Cringe

The ones that provide a little more like those dual screen ones and the 4:3 screen ones are pretty neat.

i would love to buy the ayn thor but i just can't justify it. i already have two of these (one x86 and one android)

I have a miyoo mini.
$50, build quality is acceptable, and it plays everything up to snes/genesis/ds/ps1 which is the only good console games anyway.
Pros: Good battery, fits in pocket
Cons: can't play n64 games because no analog stick, could have spent double to get something else but meh I had an n64 as a kid and feel minimal nostaliga for it, and this has better modding support

Wait a second... Is that...?

>>723369423
Nope, not on a christian webtoons novel it isn't.

>>723369215
That's a man

>>723369812
Yes his name is Mario.

the steam deck is too cheap to not just get that second hand at this point
if you want something pocketable get a retroid pocket 5, it's just a Vita with modern phone specs on android

Miyoo guy here, just going to chime in I do have a Steamdeck, but it's just too big/heavy, chink shit is so small and light. If you don't actually plan on playing pc games, even steamdeck capable shit like valheim and tony hawk remakes, then a steamdeck is overkill.

I like horizontal form factors but only chink consoles that have those are too pricy.
Waiting a sub 100$ chink machine capable of emulating up to PS2/GC generation without any slowdown at least at x1 resolution.

>>723368252 (OP)
Just ordered a Retroid Pocket 5. What will I think of it, /vee/?

>>723368252 (OP)
They are fucking great if you care about emulation.
If you're one of those faggots that cries about emulation being stealing, you're going to hate them.
Simple as.

Great battery life, great screen, easy to set up, too.
Get a microfiber cloth because it does get hella smudges.

Waiting for Odin 3 Mini

Amazing I just got a miyoo mini plus and it runs up to PS1 and DS games flawlessly, would only be better with dual screen or analog sticks.

Steamdeck shills are retarded theres so many other good linux/windows/android based handhelds that can play indie games and emulation for cheaper.

Have a retroid pocket mini v2 coming in the mail, OLED screen capable of emulating PS2, Switch, Gamecube and moonlight streaming/android game apps for under 200 bucks and it can actually fit in your pocket

>>723372416
should get the pocket mini v2 instead of the 5 its just as strong with a better screen for retro gaming and more pocketable

>>723368252 (OP)
I have the RG40XXV, it's the perfect little machine given its price point. Been enjoying GBC/PS1 games lately.

The amount of SKUs out there and non-accessible (to normies) way of fiddling with the machine make it difficult for more people to get in on them but overall I like them. I'm not a fag looking to get 1:1 with the OG carts so these machines are good enough and have a place.

>>723372558
I imagine everyone who's buying these handhelds is doing it for emulation since native Android games mostly suck in comparison.

>>723372804
Was planning on playing some Wii and PS2 games in addition to the usuals on SNES and GBA, and I know a lot of those have native 16:9 support. Plus I got the black model, which is apparently the best model for hiding bezels.

>>723368252 (OP)
one thing I hate about chinkhelds is that there's hundreds of them. I've spent so much money on handhelds and modding them to play the same games thinking that this will be the optimal way of playing it.

>>723373249
Just buy one and stick with it for a year or two you sperg

>>723369976
The steam deck is a fuckhuge brick of a laptop with embedded controller
hardly qualifies as a "handheld"

>>723372582
I wonder if they'll stick to the Vida design.

>>723368252 (OP)
I have a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. Perfect for me and if I decide to upgrade, I'll get the Flip 2 or if Retroid makes a Pocket DS model. That or I might get an AYN Thor or Ayaneo DS.

>>723373249
>Muh optimal
Just grab one that is not obvious garbage for the consoles you want to play.
