/vr/ - Retro Games

Wii, but PSP is pretty good for handheld.

>>5489335
Why not PC at that point though? Everyone said it was underpowered even when it was new

n3ds

>>5489329
Psp go is the ultimate choice

>>5489329
>expensive

Lol I use a PSP because I'm lazy and don't care as much but it runs SNES and GBA pretty shitty. It's hardly the best.

>>5489376
SNES works fine u just need the optimal emulator. Never had any problems with gba either

>>5489373
shitty slide mechanism, as expensive as a vita, proprietary cards (but the onboard may be enough for you)
>>5489376
depends on the games. it could play mario 64 and OOT but most of them aren't great. Which GBA game? I played golden sun, wasn't terrible.

>>5489329
Vita because better screen

>>5489384
Which snes emulator do you use?

>>5489329
Dingoo A320 or it's spiritual successor, the RS97.
>cheap
>easy to mod
>Linux
>small

>>5489493
also:
>superior dpad
>very active scene
>better performance (except PS1 and N64 but no one cares about those)

>>5489329
if you meant portable emulation, i can't, unless n3ds homebrew has caught up since i last checked. the psp's biggest advantage in my opinion is how well it runs psx games.

>>5489329
you left out GPD XD

>>5489346
The advantage of the Wii is that it has native 240p video out which kicks ass if you use a CRT.

Switch

>>5489329
>Name a better emulation system
A PC.

>>5489384
>SNES works fine u just need the optimal emulator.
Maybe you are just not very picky in emulation.

>>5489591
rekt

>>5489552
I agree. PS1 in your pocket is amazing. Plus cwcheat was way better than gameshark.
>>5489560
Might as well get an old phone with a gamepad. It runs android, and is cheaper but still not cheap. How much is it better than the PSP for like 3x the price?
>>5489517
What do you do with linux on it? The successor looks actually pretty cool, not sure about it, but it doesn't seems to be a meaningful upgrade from the PSP, wouldn't be bad as a device instead of getting the PSP.

Reasons I like the PSP
>slim was $169 at launch and hackable, if you were unlucky enough to get a phat you could put iRshell to control your TV
>you could get a 2GB micro SD and adapter for $30ish then, now is 32GB for $5
>flawless access to all gb, gbc, gba, nes, PS1, and PSP games, with glitchy support for N64 and SNES
>I read books on there and also used it as an MP3 player, downclocking for maximum battery life, some people converted porn or videos, I didn't care for it with my shitty 2GB stick
>so much free software was written daily and it was exciting to go to QJ to get the newest ones
>now you can get them for $20-$50
It was paradigm changing and better than a smartphone would be at the time, and much later and could play games really well. Still waiting for the day that something will be better than it.

>>5489517
>>very active scene
Not really anymore, sadly, Android handhelds have taken over

>>5489602
There is a shitton of emulators and homebrew for Dingux (The Linux variant that runs on these chinese MIPS CPUs). Check out Retro Core's review: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnh3FLoKzR4
>>5489690
It's been 10 years, ofcourse things have slowed down. The scene around the RS97 is still pretty active however.
For anyone wanting to get an RS97, don't get the Plus version (it has screen problems, which is a shame as the other changes are very nice).

There are more and more handhelds with these cheap Ingenics MIPS CPUs supporting Diingux coming out, pic related, the LDK (60$):
https://boards.dingoonity.org/ingenic-jz4760-devices/

My Dingoo broke a few years ago, looking to buy an RS97 soon (form factor appeals to me more than the LDK). Got to mod it with a bigger battery however.

>>5489698
>There is a shitton of emulators and homebrew for Dingux
I know, I have one, I just mean the scene is dead now.

I've been using my psp for about 4-5 years. Lovely little console, I only regret not buying one sooner.

Now I'm ready to retire it. Going to use my Vita as a main as soon as the 3.69/7 exploit is out.

In the meantime I'm playing Ratchet and clank on the Vita and loving it ( I know, not retro).

>>5489602
Reasons I liked the Dingoo so much:
>65$
>4gb internal storage, easily expandable with microSD in miniSD adapter
>decent ootb performance for GBA, CPS1 and 2, NeoGeo
>amazing performance when modded with Linux (e.g. way better SNES performance than the PSP ever had)
>tons of homebrew (still looking for a replacement for this amazing game soundtrack player called oldplay that actually emulated the soundchips)
>underdog beat the expensive mainstream device (fuck the GPH Wiz kek)

It's still amazing to me how this shitty 336 MHz CPU beat the way more expensive ARM CPUs of much more expensive devices.

Dingux also runs on pic related btw, the RS07.

>>5489703
PSP scene is dead aswell. Pretty much everything one could ever want has been ported.

>>5489723
I really miss GPH devices. They really went all-out on the Caanoo and let people profit off their homebrew games. Was a nice idea but never took off, I would've used it if the Dingoo wasn't so much cheaper.

There's no real variety any more, it's all just Android stuff now.

>>5489735
>it's all just Android stuff now
Well there are many Ingenics devices now:
https://boards.dingoonity.org/ingenic-jz4760-devices/ingenic-devices-guide/
I have an Android handheld (GPD Q9) and it's rubbish. The GPD XD is said to be nice but way overpriced. I just want to play my retro games in a small formfactor, the RS97 is perfect for that, except the tiny battery which is easily modded.

>Name a better emulation system

the newest Nvidia Shield or something. Or one of those rather decent chinese game tablets.

if it doesn't have to be portable, just emulate all your shit on PC and if a game still runs like shit, get the actual system or its successor and hack, chip and mod it.

