why include unplayable laggy nonsense?
i get you can customize these or whatever but this just seems so fucking horrible anon

pic is from a few threads ago

to any anon reading this i recommend a used tablet and wired usb-c controller
i have a 13" tablet mounted to my car dash
on my lunchbreaks at work i can play ps2\dreamcast etc

>>9747328
These devices are all using the same emulation station and retroarch software, anon.
If the core works on the device you might as well chuck in support, and emulation station can be configured to hide empty collections.

>>9747374
>If the core works on the device
>If the core works
>works

it doesn't
lag, screen tearing, audio glitches, slowdown
please god no

>>9747391
Do you know this based on the device in OP pic or some older device?
These things are getting better performance all the time.

>>9747397
i have a gaming pc with an i9 and rtx 3080
emulation is still shit-tier and i refuse to play like that

what makes you think the handheld based on a snapdragon from 2004 is serviceable in any way whatsoever???

Do the 353 devices have enough juice to run a frame of runahead on Megadrive and Neo-Geo emulation? And for Megadrive, with this Nuked (YM2612) audio setting set as well? If any 353bros could test this I would appreciate it. I think it should probably be fine, but I know rk3326 devices couldn't handle it.

>>9747405
>snapdragon
>from 2004
At least try and make your bait a little fresher, would you? We have standards.

>pay $44 for shipping on my odin lite expecting 2 day shipping like my rp3
>estimated delivery date 9 days away
wtf...

>>9747325
There's something very off-putting about all that unused space on the bottom

Which handheld has the nicest screen?

>>9748405
The RG552. Really overpriced for the chip you get in it though.

>>9748373
maybe one day

>>9748485
Maybe when dual screen android phones become more popular and cheaper

Is the Pocket Flip more powerful than the Pocket 3+? My decision on which one I wanna get depends entirely on which can play more games reliably. I really do prefer more vertical handhelds, my only experience with these emulation devices is the RG35XX, which I adore.

>>9748537
Also, the only other factor making me hesitant between the two is the Flip's d-pad and analog sliders. I would very, very much prefer the Pocket 3+'s sticks and d-pad, but if the Flip can play a larger library, it might be worth it?

>>9748537
no its the same chip

>>9748537
The Flip is just a 3+ in a clamshell form factor. If I got a Flip, I'd miss the Vita styled D-Pad and the sticks on the 3+ but I guess it's nice to not have start and select in a retarded place too.

>>9748558
>>9748567
I can deal with the start/select being beside the L buttons, looks like I'll go with the Pocket 3+. I love the GBA SP's clamshell design, but not so much the DS's, and I fear how the Flip's hinge will handle with time and use. Thank you.

How's the q90 as a cheap piece of shit? I heard it has problems wit some gba games even with custom firmware. I've seen you could overclock for better ps1, but would doing that improve gba?

Which one of these feels best for PS1 games?
I don't care about Dreamcast or anything else and don't want a widescreen machine.

>>9748659
Rg353p

>>9748672
I have my doubts about the form factor

>>9748574
>GBA SP’s clamshell design
Powkiddy really needs get its shit together and release a V90 successor.

bros I got meme'd into buying a vita. the plus side is that I only paid $100 on ebay for a mint condition vita

>>9748725
I think you got a sweet deal, meme or no meme. Im sure you'll find use for it or at the very least flip it for a profit someday. Id use it as a mgs/ape escape machine and Id do it all for the cozy.

>>9748574
Debating selling my RP2+ for this. Looks significantly more pocketable than the cube shape the RP2+ is.

>>9748735
That's the thing... I already beat Peace walker and ape escape on it and I'm bored of it haha

I'd dare to say this is one of the last actually true good handhelds released.
Form factor is pefect, screen is perfect, analogs and buttons are decent, it has good enough power and it's actually portable. The other ones while they are getting more power, they're also becoming less portable.

Anyone else here loves their rg353p?

>>9748790
>RK3566
into the trash it goes

>>9748748
Cant that thing play snake eater? I think vitas got a katamari game on it also.

>>9748808
MGS2/3HD are available for it.

>>9748843
steamdeck

>>9748843
I don't know but I want it too.

>>9748847
steamdeck is not retro

>>9748843
The Sega Nomad

>>9748857
Why would the Sega Nomad be my ideal retro handheld console?

>>9748829
Sounds like you got a great deal fren. Stfu and keep it.

I don't think he understand what the word perfect means kek but regardless he seems to think the KT-R1 will run at least 90% of PS2 at full speed.

How easy would it be to move roms directly from my phone to a handheld? Would i be able to do it with a usb c to usb c or would i need adapters or some shit?

>>9748918
I sold mine years ago, no ridge racer.

>>9748790
Best of all it doesn’t need buttplugs to comfortably hold it.

>>9749006
some people are just never satisfied

Fucking retroid ship my 3+ already its been 8 days

>>9747321
>boots up 2D game
>uses analog stick

>>9748918
I will. thanks, bud

Don't know if this is the right spot or a different thread, but I have an opportunity to buy either a Neo Geo Pocket Color (silver shell, stock) or a Sega Nomad with a nicely done IPS mod - what do? I want both. I don't have a Sega Genesis so that's kind of a two birds one stone situation, except I wish I didn't have to be stuck using a big ol handheld as the P1 controller should I hook it up to my CRT (which btw my CRT has no audio, can I route the video from the Nomad to the TV then send audio out through the headphone jack into some speakers?)
Also Nomad is slightly more than twice the cost of the NGPC. What do?

>>9750730
Their both kinomachines imo, but I don't think you should have the Nomad as your first Megadrive over a Model 1 with the proper sound chip. So based on my bias and your circumstances, I'd recommend the NGPC for now.

