chinese garbage forcefully astroturfed on here, reddit and youtube

i gave up on these atm, the current generation (for example RG552) will be outperformed by a budget mid-end phone and will cost much cheaper

>>8525991
I have one of those (RG351V), and I like it a lot. It has its rough edges and its limitations for sure, but it has served me quite well.
I think I'll wait another generation or two before replacing it

>>8526005
Nice, where did you buy it?

>>8525991
I just got the RG351P yesterday and I’m really happy with it so far. Granted, it’s very possible that it’ll break quickly or something. But my first impression is that this thing is totally worth the price.
>>8525994
That’s probably true but I’m still satisfied with what I got. I’m able to play games that I would have no other way of playing otherwise. I wish a company in Japan, the US, or the EU would make a quality emulator so we don’t have to rely on these shady Chinese companies but that doesn’t seem likely to happen any time soon

>>8526009
>>8526014
I got my RG351P on aliexpress, just make sure you pick a store with good ratings. Not going to include a link for obvious reasons
Also a lot of people on YouTube are recommending the new Retroid Pocket 2+ which is also $100 but has better performance.

HEY GUYS HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE RG351
I HAVE AN RG351 AND I REALLY LIKE MY RG351
YOU SHOULD BUY AN RG351

>>8525991
Really enjoy my RG351MP. Bit overpriced for what it does but it's also perfect for what I need.

>4:3 screen
>Plays PS1 and everything before it full speed
>Great looking screen
>Horizontal form factor

This is all I need in a handheld, don't give a shit about n64/dc/saturn/gc/etc...

>>8526014
Is there some legal reason companies in other countries don’t make these handhelds? Provided they don’t include any ROMs with the product you’d think it would be fine.

>>8526005
>>8526019
i think the RG351V looks great but it doesn't do dreamcast right?
retroid pocket 2+ does it and does Saturn which is great but it looks worse so i'm hesitating. anyone has it and can tell me if saturn and dreamcast are well emulated?

>>8525991
I quite enjoy my Retroflag GPi Case, although it seems like the price of the Case really went up since it was discontinued when the Case 2 launched. Build quality is miles better than the Dingoos I had, I would dare say it's comparable to the original GBA. Emulation is slick as frozen snot, and ports like Doom, Duke and Descent are perfect. Best of all I get something around over 20 hours of SNES and 15+ of PS1 before I need to swap my AA batteries for freshly charged ones is really remarkable.

>>8525991
>Just make a official thread OP, and stop with the cringe worth/garbage posts every single week
>>8526001
retard
>>8526107
Nope and the form factor sucks, but thats up to you, on other hand, i believe you can run DC games on RP2+ but that device will be good if theres a Linux support in the future, poodroid and the well know input lag unfixable issue, its a huge no for gaming, even though the device its pretty cheap.

>>8526107
You can play dreamcast with some options I think

how is N64 on the RG351V?

>>8526176
>the form factor sucks
RP2's form factor is okay, the main downside to it is the analog stick being on top since some people really care about that placement.

>>8526643
Sorry but i was talking about the RG351V form factor, the RP2+ its way better and comfortable, the only downside for me its the poodroid OS, since they already upgraded the analog stick and buttons on the new revision for better ones.

>>8525991
this one.
1080p screen, support for complex shaders and any controller you may like. runs games up to wii and ps2 without issues

>>8526917
>huge bulky controller
no thanks, kills the point of "handheld"

>>8526917
It's the best option for performance, I guess. I ordered an 8bitdo SN30 Pro 2 clip for my phone since I really dislike most of those gamepads, and the decent ones with USB C are not that much cheaper than one of these handhelds.

>>8527030
about the same size as a max 2

>>8526917
>poodroid
>inescapable input delay

GOOD MORNING SIR!

>>8527105
Most of these retro handhelds run android

>>8527105
Android hasn't had bad latency since the move from Dalvik to ART around Android 7 or so.
Which is one of the reasons the RP2+ can run Android and still offer a good experience.

Upgrade your phone.

>>8527071
For real? I don't mind android but I hate the way this looks regardless, no way I'd take something like this out of my house.

>>8527129
The Kishi is an ugly controller, yeah. But you have other options like that gamesir one. Even more if you don't mind bluetooth, but that's just added input lag.

>>8527127
bullshit
>>8527120
wrong nigger, most are SOC ARMS

>>8527172
and what do these "SOC ARMS" run on?

>>8527172
>NO NO NO NO NO!

>>8526107
Everything I've tried on Dreamcast plays absolutely fine in redream, no slowdown, no glitches and the button and stick layout is pretty much perfect.
Saturn is hit and miss, none of the retroarch cores work and the included yabasanshiro standalone emulator works ok in some games, but there are glitches and the performance isn't perfect. It also has a tendency to crash. That said, I haven't tried too many games so there may be some setting I'm missing. And to be fair that's more a reflection of Saturn emulation on Android than the RP2+ itself, so it may get better over time.

>>8527176
linux retard

>>8525991
want to get one that runs ps2 and gc well

>>8527248
name 5 that run linux

>>8527254
Bro... What do you think Batocera, EmuELEC, ArkOS, etc. are?

>>8527254
>he doesn't know...

>>8527271
>>8527273
>can't even name 1
I rest my case

>>8527276
>he's actually retarded...

>>8527282
says the one who can't answer a simple question

>>8527127
It wasn't even that bad then, it got the bad reputation back in Honeycomb (when it really was deserved).

>>8525991
I pretty much dropped my 351MP when I got a 2DS XL. I don't want to spend all day configuring shit, but 351elec (the only one pre-configured) takes a lifetime to boot and then load a game. A lot of them have great build quality and the potential of a linux system that can run anything is really exciting, but it's unfortunately marred by lackluster software support. One German autist asshole doesn't outdo a whole R&D team.
My 2DS can play everything my 351MP can with the exception of systems that are so spotty they're not worthwhile anyway (N64, Dreamcast, PSP). The only thing I'm really missing is decent Neo Geo support.
Don't get me wrong, they're generally built well and a good deal for what you get, but I have a way better experience with VC injects.

Why are there 2 different brand names ?

>>8527407
Man that price is way too much.

>>8527469
inflation is a bitch

>>8527469
Isn't this standard price ? I live in austria...185€ with free shipping and 10-20€ cheaper on ali with 30+ days of shipping...
Iam currently checking the RP2+ specs and maybe go with that one but i hate touchscreen..hope you can disable it !?

>>8527556
$149 is standard i believe, might have gone up in january like every thing else did

>>8527556
Yeah you can disable the touchscreen on the RP2+.

>>8527573
it's still around 150$ when I look at it on aliexpress. 180€ seems like it's too much.

>>8527576
he's euro so they're probably pushing the vax tax onto the customer

>>8527586
*VATS tax lmfao, dunno why i wrote vax

>>8525991
Why buy this shit when you can just buy a telescoping controller for your phone.

Nope, all garbage. Currently waiting for my steam deck to get here. Of course the size isn't exactly portable but I'm betting it'll be my handheld/in bed emulation machine of choice once I get it

>>8527576

Ehm guys is there a specific reason why rg351mp is more mentioned here and generally than the RP2+ ??
Just watched this video...dreamcast and psp run well on these 2gig devices...
And it's cheaper than rg351mp

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XPj6WV28bhI&t=171

Give me a reason not to buy the RP2+

>>8527610
You should buy whichever one you want. People tend to talk about the ones they own.

>>8527610
build quality has reportedly been shit

>>8527627
Iam not that wise desu. All i want is a handheld for classic games but als one that can play "modern" games from time to time. Modern as in ps1 psp.
Iam checking more reviews on the rp2+ now and will decide hopefully lol

I ordered the Retroid Pocket 2+ at the end of December and i'm still waiting on it to show up. How long do these things take?

>>8527634
Not the build quality but the quality control, which Retroid says they've fixed.

>>8527826
Found one from a local seller.
Same price as new but faster shipping time i guess..
Seller says its brand new and he doesn't like the OS that's why he's selling it.
I'll grab this

>>8527690
been trying to cancel my order, their customer support is ass

>>8527690
Like a month for it to ship, then it varies depending on the shipping option you chose.

>>8527864
I had pretty good experiences with their customer support. They stopped me from buying an extra screen protector.

>>8527607
Steam deck will obviously blow these out of the water, but for people who don’t want to or can’t spend that much money these things are a decent enough value option

>>8527835
The wait might be worth it if it means you get some form of warranty on the RP2+ from the manufacturer.

>>8527407
How do they come up with these names anyway? Some kind of chink brand name auto generator?

does the RG350P have any serious defects?
I want something that can do up to GBA, landscape, PSX button layout, 4:3 screen and under $100. As nice as the RG351MP it seems to expensive at the moment, and the 351P has a non 4:3 screen, so this seems like the best next option. Don't mind playing GBA games in a 4:3 screen as much I would mind playing everything else in the screen of the 351P.

>>8528026
The retroid pocket 2+ has better specs and is cheaper.
100$ + some shipping or so...every jewtuber advices it as "under 100$ handheld"

>>8527690
Ordered mine in the middle of November and got it last week.

>>8528026
R350P doesnt have a 4:3 screen, the only one that does in that form factor is the 351MP

>>8528062
The 350P has a 4:3 screen, you're thinking of the 351P.

>>8528069
Ah, my bad anon.

>>8528060
It may as well be vaporware with how long it takes to get one these days.
Besides, not PSX layout.

