Try hwtest on your card. It'll tell you if its counterfeit or damaged.
Probably unrelated, but I reflashed my SD once for updating Crossmix for my TSP and it just wouldn't boot anymore with the card plugged in. Turns out I had to completely purge the SD (as in, zero out every single byte, which took more than an hour) before flashing.
Not sure how you can do this on windows.

To anyone that has both RP4P and Odin 2 Mini or just the Odin 2 Mini, how is the O2M? I have the RP4P but suddenly today I was struck with the notion that I might need more. There are like 5 PS2 and GC games that don't play well on the RP4P and extended time with 6th gen and up warms the system pretty quickly sometimes. It's a really flimsy reason for an upgrade so I'm trying to talk myself out of it. As for why a Mini and not a normal 2, I prefer more pocketable systems.

I like my mini alot. Despite the d-pad position I find the ergonomics to be great for 2d stuff like DKC and the sticks feel premium as fuck compared to joycon.
Its hard for me to reccomend if you already own something like an RP4P though. You are getting a cpu that can conquer dolphin and aethersx2 but for $350+ you aren't getting a whole lot of new functionality unless you are a devout vita enjoyer and can appreciate the novelty of a near-faithfully recreated vita with steroid specs

I should add that the display does have some uniformity issues. The vignetting is obviously real and the backlight under ~50% brightness gets uneven and at really low brightness I'd even say it doesn't look good.
On the flip side, the screen has a contrast ratio almost as good as it can get without being oled, so 4:3 games with black bars look good because there is no backlight bleed on those bars. Also since its not oled there's no need to stress about burning in UI from games

>just get an external battery
My Samsung 20k mAh extender weighs more, and is only slightly smaller than, my TSP. And, when you draw the line, you end up with phone+extender+grips, versus phone+chinkheld. How is the former more convenient than the latter?

I like the RP2S a lot. Well calibrated sticks, quality d-pad, face buttons don't feel as stellar but still a pretty fantastic little package. Might get obsoleted by the Mini but it's looking like it'll cost quite a bit more with each reveal.

In other news, it seems chinkhelds are about to hit a generational leap by widely adopting OLEDs. MagicX's partner company or whatever Vintage Control promises 4" 1080p OLED with above D900 performance for under $150.

Odin 2 Mini is a fantastic device and I haven't touched my RP4Pro since I got it. Better ergos, much nicer screen, lower input lag, its a upgrade in every way.

Depends if you only care about ergos. RP4P is so far may favorite compromise between pocketability and ergonomics, >>11187927 is right that the RP2S has great buttons but imo unless you use the grip you're going to find it pretty uncomfortable during long play sessions. I don't think anything beats the RP2S's analog sticks but that shouldn't be the only thing you get it for. The 405M is another compromise one I like but the triggers aren't stacked so it's not as fun for games that rely on them.

Despite being quite satisfied with my TSP (except for a few quirks, but I guess those will have to wait for a new CrossMix version), I'm kinda hankering for an Android device.

As someone who uses a smartphone and a cheap telescopic controller as my setup, I'd say people do it for a few reasons. A lot of them don't have an older smartphone laying around to turn into a handheld exclusively, and often they don't want their smartphone to also be their handheld, for the sake of the battery, and also to separate the device that's for work, and one that's for playing.

Also, not everyone has a beast smartphone, and often these have aspect ratios way wider than a 16:9 screen, so you get a lot of negative space. I like my setup, but dedicated handhelds are fun.

buying a cheap used phone is already a nightmare. bare minimum you have to change the battery, and probably will end up spending more on that and a controller than a retroid pocket 4 pro.

Indeed, I mostly recommend this setup to people like me that had an old smartphone without any real use for it, that'd like to give it new life. An old smartphone you already have, and a cheap controller, can be a very cheap, yet also very powerful, setup, even if a bit niche still.

My guy, it's been very well-known and even public that Anbernic shills.
I love my RG35XX, but am hyper-critical of the RG Nano being the shittiest nano handheld on the market (and it's literally just a worse FunkeyS without the novelty of the FunkeyS, being a teeny GBA SP). And Anbernic is really really mad that my RG35XX suffices and I haven't felt any need to buy any of its four re-iterations.
I still plan to buy an RG28XX tho, that shit looks fantastic for GBA without all the issues of an actual GBAmicro. I would totally be interested in an inbetween of the RG Nano and RG28XX, with the RG28XX's proportions and hardware but in a vertical shape.

