This lil' faggot worth 30 bucks?

>>712643873 (OP)
i been edging buying it and a lot of people recommend it for that price since it can play a ton of shit for cheap
but for me no PS2/GC is kinda meh, R36S-like console with PS2/GC stable 30FPS emulation would legit be the most perfect handheld

>>712643873 (OP)
ok....buy an ad?

>>712644035
also would love to have the ability to play Morrowind on it as well

>>712643873 (OP)
back to your containment thread faggot >>>/g/105570518

>lil
It's fucking tiny alright. Every shill for this garbage must be a 4'11 faggot with literal babyhands.

>>712644035
I want it for Nintendo 64 and PSP but from what I saw it struggles with them even with a custom OS.
I have an old 3DS that I tried using for a handheld emulation machine but the screen is awful.

>>712643873 (OP)
>chinese 2$ plastic garbage
shit'll probably explode into a fiery inferno killing everyone you know and love

All those million china things look the same to me. So couldn't tell ya

lol nope. Why would you even want one of these temu toys?

>>712643873 (OP)
No. Spend the extra 10 for the build quality.

>>712644595
As long as I'm in the blast too you ching chongs made a sale

>>712644595
if that was the case then alqueda would be their top customers

>>712643873 (OP)
Nah, it feels super cheap, the d-pad is absolutely horrendous, the sticks are too small and the back buttons are stiff. Either do what >>712644874 or just emulate on your PC/hacked handheld of choice.

>>712643873 (OP)
R36S?
ran most of the shit, including Tekken 3
unfortunately modding one is a gamble, they have different models and screens you don't see when you buy them
also very picky which brand of SD cards it accepts
plastic doesn't feel as good in your hands but for the price it is quite alright

>>712643873 (OP)
Get the Anbernic one, it has better build quality.

you shouldn't buy a handheld that cost less than $200 if you want your house unburned down

I went with the Miyoo Mini Plus and with Onion OS it's fucking great.

it's trash that will break within a week

>>712645970
Skill issue, just don't buy the famiclones.

>>712643873 (OP)
get an anbernic

>>712645970
im going out with a bang

>>712643873 (OP)
US$30? If so, then yes.

is it true that the buttons die super fast?

>>712643873 (OP)
the input lag always sucks. It never feels like playing on real hardware. Als you get hand cramps because it's a brick.

>>712644035
rg406v?

>>712643873 (OP)
Depends what you wanna play, compare

What does SF stand for?

>>712643873 (OP)
Those controls look so uncomfortable wtf.

>>712658028
SuperFrog

>>712658064
Those were clearly designed for small chink hands.

>>712643873 (OP)
It is. I even bought my mom the version with no sticks and put nothing but tetris on it

>>712658064
These things are ass for 3D games. The sticks are only good for fast forward and other emulation features.

30? I bought it for fucking 120 plus shipping off some facebook ad. It ran fine until the battery got low, I plugged it in to charge, then the thing never turned on again. It's a piece of shit but if there's a better version I'd try it

>>712658914
>120
wtf the appeal of this time bomb is that its super cheap and runs shit up to ps1 fine

>>712643873 (OP)
It might be fun for a week before the battery swells and explodes in the middle of the night

>>712643873 (OP)
>vertical
no

>>712643873 (OP)
I would say so, I own one and it's quite nice for playing old JRPGs.

>>712643873 (OP)
I saw some of these in a "flea market" of my country today but these always only play nes games, are these different?

>>712661784
Yeah, these are reject ARM chips running Linux, what you saw was ye old NES on chip, total garbage.

>>712661784
These are basically a raspberry pi you can set up as an emulator in any way you want with some minimal research

>>712643873 (OP)
The fuck is this "it will explode" shit.
More anti China propaganda or actual issue?
I have 2 Rg35xx and a R36Pro and they work fine. Fuck the oldest one fell into a pool of water and after a few days still worked.

