Have you taken the handheld emu pill, /vr/?
I just got a RG351P. Plays great, has minimal input lag on the systems it runs well. Runs Playstation as well as a PSP and emulates better than a pi 3.
Still working on getting Shovel Knight, Half Life and Diablo 1 and 2 on it.

I'm still waiting on the >$150 device that breaks the Dreamcast/N64 barrier perfectly. I can play a few Dreamcast and N64 games but not many.

I had a pair of Dingoo units a long time back, it was a neat little console that was way, way too fragile.I still use my GBA units to this very day, even twenty years past launch. The AGB is a wonderful daily driver. Looking at getting a Retroflag GPi in 2022, once I finish picking up some games I've been waiting on getting. What's the build quality for the 351P?

Anonymous Mon Oct 4 10:51:35 2021 No.8203028

how viable it is to get raspherry pi solely for dosbox emulation. i feel like it's perfect form factor for it, and linux already can be used with just keyboard+dosbox. makes it perfect combo to keep keyboard on lap while resting on a couch with pi connected to tv

The 351MP is really close to being perfect for me. I wish wi-fi was built in because I'd love to get into retro achievements, but otherwise it's a solid handheld. The closer we get to the next gen of these devices the more I'm tempering expectations anyway. I'm hearing good things about the N64, but somehow PSP and DC are still a mixed bag.
>>8202949
After owning a few Chinese handhelds and a Pi I think the Pi 4 is way overrated. The lack of proper sleep support on the SBC really kills it as a handheld for me. I tolerate it as a console, but I still think there are better options for emulation.
>>8203028
It's honestly pretty easy. I'll warn you that bluetooth is a pain on these devices if you plan to use it, but typically you'll just be setting it up once and never again.

This. I was at a train station the other day and this loser sat next to me and got out a dedicated handheld and started playing some games. I just rolled my eyes and opened my backpack, took out my xbox controller, took out my mount, put my phone in the mount, binned the messenger bubbles, synced up the bluetooth (phone was on 30% from being used all day but a bit of bluetooth should be fine), found the retroarch app, loaded it up, noticed it was running very slow, cleared background processes (probably because I used google maps earlier anyway), chose the core I wanted, chose the game, noticed retroarch was expecting touchscreen inputs instead of my controller, went back into retroarch menu, set controller to bluetooth device, back into game.

I didn't get to play as much as the other guy, but at least I didn't look ridiculous.

It doesn't have to be a Pi 4 for me to be happy, just needs to run Retroarch and handle N64/Dreamcast/PSP shit at the same level a Pi 4 could. Lack of sleep doesn't bother me, it only takes a few seconds to boot anyway and it's not like I'm turning it on to not use it.

I own 4, yeah. My first was an RG350, then I got a 351V which I gave to my wife since she loves the screen, and a V90 for my son. I got a 351M for myself and I like it a lot. If the next chipset has quality N64 emulation I'll probably get one for myself. Unfortunately the RG552 has a 4 year old chip so we'll have to see how that performs.

Idk what you mean by "GBC Lunar" but if you're talking about the machine, it's an Anbernic RG351v. Personallly I've liked it a lot, it's not as small as the RG351P or M so it's a bit comfier to hold.

Also, the other game is SRW J for GBA.

i have one question, do any of these things have a screen that actually matches retro handhelds resolutions? i've yet to find one that gameboy/game gear games don't look like shit on. the problem is they want to include a bunch of emulators for (non handheld) systems so the screen has to be one size fits all so you have to choose between shitty upscaling or a letterboxed image the size of your fingernail. unless there exists a system that matches the pixel resolution of a gameboy i'd rather get a modded system with a flashcart. yes i know i'm autistic but it bugs me that much.

Is this actually the truth?
I have my doubts desu.

What does "emulates PS1 and PSP" actually mean?
What emulator and does it run games fullspeed?

I personally gave up on portable 6th gen and n64 emulation for now.
Also would prefer a bigger screen for PS1 games.

Really, on paper using a cellphone and a BT pad to play games is not that bad idea, but when push comes to shove, its not really practical.

>the average Pad form factor is always bulky, it always makes the phone bigger, losing the phones aesthetic.

>you have to pull up the phone, then the pad, then setting the BT, then configure the BT, then plug the earphones, and then play, a process that takes around 3 minutes if you are quick enough, and that you have to do again to put down the stuff when you have to get off the bus or metro. unless you are on a 2+hour ride from your home and work, it is just an uncomfortable waste of time, and lets not talk about having to give a mom or a granny your seat, forcing you to have to be standing for the majority, if not the rest of the trip.

