Currently playing my Famiclone. May switch to my PMP IV if it gets boring enough

Ok, so I ordered the chinkplay fpga GBC. Going to have fun with it. My original GBC (modded with an IPS) is with my kid now. And yes, I know about the shortcomings. I just want something to put all my carts into and just play without having to fiddle and fumble with a launcher like my rp3+. And fuck analogue for their prices, no matter how good the screen is.

>>10615864
I never knew about this anon, that's pretty cool especially for the price. Wish something like this existed for consoles as well

>>10615868
Be warned.
The clock speed is SLIGHTLY faster or lower depending on setting, never the exact same as an original GBC.
It shits itself with some flashcarts, but it’s a matter of luck, some work, some don’t.
Cable Link works, but sometimes gives graphical glitches (solved as soon as you disconnect the cable).
Charges slowly.
You might need to select the GB or GBC core depending on the game, or it might give you wonky colour palette options.
Some of these might get addressed in future firmware updates, but don’t get your hopes up.
That’s it, I think.

Based AI slop detectors and detractors. I don't trust any images these days.

Which way, white man?

>>10616138
It depends entirely on the game. Some were made with 4:3 screens in mind so 8:7 is the one that looks off.

>>10616138
all shaders and filters are fiddled with
on a per game basis
it's fun at least


4:3+crt preferred
but sometimes you can't have everything
especially on Mobile kek

>>10615864
once it's built be sure to post results
record a webm of links awakening transitioning screens on the overworld map

its not as bad as they made it seem last thread but for those who still need to blast $80 plus og gbc costs
stockX has pockets for about that price

>>10616138
Integer scaling and aspect preserved in all games

>>10616138
Both are fine, it's a quick adjustment and sometimes you didn't really have a choice. Like one of those crt longbois that are close to 16:9 but aren't. Then you just thought that's what the game looked like if you're young enough.

I mention this in the last thread, but I got this Ags-101 for $98 the other day. It's in the mail coming on Monday, but, minus the screen scratches, I think it looks good since the lens can be replaced.

>>10616220

>>10616459
What's stopping someone making a Steam deck into a custom clamshell format, like those yt portable PS2 guys?

>>10616298
You already know the answer to that question, you're just asking because you want to argue.

>>10616427
She just wants to show you what she's playing, anon

He'll look at it weird before tossing it on the floor and going back to playing roblox and scrolling through 5-second youtube videos on his mom's phone.

Elevator Action homebrew sequel by AI.

got a rg35xx+. gave my old rg35xx away as a gift over the holidays, but thats starting to feel like a mistake. this thing needs cfw so badly. muos is dogshit & none of the other stuff works at all. i wanted to use it for psx, but the stock emulator had like 2 seconds of audio delay and it lags to shit on muos.
also, super disappointed in what im seeing in rp4pro reviews. so close to my dream device, but i had a delta fan in my steam deck and theres no way im going back to absurd noise levels on an even smaller device. is the regular model silent?
>>10616138
8:7 on the analogue pocket is unbeatable. the best snes experience of any device ever. i dont think i can use any other device for snes ever again.
4:3 is just purely promoted because
people have nostalgia for the distortion. like 95% of snes games were clearly made for 8:7, and that aspect ratio is only going to look good on a square screen.
maybe that new rgb30 device would be nice but i already have my pocket and im not going to be tricked into buying a powkitty device.

Only just bought an RG35XX, loved playing with it but was getting dodgy inputs from the dpad, especially with games like castlevania. I know there's an electrical tape fix, but my bro in law loved the nostalgia so much he offered to buy it off me at cost. Got an RP2S ordered direct from goretroid, can't wait for it to arrive.

Xbox 360/PS3/Wii U compatible chinkhelds WHEN?
I refuse to buy one until it can run 3D Dot Game Heroes perfectly

>>10616776

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SgBugIfJxss
>>10617464
They usually feel cheaper than retroid's but above average.

>>10617448
>>10617451
>Anbernig still using Switch sticks
I'm not even giving this thing a thought. Also some sources say it has a D1200 while others say it has a Tiger T820, which is around D900 levels of performance. Which is it?

>>10617473
The butthole must be destroyed.

>>10616728

Keepretro or Retroid/Ayn's own website?

Where are the Youtube, Rumble, Vidlii, & Odysee tech reviewers of Chinkhelds and the like who go and buy Anbernic, Miyoo, Powkiddy, or Moorechip products own their own instead of allowing themselves to be given free online coupons or even literal cash from the manufacturer and a freebie handheld machine for them to review?

>>10617481
Calm down brother Zhou

>Steam Deck

hmm ok so i just finished reading the thread and it sounds like the deck didn't do very well huh? maybe next time it won't be as 'shitted' and 'flopped' as you are all saying

>>10617535
You won't find them because that would be expensive. However more often than not these reviewers don't receive the handhelds directly from the manufacturers, but from shops. However, because they get early previews you can assume they won't be too harsh on them not to get mad their overlords.

Yet you may find some individuals who own a couple of handhelds and posts their impressions. But for that there is not a single dedicated channel.

>>10617598
>would nintendo be okay with that?

I'm sorry trannies but even you would call this guy a fag

>>10617448
Why does it look so cheap? Reminds me of powkiddy's lowest end.

