Sex havers which chinkheld do you recommend?

>>11809673
Powkiddy v90s is a heap o' fun, once you get past the initial setup
>inb4 Miyoo Mini Plus

Anyone interested in this one? I've never owned any of these emulation handhelds but this one looks cool. I always liked how the PSP Go looked even though I never owned any PSP models either. I just want something to play some emulated games on the go.

Genuinely considering a trimui brick, maybe. Anything I can do to prevent it from burning my house down, though?

>>11809686
>massively thicc and chunky destroying the 2000s vibe
>cheap 3D-print tier shell
pass

>>11809696
NextUI should supposedly help with that, having to ALWAYS put it to sleep sounds kinda fucked up though, I'd probably forget and shut it down one day. I wish there was ONE all-around solid device without any catch

Want something that doesnt have to play further than snes/megadrive/gba but with really good battery and quality made so it won't stop working in a couple years

What's my best bet?

>>11809754
>won’t stop working in a couple of years
I feel like nobody uses these chinkhelds for longer than a year, either they just break down eventually or people just get tired of them and look for an upgrade, whether it’s in terms of power, screen or ergonomics. That said, trimui smart pro has a pretty big battery and seems to be popular, might be a bit overkill for GBA/SNES though

>>11809754
>something that doesn't have to play further than snes/megadrive/gba
luckily that's pretty much everything now except for the cheap X series
>really good battery
if you're looking for something with a high capacity the Powkiddy V20 has a 5000mAh battery so if you set all the systems to power save you'll be laughing
>quality made so it won't stop working in a couple years
that's a rough one - we don't really know which handhelds will last long term, and I have a lot of doubts over the eMMC's and other components used for some of these

metal brick announced
of all the metal variants this one i actually kinda want

https://youtu.be/j1pwm5QnTjc

Will Max respond to this stupid foreigner and make a NDS XX out of spite?

>>11809798
they are hideous.
the only decent is the black one, but it's boring.
and watch them costing double or triple while having the exact same hardware and performance as the prettier plastic ones.

>>11809826
>watch them costing double or triple while having the exact same hardware and performance as the prettier plastic ones.
no... shit?

>>11809831
i mean, anbernig metal models always have something extra to make them worth.
>rg350m has 640x480 screen instad of 320x240
>rg351m has built-in wifi while the p model needs a dongle

>>11809754
RP Classic clear winner if you enjoy vertical

>>11809825
Max posted that ai dual screen clamcel for a reason. It will take time, but accodring to chink channels, dual screen anbernig is coming

>>11809839
>always have something extra
i'll give you those i guess but they have to be 3+ years old at this point and i dont recall any recent ones, anbernig isn't even close to the same company they were then
cant think of anyone else doing that (analogue, retroid, who else) so i dont know why that would be at all expected

>>11809870
i would expect it from trimui.
they only have a handful of well put together devices instead of legions of crappy ones.
but to be fair, we only know that there will be a metal version of the brick and nothing else. maybe they will add something extra, but don't know what it could be. a beefier cpu would be nice.

>>11809882
you're a unique one, i'll give you that too

>>11809012
people like that thing with the square screen

>>11809686
It's too chunky and expensive to capture the actual appeal of the PSP Go. Just an ugly waste of money if you ask me.

Got an RP5 and I use it everyday, I dont know if I should consume and buy something from the aliexpress sale, I dont know what I want anymore.

>>11810118
Close the tab and play some video games

>>11810120
I am though, I already said I use my RP5 everyday

I bought a sjgam m27, interested to see if a 7" turd can be polished (it probably can't)

>>11810134
Android 4.4 and locked down to shit.

>>11810118
How is the RP5? How well does it handle PS2 and GC?

>>11810164
runs all GC games perfectly and I havent had a problem with PS2 games either with the new netherSX. If you still have performance issues with it, you can overclock it with an image file which boosts performance and makes it stable for the hard to run games. Also new netherSX2 seems to run problematic games like ace combat without issues. Other than the quiet speakers, this is probably the best chinkheld I own and pretty much convinced me that android based retroids are the best bang for your buck chinkhelds you can get. Also android's sleep mode is crazy good, if you just emulate games weaker than the PS2/GC you can have literal weeks of battery life and sleep mode to turn it off and on without the annoyances of turning on your handheld like linux based cheaper ones.

>>11810118
>I dont know what I want anymore.
Anon I tell myself this every single day I continue to live for everything that I do. What do I even want anymore? I don't even know anymore. Sometimes I feel like I am frozen in heaven.

>Buy an r40s
>holy fuck this is loud
>why is the video for Spider-Man 2 PS2 the PS5 Spider-man game
It's such a minor fuck up but it got me for some reason

>>11809686
D-pad and face buttons on the sides like that are actually less comfortable than if they put them where the analog sticks are.

>>11809839
And RG405M had a screen that unglued itself and came apart because they couldn't design the thing properly.

>>11809696
I'm waiting for CrossMix 1.4, so I haven't put any other custom OS on mine. In the meantime, I've mapped one of the function buttons to switch frequency. Unfortunately, I have no idea which frequency corresponds to which color (and I can't seem to find any mentions online), but it's pretty obvious the progression goes: blue - lowest value, green - second lowest, yellow - middle value, orange - second highest, red - full (2 GHz).
When playing GBC titles I switch freq to blue. If an ancient single-core LG P500 could run those, the Brick definitely can, even at lowest CPU clocks.

The only non dogshit vertical chinkheld is miyoo mini plus

>>11810252
Is it any better than ‘nig plus?

>>11809686
It would've been good if it was thin like the PSP GO. But it being so thick just means it's dead on arrival.

>>11810164
RP5 should do everything up to switch just fine. It will struggle with some switch stuff, but emulation is dead there anyways so not a big loss.

In my opinion the bigger issue is the ergonomics. When you start playing control stick-centric games, your hands will scream in pain after half an hour. You can mitigate it with a grip, but that's an extra $20+ shipping and really kills the aesthetic (and imo point) anyways.

>>11810145
if it lets me get to retroarch I'll be happy. Well, as happy as someone using retroarch can be

>>11810263
>but emulation is dead there anyways
by being basically complete?

Which chinkheld has the best sticks?

>>11810263
>>11810405
Wait, you can actually emulate a Switch on an ARM handheld? I figured you would need an x86 handheld for that.

>>11809658 (OP)
I want the Flip so bad goddamit why did they make the hinge so badly designed
do I just get the 34XXSP bros?

>>11810432
No, wait for >>11809424

>>11810435
isn't that just the 35XXSP?

>>11810438
No, apparently that’s the initial design for 34XXSP. Honestly sticks aside, I still don’t understand the train of thought behind the 5head

>>11810445
yeah they should've just used the same screen on the 35XXSP so that 5head not there.
I don't think it's gonna bother me that much though
and I do wanna gamble with a black version of the Flip

>>11809727
>>11809686
>cant play carts of any kind
pass

>>11810398
It's sjgam. Retroarch is locked down too. Everything is fullscreen and you can't change it for now. With how the bootloader normally works on these things, it might take longer for the dedicated sjgam autists to unfuck the settings, but since this rockchip hasn't been used in handheld before, there might be more interest Ppsspp and dc I think are fine since those are standalone.

Speaking of the Brick, does anybody know which is the "Off" position for the FN slider? Seems to me like up is off (when doing the LED test, moving it downwards switches them off), but the guide says that down is off (though I can see the guide being wrong).
On the TSP, right is Off, and it would correspond to the upper position on the Brick.

>>11810449
I remember when the Analogue pocket released and I wanted one so badly.

Let’s say hypothetically that I’m going to prison and hypothetically I wanted to smuggle a handheld in my rectum. Hypothetically which handheld would be best for this? Hypothetically.

