/vr/ - Retro Games

>>9169303
The controller looks like that.

>>9169303
I've been looking forward to the RP3 for a while, especially the updated design. However the fact that it only has the same specs as the RP2+ means I'll be waiting for the next revision before pulling the trigger on a purchase.

>>9169573
Right, it doesn't look like much of an upgrade in terms of CPU/GPU from RP2+ to 3. There are rumors that Android got a speed improvement of up to 30% because it went from 9 to 11.
I doubt that very much.

Pic is my old LDK which i sold recently.

You'd have to spend a bit more money but the odin pro could be your all in one handheld

>>9169817
Post time stamped Odin Pro.

>>9169824
I'm not bragging about it I had to wait 5 months to get it kek but it's a fucking beast some ps2 games stutter a bit but for the price you won't find a stronger handheld

>>9169935
Noice.

>>9169935
>for the price you won't find a stronger handheld

How easy is emulation to get installed and running on the Steam Deck?

>>9169994
Really easy; RetroArch is available on Steam itself.

PCSX2, Dolphin, and anything standalone are easily installed from the software center (Discover) in Desktop Mode.

>>9170003
I love Valve so much bros.
All other handhelds (including clone consoles) having all their good shit locked away from the consumer's hands is the standard, but Valve doesn't give a fuck.

>>9170029
Valve are confident enough to run an open system because they know everyone will just use Steam given the choice anyway.

how retarded do you have to be to not put start/select/menu on the front of the device...

>>9170046
Chinese level retarded

>>9169817
I wish there was something as powerful as the Odin that could reliably play past past the typical Dreamcast/Gamecube/PSP wall, but was a bit smaller so you could actually carry it around in your pocket.

I installed EmuDeck and those portable GTAs on PSP are stuttering despite barely using any GPU/CPU power. How do I fix that?

>>9169817
shitty zoomer analog layout though

>>9170149
>zoomer
That layout is older than you.

>>9169303
Shitroid garbage 3

I ordered an Analogue Pocket months ago and I'm starting to have buyer's remorse looking at reviews months after. Will I regret it if I just cancel the order and use the money to get myself something like a RG351V instead ?
I'm starting to think the super-high pixel density screen may not be worth it, especially since I'll probably burn through my actual cartridge library pretty fast since I know most of those games very well.

>>9169303
id rather get an Odin than RP3
its basically just an RP2+ with shittier button placement nicer analogs and a bigger screen

>>9170173
t. First console was an Xbox

>>9170275
It supports roms from an SD card now and more cores (like neo-geo) are being supported also.

>>9170283
My first console was a NES.
Anyone who's first console was an Xbox is too old to be a zoomer.
You played yourself. Cope.

I finally got my 351MP configured how I like it but how do I make the game list look nicer? In videos people have all kinds of different UIs for selecting games but in AmberElec it's like 3/5th of the screen is my game list with most of the titles cut off and a big ugly empty space on the right.

>>9169303
>>9170324
You have to scrape the game's metadata so you have the descriptions, pictures, videos, etc.

>>9170319
Anyone born after the 5th generation of consoles will eternally be a zoomer and not retro, despite what /vr/ says about it.

>>9170328
>damage control
Embarrassing.

>>9170325
Guess I'll have to learn how to do that but even the basic UI and font size are different in mine and the pic I posted. Do I just have to dig deeper into the settings?

>>9170340
I use ArkOS, so I wouldn't know.

>>9169935
How is the battery?

>>9170340
Yeah, it's all in the settings menu when you press Start.
You can grab new themes from Updates & Downloads > Themes
Font size is under UI settings > Theme Configuration

Redpill me on Odin, how much better is it than Retroid? I'd rather spend more for something that won't be obsolete in a year or two.

>>9170282
>>9170695
Last price for Odin Pro was 400€ and it's sold out.
Retroid Pocket 3 is 171€ and ships end of August.
I really don't see the Odin as an alternative.

>>9170695
>I'd rather spend more for something that won't be obsolete in a year or two.

thats impossible with the rate at which they release these things.

It's like the fags saying to buy a Steam Deck. Waiting time is what, 7 month now? And it costs a fortune.
Fuck that, i'd rather buy something available now for a lot less. I don't even have interest in PS2 to be honest.

>>9170429
I've only been playing it for an hour at a time and it does drain a bit emu ps2 but it's not terrible

>>9170695
if you need ps2 emulation get the Odin, if not the rp2 plus is fine even a lot of gc plays on it albeit not perfectly

>>9170762
>And it costs a fortune.
Steam Deck is not sold in countries where 400-600$ is considered a fortune, so your comment is pointless

>>9170820
Hmm, somehow i was remembering they started at 800€.
I just looked into it and have preordered the cheapest version for 420€. For this reservation i had to pay 4€, and i may actually order one in 4th quarter 2022, hopefully before christmas.
I ordered the Valve index a year or so ago and was very pleased, so i guess it's indeed worth the waiting.
Canceling the Retroid Pocket 3 now.

>>9170762
>It's like the fags saying to buy a Steam Deck. Waiting time is what, 7 month now? And it costs a fortune.
It's because Steam and Valve are a cult just like Apple is. Dumbing down software and technology for the lowest common denominator while selling branded hardware at a premium. The only real difference is that when it comes to Apple products you still end up with a bit more to your name than you do with the game rental service that Steam has created. Now watch as I get replies from people who will claim that Valve has done no wrong in monopolizing the market, and that it's all for the best that physical games and installation media are gone because they are a clutter that take too much work to use.

>>9170914
>and that it's all for the best that physical games and installation media are gone
Oh look, another mentally ill hoarder troon who thinks his useless "physical" media is worth something.

>>9170931
>Oh look, another mentally ill hoarder troon who thinks his useless "physical" media is worth something.
Enjoy being locked out of your games and streaming services when the internet goes out, or if Valve decides you have not spent enough in the store, or if someone accuses you of breaking the terms of service.

>>9170813
What are the chances RP3 does PS2 well?

>>9169303
Why'd you spend 70€ more for a RP2+ with a different control scheme if you were gonna plug in another controller anyway?

