/vr/ - Retro Games

>>9833408
Damn, that's a sleek looking UI.

>>9833415
Off the top of my head, I think that system was the first portable console that let you use custom images for the user interface. With modding you can change the icons and so on too.

How much should I be paying for this?

>>9833447
ahh right, I keep forgetting about that.

>>9833415
It's just the standard PSP one with a custom background. Nothing to see here.

My secondary friend, that art is not from Third Birthday.

sisters, our guy posted a review

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f3q49jn1Vzo

I'm somewhat tempted by this 3:2

>>9833567
is this one of those stupid monitors that uses fuckin crt shaders in order to make games look halfway decent? lame

>>9833567
4:3 content on my 16:9 22" monitor is already too fucking big.

>>9833576
What, no, it doesn't have any by default, he just flips them on in retroarch for a bit. That's actually a thing lmao?

>>9833580
lmao lol lmao?

It still must be said. Mitochondria from the IRL world caused 2008 because of 3rd Birthday.

you say our guy facetiously but he's easily the best of the bunch
unless you want to listen to The guy Who types like This in all his. Descriptions
Or Taki ''I designed the Retroid Pocket 3+ and I also invented the internet'' Udon

>>9833609
No I actually wasn't being facetious, but that's the fun of calling everyone our guy. Taki needs to delete his account he's a sperg queer, and not the good kind that work on emulators 23 hours a day

>>9833609
>mfw the retrododo guy that everyone fucking hates is probably going to have the first flip review

>>9833432
Is the RG35XX significantly worse than this? I know the RG35XX has worse battery life. But the 5XX is actually available for me to purchase and receive in a reasonable time frame.

>>9833609
>Taki ''I designed the Retroid Pocket 3+ and I also invented the internet'' Udon
I hate that lil nigga like you wouldn't believe

>>9833609
Taki is an arrogant autist confirmed

>>9833626
The battery life is bad despite chang cope that it's "not that bad lol just have to plug it in a few times!". I bought a 3500mah off ali and swapped it which improved it. That combined with underclocking via Garlic helps a lot.

>>9833624
>retrododo guy
the funniest thing that guy ever did was seeing the pornhub logo used as the banner for the media player app on a powkiddy console, and he started acting like he found child porn on the console

Whelp, I just ordered a Miyoo Mini Plus. Never owned one of these third party game devices before, but my GBA SP 001 is begging for retirement at this point. The fact that the MM+ can play anything other than GB/GBC/GBA games is just a nice bonus to me.

>>9833814
wow that is a really nice looking sp

>>9833432
I got mine for $69.99, 64GB micro SD card included, free shipping. I'm not sure if you're going to be able to beat that deal.

>>9833609
Which one is the John Wick looking guy? I kinda like him. He always seems like one bad day away from no longer giving a fuck and blaming everything on jews

>>9833432
MSRP. You get 2 tries every month. Follow the Twitter account (Google something like miyoo mini restock Twitter and it should pop up) he'll give you plenty of heads up time. Last restock lasted a while now that people know that the miyoo isnt special so you'll get one if you stay up.

>>9834559
He is a basedboy bro. He is one tweet away from supporting BLM pacific riots.

>>9833814
Hope you enjoy it

Ordered a Miyoo Plus for 102€, have the chinks fleeced me? The RG35xx was only 50€, but someone said the battery was bad.

>>9833626
I am using MinUI on my 35xx and the deep suspend really helps with battery life, think how much you'll notice the poor battery is going to depend heavily on your use case, I use mine in 10-15 min bursts while on breaks and have no problems but if you are going to be taking long train rides or something if might be problematic.

I think if you're going to be playing tons on one of these consoles it makes sense to spend more money and get something in a more comfortable form factor like rp3+, or at least spend the $10 for a bigger battery for the 35xx

>>9834684
You chinked yourself

>>9834725
Please don't say that, it makes me feel bad to be honest with you.

Anyone else got a shipping email from Retroid for their flip yet?

>>9834749
Yeah you overpaid a bit, too bad, so sad, if you enjoy the device when it gets to you why do you care? It's not that much money, just be more careful next time

Still the best for everything up to and including PSX

>>9834797
The 3DS sold poorly compared to the DS, and the New models sold even worse, so how the fuck are we supposed to buy it for cheap?

>>9834801
You should have not fucked up and bought it in 2016 like me

>>9834802
Gee, thanks for the obvious answer. Except I could only afford a shitty 2DS back then

>>9834803
If you're in Europe, you can get one from Refurbed for around €180
I'm sure there's similar shit in the US or wherever the fuck you are

>>9834684
>Miyoo Plus for 102€
Bro what the fuck would compel you to do that?

Perfection.

>>9834863
The AGS101 is pretty much perfect, except for the low, mono audio.

>>9835404
>the stripe payment is almost the same
True, it's both based on the internet and HTML, amirite?

>>9835404
I've never known Nil to underestimate how long it actually takes to do something.
On another note, what's up with the JelOS dev having a spack attack over that youtube guy? Anyone know what the beef is?

>>9835471
when you get right down to it, it's all just all 0s and 1s egghead BULLSHIT

>>9835490
I don't know but that was hilarious. JELOS guy was actually acting uncharacteristically normal in there until that bong retard showed up. The bong is a retard don't get me wrong, but JELOSman was clearly in the wrong here.

apparently there's a shipping delay for people that ordered one of the red flips. retroid currently committing sudoku and planning to send a free carrying case to those affected as an apology.

also /our guy/ eta prime got this watermelon unit, review of this emulation BEAST soon

>>9835852
They're all emulation BEASTS...until they all start showing their limitations in regards to power

>>9835865
*until they have a framedip running bloody roar 2

JELOS guy absolutely SEETHING in his cuckcord over being called immature. is now sending his dev unit back to nil declaring he's not going to put jello on it anymore. some random tranny dev said he's still working to get linux on it tho.

>9835881
Apparently going mental for no obvious reason and then pulling an OS out of pure spite for absolutely everyone qualifies as 'standing up for what's right.' Apparently it's over some open source bullshit. But who the fuck simps for an emulation handheld linux dev? This is a new low for society.

