am somewhat effeminate, and many girls before have thought I am gay, until being friends we start fucking regularly lol...

What I do is I project my feminine mental body unto my female partner, and consider the sex I practice on her, something I experience both in my body by performing it, but I also experience it by proxy as a form of maturbation, vicariously, through her body...

I think this convoluted issue has made me a great fuck with women, I truly do enjoy foreplay and exploring "my body", it is like I am masturbating for the first time in my brand new REAL FEMANLE 100% CREATED BY GOD body, each time I have a new girfriend...

I adore the female essence and identify with it, but I am no bottom nor enjoy men as partners, I do respect the penis, and consider an amazing tool, but males are simply not attractive to me.

So I guess I am lucky my form of perseived femminine essence is lesbian...

I am actually bisexual, but I was molested by an uncle, so I do not really like sexual interactions with males, only females are the object of my true affection.

So I do not even entertain the thought of dressing up, I like being a male, it is only that my essence is more feminine... it is weird, I think I am a butch, think of Captain Marvel, I am that toxic to males that hit on me, and I act like a butch female, because I am biologically a male.

I am a repressed Catholic, and a true believer in Christ, and I rather be a Saint than a Degenerate, the Book talks about it... we can enjoy marriage anyway, but even Apostles write in the new testament that being bound by flesh and desire is detrimental to the spirit.

I've been with over 30 women, and 5 years without sex now. I think of God now, and enjoy Erotica for its Glorious Aesthetics.

Hello, cancelled

>>10516969
Dude please try the cheap yet incredibly well built, RG280V, pic related.

It feel premium and heavy on the hands, much more than the flimsy feeling GBA SP. And the form factor is basically the same. There even is a silver one.

I kept the golden one because its ornaments are Famicon Themed, and I love Gold on Maroon (I adore Klimt).

But seriously, it is a SUPERB GBA emulator.
Reddit has plenty of resources to get it running after you upate it with Retro Game Corps guide to Adams Image.

>>10517109
Dangerously BASED.

>>10517127
Dude the issue is the SP's screen is too small and you completely ignore it just to shove your personal favourite. That helps nobody, especially fellow RG280V bros.

>>10516378
I mean, the OG Retroid Pocket was vertical. I know Retroid's mostly known for the Retroid Pocket 2 and onwards, but the OG was still a thing.

>>10517149
It is "Petite"
You do have to hold it close to your face, but it is insanely portable (smaller than half of wallets I have seen) and potent.
I can see it no problem, but I have found that some cheap glasses for standard "tired sight" from a Pharmacy help me make the image a bit larger, I guess I am getting old.

If you have sight issues I would recommend bigger screens. The GBA SP (RG280V by proxy) was designed for teens not grannies.

Keep in mind the poster I was recommending it to wants to play GBA almost exclusivelly, which is pretty much 2D pixelart that looks AMAZING in small screens.

The RG280V has a native emulator (ReGBA) accessible through the Linux OS or the SimpleMenu interface, which has been optimized for the RG280v chip and peculiar screen, and it has a GPU option for Bicubic Filter and Hardware Scaling "Scale 2x" which makes GBA games look like 24k GOLD on the tiny screen.

Consider GBA games have fonts adapted for smaller screens.

PSX games can be trickier to read with tired eyes, because fonts will be smaller.

Also. reGBA emulator has the only REAL 6x >> Fast Forward of all the emulators, all the Retroarch Cores for GBA wrestle with FF in this tiny chip. But reGBA truly is optimized for the chip.

Great emulator for grinding RPGs in which you can FF the battle animations when you have your best moves already on queue and can spam button A through battles at TRUE 6x speed.

>>10517198
It has a smaller screen than the GBA SP, therefore it's a fucking terrible suggestion here. Again, you're really fucking embarrassing RG280V owners with this shit. GBA games don't even play properly on the screen's resolution.

>>10517198
>The GBA has a small screen therefore GBA games look great on ALL small screens, regardless of resolution or PPI!
This is so fucking retarded that I'm convinced you're an Anbernic employee trying to push sales on dead products. I'd sooner recommend the fucking SF-2000 for GBA games.

>>10517198
No one's saying that it's not a good option for GBA, it is, but it's not considering what that anon asked for when he wanted suggestions. That's all.

>>10517226
Yeah... because double the pixel density and a properly optimized emulator capable of 2x Scale will not make games look better than the GameBoyAdvance Micro.

Come on. What are you 90yo?
4:3 is a superb ratio for NES, SNES, PCEngine, MegaDrive, PSX, etc... the worst thing you get is tiny black bars that melt with the pitch black bezel of the device.

>>10517127
>>10517198
Is Anbernic still even making these? I recall it being a somewhat older model by now, is it still easy to find? I quite like it.

>>10517278
It is older now.. I think it was all the rage in 2021, I got it for Christmas 2022 for about 70 bucks in Amazon and paid 10 bucks for a tiny portable HDD case that fits both the device and its cables + microSD cards + earphones (it has a music player that supports FLAC).

I reckon you can still find it for cheap, it was never artificially scarce like the infamously scalped Miyoo Mini, somehow I believe the Miyoo Mini was a blessing for RG280V because it kept it in the down low.

>>10517295
I'm considering getting one just because the miyoo mini is gone and never coming back.

>>10517109
>>10517127
>>10517198
>>10517276
>>10517295
What the absolute fuck summoned this shit here?

>>10517347
It IS tiny.
Your arms will get tire after an hour of holding it close to your face (I hold it above my chest) on the bed... but then I only play for an hour once or twice per day...

I am not telling you it is the best screen.. but the form factor is right there between GBA SP and GBA Micro, with twice the pixel density, and 6x Fast Forward, plus full PSX compatibility.

