/vr/ - Retro Games

Top discussions include the Odin 2 Mini fucking up the d-pad placement entirely making it a piece of shit poorman's Vita, and how the Anbernic RG35XX SP battery is a ticking timebomb with how it's exposed to the main chip. After all of these months/a year of waiting for these clamshell SP clones they're all cancelled/flawed.

Threadly reminder about new open agb firm border support

>>10936838
sp sisters... did we lose?

>>10936846
There is 0 proof that the battery placement is a problem

>>10936843
I just used the mGBA core for this back when it was relevant. But now I don't use my 3DS at all.

>>10936851
There is no way that was anywhere near full speed. Open agb firm is on the other hand always relevant because it's native GBA mode, not emulation, therefore it's literally perfect.

>>10936846
I'm sure it'd be the easiest "mod"/fix to just put some heat absorbing material in that huge fucking empty space, they likely only have that huge gap because they were lazy with their solution for how the battery would attach to the PCB, going with a cable instead of a proper soldered strip that a normal phone battery would just click into/against. Still concerning though, and we have no idea how long the hinges will last with time. Give it four months or so before buying one yourself to let other people test them out and give their unpaid opinions.

>>10936843
As a sprite artist from twenty years ago, that e in Nintendo bothers me so much. But it's still infinitely superior to...whatever the fuck THIS is.

>>10936850
>there's no proof
Using the battery as a heatsink has never been good practice, explicitly because it increases strain on the cell and can lead to premature failure. Just because it hasn't happened within the first 2 days of release doesn't mean there's no cause for concern.

>>10936856
>There is no way that was anywhere near full speed.
You underestimate the N3DS. It worked just fine back when I used it, but like I said I've moved on as most people have.

>>10936856
>>10936865
Doesn't the 3DS natively emulate GBA titles flawlessly, they just made the feature exclusive to "Ambassadors"?

>>10936865
Anon I have an N3DS XL, I know that the GBA emulation on it is dogshit unless you are fine with 15% of the frames being dropped. I have a Steam Deck and a nonbinary GameXir for my phone but I still use the N3DS for that native GBA mode. It might be placebo but I feel like I can feel the nolag on the 3DS compared to emulation.

>>10936843
Looks like shit, my dude.

>>10936871
Ambassador VC titles, custom VC titles, and open_agb_firm all play GBA games natively on the 3DS.

>>10936871
Yes, it is native and was exclusive to ambassadors, but you could make your own ROM injects for years. The problem with that was that the brightness is stuck on some medium setting and there is no way to extract the saves, plus you have to make a separate fucking inject for each game.
open_agb_firm on the other hand allows you to pick from a list of roms, you can access your save files, adjust the brightness during play, and you can use a border when in 1:1 scaling mode

>>10936874
Use another border then

>>10936872
It could be placebo, 3DS has about 16ms more latency than real hardware due to framebuffer capture. An emulator can have the same latency as that but only if it's correctly configured.

>>10936871
It does, but it's inconvenient to make 20+ injects when you can just drop a folder of ROMs on your SD card.

>>10936872
Skill issue, sounds like.

>>10936850
Yeah man, who says it’s dangerous to dump all the heat a processor generates into a lithium battery? It’s fine.

>>10936880
>It does, but it's inconvenient to make 20+ injects when you can just drop a folder of ROMs on your SD card.
open_agb_firm is just as native and you can pick a rom file from a directory on your SD card

>>10936881
It doesn't touch the battery, that's fake news. There's space between them, and air is an excellent insulator.

>>10936884
With a brand new battery, maybe.

It's been a while since anybody reported a broken screen ... China is evolving.

>>10936883
Yeah I'm sure it's great. But I don't use my 3DS anymore.

>>10936887
This could very well be due to dirty fingers during assembly, I've had one chinkheld with similar issues, disconnected and cleaned the connection, and it worked perfect since. But even if cleaning and re-inserting the screen's connection doesn't work, Miyoo is good for one thing and that's replacing screens.

Hold on everyone, I got an idea.
Miyoo next release should be a home console.
Literally everyone loves Onion OS, take out the cost of the screen and battery, they cold sell it like hotcakes.
If it had a couple of USB ports, wifi and bluetooth I'd certainly buy one.

>>10936896
could work if they provided the hdmi cable.

>>10936896
Plug and play shit is dead and done with now, especially with mini PCs being the size of a fat USB stick and out performing phones that can wirelessly/bluetooth connect whatever Xbox or PlayStation controllers you already own.

>>10936896
Literally no point unless the system can physically play at least real GB/GBC/GBA family cartridges, which I have no faith in Miyoo being able to do.

>>10936838
Where was the battery located in the Gameboy Advance SP?

They should have made an Odin 2 Flip instead. The Mini seems like it pleases no one at that price, not even Vita fanboys since the d-pad isn't on top.

>>10936910
>play at least real GB/GBC/GBA family cartridges
No sane person gives a fuck about this

>>10936920
>No sane person
Enter: the eternal anal logger.

Oh my god it's not going to do shit, stop pretending you understand jackshit about hardware.

