here's the r*ddit post https://www.reddit.com/r/RG35XX/comments/12hjbuu/rg35xx_tactile_edition_mod/

anbernig's famous Build Quality™ everyone.

>chinks now DEMANDING wooden ass kill himself if he doesn't ship by the end of this month after finding out the preview unit shells are from a 3D printer rather than a factory mold
ktr warriors...

>>9809853
Nah, they rattle

>>9809929
yes russ we're very upset about it.

>>9809928
I watched the video they're talking about and the shell was quite obviously not 3D printed. They are actually insane.

>>9809969
I guess I don't see the issue even if it was. It looks like something I'd be happy to have as a final product personally, and we already know he's still working on the molds with all the different colors and whatnot.
>the video
wot video btw??

OOF not a good look...

>>9810064
Back then we used to post gore to show normalfags the way to the exit.

>>9809975
It was a review on BiliBili by someone who got a preview unit. Weirdly, it's not there now. Maybe it got posted too early. Since I don't speak Chinese I can't really say more than that, other than the device having about the performance you'd expect.

>>9809676
I love this Gameboy looking motherfucker so much

>>9809873
>>9809854
why? the sound is a million times more annoying than any feedback from pressing could

>>9810190
Sounds like that don't annoy me and sometimes I even like it.

>>9810202
fair enough

>>9810182
Earbuds are super nice, much more comfy than IEMs or full headphones and they're cheap, you should try them

ktr warriors... we didn't get tricked by a sticker... right...??

>>9810202
Same. It's satisfying in the way an old clickity-clack keyboard is.

>So light, thin and small I always carry it
The build quality is great too. I'm thankful for this little thing.

>>9810312
much cooler than the gayboy shitcro.

About the same, maybe slightly worse.
You can run 32 bits consoles but you shouldn't bother with 3D games.

jelos guy and a bong eceleb think they'll be getting their ktr1 preview units tomorrow. also nil more or less confirmed cfw is happening i think

I finished the Rugrats Go Wild for GBA that some eBay seller sent to me along with whatever I had actually bought. It wasn't as bad as it could have been but it also wasn't as good as it could have been. Plot progression kinda falls apart at the end, and the final challenge is anticlimactic. Controls needed polishing. But I didn't hate it.

>>9809891
What did you do?

>>9810846
Apparently it might be because anbernic didn't sand the display frame before applying the glue (???). That and supposedly the the frame gets pretty got in spots which might've further weakened the glue. Some chinks have claimed their 405ms have straight up shut down due to overheating, but there's no hard evidence of that happening atm.

>>9809891
Anbernig got that reputation for "build quality" back when this scene was smaller and everyone was making Famiclone tier handhelds. So Anbernic looked pretty good compared to everyone else. Now that a lot of other companies have stepped up their game and we get and expect actual quality from these things, Anbernig is still just trucking along barely improving anything on their candybars and they're finally being exposed for it.

>>9809509
working on getting the roms set up for my RG353P and man I had forgotten how much of a pain in the ass it is to do this for CD based systems since you can't just shove a ZIP file in like with cartridge based systems, you have to unzip them for their BIN & CUE or CHD files or whatever, that and the overall larger file sizes for them means it takes forever to get them transferred around even for systems with relatively small libraries like say the PCE-CD(which is the one I'm doing at the moment), it's going to be downright excruciating when I get around to PS1...

>>9809509

I wish more handhelds were made with built-in ergonomic grips.

>>9811490
>ergonomic
not retro

>>9811494
I know hand cramps and square as fuck controllers with pointy corners are a signature of retro devices, but I'm getting old anon. My hands need more comfort.

Thinking about getting a miyoo mini plus, can it handle PS1 games without stutter?

What would be the cheapest way to get Die Hard Arcade, and possibly Dynamite Cop working well?

>>9811482
ah god that makes me really uncomfortable to look at

>>9811615
Yes, but you want the RG35XX.

>>9811490
It’s either portable or ergonomic, choose one.

Well well well. Nil has admitted on Discord that the shells going out to reviewers are in fact painted, and not injection moulded but CNCd. As always, he promises to personally go the factory and oversee production of the proper shells in his crown and cape.

It seems chinks can drop any kind of crap onto western consumers and we will gobble it up.
I am excited for this product and i am excited for the next product as well.

sunspotbros... did we just get btfo...?

>>9812578
You need to come up with a new routine because your posts are getting stale.

Which is the official Anbernic discord? Or rather one with competent answers? Hate to bother you guys so much (i love you /hht/) and reddit is fucking retarded holy shit hang all redditors
>>9809854
which overlay?

I'm trying to run Mario 64 on my RP2+ the game starts fine but then it has (what I assume are) missing textures, like I can see the Peach letter but not the Peach model, or the Mario face doesn't show up in the beginning only the background and sound effects, already tried all common profiles on M64Plus, could it be a ROM issue? Or something retarded I'm doing?

>>9813561
Since it works on my machine™ I'm going to say it's a rom issue.

I decided on getting an Odin Lite. Just the 64GB version for now, but I might get a microsd in case I need it.
I wonder how many weeks I'll have to wait until it arrives, probably 3 or 4...

>>9809509
Would be tubular if you put "mobile" in the OP next time, because my dumb ass keeps looking for the wrong word to find this general.

>>9811267
>a powerbank that doubles as a handheld
dang
It looks wonky as fuck though, but maybe that's just because they put it on a soft underground to demonstrate. Let's me question their general competence though.

>>9811962
Ergonomic.
There are detachable grips if you're really a person that takes their handheld outside a lot and don't want to do that with a nice grip.

Retroid Pocket 4 tease.

>>9814141
nah it's for the vertislop they already filed patent images for unfortunately. RP4 probably won't be too far behind though.

Imagine being the open source maintainer cuck who did it for free while knock off handheld manufacturers make gold out of your work,

>>9813670
Indeed it was a ROM issue, I tough I had fucked up my M64 install somehow, ty

Is it worth it going from a RP2+ to a RP3+ if I mostly play up to the PSX mainly jrpgs? or just wait to see if they do something retarded for the RP4?

>>9814258
looks awful

rk2023 is so comfy bros...

Got a hacked 3ds, I'd like to wipe it and start from scratch. Any guides for this specific task?

The Analogue Pocket ends the chinkheld wars, and the Anbernic RG351mp in mint green does survival horror like pure sex. Both are such satisfying choices.

But the greatest one of all, has to be the RG258v silver with a good case. Best of its class bar none, and you won't be worrying about scratching it or getting held up for it. Runs PSX like she's Nikole Nash, if you know what I mean. My favorite toy that isn't a Tenga. Note well the speakers are mono only.

What does it for you frens?

>>9810003
Oh shit... Now the Series S makes more sense (I liked the idea anyways). This helps MS make a handheld.

Too bad Valve fucked them with the Steam Deck.

Now any MS handheld will be Vita equivalent tier.

>>9814824
They came off as too sensitive to you? It was kinda hard to tell from sonic's video. I think the ace buttons need more work.

>>9814903
I know nothing about the thing, I'm just hoping it doesn't have fucked up diagonals.

>keep thinking about getting the 405m
>but everything about it screams "beta test device for another Anbernig later in the year that will be much better"

>>9814258
That actually looks pretty nifty. Still waiting for mine to be dispatched. It will auto refund in two days. Do I care? Honestly don't know. What is the point of this post? Also don't know.

>>9815064
Rinse and repeat.

What can I buy with 90 bucks ? I want emulate snes, gba and maybe psx?

Kinda torn between the Retroid Pocket 3+ and the Anbernic RG505. The RP3+ looks so much easier to play on but the 505 has a Vita screen and i'm coming from a hacked Vita and it's OLED has spoiled me. I'm mostly playing 4:3 16bit and a few PS1 games but some PSP might be nice. Dunno what to go with

I still like my RG353P a ton, the performance and ergonomics are just right for what I want to play on it.
I got UnofficialOS installed on it as an upgrade from a previous JELOS installation, but the boot time is really fucking slow now, and it hasn't fixed the sleep mode bug where the device can sometimes fail to wake from sleep.

I'm wondering if my unit or my firmware SD card is defective or something, or if it's just a firmware issue that still hasn't been fixed.

