Woah sick handheld bro. I was gonna say "Is that a Gamegear?" Sweet.

power has been out all fucking day
beat donkey kong land and skipped ahead to the gbc port of dkc

Wish there were a spreadsheet of games and how they perform on different devices/emulators.
So don’t have to load up and tweak shit for nothing

>>9495901
Unbelievably based

>>9495702
Playing Parasite Eve on the 351V. Not too far in yet, but I'm liking it so far. Threw some arcade stuff on it too, but I haven't messed around with much of that yet.
The only thing that's seriously tempting right now is a Steam Deck, but I'd rather not spend that much on something I might not end up using much. I'd be tempted to get a V90 just to mess around with if they were cheaper though.

>>9495702
what is that, looks like a cross between a neogeo p and a nomad

>>9495952
Bro just literally search for "emulator game compatibility list" + whatever emulator you are using. Realistically, it's going to really depend on what you're using.

Also, it's better to just search on Plebbit in /r/sbcgaming since some people have made lists for best emulator cores for RetroArch like this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/RetroArch/comments/ugdwsr/what_would_you_consider_the_best_cores_on/

Otherwise if you're trying to emulate shit like PS2 etc, just use standalone emulators on Windows. More times than not, the better performance is on Windoze as much as it kills me as more of a Linux guy myself.

Anyway, hope that taught you how to fish and not be a lazy fuck. It really is just a search away sometimes. It's not programin, it's literally just Vidya game consuming. More often, some retard has had the same problem then you.

You just have to look.

How do you like your 353P? I fell into the trap of collecting chink handhelds a few years ago and would rather have one device for all my stuff up to PSX.

>>9496238
https://www.youtube.com/@MultiGameSystem

Judging by a few interactions I've read on instagram, it's made by an extremely socially awkward autist who's not interested in selling it. It's almost literally "original hardware donut steel" but the guy does seem to be genuinely talented.

Hope some chinese retro clone dudes send him a cheque so I can get one.

>>9495702
I am kinda a sucker for purpose built devices based around one single system with themed menus and such.
AtGames came so fucking close, that shell with a good menu, an emulator that runs Gen, CD and maybe 32X and a better looking menu that lets you delete the internal games and it would have been golden. Maybe even a coaxial cable for connecting two handhelds for player 2.
Instead it's a Gen on a chip that can't save / quicksave, it sounds horrible, has an ugly menu and you need to put the games you add yourself on a second menu... trash.

>>9496274
>>9496404
Sorry, im apart from being an ESL i also am a fucking faggot.
What i was trying to ask was for a spreadsheet on several consoles running on chink devices. Whether a Miyoo Mini could run a Fate/Extra well or if an RG353P could run Soul Calibur decently

I want to lick a Turbo Express, they look so sexy

>>9497063
The best you will get is this
/spreadsheets/d/1irg60f9qsZOkhp0cwOU7Cy4rJQeyusEUzTNQzhoTYTU/
look at the Performance Rating and Grade for each system

>>9497113
Ah, quite exactly what i was looking for. Thank you so much, anon

>>9496426
Yeah I use it for everything including PSX. N64 runs ok on the Android side but not like amazing. It's perfect for PSX and everything below though. Feels awesome.

Literally best feeling handheld I own. Would get it if you could.

Only thing I debate nowadays is just getting a controller for my Pixel 7 these days. That's about it. Everything else looks like a scam if it's not around $40 to 60 hence I debate a Miyoo Mini sometimes.

More on the RG353P as well, I just figured out how to use .dosz for DOS games aka just rename them, stick them in the 'pc' folder and they boot just find with DOSBox Pure core on the device though they should up on the "IBM" collection on the theme I'm using (Probably cause IBM DOS etc)

>>9496557
Yeah it's perfect for SNES and Genesis. Cannot go wrong with it. Imagine how awesome the Super Nintendo controller was and add even way better buttons and d pad.

>>9497216
Ah, I kind of only use it for handheld systems

>>9496410
I'm jelly. If they release an upgraded version next year, I'll buy it.

Has the one to get been decided yet?

Completed Castelvania: Bloodlines, Super Castelvania IV and Rondo of Blood. Sega game is best part. Rondo too almost perfect, but I dont like secret levels and first form of Dracula. And number part is worst for me, its more platformer then action. Dracula is so imbalance, first form is insane. Its simalar with Rondo first Dracula form, but harder x4. Cant beat Draculas without savestates, I know, I am lame. But only in BL I can beat form, best playable.
BL - 10/10
SCIV - 8/10
RoB - 9.5/10
Starting Dracula X snes remake. Sorry for bad english.

Also, used hacked switch, soft: psnes, pgen and retroarch

> Castlevania
Fix

Just sold my RG351MP and the retroid pocket 3+ hasn't arrived yet.
Now it's just me, my old crusty RG350, my old crusty PSP and my old crusty GBC.

>>9497667
Sounds great, anon, but Dracula X is shitshow and don't believe anyone saying it isn't.

>>9497701
Why? Looking same with alternative locations. Wiki says for japs its noncanon semi sequel

>>9497704
Just get to Dracula and you will see...

>>9497325
Same difference. Just get it if you're on the fence for it. It's really good for GBA too.

If you're that big about the nostalgic form factor, RG353V is good too (not the RG353VS because you can only boot into Linux with that one. You can dual boot to Android and Linux on the RG353V)

>>9497487
That's a good idea. There's a good chance they might do that. If not, you can probably snag this for $20 cheaper at that point since they liquidate old models every other year.

>>9497632
Miyoo Mini if you're super cheap and want GBA and RPGs (normal ones, Pokemon, etc). Anbernic RG353P if you're a retro fag into SNES, Genesis, GBA. Anbernic RG353V if you want to play Gameboy and Gameboy Color for the form factor.

After that, just get a controller for your phone for everything else 3D based aka N64 onward. That or a Steam Deck. Everything else is a waste of time and money.

>>9497667
Sick. I really liked Bloodlines. I couldn't manage to really try to beat that game without save states either. I wasn't the best best at it but I remember it being super fun.

I think I'd go back to Harmony of Dissonance for GBA to finish that up since I was stuck at one part where I literally have every conceivable map square filled out yet couldn't find out where to go.