>on telescopic type gamepads, you cannot even connect the earphones, while some gamepads DO contain adapters that allow you to connect your earphones, those make your phone even bigger and unwieldy, and wireless phones are still expensive, so that is not an option.

>and lastly, using your main phone for this, your personal tool to go thru the day... really? if you are gonna do that, at least have the decency of buying a budget phone to tinker with it and not use your main phone as a handheld. but again, that is just extra money spent in another phone.

Been playing Rayman 2 at 640x480 without slowdowns. Some missing graphical effects in water parts though, for some reason.

PSP is still shit. Jeane d'Arc runs at 20 something fps and it's not even graphically intensive. Patapon and DBZ Shin Budokai runs at full speed. Crisis Core is a good slideshow.

DS runs fine now, I guess. Didn't try many games. They still haven't fixed the tiny settings screen.

That thing was amazing, really.
Good buttons, good screen (for the time), open source OS, could emulate 8 bit and most 16 bit (shit the bed sometimes with some SNES games).
It also had GMU for music playback, which I miss in my rg350 (might port the source code someday).
More importantly, it was the device that started this chinkshit handheld trend, which was great (gamepark is korean, so it doesn't count).

I remember a few years ago before the current wave of chinese handheld emulators, /vr/'s answer to questions about handheld emulators was always "get a dingoo" and things like ">imagine playing on a phone". Nowadays, these threads are invariably filled with people saying "lol just use your phone". What happened? What happened to the spirit of /vr/ that liked dedicated emulation devices? Is it because the new ones are from China?

i think the reason the dingoo was popular around here was because it was an actually incredible little device for its price once you got dingux up and running. you could even overclock the fucking things
i think even brand new they were $40
and it was chinkshit so you could often find it from other distributors at a lower price
all these new ones im seeing are like +$100 which is just retarded when youre knowingly buying chinkshit. chink manufacturers nowadays skimp out in ways that us ordinary non-bugmen couldnt even imagine

but yea, the reasons were exactly as you said
it was just solid all-around, and at a price that practically felt disposable

any shidiot saying
>use ur goyphone
is either just shitposting like >>8207632 said, or actually mentally retarded
touch screen makes 90% of /vr/ literally impossible to play. any action game is totally out of the question. you could get away with JRPGs maybe, but it would still be incredibly arduous

and dont get me started on the external controllers with phone mounts
ive never seen something so gay in my entire godforsaken life
also really stretches the definition of "portable", while the phones alone are already too big for their own good

Well I used a raspberry pi and some jumper wires I soldered on, you also have to take an entire chip off and solder your own on. Not to mention getting the roms on it took like 3 hours of fiddling with linux stuff. The flash you need to solder on is this: "MX25U12835FM2I-10G".

So what's the current recommended firmware for RG351 devices?
I have the RG351V and RG351P and do use them frequently, but I've been noticing performance and technical issues on each when using the latest 351Elec firmware from a few months ago.

Things like the auto save/load feature messing up the sound when resuming GBA games, or general performance issues when waking a device from sleep. I'm hoping that these are issues resolved with better firmware that's still being maintained.

All of the 351 line is more or less sidegrade of eachother. If you look into system differences you'll see the difference is all in form factor, screen, and body material. The 552 is due later this year, but I'm kind of unsure about it. It'll have a fan in the chassis and be android-based, which is historically kind of miserable on these devices. If you want one now buy a 351 now, but I'm definitely waiting to see what early adopters think before I buy the new version.

Chink ones for GBA SP last about 30 minutes to 1 hour, while a decent one lasts at least 5 hours.
I swear the PSP lasted more than 6, since I remember going to the pool as a kid and playing it from morning until afternoon. Maybe because I have a 1000?
I want to change mine mainly because it's slightly bulging, so the cover won't close properly anymore and the contacts disconnect out of nowhere because of it.

I did use arkos, until 351elec got a few better N64 and Dreamcast emulators recently, and since ArkOS isn't getting any more updates... 351Elec it is.
ArkOS doesn't really even have any advantages anymore. All the same ports work on 351Elec now and the defaults are better. It's whatever.