>>10616491

I just want a 4:3 OLED, also I pray sometime in the next 10 years AI sloppa romhacks are a thing so extremely niche romhack quests can be fulfilled for said 4:3 OLED

Technically, the SP was $87. It's just taxes and shipping that bumped it up to $98.

>AI Slop
Why does AI hold the controller always the wrong way? Also idk but it seems to me that some physical button thing for phones seems to be the far better solution.

Why is this thread the only one on /vr/ where people are more interested in showing off photos of what they own instead of talking about games? Why is there never any discussion of portable /vr/ games in these threads?
Someone said these threads were up 24/7 because they're ran as free advertisement for new emulation devices, and that seems to have been spot on. So bizarre.

>>10618008
Because this thread is about HARDWARE

>>10617626
What would be so utterly expensive about it, though? We aren't talking about buying yachts, real estate or raising money for a Parkinson's Cure. Yeah, some are more expensive than others, like the RGB20s, Miyoo Flip, and R33s compared to the Odin 2, Aya Neo Pro, and Anbernic RG505. If people can make their own take on QVC or HSN on Youtube, Twitch, Vidlii, Bitchute, and Kick, Why not reviewing of gaming handhelds every once or twice in a while via buyng said systems without getting sweet-talked by Moorechip, Datafrog, Analouge, nor Miyoo?

>>10615986
Once it figures out how to render handhelds and controllers from behind it's over.

>>10615840
Based AIkino

>>10616138
The 4:3 screenshot doesn't take into account the curvature of the screen, making them perfect circles on CRTs.

>>10616138
I make no choice because era-specific displays made little distinction between "proper aspect ratio" and the picture could be displayed across a wide gradient of styles and contortions, not to mention the ability of the user to make individual analog adjustments. Furthermore I find anyone that fixates on this dichotomy to typically be a rather useless, dull person, obsessed with some meaningless sense of "correctness" that betrays a certain trend towards authoritarianism, adherence to consensus, and the need to signal their personal virtue for the same. Such r-selected behavior earns little of my respect.

>>10618039
The based, redpilled, VERY handsome frogposter is correct. This is HANDHELD general, not "games that can be played in a variety of contexts including original hardware, modern console ports, PC emulation, and third-party bootleg handheld devices general".

>>10617979
>Why does AI hold the controller always the wrong way?
Because there are more pictures of game boys showing the front side than the backside.

>>10618187
>Based, redpilled
How do you even. measure what is based objectively? Redpilled, in what way and manner, exactly? Yeah, hardware is what is being talked about, no doubt. However, hardware is basically just half of what comprises electronics, including handhelds and home consoles. Software can be interchangeable in more ways than one. I mean COME ON, this is isn't 1973-77 with all those dedicated Pong, Telstar, and Odyssey consoles.
Also, so what if that frogposter is actually handsome IRL, handsomeness does not equal facts. Post face with timestamp, Frogposter.

>>10618109
Because anyone who does that wants views, and to get views you need to be one of the firsts to review them, which means getting access to dev units, which means being in good terms with either manufacturers or some shop. Otherwise you always come late to the party, and I assume a person willing to spend that much money on handhelds to review them wouldn’t like. Just about the vast majority of reviews you see on YouTube are directly sent by some shop. That’s what they advertise actually, acquiring the item at some online retailer.

hearing the dpad is ass on the anal log tho? comparing to the snes pad that's a tough pill to swallow

>>10618364
dpad is fine
if analogues dpad is "not good enough"
every single chinkheld is a laughingstock
im able to beat platformers, shmups, etc
never ever thought about it until today

>>10618384
in all seriousness some chinkhelds actually have GOOD dpads like the miyoo mini and the vita dpads on the retroid shits, idk if you're qualified to disregard all of them judging by that pic unless you have a stash of chinkhelds not included

>>10618357
So, if that's anbernic CEO, who would be the respective CEOs to Miyoo, Moorechip aka Ayn/Retroid, Pocket Boy, and Powkiddy?

I refuse to buy another handheld with switch sticks ever again. That just leaves Retroid/Ayn and PC handhelds with full size sticks as options now.

>>10618419
You could buy a TSP with ps vita sticks

>>10618501
Those are even worse

>>10618419
Switch sticks were a plague and I'm glad they're finally dying out and people are seeing the light. Who the fuck wants a convex analog stick that feels all bumpy whenever you move it around? Were they trying to give the feel of the sticks on the gamecube? Because it just makes it feel cheap and like something's wrong with it whenever you rotate it around.

>>10617598
Zoomers should legally have their internet access revoked. Nobody should be allowed online under the age of 30 or over the age of 60.

>>10618509
>they're finally dying out
>implying
Most chinkhelds will keep using them because they're stupidly cheap.

>>10618517
I think only people over the age of 60 should use the internet, they make funnier memes.

>>10617437
Nah it's to prove you're just a shitposter "ironically" shilling for something you don't even own just to shit up the general.
Go back to /v/

>>10616414
are you a fellow literate gamer or is your picture without meaning?

>>10618520
yeah the cheap ones will keep using switch sticks, but looking at the rp2s and rp4, there will at least be mid-price options with good analog sticks from now on

>>10618521
People over the age of 60 don't make memes they just post Farside comics and screenshots from I Love Lucy.

