>>9879075
Not sure this beats the RG353VS.
Does it?

>>9879483
this fag is so proud of his fag buttons he has to post them every thread

>>9879491
And i will continue to do so, as long as i fee fabulous about them.

>>9879486
Honestly if you don't mind the d-pad placement, aspect ratio, and don't need something "pocketable" I'd say this completely and utterly BTFOs the 353 devices aside from the 503 and m. Of course I'm just going off of specs and video footage, maybe the tradeoff is it explodes in your hands after a week of usage.

>>9879478
I don't know how I didn't realize that, but you're right. Same position on my Vitas and I never even thought about it there. I guess the issue with the placement on the Odin is due to the shape and size difference.

The flip is cool but I’m not sure where it fits in. I might get rid of one of these. Too much overlap

A lot of NES games actually aged way better than I thought, yeah yeah zoom zoom etc I just didn’t bother to emulate them much until I got a chink handheld, playing the punisher right now it’s a lot of fun.

>>9879096
I blame the faggot that was complaining the unfinished plastic grey didn't look like the metal grey render. Really bizarre expectation to have if you're ordering plastic but w/e. The finished plastic grey looked really good imo, but I think that comment spooked Nil into worrying about people giving him shit for their plastic device not looking metal. I feel bad for everyone that wanted a darker or more muted color since Nil suddenly decided he hates blacks kek.

Do you think you're actually going to change? Or just wait until batch 2?

>*mogs the thread*
>*refuses to elaborate*
>*leaves*

>>9879527
This is just my gay faggot opinion, but I'd keep the Flip since it's the only one that can do Saturn and Dreamcast well. I really like the 353m, but if you're really attached to the hardware emulation or screen of the Analogue, I'd sell the 353m. Otherwise I'd sell the Analogue.

>>9879580
That looks like stretched garbage

>>9879595
It's not stretched, it's proper widescreen, retard.

even his titles are whiny.

i have a retroid pocket 2 with android

what should i do with it ?

>>9879578
With the news that the white has a black bezel and not the strangely brown one, I think that's what I'm going to go with.

>>9879601
Gonna cry

>>9879580
I hate to break it to you but I think your screen is broken. That left side is just nuts.

>>9879614
I think the black bezel will help it a lot, honestly. If you ask me, he should use the black d-pad and shoulder buttons to match it along with the black analog sticks. But w/e, I'm not the guy pulling an entire assembly line of handhelds out of my ass so not my call to make.

>>9879625
I agree, but at least he's going to make replacement buttons available so I might mod it later.

Doesn’t the KTR have bad build quality per “Russ”

I stopped watching him last year when he sperged out about the Retroid Pocket 3 suddenly for no reason after doing promotion for them, and nobody else shared is complaints anyway.

It's okay to be jealous.

Does the controller have a headphone jack yes/no?

I've been watching a lot of shit on my phone lately (David Lynch hates me), thinking about picking one of these controllers up too

>>9879794
I thought "n" would be clear but
The answer is no

>>9879612
Doesn't look like they sell the upgrade kits to convert it to a 2+ anymore, so all you can really do to get a little more performance out of it is throw LineageOS on it.

>>9879527
i would only keep whitey

>>9879527
the flip2 looks so fucking ugly
at least make the hinge span the width instead of looking like a door hinge

>>9880009

i get that we have to shill every toaster device that gets announced here or be called a faggot but tablets and phones are literally not even playing the same game, much less same ballpark


miles ahead in every way
unless you consider the steamdeck "portable"
then i have a "portable" desktop pc that beats it kek

>>9880024
This. Just use a 3 years old AMOLED Samsung, permanently attached to a GameSir. Congrats you've just BTFOd every chinkheld in existence.

>>9880024
Steam Deck isn't that big.

>>9880043
final step for you is to use a retrobit saturn pad
or better yet, have a collection of usb controllers for each type of system

>nes\pc engine\pc engine cd etc
>sega genesis
>saturn
>n64 (raphnet)
>dreamcast (raphnet\brooks)
etc

i build my console\controller collection over time
now i hate using the wrong types of controllers

my final form = 13" tablet and 256gb microsd
with magnet mounts
my lunchbreaks are awesome

>>9880051
Do you use any retro arch bezels for 4:3 systems with that? Been trying to figure out a solution as I hate the black bars

>>9880048
i think the switch is too big though
i dont like bringing it to work or traveling with it
the 3ds era was v sly imo anon
you could get stealth matches off quick (10 min and done)

the switch is more ubiquitous than 3ds but
its v obv what is happening, esp if more than 2 are out
im a grown man, i dont want strangers knowing im battling pokemon

>>9880059
>>9880059
no but i do like fiddling with shaders on a per-game basis
i dont mind the black bars as my tablet already has a fat black bezel anyway
when gaming in a dark car with the dashmount they are not visible

i would gladly take bars over stretched image even under lit conditions though


>PIC NOT RELATED WHATSOEVER
i told an anon last thread that i would post my
"pokemon center ny inspired rebuild"
i had flipped my original gblight and missed it

>>9880048
its pretty big anon.

>>9880076

v nice


hope youre still lurking anonkun

>>9880081
grow up pokelard.

>>9880076
Yeah I don’t want to stretch, I use the mega bezels on the tv and really enjoy those (well, the darker ones like Zombs at least).

i understand you are joking
but with the glowfeds software and uninstallable bloatware\shillbots
we honestly arent that far off
and we still will be forced to upgrade annually or be left behind

retrobit, 8bitdo, xbox, nintendo, sony, etc
you can use ANY proper controller or
even a fucking arcade stick

why choose some random shitmon as a controller?

They're called emojis. Pashitdroid shill

i get the feeling you guys are no longer talking about handhelds...

