Sugar Cube has got to be the single most fucking retarded company in the business, their designs are so rancid that AI literally does a better job. They're not even meme devices worth laughing at for their novelty, they're just fucking retarded.

>>10775358
Yes, those are giant L3 and R3 buttons with one analog stick. Just what the absolute fuck? We don't discuss this company here for a reason. Their products aren't for fucking anybody anywhere.

>>10775358
>>10775362
They wanted to make the GKD Pixel but to be able to barely run some PS2/GameCube games... literally nobody asked for this

>>10775332
This is the handheld these specs are for.
What the absolute fuck is the purpose of rotating the screen?
The d-pad is a fucking concave disc on a stick.
What the fuck are those analog sticks?
This is the single worst vertical design of all time.

>>10775372
You rotate the screen because the fucking faggots couldn't figure out how to rotate MAME titles to orientate properly with their shitty cores, I am not joking.

I know the SD cards that come with these devies are trash-tier but what about the ROMs themselves? Are they decent dumps or should I redownload them from somewhere else?

>>10775362
Is that the fucking AI Unicorn d-pad I see

>>10775582
Not quite but similar enough.

The problem seems to be that these chinkhelds finally started getting goo in 2021-2023 and now every fucking retard thinks they can just release a shitty handheld and make bank.

>>10775237
Who cares about using carts in this? You can load from sd can’t you? Just keep the entire library of every handheld on it at all times and use the carts as decoration.

>>10775581
The ROMs themselves are usually shit-tier dumps, just download your ROMs yourself.

Should I sell my original steam deck and get an OLED? It’d be about $250 after selling my original deck.

It's here! Where can I get yuzu and Citra now...

Am I gaslighting myself but does my ITA GBA mod look worse.

>>10775690
Looks weird. Did you adjust the potentiometer?

>>10775656

>>10775705
Looks the same on my DSLite I think Im just gaslighting myself.

>>10775648
No.

The Miyoo Flip is in final preproduction.

>>10775723
There is 0 reason for this to have analogs.
Also why does the plastic look cheaper than the non flip?

>>10775723
absolutely kino

>>10775597
>Who cares about using carts in this?
Why the fuck even buy it then? Just get a cheaper device

>>10775729
Agreed, those low analog sticks look so uncomfortable. I'd never buy a device with those.

>>10775723
>Recessed analogs

Who is this for, unironically?

russ choking up as he thinks of the poor retards no longer able to play playstation 2 on their chinkhelds ;~;

>>10775756
Reddit uncle. No, really, there were reports Miyoo were debating it and got cold feet over the possibility of reviewers trashing it over no sticks. Anbernig's version having them probably helped settled the matter too.

>>10775756
consumers that need to own everything to collect dust on their shelf

>>10775767
How else is he supposed to play 2D bmups?

>>10775729
>Also why does the plastic look cheaper than the non flip?
probably just because it's not final, it's common enough for chinks to do prototyping with shit plastic
though considering how shit the rest of of the flips development has been, i wouldn't put it past them just fucking up the shell too

>>10775759
4pda. Google.

>>10775767
That Wasn’t a joke either. They actually had internal debates based on reviewers shitting on it for lack of sticks.

>>10775767
>reddit uncle
Literally who?

>>10775648
No.

So did Anbernic cancel this?

>>10775767
>Anbernig's version having them probably helped settled the matter too.
But it doesn't?

>>10775734
Because it has perfect emulation and a high resolution screen that can perfectly emulate the LCDs of the consoles it can play. It’s also the only device that is designed like a gameboy.
I see its ability to play real carts as a gimmick. It’s how it plays the games that matters, an analogue gives you the best build quality, best aesthetic design, best display and best LCD emulation. Nothing else can do that.

>>10775872
Ask brother zhou

>>10775884
Aaaahahahahaha
Oh wait, you're serious. Let me laugh harder.
AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAAAA
Out of ALL the vertical emulation handhelds, the Analogue Pocket is least aesthetically like an actual GameBoy/GameBoy Color/GameBoy Pocket. What the absolute fuck are you going off about?

>>10775592
You guys have shown that no matter how retarded a chinkheld is, someone will buy it.

>>10775884
>It’s also the only device that is designed like a gameboy.

>>10775656
Oof, they put the dpad in the wrong spot. Better send it back.

>>10775902
That looks like chinsy cheap shit midget box, you have no taste.
Analogue Pocket looks exactly like a slimline GameBoy pocket in the correct scale.
What you posted looks like what it is, cheap. The screen is also cheap. It also can’t emulate the look of the various LCDs of the original handhelds because it’s low resolution.

You think the analogue pockets only superiority to this is that it can use real carts? That’s the actual gimmick. It’s the parts quality, screen, emulation quality and build/design why they stay sold out.

>>10775912
>build/design
looks like a 3D printed college project, am I missing something?

>>10775917
Yes, taste.
You think this looks 3D printed and not the Chinese midget box?

I have Etsy product reviews
>Case & Grip for Retroid Pocket 4 and Pro 2-in-1 3D Printed - Etsy
EpicPrintingShop makes a must-have grip/case for the Pocket 2S with better ergonomics than the official grip but it isn't a must-have with the Pocket 4 and 4 Pro. The ergonomics are good on the case but not to the sheer extent as the Pocket 2S, since the 4/Pro already has decent enough ergonomics to not fatigue my hands while holding it normally for an hour or so, and the design hampers access to the volume rocker. I will probably cut off the part of the top-most clamp that covers the volume rocker and see if that doesn't compromise the case's ability to grip onto the system. 7.5/10, Not a huge improvement over the official grip on this system model (Remains a 9/10 or so on the Pocket 2S, highly recommend buying one for that system instead of the official grip!)

>>10775921
>AXEEZ - For Odin 2 ( and some Retroid Pockets)
Ordered the Mid and Tall sizes.

