>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)

>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.

It's fine, a little bulky but the d-pad might be a deal breaker with its overly sensitive diagonals. You can apparently address it with a simple tape mod.

The novelty of booting games from cartridges wears off quickly when you can just sideload everything, if you get too reliant on common emulator features or modern device features like suspend points, savestates, sleep mode, the Pocket might not be that great for you.

It does do a really good job of just playing Game Boy games though, and many other things, but it's also pretty expensive and hard to get ahold of.
The screen is admittedly really, really nice anyway, as is the HDMI dock + 8bitdo controller set-up.

There's another FPGA GBC system coming up in December called Chromatic.
It's strictly GB and GBC only though, with a 160x144 display, and still costs $200.

Phones are surprisingly shit at playing games. I tried both an old Sony Xperia M2 and a newer HTC U12+ (relegated them to secondary tasks after I replaced them). Bad control scheme (virtual on-screen buttons will never be better than physical ones, and grips/clips are cumbersome), small batteries, and a large part of system resources taken up by various communication-related processes.
Pretty much the only genuine use case for a phone is emulating DS/3DS on a folding one.

[Anonymous No.11042521]

This may have made sense a while ago when it was just the Pocket around, but there’s more and more cheap handhelds around with roughly the same aspect ratio that can do GBC stuff and more like the Powkiddy RGB30/20SX. If they want FPGA to play original carts there’s the FunnyPlaying GB kit for way less, and if they aren’t a stickler for asupecto raidous then they could grab an R36S for basically nothing. I don’t know who the market for this product is besides guys who love taking pictures of title screens.

More accurate to compare it to the Vita's but like the other anon said, not everyone thought the PSP/Vita placement was perfect either.

I did. The SF2k is unironically better. Played through the first world of Donkey Kong, a game I've played a lot, it was fine. A few slow downs but its only autistically bad. The R36 on the other hand actually cramps my hands. So you need to buy a $10 grip or dust of the ol' 3d printer. Not to mention all the autism around the sd cards. SF2k is just comfy and works. Its also a thing of beauty, look at the back it looks like its sticking a tiny tongue out.

If you don't really care about N3DS exclusive games, there's not that much reason to go and grab one. There's only a handful of games that make use the increased hardware for shorter loadtimes or better textures/framerates like Monster Hunter 4U, and only a handful of games use the new built in buttons to act as a built in Circle Pad Pro. It can be better for emulation and homebrew, but at that point it can be argued that you can grab a chinkheld for less, and with a much better screen at that.

Second SP arrived. The gap on the ribbon cable is quite noticeable on transparent models, but to my surprise there's also a visible gap on the hinge mechanism on the right, whereas the grey's only showed on the left's. Smooth touch to it which is odd, usually the transparent models are grippier.

I would have really appreciated handheld access to my immense Steam library, though. I have a lot of games that I know I would play more if I was comfy on the couch.

I originally ordered the DMG scheme, but regretted it when I saw someone post a photo of the clear green last thread. They were nice enough to change my order when I emailed them, which was awesome.
I was thinking DMG for this since I'll mostly be playing GB/C/A games on it, and then the Super Famicom scheme if I got an 4 later on after liking this enough, but I realized that's gay and I should treat this as if I was buying an official handheld. I'd be getting the clearest, most ridiculous color of a GB if it was released tomorrow. Getting a vanilla pretendo device felt inauthentic.

TSP seems to a have gone through more than a few revisions.

Early units had green PCB daughterboards, no copper sheet, tape, blue pad, speakers still faced sideways and I assume whatever the trigger issue was.

Another revision had black colored PCB used for the daughterbaords, copper sheet, tape, blue pads, and I assume the triggers were fixed.

Then they released another with the speakers facing downward instead of sideways, and a new black pad along with the blue.

This is just going by the images I found on Google.

How are my fellow smartphone brothers doing? I'm personally doing well now that I've found an amazing solution to one of my main issues with this setup... which is simply to have a 4:3 title on a 19.5:9 screen. I mean, if I go with black bars, it looks ridiculous with that much negative space, this 25cm wide device combination with about 10cm being actual screen... so I just stretched it.

Here's the thing though... you know how there's this effect that's often used to display 4:3 videos in 16:9 and especially vertical videos in 16:9? It's this thing where the video's content zoomed in and blurred to filled up the borders, and I always liked it, but it looked like a video editing tool and not something I could have while playing... then I found the bigblur.glslp shader, and I'm loving it.

One thing that bothered me was how there was no shadow effect for the window with the actual content, since the colors often blended with the blurred borders I though it'd be nice to have, so I did it myself by creating an overlay on GIMP and https://valent-in.github.io/retropad-editor/ for RetroArch, and it worked! What sucks is that you have to do it for every resolution you'll need...

Anyways, it was simple to do, and you don't really need it, you can always just have black bars, or a simple blur effect without a shadow around the window of content... or you can just stretch it as I've always done before this. One more reason I like this is because CRT shaders and scanlines, on a smartphone screen, never look right due to its size, so I can use this over a CRT shader just fine.

