What’s best? I was looking for some shitheld smaller than my retroid 3+ to play 2D stuff SNES/Neo Geo/Megadrive and below. I thought about getting the rg35xx H, but now there’s the 28xx and the mito a30. What’s the best slop for me? Verticals need not apply.

>>10906317
free handhelds aren't free
they're work you have to do
the reason that some reviewers are shit is because they're shit

>>10906317
Even this general is full of shills.

This is a solved issue anyway. The powchaddy rgb30 is probably the best you can get until the clamshells show up.

>>10906350
objectively worse than the TSP in every way

>>10906307
Why did you remove the r36s from the recommended devices section?

>>10906341
H is fine on sale, the dpad and sticks and cfw kinda suck

>>10906367
Batocera is fine, and Knulli's going to be the replacement for it with better performance going forward but that's still a ways away.

>>10906352
because he is based.

>>10906367
>>10906381
Postmaster support?

>>10906409
It's the cheapest great device though. Why remove it?

>>10906352
Because a bunch of faggots here only want to talk about the latest devices and can't cope with the fact that people also enjoy shitty hanhelds
Where is the guy with 4 Famiclones? He's based
If I had to spend more than $200 I'd just get a Steamdeck
>oh nooo that would be a normie thing to do, nooooo

>>10906341
What's wrong with your retroid?

>>10906426
This. I'd rather have fun cheap stuff than waste $100 on some android slop when I have a phone already. Now I realize that the iPhone prevented you from using emulators and that's likely why they can just sell phones with buttons.

It's the MM+ that should be removed now that the rg35xx plus exists.

Why leave this thread up?

>>10906341
2S would be the best, but buying it for $90 when you already have a 3+ seems silly. On the other hand, the cheaper stuff is severely worse on everything but screen. TrimUI for the 4:3 screen real estate, I guess? Though I hear the sticks are bad in case you're one of these freaks who use them for digital input.

>>10906426

Funny he finds time just as there's an uptick in demand.

>>10906410
Muos and I think Bato too has PM
It's currently a limited selection because CFWs are still working on 64bit support (I think the patreon betas might already have it)
I tried Balatro and it ran fine enough, was a little choppy during animations

>>10906429
Nothing, it’s extremely comfy. It’s just that it’s a bit big for something like Gayboy or Gaytendo Entertainment Shitsem.
I’d argue the rp3+ is better than the vast majority of handhelds and perfect for Dreamcast or some ps2 and GC, not to mention PSP.

I'm not sure if it's better.
It has a 5" screen instead of 3,5", but it should be less portable.
Who knows... if I struggle to read text on the RG35XX-H I might get a Trimui too, and then sell the Anbernic to a buddy...

>>10906559
I mean how much bigger is it really

They're real LMAO. Got one from a friend and it's just as awful as it seems

Hey, bro. Heard you wanted to vape while you play...

Comes with the NES version of Pac-Man, some flight game and Tetris. But the screen plays sideways lmao.
Can I install retroarch on this thing?
Also, no. The vape tastes awful, some frutty shit.

I'm going to buy a RG28XX when it goes on sale and use it to play GB, GBC, GBA, NES and SNES games exclusively.
Just letting you know.

First one, it was 56 euros yesterday, it's 59 now and no more black version.

>>10906591
NTA but off the top of my head RG35XX H is a thinner GBA and the TSP is basically a slightly-wider vita2k
>>10906624
This is what I'm gonna do too. Might wait for hardware revision though.

>>10906569
It's pretty much a Vita so it depends if you can fit that in your pocket or not.

>>10906824
I'm sorry you were born 14 millennia too early, anon.

I "upgraded" from Miyoo Mini to an RGB35xx Plus. I mostly did it for the HDMI out so I can stream.

But there are 2 clear downsides.
>When it goes to "sleep" it doesn't actually hibernate, it uses battery
>Because of the above, retroarch may end up not saving right and revert to the previous auto save on startup, which can kill hours of progress (happened in Symphony of The Night, even my battery save reverted)
>Booting feels ike it takes fucking forever, I have to hold the power button for like 5 seconds before it starts
>Installing CFW is a pain in the ass
>Bluetooth doesn't even support audio (??? wtf???)
>Battery always fucking dead because it doesn't hibernate like Miyoo Mini
>WiFi file management doesn't exist

I'm hoping some of these are just things I can fix eventually in settings or CFW. It otherwise seems like it runs better but all in all I fucking prefer my Miyoo Mini.