>>9750737
Thanks anon, that's sort of what I've been thinking too - recently fell in love with the OG Model 1 sound chip, grew up with a Genesis 3 and so didn't have the best first impression but now want to return to the console with the best set up I can. NGPC is something I always thought was mysterious and cool, was allways on the periphery for me as nobody I knew irl had one and they just seemed totally inaccessible to me. The flash carts for them are cheap too, relatively. I''m thinking of getting either the Carbon or Granite one with an IPS mod + flash cart.

>ayn finally unveils the ayn frontend they were supposed to release a year ago
>it looks worse than the one rp2+ had early last year
what on earth did the premium brand of moorechip mean by this

>>9750783
>recently fell in love with the OG Model 1 sound chip
Very nice, it's magical innit? I think IPS mod + flash cart is a good game plan, maybe chuck in some rechargeable batteries in there too.

I had a NGPC back in the day, "mysterious and cool" is a perfect way to describe it. The microswitch thumbstick really is one of a kind, the ergonomics were great, and the visuals had such a unique flair to them. This is a really shitty way to describe it, but the active sprites were abnormally fluid for how low-res everything was, the backgrounds were abnormally detailed in contrast, and the colors were abnormally vibrant for an 8-bit machine.

>>9747325
I’m an idiot with more handhelds than he’ll ever play but I’ll fuckin try this out for $150. I’ve always said the DS lite is the perfect portable system form factor.

>>9750730
I'd get the nomad but I don't care that much about the correct sega fart.

>>9750942
le fart me is so fucking stupid and never ceases to get a rile out of me.

>>9750951
le fart *meme

>>9748790
>proper stacked shoulder buttons
Why don't more of their devices have this?

>>9747321
Between my Steam Deck and my Miyoo Mini I'm a very happy camper and have zero intentions to buy another handheld any time soon.
Currently playing through the GDI campaign in Tiberian Dawn on my Deck.

>>9751376
yeah, I got RG35XX, Switch and a Steam Deck and feel quite similar
maybe I'll get a clam shell for fun at a later point

>>9751376
When did you get your Deck and Mini?

>>9748725
its worth it for the vita games & psp alone
cps1(2) emulation etc is just a bonus

it will come up short as a dedicated emulation machine but who fucking cares

>>9750912
<3

>>9748624
q90
Why not the v90? Either way, the family pocket ips is the best chinkheld on the market you can get for under 40.

>>9750951
I never heard it until a few years ago. I had a model 2 as a kid but when I heard "sega fart" I knew exactly what it meant.

kinda wish I could see how many times i've refreshed the shipping tracker page like a complete lunatic.

>>9751396
Mini in June and Deck in October

>>9752142
MY TRACKING NUMBER ISN'T WORKING
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>9753106
have you tried
https://parcelsapp.com/

>>9753151
The UPS number will work once they've picked it up from valve.

>>9749006
Even the Super Famicom has one or two games not documented because they had some special snowflake coprocessor for like fishing or mahjong. Nobody cares when even the deep cuts are perfectly run.

>>9748524
You can get a Surface Duo 1 for like $350 tops, sometimes as low as $250. Though I think that's desperation for stock clearout

>>9748843
Unironically Steam Deck if you consider it a handheld (which I don't, that fucking xboxhueg piece of shit)

An IPhone

>>9754128
How does compare in size to the Model 1 Atari Lynx?

>>9754442
505 has the wrong analogue position
Trash

I just want something for 2d retro games, but is relatively light and pocketable, YET has a big screen of high quality. Is there anything other than the Vita? I know the 505 has the same screen as the Vita but that ugly boxy design and shit build quality seems really uninteresting. And if push comes to shove, perfect psp and psx emulation is more important to me than android games.

Basically, do we have a "vita 2" yet? How about the ayaneo air?

>>9748790
whats the best OS for this thing now?

>>9754687
ARKOS imo

>>9754687
People used to say JelOS, the they stopped working on the OS and later on they resumed the work, so I don’t know anymore.

>>9754642
Miyoo Mini, Retroid pocket 3+ and Steam Deck. These are the best choices at the moment. Steam deck isnt light and pocketable though.

Predictably, nil's paypal account is in trouble. Either it's because everyone is really indecisive and kept refunding (and the morons on the discord were *encouraging* others to do the same, so I believe it), or because of the fake tracking number thing. Apparently it doesn't affect old orders, just new ones, and won't delay shipment next month (until it inevitably does).

>>9754991
I thought JelOS was by one guy who worked on 351Elec

>>9755031
The other 2 systems you listed have too small screens. I want GBA to be bigger than the native GBA screen. So I'm looking at 4-5" screen sizes.

>>9755223
Oh the RP3+ has a decent sized screen. Need to do some comparisons with different aspect ratios. Might still get a vita lol since the only thing I'm missing from there is DS emu, and I can get that on my 3ds lol.

>>9754442
What is the one at the bottom?

>>9747325
>here's our device next to like 5 other devices you'd rather be playing on instead

>>9747325

I also kind of feel bad for Nil because he wanted to wait until the things were straight up ready to ship (or like a week away max) before opening orders, but westoid retards were pushing him to allow us to put our money down at the start of the year. Also PRETTY fucking sure he's not making the 4/10 ship start date kek.

>>9754548

>>9755320

>>9754642
>>9755268
The RP3+ is basically the closest thing we have to a Vita 2 imo. Great device overall, though the Vita 2k still edges it out on the ergonomic front , and the dpad is great but still not quite AS great as the one on the Vita. I play a lot of Dreamcast so I'd go with the RP3+ at this point if I had to pick only one, but if you go with the Vita, I personally recommend the 2k over the phat. Losing the OLED sucks, but the virtually perfect ergos, lighter weight, and flatter heads on the analog sticks make it the better choice imo.

