You guys don't understand how big the Virtual Boy was for the homebrew scene... There would be no PSP scene if not for programmers that made their start on Virtual Boy.

>>10799403
atari 2600 was bigger. and it was actually free as in freedom. so no hacking involved

Finally done with the worst shine, only took about ten tries (for me that's good)

>>10799398
This upsets me too. I want one button to be save state and then the same button with a modifier to be load state.

Is Emulation Station actually worth it? It comes out to about $8 over here, which isn't a lot but is it actually that much better than Daijisho?

>paying to pirate

Becoming a chinkheld collector is a very grim fate. If something werks then it werks.

I really wanted to get an analogue pocket but pivoted last minute and got a steam deck instead.

Honestly don't regret the decision, but it's kind of ironic that the pocket has a much higher res screen.

>>10799424

seems like a perfect fit between a small vertislop and a steamdeckb

Honestly I’m happy with my chinkheld, I play a lot of classic games, is the perfect format to play. It didn’t radically change my life but made my anxiety more tolerable. If you are on the verge of acquiring one, don’t hesitate, buy one with good ergonomics and screen. In five years the quality and power of these devices and the improvement to the software will make them a must buy, but it’s more than enough now specially for the price.

>>10799670
very much feels that way. its at a perfect size where even another half inch in any direction would make it unpocketable. Its honestly been blowing my mind how good it is at GameCube for the size

I know it's not the best PS2/GameCube player on the market right now, but until someone makes a pocketable one, I can't think of any actual competition for it.

Are there any emulators that have a activity log capability as detailed as what the 3ds had? I want to be able to see how much I played which games on what day.

>>10799773
I should note it can mean either hardware portable emulators or software emulators on handheld platforms

>>10799773
Yeah just launch everything through Steam.

>>10800168
You didn't stretch the 2D elements, nor did you start with a low-resolution source.
If anything picrel is more accurate.

>>10800229
Crazy people on ebay.

>>10800178
I did stretch the elements, I just kept the aspect ratio the same, just like the 3DS

I did start with a low resolution source, I did not integer scale (which would be cheating for this example), I went from 714x136 to 1200x229

The 3DS is not changing the aspect ratio, and scaling algorithms have come a long way and can now keep sharp pixels even with weird non-integer scaling.

Sorry bub, you're retarded :)

the widescreen patches don't stretch the image for 3D games, they literally increase the resolution that is rendered

>>10800314
Are you sure? That photo of it running on a real 3DS looks pretty bad.
If you prefer your game looking like that, you might be a drooling fucking retard.

>>10800317
I think you're severely over-estimating how good pokemon b+w looped on original hardware.

No, I don't think I am. Yes it looked like dogshit, like pretty much every DS game, but it at least had even square pixels.

>>10800354
>Yes it looked like dogshit, like pretty much every DS game
No shit, the question is whether it looks much worse with the new sharp scaling, and it doesn't look worse, it looks as bad as it did on OG hardware.

>>10800374

And it does.

I think you're such an ignorant autist that you literally don't realize I'm talking about a relatively new scaling option using a twilight menu patch, and all you can do is regurgitate a hivemind opinion "3ds makes ds games look bad" like a terminally online plebbitor

>>10800404
I think you're such an ignorant autist that you literally don't realize I'm talking about playing games on original hardware instead of scaling to 1.25x and applying a blurry (at best) cope filter to it.

Some games are streched, osme are acutal widescreen there. Now new argument. What's up with all those fucking famiclones chinkhelds? I remember this shit from like 2003. Its time the chinks put them to redt and do super famiclone or gbaclones

Portmaster confirmed for the tsp.

MM+ is nice but I feel like I want to get a horizontal handheld. I saw a bunch of people recommending Pocket 2S. Is comfortable to play on? My main problem with MM+ is that bumpers and triggers are awfully positioned. I also wouldn't mind having access to more powerful systems. Another thing I'm considering is RG35XX H because of Russ. Bumpers look fine but triggers probably suck on it too but it can't even play systems that would use them. And I already have deck but I play non-/vr/ games on it.

>>10800404
bro reddit loves the 3ds what are you talking about

>>10800426
idk man, there is a patch for a sharper filter on the 3ds along with widescreen that actually works for 3D games and analog support patches

Why are you sperging out about it?

>>10800429

>>10800437
No but I can tell you're the same faggot as before

>>10800423
I have the RG35XX H and I like it. CFW is at the point where N64 emulation is fine but Dreamcast is still shotty on it. I almost never use mine for games that use the sticks. I thought I would mind the horizontal placement of the L1/L2 and R1/R2 buttons but I got used to it pretty quickly.

The Pocket 2S is a bit more powerful and uses android emulation. It does run Dreamcast and N64 perfectly from what I've seen.

Get the 2s if you don't mind android, want DC games, and don't mind spending a bit more. Get the XX H if you want a pocketable horizontal for 2d and PSX games.

>>10800442

Excellent price, but I'm interested in a smaller and lighter handheld PC at this point.

Holy shit, nice price. If they don't fuck this up, it really can become the Steam Deck Mini.

