A thread for the discussion of (chinese clone) handhelds.

>Links
Retro sizer https://retrosizer.com/
Retro handhelds spreadsheet https://pastebin.com/ZyqXr19r (embed)
SoC Comparison https://versus.com/en/mobile-chipset

>Where to buy
Aliexpress, gogamegeek, litnxt, keepretro, mechdiy, Anbernic/Retroid official websites

>Best Brands
Retroid (Well built, powerful, but $100-200 range), Anbernic (Balanced price, power and build quality, avoid the RG Nano), Powkiddy (Cheap, low quality builds, interesting shapes), Miyoo (One hit wonder), TrimUI: (Good build quality, shitty software, good price).

>What do I buy
Post your preferences: Money (20$ - 300$), Shape (horizontal, vertical, clamshell, square), Pocketable or not, OS (Linux, Android, Both), Systems (Pre PSX is 8, 16, and 32-bit eras, PSX with extras, Dreamcast and N64, PSP and DS, PS2 and GC/Wii capable)

>Recommended
Prices depend on when and where you buy.
- Retroid Pocket 4 (200$, horizontal, 4.7" 16:9 Screen, up to PS2/GC, android)
- RG556 (180$, horizontal, 5.8" 16:9 OLED Screen, up to PS2/GC, android)
- Retroid Pocket 2S (100$, horizontal, 3.5" 4:3 Screen, can play some PS2/GC, android, pocketable)
- Powkiddy RGB30/RGB20SX (90$, horizontal, 4" 1:1 Screen, PSX with extras, linux, pocketable)
- Trimui SP (60$, horizontal, 5" 16:9 Screen, PSX with extras, linux)
- Anbernic RG 35XX Plus (60$, 3.5" 4:3 Screen, PSX with extras, linux, pocketable)
- Miyoo mini plus (60$, 3.5" 4:3 Screen, PSX with extras, linux, pocketable)
- R36S (50$, vertical, 4:3 screen, PSX with extras, linux, pocketable)

>Before you buy
- Handhelds come with low quality SD cards. Back them up, throw them away, buy new ones.
- It takes some tinkering. You better have bare basic desktop knowledge on how to unzip files and put them in folders. We are not here to teach you how.
- Overall quality of these products is very cheap.
- Reviewers get free handhelds, caveat emptor.

I am torn between the RG35XX SP and the RG28XX... but I JUST got this V90 today at a thrift store for $20 CAD, I like it but the speakers/sound quality are complete ass.
I would definitely play the RG28XX more than I would the RG35XX SP... and it's like $20 cheaper right now...

I still can't believe ETA Prime was fucking stupid enough to make a video telling people how to turn their chinkheld into an actual explosive, even ignoring how his advice could have led to the harm of his viewers who took the advice and then had the fucking thing explode in their hands/in their face, it's actually a federal offence to give instructions on how to makeshift transform "common items" into an explosive. Fuck lawsuits from idiots who were mutilated by his advice, he can go to jail for straight up terrorism, taking the video down and apologizing means fucking nothing lmfao
Seriously though, how fucking retarded do you have to be to innocently suggest physically connecting a battery to a CPU with a heat sink that will just share the heat between the battery and CPU rather than disperse/remove it. He basically told his audience to take a metal pole and just hold it against power lines with your bare hands.

He made a video where he suggested using a copper heatsink that fits right in the big gap between the battery and the CPU that makes the battery squish the copper heatsink against the CPU, transferring the heat between the battery and the CPU directly to each other. He took the video down when his community told him he just gave instructions on how to make it into a literal explosive.

I am thinking about buying the RG35XX SP when it gets a revision though, because the GBA SP was my favorite handheld ever. (Hopefully it gets one that fixes its main issues)

I haven't changed the batteries but I also haven't been an idiot who lets them fully discharge/drain. I have manually updated the firmware though.

Ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I disagree.
I'm not a mindless consoomer, I got the devices I need. I'm somewhat lying through my teeth but hear me out I'm not that anon. I don't need more ewaste because I lament even buying food because of the environmental impact and the incoming nuclear winter but I will say that absolutely purchasing things is a hobby. You just need to do it under the right umbrella and be focused. Look at /co/ shelf threads, rebbit or even /lit/ haul threads. Vidya moves so fast the most you'll get is a tanned arm and a copy of folklore on PS3.
You put enough energy into it, pick a niche and knuckle down and you got it. Look at the famiclone chu/ad.
My perfect device is two fold. It's a 5.5" PS2 device RETRO BTW and a 6.25" PS3 deviceawaiting my 3 day non retro ban again jannies.

I'm happy with my meagre TSP, R36S and not happy with my RGB30 fuck that plastic piece of shit and it's broken battery.
but I can see how collecting things is a hobby. I need only look towards SBC and the 100 images of the FF VII kitase cocksuckers to know it is before even considering the shelf faggots etc in other hobbies or even the weirdo I want digital discrot retro collectobros who are so desperate to dominate the arena to know it has reached hobby status.
I am not interested in purchasing a digital hand grenade from ambernig because I have no enemies.

