/vr/ - Retro Games

the best handheld is the phone you already have + a controller

Buying a controller is cheaper than any of these sketchy retro handhelds and your phone is also more powerful than any of them, allowing you to play more games, with shaders as well.

>>10586020
My phone doesnt have active cooling, and I dont want to change it in 2 years because of the constant charging cycles and overheating.

Once replaceable batteries are back? Sure, why not

>>10586020
If you have a spare android you aren't using anymore sure, but if you're actively using the phone as a phone, sounds like hell.

can't store videos cause your storage is full of tons, can't really store it portably in any secure way as most controller clips don't neatly collapse, your phone and gaming device share a single battery meaning you're gonna drain it fast, and when you do start playing, you either get texts and calls interrupting your game, or you miss texts and calls because you're in DND mode.

also a good controllers gonna run you $50, a good clip $15, and an 128gb SD card (from.a decent brand) will run you another $10, so youre spending $80 min just to get this experience.

just spend the $100 and get a 2S ffs

I hate this product i was never going to buy because it isn't exactly like the thing i already have

If it was i wouldn't buy it anyway because I already have a thing but it still should be because everything should be for me even if i don't want it and also if you like a different thing you're wrong

>your phone is also more powerful than any of them
No, it isn't.

so tired of poor people having to cope in these threads, I thought they were supposed to be happy with less :/ how are they even using their phone to post if they're emulating games on it?

>>10586020
give me a Razer Kishi alternative that doesn't cost as much as the handhelds listed and I'll use my phone

Lol, then but a real phone instead of a handheld that just runs Android anyway
>>10586257
This

>>10585930
also here is protip from me. most ps1 games can run at 222mhz clockspeed as well if you select exactly 6.0 firmware in poploader. not all games gonna work as some require 3.x for compatibility. but most will. not many people realize that and think pops needs 333mhz or else audio gets glitch. that's not true. the only thing i noticed about 222mhz though is that it seems to lack vsync so you get screen tearing

Not as much as you'd think, especially since most people are playing low spec stuff, but yes.

What is even considered clicky face buttons for handhelds? Haven't found anything like Xbox's.

>>10586445
>What is even considered clicky face buttons for handhelds?
Vita, og 3DS and GBA SP are some examples. They use those small metallic dome switches instead of rubber domes.

For ten dollars more I can get an actual Miyoo Mini Plus.
Also the Miyoo Mini V4 is back in stock for $64. No more smoked plastic yellow units though due to how fucking inconsistent they were across the few they made.
Now that they're keeping them in stock, nobody will care about them anymore though.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003611677275.html

>>10586453
Actually my bad, the Miyoo Mini Plus is $20 more than the R33S. I guess that's fair.

>>10586449
The one thing I like about the 3DS and New 3DS is that d-pad. They were improved + shaped d-pads that weren't just flat surfaces like the Wii and DSlite, and they click.
The best clicky d-pad of all time tho being the original phat DS's.

>>10586449
>3DS
I see, rubber it is for me then. Do chinkhelds even use metal domes?

>>10586420
I unironically want a controller/chinkheld with the Xbone's clicky d-pad and the Dual Shock's analog face buttons.
Also, that reminds me; What the fuck does one do for Playstation family games that utilize the analog buttons, like Metal Gear Solid 2 and GTA3? Just play the Xbox versions instead, kek? I imagine they're hard to play without proper analog face buttons.

Could any vitabros out there lend me a hand?
I finally dusted off and charged up my ancient vita(was on firmware 3.15), updated it and hacked it.
But I can't for the life of me get nonpdrm and nof00d working. I put the files in ur0:tai/ and update the config file and reboot but nothing happens. The guides mention a nonpdrm folder thats supposed to be there but its not for me. So I don't really know what to do at this point.

>>10586492
Were you supposed to update to the latest firmware...?

>>10586498
The guide I was following said 3.6 is the preferred firmware so that's what I updated to.

>>10586492
iirc you need to create the folder yourself

>>10586528
Do you? The guide doesn't mention that but maybe its out of date?

>>10586625
sorry if i upset you bro
i just think it's a terrible idea to pay 10x the price for a worse ergonomic experience when it comes to low end platforms

>>10586609
Yeah well, your phone is mining you 24/7. Linux just works.

I get the idea behind retrocheevos, spreading a game's culture in random bullshit people used to do and whatnot, but crippling the whole thing from the start with online checks and not even giving you the option to run it locally AT ALL exposes the real intent here. There's also no rush to fix it despite increased demand by handheldfags.

>>10586637
>literally a wide gamepad
>worse ergonomic experience than the flat bricks most smaller handhelds are
sure thing buddy

>>10586232
>>10586236
>>10586237
>we have miyoo mini at home
jesus christ this looks fucking cheap

>>10586645
yes, playing something that is 4 times heavier and larger is worse ergonomics when the platform you're playing doesn't get any real benefit from the extra size
>bricks
my friend the steam deck is larger in length and width than a house brick

>>10586625
Okay

>>10586676
>playing something that is 4 times heavier and larger is worse ergonomics
I guess all consoles that can be run on it should be played on an RG nano then, smaller and ligher = better ergonomics amirite?

>bricks
I was referring to the shape dummy. The Steam Deck has ergonomically shaped handles while most handheld are just flat slabs.

I would genuinely sooner recommend someone just getting a controller grip for whatever phone they currently have than ever getting a Meme Deck.
What Valve needs to do is sell more Steam Controllers.

