To be honest, i hope this turns into a shit show.

NTA, but PC gaming went to shit when people gladly gave into the Steam cuckoldry, paying real money for or limited digital downloads that require a software suite that phones home every so often to make sure they are being heckin wholesome good boys.

reddit alert, weeooo weeeooo

Are most reviews paid shills?
I've seen many reviews of the rg35xx saying it's pretty mediocre and others praising it.
Most people that didn't like also hailed the miyoo mini +

Sirs, this is a handheld thread.

>>9931151
and good games were still around long after Steam (prior to 2012). not as many, but still. i suggest Sacred 2. you're welcome.

>>9931154
>Are most reviews paid shills?
Sadly yes, my man, they are. The only one that i know does not take money from Chang is MLP.

>>9931157
Never could get into Sacred 2 after playing it both on PC and console. Not sure why, either.

>>9931160
i want to call you a fag with bad taste but i can kind of get why it wouldn't stick if you aren't in the right mood for it. don't play it like diablo, treat it like an ambient experience and just soak in the world.

How long until we get a Retroid (or other decent quality device in the $100-150 range) that handle full speed PS2 or at least the entire Gamecube library at full speed? Are there any low-priced SoCs out or on the horizon that could be used in such a device?

Regardless of some of the hype out there, there is actually a large gap between what the RP3+/Flip is actually capable of and being able play the entire PS2 or GC library at full speed.

picrel: I preferred the staggered thumbstick layout of the RP2 over the RP3/Flip layout, though hall sensor sticks with R3/L3 and analog triggers are nice improvements

>>9931163
Yeah, I enjoyed what little I played of Sacred Gold, but 2 just did not seem fun to me in comparison. I should probably give it another shot. Just began reinstalling 2 to see if I can get into it this time around.

>>9931143
this nig gets it. pc has become a dead platform in my eyes.

>>9931154
Yes, including but not limited to “Russ” and all the queers on here that call him

>>9931196

>>9930847

Frankly I can't talk badly about phone gaming because I know of one really good phone game that I play a bit of every night. Kek.

>>9931178
I bought a gay little APU mini pc and use that for all my pc gaming since nothing worth playing requires any serious GPU horsepower these days. The newest game I play on it is TF2. It’s great honestly, small and sips electricity and no heat.

>>9931181
I mean I'd be willing to pay more than the $150 mark but another issue is that the "handheld" devices that are significantly more powerful also tend to be larger and heavier. As far as handheld emulation devices go, the RP3 and especially RP2 have great form factors. Hopefully hall sensor thumbsticks and analog triggers (you can use them for analog acceleration/breaking even in some PS1 games) become standard on all Retroid devices from now on.

>>9931180
That dude gets free handhelds and unique discount codes, making the cross pollination obvious as could be, and redditors still see him as their nice gay uncle they can trust

>>9931207
The RG506 with a D1200 is probably coming out later this year, and that chip can cover almost every PS2 game from what I've seen. iirc it's going to come with a 5" OLED 1080p screen, so probably around the size of an RG505 or 552. Obviously not as small as an RP3 or something, but a lot smaller than a GPD XP+. Likely gonna be anywhere from $250 to $300 based on what my ass is telling me.

>>9931207
btw if anyone is wondering how to use analog triggers for analog breaking/acceleration in PS1 racing games, here is how you do it. Some racing games, like Gran Turismo 2, allow you to use the right stick for analog acceleration and breaking. Configure your controls this way in game, and then in the emulator, swap right stick up (acceleration) to the right trigger and right stick down (breaking) to the left trigger.

Will it get you better lap times in GT2? Probably not, but it's fun.

>>9931225
I'd be happy with native res.
I have always thought that 1080p and over on small screens makes no sense.

>>9931175
play as shadow warrior with summon focus. take your time, don't even bother with the main quest. just explore. hope it hits you the right way this time. nothing like listening to the music on a warm summer night with some liquor in you.

I expected something terrible and I'm still disappointed. Literally designed by the guy that always comes into these threads to shit on us for playing handhelds and post his tablet-playing-tetris pic.

>>9931225
> that chip can cover almost every PS2 game
In that case it will probably cover the entire GC library

> probably around the size of an RG505 or 552
I think that's still a reasonable size

I haven't tried any Anbernic devices but along with Retroid, they seem to put out some of the best retro gaming handhelds.

