/vr/ - Retro Games

Whose RK3588s are you waiting for? Retroid? Anbernic? Powkiddy?

This thing?

>>10263462
nobody's because i already have all i need, but i'm interested to see how garbage the gameforce is.

Oh boy another thread to shill chinkshit instead ofvactually discuss handhelds

Good, you figured it out.

Play nice. It's as simple as that.

Also; I will take the advice of discussing the hardware more. This was a good take.

>>10263425
SOVL

been playing a pirated copy of megaman x dive offline on my powchaddy x28, the best retro game.

I've been running a phone + controller setup for a few months now, and I figured that giving my impressions could be helpful to those looking into this setup. Now, we have 2 separate things to look at, the phone and the controller, let's look at them one at a time.

So, for the phone, if you use your daily driver, you could get calls/messages while playing... but then again you can also have some major power depending on your phone... as for an old phone, it avoids that issue, and there's a higher chance of it being 16:9, which is helpful to avoid having negative space, which to me is the major issue of this method since most phones are ultrawide, though if you don't mind some stretching, or run your ROMs at 16:9 with things like Genesis Plus GX Wide, then it's manageable, but still an issue. As for the emulation, RetroArch is pretty much perfect for most systems, though I recommend standalone emulators for N64, Saturn, and all 6th generation consoles besides PSP.

We also need a controller, and if you already have an old phone, just getting a controller can be cheaper than a handheld, though the cheap controllers might not feel good, you get what you pay for. Also, if you want a telescopic controller, I haven't found a single one with the PlayStation layout, which I find to be ideal, only Wii U and XBOX styled... but if you prefer using an actual controller instead of a telescopic layout, that's not an issue... the other major issue is with Bluetooth controller, they may have input lag, though I haven't had issues with it, and it's also a separate device with its own battery, so you might run into situations where your phone is charged, but the controller isn't.

I'd say that if you have a phone with good specs, or an old phone, or just prefer to spend less, getting a controller can be better for you than a handheld, but for most people here it's probably better to just go with an actual handheld. I hope this can be helpful to someone.

Does the RP2S need to do the saturation script just like the RP2+?

>>10263702
I didn't realize RP2+ had a saturation script. The screen the 2S comes with is already pretty damn saturated, though, especially after switched to "Increased contrast" under Android display settings. Like with the 3+ I feel a need to use the script.

>>10263729
*didn't feel a need to use

AYANEO didn't pay Retro Goyim Corps off lol.

>>10263512
Who cares let's just talk about handhelds

Aw yeah. Netflix and chill with the SF2000 for the next three hours now that my college classes are dome for the day, and gonna be likely getting my Brazilian turquoise SF2000 in the same style as my lime green one finally when I go over to my parents' place at 6 for dinner and I had my mail sent to them during my move. Gonna just put the recent English firmware update on it cause it's so easy, easier than updating my RG35XX that's for sure.

Teh volumes of times I wanted to scream at assholes in these /hhg/ threads recommendating like $50+ handhelds to people just asking for pocket SNES or Genesis emulation when this is king for either and it's only $20. Feels like assholes recommendating their favourite device when what people are asking for can be done just as well for less than half the price, sometimes even 10,000% less when those two faggots unironically suggested to anons that they buy a Steam Deck for fucking playing SNES games.

>>10263608
I'll use a Galaxy S9 with a DS4 controller and appropriate clip. But it's so top-heavy, especially with the Otterbox more than doubling the phone's weight.

>>10263857
Aw nice, I do have a pic

>>10263857
>>10263863
BEHOLD

>>10263425
If there are people still play old handheld in this day and age, how would be like to use an old phone or PDA to play games?

these 2 anons got me thinking about legacy of psp homebrew scene once again
>>10263837
>>10263839
this game they mentioned came out in 2006, gba emulator was fully functional on psp in 2006 by that point. imagine the fucking shock, a new release on gba you could just play on your psp like nothing. this was unheard of. like the "you had to be there" type of moment
yet here we are, anons here desperately trying to deny psp of its rightful place in history of emulation and homebrewing by claiming it being inferior. show me a chinkheld in 2006 that could fucking do it

>>10263462
Whoever has the most pocketable horizontal one.

>>10263885
homebrews for early 2000s pdas were insane. besides obvious doom ports to getting gb emulator running on it was considered to be top tier. and people didnt even care it wasnt full speed either. considering those old java phones ran most of its native games at like literal slideshows (by design), to a lot people they would totally take slide show'd gb emulator just for cool factor. many puzzle games were playable anyway

>>10263772
I haven't watched, yet but it sounds like Aya torpedoed the performance of the chip with their meme "AYAspace" software.

>>10263772
AYASpace from what I can see seems to be its own front-end/app, but Android is still the base OS. Which is good because after he tried updating it, the app broke.
It just seems to be the chip just isn't terribly optimized well for more demanding 3D emulation. Which is a bummer.

>>10263772
Saturn-sama... you are just too powerful for a $300 device...

>>10264032
Meant for >>10264002

>>10264037
it's that damn blast processing man, even decades later they still can't crack it

>>10263857
>>10263863
I use a Galaxy M30, it seems Samsung's a superb option for this sort of thing, they seem to last a good while before giving us trouble, and have a ton of support too, compared to most Android phones out there at least... also dig the DS4, just a terrific controller, only problems I've ever had with it is that, to me, it looks ugly as sin, and has both that huge touchpad on the middle, and a huge lightbar, besides these things it feels much better than its predeccessors.