>>10800560
>deck mini
Pretty sure that's still a 7" screen, meaning it's still fucking big. Not saying it's not a great price, but at least when I dream of a Deck Mini, it's something with a 5.5" - 6" screen and retains d-pad top.

>>10800573
It measures at 259mm, that's almost the same size as the Loki and 40mm shorter than the Deck.

I'm watching some old retro game corps reviews and I swear Russ didn't talk with that annoying faggotry nasally sound much back then. Almost feels like he's really emphasizing it in his new videos for some reason.

I'm getting the urge to just settle for something on the market for my ps2/gc needs. I haven't bought a retroid 4 because I think the screens a tad to small and the new anbernic seems perfect screen size and more comfortable to hold but it seems too weak. I think I'll settle for the retroid and maybe someday get something to replace it if a device seems worthy of it.

>>10800692
556 can play PS2 and GC just fine if you don't care about meme upscale to 2x. Neither of them can play the entire libraries anyways (you need an Odin 2 or actual umpc like the Deck for that) so personally I recommend just getting a 556 and cope until something else comes out.

>>10800709
I might consider getting a 556. I already own two anbernig devices, why not a third. I haven't ruled out getting an odin pro either which is on sale right now

>>10800724
Odin Pro isn't worth it these days tbqh familia.

>>10800709
>556 can play PS2 and GC just fine if you don't care about meme upscale to 2x. Neither of them can play the entire libraries anyways
nah m8, RP4P definitely closes the gap on PS2 better than my 556. RP4P is like 98 - 99% of the library at fullspeed no dips at 1x or above vs probably around 90% on my RG556 fullspeed no dips at 1x or above. GCN is relatively easy though yeah, only difference for the most part is degree of upscaling.

>>10800727
Well I think that's what I'm getting chico

>>10800728
>RP4P definitely closes the gap on PS2 better
Never said otherwise. I'm just saying 556 can cover the entire library as well for the average person so it really comes down to whether you really need that upscale. It's kind of ironic though since RP4P's screen is dogshit so the upscale isn't that much better whereas the 556 actually has a beautiful OLED but can typically only do 1.5x.

>>10800739
>556 can cover the entire library as well for the average person
EEEEHHHHHHH alright, fine, I suppose it's a matter of opinion as to what an average person in this space might play. I can't personally agree with that, though. To me, that nearly 10% difference of the library is significant. I think most people will run into at least one PS2 game that doesn't play fullspeed on the 556 with any settings, but does on the RP4P. I've already found Onimusha 3 and Nightshade can't on my RG556, and Xenosaga EP 1 is mostly okay but still has moments where it is CPU bottlenecked and no settings can help it. I don't think these are all that niche, at least in the context of "kind of guy that emulates PS2 games on chinkhelds".

Fairly certain episodes 2 and 3 of Xenosaga will be outright unplayable on this as well, but to be fair I don't even know if those will run without any dips on the RP4P either.

>>10800692
You should check the RG556 compatability sheet for the games you specifically want to play. Who cares if Rouge Squadron II doesn't run at full speed if you're not even going to play it?

>>10800758
>Onimusha 3
Runs fine at 1x though?
https://youtu.be/5rBw7KcCF6I?t=4526

Haven't played Xenosaga games and have no intention to, but I'd imagine the 556 can run them at 1x easily. Maybe try setting an underclock and turn off hardware cache.

>>10800765
It plays well for the super short duration he played. Literally just a minute or two later when you get to Nobunaga up in the Castle it already starts shitting the bed. Also as you probably noticed, he never got that cutscene (not the CG one that plays right after, the in-engine one) to play anywhere close to fullspeed. That's how it is for the entire game, and you can't even just skip them and then watch them later on jewtube or something. They're all just slow as shit and you have to wait through them.

As for Xenosaga EP 1, like I said it's mostly fine, but there are certain segments where none of the underclocks help. I do keep hardware cache off fwiw. Episodes 2 and 3 are dramatically more demanding from my memory of older Odin vids. I hope they run well, but I'm expecting that I'll have to bust out the Steam Deck instead.

>>10800780
I'm still doubtful that you can't get Onimusha working with some hardware tweaks. People were really quick to dismiss the 556 as struggling hard with PS2/GC, but we know now it runs most games fine for the most part. I won't argue further as I have no intention of playing these games though, but I do wonder if you can get it running fine with some tweaks in the settings like I mentioned earlier.

*hinge breaks*

Fucking 556 is the only poor fag option for a decent oled isn't it?

>>10800794
Trust me anon, I've tried everything. It's just not happening for Oni 3. Even tried bouncing around Nethersx2 1.5 classic, Nethersx2 1.8 Alpha, Aether 1.4, etc. I understand retards like the Retro Handhelds guy ran everything without Vulkan initially and made people think this thing was a lot less capable than it is. I was in here laughing at him too because I already know what a chip around the level of D900 is generally capable of. That's not me though, I know what settings to configure. As great as the hardware is in general, there's just a hard stop for some of these PS2 games like Onimusha 3.