>>9931251
That tablet Tetris always looks like fucking garbage and soulless lmao, I can’t imagine being on your high horse about that, also the input lag

>>9931256
>chip can cover PS2 so it can cover GCN

We arr grad u rike it, am I forgetting any other anbernic classics, the reality is it it’s all slop and more individual models of handhelds than manufacturer specific really

>>9931258
Are you cognitively impaired? Emulation for Gamecube is far better than PS2. This is why it is easier to emulate the entire GC library than it is to emulate the entire PS2 library. Which system itself is more powerful is an aside. Lastly, and this is most important, you must accept that you'll never be a real woman.

>>9931175
Don't forget to install the community patch, it's really improving the game imo.

It get's me yous. BTW, i'm also OP, i'm also the one sharing the torrent and the one with the glitter buttons on the RG35xx, i'm also the one that writes a bootloader for the RG505 and i'm also the one that designed a grip for the rg35xx that every Etsy bozo prints now.

Could anyone try out Kolibri, a 32x game, with picodrive core in RetroArch on an Android device, and tell me if the second level keeps crashing? It's annoying because I was enjoying the game a lot.
I tried to report the glitch.

>>9931620
Yeah I'll try it.

>>9931620
>>9931629
Damn this is shit is pretty fun innit. Anyways I played all the way through the first autoscroll level, so a good handful of levels, and no crashes. For what it's worth it was actually not running at fullspeed on my RP3+ until I turned frameskip off. I've tried to play one of the Shining Force GameGear games on Picodrive once and it ended up causing all sorts of weird shit to happen with the visuals, so I think the core may simply have issues with runahead. Maybe try turning that off if you have it on and see if that fixes it.

>>9931202
>The "portable" system for men who never go outside.
Sorry bruh they need to fit in a normal sized pocket or they don't count.

>>9931696
>>9931620
Scratch that. I put it to sleep, turned it back on to continue playing, and it crashed almost immediately.

>>9931713
Alright fuck yeah it's just crashing a lot now.

Committing a hate crime by posting this

>>9931317
I have that tablet and Bluetooth works just fine. It really works a treat for higher end stuff

>>9931731
Isn't this related to their new enhanced performance drivers? Most RP3+ and Flips are fine but a few got fucked by the update and they said they will replace them for free.

>>9931251

>>9931730
Thanks for verifying it for me. I tried to report the issue on the fork of picodrive that's used in RetroArch. Hopefully they fix it soon. I like the aesthetics and gameplay of the game a lot.

>>9931702
this. otherwise what's even the point

>>9931835
Some people have a handheld for bed or home use, a handheld for travel (bag size), and a handheld for travel (pocket size).

>>9931731
>fan
>on a portable
This is one of the reasons I never bought a switch. I understand why it's necessary but that it is necessary shows it's not ideal for a portable. For desktops the idea of low tdp went out the window. There was a point you used to get lower tdp (or at worse same tdp) and higher performace every year. Only smartphone processors seem to keep increasing performance without exploding but the costs can be prohibitive for other applications.

tldr: I refuse to buy anything portable with a fan in it

>>9931848
Get a fuckin laptop.

>>9931898
A Steam Deck is unironically a better purchase these days than a laptop.

>>9931251

I use a tethered controller in that pic, forgot my bluetooth controller in a hotel in France.

>>9932007
Give me a working rom and i put out a new version.

>>9931104
Do people actually put that entire romset on a single (handheld) device? What's the point of having to wade through thousands of shit in the hopes of finding something you enjoy? Or do people skip all that shit just to replay the same 5 titles over and over again?

>>9931225
Why was I told by someone recently that PS2 emulation on Android is basically kill because some emu dev quit it so we aren't going to get it anytime soon?
Anyway, I don't know why everyone calls it D1200, do you mean Dimensity 1200?

>>9932413
Just select your favorite games out of the bunch

>>9932413
Yes, they do. And they use the favorites function.

>>9932413
How do you know you like a game until you've played it?

On my Miyoo Mini, the arcade games all have the TV overlay and the resolution is tiny, pic rel

>>9932552
Are you on stock or Onion?

Alright lads. Posted in the last thread about power issues I was having with my RG35xx where it just wouldn't turn on or charge like half the time. Managed to fix it by completely draining the battery then leaving it on to charge overnight, no issues since. Make sure you don't use one of those "Fast Charging" power bricks because it could make the chink battery start acting up.

