Retroid pocket 3+ should last ya long as well as having a more common battery so you can just replace it if that shits the bed. The flip using a custom battery was a bizarre decision. On top of the shit hinge, you're fucked if the battery fails and retroid runs out of spares

I recently upgraded my steam deck's SSD. I went to put my USB stick back into my computer to wipe the SteamOS boot file off of it, but it would not show in explorer. I took it out, put in my usb SD card reader, same thing, tested out another SD reader and it's the same deal. Windows is recognizing that something is being plugged in and unplugged (it plays the sound) and things like Device Manager and EaseUS partition manager see the USB device, as a J drive, with the correct volume names. However explorer WILL NOT SHOW ANYTHING AT ALL!! What the hell happened? Nothing like this has EVER happened to me until I just reflashed my SteamOS! My PC has Windows 7.

a company really gotta step up with an affordable dual screen console, maybe 2 versions, one with and one without dual analog and more power so you can either do everything up to PS1 including DS or do every console ever that has an emulator. I'd imagine for one with similar power to rg35xxh it'd be like 30-50% more expensive to add another screen? I'd pay it, right now all you got is the expensive ayaneo flip, and yeah I guess the bottom screen would have to be touch screen but it'd still be like $200 and not over 1000

and the GB is? a DS handheld would encompass both DS and 3DS (unless citra is harder to run than I think) and those libraries are waaaaaay better than the GB, and also it would work as a handheld for everything else and you could put like a loader menu on the bottom or something

"No!" These are cheap chink devices, start running separate apps on the bottom and every video about your new NDS ripoff will end with warnings about the garbage battery life and how each screen's running apps impact the other's. Try to think realistically here.

I think they have been working on it since the original Miyoo Mini design, but due to the Mini and Mini Plus's popularity they abandoned it until enough people kept asking them when it would be coming, so now they're still releasing the thing like two years too late due to "demand".

90% of DS games play just fine by switching screens or having one smaller next to the big one, that's also why there's no point. It's not as special of a system as tendies hype it up to be and you can probably count on two hands the amount of actually good games that cared to use both screens at once as a gimmick.

I would prefer to play retro console games on a CRT. I would prefer to play GBA games on an SP. I would prefer to play NDS games on a DS Lite. I would prefer to play 3DS games on an N3DS XL. I would prefer to play Switch games on a Switch OLED. I would prefer for there to be PS Vita games. But what I would prefer most of all is to have everything available on a handheld device that can also upscale shit and fit in my pocket. It's all about compromise. You want everything and a 3DS? Have fun lugging around your Deck and 3DS, that's the compromise you made. Mine is to only use a RP4P, meaning big black bars on either side of most old games and higher end gen 6 and Switch games not playing that well.

I got my Ali DS Lite today, and it’s… kinda bad. The bottoms screen is yellowed, but surprisingly, the top screen is almost pristine. However, ALL of the letters on the face buttons are off center. The stylus is a tight fit and feels a bit rough on the touch screen. The D-pad is probably the loosest one I’ve ever dealt with, ZERO feedback whatsoever, it feels like I’m pushing on nothing. Didn’t the DS Lite have a clicky D-pad like the DSi and the phat DS? Or am I going crazy? Also, that power switch is ASS compared to the power button on every other DS ever, I have NO clue what Nintendo were cooking with that idea.

Anyway, I’m thinking of returning it, but the shell DOES look really nice, even if it does screw up the controls. So maybe I’ll just keep it around to autistically admire it on a shelf.

You could probably mod it to do that already

ScreenCast is an android function, but there's noticeable lag since it's over wifi and it pastes the device's exact resolution to the screen unlike hdmi out which upscales it so your 360p game doesn't look like shit on your 55" tv.

Be real with me here, when 2 metres is close to the minimum viewing distance for a 55" TV, is 5 metres really so bad to meet the same AOV as holding a DS 34cm away from your face?

