>used microsds
why wait for your microsd to shit itself when you can buy one that is pre-shitted

Could one of you Odin 2 lads try Rent-A-Hero in Flycast with the "Per-pixel alpha sorting" setting toggled and tell me if you get this fucky artifacting? It should be pretty obvious just walking around.

>>10912256
new storage devices shit themselves too you know

>>10912257
I would but I don't have a Sonic Adventure save.

>>10912235
buy an ad fuckhead.

>>10912258
new storage devices also have more than a 30 day warranty

>>10912242
Hidamari Sketch looking motherfucker

>>10912268
they also have a tendency to die in multiples of 30 days plus 1

>>10912261
That was just an example of what the artifacting looks like, you don't need to check that particular scene. It appears all over the place when I try to play Rent A Hero on my RG556 with per-pixel alpha sorting right from the very beginning, so I was just wondering if it appears on the Odin 2 as well.

How's the OLED on your Chinese devices? ...surely they have OLED screens anon, right...?

>>10912279
I'll try it this afternoon when I get home. Where's the setting in flycast?

Look at the OP, Anon...

Also do you guys think Retroid will ever release an OLED device? Or did Anbernig suck some cock to source these screens?

>>10912287
Alright cool, Chinese devices have finally caught up with what I've been doing since 2020

reasons to buy analogue pocket
- fpga isn't emulation there's actual gates emulating a chip
- plays your dirty ass cartridges
- magic
- video filters that makes the 21st century screen look like a 20th century screen
- no need to replace batteries because they don't sell them separately
- shows you won't settle with less accuracy for playing your best seller games

>>10912287
>anbernig gets 4" 4:3 screen no one else has
>anbernig gets access to a good 1080p OLED screen that they can sell for cheap
Someone at Anbernig has really good connections for screens.

>>10912284
Awesome, thanks anon. It's at the top under Settings > Video, but you have to make sure the video renderer is set to Vulkan, otherwise the Per-Pixel option won't appear. The renderer setting is also under Settings > Video, just have to scroll further down from this screencap to find it.

>>10912280
Looking good!

>>10912280
why would i want a screen with guaranteed burn in

>>10912287
>>10912297
honestly i prefer IPS over OLED

>>10912341
because it looks better, has better response time, has better battery efficiency, and by the time it gets any burn in you'd already have moved onto a new chinkheld anyways.

>>10912346
>and by the time it gets any burn in you'd already have moved onto a new chinkheld anyways.

i just don't like the idea of electronics i buy being destined for the landfill in under a decade. that's not how i use electronics. my main computer monitor is an IPS i've been using for about a decade and i have no intention to replace it until it stops working

>>10912346
It's safer dealing with commodities.

>>10912347
My previous monitor went strong for 15 years then a capacitor blew out :(

Next time you make the OP, stop whining and be the change you want to see.

Found another one. But it's identical to the one I already found while thrifting, same colour and everything. Sadly all of my nephews are only into Fortnite/Roblox and hate anything "old", and my niece is only into unicorns and poop.

Maybe I'll mod it.

t. molested as a child

>>10912316
it is obvious, the jew fears the R36S

In your opinion, what's the best chinkheld to gift? MM+? I'm gifting them to some dudes that will probably use them as Pokémon Emerald + Mario Bros 3 machines

>>10912287
Not unless OLED screens become a lot cheaper. Retroid's big selling point is their value, and Anbernic had to charge almost $40 more for their RG556 than the Base Pocket 4 just to get that OLED screen in there (and even then they had to cheap out on build quality to do it)

Retroid's in a good spot right now, the 2S is basically the undisputed king of $100 systems, and the 4 Pro is AFAIK the only pocketable console under $200 capable of GCN and PS2. I don't see them wanting to fuck up that formula any time soon.

>>10912292
well achually chinese devices started getting more OLED screens around 2022 with the Ayaneo Air. Its just until now that more companies besides them are adopting these displays. I guess they just became cheaper to source.

>>10912404
My advice is get an original RG35XX off amazon, you can find a lot of listings under $70 with free 2 day shipping, and they often come with a half decent carrying case, too. I've given three as gifts (My adult sister, an adult out of state friend, and my 13 year old nephew) and they all seem to love it.

Only thing is don't just give it to them as-is. I typically get a fresh SD card, isntall garlic, and then throw in a library I have of all the "classic" games for each system as not to overwhelm them. I'd be happy to link the library I use if you like!

>>10912404
10 R36S and 10 256GB microsds are just $370

Asked this at the end of last thread but what should I opt for when it comes to a Wonderswan?
>Wonderswan Color with no IPS screen mod.
>Wonderswan Color with an IPS screen mod.
>SwanCrystal.
SwanCrystals are only like $30 more than a normal Color and to my understanding they're the best unmodded variant. I also can't seem to really find anything about the flashcart scene outside of Flash Masta's flashcart. Is that the only one where it's like the old GB, SNES, and NES flashcarts where you have to manually flash the thing every time you want to play a new game from your computer instead of an SD card solution?

I primarily want it just to play Rockman EXE WS with its original control scheme and maybe a couple other translated games like the Digimon ones. Plus the novelty of it. Ideally I'd grab the Crystal Blue Color if I was getting one and the Gameboy Advanced Blue/Purple if a SwanCrystal.

>>10912438
People are actually destroying Wonderswans now? What the absolute fuck.

>>10912446
You mean with IPS mods? As far as I understand the screen replacements have been around for years. If anything reshelling seems to have more because I've been looking to get one every so often and you always see Final Fantasy edition reshells trying to get more money. SwanCrystal had either a frontlight or backlight which was why it was the definitive version, I forgot which.