>>8528073
It's hard to keep track of them at this point.

I'm happy with my 351p. It's more enjoyable to play than my GBA SP, and shipped with thousands of games. I don't see why /vr/ gets so butt hurt about these systems. I would have killed for one of these when I was a kid.

>>8528378
We'll we enough people who use them to have threads about them. Using my RP2+ to go through my JRPG, PS1, and Megaman backlog.

>>8526001
>Hur,hur hur ..I'm out performing you by paying 4 times as much!

>>8527610
MP has good quality, superior cfw, and best ergonomics among that price range.

What's the best option for Linux handhelds without breaking the bank too much? Android's input lag seems like a huge negative to me.
Going towards Aya Neo/Pro levels of price is a bit too much for a handheld.

>>8527243
thanks.

what about the touch screen, can i use it like for amiga games that use the mouse? and does it work well?

what's the total price of the rp2+ for a european? (taxes+ shipping included)

>>8528795
Just checked their site...around 100€ for device and 18€ for shipping to austria

>>8528942
Cost summary
Description Price
Subtotal $99.00
Shipping Shipping costs Calculated at next step
Taxes (estimated) $19.80
Total USD $118.80

i think you're talking about the taxes. shipping cost is at next step but i don't wanna go to next step

>>8528706
depends what you want Linux for.

>>8526484
Bad, sound cracking

>>8527145
They made a USB C version, you don’t need to relay on bluetooth

Should I bite the bullet and buy a rp2+ from a reseller or should I go for another handheld? I want something that is equal to or better than rp2+

>>8529290
If you can wait for it I'd get it from the source themselves.

>>8525991
GB Boy is more accurate than Analogue pocket since the chinks actually made a silicon copy of the original GBC CPU

>>8525991
Is he right?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0iKe_ydLs0

>>8528784
Yes, to a an extent. I'm using the puae core in retroarch because it works nicely in retroarch. You can use the touch screen to emulate a mouse but it works more like a trackpad than a touchscreen (i.e. not 1:1). Apparently this is a limitation of how the Amiga mouse worked and would require per game hacks to fix. So it ain't happening.
You can also use the left stick to emulate a mouse, which works fine. It's not ideal but I perfected a few levels of Lemmings while testing this out so it's definitely playable. I'd say this is probably the best portable Amiga emulator I've used, and believe me, I've been looking for one for years.

>>8529501
Yes
chinks have no reputation to tarnish so they are far too happy to ship a half-baked design.
Consumers are dumb and will eat each one up like a piece of candy

>>8525991
I wish programs could be sideloaded onto the Switch. It would be the ultimate device for emulation.

>>8529501
Honestly my biggest concern is just like he said, they put out a fuckton of handhelds and there's always some annoyance attached to each of them. There's always something, whether it's the screen being an aspect ratio that only fits one platform, the buttons being just shitty along with the d-pad (which frankly in many of these you're gonna use a lot more than the stick) or something similar that makes them garbage. These motherfuckers are allergic to ergonomics too. I get they're trying to go for aesthetic and small, but some people want these handhelds to play them, not as a fucking trinket. I laugh though when some people would say "I wouldn't want to be seen outside with X model because it's too big or too wide". I personally wouldn't want to be seen outside with anything but a smartphone.

But mostly he's right. You either pay up the ass or get fucked somewhere. Lot of these handhelds have shitty stock software or at least something that needs some tinkering. The RP2+ gets pretty popular now but honestly I don't like the fucking analog slider and the form factor, the fact it gets advertised as being good for gamecube when it's like saying that the RG351's are good for n64 and frankly I'm not a fan of android. You go for something pricier and good luck matching the performance though. Like the RGB10 Max 2, even though I can grab it for cheaper in my country, I understand it's more expensive than the RP2+. You have a handheld that gets a lot done well, ergonomics specially, but it heats up too much (easy fix, I know, but still that's another $5) and it's just not powerful enough.

>>8529501
The Powkiddy A20 IS shit, but the rest of it sounds like personal problems and unreasonable expectations.

>>8529501
Reviews exist for a reason, so a lot of what he says shouldn't be a problem for anybody except the impatient people that buy a new device as soon as it comes out without doing any research. This guy IS a reviewer though, so I'm not sure what he's complaining about when he gets a lot of that shit for free and when he doesn't he just recoups the money through the content that he makes about the device anyways, he's in a privileged position compared to your regular consumer.

If you ask me, reviewers themselves are a bigger problem, because a lot of the time they have very low standards .A lot of them only test games with the most basic functions (barely anyone ever touches on things like run-ahead, shaders, rewind, etc), the word "perfect" is used to describe emulation very carelessly (anything that has frame dips and audio crackling, however minor, is not "perfect"), likewise, games that run at like 40FPS with distorted audio shouldn't be called "playable", and people that only test the same basic 6 or so games for a given platform, shouldn't use that experience to pass bold judgments like "yeah, you can easily play X% of the system's library on this device".

And then there's ergonomics which are so subjective that they're pretty much impossible to judge, doesn't help that all reviewers are normalfag dads that can only afford to play for like 30 minutes a day before going back to their married lives.

>>8529774
I think a problem occurring is that these reviewers are getting truckloads of free hardware and have no reason not to make that review and some $$$.
Alot of these devices should not be given the time of day

>>8529774
>Reviews exist for a reason, so a lot of what he says shouldn't be a problem for anybody except the impatient people that buy a new device as soon as it comes out without doing any research.
Yeah, but there's not a lot of research to be done when, just like you said, you have people trying to shill without pointing out some details that if you're lucky, you'll find someone in fucking reddit showing as a problem months down the line.

Also ergonomics are difficult to judge when these consoles look the same mostly, but fuck, you know whether or not you want a portrait or a landscape device and where buttons should be at least. There are many handhelds out there that just outright don't look comfortable to use for long periods of time and anyone can see they're clearly designed to just look cute.

90% of them are chinese garbage

original PSP is still the best emulator handheld

>>8530129
this always comes from someone who has never held any of them

its simply poorfag cope

>>8530129
Original PSP is so-so for fucking SNES/GBA. It just happens to handle PS1 well.

I got the og RG350 for like 75 bucks and use it almost every day. Until N64/DC is 100% perfect, I see no reason to "upgrade" to anything else.

>>8529820
That's why I pretty much only watch Retro Game Corps. Dude mostly buys his own hardware or at least says that he does. In a video on RP2+ (I think?) he mentioned that he received a review piece, before the one he bought arrived, so had two in the video to compare.

Then again, I don't watch reviews to figure out what to buy, more like to see where the tech is at the moment. I'm quite happy with my RG351P running arkOS, playing:
- JRPGs I've never tried (translated Dragon Quest 3 on SNES is comfy as fuck),
- nostalgia crap I played in my childhood (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone for PS1),
- random GBA stuff (Mario Party Advance, lol),
- Pico8 shit (Porklike is surprisingly deep and thought out tiny game).

Does anyone have a link to that website where you pick a system, an aspect ratio and an anbernic device and it shows you what it looks like on the device's screen? like how much black bars you have? I'm pretty sure I saw it on this board a while back but I lost it.

>>8530129
it's not 2008 anymore

>>8530431
Retro Game Corps is pretty based, very little chaff and lots of substance in the videos.
It's interesting how much video game media we have before us, essentially for free. I've been gathering romhacks that fix basic stuff and fan translations of good games that just were never localized, and damn there are so many of them. I could never in my lifetime finish all the fan translated RPGs, good romhacks, homebrewed games for old platforms etc that exist now unless I quit my job and livestreamed myself playing them 16 hours a day as my "job".

>>8530754
well it looks like it is. these consoles still struggle to make anything work beyond ps1

>>8530824
where as the psp cant even do snes full speed without frameskip you mongaloid

>>8530807
>It's interesting how much video game media we have before us, essentially for free.
That's why I love retro gaming. Some games aged well, some horribly, some haven't aged at all.
What fan translations or romhacks would you recommend? The only homebrew that I recall right now worth recommending is POWDER, but it's fantastic. Never would have expected a roguelike for GBA to be so engaging.

>>8529501
He's not wrong, but you are buying a chinese handheld whose sole purpose is to play pirated games. These things aren't walled gardens like a regular console.
I think these things are getting more popular than they should be. People see that they can play all of these systems but then freak out when you have to dig in and tweak things to make it work the way you want.

I just bought a rg280v that’s supposed to eventually arrive from China, payed only $60 for it so I don’t care, it’s my first of these things and I didn’t want to pay much. I decided between these two and got the Anbernic because people say that it’s built better. I have 125 games ready for systems ranging from game boy to ps1, recommend me your favorites or call me an idiot.

>>8532140
Tetris Attack, JoJo fighting game for PS1, pokemon rom hacks. Those have been keeping me busy recently.

>>8532140
https://retrogamecorps.com/2021/08/20/rg350-rg280-series-starter-guide/

>>8532140
how small is this thing? i can barely hold or get comfortable playing games on an old3ds

>>8526021
Silence, Chang.

>>8526127
Can't you plug it in? to the mains or TV?

>>8526484
Why not look for a YT vid of it?

Does anyone know how emulation is on the RP2+ compared to a hacked Switch? I'm after something smaller and I don't really want to buy a new Lite + a chip since that'd be needlessly expensive.