>>11810421
Yes actually, it runs like 70% of the library really well. ARM handhelds like rp5 can even emulate windows now with winlator so you can play ps3/360 era pc ports at 30 fps and it's still extremely new.

>>11810449
>>11810559
I have an analogue pocket, and I honestly enjoy playing my GBA more than it.

>>11810615
I'm the second anon. I'm sure it's a solid device but for it's price it's crazy that it can only play a handful of systems (officially at least).I rather buy a modded Gameboy (any model) or an RP classic/RG40XXV

RP3S, my beloved

I got a new smartphone for my birthday recently, a Galaxy A25, crazy good for the price, 8GB RAM and 256GB storage, SD card slot, headphone jack, 120Hz refresh rate... the Exynos chip isn't the best, but it runs up to PS1 fine, so I'm good, though I'm curious to test out some PSP and even PS2 later. Also got a cool screen protector, it being matte means less fingerprints and reflections.

agreed.
apple is worse than shartshung, but that doesn't make shartshung any better.

>>11811237
I see, thanks for the heads up, anon! I'll see if I can run some of my PS2 favorites, if not I'll just have to stick to the PSP ports if it works, since those ports were often pretty similar.

>>11811240
I like 'em though, One UI is great and having a Samsung previously made the switch pretty seamless and easy, also the years of OS supports are pretty good for the price. I might give a Chinese brand a shot eventually, but I like Samsung for now, unless my experience takes a turn for the worst at some point, though I'm hopeful that won't happen, if it did that'd be a huge bummer too.

>>11809658 (OP)
Are any of these actually good or is it better to just get a phone and one of those gay controllers?
RGB30 seemed like the best all rounder last I checked but it's doubled in price since

Avoid poco. They are powerful and relatively affordable but the software sucks ass.

Absolutely fantastic. It's a DS game after all.

Got me 35XX Pro!
It's very nice!

>>11810716
This looks like a solid handheld for everything up to PSP/DC. It just needs to have a decent price tag and people will jump on it.

>>11811476
Nice teal.
What are the point of the sticks though? What are you even playing with them?

>>11811335
I'll keep it in mind, thanks for the advice, anon!

>>11811345
One UI is pretty good I think.

>>11811449

>>11811476
what exactly is the difference from a g350/ r36?

Upgrading from my retroid pocket 3 to an RG406H. I don't really play any newer games and that megadrive dpads got me excited after the dogshit retroid pocket 3 dpad.

Ordered the miyoo mini plus. Weak as shit but it's cheap at least for non eck shit. Fell for it again award

>>11811589
there's nothing inherently wrong with it, just don't leave it charging like a redditor

>>11811589
Is it even cheap? Last I checked it cost the same as the infinite h700s.

>>11811589
It has a good screen.

>>11811606
It's like 50 dollars it's cheap as long as you aren't a third worlder (I know most buyers are)

>>11811626
The point is it gets mogged bad at the same price.

>>11811487
Pic related.
>>11811547
It's more powerful than the G350, and weaker than the R36 but has better build quality.

>>11811626
>as long as you aren't a third worlder (I know most buyers are)
anecdotally south americans don't into handhelds because import taxes are brutal, indians don't because they prefer phones, and Euros get slugged with expensive shipping. There's only one winner

>>11811635
G350 is the same as R36S, you just don't risk getting a clone

Is there still any reason to buy MM+ in 2025?

>>11811689
Miyoo has better dpad, ten bucks cheaper, and 20g lighter. i don't know if i'd really hold my breath about ambernig's performance being that much better, but good luck

>>11811689
The mm+ has WiFi, check the image you posted again.
And to answer your question the answer is no, the mm V4 is more pocketable so even that has more value than the MM+.

>>11811703
Anbernig tends to have better discounts, especially on h700slop. And well, the performance part may not matter much for SNES and below but you CAN play some N64/Dreamcast if you really want to. But I see the dpad part mentioned a lot and I feel like 'nig's dpad is already pretty good, is there that much of a difference?
>>11811704
Yeah, I mixed that part up with V4. Still I can't imagine playing MM (non-plus) for longer than 15 minutes without my hands cramping up

>>11811731
Overall these devices are extremely similar. The ambernig has slightly more power (which equals more heat and less battery, but probably not to a significant degree).
The mmp has a longer history of "the only device you need" and "let me guess, you need more?" posts in /hhg/.
If you do want to attempt n64/dc I would try to find some videos of that device and see if they meet your expectations, otherwise it's just splitting hairs.

>buying scamsung

What are practical reasons to buy any of those chinese handhealds instead of PS Vita?

>>11811769
Thanks to covid, a PS Vita is going to run you over $100 used.
For that price you can pick up a handheld that vastly outperforms it, considering the Vita's emulation performance is comparable to a PSP.

>>11811769
I started thinking about answering this question, then I realized I don't want to do all your homework for you. Look it up if you give a shit. Not my problem.

>>11811769
Not wanting to hunt down a used vita in good condition and at an adequate price

>>11811769
vita owner here.
the vita is only good for psp and ps1.
last time i checked retroarch and other emus run only decent but not great and shaders are hit or miss.

I think I'll buy another chinkheld.

>>11811873

>>11811837
>PS1

>>11811920
That's what the back touch is for anon! But seriously, idk wtf they were thinking. It reminds me of moqi/snail/Ireadygo not including l2/r2 in their gaming phones despite all of them doing fullspeed ps1

>>11811929
L2/R2 on the Vita using the back touch panel is fucking gay and ass, I absolutely hate it

>>11811929
>>11811938
Yeah, I hated the back touch panel on the Vita too. Vita would've been perfect hardware for its time if it had physical L2/R2.

>>11811837
It makes me sad that the Vita isn't even good for a lot of Vita games. Vita games that were originally going to be PSP games, like Gravity Rush and Akiba's Trip.

>>11811920

>>11809658 (OP)
Besides the 35xxsp and 34xxsp are there any handhelds whose displays can be overclocked to 120hz?

Any sites that have got good lists of games to download and put on my handheld? I got 90 gb of free space to fill.

>>11811635
looking at it, it looks like it's just ambernic just making the g350 under their name and making better color options

>>11812126
The ones you enjoyed as a kid

>>11811920
how did the psp even handle that? did sony just not release games that required all controller buttons in the store?

>>11812151
you handle it by not playing those games on psp

>>11812151
IIRC it was handled on PSP by assigning L2 and R2 to the left and right sides of the analog nub. Not that much better when considering the size of later PSP models.

>>11811425
I mean, it was the Spider-Man PS2 game, I just wasn't expecting the preview video to be the ps5 game

>>11811938
The fact this company released this thing when gpd, jxd, and that guy who did the gcw zero had full shoulder buttons confuses me to this day

Its actually one od those phone addons that makes your device half touchscreen, half buttons. I never understood the appeal when tele controllers were a thing.

>>11812267

You wouldn't be able to tell it was a phone if I had not pointed it out. If you look at a collage of jxd handhelds, you probably wouldn't be able to tell which one was a phone hybrid.

>>11812281
You are now mumbling nonsense

what shader should i use for my flippy 2

Oh shit, nethersx2 got an update. Anyone notice any better performance on any games?

And look they even gave a shoutout to our boys and retroid. Maybe there'll be some optimization for snapdragon 865 since that's what they're using for testing.

What does everyone think of a hybrid trigger/ shoulder button that pulls down to "press" R2/L2?
It's to shave off between 3-5mm in thickness for better portability.

>>11812281
If you could read English Rajeesh, you’d know that this convo was about the PS Vita, and had nothing to do with phones.

No wonder your culture’s dying, if you take pride in anti-intellectualism.

This place is weird because somebody looking to get an RG-something-XX or Brick is ovbiously not looking to emu PS2 games, and yet they still got replies like "not powerful enough or" or "Just get a phone".

