>Thinking of consooming another handheld you don't need soon?
I'm actually thinking of getting my first handheld, in the last two decades. Looking at a used New-3ds XL for 120€ (plus 6 euros for a separate adapter).

any recommendations for handhelds that can handle ps2 and dreamcast?

>>9699465
T618 devices like the RP3+, RG505, Powkiddy X18s, and X28 (pic related was just uploaded by based Powkiddy 2 days ago so I guess it's still happening after all. kino new slogan at the end of the webm btw) are the weakest devices that can play all Dreamcast games at fullspeed without frameskip. The Steam Deck is the cheapest device I know of that can run all PS2 games perfectly. I think the Aya Neo Air Plus Intel or Mendocino launching tomorrow will probably end up taking that mantle but I'm not 100% on that.

Here’s hoping for a RP3+ but in the RP2-style 640x480 screen

>>9699562
brothers... is the powkiddy ninjamogus flirting with me?

>>9699690
thanks anonymous, very cool!

>>9699412
It's a generic jewtube clickbait, of course it's full of shit.

>>9699412
I'd say it is still a worthy handheld but finding one in a good condition should be hard due to its age. Plus the battery situation of it must be horrible. Not worth it in 2023 I say.

>>9699678
The RP2/2+ is apparently discontinued now so hopefully they have a new 4:3 handheld in the works to fill the gap.

>>9699783
That vertical retroid handheld will probably turn out to be real, but I fucking hate vertical handhelds.

>>9699784
I don't hate them but I do think it'll be pretty disappointing if that ends up being their only 4:3 handheld. The RP2 had a unique niche while the leak for the vertical one just looks exactly like the RG353V.

I dropped my RP3+ the week I got it and the left shoulder button doesn't work anymore ; w ;

>>9699794
Sad. https://www.goretroid.com/collections/diy/products/retroid-pocket-3-3-handheld-console-dpad-full-set

So, now that you can emulate full Windows 98, including DirectX on your phone or chink handheld, what are you playing?

>>9699167
Just pop one of these in a snapdragon 8 gen 1 smartphone and you will be fine with ps2 games

>>9699465
The Steam Deck is the only device I can recommend due to it not being chinky hardware made by a dubious company. You're guaranteed to get the thing within 1-2 weeks of ordering as opposed to literal months for chinkware devices.
It emulates almost everything and can play PC games to boot since it's a computer in a console shell and not an android phone in a console shell.

Just achieved new high score.

>>9699562
big but it does look comfy.

>>9700137
I'd rather not play 4:3 games in a 21:9 screen.

>>9700189
Plastic toys shouldn't count as video games

>>9700272
A game, perhaps, but video? I'd say no.
LCD isn't video, even if it's electronic.

Interestingly enough though, you can get various LCD games running in Retroarch, works on a bunch of these Emulation Station handhelds too.

I just want an RG353M but with a plastic shell
No, the 353P doesn't count, it's a shitty uncomfortable dog bone form factor with a shitty d-pad that outputs false diagonals

>>9700931
>shitty uncomfortable dog bone form factor
It's literally more ergonomic than Anbernic's usual form factor.

Any budget handheld for ds on Amazon.

>>9701274
You're always going to be paying extra on Amazon for these handhelds since it's faster shipping and has the safety net of Amazon's return policy. For real budget, you'll have to bite the bullet and order from Aliexpress.

>>9701274
For DS you’d probably be better off just attaching a controller to a smartphone

>>9700931
Same. Ended up ordering a plastic KTR1 since anbernig doesn't want to make one.

>>9701274
Just buy a DS

Talk about deflated expectations. Ayaneo pretty much handed AYN the budget handheld market on a silver platter if they can somehow get their Loki mini devices to ship.
Might as well stick to laptop gaming and Steam Deck for everything else.

>>9701685
member when they were gonna sell them for $200 starting

The controls wouldn't even fit.

>>9700147
>Price: 400 United States Dollars (not including taxes)

>>9701940
I can dream. I just like the little square screen aesthetic; widescreen handhelds always feel kinda bulky.

>>9701942
Even now, you will not find a better price-to-performance ratio. It's bulky to travel with but it feels really comfortable in the hands and also has a good battery life.
I guess the regular Odin and even the Odin Lite can also do you fine, but you'll end up paying for shipping and possibly additional fees anyways, and it's unlikely that it could handle all PS2 games as well in comparison.

>>9701903
The DS is one device where you're getting a shit experience on anything but a DS, so not sure why you have that opinion

>>9702048
Nah it's a shit experience on the DS because of the dogshit ergonomics, screens, and speakers. The controls are okay on the Lite (FUCK the original fat one) but suck ass compared to modern chinkhelds, and personally I far prefer everything on one big screen.

>>9702054
>FUCK the original fat one
I was super hype for the DS as a kid and rushed out to buy the fat one. Then the Lite comes out and all my friends get it. I get mad and resolve to buy the next one. It's the DSi. I get mad and decide to buy the next one no matter what to get back on the "good releases" cycle. It's the original 3DS.

Are chink 3ds batteries from aliexpress any good or bigger fire hazard than inflated batteries?

>>9702054
The DSi XL has dual IPS panels and the ergonomics are just fine IMO

>>9701942
That's the cheapest you're getting full PS2 emulation coverage until varporware Lokis come out considering Aya just completely shit the bed with Air Plus pricing. And even then, I'm not 100% certain on the chips in the cheaper Lokis handling it. At the very least, the bottom Mendocino in the Mini (7220u) and the 3050e in the Zero don't quite cut it. Hoping the Mendocino in the Mino Pro (7320u) will.

>>9702035
I had an Odin and aside from the (imo) horrific handcramping ergonomics and unusuable d-pad due to the super low placement, it was fantastic. Ran every PS2 game I personally threw at it (albeit not at the high resolutions and with the 60fps/de-interlace/widescreen mods I could use on Deck), but apparently there are indeed some PS2 games it just can't run at fullspeed regardless of what you do.

Okay when are Anbernic and Retroid going to catch up and start giving us devices with Snapdragon chips? I hate seeing them get outpaced the way they are, without a single device that can do flawless GameCube.

>>9702272
Anon, Retroid is part of the same company that makes the Odin. So they already have a device with a Snapdragon.

