Silver is definitely going to be the most popular just because it's the only one that actually tries to look like an original SP.

He finally felt the magic

Complete handheld newfag here, wich one is better, the OG GBA or the SP one?

What are you playing this weekend?

>>10924495
I just bought this thing and it's hot garbage. Not as garbage as the deck mind you, but Russ is delusional or being paid.

>>10924526
There's not a single thing it does better than the Deck.

>>10924535
It has more high-end power but yeah, no way in hell I'd take it over a Deck.

>>10924535
>Better screen
>Works with non-steam games
>Can actually run new games without shitting itself

Best romset?

>>10924519
I beat AM2R and haven't decided what to play next. Might do another classic/romhack metroidvania, but I also kinda want to get into a genre I've never really played.

>>10924541
>Better screen
Too big.
>Works with non-steam games
I pretty much exclusively play non-Steam games on my Deck.

>>10924541
>>Works with non-steam games
What does this even mean? Majority of games on my Deck are non-Steam.

>>10924554
Some would argue the Deck's screen is already too big.
And yes I realize you can play non-steam games, but you're jumping through hoops especially for anything with EAC.

>>10924549
I see people recommend tiny best set: go! a lot

>>10924512
Og for feel. Sp for protecting and screen.

>>10924519

>>10924562
>Some would argue the Deck's screen is already too big.
I'm one of those "Some", yeah.
>And yes I realize you can play non-steam games, but you're jumping through hoops especially for anything with EAC.
All I do is "Add non-Steam game to library" and then enable proton, it takes like 3 seconds and requires zero brain power or effort. You could always just use windows on Deck instead if even that's too much, but that's a massive downgrade to me. Fair enough on EAC, I don't play multiplayer slop so I wouldn't know.

>>10924571

How about the hardware, is it the same?

>>10924541
Wow, another Deck hater turns out to be a completely clueless retard, nobody saw this coming

>>10924576
>>10924562
If you really want to play multiplayer cancer, you can dual boot Windows.

>>10924501
Wish they would use that metal ocean blue on every model, or just a plain black or white. I'd get the white one if it had black or white buttons instead the GB fuschia that's completely unrelated to the SP. Monkey paws all around

>>10924497
Yep, I'm thinking Anbernic won this time.

Craziest thing happened to me today, I was walking my dog when I stumbled upon this Analogue Pocket sitting on a 6ft tall wall. Boxed, brand new. Guess the previous owner didn't want it anymore. Anyway form factor kind of sucks cocks, the dpad sits in a gaping hole, the start select buttons are too flush with body, shoulder buttons suck. The other buttons aren't too bad. The cartridges could use a deeper slot probably. Overall I still like this thing but boy am I glad that I didn't pay more than 200 bucks for it.

>>10924508
good post

Could this be used to port N64 games to the Miyoo Mini?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywWwUuWRgsM

What is our opinion on the Powkiddy Pocket?

>>10924486
>- R36S (50$
currently $38, will be $27 again probs

>>10924576
Dual boot windows is the easy options yes, but I'd prefer not to have to jump through hoops to play my library when the Deck is advertised as a "console-like experience". Trying to get cracks and repacks to install correctly was too annoying for me.

Either way I'll stop this here since we're going off-topic and Valve fanboys are getting riled up.

>>10924541
>>10924596
ITS GONNA BLOW! INTERNET FIGHT!

>>10924637

>>10924627
Oh yeah and also the power buttons sucks dick too, who thought that was a good idea?

What made these so popular?±

>>10924637
Seems like the custom rendering engine needs Vulkan, does the MM have that?

>>10924595
Yes. If you care about gbc, dont get the micro.
>>10924640
>He ran
Kekaroo!

>>10924662
Don't think so

I liked schizos better when they did at least cursory reading on their subject, this new wave just spouts disproven-first-30-seconds-in tier falsehoods and then goes 'haha u mad' at civil posts, it's dull.

>>10924638
Would have considered it if didn't have sticks, no reason to buy it as an RGB30 owner now.

>>10924639
OP is about retail prices, which are out of date looking at RGB30 and RP2S.

>>10924662
Nope, and the Mini is very weak anyway. Does it even run the SM64 port?

>>10924649
Tiktok, if you're talking about handhelds in general.
If you're talking about clamshells, it's the final important form factor. There's no handhelds designs to make after this. Ambernic is just ahead of the curve and miyoo really has no good response left.

>>10924680
Nope still here, but not gonna get baited into derailing the thread by you fags.

>>10924649
People looking to re-experience their childhood. In short, consoomers.

>>10924686

That applies to the entire website

>>10924726
You can play those without having to waste money on chinknesium e-waste.

>>10924843
I will continue to use the one official handheld I have with a chink sd adapter. I'll never stop using my phone with chink usb-c telescopic controller. I still have and use my chinkheld in conjunction with the other shit and there's nothing the south koreans can do about it.

>>10924874
Whoa

>>10924519
I'm not, recomend me something.

