miyoo troon spotted

How soon do you think we will see a GBA FPGA board/kit? I have to assume Funnyplaying is working on it, but make sure to release the GBC one first.

i got an update today on why my “in stock” rp2s (ordered may 2nd from the retroid pocket store) hasn’t shipped yet. after being told it would ship “next week” over a week ago

i’m starting to regret not just ordering an ARC. at least anbernic shipped on time when they said a product was in stock

>>10953367
>can't find the thread
>see a gameboy post
>op forgot to include the subject
rip

>>10953418
They already have a working motherboard. But the cpu and ram currently needs to be sourced from an original gba. So soon tm.

>>10953367
Hey retard, you forgot the subject.

Hey, I've asked this before, but I got an electronics lecture and my brain burned out. Looking on google and other places they are not very specific with the GBP mod either.

So... if I install the IPS mod I lose the Possibility to use flash-cards correct? There is no way to use something along the lines of generic gameboy AC charger+IPS mod+flash card ? I really don't want to do any soldering.
I bought this one with a slightly damaged screen and ironically Aliexpress does not sell non-IPS replacements so I will have to settle for GB bootlegs....

>>10953385
All it needs is a headphone jack, that's the one drawback with the original SP. Curious to see how that hinge would hold up though.

>>10953470
Ordered 25th April here and only got a shipping number 2 days ago. Probably should have tried ebay.

I wanted to use it for downtime on vacation but didn't think it'd take so long. I took the Steam Deck with me instead.

Arc is too expensive for what it is though imo

If I want to start playing Android games where should I go to pirate them?

>>10953793
on my dick

>>10953418
The guy running the Github for the firmware thinks they're going to do a DMG/Pocket revision first before they go to GBA. They are selling new GBA motherboards, you just need to source the motherboard and RAM so they're almost there. I'd hold out on any first revision though, the 1.1(1) revisions added some more compatibility for the FPGBC and they're really bad on supporting the thing via the firmware. It's been two months and no new firmware updates despite blowing them out for the first two or three months.

>>10953830
why are you in every thread i visit. this is a psyop

>>10953418
>>10953470
This thing is a fucking scam
Always runs either faster or slower than real hardware
Gamebatte on a chinkheld is unironically more accurate

>>10953782
your telling me a chinaman lied to us?

GBA on real hardware is unplayable for me because I need to use an lpf/dsp plugin for the audio, it's like nails on a chalkboard for me otherwise.

Retroid pocket 4 pro would have been close to endgame if the screen wasn't so fucked.
Convenient that they stopped selling the 3+, which is still the best handheld for everything up to Dreamcast.
That being said, anyone have a 2s metal edition? Does it have sharp corners and stuff?
Do the unisoc chips have enough power to run the x86 emulators? Toohoo and such would be cool to have on a handheld.

>>10953832
That's simply because of their implementation being flawed and not having automatic profiles for each game to have it at the right speed. All they would need to do is spend some more time refining the firmware and it would be perfect.

>>10953831
Maybe we both like video games?

>>10953851
Yeah but they won't, therefore it's shit
Get an sp while it's available and cheap, and call it a day

>>10953858
>Yeah but they won't, therefore it's shit
Depends if they make the firmware open source or not, assuming they stop working on the firmware itself. If they want to keep selling these things or getting attention to new projects they make regarding this they're going to have to, otherwise people advertising their stuff will bring up how their support is bad.

I always map the left stick to DPAD, am I now Chinese?

>>10953862
Again retard, they won't

Just ordered this and waiting for it to ship, what should I play on it ?

>>10953830
kys triptroon.

>>10953874
mine is coming soon. problem with these systems is that you can have all the fucking games. its impossible to decide. do i play the games that i've already played in my childhood or explore other stuff.

>>10953874
>>10953908
You fucked up
The screen has insane ghosting issues, fan is louder than a fucking steam deck.
Should have waited for the 5(+)

>>10953932
lol, there's always something next and better. i've already backed out from the 35xx H and SP. i'm good, but appreciate the effort to cause buyers remorse

I got an RG35XX last summer and was about to order a TSP but I refuse to buy another handheld until I can get something that plays PS2 flawlessly and also has perfect screen, dpad, buttons and os for $200 or less.

Is there any handheld that can play modern rpg maker games?

>>10954162
Something Android with enough juice for PS2. I think there's two RPGMaker player apps, compatibility is spotty.

>>10953936
They fixed the ghosting issue and the fan speeds. It's a great device now and I use it daily over my Odin 2 since its way more portable.

>>10953908
Play stuff you've never played before. I've completed like 10+ games over the last year I had never touched before, and I'm finding games I like almost as much as my childhood classics. It has me playing my devices way more since its like having a new console with new games.

It’s crazy how bad the latency is on all these lagdroid chinkhelds. I’m convinced you idiots just click through the daijisho menu all day and don’t actually play anything.

>>10954183
One example to prove you're not just mindlessly yapping out of unsupervised boredom?