>>8532237
The mains as in power? It has a dedicated power jack slot. It's simple and cheap to put a battery pack in as well, if that's more the users tastes. It also has a micro usb slot in the battery compartment, although I'm not sure if it is able to do video out. If anyone interested in it can find one for $60-70 USD or so it's an awesome system. Toss in a Pi Zero 2 W and you have plenty of power from 2600 to more or less all PS1 titles that do not need dual sticks and LR2.

>>8525991
No. All Emulation bullshit. Yes, hardware emulation is still emulation, retards.
Even the 80~90s clone consoles were better and more of the real stuff than those overpriced abominations.

>>8528074
Christ, zoomers can't wait a month.

>>8525991
I think some anons are too harsh on these devices (understandably so I guess) -- got my RG351P a little while ago but only just got 351elec running. So far it's working very well. Emulates PS1 about as well as you could ask for. N64 has some issues though, most of the games I've tried have some sort of graphical issues or shit performance. The biggest problem I'm having w/ n64 is controller mapping stuff... for instance, in Star Fox 64 I can't boost or brake.

The only N64 game I really wanted to work is Paper Mario (b/c I don't have it on my actual N64) but for some reason no matter what I do Mario always moves up automatically. Plus some graphical bugs etc..

GBA/SNES/NES/GBC/MAME all working very well. I haven't tried many NDS games but Partners In Time works really well (once you download drastic ofc). Haven't bothered with PSP

>>8532386
I wouldn't call ~$100 overpriced when the majority of original games + hardware are insanely expensive now. If I tried to actually buy even 25% of the GBA games I want to play on this emulator I would be spending hundreds of dollars and would still run the risk of getting counterfeit carts. N64 is arguably even worse... Authentic Paper Mario carts are like $80 at a store near where I live.

>>8529290
How much are you willing to spend?
HERE IS THE LIST OF HANDHELDS
https://docs
DOT google.com/spreadsheets/d/1irg60f9qsZOkhp0cwOU7Cy4rJQeyusEUzTNQzhoTYTU/edit#gid=0

>>8526127
Do Pis make good emulation units? I have a 4B laying about doing nothing and I enjoy little DIY things. If I get a capable handheld by the end I'd be more than happy

>>8532496
Is there a case to be made for just using an android phone with a controller attachment rather than buying a dedicated device? I would think that standard smart phone specs are way better than any of these Chinese devices

>>8530807
I don't get why this dude shits on the 351V for being too "cramped" and "uncomfortable", but has a hardon for much smaller and cramped devices like the 280V and the Miyoo

My brother got the Anbernic 280V and it is not turning on with the power button after an hour of charging. When charging, the led flashes red and only turns on when plugged in. What might be the problem?

>>8532550
is he trying to turn it on while still plugged in?

>>8532550
have you tried holding the button down to power on?

>>8532534
I've not had any issue with my Zero, which it seems like most consider weak/low performance. The Zero 2 is I think four times as powerful as the Zero as well. I know there are parts kits out in the wild to purchase, so you could probably find something you can slap your 4B into and have fun with it.

>>8532537
even a snapdragon phone cpu from the last 5 years would blow past these these handhelds. Ultimately the selling point is a sleak ergonomic form factor, but we are still years away from seeing good hardware on these chinese devices. Maybe after the steam deck is out in the wild for some time

>>8529490
>made a silicon copy of the original GBC CPU
Why don't people do this for the N64 and such?

>>8529501
>This asshole shilling his anal log pocket.
Opinion discarded.

>>8532553
He tried turning it on twice when plugged in. Once when he got it last night and again tonight after charging it for an hour.

>>8532554
Yes, held for 20 seconds and nothing unless plugged in.

>>8532165
I got it mostly so I can play Pokémon at 10c speed with one hand on the toilet. Non porn related I swear.

>>8532585
Try turning it on without an SD card in it.

>>8532589
I read that would lead to a bownout where it won't turn off until the battery died. I should not that my brother hasn't done any firmware changes to it.

>>8532537
There's certainly a case for it. On the surface it's a great idea, it's just
>Not everyone has the latest phone
>Not everyone can warrant upgrading to a newer phone just to emulate if they have a shit one
>Grips aren't universal so if you don't like clip-on controllers you've got to find a phone that fits a grip
>Picking the right phone is like picking these one of these handhelds on steroids, there's so much fucking choice, availability varying and such
>Some people just prefer having a dedicated gaming device, people who use their phones for social media, work, other things probably don't want notifications every 10 or so minutes that they've received an email while they're gaming
>Input lag and such, which is going to be a thing on any Android device anyway
Don't get me wrong, if it works for you then all the more power to you and I hope you enjoy it. It's just not for everyone. Personally, my phone's a piece of shit but it watches Youtube, browses this place while I'm in bed, answers my emails and makes calls so it's doing everything I want a phone to do. Shit's not emulating anything fancy though.

>>8532537
Look up Snapdragon 845 phone prices and tell me they are anywhere near the price of the devices that have a more dedicated software towards gaming..

>>8532658
>>8532537
Forgot my biggest gripe.
Phone industry is moving away from expandable memory via micro SD cards which sucks considering the size of PSX and Gamecube ISOs adding up. Even dedicated 'gaming phones' are lacking them these days.

>>8532564
Proof of prices for that phone?

>All that shit in the spreadsheet referencing Taki
Taki has to be one of the worst fucking reviewers of this shit. He tinkers with settings until he has something that looks playable and then claims the device is great for emulating it out of the box
https://youtu.be/fAiWAClOW9M
Fucker's showing Wind Waker running at a close to solid 30FPS on the RP2+, meanwhile literally all the new comments are like "even on MMJ mine's barely working".
That's not even starting on his fake shit.
https://youtu.be/INP7uRdTVeQ?t=731
>SMO and NH clearly dropping frames
>His FPS counter stays at a completely solid 30 and 60

As someone who bought into the hype of the original Retroid Pocket 2 and got really let down, I understand the fear that this shit is all a scam. It all looks cool on paper and the youtubers talk a good talk but for example, with that specific handheld at least, no one tells you how annoying setting everything up is, how laggy the android shit is, etc. Plus you'll never know if you like the layout/buttons until you actually get your hands on it. I know there's 3rd party frontends on the android store but after fiddling with the thing for like a week it still never felt "right".

I decided to risk it again on an RG351MP and have had a much better experience with 351elec, all the bitch work is taken care of and you just drag and drop the roms. It really has been a good experience and I've probably played it more in the last week or so than I ever played on the RP2. The button layout and feel is much better too, so far I'm glad I took the consoomer plunge.

I'm not just shilling this particular device, there's some stupid shit like no internal wifi and I've heard some people have had trouble with audio buzzing and paint flecking - not to mention the price. Conversely, I've heard the RP2+ might be a lot better since it has a default frontend and improved controls (I'd maybe wait to see what they're doing for the RP3?)
Just saying, do your research and get all the info on what's out there and balance it against what you want to do with the device. Learn from multiple sources as individual youtubers can be pretty sketchy. Look into CFW because you'll probably desperately need it. Most of all ask yourself if you're actually going to play it and not just trying to fill a consoomer void in your heart with more things.

>>8532743
>He tinkers with settings until he has something that looks playable and then claims the device is great for emulating it out of the box
He does that to get the framerates better for the games but he never says they run well out of the box, atleast from what I've seen.

>>8532779
I would be fine with showing gameplay resulting from a complicated config if he would actually show exactly how to do the config.
I think of all the big channels that cover this stuff he’s probably the most likely to be getting kickbacks from the manufacturers

>>8532843
He said he was going to make a tutorial for GC on RP2+ later but yeah considering he does stuff like consulting for Retroid I don't doubt he probably gets kickbacks. He also does stuff like rail on Anbernic when they released the RG552 and had the audio delay bug on launch so I dunno.

my problem: i want the wooden anbernic that looks so good, but i want the saturn and dreamcast emulation of the rp2+. what will i regret the most, not having the wooden console or not having saturn and dreamcast?

>>8532857
Counter offer. MAKE your own case for the RP2+.

>>8532857
The RG351V? I heard it's really uncomfortable. Despite the improvements on the RP2+ I wouldn't put much stock in saturn/dreamcast emulation either, especially saturn.

>>8532857
Personally I think the fake wooden look looks tacky.

>>8532857
>the wooden anbernic that looks so good

>>8532915
This I assume, I think it looks like shit.

>>8525991
What do you guys use to charge your RG351? I’m just now discovering that it isn’t safe to use a phone charger with this thing, good chance I permanently fucked my device’s battery.
What a fucking retarded move by Anbernic

>>8532537
Sort of what I did. What people don't seem to understand is that phones are obviously pricier because they're more useful. You're not buying a phone for emulation purposes only. It's like people a few years ago (before shit hit the fan hard) going on about how consoles were cheaper than PCs. It's an absurd comparison.

You could even get close in terms of price/performance. I have a phone I don't use anymore with a snapdragon 625 and sure it can't handle gamecube for shit (neither can my 730 to be honest, I have to tinker quite a bit to get to something playable) but if you enable a setting on flycast you can get stuff like crazy taxi working at 60fps with no issues.

I would say that handhelds are more convenient because you have a smaller form factor and they come with their own frontend where it's easy to just pick a game and go rather than have to open apps on android. But if you don't mind those, you can save some money. I certainly don't think it's worth spending $100 (RP2+) to play the same shit I do on my phone, and would only consider it they put that hardware on something like the RGB10 Max 2, because at that point I'm paying for having something comfy to use.

