/vr/ - Retro Games

In terms of GBA and NDS flashcards, what would you guys recommend?

>>10684595
>NDS flashcarts
Anything you can get your hands on will work fine.
>GBA flashcarts
EZ Flash Omega Definitive Edition. Maybe an Everdrive. Any other option is making too many compromises.

>>10684561
>>How do I get games
>Google: cdromance
heh

>>10684603
its still operable just with extra steps to start the download

hi, are we still fighting?

>the steam deck is the best option for emulating gba
Woah.

>>10684603

I have pic related and I'm emulating Bully on PS2. Which Sony controller should I get to hook up to it? It's connected to my tv with an hdmi and usb dock.

good OP post, thanks for putting in the effort

>>10684698
delet this please

>>10684735
>good post
>all the recommended devices come with SD cards that must be thrown away before use
what did he mean by this?

>>10684778
>throwing away SD cards & dead SD cards
Wait....you don't make murals out of them like the rest of us?

>>10684778
Someone said they were shitty and now everyone does this so now noone can confirm if theyre actually shitty. Honestly theyre probably fine. If youre worried just see if you can store your saves elsewhere.

>>10684775
>>10684708

>>10684694
YES

Been playing the GBA carts I bought and despite its hilariously bad framerate, "Monster Trucks" by Majesco simulates full 3D in crazy ways. The amount of sprites the monster trucks use to be at every angle and shit.

>>10684595
The only DS ones in production are clones of clones of clones and they work totally fine, you're looking at $10-20 from China. $20-30 from Amazon. Don't try and get something cheaper, as those $4 ones are clones of ye olden R4 and only work on actual DSs, they're firmware blocked on later machines. Of course if you have a hacked 3DS you can get around it, but the modern cards are easy and support (much) more reasonable SD card sizes.

>>10684561
God, I wish the software on the Smart Pro was better. The ergonomics are great, and I love the tactile click of all the buttons. I don’t even care that it can’t do full PSP, since I bought it for comfy GBA and PS1 with widescreen hacks. But the stock OS is trash; the options are pitiful compared to something like OnionOS or ArkOS, and all the systems are preconfigured with individual overrides that you have to manually delete and reconfigure one-by-one. The screen would be great for watching anime on, but there’s no dedicated video player, and I can’t even use Retroarch, since you can’t load Retroarch on its own; you can ONLY access it while in a game. And no one owns this thing, so there’s zero documentation on how to do stuff like boxart, or what to do if I turn it on and it stops reading every system that isn’t GBA. I’d normally return it, but I love the hardware side of this thing too much, so I’m just gonna leave it in the box until TomatoOS is smoothed out.

>>10684784
Nah, they’re shit. I was getting crashes constantly on my RGB30 until I swapped the Kioxia card the OS was on for a Sandisk, and then my device never crashed again.

what the fuck went so wrong with linux that caused all emulators n64 onwards to require android for reasonable results

>>10684884
Nice.

It's here and it rocks. Suck the dicks poorfags

>>10684959
That's pretty cool bro, I'm sure ps2 games look amazing on that screen, can you post some of that? :)

>>10684948
Nothing, rockchips are just cheap garbage.

What are the handhelds you own/owned?
For me, it's
>official
GBC
PSP
>chinkshit
Dingoo A320
Retrogame RS-97 (Anbernic)
Anbernic RG350
Anbernic RG351MP
Retroid Pocket 3+

Waiting for a FPGBC. The handhelds that gave me the most out of them were the GBC, when I was younger, the PSP, especially when I found how to hack it and filled it with emulators, and the RS-97, which was my Gameboy and Sega handheld for a good while.

>>10684926
>since you can’t load Retroarch on its own
You can since the last firmware upgrade.

>>10684561
>>10684778
>- Handhelds come with low quality SD cards. Throw them away and buy new ones.
Is there any reason to replace the OS card if I put my roms and save on the 2nd card slot?
Aside from the inconvenience of needing to reinstall the OS of course, I guess I'd just be losing some retroarch settings like controller remapping? I'm new to the emulation handheld thing so I'm not sure if those setting build up over time to the point that it would be a real pain in the ass to lose them.

>>10684959
I got a white one too - but to be honest, I think a little less of you for paying 30 bucks for that cheap ass plastic case. That has to be a 3000% profit margin for them.

sooo how bad is rg arc?

>>10685154
It's great other than the shitty chip.

So what would be best resolution for retro handheld? Let's say up to PS1, no more no less..
I guess 640x480? But then GBA games would be smoll (2x integer scale only)

>>10685105
Yeah, but why would you? Small SD cards are dirt cheap.

>>10685154
Can't run DC fighters at full speed.

