>>11835505 (OP)Is the GB350 just a reshelled GB3000? Why doesn't the Google Sheet list the GB350's actual specs? I'm seeing them for $15 and am curious about getting one for a friend who loves verticals but hasn't gotten into chinkhelds at all, it might be an okay system for him to dip his toes into and then he can buy what he really wants if he likes it?
Or will it just be using the SF-2000's UI and hardware like the GB3000?
>>11835605Don't get me wrong, I love the SF-2000, but if the GB350 is just a reshelled vertical SF-2000 then it completely fucking rapes and ruins why the SF-2000 is any good at all. I want something that will do at least N64, specifically, but hopefully with two sticks since he would not want to play N64 with a d-pad.
>>11835181Are you using PTFE teflon tape?
>>11835505 (OP)What does the AND button do?
>>11835605>>11835607The table doesnโt have much info on brandless chinkhelds, Iโm guessing no one bought it or if anybody did, didnโt bother putting the info out there. GB350 looks like another R36S clone but with only one stick and HDMI output, If you can get it for that cheap, feel free to gamble, if itโs really at least an RK3326, it should be better than SF2000. That said, until some chink makes another cheap and tanky device with SNES-sized buttons, SF2000 will have a niche
Which OS for the cube xx: knulli or muos?
>>11835817For me, it's muOS
>>11835805>>11835607Itโs a reshelled sf3000. Which is still shit.
Action Pi canโt come out soon enough
I really hope the Magnmi Air X doesn't drop the ball. There needs to be a good RP3+ successor at a decent price.

Many such cases
Is there a better handheld than the Odin 2 Portal?
>>11836126Better is subjective. The Steam Deck is more powerful and can do more.
I think I'll get a Retroid Pocket 5 and Classic, and then wait for Steam Deck 2.
>>11835505 (OP)>starts at $69Not that bad, not bad at all.
To summarize EVERY thread:
There's a faggot who obsesses over taping buttons, but only plays ONE SINGLE GAME. Shit talks all day, but only owns one device, obsesses over gay ass crt filters and wants his games to look like vasolene is smeared on the screen, while playing snes in stretched to 4:3 where all of the characters look like fat Mexicans. This user has HUNDREDS of images on his phone that he spams over and over in this thread, bitching about the devices he doesn't like and YouTube fags that nobody else has ever heard of. He religiously watches every video released by these people he hates, probably while plotting a to kidnap one of them. He's totally schizophrenic and accuses everyone who disagrees with him or being these random YouTube fags, or employees at chinkheld companies. He's definitely one of those people who thinks the government watches him through his camera and sends spies to follow him around the grocery story. He has a pink bunny tattoo on his arm, aids, and he definitely drinks his own piss (the fed who watches him through his web cam told me about it in our secret chat group that includes his neighbors, family members, and Highschool bully).
He is responsible for 50% of all posts in this thread.
>>11836516i think you need to take your meds sir
Has Saturn emulation improved at all or does it still require the really high end expensive shit for a smooth experience?
experts say only 1 in 30 posters in this thread actually play video games.
They get really mad when you remind them that they're not gamers they're plastic huffing plebbit consumers
>>11836593that looks really good
>>11836516You forgot one important detail: he for some reason gatekeeps kind of tape he's using, and will attack anyone who uses any other kind.
>>11836270Final price is 98 after the first sales. Which is stupid for a 662.

>>11836612I think you should be able to pick it up for around 80 on sale with coupons once (if) it comes to ali.
>>11836126The Odin 3 if it comes out this year.
>>11836593remember when you shit your pants and cried for jannies to save you kek
>>11836593how does this look so bad?
>>11836695I would get this if it weren't for the ridiculously small controls.
They have all that space. What's the excuse? The DMG GB had full-size controls.
>>11836112Let us know when they've worked out how battery indicators work
>>11836516This is bullshit, but I believe it
>>11836593I definitely don't play as much as I'd like, this month I've managed to finish 4 titles, all relatively short too, becase sadly life gets in the way of our hobbies quite a lot, it's just the way things are, but I definitely play when I can, going to play some tonight too.
