Hmmm interesting yeah thats what sucks about these chink systems is that if you buy them you never quite know what you're going to get some systems are actually decent while others are complete and total shit the emulation on the PXP3 Slim Station is god awful but it is a neat cheap little system to have if you wanna play retro games on the go or give something cheap to your kids.

Dude android is good but don’t be a blind /g/ shill. If I’m gonna choose between using an old psp souped up with a new battery that plays everything up to a gba + the psp library with actual tactile feedback vs emulating on a touch screen and burning a hole in the battery life of the machine I use to browse the internet and talk to friends, I’m going to choose the dedicated, cheaper hardware.

I have one too.
For SNES emulation. It's not great at it.
It can handle regular SNES games mostly fine (some mode 7 effects slow the framerate down), but special chip games are going to need frameskip.
So you could comfortably play a game like Live a Live as is, and it only slows down in a few screen transitions for like a second.
But Super Mario Kart and Pilotwings need frameskip. And Star Fox is completely unplayable on there.
But what I do love about it is the buttons. It has really nice buttons and is comfortable to actually play. Especially vs. it's peers.
I have a GPD XD. I like it. However the buttons are so mushy. It's annoying.
You can open this thing up real easy too. I know people have successfully upgraded the screen to the IPS one from the current RS-97 with the dragon design.
Hopefully if that screen is available eventually by itself it will be a cheap upgrade. Failing that there's also a Sony screen that's apparently compatible.

That's just an official Neo Geo MVS board consolised with a popular bootleg cart with multiple games. For all intents and purposes it is just a much, much cheaper way of playing Neo Geo games on actual hardware without getting an AES. Electronically the 161 in 1 carts are pretty decent these days too, suppliers seem to have listened and have begun shipping units with better components. You can get MVS boards for as little as $30 now. The 161 in 1 cart is about $50-60. MVS carts can sell for well over $500 each.

Doom on the NDS worked okay, because you could use a thumb strap and aim with the touch screen like a mouse pad, and you had shoulder buttons which could be used for strafing/rotation, but I don't see how Doom can play well in Gameboy format.

Im not thats fact millennials are people born between 1981-1996 and Zoomers are people born between 1997-today.

[Anonymous No.5827409]

Only the very fringe/gen x cusp millennials born in 81-82 really grew up in the 80s. I've frequently seen people born in 83-84 say they don't remember much from the 80s and that the 90s were their true prime childhood.

[Anonymous No.5827423]

I've doing a lot of research on Chinese handhelds since I've been thinking about getting one. I've rounded a ton of opinions and reviews and here's what I've gathered so far:

- The current top picks in regards to quality/price ratio go for the RG-300 and the LDK (Portrait model). Selling for around $50, both have an JZ4760B processor running RetroFW (libre custom firmware adapted from OpenDingux). The LDK has a better screen than the RG-300, but the latter has better ergonomics. The LDK Landscape model has a weaker processor (JZ4760) than the standard LDK and RG-300, so it's not worth it. None of these consoles are able to run the majority of PS1 games, and you're better off with a PSP if you want to emulate those. SNES emulation can sometimes be limited, but all SEGA consoles and MAME seem to emulate pretty nicely.
- However, now it's not a good time to buy either an LDK or an RG-300, the reason being that a new console, the RG-350, is bound to be released in the coming months, and it's going to be a game changer. Sporting the same processing unit as the GCW-Zero (JZ4770), this unit will likely be compatible with all GCW firmware and ports. The extra power means it will also be able to do PS1 emulation easily and have full SNES compatibility. Estimated price is less than $100, meaning it will likely result in a price drop for RG-300/LDK devices.
- DO NOT acquire a Bittboy or a Pocket Go unless you want a really really cheap device to play Genesis or 8-bit games on the go. Both the Bittboy and the Pocket Go have screens locked at 30hz, meaning they have lots of screen tearing issues and generally don't go well with 60 FPS games. There's a patch to fix the tearing for the Pocket Go, but it's not a 100% guaranteed fix. The Bittboy also has no shoulder buttons, so it's useless to emulate anything requiring L+R.

out of curiosity, why do you say the LDK screen is better? It's smaller and at a lower resolution (3" vs 2.6" / 480x320 vs 320x240 ). Better response times?

I kinda hope they make the RG-350 with the same form factor as the 300, even if it means no analog sticks.

>out of curiosity, why do you say the LDK screen is better?
The RG-300 has had two versions so far, the original and a revision. The original version had good brightness but there was a bad light bleed on the right border of the screen. The revised version fixed this by simply toning down the brightness, which means the screen is less powerful than it was. The LDK has no such issues. It can also be argued that a 320x240 screen scales some games better.