I love the idea of a taller thumbstick replacement for the Pocket 4 and 2S, but AXEEZ are not good for this. They don't fit the system very well! To be expected since they were designed for the Odin 2 and not the Pocket 2S and later, but the increased height makes the stick slam against the device's shell (or the screen...) and drag along thickly against the device if it has a rubber cap on it. The seller recommends Skull & Co. stick caps for the AXEEZ but I didn't find any that were really good enough to keep them on the stick. The best were the "Skin Grip" and "CQC Elite" style grips for Switch joycons and Switch Lite, which were billed by the seller as being best for the Mid sticks but which ended up fitting all of them with no issues because the actual stick topper doesn't deviate in size, just the length. Additionally the Steam Deck grips were a poor fit for either size of stick topper and were an especially poor fit when put onto a Retroid Pocket. There's no point to these for a Pocket device, stick with putting them on an Odin 2 if you must have them. 0/10 they did not work, the original sticks are better in every way!

>>10775876
Well nevermind then, I suck dicks. Could have sworn the transparent prototype was Zhou's.

>>10775237
every single time I think about buying a pocket there is always somebody reminding me why I shouldn't buy one. fuck it, I'm buying an evercade super pocket instead

>>10775972
you do know how old that webm is right

>>10775984
Don't worry, I know it's pretty old. But it doesn't change the fact that analogue is simply a cuestionable company. I think they make neat products but most people agree that the lack of communication and support are the reason why people don't like the company

>>10775921
Good to know

The problem with emulation is that you're always aware of it and when you have to compromise on something because of price, like the chip or screen size, you are constantly aware of it and constantly aware that it's emulation every time you go into the emulator menu to mess with settings forever because you can never make it feel "just right." Emulation takes the magic out of gaming, it removes soul from the experience.

>>10776092
I agree, but most People are not autistic, if it plays the game that's enough for them.

>>10776092

>>10775912
this post reads like an advertisement, truly a consumer turned into a product ambassador

>>10775912
Why are your promotional shots straight from the Analogue Pocket website? They're not what show up on Google Image Search.

>>10776092
I'm just as aware of when I'm playing an emulated version of a game as I am aware when I'm playing the original cartridge/disc, in the exact same sense that I'm aware when playing a game on PC and aware of when I'm playing some shitty touch screen mobile shit. Especially when that shitty touch screen mobile shit gets a quick free to play PC port.

They're different experiences and they're both enjoyable for different reasons, though I believe the physical act of putting in each individual game cartridge is mostly nostalgic and if I didn't grow up with it I would likely find it to be tedious as fuck now. Different strokes for different folks, so long as they're enjoying retro games. Emulating is only a compromise if you specifically collect or have autism and need the physical stimulation, as you can do infinitely more and run games better with emulation usually.

>>10775237
As someone who actually has one, this isn't an actual problem when you're playing it. The cartridge slot (on the newer units at least) is pretty tight. This isn't going to happen unless you do it on purpose.

>>10775912
Your self-defeating post is so embarrassing that I believe you're just a troll roleplaying his hardest as an Analogue Pocket purchaser out of unsupervised boredom.

>>10775374
they could have at least made it a 4:3 then, so you could get closer to proper aspect. That's my biggest beef with the switch, no easy way to play vertical without feeling like a shit.

>>10776092
>Emulation takes the magic out of gaming
t. child
there is nothing more magical than being able to play everything i had growing up on a single cheap device

>>10775912
Miyoo Mini was always sold out as well, that means absolutely nothing for its build quality, lmfao.
Also;
>That looks like chinsy cheap shit midget box, you have no taste.
The Analogue Pocket is literally chink shit. Here's one of the design documents a Californian emailed to China to have the device manufactured for them. :)

>>10775912
Post your very own anal log, come on, with a timestamp of course

>>10776289
How do you not know?

>>10776290
>on a single cheap device
Gay. Either you have the system already, that or just have something decent to play it on with an actual good controller.

>>10776318
Zoomers who grew up with touch screen devices could never understand the sentiment of wanting your entire game library on one game handheld because they born into it; All the Zoomie staples were always available on their smart phones. Minecraft, Roboblox, Fortnite. They literally are incapable of understanding.

>>10776318
It's pretty magical that a library of 800+ games that would cost $40-100 each individually along with the $200-500 console and television hookup can all fit in a pocket for $50 just two decades later.

Is the anon that bought the steam deck to use as a computer here? How's the experiment going?

>>10776240

Bro, GBA games are not that expensive. Get better games or a flash cart

>>10775723
but can it play gba games with no problem?

>>10776407
I think it has the same chip as the MM+ so, yeah

>>10775723
Why hasn't any of these companies just made a GBA SP?

It seems like the most obvious, lowest effort highest return thing to put out.

>>10776461
It exists, but the chip sucks.

Artwork designed to look good on a 2 and a quarter inch unlit 94 PPI one step up from a calculator screen can only be truly appreciated at 6 times the pixel density on a completely different display technology, anything less just isn't faithful to the creator's vision

>>10776573
Go ahead, make fun of Pocketchads while you play Lego Racers on ps1 at 8 times the resolution or whatever you retard

>>10776619
it's funny because the anal log is like $250 shipped and it can't even play ps1 at 1x res

>>10776619

>>10776619
Utterly butterly ass blasted

>>10776661
Imagine paying $200 to emulate the problems with the GameBoy's hardware. This is so fucking stupid and it doesn't even do it properly. Each pixel is on a 4x4 grid where the first nine pixels are filled properly and then the bottom/right line of seven pixels are left blank, and the pixel-to-gap ratio on the original GameBoy Pocket screen was most definitely NOT fucking 3:1. You can't even see the fucking gaps between pixels normally.

