/rhg/ - Retro Handheld General

[Anonymous No.6147182]

Let's talk retro handheld gaming. What do you have and how do you like it? Are you planning on buying one soon? Do you need help?

Be aware of hardware revisions/upgrades and rebranded versions with different colors/features. Be sure to read some reviews before buying, some of these are great, others leave a lot of be desired. Look for a local distributor to potentially save on taxes and shipping.

How is NES, SMS, and Game Gear emulation on the GBA? I love the idea of having a handheld that runs on AA batteries that can share batteries with the other AA powered devices I still use rather than me needing to charge it when traveling, but it seems my other options that are more powerful than a GBA only get a few hours of battery life. I saw the Pi Zero based Retroflag GPI recently, but supposedly you're looking at 5-6 hours of play time max off of 3 AAs.

I'm wondering if the Vita will ever be topped, first off it's dpad is top tier, also has decent sticks for PS1 games. Plays every PSP/PSX/Vita game, has a amazing looking OLED screen. SNES and back emulation is really good.

Not yet, it'll probably be several years. There are no x86 or ARM handhelds powerful enough and PCSX2 hasn't even started with the ARM port yet (it's a lot of work). Most of the mid-range and above handhelds can do flawless PS1 emulation at 60 FPS without frameskip via PSX.

Hey Vita fags, what's so good about the Vita and what is the emulation experience like?
Do you just flash some custom firmware, run RetroArch and load ROMS and their BIOS off a microSD card or something?
Can you use homebrew ROMS and pirated Sony ROMs or does Sony prevent you from doing that?
Does it just werk?
What's the most demanding consoles it can play smoothly without frameskip?
Can it handle SNES games that require special chips such as Starfox? Is N64 and Dreamcast doable?
Do you have to deal with being a part of a Japanese botnet?
What's the best version of the Vita? How customizable is the hardware, can I replace the battery, D-Pad and Buttons with something from China when they wear out?

Adrenaline for PSP and PSX, Retroarch for everything else.

Downgrade to 3.60, Henkaku, SD2Vita, microSD.
>Can you use homebrew ROMS and pirated Sony ROMs or does Sony prevent you from doing that?
NPSBrowser
>Does it just werk?
Sometimes it loses connection to your storage device on boot and all your games disappear forcing you to rescan and lose all your organization. Backup apps exist to restore it but it doesn't always work.
>What's the most demanding consoles it can play smoothly without frameskip?
PSX through Adrenaline.
>Can it handle SNES games that require special chips such as Starfox? Is N64 and Dreamcast doable?
N64+ is impossible.
>Do you have to deal with being a part of a Japanese botnet?
No, you can remove the 3G modem if you're paranoid or just get a wifi only model.
>What's the best version of the Vita?
1000 for OLED, 2000 for built in memory card and microUSB
>How customizable is the hardware, can I replace the battery, D-Pad and Buttons with something from China when they wear out?
Fully modular. It's like a tiny laptop.

Why are these better than an android tablet and xbox controller?

[Anonymous No.6147222]

>>6147221
1. Android has high display latency due to the Android compositor, it's roughly 16.7ms on Linux and 66.7ms on Android. Idk about the screen, but being a much lower resolution the response times are probably faster. Most Android devices have more CPU and GPU power however.
2. An Android tablet or phone plus an external controller (wired or bluetooth) is bulky and not very portable. It's also cumbersome to use if you're interested in portablity and ease of use. With a true handheld you can pull it out and use it almost immediately and while you're using it you can get up to grab a drink/bathroom/whatever and come back without having to mess with cables, resting it on your lap, or sitting/laying in an uncomfortable position.

Why don't any of these chink companies make tablet sized versions anymore? The JXD s7800 was pretty cool, what happened? Now there's just that one Powkiddy with the Switch-style face buttons, it sucks. I'd be all over an RG350 with a bigger screen. The unit wouldn't even have to be much bigger. That thing already has a fairly chunky bezel, just slim that down. And I don't know if 5-6" 4:3 screens are readily and cheaply available, but by comparison my GPD XD has a 5.5" 16:9, but only uses 4" in a 4:3 game. A 5-6" 4:3 panel would be plenty big but still probably result in a pocket-friendly system.