>>10912438
Rockman EXE is a really, really bad game. Like twenty times worse than the Mega Man & Bass GBA port bad. It, however, is what spawned the Mega Man.EXE traditional Mega Man game on the GameCube.

>>10912404
>>10912425
>Mario Bros 3
I would not shill the R36S for anything but RPGs and other slow games, or for kids. Platformers will feel terrible with the shit dpad and buttons.

You have to pick your poison if you don't want to spend a bunch. OS, buttons, screen, build quality, analog sticks, etc.

>>10912257
Have you tried it with the Flycast core in RetroArch? IIRC you can reduce it quite a bit with a shader turned on.

>>10912457
I've played it a bit already so I know what to expect, I just want to play it how it was intended on the WS rather than through an emulator with a different controller which is mainly why I care more about this than I probably should.

>cut controller in half
>solder the pieces to the sides of a 32'' curved monitor
>tape a rpi to the back
we can make the ultimate handheld, /vr/

>>10912446
I'll never understand why people get mad when people upgrade and update their systems.

Even the shittiest backlight or LCD replacement is objectively better than a 90's handheld calculator screen. Complaining that people are replacing them is like saying "Ugh, you replaced this houses 50 year old lead pipes? You fucking ruined it!"

>check RGB30 review
>accidental diagonals on the dpad
I'm fucking done.
All these devices are garbage.

>>10912463
You're the type to play with unfiltered pixels stretched to widescreen, aren't you

>>10912462
>32'' monitor
I think that'd drain my AA batteries pretty quick.

>>10912457
Nah it's good, far better than the botched RM&F gba port.

New Micro handheld, looks sweet, but like the Mini GBC/Mini GBA/Mini DMG these are a passion project individually made

>>10912463
>I'll never understand why people get mad when people upgrade and update their systems.
Because it's not the original experience. Why do you think people are obsessive about filters? I personally would only do replacements on something that already has a dead screen to begin with and only if I already had one with an OEM screen.

>>10912464
Works fine on my machine

>>10912391
Sanae handheld when?

>>10912464
B-b-but anon-kun...

>>10912476

>>10912470
>It's good
No it fucking is not. It looks like a poor man's 2D NDS game and runs like an early 2000s java mobile phone game. In fact the early 2000s java mobile phone games like Mega Man Rush play and perform better than this piece of shit does.
t. Someone who owned and beat it. Mega Man & Bass GBA is a far better experience in every way.

>>10912468
don't worry m8 this baby is gonna use two whole C batteries.

>>10912476
>>10912479
No fuck me, I wanted a handheld mostly for GB and arcade games and this seemed perfect
>but you can fix it with electrical tape
how about you put electrical tape in my dick and shove it up your fucking ass you slant eyed chinks
yes im mad

>>10912480
Yes anon, I have hair, probably more than you. Your point?

>>10912483
Not that anon, this actually looks fun to me. Only EXE game I've played is Network Transmission

>>10912408
I'll never understand fags and their obsession with pocketability. As kids we didn't walk around everywhere with gameboys in our pockets and the RP4 fucks you if you sit down unless all you wear are cargo shorts.

>>10912492
more like had hair lol

>>10912493
>it looks fun
You are looking at still screenshots. It fucking runs at 10 fps like a slideshow.

>>10912487
Have you heard about the RGB20SX, the same thing as that one but built a little better and different form factor
https://youtu.be/0ug6ngYrlP4?si=3wpK-6xAzu0Gl61l

>>10912487
>but you can fix it with electrical tape
I like how everyone has started recommending this recently. Has no one used electrical tape before? The adhesive melts easily and any sort of repeated pressure on it, like with a dpad, is going to turn it to shit. Have fun cleaning and replacing it every month or two.

>>10912494
If you didn't walk around with a Gameboy in your pocket, it's either because you couldn't afford one, you were a turbo nerd with some Gameboy themed briefcase for your handheld and games and accessories, or your parent didn't allow you to take it outside of the house/to school. Everyone carried their handheld in their pocket, retard. It's literally why Pokemon are called, "Pocket Monsters".

>>10912474
>>10912467
>Erm, you didn't REALLY play the game unless you could barely see it half the time

I get wanting a faithful experience but this is just tism at this point. People hated unlit screens even back when the Gameboy was still "current gen". The most popular accessories for them were lights just so people could see the damn things. It wasn't a stylistic choice, it was literally just a way to keep the budget down, and the most popular

If you went back to the year 1995 and said "Hey, would you rather have a fully lit LCD screen", 99% of people would say "oh fuck yes, please", and they'd call you a dipshit for saying "but aktshully, it's not authentic, Mario Land 2 wasn't meant to be well lit"

>>10912503
It's hilarious because what they mean is kapton tape (that yellow/brown transparent tape meant for PCBs) but they're so tech illiterate they all just call it electrical tape, and now tons of them use actual electrical tape, lmfao

>>10912510
>99% of people would say "oh fuck yes, please"
until they realized the colors looked like shit now. and that's just for a backlight mod, not an entirely different screen or screen type.

>>10912510
I'd rather have flying cars in the 90s as well but that doesn't mean it was affordable to manufacture or purchase, you total fucking idiot. "Hurrrr why didn't everyone just use 5G wireless in the 90s????"

>>10912494
Pocketable handheld is nice but I wouldn't buy a Retroid for that, more like V90 or RG Nano or something, or the one I want, K10 (Famiclone)

>>10912510
99% of people would ask you what the fuck an LCD is. LCDs weren't commonplace until the mid 2000s and didn't surprass CRTs in image quality until 2007, you ignorant fucking zoomer.

>>10912534
Nah, in the 90s, 99% of people would assume LCD was a new LSD and call the cops with a stranger danger panic.