And I say GameBoy Pocket because that pic uses the GBP colours, not the original pea green dot matrix GameBoy. Actually, what the fucking hell IS that fucking filter? It has a fucking GameBoy Color bezel/power light, it has the GameBoy Pocket's black and white screen colours, and then it has the fucking original GB's pixel grid effect. This is retarded in every direction. UNLESS it is ATTEMPTING to make GameBoy games somewhat look like what they would on a GameBoy Color without the colour swapping feature?

any anons have a recommendation for a controller for my android phone? want to handheld game with my phone, but dont know what to pick. years ago I used to have a cheap bluetooth controller, didn't work that well but maybe things have gotten better. I have a PS5 controller, should I just buy a clip and use that? is there a good brand of controllers for android phones?

>>10776771
I think it's a GBC overlay, but you're right, it still makes black and white GB games look like they're on the GBP even though the GBP doesn't have pixel gaps, it just has severe ghosting worse than any DS or DSlite model.

>>10776773
If I need a controller for my phone, the DS4 is the best home console controller to use, but clipping a phone to an actual game controller fucking sucks. It's not portable, pocketable, requires setup, pain in the ass when needing to use your phone for ANYTHING (including answering a call), it's just not fucking worth the hassle at fucking all.

I would sooner recommend a clip-on controller that hosts your phone in the middle, in which case you just search for the one that's in the price range you're willing to spend with the ergonomics/button placement you want. Personally, I plan to get one of these Ipega controllers for my Galaxy Flip 5, but I wouldn't recommend this Ipega controller unless you specifically had a flip or folding phone.

>>10776378
If you do it on purpose? Yes. If you stick it up your ass it'll also smell like shit.

>>10776776
I also forgot to mention how fucking to-heavy and uncomfortable it is to clip your phone to a controller. It makes playing mobile games that can use traditional controls amazing to play with the improved inputs alone, but the fucking top-heavy weight makes it bullshit after ten minutes. A proper controller grip for your phone will prevent that entirely. And even though most controller grips can fold, there isn't a controller grip in the world that will be able to form-factor close your phone over the controller's buttons and analog sticks. At least... not yet. I've made some concepts for a phone controller that can just fold over the phone, doubling as a case to protect the phone when closed. But it's always going to either be top-heavy as fuck, or the entire thing will be heavier than an Xbox to counter it.

>>10776783
>waah waah, not all phones have the same dimensions and no design will be universally form-factor with every single phone!
I don't fucking care, it can be a centimetre taller than the phone itself, I was considering two general basic fit-enough designs to cover most models. They wouldn't be like actual phone cases where you specifically need the exact design for your specific phone model to line up with the buttons and camera and shit, just a clip that relatively covers the screen when closed.

>>10775179

>>10776817
I was actually semi-considering adding this to the pic in >>10776267 as a joke but it really took away from how awkward the Analogue looks among the others. Like the less-than-average girl who's best friends with the ugliest girl possible to make herself look better/more normal in comparison.

So it's gonna be a flipflop?

>>10776771
that looks like complete shit anon.

>>10776771
>Each pixel is on a 4x4 grid where the first nine pixels are filled properly and then the bottom/right line of seven pixels are left blank

>>10776918
This image is fucking me up because the actual picture of Mario has darker pixels between every square, but there's an optical illusion forming darker circles between the green and black squares to the right of Mario in the corner of my eye.

Getting a new Retroid 4 soon, tinkering with filters that look good in 750p. Really liking crt-super-xbr. Anyone else here use CRT filters?

>>10776918
Those are pixel shadows, you can kill them on Shader Parameters since they don't look too great on 480p, cranking up Neighbor Blending kills spacing too. YMMV since this is on PC and chinkhelds sometimes show shaders differently.

As for the shader, it's a recolor of the DMG one, and that overlay in particular is anon's edit because the original overlay's power led looked like ass.

>>10776990
Wait, wrong shot.

>>10776971
crt filters on a handheld are kind of weird since crt's were almost never that small.

>tfw have shaders for everything but no idea if the real game on real hardware actually looked like that nor I care since I like it how it looks on my silly device

>>10776990
>>10776995
My only complaints here are that it's still doing a 3-to-1 pixel/line bullshit and the power light on the left looking so artificial, like a high school student used photoshop and traced photo and didn't bother to align any of it properly.

>>10777019
Actually, fuck that, because when I was in high school I was making skins and shit for my EZ Flash and CycloDS and still paid attention to such details when I was 14, so these aren't even high school level issues, they're elementary issues the filter has from the get go.

>>10777019
Like lol it doesn't even look like they got the font correct for either the Power logo or the GameBoy Pocket logo. I would sooner kill myself than let that happen.

>>10776971
NES and SNES games never, ever fucking looked like this.
...I do recall PSX titles looking like this on my tv, tho.

>>10775723
The SP is my favorite handheld of all time. I would buy two of these if had no analog sticks. Probably just gonna stick with my Miyoo Mini Plus and RG35XX Plus, unfortunately. Looks stupid and I know I would never use them anyway. What a waste.

>>10777037
It's a thing where they exaggerate the effect of scan lines, pixel gaps, rgb CRT, etc to make it more apparent that they put in the effort to do it. Like the gigantic fabric textures in Dead Rising so you could SEE the fabric.

>>10777041
Ya, neither the Miyoo or Anbernic Flip offer anything to you if you already own an RG35XX +. They're both weaker hardware and so redundant with what you already got, it'd be more beneficial for you to buy an RG35XX H.

>>10777027
>>10777030
Agreed, though you can load the shader borderless too.

>>10777040
Thank you Capcom for letting me see the fabric on Jessica's clothing but not any of Otis's fucking messages to me because you NEEDED an HD TV to fucking read them.

>>10775179
Do 3d games suck on my miyoo because it's square, or because it's a handheld? I'm thinking about upgrading to a RP4 pro, but it would only be to make 3d games fun to play due to the form factor and analog sticks. Do these things make the difference, or do you really need a larger screen and a free-standing controller for 3d games to be fun?

