Unironically, just get an RG35XX and install GarlicOS on it, it's an infinitely better user experience and plays twice as many games at full speed.

I tend to be a bit cautious with new handhelds made by the more bootleggy companies. I'm gonna give it a month or two and see if anyone starts having issues, and if not then I'd gladly recommend it.

for me aliexpless delivered in like 2 weeks and 45$ for the r35s was a great deal. kind of pissed the r36s releases 3 weeks after i got mine but whatever it's just 40ish bucks and it's still performed great. and yeah i only picked it up after seeing some videos and demonstrations of it and it seemed like a no brainer. Also being able to use paypal on temu/aliexpress etc gives me piece of mind that if the shit goes south i can just get my money back through paypal.

I know the current reviews are good, but I'm talking like, what if these things have a flaw that isn't noticeable right away. I remember when the 405m came out people were praising it, only to find out a month later that if you run it too hard the screen literally falls out

I find that it usually takes a month or two before those issues become noticeable, which is why I like to wait a little.

Not just a proprietary dock, a dock that artificially forces you to use it.

The analogue is outputting the video through a usb C port, meaning that they have al the hardware needed to do a basic usb to HDMI pass through, but they went out of their way to invent a codec that only their dock can read. At least Apple Tax lets you buy third party shit, even if it can only be used on their devices.

I tried to play one of those Pokegirl rom hacks where there's a unique story and it's all about defeating trainers and then catching them and making them into your Pokemon.
Except the very first time you lose (if you don't lose by a certain point you face an undefeatable boss and lose anyway) you're enslaved yourself, which is fine, but it instantly becomes about the most depraved and disgusting shit fixating on vomit, body hair, bad smells, forced scat eating, everything awful you could imagine. So I fucking deleted that shit and never bothered trying with anything else like it. The best I get is whatever lewd/suggestive smut were in retail releases.

Pokemon Girls Hunter? Hell yeah, that game’s awful. The fact that all the girls had the same bland moveset, just with different typings, was a bigger turnoff for me than whatever the hell that enslavement post-game shit was.

Well now we know what we're dealing with here, at least. Ice tea isn't brewed tea with ice in it to cool it down, you inbred southern hick. It's an entirely different product from tea, more similar to lemonade or uncarbinated soda.

So I tried PSO version 2, hope that's what you're after. Cleared up the forest, probably should have picked up a quest but whatever. Redream has some weird occasional flickering on the area, Flycast renders proper but I've seen some very minor glitches at weird angles in the city(?), both ran completely full speed.

My ideal handheld would be able to handle up to 5 gen plus psp, have a big screen, dpad centric, and good ergonomics (no brick shape). The x28 was very close, but sadly they fucked up the sticks and it wasn't supported by the community at all.
No perfect handheld exists, so I just might as well buy something cheap that works for me.

For now, it is a tie between the RG353PS (good shape, controls, supported bu the community, and it handles the PSX) and the trimui smart pro, which looks more comfortable but I'm not sure how it will handle psx. It hasn't been released yet so I'll need to see what people have to say about the machine.

The A133P in the Pro seems pretty on par with the RK3566 in the real world footage I've seen. Definitely enough for PS1 at least. The fact you get 4" of 4:3 space from that screen is also a huge plus and outweighs the addition of black bars on the side imo.

Literally nothing. You are paying a premium to people in California who just get China to manufacture the things for them anyway. They're a bunch of hedge fund kiddies who wanted to make the Apple product of handhelds, and they did. It has a bunch of hilarious design flaws that no one who actually used cartridge-based handhelds before would ever have done even as an oversight, it's literally designed to be turned on and displayed on a shelf in the background of a video, not to be actually used. And there are dozens of better novelty handhelds to overpay for if that's what you're looking for, like the FunkeyS or the Retro Pixel Pocket.

Async Audio turned on to improve audio stutter/quality when theres the occasional slowdown"

That's a comment on the 3+, but it applies to Flip as they share the same hardware. Flip may get SLIGHTLY better performance though since it has active cooling.

I'd link the spreadsheet to you but 4chan thinks it's spam, so just google "Retroid 3+ Compatability Sheet" and you'll find it, it's a google sheets page.

