/vr/ - Retro Games

I guess we'll find out who bought an ad itt!

>>9460589
Hacked switch
Phone
Miyoo mini

Waiting for a retroid pocket in 4:3 that can play PS2. You know it's just a few years out.

Why are these shits allowed on the board while legitimate handhelds from the early 2000s that actually had official re-releases and ports of retro games don't?

>>9460725
mods have never cared when I posted threads about PSP.

>>9460589
RG351MP
Got it a little over a year ago and it's still going strong, no reason to upgrade anytime soon.

>>9460589
>Playing
Castlevania (NES)
Donkey Kong Country (SNES)
Advance Wars (GBA)
Hogs of War (PS1)
>Device
Powkiddy V90
>Consoom
I'm eyeballing one of those 6-gorillion-games-in-one handhelds that can only play NES games (mostly clones and bootlegs). For 8 bucks and a free controller for the second player it's not so bad of a deal, but I'm containing myself because this month I've already spent enough for a new Celestron telescope.

>>9460562
anbernig's customer support is absolute dogshit even by chink company standards. You're absolutely fucked if anything goes wrong. They'll either ignore you, tell you nothing is wrong, or offer you back $30 on a $100+ lemon. If you want an Anbernic product, it's always best to order from their official store on Aliexpress instead. They usually have sales going on there too at the same time as the main store, thankfully.

>>9460593
Also yeah, he makes good austic videos, but he needs to reign in the "and so"s a bit. he should only allow himself to say it twice per video.

Are there any of these that

>about the size of the OG GBA
>powerful enough to run up to PS1 WITH runahead
>screen with high enough resolution to make decent use of shaders, 720p minimum
>dpad focus with comfortable ergonomics

>>9460589
Most recently I've gotten a RG353M and Miyoo Mini. Both are nice. Miyoo Mini with OnionOS is peak convenience. I have an RG505 on order, waiting to ship. Wish I had bought an RP3+ instead, but no one did a direct comparison until after the order had processed, so I got fucked. Kind of pissed about it, will probably chuck it in a drawer and never look at it out of sheer frustration. Going to start playing Ys Books I & II tonight, but that will be on my MiSTer, not a handheld. Mostly been playing arcade games on the handhelds.

>>9460903
>Kind of pissed about it, will probably chuck it in a drawer and never look at it out of sheer frustration.
kek. Honestly there's like a 80% at this point I'm just going to end up selling mine on ebay and paying the difference for a RG353M. How is the dpad on the 353M?

>>9460589
Got my 353m the other day and I think its good. Battery light changes color as juice gets low which is nice but it doesnt turn off when done charging. Some times i need to unplug and replug to get it to start charging also. I wiped the sd card because Im not interested in having droidOS so I just run arkos. >>9460995
D-pad is solid af. It as a nice contrast feel against the metal and very responsive.

An immediate question I have for anyone familiar with arkos on these things, can i access some kind of settings for standalone emulators? The n64 ones run way better but I cant use my hotkeys while using them or any other features.

>>9460589
>Retroid shilling channel.

I'm a powkiddy RGB10 Max 2 enjoyer. Going to start parasite eve on it next week during a long flight. Otherwise playing a lot of Shiren the Wanderer on it.

I would like to have a Miyoo Mini, I heard it has a fast boot time, mine is slow to boot. I can't find a place to buy it, might get a 280v instead.

>>9460875
Probably the Retroid Pocket 3+

>>9461250
>I can't find a place to buy it
You can buy from here with the original price:
https://aliexpress.com/item/1005003611677275.html
They restock almost everyday in this times:
9AM GMT (UK)
10AM Central European Time
4AM Eastern Standard Time
1AM Pacific Standard Time
11PM Hawaii Standard Time (no Daylight Savings)

Trying to find more info on this pokemon center celebi GBA I have. I think the solid green pouch was a pre-order bonus but I'm not sure, ebay listing prices are stupid on it. But I can't find anything on the clear glittery one. It's also branded with the pokemon center and is shaped for a gba with a gbc cart in.

>>9461671
why its so hyped? does it have good performance for its size or something?

>>9460589
Is there any better alternative than a hacked switch lite with 64GB of sd card included at $247.13 for retro emulations?

>>9462354
Good performance for both its size and price.
Small enough to fit in a pocket. Even in its carrying case it fits in the front pocket of my jeans.
OnionOS is really convenient to use and easy to set up.

>>9462371
>>9462395
This is a good overview of why OnionOS is really nice.

I'm using my phone to play final fantasy 4 on ppsspp.

>>9462404
The screen is too small. For me at least it should be 4". I won't go lower.

>>9461250
How do you like the ergonomics, d-pad/buttons, weight and size, etc? It looks so fucking cool to me and wish I could hold one for myself real bad, but I can't justify paying over $100 for a RK3326 device at this point. Wish those Powkiddy bastards would drop the price already.

Why are these fucks taking so long to ship REEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

>>9461250
>Shiren the Wanderer
Respect. Which one are you playing? I'm gonna start the postgame to Shiren 2.

>>9460725
DS and PSP are in an awkward place because they still had games released until like 2012. so definitely not retro there, yet they also fit with the GBA/PS2 era in 2004-2005

>>9461649
It's very nice in the hands, I can play it for a while without issue.

>>9462729
The Nintendo DS one, it plays great and works fine with only one of the two screens visible.

>>9462529
k. Then a micro handheld probably isn't right for you.

Selling my chinkhelds on lebbit if you have an acount on that godforsaken site.
Not allowed in there, but I'd fill them with whatever games you wanted.

https://www reddit com/r/SBCGaming/comments/zbg6ku/selling_rg350_and_rg351mp/

>>9462371
For emulation? Something like an RP3+ or Odin would be a way better option.
If you're not worried about anything past PS1 and also want to play Switch games, I guess it'd be fine.

Let me guess, I’m about to get DEAR FRIEND’d.
About $25.

>>9460725
Previous rule wasn't as arbitrary a line as this one. If PS2 is retro, DS, PSP, and Wii should be canonized as well. The line should be HD systems nowadays.

>>9463085
>allowing 7th gen simply because they're not HD
Not feeling it personally, but I do agree the rule being only hardware made before the year 2000 made more sense than the current one. In reality though, you can talk about any handheld in these threads as long as it's for the purpose of emulation and jannies won't care. People bring up the fucking Vita and 3DShit all the time.

what handheld can run zelda breath of the wild smoothly and cost under 80$ if there is such thing

>>9463139
>under 80$
lol

>>9463085
>>9463095
PSP and DS are less powerful than 6th gen consoles. Wouldn't that be a good metric?

>>9463158
At least not for me it wouldn't. I prefer going by time rather than power.

>>9463085
It was always arbitrary, not that there was any way around it since Dreamcast was kind of a weird case.
>>9463158
GBA wasn't allowed before, I don't see why PSP or DS would be any different.

>>9463151
very helpful, thanks

>>9463178
$60 will get you a handheld that is very capable of playing PS1 games at full speed. Now consider what you're asking for, and why that would be seen as unreasonable.

>>9463197
>very capable of playing PS1 games at full speed
m8 the rk3326 in the RG351 series still has slowdown in some PS1 games. Maybe you're talking about a $60 used PSP, or maybe the chip in the Miyoo Mini is more capable, but I haven't looked since I don't care for vertical form-factor.

>>9463080
Lol lmao even

>>9463220
The Miyoo Mini seems to play Bloody Roar II at full speed, at least on the latest OnionOS. If it has any slow down, I don't notice it.

so what is the best fake handheld? I want to play PS1 era and MAYBE PS2. I don't care about size but it should be able to fit in a backpack or medium sized purse.

>>9463197
lol its not
>>9463220
yep, watching game plays on youtube with all the handhelds retards shill here and its embarrassing
>>9463337
my tetris I had when I was 6 years old had bigger screen than this overpriced meme+vertical dont care

>>9462371
That's weird. I was under the impression that only the launch model Switch could be hacked?

>>9463373
>>>9463197
>lol its not
You're out of touch with reality. The only possibility is snatching up a Switch Lite that for some retarded reason some parent is selling for $80 on your local classified ad website.

>Odin arriving today
>hot as fuck everywhere but the lounge
Setting shit up is going to be ass but this Summer's gonna be pretty good

Last thread made me pull the trigger on picrel. Watched quite a few YT vids and comparison vids too.

I returned a Steam Deck since I didn't need the extra performance this plays all I will want. Saved a couple hundred maple bucks.

Thanks for the recs /vr/o's.

>>9460873

For most chink handhelds, the best option is to order from Amazon when they eventually pop up on there. If shit goes wrong it's piss easy to return and they give you like 30 days. Yeah it costs more but consider it as insurance against chinesium.

>>9463409
Others can be hacked with a modchip. Can't run Android or Lakka if you want to try and squeeze a little more emulation performance out of it though.

>>9463409
Softhack on the og ok, hardmod on the Lite and Oled with SX OS.
>>9463080
Lol link? Sketchy as fuck. Enjoy your taxes

>>9463409
Launch model is the easiest to hack, but any switch can be hacked even oled, but they require a modchip.

I bought 351P, still waiting it tho. Flashed amberelec and prep all games, someone knows what i have to do and don't?
Example: official site says you have to rigorously charging it with specific charger (not included?)
Also someone know if is it possible to install other OS like steamOS, just out of curiosity?