>>11836831Its weird - had all the time but no games when younger, now all the games and no time
>>11836516But enough about you
>>11836516kek, accurate summary
>>11836593I played some Pokemon Silver today, sadly I was playing on my smartphone because I am waiting for my RPF2 to arrive.
>>11836128>The Steam Deck is more powerfulLol
Is Ayaneo Pocket S2 the new endgame?
>>11836909>I played some Pokemon Silver todayYou have to go back
>sadly I was playing on my smartphone You do not belong here

>>11837004For this year at least. If only they could have just used the shell of the Pocket Evo, outside of the shoulder buttons not being as comfortable as I would have liked due to being clicky, it was a nice handheld to hold.
What the fuck even is reddit spacing at this point
>>11836516>obsesses over taping buttonsWhat did he mean by this? How can you use your chinkheld without button taps?
>>11836657No.
I just remember you seething about losing every argument in every thread.
>>11837010you don't play video games
>>11837063meanwhile in reality
>>11836596kek never ask a lady her age, never ask tapefag what kind of tape he uses
>>11837070>plays the game on a ghetto box that ruins artkek
>>11837079I thought it was bandage tape, to heal the wounded PCB.
>>11837052IMO, it goes like this. Here's an ideal 4chan post:
------
>>00000000Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
>Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
------
Short, sweet, to the point, creates divisions between paragraphs using greentext instead of spaces, allowing individual thoughts to be easily separated and readable while keeping the post condensed. If it's some big essay or effortpost with a lot of information, then traditional formatting (long paragraphs with a space between each) is also acceptable. Redditspacing, even though it's thrown around too much (and ironically often used by newfags trying to fit in as an attack on a post that isn't even redditspaced to begin with), boils down to shitty formatting with excessive spacing. For example:
------
>>00000000Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.
Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.
Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum.
------
Somebody that types like this is in unironic fashion is most likely retarded or fresh off the reddit boat. It's visually messy and needlessly long due to superfluous spaces added between sentences or short paragraphs.
>>11837063>n-no!yeah you do bitch lmao
>>11837136not him but you're clearly seething
>>11837114Holy k-k-k-kekerino nignog!

>>11837197Have a xanax and a lie down, buddy, you're kekerinoo'ing too close to the sun
>>11837197Ideal 4chan formatting, thank you.
>>11837197>calling someone a cuck in 2025you're either a pajeet, brazilian or a zoomer/redditor desperately trying to fit in
>>11837197>Trying to mimic the keksneed poster>R-Reddit spacing isn't real!(While reddit spacing)>I-I don't use reddit (While grtting anal for reddit)>Reads the first line he's replying as an insult (Like the average redditor would)>Last but not least, he makes jeets somehow look good by sharing his love for cuck porn.B-Bu-Buuuuuuuuuuuuu....
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPS! BURaaaaaaps! BUH! The FUCK! RAAAAAAAAAAPS! We got a potentially mongrel wigga nigga who not only plays goymes, he BEATS his dik to his favourite mcutroon actors while watching chinkslop reviewers in the backround! Ready the snarf fuckbois, the eagle has landed in the mother of all cuckolds to ever grace handheld general!
>>11837225>implying humonkeys would use cuck as an insult ??? Jeets may have the highest cuck fetish, but whites are sadly in second place thanks to sitcoms.
>Married with children - financially >Frasier - Spiritual>My name is earl - Bloodline>The office - Kekaroo! Who watches this shit?
>>11837256Handhelds are tearing this general apart!
This guy is more sick in the head than the pink Miyoo Mini + guy!
>>11837267The miyoo mini+guy, pink arm tattoo faggot, and shader autist are the same person.
>>11837270>pink arm tattoo faggotCongrats, you've played yourself.
so i catch several bans for joshing with the phone posters but this dude gets to shit all over the places with this shitty screenshots
impressive, sasuga jannoid
>>11837297>place*>these*not pajeet just sleep deprived
Should we play games designed for TVs on such small screens?
>>11837297I too wish they would just ban the idiot who keeps posting those shitty screenshots of his shitty filter, they look like shit.
>>11837304How small is your TV?
>>11837304Nobody prevents you from only playing GB(C)/GBA/NGP/PSP games on them. You could skip the entirety of home console titles, and still have hundreds of games to play.
