/vr/ - Retro Games

Probably I didn't get some things like price or screen size right, but hopefully we improve them with time.

asked last thread but since it quickly died I'll re-ask here

Gonna be stuck in a hospital for the next day or two. Not sick, but there for a family member who needs me present for a good chunk of their stay.

Any comfy retro games someone can suggest to me that doesn't require sound or a lot of intense involvement? I wanna be able to kill time while still being able to be present and talk with staff/family. preferably something where forgetting what I'm doing cause of distractions won't cause issues, so no RPGs or Metroidvanias or things like that

>>10577264
>>10577205
Any metroid or metroidvania games that you have not played before.

>>10577264
>>10577264
There are like 10 Mario/Wario games on the platform. Pokemon pinballs are quite entertaining too. Street fighters alpha 3 is a good port for the system. Adventures of Lolo is a good puzzle game for the system, very addictive. Small maps.

>>10577256
only the steam deck and asus one look somewhat comfortable to hold

>>10577264
id go for some GB Tetris runs

>>10577205
Kirby is what you need.

>>10577256
You spent more money in that picture than I spent on my previous car.

>>10576016
You're better off shelling out a little more and getting a 256GB Steam Deck. It can actually play games.

What are you playing right now? I played Pokemon Fire Red, Super Mario Land and Mole Mania and that's it.
I do really need a handheld that can do PS2 properly because early 2000 is my sweet spot when it comes to complexity in games, I just can't get hooked on really old games unless they are on PC.

>>10577272
>Max3
That's not how words or numbers work

What's the best controller for phones these days? I have a Razer phone 2, that I bought used a couple of years back as a dedicated emulator machine, but the Junglecat controller sucks ass and is falling apart. Ideally I'd replace it with something that plugs in.

>>10577603
second question:
is the R36S worth it?

R33s where?

>>10577256
You call that a collection, fren?
Where is your RG280V?
Sus, very sus.

I feel like a dork paying 300 canadian for an android gaming phone.. are there any current or upcoming 180-190mm wide x86 devices that can do ps2?

>>10577683

>>10577683
An s10 or plus etc

>>10577683

The GPD Win Mini is the only x86 that gets that small I believe.

i feel they smoked too much opium making that one

Going back to something like the OG 3DS when used to the Steam Deck is fucking wild. This thing is tiny. How the fuck did I ever play Monster Hunter on this?

>>10577717
I don't understand how anyone played anything that required active circlepad control. My o3DSXL felt like it'd come apart playing Smash and Medarot Dual, went back to JRPGs and other passive games and never tried again.

Seems like retroid delivered with the 4 pro

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btOhb-UNCsI

>>10577748
yeah i had an original 3dsxl as my daily driver when i was in middle/high school a decade ago, my circle pad broke off while playing smash after many years of use

bros. I won a 400 dollar gpu in a giveaway, but my pc is shit and I feel like rtx is a maymay and I don't like modern games or the fact I'd have to upgrade my machine to not bottleneck the card. I'm contemplating just selling it and buying a steamdeck oled what do you lot think?

>>10577790
I'd do the same

how the fuck is a steam deck handheld if you need a briefcase to carry it around?

>>10577801
it's as handheld as a switch practically.

>>10577801
You hold it in your hands.

>>10576413
Jesus Christ, that video was useless. 2 hours of fucking around and like 10 games played, nothing on Wii, nothing on Saturn, one whole game for 3DS (the worst one).

>>10577790
Yeah, I bought a new GPU and still found no use for it.

>>10577801
You're not pocketing anything with sticks.
>b-but
You're not pocketing anything with sticks.

>>10577830
>You're not pocketing anything with sticks.
Excuse you.

>>10577830
>what are recessed sticks?

>>10577836
Killed by pockets, that's what they are.

>>10577830
I'm done with non-handheld PCs for games. I just prefer playing on handheld whenever possible. Handheld PCs have gotten so good, and I don't need high resolutions. My GPU is 7 years old and about as powerful/weak as my Deck, similar situation with the CPU. The next time I upgrade it's probably gonna be a Deck 2

>>10577830
The RP2S is pretty pocketable despite the sticks. Since they’re hall-effect, you don’t have to worry about damaging them

RG35XX H or Plus? I don't really need to upgrade either way because my RG35XX does the job but it is tempting.

>>10577859
H between those.

>>10577851
Same here. Next rig is a deck for sure, if it cant with a game there is always geforce now or whatever

Guesses for when they release the RG35XX H+ model
Unless they do an RG35XX HM (Horizontal Metal Shell)

>>10577909
I was just trying to figure out how feasibly small a four inch 4:3 screened device could be before it becomes impossible to play. It could still go smaller, but you'd be using like RG Nano buttons on it.

>>10577909
>>10577915
I would pay $100 for a device with this form factor, d-pad, buttons, and the Allwinner H700.

>>10577272
Wait, so they came out with the RGB10Max3 PRO and are now releasing a non-PRO version? Wtf, is it smaller or something?

>>10577987
It's the same size screen so probably a little smaller yeah, but both still mid sized. I'm guessing the draw is supposed to be the shell (which does look like a good shape and comes in transparent) and a cheaper price.

>>10577851
Right on, handheld bro.
I got rid of my TV when I hacked my Switch and put Retroarch on it. Got a Deck in 2022, and currently waiting for my RG35XX to arrive.
I'm done with desktops and consoles, and will only get a PlayStation again when they make a true handheld again.

>>10577832
Next OP.