I contemplate the PSX version sometimes too as the artwork style and the overall weapon system looks so good.

>>9497678
Nice I have a hacked Switch as well. Are the emulators on it any good? I just use it for actual Switch games from time to time.

I'd be happy if I can get N64, SNES, and Genesis to work well on it.

>>9497696
I still hate the start and select button placement since I would contemplate playing the GBA Metroid games on it though you can probably just remap them to L2 and R2.

I think you made the right choice comparatively. I hated the RG351MP. Complete shit tier device.

>>9497754
>rg351mp
>complete shit
IT's a fantastic device and the best build quality one I've ever owned. And I've owned a LOT of these shitters.

>>9495702
Minor thing but I thought about it and think the creators of JELOS are huge faggots for not giving builds for releases.

If they were going to do that shit, they should have done it from the start so I could avoid that bullshit. What annoys me is that I will need to somehow hope to God that my favorites carry over to unofficial OS. If I'm not mistaken, since the second SD card in an RG353P houses ROMs etc, I am pretty sure the favorites is just an XML file there too so realistically I should just be able to reflash the first SD card containing the OS.

Has anyone else here upgraded to Unofficial OS and noticed if their favorites section carried over? I ask because I painstakingly favorited a lot of good shit from my ROM hoard and don't want to to that process again aka, go through ROM, check gameplay video that shows up, debate in 2 secs if it looks good, favorite it etc.

>>9497759
Idk but the weird frame rate issues on SNES drove me insane. Basically Super Mario World for example of all fucking games would do this weird frame tearing thing by default every 1 min or so. Other people online have noted this too.

The only solution was to use some shitty 2005 core or SNES9X. Unacceptable for a device that was fucking $160 when I bought it.

>>9497790
>weird framerate issues on SNES
That didn't happen to me at all, using ArkOS at least.

Well, there's your problem, using a shit firmware.

>>9497797
To be fair, you're probably right. I should try using ArkOS instead.

>>9497632

>>9497797
What's wrong with AmberElec? It's intuitive and simple to use

>>9495901

>>9497810
It has worse performance, especially on Saturn, Dreamcast and N64 compared to ArkOS.

>>9497817
>Saturn, Dreamcast and N64
How much worse?
I don't care for those systems anyway and mainly use my device for PS1 and GBA

>>9497820
Well, I play Dreamcast perfectly fine on ArkOS. On the other firmware, it's slugish.

>>9497750
Agree
Its strange, that spinoff is best in generation. I readed, that usa version is harder and with limeted continues.

spoonfeed a retard good place to get retro roms?

>>9496410
It's smaller than I though it would be. Looks small enough to be uncomfortable for my big meaty claws. Don't suppose you could post a better size comparison?

>>9497632
RP3+ and/or Deck.

>>9497905
For non-arcade stuff I default to cdromance.com. Every once in a while they don't have what I'm looking for so I'll have to go somewhere else.

>>9497905
Unironically use Reddit aka look up /r/roms megathread and first Google result will be what you want to use.

For stuff like Nintendo Switch, PS4 etc, it's a bit tricky and you will probably need an '1fichier' account so you don't get rate limited when grabbing roms. Also use a VPN for sites that require 1fichier so you can keep swapping countries and not get rate limited.

anyone here playing on phone with gamepad?
if yes, what phone are you using?

>>9497917
Here's the same RG353P along with my RG351V and Nintendo 3DS XL (normal, not 'New')

Hope that helps. I have smaller hands which I've noticed because I like short scale guitars etc. Stupid idea but I've heard Steam Deck is good for bigger hands.

>>9497753
Work and look nice
But I had problems with install. Retroarch savestates dont worked before I deleted many cores. I dont like shaders, but use filtration.
Before I solved problem used psnes and pgen. I like simple disign, but you must use special rom dump. Psnes have some problem with detecting roms. You need rename database file.

>>9497786
They have a discord, ask there maybe.

Do any other handhelds (modded or not) besides 3DS support a "night mode" where blue light is filtered?

>>9498080
>Do any other handhelds (modded or not) besides 3DS support a "night mode" where blue light is filtered?
The Deck, RP3, RP3+, and iirc the RP2+ all have this. I bet the Odin Lite did too but I can't remember for sure, pretty sure anything on Android OS should have a night mode at this point.

>>9498080
>>9498084
oh and it looks like the Vita has some night mode mods as well. On the 2k I was fine just dropping brightness to lowest while playing in bed so I never actually looked for a night mod until now. The 1k is indeed too bright even at lowest so I'd have probably searched for a night mode mod if I had stuck with that as my primary Vita.

>>9498090
Thanks Anon. I didn't know the RPs had it and here I am spending all my money on Anbernic devices. I heard about the Vita plugin but it probably isn't as easy to use as the Rosalina menu on 3DS

>>9498096
There are some dualboot Anbernic devices like the RG353M and the Android RG505 that probably have it too, but yeah if you want to go the RP3/3+ route you will be extremely pleased.

>>9497753
I wasn't able to get N64 working well on mine outside of the official emulator, but Retroarch should be fine for everything else you're looking for.

>>9498538

Do people actually like or use these kinds of devices frequently? They look so uncomfortable to game on, the GBA SP already is a bit too much for people with large hands, but something smaller than that?

>>9498556
Cool stuff. Front Mission looked cool. Kind of like a grittier take on mecha like Armored Core.

Here is the plugin
https://github.com/devnoname120/vitabright
It's great and really easy to use. On my Vita1k I use the 0.9 version where I put the bright slide all the way down and the screen would change to something like Flux/night mode. I recommend that version if you have a Vita1k and still on 3.60 because I don't know if the newer version of the plugin which add support to Vita2k changed something. But looking at the lut.txt file that comes with the plugin, the version 1.1 still comes with the Flux like gamma table and was removed in the version 2.0.
There is also F.lux for the vita.
https://github.com/DavisDev/VitaFlux

>>9498440
I have one, they’re pretty good for the original price, not now when they’re $100 or so. Good for short little bursts of gaming. I mostly use it for handheld games and anything before PSX.

