Anyone here tried one of these chink handhelds made specifically for emulation? They have some version of Linux installed and there are different versions and brands. I wonder if they could be better for portable emulation than PSP since they cost about as much. Probably not the best emulation devices ever, but I'm still kinda curious.

[Anonymous No.6463183]

>>6463172
Assuming you’re comparing it to the OG Vita. It’s slimmer, and the rounded edges and corners feel good. It has really good weight distribution. The triggers are digital and resting your index fingers on them feels really good, much better than on the Vita. D-pad placement isn’t as good, though. Actually the D-pad in general isn’t as good.
Overall it’s a solid upgrade ergonomically. Just keep in mind it’s a very snug fit in most pockets. That’s why I still carry around my Vita Slim instead.

For like $175, you can grab a cheap android phone, a xbone controller / ds4, and a clip and its probably as good of an experience you'll get with portable gaming.

If you already have a DS4, Xbone controller, or a bluetooth controller, the price goes down.

A $100 phone can emulate psp and ds really good. you could probably run Dreamcast games depending on the specs.

The form factor of a PSP is nice, but the computing power is limited. Also you don't have to fuck around with MicroSD to MemoryStick adapters.

Got an old model. Neat. And do you not know that it's made to be a tablet, a handheld, and a console? That's why it's called a Switch. You put it in its dock and so long as that's connected to your TV, it'll work. It even has controllers that can be attached to it. Have you ever seen one, anon?

Been having trouble with SNES and GBA on vita, what retroarch cores or separate emulators would you recommend? Was getting some framedrops in DKC on the 2005+ core, which isn't great.

Also does anyone own a RG350m? They look really nice and I was interested in picking up one. How is SNES or PS1 on that?
It may not have the OLED screen but emulation quality and form factor looks great.

It's hard for me to sacrifice good sound. I've been testing the DKC series as I said earlier, and I get the rare (but kinda annoying) stutters with 2005plus but perfect sound.
2005 non plus has fucking awful sound quality to the point of me rather taking the occasional slowdown instead. It's beyond me that the vita can't handle SNES perfectly at this point.

[Anonymous No.6468128]

>>6467927
The bad sound quality of 2005 core is bearable if you don't use headphones, at least for me. Also try overclocking to 500 mhz, it fixes the slowdown. Use PSVshell, it has better interface compared to Lolicon. Sucks I know, battery life will take a hit but it's what it is.

Vita wasn't a popular device. I am amazed it got this much support to begin with. People must have loved the thing.

Hopefully someone puts up a bounty and we'll get it eventually. With the autism of the die-hard vita fans I'm surprised it hasn't happened already.

Yes and no. You see before two years ago, Chinese handheld devices were either just disgustingly terrible or overpriced GPD stuff. In that market a PSP that can be found for 30 bucks was great. It had its cons like having outdated emulators but you were getting what you paid for. Nowadays Chinese handhelds progressively got a lot better and only with models like RG350 it passed PSP's emulation capabilities. Imo it still is the best option for 40 bucks or below range.

You also have the perks of a mature community. The PSP's not getting any more powerful but it's had everything more or less wrung from it at this point. There's not going to be a problem you run into that's undocumented, or something that can be fixed but hasn't been at this point. A chink system doesn't give you that same confidence in software support, current or ongoing.
Which is kind of funny, really. That homebrew for a locked down device generally means better support than a commercial product.

The worst problem PSPs in 2020 face is the battery. They are some that's still trucking along, I have a fat one that gives me 5 hours of battery life but most is either bloated or give 2 hours at best. Thankfully battery mods is a thing.

That's hardly an excuse when devices with a similar (or lower) pricepoint can do snes better.
The vita has a great build quality but you'd be spending a good bit on something $70 chinkware or a cheap n3DS can actually do better.

If you want proper ergonomics and a 4:3 screen chink handhelds are great.

They used to be shit but things like >>6468480 are near perfect as an emulation pocket device. They only get a bad rap due to people being uninformed or hearing things from back in the A320/early Dingoo days.
Yes there are many terrible ones that exist, but do your fucking research (aka don't be a retard) and you'll have a fine to excellent device for this kind of thing.
Certainly better than the PSP for emulation shtick that people still seem to repeat.