I just completely fucked up my Arcade games on my RG35XX. I was trying to change key mapping so I could choose different characters in the games that allow you to choose different characters. When trying to assign new key maps none of the buttons lets you input anything it just defaults to "none" or just blank. I used the Arcade input settings instead of the main retroarch settings which appears to have been the wrong choice. So, now I am unable to push a single input in any arcade game. I just reformatted the main SD Card to default. It still hasn't reset the key mapping. I tried deleting the retroarch.cfg file nothing changed. What do I have to delete or reset to just put everything back to default??? I don't care if I lose every save state. It has to either be somewhere on the 2nd SD card that has the roms and bios folders or some kind of internal memory on the RG35XX. Thank you for any help.

Overall impressions;
The A/X and B/Y buttons are connected to each other. I haven't noticed any false inputs but pressing one does slightly bring down the other with it. Apparently one of the first recommended mods people do is just cut the little piece connecting them. They also feel a little stiffer than the GBC's buttons and feel a little too tall.
D-pad feels good but also a little more stiff than it should be. I think it's slightly more recessed than the face buttons are, because it feels like the perfect height unlike the face buttons. Works great, no false diagonals from what I've tried.
The four shoulder buttons are all the same shape, click loudly, and feel stiffer than the rest of the buttons. It's also too easy to accidentally hit the L1/R1 buttons, especially when trying to hit L2/R2.
I thought I was going to hate the recessed Switch analog sticks, but you can't feel the large circular pit at all while using them. I'm pretty sensitive to tactile shit (I'm okay with these face buttons being engraved as you barely feel the letters, but some devices the engraved face buttons drive me up a wall) but I cannot feel the analog stick pits whatsoever even when trying to focus on them. The placement is also pretty great, as I can easily use the analog sticks with my thumbs' first knuckle while resting my thumb tip on the d-pad and face buttons, full control and access to everything but the Start/Select button without having to move my thumbs off of anything.
Start, Select, and Menu buttons are perfect though loud when clicked. Wish they were the same volume as the L3/R3 buttons when clicked.
I need to use my finger nail to press the volume, reset, and power buttons. And I'm a scrawny little 5'6 120 lbs twig. Which is fine, prevents any accidental presses. They have the perfect click volume.
The build quality otherwise is fucking solid, feels far sturdier than the RG35XX and I'm the dude who had his cat knock his RG35XX off my desk without a scratch.

[Anonymous No.10386048]

>>10386032
Despite being taller, the R36S is more pocketable than the R35S due to the recessed analog sticks. Also, having a removable battery pack cover should be a standard with ANY device. Other than that, their build qualities are identical. Sturdy, feels safe carrying around loose in my pocket without a protective case, I can just whip it out and and continue playing any title where I left off with ease, and mine only cost me $38 USD for the R35S and $45 USD for the R36S. They can play literally everything my RG35XX, better, as well as some PSP, DS, N64, and DreamCast. I personally wouldn't play PSP titles on a 4:3 screen, but they do run well. DreamCast and N64 both run okay and to get the best performance you will need to configure each individual title you plan to play.
Would I recommend the R36S over the Miyoo Mini Plus or the RG35XX? Yes. You just get a sturdier, more capable product for less cost, simple as. The only reason to get a Miyoo Mini Plus or RG35XX over the R36S is the desire to get into the Miyoo or Anbernic brand ecoculture.

[Anonymous No.10386285]

>>10386260
The RG35XX's shoulder buttons make it significantly easier to hold and use them, however the R36S's extra height makes it more comfortable to rest in your palms. Using the analog sticks directly under your thumbs feels no more of a reach than a PlayStation controller's, but what I really like is resting the analog sticks under my knuckle so my thumb's tip can rest on the d-pad/face buttons (only the X button is out of reach when I do this). I find I keep accidentally pressing the L1/R1 buttons on the R36S when I don't have that issue at all with the RG35XX. I haven't played it for long, but the only issue I think I'll have with the R36S for long play sessions are the shoulder buttons.

I didn't play any PSP games on my R35S, I just instantly deleted them to make room for more DreamCast titles since the base models only come with five DC games. I'll try some of the PSP games on the R36S later, but it's the aspect ratio of the screen that is gonna kill me, I hate squished screens.

If this gets supported by arkos I may go for it. Sadly I don't get portmaster will support it as it only supports a couple of CPUs, how do you feel about portmaster?

Good review, Guess I dont need it since Im happy with my RG35XX. There's gonna be new handhelds next year anyways.

