/vr/ - Retro Games

Touch controls are laggy, awkward, emulators drain a ton of battery and playing games in public is totally gay

No. N/A.

>>6065223
i use one of these, controls on mobile are terrible.

>>6065239
>Touch controls are laggy
They're awkward to use for faster-paced games, but they're instantly responsive.

>emulators drain a ton of battery
Depending on your phone, not that much.

>playing games in public is totally gay
If you're an insecure little bitch.

>>6065257
they are laggy, stop pretending you know anything zoom zoom

>>6065264

He is right in every point though. And if you don't like touch controls (which I do not) you can either buy a controller dedicated for phone (like these switch-like controllers) or, like me, buy a 2 dollar clamp on Aliexpress and use phone with ds4. Despite all the flaws it's a pretty amazing experience.

>>6065270
Why would I choose to drain the battery on my phone when I can just use retroarch on a vita? I'd rather have a dedicated handheld with physical controls. OP's pic is basically a vita form factor but way clunkier and needlessly relying on wireless connections (and a way less sturdy feel).

>>6065273

In this situation of course Vita is a better choice. I do not have a Vita and phone is not the worst of options nowadays, there's less lag than in old Android versions. And I resolved the battery draining issue by carrying a power bank in my bag which I carry to work every day anyway.

>>6065257
It's not just the manchild shaming, if your boss, colleague or a customer catches you playing games during work time you'll feel like shit.
And games demand a kind of complete focus and time commitment that keeps conflicts with doing other activities. We've all fell for the handheld meme at some point, just don't fucking do it.

>>6065273
Largely depends on the core, Mednafen and Bsnes are battery vacuums. Something like GBC should be fine.

>>6065270
Wouldn't carrying a controller around defeat the point of mobile.

>>6065284
Another anon above is carting around a bag and battery bank too, there's no reasoning with them. Zoomers gotta zoom.

>>6065282

>It's not just the manchild shaming, if your boss, colleague or a customer catches you playing games during work time you'll feel like shit.

What are you talking about? I play games at work, my colleagues and boss know about it, noone feels different about me and I don't feel like shit or like I'm being judged, whatever. The problem is that you are insecure, you think that people give a shit about you or what you do. They do not, and even in a rare ocassion when they do - why would you care?

>>6065287

I'm carting around a bag with stuff I need for my work, which you probably wont understand while underage, unemployed and living with parents. It makes no difference for me whether I take a power bank in addition to all the other stuff I need to take anyway.

>>6065284

What difference does it make if you carry:

1. Your phone and a controller
2. Your phone and another device to play games because you need your phone anyway.

And if you mean mobile as controller being attached to the screen - you can buy such attachment for basically any controller and any phone.

>>6065296
You can get a used vita for the same price as a power bank, though, and with an SD2Vita you can throw on every 8/16 bit console's fully library easily. PSP can do 90% as well for significantly less than even that.

>>6065223
Nope I don't. I do play games on my phone, but they're simple shit like Minesweeper or 2048, games that don't require quick inputs like a platformer or a fighting game.
I emulate NES and Mega Drive games on my 3DS sometimes, or I just take my Game Boy Color or Advance if I'm on a 3 hour train to another city. In public places, I wouldn't usually play anything else, other than the simple phone games I mentioned above.

>>6065223
My Boy for gba (for local network play with my gf)
ePsxe for ps1 (it lags less than the retroarch's cores)
Yaba Sanshiro for saturn (just for policenauts)
openMSX for msx1/2 (yeah, I like mg)
Retroarch for everything else
Scummvm
Open MW for morrowind
Open XCOM for xcom
VCMI, just downloaded from FDroid for HMM3
PPSSPP because is the most beautiful emulator ever
MAME4droid for some arcade local play
I even play some C64 via ViceC64 and roguelikes trought termux

Touch controls or a bluetooth chinese controller (not so much).
I only found difficulties to play Metroid Fusion because of the need to keep R down to use rockets, impossible with touch.