>>10912528
The new RG28XX looked pretty nice and supposedly has a good dpad and buttons if you don't mind a horizontal. I don't think I'd pay $45 for that screen though, but when it drops to $30-35 I would.

>>10912510
The only thing people wanted concerning gameboy screens were for them to be backlit. That's it. And even then Nintendo were shits and front lit a few handhelds before finally backlighting them.

>>10912495
You lose dozens of hairs a day.

>>10912538
Dude there are three new RG35XX.
The New RG35XX is the original RG35XX with a new chip.
The RG35XX Plus has the new d-pad, and only model with the fixed d-pad.
The RG35XX-H is the only horizontal one and it has the old shit d-pad.

>>10912519
"Mmmh, yes, nothing to get in the way of these gorgeous colors as they were meant to be viewed"

>>10912534
Literally all gameboys were LCDs "you ignorant fucking zoomer"

>>10912524
I have no idea what point you're trying to make here, I literally said "It wasn't a stylistic choice, it was literally just a way to keep the budget down"

>>10912316
/hhg/ hates the R36S because it wasn't made by Powkiddy, Anbernic, or Retroid.

>>10912541
well I found them for you anon

your welcome

>>10912545
RG28XX, not RG35XX. It's a 2.8" screen iirc and rather tiny so it's a true pocketable, not something that takes up your whole pocket uncomfortably but still fits so it's a 'pocket' device.

>>10912508
There's a thing called backpacks, zoomie. Maybe look it up someday.

>>10912463
It's pure contrarian shitposting, don't take it seriously

>>10912502
its the same dpad you nigger

>>10912476
My rule is that if it uses Switch joysticks, it doesn't exist to me.

>>10912549
No I hate it because it's rockshit vertislop.

>>10912534
>>10912537
what the fuck, are you zoomers or are you getting dementia? LCD was a common term even in the 80s, because it was new tech and proudly advertised as a feature. I also remember calculators would commonly have "LCD" printed on them.

>>10912494
>As kids we didn't walk around everywhere with gameboys in our pockets
Either because you were afraid of it getting stolen/confiscated at school or because you didn't have one lol
>and the RP4 fucks you if you sit down unless all you wear are cargo shorts.
Are you only putting it in your back pocket or do you just wear pants with uselessly small pockets? What a baffling post.

>>10912549
>Anbernic
most of /hhg/ appears to hate anerbnic because they can't afford the better build quality. they do seem to like powkiddy with their weird designs and average quality with high prices for some unexplainable reason though

>>10912558

Kek absolutely this

>>10912493
It plays like a traditional Megaman game with chip pickups from enemies that are one-time use. Movement is fairly slow and the levels aren't super amazing.

>>10912616
It's literally the exact same technology, Only difference is those tiger/game&watch style games arrange their panels in pre-set shapes, and fully fledged screens arrange them in rows of squares

>play WS game on chinkheld
>game flips and suddenly there are massive black bars if it's set to not change device orientation or if it is then I now have to play it flipped on a handheld that was not meant to be held sideways
Are you ok, retard?

>>10912346
>and by the time it gets any burn in you'd already have moved onto a new chinkheld anyways.
OLEDs typically get burn in with sporadic usage within a year or two... Fuck I've seen a thousand dollar phone with OLED burn in under a year just from the web browser alone.

>>10912510
>People hated unlit screens even back when the Gameboy was still "current gen".
Yes, I remember because I lived through it and hated the Worm Light with every fiber of my being for eating up all my battery power. This doesn't change the fact that people want an authentic experience. This doesn't just mean it being unlit, this also means the same lattice/fence effect on the screen, the same sized screen, etc.
I personally am okay with having a modded system on retro systems as long as it's not my only one. I'm not gonna take my SP or GBA and throw on an ITA/IPS screen, I'm gonna buy a second one to do that so I can keep my original just the way it was when I got it from my family. I'd be more than happy to buy a working motherboard, get an aftermarket shell, and slap on aftermarket screens and parts to bring new life to it, but I'm not gonna Frankenstein an OEM one.

>>10912630
>It's literally the exact same technology
You guys post dumber bait every day

>>10912643
...So his statement isn't exactly inaccurate.

>>10912658
>it's excruciating but authentic (to something middle class kids did one time)

I liked the backlight-less screen as an option on like the GBASP and wished more devices were like that so that in well lit areas you had the option of seeing your device's screen (and saving power) by turning the brightness all the way down instead of all the way up.

the entire point of oleds is they're cheap enough to replace every couple weeks

>>10912643
Yes that's such a big problem with smartphones, the known burn in within a year. I mean who hasn't experienced it yet.

>>10912668
Don't bother trying to reason with a tripfag.

The O stands for organic. Give them water and sunlight and they'll regenerate on their own.

>>10912662
It's liquid crystals suspended in a grid formation that rotate based on the electricity being pulsed through it, and said rotation creates the illusion of the pixels being opaque or translucent (which in turn translates to brightness/darkness).

The technology for color LCD is obviously more complex than monochrome but works on the same basic principal of rotating pockets of liquid crystal with electricity. Only real major difference between a modern handheld LCD and something like the gameboy color is, instead of a reflective panel as a backdrop, it's a light panel.

If I'm wrong please point to the innacurate parts of what I said.

>>10912670
Huh? After the SP, which popular device didn't have that option? All my 00s phones had them, my DS phat had it and my cousin PSP had it.

>>10912687
I mean in modern devices, when I got a smartphone for the first time a lifetime ago I turned the brightness all the way down and was disappointed to see it didn't work like turning the backlight off with a GBASP.

>>10912684
>it's liquid crystal magic!
I think this conversation is over.