>>10618530
I have a feeling the 2S/RP4/Odin 2 sticks will stay on Ayn/Retroid devices much like how only Anbernig ever got a hold of 4 inch 4:3 screens.

>>10618550
Nice accusation, cuntface. How the fuck am I a grade A Switch analog stick lover? I know it has its flaws, but it is better in most cases than The Sony PS vita Analog sticks. Not as slippery.for one. Also, have fun closing your mind in a black&white "either A or B" severe retard mentality.

>>10618684
it's an analogue pocket, she's just appreciating the cartridge art

>>10618390
i have the miyoo
or HAD it, i gave it to a female friend
but it was def pretty good in regards to button\pad
the back buttons were shit but it didnt matter
as i wasn't playing ps1 shit or whatever
for mariokart advance it was still doable
but i think that even about the pocket

i have tried a ton of 3rd party controllers\devices
back in the day 8shitdo used to suck bad, REAL BAD
1.0 bluetooth and iffy stiff buttons

So if the Flip flops, then Miyoo is just done, right? I've never seen a chinkheld company gain so much popularity while having fuck-all to actually sell.

>>10618787
nothing a limited special edition V5 mini couldn't bail them out of

>>10618787
They're a small boutique. Businesses are capable of remaining small for life. You console war tards always act like one company selling more than the other means the other magically dies. As if you're either fortune 500 or nothing. Are there no family businesses where you live?

>>10618794
So basically, Miyoo is Analogue for poor people?

>>10618816
it has nothing do with analogue kek
cant play carts, has a garbage screen (in comparison), garbage sound, garbage shoulder buttons
garbage Ui and OS

for FUN it is an ok device if you can find one for CHEAP
(aka NOT paying a redditor scalper\resale prices on ebay)

>>10618816
analogue is analogue for poor people, it's a poor value product sold based off artificial scarcity and brand ala supreme
miyoo is just cheap chinkshit that happened to end up as redditor crack

>>10618787
its called manufactured consent
look into dead internet theory
its just shills\bots\and Ai posters +adverts
if enough of your devices & screens say the same thing
your consensus\worldview will be changed
most people are fucking mongoloids and are unable to think for themselves
hence, the reddit device echochamber

realistically, if you lurk these boards even for ONE or TWO archival cycles
you will see there are many better(even cheaper sometimes) options

but, people want that instant gratification
they need the updoots
sad

>>10618834

whats the point of this thread when the RP4p is the only device you actually need

>>10618837
translate from schizo to english please?

>>10618837
While I agree with the points your making, it's always rich hearing an anon accuse other sites of being an echo chamber when 4chan's the worst one of all. Only difference is the echoes are autistic screeches.

>>10618752
understandable; i'm glad you didn't take my comment to be aggressive, as i didn't mean for it to be

i generally trust anon's opinions over other sources, so i'll take your word on the anal log - becoming a semi-serious consideration after disregarding it for years as i'm admittedly team vertislop and while processing power on these recent ones is nice, i really don't care so long as it runs super metroid fine kek

t-they fixed it........

>>10618829
>>10618834
I mean in the sense that both are just collectorbait for people to take screenshots of Pokemon titlescreens with to post on Reddit, but never actually play. At least Analogue KIND of justifies its higher price tag (premium build quality, high-res screen, FPGA being more accurate and legal than software emulation because it requires a physical cart). Miyooshit is totally worthless; I don't get why ANYONE would spend more than $60 on one, when both the Plus and non-Plus versions get mogged by the RG35XX and the RG Nano, respectively.

>>10618919
>At least Analogue KIND of justifies its higher price tag
lmao
>RG Nano
oh, it's just you ambershill, of course

>>10618897
ive been playing all the tiddie romhax of super metroid on the pocket kek
>>10618894
i never said 4chinz wasn't an echochamber though
but during the oldfag era atleast we were almost free\mostly free to say what we pleased
>>10618904
i was still reselling quite a bit during that era
i would like to clarify for the young faggots lurking though
8shitdo is NOT THAT BAD now
esp for android 2.4ghz shit or BT
i have an "xbox" android snes pad and its great

retrobit is ok too
but the wireless saturn pad broke after a year a two
i literally just reordered it though +swapped parts into an oem pad kek
fuck it for that cheap what are you gonna do for usb saturn shit

>>10618919
the fpga thing is hard to breakup from
the ease of use +instant gratification is nice
however like mister, some cores aint fully cooked yet
missing features, missing screen filters (until literally THIS MONTH) etc
i didnt buy the dock until they released the filters
i didnt buy the pocket until openfpga dropped

its not recommended without those features
esp in 2024 in the great chinkheld wars

>>10618829
OnionOS is the best handheld UI/OS and is not even close.

its better than ALOT of what is out there
but if its worse than the miyoo its literally not even up for consideration frankly
those type of 3rd world devices might as well not even exist
(to me atleast, i will never be interested, even if it was like 15$ delivered)
i think many shitposters here share that sentiment
or there wouldn't be so many original hardware trolls every \hhg\

>>10615864
You know for $83 that's not bad. Be warned it's fpga implementation is far more janky than the Pocket and its compatibility with unofficial carts leaves much to be desired. Also the update process only works on Windows. If you're OK with all that I'd say it's a decent buy.

