If Yuzu updates, is it going to be possible to play full speed 1x res Switch on RP4P? Or is it just down to hardware at this point?

Is this nigga worth my shekels?

If you need PS1 there's also PowKiddy Q20 and Q90

Most emus use xbox controller layout. Anyone know where I can switch trimui layout to match? Feel like it'll be less of a hassle changing console controls instead of each emu individually to match it.

Jealous?

Also, I appreciate some based dudes made emulators for those Pokemon Mini nanopets and almost the entire Tiger licensed Handheld library, playable on these chinkhelds even, but has anyone done the same with all of the handheld Radioshack and Toy Quest games?

>>11116948
I remember when the domain name bubble exploded in the early 2000s but corporations were so ass-hard to have ".com" everything that they literally started calling products ".com"s, until everything became "e"s (electronic) then became "i"s (copying Apple's branding), then became "v"s (virtual). I specifically never got to enjoy a Game.com growing up because the mere name alone made it sound like retardedly junky ass even for a Tiger handheld.

I miss gmenu2x. It's not as well suited to Retroarch though, previous emulator handhelds running on Ingenic processors mostly used standalone emulators and an inconsistent trend of selecting your ROM through gmenu2x or the emulator's own menu.
Everything on the budget side is using Rockchip or Allwinner now, which is probably for the better.

Apparently the fucking RG Nano uses Gmenu2x though so go figure.

>>11116784
Nintendo will go after every last fork of Yuzu.
Code's toxic, no developer worth their salt will touch it.

The best bet now would be to fork Ryujinx with Android/ARM focused builds and development.

Why are GBAs so expensive? I can't find any cheap ones for modding, even DS is cheaper. It doesn't make any sense.

>>11116971
Combinations of Etsy artists buying them to gut them into trendy wall decorations, the massive retro bubble during Covid, and now two new generations wanting their own authentic gameboys to for clout.

>>11116971
The GBA had a very short run from 2001 to 2005.
The DS launched in 2004 with the DS Lite in 2006, and the 3DS was a 2011 launch.

GBA basically had 3-4 years tops whilst the DS kept going for 7 years whilst being GBA backwards compatible.
There's far more DS systems on supply than GBA as a result.

>>11116979
Nintendo was originally scared shitless of the PSP's announcement and claimed they were doing some "triple threat" approach with the GameCube, GBA, and NDS because they had no faith in the DS whatsofuckingever.
And then when it was retardedly popular they killed the GBA and told third parties to work on porting all current GBA projects to the DS instead. Which was fine for most since they could get away with the DS having physical GBA hardware to not need to change much to work. But then projects like the GBA version of Mega Man Anniversary Collection were cancelled after months of failing to port GBC related projects to the DS.

>>11116791
He tried to endorse the RG40XX H, but it could never compete to the CHADUI Smart Pro.

I don't know why you guys are getting nostalgic for Dingoo UIs now, I always hated that shit.

>>11116993
>Mega Man Anniversary Collection were cancelled
To be fair, Mega Man already has too many games on the GBA.

>>11117050
Yeah, including the two versions of multiple Battle Network titles, there were at least 16 Mega Man titles available on the GBA.

It's just a shame that Mega Man Mania couldn't be one of them. The only classic Mega Man title on GBA was Mega Man & Bass. Pretty weird choice honestly.

>>11116971
>even DS is cheaper
Yeah, but good luck finding a DS in good condition without a horribly scratched/discolored shell, yellowed screens or missing shit. And the DS is a pain in the ass when it comes to reshelling or rescreening, and you can't get better modded screens, just transfer them from another DS.

For GBA games do you guys turn shaders on or off? The pixelization seem more "real" but the smooth looking art with it off seem easier on the eyes for me.

If it's a smaller display and integer scaling is possible, I generally prefer sharp pixels so long as the image isn't too small.
If it is, I'll do a shader that's designed for non-integer scaling to keep the look of sharp pixels with as little shimmering as possible, and then add a grid overlay to help with the look.

The shader that Nintendo provides for NSO GBA is surprisingly good. I'm also surprised that I can emulate it full speed in Ryujinx but that's besides the point.
I tend to not play GBA games on larger displays anyway, largest would be a Switch in handheld mode, and that's for the Mega Man Battle Network Legacy Collection more than anything (which has a shit super eagle /2xSAL style filter).