Played with this thing for the first time in a while today. Good for some cozy GBA or Super Street Fighter II on SNES when I want to play for longer

>>10924552
I decided to try Super Junkoid on >>10918556's rec and it's pretty fun, I like the aesthetic which reminds me of Ib, and how interconnected the regions feel. I wish the SFX had been changed up, because it had originally put me off when watching a video of it, since it clashes a little with most other things being changed. You can tell you're playing Super Metroid, but they've changed a handful of mechanics to keep it interesting. Also, this map room replacement made me laugh.

>>10925047
That looks cute anon, reminds me a bit of Cave Story

>>10925052
It generally has more of a cursed dream aesthetic, so it was funny to see a room like that. The Chozo statues are grim reapers and there's cartoon gore here and there, one of the regions has you swimming in blood and surrounded by corpses, but it doesn't feel too edgy so far.

new muos is out for RG35XX H/+

>>10924486
Why don't you just buy and play on original hardware? Are you poor?

So wtf is max's problem? He at least hates the ktr-1 guy for abandoning anbernig, but he legits seems to have seething hatred for lao zhang (Unicorn) for no reason. With miyoo, its just drunk shitposting.

How is Master System and Game Gear emulation on the DS? (I have the lite model)

>>10925243
Same reason why I pirate old movies, it's just more convenient.

>>10925270
>>10925297
Sorry forgot the link https://www.zophar.net/consoles/gameboy/sms-gg/sms-advance.html

Very easy to use and it will work on some low-end handhelds that have a GBA option but no GG/SMS option

If miyoo came out with limited edition handhelds (Special color or brand collab) would you buy it?

is the Retroid Pocket 2S worth it over the rg35xx h?

>>10925338
yep.

>>10925338
it would be higher quality, have a functional sleep mode, be more powerful (I think this would only matter for N64/DC), have a better d-pad, have analogs that don't snap. if you want to play 3d games then I'd say yeah definitely get the 2S instead

>>10925287
I don't think I'm gonna have a good time

>>10924627

Where do you see this niche in 2 or 3 years?

I can't see much more out of this, especially considering the switch 2 is in development.

>>10925503
I'm hoping for a steam deck mini to blow out the halfassed chinkshit and save us from vulkanless arm linux systems and abandoned android emulators

>>10925243
Yes

>>10925243
If you want us to go into detail it's because the og hardware is quite frankly not very good. No battery, no backlight, and forced to pay for the games themselves (or a flash cart, which is still extra money). Combine that with the ridiculous reseller prices for any handheld at this point and it's just not worth it. As other anons have also demonstrated, even after proper IPS mods the screens don't look as good.

>>10925503
>>10925508
Completely different market. I personally buy handhelds for fun five minute minigames or at the most 16-bit titles, not full on modern console titles.

Look at what they need to mimic a fraction of an Anbernics power

>>10925523
How many of them can you buy at this point if it's just for mini games?

>>10925462
Good for what you said, but the device was kinda a disappoint sibce it took forever to come out.

>>10925523
>Combine that with the ridiculous reseller prices for any handheld at this point
What? I was looking at prices for random stuff and $100ish used for "Like new" GBAs is not a bad price at all. Same deal with SPs and GBCs. GBPs were also not that expensive and I haven't looked at DMGs.
DS Phat and DS Lite are dirt cheap with mobos for both sometimes going as little as $20 working meaning you can get a Chinesium shell + screen for $10 and have a working DS for $30, or just pay $40-50 for a working used one in good condition.
DSis are getting more expensive but that's mainly because of softmodding and even then last I checked it was $80ish.
OG 3DS are like $100-140ish, it only starts to get expensive when you go to N3DS systems or N3DSXLs, and if you buy N3DS from Japan (LLs) and don't care about breaking the DS functionality by region changing you can get them for about $120ish. 2DS are even cheaper because no one wants those.
PSPs are only in the $50-120 range last I checked.
Vitas are expensive now but that's because of Covid, and even then you can still get the slims for like $180 last I checked. The main issue with Vitas now are game prices being in the $100 range, not the system.
Wonderswans are going for $40-60 "Like new" used if you import, Colors are like $80, SwanCrystals are like $120.

Sure, if you consider the cheap AliExpress consoles as your baseline these are more expensive by 2-4 times, but come on now, these are official, working systems.
You also don't need an Everdrive for a lot of systems so unless you're buying a Wonderswan I have no idea why you think paying $20ish for a flash cart on older systems is insane. I paid $35 for an EZ Flash Jr. but could have opted for a $20 knockoff Everdrive v5 for GB and GBC. GBA is only $60 for an EZ-Flash Omega or $20 if you want to go oldschool with the Supercards. R4 knockoffs that work with all DS and 3DS systems are $20 or just get a Parallel if you don't care about Read/Write speeds.

>>10925503
>Where do you see this niche in 2 or 3 years?
Affordable 3ds clones will finally hit the market
Steam deck 2 (and maybe steam deck mini) will dominate higher end emulation

>>10925620
Who WILL be the first to try dual screen after aya?

