/vr/ - Retro Games

Chinamen dont give a fuck as long as the money keeps rolling in, which it is.

>>9391104
Chinks are on another fauci flu lockdown.

Stop making this thread.

>>9391982

>>9391982
Yes you fag. I don't give a fuck if your phone can run Switch games if the controls are utter garbage.

>states facts
>gets called a schitzo
its 2020 still isnt it

>>9391982
if u say this completely logical statement in the handheld thread you will be verbally assaulted/attacked

its all shills and tards with buyers remorse- you literally can link them to a tablet for $70 with 5x the specs screensize etc

they just plug their ears in an autistic rage
those threads should all be moved to /g/ or /v/ as they are NOT retro

and v cringe

>>9392012
But all you are paying for is the buttons and the form factor.

>>9392060
so?
buy a controller
it makes zero sense to underpower\value for more money
a controller can be whatever shape you want
when it wears out it can be repaired\replaced

>>9391104
Hey, they finally put the d-pad in the right fucking spot.

>>9392153
But then I wouldn't want a handheld and would just use my laptop with a 3060 in it. I want a psp like device with a modern screen and buttons that is unlocked. I have a fold 3 with 12gb of ram and a 7" 2k screen already. It runs dolphin gamecube at 2x resolution. But I want a dedicated device with buttons that I can cooonfigure and tweak and maximize. Then when I want another one I will cooonfigure it for my dad and give it to him to play zelda on the shitter.

I have a laptop and a desktop for such things.

>>9392282
psp-like you fucking king retard

amazing to think how long phone faggots have been utterly pooper-pained, butt-battered and rectum-ravaged over these devices. imagine getting upset that somebody bought a dedicated device for playing games, as if $100 or $200 is a lot of money. just buy a basedoid pocket double plus++ and get over yourself.

>>9392675
phone controller mounts put so much stress and weight on your palms and wrist and those switchlike grips all fucking blow in one way or another

>>9392282
How do you use this setup on the go?

Isn't the point of this to be, you know, PORTABLE? With a phone controller it's pretty portable but the issue there is that you are dual purposing your phone battery so rip using your phone during the day unless you plan on charging.

>>9392651
>>9392745
nta but there seem to be a few options that fit fire tablets pretty well

>>9392818
kek this is so fucking autistic looking

>>9392820
>i want a android tablet
>but i want it with a controller!
>one that makes it a handheld!!
>NO NOT THAT ONE!!!
idk kill yourself i guess

>>9392826
i'm not either of the guys that you're replying to, i'm just telling you, this looks autistic as fuck. i'm not enough of a faggot to play baby games on a handheld to begin with, but if i was, i'd prolly rather drop a buck on one of these gameboy things than play whatever the fuck that aspergers invention is.

>>9392832
>i dun like handhelds ;)
Why even open the thread? Are you that autistic?

>>9392826
Are you seriously going to use this in public though? Be honest now.

>>9392818
have you tried,
now hear me out
fucking wireless controllers

>>9393096
I'm not the one who asked for it, why would I use it?

>>9392282
you cant fully jailbreak a fire tablet. it will always reinstall and reenable all their bloat and spyware

>>9391129
Have you ever ordered anything from Aliexpress? If you don't receive your shipment on time you can get your money back through dispute. I've got tons of free shit thanks to post in my country being tardy.

>>9392818
I would just use my laptop at that point.

>>9393169
Just use a desktop and a tv at that point.

>>9392153
What about 'handheld' don't you understand. Are you that stupid?

>>9393571
tablet > handheld
in all regards

>>9393580
Gaming laptop > both

>>9392167
Yeah considering what it is built for it has a decent form factor.

>>9393169
A 13 inch tablet with a controller is not a handheld device. I wouldn't think this needs explaining but here we are.

>>9391104
Mine sat in Shanghai for like a month, when it finally got to the States, it sat in Denver for a week before being sent to me in VA

>>9392167

>>9393917
I'm in MD so it will probably be the same length of time

>>9391104
>RP3 just came out
>they already announced RP3+

I really don't know what the point of buying these devices is when they are soon gonna announce something better

>>9394205
Just buy the device that fits your use case and preferences the best and hold on to it for a long time, ignoring any incremental upgrades. Chinks are always going to hold back on upgrades and improvements to squeeze as much money out of people as possible.

>>9394205
they all run android now anyway
grab a $100 prepaid phone and a usb-c controller case and you've got better specs than any "Retro Handheld" for the next 6+ years

>>9394205
Or you could get an Odin which won't be beaten in Performance any time soon

>>9393398
What country?

>>9393251
anon please stop typing
it depends on your firmware and if you were retarded 1 year ago or no
>>9393606
somewhat true
the tablet is easier to bring in my bag
i cant risk damaging a high-end pc at work kek
>>9394247
this, except get a large "phone" a small tablet or better yet, a LARGE tablet and magnet mounts for your car dash

I hate you chink handheld shills so god damn much

>>9394364
Go find one of those penis steam deck threads and die in it.

