>Nobody's fucking buying an Analogue Pocket around here just because it has a new colour
I bought one. I wanted black but it's been difficult to get. My friend waited over a year for his, I didn't want to wait a stupid amount of time for a pre-order and I didn't want to pay double price.

The color models said they would ship out within 2 weeks. They do look better, but that's just an extra benefit. I've wanted the device itself for a while, and after I got my mess with my friends I wanted it even more (the display is beautiful).

I assume the case for other anons is the same. Nobody is going to talk about it when they're not available (or are only available for $700), but there was just a bunch available and in a nice color scheme so of course people are going to talk about it suddenly.

You should take your meds. Analogue probably has like 5 employees, there's no way we could suddenly swarm threads.

Yeah definitely. I would avoid the standard IPS mod because it's not great. It's a cheap little screen with great visibility, but it looks like a small cheap display. It's way better than not being able to see the screen, but there are other options available. The ita screen mod looks way better since it has a real 1 to 1 lcd grid, which looks great at that size. There's a newer high res IPS mod out that I haven't tried yet which might be good. The ita is a tn screen so if that IPS is of any quality, it might be an attractive option. I would avoid the laminated screen options because you have to buy a special dogshit shell for them, and it doesn't look any better. The usb c mod is the best thing in the whole world. You just put it where the batteries go and you stick a back on that has a perfect hole for a charger to fit inside. The capacity feels infinite with an everdrive and both of the IPS or ita mods I've installed. IPS is less power efficient but it doesn't seem like a big deal to me.

That depends, how much are you willing to spend on a "relatively high end device" exactly, and what exactly is your limit? Do you also want an x86-based device, or are you fine with ARM/Android-based devices? If you're fine with an ARM based handheld for the better battery life, your best options right now are the Ayaneo Pocket Air, or any of AYN's Odin devices. Odin 2 in particular should be great, but it will probably take its time getting shipped with some delays if the company's track record is any indication. They are Chinese-based companies though, so bare in mind if you order now, your order wont be processed until October 7/8. Entire country is on vacation for what seems to be China's "Golden Week" holiday.

If you want to go even further and tackle some of your PC backlog too, or even higher end emulation in general, then the Steam Deck is still going to be the best bang for your buck in terms of performance and efficiency, as far as x86 handhelds go. I played quite a bit of Earthbound Zero on it at a 5W TDP and I still had quite a bit to go. Even on a 99% charge with 3x native res, Silent Hill Origins seems like it could take 5-6 hours to drain the battery at 7W.
In contrast, other PC handhelds really can't that same performance, either because Windows is an inefficient OS that drains battery life, or because the more expensive 6800/7800 chipsets just arent performant at lower wattages.

If you want high end, get a Deck or wait a year or two for whatever follows it up.
Valve is a better company to spend big money on because they're legally required to give good customer support.

Chinks can legally get away with some shady shit and depending on how they're feeling on the day you run the risk of getting fucked over. Getting fucked over on cheaper handhelds isn't bad but I wouldn't spend Aya Neo money and risk something happening.

Full replacements, no, not that I know of. I think Miyoo will sell you blank shells directly but only in the standard colors.

Assuming an RP4 launches end of November or early December (big assumption, but I do think it's incredibly likely to release sometime before April of next year), I do think the RP3+ will sell for a sizeable discount on black friday.

The Odin 1 line is probably ending with the 2 coming up, so it shouldn't be a problem for much longer. Power and price aside though, I imagine the RP4 will still be quite a bit smaller and lighter than the Odin 1. Probably a bit bigger than the RP3, but not by much. Then again maybe I'm a bit biased in saying this because I happily sold my Odin Lite for a non-+ RP3 around this time last year.

And even with a totally black shell, I can see the light from the lam screen through the sides of the display and through the start and select buttons if I play in a dark room. Need to go in with some electrical tape at some point to mask that that out.

is it weird that i find OP's picture erotic?
there's just something about the Data Frog's curves and ergonomics, the ridges on its sumptuous little joystick, the contrasting colors, the rounded sides of the bezel...even the little red power dot lit up like a jezebel on saturday night...

is it so wrong, what i feel about the SF 2000 datafrog? and with so much power, so much versatility, so much comfort all packed into a device that costs less than two Subway Footlongs- i could settle down with the SF 2000 for life.