>>8532569
A lot more complicated than the GB CPU

>>8532924
This looks soulful as fuck

>>8532537
The touch screen makes it great for DS emulation, with slower adventure and turn based games you don't even need a controller

>>8532861
I'd say it depends on your hands, I can play for hours on mine without cramps while my og 3DS destroys them in less than 15 minutes.

>>8532959
The cable that came with it and a phone charger, werks for me

>>8533158
>my og 3DS destroys them in less than 15 minutes
Seriously. I don't even use mine anymore, mainly because of that. Nintendo is very fucking weird with ergonomics sometimes (although the switch lite looks fine)

Is there a good psp clone? I want to get a psp but don't want to pay lots of money on a second hand device probably with a dead battery

>>8532959
>I’m just now discovering that it isn’t safe to use a phone charger with this thing
says who?

>>8533508
Anyone of the horizontal Anbernic devices (rg351 etc) has you set for psp, also retroid pocket 2 is probably better for the same or less money, just not built as well. The best part is that you can get two analogue sticks in most of these.

>>8533518
Don’t listen to him, he doesn’t even give enough info to tell whether or not he’s correct. As long as your charger is within spec (wattage and amps) you’re fine.

do the buttons being a bit too close to the screen on the 351P and similar layouts bother anyone? Even for non-fat people, whenever I see reviewers play it on camera and press Y it feels like the finger partially presses on the right side of the bezel.

>>8533519
thanks anon, will check them

>>8533519
doesnt the rg351v/mp struggle with most psp games?

>>8533523
I read that any power block with fast charging will potentially damage the device, and that it isn’t safe to use an iphone charger for instance (the block not the cord)

Someone with a Retroid Pocket 2+ convince me to buy it please
How do you like it ?

>>8533634
That’s because fast chargers are regularly in excess of 30-70w. I think iPhones chargers are closer to 30w, but that could be serious overkill for a device that requires 5w only for instance. Again, just check your charger, every single one sold in basically every country has their wattage and amperage listed on it. Basic 5w phone chargers should work just fine for these things.

>>8533612
>>8533593
That’s why I recommend the retroid pocket 2 as well, it is very new though. They’re a great deal for the price and you even get your psp style analogue slider.

>>8533743
>psp style analogue slider
Is there anyone that actually likes this

>>8533748
No but he said he wanted a psp clone so there’s that

>>8526014
>I wish a company in Japan, the US, or the EU would make a quality emulator
Which surely would not produced in China at all, right?

>>8533752
Ah yes, same quality control and all. Couldn't tell Sony from "Guabayuquee" or "Radoo", really.

>>8533634
>>8533741
I use 5 V, 1.0 A charger from my old Huawei phone for my RG351P. It works.

Also, I'm retarded and managed to accidentally connect it to fast Xiaomi's fast charger (max output about 33W) AND to my girlfriend's Samsung's fast charger (max about 25W) on two separate occasions. In both cases I noticed almost immediately, disconnecting them in less than 15 seconds. The charging light just blinked a few times before going dark. Handheld still works just fine.

tl;dr don't use fast chargers

>>8529501
>>8525991
I will put this bluntly, if you are emulating 2d consoles, these should be ok, if you are emulating the REALLY demanding games for those consoles, far less so, and then if you want to move to 3d, get fucked.

here is what I recommend. get a kindle fire, and put retroarch on it, samsung also has a 150$ tablet that may be worth it over amazon, load your rom collection on it and have fun, bluetooth controller sold separately.

you want something demanding, phone and bluetooth controller, 8bitdo makes really good small ones for pocketability, and they make a switch controller substitute that is capable of emulating analog sticks so its pocketable, won't be perfect, but you aren't playing a precision analogue game on your phone.

you want the best, this will probably be where valves steam deck shines, it should do everything up to wii possibly wiiu, and potentially some 360/ps3, but most likely the generation prior for those, that will be the emulation gold standard on the go. you want smaller? pay the 1000$ or so for a phone with power, personally this is a non starter for me as im not paying that much for something I deem useless, but this is just the way I see it.

tablet emulation for sub 200$
phone emulation for sub 600$
steam deck when it comes out for base cost 400$

if space is a real concern, phone substitute. and lets be 100% clear, you are not going to be playing emulated games in a business suit, so not being able to carry a small phone holder and a flat controller but being able to justify a gameboy sized device is not a thing.

>>8532467
400$ gets you fpga emulation
you likely have a phone that can emulate most of what these can and likely better
you are likely on a computer that may be able to do 360 and ps3

yea, we are harsh on these for a reason, you either make them perfect, or get the fuck out of here with shit we don't need.

>>8533861
The point is not to carry but to hold. Nobody wants to use a tiny bluetooth controller that can't even hold a phone by itself. What are you gonna do, play on your lap? Fuck outta here.

>>8530824
retard
>>8530837
i saw that and i was like, wtf this retard doesn't even know what he's talking about, but you nailed with your post a saved my time lol

>>8533909
The PSP was good a decade ago when all we had was a fucking Canoo. Mine has a broken shell and I don't even want to replace it because it's honestly shit. I bet some $60 handheld can emulate FFIX better, since the PSP chokes with it (despite it being praised for PS1 support).

>>8533905
well i'm not playing anything on the go that is demanding unless I have a table in front of me, so a small stand for a phone there if I can't deal with touch screen controls. and i'm not playing anything that demands analogue sticks without real analogue sticks and not micro shit or emulation, so I would now have an 8bitdo sn30pro+, and even than, I would likely also have a tablet with me if I have that as the controller.

I can see these being amazing as a kid, pre switch, and soon to be pre steamdeck, but as an adult, the places I go where I could veg out on a phone in the real world and not have to be able to put it down in a seconds notice is fucking slim. maybe if I had long commutes that were public transport but I don't.

>>8533920
If you don't have a 351MP, get one, man playing on that screen and resolution it's better than fucking pussy, hm!

>>8533904
>or get the fuck out of here with shit we don't need
You mean smartphones?

>>8533938
the screen is too good, but I can't grab it for cheap here. For its price I could grab an RGB10 max 2, which doesn't have the same resolution but it looks nicer to hold

>>8533942
I mean shit like the dedicated hardware to emulate, what is in op image.

either that hardware should be perfect with no major problems or why use it over a phone with some on screen, and coming soon, we will have portable dedicated gaming hardware that's good, a bit of a buy in at 400 for the cheapest, but good hardware that may do up to ps3/360, and if you want authentic and you want a sit down experience, we have fpga for the same price, granted limited to the non 3d consoles as of now, but potentially being built out for ps1 and saturn.

I see those portables as trying to fill a gap but filling it poorly.

>>8533943
Anbernic will have to take some moves and cut prices soon or later, the Odin it's coming and Retroid will slice a nice portion of their (Anbernic) market with that RP2+, even though it runs on poodroid, wait for a while and you'll do fine.

>>8534003
Yeah I'm waiting until a drop in price for those. Honestly I think the RP2+ came out wrong enough that I'm considering anything else, but I don't want to pay up the ass either. I'm in no rush.

>>8534014
Yeah, that's the smart move for anyone who doesn't have any device atm.

>>8533961
I would rather use a dedicated emulator over a phone of any kind. Paying $400 for Steamshit is a no as well. Valve fucked over the gaming industry with their shitty social DRM platform, and I can only hope they fail as a company and Steam is shut down. Sadly I doubt that will happen any time soon since it seems like kids these days are happily going digital only.


>and if you want authentic and you want a sit down experience, we have fpga for the same price
FPGA is just glorified emulation. Anyone is better off buying original hardware and software, or a flashcart/burning disks instead.

>>8534070
Idk, steam has been nothing but good for me. Ease of use, massive discounts, plus the platform makes it infinitely easier for developers to release games independently. I’m not planning on buying a steamdeck but the specs are really solid, it’s a great deal in terms of price-to-performance.

I get the DRM concern but that would be happening regardless of Steam.

>>8534090
>I get the DRM concern but that would be happening regardless of Steam.
Can you say that with utmost sincerity? Yes, some late physical PC releases had things like securom and other forms of "security", but it was easy to find out which ones and to either pirate the software or not buy it at all. With Steam you are renting games that are locked to the Steam platform, and have to use official Steam spyware to use said games. Centralization of PC servers and software was a mistake and needs to be undone. Better to have to use your brain and possibly grab patches and cracks from the web instead of giving up the freedoms you should rightfully have and the ownership of your media.

>>8534138
Not that it negates your point but almost everything in my personal steam library has been simple to remove steam's drm from. I have most things cracked and backed up digitally

I dont think all games have cracks for steam drm, but a good number do. Obviously games with other drm as well are up in the air though

>>8534159
Plenty have cracks and drm removal options, but those should not be needed in the first place. If people want to buy digitally more power to them, even if I disagree with the practice. However Steam has a monopoly on the PC gaming market and have essentially killed off physical game releases. If I want to buy a single player game I should be able to go and buy a boxed copy, pop the disc in and play it. There should be options, and not being forced to use Steam/Origin/Uplay. Yes, GoG exists but that's like a drop of clean water in a pool otherwise filled with piss.

>>8527129
hilarious and disgusting

>>8526917
>you don’t need to consoom worthless plastic
>just buy this android device filled with rare earth metals and a volatile battery that will break in a few months

>>8534256
I prefer owning physical copies in theory, but in practice it’s better not to create more unnecessary waste. Not trying to be Al Gore here, just saying less trash is better

>>8534286
>>8534309
Fair point

Bloody hell Anbernic, just because your latest product is a bit naff there's no reason for your marketing guys to come in so hard and stink up these threads.

