What /vr/ games is everyone playing on their handhelds? I'm playing D2 and Samurai Showdown 3 on my RP3 atm.

Also here's your RG 353M. Looks like it's the successor to the RG 351M with the chip from the 353 series obviously + some other small tweaks.

Waiting on my 2ds arriving so I can CFM and play muh GBC titles, Miyoo Mini is still out of stock and nothing else from the Chinese interests me currently.

How do you guys cope with playing titles meant for a tv on these tiny handhelds? My eyes would bleed.

I bought mine with a fucked up screen for about 2000 yen from Yahoo Auctions and swapped that old screen for an IPS. The battery life is now shit, but it's OK.
I've been willing to put my hands on a WonderSwan Flash Masta, but 100 dollars for a flashcard is too much for me at the moment (Brazil moment), so I'm purchasing < 10 USD games from Yahoo Auctions. I want to play Dicing Knight so bad, tho, and I need a Flash Masta for that, I'm not paying > 1k USD for that game.

Actually that's a good point, buying a good handful of real games might be about the same cost as one flashcart anyways. I'll have to think about what I want to do eventually, but Dicing Knight is definitely one I want to play so idk. If the IPS screen battery life isn't like 2 - 3 hours per battery then I may have to do that too. I think I can live with at least 4 hours per battery if I get some rechargeables I can swap in and out.

It is about 2 - 3 hours per battery, sorry...
But Flash Masta has a rechargeable USB-C battery, you should definitely take a look at that one. It is bulky but better than swapping AA batteries every 3 hours.
RetroOnyx also has one that is not as bulky as the Flash Masta one, and it lasts "only" 11 hours when compared to the 14 hours of the Flash Masta one.

>buying a good handful of real games might be about the same cost as one flashcart anyways.
Yeah, but good games like Guilty Gear Petit 2, Judgement Silversword, Rockman.EXE WS and Dicing Knight Period are not as easy to get as the other good games, so the Flash Masta is a must in my opinion.

there was a lack of banana for scale, but if that's the case, then well, that's better, but wouldn't the microSD slot, the 3.5mm audio out and the usb-c be better at the bottom left?

I feel like it would bother players subconsciously worrying it would fall out, even if that very unlikely.
>3.5mm audio
From comments I have read here and elsewhere it seems the preference is for the headphone jack to be on the top of the device.
But bottom seems fine to me too. Perhaps even a 3.5mm port on both top and bottom?

>bottom left
Don't want to get in the way of the player's hand when using the bottom directional device.

Honestly, the RP3 and Odin Lite I bought felt more quality than any 1st party handheld I've ever had. The RP2+ on the other hand... I love the thing, but it's good old fashion chinese jank. It very much feels like it could've been a 1st party device from the late 90s or early 2000s, which I guess is charming in its own right.

Shaders. Yes, even on a screen this size. I've tested the scenario. The hardware power is there in this size now.
However, it -is- expensive.
Extra note: seems like 2048x1536 is the go-to resolution for 4:3 tablets so it may be the only source available for 8" 4:3 displays anyway.

btw maybe I should have been more clear but the D-pad and analog sticks are swappable with each other. As in you can move the analog stick to the primary playing position. Like old Mad Catz Pro Circuit controllers.

Well, we'll have to figure out a solution in prototyping. Maybe a screw that goes in through the back to lock it in place.

Six face buttons for Street Fighter and other six button fighting games. For the Saturn games that will run on this device.
2048x1536 for shaders.
You can swap the left stick to the primary position. The right stick is not really that much different than a typical PlayStation 1/2 stick placement.
I don't think players would want "legs" on this device like normal gamepad. It spoils the lines.
Shoulder triggers are included, I just can't draw them very well.
Steam Deck sized because that's the size I want it to be, and so do a lot of other people.

>This thing would be a pain to use

Anon nothing that uses 4:3 actually benefits from a PPI this high.

I made this comparison a while back.
Top unit is an HP Pro Tablet 608 G1 with Intel Atom x5-Z8500.
It uses an 8" 2048x1536 screen.
Controls are Ipega 9083S.

I bought both of these things but the tablet was DOA so I had to send it back and haven't seen another good deal on one to try it.
I still have the Ipega controller but it's kind of bad and I think I would try something else if I gave the idea another shot. Maybe one of those Gamesir controllers.

