Does anyone has one of these? Is it worth it?

Save your money. Donate to charity

if you were a true nintendo fan you would buy an actual gba instead of this

>>716451447 (OP)
Just buy a ds and you can play ds and advanced games

>>716451447 (OP)
what is it? I would love to hijack this thread to be spoonfed the latest out of the chinkheld market because I have been out of the loop and don't even no where to look anymore. I have a steamdeck but I wouldn't mind something actually portable to fuck around with especially if it apes old fun designs like OP

>>716451447 (OP)
>Does anyone has one of these?
No
>Is it worth it?
Idk

It's impressive that n64 emulation is so trash still

>>716451447 (OP)
Yes I have one, but I'm not going to tell you.

Honestly, that layout is what the GBA should've been. It would've made all those snes ports much more bearable to play

>>716451447 (OP)
it's fine for a one-off. just don't turn buying $40 handhelds into a personality.

>>716451447 (OP)
Yes, no

>>716451669
I don't get why people buy such when emulators are a thing and you're either typing on a computer or you could play nearly any game on a phone you already have.

It's like 50 bux and you get an sp that can play ps1 games. I liked it for traveling and playing in bed.

I've got an RG 406H which plays up to GCN/PS2 comfortably with some light weight Switch.

>>716451776
Dedicated device has a nice form factor and also saves phone battery.

>>716451447 (OP)
I do, yeah. It's worth it for short bursts of the games you'd play on it. Personally, outside of the clamshell I'd get something else as I don't like the loud, flat buttons but if you're into clamshells, this or the 34xx are good options

>>716451542
There's a handheld general on /vr/.

>>716451447 (OP)
sure
It's mostly a pokemon machine I play on the shitter right now, but I've played some other old GBA games and it works fine
Watch a video and swap the os, the stock one is kinda shit

>>716451447 (OP)
>GBA SP clone
>screen isn't 3:2

>>716451447 (OP)
If you have a phone, it's likely better for you to just buy a USB-C controller. Although I'd buy one of those SP or GBC clones with sticks if said sticks had full range and we had the option to swap the face buttons out with playstation ones.

>>716451542
It's a retroarch emulation device with a form factor of a gbasp

>>716451980
But you already have a spare phone battery charger don't you? And I have those clip on joycon style controllers for my phone and I can play mobile crap with them too.

>>716451447 (OP)
It was an upgrade to the original GBA in every way.

>>716452173
Now I feel retarded. That's not a Gameboy SP at all. Looks cool

>>716452140
The market these devices are targeted at generally don't like playing games on their phone

>>716451447 (OP)
It's a nice little device and the software's pretty capable, but the durability is a big flaw.
I was literally just using mine an hour ago to play some Aria of Sorrow, and the face buttons have sunken in from the shitloads of Super Metroid randomizers I've played on the thing.
Whilst people complain about the loud clicky buttons, the real problem is they wear down too quickly and you need to mod it to prevent that from happening. I need to take a look at repairing the buttons on mine because I genuinely like using this thing for SNES, GBA, and PS1 games.

There's a similar successor model, the RG34XXSP that features a 720x480 display that shows GBA games perfectly, but looks a bit smaller overall for anything else you might play on it. It also has analogue sticks but in the worst position, but they're there if you actually need them.
It hasn't been available for as long and I'm curious if it has the same button wearing flaw, the purple one looks dope.

>>716452106
The sequel to it, the 34XXSP has it but people aren't fans of the dual sticks and poor screen placement. You can also add an overlay while adjusting pixels to fix the aspect ratio issue.

Got my Anbernic SP a few weeks ago. I've beaten Super Metroid, Circle of the Moon and Zero Mission. Going to alternate Castevania and Metroid until I get to Dread on my Steam Deck. I also started. Also, Pokemon sucks but it activates deep nostalgia to play Crystal and Emerald on an SP.

>>716452491
You should play Crystal Advance rom hack. It fully converts Crystal into GBA world and is pretty awesome. There's also a SwSh GBA demake out there too.

>>716452590
I've been researching romhacks. I'll try it out.

>>716451447 (OP)
>GBA SP form factor
>4 face buttons
soulless

>>716451447 (OP)
It's okay. Buttons are a bit stiff, screen is rather washed out, the novelty makes up for it. I'd get a 34xxSP at this point for the screen alone, I got the 34xx and the colors are waaaaay better.

>>716452325
>It hasn't been available for as long and I'm curious if it has the same button wearing flaw, the purple one looks dope.
The thing seems to have flopped comparatively looking at feedback and discussions. Might grab one once it hits $40.

>>716451447 (OP)
Get a horizontal one

>>716452325
Also, I recall hearing the purple is painted like the 35's silver, so you might want to avoid it.

>>716451505
Local food bank or animal shelter instead Charity's are a scam better for something local

>>716451447 (OP)
>Does anyone has

>>716451447 (OP)
they are never worth it for the price

>>716451820
Nvidia could already make ps5 portables but we aren't allowed nice toys.

you own a phone right?

>>716453381
Yeah, if you're willing to upscale from 360p and hallucinate 80% of the frames.

>>716451447 (OP)
no just get a xperia play

>>716452140
If it were about the convenience, they wouldn't stealing Nintendo and Sega's old designs.

>>716453631
No clamshell no buy. When does the steamdeck clammy come out?

>>716451776
>I don't get why other people don't live the exact same lifestyle as me of sitting on my ass in my computer all day every single day

It's OK. If you use any alternative OSes (which you will want to because Anbernic's stock OSes are always flaming dogshit) you'll have to set up that GBA SP logo bezel on your own with Retroarch overlays.

Also it's built really retardedly. The battery is used as a heatsink. Use at your own peril, or pursue a different handheld.
>>716453441
>>716453631
Buy an MCON you shameless twats.

>>716454264
NTA, but bro. You omitted half his statement for your argument. You took a bad L and buried yourself.

>>716454384
What OS has you set up the SP bezel manually? muOS has it by default and I think Knulli does too. Also, it's thicker precisely to give the chip sizeable breathing room from the battery, unlike the Miyoo Flip and the 34xxSP.

>>716455028
Knulli does not do it, I had to find and install that myself.

I'm waiting for this one. Looks pretty decent and can be played vertically too.

>>716451447 (OP)
>Places lithium battery right on top of the CPU
For what purpose?

>>716451447 (OP)
great for nec pc ero-warez

>>716455282
MANGMI AIR X if you can get your hands on it for a good price. $70 Chinese MSRP for something somewhere around a Retroid Pocket 2S or even a Pocket 4.

>>716455612
It doesn't though, that's the other one.

>>716455753

Seems like it's over 100 on aliexpress. I think I'll wait for the magicx to see which is I like more.

I have a TrimUI Smart Pro already, but it can't do 32bit PC games via Portmaster...

I've got one. I love this lil' thing.
battery life is great. The emulators work great (if you use MuOS. they take too long to load otherwise)
Portmaster is great for playing certain PC games.
It's got more features I haven't even started using, like streaming from a PC, a linux terminal, a rudimentary web browser (with cursor keyboard, and the worst mouse controls ever, but still.)

>>716457003
love my r36s
paid $20 burger bucks, did heatsink mod for less than $2, been playing binding of isaac and diablo 1 on it lately but I beat half life 2 on it not long ago.
also have balatro and a ton of other ports.
also plays shit like psp crisis core without a problem.

shit is fire.

>>716451447 (OP)
I have the RG Slide. I just loaded up some Dreamcast games, they seem to run well. PS2 games are iffy, some work fine others not so much.