>>9171016
It's basically the same hardware as the RP2+, so it won't really be any better.

>>9171041
wat

Can someone give me a non-meme response about why someone should spend money on one of these instead of getting a controller attachment for a phone? I am interested but this question is the nail in the coffin bc I only see "kill yourself" responses which is kind of indicative that there is in fact zero reason.

>>9171139
Android is a shit OS for gaming
Clips where you use an external controller are unwieldy and have input lag
Controller attachments are extremely hit and miss and often do shit like cover ports so you can't play while charging or using wired earbuds.
Modern phones are all ultra wide displays leaving you with huge black spaces while playing older games that don't have widescreen hacks
Unless you have quite literally nothing going on, a phone is a method of communication. People use them for texting, emailing and calling.

You people ask this every god damn thread and get the same legitimate answers

>>9171139
Controller lag, if you can get a nice wired controller that isn't a problem.
Not sure if there are controllers that clip to the phone and are not bluetooth.

>>9171160
Well, install Retroarch and call it a day, it really is good enough. Not sure what else you would need.

>>9171139
okay
>1: having a dedicated device with hard-wired buttons is more convenient and frees up your phone
>2: they are typically more ergonomic
>3: many (e.g. RP2+) have screens with aspect ratios designed for older games whereas phones do not
>4: because it's cool
>5: no constant removing or attaching every time you just want to use your fucking phone
>6: less input lag
>6: you look like a faggot if you use a cuck clamp on your phone, even if you're the only one who sees it. you know it's true.
there you go. plenty of good reasons. if you want to use a cuck clamp nobody is going to stop you but having a dedicated handheld is cooler and you know it.

I don't understand why one would go for the Odin Pro in Yurop, it's 400€, the Steam Deck is 420€.
Is there something i miss?

>>9170946
>Enjoy being locked out of your games and streaming services when the internet goes out
Enjoy losing all your game collection if your house gets robbed, damaged by a fire, flood, earthquake, or any other similar scenario, while my digital collection on a home NAS system with a RAID-0 array can be recovered from a literal nuclear attack, cost a tiny fraction compared to your faggot toys, and doesn't make my house look like a manchild deranged troon lives in it.

>>9171176
>you look like a faggot if you use a cuck clamp on your phone, even if you're the only one who sees it. you know it's true.
Literally nothing makes you look more like a faggot than playing on these shitty chink handhelds that look they were made for 6 year olds with down syndrome.

>>9171242
t. cuck clamp afficianado
>inb4 actually, it is you who are gay !!1
nope.

>>9171234

You sure seem to care a lot what or how you look to others. Sounds a bit stressful to be quite honest famalam.

>>9171249
Hit too close to home didn't I?

>>9171246
A literal AIDS infested manwhore sucking off truckers at truckstop gloryholes for crack money is not 10% as gay as anyone playing on one of these Chinkoid Fagtro 2 or whatever they're called.

>>9169309
I have that controller. How can I protect the thumbstick necks??? I dont mean rings that would prevent me from moving the sticks too much, I mean protection from use.

>>9171274
>Y-you're mentally ill, while I'm a sane person who just happens to play games on horrible 3 inch chinese gameboy ripoffs because it reminds him of being 5 years old when he wasn't allowed to play games on proper gaming systems, and also the last time in his life he was happy
Cope harder fag. Playing games on any of these shitty baby devices is the equivalent of watching movies on your phone or listening to music on your phone speakers. Unless you're a street shitting pajeet with no access to any other electronic devices, you have no excuses for using these shitty gimmick toys.

>>9171262
>addresses the inb4
lmao you lose and literally just admitted to being gay
>Chinkoid Fagtro 2
the proper name is Basedoid Pocket Double Plus(+) but it doesnt surprise me that your mind gravitated toward homosexual asians since we have already established that you are, in fact, deeply gay.

>>9171139
I'm riddled with ADHD and having an actual dedicated device for playing games on stops me getting distracted every 0.25 seconds

A shame that the Ayaneo Air was shit in almost everything except OLED screen. Was hoping for it considering Valve will never ship Steam Deck to my shithole.

>>9171307
I have it in my hand now, not sure what you think the problem is.
Why would you need to protect that which can't be seen anyway unless you specifically look for it?
Anyway, it's a very nice and comfy controller, just tested it on a Samsung S7 tablet. You have to get a USB-A to C adapter, obviously, and press B while connecting it.

>>9170762
steam deck controls look shit too

>>9171402
Looking at the real price (and not the 800€ i had in my head for some reason) and considering the pleasent experience with the Valve Index, i decided to go for a Steam handheld.
I'm sure i'll manage the controller situation.
What exactly is shit about them?

>>9171358
Nice collection m8 >:^)

>>9171016
some games like tales of the abyss, silent hill 2 and even max payne already run decent on rp2+ but for the most part it won't do it well

>>9171438
dpad and buttons cramed into the top edge of the device. looks uncomfortable as fuck

>>9171041
>70€ more
The RP2+ is like 140€ to ship to Germany.

>tfw put doom on my RP2+ but too fucking retarded to figure out how to bring up the menu after starting a game

>stuck between Nintendo's shitty online sevice having most of what I want to emulate, having to pay a sub for it as well as buy the odd things it doesn't have (Megaman collections, CV collections and Sonic Origins) and being absolutely in love with the Switch OLED's screen and how basic and quick the OS is
Fucking hate this shit. I know if I pick up a 353p, P60 or Retroid Pocket 3 when they come out I'm still going to be drawn to the Switch for the screen. The Switch without hacking is lacking a ton of freedom though.

>>9171402
No. If there's one good thing I have to say about the Deck, it's that the controls are incredible.

>>9171592
171€ is for the 3GB variant, it would be 151€ for the 2GB variant.
Why buys the 2+ when you can get the 3 for 20€ more?

>>9171615
People that want a 4:3 screen really bad. The RP2+ is also a little lighter and smaller in terms of width. The reality is the RP3 is going for a banging price, if they called it the RP2W or something it wouldn't be getting any shit.

Other than some mega man games i wanted to try i really don’t know what to play on my miyoo mini

>>9169303
I am disappointed. Maybe the RP3+ will be better.
I hold out for a mid range clamshell with a 7" screen about the power level for PS2. But a more affordable one from retroid would be tempting.