Expecting more than 2d indie games is setting yourself up for fail. While some 3d work, you're better off getting an odin that can brute force it. Developing for android and the shitty gpu is the last thing on the few switch emulator developers' minds.

>>11116993
Didn't they lose the source code to the games? Or was that more of an issue for the mainline megaman games?

I wonder if anyone's ever tried to mod a GBA slot into the DSi. Or a GBA link cable port onto a DS.

>>11117325
Shouldn't it be easier instead since we're talking ARM SOC and mobile GPU?

>>11117318
He barely praised it though. PSP was the literal catch for buying TSP, and he states without all the hacks and workarounds to get games work, it's just okay.

>>11117360
He also didn't try the standalone Flycast emulator on Crossmix, which has better Dreamcast performance than what he showed.

>>11117050
>>11117328
They were just going to run five or six GameBoy and GameBoy Color Mega Man games like both Mega Man Xtremes, basically using roms and using the GBA's native ability to run GB and GBC games. Because they didn't have the source code for most of the titles anymore (as it was common practice to delete a game's source code once it went gold so you had the storage space to make a new game), but when they were stonewalled by Capcom's immediate bendover and acceptance of Nintendo telling them to cancel all GBA projects and bring them to the Nintendo DS, and the NDS didn't have the internal hardware to just play GB and GBC games, they had to abandon trying to make the GB and GBC roms run on the NDS after a couple of months of attempts.
Also can I just say I fucking hated how the console versions of these anniversary collection games for Pac-man and Megaman and Sonic and such having exclusive unique content on each console was total bullshit. I can't remember which game, but like the GameCube version got the full anime with subs and dubs, the Xbox version got excessive amounts of exclusive alpha and beta early design concept artwork, animations, in-depth discussion of how the game evolved into its final form... and then the PS2 version got ten terrible no-name remixes of some tracks in a shitty in-game media player in the its bonus menu. Maybe it was Mega Man Anniversary Collection.

>>11117406

Not Retro but the reasons around Mega Man Legends 3's cancellation are biblically stupider for no good fucking reason at all. One of Capcom's most embarrassing blunders during a small period where they just couldn't stop shooting themselves in the foot concerning all of their franchises.

Why does this digital encyclopedia not include the most important part; How in 2011 they got over 30,000 active fans in a Facebook Group and 70,000 active fans on Twitter supporting, endorsing, and contributing towards making Mega Man Legends 3...
Only for Capcom to shitcan cancel the whole fucking thing days before the PAY TO PLAY Chapter 0 demo of it in the same sense as Dead Rising 2's paid demo shit, and specifically blamed the fans for not being involved enough?
Thousands of Mega Man fans bought a 3DS in 2011 and waited a year for the eShop to fucking open just to pay and play the MML3 demo only for Capcom to say, "fuck you, you didn't get 3.5 million people invested."
"3.5 million" was a goal for literally every release Capcom did a the time, and even if a game sold three million copies and made $50,000,000 in profit Capcom was like, "NOPE, NOT THE 3.5. FUCK YOU ALL, GAME DONE."

>>11116993
Indeed, so. If they cared more about colorizing all 5 of the OG GameBoy Megaman games, they should have gotten and reserved several or so warehouses in check for at not only business transactions and personal notes, but also source code disks and carts. Damn, the prevailing attitude of Japanese devs towards game preservation regarding source code from the formative years up through the early 2000s is like the silent era and early talkie era views of the worth of films after they were done with their theatrical run.

>>11116786
In all seriousness I still wonder why he would still recommend Anbernic handhelds at the end like the RG35XXSP. Did he forget about the shitshow involving their exploding batteries, or how Anbernic has demonstrated that they aren't really trustworthy?

>>11117620
I missed the boat on the BittBoy. Almost got an Atomic Purple RetroMax earlier this year though

>>11117867
I legitimately think he's just a shill now trying to balance the credibility of his brand with keeping his masters happy. There is no fucking universe where the TSP ergos, controls, and screen don't take it over all those h700 handhelds easily. The 40xx gets the closest due to ergos and screen, but the d-pad kills it.

>>11117889
Anbernic must write some good checks for him and other chinkheld reviewers to shill their devices that hard. Not even their good ones but their worst or at best mediocre ones. That or Anbernic has a bunch of triad hitmen willing to go after anyone stepping out of line.