>>10577987
Naming convention is all over the place, they just reuse names based on popularity. As you can see, they have nothing in common, maybe screen size that's all. The RGB10 max 3 is cheaper, more ergonomic, less powerful, and I think they don't even share OS.

>three steam decks
do valveshills really?

>>10578070
That's a fairly small amount of Decks for an average-sized person, I'd say?

>>10577254
Is there a reason you're still holding onto the Win600? The games I'm making/would like to show make heavy use of the D-Pad and that position seems really nice. But I've also heard a lot of shitty things about the system.

>>10578070
None of those are OLEDs either so he probably bought a 4th one after that pic too.

>>10577628
>Not the Anbernic 353V or the RG505 or even the Powkiddy RK 2023

>>10577256
Is this from a tiktoker / youtuber that does product reviews? Because otherwise I do not see why anyone would ever have this many hand helds, especially 2x of each kind.

What have I fucking done

>>10578094
Tiktok is not youtube, though. But yeah, I still get at what you are saying with this typical 2x of each kind of handheld.

>>10578098
HELP ME, CHINAMAN
I -REALLY- DON'T LIKE HOW IT FORCES ME TO PLAY POKEMON CRYSTAL

>>10578120
How does it force you to play any Pokemon game?

reddit game uncle got his rp4 yesterday and he still hasn't uploaded a review wtf bros

What's the best vertislop overall?

>>10578121
It's a meme quoting a Retro Dodo review of the RG Nano where he says, "I really like how it forces me to play Pokemon Crystal."

>>10578098
I don't even think any retro consoles output at 720p.

>>10578125
At the moment, RG35XX+ though the R36S actually has analog sticks to play the games above PS1.

>>10578121
"If I start thinking about this like a Pokemon Crystal machine, all of a sudden I just like it a lot more. ...the moment I turn it on, I don't have a choice. It's just going to go directly into Pokemon Crystal. So it kind of forces me to enjoy that game just like how it used to be on a Game and Watch or Tiger Electronics device.

>Anbernic removes and blocks all customer reviews of the RG Nano, kek

>>10578167
I just can't help but feel my eyes will burn out playing more than 5 minutes on this thing.

>>10578167
I dont get the joke.
Why does it force him? because it is the only game playable at that resolution/size?
Why did Anbernic remove the customer reviews?

>>10578167
>65 burgers
WTF!? I would unironically give it a try for turn based stuff if it was like 20-30.

for >>10578203
>Why does it force him? because it is the only game playable at that resolution/size?
Any action game that requires fast and precise inputs is unplayable on D-pad and buttons that small. Any home console game is unplayable on a display that small. So that basically leaves us with JRPGs for handheld consoles, out of which Pokemon games are the most popular.
>Why did Anbernic remove the customer reviews?
Because people realized that the damn thing is too small to be usable after they got it into their hands and quite a few buyers gave it low scores.

Can someone other than powkiddy make a 4:3 RGB30 with a better processor? thanks.
Thanks.

Mark my words, powkiddy will release a new clamshell before anyone does.

You have A pink arm tattoo and you're not funny
>>10578121
It's an "ebin maymay" he spams every thread

>>10578203
He's retarded. It's good for Gameboy, neo geo pocket, and game Gear

what handhelds run linux? just curious about it

>>10577548
Playing Sonic 1 8-bit. I kinda like it more than the 16-bit original in some ways, I like how the Special Stages are just for farming continues and extra lives, while you just need to search throughout the levels for Chaos Emeralds. Plus I weirdly love the more cutesy-tunes of the Master System than the Genesis/MD.

>>10578139
but the only 4:3 console that could actually use the analog sticks is the n64

>>10578437
There are some PS1 games that use sticks well. Not a ton, usually optional, but there are some.

As someone who buys chinkhelds and emulates games, I still think it's a pretty shitty scumbag thing to do when the Chinese sell romhacks on individual carts.

>>10578468
okay poketard.

>>10578472
Selling sd cards with thousands of random roms to americans and not giving a fuck is based.
Selling cartridges without clock support or abandoned hacks is gay. simple ass

>>10578484
got it poketard.

>>10578472
I literally only picked Crystal Legacy because it showed up in my feed, but enjoy the three day vacation for being such a needlessly irate retard.

>>10578235
These nano and micro handhelds all use the same OS and screen size, only difference between them is the form factor and pricing. The FunkeyS being the best of them, but they are all just a novelty/proof of concept and aren't meant for actually gaming on them. These devices do not get any more useless than these, and it is hilarious that Anbernic spent so much resources on it thinking it would be a Miyoo Mini killer.

>>10578354
What does a pink arm tattoo have to do with anything? Pink is a color of inner strength and confidence, only faggots are intinidated by pink

>>10578542
The guy with the pink tattoo is literally a faggot.

>>10578354
>Ctrl+F every thread for weeks
>Was last mentioned months ago and had to go into the archives to see it
You sound personally affected by this meme, Russ. I mean people rightfully shit on the Nano all the time but this "forces me to play Pokemon Crystal" thing isn't nearly frequent enough for any sane individual to be so upset by it existing at all.

>>10578559
Okay? And? We're all faggots here, Narwhale. Why are you obsessing about one anon and his womb tattoo?

>>10578384

>>10578573
Did you already forgot what you JUST posted you absolute brainlet?
>only faggots are intinidated by pink
So you think the literal faggot got a pink tattoo because... he's intimidated by it? How does that make any sense?