>>9171646
>clamshell with a 7" screen
A netbook.

>>9170614
Can I not just add themes via an SD card adapter on my computer? Am I gonna be forced to use that wifi dongle?
And how does scraping work? Please be patient I have autism.

>>9171668
I haven't tried to add them that way, but you can just drop them into the emulationstation/themes folder.
Scraping usually uses uses wifi on the device with a Screen scraper account.
https://amberelec.org/guides/getting-started#scraping
You can build a library in Launchbox instead and copy that over if you'd rather not use the built-in scraping though.
https://amberelec.org/guides/getting-to-know-amberelec#launchbox-importer
Might be easier to just connect the dongle for a little bit and do all this from AmberELEC, it's not like you have to leave it connected or anything.

>>9171724
Thanks. I guess I need to dive deeper on all the documentation. It's hard to find time but it's kinda sparking the part of me that used to love this shit.

>>9171635
Load it up with puzzle games and arcade games you can play in short bursts.
>>9171726
Their documentation is surprisingly good. Definitely worth looking through if you've got questions.

>>9170720
Not all of them.

16:9 is vastly Inferior for emulation, and if you can't understand that, you're a fucking idiot.

Every game you'll emulate on this is 4:3 or even more narrow, except a couple arcade games and psp.

If you want portable psp, just get a psp you fucking idiot.

Playing every nes, snes, n64, gamecube, Gameboy, master system, genesis, saturn, dreamcast, ps1, ps2, and TurboGrafx game with black bars, just so psp want have black bars, is really really really really fucking stupid and gay.

>>9170695
No matter what you buy, it will be obsolete in 2 years. That's how technology works you idiot. However, if it plays a certain game today, it will still play it tomorrow.

>>9171160
Retroid uses Android you idiot.
And actually, android is pretty fucking great for emulation.

>>9171139
Phones get hot as hell because the tech is sandwiched and it can't breath because the phone is filled with glue to make it water proof. These devices can breath and don't have the heating issues. You can replace the batteries really easy, some of them are just rc car batteries off Amazon. If you kill the battery on your flagship phone replacing it is a major fucking pain in the ass. That said I'll still use my phone for DS, there's no better option. Better than a real DS.

>>9170083
If they made a clamshell version it probably would.

I bought this.
What a ripoff.
cant even emulate nes accurate. forget about snes.
never again.

>>9171994
Put onion on it.

>get RP2+ in the mail
>install yaba sanshiro as one of the preloads because it's the first saturn emu I see
>"Yaba Sanshiro 2 won't work unless you enable Google Play services"
what the fuck

>>9171352
you obviously dont really play videogames do you? Those "necks" deteriorate almost at the same rate as the top without protective caps. Right now Im using Scotch tape to protect the "necks" but even the tape seems to deteriorate too.

>>9171980

>>9171139
My phone is shit
I don’t want to kill phone’s battery
Phone’s screen is no good for 4.3 games

I think it’s worth to have a dedicated machine for games.

>>9171214
Steam deck too big.

>>9171139
>Can someone give me a non-meme response about why someone should spend money on one of these instead of getting a controller attachment for a phone?
if you have a phone with a snapdragon 888 or newer, then you really shouldn't. but if your phone is older, and small, and you just want a separate dedicated device that does just games, then it's nice to have options.

>>9171331
Why? What was wrong with it?

>>9172159
>Those "necks" deteriorate almost at the same rate as the top without protective caps
The oldest controller I have that still works is the old Logitech Wingman Rumblepad bought somewhere in early 2001, that has seen more use to this day than some zoomers posting here are alive, and even that has no serious damage to the stick necks. I have never seen any controller with analog sticks get damaged to the point it's not usable any more in the last 30 years, even after 10000+ hours of use and being thrown around by kids. Putting tape on your sticks to protect them is the equivalent of putting tinfoil hats on your head.

Any chance the miyoo mini will get restocked? I really want the blue version but if they stop production for that crappy horizontal version then i guess it's time to look for something else

>>9171980
Autism janny faggot

>>9171328
This.
It's why I play on my wii/vita these days.

>>9172246
I doubt they would just suddenly stop production considering how popular it's been. That's like throwing money away.

>>9171980

Just use your phone.

>>9171139
There is no legitimate reason. That's why all the replies to you are demonstrably false bullshit, like "clamp controllers have lag" (no they don't they're wired), "you can't charge while playing" (all the good controllers have pass-thru charge ports), "the phone overheats" (false as fuck), "it shortens the battery life" (using your phone for ANYTHING means you're wearing out the battery, and anyway you should always keep the charge between 20% and 85% to minimise this, regardless if you're playing games on it), "wide screens are shit for 4:3 games" (any dedicated handheld with hardware worth anything also has a wide screen)

>>9172505
If you emulate anything 3d the phone gets hot and the battery don't last long at all. Don't fucking lie.

>>9172509
I don't know what shitheap of a phone you have but mine doesn't get hot even when emulating Wind Waker. It does get hot playing Genshin Impact, but GameCube emulation doesn't even make it break a sweat.

>>9172524
My last phone was a Samsung galaxy and my current phone is a lg v60. Same for both.

If you have some giant thick plastic case on your phone, you might be oblivious to how hot it is actually getting. Play it without your fat retard Fischer price otterbox case, and go phone naked like a grown ass adult. Then see how hot that fucker actually gets.

>>9172580
You're being a facetious little cunt and not saying which Samsung Galaxy you had, but since your current phone is a piece of shit LG, the Galaxy must have been something even worse. Any flagship phone made in the past 2 years won't get hot while emulating up to DC/GC. I never said you should use a phone from 2014 to emulate PS2.

>>9172585
It was a galaxy note 4. And my v60 is a fucking beast and the best phone on the market right now. I have a 1tb microsd card, an hd audio DAC that let's me use my bad ass sennheiser 600s, a dual screen case, 5G, etc...

My friend at work has last years galaxy note and it got hot when we played soul Calibur 2 with 2 8bitdo controllers.