Throwing OnionOS on it was literally as simple as drop a fucking folder onto the SD card. I feel confident that after a week of not playing, I can turn the system on and it fucking has battery AND just loads me straight into where I was when it shut off, no boot screen or any time wasting bullshit.

Saving always just fucking worked for me, no need to tinker any settings. I feel like the Ambernic UX is way worse compared to Miyoo even if the hardware is better. It's making me wish I never got it because apparently you can stream from Miyoo with screen mirroring or something, but at the same time it's probably have bad frame rate.

Also why the do none of these handhelds have a fucking power switch (physical click move up and down one) and volume wheel for max nostalgia? The volume rocker I can admittedly ignore but come the fuck on with this pushing a soft rubber squishy power button to turn it on. Having that little *click* followed by the Gameboy jingle is part of the experience. Plus utd help me realize when the fuck this shit actually boots up.

>>10906849
I realize I said 2 clear downsides and more kept coming as I typed...

Miyoo just werks. Ambernic is clunky software side.

Why are you guys buying stuff when the flips are right around the corner?

>>10906857

>>10906849
Just wait for Garlic 2.0 bro. Just two more weeks!

>>10906351
>>10906350
They're both good devices with strengths and flaws.
TSP is haram for 4:3 people who hate black bars and cry themselves to sleep over wasted space at night. Devs can't into holdscrolling in menus. TSP has good ergos out of the box and is great for wideboi content as well as having a big screen.
The RGB30 may as well not have a sleep function unless you wanna carry a screwdriver around to do battery pulls when it discharges itself and also has le black bar problem with widescreen content but is at least equal to a 3.5incher at its worst. Its ergos suck out of the box but arkos/jelos can be alright (-sleep) has syncthing, video out and is great for more square formats and 8:7.

Live in the now and get the best of both worlds.

>>10906849
Yes, volume wheel must return.

>>10906857
Flips are vertislop with extra steps

>>10906849
>retroarch may end up not saving right and revert to the previous auto save on startup, which can kill hours of progress (happened in Symphony of The Night, even my battery save reverted)
So it's still an issue but if your device has wifi and syncthing you can configure that for backups saves/states in a directory.
Also there's a setting in RA you can use to prevent the save from overwriting the sram/battery save when a save state is loaded. I learned that the hard way years ago.
Doesn't solve the issue outright but can prevent you losing a save outright.

>>10906979

>>10906980
Best I can offer you is an RPi in a Gameboy shell.

>>10906849
>When it goes to "sleep" it doesn't actually hibernate, it uses battery
I never understand why people want to sleep these things, just fully power them off. Maybe that's cope to you but feels normal to me.
>Booting feels ike it takes fucking forever, I have to hold the power button for like 5 seconds before it starts
Yeah this is true. Clocked my MM+ startup to around 7?8 seconds while the 35XX took around 18 or so.
>WiFi file management doesn't exist
Depends what CFW you're using, I think the stock mod recently added FTP

>>10906990
because just turning it back on and immediately resuming where you left off is objectively superior to powering it back on, going through the entire boot sequence, navigating back to the game you were playing, loading it, then loading your savestate

>>10906857
>right around the corner

>>10906992
This is the ideal, if a cfw can emulate it like minui does with their auto-shutdown+save and resume on reboot that's fine too

>>10906979
Its the same shit.
So long as they model it on the SP with the same width profile it will remain the same, your shoulders don't change because they bolted a screen onto a hinge.

>>10906974
Sp shaped clamshells are pretty much verticlas, but the only comfortable vertical is the rg300. Why anbernig copied miyoo's shoulder buttons for the 35xx will always be a mystrry.

you may not like it, but this is the ideal form factor for a handheld

>>10906857
35xxsp should be this month assuming my baidu/bilibili contact isn't shitposting. Again. X18s v4 cancelled thanks to my retardation and the successor's chip is still unknown

Do the new rg35xx minus have the same chip and os as the old regular 35xx? Or are they in shit cfw limbo too?

>>10906857
It'll be months before they go on sale for a reasonable price, assuming they don't have crippling design flaws anyway. And if the H700 vs RK3566 reports were right, the latter will have a massive lead in software (even if still ultimately fucked).

>>10906909
Not at 3.5" they won't.

>>10906973

>>10907040

>>10906684
Segatards always say this then list like 2 games that aren't Sonic, it's absolute cope.

>>10906849
>even my battery save reverted
There's an option in RA settings to make sure save states don't effect in-game saves

>>10906684
Master System library is kinda shit, not Sega at its best.