>>10936920
GBA is so underrated it hurts me.

Anybody living in a first world country already has 50 HDMI cables lying around their house going unused.

>>10936910
>literally no point to a home console for connecting to a TV unless it can play all my handheld games
I wish I could explain to you just how retarded this sounds but I don't think you'd ever understand.

>>10936956
Are you on fucking crack m8

>>10936957
>Anybody living in a first world country
haha

>>10935545
So is your reading comprehension garbage or is it one of those "I'm merely pretending to be retarded" things? Lets continue it in this thread I want you to keep wasting your time replying because I called your toy overpriced.

>>10935568
>RG405M
Ugly and only retards want to play anything beyond PSX on a tiny handheld screen.

>It's funny because out of all of Anbernic's RK3566 models the RG353M is the shittiest one.
Best handheld form factor and layout.

>>10935574
It's not overpriced at all, I got it on sale and it's their best device. Everything else feels worse, looks worse, or costs more and plays games I don't need to play. RG353M is perfection.

>>10936962
Yes but what does that have to do with anything

>>10936971
If you live in a poor shithole you don't belong on the internet. Log off and go till the fields.

>>10936941
I'm sorry, but the general age of people on /vr/ grew up with and still own their cartridges from when they were kids, something before your time.

>>10936973
No Nintendo handheld has ever been """underrated""" they're literally all monumental successes with millions of people across multiple generations with nostalgiaboners for them.

>>10936949
With how warm the RG35XX-H and New RG35XX get playing DreamCast, N64, or PSP, the battery placement of the RG35XXSP is going to fucking FRY that chip that's 4 mm away from it.

>>10936976
Nice LARP but people who still own their childhood carts play them on the original hardware instead of going in threads about emulation devices and talking about hypothetical Chinesium consoles to play them on.

>>10936979
>DreamCast, N64, or PSP
Oh sorry I forgot there were retards that buy these 2D console devices to play shit that has no business on a 3 inch screen.
>b-but muh PSP
I wouldn't play that shit on any screen ever made.

>>10936972
>Lets continue it in this thread
Holy fucking shit, can you not? With everything to discuss about the current handhelds releasing, there is no room for you to throw your little impotent tantrum and continue shit that's already been laid to rest, you unsupervised little snot-nosed spergalerg.

>>10936949
I'm saving this for future reference shill-sama.

>>10936981
I'm sorry, you'll have to link me to where I can buy that GBA-to-HDMI cable for my modern television that was made back in 2001. I never heard of it until you claiming it fucking existed just now!

>>10936987
>t-tantrum
Nah that's you because I called your toy overpriced. I'm laughing and will enjoy shitting up another thread full of you autists because you lack the self control to ignore me. :^)

>and continue shit that's already been laid to rest
Says who? Because you got the last word? Sorry I don't live on 4chan. I eat sleep and go outside. Not my fault the thread started fresh while I was away.

>you unsupervised little snot-nosed spergalerg.
lol you're so emotional.

Is this card safe to use? Came with my V90, I thought they only shipped with unbranded ones.

>>10936995

If it's not a samsung or a sandisk it's unbranded.

>>10937001
Maybe if you made better decisions in life you'd afford a house and have room to keep things instead of never owning anything and coping with it by using the hoarder buzzword.

>>10936981
I can't connect any if my original hardware to my tv though, unless I hook up my GameCube and GBA Player and suffer the rancid anti-aliasing the GameCube outputs? Even the Super Game Boy on the SNES looks better than the fucking shit the GameCube does thanks to this AA shit being incompatable with hidef tvs. I just wanna play my GameBoy games on my big screen, clean and clear.
I'd rather have a little plug n play console that I can just insert a game into and play on my tv without all the setup, bulk, cables, and shit output.

Thanks, it protects my childhood GBA which I only fixed last year from any new dust or damage. As a retarded child I thought it would be cool to make my GBA yellow by... spray painting it yellow. At least I had the smarts to fucking dismantle it first and not gunk up all the hardware.

That's because they're meant to play on a handheld screen larper. People who grew up with those games don't need them on a TV. Nice ebay haul though.

Imagine thinking chinkhelds aren't a common fire hazard. It's the main reason people were pissed at Anbernic for making the original RG35XX battery sealed within the shell without a proper battery cover for every other device of its size. Even the basic bitch cheap ass famiclones have battery covers so you can get rid of/replace that shit.

ZPD on actual suicide watch as they were so confident about their second and third chinkhelds only for the AI Unicorn to be a fucking laughing stock straight out the gate. As far as all these 1:1 handhelds go, the A1 Unicorn is the second weakest hardware-wise and by far the most expensive one of them all, even more expensive to get than a fucking LG Wing.

>>10937148
>They actually used their disc on a stick on a disc in a restricted + hole design from the AI Unicorn on their two new handheld designs
>GKD facing bankruptcy because the Pixel wasn't as popular as the Miyoo Mini and their partnership with ZPD has raped their resources
Aaaaaaahahahahahahahahaaaaaa

Meanwhile, speaking of laughable failures of new companies starting with a 1:1 handheld trying to chase the popularity of LG Wing, Sugar Cube has basically quietly cancelled ALL of their handhelds except for the retarded vertical Analogue Pocket clone with the pointlessly rotating 1:1 screen in hopes it can make them break even.