>>11812390
Thing is, I’d probably just get a phone but I can’t find a clip for 8bitdo pro 2 controller and I hate telescopic ones

>>11809696
I own a Brick. The heating 'problem' is overblown.
>It gets SLIGHTLY warm while playing 2D games over an hour
Imagine your phone being charged.
>it gets warmer when you try to play PS1 games and above
which is retarded anyway because the thing doesn't even have analog sticks.
>It only gets warm at the upper back part
i.e a small issue that can be easily avoided by not putting your fingers there. It's not that different from learning to hold any other device in a particular wya for extra comfiness

>>11812412 (Me)
Probably the other occasion it will get hot is the first (and probably only) time you scrape arts for all your ROMs

>>11812412
Does the “go to sleep mode instead of shutting down and heat up until it gets fully discharged” thing still happen?

>>11812351

>>11810449
So how is the accuracy on this FPGA handheld? Isn't it essentially like owning a GBA?

>>11812309
oh damn that's cool. Good on retroid for doing that. I'd never buy from retroid again due to the insane shipping chaos/stress but they do make a good build quality device compared to Anbernic (who seem to deliver in one week)

>>11812306
the one that looks best to you, I use bezel/koko-aio myself. they have some presets and are customizable.

>>11812335
could work pretty well I think. you can even remove the trigger "wing" to make it look like a pressure sensitive shoulder button to shave even more space.

>>11812309

Been a few months since I checked what was going on with chinkhelds. Is there anything that improves on the rgb30 for vertical arcade games? I love it but battery life is the biggest weakness & it doesn't quite have the balls to play newer cave games like saidaiojou at a decent framerate. Anything new worth looking at?

>>11812846
Making a comment since anon asked what I would be playing
I haven't found small handhelds to ever really be comfortable to play with sticks on. The deck is the best for that, and when I'm playing old 2d games for hours it cramps my hands because it's heavy.

GammaOS, ArkOS or Rocknix on Arc-D? Also does Rocknix really not work without wiping android?

>>11812425
only if you use broken CFW

Is this good for my first chinkheld? I don't want to play anything past 4th gen.

>>11812945
might be a bit small but plenty of power for your needs

>>11811425
oxygenOS is good. the stock AOSP image is good. sony usually doesn't pull any funy business with their xperia line of phones. mostly everything else is not so good. i had samsungs in the past and they all came with preinstalled bloatware that was baked into the image of the operating system so it was impossible to install without rooting. when i checked my battery usage the baked in programs were constantly chewing up a significant portion of my battery life. it was hell. i almost moved away from android entirely at this point but later decided to go with oneplus. oneplus is peak android so far, except for the old nexus'. i miss nexus.

>>11811773

It refers to the repeated lies of N64, DC, PSP capabilities.

>>11812784
Not really. CubeXX doesn't have battery problems and has way better build quality and buttons, but it's marginally slower. Zero40 is about as slow too.

>>11812945
I'd sooner recommend a MagicX, or another member of the 35XX Anbernic family for an extra $10-15. Like the MagicX Mini Zero 28 is basically a better RG28XX with sticks.

>>11813016
We're going to pretend to sell a metal Miyoo Mini next

So since H700, A133 and RK3556 are around the same power level (can run DC/N64 but with varying issues), what’s the next step up? RP2S seems like the next best but it’s no longer produced and T618 devices are a bigger jump in price with some of them also discontinued already

>GameMT
I haven’t seen anyone give a fuck about their shit so I guess the only option to see if A527 is an actual upgrade is to wait for RGB50?

>>11813181
Why wait? There's performance vids of the e6 max. Despite supposedly being between 3566 and t618, emulation is closer to 3566 with not even being close to t610. It's closer to t618 in performance only with android games.

>>11813124
>oh, it is fantastic for native vita games.
No it fucking isn't, games run at like 12-20 fps

>>11812945
I love this little guy but its not comfortable in the hands

not because of button size but because the button placement isnt high enough so you cant clutch it so well
I prefer the A30 for comfort, but its weaker with worse build qualty

>>11813212
It’s still strong enough to go up to PS1, no? Are the overheating issues real if you stick to GBA/SNES games?

>>11813225
I havent had it overheat on anything, it gets slightly warm

also PS1 works great for nearly everything I've tested BUT it doesn't pass the bloody roar 2 test

>>11813196
yeah, borderlands 2.
everything else that isn't a bad port runs well.

>>11813225
It does PS1 well, but can't play the entire PS1 library (like Ape Escape). I mostly only used PS1 to compare the PS1 and PSP versions of Parappa, and the PSP version definitely has some input delay shit going on.

>>11813245
A third of my Vita library are titles that were originally going to be on the PSP then ported over due to long development time/timing of starting development. Most Vita games run like ass on the Vita itself.

This annoys me more than it probably should

>>11812412
literally 99% of ps1 games don't use analog.

You don't play video games.

>>11813304
You don't have to read the buttons to figure out which one to press, right?
Also it's the Dreamcast layout.

>>11813335
I don't but when I play Dreamcast games after SNES it takes me a few seconds to readjust. Why is SFC the "default" palette for the face buttons anyway?

>>11813361
Because reddit goes bonkers for it.
That's not a joke. The ones with snes colors sell out a lot faster, and they'll even go out of their way to color their own buttons if they don't have the option at purchase.

>>11813369
Yeah but isn't reddit predominantly a burger site? You'd think they'd be more into the purple scheme of the NA SNES then

>>11813335
this is not the dreamcast button layout. the picture you replied to isn't either. i have my dreamcast controller on my desk.

>>11813378
it's the one we never got, that's what makes it freaking epic.

>>11813389
He meant the buttons matching colors - they are the same as on a dreamcast controller but rearranged to the SNES layout
>>11813391
Makes sense I guess, I didn't have either so I'm kinda neutral

>>11813389
Oh hey, you're right.
The Xbox and Dreamcast use the same letter placements, and got it mixed up with colors. Whoops.

>>11813441
i have been on this shithole website since 2011 and you are the first person i have communicated with to admit they were incorrect.

for those reading, allow me to blogpost. the original xbox was seen as a spiritual successor to the dreamcast. microsoft exhaustively worked with SEGA for the whole "windows CE compatible" thing. the dreamcast utilized microsoft's directX render API long before the original xbox was even released, which is ironic considering that directX is where the "X" comes from in xbox. after the dreamcast flopped microsoft essentially stole all of their joint-project collaborative work and launched the xbox to compete with sony's ps2 while giving SEGA 0 credit. this is why there are so many similarities between the consoles (including the button layout), and why jet set radio future was released on the xbox.

Recommend me a handheld that has the following characteristics
>horizontal form factor
>d pad at the top, joystick at the bottom
>can play up to n64/ps1

Thoughts on AYA NEO?

>>11813564
TrimUI Smart Pro is the cheapest that fills those criteria but the sticks are kinda ass.

This general has a tendency to go autistic over specs.
You'll see a lot of seething and arguing about higher-end emulation, with a particular obsession over PSP and PS2 games.

Something about the color schemes vaguely remind me of those used in something like Ayaneo's devices. Its just weird though since this company just came out of nowhere but the device is seemingly polished looking despite its low specs.

>>11813573
I personally like Ayaneo's devices, but they're very expensive and its hard to recommend them as a go-to when there's cheaper alternatives available. You basically have to either buy them while the price is low on indiegogo or lurk on ebay or the Retrohandhelds discord to find one of their products at an affordable price.
Personally I wouldn't recommend buying their older Ryzen 5000 chipset or lower devices. You'd have to go for one of their Android ones like the Pocket Air minimum or get one of their 6800-series and higher PC devices and install a Linux distro on it. Even then there's tons of Android devices nowadays that blow the Pocket Air out of the water in terms of price to performance like the RP5, or even Anbernic's RG557 now.