I know it's expensive... but I think these foldable smartphones that are coming out over the years are pretty decent options for emulation, maybe with a telescopic controller. I know a tablet isn't too different in theory, but one fun thing about these foldables is that when using their internal display, the aspect ratio is pretty much 4:3 in all of them, or at least close to 4:3 I guess, it works.

I obviously wouldn't get an expensive foldable if this is my only use for it, but if you were going to get one anyways... then yes, this is awesome in a lot of ways, a 6' 4:3 screen on a handheld is nice.

He claimed a stable build is pretty much ready a few weeks ago, but I doubt he's actually going to release it. regardless the last version he put up for download is basically done and doesn't need updates anyways.

Newb here. I get told to buy Steam Deck by a lot of people, but I just don't get it. The thing is huge and heavy, how do you even play it lying down? And no, don't give me cope answers how Deck is literally perfect and I'm bad for not liking it. The thing weighs more than Sega Nomad, I can't imagine how this hunk of shit has """perfect ergonomics""". And what's the battery life anyway, I heard it's 4 hours when used heavily?
I want PS2/GC and ideally Switch, but I don't care much for X360 onward. I just feel far better with a smaller, lighter handheld that isn't a brick. Like, you know, every handheld except for Deck. Plus, in my cunt it's still relatively expensive, base version is near 400 bucks.
What's worse, every time I read Deck owner posts, they're just acting like attention seeking faggots non stop, telling how GBC is LITERALLY PERFECT on their Deck. I guess buying a Deck means you never shut the fuck up about owning a Deck, and also take every opportunity to shit on other devices to shill Deck. I just don't know if Deck is actually that good or these people are just clowns.

>>11118559
a steam deck is pretty much a laptop with worse ergos and manchild form factor

>>11118559

>>11118598
Well don't get me wrong, but pretty much every popular handheld is 150-300g. From GB to GBA to DS / PSP to Switch to Retroid / Odin / etc.. And then there's Deck at 669g.
I think Steam could as well release some gayming phone that weighs like a brick at this point, like those 80s phones, and people will still shill it like 2nd coming of Jesus and post pictures of how they play Pokemon Red on it. It's like those super heavy bulky gaming laptops that defeat the purpose of having laptops.
There's a reason devices aren't heavy anymore and I don't know what kind of hands one needs to have to actually hold this shit for a long time (not put it on your lap, but actually hold it).

>>11118774
shitch and odin 2 are both over 400g you retard. odin 1 is close enough to 400g.

>>11118781
Ok I was wrong about Switch, Switch Lite is 277g though. Odin 2 is definitely on the heavier side and probably the reason there's a mini version too.

Why don't you own the best handheld?

It really sucks going back and realizing how many Anbernic reviews were probably paid ads. Ignoring the screens that fall out of 405M models, downplaying the light bleeding screens on the cube while still recommending them, still recommending some of their devices when there was no clue if the snapping cardinal sticks could be fixed, and they still say shit like "Anbernic promised this will be looked into" when tons of their recent releases still have problems.

First time with a PSP, and holy FUARK this thing is light as a feather compared to my Vita. Buttons are way comfier than on the Vita, too; I don’t get why people say “just get a Vita” for PSP when the PSP buttons are far superior. Also, it’s crazy how PSP games look blurry as shit on anything besides the native screen.

Welp, you gotta start somewhere...

>>11118987
Which model is it?

>>11119010

>>11118095
don't mind if i do

>>11119031
you have to turn the blur filtering off though which a lot of cunts don't know how to do.

Speaking of the Vita, what's a good price for a CIB Vita?

>>11119031
I like the clicky dpad. Great for psp and the 5 arcade fighters it can emulate. That said, I feel like I can go further. I plan on taking the vita's dpad and putting it in the smart pro (I'll ask powkiddy to make a custom shell) and buy a broken neo geo x and putting it's control stick in my vita. Retarded or genius?

>Buttons are way comfier than on the Vita
I totally agree. I generally love the Vita and it's UI, but it has worse ergonomics than the PSP revisions. The back of that thing is wack - the handle divots on the ends make no sense for holding. I like the clicky buttons, but don't like their size at all. I'd rather hold a PSP any day.
Damn, that blue looks nice.