PSX RPGs and most simple games run great without analog sticks.

Not everyone is the same. I love having stylized objects, I am autistic like that, and the form factor and build quality of this specimen is superb as a GBA replacement.

Consider the warnings and how I replied to them, those are fair, but not lethal, and some are even misinterpretations because RG280V has double the density of the GBA, so it can afford to be smaller, like the GBA Micro screen.

Pixel art was made for smaller TVs, even the SNES was made for SUPER EXPENSIVE tiny 15 inches televisions in mind, the whole 50 inch Television fade is 10 years old...

Pixel art is to look at from afar.

>>10517372
This reads like a Shop12982456256246 item description on Aliexpress.

>>10517376
Dude I do not even think these are still sold by Anbernic, why would I shill for it a la corpofag?

I recommend it because a whole year has gone by and I am still MADLY IN LOVE with it.... all shortcomings considered.. it is still a superb tiny fetish object that scratches the itch left by my long gone highschool GBA SP.

Basically it goes in and out of your jeans pocket easier and faster than your wallet, it is that tiny and portable. And it has weight to it. It feels official Nintendo thingy.

>>10517390
You know damn well Anbernic still sells them. You even just said you believe they're still available because the Miyoo Mini took its steam. Now you're just blatantly lying.

>>10517421
Wow, you should be a detective.
Your deductive prowess is needed by the CIA.

LOL I didn't even buy mine from them, I got from Amazon a year ago when Miyoo Mini was being scalped... A YEAR AGO... what does that have to do with what is available in the market TODAY?

And even if it is available, good for whomever wants to buy one, you act like I am recommending him to cut his penis off.

I wonder if retroid's going to do an updated Flip with the 4's specs? I just bought the 2S a few months ago so I can't justify getting a new one already, but I don't think I could resist a clamshell

>>10517524
In all likelihood the Flip series is probably dead.
Reliable plastic hinges are a bitch to manufacture.

>>10517524
They won't do a Flip 2 unless they figure out how to get the new sticks on there.

>>10517226
Something is wrong with that image. 480/320=1.5. That's a 3:2 proportion, not 4:3.

>>10517524
Unless it'll have a second screen, what's the fucking point?

>>10517548
You're right. I had to manually type in the RG280V's specs and fucked up with the aspect ratio. But the screen is still smaller.

>>10517524
if the miyoo leak is real i think they’ll see how that goes and whether it’s popular enough to justify trying to piggyback. they’d have too much to fix as is to try again without a market prompting.

I'm excited about the Miyoo Flip. Not to buy or own the thing, but to see how badly Miyoo fucks it all up. Not one of their Miyoo Mini releases went well.
Top tier to end the year with seems to be the RP4/4+ and a GDK Pixel.

>>10515795


If a Redmi Note 10 pro 5g can play Genshin, the RP4 with the same proc and more ram likely can.

Wait for the Steam/ Odin 2 flip. They aren't going to make it with a bigger screen, even though it's a clamshell.

>>10518178
>2011
>Hello, canceled.

What's your favourite device(s) of this year?
What are you hoping for next year?

>>10518197
Honestly, I've bought about a dozen devices, but the only one I bought twice was the SF-2000. It's the single most comfortable horizontal handheld I have ever held in my life, and it has all the little details down perfect like having a power switch and volume wheel. Not the best at GBA and SNES emulation, but it's also the one everybody I've been talking and showing them to since I got into them back in March of this year with the RG35XX have all loved the SF-2000 for its simplicity. And it's fucking $15-20.
I mostly use my R36S though, not my favourite vertical handheld from even this year, but it plays the N64 and DreamCast titles I wanted in handheld form. Planning on the GDK Pixel and RP4 standard next.

Do any of these have low input lag? Can any so runahead or preemptive frames, and if so what is the entry price for that kind of performance?

>>10518319
>Do any of these have low input lag?
Lowest input lag would be something like the Analogue Pocket that isn't using emulation but FPGA. Otherwise, most of them are around 2 frames of delay standard except shitters like the Odin devices that have way too much lag.
>Can any so runahead or preemptive frames, and if so what is the entry price for that kind of performance?
I'd say T618 and above let you turn runahead on without any issue.

Can someone please explain the appeal to me of these chinese handhelds? Like why not just use your phone with and xbox one controller or something? Am i missing something?

>>10518332
I forgot a laptop too.

>>10518321
Okay, thanks for the info fren. I'll need to replace my hacked 3ds eventually anyways, so I'm gonna go ahead and look into these bad boys.

>>10518197
The only device I bought this year was the RG35XX so, I can't compare it to anything but I'm very happy with it. If the Miyoo Flip leaks are real and it can play N64 & PS1 games without any issues my life is officially over. I'll live in a van and play it all day until I'm dead.

>>10518332
>>10518335
>Am i missing something?
About ten years of life and thirty IQ.

>>10518342
>That hinge design
Aaaand it's already fucked and gonna crack/snap. Looks like instead of having a proper hinge that requires extra pieces they just made the plastic thicker, which doesn't fucking matter when pressure points from the top half's weight still exist.

>>10518342
>>10518370
The two screws directly between the screen and the hinge has me laughing. The idiots probably think that will somehow brace the hinge and not have the complete opposite effect of creating ADDITIONAL stress points there.

>>10518364
No but literally what is the appeal? Dont just resort insults actually answer my question.

>>10518372
Miyoo is a bunch of ragtags who struggle to hand-assemble 200 units of a device every four to five months. They probably felt the SP's hinge was too complicated to replicate/have to assemble by hand and fucked the whole project up cheapening out to make assembling them easier.