Win 701 handheld PC looks okay, but in classic anbernig fashion I expect it to be hilariously overpriced for what they're offering. Also sad to see them drop dpad from the top position, that was the 600's one claim to fame with every other handheld PC aside from the Steam Deck having it on bottom. I really just want a small, light, cheap, underpowered handheld PC with d-pad on top for all my PC shmups/bmups/vn/2d/etc.

>>9702354
I guess it was due to videos like Taki Udon's that anbernig decided to change things up.

This is DosBox Pure, which not only performs much better but is also supported on ARM platforms.

>>9702054
I never minded the controls on my launch DS, was my favorite handheld for a long time. Didn't see the point in getting a Lite or DSi back then, although I wouldn't mind picking up a DSi XL now if I can find a cheap one.

>>9702363
Great, I guess now we can look forward to a video of him reeing because the d-pad needs moving 1mm to the left.

>>9702372
I still wonder exactly how he has so much say on these Chinese manufacturers. Didn't he also influence the Loki's redesign, or was that just rumors some anon posted here.
It's not like the guy worked on handhelds in the past or can "make" a handheld.

>>9702591
>NOOOOOO THE D-PAD PLACEMENT STILL ISN'T SHITTY ENOUGH
thank you takisama... truly you are our greatest ally...

>>9702598
Yeah it's strange. His dad is probably a cianigger heavily involved in the chinese mafia or something.

>>9702598
Of course he can make a handheld. He invented a DIY OLED handheld that could run CEMU for only $100! https://youtu.be/Hl-XpgA8jlE

>>9702778

>>9701685
Yea just bought the steam deck due to the price change.
God I’m never looking at anything Ayaneo again. I’ll buy the $389 ayn loki just to spite Ayaneo when they ship.
700 dollars for an i3 and that’s the early bird. Crap.
>>9701708
Lol now it’s triple the price hahaha.

>>9702536
Yea I feel ya, wasted 8 months waiting for that.

Fixed that for you.

Why are we letting CHYNA run the handheld emulator market? Why doesn't /vr/ design our own? The CHYNA ones are always dogshit and missing key features. We could do a much better job than them.

>>9703938
American production is expensive, the rg35xx I bought would have probably been 120 bucks instead of 60 bucks if it was made in the US of A.

now if only these damn chinks would move faster...

>>9703938
Logitech is the closest thing to an American company that made a handheld and just like >>9703964 said, they overpriced the hell of the G Cloud.

>>9703964

A homebuilt option would be ideal. Either 3d printing cases or find a supplier to make them for us.

>>9702549
How in the hell do you set up win98 through dosbox pure? Sounds like a nightmare

>>9704039
the same way you used to install windows through dos when it was current?

you arent some clueless zoomer retard are you?

>>9704060
No. I can do it with pcem or a VM just fine, but dosbox pure from what I know is a RetroArch core and trying to go through the install process for 98 with that interface on Android sounds like a nightmare to get functional

>>9704075
the video i watched of it the guy had a working keyboard but not mouse. When i was a kid i often didnt have a working mouse when installing windows anyway, its optional

Steam Deck + New 3DS (the small one) is the best combo.

I just got mine a week ago and it really amazes me how many games just play better on a handheld, been diving into my backlog. I much prefer games like Hylics or various other indies I've acquired over the years feel on the device.

3DS is pocketable and better suited for playing gameboy and other smaller consoles IMO. Plus DS games in widescreen with a hack, and the 3DS library. I don't like emulating and switching screens or ruining games that use both screens at once.

>>9703982
What about Valve?

anyone get the retroid grip?

im hoping it will fix the uncomfortable hand position of the naked console

>>9701685
>>9701708
Bro

>>9704096
I love the 3ds, but it's really awful for emulation. It's perfect for 3DS and DS and I wouldn't play those on any other system, but slow and clunky for the rest and the resolution is dogass.

is the Steam Deck shilling here a meme or is it really good? I don't even consider it due to the price and bulkiness. 1.47lbs is just retarded. I guess if you want PS2 then you may need it, otherwise why the hell would I

apparently the reviewers should get them from 8th March onwards. Will be getting black.

>>9704470
Steam deck is a solid device that will easily emulate gamecube, wii, and a lot of ps2. It's biggest downside is the size and weight, along with how annoying it is to put roms on it since it formats whatever ssd you put in it and PC cant read it.

I dumped a few gamecube games on mine via warpinator. They run extremely well and look very good on the screen. It also has analog triggers so games like Mario Sunshine work properly.

>>9704470
There's simply nothing that comes close to its price-performance ratio.
If you don't need all that power or the inputs that make M+KB games playable then it might not be the best option.

>>9704624
>how annoying it is to put roms on it since it formats whatever ssd you put in it and PC cant read it.
It's a standard Linux file system. Blame Windows for not being able to read that shit. My Linux system does it just fine.

>>9704727
>It's a standard Linux file system. Blame Windows for not being able to read that shit. My Linux system does it just fine.
Strange how 3ds and Vita support file systems that are compatible with windows, but Deck follows in the footsteps of Apple in using non-standard and parochial technologies.

>>9704761
It's Windows that is incompatible here. Literally only supports archaic shit like NTFS and FAT32.
And please don't pretend that using FAT32 would be a good idea. That shit's slow as molasses.
Also calling ext4 non-standard and parochial is just showing your ignorance. Linux is fucking everywhere and ext4 is by far the most common file system for it. I'd wager that there's more drives out there on ext4 than NTFS.
It's also supported on OSX and Android (duh) and BSD btw. Windows is the odd one out.

>>9704825
yeah it's weird as fuck that windows still doesn't support ext4, I don't get it.

>>9704989
with wsl2 you can mount those drives, but that's basically a linux vm so it doesn't really count

Miyoo Mini Plus WHEN

anyone here have a GPD Win Max 1 or 2? I think it looks cute (no homo) as a mini laptop, but I can't justify it when I already have a laptop.