That's basically one of three handhelds.
>ANBERNIC RG ARC-S
>ANBERNIC RG353PS
>ANBERNIC RG353VS

They are all more or less the same console with a VGA screen, but with a different form factor (and button layout with no analogue sticks for the RG ARC).
They're all around the $70-80 mark on Anbernic's own site.

The S models are cheaper than the non-S models because they lack Android support, have 1GB memory instead of 2GB, and lack a touch screen.
If those things matter to you, add $20 to the price. The shells for the S/Non-S models also different and you may prefer the aesthetics of one over the other.

The RG353M with an aluminium shell is also available but way more expensive.

CFW is popular for these devices, but be warned that if you want to install Rocknix CFW, this requires you to wipe the Android installation from the supported models (there's a good chance you wouldn't use Android anyway).
https://rocknix.org/devices/anbernic/rg353pmvvs/

This is apparently due to a change in the Linux bootloader or something, rather than a conscious decision by the Rocknix maintainers.

>>11119487

This is what the ARC-S looks like.

It's better suited to Arcade and SEGA titles thanks to the button layout, but it's ironically not powerful enough to really play Saturn games well.

Has any handheld ever had VGA output? The cheapest shit is usually composite cables.

>>11119793

>>11119834
Should I make it the default for everything?

>>11119871
No need. You can install gpSP from the package manager. Then it’ll be on the “Expert” tab with all your GBA games listed. And then the normal list for GBA will still use mGBA for stuff that doesn’t need speedup.

>why people say “just get a Vita” for PSP when the PSP buttons are far superior
Because the buttons only matter when you actually mash them. If you're playing something turn-based, the crystal clear large screen is much more important than inconvenient buttons, especially for PS1 games. That said, the PSP is much more portable, durable and indeed generally comfier than the Vita, it just has a shitty screen.
OLED screens for the PSP fucking where?

>>11120074
The 3000 screen is good enough
>b-but muh interlacing
I like it, makes the game look more “retro”. If this were on emulator, I’d probably use a shader that looked just like it.

>>11120052
>reacondicone
>tamar
Disgusting.

>>11117215
take a good pic of your GBA screen running a game to see how bad it looks.

>>11118987
>Buttons are way comfier than on the Vita, too; I don’t get why people say “just get a Vita” for PSP when the PSP buttons are far superior.
4U. If you tried playing a fighting game you'd realize that Vita's clicky buttons and D-pad have far better actuation time than PSP's and that makes it easier for the player to react quickly. And the "classic" PlayStation-style D-pad (which the Vita doesn't use) fucking sucks, it's damn near impossible to quickly press a diagonal. Vita is so good when it comes to controls that I even use it as a controller for my PS3 because the official Sony ones suck.
>Also, it’s crazy how PSP games look blurry as shit on anything besides the native screen.
Does this look blurry to you? Like I've said many times before, you and most other people complaining about PSP games on Vita just don't know how to turn on proper integer scaling in Adrenaline.

It's not lol. The real issue with Anbernigger D-pads is that they use a square hole instead of a circular one. You can cope with tape all you want, it will not truly fix their fundamental design flaw.

Do any of the IPS mods for the GBA look better than the DSi XL? The DSi XL has the best looking screen of any unmodded Nintendo handheld for sure.

can someone recommend an aftermarket replacement battery for the n3dsxl? something that doesnt explode on me and holds a longer charge

https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B07YNZBH46

>>11122107
Nope.
Best you can do is a TFT kit, which is just a normal DSi screen. Not as good as DSi XL, but better than IPS slop.

>>11122396
AetherSX2's development has ended a long time ago, what you see is more than likely what you'll get. No one else seems interested in picking up the mantle, and NetherSX2 doesn't seem to be anywhere as involved.

>>11122396
it was a miracle we got aethersx2 to begin with, your next bet is an official pcsx2 port or "Play!"

>>11122470
Stenzek (Tahlreth) had another schizophrenic episode and burned his final bridges with the PCSX2 team a few weeks ago. Because of him the only core developer decided to leave PCSX2 so the whole project is dead in the water right now. Another ARM port is unlikely to happen any time soon.

Anyone with experience using the pocket 4 pro?

I have the pocket 2 which I do really like, but the joystick is basically useless. I would like to emulate up to gamecube/wii which the pocket 2 can actually handle some of that, but the shitty joystick makes it unplayable.

