Why the FUCK would you play games on a chinese piece of shit instead of just getting a switch like a normal person?

they're all made in china, anon.

>pay 500 euros for some overpriced piece of shit and turn you kid into a bing bing wahoo cultist
>or pay 10 quid for a knockoff
It's a stopgap until you teach him how to pirate, emulate and so on.

Switch 2 is shit and Nintendo is a fucking vile disgrace of a company that only is beloved by manchild NPC retards who think Nintendo is good because Mario is colorful.

Why the FUCK would you play games on a locked down piece of shit instead of just getting a handheld PC like an intelligent person?

>>714657312
Anon dont you understand! Nintendo made a silly funny cute video several years ago so they obviously are friendly <3

A Switch can't fit in my pocket or play Ridge Racer Type 4.

>>714657058 (OP)
I'm not a pedophile.

>>714657081
fpbp

I thought about getting an intermediate one just to play Pokemon hacks, fangames, game fan translations like the recent Sakura Wars, Fate/Extra CCC, classic SMT, FE and a few good indies.
But I can do in real hardware or my phone so it's kinda pointless. If my shitty country let me import batteries and I knew how to restore my old PSP, I could do everything except Saturn on it even. PPSSPP isn't perfect.

>>714657058 (OP)
There's somethign about emulator fags that makes them want to emulate on ANYTHING other then a regular PC. Its like those retards that try to put doom on everything despite never actually playing it

>>714657863
real hardware is worse than emulation handhelds at this point desu. by the time you've got a flashcart and a screenmod to make it usable you've spent twice as much just to play one console rather than a dozen.

>>714658154
They enjoy emulating on a piece of software they "own" and "control" what happens inside it. Hence Steam Deck is popular for emulating rather than Chinahelds for that crowd.

>>714657058 (OP)
this has better controls and wifi than a switch and plays every game up to and including the entire ps1 library for free.

>>714658154
Why wouldn't I want to emulate on things other than my PC, you terminal autist?

>>714658334
Any piece of hardware you can do more with is better. An LCD Deck still puts any chinkheld (even close to its pricepoint) to shame, unless you care too much about having something small.

>>714658257
Uhun, but I tried to play Fate/Extra CCC emulated and it looked like garbage on my phone screen, mainly 2D assets, I need to use 2x and shaders that make it laggy. I dunno if a cheap chink handheld would do better.
I tested with my real PSP on the charger and everything looked smooth and nice there.

so which of these handheld emulators is the best for emulation? is that Miyoo thing actually good?

>>714657058 (OP)
The Switch is made in Japan? That's news to me

>>714658625
most of them are good, what platforms do you plan to emulate

>>714658603
that's fair enough, you do have to pay attention to the screen on these chinkhelds if you care about good scaling

>>714657058 (OP)
i was gonna ask what the fuck does the switch have to do with a chinese handheld emulator but i just remembered the NSO emulators I find the chinese handhelds easier for portability I guess so they got that going for it

>>714658625
I would say AYN Odin 2 is the best choice so far for chinaheld.

>>714658783
SNES and GBA, mostly. Been playing Final Fantasy 6 Pixel Remaster on Switch but I can't stand playing it in handheld mode

If there's a handheld that can do PS1 emulation well, I'd love to pick it up cause I do plan on playing FF7 soon

>>714658991
Any of Anbernic's "XX" consoles will ace SNES, GBA and PSX emulation. They all use the same chip so just pick the one with the form factor and screen size you prefer.

>>714658625
The one and only

best one of these if I just want to hook it up to hdmi and use a controller?

Reminder that NSO don't have stuff like the MegaMan GB DX Collection and you need to play the garbage grayscale versions instead.

I just want an rg35xx+ with oled. I hate cheap loud clicky buttons, which retroid have a fucking fetish for

>>714658625
This is playing in reverse btw

>>714659243
A cheap laptop or PC. No point in buying a handheld if you're not gonna use it like a handheld.

>>714657058 (OP)
All of these emulation handhelds look like something youd win at chuck e cheese

>>714659348
And ports

>>714657058 (OP)
Why can't they just reverse engineer the GB micro? You don't need anything more than that

>>714659183
do u know if the vertical one that looks like a Gameboy can do PS1 emulation?

>>714659859
There's a lot of those, what's the name of the one you're talking about?