>>11814437
>Make it $100 - $150
lmao

>>11814437
That's not going to happen. The profit margins probably aren't there to convince most manufacturers to jump on board. Some companies for what its worth tried, Anbernic with the Win600, AYN with the Loki Zero, and Ayaneo with some of their weaker 8gb devices that used cheap chipsets like the Mendocino and i3-1215 models in the Air Plus, but it never panned out for one way or another.

Anbernic's model I think only had single channel DDR4 RAM so the performance was always crippled, on top of apparently having bad software on Windows and being a terrible value compared to the LCD steam decks - even now they're pretty overpriced. The AYN Loki Zero took forever to make, so much so that they ended up cancelling some SKUs. Software was half assed even compared to Ayaneo's, I dont think they even have Loki Control Center up on their website anymore. They ended up scrubbing all mentions of it from their website as the entire PC lineup was made redundant with the Odin 2 coming out the same year, offering better emulation perf AND battery life for a similar or cheaper price tag.
Ayaneo tried multiple times, but even if the specs on paper were good for indie gaming or emulation they were always held back by the fact they ran Windows 11. That OS is horrid for lower end battery life handhelds, as it drains the battery even faster and it makes navigating the desktop feel extremely slow at lower TDPs, nevermind at 15w either. The cheaper mendocino and 1215 models weren't really kept in stock either so they kind of wanted to push consumers either to their android devices or higher end models.

>>11812820
I received the 34XXSP earlier and so far I've been loving it. The forehead doesn't really stick out when I'm playing.
Tempted to put my stickers that I got on /osg/ on it...

Pulled the trigger on a trimui brick, what OS should I put on it? Is Knulli a solid choice?

>>11814486
osg still around hahaha
runey died in 2020 and pridefaggots / leddit killed it
34xxsp is an abomination imo
35xxsp is absolute perfection (aside from battery issues)
the 34 screen annoys the shit out of me and the two joysticks are not only an insane eye sore (looks like its infected or something) but they don't make any fucking sense to have on the sp

>>11814437
>Mendocino and i3-1215
is that cheaper than celeron n100?

>>11814507
>osg still around hahaha
yeah kinda lol.
yeah it's not perfect but damn... I do actually enjoy playing on it. I consider the sticks as an extra.
Do wish they made it 4:3 instead though and I could still cope using a border on it for GBA.
the display itself is kinda nice though it surprised me. plus the build quality of the device is not as bad as I thought it was.

>>11814517
how has osg been since hugh nuked it ?
the 34xxsp undoubtedly has a nicer screen, one of the best screens out of any handheld, but the design of having a significant space at the top and a little on the bottom (to fit scale) annoys the shit out of me alongside the analogs

>>11814521
osg has definitely slowed down, but people make stickers now and then.
like I said, the forehead doesn't trip as much (maybe because I bought the black version?)
and the analog sticks don't get in the way because it's recessed.
could it have been designed better? definitely
that's why I was thinking of buying the Flip...
Maybe I'll give this to my brother when they actually upgrade the plastics/hinge of the Flip lol, but as of right now, I'm loving it.

2/ Anbernic devices are 2nd-class citizens compared to TrimUI

I haven't been paying attention, I thought AetherSX was dead? I recall 2 years ago the main dev quit, but I see NetherSX2 still gets updated

I keep seeing people say the TrimUI Brick can't run Saturn well, but they always only show off 3D games being attempted. Does anyone know how 2D Saturn games perform on it?

>>11814765
nethersx2 dev is king, basically he backported pcsx2 updates into the existing aetherSX app.

Probably not the right thread, but: can anyone recommend decent replacement faceplates for New 3DS XL? All I can find are low-quality Chinese parts that don't seem to fit perfectly.

>>11814851
Huh, how does it run now?

>>11814795
Heh, I just got a new Brick in red actually.
The only 2D Saturn game included is a vertical shmup called Steam Heart's
And it seems to run well for me

>>11814923
way better but not perfect, still needs a lot of work but you can bruteforce it with a good enough chip.

>>11814940
Do you know if the performance is much better on the anbernics t820 handhelds?

>>11813069
>CubeXX doesn't have battery problems and has way better build quality and buttons, but it's marginally slower. Zero40 is about as slow too.

Thanks. I already have an RG35xx so I know that processor cant handle a bunch of arcade games I play. Zero40 screen is still interesting though i'll wait for a review.


>>11813605
>The RG Cube is literally the RG Cube XX but more powerful

>android 13

yeah fuck that. should've specified but not interested in android handhelds at all. At that point you are just playing on a phone with a different shell.

>>11809424
what the fuck is the difference from this and the RG35XXSP

>>11814512
Looking up computers with all three chipsets and the price between them in my region, the Celeron N100 seems to be cheaper on average. But my guess is that there just wasn't enough interest by then, especially because Android chipsets seemed to be cheaper with better battery life and emulation performance at that.
Oh yeah, that also brings me back to a funny memory of Ayaneo with their budget Air Plus devices. When they announced that they would use the mendocino and 1215u chipsets, people were originally hyped because they originally promised a pricetag of $250 USD for the low end 8gb configuration IIRC. When the kickstarter campaign launched people were disappointed that the price shot up to $400-450 or so? People were understandably pissed, but I guess the costs of parts were too high to cut corners. To their credit they did try to compensate for it by having a small selection of indiegogo orders go for $250 to make up for it. They also experimented with a cheap device sold at best buy called the Ayaneo Next lite, which had some really old ryzen 4000 APUs for $400 USD. I think they sold out quick on their website, no clue if those are even in stock at Bestbuy still.

I guess the point I'm trying to tell is that some Chinese manufacturers tried, but ultimately none of them really have enough interest in low end PC gaming handhelds anymore.

>>11815195

>>11815331
Probably not the only one but it's enough of a reason for me to wait for the next iteration

>>11815290
sure thing.

>>11815347
It's sadly going to happen at this point, even though it can easily be fixed by improving the ergos so you dont need to buy a fucking grip to comfortably use the controller. Or just making it like the Dualshock controller or even the RP Mini where the sticks are positioned closer to each other on the bottom.
It's ultimately fucking stupid because if they really wanted a compact and powerful device with the stick on top, they could just buy the Odin 2 Mini.

>>11815290
I like small handhelds but my eyes get tired too easily to make them worth buying. Even the DS' screens are too small nowadays.

>>11815401
>easily be fixed by improving the ergos so you dont need to buy a fucking grip to comfortably use the controller.
The only way to improve the ergonomics is to make it bigger and fatter like the 556/7, but retroid stans obsess over "muh pocket portability" so it's never going to happen. Get fucked.

>>11815131
>At that point you are just playing on a phone with a different shell.
Yes anon. That:s the point

Or you can get an RG Cube that is

If you hate Android that much, just open the ES-DE or Beacon frontend first thing and stay in there

>>11815421
That's the worst part of all though, outside of a few devices like the RP flips, the 2 line up, the Mini and the Classic, most of their devices are just skirting the line of being "pocketable". What you get is the worst of both worlds.

Is the Steam Deck still worth buying? Or should I just splurge a little and get an ROG Ally X? Is that even good anymore?

>>11815296
>How are the buttons on V90S?
They're normal, which makes them the best. The membranes aren't stiff, they're not dome switches with spikes running into them. Haven't had any issues in the 2 weeks I've had it apart from initial OS set up

>>11815519
Depends on the type of games you wanna play but the steam deck is very old and outdated at this point and cant run anything past 2024. If you care for retro gaming, get a odin 2 portal or retroid. If you care for PC games grab the ROG Ally X.

>>11815576
>Depends on the type of games you wanna play
I was looking for something that I could use to justify all the purchases of cheap jrpg remasters and remakes I get from steam sales. It doesn't need to play modern triple a games I think.