>>10925610
NTA, but $100 for a game it is in fact kinda nuts considering they were half the price a few years ago. It was common to find this kinda shit at thrift shops for cheap. Hell, 8 years ago I got a good condition GBA SP for $20. Modern prices are batshit insane and I'm not gonna gaslight myself into pretending they're not just cause the market tells me it's normal

>>10925243
Because having a single phone sized device that can play basically every video game from Atari to Dreamcast with a 6 hour rechargable battery and an HD, backlit screen is better than carrying around ten pounds of worn out consoles that eat through AAs in like five hours

>>10925670
I bought tons of SPs in 2019 including 5 AGS101 models for like an avg price of $30 each. Also bought every other retro console and game I could find. I had a massive collection that I spent probably 7k on over the year and after the market exploded I made like 18k in profit from it all. Not interested in having a massive collection of that kind of stuff anyways now. Too much to deal with.

>>10924680
how do you get a pandora laptop?

>>10925647
Why would anyone care for dual screens? Unless you play DS/3DS games much more than anything else.

>>10925702
Long discontinued and the people who have em won't sell them or sell it for thousands. The same people are making the dragonbox pyra, but it's in severe development hell.

>>10925707
Chinks did way dumber gimmicks in thier handhelds before and I think the anbernic guy was making a ds hardware clone.

>>10925707
It wouldn't be too unusual to design a handheld around a few systems. Like that one handheld with a 3:2 screen that was only good for gba games.

I fell for the Odin 2 meme. For anyone else that has bought one from the official store, how long did it take to arrive?

>>10925647
Just get a Bi-fold Clamshell™. The screen can be massive while still being pocketable.

>>10925338
Yeah, it's pretty damn good, think it's fair to call it the most spotless chinkheld released to date.

>>10925352
>be more powerful (I think this would only matter for N64/DC)
More wiggle room for shaders, fast forward, run-ahead, Duck/Swanstation, some MAME the RK3566 and H700 fall short on.

>if you want to play 3d games then I'd say yeah definitely get the 2S instead
The d-pad is really good though, I'd actually recommend it even more for 2D. Or maybe that's just me getting burned by so many d-pads speaking.

People hate on vertislops too hard. Honestly, I think screens look bigger on vertislops compared to horislops, since having controls around the screen makes it look cramped and compressed, compared to how vertislops leave the screen area free and uncluttered. Personally, the 3.5” screen on the RP2S felt just a bit too cramped for me, but the 2.8” one on the Miyoo Mini works out just fine.

I mean, compare the RGB30 vs the RGB20SX. Literally the exact same screen, but don’t pretend like the SX doesn’t look bigger.

>>10925896
Do you just add -slop randomly or are you just parroting buzzwords you've seen on this site? Genuinely curious.

>>10926012
If you don’t preemptively insult both sides on any topic, people here will think you’re a shill.

>>10924519
Finally playing FF7 for the first time on the Ayaneo Pocket Air. Probably should use widescreen hacks but I hear games with pre-rendered graphics dont always play nice with them. Game is charming, music is great, nothing to complain about so far.Aeris was a ho wasnt she? She didnt have money but the first thing she did was offer Cloud a date for being her bodyguard

>>10926049
It's a common theory since 'flower girl' can be slang for hooker and she charges men different prices based what is assumed to be how attracted she is to them. It's been said that she isn't one however and is just a girl selling flowers because they are extremely hard to get in Midgar. She apparently asks Cloud on a date because he reminds her of her ex. The reasons for that are spoilers.

It doesn't honestly matter either way unless you feel like getting into shipping wars that have been done to death for like 20 years now.

I don't know why I still keeps watching Russ' videos when I only ever bought one retro handheld (RG351MP) plus a phone controller and I don't plan to get another one or a handheld PC

>>10924519
Motorstorm Arctic Edge was pretty good, played it on PSP a bit but the rubber banding gets really annoying

PSA for anyone looking into getting an Ally, especially for RMA coverage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pMrssIrKcY

TL;DW: process is a nightmare, threat of loss of storage and data, any accessories thrown away, RMA complaints ignored entirely and warranty voided over a near microscopic dent on the case, Asus wanted to charge $200 for a new case with a new screen plus shipping, immediately started a 5 business days countdown threatening to ship it back disassembled if unpaid. RMA complaints only addressed after a dispute, poor communication even after that.

SD card reader apparently still defective by design also.

>>10926305
Probably best to get a bestbuy 1yr warranty. They will cover it much better than ASUS.

Which color is best?

Can't decide between grey and white

>>10926323
Always DMG Gray first. It's the og color (even if it's slightly darker than an actual DMG)

>>10925896
I just really like the Game Boy design

>>10924649
$27, runs linux, it's a separate machine so i don't have to check cpu/ram usage, 2 microsds

>>10926323
Gray, and black are the only good ones.

>>10924486
I want them to make a proper handheld that looks like a fucking clone of the first GBA, not the gay ass SP.

The current one that does look like the original GBA is some shitty offbrand one that sucks all around.

Come on Anbernig, do it, and I will sell my RG353P since I hate the downward firing speakers.