>>10912691
anon modern displays are polarized

>>10912691
That depends on the smartphone, some of them are actually capable of GBC/GB levels of darkness. Maybe your smartphone has that capability too but you need to download an app for it. Hell, my laptop can do it OOTB with a Linux distro and with some tinkering on Windows

Garlic OS on the rg35xx h, is it based or cringe?

>>10912707
Everything is better than the OFW. Dunno about based or cringe, is just software to improve the functionality of your device, if you find something better than GarlicOS, go for it

>>10912363
You can patch Sonic 1 and 2 ROMs (including ROMhacks) with this patcher and play them up to almost ultrawide in Genesis Plus GX Wide. You definitely need to overclock the Z80 in the emu though.

That said, that's definitely the Taxman remake in the photo

>>10912664
kek

>>10912738
What game is that in your pic?

>>10912697
>>10912703
Not darkness, I mean a screen that is visible when a light shines on it. A no backlight mode.

There are some things I hate about Linux on these devices but I like how it makes it easier to tinker, I tried compiling a port of Triplane Turmoil that was meant for the Switch and it runs fine on my RG35XX H without much fuss. I only really had to figure out the launch script and keyboard mappings for Portmaster.

Pix-pixel sorting runs too slow for me but I get no such errors (Flycast in RA, Vulkan). Have you tried enabling pic related?
(Poco F3, not Odin 2 FWIW)

>>10912808
It's really fucking demanding yeah, but that's good to hear it didn't have those issues on your SD870 device. The dev seems to think it's an issue specific to Mali GPUs, so hopefully an anon's Odin 2 will prove to be immune to it as well.
>Native Depth Interpolation
I do have that enabled, yeah. It doesn't solve the artifacting, but I need it to solve a bunch of other visual glitches.

>>10912309
Oh sorry I thought it was a level in sonic adventure. I didn't think you meant the actual game "rent a hero". I don't have that ISO on my Odin maybe someone else can help you.

>r36s removed from OP
Suspicious

>>10912590
I can smell your fatness from here.

>>10912826
Looking it up further, it seems like the Odin 2 Vulkan drivers might be bugged? If you're feeling brave you can install the Mesa Turner drivers (assuming you're rooted; second option in the link since SD8 Gen 2 = a740).

>>10912858
>step three: never play again as the battery life is abysmal
Who the fuck's going through the effort of a screen swap mod without a battery mod too? They aren't even "destructive", you literally just drop them in the battery compartment and swap in a back panel with a USB slot

>>10912519
>>10912547
Pic related is why I prefer Famiclones over an actual GBC, yes they are basically considered ewaste but they also come with the battery, backlight, and most importantly the games built-in

Sure you can't play PSP or Dreamcast on them but that's not really the point, it's mostly just for fun quick 8-bit games like Tetris or Donkey Kong

>>10912858
>swancrystal doesn't have a light
Oh, my mistake. Like I said I'm not 100% sure about this stuff and one thing I read said it was a version that came with a light. Then what was it, a better screen?

>>10912858
you can't ruin a gayboy they're already shit to start

I said Rent A Hero because that's what I'm playing atm and it requires per-pixel to get rid of some really obvious graphical glitches, but desu it seems to be an issue in virtually every game I try. For instance, I just tried Sonic Adventure 1, and it's an issue there on the title screen and while playing through the first action stage (Azure Coast). It's an issue when I tried starting a game of Canon Spike. Rez is a complete fucking mess. Basically if you could try playing around in the first stage of any of these games, whether or not you see any flickering or artifacting like that webm would answer my question.

Alternatively if you don't have any of those DC games, you could list something you do have and whether you have issues while playing with per-pixel on. If not, then I could just check (confirm) on my end that I do while playing the same game.

I think it's less a matter of which handheld you have, and how many handhelds you have. More than 3 is when it starts going from "I want to be able to play games" to "I want to collect handhelds"

>>10913127
Only when several handhelds occupy basically the same niche. It's more excusable if you got more because newer ones can play games the older ones can't or something. Like if you already have like a 35xxh and rp3+ but got the rgb30 for the meme screen, you've become a collector.

>>10913141

There has yet to be a concrete argument as to why Nintendo handhelds aren't magic.

>>10913170
They just want to play PS1 and GCN and stuff on the go. It's a valid complaint but yeah you don't really need them for general 2D stuff. I still think it looks weird on a vertical handheld personally

how do I set up a vertical mame game to automatically rotate in retroarch + the controls to the right analog/abxy buttons as well? using rg35xxh with batocera

Stock android interface immediately ruins any sense of a handheld feeling like a gaming device and just reminds you that you're playing a cheap phone with buttons lazily slapped on.

>>10913170
Wrong. 2003 Germany I thought there had to be a better way.
I wish I had sticks cruising down the autobahn playing Tetris and blasting Blackest Eyes through my MX-5's shitty stereo, it wasn't a better way in that I'd rather be drinking beer, it had to be something gameplay related.
I felt there had to be a better way so much that I now understand people who play one handed pokemon driving near schools; well without the nonce bit anyway.

Most people prefer WSCs modded, SwanCrystals vanilla or frontlit since their screens are good. Flashmasta is the only modern Wonderswan flashcart out right now. You do have to flash it but you can load up to 15 games so its alright

>>10913205
>Most people prefer WSCs modded, SwanCrystals vanilla or frontlit since their screens are good.
Alright, thanks for the help. I think I'll grab a SwanCrystal at some point and then look into a modded WSC if I really like the system since those go for like $180 when I can get a very lightly used SwanCrystal in box for like $80-120. I assume the modded WSCs require soldering, right?
>but you can load up to 15 games
Great news, I thought it was like the old school flash carts where you wrote to it once and had to deal with it like that until you wrote to it again.

