DSi XL is really the best way hardware-wise to play GBA, GB, and GBC games. Lovely IPS screen with huge ass pixels. Too bad the majority of games have some kind of glitch with GBARunner. At least for most of them it's very minor.

The problem with the small 3DS is that you must play GB/C/A games scaled, otherwise it will be literally a game for ants. And scaled they look like shit on 3DS.
With 3DS XL you can play them unscaled with a sick border, it's 3D and the game picture is recessed behind the "virtual plastic" of the fake game boy that makes up the border. And there's a 3D effect on the fake battery light, too, it "glows" in the air in front of the screen.

That's still darker than it should be, but it's better, look at the egg in your pic. There's no grid in the white parts. Also you're cherry picking photos where the contrast is set to dark.

How am I chasing a whale when numerous such shaders already exist? The only thing missing from them is emulation of the contrast slider, I'm sure someone will add it sooner or later. Otherwise they look great, with ambient reflections and shadows and realistic motion blur.

There's only two reasonably minor quibbles I have with it. One is that it's a bit quiet, as in, on the max volume setting, wearing headphones, it's not very loud. I don't really ever need it to be terribly loud, but this makes it so that you're never going to be able to drown out the ambient sounds of the train you're riding on or some such. Second, the A/B/X/Y buttons have quite a bit of travel to them. So you might find yourself pressing a button only for it not to register, since you didn't lift your finger off the button enough. Very different compared to something like the GBA SP buttons with virtually no travel. It'll take a day to get used to probably.

I've been using my Samsung Galaxy M30 smartphone, with the MOCUTE060 controller, to play some RetroArch. As for what I'm playing on it exactly, recently I'm trying out the various versions of The Lion King, I grew up with the one most people are familiar with, the 16bit one, but there are some 8bit versions which I never bothered with, and I'm getting to them now, just completed the Master System/Game Gear version, which was quite decent, and moved on to the NES version, which works, but it's the worst one so far, still playable though.

I don't see a point in the odin stuff. I'm waiting for when something in the odin's price range can really do PS2 games decently. Because there's a lot of tinkering involved with it as of right now. I feel like the RP3+ can do GC games nearly as well, and some PS2 games too. So the odin isn't too enticing for me.

I do get the appeal, as a standard controller is definitely more comfortable and natural, the MOCUTE060 has been serving me well, but the feel of the bumpers, and the low position of both the directional and face buttons, can make it not too comfortable, it also feels quite cheap... the reason I went for it was because I wanted something that resembled a Steam Deck/Nintendo Switch/PSP/GBA form factor, horizontal with the controls on the sides. Of course I did consider a dedicated handheld, but the MOCUTE060 was about 1/4 of the price of most handhelds and controllers, at least where I live, so I thought it'd be my ideal option to see if handhelds were a thing for me or not... now I know that they are, so maybe in the future I'll allow myself to spend more on a different setup that's more comfortable, though for the time being I'm fine, though I always worry that this device won't last too long considering the mediocre built quality and low price point.

I plan to do that, but.
1) it's simply too big and not very convenient. I'll give it to handhelds, they're just a convenient form factor. and today's phones all have ultra-wide screen format, which is pointless for retro.
2) depending on if you use USB or BT, there may be input lag.
3) controllers like razer kishi are expensive enough that you may just want to get a handheld instead.
4) like anon above said, anything but Saturn and 6th gen can be played even on old hardware.

Voted on by some gamefaqs users 9 years ago so you know they're not gonna be too cucked. Keep in mind the PS1 pack is 78GB and the Dreamcast pack is 128GB, every other platform there is tiny in comparison to those two.

But what I mainly like about these packs is they don't include all the shovelware (especially all the junk on GBA) so it actually becomes worth it to pick a random game to play.

I didn't really want an Anbernic device. From both what I've heard and seen, they seem like the knock off brand even among knock off brands. Couple that with the wonky shoulder buttons and reported battery issues, the 5XX didn't seem better than the Miyoo Mini Plus. I think the only upside of the 5XX is that the processor is a little better, but that doesn't seem useful for running more devices than the Mini can run.

