/vr/ - Retro Games

Should I get a RG351P or a Retroid Pocket 2+ ??

I just wanna play Megadrive, SNES, PC-Engine & PS1 games.

Which one is better?

>>9784441
Also considering the Miyoo Mini Plus.

Only problem is it can't play Ape Escape or Resident Evil Dualshock since it has no sticks :(

>>9784462
>Monster Khaos
My favorite

>>9784462
Miyoo mini is a meme, too small for practical gayming. That’s why it was forgotten the moment the new anbernic vertical handheld was released.

>>9784587
Miyoo Mini Plus is twice the size. Its about as big as the RG35XX

>>9784441
Not sure but an owner of RP2+ here. The right analog sucks, I've reverted to just using vita for ps1 games.

>>9784605
See below select space.

>>9784587
I played through several games on mine just fine. Just don't play anything that needs the shoulder buttons much.

>>9784462
The real problem with the mini plus is going to be stock availability, good luck getting it at non hyper scalped prices

>>9784441
The RP2+ has a much more suitable screen for most retro systems and is significantly more powerful than the 351 so you'll probably be better off with that. The downsides are that the dpad is in the wrong place for 16 bit and below systems, and the sticks are naff. No L3 and R3 and the right slider is serviceable at best (although weirdly I quite like if for emulating the N64's C buttons). This may or may not be an issue depending on which PS1 games you want to play.

Is this a legit site?
https://jp.anbernic.com/products/rg35xx?variant=43609010634977
Just want to know before I buy.

>>9784797
anbernic.com is the official site.

>>9784801
Yeah I live in Japan atm and clicking Japan in the global drop down gives me the same website.

This game is less clunky than I remember. Probably helps I'm not nine years old like last time around

Reminder that if you don't play with a giant Galaxy Tab S7 Pros OLED screen with a divine shader, you will never experience Gameboy Tetris as it was meant to be experienced.

You must be very proud of this picture, you post it in every thread.

>>9784910
You sound jelly because you have nothing to be proud of.

>>9784797
Alright let's fucking goo

>>9784861
I don't get how people can stand Android's input system. It feels like it has 10 years of input lag both wired and through bluetooth, on controllers that work fine elsewhere.

>>9784919
Japanbro, check my pic, i ordered these and should have them next week.

>>9784927
Can't say that i noticed with wired. Is this real or merely a cosmetic issue?

>>9784948
Hope you payed with Paypal ;-)

>>9784940
>>9784954
These will likely cost more than what i payed for the device once they are in Germany ;-)
Well, it's supposed to be a present, so money is no objective and it makes the handhels with the nice knobs pretty much unique in Europe.
I will likely post it for month here, just to piss of poor fags.

>>9784915
You could have made a 'JelOS' pun, but no, you had to act like a ponce.

>>9784980
Accept my apologies :-)

Was looking through AliExpress for a new shell for my GBA SP and came across these.
Seems there's a bunch of different metal shells for different Nintendo portables. Anyone tried these?

>>9785026
And of course I forgot to attach the picture

Just got my rp3+, everything has been a dream on it, playing shit like SC2 on dolphin is kind of crazy. Getting Saturn games working right has been kind of a bitch though, that console is just a mess in general to emulate if you aren't using Beetle.

Did anyone ever successfully link up 16 Gameboys with Facebook 2000?

>>9784940
>>9784954
Do they fix the dpad issue without the electrical tape.

>>9785029
Why would you ever, for any reason, turn an SP into a tall advance?

>>9785160
I don't think so. But obviously i'll apply the tape once i implant them.

>>9785029
Most likely a knockoff/third shift version of the funky pixel metal GBA no hinge shell.

It's probably OK but see what's included, the original warrantied version is $95 for the shell alone.

It kind of seems like a waste of money desu, it doesn't make the console any more comfortable to play and it's arguably less practical, I'd just buy a plastic shell that has the slot for a headphone jack and go with that, soldering a jack in is easy as hell

>>9785169
You should check first if you have the problem.
The problem is case by case.

>>9785197
Right, will give it a good testing.

>>9785213
Good one to test that would show it is Fire Red

>>9781872
Well, what do you know. Fucking chinks.

I have a Deck now, but I don't feel like emulating anything...

>>9784817
are original playstation games 1:1 on the psp?

>>9785530
Is that why you are standing in drag before us and defend the nashville shootings?
Sell the Deck, come home white man.

Bro, just buy a Pico8, bro.

>>9785167
If it moves the cartridge slot the. It might be more convenient for gun/ubc games?

>>9784440
OP you fucked up
the old thread isn't even at the bump limit still after 50 replies in your thread, so now we have 2 threads
wait until the reply count is in italics next time before creating a new thread

>>9785717
OP meant well and i'm sure OP has learned a lesson here.

>>9785534
>are original playstation games 1:1 on the psp?
Close enough, I'd say. Hard to tell the difference between the eboot PSP versions and the original releases.

>>9785534
>>9785785
i think anon is asking about res in which case the answer is no

>>9785273
Ask her “do you want to marry me?”

>>9784919
This is anti patriotic.

Fuck, whatever, tell me the best value on 4:3, D-Pad up horizontal chinkhelds please. The powkiddy shilled last thread is too frail, saw a guy on the verge of breaking it by twisting it.

>>9785884
>BOYHOM
I'll pass.

>>9786041
RG35XX then DPad mod.

>>9785503
Update: Using Skraper to make an image set and .dat file then importing that to Daijisho fixed it, both for MAME and Neo Geo, if anyone else has been struggling with this.

>>9786076
Horizontal, anon. And by d-pad mod you mean tape?

>>9786041
I really, REALLY think the rk2023 is the way to go, but fine. If you insist on the twist, then the Q90 seems like a great value and Russ really liked it. Also has a snazzy transparent color option, think the power is around the RG35XX and Miyoo Minis give or take. You could also wait for the 4:3 KTR1 that Nil says will totally be announced next month LMAO if you aren't too worried about price.

>>9786102
what the fuck is nil's problem?

>>9786114
I think he legitimately believes he can make these deadlines he sets and is fucking shocked when literally anything goes wrong.

>>9786041
>powkiddy
It's the current value proposition for your usecase.
I recommend not to twist it until it breaks, that is stupid.
I could do the same with a Deck and it would give, but that would be equally stupid.

>>9786102
Don't get the Q90, I have the V90 and it has a trash screen and feels like its made out of recycled mik cartons.

Spend another $20 and get one of the entry level Anbernic devices or something better used

If I want a DS which is the best to get, DS Lite is cheap and I remember it feeling great, but N3DS is way more powerful and obviously can play 3DS games

But the 3DS games I want to play all look great on a computer monitor and the 3DS series are all super expensive at the minute

>>9787140
If you want to play DS games mainly then don't get a 3DS. The screen resolutions aren't the same and they end up looking really blurry (or really small). If you like the way the DS Lite feels then that's the best bet. Plus you get the whole GBA library and it looks pretty good on the DS screen.

>>9785785
Cram it ma'am!

>nil still ghosting everyone
ktbros...

Did you know that Donkey Kong was actually Mario’s pet? The original game was like you rescuing your girlfriend from a golden retriever.