>>10578568
I mean there was a while where Redditors were actually being openly shamed because they were just buying chinkhelds to display themselves loading the title screen of FireRed, Emerald, or Crystal and not actually playing them. It could be a Redditor that is personally jaded and now OBSESSes here about himself being called out in one of the screenshots or some shit.
It's pretty fucking sick in the head to schizophrenically OBSESS about someone who laughed at you fot playing Pokemon to the extent you accuse anyone of having similar opinions of being him. Like, "I would eat my own feces if I knew the man who once slighted me in passing would find it to be unsightly!" mindset shit.
Pink arm tattoo guy must have fucking had a sword long enough to pierce through Mister Narwhale's blubber armor.

>>10578582
You really are upset by thr color pink

>>10577605
I love mine. It can actually play some Dreamcast games with a reasonable frame rate too, PSP is hit or miss. Up to PSX though it's amazing. PortMaster ports of PC games are cool too.

>>10577605
Don't listen to this shill btw >>10578585, R36S is only good for PS1 down.

>>10578587
Shill for what, the world renowned Game Consoie company? Nigga you're retarded, for Dreamcast just use GDI dumps, japanese_cake for bios, up the resolution to 640x480 and turn down the default anti-aliasing from 4 to 2 or 0 and you're good to go. Soul Calibur is almost full speed. I also play PSO on my R36S. PSP is getting an experimental emulator build on ArkOS that allows you to fine tune more options in order to obtain smooth gameplay.

>>10578583
Shaming works!

>>10578609
lol okay faggot keep lying that it can even start up a dreamcast game

>0 new
Why has epic forsaken us?

>>10578614
Not always. Actual chinese shills upset that people aren't buying the RG Nano after the initial FOMO faggots "got theirs", and then the only thing they think is a slight against them is a fucking pink tattoo (it's red ink, but I'm not gonna fault a chink for knowing nothing about tats) they chose to have because they think having a tattoo is an admittance of being LE EVIL.
A chinaman can obsess about someone having a tattoo until his social credit score hits zero, all it does is advertise he's embarrassingly chinese.

>>10578652
Tattoos are shameful. You have desecrated your body and violated ethics.

>>10578354
"I like how the RG Nano forces me to play Pokemon Crystal" was pretty funny, Russ. Especially when the entire video felt like a chink was holding a gun to your head the entire time after your initial review of the Nano. Anbernic is really upset they invested so much into that failure, huh?

>>10578619
I literally woke up my R35S from a sleep mode I had forgotten it in while playing a DreamCast game last thread. Are you arguing that the R36S is less powerful than the R35S?

>>10578568
>>10578660
That's not Russ, it's a chinese Anbernig employee responsible for encouraging people online to buy dead RG Nano inventory that nobody wants. He's getting more and more irate because as more people don't buy the Nano and make fun of how stupid it is, the more trouble he gets into at his job and with his country.

>>10578243
I wish the world would remember that the average chink is a good foot shorter than the rest of the world including neighbouring Asian countries, they have tiny little hands. Things are simply just not going to feel the same for every other human being on the planet as it will for a tiny little chinaman.

>>10578665
>sa2
how does that run? 60fps?

>Several posts upset after misunderstanding someone photoshopping Anbernic handhelds is to insult them
>Several posts upset about tattoos
>Several posts defending the RG Nano
>Several posts with straight up confusing grammar, like capitalizing "a" when proceeding nouns or adjectives but not capitalizing the nouns or adjectives themselves
Oh ya. We have a sweating Anbernic employee in this thread attempting damage control.

I had an Odin Pro awhile back, ended up selling it though. Is the RP4 Pro around the same, or weaker than it? Tempted to order one when more reviews come in but I'd like to know that it plays Kirby's Air Ride and Animal Crossing New Leaf with at least 2x res.

>>10578683
It does not run at 60 fps. I've regularly had 40 outside of one or two instances with Tails or Eggman when too much was happenin' on screen. But to have a proper Chao Garden in my pocket for $40 is such a joy.

>>10578098
>>10578120
Cool shop, anon. Want to bring it over to my house? We should inspire more customers like you to like making suggestions visually. It's what makes /hhg/ great.

>>10578098
>>10578717
We still haven't finished this one.

>>10578721
I feel like I should hate this by gut reaction but... the more I look at it... the more it makes sense and, even ingenious. And I don't know whether I should hate it for that, or hate myself for not seeing the light sooner? This fucking thing is making me so conflicted holy shit. Like it's not flawless but it does a lot of things so brilliantly that I've never seen anybody try before and it's blowing my mind? Maybe change the redundant start and select buttons on the right side for a touch pad and I don't know what else you could do to improve it.

>>10578730
It all started as a joke when somebody did this

>>10578736

The watermark on this one is what gets me.

So will the Anbernic Flip have the rockchip or new allwinner chip?