>>9703982
I don’t know why South Korea or any of the nations of Southeast Asia have tried stepping up their game in the handheld market…

>>9705076
*haven't

>>9705071
The sticks and buttons just seem too gimmicky, the only case where they’re more comfortable than a standalone controller would be if you’re laying down on your back. This is also a laptop, you’re probably carrying it in a bag, at which point you could just carry a controller with you

>>9705076
they were so far ahead of the curve with the gp32 and gp2x it's ridiculous. I got one of these back in 2005 and it felt really nice aside from this stupid clickless digital stick ruining everything with how terrible it felt.

>>9704075
PCem runs slower and has higher input lag. Plus it only runs on x86 and not even at that, not particularly well in GNU/Linux. The Windows 98 installation in DosBox Pure literally took 15 minutes and the only two times I had to interact with Retroarch was when I mounted the Windows 98 ISO and then the GPU drivers. Plus I did that on a PC with keyboard and mouse and then moved the .img file to my phone, where it JUST WERKS.

Can PCem do that? Yeah, didn't think so.

>>9701942
There is absolutely nothing else out there that can play that many games for that price. It can emulate everything up to and including some PS3, plus every single PC game ever made until around 2020.

>>9701942
The price is better in the uk, £349 is fair, in the eu and usa though no. I wouldn't pay €429 for a 64gb device. Scam tier ngl.

>>9705232

>>9705258
even as a kid I hated the gbc. ugly shitty console.

>>9705232
it really is not a big difference from horizontal. consider clamshells, which are actually vertical but people don't usually think of them that way.

>>9705232
they aged better, my schizo theory for that is because of smartphones being the way they are

verticals only work if you have no shoulder buttons.

>>9704282
>>9704282
It depends on the system. SNES and above? Steam Deck. Gameboy/GBC/GameGear/NES and other weaker consoles? Perfect on the 3DS.

>>9704470
First true handheld competitor since the Vita desu. Homebrew scene is thriving, developers are optimizing more and more games. Dolphin devs are targeting getting every game full speed on the specs. Honestly, I've never been much of a PC gamer, prefering to us my PC for productivity vs entertainment, and the Steam Deck? It's an absolute gamechanger for PC gaming as a whole.

I want a smaller, less powerful steam deck, I think alot of the people who want a larger, more expensive, new model are in their PC gaming echo chambers not realizing PC gaming is a super niche hobby compared to console gaming, and the Steam Deck is bridging that gap.

>>9704245
>i3

Surely this is trolling right? Why would anyone buy this over the Steam Deck unless they have a personal stake in Chang's manufacturing plant?

>>9705504
Size and windows out of the box.
Personally wasn't considering a deck considering the i3 1215u can play xbox one titles OK at 720p low-medium. The i3 is faster than the i5 1135g7 that gpd was selling with their win 3 a few years back. Due to the better cpu and xe graphics.
It's actually a fair price for it.

>>9705515

>>9705515
And in many real world tests its around a 5625U in terms of power but cheaper. Not bad honestly.
https://youtu.be/NHFjRPES7jg

>>9705396
RG300 had fantastic shoulder buttons but that's because it only had L1/R1 and made nice and big and comfy. As soon as vertical handhelds try to include L2/R2, they always fuck it up and all four of them end up being trash. Fuck the RG35XX, fuck the Miyoo, I want an RG300 body with a 640x480 screen and a better processor. That's all I need.

>>9704110
Valve is more the exception than the rule. They can sort of take the hit because they make more than enough money on Steam to offset any losses.
Plus if SteamOS gets an official public release and is compatible with tons of PCs and x86 handhelds, then they pretty much get their name out there and take some of Windows' marketshare.

>>9705050
No RTC on a device people are guaranteed to Pokemon on
For what purpose

>>9705868
To teach them that other games exist

>>9705538

>>9706035
This looks kind of silly. The + looks like a better version of this concept.

>Steam Deck + New 3DS (the small one) is the best combo.
Personally I don't think there's many DS/3DS games worth playing that don't work fine on 1 screen with a screen swap hotkey for when touch is needed. Beyond that the Deck does everything the 3DS does but better. GBA integer scales perfectly to 5x on the Deck's screen, GB/NES/SNES isn't a choice between tiny integer scaling on an already low quality display or bilinear on a large display which again, due to the low quality screen looks pretty awful and in the case of GB/C was never how they were played on real hardware.

Personally, I'd just get a Deck for home use for when I want to play handhelds on my couch and a smaller chinkshit linux-based device for when I want something on the go. Probably the 353p given how comfortable it is in the hand.

The 3DS, despite how many games it technically has access to doesn't feel like it's ever worth using.

It might be a piece of shit but it's pretty comfortable. I've been playing pokemon crystal

I want to get a dedicated handheld, I just don't know which yet.

>>9706393
>I just don't know which yet.
Best thing to do is look at your use case and realistically what you want to get out of it. No use getting something like a Deck or a Ayn/Aya product if you don't need that much power, don't bother buying something cheap and weak if you want to emulate GCN and higher.

Look what what you're willing to compromise and what you're not. Unless you have a shit ton of cash burning a hole in your pocket, then just get what's top of the range right now.

>>9706393
Those controller attachments make the phone look goofy and oversized, especially with how tall phones are nowadays.
I just wish there was something like the Xperia Play where I can use the phone normally and slide out the controls on the go whenever I want to play something, but as far as I'm aware there are currently no new phones like this.

>>9699412
I found my psp after digging for hours in my closet and the screen is so much shittier than I remember lol

>>9700147
I just picked up the steam deck because I got a MacBook a year ago and can't play any of my steam games. I wanted to play half life mostly, but it just doesn't feel right on that size screen without a keyboard and mouse. I'm gonna try some other stuff, but I might just return it and get an older pc for the same price

Does anyone know if there any good budget handheld's for dreamcast
And ps2 emulation.

>know that a horizontal handheld will be more comfortable and have bigger screen

>>9705232
I don't feel like a massive faggot pulling out a vertical in public to play. I go on flights and shit often. Just weird pulling out some behemoth device. I couldn't imagine being in public with something like the steam deck. The vertical is just a gameboy to normies, and they don't think twice about it.

point being, even ps2 is nearly fullsteam on newer android tablets so why waste hundreds of dollars on a decent portable when i can use what i already have?
hate bluetooth? wow cool usbC plugs right in

3 months with the RG351V so far, and loving it. I use it almost exclusively for GB / GBC / GBA, but sooner or later I will get into snes stuff.