The phat DOES have hall sensor sticks apparently while the 2k does not, however. You can grab replacement analogs for $3 - $5 after shipping on Aliexpress if you need them for the 2k, which I did for one of mine that started drifting. Replacement is thankfully pretty easy.

>>9754687
UnofficialOS, it just works, has stuff like Drastic working out of the box and everything is great, the themes are good and performance is great overall.

>>9747325
who is going to buy this in Fisher Price red?
looks so cheap

>>9755707
I'm not gonna buy one but I love how the red looks personally.

>>9755492
I'm starting to feel really sorry for nil. Almost the second he announced the PayPal thing there were vultures on his discord telling people it's all fraud and anyone buying is deluded and bla bla bla. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the people he's pissed off on QQ have been reporting him to PayPal out of spite and have come on discord to gloat.
Mind you, he practically sold out the first batch anyway so this might not make any difference for any current orders.

bros... my odin lite might get here tomorrow...

>>9755707
watermelon is going to sell out so fast

>>9755727
Yeah, some people really want this to be the next handheld tortanic Kirazuki in particular is a massively cringe faggot. Nil made some big mistakes with (((Paypal))) that left him vulnerable, but it seems like he's learning. Call me a fucking idiot but I really think Nil is acting in good faith with everything going on, but if not, no big deal. I have full refund protection from jewpal until August and then Visa protection on top of that. Worst case scenario I lose my money, it's my own fucking fault putting money down on a device no one even has and is made by one lone chink.

I'm expecting another delay which is gonna suck, but as long as Nil can ship a good working device before summer ends he'll be fine. Probably won't be the strongest device at this size for too much longer, but I think he's working as quickly as he can.

>>9755779
Sport Red is the only one that will actually sell out with limited quantities, but yeah watermelon is going to insanely backed up.

>>9755786
It seems, if anything, Nil has acted too much in good faith. Refunding people multiple times because they can't decide on a colour is insane.

>>9755779
Black looks better to me, but I think I’ll wait until the rp4 is released.

>>9755838
>rp4 non-plus
>not waiting for the real version that'll be released a month later
lmfao

>>9755779
That’s the one I like but I’m worried about that Translucent hinge

Steam deck simply cannot be beat at the current discount.
None of this chinkshit can hold a candle to it let's be real

>>9755816
Exactly. All these cunts dunking on him for getting punished for being too nice are going to turn him into a tyrant kek. I've seen people deny this was happening because it's not juicy enough for the tortanic narrative, but I have seen several people say they did as much firsthand. Same with the ram configuration. I'd be shocked if no one has done it to change d-pad placement or from plastic to metal/vice-versa. Nil got fucked because he was nice and naive enough to recommend refunds AND offer so many color and configuration options.

Hope this doesn't cause him to go the Anbernic route of "2 - 3 (ugly?) colors, one configuration, FUCK OFF if you don't like it" next time if he ever makes another device. The option to get the 405 in plastic + d-pad up top would've made it so much more attractive to me. Pic related at maybe 210g and $145 because it's in plastic? I love my RP3+, but I probably would've sold it for this.

>>9755880
of course not, but I still want a small chinkheld companion device.

In my defense I dock my current steamdeck full time as a desktop...

>>9755786
I think nil thould switch from (((Paypal))) to either Okpay or Serve (the latter by American express)

>>9755913
I don't know anything about it, but I think he said he's looking into adding a payment option called "Stripe".

>>9755905
uhh, based?

>>9755850
Hope is good enough to run 6th gen flawless.

>>9755930
>flawless
kek yeah nah that's not gonna happen. The Odin's still get assraped trying to run Xenosaga 2. It'll be pretty good for 6th gen tho if it has the D900 like I expect.

>>9749006
He is wrong for the most part with that definition, but the issue is more often software rather than hardware at that benchmark he laid out so he isn't entirely incorrect.

>>9755963
KTR1 is running a fairly up to date midrange mobile SOC in 2022 so not surprising it matches the D900 more or less. But yeah, expecting flawless for 6th gen is hopium when the emulation software isn't ready for 6th gen and even the latest and greatest Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 has issues running it. Expect everything on ARM that isn't running Apple Silicon M chips with macOS to not even come close.

>>9756079
That post was about a potential RP4/+ rather than the KTR1, but yeah the G99 is a pretty good chip.
Like the D900 in the Odin Lite, it has better single core performance than the SD845 in the Odin Pro.

I'll only buy an RP4 if the Start and Select positions are fixed and the handheld doesn't get any bigger because the 3 is already at the limit of what should fit in your pocket.

>>9755880
I have a gaming PC for real shit and there's basically no situation where "want to hunker down and play for hours" and "I need something portable" overlap
Probably an excellent machine for people without a real gaming solution though

>>9755905
Gee Bill your mom let's you have THREE steam decks??

>>9756095
Oh okay, but yes, the post still applies. Nothing is getting "flawless" 6th generation emulation right now, but at best for that pricepoint, you can expect the ability to run well known working games even if it takes hacks and frameskip. On ARM, that is more than good enough given where the $100-$150 market is right now and how cheap and better chips can get in a year or so especially given how the Cortex X line of cores are likely to get into the $200 pricepoint with SOCs now getting them there in mobile with the Snapdragon 7+ Gen 2.

>>9756219
Agreed, anything around or above 70% for PS2 and I'm pretty dang happy.

Just got a Steam Deck to replace my Retroid Pocket 3+. What new emulation options open up to me? I can run up to PS1/Dreamcast/Gamecube on the RP3+, I'm guessing Steam Deck gets me PS2, Wii, Wii U, and Switch?

>>9756256
yup plus some ps3 and xbox. unless you already sold it I'd keep the rp3+, it's a nice smaller companion device for when you want that.