So do people just talk about any non-retro game and any non-retro console in this thread as long as it's a handheld

>>9464805
Sure, why not?

Is the Retroid Pocket 3+ as good as they siad and will it replace my trusty TG 351M?

>>9465505
It's pretty fucking good yeah.

>>9463080
Lmaooooooooo

Ordered an RG300. Do I need it? No.

>>9465505
It's great. Would be perfect if it weren't for the retarded button placements of the start/select and volume buttons. Start is okay but I can't hit Select at all without it being uncomfortable. And sometimes I am gripping the left side too hard when doing D-Pad movements and hold the volume buttons and fuck with the sound. There are workarounds for these like using Button Mapper to disable long press on volume buttons and touchscreen start/select, but I hate needing workarounds in the first place for something this dumb. That said, when you do get these issues out of the way and are just playing, it's an amazing handheld.

>>9465591
(tiny little baby hands)

>>9462739
People still make homebrew for Atari 2600, guess it isn't retro.

Got my pocket, it is amazing but the way the OS is still unfinished irks me to no end.
Rg353v is still superior in usability but the performance of the pocket is amazing, too bad only few pocket cores support savestates

>>9461232
If you don't like it, shill a better device.

>>9465591
>if it weren't for the retarded button placements of the start/select and volume buttons.
This is my main problem with the thing and why have not bought it yet. That and the software because I don't like stock android.
What the hell were they thinking with the star/select buttons?

>>9463609
wait, why aren't you getting the 3+?

Where does GMX Zero rank?

new 3ds from japan or rp3+? already got a 2+ and a new3ds xl but the xl is in terrible shape and i can easily resell the 2+ for 80$ or so the new 3ds xl i own is in too terrible of shape to resell unless i do it part only

Probably a long shot, but does anyone have a pre-built APK of Super Mario 64 with the on-screen controls as well as 60FPS and the better cam?
Tried compiling myself and it just closes as soon as I open it. Found a few APKs from google but they all have the touch screen controls.

>>9466182
Fuck, meant without the on-screen controls.

Anyone know if there is any performance difference between RG505 and the Retroid Pocket 3+? More wondering if that resolution difference affects emulation any.

Are there any cheap-ish handhelds that can handle up to the 6th gen perfectly, or is it still too early for that?

The steam deck was a bit overkill of what I wanted it for.

>>9464472
I use my literal USB C charger to charge my RG351P. I also have JELOS installed on to the first SD card and it works just fine.

I think you can only use AmberElec or JELOS on it for the Linux side of things. Not sure about ArkOS.

I would stick to everything PS1 below on the Linux side with JELOS and use Android for everything else aka for N64 etc.

Also big tip: when you're in Android mode, make sure to check the top panel settings aka swipe down with the touch screen and make sure the 'CPU Boost' option is selected otherwise N64 will run terribly.

>>9466316
No, but we seem to be getting pretty close now with the RG505 and RP3+. Let's see what 2023 brings.

I wish the RG505 had a fuckin Atomic Purple color scheme

>>9466481
Cool, I’ll keep waiting then. My hacked vita takes care of my needs well enough till then, but it’ll be nice when there’s something a little more affordable that can handle Dreamcast, ps2, and gamecube.

I’d say the steam deck wasn’t bad, but still a bit pricey and I had some issues with it. Guess fingers crossed

>>9466546
A transparent gray would be my ideal, but any transparent colors would've been great. Hell, I'd even take a basic-bitch all black well over what we got. I'm flabbergasted by how fucking ugly all the choices we got are.

>>9463080
>Shop*
good luck

How is the Retroid Pocket 3+’s emulation capabilities? I see it was getting some good reviews and people are saying it handles the 1-6th gen very well.

>>9466846
Bretty much anything up to Dreamcast would run decently

>>9466987
Ah, yep, I see that. Found another review where the guy was a bit more thorough about gamecube and ps2 emulation, but it seems like >>9466481 said was true. I can’t imagine by next year there won’t be something relatively cheap that will emulate the 6th gen consoles just fine.

kek

>miyoo arrived after 1 month
>obssessed before it arrived
>lost interest after an hour of fiddling
fug

>>9467535
bad os
software emulation = garbage

Do the RG353M and RGG353V play Dreamcast, N64, and mame alright? I’m leaning more towards the RG353M as the make is apparently really solid and it’s very pocketable, but I like the design a lot more on the RGG353V.

>>9467592
mame is horrible/buggy even on high end gaming pc
the devs themselves have stated many times that they are trying to preserve the history not build an accurate emulator

would you play mario bros @ 85% speed? how about 120%?


the state of n64 emulation is saddening, barely playable at best & hot unusable garbage at its worst. your mileage may vary.


for whatever reason even toasters can run dreamcast and depending on the game you choose it prob will run decently

>>9467606
Finally tracked down the googledoc that has all the handhelds and their capabilities, and yeah, it’s not looking too good for those devices. When they get to N64, PSP, Dreamcast, and Saturn, they both scored B-B+ which is a bit vague. Still, love their portability and design so I’m gonna do a bit more research on them before I pull the trigger. The metal casing for the RG353M and supposedly sturdy buttons make it particularly appealing, but I’m curious why it didn’t get better scores on the Dreamcast and psp as those are usually pretty easy to emulate.

>>9460589
playing sonic robo blast 2 on my odin
in between playing grandia

Why are the Retroid Pocket 3+’s on preorder? I thought they were already out? Is this just for their next stock?
more importantly, is it safe to preorder one of these things or is that a potential money loss as they might not ever get the units in?

>>9466198
It's too early to tell I think, people are still getting their copies of both handhelds.
Both use the same chipset, so I don't think there's gonna be huge differences.
According to this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5owHHqCUUek
there are supposedly considerable differences on scaling, eg RG505 can emulate PSP with a 2x resolution while the RP3+ can go up to 3x

>>9467672
Maybe they just forgot to update their page idk
It took like 21 days for them to ship my order and 5 more days for it to leave China so expect similar schedules

>>9466171
RP3+ if you care about emulation, 3DS if you care about 3DS games.

I went looking for a 3ds thread on /vg/ and there was nothing. I just got the new freeshop so im wondering what I should check out now. 3DS was born /vr/ rite guys?

God I hate 3dsbabbs so much.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=UZUT0LezrFs
miyoo sisters... did we just get BTFO?

any first hand experiences regarding the RG353P and its wonky refresh rate?

>3DS can't even do a half decent job at emulating Genesis sound
>People keep trying to shove it down others' throats as an emulation device
I love my 3DS (I have three of the fuckres), but it's for 3DS games, and a handful of /vr/ systems that it can do reasonably well. Even among those, the user experience is dog shit compared to just about anything else.

>>9460589
>Thinking about consooming another handheld
barely used my rp3 and just ordered a 353v

>>9468383
i hate my 3ds
it makes hands cramp and the screens are shitty and low res
fuck the 3ds, id rather emulate its games

>>9465591

Rebind start and select to X and Y.

>that guy that keeps downloading and tinkering with ps2 isos to see what runs well on his rp3+ and then just goes back to emulating megadrive games anyways
holy cringe, seriously hope you guys don't do this.

>>9468194

miyoo mini seemed like lightning in a bottle. Price, hype, influence from youtubeniggers, shilling, etc. I almost fell for the gimmick but it really seems way too small for my needs.

>>9468684
What about games that use X and Y, like the SNES? When I get my RP3+, I plan on using the touchscreen or R and L buttons for start/select

The fucked up thing is I actually ended up really liking the Start button placement on the RP3 much to my surprise. I'm talking more than I like it on the face of a handheld for some fucked up reason that I don't understand. It's the Select button that gets me, I basically have to dismount my entire right hand to reliably hit it without also hitting Start.

Just me personally since I know I'm a weirdo for liking the Start position to begin with, I would've liked the Select button placed just right of L1 in the same way that Start is just left of R1.

>>9468194
>>9468714
Look at the size. This is not going to compete with the miyoo mini, its a refresh of the RG300 which is way outdated. Now is going to have better internals.
Also, don't forget that miyoo mini has the OnionOS.

why are so many retards obsessed with "muh novelty size" instead of actual comfort ?

>>9468838
I don't know, for travelling I guess
I only use mine at home

>tfw bought 351MP a year ago
>barely use it and only play GBA on it
>don't feel like buying anything else because it would just take up space

I wonder how much time these "reviewers" actually spend time playing on those handhelds

>>9462739
I was surprised how late even major releases for the OG DS were, bought some carts recently and they were all from 2010 onwards.
I want to talk about it so bad because of the amount of weird shit games it has on it but rules is rules.
it's pretty gay we cant have ds threads yet tho.

>>9468807
>its a refresh of the RG300
Except it doesn't have the really nice single shoulder buttons of the RG300 sadly.

>>9468890

I wonder that too. Having 10 of these devices and duplicates probably means less to someone who owns only one device.

I've had an RG351p for two years and its used daily.

still on v90. cbf getting another device, just wish it played all gba games

>>9469072
I thought GBA was supposedly fine on CFW. How many games have issues?

>>9469126
https://github.com/TriForceX/MiyooCFW/wiki/GPSP
theres lots more but mostly shovelware that I stumbled upon and tried to launch.