>prepping microSD for incoming RG35XX+
>have to fuck with the partitions after flashing the image just to be able to allocate all memory because Anbernic ordered them in a stupid way
I don't know if I'm retarded or Anbernic is.

>>10685220
Do you really? For ArkOS and JELOS, the image just expands and partitions itself correctly during first boot.

>>10684959
you are not what you own
even if you are correct you are a little bully
uncouth

>>10685230
There was originally about 104GB unallocated to the far right; I had to juggle partitions over in order to get it where it currently.

>>10685174
Maybe my eyes are too plebian, but GBA games look fine on a 3.5 inch 640x480 without integer scaling imo.
If you insist on integer scaling though, it only becomes slightly smaller than the screen of a GBA SP.

>>10685236
>you are not what you own
>posts the same pile of shit every thread

>>10684694
Not really

>>10685242
Amateur hour, Brother Zhou.

>>10685248

>DC
anon are you casting dreams on a thing with six face buttons

>>10685174
720x720

>>10685236
How much did you pay for those Loveplus 3DSes?

>>10685267
I'm true love making things with six face buttons.

All the time.

R4 card here. How come some of the squares on my grid view are colored while others aren’t? What do the colored squares mean?

>>10685267
On mine I have been driving megas with 3 buttons, gearing games with 2 buttons, geoing neos with 4 buttons, and general arcading. also playing through Xenogears on it atm. I would kill to be able to play a bunch of DC on a stronger successor handheld with these controls. Not so much the stuff that actually made use of analog, but the Naomi games like the fighters, shmups, etc.

>>10685302
not retro

>>10685302
that's one of those shells that try to make the original DS look like the DS lite, right? is it any good?

>>10685265
>sharp-shimmerless-shader
Does that work with third rate chode normie emulator slop?
>image
Do I have to renounce the power of Immunity Dog, or does it Just Work?

>>10685220
Its possible you are because garlic on the original 35XX just expanded the partitions itself. Not sure what youre using though.

>>10685320
The bigger size actually makes it feel a bit more ergonomic than the normal model. It’s like an XL DS without the screen upgrade. My biggest issue is that the plastic is bit slippery, so I have to be a little more careful when opening it or else I feel like I’m gonna drop it

I mostly just use the Steam Deck these days, although I like the 351V for GB/GBC stuff and some NES.
I want to reshell my GBA and put in an ITA screen since the shell got messed up at some point when it was in my parents basement, but I'm not sure how much I'd really use it at this point.

Nah im sick of this borderline avatarfagging.

>>10684561
I posted the PSP Go the other day. I got the component cables and a Dualshock 3 controller and tried getting it all set up.
Turns out it's really finnicky trying to get direct capture going. The PSP has an oddball resolution, and my capture card really doesn't like that. Whenever I try to set it up in OBS it struggles to find the input, and then my whole PC goes through a BSOD. I didn't understand why this wasn't working for me when it looks like everybody else can manage it just fine. Then I found out that having an analog-capable capture card is rare among youtubers, they were all feeding the PSP through a Retrotink or OSSC to convert it to a normal HDMI signal that their elgatos can handle.
I don't have anything like that, so I had to use an ancient piece of software that nobody ever uses anymore in order to get the PSP captured: AmaRec. It actually works too because with AmaRec it can handle the resolution and signal feed in a way that OBS simply doesn't. Kind of works anyways, you can see here that it doesn't look right on AmaRec's feed so I still need to go into OBS and do a window capture to fix it, though it's fine because I was going to have to crop it in due to the way PSP games get letterboxed into the center anyways. It's ridiculous and a whole bunch of shit to get through in order to just capture a fucking PSP for youtube videos. But this works, and I can even use the preview window to play the games directly.

The worst part though? AmaRec can't handle the resolution switch when playing PS1 eboots, so I can't even use the PSP to capture PS1 games. If anyone has experience with this horseshit, please let me know.

>>10685456
>Turns out it's really finnicky trying to get direct capture going. The PSP has an oddball resolution, and my capture card really doesn't like that.
Oh right, I mentioned the capture cable/dock the other day but I forgot to mention the resolution thing to you, completely slipped my mind
>Then I found out that having an analog-capable capture card is rare among youtubers, they were all feeding the PSP through a Retrotink or OSSC to convert it to a normal HDMI signal that their elgatos can handle.
Yeah, those types of modern weirdos can fuck off with their overpriced hardware!
It outputs in a fairly standard resolution, I think it was 576i/p or 480i/480p or a 3:2 ratio then from there you just have to crop and resize back down. I used to do it with my ancient capture card and breakout component cables. Although I guess older cards wouldn't suffer half as many of the issues with detection as new ones do. If you're not seeing the entirety of the PSP UI then that's a red flag.
Sony had garbage fire software for the PS3 & PSP so it'd be worth checking while it's plugged in if you can change the resolution.