The handheld keeps surprising me with the weird ways in which the manufacturer cut costs. When playing with wired headphones I would keep hearing weird background noises, beeps, etc... Wireless interference from nearby phones and tablets. Not fun when it happens on a crowded train. And yes, it's not the headphones. They work fine with any other device and I have tried a few different ones. Looks like they did not place a lot of shielding inside.

Any shader recommendations? I am using LCD3X or LCD1X for most handhelds, but I'm not sure what would look ok for Snes since most shaders don't work with that 640x480 resolution

>>9699167

>imagine tossing your entire device because the shoulder buttons failed
just swap the part? at least for retroid and steam deck it's cheap and easy to get spare parts if anything breaks.

>>9706751
In small handhelds it's a lost cause. I don't use them save for 8 way movement in a jrpg like Wild Arms or Final Fantasy VII
.
The way I see it, unless the handheld is "big" and has decent grips, the one at the bottom will always be uncomfortable. Same as how using the d-pad on a non-XL 3DS sucks, or how I had to get a third party controller with the d-pad at the top for for certain Xbox games.

>>9706801
Heck, the reason I ended playing Shantae and The Pirate's curse with the analog (circle pad) is that my thumb was strained from playing with the d-pad at the bottom., not because I enjoyed using it.

>>9706105
The shoulder buttons on the + are all still facing the same direction, which means the problem won't be resolved.

>>9706801
In small form factors like this I prefer the analogue stick on the bottom, even if the game primarily uses the stick. It's easier to angle your thumb down to flick a stick than it is to angle it down and also press down on a dpad, my thumb just doesn't bend that way. And I don't like gripping a small handheld asymmetrically just to use the dpad, then the whole thing becomes uncomfortable.
I'm hoping the KT-R1, being roughly as big as a Vita, will be comfortable to use. The Vita is the only handheld I've ever used to have both a comfortable dpad and comfortable sticks, although that's mostly because they're slightly offset.

>>9707015
Agreed with pretty much all this except even on bigger form factors I prefer d-pad on top. 2D stuff like shmups, bmups, fighters, arcade puzzle, etc also just generally require far more precision and speed then anything you'll need to do on a left analog stick.

>>9706751
the rp3 is literally fine
you don't need to press your palms against the handheld hold it in your fingers

>>9708310
neither of those are the rp3 anon

>>9699562
POWkiddy x28 size comparison. Bigger than I'd like but it does look comfy.

>>9708364
Looks like Powkiddy is learning more from its mistakes from back in the v90 and early a66 times. X18, while definitely not perfect from what I have seen of it, is an improvement over the Coolboy machines, and A380 Dingoo. I dig the look and joystick of the Powkiddy A12, as well.

MIYOO Mini, RG35XX or RG353V?

>>9706740
I haven't found a CRT shader I really like on mine either, none of them look right on the screen.

>>9708327
could've sworn op was an rp3
should've opened the image again before posting

>>9708448
353v is just a better 35xx if price isn't an issue

>>9708448
I'd go Mini+ or RG35XX unless you need the extra power of the RG353V.
If you want to play stuff where you'd need the analog sticks though, you might be better off getting something horizontal instead.

anybody playing with the rg35xx now? how are the triggers?

>>9708364
>>9708436
PowKiddy always seemed like they focus on a unique silhouette first and then decide on hardware and usability later. And they really only shine when they deviate from that process (i.e. the RGB10 Max series)
This looks like they compromised between the two approaches, making a big ol slab first and foremost, but adding arbitrary angles around the edges. I'm guessing the result will be serviceable, but with complaints regarding the ergonomics particularly around the shoulders.

>>9705538
Is the R2/L2 on the RG351V really that bad? The position for those buttons are almost the same as the RG300.

>>9705136
>>9704089
Alright, I've been able to do the entire OS installation process just on the Android phone, worked better than I assumed it would, sorry i doubted you

>>9708861
Might have spoken too soon, keep getting some dbhelp error and the OS freezes at the "enter windows password" setup screen, also there was some random error in the last step of the OS setup but I didn't write down the message

>>9708871
Now it's working again because I turned back on the "use touch mouse input" setting, so I don't fucking know anymore, just werks i guess

I've waited like 4 weeks so far for a rp3+ to ship and I'm kinda over it now.
Should I just fucking cancel my order and buy a steamdeck or what, fuck these stupid niggers that cant even give you an estimated ship date or any info. their fucking official discord just insults you if you ask about it.

>>9709127
If you live in North America, just save yourself the hassle and buy the Deck.
Even if you ignore the Price/Perf ratio, even if you are weary about the idea of Linux, there's a reason why it's the go-to option. That's because Valve is based in America, shipping at most probably will only take you two weeks for this fucking Leaf anyways, and if you ever have problems, you can just RMA it to Valve instead of waiting for months for something to ship to China.
Or you can even do DIY repairs in a worst case scenario.

>>9709162
SOUTH KOREA, AND SE ASIA, PLEASE COME BACK TO MANUFACTURING AND ADVERTISING HANDHELDS! GIVE MAINLAND CHINA AND HK A GOOD KICK IN THEIR NUTS!

>>9709127
I got lucky and my RP3+ came really fast but I've heard many horror stories so I won't defend them. You always just have to pray you're lucky with chink shipping. There's always the option of paying a bit extra to order it from a UK reseller or something like that too.

>>9709162
>>9709230
Yeah I really want the rp3+ for its size and I just want to fucking play n64 with good fps and GameCube with some fps
The deck is huge and I may buy one too eventually but I try not to buy multiple things that take a long time to come, especially if they both do the same thing

>>9707482
>>9706117

Wait, Encarta 97 HAD GAMES?

Shit, I never found them. Time to get the virtual machine running.

>>9708451
With that screen size, shaders are not that necessary (at least for Mega drive and PSX), but they would help with Snes games when using a 4:3 aspect ratio.