Now for the RG35XX the build quality is good and really sturdy that you can even compare to the RG280V which is built like a tank. The D-pad sensitive problem is lottery if you will need to open to fix it, but the same goes for the Miyoo Mini Plus screen problem where is lottery if yours is going to come off because was not properly glued.
But if you already got the Miyoo Mini Plus just have fun playing games. Yesterday I finished Aladdin from the Mega Drive and started playing Goof Troop on my RG35XX.

Is just sensitive inputs which happens a lot in this types of handhelds devices and joysticks. For example when you press down the input it can also register left or right at the same time. It's a easy fix where you just open the device and put a tape in the input board.

kek yeah I was pretty fucking floored when he claimed he was planning to have all batch 1 orders shipped by May 10th a week or so ago. Now that we've officially missed the April shipping start date he set for himself since chinks are on holiday until May, he's now created new deadlines: the 10th to start shipping metal and the 15th to start shipping plastic. I feel like these are at least more realistic than the April 10th and "by the end of April" shipping deadlines he created a while back, but still.

Kishi v2 looks slick, but I dont like the switch style sticks. The designers said it was done to improve dead zone, but I dont think that was a problem with the v1. The usb-c connector can also scratch depending on the phone, but it seems to only happen to the thin one's. Don't get the gamevice flex since that has alot of the problems with build quality as the kishi. If you like gamesir v1, the v2 is a good option for analong triggers.

You get an LG phone (V60, G8) with the dual screen attachment, do some configuration on the Android OS for best performance, and then emulation side to get both screens just right and emulate, I'm not joking. You can still get them for an okay price but it will cost you more than a used DS since DSes were everywhere and LG phones despite LG pulling out of the market still have a good chunk of use and support left. Once those run out which they will soon, you'll need to resort to folding phones, which will be in bad shape on the used market even if you manage to find a current generation folding phone so good luck. I supposed someone can also try making a handheld like that but that's going to take a lot of hoping when these consoles are made with off the shelf near ewaste tier in the below $100 category.

The best solution would be to grab something like the no intro set then filter out any non-German games using romcenter. There should be guides on YouTube how to use it, although I can't speak for if there's a guide specifically for German roms. At a pinch you could search for 'de' in the filename and manually sort through them. There's also the Hardware Target Game Database, which does have roms sorted by region, but YMMV on how useful that actually is.

They're nice when they work, but it's just not worth the hassle when later versions (1.45) of Snes9x3ds broadly outperform injects without the clutter. You can doll it up with specific game art and borders to split the difference from injects if you want customization.

I was wondering if anyone here could help me figure out what I need to get if I want something that can properly do SNES, NES, GB, GBC, GBA and Genesis?

my friend lent me his powkiddy v90 to look at and its honestly trash, the dpad is completely horrible and it lags on many SNES games, the sound also drops in and out.

do I need to spend like $150 to get something worth buying? I just want to get something my 8 year old can play old games on and I will play it occasionally so I want it to have SNES quality d-pad and buttons, what do I need to be looking at to achieve this? thanks for any help.

If you mean something aside from other handheld PCs, no. The D1200 in the GPD XP+ is quite good though, and the upcoming Aya Pocket Air is probably gonna be around that same level of performance. I've seen chinks on Baidu say something about the Odin 2 coming out in the second half of the year with a SD870, which is also about the same level of performance as the D1200. There's also the upcoming RG506 that will have a D1200, but frankly that seems even more vaporware than Odin 2.

I guess the problem with the XP+ is that while it's small compared to handheld PCs, it's still pretty big by ARM chinkheld standards. It's also just over $300. I'm expecting similar size and cost for all the upcoming devices. The Pocket Air is for sure around that size since it looks like it uses the same (or slightly modified) shell as the Aya Neo Air.

Not very. There are some flaws that were never ironed out in regard to emulation. For example, every GBA game will give you noticeable screen tearing, regardless of emulator choice.

What kind of filters did you have in mind? Because the most recent version of onion OS I'm on has 30 to 50 different screen filters you can apply. I didn't keep track of how many there were exactly, but there's quite a few. There's one in particular that makes SNES games like Donkey Kong Country look insanely good. Very subtle effect that sort of gives it that quasi pixel pronounced crt kind of look. Hard to describe exactly but it does look mighty nice.

