/vr/ - Retro Games

ordered mine, still hasn't come in yet. looks promising tho and worth the risk for the price based on what I've seen so far

>>6874189
What are the alternatives like?

>same fucking picture
>nearly identical post
Are the Chinese shilling here now?

>>6874283
Identical post to the one I made on /v/ yes. I literally said this >>524578678 before coming over here because nobody seemed to have anything to say.

They have a lot of quality control issues, seems like 1/10 have something really wrong with it.

right stick really sucks so dont expect to have a fun time using that

performance for dreamcast is more miss then hit. expect to spend a lot of time messing with settings for anything past 4th generation

with all that in mind they are still 10/10 on the cozy factor and good enough for most retro

My RP2 is absolutely brilliant. Can't fault it. Highly recommend.

OP here, this is exactly the kind of replying I was looking for. So basically it has problems, but I know what I'm in for if I pick one up.

>>6874749
>>6874638
Is mostly correct, but "anything past 4th generation" is misleading. PSX everything runs perfect without fiddling. GBA everything runs perfect without fiddling. N64 requires fiddling. Saturn doesn't run at all. NDS games either work or they don't and there's not much you can do. Same with PSP.

We first of all have the opinion that you should post in already existing threads.

>>6874283
Calm down. They work for like $5 a day. Let them shill their trash.

anyone have a chart on must play 3rd gen games? specifically nes and sms

>>6874840
Ok, now try searching searching for retroid in the catalog.

YT reviews sold me on getting one. Now waiting for the retro color one to arrive. At the price they're a steal, and no doubt our purchases help keep families fed.

I can't wait to play my collections on this boy. How badly did I fuck up frens

come on..

>>6877219
Shut up faggot. Someone already whinged about this.

>>6877295
>nooooo you can't whine about my horribly off topic shill threads!
get over it retard

>>6877295
If you're OP then you're the faggot. BTW you can delete your own threads at any time on /vr/!

>>6877219
Boo fucking hoo.
See
>>6875083

>>6877305
I don't think I will.

>>6877195
Honestly, you made a great decision. Depending on what you want to play, you'll find yourself using it a lot. I've been gaming more since getting mine.

>>6874156
I'll wait for the RP3 when the stick in a cpu powerful enough to do PSP properly. And maybe a nice 16:9 720p screen.

See ya in a couple of years

>>6878461
It was the first of these handhelds to catch my eye. Some configurating is a smol price to pay to run N64 games, but mainly, I'm thinking of all those PSX rps I never beat.

The skins, too. I intend to personalize the hell out of this thing.

>>6878829
>16:9

why not just get a psp for 5 dollars

>>6878829

superb review

>>6874638
Is that Kitkat? Why not just grab a controller and use it with your phone if it runs Android? I have one of those telescope-style controllers and it's pretty nice.

>>6880410
i don't want to drain my phone's battery when i'm out and also carry a controller to go along with it

not exactly rocket-science

>>6880426
>when i'm out
I guess that makes sense, I only use the controller for bedtime gaming so the thought didn't even occur to me.

>>6874283
>Everyone i talk to is a paid as

You need mental help dude

>>6880410
Because these setups are unwieldy and look ridiculous.

>>6880475
>implying you weren't paid to say he needs help

>>6880410
Not everyone has a phone that can run Wii at 4K 4autists. Nobody is about to pay 600+ for anew phone.

My opinion is wait until the next revision.
The 1 stick that pops out will catch on your pocket, the bezel is something that'll definitely be removed in the next version, and it comes with an already dated version of android.

Just wait, don't jump onto this zoomer train. By next year there'll be a device that fixes these issues and won't shit the bed emulating dreamcast and ps1, and has a screen that you can actually stream pc games to.

Your phone is probably more powerful with a better screen, just buy a bluetooth controller that attaches to it.

>>6882637
Oh and no touch screen, so you control android with a mouse pointer controlled by stick. Barely an actual issue but it's still something to change in the future, plus a reason to use your phone.