>>9880292
Other phones having holes in the screen does not make your hole better. You have a hole in your screen, and you are defending having a hole in your screen. There are other choices, you just made the conscious choice to buy almost all of a screen. I will not stop posting. Verification not required.

>>9880365
Notches are great in iphones tho. Its literally only a problem for pashitdroid since nuggle has monkeys working on thier os

I decided. White it is. Well, beige.

>>9880392
yuuup, definitely looks better with the black bezel. I wonder if we're still on tracking for shipping to start on the 15th

>>9880391
Cult mentality. You get part of something cut off and go 'see, it looks better now.'

>>9880396

but i suggest checking reviews on the 14 island
it actually features embedded its not "missing screen"
its a floating widget

He's got ten days to get the shells manufactured and then assemble 1,000 systems by hand. It might be by the 15th, but not this month.

If you don't want people pointing out there's a hole in your screen, don't post pictures of your phone with a hole in the screen saying how great it is for games. This is a thread about retro handhelds, so please stay on topic and stop posting pictures of defective phone screens.

True. But this is Nil. The second someone complains 'why didn't my order ship' he'll delay everyone's to ship at the same time.
On a side note, I really wish I hadn't made that photoshop of the Game Boy styled one, because now I wish it were a real thing. Might torture myself some more and make a full on Amiga style mockup.

>>9880443
Reminds me of my RP3+ color. Red + black buttons is truly a peak aesthetic combination.

>>9880424

I've owned one of each generation of Nintendo handhelds with a hinge and each one was shit
I'm not going to fool myself into thinking these particular brand of chinese plastic are any better.

>that Dissidia PSP
I've seen this pic many times before but now I've got to say it looks neat.
I remember being a teen playing the FF III remake on DS and thinking a Final Fantasy fighting game would be the coolest shit ever. I almost bought a PSP too for it before I saw the gameplay. It seemed confusing to say the least, so I put it off.
I kind of regretted it later on since it seemed like the perfect device to emulate GBA and SNES games portably at the time and I bought all those remakes and ports for the DS like an idiot.

>>9880518
as a standalone emulation machine it will come up short even compared to modern "budget" handhelds

solid form-factor and dpad though
i use mine for psp games only
3ds = anything that was on the eshop
analogue pocket = everything else

im still in the market for a nice ps2\ps1\dreamcast\saturn\n64 machine
but so far nothing beats my current tablet for that stuff

Had my mini plus for a week or two. Still very impressed with it as my first third part portable game system or whatever people call these things. Playing colour hacks of original gameboy titles has proved to be a lot of fun.

>>9880479
It would be a vanity item for me, but owning a Dissidia PSP or Crisis Core PSP is on my bucket list.

>>9880574
we both have the autism
the vita is perfectly fine for psp kek

Phantasy Star Online is so fucking comfy on Steam Deck. It's almost like a dream, being able to play it on the go.

>>9880591

seems comically large\heavy kek

>>9879793
C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!

>>9879483
Any good windows handhelds? I was looking at a Win600 for a while because of that D-pad, but everything I heard about it seemed to imply it sucked

>>9880597
It is ridculously huge yeah, but on the plus side it means the screen isnt too small.
Plus it weighs less than it appears in both hands. If anything it weighing more would've made for a great workout tool.

Redpill me on wonderswan games. Didn’t they have like an official homebrew thing going on? Are there ludokinosexo le gems from that?

>>9880758
flashmasta is prob still the cheapest way
the homebrew scene seems more active on the lynx

there are a few decent games for the system
but i dont think its worth it for most people
esp if you start getting into lcd mods and battery stuff


i grabbed one because i thought they were neat
the color lcd is better than the stock gbc
and has a tint\control wheel
in person it looks great

>>9879741

>>9879483
Is this a famiclone handheld?

>>9880782
I’m talking strictly emulation I don’t need any more plastic shit in the house desu

What's the best way to get rid of older retro handhelds? I've got quite a few now and want to sell some of my older ones like the RG280V and the RP2+ but worry about it going to some dumb kid or facebook mom who won't know how to use it.

>>9879493
nice pube bro.

>>9880870
Literally pre-load them with games and just sell them off.
It's basically shovelware.
There's new ones all the time.

>>9879527
I absolutely hate my analogue pocket but I don't wanna sell it since it's so hard to obtain

>>9881030
It’s definitely the most “unique” of the emulator handhelds. It would be the last one I’d get rid of if I had to sell all of mine off

>>9881030
I felt the same way about selling my Miyoo Mini. I kinda regret selling it now that the original has become rare.

>>9881034
Yeah. The screen, low latency and overall quality is pretty fantastic. I hate the ergonomics though. Shit's fucking unplayable.

>>9879483
Where do you get these custom buttons?

>>9880207

>>9880870

>>9881221

>>9881224
Nah, emulating pc and android games on ios so you don't have to give money to pashitdroid is peak Reincarsovl

>>9881037
I sold my v2 miyoo mini for $180 when I realized I enjoyed looking at it far more than playing it

I really wanna get the 353ps but I'm a tight ass and poor as fuck

>>9881246
Emulating on Android is soulless in a worthless junkie that will eventually overdose way
Emulating on iOS is soulless in a vapid investment banker that will enventually neck himself with the exhaust fumes of his Porsche way

>>9880841
Are you?

>>9881030
What do you hate about it? Seems to be a fine device with a great screen.

>>9881098
Ordered in Japan, imported to Germany. Cost was 15€ in Yen, 50€ when they finally ended up in my letter box, since i used a service in Japan the shipping.
Kind of stupid if you consider the RG35XX cost about the same, but at least it looks nifty.

>>9881306
>I really wanna get the 353ps
I would too, but it's the same 3.5" screen, which i think should be a thing of the past.