>>9468939
Based RG351P chad

>>9468213
I have an RG353P and think it's awesome. Haven't noticed anything about the refresh rate but I think you're talking about that autist Taki Udon video.

I use mine for up to PS1 on the Linux side with JELOS and only use Android for light N64 (which is ok at best).

I have an RG351V that i only use for Gameboy and Gameboy Color which is mad comfy.

However I've taken the phone pill and got a better mid tier phone this year from my phone carrier and plan on just using my phone plus a USB C controller going forward for anything N64 and up since the performance for what you get is bs plus they constantly try to recycle shit every 6 months.

Anyway, I still think for the average person, a Miyoo Mini, RG351V (or RG353V), and RG353P are the best options.

Retroid Pocket 3+ fucked up with the select and start buttons but they already leaked that they'll just make the 4 with a better version already slated next year so its not worth it until you hold out on the supreme version.

>>9468807
Guaranteed this is that Taki Udon faggot autist.

>>9468890
I bought a 351M and I have bee thinking to replace, probably with a RP3+, it but I also see vvery little reason to do it.
Like what would it improve? A bigger screen?

>>9469193
If you get over having to remap the select and start buttons to the outer triggers, probably just better PS1 onward performance. If you're the type of retard that only messes with SNES and Genesis below, I wouldn't bother personally unless you want a bigger screen or better controls.

>>9461136
why do I see piccolo fucking vegeta in the ass?

I have 3 questions

1 there are any budget handhelds to emulate ps1 psp and other old 3d or 2d games.

2 there any good ps2 emulator for android that isn't on the Google play store.

3 is it possible to play ps3 games on android or a custom handheld to be able to play it.

>>9470103
>budget handhelds
How much are you willing to spend?

>>9463585
Enjoy your summer upside down bro. Heading to -20 F here in the next month I bet, that's almost -30 in water temp units

>>9470103
>PS3 on Android
I doubt that's possible right now

>>9470103
>1
PS1 and older is easy, doing PSP well is more expensive, but depending on your definition of budget, might still be doable.
>2
AetherSX2 is pretty much it. Should be able to grab it from their site without using the Play Store if that's what you mean though.
>3
No PS3 on Android, Steam Deck is the cheapest handheld that you'd be able to get PS3 out of, but it still has issues depending on the game.

Opinions on getting ps vita for retro gaming?

>>9471240
It's fine but not great. For the same price you could probably get something else that can do N64 and dreamcast reliably.

>>9471240
It's okay but it's showing its age by this point. I have one and it struggles with some of the higher end SNES games. Community development for it has also slowed down considerably in recent years. It's still great if you want to focus on PS1, PSP, and Vita though.

>>9468740
i got a switch lite after my rp3 and sometimes i try to reach my finger up there to press +

>>9471658
Kek nice. I've caught myself doing it a few times on my Steam Deck.

>>9467562
>Software emulation is garbage because objectively... because.... It just is, OK!?
Software emulation is not always the best, but saying it is equal to garbage?

>>9467015
If you're looking at majority of 6th generation consoles games that doesn't include Xbox, that may be true. But perfectly? You're too optimistic about that. We're just now getting chips with 2017 flagship mobile phone architectures. No android phone so far can run Rogue Squadron 2 on Dolphin at full speed on mobile outside of hacked iPhone 12s mostly due to CPU brute forcing. The Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 can probably do it but it is unreleased until 2023. You're looking until 2028 if the time lag is the same to get this power in a $150 device. For most of 6th generation, you're already pretty much there with the T618 and this is a chip that was already released in 2019 by Unisoc which is now just trickling down to this pricepoint. 6th generation is where mobile chips are going to feel like time stopped until someone is willing to eat a loss with a flagship mobile SOC on a device selling cheaply before the 2028 timeline when the chips become cheap enough.

Has anyone received their 505 yet? Actually, has anyone else aside from my retarded ass actually ordered one?

every night i dream about the rp2+ having the dpad in the correct position. it would've been kino you guys.

>>9472132
If you flip the left side in this pic I would buy it. Having a device with triggers makes only sense with the Xbox layout

>>9472132
I would actually buy it if it were more in the Xbox layout since if a device has triggers then you might want to play FPS games etc.

Anyone know if there's an android version of Emulation Station? I'd really like to have menu music when I get my RP3+ but I can't find any information about that specific feature on some frontends for Android.

>>9461250

>RGB10 Max 2

Hopefully the battery doesn't explode on you like I've heard from others. The screen on mine stopped working after 2 months of moderate use. I even went as far as replacing the screen and it was still fucked.

Enjoy it, Anon.

>>9469145

It's even better after I got a grip from Etsy for $20.

>>9472292
>If you flip the left side in this pic I would buy it
Well that's the orientation the real device actually has so get to buying.

>>9472303
Damn that's crazy. I wanted one of these for a while to be honest since it looked like the perfect device.

>>9473303
Yeah but doesn't the fucking right stick not even click / it's a fucking slider from the PSP?

Always two steps back with Retroid sometimes.

"WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?" AVGN

>>9468389
>i hate my 3ds
I prefer the old 2ds contours. I have one that works well for what it is - a cheap handheld that plays 3ds and older games, and I can drop or sit on it without worrying about it breaking.
My only complaint about it is the d-pad makes a bit of a creaking sound.

>>9473427
When do you ever use the right stick in emulation prior to 6th gen let alone stick buttons?

>>9473421

For the short amount of time I had it, it was an amazing device. Plays the up to PS1 flawlessly, which was perfect for my needs. Light weight and felt good in the hands with those stacked shoulder buttons. But I cant in good conscience recommend it. Ive read too many horror stories along with my own.


Im ordering a RP3+ and if it works out it'll replace the rg351p I've had for two years.

>>9472307
Pic with mentioned grip.

>>9473537

I'm retarded.

>>9473526
PS1 games with dual shock. FPS modded games like Doom mods with multi stick enabled.

>>9473531
Gotcha. Yeah I've become the "I'll just run it on a mobile phone with a controller" guy. I'm happy with my RG351V and RG353P though.

I really see no need to get anything other than maybe a Miyoo Mini for Pokemon and strategy RPGs.

>>9473542
m8 what sticks caps are you using? I ordered some Vita caps and they were too fucking small even when trying to use the invert method people talk about
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2251832638795939.html
then I ordered some switch lite caps and they were too fucking big.

He said it doesn't actually need a fan and he just turned it off for what it's worth.

>>9474238
>my phone is more powerful than this and it doesn't need a fan
Because you buy a new one every year.

>>9474232
>horizontal shoulder buttons
I hate this shit even more than RP3+'s retarded start/select so I'll stick with my 3+. It especially sucks because the first renders of the KT-R1 had stacked shoulder buttons.

>>9474238
It doesn't "need" need it but you probably want it for any long running session because the ARM chips made with A76-77 and up was where heat and throttling became a problem on phones, which is why vapor chamber cooling was introduced to keep temperatures down in smartphones and the concern transfered over and contributed to the Note 7 hysteria even though in the end, it was the batteries that were at fault.

>>9474272
At least they gave the option to choose the face button layout for the D-pad and the Analog stick.

>>9474217
Yikes. Why can't they do stacked shoulder buttons? Hard pass, fuck no.

>>9474272
This.

>>9474326
Yeah that is pretty good, I wish more companies did that.

>>9474272
>>9474328

keep your fat shit out of my chinkhelds

>>9474372
No Chang, I think your sales should tank to the point where you finally listen to people and keep taking steps forward not backwards.

>>9474372
>tfw have a deck, RP3+, and probably still gonna get this after hands-on impressions and weight figures are released
Kinda asshurt they don't have the red or grey in plastic since are those are the two colors I was wanting, but I get he probably wanted the metallic sheen for that. Guess I'll go with the yellow.

>>9474159

These right here. When I ordered them all they had was blue. They're for the switch but they fit just fine.

>>9474425
Separate Anon but what are these grips for? Just to make them more comfortable or for better accuracy? Genuinely curious.

>>9474506
I just like it for the style but the ones on the left, which are taller, make it easier to aim in FPS/shooter games with the analog. I don't play games like that on the 351p but its nice for the switch when playing Saints Row 3.

Aiming with the analog in shooter games on console is fucking ass and I don't see how anyone deals with it.

RG505 update significantly reduces the cardinal directional bias on the analog sticks: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/M-Y1MewLk_w

>>9474724
A lot of updates from Anbernic, was the RG505 rushed?

>>9474861
All of this shit is rushed, but yeah, I'd guess that they wanted it to go head to with the RP3+. If they weren't out at the same time the RP3+ would have swallowed up that niche of the market. Probably will due to the early problems and the lacking aesthetics of the RG505.

Why did no one thought about just releasing an android phone with physical buttons? That would've been the best thing ever.

why do all of these consoles look like the buttons suck and would be awful to hold

>software emulation
why bother

>>9474861
The RP3+ forced their hand. Willing to bet they were going to charge their usual Anbernic tax too before realizing they would have to price it the same as the RP3+ if they wanted any chance of it selling.

>>9474892
they did, multiple times, but chink companies are retarded so the physical controls were so unbelievably garbage that nobody bought them. look up JXD or Moqi.

>>9473542
>20 bucks for that
Kek

>>9475015

What is the best mobile controller, any out there with ps vita tier d pads?

I may purchase a mobile to use solely as a handheld and run it in airplane mode if price performance will outrank.