>>9787140
The Dpad from the lite is disgusting and the phat one is too big to be pocketable.
Get the DSi, the Dpad and buttons feel good and the screens are better imo.
No need for a flashcard either, you can easily hack it from the SD-card slot.

>>9786102
>>9786138
>>9787137
Oh, that sucks. Thanks.

Anyway, here's the follow-up, maybe I should just cancel it before he ships a rock.

>>9787993
She is kawai, are you going to marry her do not.

>>9787967
DS Lite has already been consoomed
Also, I have a GBA flashcart for the second slot so w/e.

>>9787813
I'm sure we'll have the weekly announcement tomorrow that it's been delayed another week.

Are there any actually good wrap around controllers for android?

All the ones I can find have no headphone jack and cover the speakers

>Buy a chinkheld
I have one on the way but I'm interested in this as well, my phone has an oled screen and games look beautiful on it but no controls is killing me

>It's my neurological disorder, I get to choose the hyperfixation

>>9788035
There's just so many problems with telescopic controllers that I don't feel bad leaving all that extra power on the table and using a chinkheld.
>every single one has the D-Pad in the wrong spot
>most of them have shit quality buttons and d-pad anyway
>very few of them have charge or headphone jack passthrough
>very few of them let you place the phone in a vertical layout when vertical layouts would be optimal for the DS Drastic emulator
>the whole setup is just way too wide and natural, like the steam deck except without feeling ergonomic and having proper weight distribution

RG35XX's dpad - shit or passable? That's the only thing I need to know before buying it. And I've seen a tweet from that one YouTuber who said there will be a new revision with a WiFi and some changes, do you think they'll address the dpad or is there nothing to address? I don't really care for WiFi and FTP and cheevos and all that shit

>>9788035
Maybe get one of those phone clips for a regular controller?

>>9788035
The N1 controller has an charge-through and headphone jack, but the way the usb connector is designed will destroy your usb port. The buttons are kinda fucked too. It uses switch style dpad, vita style left stick, and 3ds pad right stick.

>>9788351
what kind of unholy abomination is this

>>9788351
>That combination of inputs
Fucking why
>>9788328
I'm thinking about it but I'm trying to find one that can be rotated to vertical, for muh DS

>>9788229
I feel like someone must come out with a good one eventually, its frustrating as fuck, especially for DS and 3DS
My phone is a better DS than the DS ever was, but there is no controller around to facilitate actually using it for anything other than Etrian Odyssey and Pokemon

>>9788351
anyone that would give you buttons in place of a d-pad is literally satan but I really like the round shape

>>9788372
>please understand: the input device

vaguely related but can i just say it triggers the absolute fuck out of me when russ opts to use analog stick for 2d arcade games? same when chinks demonstrating their handhelds use the analog for any 2D game

>>9788351
>switch style dpad, vita style left stick, and 3ds pad right stick
Did they purposefully go out of their way to pick the worst parts from every handheld?<div class="xa23b"><span class="xa23t"></span><span class="xa23i"></span></div>

>>9788269
see what the other anon said >>9785197
I didn't have problems with mine. Also, when you test try with others CFW like GarlicOS or MinUI.
Now if there will really be a new revision I recommend to wait just because of the larger battery.
But, there's already a new batch for the RG35XX out with just a larger battery that was released in march.

>>9788387
This is why a lot of time I ignore his review part about controls. The guy even complained about rattle for the shoulder buttons in the RG35XX. When I received mine and tested I heard nothing, same goes for the D-Pad where I had no problems with the diagonals.
I think this youtubers reviewers are always complaining about something in their videos just to generate content for the next video so that they can "fix" the said problem.

>>9788372
Tape a quarter over the "d-pad" and it'd probably be okay.
Who the fuck greenlit this design though?

>>9788465
Thanks, I'll probably wait. Hope the new revision will not somehow be noticeably pricier and overall useless.

>>9788484
The opposite happens just as much. Reviewers will say buttons or d-pads feel great and then you try them yourself and they suck. Could just be personal preference at play but still annoying.

My vita should be here by the fifth.

>>9788372
That thing looks cool. Too bad most games don't fit on my phone screen properly and this controller doesn't fit my phone either.

>>9787993
Cancel. Buying something online shouldn't be such a rickety process. They have the wares and name a price, you click buy and pay, the wares get sent.
At no point should there a need for communication, haggling or saving on shipping cost.

>>9788269
It works. If it is problematic, open it and apply the fix.
In any case, it works.

>>9788328
This is a fine controller, but the clip makes it so that the weight of the phone is leveraged to tire out your hand. I wouldn't recommend it.
At least try to simulate it with some carton and tape for ten minutes, to see how fast your hand will tire out.

>>9788465
New revision is sent out since end of february, as this one is popular, i doubt you get the first revision. In any case, the battery grows from 2100 to 2300mAh, it's maybe 20 minutes max.

>>9788484
>The guy even complained about rattle for the shoulder buttons in the RG35XX.
Well, there is some play to be fair, but it's miniscule. Totally not a problem, all in all it's a really good device compared to previous once for around $60.

>>9788562
That cat has incredibly short legs, it will not be able to survive outside.

>>9786564
>zoomie needs to have his screen stretched into widescreen at all times

I ordered a miyoo mini plus mar 6th and it hasn't arrived yet. I ordered a rg35xx mar 22nd and it arrived yesterday. I got the bigger battery and the new PCB. Played with it last night and majority of today.

Overall build quality is really fucking nice. It's kinda aids to setup the PS folder for multi disc games using the Tiny Best Set.

>>9788269
Dpad is kinda shit on the rg35xx. It feels really nice (mushier than a Switch Pro dpad, stiffer than a DS4 dpad), but the dpad is way too sensitive. On Metroid Zero Mission it's extremely prevalent. You can move left and right by tilting the very bottom of the dpad. This also holds true for each of the directions.

It highly depends on how you use the dpad. I roll the fleshy part of my thumb over the dpad like an analog stick so I don't get any false diagonals.

>>9789097
>Metroid Zero Mission
This game is so good for testing buttons on devices. It's how I realized I didn't like the shoulder buttons on the RG350M.

>>9788904
Yeah, I guess. First time getting chinked in 4 years, store has decent ratings too, fucker singled me out for no reason. Can't a guy suffer with rentals in Pokemon Stadium on the go?

Also, can anyone with a RG353 do me a favor and test Dragon Ball Z: Idainaru Dragon Ball Densetsu on the Saturn?

what's the best way for a poorfag to get buttons onto a smartphone?
like actual poorfag, diy capable, but I don't have ideas
I thought something would exist that would suction onto the screen, clicky conductive buttons
but all I can find are shitty sliding ministick kind that doesn't seem to even work properly
can I salvage a membrane keyboard parts to try to make something like that?

>>9788963
wtf are you even saying

>>9789406
what phone?

>>9789595
he's saying >zoomie needs to have his screen stretched into widescreen at all times

Bit of a specific question, but what's the battery life like on the EZ Flash Omega Definitive Edition when it is being used on a AGS-001 system? Because everyone and their god damned grandmother says that cart has an abysmal two hour battery life.. on their modded SP systems with max brightness IPS screens and what not. I cannot find even the smallest shred of information about the battery life when it is being used with an unmodded system, let alone a 001.