Fun fact: The PS3 would pull this shit too when booting content and run in resolutions it wasn't supposed to rather than scaling them internally.

>What are the handhelds you own/owned?

I have a 3DS, PS Vita and Switch. Used to have a GBC, GBA, PSP and DS. I use mainly the Vita for PS1 and Retroarch. Playing Blood Omen at the moment

>>10684985
>What are the handhelds you own/owned?
>official
Some old LCD game where you control a monkey that I've never been able to track down what it was
Original Gameboy red colour
sold to finance gameboy colour transpare t purple
gameboy advance SP silver
nintendo DS lite light blue

that's it, those are the only 5 handhelds I've ever owned. And now I'm debating whether to save 20 bucks by buying the RG35XX instead of the plus.

>>chinkshit

rg35xx h cfw status? I want to buy it when it has something like garlic

>>10685995
I heard it got koriki but I dont know for sure.

>>10685939
>And now I'm debating whether to save 20 bucks by buying the RG35XX instead of the plus.
I'd go with the non-plus, personally. 3D games kinda suck without analog sticks

>>10685998

>>10685456

I tried watching a video of his before but couldn't finish it. There's no way that's his real voice

kind of nice how i used to salivate over the PSP being able to emulate gba and used it to flex on my tech illiterate cousin who "bricked" his because of moonshell.

and now we have shit that can emulate ps2, xbox and switch that can fit in a decently sized purse.

feel bad that im old and will probably miss even more awesome ahit, but it was great seeing the technology evolve to how it is now.

when is it flip time?

>>10686106

but I think you're right

>>10686152
According to those developing light based photonic processors, Moore's law is no longer applicable. They say in around 5 years they will be hundreds of times more powerful than todays chips and run cool.

>>10686106
>>10686152
Imagine the possibilities!
If you want to keep your expectations fairly tempered then look at it one way, tech will still be a revolving door of banality rigidly conforming to standards. In 5 years time we'll have the same old EoL parts rotating sold dirty cheap out at the bottom end stifling innovation even within the upper end of the market.
I for one cannot wait for the wide format OLED boom in 5 years time with a device ready to truly emulate NDS in a side by side profile using the same cheap ALPS joysticks haha

>>10686202
Maybe I got too ahead of myself, if that'll be how things are in 5 years, then the rundown parts at the bottom end will be using first gen tech just in time for 2037, cool B^)

So many reviewers act like it's a given that you'll be playing Pokemon and it upsets me knowing that so many people are wasting their handhelds like that.
They could be playing good games like the first 7 Fire Emblem games.

>RGB30 for 75$ and free shipping now

Should I pull the trigger?

Retarded question but for anyone who mods GB screens can you tell me if these things have adhesive to stick them to the front shell of the system or can they just be slipped in and out?

>>10684698
Stop posting this you fucking retard you're going to get the new site fucked over too.

>>10686313
what fire emblem games should i play. i admit my first was awakening and i played everything after that. but now i want to play some of the classics. where to begin?

>>10686510
GBA Fire emblems will give you the most vanilla and polished experience, eventually move to snes which does some things differently. FE 4 feels truly epic.

>>10686214
>Youtuber and online journal

>>10686516

>>10686521
>I'll go by release date
Nta, but be aware, FE7 comes chronologically before FE6; it's a prequel.

that's actually good question.
can anyone with miyoo v4 and plus see that?

Hey guys I need help. I want to replace my 405M because of the d-pad placement and quality.
I mostly play GBA pokemon games/rpgs.
How is the retroid pocket 3/4 for GBA games? I know the image will be stretched but how is the D-pad?

>>10686721
>but how is the D-pad?
D-pad is pretty good on those but if you are only going to play GBA go for a RP3+, should be easy to get one super cheap

>>10685479
>gaming device
It's a fucking shelf ornament, you uncultured swine.

I spent a pretty penny on a *New* 3DS XL on ebay and it looks to have BOTH IPS screens.
What is the best cfw for 3ds?

>>10686721
I think the 2s is plenty for gba. The dpad is vita-like if you've ever felt that. It's comfy on the thumbs.

>>10686780
There's only one which is alive, and that's Luma.

>>10686214
Wait they finally decided to work on the photonic computer again? Based. Fuck the quantum computer for delaying the goodness.

>>10686784
I was considering the 2s.It looks nearly perfect but, I was hoping for something slightly larger than the 405m instead of smaller though.