>>9881306
Well, what do you have now? The RG353ps doesn't bring anything new to the table, nothing i can identifiy as a must have.

>>9881371
I only have a v90 lol it's great for what it is but I want a comfy real handheld. held off on rg35xx cause vertical so 353ps is pretty much perfect for me. I have 2 old GBAs that I might try and sell since I don't even touch them anymore, and should be able to make the money for 353ps.

>>9881378
Yeah, sell all your old shit, if you can.
BTW, if you think $100 or so is a lot of money, you should consider getting the money situation sorted before consuming plastic crap.
I could write a lot, but basically, get a job, save enough money for three month expenses and put it into a separate bank account, open a investment account and buy world index, say 20% of every paycheck. Never buy anything on credit, ever.
You can thank me later.

Except superhuman AI is on the verge of being invented

>>9881367
what if I emulate on both?

I have an RG351P I bought quite some time ago but I barely use it because I have the habit of doing this with handhelds I don't find all that comfortable, like the O3DS.
Any decent budget (~100€) handheld these days that can be considered ergonomic? I remember liking the idea of either grabbing the RGB10 Max 2 or the RG353P because of the form factor being at least more serviceable than just a brick, but I imagine those aren't great anymore.

>>9881528
>RG353P
RG353VS

>>9881580
>RG353VS
Vertical ones never really felt all that comfortable to me, I don't know.

Anyone have an issue with plastic buttons scratching against metal casing? Considering using graphite.

https://youtu.be/UQzZajYWe2k

Is the RG353PS or Powkiddy X55 worth getting for DS/PSP/Dreamcast/N64/Saturn emulation or should I just save up and look elsewhere?

>>9881630
The former will struggle with some N64 games, the later should run smoothly.

>>9881635
Don't they have the same chip?

>>9879595
>this is who you're engaging with when you post in these threads
It quite obviously is not stretched and has a widescreen patch, mongoloid.

I kind of don’t play on TVs anymore which is weird. I have all my games between two chink handhelds now and it’s easiest to just pick them up and play. Controls definitely suffer in some games though but for the most part idgaf I’m not some esports fag.

Ok, besides the Razer Kishi v1 and its successor (whatever the fuck it's called that it's not being sold in europe), any other telescope gamepads with a membrane dpad that are decent? I have a fairly decent phone that can handle more stuff with a super amoled screen and I'm looking to save some money here.
I'm not planning to use a clip (which I already have for a SN30 Pro 2) because it's honestly not that comfortable to use. Very ergonomic on the gamepad side but it's top heavy as shit.

Managed to nab a Miyoo Mini Plus off the official Miyoo store lads.

>>9881629
>Long sleeves and gloves
Why?

>>9881681
>telescopic

>>9881718
I just don't see any handhelds currently worth buying. Maybe my expectations were too high and I thought at this point, with so many handhelds popping up some shit would go down in price, but it seems what's considered budget stuff still struggles with n64 or PSP emulation.

>>9881681
Backbone when its on sale, gamesir for 5th gen and below, some chink controller called n100. you can also check if you can import the v2 on ebay?
>>9881664
>Using a widescreen patch, ruining the comfy notch astestics

>>9881793
Are any of those non-clicky? I was looking for the razer kishi v1 because it didn't have one of those handheld/xbox type gamepads with dome switches. I think the gamesir does have a clicky dpad.

>>9881630
Saturn and Dreamcast is fucking ass on the rk3566 unfortunately, I don't know about the others.

i’ve had my miyoo plus for about a month and am already using it more consistently than any of the three other retro handhelds i’ve tried. i do wish it were a little larger - like an extra half inch width would help my large hames - but the vertical layout just feels right for someone who grew up with the old gameboy. i’ve been using horizontal by default since the gba and never realized how much i prefer the other orientation.

>>9881810
Saturn is somewhat ass on handhelds in general. Beetle needs too much juice despite having the best compatibility, Yaba Sanshiro 2 pro will run most games but has a lot of graphical glitching and you have to tinker hard for some games

Apparently the Gameforce 2 has a rk3588 in it, which would be really cool except it doesn't FUCKING matter thanks to the wrong d-pad placement. RUINED

my kid just dropped my miyoo mini+ like 2 or 3 feet onto carpet and the screen shot out what the fuck

>>9881970
kneel before chang manufacturing superiority.

why the hell is Chang only selling these as portable monitors? Why cant I just get a normal monitor, somewhere between 22-24" since no one makes fucking 4:3 anymore?

>>9882769
how could this happen

I got JELOS re-installed to my RG353P after UnofficialOS was too fucking slow to boot.

JELOS defaults to the Retroarch hotkey being Select (8) every time I relaunch it, I want it to be the function key (10) since that's the whole point of that key.
After changing "Hotkey Enable" to 10, I've tried stuff like saving the global configuration file from Main Menu, but it's not sticking.
Might it be that the emulation station frontend is forcing the hotkey to reset every time it loads Retroarch?

This previously worked on UnofficialOS and it's annoying.

>>9880229
I have one, it's the perfect size and aspect ratio for PS1 games and earlier. There are plenty more versatile and powerful handhelds but it's the perfect every day carry for retro games.

>>9880003
Where did you get the game mat?

>>9883012
Managed to find my answer.
Under the frontend's system settings, you need to disable a "autoconfigure retroarch hotkeys" option.
Being able to configure those hotkeys from the frontend would be nice.

Testing out this firmware though, the boot time is far better and it seems like the sleep bug is finally fixed, not certain yet though.

I also saw that Anbernic is releasing a refresh of the RG353P very soon, the RG353PS? I'll need to check that out, but it seems to be a weaker spec and cheaper price to reflect that.