>can you turn it on and off quickly
yes you can- and I do, often. actually, turning the DataFrog on and off is one of the most sensual parts of the SF2000 experience for me, if I'm being totally honest and transparent I would even say it's more than a little erotic. it's so smooth- the energy pulsing in your hands. The power- like a fully-charged bullsnake, or a fishing rod with a juicy carp on the line. You can go anywhere with the DataFrog SF2000- the only limitation is your imagination. And at such a low price, how can you say no? You deserve it. Personally, I buy one every week just to express my gratitude that such a thing exists. It's like going to church

this might be a weird question but do you ever find yourself just absentmindedly kissing/licking/sucking your DataFrog?
just this last week or so i've sort of drifted off and when i come back to reality i'm making oral love (coitus) with my DataFrog SF2000.

i mean i really do love its versatility, ergonomics, long-battery life, vibrant display and especially its extremely competitive or even dominant price point of under $20 for the ability to play everything up to PS1- but still, I was a little surprised to find my tongue exploring its nooks and crannies, caressing its buttons. and then it happened again, and again...

no matter what you decide on- Miyoo, RG35xx, v90- why not add a DataFrogSF2000 to your cart before you head to the checkout? It's only an extra $18 and can play all the systems you listed, and then some. and the sensual curves of its battery pack add an extra romantic or even sexual mystique that its competitors frankly lack.

Accepted. Here's DF2000 running Castlevania Harmony of Dissonance vs same game on RG35XX.

This game was released a year and a something after GBA premiered. Yet it runs like shit on DF2000. Notice issues with emulation like lack of distortion of the camera, the obvious 10 frameskip and sub 80% speed.

Add to this
- lack of ability to change aspect ratio
- hardware/display controller based screen tearing

And it doesn't even do NES properly :( I would love to love it, but it ain't worth it.

I have the 2023 revision, GPD decided to prevent every 2023 models from reading both SD card slots at once due to bugs or something. I rarely use SD cards anyway, it came 2TB across two SSD ports and can detect multiple externals hard drives at once. Stock thermal paste and temps are fine, I used a Honeywell PTM pad and the machine generates less heat by a few degrees.

I wouldn't buy one if you're afraid of opening the device and doing physical troubleshooting. Only serious issue I had was my left trigger acting like i was slowly squeezing it. Opened the machine and saw the left trigger sensor was hanging off the button hinge. The sensor still had adhesive so I reset it in place, problem 100% solved. Saved myself from the RMA process.

Naturally without emulators and roms there are no chinkhelds, but at the same time, people who had no idea how to run them now can. Pretty much like how devs created emulators because they liked the games, so those games were interested in themselves, but in doing so more people were allowed to experience them without original hardware. The majority of people who play videogames now do it through their computers/phones.

I'm still rocking my Galaxy M30 and MOCUTE-060 setup that I've been using for a few months now, it's so comfortable to play on my bed when I feel too tired to do anything else, or before going to sleep, just pick it up, load up a ROM on RetroArch and suddently I'm playing, and can keep playing it for hours, or minutes, whatever I prefer, it's just a flexible setup that reminds me of older consoles, when turning it on to play, and then turning it off aswell, felt so instant and quick, snappy. I only go for it at home though, this setup is around 25cm long, and even if you take the smartphone and its controller separately, both are big, I think using a smartphone alone, or a dedicated handheld, is an ideal choice for playing outside... but if you want to play inside and nothing else, it's a good choice.

Disagree on deck. Sheer power isn't everything. Size, battery, and form factor are also important, and while I had a deck, and was very satisfied with performance, I never took it out of the house cause the fucker was bigger than some TV consoles I own, which meant I never used it because I had a perfectly good couch and controller waiting for me.

There's certainly plenty of good reasons to get the Deck, but I don't subscribe to the "Its the end-all handheld" mentality, since theres plenty of good reasons to get other systems over the deck, even if they arent as powerful.