Hyperkin is working on a modern day Sega Nomad called the Mega95. Can toggle between 4:3 to stretched 16:9, 5 inch display, and a battery that can last reportedly 10 hours. Also comes with a USB-C dock to connect to a TV.
It probably wont be anything worthwhile since any chinkheld should be able to run Genesis games fine. Plus, Hyperkin never said how the device runs Genesis games off the cart, it could just be another form of software emulation. But it looks novel at least.

>>10586587
I can usually fix whatever issue I have with a chinkheld, if I have one, by myself.
I can't fix all of the issues with the Steam Deck.

>>10586714
>shitty corner placement of d-pad and face buttons
Why are people that have never held one always trying so hard to expose themselves?
The only inputs that are kinda awkwardly positioned are the touchpads.

>>10586702
>smaller and ligher = better ergonomics amirite
as long as it doesn't impact the platform you're playing, of course it does
the deck is dogshit for low end because it's advantages are wasted on low end platforms, all you're left with are negatives because all that power doesn't mean shit if you just want to play SNES and GBA, you've paid 10x the price for no reason

>>10586726
My guy, your thumbs rest on the sticks and you would comfortably reach for the touch pads like you would sticks on a Playstation controller. Meanwhile you gotta give a thumbs up to reach the d-pad or face buttons. Holding a thumbs up is not a natural resting position for your hand.

>>10586727
>all that power doesn't mean shit if you just want to play SNES and GBA, you've paid 10x the price for no reason
This might sound crazy but you can buy a single device to play GBA and SNES as well as more modern shit. I know, it's wild.

>>10586727
>as long as it doesn't impact the platform you're playing, of course it does
nta but a handheld device needs to be a certain size and weight. There is no one-size-fits-all perfect solution, but smaller and lighter is most definitely not of course better ergonomics, let alone better anything.

>>10586738
i'm glad you have come around to agree with my first comment that the deck is dogshit for low end
i hope for more agreement in future

>>10586736
The more you post the more obvious it gets you've never had one in your hands.

>>10586738
We're getting into fire truck/pickup truck argument territory again here, which is what Steam Deck arguments always boil down to. We get it. You think it's cool to own a fire truck. But for the average person, a pickup truck is more than sufficient and having a fire truck would not only be retardedly unnecessary but also be a larger inconvenience to have than anything.

>>10586742
I don't.
Your argument is literally that it being good for high end somehow makes it bad for low end which is nonsense. It's good for both. Yes, that's possible.
>but it big
Yes, big and comfortable just like a gamepad. There's a reason we don't make them slabs like the fucking NES anymore.

I mean I've only held it once at a convention, some dude was trying to sell his at his table, and much like you he kept insisting I just wasn't playing it long enough/I was just lacking experience. He sounded like a shitty used car salesman lying about a piece of shit he's desperate to get rid of. You're not trying to sell yours (probably) so for you, it's more like social fomo where you insist everyone else does whatever you do so you don't regret doing it. Go buy your Stanley mug.

>>10586760
>social fomo
When "that guy" asks you, "You don't play Smash?" like you're the idiot before insisting he gets you into Smash Brothers.

>>10586760
>I mean I've only held it once at a convention
at least you admit to your ignorance. Now you just need to learn to stop arguing based on it.

>>10586775
I've played one and made my decision to own on based on that. The vast majority of Deck owners never held one before deciding to buy it, and then have to justify the purchase once they have it. Proven moreso by how feverishly they demand everybody else needs to get one as well. Otherwise they might feel pretty stupid if nobody else they know are interested.

>>10586780
There was a fox and grapes comic about the iPod back in the day where a fox spends $10,000 on an apple and then demands everyone else, who are eating grapes, that they need to buy a $10,000 apple as well because it's SO GOOD AND HE'S NOT AN IDIOT HE'S NOT HE'S NOT HE'S NOT

>>10586780
>The vast majority of Deck owners never held one before deciding to buy it, and then have to justify the purchase once they have it.
I don't know how it is in your shithole but here in yuroland we are allowed to by law to send anything we order back for a whole month if we don't like it no questions asked and for two years if it's broken.
I don't see how people that don't like the deck's ergonomics would have to justify their purchase when it's so easy to just refund it.

>>10586786
>People have a month to return anything if they simply do not like it in Europe

>>10586801
Providing you pay the shipping costs to send it back. You then get refunded the cost of the item and original shipping, but not for whatever shipping costs you paid to send it back. In some countries, depending how big they are, this could be $20-40 which Amazon will still get a profit from.

>>10586819

I just reacted to some retarded points like a high-end handheld somehow becoming bad for low-end emulation or ergonomics of larger handhelds being worse somehow.

I want a low powered horislop device. Is the new rg35xx h the solution? I heard the firmware was fucked (as usual coming from shitbernic).
The chadkiddy q90 is so fucking low powered and it’s insulting the fact the rg350p is still so expensive. The rg300x design is SHIT.
Should I just buy a rs97 again? Had one 5 years ago or more and gave it to my nephew.
I just want it to play up to psx (mainly 2D shit).

No, it can't run Wacky Taxi full speed. RP2S.

>>10586879
Then yeah unless you want to wait for something else to come out the 35xx h is probably the way to go. And I think there are rumblings about it getting some cfw at some point. Most likely not a lot though.

i wish we lived in a world where there was a version of the TSP with a PS2 capable chip

>>10586895
I don’t want wackytaxi to run on it, I have an rp3+ for that.

>>10586960
I guess that’s it then.
They should do new devices for psx and below again, they could make them so much cheaper now, FUCK.