>I also saw that Anbernic is releasing a refresh of the RG353P very soon, the RG353PS? I'll need to check that out, but it seems to be a weaker spec and cheaper price to reflect that.
from my recollection it drops being able to dual boot into Android and also ditches the touch screen(since the Linux side can't make use of it for some reason)

>>9883490
The RG353PS is a budget version of the P. No touchscreen, no android, 1GB of RAM. Still the same chip and form factor for a more affordable price. Its direct competitor would be the Powkiddy X55 which is similar in price, but with 2GB of RAM and a big screen (however the form factor is different and I'm not sure about build quality, but I have an RG351P and it's not like Anbernic gives me a reason to choose their products based on build quality).

OP here, i got the RG35xx and it's fun and surely a great buy for a first handheld, but i want something slightly larger. As the RG405 has the stick on the top i was looking at the RG505. Is there any reason not to get it? Price would be 160€.

>>9883851
personally I'd recommend the RG353P(though everything I say more or less applies to the other 353 series devices* as the internal specs are basically the same across all of them), being able to dual boot between Linux and Android is very handy in my opinion(Android has better performance for Saturn, N64, Dreamcast, and PSP and can take advantage of the RG353P's touch screen for DS usage, while Linux has the advantage of the various Custom Firmwares made for it like JELOS that mean less tinkering around to get right into playing the systems that don't need the extra power or touch screen support Android has) and while it's a bit less powerful then the RG505 I think it has more than enough for the price

also while not probably the most important thing but I do think it's worth bringing up that the 505 doesn't have video out capability while the 353 family of devices do(through a Mini-HDMI port) as that adds a good bit of extra versatility to the devices

*aside from the 353VS and 353PS both dropping Android support and the touch screen(and also less RAM) so that both can be a fair bit cheaper than their full featured predecessors the 353V and 353P

>>9883880
>RG353P
It seems the RG505 has the better CPU and screen.

Well, it's done, bought it for 160€.

>>9883806
I never use the touchscreen or Android side of the device, so that would actually be pretty good for me but the 1GB of RAM hurts it.
I won't need it since it's a downgrade to the RG353P I already have, and it just became my favourite device now that the sleep mode bug was finally fixed.

Nil has given a shipping update for the KTR1, but he still thinks he's going to start shipping on the 8th. That's tomorrow. I would humbly suggest that is a very optimistic date considering he hasn't actually finished any units.

>>9880229
I hate the fucking sharp corner on the left hand side. The 351v does that shit too and it’s annoying to hold. I get that it’s a nostalgia thing with the original gameboy but come the fuck on.

Having multiple handhelds is hell. I own:
>a hacked psp
>a hacked vita 2000
>a hacked n2ds
>a hacked Switch
>a RG353p

I like them all and they all excel at something but part of me just wishes to have a handheld that can do everything while still being comfy to use. They all have to have at least one flaw.

>a hacked psp
It's old and can't properly emulate SNES and GBA.

>a hacked vita 2000
Somehow it STILL can't properly emulate SNES and GBA. SNES lags slightly behind. Noticeable if you're used to the music of the games you play and play them back to back while on youtube or other console.

>a hacked n2ds
Screen fucking sucks and it's pretty uncomfortable to hold. PS1 sucks.

>a hacked Switch
Too big to be a handheld. Can't emulate PS1 properly but somehow it's good for Saturn.

>a RG353p
Can't emulate Saturn and Dreamcast properly but at least it does the worthwhile games well. Screen isn't the best for GBA and Wonderswan.

It's just sad that hackers aren't interested in improving the Vita's GBA and SNES emulation capacities, it'd be the perfect handheld retro emulator.

>>9884376
I'm in a similar situation to you, I'm still searching for the perfect handheld but I haven't found it yet. For the time being I'm sticking with the N3DS.

>>9883880
Not him, but I just bought a 64 GB RG353V for 110€ on AliExpress and it will arrive soon. I don't give a fuck about fancy interfaces nor scanning my rom folders (I tend to use romhacks), but I want to get the best possible performance out of the device. The idea of Linux CFWs looks interesting, but is there any benefit to using one over the other (e.g. ArkOS, JELOS, etc)? Does Android really provide better performance for the systems you mentioned? Can you keep the dual OS boot after installing a CFW?

>>9880276
well that was the gayest response to something i've read so far this morning

>>9884376
>Vita
>PSP
Vita supersedes PSP because lol Adrenaline.

>>9884386
Yes. Boot the device while the SD card with the other CFW is out. JELOS pretty much just works, no need to mess around too much with it.

>>9884395
Some of the better PSP emulators like snes9xtylme don't work on Adrenaline.
>This version is for all PSP models, It uses Media Engine for sound emulation and is faster than s9xTYLcm. It is not compatible with PSVita.

>>9884376
>It's just sad that hackers aren't interested in improving the Vita's GBA and SNES emulation capacities, it'd be the perfect handheld retro emulator.
Yeah I was disappointed how they just ported psp emulators or retroarch cores and called it quits mostly. Only ones that got updates after 2016 are mGBA and pSNES.

>>9884418
That's because tyl me is optimized to use the psp hardware while his cm version is just a port running in a psp emulator. No one should be using adrenaline for emulation anyway in 2023, since ARK-4 and bubble managers are better

>>9880024

>>9881371
>What do you hate about it? Seems to be a fine device with a great screen.
I mentioned elsewhere in the thread, but the ergonomics are terrible. It's beautiful to look at, and awful to play. Can't stand playing it for 15 minutes without getting massive hand cramps.

>>9883851
If I were you I’d wait for the next powkiddy release.

>>9883931
Looks cool, most people chose the retroid handheld, why did you get this?

>>9884568
This is what I was going to say earlier, but it sounds like he already ordered the 505. The 505 wasn't bad at all when I had one tbf, I just ended up preferring the Retroid.