>>10906993
Kinda racist

>>10907073
It has the shitty new chip. GarlicOS is dead. Their only finished OS lies on a discontinued device. It’s over.

>>10907092
Not true, later model = better product

>>10906990
>I never understand why people want to sleep these things, just fully power them off.
I do, JELos and arkos take a while to boot, then you're booting up a game and reliant on mostly savestates, it's a time killer if you're picking it up to play.
Your second part feeds right into that anyway.

>>10907096
SegaGODS always list more than 2 games.
>>10907109
Truuuuu. Dreamcast and saturn were always more kino

>>10907124
>always list more than 2 games.
But not ones that aren't Sonic because that's all Sega had back in the day, hence why Shaturn failed according to basically every Segafag.

You guys are purchasing the rights to play these video games on your handheld devices, right? You're not pirating, right?

>>10907117
Better than the original yes, but you may as well pay a few bucks more and get the +

>>10907134
Yes sir.
I travel back in time and mail my cash to developers & publishers directly! I even give them the current day value with inflation tacked on because that's the right thing to do!

>>10906973
Why is it that every video I watch of people trying PSP it's using OpenGL and not vulkan? are these devices running in software mode or some shit?

>>10907134
yes, I own original retail cartridges of all the games I play so my roms are 100% legal backups

no, you may not see my collection

Holy shit, what? First I'm hearing of this 35XX 2024 fuckery. Wonder how many people got fucked and bought the wrong one.

>>10907131
Real Segafags get overly attached to other Sonic Team games, even when they suck (Nights).

>>10907140
I can only think of two Linux chinkhelds with Vullkan support, real pain in the ass for shaders.

>>10907142
Sir, you must post receipts proving that you bought them new (first hand) too. Buying second hand carts is also theft don't you know!

>>10907149
>Buying second hand carts is also theft don't you know!
cartridges resold prior to 2001 are grandfather clause'd

>>10907151
Uncorrect, sir. Every resold cartridge is theft. You did not pay the license holders directly so you don't own the game.
Incinerate that cart at once you filthy criminal scum.

Don't you know those hardworking developers are starving and going out of business because of sirs like you!?
May god strike you and yours down while you sleep, you criminal! CRIMINAL!

Yes I'm still buck broken

Got my rg28xx in the mail yesterday, decided to get one on a whim because it reminded me of emulation consoles from about 15 years ago that I enjoyed a lot.

Been playing it for a few hours, pretty impressed with the performance overall, plays some dreamcast stuff, pretty overkill because I will probably just use it for GBC and GBA, bit of SNES AND Mega Drive.

Some cons though:
>let's you add filters to RetroArch, but performance suffers badly if you do
>speaker is shite, crackles during transitions in and out of games
>even my smallish hands cramp up using it for longer than 45 mins
>L and R placement is absolutely awful, needing to be pressed by the middle section of your fingers
Though you can just remap L2 and R2 to be L and R. Without analogues, you likely won't be doing much that calls for both sets.

It does what I wanted for about what I wanted to spend though, so pretty impressed overall.

>anbernig could manage a front firing speaker on something as tiny as the 28xx, but not the rg556

>>10907134
just delete them after 24 hours and download them again

>>10907030
I like it

>>10907204
>they put the speaker directly under your thumb so it's muffled

>>10907204
The 556 is a disaster.
>fix speakers
>make it at least as powerful as the RP4 pro
It could have been a good oled handheld

>>10907180
Hmm, you sounding like Taki with the "I made the Pocket 3+" talk aside, that implies X28 was going to be on a worse chip? Interesting.

>>10907196
>let's you add filters to RetroArch, but performance suffers badly if you do
OpenGL just can't handle shaders well, the difference on dual OS RK3566s where Android gets access to Vulkan is brutal (this is not an endorsement, for god's sake don't buy those).

>>10907204
>even the cheapest powkiddium and assorted clones have centered speakers on vertical as default
>anbernic still making verticals with bottom right placement
>405V is bottom firing even

You can only have one handheld. All other devices cease to exist.

Which one is it?

>>10907240
Is there any budget consoles with RK3566s? I feel like the Vulcan is important.

>>10907242
Rg35xx plus

>>10907240
>Hmm, you sounding like Taki with the "I made the Pocket 3+
How? I was legit waiting for the x18s v4. Everything about the successor is ultimately up to the engineer, and he admittedly made the right choice. I'm still buck broken though

>>10907245
Not with internal storage and the extra 1GB of RAM Android needs. And even if there were, I still wouldn't recommend it, it's just slow.