Beat both Kirby's Dream Land games and also the original Wario Ware. The shoulder buttons are still dogshit and uncomfortable but I think it's a decent product if you can get it for cheap and win the Anbernic QC lottery. The 640x480 screen is surprisingly very crisp and sharp for everything you throw at it. The bezels are nice and thin so it's a good looking screen for a chinkheld IPS

>>9932413
My favourite romsets have been curated but still contain hundreds to thousands of titles. I at least know that someone with more time on their hands than me has at least discarded some of the junk and ensured that everything on the typical top 100 list is there. And yes I make extensive use of favorites and frequently wade in and choose a random game.

>>9932548
Strangers on the internet tell me what to enjoy. Do you even zoom bro?

>>9932548
search online for genres that peak your interest, or even some youtube lists. pick a few roms you think you'll like and have fun with that. Any jank can be immediately deleted.
This is no different than e.g.modern games or movies. Do you really randomly pick something based on a title and boxart alone and see if you think you might enjoy that?


>>9932620
>Strangers on the internet tell me what to enjoy. Do you even zoom bro?
Are you really this retarded or just pretending to be?

I’d rather download the games individually, selecting the patches I need (translations, but fixes) than downloading crap that I don’t know how it was selected when most likely I will delete 95% of them.

>>9932647
Is it true that you are allowed to just not start the games you don't like?
Don't want to be in the wrong here, but if not, it should.

>>9932656
Sure, but I prefer a compact list per system that I actually want to play. And even then I dont want to start out with a full list, just a few roms and have fun with that first. Build a library over time. Helps me to appreciate and focus on each game more

>>9932645
>Do you really randomly pick something based on a title and boxart alone and see if you think you might enjoy that?
Sometimes. Why? Do you only play games recommended by YouTubers?

>>9932656
Holy insecurity.

I like this but screen too small https://youtu.be/zBHRippsVLo

>>9932804
Next size would be RG405 (4 inch 4:3 IPS) or RG505 (16:9 4.9 inch, but 4 inch in 4:3, OLED). I can recommend the RG505.
But it'll cost you.

>>9932827
W-what will cost me?

>>9932413
If I install a million games from the very beginning I don't play shit.
I add them in batches of 5-10.

>>9932836
Depends. I paid 160€ shipped to Germany, but if you are in the US you might get one for $130.

That new Anbernic Nano looks cute, but I think I'll stick with the Funkey S

>>9932929

Fuck I got chinkd. Does wifi really matter with these things?

>>9933182
I don't even know what else you can do with wifi on JELOS besides retroachievements. Does it support syncing saves with other devices?

>>9933204
If it's just that then it's not too bad, but they also made the casing all black and removed the ugly rk2023 logo from the front so it looks better

>>9933228
If you want the color and I'd email them to see if you can upgrade your order to that before it ships.

Saturn emulation is harder than psp. Doesn’t mean saturn had better graphics.
Xbox emulation is harder than wii U. Same story obviously.

Just did a bunch of research comparing the RG505 and the RG405m to the Retroid Pocket 3+. Ended up getting the Retroid Pocket 3+. It arrives Sunday.

Performance tier: Steam Deck (if you want PC and PS2, but that thing is huge, clunky and has shit battery life)
FPGA hipster meme tier: Analog Pocket (if you drink IPAs and want to show off on Reddit)

yo what the fuck the romset from OP has no seeders. share the wealth you stingy cocksuckers.

Is there a non-android handheld with a screen bigger than 3.5 in?

>>9936502
Powkiddy has made an assload of them, moste recently the X55. Also the rg503. 5" 16:9 screen, 4:3 from top to bottom comes out to ~4".

>>9936502
Oh and also the Powkiddy Max 3 is going to be listed next month and is running on Linux. We don't actually know how large the screen will be, but a guy connected to Powkiddy said it would be "premium" and suspects it will be around the size of the X55. Very likely it will have a screen larger than 3.5" with those two things in mind.

>>9936512
Been hearing a bunch of stuff about how the x55 is complete shit but then it was fixed by powshitty? Don't know what the current state is and reviews aren't really helping

>>9936537
Looks fine to me aside from joystick on top. I know the performance is still a bit crap compared to other rk3566 devices, but that chip is total ass for DC/PSP/Saturn/etc anyways even at its best.