>>10800798
Pretty sure it's the only OLED under $200 period unless you like the shitty outdated Vita screen.

>>10800809
Any idea how well it handles the lord of the rings hack n wide-screen? Can I play most of gc library in widescreen?

>>10800809
I turned on one of my Vita 1ks the other day and was surprised to find it's still pretty good. Certainly not shitty, in fact it's better than a majority of handheld screens I've used recently. Compared to the RG556 OLED in particular though, yeah... Compared to that it's shitty, kek.

>Some people (not me) have good eyes, so it'd probably be awesome for them.
It wouldn't. Having good eyes won't change the AOV, holding it closer to their face will but they'll be forced to focus on an object less than 30cm compared to using a larger screen they can use at arms length.
Needing to hold the device less than 30 centimetres means they are ergonomically locked into playing the dev with their hands held up to their face, their elbows bent and their shoulders likely spread.
Unless they autism themselves a ghetto solution where the screen hangs in front of their face using a helmet with an arm or some kind of external tablet stand with a wired & / bluetooth device used for input, they're not having a more awesome experience.

Good eyes just mean that something is in focus. Having bad eyes does not mean an item appears smaller. Eyes are not functioning in the same way as a magnifying glass, reading glasses or a lens would. You don't zoom your eyes. People with good eyes aren't cartoon characters.

After playing with me RP4P for a few days, feel safe in calling it my new main handheld. Gonna sell off my 2S, can't see myself needing it anymore now.

Think $100 for a 4GB 2S with the box and the grip is a fair price?

>>10801590
How does the RP4 feel compared to the 2S in terms of pocketability?

>>10801543
I'm still baffled that chuds ate this up like faggots at an ass bodega. And they try and defend it with the most fragile cope pooted from their loose anuses. Like this big of a design flaw can be hand waved away by a frantic

>>10801591
It's a little bigger so obviously not AS pocketable, but if you can have a phone with a chunky case in your pocket you'll probably be fine.

Here's a comparison with my DSi XL for scale

>>10801604
>Counter argument has devolved into complete Nonsensical schizoid posting

Used that new Parallel DS Flashcart.

Latest Version supports Black/White 2 out of the box no more need to AP fix via cheat/patch. Also it supports My Pokemon Ranch and Battle Revolution. Something those other R4's can't do so pretty much worth it.

What settings should I be messing with to improve performance in Rogue Galaxy in the RP4 Pro? I'm using the latest version of Nethers.

>>10801710
Are you on Vulkan?

>>10801713

Yeah, I also set the internal resolution to x1.75. Those are the only two settings I messed with.

>>10801762
You tried 1x? If that doesn't help it's probably just a bit much for the RP4P.

>>10801710
Vulkan, 1.25x res.

Hardware download mode needs to be set to Unsync and use -2 underclock and -3 cycle skip. Async Audio turned on to improve audio stutter/quality when theres the occasional slowdown.

NTA, but "the most fragile cope pooted from their loose anuses" literally proves him correct. Congratulations on winning the "most baitable of the thread" award.

I started off with an R36S found out it was super uncomfy, picked up a trimui smart pro and finally got an RGB30 a few days ago and today I got a little grip for the 30.
The trim is the best option for widescreen stuff and did alright with 4:3 due to its size but the RGB30 with IS OS on/off coming in at a comfy 3.8 > 4" really is cosy buut it was a little cramped, I didn't expect it to win me over.
Ergonomically the trim was winning the war, it felt better in the hands for longer sessions and while I don't think it needs a grip I know from experience a vita style grip done right could make it very cosy for long sessions. The RGB30 was bigger than I expected and being horizontal helped but it is just a block and to hold it right for the face buttons my fingers would be too close at the rear turning into a more clawlike grip, it only really felt right if I was holding it dual analog style but ehhh.

So I was kinda skeptical about the grip, I've used them previously on 3DS XL, N3DS and N3DS XL and they fixed the issues kiinda, worked best for the lil fella and was iffy on the others.
Turns out my skepticism was wrong and with a grip it brings it to Vita/Trim Smart size/ergos, a bit taller but hey more room for your fingers at the back and my index fingers sit better on the triggers. Middle fingers can barely meet in the centre when straightened and so it works.

In the end the RGB30 really did turn out well with a grip. It and the Trim are gonna stick around in use although idk if I can keep up with JelOS since it's a piece of shit, If I can get ST on ArkOS without suspend issues it'll be a win.
-And as for the R36S.I think the R36S is kinda cool, I love the battery compartment and acces and maybe it could be fixed by a grip too but I'm not sure it's worth the investment. I'll probably sell it off locally or whatever in a bit after the sales end. Vertislop still looks good, but man they really gotta get the ergos right.

>and maybe it could be fixed by a grip too but I'm not sure it's worth the investment
I don't know where you live but if you're in the US it's very likely your local library has a 3D printer and it's dirt cheap to print stuff in my experience, at least in my local area. You can find files for a grip just by Googling "R36S grip 3D print" and I doubt it'll cost more than $5 or so in resin from your library to make one. At worst you're out $5. Printing shops nowadays also tend to have a 3D printer they'll let you use. As long as you're not selling the things on Etsy no one cares.