>>9789595
I think he meant ">zoomie needs to have his screen stretched into widescreen at all times" by writing ">zoomie needs to have his screen stretched into widescreen at all times"

>>9789796
While I'm not sure, in regard to your question, I do think that as long you're using one of these batteries, you should easily be able to get over three, maybe even over four hours out of the DE. On unmodded SPs. I specify on that battery because original SP batteries are bound to be weak as hell two decades later, and the cheap chinese replacement SP batteries are straight up underpowered.

What is the actual difference between the EZ Flash Omega DE and the non DE?

I have the older version and don't understand why the new revision has suddenly quadrupled in price

>>9789829
nta but I ordered one of these. thanks anon

>>9789852
Omega DE has
>FRAM-based saving (much more reliable)
>Rumble support
>DS slot-2 link support
>Somewhat better battery life

side note but if you're using either cart you can significantly improve battery life by disabling RTC

The battery life is the main benefit of the DE over the original. The original was a power hog whereas the DE is close to the most recent Everdrive in terms of power consumption.

>>9789872
is the RTC referring to the in game clock feature? don't only a few GBA games use that anyway like pokepeople?

>>9789884
The everdrive still has a significant advantage. Omega DE is about halfway between the old Omega and the Everdrive.
https://docs google com/spreadsheets/d/1baIDOZlUjERhOsmc5Uexz-6v63oGIfMhQQ3zYBDSzL8/edit

>>9789886
Correct.

>>9788035
the only one that fits your criteria and won't blow up or break your system is unfortunately very mediocre still: the backbone one controller for android. it fits and holds well but the buttons are pretty meh for what you're paying, but if you need the headphone jack then that's about the best you're gonna get.

>>9789968
What if I'm willing to sacrifice the headphone jack, anything that can do vertical and horizontal?

Can the retroid pocket 2 (not 2+) play Pokemmo? And how does it handle N64/Saturn?

>>9790146
>Pokémmo
No idea, sorry
>N64
Surprisingly good. The standalone mupen app runs everything (even stuff like GoldenEye) on the fast preset at 240p. Obviously you might get some bugs on the fast preset, but overall it's very playable. You can get even better speed on N64oid, but that doesn't recognise the right stick.
>Saturn
The frame rates are so low you might as well take up a hobby between frames, like learning Sanskrit or writing an encyclopedia.

Well well well, it turns out nil was not a faggot and has actually shipped preview units out.
He's also said he's going to the factory to personally oversee production. I have visions of him turning up in a crown and a cape.

>>9789889
At least people are citing this google document instead of that one popular, stupid youtube video where the battery lives of the Everdrive and DE were compared.. on different modded SP systems with different batteries.
Even so, the extra features the DE has are nice, even if some of them are janky. The DE menus are rather pleasant with their colours and thumbnails for the games, but the save state feature for GBA titles works sometimes, and creates bugs in-game at other times. Not really recommended to use that.

>>9790238
>but the save state feature for GBA titles works sometimes, and creates bugs in-game at other times. Not really recommended to use that.
Do you have much experience with that? I'm especially interested in games that crash immediately on boot if save states are enabled.

>>9790232
pleasantly suprised he finally made one of the dates he set for himself, even if only barely. I still don't understand how he can maintain there only being a few days delay past April 10th for shipping starting when he's going to the factory for the start of production on the 9th. Also last I checked plastic shells STILL aren't ready even now, but I guess he could just start shipping metal orders first which was his original plan anyways.

>>9790248
Which games are you interested in? As it stands now I've only played a dozen games on it.

How is 3DS emulation on the SD?
A used New3DS is averaging £120 on Ebay right now, tempted to spend more to get the Deck for other emulation as well, the screen etc. is so much better than any of the iterations of DS.
Or I could just cheap out and wait for some wine mom to sell her kid's console on FB marketplace

>russ's latest video is basically a hitjob on the 405m that says its their best device yet while 90% of the screen time is devoted to hinting at or outright telling viewers why they shouldn't buy a 405m
holy kek. honestly feeling a bit of schadenfreude because it could've been kino if it didn't have dpad in the wrong location and came in plastic.

also seeing him play arcade shmups with the analog stick and accidentally make a bunch of a weird dippy motions when trying to move around as a result (timestamped link below) might be the most horrific thing I've seen him do to date.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=Rq3x8jTl2gU&t=1110

>>9790381
>How is 3DS emulation on the SD?
wtf does this even mean
playing 3ds games off the sd card is flawless, the games run natively on the actual hardware
playing ds games off the sd card is flawless, the games run natively on the actual hardware
playing (injected) gba games off the sd card is flawless, the games run natively on the actual hardware
playing (injected) gb games off the sd card is flawless, the games run natively on the actual hardware

oh steam deck can also mean sd nevermind

>>9789097
I pre-ordered a Miyoo + off keepretro the day they were announced. They never shipped so I filed a charge back from Paypal. They disputed the charge back and sent Paypal a fake tracking number to "prove" they had shipped it out. Paypal told those chinks to get fucked and gave me my money back.

After seeing the shit build quality of the Miyoo, I will be going with the RG35xx.

>>9790381
I played through the two 3ds Ace Attorney games on my Deck and didn't have any issues + really preferred having everything on one screen and being able to use the touchpad in lieu of actually touching the screen. I hate the dual screen systems though, so your mileage may vary.

>>9790397
Whether you were being serious or this is your attempt at humor, as someone who recently got diagnosed with ASD I would encourage you to get tested.

>>9790416
So you can use the touchpads to operate a mouse cursor within Citra on the deck?

That's pretty nice, I use the touchpad on a DS4 controller on the desktop to do the same thing

>>9790421
Zoom zoom.

>>9790395
>the part where he complains about all the "tinkering" he has to do to play gamecube games
thankfully most people will actually play the games after setting them up and not just test them for 5 minutes before moving on to the next one.

After falling for the handheld meme and getting both a phone controller and a retro handheld I came to a conclusion that gaming on a handheld mostly sucks and I much prefer playing on my computer or couch with better controls and a bigger screen. I play racing games a lot and difference between playing them on a handheld and PC is night and day. One exception is DS and 3DS games which require the touch screen, those feel better with a phone than on a PC with a mouse and I'm not willing to get original hardware for those.

Maybe Steam Deck is better and more comfortable but I'm not willing to invest in that.

>>9790486
>thankfully most people will actually play the games after setting them up and not just test them for 5 minutes before moving on to the next one.
I wouldn't be so sure about that.

>>9790220

thanks for the info, its disappointing saturn doesnt work well

i cucked myself and accidentally bid on a RP2 when i thought it was a RP2+

>>9784861
This is obviously inferior to the handheld chads but nice cope carrying that thing in your pocket

>>9790395
>>9790486
why would you play Gamecube and PS2 games with those shoulder buttons?

>>9790146
The original retroid pocket 2 (not plus) had lots on lag in the *Android menu* so I have a hard time believing pokemmo would run on it

>>9784861
Are these tablets worth getting as a general entertainment device? Mostly for muh shows and Manga

I don't have space in my room for anything big so its the choice between a tablet and rigging up some SBC abortion to an old TV

>>9790523
What a snarky comment, you basterd son of a benchod.