>>10953385
>Sticks
Miyoo GOD spotted. They'll win the clamcel wars since anbernig is retarded and powkiddy wont do SHIT

>>10953830
Love yourself, tripLEIGON

>>10954252
I don't want the Miyoo Flip. I said proper sticks for a reason.

RG35XX DS when

>>10954426
After RP2DS

>>10953551
I don't think the gameboy pocket is great for modding unless you are also adding power or know what youre doing. I love the pocket it has my favorite handful Nad overall look in a handheld, but it's probably bad to give it a screen without also soldering more power.

I bought a modded dmg from a retro game store and the fucking thing has sporadic delayed inputs because the screen draws more power than the batteries can handle. don't be like me

>>10954162
ROG Ally

Anyone else has a slight noise coming from the TSP?

>>10954526
that's the sovl carburetor nothing to worry about.

>>10954529
This shit runs on gas?

>>10954542
for the extra sovl yes.

>screen fixed
>fans fixed
>doesn't even get as hot as the TSP
Why do you still refuse to apologize and admit it's the GOAT of sub-200?

>>10954546
Because it could've been a sub-100 RP3S instead

Recently nuked the Android installation on the eMMC of my RG353P, it's an early model.
This was to get a ROCKNIX installation bootable from microSD TF slot 1.

Any anons know if it's possible to install the ROCKNIX CFW directly to the eMMC so it boots from there instead?
It'd be preferable due to how the bootloader for Linux now apparently prioritises the internal storage for booting.

To wipe it before I had to run Linux Terminal commands over SSH using WinSCP.
I need to identify the data source (TF1) and the data destination (eMMC), I tried running lsblk but it returns command not found, so I'm guessing that command just isn't present in the ROCKNIX Linux distribution.

>>10954609
Every time I see this thing I just wish it was more shaped like the SF-2000, in every way, from the buttons to the volume wheel.

>>10954629
I wonder how hard it would be to swap out re-wired the eternals of something, like an R36S, and solder/wire them onto the SF-2000 pcb. I literally want the SF-2000, exactly as it is, just with better capabilities than just GBA and SNES. But anything similar to it, like the RG353P, rapes everything I like about the SF-2000's form factor into some half-assed obviously Chinese substitute.

>>10954634
Even the S30 fucks up the form factor.

>>10954546
Because start and select still aren't perfected.

Tempted to buy pic related

>>10953551
I don't see why the flash carts won't work but it will definitely eat away at the battery life faster, at least for what I've heard. Anyway I agree with >>10954501

>>10954691
>Tempted to buy pic related
Tetris with that much horizontal space seems like a chore.

>>10954691
Out if all the brick games, you want one with two buttons for rotating, not just one. Absolute "three lefts make a right" logic using only one button, it's retarded.
I'm a vertislut but the little horizontal 9999-in-1 brick game keychain with four buttons is the best one. I don't know why they made a wider version of the basic square one like in your pic, or maybe it's just shorter?

>>10954181
No they didnt
Updates don't fix a hardware issue

>>10954737
correct because it wasn't a hardware issue but a software one.

>>10954734
>jeu de brick game
so the garbage collector is canadian huh

>>10954691
>>10954734
I just realized it's the exact same size as mine, they just have solid colours and a painted black bezzle around the screen. Literally the same one.
God damn is is really awful to fucking play because of how wide everything is on screen, rotating a block makes it seemingly change shape and size entirely.

>>10954740
>correct because it wasn't a hardware issue but a software one.
Holy cope
The 3+ had the same issue, they had to send out screen replacements, along with mobo replacements for the badly binned CPUs
Retroid is so shit they make ambernig look like a trustworthy company

>>10954748
The issue is literally the screen settings within Android, you illiterate liar. People used to iOS phones would ignorantly assume the screen was the issue because they've never had such level of control of their own devices before.

my odin 2 mini needs to come now.

>>10954754
I really don't understand the point of something this powerful that doesn't use an x86 processor.

>>10954762
Better battery life

>>10954762
because there's no device between the r4p and odin 2 that can do switch emulation (and better ps2 performance), and as the other anon said, battery life/portability.

>>10954762
It's noticeably bigger than a Vita, but still quite a bit smaller and lighter than even the smallest of the current roster of handheld PCs. Honestly if it were d-pad top I probably would've bought one.

Just realized my two G5s I found are "opposite" colours.
...Do I swap the pieces to make one all blue and one all grey?
I legitimately want a G6 but don't wanna pay more than $5 for one

>>10954784
666 NES roms and hacks instead of 500, plus those sexier colours

>>10954784
I mean it was Uncle's favourite 2023 Famiclone.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=1zfO-XkYUVU

>>10954784
>>10954794
It's my favourite sub-$10 Famiclone.

>>10954734
I like the one I had before the rotate button stopped working, but I might not need it that big (about the same size as K10 Famiclone)

>>10954787
don't they know the number they used is the mark of the beast

i walk around 6 miles every night in my neighborhood playing cave story on my retroid pocket 2s

Is there a decent alternative to sakura modding?
28 USD for 4 miyoo buttons is insane

>>10954752
Powkiddy had a similar issue with the x28/x18s screen. It had a blue tint that needed a seperate app to disable. Powkiddy knows about this, but who knows if they'll acutally fix it on the x19.