>>10913141
That's the main reason I said 3, cause I feel that's about enough to satisfy all the niches.

-Big powerful handheld that's kinda bully but can do anything you throw at it
-Smaller low-mid power one that's good for throwing in your pocket and playing in a waiting room or something
-a fun meme/niche handheld with limited use cases but you personally find use for it

Can't think of any more you could reasonably want

>>10913183
There's nothing stopping you from installing a free frontend. In fact many android handhelds DO come with a frontend. Only thing stopping you from having that magic is learning actual setup

Anon, read that post again.

>>10912639
I guess this is why some people prefer the stick above the d-pad on horizontal devices, for Tate mode

Either that or looks like you're getting an RGB30/20SX

killer feature comparison
RG353V: 2GB ram
R36S: $27
RGB20SX: 720x720

winner: R36S

>>10913240
Read my post again, retard. An emulator set to not change orientation is going to display the game in its original orientation, and many Wonderswan family titles are orientated to play sideways. So your chinkheld is going to display it sideways and expect you to play it sideways. You fucking idiot. Setting it to not change orientation means it's not going to fucking change its fucking orientation.

>>10913213
This seems mostly accurate to me. I usually tend to collect the second two while I just use my tablet or TV stick for number one

>>10913248
No matter how you cope, it's still a pathetic experience and can't replicate the original just like when you try to emulate DS and 3DS.

>>10913251
You're the one coping here over your own self-admitted tech illiteracy.

>>10913251
nobody cares

>>10913251
It's the exact experience on any widescreen chinkheld, unless you're playing on a chinkheld that lacks two types on inputs on its left side, such as a d-pad and analog stick, but what fucking capable horizontal handheld doesn't have a d-pad and stick?

>>10913264

We just gonna have to wait for a WS clone handheld, anon-kun

>>10913264
Ideally stick should be above the d-pad for tate mode, either way though you won't get eight separate buttons the way you would on an og WonderSwan. Anon is at least partially correct in that the WS had an unconventional configuration similar to DS's second screen or Nomad's six-button layout (albeit the latter has already been surpassed by RG Arc imo)

>>10913276
It might work for some games but the WS has four buttons in tate mode >>10913205

>>10913279
My dude, flicking or holding an analog stick in one of four directions is going to give you the same level of input and control as the Wonderswan's four X/Y buttons, if not more.

>>10913281

>>10913284
Tried it on my X20 Mini, it does seem to work well. I guess it's a matter of preference then with the analog placement

>>10913302
Try to image holding it sideways in both hands, especially with the d-pad positioned in the middle of the device. I love the Miyoo Mini and Game & Watch keychains, which I can hold in two hands, but something like the RG28XX sideways would be impossible to use with both hands, unless your right hand was holding the back of your left hand and just wrapping the thumb around to press the Start/Select buttons awkwardly?

>>10913292
such small and precise hands!

>>10913302
Yeah but really looking at it and the WonderSwan, it just seems like a meme, like that one tiny Anbernig, is it even comfortable to hold it like that with what looks like to have basically 0 grip? The Russ method seems more comfortable unironicallly, his hands are just tiny and holding it tilted.

/vr/ already designed the perfect chinkheld for playing literally anything but everyone is scared of making it since they'll have nothing to improve upon at that point

When I was 11, in 6th grade, in 2016/2017, I tried showing off how I could emulate a mario 64 romhack on my Nexus 5x with my Xbox One S controller, I thought it was a revolutionary breakthrough on my end, and I thought I would look cool to my peers.

I would later sit by myself during a school dance, trying to 100% Bubsy 3D.

The mario 64 romhack was Super Releasio 64.

>>10913382
Honestly why hasn't someone tried to put a laptop nub/3DS nub in the middle of a d-pad? Theoretically it could not only work, but work really really well.

>>10913421

>>10912296
Shows who?

>>10913415
Mine's not the same, it's just a regular analog nub/circle pad

That one looks more like a proper circular d-pad like the Genesis or the og Retroid Pocket

Ah, I was more referring to this one here >>10912373

>>10913421
>>10913430
Seriously, I am starting to visualize utilizing analog nubs in ways no one ever has before. Imagine having full D-pad and face button access and control while also controlling analog nubs under both thumbs in the middle of both sets of inputs, never having to travel at all except to pause.

>>10913468
Imagine 4 nubs, 2 for sticks and the other 2 for face buttons and dpad.

>>10913468
Sideways DS/DSlite/DSi/3DS only works because you can hold it like an open book. Just holding the bottom part of the bottom half of a DS/3DS for vertical games would be awful.

>>10913468
>>10913469
Every button is a nub unless pressed

>>10913468
>>10913421
Sounds awful, you're going to be firing accidental inputs for both.
My brilliant idea is steam deck trackpads on the rear of a device in the vein of the vita backpad.

>>10913475
Are pressable/clickable nubs a thing? I've only tried a few from laptops, mice, and New 3DS units.

>>10913478
I fucking hate the Vita's back pad, always getting false inputs from just trying to hold the fucking thing comfortably and then can't reliably use the back pad when I intentionally want to, such as for L2/R2 buttons in some titles/ports.

>>10913479
holy faetus

>>10913481
What the hell was sony thinking with that one? They could've just put small l2/r2 buttons behind the dent where the shoulder buttons are so they won't be inline.

>>10913478
>My brilliant idea is steam deck trackpads on the rear of a device in the vein of the vita backpad.
Nah, put nubs there but give them smaller rear buttons like the elite controller and allow them to be switched out for wingtabs if the user wants. The steam controller rear buttons were great, if a little big, the deck improves on that but the small profile on the elite controller is still the best rear button setup. Although that one is aided by having a better ergonomic grip than a handheld. Nubs and smaller rear buttons seem right.

