well, it was first used to say "rom based vs disc based" last thread (which was a pretty clear meaning), to which someone replied "all systems are rom based" (which is clearly not correct in this context).
nobody cares if you say you're downloading PS1 roms, but correcting someone who is specifically using rom to mean actual cartridges is retarded.

[Anonymous No.10254631]

>>10254612
I looked back on it and the first mention of discs was "for rom based systems it's true. for disk based systems not so much" which seems to have nothing to do with anything, regardless of the next retard's reply. People were talking about game files and just happened to call them all roms, which is a well understood contextual word but somebody decided to get nitpicky over terminology for basically no reason. That's like if some tendie was showing off her (formerly his) autism altar and said "these are all my Gameboys" and the other person who happens to be wearing a gas mask replied "actually that one is a Gameboy Advance SP." It's splitting hairs.

These are discs, which have their own catch-all term "ISO" regardless of the actual underlying format. Not like you won't encounter "PSP ROM" though, it's just a matter of (not) having enough autism to (not) be triggered by retards being retarded. Same thing with "BIOS" btw.

The extension .iso comes from the ISO 9660 standard for optical media, which is very often not actually used in game consoles. The extension just became a catchall for all discs
I just find it weird that some people are desperate to be pedantic about not using 'rom' to talk about CDs because they aren't ROMs (even though they are) and yet insist on calling any disc image an 'iso' even when they aren't. If they're going to be pedantic, they could at least do everyone a favour and be correct.

Once upon a time I bought a GPD XD. Loved that thing, I didn't use it for emulation, but Android ports of Sonic, Ys, FF and the RayGames played fantastically on it. It's probably the best experience I've had on the mobile platform period.
Of course, one day I spilled some water on it, and the Touch Screen stopped working. Then I attempted to do repairs on it myself, which resulted in multiple buttons falling off and getting lost. I've since replaced it with a LG V20 w/Telescopic Controller (Who's Wifi died after downloading my game collections), but I still have a soft spot for the GPD, even if I don't use it anymore.

I have one. I don't think that I would recommend it. The openFPGA cores implementation feels jankier than any of the Chinese emulation handhelds that I own, the built-in save state functionality is unreliable, and there are constant complaints from people about Pokemon saves being wiped (I don't play Pokemon, but that is still disconcerting). It feels like these are problems that could be worked out, but software updates for this thing come out at a snail's pace.

If it were just one or two reports here or there, I'd write them off as people using bad carts or just being retarded, but it seems like a very common problem, to the extent that it is being commonly recommended that you use one of those cartridge save backup devices if you plan to play Pokemon on them. I haven't seen reports of this happening with non-Pokemon games, so I am wondering if it might be an issue with the RTC in the GBC games or something.

720p (HD):Optimal Screen Size: 3-15"
This range includes small tablets, large phones, and smaller portable screens. Beyond 15", the softness of the resolution becomes more evident, especially in text-heavy content.
1080p (Full HD):Optimal Screen Size: 15-27"
This covers most computer monitors and smaller TVs. Many smartphones also use this resolution, although at that size, the clarity benefits over 720p are less dramatic. At the upper end (around 27"), you may start to see individual pixels when sitting closer.
1440p (Quad HD):Optimal Screen Size: 24-32"
Commonly found in high-end smartphones and gaming monitors. At smaller sizes, the difference over 1080p might not be as noticeable, but as you approach larger monitor sizes, the increased clarity becomes evident.
4K (Ultra HD):Optimal Screen Size: 32-65"
Beyond 65", while 4K still looks good, there might be benefits in moving to even higher resolutions like 8K, especially if viewers sit very close.
Conversely, below 32", the advantages of 4K over 1440p or even 1080p become less pronounced for general content consumption.

720p on a handheld is fine imo. Certainly not as good as 1080p, but it's totally fine. If you want that as sane TDP, it might happen in 2 years. Maybe. Regardless some anon on here said the chips next year (8800u?) are going to be a big leap compared to 6800u -> 7800u. If you don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, the chip in the Rog Ally is basically a modified 7800u.