I have a comf psvita to play PSP and PSX and it plays games before that. A 3DS/N3DS/3DSXL/DSi XL to play other RETRO games before that and a chinkshit trimui with working sleep mode.
My dream device is likely a smol steamdeck but that doesn't exist so I won't consoom because it's imaginary.

If you don't like it, I'd say don't sour yourself on mana entirely if you don't get into it and at least try secret/trials before writing them off.
Ishii isn't the most consistent director at SE but he's good enough to give a 2nd chance on lol. Secret of Mana is at least up there besides chrono trigger & FF V imo.

It's kinda in the same boat as the FF spinoffs that were accessible, only it wasn't done by SE.
I get it tho, handheld wise there weren't a lot of great offerings for RPGs or JRPGs. You had SaGa and like....Mana 1.0 lmao and even then SaGa is the one that remains for gameboy until Pokemon swept up.
By the time GBA rolled around SE were releasing ports too aside from sword and your only other options were like...last bible/SMT/DC.

I'd still give baby's first handheld RPG to pokemon hands down.
And I'm not ignoring DQ but they were nowhere as near as pronounced/popular in the west. Even now if you look at it Golden Sun still stands out.
That's not me pooping on those games, I love SaGa & SaGa 2 but they're just not baby's first RPG in the same sense that Pokemon was. When you move towards eh.....ARPGs ye, there's also the zelda games depending on your mood so I do get it.

I agree. Some FF spinoffs especially in the early days are fucking supreme, especially ones with FF1-3 staff. Going farther beyond, 3-5 staff collabed on some hot 6th and 7th gen games.

FFTA is canon but not canon. As in, it's not matsuno, not ivalice (4real). Minagawa worked on it, some quest staffed worked on it but like most of the ivalice alliance it was too far gone.

I've used one of those to charge mine several times and seems fine, but I try to use the real charger when I can because I don't know how exact the voltage is.

Upon power on, the system will autoboot into the last game and resume the auto savestate. To enable this mode, select Enable Quick Mode from the Options>Advanced menu section in Emulationstation.

Trees work together all the time, often times entire forests are actually interconnected at the roots and are nearly one giant organism.

Trees often have seed dispersal techniques to get their seeds far away from their shade(floating seeds, flying seeds, exploding seeds)

Sometimes trees sacrifice themselves for their children. Pine tree seeds grow best after a fire, the tree evolved to let itself be burned down to provide space and good soil to it's seedlings.

The trees you're describing only exist in non-white countries, everyone knows non-white anything is more violent and less enlightened.

Golden Sun is an archetypical game even though it didnt set any of those archetypes. It has everything you expect from a JRPG. There is basically zero subversive energy in it. Even Dragon Quest dared to play with expectations by doing double "is god the bad guy" twists with something like DQ7.

Its a lot like FF1 in that regard, just for a newer generation. Its babbies first JRPG in the most positive sense possible. The same qualities just make much less interesting for genre veterans.

i love that it doesnt tell you how tall it is. i'm also worried if solder can even stick to metal parts, i've dealt with batteries before where it was impossible to get solder to connect
by capacity logic i think it's too tall to fit. it's 3500mah which is huge for having only 18.5mm width. my current battery is 2500mah and it's 5x60x70 in size and it fits perfectly in the UMD door slot. if this one even bigger, but smaller on width, then to compensate i'd guess it'd be like 10mm tall or some stupid shit

You're not supposed to continue charging if you feel the heat. This is why I use low 0.5A chargers on my phones, takes longer to charge, but it doesn't heat up. Heat is bad for battery health. I don't care what you say about your 'fast chargers' memes, but one thing is certain, battery doesn't like heat, and when shit is hot to the touch during charge it's fucking bad. Period.

Yeah, until we get more than one guy named "trumpbiden4jail" reposting the same exploded product multiple times, I'm not too hard pressed to believe mine'll blow up anytime soon.

I just feel like this is the perfect phone for emulating an SP. I was looking into getting some old carts but you can't even get DW3 for less than $60 on gbc. Emulating GBA/ GBC shouldn't be too much drain.

Dude thanks for this rec

I'm only a couple of hours in, but I'm blown away - the music, the visuals, the writing - it's amazing so far.

Makes me wonder how this isn't so much more popular, unless the game nosedives later

Also helps that I played through Legacy of Goku before this, which wad absolute fuckin trash and the contrast is unreal

Well...mine cost about $163.36. I think the cheapest thing to get was the original SP in poor condition.

This has zero bearing on the cpuxbattery issue. This is just a dumbass with a possibly explosive battery that would have happened on any other device.

I have a Galaxy S Flip5 and, just fucking yesterday, the screen or the "built-in" screen protector started to crack along the middle. These phones are fucking trash and I felt gyped within an hour of getting mine six months ago. I specifically got it for DS/3DS emulation but then got a fucking phat DS and R4 for pennies a month later and don't do anything with my flip besides taking calls with it/playing Pokemon Go.