>>10263467
Would you prefer if I shill my phone instead?

>>10263772
>wrong chip
I don't understand how he already forgot about his GPD XP+ review a year ago with the same chip running the same games dramatically better. Apparently Ayaspace is hogging something like 30% of the CPU's power.

>>10263425
I just want a faster chip in the v90, maybe with some sort of safe power-off that isnt a headache for instant stop-go-stop gaming. A fast-forward for GBA would be nice just for pokemon. Other than that they dont make better handhelds for under the powkiddy v90 apparently, then you cross the 130 dollar threshold and suddenly you can do 5 more consoles or something crazy, weird there's a donut hole between 40-120 dollars that isnt anywhere middling quality between the heavy hitters and v90 but whatever. Knowing now that starfox 2 is only 30-45mins long Im stoked I didnt get a big son of a bitch handheld just to run an arcade-length SNES game.

>>10263842
SF2000 can all SNES games?!? Ok gonna investigate in a lil while here.

RGB30 might arrive tomorrow if I'm lucky bros more likely day after or monday tho

>>10263842
I love the sound of it, very cozy! Hope you have a good time with your SF2000. I know how college can be quite tiresome, enjoy your well deserved rest, King.

>>10264175
I still don't get why only the V90 went for the SP design... I mean, SP and DS were perfect, how the screen was always protected, and the whole unit was compact, hopefully we get more with those designs...

>>10264201
A shame it hasn't arrived yet, anon. I'm sure you must be very excited, the RGB30 looks fantastic to use, especially with that screen which is quite perfect for GB, GBC and Neo Geo Pocket, Pocket Color and Game Gear, I always emulate some of those on my smartphone, with an LCD grid sort of filter, because it looks nice, but I'm sure that on a RGB30 it's going to look perfect, so make sure to emulate them lots, King.

>>10264201
You must have the same amazon black hole that pretends deliveries happen up to 10pm and then evolve to "tomorrow" and then when its real theyll give you three windows of time and the third is the real one "Arriving today 8-9am" "Arriving 12pm-3pm" "Arriving 4-4:06pm"

>>10264225
Exactly, folds and its just the right size for the games it plays, battery easily swappable and small, battery itself lasts for like 5 or 6 hours, never blurry considering the res is nearly 1:1 with the games its displaying.

>d1200 in reddit game uncle's pocket air performing worse than d900 in an odin lite
jesus fuck aya what did you do

>>10264230
Indeed. I mean, pretty much everyone has some scratches on their smartphone's screens after a while of using it as a daily driver, even if they do take good care of it... so where do the scratches come from? Our pockets, it might not be a huge deal, but between having a few subtle scratches, and none, I'll obviously take the latter, also, if it makes the system easier to carry as well then I'm in! I think my dream would be a DS like system, with a 16:9 screen on top for more modern stuff, and a 4:3 screen on the bottom for retro... but to be honest, in this case, black bars don't mean a whole lot due to the design, so I could play 4:3 stuff on the 16:9 top screen just fine too. I hope one of these companies realizes the money that they're missing out on by ignoring the designs that many people grew up with, afterall they're both some of the best selling consoles ever, the DS and GBA SP.

>>10264256
I really want to know what kind of fags spend twice the amount of the Steam Deck on Aya Neo devices when the software is shit, they use shitty Switch sticks, and the buttons are barely above your regular chinkheld quality. The Loki Zero is $250 and has much higher quality hardware.

>>10263889
>GBA emulation
Gizmondo and GP2X could as well. there were some emulator chinkhelds back then, JXD 301 and Yinlips YDP G53. I think the JXD had a VBA port since the homebrew scene picked it up but the YLP couldn't handle 16 bit emu.

What PSP really beat everyone at emulation wise is PS1, no other handheld could run PS1 that good at the time.

>>10264256
It's hilarious to think the literally-who $159 Gameforce Ace is going to outperform it if they don't similarly fuck up something in software related to CPU.

Another day of thanking God I chose the retroid pocket 3 plus

>>10264318
yuuuup... thinkin it's still the 3+ lads...

update from KT-R1 anon: after repairing it I sold it on ebay. I got a message from the buyer today with pictures. the fucker self-destructed while shipping. I'm out $200.

>>10264347
Jesus christ. It really looks no better than the average chinkshit in practice.

>>10264347
Th-Thanks Nil

>>10264347
Damn bro, that fucking sucks, my sincere condolences

>>10264347
Jeez... I'm really sorry. What a ride this KT-R1 was for you, I wonder if you just got unlucky or it they are like this often for others too, what a disaster.

>>10264347
Jesus FUCKING Christ, that sucks man. I was so worried about something going when I shipped mine off. Why did you finally sell yours, if you don't mind me asking? For me it was just down to the d-pad and weight. I liked everything else about it.

>>10264361
the volume down button would stick, the d-pad was mushy and squeaked because it rubbed against the shell, and the face buttons would stick under the shell if you pushed on the edge. also I rediscovered my hate for android after finding that it would randomly have 200ms audio delay, and it would come and go for no reason. despite being around the same size as my Vita, it was heavier and much less ergonomic. the main reason I bought it was for the screen, which looked amazing, but it was not worth the trade-offs.