>>9835852
This looks really uncomfortable, which is jarring considering how comfortable the original RP3+ is.

How come the PSP isn't allowed as retro with all its classic ports and remakes but these chink emulation machines from 2023 are?

>>9833458
>Third birthday is the reason why the financial crisis happened. .
Getting your dates a bit mixed up there

>>9835914
Discussing the PSP for the purposes of emulating retro games is allowed. Discussing it for the purposes of playing PSP games is not. Same goes for Vita. Them's the rules until eventually they aren't and PS3 is considered retro. Which will be a dark, dark day.

My Flip will never ship

>>9833567
>our guy
Who? He speaks like he frequents the Castro district in SF

Why did OP screw up the naming of this general?

>>9835914
Because the PSP has its own library of games and that library does not meet the classification of /vr/

>>9835928
The rules on this board can be really confusing.

>>9835914
people talk about psp, vita, ds, and 3ds in here all the time anon. no one cares. if you want to be autistic, the distinction is talking about them as emulation devices for /vr/ content vs their actual library, but in reality you can talk about running/emulating their library in here too and no one will care.

>>9835939
There's probably not enough interest in an emulation board, so this ends up being the best place for it. I don't see why there isn't a dedicated handheld board, though, when there's a sodding mobile games one.

>>9835961
4chan already loses money. Probably doesn't want to split the place in to even more dead boards. However we could replace an existing board with a handheld one, I propose we get rid of /lgbt/

>>9835937
>Why did OP screw up the naming of this general?
My newfaggot friend, generals are not allowed on this board. The last thread fucked up with that title and it's a surprise it wasn't deleted.

>>9835881
>>9835898
This is exactly why I don't care about Linux handhelds and their custom firmwares. I don't want my OS to be at the whim of whether some autist got up on the right side of the bed or not. At least with Android I know I can just set up Retroarch, standalones, and Daijisho and not have to worry about it ever getting discontinued or unsupported due to stupid drama.

>>9835852
eta prime is who Madlittlepixel talks about when he says that he saw the numbers that he gets for favorable reviews by chinese companies

ETA is not our guy.

>>9836149
very unbeastly comment tbqh...

>>9836171
Fuck these paid advertisers, these dudes are not our friends, they get paid to talk about product, that is all that is.

>>9836149
THIS affordable mini PC is a BEAST!!!!

>puts $4-500 in worth of RAM and SSD upgrades as well as a dedicated GPU

uh yeah, this $200 office PC turned $700 gaming PC is an emulation beast isn't it

Lads, got myself the meme Data Frog handheld. For £20 it's absolutely the handheld I ever bought.
>The screen is actually fantastic. 320x240 but bright and sharp and clear.
>It's seriously comfortable to hold. Not even joking, it's more comfy than the Vita.
>I lucked out with the buttons. They don't stick or go inside the unit. Very responsive, but loud.
>Dpad is good. No issues with diagonals. Very springy and snappy. If you've ever used a cheap SNES pad you'll know what I mean.
>The speaker is really good.
Now the bad.
>The screen refresh rate is nowhere near 60Hz. The screen tearing is constant and judder is unavoidable, even when the game is running properly. Anything fast moving is not pleasant to look at.
>Performance on higher systems is predictably crap
>Button mappings are weird and unchangeable. For example, the Game Boy games have the buttons inverted.
>Many of the included ROMs are straight up broken. Of the seven games I tried, three failed to load properly.
>The sound does this weird thing where it will occasionally repeat things. This happened across all systems, so it's not emulation related.
Overall, this is a handheld alright. For my purposes (leaving it in the car as an emergency Tetris machine), it's worth the money. If it's ever figured out how to make custom firmware, it could be great.

>>9833567
I commented in his video why the 3:2 is not working correctly for the GBA core. It is obvious he is a retard and also it was a "non" sponsored video.

The same kind of retard like MKBHD that only reads specs and do "tests" to comply with the sponsors

>>9836456
Pic related is the screen

>>9836457
Why wasn't it working?

>>9836457
At least dudes like Retrododo are slightly less bootlickers

>>9836473
Even though it is 3:2 as the GBA, the resolution is 10.5x of the GBA which is not integer scaled.

Same as the retards that told me to buy a iPad screen for a MisterFPGA because it is 4:3. If I want integer scale, there will be black spaces

>>9836495
The KTR1 is going to be the same. It's 3:2 but it will only be able to go up to a 6.75x scale if full screened. At high resolutions, it should look fine with some assistance from shaders though, right?

>>9836495
so basically he was complaining about the image not filling the entire screen or something? that seems bizarre considering he's had entire autistic monologues about the effect of turning integer scaling on and off in previous videos.

>>9836495
It fills the screen vertically but not horizontally, though, so that doesn't explain it.

>>9836495
>>9836551
We have to keep saying it but these guys don’t even play games and they’re starting to lose their knowledge of how to even set shit up because all of their time is pre-occupied as a glorified marketing agent. They spend their full time coordinating/shooting/editing videos, talking to vendors, getting “leaks,” etc.

Their original channels were likely born out of it being a hobby/having that level of knowledge, but now it’s become an income stream and they treat it like a job, and there’s plenty of people at a job who don’t really know what they’re doing but could fool you all the same.

>>9836558
does the video show him verifying that the core aspect ratio is actually set to 3:2? that kinda looks like it somehow got set to 4:3 but I'm not a tv doctor.

>>9835990
It’s been like this for months.

I put together lists of the PS2 and Gamecube games that ONLY have a compatibility of "Great" on T618 devices. So you can be certain these games will be perfect if you don't want to waste any time on anything imperfect.

T618 devices include: Anbernic 405m, RP3+, Retro Pocket Flip.

>>9836615
Because the word general isn't used. Look at the doom/retro FPS thread. They NEVER use the term general for that reason. That's why the anon whining about why the thread doesn't have the word general in it outed himself as a newfag. The last thread got lucky.

>>9836621
Yeah I always just say "Handheld thread" as my title and leave it at that.

>>9836618
Nice, thanks anon.

