I'm gonna be real with you guys, this is still MVP for me. The only issue I have with it is the shoulder buttons are unreliable for anything that requires holding them down, but the ergonomics, pad and buttons are perfect.

I've been looking for a higher spec replacement with good shoulder buttons for a while, but they're all inferior.

RG351V :
Actually got this as my first chinkheld before the 351P because I fell for the vertislop nostalgia meme, then as soon as I started using it realized the shape is shit for ergonomics.

RG353P :
Went through 2 different brand new units, both had false diagonals.

RP2S+ :
Not nearly as ergonomic as the 351P despite the similar size, the extra height and the bulky tumors on the back because of the shoulder buttons hurt it, the Android experience is shit too, constantly forcing you to smear the screen with your fingers to make adjustments. Screen quality somehow feels shittier than the 351P.

I would kill for some sort of RG351P+ with slightly more CPU headroom and non-fucked shoulder buttons. I would even buy a 2nd one to tinker with if only Anbernig lowered the price of their products as they get older, shit is still selling for $80ish when it should have been $50 since a couple years back.

>> No.10454384

The screen ruins everything thoever. you have to choose between playing at a 1x integer scale that results in like 2" of display area, or use a tiny awkward 1.3x scale that obviously looks completely fucked. The RK2023 is basically a much better 351p.

I mean they only have 3 products so far.
Model S was built very well for what it was.
Smart was their weakest, had good buttons and dpad but the shell was apparently quite cheap.
Smart pro is a notable step up from the smart in terms of shell quality, the dpad and buttons are the same, the shoulder buttons aren't poorly built but the triggers are poorly designed.

I think it's obvious that they just used Vita sticks because they thought that they looked nice with the aesthetic they were going for and they could get a lot of them for cheap.

anons, please help. I have RP3+, recently I've been playing a lot of games using L1, and today the button started misbehaving. when I run button test, sometimes it presses normally, sometimes just laying a finger on it without pressing it results in a press, and sometimes it gets "stuck" after I release it and it takes one or more touches to bring it to normal.

But it was AYN who came up with all of those SKUs only to cancel half of them later on! It doesn't excuse making the people who pre-ordered wait a fucking year. They could have just scrapped everything and refunded all pre-orders in the first few months when problems started piling up and it was apparent that they wouldn't be resolved. They could have done that and owned up to their mistakes, but instead they decided to make those people wait A YEAR just to ship an outdated product to them so that they don't have to be refunded and make them lose money. If I ordered Loki Mini Pro a year ago and got it now I would be mad about my money going down the drain because right a used Steam Deck offers better performance and is available for LESS. The saying "time is money" describes the handheld market perfectly with how fast progress happens here and I actually think AYN scammed all of those people by making them waste time.

Take the time to learn how to install and use OnionOS. It'll make a huge difference all around but in particular it adds features to "emulate" a real time clock for games like Pokemon Crystal since the Miyoo doesn't have a built-in clock.
As for games check out Dragon Warrior III for GBC. I know Dragon Quest is more "mainstream" these days but DQIII is still a must-play. If you want more obscure than that try out the Shining Soul games. They're fun little dungeon crawlers/looters for the GBA with different classes to play. This is all assuming you just want to play handheld games on it. If you want SNES and/or non-RPG suggestions then try SkyBlazer and Lost Vikings 2.

Got my trimui smart pro today. Don't have a lot of time to play around with it because I've got an exam later today, but I did test it a bit. Mostly it works about how you'd expect, 5th gen and lower (except saturn) games run without issues, some psp games struggle, others run perfectly fine. The weird one is DS. For some reason the performance degrades over time and becomes terrible, until you open up the emulation menu, close it, and then it runs silky smooth again for a while before it starts chugging again. Even if you just open the menu up for half a second before closing it. I have no clue why it's like this. Also the default controls are bound wrong for the DS.

I'll try something different, running them on Winlator which uses box86/box64 (32-bit/64-bit x86 CPU emulators for ARM) + Wine (open-source implementation of WinAPI) + lots of other wrappers and libraries to make that whole mess work.
>How's latency on 2hu anyway?
I haven't tested latency, maybe I'll do it by recording with my phone at some point. Latency will obviously suffer because the game is supposed to run at 60 FPS and not 30. It's not like I could feel particularly high input lag when playing though.