>>10954526
I have two of them (one first batch, one second batch), and neither has this issue. does it happen with headphones as well?

>>10953367
I can't filter the thread subject if you don't include it, chinky

>>10954546
Because after tax and shipping and handling it's 250+ for us Eurofags

>>10954546
every retro hanheld shouldn't cost more than €50, the risk of getting a bad unit is just too high

>>10954987
>>10954546
Surely even mutts have to pay SOME tax and shipping? So it will be over $200

Ok I know this isn't the right place but I am wondering if anyone here has experience with the bluetooth versions of 8bitdo controllers and whether there is significant input lag?

>>10955029
Most people can play with bluetooth latency just fine but I think it's definitely noticeable if you use it back to back with wired or even 2.4ghz wireless.

>>10955026
No tax but I do have to pay shipping. Still, he could technically be talking about the RP4 rather than the RP4P.

>>10955035
Thanks. If I use one of their bluetooth controllers in wired mode I should be able to avoid the lag right?

>>10955037
>No tax
Every US state has some sales tax

>>10955029
depends on the device you connect it to. I have the arcade stick, and a bluetooth SNES receiver, and the input lag is minimal.

>>10955050
My state does, but Retroid doesn't charge me any for some reason kek. Aliexpress does tho. Also Montana has no sales tax, I want to move there some day.

>>10953367
bros so I've been looking into getting myself a chinkheld. I basically want to play nes/snes/gba, and n64 if possible is there anything better than the rg35xx H?

Got tiny best set go! but has no PSP/DS/SNES, any recommended ones for those?

>>10955079
>left stick in the wrong place

>>10955092
download the games you like. you don't need a set.

>>10955029
The lag concerning input with 8bitdo controllers is literally no worse than input lag with any other bluetooth controller connection. It exists as a flaw with bluetooth communication itself. If you're going bluetooth, the PS4's Dual Shock 4 controller, an old Google Stadia controller, or most 8bitdo controllers are the best to go with. Bluetooth latency is an issue with literally all bluetooth devices.

>>10955093
>unironically being Chinese of 4channel
While you're here you might as well expose China for the retards that you all are; Why the fuck do chinks prefer analog sticks for d-pad inputs? Does lord emperor god of the CCP have that preference so all chinks claim to prefer it too to not be flagged for the gulags?

these chinamen have actually got me so delusional i for a moment considered ordering another chinkheld while waiting for my rp2s to ship because the retroid store lied about mine being in stock

what mental illness is this

>>10953470
Sorry to hear it, anon. If it's any solace, Anbernic will take their sweet time to ship my hand grenade.

>>10955029
It's a case by case thing, worst ones are the modern ones with gyro and such. Look up MiSTer controller latency charts.

>>10955079
>and n64 if possible
Chip not quite fast enough for N64 as a whole, you'll only manage on basic bitchcore like SM64, MK64, OoT, F-Zero.

>analog sticks (I've read they're shit but i can always replace them with hall ones for like $20)
No you can't, many have tried. It's a kernel level problem.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T1hXHVbFKk&t=531s

If you don't get raped by taxes, consider the RP2S but be aware they seem to be late with shipments.

>>10955092
I hear Cylum's okay.

>>10955093
Commit unlife.

>>10955093
lol! so true, girlie! erm, that thing has the sony layout and not the nintendo layout?? that's not very magical..

>>10955116
They're in stock, they just prioritize orders by first come first serve. If 500 people ordered RP4P and have to wait for assembly before shipment, any idiot getting a RP2S will be sitting idly by until all previous RP4P orders are filled.

This is on you for buying a RP2S during the peak of the RP4/4P's availability and popularity. Read thr fucking op links next time.

>>10955126
Stop being retarded, each serve a different purpose.

"Haha... it's a literal chink electronic that will either catch fire or explode in my hand... I'm going to order one anyway while jokingly calling it a hand grenade."
There are easier, less cringe-worthy ways to kill yourself, anon... than waiting three months for a handheld to potentially harm you physically.

>>10955134
I can only assume you're so new2here5me that you quoted the wrong post. I was exclusively discussing how Retroid fills orders, not the value of their individual models, retard.

>>10955135
Cool story Trudeau, still not entering that pod.

>>10955138
Word it better then, that's what your last sentence implies.

>>10955126
that's not what "in stock" means

>>10955142
It implies buying the RP2S NOT during the peak release of a new Retroid product. You really didn't need to triple down on your own illiteracy here but, you did. Who am I to tell an idiot to shut up when exposing themselves this hard, tho...

>>10955079
>>analog sticks (I've read they're shit but i can always replace them with hall ones for like $20)
Nah it's fucked, people tried it with hall sticks and the snapping issue is still there

>>10955126
is it really asking the world of someone to put an "in stock" item in a box and put a shipping label on it? what the fuck?