>>5489741
>The GPD XD is said to be nice but way overpriced.
That's pretty much how I feel about it. However the new Ingenics devices like the RS97 don't have any real community behind them and encourage ports of old emulators, unlike back in the GP2X/Dingoo days where so many people were writing games for them. The Caanoo and maybe the GCW Zero were the last ones to really encourage this and gain some traction but their communities have both moved on.

>>5489746
It all went to shit when gp32x.com went down. OpenPandora was a mistake, still want one however.

>>5489743
>console to connect to TV
>expensive
>emulators listed are mostly the same as the PSP ones
So it's worse in every way?

>>5489753

You’re an honest to god moron if you believe this.

Your post was retarded and you are retarded

>>5489329
It had trouble running a lot of games. I remember the mindflayer boss in sword of mana was a total crapshoot for whether it would hardlock the psp.

And Golden Sun ran like absolute crap on it. As did other games

>>5489790
Golden sun was fine for me, did you use hacks and 333?

If you want to shill on sony that hard you are way better with an xperia play

New 2DS XL

>>5490018
>New 2DS XL
Yes but it's still flawed. That low res dual screen is just off putting, even when playing games at pixel perfect mode. Still waiting for a true replacement to the PSP.

>>5489602
In what fucking world can you get a psp for $20-50

>>5490172
One with flea markets

>>5489329
Why would anyone want to enlighten an underage poorfag nu-/v/ emuconsole warrior?

>>5489329
I still have my psp 3000 i bought in 2013 specifically for handheld emulation. battery cant hold a charge for shit and its really only good for nes and ps1 emulation but damn is it a good choice for plane trips.

>>5490018
But you're paying money to Nintendo

>>5489376
Use mine erryday for emulation. SNES and GBA are mostly OK, forget SuperFX games on it tho. Playing Rent a Hero on it. Game is weird.

>>5489762
>PSP does that too.
PSP & the PSPGo are great for 240p emulation, no doubt. I think the Wii is a winner just because of its ability to use any number of controllers...but I would call them nearly identical at face value. The wii allows up to 2tb of hard drive, and possibly more, with plenty of emulation support still. Retroarch and a few other emulation stuff is still updated for what reason? I don't know. If you have a CRT and want an easy way to emulate with 15-30 minutes of setup, the wii is the way to go.

>old used laptop
>2 xbox controllers
Slightly more expensive but so much easier than dealing with old ass versions of retroarch or Wii homebrew

>>5489391
for me, un squadron for snes, ghouls and ghosts for another, but it's been years since I touched my psp

Vita is better than PSP because of the screen. Emulation of consoles in the 8 bit and 16 bit era scale oddly on the PSP, so you either have to deal with a blurry image, or integer scaling not taking up the entire screen.

>>5489329
>PSP Vita
>>no scene, all the polished stuff is on the PSP emulator
but vita wins just by doing nearly everything the PSP can plus its own stuff, AND being able to go into standby mode vs hibernation.

>>5489391
It was cheaper back then. Scalpers have ruined it in recent years. I bought my PSP Go in 2010 for $100 used, the component video cables and charging cradle I got for $20 each. It's perfect for playing PS1 and PSP games over component on my CRT.

>>5490172
I literally typed psp into kijiji and saw one for $60 CAD.

>>5489329
desu your phone, or android TV box with controller is by far best option
>can emulate upto wii or psp, heavily depends what phone/tv box you have
>good screen
>durable
>fair battery life (depends on device and what you are emulating)
>can use pretty much any controller via bluetooth or USB
>many choices what emulators you use
>no compromises or limits on what emulators you can use
>no or very little emulation problems
Theres also GPD XD if you want something dedicated and build-in physical controller, but I dont have one myself. As for tv boxes, you can grab t95q for ~50$ and it emulates upto psp at 1080p, or spend more money for nvidia shield TV and you can emulate upto wii.

For example, psp's emulation has tons of issues, like your generic, common games like mario world plays fine, but then try emulating something like super turrican, which was launch title and doesn't use any special chip, yet runs at 20fps/very slowly. N64 emulation is same way, mario 64 runs OK, so does OOT but barely with many issues like missing or buggy effects/graphics, and dont even attempt to emulate anything else because they wont even boot at all. Also good luck finding new, original, working battery for it, third party ones all sucks.

Sure, its more expensive, but if you want quality or good emulation you have to spend little bit more, and most people has smartphone already anyway.

>>5490442
adrenaline on vita doesn't support as many psx-games as psp does, right? something with only having a basic versionf POPS, while psp has got updates for it

>>5490143
Motherfucker, the PSP’s screen can’t do integer scaling and 1:1 looks tiny on it. It’s not much higher in resolution. But if you get an XL with an IPS screen you’ll have a much more pleasant viewing experience, as well as a much better library of games.
>Still waiting for a true replacement to the PSP.
It’s already here in the Vita.

>>5490970
Whatever games don’t run in Adrenaline run in PCSX reARMed just fine. Except for Silent Bomber. But that doesn’t run well on PSP either.

>>5491013
alright, neat.
what about compatibility with psp games? any known issues?

https://youtu.be/oTpleBjELZg

>>5489329
vita
what you greentexted about it is false an prove how clueless you are.

>>5490320
Some games are playable on it, I went through all of Metal Warriors for example and had a good time. But if its a game I'm familiar with, even a turn based obe like Shiren, the bits of slowdown just makes it all feel weird. It runs Genesis pretty good though and that's most of what I ended up using it for so don't care a ton but much as I like my psp I'd hardly call it the best portable emulator.