>>11815591
Find a refurbished steam deck OLED, you can play all of them on it. I dont use mine cause it's big and heavy and just moonlight stream to my retroid instead, that's also an option.

>>11815519
Anyone who tells AAA is playable on UMPCs is full of shit. Only real use for an Ally X is the battery and VRR, while the Deck excels at inputs and OLED. I'd avoid the former on principle given the refresh that's about to come out. Old non-X Ally has a design flaw on the SD reader too, avoid like the plague.

In cases like this, a Steam Deck should still be perfectly fine and you wont find a better price to performance device for indies or lower powered games. Lenovo Legion Go S with SteamOS installed may be better if you want more power, but its 1200p screen it does feel overkill for a Ryzen power handheld with only a 55.5wh battery tbdesu.

max zhou and team alluded to the 34xxsp "fixing" all the shortcomings of the 35xxsp, so in addition to the 3:2 aspect ratio the hope was it could have been smaller, applied the reiteration buttons that didnt eat through the membrane/dome switches, and maybe other shit

Time for regret.

>>11816425
if this thing isn't less than a hundred I'm going to fucking lose my shit

Guise halp, I feel the need to cons00m.
I'm looking at micro horizontals (micro verticals are retarded, literally impossible to use unless you happen to be a loli, in which case get the fuck off this site).
As far as I can tell, there are only two real contenders, both of them by shartui (well, technically powkekky).
The Shartui Smrt is the more capable of the two, but the screen to device ratio is fucked (like the pre-unmasking troid Mini), far too much plastic acreage, making the device look really dodgy, like something 3D-printed in a shed.
The Shartui Model S is the nicer looking one (I'm a sucker for transparent shit), but the internals are pretty low-end, and it isn't much cheaper than the Smrt.

>>11816538
Why not the RG28XX, Miyoo A30, or Mini Zero 28?

>>11816537
It's a easy win on their hands. So something is going to happen, too good to be true

>>11816560
my bet is retarded locked down software

>>11816538
Yeah unless they're super cheap consider >>11816553
I didn't hate the smart though, felt nice ergo-wise

>>11816553
I don't want sticks, so no A30 or Zero 28.
Nig 28XX seems interesting, and is reasonably competent (thanks to the eternal H700). Translucent black also looks nice. However, it's half an inch longer than the Smrt (a bit thicker too, though narrower), and obviously much larger than the Model S. It's also somewhat more expensive than the other two.

>>11816414
too late, but flip 2 mogs

>>11815475

the biggest problem is android has more input lag. Its not much & for most console emulation etc its fine but for stg's its a dealbreaker.

>>11816570
the 28xx is less than $35 USD (~$50 AUD for me) on aliexpress because of EOFYS, so if you're at all interested in the 28xx now is probably the time unless you're happy to wait for singles day in november

>>11815382

I have one of those & really want to like it, it looks & feels great but the OS's available were dogshit around launch. Is there any more alternatives now? (back then it was either stock or the one alternative which was worse)

>>11816570
>However, it's half an inch longer than the Smrt (a bit thicker too, though narrower), and obviously much larger than the Model S
I suppose, though I don't think the extra length really makes much of a difference when you stick it in your pocket. Thicker than the S definitely, especially percentage-wise. But in absolute terms, it's still really small. And for that extra size you get quite a lot more screen space - which is definitely at a premium in this size class - and more performance. As for price, the 28XX regularly goes for $30-$35 on sale, so I wouldn't sweat that too much.

>>11816379
Absolutely, Android is all over the place.

>>11816409

any of the non stock os's fix the battery drain on sleep thing (including the modded stockOS). The problem is it still drains about twice as fast as advertised in use (i get around 2 - 2.5 hours playtime on a charge) (i use ArkOS mainly on it but it was the same on the others)

>>11816602
I don't think RGB30 ever had a stock OS of its own, my launch one shipped with some form of botched JELOS. Rocknix drains very fast while off, if they moved on to that that would explain it.

>>11816581
>>11816587
One more issue which makes me leery of the nig 28xx is that it uses the typical nig membranes (which have a tendency to get ripped) for its buttons, instead of shartui's traditional microswitches.

>>11816583
are you talking about minui?
it's great now. unless you really hate minimalism.
one of the highlights is that all emulators have the same menu bolted-in. you can still access the normal menu of the emu, but the unified menu really enhances user experience.
check this github for a good guide on what you can do.
https://github.com/tiduscrying/trimui-model-s-wiki/wiki/I.-Getting-Started
i also made some modifications to some emus. you may want to use them.

lastly, gba is still kinda shit for more complex games. it's still an old version of gpsp that crashes with golden sun and all of that. but overall it works fine.

>>11816421
Some anons said they didn’t change the dpad though, does it still fuck up the membrane/pads? If so, fixing only the face buttons sounds dumb

>>11815519
No it's criminally underpowered in 2025. You basically can't play anything past 2023 without major compromises. Get an Ally X or the Ally X2 when it comes out instead.

Or be a cheap fag and get an Odin Portal and stream to it.

>>11816651
Don't listen to this guy, get the regular ally or the legion go depending on which is cheaper. No Z1e device is worth more than 500usd. I paid 450 for my legion go.

Allyx can't even use more than 8gb of memory as VRAM same as all the other devices. You really gonna tell me that extra battery life is worth the 400 USD price increase when the gaming performance is identical? Beyond silly.
>>11810572
As someone else said, you probably want the rg nano unless you can REALLY dilate your asshole.

>>11816793
Regular Ally has a known design flaw: the SD card slot malfunctions from overheating, due to being placed too close to the outflow vent.

That sucks, the legion go's sd card reader doesn't have problems but it hard caps at 104mb/s. The only actual design flaw I've noticed with my lego is the bottom usb-c port's layout makes it overheat when using an egpu on it. You can fix this by simply using the top port for it and just keep your dock and power to the bottom port but its still annoying and shouldn't happen.

>>11816329
You need to go to dynos/audio/ then open music_other.txt and change Event_cap_vanish, event_cap_wing, and event_shell 's values from 372400 to 93000 and that'll fix it to where it won't crash anymore when you use those items.

>>11816650
It was the v2 on the 35xxSP that didn't change the d-pad, 34xxSP just stole the d-pad on the Flop along everything else. No idea if it's better though.

>>11816968
Interesting. Speaking of which, does your music loop proper? Mine wouldn't on h700.

>>11815290
>>11815690
Too blocky.

>does your music loop proper
Yeah, I haven't really noticed any audio hiccups or anything.

>>11809686
i had minor interest after seeing the screen. then it all went away as soon as i saw how fat it was. i'll care when they make a good psp go/xperia play copy.

so what the next big thing for this scene? retroid pocket 6?

>>11817162
DS clones, Arc 2, NGP clones. Only way RP6 gets anyone excited is if it drops the glass panel.

>>11817167
I fucking wish we would get good DS clones. Having the right kind of touch screen is a must though and I don't think they would do that

>>11817162
We're currently in the clamshell phase so I guess logically, next would be the DS phase.

Why the FUCK does nextui not have zfast-crt

>>11817259

>>11817312
Since we're talking phones, when the fuck is hello gamesir relessing this thinsh? It looks uncomfortable for anything but maybe ds and sootemups but it could still be neat.

Yes. I'm glad you understand.

>>11817312
How many times have you blown a load to that anime girl?

>>11817325
I wish this thing had come out.

>>11815382
There needs to be more handhelds of this size and thickness. It’s such a neat form factor.

>>11816659
Well personally I got a lot of fun out of Helldivers 2 which the Deck shits itself on on higher difficulties.

It's decent, but the fancoil whine drives me insane. If you don't have working ears and don't hear that frequency though, then yeah it's a good pickup.

the zero 28 is calling to me but i don't need it bros..........