>>10264180
At launch it had issues running SNES and GBA games where you had to load a game, exit, then re-open the game for it to run properly. 3D GBA and SNES games like Tony Hawk's Downhill Jam and Star Fox. A new firmware since the launch one has fixed these issues and all new models have the updated firmware, old ones you can just load it onto the card from a computer by just drag and dumping the files.

Despite the SNES layout, it is ultimately best for Genesis games tho.

>>10264347
Other KTR1 anon here. What the fuck happened? Looks like someone ran over it in a truck.

hmmmmmmm wonder why taki is getting way better performance in his Pocket Air videos that no one else can replicate, just like his RP2+ videos. Curious...

explain to me why i shouldn't buy the RG405V for 150 dollars with shipping included to Europe

This wulff dan guy says it's better than the RG405M even though they have the same components. But I like more the design of the RG405M. Does anyone know if the rg405m actually worse?

>>10263425
are we still fighting????

>>10263608
i prefer tablet if im using phone app emulation
tablet doesnt have all the faggy notifications my normal daily driver has
+bigger screen, better battery life, supports 2P etc
also allows normal wired controllers or 2.4ghz\bluetooth
so you dont have to compromise and use the shittiest chinese buttons in the world

>>10264571
>This wulff dan guy says
he says a lot things m8

I recently got an RG353PS. I think it's the one fellas.
>inb4 it doesnt run psp, ps2, gc, etc
Don't care

>>10264596
what do you mean with this image

>>10264571
Consider RP3+ instead, or even the 2S. 405M has the screen unglue and fall off far too often, look it up. The 405V is fuckhuge, wider than a DMG. T618 can't do PS2, GC and 3DS for shit if that's what you're into, so bear that in mind.

>>10264598
How's the d-pad? Hate the 353V's, false diagonal hell.

>>10264581
YES

Is there a phone grip that doesn't feel like a third party bargain controller yet. I have the razer kishi and it's good in a "third party controller" kind of way

>>10264771
retroids are very overpriced in europe, my only option is abernic
i'm fine if it's big, i will be playing at home anyway
about T618, I've watched some videos and they were running games of those platforms decently, so I wouldn't say they can't do them for shit.

what other option would I have then?

>FPGA 3DS clone
omg

>>10264798
I just use cheap ones, so I can't help you from my personal experience, but I hear good things from both the Razer Kishi V2 and Backbone One, they both have the highest prices in this market niche, so they're probably the most well built you'll find here. I hope they suit your needs if you choose to get one eventually.

>>10264891
This is honestly a good thing considering how scalped to shit 3DSs currently are. The fact that it could have even better screens makes it better.

>>10264304
>emulation wise is PS1
proprietary sony's emulator

I'm really interested on buying an AOKZOE A1 Pro.
Thoughts?
How is this batch of consoles from AOKZOE?

>>10265120
what the fuck

>>10265165
wut

>>10264347
What the fuck happened, it looks like it started to melt. Did the battery explode?

>>10264347
so it's no different than psp

>>10265165
I bet it it can't even play ps2 games

>>10264154
ayaspace didn't even run on his machine.

>>10264571

>>10264387
>randomly have 200ms audio delay
this explains my kindle shitting itself in select games, feels more like 500ms for my stuff. Never more disappointed than when I thought it was bluetooth being weird, turned it off, went to in-speaker and it still happened. Its like those select nintendo games where you just have to give up because it'll never sound right at 99.999 or 101.00000% emu speed and itll never lock at 100.00000% so you go muted or go nuts listening to the stuttering.

>>10265120
I'd advise against it. I purchased the non-Pro version secondhand, the display started going crazy within a month. I managed to get my money back from the seller, but I imagine it would be much more difficult when buying directly from AOKZOE. Personally I'm only comfortable with spending around $150 on chinkshit devices since that debacle, anything more and I need a local warranty service. Just get the Steam Deck, ROG Ally or wait for Legion Go, you get actual warranties with those. UMPCs are too expensive to just buy blind straight from China.

>>10265194
Even the non-Pro version could play any PS2 game I threw at it, but some needed as high as 15W cTDP. I remember "Wallace and Gromit and the Curse of Were-Rabbit" in particular, that game broke completely (black screen) when multi-core enhancements were turned on and needed high cTDP to play without slowdowns otherwise.

>>10265274
I personally think it's more of a case of AYANEO fucking up drivers or optimization in some other way. In his review of GDP XP+, Taki claimed that he made software tweaks to it that made it perform 30% better and that GPD was going to include them in retail units. I always take what he says with a huge grain of salt, but maybe he was telling the truth that time, seeing how poorly Pocket Air performs.

>>10265165
westerners will gobble it up

you mean there isn't a rk3588 handheld yet? The chip's been out for a year it's starting to feel dated by now.
I wonder if any of these handhelds will pick up that mediatek chip with only big cores.

Let me guess: you still need more.

>>10264891
>fpga
Cannot imagine it will be anything but insanely expensive. Imagine the number of gates required.

>>10265548
There is one device there that can play them all. I honestly don't understand why you'd need more than the deck, other than size restrictions

>>10265554
I don't have one because I don't even want to entertain the idea of playing on something that big and heavy on bed.

I have duplicates of everything that has more than one side. Do I manually have to hide them all?

Also, how do you switch disk sides on emulation system?

Got a MM+ a few days ago. I like it alot but the PS1 volume caps out a little low.

>>10265593
No buttons, no buy. iPhone's form factor is just not comfortable for games that aren't designed for fat-finger touchscreens.