>>712663251
Literal mouthbreathing retards leaving them charging overnight on a regular basis, if I had to guess

>>712663251
Actual issue. There is no such thing as a good cheap high-capacity lithium ion battery. You have to baby the fuck out of them or else they have a lifespan of <2 years.

>>712643873 (OP)
>built like a gameboy but with a bajillion buttons and thumb nubs
>those absolutely ridiculous trigger buttons

Who the fuck okays this shit? Even worse who the hell buys this shit? Just get a better device. Not just for aesthetic reasons but also because this design does not lend itself well to all these complex inputs. Its very existence if flawed. 0/10 would not buy.

>>712663334
>>712663603
I had bigger issues sooner with the PSP batteries than with these handhelds.
Wonder how bad you must treat your system to get to that issue.

>>712644241
you mean >>>/vr/11798517 ?

Has anyone done a stick replacement on one of these? Is it the same as a Joycon stick? Also is there anything else i need to do other than swapping it out?

>>712643873 (OP)
watch out for fake R36S clones (which are K36 in disguise which won't run 3D games), either buy from legit vendors or spend +$15 for an Anbernic RG35XX-H, which has no clones.

>>712664730
Yes. You won't use those sticks though.

>>712643873 (OP)
They're usually 35 bucks but watch out if for fakes.
I'm kinda impressed that it runs NAOMI pretty well after setting up the configurations and fixing all the numbered errors it showed on each ROM.

>>712644241
>no one is even talking about chink handhelds in the thread
low quality bait, try /vr/ next time, newfag

>>712655792
>rg406v
oh shit, didnt know that existed, its android too so OpenMW is also usable so I can play Morrowind as well

>>712666702
It's DMGhueg, keep it mind.

Why don't you people just put your money in the bank and just emulate

>>712666761
>DMGhueg
the what now?

>>712643873 (OP)
just shell out for a phone good enough to run at least n64 games and get a clip-on controller

>>712667081
What money hobo, it's 30 bucks.

>>712667341

>>712643873 (OP)
No. It'll try and sodomise you if you don't watch out. Speaking from experience.

>>712667890
Kevin Nash I...

>>712667890
So, are the rumors true?

>>712643873 (OP)
Bro, I paid £75 for this a few months and it never showed up. I emailed them about it and they ended up giving me a refund. Luckily, my brother gave me his since he got a Steam Deck.

>>712644035
You ain't getting near-universal GC/PS2 support on curtent chinkhelds, unless you for at least 250 bucks for either a Retroid Pocket 5 or the Retroid Flip 2

>>712670410
He paid for the whole screen.

>>712643873 (OP)
I have one of these, the buttons are very stiff and the triggers are even more stiff and very loud. The sticks are also awful and in a terrible position ergonomically
and the SD card it comes with corrupts within days

other than that, I have no complaints. Build quality feels good, screen is good, battery lasts a good while. You might be able to get some dreamcast, but forget about PSP unless its basic stuff. N64 is unplayable..

Also portmaster is very cool, I played a chunk of Half life 1 on it. You'll want a usb c->A + wifi dongle though to use portmaster

you can fix the face buttons+dpad by loosening or unscrewing 2 screws on the pcb and snipping the plastic that connects the buttons together

The G350 is a huge improvement in every way and might be able to be found for under 10$ more afaik. But I'd look for an h700 chip device like the ones anbernic makes instead.

t. bought multiple chink handhelds unfortunately

Buy an ad

What chinkheld does /v/ recommend? I only want to play NES, SNES and maybe a little Sega.

>>712671008
>Also portmaster is very cool, I played a chunk of Half life 1 on it. You'll want a usb c->A + wifi dongle though to use portmaster
This isn't necessary, you can download and dump ports on the autoinstall folder or something like that.