>>9836558
It is stretched vertically but not horizontal, some weird config but yes, the screen is not for retrofagging.

>>9836618
Thank you anon, for anyone else just keep in mind these “Greats” might involve about 20 settings/hacks toggled to get it to be playable. The community spreadsheets tend to be extremely optimistic, not that anyone on here is a stranger to configuring emulators but don’t assume Great means out of the box Great, or even anything approaching great.

>>9836610
Yeah, he tries manually putting it to Full and it's fine, but on PAR and Core Provided it isn't. It's also on Integer Scaling the whole time, so it shouldn't even fill the screen vertically, but it does (that could be that the black borders are so small that they don't show up on video). Retroarch just being Retroarch, probably.

>>9836657
Yeah, which sucks. Are there even any modern 4:3 monitors? I know there’s some 2:3 (I think) made for productivity which are also pretty damn expensive.

PREEZ UNDERSTAND !!!!!!

heard keepretro was shit but they shipped my order out less than 24 hours

so about those retro flip reviews

I'm in one-handed gaming heaven

>>9835898
I don't get it. You're complaining about a guy not doing free work because he doesn't want to do it, I don't see what the objection is except for the fact you want it done. It's not like that prevents anyone else from doing it. Shit is open source. This is the same complaint used to say AetherSX2 development being discontinued is petty. You can't expect people to do stuff they don't want to do or hate for free for your benefit.

>>9836003
You have to write in the support to support a device in an aftermarket OS. It's not like the functionality of the device hinges by default on aftermarket solutions working or you have a brick in your hands. You would be stuck in the same situation with Android too with regards to aftermarket options.

>>9836683
I mean, that would be fine given the settings and tweaks are all listed but they are not and there is no reason people testing can't list them especially when the sheet lists it. As a result, it's more wasted time you have to redo the testing to find the perfect settings on your own if you can't find out how to do it with a quick Google search.

>>9833408
I like using a 3ds
Gb/c emulation is a bit slow, I don't want to use gameyob because it saves after I close the game, something I forget to do often
Gba games run perfectly

>>9837431
No one cares faggot, if you want to have an autistic meltdown and go dilate in your programmer socks at least post the source code and fuck off, the morons like talreth/Stanzek who freak the fuck out, post fake quitting manifestos, trash their own code, seethe and have sperg meltdowns etc should be institutionalized and hold entire communities at hostage who are then forced to play court jester to make sure Chris Chan with a CS degree is having a good day and feels loved and doesn’t nuke his code

>>9837451
And yet I don't see monkey niggers like you doing anything about it via fixing the situation yourself or getting well adjusted non-mentally ill white male middle aged programmers to do it. Talk is cheap, and your lack of action is deafening.

>>9837460
Sure thing talreth, if you want to carebear for emulation devs having hourly emotional meltdowns fuck off to leddit, this whole I don’t see you doing better nigger excuse has never been a valid deflection, it’s the playground equivalent of I have an an invincibility shield you can’t do that

>>9837463
I'm not whatever your imaginary boogeyman is and thinking that is even the case makes you as mentally ill as the people you complain about. Even thinking not doing anything and complaining on a Mongolian basketweaving forum gives you any argument high ground or does anything but shit up these threads is laughable enough.

>>9834797
>>9837450
I love my 3DS but it kinda sucks as a dedicated emulation machine. It's a pain in the ass to install new roms compared to most other machines, and while the injects are nice you can't use any features like shaders, fast forward, rewind, scaling options, etc.
It's even worse specifically for GBA since you can't access the home menu nor use sleep mode, and the games have this really disgusting filter over them. You're better off just buying an actual SP or micro model.

>>9837743
Use FTP to transfer your games
Use open agb firm for less terrible scaling with GBA, or play 1x, it might look small but on a N3DS XL it is actually very slightly larger than the OG GBA screen so it should be fine
Use RetroArch for fast forward and shit
And yeah with GBA you don't have zoomer shit like save states but on the flip side it's not emulated but running natively on the hardware

>>9837431
I'm not complaining that he isn't doing work for free. I'm claiming that acting like a child and then withdrawing a product with the explicit, stated intention of spiting people who don't already like him, then getting an army of literal pronouns-in-the-bio trannies to simp for him is the kind of behaviour that will result in the collapse of society.
I don't want to put JELOS on anything, it generally has worse performance than stock Android.

Question for T618 chads:

What arcade setup do you use? Mame 2003, 2003 plus, 2010, 2016, Final Burn Neo? I can't really find performance comparisons or even general guidance other than older version is faster, newer version better emulation/more games. Anyone here running 2016 with no issues on something like an rp3+ or anbernig 405?

>>9836192
>puts $4-500 in worth of RAM and SSD upgrades as well as a dedicated GPU
where the fuck do you live for basic computer hardware to cost that fucking much

>>9833432
None of these devices are perfect but they really nailed the aesthetics with this one.

>>9837431
I don't care who he is or what he does, he's acting like an autistic child.

>>9838221
I like how it looks more than the rg35xx at least, and the transparent black color completely BTFOs any of anbernig's color offerings.

>>9838202
That's an excellent question and one I never really figured out the answer to before switching over to my Powkiddy A12 for arcade stuff. For Neo-Geo in particular I liked using Final Burn Neo since it had had some assignable multibutton macros in the Controls section.

>>9838453
Yeah, I also struggled to find the equivalent of a “major change log” between those versions of MAME that listed, for example, here’s all the games you can’t play on 03 you can on 10. I think I’m gonna try both final burn neo and MAME 2016 and see if anything is slow on both, if so I may need to drop down to 2010

/our guy/ is BACK with another retro emulation BEAST

>>9838543
Oh shit it’s the full thing, absolute beast incoming

Also you have to think this thing is a beta model for an OC’d version or something with that fan, I cannot imagine buying this run unless you’re thirsty for a clamshell

>>9838637

>>9835852
I hate ETA prime. Annoying voice, shitty production, clickbait titles, undeniably shamelessly a Chinese shill, never taxes the handhelds he gets only plays lightweight games that a fucking 2005 Motorola razr could play then proceeds to suck off the company and handheld

I know in the end, they are all shills but he is by far the worst.

this is retarded

>>9838830
i agree, miku fans are insufferable

>>9836478
They are not, they just pick the boots to lick.