Anyone have experience using these with Analogue Pocket? I'm thinking I will have to pry or clip the feet off since it doesn't have the clip joints. I've seen video of someone using the pocket as a gameboy player for GCN/Wii using a 3rd party cable, so I know it can work, just not sure about the hardware.

>>10803661
>working sleep function

>>10803713
The ones with the scanlines? I just need an LCD grid shader for GBA to remove the pixel wobble

>>10803723
Linux "sleep" works great when it's just turning the device off with an auto save state that auto loads when you turn it back on

Any RGB30bros here try playing GBA with the screen up top? I kinda prefer it ergonomics-wise, and the bottom bezel has one giant clean image, instead of being forced to split it in half for the top and the bottom.

>>10803759
Or... screen on the bottom, I guess. Fucking mobileposts.

>>10803730
Try using Normal4X in video settings, it's not quite pixel perfect but it really reduces the shimmer a lot

>>10803730
>The ones with the scanlines? I just need an LCD grid shader for GBA to remove the pixel wobble
You can make one for yourself as an overlay in photoshop and if you're still worried you can run sharp shimmerless underneath for realtively little cost.

>>10803723
I do a weird one at home, It's an overlay for SNES, 4:3 content and I'll sometimes change it per game (FFV's overscan being an example). I got memed into a 55" 4k TV for my bedroom (4k displays have less size variance on the TV front than 1080p & 720p sets did so there's a huge gap between 32", 43 and 50-55") and it's 1.85 to 2m away which is way too fucking big for some things.
Talking 44.94" for 4:3 content and around 41" for 8:7. So I calculate the dimensions for a 28>32" viewport in the display that the game needs to run in RA, then shift it down to the bottom left where it's most comfy and apply an overlay as a bezel and to do simple scanlines or a dot grid overlay.

>>10803760
Whats wrong with it?

I just got my miyoo mini but I can't save emulator settings like changing a filter or rebinding keys. It just keeps resetting back to default settings when closing and opening a new game.

>>10803873
idk about miyoo but if it's using RA as a frontend you wanna either open RA on it's own and change the config to save after quitting or use overrides.
If you can't launch RA on its own, open the menu, change the setting, close content, close RA, load up again, change settings etc and see.

What the fuck is this Twilight Menu shit even for? For all these people that wanna play crappy GBA emulation where half of the ROMhacks just don't work? Why not just buy a chinkheld for that shit instead of copying with decade-old hardware?

All I want to do is play DS games, on two big screens, and skip all of that OS shit and go straight to the R4 card on boot like you can on the screenlet DS Lite. How is that so hard?

>>10804000
>For all these people that wanna play crappy GBA emulation where half of the ROMhacks just don't work?
YES
>All I want to do is play DS games, on two big screenS
>Why not just buy a chinkheld for that shit
Consider for a moment that GBA is 3.8 integer scaled on a DSi XL and would be 4" if stretched.
That's already bigger than the cheap chinkhelds with 3.5" screens. It's 5" on a device like the ol' RG552 and just baaarely the same size as integer scaled on a RG405M or a 4" 4:3 screen.
They're just doing what you're trying to do and they don't even need a shader or overlay for those big chonky pixels!

I never modded my DSi XL, Always used a flashcart and was content but I get the autism over not having autoboot.

>>10803661
Tomato OS.

>>10804014
As someone who's played GBA on a 3.5" handheld, and a 4.7" handheld (which displays GBA as big as a DSI XL), those 0.3 inches of screen space aren't worth having worse GBA emulation than the fucking datafrog

>>10804036
I actually agree, the 3ds being shit was what pushed me into giving retro handhelds another chance. I think size does matter usually but the experience on 3ds was so poor that chinkhelds won out.

People pick up the DSi XL for GBA because it's recommended.
You have retards who say you don't need more than a PSP, DS, 3DS etc.
It's first party.
It has good buttons.
You may already own one.
They're cheap and you might think you're less likely to get chinked buying one.
There's replacement parts that are easily sourced.
You can see how it'd be appealing. So long as the games they want to play run, they're content, same with using a 3DS for DS desu.

The DSi XL is still nice at least because those big beautiful screens, the 3ds screens pack more PPI but look like liquid garbage.
The weirdos cutting them in half just to play GBA are insane.
Playing the Ace Attorney games of FF III, IV or 4HoL or your favourite DS game on a DSi XL is an experience that's hard to beat.

>>10803612
>I've learned not to sell the handhelds I do buy
Unless you're filling out a shelf to impress kind strangers on reddit, there's no sense in having more than 2, maybe 3 devices.

>>10800158
Is this the best controller for vertical phone setups?

>>10804071
I think if you already have one of these kinds of systems, it's valid to say "it's good enough for my needs". But it's dumb to go out of your way to buy one for the sake of being your pocket emu.

DSi can't really go beyond NES and GB before it struggles, the PSP can do SNES at the cost of heavy audio bugs and PS1 at the cost of no L2/R2, and while 3DS is great if you're only interested in the Nintendo handheld library, even official SNES releases on that thing struggle to run at 100% sometimes. Pic related would get it chugging for me at times.