>>11837192sure you're not lol
>>11837312It'd honestly be interesting to try playing some older games on those small buggers, especially since I think some of those tiny ones only display in black and white.
>>11837304I don't play snes games on them because i'm autistic and like how they look on a big screen with crt shaders
>>11837304I don't think they intended us to press our noses to the tv screen
Any sites for game reccs I wanna play a simple JRPG while taking walks.
man playing sports/action games like downhill domination on the flip2 does not feel great. You have to have your thumb straight on the analogue stick to do a backflip and most of the time it ends up being an awkward 180/360 flip. I feel like the flip2 setup is more suited for jrpgs and the like than games with constant movement. What do you think?
Just got a trimui brick as my first handheld and it's been nice so far, especially the screen and the size is perfect for fitting in my pocket, but apparently they got rid of the metal backplate? Feels like plastic to me, but at least it doesn't seem to get hot, just a little warm. Main problem though is the shoulder buttons are wobbly as fuck. They work fine, but just touching them and moving the device around you get a bunch of clacking sounds as they wobble around. Makes it feel cheap as shit. Anyone else have this problem or know of a way to fix it?
>>11837484Have you tried different caps?
>>11837471That was my impression with RP5. Racing games were fine, action platformers were not that pleasant.
>>11837485Yeah I've tried all the caps and it doesn't seem to make much of a difference. The buttons underneath the caps themselves are pretty loose and wobbly. Just looked it up and apparently taking it apart and putting tape behind it might fix it somewhat, but goddamn what a pain
>>11837494does having a grip help? (if you have one) or is just the sticks' placement in general?
>>11837506No, I don't have a grip, but I imagine it would help. They are way too low for my liking, so with the extension of grips it should be much better.
Iโd probably emulate on my regular old switch if somebody bothered to make a joycon with a dpad on top
>>11837270>>11837273pink arm tattoo faggot hates shaders, he doesn't like anything other than sucking dicks
>>11837236Bitch does this look like /tv/? Fuck off
>>11837308I started using dot shader because of him. It really does look great.
>>11836658The retard has color correction in the emulator and shader, and the dot shader looks like shit regardless.
Use lcd3x or kio
>>11837638I like the warm pastel color instead of neon slop. He sounds based and you sound autistic
>>11837647Talking about yourself in the third person is really weird man
>>11837660wow what an own
why would you even bother posting that
8:7nigger you're genuinely the most annoying poster in these threads. Fuck off.
Every other shitposter at least brings something to the table, everything you post is worthless and so are you.
>>11837668Nobody is even talking about 8:7 yet here you are booty blasted days later
pathetic
>>11837668I'm still waiting on you to play a video game
>>11837672^this
>>11837304When I was a kid I played games on a 11" TV sitting around 8 feet away.
I think I can handle playing a handheld at arms reach.
continue to do it for no monetary compensation
>>11836574So far I don't have any complains with the pocket classic's Saturn emulation.
Does anybody else play with no filters and shaders? I get that those make it seem more authentic but whenever I try to set it up, I canโt decide which one looks โrightโ, I just wanna play the fucking game but I already spent like 10 minutes screwing around with this
>>11837772It depends. Handheld games look better with shaders, or at least color correction for GBA imo. But console games made for larger screens tend to work just fine without them.
You just have to use decent shaders like
>>11826143 and not bad shaders like
>>11836593.
>>11837779>like >>11826143That looks WAY too dark, is that supposed to emulate non-lit OG GBA?
>>11837676Both are correct. Playing goymes is gay btw.
>>11837672The 8:7 poster and filter tard are the same person.
It's here. Even got (unintentionally) buds in the matching color.
>>11837812Why the headphones intentionally out of the box?
>>11837816I was using them when I got a package.
>>11837772it doesn't take that long to find a nice preset.
I'm with you on not tinkering autistically for hours but for the 5 mins of work it takes to setup i think it's worth it.
>>11837812Sorry bud but nicehckek are mogged by BLUE VIDO
Think we'll ever see an ergonomic centric attempt at a DS clamshell? They're already thick and large anyway, it'd hardly affect pocketability.
