Also ZPD, despite being an adopted sister company to GKD, ended up being the chinkiest of the handheld companies. They're doing this "improved Xbox 360" d-pad design with ALL of their devices, not just the A1 Unicorn. Just avoid the fuckers and go with Powkiddy if you really feel the need to buy something cheap. At least Powkiddy actually has d-pads.

[Anonymous No.10596983]

>>10596982
Yes I will never not be upset about how they raped their own devices with this fucking d-pad design, especially how excited I was for the A1 Unicorn as the 1:1 screen device for me for months.

[Anonymous No.10596994]

On the topic of GKD, the Pixel looks so good. But keep in mind it's even smaller than the Miyoo Mini.

best universal aspect ratio

[Anonymous No.10597487]

>>10596869
Sonic Mania works great. Let me know if you need the compiled Plus executable.

No, unfortunately it can't be scaled to 1:1 like the retail game.

>>10597430
The display on the RGB30 is pretty stunning, probably the best on chinkhelds bar OLED. 720p is great and helps shaders despite the poor OpenGL support on Rockchips getting in the way sometimes like with the DMG/GBP/C shaders. The aspect ratio just lets you play whatever: TATE games, GB and NGP will be the first things in your mind but it also works well with DS, integer (over)scale NES and SNES, odd games like Castlevania x68k. Some people will even push 4:3 games to 8:7, which given your tolerance for Raidou and scaling shaders can actually look pretty decent. Absolutely love the thing, just wish it wasn't so cheap and so weak, it's a brilliant format that deserves better.

>>10597487
Yes, sonic mania and shredder revenge would be great please.

I have a small hope that the RG556 uses the same screen as the 552. The resolution and screen ratio is a good compromise as long as you intend to play only /vr/ games.
This time, battery issues would be avoided and the device would be powerful enough to handle easily shaders on any console.

Just bought my second handheld. First was a Miyoo from a few months back. Couldn't decide between this and odin 2, but odin 2 pro would have cost almost twice as much and I don't care about switch emulation much.

I didn't put much consideration into odin pro. It has worse performance than the rp4 pro in most cases I think and is a lot bulkier. If I got something bulkier I would want it to have better performance. Both probably good choices for 200 though

To the anon who asked how I got this look last thread:

It's a combo of the artifact colors shader (in the ntsc folder) enabling the blargg_ntsc_snes_composite video filter in the main video settings, and a custom scanline overlay I made specifically for 480p screens so that you don't get any weird scaling patterns

You don't really need the scanline overlay to get this but it adds a little something extra, I can link if desired

It's more likely to be Bazzite than Chimera. It has an immutable root like SteamOS. Can be configured to boot into either the desktop or Gamescope by default. It's based on Fedora Silverblue so it gets the latest kernels and drivers too. It also has a bunch of other extras included by default like decky loader and has an installation wizard for other common things people install on their decks. Aya could literally just add a decky plugin to enable their TDP controls (etc) in the default UI to the base image.

As the name implies it shipped with WIndows. You could install SteamOS on it but it doesn't work well. Bazzite actually officially supports the ROG Ally (but not the Win600). It still works better than HoloISO on it though.

steamdeck is just getting old at this point. over 2 years is ancient in terms of handhelds. the oled screen is nice but it's still 800p because the deck simply can't run games at 1080p. it's not powerful enough. it's not portable if the battery only lasts an hour or two. all valve can do is focus viral stealth marketing at specific target groups likely to be potential purchasers. "enjoy your chinese product" when the deck is literally made in china. "it can run ps3!" when the spreadsheets showing what ps3 games it runs are short and full of unplayable entries. "good luck if you need your product serviced" as if other companies don't try to help you at all if you have issues. "just buy the deck" and "i don't get it" is repeated often as a low intelligence logic-spam towards low impulse retards who can latch onto short, easy to understand statements. god forbid if you're here shilling the deck on your own accord without being paid, as if you aren't sucking the cock of a monopoly that basically ruined gaming and is the reason people come play /vr/ in the first place. inb4 a bunch of replies from owners of beloved steam decks

So today I learned that the PlayStation face buttons aren't actually "analog" at fucking all, they just have two switches each and allow you to half-press the buttons in to hit the one switch or push all the way to hit both.

You literally use the X button for the gas in GTA games. MGS2 plays retardedly on the Xbox because they had to implement some retarded control scheme where instead of just pressing X to crouch/crawl/stand you have to do some shitty button combination with a shoulder button.