>>10578767

Because of the dpad placement that is perfect for VNs.
I have a lot of VNs that do not use analog at all like 428 Shitbuya Scamble, so the dpad on top is just nice.
But i wouldn't recommend win600 if you only want a single handheld.
Dpad is shit, need high force to press to register - shit for fighting games.
Both analog is shit. It's like the shittest version of fake joycon type of analog - on genshin, it's either 0 or 100%, not to mention the placement of the analog is also shit.
No support on drivers, or maybe it's just my unit - it only works with the stock oem drivers. The moment i update any drivers, be it from amd website or automatically from Windows Update, it crashes the moment it rebooted, the whole thing become very slow.
I kinda fixed it by installing tiny11 core, which do not have windows update, and install only the oem drivers. It sucks because it do not have the access to amd adrenaline, but at least it works.
I also have a tiny usb with batocera for emulations up to ps1. Ps2 games works too but i dont wanna play ps2 games on it with that shitty analogs.
All these problems do not exist with ayn loki zero.
So if you want the cheapest x86, i recommend you ayn loki zero. Win600 is shitter and more expensive (in my country)

>>10577256
>>10576409
Changed my mind on the flexible parts of the screen. Only the middle needs to bend. That way, the locking mechanism that keeps the screen stiff when open has an armored housing. This also protects the sides of the device more. The keyboard will be more symmetrical in the centre and the grips & triggers should fit into each others negative space, without compromising ergonomics. Ok, someone tell Gabe or whoever to make it. They can't ignore us all.

>>10578816
How much would adjusting the keys to have a clean, simple line down the center fuck up your ability to type unconsciously?

>>10578705
I think the RP4 Pro should end being up a fair bit better with its Dimensity 1100 chipset, at least if these synthetic/gaming benchmarks are any indication. Not substantially better in some cases, but a noteworthy step in others. With how much more power it has in a smaller size, it should at least be worth keeping an eye on.

>>10578585
Can you share the portmaster game folder please?

>>10578454
>>10578437
There isn't a single good ps1, n64, saturn, or dreamcast game that requires you to use both the dpad and left stick, and ape Escape is literally the only one that requires the the right stick at all.

This means you can play games from all of those consoles without any sticks, you just re-assign the dpad to be the stick on retroarch. I've played games like ocarina and sonic Adventure this way and it never phased me. You never need that kirsch precision on any of these games. The only place the extra precision of a stick is truly needed, is using the right stick for first person aiming, which none of them ever did.

Also, you're not comparing dpad to a full console stick, you're comparing dpad to a tiny ass little vita/switch nub, which makes even less of a difference for movement since it's too hard to do micro movements.

>>10578839
>There isn't a single good ps1, n64, saturn, or dreamcast game that requires you to use both the dpad and left stick
Quake 64, Quake 2, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark play best with dpad to move and stick to aim, retard.

Can you elaborate on that?
What are gdi dumps? I have CHDs.
And what's the deal with that bios?

>>10578839
>I've eaten shit this way and it never phased me.
I hate it when people settle for trash and think it's a worthwhile recommendation to make. Several N64 titles, unlike modern games, actually use the full analog direction and degree of tilt. Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon has seven distinct fucking movement speeds, I have no idea how many Super Mario 64 has. And it's not like these games can let you magically create and assign a toggle speed button to walk/run/tip-toe.
>Also, you're not comparing dpad to a full console stick, you're comparing dpad to a tiny ass little vita/switch nub
My dude are you fresh off the tour boat and believe that Nintendo and Sony are the only fucking handhelds that exist out there? In this fucking thread of all places?

>>10578852
What the fuck are CHDs? A form of protected disc you can't copy files from?

>>10578872
A file format for CHADs I guess?

>>10578839
>There isn't a single good ps1, n64, saturn, or dreamcast game that requires you to use both the dpad and left stick
No but the majority of N64, Saturn, and Dreamcast games require you to use the left stick.

>>10578823
It's been done before, but I think in this case it can be done with absolute minimal effect. If you notice, the GPD keyboard has already been altered from standard keyboard orientation to be more compact. This would arguably represent a larger deviation than slight symmetry tweaks.

Hello lads, I'm trying to upgrade after sticking with my RG351P since launch. Should I buy a Retroid Pocket 2S or just pony up the money for potentially a Retroid Pocket 4/Pro or AYN Odin 2? The max I care about playing is Ape Escape 2/3 on PS2, if that runs well I'm okay.

The Analogue team would have guaranteed income if they just released a new Pocket each year with a higher PPI but with no change in the physical dimensions of anything. "Now instead of four pixels representing each original pixel... you have five!"

Is this thing supposed to be a GBC chopped in half with a GBP sized screen replacement, or is the entire device shrunken down and uses a regular GBC screen? It ain't no Frog Boy Color but it's still cute.

>>10578963
>>10578903
nOOOOoooOoOooo not my heckin chinkerinos!!!!!

>>10579104
Regular GBC cut in half, making it more square shaped. Also still has a cartridge slot to play physical games, or you could use a flash cart instead. Purely a concept tho, not actually being made. The screen would actually be 2.6 inches and hopefully 320x288, needing a different bezel around the screen. Not sure where the speaker could go, though.

>>10578868
The chinkhelds all use vita/switch sticks you dumb fucking faggot. Learn to read.

And you don't need any of that precision in those games, because they never demand it. You are userl stick full throttle in whatever direction 99.99% of the time in any n64 game.

>>10578882
You can assign the dpad to be the stick in retroarch you fucking idiot

>>10579225
WHY CAN'T THEY USE A VITA SHELL FFS LAST GOOD FORM FACTOR

>>10579225
Tons of games "demand it", you've obviously never played them. Especially 3D platformers where your footing and momentum are so important, even when artificially introduced like in Banjo-Tooie where you have to tip-toe for one of the first only available Jiggies to not wake up the bastard guarding it. In fact I don't think Banjo-Tooie is possible to complete without an analog stick.

>>10579225
So when you eat shit and just assign the Dreamcast and N64 analog controls to a d-pad, do you get to at least set the sensitivity or are you 100% veering left and right like a retard at full tilt?