You use a tablet and controller at work? Pic related is my cringe

>>9391982
It's USB-C, they just used a stock-ass image for the pic in OP, just saying "hey it comes with a cable"

>>9395017
I thought about trying to order one but the indiegogo page said that this was no guarantee of actual sale

>>9395757
no one can see
its honestly looks stock on my dash kek
i keep controllers in my glovebox

>>9395967
What the hell are you a trucker

>>9395757
>at work
If you're pulling out a toy at work at all, you're a faggot manchild.

>>9396384
There is zero context where playing old children's video games doesn't make you a manchild. People witnessing you do it in public doesn't magically transmute what you're doing. We're all the same here anon, don't act superior.

>>9396384
Bootlicker mindset. The goal at work is to do as little as possible while getting paid as much as possible.

>>9396639
Explain why not playing with toys in public is "bootlicker mindset".
There are millions of ways to slack off without showing off your fisher price teething ring.

>>9396657
How is work public?

>>9396384
If you're confident and you don't look like a faggot and you pull out a Retroid in public, nobody would give a flying fuck

>>9391104
It took like a month to get mine. Chinks are on lockdown, so I think that's affected shipping times.

Is there a dual screen version of this shit for ds/3ds games?

>>9399939
Do you not have walls in your office?

>>9399974
No. And you would think the samsung folds would be perfect and they are. But the fucking emulators don't let you configure the screens and controls to fit the fold screens.

Other emulators allow you to move the size and location of the screen displays

Covid bullshit is over. Covid deniers were right. Get over it. We can be normal and deal with the 14 trillion dollars worth of global inflation. Thank goodness emulation is free.

>>9398660
My RP3 finally got to the states yesterday and they announced this shit yesterday. If you want a refund then you can return it but YOU have to pay for the shipping. God I hate chinks.

>>9401369
Just use it for two or 3 years then buy the retroid pocket 6. Nvidia already has a 4090 out and nobody could even get 3060s a year ago. They will release new hardware every 6 months and if you are a just waiter you will never have anything. There will always, always be a new version+ of everything in just a few more months. Just buy every two years or use upgrade paths to keep things for 5-7 years.

>>9401381
Yeah that was always my plan. Before the RP3 I've been on the RP1/PowkiddyA19. Just sucks to have ordered this not even 2 weeks ago when this is a good upgrade from the RP2+/RP3 (same hardware). I'm mostly aiming for GC emulation and these Unisoc chips are apparently quite good if not just a little lacking.

>>9401409
Then you probably should have been looking at ofin lite anyway. I mean worst thing in the world is use your $25 off code and give the normal rp3 as a gift to somebody in your life. Another option is just run dolphin on your pc and then stream it with steam link. Then you can run it at 1080p anyway.

Give me rundown on Powkiddy X18S. I can get for the same price as 533v with coupons from ali. Is it good? I know chipset is beast for emulation but os was crappy.

>we’ll just give you a refund

months of back and forth, and I just get my money back and $150 dollars of Steam Bucks from cards I bought that will now barely get used as There’s no new vidya I want or will want. I’ve got a tech friend and he says he’ll help me just build my own portable gaming machine so I think I’m going to go that route in the future. If Steam let me down then I’m certainly not gonna trust China… I just wanna play everything up to the 6th gen comfortably on the go…

>>9405838
The steam deck is more of an on the couch machine than on the go.

Powkiddy v90 chinaboy sp is $10 on amazon right now. I ordered 3 to give as presents to people.

>>9405838
I hate to burst your bubble anon but steam decks are built in China, everything is. It's really just luck of the draw. The nice thing with Steam is that you can hold them accountable and get refunds with relative ease, otherwise with chinks you'll have to fight tooth and nail to get a refund on top of coming out with a massive hatred and hoping for the absolute destruction of the Chinese.

>>9405838
lol you get what you deserve, anime posting dimwit

>>9406476
Right, I guess I had just heard so many good things about steam products and steam support that it was weird that the situation would end up like that. I wonder if I just somehow got two units from a bad batch? Either or, I suppose I’ll get my money back and just throw it towards the emulation machine I make with my friend. No harm no foul in the end, outside of wasted time I suppose.

>>9398660
But can this run PS2?

>>9406963
>But can this run PS2?
>tiger t618
>mali g52

>>9406963
Yes

>>9406678
Maybe try breaking it in

>>9406963
There are videos in their yt channel running ps2 games, but I would wait until reviewers get it, it could be using frameskip.

>>9407000
I tried that too. After the second unit had the issue I assumed it must be user error as well, so I played a bunch of SF2 and MMX (ie: games that would force me to use the right button a lot) and there was no difference after several days. I then tried my friends Deck out expecting to find his buttons to be the same, but come to find that his d-pad not only worked, but his diagonal buttons (which are a common complaint) worked pretty good as well. I then went under the assumption that he may be the odd one out, so I talked with various people online about the issue and came to find that barely anyone had it. That’s when I sent the video of the issue to steam and asked if this could just be the way they are made, and they said that wasn’t the case and I should send it in.