Is there anything like the GBA SP?
I'm still have mine but the speakers are busted and I wanna play snes romhacks on the go.

>>9815575
Either you are the same anon who complains about these issues or yes, they haven’t and will never be fixed.

>>9815693
Powkiddy v90 if you are on a budget budget, though SNES is hit and miss. New retroid pocket if you are willing to shell out a bit more.

>>9815396
35xx
or get an rp2+ on amazon

RP3+ for a few years for me as long as the battery holds, don’t think these are gonna make that “next leap” power wise for a while it’s just gonna be “oh it can do 5-10% more of the ps2 library”

I already don’t have a lot of time to play games I spend more time tinker trannying, organizing roms, scraping pictures, seeking out obscure translations, etc than playing anyways. I’ve got probably 500 games to play before I ever get to GC or PS2 anyways. I do wish those faggots would release a sleep mode trick toggle or something why isn’t that a built in feature.

>>9815064
There's obviously no way they sourced that 4" screen just to use it in one device. The bossman also said they have another device for people who prefer d-pad up top coming.

>>9815396
RK2023 is excellent and you can get it for $70 shipping included.

>>9816020
I could be wrong, but I wanna say the D1200 in the upcoming RG506 can actually play everything for PS2 and GC at fullspeed. I'm with you though, I'm not exactly dying to emulate those consoles right now anyways. I can wait for a form factor I like at a price I like, neither of which I'm expecting from the RG506.

>>9816139
>There's obviously no way they sourced that 4" screen just to use it in one device.
The RG552 says hello.

>>9816148
Okay well I guess there is a way, but the screen just struck me as their new 3.5" that they'll slap in everything.

Apparently the X28 is going to up for order tomorrow and they're only making 200 units for the first batch or something. Looks pretty decent if you're wanting a t618 device with built in grips and a bigger 5.5" display. Pic made me laugh, and elsewhere in the comments they just casually confirmed they're making an rk3588 handheld.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=xgjOVbamehQ

>>9816179
Yeah looks quite decent, like a better max 2. What games can this run?

>>9816181
It's the same chip as the RP3+, so it's killer for Dreamcast and PSP (T310 was good but didn't quite cut it for me).

Hey guys I'm rebuying that piece of shit here.
The build quality was nice, it's smol and it's enough for playing GB/C.
The boot-time is abysmal but w/e.

Like any? Any recent one. Just delink the Nintendo account and factory reset it, then proceed with the hacking

>>9816139
>D1200
Lol no, even the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 has issues with AetherSX. If your bar for "everything" is above 50% for those two emulations and having something between the Odin Lite and regular Odin in performance, then yes, that meets the standard but that's not everything aka being able to play everything that doesn't have obvious emulation issues that needs to be fixed in software and the fact that AetherSX2 development is now frozen in time with nothing to replace and continue its software improvements means PS2 emulation on ARM/mobile will be stuck for quite a while.

>>9816230
Probably this. Never use the SD cards these things come with, they are slow and dogshit.

>>9816397
I guess it's not everything, the only bit I'd seen on the chip before was Russ saying he couldn't find anything that doesn't run fullspeed. Still, it seems to be pretty good for PS2 in general. This was done before the last aesther update that improved performance a lot, and even then it seems like only Hot Shots and SOCOM had issues maintaining fullspeed.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=45P9OOhUFMs
>between the Odin Lite and regular Odin in performance
it seems to run a lot of shit the SD845 in the Odin Base/Pro can't, and on benchmarks completely mogs it.
https://gadgetversus.com/processor/mediatek-mt6893-dimensity-1200-vs-qualcomm-sdm845-snapdragon-845/

somehow the fucking jelos dev of all people is the first one to give decent impressions of the ergonomics and d-pad on the ktr1

>>9816692
Oh I misread the specs, I thought it was an A73, not a A78, my bad, that's why I thought it would be below the Odin Pro's Snapdragon which uses the A75. Man, I guess the segment is earning enough money to make the lagging SOCs people can fit into these handhelds much better, that's only 3 generations behind the latest and greatest on smartphones.
With regards to PS2 emulation, I'm more or less talking about games that aren't usually classics (but there are some classics that run semi-bad like MGS3) which get focused on a lot but would be something that people would play because niche but people remember for nostalgia like SotC, Dirge of Cerberus, Shadow Tower, etc. which you can bruteforce your way into good performance on PC with PCSX2. Another is games you need to run in software mode. Rachet and Jak used to be in that camp but phones and performance have increased largely for those games, but others like Yakuza, Front Mission, Ace Combat can't hit good performance on mobile unless you want to be fine with annoying visual glitches and etc. I think it still works well enough even with the last build of AetherSX2 and the games that perform bad with workarounds will eventually get bruteforced but people have been lamblasting PS2 emulation for a lot of things that didn't have that much focus until recently.

>plastic KTR1 will weigh the same as the RG405m

X28 is on sale for $150 free shipping now. I know an anon was asking a lot about a handheld for streaming the other day, android + a bigger 5.5" screen + built in grips make this one seem like a pretty good option if you want the d-pad up top.

Is it just me or the quality build looks cheap?

I usually dont have anything to post on this thread. But yesterday; I finished debloating two android LG Premier Pro LTEs with universal android debloater.
turned one into an mp3 player and the other into a retroarch machine. That along with an 8bitdo sn30 pro? Comfy as fuck. Gonna do the same with a ZTE and an LG Stylo 5 soon and use a razer kishi for stylo.

Breaking news: 1st party console from more than a decade ago fucking sucks ass, manchild seething

The screens are hilariously bad, I had forgotten how dull and grainy they were, ergonomics suck too


Guess I need to buy either an RP3 or Steam Deck to enjoy DS games

>>9818363
aside from the nshitty4 the dual screen handhelds are the worst thing nintendo ever shit out and im tired of pretending otherwise. in somewhat related news gpd is making a dual screen handheld. this is from a guy that leaked gpd win 4 and maybe other stuff.

The powkiddy 2023 and that Arbenic game boy are about $70 after shipping. The YouTube guy claimed that the powkiddy was close to the Retroid pocket 3 I think. It just looks cheap as fuck though. If I care about build quality and screen quality, which one is better? Also can I put in a USB WiFi dongle or anything?

>>9818406
>close to the Retroid pocket 3
kek no. I love this thing and it certainly has more power than the Anbernic, but no. That said I don't have the 35xx myself, but I assume it has a more solid build quality. If you twist the rk2023 at a certain angle you get a creak, but otherwise I love it and think it's well made. I'm sure the screen on the 35xx is good too, but as far as I can tell the rk2023 has the best 3.5" screen from the way ecelebs talk about it, and it certainly does look great in person.

>>9818240
>universal android debloater
I got a couple of phones that might need this. what exactly does it do? will it wipe the phone completely if I use it? I have a phone I have with some stuff on it but cleaning it up would be kinda nice. not like the phone will ever have use past a shelf piece at this point or a rare mobile game (it has dokkan battle on it). what exactly does it do to the phone and how much debloat are we talking?
As for handheld ive been messing with my gameboy advance again lately. thinking I might look into a newer system tho or something I can emulate gb/color/adv.with since thhere's a buttload of stuff I missed for those systems.

>>9818406
So you're basically telling me I'm picking between build quality and screen quality,correct? Can the Powkiddy do Dreamcast and late 90s/early 00s arcade well? That's the main reason I didn't just get the Arbernec already. I'd like to play Die Hard Arcade, Dynamite Cop, and Elemental Gimmick Gear on the go and I know the Arbernec won't do that.
Also, would you say it would be simple to open the powkiddy and swap out the DPad for a SNES one and put some smaller buttons in there? I don't mind cutting the plastic to get the DPad to fit. I'm assuming sound quality means jack all if I use headphones, but is the speaker at least decent?

>dual screen handheld with 4:3 on the bottom and 16:9 on the top
This is literally what I was thinking about the other day. Perfect device for both retro and modern content. If they can pull it off, it'll be amazing.

I lost my Miyoo Mini. What's a good replacement the Plus or the RG35XX?