>>9884560
Isn't it more or less like all the other RG351 verticals? What is different with this one?

>>9884570
Seems more or less the same as the RP3+ in terms of hardware, except larger screen with less pixel.
I got this one because it was the only one on my list available on short notice in Germany.

>>9884568
When does it come to market and what will it cost? Do we have any reviews yet?

>>9884582
I think 180$
https://youtu.be/KUcgpNCbsB0

>>9884582
It's available for purchase for $142 free shipping if you use the code "retrogamecorps" at checkout of the official Powkiddy site. I'm sure there are so coupons you can use on their aliexpress store as well. The video the other anon posted is the closest we have to a review, but he seems to like it. Retro Tech Dad and RGC should be getting their units for review soon if they haven't already received them. Some German reviewer also received his unit yesterday.

>>9884590
You may be thinking of the rg405m with the same chip, that's $177 iirc with $14 shipping.

>>9884550
Yeah it's the same RK3566, the powkiddy has 2GB of RAM instead of 1. I was tempted by that and the screen size, but I don't know about ergonomics and I do hate the loud clicky buttons. It's a bit difficult to choose.

>>9884607
Pretty sure the ergonomics are a safe bet at least considering how much praise that aspect has gotten. That and, well, just look at it. Of course that's gonna be comfortable.

russbros... I'm starting to think the "shill" accusers are right...

>>9884615
It's good that it has handles, I just like handhelds as rounded as they can get. I'm one of those people who don't give a shit about them being pocketable, just nice to hold for long periods of time. At least it's not the RG351P I have which is gathering dust because I just do not find it comfortable (but the d-pad and buttons I find just fine). The screen is the huge draw for me, I think I couldn't get used to small ones anymore. What I don't know is what the 2GB of RAM are for given there's no lagdroid there.

>>9884624
Honestly I don't care how "good" the sliders are, I hate that method of control. I hate it even more when he says they have a lot of resistance, fuck those things. I'd rather have the inaccurate shitty drifting switch sticks like the ones on my RG351P (one aims slightly up, one slightly down the exact same distance)

>>9884635
Yep. I don't doubt people saying they're the best sliders ever made, but they're still sliders. In my mind that means they still suck.

>>9884624
When the RP3 was released he did a lot of damage control back then.

What do RK3326 handhelds struggle with that RK3566 ones don't?

>>9884624
the shill question can be debated until they have an actual partnered discount code with the seller.
Then it's set in stone, you're watching an ad

>>9884649
3566 runs N64, Saturn, Dreamcast, and PSP better.

>>9884624
JUST What initially made my eyebrows shoot off of my fucking head is when he claimed the angle the screen stops at is the perfect angle to play games at. Aside from virtually everyone else complaining about that angle, it simply looks like it'd be terrible.

>>9884624
After watching his review on it, I think the screen getting in the way of the shoulder buttons put me off of it.

>>9884649
You can actually apply things like runahead, more demanding shaders, and more demanding settings like "Nuked YM2612" audio driver for Megadrive without slowdown. rk3326 also still had some edge-case issues with PS1 that were ironed out with the additional rk3566 power.

>>9884657
>>9884672
Damn, I might bite then.
>rk3326 also still had some edge-case issues with PS1
I do recall having issues with Legend of Legaia having a really sluggish intro and battles no matter the settings or the emulator. I wonder if it fixes those.

Sounds like it's a waiting game until the RP4 and/or RG405M successor is announced. Please god aylt least let one of them have top symmetrical sticks.

>>9884667
He's also the only person who said the screen doesn't bother him when pressing down on the shoulder buttons. Almost every other review I've watched mentioned that it does get in the way.

>>9884376
>RG353P Screen isn't the best for GBA and Wonderswan.
Whilst it's not as ideal as the RG351P's unique 480x320 screen, you can still get a reasonably good picture by using the "Interpolation / Sharp-Bilinear-2x-Prescale" filter.
Although a 3x-prescale would be slightly better, bilinear downscaling 720 width down to 640 looks better than upscaling 480 width up to 640.

>>9884670
I have a flip and the screen isn’t in the way for me. I imagine it’s only an issue if you have fat American fingers. It has really grown on me in the week I’ve had it

>>9884579
I've never used other vertical handhelds, besides a GBA SP. It's a bit like that. I couldn't stand it either.

Funny enough, GBCs are fine to play for me. Must be the rounded back.

>>9881970

>>9884690
yeah that's a bit sus tbqh. I also found his mental gymnastics that the flop feels like a gaming device and all other android devices feel like phones/tablets massively retarded.


Also why the FUCK does the audio sound so much worse here than on the RP3+? For that matter, why does the Odin sound so much worse here than the RP3+?

Are you guys done claiming anyone is “our guy?” None of them have the balls to call these manufacturers out, it’s either emulation BEAST or 7/10 it’s ok, nothing ever more critical than that. It’s videoslop. “Russ” is constantly in discords shilling his fucking videos so he’s probably in this thread samefagging saying oh he’s not that bad, bros is he OUR GUY etc etc

>>9884985
>Are you guys done claiming anyone is “our guy?”
dodo is definitely /our guy/.

>>9884985
Dodo did shit on Anbernic for a few videos in a row. Claimed he got blacklisted by them because of it, but who's to say.

>>9884937
That sound test was pretty accurate though. The Flip's speakers are on the bottom, so they're going to sound muffled as fuck when sitting on a table. And I don't think the Odin was ever praised for having good speakers in the first place.

>>9884985
You're my guy.

>>9884961
Maybe he's getting paid because he's partners and has a discount code for purchase
Fuck you Russ, you shill faggot

KTR Warriors are still mad that /our guy/ Russ from Retro Game Corps tells it like it is and popped their hype bubble.

Is this the guy that starts every second sentence with "And so"?
Annoys me bigly.