Any mobile controller suggestions?

>>9475561
Double this. Some low range smatphone+controller looks like the best option for retro emulation. Any recomdatins for smartphone capble of good PSP emulation?

>>9474018
There are like 2 dualshock ps1 games and they both suck.

>>9474425
Thanks lad. I'm pretty sure the caps I ordered that were labelled for switch on aliexpress were actually PS4 analog caps.

>>9466317
>RG351P
it have only one sd slot and not dual OS

>>9475586
I'm bored at work, so I fiddled with my Moto Z4. I downloaded ghost of sparta, and it ran at stable 60 fps at 2x. I only played for like 5 minutes, but it should be perfectly fine with some emulator tweaks. Phones 3 years old now, probably can find a used one for $100 or less.

>>9468383
this i hate people who shill the 3ds as some god tier device, the only things its good for is 3ds even original ds games look like shit. i think theyre just over excited because its the first system theyve modded

>>9468714
I bought one and used it once, the screen looks nice but the device is way too small for playing anything on kek

>>9468714
It's not something I sit down and play for a long stretch, it's something I pack around with me and pull out when I want to play something to kill some time (or play on the toilet).

how is the Powkiddy X18S? can you actually connect it to a HD display?

Why can't these Anberchinks just make a normal dark colored handheld nowadays, almost all their color choices look shit.

>>9476731
It's kind of ridiculous to see how much better the 505 looked in its pre-production black than the actual finished production colors.
https://piped.kavin.rocks/watch?v=ECqi11cNtvo

>>9475419
Yeah, that's like, 1$ worth of filament. 1$ of electricity and 15 minutes in CAD

can any of these chink clones take real nintendo buttons and membranes, third party buttons ALWAYS feel like ass, main reason I steer clear of these devices.

>>9476771
u wot m8? these buttons and d-pads are dramatically better than the trash nintendo used in the past as well as what they use in the present.

>"Etsy offsets carbon emissions from shipping and packaging on this purchase."
alright, so $20 + tip. very cool.

>>9476156
I'm sorry I meant RG353P. I can never get the fucking names right.

>>9476514
I would agree with you but the DS scaling doesn't cause me to sperg out like you.

However, to be fair, it is the easiest fucking mod on Earth and it is so goddamn easy to get ROMs for it.

I'll be honest, one of my favorite games for on DS is Picross 3D via Twilight Menu. Completely jenky game but it's such a good puzzle game.

Anyway to each their own. If you can find a 3DS cheap locally, fuck yeah go for it. Even if it's the 'New' 3DS, it would be a win.

However if you're a data hoarder like me and hoard ROM sets, I think the RG353P is the better choice for now in terms of overall feel and use, especially with SNES cause it just feels right.

>>9476506
>>9475561
I did some reserch today, could get new lg 50/x8s localy for about 150 bucks. Both run PS2 emulation at full speed. Also looked at gamesir x2 and Razer kishi controllers, gamesir is more switchlike, looks decent. So about 200 bucks for God portable PS2 emulation. I have gone crazy with chink handhelds over past few weeks, didnt know what to pick.

>>9476771
Why not just get a USB C controller for your phone then? Honestly the USB C option for no lag might be what you want.

Otherwise they don't really make controllers that hot swap like that. You're better off just getting a multicart and playing on the real system or just get a USB controller for your PC.

>>9476808
I heard the version 2 of the Gamesir and the Razer Kishi are more superior. Don't settle for the V1 if you're going the phone route. Sure you might be paying for it now, but honestly if you keep up with phones plus a carrier you might be better off with going the phone route going forward.

t. got a really good deal on a Google Pixel phone from our carrier when I went in to buy a new phone for my wife.

I am blown away on how much better emulators have gotten better on phones. The fucking phone runs N64 10x better than even the RG353P I have on the Android side.

I'm convinced that you should never get these handhelds unless you want to play PS1 and below. Otherwise they're a total consumer fest and a waste of money.

Glad I took the phone pill now though. My wife would fucking kill me. Plus I stacked all the handhelds I currently have plus modded ones aka a RG353P, RG351V, modded Switch, and the phone.

I think you reach a point where enough is enough imo.

>>9476820
>Plus I stacked all the handhelds I currently have plus modded ones aka a RG353P, RG351V, modded Switch, and the phone.
what happened after you stacked them?

>>9476826
his wife's bull came in and knocked them all over.

>>9476826
Horrible ESL tier shitty phrasing. I meant had them near the night stand.

That's when it hit me that I kind of have too many of them imo.

>>9476841
I will admit though, having them near me in bed while relaxing has helped me get through the last two weird shitty weeks.

Work's good but damn man, school via this bootcamp shit is rough since my instructor is an unhelpful fuckbag. Trying to just finish up and get through though.

Pretty nice to just grab a handheld i configured and either look at the Favorites or Last Played.

I really do like how OnionOS implemented the pick up and play ideas and the simultaneous two games at once. I wish JELOS and AmberElec did that hence I would only want maybe a Miyoo Mini and that's it honestly.

>>9476841
Yeah, I have my RP3+, Deck, Vita 2k, and phone on my nightstand and it bugs me.

>>9476847
>I would only want maybe a Miyoo Mini and that's it honestly.

>>9476762

Well I dont have a 3d printer so what do you suggest exactly?

>>9476905
>Currently going through that thought process with the 353M
This but with the 353P even though I'd probably just end up using my RP3+ more. I just think it looks really nice, ergonomic build, nice 4:3 screen, rare stacked shoulder buttons from Anbernic.

>>9476924
>You will meet Pikachu here and begin the adventure of the Trainer

Lol. Doesn't look that special. Anyone know if the Anbernic RG353V style triggers are good? Probably the only thing it has going for it.

Otherwise still:
>No method of changing to 2 games on the fly like OnionOS
>No easy way to just jump in to the last save state like OnionOS without probably doing serious menu diving and hoping it's there

>>9477010
I have an Anbernic RG353P and it is miles better than the piece of shit "Premium" hunk of metal that was the RG351MP I sold a few months ago.

Night and day difference plus the D pad feels like a fucking Super Nintendo and the stacked shoulder buttons are awesome.

>>9477038
>the D pad feels like a fucking Super Nintendo
that's a big negative for me if true.

>>9477039
The one on mine has quite a bit more depth, springiness, and responsiveness so I'm not sure what he's talking about.

>>9477039
Hold on. Just felt it again. It's like a way more moveable one. It's nice dude. I know what you mean. Not like stiff like the older SNES controllers.

It's great for fighting games too

t. had a blast playing Street Fighter III Third Strike yesterday on it.

>>9477035
I went full retard. Yeah they totally stole the quick save shit from the Miyoo Mini V2. Based. I like it's triggers more than the Miyoo Mini since the triggers on the mini look like garbage.

>>9477035
why do you need to change between 2 games on the fly? lol. even my v90 has the jump in to the last save state. cope and seethe miyoofag

>>9477067
The idea is "Why not?".

Stupid changs have finally tried to keep up.

>>9477073
plus its a device that hasnt even been released and could get cfw to do it. its not like miyoo came with that ability

>>9477075
Thats if the JELOS or ArkOS teams give a shit about it. We'll see.

apparently you can buy the RG353M sticks here when they restock and drop them into your RP3 (or probably any other chinkheld using similar sticks) pretty easily.
https://www.aliexpress.us/item/2255800940790172.html?

my snes games look like shit on 353m unless I use RGA scaling on arkos, which I dont like. Suggestions?

>>9466171
update i went with a new 3ds, paid for it on the 7th, its already in the states one day and a half after paying for it

>>9477820
Watch retrogamecorps review on YT

>>9477827
no

>>9477820
it runs all 3 consoles great

>>9476969
Not to downplay your purchase or anything, I just think it's way overpriced. Most people don't know how 3d printing works and the sellers can charge extra just because it has the "3D printed" label.
ib4 they charge for their designs.
That's why I specified a blocky grip like the one pictured looks like 15 minutes in CAD, if not blender.
You can look around if someone around you does printing services. Just send them a model you found online and get the thing you want much cheaper.

I fucked up flashing an sd, someone knows how to get back to the start removing the partition created by the OS?

>>9476793
Other dual os model are rad but costs a lot, sadly. I'm satisfied with 351P, i hope it will last over time

>>9477338
Is there something wrong with the RP3 analogs?

>>9477954

I bought it fully knowing that the seller was using pennies of material to make it. Not a big deal to me. I've searched for local 3D printing places but I don't live in a very big city so they haven't caught up with the rest of the world.

I think 3D printing is pretty niche right now and no one, around the place I live at least, doesn't realize or see the utility of it yet.

>>9477785
Look up guides on how to change it over to be a USA 3DS. It's possible but from the guide I briefly read like 2 years ago, it's a very specific process in the jailbreaking process. Good luck Anon.

t. only have am older 3DS XL, wish I could have scored a 'New' one cause the right tit pad looks great for Majora's Mask etc instead of having to use the Circle Pad Pro.

>>9477954
One could argue "Maybe your local library has a 3D printer" or "Maybe your local college has one".

Chances are they don't and the cost to entry to get a non super complicated to setup Non Chinese 3D printer is too much of a barrier to entry for most people.

t. always considered to get these grips for my RG351V from that Etsy dude. Not a bad deal for $20 vs paying $300 for some 3D printer I will literally never use.