>>9818443
For the record I think the rk2023 build quality is good overall and similarly expect the screen on the 35xx to be good overall, but yes relatively speaking I think those are two strengths of the devices though I think the rk2023's greatest strength is how freaking comfortable it is to actually hold and play on

I just tried testing Dynamite Cop and E.G.G., and much to my surprise Dynamite Cop actually played pretty well. E.G.G. ran like shit during FMV cutscenes but then ran well during the regular gameplay as well as the 3D combat portion of gameplay. I say "much to my surprise" because literally everything else I've tried on Dreamcast ran like ass. Under Defeat, Border Down, Gigawing 2, Project Justice, Crazy Taxi 2, Sonic Adventure 2, and even Mars Matrix for some fucked up reason. At some point I just stopped trying any Dreamcast because I assumed none of it would be decent, but I guess that's technically wrong. Still, generally speaking it's ass for DC. As far as late 90s/early 2000s arcade, all the CPS2, CPS3, and Neo-Geo stuff I tried ran, well including Mars Matrix which ran like shit on DC. If you have anything in particular you want me to test I can do so.

As far as ease of opening it up and doing a swap I'm not sure, but personally I love the d-pad and buttons it came with. I know a lot of people have issues with the edges being "Sharp" since it drops off at like a 90 degree angle, and I was worried about that too before I actually got mine, but somehow when playing a fighter and doing a bunch of dp or qc/hc motions it's not something I notice. The speakers are surprisingly good, they get loud as fuck with no distortion/crackling at high volumes and it feels like the sound is being thrown straight into my face. My only beef is the bass is noticeably better on my RP3+, but I really doubt you'll find speakers this good on other sub $100 devices.

Hey so yeah. The debloater will do things like remove facebook and its installer and crap. Ibuse fdroid, droidify, izzypndroid, and aurora store(app store for google with anonymous login, can login withbgoogle account too for paid for items)
and I remove playatore ad anything google


The deloater will help you (once youvl've activated developer options and enabled usb debugging) To strip all or some stock software. The debloater will actually give you notes on every package if you click on it explaining what it does. Very nice of them.

SOME THINGS TO NOTE:if youre gonna uninstall the stock launcher? You need to have anew launcher selected and defaulted already, same for keyboard, dialer, messages, flashlight, file manager, vlc videobplayer etc. Ibusually start with a factory reset. Then i get fdeoid,aurora, launchers, apps installed, then ibuse thebuniversal android debloater. UAD

It feels nice to use but some units have an issue where the down input can be wiggled to give accidental diagonals.
You can fix it with a bit of tape and not all units exhibit it

Well, I do wish to know, how much is the typical wait for an Analogue Pocket to arrive, and how the wait is in comparison to the Analogue Super NT and the Mega SG?

>>9818794
Thanks anon. Does Crazy Taxi 1 run alright?
I don't know the Dreamcast hardware as well. If the Dreamcast port doesn't work, does this mean the arcade version won't work well either? I'm assuming Die Hard Arcade can run, but can the Saturn version run, or just the arcade version? How's saturn compatibility?
Would you say compatibility is everything under Dreamcast, and PSP?

Actually just did a quick look and it looks like Die Hard Arcade uses ST-V, which says it's based on Saturn arch. I'm assuming this means either version will have similar compatibility?

>>9818903
awesome thanks anon. I already tracked down its github and will be doing this in a bit. got a few things im backing up first just in case it goes wrong. good stuff. so much crap embedded into phones. i'll keep all thaat in mind about having a launcher (didnt plan on removing it anyways its decent for the phone)

>>9818794
>>9819079
>>9819092
Also how's the stock firmware? Is anyone working on a custom one? Garlic/Onion made me want the mini/RG and I'm assuming I'd be losing out on that compatibility

Some updates on the KT-R1 units that were sent to reviewers.
>The cases are actually injection moulded, but they are painted, and not painted all that evenly. The final versions have some minor tweaks to the mould and should have a better finish.
>No Wi-Fi antennae are installed. That was one of the parts Nil was waiting on (he has them now).
>These units have the original, defective touch screen wires that were too short. There's an extension cable in there. Shouldn't affect anything other than it looking a little more messy inside.
>The buttons are using modified Anbernic rubber membranes. The retail units will use custom made ones, but should feel the same.
>Dpad feels like the Anbernic ones, but considering the above that's not surprising
>The shoulder buttons rattle because they are too short. That's one of the tweaks Nil mentioned, he's lengthening the stems with a rubber pad.
>The operating system isn't finished, and what is there is apparently really bad.
>Sound quality is awful, thanks to some horrible processing (fortunately this can be turned off). However, with the processing turned off, it's quite quiet.
>Screen quality is apparently fantastic
>The device is really comfortable to hold
>Battery life is incredible

Should I get the pocket flip or wait for the pocket flip+?

I tried both DC and Arcade versions of Crazy Taxi 1, and predictably the performance was the same since it's running on the same emulator emulating what is essentially the same hardware. It was still kinda ass skipping a third of its frames to maintain fullspeed, but at least it actually WAS maintaining fullspeed and wasn't skipping nearly 2/3rds of its frames like CT2. I then tried both the arcade and Saturn versions of Die Hard Arcade. I couldn't get the arcade version to even boot because I guess I downloaded the wrong thing, but I'm pretty sure it was going to run considerably worse in MAME anyways. The Saturn version was unfortunately straight up unplayable. I don't mean it was a choppy mess and just kind of sucks, I mean you can't play it like this, it's running at halfspeed and frameskip does nothing to help. This was in the standalone yabasanshiro, the retroarch version would crash right after the title screen.

So yeah, if you're like me and really care about Dreamcast and Saturn, I'd pony up for an RP3+ or something. I would've been over the moon to play DC and Saturn on this thing, but unfortunately the chip just doesn't cut it. So yes, I think everything below DC and PSP (and Saturn for that matter) is about right. There is at least a lot of headroom for runahead, shaders, and more demanding/accurate settings for those consoles thankfully. I have a frame of runahead and some really demanding sound settings when I play Megadrive for instance that the rk3326 devices couldn't handle alone, let alone both at the same time.

The stock firmware is actually great, it's just a Powkiddy-ized variant of JELOS basically. Only thing I had to do immediately was swap the music, but that's a personal preference. That said, JELOS, UnOS, and ArkOS are all now supporting the thing. I'm pretty much always using ArkOS at this point.

>>9819593
I placed an order for a flip. I plan on waiting a good while before buying a new handheld after i get it up and running. I'm mostly just after a psp and gameboy emulator though. Some of the comments on youtube say to wait because of how quick they released the 3 and 3+ though.

what's some underrated retro kino i should play on my deck

>>9819187
Oh and btw there's this discount code that gives $8 off listed on their frontpage right now. I paid $85 for mine and absolutely adore it, so for freaking $67 and free shipping... I dunno man, I'm just saying...

>>9819294
Really glad people are saying it's comfortable. I'm good with everything there except the audio bit. I read that Lei guy's comments though and he did say Nil told the speaker supplier to retune them.

>>9819593
I honestly don't expect a Flip+ to come out in 3 months an RP4 with a new chip though, yeah. And then a Flip+ with that new chip 3 months after that

>>9819656
Einhander, Colony Wars 1&2, U.N Squadron, Astro Boy:Omega factor, Maximo 1&2, Ace Combat 3, the GITS for PSX

Is the deck worth buying? I'm so close to pulling the trigger but the cheap SKU is out of stock

>Install garlic OS
>Boot it up
>Start playing a game
>Need to change screen settings
>Realise its retroarch which means doing anything is a fucking nightmare

How do I get GBA games to scale as they do on the stock image? Please I'm so tired

>>9819669
My only problem with it is that the shoulder buttons feel kinda cheap.

One more time just as kind of a PSA.

Got an older android phone laying around? Something with 2gb of ram at least? Preferably android 6.0+ os.

You can take that phone. Strip a lot of thebstock firmware out of it: google play, youtube, facebook, carrier apps, samsung/lg/sprint/account... can all be uninstaled.

Universal Android Debloater. Before you use this you want to install the aurora store apk(lets you download google apps with no google account or your google account if you want.)
F-droid/droid-ify: these will let you download appa to replace whatever spy/stock firmware that you will remove.