>>11817410
stop playing fotm divers a year after its expiration then

RP Flip 2 should be here this week. Done emulation in the past but haven't had a dedicated before. Put together a library this weekend; still a little confused regarding which bios I would need. Its actually been years since I've done any gaming, but interest piqued when the switch 2 came out. Didn't seem appealing to me though, but read something about dedicated alternatives for emulation, and here we are.

has the Magicx Zero 40 come out yet?

>>11817312
>a phone with a chink controller ends up being pretty much identical to it
imagine believing this

>>11815690
Where the fuck can I buy the device on the right, was it a 2000s MP3 player?

Can any anons with a 406H/V tell me if nexthersx2's 2.0 patch runs better than the old version?

>>11817015
>34xxSP just stole the d-pad on the Flop along everything else
Oh, that one had an alright dpad I think. The color schemes still suck though

>>11810572
looked into this even more, you basically have 3 options, the rg nano, the funkey s and the q36 mini. I think you'd probably like the form factor of the q36 the most honestly, but all of these should fit in your ass no problem.

>>11817359
I've lost count, the only reason I'm even here to talk about playing games on cell phones is because I just finished blowing my load to anime girls on my cell phone. So while I wait for my little willy to recharge I came here to waste time. I got a clip on phone controller that I've used once, but mostly I just use it as a handle to hold my phone while cranking it to 2d women.

My lifestyle is superior to those who buy handhelds

>>11818078
it's in the filename, sandisk clip zip apparently

>>11817162
Ultra-wide DS with room for ergos and extra usb ports/TF card slots. This one would be 8" long and 3.5" tall when closed.

>>11818169
I am very pleased this discussion lead up to this image, the thoughts of my day are now complete and I can sleep easily.

How's the dpad on the RPF2? I have a Vita that I haven't touched in like 9 years but I'm tempted to pick this up for the next time I have to do 24 hours in airports/planes.

>>11818078
Clip Zip was made around 2011ish, I had one back then. Absolute shame SanDisk stopped making them.

>>11818246
if you're looking for dpad gaming, look at the RP5 or retroid classic instead. Otherwise Flip 2 is more portable and the dpad is great but the analog being on top makes it better for newer games.

I gave in, what am I in for? i bought glacier because the XY buttons looked the most subtle

>>11818336
i hope u bought a roll of tape too

>>11818336
An infuriating d-pad. Nice otherwise.

>>11818348
Now hold up
It FEELS good, it just that ambernig used the wrong shape for the pads which is fixable
The same cannot be said for many other dpads that feel and function like shit

lads I would highly suggest rocknix on the rp5/flip/mini, if only for the massively decreased latency in ps2

>>11818348
>>11818336
I've beaten multiple games on mine. zero complaints. nothing wrong with the dpad

>>11818407

>>11818415

>>11818418

>>11818415
>>11818420
what the absolute fuck

>>11818482
NTA but the filters really do look nice on Anbernig devices due to how small the screens usually are.

>>11818483
ya it looks so nice he had to fucking turn them off for >>11818418

Anyone know where to sell extra handhelds? I'm in canada. I got a few ambernics and miyoo I dont use anymore.

>>11818490
If ebay doesn't work then it couldnt hurt to hit up the Retro Handhelds discord.

>>11818494
well I'll check that out then

buying a gameboy micro, is there a way to prevent the screen from getting that yellowish tint over time or is it just inevitable in some models?

>>11818336
A slightly lighter GBA with extra buttons.
L2 and R2 feel infinitely superior to L and R in terms of ergonomics and your hand naturally rests on them in a comfortable way over keeping your fingers on L and R so consider rebinding stuff to them instead.
L and R are not like a GBA. They have this very soft push and travel instead of the instant click like the GBA so you'll have to get used to that difference.
My X and Y felt ever so slightly stickier than A and B but that stopped even after a few presses of them.
The d-pad feels very hard to push on and has insane false diagonals. You have to break in and weak down the d-pad a bit before it starts feeling better physically, but you will actually have to tear down the system to fix the awful diagonals.

>>11818368
>It FEELS good
It feels extremely hard to push against and actively hurts your thumb unless you only use the flat of your thumb to tilt the d-pad like some kind of madman. It's fine for like an hour of use but once you use it for longer than that your thumb is going to hurt.
It also has some of the worst false diagonals I've ever felt in my life and pressing down usually means diagonally right or even right.

>>11818415
>>11818420
That looks nothing like my GBA SP but at the same time none of the shaders/filters I've tried do. I feel like I might as well play with no shaders at all if it's scaled fine

>>11818635
>The d-pad feels very hard to push on
i have a 34xxSP, is it harder than that?

I've ordered over 3 handhelds recommended here , SP style, micro, and, bar type devices and they have all felt inferior to my OLED iPhone 13 Pro max + BackBone Controller.

I hate you all.

>>11818704
out of interest, which 3 handhelds were they? Was one the Miyoo Mini Plus? It was the Miyoo Mini Plus, wasn't it? Shout out to my boy Miyoo Mini Plus shill +1 sale

>>11818680
As far as I know the 34XXSP is the same as the 35XXSP and that d-pad isn't hard to push at all. The 34XX's is like pushing on a hard piece of thick plastic with a fair amount of resistance, I don't know how else to put it. The 35XX-H has an identical feeling d-pad and it hurts my thumb after hours of repeated usage.

>>11818715
when you say harder to press on i figure you mean its clicky, is that not the case?

Would you buy a RP5 or an Nintendo Switch Oled for 100$?

need help with this one, I plan to play some ps2 games and everything until switch I guess.. im new to this

>>11818728
if the switch 2 did not exist then i would pick the switch

>>11818723
No, I mean the button is physically hard like a rock and when you push on it it digs into your thumb because of how hard it is. The actual press on the thing is fairly spudgy but depressing the physical button itself is like having a very hard rock to push against to get it to actuate.

>>11818729
Can it emulate PS2 games successfully? That's my biggest worry. I think the RP5 can do a better job at Switch and PS2 games, right?

>>11818745
Ps2, yes. Switch, no.

>>11818704
The backbone is dogshit. I'd take the kishi v1 even with it's awful dpad any day of the week. The only plus is the shape.

>>11818745
Depends on the switch games but you can run a surprising amount of switch games on the RP5. Think of it as a bonus rather than it's main feature due to switch emulators being dead thanks to nintendo smashing them up.

>>11818591
yes, by using it. https://gbatemp.net/threads/dsi-ll-de-yellowing-experiment.661242/

is the powkiddy rgb10x worth getting? looking for a horizontal with a 3 inch screen.

tariff bros how are we holding up?

>>11818704
I didn't like my backbone.mushy d-pad and click buttons when it should be the opposite

This is fucking hilarious, the guy who has spent the past dozen threads insisting his filter isn't fucking total garbage even turns it off when playing, forgetting to turn it back on for one screenshot, lmfao

>>11819148
i wont lie i use a similar filter when playing gameboy color games. i think it looks alright when you're sitting far away from it, although i am retarded

>>11809798
Green looks fun.

>>11810164
NTA
But I'm selling mine now because I really can't get on with a stick layout for PS2 games. It's a shame, otherwise it's a great device.
Replacing it with a flip2, want something with a better stick layout and a bit more worry-free, as in I can just chuck in the bag without digging up the way too bulky case first.
But damn it looks and feels gorgeous (unless you're playing PS2).

>>11810252
Had to sell mine the next day after I got it. Haven't heard coil whine that bad before.

>>11819316
This doesn't even make any fucking sense, since the RP5 has the fucking PlayStation layout.

>>11811639
>EU
>Expensive shipping
Nah, it's not. Now VAT will rape you.

>>11812126
If you just want to fill the space with games that are considered by most to be good, get Tiny Best Set.