>>6880530
Unwieldy? Just how thin are your wrists m'am

>>6882637
PS1 emulation is perfect. Touch screen never going to be implemented as nobody in the community wants that. Also the screen is great currently.
Only thing likely to be changed next major update is sunken left analogue stick and more power, and that will likely come in 2022.

>>6883004
>carrying 3 pieces of equipment to play handheld games
Nope

>>6874156
>imagine paying for *any* overpriced clone console which just does emulation

>>6883380
What would you do instead?

>>6883395
What are you posting with right now?
PC => Play on that
Phone => GTFO, also emulate there

ffs

>>6883456
>PC
Not handheld
>Phone
Shit option for many reasons

>>6883456
I emulate on phone and PC, and just about anything else, including these Chinese things. I own the original hardware too because I'm not destitute.

Why can't the Europeans handle choices and freedom? Get an actual job then you won't have to choose ONLY ONE

>>6874156
Why post the exact same thread faggot?

you have a ton of images to choose from even if you went with the retroid 2.

powerkiddie has a ton of shit, not just that

I'll have to ask again. Can RR2 run Outrunners on MAME? (or any SS32 game for that matter)

>>6874156
Why not just buy a used psp?

>>6874156
>Does /vr/ have an opinion on these things?
Yes

>>6884454
Bevause the RP2 is superior in every single way

I heard God of War for PSP runs kinda sorta okay. How do they run Liberty City and Vice City Stories for PSP?

>>6883769
But it's not the same image.

>>6883769
if you're going to keep posting this shit picture can you at least make it seem like someone who isn't a schizo made it?

>>6884520
Cant find a good comparison online. Can RP2 emulate PSP well? Can it do N64 accurately? How is it better than PSP? Not arguing, just curious genuinely

>>6884832
I don't mean to be a dick, but if you literally go on youtube you can find what you're looking for which will be much better than written posts.

>>6880475
>shilling for the mental help industry

>>6874638
Did ya get those nice retroid pocket wallpapers somewhere or do they come bundled in?

>>6884837
Yeah maybe videos where some Nger or a pajeet tests it, but no direct comparisons, then again maybe I can do that myself, thanks anyways

>>6884853
>look up psp n64 emulation tests
>look up rp2 n64 emulation tests
>compare
Wow how hard was that.

>>6884869
that's not the only thing I would like to run, but I said I'll compare myself

>>6884879
Then look up another fucking emulation video test video Jesus christ are you retarded or something? How can something so simple trouble you this much

>>6874156
Man I'm interested but it worries me due covid-19 it takes forever to arrive or customs fuck me over. They still got figmas I ordered retained.

>>6884832
Here is your comparison:

>CPU
PSP maxes out at 330MHz whereas RP2 is 1.5GHz
>Battery
PSP is 1800mAh providing roughly 5 hours of gameplay. RP2 is 4000mAh providing roughly 7 hours of gameplay.
>Aspect Ratio
RP2 is 4:3 so everything retro looks really nice. PSP is a completely unique and retarded 30:17 so the only thing that looks good is PSP games
>Console Emulation
PSP can do most PS1, all megadrive, and a decent amount of SNES. RP2 can do all PS1, a small amount of dreamcast, and almost all N64.
>Handheld Emulation
PSP can do some GBA. RP2 can do the majority of NDS, and some PSP.

>>6884848
He got them from the retroid community on reddit

>>6884904
Pretty much my line of reasoning. It's going to take upwards of 5-6 weeks to ship with another week to process. In that time something new may be on the horizons.

Which is too bad because the product looks good but fuck waiting 7 weeks for an item.

>>6884904
Mine took 8 days to arrive in the UK from China. Got through customs in 24 minutes according to tracking.

>>6884906
Don’t respond to PSP posters. They aren’t worth the effort. That said in terms of the absolute best emulation device the Switch takes the prize.