>>6065350
I forgoz .z5 games trought fabularium or frotz

>>6065223
Touch screen controls. Ninja Gaiden is fucking impossible.

ps classic controller + wallet stand

>>6065223
Not a phone exactly but I have an old tablet I use for retro gaming on the go with a small Bluetooth controller. Convenient and easy to move save files between it and my wii

>>6065273
I love my Vita, but your average smartphone can run much more accurate cores. If it weren’t for its native library and PSP BC I probably wouldn’t be using it over my phone.

>>6065282
wow you are a sensitive bitch.
i bet you are a closet faggot.

>>6065223
Yes, on a small android tablet.
It's powerful enough to emulate Dreamcast with no apparent issues.
But I mostly use it for 16 and 32 bit JRPGs for which touch controls don't pose any problems.
Being able to play touchscreen Android versions of Baldurs Gate 2, Icewind Dale, HOMM3 and even now Neverwinter Nights is pretty cool, too.

>>6065223
If I'm emulating a game it's either on my 3DS or Vita

>>6065223

>>6065264
>zoom zoom

>>6065223
I never ever intend emulating on mobile. Touch controls suck ass, the third party controllers are filled to the brim with horrendous input lag, and if we even consider first party controllers like the PS4 and Xbone's setting up the bluetooth and phone holder is a chore to do and a time waster every single time you wanna play as opposed to simply pull an handeld out of your pocket or bag and turn it on.
I'd rather much prefer emulating stuff on PSP, PS Vita, 3DS, or Switch whenever i get one (the PSP specially is already servicable enough for me as it emulates NES, Genesis/Megadrive, and PS1 games with no issues whatsoever).
Handelds like >>6065256 look like a decent option, but only if their hardware and buttons are good enough, as well as stopping with this shitty "asymmetric analog" meme that's super uncomfortable to use.

>>6065714
Doesn't the PSP play ps1 games natively?

>>6065223
What's a good controller for mobile emulation? As everyone already said, touch controls are trash, but with so many options it's kind of difficult to choose.

I have a gpd xd+

You can't go out without needing video games?

>>6065223
Mobile emulation/gaming is honestly pretty fucking fantastic if you can look past all of the copypasted, low effort, ad-ridden, timewaster, flash game garbage in the Play Store (although, some of them aren't that bad).

You always have a phone on you, and while carrying around a controller defeats some of the space advantages, it's still probably less bulky overall than carrying around a dedicated handheld, and frankly, touch screen controls are perfectly suitable for low-intensity games. Furthermore, Android is -really- flexible and there's a lot of neat shit you can do with it--I think >>6065350 illustrates this well. A ton of old engines have been ported to Android, like the two that anon mentioned, as well as GoldSrc (so, you can play HL1, CS1.6, TFC, etc.). There's also been a number of games that have been flat-out ported to Android, like HL2 and M&B:W. There's even VN readers and ports for weebfriends.

There's also some really cool emulators--Magic DOSBox is a great port of DOSBox that gives you a TON of touch screen input options (along with controller input options, of course), which makes it feasible to make games with mouse-heavy controls comfortably playable (of course, if you're a madman, you could just use an actual M+KB). There's even a Windows emulator, which lets you play some early Windows games like Diablo. You can run terminal based games through terminal emulators. There's also various game streaming services, like Steam's streaming service and whatever Nvidia's streaming service is, that makes it possible to stream games from your PC to your phone, which works incredibly well assuming you have the connection for it. There's so much cool stuff you can do, and all in all, there's a lot more to it all than meets the eye.

>>6066206
>like the two that anon mentioned
Whoops, meant to say three. Although, I think ScummVM is a set of engine recreations too, isn't it? So that would be four.

>>6066114
For build quality and connection, people say an Xbone controller + clip is best. Some find the clip uncomfortable to hold for longer periods of time though.

I have the telescopic controller in the OP picture (Wee 2T) and it also has no noticeable lag, and the buttons/sticks are great. The only problem is it covers up the phone's ports when it's horizontal. There are some cheaper Ipega controllers with a similar form factor, but people complain about analog deadzones with them.