>>714658625
Some pointers:

Buy from chinks, dropshippers will scalp you.
Look for and value negative feedback first and foremost. Youtube reviews are nearly useless. Reddit is just a bunch of gay niggers acting like women about $40 electronics.
Treat each chinkheld individually, brands are completely unreliable.
If it's said to tops at PSP, N64, DC, it can't do those. These systems cannot be played proper under $150 (chink base price).
Always, ALWAYS be skeptical of good d-pad claims. Look for people who play real games and not babby's first five JRPG for feedback.
Charge exclusively with 5v dumb bricks, USB A to C cables, never leave them charging overnight or unattended.
Most of them suffer from audio interference (ie wifi noise), the h700 based line (number/titleXX) as a whole has audio popping on ramp up (boot, loading game, quitting game, etc), if you're autistic about this.
Sticks on verticals are useless. Until triple digits, sticks are cheap generic Switch ones, very mediocre accuracy.

There's only one chinkheld I know I'd recommend in good conscience as a 100% solid build, great buttons, no internal touch up required, pick up and play experience, but it's been discontinued and it's certainly not worth the second hand market prices.

>>714658991
Just about anything can do PS1, might want to avoid Miyoo Mini to get slightly faster fast-forwarding though.
Committing to GBA, the 34xx is pretty solid IF you're willing to tape the d-pad contacts in half, the unconventional button layout won't get in your way and you can live with 3.1" on 4:3 games. Pretty nice screen. Otherwise, anything 4:3 should be a safe bet, albeit some will have washed out screens.

>>714659243
These suck at consolizing, might as well pick up a cheap mini PC.

>>714659832
Micro is too fucking tiny.

>>714659895
this one but looking at the one on amazon and this pic, it looks like this one can do it

>>714660060
Well something like the micro, a bit bigger but not like the 2x4 in the OP

>>714657058 (OP)
I'm going to buy the hardware I want to buy and play the games I want to play on it.
Get fucked, walled-garden cuck.

>>714657193
Your dad taught you to emulate?

>>714659859
RG35XX, Miyoo Mini and TrimUI brick can all do PS1 emulation and are a very good platform for it.

>>714657058 (OP)
Because somehow despite being over 8 years old and going into a new ecosystem with backwards compatibility I still can't play classic Pokemon on Switch, or Smash Bros. 64, Wario Land 2 or Donkey Kong 64 to name a few. Their drip feeding service sucks ass and I'm tired of waiting.

>>714657193
>It's a stopgap until you teach him how to pirate, emulate and so on.
Bitch, you NEED some piracy knowledge to get some proper use out of these, outside setting up a custom firmware for some. Most of these ship with the flimsiest fake SD cards loaded of multiple versions of the same game to pad out the numbers without Mario/Pokemon/Sonic games these days and these fail within the month 90% of the time.
Bringing up your own stuff is the way to go with these.

>>714657058 (OP)
The switch is just a nintendo branded nvidia shield that isn't even good at running games that were designed for it.

>>714660060
the a30 here i deceptively cozy
28xx has bad button placement and size, should be higher

>>714657058 (OP)
I have switch vegan fatigue

>>714660060
I feel like big youtubers get polished review copies and small reviewers actually buy their shit so the flaws that will be present are there for much smaller youtube channels.

A modded switch can do quite a bit of emulation, but it's still not suitable. The PS1 emulator (Duckstation) can only be found randomly in some place without being properly updated and it's not amazingly intuitive.
I don't find chinkheld build quality to be reliable but for the asking price sometimes it's just expected. I just kinda dislike the shills because they don't often mention some of their stupid flaws.
Inside some drawer I have an RG350P and look, the screen is fucking amazing for GBA games, but that's what I would use it for: GBA games. The analog sticks are amazingly awful, with no way to properly calibrate them. Screen backlight leaks through its left side and you have to do some stupid tape mod, because as it turns out (and I tested it myself because I bought a replacement display), it's not just a display thing, it's just how it's built. And the d-pad is a mess that also needs to get modded.

>more switch 2 than the actual Switch 2

It seems too perfect.

>>714661227
What kind of a fucking aspect ratio is that, jesus christ

>>714660110
I have this one it does a decent bit of dreamcast and n64 (other than not having an analog stick)
Surprisingly ergonomic as well

>>714657058 (OP)
Those Chinese toys have more games since you can get any rom you want without renting

any chinkhelds that are like the sp? small, convenient, can play snes/advance games and won't break in six months?

>>714661563
I also have the 35 plus and it has been pretty good (I'm using muOS). I dunno if its just about using the wrong emulator core, but DKC1-3 on SNES lagged on few spots.

>>714661635
RG35XX, it's literally a GBA sp with 4:3 screen and 4 buttons. Just don't get the ugly revised one that adds sticks to the bottom

>>714657058 (OP)
Just buy gb300 for few bucks and you will be happy.

>>714661635
they released 3 similar to it actually.
And one similar to original GBA with more buttons.

>>714661541
I have a 4+ and I love it. All the GC and PS2 games I've tried run well and it's perfect for Steam Remote Play. The ergonomics suck though. I found it painful to play for more than 15 minutes, so I bought a grip and that fixed it. IDK if 5 is the same. Getting steam remote play to work without lag was also a bitch, but that was PC related.