That said, Gamma is working on getting some version of Android TV running from SDs on RK3566s. If it'll be worth it remains to be seen, but wouldn't hold my breath for any miracles, probably a sidegrade.

>>10907242

>>10907242

>>10907074
>And if the H700 vs RK3566 reports were right, the latter will have a massive lead in software
I'm out of the loop, why's that?

>>10907242
Powchaddy v90

>>10907245
And I should really emphasize here, Vulkan runs shaders a lot better but not miraculously so, cheap chinkhelds WILL struggle elaborate stuff. RK3566 is only slightly faster than the H700 on the guy's 28XX, not a selling factor at all.

>>10907259
RK3566 development has been going for a while now (since 2022 IIRC) under several devices, H700 just debuted a few months ago on chinkhelds and only anbernic used it for 3 devices (technically 2 if you exclude the 35XX 2024 scam).

>>10907267
Wait, scratch that, it's 4: 35XX Plus, 35XX H, 28XX and 35XX 2024.

>>10907267
T61 when?

You don't need more.

>>10907273
I'm not Gamma if that's what you're implying, just robbing this shit from pisscord.

>>10907134
I visit the house of everyone involved with the games (or their families, in the case of the dev's passing) and pay them each a calculated fraction of the game's total cost at release, adjusting for inflation and tax.

>brand it the exact same name as new, much better model you're releasing simultaneously

Sure Zhou, same thing.

>>10907394
It improves the start and select buttons, though still not ideal, and there's the hall effect sticks and analog triggers. Does D900 get HDMI out from USB-C for that sick DS trick or is that just the D1100?

>>10907403
Power bump is questionable.

>>10907389

It actively makes the device worse

>>10907389

It kinda is. It's so competent for it's price, you'll never go back after the sticks /dpad/triggers, you'll be stuck with Retroid

>>10907462
no

>>10907462
>>10907467
ArkOS on rk3566 stuff does, but the battery reading it bases that alert on isn't accurate to begin with kek

>>10907462
Some have battery light indicators for like reaching 10% or something

>>10907449
I guess I wont use it if its 50% or lower, shit console even keeps using fuck ton of battery on sleep mode.

I'm still on my return window since I got it trough amazon, thinking about it.

>>10907495
not the anon you're replying to, but if you're open to it, 100% worth the switch imo.

>>10907495
I started with linux, moved to android and never looked back. You have to do a lot of setup yourself though.

>>10907449
RK3566 can't do battery metrics right.

>>10907462
On screen? No. You can check battery from EmulationStation or RetroArch's menu, but like mentioned RK3566's readings are off so you might as well stop at 20% for good measure. I've seen mine hit 0% once.

Come to think of it, that's another rare 2S shortcoming, could have used a power LED.

>>10907495
It's well worth it if you pick a good one. Retroid have the best builds with bells and whistles, Ayn lags behind only because of their exclusive extra input lag, Anbernic is mediocre with some awful releases and is basically just stock, Powkiddy is stock Android but with guaranteed issues.

>>10906990
It automatically goes to sleep on its own if you put it down to take a piss or something. That's part of the issue, too. You put it down, it goes to sleep, and then powering it back on means holding power button for a few seconds...hold it too long and it'll hard reset, I guess. But its boot time is so fucked that it's hard to tell if you've held it long enough or not.

and they're called handhelds despite the fact that they don't even have hands?

you can love games and still argue over hardware

I bought this GBP at 60$ expecting to add an IPS screen + a generic everdrive from Aliexpress. But I see that this combination has heavy screen problems.

Is it very common? I've read that it's a matter of using high voltage batteries. Is there any convenient solution other than soldering an expensive and unaffordable board that I may not be able to acquire from my shit country?

Kinda surprised how well the 3D effect works on a 4.7" screen but it's real nice. Jarring though, a 3D game made up of entirely 2D sprites makes it kinda feels like those framed retro game 3D pics you see on Etsy, but in motion.

I actually have a 3D TV from when that fad was going around I'd love to try this on, but the input delay on it's too shit for actual gameplay.

I think you guys just like wasting money at this point.

>>10907953
das very kool~ daddy-o

>>10907965
>~20% inflation rate
Wasting it would be letting it rot in a savings account at this point, no cap.
We are literally saving the world by paying into the economy, fr fr.

>>10907953
You can still use the 3DTV to play at least 1500 DirectX PC games, if not many more via Helix Mod and nvidia's 3DTV Play. There are universal 3D fixes for Unity and UE4 engines as well as dedicated 3D fixes but you need a 2080 Ti nvidia card or lower for complete DX11 compatibility. AMD cards won't work but it's pretty impressive even at 60 - 120Hz.