>>10618829
You're a fucking retard. Your analog can't play 10% of what the miyoo plays.
>>10618837
They were selling for $40 at one point. The current price when it's out of production is of no relevance you fucking idiot.
>>10618865
Active cooling is good, and i don't even have an RP4. The youtube videos you based your opinion on, have the game volume down. Not a real world scenario.
>>10618894
Nah, it's definitely plebbit.
>>10618959
Emulation station is still the king, you get preview videos.
>>10619187
It is bad, considering it's $83 to emulate Gameboy, when for less money you can get PS1 or more.

Miyoo sales rep here fellas.

You know, as happy as I am that pocketable, handheld, well-made emulation options are so abundant and affordable, I kinda miss the era of the DIY kits. Really wanted to do a MintyPi project when I was in high school, but seems like a waste of time and money in 2024 considering I can get significantly more power and build quality for cheaper.

Anyone here remember any old handheld projects that got your attention?

Was watching Smosh (yeah yeah I know) and got suddenly jumpscared by Miyoo and Anbernic

>>10619259
Ah yes, the "I want to be stopped by airport security" handheld.

>>10619340
>similar to non-pro
>anbernig ALWAYS charges out the ass
This is stupid, they're most likely going to charge 150+ and its shit.

>>10619231
Nah

>>10619346
Especially because of the OLED screen. I'm going to guess they're going to charge 200 for it.

Should I play (3)DS games on my steam deck or on my modded 3DS? Something tells me steam deck is better but it feels weird to play dual screen games on one screen

>>10618970
What the fuck are you talking about you schizo

>>10619662
Modded 3DS, no amount of power can compensate for playing those games on a single screen without a stylus, let alone the fact that 3DS emu's still not perfected yet.

I bought a rog ally as a bridge to my RP2S since my PC is shit and damn setting up emulators is a total pain. Emudeck barely works on windows because it was made for steamOS, launchbox wants me to pay a fucking subscription fee, and playnite feels like launchbox's retarded little brother.

Why doesn't windows have anything like Daijisho what in the goddamn.

>>10619669
playnite is NOT retarded

>>10619662
Steam Deck. No amount of screens can compensate for the low resolution of said screens, let alone the fact that you don't get a fast-forward option for the grindier sections of games

35xx H arrived. I expected relief from the cramped MM+ controls. It definitely isn't. It is quite the small device and everything is smushed in. This is definitely something for Asians and children.

But yeah, my hands cramp even faster when playing it. Tbh though I only have about 20 minutes with it so far. So this is a very preliminary negative review.

But yeah the thing is about 30 percent smaller than I imagined.

>>10619662
I play 3DS games on my odin 2 more than fine so you shouldn't have any problems at all, just use a proper layout and set one of the back buttons to swap screens, do remember that texture packs are a thing and many of them look quite good

Fellow handheld gaming niggas, I already have dsixl (amazing screen) for ds and gba library, but I was thinking of getting a used psp for ps1/psp library and maybe better snes/gba emulation. Should I get psp (preferably 3000) or ps vita? Is it worth it? I don't want it to be too big or stick out due to thumbsticks in vita, but maybe more games will be worth it
From what I understand if I hack vita it will be 100% backwards compatible with psp and ps1 games? And psp will be 100% compatible with psp game roms and ps1 games if I do CFW?

>>10620701
The biggest problem with PS1 games on PSP and Vita is no buttons for L2/R2. Might not be a big deal depending on what youre playing but it can make a number of games basically unplayable. Sure theres a toggle in the menu to switch between them but it's really shitty feeling and may not be a viable option depending on the game.

>>10620712
Back when I had a Vita, I owned the Japanese L2/R2 grip that fixed this issue entirely and they worked really well. Not sure how easy it is to get that grip nowadays though.

Which one of these is the most comfortable for playing PS1 games? Also are they powerful enough to run the games in 480p instead of 240p?

>>10620701
>dsixl (amazing screen)

>>10620725
Something horizontal and with stacked shoulder buttons, but not too small (see >>10620181). The cheapest stuff is limited to PCSX Rearmed which is on the low end of emulation but gets you by, plenty of power for 480p. If you're used to sticks on bottom I'd recommend Pocket 2S (cheapest one), which granted is overkill for PS1 but nets you the best d-pad and sticks for chinkhelds AFAIK. Some complain the brick format is not comfortable and require a grip, but works on my hands™. The case is cool if you need it, pretty good quality despite the tacky look, doesn't ship smelling like death like others.

>>10620712
>The biggest problem with PS1 games on PSP and Vita is no buttons for L2/R2.
Yeah that's a bummer, there are a few games that use those, wonder if someone could make cfw map those to the volume brightness buttons.
The grips are available from chink stores like ali but only for vita I guess

>>10620801
Oh, turns out on psp you can map the analog nub to be left for l2 and right for r2 and up for both at same time, or switch it with the dpad. And on vita it can use the touch pad for that

>>10619758
Yeah but like I said it's not that good since it's only in beta. It's a really jank install through power shell, the folder structure isn't customizable, and uninstall is a PITA.

>>10618837
Based chinkheld enjoyers dunking on pspkeks.
>>10619665
Telescopic bluetooth controller is fine for ds. Only problem is their bluetooth only and the buttons tend to suck on the rounded one's

>>10620776
As a 2S user, as far as comfort goes, I find that it feels good for D-pad centric games out of the box, but for anything stick-heavy I'd recommend getting the official grip. With the grip though it feels pretty good all around

>>10619231
How so, Nignog blame-stormer?