Nobody cares what you doubt, literally the only reason why anyone has ever heard of this company is specifically because they announced this retarded 1:1 rotating screen.

All we can lose is time waiting for proper products and be thankful when the shit ones are exposed before any of us buy them, and if spent appropriately, that time will be spent enjoying retro games on the device we currently have. Even if it's a filthy zoomie using his iPhone to emulate for his first time.

>>10937185
I remember this. The screen rotates literally because they couldn't figure out how to rotate the screen through software so they just run everything as is and let you physically rotate it using some slider-phone pivot.

Why is the DS games lagging in the trailer but the PSP games running smoothly? Did they fake the PSP footage?

>>10936961
>>10936956
The dude was talking about playing physical carts, not just roms. You guys need to work on your reading comprehension.

why don't chinks make more like this?

>>10937207
The entire trailer is CGI renders, they could impose/insert any footage they wanted to. Which makes it hilarious that the DS footage has so much slowdown kek

>>10937207
Its harder to emulate DS games than PSP games properly.

>>10937209
Literally because of investing in companies who make shit like this
I really liked GKD a lot and a shame they shot themselves in both feet in such quick succession

>>10937213
It literally is not, you lying asshole. DS is easier to emulate than Nintendo 64 is. PSP is harder than DreamCast.

Oh gosh

>>10936979
The RG35XX H (and the RGB30) has the exact same battery-over-CPU design. It's stupid but it's not new.
With how much those two have been shilled, you'd expect at least one reddit post about how their chinkheld burned down their collection shelf, but we haven't seen that. I don't know enough about hardware to call it "safe" but I don't think it's as big a deal as many are saying it is.

>>10937224
I got a 360 on my 5th birthday

>>10937225
It was stupid with the RG35XX H and it's stupid now with the SP, and if Anbernic went with analog sticks they would likely have used the RG35XX H's shitty sticks on the SP too.

>>10937227
>he never knew better
Even sadder.

>>10937225
Wait, the RGB30 has no plastic between the battery and the CPU?

>>10937225
>With how much those two have been shilled, you'd expect at least one reddit post about how their chinkheld burned down their collection shelf, but we haven't seen that.
Because of us don't fucking regular Reddit, let alone visit it at all. Anon saying redditors are better than zoomies wasn't a claim that redditors were liked at all. Just not as hated as zoomers.

>>10937239
Somebody could tell a Redditor that they're a 1/10, but upon hearing someone else is a 0/10, the Redditor will light up and chuckle a, "So I'm at least infinitely better than that guy, hmmmmm?"

Wow, there are a lot of newfags shitting up this general.
I know it'll get better in week after the hype dies down but I've never seen this many they/thems gathered on /vr/

>>10937216
Your comparisons are way retarded, I remember how early days DS emulation would always be laggy, sounds buggy and would have a TON of issues unless you had the right options toggled, probably something to do with emulating two screens at once and linking them together in real time.

Skibidizoomers don't know how good they eating.

I remember people being banned and warned for arguing in this thread a few months ago, and their arguments were on topic. now look at this place kek

>>10937196
but why isn't it 4:3? Or even 16:9 so the rotation it more impactful?

>>10937258
I remember when people were banned for racism for saying chinkheld

>>10937239
I know most don't, but there are people in these threads that repost stuff from discord or reddit (or baidu or wherever else). I'm just saying we'd probably have heard if these things were exploding. I don't know what reply you're referring to about redditors vs zoomers.

>>10937251
What are you even talking about, "I remember how early days DS emulation would always be laggy"? On fucking what? The early days of what?
Because "The early days of DS emulation" was fucking flash carts like the R4 and CycloDS, and outside of sometimes having too-simple UIs for the cards, the games ran fucking flawlessly unless you had a shitty ROM file. DS emulation always ran great on PCs outside of new DS releases requiring a few hours/a day or two to be unlocked and pirateable whether that meant patching and releasing a patched ROM or releasing a firmware update for your flash cart.
If you mean DS emulation on chinkhelds, what the absolute fuck does that have to do with anything because emulating PSP on chinkhelds had ALWAYS been a larger struggle than emulating DS ever fucking was.
So what are you even lying your retarded ass about, here?

Shut up, seriously, just shoot yourself in the face faggot, Wii was easier to emulate perfectly, Gamecube ran pretty well on Dolphin, N64 was a piece of cake that you could do it on almost a potato, Dreamcast was basically on PSX level of emulation, those things just worked including PSP.

DS was always choppy and laggy.

Skibidzoomers who don't know nothing should be just permabanned out of retro discussions.

>>10937306
I was running DS games flawlessly on my computer YEARS before Mystical Ninja Starring Goemon could finally work properly on N64 emulators, you demonstrably lying little piece of shit. Next you'll say your dad worked at Nintendo.