>>6884948
>>6884959
To give a bit of context, I ordered Body-kun and -chan figmas, they got from China to Mexico in 3 days but been retained in customs for 33 days now. Apparently they haven't even opened the container since they don't show in the Mexpost tracker yet. The delivery did say "between Sept 9 and October 5," when I ordered them off Amazon, but I was hopeful. I don't know if I wanna go through this shit again.

>>6874156
>clone consoles
You guys are grown ass men. Stop trying to pretend you're a 10 year old kid playing gameboy behind the swingset during recess. Just use your fucking phone.

>>6874156
Does it so Sega CD?

>>6874156
Someone said you can download games straight from the device. Is that true?

>>6885024
Yes, sort of. You need to use Retroid OS for that which is shit, so you're better off just using another front end and downloading through a usb connection with your computer.

>>6885029
Ah, I see, thanks. I was hoping it works have something similar to freeshop or the Vita.

>>6885036
Nope, looks like YouTube lied to you again zoomie

>>6885036
It does, but only if you use Retroid OS

>>6885038
Okay, retard.

>>6885048
>retard

>>6885050
I don't know why you're being such a faggot.

>>6884884
I said I'll look it up you fucking retard, I didnt say it troubles me. Three fucking times I said I'll do what you said, you fucking mong

>>6885209
Do it

>>6883126
So when you take your handheld, do you just leave your phone home? Because the clip is basically part of the controller and that's one one extra thing to carry
One extra thing that allows you to do more than a Chinese handheld...
You have no argument

>>6885470
When I play with my RP2, I leave my phone in my pocket. I don't get out 3 devices to daisy-chain together and play like some weird frankenstein's monster.
Also, the RP2 does more than your suggested setup can:
>Doesn't get phone notifications blocking the screen
>Maintains battery while using phone
>Doesn't look utterly retarded

>>6885593
You're so thick headed. A controller with a clip is not daisy chaining three devices.
Why the fuck do you have notifications on in the first place?
Battery is a non issue stfu
And if you think handheld gaming if any kind regardless of method, doesn't look silly I've got news for you.

>>6885614
>controller
>clip
>phone
>not 3 devices
Also when people point out the input lag of doing something like that the response is always to bring in a USB cable between the controller and the phone, at which point it goes from looking retarded to being the sort of thing people secretly take photos of to put online with the caption "white people"

>>6885614
>And if you think handheld gaming if any kind regardless of method, doesn't look silly I've got news for you.
What are you talking about? People have played in public with GBCs, GBAs, 2DS, 3DS, PSPs, PSVs... nobody thinks they're strange any more. This isn't the 80s.

>>6885683
Hell, anon, I remember when Dr. House made GBA and NDS cool and even trendy when he played in the show.

>>6885674
Lag isn't a problem.
Lag hasn't been a problem for years but you schizos act like you can detect the 1/100000000 of a frame

>>6874156
Imoo a sn30 or similar controller is better with a high end phone. My note 20 ultra can do gamecube and my sn30 pro plus works well

>>6885858
>input lag denial
That's a new one.

>>6885970
How do you mount the two? Can you post a photo of your setup?

Just got one, what the fuck is this shit? The retroid app frontend is a fucking joke, all the preinstalled roms are randomly dumped and not even organized.

Also wtf are these controls? Y should correspond to square on a PS controlller, or light punch in a fighting game, but it's giving me fucking medium kick and I can't figure out how the fuck to reset controls.

How do I salvage this mess? should I be installing my own frontend or just using the default android boot and using retroarch?

>>6885858
Get raped twice and kill yourself, you retarded fucking tranny faggot sack of nigger shit with down syndrome.

>>6885858
Bluetooth connnectivity necessarily has some input lag.

where are the preinstalled roms located on this thing? If only just to delete them on the mem card.

>>6887459
IIRC there's no preinstalled roms. the frontend simply allows you to download them directly.