Hacked Nintendo Switch already blows PSP out of the water and is only going to keep getting better

>>5491143
vita:
>heavier, way worse battery life, non removable battery, most homebrew is just the psp emulator it runs
yeah it sounds great if you're a retard
>>5490531
I actually have a 2DS I borrowed, the battery life is significantly worse than my PSP with similar graphics capabilities and it's modded but I didn't like it because the grip isn't very comfortable at least for me. I honestly just used it to play devil survivor.

Call me a boomer but the DS and the PSP hit the stride of:
great battery life
easy to mod/hack
great library of games
no iOS or Android to siphon away developers from homebrew

The last generation we have better graphics at the expense of battery life. This generation the switch is so far the closest to what the PSP embodied: active homebrew, easy to hack, good 1st party games but like all the newer consoles the switch is much heavier, larger and even worse battery life than the last generation although I'd forgive it since it's more of a portable version of a home console.

>>5491171
Battery life on vita is god tier. Just did a 5 hour flight with mine playing FF7 the entire ride and it still has 30% battery. Has a better screen (OLED), can play vita games and PSP emulation is perfected. Only downside is it is heavier, but what are, some kind of weakling anon?

>>5491182
PSP slim with stock 1200mAh and no UMD usage is easily 10-12hr. With the 2400mAh I was able to get 18ish. If god tier is 5hr it's a very low bar.
I care about improvements, more weight on a handheld is not an improvement, less battery life is also not an improvement. I could play FF7 on the PSP too, my point is that there has been very little improvement, if you own a PSP, there is pretty much no reason to get a vita or any handheld due to them being worse in some significant way.

So far in this thread the RS97 is somewhat comparable if you don't already own the PSP but the battery life is significantly worse and the switch will be similar in a few years maybe.

>usually shitty battery life

As opposed to the PSP's excellent battery life

>>5491171
you're the retard tho battery life isn't worth and most interesting homebrews are vita based

>>5491219
>>5491208
>>5491182
my vita 1k lasts a lot longer than any psp I've ever had my hands on (trust me, there were lots)
2k is supposed to have even better battery life

>>5489329
>no scene
There's even a DS emulator in the works for the Vita, what are you talking about?
>all the polished stuff is on the PSP emulator
Which is bad because?
I guess you also hate having two proper sticks instead of a nub and physical L2/R2 buttons, coupled with better emulation.
Even a low range phone is better than the PSP at this point, saying otherwise is persevering in the usual OLD GOOD NEW BAD delusion

>>5491265
>specs are all that matter
Name any low end phone that had good physical controls for gaming.

>>5491271
You can connect tons of blue tooth controllers of all shapes and tastes nowadays, please, stop pretending the PSP has any advantage over other platforms in 2019, it's beyond embarassing even for somebody who loved the thing.

>>5491265
vita scene is kinda of an embarrassment. everything is just ported from of improved versions of psp software.
native gba emulation on the vita is /still/ not as good as the psp emulator.
call me when daedalus becomes functional, which should've happened ages ago

>>5491282
>native gba emulation on the vita is /still/ not as good as the psp emulator.
fucking wrong, not a single gba games works better on a psp than vita with frameskip turned off.
if for you jumping randomely from 30 to 45 fps is enjoyable you should kys.

>>5491294
last I checked mgba was still not as good as gpsp kai, which is fucking absurd.
even so, it doesn't change the fact emulators on the vita are a disappointment to say the least.
we should have native fullspeed emulation at this point.

>>5491282
>everything is just ported from of improved versions of psp software.
Which are just ported versions of PC software.
How dumb are you to even think this is an argument?

>>5491298
>mgba
vba core on retroarch is better than tempgba on psp, none can run games at full speed tho but with frameskip turned off vba core runs faster.

>>5491303
they're not being ported to the vita though. so the extra power is not being used.

>>5491305
>none can run games at full speed tho
And you think that's OK?
PSP did a hell of a lot more with a lot less

>>5491307
>a lot more
i'm telling you performances are worse than on a vita retard.
if for you jumping from 30 to 45 fps with auto frameskip makes good emulation experience then stick with your outdated stuff.

>>5491312
hardly justifiable considering the vita is more than capable of achieving fullspeed.
until then, if ever, there are better options out there. vita is a joke in its current state.

>>5491317
if vita is a joke then psp is a bigger joke since it's worse at pretty much every points.

>>5491320
except developers squeezed every last bit of performance out of the psp
it's not my fault the vita scene sucks

>>5491331
>i don't rate the better device because the scene could be better
kys

>>5491334
the original post was saying that the vita scene sucks, which is a fact.
and even so, there are better devices than the vita with better emulation performance, so it fails in all fronts.

>>5491341
no, the original post said there is no point in a vita which is wrong. the scene was only a tiny part of the relevance of the device since the most important thing is how good the games are running and it's better on a vita than on a psp, but since you're a contradictarian retard i can't help it.

>>5491350
>>5491282
>vita scene is kinda of an embarrassment.
and in case you're talking about op, it still a fact that there's no point in a vita because there are better devices out there.

>>5491358
in case of op he was saying there is no point on a vita if you have a psp which is wrong, but keep being in contradiction because it suits your edgy way of having fun retard.

>>5491362
hey, you said it yourself
>the most important thing is how good the games are running
so even though the vita is better than the psp, which is still arguable because lots of emulators are running in psp mode, the vita is a piece of shit because there are better devices out there.

>>5491370
i was comparing both sony handheld devices, keep moving goalposts retard.

>>5491370
>which is still arguable because lots of emulators are running in psp mode
not a single emulator works better on psp mode, once again you proved how clueless you were in the subject, kys.

did someone say pee ess pee?