>>10937313
Your computer was a piece of shit $250 mini laptop then.

>>10937306
...DS emulation is easier than N64 emulation. Having two screens means literally nothing outside of some games that specifically used the space between the screens looking wonky pressed together and none of that would have complicated anything concerning performance or running. Why are you lying about this?

>>10937225
The reason you never hear stories is because chinkheld enthusiasts are always buying the newest thing and replacing their hardware every year, if not even more frequently. Battery issues are never mentioned because we don’t use our devices long enough for those problems to arise.

>>10937317
>Why are you lying about this?
There's a form of high functioning aspergers where as you talk to them, especially if they're young, they just convulsively lie and describe what they're imagining as you feed them ideas from your side of the conversation. I've worked with a girl who was 22 at the time and like this, it was impossible to hold any conversation with her about anything because she assumed herself to just magically be an expert on every topic, fabricating whatever bullshit spilled into her head as she tried to think of the topic. It's like a broken AI script but in a human's body.

You can't even give her the benefit of the doubt that she might be confusing some show she think she watched, she's just straight up vomiting lies because that's how her actually retarded brain thinks socializing works.

>>10937317
>>10937327
He could be very well just confusing having problems with DS emulation with him not enjoying using a mouse for touch screen controls.

>>10937348
He specifically argued that DS emulation would sputter and fail because having two screens made it too complicated to emulate properly when that's never been true, unless he truly was trying to play on some fucking potato. Don't give grace to blatant bullshitters.

>>10937348
If he meant the touch controls weren't what he wanted until he could finally emulate DS games on a device with a touch screen, he could easily have said so.

>>10937282
You claimed 4 comes before 1.
He corrected you by stating 1 comes before 2, and 4 comes after 3.
You then sperged out unable to understand what 2 and 3 are doing between 1 and 4.
Fascinating. Could you share with us what country you're from by any chance?

PSP and DS emulation have been viable on these handhelds for years, and now affordable under $70 this year.
What are you even attempting to try to talk about, here?

Since Sega doesn't want to do it, I can see something like a knock off Tamogatchi chao edition become viable.

the core is actually pretty cute
for tama shit i prefer the actual hardware though
i prefer to keep my digi pets in their packaging

i dont think digipets count as "handhelds"
as they only have ONE "game" on them

The worst part is we won't see a good FPGA handheld for 5 years at least because that garbage captured all the redditors who don't even understand what FPGA is and that most of the cores are literally just ports of existing emulators.

So... does anyone here have any experience with using tablets as a handheld, with a controller to essentially make it into a Steam Deck or Switch? This looks like an interesting setup, especially as it can be used for multiple things due to the form factor, connect it to the TV and it's a console, go for the controller and it's a handheld, kind of... is this as good in practice as it sounds in theory?

I'm interested in getting a tablet to draw digital and stuff like that, since it's my main hobby apart from video games, so having it double as a sort of handheld with a big screen would be a bonus.

>>10937578
There's an acutal usb-c controller for tablets and its pretty good aside from the connector being on the left. Bsp's are decent if you don't mind the extra input delay, but some of them are unwieldy.

Diddy Kong Racing, Viva Pinata, they were even working on a Metroid Huntersesque port of Halo called Halo DS. How did you not fucking know? Microsoft argued that because they didn't have a competing handheld with the DS, they might as well profit as a third party, and did.

A lot of Rare's titles were published by THQ or Nintendo (Sega would get THQ to publish most of their GBA titles and some DS titles too), but the money went directly to Microsoft Game Studios. Here's the official list of titles they published themselves;

RGB30?
So I posted last thread about how I hate the battery issues on my RGB30.
If your battery has dropped to 0% suddenly, arrived at 0% then you wanna do a battery pull. Open it up, disconnect the battery, turn it on, shutdown, plug it back in etc and it should charge. My battery arrived at 0% dead but turned on and charge to 100/99%, I then attempted to cycle it 5 times at 30-80% but it'd cut out at 40ish. Sometimes it'll work absolutely fine, won't get the sudden voltage drop, sometimes it won't.

So how it presents itself besides instantly dropping voltage/shutting off is it gets stuck at 30-40% charge regularly, I tested it with one of my smart plugs that measures power draw and it'll just say it's charging, light up, draw enough power for the device but drop voltage and not charge the battery. Gotta open it up, yank the battery and cycle again. If you were to leave it for say 3-4h on charge it wouldn't do anything.
Sucks to suck.

Just saying clamshells aren't all they you remember them being, especially nowadays with most screens being resilient AND requiring touch. Having to flip open a device is a bigger hassle than just pressing a power button with your thumb, it really fucking is. The clamshell design just creates more potential failures and at least one extra step when wanting to use it, which gets tedious with time.

>>10937801
>Can you actually directly linkup with multiplayer or is it just a netplay thing over wifi?
Neither, game link cable GBA can't be done on Linux chinkhelds, only GBC - and I don't think the current H700 firmwares have it as a babbyfied menu like JELOS or OnionOS yet, you'd need to manually input IPs on RetroArch to link up.