>>10832825
I was curious how far away a 55" TV would have to be to meet the same AOV as a DS when I saw your post.
I was lightly shitposting; partly in reference to the DS on 3DS posts above.

Scaling does matter and would come into play. Where you say 360p stretched on a 55" TV looks bad, well that is a bad example mathematically because on a 4k display it COULD integer scale cleanly 6x; but it won't through screencast or rawdog, if your device can at least output 1280x720 or 1080p over HDMI and your TV scaler won't rape the rest it'd look acceptable and that's where your post is coming from.
Whereas looking at the DS resolution of 192px, 1 screen won't scale cleanly on modern TVs or monitors and will require some letterboxing at 11x res.
I gotchu, was more in reference to the DS on 3DS shitposting that shows up.

I just learned the Wii can artificially do 1080p where if using the component cables, it just stretches the standard definition to be wide, but if you buy a third party "HDMI adapter" the Wii will actually output in 1080p. But I don't think I've ever seen widescreen Wii gameplay, ever, outside of Dolphin emulation that's deliberately increasing the game's resolution so everything looks clean and sharp rather than blurry as fuck GameCube AA methods.

It's nothing as surface level as muh pickel counts or widescreens.
It comes down to screen size and FOV/AOV with handhelds. They're functionally small screens you hold at arms length so screen size is king followed by resolution for clean integer scaling or dirty scaling with shaders/filters. Widescreen devices with larger screens win out over a bunch of the 4:3 models because of equivalence.

As you get onto emulating later gens like PSX, PS2 & GC you're running into text and UI elements being smaller and comparatively things don't line up.
Take small boys RP4P here >>10833070 no bullying them for it today but if you consider 640x480 on that 4.7" device in 4:3 is 3.8" with widescreen patches and widescreen supported titles they get the full 4.7" but it's only ever equivalent to 3.8" 4:3 in height. Everything is scaled to that first. Say you're holding that device at arm's length of around 35-40cm your AOV for 4:3 content is 11-12.6 degrees and 16:9 is 14.8-16.9 degrees. These systems work better in the range of 15-20 degrees AOV and the luxury space is closer to 20-25 degrees.
Compare that to say a 21" TV for 4:3 and 26" for 16:9 you would need to be sitting around 1.94 and 2.22 metres away to get the same equivalent FOV.

Now remember you only really play the handheld at arms length and the only way to increase that AOV is holding the device closer to your face or using a bigger screen.
Holding it closer to your face is going to get you into near focus issues, your eyes will only focus so close. So the next step is larger screens.
The solution is simple, you install bigger screens into the devices, you aim for 5-6" for 4:3 content at 640x480 and it's in that sweet spot but they're not shipping 4:3 devices with 5 & 6" screens and they're not making them in bulk so they put larger 4.7, 5, 5.5 & 6" devices in. For that they get flexibility for wider systems and a larger area for that 4:3 content than a 3.5" screen.

My point is the majority, if not all of the games people are playing on emulation handhelds are standard definition resolutions 99% of the time. You're still either stretching to fit a wide screen or having tons of wasted blank space. It doesn't matter if a wider screen is better for yours eyes when the games themselves aren't wide screen at all.

[Anonymous No.10833164]

>>10833158
Also most handheld games were design with 2-3" or 4" devices in mind so they take that into account and use bigger fonts, bigger UI elements and PSX isn't quite so bad an experience at those smaller sizes than PS2. Playing PSX on a portable 14" TV is a much nicer experience than playing a gamecube game on one.

So yeah, use a slightly larger widescreen device and gain a premium in 4:3 content and PSP/GBA games. Use a 4:3 screen and you're bottlenecked in the 3.5 > 4" range.