I didn't really see the appeal of the RG Nano until I started viewing as an all-in-one storage device similar to >>10620057. Pretty much you can store anything on it including game data and then just take it with you similar to a PocketStation, VMU, or Pokemon Mini. Would be great for storing Dreamcast or PS1 games and then playing 8-bit on the go

however like other anon mentioned

but maybe im being a boomer about it


the vita is very expensive now i cant recommend it in good faith unless you are a hardwarefag or want to actually play vita stuff as well

>>10620983
>what chinkhelbs can do vita full speed?
not really a fan of chink machines, prefer OEM, but I guess that is a solution if all else fails - I'd have to look into vita library to know if it's for me
>vita is very expensive now
on the used market where I live mint psp3k are pretty comparable with used vitas, so I guess the price is not that important me. I mainly want perfect compatibilty of ps1/psp games and maybe optional stuff such as other console emulation (gba, snes and other stuff, if it does them well)

>>10621024
I never said such a thing. Also, only 1 of those posts are mine, and none of my ancestors were Chinese.

>>10618816
actually Analogue is a Game Boy for poor people.

>>10621174
gameboy in general is for poor people.

So, I was about to buy a SF2000.
I never checked Youtube reviews, but this time I did.

It is a piece of shit. It can only run NES games. I can run some NeoGeo or CPS1 games kinda fine, but only 10% of SNES games will run, and these are not the good ones.
GBA simply is unplayable.
GB/GBC runs fine.

Too bad because I wanted something to play SNES, and the form factor is simply perfect.

Either they release some new firmware, but it seems like they don't really want amateur programmers to go around it,

So, for now, it is still my phone + phone support and BT joypad.

>akshually, the weight, not a real handheld
Shut up you cow, I just play from time to time when I'm on the road, luckily at home my setup and I'm not willing to spend that much money on a Steamdeck. Yet.

Anbernic RG405...the vertical one. im a broke fag with a full erection. i will get this device soon....

>>10621231
The sf2000 somehow makes the bittboy devices (V90 or pocketgo) look good. A shame. Its the ONLY snes controller shaped chinkheld with fuckbig face buttons, but it uses the shittest mips chip known to man.

>>10617473

>>10620294
is this a dynasty warriors reference?

so i checked retroid and powkiddy since ppl here saying its better than anbernic, but there is a major problem. I want rg405v, the vertical one. all they have is horizontal. i dont want horizontal. is there a vertical one better than anbernic rg405v. help me bc i dont know how much longer i can hold my load before i drown in precum.

>>10621341
>>10621354
no vertical?

>>10621354
If your heart says vertical. Get vertical. Simple ass. I dont think retroid will go back to vertical after the pocket 1, and powkiddy doesnt have a verical with 405v specs.

>>10621354
Vertical is shit, but 405v is the least shit out of the vertical stuff at least.

I thinking about buying the Pocket 2s and I was wondering if you connect it to your PC to use as a controller. I remember using my PSP way back as a controller on my PC and it was real comfy.

>>10621053
vita resolution is higher than psp
so some games might look off or whatever
but it mogs
esp devices from that era
im happy with my vita, the "jailbreak" is even easier now
sd2vita was like $6

like other anon said dont expect perfect emulation for other shit like snes/gba
its a serviceable bonus but not %100 compatible/speedy

for ps1 (again depending on your mapping preferences) it can be quite good
esp for all the vita eshop shit that got "converted" for vita specifically

>>10621002

No, he said he CURRENTLY uses a DS for GBA and he's going to use the PSP for "better" SNES/GBA emulation.
Nice reading comprehension faggot.

All the RP4 Pro's problems make me think we're gonna have a Plus model released midway through the year with a Snapdragon chip instead, bigger battery, and better fan.

>>10621942
I see the refresh happening, but not the chip change.

>>10621942
Needs a bigger screen anyway.

>>10621953
Only if they pull a Steam Deck Oled and use the bezel space for a slightly bigger screen. Making the device any bigger would kill half the appeal of the Retroid POCKET line.

>>10621942
Nah, people got too angry bc of the rp3+ situation for doing something similar.
What I can see them doing is releasing a diferent form factor, like the flip which everyone asumes will happen at some moment or a 4:3 or 1:1 version

>>10621942
are there any problems besides the screen tint and analog triggers, which were both fixed via firmware update?

>>10622034
yeah, display ghosting and noisy fan

>>10621990

>>10622034
Fan noise, poor battery life, mediatek chip being generally less compatible with emulators than snapdragon processors.

>>10622052
But How Does This Affect You Personally?

>>10622051
Flared grips are ergonomic and protect the screen. The angle of the six button cascade provide a pragmatic middle ground between arcade/claw grip and diamond formation being accessible near edge.

Are you for real? GBA emulation is perfect on the PSP, and my experience so is SNES, so a Vita should be able to run those without issue.
Check your emulator settings and disable shit like frame skipping.