The truth of the matter is, these handhelds are all old and used, and while it's true you risk getting "chinked", I think you're equally at risk of just getting old, worn-out hardware going the first-party route. At least if you go through reputable means to find a modern retro handheld, you can trust that what you're getting is fairly new, and you'll have some level of customer support.

>>10804095
>PSP
wonder if pic related works on psp. i know you can speedhack that shit with fast sprites which would make it run

will I lower my phone's lifetime by emulating ps2 and gamecube frequently?
honestly seems like the only reason not to just do that instead of getting a handheld

>>10804173
Kinda? Depends. If you're the type of person willing to use a phone then you're likely a consoomer who upgrades frequently.

The battery's your biggest problem, lithium batteries don't react to abuse well but you'll have the same type of battery in a dedicated handheld too. People treat their batteries like shit and there's a lot of misinformation out there.
You can mitigate it by not charging to 100% & overcharging. Avoid discharging below 30% and never let it run empty.
Ideally you want to be charging between 30% > 80%. Fast charging's better than slow charging in this case and you don't want the battery to get too warm while charging; a ventilated surface works well.
Alternatively you can also replace it once its capacity drops and batteries for your mass produced consoomer phone should be easy to find and repair shops will do the deed even if you're a butterfingers or disabled.

>>10804095
Speaking of the Mother games, just finished my Mother 3 replay. I beat it on real hardware around eight years ago and felt it was due for another go since I got the Retroid. Fuck me, that's a good game.

If your phone's big enough to fit the hello gamesirs x2 bluetooth without an adapter, I'd use that
But the ipega is okay, the dpad is just ass. Daqi also made a new controller, but the dpad is separate buttons and no one knows how to swap the controls to xinput.

>3.5" screens are too small
What the fuck is this meme, are people's eyes really this bad? Once I tried to set Playstation to 1x integer and was surprised how readably sharp it looked in it's tiny 320x240 rez at 40cm distance.

>>10804476
>are people's eyes really this bad?
mine are yeah. I really do love the RP2S, I'm just too defective to play it now.

>>10804476
Playing on a large screen is just better. It's not about having bad eyesight or anything. The only reason every handheld doesn't have a massive screen is portability.

>t. gameboy micro enjoyer

Lost my n3ds. Not sure how but I just can't find it. Guess I'll have to use my phone now (or psp 3000 but it really doesn't handle emulation well sorry psp Chads) what are the opinions on dedicated phone controllers vs clips? I want it to be easy to throw in a backpack and a dualsense is kinda bulky, but dpad quality is paramount and I've been disappointed by many a dpad.

>>10804665
>dual sense is bulky

Lol

>>10804687
Phone controllers are thin usually and slide in easily (can probably fit in my small sling bag). Full size controllers are tall and the thumb sticks protrude a lot, especially compared to my 3ds it's massively worse for portability.

>>10804665
>dedicated phone controllers
Is your phone usb-c or b?

>>10804763
Usbc. I have a phone made in the last 8 years.

I dug out my SP from when I was a kid and it has a ton of little scratches around the edges of the shell interior. Looks like dirty sticker residue almost. Screen still looks great somehow though.

Other than just coping, I'm guessing my best course of action is just buying a broken advance on ebay and replacing the shell, correct? I'm doubting any customs could perfectly replicate it.

>>10804781
Gamesir g8 on sale or x2-c since you like dpads. Build quality for both are not te best and might or might not damage your phone's type-c port depending on its size.

>>10804782
Personally I think childhood scratches adds soul. If everything functions then I wouldn't bother opening it. You should really change the battery though.

I finally got my DSi LL. The staining around the controls is GNARLY, but screen is a lot less yellow than the one I ordered before this. Especially considering that was an American XL while this one is Japanese, so really, this one has a lot more reason to yellow. The battery's bulging a bit, so I'll probably replace that and I'll be all good. Shame about having no auto-boot option, though. I even went through the whole homebrew process thinking I'd be region locked out of certain games, but apparently they didn't start doing that until the 3DS era, so I can deal with a bit of moonrunes on the start screen until I launch the card.

Fast charging is not better for lithium-ion battery, slow charging is better for battery life and can also help to reduce drop in capacity over time. Also it is not problem if you charge your phone to 100%, you will never overcharge your smartphone battery.

You absolutely can overcharge lithium batteries.
>slow charging
You're conflating lithium batteries with older NIMH & NICAD cells and even NIMH isn't necessarily better in all cases as you can comfortably charge at 0.5 > 1C and 0.1c is only recommended for a forming charge.

People pick up so much wrong bullshit over the years when it comes to batteries, it's unreal.

>>10805951
>>10805930
The only thing I have against wireless charging is that the battery has to be placed against the charging pad so heat is usually trapped. Charging with a cable on a wire rack or face down is better for heat concerns but battery heat through charging is less of a killer than overcharging & discharging.

It's definitely more convenient and it's better in the cases of smart watches.

