Thread 713433934

I bought a chinese handheld, it arrives next week.
This is going to be amazing.

>>713433934 (OP)
Isn't that illegal to own?

>>713433934 (OP)
reported. have fun in jail you freak

More like you spend 5 hours setting it up, then tweak it your setup every week for about an hour, install some box art, change system settings, see which systems can run with shaders, run into an error with Retroarch saving settings, play 5 minutes of SNES Mario Kart, try a different theme, install a new UI, buy a new handheld with analog sticks.

Roms are illegal. Most chinese companies sell those with roms installed so OP is probably breaking the law.

Horizontal is way more comfortable

>>713433934 (OP)
I love my changhelds, but personally Id recommend something bigger.
And maybe something with a horizontal layout.
All for ergonomics sake.

>>713434196
I have completed around 40 GBA and SNES games on mine

>>713433934 (OP)
The original gameboy has never been beaten in ergonomics. It's the perfect thickness and the buttons are the perfect size to be comfortable to hold and use for hours on end. I don't understand why nobody has tried to replicate it in the modern era. Every other handheld I've ever used makes your hands cramp up after less than an hour of use, including everything Nintendo has made since the original gameboy.

Is the Gameboy screen smaller than the Gameboy Sp? Even compared to the ds that screen was tiny

enjoy son

>>713436076
The screen size is exactly how big it needs to be for the games designed for it. The sprites in gameboy games were huge because they were meant to be seen on a tiny screen.

I ordered the Anbernic Slide, no telling how long it will take to arrive though.

>>713435715
I wish I still had mine. Brother stole half of my gaming shit.

>>713435715
Because it's a large brick with only 2 buttons

>>713436429
what's the point of a slider in a dedicated handheld? are you ever going to use it without the gamepad? does it have a touch screen?
it feels like a clamshell just makes more sense. at least it protects the screen

>>713436429
It looks too big and heavy

>>713436573
That's what makes it so ergonomic. If you want 4 buttons you're going to have to make a handheld even bigger than the gameboy if you want it to be comfortable to hold and not cramp up your hands.

Enjoy your shitty plastic toy.

>>713436624
It does have a touch screen. The point is that I like the slide, it's cool. I love my PSP Go. Also, I would never put an unprotected handheld in my pocket, all of my handhelds have cases to protect them, so a clamshell is pointless.

>>713436784
I got a metal toy though

luv me flip 2

>>713437114
So much Empty space

>>713437114
I bought this, but I'm really beginning to hate Android. It's way too touch screen centric.

>>713437197
the center part can get really hot I understand why they didnt put much stuff there.
but the buttons couldve been bigger. d-pad and analogs are great as they are.

>>713437204
install a frontend like daijisho. then it kinda works like the ps3 menu.

>>713437358
this doesn't really help when emulators like aethersx2 can't be navigated using the controller

>>713437482
thats up to the emulator devs and can be shitty, yeah.
I set up as much as I could from my PC remotely with anydesk and now I just boot into the games from the frontend.
overall setup across all emulators was actually demonic but now its all fine.

>>713433934 (OP)
Got these some months back. They became my favorite way to play SHMUPs and Super Metroid.
I'm not a fan of the Pandora Box in the machine on thw right, so I'll eventually replace it with a Raspberry Pi, since the case is nice and spaceous.

>>713434004
>>713434752
You can get many of these devices without a game card. That's what I did when I bought mine.

>>713437114
how's the screen

>>713437776
screen is great. 1080p AMOLED.
sound out of box is meh but can be improved with some software.

>>713437776
it's 1080p and oled so it looks very good. best screen I've used on a handheld

I bought a 35xxsp

>>713436429

Why

>>713438697
loved my ambernig sp.
replaced it with the flip2 by now but in the category of up to PS1 its very cool.

be sure to install a custom firmware on it.

>>713438814
It's coming from China via a courier that I've never heard of, with no expected delivery date given. Sounds like three weeks is pretty typical for orders coming from Anbernic directly.