>>5491375
and I was talking about the vita scene
>>5491382
I never said they ran better, just that lots of emulators /still/ run in psp mode, which goes to show how shitty the vita and its scene are

>>5491403
hoo lee

>>5491407
so your argument is, don't buy a vita because the scene could be better? you're such a retard, and there is no reasons to run emultors in psp mode, not a single one, all emulated devices runs better on vita side.

>>5491427
>don't buy a platform with no support

>you're a fucking retard, I bought a vita and I'm justifying my shitty purchase

>>5491475
psp has no support anymore retard

>>5491475
RetroArch is still supported and that’s all you need really.

>>5491479
>there's no support for a 15 year old $40 console that 10 years ago already had emulation for NES GB GBC GBA SNES PS1 PSP and N64 which has already exhausted its computation power vs a $80 console that barely plays better and whose whole emulation scene is a clone of the PSP
What do you want on the PSP? Seriously, what more do you expect from a 15 year old console?

>>5491497
you're the one who brought the no support argument to justify that vita is worthless compared to a psp for fuck sake while vita still has no support but psp don't, what are you trying to achieve with your contradictions?

>>5491279
Did you read the OP retard? Cause it's right up there.

>>5491504
That was the other anon. Lemme give you something:

$1 for a 1 liter container that can hold .9 liters
$2 for a 2 liter container that can hold 1.4 liters

The PSP is exhausted by its hardware while the vita is still mostly untapped. And it'll never be fully tapped because android and ios development had siphoned the scene away. Switch was hacked early and there's lots of development, the 3DS suffered from the same fate. You bought a device that can't fulfill its full potential while the PSP is finished. There is no support because it's all done. Even the final firmware has been hacked. What do you expect from a 15 year old console anyway?

>>5491515
>What do you expect from a 15 year old console anyway?
i don't expect anything this is why i don't get why praising an outdated system like psp that was fucking dope for its time but absolutely worthless in 2019 when you can buy a vita for not that really much.

>>5491427
/your/ argument was that emulators ran better on the vita and "that's all that matters", remember?
well, there are devices with vastly superior performance when it comes to emulation. and if that's all that matters, then the vita is shit.

but that's all on you, my point was that the vita scene is equally as shit, which still stands.

>>5491521
not the same anon but
>$1 for a 1 liter container that can hold .9 liters
>$2 for a 2 liter container that can hold 1.4 liters
do the fucking math

if you're looking for the absolute best, then the Vita is not the way to go either, so the PSP should also be a fine choice

>>5489493
how to install linux

>>5491538
your analogy is shit, the purpose is to have games to run at decent speed, we don't buy devices because it does great things with such weak cpu when the alternative is already better in every ways.

>>5491546
>the purpose is to have games to run at decent speed,
>we don't buy devices because it does great things with such weak cpu when the alternative is already better in every ways.
then there are better alternatives you humongous faggot

>>5491521
Why get a vita at all then? An old android phone or your current one if you use android with BT controller can play way more and doesn't even cost more. The PSP solely competes on price while at the vita price point it's vastly inferior to other options, unless you can find me a phone+BT controller that costs the same as a PSP.

>>5491554
of course there are huge fucking retard, and i will repeat what i sad earlier since you seem illiterate but i'm comparing sony devises, if you have higher expectations in emulation it's pretty obvious you would go for a better cpu based device
>>5491557
because it's better than a psp and the price difference isn't really huge, 40 bucks for a psp and around 100 for a vita. phones have input lag, terrible battery life and no button, and don't tell me you can plug a controller to it because it kills the very reason to have an HANDHELD device for your emulation purpose, just buy a fucking laptop.

>>5491564
>250% price difference isn't that much more for not even 2x the performance
Not only that but the classic games that you'd wanna play all play fine on the PSP anyway.

>>5491564
>the price difference isn't really huge, 40 bucks for a psp and around 100 for a vita
yeah, more than double ain't a big deal for marginally better emulation on a device with fuckall for a scene that will never reach its full potential

>of course there are huge fucking retard
then why are you advocating for an inferior one? if both are shit, then the vita being slightly less shit is just a footnote.
if the psp is a bad choice in comparison to the vita then the vita is terrible choice compared to more capable devices.

you sound really autistic and stopped making sense a handful posts ago.

>>5491585
60 extra bucks isn't that much for what you got compared to a vita, if your purpose it's only to play psp or ps1 games you wouldn't even need to ask what device you n,eed since there is no real alternative since 15 years
>>5491592
it's worth the price to have almost all snes library at full speed.

>>5491592
>vita is terrible choice compared to more capable devices.
i never compared vita to anything but psp, if you ask me for snes and gba only got for a n3ds.
if you unironically believe it's a wiser choice to purchase a psp over a vita you're either clueless af or just baiting at this point

>>5489329
>PSP Vita
>>no scene, all the polished stuff is on the PSP emulator

Do your homework before spouting bullshit.

>>5491648
there is no scene

>>5489329
The Vita scene is decent, or it was when I still cared a couple years back. The thing is that development for PSP is not really going to be happening, only on the Vita. Retroarch on it is always improving, along with stuff like mgba. The vita is wide open for homebrew and "playing backups" and thats where the scene is going to be, that along with its better specs.
Honestly the 3DS has a great scene these days but mostly just if your into Nintendo stuff but their are plenty of decent emulators on it despite its specs.
The "rPi3 is good, you can emulate old games on it" meme is shat one because it is essentially a shit specd PC,the idea is that its cheap lowpower/space solution to do something like leave it with TV for a comfy setup (also run simple network stuff)
A PC/Laptop (pretty much the same thing now specs wise, unless your emulating something less retro) gives you enough overhead for filters and shit, and will allow you to use lots of peripherals/display connections

>handheld
>big
>screen scratches to shit or cracks (3ds) in pockets
the GBA SP is the only thing I bother keeping in my pocket, using an Ez Flash Omega it can run GBA, GB/C, NES really well. I think there are other things it can emulate but honestly thats a great lineup for a small convenient handheld.