You'll have black bars on any handheld depending on the system you're emulating.
Game Boy is 10:9
GB Advance is 3:2
NES and SNES are 8:7
Genesis is 4:3
Neo Geo Pocket is 1:1
PSP is 16:9
16:10 is a good middleground where almost everything will have bars but they'll be small.

way I see it the Steam Deck's core strength is that it can do a bit of everything, it makes for a powerhouse for emulation, can handle a wide array of PC gaming(including a surprising amount of games from the 2003-2012 or so period that often can have issues running consistently on more recent versions of Windows), and can even serve as a halfway decent computer* in Desktop Mode once you get a dock(or one of the fancier USB hubs that also has HDMI or Display Port output) and some peripherals like a decent keyboard and mouse, and yeah it's not quite as portable as many lighter machines but for what it is I'd say it pulls off portability quite well(surprisingly good ergonomics for one thing), particularly for travel purposes where it can potentially fill the role of several devices at once

and all for a price that while definitely not cheap is in my eyes at least a good value for all it can do

*like nowhere near as good as a dedicated Windows PC(or I imagine other versions of Linux), but good enough to handle the basic day to day kind of stuff like internet browsing or basic media or office stuff

>>10294458
>Hows about the RG353? Anything there?? Im so close to buying one and it looks near identical.
assuming you mean the M model while I don't have that one I do have the P model* and that version works pretty well, so I do think the 353 family of devices are a decent option for a mid tier budget friendly device(though I'd say they've been surpassed in that area recently by either the Powkiddy RGB30 or the Retroid Pocket 2S), though that's also why personally I think the M model isn't the one to go with since that metal shell just adds a bunch of of extra cost and pushes the 353 internals into a price range where they aren't competitive in terms of performance

*the full power version, not the cheaper PS version that drops the touchscreen and being able to dual boot between Linux and Android and can only do Linux but otherwise uses the same hardware

PSP is a toss up on RK3566 as well. I sort of get what he was trying to say, but painting the 353VS in a positive light at this point is just vile. And since he was going on about the T618, he could have at least brought up the 405V, as wonky as it is.

Yeah I get the point he wanted to make, but the facts get in the way of that point and he should've been honest about it instead of contradicting himself like a retard. PSP is another one like you said that would be much better on a 3 Max, not even mentioning the aspect ratio advantage there. Also while I love the RP3+, fantastic device, it bugged the hell out of me that he decided to exclude the $15 shipping charge (probably more where he lives) when comparing it to the most expensive option of the Max 3.

405V would've been a much better comparison like you said, and even then, there's still a $35 difference after shipping for the cheapest options. $45 with the typical Powkiddy coupon, I don't know if there are any for the $405V. Not trying to stan for the Max 3 as I think it was Powchaddy's weakest device in a year they've otherwise been churning out banger after banger, just annoyed by ecelebs being retarded.

Yeah. Perhaps more importantly, it has pressure sensitive triggers for DC and whatever GC you manage to squeeze. Careful you don't get the 2+ though.

>Can it do SSX3?
Prolly not, 6th gen is more of a bonus on easy games than anything on the T618, and the T610 is a bit slower than that.

>I was thinking Anbernic smaller sized 353m for 180, but if this thing can do some gamecube its going to get up there to the 405m but at 353m price.
Still, should run laps around the RK3566 on the 353s. $180 for the 353M is absurd.

If this thing can do up to SSX3, worthwhile, otherwise its kinda big compared to the 353M and a little more expensive on amazon from what I can find right now.

Dunno, going from official amerifat site prices. 2S 3GB should be $100 normally. There's no world where a RK3566 based device should be going for $100.

>Why am I avoiding 2+? 2+ is the earlier version of 2S?
Yeah, weaker specs, standard sticks and digital triggers. 2S has the d-pad on top, 2+ has the stick.

>Can you stretch the game image to the actual screen or are you trapped with black bars?
Yes, it's just Retroarch. Then you apply bilinear filtering or preferably an interpolation shader to prevent shimmering.

>Can it run over 100% speed in GBA games?
Even the $50 chinkhelds do.

Different, the 353s are RK3566 based, 2S is T610. RK3566 can't really handle N64, PSP and DC, let alone beyond that. Saturn is hell no matter the hardware you throw at it.

Can't tell you how fast GBA fast forward gets as I've yet to receive mine, and again PS2 and GC are very, very dodgy in this price range, but everything else on your list looks achievable, except maybe Starcraft.

Do Game and Watches count as handhelds? I picked up a Donkey Kong 2 dual screen handheld recently, and it's mostly fine, but I feel like the viewing angles are a bit faded from what they should be. Does anyone know where I could get some polarizers to (potentially) fix it? I'll upload a picture tomorrow. Maybe it's completely fine and that's just how the consoles worked, but I swear it's a little tiny bit faded and that changing the polarizer would probably be a noticeable improvement.

They do indeed count as handhelds but I cant say if yours is faded until you can post a pic tomorrow. If its only a slight fade it would probably be better to leave it stock.