>>10955150
The RP2S is literally in stock. They're not hand making a new one for any modern orders. They just do not reach your order until all prior orders are filled, even if that means assembling a RP4P for the order.

It doesn't get any more plain English than this, ESL fuckwads.

>>10955160
how do they not have time to put an item they already have in a box and put a shipping label on it

>>10955159
So you want Retroid to have a dedicated shipping member who exclusively sits idly by until a RP2S order comes in so he can fill it immediately then sit idly by for several more hours until the next one?

How young and dumb are you to be even questioning this, let alone confused by it?

>>10955165
The same way McDonald's doesn't have time to throw together six nuggets and a sauce for you because there's fourteen other orders before yours that require assembling burgers. I cannot simplify this to you any further.

>>10955168
i'd like it if when i ask when my rp2s is shipping and they tell me "next week" they actually mean next week, not over a month later

>>10955173
i think it's more comparable to asking for ketchup when someone's at the counter

>>10955173
I mean the nuggets are already done and just SITTING THERE. And my order is so much easier than the Big Mac orders that were made before my chicken nuggy order! Why can't the entire restaurant staff stop for five seconds and just fill my already ready to go order?????

>>10955181
Not only is it less comparable, but budding in asking for ketchup during someone else's order is the most self-entitled, beligerant thing I have ever read. And you suggesting it means you fucking do it yourself.

>>10955190
Literal niggers interupt other peoples' orders to ask for ketchup when the fucking self-serve table is beside them, smfh

>>10955190
when else are you supposed to ask for ketchup if it isn't available by the soda machines? are you about to suggest a "condiment request" line?

>>10955192
"EY YO SORRY I KNOW YOU ORDERIN BUT I WANT MORE KETCHUPS! JUST S9ME PACKETS AND I'LL NIGGER OFF AWAY BUT TIL YOU DO I'M MAKIN A SCENE"

>>10955126
no one cares about the gay op faggot.

>>10955194
No I'm going to request you either learn how to quickly flag down the manager on duty to quickly give you some packets, or fuck right off and kill yourself for turning a basic bitch interaction into an entire scene.l due to your own beliggerance.

>>10955198
that idiot couldn't even put info in the subject field. like a total rube.

>>10955198
Nobody cares that you're so fresh from /v/ that your retarded ass doesn't even fucking know what a general is, let alone knee-jerk reacting to "OP....OP IS ALWAYS A FAGGOT!" shit like you're literally a 14 year old desperately trying to fit into high school after a home school education, you pathetic limp-wristed cock guzzler.

>>10955201
i'm sorry you're a mcdonalds employee with some kind of grudge but you're delusional if you think it's inappropriate to ask somebody by the counter who isn't actively taking an order for some fucking ketchup. what the hell is wrong with you people. flag down a manager? what the hell are you talking about

>>10955115
It's just more convenient, simple as.

>>10955202
>too stupid and new to have seen the last thread and how it ended
>even when OP literally links to it
Literal, fatherless child.

>>10955174
It’s a tendency for some companies like Ayaneo or AYN to fall into this situation. Buying one of their handhelds on their site means that you’ll be waiting days or almost two weeks for the shipping confirmation notice + the time it takes to actually ship the handheld.

>>10955202
>illiterate zoomies actually mad about the lack of title but inclusion of related links
Worked better than anticipated, kek

>>10955202
>"info" in the "subject field"
Genuinely confused if this is Reddit lingo or how zoomies now talk. It's called a subject in the title field. You use the "title field" to say the subject of the thread.

>>10955216
>Teach zoomies how to Ctrl+F/"Search key" a website to jump to the text they want
>Then deliberately don't include the text within a title which they would use to search for and find the threads
>90% of zoomies suddenly absent from threads
top fucking kek

>>10955228
I teach skills, but it is ultimately up to the student to understand how those skills can be utilized.

>>10955223
huh

>>10955234

>posts the link >>10953367 to the discord channel
>we all join the thread anyway and mog on these millennial gatekeepers
it's how i knew this one existed

>>10955238
Oh no.
You're an ESL who takes it literally.

>>10955228
i use URL catalog search (https://boards.4chan.org/vr/hh)) and it's annoying when the subject for the thread isn't setup because then it doesn't work

>>10955239
>zoomer discord channel to stalk and follow 4chan threads which the average zoomer is too tech-illiterate to follow themselves without help
I genuinely believe it.

>>10955242
it's called a subject field because that's what it is. do you know what a field is on a form? you're the one making up arbitrary names for things

>>10955246
>I don't use 4chan(nel) organically
Actual Reddit-tier. Let me guess; You have /vr/ and other boards individually bookmarked "for conveience", too?

>>10955252
why would i? it's easier to just type out a url and use the url archive search feature for whatever general i want to go to

are you going to tell me you actually click through every page of a board to find a general you want to read?

These generals are nothing more than whales buying the next new thing and children upset that they can't have current new thing, and it's been this way for months despite the RG35XX SP finally releasing.