>>6065291
Your boss doesn't care? Wtf is your job?

>>6065223
I play mostly GBA (yes, not retro)RPGs on it with GBAdotEmu. I sometimes play arcade-y SNES and Genesis games on it. Also have the app version of DOOM and Tyrian2K, but the touch screen controls ain't great for those.

>>6066206
>flash game garbage

Sonny and some Armorgames ports are good and can be played with no webz/wifi/data. Not "retro" though.

>>6065291
>noone feels different about me
That they tell you about to your face.
>I don't feel like shit or like I'm being judged, whatever
We know, that's the problem.
>The problem is that you are insecure
He's not, but you are for choosing games over human interaction in public.
>you think that people give a shit about you or what you do. They do not, and even in a rare ocassion when they do - why would you care?
Do you know how dating works? Do you have any plans of attracting a girl or ever dating?

>>6066541
Imagine shaming people for playing video games on a retro video games board.

>>6065223
Mobile, go back to /v/.

I would rather blow my brains out than game on my phone.

>b..bu...but its a powerful computer and you already have it

No. Its a pain to use peripherals and controllers with. It's not comfortable to hold. I don't want to play on a multitasking device where I can receive calls/texts/notifications. It gets hot as fuck. It drains battery. Apps are generally unstable.

Dedicated handheld or bust. Phones are for plebs.

>>6066747
I think everyone should follow their dreams, on the other hand you shouldn't let your friends be a fucking manchild in public. If I were acting like a tool I'd rather someone tell that to my face.

>>6065223
It's cumbersome, but I usually connect a ps4 controller through micro USB to my phone when I'm at home. The only thing with that method is the phone tries to play sound through the controller for some reason, so if you want sound, you need headphones. I only really do that if I'm playing an N64 game or a more fast paced SNES game like Wild Guns or something though, otherwise the built touch controls work alright for what they are.

Not ideal, but it works just fine for turned based JRPGs.

>>6066495
xbox one controller is best technically but in my experience it's too bulky to carry around and I don't like how screen is positioned with the clamp, I bought saitake 7007x controller and while objectively it has worse analogs and worse battery life it is just so much more convenient to use and carry around in my bag, the xbox one controller is fine at home but it's too inconvenient on the go

>>6066824
what a fucking insecure faggot you are jesus fuck, playing video games is not that big of a deal maybe go outside once in a while the other anons are right nobody gives a fuck it's all in your pathetic little insecure head

>>6065730
Yes and the Vita does it even better

>>6067663
literally doesn't.

I've got a multi-system emulator set up on my iPhone with a DS4 to play it. Works breddy gud.

>>6065313
>You can get a used vita for the same price as a power bank
Which country do you live in? Really, I wanna know what place sells a used Vita for less than $15

I use this guy
<------
I was hesitant at first because the only reason I knew about it was because of you tuber recommendations and I have been burned before by other Chinese Bluetooth android controllers. They all missed the mark in some way but this is the only one that meets all of my expectations

>works right out of the box
>doesnt require additional software
>longer than average battery life
>comfortable
>fits in pocket
>powers on/syncs fast
>charges fast
>has all the buttons to play PSX dual shock games (has R3/L3)
>Joysticks are very well made, responsive and comfortable

I found a basic version on aliexpress for $21 that was the real deal.

I also have the flydigi wee 2 in OPs post which is better in some ways but has a few drawbacks. I keep it as a backup.

>ridiculous battery life (allegedly over 40 hours)

BUT

>What is RetroArch

>>6065291
Ironically your boss will act like they don't care....but in reality, they do. You will never know that it's the one factor that held you back from a promotion or other benefits.

>>6065223
I do, but I can only play turnbased games because bluetooth controllers, like my 8bitdo SN30, still have absurd levels of input lag for some reason.

>>6069801
What games aren't compatible with the Vita? I thought it had the same compatibility list as the PSP?