>>9790543
For that i would get a cheaper Tablet, mine is a higher priced one, i dropped 1100€ when it was new.
Check out the Samsung Tab A8, should be available for 200€ or so and it will do what you want.
It will also emulate up until Playstation without problems.

>spend days building and curating rom collection

>>9790663
We have this, like, whatsapp group with some of my IRL + online friends. We use it to hype up games, retro included.

Right now we are on a gamecube rush. We've been playing through the same games at the same time and share tips/opinions about.

Huge boost to gaming motivation, highly recommended mate.

>>9790497
You don’t like it because the screen is too small?

>>9790671
My IRL friends, while incredibly close and important to me and I talk with them daily, do not fuck with /vr/ games. They actually play quite a bit of games but it's mostly stuff like valorant, MMOs, tarkov, that stuff. I actually don't know anyone IRL that plays retro games, even on the Switch subscription service whatever the hell that's called.

>>9790671
Can we pretend we are friends too?

>>9790673
Oh interesting. I actually didn't have much interest in retro. My IRL friends pulled me into /vr/ when I was a young adult.
DESU I'm the guy who mostly plays current gen/online the most. It so happened I have a lot of love for Sony consoles so I usually dig out quite a bit of gems we play together through.

And yeah, being able to pay for the Switch Online sub together has been quite the help. Now that they've added GBA I have some interest in it myself : D

>>9790674
You should defo pick up polish. Happy to introduce you to the group then : D

What dungeon crawlers, if any, are available for handheld emulation?
I can play up to Playstation with my RG35XX.

>>9790725
Shiren the wanderer for the snes.

>>9790725
Dungeon Master and Arcana for SNES

>>9789889
For me, the DE is better than the Everdrive simply because it has rumble and games can be loaded into NORFLASH, allowing you to switch the cart into mode B where it boots the game directly from the NORFLASH. This takes the analysis paralysis of the OSD out of the equation and makes the cart boot just like a normal GBA game.

Also, battery life hasn't been an issue even with hours long periods of play. I've played over lunch breaks, then all evening and night when I get home, never worrying about the battery. Only reason one would care is if you have poor memory and forget to charge things all the time, or if you're the type to leave things on or in sleep mode for forever instead of just saving and powering down.

One of the few reasons I respect him more than other chinkheld reviewers is because he actually plays and completes games, including GCN ones; he talks about that in his videos pretty regularly. He's currently playing through the original Metroid Prime, and had made it to Phenandra Drifts after a few days of brief sporadic play.

I lost all of my close friends when they started doing nothing but play FFXIV. It's been a couple of years and it's still all they do. My desire to play multiplayer stuff has diminished without them so now I've been finally working on playing through the games I never got around to. GBA SP has been my handheld of choice for a bit.

>>9790815
>>9790673
None of my friends play games, I haven't played a game IRL with someone since university 6 years ago.

I just want to play Street Fighter all night again, wish there was a club around here to do that, there used to be one in my uni city, took over a pub one day a week

Is there a retro gaming discord or IRC or something? We could get net play going

>>9790672
Yeah it's fine for stuff like Pokemon and Turn based games but not things which require quick reactions

>>9790820
>discord
Don't even entertain the idea. Discord is the only reason my friends went from chill guys hanging out playing games together and having healthy lives to terminally online and otherwise passionless people. Try to seek in person community as much as possible.

>>9781326
>Check shipping again today
>On aircraft to gwailo land

Chang redemption arc? Do they do this kind of thing often? Advertise something as being actually in Europe/NA then air shipping it from china instead of putting it on the boat and hoping you don't notice?

I have an insatiable hunger for more power in smaller form factors that cannot be quenched at this current time.

When will the chinese handheld arms race escalate to DS knockoff devices? Come on, just fucking slap two of the things together, make it $200, why not, just do it already.

>>9790961
It probably isn't very cost effective to shell out for 2 screens.

>>9790820
Not sure where you are based, but in the UK, back when I used to live there, there used to be quite a few gaming oriented pubs. Same right now in Poland, quite easy to meet fellow gamers.

>>9790815
Excellent choice. Not sure how You folks go around playing your backlog. I usually jump on a certain console and play through 2-3 games I wanted to play back in the day and then switch over to the new one.

>>9790957
>tfw like smol but not too smol so pretty happy with the RP3+ and looking forward to the KTR1
RG506 and RP4 will probably be announced sometime in the summer as well. I've already written off the 506 because apparently it has dpad on bottom THO.

>>9790967
That's why I'm saying make it $200, plenty of margin left after you factor in paying for an additional non touch screen and a slightly more complicated logic board to have two display outs. All other costs are the same apart from a few cents more plastic for a larger housing.
Anbernic etc. release designs in new housings all the time, they're clearly able to gear up for new sku's without blowing the price out easily enough, the 353p was a brand new shape with a touch screen and a more powerful SOC for what, $135? and they can't be paying more than $10 per panel for their non touch stuff, it's going to happen eventually.

we need to make a spread showing FPS with native resolution on games

i can't get modded sonic heroes to work on my deck >:(

>>9791169
yeah I just said fuck it and played it vanilla. I'm sure there's a way to get it working without outright installing windows but I couldn't be assed.

>>9791173
I followed the guide on that big sonic doc, but the game wouldn't launch :DDDD

>>9791169
Still can't believe Sonic Heroes doesn't have a proper modern PC port and Sega is still making us use the jank one from 2004.

>>9791184
yeah well adventure's pc port is worse

>>9791193
at least the DC mod is amazing and is just drag and drop so it works effortlessly on Deck.

>>9791002
and then the rp4+ in fall

>>9790663

>>9791196
yeah idk what really goes into modding, but i hate that so much shit uses reloaded 2

A Vita, N3DS XL and a steam deck are all you need. Fuck those chink handhelds

>>9791002
I'm really anxious about the RP4 doing something retarded with its buttons again.
>>9791193
DC port is more modern so it got more mod support, including ones that fix most of the problems. If Heroes got a modern port, even if it was shit, at least it'd be more easily moddable and more people would hop on board to make it better.

>shadow dropping a 3566 handheld in 2023
Why is Powkiddy always a chipset behind everyone else?

>>9791257
>my bugman came from an island so their devices are better

>>9791271
They were like a year ahead of everyone else with the T618 tbf. They were also ahead of Anbernic's 353 offerings with the A20 and ahead of their usage of the 3326 with the rk2020 iirc. It also sounds like the upcoming Max is going to have something really good, maybe the first handheld with a rk3588. but yeah I don't get the x55 in particular with stick on top. maybe they expect to be used for streaming? where is that pic from anyways? is there any more deets/images/video or just that image?

>>9791279
He has a point. Too much handhelds can consume you.

>>9791257
Honestly, I wish south koreans would dip into the handheld market. They have nothing better to do

>>9790961
Anbernic tried making a hardware clone, but couldn't get proper funding. https://obscurehandhelds.com/2015/07/the-revo-k2ds/

This concept would be pretty damn cool.

If you think that, by all means, be my fucking guest, dr. ignoramus. True, you don't need 3 handhelds, nobody does. However, its not about literal needs anyway. Its more of a wanting thing.