ArkOS on the MP is the best option currently. The RA is a bit fucked and 351elec has worse performance.
ArkOS is just a nice minimal ubuntu installation with emulation station, retroarch and retrorun on top, there's not much to go wrong with it. Can even plug a keyboard, exit emulationstation and use the device as a low powered linux computer. Kindnof a raspberry pi4

They're flooding the market. The result is that most of these devices don't get much support. Or they keep the devices with the same SoC like anbernic and powkiddy do so they can rerelease the same device with a new trimming to guarantee support.
GKD350H, RK2020, the original OGA, GKD Mini, PlayGo, even the rg280m, rg300x. All of them are two years old or newer, an noone cares about them. Even the rg280v only gets exposure because the youtubers are shilling it.

The best to do is to just do a bit of research and buy what's available at the moment and supported instead of waiting for newer devices.

rg351v if you like gameboy style case or rg351mp you you prefer GBA style case. rgb10max is also an option because the screen is large, but you'll have huge black bars on the sides.

the rgb10 max is fine too, just bigger than the rg351 family, but don't be deceived by the speaker grills, there is only one speaker on that unit. the rg351p/m has stereo speakers.

>>8219107
Only hardware mod I've done to a console, and I think it's really worth it. You're not going to use the UMDs anyway, so it's a huge weight bringint he console down.
And the mod is just taking the disk tray out (a bunch of screws) and soldering a new battery to the old PSP battery control board.

>>8219118
>Adjustable A/R
Adjustable what?

>rg350/P/M
Older, weaker, cheaper but still able to run everything up to and including PSX. The M has a 640x480 screen. All are horizontal like the PSP and have stereo sound. It's the one on the right of the GBC in my picture.

>rg351P/M
More powerful with a new system chip that runs up to Dreamcast, with some N64 and shit Saturn. All the devices besides android ones I'll be explaining have the same CPU, so performance is more or less the same
Screen is 480x320, so GBA games will scale perfectly and look the best, but all the other systems will have shit scaling (PSP is more or less fine). Stereo sound.
Has problems in sleep mode and low battery operation (buttons not working, sound cutting, etc).
Like >>8219137
said, get it for GBA as its the best for it.

>rg351v
Looks like the original gameboy. Has a 640x480 and is great for 4:3 consoles like the NES, SNES, PSX, etc.
Left and right triggers might be uncomfortable for some people. Also only has mono sound and one analog.

>rg351mp
Like the 351v, but horizontal and stereo sound, with two analogs. It's the one ont he left of the GBC. No strange behaviour at low battery as the other rg351 have.

>rgb10max
Bigger, with a 5 inch screen that is great for PSP for example. Low build quality, the screen is dim and only has mono sound. I think it can be overclocked for more performance compared to the anbernic devices, but I'm not sure.

>odroid Go Advance Super
Even bigger than the rgb10 max, has a great screen but HUGE bezels. This one can definitely be overclocked.

>>8219130
Smaller because it lacks some emulation cores and things like that. The operating system itself is smaller in ArkOS.

>>8219189
All of them have adjustable aspect ratio.
You can have integer scaling, non integer scaling that preserves aspect ratio, or just stretch the picture to the screen.
Some emulators can be run at either 640x480 or 320x240 if the screen is able to (N64, Dreamcast, some PSX games).

Regarding the rg351mp, it's quite new right now, so a big caveat is the price. It also doesn't have integrated wi-fi, but the chinese guys bundle a wifi-dongle for it anyway.

Not to shit on this thread, but I am pretty deep into retroarch and using syncthing to keep my saves shared across devices. So I can play on my shield, my PC or phone. Problem is, phone controls sucks so I got a kickstand for my phone and I just ordered an 8bitdozero.

The RGB10's as well, and the odroids too.

Older anbernics like the rg350 run good old opendingux distribution, which is BASED.
Newer devices run ubuntu or arch with the emulation stuff on top.

The worst part is taking the UMD out because you have to disconnect some flex cables from the main board and there's the possibility of fucking the one that goes to some buttons or something.

anbernic has the best build quality by far but at the end of the day it's a chink company so you gotta accept the pitfalls like non-existent quality control. most likely your device will be fine, but there's a non zero chance they'll ship it with a dead battery, or maybe the paint job was chipped at the factory, or some other similar mishap. just comes with the territory of buying shit from chang.
the best device to get right now is probably rg351mp. comes with a nice 640x480 screen so most retro platforms scale nicely. the price is kinda bullshit for china junk though but you can get it for a bearable price at banggood at least.