Samsung turned into a kike brand for braindead faggots who don't mind getting butt Fucked out of essential features like removable storage.

>>9169935
I as well had to wait for 5 months for these chinks to send my odin pro. I was sorta pissed when I saw them already shilling the ayn loki when the didn't even ship the odin hanshelds to their backers. The odin pro's ps2 emulation is amazing. The only pain in the ass is controller setup and getting rumble to work both on-board odin controller and via wireless controller docked. 3rd party docks work for the handheld.

>>9172696
>my v60 is a fucking beast and the best phone on the market right now
lmfao you are delusional

>>9172715
I told you why i like it. Your phone doesn't have what's important to me. I have a 1tb microsd and hd audio port for my headphones. You're a basic bitch goysumer that might as well have bought a fucking crapple phone at this point.

And again, my friends gay ass Samsung perfomed no better than my note 4.

>>9172718
The Galaxy S2 Ultra has double the performance of your shit ass LG and literally an order of magnitude more than a fucking Note 4. And performance matters for what makes the phone go hot and what doesn't.

>>9172738
>Gets hot playing KINOimpact and probably a magnitude of other chadchas

I'm just baffled that wasted everyone's time blabbering on about phones, only to eventually reveal your comparing a fucking $2000 phone with no storage to a fucking $100 chink toy. You're a fucking retard and thats why you'll always live check to check like the rest of hyper consuming meat machines. I'm not salty, I'm disgusted.

Any recommendation for a larger phone, like a Poco F3 that is wired and has charge pass-thru?

>>9173442
Razer Kishi or GameSir X2. Kishi has higher quality sticks and analog triggers, it’s better for Gen 5+ games. The GameSir has a fantastic dpad and face buttons, but the sticks are smaller and not as good, and the triggers, while great, are digital. So it’s better for 16-bit games and such.

I also have large lower arms, which is a problem, you can't just buy generic shirts if you ever want to fold your sleeves up. Think Popeye, but awkward.
Also, my arms are bit long and i have copious amounts of hair on my back, which makes me look like a Neanderthal or Gorilla.

The retroid line is really looking better and better and at a nice price. My only issue is worries about the order wait times.

>>9172701
ayn has gotten off their lazy asses and started shipping them so for bros who buy them now they probably won't have to wait as long as us; I got mine off indiegogo but I think you should get it from their offical site now. I also heard Taki Udon is in charge of both ayn as well as retroid but I don't know how true that is

>>9173684

>>9174335
Kinda feels bad seeing Anbernic fuck up like this seeing as I got into handhelds with a 351p, but I sure feel good about getting a Steam Deck right now

>>9174374
I'd kill for a Steam Deck. I'm an Ausfag though and it's either wait until Valve remembers we exist or pay the scalpers which I'm not prepared to do.

>>9174335
shouldve bought a basedoid double plus

>>9174335
The RP3 looks excellent though, you just have to view it as the RP2W that it is. Also while Anbernic is still basically shitting the bed, I'm glad they're moving back to something not hideous with the 505 or w/e. My main concern is that it's still going to be too expensive and a bit too big.

>>9174415

Then it loses out simply be retailing for more than $99.

>>9174556
It's still dirt cheap for the power relative to the competition and has a "better" screen for those who want it. The the d-pad on top is also way better

>>9174415
>The RP3 looks excellent though

>>9174335
>>9174374
What's wrong with Anbernic? The RG353P is fantastic.

>>9174835
the placement of those buttons is my only real issue with the RP3. The start/select at the top is dumb but also not a big deal, it's the ones on the sides that get me.

>>9174848

The 2 is better because 4:3

Seeing as it's competing with its predecessor, which has the same specs for less, no it's not.

>>9175039

You're just fucking dumb for wanting black bars on the side of your device for 90% of games for no reason. It's fucking retarded. The device has the same fucking specs, that extra ram ain't gonna do shit. Why the fuck would i want the one with black bars you got damn idiot. If anything it wastes battery.

>>9175246
The extra ram does come handy when your software needs Play store.
Just scale your content. There, no black bars anymore.

>>9174335
Just use older models. The rg351 line is still perfectly fine. Or get something more powerful for more money.
People don't remember the flow of idiot psp inspired devices coming out of China and the drought of good games for years, until the shitty RS97 came out.

>>9175607
Man that sends me back. I kinda love how over the years "Chinese Handheld" has slowly shifted from those Pop Station things Ashens reviewed to kinda janky homebrew handhelds to just saying fuck it and making emulation handhelds.

Any way to fuck around with JELOS to add options present in AmberELEC or should I switch back? The only advantage I see so far from JELOS is that it takes maybe 3 to 4 seconds less to boot into the main menu. The rest seems like AmberELEC with less features. I'm here trying to disable all sorts of animations and I can't disable the carousel type of animation on the default theme (which is the theme I like anyways). AmberELEC had that setting somewhere. I'm not sure if it's an EmuELEC feature that's easy to add or it's baked in so hard I would have to build it again.

>>9174841
The Win600. The RG353P is pretty good, but people were looking forward to an x86 handheld to compete against the other ones that are coming out. It pisses me off that I bought the RG351P just a few months ago instead of waiting for the 353 as I'm having a bit of a problem with ergonomics and at least the 353 looks a bit comfier to hold. But the RG351P was 80€ with shipping included and the 353 costs almost double. can't complain.

>>9173442
>no they don't they're wired
Excuse me, but what is this horseshit? My 351p has less input lag than both my 8bitdo and my xbone controllers connected wired to my phone. Wired doesn't mean lagless.

>>9172495
Tried this, my phone can only reliably play up to PS1 at full speed. Arcade and Dreamcast are a no-go. I tried FB Neo and Flycast.

Steam Deck is the best "handheld" for emulating. It's just too damn big to carry around.

>>9172495
Tried this, my Nokia 6.1 can only reliably play up to PS1 at full speed. Arcade and Dreamcast are a no-go. I tried FB Neo and Flycast.

Glad I have a Steam Deck now. Too big to carry around, but it emulates up to PS2 quite well.