>>8534309
Eh, I'm more worried about the deluge of phones, tablets and appliances that are built with planned obsolescence from the start. Or disposable plastic in general. A disc release in the later Xbox 360 style hurricane case made of recycled material would barely be anything compared to the e-waste being put out daily. That said I do understand your point, and while this is 4chan I hope I'm not coming off as a complete cunt in my behavior considering your replies and possibly others have been civil and worthwhile.

>>8534329
Yeah you’re absolutely right

>>8525991
>540USD for a gameboy in 2022

>>8534346
You can get something that plays everything up to & including GBA games for less than $50 anon

>>8534070
an fpga/field programmable gate array is like saying that a wiiu is emulating a wii, all it does is change its hardware a bit to perfectly mimic what was there. granted in wiiu's case it downclocks, but same thing, it essentially changes the way the hardware functions to fit its purpose, while actual hardware would be an asic. fpgas tend to work well for low run chips, where the cost of a purpose made asic would not benefit it, or in the case of our emulation wants, the ability to change how the hardware works on a per system basis.

as for better off with original hardware, depends, 400$ gets you damn near fucking everything pre 3d, with outputs for modern displays so there is no need to mod systems or get expensive converters.

as for steam deck, thats your problem with steam, I don't like the way that games went either, but its not like if I buy a game today I get anything on a disc, I get download codes for whatever game service it wants. and for steam specifically, they are the only ones so far that have a perfect to my knowledge track record for letting you keep the games if they get pulled and if for some reason they pull a game 100% refunding you for it. and as far as drm goes, its thankfully FAR from the worst, would take steam over denovu any day.
but your in luck, as you can apparently install whatever os you want on the devices, and at least hardware wise, I have 0 complaints for valve.

as for dedicated emulator over a phone... phones are typically more powerful so they can give an emulator that bit more umph they need to play smooth, and I said before, i'm not playing anything that I can't put down at a moments notice on the go, so having dedicated hardware buttons has little appeal.

>>8534138
the moment that games were downloadable in reasonable time frames, keep in mind, dial up was what... 150mb over the course of 8 hours... and a fuck up in the middle may not let you continue downloading, yes, you would have the media locally,, but by xbox 360, you could legitimately download 8gb games in an afternoon with an uninterrupted line, this was the death knell for ownership, the fact that valve saw this and made a bold move first was a fucking blessing, we could have easily been under an activision owned platform, or an ea owned one. or more likely, we would have been under needing accounts for every developer rather than just the major ones.

and yes, you say that we rent games, that has been true for as long as I remember, its just been 100% unenforceable up till digital only games and as far as I know, no one has pulled the trigger on renting a game outside of games that only exist/are playable online and have died.

"Game runs perfectly"

>>8534846
able to get from start to finish is perfect for him

I hate that there's no in-between with these things.
It's either trying to be a budget device that's literally so close to being perfect but could use a better quality screen and just a tad bit more power or some ~$1000 device that plays everything which I don't care for.

I'd absolutely love something like the Retroid Pocket 2 with a higher quality, slightly bigger 720p screen and a better touch screen for DS games along with just enough power to play the Gamecube Animal Crossing without hacks/frame dipping. Get the feeling that what I want is either never going to exist or is years away.

>>8535048
I just want to play ds games as they were intended with two screens and with a resistive touchscreen instead of capacitative smartphone shit

>>8535048
You won't see a retroid or powkiddy using a snapdragon because all the big dog phone manufacturers have dibs. A company like samsung could easily jumpstart a handheld revolution but they are busy with foldable autism

>>8535293
Spydragon is pozzed, so it's no big loss there.

>>8534138
>With Steam you are renting games that are locked to the Steam platform, and have to use official Steam spyware to use said games
You can play them offline.

>>8534329
All the new devices have built in batteries now. Whatever happened to our dreams of modular phones and up-gradable consoles? That, and the phones tracking devices never turning off will give the paranoid something else to worry about.

>>8535306
>Snapdragon is pozzed
I don't really got how the snapdragon set of chips by itself pozzed?

>>8535293
The Odin supposedly uses an 845, but I assume that's because they're old chips.

>>8535612
There is actually a handheld emulator that has been posted on here that runs on AA batteries. I use that as well as a MP3 player that runs on a AAA and it feels good, man.

Post your retro handhelds.

>>8535674
Hardware backdoors.

>>8526032

this but unironically
351m is great

>>8532496
Looking through the list and I'm not really seeing much I'm excited for, at first glance I thought the PiBoy XRS would've been a good price except for $150 they don't come with the actual RPi 4... Even the cheapest RPi 4 set is like 80 bucks so unless you already have one it's just too expensive for a Switch layout DMG style case. Even though it might not run everything perfectly I think the RPi 3b+ and 4 are solid for emulation especially since they can both output composite (need to toggle a setting on for the 4) if you ever want to jack into a CRT.
I might just get a Max 2 if I ever see one for around $100 or wait until October for a RP3

>>8534846
I can stomach some graphical weirdness but fucked up choppy audio is where I draw the line

>>8535871
Is that really a concern with what is essentially a fucking Game Boy?

>>8536071
Depends. Will you be using the device connected to any sort of wireless network, or connected via usb to any sort of computer? If yes, the answer is yes. I mean it might not be likely that the government/China/Megacorps/the hacker known as Anonymous will access your device and scan your network and devices hooked to the network, but do you really want to entertain the chance of it happening?

>>8533830
>fast chargers was a mistake

>>8532476
It's still overpriced. Especially when you already have a PC and Smartphone if you *really* want to emulate and are poor.

Honestly 4:3 screens are the best thing about these devices.

Every other aspect ratio and their black bars can suck my dick, phones included.

>>8535871
everything has hardware backdoors these days, probably the shit you're using as well unless your pc is a 15 year old autistpad with libreboot

>>8535756
What's your thoughts on the current state of chink handhelds, old timer?

>>8526176
>>8528571
cope, seethe and dilate

>>8536196
4:3 still has black bars for certain systems like GBA and PSP.

>>8536304
Nig, nig, and nig. (you)

>>8536327
There's plenty of portable devices with wide screen that you can play GBA on, of much higher quality too. I can't think of anything with a 4:3 screen besides these dedicated handhelds.

>>8536327
Also, PSP is not retro.

>>8536382
True, I just like playing two specific psp games on mine.

>>8536271
Sure as fuck better than the dismal offerings back in the early 2010's. The GCW Zero came out and then nothing but shitty android phones with controllers stapled to them until the GCW Zero clones came out I.E. the RG350's.

>>8525991
I'm very tempted by the Analogue Pocket, but a lot of my cartridges are either lost or now owned by my brother.
Does anyone know where I can buy physical GB, GBC, and GBA games for a reasonable price?

>>8536513
>I'm very tempted by the Analogue Pocket
Why? You're not getting one for at least a year or two unless you pay scalper prices and at the end you're just getting a glorified FPGA GBA in a Gameboy shell.

>>8536513
There is no difference between Pocket and other emulation devices that use gambatte or mgba, if you don't already have GB(C/A) cartridges.

If you do have cartridges, then I can see the appeal. Otherwise no point to waste $100 to buy Pokemon Emerald off some chink.

>>8532496
Fuck, the Odin doesn't look half bad. Around the size of a Switch Lite, stacked shoulder buttons and pretty good emulation performance.
Too pricey though to put blind faith into though, hoping we get to see reviewers with them soon.

>>8536572
It's releasing soon as they say so you should wait for release reviews and then in depth reviews if it entices you so. I also think that it's good but it's too good for what is essentially a patreon produced product. Look at Ouya lmao

>>8536572
£150 for a decent base model with no thrills but the Snapdragon 845 chipset. so decent 'B' grade PS2 at least. The lite I'm told can do similar but it's a different chip and I just don't know about it. E900 is it?

>>8536513
Don't appease the shills and their cope. There is literally no point to it.

>>8536572
Well it's that or the strange newcomer KT R1..

>>8536572
I'm still wondering what the power levels/ price of the ZP2 will be.

>>8536592
What do they [KT R1] mean by Snapdragon 845+?

>>8536572
When you look at the more expensive "high end" alternatives with the current tech it's a decent proposal, price wise.

Is it worth just grabbing a Poco X3 Pro and one of those gamesir controllers, wiping the phone of all the social media shit and just using it as an emulation device with the controller always attached?
Just looking quickly at the Odin, you're paying a similar amount for the Pro + shipping and the phone would have a better CPU.

>>8535756
only have an original model RG350 at the moment, after putting Adam on it it's running like a dream, might buy an RG350P down the road since they're dirt cheap on Amazon and it'd be nice to not have to deal with opening the device up if I need to access the internal card, not to mention the slightly better stick placement on the later RG350 variants

>>8536513
As a pocket owner, most games aren't worth the prices that they're being sold for now. You're better off just getting an Everdrive X5 Mini. But at that point you might want to ask yourself what you need a Pocket for that you can't satisfy with these other devices

>>8536536
I mean, Pocket runs GBA better. Shit like Mother 3 or Rhythm Heaven need to be cycle accurate for input reasons. It also has compatibility with other hardware, like link cables and shit.

My wifes son really loves these!