>>10621231
There's a custom firmware that fixes some issues with the device, also you should be able to run most Genesis games just fine. SNES is down to what chip the game requires so Mario or DKC should be fine but you may have trouble with something like Yoshi's Island, but you can always just emulate the GBA version instead. Anyway, the appeal of these devices is being able to play more than just NES for cheap. They are basically one step above a Famiclone, which is not necessarily a bad thing imo

>>10622203
>starfox, starfox 2, doom, yoshis island (snes)

Do not listen to vitrannies, they are deranged lunatics who desperately want to justify owning that piece of shit and trick people into buying that crap. It literally has no games, and i mean none whatsoever, it has by far the worst handheld library ever, and no, visual novels are not games and you are legit mentally ill if you play games with little schoolgirls. And no matter how many cope plugins they use PSP games will never look good as on a PSP, it's not even better for emulation as snes and gba games are utter dogshit on it too. The only good thing about it is the second stick, but it's simply not worth it when the PSP allows you to completely remap the controls.

>>10622827
you still can't afford a Vita 12 years after they released?
It's the best way to play PSP and PS1 games on a portable

>And no matter how many cope plugins they use PSP games will never look good as on a PSP, it's not even better for emulation as snes and gba games are utter dogshit on it too.
Hmm, that's not a bad argument, the reason I got a dsi xl(and considered ds lite/ds phat/dsi too) instead of 3ds is that the 3ds library didn't really seem attractive to me and original ds and gba games which I wanted the most just look better on the OG family and feel washed out on 3ds. If it's the same with psp and vita then I'm inclined to get psp2k/3k
>it has by far the worst handheld library ever,
Still didn't look into that, I seen some nice indie games I liked on PC ported to vita, like spelunky HD, hotline miami and even terraria and minecraft - though these may be really subpar compared to the PC experience
>The only good thing about it is the second stick
It probably is much better than the nub, and maybe even good for ps1 games with DS support, but I'm a bit off put by the form factor and portability of vita because of it - it's bigger than og psp models and the analogs seem to stick out - maybe it's not a problem in reality but on photos I feel old psp is more aesthetic to me

How's GarlicOs on the RG35XX+?
I wanna buy one but reviews say the factory emulators are hit or miss and that updating retroarch can disable the gamepad.

>>10622632
nta but hygiene aside, the matte finish will wear off around the buttons/d-pad etc. with time, which is probably what you're seeing. It's just normal wear (and even more visible with the black version).

>>10623123
I think garlic is in alpha on everything except the original 35xx.

the analogue is made for people who are desperately trying to justify their growing cart collection while bringing some iota of modern convenience to the experience

>>10621002
your chinkhelds dont run those without frame skipping either. but guess what, they also dont run psp/ps1 without frameskipping either. so what the fuck your chink trash has that psp doesnt?

ay we gettin out the retro board with this one

While I'm waiting for my Miyoo to arrive I've decided to start looking for some handhelds with buttons that would be suitable for more advanced PSP/PS2/Switch, etc emulation. Are SBC's already at a point where they can run those types of games well or nah? I'm eyeing Retroid Pocket 3+ and considering whether I should get it now, or wait for something better to come out for emulating those platforms. Or should I just get a fucking Steam Deck and not even bother with these chink handhelds?

>>10623382
You bought a chinkheld and you are already planning to buy a new one before the first one arrives? Seek help.

>>10623368
>to hell with Playsloption 2 and Gaycube
Then all you need is the RP2S if you dont care about those.

>>10623382
Switch on ARM is nonsense, you'll need an UMPC.

>>10623396
I'm 100% sure this is something that I'm going to use regularly, as I've been emulating games (rather uncomfortably) on my PC for over 12 years at this point. I've also previously owned several handhelds, so I know they're not going to just lie around collecting dust.

>>starfox, starfox 2, doom, yoshis island (snes)
>>gba games that make heavy use of 3d like tonys cock pro skater
these pretty much true from personal experience. 3d gba games dont run well at all, and i mean unplayable no matter the frameskip. snes runs surprisingly well... except for mode 7 games. it's funny because back in the day people who wanted to play yoshi's island would just play gba demake instead, because that ran, but original snes didnt
still. you have to take into consideration that fucking hardware came out in 2004. name me ONE fucking chinkheld that came out in 2004 that could emulate snes or gba. i'd love to know that

>>10623410
Not enough to make Switch viable on Odin 2.

>>10623415
but it doesnt matter anyway. because 3d gba games are fucking trash. normal gba games run. the only caveat is that you need two emulators. gsps kai for performance and most of the games, and tempgba for weird cases where some games dont work for compatibility, such as golden sun

>>10623374

>>10623329
You don't even need to solder screens anymore, there are plug-and-play options now.

>>10623729
Vertical RK3566

>>10623729
Another fucking RK3566.

>>10623729
X18 with d900, ANOTHER fucking 3566 (Most likely), or they'll surprise everyone and use a snapdragon.

This is some of the strangest shilling I've seen.

>>10623750

Powkiddy probably be the only one stupd enough to think dual screen would be a good idea with their budget
>>10623774
Shilling what? Ipega doesnt make that controller anymore. I just wanted to attach an image.

Just get a MM+ retard.

>>10623814
He wants psp, but also wants hall sticks and anlong triggers for some reason

>>10623790
He's been working on RG353 lately. Also, bad news (for us).

>>10623819
Hall sticks should be the standard, no questions asked.

>>10623823
>Hall sticks should be the standard
Still baffling to me how the shit deck doesn't come with hall sticks.