>>10924495
Honestly, nothing beats Steam Deck. Why in the fuck would you pay over $500 for something when you can get a used Steam Deck LCD for like $300 to $400 if you look on FB Marketplace etc.

It's fucking ridiculous. Some of those "competitors" go up to like $600 to $800.

I am not paying that amount, period.

>inb4 muh "Steam takes a hit on every Deck sold" --> Yeah whatever fag, market should compete no matter what then

>>10924519
I'll probably stay in bed switching between a bunch of different ROMs that I'll play for few minutes before going to the next until I find a title that somehow sticks, and then I'll just play that until I finish it. I'm recovering from a tonsils surgery and it's the worst pain I've had, thank God for the pharmaceutical industry and all medications I'm taking, I'll play in comfort.

I've played a few matches on World Cup Italia 90' for Master System a while ago, good fun, maybe I'll play the entire tournament if I can't find any other title that grabs my attention, it's fun really.

>>10924639
Is it better than an RG351V or RG353V?

>>10926752
rk3566 2gb $80 vs rk3326 1gb $27

I posted in the previous thread about having problems running neo geo games on my rg35xx using garlic os.
Seem that pretty much every file I got, from bios to roms were fucked up in some way. After some reading it seems that neo geo roms are prone to failure if you don't get certain versions.
I downloaded the tiny best set, got the neogeo.zip file from BIOS and ROMS/NEOGEO and some roms and they worked. I can also confirm that even if the roms are ok they won't work if your rename the files, this didn't happen in any other console for me.
Just letting you know in case I'm not the only retard here.

>>10925610
Used GBA market is absolutely ridiculous but if you wait long enough, you can find local GBAs on FB Marketplace for low enough.

Even so, after doing all of the tedious IPS screen mod, it's not worth it since the sound chip is garbage anyway.

>loved GBA for a few games when it came out on the OG GBA and emulated it on the Win 98 / 2000 computer at times which ran just fine
> play Super Mario World remake again on it years later, realize how awful the sound is

Form factor for original GBA is absolutely kino, one of the best. It just suffers from shitty sound.

I agree with the other retard Anon that wants a Anbernic OG GBA

>>10926758
I meant in terms of performance, dpad, and overall software though my dude. How is it?

>>10926750
Feel for you bro. Hope you feel better soon. Literally just got a Steam Deck for my wife but also to play while I recover from back surgery in a month from now.

Feel better soon dude.

>>10926776
Thank you, anon! I hope your surgery goes well too, and that the Steam Deck can help you get your fun and comfort while you recover. I think I've never taken medication as much as I am now, hopefully during your recovery there isn't a lots of pain and/or your physician gives you stuff that helps, like mine did. It's a pain, but it's either do the surgery now or later when things get worse.

Cheers, anon!

>>10926774
>performance
rk3326 is 80% of rk3566 on paper, mostly in gpu, cpus are similar, so im guessing R36S will run less dreamcast games. they both run 2D games with preemptive frames perfectly
>dpad
i personally don't notice the diagonals issue. R36S has a stiffer membrane than R353V. if you're playing shmups you could map buttons to d-pad and vice versa idk shit just werks for me
>overall software
they both run linux running the same retroarch binaries in KMS (ie: without X or wayland)

Been a few days since I got the 35XX Plus to potentially replace the 353V.

Impressed by its d-pad, but also by how fucking horrendous the 353V's is in comparison. Not as loose, little shallower, no false diagonals. Pulling moves more reliably as a shitter at fighters.
Nice screen. The curved edge glass makes applying screen protectors stupid and its borderless nature leaves me worried it won't survive a fall, though it gives it flair.
Glossy face buttons suck and should be outlawed.
The shoulder buttons feel nice but don't change much in ergonomics. They're a little less protruded and have less travel than the 353V's however, so that's good for pocketing.
I'm a no sticks missile now, you can get by with sticks at the bottom but it's ultimately not worth it.
The DMG beige grey unexpectedly hit me with nostalgia for better electronics, photos always make this color scheme look bad. Also nice how its buttons aren't labeled, the others look tacky.
The speaker didn't get muffled by my grip as I thought it would.
H700 feels closer to the RK3566 in performance than expected. Still a farcry from what I'd want from a vertical, but Anbernic just makes shit products above this price range.
Charging with C to C cables works now or so I'm told, same old 5v2a however.
Stock firmware is crap.

I give it 6 magicals out of 10, CFWs needs more time in the oven, probably not worth the upgrade from 35XX or Mini until software matures and it goes on sale. Also careful you don't fall for the 35XX 2024 scam. Thanks for reading my blog and sorry for not being assed to take a pic.

>>10926457
Well, one of the advantages the Ally should have is wider warranty coverage outside land of the transfat, which is the problem here.

>>10926765
Arcade roms are all like that, you need to match the emulator's version. Been using FBNEO 1.0.0.3 Best Set on more powerful chinkhelds.

>>10926737
Powkiddy made an og gba clone that was supposed to use the same firmware as the trimui smart, but it sucks. The buttons are nice for a change, but they missed the mark everywhere else.