>>9836569
This can't be overstated. The only exception i know is MLP, he hinted at us about ETA getting paid for reviews, he actually plays games and is a deep well of information about all kinds of games, and he despises most device that get sent to him. ;-)
I spent time online with MLP in the piracy days before arcade punk, he is a real sweet dude, sent a fellow pirate some money when he couldn't make rent. Took money when he was in a pickle and made sure to repay more than he got.

>>9838543
eta is notorious for accepting payment for favorable reviews
steer clear

kek

So the only upsides of the Flip are the analogue triggers? Seems pointless when most GameCube games don't run well on it anyway. I guess the fan is kind of nice, but the RP3+ didn't really have heat issues unless you left it running a PS2/GC/DC game for three hours straight.

>>9838965
>analog triggers
I'm interested for stuff like Crazy Taxi 2, Red Dog, etc on Dreamcast, but not at the expense of analog sticks, lighter weight, and imo a superior form-factor on the RP3+. I might spring for the RP4 with those triggers if it's more along the lines of the RP3. I don't know why it wouldn't be.

>>9838950
forgot to mention brother zhou is what they call the anbernic boss

>>9838912

This dude paints a bleak picture. Hinge doesn't open enough, shitty to hold, touch screen placement blows, fan is loud but not very good, not an upgrade to the RP3+ in any sense, sliders work but they're still sliders

Depends on what games you want to play, for something basic like NES, Genesis, or GBA there are other generic handhelds you can buy for cheaper like the M3S or AN08.

I tend to take these with a grain of salt, from my experience people seem to be overly critical with these handhelds including the good ones. It's always weird to me when they put fans in them, though

touching your screen is gross to begin with and you should be using the cursor for anything that requires it. this also should've been obvious the moment the design was revealed considering you hands are on a completely separate half of the device.

What the FUCK, there's no home button?
>Can't tell the difference in performance with the rp3+.

holy fucking shit redditors are literally braindead

not defending the flop btw if that wasn't obvious, the rp3+ looks way better.

>>9839342
I think the OP thought the fan was going to somehow allow the chip to run more ps2 games or something

>>9839316
They have been at FYE for a while (w/inflated price tag + different games) and you can find them at the Walmart checkout aisle nowadays. They usually go for like $15 on eBay so it's actually not that bad

>>9839349
Yes I think so, but... It's been said and repeated about a billion times to people inquiring about this that the rp3+ doesn't get hot enough to throttle performance to begin with. Also the fact he says "the difference" instead of "a difference" makes it sound like he's still under the impression a difference exists and he simply hasn't observed it yet.

>>9839359
the flop is just a beta for the flop 2 which I'm guessing will have a bigger chip that might actually necessitate active cooling, but the flop is an abomination lmao I cannot imagine buying this fucking thing.

>>9839364
It's weird to me that the fan is simultaneously loud yet still doesn't blow much air if he's to be believed. He also says it still gets warm, so it basically fails at everything kek. I was at least thinking that if they were gonna put a fan on a fucking t618, it would at least be inaudible and result in zero warmth.

>>9839370
I wonder if it's loud from the frequency it spins at or something? Like coil whine but for a fan? Or maybe they didn't lubricate it properly? It's hilarious I'm just morbidly curious at why the fan is so fucked

>>9839342
They legitimately think adding a fan will somehow draw new potential out of the same chip in the 3+
New form factor means more power, of course

>>9836456
I hope custom firmware is created but I don't see anyone talking about this thing on le reddit discords

>>9839372
Yeah it has to be something stupid like that if it's not even really pushing air. ETA said it has a "whine to it" in performance mode so that lines up.

>>9839397
3 cents worth of grease isn't in our budget, prease understand

>>9839378
The processor was already discovered. I don't remember what its called, but its revealed to be a clone. Data frog also got the guys who created the firmware make an ad dump to someone who asked.

I'm not a fan of the flop but I don't know why everyone did such a hard 180 on the watermelon color after we got non-render pics. The more transparent appearance in the renders was better, but it still looks sexy af to me and easily the best of the color options. If that was an option for the RP3+ I probably would've went for that. I feel like everyone shitting on it has ruined my chances of being able to get that color on the RP4.

The screen is aids though, one of these days I need to try a screen mod.

sometimes I look at or hold my deck and think "holy FUCK why are you so fucking massive" and other times think "oh this actually isn't that big". not sure what that's about DESU.

>>9839672
Is that controller any good? Smartphones seem like the best way to emulate ds games.

>>9834797
Screen is bad and DS and GBA don't scale well on it.
Controls don't feel good to use, and it doesn't feel comfy to hold.
I really wanted to like it, but none of the versions I tried felt good to me.
I loved my DS though. Kinda tempted to get a DSi XL, but I doubt I'd use it enough.

>>9840350
Different poster, but the flydigi wee2t feels much better for ds than the ipega 9087s. Both have worse input lag than usual since they're Bluetooth and their chips worse than 7th gen and up console controllers. But their fine if you'll use them for drastic only. Both will also feel cheap and there's a chance the ribbon cable will break with repeat use if your phone's too big. The flydigi can also be used for gyro aiming in games like metroid hunters, but I don't see the appeal. Also, there's an actual use-c vertical controller, but it only has two buttons and covers half the phone since it's meant for gb.

>>9840361
There are tons of various homebrew scalers for DS and GBA, have you tried any of those?
DSi XL wouldn't play GBA games, except through GBARunner, which is fine for a few games, but glitchy for most.

>>9840563
I never liked the feel of vita. It feels more premium in a way that makes it feel worse in hand, I have a hard time explaining it.

Like the heavy ass frame and glass front panel is nice but if you get anxiety holding it because if you like drop it on your desk it'll fucking explode. Meanwhile a PSP is just some plastic fucking toy but like a plastic fucking toy I can throw it at a wall and it still looks and works like new.

