So, with aftermarket GBC buttons is it impossible to get a d-pad exactly like OEM? I found out that they make the little nub in the center shorter than the OEM ones due to tolerances so I grabbed a riser that is supposed to address that issue. It did fix a lot of the false diagonals and multiple directions I could press to a degree but up-right still requires a fair amount of force. Is there any way to fix this short of grabbing OEM buttons even with a riser on aftermarket ones? Because I grabbed a bunch from AliExpress and they all have this issue. To my understanding ExtremeRate apparently has the best quality ones but that's like $10 for a set of buttons and they have a limited color selection.

MM+ v 35XX+ is just software vs hardware, the 35XX+ is objectively stronger but the MM+ has the best software experience of any chinkheld.

speaking from my experience, the original rg35xx was my first emulator handheld and i really, really love it for what it is. when i saw they made a horizontal version of it with analog sticks, i was about 1 second away from ordering it until i read about the terrible analog sticks. if it weren't for the issue with the sticks, that would have been an instant purchase. i'm not some kind of handheld autist who cares enough to keep up with every new chinkheld company and release so i would have preferred to stick with the company i knew (had i not learned about that issue)

Is this the right thread to bitch about Harmony of Dissonance? Has anyone ever enjoyed this game? It takes everything good about Castlevania and makes it aggravating as shit. Its got the metroidvania thing going on but its like two castles in one. As one both castles are nearly identical except for some minor differences in some rooms that you need to spot out and remember that they're something off about them, find the relevant item you need elsewhere in the castle, and then enter from the right path. Its just a bunch of zigzagging bullshit and none of the rooms are interesting or memorable. I'd forgive the game a little bit if traversal wasn't such a total pain in the ass.

You want a real answer? Sure.
They do GBA/WS/WSC well and at a right size (verging on 5") they mog 4:3 screens since the largest available is 4" and the common is 3.5". On higher end devices you have PS2, GC & DC widescreen stuff too.
Had the world not shunned 4:3 in favour of 16:9 slop, had more mobile devices been made, GPS etc with 4:3 there'd be a greater range available but there's not. These chinkhelds don't use custom screens, they are not asking LG to make them a batch of 4.2" 4:3 displays like Nintendo did for the DSi XL.
You live in the world you fucking deserve and as you look at the posts asking about why don't you use your phone feel free to browse GSMarena and take off the time machine from 2008 and realise that even phones are going wider in AR than 16:9.

Feel free to seethe at 16:9 all you want but you should be looking at the numbers first.

Also if you view 16:9 > 4:3 on the basis of computer monitors, consider that the average size for a monitor is 27/28" 16:9 nowadays which equates to 22.06" & 22.8" about the range of a good 4:3 CRT TV mid range TV. The issue with monitors is that they have real wasted space compared to handhelds because they take up real world space while it's mitigated somewhat with a handheld.

Yes. I simp for 4:3 hard.

I'm gonna share some autism in the form of an excel sheet, I used this to figure out if I should buy an entry level chinkheld like the R36S and looked at other devices before going in. I was using a 3DS xl at the time and have a few first party handhelds (on the sheet).
Your average handheld buyer isn't going to do this but this was my sheet for the R36S vs 3DS. It could be filled it more and I could add stuff like the RGB30 or TSP in full.
I used this in combination with cutting out squares of paper with games in the resulting size to make my decision. Looking back on it, I should went with screen dimensions too. 1:1 and 16:9 have their strengths, I wish there were more large 4:3 screens but sadly there ain't. The largest 4:3 screen I've seen IRL recently was my smart monitor for my energy at 4.5" and it's very old tech.

The type of redditors who watch youtube/RGC etc aren't doing this so I get why people look at 16:9 handhelds and ask why they're so low powered.

These anons got it right. It's ideal for people who want a nice device to play classic games but we live in an age or rampant corporatism/capitalism where it's more profitable to offer subscription services.
Also I will add Nintendo devices are cursed, because their handhelds all use different screen heights that don't conform well to scaling in modern resolutions on one device. You can even see this with the DS > 3DS where games don't scale cleanly.