I see where you're going with trackpads due to how robust steaminput is with programming track swipes, holds & taps though. You could fit one or two trackpads on the rear of a larger handheld or controller but it's the kind of thing you don't wanna register false inputs on like the other anon said with the vita, the kind of thing you tap/swipe with the tip of your middle or index finger.
Problem with a trackpad there is that you're then thinking about nub placement too. Nubs are small so it's less of an issue than the classic handheld problem of putting an stick between the menu buttons and the dpad/face buttons.

>>10913481
>>10913501
Yeah, I hated it too, but I think the idea is there to have some kind of tertiary-level input delegated to the back of the device.

>>10913512
I'm thinking smaller trackpads rather than taking up the entire rear of the device to avoid that.
It's also very easy to just disable them when not in use and they don't compromise your grip on the system, tons of Vita games didn't even use the rear pad.
Nubs would work too, but I think you'd have to market around having a pair of nipples on your device, but yeah, similar concept.

>>10913501
You're going to feel embarrassed when future controllers use back touchpads

>>10913512
Alternatively you could put two little trackpads on the bottom side too I suppose, a little lower down for swipe, tap, double tap & hold programming. Kinda useless for vertical swipes but you want to primarily be using your index & middle finger to rear buttons first.
The ring finger is almost useless when it comes to rear buttons and mobility so the best you can do is have a pressure sensitive button built into the grip but you run the risk of deathgrippers pissing themselves off too.
>>10913519
>It's also very easy to just disable them when not in use
Yeye.
>Nubs would work too, but I think you'd have to market around having a pair of nipples on your device, but yeah, similar concept.
I think it's not so bad if they're in a fully loaded rear setup, twin regular press buttons, a grip button, nub & trackpad and nobody is gonna be memeing you on the nips.

>>10913501
They wanted to keep the round aesthetic, like with the PSP's shitty L and R buttons. While also somehow outdoing Nintendo with TWO touch capable parts while the 3DS only has one..!

god I still hate myself that I lost my N3DS (white NES version), couldn't find a single one in japan and even on ebay they are like $250 minimum before shipping, locally at least $350

It is really not a single place where to get those pico8 raspberry files other than paying on their official page? what the fuck?

>>10913530
I sold mine an NTSC-U N3DS XL for hacking and I kinda regret it looking back, I don't enjoy using the 3DS/N3DS XL without a grip so I shoulda just bought into the grip meme but I guess there were less 3d printers back then too.
Strange that the DSi XL was the best format for most games but the 3DS XL seemed too big, perhaps it was the wider screen that did it.

>>10913542
Googled it and found a direct link on r*ddit in like 30 seconds, you'd think they'd be throwing fits and being faggots about it yet the post was up for months, go figure. Anyway, search for the filenames of the required files.

>>10912471
ooo i know these are ridiculous as a value proposition but i like this one

the gba one is also cool but i hate the dmg one, i know the dpad is that size to make it the slightest bit more useable but it's so disproportionate it bothers me

>>10913556
Alright, that worked, I feel stupid now since I DID search the zip file name but not a singular file name, thanks

>>10913481
They should have the touchpad smaller and less wide while adding L2/R2 buttons and it'd be good, like pic related

Kek, it was on top of a brick wall bordering our neighborhood not even next to a house. Too high even for a kid to reach. My guess is somebody from the street outside placed it on the wall. I'll ask around but I don't think I'm going to find anybody playing GBA in 2024.

I broke out my SP recently and beat a bunch of games. I forgot how bad the ghosting was on the AGS-101 or maybe I never noticed it when I was younger.

No new ideas exist boy.
I was working on mini analogue sticks between the 4 diamond buttons in 2006-07. The thing was able to lower itself into the surface of the controller with a twist. Complete dead end ridiculous plan that we scrapped. It's a solution to a problem that doesn't exist.

>>10913707
Doing what? Playing with a GBA? I'm not, at least not right now. And I wouldn't leave it on top of a 6 foot tall brick wall (with no game). Maybe someone else took the game and left the console but why?
>>10913716
This is an AGS-001. Nothing fancy, just didn't imagine I'd find some random Gameboy on my daily walk. Thing is probably 20 years old now.

They're pretty good too, obviously the screen isn't as pretty but it apparently has less ghosting.

For sure. I still have mine from when I was a kid, hence why I had a charger handy.

Should I go back and leave it on the wall? Will the OG gamer return to reclaim it?

>>10913140
CUTE slop!

>>10913750
>Putting it back may be the right thing to do
Just as likely that someone will else who isn't the owner will take it. Best bet for returning it is probably printing out a piece of paper asking if anyone has lost their gameboy with a phone number or en e-mail address, that way you can at least ask the person to identify it by scratches or colour before you give it to them or put it back for them to pick it up.

>>10913758
GBAs don't grow on walls, someone put it there for a reason.
>>10913764
>Just as likely that someone will else who isn't the owner will take it.
That doesn't matter, what's important is that at least you aren't the person who stole it. It's double retarded to take it if you already have one anyway.

>>10913770

It does to the person who is currently short of a Gameboy.

>>10913770
>GBAs don't grow on walls, someone put it there for a reason
This is the explanation I need. Why would somebody who supposedly cares about their Gameboy leave it on top of a wall? With no game, and a dead battery? For me, I don't care. But I walk by, and see a random Gameboy. I just want to see if it works. Now I'm the bad guy.

>>10913582
>uncharged GBA SP with no game randomly outside with owner nowhere in sight
original owner doesn't deserve it, keep it. might have been stolen once already and left there by a crackhead who didn't know what to do with it.

