For a change, I would like to ask you fucking nerds what chinkhelds, as well as official handhelds (refurbished or mods) are actually worth buying nowadays so we can update the OP info on the future

[Anonymous No.10700834]

Regarding the FPGBC and its new update.
I’ve previously said it was working with all flash carts, including the EZ Flash Jr. after more tinkering I’ve found that to be wrong.
The EZ can play seemingly all GB games and a lot of GBC games IF the ROM size is smaller. It can’t play DQ III or Wario Land 3 for example, unless I downclock the FPGA, making the games run but unplayable. Works perfectly with Everdrives though.
Also, after dicking around, the clock speed seems even tighter and the same as the original GBC. Might still be not perfect, but I can’t feel any difference.

In fairness, some people sell second hand Windows Ayaneo Airs (usually the 5560U APU variants) for less than $360 nowadays, so for older models you thankfully wont need to be much a millionaire to own them, at least compared to buying a brand new Ayaneo device. Only problem with the Windows variants is that they are just are not suitable as actual "portable" devices to bring on road trips due to their atrocious battery life, unless you have some good battery banks with you.
I guess the best way to describe them is that they're like "boutique" electric cars, if that makes sense? Cool to show off but not really useful for practical situations unless you have it plugged into the wall at at all times. Thankfully they've dipped their feet into Android devices, and the Pocket Air is actually good for PS2/GC/PSP emulation with a pretty OLED panel and much better battery life in comparison. It's just a question of whether you'd want to go with an Odin 2 with much more powerful specs for the same price at that point.

It really depends on whether you dont have any other options for using those old carts, or if you don't mind essentially paying a premium for that. If you already own a GB of any sort, then you need to ask yourself more than anything if you really play GB carts enough to justify purchasing it. And also if you like vertical handhelds or not, I think it would've been better if they made a vertical device instead.

Why would they even include analog sticks at that point? It looks fine for 2D games assuming your hands dont cramp up when holding a GBA SP these days but 3D games look like they'll be a nightmare to play on that.

[Anonymous No.10702439]

>>10702428
>Why would they even include analog sticks at that point?
Because including sticks lets them justify pricing it in a higher bracket. The sheer possibility of 3D games is an easy $50+ increase.
Once you realize that design decisions aren't made for actual usability purposes, this whole industry starts to make more sense.

I have one, and I'm genuinely thinking of switching to the RP3+. I mostly use my handhelds for GBA, and GBA on a 3.5 inch 4:3 screen is just a little too small for me. I'll miss the front-firing speakers, but oh well.

I tried the Trimui Smart Pro, but it's dogshit. The chip is barely strong enough for 2x speed, it gets massively hot just playing GBA, there's ugly artifacts every time you enter or exit a game, and the software is just super locked-down so it's hard to fix certain issues.

I know it's not a steam deck, but 2 hours for 6w is absurd. The Win Mini with the same chip, same battery size, and same size screen with same 120hz refresh rate gets almost the same 2 hours (1h 50m) at 15w. 9w more and only 10m less. At 4w, only 2w less, it gets 5.5h total, or 3.5h more. I have a feeling there's something really fucked with the heat dissipation causing the fan to go absolutely ham even at 6w, something wrong with the software not really lowering the refresh rate/not really turning off the lower screen, battery vendor lying about the true size of the battery, or some combination of these.

It really doesn't make sense either, because this is the kind of battery life you'd get from something like the Ayaneo Air with its 28w battery and 5560u/Vega graphics, which is to say basically nothing.

you would be much better suited for a 2S than an RP4 if you just wanted GBA and some light PS2, or play the PSP version instead if it can't handle the PS2 version

>>10706313

>Does the fan run any quieter due to the slower chip?
At least in the Odin Lite, the D900 never got hot enough for the fan to activate for me. That was with playing some PS2 stuff like Onimusha Dawn of Dreams and God Hand at 2x - 3x res. I think the chip only needs active cooling when trying to use the last 5% of its performance, though I guess that might change in a smaller shell like the RP4.
>>10706318
iirc I was running P3 (not FES) on my 2S fullspeed once I changed a setting that helped with the transparency effect slowdown. I also didn't get very far though, just tested the beginning.