>>9478118
Yeah the dual OS model only helps greatly with PSP performance and slightly better N64 performance. Also helps if you wanted some obscure emulators on Android or even weirder Android apps like virtual machine stuff for Windows 98 etc (Yes it's possible. You can even do this via DOSBox as well)

It's just easier sometimes with just an Android app.

>>9478390
it also make an easier media player on it

>>9474392
Chang sells chinkhelds. Chang assembles decks but steam is not chinese anon

>>9477820
>can a steamdeck handle gamecube/ps2/dreamcast fine?
At that price point you bet it does, but still some of that specs are pretty overkill for 6th gen emulation, i know it's not retro you can also play some switch games, which does make the specs it use more worth it.

>>9478492
Doesn't matter. Chinese fuckers need to learn to listen. It's one thing to constantly repurpose old parts for new products but they are in total control of what the designs could end up being.

Aka just use stacked triggers going forward. Is that so fucking hard to do?

>>9478530
The screen on the Deck blows. Even so you can just get a phone with a controller if you're that much of an idiot that wants to max out 3D games.

That hunk of shit will be worthless in 2 years. I only like the Deck so that more fags beta test SteamOS so I can boot into it later on an actual desktop PC and reap the benefits for free.

The fact that you need a fucking backpack to carry that thing is ridiculous. They were better off making some kind of dock device for a cheaper price.

>>9478629
You're still not going to be able to use the handy dedicated wattage and clockspeed toggles on your desktop as they are far from that. And making any sort of Steam Machines 2.0 given the flop they had with the original was going to be impossible so the only way to win back confidence was to fill the niche of a powerful handheld. They will scale down the power aspect in the next handheld, probably not go semicustom and use a laptop chip and just make the other aspects like the screen OLED and etc. It's also not like at some point, mods will appear for it by reusing some sort of smartphone OLED screen and etc.

>>9478629
I agree the Deck is too big, but you've gotten carried away with the criticism. You certainly don't need a backpack to carry it. I'm guessing your real concern is it's not pocketable?
>They were better off making some kind of dock device for a cheaper price.
It already is a dock device. If you mean they should turn it into a cheaper micro desktop by stripping the screen and battery to save $50, then maybe some people would like that. Personally I got it because I wanted a handheld, even if I would like it to be smaller. I'd rather just use my other PCs if I'm going to play "docked".

>>9476924
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IK657dUPoQQ

>>9478762
Still would get the Miyoo Mini

>>9478762
My 351V already feels like it's almost too small, I can't imagine using something even smaller.

>>9479281
It's not that much smaller, it'll probably feel the same since the sticks are gone and gives you more room. Now the Miyoo Mini on the other hand is a bit too small to be comfortable. Not as bad as meme handhelds like the FunkeyS but teetering on that line.

I honestly think anything more demanding than Neo Geo is better served by a laptop and a controller than a handheld but that's just my gay opinion

>>9460589
>RG353M
>'uhh, it's heavy'
doesn't sound like a con to me

>Steam Deck
>Miyoo Mini
all I need

I've had my 353p for four months and I think it is the best feeling handheld.

>>9479408
It is if you want to carry it in your pants pocket. When I had an RG350M, it was really uncomfortable and felt like I was walking around with a brick.

>>9479414
Me too bro

>>9479415
This. Most fags who defend the RG351MP will say it's not heavy. But it is.

>>9479428
I'm not saying it isn't heavy, I'm saying that I like that it's heavy.

>>9479430
Sure I get it. I found it to be physically tiring in the hands as gay as that sounds.

Idk I felt so ripped off but I learned a lesson: never buy these fucking things in the first 3 months. Wait 6 months+ and see if CFW shows up. If not then debate again.

Again, only thing I debate is that Miyoo Mini but even my wife is like "That's so tiny. Why would you want that?" Followed by me saying it would be neat for Pokemon or tactical RPGs etc. Only reason id get one personally.

>>9478381
I dont think i need to you can just use luma locale and i kinda always wanted to go on the japan eshop so i will leave it for now

>>9479839
Gotcha. My original personal intent was to get the LL version from Japan aka the 'New' one since eBay prices were fucking stupid for the American ones and I wanted to just change it over to the American side cause I don't buy games, I just download them.

>>9479874
Yeah i already have a n3dsxl but its age is showing hard, and i had alot of good times with it so i want this random 3ds from japan to be my beater 3ds i guess so i can let the other one rest

>>9479434
>>9479428
Maybe try not heaving weak hands
I'm happy with mine and I really like the solid feel of the metal shell even though it's obviously overpriced

>>9479428
lmao, you must be 90 lbs

What's the best way to emulate and play ds/3ds games?
Computers lack touch screen and are unwieldy. Phones are weak, lack physical buttons but have touch screen. Retro handhelds are still weak but at least have buttons and sometimes touchscreen.
Note: a real 3ds is impossible to get here nowadays.

>>9480624
>Phones are weak

>>9480631
Within reasonable price range.
Of course a high end 2000 usd gaming phone is going to perform better than an ordinary pixel 4

Mostly on a phone, using a SN30 pro. But my main daily driver laptop is a GPD Win Max running ganoo linucks.

>>9480643
>>9480624
>Of course a high end 2000 usd gaming phone is going to perform better than an ordinary pixel 4
Any 200$ chinkphone from Xiaomi is going to crush your average dedicated handheld when it comes to Gamecube or Switch emulation. If its performance for 3DS or anything beyond DC is what you're after, just use a fucking phone.

t. handheld enjoyer

>>9480584
No but I use my hands for dev stuff for work. Even so, I don't want to have to carry around a 5lb weight in my hands. Plastic handhelds always feel better to me.

>>9480643
My s21 cost 300 used in like new condition.

>>9480663
I wish the price for this thing would be around $300. I don't see this justifiable as a $700 machine when it's a glorified Windows toy (sure you can run Linux but let's be real, are you really going to be doing terminal workflows on that dinky thing?)

>>9480808
>I wish the price for this thing would be around $300. I don't see this justifiable as a $700 machine
I paid 400€ for mine
>>9480808
>(sure you can run Linux but let's be real, are you really going to be doing terminal workflows on that dinky thing?)
yes

>>9480889
>yes
But then 75% of the time I use it hooked up to a monitor, with mouse and keyboard, like a regular laptop. Even for that it's pretty cool because it supports passthrough charging, which most of these Chink handhelds don't.

>>9480892
Oh interesting. So it's dockable. Now that would be cool in that respect since you can't install whatever OS you want on the Steam Deck plus the deck doesn't come with a keyboard.

makes me angry so many people actually collect these noname cheap chinese knockoffs if youre gonna be addicted to collecting something how about you collect something worthwhile not this pointless garbage? you cant resell it and the next one does what the previous one already did. when i see a thread like this it helps make sense of all the nonsense in this world and the people behind them making atrocious decisions. *spits in disgust*

>>9480949
Yeah to be fair it actually is almost impossible to resell them on eBay. For whatever reason since they think you're adding an SD card filled with a ton of ROMs ( which let's admit most of us do anyway) they will take your fucking eBay post down because of copyright strikes.

No joke I had to repost a fucking Anbernic RG351MP probably because of some Chang main lander getting pissed that I was reselling his stupid fucking product from AliExpress on eBay instead.

The only goal for this type of collecting is to "find the one that fits you". Honestly I think the whole niche is okay UP to the PS1. Past that, just use a phone + controller.

Also you're spending like around $150 each time if you get a small SD card and a maxed out SD card for all your ROMs for each device so there's an extra $20 to $40 right there on top of probably the near $100 with shipping.

Not to downplay this thread but I think it's just better to lurk and not consume as much as these Changs want you too.

Even for the Retroid Pocket, I guarantee you that the "max" edition coming out in a year from now will be probably their best one so hold yourself over with some stupid Miyoo Mini or a lower tier Anbernic device until then.

>>9480976
*Repost the same eBay listing over three times until it was quickly sold thankfully.

>>9480976
>the near $100 with shipping

Never heard of this. The most I've paid for shipping was $16 recently with the RP3+. Every other chink handheld has been free shipping.

>>9480949

people buy stupid shit all the time that's subjectively worse than these handhelds. But THIS is the thing that gets your almonds milked? Get a life, dude.

>>9480949
I keep selling shit off so I can justify buying more, feels disgusting tbqh. At least I'm not this cunt.

>>9480976
Just sell it without roms
That's what I did, had no issue selling it

I want to get a RG353v.
Convince me, otherwise.

>>9479434
>Idk I felt so ripped off but I learned a lesson: never buy these fucking things in the first 3 months. Wait 6 months+ and see if CFW shows up. If not then debate again.
Looks like it's the case for the RG35XX. I was going to buy but after watching the review and seeing how bad the stock firmware is made me rethink before buying.

this nigga bought ouya

>>9481375
vertical form factor is retarded and you don't need it.

>>9481417
cheapest best handheld to buy wat do u reccomend

How’s SNES emulation on the PSP? The chart had it as equivalent to the Vita but that sounded plain silly.

>>9481489
wat the biggest sd card u can buy

I don't have any handheld. Could you guys rate your handhelds in order of comfortability? How happy are you with the ergonomics? how long before your hands get tired?