And the thing kind of sucks to boot. The buttons are way too small, and for a maker board there is zero support, no .stl files for the case etc. so these things can be easily corrected.

I mean, it's not bad enough for you to pass up on it, the plastic just feels a bit thinner than a GBC or a 353V, it doesn't creak or anything, or is an eggshell like o3DSXL. This should only matter if it has to endure some day to day abuse.

I've had my Trimui Smart Pro for 3 days now, so here's my pros/cons:
the screen is great. it's probably what you will be buying it for.
the speakers are not only facing the wrong direction, but are also reversed (right is left, left is right). the cables are long enough to swap them, but I left them reversed because it can and probably will be fixed in software.
the problem with L2/R2 is not the size, it's the ridiculous force required to activate them which I measured at over 200 grams. this is caused by a lever mechanism which makes it pretty much impossible to fix.
it gets noticeably warm when at full clock. for comparison, the 11 year old Vita is similar in N64 performance, but remains completely cool.
and about N64 performance, there's definitely something fucky going on. it should run much better than the Vita at 4x the Vita clock. I'm guessing this is common to all chinkhelds though.
PSX runs great, and I prefer it over the Vita because it just uses Retroarch instead of needing special rom conversion software.
software wise there are a few things to iron out but I don't think it's worth mentioning because the CFW guys are still working on it.
the sleep mode is great, instant sleep/wake with a button press. I left it in sleep overnight and it didn't lose even 1% battery.

however there is one odd thing that really annoys me and it took a long time and a lot of experimenting to finally figure out what was going on: pressing diagonals is slightly harder than it should be, and it's because my thumb presses into the shell when trying to press a diagonal. I couldn't figure out why until I put a quarter on top of the d-pad and found that the little extra height made it easier to hit diagonals. if they had made the d-pad circular or just made a recessed area around it (like the Vita) then this would have been avoided. maybe it's just me though, I haven't seen anyone else comment on this.

vs Vita:

+ L2/R2 - even though they kinda suck, they are extra buttons for hotkeys.
- no touchscreen / back touch - I never used it on Vita, but at least it was an option
+ better screen - 720p looks great for 4th gen and earlier with sharp pixels. it also has a faster pixel response than Vita (less motion blur)
+ bigger battery - 5000mah vs Vita 2000mah
- higher power draw - it gets warm and can chug battery
- heavier, less ergonomic - it feels slightly heavier, and doesn't have as nice of a curve as the Vita
+ no need for hacks or sd adapter - fuck Sony
- worse PSP and no Vita games - Vita's library is mostly ports, but those are ports you won't be able to play on TSP
+ faster - everything loads faster. Vita has some hefty delay when loading any rom.

and I've gone back and tested the d-pad again because it's still bothering me, it's slightly too stiff, or slightly too small, something is off and it doesn't feel right like the Vita d-pad.

I find that L2/R2 work fine when you don't have to hold them. If you do however it's painful.
But while I don't think they can be totally fixed by replacing the button, having it be bigger will make them much more comfortable to use, and the added leverage will probably make it so that they require less force to push.

I'm not literally worried about breaking them so much as just the feeling. It can be hard to get a sense of that from videos and pictures, and when people talk about build quality with these devices they're almost always grading with a curve. The bar is low. The people that buy several different handhelds probably don't care as much, either. The market is competitive but I wish they would compete more on different margins. Obviously the higher end stuff usually fares better in build quality too, but for me the specs would likely be wasted. The Odin 2 looks nice and is tempting but it's probably excessive. I'll go that route if needed though.

Performance and compatibility weren't primarily what my post was about. There's a reason I winnowed down to the 2S and mentioned build quality. A lot of these handhelds share chipsets and raw performance, and in a number of comparisons where they don't the headroom is entirely redundant or wasted because there isn't much practical difference.

Good review. Most emulators run through cores, but they want to include standalone version in time that would make N64 perform better. As for the dpad I think this guy would agree since he is so into fighting games https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRE5ulofJOY&t=3307s would slicing a bit the sides in contact with the dpad ease the issue?

