Which are the best DSTwo plugins for emulating GB/C and NES?
For GBA I'm using tempGBA and for SNES I'm using CATSFC

My GPD XD has a library of about 300 games on it, most of which I missed out on during my childhood as I only had a MegaDrive and a PS1.

For $120 this little gadget had given me hundreds of hours worth just playing Advance Wars, Castlevania and Zelda alone. Looking forward to upgrading to the GPD Win 2 so I can play Gamecube and indie Steam games on the go.

Wrong. Any decently salaried software developer will know better than to pay money for proprietary shit they could get for free. Being too stupid to understand how to not waste money on unnecessary bullshit isn't something you should be proud of. I don't spend money on pyramid schemes or lottery tickets either, that doesn't mean I'm incapable of affording such retardation if I were more retardedly inclined.

[Anonymous No.4766640]

So, this is just another GPD shill thread?

Real hardware and a Flash cart would be more affordable and more accurate, and you wouldn't have to deal with the input delay added by emulation. Android is probably the worst platform for this by a huge margin. If you really insist on having a portable emulation device, a cheap softmodded PSP-1000 would do the job just fine.

>Flash cart would be more affordable
No they're not. You can still find P4 rigs for literally free or at a price lower than any flashcarts. Flashcarts are expensive and can't fix slowdown problems with certain games they were originally running too slow in original hardware.
>Android
There are chink Win10 UMPCs. And buying one of those would still be cheaper than buying flashcarts for multiple mobile consoles.

I only collect for Game Boy. I have every model in a curio cabinet. Looks nice. Favorites I buy, otherwise there's flashcarts. Consoles take up too much damn space (inb4 "what, you're a poorfag who can't afford an unsightly mancave?") A hacked Wii solves the problem. It's tidy.

[Anonymous No.4766746]

>GPD XP

I fell for this meme. Emulating on Android is the most miserable way to play these games. I've no idea why anyone would willingly subject themselves to it, none the less spend a premium amount specifically to do so

Buy the console. Buy a flashcart. I highly recommend those classic GBA's with the ags-101 mods if GBA games are your goal

Unless you already have one, I wouldn't suggest going out to get one just for emulating. I've no idea why people keep suggesting them. They can't even do SNES well which, maybe I'm projecting, but it usually one of the driving requriements for what people want out of a portable emulator

I'd only suggest a psp if you're really focusing on PS1 games and have an interest in the actual psp games. If you care about SNES and anything newer it's not a good option

I may be a poorfag but even if I wasn't, I still wouldn't buy these old ass games for double digit prices, especially anything below fifth gen. It's not like i'd be supporting the developer, i'd just be lining the pockets of some greasy reseller. Besides that, they take up a lot of space and need maintaining.

I'll buy the consoles, but that's my limit. Everything else goes on a flash cart. That way I actually get to play those rare games without paying the price of a new modern console.

I think the people that butt into threads and tell people who are clearly interested in having something physical to just emulate something are obnoxious, but you are just as bad as them.

I agree with you... mostly.

I like legit copies of games, but im not paying for earthbound or panzer dragoon saga. Id rather emulate earthbound and burn panzer dragoon!

PSP emulate everything except snes and n64. I had a 3000 some time ago and the screen had a problem (I bought a used one) I couldn't play ps1 or PSP 3d games because the screen was too dark. I end up using It only to emulate GBA, sega, and play other 2d games. If you like sega, GBA and NES, I'd recommend It. If you like snes, Don't get a PSP.

Vita does ps1 worse than the psp. Its an emulator emulating an emulator, which causes issues. Hell even the psp isn't that great since you have to fuck about with popsloader to get a past bugs or crashes on games. And last I checked popsloader wasnt on vita yet. People who say ps1 on psp is perfect are full of shit, and the vita compatibility is worse.

I've been emulating since around 97 or 98. My first computer back then couldn't do the transparencies in SNES games so there were several games that I couldn't play because the transparent effect would just be a solid image on the screen. Chrono Trigger especially.

Ive only ever played Pokemon via emulation.

Getting CPS3 games to work was a huge coup for me back in the day too.

They are variable in quality thats true. Read a lot of nightmare stories around the time it was released. Some batches had massive faults. I think a lot of Chinese goods suffer from teething pains in manufacturing.
Mine's chugging along still. Some of the paint came off the top (I stuck stickers all over it to cover its bald patch), and the buttons are kind of mushy and it can be slow to boot up sometimes, but it does the job alright enough.
Wifi on the XD is also really crap. But when you got a battery thats not a lemon you get loads of battery life on it.

I'm currently playing Phantasy Star Portable on my android tablet with an 8bitDo Bluetooth controller. At a higher resolution than the PSP original, and at 60fps, I might add. I'd rather play PSO2 but GameCube emulation via Dolphin is a bit ropey and the sound lag is unacceptable.

Emulation is fucking GREAT. Fuck hoarding deprecated 90s circuit boards because "muh scanlines". People who genuinely like playing games will emulate. Collection of OG systems, carts etc is just a hoarding fetish, which is perfectly fine, but if you REALLY want to sample the finest wine of retro games because you like *gameplay* then emulation is the best way.