I bought one of those chink emulator thingies for like 10$
It runs all the consoles surprisingly well except SNES. However, when i play it my skill goes to shitter, is it the gamepad design or what but on regular controller I can pass certain levels easily but on this little thing there is no chance.
Now I use it for JRPGS to play while watching something as proper dopamine fiend that I am.

Also the most hilarious thing is that for 10$ it has exact same analog thumb sticks as Switch.

>>10686721
I second the 2S. If GBA is the max you're gonna do, that's just fine.

>>10686852
SF2000?

Also, any advances on the froggy bespoke cfw?

>>10686721
I'm an RP2S evangelist but it sounds like a waste for GBA, plus you might be annoyed by the screen's size. Maybe TrimUI Smart Pro, if the d-pad is any good.

>Fucked d-pads with false diagonals as far as the eye can see, and in the wrong position too.

That's THREE handhelds are more arent coming any time soon. Two of them are technically horizontal too.
Also, I will say, starting with the rk2023, almost every horizontal powkiddy device has been more than comfortable. The problem is they somehow tend to fuck up everywhere else.

I don't know if mods are discussed here, but I'm thinking of replacing the screen on one of my Gameboy Colors. What are the best screen replacements for the system, and are there any comparisons? I can solder, but I don't want to cut the shell because I want to keep the option of putting the original screen back in.

>>10686808
See OP's pic.

I wonder how many people that onions over playing Pokemon on their devices actually finish the games. You only ever see them in the beginning areas of Johto.

The right stick on my RGB30 doesnt work on the up-down direction, any idea why?
Can it be a software problem, a problem with the conection or shall I simply order a new one?

>>10687419
Is this something you just thought of, or have you done even the slightest bit of research before asking someone else to solve your problem for you?
I ask because every question you've posed has been answered many times in countless Reddit threads.

>>10687537
>>>Reddit

>>10687419
Maybe consider getting a new shell so you don't have to cut up your old one. They're pretty cheap compared to the rest of the mod. Then you can just move the guts of the device back to your old shell if you wanna go back.

Going to jump in and give a PSA on buying an amazon tablet:
While they are using a 64 bit version of android on their new ones now (I haven't checked), a lot of them are still 32 bit, have locked bootloaders, no root access etc on top of an ever more locked down OS where even things like workarounds are updated out.
If you can get one very, very, very cheap w/ a 64 bit OS and don't need to connect it to the internet then you can play the waiting game on it ever getting root access, bootloader unlocked or fire tool devs getting it to a workable state. How long is that waiting game? Currently even the 2019

You don't ever really win giving Bezos any money, ever, even if some mystery person on the internet tells you that you're sticking it to the man by buying one.

>>10687734
even the 2019/2020 models don't have exploits yet*

>>10687670
Yeah, sure, let me put my 11inch tablet in a clunky gamepad so I can play gba with pixels the size of peads during my 20 min train ride

>>10687785
Get the apple vision pro. Emulate gba games while walking down the street. I actually saw someone wearing it on the street yesterday.

>>10687835

>>10687957
Define ton of money and try this stuff. I can name you something you'll actually use, but then you'll go 'it's too expensive' and/or say 'I only want to play Pokemon Crystal's title screen'.

>>10688058

>>10687682
That's a good idea, except for the fact that controllers are complete crap and the good ones are pricey, so eventually buying chinkhelds for peanuts is a sensible choice.

>>10687741
>>10687734
thanks for clarifying
yes you need to be careful and research
but im happy with mine and use it often
but it is a bit of a lottery you need to make sure you get a non-toaster one

I had a 2019 7" Fire tablet and I was very confused when I determined it was only 32 bit and I couldn't even sideload SEGA NET MAHJONG. I returned it. I wonder if the latest USB-C 7" is 64 bit yet.

>>10688187
Yeah, they've been running on 64 bit HARDware for years but they were only developing 32 bit for the longest time, apparently the new ones are all 64 but there's still way too much spook scripting for my likes,
Their weirdo walled garden and ever-enshittening ecosystem is really bizarre. I'm sorry Mr. Bezos, I know you want me to use your clock & timer application but it's shit. Their weird war against sideloading is too much when you put it in the context of small applications like a functioning alarm clock or calendar. You can see why their line of phones completely and utterly failed but there's less competition in the tablet market.

>I couldn't even sideload SEGA NET MAHJONG.
I'm not a huge phone gamer, I've played fantasian and NieR (64 bit) but I think the PS2 emulator is 64 bit only on android iirc and idk about some of the others. If anyone was thinking about getting one I'd definitely recommend researching it first and returning if it doesn't do what you want.

>>10688297

>>10688779
Ooh, can you link me to that one?