I just got my RG35XX, installed GarlicOS, but whenever I exit a game and try to resume it (Recent menu > A-button) the save state fails to load. The screen just goes black for a second and I'm back at the GarlicOS main menu.

Does anyone have an idea what I could do to resolve this?

Does the rg nano have fast forward for gbc?

Thinking of grabbing one of the rg35xx. Should I go with the base for it's cfw or the plus for the chance of cfw? I'd wait but there's a sale for them on ali.

I'm playing all the 3DS titles that I missed, currently playing samus return, it's been a blast so far, I'll probably play some zelda game after I finish it

Think the 150 USD model of the RP4 would suffice for Saturn and Dreamcast games? People seem to only want to test the fancy pants Pro model. But since PS2 and GameCube emulation isn't my thing, the heavy hitters for me are just the Dreamcast and Saturn. And yes, I know the green tinted screen is a software bug that'll (hopefully) get patched out soon, since Retroid said they're aware of it.

>>10587236
lol no

Uhh, RP4 sisters?

>>10587256
Do you mute whenever one of these videos says the green tint is a software bug that'll get patched out? I don't understand all the anger, the consoles aren't even out yet for consumers, just shills/reviewers.

Dreamcast yes. Saturn, mostly yes but some of the harder stuff will still struggle.

It seems my custom ROMs directory was causing the issue here. I usually have my ROMs and savefiles in a specific folder structure which I try to maintain across all my emulation devices, but GarlicOS doesn't seem to like custom paths.
Resetting both the ROMs and save directory to the default paths, and placing all files in the default directories has resolved the issue.

>>10586684
Damn dude get off the bed and lose some weight.

>>10587390
this is an emulator solution right? they are gonna make that thing at least reasonably easy to hack, right?

cuz besides the numpad, any handheld that includes an analog spinner and trackball could be a pretty nice system.

if miyoo doesn't announces the flip this week i'll buy a rg35xx+

It's pretty obvious the people who talk bad about the deck are either
A. Poorfags, this is why they get excited for garbage like the miyoo mini. They finally can afford to buy something """"new""""
B. Limp wrists who've never lifted anything heavier than a nintendo controller and never lift their arms past their mouths

This is the typical line of shithelds you see at Walmart and on Amazon for $20 that are a bunch of terrible java-based "edutainment" titles along with a bunch of random NES romhacks made to be 16-bit. They're all the fucking same no matter how many variations they make of it. It's like the Western version of the Gameboy Famiclone. Their officially branded Namco, Capcom, and Taito ones are total shit as well.

Though I do find the novelty of Waddle Doos in Bubble Bobble and Goemon in some surfing game to be amusing enough to warrant the $4 I paid for one at ValueVillage.

>>10587537
Oh yeah, I forgot C. Contrarians.

I wish Steam Deck enjoys would spend more time actually using the their Deck instead of insisting on evangelism.

>>10587540

That's the best you could come with? really? not even trying to deny it?

Got my RG35XX today and after a couple of hours of trouble setting up the cfw and getting the Retroarch settings fine-tuned, I'm now in love with this thing.
Game Boy and GBC games look great on this, but sadly GBA doesn't scale pixel-perfectly, but with bilinear filtering disabled it doesn't look THAT bad. Preferable to the tiny 1:1 scaling at least.

I started Dragon Quest 3 on this, and the GBC version seems great. It even has animated enemy sprites for attacks!

>>10587965
Friendly tip, in retroarch's video settings you can set the filter to "Normal4x" and the scaling looks a LOT cleaner

Pic related, screenshot from my Retroid 2S (same screen resolution)

>>10587540
i know this is MyArcade and all. but still i want to believe because one handheld with a spinner and a trackball could be incredible for arcade emulation.

>>10587932
if the black levels arent as good its not as good as a oled. enjoy your cope device while the buttons still work.

I love when the people on this thread get elitist about having the highest quality screens when they're just gonna play shit like this

>>10585989 (in reply to >>10583530 )

Obviously, shit displays are shit displays. But you can't act like these games look distractingly bad just because you aren't playing on a fucking OLED panel

Pardon me, but it's a little generic looking.
Aren't there plenty of horizontals like this?
Also, I already sent a 'track pads on the back' design to Valve. Hopefully they will make a more pocketable design. But without compromising screen size like a bendy clamshell.

>>10588062
if it supports the sega cd everdrive games i would be lowkey ok with it

have some decent shaders

My favorite aspect of gaming is how every time a new technology comes out, suddenly some people claim the previous technology was always unplayably bad, even though we'd happily used it for years prior. It's what they said about 720p, it's what they said about 30fps, and now it's what they say about OLED.

I can't wait for seven years from now when the new hotness comes out, and you suddenly can't stand the thought of playing on a screen that you'd called "so good it's a necessity" only a few years prior.

How long until iPhone 10 screens become cheap enough for chinkheld recycling? It's clear that OLED is the next evolution in the chinkheld market (it's not like we're getting playable Xbox/PS3 anytime soon), but other than the Vita, I can't imagine any other sources for cheap OLED screens.

>>10588195
When apple doesn't need them anymore. I'm only assuming this since vita screens weren't used for anything else until after the vita was discontinued.

>>10587890
Yeah the plugins are the latest. I seem to have a problem with any plugins working at all though. I installed noled through autoplugin and its not working either so I have no idea what to do here.
>>10587889
GBA works pretty well if you use the right core.

>>10586849

>I want a low powered horislop device. Is the new rg35xx h the solution?