>>8527473
Amazon inflation

>fits my Galaxy Note 10 Plus
>feels pretty good
I don't see the need for a dedicated handheld when I'm not going to play games in public anytime soon. I don't hate the idea of these handhelds, but I'm not buying one when I have a perfectly good (if not better) device with a serviceable controller attachment. The quality of all these emulation devices seems all over the place, too

All I really want is a phone like the Xperia Play but newer specs.

>>8529490
GB Boy has a dogshit screen

I'm interested in getting one, What do you like about it?

We comfy.

>>8536829
2 or 2+ ?
Give us a customer feedback on these things...is the OS slow or acceptable at booting up ?

>>8536845
2+, the OS is just android and it's fine, I don't boot it up much I mostly keep it on sleep mode then resume when I want to keep playing.

>>8536848
Ty anon...hows the overall
>Damn i love this device more than i love oversized chinese cartoon tiddies
Feel ? I got a offer from someone for 100€ locally..he doesn't like android so he got the rg351mp instead and selling the rp2+ now...
The 351mp is a no go for me price wise

>>8536829
If there's one thing RP2+ did thats better than anbernic's 351 outside the specs, it's the location of the audio jack.

Im looking for a portable fighting game machine. Should I get the mp or just wait for a upgrade? I want to run Dreamcast for a solid portable way to play mvc2 at least

>>8536754
It's got surprisingly good build quality for one of these Chinese handhelds and does everything I need it to perfectly, which is just handheld games (gb/gbc/gba/wonderswan/neogeo/gamegear/lynx). I really like the weightiness of the metal casing and all the buttons feel good with the exception of the shoulder buttons which are on the clickier side. 351elec works really well and is easy to setup and customize. If you want, you can also download boxart and video previews through the built in wifi. The screen is literally perfect for gba games which is what I spend most of the time playing. The form factor and button layout is also nice, with both analog sticks (R3 and L3 included) on the bottom as opposed to something like the RP2/2+ where the left stick is on top, that's really just a matter of preference though. One thing I will say is that the speakers are maybe a tad too quiet but it's really not a huge issue and you can just use headphones anyways

Is the 351M really worth it for the wifi and metal casing?

when will the retroid pocket 2+ be on amazon??

>>8536513
Nowhere, lol

>>8537119
iirc you have to use external wifi dongle with the metal models because it acts like a ground cage and blocks the wifi signal.

>>8537264
worked perfectly for me with no dongle

>>8537264
He said M, not MP

>>8537290
ya but he mentioned metal casing

Do any of these have a 720p screen? So that I can integer scale vertically, but stretch nes/snes games to 4:3 with decent interpolation as to not blur the fuck out of it? 480p just isn't enough

>>8537292
I'm aware.
The M does have wifi, the MP doesn't.

>>8525991
I have a Pocket Go (second gen). It works well with most stuff it purports to play (up to PS1), but not everything and the file menu structure is not great. I've had fun with it but will wait until a small handheld is out there that can easily play Saturn, Dreamcast, N64 and Game Cube stuff before I replace it with an upgrade.

>>8537264
Doesn't the "m" model have wifi by default? I don't really wanna use a dongle. ~$50 more for an "M" model doesn't really seem ok

>>8537304
lolno

>>8537321
well another anon said it's mp only. i have an mp and it came with an external dongle (free), looked up online and its cus the metal case doesnt allow for an internal one

i guess the 351m is different so my bad for the confusion

>>8537321
None of them have it by default, they used to but then started taking them away arbitrarily in some models, plastic or metal has nothing to do with it.

RG351M and 351V have internal wifi
RG351P and RG351MP do not.

>>8537330
>>8537337
Oh all right, thanks. I'll think bout it some more.

>>8535882
?

>>8536536
>$100
It’s at least double. It’s one of two GbA games that I want, and I’ll never fucking get it.

>>8536646
I'm torn between picking up a RG350P off Amazon while they're cheap and waiting until I'm sure the QC issues are fixed and getting an RP2+.
Compatibility on the 350 seems good enough that it'd play everything I want for now outside of a couple N64 games anyways. Have you run into any weird compatibility issues?

>>8537304
The X18S is 720p, but the controls look kinda bad on it.

>>8537786
Do you mean 351p? I probably wouldn’t buy a 350p at this point unless it’s really cheap. You’ll generally be overpaying if you buy from Amazon as opposed to Ali Express, but it can be worth it for faster shipping.

If I were you, I’d get the RG351P if you want to get the device quickly. If you’re willing to wait for a month or more, go for the RP2+

>>8537786
>>8536646
All I see if a few models at $80, is that meant to be cheap? At this point even $100 for the 351 line is overpriced unless it's a metal shell.

>>8537802
It's not really, but that's what's available. Hopefully anbernic/powkiddy cut prices since getting only ps1 to run well is old news.

>>8537794
I thought they were still having QC issues with the RP2+, but if those are actually fixed, then I'll probably just go ahead and order one of those.

>>8537816
Retroid claims they are fixed.

>>8537826
>company claims product is perfect
Of course they do.

>>8537826
Guess I'll just wait and see how they look in a month or so when the next batch makes it out.

>>8537816
I placed my order about a week ago so I’ll post results when I actually get it. Expecting it to take at least a month to get here tho, wishing I had paid the extra ~$20 for dhl

>>8536829
If you're still about or come back, how's DS at x2 resolution? I wouldn't mind playing 480p Animal Crossing Wild World on a RP2+

>>8536875
https://youtu.be/Oy_ue_DpRkw?t=1390 It's apparently really good if you buy the drastic emulator, I was thinking about doing it for Rune factory and the nds castlevanias later

>>8537919
woops this meant for
>>8537908

>>8537808
This is why I just bought a rg280v. I’d love to have a device like the rg351mp, but until it can actually run the additional systems that it supports well, it’s kind of pointless to spend so much money on them.

>>8537985
How well does it handle PS1 actually? I thought of grabbing this one or a miyoo mini.

>>8537919
How expensive is a 3DS? I modded mine ages ago, you get all the NDS and 3DS libraries natively, emulated 2D stuff well and if its a New 3DS you can even get the N64/PSX generation with some limitations.

The DS/3DS games are probably the only games I would never consider emulating, given how specific the hardware for them was.

>>8538008
I dunno, there's only two series of NDS games I'm planning on playing and if it works well on the RP2+ then I don't need to get another NDS/3DS for them.

>>8537987

I'm not that poster but I have the RG280m and I feel it handles it PS1 ok even with the stock OS. My only concern with the 280V is how comfortable it would be to hold after a while.

>>8538046
Problem about the RG280M is that I cannot find it cheaper than an RG351P, at which point I would go for the latter. I guess the 280V is designed more for old school RPGs where you don't have to hold the thing all that much and can jerk off while playing.

>>8537786
The RG350P has an older CPU which is just shy of completely getting over the SFX chip/GBA/PS1 hurdle, your experience may vary depending on what games you choose to play though.

The 4:3 screen is nice though, the 4:3 options on the newer handhelds are kinda shitty right now : RG351V (shit form factor), RG351MP ($150), RetroidPocket 2+ (Poodroid and will most likely have to wait anywhere from 1 to 2 months to get one if you order today).

>>8538195
>Poodroid
Love how one thing gives away the same poster.

So what is actually wrong with android on emulation devices? Is it just some autistic hate or ??

>>8538246
Older versions of android had super high latency basically.

>>8537020
Thanks.

>>8538246
Android does still have more input latency than Linux, although it's much better than it used to be. It'd be nice if someone did some latency comparisons between some Android and Linux handhelds, but I've never seen one.

What kind of AV out is this ?
it looks like a 3.5mm audio jack.
its on the Atari flashback portable.

>>8538308
Its one of those cables that came with a bunch of the older chinese knock off consoles. outputs to mono sound and composite video

Phone is only good for emulating turn based games.

>>8538246
Latency for the most part. Even on newer devices, although I wonder if it depends on the vendor. I have 3 phones I tested for emulation. I plugged in (no wireless nonsense) an SN30 Pro+ and an xbox controller to them. My most "powerful" device right now is a Galaxy A71, which is not exactly all that dated, but it does choke with gamecube emulation a bit. All I can tell you is, there is some noticeable input lag, even if it's not much. Even disabling threaded video in RetroArch (which does make a difference, don't get me wrong) is not close to what I would get on PC through bluetooth. On a phone I can just about accept that, but on a dedicated handheld, fuck no. I don't know if Android can be tweaked on a lower level so that it has a higher polling rate through USB or whatever the fuck, but at the very least I have not had a phone where wired got close to what I have on other things I have, like my PC. I'm not sure if RP2+ fixed this too, but there's numerous reports of the RP2 out there that you can easily find with people comparing it to your average anbernic handheld and noticing some annoying input lag.

Also I see runahead as one of the fixes for this (RA only), but it's really not that helpful when your device cannot handle a certain core as smoothly with it enabled and I could swear to god that thing eats inputs sometimes.

>>8538195
>RG351V (shit form factor)
why?

>>8538308

>>8538458
not that anon, but it's awful ergonomically, the only appealing thing about it is the nostalgia factor with old gameboys. horizontal is far more comfortable

>>8538458
As a kid the GBC felt good to me but as an adult it's cramped as fuck and that's what the 351V feels like but at least the d-pad is in the right place so it's more comfy than the A20. Shoulder buttons on it feel better than the other vertical ones I've tried, especially since they're different heights.

>>8538458
I think the V is overhated, I'm totally fine with the form factor and it does not hurt my hands.

>>8537313
Is it this one?

>>8537987
check the spreadsheet on all the handhelds.