You need an Android device and My Boy! for GBA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWINW-Kh7kg

>>10937803
This kind of marketing is getting more common if you have an account system or subscribed in the past.
I signed up for uber eats once, never used it and I get emails on the reg about how I should treat myself, btw this voucher's on us etc. Even a free VPN I used for playing DQ X sends me cringe shit like this constantly.

>>10937848
I kinda feel this way but not just with clamshells but verticals. It's not the screen flipping thing, I think it works on the SP and the DS but not the 3DS.
However definitely the ergonomics/shape don't hold up to grown up hands with injuries etc. When you played pokemon ruby or boktai or link to the past on your GBA SP you were playing it because either you didn't have an OG GBA or you were using it because it had a light built in.

The ergonomics on the original GBA hold up way better. The ergonomics issue cancels out any nostalgia I have.
If I wanted to be peak redditor and collect them on a shelf and never play 'em, I guess these sorts of devices would be my thing, but good screen/ergos matter more for playing games; at least for me.

honestly the odin 2 mini seems kinda perfect, it's got tons of power and it's actually small enough for a jacket or small sling. the price is a bit high but I think i'll just wait for a drop. and no I don't give a shit that the DPAD is on the bottom

I genuinely don't understand why it's bad, I alternate between layouts on handhelds and controllers like dualsense vs wiiu vs SNES vs XBOX all the time, I'm convinced it's autism. unless it's the gba micro or the OG 3DS it's comfortable

It's not 1:1 tougheverbeit.

>>10937261
Because it's a 3.9" with crazy resolution.
It scales content such as 4:3 and 16:9 (and tate) better than actual 1:1 devices on the market while maintaining its not too tall and not too wide Analog-like size.
the d-pad however...

>>10937889
the 3ds is square shaped and tiny and anything that uses the slide pad is extremely uncomfortable, the odin is way more roomy and has real thumbsticks and is rounded on all sides like the vita.

>>10937836
For all these years, I thought that the claims of Halo DS, was a bunch of practical light effects, and CGI editing, aka an internet hoax! WOW.

No one in this industry gets custom screens anon, they just use the cheap ones they can mass order and have lying around. Anbernig probably has a million of these 3.5 inch 480p screens they need to use.

>>10937873

How is the gba scaling on the chinksp working?
Its too big to be an integer scale but it stills looks pretty sharp

>>10937885
>>10937916
This. It's basically a miracle that powchaddy got their hands on a 1:1 4" screen that was probably used for some engineering equipment or a smart fridge.
If these companies had the capacity to make custom screens you'd be seeing full on systems dedicated to devices and you'd be seeing 4:3 screens above 4".
I think I've said it before but aside from old, old mid-00's tier GPS systems, the largest 4:3 screen I've seen on a mass produced device was my smart meter's energy monitor and that shit was definitely salvage scrap like a chinkheld.

>>10937972
It should be powerful enough to run some decent LCD grid shaders, right? Even the TSP can manage that.

>>10937185
*coughs and splutters*
DPAD in the right place
>b-b-b-buh
shut the fuck up

>>10937972
It seems to be touching the edges of the screen, so 2.7x with the game aligned up top, the remaining space becoming the overlay. Some interpolation shader from RA, pretty sure.

>>10937983
It is, though some LCD shaders can take a toll.

>>10937981

>>10938003
huh that's neat, not necessarily engineering equipment scrap but good enough.

A: Miyoo isn't a company that designs systems for playing cartridges in the first place.
and
B: A home console system's LAST priority is playing handheld games.

If you call yourself a gameboy or gameboy advance fan and you didn't own one of these, a power extension cable wwrapped around the post of your bunk bed study area and a neat bendable IKEA lamp to cast light on your screen at night while having a cheeky beat your dick with your fingers but not stroking want to eurotrash you're basically not alive, just saying. What the fuck were those wanks man.
I spent many a night in bed, curled up by the edge playing geimu and watching shit on my 14" portable at the bottom of my bed, pranking talk radio and charity helplines, maybe smoking a fag from that pack of silk cut you got your hands on and feeling very sick.

Even before the wanking talk radio charity pranking smoking puking meganights where I couldn't go to my friends house and moments where I wasn't thinking about James' sister I had a power supply for my gameboy and I was playing Pokemon blue and SaGa and Tetris.
It was the high life. Yes you were tethered, but you don't understand. Batteries were for the rich. NIMH wasn't king, NICAD was the battery of the povvos like I and yes, you had to discharge the fuckers and then charge them and they'd drain faster than they charged it was hell.

Sonic Advance 1 and 2 had that, you could even import and export them from the gamecube chao garden

Busted out my old GBA after the power supply thing; the SP still lies in the closet.
My lil OG actually not my OG since I sold that back a year after I got the SP and I am making good use of the opportunity to clean the buttons, shell and speaker has a bit of fog on the display, so alas it might be time to finally destroy the thing, turn it to dust and return it to the landfill.
Might just be the lens, I'll try and remember to check tomorrow.