I have the same model as the one above in pic related, and it is horrible for PS games, I think a PSP is much better in that regard. The only reason I ended up using that thing was for arcade games (mostly outrun) since everything else feels overly complicated, and since most of the default emulators are bad, you'd need to spend a lot of time configuring it to be usable.

Too bulky and kills phone battery life. You have to remove the case and put it back on afterwards every time you want to use it. *I have an important phone call, let me put this thing up to my ear and look like an idiot.* You can get a dedicated phone and controller set, but that gets expensive and you still have the latency problem.

hey guy. i bought one of those controllers because i too thought what you did, and i ended up giving it away and buying a chink android device with built in controls. my phone didn't fit into it, i couldn't charge my phone while playing it, the chintzy plastic feels pretty bad, the buttons were mushy, the analogs were imprecise, there was more latency than i was willing to put up with, and its a much nicer experience overall having a dedicated device for playing games instead of using your phone.

this thread isn't really about android devices and quite frankly i dont recommend this thing for pre-n64 retro gaming because it has a trash dpad and it doesn't let you navigate the os with the face buttons but the user experience of what you're suggesting just straight up sucks. if you wanna emulate the gamecube on the go then yeah its pretty much your only option but otherwise i wouldn't recommend it to anyone who could get something better unless they only thing they care about is the fact that it costs $20 and they can use something they already have

Can you play jumping flash without slowdowns on your vita configuration?

[Anonymous No.6147288]

>>6147287
I've not tried, but from what I recall that's one of the three-ish games that has real issues with the version of POPS that the up to date Vita uses. So if it's known to have issues, I'd imagine my setup isn't immune.

[Anonymous No.6147289]

>>6147288
That's a shame, I really want to get a /rh/ and I've been looking at them in recent weeks, Vita seems to be the clear choice for build quality but it's supposed struggling on some chip SNES games and some PSX titles is really holding me back.

The main competitor is the RG350 I guess but I think that even has issues on the trickier titles. I guess I'll either give in and get a Vita to start my /rhg/ collection or wait for a chink device that can handle both flawlessly.

[Anonymous No.6147290]

>>6147289
For what it's worth, it's an incredibly small number of titles that POPS has issues with on Vita and I'm pretty sure the only issues are some slowdown, nothing broken or anything. If that's really what's holding you back from it, Jumping Flash, then I guess I'd ask how important Jumping Flash really is to you.

[Anonymous No.6147298]

>>6147292
Honestly, that's fair enough then. As >>6147295 points out, if it's a game affected then you can often at least improve the situation with an overclock. Based on what I've seen, there's really nothing in this kind of price range that's superior to the Vita for PS1. If you really want to go all out better, a flagship phone with a bluetooth controller or one of those compact Windows handhelds or something would probably do it but that's an order of magnitude more expensive if you don't already have them knocking about.
>>6147296
To be clear, it can play it. I just think it's one of the very few titles with a little slowdown.

PSX4ALL is fucking trash and I'd take the PSP or vita over a chink handheld for PS1 any day of the week.
At this point the vita has very spot on compatibility for PS1. the problem games have workarounds. DQ7 runs full speed on RA, valkyrie profile has a PSP port that can be played with adrenaline and for ape escape you can play the PAL version or the PSP port.
>>6147300
I would if I had any of my vitas with me anon. I can tell you that games with slowdowns on POPs tend also also have slowdowns on real hardware and can usually be fixed by setting adrenaline to 333mhz. Spyro 2 for example tends to have slowdown sometimes but I hardly even notice it at the higher clocks. but it also has slowdowns on real hardware too.