They're luxury items, they're not committed to sell many of them. Mario and Zelda were an exception because Nintendo celebrated their anniversary.
And CFW and hacks exist since the NES mini, Nintendo doesn't give a fuck.
I guess that another factor is third party licenses. After the NES and SNES many third parties figured out that it would be better to just sell the compilations of their old games by themselves. Just see Capcom (MegaMan, arcade and fighting games collections), Konami (Castlevania, Contra, Metal Gear and arcade), Taito, Bamco, SNK, whatever company owns Valis, Turrican, those guys that port single arcade games to everything, and so on.

I still haven't heard anyone say why OpenFPGA is so good. It's not input delay cause modern emulation for lower power consoles is sub 1 frame, and every time someone says it's "more accurate" than software emulation, I ask for examples of ways it's more accurate and never get a specific answer

This isn't even me being rhetorical, I genuinely want someone to explain the hype to me cause I don't get it. What is FPGA doing in terms of actual gameplay experience that a standard, decently made emulator isn't already doing just as perfectly?

>In every actual CRT I've ever used, the light bleeds too much for the actual pins to be visible unless you're getting REALLY close

The only times I remember seeing scanlines at home clearly was with Project 64 on a 17"LG Flatron when setting the resolution at 640x400, and maybe AMOK on the previous 15" screen.

My personal experience from the nineties is 14 to 20 inches consumer CRTs with considereable degrees of light bleed and wornt out arcade cabinets, so I prefer to use mask shaders rather than scanlines when it comes to home console emulation. CRT-Guest with the scanlines disabled and the mask enabled, or Lottes (fakelottes on the Deck if I want to conserve battery)

Here's an example: An FPGA can run all of original hardware in parallel. Where as a software based emulator has to emulate everything sequentially one at a time. Due to how CPUs work. This can create timing issues that have to be worked around with hacks.

The problem with this approach is that the hardware requirements to through the roof when you attempt to just brute force it. Seriously. There still isn't a cycle accurate PS1 or N64 emulator.

>L2/R2 way too stiff
super easy to press now. also, retard youtubers made it sound like it's impossible to use them because "they are too small", but unless you have the motor skills of a 2 year old, you will not have any problem, even slightly. it doesn't matter if you have sausage fingers, it's not an issue and never was.
>speakers muffled because of design fuckup
they are now correctly angled and it sounds superb. play something like Gradius 3 and the stereo effect is great.
>d-pad too stiff
maybe it was just my unit, but the first version d-pad was too stiff to comfortably hit diagonals. I am actually shocked they fixed it, because I never heard anyone else even mention it.

compared to the vita, it is a bit heavier and the ergonomics are not quite as superb, but it is definitely comparable. it is quite a bit more powerful than the vita, retroarch loads games within a second compared to around 10 seconds on the vita, and n64 runs much better. the screen is 720p vs the vita 544p, so everything scales nicer. at $60 this should be the #1 recommendation.

Guys I understand that, on a very technical level, FPGA functions more like original hardware than emulation. I'm asking in what ways does this actually improve gameplay? Like, can anyone give me a specific example of a game where emulation isn't functionally flawless, but OpenFPGA is?

And I already answered it. Try reading. Software emulation can't preserve the the original system's hardware timings. Which can cause glitches and bugs. See: SNES Speedy Gonzales. FPGAs don't have this limitation. They can run every hardware component in parallel like they're supposed to.

>Speed Gonzales for the SNES has a notorious bug that historically affected all emulators. In level 6-1, part one of the level Galactical Galaxies, there is a button to be pressed for the game to progress. A casual player would run up to the button, press it, and…the game would lock up. The music continues but the player can no longer do anything. The game has no save system, so that means quite a lot of play time down the drain. And until 2010, this affected every single SNES emulator.