>>714657058 (OP)
Is there a more obvious bait than appealing to "being a normal person" as a reason to do something? what a shit thread

>>714661473
>just never leave your house with a portable

>>714662220
Have you heard of a case?

>>714661051
Ended up liking the 28xx a lot, though I did have to pad the fucker's buttons so they'd stop rattling and it has that annoying static buildup on screen after charging that takes a few minutes to go away. D-pad's great. I get people who can't live with the button size though.

>>714661084
Not even, their review units are sometimes defective and they'll still do the whole script and act like it's no indicative of QA. It's a mix of shilling and sheer indiference for what they do end up analyzing for legitimacy, for example you'll never hear Anbernic get called out for releasing so many washed out screens in a row up to recently, when even fucking Powkiddy smokes the 35xxSP's colors.

>>714661635
>any chinkhelds that are like the sp? small, convenient, can play snes/advance games
Yea-
>and won't break in six months?
Kinda.

35xxSP is a 4:3, thicker and wider version of the SP
Miyoo Flip is also 4:3, but with sticks and much closer in size to the SP, but has very unreliable hinges. They're doing a 2.8" downsizing next but again, big question mark on the hinge.
34xxSP is a shameless clone of the Flip but with Anbernic hinges, 3:2 screen and 2GB of RAM.
v90s is a slightly cheaper version of the 35xxSP but with rubber membrane on contact buttons, more colorful screen, better speaker and no wifi or bt (I think?). Too early to judge its hinge.

>>714657058 (OP)
I'm honestly tempted with the Ayaneo pocket s2. Like it still has SD card slot, full usb C, so it will be compatible with Retroid's second screen addon. If i had a job or get lucky with the upcoming interviews i might buy it. Or maybe just a retroid 5 bundle with second screen.
>>714658625
Honestly it's hard to tell, because depends on the form factor you prefer, be it joystick lay our or horizonal, vertical form factor (so psp/psvita vs gameboy or those old tetris games from 1 dollar store) and what games you want to play on them.

>>714657193
that thing is only 10€?

>>714657058 (OP)
the psp is the best handheld with the gba at a close second

>>714665067
10 quid which is like, I don't know, 70€

>>714658625
Miyoo is too small only good for showing people how small it is.
To play anything until PS1 you can get a RG35XXX, pretty cheap around 40 euros and will play everything at 60fps, if you are willing to expend more for DS and PSP you are better getting a PSVITA and a 3DS

>>714665168
you got my hopes up

>>714659859
Yes, they use the same hardware

>>714665270
>RG35XXX
nta but those things are still too small for me, I tried one of those and it gets uncomfortable fast

>>714665284
I'd give away my RG351P but I don't meet with strangers

>>714665356
They released some months ago a new plus version that it's slightly bigger and also added two analogs, but for better ergonomics you should pick one with a PSP or Gameboy Advance design.

>>714666407
Your A55 is likely to be better than the cheaper handhelds of course, but you give up a little bit of convenience with it (having to set up a frontend, removing and attaching a controller, notifications and android bullshit getting in the way...). But I would recommend grabbing something more like a controller, like those EasySMX ones, instead of the Kishi, if you don't want a separate device.

>>714666398
Because Nostalgia is a big factor

>>714666387
Part of the reason I'm keeping my 35 over the 34 is I find the added thickness and wideness make it more comfortable. YMMV though, at the end of the day it's still a vertical with extra steps.

>>714666549
It's not bait. If you can't afford LESS THAN FOUR DOLLARS A MONTH to play old games maybe you have bigger problems than video games.

>>714666721
>PSP is over 20 years old

>>714666721
I guess it's more like emotional attachment at this point, it was like having smartphones before it was cool when it released.
I had a blast with my modded one with a bunch of emulators inside, from arcade to GBA and PSX.
You can even beat the majority of the MegaMan games on it.

The nice thing about chinkhelds is how good the battery life is and modern features like sleep if you get an android based one. It'll last for over 8 hours which is crazy compared to the switch where it's over 2-3 hours.

>>714666663
that first one is an SP damn.
yeah a lot of people seemed to complain when the 34XXSP is bigger than an actual GBA SP when it's just simply better.

>>714666813
>l-look, you can see some ghosting if you slow it down by 1000x and magnify it by 20000x!
Switch 2 has a fantastic screen.

>>714666678
>you HAVE to consume the subscriptionslop that hands you out a worse service than what one can achieve with a one-time solution or that says a lot about your character flaws
What this says to me instead is that you're content to being treated poorly, as long as you have your 'good goy' points balance on the positive side by knowing you're paying for it. Fine by me if that's what floats your boat, but I hope you're ready to wait another three months for the next four romfiles and two (2) special savestates around the corner.