I dunno. I'll tell you in 10 days or so. I ordered one just because I wanted to see if the 35xx+ is really better than or even close to the MM+ but can't be arsed t get another vertical.

I felt a tinge of mild regret not opting for the x55 or the Trimui Smart Pro for just a few more dollars, there's supposed to be a sizeable gap in performance. But, my next and final handheld purchase after this is going to be steam deck tier. So it doesn't bother me that much.

>>10588187
well, i agree with your sentiment but 30fps can be accurately described as less than ideal for playing many games. 720 simply isn't necessary. Still, I don't go over 1080 if I can avoid it. I will never own an OLED display because it is an actual tech industry meme. The OLED push reminds me of dolby 5.1 hype, or motion controls. can't predict when or if OLED will actually replace LCD displays, I don't know enough about the technology; just enough to know it isn't for me.

Provided it has some wonky low end forked Android OS like many of their recent products, it's possible it could receive a hack/jailbreak to play actual roms. Even then it's only worth it if it's cheaper than the actual RG Arc

It's called a new standard. People like you and most people on this board like to put their heads in the sand when new tech arrives because they're too autistic to adapt without huffing and puffing about it for a decade but yes, once you've been exposed to a better standard it is hard to go back, especially when you're not even talking about high end lcds on these handhelds, they're mostly low quality shit, no matter what time we're in.
Or maybe you're like this loser >>10588359 still turning on a black and white set just to cling onto a worse time with a worse standard but hey, at least it isnt that dang new tv the kids won't stop talking about!

>>10588721
>People actually believe this?
Android, like your television set, has four or five different light settings that change the colours of your display. I don't know if your iPhone has it or not.

>>10588747
This has been a common thing on most displays for twenty years, if not more. Even some GBA titles have it as an in-game option.

>>10588747
it do
but its buried under faggy settings submenus
only autismo fags fiddle with that on a per game basis
its more of a "warm/cold" than a tint modifier though
its meant to fuck your eyes up less in the dark
i like putting on nightmode on android and letting everything be greyscale
if eink was quick enough i would use an eink android display and spend my team reading instead of doomscrolling
more of a /g/ post at this point but maybe someday we will have some type of phone/controller setup for nice b&w jrpg goodness
or maybe just MAYBE color e-ink android devices with even slightly above toaster specs in 2024

>>10588765
>only autismo fags fiddle with that on a per game basis
Nobody has ever suggested at any point that the fucking warmth settings on your display needs to be a "per game basis", you illiterate fucking retard. It's one setting for the display, like on your television. You go to menu, display, and change it there. It's done forever for everything.

>>10588721
I read this and immediately thought of the DMG Game Boy. Idk about modern displays

I love Tetris and Dr. Mario. I could play these forever.
Any puzzle games you guys like? I'm looking for games that I can just pick up and play for 5 minutes and stop at any time, and it doesn't matter.

>>10588629
are u retarded? kek
b&w sets have higher clarity than color
esp for vidya designed to be played in such a way

>>10588721
if you know even the slightest thing about screens you know that yes, incompetence at the factory can result in retarded default color balance that is trivial to fix
it reflects poorly on retroid that they thought it was a good idea to ship review units straight from factory to reviewers though

>>10588773
>youre underage!
>just got a b&w set as a new toy a few years ago and is still enthusiastic about it in 2024
No, you're a child larping and you're easily amused. Your parents likely waved keys in your face to entertain you when you were younger. Have fun playing your colorless primitive shit but damn i sure am jealous of how clear those sprites look!

>>10588787
ok dude
i also specifically bought a color kill-switch modded apple monitor for atari & other vintage computer shit
i grew up with monochrome monitors at school
my dear old grams kept her b&w set until it finally blew up in the late 90s
i played nes on it for years
the tv isnt a "toy"
none of them are, as i need crt to play without shitty lag or uglyness on screen
the rf/composite blur might be subjective
the input delay is not

try using a paddle on a flatpanel even on "muh gayme mode!!!1!!"
it will feel like shit

i have a 1ms 240hz alienware monitor but rarely use it for gen 2 (or gen1) outside of specific capture card instances where i need footage

i recommend everyone get a battery operated tv of some kind

>>10588187
>>10589325
This.
I grew up with a ridiculously small CRT as my 1st TV, then I got a 24' one that looked a lot better, I also loved the 29' one in the living room, a while later we got some plasma TVs and then LED ones a few years later. I love LED, but I can watch stuff on our older plasma TV just fine, I also use more budget smartphones that don't use LED screens at all, and it's fine. It's all still useable... just fine.

Tfw have 3 but only one is acceptable enough to play on.

New year, new week, new day, new Ayaneo handheld.
Only thing that really stands out though is that the Next Lite has been reported to come with SteamOS by default, so at least it beats navigating with Windows on a handheld. Who knows if it'll help the battery life much though, and since it's supposed to be "budget friendly" who knows if the specs would really be worth it over buying a used Steam Deck LCD. For all we know it'll probably just use Mendocino chips or old Vega APUs, none of which would really make it worth it in that case unless you really crave that form factor.

I'm not a toddler, I take care of things I buy. I don't throw my stuff across the room when I'm angry because I have impulse control. If something breaks and it isn't my fault, I contact the company and get a replacement. For free. If they refuse I charge back the purchase, legally. Sorry it's different than how you grew up, but it's just how things work now. You can get mad and cry over it, or you can accept change and move on.

It'll be twice the cost of the steam deck without the support, build quality or reliability.

>>10589667
This is one of my problems with chink shit. If you need grips and cases to make your device comfortable its a cope device and a waste of money.