>>9496353
What happened here?

>>9498228
The GBA versions of the DKC games are fucking trash dude. Shit tier sound and visuals. If memory serves, the momentum/general movement feels more natural in the GBA versions but everything else is not fuckin worth it. GBC version of DKC is still pretty impressive visually and the music is more admirable than the tinny shit on the GBA.

>>9498779
Oh, makes sense then. I've never actually played the handheld versions of DKC, so I didn't know if it was just for nostalgia reasons or a bad port.

>>9498696
Thanks, I have a 2k and I'll give it a shot

I finally got around to modding my 3DS and I installed a NES emulator. I love this little thing now, but eventually I'll replace it with something more comfortable for NES games.

>>9495702
super close to buying an atari flashback portable.

I had one before, but screen was scratched so i sold it. It was just awesome. super simple games - just what i want to play when im on a handheld. screen is super clear, Easy to switch games, and dont care if it gets dropped/stolen because its so cheap. Colors are also so basic that any light angles dont affect images with gradients (because there arent any!)

otherwise Was thinking of getting something powerful - that mainly had a video out to plug in when at a hotel. Usb controller plug would be nice too; and isnt huge. that did every system up to PSX

>>9499290
Up to PSX, I would say Anbernic RG353V as this has HDMI output and can allow a a USB controller to be plugged in.

I did some research and this Plebbit post states you can connect controllers via Bluetooth on the Android side. Willing to be if you just connected it via USB, it would probably be just fine:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ANBERNIC/comments/wc7wwl/can_you_connect_two_bluetooth_8bitdo_controllers/

Check this video at Timestamp 25:30 since he goes over how HDMI output works, looks like Linux side aka JELOS would be better for this scenario to ensure the correct aspect ratio is being rendered out to the TV:
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YgMbGd-D6xE

Super overkill choice would be the Steam Deck, but you can easily dock it, add controllers etc.

>>9499290
>>9499379
*Willing to bet

>>9499379
Can’t you use the handheld once it is plugged to the screen?

>>9499662
Probably. You're going to have to dig around YouTube for more reviews though. Gotta teach you how to fish, bro.

There are any good budget handheld,
For around 200 dollars for 3d games.

>>9500171
Maybe try the Ayn Odin Lite, or the Retroid Pocket 3+. You'll get most of gamecube, and some wii and ps2.

>>9497747
why wouldnt you play ps1 on rg353_

>>9500227
I do play PSX on my RG353P. What's your point?

>>9500219
>>9500171
I agree with the initial anon though if you want shipping and taxes included for $200, go for the RP3+. You can always rebind the L2 and R2 triggers for select and start for GBA games. Should work fine for everything else.

I would wait for the RP4 personally but that's just me.

should I get phone with snapdragon 870 (I have stir pro 2 gamepad) or should I get ayn odin which has snapdragon 845? I think phone would be more powerfull but no cooling... what would you do bros?!

>>9497632
The KT-R1 is in production now and ships in a month or two. It can do GC and PS2 for $169.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=QlGiTWOQ8Ss

The Helio G99 is the budget chip of 2023. I can almost guarantee that we will see a Retroid Pocket 4 and RG506 sporting this bad boy.

>>9500283
Last I heard the Odins take ages to ship. If you're impatient maybe go the phone route. It's probably the safest bet anyway.

>>9500372
yea I think im gonna buy poco f3 or realme gt neo 2 so I can play some gamecube games :)

if I emulate retro games on the Deck is there any basic CRT shader I can use that will look good or do I even need one with the Deck's high PPI and small screen?

>>9500407
I just play with naked pixels and integer scaling desu.
>small screen
if anything I actually find the screen a bit too big for my liking for most of this stuff.

Can anyone that owns a Steam Deck comment on how comfortable it is to hold? I dont mind if it's big since I was fine holding the Wii U gamepad or even the OG Xbox Duke, but that button layout looks kinda shit for 3D games.
Still kind of want to get one, but I'm also interested in the Ayaneo Air just because they're on sale and notably smaller, or even waiting next year to see if the regular Loki models will actually end up being worth it.

>>9500305
Lol no stacked shoulder buttons. Nope to that one.

>>9500305
>ships in a month or two
Just like the Odin Lite would start shipping January 2022.

>>9500309

Playing Picross 3D for DS on my 3DS

>>9500996
Man, I miss my 3DS. Too bad it's in banged up condition.

>>9500541
Its big, its almost comically large compared to other handhelds, but because of that its considerably more conferrable to hold IMO.

I wish I could softmod my Switch OLED, but for now I have a RG351MP and a Steam Deck. Haven't actually done much emulation for the later yet, wanna try EmuDeck first plus the newer PCSX2 update adding a single-window GUI straight from Duckstation, but I like the RG351MP well enough for PS1 and below. Do kinda want to get a RP3+ so I can eke out PSP/DC/N64, and leave the Deck for 6th gen

Just got back from a trip to Canada to see my hometown after 12 years. Found my high school GBA in one of my storage bins and was surprised I actually kept it after the screen was smashed via one of those damn flip top lights.

Disputing if I should IPS screen it since I already have an extra bright SP or just stock screen fix it.

>>9501358
If you already have the extra bright sp, stock fix it. then you have a screen for the early games that had the colors ramped up.

>>9501026
My advice broski, get a 'New' "LL" 3DS XL from eBay from Japan since they're way cheaper. Plus you can easily change them over to be American based and then dump whatever game ROMs you want on it as well.

I mention this because I wanted a 3DS XL for weird reasons like the nub stick to play N64 but that was before I got into the Anbernic handhelds I got.

>>9501213
This. Every review I've seen mentions this in that because it's so big, it's actually comfortable. Those back triggers for the palms look so nice, and I personally think the touchpads are genius on the front.

I don't even own one but wouldnt think twice if I got this used for $300.

>>9501297
I would personally take the bullet and just hardware mod it. You basically just open that bitch up, solder on the mod chip, and you're good.

>>9501297
Plus you can literally emulate Switch games on the fucking Deck to be higher resolutions. There is literally no reason to buy a Switch over a Steam Deck now unless you like multiplayer for some reason and even that, it kind of sucks.