>>9175704
Get a non shit phone, I can play GC/DC just fine

>>9174841
They keep half-assing their products, the 552 was a "decent" device who puzzled a lot of people since it was their follow up to the 351 line, and while the screen was good nobody was looking for a $250 device that can't even do PS2.
The Win600 is a complete joke of a device and the 353 is ok but there isn't much reason to get it over a Retroid Pocket 2+.
They just put out a teaser for their next device and they're still using the same mediocre analog sticks.
Plus there's their shady attitude towards reviewers where they've blacklisted certain people.

>>9175776
Is there a reason to get RP3 over 353 or RP2+?

>>9175928
Hard to say right now, it will depend pretty much entirely on the form factor and that's gonna be hard to judge unless you have it in your hands

>>9175776
Don't like 90% of these things use repurposed switch sticks? (which fwiw are a lot better if you put a silicone grip cap on)

>>9175974
I'm pretty sure that's right, they're like the "bare minimum" sticks, they don't feel good at all.
They were fine for older devices since you'd mostly play with the dpad anyway, but now that they're starting to offer playable PS2 emulation you're going to feel the cheapness
Plus companies like Aya are starting to put hall sensor joysticks in their devices, and sure, those are more premium and more expensive products, but it makes Anbernic look even worse

>>9175974
Yes, the anbernic sticks are exactly the same as the new retroid 3.

>>9175982
I don't actually mind them but then again the last time I owned a portable device with an analogue stick was the PSP. I've beat Quake 2 on my 351MP so maybe my lady hands are good for something here

Picrel is the real reason 4:3 is the superior aspect ratio/I've found the most autistic way to watch Always Sunny

What ever happened to jxd?

>>9174841
RG353P, whilst great, does have its issues.

The d-pad might be a bit sensitive on diagonals, where it definitely wasn't on the RG351MP.
There seem to be persistent issues with sleep mode and brightness levels resetting on each cold boot, I don't think JELOS firmware updates have actually fixed the issue yet despite their claims.

Otherwise, yes it's really great, most comfy handheld in a long while, and actually has just enough power that it can actually do full speed SA-1 SNES games.

>>9176137
It's a surprisingly comfy way to watch vintage 4:3 content.

>>9175974
I honestly hate these sticks. They really only work well for games where you just require 8 directional movement. There's some dumb drifting on them that makes them really fucking terrible for anything else, even after fucking around with deadzones. The way my RG351P works, the center on my left stick is like 15-20% up, and the center on the right one is the same value, but down. Pressing left and right will always either go slightly up or down. Always.

Another Anbernic. China shits handhelds like there is no tomorrow.

>>9176914
>more vertishit

>>9176914
How fucking many of these are they gonna make?

Anyone has the RG300?
I want something in the game boy style, not very expensive (just want it for GBC and GBA)
The miyoo mini is just too small.

I fell for the phone meme and bought a gamepad and pretty much the only thing I enjopy emulating on it are DS games because of the touch screen, for older retro systems it's too wide and for anything above Gamecube it's not powerful enough, most PSP games play fine but I still prefer playing them on a computer.

>>9176937
I have that gamepad, it's surprisingly good. I pretty much just play PS1 and Sega CD games on my phone, and it's great at that.

>>9176959
They briefly did so for the win600 and 353 at the cost of a pigdisgusting shell. Is it so wrong to want a decent shell AND stacked shoulder buttons from anbernic?

>>9176967
I don't think 353P looks that ugly

>>9176978
It would've looked nice if they offered an SFC style shell, but the SNES style shell is good too.
Either way it's the most ergonomic handheld I've used in a while.

>>9173160
>penny pinching fucks
Either your nose is showing or you're the biggest goy. I'm a different anon (surprisingly enough also making 6 figures!) and I wouldn't spend $1500 in a stupid phone, and none of my colleagues, earning similar amounts, own such a nonsensical device.
But then again, maybe that's why we're where we are, and you're proud of wasting money.

>>9178687
Yeah, not much of an improvement over the RG351 series.

But I'm jealous of the 351 community. I feel the RG353P won't have as much community support as the 351. Like there's only one community OS for it compared to AmberELEC/351ELEC(a whole OS named after a device. Nice), ArkOS, JELOS too, Batocera, 351Droid(nice), etc.

I don't know how long it will be supported for.

>>9178691
Give it a few weeks to reach mu shithole country.

>>9178694
Realistically speaking, I think I'll spend a lot of time on Android. But JELOS all the way!

I'm also thinking of trying to treat it like a Pine64 SBC and boot Manjaro on it and see what I can do with it. I'm thinking of trying to learn to port stuff with box86/box64 to play some lightweight linux games. I was also thinking of porting a chromium or Firefox engine to sideload JS games and retro web games. But we'll see. Let me lower my expectations for now.

>>9178694
>not expecting to do a lot of Dreamcast.
I have seen some videos running DC on jelos (I think it was sonic, soulcalibur, shenmue) and they were running alright, what’s the catch?

>>9178715
>I feel the RG353P won't have as much community support as the 351.
It was released two months ago but it seems to be their most popular product already and the guy behind jelos was the creator of 351elec anyway.

>>9178715
>I feel the RG353P won't have as much community support as the 351.
Honestly it'd be good if AmberELEC was available, but JELOS has most of the relevant features anyways. 351droid is honestly not worth using and got abandoned.

>>9178721
A few select games do run alright. I was able to play Rayman 2 on DC at full speed on my RG351P. There are many titles that will run really shitty and some will need an overclock. I imagine that would at least get some more games working at full speed. The one platform you might have a better experience with is PSP, as that one already runs quite a few games just fine on the previous handhelds.

>>9176914
Looks up my alley. The 351V is alright but the bezel is ugly and it could use the 353P internals. Triggers look exactly like the RGB20S.
I might wait another generation before I actually buy one of these types of things since in another year it feels like smooth GC emulation might be pretty viable. This year's $180 phones are basically there now (though they use Snapdragons, which none of these handhelds do), so hopefully in a year and a half that level of performance will trickle down to $150 handhelds.

>>9178705
>still seething days later
Fucking LMAO. Reconsider your life choices.

>>9175727
Yeah, the Nokia 6.1 definitely isn't suited for gaming. Aside from that, it's a good phone. I like the aluminum alloy body.