One of these is tempting me, do I?
>Wuts the alternative
Just books

I believe currently the best deal is the RG505 for $90 on temu (you will need to download the app in your phone and put the code Afq64259 that will always get you 50% off your first order when downloaded to a new device within the first hour.

It has the same CPU (T618), GPU and RAM as the Retroid Pocket 3+ and the RG405V and RG405M. And has an OLED screen.

This offer is sadly not available in Europe, seems to only work for USA.

>>10264771
The dpad feels great to me. I haven't noticed anything regarding false diagonals but I also don't play fighting games.
>>10265757
I got one recently via Temu using the coupon, came to like $50 USD with shipping. I got the "retro" one that's gray but the transparent white was my second choice. I highly recommend it. It looks and feels great, plays up to PS1 very well, and has a surprisingly good sleep mode. I left it on sleep for 2 days and it only went from 100% to 86%. I've gotten several handhelds and now that I have the RG353PS I genuinely feel satisfied and don't feel like getting any others.
>captcha PS2HAM
lol

>>10265789
me again, actually the best deal is probably pre-ordering the gameforce which will come with the new generation chipset, there's one for 70 dollars with a RK3566 and one for 150 dollars with a RK3588s. But it's very risky, I've never heard about this company before and have no idea if they will not release a piece of shit console.

>>10265617
Chinglish is so absolutely adorable.

>>10265830
They're not completely unknown, they made this thing two years ago.

>>10263425
Question from a techlet, could you run SymbianOS games in a N-gage emulator?

>>10265838
Kind of triggered that their first device had ergonomic control offsets and babby grips on the back while their new handheld doesn't. Still probably would've taken the gamble and pre-ordered one if d-pad was on top.

>>10265880
>>10265838
yeah its weird, 64 dollars for the old one, 70 for the new and yet I nearly want the old one seeing what it can do in that secret price range nobody can do above SNES or below Dreamcast, yet there it is inbetween.

>>10265480
>>10265513
classic just-phone consequences, especially the androids, thankfully it was 25 dollars and only crashes in the heavily modded stuff, but yeah theres a reason I jumped to smaller handhelds with more single purpose use. Tablets can do it all but massive and still just as buggy as phones bouncing around on speed.

>>10264771
>How's the d-pad? Hate the 353V's, false diagonal hell.
It's the same d-pad and membrane.

DESU if it weren't for the shit speakers and ugly color I'd prefer the Pocket Air over the Odin 2. Still crushes PS2 and gaycube despite chip difference, gorgeous OLED, d-pad location not ideal but at least not as retardedly far down on the device as on Odin, and a little smaller/lighter.

>>10266038
It's weird to me that the Odin 2 kept the layout of the first one instead of going for the offset layout of the Loki that everyone praised.

>>10266016
Please Saturn-sama...make it easier for us to emulate you...

>>10265470
>the display started going crazy within a month

That's what I feared.

I bought a Divoom Ditoo plus. All tech gurus hyped it and said it was premium quality.
After 10 months, it turns on for 5 seconds, shows the "no charge left" icon and turns itself off immediately.

Now, I'm on high alert for low quality chinkshit.

>>10266045
Yeah it's pretty baffling. I can kind of understand them not wanting to reuse the Loki shell because of how wide it is (and noticeable taller), but they still had a of space to work with here for the bottom controls. Shit edit, but you get the idea hopefully. Just the small amount of offset on the RP3 and X28, in tandem with not having such a massive vertical gap between top and bottom controls, makes a world of difference.

>>10266076
Yeah exactly. You don't need that much extra space to make a somewhat decent offset, the 2S is proof of that

Parents save money during the whole year to buy a nice nip/american vidya console as christmas gift for their children.
Would you guys recommed this tradition, if the console was Chinese?

Would you go all-in in chink tech? Or do you buy retro consoles from China with a "only invest what I can lose" philosophy, considering the scenario it won't even last for year?

>>10266121
>Or do you buy retro consoles from China with a "only invest what I can lose" philosophy, considering the scenario it won't even last for year?
This is what I do. Not because I expect the hardware to have more problems, but because if something goes wrong there's no safety net of support. I've had plenty of problems with corporate hardware from shitendo, microcock, etc, but the big stuff generally happens in the first year when I can get it fixed under warranty.

>>10264615
Both handhelds use the same chip, and had the same performance out of the box. The retroid devices have since gotten a significant boost through an update that puts them above the similarly spec'd anbernics.
Regarding GameCube, neither is a perfect solution. They both fall flat on games like F-Zero GX.
>inb4 the video was made before the update
It wasn't.

>>10265548
>more
Three of these devices can do everything the others can and more.
You need less.

>>10266143
>The retroid devices have since gotten a significant boost through an update that puts them above the similarly spec'd anbernics.
anon, the videos were made after gammaOS brought the same driver and performance to the Anbernic...

>>10266182
So they've got the same performance and the point stands.

>>10266182
Even with Gamma porting the same drivers, the Retroid devices perform a little better. Not enough to be worth mentioning really, but the performance advantage is technically still with Retroid. Also wulf is a turbo brainlet who whines about "muh setup" all the time, so you'd think that'd disqualify using Gamma in his mind.

>>10266187
Doesn't Gamma ship in a better state than most stock Androids?