How simple are the modern kits? Require soldering at all? I expect it'll have some impact on battery life at least, don't wanna go all out raping the poor primitive beast but may as well seek a solution.

I fucking hated sonic at that time, like Sonic was in his all my games suck era but Advance 1 & 2 and the chao garden.
That was some good shit right there.

This, but I'd bet they charge some silly "new device" tax even when all we wanted was a new shell for Odin2. It could be thicker/wider/ heavier at this point and I still would get it. If it uses an upgraded part, great. But the battery and screen etc, are more than adequate.

NTA and I agree with you that the PSP had some really good games that weren't ports and remakes.
but by god, the thing is like the vita, the ports, remakes and indies are some of the best shit on that console, god they're so fucking good.
Until the Japanese finally got the message and ported their games to PC N1S had held the definitive version of Disgaea 2 on the PSP and Vita and by god it may be the best, most bang for your buck game on the system. Thankfully you can now donate your soul directly to the void by playing it on PC but before then it was a handheld only affair unless you were willing to forgo the extras and play it on your modded PS2 or phat PS3.
The system was an RPG & puzzler beast but beyond the RPGs there were fucking 10/10 solid ports. Portable Gitaroo Man might be one of the finest things humanity has crafted

That's not to downplay the original PSP games, there were some real bangers especially if you're not an EOP.
Hell, I'll go out ragging on Tabata for being a mobile game dev as a joke but he did his best work on that system desu. You remember Phoenix Wright? Ace Attorney? Fuck that gay shit, throw me over a UMD or Harvey Birdman. Metal Gear Acid 1 & 2 are fine card games, I know portable ops & PW get wanked off enough but god was acid good. WKC:O is a great game too and who can forget about VC2, 3 & ZHP and the prinny games.

If you tell me I have to live in a world without original PSP games well...........I don't want to live in a world without patapon.

>>10938227
It was way easier leveling the chao on the gba because you get the rings you have at the end of the main game levels, so if you're good you can just do a playthrough of the game and get hundreds of coins

>>10938249
I mean ya, the ports were pretty fucking awesome, but they definitely weren't the only titles even if playing portable PS1 and PS2 games was an appeal for many. Some of the most important Metal Gear Solid instalments were PSP exclusives for the ages.

Very strange, I was watching that old Windows 95 promo video with Aniston/Perry just 3 hours ago and it dawned on me that he was dead.

>>10938105
I had one of these. It sucked.
Worse battery life than a pair of normal AA's, even at the time. Modern rechargeables would embarrass this thing.

>>10938279
>I had one of these. It sucked.
The connection wasn't great, having a power suppy at the bottom always sucks for handheld devices if not angled so you'd occasionally disconnect and lose progress.
It was worse to use in practice than a gameboy power supply since you had to remove the batteries to use it so if it disconnected/cut out you were SoL.
>Worse battery life than a pair of normal AA's, even at the time.
>Modern rechargeables would embarass this thing
NICAD AA's?
This didn't have a battery anon, third party ones might have had one and I'm sure there were but NICAD wasn't THAT bad, sure NIMH is great and modern NIMH like eneloop are top tier even though you'll have a battery low/dim LED compared to alkaline but NICAD could get the job done if charged right.
The huge issue with NICAD is you need to discharge the batteries fully before charging so even though your device may cut out they'd spend an hour or two in the charger on a discharge cycle before you could slowly charge them up. Also unlike eneloops NICAD were garbage when it came to voltage drop off and self discharge so you couldn't buy your way out of the problem with having lots of cells since they'd also discharge over time.

I still don't know what the fuck Nintendo were thinking when they removed the power supply port on the GBA, the money saved on not adding it vs profit from selling their shitty AC/DC kit couldn't have been worth it.
Thankfully the SP solved that issue.
Also chinkheld companies still continue to place charging ports on the bottom of device rather than out of the way on the side or top of the device. It's a solved issue and still they put it in the wrong place. This is truly a crime greater than "incorrect" DPAD placement!

Every time I go to the Anbernig splash page I gotta wait for it to cycle to an image without a white background to see the fucking basic links. This is some 1998 levels of web design retardation and they have never fixed it. You literally can't see the fucking catalog/product page link.

RIP the battery of my RG35XX. I heard a crack sound and when I looked saw the bulge sticking out at the back. The battery was already dead some days ago and could not hold charge, but now the back of my RG35XX is cracked with the bulge.
I was going to buy the RG35XXSP, but after seeing what happened with my RG35XX I don't know if I want.

How long did it take for your battery to bulge enouch to crack plastic? Assuming that's what happened.
The batteries on these things aren't always great anyway.

>>10938362
>How shitty is the Trimui Smart Pro at DS games?
I'll admit I haven't really used mine for DS other than checking at a glance so I could play SJ/EO, I mostly PSP, other handhelds & SNES/PSX.
It used to use standalone drastic like others but I decided to not use it since it uses bilinear filtering and I couldn't be fucked figuring out how to get a build that didn't have it (not in the options/config menu when I checked).
I'd say look up a review for any issues and then shoot your choice from there, I also recall some issues with mic stuff but that could be a fever dream from all the other drastic type devices and the TSP doesn't have a mic (and doesn't support mics via 3.5mm jack iirc).
If you have a specific game in mind, I'll see if I can give it a bash, not doing much atm other than waiting for PF in a game.