>>10518375

>>10518332
I just use repurposed older phones. Never bought a handheld. Have purchased several telescopic game controllers though and some bluetooth controllers so I'm guilty there. (gamesir x2 bluetooth and sn30pro+) are very nice.) G8 looks amazing. Will continue to use phones as I prefer the open ended options a phone has. I don't look down on handheld users. I will say I don't understand the collecting them en masse part. Some are really pretty though like that guy with the psps and the pretty nintendo DS's with the art on em and stuff.

>>10518390
Holy fuck it looks like the two bottom screws go through the hinge itself

>>10518342
>>10518390
So does this fucking piece of shit even have analog sticks or are they analog slider trash?

Meanwhile Anbernic's SP flip handheld is literally just the GBA SP with four face and shoulder buttons, basically a retarded and pointless version of the RG35XX+. At least it has a proper hinge.

>>10517240
When I swe this gif I think of Land of The Lustrous; which I eagerly hope for a season 2 of someday.

I have done nothing but laugh at both Miyoo and Anbernic since the Miyoo Mini Plus/original RG35XX releases. Everything by both since has been laughable trash or so specialized that they barely sell.

>>10518413
Do Chinese emotes seriously have slanted eyes?

>>10518413
The assymetry with those face buttons looks really fucking lazy and awful

>>10518383
where are you going that you absolutely need a dedicated handheld?

>>10518387
I use an android

>>10518392
Thanks for the reply. Yeah i really like the look of the white ds lites so i can see the appeal there

>>10518435
The toilet for a massive shit or between college classes depending on my schedule.
I have played hours of Animal Crossing Wild World, New Leaf, and once brought my Switch for some New Horizons in my favourite college restroom stall in a wing nobody ever fucking uses, playing every handheld Animal Crossing title as thety released instead of socializing with classmates.

>>10518435
Gotta do something when hanging with my autistic friends who like to play handhelds while chatting together/not playing Smash Bros. It gets pretty fucking weird being one of five to seven guys not staring at a small screen. They hate the fact that I prefer "fake Chinese knockoffs" over a 3DS or Switch but I find it a little endearing, that two of them seem to always be trying to "other" me for not being as autistic as the group.

>>10518435
When you get to college, you're going to be the one kid asking why he can't just use his phone's calculator instead of a scientific one, and your professor is going to dedicate the entire class's time making an example out of you.

>>10518435
To play video games, which requires physical buttons. I'm confused on why you're confused. It's all about convenience. It's more convenient to use accurate, reliable inputs on a device that just turns on and continues the game I was recently playing. I don't have to kill my phone's battery bottlenecking a bunch of background applications and having Google babysit everything I do while trying to play a game. Carrying a clip-on controller, or worse, an actual fucking console controller to use woth your phone right there kills any and all convenience of portable gaming has. Unless you're playing some idle Farmville-tier bullshit or Cut The Rope, playing games on your phone is fucking retarded and a terrible experience even when proper games can run well through emulation, or worse, streaming.
I don't even know why I'm bothering because every /hhg/ has one post-2000s manbaby asking why anyone likes handhelds. Which we all know, in reality, is them asking us why THEY should like handhelds. They see people liking a thing they don't like, but they Common Core education has bludgened it into them that they NEED to be included in everything. You were never interested in handhelds, you're interested in being included. Your entire generation by design can't fathom people liking things without including you. How the fuck did you even discover this thread? Did the kid who keeps getting banned from here run to /v/ to bitch about /hhg/ AGAIN?

>>10518485
This is such a wierd thing to say i dont get what point you are even trying to make here. You really thought you did something huh?

>>10518508
What the fuck are you even on about this is my first time in one of these threads you seem unhinged

>>10518510
Ya, I grossly over-estimated your literacy level and your ability to even get into college. This is a handheld thread for retro games, neither of which you obviously have any actual interest in.

>>10518514
>this is my first time in one of these threads
I know. You're so new it physically hurts. That's why I asked how you fucking discovered this thread, you illiterate and impotent idoot.

which color you getting bros?
also preordering or waiting for reviews?

>>10518517
And now you are attacking my literacy lol i think you are just grasping for things to be mad at now. You are a very sad person.

>>10518520
I see no reason to engage with you any further i already got my answer further up from someone else who didnt resort to immediately insulting me and making wierd assumptions. Good luck on your anger management :)

I never bought a Retroid before but this is the one, buying it day one with no remourse. They seem to be the one company that has 100% consistant quality besides the launch RP3 Flips.

not entirely sure yet as each of those colors has their good points, as for preordering, probably will if they have PayPal as a payment option since I could then do a payment plan so I can spread out the $200 over a two month or so period instead of all at once

>>10518826
>1000$
ok

>>10518332
I do use my smartphone actually, attached to a telescopic controller to give it more of a Switch form factor, and it works well for me. However, while this is a solution, just like using an XBOX controller like you mentioned, that isn't really what most people here want. In general people don't own multiple smartphones, and playing on your main smartphone for messages and calls is quite a bother depending on how many of those you get in a day, also many people just prefer to have a distinction over their devices that are for work and the ones for play. Also, a controller on a smartphone that's already quite big might be a handheld, but it certainly isn't pocketable, you'll need a bag to take it with you to places, while a lot of these handhelds are pocketable instead.

Also, just addressing your laptop question, it's simple really, a handheld's way smaller and a lot easier to hold and carry with you, also easier to play on your bed, while a laptop would have to sit on your lap for that to be viable, but a handheld just fits in your hands and allow for you to be in a more comfortable position at all times while you play. I think that's all there is to say about this...