Take your time
example if youre gonna replace your launcher? Do so BEFORE you uninstall/debloat the stockware. Do this with anything youre gonna replace first. grab retroarch from the droidify repositories or from aurora store along with any emulators desired. Customize your shit. Then plug in your phone withbusb and fire up the universal android after installing it on windows or linux or whatever.

You will notice a tab that saya recommended. These are all safe to debloat. Click this tab and you can choose advanced,expert, unsafe. These are the levels of safe to debloat apps and firmware. Click each package and it will give you details on what youre uninstalling. Go through this and strip out all that you dont want. This will pump your battery life UP and reduce cpu/gpu loads.(we wanna focus that on gaming after all) and once youre all finished. Hit reboot in the debloater gui and unplug your phone. Thia is great for making a game centric device as well as everyday phone use if youre simply inclined to increase the life and customization of your phone.

I LOVE MY MIYOO MINI

Is Daytona a giant resource hog and that's why he mentioned it?

>>9819294
Are people paying for beta testing this handheld?

Vita is the best.

>>9811948
not him, but mine is due to arrive today and maybe someone can ask me two questions: can i copy the preloaded roms from it? and everyone is shilling garlicos but from what i've seen it's mostly because of the customizable interface and some minor tweaks, would i really miss out staying on stock. i pretty much just want to play games and not stare at the menus. thanks!

No, these are preview units that reviewers got sent for free.

Gotta love the handheld consoles in nature aesthetic

Well, it's that time of week again. Nil said he's got to delay the KT-R1 for a few days because of a "problem of parameter and performance."

>>9820187
Update to the update. Apparently this delay will not cause a delay.
It is impossible to determine what is going on in Nil's head at this point.

>>9820103
>can i copy the preloaded roms from it?
Yes, you can. You can also redownload them from the manufacturers site.
>everyone is shilling garlicos
The stock OS is not unuseable, why not run with that for a few days, order a 32GB and a 128GB sdcard in the meantime, then switch to GarlicOS.
Possible alternatives are MinUI and Batocera, but GarlicOS is the ripest so far.

i have some cards lying around, i just haven't found a good reason to swap the system the minute i got the device. some youtubers gave me the impression that the stock system is horrible and garlic is the way to actually make this thing work properly while i've seen gameplayvideos it not having any problems with stock. that being said, it's my first modern emu, i think my 1992 famiclone won't count. maybe i'll try it on a rainy day, good to know i can just copy the roms over without having to redownload it manually - thanks!

You don't have to prostitute yourself for updoots around here, just send a juicy insult and we are even.
I personally would call you a cunt, but you lack the warmth and the depth.

Not just speakers, but possibly extra menu buttons, the volume and power, etc., They could have capitalized on the clamshell design a tad bit more but didn't.

>>9820352
i'm not posting on 4chan that much anymore so i forgot everyone is hostile to each other, kys

>>9818904
One thing that bothers me is the rather weak battery. Anyone can give me a link for a compatible battery? (3000+ mAh)

>>9819669
If you want an emulation handheld that can also turn into a console, then it's great. It plays pretty much everything I've tried including some PS3. Demon's Souls works fine, but I tried Killzone 2 and it was unplayable at about 10fps. Anything below PS3 is 100% perfect though, and if you hook it up to a TV you can play stuff at higher resolutions no problem too.
Being able to play PC games on it is great too, I can jump from playing Fatal Frame to Ready or Not in 10 seconds.

>>9818212
>Powkiddy
You really shouldn't be surprised

>>9820584
Sounds exactly what I want, thank you
Mostly just want an all in one console that can play everything I want to without being tied to a desk. Retro games look like shit on a 32" 4k monitor no matter what you do too.

Is DS on it good?

>>9820626
I haven't tried DS on it since I have a hacked 3DS to use for that. Performance wise I'd assume it runs perfectly fine, but playing 2 screen games on a single screen will never be particularly great.

>>9820673
I'm trying to find an actually good way to play DS games, but the hardware is a fucking curse around the software's neck.

DS' all fucking suck, even the best models are awful with shit screens and fucked ergos.

>>9820673
I strongly prefer just putting everything onto one screen personally.

The people that make these kinds of memes are too obese to actually go hiking

Its a great hobby, but mostly its just being sweaty and looking mournfully up hills you've voluntarily decided to waddle up with your big fucking backpack, squinting at maps, being uncomfortable (choose your flavour: too hot, soaked through, cold enough that you're afraid to stop moving, physically fine but suddenly feeling extremely isolated and/or existential fear that you've been going the wrong way for three hours and are now making the choice between spending the night in the corpse bag or trying to get down in the dark), 15% cooking and administration tasks and maybe 10% looking at the view and doing the joy in nature thing.

>T.solo wild camper

Jesus, I had no idea the 001 model of the GBA SP had such horrific screen design. It is like pulling teething trying to assemble or clean one because how of easily dust appears behind the screen. And I do mean *behind the screen*. Not behind the outer lens. What a nightmare. My SP is really old, and in more or less mint condition, so I might just sell it and get a 101 SP. Hopefully 101 systems aren't ass rapingly expensive considering I do think it's the definitive console with the gameboy branding.

>>9820972
Just buy a Chinese handheld at this point.
Its so much less stress and less expensive than trying to get even an OK experience on modern hardware

>>9819727
>>9819595
Yeah this ArkOS update is huge. Die Hard Arcade on Saturn is now running at fullspeed, as are Hyper Duel and Bulk Slash, albeit all with some frameskipping. Dreamcast is maybe running 10 - 15% better across the board. Still not great, but at least I can play SOME Saturn now.

>>9819967
I guess so, but it's running at a silky-smooth 20fps now just like the original :^))) 30fps for CE.

Anything good for kids? I'm thinking of just getting a famiclone handheld after my nephew corrupted the sd card on my rg351

saw a game boy color flashcart for 30 bucks, but I only have an original model japanese gba
think it would work with it?

i just bought a galaxy s23, can the razer kishi ruin its usb c connector?

>>9821017
You might be right. But I own like, 80 GBA games and I really like the buttons used for the SP. So ideally, I'd have to find a chinkshit console that:
a. can play gba carts
b. has the same buttons and placement as the sp
c. doesn't feel like it's sitting in a cheap 3d printed shell
Seems like a tall order.

>>9821202
GBC and GBA aren't region locked so if it would work in a GBC it should work in your console

>>9821268
If it has to be SP layout then yeah kind of impossible to find.
I had a modded fat GBA for a few years and I loved it but honestly I don't miss it, carts are obnoxious to deal with once the novelty wears off and nintendo's hardware sucks ass.

Happier with my chinese handheld, would like an SP layout gameboy clone if I could find it though.

Is the guy with the 3d printed grips for his consoles here?

Wondering about buying a cheap 3d printer vs just paying for someone to print me stuff

I don't want to print guns or any other cool shit just dumb toy things and warhammer figs

>>9811503
As someone who has as fetish for hand cramping, I disagree. My hands just feel so comfortable and boring using the Deck. I have to play for half a day to maybe start feeling some slight pain. It's such a turn off.
That's the reason why, for modern platforms, I will likely stick with the Switch. An hour on, and my hands feel like the vengeful spirit of Iwata himself is knifing my wrists. Absolute bliss.

dumb question but how do gba games look on the ds lite? is it a 1:1 pixel kinda thing? or is the picture blown up for the ds lite's bigger resolution? is the picture sharp or kinda blurry like the 3ds screen is when playing ds games?

>>9821438
gba games look great but unless you have a gba flashcart (which are kinda pricey), performance is the bottleneck. gbarunner2 for ds flashcarts exists but i’ve found it almost unplayable, the audio issues are bad. gba games might look slightly worse on the 3ds but they run and sound a whole lot better

>>9821438
They display 1:1 in a very slight border. Depending on the flash cart (I use an R4 with an EZFlash) you can change the border.

Why the hell does every modern handheld need to have the screen right in between your hands? What was wrong with the screen being above?

>>9821538
there's plenty of vertislop for you benchod basterd bitch. anyways the answers is because vertical is fucking SHIT

>>9821548
What

>>9821556
you heard me benchod

>>9821268
There was a chinese bootleg gba sp made around the late 2000s, it's been discontinued for over a decade though so good luck. There are modern ones but they're not clamshells

>>9821346
>fetish for hand cramping

>>9820623
Still better than coolboy.