>>10926804
>probably not worth the upgrade from 35XX
I thought about upgrading because there were some things that bothered me about the rg35xx
>d-pad with accidental diagonals
Honestly I can live with that, has not been a problem in the games I've played
>non easily removable battery
This is a cheap device and I don't expect it to last forever, does not affect me when I play
>shoulder buttons
I'm convinced there's no way to make shoulder buttons enjoyable to use on a vertical

I'll just buy the TSP in the next sale.

>>10926868
Non removable batteries are retarded mo matter what especially on the higher priced chinkhelds.
>shoulder buttons
Rg300 did it right.

>>10926846

>>10926776
>Literally just got a Steam Deck for my wife
We all know the surgery you are recovering from is a vasectomy.

>>10926868
I would not be surprised to learn the original 35XX's d-pad was also better than the 353V's, fuck this stupid thing and fuck mumbling manlets on a payroll who covered up for it.

Thought about grabbing a TSP on sale but got cold feet over those dome switches, plus I already have too many horizontals.

>>10926898
No one has ever replaced a battery on their chinkheld before they replaced the entire thing. Nobody.

3ds is shit i refuse.

>>10926964
I hope you aren't suggesting for emulation

I made this image 6 years ago, it's even worse for the 3ds if you compare it to new handhelds that have 720p or better. you've got to be blind if you think 240p is acceptable.

And third, R2 L2

>>10926975
I'm not elated to give Brother Zhou money again, but there's just no option out there for a good d-pad on a vertical short of maybe the Mini if I am to believe word of mouth (sure don't at this point). Retroid won't do verticals either.

>>10927048
Bad ergos, impossible to use without grips d-pad, shit emulation support. XL didn't fix any of it.

Who cares about the special olympics, those two were the death kneel of homebrew emulation, they both suck.

>>10927091

1:1 is always an option with XL, also there are custom scalers out there for both DS and GBA that look at least a little bit better than stock

Well I've never seen anyone complaining about the MM+ d-pad, but it certainly has other issues.
Last sale was less than 40 bucks so couldn't hurt giving it a shot.

>>10927126

>>10927137
I never had any problem with aliexpress and most likely you'll know the full price including shipping and taxes beforehand.

>>10927185
I think they do, AliExpress is pretty safe anyway, if you buy from someone with thousands of sales and 4.5+ rating you are not getting scammed.
Just avoid sellers like store16373737 that opened a week ago and is selling way lower the regular price.

>>10927185
Just buy from a seller with reviews and lots of sales. Aliexpress is safe. I just got refunded $80 for an unrelated purchase that never showed up.

>>10927219

>>10926574
How many times are retards going to ask this?

>>10927126
To be honest, I was turned off by the Mini going for the same price as the Plus even more than the prospect of performance woes.

>>10927228
Can confirm, they'll snub you if you contact them before the delivery deadline has passed, but once it has and the package isn't tracked as delivered they'll refund you immediately.

>>10927048
>Elaborate how n3ds is bad
nta but the 3DS is unnecessarily bulky for everything it emulates, at least compared to other options.
Great for 3DS games, but it loses to every other option for anything else. The only way I could justify using it for emulation is if you already have one, because otherwise you're paying $200 (N3DS) to play SNES/PS1 worse than a $50 option (R36S).
Even an analog pocket would be a better investment at ~$40 more, and that's just unacceptable.

Does MuOS for the RG35XX H have syncthing?

>>10927198
OH NO NO NO POCKETXISTERS

>>10926964

>>10927105
The fact ps1 on 3ds still sucks compared to those shitty mips powered chinkheldsike the rg350/pocketgo 2 should say alot.

RG35XX or MM+? Both?

XX H bros how are we holding up

>>10927316
RG35XX+. The MM+ is nothing more than a redundant meme at this point if you're really wanting to get into the Reddit CFW community for it where you congratulate one another for downloading the latest version of OnionOS.

>>10927198
You're probably not going to bump the cartridge while playing but if you put it in sleep and put the pocket down on a hard surface you actually need to be careful about how you pick it up because picking it up by the bottom might result in one edge of the cartridge bumping into that surface and that can fuck it.

I shilled the A1 Unicorn for months in the end of 2023 and then 180'd completely when they revealed how fucking retarded their Xbox 360-inspired d-pad is. The worst part is they're using the same fucking d-pad on all of their handhelds, it's such a fucking joke. I doubt a single anon was inspired to get one due to my earlier shilling of the thing but I still feel bad that I ever had any hype for it.

>>10926457
Bestbuy exists in Canada now too. But yeah if you're in a third world country get fucked I guess.

>>10927316
OG RG35XX if you can get it; the 2024 one is a trap that doesn’t have GarlicOS like the old model does. Otherwise, get the Miyoo Mini+. OnionOS is objectively the main selling point of that device that puts it far and above everything else in its price range.

>>10927334
It's literally the Xbox 360's disc on a stick on a disc design, except it's restricted to a fucking + shaped hole so you can't even fucking do diagonals on it.

>>10927334
Huh, and I thought that was you changing your mind days ago. Anyway, seen those?