>>5491825
You could just buy a screen protector for it, but you do make an interesting proposal. The PSP does need a case or screen protector, and I did like the SP, I just don't think its so good because it can only play games with no other abilities and needs a headphone adapter (although its not really required). The PSP was cool because it was like getting a PS2 in your pocket but the SP wasn't like getting a GC or even an N64 in your pocked barely an SNES. Can any of those emulated games support save states? The DS lite is larger but I liked it a lot more than the SP. I actually have an SP and I think it even holds a charge. Did you replace the battery? For portability the SP might be actually much better. Did you seek it out or did you just have it from your childhood? What do you think about the clones?

>>5489329
>>PSP Vita
>no scene, all the polished stuff is on the PSP emulator
get in loop, you know nothing

henkaku

>>5491825
psp fits in my pockets just fine, are you wearing skinny jeans with micro pockets? A screen protector solves the scratch problem. My original launch psp has no scratches on its screen, but again I use a screen protector.

GBA SP is awesome too though. The GBA library alone is pretty solid.

>>5491924
Clones for the SP arent good, stuff like the k101 or GB Boy Color are worth noting though.
I do still have mine from childhood, battery is fine but I didnt grab it when I moved out.
Got one cheap off eBay and a replacement shell for it (new screen cover, buttons and shell for like 8$. The Ez Flash Omega is a pretty good flashcart but they're could be better, most carts use Goomba for emulating GB/C games which has pretty good compatability but doesnt work on Pokemon Crystal (a GB/C flash cart will work though). I chose the Omega over an everdrive as the Omega fits in perfectly with the GBA and doesnt stick out (essential for carrying around and a compact case). In GB/C and nes games I can save state and load state but Im not sure if these are stored or session-based.
In a world of fully backlit screens its easy to forget how bad the old handheld screens where though but there is a model with a great screen but the original SP is good in the sun or at night.

The rumored cut-down Switch.

>>5491924
>>5491960
Just opened my GBC game from earlier, savestate still there. (RB+Select to save, RB+Start to load), theres plenty of pallets and super GB stuff to use too . As I said I think it might emulate other systems but I'm not sure, as for save states and stuff on GBA games; I cant say much as I just directly play them and cant get a menu up ingame.
A thing I forgot about the flashcart was that you need to wait 5 seconds after saving ingame for it to copy the save to your SD card, its understandable but I initially didn't know and lost a save earlier.
>>5491959
For screen protectors, sure but on the vita especially I also hated how the sticks would kinda stick out. And I had a shell case which could protect it but that thing was even bigger. Honestly though if your specifically traveling or something the Vita (or PSP, but the modded vita does the same and more) is a solid choice. but the SP is the best as a comfy pocket device, bring it with me for commute

I've always wondered, why the Wii and not the PS3? (Well, besides the fact that Wii outputs 240p and is easier to hack)

>>5491980
I just want a Switch that’s Vita-sized. Skyrim + pretty much every retro console under the sun would be amazing.
If the Win 2 wasn’t so goddamn expensive and made by Chinks it’d be a great alternative.

>>5489329
A dedicated PC you fucking neanderthal.

>>5489574
Pretty much this. I used my hacked Switch with an SNES classic controller on a plane trip and it was comfy. The emulators on the Switch are great.

>>5492335
why that controller? i hated it

>>5493281
Maybe because the D-pad actually works, unlike some other controllers

If you want a portable emulator why wouldn't you buy one that's also a real computer?

>>5489329
>no scene on the vita
False. Also you not only get better emulators and dual analog for PS1, you also get a bunch of ok to excellent quality PS2 ports like MGS 2 and 3.
It's because of faggots like you that PSPs are still selling for $70 american cuck bucks on ebay when they're worth half that.
>>5489698
that actually doesn't look that bad, since it's so small and the screen is the correct resolution for ported dingux shit. CPU seems to be faster than the rs97 too. I would have picked it up no question if it was $30-40 like the bitboy is.
Are the buttons and battery life any good?

>>5490970

>>5491208
>PSP slim with stock 1200mAh and no UMD usage is easily 10-12hr
While I agree that the vita has pretty shit battery life, that's complete bullshit.
Extended battery life is a non-issue anyway since big powerbanks are now cheap as fuck and the vita takes 5V with no problem.

Also not bad but the tiny buttons are crampy
>the new bittboy
So close to being good and cheap but the screen tearing issues, control ghosting, and inconsistent saving really holds it back. This is with CFW too. Also no shoulder buttons which is suffering.

I have a new shoutout to the novelty which is the TinyPi Pro. I got one to put a pi zero board to use, expecting it to be a fun joke to share with people, but its actually really really well built for something 3D printed. Took like 15 minutes to put together. No soldering.
It has really responsive micro switched buttons, beautiful little square screen. 240x240 so not so good for Megadrive, SNES or GBA, but great for gameboy, PC engine, atari lynx, gamegear and other more box-like or low res screen resolutions. Its also really high res for its tiny size and plenty bright so text really does come out super clear. I was even playing SF2 on it just fine.
Battery is only 400mah so it only gets like an hour and a half of battery life but because its only 400mah it also charges really quick via USB too. So its perfectly usable. I was playing Dodonpachi on it for Christ sake.
I hear Pi0cket is working on a gba-style one too.

Thoughts on this? Is it worth it? I really like the look they gave it.