>>11812945
It is very small, like smaller than you think. But it's pretty comfortable to use, which was really surprising. Buttons do rattle.
Better get something with a 3.5" screen, IMO that's a sweet spot for a start.

>>11817856
The only thing I'm waiting for. I don't even need it, I don't play vertical shmups, but it is so odd that I have to have it.

>>11819325
Layout yes. Ergonomics no. And I never liked Dualshocks until PS5, despite PS2 being the console I spent the most time with.

From button clickiness where does Brick land on the

Another one to the vaporware pile, Allwiener "new flagship SoC, which will be released this year."

>>11818368
It's a little stiff and too close to the screen, could be better.

>>11818635
>They have this very soft push and travel instead of the instant click like the GBA so you'll have to get used to that difference.
Thought that was just me, CubeXX's activate much more reliably, wonder if padding the button's surface would help or if the membranes are fucked somehow.

>>11819584
I got a pair of rayneo air3s, it's basically a monitor in your eyes. I havent used mine because I found out that one of my eyes is having sight issues and I need to get my eyes checked for a prescription so I can order in some lens.

These shits look so boring now. Why can’t they do original designs?

>>11819875
I don't like gimmick designs, but I don't understand why they don't adopt bumps and handling curves at that size. Even powkiddy could do it, if briefly.

Does anyone make mods for retro handhelds? I'd like a different exterior for my RG 34xx.

Kinda disappointed in it, the input lag is annoying. I wish it was 25% larger, with analog sticks.

Are there any GBA or PSP form factor FPGA handhelds?

So what are the top 3 vertical, horizontal, pocket size, and micro size handhelds right now? Been out of the loop for at least a year.

>>11820253
Forgot to specify out of the current budget chinkhelds, so less than €70 EUR/$80 USD.

>>11820257
Basically any of Anbernic XX line of handhelds. All if them do up to PS1 easily and can dabble in a few less intense N64 and Dreamcast games.
They come in every form factor you could want.

>>11815661
Don't think this plays SNES unless you run an emulator on it. Seems you want it only to emulate the feel of having "original hardware" without it being literally the original hardware. So what I am getting at is you may as well go with a better option for SNES emulation. You can however play PC Engine games with some cartridge attachment from what I saw.

Cool to have another port, but it kinda hurts my fingers to try to play this while gripping the triggers after a little while...

Thinking of getting a trimui brick, does it support per-game button remapping like in retroarch though? Or is that an OS-specific thing? (I'm thinking of using knulli maybe).

>>11820448
All those firmwares use Retroarch for emulation so yeah, you can remap per-game.

should I take the BRICK pill? it's $40 after coupon and looks cool
I already have Smart, Smart Pro, and r36s. I really like the feel of the two trimui devices I already have.
The alternative is waiting for a clamshell that doesn't suck, or maybe the BRICK HAMMER

also it doesnt feel too hard to press. retro game corps mentioned the glacier color having softer buttons so maybe thats why?

Hello. I'm thinking of getting rgcubexx as my first chinkheld. One of the systems I'll be playing is the PS1. I'll be playing it in integer overscale. However some 4:3 game hud info and ui might go beyond the 1:1 screen. I need a way to quickly see the whole game screen. My knowledge of Retroarch is pretty basic, so I wanted to know if it's possible.
Is there any way in RA to configure a (hold) hotkey, that upon holding it would temporarily turn the integer scale scaling option from overscale to underscale, and back when hotkey is released? Or something like that.

>>11819148
that's a save state screenshot, dumb shit skin. The save states don't apply the filter.

>>11818484

Its been a week since the "announcement" and there hasn't been a single real image.
Also trimui will usually distribute primarily through aliexpress like they did when the shart pro and brick launched
Tell me you didn't give a random website $85 cause plebbit told you to do so lmao

Pulled the trigger and got a Trimui Model S for 25 eurobux, incl. VAT (this is usually a big chunk) and shipping (with one of those front page summer discount codes).
I initially wanted no card, but that wasn't an option, so I went for 64 GB (only one euro over the 32 one).

>>11820860
It's surprising that they didn't immediately rip off Ayaneo with something like the Pocket Micro. A perfect form factor for shoving an H700 into, and they can jack the price a bit with a metal frame for "muh premium feel". It'd be practical compared to the RG Nano.

>>11820860
I think they are still selling RG300X
>>11821085
RG30XX with H700, a 3:2 screen and a metal shell would be cool actually

>>11821028
300x and 28xx are the same size but superior in every way
Brick is 40 bucks now
What's wrong with you?

>>11821136
to be fair to anon, the Model S looks perfect for a front shirt pocket, due to thinness. I wouldn't get one personally though - need that SNES and Playstation

>>11820860
Nah, I've got the glacier myself because I had an Indigo as a kid and I wanted something different. I've seen people say the RG35XX-H also has a decent d-pad so I don't know, maybe my thumb is just starting to hurt but it feels way harder than any d-pad I've ever felt. The RG35XX-SP feels fine by comparison.

AHHHHHHH I WANT A TRIMUI BRICK BUT I GOT TOO MANY HANDHELDS AS IS

>>11820712
It should.

>>11821206
IT IS VERY COMPACT, YOU CAN FIT IT IN YOUR HOME STILL.

>>11821206

What chinkhelds have big buttons? Not necessarily NES/SNES controller-sized (I think it’s just SF2000) but around GBC/GBA size?

>>11821247
RG34xx is gba-sized, including buttons. I think most of them have the same size buttons? What would you consider handheld with small buttons?

>>11809686
I was interested until I saw the price tag.

Anyone know how I can manage Aspect Ratio per emulator on RetroArch? I changed the Aspect Ratio and it changes it for all cores.

>>11821254
PocketGo’s buttons feel too small. RG35XXH are better but I still wish they were a bit bigger (maybe with a bigger screen too but from pictures it looks like their 4” screen ones use the same buttons)

>>11821247
the Miyoo a30 has big buttons but I wouldn't recommend it

are there any AU retailers that aren't dropshipping orders from aliexpress and are actually holding stock? i dont mind paying a little extra to not wait a month for chinkshit handhelds

>>11821305
i live in vic and every chinkheld ive ordered from ali i've gotten in like a week

>>11821247
DMG GB had NES-sized buttons and they felt fine.
Basically every chinkheld uses comically tiny buttons and dpad.

Is it just me or does the trimui brick have significantly lower input latency compared to other chinkhelds?

>>11821262
Save core overrides, or save content directory overrides to apply it to everything loaded from that folder.

>>11821178
You're right, it starts to hurt an hour or two in, I have an Indigo. I wonder if this could be down to how tightly screwed the PCB is, can't imagine the rubber membranes varying enough in resistance.

I don't like playing jewy's avocado, but the other companies did basically give up. Surprisingly based CubeXX choice though.

>>11821337

sucks that even when we do eventually get a ds style handheld, it'll just be worse quality than an actual one

>>11821297
Why not? For a micro handheld it looks pretty good on paper
>>11821310
From what I’ve gathered, they are getting progressively smaller too? RG351’s buttons apprently are 8mm while RG353’s are 7mm, not sure about 35Xx’s sizes

>>11821354
Eh, those things could be pretty brittle sometimes, especially DS Lite hinges. Also a modern touchscreen, man, anything would be an immediate improvement over any original touchscreen (DS or 3DS) lol.

Not to say a chinese handheld can't be worse, of course. But, there are easy improvement points, too.

wasn't a fan of Spruce, for some reason the settings would keep resetting after a few days. Also while the buttons were good, it'd be better without the single stick

>>11821397
I still think an A30 plus makes more sense than the flip. Make the a30 a bit bigger with a better screen and thermals and I'm sure it will dominate the micro category.