>How long did it take for your battery to bulge enouch to crack plastic? Assuming that's what happened.
>The batteries on these things aren't always great anyway.
I got completely distracted and accidentally deleted the next part but I can expand I guess for inane battery rambling.
With Lithium style batteries you don't want to discharge a battery fully, you want to charge at around 20-30% to 80-90% 99% is fine too but don't keep it at peak voltage..
While new batteries are rated to keep x% of capacity over Y cycles the stress is lesser if you charge it properly and maintain good care, making sure to charge to 100% about once a month or more if in regular use or every few months if stashed in a drawer.
You can almost certainly replace the battery, but aim to not discharge it fully, that kinda mistreatment will lead to the classic battery boom bulge like my N3DS has that thing has had years of abuse of discharging to 0% and is bulging bad.
Despite all the shit talk about the SP and its heatsink battery, there's nothing inherently wrong with a battery getting warm while charging/discharging at a high current so long as it can cool appropriately (fast charging is generally ok so long as the battery can cool and is taken off charge ASAP).

Mind you, you won't know the quality of the battery you're getting anyway, your battery could have been reconditioned trash and was on its way out with a bit of additional stress pushing it over the edge.
For the record I also had a very abused iphone with a dead battery that cannot hold a charge similar to yours that was plugged in 24/7, discharged frequently and was so bloated it managed to warp the case.

If you're the type of person to run a device down to 0% and charge it overnight, being used as a heatsink won't change much for ya.

>>10938406

I recommend to get a DS if you want to play heavy touch screen games.
>>10938379
>How long did it take for your battery to bulge enouch to crack plastic? Assuming that's what happened.
Yeah, that is what happened. I think 5 to 6 days ago the battery started to fail to hold charge and would shutdown the device even with 70% to 60% of the battery.
>The batteries on these things aren't always great anyway.
Yeah, mine is the earlier version which has the 2100mAh battery. I still can buy a new battery, but I would need the right tools to open up the device.

>>10938406
>>10938412
>>10938413
Well even if Ke$ha isn't /vr/, the old Newgrounds animators, voice actors, and game designers most definitely are. Fucking adored Michael Cusack for a decade before his ciggy butt brain Newgrounds bits. Amazing work today with Smiling Friends and curbing Zach Hadel to make sense.
For any children who have no idea what I'm talking about, Michael Cusack made tons of hilarious Newgrounds cartoons back in the day about two Australian pot heads, co-creates Smiling Friends, and voiced Mammon in Helluva Boss.

>>10938379
I've been seeing videos online talking about how random DS games don't work, but then there are comments in the videos talking about how the latest updates might have changed that.

Have you tried some n64 games on it? I can't see myself going to deep into n64, but being able to play shit like Wave Race or Starfox would be nice.

>>10937121
Nintendo were evil for making the hinges on the DSlite so bad, I swear they definitively must have know that was an issue and shipped them anyways. Those damn hinges could explode if you played your system near so much as a slight breeze

>>10938441
It's actually quite the complete opposite. It was an oversight that they VERY quickly tried to fix, including offering free repairs to anyone who had ANY issue with the DSlites even if it wasn't a cracked hinge.

And then Nintendo discovered that systematically, most people would just go out and buy a new DSlite because customers didn't want to wait to mail their unit away, have it fixed/replaced, and mailed back. They wanted to keep playing NOW. Despite Nintendo's efforts to pay from their own pockets to remedy the issue, they found tons of people just ended up buying twice as many consoles.

>>10938443
Which is insane, since wasn’t a DS Lite a hundred dollars back then? That’s worth twice that much when inflated to today’s prices

>>10938443
I think this marked Nintendo going full Western-corpo-minded before Iwata ever died. They were being unusually generous and discovered their audience ignored the offer and just double dipped instead. Shit like New Super Mario Bros 2 and its DLC were planned long before Iwata died.

>>10938412

Clamshells are the best form, they allow full control and maximum power.
>Largest screen to size ratio.
>Full lower section real estate dedicated to ergonomics and extra controls.
>Lid protects screen and controls while being smooth, yet armored in pocket/bag.
>Allows fully adjustable viewing angles from any grip position. In hand, on lap, or on a table set down. Which is better for the neck.
>A good clamshell is it's OWN dock, with all necessary ports built in. So paying extra for a dock becomes a question of intelligence.
>It's quite literally the White man's handheld, associated with success.
>It filters incompetent engineers with it's hinge, allowing the cream to rise to the top.
>Billions of laptops can't be wrong. Especially when the alternatives are touch phones.

It's just sad. You're making me sad, Chang.