> mfw just found out about the handlheld explosion over the last 5 or so years

I have 2 basic questions:
1) Do the Linux handhelds allow connecting up a keyboard somehow and use as a microdesktop or terminal in a pinch?
2) How easy is it to synch an existing retroarch setup with a handheld based on

To be honest I hardly get the time to set up my normal desktop games anymore. Maybe this is too much power for me.
But then again the way tech might get locked down in a few year perhaps I should splash out now.

>>10686721

>>10686808
RG Arc maybe?

>>10688597
But I've seen people post GB mods before.

>>10688887

>1
It should be possible and you might be able to do that with some modifying. But not alot of handhelds (if any) will have that by default

>2
retroarch isn't that hard to transport configs/builds

>>10688951
Does ArkOS (that I just read about) have any support for basic linux terminal use or, I don't know, basic web browsing. I may be pushing my luck with what I think these devices can do.

>>10688909
when will it end

>>10688991
T610 and T618 need to be given more attention for sure.

>>10689048
They need it to be more versatile for other systems at that price point. I'd move the track ball to the right side, it might be at least a rudimentary right analog replacement.

This for sure.

>>10689090

the screen is gonna be a piece of crap

it just feels fucked up otherwise

>>10689159
>>10689090

>>10688985
No web browser or desktop, but it does have terminal, ssh, Kodi and can be converted into "dev mode" to compile things, namely Sonic Mania's decomp. ArkOS is Ubuntu, JELOS is immutable Arch IIRC.

>>10686730
It's a symbol of cuckoldry.

Is the 353M the latest Linux compatible Ambernic? What's the upgrade if any?

And would this really be a good device to try getting into handheld retros with or should I go for a $40 option?

>>10689925
RG35XX H is the latest linux compatible handheld that anbernic released.

>>10689925
Anbernic is great and I doubt you can find a better 640x480 device, but make sure you get it for a reasonable price. The $40 handhelds like the R36S are very noticeably worse but serviceable as something you can take anywhere and not care.

Has anyone tried Ape Escape on the R36S? The analog sticks basically don't respond and I can only sometimes trigger a movement or item. Wonder if it's a AmberELEC CFW issue or if the sticks are just that terrible.

Someone was asking for handhelds that can play PS1 for 10+ hours a while back, so here's another one.

odin sisters...

Is anyone going to review the regular retroid pocket 4?

>>10690138
>I doubt you can find a better 640x480 device
RP2S mogs it, comes in metal too if you're autistic about that, though overpriced if you ask me.

>>10690234
Isn't it essentially just the Odin Lite but with different Android and better sticks?

>>10690316
Id still like a review to see battery life and if the performance of the chipset has changed with up to date emulators.

>>10690316
>metal 2S
I'm pretty sure it's still not much more than the 353m, as utterly insane as that is. I also far prefer the ARC to the 353 line as well even if it's the same crappy chip.
>Isn't it essentially just the Odin Lite but with different Android and better sticks?
Not him but I'm most interested in seeing how the battery life comes out with a less power-hungry screen but also a smaller battery. Kinda expect it to even out to Odin Lite levels, which was phenomenal, but it'd be nice to have it confirmed.

Well, that and I'd like to see PS2 tests done with a post-1.4 version AetherSX2. All the Lite reviews came out before that massive jump in PS2 performance.

>>10690316
Who started the metal meme for chinkhelds anyway? I assume gpd?

>>10690316
>RP2S
OP specifically mentions Linux compatible devices

>>10689976
I kind of prefer the horizontal form factor. I guess the 35XXH is what I'm looking for?

But if I stick with the 342M How much am I losing with Cortex-A55s vs a Cortex-A9?

>>10690427
Wait, why is the RG35XX cheaper than the RG353M? By almost 50%

https://anbernic.com/products/rg353m

Do you guys use CRT shaders for SNES, NES, Genesis, etc?
Does it significantly effect batter life?
Which ones do you use? I use royale on desktop, but unsurprisingly it doesn't run on my RG35XX+

>>10690538
nah just naked pixels at PAR aspect ratio.

>>10690549
Do you just prefer that look in general? Or maybe you don't like how CRT shaders look on low resolution screens?

>>10690562
I just prefer the look yeah.

>>10689923

>>10686410

>>10685174
>best resolution for retro handheld
In a descending order:

- exactly the same as a target device
- target device * 2^n
- as high as possible

The only realistic one would be the third, because first two are too limiting

>>10690465
>same real world performance
lol

>>10690538
Using CRT shaders on a portable device is retarded. Nobody grew up with a 4-inch TV in their pocket.

>>10690903
That's a fair point. My first console was a N64, so my experience of NES and SNES graphics were represented by the Gameboy and Gameboy advance.
I was using a CRT for home consoles, but when I used my handhelds of that era, it never bothered me that the handhelds weren't CRTs.
I really prefer how old games look with high end shaders on desktop though.