Has anyone tried a telescoping gamepad like this? I already have that 8bitdo phone thing but it's unwieldy.

>>5497143
Is that a PSP Street? If so don't bother with it. Get a PSP3000/2000/Go instead. I heard the Street has really poor build quality, no WiFi (no big deal) and mono speaker.

How is the PSP good at all? I 'hacked' mine for the first time a few weeks ago, launched SMW in Snes9x and it ran like dog shit.

I like the analog actual stick and the fact the Vita has 2 of them.

But I really like the larger buttons with some space between them and the "edged" shoulder buttons on the PSP.

I sold my PSP when I moved out of my parents house back in 2010 because I hadn't figured out life yet or how to budget and didnt want to crack into my savings.

I recently found two of my memory sticks and my pandora battery (not sure why I held these but chucked the system) and it brought back some memories but it looks like getting ahold of a PSP nowadays is tough. At least one id be comfortable handling.

Okay then, what's the best way to play GBA and SNES? Because I can't seem to find anything that runs without horrible lagging, or in the case of SNES, laughably bad audio.

I'm going to ask the worst question in this thread but which one do you think has more lag (for CRT purposes), PSP or Wii?

>>5491621
PSP has CRT output

>>5500195
Don't overreact. You're making it seem worse than it really is.

In RetroArch almost 96% of the SNES library runs perfectly fine at 59.9 fps and very few games go below that and those are special cases (like FX or SA1 games).

Same goes for GBA. 95% of the games run perfectly fine and the small percentage of games that don't are games you don't want to play anyway.

Still a hacked 3DS runs both of their full libraries perfectly if you don't mind keeping up with a build quality slightly lower than a Vita so in the end it's basically a matter of what console do you like holding the most for the longest period of time, a Vita or a New 3DS.

>>5490531
>Easy to install cfw
not as easy as the psp

>>5489329
The GPD Win is not only expensive, but it also has really shitty buttons and a really shitty d-pad.

PC + controller.

>>5489574
Eh, the hardware is admittedly great but i'd still wait for a better, more portable model and when modding it becomes safer.
For now the PSP is still a good choice thus far.

Its great if you have a ED/HD display, but it does have good 480i output when compared to the Gamecube or Wii. However for 240p, the Wii does just as well. The Xbox sounds like a plane taking off, and takes up 4.5x the space. The fan is unacceptable. If you still have an Xbox plugged in, you might as well replace it with a PC at this point.

>>5502348
>However for 240p, the Wii does just as well.
And I want to be specific to avoid the inevitable pilpul. I am totally aware that the Xbox does not have 15khz output. Your options are limited to 480i and above, whereas the Wii is 240p/480i/480p.

Would you recommend it for PSP 3000 Slim?

Hey guys. /asp/ie here wondering if I could get your personal opinion on something. I picked up a PSP 1000 at a yard sale yesterday for $5. The outside is scratched to shit, there is a piece missing from the yellow part of the DC in, and it's missing the power cord. However,it did come a 2GB Sony mem stick and Ace Combat X. I just have a few questions:
Is it worth it to remove the UMD drive? I plan to run everything off the memory stick. Does removing the UMD drive improve battery life or make it noticeably lighter?

Should I stay away from micro sd to pro duo adapter cards?

Is it true the 3600mAh aftermarket batteries are bullshit? Like they are, in reality, at most 900mAh and rarely keep a charge after a few uses?

Any tips or suggestions would be very appreciated.

>>5502572
I have a 2001 model, so I have no idea. Just download it and try it out.

>>5502580
No, leave it in, not worth messing with. Batteries are fake. You can make an internal battery mod in that area if you want, get a pro duo adapter. 32GB sticks are like $5-6 regularly. It won't take energy if you don't put anything in it.

>>5502580
replace that shell or at least remove the plastic cover in front of the LCD screen anon, the picture will look way better

>>5502580
Update! Found a cheap power cord at a Mom and Pop video game store. Plugged it in, and I got pissed as the charge LED wouldn't lite up. To my amazement it turned on, and took a charge. Installed custom firmware, and this thing plays backups with no problem what so ever. Working PSP 1000 for $5.
>>5503286
I'll replace the front face plate and and buttons. I'm not mechanically inclined, and the complete PSP break down videos are a little intimidating.

>>5502580
Have the same model. You can completely disable the UMD drive via plugin I think. I only ever bought an aftermarket battery from Newegg, and it was alright. The single width standard sized batteries are not and never were 3600 mAh, though. I'd avoid those with such a huge lie in the product description at any rate.

-however-

If you WERE to remove the UMD drive you could kludge in a small tablet lithium battery pack that would last over a day. The generic (tablet) battery packs run about 10 bucks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dc84JQuMOtw&gl=CA

Diff model, but same basic idea. There's a decent tut for the FAT PSP out there too. I might do it if and when I bother to fix the failing power switch on mine. ALSO, a word of caution: the bottom left (looking from the front) standoff for the screw likes to break off if overly tightened, which fucks the case being tight AND makes the thumbstick basically worthless, so be careful if you work on the insides more than a few times.

>>5489329
MOVE OVER OBJECTIVE FACT INCOMING
The psp go is the best if you don't count the Vita. The 1-3k psp's all have shit screens, and the UMD is a waste of space. The psp go is a perfect handheld.
But if you count the Vita it hands down wins. It's psp emulator is better than the psp itself thanks to dual analog plugins that allow for camera control in games, the best screen, buttons and dpad beat the psp. Also all vita games are available.
Also, don't fall for the GPD win. I don't know about the second one but I got the first one and it was hot shit, garbage. Did it's job fine but you figure out pretty quick it's a fucking awful idea to have a huge bulky thing with awful controls to play games on. Ran some pc games fine but I personally don't enjoy pc games.