>>10776971
I played with filters for like a year, but I realized that I strongly prefer bright colors to accurate pixel blending. I felt like I "had" to use filters to get an accurate view, but it really killed the fun for me. I also turn up brightness a bit in modern games though, I might just be a me thing.

>>10777056

>>10777057
What the fuck do you even mean by 3D games, idiot? PlayStation? N64? GameCube? Xbox? DS? PSP? GameBoy Advance? SNES? These are all entirely different fields. "3D games" means fucking shit all.

>>10777072
Nigger you know exactly what I mean. Games where you move your character through a space with three axes rather than two. Stop being a faggot.

>>10775723
The sticks look like shit. Make them circle pads like on the Flip or just get rid of them completely.

>>10777057
It would significantly help with starting by telling us which 3D games you're failing to play on your Miyoo. You didn't even specify whether it was a Mini or Mini +.

How did you even find /vr/ let alone this thread?

>>10777075
Fuck analog sliders/circle pads. They're garbage on the 3DS and PSP and they're garbage on any thing else.

>>10777076
>Games where you move your character through a space with three axes rather than two.
PlayStation? N64? GameCube? Xbox? DS? PSP? GameBoy Advance? SNES? These are all entirely different fields. "3D games" means fucking shit all.

>>10777078
Nigger you can apply the principles I asked about to any square handheld without sticks and obviously on a miyoo I'm talking about ps1 games, though I've inferred that other 3d consoles might suck for the same reasons. I don't remember this thread being full of pedantic shitsucking faggots a few months ago

>>10777076
No one cares that you're fresh from /v/.

>>10777084
What do you even mean by "different fields" you fucking retard. Moving through a 3d environment is the same on any console, that's why ports exist. The only difference is whether a console is dual-stick or single stick in the case of the n64

>>10777076
>>10777087
Your only issue with PSX games on the Miyoo Mini or Miyoo Mini + would be playing games that require the dual shock inputs, such as Ape Escape. Most 3D games on the PSX used the d-pad for movement. Is your issue playing specific PSX titles, or are you too retarded to use d-pad controls in games designed for d-pad controls?

>>10777089
Everybody's favorite insult when they've been btfo. Kys
>verification not required

>>10777091
Oh wow. You're serious.

>>10777094
Idk if it's about having to rotate around the dpad to turn, or the fact that the triggers are harder to use or what, but playing 3d games on my miyoo has been unpleasant and I wanted to know if other people had similar experiences and, if so, whether horizontal consoles with sticks solved the problem. Instead I got a bunch of pedantic faggots spamming me with unhelpful bullshit like it's their responsibility to ruin the conversation

>>10777095

>>10777106
Is someone paying you to shit up the board with meaningless, unverifiable "I'm an old fag and you're not" bullshit? You certainly do it like it's your job. My miyoo is great for 2d games, I'm asking a straightforward question about other people's experiences with handhelds in the fucking handheld thread.

>>10777103
Nobody here ruined anything but you with your impotent, unsolicited racial slurs and homophobia over... you knee-jerk impulsively buying a Miyoo and discovering playing PS1 games on it is uncomfortable.

You're trolling. This can't be real. You're some bored child on mommy's tablet roleplaying as a Miyoo owner because you saw them on Tiktok.

>>10777117
>I'm an oldfag and you're not routine again
Kill yourself, nigger. It's the handheld thread. And I'll call you any slur I want.

>>10777103
Sorry people are being shitters on here. For a genuine answer, yes PSX games are designed to be dpad accesible, but there's a good reason sony quickly made dualshocks the standard PS1 controller. Dpad's just aren't comfortable for games expecting 360 degrees of movement. That said, since you got a Miyoo, it sounds like you aren't trying to go for super heavy end emulation. I'd say, unless you care about gamecube and PS2, just do the Pocket 2S with a grip

>>10777119
Thanks, that makes a lot of sense. I wouldn't mind doing paying for PS2 and GameCube, I got the miyoo to test out whether I would end up using a handheld much in the first place.

>>10777110
I own a Miyoo. You do not.

There's like four cores on the Miyoo capable of 3D games, nobody is psychic and can magically predict you specifically meant your experience playing dpad Playstation games made you sad because they use a dpad.

>>10777121
Then a Pocket 4 Pro (also with a grip) is probably your best bet, yea. Just keep in mind android takes a lot more setup and tinkering since it's not a bespoke OS, look up a setup guide. Also be aware it'll take a few weeks before a 4P arrives since they're still handling recent orders. I think I heard the 16 bit variants are the longest wait right now since so many people ordered so I'd avoid that.

Maybe this one's chip is good at sd888 but the other companies said it would push up their prices.

>>10777041
They should have made the Miyoo Flip a tad wider by at least 1.5 inches if they intend to actually keep both analog sticks.

>It's not portable, pocketable, requires setup, pain in the ass when needing to use your phone for ANYTHING (including answering a call)
is this not the case with every controller? most phones are huge these days and with a case barely fit in your pocket. with headphones you can still answer phone calls just as easily. also when gaming im not trying to do anything else but gaming

>ipega controller
im looking for something with a screen on top of the controller instead of split on the sides (too long for me). is ipega any good? years ago the controller i had was ipega, and the quality was a bit shoddy

>>10777046
The 35xx+ has a better chip than the 3655?

>>10777276
They essentially have the same real world performance (still shit), but the H700 gets much better battery life and is actually capable of giving accurate battery readings in Linux. Fairly confident it's cheaper, too. So yeah, I'd say it's better.

I will eventually convert every single poster in here to the analogue pocket blehahahah
it has been slowly happening for months

>>10777310
doing wii and under how much space should I get getting odin

I am quite digging my trimui smart pro, impressive image quality for for psp games.
Great microswitch buttons.
But the placement of the analog stick is horrible.
Is there a similar device as a trimui but with the dpad and stick swapped?