There's really only Mario Kart or Smash online. Everything else blows.

>>9497754
I just swapped the start button to L2 for my playthrough of SuperStar Saga. Luckily, most games that use start/select a lot often have a good rebind spot such as L2/R2 or even L3/R3.

>>9501358
You can easily swap the screens on those beautiful original GBAs. They even have solder less kits now that make it so easy but you'll have to do more research on YouTube since there is a couple things you'll need to pull it off.

>>9501442
Nice then there you go.

>>9501442
I don't know if it's stockholm syndrome starting to set in but I've started to like having the Start button on top next to the right shoulder. If Select was on the opposite side next to the left shoulders, I think it'd actually be pretty damn good.

>>9501432
Thanks man, an LL 3ds seems like the next step for me. It's far too bad 3ds can't really emulate n64. I can't complain too much though since I ordered a RP3+.

>>9501358
I kinda want to do that ITA mod that uses a DSi screen for mine when I replace the shell.
Can't find any good replacement shells in the original color though.

>>9501561
I only mention the LL idea since it's a challenge. If you're up for it and find a guide online first, do it. Otherwise you need to do your research first. I mention this because I've seen it done before. But you will need some patience and make sure you read through any soft mod guide for the 3DS as well.

I have a hacked 3DS XL and believe me, having an SD card chock full with every fucking 3DS game and DS game is pretty fucking awesome.

Totally worth it if you haven't done this yet. Have hacked multiple devices and only the Switch, PS4, and 3DS were worth it.

The Wii U and PS3 were a huge waste of my time since all the Wii U games for ported to Switch and there aren't any decent games for PS3 to the point where I basically just used it to play PS1 games which was trash anyway since you couldn't really remap the controls exactly the way you want it.

>>9501562
ITA >>>>> IPS. I don't know why on earth people want a gameboy without the LCD grid.

Playing some Tetris Attack for SNES. God tier puzzle game. Had some awesome times playing this with my bro on emulator when I came home from college during school breaks. That and finishing DK1 or DK2 in a week etc.

I miss hanging out with him man. I call and he probably picks up to talk maybe twice a year. Always excuses etc. I just wish he cared the same way I do for him sometimes.

Maybe if he has kids later, who knows ...

>>9501574
Forgot pic

>>9501568
yea I love the grid on the handhelds, i wish i could find a decent filter or overlay for my rg351 to use to simulate it

>>9501418
>>9501446
>>9501562

Poking around, I think I'll just stock fix it for now. I mean, it's like 7 bucks free fucking shipping. Honestly I was ok with the IPS from what I saw, but I don't want to do any mod where I have to cut any OG plastic, since this specific GBA is sentimentally special to me. I'm gonna see how the screen mods progress in a year or two before I do anything too fancy.

>>9501591
>>9501613
But yeah I love the original GBA form factor so much. I had the Glacier transparent one. Goddamn thing was so kino.

Fuck it, impulse bought a Steam Deck. If its really that comfortable to hold despite its large weight then I'm in.
Just want a quality all in one device and the other x86 handhelds are too dang expensive, especially when taking shipping and imports and CAD to USD/HKD conversions.

>>9502164
Good choice. The Steam Deck is probably the best x86 handheld around, especially for that $400 starting price.

I'm running an S22 for 3D stuff and a miyoo mini for ps1 and older

any controller clip recommendations?
I kinda like the Kishi V1 if it weren't so expensive locally, I didn't grab it when it was like $30 on amazon either
Kishi V2 doesn't seem like a huge deal over that
There's that Gamesir with the Vita sticks and dpad but I think it had no L3/R3 which I kinda want for fastforward on emulators

I got meme'd into buying DSi XL which have amazing IPS screen... This screen is horrible! Gonna sold it ASAP

>>9502304
The Gamesir D Pad looks like trash. The only one that impressed me after doing research is the Razer Kishi V2 since it's USB C so no Bluetooth lag would be present and the sticks look decent.

I wouldn't go with the Gamesir since the sticks look too loose in comparison.

Also I've bought a similar shitty mobile controller before and just looking at the GameSir reminds me of the shitty plastic feel of that bad one I have.

Sure the Kishi V2 is like $80+ but if you're gonna spend on a mobile controller, get one that lasts and is good for 3D stuff. Beats spending $200 for a handheld that is basically a stripped mobile phone in a plastic shell anyway.

>>9502328
DSi was shit. I know people hate on 3DS with the aspect ratio thing but I honestly don't even care at all. I have all the DS games and 3DS games on a single 3DS XL. It's great and convenient. I'd get a New 3DS XL if you really wanted to play 3DS and DS games without having to have side by side screen in a horizontal layout weirdness on the $200+ handhelds.

I laugh so much when people think that shit is passable. Even emulating DS or 3DS on a PC is so weird too. Those games were only meant to be played on a 3DS or DS, hence just hack a 3DS.

>>9502349
Kishi V2 might be too expensive for me
I can't remember which of the Gamesir ones I've checked out so far
There's also the Flydigi Wee 2 or something, I think that's the one with the Vita sticks and dpad which are quality stuff
if only there was a more compact version of the dualsense

>>9502368
Then save up for it. I'm telling you dude, if you don't think you're not going to regret not spending $30 more, I think you're wrong.

>>9502349
I've bought gamesir v2 pro, I will get it tomorrow so I can give you some info about that dpad.

What's the cheapest chinkshit that can play snes and gba games? Are there any 100 USD or lower that can play PS1 titles?

>>9503168
Miyoo Mini it seems

>>9495702
Just got my RP3+, Pretty good quality so far. Weight is so low that i can barely feel it in my pocket, really impressed by the amount of games it runs. For now i'm just doing light gameboy gaming until i finish my not so /vr/ backlog.

>>9503197
Play PS1 well? Not really. I would get the Miyoo Mini if you like RPGs and Pokemon though.

Most decent handhelds in this market are $150+

>>9503218
Got my RP3+ today aswell. I'm surprised how small the thing is. I thought the whole pocket-ability thing was a joke. Time to try out Skyline and see how many switch games it emulates.