No need to get disencouraged about getting a bit of a bad reception, I think it's fine if you want to post on these threads, but you need to get that coming into the thread and acting as if the whole point of it for most is baffling/not valid makes it so they take it personally, they'll get bothered by you, you have to be more respectful about it, and not confront people on liking stuff.

In general a lot of us smartphone users in these threads get a lot of hate, some of it is quite unfair in my eyes, but a lot of it comes from the classic "Just use your phone" posts we still get.

>>10518853
Don't, give him a bicycle instead or a book.

>>10518070
>>pre-order, starting 12/21/23
well, yes, PRE-order. not clear when you can actually order it, not clear when you actually receive it from China. also it's not guaranteed it won't have any issues. it's generally best to wait for reviews anyway

>>10518963
i know, was just poking a little fun at you anon

there is an undeniable tinge of cope in your voice tho

You people realize that D900 is a downgrade over T618 for some PS2 games like Timesplitters 2, right?

>>10518894
It was a harmless question really but i guess it gets asked alot here. I was unaware. I was just under the impression that everyone used their phones since we all have one at this point so when i saw this thread i was suprised.

>>10519031
I see, that's understandable, anyways I hope I was able to clear things up for you, if there's anything you're still confused about I'll be happy to answer if you'd like.

Have a good day, anon.

>>10518826
No it doesn't but I hope you enjoy it.

>also many people just prefer to have a distinction over their devices that are for work and the ones for play.
This specifically. If somebody hasn't learned this within their twenties, they're doomed to "multitask" and procrastinate any work they're supposed to be actually doing by distracting themselves. Whether someone's on the spectrum or not, having one device for everything means you're going to be doing everything on it half-assed. Nowadays, most people I know with a work phone carry three fucking phones with them at a time usually.

>>10518963
Haven't bought a Retroid yet but they're the one company that's consistently quality in their builds. The only issue I've ever seen with any of their devices are the weaker hinge on Flip launch units, and the RP4/4+ don't have hinges.

>>10519031
>I was just under the impression that everyone used their phones since we all have one at this point
This is purely a mindset that literally only Western zoomers and corporate fat suits have.

>>10519121
>consistently quality in their builds
>hinges in flop failing after a few weeks

>>10519181
Do you need to repeat what people say to you in face-to-face interactions too for you to register a conversation? Unless you're seriously trying to argue I can't say Retroid has "consistent quality" if they fix the one flaw they've ever had? "Noooo, you're not being consistent in your quality! If one batch has an issue, they ALL should have that same issue!!" Fuck off.

so retroid pocket 3/plus/4 have 4,6' inch screen
and my phone (realme gt neo 2) have 6,62 screen size...
so my phone have bigger screen than retroid? that would be super bad cuz it's hard to see anything on my phone when playing gc or ps2 games.

>>10519283
If 6.62 is too small for you, then your only real option is a Steam Deck.

>>10519012
nuanced differences like this aside, still an upgrade

plus you really have to be poor to not opt for the pro instead if you're legitimately considering pulling the trigger close to launch, especially since the ones who go for the base one would be the same people crying if they did the retroid classic and released a better version a few months after

they're literally setting it up from the jump to prevent that this time, you can even take your time and save the additional 50 bucks if you need (lmao)

>>10519283
Never heard of your third world brand phone before, but your retarded ass doesn't seem to understand what pixel density is. The higher the PPI, the tinier everything will look unless upscaled properly. For example, trying to play GBA games on the outside screen on the Galaxy Z Flip5. It brute forces a native resolution and won't allow for scaling, so it's impossible to see due to how tiny it is.

>>10519129
Yeah i guess whatever you say bro

>>10519320
Yah, nah, don't strawman me. I've been waiting to get a RP3+ since I was currently content with my RG35XX and R36S, but the base RP4 model is perfect for me. It's literally the RP3+ with the fucking Start and Select button placement fixed. I only care about DreamCast and N64 emulation at this point, the RP4+ is overkill for that and a waste of an extra $50.
Besides maybe Jet Set Radio Future, there's not a single thing from the GCN/PS2/Xbox era that I would want to play on a handheld.

>>10519325
>Never heard of your third world brand phone before
Indian iPhone clone from fucking Alibaba.

>>10519320
>You must be poor if you only spend $150 instead of $200 on this frivolous novelty to play games you can already fucking play on dozens of other devices you already own
Even if you only consider relative poverty, you're being a fucking retard, mate. Spending 25% more on novelty products doesn't make you richer than the rest at all.

>>10519349
>being in such a bad financial position that 50usd is a death blow
you have larger issues if you think like this bud, you really shouldn't be looking at "novelty products" at all

>>10519320
You can stop projecting your poorfag fomo mentality any time now, kids and the 'tisms people literally stop doing that shit by high school when they have to start earning their own money instead of getting everything from mommy and stepdaddy.

>>10519357

You're aging yourself too hard, young man.

>>10519358
>t. flyover frank earning federal minimum wage

>>10519357
The only issue here is your mindset around money. It really sounds like you can't afford fucking either device but still want to feel involved, and you know what poorfags fucking do when they can't buy in? They bitch online, like you are doing, kek. Complaining's free, I guess.

>>10519363
I'm not from the US or Europe, so I genuinely can't tell if you're referring to Republican states or the country of France.

>>10519363
>t. isn't even earning his local minimum wage
Weird flex, but okay. If you can't afford a Retroid why are you even in this thread?

>>10519368
not complaining, making a reasonable argument and all of you triggered by my response are the ones assblasted

i literally made the point that the cost difference is really small if you have the luxury to be buying something like this in the first place, and your amerilard reading comprehension came to the conclusion that i'm the poor one - good one

>>10519380
Your argument is that you should always buy the most expensive thing even if you don't even need it and if you don't buy the most expensive thing, you must be a poorfag. While discussing the difference between a $150 and $200 version of the same fucking toy.