>>11837772Try newpixie for 3D PS1 games
Try mini ultra trinitron for 2D and SNES games
For handheld games the LCD shaders in the handheld folder in retroarch is great otherwise just try the named handheld shader depending on the handheld you're playing
>>11837830This looks okay, but I don't like how much it darkens the edges, especially the bottom of the screen, trying to emulate a CRT's curve.
>>11837772Me but I play on my crt :^)
>>11837672You didn't see the twenty posts by him that a janitor had to delete from last night.
Except for this one because he reposted it for whatever retarded reason;
>>11837720
>>11837845Don't really care, especially not for 2 bucks. Got them to pad Bundle deals, using exclusively to listen to some lad blabbing while I fall asleep. Got much better gear for music.
>>11837858i agree, I'm not a big fan of the curving that a lot of CRT filters do but you can turn it off in retroarch at least, i just can't be bothered to mess with the settings.
>>11837876That's just a controller.
>>11837772I don't use either outside of on the GBA mode of my 35XX-SP to deal with the non-perfect integer scaling. I would experiment if screen captures didn't include them in integer scaled screenshots and no, I'm not taking native resolution screenshots.
>>11837880She's obese, but she knows what she's doing.
>>11837772Lemuroid is pretty nice
>Open source & supports many console emulations>Set my display filters to "auto" or "CRT">It just werkzIt's like Retroarch but no autistic tinkering needed
>>11837812Colors are very close. Cool, cool.
>>11837989How pocketable is it. does it feel comfortable enough to sit down in your pocket?
>>11838065I just tried it with some pretty loose shorts I was wearing. It's not uncomfortable, but you're aware of it at all times.
>>11836516But anon, without tape anon how would be be able to fix shitty handheld design? You do want to actually play your videogames don't you? Also what general doesn't have its resident posters? Delusional.
>>11838159i bought a brick, no need to tape shit :)
>>11838210I bought a legion go and I'm so far trying to figure out some way to not make its dpad total shit. Doesn't have accidental presses or anything but it's just way too recessed. I'd have to print something to fix it.
>>11838216Looks like I don't have to print my own shit, someone sells some xbox dpad adapters for the legion go on etsy. This will do.
Who here has the most handhelds?
Including chinkhelds and official releases.
>>11838321i own:
>game boy biverted>game boy light with ips screen mod because the original kicked the bucket and already replaced it once>game boy advance x2, one with ips and other with ita>game boy advance sp x2, one ags001 and one ags101>game boy micro x2>psp go>ps vita oled>3ds x3, 1 regular, 1 xl and a new small>rg351m>rg300x>trimui model s>trimui bricki don't think i have the most here, though.
>>11838321Sold a lot around Christmas.
Left with
>GBA SP that is beaten up to shit and was bought under a bridge from some shady character for $3>NDSL that was bought in the "by weight" section of a thrift store for $0.9>N2DSXL -- the only first party console I bought new ever>PS Vita 1000 -- still no idea why people like it, and PSP emulation is shit on it>Switch Lite with a modchip for playing BoTW that I ended up not launching even once>2 NDSiXL that I need replace screens on>RG CubeXX which is hands down the most comfortable handheld I own>Brick that just lives in my bag>RP Flip 2 to replace RP5 I didn't like the stick layout of
>>11837720this nigga booty blasted AF XD
>>11838383>>11838437Post pics, you dumbasses.
Anyone can say they own it.
You have to PROVE it.
>>11838519I can't be bothered to dig them all up. Here are the ones I have on my desk right now. Fuck off.
>>11835607The gb350 feels like a mid-level device i.e. like the anbernic xx series in its controls and hand feel. I enjoy using it, and I don't enjoy using cheap devices like the sf-2000. Its not really a great device for n64, but it's great for ps1 and under and I find myself picking it up more than my rg40xxv.
I don't understand people who don't seem to care about controls and build quality. The plastic, the d-pad accuracy, lack of button rattling, etc it's all good on the gb350.
>>11836731The controls aren't small, they're standard. Its a 4 inch screen maybe that's making you judge by eye incorrectly
>>11838557did you opt for a split keyboard just so you could fit more trash on your desk?
>>11838557You seem unorganized and disgusting.
I doubt you have any of the handhelds you claim. You're a nasty person.
>>11838557Ignoring the messy desk, goddamn the RP Flip 2 seems tiny. I thought it would be 3DS XL sized finally.