>>10938494
I'm trying to find the video of a guy on Youtube playing the RG556 in bed and how unruly the illuminate sticks make it with no means to turn them off

>>10938504
Literally every single thing you said was wrong.
Just starting with the first one, the width and height of the plastic around the RG35XX SP's screen is larger than the RG35XX or RG35XX Plus's. You're such a fucking idiot I'm not wasting my breath with each and every point you bullshitted like an absolute contrarian retard.

>>10938504
People with money aren't this passive aggressive no matter what your Disney TV movie caricatures depicted while you were growing up home schooled. You don't have a penny to offer "Chang" so why should "Chang" care what your uneducated bullshitted views are on anything?

I wonder if ETA prime ever got around to making a heat sink for that Anbernic SP clone, or if the device already turned into a C4 that blew his house up.

>>10938432
>I've been seeing videos online talking about how random DS games don't work, but then there are comments in the videos talking about how the latest updates might have changed that.
Ah, perhaps they'd updated drastic, that would likely be in the patchnotes.
>Have you tried some n64 games on it?
>I can't see myself going to deep into n64
Sadly no.
There's not many games in the N64 library I want to play since I am an RPG simp and the N64 only has games for toddlers u.u
I downloaded waverace64 and starfox and gave 'em a quick go for ya and it was pretty grim, WR64 was around 15fps~ @ 640x480 on mupen with HLE at 1.4ghz as set by trimui. Again, I am an N64 noob, it has no games I want to play so idk if this config was right or there was an optimisation I missed.
Starfox was gay as fuck with mandatory gaycoded dialogue preceeding any gameplay. It dropped a few fromes for <3s but was at 30fps otherwise, I quit when I heard do a barrel roll and put my device down out of shame.

I will shill the TSP everyday but ehhhhhhhhh idk, might be rough for some N64 depending on your game. Might have to search up individual ones.
If N64's make or break or waverace is your jam then godspeed, I've had no real huge issues with PSP/PSX with the types of games I play but I'm not your ideal tester.
Hopefully another kind TSP anon or N64 enthusiast can help more.

I could go full doomer on the battery/heatsink situation but allah's will aside I do find it funny they they made a little cutout for the battery and the chipset but everything else is closed off.
Could they not have flipped the board or something, put a little unstylish vent disguised as a speaker? Anything at all. It's so funny that it's right there when you open it up especially with how lithium batteries behave over time.

>>10938524
>The plastic ziptie around the pin

>>10938520
Isn't there already a Powkiddy X19? How on earth do they decide the naming conventions for these things?
I'll trust Overlord kiddy and pay attention to him if the company is actually working on a clamshell with a decent chip in it and better controllers than the X18. I haven't tried the X18s but the vanilla X18 was pretty rough for as sleek as it looked when it came out.

>>10938527
To be entirely honest, Anbernic is infamous for deliberately making one flaw so your system eventually fails and needs replacing. Chinese planned obsolescence. Anbernic has been the only major chinkheld producer to be found guilty of deliberately sabotaging their own shit so customers have to keep buying more/the next new thing but I wouldn't be surprised if others were doing it too. They want their products to die after a certain amount of time so you think you have to buy a new one. It's the entire ecosystem surrounding the "R4" where they have annual cards for $5 but they have a suicide script that requires removing otherwise the card bricks itself once it reads past a certain date on the DS/3DS.

>>10936913
At the hinge and the cart slot was at the bottom. The CPU was there too but was covered, mind you, different CPU, different age.
It was the early 00's where devices weren't always power hungry gremlins bruteforcing everything.

>>10938534
God nothing looks cheaper than these fruit candy transparent buttons, and now they fucking did it to the d-pad too? Either make the skittles solid or don't use the skittles at all.

>>10938525
it was getting warm while playing so I think they have the CPU in performance mode, but I turned it to power save mode (you can set up the FN switch to do that) and performance was unaffected, so unless you are playing some really intensive game you could use power save mode to save battery and run cool.

>>10938538
Get with the times grampa

The GBA SP also exclusively needed the power to play up to GBA games natively. The RG35XX SP needs the power to play Dreamcast, N64, and PSP titles emulated.

>>10938542

It literally wasn't, it was considered to be the cheapest of the bootleg garbage in 2005. Holy fucking shit, are you the retroactively bullshitting /v/ zoomer back again with your ChatGPT-level of impotency? Fuck off.

>The RG35XX SP needs the power to play Dreamcast, N64, and PSP titles emulated.
Only retards are going to play those systems on that, I can see myself playing some PSX games but never more demanding shit than that

>>10938538
The sheer amount of transparent skittles they used on their handhelds early on had to be because they ordered a ton of them and had to come up with some way to use them all. Because they were there on the original X18, but not the upgraded X18s with the T618 chip.

So no, he did not say it in plain English. His words were vague and left room for interpretation. Consider that the matte black ones are less bright than the skittles and it'll all come together. Right now.

>Again, hope you enjoyed your chips mate. Grease up that bad boy and have fun.
Smearing vegetable oil on the buttons actually decreases latency by improving the ability of the connectors to transmit electrical signals faster. It's a lot like how vegetable oil transmits heat to food when you pour it on an electric induction range and turn it on.