[Anonymous No.10386419]

does anyone have multiple rg35xx's and can talk about the consistency of the screens between them? I've seen videos where people have said the color representation is better on the rg35xx than on the miyoo mini + and has overall better color representation, but then I see other videos where people say the opposite, which leads me to believe the quality of the screen is basically just a lottery.

[Anonymous No.10386436]

is it dumb that I kinda wanna get an rg35xx, even though I already have a pocket 2S?

I'm happy with the 2S don't get me wrong, but I'm messing with a friends rg35xx and I'm just kinda in love with the form factor. obviously the 2S is the better system, but a vertical like this feels so nice for 2D gaming.

[Anonymous No.10386457]

>>10386419
The inconsistency comes from ignorance and personal preference. What one person thinks is amazing another will think is terrible.
ie; Nintendo believes blurring the ever loving fuck out of N64 textures and graphics makes it look more realistic. Everybody believes it makes everything look like blurry fucking shit and would rather see them jaggies.

[Anonymous No.10386461]

Ya, here's hoping an R37S is just an R36S with the RG35XX's face buttons and shoulder buttons. That would be amazing.

Most of the titles on Portmaster are little more than proof of concepts being absolutely unplayable, be it for performance or controls. Not a deal breaker.

Nothing wrong with having a vertical, it's nice, but I think the RGB30 killed my drive for the GB form factor.

I still can't figure out what is wrong with this. I just wiped both SD cards and used my ROM backup I made a month ago, put a fresh install of GarlicOS on the 1st SD card and it still has saved my settings for Arcade games. There is no option in GarlicOS Retroarch that will just do a "factory" setting reset???

[Anonymous No.10386714]

>>10386707
did you reformat the whole sd card? the sd card when you put garlic OS on it is broken up into multiple partitions. If you just format it by rightclicking it on the file explorer, youre only reformating one of the partitions. To reformat the whole sd card you need to go to disk management in windows and right click on the whole drive.

I chose "Wipe Disk" on partition wizard, and Rufus does it's own format when flashing the ISO so, I don't know what more I can do.

I'm just trying to find some settings menu in Retroarch that is specific to Arcade inputs but, I cant find anything.

I learned a lesson today, I had ps2 games running great on my rp2s until suddenly today they were all stuttering badly. Turns out it was because I only had 80gb of space left on my 1tb sd card. Deleted a few games and brought it to 89gb free and everything worked again. I'll probably go through and delete a bunch of psx games later to free up more space in case that helps them run even better. Thanks for reading my blog, maybe someone will find this helpful

idk how partitian wizard works, but in disk management (built-in to windows) you should see something like this (disk 1 is my SD card). Each partition is its own drive (F, G, H, I), and I can only reformat each partition individually, so before I can format the entire sd card I need to delete each partition, then I can format everything as one unit.

Legends Arceus was a lot of fun. A shame that more of it didn't translate over to Scarlet and Violet. The last main Pokemon entry I enjoyed, at all, was Sun & Moon and even then you felt like a fucking secondary character just tagging along behind the pre-determined path the main character was leading you along on. Which CAN work (Phantom Brave for the PS2) when it's just a narrative thing, but all of Alola is just one straight fucking path you walk down.

I got my Odin 2 last week; it's awesome. Even F-Zero runs great at 3x on ALL tracks. There are some FPS dips inherent to emulation, but it's by far the best handheld GC experience I've had yet. The original Odin, with an SD 845, had a lot of shortcomings with GC, and the T618 is a meme for GC. That's not to say you can't PLAY GC on something weaker than an 8 gen 2, obviously, but for the price of an Odin 2, you might as well just buy that and not look back. I will never use my Odin 1 again, it's just that good.

It should without saying that DC and PSP are even easier to emulate and you can expect flawless performance on the Odin 2.

[Anonymous No.10387337]

Miyoo automatically accepted my refund request, no questions asked, bringing its total price to $79.69 CAD.

Least amount of hassle would be the Miyoo Mini+ with DotUI installed. Reasonable price, pleasing design, simplest frontend and interface, and decent PSX performance. If you want sticks and stacked shoulder buttons for better PSX play, or enough power for PSP, your best bet might be the Retroid Pocket 2S, but I'm not familiar with emulating on Android so I'm not sure how much work it takes to get running.
Sadly with these devices even if the price and form factor are right it's always going to take some amount of effort to get them ready to play games well. But if you're satisfied with Gameboy systems and 2D consoles then the Miyoo Mini+ is the best bang for your buck and DotUI is the easiest frontend to install and use.