Not at the moment, it really looks like a superb controller and probably the one to get if any of you reading this are shopping for a controller for your smartphone right now... but I've already got one, even if it's worse and cheap, it works and, as I live in a 3rd world country with tons of taxes, it would be quite expensive for me compared to a cheaper one like the one I currently own really.

I plan on changing my setup to a tablet in the future too, since my laptop's on it's last legs and I've grown fonds of tablets thanks to my GF, so I might get a tablet controller by IPEGA later on. I'll probably give my GF my current controller if, or when, that happens, since RetroArch's finally on iPhone now, so emulating will be a lot easier for her too.

comes down to the firmware. if it can run the same systems with the same performance as the SP, it will be better solely due to the fact that it has fucking ANALOG STICKS.
I bought an SP to replace my V90 and I fucking hate it honestly. It's only good for consoles up to PS1, which is what the V90 can do for 20 dollars cheaper. the SP's "dpad as analog" idea works until you need to make micro movements in something like mario 64, then it's a piece of shit. you can map n64 C buttons to X, Y, L2 and R2 but this becomes awkward if you're playing a game where the C buttons are heavily used for camera movement. I should have gotten an RG35XXH but I was too drawn into the clamshell of the SP. I've been using my V90 way more than the SP because the squishy buttons and dpad are better than the SP's clicky buttons and I like that it's smaller. the SP will probably sit around as a paperweight.

It's tough because everything is subjective and there is no perfect device. My head canon is under $60 miyoo or if you want abernic, the 35xxh, or just buy a bunch of r36s. There's a ton of competing abernic shit at $100-150, but at that point you might as well get the 556 on sale and deal with the shitty joysticks. At $200 you have the pocket 4 pro and then above that price you're going with an odin 2 or deck.

Every device has flaws so that they can release another device in six months that fixes the a flaw but creates new ones.

Sure but 3,5 inches just isn't enough for many systems playable on the Analogue, especially because the games will take up a lot less space than that unless you're okay with stretching and squeezing your games to hell and back since it's not a 4:3 screen. It's just a lot of wasted potential without a way to hook it up to a bigger screen. I'll just wait and see if the mister clones can deliver on their promises and what happens with the Analogizer, the dock really seems like the least interesting option.

Additionally, does anyone know how to get Easy RPG working? It came natively on the CrossMix OS I'm using for the TrimUI but I can't get any of my seemingly older RPG Maker games (I know it's 2k or 2k3 only) to work.

Stay.

Your chinkheld isn't retro either. Unless it was made before the retromini.

>Besides those oddly specific questions, would anyone happen to know where basic game saves go in the TrimUI Smart Pro? I'm only finding .srm files in my SAVES folder, when my games, (gbc for example) have .sav files that don't seem to work there
Just change file name from sav to srm and transfer to retroarch folder. It will work

Been away from the scene for a year. Is there an ArkOS update or even another firmware that actually does proper sleep mode for rk3566 systems?
Really want to take my RG353V with me rather than my MM

gonna say why? I've been loving the instant shutoff with autosave on exit and load. Finally something to replace my old miyoo

What's wrong with it? It's probably fixable.

I hear it's a perfect fit, zero clearance for lifting once it's down. Haven't taken mine out of the box.

One is a fightstick shell that folds up in the middle like a lunchbox for extra portability

The other is a reproduction of the OG Xbox Duke that has a built in screen that's just for some splash animations

And I wanna try and fit a computer inside them.
For the Duke I'd ideally find a way to use the built in screen as the main display, making it a handheld. For the stick I'd probably just use those display glasses

OH NO WHITE DS BROS WE GOT TOO COCKY

[Anonymous No.11056695]

Is it possible to remove hotkey controls in RetroArch for the TSP? I can't find an option that seems to want me to do so for whatever reason. When I hold nothing it defaults to something else.

[Anonymous No.11056706]

Goddamn it, my Powkiddy RGB20SX finally arrived in my town but Ali isn't showing which delivery center has it. At least it arrived in about a week.

[Anonymous No.11056715]

>>11056695
Just go to the hotkey section in Retroarch, manually remove them, and the Save Current Config.

Which color?

I'm not seeing any options to remove/blank out the hotkeys, is the thing. When I click one whichever hot key it gives me 5 seconds to hold down a button I want to swap it to, and even if I hold nothing it gives it a default. I would like to be able to remove some of the hotkeys but I seemingly can't find out how to do that just yet.

well i got the mig back at launch and played the game then using a cert from a labo cartridge, didn't play online but was connected to wifi so all the tracking stuff still gets sent and i wasn't banned then either but i know others have been, i saw some pic on gba temp saying using certs from other games = ban but im assuming that whoever got that ban used the same cert ffor multiple games on their console. i have bought labo games and dumped certs so i have one for each game i want to play i think that should be safe its like gateway on the 3ds