Sold my RP2+ today because I don't want to be a fucking handheld hoarder with like 10 different devices, but I'm sad about it bros. The look and feel of the thing really was a lot better than I even remembered. I played around with it a bit one final time before resetting and packing up.

gonna miss you little nigger, you were my first chinkheld love not gonna miss the black being a fingerprint magnet and dpad on bottom tho

>>9756272
>ps3 and xbox
Wow, that's insane. Never would have imagined I'd be able to emulate PS3 games on the go.

>unless you already sold it I'd keep the rp3+
I might sell it to a relative, I let them mess around with it a bit and they said they kind of wanted one, but your point about it being smaller is a good one. It would probably be easier to bring the RP3+ along if I'm travelling or something.

>>9756287
How many do you have now?

>>9756348
A Deck, an RP3+, some Vitas (should really probably sell at least two of these as well because somehow I have fucking 4), and a Powkiddy A12 and a rk2023 in the mail, and a KTR1 on order

>>9756360
Why? I only have 2 systems and its already confusing to keep track of progress in all the games I play on them, my phone, laptop and pc

>>9756370
I don't know man, I have issues. I'm going to sell either the KTR1 or the RP3+ when I receive the former depending on which one I decide I like more, so at least that won't add to my hoarding problem.

there's a grip for the flip now on retroid's site if anyone cares.

>>9747321
What do you use to charge your handhelds? I mostly use PC but I just got this, that should work fine right?

>>9755635
Yeah RP3+ seems decent but desu the vita seems next level for ergonomics. I know it's not as powerful but for what I'd use it for (gameboy color + advance + snes) it seems fine. Perfect psx and psp 2x resolution and rudimentary n64 support too. Hell, there's even a custom Mario 64 60fps version for it. For the ergo and handheld the vita seems like the best thing now. I have a steam deck for anything real 3D that I want to play like ps2 and GameCube so I won't miss that.

It's funny. I had a launch Vita in 2012 but I sold it a year later because no games. Now I'm buying it again just because it was a beautiful machine and the best hardware I can imagine for revisiting classic games. I also have a new 3ds buried in a closet I can hack for DS games if I ever feel the need for that as well.

>>9756632
Yes, use the second USB output with the 1A so that can't cause any problems to the battery.
I also use my PC.

how do u do fellow kids???

Recently got the RG35xx with GarlicOS right now I just have gameboy advance and ps1 games on it and doing a playthrough of front mission 3. Any tips on video settings or mods to improve my experience further?

D-Pad is shit and causes accidental diagonals way too easily, ruins the whole thing.

>>9757513
Seems like a lot of Anbernic's d-pads have issues with diagonals. So much for that reputation of having the best d-pads in the business.

>>9757017
Yeah I know, I specifically got a 1A charger

Ordered a Deck yesterday. Hopefully it'll feel good enough in my tiny baby hands.
>>9754231

Honestly, I don't know anymore if it is a problem with the mgba core, the Anbernic RG351V, or the rom itself. So my question: For people who play GBA games on the RG351 family, does it struggle with frame rate drops when some special effects happen?

I have been playing the Pokémon Clover Romhack, and every time a status attack has a a effect applied to the entire pokemon sprite (like a fast rainbow like cycling), it drops from 60 to 53 fps and the sound starts cuts until the effect is over.

I though it was the Anbernic, or maybe ArkOS not being great. I copied the savegame to the phone, a Galaxy A52 with 6 times the ram of the rg351 and a much better GPU and... same situation. I don't know if the romhack is attempting a graphical technique that was not possible on the original hardware and what I'm seeing is accurate emulation.

>>9757807
Wrong screenshot, no idea where that one came from

>>9757810
Maybe stop using heavy shaders retard

What should the guy who has pretty much everything get?

I'm thinking I'm missing a more practical portable option, so the original Miyoo Mini seems ideal. I don't feel the need to have PS2 or GC emulation since I have the Steam Deck

>>9758029
a girlfriend

>>9758029
I'm in your position and I'm unironically gonna get a retroid flip because I love the ability to just toss a clamshell in my bag and call it a day and not have to worry about carrying cases or anything. So that'll be my "more practical" true portable while my Deck will be my PS2 that I just happen to be able to take with me.

But to each their own. If I didn't have such a hard on for clamshells I'd probably be happy with trading between my 3DS and PSP

>>9757903
Happens exactly the same with or without shaders, mong.

>>9757807
Have you tried it with mGBA on your PC? If it's just this romhack, maybe try another core like gbSP or VBA Next.

>>9758029
the handheld for a man that owns it all is the 999999 in 1 tetris brick device

>>9758029
What is the one shaped like a stick in the top right? I think I had that thing as a kid.

I just can't understand why so many people love the 552. it's fairly big and heavy, it's underpowered even compared to the 353 line (which itself is underpowered compared to even the rp2+), the battery life is atrocious, and the price is peak anbernig. but people fucking love the thing. Does anyone here have one?

Also while I think get the praise for the screen in general, I don't get the degree of praise for the aspect ratio. It's certainly better than 16:9 or god forbid 20:9 for 4:3 games, but it's still relatively wider than 16:10 and 3:2.

>>9758565
Nobody likes the RG552 itself, people just like the screen because it handles integer scaling of most systems well.

>>9755905
genuinely what the fuck lmao

>>9756334
It's not whizbang gonna run MGS4 but I'll bet Tokyo Jungle is playable.

yo niggers why do the Retroid Pocket Flip site has the device all sold out if it still has 6 hours to release? are we getting chinked? and whats with the TF card? is that a microsd card or what?

>>9758770
TF is the old name for microSD, stands for TransFlash.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SD_card

>>9758790
>transflash

is it wise to go for a Retroid Pocket Flip right now? or is something juicier coming this year? When will we get decent PS2 emulation in an affordable handheld?