>>10623830
What really sucks is gulikit made hall sticks for the Deck but got the gate wrong. Twice.

>>10623830
Doesn't the oled?

What other slop device should i add to my small collection?

SteamDookie
RG35XX
RP4 (still waiting for shipping)

>>10623875
You either want a clamshell or a slider.

>>10623463
Put both the stick and dpad up, in 45° and as close as possible, 4.5 inch screen and rp4 pro insides and you'll make all the money

>>10622083
>what does that image have to do with retro video games?
Big boobs is retro.

>>10621942
I'm gonna wait. Surely the chip will appear in cheaper anbernic devices in time.

>>10623875
Did you intentionally buy the inferior versions of all three systems or were you just too lazy to type "OLED" and "+"?

>>10624060
are you retarded anon? theres been a non OLED version for years.
There is no RP4+

>>10624075
He meant the rp4 pro. Did you really buy the base model? It's understandable you bought the others before the upgraded versions came out

>>10624158
no i bought the pro lol
i guess i should expect an autistic response like his for not being incredibly specific on the model. Oops

Why is the non-Pro RP4 unavailable right now anyway?

>>10623620
I'm really debating getting an ally (or a refurb deck) but I can't see a use case for it. Like I could just pay an extra $200 for a gayming laptop with a 3060 or some shit and play on a bluetooth controller.

>>10624207
>I can't see a use case for it
You can play it when commuting to work/traveling/flying a plane/at work, and so on and so forth. It's for situations where a laptop is just way too bulky. Really, if you already own a PC and you almost never leave your apartment, you don't need a fucking steam deck or any other high end handheld.

>>10624229
>if you already own a PC and you almost never leave your apartment,
Yeah that's me actually. I have a PC with a 4070, but playing on my bed would be nice, but not nice enough to pull the trigger on a $600 device. And I only go on vacation once a year but I'm more of a backpacker so I don't have much time for vidya there anyways. I'll sleep on it for a few more days, but I think being in this general and seeing all the deck shilling on /v/ is causing me fomo lol

Steam deck is what I'd get my kids to get them to shut the fuck up while driving them to school/soccer game. If I were straight.

>>10624207
>Like I could just pay an extra $200 for a gayming laptop
I'm always curious about how people who say this grip their laptops.

Also, why are you debating between a 299(?) refurb and however much more the Ally goes for?

>>10624245
>implying children can hold the steam deck without falling over

>>10624245
Wow you're a pretty nice dad to buy them such an expensive device. I'd get them Miyoo Minis and tell them to fuck off

>>10624243
I have an older laptop that I got for "playing while lying in bed" and I never use it lmao.

>>10624256
You can get a slightly used/basically brand new ally on ebay for $300-400. I've been eyeing these offers, but the console is just butt fucking ugly as shit and I can't justify dropping so much money on something my PC can do much better.

>>10624260
School children/teenagers probably can.

>>10624261
My parents got me everything I cried to them about. A genesis, a PC, a GBC, some off-brand chink MP4 that was made to look like a handheld that couldn't play any games lmao, then a PSP, then a PS3, then another PC, and yet another PC. I think treating my own children any other way wouldn't be fair.

>>10624273
Children shouldn't be spoiled too much either.

>>10624273
>some off-brand chink MP4 that was made to look like a handheld that couldn't play any games
Yeah, I just remembered that they were called "MP5", just like the gun. They were made to look like a PSP, but you could only play videos and music on them. And the packaging would have marketing bullshit on them with games displayed on the screen, even though you couldn't play any games like that on them. Absolute chink fuckery.

>>10624280
I think it's important to strike a perfect balance between spoiling and discipline. That way they will turn out alright. I'm honestly grateful to my parents for instilling more or less traditional values in me, even if I don't fully adhere to them.

Check this absolute bullshit out: https://youtu.be/bhcnf_ftPuY?si=coKG-efKQ1vKrRMw&t=191 "we have PSP at home".

Okay, fine by me. As if you even know the definition beyond your time on /v/, /int/ and /bant/
>>10623823
Jdewitz should move on to Session, Telegram, Mumble, Tox, or Ventrilo. Usually the servers or channels are at least marginally less infested with sub-80 IQ dummies, soitards and GID sufferers

>>10624350
>Its not weebshit bcuz... Leh /v/
I play that shit too but get real
>Session. mumble. Tox
Chinks dont use these.

>>10624295
>MP5

ive fallen out of the market since august
are there any better handhelds now than the rp3+ IN 4.7in screen size?

it seems the rp4 and everyone else jumped up to 5.5. if I wanted to carry around an xbox sized handheld I'd just buy a switch lite

>>10624361
Ok fine, speak for yourself. Get real? TCH!? I know that VNs and dating sims regardless of origin, are not real life, thank you.
>chinks don't Use these.
Not unless they have either a well-crafted VPN or proxy system, or are in Singapore (a city-state nation that, despite having a longer history of Peninsular Malay and Javanese residents, the Chinese population went up mainly through migration in the last 150-200 years) or Taiwan.

>>10624432
No. I meant they dont use them because it's harder to shill shit or act as glorified tech support.

>>10624387
The RP4/RP4 Pro have the same exact size screen as the 3+ my guy.