>>10927347
>>10927352
Nah that I was me, I was always hopeful even if I was worried. The cross gate does seem weird, but we can see he's hitting diagonals in these without issue so I think we're in the clear. Ofc we won't actually know until hands on impressions.

>>10927347
>>10927352
This looks so fucking awful even taking into account how badly the person is playing
I love that he attempts a houdoken while stunned

>>10927356
If they don't unveil it before the Cube launches I'm going to be disappointed.

>>10927358
>we can see he's hitting diagonals in these without issue
ExCUSE YOU?

>>10927198
The cartridge is obviously the problem here. The Pocket is a solid device.
Now take down this post

>>10927324
Honestly I'm liking it a lot, but I mainly bought it to play GBA stuff and earlier. Surprisingly I don't mind the bottom firing speakers as much as I thought I would.
It's still insane how close to perfect it is for me but Anbernig found a way to drop the ball with the sticks. If they fix those in a future update I think it'll beat RP2S in terms of being a budget horizontal with sticks for earlier systems.
Form factor wise it's a solid 8 for what I want from a horizontal pocketable.
Tempted to try out the RG28XX for the size but I'll wait for the software to mature a bit as the rotated screen shit sounds fucking annoying to deal with.

>>10927380
Skill issue. Half the time he's pressing punch at the wrong time or inputting while he's still in recovery frames. When I said without issue I just meant that the device itself isn't preventing him from hitting diagonal.

>>10927894
The meme's over, nobody cares about the Miyoo Mini or the Plus anymore and the A30 was dead on arrival with the super, cheaper 28XX releasing a day before it. At this point, Miyoo would be wise to cancel the Flip before it's a flop.

Do we have any RG Cubes and A1 Unicorns side by side for a proper comparison?

Ever since the RP4Pro, any time a new handheld comes out that I am interested in trying just for the form factor, I wait a week after it releases, and then I don't want to buy one anymore. Every time. Last one being the RG-28XX. Now that the 4 Pro does everything I could want all in one system, there's no reason to even keep up with what's coming out anymore.

They'd still get shit on, but they'd be forgotten quickly since they're smaller, unknown brands.
Also does the ROG Ally not have hall effect analog sticks? Even Ayaneo's shit has that, presumably to prevent problems that GN has.

>>10927048
NTA but the N3DS' problem for me are the lackluster screens, and the fact that the device is too thin to where its not very comfortable without a grip in certain games like MonHun.

>>10927931
not to sound like a shill but with how good onion is and the mini having just enough power to run all of ps1 and below, assuming it stays in production, it's perpetually an easy recommendation (and thus a sale on miyoo's end)

M17. Worse chip than the r36s, but still does ps1 just fine. It even has minui and some other cfw, but do not expect it to do psp/n64 despite using psp screens.

>>10927941
This but the Odin 2 for me. It's hard to find the appeal in any of these new handhelds when I already got the holy grail emulation device. At this point the only thing I might go for is a pocketable device like a flip, but realistically I would be throwing everything in my backpack anyways.

The next logical step for me are handheld PCs. I do have a laptop, but being able to play the entire PC library on the couch would be nice. Unfortunately I don't think pc handhelds are quite there. Having tried the deck, ally, and legion go I think it needs another 3 years to cook.

>>10928125
Why would you suggest something MORE expensive than the R36S when he’s specifically asking for bottom of the barrel?

>>10927492
You should try getting your news from places other than only /pol/ approved sources, fren. Canada is a comfy place to live as long as you stay outside the big cities where all the brown people migrate to.

>>10928135
It's always less expensive than the 6s. I see it for 27 at the moment.

>>10927810
The same company also made GB300, which afaik is basically the same but in vertical form factor

I'm probably the worst person to ask since I collect Famiclones, but there are several others in this category like GB-60A >>10927171, PMP IV, and X series handhelds. Aside from that, PowKiddy V90/Q90/Q20. All three run same firmware and can play PS1 games, albeit maybe not full speed in every game, but definitely playable, especially for 2D games.

>>10928156

The absolute state of the people in this thread.

>>10928132
I wouldn't say things are that bad for Handheld PC gaming. They're definitely better than they were in 2017, I think there was one GPD handheld around that time which was only able to run MGSV at 720p sub 30fps, just as an indicator of what it was capable of.
Things are way better now in terms of performance and options, especially with the controller friendly navigation on the 'Eck. The only major problem I can think of is battery life, which seemingly will never be fixed on Windows handhelds any time soon due to the sheer amount of bloat and inefficient APUs used. I guess it would also be nice too if they were more smaller devices like the Ayaneo Air at more reasonable prices and with better battery life, but I dont see that happening until 2027 at the earliest.

I should also add that 720p is a perfect 5x scale for GB games, and a very nice 4.5x for GBA, while 240p can't even do 2x for either of those

>>10928015
He turned himself into a fucking pickle

>>10928381
>aren't seriously playing pillarboxed AND letterboxed
/vr/ loves that shit, what are you on about? Integer scaling is always the way to go.

>>10928285
Are they gonna start charging ayaneo tier prices?