Help me anon

Im very very on the fence on a device.

I want something to play during commute, travels or waiting time. I want to get off myself from constant degeneracy of social media on my phone and just escape with retro vidya.

I wont have time to play all of the games, but because I'm missing out so much on old console games (too poor for a ps2 or GC at one point of time) that i’m looking at higher specs. (retroid pocket 4 pro, rg cube, 405v, ayaneo, Powkiddy x28) also i can have all the games below the switch since i already own one.

At the same time due to foreseeing i will have very minimal usage, i was thinking of a cheaper devices too. (35xxsp, miyoo mini or 40xxv).

Any suggestions?

[Anonymous No.11192319]

The best choice is the RP4P
- keep away from anbernic, their qc is shit, they release too much device compared to their resources so don't expect any issue to be resolved if it's not the latest.device (dont think about support but actual design problems)
They can't even solve their charging issues for years, not mentioning recent teardowns shown that they forgo literal sub 1$ parts in their charging circuits responsible for safety, if you are unlucky the device draws more power from chargers that it is capable of handling and the end result is nasty. Also they pay reviewers and reddit mods, so every review have to be taken with a pinch of salt or more
- Ayaneo is reputable, they are recommended but they command a high price of course.
- Retroid also great, don't rush shit out, their prices are good. You may want to look at the new RPMini, as it will be qualcomm SoC, it will have less compatibility issues with the emulators, itf it's not your taste, go for the RP4P
Keep in mind, PS2 is a bitch, there are titles (nascar games for example) which play shit on even an odin 2, best to look at gameplays on youtube to see if the RP4P perf will be enough for you

>The CC sense circuit can't tell the difference between an e-marked USB C cable and a device that needs power (like a gamepad). Usually a USB C port can tell when a device that needs power is connected, because the device pulls one of the CC pins low with a 5.1K resistor. An e-marked cable actually does something very similar, but it does it with a 1K resistor, resulting in a lower voltage. Usually, you can distinguish between the two by measuring the voltage on the CC pins directly. Both of these situations will turn off transistor Q1, leaving the CC_sense line high. The circuit isn't actually measuring the voltage, so it can't tell the difference.

>It's this second issue that's the potentially dangerous one: if you plug an e-marked USB C<->C cable into the RG35XX Plus, it detects this as an external device being plugged in, and happily supplies 5V to the USB C port. Critically, it does this even if there is a charger on the other end of that cable - something a USB device absolutely should not do. What happens next can vary a fair bit depending on how accurately the RG35XX Plus and the charger actually define 5V, and how the circuitry is designed. In some cases, nothing happens - the charger wonders why on earth it's being fed 5V, and either just sits there, or turns off. In other cases the two 5V supplies "fight", and high current can wind up flowing through components that were never intended to handle it. Usually this means they heat up, sometimes to the point of failure. There have been reports of some chargers completely destroying some Anbernic devices - I'd now say odds are pretty good that this process is what happened to them.

[Anonymous No.11192574]

>>11192573
>So - how to we avoid this happening to our devices? Well - don't use e-marked USB C<->C cables. I don't think this problem should ever be present in chargers that have a USB C cable tethered to them (permanently attached), but don't know enough about their implementation to be sure. Instead, my advice would be to avoid the chance of the RG35XX Plus thinking your charger is device to be powered entirely, and always use a USB A<->C cable. USB A ports physically don't have the CC pins, and so a USB A<->C cable usually has a built in pullup resistor to tell the USB C end that it can supply power. They definitely don't have a pulldown resistor like the e-marked C<->C cables though, which is what the RG35XX Plus misinterprets as a device.

https://old.reddit.com/r/ANBERNIC/comments/1f1iun2/an_explanation_of_the_usb_c_charging_issues_on/

So yeah, never let these unattended or charging overnight, never trust specs to be respected and stick to low power bricks and USB A to C.

The poor people are using android argument was never valid in the last 10 years at minimum for multiple reasons.
Actually that argument is mostly paraded around by the lower classes in the western societies, they worship the iphones for this, as they want to look rich.
Similarly the other groups are who are worshipping it as a token item of richness are the thirdies and middle eastern places like qatar or the emirates as they want to show off or look richer than they are.
If there is a disticntion, it is imbeciles are running around iPhones usually more frequently as the celebrities and clout have bigger influence on them. "JUST LIKE MY FAVOURITE CELEBRITY"
A lot of retards running around with droids as well, but less tech illiterate people use them because ghose people see restrictions of iOS and the low price to value ratio more insulting.
High end android phones are in the same price bracket as apple ones at least for a decade or more at this point, so the whole riches vs poors are more of an assumption by low class tards and thirdies.