Even at 720p 60FPS for Elden Ring, I still feel like we’re quite a ways off. Handheld gaming PCs have made good strides in recent years, but there’s still only so much that can be done. It may be possible still should you really boost the TDP, but the sheer amount of power required to get the game at that framerate would basically drain the battery quick and make for a lacklustre portable experience.

[Anonymous No.10255415]

>>10255242
Pretty much. You can probably get away with playing some PS4-era AAA games, and HD remasters will be perfectly fine no problem, but you will have to dial in the settings back quite a bit for better performance depending on the TDP you use. Always keep in mind that the battery life on these x86-based handhelds isn't the greatest, and TDPs higher than 15W will just drain the battery even faster. And outside of indie games, old PC games or for emulation, a 1080p rendering resolution is something that you should absolutely not target for modern AAA games on these devices, nevermind 1200p or higher as some of these handhelds oddly have these screen resolutions. Battery life will drain in less than 2 hours, performance will likely be poor or all over the place, it'd be impractical unless you're playing next to a charger.
For modern AAA games especially you will want to stick with your desktop. Its novel playing something like Halo Infinite or RE Village on a handheld like the Steam Deck, but it goes without saying that you'll have a better experience on your more powerful rig. These handhelds are ideal though if your travel from time to time, you want to knock out your backlog away from your desktop, or if you want to be a comfy lazy shit on the couch or in bed but still want to play vidya.

I'm still just using my smartphone outside for the time being, and a telescopic controller with some older smartphone that I've turned into dedicated handheld. I finished Sonic Chaos last week, and it made sense to go for Sonic Triple Trouble next, I pulled it off... but didn't get 100% and had to see that "Try Again" message by the end of credits, it wasn't too bad up until the 2nd special stage, but the 3rd one, and especially the 5th... these were something else, and it ruined my run. I don't mind it too much, it was still fun to play, level design, it all controlled well, played well, it's an 8-Bit Sonic, but with more polish than the previous ones... if only the went with the Sonic 1/Sonic 2 system of exploring to find the Chaos Emeralds somewhere on the levels... this would bea must play for me, I still prefer those over this one however, since the special stages really hurt the overall experience I think. Anyways, if you don't mind getting a "Try Again" message by the end and just want to go from point A to point B, this might be the best of the 8-Bit Sonic lineup, it's really fun to play, looks good and sounds good... it's stellar.

P.S. I'm posting a photo with Sonic Chaos instead of Triple Trouble because I'm feeling too lazy to take a picture of Triple Trouble, what matters most in the photo itself is the method of playing anyways, and smartphones have come a long way so far, more than I ever expected.

Stacked shoulder setup isn't just better for the triggers, it's better because you get full length shoulder buttons too. On inline devices like Anbernig's, I had to bend my fingers to press the L1/R1 buttons and it gets really uncomfortable after a while.

I know what you mean, to me just the idea of me playing on my smartphone without a controller... was not viable in the slightest, because of these controls. However, over time I started to try out emulators with the touchscreen controls, and it took a while... but I got used to them. I'd still take a controller over them any day, but they function well enough once you get the hang of it, and it's not too bad on Lemuroid, from my experience, it registers my inputs better than the other so far, I still struggle with some titles, especially those on consoles with more buttons, since they get a lot smaller on the screen and it's hard to be precise when that's the case, but on simpler consoles it's been working fine. I have ways of playing with an actually controller outside, either a telescopic or a dedicated handheld, but in both of those cases it's something extra I have to carry with me, and depending on where I'm at, it might not feel very appropriate to whip them out... my smartphone on the other hand... it's just the most convenient and pocketable experience to me for outside.

It really is fun to play, and the 8-Bit Sonic that, to me at least, feels the closest to the 16-Bit ones in looks and feel, also level design. I hope you have tons of fun playing when you get he RGB30, that screen looks perfect for old handhelds, I'd go for an LCD grid filter if you can, not only does it look more like how the Game Gear did, but it's just a nice look to me for some reason, very appealing.