The Advantage a good smartphone paired with a mobile controller has is that it will be able to use most desktop shaders thanks to the resolution. Still, I was probably using fakelotters or a potato shader to avoid draining the battery (which is why I ended getting a dedicated handheld)

>>9705076
The panic playdate (which is very much it's own indie thing, I know) is manufactured in Malaysia but not sold anywhere in SEA because shipping is so complicated and the prospective market is tiny. Although a SEA company could potentially manufacture a handheld and sell it primarily overseas, it may be far more complicated than it would be for a Chinese company with regards to logistics and tax. Not to mention the hurdle involved in rounding up investors etc.

>Couldn't decide between a Steam Deck, hacking a Vita, hacking a 3DS or getting the KT-R1

Some of us travel and want to play using a handheld on the plane or on the trip.
It's nice to have something with dedicated controller buttons vs some jank things you strap to a phone, and the footprint ends up being less in your luggage.
I just want something with more emulation power than my vita but in the same size so these are great

I applaud him personally. He's taken the worst aspects of 4chanspeak and turned it into a synthesized dialect for the purposes of prose-poetry. A moden day e.e. cummings but with hatred instead of love.

I literally cannot explain why I like vertical over horizontal, I literally think it’s just nostalgia consoomer instincts.

>>9710615
Horizontal reminds me of the game gear. I always thought the game gear back in the day was like a prototype of the ideal handheld, just poorly realized due to poor battery life. The steam deck reminds me of the game gear in many ways, but hey, at least you can charge the steam deck.

I use a backbone and have been having a blast playing DS games. The wideness of phone screens make them ideal for getting two screens up without too much compromise

>>9710776
A lot of phone controllers only let you play with the phone in a horizontal position though, which is stupid because phones are perfect for playing DS games vertically as they were intended to be played.

>>9710810
I think the closest thing to an ideal configuration is using one of those Z Fold tablets. But by that point you will probably feel like a huge fucking donkey for not just getting a DS to begin with.
Really all I need is a clamshell device with a modern snapdragon cpu. Steam deck is too bulk and anbernic uses smart fridge cpus which struggle to speed up pokemon games past 125%

Is the steam deck really that good for portable emulation?

Not really. There are a lot of deck fanboys though.

>>9710896
>but the oled vita is amazing.
it's alright but oled screens have evolved a lot since then a ton of og vita screens are just fucked now due to burn in and green shimmering

>>9710914

>portable
maybe if you carry around a backpack 24/7

is this build quality of 353m really that much better than the rp3+

>>9711360
No. The RP3 feels pretty well-built. Maybe it's just metal handheld fags acting like they're the greatest thing ever as usual.

>>9711360
no it's just metal.

>>9711363
>>9711364
figured, seems like waitchadding for KT might be the move but that handheld gives vaporware vibes, have several friends with RP3 who are pretty normie who love it, while I trust them to detect total scam shit I don't think they'd pick up on smaller stuff so thought I'd ask here

>>9711368
If you don't mind non-stacked shoulder buttons and the KT actually delivers and isn't vaporware, then I'd say it's better than the RP3+.

>>9711368
The RP3+ is legit just that good imo. I ordered a KTR1 mostly for the aspect ratio being good for both 4:3 and 16:9, but I honestly have no idea if it will be enough to replace my RP3+. I still really love the slim ergonomic profile and light weight that I don't expect the KTR1 to have. Also out of all the Android devices I've had so far (just Odin and RG505 aside from Retroid), the Retroids have been by far the best on the software side.

>>9711428
Fuck off Wu-Mao! Sure, there were capitalists who had hands in outsourcing manufacturing jobs and such, but its not a one-sided issue. Tariffs of some kind instead of the ""TPP"" bullshit that most Democrats and some among the Republicans signed in addition to other stuff with Kosher Red.

I do love how China will make whatever the fuck and doesn’t care, they’re kind of your final hope for a lot of obscure replacement parts for shit no one else will make for example. /csg/ has some genuinely fascinating (of questionable quality) tech that western countries outright refuse to manufacture or don’t do it cost competitively.

>>9710898
It’s really good for emulation since it’s pretty much a PC crammed into a handheld design.
That said it isn’t exactly portable, especially with the included Deck case which can take up a lot of space in your bag.

>>9711494
You're a tablet.

>>9711494
thank you grug
very excellent insightful shitpost

Does anyone think we'll EVER actually get a "real" handheld powerful enough to run 6th gen without compromises? I mean, we've hit the plateu for how small we can make semiconductors, tech as we know it has peaked and i just don't see it happening without lugging around what is essentially a cement block with a screen.

>>9711742
13" tablet anon
i guess the compromise would be that the screen is comically large
but it makes 2P stuff nice

What is the best bang for the buck chink handheld that can run GBA games at full speed with retroarch shaders?

>>9711742
GPD win 4 seems almost there, though still bigger than a switch

>>9711742
Snapdragons exist. So it's possible, just very expensive right now and not worth it for these companies.

>>9706687
When I'm looking for portability, the last thing I want is a fat ass android tablet that requires a separate controller.

>>9711742
It's possible even on the Android scene, but its not going to be dirt cheap for a while.

>>9711742
>I mean, we've hit the plateau for how small we can make semiconductors, tech as we know it has peaked
Is that true though? I thought phones were getting more powerful. 3nm chips are already a thing, 2nm is coming in 2024.
the issue is, handhelds generally use very cheap processors. if they used top of the line stuff, they'd likely cost $500 at the very least.

>>9711989
ill take backpacks and bags for $500 alex

>>9712148
You should read the article.

>>9712204
Huh ok, didn't know that. What the fuck then? So we truly reached smallest real node size? That's sad.
But then again, processors continued to progress though, right? There's clear difference in power consumption between all those "nm" processes, at least. Processors still get more powerful every year… right?

>>9712169
Fucking manchild carrying a backpack everywhere for his toddler games.
I just put my vita in my back pocket and go, I will do the same with my chinkshit rp3+ when it comes.

>>9711742
>>9711794
Yes only on very new stuff.
Like snapdragon and mediakek dimensity both have some chips on TSMC's 4mn process node which is fucking plenty for flawless gen6 emulation and even gen7 playable.
Also have whatever the fuck apple is using with their m2 pro tablet, similar note.
Still at least gamecube is playable on a lot of handhelds and so is ps2 while I think only the Xbox is really struggling due to big retard architecture difficulties

>>9710898
I picked one up because I got a MacBook and can't play all of my steam games, but it just doesn't feel right for most of the steam titles I've tried to play because of the smaller screen and the controls and it feels too big for handheld titles, so I think i'm just going to get a cheap older pc and a chink gameboy emulator

>>9712338
The people trying to ignore you calcking away at your Chinese Game Boy on the train aren't thinking about how small your toy is.

