Somebody stop me from buying this fucking Anbernic RG35XX RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!!!!

very organic thread

The Plus is completely average. You can do better, but for its price, it's fine.

>>718635273
Careful. You'll get a 3 day ban for racism with that rhetoric.

>>718635380
Do you recommend anything better at the same price range?

>>718635380
I bought this. And I have been having a blast to be honest.
>b-but the rg34xxsp is better!
Screen size sucks ass.

>>718635246 (OP)
>cant play all 4 n64 games full speed
>cant do anything beyond ps1

>>718635246 (OP)
I have this. I like it, played through a few games on it. There's better options out there now though. Go watch Retro Game Corps on YT to find the chinkheld for you.

Buy a telescopic controller for your phone instead. There's extremely solid choices with hall effect sticks and triggers starting from like 40 bucks from GAME SAAAAR and 8bitdo.
Unless you're an iToddler in which case get fucked.

>>718635923
Depends. Here's my recommendations:

* Anbernic 40XXH (or CubeXX if you want 3:2)
* Trimui Smart Pro
* Anbernic 35XXSP/Miyoo Flip V2 (for flippan)

>>718636116
ive seen several pics of the hinge on that thing breaking, doesnt seem to be built well

>>718635923
Also go to the /vr/ general for more advice

>>718636590
Just happens to the transparent models. Did my homework before buying thankfully.

>>718636507
i dont have a phone

>>718636116
>Screen size sucks ass.
Well worth the colors, owning both it and the 34xx. I suspect it being smaller would kill my hands though.

I boughted it

>>718635246 (OP)
don't you have phones?

>>718636849
>you have to be 18 to post here

>>718637559
Why would you play a game on your phone

>>718635246 (OP)
Battery explosions

>>718635246 (OP)
N64 & dreamcast are a bit wonky but play fine
Smash remix is unplayable though...

>>718635246 (OP)
That'll be good to play on public transportation or when you're in the back seat of your mom's car on the way to Chuck E. Cheese.

Ni hao gweilos

>>718636116
Thinking about getting this or the 34XX, anyone know which one would be better?

>>718635246 (OP)
*blocks your path*

>>718641361
that a million times, get the glacier blue tho

does anyone use this? its retroid pocket classic, thinking of getting one because the other gameboy shaped ones look too small. is it any good? I'd only be playing gb-gba, snes, and maybe ps1

Buy an ad tranny

>>718641638
It's very good but just remember it
>can't dock
>has no sticks so PS2/GC power is wasted on it

Other than that its a fantastic DC/PS1/3DS machine.

>>718641893
>DC
Most DC games used the stick. They also used triggers. Unless there's buttons on the back, that discounts early PSX stuff as well as SNES and 6 button Genesis stuff.

>>718641893
>>has no sticks so PS2/GC power is wasted on it
can controllers connect to it? i prob wont play those too often if at all anyway

>>718642006
>Most DC games used the stick
Which can be assigned to the D-pad
>Unless there's buttons on the back
There is.
>that discounts early PSX stuff as well as SNES and 6 button Genesis stuff.
Nigga look at the pic you're replying to.

>>718642243
No.

>>718635246 (OP)
I totally get the appeal of a neat looking device purpose-built for handheld emulation, but it's pretty wasteful and reddit consoomerist to buy a whole new device just for emulation. >>718636507 is right, even though Gamesir has a stupid ass name, their controllers are pretty competently made for their prices. If you're a normal adult, you have a phone with a display and hardware that are more than good enough for emulation. My S24 can handle NGC no problem and the Galileo G8 Plus has been pretty solid besides not connecting to my obscure Lenovo tablet.

>>718641536
What's this though and does it come with a stylus? That would beat phone emulation easily

>>718642006
Correcting myself. There are 4 triggers on the back.
>>718642243
It uses Android, so it may work with random pads. I used a Gamesaar random pad and a Series X pad on my tablet before.

>>718635246 (OP)
Do not do it dude, that shit is so ugly, cheap and most importantly, unergonomic. You will hate yourself if you actually play twin stick games. If you insist on this form factor just get one without sticks or get a more capable horizontal handheld. Yes vertical handhelds have a nostalgic quality but they are strictly less comfortable and good only for short sessions

>>718642438
Phones are for work and networking, games have no place taking up your battery/storage with all those hundreds of gigs worth ROMs. They're not designed for portable gaming and chinkhelds are the ONLY answer.

>>718642565
There aren't 10 gigs worth of retro games worth playing in the whole wide world pal

>>718642510
The thing is it's not too expensive. Something like $40 and I'm not looking to substitute it for an RP5 (which I'm planning on buying on Black Friday). I'm just looking for something cheap and neat looking to pass the time until I get that RP5.

That being said if there any more capable devices around the same price range that are vertical I would love to hear your recs. I've heard of the R36S which is even cheaper but idk it sounds kinda scammy, I'm still waiting on my next paycheque to make my choice.

>>718642646
I could probably list 100 PS2 games I love with all my heart that I would love to carry around on the go. Each PS2 games is at least 4gb large, do the math my friend.

>>718641893
>3DS machine
how does that even work? is there a button to swap between screens or what? if the screens split to share them theyd be way too small

>>718642809
>Something like $40
Actually $80 CAD monopoly money and with shipping kek. Definitely looking for a better alternative.

>>718642438
>What's this though and does it come with a stylus?
AYN Thor, one of two upcoming DS clone devices running Android.

>>718642565
These things are kneecapped phones anyways anon. If you're that adamant you can buy a phone exclusively for emulation.
The Odin 2 is the highest end of chinky retro handhelds and for the same 350 bucks it costs you can get a Poco F7 with a snapdragon 8 gen 4 processor that's 2 gens newer, 12gb of ram and a controller.
These handhelds fail to keep up with phones.