Reminder that people playing downloaded ROMs on Chinese handhelds are breaking the law. The handhelds themselves were probably created by breaking intellectual property laws.

>>714666275

Actually surprised me on how sturdy it is. Decent weight, no creaking of any sort, buttons don't wobble and the buttons feel fine. Screen is beautiful as well (playing with LCD3X and the color correction.
>any problems playing the games?
Right now I'm playing nothing but GBA games on it (as the chinkgods intended) with muOS unofficial build.
>comfy for an hour or two?
I just played it straight for 6 hours. Hands definitely get cramped now and then but I have long skinny hands. Definitely get the 35XXSP if you want something meatier.

>>714667737
Good enough for GB emulation :^)

it's hilarious they gave it dual analog sticks while also giving it a screen that makes 4:3 systems total AIDS

>>714661541
Its price is high and switch is meh on it. People will complain that ps2 isnt perfect, but no device has perfect ps2. I don't play for hours upon hours, but if you do then you'd want to get grips for it.

>>714666721

mine still works great

Reminder that it's better to buy a retroid and use the extra power for shaders and battery life than to cheap out on the cheaper ones. Shaders make replaying old games gorgeous.

>>714668597
>Just spend $300 on an android to play SNES games
Why not get a Steam Deck at that point

>>714668750
you cant put a steam deck in your pocket whereas an android based handheld is still portable. Also steam deck is HEAVY.

>>714657058 (OP)
I don't want to give shittendo money.

>>714657058 (OP)
I bought many of these chinkhelds. They are ALL subpar in one or more categories. If you just want to emulate old games in your bed or anywhere else at home, just get a Steam Deck OLED. Better screen, better controls, better OS. Costs a lot more tho.

>>714669105
Steamdeck is like 400 euros. Chinkheld is 50 bucks.

>>714669204
If money is a problem, you should stop wasting it on chinkhelds in the first place. Play on your PC you already own or on your phone you already own.

Both are more powerful than any og these chinkhelds.

>>714668309
Could be worse. I like that screen a lot on my 34xx, the OG GBA clone, and didn't have much trouble adapting to 3.1" of 4:3 screen state. Still, if I ever got one of those I'd immediately remove the sticks.

>>714668779
You can't pocket a RP5 either, not unless you want a long bulge on your pocket which will strain and eventually break its removable stick caps and the sticks themselves.

>>714669285
Playing on phone feels like complete dogshit. You need to buy a controller/shell or whatever it is called, and now you already have spent almost as much as you would have for a chinkheld

>>714669105
I want a reasonably priced 3rd-5th gen handheld that fits in my pocket and doesn't weigh a ton so i can use it in my bed, on my couch or sitting under my favorite tree near the lake. Switch, Steamdeck or any of the handheld computers like Rog Ally don't fit that bill.

>>714668597
Reminder retroid covered some of the mini's screen with a bezel, fucking up scaling, because they wanted to advertise the mini as 4:3

>>714669372
>>714669384
Do whatever you want. After plowing through like 10 of these chinkhelds like me you will probably come to the same conclusion.

>>714669460
Yeah we'll see how it goes. I have the 35xx plus whatever and it has been nice. I've beaten DKC 1-3 and some NES stuff and it has been fine for that. I should have bought a real sdcard, but I gambled and just kept using the one they shipped it with

detached screen is far more comfortable for me so i play on laptop. sadly, its not as portable

>>714657058 (OP)
My RP5 can play anything from the NES to the PS2, some NGC games and even stream Steam games.
Why the fuck would I want to give money to Nintendo to rent 30 year old roms. Are you fucking retarded?

>>714666275
Those analogues comfy to use?

Instead of buying this Chinese crap that breaks in two months, I bought a Hori Split Pad Pro for the Switch 1. Later on, I might install a modchip and that's it, a handheld device to use for the next 10 years.
One thing to consider, however, is that even these shitty Chinese handhelds have considerably better screens than the Switch 2, and I'm not kidding.

>>714657058 (OP)
You can play retro games offline on a chink handheld. You can't on Switch 2

Why do emulation trannies keep trying to push their overpriced "hardware emulations" on everyone just like they try to push their fetish on everyone?

It depends on what you want to play and how much you want to spend. Also form factor, to some extent. A TrimUI Brick or MiyooMini Plus are in the $60~ range, and they can play everything up through PS1 very well. Where things get expensive is when you want to emulate N64, PS2, Gamecube...

>>714666564
I love my Go, but it's shit at emulating anything but PS1. I have an Anbernic Slide on the way, looking forward to that. It's bigger than a Go (though not really as giant as people say, it's basically the size of a n3DS XL, slightly smaller) but that's not entirely a bad thing.