There's an Android tablet that uses the same screen that slightly higher performance. I forgot what it was called.

All of those you've listed are properly compatible with 16:9 content, including the steam deck.

All three are from established companies, the steam deck, the only one that can be considered anything approaching truly popular on the mass market is a loss leader product from a multimillion dollar financially stable company with deep cash reserves and a booming software ecosystem, that has enough money and pull to sway multiple other multimillion and multibillion dollar companies into working specifically on a bespoke product with custom components for them.

The other two are much more expensive and much less popular and also have far simpler features than the deck or your monstrosity. Crucially, all of them can play modern games properly as well as old stuff.

Why would anyone spend at least a thousand dollars on an obese tablet that can ONLY emulate old games and has sunk a huge amount of cost into emulating hardware features of long dead system's controllers when for far less money they can get more capable devices that work as well or better for the very same purpose?

Do you understand the concept of minimum production volumes?

But no you're right your homer simpson car autism brick handheld would be a great idea, at least 4 people would buy it.

>>9349328
I asked this recently and opinions were mixed.
Definitely less comfortable than horizontal handhelds but some people find it very uncomfortable even for short bursts, some find it OK for an hour or two. 353vs isn't worth the minor cost saving, if you're getting one get the 353v or the 351v for the better buttons and lower price.
351p or 353p seem to be the default reccomendations
Decide what you're actually going to play first then decide based on that. 351p for example has the perfect aspect ratio for GBA which may matter to you if you want to play lots of GBA.

I personally just bought a NIB 2ds XL off of ebay as its faster to get than any Chinese device and the build quality and software library is great, and the DS and 3DS library is awesome.

Taking a hit on PSX and N64 emulation not really being possible with good quality but backwards compatibility with Nintendo's entire handheld library is massive for me and a DS system is really the only way to play DS and 3DS games properly.

I also bought a regular 2ds from some wine mom for £35 because I was curious if it was comfy or not and it was mint for the price and yeah these things are really good and really easy to root, playing some Fire Emblem GBA and Etrian Odyssey at the minute.

It can run them but its got a 3:2 rather than 4:3 screen, if you're deadset on playing LOTS of PS1 might be better with something like the 353p or 351v which has a 4:3 screen

PSX will work on 351p though if its more of an ocassional thing, I own none of these consoles, I looked at them all and bought a DS instead

Stop downloading full ROM sets.
Download your games one at a time.
Read the booklets and other materials that would have come with the game as if you had just bought it.
Read a few magazine reviews and learn a few pro tips to help you get further into the game and become invested in it.

yeah but outdated SoC is not. if you bought one of these 3 years ago, it's completely obsolete now. if you bought one now, it'll be obsolete in a years time, the hardware for these things just isn't there yet to not make you fucking regret your purchase. with all the money you've spent, you could've gotten a top of the line phone that actually DOES play everything.

i'll agree with the controller thing, if and only if your criteria are the way you listed. most people aren't looking for all that.

>Still plays /vr/ games

My GBC from 1998 still plays games and is still fun, just because newer models come out doesn't meant these consoles aren't still playable and fun. Power is only useful if you have an actual use case for it, you don't need a fast snapdragon processor or 120hz screen to play SNES and Ps1

Mobile phones are obsolescent at launch, and you are going to need to replace them far more often than a games console because of planned obsolescence enforced via lack of software support. If I had to restart using my phone from 2013 now almost none of the stuff I use for daily life would work, whereas my consoles from the time all work just as well as they did when I bought them. Even as a romfaggot that ran lineage and now graphene os on my phone for enhanced longevity and performance the lifespan of a phone is abysmal compared to almost any other piece of tech I can think of

Also most of these consoles are between $50-150, nowhere near top of the line phone prices. I would also make the point that getting a phone that's better as a content consumption device often means it being way worse an actual phone and digital assistant, but I suppose that will differ by use case.

I don't understand people that don't want to use headphones, you just play with the speaker on when you're not in private? You're subjecting the guy on the train to bingbing Wahoos on your way to work?

The thing is though, the SOCs are now at an acceptable point to emulate most retro systems that this board would care about with Cortex-A76 and Cortex-A55 cores in SOCs like the RK3588. The main barriers now is technically form factor, cooling, pricing and software where the last part is the real main issue for ARM in general. If you buy a top end SOC now, it won't stop doing what it can do at present 4-5 years later. Sure, you can probably get something very efficient and more optimized down the line but what is available is more than sufficient for the higher end needs of people buying them.