>>8538008
I played a load of DS games on my laptop and most of them worked fine.

>>8538472
It's kinda cool they could get all that out of a headphone jack looking hole. Is this desirable for analogue gaming TVs CRT?

What's the verdict on the RG300X?

>>8539116
Seems cool with cfw.

I'm considering selling my RG351V and just go back to my Vita for retro emulation. The form factor is starting to bother me and cause some pain in my left thumb. Is it worth it?

get the 351MP if you want the same screen in horizontal form factor

>>8539175
I'm planning to do exactly that but also wondering if it's worth it when I have a hacked Vita.

>>8539170
Why not carve a wooden holder for it? make it ergonomically your taste and seat it inside with some blutac.

>>8539116
Screen is too small, does it out to TV?

>>8536732
this. Not the shitty phone controller part, but a new Xperia Play would be a godsend in the era of larger scale mobile games like Call of Duty.

>>8539289
>Pixilated dick

>>8539186
can vita do full speed snes? i remember my psp2000 couldnt, i had to enable frame skip

>>8539335
I don't know man, the desperation in your tone suggests that you'd have trouble getting a $50 Pocket go s30. Just so you can catch up on some Snes/Ps games you missed out on while watching that TV show that you don;t really wanna watch.

>>8525991
For some reason I’m not able to get fast forward toggle to work in GBC (ganbatte) on my RG351P, anyone know what the problem might be?
The FF only stays on if I hold the button down, but I just confirmed that it’s set to toggle rather than hold. Any advice would be appreciated bc Pokémon games are unplayable to me without FF

>>8538246
>>8538246
Android Honeycomb had a rather interesting "feature" where all screen output would get sent back to the GPU, then it would check for screen orientation, and then actually perform the transformation. This meant everything was very laggy, and the lag would be different depending on screen orientation. That's where the bad rep came from.
Then up to Android 9 (I think, I've read conflicting reports) there was another interesting "feature" that the default Bluetooth implementation didn't treat the dualshock 4 as a controller properly if you weren't constantly pressing buttons for the first thirty seconds after pairing (it would go into a low power mode which turned the polling rate way down). And of course, people tried to get around this by using it wired, not realising that the first DS4 model didn't actually send button data over usb. So anyone using an early DS4 on Android probably got the idea that it was Android rather than just a specific incompatibility.
Also, there is an autist on here who specifically spergs out about Android but clearly has no idea what lag is and will sometimes try to use fancy terms like "audio latency" instead to sound clever.
Also also, various companies frequent these threads to denigrate their competition.

>>8539494
Is there an option to enable it? Maybe you have it enabled but the limiter is at 0 or something.

>>8539170
how can this form factor cause pain? it's just a good old game boy. explain please so i know if i should avoid

>>8540052
The location of the shoulder buttons is pretty uncomfortable iirc

I heard in a review that the retroid pocket 2+'s colored buttons are too thick and get stuck, is that true?

>>8540081
Some of the early ones did yeah but I have one and mind didn't.

>>8540081
What i understood was the old 2 version haf it's button colored so the layer caused to rub and stuck
With the 2+ they fixed this

>>8539380
im not him retard

>>8526917
PS2 emulation on android?

>>8540063
Not just that, the D-Pad and analogue stick are also a bit cumbersome for the thumbs

>>8539052
Not really, composite is considered low tier for CRTs. Not that it matters much unless you're a hardcore CRT autist, but on top of that, these chinese handhelds just don't have good video output in general. It may vary from device to device but it's hard to know what you're getting, just think of it as a cool bonus but keep your expectations low.

>>8525991
I've never owned one of these handhelds before, but I'd like to try them out, do all of them support ROMs or do I always need cartridges like in the Analogue Pocket? Do you have to jailbreak them or do most of them just support ROMs by default?

>>8540684
A lot of them actually come with roms out of the box, but you can put whatever you want on there via SD card and even install a custom firmware which is likely more efficient and customizable

>>8540698
I see, I was afraid all of them were like the Analogue Pocket, which I was interested in until I saw that it only worked with cartridges, I'll look into some of the options to see which I like best, it looks like there are a lot to choose from and consider though, so I'll take my time. Thank you, anon.

>>8540661
I'm one of the CRT autists and I think composite is perfectly fine and is more nostalgic than component for me so picture quality takes a back seat. I will say that none of these handhelds have good composite out, I'm used to using an pi 3 and the composite from that is good as long as you have the right cable.

>>8540167
Other way around. The RP2+ has slightly bigger buttons so the painted ones were too big for the holes. I think it's only a problem if the paint layer is too thick, so once again it's a quality control issue. Good ol' China.

If you buy from Anbernic's official store on eBay and need to return, do they ask you to ship to an US warehouse or to China?

>>8540894
I would be surprised if they respond to a return request at all desu, not that I’ve tried. I’m guessing if they do let you return you’ll probably have to send it to China

>>8540043
I’ve checked all options and they seem to be fine, same config I have going for other systems. It’s really bizarre

>>8540932
This is eBay though, not lawless Aliexpress
They have an official account there that ships from an US warehouse. Many other chinese sellers do as well, but the particularly scummy ones ask you to return the item to China (buyer pays shipping) even though the account says they're located in the US.

What's the most comfortable one to hold out of these retro handhelds for someone with big hands and fingers? A lot of them look like they have small buttons and/or have everything very cramped together, and are just small overall.

How's the D-Pad on the Powkiddy RGB10 Max 2?
I'm sick of the Anbernic RG351v d-pad being so shit with diagonals. I've fucked up too many times in games like Metal Gear Solid for Gameboy Color thanks to that.

>>8540894
The problem with buying them on eBay is that you pay ~25% more for them that way. These devices are only worth it due to their competitive pricing and paying the eBay premium destroys the value in the case as far as I’m concerned.

>>8540954
This one >>8540959

>>8540951
>This is eBay though, not lawless Aliexpress
Good point. I guess just give it a shot and see what they say

So, what's the worst handheld on the market? Any idea?

>>8540412
Nether am I, but still how's your mother?

It has come to my attention that people only come into a thread if it has activity. Suggesting that a lot of newfags are in this board atm. You need to look at the creation date and keep the threads your interested in visible, instead of letting the algo tell you which thread is popular at the moment.

>>8525991
I got a retroid pocket 2, for 100 bucks you get a nice way of playing gen 1 to 5 games .
However, retroid OS is a big fat hunk of shit and dreamcast emulation is shit too.

>>8539494
In case anyone has this problem too, I fixed it by just switching which emulator (or core? whatever the fuck) I use to run GBC. Is there a setting in 351elec/retroarch I can use to make GBC run on a particular core by default? Right now I have to do it manually

>>8544549
Yeah, go into the system settings while inside a system folder (so, while looking at the game list), and press either select or start I think. It's the same as pressing start on the main menu, except the system related settings only affect the system you're currently viewing. There should be a setting there for the default emulator, among other things like shaders, aspect ratio, etc.

>>8544594
Thanks bro

I'll buy a retro handheld when they come out with one that can play Dreamcast and Gamecube games smoothly and without issue

PS2 would be nice too, but considering the current state of PS2 emulation I'm not holding my breath

>>8544724
That'll take a while, gamecube still has a few issues on your average PC. Shit, if something PS2 emulation got at least quite a bit better recently now they use AVX2 and vulkan.

Suppose I want to play mostly GBA and SNES games, which handheld would you recommend? I've seen the doc, yet which device would you recommend from personal experience?

>>8545539
Get a Powkiddy V90. I have one and mainly use it for that.

The rg351mp costs me 185€ in my country..
Now i found one for 150€ 2nd hand by a guy near me
And another guy with the retroid pocket 2+ for 110€ 2nd hand

Which one should i get ?

>>8545676
In terms of value that RP2+ is easily the winner, just depends if it really is a 2+ and if the form factor/android is an issue. I would not buy an RG351MP at that price.

>>8545539
The PowKiddy Q90 or V90 is good for GBA but struggles with SNES, however it's really fucking cheap.

>>8545007
Is the primary limitation for GameCube a software/emulation thing or is it a hardware thing? I can’t imagine those consoles are all that demanding in terms of specs

>Inerested in a RP2+ or similar handheld
>Know it'll play the vast majority of games that interest me
>The one game I have no idea about (and would probably sink thousands of hours into)is tested by literally nobody
Bros what do

>>8546776
dolphin runs like a dream but only if the hardware is decent. for ideal portable performance it'll probably need a steam deck or equivalent

>>8546812
What game is it? You could probably guess based on how well it emulates on other stuff.

>>8546831
NFL Street 2 either for the GBC or PS2. And because I fully expect both of those to run like dogshit, NFL Street 2 unleased for the PSP is a compromise I'm willing to make

>>8525991
For the batteries in these devices would it be better to charge often so the battery never goes too low? Is it good to do a full cycle charge periodically?

>>8546812
Mine won’t come in for at least a few weeks but I’ll test it for you as soon as I get it. Or maybe an anon here who already has one can test it.

>>8546832
You might be good on both of those. Ps2 is a no go but ive had great results with both psp and gamecube.

>>8546832
I have an RP2+, I'll give it a whirl for you tomorrow when I can find the ROMs.

>>8544146
Well guess what? You can upgrade it man.

>>8545539
What screen size and ratio are you after? Have you considered looking at the other specs? Like battery? Do you play anything after SNES? Because sometimes it can be a savings thing to have more capability under the same device. Even if it is under used. Later it could be by someone else when sold or passed on.