Trimui's prices are usually dogshit for what you get and sales super mediocre. I could be wrong, but I don't expect anything more than an additional $10 off within the next 6 months. This is legitimately the first time they've sold something at a sane price even if it's not great. $80 shipped for a chip that's more or less on par with the rk3566 is pretty standard at this point. RG ARC-S and RGB30 are both around that price after shipping.

The state of ergonomic handhelds is pretty sad. Powkiddy is the only one even trying, and it shat the bed with the x28. The x55 was close to perfection, except the dpad is in the wrong place, and the rgb10 max 2 is perfect but is like 3 years obsolete by now. On top of that, they aren't usually supported by CFW.

This new trimui looked alright but they are slowly uncovering its issues. It's been known for a year so they could polish it more thoroughly.

[Anonymous No.10389042]

I have it turned off because it breaks the light aura that Sparx emits by stretching it all over the screen.

"get kicked from your game" implies you lose whatever progression you accomplished while playing. You don't get your fucking rewards/bonuses/whathaveyou if you've been kicked.
"Being kicked" also implies a human element where another individual chose to eject you out of the game. You're not "being kicked" in any sense here. At worst, and this is an extreme comparison here, you're accidentally hitting the power button on your og phat NDS due to its shitty placement above the d-pad. Except it's not even that because you're not losing your progress by accidentally turning the system off, you're just momentarily pausing your game experience. No external force is "kicking you" out of anything. Words and lingo have meanings, use them fucking properly or die riding a rusty rail up your ass.

It's Android-based and will kick you out of your game if you accidentally hit the menu button, supposedly.

Buttons are literally half the reason to even get a chinkheld. Otherwise we'd all just be emulating on our phones like zoomers.

I'm confused on why they swapped the backs, why not just have a blue/yellow arcade and a pink/green watermelon theme? If they REALLY wanted something that united/synced them together, they could have had a simple decal or something. The green and blue on both looks horrid.

When it comes to modding original hardware, I honestly don't give a fuck as long as the mods are being used on a device that's going to be actually played. What I can't stand is these Etsy "artists" who buy original hardware, gut all of the electronics out and throw it in the trash, then turn the shell into a fucking clock or pencil holder. These fucking retards can just buy replica shells and buttons from a million different places, but they actively choose to hunt down functioning handhelds and consoles to gut and destroy them for their quirky online store. "I'm such a nerd." *guts a GameBoy Color, trashes all of its components that aren't plastic, turns it into a necklace.*

Does an R33s suggest there's an R34s, or are they gonna just avoid numbering a handheld that due to... multiple reasons (Rule 34, "4" being a cursed number for Chinamen, etc)

5s and 6s copied powkiddy. The 3 series will be miyoo, so the 4s will be a pocket go 2 clone.

In that case, the 4s will copy the retroid pocket 2 only it'll have a bigger screen and an acutal second stick instead of a slider.

Miyoo would literally suicide if powkiddy or game console releases a new cheap clamshell before they do

They'd call that the R36f just to make the naming convention of these things even more confusing.

If you can get it for $50 and free shipping, ya
But remember that Black Friday is a couple of days away, you might be able to get a handheld in a higher bracket for the same price if you hold off until this weekend.

OKay, I want to play PSO and my PS Vita is too weak to do so..

Taking advantage of 11.11 and that I have never had an emulation console. Which would be the cheapest to play DC well?

K36S It looks great, but I don't see any posts with enough reviews and I don't want to fucked it up.

They arent made anymore, so you'll have to get lucky on ali, but,

Bittboy clone. Same firmware and performance as the v90. So complete shit

Same performance as the rg350.

RP2S on sale for the analog triggers and better analog sticks, if you want a pleasurable DC experience. Android takes more setup though.

R36S is ugly as fuck vertislop with giant retard buttons in the center but definitely cheaper than the 2S and linux devices usually take much less setup

That's not how it works on 2S, default settings require two sequential presses of the home button to leave games.

[Anonymous No.10392026]

So then there is no "being kicked from the game for pressing the menu button by accident" on any device?

I presume the other retroids have that too, at least.