>>10589803
Damn, 3DSbros, our response??

>>10589803
The fact little babby grips in the back like on RG ARC, LG Wing Handheld, A1 Unicorn etc aren't the standard is weird to me. It's such a small change that makes such a big difference and doesn't affect silhouette or size generally speaking. They are seriously perfect for anchoring your middle finger.

>>10589815
my response? not being extremely fat and needing "grips" in the first place.

>>10589837
The 3DS sucked to hold, and this was a known fact for games like Monster Hunter where tons of third party accessory manufacturers churned out tons of grips for it.
Hell even Nintendo on some level seemed aware of it, they released a stand for Kid Icarus Uprising and the Circle Pad Pro only a year after the console came out.

>>10589837
The 3DS sucked fucking ass to hold, Smash Bros. was not comfortable at all without a grip.

>>10589878
>>10589879
Thanks brothers I know nintendo has been trying to crackdown in recent years and I guess I will just copy whatever comes on the default card since I don't fully trust their cards.

>>10589871
you can just google shit still, ROM sites aren't hard to find and aren't going to magically vanish if you do find them

most of these devices if they come with an SD card also have a chinky gallery of ROMs already loaded too

>>10589667
I usually meme hard on Etsy shit but this is genuinely nice, almost looks like it's made out of a nylon material and I had to watch the video to confirm it was a solid piece of plastic. I just question if the sudden cliff-dip handle grips on the back are actually comfortable to hold when playing.

>>10589897
The handles do what they need to, gives you something to hold onto while the system is in your hands. It's comfortable in a different way than the official grip is if that makes any sense, feels kinda like holding a 3DS with a grip

Order a proper Sandisc, etc quality micro SD card (or two, one for OS and one for games), and download some bullshit like tinybestset off of archive.org.
Or just download redump romsets from same. Your rg35xx H will come with all the standards on it, but the sd card(s) are pretty low quality.
And, like poster above said, cdromance stays on top of the scene pretty much with the fan translations, hacks, and strange weird shit. Can highly recommend.

>>10589837
The d-pad is unusable without a grip.

I'd get it for $60 as a side chinkheld. If you're considering a RP4 might as well do it, this is just a RK3566 after all.

>>10589906
What the fuck, no, get it from Ali.

Was anyone here able to apply the screen protector to their RG35XX successfully?
I usually have zero problems getting them perfectly and without trapped dust, but for some reason this thing doesn't seem to want to settle on the outer edges at all.

Did I mess something up, get a bad protector, or is this an issue with the displays themselves (like curvature or coating)?

This looks like shit lmao

>>10589980
Okay, this seems to be an issue with the display, as I thought.

Man I wish these devices would just come with flat, slightly recessed plastic screens and an included or factory applied glass screen protector.
Handhelds should be rugged so you don't need a case for them.
Also what happened to iPod socks? Anyone remember those? These protective socks you'd slip on your iPods or Nintendo DS to protect them without needing a case with a zipper that takes forever to open?

Bring those back please. Can't even find them on Aliexpress anymore

Please don't use the included ROMs. Try and get proper "nointro" romsets from people who actually care.

>>10589980
Does it really need a screen protector? I never use one on my phone, but I can imagine cheapo chink glass being soft as butter.

>>10590016
Anbernic made the only good looking emulation handheld that exists (the RG35XX).
Everything else I've seen has super weird Fisher Price looking devices with colorful buttons and odd design choices.

Though even Anbernic went back to the shit looking rainbow ABXY with the RG35XX Plus, so maybe you're right.

>>10590026
I like putting screen protectors on all my devices besides my phone, just so I don't have to baby them all the time and can just toss em in a bag or pocket without worrying about it anything could scratch it.

Even though the RG35XX is only 45€, I wouldn't want to play with scratches on it, so a screen protector would be nice

>>10590016
Anbernic's too big to die even with their dumb decisions lately, but miyoo's pretty much only alive with the mini line. I don't see them staying alive if the flip doesn't sell well.

Whatever "cost effectiveness" means for Aya isn't clear. They promised that with the Mendocino and Intel i3-1215U models for the Ayaneo Air Plus, and that didn't really pan out. I'm just expecting $400-$500 as their take on "cost effectiveness" to save myself any potential disappointment.

It's amusing how miyoo stays alive with only one (4) device on sale.

>>10589980
the rg405v screen is sucken in just enough to make the screen protector practically impossible to remove
i happened to get a huge bubble stuck under it so i had to pick at it for 10 minutes

>>10590194
sunken*

I want something small.
Aren't the new miyoos shit?
Does anyone think the r33s is going to be better? The rg35xxs might be a little too big.

>>10590251
>Aren't the new miyoos shit?
only the miyoo mini stock line specifically, miyoo mini plus line is fine and R33S is a clone of the MM+

>>10589980
Please post if you find a better screen protector. I'm not having much luck and ordered a 35xx+ a few days ago.
>>10590251
Miyoo Mini Plus? It fits in the palm of my hand plus a bit. I can't imagine going smaller and still be able to play games. I have a Game Boy Micro and it is a cute novelty but pretty tiny to actually play a game with text on. All of these greymarket emu devices are pretty cheaply made, so temper your expectations.

>>10589871
I know "reddit bad" is the popular take here, but the archive they have from their r/roms section is unironically probably the best available one. No ads, no "please wait ten seconds before you can download", etc. Just a link to archive.org pages

https://r-roms.github.io/

>>10589803
I use grips on every official jap device. It's just better.one that protects your screen is better than a soft shell case.