>>718642906
Depending on the game (top screen priority), 3DS emulation actually looks even more accurate than DS emulation on it thanks to its wider aspect ratio. It actually looks pretty good.

>>718643056
if thats touch screen why doesnt the ps2 emulator just add on-screen controls for the sticks or something

thats cool though. i cant think of any ds or 3ds games i might wanna play but its good to keep in mind.
prob will get one, too bad they dont have it in this color.

Do any of these chink devices emulate 3ds decently? or ps2 is as far as they go? if that's the case then I don't really care since I can emulate almost everything I want in my smartphone

>>718642961
>Odin 2
Too large.

RP5 or Odin 2 Mini are the perfect things in the market right now and they're perfectly priced below their garbage smartphone counterparts.

Actually as a gamer wouldn't you rather have a dedicated gaming device that can do phone things, rather than the complete opposite? Think about that anon.

>>718643358
Double screen chinky handhelds is gonna be the new meta. That's the thing they will excel at because you can't play that on your phone.
For anything else assuming you got a phone in the last couple years and isn't dogshit like the Samsung A line of phone whatever you got is probably better than most handhelds out there.

>>718643453
>Actually as a gamer wouldn't you rather have a dedicated gaming device that can do phone things, rather than the complete opposite? Think about that anon.
That's straight up reddit consoomer speak. I got a computer in my pocket good enough to emulate Burnout 3 Takedown at 4x scaling and that's all I need. I'm not going to spend 300 bucks on a device to do something I can already do.

>>718643358
If you want a 3DS chinkheld go ahead and beta test the upcoming Ayn Thor for $319. It's actually looking pretty good as a 3DS successor and has dual AMOLED displays.

>>718636116
>>b-but the rg34xxsp is better!
>Screen size sucks ass.

My issue with it isn't the screen so much as the thumbsticks are in such an awful position that they might as well not exist since if you try to use them your hands will be cramping in seconds with their placement.

>>718636116
>Screen size sucks ass.
based. Any game boy game just uses overlays to make it nostalgic if necessary, and then you have the added bonus of running all other consoles at full screen if you like. I own a transparent red one.

>>718635246 (OP)
buy a rope

>>718643647
Ideally I'd like something with this form factor that is below $100. As long as it plays up to PSP/DS I'd be fine.

>>718643958
>Ideally I'd like something with this form factor that is below $100
I think you'll have to wait a decade for that unfortunately

>>718643647
Let's be honest. Those hinges are going to break.

>>718636116
How's the build quality compared to the GBA SP?

i'm gonna get an Odin 2 pretty soon. on the expensive side, but will play all the shit i want on-the-go and is actually portable/fun to hold.

>>718636116
It's the same screen size

>>718642438
Phones are loaded with appslop, siphon battery and aren't as responsive

>>718644789
Odin 2 is not portable. You're not carrying that thing around in your pocket.

Odin 2 Mini however, is totally portable and definitely the smarter choice.

>>718645393
>pocket
uh, no, lol. i'd put it in my sling bag or something. why the fuck would i carry a console in my pockets like a dumbo

>>718645393
I don't care about pocket portability. I have a bag and a car

vertical form factor is really bad for lower stick placement

If you want something from Retroid, the 4 Pro, 5, Flip 2, and Mini 2 are the best choices.

>>718642438
No stylus. These chinkhelds are just repurposed phone screens stuffed into controllers.

>>718645527
>>718645656 (whichever one you are)
>i dont care about portability
>>718644789
>i want something portable


hmmmmm

>>718645208
34xx is the one with the shit screen, all it's good for specifically are gba games

35xx screen actually scales all other consoles properly

>>718645784
Flip 2 hinge is apparently cracking for people. Not a good product.

>>718645375
My phone does just fine, both performance-wise and battery-wise. Have you even tried it before?

>>718646120
The 34xx actually has a much better screen than the 35xx, its just specifically sized for the gba and nothing else. 34xx is better for consoles, but the screen isn't as sharp and more blown out

>>718646515
I'm not a pig third worlder so I can actually afford a phone a chinkheld and can separate the two without mixing in all my slop together.

>>718646808
So your phone is a low-end piece of shit and you bought the redditheld to make up for it?

>>718647461
I have an S25 what now nigger I'm posting on it right now

This thing PROBABLY costs more than anything in your name hahahahahahahah thirdie NIGGER

>>718644525
Inferior by like 15%. It's durable but you must take care of it you don't throw it too hard onto de ground.

>>718648135

>PS Vita 2
Buy.

>>718641361
RG34XX is 1:1 a GBA. If you like how a GBA feels to hold it's great, just note that L and R are not clicky like the OG but a long squish. The downside is that you will have to open up the system and apply tape on the d-pad contacts because it is easily the worst d-pad I have ever used in my entire life and false diagonals when looking at it at all.

>>718635246 (OP)
Get an Ayn Odin 2 instead, you will never need another chinese held I'm sure of it.

Baki's logic btw, not mine.

These thing's batteries are 100% going to explode into a raging unextinguishable inferno in a few years.

>>718635246 (OP)
you only want it to be a consumer
you'll get bored before finishing any games
why aren't you just emulating on your phone for free?

>>718635246 (OP)
>explodes

>>718645393
Yeah, but you're algo getting a worse screen and worse battery.

>>718635246 (OP)
Anon, that form factor isn't comfortable, especially for games that require you to use the stick, just get a horizontal shaped one.

>>718635246 (OP)
i have a r36s, works fine, but my n2dsxl can do more.