>>10266249
Gamma OS definitely shits all over what the Anbernigs come with by default. My point was that flashing it onto the device is a lot more involved than tweaking some RA settings or pointing emulators to rom folders, trivial shit that wulf loves to whine about. Obviously anyone here should swap to Gamma OS asap.

I’m really tempted to grab Ayaneo’s Pocket Air, it seems to have a much better battery life than it’s Windows counterparts for way less. Really a shame that x86 handhelds outside of the Steam Deck have poor battery performance.

>>10266382
>outside of the Steam Deck
steam deck has shit battery life what do you mean

>>10266387
That’s not really true. Whether due to the custom Van Gogh APU or SteamOS, the Steam Deck is able to maintain a far better battery life than competing Windows handhelds for emulation. It’s also able to be far more performant with lower TDP usage in comparison.

>>10266263
russbros... we have been called out...

here is your "Premium Anbernic Build Quality™" handheld goy, that'll $190 + tip + molten screen ejection.

>>10266396
What about the screen? it is that as bad as some make it sound?

>>10266409
DROPPED

Apparently Switch 2's CPU has 8 A78 cores and GPU has 2048 CUDA cores and is based on the Ampere microarchitecture. What do we think about that, /hhg/?

>>10266420
Can it run sega saturn games tho

>>10266415
Steam Deck’s screen isn’t that awful, but I’d just consider it workman-like. I haven’t updated to the recent version of SteamOS where they finally let you adjust the colors, but the colors out-of-the-box are definitely on the weaker side compared to something like an OLED panel on the Ayaneo Air.
I still think the decision to go with an 800p panel is the right choice at its 7” screen size though. No point in going for 1080p or higher if games can barely hit that resolution, or if it’ll even make a difference on a small screen.

>>10266396
Yep by handheld PC standards this battery life is actually great. I can get 5 hours emulating PS2 at 2.5 res because of how efficient it is at lower watts. That's actually better than the battery life I got emulating PS2 on the Odin. Ofc the Odin completely fucking slaughters it in battery life for everything else, but it's a nice brag that isn't possible on any other handheld PC.

>>10266415
Compared to the screens on other handheld PCs it gets mogged really hard. It's definitely the devices least competitive aspect along with size. That said, in a vacuum, the screen actually looks nice after you crank the saturation a bit in Vibrant Deck assuming you didn't get the anti-glare screen.

>>10266427
k lets not get carried away m8

>>10266428
>>10266431

For those with handhelds that run on Android, where do you get your software from without resorting to use the Google Play store?

>>10266396
ok, i own one and battery is still shit

>>10265789
>>10266503
>>10266512
Every chinkheld should offer black as a safety option imo. Yeah it's boring, but it's not visually offensive to pretty much anyone. I also think the "panda" color Powkiddy is another good and safe option, but maybe some people find that ugly idk. The only way to save the 505's appearance is something like this, but ordering those buttons + black sticks and d-pad isn't cheap.

>>10266503
Colors are fine, they basically ripped off Switch Lite colors. It's the shape and control placement that make it look like a toy and ruin it.

>>10266517
thank you

>>10266529
How so? What’s your expected battery life? More importantly what games do you game on it, and at what TDP?

Call em ugly if you want but let's not try and act like this is a problem with "modern" handhelds. The gaudy colors are basically tradition.

welp, ordered the gameforce ACE in black.

Would you have got it in white?

>>10268274
i like the contrast of black buttons on white, but the black case hides the bezel better.
hope for you it's a good device anon. i don't have high hopes for those controls looking at the pictures.

>>10268284
The white one was the one that attracted me the most at first, I was sure I wanted that one instead of black, but I've realised that the bezel pops out way more in the white version, making it pretty awful looking.

It has hall effect joysticks so I think they will be good. As for the buttons I hope they learned to make them better after seeing how bad they were with the gameforce chi.

If they do end up being bad, hopefully I can change them in the future, that is if they use a standard size.

I'm more concerned about the cooling and battery desu.

Apparently gameforce is run by only one person named Gao Feng, he seems well respected in the community. But it's a lot of work for one person and I think it will probably have some shortcomings like the gameforce chi had. The gameforce chi wasn't so bad tho, but this new device is in another league.

What's a good wireless controller I can buy for my retroid pocket 3+? I want to have one in case I have a friend haha ;_: over so we can play together. It should handle up to dreamcast so it needs analogs.

Not looking to break the budget with like a $70 official xbox controller or anything.

>>10268814
i don't know why you're doing this to urself anon. these are cool handhelds but not for what you want to play. apparently you can get a anbernig 505 for $90 >>10265789, why not look into that

What's the best Linux handheld under $90-100? Also, I've found my old pair of A320's that might be repairable in the original boxes.

A Stadia from a thrift store for $5-10. I'm not joking.

>>10268796
How is he a shill? RK3566 handhelds can't run N64 and Dreamcast no matter how much people try to cope and pretend it does. So the cheapest option that actually does is the RP2S.

The Stadia IS just the controller. The only thing missing is a USB-C charge cable. Ig it hasn't been done already, you just go to the Stadia website with the controller connected via USB-C and unlock bluetooth mode. It's a fucking sweet bluetooth controller for $5-10. Some shit heads will try to sell it for $20-30, laugh at them.

>>10269127
What do you mean? The same was as literally any other bluetooth controller; You plug it into the PC via USB or you just hold the sync button combo. You HAVE enabled the bluetooth mode for it, right?