>>9503387
lol what? $150 for snes and playstation?
i bought a rg351v at the beginning of this year for way less than that and have had no stutters or slowdown for playstation. and my miyoo only had some speed issues on literally one game (legend of legaia in one specific fight)
you should spend like $100 max on a handheld for ps1 and below unless you are a retard who cant spend 10 minutes installing cfw. if you are, pay the idiot tax and get an android device (and most in the market are 16:9, so enjoy your black bars or widescreen hacks that are actually inconsistent)

I am looking a handheld for NES, GB/GBC, GBA and maybe some SNES.
I saw the miyoo mini and looks promising. I have small hands so there is no issue with the size.

Does it play perfectly/good enough those systems? It is laggy? Can you put filters (CRT PI is fine for me)

>>9503612
It runs all of those well and can do basic filters, probably not actual Retroarch shaders though.

>>9503612
>I have small hands so there is no issue with the size.
I don't care how small your hands are, there will still be a problem with the size for playing longer than 30 minutes.

>>9503626
Then what would be a better option that is small and have the gameboy form factor?

>>9503634
353V. I'd recommend the 35XX since it's closer in size and price to the Miyoo Mini, but the software side of the device is really up in the air right now. Anbernic is such a shit shipping devices in those states.

>>9503521
>recommends 351V for PS1

Bro as much as I love my RG351V, the triggers are awful. Please man, that thing is really only decent for GB and GBC. Everything else is kind of jenk.

>>9503612
Anbernic RG353P is the perfect handheld for this.

>>9503168
>Are there any 100 USD or lower that can play PS1 titles?
Retroid Pocket 2+, Anbernic RG353VS, RG351P, RG351V, RG35XX, Powkiddy RGB10 Max 2, RGB10S, RGB20S, RGB10 Pro, Miyoo Mini.

Why in fucking God's name would you ever play on a real DS or 3DS when even a retard could figure out how to emulate either device? The DS line, especially the 3DS, has absolute dogshit ergonomics, control layout, screen quality, and render resolution for the 3D games.

Do any of these devices use an OLED screen?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tricNeff-LI

I know the Deck is cheaper and probably more trustworthy compared to every other chink handheld but this is pretty much everything I want; PSP/Vita inspired design, slightly smaller than the Deck, physical keyboard, and built around Windows so everything should just work.

Gonna wait months after release for long term reviews tho

Taki's alright because he goes into autistic detail about everything but he's straight up retarded. If you want to know what you're dealing watch the vid where he makes a "diy handheld" by duct taping together a bunch of aliexpress shit together and streaming to it with an hdmi cable rofl.

pretty good, my only problem is how cramped it feels to use as an adult

>>9504270
>>9504314
I know, it looks ugly as shit, but it emulates more stuff than my other handhelds
>>9505094
Pretty good, but the sticks are very slippery, I added covers but since they are smaller than a regular controller they don't fit very well
>>9505103
Apparently this phone can run gamecube, but games like Metroid Prime run at about 45 fps, I haven't configured it yet. My other handhelds are both Anbernic, 350m and 351v, I love them but they aren't too powerful
>>9505106
>>9505535
No clue, sorry. The sticks on this one seem okay. This one doesn't mess with the audio so I have no idea

I use a Samsung A52s 5G with a Razer Kishi.
it runs PS2 and Wii games fine. Everything /vr/ related runs perfectly. Might run 3DS though I haven't tested. Almost like a Steam Deck lite.

>I know the Deck is cheaper
it's at least twice as cheap

Do I invest in a Neo Geo Pocket Color and Wonderswan Color? Shit's pretty pricey sure, but the library looks interesting for both.

It is me, or 351p side buttons are uncomfortable?

>>9507426
You mean the shoulder buttons? Yeah anything that isn't in line feels like crap

>>9507271
I'm in the same boat as you m8. Super cool looking hardware and l library, but I hate those prices. Apparently Wonderswan in particular used to be massively cheaper just a few years ago, and I wouldn't be surprised if it were the same for the NGPC.

>>9506634
Out of this new Ryzen/680M handhelds the only one worth checking is the Loki Max because it doesn't have retard pricing.

Does anybody know if battery drain on retroarch is dependant on the core running, or the program in general drains battery.

Can you copy PS1 saves to different games on the RG351 series? Have an MP and wanna play the PS1 Armored Cores, but I dunno how save transfer would work for getting my AC1 save to Project Phantasma, or PP to Master of Arena

Just got my Analogue Pocket and I've been getting back into Mario Tennis in the GBA.
I remember having a pretty easy time with it and then getting wrecked when I got to the actual Mario characters when I first payed it through. Any tips?

>>9507538
The SwanCrystal was being produced in limited quantities until 2008-2009, which is part of why the prices were down for so long - hard to charge more for a second-hand unit than a new one. I expect the WonderSwan to continue to climb in price...

>>9507271
I still have a NGPC I kept in good storage. But I pretty much do just keep it in storage. It's a joy to use those clicky controls, the screen and sound was good, and the system UI was kind of incredible at the time. It was cool, but I think I played maybe three games on it. Most of them were not to my taste. Basically just a Metal Slug machine. I've even toyed with the idea of selling mine. But despite what I just said I can't bring myself to do it yet. I still haven't gotten over selling my childhood SNES or Dreamcast, so now I hoard everything. So to answer your question with a question: do you really think you'll enjoy the game lineup or not? It's a bit thin unless you really like fighting and puzzle and casino games. Otherwise it's only a collectible investment. Just my opinion.

>>9507791
Yeah but Ayn has a horrible track record of time to ship so you will be waiting still while people already have theirs. The wait won't be worth the price premium you are saving over other Ryzen 6800u handhelds.

>>9508369
I agree about Ayn, but I still haven't seen a single handheld PC with Ryzen 6800/680M under 1k.

Hear me out... This was an experiment, and I think it went well.
I heard the Family Pocket was a fun and convenient device for the money and I thought "bullshit" but tried it because I was looking for cheaper gifts at the time and didn't want to setup and/or build a new device for the 50th time. It's not fun anymore.
I did take out the decoy cartridge and I did throw some other games on to test these silly Java emulators for NeoGeo and SNES, but that's it.
Metal Slug doesn't work. It won't pass the Yoshi's Island test, but I played Earthbound and Mario All Stars fine. Every GBC I've tried ran fine. All the NES and Genesis so far run fine.