Cross your eyes to see the System Shock remake in 3D, a middle image with depth will appear.

And again

>>10907995
Yes that's right, buy things and never save money

>>10908004
It's not a problem of compatability with the Retroid, it's just a matter of the TV kinda sucking. It's always had bad input delay, but thats why it's just used for TV and Movies

He's not wrong though, if I wanted to play DS games (and not single screen toggle cope/side by side) that aren't Pokemon, the original hardware's the way to go. That said, I don't know if the price of DS hardware is expensive now, last I remember DS lites were less than the price of a Miyoo Mini. I suppose if you want whatever's the best 3DS you're going to have to cough up a good amount though.

>>10908031
Playing pc games in stereoscopic 3D with Helix mod on a 3DTV is worth it, lots of tools out there to make it easy if you liked the 3DS. You can look for a used 27" nvidia 3D vision monitor for full 1080p 120Hz 3D but I use a 65" Panasonic plasma 3DTV about 14 feet away.

Your tv - if it's a true 3DTV, 3D gaming will be capped at 24fps @ 1080p or 60fps @ 720p through nvidia 3DTV Play. I'm getting old so I run everything on that Panasonic at 720p, but I can testify that 3D gaming at 720p 60fps looks very good. Some people just get stuck on the numbers but we have new folks showing up with 3000/4000 cards who are stuck with only DX9 games in 3D unless there's a Geo-11 fix for them. 2080Ti or lower = DX9 and DX11 3D compatibility.

Callisto Protocol in 3D was a nice treat - forget about that input lag.

>>10908076
He's right only in the context of DS.
Prices for DSi XL aren't too bad, the bigger issue there is the screens but that's an issue with every lite & i. DS & 3DS emulation's kinda sad on handhelds but that's due to a mix of hardware gimmicks and software, esp with bad builds of drastic.

>>10908076
High resolution > two tiny screens

>>10907865
Cheap build quality, bad d-pad, I want a -good- FPGA handheld.

>>10908096
Yeah, I meant specifically for the DS
>>10908116
I guess if that's what you care about, I'm looking more in terms of the ergonomics of the gameplay - generally these handhelds have no touch screen, mic (for games that use it), as well as the few that require you to turn the thing sideways like Brain Age, etc. You can emulate the games, but you can't really emulate the way they play - sure the emulator might support using some workaround, but that's not really the same.
I'm not an original-hardware autist by any stretch, but I feel like DS is one that benefits from having the original form factor - and that's most easily achievable with just using a DS.

>>10908136
To also clarify this is for games that actively use both screens by design, not stuff like Pokemon where you can kinda get away with just needing to look at the bottom screen sometimes.

So how many devices you have? How did it happen?
I got a rg35xx back in summer to test the waters and I realized I do still enjoy playing games on handheld while laying on my back but this particular one doesn't feel comfortable to me, so provably I'll get something horizontal and give this away.

>>10908184
Just an Odin 2. Had an RP3 earlier but sold it since the screen kinda sucked. I did just buy a Legion GO last week because I want to play PC stuff on the GO, but I might return it.

You picked the worst possible model of GameBoy to mod. The color or DMG are better suited for what you want to do. The AAA batteries that the pocket uses makes it horrible for modded screens and flash cards. You can alleviate this to an extent with power regulator and battery mods, but good luck finding something simple. Also, sell the original LCD screen on eBay to make 90% of your money back.

Still far away enough that none of this is from anbernic themselves or we've seen retail units.

russ is a shill, he's worse than ETA Prime because as least ETA is upfront about what he is, russ tries to hide it

half of the devices in this video he's never once talked about since their reviews and other devices hes praised in his reviews aren't even here

the fact the trimui smart pro is here is all you need to know he rushed that review without testing the powersave feature, said it was a bad device and now because its popular he has to start showing it again, well see a "I love the trimui smart pro" video soon, watch

he isnt even a good reviewer, missed the powersave, missed the software issues in the gkd pixel, missed the ayaneo pocket air performance toggle and in every review just glosses over devices issues so he can stay in the "good" graces of manufacturers to keep getting their devices first

>>10908701
You know these companies do revisions and rereleases all the time. Either be happy with what you got or accept that you'll need more from time to time.

>>10908860
Russ is an introductory companion piece to chinkheld research, not what anyone should be using to make their final judgments.