Is the pocket 4 pro a good pickup, or is there something better around the $200 price point?

I think no one cares. PS2 emulation is "good enough" on Android for most people and the main development is on PC which gets people more clout. I hate to say it, but I think Android emulation has hit its peak.

>>11123729
You're probably right. It's in a better spot then Linux, but won't attract savant tier developers as much now unless snapdragon handhelds become prolific rather than a niche chinese import

>>11122470
He had the full right to cease development, but putting in ads after the fact was a very scummy move. Also made him look like a hypocrite because there were disclaimers in the emulator that said it should come with no ads before. He also fucked with it to prevent it being launched through activities to prevent ad embedding, which also prevented AetherSX2 from being started using launchers like Daijisho. I guess he got tired of people acting like assholes towards him and decided he'd do the same.

Those cost too much. Might as well get a used Steam Deck and be able to emulate PS3 and play PC games at that point. No reason to gimp myself with Android on a 250 EUR device. See, this is the problem. If you want actual good PS2 emulation, PC handhelds become more cost-effective because they can also do lots of other stuff. ARM should have better price-to-performance ratio because it doesn't suffer from the same duopoly licensing hell that X86 does, yet that isn't the case. And this is the proof that the state of PS2 emulation on Android is nowhere near good, especially when compared to its contemporary: the GameCube. Cheaper ARM chips should be able to run PS2 better.

has there been any issues with the cube from anbernic? i recall reading something about screen bleed but im not sure if they fixed it or not

So what's the hottest meme handheld? I got an RG35XX last summer and it's not really comfortable for stuff that require shoulder buttons.

I am enjoying my 4 pro. I'm playing some vita and 3ds games on it along with some light switch. I can't complain about the joysticks, but I'm not really playing anything that requires super accurate joystick movement.

I already have a deck but wanted something smaller. Until cheaper handhelds start using better processors, the 4 pro gives you decent bang for your buck.

>>11117956
My first vertical handheld. Spent about 80% of the time playing Game Boy Tetris and using it for MP3's. The resolution is actually perfect for GBA. This is also when I realized I prefer Harvest Moon over Pokemon games

$339 early bird for dmg and $189 for micro. You guys are getting both, right?

>>11124224
I don't even know what you're talking about.

>>11124225
Ayaneo's latest deals

>>11124224
I guess it was naive to assume either would be cheap because the DMG has a Snapdragon G3x 2 shoved into it for some ungodly reason, and the Micro seems to have aluminum parts which undoubtedly drove up the price too. But goddamn, I didn't expect the Pocket Air I bought last year to be a bargain in comparison.

>nearly 2 months since retro tech dad received his rg cube
>still no review
I used to think he only did all those tablet/phone videos because no one would send him handhelds, but it turns out he's just a moron that legitimately prefers mobile slop.

>>11124340
Which air did you get? I was looking at the lowest tier when it went on sale, but the reviews weren't good for it. Higher tiers are still a little too much to me. I wish they had a slightly better cheap version.

The snapdragon seems overkill with a 3.92 screen. You can play switch and phone games on it but barely see them.

>>11124228
I swear Aya Neo devices must be designed by AI.

>>11123241
I heard good things about the pocket 2s so I ordered one a few days ago. I'm hoping it will work well since I can't standing having no tactile feedback from a phone screen to play old snes games.

>>11124373
Those are great positions for a joystick and touchpad.

>>11124367
I just went with the cheapest model, the one with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. Its a good enough device for me, in some games like Yakuza 1, GTA3, Persona 4 or Silent Hill 2/3 on AetherSX2 I had zero issues running them at 2.5x internal resolution with widescreen hacks. Other games like Drakengard 1 were basically unplayable since it mostly hit 60fps during gameplay but tanks the moment any UI elements appear, and Gran Turismo 3 and 4 have too many issues with slow down for my liking.

On a slightly unrelated note, Anbernic is making their own clone of Ayaneo's pocket DMG, just with an H700. This might be the most stereotypically chinese company ever, literally copying their competition.

>>11124397
That can't be fucking real.

What’s the best pocketable handheld that can do ps2

>>11125303
RP4 Pro or Odin 2 Mini.

>>11125303
RP4P can do a lot of PS2 but I heard it's still compromised somewhat for some games. Odin 2 Mini can really tear through the catalog though but it's just barely outside the cusp of being pocketable.