>>10579226

>>10579225
Literally any game with steering such as Wave Race, 1080 Snowboarding, Cruisin' Gay, even Tony Hawk's Pro Skater adjusts the pitch of your turn based on the tilt of the stick. You can't do that with a d-pad, period.

>>10579389
THEN WHY YOU IDIOTS KEEP ASKING FOR IT OVER ANALOG STICK AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

>>10579393
Nobody wants a d-pad instead of an analog stick for 3D emulation, what the fuck? We just want the d-pad properly placed above the analog stick. That's what people mean they say they want a "d-pad over the stick". Over = above, not instead of.

>>10579393

Imagine having a lot of pride thinking you designed the perfect handheld and before it's even in customers' hands they're all telling you they can't even physically play the games they want to on it because there aren't any analog sticks, my sides are in orbit.

>>10579409
I'm sure the RG35XX+ is selling fine. And I believe the anon who got an ARC and said his customer review link was glitched, which explains why it doesn't have a single review yet despite everyone praising it. But it's still amusing to imagine a man freaking out while his government stands behind him shaking their heads in grave disapproval.

>>10579415
The problem with the RG35XX is that it's completely redundant. Everyone who wanted an RG35XX already got one or a Miyoo Mini Plus almost a year ago, and anyone who wanted a better d-pad on their RG35XX already long replaced or modified theirs. The few people who were waiting on getting one are more likely to get the RG35XX H now due to the sticks and horizontal form factor. The allwinner chip in the RG35XX+ is completely useless, as it doesn't allow you to actually play anything the RG35XX already couldn't with CFW (oops there, lol!). Speaking of which, the RG35XX+ isn't open source and won't be getting its own CFW like the Miyoo Mini Plus and RG35XX original did thanks to Anbernic's fuckery.
At least the RG Nano is unique; a solid FunkeyS that you can actually feel safe having on your keychain without it snapping in half like a toothpick. But the RG35XX+ is a completely useless, pointless device that nobody asked for or wants to buy. It feels like Anbernic got more success than they bargained for with the original RG35XX and they're now crowding their own products trying to turn it into an entire product family line like Apple.

>>10579238
Banjo is fucking gay. Literally a tranny game. You don't need it for Zelda, mario 64, Bomberman, goemon, paper mario, or the other 5 good n64 games.

>>10579423
*The problem with the RG35XX+ is that it's completely redundant.
God damnit, these companies need to start giving these things more distinguishable, memorable names.

>>10579243
It plays completely fucking normal. You are a filthy casual if you've never played any 3D games with a dpad, beginning with the 90% of the ps1 library that didn't even use the stick for precision

>>10579415
It's arguable the Arc's Saturn-style dpad lends itself better to becoming an analogue alternative due to its travel. If a few optical mouse sensors were placed around the outside edge measuring distance direction & speed. It could register minute movement as analogue.

>>10579249
You sperg every thread. The quality of hhg would improve so much if you'd jyst an hero already

>>10579427
Why are you straight up lying, dude? You have violated ethics. You can't fucking play DC and N64 titles normally with a d-pad, except for like WCW vs nWo World Tour kek but then you can't use the analog stick for holds/breaks.

>>10579379
>more shizo nonsense

>>10579385
Not really
Get gud
>>10579389
Everyone who's actually good at racing games knows that using the dpad tapping method is better than stick, that's what everyone always does when they're stuck in a game like gran turusmo. Also, the psp has some of the best racing games ever and everyone uses the dpad not the worthless nub

Filthy casual

>>10579435

99.99% of the people who buy these have never heard of this website. You're retarded. You're like those dumb faggots in the FGC who can't b process that their small minority of screeching tourney fags aren't even 1% of customers. Delusional levels of self importance.

>>10579434
Ocarina, majora, mario 64, and literally ALL dreamcast games work just fine. You're a filthy casual talking out of his ass.

Players have the left stick full throttle 99.99% of the time in 99.99% of all video games ever made

>if you don't bitch and whine about every new device that you never intended to buy anyway, you're clearly a Chinese shill

I only buy devices without sticks explicity because i don't want people playing gay ass nig 64 troon runner games (all 3 of them)

>>10579449
Why are you talking about this website and why would 99.99% of RG35XX owners need to have heard of it...?

>>10579428
No, neither RG ARC model has mouse sensors in them, it's a basic fucking rubber pad that only registers eight inputs like all other (decent) d-pads do. Unless you're just terrible at English and are trying to express a fantasy about somebody modding an ARC.

>>10579461
Because you said anyone who wants a device like that already has one. That's retarded. These are the kinds of devices that people never stop buying, that's why American grocery stores have been selling pure shit 10,000-in-one famiclones for 20 fucking years. So the "everyone" you're referring to is the tiny number of gay autists who shitpost in the threads, and that's it.

>>10579470
I don't want a stick on the arc. Sticks aren't pocketable. I just want it to have a better chip for saturn.

>>10579437
So why does every MonHun player use the claw?

>>10579475
Every handheld I have with sticks is pocketable except for the Vita, it just doesn't feel safe in one. But I'm not arguing for a stick on the ARC either. All I argued is that the ARC is selling fine and everyone seems to like it who got one.

>>10579470
Well, since you're reading comprehension is poor. I will explain again that the dpad style would be adaptable to analogue movement. Perhaps in future, functional hybrid dpads could have more utility.