>>9821438
They look good not blurry nor overly pixelated, though there is some slight hitching introduced by the difference in refresh rates between GBA and the DS, its extremely hard to notice.

Small though and the DS screens are bad, no matter what model you get

I used an EZ Flash and a DS Lite for a time and its a fine way to play, but for the cost of the ez flash and the sd card you're most of the way to your preferred chinese toy of the month, you're all the way there if you factor in the DS, though you can play DS games on that.


>>9820103
>>9820223
I disagree, the stock image is unusable for anything other than GB games and PSX for some reason, SNES was horrible, Megadrive not great, didn't test the rest before moving off of it.

No rebindable controls and no hotkeys are two massive issues that make moving immediately worth doing. Other annoying shit, aspect ratio settings and filters stay between cores, so if you have one setting for one system and others for other systems, hope you like configuring them again every time you move between the two systems.

I played through Castlevania AOS on the stock rom and it was fun, played well and I didn't have any crashes or anything, but anything but GBA and GBC wasn't fun and ran like ass.

The included ROMS are mostly crap too, at least on the one I got a lot of the roms just crash or have awful bugs and hacks applied to them,load your own roms.

If you're waiting on a new card showing up you could just play around with Garlic OS or MinUI on the stock card until your good SD turns up, it will last long enough to let you check out your options and play through a few games before your card arrives. I went with MinUI because like you the thought of having to configure retroarch on a gameboy filled me with actual palpable fear.

Remember when Miyoo actually had plans to release different handhelds?

>>9821689
I'll never get over these companies just using Nintendo IP and getting away with it.

So fucking funny

>>9820972
>Jesus, I had no idea the 001 model of the GBA SP had such horrific screen design. It is like pulling teething trying to assemble or clean one because how of easily dust appears behind the screen. And I do mean *behind the screen*. Not behind the outer lens. What a nightmare.
Oh, it is a nightmare, but it is possible. Cleaning the screen or replacing the screen of a 001 SP is the most teeth pulling scenario you can have regarding retro portables. Why? Because the 001 SP has THREE FUCKING SCREENS that must be PERFECT with NO imperfections, due to how easily the smallest smudge or tiny spec of dust shows up due to the front lit nature of it.
You have:
>the actual, physical hardware itself that is creating and displaying the image
>the screen overlay that is placed on top of that hardware
>the final, outer lens for the GBA display
That's three fucking screens that need to be SPOTLESS. You need to assemble your 001 SP with the speed of SATAN to avoid one dust particle from falling into any of those screens. It is hell. But it is possible. You just need to have a very clean work environment and move fucking fast.

>>9821548
Good morning sir

Is the DE version worth the extra money? I just wanna play muh golden suns.

>>9821753
>$46 for the regular cart
OK bit high but its an enthusiasts item
>$80 dollarinos for a flashcart
What the fuck
I got my EZ Flash Omega for £20 brand new when it came out when did the prices get so high?

>>9821763

Omega is not the same as DE and for that price you probably bought some chink shit.

I don't know if this counts as a handheld, but recently my smartphone, a Samsung Galaxy M30, started having some battery issues, and after sending it to repair I was essentially told that it's normal because it's 3 years old and it'll only get worse over time unless I spend a bunch of money for repairs, so I decided to spend that money on a brand new replacement, a Samsung Galaxy A14, anyways I didn't want to just leave my old one collecting dust, and I couldn't sell it for much... so I've decided to turn it into a dedicated retro handheld console, so I set it back to factory settings and from that point on it was just installing a bunch of emulators and ROMs, though I'm mostly using RetroArch as it's quite good on Android. I'm having a good time, it's nice having a handheld that can function as a portable PC whenever needed, that's very customizable, and the MOCUTE-060 I just got has been making the experience even more relaxing.

>>9821876
Never thought I'd see one of these with a Wii U button layout.

>>9821889
I got it mostly for this reason, most of them had an assymetrical layout, which isn't ideal for 2D, which is most of what I play, and the only symmetrical ones had the Wii U layout, so I went with this one as it felt like the better one among those, at least when taking in consideration things like cost.

>>9821325
That's all it's good for. The 3d plastic/resins can't handle the thermal expansions of the gases from the rounds.

>>9821083
FC3000 supposedly

FC3000 V2 IPS vs Data Frog which one is better

>>9821876
How does it feel in use? Thinking about doing this with my old phone but not going to bother if it's just a terrible experience.

>>9821743
>>9820972
There's the ITA mod for the SP, can't you just do that instead of trying to install this nightmare procedure?

>>9821929
Data frog looks like it was meant to be held by human beings that has to count for something

>>9821956
I'm having a decent time so far, though to be fair the main reason I went for it is because I had an old smartphone laying around at the same time I wanted a handheld and some of these controllers for smartphones are cheaper than a lot of those dedicated handhelds we see around here, some of which I was thinking of getting. I went for the MOCUTE-060 because it was cheap and had a symmetrical stick layout, and so far it works, but I must say that you feel how cheap it really is, it's not a premium product at all and the buttons are far from the best I've used... but it's not awful and I can play everything I want just fine, if you find it for really cheap like I did then I recommend giving it a shot to see if it's your thing or not.

>>9821961
I'm more looking for something with analogs and a touch screen for DS and some PSX games, I have an old phone lying around too but can't deal with cheap controls, guess I'm going shopping

>>9821969
Well, I hope you can find something that suits your tastes the best, anon! If you want something for your smartphone that doesn't feel cheap, I've heard some good things about Razer's controllers, and the Backbone One aswell, there's also the IPEGA PG-9087 which seems good for DS as it can leave your smartphone vertical, as for handhelds with touchscreens, I'm not very familiar with any, but there must be some I think.

Dumbfag here, just got my mini+ with onion OS and most ports I want running but stuck on getting Wolf3d and quake to work. H E the files in the directories, all lower case: (pak0.pak etc), then imported ports and they don't show. Anyone know where to get the right files?

>>9821978
>there's also the IPEGA PG-9087 which seems good for DS as it can leave your smartphone vertical
I've had both that and the Flydigi and the problem with them is that the buttons and build quality are absolutely awful. Bottom of the barrel. I'm sure the more recent ones like the Backbone and GameReddit X2 have better quality but it really sucks that you can't use them for vertical layouts and that they cost more than actual controllers.

>>9822021

Can't you just yeet or something?q

is the retroid pocket 3 the best option for someone who wants to play gba/ps1/ps2 games portably?

>>9822279
Not going to do PS2
Wait for the Rp4+ probably coming out this summer or buy a steam deck or something.

>>9821918
Wow this thing is interesting
>AA and li-ion battery dual slot
>fake gba multicart that hides all the licensed roms

Best part for me is that you can turn it off safely with the power button instead of the menu, and its cheap enough that I won't give a shit if kids beat it up.

>>9822279
>is the retroid pocket 3 the best option
yes
>for someone who wants to play... ps2
no

Fine, I admit it, I should've bought a horizontal handheld.

What do I buy that doesn't need a ton of work to make it usable? Coming from 35xx.

Had been looking at the 353p but maybe the retroid stuff is better? Its very expensive for something to play retro games on though

>>9822361
I've been thinking about getting an RK2023 since it's only $67 right now and is apparently very comfortable. Honestly though a Retroid Pocket 3+ isn't much more than the 353p but you get dramatically more handheld for you money.

>>9809682
Y 8 amogus H

Why not just get a steam deck?

>>9822508
Not a clamshell that fits in my pocket.

>>9822515
Are you waiting for the retroid flip then? The only other Chinkfacture with clamshells is powkiddy and they both suck.

>>9822508
Only good value model is out of stock and I'm not lugging it around everywhere

>>9822430
Is the pocket really that much nicer? Its $150 plus shipping, its well outside don't think about it toy money territory at that price 1

>>9822515
Look anon, I know you like how those cargo shorts have loads of huge pockets and you can store all your green day cds and wallet chains in them, but most adults tend to wear jeans. Also leave your toys at home, you have better things to do while outside.

>>9821235
The razer kiahi usb c bends an flexes so it shouldnt fuck it up. Plus it comes with rubber grips to form fit. should be ok?

>>9822430
I still don't trust people about liking that d-pad.