>haven't touched my Deck since I got my RG35XX two weeks ago

I hope those PSP revival rumors are true. Time for handhelds to make a comeback.
I'd still love to see Nintendo release a Game Boy Classic like the SNES and NES mini consoles they produced a few years ago. A first party reproduction of old handhelds like the GBA or DS would be great, especially with homebrew. Hopefully some day.

>>10624447
>PSP revival rumors
Actual handheld or android phone with buttons for streaming?

>>10624256
Open box Ally is around $550 for me. Gayming laptop, with discount can be like $750, lower with open box. The gayman laptop has either a 2xxx or 3xxx card while the Ally is equivalent to a 1650.

>>10623185
><<<citation needed>>>

>>10624186
to prioritize rollout of the more in-demand and more expensive option? it's not that deep
the base version is probably enough for plenty of people but gotta milk plebbitors for all the geekbench points they can

>>10624439
shhh don't help people that lazy

>>10623729
Is Snapdragon 888 about the same as D1200?

>>10624387
>t.Retroid

Your screen's too small. Buy an ad. ffs.

Tetris Rosy Retrospection is nice. It's the game boy tetris with modern controls. You can save pieces, hard drop, tspin.

>>10624714
Closest Snapdragon equivalent is the 865

>>10624763
Fuck off with your zoomer big screen autism already. 5 inch screens are the max you can have while being comfortably pocketable.

THAT'S the size of a sandwich when folded, a PSP is in fact longer. And I'm 35, peanut. Nice try.

>>10624909
Chink clamshells will never be good

>>10624890
You really have the autistic insecurity to "need" so called pocketability at an arbitrary 4.7", while having the audacity to want PS2 gen power? What self respecting man who plays 5/6 gen and above would not go for the biggest screen they feel comfortable with? It dishonors the intended experience of said systems. This isn't Tetris on your phone son.

>>10624914
And what if your precious Sony or Valve made it?

>>10624923
This reminds me of the absolute retardation Russ said in his review.
>text is too small to read on this device in Gamecube/PS2 games because that's when screens started getting bigger
Fucking joke. Absolutely nobody complained about text being hard to read on PS2 games. That only became a widespread complaint in the next gen when games started going HD and also coincided with HD TVs becoming common in households. You faggots are just spoiled, PS2 and Gamecube is fine on a 4.7 inch screen.

I am starting a collection of retro game carts while emulating the games I own on my steam deck. how big of a difference would the OLED make retro games look compared to first gen steam deck? is it worth upgrading for the better color and longer battery? I may sell my first gen to a friend. deciding what to treat myself to when taxes come back.

open to other possibilities of handhelds for up to psp graphics

>>10624928
You honestly sound like you work for Retroid and have been sent to do damage control. Yes, some people are fine with 4.7, but a lot have gripes about it. You think it's "spoiled" to get exactly what you pay for instead of compromise. Others may feel differently, I would personally go elsewhere with my money.

>>10624943
Nah, I just hate faggots trying to kill off pocketable devices with their screen autism. Go buy your Odin or RG556 if you want a big screen and stop complaining about a device that isn't for you. Same with all the Xbox layout retards.

>>10624914
X18s v3. Gpd xd+
>>10624925
Japs stopped making clamshells after the new 2ds. Burgers stopped after the shield portable

This is driving me nuts. I have a retroid pocket 2s. I want to set it up to auto save when I close the game. I'm running into 2 issues.
Even though I set the save setting to auto save on close and auto load, it's still not doing it. I read that it only works when you close a game from the menu in retroarch but that didn't work either.
Using the retroid launcher, if I'm in a game I can't open the retroarch menu. Only way I can find it is if I have the OSD on. Can't I map a button to bring up the retroarch menu from within a game?

>>10625056
I figured out how to map a button to bring up the menu. Still working on the autosave feature.

>>10624906
Who are you quoting?

>>10624075
I am in fact retarded and didn't consider that these were bought over time and not recently.

>>10615840
>people buy handhelds just to look at shit like this

>>10625056
>>10625065
I figured it out. Retro achievements was blocking the save state functionality. Fuck you retro achievements, I don't even care about cheevos.

>>10624439
I literally read somewhere it was 5.5
Fuck
Well that's nice I guess, but I was kind of hoping to hear about 1-2 different competitors in the vita sized market

>>10624559
Oi fuck off cunt
Its hard enough being retarded

>>10623729
RGB30S with a touchscreen for perfect DS functionality, and maybe some transparent shell options

I really wish Powkiddy would IMPROVE on their current hits (RGB30 and the V90) instead of coming up with new shit completely unrelated to it that ends up flopping like the X18S and the 10 Max 3 Pro.

>>10625109
>Its hard enough being retarded
kek sorry anon, just pokin fun :^)

>>10624450
Sony is filled with retards now, so I'll guess it will be chink android with a graphics somehow worse than the switch's. There will be a push for games as a service and proprietary memory cards again since sony really hates piracy more, but will pass the hate to customers as well. Also switch joysticks because fuck you. All priced at $400 for 32gb of storage.

>>10615840
>costs considerably more than the MM+ and RG35XX+
>worse performance
>scratch-prone finish
>integer scaling is microscopic
What the FUCK is the point of the GKD Pixel? Who does it appeal to? Who would spend all that money instead of buying a Miyoo or RG35XX? Is there a cult of weirdos that absolutely NEED to have metal vertislop or something?