>>10519380
A 33.3% increase is not a "really small difference" fucking anywhere, any context. People are shitting the bed over Steam taking a fucking 30% cut. How are you this fucking terrible at math and money? You're criminally idiotic.

>>10519378

What's the OS like, or is it just Android 10/11? Does it have any games?

>>10518508
Rooting or even debloating an older phone you don't use. ( we all upgrade eventually) negates pretty much half of your long post which I didn't read. So yeah. Most of my emulators have a "restore previous session?" Option pop up when I start em. One or two clicks. I won't look down on you handheld user. But these claims are fake and gay. Phone use is completely viable. My phone batteries are 4000 and 5000 mah. I play for hours on end before meeding to charge when I even play that long.

>>10518508
And I dont visit other game boards. I only fuck with VR because fuck modern games these days for the most part.

>>10518894
To be fair; as an adult. I don't really need anything "pocketable". I actually love having a carrying case. The ones that come with the gamesir x2 bluetooth are fantastic. I'm for anything-anything that lets people play retro games. The superiority complex is silly though for those who act as such. For me? My personal satisfaction comes from having found the cheapest ways to play my games that don't involve hundreds of dollars in purchases. For some, there is an addiction factor; if you have more than one or two handhelds; are you really playing all of them regularly? On the other side of the coin; I have mad respect for anyone who has collected their items over the years and kept their stuff in prime condition like the psp/ds guy I mentioned with the pretty artwork. Any stable individual should be able to look at either view objectively and be like "both are cool". For example; Ive never purchased a handheld but the retroid pocket series has consistently put out great product. The odin series seems solid as heck. Gpd products fascinate me.

At some point one of these mini pc types might actually get me as again I'm allured by multi-functionality. And having a pocletable Linux computer sounds pretty dope, but again.... my phone kind of is that already. Whenever I upgrade to a new phone I buy two in case stolen/lost/broken. So I habe two samsung a0S3s that should I upgrade will be amazing psp players or replacements for my stylo 5 ahould that ever die. And those were only 50$ each

>>10519418
Gotta love it when a post fumbles itself after admitting they didn't even read what they're responding to, at least you're honest.

>>10519418
Viable has never been a substitute for optimal, and if you ever cared to notice, the majority of these threads come down to anons trying to formulate their ideal device to play video games on. We're no experts (well, a couple actually are) but we're definitely dedicated hobbyists/fanatics who know what we're talking about.
Look at this graph and try to start understanding it.

>>10519460
I'm losing so much sleep over this, you have no idea.

>>10519482
Ummmm, when you reach apecs like the s23? It goes from optimal to supreme. Nice try though I guess. Depends on your use case honestly. My old lg stylo 5 playa everything I want with no issue so you have my permiasion to continue to projevt and whatnot.

>>10519482
Youtubers are mislabeled because it implies they don't have confidence in their knowledge

>>10519482
Surprisingly accurately, too many anons like to think they know better than the chinks but they're the ones who have actually done the trial and error of seeing what can work and what doesn't with their various designs. The evolution of these things over the past three years alone has been quite the journey. Meanwhile, what the fuck do the latest smart phones do besides focusing on restricting customers from using, fixing, and modifying their purchased product? Numbers go brrrrrr and having better quality cameras, higher resolution screens, more storage space, etc is beyond past diminishing returns at this point.

>>10518435
>you absolutely need a dedicated handheld
There is never any scenario where you absolutely need video games, but if you WANT to play them, there are numerous factors that can make them either more convenient or more frustrating
I'm personally not gonna carry around an Xbox controller in my pocket just in case I feel like playing a game, but some of these handhelds are convenient enough to carry around that I might take one with me somewhere

>>10519490
Literally nothing about the s23 remedies any of the issues with mobile gaming, including the ones you listed your very self even if you passed them all off as nothing that bothers you personally, and even goes against your advice of using an old debloated phone as the one to game on. Make up your mind, my dude.

>>10519502
>There is never any scenario where you absolutely need video games
I can fabricate hundreds of scenarios where you would need video games, mostly involving your future livelihood being affected by your lack of video games. Like if you were paid by a big publisher to produce a video game, and then you didn't.

>>10519502
Smart phones need video games to compete with one another. Nobody on the planet is buying an iPhone that can't run even basic bitch shit like Candy Crush and Roblox.

>>10519513
Are you suggesting game development is a financially viable career?

>>10519506
>so poor he can't afford to buy two s23 at the same time, one for internet/calls and one for gaming

>>10519521
No, I am saying if you agreed to produce a product for a large company and failed to do so, it would affect your career significantly, if not your entire life. If that product's a video game, then you would need to have a video game.

>>10519517
>Smart phones need video games!
>Will you play video games on smart phones?
>No! I don't like smart phone video games!!
Sensible chuckle and reminded me of this classic

>>10519492
I have never seen one of them express any level of confidence in themselves or their ability to talk on the fly about these handhelds. I tried two different Retro Dodo streams during ARC and RG35XX+ announcements and they were all just awkward children only actually doing anything when the chat instructed them to.

>>10519513
>>10519517
>>10519539
Sorry I thought this was obvious but I meant in terms of a consumer actually playing the game
Of course you might want to play it, but you will never "need" to play it

>>10519547
In that case the only thing I can come up with is some bizarre, impossible scenario like the Saw movies where somebody has to play a video game or they'll be killed, or Gamer where eSports faggots control literal prisoners through AR, and we both know that shit ain't happening.
Love seeing Dexter's actor go full villain tho.

>>10519553
>we both know that shit ain't happening
Yes.

>>10519553
Hello, Anon. I need to play a retro game.