>>9712338

Not the same anon, but normalfags are too busy staring at their phones for their entire commute to notice what someone else is doing with their rectangular electronic device.
That being said, this is partly the reason why I want something like the Xperia Play and not a huge android tablet and a full controller to go along with it.

>vertislop
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWN!

>>9713918
vertislops are based

>>9713925
the only based vertislop imo is the CHADerswan in tate mode, simple as. Tate on a KT-R1 might also be kinda doable with d-pad on top if the two facebuttons on the left can be remapped to whatever. I know a lot of people would probably flip it the other way for right stick + face buttons, but analog for 2D action is too gay imo.

>>9710271
The biggest problem with most phones and tablets these days are that the aspect ratios on them are complete DOGSHIT for emulating anything that isn't 16:9, I don't mind black borders when emulating but not when the borders take up a huge portion of the screen, but there are too many zoomers who aren't interested in anything older than the PS2 so phone emulation is more appealing to them.

>>9713956
the biggest problem for me is I just fucking hate clip-on controls, but yeah that's the second biggest problem. I'll put up with 16:9 for handheld kino like the RP3, but it seems insane to me that anyone would want to go even wider than that. Really think 16:10 is best on the wide end and 3:2 on the narrow end.

>>9713925
I agree. Holding my hands that close to each other gives me anxiety and it looks gay.

>>9714015
>Holding my hands that close to each other gives me anxiety and it looks gay.

Isn't it bad? Or is everything else just much worse?

>>9715075

finna miyoo mini +. is there a similar priced horizontal device? or are 35xx and mini+ comfy enough?

>>9715252
Battery life on the Steam Deck varies wildly. With a lightweight game or more lighter forms of emulation and a 4-6W TDP, you could probably get about 5-6 hours or maybe more. For more demanding forms of emulation or the latest non-retro AAA trash at a full 15W for stable performance? Probably about 2 and a half.
And yeah, everything else is far worse. I don't know if it's because Windows 11 is just that much of a demanding, horribly bloated OS that drains a lot of potential resources, or if it's because Valve's APU is excellent at managing both power efficiency and performance. Because I dont think the battery is that much larger than something like the Ayaneo 2 or ONEXPLAYER devices, but it still lasts for much longer on the whole.

Is keepretro not legit? I was looking at it after I saw your comment. Shipping from chinkland? Not sure if its worth waiting for and stressing over when I can just get the ambernic on amazon and return it if its shit. I have the rg35xx coming today actually

>>9715802
im relatively new to chink handhelds so i have no idea how keepretro does their business, but popular youtube reviewers mention keepretro so i figure its legit. the only other chink stuff i bought was a rg280v off amazon and the rg35xx thats still on its way to me.

>>9715819
are you not in the US? I ordered this on Friday and its coming today.

>>9715819
Also, the 280v looks like AIDS to hold lol is it bad?

>>9715824
i am in the US, i bought the rg35xx straight off the official website. Maybe I should have ordered it off amazon instead? my rg280v was next day delivery so that was super fast

>>9715649
very likely, this mania is kinda fake ngl, look at rg35xx stock kek, they are almost identical handhelds...

>>9715828
oh yeah lol why the fuck would you order it from china when you could get it on amazon?

>>9715832
isn't it just tiktok fags? they're told to consoom one product then they need that one because it gives them street cred. I've read that the build is better on the ambernic too, though better battery life on the miyoo. The ambernic looks more like a dmg too, so I like that. The lack of bezel on the miyoo looks weird to me.

>>9715834
You said yours is getting delivered the next day after you ordered it? I'm seeing nothing on amazon that's even close to that. If I did it would have been a no brainer.
>>9715826
yeah its kinda bad honestly after getting over the size novelty, its why im buying the 35xx in the first place

>>9715846
It looks like the one I bought sold out. There is one I see in transparent white, which looks kinda shit. For some reason they aren't organized well, so I can probably find another if you want me to and can cancel your chink order.

ive seen people say they've gotten it 2 - 3 weeks later. If it gets to it; I dont mind if it gets here at the start of next month since I got other stuff I'm waiting on that comes out around that time.
>>9715876
Yeah i figure thats how long it'll take

>>9715880
I remember when shit just used to take that long to arrive from the US. Now, I'm spoiled and anything longer than 5 days feels like forever

>>9715867
I read Shatian as "Shitalian", I need to stop browsing /pol/

>RGC recommends buying the 35xx on amazon for $90
at that point just buy a 351v it's like $10 more

>>9715802
>>9715819
I got my Miyoo Mini from there.
Back then they had it in stock.

>>9715965

>>9715965
shipping from china? how long did it take?

>>9715958
I got it for 80 on amazon. I dont really like the look of the joystick and am not sure why id need it anyway. Playing ps1 on there seems like it'd be shitty

>>9716009
I live in europe and it took like 3 weeks.

>>9715868
It's in between the RP3+ and the Odin Lite in terms of power.

>>9702054
What about new/old 3DS/2DS then?

>>9715925
I thought shitalian was an /int/ meme

>>9716340
/int/ is a dead board filled with low iq third world cucks, they couldn't come up with something like that. Only good thing to come out of that board was a nafri girl sending me pics of her butthole.

>>9715868
It's made by one guy out of pure spite and aside from about six people no one has ever even seen one. But it looks like it might be amazing. It's supposed to ship next monthv with review units being sent out next week.

What handheld should i buy on Amazon?

>>9715075
The point of this thread is handhelds, obviously a majority of computers made in the last decade can probably out preform these devices but raw power isn't the point. I already have an emulator box in my living room that can emulate damn near everything I want but I still wanted something a dedicated device I can use to play vidya while away from home.

>>9716010
I've had the 351V since 2021, I don't use the stick at all and it doesn't get in the way during play, I think it would be a decent alternative if you want a little more power and don't mind the bump up in size.