>Handhelds simply are not ergonomic.
I think this is about the best takeaway.
When I look back to how I felt about the switch when it launched I had issues with it feeling too much like a slab and my shoulders didn't rest neutral enough. While I enjoyed playing older titles on it, I wasn't a huge fan of 16:9 content.
That concern's been enough to steer me away from the deck although I'd have a lovely big screen. I want nice beeg screens but I'm aware as it gets into that territory that ergonomics start to matter more and more. So while I say I want a nice big 6 or 7" 16:9 screen for emulation, I know in my heart of hearts that the chance of it being comfortable to hold or look at grows slimmer. It's less of an issue with 4:3 or 1:1 resolutions because they're not as wide but you're still only looking at about half an inch of screen space before it gets wider than a vita and into that hell zone.
I'd like to give a 6" 16:9 device another go in the future but I know it's playing with fire.

Can it be manually replaced? Odd for it to be the screen but it's possible. I usually default to the fact that it runs on android.

Now I'm sort of intrigued of the Switch+PS2 capability of the Odin 2 but I don't know if I can commit just yet. It apparently runs P5R well enough but I can't imagine how it runs on a XBC game.

Of course not, because that game was designed properly and levels were balanced around player progression. Necessitating grinding is a failure, not a feature. You'd know that if you played any RPGs that weren't Pokemon.
Even IN Pokemon games, if your solution to any given challenge is to simply out level it and come back, you're playing it wrong. And if your mentality as a "developer" is to cater to that play style, your game is bound to be trash.

The main advantage of the Odin/RP consoles and other chinkhelds is that they're much smaller to throw into a bag. The Steam Deck is still an incredible bargain, mainly secondhand LCD models, but it is rather bulky to throw into a bag while traveling. Of course, that's sort of the price you pay for the comfort factor/horse power needed to power more demanding 3D games, because it is pretty much a Linux PC compressed into a handheld. And you could still buy a third party dock on Amazon to hook it up to any display, either to use it as a Linux PC or as a home console, there's tons of great built in upscaling features like Integer scaling or FSR, or Linear scaling for 3D games.
As for battery life, the Odin 2 isn't a slouch in that regard either. ARM devices are generally much more battery efficient IIRC compared to x86 devices, and the Deck itself is really pushing how energy efficient an x86 handheld can be.

As someone who had a steam deck, but settled for an Odin 2 base, there were several reasons:

>Battery life. Odin 2 still mogs the Steam Deck (and demolished the Ally) at lower-mid TDP due to no heavy OS overhead
>Size and weight. I'm an average guy, but the Deck really killed my arms after 30 minutes of play. Forget bed gaming entirely. Rog Ally wasn't much better
>Android. I can run phone games on it without the need to use shitty emulators
>Price. Odin 2 base is still $100 cheaper than the cheapest LCD model. Refurbs are scarce so I wouldn't even count that

The only thing the steam deck really has over the Odin is power and track pads, but at the cost of literally everything I mentioned above. And the Deck is already showing it's age struggling to run new games like Forbidden West and Dragon's Dogma 2 so I'll just wait for the second generation before buying in.

Yeah, you'll basically pay the premium for a backpackable Android handheld. That, and while emulation on Android is great with something like the Odin 2, its native library of games isn't that great in comparison to Steam. There's still some decent enough titles like 9th Dawn III, Grid Autosport, a fine port of Sympathy of the Night for $3-4 bucks, Streets of Rage 4, Minecraft and Stardew Valley to name a few. There's also good source ports like Deviltion and Delta Touch, and even some decent enough modern games like Gunfire Reborn and Rainbow 6 Mobile. But it absolutely pales in comparison to what you could get from your Steam library.
I own both a decent Android handheld and an LCD Deck and love both, but its just a matter of preference or what you can fit into your budget. As a leaf though, don't stick to Aliexpress. Get it from the manufacturers website in the case of AYN/Ayaneo devices, or look at the Retro Handhelds discord server if you want to buy used second hand devices.