Realistically, how much longer until we have full speed GameCube and PS2 at the size of a retroid

What is the cheapest but comfortable device that can play GBA, GB, and maybe SNES games. I really don't care too much about n64 and PSX, but if the price isn't too high, I can go for it. I was looking at the RK2023 but similar to other anons, I don't trust youtubers and the dpad looks weird.

ok i pulled mine out to check. There ia some give to it. But I was wrong. Dont bend. Was thinking of another.

That being said it should be clear if yours is a fit or not. Theres two rubbers for if the phone is too small and theres a list of compatible phones.

>>9822975
the phone itself fits, what i'm worried about is plugging the controller in and out, over and over, over the course of months
my old xiaomi had a bad usb c connector that basically stopped working after charging it too many times, the connector itself was worn over time and no cable managed to fit anymore

I want to play Burnout 3, Paper Mario TTYD. and Timesplitters and not pay $200+ for the odin, Do I just need to suck it up and wait another year or two or is there something?

>>9823005
Yes, come back in two years.

>>9823005
You can emulate everything EXCEPT PS2 perfectly right now with the retroid pocket 3+
Either you get one of those and cope for a few years or you just wait until high end phone processors trickle down into super cheap territory within the next few years.

Does Retroid work during the weekend? Cause they were meant to start shipping on the 11th and I've still not had an email through it.

>>9822526
We need more SP lookalikes that aren't trash
Retroid flip looks decent but something a little bit smaller would be fantastic

Man, GBA emulation/gameplay on the PSP would be great if there wasn't such insane screen tearing all the time. Even on games like Donkey Kong Country, which aren't *that* fast of games, there's a distracting amount of screen tearing that occurs regardless of your emulator settings.

I use timers to manage my work and study productivity, 25 mins work, 10 mins break, repeat. I primarily use my handheld in those lil ten minute breaks. No way I'm taking a steam deck to work its fuck hueg

Just

>>9823370
Too cheap for 5000 games.

>>9823370
That's a mere 1.65 euro cents per game anon, do you have an issue with this insane value?

It's been five days since the pocket flip was released and buyers report it hasn't been shipped. Retroid mentioned a three day delay on the release date but they surely are taking their time lol

>>9823609
I ordered one the second it was available and I have not received a shipping notification. I’m giving it two more days before I cancel

>>9823630
They said on twitter they're doing it colour by colour so I thought they'd send the Sports Red first.

>>9823630
>>9823609

>>9823662
Shit, are they doing it in alphabetical order? I ordered black.

>>9823370
Why do the chinks photoshop current gen games and graphics onto the screen?

>>9823732
1 Idiots think they will play those games on it so theyd buy the product
2 Copyright proof, if your product is popular enough with the West (America mostly) you better steal from Chinese IPs on your marketing.

>>9823609
Retroid is so slow at sending handhelds to customers that they've always had a chart on the site indicating when the next shipment of a specific color is and whether you're going to be on that shipment. For as much shit as I give Anbernic, they're at least one of the only Chinese companies that have their shit together when it comes to shipping products.

>>9823609
As you stated it wasn't actually released *4 days ago since they mentioned there would be a 2 - 3 day delay, but yeah they should've given an update before they took off for the weekend since obviously nothing shipped on friday, the 3rd day of the delay. knowing them it'll start shipping monday unless there's another delay.

>>9823804
Powkiddy is good on that too and I admire that they're still doing free shipping, but yes Retroid, Ayn, Miyoo, and I think to a lesser extent Aya all suck ass in this regard. Frankly so does Valve and Analogue even though they're not Chinese. Ayn in particular is the fucking worst about this, there are people that waited 8 months for their Odin Lite.

Is there going to be a sale for the 3+ or anything once the Flip goes on regular sale?

I want one but $150 lmao

>>9823729
I'm sorry but I think they put the black ones at the back of the container.

>>9823907
Here's an idea, stop making these posts and actually try and have a conversation you yellow faggot.

>>9822508
Handhelds this bulky kind of kills the purpose of a handheld imo, like I'm not going to carry a steam deck around and if I'm at home why not just play on a console/PC. The "pocketable" factor is a big selling point for me in handhelds

+ I just think tiny tech is cool like those small fully functional DMG(pocketsprite) and SP(funkey s) keyrings are dope as fuck even if they probably would be terrible to actually play on lol

>>9822508
not sure about other countries but in australia they cost 3 times as much as one of these little abernics or retroids.

so you could literally buy 3 of them, or upgrade 3 times for the price of the steam deck

I'm doing an experiment where, when I go in to put electrical tape over the contacts to fix the d-pad, I'm also going to be swapping out the d-pad for a custom made d-pad in the shape of the phat original Nintendo DS's d-pad. I have renders of both the RG35XX's d-pad and the NDS phat's d-pad, going to make the latter's shape fit and work with the former's hardware, 3D print it, smooth it out, and see how it works.

I'm also considering buying some "clicky contacts" for the RG35XX to make it more feel like the phat NDS's, which would wonderfully click into all eight directions.

>>9824061
I just genuinely believe the phat NDS's d-pad is the single best d-pad of all time, beautiful and perfect for every type of game, 2D or 3D, and wish Nintendo didn't abandon it for "aesthetics".

>>9823859
Your best hope is during Black Friday, I remember the RP3 (non plus) going down to $99 last year.

>>9823859
Maybe when the RP4 comes out. I don't see the Flip applying any pricing pressure considering it's the same chip and screen just in a different form-factor and the Flip is already $10 more. RP3+ is also already the cheapest T618 device outside of the 2 Powkiddy ones.

>>9824063
I am unironically trying to convert my OG DS to a PC gamepad to play Modern Tetris using it.

>>9824063
I wouldn't go that far, but I do think it's the best d-pad they ever made.

>>9824142
I remember using a homebrew that worked over wifi.

PSP dpad was always a very underrated one for me.

>>9823907
Why is this handheld taking so much time to shape when anbernic and retroid shits a new model every three months?

>>9824345
because it's literally one chink in charge of everything and he's never made a handheld before.

>>9824345
Nil gives estimates based on absolutely everything going to plan and there never being any issues.

I wonder if you can play doom on these.

>>9824142

Manufacturing is extremely difficult and always has delays and problems yo be worked out.

Big companies that have experience of this give more realistic timeframe a a result of having experience of this, this thing is being made by one guy and he's finding it all out as he goes

>>9824582
How did I fuck up this post this badly

I got my pocket in and no one ever mentions how bulky it is. Not nearly as pocketable as my trusty 353M. Definitely a lounging around the house or on the plane type of device

>>9824731
horichads, we won again!

>>9824589
kek it do be like that sometimes

does anyone know of a pockatble handheld with only two face buttons like the GBA?
i have a 351p and the abxy just feel too cramp

I wish they copied this or made a phone case like this.

>>9824731
Do you feel buyers remorse or do you actually like it? The technology is cool but IMO its also kind of a so what? product

>>9824798
The RS-90 but I doubt it's very good.

>>9824802
Well it took a year to get here so I kinda feel mentally removed from the purchase, it’s kinda like a gift from my past self if that makes sense, so no remorse. It's cool but the cores feel half baked, I usually dont mind not having save states but not being able to use sleep mode on most of the cores is a big negative for a portable. Not sure if I'd buy it again if it broke or got lost but its nice to have for GB games

>>9822986
I mean it wont last forwvwr. But i wouldnt worry then if thats the issue gotta figure its been tested for continous connect/disconnect. plus thankfully theyre pretty cheap.

seems like we won't get any videos until orders are back up. I guess that makes sense but now I'm worried about something delaying orders going back up further.

>>9825059
He probably wants to get the software issue sorted out that is slowing down emulation on some of the units. Having said that, no one has mentioned anything yet about poor performance (of those who have mentioned performance).

How is Sega Saturn emulation on android? I'd like to try out that Dungeons & Dragons Collection game.

>>9824801
Too bad they didn't make a second slider stick and move the start and select to the center.