>>10579104
read that filename as "entitled shitheads.jpg" at first

>>10579486
Cool fantasy, but neither ARC does that. Not that I would want anybody to change them, outside of maybe a mini version with a smaller screen.

>>10579476
One finger for movement, one finger for Camera. Not really any other option on a real psp. In emulation you just set the right stick to be the Dpad

But on dreamcast and ps1, dpad and stick were pretty much always the same. Same goes for 99% of the n64 as well. Ocarina uses the down button to toggle map but there's no select button so you can just make select = down

>>10579492

the idea is so any resolution you throw at the thing will properly integer scale and still use as much screen real estate as possible (outside of aspect ratio letterboxing/pillarboxing)

>>10578852
GDI is an uncompressed game dump. Large files, but it may help the emulator load the data faster. Normally you wouldn't care, but the RK3326 chipset isn't particularly strong, so you wanna help it in any way you can. Generally speaking you're also better off with PAL games rather than NTSC. As for the BIOS, it's a homebrew one that removes any sort of region locking, forces the best video output possible and has an added benefit of boosting the performance of emulators:
https://japanese-cake.livejournal.com/10056.html

The .zip comes with retail and devkit versions both, but the only difference between them is the boot logo, devkit one looks like this:

After you download it you'll have to rename the BIOS files, use this link as a guide:

Couldn't. I caught a ban for making fun of a troon in another thread.

This looks worse and worse every new shot I see of it. How did they fuck up a circular d-pad worse than the Xbox 360's controller?

>>10580376
I might be dumb enough to still get this if they fix the d-pad not doing the BARE MINIMUM of returning to center by launch (they won't).

>>10580395
You are to hold it in the middle by balancing it with your thumb

This encourages dexterity and balance

>>10578996
It's good for screen filters. The Pocket's PPI is so high it can literally emulate the individual subpixels of the original screen (and it does have a mode for that).

what's the /hhg/ consensus on retroid pocket build quality? never owned a horizontalslop before but the 4pro looks like their most refined model yet thinking of getting it if they have a sale or coupon this year

>>10580580
Their build quality is very high quality aside from the Flip's shitty hinge.

Just had the RG35XX Plus ship from Aliexpress. Excited but also scared I am going to get CHINKED!

Is there a guide for flashing a new SD card for this thing?

>>10580580
Their stuff feels VERY very nice post-2+, especially the 2S.

You copy and paste the files from the old card to the new one.

>>10581081
Unless the R33S retails for $25-30, it's useless now. The RG35XX+ is the new stickless hotness.

>>10580621

>>10581205
Yes but still has a long way to go, for the games that I'm playing it's already perfect tho

>>10578903
The Analogue Pocket is good until you realize it's made by fucking Analogue and in a year or two the product will be abandoned like their NES, SNES, and Mega Drive clones and sourcing parts for repair, especially the screen, will be a hassle and a half because they don't sell them.

Okay yah so maybe the d-pad is worse than the Xbox 360's

You mean RGC Russ?

>>10581372
Yeah. he said he would upload a review vid this weekend or monday.

I need an horizontal handheld with >4" screen.

>>10581374

His video from yesterday is heaping praise on the Odin 2 - whereas the Odin Lite is probably the main alternative to the RP4. Like if he just spent a week straight playing the Odin 2, he might naturally emphasize where the RP4 is inferior to the Odin 2. But he may have gotten some incentive from Ayn for the glowing Odin 2 review too...

With that in mind, I too am kind of expecting a half handed pass on the RP4 from him, like he did with the 35XX H.

>>10581386
>I need an horizontal handheld with >4" screen.

Silly, you don't need any of these things they are toys for children. But if you do want a bigger screen for cheap get an X55 or trimui smart pro.

>>10581386
i'm assuming you meant to put "4:3" in there somewhere because that describes pretty much every widescreen handheld.

>>10581398
That's part of the reason I started to expect it, yeah.

No worries! And yo, sorry it took me so long, legit felt like crap today, didn't use my PC up until now.

With that out of the way, here's the link:
https://file.io/kbFviEXjAbf8

Everything from the .zip file (so both the "Stardew Valley.sh" file and the "stardewvalley" folder) needs to go into the ports folder. In my particular case, on SD card 2 (the one for roms), since I like to keep only system files on SD card 1.

It will take a while to launch, but once it does, you're good to go. If it appears to boot, but throws you back to the EmulationStation menu eventually, it means you're missing one of the PortMaster library files.

If that's the case, download:
https://github.com/PortsMaster/PortMaster-Hosting/releases/download/large-files/mono-6.12.0.122-aarch64.squashfs
...and put it in roms/tools/PortMaster/libs folder on SD card 1 (the one with the OS).

Would be nice if someone could download it and mirror it somewhere, maybe compress it better to make sharing easier, 7zip or some shit?

Scout's word there's no sketchy shit in there, you anons can simply download and enjoy, but I'm sure eventually the link will get nuked.

>>10581386
Lmfao. I read that as 'I need a horizontal handheld with 4 screens'.

>>10581293
And these chinkhelds that release 5+ models a year will? Lmao. Some of them even cost about the same or more. So you can't even use the "muh cheaper" argument in that case. Stop being a fag and just use what you want.

>>10581469
no way LoL that's crazy !!!

>>10581601
Who hurt you?

>>10581332
this just looks like 2 videos playing, lol

>>10581608
Lmao!!

>>10581364
Are you guys going to buy this? looks pretty sure but jesus is so fucking small

>>10581398
>he may have gotten some incentive from Ayn for the glowing Odin 2 review too...
It doesn't need glowing, its the best android handheld there is right now.