>>10908860
Not being a shill is not sustainable. You need to pay for your units and you receive them when the shillers already posted their videos several weeks earlier.

Well I think I'm gonna use my regular rg35xx for a while now as it works just fine and this seems more like an impulse buy than an actual need and I don't want to end up with 10 chink handhelds.

Should I really bother buying another SD card for speeds or is the default 64GB one that usually comes fine? got the RG35XX H

>>10908970
Keep in mind EasyRPG only works with very old RPGMaker.

>>10909003
Their reliability is the concern here, lot of people complain about their cards from factory dying early.

>>10909003
They used to be crap, and I bet they still are. Is not a matter of speed, it can break at any time or give you problems you can't easily debug, including losing your save data.

>>10908940
I liked Russ a lot back when he was the only person actually measuring and weighing these chinkhelds. These days its become more common for these companies to share that information though and not withhold it for some stupid fucking reason.

>>10908301
>>10908970
The EasyRPG core launches specifically RPGMaker 2000 and 2003 games only, there is currently no way to launch RPGMaker games newer than those 2 engines in Retroarch.
Personally the ones I have installed are Helen's Mysterious Castle, Yume Nikki and OFF, pretty standard stuff. They run fine as far as I can tell. I initially had some random problem with the core detecting Helen's Mysterious Castle for whatever reason but works fine now.

I had some folders set up in Syncthing but hadn't given it enough consideration for exceptions (since A2MR stores in its own directory), I should probably just sync the whole SD card with exceptions or something.
This wasn't the stock card but a Samsung one I had laying around, but now that I think about it, it might be a decade old, so I guess I had it coming.

>>10908860
I don't mind him being a shill. I kind of just assume anyone who gets review units to be a shill otherwise how do you make money? That said it is annoying to see him skip over some devices while making a new video every other month about how he still loves the Odin 2.

>>10908860
Who pays him the most?

I don't care about reviewers, what is YOUR favorite handhelds? Why? What games do you play the most?

>>10909324
I only have one which has served me well so far, the trimui smart pro. As of late I'm playing a lot of psp titles which I didn't plan but it's the best way to play ps2 ports like persona 3 or metal solid and other improved psx/snes ports. Playing persona 3 right now, very addicting.

I've thought it was good the entire time though??? And that always seemed to be the consensus, too. You had some people here posting about flaws with speakers, triggers, or the fact it can't play PSP, but those things never took away from the fact is was a great handheld overall.

>>10909409
It had a lot of shortcomings on release but I always thought it was fantastic given the price.

I don't own a pocket but I do know my AAA rechargeables and your best batteries are going to be just straight up Eneloop or Ikea (rewrapped loops) batteries. The regular ones are alright and their best battery but eneloop pros are good too, just less of a lifetime overall. Lloytron has some high capacity 1100ma AAA's too and they're ehh, they're okay if you treat them right and don't care about low self discharge (LSD means you can pick up a device a month later and not lose 20% of its capacity basically).
Other than that, smart charger (not a cheap one) and a dumb charger, you want a smart charger capable of charging at 1c (so 700/1000ma) as well as lower intervals like 200ma & discharging, there's chargers like the YC400 that'll kinda do that.
A battery discharger is also good with NIMH, smart chargers sometimes have 'em and they're good for healthy batteries, some good dumb chargers have 'em too and they work old style (will soook until nothing is in em).
So why a dumb charger too? When conditioning NIMH you want to charge at a low current (0.1C) but many smart chargers bottom out at like 100 or 200ma or on the cheap chinese end 500ma so you have to split the load across cells to get down to 75ma or there abouts. Because AAA lack capacity finding yourself a charger that'll do 75ma is harder work than you think.

Other boring ass fun shit to know about eneloops & NIMH.
Forming charge: Charge to 100% in a smart charger when you buy to top up, discharge down to 0.9V or 1V then charge for 15-16h at 0.1c (2000mah battery = 200mah).
General eneloop regular charging, you can charge at 1C so long as you don't overcharge them and discharge them first, if using a smart charger that can cutoff 1C is fine. Sanyo even say 1C are fine and that's built into their cycle count. Battery that aren't loops, LSD or good tier you want to do no more than 0.5C regularly.

>the fact the trimui smart pro is here is all you need to know he rushed that review without testing the powersave feature, said it was a bad device and now because its popular he has to start showing it again, well see a "I love the trimui smart pro" video soon, watch
>he isnt even a good reviewer, missed the powersave,
HOLY BASED

>>10909154
Common sense. Watch a blanket of videos, look at the chip it's using, look at the software and then look at users (this thread) and other in depth reviews from people who can only show bias due to sunk cost and nothing more.
You should be able to get by without the last one but users can and will point out shit that isn't in the reviews like awkward button placement, shit sleep modes etc.