It does run burnout 3 but it looks bad and tiny imo

>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-4byGD7TCgk

>>10590539
If you buy it in the first place, then you're willingly sacrificing screen size for pocketability. That's why I don't get this complaint, the RP4 has a clear place in the market.

>>10589980
not as drastic but the miyoo mini and plus have rounded edges that cause this too

similar to curved edge screens, there's shit called "white edge filler" that you can get cheap on aliexpress or ebay that's a bonding oil you can fill into the lifted portions and the screen protector will fit flush

picrel is my mini plus after i got some and filled the edges, worked perfect

>>10588062
Why not make the Megaboy instead? Seems an obvious concept.

>>10590581
similar to curved edge screens on phones**

picrel pulled from plebbit of the same problem

>>10590581
Why does your Miyoo Mini look so good? Are the buttons,.shell and d-pad stock, or did you replace any of those?
All the Miyoo Mini colorways on Aliexpress look atrocious, which is why I went with the old RG35XX

>>10590581
>>10590737
Oh also you rock for sharing that white edge filler tip. I was gonna remove the screen protector, but decided to leave it on until I see it in daylight tomorrow and maybe still find a fix.
Didn't expect a miracle solution like this to exist.
The most painful part is gonna be living with this ugly screen protector until the Aliexpress delivery gets here haha
Thanks!

>>10590737
i replaced the ABXY buttons for third-party black ones to be concave/convex a la north american snes controller, considering erasing all the keys under the buttons to go full stealth too but maybe i'll just wait to do so for when the keys start smudging off on their own from use
>>10590768
gl anon, i did the same thing and thugged it out until my order came in from china too but as you can see from my pic, it was fully worth the wait upon applying the fix

my order came with like 20 packets of the edge filler too and it's definitely come in handy just hitting little corners of shit like the tempered glass protectors on my laptop and phone, i'm really anal about clean applications so this stuff was kinda godsent

friendly tip: i dunno if you'll get the kind that comes with a very narrow-tip brush or the applicator tip on the filler liquid, but if you get the brush kind, just cut the top of the liquid pouch and dip the tip in the solution and trace around your protector; don't go overboard and squeeze it in directly onto your device as it'll leak under the screen potentially damaging it or just get into your chinkheld

i had to tear mine apart fully to clean but did the edge filler fix on two mini pluses so knew what to do the second time around

>>10590814
Oh damn, thanks for the heads up!
I bought two different kinds, but dipping a brush into the liquid and applying it carefully sounds like a good call here.
I've swapped so many Vita screens obsessing over getting the perfect one, I'm happy to avoid having to open this thing.

>>10590870
a little sincerely goes a long way here in terms of the fluid which is really like an oil in consistency, i just dragged it along the edges after dipping and watched it fill the lifted portions satisfyingly

after that just used a microfiber and pressed to secure/squeeze any potential excess and voila

>>10590058
>Aya neo
>Cost effective

>>10589427
>users on here are saving their money to buy leftover SHIT lcds pasted on leftover SHIT phones with crappy chinese made controls

I read that in my head like the Charlie's grandma from smiling friends

>>10590987
Well you also have to remember, "cost efficient" by Ayaneo standards. I think people are speculating that they may be resorting to Ryzen 4000 APUs, which is still VEGA graphics and not much of a downgrade from the 5000 series, but again still not within Steam Deck territory at all.

Personally, I'm saving my money for a deck oled.

Any good vertislops with decent buttons under $50 (including shipping/taxes/etc)? Doesn't have to be too powerful, mainly just want something strong enough to do all the 2D consoles

>>10591053
After watching Russ RP4pro video, I'm convinced it's the only sensible option. These ecelebs lamers are shilling hard on the Odin2... Why spending almost as much as a SD OLED for chinese quality? It's nonsensical

>>10591107
>chinese quality
the steam deck is manufactured in china retard
>These ecelebs lamers are shilling hard
maybe learn how to speak english too

>>10591146
So you're telling me Valve quality control is the same as fucking retroid? Stupid nigger, enjoy your plastic toys and your squeaky buttons

>>10591068
The R36S is your only option but I’m not sure how expensive is it nowadays.

>>10591146
I trust my credit card company to give me a refund if I lose the OLED lottery on a deck and Gabe tries to buttfuck me, not so much on something you need to buy off aliexpress.

>>10591153
funny you say that, the steam deck actually has squeakier and cheaper feeling face buttons compared to the odin 2. I know because I own both :) both have their strengths and weakenesses but I prefer the odin 2 most of the time

>>10591167
Time stamp?

>>10591161
if anything chargebacks would be easier with chinese companies because they have less resources to contest the chargeback compared to a huge company like valve

>>10591153
>le retroid... has better quality control than... le valve???!!1
Yep.

>>10591161
What? Fucking why? Valve can contest the charge back, chinkheld sellers can't. You sound like a child who got his first credit card yesterday.

>>10591172
That's not how it works. If valve says "lolno" then I call my credit card and tell them valve is trying to rip me off and then my credit card company or bank eats the cost or valve settles up down the way later. For a chinese company, they can say "lolno" and I complain to my bank and they can just say "caveat emptor" because I'm doing business with chinks.

>>10591176
>t. never had to do a chargeback except for product not received on ebay

>>10591182
Okay zoomer.

>>10591167
I own a RP3+ and the thing feels like it will break in two if I play it too rough

>>10591168
the switch lite face buttons are the best out of all of these desu, chinese companies should just copy those

>>10591190
That's what everyone would get if the hardware wasn't ass. Nice fucking gash, though.