Just buy one of those telescoping controllers or a dualshock or something

Yeah the telescoping thing probably won't be amazing but if you do your research you should get something decent enough that will be better than trying to tack buttons directly to a touchscreen

>>9791819
The rumor has been around for at least a month or so. Funnily enough it looks like Powkiddy decided to confirm it with a random jewtube comment yesterday.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=BitTlLCIC5A

rp3+ mogs the 405m on absolutely everything except the sticks it looks like, metal case is nice but I have never had a plastic handheld break in my life, are people putting them in vice grips?

>>9792321
Metal is a downgrade to me because of weight and cost, and if my memory of the gb micro in 2004/5 is anything to go by, I don't like the feel either. There's also the fact you can't get transparent colors on metal, and the texture on the transparent RP3+s and Odins in particular are super nice. I do prefer the slightly rounded sides and 4:3 aspect ratio on the 405m as well as the slightly smaller width that affords, but it seems like the quality of the screen itself is a little underwhelming. Something a little brighter, a little more saturated, and 1280x960 would've been kino.

The one thing above all else I can't forgive tho is dpad in the wrong location. For me? It will be the KTR1.

>>9792369
forgot my fr*cken pic

>>9792321
Metal is better if you appreciate these things as a weird kind of collectable, rather than a thing to play games on. It feels nicer in the hand for quick 5 minute messing about sessions where the extra weight isn't noticeable in a bad way, like it would be when the thing is spending most of the day in your coat pocket or in your hands for a long play session

>>9792403

>>9784619

>>9792176

Paid more for importing these things than for the RG35XX :-)

>>9792549
>>9792542
But why.
They look like shit and the classic Gameboy look is better though.

>>9792679
classic gayboy look is disgusting.

>>9792679
I think they look cool, kind of fresh and a bit unique even.

Didn't expect them to cost that much either, used a service in Japan to do everything for me. But i don't mind, uznlike you frog people, i have a job that pays good money.

>>9792704
>I think they look cool, kind of fresh and a bit unique even.
They do, don't listen to that faggot. Should've got the white transparent case to go with them however.

>>9792247
Ah great, thanks god. I actually prefer handhelds with big screens. Let’s hope they don’t fuck the dpad.

>>9792754
I'm really worried they're going to move it below the left analog but we'll see.

>>9784440
Thoughts of the rog ally? I think chinese handhelds are thuroughly btfo, and Im guessibg this is the reason why steam ssaid they werent going to make a new sku soon, asus probably and this in the works for a while aswell.

>>9792369
>>9792371
I don't understand why they released this in a metal shell first. Metal cases only seem worth it for those weird collector enthusiasts. Part of the reason I sold my RG350M was because I hated the metal shell.

>>9792880
>asus probably and this in the works for a while aswell
Man Im tired, asus was probably working on this for a while. If it wasnt for the chip shortage this might have been out earlier.

>>9792887
better profit margins i guess since they know mutts will pay out the nose for metal. based chinks apparently don't like metal either.

>>9792880
That dpad looks fucking awful and I'll be surprised if it has more than an hour of battery life

>>9792887
Why did you hate the metal shell?

>>9792880
I hate ROG everything, always overpriced, always burdened with gimmicky crap, always looks terrible
This thing is either going to buck their pricing trend by coming in sub $200 or it's going to get slaughtered by the steam deck and RP4

That DPAD looks like something from the 5000 in 1 brick game I had when I was 7 and the sticks both look awful

>>9792880
I wish they didn't announce it like it was an April Fools joke. That aside, the specs are impressive and the eGPU support is somewhat compelling but I'm really meh on the build. It could be like a Steam Deck 2 before the actual Steam Deck 2 comes out minus the price. The thing that will kill people's interest is the price, I bet this thing is more of a competitor to Aya/GPD/OneX rather than the Steam Deck and having warranty support from Asus is going to blow the chink manufacturers out of the water. Their best bet is getting acquired now by PC OEMs who want in on UMPCs.

>>9792908
Made the device unnecessarily heavier than it needed to be. Felt like I was carrying a brick in my pocket. Also it feels too...industrial? It's a weird thing to describe but plastic handhelds just feel more like real handhelds to me.

>>9792907
It kinda looks like the sexbox controller dpad which was actually shockingly good, so I'll reserve judgement in case they actually pulled something like that off. Bucking the kino 16:10 trend for 16:9 is lame as fuck though, and yeah I'm expecting the battery life to be atrocious. Same with the size, weight, and price.

I get that the power is supposed to be the stronkest yet or something, but this is literally the exact opposite approach of what I want. The Deck is already more than enough power for me, what I want now is something small, light, weak, and cheap with d-pad on top. Something to play my Steam shmups, bmups, platformers, puzzle games, vns, etc.

>>9792919
Didn't realise it was a handheld pc until I looked into, think its DOA or at least extremely niche and not very successful.

It's going to be mad expensive, it has half the inputs of the SD, doesn't have the ready user base that Steam had to exploit and limited opportunities to subsidize the cost via software sales

Can any of these 3rd party handhelds play switch games? I hate nintendo but they've got some good RPGs from square.

>>9792901
They use metal phones, so maybe anbernic's more of a meme in chinaland. That does make sense, before they rebranded as anbernic, they were pretty much a worse version of powkiddy with even worse build quality.

>>9792989
Any running android, but I think only the odin and that awful looking gpd can do switch decently.

>>9792957
We're talking about the 4th largest PC OEM, we're talking about a company that ships millions of PC devices a year. They have experience doing volume and hardware design to make costs low with a userbase for its gaming brand even if it has a reputation for markup and stuff is still going to have a base of people who would support it vs other people who have tried in the space. The only real issue is how Asus prices things vs Chinese handhelds rather than the Steam Deck. The closer they get, the better, obviously but it's not quite clear cut if they are in for the marketshare or profit aspect which will determine said pricing.

>>9793054
I like metal on a phone but not on a handheld so maybe they're the same.

>>9792880
if it can match the 512GB deck in price, then it's gonna be very interesting

>>9792989
Steam Deck is a better switch than the switch

Other than that I think the best solution right now if we aren't talking an X86 computer is snapdragon Gen1+ phones

So I recently got an everdrive for my gameboy color but it's giving me sound problems. When I use it, the speaker is too quiet or doesn't work and it has static noise when using headphones. Sound is still great when using real gbc carts but if I use the everdrive I have to leave it off for a while to get sound again.

What should I do?

>>9792880
it's ugly

>>9793195
RMA it and just buy carts or emulate
Or RMA and roll the dice again

>>9792880
I refuse to buy Asus products. "Republic of Gamers" is the most embarrassing name for anything, ever.

Tell me when the steam deck runs cod warzone,fifa23 and pubg then I'll agree with you.

>>9793054
>Any running android, but I think only the odin and
Nah gotta at least have an 888 chip. And even then skyline is so unoptimized at the moment you really shouldnt try.

>>9793135
No, that would be the LG v60 with the Snapdragon 865 or older. It's super cheap to get and refurbish since LG exited the phone market but still are better than risking your chances on a chink phone brand which may have similar prices.