>>9758897
If what you really want is power rather than being drawn to the formfactor, then yeah it's probably a good idea to wait. KTR1 will probably be out soon, RP4 will probably come out this summer or fall with a D900/comparable chip, RP Flip+ with the same chip will probably be a few months after that, and it sounds like the upcoming Powkiddy Max 3 is gonna have some considerable juice as well. None of these will be perfect for PS2 obviously, but they'll be pretty decent.

There's also already existing GPD XP+ with a D1200 that's pretty close to perfect for PS2, but I wouldn't call it affordable and has a horrific aspect ratio. An upcoming RG506 is supposed to have the same chip and should be a reasonable size with a 5 inch screen, but apparently it will have d-pad on bottom so I've already written it off, and knowing Anbernic I expect the price to suck. Then there's the upcoming Aya Neo Air Pocket and supposedly a Ayn Odin 2 being worked on, but who fucking knows when those will be out or how much they'll cost.

alternatively you can just get a 64gb Deck for 10% off right now and be done with it.

Retroid is an automatic wait and see after what they pulled with the 3 and 3+

ecelebs are starting to get the new slew of chinkhelds. the fuckx got the 405m, some other cunt saying he might be able to put a rk2023 review up by the end of the week, and nil saying he might finally ship ktr1 review units this weekend for the 3rd time.

Ayn can't even get the Loki off the ground, when is that thing coming?

>>9759043
>Loki is having troubles
Why and how?

>>9759018
Ah neat, another generation of Anbernic devices.

Are these low power consumption like RG353 or high power consumption with active cooling like RG552? The name suggests it's somewhere in-between.

>>9759096
it's the T618, same chip as in the RP3+ and RG505. very power efficient and doesn't require active cooling.

I've owned a Retroid Flip since 2015

>>9759117
Cool, well guess I'll keep an eye on it.
If they did an RG405P with the same SNES style design as RG353P, I'd be very interested, it's ergonomically one of my favourite systems but let down by an annoying sleep mode bug.

>>9759132
how are the ergonomics on this thing? seems uncomfortable to hold for more than 15 minutes.

>>9758897
Steam deck is less than $400 on sale right now.

>>9759196
>Dimensity 1200
Too high end for handhelds. Try in another year. Although I expect at that point stuff like the Snapdragon 770/780 series chips to be cheap enough to compete by that point. I am surprised no one is trying to use the Snapdragon 720 chips given Logitch tried for their handheld so it didn't seem like Qualcomm was charging a premium for them.

>>9758897
It would at least be nice if the Retroid Flip 1) came in colors other than red such as black, white, pink, blue, or purple. And 2) support for external controllers.

Got my RG35XX today, i'm excited. Tomorrow is bath day, i'll soak for a few hours, eat chips and play a few games.
Life is good!

It feels good, totally worth 52€ i think. Not sure if i got the larger battery and newer hardware revision. I hope not, as i wanted to run MinOS.

The preloaded SD card didn't come with Tetris or Super Mario though. What a let down.

>>9748624
Update, there's a rg350 for 55, but I'm not sure if I'll like it. (The anlongs in the listing also look weird)

>Thinking of consooming another handheld you don't need soon?
i am.
honestly, i have a hacked switch and 3ds that are probably plenty for everything i do, and yet, i still kinda want a smaller form factor thing and almost bought some chink powkiddy v90 or w/e their GBA SP knockoff is called, and im tempted to buy the ambernic a351 or w/e their gameboy style one is, but i think i want something smaller.

>>9759613
>totally worth 52
Where did you get at that price?

Should I get a RP3+ or Vita for PSP?

>>9760538
Aliexpress, the shop had or maybe still has a coupon, like 5 for everything over 40€ or so. Then Aliexpress had something too, so the price went down further.

>>9760803
I also ordered these cool looking buttons from Japan. I think they where 25€ in the end ;-)

>>9760807
Replacing my not so portable setup, a Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+. Great screen, awesome power, but not really a handheld.
I think i payed 700€ or so, imagine it falling in the tub.Also the cable for the controller is bothersome.

>>9760816
With a screen like that it must be hard going back to portable screen though.

>>9759328
cant order it from my country. scalpers on aliexpress charge too much for it. 900$ with shipping for the medium version.

>>9760821
Yeah, the screen is brillant.
I was looking for a cheaper 5.5 inch (4:3 or 3:2) IPS or OLED, but there is nothing on the market.

>>9760840
What country?

>>9760841
A 5" 3:2 OLED would be endgame.

>>9760845
North Macedonia.

>>9759639
Welp, someone literally just bought the rg350, so the q90 and rs97 are only options for cheap trash. I beard thr buttons on the 97 are super shit, but I can't tell. Jxd had the right idea using cheap phone chips for their handhelds. Most of those could play up to ps1 just fine while being cheap as fuck. It's just thier buttons were awful and they felt like thwy would break just holding them. I kidna miss em.

>>9760848
South Serbia? I see. At least you are not Serbia.

Maybe find a friend in Greece and order there? Shouldn't be too hard, really, if you are really determined. Good luck to you.

Has anyone else had issues with Anbernic devices shipping with bad /faulty components like a broken power button for example? Keep in mind I purchased mine on Amazon both times.

>>9760848

I can order one for you anon. Considering it's on sale rn, including shipping, I can probably do it for less than €500. Drop a burner email if you're interested

>>9761485
I'm 100% serious tho. I get €100 for the mundane task of waiting 2 weeks and shipping a small computer across the border and you get a steam deck that doesn't cost a fortune. Once again, just leave a burner email if you want to do it. Or you know, don't, nobody's forcing you.

>>9761109
His biggest contribution? The start and select placement.

(I haven’t watched it)

>>9761409
Does the lack of usb c make that much of a difference?

I've been using an RG351 model for the last 2 years.This year it seems like we are getting some actual handhelds instead of everyone trying to copy the Shitendo Switch/Shit Deck.