I'm sure that a handheld would make me happy, they've all come a long way from just a few years back, but to me the cost just isn't worth it, I have a smartphone already, and had an old one laying around, a controller for it was way cheaper than full on handhelds, so I went for it instead. Still, I don't look down on these handhelds at all, hope they're here to stay. Have fun with your RGB30!

What's the truth behind GBA games benefitting from colour correction when emulated on non-GBA screens? I've been playing some GBA games on my MM+ and some look much better with correction (Metroid Fusion, the Castlevania games) but there's a couple like Sonic Advance which almost looks more natural without the colour correction.

Well, why is that? I mean, it's a thread for people to talk about handheld video games experiences that they've been having, at least it's how I see it, and that includes what they're playing, what they bought, what they're looking forward to, etc... All I'm doing is talking about my preferred method, at least currently, for platying outside, on the go, and what I've been playing on it recently... what's wrong with that exactly? Is it against the point of the thread? I don't think it is, and honestly if you dislike my posts, they're few posts among literal hundreds, I just enjoy talking to the people here.

I also really like the design, it's not until you get to the more expensive GPD or Ayaneo devices that you start to see chinkhelds looking that nice with transparent buttons and everything. it's also pretty amazing how they managed to put a 5-inch display in it and still make it quite compact. if chinks started printing new motherboards for Vita with modern phone SoCs (even something like T618), that would be the perfect handheld for me...

nta Consider the manner of your writing as its appearance will affect how it's responded to. The informal casual tone you've chosen contains numerous comma splices due to impromptu structuring which lacks cohesive flow and is best suited for verbal conversation. Like, if you don't try, and simply put commas after solitary thoughts, it reads, like, a valley girl, or whatever.
Here's a sample:
>It really is fun to play, and the 8-Bit Sonic that, to me at least, feels the closest to the 16-Bit ones in looks and feel, also level design

I'll work on that from now on, and I'll try to translate my thoughts into words in a more compact manner, since I know that pretty much every post of mine is a huge paragraph that sucks to read.

no such thing, if you're emulating on a phone, it's already a completely different experience from a genuinely accurate one, you might aswell just do what feels more comfortable for you, and if that means not taking a controller with you just so its used for a few minutes whenever you play on the spare time you've got outside, then so be it.

It's simple, the reason most people that play on the phone do it is because of how convenient it is, its a device they'll already take with them anyways, if you're going to bring a whole controller so you can attach it to your phone, that you'll have to go out or your way to detach and put it back in your bag once you stop using it or get a call, it's better to just use a standalone handheld at that point.

As someone that plays on my Android regularly, I don't have these issues as much, most midranger phones that run Android nowadays have battery that lasts the whole day on a single charge unless you use it all of the time and/or to do demanding stuff, also most people that emulate on phones I know of just play for a few minutes when they're on a break where they can do it, not for hours...

I tried putting emulators on my GF's iPhone once, because she wanted to play her childhood favorite SNES titles on the go, but it was awful to pull off due to Apple not having any emulators in the store, and the only other ways I found to put them were mediocre or downright tiresome... if you like being restricted and paying a lot for this stuff, fine, but it's not a matter of "just works".

My just werks is more to do with phone or life stuff. Mobile gaming is brute force on iphone which demands a cucked lifestyle I cant tolerate, I used to be like people I know "I dont know what youre talking about my battery is gre- hey can I use your charger real quick?". I just want to find the smallest cheapest device that can do ALL ALL ALL ALL not some ALL SNES and ps1 games. Sure an android phone can do whatever for life, Ive got an iphone so id much rather have a second device thats smaller than a battery bank or my tablet. If no device is cheaper or smaller than my tablet then ill leave it alone and accept that my 25 dollar tablet wins. One thing im not doing is "phone gaming is great just do all this bullshit that makes phone gaming fucking annoying and embarrassing compared to just having your tablet". I really dont want to carry a bunch of shit to make the "better" solution a reality. 70 dollar handheld that can do PS1 and ALL ALLL ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL every single ALL SNES games for as small as possible under 70 dollars. Or I save money and just carry a backpack for my phone and tablet.