Well I can tell you that, aside from my PS1's disc drive apparently not being as healthy as I remember it, the game has some slowdown during basic gameplay compared to my burnt copy running on real hardware. Mine is a modded PAL system too, so in theory it should be at an ever so slight clock disadvantage too. Not unplayable, but a little worse than the slowdown on the first level on my PS1. I don't currently have a VSH menu set up on my Vita, so I can't tell you how much overclocking the PSP side of things helps but I'd imagine it'd at least be an improvement.

tl;dr: Slowdown, playable, probably going to bother you if you're a purist but also going to still be your Jumping Flash fix.

Klonoa seems just fine to me. I've not played it on a PS1, but as far as I could tell there was absolutely zero slowdown, music seemed to be fine, everything was as it should be through the first level. The boring outcome but probably the good one.

Also retried Jumping Flash with the overclock applied, it didn't seem to improve the slowdown much if at all. Maybe there was a little less during the power bomb, but that could just be me.

[Anonymous No.6147322]

>>6147310
Alright, so Musashi at stock clocks runs pretty decently. Slight slowdown on taking damage or on too many enemies visible at once but honestly, you notice that more in the audio than the gameplay. Also may occur on real hardware, I don't know. There was also some audio crackling going on, just a little, during the custscene with dialogue outside 'spiral tower' or whatever it's called. Didn't change with clock settings but also didn't seem to persist beyond there.

tl;dr: seems just fine, highly playable with some very slight slowdown in crowded moments.

>>6147321
It's one of the options I'm considering, but the lack of a right stick, an L3 and an L2/R2 do kind of make me hesitant. I can live with no second stick but the PSP life of binding the missing shoulder buttons to the lone analog stick is one I'd like to leave behind. Still, compelling for a lot of other reasons.

Look into the ODROID-GO. It's an ESP32 based handheld with good community support that can run GB, GBC, Game Gear, NES, and Sega Master System. It's not powerful enough to do GBA. Look on the HardKernel website for distributors in your area.

problem is that i would randomly get a mobile network error. obviously im not trying to connect with a mobile data but i cant find any way to fully disable the 3g part, which im assuming is why im getting that error message.

I know the R4i gold is best, but upon doing research i saw a lot of people saying how they had major issues when playing games, including mystery dungeon (sky). is this the fault of the emulator, or the fault of the r4i? and what happens when you are forced to save ingame? or if it freezes? i just wanna play pmd sky man i hate emulating on the pc

Drug dealer phone is a slang for old, cheap, and disposable phones. They're dirt cheap yet working phones, sometimes in poor condition. Hence they're stereotypically only used by drug dealers, they change their phones all the time to avoid getting tracked.

Android. As mad as it's going to make the purists here, it has replaced my PSPs as my go-to handheld gaming device. An Ipega controller and RetroArch do most of the work, although I need reicast and Mupen64 for certain games that don't run in RetroArch for whatever reason.
I can't complain at all. I even like PSX on Android better than on PSP just because I don't have to convert every game I want to play and figure out what version on popstation it runs well with (I miss you, emuparadise).
Planning on buying a real gaming phone and a better controller soon. It's the only handheld emulation device capable of running Gamecube, Wii, and PS2 games to any playable extent, so I'm convinced it's the best route, even if hipsters here don't like it.

Other than that, PSP works pretty well for emulating most retro consoles. N64 emulation is broken as fuck, and Megami Tensei 1&2 experience framerate drops on Snes9x, for some reason (but every other SNES game seems to work fine). Aforementioned PS1 emulator is pretty good, being that it was designed by Sony, but the popsloader issue and the convoluted conversion process that doesn't always work for reasons I don't understand are the main barriers.

Yeah, a Linux handheld would be cool, but I won't get on board until one has at least as much power as mid-tier Android devices. I don't want to look cool at the expense of playability.

SNES games on the 3DS are remarkably good but they aren't 100% compatible.
If you're using SNES9X for Old 3DS for example, it isn't capable of playing Super Metroid + A Link to the Past combo randomizer, due to using an older version of SNES9X that is less accurate, for the benefit of better performance.

Modified SNES VC titles exist though, but that's not a process you'd want to do for randomizer hacks.

Not sure how Retroarch is on the 3DS these days either.