Aside from the 3 times expensive odin i mean.
Also are there any handhelds featuring psp slider pads?

>>10776971
I fucking hate it that this is almost always a default setting.
Stop making your images worse folks.

Wasn't everyones gameboy 7 inches thick to fit the crt or was it just mine then?

This device is literally the PEAK for 2D retro gaming
>identical in screen size to 3.5" 4:3 screens, but with higher pixel density
>GB/NGPC/Turbografx/PICO-8 fills out more of the screen than on any other console

>perfect for vertical arcade schmups, being the ONLY handheld with a device that doesn't have a horizontal bias
Sure, once you get to PSX/Dreamcast/N64, it kind of loses its main advantages, but for everything before that, you CANNOT find a better device. The only thing that would make it better is a touch screen so you could have full DS compatibility on it, too.

It's a 1:1 display, none of those consoles fill out the screen.
I'm sure it's nice, but don't just fucking lie.

>>10777687
Okay, ALMOST fills out the screen. Fills it out better than on any other aspect ratio. Besides PICO-8, which does literally, without hyperbole, fill out the entire screen. If we're gotta get *pedantic* about it.

I don't get something from the spreadsheet. DS emulation is below N64, but isn't the former more demanding than the latter?

>>10778113
depends on emulator. desmuseme was trash and didnt run full speed. melonds on the other hand ran flawlessly. not talking about handhelds. just my machine and what works on my machine

Is retroarch n64 emulation accurate enough now that it can run all the retail games well on an Odin 2? I don't want to pay for the standalone mupen app and I'm autistic so I need my games to have retroachievements.

>>10774964
Dunno if this is true for all Retroid Products, but my Retroid Pocket 2S doesn't have Google Play services installed. It used to nag me to do it through notifications before, but I found a way to turn it off.

>>10778129
>all
No.

>>10778129
I don't know what game are you looking for playing but, with the standalone emulator kirby 64 was shitting up the bed while with the retroarch core it runs fine just like every game I have tried so far, the retroarch core can't run romhacks tho

>>10778129
>pay for the standalone
Google or yandex the apk, my moeigga.
>>10778316
Kirby was shit for me on my phone with standalone too. I think switching modes helps, but one would give grphical issues and others would be slow as shit.

>>10778138
Retroid always give you the option of whether you want google services installed or not in their wizard when you first turn on the device.

>>10778113

Why would Nintendo inform Google of the name?

>>10778617
>>10778620
Why though, who asked for this?

>>10778674
No one. I'm guessing they're just having trouble with the Flip's design, and needed to delay it

I wanted another tiny sub 4" horizlop trying to desperately prey on my famicom nostalgia! It'll fit perfectly in my small hands and I won't have cramps at all! eat my shit SPissbabytoddler!

Why are so many people creaming themselves over this? The only cool feature it has over any other cart is NTRBoot without having to flash it and better build quality. It's still just a bog standard R4 clone running wood otherwise.The FPGA they added literally does nothing ATM. "We'll find something to use this for in a later update." It's not even the bomb in most new R4 clones. That's EZ (heh) to remove just by replacing the firmware with the flashcart build of TwilightMenu++. At least they priced it reasonably at $25.

You're asking why people are gooning to a new device that is only barely sort of better than a previous device on the thread that is basically just people doing that

I don't like it either but I really do get that it's fucking scary when you realize that this innocent thing you've been doing could really potentially actually just ruin your life.

If I were the FBI devs I would be shitting my pants, even if its completely frivolous a Nintendo lawsuit could ruin your life.

It's that simple.

>>10778849
>>10778850
Probably because its a product from a reputable (by the standards of flash cart manufacturer) company that isn't going to require installing custom firmware to avoid a timebomb, and yeah, it isn't built like shit and is slightly more user friendly.

Solid incremental product development

>>10779007
It most probably is but I also bet you've never had any scares like this happen to you.

>>10779007
FBI haven't been doing any of that, take the ninja cock out of your mouth

>>10779021
That's exactly my point retard. If they haven't done any of that, then they're pulling it out of a stupid overreaction.

>>10778995
>stealing from the rich and giving to the poor is... LE BAD

Is the tablet guy here? I need to know what tablet to buy for generally content consuming. The one I was going to buy (tab m10 plus 3rd gen) has shot way up in price and doesn't seem worth it anymore

>>10779024
Yes because Nintendo is a company known for its carefully measured and not at all vexatious and aggressive litigation strategy

>>10779028
If Nintendo goes after someone with no justifiable excuse, then the entire industry gets flipped upside down.

>>10779035
sweaty the entire industry has been upside down for ages if that's your criteria.

My R36S just got here
Aside from installing the newest ArkOS on a non-sht micro sd, backing up the games and scraping the boxart, is there any other optimization to be done or I can start playing stuff now?

>>10779035
What you define as justifiable excuse and what Nintendo's liability assessment processes would define as one are leagues apart.

These are the people that sued over photocopied manuals, purely to hurt Blockbuster, shut down Smash tournaments for using a mod to make the games playable across the internet, threatened to sue Romhack makers, abused Youtube copyright system to take down and take control of fan made free advertising for their own products, the list goes on.

Nobody gave a shit when they did all that, nobody will give a shit if they decide to ruin the lives of some random people that are doing something entirely legal because they dislike it

>>10779062
>abused Youtube copyright system to take down and take control of fan made free advertising for their own products

>with no justifiable excuse
Huh?

>>10779080
Yes retard, music on youtube is totally a threat to their copyright even though virtually no other publisher seems to agree or take similar action.

>>10779059
Probably just general emulator tweaking in each one's settings

>>10778849
Oh, I forgot to mention. It's running a fork of Wood 1.25 (the last open source version). So it's missing 3 years worth of AP fixes that EZ-Flash now has to re-implement. AKA the compatibility kinda sucks balls ATM. They just released an update to fix Black & White 2. Lmao.