>>10955257
url catalog search feature FUCK

>>10955257
Oh no, I literally type / whatever into Firefox and arrow key-select the board I want. I assumed you feewuented Reddit so often that such a method would just fill your suggested urls with subreddits.

>>10955258
>hardware thread is about hardware
Cool, keep us posted.

>>10955262
If you're not automatically going to the catalogue version of a board, you're definitively underage. At least you do use catalogues.

>>10955258
this is the chinaman's ruse

>>10955269
that's what url catalog searching does. it just removes the step of having to enter the general you want in the search field

>>10955267
No, it's not about hardware. These threads used to be definitive comparisons between different devices using the same chipset. Now it's artificial console war brand favouritism or zoomies shitposting/unironically posting but they're so incompetently ignorant their posts are just as awful as the chink console war fanboyism.

>>10955275
>No, it's not about hardware
it is thoever.

>>10955275
i'll have you know my posts on this site have been terrible for 20 years and i will NOT improve

>>10955274
Loading the catalogue exposes you to every active thread, including new ones you may want to participate in, not just looking for your generals to return to.

>>10955275
Nigger when I first got here everyone was still pretending the Anbernic d-pads were some of the best and that RK3566 were N64 capable, the threads have improved if anything.

>>10955284
>I have been posting on 4chan since 2004
(X) Doubt, even as a 2007er myself.

>>10955285
bro i have other things i do with my life than spend all day reading /vr/ what the fuck

>>10955287
So you admit you got here in 2022 with the RG280v.

>>10954546
80ms of lag + tax

>>10955289
it's alright; there's not a lot of pride to be had in it

>>10955290
...Which all the more reason you should be using the catalogue for your own convenience. "I ron't have the time to spend less time!" is such a jobless child statement to make.

>>10955293
A little later than that, I think.

>>10955287
i must have got lucky with the dpad on my original rg35xx cause the only complaint i've ever been able to make about it is it's just slightly stiff

>>10955302
The RG280V was the last time Anbernic d-pads were remotely acceptable until the "NEW" RG35XX.

>>10955298
https://boards.4chan.org/vr/hh

try it. you might just learn something

>>10955303
Luck has nothing to do with it. RG35XX d-pads and their inputs were demonstrable garbage and required users to mod it with tape to make it work.
You didn't "luck out", your standards are just absolute dog shit.

>>10955308
it's better than my gameboy color dpad ever was. that's a reasonable standard of quality for me

>>10955308
The entire foundation for the Etsy "better buttons" meme came from the RG35XX's rancid d-pad and shoulder buttons. And here anon is saying he likes em!

>>10955308
>YOU'RE LYING IT WORKS FOR YOU
>STOP LIKING WHAT I DON'T LIKE

>>10955313
Okay, now I know you're just a dishonest little piece of fucking shit.
t. an actual GBC and RG35XX owner, unlike your lying ass.

>>10955316
yes the shoulder buttons are dogshit, i've just never had an issue with the dpad or face buttons personally

>>10955317
Honestly bro, claiming Anbernic d-pads are good isn't some biblically radical statement, it's just an admission of how terrible your opinions are.

>>10955319

Literally just confirming your opinions are hilarious dog shit, my man. So you actually own both and STILL prefer the RG35XX d-pad? Your tastes are self-defeating, no further ridicule of your stupid ass needed.

the analog stick issue is currently not fixable by any means. replacing the sticks doesn't fix the problem. it's not currently understood why that is. if you want an anbernic horizontal handheld, get the rg arc instead. if you want a horizontal handheld with analog sticks under $100, go with something non-anbernic

What exactly defines a handheld?

The fact it's marketed as such?
The fact it can play games/run emulators?
Its portability?
Where do we draw the line between "handhelds" and everything else?

How much smaller is the Odin Mini's screen than the Odin 2's? One of the reasons why I sold my RP3 and got an Odin 2 instead was because the screen was too small to really play PS2/GC games.

>>10955759
5" vs 6"

>>10955759
>>10955763
Bigger than RP3 but not by a huge amount

>>10955776
Hm yeah that's kinda small for me. I remember having a really hard time playing THPS3 on the RP3.

>>10955776
Going from sub-2x to above-2x is still pretty nice. But then again, there's a good argument that you really don't need more than 720p on handheld screens, or at least 800p like the Deck

>>10955776
Hmm, Odin 2 Mini could have taken a good portion of RP4 buyers if the d-pad wasn't retarded.

>>10955802
No you need 6x

>>10955815
Even if the d-pad was on top, it's way more expensive and a bit less pocketable so I don't think the RP4 would be under threat from it anyway.

>>10955815
What >>10955830 said, going from $150/$200 to $330 is a big psychological jump for me personally. Imagine it is for many others as well. Still, I do think they swapped d-pad position to further differentiate it from RP4.

How do I get boxarts for my games on the TSP with Tomato OS?

>>10954964
it sounds like coil whining, it's basically only audible when I put my ear near the device and there is no music playing.