It's all setup out of the box with a functioning UI in English, decent lists with boxart, easy save slot for each game, and instant on/off that (so far) seems to be about as safe as possible. I didn't swap the loaded SD for a better one yet so who knows? But six months of testing so far and no worries. I paid $25 for it. It looks and feels like a pickup and play toy and it is. Which I love.

I have several anbernic devices and so on, I'm not a pleb. I'm just sharing my findings on this. It's a really neat convenient affordable toy if you like the proposition.

(Also on a personal note, I love the sound. It isn't good although it has a vol wheel. But the mostly empty softer plastic case seems to smooth out all the bumpy squares and triangles in the sound waves of 8-16 bit games that make my ears thump uncomfortably without a great setup. I have this issue on my 351p with all settings possible tweaked. The smoothing resonance of the cheap case is a nice bonus for me.)
Thank you for liking and subscribing to my autistic review bastard blog

>>9508397
AyaNeo Geek and the lowest variants of the AyaNeo 2 are barely under 1k but yeah, they are overpriced. GPD Win 4 and ONEXPLAYER 2 are on Indiegogo and are under 1k even taking out the early bird pricing. The 6800u isn't that expensive from AMD, the cheapest one with the Lenovo Thinkbook is under 1k in the laptop space but everyone wants to make that margin which is why prices increase rapidly once you want to increase RAM or SSD size.

>>9508405
whered you find this fella?

>>9508509
I think it was just off Amazon, probably the Family Pocket store? But I see prices have gone up. Maybe due to the holidays. I swear it was under $35 at most. Could've been Walmart. I'll have a think on it. But anyway if you get one It has a sort of hidden SD card by the battery compartment. It kicks in as soon as you remove the decoy cartridge with the usual shitty repeating Chinese copy games cheap handhelds usually have. You can toss that and snap the back on again and enjoy. I backed mine up but the no-brand card hasn't failed yet.

>>9508405
Thank you for the review, anon. I watched some recent unboxing on youtube.

Aliexpress. Search for FC3000. Don't forget to choose the version with IPS screen.
But I think for this price range the PowKiddy Q20 Mini, Q90 or V90, would be a better choice to buy.

>>9508509
>>9508651
You know I think it was Walmart. Sorry, I'm distracted with holiday stuff, but their prices match better with what I remember. I just checked. Still higher though. Maybe other people have been praising it more over the last year.

>>9508670
Glad to contribute. I really like the V90, but for me the value with FC3000 is just the ease of use out of the box. Besides my weird thing about chunky sound, I also hate issues with power cycles and UI. So it's nice for me. But I agree I would look at those options as well before paying $50 for it. AliExpress does have better prices though. Great points.

Is the Analogue Pocket the only modern option for playing GB games off of a flash cart?

>>9508682
Yeah, the problem with the power cycle and UI in the V90 is really annoying, but at least someone did a workaround for it.
https://jahed.dev/2022/01/25/improving-powkiddy-v90-ux/

>>9508736
That's a great resource thank you. I just don't want to futz around with another CFW or tweaking like that for a toy. I've done it so much I sometimes wonder if I've spent more time fixing the things I bought than using them.
I have found Industrial grade SD cards with power protection can help, but they do cost more. 16GB is plenty for me on games I play tho. Obviously this doesn't correct all software issues.
But IDK, I'm lazy and gullible enough to pay $50 for the Zelda Game & Watch and pray for more opportunities to give Nintendo my money for something that isn't impressive at all on paper. It's the ease of use for me now. Can't even find my soldering iron anymore. To each their own.

Why are these always so expensive?
I get that they're not getting the same exclusivity deal Valve did, but $1200 can buy a better spec'd laptop. It can buy THREE (3) Steam Decks. It can buy a full-fledged gaming desktop and a cheap streaming phone.
And it can't all be attributed to R&D costs, GPD has been doing this for years. There's just no justification.

>>9509371
>Why are these always so expensive?
Decks are as "cheap" as they are because Valve takes a loss on each unit iirc
They make so much money through Steam and the low costs potentially brings them into that ecosystem to fund it even further. Competing manufacturers don't really have that, so they have no choice but to jack up prices to actually profit.
We're probably not going to see another comparable handheld like this for similar prices unless it comes from Microsoft or some shit

>>9509478
>Valve takes a loss on each unit
That used to be the case, but not anymore.
It's why they started producing enough to do away with reservations.
Valve got a great deal through AMD that let them meet the $400 price point. And while GPD obviously didn't, $1200 for a machine that severely loses out to similarly priced laptops, which are notoriously expensive for their spec, is just egregious.

>>9509467
Something tells me that if it was gonna track and shit, it'd have about the same reach as your average smartphone, but I wouldn't know for sure. You can always just sideload everything if you're that concerned

>>9510550
I was talking more about screen size, layout, controls, touch controls, etc. A general opinion.
If you want to try what I suppose would be a demanding romhack you could try Renegade Platinium or Blaze Black 2/Volt White 2 Redux, but I suppose they run pretty well in Drastic (at least with no upscaled resolution).

>>9510856

>>9510610
RG353M if we are going strictly on form factor.

>>9511037
Honestly it's the size of the old original 3DS so go with that. That or find the dimensions of the device and then find a case.

Be creative. Even when Miyoo Mini didn't have a case, there were a ton of people just using cases meant for a deck of cards.

>>9511051

i just learned that GBA actually has some emulators on it. 2 things

1) A lot of the good ones are attributed to this one guy, but all of those have weird visual 'jump' every 30 seconds or so on mednafen. Anyone know if this issue appears on the actual consoles?

2) All the links i find to the atari~vcs emu are dead - does anyone have it/have a working link for it?

>>9511998
Visual jump issues that I've experienced in emulators usually relate to shitty vsync screen issues or screen tearing / refresh rate issues.

What controller should I buy for emulation on my phone? Already have a lot of games on it, but hate using a touchscreen.