>>714674073
It's for the PS1. Very few games made use of the Dual Shock on PS1, and only one game outright requires it.

>>714657058 (OP)
Because one costs £30 and the other costs £300

>>714676008
You're thinking of FPGAs. The handheld in the OP is a TrimUI Brick. It runs Linux and its purpose is to be a portable, low-power PC to run software emulators.

RP5 being slightly bigger than a psp just seems crazy to me. I'd expect a bigger handheld like the odin 2 to be more powerful.

any reason to get one of those when I already have an oled vita? Shit's the most premium console I've ever had, too bad about it's catalog tho

>>714677210
Well, the Vita is dogshit for emulation, so if you want to play anything other than PS1/PSP/Vita games, you probably shouldn't be playing it on the Vita.

>>714677210
OLED Vita is not only a decade old, we have OLED retro chinkhelds that can emulate everything up to the switch now with long battery lives and it's not too expensive either.

This is coming out in 2 months, combined with the retroid mini it might be the best solution for DS/3DS for the forseeable future. OLED screens too.

Any good Steam Deck alternatives that fit in a pocket?

>>714677861
Sturdy console with good grips and nice oled screens? Yeah that's the stuff. Ty anon I'll keep an eye on it.

I dunno, if you just want to use an emulation box why buy official hardware and go through the trouble of jailbreaking it instead of just buying a cheaper emulation box that works the way you want out of the box.

>>714677861
Can the retroid emulate ps vita? If so I might get this and sell my vita and 3ds

>>714677961
AYN Odin Mini 2

>>714677304
I think playing PSP on Vita is preferable seeing as you can avoid claw grip

Bought a retroid 5 a couple of days ago, close call against mini 2 but OLED is non-negotiable and better d-pad placement.
Absolutely better than that xbox heug deck garbage, but not playing windows games. Winulator not worth the trouble.

BOTW is boring as shit btw. Just play windwaker instead.

Vita unfortunately is a software and emulator issue, even on PC it isnt good enough yet but there are games that run well on it likes tales of hearts and muramasa. I wouldnt go and replace your vita for vita games just yet. However most of Vita's library is usually ported from elsewhere so you might be able to play those games with the switch emulator or the windows emulator at this point but you'd have to do research on the games because it's a case by case basis at this point.

*raughs in $99*

Objectively, yes. Though I find that I have more fun on my PSPs. They just feel better in the hand. Something about the Vita feels soulless.

>>714661635
If you want to play GBA games then the ideal handheld system would be Anbernic RG 34XX (original GBA) or Anbernic RG 34XXSP (SP). They have a 3:2 IPS panel (same aspect ratrio as the GBA) and a resolution of 720x480, which means that GBA games scale perfectly. If you want GBA games looking their best, this is the way to go.

>>714679936

Why not just use your phone, or buy a phone specifically to run RETROARCH on and nothing else for optimal performance/less distractions?
Retroarch with a light CRT filter is the peak, the screen is too small for your eyes to tell the difference between filter and real.
>hugely supported
>extremely easy to add roms to
>can use literally any controller recognized by the phone (PS4 pad with a cheap plastic attachment to hold the phone, knockoff switch-style phone controllers from amazon etc)

Want some cheap android phone recommendations for emulation?

>CMF Phone 1: Costs like £150-180 and can emulate up to gamecube games, though I had some slowdown on super monkey ball 2 thats probably game specific, obviously emulates 2D things flawlessly
>Older flagship phones from the last 3-5 years: Just get gaming/emulation benchmarks for older phones, if its just for emulation you don't need the latest google security patches so long as you can load retroarch onto it and then keep it offline you're fine.
>Any phone with a snapdragon 8 gen 3 processor: From what I can see this processor can emulate Zelda BoTW at 30fps, I can't see why you'd even want much more power than this on the go.


These specific emulation devices are close to pointless for most consumers, unless you are a dire hardcore enthusiast who needs arcade perfect or hardware call perfect emulation for something akin to speedrunning or competitive play.
It's cool that advances in hardware emulation are being made regardless, as its important to be able to re-produce the original stuff and proliferate knowledge.

>>714680078
Why would you tell someone to get the objectively ugly analog stick version instead of the rg35xxsp that actually looks like a gameboy sp with 2 extra buttons?

>>714661635
you probably just want a flash cart for your SP.

>>714680375
That is a 4:3 screen
Black borders on anything other than OLED (or VA) panels are gross

>>714658625
if you plan to emulate only up to the Dreamcast / PS1 / N64 i can recommend retroid pocket 2S for $80 - 100 if you can find one, they've actually gone up in cost a lot since they stopped producing them and it was pretty much the GOAT for handhelds under $100.
it has analog triggers, two sticks, gyro-aiming and is pretty good screen and build quality.