>>9481508
It's worse than on Vita. From what I've played, SMW plays completely fine but some romhacks might not work. Super Metroid has slight graphical issues but other than that seems to work perfectly fine. DKC required compromises like using frameskip or disabling vsync. Super Castlevania IV works fine but is barely playable in the areas using Mode 7 effects. LTTP works perfectly fine.

>>9481529
Only ones I've found really comfortable are the PSP and PS Vita, from chink handhelds I've only have had RG351P which isn't bad and Miyoo Mini which obviously isn't very comfortable. If you want a 3DS I'd say they all suck when it comes to ergonomics, except maybe the original 2DS but I never had that one.

>>9481529
On my Deck, RP3+, and Vita 2K I can play endlessly without my hands ever getting tired unless I'm playing the Deck in bed, in which case I'd say about 5 hours because of the weight. On my RP2+, I'd guesstimate maybe 3 hours. On my Odin Lite I couldn't even make it an hour into playing before massive hand cramps. I can't remember what the limit was for my Vita 1k, but it definitely was not as comfy as the 2k.

The Powkiddy RGB10 Max 2 and RG503 both look really comfy, I'd love to buy them cheap one day to try them out.

>>9481007
No dude. Base price is $100 for the unit with maybe $10 to $20 for shipping is what I meant

>>9481054
If you kept it to like "Ok I have one small mini one. I have a vertical one. I have a horizontal one. And lastly I have a Switch derivative" I'd understand.

But having two verticals and literally the shit tier RG503 makes me ask why?

>>9481375
If you don't have any of these systems, I think it's cool for the Gameboy and Gameboy Color form factor. Otherwise if you're not even into Gameboy or Gameboy Color, I think the RG353P is better.

>>9481401
Damn. The one comment put it perfectly. It's Anbernic's take on the Gameboy Pocket.

Kind of like how Retroid Pocket colors have always had the color scheme of Gameboy Pocket's yellow color or the GBA indigo.

That aside, the standard firmware looks like trash. A hard pass. Then again Miyoo Mini's stock firmware blowed too so you never know.

If I were debating anything in that form factor or price range, I'd either go for the Miyoo Mini V2 anyway or pony up and just get the RG353V instead.

>>9481529
RG353P is my favorite in terms of form factor and comfortability. RG351V is good just for Gameboy and Gameboy Color games but the trigger buttons are dumb imo.

The collective idea of "1 or a few systems" really does apply on most use cases. Sounds dumb but I'd rather play Gameboy type games on the vertical type ones and everything else on the horizontal ones.

>>9481562
Yeah I felt the original 2DS in store when it came out. I wanted to hate it but something about it just felt right. Especially when I realized I never used the dumb 3D gimped effects of the 3DS that required a certain viewing angle on the older model / drained battery for barely any purpose.

I think the 2DS was like around $50 which is awesome comparatively, and I think it was bundled with Mario Kart 7 for like $70 which was cool.

>>9481685
Also it's like $20 for a decent SD card thats reputable / big enough for giant ROM sets. Some people don't do this but I like hoarding games personally and favoriting things to play later.

I kind of just keep 1 device per game nowadays though and just have it set to return to "Last Played" in AnberElec and JELOS respectively.

best flash cart for GBA?

>>9460589
I would really like a device with the form factor of the Powkiddy v90 but with the specs of the RG351. Recently picked up a v90 on discount and it's really comfy but it would be nice if it could run emuelec.

>>9460589
GB Link's Awakening on the Vita and I am fucking annoyed that my Air Pods constantly disconnect. I am playing this on the train and I do not want to hear other people, I also want to hear the music of the game so wtf?
Is that a known Vita bug or does Retroarch cause this? Actually my Airpods just work fine so I do not know why it fucks up so hard on the Vita. Super annoying.

>>9481832
EZ Flash Omega Definitive Edition is the one I'm looking at getting.

>>9481897
>v90 on discount
How cheap did you manage to get it?

>>9481916
exact same problem. never found a solution beyond plugging headphones in.

>>9481832
>>9481926
That one is good and cheap compared to the everdrive.
But If you also pretend to use in a DS Lite I recommend to get the normal version of the EZ Flash Omega. It comes with two types of cartridges and one of them fits perfectly in the DS Lite cartridge slot without sticking out. To bad the Definitive Edition doesn't come with that cartridge.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqqqUkBNeYo

>>9481948
buuuuuuuuuuuut does it only happen for Retro Arch so that I can pin point it as a retro arch problem?
I mean I do not really play Vita games because -excuse me- the Vita has no games olololol but seriously I am wondering if only Retro Arch causes this and if it would help if I were to update it.
I am running a super old version of retro arch where the background is dark blue and the text is yellow and I actually think it is super comfy Vs the "new" design.

Interesting to hear that I am not the only one but I do no even own wired headphones, just really really massive ones and the great thing about the vita is that I can easily put it in my pocket but not those studio headphones with their 3 or even 4 metre cable which is just in the fucking way.

>>9461136
thanks doc

Upgraded to 353m from 351m and games really dont look better, flickery pixels and and sprites tend to loook uneven.

>>9482312
it's the same screen innit? how do you like the weigh and shape difference?

>>9460589
been playing fire emblem romhacks on my rg351m, this thing is in the perfect sweetspot for handheld stuff imo

>>9482323
Theyre different types of screens with different ratio, its a nice build and feels way less chunky than 351m. But nothing looks pixel perfect on this new one, I've been digging around arkos settings for days trying different settings and settings within other emucores and not much luck.

>>9481417
Vertical is based though
>best button layout
>makes your hands less tired over long play sessions (if it is big enough)
>more ergonomic to look at compared to looking between your hands
Those are all minor though but I like it. They usually have bad shoulder button placement but that is due to the chinese hating stacked shoulder buttons. Real patrician is a flip design a la gba sp

>>9482334
Which hacks? Tell me you played the cringe romhack the guy made for his friends wedding right?
https://feuniverse.us/t/fe8-fire-emblem-vows-of-fate-complete-v1-2/16120

>>9482513
Has anyone even tried doing stacked shoulder buttons on a vertical handheld before?

I wish we could get more of this button layout / form factor

>>9482312
wtf is happening in this photo

>>9481565
>On my Odin Lite I couldn't even make it an hour into playing before massive hand cramps.
Really? That doesn't sound good. I want a handheld with decent specs but also having it comfy to hold.

>>9482595
This one could have been good but the dpad looks shit and I think the button quality was lacking too.

>>9482658
Agreed. Looks like a cat cafe shopped with a table of pizza. There's no way you can have that many cats sleeping in a row unless they're sedated.

>>9482658
Cats waking up from surgery in a veterinary clinic that just ordered pizza for lunch.
I guess

Installed Onion on Miyoo Mini, worked out pretty fine then I went and carried over all my roms and nothing is showing up even after refreshing through the Miyoo. What the fuck did I do wrong? I followed the install guide to a T.

>>9482886
>he fell for the mini meme
WE GOT ANOTHER ONE BOYS

>>9483003
Yeah it's a piece of shit, I played with it with the default card for 2 weeks and it's way too small to comfortably play. Pretty sure I bricked it, formatting the SD card the slow way to make sure, last time it just booted to a black screen and I had to disconnect the battery to get it to turn off after 10 minutes.

>>9483009
it's basically just a "load up basic-bitch pokemon game and take photo to post on social media before shelving again" machine.

>>9483009
I could get used to the size if not for the fact the shoulder buttons are borderline unusable.

>>9483080
I refuse to play anything on it that utilizes shoulder buttons, the way you have to contort your hands to get to them momentarily pausing you in-game gets me killed often. There's 3D printed extenders for the shoulders sold online but I'm not committed enough to this thing to try them.

>>9482886
Well I got it figured out, turns out I was backing out of the install too early and waited 15 minutes instead of 10. Would've helped to have had some kind of GUI telling me it was actually doing something instead of just a fucking black screen. My Sandisk is somehow 5 times slower than the card that came with the handheld.

>>9483021
This. I only see people play RPGs and Pokemon on this thing. Not worth it for anything else unless its for a literal kid.

Also I found you can buy triggers for the Miyoo Mini on Etsy:
https://www.etsy.com/listing/1262653257/better-shoulder-buttons-for-miyoo-mini

Apparently there are 3D printing services that are cheap too:

>>9481375
the transparent purple actually looks good in this pic

>>9481685

I'm honestly not sure what stating the price of things is doing exactly. What argument are you trying to make here?

Anyone who buys these kinds of handhelds are aware of the gimmick and are aware that they probably have a smartphone that can do just as well or better than the chinkboys.

>upfront cost plus shipping plus SD card cost

Yup. Yup. Majority of people are aware of this. Not sure what your point is. The RP3+, for instance, comes with 128 of storage by default so most people aren't going to bother with extra storage. At least I'm not. Matter of fact, I'm bought a mini-HDMI cord so I can play it on my TV which cost me $16 AND I plan to replace the membranes and buttons at some point. Again, added cost I'm prepared for.

I can't imagine many people just buying these handhelds willy-nilly for the fuck of it. They're very niche and appear to a very specific kind of person.

>>9483470
>appear

Appeal.

>>9482312

Depends on what filters. It seems like the same screen. If the sprites/pixel are uneven trying messing with the bi-linear filtering settings in retroarch.