>>11838618Shit is smaller than a fucking DS Lite!
>>11838618It's not that far off in size from n2dsxl
>>11838615>I doubt you have any of the handhelds you claim.You should probably get your eyes checked then. They right there in the picture.
>>11838571>One stickIt's useless.
>>11838383>>11838519fine. here are all my nipponhelds. can't be bothered to fit my chinkhelds in the frame.
forgot to mention i had 2 dsi too.
the kingdom hearts one is a chink shell, i regret swapping the white original shell, even when it was far from pristine.
>>11838675Anon, the GB350 has two sticks.
hey anons.
which chinkheld would be ideal for 3ds emulation?
is the rg cube powerful enough for that?
my cousin wants to play some 3ds games but new 3ds's xl are expensive as fuck for some reason.
>>11838805anon...I have my GB350 right here...but do I need to do this...why are you even talking about a 'held if you don't know how to access pics of it...
>>11837772I spent hours looking for good shaders and finally landed on one that I like - a combo of shader and filter:
In game options:
>add shader -> shaders_glsl -> crt -> crtsim.glspThen under general settings -> video options:
>add filter -> blargg NTSCI might be getting the names wrong but you can prob figure it out. This is how I remember gaymin on my old tv.
>>11837850Let that sink in..
>>11838918>diamond buttons>baffling dpadBut why? Did the AI do this, or did you specify it?
>>11832697Can someone tell me what's going on with the joysticks here, it kind of looks like they're in-set?
Also the thumbcaps are cute..
>>11839204Yeah that's me, I removed the vita thumb sticks, kept the plastic housing, and popped these in. Still hoping in vain for CFW because you never know
>>11839215Oh, china handhelds are starting to use Vita sticks finally? That sounds awesome, how are they to use? Never liked the Joycon-style sticks that so many use, they're too big.
I just got the Miyoo Mini Plus the other day and I'm impressed with how the screen holds up for a $40 China slab. Pic related is the New 3DS XL, Steam Deck OLED, and Miyoo in that order. I can't believe how dogshit the 3DS looks, the only reason I keep it around is I hate emulating Citra for DS exclusives. When is someone going to make a DS clone that isn't a $1000 Ayaneo flop?
>>11839225They kinda suck tbqf famalampai. They can't be clicked (so no R3/L3), and they're small, so they don't have a lot of travel. Especially since they're very recessed into the housing on most designs.
>>11839235The DS version is the only one out of those three with proper colours, is this some sort of bait
>>11839235>>11839243The official player's guide that officially released with the game itself.
>>11839239Honestly hate L3/R3 so I don't mind that much lol. I can see travel being an issue with more precise 3D games like SM64 or F-Zero X yeah, but do you think they'd be suitable for games that use more "casual" use of the joysticks, for lack of a better term? ie ones that don't demand as much precise/fine input - or are they just plainly too uncomfortable for that even?
>>11839202The diamond buttons are right, They allow for a six button array which places the main four button 'diamond' as close to the edge as possible while allowing thumb angle comfort. The added benefit of the diamond button shape is the long/high footprint, where it can be pressed in differing hand positions while being compact.
The Dpad is up to AI interpretation somewhat and I have genned better but will say that this would probably be an accurate estimation of my 'oversized 8-way Vita' design.
It's supposed to be somewhere between Saturn and Vita.
>>11839243>>11839248I thought it looked kind of saturated. I figured the 3DS had the same problem with the Virtual Console that the Wii U did where it over-corrected the colors or something.
>>11835505 (OP)>tfw 2025>still no $100 PS2-capable 4:3 chinkheld
Which handheld is your favorite horizontal? Do you prefer to have the thumb stick above the d-pad or below?
>>11839249I have a TSP and its Vita(-style) sticks are the least pleasant to use of all my handhelds (including a Deck, which only technically qualifies).
>>11839287That shit ain't happening until maybe 2030, assuming Anbernic is still alive by that point and the RG477M equivalent goes for that cheap.
>>11839287Problem is due to aethersx2 dude being a huge faggot and software problems rather than power really at this point.