So basically, either I had just the worst kind of luck with the Steam Deck and got two defective units back to back with the same issue, or like I said, there may be a slightly defective batch of them.

>>9405838
Wow you're super special to be the only one who found this defect on more than one device, couldn't just be you. No way it could just be you, not possible.

Why are some people like this that they can find minor autistic issues in everything they buy so they end up shitting on everything? BTW I know you are posting in the other thread with the video attached, I still don't buy that it couldn't be a software thing that it isn't making a noise 100 percent when you press it. How can you rule that out and know that it is hardware?

>>9407786
Right, I thought this was going to be the portable gaming thread for a moment and didn’t see the other one.

That’s what I was trying to figure out with support. In games like Mega Man or Sonic there’d be times where the input would just drop, so I used the sound that’s on the steam deck menu to sort of show how much it dropped, and pressed each side rapidly so you’d really get an idea of the drops in comparison. There was like, a dead zone on the right d-pad where if you pressed it there with anything but a “hard” press it would just not register the input. Also, go back and reread my posts. At no point am I shitting on it. If anything I’m kinda jealous of my friend for getting a working unit and just lamenting that somehow I got a “defective (?)” unit twice. I know the comments section in the second video I posted in that thread have people having similar issues as well, so who knows.

My analogue pocket shipped yesterday and will arrive tomorrow.

>>9407860
Maybe you are onto something, but I still don't 100 percent think that unless you use a controller test utility you will see for certain whether it is not just a quirk of the software. I tried it and mine doesn't do that either.

I didn't mean to say you were shitting on it really, but some people do. If you got one a third time and had the issue AGAIN I'd say there is nothing to satisfy you desu kek. Some people are like that (aka people who buy 4 monitors because they autistically look for dead pixels).

>>9407913
thanks for the update, manlet

>>9408094
If you mean the calibration thing in the settings, I tried that before I sent it in the second time.

And I’m not surprised. I talked with several people online about it trying to see if they could replicate my issue and nobody could so I highly doubt it’s a widespread problem.
>I'd say there is nothing to satisfy you
you’d be surprised. I test my handhelds pretty thoroughly when I get them as I want to weed out any issues as I plan on keeping them in good shape long term. My vita, for instance, has a similar issue as my Steam Deck but on the “L Button”. I looked it up, and come to find out that it’s a very common issue that can be fixed by tightening some screws, but because very few old vidya uses the left bumper, I decided it wasn’t really worth pursuing the fix or really ever bringing up. The problem in the Steam Deck’s case was that having inconsistent, unreliable movement in demanding retro games was a killer and would actually affect my gameplay negatively more than once, thus all the stink thrown over one button on the d-pad. If it was any other button or just the issue with diagonal inputs, I’d have ignored it. Like I said above though, going right is pretty important in old games.

>>9408094
Oh, and I appreciate you trying to recreate the issue with yours too and letting me know.

>>9407786
you know even Taki Yudon said he had problems with the first deck he bought and cautioned people from buying them from third parties unless they can thoroughly test them out first. he said this in his last video where he says the deck is his favorite portable. is he lying too?

I cant believe there are still have faggots like you around.
"the 360 doesnt have an over heating problem. YOU must have stuck it in a cramped entertainment center with no airflow"

"theres nothing wrong with the switch analog sticks, YOU must have stepped on yours to make them drift"

"the ps5 doesnt fall off the stand if you look at it too fast, YOU must not have put it on right"

>>9408394
Why would you buy a deck from third parties?

Consoles can have flaws but stating a flaw that nobody else commonly talks about (like the ones you mentioned except maybe the Ps5 one, does the console stand affect your ability to play games) is what I am referring to. This is similar to how some consider xbox controller layouts literally unplayable or something. Just nitpicking. The dpad above actually does sound unplayable though like the switch dpad basically is (another known issue nobody defends).

There's being apple fruit toy cult fanatical "you're holding the phone wrong" and "headphone jack removal is brave" and calling out an issue that sounds like nitpicking.

My steam deck has a start and b button that stick a bit, is it annoying? A little, did I let it stop me from playing it and have to get several returns for a fix? No. The buttons sticking are also reasonably well known for the steam deck to be an issue but I rarely send people sending them back for it.

>>9408112
Holy based

>>9408589
Yeah nothing is ever perfect

Just had a thought, I think what I’m going to try and do is find the “dead spot” on the d-pad and just press it rapidly for a day or two. When I think about how I tried to break it in, I was always doing so playing games so my thumb would move off that dead spot from time to time and potentially the next time I pressed it, it would be on a different spot. Maybe just hitting that spot for a couple hours will do the trick. I’ll update as it may be a fix for others who have the issue too.

>>9409373
>rapid pressing a single spot on a button for 40 minutes

Feels like I’m playing the Drakengard ending again.