>Mobile phones are obsolescent at launch, and you are going to need to replace them far more often than a games console because of planned obsolescence enforced via lack of software support.
anon you're acting like this point isn't also strongly related to these handhelds. most of them aren't even running the latest android because they fucking can't. there's already a lack of software support built in to most of these devices.
>>9353732
i'd agree, but it seems to me that any SoC you are getting with these handhelds even when they're "updated" are still 2-3 years behind what we currently have available in smartphones. given you can get a used s21 right now for somewhere under 300, that can play dreamcast, ps2, and gamecube stuff right now pretty much flawlessly, it makes no sense to me to just keep buying these things every 6 months when they get refreshed. only really seems like the more expensive 400-600 things like odin pro and the like are capable of doing what my phone already can. that's why i'm a little annoyed at the idea of wasting so much cash. it's whatever though. if you just think they're neat that's cool. speaking of form factor, some of these newer devices coming out DO actually look neat. i just think the quality of the internals isn't there.

>What was fixed on the C version? Is the d-pad any better?
The dpad and abxy are now membranes
Battery went from 450mAh to 600mAh
Analog sticks are now sleek and (maybe) don't drift after a year (i felt them better)
Bluetooth module went from a high consumption 4.0 protocol to a low consumption 5.0 one
The former statement affected performance in two ways, one, battery now last at least 3 weeks of maybe 1 hour of gaming compared to almost a week with the 9083 and 2 weeks with the 9083s; and two, the pairing is now instantanious when connecting to any device and when switching modes; compared to around 10-13 seconds of the former versions
Graphics are cooler imo and are hydro dipped this time, last time the "red and blue" version a friend had felt cheap af after 1 month, i've had mine for 1 year no problem
The normal version felt cheaper on the hand and now it feels more premium (a bit heavier? Maybe the bigger battery?)
Also, this last one is a bit personal i guess but the buttons being membranes help me to put more hours into gaming as i can now play when the wife is watching something on tv as the buttons are dead silent now; i wish the triggers were analog but this is pretty much a god controlller as is, also it can hold almost any device on the clamp, my tab s8 ultra BARELY fits on landscape mode so i always use it on portrait orientation, but given it's the biggest device i've seen i think it will hold everything, but on the other hand smaller phones (like my xperia mini pro, measuring 3 inches tall) need spacers to fit, i just add a piece of acrylic on one side and it fits pretty sturdy

I wanted to get an Anbernic but in the end the fact you can't easily swap the battery killed it for me. I settled for a Powkiddy V90 which is way cheaper, the screen is better protected, only needs a single SD card, has custom firmware and most importantly the Nokia battery can be changed without issue.

Does anybody else have this 30 USD handheld? Apparently some people managed to play a few neat emulators with it, overall squeezing its potential.

Why even bother using Android in the first place when these devices have such a limited use case? Pretty much all of these handhelds have minimal online features outside of scraping game info and rarely online multiplayer so something like an RG351V would probably have a much longer life compared to a Retroid Pocket 3 because of it's vidya focused and almost bloatless Linux installs. Linux OS's tend to be a way better option if all you want to do is play videogames and don't need all the bloat Android introduces.

Only real reason to use Android I can think of is Drastic for DS emulation or CitraMMJ for 3ds

But DS or 3ds on a non DS handheld is always crap, may as well get a cheap 2ds or something if you want to play those games specifically, or just use a computer so you can use the mouse.

The IPS screen is ridiculously good for the price, although I don't remember exactly which phone used it back in the day. The screen tearing on the other hand is very minimal and for some reason some games aren't even affected at all. I do think you need a bit of luck though, especially since some units appear to be more defective than others. Also, beware of scalpers. The price range of a V90 is anything between 30 to 40 USD. Any other reseller that offers it at a lower or higher price is simply sketchy and not worth it. I would suggest an AliExpress price tracker so you can find the better deal out there. Of course, don't even bother with ads coming from low rated sellers, with low number of orders and reviews. Sorry for being so wordy about this but I would like to help in any way I can.

That's debatable, especially if your emulating on your personal phone and not a dedicated device. That's personally why I don't emulate on my phone, I want a dedicated device for games so I don't run down the battery on my phone because I use it for work, not to mention clipping a controller to a phone isn't very pocket friendly.