>>10779080
Yeah, because all those positive reviews, and let's plays, and fan videos, and showcases, and skits etc were straight reuploads of Nintendo IP with no transformative or fair use merit and no potential benefit to Nintendo or anyone else outside of piracy

>>10779084
I was wondering more in terms of general QOL and screen quality, I want it as a general purpose entertainment device, as laptops suck shit and I have a decent desktop. Mainly thinking watching, reading, gaming in that order, but wary of bloated android as I run Graphene without GAPPs on my phone. Mostly care about OLED and low bullshit factor

Trying to decide between a tab s7+, s9+, a lenovo tab m10+, or just waiting for something better. Would go with the pixel tablet but the hardware is shit

>>10779094
>>10779080
as someone who runs a small label
its not that they care about the IP
its annoying not having control over what your brand\IP is associated with

b-but money
b-b-but muh validation

>>10779059
Not much, just tweaking your shit in retroarch, changing shortcuts, change your directories for savegames/savestates if you want them easily accessible etc and scrape your library.
Also if you use shaders, download the latest gl stuff, extract it to your SD card and use the file manager to copy it over to the retroarch directory.

>>10779062
>These are the people that sued over photocopied manuals, purely to hurt Blockbuster,
To be fair to Nintendo, they managed to pull it off in their homeland so it tracks that they were butthurt enough to do the same globally to try and prevent rentals.
Remember when EA tried to implement multiplayer into everything and tack online passes onto games in the 7th gen to prevent 2nd hand game sales and everyone gave them shit over it? That's exactly what Nintendo would have done, had they an online system absolutely anyone, at all cared about.

>>10779124
I mean if you want a multipurpose device laptops are fine? I would really only go for a tablet/handheld for the portability factor, as with laptops you can't really get good performance and a small size although that's more because no company cares to R&D that.

>>10779114
This isn't even just a Nintendo thing though. Youtube and Google get slammed all the time with DMCA claims no matter how the record label music is used. Look at Twitch and how vods get deleted/censored just for playing background music.

>>10779124
7+ has everything you need but the 9+ is basically that but better in every way. Way nicer screen, more power, better connectivity to my tv, I haven't played Dolphin on my 9+ but it worked fine on my regular 7 so I can only assume it's better on the 9+. Here's the catch, though: the S7 and S9 have decent battery life. The S9+ does not. It's like a few hours of doing something then time to take out the USB cable. Same with the Ultra series, the S8 Ultra battery life blows and I was hoping the 9+ would be better since the screen is smaller but it just isn't.

>>10778934
Nah, blow your fucking head off or hang on a tree, Nintendunce. You are a brand fanatic. Take yourself away from this world.

>>10779085

Wow really, Apple and Sony and Microsoft are out their DMCAing positive, even slavish coverage of their products?
And I wasn't talking about music, Nintendoguzzler mentioned it to deflect

>>10779253
S7+ is like half the price of the S9+ so I'll probably go for that, thanks.

>>10779326
No problem, have fun!

>>10779203
I have a laptop, it sucks shit for everything except typing stuff and being a kind of acceptable computer when I can't use an actual computer for whatever reason.

Getting a laptop that doesn't suck shit is at the minute nearly impossible, you can get an m1 MBA, which will not suck for approximately 5 minutes, after which you will want to use something that apple doesn't like, at which point it will suck shit.

Modern laptops are too thin to cool the overpowered CPUs manufacturers insist on shoving into them, so they have noisy, whiny fans, their screens aren't good, their keyboards suck, using windows or Linux with a touch screen sucks, track pads have always sucked, their high voltage components mean battery life sucks, which means big heavy batteries requiring a high wattage charger for battery life equivalent to a shitty $100 phone

if I needed a computer and I was on a tight budget, I'd buy a cheap laptop, because it does everything you need and for the money the cons are tolerable, but I'm not on a budget, so I want something optimised for the use case I have in mind

>>10778849

>>10779479
Almost all modern laptops are x86 you retard, do you just think of the first contrarian thing to say then stop reading as soon as you've got it? The only good thing about the M1 is that its arm, if there were any ARM Linux laptops available (pinebook pro isn't available) I'd buy one immediately

>>10778113
>I don't get something from the spreadsheet. DS emulation is below N64, but isn't the former more demanding than the latter?
DS is a more powerful system in many respects than the N64 but it has a much more conventional architecture than the N64, which makes it easier to emulate and thus you need a less powerful device to do so(like most handhelds capable of full speed PS1 emulation could probably handle DS emulation no problem, the actual limiting factor is the lack of a touchscreen on most non-Android emulation handhelds meaning you'd have to use weird workarounds on any games that make extensive use of the touchscreen)

What? Nah. Both machines can do 3D graphics, but the N64 is a BEAST at 3d rendering compared to both the GBA, and DS systems. DS line is more in the middle.

It doesn't seem like much of an improvement over the EZ Flash V and VI they released 15 years ago. Still good to have though, like >>10779010 said all of EZ-flash's competitors in the premium DS flashcart scene are gone now so it's nice to have something new available without worrying about bad quality clones

How much does that piece of shit weigh, anyways? I was going to joke about how the 8" screen already made it unviable as a handheld, but I bet the weight is almost as bad.

>>10779640
Get a bigger sd card you sissy

>>10779713
It's basically just proofs of concept. The entire pico 8 movement is making things that give off the idea of games rather than actually being games. The perfect hipster "console."

>>10779775
I have a 512gb one right now. At first, I thought 128gb would've been enough. But PSX and PCE-CD took up over half of that, so I had to bump it up. Nevertheless, I'd rather not take up needless amounts of space.