>>10519553

RETRO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>10519490
Your phone's specs haven't been the issue for about a decade now, it's the fact your phone has no fucking buttons.

>>10519000
not really cope, more just a bit sad. ofc better specs are good, but then again I don't think I'd want my device that much later. when 4 comes out, you could still wait for 5, then wait for 6, and so on. it's an endless cycle, grass is always greener in the next product. time is a resource too. every month holding on for the next big thing is a month without using the current product.
I also mostly make my way up going between SNES, Genesis, PS1 and N64. frankly, RP3+ is enough for that. I kind of wish I had fullspeed GC / PS2, but really though, I haven't even bothered with both yet. I know some PS2 games run well on RP3+, but I just feel lazy to try them. don't even care about 3DS and PSP.
lastly, I have sensitive eyes, to the point I can't use half the screens today. if they put a shitty OLED or a bad IPS in it, I'd just have to return it. RP3+ has been fine, but I had to adjust colors and turn on yellow tint. I know I'm walking the line here.

>>10519596
My gamesir x2 bluetooth has been fantastic. My sn30pros have held up to the test of time even with button mashers like dynasty warriors. And the g8 is looking like a masterpiece. What happens when a handhelds buttons break or wear down? For me; I just replace my controller.

>>No goyim! You can't just use your phone to play >>all of the games you love! You must purchase >>from mainland somewhere or other!

What's funny too is half this thread is spent critiquing the fuck out of said handhelds anyways.

You could've been peaceful; but you chose to be obstinate. I don't shit on handheld users, but you autists think the S23 being able to play up to PS3 is somehow negligible. Sure man. Enjoy your handheld; I'ma gonna keep using my phone like I do.

>>10519541
I guess that strip made sense back when mobile wasn't the biggest and most important market for video games yet. Now only out of touch millenials would find it funny and witty.

>>10519716
Only a child would think being called inexperienced is insulting.
>What happens when a handhelds buttons break or wear down?
You fucking buy/make new ones. Oh wait, your entire generation thinks self-repair is a criminal offense, kek
>For me; I just replace my controller.
>Then goes on some unsolicited rant about the Jews and consumerism
>After admitting he fucking replaces his controllers any time he has an issue
Jesus Fucking Christ, your generation is fucked.

>>10519720
>Goes onto /vr/ to bitch about Millennials being here

>>10519758
False; I haven't had to replace any of my controllers. None of them have broken down. I take care of my shit. :)

>> just buy more handhelds goyim!

Classic. XD

My answer is still no. And it's perfectly fine with me that you game in a way that pleases (You)

>>10519758
Trying to fix my phone IS against the law, it literally says so in the manual and on the inside if you dare to pry it open out of curiosity.

>>10519767
>What happens when a handhelds buttons break or wear down? For me; I just replace my controller.
>>10519767

Imagine tho; Actively hating something for no sensible reason and seeking out boards and threads dedicated to those who do enjoy it. That's some Elliot Rogers incel shit.

>>10519781
It's one thing to be curious and asking why people like handhelds, but it's another when literal children come here just to floss and chant, "okay boomer" like the angry insect drones that they are.

>>10519716
Damn this kid really got ass blasted over his phone not having any buttons

>>10519716
>>10519767
Replacing your controller would cost more than replacing one of these handhelds, especially if it's like a Gamesir or DS4

How is that funny? Actually explain what about that amuses you.
>"Oh hahahaha, the people who like handhelds... also have criticisms about handhelds? That's a contradiction in my common core rotted mind!"
I actually want an answer before your three day vacation, explain how people critiquing things they enjoy is comical in anyway. There's no way you're one of those tumblr-gone-Twitter tourists who actually believe criticism is actual physical assault or some retarded shit?

>>10518197
RG Arc and Powkiddy X28 were my two favorites this year. hoping for an Arc with rk3588 next year kek.

>>10519815
I mean between 2010 and 2016, anytime any game publisher or developer got criticized the entire industry came out claiming they received death threats. I remember a screenshot of one of Anita's death threats was literally a tweet just saying, "you suck". Which isn't criticism, but also is no fucking death threat.

Okay, time to stop spanking the children and get back to handhelds. This GDK Pixel video just dropped earlier today and nobody posted it.

My first gamesir has lasted a year and still going with no issues. My sn30pro is now 3 years old with no issues. My second gamesir just showed up the other day. 50$ pretty cheap to me. And the G8 with hall effect looks very sturdy and beautiful. <3

>>10519815
Ok, answer: you guys critique handhelds all day but shriek like autists when I mention using my phone even though I'm on the record as stating that I don't have any issues with handheld users and that it's a preference. Stay mad. XD

>>10519797
You make me laugh anon. Thank you.

I just feel like picrel is a little much ya know?

>>10520665
Not that anon but I just want you to know that plastic plants do not have the same air cleaning properties as real plants

It is time

My other friend's unit finally arrived, going to fill it with some Mario games and other goodies. Already wrapped my own and put it under the tree :3

>>10520665
i forget how absolutely absurd the game gear is. like it’s in my head as a massive brick but i’ve generally assumed that’s because i was 6-8 when playing my friend’s. but no, its even worse than my memory.

About four different levels of retardation with this segment alone, god fucking damn dude.

>>10520734
Zoomies are really intimidated by the RP4/4+ for some reason. That or it's stealth marketers from competing chinkheld companies trying to deter RP4/4+ discussion. I wouldn't put it past them.

Also on the record as celebrating however anyone chooses to play retro vidya. Yall just chose to crusade on me and tried to report me for discussing thoughts and preference and I laughed.