Rule of thumb is that you upgrade your handheld if 1. it breaks 2. you want a bigger screen. 3. you want to emulate more powerful consoles.

Fortunate you didn't brick anything.

Enjoy it, Anon. Post pics if you can.

>>9460903
>Wish I had bought an RP3+ instead
I was about to order a Miyoo mini and never heard of Retroid until your post. You saved me.

Though it says preorder but the ship date was last month? Just a restock wait?

>>9483703
They're just saying that to cover their ass over the fact purchases aren't shipping next day. Previously it was like a month wait time between ordering one and receiving one, but apparently they're going a lot faster now because chink coof restrictions being relifted or something. Still not "ship next day" fast though.

>>9483709
I see, well at least its shipping. Thanks for the info.

Controllers only $10 a pop might grab two.

>>9483712
>Controllers only $10 a pop might grab two.
holy shit that's a good deal unless it breaks in 2 months or something. post impressions once received if you get them.

Any third party apps for Onion OS that aren't listed on the Onion Github? ffplay is pretty cool, got me wondering what else people have achieved on these little minis, a flash player emulator would be tits.

>>9483737
Will do. Just ordered clear purple to match my GBC and two controllers.

>>9483868
Enjoy m8. I got the transparent blue, and the plastic texture on these are much better than the slick ones on the non-transparent colors.

>>9481375

Im getting one for christmas i really miss playing on a vertical console and the 2gb version runs lots of dreamcast games smoothly, also i mostly will use it for snes and gba but would love to play some dreamcast beat em ups

>>9460589
Is it safer to order Anbernic devices on AliExpress than the official site? The only time I ordered one was from the official site and it showed up with a broken screen and had to spend weeks dealing with bullshit to get them to replace it, but I don't know if Ali is any better at resolving defects and issues like that.

>>9484258
Yeah, apparently Ali is pretty good at keeping sellers in check and offering refunds themselves in the worst case scenario. Anbernic doesn't want to get on their bad side.

>>9483847
I'm hot and cold with this fucking thing, Onion OS was cool a few hours ago until I looked at it funny and now everything except gameboy ROMS won't get acknowledged. The video player worked and now it's not recognizing any files in the same folder. I'm totally fucking stumped and google isn't helping anymore. Wish I just stayed on the factory OS, it was simple & just worked.

>>9484263
Cheers.

>>9484278
If all you want to do is play games AmberElec is nice and "just works" but I don't know anything about other apps or video players or the like.

>>9483703
The Miyoo Mini is good, no regrets there. I was saying that I wished that I had gotten an RP3+ instead of an RG505.

>they already made a + version of the RP3 and still didn't fix the shitty button placements
What a monumental waste of what could've been a great device.

>>9484483
Fair point, but the RP3+ is more what i was looking for.

>>9483471
gay correction.

Went back to factory OS on Miyoo Mini. Onion OS is fucking garbage with a dozen different contradictory installation instructions, it's too easy to corrupt something and software brick the entire system. I wasted an entire weekend trouble shooting and just gave up, not worth it for the hipster skins or whatever the fuck.

>>9484258
Make sure you check the 'Sold' amount next to the listing. A reputable seller will typically have 50+ items sold for a decent one.

Also check and gauge the price range of typical items being sold do you make sure you're not getting ripped off. Aka for ex: do not pay $90 for a Miyoo Mini when it's supposed to be $40 to $60 etc on AliExpress if you track the item each week throughout the week.

I mention the whole price range thing because they can either overcharge you or have "a really good deal" which equivalates to a scam since the item will never ship or you'll get a PM stating "Dear friend (we don't have that item) etc"

I haven't had that happen to me yet but I've read some have had it happen here.

If you're ever unsure just copy and paste the link into this thread and ask for someone to vet it out to get a second opinion etc.

>>9484352
Dude is talking about Miyoo Mini which you can't put AmberElec on because Anbernic =/ Miyoo Mini's creators. He only has the option between stock firmware and OnionOS.

I don't have a Miyoo Mini but if you already flashed it once, maybe there's some way you can flash it back to the stock firmware.

That or maybe there's a better nightly build of OnionOS.

I too am being slightly oblivious here but am trying to think of ideas on how you can fix this so bear with me.

Only thing I can think of is have you tried a different SD card? Did you make sure to get a SanDisk SD card and not get a shitty off brand SD card or also make sure if it was a LEGIT SanDisk SD card?

I mention this because I ALMOST got scammed for a fake SanDisk SD card on Amazon but noticed from the reviews that there's some shitty resellers that are slapping SanDisk logos onto knockoff SD cards, so make sure to watch out for that bullshit.

>>9484494
They already leaked plans for the Retroid Pocket 4 and it will have I think 3 "versions" for next year. For Retroid's release cycle I would personally hold out until the last minute until maybe December 2023 since they fucked over a ton of people by "surprising" consumers with releases.

They didn't do this in the past since they were on schedules to announce "+" versions of their handhelds in advance with related upgrade kits but now they're starting to do the Anbernic route and not giving a single fuck about the consumer.

>>9484793
Well to be fair, at least you tried. That's pretty damn admirable. I would akin this to a similar scenario like if you learned how to install Linux on a laptop and didn't like it but realized there might be a better distro for your use case.

In this case you liked the vanilla setup and that's fine and there's nothing wrong with that. Tinkering is one thing but to be fair, once I get a handheld the way I want it, I just resort to favorites, using a "random" button to pick a random game, or sticking with a single game from start to finish but mostly just for "having fun".

If you're not having fun then there's always something else to do.

Idk I have found these things to be super useful in places like airports or airplanes that are inherently boring and have such long waiting times.

>>9484927
>>9484793
Nice yeah I would have done the same. Just make it easy and how you want it to be.

The only cool benefit I've seen from OnionOS is the two game switching and cartridge mode. Love the concepts and wish AmberElec and JELOS made it super easy to "just do it" without having to do so many menu dives to maybe pull off that workflow.

is there something pocket sized that can handle everything up to the PS1 and Dreamcast that I can buy on a budget? I have a hacked vita, and while decent the emulation on GBA games and certain Snes games has some hiccups. It also can’t go near Dreamcast or Saturn emulation and doesn’t really fit comfortably into the pocket.

When do new handhelds typically get announced? The Odin and the Ayaneo Air interest me the most, but then there's the Aya Geek and the Ayn Loki in the works. Some people always say "Wait for the new models", but there's so much choice its almost overwhelming.
At least if you want to pay for something more anyways, I dont want to pay for cheap or super small stuff either.

>>9484952
You gotta be specific about your budget. If it's pocket sized for up to PS1, Miyoo Mini.

Budget friendly is not good for Dreamcast or Saturn imo. You'll probably have to shell out $200 for a device that could do this nicely (not recommending Retroid Pocket 3+ cause the start and select button positioning is gay imo).

For higher 3D stuff for what you want, I would honestly go the phone + Razer Kishi V2 controller route imo but thats just me.

>>9484989
Pretty sure you have to stalk their social media to figure out when their Kickstarter bullshit kicks in.

Haven't considered the Aya ones or Odin ones but am pretty sure one of them is heavily dependent on gay crowdfunding to the point where if you didn't back them in some gay crowdfunding run, you'll get ripped off price wise.

Personally, just watch "Retrogamecorps" or "Taki Udon" on YouTube as they usually have the better performance per cost ratio type review videos on what you can get out of a handheld vs what you paid etc.

Also imo, if you could wait, I would either hold out until the next major Steam Deck release as I think that would be a better win if you got the money for it.

If not, then just go the phone plus controller route.

Bought a 353V because the Miyoo are going double their price and never stock the black ones.

What should I do with it whence it arrives apart from sticking it into my ass?

>>9485101
You could try cramming it.

>>9485101
Put JELOS onto the first SD card. Then when you feel like playing N64, take out the first SD card so it boots into Android and learn how to tweak MupenFZPro to run N64 games decently.

Make sure that when you're in Android mode to use the touch screen, swipe down, and apply the "CPU Boost" icon that's shaped like a processor since you're going to need the boost for emulation and it's not enabled by default so without it, it makes N64 appear sluggish.

Put some PC ports on it via Port Master. Compile Super Mario 64 PC port for the RG353V. Idk get creative, squeeze that machine to do everything and hoard ROM sets.

That all depends however if you got the Android capable one. If not, the Linux only one is gimped in comparison. And make sure you get a big SD card from a good brand like SanDisk or Samsung cause the default Chinese SD cards they give you are shit tier in the long run for reliability.

>>9485465

Oh yeah unironically look up Reddit /r/ROMs megathread and thank me later.

>Miyoo Mini.
$150 buckarooos for this... no thank you.

>>9485040
Dang. Really just looking to play sonic adventure 1 & 2 on the go but it sounds like I’ll have to wait. Old iPhones wouldn’t work would they?

I just bough DSi XL for yea DS games, I was thinking about playing GBA and SNES/NES games but GBA compatibility is 50/50 and SNES/NES resolution is little too big.
So im thinking about getting handheld for gba & snes games.
what do you recommend?
what I want...:
>IPS/OLED screen
>good pixel density
>nice buttons (at least one analog would be cool)
>fast game start, not waiting 1minute to boot up this shit
>good battery

is there something like this?
i was thinking about ps vita but idk about emulation on it.

>>9485902
RP3+ has all that except for a 30 second boot time but it's an android device so just keep it on and lock it when you're not using it.