I shamelessly preordered the rg-556

Why is this such an annoying fucking system to emulate? Every other system works with no issue on my device but this fucking thing has given me by far the most trouble.

>>10691502
work on my machine.

Are there recommendations for running these on android?
Saturn
Sega CD
PC Engine(turbografx16)

I got retroarch and daijisho installed but whenever I try starting a game for these platforms, it just hangs on a black screen. The setup for these systems aren't that in depth on the retrogamecorps guide which is what I used so I might just be missing an important setting.

>>10691637
make sure you have Saturn bios. I know yaba says it doesn't need it, and to run most games it doesn't, but several games will still boot to a black screen without it.

>>10690385
Oh, my bad. Still, RK3566 devices are so flawed on average I'd suggest Android still.

>>10691502
Huh? Anything runs Neo-Geo.

>>10691637
Reddit uncle strikes again, refer to Retroarch documentation on the cores or even RA's own information menu while you're running a game or loaded the core, it'll tell you which bios files are missing. Just download a RA bios pack and dump it all in there.

Finally bit the bullet and decided to just get a Steam Deck Oled. As somebody who was not sold on the OG Steam Deck at all (had a lot of issues that required several RMAs), I gotta say, the OLED model is very nice and, though I may have gotten lucky, mine doesn't have any issues.

About my only gripe is that the audio drivers still have the crackling issues when waking it up from sleep and on certain emulators, but other than that, playing every ps2 and gc game at 720p with no issues is very, very nice.

Just the Ambernig RG351P

Currently I mostly use my RG351P and Switch. I held off on going crazy buying chinkhelds since the RG351P did the job for me, though I am gonna upgrade soon. Gonna get RP4 Pro and a Miyoo Mini Plus and call it on wasting money on chinkhelds for another 4-5 years or so. Might buy the Steam Deck successor when it comes out as well.

>>10693164
It was a big buy (especially with Indiana state tax pushing it closer to 600), but considering how clean the animation is and how easy emudeck is to setup, it was worth it. Where as the LCD models I recieved had weird issues with the input (something about the way the buttons were had a LOT of deadzone) this one just feels way better to an autist like me that notices that stuff. Plus the screen is good.

It has me playing more of my steam backlog than retro titles admittedly. Lot of indie souls knockoffs.

I've never gotten a retro handheld, but I have cash to burn.
Should I dip my toes in with a cheap $40 unit, or just go ahead an splash out on a good $150 or $200 unit.
Or should I skip over it all and just get a Steam Deck? Less portable though.

I barely get time to play games anymore. I don't really know if I'm looking for a good device, or a good way to just to get me to play more games.

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

>>10693427
Depends on what you're after and what you want to achieve with it. To some, pocketability is SUPER important, but that often comes at the sacrifice of power so pocketable devices can't usually reach ps2/GC emulation and beyond terribly well.

Now if you just want something to play on the bed or couch while you've got a background movie/noise on? Steam Decks your best bet as it'll handle everything including most of the ps3's library and due to the drivers being pretty well refined, a lot of the games on Steam as well... trade off though is that premium price, but if you're willing to spend 200-300 on a handheld that isn't pocketable in the first place, best just save the money till you've got enough to comfortably get an OLED Deck.

So yeah, big questions will be in.
>do you care about 6th gen emulation and on?
>do you care about pocketability (more important than you might think)

>>10693427
Are you literally me?
Do you also have hemorroids?

>>10693427
Never hurts to start with something cheap to find out if a portable system will even appeal to you. Steamdeck isn't worth it for emulation alone. It's great for retro but that size and cost isn't worth it if all you want to do is play old games and not your actual Steam library with emu as a bonus.
Honestly it's not the cheapest but I think the best starting point for anyone will always be the Miyoo Mini+ or RG35XX+. Both are good, cheap-ish starting points if you just want to try things out for now, but depending on your needs they might be all you need.

>>10693563
If N64 is your childhood and a dealbreaker why do you want a handheld so bad to begin with? Just stick to your laptop.
People like to rant and rave about emulating N64 and Dreamcast and PS2 and all that shit on a handheld but in reality that's just a novelty, playing most of those systems' games on a tiny screen with handheld controls sucks ass. These things peak as Gameboy/2D console machines. People here are just slaves to the hype cycle.

>>10693585
I've played through pretty much the entire n64 and PSX libraries with my chinkheld and experienced no issues. Perhaps your eyes are just shit gramps.

I do like to hook it up to the TV sometimes though. Making the games bigger doesn't make them look better.