>>11839349>That shit ain't happening until maybe 2030Damn, that sucks
>>11839351>Problem is due to aethersx2 dude being a huge faggotHow about linux chinkheld?
i heard pcsx2 is better
I don't play immersive games on handhelds
>>11839397>i heard pcsx2 is betterOnly on X86, ARM shit one's pants on linux, well on everything in general.
>>11839437Why not? You can't get sucked into the game, I've tried
Is a rg35xx h for 48 usd (includes tax and shipping) a decent ish deal? ive always wanted one because that shape was really popular for awhile. very temping..
>>11839658You shouldn't spend money on H700 e-waste
>>11839658Not a killer deal, but a fair price for what you're getting.
>>11839658the dpad is a bit stiff but apart from that no problems with it. Screen is good, comfy to hold, MuOS just werks
>>11839661>e-wastewho let Greta onto the board?
>>11839658Itโs a decent all-rounder but doesnโt really stand out. It doesnโt nostalgiabait by aping any handheld/console design and most of its features are kinda the standard now
/vr/os, I have a confession to make.
I've become the very thing I detest.
A coomlector.
I've realized I now own 5 handhelds (well, the Deck is a handheld only by technicality, but still).
>>11839957If you actually play them all at least once in a while, you are fine. Itโs when taking pictures of them and putting them on a shelf is all you do that it becomes a problem
Out of sheer curiosity, is there a chinkheld with a GB micro/DS lite-like dpad?
man the 2S really does just kick ass.
the speakers, the screen, the sticks and triggers, for how little it costs it just feels like a handheld straight from a major manufacturer themselves.
it's like they knew they made something to good for $80 - 100 so of course it had to stop being made.
metal slug, street fighter and pretty much most arcade games just look so fucking good on it.
>>11839287you've been spoilt.
the fact you can buy a decent quality handheld capable of play up to PS1 / N64 for sub $100 nowadays will always blow my mind.
I think about giving something like that to myself as a teenager in the early 00's and I think I'd legit cum in my pants.
>>11839658That's roughly what I paid.
>The d-pad is painful to use after an hour or two because the plastic is just so stiff, and if you're playing something d-pad heavy it's not going to be a fun experience.>The sticks have issues but I can't remember what it was specifically.I think the issue was it had either bad deadzones or functioned just like a d-pad and it was some issue on a hardware level? It's been a while since I saw what the issue was.
>L2 and R2 are okay but not great if you need to use them quickly or if you need to hold them like to strafe.>Screen is beautiful for things like PS1 games.I'd personally recommend something like the RG40XX-H at this point since it addressed some of the issues with the RG35XX-H with the only flaw being it gets hot at the back.
>>11840154Either an expensive Android based device or buy a New Nintendo 3DS LL from Japan with a proxy service on Yahoo Auctions Japan.
>>11839978But /vr/ told me you've only ever played games if you stop and take pics like a woman.
>>11840193Bitch you can't even name a fucking game. The only game you've ever talked about was some not retro Gen alpha iPad tier goyslop
>>11840241Jackie Chan Stuntmaster
Jackie Chan in Fists of Fire
Hong Kong 97
>>11839957Only 5?
lol weak.
>>11840189completely forgot about that and i used buyee before.
but whatever, my cousin seems interested on a used switch, so i guess she'll buy that instead. all she wants is an animal crossing machine.
Why does talking about game boys deserve it's own general and what the hell do you have to say about it that it needs this many threads?
>>11840259Why the fuck would anyone hold your hand and answer your inanely retarded question when you're already self-admittingly illiterate?
is the retroid pocket mini more stable on dolphin than the pocket 2S? Mine crashes randomly while playing animal crossing which makes it basically unplayable (especially since that game really doesn't play nicely with save states). If a more powerful device would run it for long periods without crashing then I could be interested. note the long periods however, all those yt videos of people playing a game for 5 minutes are pointless here as the problem occurs after 20-30 min. Looking for someone who has actually spent a good chunk of time playing GC animal crossing on an emu handheld that can confirm.
>>11840259it's people discussing what new chinkshit emulation handheld they will buy, comparing features of powerful portable game devices they will photograph for upboats and then promptly never fucking use.
I just bought an Odin 2 Portal.
What's a good smaller handheld that I can also get?