>>6065256
I don't know why you guys buy these weird chinese things when a 3DS or vita emulates games perfectly or better then these things

>>6065223
Used to, the absurd levels of input lag killed it for me. 200ms makes games like Sonic 2 feel like treacle.

>>6069891
3DSs are uncomfortable and vitas aren't cheap.

>>6069826
Non-native emulation, contrary to what >>6065730 mentioned.

>>6069879
same games for which you need to use popsloader on psp, i.e. rollcage 2, dw7 ...

>>6069937
Doesn't tweaking compatibility settings imply that it's not running natively?

>>6065223
Mobile? This belongs on /v/

>>6069958
No one is talking about mobile games.

I picked up a PSP for almost nothing a couple of weeks ago. Installing the custom firmware and emulators was a breeze and it feels like the perfect form for gb, snes, genesis and PSX games, very comfy. Currently playing through RE2/3

>>6070470
Don't fall for the "The PSP is still relevant in 2020" meme.

While I will admit it's still a quick and easy light weight handheld solution that is decent enough for PSP and PSX games but the stand alone emulation is completely antiquated at this point. Most games worth playing don't run well or at all, there is tons of ghosting on the 1000/2000 models and the interlaced video of the 3000 is just a different kind of bad. There are even tons of concessions when dealing with regular PSX emulation. Not enough buttons, compatibility/freezing issues on some games, converting memory cards is a pain in the ass, there is no save state support (PSP games have it by using an ELF) and there are no graphical enhancements. Its time to move on.

>>6069909
The N2DS is comfy

>>6070513
This is why you use a Vita instead

Also savestates are for pussies

>>6070523
Emulation is barely better on the vita but will probably improve over time. Savestates are for people who value their time.

>>6065223
3DS, Wii and Xbox are the only non-PC devices I use for emulation. Fuck buying controllers for mobile, or using mobile to begin with.
>>6070513
>Not enough buttons
What game even requires any of the analog controls? Only problem I can think of is maybe L2 and R2, but most games don't really use them. You could probably map L2/R2 to the stick and have most games still be perfectly playable.

>>6070513
>Most games worth playing don't run well or at all
It runs gameboy, nes, snes, master system, genesis and psx perfectly fine. Which is all I want it for. It's a cheap and simple solution. Granted I could run emulators on my phone and buy a cheap controller but I don't want those garbage emulator apps shitting it up.

>>6070578

You put the micro SD card in the adapter then format it using the PSP’s settings menu. How is that a pain? I’ve had a harder time getting 64gb+ cards to run on 3DS without issue.

>>6070518
The edges dig in my palms something fierce whenever I’m playing an intense game. Otherwise yeah it’s probably the most comfortable 3DS model barring the O2DS.

>>6070667

>>6070578
>>6070650

>>6070695
Nah not worth it for me. They're like $150+ second hand here. I stumbled across this PSP for 2 bucks at a weekend market, bought a charger online for 3 bucks and bam, fun little toy to enjoy retro on when I'm in the mood.
This cunt >>6070650 can suck it

>>6065223
I use my phone with an Xbox One controller and generic chinese clip. I installed Retroarch, Redream DraStic, Citra and Moonlight for PC games. I used to use both an old ipega bluetooth controller with built in clip, and 8bitdo NES30pro but both setups were stupidly top-heavy and not comfortable.

>>6070578
It doesn't fucking run any one of those 'perfectly fine'. If you like such shit experience keep it to yourself and fuck off. Adults are talking.

>>6072680
Hmm, people usually report lag with DS4 controllers but 8bitdo should work fine on Android.
If you're experiencing serious 500ms lag and are rooted with Magisk, there's a Magisk module that might help:

>6069831

My boss plays mostly the same games I do and we talk about it a lot. Also I just had a promotion and I'm really satisfied with my job. My boss is also very satisfied with my work, at least seems like it because I got a nice end year bonus from him.

Why dont you guys try to find a job where nobody judges, bullies you etc. Also if you have social skill you can do basically anything and not be perceived as an autist. I'm a climber (pretty fucking autistic thing to do), drummer and I love retro stuff and games (because I grew up with them) and nobody gives me shit for that because people actually like me.