>>10955583
I don't think there's a hard line that can be drawn. if your system of choice is DOS games that require a keyboard, and this is your device, is it not a handheld?

>>10955871
The difference is that one requires a surface to be used properly whereas a handheld doesn't. You can't thumb type on one of those. The maidphone however would count as a handheld even without the game controls over the keyboard.

>>10955830
>>10955834
Can't imagine people buying $200 chinkhelds are particularly price sensitive as us cheapskates. And since the chip on that is plenty even for mobage it doubles for any gay png bullshit needs. There's also the size queens going off about pockets every 3 hours, you'd imagine they put their money where their mouth is. Maybe I'm out of touch.

>>10955907
I'm between most of you cheapskates buying r35s slop and the people buying Odin 2s/handheld PCs. I'm totally cool all the way up to $200, but after that I start getting exponentially more skittish.

>>10955917

Try a deck in real life, only people who never saw one IRL think it's too large and cumbersome. It has great ergonomics and the only downside is that it's not literally pocketable.

>>10957297
i had one, sold it after one week. im a frequent business traveler and it's just not a good device on the road. switch form factor or there abouts is much better.

Yeah, like I said, you tendies are completely unhinged.

>>10957327
I own both and I doubt you do, you sound like an anti-Deck shill. The Deck is four times thicker only at its thickest points, which happen to be also where you grip the device. Like I said, it has great ergonomics, I actually use one of those plastic grip cases on my Switch to give it a similar thickness where you grab it, otherwise it's not very comfortable.
>Carrying the Deck isn't much different than carrying a small laptop.
That's just pure bullshit and you know it.

>>10957339
I don't give a shit about Nintendo and I never even noticed tendies until I got a deck and started making casual posts about it occasionally. One or two of them will immediately jump out of the blue and start shitposting and shittalking the deck for no fucking reason, it's insane.

>>10957367
Never seen anything else start such a visceral kneejerk in almost 30 years deep into game discussions. And all for what, a niche enthusiast device while Nintendo is still getting away with selling a tablet for its retail price almost a decade later totaling 60 gorillion units or whatever? A behavior beneath even applefags.

>>10957356
I love my Deck but I'm not going to lie and pretend just to shill like you.
>only at its thickest points
And that difference doesn't magically disappear.

>>10957421
>And that difference doesn't magically disappear.
I literally use this grip case for my Switch because that heft around the sides makes it a million times better to use. But even without this, the difference between carrying a Switch or carrying a Deck around is really not that big, if you compare both to a Switch Lite or a 3DS, that difference is massive. The difference between Switch and Deck is not.

>>10957437
>the difference between carrying a Switch or carrying a Deck around is really not that big
That's kind of like saying the difference between MM/A30/RG28XX and devices like RG35XX/H is not that big. It's much more than enough to matter.

>>10957435
>miyoo paid this guy to get redditors to blow up their SPs batteries

anons, so I have an old android phone lying around (a52s 5g). is there any reason to get something like a retroid other than the nice console build? If i install daijisho on my phone it should basically be the same experience right? my a52s has better specs too, at least on paper. Furthermore, if it really is just the advantage of having device with nicely built controls, maybe that alone is still worth the price? are any of the phone grip controller things actually good?

>>10957461
Nah I agree with that other Anon. The Deck is in another class of its own and not nearly as comfortable. Anyone claiming otherwise is retarded. Reminds me of the Legion GO shills saying anyone criticizing the weight and size are just handlets.

That said I do agree neither are really portable since they go in the backpack either way.

>>10957803
We wouldn't hear the end of it if there was actually a good controller grip thing, but yeah, if you don't mind the ultra wide jury-rigging it's basically the same. Might want to disable Google Play Services for battery and performance.

these threads were lit back in november, what happened? did the anbernic sp really bring all these retards or is it just focused vrigading

>>10957803
>Furthermore, if it really is just the advantage of having device with nicely built controls, maybe that alone is still worth the price?
I think there's other aspects to want an android handheld, like the screen typically being in a 4:3 or 16:9 Aspect Ratio. From what I hear most phones ship with a 21:9 ratio or something, meaning the black bars are more noticeable on both sides of the screen.
But beyond that, it's still Android. Installing and playing games with Daijisho, RetroArch, Duckstation, PPSSPP should be the same. Give it a try first to see if you're perfectly fine with what you have, or if you want to spend more for a dedicated handheld.

>>10957832
Mine's okay, thought the sticks suck and are in the wrong place.

The Deck is a lot more comfortable to hold, that's why products like >>10957437 and >>10957315 exist for the Switch, to make it more comfortable. If this wasn't true, nobody would make or purchase those controllers and grips.

I own that grip and I know that it vastly improves my experience.

>>10957832
>>10957803
GameSir X2 is a great grip

>>10957859
Every handheld has grips manufactured for it. Is the Deck not ergonomic because these are incredibly popular?