>>5500289
Donkey Kong Country has frame drops like crazy. I haven't tried very many other games but that was very disappointing. My N3Ds can run it perfectly.

>>5503874
Last time I ran DKC on my Vita with RA it also ran perfectly.

SNES used to run like shit on y Vita but I deleted the config file from RA's folder and run it again so it could generate a new one and SNES started running at 59.9fps since then.

Also anyone who says Vita has no scene or native emulators either doesn't know what they are talking about or just hate Retroarch.

>>5504402
Is there a similar comprehensive guide to Vita then?

I'm almost over the edge of buying a Vita for my mobile emulation machine. My big hangup is that apparently CFW won't work with the latest official firmware. My old Vita died and this little problem makes me hesitant to buy a new one that might be unusable for this purpose.

>>5489329

I recently gave in and bought one of those gamepads for my cellphone, a shitty Redmi 5A, and installed Retroarch.

I expected 2 problems: (1) Input Lag and (2) Performance issues like OP said.

Surprisingly, I had no problems whatsoever.

The first thing I did was launching the 240p teste suite and fiddle with the manual input lag test. I got surprisingly good results. It doesn't mean input lag is non existent but the results I got were pretty similar to using a good quality gamepad on PC and I was able to play Mario Kart Super Circuit up to Star Cup at 150cc with no complaints (except that I still suck at this game after all these years). I also completed a no miss run on Thunder Force V.

About the performance, some cores were sluggish AF with my crappy cellphone. The ones I tested and worked fullspeed: (1) mGBA, (2) Snes9x, (3) PicoDrive, (4) PCSX ReARMed. The PCSX in particular worked much better than I thought. The games run fine without too much setup.

>>5504402
>retroarch
It sucks.
Like I said, the whole scene is pretty much all running on the PSP emulator. If you like the PSP just get a real PSP. It's embarrassing that the vita is barely tapped.
>>5504414
My PSP slim still works from 2007 if that helps. What do you want to play mobile? PSP plays the classics to the PS1, a small laptop might be a good choice too. For the premium devices the switch is really nice (plastic screen though, wtf)

>>5504424
I never mentioned input lag. I got performance issues with larger emulators. The stuff you emulated is trivial, they're PSP emulator tier so I'd hope they played well on your modern phone. What emulator does it start to choke on?

>>5504571
I know they're not demanding emulator/games but IMO it's leagues ahead than playing using my PSP 3000.

The PSP struggles with a lot of SNES and Mega Drive games even with v-sync disabled and/or downsampling audio frequency. Final Fantasy VI drops frames in towns, the same happens with the miniboss at the Ruin stage on Thunder Force IV, v.g. And these happen using the up to date versions of the emulators (Picodrive with SVP dynarec and snes9xTYL me)

Regarding the emulators which I tested and my cellphone is not powerful enough to run: (1) Reicast, (2) Beetle PSX HW, (3) Mupen64plus, (4) Beetle GBA.

In conclusion, I do agree that the PSP is a fantastic emulator machine but I didn't expect to obtain such good results with my chink botnet. It plays the games I want fullspeed, the battery on both the gamepad and the cellphone is pretty good (note: The reason I probably didn't have battery problems is the snapdragon 425: a low powered and not battery hungry SoC) and I did not experience any random problems or crashes.

>>5504560
>it sucks lel
Play Shantae on PSP. I dare you.

>>5504414
Not really but for here is a little guide from me.

Amiga: UAE4All2 Vita

Runs everything perfectly.

Retroarch: runs 8 bit consoles and handhelds, PC98 stuff, Genesis, CPS1-2, NeoGeo, Doom and some more stuff perfectly with accurate (as accurate as they can be) emulators. For snes use snes9x2005 core and forget about SuperFX games while VBA core on it for GBA is game specific. Some run great some lags like hell. For example Megaman Zero lags while Castlevania games runs great. People say overclock plugins like lolicon helps smooth out the performance. I personally use GBA emulators on PSP side.

Also FBA and MAME cores on Retroarch play some more games but I never really tried everything. Truxton 2 worked great I think.

How did it die? I have 2 fat and 1 slim Vita. Other than analog stick issue on my launch model I had no issues with them. Also there is an exploit coming soon that needs a PSP game to be installed, demo or not. It will be useful for 3.69/3.70 usersand with Modoru you will be able to downgrade to 3.60. I will hack my slim when that gets released.

>>5505440
I forgot to add but Half Life, Counter Strike, Quake 1 to 3, Prince of Persia, Redneck Rampage, Postal open source engines are all ported to the Vita with great to fucking awesome results.

>>5504617
You might want to fall back to Picodrive 1.51 on PSP since people were saying that the latest one has performance issues on games 1.51 run full speed. Sonic CD for example runs great on 1.51 but drops frames randomly on the latest one.

>>5489329

>>5505821

>>5505953

>>5506138

>>5505953
To output on a CRT, I guess. Thought the games would show up small, though.

>>5505995
A neat little time waster, as it's just a bunch of mini games that reenact the first episodes up to the Erase/Glow cards

>>5506162
Nah, PS1 games on PSP with TV out will display native 240p and fullscreen. Only PSP games show up small and if you have some kind of zoom in function in your tv you can use it to get full screen.

Buy from a Japanese seller. PSPs sold like hotcakes out there and they usually take good care of their secondhand gear.