>>9840639
>There are tons of various homebrew scalers for DS and GBA
NTA but where can I read more about this? hacked my 3DS a while back due to the eShop closing

>>9840760
Use TWpatcher for DS scaling modes. Maybe I'm retarded but it took me ages to figure out how it works so I'll tell you. TWpatcher is a .CIA or .3DSX or whatever the fuck, so in other words a homebrew app for 3DS. You install it like any other, start it up, and select the options you want. I suggest either Linear Sharp 1 or GPU scaling (that one is a separate toggle in the options menu). I think GPU scaling looks the best although retards complain it's blurry. Once you set your options you push start or select I don't remember, then TWpatcher takes like 5 minutes to patch the DS back compat firmware on your 3DS with the filter (make sure your 3DS is fucking charged). After that, any DS homebrew or actual DS cart that you start up will use the filter.

As for GBA, there's a project called open agb firm, it's a reverse engineering of Nintendo's own back compat firmware with a ton of improvements. You can just put rom files on your SD for example, no need to VC inject anymore. Make sure you download the latest build from gbatemp that is marked with green (not the one from GitHub). Read the read me for shortcuts like screen brightness. To change scaling filter you need to edit some options file on your SD card. Option 0 is no scaling, 1 is bilinear, 2 is an improved version of the built in one. Use either 1 or 2.

>>9840786
very nice, thank you for the detailed post!

>>9840805
No problem

>>9840635
There's also another controller for cheap called the m1/daqi m100 with a worse analog deadzones and more latency. The weet2 has 50-63ms and daqi is 90-115

>Speaks not on front

Worst part is, Powkiddy will feel no reason to update the v90 since this doesn't threaten them. Best they'll do is release another successor to the x18

>sometimes I look at or hold my deck and think "holy FUCK why are you so fucking massive" and other times think "oh this actually isn't that big". not sure what that's about DESU.
probably because while in physical size it is indeed pretty huge, it's surprisingly light and the ergonomics are actually pretty good so it's also pretty comfortable to hold

>>9840639
I've tried TWPatcher for DS and didn't like it. I'll try the scalers recommended in >>9840786 to see if that makes more of a difference though.
Hadn't bothered with OPEN_AGB_FIRM since I didn't like the results I saw with TWPatch, but I might give it a shot.
>DSi XL wouldn't play GBA games
Yeah, it'd be just for DS stuff if I got one, so I'm not sure how much use I'd get out of it. I have my old GBA I've considered ITA modding for GBA games, but haven't gotten around to that for the same reason.

the duality of chinks.

yup. a good ips is fine though and a lot cheaper.

new flop slop just dropped
[YouTube] Retroid Pocket Flip Unboxing & First Impressions | Retro | Android | Emulation

at the timestamp he mentions the texture of the plastic actually feels more similar to the plastic on transparent RP3s than the non-transparent models, which DESU if you never had one of the transparent models is actually a big fucking deal imo. eta of course made no mention of the texture on his watermelon unit because his scarred BEASTly mitts cannot feel much of anything.

Do I
>Buy a steam deck
>Buy a retroid pocket
>Just keep my 35xx and pay for a little grip thingy

I want to consoom but I'm not sure what I would actually be gaining by doing that, other than more power. If the RP3+ was a saner price I would just go for it but by the time you get it into the UK its close to $200 for a device that can't even do PS2 properly.

Whereas the Steam Deck has power out the ass but is fuck huge and more expensive too. It's got a big screen though which would be nice for using it as a media device in bed

35xx is cheap, I already have it and its cute and really fun but its not very comfortable for games that require you to use lots of shoulder buttons and the screen is a bit small for some games

Or should I just buy a fucking laptop and be done with it? Why is the Hedonic treadmill so strong bros?

>>9842043
My opinion is that everyone should have a Deck regardless of what other smaller handheld they have as a companion. I love my RP3+, but since it sounds like not being able to play PS2 on it is a big deal to you, I'd just spring for the Deck now and call it a day. It'll essentially fill the role of a laptop anyways.

>>9842059
A deck might be a pretty powerful portable computer but a 7" 800p screen and a 14" 1080p screen for media and work stuff is no contest, the deck doesn't have any I/O either and has no keyboard etc.

A 5th gen Ryzen laptop is cheaper used than the Deck is new too.
I know that 5th gen Ryzen mobile can do PS2 at 720p consistently and 1080p in lighter stuff
But the Deck is cooler and is better for muh videogames.

>>9842069
Of course if you want the laptop more then you should go for that, that was just my take based on what you've said. If you're going to need to use it for work, then yeah, definitely get the laptop. If it's really just for play, then PERSONALLY I'd go for the Deck due to the handheld formfactor.

>>9842039
It looks like a plastic mockup of a console, it looks so cheap lmao

>>9842076
I'm leaning towards the laptop because I want to watch stuff on whatever I get too, and a laptop is obviously better for that, but the deck is cool, but is that a good enough reason to buy it when there's nothing in particular it does I can't do already? I think I'm just going to wait about a week and see if the lost for new plastic crap fades

ktwarriors... have we been tricked after all...?

>>9842102
No you fucking retard.

>>9842059
Having two devices for this seem like an overkill frfr.
>>9842101
Do you really, really need a laptop? Those two devices are oriented for different things even if it's a gaming laptop so you should weight-in which would be better for you. A laptop is a bad idea for coomsooming media in bed or outside the house but it also includes a vast pc game library excluding emulation.
So far the only decent alternatives to the Deck are the GPD Win 4 and that Asus device so you could wait for those too.

>>9842101
I'm lowkey considering getting rid of my laptop. I just use my deck hooked up to the screen nowadays.

>>9842039
I'm still rocking RP2+. If those sliders are as bad as RP2+ are then consider them unusable.

>>9842258
I really like the size and shape of the Win 4, and the Asus sounds like it's going to be a great value, but I just can't accept d-pad on bottom.

>>9842264
Yeah I have a newish laptop I haven't touched in well over a year, and barely used it even before getting my Deck. Feels bad man, I need to start getting rid of shit.