Went back to the Game Gear and Master System versions of The Lion King. I grew up with the Windows version, which I could never complete because I got stuck in the Hakuna Matata level, especially thanks to the logs... anyways I went for the Genesis version in the last few years, as it was the main console I grew up with, and loved it... but I have to say, the 8bit SEGA version ain't that far behind, and that's why I went for more playthroughs, to complete them on the hardest difficulty, because I had a genuinely good time with it, the collision detection for swinging on things is somewhat better, and the level design is new, instead of just porting everything over, it's is own thing, and quite an excellent one, I definitely recommend it. Also, the fact that I could play this from the comfort of my bed, relaxed, thanks to my RetroArch (Galaxy M30 + MOCUTE060) setup makes me love these things even more, it's serving me well.

I just want to play up to 16 bit, so I don't need analog sticks or fancy specs. I do want a decent screen and not too small.
Kinda crazy that there's still no handheld that fulfills my basic requirements. RG35xx and Mini + come close, but the screen is probably a bit small and the vertical form factor would probably give me cramp after a while. RG405m looks pretty good and I love the aspect ratio but the D-pad is in the wrong place (morons, what were they thinking). Which leaves the RP3+ but I'll still be playing with massive black bars on either side for my systems of choice. And it's weird that the 405m and RP3+ are triple the price of the 35xx/mini+ while giving me very little extra value as someone who only goes up to 16 bit.

The worst thing about these retro handhelds is that they are incentivised not to make one that's too good because then people won't buy the next one, and as a hardware company they only make money off their devices, unlike Nintendo, Sony, or Valve who just want you to to own the system so you'll buy games from them.
So you end up with purposely designed flaws, like the RP3's Start/Select buttons being on the top for no reason other than to bother you just enough so you'll buy the next iteration that inevitably fixes that problem while adding another.

Not for the fucking Go you're not. Sony dropped the memory stick format for the Go and switched to M2 cards. They're about the size of a microSD, so no adapters, and were wildly unpopular so Sony dropped them before they could release anything over 16GB.

No problem, anon! I hope you enjoy it. I wouldn't say that the Genesis version is way better than the SNES, but I do prefer it and it's the version I recommend to people between them, because of the 2nd level, and there's a couple of reasons for that, the 1st is that the wider resolution on the Genesis makes it easier to see what's coming ahead, so it helps I'm the ostrich section, and the 2nd is a part where you're forced to swing on the hippos tails in the SNES version, poor collision detection and all, but that you can skip on the Genesis version by jumping on the nose of a hippo that's above, which for some reason doesn't work on the SNES version.

I already have a miyoo mini plus which I think is fantastic, so I'm waiting more or less for the RP4 or RP4+ at this point.

PS2 and GC games are so hit and miss even with tweaking I'd rather wait for a RP4 that'll make PS2/GC games perform better. That'll be the jump forward for me.

Anons, the specs is wrong even someone in the video comments said. The comment said that is 720p, but after looking he is also wrong because Powkiddy is doing the same thing that Anbernic did with the RG351P which has the screen resolution of 320*480 while people think it's 480*320.
The screen resolution for the Powkiddy x28 is 720*1280.

You create demoralization and feed it to the sneedle cattle so they can pretwnd it's normal. Its also why Tom evenutally becomes almondfied with a higher pitched voice and a gayer outfit. He's trying to fight back by pretending to be one of them. But by chaning the disease carriers to black, its a warning sign to the white man telling them the only way they can win is through force, not love.

I tried this briefly but there are too many games that simply don't play right on a handheld, even a really good one.

If you like PC focused genres or just like shooting games or RPGs PC is the way to go, trying to play Isometric style RPG's on the steam deck was a pain in the ass never mind stuff like fast paced shooters or games with tons of buttons to be pushed like immersive sims and simulator games

At least it's in the right location. It's not a great d-pad compared to what the chinks are turning out, but it still shits all over the PS4/5 and Switch d-pads imo.

The Switch Lite D-pad is better. The problem with SD is that it's too close to the edge and it's impossible to press diagonals on it.

>> No.9879291

I'll have to take your word on that because the d-pad on the Switch Pro is one of the worst d-pads I've ever used, and the regular Switch with joycons doesn't even have a real d-pad. For the SD diagonals you have to break it in as retarded as that is. Regular gameplay doesn't cut it, you have to run your thumb in circles over the thing for like 10 minutes with a good amount of pressure.