>>9793338
I have a samsung s20 fe, yea the 865 can't do switch emulation well. Buy something a bit more expensive.

>>9793331
Trackpads aren't a meme, I use the two on the deck all the time, far superior to the thumb sticks for anything that would ordinarily require a mouse, especially when combined with Gyro

>PUBG
What fucking year is it? The other 2, fair enough, but if you want to run them so badly you can just install Windows on the deck, which Valve fully supports and provides custom drivers for.

>>9793341
If you want that, the price difference between the S8G1(+) and newest top line S8G2 is minimal and you should just get the latest and greatest. I was talking more about the cost performance perspective of the entire market. I don't see anything more performant vis-a-vis a S888 or better SOC in phones coming down in price anytime soon like the LG phones at roughly $100 or so.

>>9793350
>but if you want to run them so badly you can just install Windows on the deck,
Tried running it on an extermall ssd as I have the 64gb version, it is unreliable to say the least the steam deck freezes on windows to go if you take it off the charger. Gave up on it fully.

>>9793350
>Trackpads aren't a meme, I use the two on the deck all the time, far superior to the thumb sticks for anything that would ordinarily
Never really used it on any game.

>>9793302
kek, what mental site is that from?

>>9793368
https://tieba.baidu.com/f?kw=%E5%BC%80%E6%BA%90%E6%8E%8C%E6%9C%BA&ie=utf-8

it's a part of baidu that's for discussing these handhelds.

>>9793362
I use them in FPS's for aiming w/gyro mapped to turn on when the right pad or stick are touched, pad + gyro feels almost mouse precise to me without the need to be at a desk mouse imposes, right one is used for utility stuff like weapon wheels/hotkeys/weird game specific inputs

I played through Ion Fury and Dusk using the pads and had a great time.

>>9793359
SD card, I've not tried it on an external drive but Windows to go has always been janky shit even on a full desktop, not surprised it doesn't work well on Deck.

>tfw gifted your deck to somebody in moment of lapsed judgement and now have to wait for the 64GB version to come back in stock to buy another one

We have a number of memes to talk about Chinese netizens and emerchants, do the Chinese have any talking about us? (i.e. weird western handheld and chinkshit enthusiasts) They must do, there are at least twice as many of them as there are anglophone internet users.

>>9793331
>>>/v/

>>9793293
3DS has native backwards compatibility for two previous systems, PSP only has one. Vita is a better competitor to 3DS in that regard, since it doubles as a better PSP

>>9793368
It's a chink forum, so of course it's full of schizos.

>>9793394
Only for popular stuff. As a follower of tech news, they know all the big websites and tech Youtubers and such where they will machine translate everything they can for extra information for the most part they don't have. Chinese netizens doesn't really have that many niches considering how they get spied on everywhere online for the most part and it takes a while to get niches established into something more mainstream. But there was also no reason to discuss "western" handhelds or tastes as most of the machines come from China first primarily or as a market. Some of the more awful stuff is ridiculed and there is talk about how foreigners would eat up shit. But really, the Steam Deck is the only thing that wasn't Chinese first and foremost and although it did get flak for its shortcomings in reviews but Gabe is still in worship phase over in China for Steam and considering what they offer over Tencent.

>>9792924
Man, i do not notice it in my pocket at all. I put it ina cute lil silk bag even and I just dont notice it. That could be because I started with a 351m and its admittedly a chunky boy. 353m dont get much lightier than that and also maintaining a not Fischer price feel

>>9793912
an RG351p is 189g and doesn't feel fisher price at all. the RP3+ weighs roughly the same amount as the RG353m despite being a much larger device, and again doesn't feel fisher price at all.

>Anbernic making bank with the 35xx
>Miyoo making bank with the mini suquel
Meanwhile powkiddy still hasn't made a shitty ultra cheaper option because they always do and people are stating to realize the v90 is complete shit.

>>9793971
Powkiddy will never have a hit handheld because they're too stupid and cheap. They'll just keep crapping out cheap handhelds that rattle a ton and have poor quality buttons for a quick buck.

stop bullying powkiddy, the rk2023 is kino...

>>9793293
PSP is totally obsolete now that both the vita and steam deck exist

Horizontal handhelds are cringe. Just get a Switch Lite and modchip it.

If you're going to spend $55, you may as well buy the RG35XX that has better hardware.

Install GarlicOS

Open the back to know if you have a larger battery (2100mAh is Rev1, 2600mAh is Rev2), if you have the small one, consider ordering a larger one if you think the run time isn't good enough. BTW, doesn't matter what is printed on the label on the back, it always says 2100mAh there.

>gaming on a handheld mostly sucks and I much prefer playing on my computer or couch with better controls and a bigger screen.
Fellow emubox master race reporting in, but seriously I feel the same way to a degree. The only two handhelds I own at the moment are the RG351V and the Retroid Pocket 3+ and I don't really care to go more powerful than that. Dreamcast and PSP are the most powerful systems I care to emulate on handhelds because anything later than those feels better to play on TVs.

>>9795647
Is the 405M's 4" enough?

>>9795856
Yeah. Too bad about that dpad placement and no plastic.

How's Silent Hill on the RG35XX?
Kind of want to play it.

Guys I need recommendation
Mostly interested in playing GBA and below games. Would prefer clamshell design but if everything else is good willing to forgo it.
Would buy GBA SP with IPS but they are 200$+ from what I've seen

Is the stock 64GB MicroSD that comes with the RG35XX enoughemory or should I look at getting another MicroSD

>>9796402
Obviously it depends on how many games and from which systems you need (want) to have at once.

Any good solution to that annoying hiss so many old handhelds have when using headphones?

>>9796405
I guess I'll buy a 128GB MicroSD then as the device has 2 MicroSD slots. Can keep one for OS and one for games I guess.

>>9796409
Get better headphones

How was your day

>>9797657
Geez!

Look at my day:
>>9794537
>>9794540

It was pretty good actually.

>>9794540
Would these knobs work on a Miyoo Mini?

>>9797123
I'm sure there's a way

>>9797864
I wouldn't be surprised, but there is no way to know for sure.
If you are in Germany, i can lend you my old ones for testing. Then you know.

>>9794537
Jesus Christ, you troons are really everywhere, aren't you? Nothing is safe from you.

>>9797657
Most likely a cable is touching one of the screws used to put it all back toguether
T. Has happened to me like 2 times with 2 different shithelds

whats the easiest excuse to not return a rg35xx to amazon but still keep it and get a refund? say the battery exploded or something?

>>9798021
>Being so full of bitterness and angst that anything with flashy combinations of colors makes you think about GID.

>>9798451
>bitterness and angst
It's just a joke anon. I think the buttons looks sick but I still thought it was funny.

>>9798021
Your pussy looks squished.

>>9798431
Give it back, Tyrone.

>>9798543
I took it as joke as well, i guess we have been here for some time.

>>9798903
>Family pocket
Ips or tft? Cfw or stock? And does cfw really have worse peformance for snes than stock? How's the dpad?

>>9798934
It was stock, i think newer revisions had an internal sdcard, mine however did not.
TFT, and it was bad.
Do you have one as well?
Bought for 11€, sold for 15€ because i'm a greedy fuck!