DSi now and Retroid Pocket 4+ whenever it inevitably comes out or RP3+ now? There are about 10 or DS games I want to play plus a bunch of dreamcast and saturn games, it irks me to buy something that's about to be replaced like the RP3+ is though I know the DS experience is supposed to be fairly good on it

>>9825096
sony is utterly retarded when it comes to hardware, until recently their walkmans (yeah they still exist) used a proprietary cable like the ps vita

>>9824831
Can confirm. It's awful. Though with dingoo OS being ported it's not that bad. Good for NES/SNS/Genesis/GB/C emulation. GBA struggles sometimes.

>>9825096
Ergonomically it'd be a nightmare having both sliders so close together, and the PSP catalog was built with a single stick in mind anyway.

No way Sony would be bothered to spend the time figuring out a good way to implement two stick support for games not designed for it.

>>9824801
PSP Go is still one of my favourite handhelds, and even after years of use its showing no wear down or signs of getting looser with the sliding mechanism. Underrated gem for PS1 games

>>9824859
my phone is NOT pretty cheap.

>>9825072
it's not great broadly speaking because frankly it's still not great even on x86, but it gets the job done. My experience with it on Android vs on these little ARM Linux machines has been much better at least. I haven't tried the D&D Collection personally, but I'd bet it's fine.

>>9825372
With literally zero evidence, I have a feeling they're going to want a 3 month gap between the Flip and the RP4. Heck, maybe even a bit longer since they still plan to release that vertical handheld too. And then once it does come out, you're stuck waiting at least another month after shipping starts to have yours ship since it's a new in-demand product and that's just how every Retroid launch is.

So yeah, if you don't want to wait (I wouldn't), you could always buy the RP3+ now and just get comfortable with the idea of selling the device on eBay once your RP4 arrives.

>>9825570
Flip for the Spring, Vertislop Retroid for the Summer, and RP4 for the Fall.

>>9824840
>Well it took a year to get here
Jesus fucking Christ, and I thought Ayn. FGPA hardware emulation sounds kind of neat as someone who's never used it, but I do wonder if it's really all that much better than just using software emulation with a frame or two of runahead,

My Mini+ does a loud pop when I'm turning it on.
Should I worry about that? Is there some fix for it?

>>9825713
Probably just the speaker powering on, likely nothing to worry about

My autistic fixation on handheld devices is peaking into my dreams, I just met a 90s slightly plump but in a good way waifu girl and her plucky comic relief friend in a mattress store while trying to return one that I had bought the night before for being too large for the bed sheets I had, and they used some kind of gameboy come calculator as a PDA but it was mechanical like a typewriter crossed with the control label of some pre digital factory machine.

It had a feature for figuring out when your parking ticket ran out that involved turning a key to indicate whether it was a Sunday or not then punching in day/date/time and flipping a rocker switch.

I offered to help pay for the mattress they were trying to buy then changed my mind once we were outside the shop and they invited me on a guest to save conic reliefs brother from some shit in a different city, which I agreed to and also offered to part finance the purchase of a new bed frame in lieu of the mattress
At this point I woke up and briefly panicked thinking I had missed our rendezvous in the other city before realising it was a dream.

Only thing I don't like about playing GBA games on the DS is that there's no way to do colour correction, so unless you're playing a super popular game that had a colour correction patch made for it you're stuck with blown out cartoon colours.

It isn't as bad as it is on IPS gbas but it still looks garish.

>>9822840
One problem my smartphone has, which I forgot to mention, is that I can't plug it in on my PC anymore, not even resetting it to factory settings solved this, right now my main way of transferring my PC's files to it is through Google Drive. I've managed to remove a lot of the bloat after installing it, mostly things I never used, but I like it that it can still work as a smartphone when needed, so I kept most of the Samsung and Google applications I find useful. I appreciate the advice anyways, I have an old Motorola smartphone with Android 6 on it which has become almost unusable, this could save, but my current setup with this old Samsung has kept me happy as is, still I appreciate all of the info, anon!

>>9824802
Not him but I have one and barely play it. The games look and run great, the screen is awesome, input lag is about as low as playing on a CRT. But the ergonomics are absolutely godawful. I can barely play for 15 minutes before my hands start cramping like hell. Might order some kind of grip for it.

cont. from >>9826476

>>9825620
> but I do wonder if it's really all that much better than just using software emulation with a frame or two of runahead,
It's really not. I'm very sensitive to input lag and I can't tell the difference going back and forth between the Pocket and my RP3+ with retroarch latency settings tweaked, including runahead.

I can tell a massive difference though when I go back and forth from the AP or RP3+ to an IPS modded GBA. Those IPS screens are just massively laggy. I measured up to 5 frames of lag in those, and only 2 - 3 on the AP/RP3+

I do miss the days of kiosks in stores. I have no idea if this would be comfortable for me or not. I want to play GBA/PS1/PSP games well, and this seems like the best option.

>>9826541
Idk if it would be comfortable since it's literally just a rectangle

>>9826541
It's alright in terms of comfort but my hands start to cramp a bit after a while if I'm playing something that uses the analog and triggers. It really could have used some bumps in the back for grippage.

>>9826541
I think it's comfortable, but worst case scenario for some fucked up reason it looks like you can sell it on ebay for more than you bought it for if you don't like.

>>9826567
The official grip is really good for analog and trigger usage. I personally prefer to not have my hands filled due to my autism tho.

>>9821642
DS Phat is vertical and has the comfort of horizontal

>>9826645
it's a fake vertical, a fraud.

whats the best supported device from a company with experience and a big community?

>>9826660
RP3+ or Steam Deck

>>9826541
It's like a switch lite, but slightly smaller, there's a grip case available for it too, so its probably fine.

I want one but its expensive.

>>9826692
>I want one but its expensive
Is it? 150 USD seems like a steal for a portable with a screen like that, that can play dreamcast games with little to no issue.

You can CFW Japanese PSP systems just fine, right? Or is it like the PS1 and PS2 where homebrew just doesn't work the same on JP PSP systems?

>>9826649
But it's literally best of both worlds

>>9826696
$150 for essentials isn't much money, for a unique experience or big event its an expense but whatever, for something completely superfluous like yet another games console when I have a computer that can do this stuff anyway yeah its a lot of money to me.

>>9825815
Real question is when will they make an improved V90

>>9826808
Yeah all PSPs are good. Also all PS2s are good to be software modded too nowadays.

why the fuck does every gameplay video of the rp3+ have these weird little white lines on the left and bottom of the screen

>>9827147
Android menu shortcuts in fullscreen mode. You can disable them from the settings.

>>9827147
Android does this to show you where the edges of the screen are, you can turn it off in most ROMs.

>>9820941
That sounds like an awful hobby.

anbersisters? our response??

>>9822508
These are literally pointless.
>too big to fit in a pocket
>anything it needs the specs to run I'd have a better time playing on my PC
Switchlikes are a fucking blemish on handhelds. If it can't fit in my pocket, it's not a real handheld. Period.

>>9827208
You would think that, but sometimes it reminds you that it really is an excellent hobby

>Pic related last hill of a 2 day camping trip

>>9827227
I play on my Steam Deck and other handhelds while sitting right in front of my desktop kek. Even though I only play at home, I still prefer playing on handheld for whatever reason. I do prefer a smaller handheld tho, but it has nothing to do with my pockets.

>>9827212
I’m gonna be honest none of powshiddys stuff seems to hold a candle to the rp3*. Seems like if you want vertical and all d-pad it’s the rg35xx, anything else rp3+ and wait for a better chip that can reach farther into the ps2/gc/wii library. Everything else feels like literal fucking e-waste, the supposed anbernic quality means screens falling out of handhelds.

>>9827227
I just don't end up doing anything fun when sat at my computer, I endlessly doom scroll the internet then wonder why I'm bored and unhappy.

I regret it but I'm just not a PC gamer anymore, I enjoy the console experience and Steam Deck gives the console experience with near flexibility and my extant library.
Also I'm autistic as fuck and wear a coat festooned with pockets and a backpack everywhere so I could take it with me wherever if I really wanted to but usually just take my 35xx as its more of a true portable device.

>>9827303
*near PC flexibility

>>9825570
Retroid isn't that dumb, they already caught flak for releasing the RP3+ and only leaving a 3 month window with the RP3 and screwing over buyers. They won't repeat that mistake again if they know what is good for them, on top of the fact that they'll want to wait for better chips to come out later this year.