Ok, where is the RP2 Pro, or the RP3S ?

>>11124395

>>11125323
What do you mean? Both links exist.

>>11125148
Where did you order for $90? It's like $60 or less all the time on Ali. As much as Abernic deserves the shit they get for things like exploding batteries, lightbleed, shitty sticks, and the screens falling out, I think the RG35xxh is a decent product. I've bought five so for family and friends as gifts and told them to let me know if it craps out on them. So far, none of them had any complaints beyond not being able to use a USB c to c cable and the fact that both connectors don't charge. As for playing games with it, they all enjoyed so far and thought it was a neat little product. But most of them are using it for gba and they don't know or care enough to complain about screen ratios and shaders.

>>11124395
Thats the worst position for a thumbstick in fact.

>>11125404

Still better than the anbernig somehow. We both know only two chinks get hinges right. Gpd and picrel. That's right, max zhou is somehow now BELOW powchaddy for fucking around too much. Zpg makes the unicorn? Rushes the cube. Ayaneo brick? Why not another vertislop with a worse chip. Powkiddy's last four devices on the otherhand had acutal thought put into them. Wtf happened?

>>11126310
Gpd actually didn't get hinges right until the xd+. The first one was like the ds lite's.

Russ, please stop downplaying Anbernic being copycats...the Cube is an obvious copycat of the A1 Unicorn, Anbernic's newest device is even turning out to be a cheap copy of the Ayaneo Pocket DMG. There's no "Chicken or the egg" scenario.

>>11126359
Isn't russ like in 4 handheld pissocrds? He should know max admitted to copying the unicorn out of pure spite.

Is it just me or has ambernic dropped in product quality lately? Ironically the latest powkiddy devices have better production quality because I haven't heard anything about the V10's have exploded in a fire unlike other devices.....

>>11126364
Powkiddy got the memo it was a dumb idea putting the cpu under the battery after the rk2023 which was a fine device aside from that flaw. It's strange how the two switched roles becasue powkiddy used to rush devices out the ass with bizarre designs.

>>11126364
I think it's just people becoming more aware. If anything this is this best they've ever been in terms of quality (still shit), but it was something no one talked about in the 353 era when those things were dying left and right, wifi and screen issues, etc.

>>11126368
353p also used the battery as a heatsink.

>>11124704
so you telling psp screen is not 272p but 272i?

>>11126385
I swear the anbernic rk3566 devices were all worse than the competition not counting the arc. Heat, screens falling out, more battery issues than other 3566 devices. I understand shilling the 405m, but 353 era was fucking terrible.

>>11126523
I probably should've said sorta right. I heard it new units needed to be opened as slowly as possible for the first uses. I guess powkiddy really is the only one to get it right on their first try.

Let me guess… you need moar

To this day, I still don’t understand why the New 3DS didn’t just have a second slider on the bottom right instead of that retarded C-stick

Is there a worse hell than being a cube owner?

>>11126386
It's not. I think that screen just alternates between drawing brighter and darker lines, I remember reading that GBA SP screens do something similar because I noticed that effect in real life. As for why it does that? Idk, there probably is some engineering reason that I haven't dug deep enough to find out.

>>11126303

>>11126578

>>11126578
If he really just means the gbasp, he's kinda right. The v90 uses the worst plastic I ever touched but all they did was copy the sp's hinge to a t and it came out fine. I saw they because powkiddy didn't make it. They just used laptop style hinges for the x18 models.

No thanks. And if I wanted to, the RGB30 is bright enough to play both indoors AND outdoors anyways.

I really wonder how Anbernic is going to copy Ayaneo’s Pocket Micro, because at the current rate the company is operating, I’m predicting a 405m refresh.

>>11126642
It’s still amazing how Powkiddy is able to get their hands on some really good screens for their devices. Even the screen on the original X18 was great, though the specs and feel of the buttons weren’t 4 years ago.

>>11126675

God damn microhandheld frens, I'm so fucking excited. It reminds me of the first time I played the gba micro back in the day. Really wish this and the gkd pixel could have a baby though. The pixel doesn't have a RTC function and at the size, I might as well just play on my MM+. Have spent hours researching the device already, but happy to hear any tips from owners of the device, especially if it is a pkmn device. Does this faggot ever go on sale?