It runs a decent chunk of 360, but there's a performance toll because Xenia has no native Linux build. Running Windows, you can get RDR to 60 (might be irrelevant now as of the Switch port, I don't know, I don't play that shit).

Sony still has "analog face buttons" even on the PS5 but I have to be honest, I haven't noticed any games since the PS2 that actually use them. Either a franchise changes its control scheme with time, like with the GTA series moving the accelerate/gas button from X to R1, or they're not used at all.
I can't even remember if Metal Gear Rising on the PS3 used them or not.

Everyone has their hobby. There is a distinct difference between the three people who
a) Knee-jerk purchase whatever they think will be popular just to "get theirs", a fomo response since 2016's Amiibo craze. See; People who brag about getting a Miyoo Mini and AT BEST play Pokemon Firered, Crystal, or Platinum on it (not even for an entire playthru) before getting bored and needing to buy the next popular thing. These guys did a midnight release of Tony Hawk's Underground.
b) Need to own everything. No matter how redundant it is, they buy every different model of every different device. This is not "collecting". This is straight up hoarding. They own every copy of every Tony Hawk game on every platform.
c) Are hobbyists and are genuinely fascinated with the products and how they're evolving/growing. They own like, THPS1 for the PS1, maybe THPS3 for the GameCube, THUG for the PS2, and Skate 2. Not buying EVERY chinkheld but also not just buying what's popular to not feel left out. But they do have some redundant plastic among their purchases.

It's definitely not 100% PS2 perfect, the RP4 Pro's chipset is basically on par with Ayaneo's Pocket Air where some games just will dip in terms of framerate no matter what resolution you use like GT3/GT4. But to say it isn't PS2 capable is a massive reach, I played SH2, SH3, Viewtiful Joe, and Yakuza 1 just fine on it. Some graphical glitches with Yakuza 1 where half the screen is tinted a different color, but that's more of an emulator glitch than a spec issue.

I actually watched through the video because I was curious and he said if you tweak the emulators then most games should run well. He opted not to do any tweaking aside from just installing the latest emulators because he wanted an "out of the box experience". And honestly I see a bit of where he's coming from since it would be great to have a device like the 'eck or rog ally that you can just drag and drop ROMs and start playing immediately. But I think for enthusiasts who are already in this hobby some minimal tweaking is expected.

I would happily argue the SF-2000 runs GBA and SNES. I would happily say the R35S/R36S runs DreamCast and N64. Not flawlessly, but games work well. Worst of it being is if you didn't update your SF-2000's firmware/have the original firmware that the original units shipped with, you need to load, exit, and re-enter GBA and SNES games due to a memory issue. But they still run without tweaking.

It's a "shitty game of semantics" to say "run PS2" = "run PS2 without tweaking". They are not even remotely the same.

D1200 is a very well known quantity from the GPD XD+ and Aya Neo Pocket Air, and even though they ran maybe 98% of PS2 at fullspeed, they still needed tweaking. A D1100 is a little under that.

[Anonymous No.10601381]

>>10601353
Didn't we already have this exact same discussion literally last thread?
There are levels and what different people mean and expect.
Can't run at all - As it says, can't run it at all.
Can load with major issues - This is where the trouble begins. The mere fact a title screen eventually loads with heavy tweaking will have some hobbyists arguing that the device can run the emulator. But of course what people want are the fucking games to run properly.
Many games "run", most need individual tweaking - This is where the proper divide begins, where if you have the knowledge and time you can get most games running at an acceptable level, but we need to be honest that the majority of people interested in video games, let alone people in general, aren't going to be bothered with that.
Most games are flawless, some need some tweaking - This is what is generally accepted as the area when people can safely say a device can run an emulator/system. Most are willing to accept some higher performance/unique titles will need individual tweaking, most famous examples being unique chip SNES games like Yoshi's Island and Star Fox (but in 2024 we're beyond whether a device can play SNES fully or not, Saturn and PS2 are the modern targets)
Perfect Emulation - The device just plays the entire library as good as emulation allows. No arguing what this means as it's so self-explanatory.

The major issue is out of the five degrees of emulation, thousands of individuals argue between level 2, 3, and 4 as "emulating a system". That's where the arguments come in, and most of us have moved beyond that upon acknowledging the difference. It's best to just straight up ask people to show themselves playing the game they claim performs well to get a proper understanding on what you expect and what the device actually delivers.