I can survive 480p video, just a good backup to have, one less thing to rely on the phone for. Checking out Gore Troid website it looks like theres a 3+64 and a 4+128, is that 3gb sd card or 3gb ram and 4gb ram?

How long have you waited for shipping versus where you live?

Ok now onto the hard part, whats the fastest way to ship it? Big trip at the end of October, do you remember any options to ship it faster? Oh and the metal RP3, 160 dollar metal one, does that do ps2 or gamecube any significant amount better than the rp2?

can these retroid faggots just announce the RP4 already. i just want a 2S with a bigger screen. 3.5in is retarded. absolute nigger industry.

I'm still waiting for a proper form factor for these horizontal bricks. The Pocket 3+ just has a few things off with its buttons and form factor that makes it not worth it for me.

So you can get this Miyoo Mini+ case for $1.83 with the Aliexpress app's little buy three deals for $1.83 each with free shipping feature, usually found under the Tech section; https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006058086706.html

3GB RAM, 32GB internal storage with some taken up by Android.

I had to get mine from Aliexpress (strongly advise against it for retroid because the prices tend to be inflated, the 2S was a rare exception), normally China packages used to take about two weeks to be delivered. My RGB30 stalled at customs for a while and took 24 days total, my 2S is currently on day 20.

i just want a 4.5inch+ 4:3 device that runs ps1 and below that doesnt have a dogshit powkiddy/anbernic-tier long & tall dpad. retroid are probably the only ones who can do it but apparently 3.5inch screens are the norm because theyre mass produced while other weird sizes arent. fuck id even take the 4in screen of the 405v but vertical layout is completely retarded. at this point i should just fucking buy a series s and play on my tv instead.

personally ill never buy powkiddy as theyre the only chinkshit producer ive seen that has actually had a device explode in someone's hands. i know theyre all the same shit at the end of the day but its not worth bothering to me.
>>10296771
for what i want (ps1 and below) the 2S is exact device im willing ot pay for aside from the 3.5in screen, i could just buy a 3+ and deal with pillarboxing while enjoying the extra 0.3inches of screen real estate, but surely some faggot chink company will release a good horizontal 4in+ device soon enough.

Frankly there's no way to gurantee it'll be there by the end of october. I'd just get 4px if I were you, as DHL will often have sudden fees mid-ship. Order right now and you may have a shot.

Is AYN the only company that doesn’t suffer from this in the chinkheld scene? Ayaneo I’d also say is close but some models have their issues in terms of battery life, at least for PC gaming

anyone have tips on how to clean sticky fluid out of the buttons + volume/power toggles on the DataFrog SF2000? i got a little carried away after i fell in love with its superior ergonomics, workhorse processor, great battery life and unbeatable value. feels great in the hand.

AYA has its own problem where they barely support any of their devices, if at all, since they're shitting them out at such rapid-fire pace they couldn't possibly hope to.

what is the nest handheld for snes? been playing on my vita on retroarch but the occasional slowdowns have been bothering me(especially on ff vi). I have a n3ds and it will probably do the job, but the dual screen makes it so clunky to hold.

If you want flawless SNES, then you need at least a Miyoo Mini +, RG35XX, or a plastic GKD Mini/GKD-350H. Anything more is overkill for SNES or paying for more than you need. I recommend the RG35XX.

I might just move up to RP3+ and call it a day. Then I can do whatever for the next couple years until something overshoots RP3+ at a lower price. Im already seeing videos of wii sports running on a RP3+, knowing it can do OTG I could theoretically do just about anything in a pocket form factor. RP3+ then coast for a decade, basically what I did with the PSP way way back. With google play I get RCT, Gzdoom, so I have that and my huge list of games already listed >>10296010 and steam link for rare occasions I feel like letting my hopes up only for steam link to fail remotely.

Of course, the further away the chips power limit is from the games you want to play. The less it will heat up playing them.

Amazon, the price of in-stock and "arrives in 45minutes" instead of this thread-by-thread "I cant wait for my purchase to arrive in 8 more weeks". Plus something goes wrong you can refund without too much hassle.

> If you’re playing 3D games (which is what you would primarily buy a 405M for)
The 3D games that you can run well on that thing don't even add up to 10% of the games you can play on it, hence, the D-Pad is on the wrong spot.

That claw grip is just as unbearable to me when I have to play 2D games on one of these devices, basically one side is gonna get fucked no matter what, it's just stupid to fuck over the side that has the most potential playable games.