I did see it, and that problem was fixed a decade before FPGA retro consoles were even available. Cycle accuracy's basically a standard in 8/16 bit emulators these days

>> No.10920157

>>10920083
The idea is that tons of games out there could have issues like this or even be on a minor level that may go unnoticed most of the time but still isn't accurate to the original experience which is what a lot of people want. With software emulation they have to do tricks to get it to play like the original system, and cycle accurate stuff is taxing on a system whereas with FPGA you're essentially playing the same as if you had the original hardware with the same flaws and quirks that emulation itself has to sort of attempt to replicate.

Granted, we've seen with the FPGBC it's not perfect in certain respects. You're required to remove a capacitor for the Gameboy Printer to work, Kirby Tilt n' Tumble apparently causes issues (I think this was patched), and stuff like the EZ-Flash Jr. doesn't work like it does on an actual GBC. Even the Everdrive required a patch to get working like it does on the GBC. But you can argue the EZ-Flash and Everdrives aren't really native games, and when they flash games to their cart they're performing differently to the actual game itself. I can put in my copy of Link's Awakening DX into my FPGBC and play it without issues, but if I use it on my EZ-Flash Jr. I have to drop the CPU speed to half to get it working.

idk, v .4 feels pretty good, just missing a few things.
It could do with syncthing, fixing the gamelist (shortcuts, customisation) and a scraper for normalfags. Maybe options to rebind things like A/B swap and disabling the quick menu on the menu button? Not sure what else I'd want.

I'm saying it's not perfect, but its solutions are far more accurate to the original hardware compared to relying on software emulation. On the Analogue Pocket KT&T works if I remember right, it's only on the FPGBC where it's having issues, and the issues are significantly rarer on the FPGA side of things compared to the software emulation side of things. Neither solution is perfect, but if you want something more accurate it's FPGA, if you don't care about the minor things it's emulation.

You can look at some of the accuracy-focused emulators to see examples.

LADX on Gambatte had issues with flickering that was tied to the emulator rather than the game itself as an example a few years ago.
https://github.com/pokemon-speedrunning/gambatte-speedrun/issues/99

If I go to Sameboy we scan see stuff like Telefang missing its speech.
https://github.com/LIJI32/SameBoy/issues/617
and the accuracy regarding timing is incorrect in the current version.
https://github.com/LIJI32/SameBoy/issues/616

These are just simple examples you avoid with FPGA compared to the emulators themselves because overall they're not having these issues. But like I said earlier, it seems like with FPGBC specifically it's having issues due to software implementation being wishy-washy (They don't automatically have profiles for each game that the system sets itself to, you need to change the speed and GBC fix manually) whereas other implementations like the Analogue Pocket do this natively.

Yet another example of the weird "it doesn't count if the hardware isn't period correct" trend that you only see in vidya. Imagine if this happened in a forum for vintage movies/tv/music/etc

>"Hey, I just got a new 4K screen for my living room, are there any good 4K releases of older spaghetti wester-"
>"MMMMODS! THIS IS A PLACE TO DISCUSS CINEMA MADE BEFORE THE YEAR 1990, BUT THIS...THIS HEATHEN, IS DISCUSSING HARDWARE RELEASED IN 2016!"

They'd rightfully call you a fucking sperg. I love these modern devices because they're, more often than not, the best means of playing retro games. Modern emulation devices I can take on the go allowed me to try so many classic games I otherwise wouldn't have played if I were forced to shill out hundreds for original carts that may not even work properly as more and more carts and systems become prone to failure. Anyone who actually loved these classic games should be THRILLED that we're still inventing new, wonderful, and convenient ways for new generations of people to experience them, despite the publishers themselves leaving them to rot.

But you don't actually give a fuck about the games themselves, do you? You just want nice collectable pieces of plastic to line up on your dusty shelves, rows and rows of hundreds of games to be enjoyed by no one as you just play the same dozen games or so you remember liking as a kid. You want the prestige of being a "REAL retro gamer" because it's the only thing about your taste in games that makes you feel special, because as soon as you take away those perfectly catalogued rows of games and meticulously organized shelves of game consoles, you're just yet another person who only plays the same dozen or so go-to classics that literally everyone else plays.

There is genuinely no difference between using a cart and a ROM file. The only functional difference between a game cartridge, and an SD card, is an SD card can be used for more devices.