Dumb question but do the Android handhelds have touch screens as well as buttons? Is their UI the same sort of Android as is used on phones or a proprietary build?
My ancient handheld, an old LG Enact phone, got wet and the buttons are wonky now so if I can't find a way to repair it, I'll have to get a new handheld. I hate new things.

How is the Emulation Station experience on android compared to Daijisho? More importantly, does it feature menu music?

>>10779817
My RP2S, RG405M, and RP4P all have touch screens and regular android in them. Look up whatever device you're interested in because each will be running a different version of android to suit whatever chip it has or something. You can even link your google account so you have all your apps, I don't want google running in the background though so I never have it installed.

>>10779561
You can just stream them from your PC with Kodi, ArkOS has it.

>>10779619
Retroid, please beat them to the punch.

>>10779817
>Dumb question but do the Android handhelds have touch screens as well as buttons?
Yeah.

>Is their UI the same sort of Android as is used on phones or a proprietary build?
Stock, though you can use frontends to make them better they get weird sometimes. For example, my RP2S has the best build out of the 3 Android chinkhelds I own, with nifty shit like a setup wizard, button combo virtual mouse that keeps you from using touch screen and easy disabling of Play Services for performance, but for whatever reason its power off menu doesn't accept controller inputs. The X28 (critically defective, don't buy), on the other hand, is incredibly bare AOSP deal and the thing is literally named "Game devies" internally, but it does accept controller inputs on the power off menu. Finally, 353V has the worst controller support where a lot of android menus simply don't accept button presses.

i'm so cool with that, rp2s with the rgb30 screen and i'm beyond good

the rgb30 proposition seems so good i've fully looked into replacing the dpad and sticks and shit but then i realized i was on the cusp of sunk cost fallacy before even pulling the initial trigger if i go that route

Does this fag cumming over the rgb30 screen even know about the Normalize4x filter? I use that + a dot matrix overlay and GBA looks amazing on my RP2S.

>>10779909
Filters make you put on a dress

>>10779909
Huh? Shaders and filters look best with higher resolution, plus the display itself has better colors. Think about it, why would anyone be making a big deal out of a powkiddy $60 brick?

Why are the chinks unable to make a handheld that doesn't make your hand cramp up in 10 minutes with all the modern resources of 2024 and a wealth of tried and tested handheld consoles, while Nintendo was able to do this in the 1980s.

>>10780271
Neither vertislops nor pocketables are conducive to comfortable ergonomics. It's a compromise one way or the other.

>>10780271
What >>10780280 said. If you want ergonomics, you have to settle for bag-sized portable. Smallest one with nice ergos is probably the RG556.

>>10780271
I did some digging recently and learned that it wasn't the handheld that was making my hands cramp up, it was the fact that my ulnar nerve was getting pinched from laying in bed with my elbows bent while I held the handheld up to my face. I changed to either sitting upright or laying on my side and my hands stopped cramping and going numb.

>>10780328
Three decades of playing portables lying in bed completely fucking ruined that nerve for me. Now I can't put my elbow anywhere or I instantly feel my pinky finger go numb. I touch the elbow part where the nerve bends and it feels like a hose goes through there.
Moral of the story, be careful with your bodies guys.
I really wish someone had told me, and I wonder what new injuries kids will have thanks to smartphones and tables.

>>10780902
Use bubble creator. Fixed that for me. Mind you, I use an older version of adrenaline in the first place out of laziness and homebrew updates scare me. Also, downclock the cpu In the bubble thang until you’re still full speed. Get better battery that way

>>10780913
>he doesn't know
it's 3 frames WITH using the native epsp/ARK. Adrenaline adds a further 0.5 frames, and up to 2 with some filters.
Adrenaline completes fucks the framepacing in a lot of games too, especially PS1.

>>10780927
>>10780913
on actual psp you can underclock as low as 222mhz on 'most' games if you select very specific 6.0 firmware version for popsloader. and that's one of the biggest advantages psp has over vita that people keep asking about. in vita i dont think you can change adrenaline firmware version as easily

>>10780047
X11 isnt really updated anymore.

Piss or burn in, which way white man?

>>10780943
though i believe sony didnt mean you to underclock to 222mhz as it causes vsync issues on ps1 games. in fact the whole schizo theory is that 333mhz mode was intended as 'later feature' specifically catered towards ps1 and pc engine emulators while psp meant to be optimized for 222mhz
and yes there is native pc engine emulator, and yes you can inject english patched games into it, but process is very annoying

Well gee, all the ones I'm finding are huge. This is exactly why I didn't want a new 5g phone and stuck with my Enact as long as I did (from its launch up until 4g's sunset).
These new phones don't even fit into pockets anymore and these handhelds don't look like they do, either. How am i going to discreetly play vidya while my students do whatever with these gigantic fuckers?

>These speakers really don't handle higher-end audio well at all
As an enjoyer of music who doesn't care for /mu/, maybe you can help rather than me having to ask there: what devices have you come across that actually have decent sound quality? The missus and I play mumanddadmusic while doing shit around the house, much to my six-year-old's chagrin*, and used to use a shitty $10 Bluetooth speaker to do so until free discovered that as cell phone placed into the tiny crack on the gasket between the freezer door and body somehow have the phone surprisingly good quality sound but not knowing shit about speakers, I worry that it might eventually blow them out and is be stuck with a silent phone

>* if he had his way, my son would just play the Hilda theme song on a loop all day.

I'm looking for a handheld under ~80-90$ (including shipping and EU taxes, fucking retroid) that can play 3d psx games (and Code Veronica on the Dreamcast, been meaning to play this game for a while) , but most importantly I want to be able to use the analog sticks without having my (medium sized) hands cramp after 20 minutes. I bought a R36S and it was so uncomfortable for long sessions that I returned it, so I'm guessing a horizontal handheld would be better, also Wifi would be really cool.
I was considering getting the RG35XX H during the upcoming sale, but I've heard the analog sticks only really register 8 directions ( as seen in https://youtu.be/hcKELSS6B88?si=iUTjoNe60eM6IR9V&t=171 ), and it likely won't be fixed unless Anbernic makes their OS open source.