>>10268969
God I just fucking hate any buttons-for-a-smart-phone solution that exists because you have to fucking assemble/setup and take apart/dismantle it every single time you just want to pocket it properly or use it for anything else.

I hate jewgle but appreciate them putting d-pad on top. Also if that's the RK2023 d-pad, it's actually a very good d-pad imo.

>>10269136
Stadia was the biggest fucking joke of the decade, moreso than Kinect, but also like Kinect the hardware actually ended up being pretty good just utilized hilariously poorly. A Kinect for $10-30 can give you full body tracking in VR.

>>10269138
Honestly the only reason I use any other bluetooth controller over my $5 used Stadia controller is because my DS4's touchpad works amazingly as a mouse when playing mobile games.

>>10269167
Ayn Odin 2/Aya Neo Pocket AIR. Those are $300 though. If you want something at half the price, wait for people to get their hands on the Gameforce ACE and test how good it is since everyone is hyping up the RK3588s as being fully capable of Gamecube and PS2.

>>10268959
Buy two and just use the second one to scroll over face button inputs. It sucks but can work if you feel they work well with analog/d-pad inputs. You just won't be able to do more than one button tap/hold at a time.

>>10269192
>since everyone is hyping up the RK3588s as being fully capable of Gamecube and PS2.

I don't understand why the cunt on the Retroid account is using gay memes on the norf for correctly pointing out that Retroid transparent colors are frosted. He could've simply ignored the message or pointed out that frosted-transparent is still transparent/clear, but he had to go full twitterbrain.

>>10269192

Retroid behaves this way because they are a cornered animal, scared and lashing out. They had a taste of the top and instead of even attempting to keep it they just expected it and just fucked everyone, specifically their designs and customers, over as a result. Abandon that shitship already. Data Frog/Powkiddy is preferable.

>>10269221
Because it's a social media manager behind a screen who likely saw this as an attack on the brand, and foolishly engaged with no exit strategy planned for when they got an actual, valid response.
These people have strict rules for what they can and cannot say, especially in relation to the products. There was no way they were going into detail about why the marketing team chooses to show off misleading, eye-catchingly colorful renders while knowing full well that the matte texture of the molds and quality of the plastic would never allow for that in reality.

As for the deflecting meme shit, I all but guarantee they have a "meme quota". Corporate suits love the kinds of posts that show a surface level understanding of a given platform, meaningless "we adlibbed a popular maymay format" tier posts with zero substance, and this one is following that guideline to a T.

I realize you mean in reference to a proper monitor/TV screen, but 8" for a handheld you're gonna be holding give or take a foot away from your face is way too big if anything. I already find the 7" screen on the Deck too big for my preference. That and it's clearly too big for integrating into the PS5 controller halves they lazily slapped on instead of making a proper handheld shell.

Azn vtubing handheld reviewer goes hands on with some Ayaneo handhelds. Also shows Ayaneo's other Android prototypes, but I think I'd rather stick with a Pocket Air since the others really have the potential to be fingerprint magnets in the long run.

>>10271219
Nice to finally see close up footage of the thing. I like that they switched to a Vita style d-pad, but yeah, the glass layer on the front sucks. That in tandem with what looks like a massive ergonomic downgrade from the Pocket Air makes the the Pocket Air seem way better. Also guessing that screen isn't OLED since it's probably 6", and the 6" screen in their Air Plus isn't OLED. I can certainly live without OLED on a good handheld, but it's definitely a plus to have.

IIRC they're also planning to use this chip in a shell with built-in comfy ergos, more interested in seeing that. Hopefully that one finally has front firing speakers, because literally all of my cheap ARM handhelds now have them. The crummy downfiring speakers on the Air series is one of the things that killed it for me, despite liking a lot about it otherwise.

Not fake bro, hope its FPGA and 3D!

>>10269872
It works, the 2nd screen, hope we can find some video.

Has anyone here ever ported anything to portmaster or JELos? OpenMW will compile on arm64 but since i don't have a package manager on the device I'm not sure how I would go about compiling the game.

>>10271547
It's some sort of ryzen in there, fpga for a 3ds we would already know. Those buttons look awful too. Still cool.
Still no clamshell or otherwise pocketable handheld with 4G capability. The need to carry a smartphone is a pain but all the fun phones no longer work. Is there even any rumours of a device like that?

>>10264571
Wulf Den is not trustworthy. If he does not shill in the first place with all or almost all things he reviews then he does overrate many of such reviewed products nonetheless. I'm afraid you're going to have to do your homework if you deeply care about getting the best value for your use case. If not then your homework is small.

>>10264571
That guy is a non-technical brainlet. Literally the last person you should be taking advice from.

>>10271626
I agree, the buttons look butt! Sadly, I know not of anything in the rumor-sphere. If we ever did get a FPGA 3DS, I hope its just two screens and the ability to use Joycons, that way I can play 3DS with Game Cube buttons layout <3

Question for Retroid users. If I delete all the preloaded software on the machine and install latest versions of it directly from their websites, will they have the same performance or do they need to be configured?

if you want saturn just get a steam deck, there's really no point trying to shoehorn these shitty arm chips with "newer" consoles

You lads playing anything tonight? Fired up Red Rescue Team since I wanted something different, and I have games coming tomorrow in the mail. Game made me into a fucking Psyduck. Which sadly is pretty accurate.

>>10271308
Do you guys think the white color is less immersive when gaming on the white consoles?
Like a watching a movie in well-lit room instead of a dark cinema one?