You're still "running roms" when you use official carts. It's the exact same 1's and 0's being streamed to the device. There's no hardware that makes the cart special. It's just a digital storage device, no more special than a USB stick.

These devices usually have customized kernels on ARM, which steam doesn't support (unless you use box86/64 I guess), often lack modern GPU features like Vulkan (or even proper OpenGL), don't run display managers, and they usually have like 1GB RAM. There's just too many limitations where people would need to rewrite things or create wrappers.

ROCKNIX (former JELOS) will potentially support it as they lifted their ban on Anbernic, although RK3566 software still isn't as feature rich as either the old 35XX's or the Mini's and probably will never be.

There's no point for an odin 3. The 2 is already powerful to emulate everything you want it to since the emulation scene is held back by android. At best it would just be a minor revision like an oled screen that's guaranteed to be a price bump.

imo they're a bit of a reddit brand as their prices have always been on the higher end relative to other chinkhelds as they were kinda the only maker for a while that didn't make absolute shit build quality devices and even offered things like metal shells which reddit perceives to mean quality

the problem was (and still is) at some of their prices, their controls/inputs suck for anyone that actually plays a game besides pkmn firereddit title screens, which leads into the hoarder consoomer meme that a bunch of these people just buy these chinkhelds just to buy them and don't even play them

i think the fact that miyoo and retroid have been mainstays of recent has caused anbernig to price things more competitively, but it still feels like all of their devices have one or two intentional shortcomings in order to release another device later, and in general just flood the market with arguably the same shit over and over by rehashing the same internals

again with their pricing it's inexcusable imo to have terrible inputs when the $40 miyoo mini plus basically runs laps around any anbernig dpad and retroid was smart enough to fully rip off the vita dpad, and with all the props they get for le build quality, they've had numerous devices where things like the screens would unglue from the case, shoulder buttons would completely break and stop working, and just other shit like that that while still can happen with other brands, generally happen perceivably less and typically is just an easier pill to swallow when the price is relatively cheap (the rgb30 by powkiddy is a piece of shit but worth it at its price for the merit of its screen for example)

also operating system experience - outside of what comes with android nowadays - is pretty key with these chinkhelds (the miyoo mini is loved so much in part thanks to custom firmware), and anbernig has basically given the finger to devs that would make their device better for free kek

It's looking like Anbernic, even if theirs suck they got a decent head start, the popularity on reddit/tiktok and the no stick advantage.
Powkiddy is probably still working on the X18 which is a higher price point, no signs of a V90 successor.
Retroid, as unlikely as it is that they would join this race after their first attempt on hinges crashed and burn, will probably also aim for a higher price.

this autism needs to stop, retroid 3/4 screen sizes are bigger than almost every single "real" handheld ever made (with the exception of the XL ds systems who's entire selling point were being bigger than normal), and it's already significantly higher res than ANY screen that gamecube and ps2 was designed for.

I'd argue the massive steamdeck sized handhelds are a bigger meme desu. Up until nintendo switch it was basically universally accepted that a handheld should generally be able to fit in a pocket, because "being easy to take from place to place" is the entire point of a handheld system, so much so that handheld revisions would often make "it's smaller and more pocketabe" would be an entire selling point (gameboy pocket, gameboy micro, psp go, ds lite) but now people are fine with handhelds that are barely more portable than a fuckin gaming laptop

Sick of the "4.7" is too small for gamecube" memes so did a test to end the bullshit once and for all. This is my 4.7" Retroid screen, four and a half feet away is a DVD case which is 5.6" tall for scale.

A 4.7" handheld screen is the equivalent of sitting under five foot away from a 23" screen, something that was fairly standard when the gamecube and PS1 launched. And keep in mind, most living rooms had their TVs even further away than five foot, typically making room for a coffee table or something similar, so this comparison's skewed in the TV's favor and still only managing to be neck and neck with the handheld.

tl;dr, if a 4.7" handheld screen is too small for gamecube, then a 23" CRT is apparently also too small for gamecube.