What's a Steamdeck? Is it similar to the Steam Deck?

I want a steam deck but I feel like it's too late in that device's lifecycle before a steam deck 2 comes. Just been waiting for it at this point.

>>714680574
the Pocket 4 cost's nearly double what i could buy a 2S for at the time and is still comparatively expensive here.
if you are wanting to play PS2 and above I probably wouldn't be going for a retroid anyway.
at that point you may as well just buy a steam deck or odin and get a really good oled screen with it for the extra $50 it's gonna cost you after shipping and import tax.

Being a switch fag when you can own a steam deck like an adult, and have a pocket sized emulator full of games from steam in your pocket. The entire XX line are linux handhelds which with portmaster lets you play pc games. You have no argument.

Too overkill. Mangmi Air X should be the next logical step from the RP2S for DC/PSP/N64 with a side of GC

>>714680673
Based. Retroids are the sophisticated man's emu device. It actually makes me wish there were more Android ports of proper games. Played through KOTOR 2 on my Pocket 2 and the experience was fucking perfect. Admittedly it's a little older port but a completely locked 60FPS is nice, and the battery life was fucking endless.

I wouldn't even need super modern games. Something like a FFX/X-2 remake would be perfect for the system.

>>714680489
anon... the retroid pocket 2S is discontinued...

>>714677109
It is a bit more more powerful than the RP5, but you're crazy if you expect Steam Deck-tier performances from a device (with a mobile GPU) that's about as big as a Switch lite.

Also, it's dumb to assume bigger=better.
Much of the Odin 2 is empty, you can see it with the transparent models. The form factor is specifically for people that want a slightly bigger than average chinkleld, but the components fit inside a much smaller shell.

The Odin 2 Mini is precisely that. An Odin 2 that's about as big as a RP5, slightly smaller even.

>>714681176

You forgot the tm, autist

>>714658625
Miyoo products were only good during Covid when all of this was still sort of a burgeoning industry. At this point they are actual e-waste and pointless to buy because for the same price you can get so much better and in the same form factor with better support in terms of firmware options. The new stuff they release is also generally worse than anything Anbernic is coming out with, the Miyoo Flip being the most recent example.

When it comes to Chinese handhelds you generally have three price ranges:
>$40-80
These play up to PS1 and even then they can only barely do some N64 games. Saturn and Dreamcast are out of their scope, DS games can be played but with issues and you're not playing later games (Especially DSi) without major frame drops, and PSP is about as bad as N64 with very select games barely staying stable at 1x.
The best things at this price range are Anbernic products like the RG36s, the RG35XX-H, the RG40XX-H, the RG34XX, the RG35XX-SP, and the RG34XX-SP (I don't like it but you might). There are also devices from TrimUI in the Brick and Smart Pro.
>$150~
These play up to Wii U and PS2 but PS2 is a coin flip what is stable or not and even then Wii and Wii U aren't great. They can dip their feet into very low end Switch at best and even that's a stretch with major drops and not that realistic.
The best things at this price range are the Retroid products like the RP2 to 5 or the Flip 2.
>$250+
You don't buy Chinese handhelds in this price range. You are wasting your money by not paying for a Steam Deck or other western handheld equivalent. The sole reason you buy a Chinese handheld in this price range is for the form factor as they tend to be slightly bigger than a Vita. The downsides are that their performance is worse than any western handheld PC, they are locked to Android which sucks ass for emulation on newer systems, you have worse RMA, warranties will not be honored, etc.
This price range is primarily dominated by the AYANEO brand.

>>714680454
>Can't play SNES at full speed

Because phone gaming is absolute shit and anyone who recommends it is delusional and not living reality.
>You are using your phone for other tasks such as getting texts, notifications, and so on. Unless you mute all of these and then unmute them when you're done playing games they will regularly be popping up during your gaming session.
>Phone attachments are fairly large and make the thing Switch-width at minimum. They also cost as much if not more than a lower end Chinese handheld. Gamesir controllers are the best bang for the buck in terms of price and quality and even they're anywhere from $40-100.
>Screen aspect ratio is terrible for basically any system so you will always have enormous black spaces horizontally.
>You will be using a phone's battery meaning not only are you actively draining your battery used for phone calls, texts, e-mails, notifications, and more, but gaming in general quickly wears down a phone battery and that includes emulation.
My current phone is from 2020 or 2021, I forget. If I play something as simple as PvZ2 or The Battle Cats on it I go from 100% to 20% in about two hours and this is a phone with a battery at 87% battery health. Phone gamers are delusional who don't use their phones for actual life and play them solely in their homes tethered to a wall.