Nintendo are incapable of making an unqualified good product, there is always some weird caveat or qualification, but this is probably as close as they'll ever get.

You should get one of these if you don't have one, they're super cheap now, i got a nib one for £100 and am not going to be handing Nintendo a penny for anything. took about 15 minutes to flash custom firmware and install the community stuff.

Glad I bought this instead of some Chinese thing, might pick one up at some point for PS1 on the go though

I'd love my 3DS more but after playing a Vita and a tRG353P I just can't go back to the 2DS XL screen, it's blurry as FUCK.
Also the console itself feels super flimsy and it has some issues with emulation like PS1, N64 and Saturn.

The Vita would be my go to handheld but it struggles with SNES, GBA and Saturn too. In the end I ended up settling with the RG353p, it's the best middle point between the other two. I kinda miss PSP a little and I hate having to jump between different consoles but for 3DS and PSP I have no choice dammit.

The reason why they are outdated is because buying Snapdragon, Dimensity or Exynos which are in smartphones means you have to buy in smartphone quantities to get them. For handheld makers, they can't do that so they flock to the smaller ARM SOC players that supply SBCs and other embedded products which use outdated ARM IP to get their main chips. By the time you can buy a phone at the prices handhelds are going for at the moment, the SOC makers the handheld manufacturers use are smart enough to use the "newest" 2-3 years behind the cutting edge tech to outdo what you can get in an old phone. That way, the choice presented becomes if you want to use an older used device/electronics you have to jerry rig or harvest from older phones somehow from a shady Chinese used electronics scrapper dealer or get something from the factory made which isn't cutting edge which is an easy choice.
The issue with internals is valid but then that really becomes a matter or BOM used to make the product and what you are expecting. You can't expect great handheld quality for anything in the $50-150 USD range most of these handhelds are being sold for. You have to look at the premium stuff that is "overpriced" in your view with that pricetag of $300+ to get what you want with premium materials. Same with every other piece of electronics from phones to TVs to laptops.

I get what you're saying, but all it's telling me is that the device i already have, and will likely always have a more up to date version of, will always be better to use for emulation than these handhelds, which will always be 2-3 years behind. I get the idea that an all in one product looks cooler and whatnot, but they lose their appeal because they're already so outdated.

I think this won't be much of a problem in another year or two's time, when things like the snapdragon 888, 8 gen 1 SoC's, or their equivalents are easier to source for companies like this. We'll eventually see an affordable retroid type device that can run gamecube/ps2/dreamcast stuff with minimal issues. To me, only then will they really be worth it as a dedicated device.

The unpleasant truth is that a lot of people are fools and retarded and convenience wins over anything else for them to the point that they are willing to pay huge premiums to get that over jerryrigging a good deal phone with a Kishi and the consumer mindset also drives people to waste their money.
Current Snapdragons from the last few years since the 865 are relative mobile housefires where the performance while good comes at too high of a price in power usage and most people don't need that kind of computational power. You really only need to do everything up to 6th generation really well along with PSP/DS and doing enough of the 7th generation to have a "good enough" device. I argue that getting to the sweet spot of "good enough" mobile chip performance is already technically here with Cortex A76 SOCs to get that sort of performance target along with general use case quickness which you can find in the Logi cloud handheld released recently. The problem is really the other factors I have mentioned which are bigger barriers and in the case of the Logi handheld, it's the price where it should be priced at max $250. When you have enough performance to equal to Intel's 6000-7000 processors which surpass desktop Core 2000/3000 series where desktop and laptop computing performance became good enough for most people's computational tasks as seen with what ARM Cortex can do, I would argue that is where the sweet spot of good enough is in mobile as well and emulation.

I sperg'd on this for a long time because I was mad that the RG351MP -- a supposedly superior machine -- did not have a GBA setting that looked as good as bicubic + grid 2x on the RG350M. I finally found two options:

Filter: Grid 2X
Shader: Bandlimit Pixel (go to shader settings and turn it down real low, like 0.1)

Filter: Grid 2X
Shader: Bicubic (Same thing, go to shader settings and turn it way down)

I did this side by side with my RG350M and the first option looks identical to the RG350M with bicubic / grid 2x. If you like the LCD look, this is the way.

If you don't like the LCD look, use bilinear 2x prescale like anon said.