>>10913776
>It does to the person who is currently short of a Gameboy.
I'm just saying what the basic minimum requirement of not being a retarded thief in this situation is. As long as your hands are clean and you did not steal the GBA, you are in the clear. Maybe someone else takes it, that makes them a bad person and does not reflect on you in any way. Maybe you go above the call of lack of action and put your paper there asking if someone is missing a GBA but guess what, someone who isn't the owner could still contact you and then you're an accessory to making sure the GBA finds its way to someone who wasn't its owner. This situation called for you to do nothing at all: the system was sitting there because someone put it there and you already own one so it isn't like you needed it for anything, it's your own fault you stole it and now your only justification is that someone else could steal it too if you left it there. You know what, congratulations on your new GBA. I hope that someday you realize what a complete dumbass you were for stealing it for no reason.

>>10913785
>steal someone else's property

That is generally how it works, yes.

This is some soiboi shit.

RPS2 is the next step from the TrimUI, somewhat from the RGB30 as well since there's no other 1:1 horizontal. Verticals are kinda fucked, there is no truly all around good chinkheld, you pick the one that stinks less to you.

What are you looking for?

>fellow passenger on a cruise leaves his Steam Deck just sitting on the bench not being used next to his luggage which includes several chinkhelds
>take it just to see if it works
Let me guess, you need more than that justification to take something?

>>10913794
maybe the game boy just gets left there to rot

I know if I forgot my game boy somewhere outside I would rather have someone else take it than it be destroyed by the elements.

>>10913803
What I'm looking for
>Good build qualify
>Comfortable
>Great buttons and dpad
>Good screen
>Good OS, either official or custom
>8h battery life
>HDMI and bt support is a plus
>Easily removable battery is a plus
>Doesn't have to be powerful, won't play anything past PS

>>10913806
You can speculate on what would have happened but there's no way to know now because you already took it.
>I know if I
It wasn't yours so what does your opinion matter?

>>10913812
Don't know about removing the battery but if you can stomach the 2S having a microscopic screen then I would check that out if I were you. I don't know much about the TSP but the other two are definitely not as good as an android chinkheld when it comes to battery life.

>>10913794
Do you not have a lost and found service in your country? If you find something in public, it's perfectly acceptable to take it if you give it to that service or return it directly.

>>10913796
I didn't steal anything. If you left your Gameboy on a wall just tell me where and it is yours.

>>10913813
it's fucking garbage, it's not like it was a wallet or a phone. I'm cleaning up the neighborhood from litterbugs, I'm doing a public service for free.

>>10913817
>if you give it to that service or return it directly.
How much do you want to bet that instead of doing that or returning it that anon will keep floundering trying to justify why he's morally in the right for taking someone else's GBA?
>>10913819
>you need to tell me in this extremely niche thread if it's yours or else I'm not giving it back
Literally all you need to do is take it back to the wall you retard.

Please shut the fuck up about this moral bullshit.

>>10913812
Sounds like it's the RP2S, unless you're one of those people who can't stand slabs. Don't think you're getting that much battery life out of it, but since it's Android it'll be able to idle and sleep properly.

>>10913826
>Literally all you need to do is take it back to the wall you retard.
But why?

Rate my setup

>>10913820
If it's garbage then you wouldn't be keeping it and spending all night justifying stealing some random gameboy. I thought /hhg/ couldn't get any lower than defending tripfags but here we are.

>>10913835
It's a 10 if you're having fun, anon

>>10913826
if you really cared about your game boy that you just left sitting outside like a piece of trash, littering in my neighborhood, then you can put up a missing poster and I'll see it and give it back to you.

>lost and found service
they just steal shit and sell it, better I keep it for myself than willingly fund some bozo's heroin addiction.

>>10913829
>please stop calling me out over literal nigger tier behavior
>>10913832
You could just own being a thief but it seems like you want to act like you're in the right somehow even though you aren't so if you want to actually be in the right, taking it back to where you found it is the very least you could do.

>>10913358
YOU'RE FUCKING NOT

>>10913842
>since I stole it, it's your job to
You know what, I give up. You are a piece of shit and hopefully karma takes its share from you someday.

>>10913849
you lost it, and I'm holding it safe from the elements, FOR FREE. if you really cared you would put some effort to find it.

>karma

>>step one: "mod" aka ruin a gameboy, usually destroying the original parts in the process
Just use one with an already broken screen dummy. Also install a battery mod.

Here is a real entry level phone. I don't need to lie about weird shit to prove it either but phones just ain't for gaming man. Where do I plug the controller in? There's no games. I can't play snake or tetris or java.
How do I load up some retro games? I wanna play some megaman and marios or maybe even pong...

>>10913861
That's not entry level, that's pure autism tier.

If GBA SP thief anon had a soul he woulda built a little house for it to pretect it from the rain and put it in a little tray of silica gel sachets with a sign asking for the owner to please continue enjoying their game.
but he didn't he robbed it and now some kid is going without their gameboy.

You are a monster. Do the right thing and return that retro handheld to its place of origin.

>>10913861
Nah man, it's an entry level phone from 2017. It's not a $300+ phone, it's entry level. It makes calls, it has an organiser, a phonebook and even extras like a camera!
but I can't figure out how to get games on it. There's a post weekly asking why I don't use my phone to game and I wanna game it up on this 2.4" badboy.

>>10913812
That's a lot of asks.
You're not gonna find one with a good removable battery but they are usually easy to get out and replace assuming you can find a battery at roughly the same size profile. Most are decent enough to have JST connectors, it's like 4-6 screws, maybe take out the shoulder buttons, don't break the ribbon cable on the screen and you're good to go.

>>10913871
>and put it in a little tray of silica gel sachets with a sign asking for the owner to please continue enjoying their game.
There was no game cartridge! And the console was dead...