RetroArch is pretty controversial mostly because RetroArchfags. IMO RetroArch is indeed a great option for setting emulators for 5th and older consoles on chinkhelds, and sometimes is your only option anyway.

Pretty sure I have it nailed whenever they/them/xer/pan-am goes for "just use your phone lol xfd lmao" argument but just in case, cheaper and more practical to carry a phone and tablet than it is to buy a 70 dollar handheld right? There is no handheld under that exists right now that can play ALL snes games and a few ps1 games for under 70 dollars? Just wanna make sure Ive nailed this without the "why dont you carry 23 dildos with your phone in public in a small fanny pack?" zoom-zoom advice moments. Its cheaper than buying another handheld, but I hate carrying a whole damn tablet just because my other handheld cant do a few snes and yet all ps1 games. Ive followed up on anbernics that either are immune to searches or only exist on temu/ali-ex' for 3 dollars and 5 year shipping.

Im trying to reduce shit im carrying, "lol-phone" means Im carrying a battery bank for the phone just to enhance shitty arguments about "lol use the phone". Cant believe Im being held back by 2 SNES games not working on any handheld (until magic 120 dollar threshold) but it seems like thats where we're at right now.

at the moment I'd say it seems like the following are the top winners of the "under 150 dollars" category of handhelds;

>either Miyoo Mini+ or Anbernic RG35XX for the extra small form factor handhelds(I'd say it only really matters which one you go for depending on whether you think built in wi-fi or having HDMI output is more important of a secondary feature)
>Powkiddy RGB30 if you want a Linux handheld that has a bigger screen and more power than the previous tier without having to go too much higher in cost, also unlike many of these handhelds it comes from the factory with a good quality Custom Firmware in the form of JELOS so you just need to update it once you get it instead of having to do it all from scratch

Well, today my university course decides to make everyone waste their time a bit, if anyone here's been to university, you know that's how it usually goes, anyways we all had to do group seminars... about 10 groups, took around 3hrs for the whole thing to finish, so there was a lot of time to spare here... and my Samsung Galaxy A14 is getting the job done as usual, with Lemuroid's excellence.

I went for Castle of Illusion this time, the version on Mega Drive, though the 8-Bit version is quite fantastic too, and man... I had QuackShot as a kid, but I wish I had this one too, this is platforming at its best on SEGA hardware, it looks superb, OST's delivering the right atmosphere for every part of the adventure, control and level design are good, I managed to finish it, and still wanted more of it.

P.S. I love this specific part on the photo I took at home after the whole thing ended, to me it's just the most cozy part of the whole adventure, OST once again delivers, alongside the aesthetics...

On another note, today was really hot outside... and that went for the classroom too, and this to me is when touchscreen controls struggle most, when your hands sweat even a little bit, at least it wasn't enough of an issue that it stopped me from finishing it, I was on my last life, or "try" in this case, but still pulled it off, it's one thing that physical buttons will always be 10x better, but I didn't have too much trouble with it as I thought I would. I still think the convenience is worth it, I messed around on my smartphone and nobody cared, becaus everyone was doing it, it doesn't get people's attention at all, and that's a thing I appreciate a lot, since in situations like this what I want most is to be invisible for a while, just to focus on what I'm doing and not much else...

Indeed, I mean, we probably have less than half a dozen of PhoneFags, and if we want to talk about people that post regularly, maybe a couple, max. I mean, usually they post about what they played or about what they're using on their phone, like a controller and stuff, it's really not a big deal, I can think of the anon that posts Sonic a lot, and that one that posts their Kishi often, besides that, the older "Just use your phone" annoying PhoneFags don't seem to be very active.

In work environments, or study environments, a person is expected to be productive at all times, but we know that's not entirely possible always, and as I've mentioned before college has a lot of filler and pointless stuff that you essentially have to attend even if you don't want to and/it it's just useless for you at that moment.