>>11840325IIRC it's the dual core setting that makes Dolphin more crash prone, which is why it defaults to off. Find someone who has it to confirm it though.
>>11840328>they will photograph for upboatsAre you lost?
Can any of you recommend me some COOL and BASED Crt shaders to use in Retroarch on the deck? Specially for N64, PSX, PS2, Snes and Genesis. Anything that doesn't make the poor thing splode and burn, currently I'm using VHS_Pro or something on 64, But I don't like how it looks in anything but 64
>>118404123D games should just be upscaled.
crt slot mask for 2d
or handheld dot shader if you don't care about authenticity and just want something that looks superior to the original
>>11840154>>11838801I dont think the RG Cube would be powerful enough for most 3DS emulation. Or you could play some lighter games, but it wouldn't be comfortable at all due to the small screen. Maybe something with a Snapdragon 8 Gen 2?
>>11840325as the other anon has said, enabling dual core causes games to crash regardless, mine even crashed on my PC until i disabled that setting.
>>11840325Just play N64 Animal Crossing or the DS game.
>>11840858DS and 3DS are my favourite versions by far.
the new way to play genesis! better pick one up before it's too late!
>>11840438>or handheld dot shaderThat looks like shit
>>11840412use fake-crt-geom and disable the stupid curvature and vignetting. feel free to play with the other settings.
I currently have an RG35XXSP, but I don't really like how PS1 games look on it. What would be the next upgrade from it, if all I really want is a larger screen?
>>11840981>he's retarded and genuinely uses it like this>he was paid to demo it like this>it's satirewhich is it?
>>11841096RG40XX V or H if you're ok with non flippy, Retroid Pocket Flip 2 if you really really want flippy (there aren't many other options for large screen clamshells)
>>11841096Don't waste your money on tiny incremental upgrades, you're just going to be disappointed and then you'll waste your money a third time
>>11841112It doesn't need to be claimshell. I'm just getting old and need a larger screen I think.
>>11841121What do you suggest then? The other anon suggests the RG40XX but is there something better than that I can get? I'm not looking for a retroid pocket 5 since all I'm playing are PS1 titles, just a nicer and/or larger screen.
>>11841129>What do you suggest then?Put your glasses on, gramps
>>11841129retroid pocket flip 2 and turn on a lot of shaders.
>>11841129RG40XX V/H if you're just after a larger screen at the right aspect ratio for PS1
Retroid Whatever if you want more dots on the screen, but the aspect ratio won't be right for PS1 (but overlays mitigate this)
Steam Deck if you've lost your mind
>>11841096Unless you get a screen with a higher resolution, it isn't worth it.
>>11841104(D) All of the above
>>11841135No
>>11841151>Steam Deck if you've lost your mindWhy is that the "lost your mind" option?
someone posted a bunch of modern games for retro systems a few months ago and I finally went through it and got rid of over 1,600 duplicates, translations/re-releases, unfinished prototypes, and shit games. this pruned collection is much easier to look through, and I've also kept a bunch of games that didn't make my standards but not totally terrible in the "junk" folder.
https://files.catbox.moe/2jwr5w.zip
>>11841175>Why is that the "lost your mind" option?Because buying a steam deck for PS1 is slightly overkill
I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I'm using Knulli on the RG35XXSP. I'm playing Legend of Dragoon on it, made a in game save but when I turned the game back on there was no save file. This same thing happened to me when I tried playing the game on my hacked switch. What am I doing wrong here?
>>11840981thats how you play tate on the one 35
>>11841096Looking at Retrosizer, the only way you're going to get considerably larger picture are the handheld PCs like the Deck or the Odins.
>>11841209If you're using retroarch, it needs to close correctly to write the save to a real file on the sd card. Turning the system off doesn't do that, look into whatever hotkey Knulli uses for it
>>11839256So vertical cascade six button placement, like the Xbox Duke?
Pic rel - I think the GPD Clamshells could benefit from modular controls. Imagine putting a trackball module in the place of the right analog, shit could be cash.
>>11841231Or it could be a poor, unergonomic choice for six button placement like this.
>>11841129>I'm just getting oldno, you are just getting the zoom virus.
i can still play perfectly fine on my gameboy micro.