>>6065256
This one has its issues as well, like the position of the right thumbstick, and some software shenanigans.

This baby does all I need it to do, and it has buttons too.

>>6073536

I don't know about other devices but I use DS4 with Xperia XZ Premium (Sony phones apparently support playstation peripherals and other stuff better), I've played some titles that require precision and it works perfectly fine. Probably there is some input lag, but it's not bad.

>>6065223
it's best to get a bluetooth controller with a clip if you're planning to emulate on an Android phone. Stuff like Snes9x and ePSXe there are surprisingly good at running most games where it's janky on some handhelds, especially Snes emulation

If a hacked Vita can emulate stuff, I guess that'd be fine too, but I don't have a vita and am too lazy to google.

>>6080150
a N3DS. Or old3DS if you don't care about 3d games and are OK with meh-quality SNES emulation.

ALL firmware. ALL drivers. 100% open. Hardware acceleration working. Networking (if applicable) working.

>>6080240
Yeah but if you actually read you'd see that I said "old 3DS," which rules out the VC SNES emulator, tard.

>>6080404
Honestly after reading these threads I'm pretty certain /vr/ is fucking retarded and would rather buy 200$ chinese shit rather then a modern handheld console with tons of Homebrew options

>>6080176
What the fuck? Do you not know what Homebrew or cracking is? No one is saying to buy a vita or n3ds and keep it stock they're assuming you're going to crack it and put tons of stuff on it using it's native emulators

>>6081224
That is not free as freedom

>>6081046
Kys.

I’m aware of this. While a lot of titles run great, there’s TONS of incompatible games because it’s still inaccurate as fuck gPSP. It also doesn’t emulate RTC or gyro. Couple that with graphical and audio glitches and you’re left with a mostly mediocre experience.

Srzzzzly? Might as well build your own handheld with a quad-core board.

i mean if you want the mostest FREEDOM and QUALITY. that is if you buy best switches and buttons, and half decent at building anything.

>>6081697
there is gyro and if you believe it's inaccurate as fuck, just don't play gba on handhelds because it will be inaccurate with pretty much everything else

I guess I could now since Apple removed their stupid "Made for iWhatever" standard but I think I would still need to jailbreak in order to install anything.

Thanks for proving my point.

>believe it’s inaccurate
That’s just a fact. It doesn’t matter what I believe, it’s verifiably inaccurate as shit. GPD handhelds and the Switch can run mGBA no problem. Every 3DS can run GBA games with 100% accuracy. There’s plenty of portable options that provide great emulation/support of GBA. I wish I could say Vita was one of them.

I still use my GCW Zero from time to time but I wanted something a bit better, so I ordered New Pocket Go 2 because it appears to be pretty much just a GCW Zero in a slightly different form factor, added buttons (no weird slider shortcuts), and USB-charging.

I'm struggling to find any definitive resources for it though, because it seems like the majority of software is going to come directly from the Chinese manufacturer or OPKs ported directly from GCW Zero without being rebuilt for it.

Point is I'm just hoping that it gets an adequate level of support to get the most out of the device, proper performance, etc.
Like the GBA emulator on GCW Zero, ReGBA, could use a bit of work, sound isn't great. The last update for it was 2014.
Or PocketSNES on the GCW Zero isn't totally accurate, it cannot run some rom hacks correctly, particularly the Link to the Past + Super Metroid combo randomizer. It's a build also from 2014 based on Snes9x 1.43

>>6082569
USB-C charging specifically.
The GCW Zero uses mini-USB, which is a draw back, most everything else I have these days charges by USB-C.

Not the sharpest tool in the shed are you

>>6082542
"Accuracy" at the expense of functionality, is a bad trade-off. New version gPSP on Vita has very high compatibility and fast-forward. 3DS lacks the latter.

>playing games in public is totally gay
look at this alpha male who's too shy to do whatever he wants during commute and chooses to hide in his room where he can be himself

>>6082542
but it is, you're just clueless about what you're saying.