I've done a lot of research and the only one that is consistently okay is the Razer Kishi V2. It ain't cheap but the other ones have awful buttons in comparison which I find crazy for some reason

>>9512153
Awful how? Like is the layout bad, are they unresponsive, do they break easily?

>>9497917
is this ogreanon from the game cube controller thread?

>>9504517
nice collection. i have one of those pockets with the og colors, love it

>>9512165
They look like really shitty glossy plastic. I had an old ipega stereoscopic controller that has buttons that look exactly the same. They're awful bro, no way around it.

jewtuber eta prime is making the gpd win 4 sound like an absolute banger is his recent video, and there's gonna be a deep dive on the battery life from phawks soon too apparently. Too bad about that insane price and GPD apparently having really spotty support. Some people have said their experience with support has been fine, but others say they were completely fucked when something broke on their device.

>>9512730
>ipega
That was your mistake

>>9513484
That fag has very low standards, I wouldn't trust his opinion. Jewtubers in general are an unreliable source for opinions, they get everything for free, and because they own dozens of devices and are all the ultra casual married dad type, never play any game for more than 5 min or use a device for more than a week (if at all).

>>9512149
Razer Kishi v1 is alright if you don't mind disassembling it and doing the trick with adding a few layers of tape under the dpad, honestly made it go from borderline unusable to actually good.

>>9512149
I just got the usb-c backbone delivered yesterday and I think it will be the phone controller to beat. Particularly if you want something with a headphone jack on a phone that has no headphone jack.

Someone on Reddit put up a post about their current experience with the AyaNeo Air Plus, the 1215u model specificially.
https://www.reddit.com/r/ayaneo/comments/zs89td/aya_neo_air_plus_1215u_12w_performance_mega_list/
Obviously it's not going to come close to the regular Air/Pro models and not even remotely stack up against a Steam Deck, and its still up in the air as to how long the battery will last on a single charge. But if its cheap it looks like it could end up being a decent emulation machine and better than the Abernic Win600 as a cheap x86 handheld.

>>9513957
That one is really overpriced

>>9514113
true, but comparably priced to a kishi v2 but with headphone jack and rumble motors. For cheapest possible phone controller I guess the gamesir and kishi 1 can be got at decent prices right now.

How is the NGPC flash masta compared to the other NGPC flashcarts? I am thinking about picking up the wonderswan one since it is the only option for that system (until that eink one actually comes out) so that bundle with both is pretty tempting.

So I just found a DSLite in the garbage. Charged it up and it works fine. I want one of those cards that I can put a bunch of games on but I know nothing about them, any suggestions?

>>9514312
I used to have an Acekard 2i for a while and that worked great but I don't know if that's the best option anymore.

>>9514316
Nice flashcart I remember that one, should check what games are on my CyclosDS that I have not touched in ages

How likely are GBA games on ebay to be fake? I keep coming across deals buy my cut tells me they are all fakes.

>>9514797

>>9514312
I don't know how to ask this without sounding rude af so I'm sorry ahead of time, but why were you looking through garbage?

>>9515056
Probably lives somewhere where dumpster diving is viable

Can you use different emulators on the RG353P (libretro cores) or are you stuck with what's stock?

I assume you simply ssh into it to fuck around with it or mount its storage through smb to add games.

>>9515056
Not him, but looking through garbage can be exciting. Sometimes you find cool stuff. There’s really nothing to lose from just taking a look, if you don’t care about people assuming you’re some kind of freak.

>>9515083
Never mind.

It looks like it's just retropie running on a different distro. Is smb disabled or are youtubers just too dumb to know how to use it?

>>9514797
Absolutely rampant for pokemon games and there are a bunch for other games but generally the fakes are low effort and easily identifiable. Just look for the label being messed up somehow (lowres or wrong art), the color/texture of the plastic and do not buy anything without a clear picture and you should be fine.

>>9515091
>looking through garbage can be exciting
Yeah I'm addicted to the internet too

>And it can't all be attributed to R&D costs,
I'm guessing none of you have bought laptops before, well at least laptops that don't have dedicated gpus.
The price is in line with other laptops at that price range that don't have a dedicated graphics card. You will never in a million years get a ryzen 7 rdna2 laptop for 400 dollars, the performance of it beats apple's m1 chip.

Still honestly the performance of RDNA2 isn't too impressive, igpus were already capable of doing 720p aaa gaming way back in 2019.
It's would have been great if it was more powerful.

>>9516979

It doesn't unless you get a gamingaptop.
The performance of rdna2 is great compared to intels offering at the moment.

>>9516990
Well shit I stand corrected.
If it's basically on par or even slightly better with the regular Air models at half the price then that's even better.

Ones without have the same or worse unless you get an apple m1 Pro/ max whatever.

The fact that I CAN buy a laptop with dedicated graphics that shits on the Win 4 for the same price only makes the problem more obvious.

You are really just paying for the portability.

>>9517062
We hardly ever talk about ETA tho? Besides I don't hate him like Taki the BITCH or anything, just poking fun.

>>9517180
Why is taki bad, I’ve watched a few of his videos, I honestly think that he is a bit too emotional when it comes to handheld devices.

>>9517187
He called out Anbernic, so they blacklisted him.
People think that's a bad thing.

>>9517187
His actual videos sans for some really retarded ones like I MADE LE EBIN OLED HANDELD FOR $100 are mostly fine, I just made the mistake of venturing into his discord. He was constantly being a catty little bitch and gossiping about companies here and there but then refusing to elaborate on critical points, essentially trying to stoke his fanboys into spreading misinformation by filling in the gaps of what he said with their imagination. So yeah, I just find him massively unprofessional. Russ is essentially the same guy with the same style of videos, but without the sass and ego.

>>9517195
The only other criticism I’ve seen on him online is that he influenced ayn to change the design of the Loki handheld.
>>9517207
> He was constantly being a catty little bitch and gossiping about companies here and there
Not too suprising considering his videos were a bit emotional.
I found his video on the win600 to be a bit too negative, it’s overpriced sure, but it’s actually suprising seeing what people can do with the device, playing aaa games at like 720p 30+fps, the device isn’t total ewaste imo, even with the really gimped athlon chip.