These two currently look to be the most promising, I'll wait for enough people to buy them to get the CFW patches rolling and to bring up any negatives. Powkiddy tend to use cheap plastic hopefully this one doesn't.

>>9761650
I can't get over how ugly widescreen clamshell is.

>>9761650
a 4:3 clamshell seems like a slamdunk. Maybe Anbernic will put one out if the flip succeeds

>>9761650
My RK2023 arrived in my country 2 days ago, so hopefully I'll have it soon and be able to post impressions. I already have a sd card flashed with the rg353v version of ArkOS to see if that actually works kek.

>>9761686
I'm not huge on widescreen or clamshell but I actually think it looks p nice.

>>9761686
I really would have preferred they copied the GBA SP design or DS lite. They are both much better imo as a pocketable device but clamshell are so rare and the only other one that comes to mind was shit.

>>9761693
This, just do this but with quality materials and we will have the best emulation portable device

>>9761706
>>9761693
I actually don't understand why clamshell is so desirable since screens don't get scratched anymore. The 353m seems like ideal form factor imo, people forget how lumpy the SP was.
DS it makes sense for a clamshell because how else can you fit two separate screens in there, but yeah there's so much wasted space they could have added 2 more face buttons and made a killer sega/n64 handheld.

>>9761716
It could just entirely be me, but I just always enjoyed them. I dropped portrait devices as soon as they let me then went SP>Lite>O3DS>RG351. I prefer the slider joysticks on portable devices but honestly I don't mind if they just don't have sticks at all I'd only use them for Mario 64 or Ape Escape.

>>9761109
Jesus, this video is bizarre. His main contribution seems to be a word document that had things like "make it really powerful and cheap" and 'Super Nintendo colour scheme please". Nothing about the chipset, power management, screen, mainboard layout, drivers, Android kernel... you know, the actual things that go into hardware development. Nope, he told them to make it the same colour as the ones they already made and told them his favourite of the ones that they designed, and that magically turns into 'I made this'.
He's lost his fucking mind.

>>9761767
he's an autistic child, please understand.

>>9761767
The video is simultaneously "I'm solely responsible for this incredible device that you all love" and finger wagging at a Chinese company for doing Chinese company bullshit.

This dude is nuts

>>9761636
He literally never mentions the Start and Select placement once.

>>9761716
I just think theyre neat

>>9761798
The fact he didn't try to play the hero and go "I tried to tell them that was retarded but they wouldn't listen!!!" makes me think he really was responsible for that kek.

>>9761109
>the part where he almost starts crying because he found an sd card with roms on it

>>9761109
>>9761636
>>9761798
Watching it right now, he literally fucking skips talking about the Start and Select buttons at all when going over the buttons. It's obvious he knows people hate them and doesn't want people to blame him for it.

>>9761823
>NOOOOOOOO THINK OF THE HECKIN LAWERINOS
Even if the cards they ship them on are trash, I still love the fact POWkiddy and Anbernig will sell their products with thousands of random roms on them to americans and simply not give a fuck.

>>9761767
It's not as weird as him saying "I've since gone on to create a lot of product categories" when you remember the DIY handheld saga.
But he really doesn't sound like he was much of an employee. He doesn't know about the software that went into it or any changes made, he doesn't even sound like a QA tester of any kind. It's even weirder than a channel like MVG and his "I made this" saga.

>>9761716
Let’s you fit more stuff into a fairly small package.

what is taki udon's problem? He seems at war with the emulation handheld industry. like he is just constantly miserable and fighting a solo battle against mediocre chinese products writ large. Russ (RGC) on the other hand seems like he just enjoys gaming while otherwise serving up exactly the same content. and then there is ETA who I'm fairly certain is an AI testing technology 24/7.

>>9761834
>It's even weirder than a channel like MVG and his "I made this" saga.
QRD? I remember seeing a video from him where he claimed he made some popular emulators on the OG xbox

>>9761875
>and then there is ETA who I'm fairly certain is an AI testing technology 24/7

>>9761829
Thing is, I think retroid doesnt include roms for products they ship overseas. No shit CHINESE lawyers wouldnt care qbout a chinese product with ilegal roms. He even points out he ordered the version meant for china.

>>9761889
Yeah they don't, I've ordered 3 products from them now and none have had roms included. Taki is just a neurotic busybody.

>>9762207
I'm not even sure what his problem is. Most people think the RP3 came out just fine aside from the stupid start/select and volume button placements. And the one thing that actually made people angry which was the 3+ announcement, had nothing to do with him anyway.

>bossman said they would be making a dpad on top device after this

>>9762186
Even if everything else was right if they put the analog stick in the place it is on the top device its a piece of shit I'd never use. Why is it so hard to put a dpad on these devices in the right place.

>>9762197
>if it's shaped like the 353p again i don't fucking want it.
Why not? Is pure comfy shape.

>>9762186

50 minutes too, I think he has finally lost it. I mean being into this sort of stuff and reviewing is already a bit eccentric and most of these youtubers are just that but man even for a niche retro """emulation"""""/umpcs like this. Grim bro.

I don't want to call him a lolcow as I find it a bit harsh but he has practically shredded of any sort of credibility he had.
I didn't really like him after his win600 video the device isn't total ewaste and has some use cases considering in can emulate switch games.

>>9761650
Honestly the flip looks cute.

>>9762308

Probably, similar to 4chan but honestly there has to be a limit to how balls to the wall insane you have to be.

Even the steam deck community thing is filled with autismoo circlejerking to the point where it looks like a cult. I don't get it considering the steam deck is very buggy, it's crashed on me more times than my laptop has in 3 years (and my laptop is a potato running on integrated graphics) and I've only had it for two weeks.