>>10909265
>I should probably just sync the whole SD card with exceptions or something.
>This wasn't the stock card but a Samsung one I had laying around, but now that I think about it, it might be a decade old, so I guess I had it coming.
That sounds like a terrible idea but if you've already copied it over once might not be that bid since it'd only to incremental after that.
I like syncthings backup feature, takes a little more space but what's 50x the save size for a game you're playing if you can easily drop in and out for old saves?

>>10909273
>kind of just assume anyone who gets review units to be a shill otherwise how do you make money?
This is the key to youtube reviews and why they usually suck. They have partnerships to maintain, if not with the manufacturer with the store that's sending them units for sponsorship. If they send you out review units and you review 4 out of 5 negatively they're not going to see it as a worthwhile investment.
This locks YT & hardware reviews in general to unbiased reviewers who either purchase themselves or have integrity (think something like GN that gets funding elsewhere). Chinkhelds are too small a market to get that funding elsewhere, so you'll see bias and vested interests everywhere but user reviews.

>>10909383
OS got better by a lot in .3 & .4 and price cuts.
The hardware was already good enough but they also fixed the triggers but really it's the OS. Proper sleep mode, decent battery, wifi, bluetooth, moonlight for streaming, portmaster's here now and PSP has a bandaid where you can use openGL or Vulkan. The near 5" 16:9 screen also works out bigger than the other budget 3.5" devices, there's not much competition in the way of big screens at that price.
Also don't underestimate the power of a proper sleep mode either.

Because when it launched, it was nearly the price of a 2S with way weaker performance, a lot of problems, shitty controls, and mediocre software. Now a lot of the problems got fixed, the software is actually is pretty good, and most importantly, you can get it for even cheaper than the Miyoo Mini/RG35XX now. So now that price to performance ratio is actually really good and getting a nice big 5" 720p at that price is a ridiculously good deal.

>>10909667

That's the spirit

Speaking of the TSP, that anon who was asking about the speakers the other day.
I opened mine to check and change 'em if needed and they were in the right orientation. So they've been doing that since at least mid February.

Meaningless until he releases it and it's prefaced with him admitting his own incompetence right at the start and his reasons for leaving the original up in the original format.
He may have to compromise himself, explain it was due to contractual obligations with the sponsor that sent him the unit if it was from a store but he'll save face.
Again, meaningless until the deed is done. Every day that passes without an updated video is a day that he remains a small handed leftie that needs special kiddy scissors.

>>10909776
Why are you guys even so mad about him fucking up the review? If anything it's better for us because the general audience won't drive up the price by buying it in bulk. All the shilling resulted that the TSP now costs like $30 more than a week ago.

>>10908695
Didn't consider that, I just bought red and blue cause that's the "classic" colors, but yeah they'd probably be a lot more comfortable.

>>10908085
Okay. That's all really cool. My 3DTV still has terrible input delay for playing video games, and all these numbers you're spewing isn't making it any better for video games.

>>10908773
Damn, well...my best option then is the IPS mod + repro cartridges? Worse is nothing.. and the screen if you look closely has a dark pachon, then I'm fucked.

>>10909574
And in short...with good batteries I won't have any problem? I don't want to solder the absolute.

>>10909615
>That sounds like a terrible idea
It certainly chugged on first run, especially since I didn't exclude the syncthing/ folder, effectively creating an infinite sync loop, but it seems OK after that. It'd definitely be saner to scope it a bit more or do a global exclude and then specific folder/file include patterns, I'll have to see if the default hourly rescan causes any stuttering.

>>10909882
>And in short...with good batteries I won't have any problem?
It'll depend on the power draw and where voltage cut-off points lay for each piece of hardware but yes, in general good NIMH cells will take you a long way if you treat them well. NIMH can stand up to a lot of bullying so long as they're not constantly being topped off and overcharged like in a phone handset docked.
AAA eneloops clock in at 750/800 for regular and 930 for pro so you'll get at least 1500mah-1860mah from them or 2000mah~ give or take for higher capacity cells, it's significantly less than you'll get out of AA's but that's the nature of the smaller package. Beware that high capacity batteries not from known brands are also mislabelled or don't hold up to their advertised capacities and it's common for cheaper brands to clock in significantly less than advertised with AAA.
New eneloops you buy are from later revisions and are costly but the Ikea 750mah rewraps are solid enough too coming in at £4 for a 4 pack (extremely good value) and will last you years.