The RG552 and its consequences have been a disaster for the Anbernic.

>>9178782
I think that's why they're releasing the rg505 to cover it.

I hate their price creep. How long before the rg35XX series is $200+?

>>9178731
As of now, Dreamcast works better than PSP on my rg351mp. I can play what I want on Dreamcast at 480p (NOT 240p) and only see one slight drop in fps here or there on select games. Even Soul Calibur, the benchmark, runs at fullspeed.
As for PSP, there are game that run great, while other run like SHIT. Crisis Core can be played at full speed by messing with settings, things like Jeanne d'Arc run at 2x resolution. Wipeout (either Pure or Pulse) only run with 2x frameskip, which means unplayable, and GoW is shit too.

>>9178705
I don't care what anybody says

I’m going to be bedridden in a week or so due to some dental surgery. Was going to just use my tablet but now I’m thinking I want a hand heald to play games on while I listen to YouTube videos on my tablet and I kind of just want one anyway. What’s a good handheald if I know how to set up RetroArch and have games and save games ready to go. Mostly SNES and PS1 games. Being able to transfer data to and from my computer is important so if I need to use sftp like the raspi or a as card adapter that’s a no go. Ergonomics are also important as I want it to feel good and probably won’t be traveling with it unless I have like a 5 hour flight. Price doesn’t seem to be an issue since most of these things seem to be under 200

Should I get this (Miyoo Mini V2)? I want to play Silent Hill 1 and in general have a very small handheld to carry around, but I’m a retard with tech so idk how to configure it or whatever. I also don’t know if you can put cheats on it because for example, if I’m playing Pokémon Emerald, I might wanna put a Pokémon on my team that isn’t early game, which I can do with my Gameboy and Gameboy player on GameCube already (with a bit of annoyance).

>>9179145
The v2 is great for something like what you're describing, and it should have no problem running Silent Hill 1
In fact I looked it up and here's some gameplay for that very game
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ImGYp0DA7VE
There's also plenty foolproof guides on youtube on how to install custom firmware which will help with performance, and cheats should be easy to get working on CFW

>>9179138
RG351MP. I got mine as my first handheld console in about 10 years and I've absolutely loved the thing the last 2 months or so I've had it. Just install AmberElec and go hog

>>9179174
How does the 3.5 Inch screen work for those games? I feel like that would be too small for anything but GBA games

>>9179151
My computer is broken and I’m getting a new one soon, should I wait until I get my computer so I can do the firmware stuff?

>>9179205
c'mon man, fix your computer before you buy a chinkable.
how else are you going to get into programming?

>>9179190
The RG351MP is actually pretty decent due to its resolution. The RG351P has to deal with shaders (although it's not too bad at all) and it's only perfect for GBA since it's exactly twice the resolution of that particular platform.

>>9179190
I have a grand old time and I never think the screens an issue unless I have to sit with it really far from my face, otherwise shit is really clear and nice looking IMHO

The people who collect chinese handhelds on /r/sbcgaming are mentally ill I swear

>>9179190
It's basically "fine" because you end up holding the thing pretty close to your face anyway.
I played a few PS1 games on it but ultimately decided the screen was too small for those, and I now just play them on my Steam Deck, but there are plenty of people who are fine with a smaller screen.
Unfortunately 3.5 inch screens are kind of the "industry standard" so you won't find bigger ones without paying a bit more
>>9179205
The stock firmware will probably serve you just fine, but you will need some way to put the roms on the SD card (which you should replace as the ones that come with the device are usually extremely cheap and break very quickly)

>>9179145
Pokémon? Grow up my man.

>>9178721
Certain games run just ok, other games like Crazy Taxi, Sonic Adventure 2 or Skies of Arcadia have a lot of audio crackling and slowdown.
These games are better played on console or pc anyway.

of course the RP3 is cheaper, because its shitter, but its your money i guess

>>9179470
The Lite is better in general, but the RP3 is still smaller, lighter, cheaper, and has the d-pad in the correct position. So even though I have a Lite on order, I still kinda want an RP3 too...

>>9179315

bros I want my first retro console but idk which one is worth it? I want to play gb/gbc/gba/nes/snes and that's it. what should I buy? I was thinking about 3DS but that screen sucks, and DSI XL support for snes and gba games are horrible. HELP

>>9171214
The Odin Lite is less expensive than the Pro and offers better battery life as well. If you go down in price, nothing can touch the Odin Lite in terms of emulation, 6' screen size and build quality.

These Windows/laptop like handhelds like the Steam Deck, OnePlayerX, Ayaneo, etc come at the cost of not just much bigger price tags, but higher weight and size, thus not making them really portable. If I’m playing retro games most of the time, I don’t need to carry that cumbersome alternative. And honestly, none of them play newer games at high quality anyway, plus if you try the battery sucks and they get real loud with the fans.

Any AAA games I’d want to play on a handheld I’d probably just use Moonlight to stream and let my PC do the heavy lifting. This way the handheld can be much lighter, get longer battery time, and with the Odin’s higher screen image/resolution quality than a Steam Deck, it’ll look better too.

There is no better alternative than the Odin Lite in terms of price-performance ratio and value.

>>9179740
Any handheld will run all of those no problem pretty much
If you're on a budget, get a Miyoo Mini v2

>>9180398
Then you’ll have to torrent.

>>9180434
But I want a site where I can discover stuff. You kind of need to know what to look for when torrent. Any recommended sites?

Is this Chinkstation any good? people say the buttons are dogshit. but the overall seems pretty nice

>>9180436
i did a quick search and found romsgames and emulatorgames. I usually use cdromance or collroms, but they don't have wii. never used the ones cited at the top tho

>>9180457

>>9180439
You understand it can't play the game pictured, right?

Is there a way to play Enter The Gungeon on the RG353P?

>>9180519
Looks like streaming it through moonlight or something like that is your only option.

>>9180530
So there's no way to play any modernish games? It's just retro games? Besides maybe Shovel Knight.