The Trimui Smart (Non-Pro) is pretty fun, comfortable, looks nice and cheap. Paid $28 for it and I'm faffing about in Clover right now. Plays a surprising bit of PS1 even, so I can play stuff like Diablo or X-Com UFO Defense and Terror from the Deep on it.

>Is there a reason you prefer the KTR
The XL is prone to the shell peeling. The difference in durability is immediately obvious with the smaller model having a more premium feel. The swappable faceplates are a plus too. I find both models pretty uncomfortable with the dpad being in the wrong place but the larger one makes this problem worse.
Basically the DSi XL is the most premium feeling DS model and the one comfiest to use if you have big hands as well as the one with the biggest screens but the 3DS XL is just the 3DS model with the largest screens but feels cheaper and is worse to hold than the smaller models.

Every time I check back in here there's incrementally new anberic models for sale, how many people actually buy a handheld and stick with it instead of buying the new thing as they drop because the performance is so shit for [platform] maybe the new one fixes it, people on /g/ end up starting retro handheld collections instead of playing games.

Fun fact: PSP-2000 can only output progressive signal to a TV in games, while PSP-3000 can output interlaced signal too. This has nothing to do with the screen though.

Not my problem, I bought an R36S.

Is the cube worth getting? Currently own a steam deck, but the shit hurts to play due to being a handlet.

>>11127884
literally me

was shocked at how shameless he's gotten, couldn't make it past a few minutes either

saying it's more like the rgb30 cause the a1 has a flatter back versus the cube sent me, and then talking about how nice it is to unevenly hold the device because the dpad is in the wrong place made me audibly snort and i x'd out

>>11127059
goated chinkheld dpad and inputs imo, the smart is a great micro

>>11118029
at this point why not just connect a ps5 controller or bitdo controller with bluetooth
>muh pockets
they make really small bitdo without sticks.

Somehow, they gave the Ayaneo EVO a decent price tag. At the very least it makes way more sense than the Pocket DMG/S and you get a 7" OLED panel.
Still don't know why you'll need 16gb of RAM on Android unless you plan on using Winlator for this though.

>>11128656
Good value, but I still think screens over 6" are too fucking big for a handheld. I put up with it on the 'eck because there are no other good dpad-top options in the handheld PC space, but the entire point of ARM handhelds for me is smaller size and weight.

>>11128656
Looks like they're trying to be competitive with Odin2 pricing.

>>11126776
I bought one as my first chinkheld, got it for 186.40 bucks from the official Aliexpress Anbernic store. Here's the QRD:
>Pretty big but reasonably comfortable and ergonomic, can play for hours on end
>Buttons and D-Pad are decent
>Sticks are okay, not really ultra-precise unfortunately but definitely usable
>Triggers are decent if you don't hold it like a retard
>Good quality screen but for some reason I find it way too fucking dark unless I'm at max brightness
>Installed GammaOS on it, it's great but I still need to setup the DS emulator because the touchscreen controls suck ass out of the box and Castlevania DoS runs at half speed for some reason
>Otherwise everything up to Dreamcast runs perfectly, +PSP.
>GammaOS and Daijisho are great but for some reason I've fucked up the N64 emulator on Retroach, I just downloaded Mupen64 standalone, problem solved
>Pretty good autonomy, can play 10 hours of light stuff, and 6 hours of Playstation/N64/Dreamcast
All in all it's a pretty great handheld, I just wish it was powerful enough to run every GC and PS2 games, and also more precise sticks.

I finally went ahead and bought a pack of Game Box Mini's. They're not as big as my previous brick game handheld but I'm hoping they're still better than the last keychain one I got (arcade cabinet shaped, impossible to play)

As much as I like my Game Box Plus collection it's nice to have something smaller and simpler for just waiting for a page to load or w/e

>>11128439
It is. I actually find myself playing it more often compared to my Smart Pro which is surprising.

It's weird that Dreamcast is a lot easier to emulate than Saturn.

Not familiar enough with why but the Saturn working with square polygons instead of triangular polygons is probably a part of it. Modern 3D hardware and everything else works in triangles.

They're so heckin cute

If it's good I'm collecting every color

>>11128949
Dreamcast's architecture is extremely simple and straightforward. Saturn's is everything but.