>>10693562
Looks great, like it'll be a nice mix of comfy and horror. I appreciate the recommendation, added to Wishlist, and I'll be picking it up on a sale or a keysite depending on how quickly I work through the games I want to play on the Deck. Gotta beat Asterigos, Ghostwire Tokyo, and Duelist of Roses first(been in a weird yu-gi-oh mood lately, RIP Kazuo), but after those I'll give it a go. I will say, playing this on my bed with MST3K on in the background is... well, worth every dollar that I paid.

Nice. Originally I got the black since I'm not big on the color blue and thought the LEDs around the sticks look badly implemented for transparent. All the vids and complaints of smudges on the black scared me to get it changed to the blue.

>>10693706
>started with SNES and then N64
this is me except n64 is my most hated console of all time. it was all i had for the entirety of the 5th gen and thought i just outright hated 3d games in general until the 6th gen rolled around.

>>10693708
yeah in that one review video the leds looked way too bright but ill probably just turn them off anyways. Blue is my fav color and i love the see through retro colors

>>10693681
Yeah I did. Long commute to work and all that.

I know you're a burger so it might be difficult to imagine a place with a functional public transit system. I do own a car but I'd rather just sit on a train and play video games than drive and suffer through traffic. You're still a faggot.

Why is powkiddy so quiet? After the rgb max 10 they have done nothing.

>>10694014
Those are still in pre-sale. They'll probably give that at least a month of actually being released before teasing Next Thing™.

>>10688985
I've got an RP2S, and you can sideload any android apps you want on there; I've downloaded roms directly to the device with the web browser and over FTP. I'd assume the Linux ones should be at least as flexible.

>>10694014
The only niche left for the RK3566 is a V90 successor, and they probably bet they won't be able to get a new one out before Miyoo and Anbernic release their most-likely-better-quality versions.

Unless it can also run 3DS (which rockshit can't), it's a waste.

is it worth getting android 11 handhelds for switch emulation yet or is it still too slow / low compatibility

Guess we're going to see more Android and less Linux based handhelds this year then?

So the FPGBC finally arrived (photo is not mine, didn’t bother taking one, might take it tomorrow).
It certainly has its quirks, but it’s a good low cost option for cart shovers compared to an analogue pocket or a modded gbc.
Pros:
>screen is nice, full non integer scaling is almost non noticeable, has pixel frame option for integer scaling, which I use
>runs games perfectly fine, with the following settings
>gbc - use gbc core
>gb - use gb core
>gb on gbc - use gbc core with gb block fix setting, otherwise some sprites turn into black blocks for whatever reason
>color palettes on gb core
>you can overclock the cores a bit, great for RPGs (the core speed seems now much better than what the YouTubers reported with the 1.0 version and on par with original hardware
>cable works!
>good battery life, better than an original gbc on batteries or a modded one on a LiPo battery
>charges faster than reported by YT bing bing wahoo people

Cons:
>audio is too loud and shit with a bit of hiss, I suspect the amp on the board or the transducer itself
>flashcart support is shit, I’m on the latest firmware version and the EZflash he still doesn’t work, ever drive x5 works. I’ll try updating the EZflash to FW 1.05 and report back (it’s on 1.04)
>no IR, fucking cunts have all the hardware needed but didn’t solder the emitter and receiver, might try it myself and see if it’s programmed on the FPGA (probably not)
>the boot logo HOLY SHIT THE BOOT LOGO MAKES ME WANT TO STRANGLE THE FUCKING CHINKS WHO DEVELOPED THIS THING FUCK

And that’s it. The worst is by far the boot logo, for fucks sake it’s fucking HORRIBLE.

7/10 would buy again.

>>10694691
I mean, what the fuck is this shit?
Also, the new FW update gave the menu some transparency, which in practice makes the options harder to read. I’m sure they’re going to reverse that change.

Is that ranking supposed to be sales in china or just your personal preference?

I plugged an usb controller onto my phone with a USB C to regular USB adapter and it worked.

>>10694720
One of the firmwares has the gameboy boot logo. But there were other problems with it so I updated to the current one with the ugly fpgbc logo.

>>10694779
very cool anon.

Could juat be the x19. No idea what chip powkiddy would even get, though. No way snapdragon will budge and probably another good mediatek chip.

>>10694632
I returned both my deck and my ally, but I had the Ally during Palworld launch and it ran sort of okay. My friend, who did have a Deck, had to play on his desktop because the Deck couldn't even keep 30 fps.

If I ever get a handheld, it better be at least at current laptop technology and not running the equivalent of a gtx 960 or whatever.

>>10694965
I looked on jewtube and it seems pretty easy to clear 30fps on Deck in Palworld. There's even an ETA Prime vid where's he's running it capped to 30 without dips and he didn't even drop the resolution from 800p. Not saying there's anything wrong with playing on desktop for a better experience, but it sounds like your friend just didn't know what settings to use.