"just phone" is me pinching my fingers on the charging port holding the phone or wireless charging not playing waiting to play and I have to sit there and think "thank god I listened to some anonymous internet guy".

I think we're in the same boat and we both found what works for us more or less, but then theres one guy posing as 3, and a few starting shit to bump the thread or for attention/free stimulation. Im surrounded by devices most days, just this on-the-go part kills my phone battery (1), limits my game library due to practical price(2), or (3) requires I carry heaps of junk to eliminate problem (1) and (2). Instead of a solution (4), im getting pitched one of three options over and over from bent out of shape "you have to be me or else Im gonna cry" anons. Yeah it sucks.

Dont get me wrong tho'. Its not a death sentence to carry all the fun stuff, especially on my last vacation innawoods it was like some sort of internet-free zen to just do movies/music/podcats on phone, play games on the handheld or tablet and just cram soda and eat Italian toasted sandwiches all night long in cold breezy silence. But at work or general boring downtime the choice is (1) nuke phone battery (2) carry a charged batt bank at all times to avoid 1', (3) buy and carry a tiny gaming handheld and still have all-day use of phone without asking store clerks to let me charge my phone or hanging out in the car to recharge. It gets so annoying when the simpler solution is to make everything complex. Handheld, phone, done. V90 remains peak handheld under 80-100 dollars till proven otherwise I guess.

But no no no no.... i need to reduce my self to buying a fucking miyoo mini because it suits your fucking niche? Suck my fucking dick. So a handheld wrapped around android software and a chip using the same google play and shit is somehow sooo fucking superior. I have a device in my hand that can play all these games, with a solid controller I enjoy as a peripheral but NOOOOO NOOO NOOOO I need to buy another fucking handheld device to carry around with me that's neutered to be gaming only becauase some faggot on the handheld generals board will rage post for a fucking hour about it with no better argument then "its not authentic enough!

You're splitting hairs.

Look; it's an old phonw that has been turned into a handheld gaming device....


Now go on, mouth off some more about how it doesn't relate to the HANDHELD thread because it's not an ambernic.... go on....


For the rest of (Yous) I honestly don't hate on handhelds. Like I have before and will say again that the miyoo, the retroid pocket series, and one or two others have a solid reputation. I honestly almost pulled the trigger on an RP3. But I will fucking goe toe to toe with anyone prepared to die on a hill claiming that this isn't a legit way to game. "not your preference?" Thats fine. Ive had plenty of civilized convos on this board with people about the pros and cons of each. Not a handheld? It literally plays retro games in my hands... anyone saying otherwise and harassing the fuck out of people is just splitting hairs or shilling. I know there are some quality peeps here and I love you. (shout out to that dude with the cute kohai psps stylized, everytime I see that shit, I kawaii!" And thats why I like this board. The variety of discussion and ways that people play games....in their hands....also, again, Ill post what I want. And if you go on a 100+ reply tangent in some autistic manner. Expect a clapback. If you agree to disagree, and move on, then expect respect.

I recommend Atari 2600 stuff in general, but to be more specific... Adventure, Asteroids, Berzerk, Enduro, Haunted House, HERO, Pitfall, Pitfall 2, Raiders of the Lost Arc, River Raid, Space Invaders and Yars' Revenge... because they're so ideal for handhelds, when you have a few minutes to play and want something easy to just pick up and play for a while before putting it down. Atari 7800's the same due to being quite similar to the Atari 2600 in style of software.

I couldn't have made a more BASED post if I tried it, Kishi poster... I agree 100% with you, it's crazy how anyone that dares use a phone instead of a dedicated handheld gets treated like garbage by most here, when most of these handhelds are on Android anyway, to a lot of people using an older phone with a controller they can find for cheap is just more convenient and affordable than any of those handhelds, as good as they might be. Keep being based and making based posts to defend our fellow phonefags, Kishi poster, you're telling the truth and many just can't stand to hear it.