Your personal persecution complex isn't relevant to /vr/, I posted in this thread all of 2 times. Nobody wants you here. Deal with the fact that it's not just one or even 5 people.

Anyway, here's to an actual dual screen retro handheld that costs less than the 3DS.

Why haven't you bought yours yet, /hhg/?

>>10515214
Does the Backbone really require a subscription? It's a $100 controller and they want even more money from you?

>>10521304
Needs more bezels

>>10521304
Jesus christ that's ugly

>>10521270
If he's who I think he is, then I do want him here, so it's not true that nobody wants him, though I happen to also be a smartphone faggot, so I'm a bit biased. Anyways, let's all just try to be more understanding and respectful, we all have some personal preference that works best for us, and at the end of the day that's what matters. Also, I find it fun to have these discussions sometimes.

>>10521326
It doesn't, you can get the Backbone One while never paying them anything after your purchase, the subscription is for their application, that has a few benefits, but nothing crucial, like giving it this central hub for all video games you have on your device, or being able to use it on your PC, I think no feature of the application is truly a must at all, for some it's worth it, but it's not required.

>>10521391
Fair enough. I also happen to emulate on my Note 20 Ultra a lot, especially NDS, since the phone even has a stylus and everything. But action games are either terrible or I have to use the 8BitDo Micro I carry with me, so it's a tiny bit less ass. That thing cost me like 12 green ones, so I couldn't care less if it breaks or gets damaged, whereas I'd try to keep an RP4 Pro better-protected.

>>10521404
A Note 20 Ultra sounds fantastic, still better than most current midrange smartphones to be fair, It sounds sweet to emulate DS on. 8BitDo seems to get a mixed reception here, though I like them as I've never had a problem with their stuff, and it's quite cheap, depending on what you get. I'd say it's the main benefit of getting a controller for a smartphone over a dedicated handheld, most of the controllers are quite cheap, so if they break it's fine, unless you go for a Backbone of Kishi, I don't think they're all that worth it for their cost, but that's just me. Hope you enjoy your RP4 Pro!

>>10519819

>>10514971
m8, that's just how these chinese handhelds are. they pump them out so damn fast that by the time you get one in from a preorder, there's only a week or two to wait for the next one to get announced. if that's not cool with you then don't bother getting into them.

>>10521304
I'm trans btw

>>10521521
I bet they're punching walls in frustration once the RP4 got announced I know I am

Why? they are way different, different form factor, different targets

but also; Disclaimer! I tried two different backbones with defective thumbstick issues. Look to the G8 (looks amazing!)or the x2 bluetooth for something cheaper

>>10518524
I'm going to wait for the reviews to come out, but if I do get one it's definitely going to be the 16 bit one. Always loved the SFC button color scheme.

A 5" 16:9 gives 4" of 4:3 space if that's what you're asking. If you literally mean what 16:9 screen size would give the same total 7.7" area as a 4" 4:3 screen, that would be a 4.25" 16:9 screen. Interesting how the former is essentially a Vita screen while the latter is essentially a PSP screen.

So… RP4 really has active cooling now? that looks like a fan. wtf. I'm not sure what to think of this. I guess it doesn't matter (or could mean more performance even), but it's just weird

>>10521729
>requires tape mod
yeah no

Will the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro be able to play Silent Hill 2 and Simpsons Hit & Run?

I was playing Metal Slug X on my Miyoo Mini+ and the game slows down when a ton of shit is happening. But the on-screen FPS counter suggest the game is running at 60 FPS during these slow downs. Is the MM+ too slow for Neo Geo games, or Metal Slug X on the Neo Geo has always been slow?

>>10522442
On some areas is designed like that to give you room for react

>>10522424
>>10522424
Please respond

>>10522454
Ah okay. Good to know.

>>10522424
Rp3+ can play sh2, so yeah.
But you have to fuck with settings for every ps2 game, so you're probably too tech illiterate anyway.
>>10522079
This guy lives in this thread and bitches about them nonstop

>>10522385
>So… RP4 really has active cooling now?
"now?" it was announced with it

and the flip had a fan (albeit uselessly placed) too

>>10522424
The rg405m plays both of those games nicely. Im sure anything with better hardware inside, like the rp4 pro, will have no problems.

>>10515942
this shit is crazy, the console and pc versions have had controller support since release

>>10522424
>>10522716
You'd probably be better off playing the Gamecube version of Simpsons Hit & Run, Gamecube performance is typically better than PS2 performance on these things.

>>10522704
OK, I didn't pay attention to flip. so is having a cooler fan bad / good / neither?

>>10522757
It is good if is placed correctly

>>10522757
i can't reasonably think of an instance it'd be bad, but the flip had a shit-ass one that was blocked and didn't work as well as it could've, but i mean do you not get what a fan does? sincere question
>>10522767

>>10522773
I'd just hate if it added noise or cost battery life. also since it's a portable device, a little worried something might drop inside those holes

>>10522773
I've read the Flip ended up getting a second fan that was completely silent. No idea if that's true or if the blockage was fixed.

>>10522784
If you're maxing out on PS2 or something, you'll just have to deal with the reality of needing a fan at this time and price. For the vast majority of stuff though, you should be able to simply turn the fan off. Odin Lite and Flip both had this option, I assume it just makes the clock rate where fan would be needed inaccessible until you enable the fan.

>>10521521

>>10522865
i believe you, i have no interest in the flip so only passively pay attention to it cause i think retroid generally makes good shit

My PSP is has died. IS a Vita a good replacement or should I get another PSP

>>10519445
I'm the same, overall I like to have my wallet on my left pocket, smartphone on the right, keys on the shirt's pocket... and that's it, anything else it feels like it's too full, so I also love having a case or a bag with me to put my stuff in when I go to places. Also agree on your other points. I'd like to get a mini PC for when I move in with my GF, for the living room as a media and emulation center.