I have a new 3Ds XL and PS Vita Slim. Any Chinese console to complement?

I like the V90 for its price and design, but I'm not sure if it's a good choice. I have a budget of $90

>>9798184
Nah, it does it even while disassembled.
It powers on normally once, but after I turn it off it won't power on again. Even if I plug in the charger at this point there's no LEDs or anything. Same with the original SD card.
Fortunately I'm surrounded by electrical engineers so I'm sure one of them can figure it out.

>>9798992
>I'm surrounded by electrical engineers
What did you do, say out loud that "pi = 3 isn't close enough"?

>>9798981
I also bought a V90 for those reasons. It sucks, aim higher.

>>9798996
Seems to run in the family
I'm actually the black sheep of the family by going into software development instead

>>9799014
Suggestions? I want to play GBA and SNES but I have relatively big hands.

>No need to D-Pad mod my RG35XX because it works fine even on Fire red.

Nothing personal.

>>9799146
>even
shitkemon doesn't even allow you to move diagonally THO

Man this thing is cool as hell but trying to play anything that needs all 4 shoulder buttons for more than a minute is making me wish I'd bit the bullet and bought a steam deck when they were on sale

>>9798981
Don't bother with the v90 I have one and it's shit, too weak even for GBA and the screen looks terrible.

It corrupts SD cards like crazy as well

>>9799468
Print a grip! Do you have a 3D printer?
https://www.printables.com/de/search/all?q=RG35XX
Congrats for going for the grey one. It looks better than the clear ones. You are ok, kid.

>>9799520
It's not the comfort of the device its trying to use r1 and r2 etc. at the same time well enough to play stuff

>>9798968
Don't have one, but the ips editions are super cheap for some reason. Whatever firmware they use seems to be a good one because snes runs fine on stock, but awful with cfw. I've also thought of getting pic related which seem to have came out of nowhere, but there's problems.

Hate this.
Check out the LDK i had, it was incredibly small and i really didn't enjoy it.

>>9799587
>no game gear, neogeo pocket, or pce simulator
DROPPED
>>9799628
looks kinda aesthetic for a vertical, not that I would want to play on something that small.

>>9799645

>>9799692
I think the display was 2.8", it looked great but that's terribly small.

>>9799587
I'm tempted to get this just because it's so cheap (£16) but you just know you're going to get chinked somehow. Did you know it has an IPS HD screen and an IPS HD screen. IPS HD screen!

>>9799468

Anon, did you tried doing this?

I see a lot of RG35XXs here, do you have screen tearing on your units? Mine is already shipped to me, but the only mention of screen tearing was at the end of the recent My Life in Gaming video. The guy there claims that he saw tearing even with Garlic OS. I think I'll probably stick to MinUI, but can you confirm it? I thought playing anything below PS1 would be no issue for this hardware.
While I'm at it, can you disable threaded video for older consoles? If I'm remembering right, threaded video in RetroArch adds a lot of input lag, I'll mostly play JRPGs, but disabling that feature for something like NES platformers would be nice.

>>9799587
Why does it have an analog stick?

>>9799838
My only issues are the d-pad and its lowest brightness still being too bright. It's kind of bad. I don't plan on opening it up to put electrical tape between the switches until I get a new d-pad to put in as well.

>>9799838
I have just received mine and haven't installed garlic OS, if you have a specific game you wanted tested let me know and I can test it for you

I haven't noticed any screen tearing in the games I've played so far, haven't seen any options for video threading either though I think the full RA options are exposed in garlic OS

The options in the stock image are quite limited

>>9799838
>>9799838
My version is from the first batch, I have been playing DKC for the past week and didn't see any screen tearing. Threaded Video is disabled by default on GarlicOS and you can enable if you want.
I'm seeing a lot of people complaining about the recent updates of GarlicOS. Black Seraph is trying to fix the OS to run in the recent revision, but a lot of people are having issues with some emulators.
The thing is that those people complaining are the ones who are daily updating the CFW instead of using the stable version 1.3.4 of GarlicOS which is in the page to download.
So my recommendation is if you get one from the first batch just download the version 1.3.4 of GarlicOS and you are good, but if you get the new revision and that doesn't work with GarlicOS 1.3.4 you could try the newest version and if you find any problems that annoys with the newest version you just ignore GarlicOS for the time being and install MinUI.

>>9799935
With all the complaining, i wonder when these people actually play a game.

>>9799860
>lowest brightness still being too bright
Do you know if it's somehow different on Garlic/MinUI, or is it a display limitation?
>>9799867
>if you have a specific game you wanted tested let me know and I can test it for you
I think the hardest to emulate game I want to play through is Xenogears on PS1, not sure if performance differs between OSes though, but if it can run it I would be more than happy.
>>9799935
>ignore GarlicOS for the time being and install MinUI
I wanted to install MinUI on it right away, actually. I saw the settings it provides and it had almost everything I wanted, so I'll probably go with it. I still have to play on it myself to decide which OS I like better of course.

>>9799947
When the games run properly, presumably.

>>9799860
>brightness still being too bright

Tiny Best Set got a update and the uploader added GarlicOS support. It's now called Tiny Best Set Go on archive /details/tiny-best-set-go
The image preview shows the box art + a ingame image, but someone also made a image preview only for the box art for the GarlicOS
drive google com/file/d/1uL8B9JK4tGwlkpE2ci4U4Z73l6kQlVQI/view
There's also this one for GarlicOS if you anons have the old version of the set

>>9799847
Some arcade games make use of analog controls.

>>9799587
Back render. This apparently comes with a wireless controller and av out cable for multiplayer. Some schmuck is getting this in a few days, so I'll wait to see if he bought a paper weight.

>>9799628
Why not the horizontal one?

>>9799794
The screen will be tft for sure.

>>9800561
Why even have the speakers?

>>9800561
>back speakers
lmaoooooo

>>9800561
That stick looks so out of place.

>>9799794
>I'm tempted to buy white cider instead of proper beer because its so cheap

Just spend the £50-80 for a proper one and actually enjoy using the thing, its a toy, if you're an adult buying yourself toys you better be buying nice ones

are there any vertical handhelds superior to the 351v?

This tracking updates so fucking slow man.
This entry wasn't there yesterday.
The 6th.
It's now 7th.
So it landed in Japan on 5th at 6pm for customs clearance but never updated till like this morning. Wtf.
Give me my RG35XX already.

>>9799950
Playing through the opening Xenogears seems to run fine, or rather, the hardware is powerful enough to run it

The PSX emulation on the stock firmware is awful and crashed twice, but it was full speed and correct when it was working at all. CFW should have no problems

>>9800760
Mine did the exact same thing coming to Ireland, events being logged a day after they happened and infrequent updates with unclear messages including some ones from theocal delivery service that I've never seen beford, device arrived today right on schedule though

>>9800626
I bought it. I'm going to treat it as a functionality disposable thing I can leave in the car.
I have a KTR1 on order to upgrade my RP2+, so thank you for your concern, but I have some nice toys.
And I have a Game Boy, Game Gear, Game Boy Color, DS Lite, New 3DS XL, Vita, Switch Lite and Steam Deck.

>>9800778
Is the steam deck worth it? I'm tempted to just switch my brain off and buy one because I think it's fucking cool but its a lot of money.