>>10591190
I'm not a fan of the click on 3DS and Switch buttons, the og phat NDS is best. Sadly no handheld has come close fucking since in twenty years. Not even Nintendo themselves.

>>10591167
>>10591190
I didn't even realize that was a New 3DS, I thought it was the red DSlite until I had to figure out why the bottom was green.

2 and i send the email to cancel my rp4p order and refund the money towards a steam deck oled
3 and i get a sex change instead

retroid review videos really got me disillusioned

>>10591192
>nice fucking gash
I've hung out with too many euros and laughed at this kek. luckily its just on the screen protector
>>10591193
I agree, the clicky switch buttons suck, but specifically the switch lite on the bottom right in the pic has really nice rubber membrane face buttons. theyre a tiny bit too close together but they feel amazing

looking to get a miyoo mini plus on ali from either ampown or miyoo official store. which one should i go with? iirc ampown is currently selling it for $20 less. are they reliable? do they sell in open box if you chose to with the no sd card option?

>>10591207
Honestly whatever costs less. They should all take 2-3 weeks to arrive.

>>10591207
All Miyoo Mini and Miyoo Mini Plus come inside of a Miyoo case, they don't make boxes.

>>10591197
rp4 pro seems like a good idea, the green screen is confirmed fixed and it runs a lot of fun games while still being way more portable than a deck/odin 2/handheld pc. the only issue ive seen thats actually bad is the loud ass fan, but fans always sound super loud in reviews compared to real life so it might not even be that bad

>>10591235
retard

>>10591235
>>10591286
They ship the Plus in the case if you buy one with the case. No need for personal insults because you were personally confused.

>>10591289
>>All Miyoo Mini and Miyoo Mini Plus come inside of a Miyoo case
>>they don't make boxes
giga retard

>>10591293
conGratulations on Winning the internet argument

Given that everyone wants the rp4 as a ps2 machine, it should have had the d-pad and stick inverted
Change my mind

It's over

>>10591383
why on earth would anyone want the dpad in the wrong place

>>10591383
Stick should always be on bottom, your thumb is flexible enough to control it without exactly being on the tip, with the dpad is a different story though.

>>10591383
hiveminders always say the dpad should be up top, but it actually is pretty uncomfortable to play small devices like this while using both analog sticks if theyre both on the bottom. especially if you need to use triggers at the same time.

>>10589903
ive had it for nearly a decade
sorry i havent gotten famous yet

>>10591457
this nibba shows up to band practice with gameboys

>>10591383
But... the PS2 has the DS2 controller with the d-pad above the analog stick? What are you even talking about?

>>10591440
t. Xbot

>>10591476
sorry grandpa, we're talking about ps2, dreamcast, and gamecube, two of which had the left analog stick, you guessed it, on the top.

how'd i do?
12" android tab for everything these devices cannot run
im low-key ok with not having EVERY system on mobile though

>>10591486
Which were wrong.
I can never stop meme'ing on how awful the GameCube controller was in every single way. The spongy teensy d-pad, the "c-stick" and analog stick trapped in octogon casings to force eight directions with fucking analog controls, the Fisher Price face buttons, the springy shoulder buttons, the asymmetrical stiff Z button, everything about it is such comical, laughable ass.

>>10591474
Yeah, but that one is actually ergonomical. In a small device that rest on your pinkie you force your thumb to overstrech and your hand to bend.
I usually dont mind, but I never had a ps2 and I was planning to play all the good titles in this while I conmute. Using it like that for tens of hours doesnt seem feasible.

>>10591457
SOVL

The function key (middle one next to select and start) on the R36S has been correctly implemented:
https://github.com/AeolusUX/R36S-DTB

You have to edit the config file, as well as change the hotkey mapping from within Retroarch and Retroarch32 both.

But holy shit, it's functional! It actually does work now, happy days everyone.

>>10591490
You'll also need to invest in a bt controller...and look like a retard playing it

>>10586017

Just got GB300 in the mail and did my usual test. Super Punch Out.

It's not good boys. It has the same slowdown as the sf2000 but the trick of starting and then quitting out doesn't fix it.

The L and R buttons are a lot more sturdy than they look though.

>>10591781

Even GB performance is blurry and stuttery trash. Unless someone decides (against all odds) to fix this firmware, this thing is a flop.

>>10591812

I normally don't complain about screen tearing but the tearing on the nes roms hurts my eyes,

>>10591823

GBA Roms are playable and not terrible... weirdly.

Looks like that SteamOS announcement for the Ayaneo Next Lite was too good to be true. Turns out the CEO said they meant "Third PARTY SteamOS, not official SteamOS".
In other words, probably just ChimeraOS.

>>10591925
Figures. Wonder if the ChimeraOS people were contacted about it.

>>10591781
How is the d-pad, it was literally the only thing about the entire device that looked any decent.

>>10591986
>How is the d-pad

A bit loose in the case, passes the contra test, but is not hadoukenable.

>>10591781
> It has the same slowdown as the sf2000 but the trick of starting and then quitting out doesn't fix it.
Surprising since it's a clone of the SF-2000's internals. Have you tried putting the SF-2000's CFW on it?

>>10591180
That doesn't make any sense. Banks do not have any nationalistic tendicies whatsoever

>>10592083
Not true; They're loyal to each nation's individual laws. Did you know you can scam Japan for hundreds of thousands of dollars and they can't do shit all about it if you're in North America? Not that I would ever recommend scamming the Japanese, as that violates ethics, but you legally could and there's nothing Japan can do about it except try to avoid dealing with you specifically in the future.