Is there a stepup to the Miyoo Mini in terms of games and price? Something that can do gamecube, DS and etc without being overly expensive.

>>9842337
retroid pocket 3+ not the flip version is the most well designed bang for your buck there

What went wrong bros? Why did we lose the war?

>>9842258
Did you mean the deck is bad for consuming media or that the deck is?

I just want something that's good for watching stuff and for playing games that doesn't require me sitting at a desk, I'm not sure what the hell to get, I thought about a tablet with a controller but trying to find a worthwhile android tablet is a nightmare, so laptop or deck it is.

Is there a non terrible way to watch stuff on the deck that doesn't require me to be in desktop mode all the time?

muh build quality.

>>9838798

>>9842693

>>9842693
The self-scratching buttons also look kinda gross. I can sorta understand, just BARELY, why they seem to be having issues with the screen. It barely has any bezel, it's running right up to the top and bottom edges of the device, and it's their first time using this screen. But why the FUCK are they having issues with these buttons that are the exact same size as literally every face button on every device they've ever made? Is it just because they made them glossy, which btw is an ugly choice anyways? Either way it's baffling.

Debloated two LG LTE premiers to run retroarch and epsxe. Also have a debloated zte, lg stylo 5, and a samsungbA03s. Can emulate up to psp,ds, and few ps2, and gamecube games.

>the deblooter is back

>>9842778
I love my debloated phones. <3

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 the stock 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 apps 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 you're 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 with usb and fire up the universal android after installing it on windows or linux or whatever.

You will notice a tab that says 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.

>>9842785
Depending on the phone, using a custom rom or custom debloat made for your phone/Jxd hansheld is the better option. That way, you get to use kernal auditer to edit your cpu mode. Reduces input lag that way, even with usb. I used to think usb-c gave none until I played rhythm games.

oh god i'm gonna... i-i'm gonna... DEBLOOOOOOOOOOOT

how am i supposed buy this at MSRP if i either have to wait 2 months(and by then something better at a similar price will be out) or pay more than fucking double to have it delivered in reasonable time
and that's the ESTIMATED taxes, i've talked to some people who live here and a couple of them had to pay double than the estimated, which means i'd have to pay a total of 135 eur for a 52 eur console, wtf

>>9843545

So, Ive had my RG35XX for a few days and I can say I'm glad I didn't brought anything smaller, because it makes it uncomfortable to play. It actually needs to be a little bit larger. I'm gonna map the buttons a = to h, b = to y.

I mean, it's on a limited promotional price but the regular product at 20 some euros is basically the epiptomy of ewaste products?

then explain why 5 out of 6 people from here(spain) i talked to who ordered from their site had to pay 30+ eur of import taxes on top of the 20+ shipping

>>9844072
This "import tax" is VAT. Import taxes are usually on goods to protect local markets. For example, EU has import tax on meat products from certain countries to protect against price dumping, this is then added on top of VAT.
VAT should be handled by Aliexpress transparently now.

Don't cheap out, buy once cry once

Factor in the 15 or so euro you are going to pay for someone to make a grip and better shoulder buttons for it as well because if you're anything like me the 35xx is going to be right on the border of discomfort a lot of the time if you're playing anything more complex than GBA, its too small for extended play requiring the shoulder buttons, I wish I had bought the 351v or something instead.

>>9844108
You probably forgot to set up some setting, it should be full speed if you do it properly (on a new 3DS of course, not the original)

>>9844240
It's pretty decent for Saturn and Dreamcast, but you'll still have to use frameskip for a lot of titles and a few won't run fullspeed even with it on.

Thanks, but I’ll let someone else beta test it and deal with scraping buttons, screens falling out, etc that comes with a new chink handheld

>>9844074
it's not VAT, cause VAT in spain is currently at 5.5%, and new laws made it so it can't be higher than 10%
that means that on a 52 Eur product, like the RG35XX, it's less than 3 Eur, or a maximum of 5.20 Eur
And even if it was 20% as it was before the recent changes, that'd still be 10.40 Eur.
Way less than the over 30 Eur they had to pay.

Now tell me again it's VAT.

>>9844562
Edit since not all the colors on the bottom translated.

>>9844158
Only idiots preorder. Is that really so hard to understand?

>>9844591
I stand corrected then. It's not VAT.

the audio on my RG353P suddenly stopped working(both speaker and headphone jack), using JELOS, anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

>>9846353
Reset firmware to see if it's hardware or software.
If it's hardware, check the connection from speaker to the mainboard.
Also check the headphone port.

>>9844562
I received the rg405m a few days ago and my impression of the dpad/stick placement is that yes the dpad is uncomfortable down there, but I imagine the stick would be uncomfortable down there as well. Which leads to the question of why they did this in the first place - I think it's because they prioritized putting the stick in the more comfortable place. And so this means this device is intended more for 3D games rather than 2D games.

the retroid pocket flip is bad innit

About This Project

Once I was looking for a handheld that I want, but unfortunately, the machines on the market, either the performance too bad, or the screen was too small, or the machine was too big and not portable, and also no system specially designed for handhelds, no online play, no social. And need complicated settings before play. So, I decided to make one that i want, a perfect handheld to me and others people that love play games.

>>9847586
If nothing else, I respect Nil for saying "fuck it, I'll do it myself"

>>9847409
>Pliers
>Didn't use a file or dremel
Was the angle so bad that it required a chunk?

>>9846641
>Reset firmware to see if it's hardware or software.
yeah reflashing JELOS did the trick, knew it was a software problem(as the sound was working on the Android side), slightly annoying I had to do that though since it meant I had to fix my settings in JELOS all over again, thankfully game saves are kept on the card that has all my games on it so I didn't lose those

>>9847498
>A CHINKtroller plus Sneedput lag, the device.

>youtube has been reccomended me modded 3ds videos
It's it worth it?

>>9847741
of course not.

>>9847741
Do you like 3ds, ds, and gba (No save states) games? Assuming you already have one, go for it. Don't bother unless you can find one in decent condition for cheap.