>>5827527
>I kinda hope they make the RG-350 with the same form factor as the 300
Thers already a prototype for the RG-300 with an analog, although we're not sure if it will ever be released. You can see it on the video below. The channel in which it was posted belongs to one of the engineers behind the RG series, and they frequently post teasers there,

The stick isn't what interests me though, I'm more interested in the stronger hardware of the 350, just with the comfier form factor of the 300, unless that's what that is in the video

>>5827547
There's already videos of the RG-350. They're shamelessly ripping off the form factor of the GCW, but it does come with two analogues. Sadly the positioning is not the best one.

got mine about an week ago and i'm pretty happy so far, the speakers are awesome and the screen looks great. I was mainly looking for something to emulate gbc and gba on but most snes titles i tried played well enough.

[Anonymous No.5831114]

I have one of these (not my image) and it works pretty well for $30 plus microsd card. I mostly bought it for GBA. SNES doesn't work that well. I have heard that PSX games can run okay, but the lack of L/R buttons hinders this too. I've only tried a few PSX games but if Suidoken is playable I'm going to give that a shot. It is a little janky with the screen tearing but I was impressed with the quality of the screen. There was a bit of decision paralysis as I now have access to the entire libraries of games but I settled on starting to play through MMBN6 as I never got a chance to play it. Liking it so far but I can already tell the story is going to be a slog.

One thing I noticed on those is essentially an upgrade to the screen where it's an LCD panel and the feedback on the buttons feels a lot less mushy.

For those who have a bit more dosh to spend, the Retrostone 2 has just been announced via Kickstarter.

It costs $129 and is built on top of an OrangePi board, meaning you can use it as a regular single board computer, and it runs a the whole PS1 library comfortably along with a lot of N64 games. The original Retrostone was pretty successful despite having a poor screen. This version improves that, as fixing the issues in the previous iteration.

[Anonymous No.5832763]

If anyone's interested, I've just discovered the RG-300 works fine with a normal BL-5C battery.
You just have to find a way to keep it in place, being definitely smaller than the BP-5L

This is a dumb argument. Even if you create your own RaPi handheld you will still have to buy all the separate parts, buttons, case, screen, battery, and all respective wiring and connectors, added to assembly costs and tools, assuming you don't have them already. This makes the price fair by default. Compare it with the closest fully assembled RaPi handheld, the Kinhan, which costs $199 and it's made by malnourished chinamen.

Not Chinese, but what does everyone here think of the Retroflag GPi CASE? It's $70 plus the cost of a Raspberry Pi Zero, runs on AA batteries rather than a proprietary rechargable battery, and is slightly larger than a Game Boy Color. I'm not sure how well emulators run on the Pi Zero right now as I've heard everything from SNES games with the SA-1 enhancement chip not running at full speed to even PS1 games being playable. I'm really just excited about being able to play SNES games even without enhancement chips on anything that will run on AA batteries at this point. My only worry is the cartridge system they chose for attaching the Pi Zero to the system as it just seems like a completely unnecessary potential failure point.

[Anonymous No.5833812]

>>5833796
This is an amazing case save for three things:
1 - it runs on AA batteries instead of a li-ion
2 - it is meant to use with a pi zero only, which is still underpowered and unable to cope with PS1 emulation.
3 - the Pi Zero takes a fairly lengthy amount of time to boot

For these reasons Chinese handhelds are still better and more practical if you're looking for a cheap emulation device.

>My only worry is the cartridge system they chose for attaching the Pi Zero to the system as it just seems like a completely unnecessary potential failure point.

This is actually one of its best characteristics. Review I've seen to far show that the contact system for the cartridge is VERY well built and fail proof, and also simplifies assembly to the point that all you need is a screwdriver. Being dependent on AA batteries is the prime reason I'm not getting one.

>Underperformance or failure when batteries are running low
All batteries die. Poor performance with low batteries is a problem with the design of the device rather than the batteries.

>having to buy new batteries
Only idiots buy non rechargable batteries for any reason other than emergencies (where you're completely fucked with any other device) or low drain devices.

>rechargeable ones that need to be plugged in and recharged separately
How is not having to set down your device to or sit near an outlet to recharge the battery a down side? Are you too stupid to be able to handle a battery charger?

>having to carry spares all the time.
As opposed to not being able to carry extra batteries that aren't some umbilical charger?

I don't see how your device has anything to do with this as I've never seen micro USB cables just laying around. Compact battery chargers exist if you really want one, otherwise you can just bring a few extra batteries and not have to worry about finding a place to plug in to recharge in the first place. You can even pull batteries out of another device and use those if you want.
>it also gives you the ability to charge while playing
I don't really see that as much of an upside vs turning the device off, swapping the batteries, and continuing playing with a fully charged device instead of having to worry about being near a charger.

Really? I have two besides my bed and one usually plugged into my PC. If i go somewhere over night i take one with me to charge my phone. Besides, most people i know have at least one.
with an OTG you could also charge the device with your phone so you wouldn't even have to sit next to a wall or whatever.
I can see how batteries are widely available but i can buy a micro usb cable on a gas station if stores are closed so meh..
>As opposed to not being able to carry extra batteries
the LDK uses the same battery as old nokia phones iirc

If i would design a handheld i would use a li-ion like pic related because they are cheap and widely available but using batteries from phones is fine too because it eliminates the chance to not get a working one if they die