Your biggest hurdle to clear with battery charging nowadays is that there's a lot of smart chargers out there and not a lot of dumb chargers or models with good dischargers around. Back in the good ol' days of the 90's and 00's you could pop into stores and buy a dumb charger easily and even dumb chargers with dischargers & testing circuitry, now not so much as there's a lot of USB style smart chargers. Smart chargers aren't the worst but it's a bad idea to use them on batteries that aren't discharged.

If you can get more capacity by soldering in a battery mod with a li-on cell, that's not a terrible idea either. It'll save you carrying around a little battery case at least.

You wouldn't download a chinkheld.

>>10909563
A bit overkill but eh

>>10909559
556 is almost great, which is its biggest problem. It should have basically been a RP4P but bigger with a better screen.

>>10909574
Oh my kek, the hoops tendies will jump through to play mid games on original or accurate hardware. Might as well just settle for an Anal Pocket if you're not going to stick with superior chineseum hardware.

>>10909608
And my favorite, melting screens.

>>10909563
The max is overkill so you fucked up there but I find the odin 2 to be much better for picking up and playing quickly. I prefer it for emulation and I also use it for android games. I sold my deck after I got a rog ally. I don't miss the deck in the slightest.

>TSP looks like it should play PSP games but can't

>RG ARC looks like it should play Saturn but can't

>>10909972
Yeah, that one isn't happening, saturn emulation as a whole is fucked up

>playing console games on a handheld
if you didn't play it sitting on the couch with your bros, you didn't beat the game

>>10909975
What chip would an RG-ARC 2 need to have satisfying Saturn emulation?

>>10909792
That's a very good point. I remember the price of the the trimui smart spiking the fuck up and eventually being out of stock when he did a rereview and pointed out it was on sale.

>>10909696
>you can get it for even cheaper than the Miyoo Mini/RG35XX now
But just like usual the tendiehelds will still sell better despite the snoyheld having superior hardware
>>10909776

>"they told me to shill it wrong as a joke"
Nah he'll just say it got updated which made it better and that explains why the review is more positive

>>10909976
I genuinely don't enjoy playing console games on a handheld.
For chink handhelds are just glorified game boys.

>>10909976
I only play handhelds and mobile games on my chinkheld/phone

m8 the switch soc has a weaker cpu than the t618, and even that can't play at least a good handful of Saturn games at fullspeed in yaba sanshiro, let alone actually play things accurately in the far more demanding beetle core.

I'm not a tendie or interested in playing on original hardware. Loved the pocket when I was growing up but chinkhelds are fine.

NIMH batteries aren't bad but they've gotten a raw deal as time has advanced due to both charging hardware and newer devices having higher voltage cutoffs & power draw (xbox 360/one controller is a good example).
You may have an old AA NIMH cell that can hold 60% of it's capacity and will run for months in a clock, low power draw device with an old display like thermometers, hanheld fan etc but are useless when it comes to driving a modern device with an LED/display due to the current demands.
They don't suffer from a strict memory effect like NI-CAD used to but still require hoop jumping with modern chargers and devices. A user might have their controller/device shut off sooner and charge the battery up when it instead needs to be discharged and then slow charged back at 0.1c.

The autism isn't terminal until you've went out of your way to buy an RC charger to charge/discharge cells that would cost less to replace than recover.

>>10909990
Can't get away with using a PC CRT either, gotta force 15KHz or go super res or you're not playing it right!

rechargable nimh AA batteries fail pretty often whether it's ebl amazon tenergy etc. just keep buying on sale and have a charger with a lot of bays

>>10909598
It's a egg thing, don't worry about it

>>10910054
>rechargable nimh AA batteries fail pretty often
Yeah, due to poor battery conditioning in this age.
>EBL, Tenergy
Hit or miss on their high capacities, Tenergy less so than EBL.
>Amazon
Used to be good but they swapped manus, about the same tier as Duracell rn.
Duracell are also hit and miss on longevity, got a bunch that are only good for incandescent flashlights & clocks.

>just keep buying on sale and have a charger with a lot of bays
Yeah. If you're using high current devices and can't be fucked babying them you may as well.
The entry cost of a good smart charger & dumb charger is higher than buying a new pack every 1.5 years if you're a bezosbab.

>>10909940
I downloaded one, printed it on paper, cut and then compared wit other devices to get thhe feel of it's size. Only then I bought it