Speaking for myself, few operating system options which all suck, dpad is subpar, screen is mediocre, chipset is trash. I do like how it kinda looks and feels as if someone made an emulator out of an NES controller, and the shoulder buttons are top-tier for a micro handheld, but overall better options exist at that size and at that price range.

>>11821136
I already have a Brick, waiting for Cizia to release CrossMix 1.4 (the one which can be swapped between Brick and TSP).
OBTW do you know Trimui recently released a Brick firmware update (including a patch for the base package)?
I don't trust nig membranes on their lower-end shit, prefer clicky microswitches.
And I wanted something super small, that however wasn't some meme RG Nano or another 3D printed vertical.

>has a flip 2 but havent set it up
>has a retroid pocket classic but havent set it up

idk why i bought a miyoo mini plus then but at least it comes with games and onion os and its cheap

>>11821462
it takes like an hour to set it up with a guide, why did you buy two retroids if they're just sitting on your shelf?

>>11821397
The pictures make it seem like the stick is recessed enought to be at dpad level so that isn’t too bad, the resetting part does sound weird though
>>11821450
Aren’t the buttons identical to MM/MM+? I keep hearing how great that dpad is, almost to the point where I wanna get one of them just to try it myself, I get that it’s all subjective but still

How are you guys getting the $40 Trimui brick when the cheapest I can get is $50 with coupons?

>>11821469
im going to use them eventually

>>11809658 (OP)
How "inaccurate" the gpSP core really is?
I found that mGBA is I guess to hard to run for my 34XXSP (audio crackles and increasing audio latency doesn't really do anything). Also thoughts on other GBA cores anons?
Running muos.
Found it weird that running PS1 games is smoother than GBA lol.

>>11821481
>Aren’t the buttons identical to MM/MM+?
I don't know, I haven't tried those models. But the A30 doesn't have enough pivot and is prone to false diagonals. The press feels cheap too, probably a shitty membrane underneath. Shame too, the size and shape are bang on, it could have and should have been an excellent dpad.

I think in what I spent on original consoles + chinkhelds in these last 2 years, I would have easily bought a new PC (less $1200 bucks) or upgrade my old ryzen 5600 + 6600. It's a very expensive ""hobby"" if you don't have self control. heh.

>>11821506
how many chinkhelds do you own

>>11821491
>How "inaccurate" the gpSP core really is?
Extremely.
>I found that mGBA is I guess to hard to run for my 34XXSP
H700 should handle mGBA fine. Either multithreaded rendering is disabled or muOS is downclocking for GBA.
>Also thoughts on other GBA cores anons?
Those are the only two worth considering.

Best emu interface ever
Retroarch would do well to copy..

Does Miyoo Flop have any problems aside from the shit hinge design? Failing at getting the selling point of a clamshell right is bad but I might take a gamble with it if the controls and the screen are good (and the hinge DOES break, I could probably just fix it in place and use as a vertical)

>>11820860
cool reddit sticker
go back

>>11821559
Yes its fucking useless
If you want a port machine with sticks just get a tsp
Actually you can cop a shart pro AND a brick for less than what a flip usually goes for right now

>>11821606
What do I get if I want a clamshell which doesn’t need any tape mods and has wifi?

Fellow 35xxsp retards, is there any good custom firmware for it yet?

>>11821491
what are you using on the 34xxsp? I have a 34xx and muos was terrible for it in my experience. GBA games ran like shit and the battery drained extremely fast. I switched to knulli and now everything works great.

>>11821482
This.
Also I'm into PSP. Is the Smart Pro ($57) a better option? does it run well with this chip? If it doesn't I'll just get a Brick.
I'll be doing the usual Genesis, snes
Fuck been lurking since February and I still don't have any chinkheld :( need one now.

>>11821782

Does knulli support deep sleep on the brick?
Just about had it with nextui

So are any of these chink handhelds worth getting these days? I had picrel in like 2020 and sold it after a few months as it had horrific input lag, was borderline unplayable. Are any of them worth picking up or should I just buy a GBA with a backlit mod and grab GB, GBC, and GBA flashcarts?

>>11821864
No there are no handhelds worth getting these days. That’s why we have this endlessly re-posted handhelds general. We use this thread to talk about jacking off.

>>11818635
I beat mega man zero 1 and 2, 2 of the hardest games on gba, and never had any issues with the dpad at all. You guys are doing autism lab tests instead of just playing the damn game.

>>11821961
Meanwhile just browsing the main UI of Knulli causes me to constantly shift tabs when trying to go up or down which doesn't happen on my RG35XX-H or SP, Castlevania Circle of the Moon had me constantly moving right or left when I wanted to jump down, and even in Super Mariomon I am going down-right when at the top-left box when I want to go right or down.
I do not have these issues on the other two systems at all. It's the d-pad.

Can the H700 XX Anbernics handle the borders/blur_fill shader without lag?

>>11821782
I'd wait a bit more until the Air X gets released. >>11810716
This could be the best budget handheld for PSP.

It's here!

>>11821506
Same, absolutely the same. And I'm still thinking about getting a fucking Saturn now...

>>11821880
Hey, just as IEM general over on g!
>>11822036
Fucking finally! Will wait for it shop up on Ali tho, as they promised. That price warrants a solid -$10 coupon...

>>11822061
/g/ is a cesspool that needs to be wiped out.

>>11822036
Btw, they said the first batch will ship with Sandisk SD cards

>>11822036
Rip any ds/3ds game that requires you to hit the touch screen with your thumb.
Terrible design.

>>11822085
Anything on aliexpress availability?
>>11822098
>Rip any [...] 3ds game
Don't worry, it wouldn't run 3ds games anyway.

>>11821550
Takes me back. I think I liked the RIN UI more.

>>11821585
its not a reddit sticker its actually a 4chan sticker, glad i could clear things up

>>11821028
congrats, it's a fun device to use even if not too powerful.
see this >>11816615 for enhancements.

I'm debating picking up one of these...
I need something small and powerful with sticks that isn't overpriced.

>>11821864
Depends on what you want. There is no definitive system so you pick whatever you like/can afford.
Retroids are usually a top choice, not sure if input lag got better because I never owned the one you posted but I don't see people complaining about it

>>11822234
That's literally it.
Very small, plays up to DreamCast/N64 alright, is under $100. It's my favourite chinkheld so far.

>>11822234
Same....

thought on aya neo ace?

>>11822098
Capacitive screens are possibly older than the DS, retard.

>>11822272
RP2 and Vita combination, but done wrong

>>11821378
My stylo with it’s stylus is much better than any ds Ive used. Mind you, it was only my stylo and keyone that were better with and without the stylus. Lg did a bunch of retarded shit, but they need to return to the phone world.

>>11822336
From a button placement/grip perspective you idiot.

>>11821606
The shart pro isn’t that good for ports. Allwinner is never supplying the 32bit libraries. Even without them, some ports still fuckup. I like the ports I can play, but I’d recommend someone a 3566 device with at least 2gb of ram for ports before anything by trim.

>>11821782
Wait for the air x.

>>11822408
Sounds like a you problem. Are you the same anon who sobbed endlessly about the SF2000's face buttons being "canyons apart" before posting his girlish little china hands?

Vita3k is amazing.

>>11822552
Are you blind? Can you not see the difference between where the dpad is on that thing vs where is its on the ds compared to there the bottom screen is?

>>11822580
How does it emulate the back touch pad?

>>11822606
Beats me, I never played a real Vita.

>>11822607
>I never played a real Vita.
What does that have to do with it?

>>11821347
Thanks, will try that out.

Is there a reason why handheld reviewers just passed over the Vortex F5 or the Kinhank K5 when those came out? It would be more interesting to check those out over yet another R36S clone in the market.

>>11822627
Probably because those companies never sent in review units. This is the first time I'm seeing these names.

when will chinkhelds start removing button labels, ifucking HATE buttoni labels