>>10805951
I never understood the appeal. instead of having to plug your phone into a cable and having it be stuck by an outlet, you set it down on a square that's plugged into a cable and stuck by an outlet. is it really that much more convenient?

>You absolutely can overcharge lithium batteries
I didn't say you couldn't noob, I am talking about lithium batteries in phones
>slow charging
call it what you want, charging at 2 amps is slower than charging at 3, and guess what? Yes, it is better for battery life, i am not conflating lithium batteries with NIMH or NICAD, for those type of batteries you don't need a chip that controls charging, but you do for lithium ones. That chip is inside every modern device that uses lithium batteries, you can overcharge lithium cell yes, but you will not overcharge your phone if you let it sit at 100% on charger.

Only the Pink arm tattoo aids faggot talks like this

>>10806215
Come on. Comparing me to the pink arm vertisloper? I'm the keksneedyoo anti coonsoomer chinklet mucinex poster. The arm tattoo faggot doesnt even have the energy to bark back. Plus he might or might not be joey.

Hot damn, China made my handheld almost. It's just missing the GameBoy/GBC cartridge slot and it's perfect.

>>10806273
you made that?

>>10805415
it depends on the game
i give you example of harvest moon on snes that runs poorly, despite not even being mode 7 game. game slows down to a literal halt no matter what you do when you switching tools, and since you gonna be switching tools constantly in that game, it makes it unplayable.
my guess is that something cpu intensive must have been happening on real console that did that, like in-game world would need to update all the tiles to accommodate for tool usage. likewise the earlier pic of earthbound would have issue of emulating too many sprites at once, as according to people, even real snes crawls to single digit fps during that part. but that can be fixed with fast sprites speedhack

>>10806352
and the funniest part about harvest moon snes on psp is that game is totally playable full speed otherwise, can even be underclocked to 222mhz and still be playable... but that tool switching part what kills it. it's damn shame
people should test performance of chinkhelds on harvest moon snes. disable frameskipping and switch tools to see if game runs full speed. it's a great benchmark game for very odd game behavior that not many snes games even had. but just raw power it provides in benchmarking might be better than typical mode 7 game, because to tell you the truth, a lot of mode 7 games do run on psp with frameskipping help. people exaggerating when saying snes altogether is not playable. it is playable... just a lot of games are not, and you have to fuck with speedhacks sometimes

>>10806318
nvm I found it, it's the 2 Inch V3S Funkeys IPS
searching v3s alone didn't lead me to it

>>10805415
Keep in mind, it's not running snes, it's running an emulator that's running snes.

We kind of take emu for granted so it's easy to forget how complex these kinds of programs are, not only having to translate everything that's happening from a format a SNES can understand to a format another device can understand, but doing so in real time with less than a single frame of waiting time for those translations to happen. It's a hell of an engineering feat that emulators for any console exist and run well.

have you played your pocket today?

>>10806546
I've been having a great time with me Retroid Pocket, yet!

>>10806546
I've been having a great time with my Retroid Pocket, yes!

Any amerifats here wanting to buy a 2S? Upgraded and don't need it anymore, and I could use the spare change.

>>10806546
Can you now add ROMs to this thing and use all the features with them? Screen modes, link cable, IR mode etc? Last I looked into it they were still trying to figure this stuff out.

>>10806596
What did you upgrade to?

How often does aliexpress have sales? I think I want to wait a bit more in case some better handheld comes out.

>>10806641

>>10799424
Was just waiting to see if I was content with the 4 Pro before selling the 2S, and after having it a few days I think I am. I was never much of a collector so I can't see myself keeping game consoles I don't plan on using.

Any GBA experts here?

Found a working GBA thats 32pin for my ITA mod.
However listing states the A button has poor sensitivity which I think is obviously the contacts need a clean or the membrane is on it's way out.

Should I do it? I have IPA and shit.

>>10806780
getting odin how much space should i get doing wii era and under

>>10805858
That's literally just 2DS if both screens were the same size and closer together and if Nintendo used two proper sticks instead of a single slider. Once again a proof that dreams don't actually contain any original ideas that aren't present in your life while awake.

>>10806546
No, because university classes before Easter got cancelled and I only play on my handhelds while away from home.

>>10804000
Why don't you just use the built-in SD card slot instead of an R4? DSi XLs are unreliable with R4s from my experience. It's probably a problem with physical slot dimensions if I had to guess. Cleaning contacts sometimes works in those cases.

>>10806780
If the price is right always pick up original metal imo

all depends on the price.

This is getting xbox level retarded

>>10807159
It's supposed to be the original RG35XX with a new core, that's it, to still make them sellable with the RG35XX + being available. The RG35XX H also doesn't have the better d-pad.

>>10806596
How much for the grip?

>$321 shipped for a black base Odin 2
>have to jump all the way up to $391 shipped if I want one of the cool colors (transparent blue)
>only tech difference is an extra 4gb of ram and 128gb of internal storage
That is some real gay shit. Kinda funny they started doing this right as their Retroid brand stopped charging a $5 premium for transparent colors. Say what you will about the Flop hinge and RP4P dramas, but they always the best color selections by a country mile.