>>714682996
Because false diagonals are prevalent in basically every Chinese handheld so you have to open the things up and tape the inner portions of each contact to prevent these issues. It's by far the worst on the RG34XX where out of the box the thing will be hitting diagonals hitting dead center on the direction at times. I have misclicked so many times on Super Mariomon it's insane because of that.
The RG35XX-H also has dome piercing issues where you need to get washers 3D printed to place on the silicone membranes of the buttons, and depending on rev 1 or 2 of the device you may need to do both the d-pad and buttons.

>>714683093
>he didn't preorder it or got it when it was on sale

China is making better tech than japan. In fact, been doing so for nearly 20 years already.

>emulation id always shitty, can't play any action or jump&run games because the frame timing is just so bad

Don't fall for the chink Jew like I did. Just emulate on your smartphone, it's a million times more powerful. And just use a normal controller. There are a million mounting solutions that can mount your smartphone to a controller

>>714683319
The emulators on Chinese handhelds are ones you download from the Google Play Store or as if you were on a Linux PC. They are not some special versions of the emulators, they are running off-the-shelf Android OS and Arch but with a custom frontend. There is no functional difference whatsoever.

>>714657058 (OP)

Because they see that it has thousands of games from their childhood and they want to buy it for $40. They don't understand why it has thousands of games on it.

You can literally hit straight right on the RG34XX d-pad and go down-right or up-right. This is the most well known issue of the device and even reviews outright tell you how bad it is.

This makes "just use your phone" an actual point of advice because it's not a telescopic controller. It also makes "just buy last year's flagship or repurpose your old phone and use that as a handheld" an actual point of advice.

Dpad looks like shit though

>OoT works fine.

I mostly cared about those. Maybe Hybrid Heaven because fucking nostalgia.

>>714681496
Retard rp4p is $150 and does ps2 very well

>>714686681
How did everyone forget top heavy setups feel bad is beyond me.

>>714686752
I don't know how Hybrid Heaven emulates but I'm guessing it's not one of the ultra light, just works on shit plugin settings games. People saying you need +$100 chinkhelds for reliable N64 are correct, but I'll give it a try anyway and let you know.

>>714686706
But does it feels like shit doe? I want a review to compare with other devices.
Remember the RP3+ and 2S, both looks the same but feels completely different.

>>714687136
>How did everyone forget top heavy setups feel bad is beyond me.
It's projected to weigh about the same as an average smartphone and adopted the handle system for this reason.

>>714687142
God the RP2S discontinuing is such a fucking shame, absolutely immaculate handheld. I ended up going over to an RP4P for a bigger and better handheld but the 2S is still my go-to for any time I'm out and about. I'm hopeful Mangmi Air X takes its throne and stays in production, they'll have the mandate of heaven if they do. Enough PS2 horsepower to play Kingdom Hearts 1 and that's all you need for under $100.

>>714683550
Damn you just reminded me of CGR
Wonder how that niggas doing

>>714667459
Retard, no cop on this planet is gonna arrest a guy playing Pikmin 2 on some random game device when there’s actual murderers, pedos or rapists to prioritize.

If anything, the people in charge of making the rom sites are more at risk of being in trouble then anyone actually downloading them, people pirate shit on a daily basis and nobody cares.

Seems to run fullspeed on external Mupen under Rice plugin, but there's no FPS counter so I'm unsure. No telling if effects are broken either, the splash screens at the start sure were scrambled. Ship of Harkinian 2 has the clock now, some minor hiccups on certain transitions until getting to clock town, otherwise seems to play fine. Tested on CubeXX (equal to anything running H700), if you're serious about N64 might want to spend more.

>>714680559
If you haven't figured it out yet, it's the alien trapped inside that's giving the device its form. If you free it the chinese ruse is dispelled, the handheld transforms back into to a pile of junk, and the alien returns to its home planet. ceiling light.

>>714660060
Wait I have the 34XX. What's wrong with the dpad. I've beaten some games on it.

Because getting 120% credit back on temu to pirate nintendo roms on chinkshit is COMFY

>>714687554
Exactly. All they have to do is supply units to emulator devs, like the nether one, so they can help squeeze out every bit of performance.

Not that anon but my dad and my uncle both taught me how to pirate and emulate at a young age. We would steal cable, pay-per-view matches, sell burned discs of movies, tv shows and soundtracks at the flea market, sell those 200 games in one controllers, all sorts of shit.

I remember my uncle selling the Half-Life 2 beta leak for $20 at the flea market six months before the game released it felt like real hackerman shit back in the day.

The attosecond my child becomes capable of learning I too will teach him, out of love.

He will own his games, and he will be happy.

>>714691253
Very fake diagonal prone, covering half the contacts (which incidentally makes it closer to the original GBA contacts) improved it a whole lot while still leaving diagonals easy to hit. I'll give the tape autist this one, he was right.