>>9762348
I understand it plays pc games but honestly I wouldn't mind if it costed more and the user experience was more refined, the graphics isn't a large selling point as I have an m1 ipad.

Even though its been a year the software still sorta sucks and the other space takes up too much space on the 64 gb model. Like why even sell that version sell it if it gets filled up after you install a few games.

There are problems with stuttering in certian games and in forza horizon 5 the game just straight up crashed on me, and that was a game valve advertised ran well on the deck.

Installing games from other launchers is bad and using it as a pc doesn't really work, windows doesn't work well at all, running it on an external ssd.

The whole device from the software to the user experience is very first gen to the point where it hurts the overall experience. Even for £349 I still feel like the price is a bit too high for all the issues it has, it's really really a first gen product.

>>9762186
Im the only one who likes the analog on top. I own three devices with the d pad on top and I want one with the stick on top because I suspect its more comfortable with playing n64 and up.

>>9762378
I would be in heaven with all the handheld PC offerings if I liked analog on top. Also Odin Lite.

>>9762339
Eta prime exists to let you know that there's gadgets out there, his take on them is irrelevant because he gets 1 frame per second on a GameCube game and thinks it's the second coming

>>9762401
I guess thats true. I think I regret not ordering odin lite.

>>9761695
Cheers :-)
I'll monitor the threads for your pics then.

>>9762378
I want both sticks on top. I flipped my 353m upside down and its surprisingly comfy

>>9762180
Cheers, mate.
Most say it looks like a poor mans setup.
I had a smaller bluetooth 8bitdo before, but my hands are huge, imagine a farmer that digs for potatoes 8 hours a day, every day. My wife likes to get a good fingering, but my hands aren't very good for small retro handhelds.
Had the LDK, it was a disaster.
Anyway, i replaced the smaller SN30 (picrel) with the larger Pro 2.

The tablet is better than any handheld in every aspect except, portability, no doubt. But it would be a shame if i dropped it in bath water, which is why i wanted something cheaper. Enter the RG35XX.

>>9762451

I have a bunch of software installed but the only actual mod I've used is CryoUtils. Maybe that's why? Something you added is causing it?

>>9762714
>Tourist here, didn’t know these things existed, cool af. How do you get the games on them? I suppose you have to download the roms and put them on?
For most of them, yes. The Analogue Pocket is unique in that it plays actual Game Boy cartridges (on top of roms). Some cheap, shitty devices come with a ton of roms already.

>>9762476

>>9762714
Some of them come with games preinstalled because China. They usually have a games partition on the sd card so you can add more.

ETA is completely worthless, he has no standards. I barely ever recall him saying anything negative about any of the chinkshit he has reviewed, and his positive comments are always the same. He also has the same problem as MVG of referring to fucking anything that can play Tetris as a "EMULATION POWERHOUSE/BEAST/whatever" for clickbait.

so, can I blame taki for the retarded start/select placement then? Don't feel like watching a 50min video to find out

>>9762848
you don't need to blame anyone anon, move on with your life and play fun old vidya

>>9762812
I've learned a lot from him just by being able to see how well X runs on Y, including many devices that Taki and RGC don't cover. Because of ETA, I also first learned about Samsung DEX, Fire Toolbox, and other neat stuff. For emulation handhelds specifically, Taki and RGC are obviously a lot more thorough.

and literally no one was surprised in the fucking least

What's a fair price for a GBA (AGB)? I wanted to get a broken one since I was gonna swap the shell and screen and such anyway, but I'm only seeing like a $20 difference between broken and working sometimes. I would hate to waste a good original shell, but I'm scared to cut one, so wanted an aftermarket one. I've been looking on eBay and even the for parts/repair listings get bid to $50+.

>>9763005
Check FBM to see if there's anything decent locally

>>9762848
>can I blame taki for the retarded start/select placement
Probably since he keeps avoiding the question in the video comments, but like >>9762913 said, you should just move on from it unlike Taki.

>>9762913
That's what I'm trying to do Anon, in a portable and comfy way, but faggots like him keep preventing me from doing so by taking retarded design decisions

>>9762467
>Russ is dunking on Taki now

bummer if true, russ should go out of his way to be above edrama even when he's in the right

>>9763017
I don't use facebook, but it let me search without an account so I checked. Not too much looked reasonably priced, and not many broken ones for sale in general.

>>9762328
>3ds emulation which is usually shit on the 3+ is somehow almost half decent
>Full speed gamecube f-zero
>Better ps2 performance
>Wii fps is also almost acceptable
>Won't say how he achieved this boost to stay on retroid's good side.
Assuming you can get root on the retroid, he either used a gpu governor to overclock, or he's streaming.

>>9763239
Maybe it’s this trick https://retrogamecorps.com/2022/01/16/retroid-pocket-2-starter-guide/#Sleep

Any good ones in 2023 that are small? I was looking at a Miyoo Mini a while back but they've jumped in price recently.

>>9763370
Cheaper? Probably not. There is one by anbernic which is slightly bigger but I think it cost the same or around that price range.

>>9763370
Powkiddy gave the firmware files and sources of the X39/X45/X51/X70 to a couple of developers. Those will be good once they have cfw.

Any experience with this handheld? I think I’d rather get a cheap and underpowered handheld with a good screen than something more powerful but tiny, after all I just want to play while in bed. My only fear is the quality of the materials. Is there a better alternative?

bros......our guy just posted his review......I can't believe I'm saying this but he really enjoyed it......

uhh yeah, I'm thinking that's a 480p metallic BEAST.

>>9763689
not clicking, russ impressions later today

Anyone using the Win600 in 2023? I'm considering one given the current Ali sale and lack of cheap Steam Decks in the third world.