I'm curious how far the deck could be pushed on PPW via undervolting and chipset power savings. idk about AMD's mobile chipsets but their desktop offerings (and intel) in the modern age are fairly abysmal due to trigger happy boost behaviour akin to nvidia's boost tech we saw introduced around the kepler & maxwell generations.

Even the battery life is the same or even better when emulating the more demanding stuff like PS2 on the OLED, although Odin definitely takes it below that. Still, you get over 10 hours at 3w tdp on the OLED model even at half brightness and volume, which is enough to emulate just about everything below PS2 upscaled with bells & whistles, so you're not exactly battery life starved there either

The Deck's custom APU is still very energy efficient, that's basically the device's selling point even in the face of more powerful chipsets from AMD themselves. In more demanding 3D games it obviously wont last long, but it can really surprise you with lighter titles.

It plays the games I want fine under OGL at native and 2x native and 3x/720p for vulkers. That's still vita+ tier
If it came from the smol handed faggot he probably left it in the power saving mode again; y'know like he did for his ENTIRE previous review.
The sticks are also vita sticks so, eh that's up to you but they've worked fine for me and there's even a calibration tool.
As for it getting warm, It can but it's not that bad, I spent over 2 and half hours playing NieR Reincarnation via moonlight the other day in a 23c bathroom and I didn't have issues with other long sessions playing GBA/WSC; not played that much PSX yet since I'm elbow deep in GBA, WSC & SFC titles and SaGa Frontier 2 just had a port announced. I can say the device never got warmer to the touch than 38c from my own body temperature measurements.

I want to know on which planet you'd have to be on to say it has great community support though.
It has portmaster, batocera is inc and tomato really doesn't count since it's a collection of small tweaks in which the incompetence of lammy cancels out any perceived benefit.

This is a great solution, I do it too and I use a rangefinder to calculate device to eye distance.
https://shauninman.com/utils/screens/ will help with seeing how games scale to your device in integer scale and such.
If you want to go less ghetto, go to retrosizer or something or Amazon for a picture or look for good pictures taken properly with a game on screen, enter photoshop, create a canvas for your display and scale until the device matches what it should on your monitor, you can then measure via tape/ruler to confirm if your calculations are off.

>The thing is, you don't have to shrink a 4:3 image to fit it on a 16:9 screen
You do, if the 16:9 screen has the same diagonal length as the 4:3 screen
The 16:9 display on your pic is bigger than the 4:3 display, it has longer diagonal length. That will make the whole device bigger in turn, just like RP3+ and RP4 is bigger than RP2S. If you're primarily playing games that have 4:3 modes, a 4:3 display is the better choice. The only reason to prefer 16:9 is if native widescreen systems such as PSP are your main focus. I don't care about PSP, I mainly play PS1, PS2, Dreamcast, N64, Gamecube. Every game on those systems is guaranteed to have a native 4:3 display mode, with 16:9 display modes being an extra that's only sometimes included. Yes, there are also hacks for that available most of the time, but those additionally also introduce annoying graphics glitches from time to time so I just avoid them altogether.

DC is much more powerful than N64. Twice as fast CPU, twice as much base RAM as N64 with expansion pack and four times as much as a basic N64. 480i as the default display mode as opposed to 240p. Good hardware-based transparency effects. 1.2GB disc storage solution. People bash dreamcast because it didn't have a DVD drive, but a basic DVD disc is only around 4 times as much space as a single GD-ROM disc while a single GD-ROM disc is more than 15 times more space than the largest N64 cartridge size.

Honestly, good quality Dreamcast emulation nowadays has more to do with the enthusiasm for the console itself and the fact that it was engineered with off-the-shelf parts and extremely simple PC-like hardware architecture in mind. Dreamcast is easier to emulate than Saturn, mind you.

I wanted to get flash carts and a flasher too, but those are stupid expensive for some reason. I was really hoping you could get flashable carts for a few bucks, but anything decent is more like $30-$50 and you can't even put any game on it since they have those different memory mappers. really seems like a waste of money playing anything but original carts.