Don't forget that the default GBA emulator on Amber Elec can't run all GBA full speed (FF6 intro is a good way to test) so use gbSP instead.

Because resolution and screen size are not the same thing and independent of each other. Having at max 720p/1080i in the 7th generation of consoles, any mid-end handheld can easily display that at native resolution, it's not a problem at all and probably is better as the smaller size minimizes the faults of early 3D games alongside the enhancements you can apply to them.

Just put together my custom DMG. It's redundant with my GBA, but I have a lot of nostalgia for the form factor of the original Game Boy. Also I really liked the shell when I saw it online and decided that now was the time. Annoyed that in the one second it took me to drop the screen lens into place two pieces of dust stuck to the lens, but I don't notice it unless I focus on it.

I love the lack of steam deck in here. What a retarded device from Valve. It is way too big to go anywhere with and the people who bought them will be playing it in front of their capable PC 99% of the time. Any one with a social life would never carry that behemoth into public, you would like like a fucking idiot. Sales on it are dismal as well. I preordered late until I saw the actual size of the thing. My preorder was moved from Q4 2022 to Q3 2022, assuming others mass canceling as well. Valve just can't get shit right anymore.

>>9364638
I haven't tried Grandia 2 on it yet, but Skies runs perfectly without frameskip, and even has enough overhead to fast-forward at 2x or not far from it depending on what's on screen. This is how most Dreamcast games on the thing, sometimes you'll have to bounce between Flycast and Redream to see which runs better so you can turn off frameskip. Carrier is one that runs fullspeed without frameskip in Redream but not Flycast, and MvC2 is the opposite from what I understand (I haven't tested that one).

It's good enough to play everything at fullspeed WITH frameskip enabled, at the very least. Something more demanding like Crazy Taxi 2, without frameskip disabled, is often in the 40s. With it on, it plays fullspeed and is perfectly playable, but I can easily tell it's not as smooth as it could be and it triggers my autism.

So basically, yes. It's not 100% perfect for DC since sometimes you might need frameskip, but it's close enough considering everything else I've played so far didn't need frameskip, and ecelebs don't even seem to notice the frameskip. Saturn emulation is the one that really gives me problems.

Ahh, that sucks m8. It may also be worthwhile to check out X18s by Powkiddy. I don't have one, but the chip in that is a bit stronger than the one in the RP3, which in turn is a bit stronger than the one in the 353 series. I don't know the specifics of how Skies and Grandia 2 run on the 353s though, so maybe someone else can answer.

Nintendo's entire handheld line has always been defined by terrible hardware being carried hard by excellent software

Every Gameboy and DS actually fucking sucked, the closest Nintendo came to a good handheld was the original advance but that sucked because they forgot to put a fucking lightbulb behind the screen, and the SP sucked because they forgot the headphone jack.

Getting a small emulation handheld and setting a basic filter to get the colours right is the absolute best way to play these systems, even DS and 3DS which have two screens, one of which is touch enabled, for 2.5 times the fucking aggravation to properly emulate are far superior on literally anything that isn't a Nintendo handheld that can run them at full speed

Basically, the Retro Engine was designed for dynamic width, because Android devices have really varied dimensions that aren't just 16:9.

Although Sonic Mania was only ever made for 16:9 devices, internally it can operate at any narrower portrait resolution just fine.
Going wider, I think might need extra work? When I tried it on the initial Windows release, it would cause funky rendering issues.

Point is 4:3 works fine, menus and title card look a bit cut off, but actual gameplay functions just fine and boss fights that are confined to the width of one 16:9 screen (like Flying Battery Zone Act 2) have a fully working camera in 4:3.

For your use case I'd recommend the Powkiddy V90, it runs everything pre PS1 but it runs around $40. At the same time I really wouldn't recommend going cheaper than that since emulation performance is likely going to be dogshit and you shouldn't get a handheld that you can't load your own roms into, the ones they come with tend to be awful. The Bittboy pocketgo line is also pretty good but I'm not even sure if they're still being sold anymore so buying one second hand may be your only choice on that front.

i feel the same way. i'd be weary of scratching the fuck out of them that way. kids with gameboys and shit would do that when i was a kid and their hardware always looked ravaged. would rather keep it in a case or something.

totally fair. i am personally using my xbox controller with a clip with my phone because i only use it to play games while at home, and i haven't seen a single telescopic controller that looks as comfortable to play with. i was thinking of TRYING either the kishi v2 or gamsir x2 pro out, just to see. amazon's got their extended holiday return period up now so anything i do get can be returned as late as january 30th. we'll see.