>>10694776
Its a personal thing.

Anyone fix a DSi before?

Where the fuck can I get those rubber like things for the top screen screw covers and the back screw covers.

I have only seen them on AliExpress for DS Lite.

I stopped watching his videos a few years ago because I just couldn't stand hearing the same 4 catch-phrases on loop every time.
He was like a parody of himself.

R36S turned out okay, arkos is a bit annoying but I got retroarch configured, still to try out that nice shimmerless shader but at least the LCD ones can kinda cover some stuff up but- I don't have access to the partition where retroarch is or know how to acess it yet so I'll try that later.
The screen's nice, great for handheld stuff though a little small for FF admiring something like FF V.

Would like to disable the reset button if I could but I'll look into that later.
Battery life was okay for me, ran it down to 30% and only issue with battery so far is that it says it's charged waaay ahead of time. Like it reads 100% when it's at 40% etc so you need to unplug it for a minute to check what it's actually charged at. Not a problem if you leave it plugged in, but if you autistically charge lithium to 80% or so then it's gonna require some getting used to.

Overall way better than I was expecting.

>>10695708
My same gripe with RetroGameCorps. At least his videos are actually informative though...

New kid on the block. Seem any good? What could this have eventually that existing gba emulators don't already have?

>>10695969
how do you like the d-pad on the AP? lots of folks are reporting it's kinda shit, especially for shooters.

>>10686721

>um you can't criticize it because it's NEW
It doesn't do anything different, it doesn't strive to do anything different, and it's worse than most everything that came before it.
It doesn't justify its existence. I understand why you might sympathize with it, but it doesn't get a pass because it's new.

>>10696323
>expecting it to be better than everything else right out of the gate
Duckstation also sucked when it came out.

>>10696325
You downloaded a program and didn't expect it to be worth your time? That's pretty fucking stupid, anon. Genuine retard behavior.
>>expecting it to be better than everything else
Nobody said that, maybe you should wipe the tears out of your eyes and learn to read.

>>10696335
>You downloaded a program and didn't expect it to be worth your time?
Worth the few minutes to take a look at it and see what its like? I mean yeah i'd say it was worth it.

>>10696249
its fine
i beat gg aleste 3 without issue
if the dpad sucks on the pocket nothing in the thread is good

What’s the verdict on the rp4 and pro? Personally I’m not getting one just because once I hit GameCube and PS2 territory I end up preferring TV anyways, I’m good with the 3 pro, 2S and 3ds right now. In a few years I’d love a 4:3 OLED though but I’m not sure where Chang would source those from if they even exist since it’s always gotta be trashed phone parts or whatever.

>>10696347
If you're not interested in gamecube or ps2 then you probably don't need a rp4. Though saturn might run better on the 556.
But anyway the verdict seems to be that its fine. If you're playing anything that uses the sticks for a long time you'll probably need the grip. Also the shoulder buttons might break on you.

>>10686106
Isnt otogi broken in xemu and cxbx

>>10696338
It obviously wasn't worth it, because it's worse than anything you already had installed and doesn't do anything new. There's no reason to have kept it on your hard drive.
>Duckstation sucked when it came out
DuckStation wasn't the best option, but it did something different by being a lightweight emulator that didn't rely on outdated plugins like everything else. Right out of the gate, it had a reason to justify its existence.
>erm actually you just said-
False equivalence.
>it's worse than everything else
is not

Keep at your English studies, Rahjesh.

>>10696380
>>it's worse than everything else
>is not
>>it should be better than everything else
Ah so you're saying it should be the same as everything else since thats the only option left.

>>10696303
>more options is bad
So there should one be one emulator for performance and one for accuracy for each console right?

>>10696167
>What could this have eventually that existing gba emulators don't already have?
Pokemon Throwback taught me all GBA emulators have broken audio and devs don't care to fix it, mGBA mangles its GB Player.

>>10696435
>the only options are
>better than everything
>worse than everything
>same as everything
You're implying that every other option is the same. You're a retard and clearly don't know what you're arguing.

>>10696457
>>more options is bad
Nobody said this. Wipe the tears out of your eyes and learn to read.
Like you, it doesn't justify its existence.

>>10696523
It justifies its existence by being another option.

>>10696523
Sounds like you shouldn't have used the word worse then, especially after you already said hades isn't any different. What did you mean exactly by worse then?

>>10696342
NOOOOOO!!! it is heckin le BAD!!!

You're kidding yourself if you say you will not use something like an Odin 2 or even a retroid 4 for things other than gaming.

Just saying.