>>9716515
> obviously a majority of computers made in the last decade can probably out preform these devices but raw power isn't the point
Not the steam deck though an old MacBook is way slower then that both the cpu and gpu, especially with intel integrated graphics.

>>9716480
Just get a steamdeck. It emulates everything, has a good sized screen, feels comfortable, isn't designed by a random Chinese guy in a basement in Shenzhen.

>>9715868
I honestly have no fucking idea. like at least 50% of the KT-R1 posts in these threads are from me. That said it sounds like it "runs" PS2 with a lot qualifiers, it's not something you can just recommend to someone who wants full PS2 coverage. Like >>9716246 it's sits between the RP3+ and Odins in terms of power, and the Odins can't run all of PS2 perfectly either. If RP3+ is around 20 - 30% of PS2 playable at fullspeed, I'm expecting the KT-R1 to cover maybe 40 - 60%.

>>9715856
I've been seeing a ton of reported battery, power, and screen issues with Anbernic devices for the last half year or so. they really need to get their shit together considering they usually charge premium prices and have dodgey as fuck customer support. Although tbf they aren't really charging a premium price for the 35xx in particular since it was made to stop Miyoo from continuing to eat their lunch.

>>9716620
eh that just means I can get my money back from amazon. if it does shit out eventually ill get a miyoo or an analogue pocket even though I dont like the look of it and dont need to use carts like a homo

>>9716634
Yeah if you buy from Amazon or Aliexpress you'll be fine, I was just speaking generally about Anbernic since it's been bugging me for a while.

>>9716640
I haven't really seen too much about their stuff being shoddy compared to how much I'd expect to see for some chinkware

>>9715276
> ONEXPLAYER devices, but it still lasts for much longer on the whole.
Only one player 2 has a good battery life , 3 hours playing intense triple a games like god of war

>>9709585
Games name?

>>9716613
i didn't even know it existed
none of the ecelebs are shilling it right now

>>9716750
The creator of the device said he plans to send out units to ecelebs anywhere from the 8th to the 10th of this month, but who knows when those will actually arrive and then how long it'll take ecelebs to actually make videos on them. Then again, he said that November of last year as well with Retro Game Corps even expecting one, but only ETA and Phawx made a video before things completely fizzled out.

What's the best cheap device that's ideal for GBA emulation? Not interested in vertical form factor, unless I have to pay out the ass for horizontal.

>>9716845
Ideal is probably still an RG351P since it has a 3:2 screen with an exact 2x integer scale.
Pretty much anything will do GBA well at this point though if that's still going for more than you want to spend.

>>9716776
Apparently the factory fucked up making the screen cable (they made it too short), so he has to delay a month. He's shown boxes and boxes of cases and boards on Discord so I'm assuming it's not complete vapourware. I pre-ordered one but even I have my reservations at the sceptic's hotel.

>>9716957
maybe my shitty post was confusing but I meant he's intending to send pre-production units to ecelebs this week. the rest of us peons will have to wait until april for shipping to start because of what you said.

>>9716974
It wasn't a shitty post it was a lovely post.
What I meant to say is that the factory thing delayed review units as well. He sent out literal handmade consoles to reviewers (and some more as kits) and was going to hand assemble some more but the factory sent the wrong wires.

>>9716994
Oh fuck, really? Well that sucks, guess I'll continue fucking starving over here even longer for news and impressions.

Damn this vertical handheld is uncomfortable lol that one guy was right. maybe ill get used to it though

>>9717048
are you this anon?
>>9715802

>>9717048
>he thought ledditors buying minis purely to take social media photos with pokeman booted before shelving was just a meme

>>9717062
yeah that's me lol
>>9717070
fucking fags

>>9717079
surely, you'll get used to it, unless you got basketball player sized hands

>>9717124
I have tiny pussy hands actually. This shit also has all these garbage games pre-loaded but no Mario. WTF is that?

>Powkiddy can release a v90 successor with a chip on par with the Mini/35XX and kill the vertislop craze instantly but they choose not to

>>9717062
I also did, indeed, get my money back, so if you want to do that it's possible

>>9717145
as in you decided to return it and join the hori master race? or as in you told jewmazon it was broken for a refund even though it's not?

>>9717145
post a pic of ur handheld dude

>>9711765
Anyone?

>>9717210
Maybe this >>9716872

>>9717130
better slap garlicos on that bitch

>>9717154
the battery exploded and blew my fingers off and some pajeet at the customer service chat gave me a refund

>>9717223
I didn't noticed that comment kek. Thanks!

>>9717079
Next time buy the RG353P

>>9717318
yeah, I feel like I have arthritis

Any good Ape Escape machine?

>>9717386
imo either an RP3+ or a KT-R1
>sticks parallel on bottom
>rp3 aspect ratio perfect for psp installment while kt-r1 is still good for the psp game while even better for the 4:3 games
>spreadsheet says rp3+ can run ape escape 2 perfectly while below video with seemingly unoptimized settings can run ape escape 3 almost perfectly, so the kt-r1 should have no trouble
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Ep54H5MRBeQ

>>9717229
gotta order a microsd adapter now, so I can do that and delete most of these shit games. this chink shit only charges with usb c to a for some reason too lol

tbQUITEh, the rg405 could've been cool if
>it had d-pad in the correct spot
>came in plastic
>didn't practically cost as much as a fucking 4gb ktr1 i know price hasn't been revealed but lets be real, this is anbernig and the 353 with a much weaker chip and smaller screen is already $145 before the $14 shipping
all in all, I blame t*ki.

>>9717817
The KT-R1 just looks like a typical Ambernig candy bar handheld but with better specs than anything they've put out in that size.

Kinda getting used to the rg35xx, but id recommend anyone to get a horizontal over a vertical. I have no idea how anyone can play the miyoo mini for even 5 minutes at a time.

what time does mini + get restocked at normally

miyoo horizontal never :(

>>9717229
yeah I didn't think id care, but this OS is so shit lol

>>9718406
I was more excited for the Miyoo P60 but that's even deader. It's clear Miyoo has massive problems getting devices produced for some reason.

>>9699167
So, is the rp3+ the best bang for your buck if want to play up to psp?
I looked at some videos and even 4:3 looks pretty good with minimal black bars

>>9718492
its a toss up between that and the rg505.
I can tell you though if you want one right now, you're waiting 3 months for the rp3+, no idea about the rg505 fulfillment times.