>>10928445
Speaking of ayaneo

>>10928449

>>10927454
"Uppies", lol.

>>10927948
>it's called the new nintendo 3ds
>decade old

>>10928439
Integer scaling gameboy on 3ds is top kinoshita

>>10928453
Great beauty does need no words indeed. If only they showed off what the rest of the console looked like. Is it seriously going to be slimmer than the Pocket S? That was already slim compared to the Pocket Air, they even had to make a grip for the Pocket S too. Guess they want that RP4 market, I'll never understand chinese user preferences

Getting kinda tempted to pick up a used Switch Lite and mod it. Taki has his OLED Switch Lite screens coming out soon and the overclocking potential seems good.

Is vertical really that bad? Should I cancel my og r35xx order and get the horizontal?

really don't want to spend 800 USD on a nib n3dsxl, but I really don't want to buy a used handheld if I can avoid it either. Some of the nastiest used merchandise i've ever seen are handhelds, like old controllers but a hundred times worse.

i've never owned a n2ds xl, are they as shit as they look?

>>10927963
So is that Odin 2's body with a weaker chip and a price drop? Could work. But not as much as a clamshell Odin would.

>>10928349
And it doesn't do DC or N64 reliably.

>>10928489
It's bad if you're gonna play shoulder button intensive games. You'll probably manage if you grew up on a Game Boy.

>>10928498
It's not the same body, it is smaller, lighter, and looks rounded almost like a VIta.

>>10928496
Just buy a Japanese one, they're region free.

>>10928508
The RG28XX plays DC and N64 better than the R36S does, that's for fucking sure.

>>10928496
So long as you order one you can see in photos beforehand there's low risk.
Just take it apart and clean it senpai. It's like any used item, if you can take it apart, do so, clean it and be happy.

>>10928520
Yeah, and still doesn't get there for most games, unfortunately.

>>10928525
I'm sorry to call you out on your retarded bullshit, but what are some titles more intensive than Shenmue, Crazy Taxi, Bloody Roar, and Dead or Alive 2 which all run at console speed?

>>10928527
>I-it doesn't play Phantasy Star Online Volume 2 online through the PC Blue Burst servers...!!
Seriously tho

>>10928520
>>10928349
>28

>>10928527
Power Stone which I just tested today on my Plus and was shy of fullspeed. Or MvC2 dying a bit on certain assists and supers.

>>10928532
Yes? Are you not aware that the RG28XX is literally a better New RG35XX because of its form factor?

>>10928527
Also, I very much doubt you got Crazy Taxi and DoA2 to run fullspeed, that's hard on better chips.

>>10928548
>literally a better New RG35XX because of its form factor?

>>10928540
Fair, I can see assists fucking the frame rate.
>>10928550
Nah they're golden. Soul Calibur does have some stutter though during cutscene grabs/throws/where the camera angle suddenly changes.

>>10928548
Wait, so the fucking 28XX is the Anbernic Flip just in a horizontal form factor? Why would anyone get the 28XX then and not the Flip??

>>10928582
Yes, the New RG35XX, The RG28XX, and the soon to coom RG35XX Flip are all identical in performance with the only difference between the three being the form factor. And the 28XX has a 2.8 screen opposed to the 3.5 inch screen the other two have.

>>10928582
Heard it pulls 10h of battery life maximum as opposed to 8h on the 3.5" models.

>>10928597
Makes sense considering the screen is what eats most batteries on devices, so a smaller screen should use slightly less battery.

>>10928548
>RG28XX is literally a better New RG35XX
The screen is too fucking small

>>10928603
Wifi/online connections for Android games rape batteries more than any screen use.

>>10928513
Got a pic? How big is the screen?

>>10928517
the only downside to the japanese models were that if you changed the language it locked you out of the eshop right?

so now that nintendo killed the eshop, there is really no downside to the japanese models yeah?

>>10928523
i might end up having to do this, but i'm never confident in my ability to deep clean.

>>10928639
see
>>10928285
It's not officially revealed yet, this is just the clearest teaser we have

>>10928640
No, you have to install custom firmware which would lock you out of the eShop to change languages. Yes, that is no longer an issue in modern times because people put CFW on their 3DS anyway and the eShop is dead.

>>10928641
The, "1100 nits" is why they said, "what the fuck", not the image. Because "1100 nits" doesn't mean anything in any first world country.

>>10928672
so true bestie they should use candela per square metre

>>10928675
No seriously, just state its luminance.

>>10928679
they did

>>10928672

>muos v11 is out

>2ds > 3ds
Feels cheap and 3D is cool.

>>10928016
I paid less than $40

>>10928716
>confessing you yourself did not know what a nit was and had to Google it
If you already knew, it would have been faster to have just simply stated what one is. But now we all know you didn't.

>>10928797
peak nitwit behaviour

New 3DS > New 2DS > New 3DS XL > 3DS XL > The shitty launch 3DS models > The cheese wedge 2DS

>>10928805
>nitwit
Pun appreciated, your redemption ark is complete

>>10928016
Literally nobody is buying a 3DS to play SNES games, you're thinking of the PSP twenty years ago.