What are my options ? I could get the RGB30 on Gogamegeek for 90 dollars, but I have no idea how comfortable it is.

TLDR: looking for a 80$, horizontal handheld, can play PSX, has analog sticks that are comfortable to use.

>>10781067
>and these handhelds don't look like they do, either
Check retrosizer.

>>10781115
RGB30 is no good for Dreamcast. Might have to pony up for Retroid, do you get taxes on Ali too? I got my 2S for retail-ish price there back on launch.

>>10781139

Honestly when it comes to dreamcast, I just want to play code veronica, if it cant handle it, that's fine, I'll just do it on my pc.

> I got my 2S for retail-ish price there back on launch.
Doesn't look like it's the case anymore, I found them for about the same amount as what I would pay with shipping and taxes.

That really helped a lot since I have no intelligence for visualising sizes. Looks like the Retroid Pocket Flip is pretty much what I'm looking for.
>>10781115
While pursuing a replacement for my Enact, I found someone selling a used one for $40. I can tell you confidently that it perfectly emulates everything up to PS1 as well as GBA, excepting a few cart games that use special chips. However, idk if it handles Dreamcast in general never mind Code Veronica specifically.
But again, this is an old-ass mobile phone and not a machine designed specifically for retro emulation. It has a physical qwerty keyboard that I mapped various controls to.

>>10781149
>Honestly when it comes to dreamcast, I just want to play code veronica
In that case I'd go with RGB30 then, though $90 for it feels like robbery too.

>>10781214
>Flip has a notoriously bad hinge.
I'm not a flop fan, but as far as I'm aware, that actually got fixed last year. Granted, he can't buy new anymore from Retroid, so I suppose it's a gamble on whether or not he'll get one of the newer ones with the fixed hinge.

On R36S using Retroarch, is there a way to make setting changes apply to every game using that console/core?
I want to use FN+L2 and R2 to save/load states, and FN+R3 to fast forward, but I'm having to set that up for every game I play

>Flip has a notoriously bad hinge
And that's the thing that worried me and I'm glad someone said something. Thank you.
My DS lite had fucked hinges, too, and set me against hinged things in general and why I got a faggot Moto phone rather than AstroSlide5G phone, despite AS5G having a physical qwerty like my Enact. The Enact slides out and since I've had it from 2013 up to the recent water fiasco, sliding is clearly superior to flipping.
I would have gotten an F(x)Tec Pro1 phone (another, newer QWERTY slider) had the company not made the short-sided decision to make a 4G device so close to 4G ending.
The AS5G technically slides out, too, but it's also hinged for tilting the screen and that hinge looks weak.

>>10781594
Depends what you wanna play. For square-shaped content (GBC/8:7 NES or SNES/NGPC/PCECD), as well as GBA thanks to a perfect x3 integer scale, the RGB30 is better. For 4:3 stuff like Sega consoles (MS/Genesis) or early 3D consoles like the PS1 or Dreamcast, the Flip will probably be better. Though I wouldn't recommend stick-dependent games for either of them; the RGB30's sticks aren't that good, and the flip just has bad stick placement in general.

Honest question, now that we’re all old fucks with the money to burn on a decent entertainment room setup, what’s the point of handhelds? Do you like using shitty speakers or headphones and tiny, washed out screens? Handheld emulation was something I loved as a teenager but the only time I don’t use my OLED TV and floor speakers is for DS or 3DS games for obvious reasons

>what’s the point of handhelds?
I play games in the bath & while playing MMO's and multiplayer games that have some sort of queueing or waiting involved. If I still went to see my GP regularly instead of phone appointments then I'd carry it along with me, I still use it every now and then when I get a bus too.

but most importantly I've tried a few different types of bathtime gaming, I've taken an older TV in there I don't have a use for and plopped it on the shitter, was okay but too big and heavy for regular use.
I've tried monitors and a laptop, laptop was underpowered for gaming natively, streaming was shit without ethernet. Monitor's alright but ultimately I still need/have to take a keyboard/mouse in and there's downtime in taking it, the cables/power supply out the bathroom. If you've got a small bathroom, it's kinda shit to have electronics kicking around.
A handheld's a better middle ground, carry it in, continue, take it with you when you leave.
Other funtime bath activities you can try: reading a book, taking a 10+ year old bluetooth speaker powered by AA batteries in and listening to podcasts or music.

>now that we’re all old fucks
> Do you like using shitty speakers or headphones and tiny, washed out screens?
I am indeed an old fuck, my eyesight sucks and so I'm looking for screens in the comfy 4-6" range, that's alright at arms length and I can use reading glasses. The DSI XL taught me that and screens are getting better since they're all surplus/cheap parts anyway.
Speakers are a PITA but that's handhelds for you. I like headphones a bit but cabling in the bath's a pain, only really use 'em if I wanna slow trickle the hot water in for a while or blast it.
>I don’t use my OLED TV and floor speakers is for DS or 3DS games for obvious reasons
What obvious reasons?

>>10781709
I just want something comfy to play in bed and on the sofa.

I don't have a TV, just a desktop computer.

>>10781709
I'm not an old fuck and don't have money to burn, but I do have a TV and a gaming pc. Handheld gaming isn't about portability, it's about posture. You can sprawl out in bed with a handheld, or sit on the couch, or go to the park or whatever. You can also play games immediately right when you pick it up, without having to boot your pc or turn on a controller or change a TV input.
It turns gaming from something you do in a dedicated space that takes a second to start up into something you can do in any position anywhere in your house.
My rate of actually finishing retro games skyrocketed when handhelds made playing them that much smoother.