I know by the time I could afford a deck it'd be pointless due to another model that could come out in the future or performance will be superseded at its price point but the idea of having a super comfy drakengard, nier & PS2 SRPG machine is still one thing that keeps me awake at night.
There's also the risk that future decks continue with the silly embiggening screen trend that'd make it offputting.

The buttons at the bottom aren't start and select by the way, they're Android's. And shortening the space between stick and buttons makes for worse ergonomics.

They have a ton of new screens which they used for the V3 and unpopular V4. In fact them not having screens to fulfill original and V2 orders is likely why this model went on hiatus for like two years, but now that they have tons of screens and can't sell V4s anymore, they might as well use them.

What is the best OS to put on an R36S and why?

Default ArkOS isn't bad, but it is a little fiddly with a little too much in the way of menus and the way you exit games is really stupid. Do any OSes allow you to make use of the function button like most other handhelds use for menus/exiting?

ArkOS should support that, IIRC the stock image has it setup wrong but there are setups for ArkOS with the menu button mapped properly so you can use it to pause RA and for shortcuts etc instead of being forced to use the select mapping.

Kek yeah it's the PS2 version of PSU. I have to crank it to at least 3x res to not look like shit because of interlace fuckery I guess, but my rg556 can't handle that when I'm also using the 60fps patch. Phantasy Star Portable actually looks better on here in a lot of ways, but there's no 60fps code for that one unlike the sequel. Here's how the game looks at 1x with widescreen hacks off if you're morbidly curious btw...

Don't worry, future big screens will be bi-fold clamshells with ergonomic support and Steam are no different. It's the most efficient design short of wrapping a large, swiveling screen around a smaller device like the GPD Win mini.

nta but I did play it on PS2, PC & 360 and it looked bad on the PS2 via SCART.
I redownloaded to check out of curiosity and I guess thanks to interlacing, native it runs at 512x448 or 288p so yeah, it's closer to PS1 and through the power of raw autism and memberberries I have recreated how the game looked on me mums old 28" JVC that was passed down to me after I got her the 32" samsung flat screen she wanted for her birthday and was KIA by a delivery driver when I moved.
Done via screencapping the native game at 288p then pushed through a shader to a window that's 29" large on my current TV.
I ended up playing it more on PC since I still had my CRT monitor I still use today and that support up to 1280x1024 and did run in 4:3.

To link this back to anons 3x screenshot, yes it does look that bad at 3x but the scaling's off there as it's trying to scale the 8:7 resolution and not 16:9 so instead of the 864p you'd expect they're getting 392p a 36% increase in resolution from the PS2, it's a very dirty scale. Probably something to do with the emulator (android?) they're using, as the 3x scale should be showing in their info 1536x1344 for 854p.

There's probably a patch that fixes it or you need to bruteforce it.

>CRT makes a big difference
>weird blur-then-regrid effect makes a difference.
Yeah it can do, especially for consumer TVs, I still use my CRTs for more than just gaming.
That same effect is what allows handhelds like the ones posted to look passable when not scaling uniformly and blown up beyond the screen size they were intended for.

With PSU, it's fun to compare it to something like FF XI which came much earlier, was also a 3D title that ran at a low resolution but the scope of design, models & environment are different. It covers up extremely well on a consumer CRT TV but like PSU less so if you slap it on a modern flatscreen or a CRT monitor integer scaled with nearest neighbour filtering or not. Even then FFXI was using a bit of trickery and scaling to work its magic. It's also worth noting that PSU is very cross gen, releasing simultaneously on PC and only a short while after on the 360.
Both titles look great for their era when running at PC resolutions like 1024x768 or 1280x1024.
Interestingly enough you can recreate the same effect in XI today to match PS2, I'd edit one of my Ashita configs and force it, take some pictures but it's late and booting that up this deep in the day is not good; I'm not sure I have a spare 16-18 hours in me.