I have a good computer already but I don't like sitting at a desk to play games anymore, especially after a full day working from home sitting at the same chair for leisure activities just feels depressing

More importantly <s>Do you have a display or some cute way of storing these things or are they all just in a drawer or something?</s>

>>9800791
I've forgot how to do spoilers ffs

>>9800791
My brother has one, he had said it's good for a lot of stuff but with some of the more processor and graphic heavy games it has issues.

Any linux handheld's?

>>9800839
like most of them?

>>9800791
It's very comfy to play on. The only downsides are the battery life, heat/noise, and the size. But for the money it's amazing, especially if you're not interested in playing the latest games. It's now my go to device for Xbox 360 era games and before, unless they are particularly mouse driven (I'm not a fan of the trackpads, but that's just me).

>>9792880
>120hz screen
>Xbox Series style dpad
Already the GOAT and it hasn't been released yet.
Only thing left to know if the screen supports true VRR and I will pre-order without question.

>>9792880
It'll be like 800-900 bucks.
Fuck that, I'd rather get a Steam Deck.

>>9800846
How do you Play X360 on Steam deck? I'd be interested purely for Lost Odyssey

Looking to get a chineseheld after trying and refunding the RG350M. I liked the size but didn't like the shape or metal, or the PWM flickering screen. Thinking about the Miyoo Mini Plus currently. Do they also have PWM flicker? Is it possible on the Linux/OpenDingux handhelds to use Moonlight for PC streaming in a pinch (I assume it's a given for the android ones as long as they have a wifi chip)? How bad is Start + Select being on the top in regards to gameplay (re: Retroid Pocket 3+)?

>>9792880
I wish more of these x86 portables straight up copied the Neptune layout of the Deck - if I were to pay $800-900 for this, I want the fucking pressure sensitive trackpads goddammit

>>9800952
I'm not playing Xbox 360 games. I'm playing PC games that are of that age, hence the word "era".

>>9801086
Just get the RG35XX

>>9800791
Mostly just in a drawer or box somewhere. My "collection" is 95% just keeping stuff I got when it was current, I'm not building a backdrop for a YouTube channel.

>>9799794
There's a good chance this will have worst pperformance than the family pocket. For cheap chinkhelds under 40, the family pocket, rg300, pap kiii and rs-97 are your best bet. I remember almost falling for the v90 meme but I noticed it's weaker than three of the devices I listed and it can't even play gb-fucking-a games at a good speed even with cfw. You can also get the 35xx since thats cheaper than an rg300 which doesnt make fucking sense.

>>9784440
found a listing for the RG353P on Amazon for $130 and Prime Shipping which is a pretty damn good deal considering that's about the price Anbernic lists it on their site and most other Amazon listings for the device have it at $150

not the most powerful of devices but for that price I'd say that will serve nicely as an in between for my Miyoo Mini and my Steam Deck

>>9801290
Also, when buying an rg300 for cheap, make sure it's the one with the old processor. Some later units accidentally have a lower end version of the base processor that makes performance v90 levels.

>>9801432
But the later models are the ones with the better quality screens, aren't they?

>>9800561
I hope it sells a lot, if anything, to signal anbernic that it is about time to upgrade its 353p.

>>9800124
And here is the archive link:

>>9800381
What can this $20 device run that needs analog controls?

>>9800561
>Why not the horizontal one?
I like verticals. Got the RG35XX (the one with the apparently gay glitter buttons) now, am more happy. I look however for a vertical with even larger screen, like 4.5 or 5".

>>9800569
Why even have the speakers?
I hear you need speakers for sound output.

>>9800626
>Just spend the £50-80 for a proper one and actually enjoy using the thing, its a toy, if you're an adult buying yourself toys you better be buying nice ones
Agreed, that is what i learned. My devices so far:
>>9798903
>>9799692
>>9794540

>>9800754
353V and 353VS?

>>9800778
It sure is cool to have many different devices, but i always feel sad if one isn't used and so i sell my old stuff for someone else to enjoy or ignore.

>>9800923
>120hz screen
Like my mobile phone?
>true VRR
What is that?

>>9801086
>How bad is Start + Select being on the top in regards to gameplay (re: Retroid Pocket 3+)?
Imagine you have a nice stereo. The volume knob is usually on the right side of the device. Now imagine it would be on the left. That is the how bad it is to move start+select from here to there.
It's a nothingburger.

>>9801290
>good chance this will have worst pperformance than the family pocket
Hard to say really if you have nothing but a render. It might as well be better than the Family Pocket.
I say go for it, it would cost me 23€, a bit much for basically a mystery device, but for $16 i would go for it. If you don't like it, throw it for the same price on Ebay, someone will buy it.

>>9801410
Dude, get it.
Best on Amazon Germany is 187.99€ (about 205USD) right now.

>>9801496
It will sell a lot, but they will have to make compromises to get to $16, a TFT, smaller than 3", mushy buttons, tiny battery, the analog stick without function, creaky case, stinky rubbers under the buttons, fucky software, bad speakers.

Normie here, is this pretty much the ideal setup?

>>9801575
way too convoluted, just connet the controller and put the phone on your lap or against something

>>9800124

>>9801575
Hard to hold after a few minutes because of the leverage of the phone.

>>9801575
If you have the controller resting in your lap its not to bad but its cheaper and less bulky to just get one of those little kickstands for your phone and put it on a table or something

>>9801671
If only there was a machine to print small plastic parts, one could just print both and test which is better.
It's sad really.
>>>/diy/2590451

>>9801456
I think so. it seems they mixed up the weaker processsors in their supply. Other devices they've made with the stronger processor dont have this problem. (Rs97, pap kiii)

>>9801086
>How bad is Start + Select being on the top in regards to gameplay (re: Retroid Pocket 3+)?
Start is actually comfy and I've grown to prefer that placement over traditional locations, but Select is a pain in the ass to hit.

KTR warriors, our response??

>>9801891
Preview units have gone out and people are getting tracking information.
As they might say there, the carpenter's wooden asshole has begun to shit.

Thinking of dropping the 200 plus bucks on a metal KTR1 my only concern is the battery is going to be shot in a few years. Will I be able to find replacement batteries for it?

>>9802009
in a few years you will have moved onto a new chinkheld anyways :^)

>>9802014
Im coming from a hacked vita, I don't move on till the hardware is truly dead.

>>9802016
chinkhelds are a whole different ballgame anon.

t. also moved on from a hacked vita that I had as my main platform for the entirety of the 8th gen to a rp2+ last august, have spiraled into buying multiple since

>>9802023
That bums me out, might dip in on something cheaper to see if I even like the concept. I have a new in box sealed japanese OLED vita I may crack up and setup but I really wanna see what else is out there

If I wanna spend about 100 bucks and just wanna emulate 16bit with maybe a few 32bit jRPGs what should I be looking at?

>>9802058
RG35xx if you like the Gameboy form factor, 351v if you want a larger devhce that's more comfortable to hold.

If you want something horizontal you've got the RP2+ which is fucking ugly as shit, or the RP3/3+ Which are great but more than your budget.

I'd just get the 35xx, it's cheap and good, no analog sticks though