>>9884396
I'll give them all a shot, thanks. I imagine Linux-based CFWs consume less battery than Android 11?

>>9884937
>>9885037
Both Odin Pro and Lite have the same speakers, but the Pro sounds better due to better frequency response tuned by Qualcomm themselves.

>>9885113
Russ got a model that doesn't resemble the final's build quality (something that he should know and yet did not point out on his video) and didn't even bother to properly config the emulators to get proper performance (which even Nil pointed out on his Discord), on top of doing dumb shit like showcasing Sega Saturn with the old ass Yaba Sanshiro RA core over standalone and still using Redream over the superior Flycast.

Honestly, Nil should have kept his review ban, not send any WIP units, stop overpromising stuff and keep focusing on his own things instead of catering to idiots over his Discord. I think it was a bad idea to allow reviews of an unfinished product that might not represent the final one.

>>9885127
Who, really?

just got my powkiddy q90. cheap, but neat. I wanted something small to play pokemons & SNES stuff in bed. My actual GBA is not backlit, and DS is a bit annoying with the two screens. Man, when I was single I'd just whip the laptop out. Married life changes you, bros...

Just use the default sharp bilinear shader or sharp bilinear simple. It automatically does the prescale to one times greater than needed, then downscales. If that shader isn't available for some reason, the Normal4x filter and bilinear filtering on has the same effect.

Any good GC/PS2 rom packs?

Where do I go to find info about the best romhacks/translations/patches to old games? I mean there's romhacking but I wonder if someone compiled a list of worthy ones or something.

How Steam decides what games work and dont work on Steam Deck is weird. They said Sonic Adventure 1 DX isnt supported and yet it boots up perfectly nowadays.

Using an Everdrive Mini on my GBA. Replaced Goomba with Jagoomba to fix MGS's elevator freeze, but now GBC games are giving me the "This game can't run on Game Boy" error message. Tried Pokemon Crystal too. No problem with regular GB games. Any idea what might be causing this issue? I was under the impression that Jagoomba would work fine for both so long as I had 2 copies of the file, one labeled gb.gba and one labled gbc.gba, which I have done.

Dear RK2023 anon
I've been messing around with this thing for a few weeks, and I'm happy you recommended this thing to me. It's worth the $68

I was so excited for this RG35XX custom d-pad I designed

Oh well

>>9886057
Nope. Rattle is a meme that isn't noticeable when you're using it

>>9885925

>>9885867
What are you emulating? If it's getting that hot, it should be something that a chinkheld can't even run. Also, if you use a clamp controller, you're not going to touch the phone and you're not going to feel that. You're not using touch controls, are you...?

Are there any retro handhelds with Playstation buttons instead of the abxy buttons? Or is just buying a PSP or Vita a better bet?

Why would you need that
I also grew up with PSX but I just mentally substitute the buttons, like the game tutorial will tell me to press Y to shid and piss, but I'll just remember it like "ah right, I need to shid and piss here, that's the triangle button"

>>9886319
I've seen people mod Vita buttons onto some handhelds like the RP3/3+

>>9880048
The Switch is too big. The Steam Deck is just ridiculous.

>>9886345
>The Steam Deck is just ridiculous.
Try holding one in real life. It's really comfortable and the screen is huge.

Heat comes from the processor, only thing debloating would help with is play services since that chews through the battery.

>>9886107
Even emulating gba games could produce heat depending on the kernel. My stylo produces almost none, while my g7 did before rooting it and adding in a heatsink. (Someone removed it)

boys I'm looking to make a custom handheld
my inspiration is "steamdeck DS" with the goal of it basically being the last emulation handheld you'll ever need. Pocketable steamdeck with better PPI Switch OLED tier main screen

How can they have the best dpad if their dpads are not clicky? Fuck your mushy shit.

>>9886681

Apply that to yourself, clicky dpads are fucking terrible for anything that requires some proper motion. I've had an xbone pad and ended up using the analog more for 2D based games. It's basically the "we know we screwed up with the 360 controller but we don't know how to make a gamepad so let's just put some dome switches in there since most people just use it for inventory shit". Might as well put face buttons in there at that point.

>Try to find SNES controller shaped handhelds

It's a manual process for them. Unsupported means Valve hasn't gotten to it yet and it's a roll of the dice you're going to take once you launch the title. Chances are though that someone else in the community already tried with Proton, the compatibility layer, and have reported good things about it hence why ProtonDB is a thing which is community driven and concerns using the compatibility layer in other contexts like with other Linux systems.

>>9885743

Plays every single sonic game with the exception of unleashed (unless Xenia or rpcs3 get better on it in the future)
And yes 06 is included, I played it from start to finish on Xenia but needed to dual boot windows because some stages were fucked through proton

>>9886654
I vote no to sliders/rockers

>>9887667
well the Ally is $700 and the Orange Pi is $215, therefore the pie wins in reality they're both SHIT because they have the d-pad in the wrong location. cant play my steam shmups like this

Imagine being this booty blasted by an alpha male, pathetic

Holy fuck I got a ton of advertisements today for this stuff and figured I should ask the faggots on 4chan about them first.

I had no clue you guys have a fucking GENERAL about these! I imagine they are scams or else I'd buy 5 of them:

https://www.pikencvg.online/products/2game-console-emulator

Thats the sort of stuff I'm seeing but don't think is real. Anyway, is a $20 handheld really going to have 40,000 games on it that actually work and aren't in Romanian? If you have a link to one that would actually work (preferably one with HDMI-out) please link it and I'll order 3 today.

Also, I'm completely retarded so ease of use is a necessity. The thing should be made for complete lobotomized radiation victims.

>>9887857
Discord is for pedos, trannies and other godless people.