I wish there were ROM hacks or maybe even a decompilation or something that speeds things up. Sure, you can fast forward, but then selecting things from menu are bit trickier as cursor suddenly goes faster as well, music gets sped up etc.

You deserve this. The handheld threads existed just to follow the stream of new chinkhelds released last year. No such thread for general handhelds existed and previous attempts eventually evaporated. People come here everyday to learn news about new handhelds being released. For more than a year, retards phonefaggots keeps regurgitating the same trite line "Just use your phone, it is enough". Rightfully you were bullied but now you want to play the victim.

I used this for a few months a while back. The weight distribution is horrendous. Very uncomfortable for play sessions longer than 5 minutes. My wrists hurt just looking at this. Moved on to an Xbox One controller with clamp, but the clamp was scratching the controller. I finally bought a horizontally-telescoping controller. Horizontal setups are superior. Even better when you connect it to USB.

I'm still on my smartphone, because it's what has been working for me. I decided to play an action based title this time, as opposed to platformers, and went for Spider-Man vs. The Kingpin... I love how they added a photo mechanic, to buy Peter's web fluid, and resting in your apartment for your health, it feels immersive. I adore the moveset, it feels just like how the character is supposed to... add to that an atmospheric and dark OST, with a visual style with proper identity, that looks good, and we have a fantastic time. I recommend this a lot to anyone.

P.S. I won't reply to posts that are trying to insult me or that are rude due to resentment towards me, I don't want a thread I like to have dozens of posts where we argue, I prefer to see us talk about what we're playing, and the devices we love to play.

which is a shame cause the form factor is super good and the helio p60 is in punching-range of the t618

That pretty well applies to everything. I don't use my original gameboy, color, advance, DS, DSi or 3DS anymore and just play my Switch and chink device.

Look here.
First off, debloat. If you don't you're a dumb ass for leaving corporate spyware shit in your phone, . Easy to do with UAD. If you're a badass, you use a custom rom and can over/underclock it. There now that half or more of the software that came preinstalled is gone, voila. A much, much longer battery life. If I charge my shit and leave it in the cupboard for 7 days it will still be at 99 if not 100%.

This nonsense you posted, is just that, nonsense. And anyone with half a brain knows it. Now!
let's take it a step further and remove google play services altogether and use foss apks from fdroid and grab some emulator apks from online and one can turn their phone into a stand alone gaming handheld. I have never needed to charge my shit during the longest play sessions, even on intensive games. So, try, try again.

Also, just did a quick search on amazon with a 150-200$ price filter. I can get stronger cpu/chips and more ram then half of what's entertained here for similar prices.(6gb is easy to get at this price range and no over seas tax either) Which is what; I'll do. Because my phones have lasted me years. Who here has had a chink device for years and still used it? I'm honestly curious; seeings how they pump out a new model EVERY other week. I finished my shopping and spending some time ago. With more games then I'll probably ever get around to playing. My cupboard is not a collectathon of cheap plastic trash though.

Hmmm, its a hard decision... to buy underperforming tech for the same price thay I could buy over achieving tech?

It'd be a better tactic, o make room for the phone kings, because we're not going anywhere. We'd respect you more if it didn't feel like pol level shillery. Paying a similar price for nostalgic sentiment versus paying the same price for expanded capability and better hardware. (It's the same hardware that they use for these handhelds btw, usually older/outdated stuff that's cheap to buy in bulk)

"wait, if I buy this handheld, I'll be on this deuchebag's level....yikes" you keep shilling away with lies that' it's not a completely viable alternative. It is. Which is why people do it plenty. No battery? Yeah right. PLENTY of battery. No need at all to hover around an outlet.

Retroid pocket
Odin
A very select FEW devices here and there catch my attention. I said before, I almost pulled the trigger on an rp3 and will state today that it seems to be a really solid device.

But everytime you fucks shit on a psp owner, or a ds owner, or a gameboy modder, or a phone player. You're shooting yourself in the foot. Your marketing tactics SUCK. GIT GUD.