>>9825858
LMAO, you serious? He cofounded a social media company that raised 40 million USD and then became part of Ycombinator during its prolific rise in the 2010s and funded several hundred successful companies with at least 10 getting into the 1 billion dollar valuation range or are unicorns. Running OpenAI is out of his technical skill depth as a Stanford dropout, sure, but doubting his business acumen with a resume like that is foolish. The headline assumes differently but he is literally trying to leverage every example possible now to keep the company ahead of everyone else.

>>9827428
3 months after the Flip would be like, what, 8 months after the RP3+? I think that's a fair amount of time.

>>9827428
*advantage, not example, stupid autocorrect.

>>9827441
8 months is PC handheld tier, and the main issue is still getting a better chip because the amount of improvement needed to run Dolphin and AetherSX2 on RP3+ now vs closer to something like the Odin is quite a ways off and I'm not sure they can get away with a chip that can do it 10-20% better.

>>9827453
yeah you're right, they could always wait even longer for a better chip, just saying I don't think people would (or at least should) but mad about a successor 8 months after. That's the length between the RP2 and the RP2+ iirc and everyone was cool with it.

I want a RP3+, but I feel like the urge to play GC/PS2 games will be there, and then I'll be annoyed when they run poorly. I don't know of any alternatives that are in the same price point that do PS2 better. At least DC games run great.

>>9827470
I like code veronica but they must have been smoking meth to print that it was a 10 never mind actually thinking it

>>9827494

>>9827494
still the best RE tho, don't care what anyone says.

>>9827470
You can spend more than twice the money to get the Steamdeck which is more than twice the size and weight, that's your options at the minute.

Except you can't buy the good value sku of the steam deck at the minute so its more like spending 2.6x the money

>>9827470
I'm in a similar situation - both my PSP system and GBA SP (101) system are getting up there in age, and if I wanted to return to using them frequently, I'd need to get a new screen for the PSP, and a new rechargeable battery and maybe a new screen for the SP. So, currently, I'm at a crossroads of either fixing up my old portable consoles, or just spending the $149 for the RP3+ and being able to play both those libraries from there. Never once have I owned or used a third party portable game console before, so I'm a little hesitant.

Predicting the exact timeline for technology advancements can be challenging, but we can make an educated guess based on past trends and the current state of emulation technology.

Over the past few years, we've seen significant improvements in the performance and capabilities of retro handheld devices. These improvements are due to a combination of better hardware, advancements in emulation software, and increased interest in retro gaming. As technology continues to advance, we can expect handheld devices to become more powerful and capable of emulating more demanding consoles, like the PS2 and Gamecube.

Currently, devices in the Retroid Pocket 3+ price range (around $100) are capable of emulating consoles up to the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation 1 with good performance. However, PS2 and Gamecube emulation require more powerful hardware due to their more complex architectures and higher graphical requirements.

Considering the rate of hardware improvement, it could take around 3 to 5 years for a device in the Retroid Pocket 3+ price range to achieve approximately 50% compatibility with PS2 and Gamecube libraries. This estimate assumes that the cost of more powerful hardware will continue to decrease and that emulation software will also improve over time.

>>9827470
We'll probably be there in a year or two. Once these companies start using chips like the RK3588, GC and PS2 will be great on them.

>>9827609
Hardware is inevitably going to get better and flagship mobile phones have technology that eventually makes its way into cheap Android TVs and handhelds 3-5 years later even if for some reason ARM processors progress die tomorrow and everyone moves to something else. The problem as always is software. Xbox emulation is nonexistent but considering progress on desktop, not surprising. No PS3 emulation efforts started. PS2 emulation progress is dead. I guess the only good thing is that the Nintendo side of things has software and progress associated with it but when the systems themselves are mobile already, it's redudant.

Emulating ps2/gamecube games on those handhelds feels a bit too much. I know we have reached that stage but the emulators feel very resource and battery exhaustive. Funnily enough I wouldn't have a problem with pc games from that era. I dunno, I just don't feel the appeal.

>>9827914
If that Aethersx2 dude wasn’t such a massive, execution style shot to the back of the head deserving faggot we might have more progress on that front. At least the dolphin devs try. I do agree in most cases it isn’t worth it currently, need probably two more significant step changes in chip power.

the fuck is with that taki udon video
is he actually on the dev team creating the retroid products or is he doing some weird autistic attention whoring thing
because he says over and over he designed and created it, even doubling down on it in the comments, but I've never heard of this guy before

Meh, when you have a place bigger than a studio apartment it's nice to be able to bring games to different parts of your house.

you think the miyoo mini plus is a good replacement for a gameboy advance sp? it's waaaaay cheaper than a used gba sp and it sort of looks like it would feel similar to hold and play

>>9828096
It definitely is a good replacement
>Build quality about as good
>Better screen
>Buttons feels nice
Pic related has a similar form factor but from what I've read the plastic feels quite cheap.

Speaking of the Miyoo Mini Plus, I'm torn between getting either it or the RP3+. The MM+ has a pretty god tier design, both it and the RG35XX. Just looks good, screens look good too. But the RP3+ can apparently knock guys like the PSP and Dreamcast out of the park, which for only around double the price, is really impressive.

No idea

I feel like there's a reason he's intentionally being so vague, both in the video and in the comments section below the video.

>>9828204
yeah, he's full of shit

>>9828204
Reminder that he kept dodging questions about the start/select buttons in the comments, which means it was almost certainly his fault for their retarded placement.

spend an extra $50 for the ayn odin lite.

>>9828239
It's built like shit, so no

Got a miyoo mini plus. Pretty comfy so far.

>>9828250
retroid and ayn are owned by the same company and share some of the same parts like d-pad and sticks. can't say for certain but i'm sure its build quality is no worse than the rp3+'s.

Just ordered an Anbernic rg35xx. I read that the included sd cards are shit and prone to failure. Any recommendations for replacement sd card capacities? I'm thinking 16gb for the os card and 64gb for games.

Couldn't resist. Went and got it while the code still worked for $67. Are you using stock OS or custom OS? Where would I get the update you mentioned since there's no wifi chip in the thing? Also, could I just hook up a USB wifi dongle to a USB A to C connector and get wifi that way?

>>9828351
BASED! Hope you love it too m8. And the update with the performance boost was for ArkOS. At this point if you're gonna want to play any DC or Saturn on the thing you, you definitely want to use ArkOS over the variant of JELOS that comes on the stock card.

Obviously you download from the link here that says it's for RK2023, and then you flash whatever card you want to use with it. If you've never flashed a card with one of these things before, there's instructions on how to do so right above that section in the link. It's a lot of words to basically just say
>download and unzip image
>use program to select image to flash onto your selected drive
>place flashed card into rk2023 and power on for rom partition to be created

But also yes you can use a wifi dongle with it
https://github.com/christianhaitian/arkos/wiki/Frequently-Asked-Questions---rk2023#q-how-do-i-configure-my-wifi-connection-in-arkos
Personally I did my art and meta data scraping on my PC ahead of time with skraper so I didn't need wifi. Just select "Recallbox" settings in the setup wizard and it'll configure everything exactly as needed in your rom directory so that all you have to do is drag and drop the produced "media" folder in the rom directories onto your flashed card at the same time as you drop your roms in.
https://www.skraper.net/
For updates once the card is flash, all I've had to do is drag and drop the new rk3566-OC.dtb and image file onto the boot directory of the flashed card.

You can get sandisk ultra cards for less than $10 on amazon/any supermarket

>>9828262
The fact that something this small can play ps1 games well blows my cock off

so far really liking my RG353P except for one specific problem, the battery life is oddly crap, and it's also oddly fiddly regarding charging

>>9827643
>RK3588
Soon?

>>9828239
>spend an extra $50 for the ayn odin lite
Oh hell no. I can appreciate what it does on a general level, but the fact that you can't even play popular titles like Ratchet and Clank without significant tweaking, and even then the game looks outright bad and performs poorly, it's not worth it. If you really want PS2 emulation that doesn't suck in this general price point, just wait a year or two.

>>9828897
Yep, you're paying $50 for maybe 10% more titles on ps2/gamecube, and for what? does having that one or two ps2 games make or break the platform for you? It's not a significant change unless you jump to lets say, 50% of those platforms give or take.

>>9828840
Is this an issue of the 353 line?