>>9887901

You could say that, sure. You are wrong however, in stating that only irreligious people are able to be pedos or trannies. Either way, regardless, Telegram and Mumble are surely better, as is Signal.

99% sure it's a scam. https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/soterice.online

What consoles do you want to play? If you really want an RG353V, here's a good sale: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005005179130759.html

Is the switch lite shitty enough to avoid for around 100€?

>>9887781
yeah that one is almost definitely a scam, as for what we do recommend that's probably at least a little dependent on what systems you think you'll want to play and how much you're willing to spend

>>9888007
You can't jailbreak a Switch Lite unless you have a modchip and Nintendo already sent a guy to prison and garnished 25-30% of his wages for life.

>>9888058
Isn't the chip like 3 bucks though? I guess the complicated part would be soldering it.

>IT ARRIVED

>>9888062
The transparent shell looks a lot better IRL then on camera too. IDK why it doesn't show up well on camera.

>>9888070
probably the flash, take a pic in good lighting without flash

>>9887990
I might just get that for myself tonight. I've bought a lot of things on Ali-Express.... mainly LEGOs though.

Will that thing already have the games pre-loaded in Enlish? Do I need to be able to take the SD card out to load more ROMs?

Also.... one thing I'd like to do is to buy a few to give to friends for Christmas. A $30 one would be more in my Christmas budget.

>>9888013
I'm an oldfag. I got a Nintendo at Highland Appliance on release day. I used to use Nesticle and ZSNes. Would be nice having a system that could play a good round of Street Fighter with friends (and maybe N64 Ocarina of course).

i'll check them out

>>9888062
I'm not a fan of sliders or the general form factor, but I love that transparent red. I'd love for that to be an option for the RP4, but faggots overreacting to the real shell not being as transparent as the render probably ruined any chance of that.

aaaa why the fuck do I want the x55 if I don't even use my current chinkheld

>>9888090
>I might just get that for myself tonight. I've bought a lot of things on Ali-Express.... mainly LEGOs though.
I suggested that because the sale is pretty good and the shipping is fast&free within Europe. Hope they don't make you pay extra cash for importing fees, though.

But yeah, AliExpress is generally a good place to buy for chink consoles from anywhere. Again, you only want to play up to N64/Dreamcast/DS?

>Will that thing already have the games pre-loaded in English?
The one I linked? Doubt it; you add whatever you want to play. It's pretty easy though.

>Do I need to be able to take the SD card out to load more ROMs?
Yeah, you take the microSD out or connect the machine to your PC with an USB-C.

>A $30 one would be more in my Christmas budget.
Try checking the ones at >>9887784 ? $30 is pretty low budget though, don't think you could even properly use Snes9x with that.

>Would be nice having a system that could play a good round of Street Fighter with friends (and maybe N64 Ocarina of course).
Sounds like you want a home console instead, maybe?

>>9888134
kek same.

fellow rk2023 anon, it's not just me that thinks these speakers are kind of absurd for a $67 chinkheld, right? I swear I can feel the audio shaking my bones once I go above 70 volume.

>>9888090
>Also.... one thing I'd like to do is to buy a few to give to friends for Christmas. A $30 one would be more in my Christmas budget.
FC3000 is decent in that budget. V90 too if you're willing to spend a little bit more, although setup is a bit more of a pain since CFW is basically mandatory on that. Neither are going to play near as many games as the more expensive handhelds, but they're ok for a few systems.

>>9888137
Some of these consoles support multiplayer nia a controller usb port. But some cheaper ones can have compatibility issues.

>>9888058
>for life
Actually, its not literally for life; its a certain amount that must be paid in due time.

>>9888164
>v90
Oh fuck I always hated the SP design. Maybe it's because I loved the Advanced and the SP seemed like a huge step back to me.

>FC3000
This actually looks great. Can plug into the TV (though not through HDMI) and has a 2nd controller that can plug into it?

>>9888137
>home console
Well, really the idea would be for a group of us to take then on a cruise and be able to play together. Some of these friends I've had since.... well pic related days.

>spreadsheet
Holy Mother of God that is amazing. Holy crap.

Well, guess I should make some ROM folders on my PC so I can load the same games on each system i might pickup for next Christmas/cruise. I'm guessing that the Emulators are at least already on each handheld?

>>9888187
It might as well be, unless he wins the lottery, a felon is never going to make the millions necessary to pay it back.

>>9888205
Yeah, Nintendo did him dirty for sure. However, unlike some people, this is not an absolute no-reservations time for going all blackpill or "LET IT ROT!". There are things that cannot be fully achieved without sacrifice.

>>9879527
whats in the bottom right?

>>9888267
RG353M

>>9880392
what handheld is this?

>>9888278
nice, that was my guess. thats what im prob going to get

353ps or 35xx? i normally just go for the cheaper, is 35xx comfy enough?

>>9888202
Q90 and Q20 mini have the same parts as a V90 in a different shell, so those might be worth checking out too.

I haven't heard a lot of people talk about how good the FC3000 controller is, and it's kinda limited in what systems it'll run, but might be worth a shot. Build quality seems pretty good for what it is though compared to a lot of the other super cheap devices.

Worth mentioning since you talked about playing together that a lot of these, especially the cheap ones, don't really have netplay, although some have HDMI out and support Bluetooth controllers.

Emulators and some ROMs are usually already on each handheld. You're better off throwing a set of the ROMs that you actually want on them though. For a lot of these, there's custom firmware that you'd want to install for more emulators and better performance too, but that's generally a pretty easy process.

>>9888339
35XX should be fine if you don't care about the extra performance and/or want something more portable.
I think it's probably worth the extra money for the 353PS though.

>>9888314
KT-R1.

Clamshells are the white man's form factor.