>>10928805
>nitwit

>>10928797
The argument wasn't if I personally knew what a nit was, the argument was that nits "doesn't mean anything in any first world country". I didn't even have to type the word "nits" in for nits to come up, I just asked "unit for measuring a screen brightness" and that's what every resource said.

>>10928016
Cope
>>10928805
Hope

>>10928805
Huh, clever

>>10928806
>New 2DS > New 3DS XL

New 3DS XL is the best model.
Anyone who disagrees is just being a contrarian faggot.

The 3D effect is great on the larger screen.

Is there a way to get a speedrun timer in retroarch on a vita? Thought it could be fun to try

>>10928932
Is it worth getting over a new 2ds xl? Mine's working fine but I am kinda curious about the 3d

>>10928942
Yeah. I had an original 3DS and shit talked the 3D like everyone else. N3DS adds face tracking that gives you more viewing angles.

But what nobody talks about, is how you have to hold the 3DS a certain distance away from your face or you get a double image. The original is just too small to want to view from that distance. But with the XL the viewing distance is right in the sweet spot.

3D adds more to my enjoyment than a higher resolution would. It's especially cool in Mario kart, 3D Land, A link Between Worlds, and Dead or Alive.

With Red Viper we got the ultimate retro reason to go for the n3DS version over n2DS.

How's the verdict on the TSP after they fixed it? Seems to me like it blows everything else in the <100 bucks range.

I just want a rg351v with no sticks and a touch more grunt. Are any of the new anbernics the same form factor or are they all smaller?

>>10929031
The rg35xx plus?

>>10929026
>it blows everything else in the <100 bucks range.
it sure does anon
you could say its a pro

>>10929043
Nice. It looks a bit smaller though. Also whats the difference between the 35xx (2024) and the 35xx plus? They look exactly the same. The plus just has has wifi? Idk I can keep up with this shit.

>>10929026
2S is just on the cusp of that, otherwise sounds like it.

>>10929031
They're smaller, OP links are there for a reason.

https://retrosizer.com/?rg-351v:0,0&rg-35xx:7,10

>>10929057
35XX 2024 is a shameless scam where they sell you the new internals with the old casing they can't get rid off for the same price as the proper 35XX Plus.

>>10929063
Thanks anon. Sorry for asking to be spoonfed, like I said I don't keep up with this shit, its the first time I've really looked since buying my 351. Its a shame the 35xx looks way smaller that the 351v. I wont be able to hold that thing comfortably. It would be near perfect otherwise.

>>10929063
The 2S is twice the price including shipping and taxes.

>>10929083
What's the issue with the sticks? Are they too comfortable?

>>10929031
Not the answer you want, but probably the Analogue Pocket. The original Retro Pixel was also about this size. There's also the PiBoy DMG but that one still has the stick, unfortunately

>>10929083
Understandable, youtube reviews are all disinforming shills and the only way to learn this shit is digging deep into reddits and discords, dissecting feedback and uncovering quirks.

Verticals are at an awful spot because there's this misconception consumers will give companies shit for not placing sticks on higher costing ones, plus there's a generalized disregard for quality and engineering on anything larger and more powerful than the $50 bracket (probably because they don't sell nearly as much), as briefly mentioned in my driveby review of the Plus: >>10926804. For example, I'd love to grab a RGB20SX for its 4 inch 1:1 display as I already know that screen from my RGB30, it's fantastic and a perfect fit for GB, but it's ruined by sticks with even less spacing than Anbernics get and Powkiddy d-pads are less than stellar. The RG405V has a 4 inch 4:3 display and a reasonably powerful chip that lets you play just about anything short of Saturn, PS2 and GC with varying results, but it's ridiculously huge, has sticks and it's layout has such a chinese, generic, wasteful feel it hurts my soul. Who leaves start and select below sticks when you have a mile of empty space to use?!

>>10929086
I got mine for around that price from Ali taxless and shippingless, but fair.

>>10929179
thicc handheld

>>10929173
>that thing on the right
Jesus Christ.

I swear, every other time I peek into 35XX H discussion there's a new complaint about the sticks. What was Anbernic thinking?

>>10929194
What kind of person spends his time discussing chink handhelds in discord?

>>10929204
It's basically tech support and news on CFW development. The alternative would be barely coherent, entirely tech illiterate ESL hour at leddit, that shit is grim.

I don't like it, but unfortunately that's how Web Z.0 goes.

>>10929214
>Web Z.0
heh

>>10925503
When the Switch 2 drops people will just transfer their accounts and libraries to it. Take their switch 1s offline (from Nintendo network at least) and install cfw with absolutely zero hesitation. How is Switch homebrew for emulation by the way?

>>10925780
Imagine my shock.
4 working days.
I did get the max model. Could be they are struggling with the cheaper models.

>>10929173
I had a piboy dmg. It was actually pretty decent but the screen sucked ass.

>>10929204
Anon I ...

>>10929264
Mediocre. And hacking a modern Switch requires modchips.

>>10929264
>Take their switch 1s offline and install cfw
NOPE you can only do that with 2017 models