I really don't know what people see in this guy. Taki is more watchable in comparison, I like how harsh he is in his criticisms and gets a bit more technical. He gets a pass for going into detail on the quality of the dpads, something no one else really does.

>>9517247
>>plays handheld carts natively without issue
There's almost nothing holding them in place, so something as simple as moving the thing too fast causes carts to disconnect.
>cores
It's competing with devices in the $200-$300 range and can't even do as much as a PSP.

>>9495702
Retroid 3+ is such a great deal. Playing DS Dragon Quest V

>>9517282

I don't play RPGs nor turn based games and I don't hate myself to play my favorite action games on a tiny fucking children's screen with garbage tiny dpad either, as we find on all handhelds, without exception

I can see the appeal of sleepy games on handheld or kids with tiny hands and tiny eyes playing on them but no reason why an adult man would ever bother with this shit, good day

Merry Christmas

>>9517978
The only thing I wonder about is what will happen to the currently existing Air models. Apparently there's a Pentium 8505 variant in the works alongside the Mendocino one, but if the i3 and the Mendocino models end up performing close enough to the 5560u/5825u ones, then are those going to get a perma price drop eventually or will they just stop making them entirely?
I'm not complaining, I still have my eye on the Plus just because it'll probably be easier to bring along portably than a Deck, but still.

The ultimate handheld.

Final verdict on the 505: it a fat piece of shit and I hate it.

>>9520215
Probably not, IIRC Anbernic did the same thing with the Win600, in fact they're probably the first x86 handheld that reached out for SteamOS support.
Its still interesting, Valve really doesn't view any of these other handhelds as competition at all, in fact they're willing to help.

>he doesn't know what native resolution means

>>9521341
This looks really bad

>>9518554
I bought one and was pretty impressed but ultimately returned it, it's not comfortable to play on for long periods of time and it's only really as portable as a laptop, easier to use without a desk sure but it takes up more space in a bag than one and is much clunkier for lots of games.

Its pretty expensive as an emu box as well, though on the go PS2 was pretty nice and its arguably a better switch than the switch.

A lot of the verified games can't be played at 60fps either, DOOM can because both of the modern ones are optimized to hell but lots of shit does about 35-40fps and chugs battery. Even stuff like Mechanicus and PZ was really clunky and didn't run great, I can't imagine trying to play something as PC autist core as STALKER on it, never mind something like factorio or an isometric RPG.

Steam Deck 2 is going to be lit though.

waiting on my razer kishi to arrive, managed to get one for £20

>>9521410
It looks dramatically worse at native res on a real ds screen.

>>9521526
Yeah, but something like the DS Lite has super small screens with super low resolutions where any loss in detail doesn't really matter or was ever apparent in the first place. It'd only be where if you were to play it on something with a larger display like a DS capture card, a Wii U or emulated on a PC that the short comings really become apparent outside of sprite-based games.
Granted things may be different on a DSi XL, but I never owned one to comment.

if I get a 3DS can I play all of the handheld WarioWare games?

I'm getting bored bros, need new chinkshit to obsess over. anbernic and powkiddy please shit out another pointless new device already.

>>9520953
I don't know how you knew that based off what I posted, but yes actually I've been running into some weird OS shit that I wasn't expecting. What bugs me more than that on the OS side though is missing features that I just kind of assumed would be there. I don't see a way to enable to analog cursor so that I don't have to smudge up the screen by using touch. I don't see a way to enable the xbox layout where bottom button is confirm, right button is back/cancel, and X/Y are swapped to the correct axis. I don't see a way to access my internal storage through a PC by connecting it through a USB cable. Is there a way to do that thing on android where you can see all apps that are running at once without using the touchscreen? Because if there is I haven't found it. Also this isn't a huge deal, but it just seems weird to me that pressing L/R doesn't flip between pages when you're at the main menu of the OS.

More than anything though, I just hate how big and fat it is. For the first minute or two of holding it I thought it was really comfortable, but the more I've played on it, the more it has started to annoy me. The 50g of extra weight it has on the RP3 ended up being a lot more noticeable than I was expecting, too. I don't think I'd go so far as to say it's too much, but I definitely prefer something lighter.

>>9521360

>>9523160
RG35XX isn't quite as small, but it seems like a good alternative now

>>9523497
The RG35XX seems like the perfect size of comfortable and pocketable as someone who found the Miyoo Mini pretty cramped. Shame the software is so ass and Anbernic just threw it out in the wild and said "you do this shit". It's so scummy. If you actually want to compete with the Miyoo, then ship it with an OS that's at least partially comparable to OnionOS.

>>9521408
I do. It does nothing to improve the image. The devs created details that you cannot see, because it's shit. I owned a ds with a flashcart and was a pirate Chad back when they were still relevant. Screen was always shit, especially next to the psp.

>>9521537
The devs wanted you to see the details, otherwise they wouldn't have made them.

>>9523357
4x shipping? What did that cost?

>>9523634
Miyoo doesn't ship with onion either. That's just how this stuff works.

Waiting for an RG351V to arrive in the mail. People complain about vertical handhelds being uncomfortable, but for me it's always been the opposite. Not having the GBC's "booty" would be even better

>>9523959
>Miyoo doesn't ship with onion either.
No, but it's available now for anyone who wants it.
The 35XX doesn't have anything comparable, and is a worse option for it. Hell, what it does come with isn't even on par with Anbernic's standard affair.

>>9524237
The screen looks good, you just need to replace that scuffed up lens. You can get a new plastic one or even a much clearer glass one. Overall I would say it’s in great shape!

>>9521341
DS looks better at native res. That game has an interesting look at native res. At HD it looks like a cheap looking metroid clone.

>>9524339
>That game has an interesting look at native res
If by "interesting" you mean "ugly" then sure.

I keep forgetting to put Batocera on my Gpi. Great little device even a year later, but the Pi 0 without wireless using retropie is suffering.

>>9524287
1-2 vertical lines starting from the left are gone. that's what makes me consider replacing the whole screen rather than just the top glass. New membranes will be needed, too.

What I never noticed is how much it had yellowed. Not surprising given how I was playing with almosy direct sunlit facing it.

My original gbc was the banana yellow. I would have killed for the bright green one