Trying to decide between RP3+ and RG353PS. Now the obvious is that RP3+ has better chip, bigger screen and Android.
Now, what can RP3+ run better than RG353PS? And any other differences I should know of?

I posted about the Logitech GCloud several months ago and I'm back. I've been using the device for about 4/5 months at this point. It's honestly very good in terms of ergonomics, battery life, and ease of use. Performance is sort of so so with GCN and PS2, but everything below works really well. After some updates it now has touchscreen to button shortcut, trigger and stick dead zone calibration, and android back swipe gesture support. It's a shame it retails at $350, and I bought it at $300 with my work bonus. If the thing was $200-250 it would be an easy recommendation, but honestly at $300 I don't feel too burned for how much fun I've had with it

>>9936545
The rp3+ will be totally solid for N64/Dreamcast and even run some psp/PS2/GameCube
The 353PS will max out at some n64/Dreamcast and nothing beyond that

MUH OLED! MUH 4K UHD! MUH PIXELS! Kek. Graphicsniggers are hilarious.

>>9936545
basically what >>9936564 said. 5th gen and beyond aside from PS1 is just a miserable experience on the 353 imo. I would strongly recommend spending the extra for a t618 device like the RP3+ if you can afford it. The 3.5" screen is kind of a bummer too, although it can work. The RP3 screen is "only" 0.34" larger for 4:3 content, but it makes a surprisingly big difference for me.

>>9936825
The Miyoo Mini+ is being way more shilled amongst chinheld hobbyists and normie adjacent hipsters than just about anything else outwith the Miyoo Mini V2.
Bought the Mini+ and am hating it's d-pad issues - d-pad has a very narrow and shallow pivot that makes it way too easy to produce false up/down inputs, occasionally fails to register a direction even when pressed down and is difficult to register diagonals at all - so far as I've tried, reddit paper mod did not fix this.
Looking at the PCB, it seems to have the same design flaw the face buttons of the current Xbox controllers where contacts are completely separated and don't intersect, so diagonals do not bridge contacts and neither do cardinal directions if you ever happen to press them diagonally.
I wouldn't know how well the Anbernics hold up in comparison to the Miyoos in that regard but I'd definitely urge against getting the Mini+.

>>9936776
https://github.com/Xpndable/DotUI

>>9936928
I have the MM+ and I have not experienced any issues with the dpad at all. I do not believe any of those images show any dpad contacts either. By all accounts, the RG35XX has a much worse dpad, hence the tape mods.

I also have a RG505, but i don't use that as often.
I don't have used Batocera yet, i think by using the GPU for offloading some work they where able to squeeze a few more FPS out with some games, but it's not earth shattering.

Reminder that Lenovo would've released this under their Legion brand as the Play if they didn't drop it like a hot potato and it's probably why Logitech priced it so high because even though they didn't do any of the R&D, they want to recoup their money buying it out from Tencent that did work for Lenovo for the Android customization and etc. who priced it to get their money back.

PSP and PS Vita both have ARM type CPUs, but that alone doesn't make them identical in almost every way except for the latter being able to do more rendering of polygons and the presence of a touch screen. The ARM architecture between the two are indeed a generation apart. PS Vita still more powerful than the DS, DSi (+ XL variant), PSP, and the og 3DS. Vita's GPU is also more powerful than its predecessor by at least a middling margin. ARM Cortex SGX543MP4+. Overall, at the time of its initial release it was quite a marvel. Now, barely half that at best.

>>9936587
>The RP3 screen is "only" 0.34" larger for 4:3 content, but it makes a surprisingly big difference for me.
This is interesting. I did some calculations. If you have a 16:9 screen and cut off the sides to make it 4:3, the resulting diagonal of the view area will be 81.7% of the whole screen. So indeed if the screen is 4.7", at 4:3 with black bars the view area will have a diagonal of 3.84".
Even worse on modern phones. Mine has a 1080 x 2412 resolution, roughly 20:9 aspect ratio, 6.6" diagonal. at 4:3 the view area will be only 4.5", roughly 67.6% of the whole, which is basically 2/3 of the whole screen diagonal.