>>9485908
>shipping 40$
shieeeeet
or 18$ but idk that 4PX

>>9485916
4PX is fine, I went with it for my RP2+, RP3, and RP3 without any issues. I'm also in burgerland though, I'm guessing since you're charged $18 for it instead of $15 that you're in yurp or something.

>>9485921
alright that retroid looking cool. when are they shipping? and which color to get.... hard question!

>>9485926
See >>9483709 for shipping. You definitely want a transparent color imo, aside from looking cooler they also have a nice subtle texture on the plastic you don't get with the flat colors. I went with the blue, but purple is fine too if you fancy that instead.

>280 bucks for a metal handheld with an RK3566 and awful shoulder buttons
lmao what a rip off
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=--7h5AXJe1s

>>9485972
This has got to be an elaborate false-flag by anbernig or something to make their metal prices look sane what the fuck

>>9485976
That's the retail price, it costs 150 during crowdfinding

>>9485902
I don't know if it's me, but I just cannot get retroarch to work well on the vita. The performance isn't the best and I also have troubles importing my saves. If you want a handheld for gba and snes, I'd go for the Retroid Pocket 3+.

Playing way too many rpgs on my win max 2. I need to pick one and stick to it. For /vr/ use it is great, I prefer the clamshell form factor and large screen, not to mention I like the dpad and having easy keyboard access is great for front end navigation. My complaints come in when using the left joystick, I don't find my natural grip point comfortable over long sessions when using the left joystick for precise movements. All this would be solved immediately if they just swapped the dpad and left joystick position. Still, I'm think I'm learning some alternative grips that solve my issue and I'm not opposed to printing a grip if need be.

>>9485728
Where are you looking that it's 3x the price? Get it from the official Ali store.

>>9484278
>>9484352
>>9484927
Yeah sorry I'm a retard and meant Mini UI, got my devices mixed up.

>He only has the option between stock firmware and OnionOS.
Nope. Mini UI is available and it's great. Don't have to fiddle with anything and 99% of the games I've tried "just work" with no issues at all.

>>9486124
I guess I might be being a bit forgetful saying you don't have to fiddle with anything. You don't HAVE to but it's worth checking the Advanced options for how you want the games to scale or filter, but it's still nothing compared to the hassle other firmwares on these things tend to require.

Can you make these just autoboot into RetroArch? All the other shit just gets in the way, I don't want an abstraction layer sitting on top, just out me in fucking RetroArch so I can more easily access and change settings how I want them

>>9485728
This is what I said earlier. You most likely have to buy from AliExpress and literally stalk that page throughout the week.

You found a price gouging seller. Ignore those.

Not meaning to be pro Miyoo Mini but it might be good in your use case.

However if you're a Euro fag with weird shipping etc, not sure what to do. My advice is valid if you're a US burger.

>>9485792
I wouldn't emulate on iOS devices. It's possible but man you gotta really know your tech shit to pull it off. Plus the major exploits to jailbreak those devices are done by literally one dude.

Almost got it working once on an iPad but if retro emulation is your thing, stick to Android phones if you're going the phone route.

A lot of dudes say the Xiaomi chink android smartphones are good if you can get them used around $100 to $200. However a good Razer Kishi V2 controller is like $50 to $80, but it's USB C so there's no input lag etc and it looks pretty fucking solid.

You can also check out the Odin handhelds or the Aya Neo devices. They might have the performance you're looking for regarding Sega Saturn and Dreamcast but honestly I don't know since I haven't looked into it personally.

All I'm saying is be prepared to shell out near $200 to $300+ for a device or phone + controller setup for the workflow you want.

>>9485902
Random idea but do you have a Nintendo Switch from the original 2 years of launch? An idea I thought of is to just mod one via the softmod hack and just put Android on it with emulators frontends.

Not sure how to handle the OLED request cause I don't give that much of a shit about the panels. Even on the same idea, you can probably hack a Nintendo Switch OLED edition but I think those require hardware mod chips.

For your use case despite the gay screen requirement thing, I'd say look into the Anbernic RG353P.

It's a comfy device and fucking awesome for SNES and GBA which is what I personally use it for. Imagine a very modern take on a Super Nintendo controller with stacked shoulder buttons and very good dpad and buttons.

If you're going the Anbernic route for any of their devices, always get the one thats Android AND Linux compatible, not just Linux compatible.

Reason being is that the ability to boot into Android is really nice if you want better N64 or PSP performance later etc.

>>9485926
Transparent colors look cool as fuck in terms of N64 funtastic controller colors or even the Gameboy Color purple color is good.

I personally think the Yellow color is awesome since it reminds me of the yellow Gameboy Pocket.

>>9485983
Lol I doubt it will sell well. Why but that when the RG353V is better.

>>9486035
The Vita is a cool device but really only perfect for Vita and PSP games since it's direct hardware compatible.

I've seen shit tier SNES performance on YouTube which is funny since I've seen some pretty intense 3D game demos on Vita.

Probably just lack of optimization or interest.

>>9486113
Yeah sounds like a grip cover would be good.

Had the same experience with certain controllers personally.

For the endless game picking scenario, add stuff to favorites via a Emulation Station frontend for the device and just have it boot to the last game played or "Last Played" section.

That's how I've been hearing Shining Force CD.

Anyway I know how you feel.

t. hoards a fuck ton of ROM sets

>>9486124
Sweet didn't know about this. Thanks for letting me know.

>>9486276
>Probably just lack of optimization or interest.
This is really what it comes down to.
The Vita could have been a great handheld emulator, but it flopped hard. All the emulators are ports of ones that existed on PSP.

>>9486205
Not sure but I found a Plebbit thread that might help, check it out

https://www.reddit.com/r/RG350/comments/odo01j/boot_directly_into_retroarch/

>>9486296
Yeah, I gotta admit that the PS Vita did flop, in the end. However, it certainly didn't flop as hard as the the Bit Corp Gamate, Lynx, or the Jaguar, nor even the Dreamcast. Also, I don't really think that literally all emulators made for use on the Vita are basically ports in one way or another of those on the PSP. Yabause and Flycast on the Vita I don't think were ever on the PSP. Ditto for the Doom and Quake series sourceports.

Forgot to mention that it is probably the nicest feeling handheld I have ever used in my life. My bro has one and I was so damn impressed with it when he showed it to me, especially the back touch pad thing.

Apparently this thing can do game streaming via Moonlight so that's actually pretty cool, granted, if you had a couch in the same room as your home internet router plus a long as Cat 7 cable lol

The KT-R1.
It has IPS screen. 432.67 PPI. 3:2 aspect ratio(great for GBA games). 7500/7800 mAh bettery.

If you don't want something that expensive, get a RG351P or RG351M if you really want to play GBA games. They have 3:2 aspect ratio which is great for GBA games.

Why did he change the shoulder buttons, it would have been perfect.

>Apparently this thing can do game streaming via Moonlight
Literally everything with wifi can.
The fucking 3DS can do it.

>>9486706
Nope, get the RG353P.

The 351M and 351P are shit tier compared to the RG353P and is what the OP wants, and are way older / can't dual boot into Android.

Just get the RG353P

Ok bud, it's still a selling point when the Vita feels that comfortable to begin with.

I'd rather play a Vita than a 3DS any day of the week due to it being way more comfortable.

Here's the Loki redesign. Looks like they increased ergonomics at the expense of making it bigger and fucking ugly. The white would probably look better with black buttons/d-pad/sticks like the Odin but I can't be assed to shoop.

I'd really like one of these handheld PCs that ISN'T the anbernig 600 and is smaller than the Steam Deck to have the d-pad on top. Or at least give the option like that KT-R1 handheld, I wish that was a standard practice.

>>9487816
>>9487820
They're ditching the Vita style D-Pad on the Loki? Fucking gay.

>>9487112
If you already have a Vita, sure. But they go for $180 used. It's not worth it.

>>9488148
I totally agree. It's a worthless machine for emulation for sure. It's only worth it if you find a deal at a yard sale or something and like PSP or Vita games.

>>9487821
Looks comfortable.

Unlike this piece of shit with no stacked shoulder buttons

It doesn't look that bad, though I am admittedly worried about the D-pad.

Are there any GBA sized ones with an OLED screen?

>>9488264
The position of the d-pad looks a lot better at least.

>>9487923
It's the same size as the one on the Odin at least going off that pic, so I'm hoping it's still the same d-pad underneath. Melting away the center cross is still pretty unkino even if it is tho.

>>9488268
Sure. Let me call my buddy in 2030.

Bros I want handheld capable of playing up to ps1/n64 games
I need

> good buttons and analog(s)
> good battery
> good screen
What do you recommend?

Let's say max 100$. RP2+ looks cool but that right analog looks shitty AF, and those anbernic devices looks crappy.
Is there any hope?!

anyone here have ayn odin?

why these niggers didn't make more of those?!

yes quite a competitive category.

>>9488483
>>9488464
>60 units produced

>>9488414
>max $100
Only thing that can do N64 at that price is the RP2+. Right analog shouldn't matter much if you're just playing up to those systems anyways.
You might just be better off spending the extra money to get an RP3+ if you want a better right analog though.

>>9488495
and under 100$ without n64 emulation?

He might be better off with a 353VS, not sure how much I trust Powkiddy stuff at this point.