>>10956950
Picross
Minesweeper
Sudoku
Sokoban

>>10957885
It is ergonomic. I was responding to claims that "the Deck is so large that it is unwieldy and therefore a piece of shit". I'm sure some people prefer an even larger shape so they buy that grip for the Deck that you linked. It all just proves that the Deck isn't "so extremely big that it's shit and useless".

>>10957894
Clearly it's not ergonomic because grips and cases exist for it just like the Switch. Or perhaps you are now saying just because these products exist doesn't actually determine whether something is ergonomic?

>>10957902
Why are you strawmanning? The argument was that something that is the size of the Deck cannot possibly be ergonomic. My experience and the fact that there are popular products that make the Switch the exact same size as the Deck disprove that "something that is the size of the Deck cannot possibly be ergonomic". That is all.

>>10957851
>the shills saying it's ok because phones also use the battery as heatsinks

>>10957803
Another advantage of a retroid or ayn is the fan. A built in fan makes a huge difference for GameCube and ps2 gameplay. If you want below that though, then it makes no difference. Get a Kishi v1

The issues are mostly bored, unsupervised zoomies idly yapping with either mindless Nintendo, Apple, or Valve fanboyism or regurgitating the epic /v/ memes they love to parrot. I can't imagine why you put a stick up your own ass about SP enjoyers, but I'd love for you to tell me why. Blind Anbernig hate? Upset the D-008 was Hello, Cancelled?

Serious answers only please.

>>10958127
nothing. you're in a thread full of vaccine-injured genzers

>>10958117
No BUT THE FUCKING BATTERY IS, WHICH NOW HAS A DIRECT FUCKING COPPER CONNECTION WITH THE CPU, WHICH IS INFINITELY WORSE THAN JUST OPEN AIR

>>10957910
No one is strawmanning. You said Switch is not ergonomic which is why people make grips for it. I'm just asking if you also apply this argument to the Deck? And if no, why not?

Should be an easy answer right?

>>10958127
The original problem was that the battery was so close and exposed to the main circuit chip that runs the device. Both will become very hot on their own, let alone so close to each other.

Copper is a fantastic conductor, especially when it comes to temperatures. This is placing the same piece of copper directly against the battery and the CPU, so all heat from either just builds up in the copper until it either fries the CPU which kills the entire fucking unit, or it explodes the battery, killing you Final Destination style.

>>10958145
The copper may cause the plastic to melt/catch fire first, but once on fire that battery WILL explode.

>>10958094
This man is legitimately fooling retards into killing themselves

>>10958128
Copper needs to be in dust form to be explosive, requiring oxidants from the air to be throughout it. Finely packing a powdered copper down prevents it from exploding. Copper also expands like a mother fucker, almost twice its size before it starts to melt, so that copper plate between a hot battery and not CPU is also going to be expanding and putting pressure against the battery and CPU.

I see ETA Prime finally got sick and tired of all the zoomies in his comment sections, so he decided to thin their numbers with a modern day "make crystals!"/"cool spoon trick!" darwin experiment. "Not my fault they were so stupid that they jumped off a bridge when I told them to."

Point out where I said that

Half this thread dropped out of high-school and it shows.

>>10958180
>The Deck is a lot more comfortable to hold, that's why products like >>10957437 # and >>10957315 # exist for the Switch, to make it more comfortable. If this wasn't true, nobody would make or purchase those controllers and grips.

>>10958158
Copper doesn't expand twice its size. Maybe like 1.0002% its size.

>>10958190
That doesn't include a statement to the effect that "the Switch is not ergonomic", did you quote the wrong post?

>>10958095
There's like four different conversations happening around you as you posted this, nothing's dead.

>>10957983
-Two screens at once, you can swap between this and an alternative layout with slighly bigger right screen
-high 3d resolution runs like crap
-for some reason unless r2 is down it won't register other inputs

However, stop being such an obtuse little faggot about this. You know damn well that in a discussion about one product (the Deck) compared to another (the Switch) that any qualitative statements about one is in comparison to the other. It's implied. If some people find it more comfortable to get accessories and controllers for the Switch to match the Deck's ergonomics because they are more comfortable than the Switch's are normally, then the Switch isn't as ergonomic as the Deck is. But typing all that out sounded condescending and retarded, so to be pragmatic, a nigga's just going to say "Switch isn't ergonomic" with it in comparison to the Deck, because that was the current discussion, 'eck and 'itch comfortability due to size.

Saying it isn't ergonomic compared to the Deck is not saying it isn't ergonomic at all. Stop this obtuse faggotry that only period people and flamboyant dragqueens do.

>a nigga

>>10958094
whoops

Size literally doesn't matter as long as the weight and actual ergonomics of how you hold it are both comfortable. As a device becomes larger, it needs more dedicated grips for your hands. This is why the Joycons are acceptable for their shape; because of their size, they're easier to wrap your fingers around them so they don't need as detailed grips. The Wii U gamepad though, holy fuck what a piece of shit. The scale of everything on it makes the entire thing feel bigger than it actually is and the grooves on the back to rest your fingers are so fucking terrible for holding onto a device of its size. God, the Wii U truly was worse than FisherPrice tier. Vtech and Leapfrog are doing insane things with their toddler electronic toys these days that Nintendo should unironically be taking notes from.