Because no one is pretending those are pocketable devices. Retro handhelds still have their niche in that they are far more portable than a Switch or a Deck. The trade-off is you can't play nearly as many games.

I mean software, not hardware. GG is a vertical game, I'd hate for a compatible platform to not support that part especially when something like MAME has it right in there.

It seems obvious that it would be supported since it's software, but I don't trust random fly-by-night hardware makers. Too many bad experiences in the past.

I suppose the thing I meant to say was that I would be happier if the device was comfortably usable in vertical format.

Love playing my GBC on the subway when I'm going across the city. I've been looking for high score attack games, bite sized games for 10-15 minute subway rides. Got a 50 dollar multicart from FB Marketplace.

I tried to browse /r/gameboy for game recs but 99% of the posts are people posting their 20-30 Gameboy collection, or a modded GB on the Pokemon start screen. It feels like no one over there likes playing games, they just hoard/collect every GB they can get their hands on. I feel like that's why I'm okay playing with a multicart, the prices for games are fucked these days, or at least where I live.

Here's a few of my favorites:
Tobu Tobu Girl Deluxe - Homebrew, jump on platforms to climb higher, with a dash and double jump. Puts a bit of a twist on the Doodle Jump style game.

QIX Adventure - I've only played the Classic mode, but god damn this version of QIX is very fast and addictive. I'm curious if the QIX things have some sort of pattern I can learn or if it's too random.

Shock Lobster - Homebrew, a game where all you do is input attacks (Hold Up and B, hold L and A), and jump over attacks from a boss. Really addictive, unlockable attacks which I don't even know what they do, but it's fun to grind and unlock OP attacks.

Revenge of the Gator - Pinball game with 1 giant board. It may seem small at first, but after playing for 5-10 min you learn the wonky physics and can have some fun with it.

Always looking for good high score attack games for GB/GBC! I bought the GBA/multicart but I haven't been having as much fun with the game as the GBC.

I hope you mean flashcart and not one of those 100 in 1 multicarts, since you could get a real flashcart for less than that.
As far as GB/GBC games go, I mostly just play Tetris if I want to play something quick. The Rosy Retrospection romhack is worth checking out.
The GB version of Donkey Kong is fun in short bursts too.
GBC Pokemon Pinball is worth a shot if you like pinball and somehow haven't played that yet.
The Kirby's Dream Land games are fun and levels are short, but the first one doesn't have saves so you'd have to patch save states in if you don't have a cart that supports them.

It's fucking sick innit?

I was used to the start button the minute I picked it up, which really surprised me. I was expecting to struggle with it for a but, but nope, it actually feels good and natural. The select button is a bit of a pain to hit imo though. Not like I use it a lot anyways, but if it were up to me I'd place next to the L1 button, same distance Start is from R1.

I saw this image while looking around for info and I guess one solution would be to put Start and Select on the top right and top left respectively and use the touchscreen. Seems like a decent workaround.

The placement is ok imo, better than having them on the sides I guess, the only thing I would change maybe is giving the back of the console something to get a better grip, something a bit rugged maybe, for me it's too smooth, but otherwise as you say it's a perfect handheld, nice sound, no more digital sticks, the bumpers feel super good....

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 2 20:12:05 2022 No.9383709 >>9383670 Some early units sent to reviewers had some issues apparently, but the screen is hands down the best thing of the RP3, I don't know what panel they are using but it's fantastic.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 2 20:24:59 2022 No.9383761 >>9383709 I heard it's an iPhone 8 panel.

>>	Anonymous Wed Nov 2 20:29:15 2022 No.9383779 >>9383709 It wasn't even review units, it was pre-production units. And I say units plural, but as far as I know taki is the only one that had one with that issue.

Shout out to the anon who told me to wait for the 353V. This is such a cool little device. If you would have told 9 year old me that one day I could play Tony Hawk on a gameboy I never would have believed you

>>	Anonymous Thu Nov 3 08:22:23 2022 No.9385312 >>9385206 Tiny keyboards are the absolute worst. I just need a console with a wireless keyboard hookup and I'm good I don't care if it's a little more cumbersome, better than that 2007 blackberry phone keyboard experience