>>5506580

>>5489329
>maybe, usually shitty battery life and random performance issues
just get one of those $30 lg tracfones and never activate the numbers. put it in airplane mode whenever you're not downloading shit. the low-end processor on-top of that should give you plenty of battery life and even snapdragon 210s (about the shittiest you can get) should handle up to ps1 just fine as long as you're not trying to up the resolution or anything, which hardly looks better on a 5-inch screen anyway

>>5506221
don't download snes9x ex+ go to broglia's website and download the non-plus version. has kinda shittier sound emulation but + has all kinds of input delay issues, on-top of unoptimal performance
don't bother with broglia's emulators at all for the gameboy consoles. just get the paid versions of those my boy emulators on aptoide. they're better optimized and have more features like tilt support if your phone has a gyroscope

>it is strongly recommended that you remove the xbox clock capacitor
Wait hold on. Is this thing the reason why my xbox started smoking many years ago?
What the fuck is this?

>>5506221
also a lot of the broglia emulators you have to pay for on google play can be found for free here http://www.explusalpha.com/home/general-info/development

>>5507043
You're missing the controller.

>>5507465
>needing a controller

>>5507478
Ok retard, let's play me vs you with no controller.

>>5507098
shit-tier capacitor used by ms leaking and physically destroying the boards after ~10 years, causing shorts n sheet.

I heard wii u is pretty good as it can do nearly every single system except playstation.

>GPD XD Plus
>More affordable than the Win

>>5507465
ok. get that $10 controller op talked about. problem solved

if leaving it in airplane mode is the problem, just get one of those micro-usb-to-usb convertor things and plug any modern controller you want in the charging port

Can the PSP Go be used for emulation/pirate adventures too? I think it looks nicer.

>>5509347
yeah it just lacks the umd drive, and uses (I think) M2 memory cards, so unlike other models you cant use micro sd cards via adapter.

>>5508572
>he doesn't know

>>5489329
The Nintendo Switch obviously.

>>5508660
The guy who fixed it had it leaking already. Doesn't it mean it doesn't break?

>>5509347
emulation/hacking shit for sure. also prolly fits in your pocket better although i think theyre more expensive and psp is comfy

>>5509947
what?

>watch jack ryan
>"is this what you wanted?"
>she hands her a GPD Win
What the hell. Are they heavily investing into advertisement right now or something?

>>5509347
Yeah some minor differences in storage type and cfw persistence, but its basically the same. One thing to keep in mind is PSP has had iffy batteries for awhile now, and the Go's is smaller on top of that.

>>5511956
As excited as I am for this, the pi zero can't do PSX or PSP games, and it even has trouble running SNES games without overclocking. I'd love it for for the 80's and early 90's stuff, but that's about it.

What's the best for someone looking to only play GBA? pokemon mostly. NDS would be nice too, but unnecessary.

>>5513016
A DS. The PSP ain't bad for that either.

>>5513154
I had some crashes with Golden Sun on PSP. Be careful with games with that engine.

Nigga gpd xd

Totally agree on the Vita. Screen alone (OLED) is so massively a win.
>GPD Win sucks, but I hate pc games.
WTF you buy a handheld PC and shit on it because you don't like PC games? True the Win1 is pretty underpowered, but Win2 looks damn nice. I'm holding out for the Win Max to be announced in the next quarter or so.

>>5516351
Clamshell is a dead form factor. Just sayin'.

is there any kind of emulation device that does following:
>outputs composite or better (no hdmi/digital)
>emulates ps1 well
Is there anything else than ps1 - 3? It sucks that even after all these years wii or wiiU still cant emulate ps1 properly.

>>5517184
literally PSP 2000-3000

>>5517432
Now that I think of, psp go would be perfect since it has bluetooth and supports DS3, and doesn't have psp x000 series shitty power jack that disconnects from even slightest touch.

>>5499783
which one?

>>5517474
psp go doesn't have CRT output thuogh

>>5517838
? It has both official composite and component cables

>>5489329
PC

>>5517845
See the lasting power of the PSP? It's still perfection that hasn't been bested.

>>5517845
sorry I goofed there

>>5518672
Well the tv out still sucks for anything but ps1 games as psp stamp-sizes the picture for everything else, so its far from ideal

>>5490514
I used my phone years ago with my old note 3.
3200mah battery in note plus a 2200mah spare battery in the Moga controller itself, to charge the phone as you play.

Bulkier than a PSP but it played everything I threw at it on that old phone.

>>5519149
Why the flying fuck would you do TV out when the screen it has built in is perfectly fine. If you're gonna do that, hook up a fucking wii.

>>5519164
read the first post faggot >>5517184
wii doesn't emulate ps1 that well, most games dont boot at all

>>5489329

> Haven't had a PSP in years
> Pick up a dirt cheap used one
> Left speaker is blown out

Has anyone replaced the speakers on a PSP 3k?

I need to get a replacement faceplate as well.

>>5519274
>replaced the speakers on a PSP 3k
yes
>unscrew face
>take out a couple of ribbon cables
I think only the lcd and bottom row of buttons is necessary
>unscrew speaker
not really screwed in, just locked in so you twist it out very easily

how many ps1 games need a proper controller? was thinking of just hooking my psp 3000 with component to my CRT but heard only the pspGO supports bluetooth controller.

>>5520010
you can remap controls per-game basis so its not really huge problem, I think ape escape is the only one that actually requires both analog sticks, some games are better with analog sticks like granturismo 2, megaman legends 2, spyro/crash 2&3.. etc but you can play them with just d-pad and buttons.

>>5520010
Why do you you just pirate and play them? The PSP can remap keys.

>>5493459
The Hi8 is one of my biggest regrets, do NOT buy a windows tablet with an atom processor or whatever current equivalent is being used nowadays

PSP homebrew was so magical, retroarch failed to reproduce a lot of that variety, what with the obsession with accuracy and all