>>10958292
a larger device is easier to break

>>10958292
>This is why the Joycons are acceptable
I'm hoping you mean detached and on their own, because using them connected to the tablet is horrific.

>>10958245
Oh you

>>10958303
Of course, unless you know somebody who can wrap their fingers around an entire Switch.

>>10958094
interesting texture on that copper...

Which one am I supposed to buy? I’ve never bought chink shit

>>10957803
I did this with my Samsung Galaxy M30, so a way weaker smartphone than the A52 you've got, it's a shame since PS2 is really tough to emulate, but PSP still works fine... other systems like N64 and Saturn also give me trouble, but Dreamcast and PS1 do well, I imagine that with the A52 it's be a lot smoother. I think it's still valid to go for one of these dedicated handhelds if you want still.

I mean, a lot of people like them thanks to their novelty and charm alone, the form factor and the aesthetic... but function? A smartphone is just as good, as long as you use a good controller for it.

t. Samsung Galaxy M30 and MOCUTE 060 user. It's nothing crazy, but this is cheap and works.

>>10958375
it doesn't matter that much but the 2GB ram is worth the extra price and you can put arkos on the internal storage

>>10958375
none because that's a shit form factor for a handheld with joysticks

>>10958375
Those two are fucking shit. What are you looking for?

>>10958113
it was a simpler time

>>10958404
I’m not gonna use joysticks tho. Probably only gonna play Gen 2 - 4 and some GBA. I don’t like 3D games
>>10958403
They are only a ten dollar difference so I guess I’ll get the one you suggested. Thanks

>>10958053
ok, nkw is this one being mass produced?

>>10958412
Something under $70 that can play SNES, PCE, Genesis, GBA while I’m at the doctors office. I am very sick and gonna die, always have to go in for weekly visits.

>>10958421
Sorry to hear it. 35XX Plus (careful you don't buy the 2024 version or the original) has a much better d-pad if you're looking for a vertical and it's cheaper.

>>10958421
SF-2000 is $20 and very comfortable to hold/use, plays up to GBA and SNES, shines with Genesis.

>>10958431
>I just want SNES, PCE, Genesis, GBA
>You should buy this device that plays up to DreamCast and N64 for extra money for no good reason then!

>>10958431
The RG35XX Plus is $87 with shipping and $5 coupon, anon.

>>10958438
>You should buy this device that plays up to DreamCast and N64
It doesn't actually, that's false advertisement. I got burned bad on the 353V's d-pad so I'm not recommending the original in case it's the same.

>>10958431
>>10958434
Thanks for the suggestions.
>>10958438
I don’t mind paying a bit extra for better quality. I don’t want something too flimsy

>>10958447
The fuck? I got it for $40 a few weeks ago on Ali.

>>10958447
And don't forget the tip!

>>10958447
The reason why I posted >>10958375
And inquired about it is because they are 65$ atm on sale. I use this chink clothes app to buy gifts for my wife, and saw them advertising this handheld

>>10958451
Might as well drop this while I'm at it, too.

>>10958417
Just get a Miyoo Mini + or a RG35XX + if that's all you wanna play.

>>10958457
Not only are the Miyoo Mini + and the RG35XX Plus not even comparable systems but both are overkill for just GBA.

Almost every ambernig has the battery right next to the CPU, why is it suddenly such a big deal now?

>>10958417
then get an rg35xx derivative without the sticks if you're going with something form anbernic

>>10958463
In what world? What's your metric of enough GBA, gpSP not even hitting 200% on fast forward?

>>10958469
>It's not a good GBA experience unless I can fast forward everything, download somebody else's completed save, and connect to retro achievements via wifi!
Okay

>>10958478
People expect the ability to fast forward on JRPGs and that's a constant complaint from Mini owners, yes.

>>10958469
>What's your metric of enough GBA
I select the game and it plays like it would on original hardware, with no problems or additions.

>>10958481
Why are you playing JRPGs if you want to skip the dialogue? Or are you one of those fucking end-game meta Pokemon trainers fagalords?

>>10958485
You've never been a Battle Tower Champion and you never will be.

>>10958482
Yeah, about that, gPSP is ancient and only used in performance restricted cases like Mini and old 35XX. 35XX Plus defaults on and runs mGBA fine.

>>10958485
I don't fast forward, but I'm not a spastic unable to understand people who do and why.

>>10958487
Oooh darn..! Looks like you got me there! I have never wanted to be one because I'm not a fagalord.

>>10958464
it was always a big deal, people largely just didn't realize it was happening until now. i remember a ton of posts on reddit talking about how their rg353p simply wouldn't power on or charge anymore. this is probably why.

>>10958502
I think it only became an issue when people had to open their RG35XX's to fix/change the buttons for something better and not only discovered the battery issue but also suggested Anbernic start putting battery covers on their devices so the battery can be removed.