>>712671139
this is true but its way less convenient and also I've had to hunt for specific files which are otherwise automatically installed doing it that way

>>712671132
Cubexx

>>712671132
Virtually anything can do that. There's the RG Arc if you want a Saturnesque controller without Saturn emulation at 4". If you like your pixels square for NES and SNES (and PCE) you might want the CubeXX at 1:1 aspect ratio, which can do 3x integer scaling with marginal cropping (8px each side), 3.5" screen estate for 4:3 otherwise. And finally there's the RG353PS that's vaguely shaped like a SNES controller.

Ridge Racer 3D is my most played 3DS game. 100% the shit out of that little fucker. Id do 3 races at morning work break and 3 races in afternoon break. Every day. For years.

that's kinda cool but I wouldn't know what to play on it, I only ever got a gameboy back in the day for pokemon

I randomly got R36S as a gift, it's "okay". I'd never have bought something like this.

>>712670660
>>712672284
>shilling ecelebs focusing on chinkhelds and other portable devices for vidya means in their channel
Yeah man, I wanna do that

>>712673092
I can't be assed to take pictures of my CubeXX, sue me.

i wouldn't buy it just because the abxy buttons are in the wrong place. weebs can kts.

>>712656192
neat

>>712667641
What bothers me about these stupid handhelds is they always make the buttons so small. They weren't small like that on the original GB so why can't they just make them as big? There is clearly enough space that they can make them bigger but they refuse to do this. They don't even have to put it into the diamond shape if that somehow would help. They can put the top buttons parallel with the bottom ones or make a and x smaller but b and y bigger. Similar to a Sega controller.

I hate these chink devices.

>>712675975
They're standardized to cut costs. I got the GBA clone a few weeks ago and the size of the face buttons is refreshing, though I don't terribly mind smaller buttons. Itsy bitsy d-pad though.

My pet peeve is their refusal to use rubber membranes on start and select on mostly everything EXCEPT the entry level verticals up to recently. Feels so shit.

>>712663251
>anti China propaganda
No, you retards think you're getting a deal when you're buying unregulated electronics that usually don't have a voltage cutoff for charging/refurbished batteries/poorly soldered wires.

>>712643873 (OP)
No, stop visiting tiktok. God normies are so braindead. One of my coworkers bought this trash because he saw it on tiktok. Rather than a good chinkheld.

>>712643873 (OP)
isnt that piece of shit basically a bomb?

>>712676626
The tiny buttons feels so counterintuitive for such a tiny handheld though. There is a reason why they were the size they were on most of these handhelds back in the day. And keep in mind they would have been even bigger when you were a kid. People buying these things these days have grown man hands. So you get these little buttons and guys that will buy them have far bigger hands then they did as an 8 year old. Its fucking ridiculous.

This is one of the things I did not like about the Switch. Sure I could play the games just fine but I wouldn't mind them making the unit a bit bigger if it meant the face buttons can be at least just a bit bigger. Even if it was like 1.5 times bigger that would be an enormous improvement and probably even fix the damn thing.

I have one. No analog stick really limits everything. It's also china garbage so I'm afraid to charge it without constantly making sure it's not bursting into flames.

>>712664160
That's because you aren't meant to let Lithium batteries sit around for years fully charged/drained, retard. Nothing to do with build quality.

>>712643873 (OP)
You can get it for 20 so no

>>712643873 (OP)
Sure, but you can often get some of Anbernic's RG XX devices around that price on sale and they're a much better buy. They're usually closer to $50-$70, and still very much worth it, but if you're penny-pinching, wait for better sales. Or you can go for the BatleXP G350 which is an Anbernic system under a different name for some reason but cheaper, a price and performance competitor for the R36S and its clones but with better build quality and controls and such.

I'm looking forward to the Anbernic Slide. Haven't bought a new emulation handheld in a couple of years, but this one is right up my alley (I love my PSP Go).

>>712643873 (OP)
get a RG35XX instead, you're gambling for a chance to get a fake R36S clone, unless it's tagged as legit seller, that is

How's a PSP for emulating old shit? Better than a O3DS at least?

>>712682936
Not really. Can't even do full speed SNES. I love my PSP, but not for emulation (outside of PS1, obviously).