>>10579286
These are shit. Is there anything new upcoming? Or something in 4:3 at a higher price point thats not already in the OP?

>>10581645
How are they shit?

What will happen first?
>miyoo flip
>retroid vertislop

>>10581624
>Are you guys going to buy this?
Maybe if it was like 40 bucks lol

>>10581624
I understand that ultra small handhelds are funny as a novelty, but this looks atrocious to play on. Its like they tried to copy the RG Nano before it came out.

>>10577256
What's the best DMG screen mod that doesn't require any soldering?

>>10581670
Powkiddy x19s and trimui vertislop. But seriously, but flip is coming soon.

Call me crazy but I think is a little too big, fuck I was actually thinking about buying one

https://youtu.be/P7LGgjlEcZs?si=fyRlzfZKae_MjR7d

>>10581724
handheld pcs are fucking big yeah. that said tbf those are tiny asian girl hands making it appear bigger than it actually is.

>>10580580
Why are their screens so small compared to their competitors in the same power/ price category?

>>10581724
>Windows
So close, yet so far.

>>10581724
I still have no clue how that second screen even functions. Regardless, it has to be thick considering its an x86 handheld, they have to fit in all the parts and decent cooling there somehow.
I'd be really curious to see how hinge holds over time though.

>>10581645
>>10581883

>>10581724
>Doesn't fold down the middle to become pocketable.
Nah, I'll wait for the ultimate clamshell.

>>10581878
Better than Androidshit.

Why are there not as many Koreahelds as there were in the mid 2000s to early 2010s. I BELIEVE IN YOU ROK!

>>10581920
X18S, or something else entirely??

>>10581945
iirc that one has shit ergonomics and controls

>>10581945
>>10578816

Just get a steam deck dude.

>>10581964
Ergonomics on the X18S do leave at least some things to be desired, sure. Still better than the Retroid Flip and RG 35XX H, Anbernic 280v, Anbernic RG Nano, Anbernic 351P Retroid Pocket 1.0, Powkiddy v90 sans CFW, and the typical Miyoo Mini +

>>10582006
Does Valve make a folding 10" clamshell?

>>10582006
If Valve made a Steam Deck Mini, I'd quit chinkhelds right now.

>>10582006
Cope.

>>10582016
It is the one weakness of larger devices. And to think it could be fixed.

>>10581443
Thanks man.
I added image and description, plus a readme on how to install, and uploaded to:

https:// we.tl /t-bz3TK5Npps
(remove spaces)

Link only last for a week tho.

I wonder if we can do Sea of Stars, it's not listed in the PortMaster supported game tho.

>>10582176
How well does it actually run on the r36s?

>>10581937
The one androidshit ds emulator supports dual screens AND still the best ds emulator at the moment. BOOM.
>>10581939
Gamepark is ded and odroid has no idea what the fuck they're doing.

>>10582186
Not constant 60fps, more like Russ-type of playable if you know what I meant.
The top back of the console is very hot after 10 mins tho.

>>10582176
This can play all of the best Harvest Moon games ever made and people want to play Starmeme Valley? Can you at least do multiplayer over LAN?

>>10582206
Hmm, the novelty of it is cool but I bought this thing to play old stuff, I'm worried about melting the screen's adhesive like some of these things suffer from. Thanks for the link regardless, I might still try it out.

>>10582092
Holy shit, it's not even that big..

>>10582176
>I wonder if we can do Sea of Stars
It doesn't have a Linux version for that.

https://portmaster.games/porting.html#what-are-ports

>>10582218
Is this foldable? Maybe if both screens were flexible? It's a stretch..

This isn't even atomic purple shitposting, what the absolute fuck is with that plastic quality? Literally every single shot they show makes it look worse and worse and they keep trying to pretend they're part of GKD when they're not.

>>10582240
At least it looks purple now

>>10582240
It looks more like they're trying to have some in-community playful banter by placing their shitheld ontop of the most popular sister company's most popular devices. Like a younger brother suddenly jumping on your stomach while you're laying on the couch doing your own thing but the little fucker weighs so little it felt more like a cat jumping off of you than anything.

>>10582245
Original promo shots just looked like a thick frosted plastic, like the different transparent N64s. But >>10582240 looks like actual Dollarama brand knockoff quality. Which is insane considering what an actual beast the hardware inside of it is. This is the opposite of lipstick on a pig, it's mud on a princess. Shit on a unicorn.

>>10582258
Fuck, forgot the pic and can't even blame captcha for it (this time).

>>10582262
I'm confused now looking at the + shape hole the d-pad is inside of, is it actually a d-pad or is it some sort of shitty flat arcade stick? It would explains why it doesn't recenter properly. It might actually be a disc on a stick on a disc again like with the Xbox 360's d-pad, except even worse.

>>10582273
Might be this thing.

So let me get this straight
That is the fucking d-pad
And that is the hole for the d-pad

WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHY WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

>mfw I was hyping the Unicorn as the one 1:1 device for me for months

>>10582279
It’s a secure mechanism most likely, is it hard plastic or soft. If it’s soft it’s a common practice to fasten things to other things. You’re just inexperienced and haven’t dealt with it.

Powkiddy... forgive us....

try harder chinks

>>10582218

>>10578816
So can we get consensus that these dimensions are "pocketable"?
>Width - 4.469" (113.5mm)
>Length - 6.299" (160mm)
>Thickness - 2" (50.8mm) roughly
This is shorter in length than a PSP btw.