>>9937907
I think anon meant more in terms of how it compares to the original

>>9937028
>NTA, but a newer Android means a longer lifetime for Playstore and apps.
First off, why would you care anyway? RetroArch and a few extra emulators is all that matters. Even if I had no Play Store, it's trivial to get emulator APKs. The only real issue is updating them.
Second—are you really, really sure Android 11 is that much worse? I have a phone on Android 6. It's 10 years old—literally. Still has RetroArch that plays everything and has every core. Still has ePSXe.
Especially today, Android only introduces slight changes, like more customization, security, improving support for meme things like VR / wireless headphones and other bells and whistles. Literally all irrelevant for a retro handheld.
Maybe 7-8 years from now Android 11 support will be dropped by some devs. I'm sure it will feel terrible to get stuck with a 2031 version of some emulator in 2033 on your favorite T618 device. You will never get to see that minor graphics fix in Mahjong Gaiden 1995 (J) [v1.1].

This is a complete fucking joke, and I say it as an owner of a Deck.
Yeah, it's great and comfortable for emulation and some older games but there are many games I can't play properly without a mouse or a keyboard and at that point I might as well use a laptop. Getting any work in desktop mode done is a fucking chore.
>>9932073
I can' tell whether you're a zoomer or a third-worlder.

I cannot understand how someone could say the Deck is a good handheld.
It's just a mid range PC that can't be upgraded which also happens to have shit battery and on top of that is huge as fuck that wants to play games that aren't supposed to be played on a handheld.

It's safer dealing with commodities.

I don't get it about the RG35xx dpad complaints with diagonals.
I saw the video from RetroGameCorp with the "contra test" where you press down to duck and then try to make the guy walk by wiggling the dpad in the down position.
The anbernic makes it easy to walk when pressing down while the miyoo mini doesn't.
However, when I try to do the same test with a bunch of controllers I get similar results as the anbernic, e.g. the genesis 6 button & snes classic show the same behavior. The nes controller is less extreme but still easy to do so.
I know these aren't the OG controllers from the 90s but they are official enough for me.
At the same time, the wii classic controller (with the cable coming out the front like the dreamcast) is a lot stricter and harder to do diagonals that way.

So how valid are these complaints? Are they just from spergs that only compare it to (more) modern controllers?
Note that I don't have a RG35xx yet still waiting for shipment from chinkland.

>>9941343
>>9941357
Holy KINO!!! I shocked by how well the screen and audio stacked up compared to the others. The audio completely crushes everything else (because the RP3+ audio completely crushes the Flip and 405/505 audio), but I wasn't expecting the screen quality to beat the RP3+/Flip in any measure aside from size and scalable resolution.

The d-pad diagonals are probably fine outside of Russ's retard hands, but that SMW footage in particular did look kinda worrying. Hopefully worst case scenario it can be fixed with the tape trick like the Anbernic pads. That analog cardinal snapping is fucking horrific, though. Even the RP3+ has it and it triggers the ever loving fuck out of me, but that looks straight up 505-launch tier if not even worse. Thankfully that's something that could be fixed on the software side from someone like the GammaOS dev, but unfortunately Powkiddy is being fucking retarded and not sending him a unit.

>>9941404
That's the 405 dingus and he even said the real world performance is on par with the 405 rather than the RP3+.Flip.

>>9941450
The analog stick problem seems like it could be easily fixed through some software calibration. The d-pad having overly sensitive diagonals is a bit of a shame but it could also just be Russ being really autistic with his Contra tests and it's not actually that big of a deal when actually playing games.

>>9941359

At the very least most other people including Retro Tech Dad thought the d-pad was great. I do also prefer a slight bias towards diagonals in my d-pads, not as much as he demonstrated, but as usual it seems I'll need to try it for myself to know how it actually performs.

>>9941480
KEK does it really? are you saying this because you have one? or because you saw someone else show its ota functionality?

Yeah I think it's just another Russ Moment™.

>>9941514
There are a couple of people in the comments saying it just got an update yesterday.

>>9941161
Russ is a sperg, he included the diagonals part because of reddit faggots or whatever, and even said it did not affect his gameplay at all. From what I can see he included that just to keep friends with his viewers

>>9941524
>powkiddy actually updating their device
holy fuck what dimension did I shift into. anyways yeah I'm gonna grab this thing if my ktr1 doesn't ship in June.