>>11128949
Saturn has a lot of chips, Dreamcast has less chips and less games (that require compatibility)

anybody try this thing?

>>11129047
Yep, I already bought and returned one. Waiting for Unicorn orders to go up. If you have any specific questions I can try to answer as unbiasedly as possible.

>Waiting for Unicorn orders to go up
I already got mine from here, already commented on it in a previous thread https://es.aliexpress.com/item/1005007233337076.html
That said, it was on "sale", by which I mean even after using the code I could get it at the upper range of its speculative final recommended price of $120-150. Right now it's grossly overpriced.

If you aren't playing The Terminator for SEGA CD right now I urge you to play it, it's phenomenal to me and way better than all of the other titles we got back then based on the 1st film... I did enjoy both the Genesis and Master System/Game Gear versions still, but not like this... and it's genuinely 10x better, maybe 100x better, than both of the Nintendo ones, mainly the SNES one that I hate.

I'm still rocking my Galaxy M30 and Mocute 060 combination, it works well enough. Having this energy drink in my skull mug to fit with what I'm playing. What a comfortable day so far, it's nice.

>why did you return?
The d-pad being so fucking low bothered me more than I was hoping it would. I was buying it mainly for shmups, Game Gear, NGPC, etc and ultimately found it's just not comfortable to use with these d-pad focused games. The d-pad itself is also very tough to press with very little pivot, basically the polar opposite of the one on the RG Arc. It's not a floating d-pad at all, and if anything feels more like a Xbox Series d-pad than a Saturn one. Honestly, that still could've been good if it was placed in the correct position, but it wasn't. Granted, it's still in the wrong location on the Unicorn as well, but it sits a bit higher and sounds like it's a proper SEGA style floating d-pad, so I'm holding out hope that I'll be able to cope. The speakers firing downward is also really gay, but I would've been able to reluctantly cope with that if the d-pad situation was sorted.
>Any issues with light bleed? is the form factor good for tate mode and SNES?
I had pretty noticeable light bleed along the top, yeah. And yes, the screen is great for those.
>Does saturn run decently?
In Yabashiro it does, yes. I didn't even attempt Beetle Saturn kek. My issue is that Saturn aspect ratio is generally pretty wide, and the resulting picture on this display is a bit small for my shitty old man eyes. You can correct to 4:3 ofc if that's your preference and it'll give you a bigger image, but that's still only 3.5". Which may be perfectly fine for you tbf.

>>11129264
>why did you return?
i did not :)
>Any issues with light bleed?
There's very very faint bleed along the bottom edge, I have to set the screen to pitch black and practically look above the bezel to spot it. It doesn't bother me.
>is the form factor good for tate mode
I guess it's good? Half of the point of a 1:1 ratio is that you don't need to rotate the console for vert games.
I did temptatively hold the console on the right side. My left thumb lands squarely on the right joystick and I have a lot of control on it on this position. The B and Y buttons are very easy to hit. A and X take a bit of a concerned effort to hit or a looser grip.
>and SNES?
Yeah, it's pretty good.
If your grip is lowered to have greater control over the D-Pad, you may miss on L2 depending on your hand size, but SNES games makes no use of it.
>Does saturn run decently?
https://litter.catbox.moe/5ncw6i.mp4 related, Panzer runs at 60FPS on high performance mode.
You can see me dropping to regular performance mode halfway at which point you see a few drops here and there. On normal mode it drops to 30 when there's anything moving onscreen.
I also tried Nights off camera and I get 60FPS on normal mode
All of this was with the yaba core on retroarch; It might perform better on the standalone emulator but i'm not fucking paying some faggot who has the gall to shove wish ads on my face AND not even allow me to list a directory on the free version.
As an aside, I have no fucking clue what ross was smoking. It's a given he tested panzer dragoon on normal mode to shill the cube, but he had to actively make nights run worse somehow for the video.
>other issues
The screen had play and would lift from the right side. I figure my failed attempts at setting the screen protector managed to lift it from its groove since it had no anchorings other than being a tight fit. It has a nice flat plastic surface behind, on which I put a few drops of standard contact glue, and it hasn't moved since.

>>11129375
I'll make sure to check them out! Thanks, anon.

anybody have any preference of the Odin 2 vs. mini?

I think I'm leaning towards the mini but am concerned about whether the sticks and buttons feel as good