>>9180510
yes, it's just the first one that showed up

>>9180537
Some stuff works through PortMaster on JELOS, but Enter the Gungeon isn't listed, and there's no Android version of the game to use.
https://github.com/christianhaitian/PortMaster/wiki

>>9180537
You would need to buy an x86 handheld for that level of compatibility and there isn't anything in the cheaper pricerange than a Steam Deck at the current moment. Either way, you'll need to wait for those handhelds to be on the market.

>>9180510

Supposedly it actually can run Wind Waker with a bunch of tweaking. I wouldn't get one for GC though.

>>9180439
NOPE THE FUCK OUTTA THERE
Powkiddy is known for medium quality shit with no support that could or not brick itself depending on the chink manufacture lottery, you can either get a pretty good unit of a crappily built one by chang if he drunk, checkout arzeon video for more info

>>9180551
That's pretty good GC performance for something on this price range

>>9180439

The reason I wanted one of these was this >>9180551, It does have a good performance, but this >>9180581 made me very skeptical. The other one in my mind was the vita, but it lacks some performance compared to the x18s, and also lacks modern android games.

>>9180701
I feel like you might as well just go for Odin if you want GC.
>>9180783
Controls and design don't seem great. I'd rather just get an RP2+/RP3 unless you really need that extra performance and don't want to spend any more than what the X18S costs.
Vita is way weaker, but it's still fine depending on what systems you want to play.

>>9172928

It probably runs at less than 20fps with shitty controller UI still there

>>9176346
>The d-pad might be a bit sensitive on diagonals
you can replace the membrane with a thicker one if you find it too sensitive.

>>9178491
Well, you going to open that dispute?

>>9181182
Haha. I just might. I'm having massive buyer's remorse, though. I'm only buying this to play metroidvanias and other sidescrollers, but I'm disappointed there aren't as many with complex mechanics.

I'm also disappointed the best/latest I can play on it is Shovel Knight.

But at least I can do Android on it. This is my cope.

>>9181137
I guess that would be the minimum, yes.

>>9180537
Ask indie developers to learn how to program instead of using unity, because these machines are capable enough.

>>9181457
You can also play the new TMNT and some very specific titles like Iconoclasts and Timespinner. There's the Mario 64 port too, and I'm fairly sure someone's at least looking to port OoT as well. Honestly it's not like these handhelds aren't capable, I'm surprised Celeste hasn't been ported yet.

>>9181654
I can imagine you're not a programmer but developing with modern tools is never going to be that optimized, sucks shit, but write your own game in asm if you don't like it. These things only have about 2 gigs of RAM. I don't have one, but I imagine it's about a gig or a gig and a half after Android eats a chunk.

>>9181669
Well aren't you in luck
https://retrogamecorps.com/2022/04/30/guide-celeste-on-the-anbernic-rg552/

>>9181921
If it's possible for them to do it with Celeste, what's stopping us from doing that for every game, huh? How hard can it possibly be?

>>9182016
Anything using FNA can probably be ported, only problem would be performance.

>>9180504
>everything is in .wbfs
yet another format Dolphin can't play

Just ordered a RG351MP. What firmware should you install on it when it comes?

>>9182321
AmberELEC
JELOS if you want to save a few seconds of boot time (negligible on faster microSDs) and don't need many features

>>9182321
AmberELEC is the goat

It seems like the Odin Lite is the cheapest option handheld that can play PS2 games well and actually has good buttons/sticks.
But I'm hesitant to drop so much money on a chink device when I hear shipping times are like 6 months. Are any of these companies trustworthy or with decent customer service in case your order gets lost?

>>9181704
>but write your own game in asm if you don't like it.
Ah yes, you can only program using either assembly or unity, and I’m the ignorant!

>>9182016
Lazy goddamn devs baka. I wanna play Elden Ring on my Miyoo Mini so I can take pictures of me playing it at the beach for reddit

>>9182321
>amberELEC
Most settings are already configured for you and accessible from the main menu.
Bloated and heavy, takes longer to boot.
Has some strange bugs sometimes (every new version they remove one bug but abother one appears).
>ArkOS
General emulationstation settings are in the main menu. Emulator settings need to be configured in Retroarch.
Better Saturn, Dreamcast and PSP emulation compared to amberELEC.
The dev considers it "feature complete", and will only update the emulators when new versions come out (might change because he is considering adding some new stuff).
My preferred OS.
>JELOS
Similar to ArkOS, but even more lightweight, which means it boots some nanoseconds faster. Lacks some features as of now.

>tl;dr: do you have low IQ and need everything preconfigured? amberELEC. Do you want the best performance possible? ArkOS and wait for JELOS to reach feature parity.

>>9182321
I’d choose Jelos.

>>9182439
You're fundamentally rolling the dice here with all of these devices being owned by companies in Asia. There's no way you're getting them to act better to the level of say, Valve with the Steam Deck.

Sonic Mania got decompiled.
Here's hoping it gets the Portmaster treatment like Sonic 1/2/CD.

literally what did he mean by that

Any handhelds that let you set a favorite game? I want to flip a switch and be in a game in seconds like a real gameboy

>>9183305
Do the Windows versions of these devices run these games? The Odin Base for example can have the win 10/11 OS, is the considered reasonably optimized and fast? considering it's Windows and all.
So all the metroidvanias and pixel shit can run on it too? No problems like other OS' seem to be having.?

So should i just get the rp+2 ?

>>9184143
No, ignore the shills.

>>9184168
fuck man what else can i get for $100 that plays all the way up to psp/ps1?

>>9184173
PSP

>>9183536
What’s this?

>>9184024
the Odin is an ARM device, it runs Windows on Arm and very few games support that. Some Windows x86 games can be ran on an Arm device via Proton and Box86 on Linux, but compatibility is variable. I would be less sure of running modern 2D indie games on it.

>>9184414
Pyra by OpenPandora. A fully open source Linux handheld PC, successor to the original OpenPandora which is a decade old at this point.
It's not exactly a consumer device, it's mainly a device for developers and dedicated OSHW nerds.

>>9184379
Emulation support is inferior to anything you can buy nowadays https://emulation.gametechwiki.com/index.php/Emulators_on_PSP

>>9184424
Well I’m a dedicated programmer and Linux nerd, didn’t know this thing existed.