I'm thinking on getting one.

>>10272192
Tried getting into fightan games with Capcom's Fighting Collection. Starting out simple with Hyper Street Fighter 2, it's fun to learn how to play them but I don't feel like the Steam Deck's D-pad is entirely the best for fighters.

>>10272274
Capcom are deservedly well known for their fighting games. I actually was thinking of playing Street Fighter 2 Turbo Revival before setting on Red Rescue Team. I have zero idea of what a Steam Deck d-pad looks like, is there no way to use a stick instead? Not the best option but it might be better.

>>10272274
I read a tip on here a while back with the Deck d-pad to just mash it hard in circles for like 15 minutes straight to make it fighting-game-friendly. I seriously couldn't even do QCF on it without trying REALLY fucking hard before. It's actually pretty great on fighters after doing that. Retarded a person even has to do this of course, but it is what it is and it works.

>>10263425
Does anyone else find that they do a way better job actually finishing games since getting a handheld? With retroarch on PC I spent a ton of time looking for games, and I'd play then like halfway through, but rarely for days at a stretch or to completion. Whereas, with my miyoo, I've beaten 5 games in the couple months since I've gotten it. I think it's just the automatic save states, the quick access limiting choice paralysis, and the hassle of installing new games. But whatever it is, I'm enjoying using this thing way more than my PC and it's way easier to stick games out.

>>10265548
>Scat & Toilet
disgusting

>>10272532
Because handhelds are more "pickup and play". Sometimes, you're not in the mood to be tied to your gaming chair/sofa, turn on the tv etc, the whole process is tiring. But with your handheld, just turn on the thing, play 30mins on the shitter and you're golden.

>>10272532
Can't relate, I fall in the faggot category of "tinker with the thing for 20 hours after you get it and then barely touch it." I need to actually play some games on it.

>>10272742
What is your main gaming system, Anon? I was mainly emulating on my pc but since I had my daughter, I more tend to gravitate to handheld emulating for some reason

>>10272532
Reducing RA exposure goes a long way to get you to play games, consider setting up a frontend like EmulationStation on PC.

>>10272532
>retroarch on PC
just why

>>10271838
>>10271840

>>10272236
I've never had any problem with any color handheld, and I have a few white ones. the actual lighting is more important, and you won't be able to tell the difference if you play in the dark.

>>10272532
gaming on PC just isn't as comfy as it used to be. I guess because I'm old, and also internet fatigue. I play a lot more on my handheld.

>>10272935
>isn't as comfy as it used to be
ok buddy retard. how else you gonna play dosbox games that required entire keyboard to be functional

is there a way to convert psx2psp saves into normal ps1 saves so that i can use them with other emulators?

>>10273069
i did that with persona 2 actually. after i realized it was nightmare to play without fast forward mode
i used memcardrex to convert it

>>10267625

why would I want to play trash?

>>10273091
thanks

>>10273063
I dont know if this matters since most dosbox games cant run on basic handhelds for whatever reason. Its weird that you need to emulate 50x the power or more to get it done, reminds me of ps1 working while SNES can kill your handheld. I'd love to do DosBox on handheld and Ive got the know-how to remap and hotkey, but if the game doesnt run, the game doesnt run so no need to get to keyboard shortcuts.

>>10273096
>Seething cope from a retard that cant enjoy the millions of shooters that still get released today

Didn't they fuck up the last transparent console that they made?

>>10273636
Did they make a transparent console?

>>10273638
I think that they made a transparent version of their SNES, but the casing ended up being really foggy, whereas it was crystal clear in the promo images.

>>10271838
You should install over them. If you uninstall the app you’ll lose your settings

>>10272192
Red rescue team is pretty good, if you stick with it remember that the postgame is 40% of that’s games content

>>10273723
>>Available in highly limited quantities.
Ah fuck I forgot, this is an Anal-logue product we're talking about. Why did I ever think they would do anything other than FOMO?
The Chinks really need to copy their products.

is it true screens are coming off RP2Ss?

>>10273742
I've seen one come from the factory with a corner a little raised, and others that click when you push the screen in (no idea why the fuck you'd ever do that tho). I haven't seen any where the screen has come out.

>>10273743
What there is to copy aside from the screen and/or form factor?

>>10273765
Clone the ship, that's the only good part of the piece of shit.
>muh screen
Yeah the high res is nice, but 3.5" makes it just okay and it probably adds way more to the cost than it's worth.

Linux chads... is our time over?

What’s the best handheld if I prefer to integer scale GBA games?

RGB30 seems like the best option but should I also consider something 1080p? There doesn’t seem to be anything decent that has a 1080p screen

I knew there would be a day I said it wasn't perfect. Eternally dismayed, and unsure where to go from here. Some of the games like firered/leafgreen the RTC doesn't matter, but I wanted to (re)start my pkmn journey beginning with Crystal, where it matters a lot. MM+ has a few options to get around the RTC, but they're nigger-rigged janky bullshit I don't want to have to deal with.
Will a "new" 2ds xl with CFW solve my issues for pkmn or should I go for the Ambernic RG353V/something similar? Really bummed out here, but I'll happily purchase a dedicated pkmn device rather than deal with janky silly shit. Starting to think that the n2dsxl will do everything I want for pkmn roms, so talk me into/out of it if you have experience. Any advice for pokemon and handhelds is appreciated.