>>9847741
At current prices no, once prices settle down, for 3ds games? Yes, the 3ds has a great library

>>9847747
>the 3ds has a great library

Why are none of these Chinese companies stapling controllers to tablets yet?

I would kill for something with a 10 inch screen that runs android and had hardware controls built in. All I want is a device that can handle up to PSX and can give me a not awful tv and movie experience

>>9847752
They have before, but mostly no name companies so they release every 5 years. Jxd was the most notable, but they’re dead.

>>9847752
Best i can offer is a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7+ playing GB on that high res oled screen with a nice shader.

>>9847752
powkiddy made a couple 7" screen devices. I imagine they're shit, but they did do it.

>>9833408
My iPhone with a Backbone. In RetroArch and Dolphin.

I want to get my niece one of these so she can play Pokemon. I'd load 50 games at most onto it. How cheap can I go for something a 8-9 year old can play GBA and below pokemon games on, with some SNES stuff thrown in?

>>9847767
Which ones?

>>9847793
Depending on if you can wait a while, you can probably get a PowKiddy V90 for about $30.

>>9847793
35xx, plays GBA and SNES perfectly and is always in stock
Budget another 5-10 bucks for a non shit SD card
Install MinUI or GarlicOS, stock image is fucking garbage

I've played through 4 GBA games and 3 SNES games on mine on MinUI, no complaints other than it being a bit hard to deal with with adult sized hands

>>9847795
The Powkiddy X12, X16, X17, x19, x21, and x70 that I know of. They're actually still selling the x17 and x70.

>>9847793
Miyoo Mini+ or the RG35XX are the perfect gba machines.

>>9847793
Didn’t know uncle anon browses /vr/

i put unreal tournament and quake 3 arena dreamcast roms on my 405m. what a mistake.
what the actual fuck is wrong with console fags attempting to play FPS like this? these games should've reviewed as 0/10 for their control scheme.

the dreamcast controller only had one analog stick...

>>9847954
from my recollection both games supported using a Dreamcast compatible Mouse & Keyboard, probably a way to mimic that in an emulator so you can use both sticks on the 405M

>>9847751
>t.Vita warrior fanatic

For some reason, emulating games on a handheld seems like a better experience than emulating on PC or home console.

>>9847954
You were supposed to use m&k like >>9847969 said, but left analog as aim and the 4 facebuttons as WASD worked okay after I got used to it.

>>9847929

>>9848234
BASED uncle anon, but Pokemon/GBA/SNES is sounding pretty normalfag tbqh.

>>9848339
Pokemon is her obsession at the moment. SNES is my favorite console. I'll gateway her to the good shit I promise anon

>all that empty space and yet the RP Flip REMOVES the home button

>>9848457
seriously what in the every loving fuck did they mean by that

Dare I? The 35xx seems like such a downgrade in comaprison.

>>9848476
$150 for a rk3566 seems like a massive ripoff at this point imo.

>>9848020
I agree, my PC files always feel like a mess, emulators scattered everywhere, rom folders scattered everywhere, buried within multiple hard drives.
But on this android device with a 256gb microsd, and setup with Daijisho it's all so neat and accessible, I'll always know where things are.

>>9848551
You know emulator frontends like that exist for PC too, right? You can make it just as neat on PC if you really want to.

>>9848489
I'm shitposting, really. More interested in determining what's better between RP3+ and Anbernics alternatives like the RG552.

>>9839672

>>9847793
Id reccomend thr v90, but to many gba games rub like shit and if adults dont do the safe shutdoen sometimes, im not sure how an 8 year old could.

don't forget
>start and select on the bottom
>speaker on the back

>>9848652
>start and select on the bottom
Better than the RP3's placement at least.

>>9848656
it's still strange to me considering all the empty space in the middle. but i agree.

>>9848352
Make her play the spinoffs. You can ease her into snes better that way.
>>9847793
That said, I cant say I reccomend the v90, but she'd like the clamshell formfactor, but to many gba games rub like shit and if adults dont do the safe shutdoen sometimes, im not sure how an 8 year old could.

>>9848658
Weird they didn’t go with this layout

>>9836456
>>9836468
I'm tempted to get one of these for the price for SNES games, according to Taki it can barely run SNES, but from my experience with these lower end devices it probably won't really bother me. I'm used to lag and stuttering, and honestly the screen tearing has never been a serious issue for me. Mainly just want it to play pic related and some other low end (non-chip) SNES games on the go

>>9849213
There is talk of patching the firmware with an older version of Snex9x to improve performance, so it may improve. But at the moment it's pretty bad. Also a lot of the ROMs don't even work, although you can build your own romlists now.

>>9848476
It depends on what you're trying to emulate. If you like the vertical form factor, 353VS is slightly cheaper than 353V with I think less RAM or something, 351V is an earlier model but still more powerful than 35XX. The 35XX if you still want should be good for everything up to PS1 at least. There's also Miyoo Mini Plus and PowKiddy's RGB20S. Honestly there is nothing wrong with picking up a few low end handhelds here and there as well. I have a bunch of these at this point, most of them can't go beyond SNES and GBA and two are straight of Famiclones, but it gets the job done for a quick retro gaming fix, and they do look neat on a shelf when displayed on a shelf. Original Game Boy wasn't really that complex anyway lol

Hi, I am new. Reading this threads seems like those 3 are the top 3 most recommended emulators

Miyoo-mini+
Retroid Pocket 3+
RG35XX

Is this correct?

Literally the only reason why people don't love it more is because of the stupid memory sticks.

>>9847793
Maybe only load around 10 games on it to start. There comes a point where people see too many options and end up picking none.

>>9849769
He said the build quality felt like the cheaper Powkiddy devices fucking KEK. I think it's pretty obvious he doesn't like the thing. That said I'm hoping the consumer units have much softer pads for the d-pad and face buttons if they're as tough as Russ makes them sound. Lei says the pads on the units sent out were modified Anbernic pads while the ones in the production units are going to be completely original ones.

>>9849801
????