>>10582293
How can you kill something that's already dead

I am actually upset by how bad this shit is

>>10582298
I think there's four tiers of pocketable/portable.

1: Very Pocketable. Think GBA, or an RG35XX. These are the kinda things that you can just throw in your pocket without even thinking about it, no hassle

2: Pocketable Enough. Original Gameboy, Switch Lite, Retroid 3/4. Most pockets will take it just fine, but it's not always a sure bet, and you have to make sure you won't need that pocket for anything else

3: Portable. Normal Switch, SteamDeck, Odin. You're probably keeping it in a backpack or a sidebag, but it's not a burden, and outside of pocketability it's still able to be played like any other handheld.

4: "Portable". Gaming laptops, consoles with screen attachments, the kinda things that you can take around with you, but need to set up a dedicated "space" to actually use comfortably


Personally I never go beyond 2

>>10582363
If this thing is a "tier 2" gaming laptop it could change everything. It's a little thick, but I can see it fitting in a coat pocket.

>>10582176
Very nice anon, you're welcome and thank you too, will definitely look nicer with a proper description and a screenshot to go with it too.

>>10582186
Well enough, but with occasional slowdowns. Very playable, but not silky smooth like the Android port. It'll have a hiccup every now and then, just the processor struggling with all the code, doesn't matter what's actually happening on the screen - you could have all your animals out grazing and a farm filled with a bunch of shit or step outside to an empty field and it'll still have this stutter every now and then. I'll save you the time, no - messing with any of the settings won't improve it, it is what it is. You'll get used to it eventually. If you find it too much to deal with it, I'd recommend Back to Nature.

>>10581712
Im not sure anon but I would recommend learning some soldering. Learning the basic bits of it for a DMG screen mod is pretty easy and can be fun.

>>10582293
We won't get a chink device with vita build quality ever.

>>10582423
>I would recommend learning some soldering
It's on my to-do list but I'm just a big fan of clean plug-and-play mods. They're fun and I like the peace of mind of knowing I can undo any changes I make.

>>10582293
Vita can't run N64.

>>10582363
3 is acceptable if you're going on a weekend vacation or something. Any other time it's worthless despite what Deck shills will tell you.

>>10582464
I had a deck for a while, was genuinely stunned at how well it performed for the price point, but realized the main thing I used it for was gaming in other rooms in the house. wound up reselling it for most of my money back (these were still a brand new thing at the time so resale was good) and getting an Odin Lite, my first proper introduction to the retro handheld scene.

I then listed it in eBay the same day because fuck me running the Odin shills never talked about how awful the input lag was. eventually just said "fuck it" and got a rg353v. not the best handheld ever made but for my needs it worked pretty great, and the form factor was nostalgic for me. But now it's hard to go back to non-pocketable systems, all the gaming power in the world means nothing for a handheld for me if I can't take it wherever. Currently rocking a 2S and pleased as hell with it

>>10582464
3 is good enough if you just want to play in bed, something very pick up and play, that you can have some fun with for a while before going to sleep, and just leave at your bedside table once you're done, also useful in trips like you've said. A lot of us don't really care or feel comfortable playing vídeo games outside, I can't really focus and get in the mood, because if I'm out on the streets then I'm usually busy with something else anyways, otherwise I'd be home, so I don't want to play at all.

It's been particularly useful for me now that I spend every other weekend at my GF's place, taking a console would be a more cumbersome thing, and sometimes I won't get much time to play, women do demand a lot of attention afterall, so it's good having something that I can easily pick up and also put down in an instant.

>>10582498
I tend to go for 2 because, while I don't play stuff like MGS in public areas, it's a great thing to have if you just wanna kill 15 minutes.

I've had several times where I was out doing something only to discover I had a 10-15 min wait ahead of me, so I just whipped out my vertislop and did a bit of Pokemon Emerald grinding, or some Tetris, or maybe a Katakari stage on PSP.

3 can be nice, but it's also nice to have something tiny you can tuck away as a side piece

>>10582515
Fair, usually when I have to wait for a bit I'll just browse 4chan and shitpost with you guys for a few minutes, though I can see the appeal of playing something, and for that something being pocketable is really crucial, it's just not my thing, so 3 is pretty much perfect, but if I enjoyed to play outside then I'd never go beyond 2.

>>10582363
Why do I need to keep reminding you people
They're ALL pocketable.

It's never been important whether something is pocketable or portable, but whether it's a handheld device.

Ordered the 4+, I think the Odin 2 has more power than I realistically need. I've had hit and miss experiences with Retroid in the past, so I'm hoping it's good.

>>10582273
>>10582278
>>10582279
What the actual fuck

>>10582582
I think it has more power than any android device realistically needs. Like, what would you use an Odin 2 for that you couldn't do with any other high power (and cheaper) android device? Maybe switch emulation, but if you're spending that kinda money on an android handheld I feel like you can afford to just get a moldable switch and play the whole library for free anyways

>>10582363
>and you have to make sure you won't need that pocket for anything else
I was able to fit my RP3+ and phone in the same pocket but it was a tight fit.

one of the photoshop anons should start doing modular designs

IT'S

We reached the endgame of chinkhelds bros

>>10582592
you technically can do that but I feel like comforts a factor. I also get personally little worried when I pack my pockets that full cause if I have to bend my legs for any reason it gets pretty taut, and I'd be worried about hurting the devices or my pants