>>6886784
Y is mapped to square on PSX by default. You yourself fucked it up. But yes Android OS plus Dig is better than Retroid OS.

>>6887537
There are
>>6887459
It's encrypted. You can delete them on the app using the password 55555555

>>6884725
I don't know. Take it up with my doctor.

But I'm not spamming threads. I'd put more effort into them if I were even allowed to make them (for years Hiro has 'no thread allowed' spammed my area).

>>6884639
Oh it's the same alright.

>>6883769
What does this mess even mean. Can someone explain?

>>6888136
It lists random notes on what it is about and also it's price.

>70 usd case
>20 usd system on a chip
>7 usd micro sd cart

>>it's hard to set up

>awful buttons due to no shoulder and only one analog
>lacking ram
>some don't have proper operating systems that disallow adding of roms easy with powkiddies such as to it's right the 150 usd ds tier one is known to fuck you over with it's firmware and malware but does have shoulder buttons hence the arrow usage

It's self explanatory. No?

Also the 700 usd win10 might have been an exaggeration, though win10 is bloated spyware.

>>6888171
It looks like the scribblings of a conspiracy theorist. It's impossible to tell what refers to what, what black boxes and some terms "mean" and there are arrows all over the place.
Looking at it I get the feeling of like "this clearly means something to someone"

I find this to be generally the best resource for learning about chinese emus. Until there is fabulous n64 on one of them personally I'll stick with the 2ds
https://obscurehandhelds.com/

>>6888181
Well it does mean something if you simply have the ability to deduce things.

You know, critical thinking skills and all.

>>6888189
Starting with the top left, we have "70 case 20 [in thick black border] soc 7 card etc pi zero retropie"
If you scan for another black border to find meaning you find (centre right) the line "top tier pis 35 or 35+"
... this is word salad.

Is there an android app that would let me browse and download roms straight to the device? I know I could use the browser but that's pretty annoying with the ads and javascript and shit.

>>6888204
>soc = system on a chip computer
>soc = raspberry pi (often enough)
>20 usd for zero
>other border = normal pis and more expensive pis, 35 and 45+

You'd know this if you did research. The black squares show that the pi is NOT included. It's implied.

>>6888390
did you make the image?

>>6888121
No. It cannot be the same image to be posted here at all. It's also obvious both were unmodified by the posters as well.

>>6888594
no
>>6888405
yes

>>6888610
>yes
I think it might be worth showing it to someone close to you, who you trust, and seeing what they think.

>>6888610
>tripshit complains without really adding anything to the conversation
I cannot say I'm surprised. You could have just hidden or reported the thread if you were this upset about people talking about it in more than one thread.

>>6874156
I've always assumed /vr/ hates emulation generally and emulation handhelds specifically.
I saw ETAPrime review one and it looked very promising.
I don't game enough or leave the house to ever need a handheld but still pretty impressive for <100 bucks desu

>>6874156
whats the advantage of these over a PSP or Vita? Those are so cheap these days, what the point in getting chink shit?

This shill thread still isn't dead?

vita > chink shit

>>6889763
>>6889924
Covered here:
>>6884906
RP2 is far better than PSP/V

>>6888627
I answered questions? Why are you bothered?

Ask me anything and I'll tell you.

>>6888638
>if I don't like x thing it's a troll
Are you new, retarded, or just from a social justice warrior fanclub of some kind?

>>6874156
Does Cainao show real tracking?

>>6884948
But the other good thing will also be from China with the same potential shipping delay issues.

>>6892196
There are no shipping delay issues.

I just kind of wish they dropped the Retroid OS and go full Android, I'd rather have control over what I add in the device that a bloated mess with same versions of one game, I know you can freely use the Android OS and forget about the Retroid one but I just wish they forgot about it altogether

I also hope Android 8.1 gives better compatibility on certain Android Apps because if yo can play more Android games on this plus emulation is a pretty decent device
