Did you buy the Sony Xperia Play /v/?

>>723358226 (OP)
Yeah, and had onlive on it. I played batman ac.

No, but I did want one. I thought it was a really cool idea.

Who's Eric's son?

>>723358226 (OP)
No, but I bought the successor.

>>723358226 (OP)
yes and even though it became incredibly obsolete i used it up until like 2019 like a good autistic boy

>>723358226 (OP)
How did you know? We've never met, but you know i had one a long time ago...... very mysterious... but not really. I've tried to live a normal life, but life didn't want me. What's your excuse

>>723359318
And why do you haunt me so?

>>723359375
Well?

>>723358226 (OP)
I will absolutely buy a new one if it comes out.

My Brother had one of these. I used it for a bit. Seemed nice. Nut i had an iPhone, and I could also run PS1 games through emulation on it via retroarch.

Why? So you can play the zero amount of games sony has?

I bought one used off of ebay around 2014 or so. Used it to play NES and SNES RPGs while riding the bus and waiting for class to start. I loaded Twisted Metal 2 and Resident Evil 3 into the built-in PS1 emulator that came with it, but RE3 didn't work and Twisted Metal 2 was practically unplayable with the shitty controls. Eventually the slider started developing issues and I shoved it into a drawer somewhere.
It would be a lot better if the actual game controls weren't total crap. D-Pad sucks ass, buttons suck ass, the shoulder buttons are beyond horrible, and the two pads that are supposed to act as analog stick replacements are garbage.

just waiting on mcon

this thing was so satisfying to flip in and out.

>>723358226 (OP)
Yeah, it was really good for emulating PS1 and Nintendo 64 games on it, but an attachable controller with analog sticks and R2/L2/R3/L3 would be better, now.

*predecessor
PSP Go was 2009, Xperia Play was 2011

>>723358226 (OP)
This would be better.

>>723358226 (OP)
I would love a little controller like that for my phone. Not a big fan of using console controllers with bluetooth

Sony

What consoles can I emulate with my phone?

>>723358226 (OP)
No, I had a hacked Nexus One at the time. I already had a PSP.

>>723362062
Up to Switch.

Clamshell really is the superior way to design a handheld.

>>723358226 (OP)
I had one, maybe I should dig it up again and see if it still works. I fear that the battery may be fucked though.

Such a shame that not a single phone company ever tried this again in the current year.

So now that the patents have expired, are there any companies making new phones like the Xperia play?

>>723358226 (OP)
Yes I did actually. It was my first time playing crash bandicoot and it was terrible

>>723358226 (OP)
For me, it was in July of 1995. I was 12!

Nobody asked.. oldfag.

Razer bit the dust on the phone industry in a span of 3 years. I doubt anyone would try these days.

>>723367974
Anbernic made a handheld but it sucks. Also it's not really a phone.

>>723367974
No doubt Asus. They had shown a prototype around 2019

>>723358226 (OP)
i loved playing pokemon emerald and minecraft pocket edition on this thing
it also came preloaded with a ps1 emulator and crash
i should see if i still have it sitting somewhere

>>723363260
What can you play on that shit?