I felt like Bart Simpson except I DIDN'T cheat to get in. Lost whatever social contacts I fucking managed to forge in my elementary years because my mom insisted it was good for me and I was gifted etc etc. All it did was socially stunt me further and fuck me over connection-wise, which is what ultimately only matters. It's never what you know, but who you know, and being forced into "enrichment" raped my life.
The fuckers literally recommended it to my parents because I was bored and acting out in class, and when some sub teacher took me aside to test me with five pictures of a house with different positions of the sun, she asked me to put them in order and instead of doing the test as quickly as possible I asked her if the house was facing North or South.

[Anonymous No.10601923]

>>10601905
Portable to me means I can use it at work (night shift) without turning heads. I see people bring switches, but a giant fucking handheld pc would turn heads. Odin 2 is basically the same form factor as a switch. Also I have a laptop, I usually watch something on that while playing games. So a backpack with a laptop and odin is reasonable. A backpack with a laptop and steam deck is overboard. Steam deck was never an option for me. Odin 2 size is already pushing it. Money is not the point, other factors are.

[Anonymous No.10601931]

>>10601905
Truthfully I blame the Switch. I feel like we had a solid 20 year run where it was understood that "portable" meant you could take it anywhere with no hassle or consideration whatsoever, then Switch came along and (as much as I actually like the system) completely fucked up the definition of portable to just means "Hey, you can hold it and you don't gotta plug it in, right?"

Didn't mind it so much until I got pocketpilled after realizing my steamdeck was useless as a portable console considering I had to pack it like carry on luggage if I ever wanted to take it anywhere. Sold it, used the money to buy vertislop the size of a deck of cards, and now I go full pocketable or nothing

Problem is it's very easy to overpay for something you don't need and I think a lot of people are aware of that on some level thanks to exposure of common marketing tricks like McDonald's cookies (1 for $1.50 vs 13 for $5.50). I think you have to experiment yourself and it's different for each person based on what their needs are. I first bought a rp3+ and that was fine for me, but recognized that while at home I'd like to game on something more powerful and not just limited to emulators so I got a Rog Ally. I don't bring my Ally with me while traveling though, because I don't have time to play shit like Elden Ring and Yakuza on it. Instead I just stick to smaller bite sized android games or SNES - PS1 stuff, so my rp3+ still has a use case.

Small good. If I could get odin 2 performance is psp size device, with a little more ergonomics, it would be perfect. Psp felt so compact and great. Throw it in a carry on bag with a weekend worth of clothing and not even notice it. Small not necessary for home though. At home I have a full size keyboard and triple monitor with 2 desks in an L shape.

Retroid 3+ is on sale. What's the verdict on it? If i can run Metroid Prime 2 on it, I'd cum. Or if the Retroid 4 is a drastically huge upgrade from it, maybe wait and get that.

[Anonymous No.10604547]

>>10604473
4pro is pretty drastic, just not enough yet to warrant it if you have a similar device to the rp3+
it definitely does PS2/GC/3DS far better, but the hardware seems to have some kinks you might want them to iron out first before you commit
(fan noise, green display, chipset shit, optimization, etc)
rp4 base is a jump but imo not worth the price difference if you already have an rp3+ or if that sale youre seeing on the rp3+ is big enough imo

[Anonymous No.10604551]

>>10604547
The only device I have is an Anbernic RG353PS, but the Retroid 3+ looks like a nice upgrade at the discount price. I wasn't aware of the hardware issues on the Retroid 4.

>green display,

>>10604473
>>10604551
3+ is still a good device but many are moving theirs at a good discount if you're in any of the groups. I've seen them going for around 100 shipped, you could probably find similar on ebay but I haven't looked there. Definitely not worth 125+15 shipping though at this point. If you're buying from scratch I'd honestly rec the 4 or 4 pro depending on the level of power you need. Since it sounds like you want to do gamecube definitely go 4 or 4 pro

the Micro is neat, but the lack of native Game Boy/Color compatibility has always been the big thing keeping me from potentially hunting one down, well that and the fact that every time I look them up on eBay all the ones up for sale have had the utter shit scuffed out of them

[Anonymous No.10604663]

>>10604595
I dont really understand this. How does it matter if you need it at full speed for ps2? I'd say the noise has more to do with the geometry and size of the fan

It arrived, is legit, and works great. Swapped the SD out for a reputable 256gb, flashed GarlicOS and stuck the full Tiny Best Set collection on.