>>9847763
>No headphone jack
>No SD card slot
Unacceptable. Tempted to get a tablet though, Lenovo make some very interesting ones and there's a Galaxy A8 on sale for about 150 near me

>>9849613
>>9849769
>Russ didn't like the build quality and buttons
inb4 Nil delays it for another 6 months now

>>9849854
It has headphone jack with a dongle, costs 10€ from Apple or Samsung.
It has a SD-Card slot, i run it with a 1TB Sandisk, which shouldn't work as the manual says 256GB max, but it does work fine.

The only problem i have is that it doesn't really fit in my pockets ;-)

Emulation and the screen and advanced shaders are superb. Not sure what the screen is, but it's far more than 1080p, i can't even see single pixels. Also it's 11 or 12".

>>9849879
I could unironically see him delaying launch next week because of this kek although honestly it's hard to believe he was going to make the deadline for shipping this month anyways

>>9849881
>With a dongle
The coward's solution, mSD slot does make it more appealing though.

Aren't Android tablets kind of shitty? Like the software experience, this thing isn't getting updates for much longer either right?

>>9849914
I don't know, get their newest modes and you get 5 or 7 years. I think i have two left, after that comes LineageOS.
The software works great, the destop mode and all that, it's cool. But i don't use it.
I use it to game and watch movies in bed.

odin fangirls SEETHING over based nil refusing to accept the limitations of his device

>>9850190
KTSisters…our response?

Someone needs to stage an intervention for Sonic Love, cunt's wearing fingerless gloves in his recent videos he's going to freeze to death in his freezing bonghovel surrounded by mountains of mid plastic

>>9849914
If you're just using a tablet as a retro game machine you don't need the OS update treadmill. Just make sure your emulators are up to date and you're good to go

>>9850305
The toxic fumes coming off of all the Chinese plastic is destroying his mind. Just a few days ago he was confusing his RG505 for his RP3+.

>>9850349
kek, that chemical stink you get when you first open an aliexpress bag. Reminds me of when my chainsmoker aunt would send me christmas gifts and I'd get a cig burst when I first opened the box.

One nice thing about a 16:9 screen on the RP3+ is that it lets you place touch buttons around the game which can fix some of the issues with the button placements. I really like having that Power button too, have it set to quit Retroarch and go back to Daijisho while also autosaving so you can jump back into your game anytime. Can't do that with the home button.

>>9850376
are you me I was just playing AW1 on the plane on an rp3+, also against olaf

>>9850383
Seeing the Reboot Camp made me itch to go back and play it with actual good pixel art.

>>9850393
100% the soul vs soulless meme and I rarely unironically use that, what the fuck were they thinking, just keeping the old graphics and maybe upscaling them for modern resolutions and leaving it alone would have been better. Is it meant to bait art zoomers into making fan art or something? There must be some sort of malicious intent.

>here's your premium metal handheld gweilo

>>9850419
kek is this anber-"build quality over retroid"-nig

>>9850439
It's the 405m, yes.

Gotta say, I'm a bit disappointed with Russ' KT-R1 review. He seemed to spend a lot of time focusing on things that he knew would be changed in retail units (like the build quality) and some of the things he was complaining about were his fault (like the Home button closing Retroarch, he could have just turned that feature off in Daijisho). He even brought up the not having a wifi antenna installed thing. Even the circular stick input thing is apparently because of an outdated gamepad tester (although that one is on Nil, he installed it).
But he barely mentioned anything at all about how the screen worked for scaling and filtering. No filters, no shaders, no mention of integer overscale for 240p systems, nothing. He spent more time setting up shaders for the 405m than for the device he was actually reviewing. Bizarre.

>>9833578
just sit further away ya dingus

>>9850462
>He spent more time setting up shaders for the 405m than for the device he was actually reviewing
KEK that's actually true. I don't know why, but I just sorta got the impression he didn't want to the like the handheld to begin with. Nothing really wrong with that I suppose, at the end of the day these are all dumb chinese toys. I also found it kind of baffling that the review was 45 minutes long, but he didn't speak about the general ergonomics the entire time.

>>9850331
>>9850160
Fine, you've convinced me, now convince me this thing is worth spending twice as much second hand as a lenovo tablet is new

>>9850497
Maybe he was sick of people hyping it and just wanted to get the review over and done with. He didn't even get his callipers out.
Hopefully he'll give it another go when the retail units ship this month. Or next month. Or sometime this year.

Why do you guys give so much of a shit about this one particular handheld? You are going to play the same 10 GBA and PSX games on it as you do on all the rest of them anyway

>>9850520
No I'm nor. I'm going to play the *one* game I always play, which is sorting out the artwork for my massive rom library, configuring shaders and scaling for every system so they look just right, and then never playing anything.

>>9850519
That was definitely part of it, he even mentioned near the end that he thought too many people were putting the device on a pedastal.

>>9850520

>>9850546
You will play Castlevania: SOTN, the two GBA Metroid games, the 3 main SNES games, some Jarpig on PS1, and some random middleware game from your childhood in an endless recurrence of low power ARM handhelds and forum posts

>>9850507
Oh I'm not the samsung anon, was just talking about tablets in general. I'd go for the lenovo since you're mainly playing PS1 and below

>>9850549
i havent played any of those

>>9850552
Heresy
The GBA metroid and Castlevania games are legitimately some of the best games ever made, certainly the top of their genre anyway

I lost my RG35XX and my saves werent backed up. Do I just have to cope and replay my RPGs again?

>>9850560
you sneed also

>>9850558
Not only is that not true but the "genre" is fucking ASS. Actionvania is waaaaaaay more kino and bespoke.

>>9850545
You didn't even add in hunting down translations, speed/color/arcade restoration/etc. romhacks, trying to get artwork for those, and then never playing those either you casual

>>9850545
This is a joke right, you do actually play the games?

I've put in at least 25 hours on my 35xx in the two weeks I've had it, played more on it in the last fortnight than I have on my PC this year

>>9850608
It's a joke. I will do all that, sure, but then I'll load up NHL 96 and play that continuously, while changing the CRT shader every period.

>>9850602

You're a goddamn moron, OP.

on an android phone, if im using a usb to hdmi to video out, will retroarch recognize it as two screens, and only have the control overlay on the phone screen?