>>9184432
I think the rp2+ is looking better and better

>>9184424
>an ARM device, it runs Windows on Arm
Could you hypothetically install it on the RG353P or any ARM-based handheld SBC too?

>>9184458
Yes, it performs decently well. But have fun getting arthritis on your fingers.

>>9184468
No, only Qualcomm SOCs support it. It wouldn't even be desirable since you can just run Linux instead and use compatibility layers in that, but it's still a lot of tinkering on a very small device that you're going to have to do that will get very poor performance on any Windows software regardless.

>>9184424
Would Wine on Linux be less bloaty and possibly more compatible than Windows ARM for windows games?

>>9184490
Yes. Wine is a compatibility layer. Arm execution of x86 code is emulation and thus a lot costlier.

>>9184490
Maybe just get a mini laptop that works on regular comp OS.?

>>9184496

Are they STILL trying to make those? Last update on their wikipedia page was 2016. I remember Ashens reviewing the Open Pandora was it was new and even at the time it looked like a clunky piece of shit

>>9184730
I imagine by now that thing went under multiple revisions, but it still has sliders instead of sticks for obvious reasons

>>9184458
RP2+ is great for PS1 and below, it'll do Dreamcast well too

>>9171139
The non-retro library of phones is severely lacking, whereas with jailbroken OEMs you have theirs on top of emulation. You are also in direct competition with battery life versus the rest of the phone, and that’s no good if it keels over in two hours. Most controllers and controller shells take up enough pocket space that could otherwise go to a separate handheld.

>>9184143
>>9184173
>>9184458
The RP2+ is kino, but if you're looking to play a lot of PSP I'd get the RP3 instead.

>>9182678
>do you have low IQ
lmao you sound like such a bitter faggot.

If I install different firmwares/OSes on different sd cards can I just swap them around in the same RG351 device to try them all out? Or do they have to install special shit into the device itself?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apq5NeD_U08

>>9185169
Don't care. No price or performance could make me tolerate such retarded button placement.

>>9185150
Yep, no need to install anything, just swap em. It's good to do this to test them out quickly.

>>9185174
Cheers.

>>9185169
Looks really good, hopefully they keep the budget price

>>9185249
It's $120 with 2gb of RAM, $130 with 3gb of RAM.

>>9185272
That's great, they didn't do an Anbernic

>>9185273
kek god I wish anbernic would go back to being based again. their prices have gotten so bad.

>>9185169
Are they finally letting people use some loonix based OS other than android? I honestly find this one interesting (they put the d-pad in the right place this time), and I disliked the RP2+ a lot.

>>9185284
Yeah, them finally putting the d-pad in the right position in a small/light device with stacked shoulder buttons is the main draw for me. I also really like the Vita style dpad as opposed to the parts-bin dpad they and many of the other chinkheld companies have been using for ages now.

>>9185301
If it weren't for the fact I have something against the idea of collecting handhelds (I have a PSP, a DS fat, a 3DS and an RG351P, and a phone that can emulate plenty of shit too, so it feels like too many) I'd probably consider this one. Well that, and availability in Europe. This shit goes for almost 200€ over here, almost not worth it.

>>9185310
Yeah I'm in a similar position. I already have a Vita, RP2+, Steam Deck, and Odin Lite on order so I can't really justify it. There's a side of me that wants to cancel the Odin and get this instead for the correct dpad position and smaller size + lighter weight, but the Lite can play PS2 for the most part while this can't so idk.

>>9181921
I fucking hate Celeste, I can't put into words my hate for it.
>Make a fun if somewhat done to death precision platformer
>Wait until it becomes famous
>Reveal after that the game is trans propaganda

I've been lied and played with a lot in my life but this was just shitty. It just made my hate for trans people stronger.

>>9185324
Plenty of people into games like these are into that sort of thing, so it's kind of expected.

Man I just want the Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters ported to these devices. Is it too hard? Does every game need its source code released for that?
I've seen some games ported to Vita that I don't remember seeing its source released.

>>9185339
Those games were basically using an android compatibility layer.

For the pixel remasters specifically it might be possible since they got Android releases, but the compatibility layer might need to updated for it.

>>9185339
Why the fuck would you want that when you have the gba ports?

Wait, hold on. What the fuck does this mean? Does the RP3 have dome switches instead?

>>9185357
>the gba ports
Those are even worse you fuckhead.

>>9185365
It comes with dome switches installed and conductive rubber bits on the side if you want to install that instead. imo dome switches are better for d-pad as long as they aren't shit quality, while rubber is better for buttons as long as they aren't shit quality.

>>9185417
I just can't use a d-pad with dome switches for the most part. I hate the xbox one controller for that sort of shit and the 3DS one is just ridiculous. Thank god they let you change that sort of shit.

>>9185408
No they aren’t. For one thing, they don’t look like ass.

>>9185426
I've never used the Xbox One d-pad, but the one on the Xbox Series controller is phenomenal. The 3DS one was complete dogshit though, yeah.

>>9172848
>RG505
This is irredeemably stupid, and probably expensive. They decide to make something that's apparently more powerful than the RP3 after releasing like 50 different models in a year and they decide to give it a less comfortable design when they already figured out the rg353p. They can fuck themselves. I already had to buy a screen from them for 35 fucking euros and I refuse to spend more on them. I hate this shit so much. Bet it's going to be $200.

>>9185527
Nah the pigdisgusting 353 can eat shit. The really should've gone for stacked shoulders with this though, and I fear it's going to be way too expensive and likely very heavy/bulky.

as for me, it's still the 351v

>>9185550
The 353 is weak and pricey but at least it's more comfortable to hold than all these fucking switch mini shaped portables. These companies have a hard time coming up with decent ergonomics unless the price just goes up. AYN should just kick Anbernic the fuck out of the market.

>>9185561
The thing about the shitch and all these rectangular devices is they're all shaped exactly like a phone, and I'm not sure that's a coincidence. I think the Odin and RGB10 Max 2 look like they handle ergonomics well, although the Max 2 still uses a weak af chip. The Steam Deck also has incredible ergonomics and controls, the best in the handheld space actually, but it's fucking huge and heavy.