They cannot do N64 I'll give you that but you also have to drop a pretty penny for a phone that does that really well. And a phone that expensive I'd keep in a bulky case to protect it aka it'll be a bitch to use with most telescopic controllers.

So, this might be a bit off-topic but...
I've been playing the recent SA-1 Hack of Mega Man X and I came across this visual glitch.
Sorry for the shitty phone video.

Has this happened to anyone else?
Can somebody confirm?
Emulator is SNES9X for PS3 btw, some older build.
Game runs perfectly, just this odd glitch which I'm not sure was present in the original Mega Man X.

[Anonymous No.6473429]

https://vita.hacks.guide/

While I personally prefer the Vita, I think a New 3DS would be better for most people. It has native GBA support and the SNES VC is currently better than anything on the Vita regarding SNES emulation. The only reason I don’t use it over my Vita Is because it has a longer charge time and I’m not a fan of clamshell devices. Also the D-pad is a bit iffy. Diagonals don’t come as fluidly and the placement isn’t ideal.

The firmware/OS is the same as regular PSP, so typically you would map the missing shoulder buttons to the analog nub directions. Not the best, but it might work out okay depending on the game.

Haven't fucked with PSP emulation since it was new, the fat model that was easy as fuck to put custom firmware on.

But I never got a SNES game to work that wasn't total dogshit

I'm really on the fence. Is it ACTUALLY worth it?

at best I'm getting a used one for $200 then spending a $100 for a good memory card. And I'm new when it comes to hacking so I could be wrong but apparently you can't ever downgrade your firmware so there's only a certain one that's ideal even tho they can all be hacked.

[Anonymous No.6475508]

>>6472684
It literally doesn't work at all anon.
>>6475480
Depends. If its a vita 1000 then yes, the oled screen is beautiful and well worth it for that alone. It won't emulate SNES perfectly mind you, there's a big sacrifice of sound quality there for certain games. People will deny it but if you're a stickler for quality emulation you will notice it. Love my vita but it's true.
There are tons of great vita exclusive, psp, and psx games you can play flawlessly on it. You don't need a big memory card, just the smallest possible for a 1000 and then get a sd2vita microsd adapter. Hacking it is relatively simple.

A vita 2000 is your other option, but it lacks the awesome screen and "quality feel" that the 1000 has. However it has more battery life and doesn't require the proprietary memory card/charger at all... but in my opinion if you're not getting the original vita model you might as well invest in a chink handheld like a RG350m (premium price but built well) or PlayGo (cheaper) as those systems can do emulation really well now up to PSX for a far lower price point. SNES imo is better on them since vita emu development is quite slow.
If you absolutely need those vita exclusives though then its a no-brainer to get the 1000.

[Anonymous No.6475509]

>>6475480
200 burger bucks for a Vita? Is that its current price? Dayum, that's too much. If you don't pick a fat one you don't need a memory card, just get an sd2vita adapter. SNES on Vita is not perfect but nearly everything else runs great. So if you can't live without F-Zero or Star Fox, don't get a Vita. Also every firmware versions can be hacked and downgraded afaik. If not check the homebrew general on /vg/.

I really hope Switch Lite gets a software exploit, I'd replace my Vita with one of those for emulation. I will be missing the OLED screen though.

[Anonymous No.6475531]

I've been doing a bit of research into the chink handhelds. They seem great but all seem to come up slightly short. I always get the feel that we're just a model or two away from them being actually perfect. Plus I can never get any answers about which PSP games they can run well. I care slightly less about SNES emulation but am really focused on getting something that runs N64 PSX and DC games well.

For the Slim Vita, I did the registry edit to get more colorful screen. With that it seriously gets an upgrade in my opinion. It was unusable for me before.

There is also new development on cheap android based devices. Odroid-go Advance look cheap and crappy but it can even emulate PSP for example.

This obscurehandhelds.com/2020/05/the-rk2020-is-the-first-odroid-go-advance-clone/ hardware clone of odroidgo advance look a lot batter, and if this blog is to be believed there will be more clones of this system in the future.