>>10807289

So after using the RG 556 for a few days now I have fucking had it with its shitty joysticks. I ordered the gullikit replacement on amazon. Hopefully this makes it more usable

>>10807346
I told you about Switch sticks bro. Chinese companies need to start adapting to Retroid/Ayn standards.

does anyone have the url to that rg556 setting spreadsheet?

>>10807346
godspeed fellow 556bro, be sure to report back on how it goes.

>>10807159
psp emulated ps1 without sticks since the beginning, you retard

>>10803661
Use MuOS or Batocera. Fuck garlic.

Schizoposter Zu got the "new" 35xx already. He seems really confused by it. https://youtu.be/ljMF4IUfZg0

>>10807468
Because it's such a baffling release from Anbernig and almost 100% just to get rid of all the extra parts they had lying around for the original RG35XX

>>10807473
I'm fine with it so long as they use up all those 3.5" screens.

>>10807316
Come to think it, why hasn't some rando china company made an actual proper clone of this thing? It's not even a case of not want to work with sliders as even anbernic made slider handhelds before.

>>10807352
You're not joking. I got an extra cheapo telescopic controller since the kishi is usb and these sticks are fucking aids.

alright enough chink bootleg handhelds... I finally got a genesis nomad.

even with the screen mod this thing is the closest I have to a CRT--most my retro gaming is via pc emulation or modded handhelds.

one of the surprising things about this device is how fucking soulful the sound is. there's a tone to the sound that reminds me of what TV sounded like in the 90s, very comfy.

any peripheral or other beginner recommendations? either to hook it up to a TV, battery packs, etc. first games to buy etc

>>10807539
I feel the comment about sound in the 90s. It's gotta be some harmonics from the tech or something that isn't replicated on modern shit.

>>10807573
Berry cool, can ANY of the chinks release their fucking clamshell already please

>>10807585
The x19 and d008 will probably release before the miyoo flip at this rate.

My RGB30 came in the mail. Which one do I go for, ArkOS or JelOS?

>>10807626
I prefer ArkOS since you can actually save settings within Retroarch (instead of only some settings). That and the JELOS dev is a faggot.

>>10807645
that's all I need to know

>>10807573
I'm not sure if I care about the upcoming clamshell arms race but I would definitely take the one without sticks

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k8t06EhcV8c
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BD_opdx8Cp0

>>10807445
MuOS I could try installing when I manage to obtain an RG35XX Plus of my own. Either that, or maybe Garlic 2.0, or *fingers crossed* ArkOS head dev either changes his mind on his ceasing of support handheld devices, or passing the torch of leadership to someone else, hopefully one that is not as fussy about handhelds.

So wait for clamshells or buy something now??

>>10807709
How about the Miyoo Flip being made wider by at least 1.25". The delay could be for more than 1 reason...

>>10807739
Never buy on impulse.

>>10807715
I'll give the second video a punt, won't touch the first with someone else's.
>>10807645
Agree on the 2nd but you can save RA settings in Jelos, same with the trim, you just need to toggle a single flag. Hell you have complete freedom in RA since the client is exposed, you want a per game config, you got one bud.

>>10807739
ALWAYS buy on impulse

>>10806596
How cheap do you want to let it go for?

I have genuinely lost all interest in the SP clones at this point, unless they magically release with the New RG35XX's specs.

Them taking over six months on the hinge alone is not reassuring at all. Especially when the Anbernic one looks so flimsy and loose except when it snap-force clicks into closed, 45 degrees, 20 degrees, and all the way back. That shit is gonna grind over time and be flopping about loosely. >>10807587
What I want now are gradually perfected designs until we have the perfect mini vertislop. A shame the GKD Nano was such garbage, basically an improved RG Nano but still shit.

>>10807573
lol The ribbon cable fucking rolls two and a half times within the hinge. For just straight up copying the SP's hinge design they really fucked it up.

>>10807881
>unless they magically release with the New RG35XX's specs
why the hell would you even want that

>>10807909
Why the hell would I and everybody else not want that? Are you fucking stupid?
New RG35XX specs with clamshell and two sticks would be godly, idiot.

I finally got one of these things, and DAMN, I cannot imagine playing this thing with two hands. I never planned on that anyway, since I mainly just wanted to replace my RG35XX as my dedicated "JRPGs while in traffic" gaming device, but still, I didn't think it was gonna be THAT uncomfortable.

best firmware? muOS or batocera? something else? is it true batocera takes like a minute to boot?

>>10807938
It's the same h700 chip as the 35xx+ retard, same tier as the rk3566 that's already confirmed in the Miyoo Flip. I don't know why you're hoping for the already mediocre level of power we're already guaranteed at a minimum.

also why is the smallest tiny best set go romset only like 5gb when they recommend 32gb? i'll probably just cheap out and get a 32gb card slap 5gb romset on there and however many ps1 games can fit

>>10807956
I'll never understand why redditors were shilling the MM so much. Shit looks impossible to grip unless you're literally a child.