Apple is valued more because its centralized software is better crafted and more secure than android which has to accomodate all kinds of customizability. Android is simply less stable, which is both to its credit in that you can do more with it and to its detriment in that it breaks down more easily and can't be as secure. Most people don't need to deal with that and instead opt for a sure thing that already does everything they need and more. Apple is simply higher quality than android because it can be but for some reason this fact triggers a lot of androidtroons.

I thought about that too but if you want a small piece of shit Windows handheld (which I did but it's too shit) then I recommend something like a mini laptop instead because those just work better. I have a GPD Pocket 3, it's cute and plays the games I need it to play. You can look up videos of the games it's capable of playing (for some "higher end" ones like Fallout 4 the pc fan is louder than the game lol) but it did an admirable job of playing Hajimari no Kiseki scaled down to basically Switch resolution, which was basically my test for how much it can do out of what I want from it. Those "higher end" games will drain battery relatively quick (only about 2 hours for Haji) but it surprisingly didn't heat it up to high hell since it wasn't plugged in. Anything in the lower range like Thief Gold works great. It has a touch screen too so you could conceivably rotate it to portrait and play DS like that.

I just got my RP4P on Monday, wasn't sure at first but GC runs so smoothly on it, 1.5x res with 4x AA, and the device barely heats at all. This is pretty much all I need so far. I'd only care if RP5 had Switch, but this is a tall order because of both hardware AND software. Pretty sure PS3/X360 etc will be out of reach too, so why bother?

Requires a 3rd party OS called CrossMix, needs the performance mode to be switched off (otherwise it wastes battery and heats up the device), and the CPU frequency files (for several emulator profiles) need to be tuned down (they are set way too high for some of the older emulators, again high heat and power drain). The RetroArch version which comes with it is missing some bios and cores, need to download/add them to their respective folders.
Also, several Portmaster games aren't yet fully compatible with it, since the device is relatively new, and only recently got added to the supported devices list.

I put it on medium performance mode, the fan runs very quietly, you can't even hear it unless your room is absolutely silent. And I'm the kind of guy who hates loud fans. If you ABSOLUTELY hate fans, lower performance mode lets you turn it off completely, though GC runs worse as result. I don't even know why they force you to turn on the fan anyway, anything under 50 degrees is super low for a CPU

Never use the stock SD card. It's some dodgy-ass noname with non-conformant speeds (way lower transfer speeds than the specs written on it). Clone it and put it away.
Also, don't use cable connect. TSP is somewhat temperamental when it comes to SD card corruption, and using cable connect increases that risk.
Get a half-decent SD card reader (Baseus or UGreen) and wait for a couple minutes after fully shutting down the device, before extracting the card.

True, but I don't think anybody created a halfway-comprehensive one, and I'm too lazy.
Regarding the cpufreq.sh/performance.sh files, you can search for "tsp-optimization" on github. That's where I got my info. Worth noting, though, that some launch.sh scripts don't mention the cpufreq/performance files. According to another anon in an older thread, those need to be called in the launch script to take effect. So I had to manually edit the launch scripts to add a call for said file(s), where present (some emulator launch script folders don't even have them in the first place).

With the size of the screen the 0.75x res isn't too offensive so at the very least there's some lower end games you can play. Also check out "retroid pocket 4 [system] gameplay" videos to see what else might work.

The way I see it, if the chinks were smart. They'd sit on the 4P for a few years. Look at the people porting gta3 to Dreamcast, tomb raider to GBA, N64 on PSP, psx on MiSter, etc... Given a little time and ingenuity, they can refine the software to get better performance from the hardware and only slightly tweaking the existing hardware and selling those until newer gen cards and components cause existing ones to go down in price. Then the RP5 can be way more powerful and it will feel justified to buy.

They're not, but 3.7" is pretty smol. My thought process is if I can cope with that size, I want the Mini, but if I can't, I'll defer to the RP5. The smart thing to do would be to just get the RP5 and ignore the Mini, but the Mini looks so much more appealing to me outside of the smol screen.