>>9888062
What's the appeal of putting android on these?

man the rk2023 looks so bad but for the price its much more appealing than 353ps

With how much chinks acutally like clamshells, you'd think they make more. Even the v90 sold well over there.

>>9888695
That's just Powkiddy in a nutshell.

>>9888710
The Miyoo Flip will be the next big thing if they manage to actually release it.

>>9888695
there's also the x55 to keep in mind now since it got it's price cut

>>9888354
Holy goddamnitfuck that Q90 is absolutely perfect for my Christmas/Cruise gifts. That's $40 right now and I won't even need to order them for 6 months.

I'll probably find an Anberic for myself first though and start building a ROM library. Holy fuck I still have an old CD with about 2500 old ROMs and emulators on it.

Shit I'm so happy right now. Thank you all. Time to just make sure I can play some Ocarina while my wife hogs the TV.

More emulation options. More hardware options. Better optimization for the high end emulators. Doubles as a mini tablet. Etc.

>>9888846
if you want an actual answer some systems emulate way better on android than on "linux". those being n64 and ds mainly

How do justify paying $200< when you can just buy controller for your phone for the same or less price and have better support?
Genuinely curious, I kinda want a chinkheld to play old games but it's seems a hit or miss with compatibility, battery or build quality issues.

>>9888732
>16:9
shan't

>>9880003
Whats the point of this device when it cant even play roms? Imagine paying 30-100€ for a fucking gameboy games instead lf just using roms

Can't believe they didn't fix the shitty D-pad on the 353PS

>>9881195
>NO! YOU CAN'T EMULATE OLD GAMES ON YOUR ARM DEVICE! YOU HAVE TO EMULATE THEM ON... errr...an...an ARM Chinkboy...

>>9889032
You will never understand, povertyslav bro

>>9889107
Yeah, i dont understand the need to hoard plastic toys when you could store them digitally

>>9888963
Let's see:
-More adequate screens for these games, since most phones nowadays are ultrawide (phone screens only good for DS games horizontally, since vertically you have to deal with bluetooth controllers)
-An unified frontend where nothing gets in the way and all emulators are in the same place without much of a setup (you can even change settings from this frontend)
-Separate device so there's no need to worry about the battery on your phone
-No need to put your phone into a clip or inside a telescopic controller everytime you want to play something or take it out after
-Not top heavy and uncomfortable like using phone clips
-Often handhelds are designed with the correct layout and buttons for retro games instead of focusing on mobile gaming with better analogs but a crappy dpad seen in your average telescopic controller

>>9889107
You're a retarded cuckold that prefers to pay for inconvenience.

>>9889118
No

>>9889196
At least show me a good telescopic controller

>>9889196
Dpad in wrong position, its a piece of shit

>>9889196
Can you answer a question about this? I keep asking people but no one ever seems to know and I'm curious. What do you do if you get a phone call? Do you try and extricate the phone from the controller before they hang up, do you answer and then ask them to hang on while you take the controller off, or do you just hold the whole thing up to your ear?

Alright phone controller advocates, what's the best app that replaces your average chinkheld emulator frontend like emuelec and has a simple setup, none of that dig bullshit

>>9889253
Trick question, we never get phone calls

>>9889253
Phone call? What decade is this?

>>9889226
It's the best, retard.
>>9889239
Actually it's the best dpad I've ever used.

>>9889286
>Actually it's the best dpad I've ever used.
So the only one?

>>9889118
>More adequate screens for these games
If you have an OLED screen then the blacks just look like part of the bezel so it always looks like the correct aspect ratio, especially at nighttime. My phone can also scale SNES games (which are 256x224) without looking like arse, which can be taken a step further if you apply a CRT shader afterwards; when a Chinkboy hasn't the pixel real estate to accomplish proper scaling nor shaders, I'd argue that my phone's screen is much more adequate for playing retro games.
>An unified frontend
If I should ignore that your argument is automatically invalid by virtue of being ESL, then I put forth, good sir, that it takes 1 second to click on Retroarch
>no need to worry about the battery on your phone
The Chinkboy itself has a battery and a much smaller one than your phone's anyway
>xxxxx everytime you want to play something or take it out after
Good point
>crappy dpad seen in your average telescopic controller
Then buy a controller that works for you

>>9879696
>>*DING* every 20 seconds
I only get a notification every several days, since nobody messages me outside work

>>9889287
Okay, what's a better one?

>>9889293
>then I put forth, good sir, that it takes 1 second to click on Retroarch
Retroarch has a very shitty frontend by itself and half the good emulators on android are standalone with their own quirks. There's a reason why that's not what chinkhelds use as a frontend, even when all the platforms cheaper handhelds run are basically platforms with cores in RA.
>The Chinkboy itself has a battery and a much smaller one than your phone's anyway
And when the chinkboy battery dies, the phone one still works, it's amazing
>Then buy a controller that works for you
There's no telescopic controller with an adequate dpad in the right place to begin with and again, the clip thing really sucks some dick. I have one for my Pro 2, very adjustable. It's even plugged in wired with a very small usb-c to usb-c cable for convenience, and yet I'd rather pick my RG351P for games which is vastly inferior in terms of performance to my current phone.

>>9889293
At least post a good example >>9879741

>>9889316
But the Sonic CD example doesn't have shaders

>>9889319
Because it's full screen with sharp bilinear scaling
Here's a shader

>>9889310
Anything you can get on chink shit like the miyoo mini

>>9880870
Give them to poor kids

>>9889329

>>9880870
Give it to me

how is the rg35xx hdmi output? does it put shit in correct aspect ratio yet? I remember watching a review when it first came out and it was all stretched

>>9888963
I justify it by not being dirt poor and being able to buy stuff I want.

>>9889032
Don't be disingenuous anon. The pocket can indeed play roms since months ago and fir more than just gb too