What's the least expensive emulation handheld that can handle DreamCast games flawlessly/almost perfect? I was hoping for something in the $70-90 range, but most of those either have fuck-awful designs to them or can only run up to PS1 reliably.

I literally just want handheld DreamCast, though being able to do N64, Sega Saturn, and Dolphin would be amazing too. I already have an RG35XX, I love it but it's limited to up to PS1, so being able to run anything before PS1 is redundant for me. I don't mind if it's a vertical or horizontal handheld, as long as it's durable, feels comfortable, plays DreamCast games reliably, and doesn't cost over $100.

I can wait if such a handheld doesn't currently exist.

>>9941542
Technically the 18s, but I'd spend $10 more to get the x28. It's $140 free shipping right now with the $10 off coupon.

>>9941542
The 353PS and RK2023 are the only handhelds in that price range that can do some Dreamcast but I don't think they're 100% perfect at it.

>>9941553
>I don't think they're 100% perfect at it
I would honestly say they're straight up fucking ass for it. Some games do run just fine though, yes. The RP2+ is pretty decent for DC, but it still requires frameskip often enough that I wouldn't classify it as "flawlessly/almost perfect".

>>9941549
>>9941553
Hrmm. I'll wait, then. I only just got my RG35XX in March, and there seems to be new and better handhelds being announced almost every week at this point, I'm sure what I want will be available by Q3 this year.

>>9931104
does anybody know how to sync saves between a steam deck and my pc for playstation 2 emulation?

>>9941432
At last you finally see.

>>9941493
I was talking about the RG505, not the RG405, dingus.

>>9941508
And so
And so
And so
Count how often he says it per video. Once you notice it ...

>>9941563
Likely- t618 devices will be cheap by then.

>>9941580
Where are you seeing 505 Geekbench benchmarks, anyways? At least in this video and the Retro Tech Dad video they only show 405 benchmarks.

>>9941598
https://browser.geekbench.com/v6/cpu/compare/1391622?baseline=1400983

>>9941580
Here's the Max 3. Or Max 3 Pro, dunno which, or if they are even really separate models like the insider guy has been saying. Some DEETS:
>5" screen, don't know the resolution yet
>runs linux, apparently a well documented chip
>around the power level of a t618 (????)
>3 colors: white, gold, and sapphire blue
>sapphire blue is not the same blue as on the x55, insider guy doesn't know if color in the pic is just a prototype color or one of the actual production colors

I thought it was fucking hideous at first, but I'm kind of okay with it now. I think a different colored shell would help its appearance a ton. Front firing speakers is kino, looks like it has inline shoulder buttons imo. I have no fucking idea what well documented linux capable chip is around the power of a t618.

>>9941675
Looks closer to 1 than 2.

>>9941675
Well, i'm stocked. Excited even. In a buyers mood.
Another totally unique design and device.
I must buy it for it's unique features (which are none) and it's really unique looks (totally not like the RG505).

>>9941704
>stocked
stoked even!

>>9941652
Thanks lad, that's a pretty interesting breakdown. I'm not trying to be an argumentative cunt, but the bench RGC used in his video had the x28 at 94.19% of the RP3+'s score, while this geekbench comparison shows the 505 at 92.15% of the RP3+'s score (averaged single core and multicore scores together), so they seem pretty on par to me. Regardless we know the RP3+/Flip perform better in real world emulation than the 405m, and yet the 405m benched better here, and furthermore RGC says the actual performance of the 405 and x28 is pretty on par in reality. Honestly, it seems likely to me like everything but the RP3+/Flip is roughly on the same level. Until you put GammaOS on the 405, at least. Even the Retro Tech Dad video only did real world comparisons with the Flip.

I was already perfectly satisfied with the performance of my 505 as well as pre-patch RP3+, so I don't think I'll have any issue with the X28.

turki is such a faggot ayn shill I hate him so much I don't actually mind the Loki itself or Ayn

>>9941728
Why would you buy the x28 if you have the RP3+ and RG505?
Are you some kind of bitcoin rich collector?

>>9941748
Kek nah I wish. I already sold my 505 as I didn't like it quite as much as the RP3+. If I get a X28, it'll be to replace my RP3+. The main reason I'm interested in the X28 is the grips, slightly larger screen, and front firing speakers that in general seem to be head-and-shoulders above the competition.

>>9941675
>inline shoulders
God fucking dammit.