Does anyone know how much of a difference the RAM will make on the base Odin 2 compared to the upgraded models? The youtube reviews for all 3 models don't really do a good job at showcasing at one point the ram isn't strong enough to do XYZ.

base will be fine for gamecube and ps2. Some intense switch games require more than 8gb of ram right now but it's possibly because yuzu is in early development and could change, or could not. Another thing to consider is higher ram can be useful in the future as windows emulation on android is being developed and improved as time goes on.

You can already play n64 for like $40 if you get an r36s, dreamcast for a bit more. Really I think that section of the market doesn't need much improvement, ps2 emulation on a $150-ish handheld is the next goal to aim for in my mind.

I don't think so, the d-pad uses the shell to stay in place, there's not enough room to cut away. now I've changed my mind again and I think the d-pad issue is because the buttons are too hard to press, causing the d-pad to press further into the shell. and I think they are too hard to press because the d-pad is too small, and because there is a rubber pad between the d-pad and the buttons. it's infuriating because I also have a Trimui Model S and the d-pad is perfect on that, so they know how to make a good d-pad.

I think the 3DS would have been the ultimate handheld Nintendo would have designed the screens to have the right resolution to do a 2x integer scale when running DS games.

Here is a breakdown of what they needed to do:

DS Resolution:
256 x 192 (both screens)

3DS Resolution:
800 x 240 (top)
320 x 240 (bottom)

They should have made the 3DS resolution be 384 vertically (double 192), then reduce the horizontal resolution of the top screen to be 768, so that it would then be 16:9 (Great resolution for media)

The final 3DS resolution should have been:
768 x 384 (top)
512 x 384 (bottom)

This would be approximately twice as many pixels as the 3DS. Get rid of the 3D and the 3DS could probably support this with very minor improvements to the hardware.

The short answer is yes I like it, but there are certain things that really rev up my autism. The face buttons are hands down the best I've ever used on a handheld, but I dislike how fucking THICC the grip on this thing is. The 3 button Genesis controller was already thiccer than I prefer, but this puts that to shame. I swear this fills my hands more the my Steam Deck does.
>>10460824
It's playable if you really want often hovering at or close to fullspeed, but there are a lot of dips and audio crackles/stutters that really kill the smoothness the game is supposed to have.

The d-pad IS very good, it has to be my favorite d-pad I've used on a handheld outside maybe the one on the Vita. Unfortunately it still gets mogged pretty hard imo by the Saturn dpad. There are still things about it, such as the texture of the d-pad itself and the fact it sits so fucking high comparatively, that bug me. I've gotten used to it after playing around on it a bit, but it's something I would change in a follow-up along with making the thing thinner. The shoulder buttons are actually fine. I thought the hinge aspect was going to kill them for me, but nah it ended up not bugging me and they feel good to press. They're very soft, not clicky, and have a surprising amount of travel.
>Do you have to fuck around a lot with the mappings in the emulators, especially for non-Sega consoles?
In MAME I do, but that's true for my other handhelds as well. For games that require a diamond formation, number 2 (or 3 if you're playing snes) here is good and easy to swap to. I tried Crazy Taxi 2 like that and was surprised how fantastic sliding and boosting felt on this layout unfortunately the game ran like complete shit

probably, the issue is there is a lever which multiplies the force needed to activate the switch, so more leverage on the button part should help.

>>10460707
you don't even notice the disc part in use because the d-pad is raised up, so it feels like just a regular d-pad.

I just spent another hour fucking with the SP and mutilating it, I cut out one of the rubber grommets on the d-pad rubber and I'm not sure it did anything. I think it did, but it's hard to tell. when taken apart and outside the shell, the d-pad feels fine, but once it's in the shell, it's stiffer and mushier. I don't know what the fuck the problem is but it's super annoying.

TEASPOON BROS I FIX THE DIAGONALS

I tried this before, but the first time I did it I made the pads too big and it didn't work. this time I made them smaller and it works perfectly, the d-pad is easier to press, it doesn't push down into the shell, and doing circles easily hits every diagonal. there is one problem, if I push too hard it will press opposing directions. however I haven't had that be a problem so far, and it could be fixed by making another pad for the pivot point.