>>10913871
>kid
Kids generally aren't 6 feet tall

>>10913882
>>10913884
Maybe the kid was with his da riding on his shoulders but he had to tie his shoelace and since he is 6 foot 4 he put the kid on the wall to do so. When he was changing carts or putting it away in his case when his dad came along and lifted him off the wall to take him home or go get some ice cream but he forgot the console or it fell and was discharged due to being lost.
There's a bunch of plausible situations in which a child could have lost their device, just because the console ended up atop the wall does not mean it was placed there by them.

>>10913871
I have a soul but I'm not doing all that. Including dropping the console back off on a wall outdoors. Naw.

>>10913898
>There's a bunch of plausible situations in which a child could have lost their device
It was more likely some manchild or a junkie

>>10913812
Yeah, you'll want Retroid 2S. I'd also recommend getting the official grip if you're gonna use it on TV (unless you'll be using a separate controller)

People complain about "small screen" but it's literally bigger than a standard Nintendo handheld screen, people just like to whine

>>10913898
Explain this.

>>10913936
>anon LITERALLY stole some kid's gameboy
Holy fucking kek this just keeps getting better

Imagine stealing a GameBoy and then inventing a story about just finding it on 4chan. In fucking 2024.

>>10913941
Imagine caring so much that you're still seething even after you said you were done lmao

>>10913936

>>10913948
Nta but it's pretty clear that whoever owned it didn't give a shit about it, look at how hard they fucked up the cover. At least a retro enthusiast would give it the love and care it deserves.

>>10913936
Why do all of the gouges look brand new, as if you yourself just did them?

>>10913957
Anon probably drew on it with pen real quick to watch the retards here sperg out

>>10913949
Well you seem to talk from experience.

>>10913954
>give it the love and care it deserves.
What it deserves is to be played. My SP is scuffed as hell. Plus you can always buy a new case, silver was the worst colour in any case.
>>10913957
Looks entirely consistent with this picture, seems like the previous owner was doodling on it>>10913687

>>10913957
I cleaned it off with alcohol wipes.

We didn't get the "magic".
Anons said that tendo devices were the only ones with magic and these posts have proved definitively that the magic is stealing a childs toy under the guise of preservation and giving it "love and care it deserves" aka mutilation.
These people are sick in the head.

I almost OD on the autism that this thread emanates.

>>10913295
>while having a perfectly fine old phone laying around.
Big if, anyway what are you using for the controls?

>>10913295
I can't find a fucking horizontal gamepad with the dpad on top.

>>10913985
Why would you want it on top if you're playing GC and PS2?

>>10913972
My guy, it was pretty clear from what anon said and showed that no one cared about that gameboy. It didn't even have a game in it, explain that.

>>10913985

really drove the point home there

apparently the rg35xx h has a nasty thumbstick bug
>"Hmmh... just noticed that the stick output on the H seem to snap and is not fully continuous when doing a circle. Is this a software limitation or somehow a hardware limitation?"
>"It's not an issue we can solve in software currently. There is speculation that it's possibly addressable if we get mainline kernel on here, but not a guarantee."

Not joking by the way, the sticks will NOT get fixed, heard that one before.

It really sucks kids are too retarded to appreciate normal controls anymore, they just want touch controls

>>10912464
Mine is great, just shut it off at night because sleep mode is shitty, but other than that it's the best handheld under $100 easily

>>10914370
Comfy, did he actually say that?

>>10914148
Only the lime colored shill does that.

>>10914164
It has been out for months and people only noticed that bow?

>>10913068
The Flycast core in RA also has per-pixel alpha sorting.

>>10912279
>>10913063
I'm >>10912459 and just noticed you use a RG556, that has a Mali GPU so that's probably where the issue comes from. I have an Odin Lite and that too has the same issue when using per-pixel alpha sorting, but as I said, turning on a shader on RA (any of them, even non-demanding ones) helped out. Odin 2 has an Adreno GPU so it should be fine, but you can try asking someone with an Adreno GPU to test it out (or your phone if it has that sort of GPU and is good enough). Worst case scenario, look up the issues page on Flycast's github and ask there.

>>10912694
It's not magic, you apply voltage to crystals that are wedged between two pieces of glass, the voltage forces them to become opaque because they all line up from the electricity kind of like iron shavings in a magnetic field.

Without voltage applied the crystals are all scattered to they don't look dark anymore because light can pass through them

>>10914384
Not really convinced if you gotta use a grip for it.

>>10914384
2S is, but the 30 is also cool enough to overcome its powkiddisms.

>>10914401
>>10914406
Pokemon Crystal doesn't use the sticks, you see.

>>10912858
Thankfully the AP can help us trim that down to only two steps.
>>step two: take photos for \vr\ and reddit
>>step three: never play again

>>10914161
The point it's that 4:3 is not that different than 1:1 either, but you niggers cum you brains out at the square ones because you don't need to rotate the entire system. The only legitimately bad thing there might be the d-pad, but who knows.
Also the real aspect ratio is 31:27 btw

>>10912251
28 days later, my Odin 2 is still somewhere around the world

>>10914009
1) that's where it fucking belongs
2) there is still an assload of d-pad centric games on those platforms, especially ps2
3) asymmetric sticks feels wrong for a lot of ps2 games
4) playing those 2 platforms is not the same as only playing those 2 platforms
5) that's where it fucking belongs

I've read about some people replacing them with the gullikits, but the problem persists, so it's like they fucked it up at the kernel level intentionally. do chinese players actually prefer snapping or something?

Time to post some streeeeetched gaming, to piss everyone off

The Vita 1000 case also fits Retroid Pocket 2S surprisingly well (minus the clips on the bottom).
