Honestly if you don't mind the d-pad placement, aspect ratio, and don't need something "pocketable" I'd say this completely and utterly BTFOs the 353 devices aside from the 503 and m. Of course I'm just going off of specs and video footage, maybe the tradeoff is it explodes in your hands after a week of usage.

[Anonymous No.9879507]

>>9879478
I don't know how I didn't realize that, but you're right. Same position on my Vitas and I never even thought about it there. I guess the issue with the placement on the Odin is due to the shape and size difference.

The flip is cool but I’m not sure where it fits in. I might get rid of one of these. Too much overlap

[Anonymous No.9879557]

A lot of NES games actually aged way better than I thought, yeah yeah zoom zoom etc I just didn’t bother to emulate them much until I got a chink handheld, playing the punisher right now it’s a lot of fun.

I blame the faggot that was complaining the unfinished plastic grey didn't look like the metal grey render. Really bizarre expectation to have if you're ordering plastic but w/e. The finished plastic grey looked really good imo, but I think that comment spooked Nil into worrying about people giving him shit for their plastic device not looking metal. I feel bad for everyone that wanted a darker or more muted color since Nil suddenly decided he hates blacks kek.

Do you think you're actually going to change? Or just wait until batch 2?

This is just my gay faggot opinion, but I'd keep the Flip since it's the only one that can do Saturn and Dreamcast well. I really like the 353m, but if you're really attached to the hardware emulation or screen of the Analogue, I'd sell the 353m. Otherwise I'd sell the Analogue.

I remember being a teen playing the FF III remake on DS and thinking a Final Fantasy fighting game would be the coolest shit ever. I almost bought a PSP too for it before I saw the gameplay. It seemed confusing to say the least, so I put it off.
I kind of regretted it later on since it seemed like the perfect device to emulate GBA and SNES games portably at the time and I bought all those remakes and ports for the DS like an idiot.

I have an RG351P I bought quite some time ago but I barely use it because I have the habit of doing this with handhelds I don't find all that comfortable, like the O3DS.
Any decent budget (~100€) handheld these days that can be considered ergonomic? I remember liking the idea of either grabbing the RGB10 Max 2 or the RG353P because of the form factor being at least more serviceable than just a brick, but I imagine those aren't great anymore.

how could this happen

[Anonymous No.9883012]

I got JELOS re-installed to my RG353P after UnofficialOS was too fucking slow to boot.

JELOS defaults to the Retroarch hotkey being Select (8) every time I relaunch it, I want it to be the function key (10) since that's the whole point of that key.
After changing "Hotkey Enable" to 10, I've tried stuff like saving the global configuration file from Main Menu, but it's not sticking.
Might it be that the emulation station frontend is forcing the hotkey to reset every time it loads Retroarch?

This previously worked on UnofficialOS and it's annoying.

Under the frontend's system settings, you need to disable a "autoconfigure retroarch hotkeys" option.
Being able to configure those hotkeys from the frontend would be nice.

Testing out this firmware though, the boot time is far better and it seems like the sleep bug is finally fixed, not certain yet though.

I also saw that Anbernic is releasing a refresh of the RG353P very soon, the RG353PS? I'll need to check that out, but it seems to be a weaker spec and cheaper price to reflect that.

from my recollection it drops being able to dual boot into Android and also ditches the touch screen(since the Linux side can't make use of it for some reason)

[Anonymous No.9883806]

>>9883490
The RG353PS is a budget version of the P. No touchscreen, no android, 1GB of RAM. Still the same chip and form factor for a more affordable price. Its direct competitor would be the Powkiddy X55 which is similar in price, but with 2GB of RAM and a big screen (however the form factor is different and I'm not sure about build quality, but I have an RG351P and it's not like Anbernic gives me a reason to choose their products based on build quality).

OP here, i got the RG35xx and it's fun and surely a great buy for a first handheld, but i want something slightly larger. As the RG405 has the stick on the top i was looking at the RG505. Is there any reason not to get it? Price would be 160€.

[Anonymous No.9883880]

>>9883851
personally I'd recommend the RG353P(though everything I say more or less applies to the other 353 series devices* as the internal specs are basically the same across all of them), being able to dual boot between Linux and Android is very handy in my opinion(Android has better performance for Saturn, N64, Dreamcast, and PSP and can take advantage of the RG353P's touch screen for DS usage, while Linux has the advantage of the various Custom Firmwares made for it like JELOS that mean less tinkering around to get right into playing the systems that don't need the extra power or touch screen support Android has) and while it's a bit less powerful then the RG505 I think it has more than enough for the price

also while not probably the most important thing but I do think it's worth bringing up that the 505 doesn't have video out capability while the 353 family of devices do(through a Mini-HDMI port) as that adds a good bit of extra versatility to the devices

*aside from the 353VS and 353PS both dropping Android support and the touch screen(and also less RAM) so that both can be a fair bit cheaper than their full featured predecessors the 353V and 353P

Whilst it's not as ideal as the RG351P's unique 480x320 screen, you can still get a reasonably good picture by using the "Interpolation / Sharp-Bilinear-2x-Prescale" filter.