>>10592087
Okay, maybe hundreds of thousands is an exaggeration, but you can definitely get away with like fifty grand worth of scamming out of them.

>>10590539
>it runs Burnout 3
Aaaaaaand ordered

I'm conceptualizing ways to improve the Steam Deck Mini that either doesn't just literally just shrink the device down to be a literal smaller version of the original (which would be awful and require Valve to completely redesign new sticks which would likely just replicate the Vita's) or isn't a modified version of something else with Steam Deck aesthetics. I just don't think a SteamOS/Windows based handheld is feasible unless in a clamshell/"netbook" form.
Meanwhile, I unironically want an RG35XX-H that's a little smaller.

It just seems like basing a smaller Steam Deck off of the Switch lite makes the most sense; >>10587779

>>10592052

>Have you tried putting the SF-2000's CFW on it?

Thought about it. Might try this weekend. The menu music is the same as the sf2000 and some of the icons but the layout is different.

>>10592198
I genuinely only praise the SF-2000 so much because it is so inexpensive but has such a high quality, ergonomically designed shape and build despite its software. The GB300 truly seems to be taking away the one thing that makes the SF-2000 nice, its shape and plastic quality.

>>10592004
Does it feel like a cheaper Xbone d-pad?

>>10591591
This is really nice, suprised it happened.

How do I make GBA games with the stretched pixels not look like actual ass on the RG35XX?
Some anon in here said that he made GBA games look good with the right overlay/filter, but I'm struggling to find a full-screen LCD grid that doesn't turn the entire image super dark, or has a border graphic that covers half the screen for integer scaling.

Anyone have a recommended overlay pack that includes some LCD and CRT grids?

>>10592238

Yeah the form factor is a huge selling point for the sf2000. The buttons on the GB300 are smaller, and mushy, too. It's a few notches above a chinabrick for about twice the price, so it's not *that* terrible. It's just not as good as the SF2K.

>>10592283

A bit, yeah. More mushy and springy though.

>>10591161

NTA, I live in Canada and all my aliexpress CC payments are processed through Alipay Canada which shows up on my statements as Alipay Canada and is registered with an address in Canada. I imagine the US has a similar arrangement.

>It's just like dealing with eBay

Yeah.

which of these is the comfiest to use for extended periods of time

>>10592348
Just use the bandlimit pixel shader with the smoothness to 0 or 0.1. That's what I use on my r36s

>>10592450
Is that a proper shader, or an overlay or filter?
Because the shader menu option seems to be disabled on GarlicOS. Probably not powerful enough, I've seen this before on Retroarch on the 3DS I believe.

>>10591146
You're a fucking retard if you think the place of manufacturing is what people mean by chinese quality. QUALITY moron, as in, the quality of the whole process is shit because it's not done by people with high standards and the workers are not being paid enough/work under people who give enough of a fuck.

>>10591490
What are you actually playing though?

>>10592446
Something horizontal really. And unfortunately, something like the Odin (not pocketable and not cheap) seems to be about the peak of handheld comfort.
I'll stick with the sub $100 hand cramping but cute sector.

>>10592348
I use a combination of these for any 640x480 screen I want to play gba on

1- 3:2 non-integer scaling
2- pixellate shader or sharp billinear 2x prescale, both found in the interpolation folder in the retroarch shaders
3- the overlay in picrel, but you have to make a .cfg file for it in the same location with the same filename as the image otherwise retroarch won't load it, and the .cfg file must contain the following:

overlays = 1

overlay0_overlay = SameFilenameAsImage.png

overlay0_full_screen = true

overlay0_descs = 0

>>10592446
MM+ if you have hands large enough to one hand it

>>10592586
side note, if the overlay looks fucked up when you add it, make sure Auto-Scale Overlay is set to Off

>>10592586
>>10592594
and here's an example of how it should look when you're done

>>10592389
ebay is hard to fuck with when it comes to chargebacks because their process is shit. If valve fucks me over, I can just call my bank and they take care of it. I bought something off ebay and tried to charge it back for non-delivery like I did something I bought from Nordstrom's (a jacket) that didn't show it and they told me I had to go through their "process" that took three weeks. When my jacket didn't show up and Nordstrom said it did arrive, it took me 15 minutes.

God, I wish I could spend 50 more bucks for a rg35xx/mm handheld with a screen as nice as the analogues.

>>10592467
if you don't have the ability to use shaders, a lot of lower end devices will have some filters in retroarch>main settings>video

Can the rg35xx+ handle neogeo arcade games?

>>10592675
lowkey we may see such devices soon enough, all these VR headsets with square or 10:9 ratios, mini displays on the outside of foldable phones with similar specs, all will end up in a shenzhen tech dump

For phone bros, asus is making a backbone/kishi 1 style controller. (It can fold in half, keeping it safe)
For tablet bros, the rebranded hello gamesir x2s fits tablets and the bsp-d9 was made for tablets in mind. The d9 also has hall sticks and the only telescopic controller where the sticks are diagonal (I think)

>>10592238
The sf2000 being the only Snes controller shaped chinkheld with big face buttons will never not make me laugh

>>10592675
Their screens are already nice, you dont need the anal log density

>>10592784
Perhaps it can out of the box, and maybe more of them with Garlic OS or somethingI know that it can handle PS1 and Dreamcast at a 5-6/10 at best. Definitely not most later stuff which uses analog sticks. IDK about 3DO, and Saturn, though.

>>10592784
It should, it's around RK3566 level.