I like the design too but I can tell you as a RP4P owner that I really couldn't care less about the black bars in 4:3 games, however 16:9 games on a square screen drives me up the wall. Never had an issue playing old shit on it and when you're immersed enough in the game you'll realize that muh black bars is just normalgroid cope, plus the wider form is more comfortable to hold imo. My suggestion would be to get a sub-$100 device for 4:3 if you really need it to fill the screen since most 4:3 games like PS1 and under will run just fine on the RK3566 devices plus those have more varied and arguably more interesting builds like the Arc.

I wonder if Anbernic updated their OS or something. The 353m is handling SA2 a lot better than the videos I'd seen from a year ago. It's completely playable and has no audio stuttering. There are still a couple slowdowns, but not nearly as bad as I had seen.

So far this thing is just about living up to the hype with some minor gripes here and there. Can't tell of the screen is a bit washed out or if I'm just spoiled by an OLED screen.

>get back to me when the trimui smart pro turbo super extreme is out
They could try to build on TSP's reasonable success and go for a mid-end device, but there are a couple obstacles.
TrimUI is owned by Powkiddy, who already tried their hand at some higher-powered devices. However, either nobody bought them (RGB10 Max 3 Pro), or weren't as good as the competition (X28). So Powkiddy might be reluctant to allow another go at that segment. Especially if it might cannibalize buyers away from its own lines.
Also, in order to maintain the good emulator reputation they acquired with TSP, TrimUI would have to go for a hexa-core which *doesn't* use the same tired old Mali-G52 GPU. TSP's main advantage over its direct competitors is the PowerVR 8300, which has better emulator interfacing compared to Mali GPUs. All hexa-cores using either PowerVR or Adreno GPUs are more expensive than Mali-based ones.

It's a bit disappointing that their hypothetical project Eagle amounted to nothing.
I just want something to play up to 5th gen, but every device until now is somehow flawed, even more if I want to use shaders.
RP2S would have been almost perfect, especially in that price range, if the screen wasn't so small.
There is no way that the upcoming mini won't be overpriced, all that for power that I didn't need in the first place.

AYN discontinues the 8 GB RAM version of the Odin 2 Mini, drops the price on the 12 GB one in the vicinity of $350, RP5 slots in a tier lower at $250-ish, with the RP Mini at around $150 (replacing and uptiering the RP2S). This way they cover all price/performance tiers.

It's also not as good as a D900, and they said whatever's in the Mini is better than a D900. The 845 in the Odin had to be overclocked to be be comparable to the D900, which obviously isn't going to work in a smaller handheld like the Mini with presumably a much smaller battery.

thats true, but the soc price on this level is always a thing of negotiation. the price of a singular chip wont be the msrp if you order thousands.
Eliminating the other vendors from the line-up and going qualcomm only means they can negotiate for lower prices as their order volume will be higher, they could even use this as a bargaining chip that if qc gives them an even fairer price they will discontinue their mediatek and allwinner devices (which might have nbeen in the plan anyways but the sales rep you are dealing with don't have to know of course)

He has a friendly vibe to the whole thing which really helps i guess.
If you look at what are the other options:
- soiijak looking betas at retrohandheld
- weird old guy with a knife with adin
- incredibly creepy and weird techdweeb
- vladnerd with his very-very forced humor and incredibly annoying fear of demonetization
- etc...

I have an old GPD XD with a spicy pillow for a battery, should I buy a whole new handheld or just a battery from Aliexpress(I would buy a mp3 player with the unused cash)

Also what's the advantage of Linux over Android, shouldn't android be more efficient for battery life?

The XD is quite old but the battery will be cheaper. Linux is lighter weight in general depending on what systems you like to play.

With some exceptions here and there like Dirge of Cerberus, the emulation can't really get any better. It's finished. People just need better hardware.

I'm sure it could be highly improved, we still need 8 core multiGHz cpus to run games from 2001 smoothly. So there is a huge amount it could be optimized, but without the platform whitepapers, it wont happen, maybe if another tranny gets their head into it

I have an MMP but not the V10, but i'd doubt it. V10 is probably better if you only care for GBA because the screen has the best aspect ratio for it. General emulation up to PS1 i'd say the MMP is still the best vertical. they're roughly the same price too, $41 for v10 and $48 for MMP on aliexpress

Correct me if I am wrong, but, as I understand, the MMP can't do hardware-accelerated 3D emulation, since it lacks a 3D GPU core. So anything 5th gen (home console) would struggle on it (due to having to run in software mode).