I am undoubtedly going to be called a shill for this, but every PSX game I’ve tried on my R36S runs flawlessly, most of the N64 games are playably good at 25-30fps with stuttering/drops in bigger areas, and the Dreamcast, while not really workable with big long-distance games is genuinely manageable with frame skip and fighting games etc... you can even manage 2D PSP games alright. 3D PSP, big Dreamcast, and of course Saturn games are the only things I’d say it has really failed at for me.
Again not a shill but for the money you’ve got a choice between this or the XU10 (which is supposedly slightly better at the top end of emulation as it has a better chip and a heat sink). Can go for RG35XX also if you don’t mind dropping the joysticks

I get where you're coming from on the AOV angle.
May I recommend a couple of things to you coming from one AOV > size autist to another. It may be a good idea to use a screen > distance calculator and something like displaywars, a PPI claculator or calculating IS or equivalent size to AR for the device and then distance based on your own arm length at min/max distance.
While I can't provide you with links to the others, I can provide you with this ancient excel doc
https://carltonbale.com/home-theater/home-theater-calculator/comment-page-1/
The first AOV it provides @ THX longest allowable viewing distance is the one you'll generally want to take note of but measuring your nose bridge to centre of screen works too if possible. It doesn't have to be exact but will give you an idea of AOV.
From there it's just filling in your equivalent screen sizes, with this calculator I recommend disregarding the visual acuity field for the most part and distance, it's based on resolution and it won't apply here.
I also use this calculator to determine the equivalent ideal size for a 4k TV for my bedroom. It'd 42-44" btw, I got scammed and bought a 55", I will forever regret my decision. There's not enough space for me to fix that.

I find that for a 3.5" 4:3 device I have to hold it pretty close to my face to simulate the same distance as a TV would have, so for some game it's lackluster.
Running your various resolutions & distances through there should prep you a bit.
godspeed

It's fine if you grew out of gaming, no hobby's for everyone after all, but respectfully this sounds like a you problem. Plenty of people with families still enjoy the occasional games (in fact handhelds tend to be popular amongst the crowd, as a lot of dads like having something that can quickly be set aside if something comes up), and acting like there's no reason to revisit old games is like saying there's no reason to revisit old music or movies.

I mean, it doesn't feel too sturdy, it feels a bit cheap and the D-Pad's 4 separate buttons on my device, though the sounds is fine, anyways mine feels cheap, but it really was cheap, so it's fine. I don't know how the more premium/expensive of these controllers feel, though I mostly hear a lot of good things about Razer, Backbone and also GameSir, so go for those if you want real quality.

If quality's not your main priority and you just want something that works well enough and is cheap on your budget, the MOCUTE-060 works well enough and has lasted me about a year now.

If you have more budget and don't mind using it, I'd definitely get the other ones though, since I always have this feeling that mine could just go and stop working at any point due to its battery.

The triggers on the RP4 aren't an issue on anything shipped after 1/31, and the green tint is already fixed by the "cope filter" as you called it. Outside of that one FF7 pic, every time I've seen the screen postpatch the colors have looked really good. The ghosting is apparently a vsync issue and I heard something in one of the eceleb videos mention something about Retroid planning to get a fix made after Chinese new year. We'll see on that I guess. I don't get the autism over the fan volume, though. If you're trying to play the highest end PS2 on a tiny pocketable handheld like this, I don't see any way around having a fan on full blast outside of a more expensive chip.

No, the chip is actually pretty decent. It's a Snapdragon 662. Not great for a phone nowadays, but not bad as far as lower end chinkhelds are concerned. The problem is storage space. If you read the comments in that twitter thread, turns out that the user-accessible partition only has around 6GB. And there's no easy way to expand that, at least right now. Why would you want local storage on a device whose raison d'etre is "you'll own nothing and you'll be happy"?

Yeah, it looks as if someone cut a DualSense in half and stuck those pieces to a tablet.

Well, PS2-tier graphics on a handheld was enough of a reason to own one for most people back when PSP released. The problem was that developers quickly found out that it wasn't profitable to make a PSP game when a PS3 game would simply sell better because there was less piracy and the user base was older, generally speaking. On the DS the choice wasn't as clear, because while DS was also pirated to hell, it was much easier and cheaper to make a 2D game for it than a 3D game for PSP, PS3, or Wii. Nintendo also made it a point to earn money from hardware sales, even if it's just a tiny bit, so even if someone bought a DS purely to pirate they were still in the green. Sony was different, I think they might have sold PSP at loss back when it first launched. There really was nothing comparable at the time specs-wise.

Yes, but he was explaining old Windows having a core for Arm chip based systems. It is also possible on these Android devices to emulate more modern Windows for older games. The power required is not always trivial and some games can be hit and miss. It requires some set up too.

Both, the problem is fucking around with the kernel is low level shit that sucks hard to work with, and you can brick the device.

Also, each device would need a different kernel based on it's specific hardware, and that probably sucks because a lot of these chinkhelds have different shit on the motherboard even if they're the same model.

The only OLED I've owned was the Vita and it had black spots, that what you're talking about?
>(got no idea how a software update is gonna fix this), but knowing the screens not defective puts me at ease. Still, wild nobody really talks about this.
If it is that, I'd imagine it's something similar to the tech used in cameras to deal with dirty sensors/imperfections where the RAW is unaffected but the JPG output etc adjusts for it. I had a TV where a backlight strip failed and had a purple hue and manually adjusted it to suit.
Perhaps something like that?

but again, if it's those spots similar to what the vita and early OLEDs had, that shit is super tiny and you'd still need to see it first, that's way harder to fix than a couple of gradients.