>>8546850
Don't know about 'full cycle charge periodically'.
But it is electronics etiquette to keep phone batteries between 20 and 80 % for longevity.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8spIsifAHc

I think it will take a while until we can have an affordable handheld that can do gamecube, clearly.

>I would not buy an RG351MP at that price.
Damn what price do you guys buy it for ?
It costs me 185ish brand new, eu taxes i guess..
For me both devices look cool but iam unsure about the right analogue stick on the 2+ (will i use it often !??)
The 2+ has better specs apparently but then again it's android. One anon said he uses the sleepmode for faster access than booting up.
There's no difference for me between 110€ or 150€ i'd br happy to get it shipped to me within 2 days from both sellers from my country.

So let's say you guys have the opportunity to get either of these 2 devices used for the same price shipped within your country. Which one would it be ?

>>8547526
Honestly if you're willing to pay 150€, forget the RG351MP altogether and go for either the RP2+ for better emulation (to a point) or a powkiddy RGB10 max 2 for something comfortable with a nice screen.

>>8547526
Same price, I'd go with the RP2+.

>>8547478
These are Wii.

>>8547614
Generally speaking it's more of a game thing than a platform thing. Some wii games run better than some gamecube ones. That generational line is fairly blurred despite the hardware, and dolphin devs made it clear.

i want more feedback on saturn emulation on rp2+ please

>>8547478
Nah, this year we'll get one.

Getting micro stutters on SNES ever since upgrading to the latest 351elec on my 351v, it's fucking annoying.

>>8547119
>>8546925
based and also based

>>8539170
Why don't you just get a RG351MP instead? It's the V but in a different form factor (same IPS and 4:3 aspect ratio)
-wifi
+metal case
+extra thumb stick

>>8539186
Hacked vita will be worse at emulating the other systems (neogeo, snes, etc). Really a hacked vita is in the same box as a hacked 3ds, it will be good for PSP and PS1 games. Just like a hacked 3ds is good for DS and 3DS games.

>>8547856
Honestly arkos dev's autism is great for performance

>>8525991
This isn’t exactly related to the thread topic but I’ve been searching for good games to play for the more obscure systems compatible with 351elec. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated

>>8548112
Nah, you already have hundreds of games that you’re never going to play. Start there.

>>8548273
Fair enough lul

>>8548028
I was considering that but it's too small and the position of the D-Pad and analog stick will still give me thumb pains . I have my sight on the Powkiyddy RGB10 Max 2 just for comfort alone.

>>8548035
I could swear I was able to play Metal Slug 3 just fine on my Vita and even the PSP with the right emulator. Hell, it ran even better than the official Metal Slug Anthology on PSP.
I'll give you the SNES tho, tho it runs at 59.9 and technically "perfectly", when running the same game at the same time in a 3DS I can notice the music in the Vita plays sliiiiightly slower.

I really should've followed my dreams. It would've made me fluent in Japanese, English, and Spanish. Goddammit Misawa why did you have to die?

Just did a fresh installation of ArkOS
The latest image downloadable on their site is from Sept. 2021 but the actual latest update is from this month, isn't it? How do I get that? already set up my WiFi, but whenever I try to update from within the system it just gives me a "there was an error downloading the package" on the screen after it makes me type "OK" to go on.

>>8549628
>Goddammit Misawa why did you have to die?
Whonow?

>>8549059
Tell me how your hands or left thumb feel after a while.

>>8549795
actually fine i've never had a problem with this form factor even after playing for a few hours

>>8549790
One of the GOATs. my goal was to wrestle in Mexico and Japan and get good enough to face him, but he died in the ring when I was training in New Jersey and I lost all motivation. this was back in 2009

>>8549801
I envy you. M<ybe I'm the one holding it wrong? Would it be too much to ask for a photo of how you hold it?

>>8549805

>>8549806
do zoomers really?

>>8549806
can't be bothered to take a picture of it right now but this is pretty much how i hold it, very "relaxed", definitely not tightly gripping the device

>>8549819
I mean yeah the D-Pad is fine I guess but analog is something else.
Are you having problems with the diagonals of the D-Pad? In games like Metal Gear Solid on Gameboy I frequently fuck up sticking to walls thanks to the diagonals.

>>8549819
aka not like this

>>8549823
i can't speak on that because i don't really play any games on this device where i would want to use the analog
i played through the spyro trilogy on it but even for that i used the d-pad because that's how i always played it, even after had access to a dualshock
as for the diagonals, i played a bunch of sf2 on this thing which i guess is a good "dpad tester" and i didn't have any issues really

>>8549823
>In games like Metal Gear Solid on Gameboy I frequently fuck up sticking to walls thanks to the diagonals.
Just wondering, have you tried it on a real Gameboy?

>>8546832
Just tested both of these on the RP2+. No, not playable at all, sorry. GameCube could get to about 25 FPS, PS2 barely got past 15 (out of 60, just to be clear). And that's with all hacks on. Tried the usual tricks (underclocking the emulation, over locking the emulation, changing res etc.) but it's so far off playable I would call these hopeless even if you're Settings Jesus.

>>8548512
>Protip
Well why don't you grab a wire coat hanger and wrap it around the device and attach it to your neck/shoulders. Use your index fingers to jab at the device from there. Also helps with neck strain from looking down at your device.

>>8547710
What games are you interested in? I'll try them out if you're nice.

Anyone order the Odin? I’m thinking about picking one up, the price seems very reasonable and I really like the form factor.

All I want is an RG300 that can run everything up to SNES without issues, the size and vertical shape of it is my absolute favorite. I have a hacked Wii for PS1, N64, and GC and prefer to play those on my TV anyways. The RG351V is too big for my pockets and I just want to have a handheld to bust out some GBA or SNES games at work in break.

Any recommendations or am I shit outta luck?

let's say Three dirty dwarves, Bulk slash and Panzer dragoon zwei.
or any other games if you want, with some in 3D. I'm interested in how it sounds because on some youtube tests there's no sound at all. also interested in the format of your games.

The RG280V sounds about right, it's a bit too small for me personally.

>>8550739
Ahhh, that would be perfect, but I really don't like the location of the shoulder buttons. Do you have an opinion on the Miyoo Mini?

>>8550792
Have you checked the doc list? Also that RG280V has a better screen than the Miyoo. Had you considered the Powkiddy RGB20 or the Pocket Go S30 [I know it might not be the form you were after, but it has more screen.]

Bear in mind. If screen size is a concern, you will be holding this close to your eye.

Gkd mini?

>rg351mp arrives in mail
>decide to take out SD card to change to cfw
>clicking it shoots it out of the slot and I almost lose where it goes after it reflects off walls
Are they all like this or is it just a manufacturing bug?

Thanks for the info. These all have their advantages but there's little things here and there that really prevent me from being happy with them. I'll have to do some more looking or I'll just have to find a way to be happy with a horizontal form handheld.

I cleaned my old 3ds, I'm not having a good time with it because of how tiny the buttons are and how anti-ergonomic it is generally. It's like it's made for small hands and I'm no gorilla myself. I don't recall how I was able to play so many games on the DS Lite, maybe these were bigger.

Anyways, are the usual recommendations here better in that aspect? I want to have something that's a little bit similar to my SN30 Pro+ except for the sticks, but I think that might be too much to ask. I just want something better than these annoying tiny snap dome switches that make my thumbs numb really fast (along with the rest of my left hand because the goddamn d-pad is in the lower corner). Such a shame, having a console that can do GBA perfectly and this happens.

That's the raw power of chink engineering.

>>8550937
it's like that, gotta be careful

>>8550693
Sounds like this.

>battery of the ezflash is dead so you can't save
Just use a reset patch, dummy

>>8551286
i hadn't used this thing in so long that i forgot that that's an option

How can they sell stuff like this? Can't Nintendo/Sega/Sony sue them?

>>8551359
It's China, so they can't

So is there a way to make the handheld/gameboy shader look good on Anbernic Devices? Or is the screen just too small

>>8551384
Not sure what you mean by "too small", it's still bigger than a gameboy screen

I use LCD3X+special 3 color palette and it looks good to me

>>8551391
I'm talking about this particular shader preset

>>8550123
Damn. Did you try the PSP game, or was that fucked as well?

why does it say the "Deliveries start after 35 calendar days" for the rp2+?

>>8551432
because it takes them 35 days to bring your package to the post office

>>8551378
But can't they at least block imports?

>>8532547

Unironically, I find the 351V the most comfortable to play in bed. I just rest it on my chest. The vertical form factor really comes in handy, here.

>>8551432
China Time. No but really, it's because they manually assemble every unit shipped out.

Miyoo Mini?

waiting for my retroid pocket 2+
i have a 64gig card will that be enough ?
and while waiting, where can i download and prepare roms plzz

>>8551561
>i have a 64gig card will that be enough ?
Buy new one. 256 or 512, for the consoles that RP2+ can emulate, 64 is very lacking..

>>8551760
Not like it can handle PS2 and Gamecube fine. Hell, nowadays you can save a lot of space by converting shit to CHD.

>>8551410
Dang I didn't even grow up with a DMG (first was a Color) and I want this. Looks good.

>>8551410
Is running RetroArch, so as long as you can get the shader into the SD card, I'm sure it'll work the same as any other platform.

How comfortable is the RG35|MP compared to the V? Does your thumb hurt with the D-Pad or Analog?