>>9763729
anon get a steam deck not some unsupported hobbyist project

>>9761716
I just like being able to throw something in my work or day bag and not worry about scratching a screen or fooling around with a carrying case. It just feels very "grab and go" to me which is how portable systems should feel. It feels so self-defeating when I reach into my bag and pull out another goddamn bag which then houses my handheld system.

Russ' impressions.

Thoughts on the Anbernic RG35XX

>>9763885
Kinda looks and sounds like he sped up the video slightly, kek. Maybe he was annoyed that what he intended to be a quick video ended up spiraling out closer to his typical video length if so.

>>9763847
Start reading eta’s descriptions. Theres 2-3 typos every video

>>9763902
Yeah nvm, he was just talking and moving fast at the beginning of the vid and slows down after.

What's a good first time handheld to buy with games already loaded?

Hello almighty handheld lovers
I've come for your guidance having very little experience in this regard

I would like to run the following in the order of priority
- dos games
- psx games
- SNES / GBA / GBC
- maybe other platforms as well

Do I understand correctly that an android phone with emulators is my best bet considering i want to play dos games?
I tried playing touchscreen and it sucks fucking ass, serviceable for some games (usually turnbased) at best

Can a controller substitute for a point-and-click mouse in real-time games (slower paced)?
Which controllers are usually recommended for comfortable gaming?

>>9763754
>anon get a steam deck not some unsupported hobbyist project
Steam os is practically some unsupported hobist project compared to any other operating syem (if you don't count other linux distributions)
And you shouldn't pay a premium for a steam deck if you live in a place they don't ship, the software is first gen stuff.
>>9763729
I wouldn’t really buy that at all. I'll be honestly mobile gaming is good enough.

Nil still thinks he's on track to start shipping KTR1s on the second week of April. To me that sounds crazy and I'm pretty sure he's wrong, but I hope he's right.

>>9763987
none
handhelds with games on them use shitty SD cards that fail and crappy copies of the roms

>>9764001
Vita, unironically

>>9747321
I wonder why nearly all of Analogue's products, including even the Pocket, have such a FUCKING LONG wait time after purchasing?

>>9764184
thanks, but is it really the best option?
I mean it means buying secondhand and dealing with shady 3d party software, doesn't it?

>>9764058
He keeps saying he'll send review units out but he never does.

>>9761965
For lower end chips, yeah, but the problem is as chips get hotter and more power hungry, difference naturally will happen with performance like if cooling is insufficient or the boost behavior of the device is different. That's why smartphone still have top end comparisons pertaining to performance even with the same chips, the variance of the implementation can vary an entire chip tier based on how good the software is at managing the hardware. That being said, Taki is absolutely just extending the length of his video doing that, there's no excuse for it frankly other than that.

So few of these have front-facing speakers. How's the audio on the RP3+? Will it feel like a downgrade from a N3DSXL?

>>9764021
>having the backing of a corporation like Valve making their own Linux distribution isn't good enough to deem said distribution not a hobbyist project compared to well supported distributions that are community hobby projects
Okay, Mr. I-need-IBM-or-no-one

>>9764290
Nothing shady about Vita home brew. No more than emus on android or Linux.
Performance wise it can do everything you listed full speed. It has top tier ergonomics, screen fidelity, and controls. It's a great size. It's not very expensive. Personally I think it's your best bet. I just bought one second hand myself and am expecting it Monday.

>>9764303
this weekend for sure.

>nil more or less stopped talking to us after odin fangirls raided over the paypal lock
feels bad man.

>>9763885
>same device as the RP2+ for 75% more money
how does anbernic get away with it?

Is there a linux image for the 353M?

ecelebs were a mistake

Kind of wondering if the 353M on sale and wait for something like an RP4+ is the move. That clam shell looks like a QA disaster, the 405 processor doesn’t really make sense with that screen (and the fuck awful stick placement), and I’d like to see something that moves the needle more on GameCube/PS2. I only have the RG35XX though.

>>9764775
absolutely buckbroken

>>9764785
so now he's claiming he *funded* the creation of the RP3+ as well?

>Missed the steam sale for the 64GB Deck

Want something mostly to play GBA and GBC games on, RG35xx or what?

I have a powerful gaming PC, but playing these old games on a 32" 4k monitor makes them look ugly as hell

>>9764831
Is vertical the style you're set on? Because I recommend the 351p if you're not. It's pretty cheap and is perfect for gba. I use Amberelec firmware on mine.

>>9764798
the 353m is neat, but even on sale is grossly overpriced. Also if you're worried about QA you should know the 353m has a lot of issues with the screens (as in lines of pixels dying and sometimes the entire screen shitting out) and battery/power.

>>9763891
It's a miyoo mini + that's in stock.

>now it's different, but still wrong
I unironically think ETA is dyslexic, or insanely sloppy. Literally every video is littered with typos

>@2:18 the resolution of the screen is listed as 640x48
>his description starts off with 'In this video' written twice in a row
>random words are capitalized, like 'metal'
>'We do an unboxing, take look at the specs'
>'take look'

You can do this with literally every video he uploads. Both the specs part of the video and the written description. The fact that here he has mislabeled the *name of the product he is reviewing* twice in two different ways in the thumbnail is toppest of keks. He either is dyslexic or he just mows through these reviews on autopilot and could not care less.
I still enjoy his content but as an autist this kind of stuff bothers me.

>>9765072
Considering he has nothing of note to say in his videos, I think we can assume that he is only blasting through videos to maximize ad revenue.

Who the fuck comes up with these resolutions?

>>9765823
the poor bastard coding the custom lcd drivers

I've been dabbling into Cloud gaming recently with my Samsung Galaxy S Tab 7+ and Xbox Series X controller. Steam Link is a fantastic app.

>>9765823
That's QXGA, 4x the resolution of XGA (1024x768). Pretty common in the CRT world, and I think it was standardised by VESA, although I might be wrong about that.