[Anonymous No.10713237]

Nah, look up the "mura" effect on OLED's. I guess it's an issue with practically every OLED screen. It's more noticeable with certain hues of grey, but once you notice it you'll start to see it a bit during games. It's a very slight, textured look on the screen instead of being pure color. With phones and things like the vita it's much harder to notice due to the small screens and res, but with the Steam Deck it sticks out a bit more.

There are people that find it distracting enough they returned their deck over it, but for me I really don't mind the look (kinda adds to the retro vibe) and just knowing it's a normal occurrence with this particular kind of screen puts me at ease. Weird that you never see reviewers bring it up though. I also wonder why OLED's would have this sort of issue.

So far I'm really digging the Deck OLED (even with the mura tism). It was well worth the 600 bucks, and emudeck is just wonderful, plus I've been playing quite a few new games on it too.

The big thing imo is pocketability. If you want something mainly to play on the bed or couch while you've got something chill on in the background? Deck. If you want something you're going to use out and about, you may want to wait for a smaller, more powerful handheld which I have no doubt is coming.

Seriously consider pocketability though. It's more important than you'd think.

Save for the Deck then. Been after the perfect emulation handheld for a while and the original Deck model was almost it (but after several RMA's due to buttons with too much dead zone I finally returned it), the OLED model has been a handheld /vr/ dream come true though. Emudeck makes the whole setup quick, painless, and looks nice visually. All the emulation works wonderfully (getting 2x res on the most taxing ps2 and gc games with no frame drops or issues), and it runs a pretty nice chunk of steams library just fine. It's got me tackling a lot of my backlog and I doubt you'd regret the purchase.

One piece of advice I'd give ya with regards to a handheld you need to save for. Check the size of the content you want to play on it.

Measure it out, find out what it is integer scaled, or stretched in aspect ratio, make a silly little paper cutout even, print out some shitty image with text on it and hold it at arms length to see if it's too big or small. With a deck it's unlikely to be too smal...but it'll give you an idea of if it's right for you.
Worst comes to worst, bust out the real weirdo nerd shit and get out the screen to view distance calculators.

Keep in mind that the deck will be fairly heavy relative to your other handhelds, which can make them more unpleasant to hold for long periods. Even the Switch gets unpleasant to play handheld for a long time. If you have something you can rest it on, or just use an external controller it helps, but I figure if you want to avoid a laptop then that probably isn't what you're looking for.

We call it the flop a lot and has been discontinued, but I'm pretty sure it was a big sales success. If you're wondering how the fuck it would be discontinued if it's a success, I'm assuming that's because they aren't ordering any more T618s at this point and the RP3+ they have remaining in stock is just that. Could be wrong ofc but I'm expecting a flop 2 announcement anywhere from April to July. Either going to come with D1100 only or D1100 + D900 if the non-pro RP4 manages to sell better than expected.

If you zoom in you'll notice it. Basically there's these very tiny "dots" all over the darker colors of the screen.

Nah.
>>10714249
There are actually videos of people trying to burn an image into their OLED Steam Decks... if you're a regular person, it'll never happen to you. You've gotta turn the brightness all they way up and leave a static image on there for two months running the thing to its absolute limits.
starting to wish I never brought you the mura issue. I just thought it was interesting nobody talks about it but I feel like some people are gonna make a mountain out of a mole hill.

[Anonymous No.10714446]

>>10714407
I figured it would give the people that notice it the peace of mind that their screen wasn't defective, but yeah, had I known if probably have kept it to myself. Just thought it was interesting. I still do wonder why OLEDs have that issue with that particular color though.
>>10714432
As somebody with an A54 and have done some intense emulation testing, I'd recommend against it for ps2/gc. It'll handle early ps2 games or JRPG's just fine, but when you get to the middle or late life of the ps2's library you'll start noticing some slowdowns that can effect gameplay. GameCube just downright doesn't emulate well. It's great for anything up to the ps1 and 64 tho.

[Anonymous No.10714448]

>>10714446
Sure but then you're paying $300+ for PSX/n64 emulation. You can easily get that on a $100 chinkheld.

[Anonymous No.10714457]

>>10714448
Exactly. I needed a good new phone and it was on sale for 200 so it was a no brainer for me, but yeah, I wouldn't really recommend it plus the backbone if you're looking for just an emulation handheld.

my plan is to immediately copy everything it has on the sd card to another 128gb sd card and use that one instead... that should work fine right? i heard the stock ones are prone to dying randomly