Using an Everdrive Mini on my GBA. Replaced Goomba with Jagoomba to fix MGS's elevator freeze, but now GBC games are giving me the "This game can't run on Game Boy" error message. Tried Pokemon Crystal too. No problem with regular GB games. Any idea what might be causing this issue? I was under the impression that Jagoomba would work fine for both so long as I had 2 copies of the file, one labeled gb.gba and one labled gbc.gba, which I have done.

Apply that to yourself, clicky dpads are fucking terrible for anything that requires some proper motion. I've had an xbone pad and ended up using the analog more for 2D based games. It's basically the "we know we screwed up with the 360 controller but we don't know how to make a gamepad so let's just put some dome switches in there since most people just use it for inventory shit". Might as well put face buttons in there at that point.

I suggested that because the sale is pretty good and the shipping is fast&free within Europe. Hope they don't make you pay extra cash for importing fees, though.

But yeah, AliExpress is generally a good place to buy for chink consoles from anywhere. Again, you only want to play up to N64/Dreamcast/DS?

The one I linked? Doubt it; you add whatever you want to play. It's pretty easy though.

FC3000 is decent in that budget. V90 too if you're willing to spend a little bit more, although setup is a bit more of a pain since CFW is basically mandatory on that. Neither are going to play near as many games as the more expensive handhelds, but they're ok for a few systems.

Q90 and Q20 mini have the same parts as a V90 in a different shell, so those might be worth checking out too.

I haven't heard a lot of people talk about how good the FC3000 controller is, and it's kinda limited in what systems it'll run, but might be worth a shot. Build quality seems pretty good for what it is though compared to a lot of the other super cheap devices.

Worth mentioning since you talked about playing together that a lot of these, especially the cheap ones, don't really have netplay, although some have HDMI out and support Bluetooth controllers.

Emulators and some ROMs are usually already on each handheld. You're better off throwing a set of the ROMs that you actually want on them though. For a lot of these, there's custom firmware that you'd want to install for more emulators and better performance too, but that's generally a pretty easy process.

Let's see:
-More adequate screens for these games, since most phones nowadays are ultrawide (phone screens only good for DS games horizontally, since vertically you have to deal with bluetooth controllers)
-An unified frontend where nothing gets in the way and all emulators are in the same place without much of a setup (you can even change settings from this frontend)
-Separate device so there's no need to worry about the battery on your phone
-No need to put your phone into a clip or inside a telescopic controller everytime you want to play something or take it out after
-Not top heavy and uncomfortable like using phone clips
-Often handhelds are designed with the correct layout and buttons for retro games instead of focusing on mobile gaming with better analogs but a crappy dpad seen in your average telescopic controller

>More adequate screens for these games
If you have an OLED screen then the blacks just look like part of the bezel so it always looks like the correct aspect ratio, especially at nighttime. My phone can also scale SNES games (which are 256x224) without looking like arse, which can be taken a step further if you apply a CRT shader afterwards; when a Chinkboy hasn't the pixel real estate to accomplish proper scaling nor shaders, I'd argue that my phone's screen is much more adequate for playing retro games.
>An unified frontend
If I should ignore that your argument is automatically invalid by virtue of being ESL, then I put forth, good sir, that it takes 1 second to click on Retroarch
>no need to worry about the battery on your phone
The Chinkboy itself has a battery and a much smaller one than your phone's anyway

Retroarch has a very shitty frontend by itself and half the good emulators on android are standalone with their own quirks. There's a reason why that's not what chinkhelds use as a frontend, even when all the platforms cheaper handhelds run are basically platforms with cores in RA.
>The Chinkboy itself has a battery and a much smaller one than your phone's anyway
And when the chinkboy battery dies, the phone one still works, it's amazing
>Then buy a controller that works for you
There's no telescopic controller with an adequate dpad in the right place to begin with and again, the clip thing really sucks some dick. I have one for my Pro 2, very adjustable. It's even plugged in wired with a very small usb-c to usb-c cable for convenience, and yet I'd rather pick my RG351P for games which is vastly inferior in terms of performance to my current phone.

I never eat mine, so I don't know if they'll poison your kids. The blocks mostly work great though. Sometimes they even still say LEGO on them... but sometimes the tops are flat.

The bagging is different too -- official big LEGO kits say what bag stuff is in... but the Ali-Express kits are a little more of a guess of where to find things. But still... you're talking a quarter of the price. When I got my Voltron it was $45. Compare that to over $200 in the U.S. (which is now over $500 since it's discontinued).

Want an awesome set though? Get one of these books. They never made them in the US due to licensing costs. There are Iron Man, Spider-Man, Batman, Storm Troopers, Avengers... and Kobe Bryant. Each with 52 figures.


I have 3 Anbernics in my cart.
-RG353m (cheapest, and looks like it'll play everything I want... but 3.5 inch screen).
-RG505 (4.95 inch screen holy crap).

Apparently this tutorial works for the 2020 version you have, even though it says it's only for cards before 2019. Just format the card, copy over the files it says, and you should be done. https://gbatemp.net/threads/retrogamefan-updates-releases.267243/

You said you had problems with your Acekard so I assumed you were on stock firmware