>>9941769

>>9941769
muh pocketability

>>9941783
It looks like it'll be too long to pocket anyway so might as well put stacked shoulders on it. Probably doesn't have the nice ergonomic grips of the X28 either.

>average powchaddy

>>9941873
>ZAMN! SHE'S ONLY $75!?

>>9941902
kek

has anyone got really annoying white flashes in pokémon romhacks? trying to play one on my hacked N3ds but it's having this issue and it's unplayable

Could someone please point me in the right direction for a handheld device. I've been looking at the Rg35xx and miyoo mini +, without realizing there were more expensive offerings from Anber that had a joystick. I kinda like the joystick, and was wondering why people didn't recommend any of the Anbers that had joysticks, and why the 35xx or miyoo + were the only ones talked about. Also, what are the best horizontal orientation handhelds? I think I just want to play gba games and explore some older consoles I never had the chance to play. Any info is appreciated.

>>9942013
If you want to explore older consoles you don't need the joystick.
The best horizontal is the steam deck, a good one is the RP3+/RG505 or RG405.
The RG353PS is the value proposition.

>>9942013
>was wondering why people didn't recommend any of the Anbers that had joysticks, and why the 35xx or miyoo + were the only ones talked about.
anon slowly coming to the realization vertisloppers are faggots.

>>9942013
powkiddy rk2023
same price as the other things you were looking at, but horizontal with joysticks and can play up to some n64/dreamcast as well

My god, the sound quality on the X28 absolutely shits on the RP3+ and most other handhelds I've heard. How did Powkiddy of all people get speakers that actually sound amazing?

>>9942175
It wasn't even close. And that's with the RP3+ audio mogging the other t618 devices, too. Between this, the RK2023, the X55, and especially the A12/13, it seems like Powkiddy is the fucking audio champion kek.

What’s the nicest horizontal device that lacks analogs, is SMALL but still has a 480p screen and can play 100% of stuff up to 16bit + 2D psx?
I don’t want analogs, but the only thing I’m seeing is the rg351mp, and it has analogs. Maybe a sonic based device like the rg300x?

>>9941518

>>9931317
>I earned to be on a high horse.

I'm just browsing around and I've never heard of any of that

>>9942242
I don't think such a device even exists. You're just going to have to buy something with analogs and ignore that they're there.

>>9942257
So it's just a matter of poor QC on Russ's device. I wonder if he can just open up the device and fix it.

this is the kind of d-pad we need on emulation handhelds

>>9942138
>powkiddy rk2023
Ya but...it's a Powkiddy.... plus that awful looking d-pad with the curved corners looks cheaper than MyArcade handhelds.

>>9931251
>>9931317
Do 8Bitdo controllers on a tablet upset /vr/ that much? It's what I do at college.

>>9942242
RG300X is basically the only thing that fits your criteria, but I don't know how well it handles hard to run SNES games.

>>9942319
Just use a wired USB Xbox 360 controller if you absolutely hate d-pads this much.

>>9942328
Some people say the d-pad is a lot better than it looks but I don't trust it either with that shape. I'd rather take my chances with the X28 d-pad because it at least looks like a normal d-pad.

>>9942319
shame about the screen and shit software environment, I'd love to try this d-pad out.
>>9942332
pretty sure it's going more for a Saturn thing than a 360 one kek. People say the d-pad is really good.

>>9942138
>powkiddy rk2023
Eh the reviews I saw for it and all the commenters mentioned that the device felt cheap, which I don't really want. Im leaning towards:
RG353PS
Retroid Pocket 3 Plus or the RG405M
I really like the 4:3 aspect ratio.

>>9942364
I'd take an RK2023 over a 353PS, but out of those I'd go for the RP3+. The 405m is cool, but d-pad on bottom and metal ruin it for me personally. If you don't mind that maybe it'll be a better fit.

>>9942372
I know this sounds dumb, but the rk2023 just does not appear to be as high quality vs the other options. I know it literally won't matter since Ill probably only use this on road trips or once or twice a week, but I really want something that I won't regret. Im fucking bad at shopping, theres so many fucking options.

>>9942376
That's fine m8, you don't want what you don't want.
>I really want something that I won't regret
In that case I'd strongly advise going for one of the t618 devices like the RP3+ or 405m, or even the x28/rg505/retroid flip the later of which you'll have to decide if you're okay gambling on a cracking hinge tho. Aside from the x18s, they really are the best all around segment of chinkhelds atm and it's not even close.