I used clear electrical tape layered 4 times and then cut into tiny squares, but if you do this yourself you should try with less than 4 layers because that's probably more than enough, I just don't feel like opening it back up for the 7th time to tweak it since it's working.

oh I forgot to say I think the reason diagonals were difficult in the first place is because of the shell, and that the d-pad had to press in too far to hit them. the shell prevents the d-pad from moving too much in either direction, and in the case of diagonals it restricts the d-pad even more.

The problem with PS2 is that 80% more power is necessary to run 20% more games from that system acceptably. Even Odin and Odin Lite couldn't do flawless PS2. All hope for improvements on the software side seems to be lost as well, dev abandoned the project and the last official version of AetherSX actually runs worse than NetherSX v1.6 from my experience, maybe he added some spyware that takes up resources in addition to ads.

Yeah 100% PS2 is obviously not happening in a small-mid sized handheld at a sane price. I'd be ecstatic with a D900, but a lot of people are demanding a D1200 minimum even though it's only been used in larger $300 handhelds so far.

Either the microHDMI port on my RP2S or the microHDMI adapter that I use broke. I had to record this in software and then edit out the parts where I switch the recording on and off and render the video, so it took longer than expected. Nevertheless, here it is.

IMO either of those will require active cooling of some sort, which is bad. D900 was only used with active cooling in Odin Lite AFAIK. People said that it didn't heat up there much at all and that active cooling was unnecessary in that device, but it was still a much larger handheld than something like RP3+. Even the T618 in RP3+ can get pretty toasty at times when emulating certain systems in extreme performance mode. We've actually already seen an actively-cooled T618 in Retroid Pocket Flip and the fan there was loud and annoying. With D1200 cooling is even more of an issue. Personally, if they add a fan I wouldn't accept anything short of Switch Lite-levels of noise. The fan in that handheld is basically inaudible, even if you use it in a completely silent environment.

I hate when color schemes are locked out of different pricing tiers. Still a ridiculously good value compared to anything else that has the same amount of power though, even without the case

>> No.10462080

>>10462058
It's a bold business practice, hope that even if people don't need the extra ram (which 95% of users will never need even 7GB) they'll shell out to get the next tier just for a different color. Usually I'd say consumers still have a general limit, but from what I've read online it seems people will be upgrading to the pro model a lot more.

If it was like $40 more I'd understand, but a $70 difference in a market where the majority of devices sold go for ~$100-125, it seems a bit of a slap in the face especially since you're now entering Deck territory. But yeah, the base model is still an insane price for the value, I just wish they didn't do this bullshit with the color schemes.

>> No.10462124

>>10462080
I don't really agree that they're in the market of $100-$125 devices, they're moreso competing with lower end windows handhelds at this point, but only for people who want emulation that's doable on android. As for the case colors, Retroid and AYN are known to sell replacement parts on their site, and even more parts if you just email them and ask. It could be possible to just try and get the color case you want separately and mod it yourself. Not ideal, but still a possibility. There's also wraps which are already being sold for the odin 2

>> No.10462145

>>10462124
They aren't in the market but they're still part of the overall market. The majority of handheld purchases up until now (with Odin 2 things may change, i doubt it) are $150 and below, and at that tier for emulation people get their choice of colors, etc. My point was that if someone was keen on a color with the Odin 2 that would be interested in spending more for a higher-tier emulation device, they aren't going to shell out $370 just for a non-black color because they're now way over their original budget. idk, it's hard to put it into words.

The color doesn't bother me enough to go buy external parts and do all that shit, but it would have been nice i suppose. There are just certain "luxuries" (or options? lel) that I feel like you need to give your customers when you're offering products that are considerably higher-cost than the average.

Anyways, I already have a black one ordered and I'm sure while it'll collect smudges, it'll still be a grand ol' time and that's all that really matters desu.

>What lower end Windows handhelds?
I guess I meant lower end linux/windows handhelds like the steam deck for one, while the odin 2 can't do ps3 or 360 emulation, it can do comparable ps2 and gamecube emulation with much better battery life and ergos than the deck. Once yuzu development improves it'll have that going for it too. Not a better choice for everyone but definitely enough to change the market a bit.

It's okay but it's also only $20. I like it mostly because it's one really fucking comfortable horizontal handheld, though the shoulder buttons are a little stiff for my liking.