>>9718339
It's all about hand and finger placement.
I have big hands and in the first day playing with the RG35XX I was in pain with hand cramps, but some days later I got used. I did some hand adjustments and after that I played Rockman four hours without problems.
I had the same issue with the Vita at the start, but got used after doing some adjustments.

>>9718352
When they were restocking the normal mini was at this time
9AM GMT (UK)
10AM Central European Time
4AM Eastern Standard Time
1AM Pacific Standard Time
11PM Hawaii Standard Time (no Daylight Savings)

I want to play n64 games in a 4:3 handheld
Any recommendation?

>>9718580
The Retroid Pocket 2+ was the most powerful 4:3 handheld I think, and that plays N64 very well (and the slider works a little better than a stick at emulating the C buttons). However, Retroid doesn't make it anymore, so you're looking at third party resellers or buying used.
Other than that, the Anbernic 353 series is the current most powerful in that aspect ratio, and should also work well. The RG353P is probably the most suitable because of the stacked shoulder buttons.

Help me decide /vr/.
I want a horizontal device with good build quality and Dpad to play shit like DK Country.
Bonus points if it can emulate some PSP.
I had some Anbernics but the cfws always felt kinda janky.

>>9718690

>>9716441
>they couldn't come up with something like that
It takes high IQ to come up with something as ingenious as a portmanteau of shit and Italian.

How do you feel about Clockwork Pi?

>my chink toy probably derailed in a terrorist attack
>now my only (You) deleted by a vengeful trannitor
can it get any worse?

>>9719071
LOOOOOL my stupid post got banned for using a /pw/ word. Did someone really report me for that? You should’ve ordered off of Amazon

>play this piece of shit for an hour last night
>Ambernig save file corrupted and it’s just a white screen
Goylic OS better fix this

>>9719078
dweebs report over the dumbest shit I swear to god. anyways even if I wanted to order off amazon I don't think I could, it was parts to repair the shoulder button for my rp3 since I dropped and broke it like a retard. i also ordered one of those grips tho while i was at it out of curiosity. probably not gonna use it much, but it was $10 and I was already gonna have to pay shipping anyways so w/e.

>>9699167
Found my new handheld

>>9715075
dumb frogposter

I'll never forget this baby. Use to play megaman zero while waiting between classes. It was also my first smartphone. Sadly it'll never be topped.

>>9718608
I have a 2+ and the battery life is fucked. It lasts like 30 minutes. Apparently you can't replace the battery either? I need to research that more.

>>9719217
Actually nevermind, i found the right battery. I'll try to repair it. I also have a Miyoo Mini + otw for $67. Bought last night. Can I get a (you) because all I do is consoooooooom.

>>9719245
you got it m8. im addicted to consooming chinkshit too and desperately need help.

>>9719216

It's an easy enough repair, just try not to break the plastic tabs when you open it.

Is this really this queers voice? wtf
https://youtu.be/wWSckZz479w

>>9719438
It's probably his channel gimmick, it doesn't make it any less annoying though

>>9710280
>not being a kobayakawa chad
Pleb.

>>9719438
That's weird but what's even weirder is that one channel that has a sock puppet that makes lewd jokes using a weird text to speech voice
It sucks cause his actual review was great but I genuinely was so fucking uncomfortable having to hear that text to speech voice cut in randomly, what the fuck man

>>9719492
Team Pandory? I don't remember anything about a sock puppet, though. That guy is based but the jokes and their text-to-speech delivery are really lame. Doesn't make me uncomfortable or anything.

>>9719438
Yeah, it's really, really annoying. I'm amazed he has any subs at all. They probably all talk like that for real and think it's normal.

>>9719083
Throw away that mem card.

The Boss™ over at anbernig said the rg405m will be releasing at the end of this month, so a little ahead of the current goal for the KT-R1. Also looks like it weighs 265g. Not as light as I'd like, but certainly lighter than I was expecting. That's a little over 30g heavier than the RG353M and RP3+, but actually ~20g lighter than the RG505.

>>9720054
From what I’ve read, it’s basically a RP3+ with worse dpad/thumbstick layout, worse trigger layout and squarer screen?

>>9720208
That's probably right, yeah. It's the same chip as the RP3+, but otherwise the squarer shape and inline shoulders make me think of it as a worse KT-R1. I think the only way this really makes sense is if you were already going to get the KT-R1 with the wrong d-pad location and in metal, and anbernig doesn't completely fuck up the pricing.

>>9720220
>and anbernig doesn't completely fuck up the pricing
Not a chance, especially since it's metal. The KT-R1 is probably just going to be a better deal all around. Anbernic only has the advantage with reliability on production and shipping.

>>9720220
If they made a plastic version it would still be more expensive than the RP3+. As a metal version this will be more then the base KT-R1, I guarantee it.

my rp3+ shipped finally after exactly 4 weeks
apparently is arriving friday
kinda looking forward to it, I started playing OoT on my vita (never played any zeldashit before) and got to a point it just wasnt fun due to lag and framedrops. pretty much stopped the run and ordered the stupid rp3+ only to be extremely disappointed with time till fulfilment

Who /comfy/ here?

Just getting back to my Miyoo Mini. Last game I finished was Shiren the Wanderer for SNES. Now going though FFIV Ultima (romhack).

>>9719245
Miyoo Mini is based.
>>9720653
Is this your first playthrough? Download the romhack of OOT for some QOL changes. I think it's called OOT Redux or w/e.
>>9720054
Literally a RP3+ except with sane button placements (Start/Select).
>>9719438
That's what I imagined to sound like (some sperging poorfag retrogame autist as most of you), so it helps with the immersion.

>>9720681
>your first playthrough
yes, well i watched a friend play it and then tried playing it on my psp but it was dogshit and crashed in the first dungeon.
I'll have to look up the romhack, what does it basically do? as long as its still vanilla then thats ok i guess.

>>9720690
Here's the changelog. Mostly bugfixes and QOL changes that Nintendo didn't even bother with the 3DS remake. https://www.romhacking.net/hacks/5138/

You can get the prepatched ROM from CD Romance.