>>9942385
Yeah the flips seem really neat, and Ill pick one up next year, I like getting tech when its not bleeding edge. Yeah I like the 405m, and youre saying the t618 chip is the best for long term? (realistically)

Is there a huge performance change by using the SD card that comes with these devices vs buying your own?

>>9942330
Get back to work, them genders ain't gonna study themselves, boy.

>>9942414
None. But the cheap ones they come with are likely to fail, so it's just more reliable to get a decent one.

>>9942417
Actually I'm in business accounting because accountants are the one job that's never going away short of a nuclear holocaust

>>9942396
It's not JUST the chip, the devices that house them are just really good even aside from that. That said it is a really good power efficient chip at a good price. Long term it's not going to play much PS2 or anything, but super versatile and fantastic for everything DC/PSP and below. If you like the 405m then maybe just keep it simple and go with that. People love that thing.

>>9942418
>>9942420
Thanks so much! I already ordered a Miyoo Mini +, I think I am going to order a 405M as well and see which one I like better. I have a feeling Ill probably keep both lmao.

>>9942423
Good choice lad, let us know what you think when you have both.

>>9942423
To be honest you might as well keep both, they're very different form factors.

>>9942425
>>9942426
I kinda was regretting the miyoo mini + over the rg35xx, since I think the smaller size might be too small, however, now that I will probably have both, I think I will enjoy having the niche smaller miyo mini +, since now these will mentally replace my gameboy advance/SP. Ill drop by next thread or so and tag you guys. Thanks so much!

Well I just picked up another Famiclone handheld, this time the dark gray version. Almost scored a cool Pichu plush with it but I was just a few cents short

The Five Below/Walmart one isn't really worth it anymore unless you just want to play Tetris, they took off most of the good games sadly (now 200 instead of 400). Kind of venturing into /toy/ territory with these but w/e

>>9941942
Clearly that's a piracy feature that daddy Nintendo built in to punish.

>>9941343
Powdaddies, just keep 'em commin'..

>>9942419
I guess if there were a nuclear holocaust you could count yourself unlucky.

Im dumb, I just realized that the aspect ratio for the 405m is not the best for a gameboy advance emulator. Should I just go for a pocket 3+? What about the best oled screen horizontal?

>>9941446
I tried that when I got my deck but rpcs3 didnt like the filetype

>>9941542
Rk2023 with arkOS

I was thinking of getting an Ayn Odin Pro, but it has the same specs as my phone. Is it worth it or should I just get a gamepad instead?

>>9942843
Personally I would say no but only because I have the extreme opinion that there's not a single worthwhile controller for phones yet.

>>9942175
As usual with powkiddy there are drawbacks
>shitty dpad, way too easy to diagonal
>very touchy analog sticks
>questionable performance vs other t618 devices
The last point can be fixed by software, maybe the second point as well, but powkiddy doesn't even have an option for ota updates so I wouldn't get your hopes up

>>9942865
Read the thread my guy. Russ was wrong, the X28 does have OTA updates as well as other reviewers and people with the device mentioning that their d-pads do not have the extremely sensitive diagonals that Russ' does. The software and sticks are a problem but those can at least be fixed by software updates or a custom OS.

I’m using AetherSX2 on Retroid Pocket 3+ and I can’t bind the B button, I think because it’s a hot key, does anyone know how to fix this?

anti RK2023 posters I offer the following:
The screen is the fucking best out of all the chinkhelds I've looked at outside of OLED stuff. Holy moly.

>>9942330
Ha ha, he looks just like me!

Any refu/g/ees here that can tell me if it's ok to leave my laptop closed for a day or two while I dl the torrent?

>>9941675
I want it.

What's the legality of chinkheld? I read a long time ago that most game makers dgaf since they're not making money off the games anymore, but I can't imagine Nintendo going along with that

>>9943153
As long as you don't block the vents it should be fine. I've run a laptop closed for years and it's absolutely fine.

>>9943191
Legally they are classed as reverse engineered competitors, and therefore perfectly ok. Getting the ROMS, on the other hand...

>>9943194
Thanks anon. I have one of those fan-tray things that it's sitting on so it should be good