Phone + gamesaar is the best handheld and it isn’t close.
> b-b-but notifications
HAHAHA like you chinkheld faggots have friends calling you all day. The rest of us have a dnd switch
> b-b-but muh battery life
Two hours of your gba emulation wouldn’t even make my five year old iPhone break a sweat. Try spending more than $50 on an electronic. And if you’re playing more than an hour in the first place you need to get a life. You’re talking about fucking children’s games.
> b-b-but size
God help you if you play those ewaste toys in public.

>>714686681
That looks like hot garbage. Not surprising considering some silver spoon zoomer designed it.

>>714695889
iToddlers in shambles.

>>714657058 (OP)
I don’t know why you’d ever choose a chinkheld over a modded 3ds.

>>714695675
On-screen buttons are inferior thoughever.

>>714695443
Say whatever you will about Nintendo but they can design a really fucking good feeling button.

>>714695949
it looks like a ps vita which had godly controls

Recommend me some clam shell emu devices that can do ps2 & gamecube anons

Anything that has buttons on the sides of the display is gay.
Buttons on the bottom and screen on top is the only valid layout.

>>714697330
Well, you have the Retroid Flip 2 at like $230, then you have the Ayaneo Flip DS at $1200.

>>714658625
Odin2 is the thinkin man's choice. Perfectly optimized for what it is trying to be.
But its near $300, not a far cry from a Steam Deck LCD, but that's clearly not optimized for what it's trying to be.
If you have a competent gaming PC, I'd get an Odin 2 and play the classics.
If you don't have a competent gaming PC, still don't get a steam deck LCD and get the OLED instead.
Steam Deck LCD version is an okay early access machine but not worth the money when the OLED exists.

>>714697632
>Retroid Flip 2 at like $23
>charges you for a fucking lanyard
What the fuck

>>714661317
People who pick up a steam deck for emulation ALWAYS pick up a smaller more portable device.
ALWAYS

>>714668597
Why would you get a retroid when you can get an Odin 2?

>>714698069
Seems like a standard lanyard, just buy a generic one. Brand ad free, too.

>>714657058 (OP)
Cause the Chinese knock off is cheaper and lets me play (most) of my older retro games while my Steam Deck/PC lets me play everything else.

Also the RP5 OLED is a nice screen. Anyone here pre-order the second screen attachment? I don’t know how to feel about it since it seems kinda limited in what devices can attach to it and what it will do the battery life.

>>714699050
Yeah, you have to do it every single time you want to play games by going into your settings and their nested menus to do so.

>>714699115
Modern phones have a "do not disturb" button. You don't even need to get to the settings in order to turn everything off.

>>714698914
I think the dual screen attachment only really makes sense for 3DS emulation, most 3DS games aren't touch-heavy (or use touch at all). It's a capacitive touchscreen like modern smartphones and not a resistive one like the DS family so it's gonna be fucking dogshit for that kind of touch input. Until the day we get a plastic nibbed stylus and a slightly sunk-in screen again, comfortable touchscreen games are fantasy

>>714698624
I just think its strange that's not a pack in

>>714699981
The only chinkheld I bought which came with one is the rg34xx and I'm not sure why
I appreciate it but I don't know why that one

>>714658625
It all depends on what you plan to emulate.

Just bought a Miyoo Mini Plus on FB marketplace for $20 and it's been really good for handheld stuff. Gameboy, GBA, Game Gear, and so on. Playing NES/SNES works just fine, it just feels a bit off since those games usually warrant a bigger display or a larger control layout (like wall jumping in Super Metroid is really hard on this thing).

It can handle anything up to about PS1 era, but in the Gameboy form factor, some games feel worse. Battery life is really good, plus with the Miyoo devices, you generally can replace the battery without having to open the thing and solder wires together. (depends on model)

>>714699057
i own a few chinkshit handhelds and a switch 2, why do you only need to pick 1?

>>714701154
Why would you have multiple if one does everything you need?
Why spend more when you can... spend less?
I have an anbernic chinkheld, a Switch and a Deck. I don't use all three, I just use one, the better one. The Switch is now gathering dust, and I don't even know where my chinkheld went to be quite honest. It's somewhere I guess.

Retroid Pocket 5 is all you need

>>714661227
Very impressive for a knock off

If I had to buy one now and would want to settle for PS1, N64 and some Dreamcast games at the most I'd get a Vortex F5:

would be better with a proper dpad

>>714666468
I have Switch online purely to play multiplayer games, I don't bother to play old games on it at all. That's what emulators are for.

Should have been a given since they're known to refuse RMAs or delay you for ridiculous reasons on any sort of warranty. It's why you go through AliExpress for everything, never the direct stores.