>>10522291
Well... do what, anon?

>>10518853
My little boy steals my RP2S from me all the time, and it's cheap enough to give to a little kid without worrying about them breaking it while still being capable enough to not suck.

I prefer to carry handhelds in my jacket's inside pocket.

>>10523000
Depends on how much you can buy it for.
If a chinkheld like the RP3+ is cheaper, you should just get that since you can emulate PSP with enhancements.

>>10522751
No you're not. The gamecube version targets 60fps. Playing the ps2 version, specifically the european version, is the best version to play on these underpowered devices.
Source: my own experience

>>10523245
have you considered the european gamecube version

>>10522385
>>10523137
damn that's hot. is there one for the red too?

>>10523247
Honestly, no. The gamecube version just isn't the trouble for me over the ps2 version regardless. 60/50fps is nice but the drop in audio and texture quality doesn't really make up for it, and if you're playing on a handheld with no analog triggers, you can't even take advantage of the analog trigger driving controls of the gc version either.
Also as someone who likes to alternate between dpad controls and analog stick controls, the ps2 letting you switch on the fly while you drive is better for me. For some reason the gamecube version maps the dpad to warping your car back in place.

>can only spare a $10 difference
what did retroid mean by this

Eyyyyyyy! I did it! I fired off an order for the Gameair G8 Galileo! Excited. Also I thought I would add that if yall order now you can get 10% off by using the code: HONEY10OFF
See picrel. With that and my two gamesir bluetooths I should be frikkin set on controllers for a long time. It's cheaper on their website than on amazon or amazon or anything btw.

>>10523308
Free shipping too!

>>10523306
It means you just missed the black Friday sale

>>10523046
It's what I really loved about the gamesir x2 bluetooth controllers is that they came with a sweet case, plus my phones fits in a pouch in the same case.

>>10523325
Now that's genuinely incredible, almost makes me want to go and get a GameSir x2 for this, I wish it was the standard with these controllers, they mostly come with the cases separate, or in most cases don't even have one to buy, I went and improvised with mine, using a case from an old tablet I had that doesn't work anymore, it's not solid, nor a good it, but it kind of works...

Anyways, did you get the G8? Hope it turns out to be as good as you're expecting, everything I looked up about it certainly makes it feels like a true jump for the telescopic controller market.

>>10523286
The RP4 has analog triggers, and I don't know what people have been telling you about the Gamecube version, but the audio and textures aren't that much worse. The performance (and control) increase is definitely worth it IMO.

>>10523325
why do you have two of them

>>10523308
Make sure to review that thing. I got memed into getting the x2.

>>10523340
Probably a backup. You never know when or why a telecopic controller will fail. Its just the price for not being a controller mount. Feels way better but has a million more problems

>>10523337
No one had to tell me anything. I've played both versions myself on original hardware. It comes down to personal preference as always for graphics vs. performance and for simpsons, im in it more for the audio and visual experience than for the driving experience.

>>10523336

>>10523358
Have you played them on a mobile emulator? The entire reason I brought up the Gamecube version over the PS2 version is because AetherSX2 performs nowhere near as well as Dolphin on android. And I'm not talking a few frame dips here and there, I'm talking 60-70% framerates depending on the chipset.

>>10523346
X2 bluetooth or usb c? The x2 uabc ia shit but I lovey bluetooths.

Are there other devices like that chicken/tiger(?) one that somehow "change" gameplay?

>>10523374
Usb-c. Piece of shit almost damaged my ush port, but ended up destroying itself instead.

>>10523367
Yes, I did, i stated in my first post im talking from experience. But it seems like you're gonna just keep going on until you hear something about the gamecube version that validates it for you over playing the ps2 version, so here.
Play the gamecube version, it has analog trigger driving so you can enjoy precise steering and never fuck up on turns
There you go. Now you tell me what the fuck have you played and on what mobile device because you talk like someone regurgitating youtube videos and posts online.

alright chinkshit handheld experts making all sorts of designs, how would you want a phone designed? or how would these handheld companies design one?

>>10523336
4 LG Premiere Pro LTEs - I loved this phone and used it for a few years. Good for any older systems:GB, GBC, GBA, NeoGeo, WonderSwan, NES, SNES. (although kirby's dreamland stutters a little I noticed) and PS1 like 60% of catalog if using epsxe.
LG Stylo 5 -Sister gave it to me when she got a Ssung 23 ultra. Plays all the prior plus PS1, N64, and most of PSP.

>>As for why two? I always buy two of everything if I've tested it and like it. "Always have a backup is my motto" In this case. One for my GBA phone and one for my ps1/n64 phone.


I will definitely get back to yall on the G8's performance! It looks so sturdy and gamesir above all hasn't let me down so far; 8bitdo has been good to me too.

Yeah; I returned that thing immediately. We gotta time travel and beat up whoever thought it was a good idea to put the usb-c on the left side. >.<

I just wish they had small bezels instead of round screen corners, and a 16:9 aspect ratio again... it's really all they have to do, 19.5:9 and 21:9 are just awful for retro emulation, too much stretch, or a ridiculous amount of negative space, there's not much of a way around it. I loved the design of the Razer smartphone, to be quite honest, looked so sleek and I wish smartphones were more like it...

Also, Sony's Xperia lineup was superb when they were still 16:9, like the ZX1 compact, just superb.

Well, we'll be waiting for your thoughts, this one looks like the most promising controller in quite some time, and GameSir usually delivers, I've had some good experiences with 8BitDo aswell, wish they'd try making some telescopic controlelrs for a change at some point, hopefully it happens.