>>10808005
While I'm not personally a fan of the MM (too small for my tastes), I think they did a lot of smart moves in terms of appealing to the market

>Cheap (when it came out at least)
>Easily remembered, normal-sounding name (unlike it's peers which were all just numbers and letters)
>Had a singular, flagship item they focused everything onto

It's a lot easier to sell a device called a "Miyoo Mini" than a device called "RG351V"

>>10807968
I use batocera on mine. It does take like 30-50 seconds to boot. It doesn’t bother me personally but it is what it is. I rather like the presentation of it. Haven’t tried muOS so I can’t compare.

N64 emulation is better with batocera compared to stock OS but Dreamcast seems worse in my experience.

Where does one even get a Retroid Flip 2, anyway? I liked through their official website a bit ago and it didn't seem like any were available.

>>10808261
>Retroid Flip 2
Anon...?

>>10808178
shit well the boot time sucks, can it improve or is batocera always like that

>install arkos on my new RGB30
>play a game and turn it off
>RGB now just boots to a black screen

Goddamn, what do I do now.

>>10808268
?

So now that I've jumped down this rabbit hole, I've grabbed a FPGBC kit for physical carts without having to mod a real GBC and I took a look at all my old Gameboys and DSes realizing just how messed up they are in terms of the shell and I was wondering what the way to restoring them would be in terms of shells, screen, etc so that it's like it originally was, no mods.

My Pocket and Color have seen far better days since the screens and the shells have gouges and scratches in them. Are there any shells close to OEM quality or is Nintendium still out of reach? I assume the screen is under the actual plastic cover, right? So another plastic cover would be the only thing I would need to get that sorted out?
My GBA looks like it's been thrown across a football field with how much I dropped it when I was younger and I lost the battery cover like 20 years ago. Do we have anything close to OEM quality or is Nintendium also out of reach? Like with the GBP/GBC, do I have to replace the entire screen or just the thing that goes over it?
Is SP shell replacement still a complete Chinesium crapshoot or have they gotten better? Mine's still fine, just need to replace the charging port, but if I ever need to I assume it's still bad, right?
DS Phat, how's the situation on that? Do the hinges break on the aftermarket stuff or is it still just as bad as the original? Also, I assume rehousing is going to be an absolute chore, isn't it?
DS Lite, same deal. On my original the entire top-right corner covering the power light just snapped off as I was holding it when I was younger so I need a replacement shell. I've done a replacement for a relative (and slightly overtightened the screws causing an imprint in the plastic while also making it so the screen wasn't perfectly seated or something so if you pushed on it it went completely white) but the shell I got like 15 years ago now felt noticeably less quality than the original. Is this still the case?

Is OEM quality just impossible?

>>10807881
>retrostone
now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time

>>10808302
Sometimes you have to press the power button on and off a couple times before it fully wakes up from sleep. Sleep is DEFINITELY one of the biggest flaws with the RGB30, both on JELOS and ARKOS.

>>10808270
It can improve. The OS is in beta and the main dev has stated that it should improve with optimizations. Same with DC emulation. Last I heard dude was trying to get the Bluetooth to work with wireless headphones since it doesn’t by default for some reason.

>>10808346
>just bought a r36s for 30 bucks
bros.......

>>10807956
The GameBoy Pocket/RG35XX/Miyoo Mini Plus is the optimal small size for a pocket vertical handheld, outside of the GBA SP due to its clamshell design. Anything smaller is just a gimmick or novelty, shame you "finally got yours" only to be disappointed but you get what you pay for.

>>10808005
>I'll never understand why redditors were shilling the MM so much.
Tiktok. Literally just because of Tiktok.

>>10808308
There literally is no such thing as a Retroid Flip 2.

>>10808368
It's pretty neat but also one of the lowest build qualities. It's build is not indicitive of the quality most of these handhelds are, as it is meant to be a cheap clone of another chinkheld. But still amazing for its price.

The madmen actually did it
They made an "X9"

>>10808453
yeah i wanted something cheap to dip my toes first and see how can i integrate it into my daily life, if i end up liking it i fully expect to upgrade to something better in the near future

Why do Analogues just post pics of their handhelds like a mom posts pics of their kids on facebook? Like I get it if you're saying "I've been playing X on my Analogue" or "Been tinkering with this on my Analogue", but it's just always just

>I love my Analogue
>Who's playing with their Analogue today?
>(just a pic of their Analogue with no context)

No discussion happening, just letting everyone know that they own one

>>10808661
If the company had any sense they'd track down the poster, destroy their device and give them a cease and desist.
No such thing as bad marketing eh?

>>10808597
I think my main problem with the Odin 2 is that, while the RP4P manages to just barely stay pocket-sized, the Odin 2' too big to be carried without some kind of shoulder bag or backpack, and if you're already having to use a shoulder bag or backpack, you may as well just get a Deck and have significantly more power and compatability. I know the Odin 2's obviously way smaller, but two inches too big and five inches too big are both too big.

>>10808670
It at least slots in quite nice as a 6" device and still compact enough for home use but I get the complaints from the wageslaves.
I wouldn't want to cart a wii u gamepad around either.