For me it's how companies made it so opening the phone to replace the battery voids the warranty and the way they've begun to phase out sd card slots

I think the story was more complex then that, and this time Anti-PhoneFags have their share of the blame
>A PhoneFag made a few posts about what he played in class and got mocked for it by some
>He got really defensive and made sure to respond to everyone instead of just chilling about it
>Had dozens of shills lose their minds over daring to play Sonic and Mickey BingBingYahoo on a phone
>Thread became a PhoneFag hate thread for a while yet again because of a few ultimately harmless posts
>KishiFag got more agressive as a response to his fallen PhoneFag comrade and started attacking back
>People got mad at KishiFag, but he didn't fall like his comrade that was more of a sensitive fag
I think the mistake was ganging up on the Sonic avatar fag when we has just being autistic like any Sonic fan
Either way, we lost a bunch of posts on this when we could've been discussing actual handheld stuff yet again

To be fair it was a necessary gatekeep response to someone continuing to blogpost essays about playing on their phone in class and avatarfagging every single post. I'm not defending bullying per se, just noting that it's a natural response like when a pitbull sees a human child and needs to rip its face off.

I know, I just feel that for a website with so much autism, we lacked comprehension to someone that was clearly just sperging (Sonic avatarfagging really gives it away for me at least) and ultimately I felt this gatekeeping was bad for the thread, it turned a couple of harmless posts about Bing Bing Yahooing in class into a bunch of posts which just make the thread die way quicker.

This is also /vr/ and yet these threads talk very little about the retro stuff we play and want to own these emulation consoles for, I personally don't mind a few posts from people talking about what they're playing and how they're doing it, makes these generals feel more like a community, even if we're all divided in groups that hate each other, those posts just have to be shorter.

Can we objectively discuss phonefagging vs chinkhelds?
The reason I prefer chinkheld is because I loathe touchscreen controls, and strapping a telescoping controller thingy is jankier and feels worse than just picking up a chinkheld.
>But you already have a $1500 phone...
No I don't. Jesus who spends that amount of a portable, simple device subject to daily wear and tear and occasional shock damage?
A phone is only for communication, browsing Internet and the occasional productive app (car parking payment etc).

[Anonymous No.10262976]

I hate touchscreen controls too, and controllers because they don't solve the negative space and aspect ratio problems that phones have, but as much as normal people like us can't get into them, because they suck, it seems that there are people that play with them, and at the end of the day it's their device and playthrough, we can prefer chinkhelds, or official handhelds too, but we have fags on these threads that prefer their phones, and if we decide to go after them with each post they make, we'll lose about 100+ post in each thread over it, when we could've been discussing news and topics we're actually interested in talking about in the thread.

I think that unless phonefags are actively being cunts and talking shit about either official handhelds or chinkhelds, or going about how we should "just use your phone" then being aggressive towards them might just want to make them piss us off more, if people just want to play on their phone, fine, it's their choice to be fags.

[Anonymous No.10262982]

I think phones should count as handhelds, in exchange for phonefags actually discussing their hardware, rather than constantly bitching about people choosing not to use phones.
It's strange, for a board about retrogaming, there's a small but very annoying group who get really, really upset when people dare use hardware designed for retrogaming, rather than just repurposing [insert device they happen to own here]. See also: MiSTer threads.

I have to agree, 100% on this one.

Still, to be fair, the only time in this specific thread where a PhoneFag lashed out, that I remember at least, was the KishiFag, whose posts seem exaggerated on purpose for the most part on most threads, I often get a chuckle out of them even, it was only this time where I felt he was more pissy, but that was AFTER the autistic Sonic PhoneFag got bullied for a dozen posts, so maybe that ticked him, afterall he wasn't even bitching about people not using their phones, we was just being a blog posting faggot, but still mostly harmless, and that still derailed the thread with people getting pissed at him.

I feel it's better if we don't kick the hornet nest, most of the "just use your phone" faggots seem to have left thankfully, so let's avoid turning the few PhoneFags that stayed into obnoxious PhoneFags like those.