>>10274317
doesn't onion os do the internet time sync automatically?

>>10274334
Yes and I'm sure it works fine, but I'm 2spooked to fuck around with some wifi clock that could interfere with a save I dump hours into. I know basics like getting onion on and having everything fully updated, but I'm too tech-superstitious and don't want to worry about some weird wifi update not working down the line after I put hours into a game. Sounds reasonable in my head, but unreasonable when typed out. Surely others can relate and surely other pokemon fans have found their dream handheld console.

>>10274373
Not really.

>>10274373
...What? How would that kill your save?

>>10274383
You underestimate how afraid I am of losing spent time, anon. Don't use logic on this.

>>10274609

BROTHERS
>>10274648
Four player, plus the turquoise looked so cool but released a day before my lime green arrived. I can afford $20 to get a second one in the colour I want. Fuck, I paid $50 each for PS4 controllers in colours I didn't want and I have maybe spent twenty minutes ever playing a local two-player PS4 title.

>>10274759
Also, turquoise doesn't have the severe light bleed issue that the lime green one has. So I can actually play this one in bed.

anyone know what his prices for favorable reviews are like?

>>10263842
based. i am thinking i might get another SF2000 just to have an extra, it seems almost too good to be true. might get 2 or 3, one in each color- have one in each room! fuck it, throw one in the glovebox of my car. one just for camping/vacations...they'll call me SF2000 boy. one thing i really appreciate is how the D Pad feels great on my sensitive thumbs. the DataFrog SF2000 is easily my favorite zontslop. i hope you too will join me in the SF2000 community. it's great value!

>>10264318
if i want something with retroid 3+ power but plug and play capability because i don't want to fuck aroudn with different emulators and settings etc (aka i am technologicaly retarted) is RG405m my best bet? how does x28 or x55 compare? i want a Retroid 2 or 3 but feel intimidated by the idea of having to tweak all the settings for it to work right, none of my other handhelds are Android

portable gaming was always fucking shit. in the early years it just had shitty ports of home console games that you're better off playing on home console (Street Fighter II, Game Boy), and in the later years it just had the same games you had on home console that you're better off playing on home console (Borderlands 2, Vita)

Can any non-shills and non-seethers who actually own one redpill me on the Analogue Pocket? Good and bad. Thinking of trying to get one of those transparent ones when they go up.

>>10274373
having an incorrect time will never botch your save anon. You're being anxious for no reason.

>>10275106
X28 is fucked in software down to the sticks, which is a shame because it's the blueprint to the perfect 16:9 chinkheld otherwise. Gamma is struggling to make heads and tails of its Android so even a CFW to fix those problems is uncertain. 405M has the infamous screens unglue and fall off. I avoided the RP3+ because of its stupid start and select placement, but I wish I got it over the X28.

>but plug and play capability because i don't want to fuck aroudn with different emulators and settings etc
That's not how Android based handhelds work. That said it's not that hard, just copy the RA settings from your loonix chinkhelds and get Daijisho.

>>10275268
Deck, prolly.

There is literally nothing to look forward to in the handheld market until someone finally bites the bullet and releases a 4:3 OLED with RG405M tier build quality at under $200.

>>10275384

Doesn't even exist.

>>10275395

that's why i dont run syncthing as daemon. just boot up manually when before and after playing. that's how i sync my saves with my home server

>>10275285
oh you sweet innocent child. if you using syncthing and your chink tv stick for example lost its power and didnt sync time and THEN you also had syncthing daemon running BEFORE you could fix your time... you in a lot of trouble

>>10275449
On that topic, a tv stick is a good alternative for emulating on the tv? I own a RP3+ but I worry of the wear and tear of the hdmi on the device so I'm thinking of buying a tv stick... Google or Xiaomi in your opinion?

>>10275465
i was surprised when i realized that this tv stick is capable of running nds and even lighter psp games like sid meier's pirates... issue is though...
it didnt have usb ports so you stuck with horrible bluetooth latency, on top of that it only has 5gbs of internal storage. it's good enough for most roms, but forget disk based systems unless i can figure out how to either mount sshfs or smb from my nas and make emulator work with it somehow. total commander can use both smb and ssh, but it's not a real mount that would work as file system, so emulator wont pick up mere network share

>>10275039
Anyone know how to convert saves? I figured out how to do GBA on either a tablet or on PC and migrate it to my pi4, but moving it to powkiddy v90, it doesnt see my saves. Whats the miyoomini savestate file for GBSPRumble (whatever its called).

>>10275493
Ah, you're the tv stick Anon, you made the switch from handheld to tv sticks, correct? I recognize your battlestation. Thanks for the infos. How dependent is it to the wifi quality? Except bluetooth latency and tiny storage, you don't have any other problems?

>>10275517
GPSP_Rumble v90, lr-gpsp on pi4, lr-mgba pi4, vr-vba-next pi4, visual boy advance pc. Anyone know a coherent chain to save and convert saves or migrate between pi4, v90, and pc? Trying to figure out how to save a different filename for GPSP_rumble on v90 since that might be similar or same emu as lr-gpsp on the pi. I did it before I just cant remember how or what platform did it right. It'd be cool to move a save from one platform to the next by just throwing in the SD card and sharing it across all the platforms on and off. I dont know if anyones tried it across 3-4 platforms yet but Im going try.

Gonna be a shitty long winter, might as well have everything set for being stuck inside.