>>11841220Looks like that was it. I find it very stupid that's how it works, but I'm not smart enough to program anything so who am I to judge. Thanks.
>>11841254>A shit screen size is usable because it appeals to my ipod fetishMicrosloppers disgust me
>>11841260>I find it very stupid that's how it worksThere's an option to have it do it in intervals. You can't set it through Knulli's frontend but you can do it in Retroarch itself.
>Function + B>Back out so you're at the main menu.>Settings>Saving>Scroll down until you see "SaveRAM Autosave Interval".>Set it to about 300 seconds (5 minutes).>Back out to the main menu.>Configuration File>"Save Current Configuration"If it yells as you then go to Quick Menu, then Overrides, and then "Save Core Overrides". If it complains about being unable to do it then scroll to the bottom and "Remove Core Overrides" before trying again.
The reason it's not on by default is because it means it'll constantly be writing to your MicroSD card, but since these are such small files it's not as big of an issue.
>>11841260People have tried to implement that and been turned down, according to retroarch devs some games write to the ram allocated for saving constantly as additional memory and recording would wear down SD cards. There's an option somewhere to autosave on on a given interval but that doesn't help the most common situation of "save game and immediately shut off the console" This has been an issue for ages and likely will be forever.
See here for more https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/issues/4901#issuecomment-300888019
>>11840981Can you feel the MAGIC?
>>11841296It should just boot into Drastic DESU
>>11841139>turn on a lot of shadersDo retroons really
>>11841293>The reason it's not on by default is because it means it'll constantly be writing to your MicroSD card, but since these are such small files it's not as big of an issue.nope, the autosave function checks if the save is different first.
https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/blob/master/save.c#L93
the only reason to keep it disabled by default is to get a minuscule (not as minuscule if you have compressed saves on) performance gain.
>>11841189God bless your autism
>>11841313>device is hard locked to Drastic>Russ makes a tutorial on how you can run the NDS's Genesis emulator>the timeline remains the same because sideways Genesis is a fixed point in time
>>11840000Quads of veracity.
>>11840412bezel/koko-aio
>>11840000I really regret selling my 2S. If I knew it was going to be discontinued so fast, I would have kept it. It was a great handheld, I just mostly play GBA romhacks so I wanted something with a widescreen.
>>11841410>"PS2 and GameCube are playable"
>>11841549(softly) Don't.
>buy flip2
>only play gba games like I was on my 35xx+
>realise all console games don't translate well onto the small screen
>>11841625>small screenI play plenty of GBA on Flop 2 but I wouldn't consider the screen too small for console games at all
>>11841629yeah maybe they do, what games have you played the most since you've owned a chinese handheld?
for me i've mostly played gb (cave noire), gbc (star ocean, metal gear solid, grandia, zelda games etc), gba (everything), ngp (pocket tennis, faselei, unitron), ws (makaitoushi saga, klonoa, dicing knight, dark arms). Seems like I've inadvertently focused on handheld games
>>11841636I can see handhelds 'fitting' better compared to consoles, not sure PS2 on a 3 inch screen would be fun.
But I've played Alien Trilogy, Castlevania SOTN, Battle Arena Toshinden and Road Rash for the PS1 on the RG40XX H with no problems, screen is a tiny bit bigger though
>>11841636Xenosaga I, Bravely Second, Cave Story 3D, SM3DW, MKWii, MKDS, MKDD, Pokemon romhacks (GBC, GBA, NDS), Wipeout 3 and Pure, Crisis Core, PS1 FF trilogy, FF XII, FF X, Ranger X, Kinogears, Kirby RTDL, Animal Crossing, SM64, Banjo, Spyro, I made a point to play a decent variety just for the sake of it and a lot of those are ones I started on the RP4P and continued on the Flop 2.

This looks so fucking stupid lmao.
DS lite/DSi's aren't even that expensive and you get the sleep function.
>Magic screen is smaller than even the smallest DS screen
Is it actually over?
>>11841702i really cant believe that at no point in its development did anyone at magicx think "the screen being smaller than every DS is probably dealbreaker"
>>11841696Russ just lost his korean audience
The sideways thing works better ergonomically if you flip it the other way so face buttons are on the right and you can use the stick instead of the dpad.
>>11841696I got a DS Lite for $30 and it still all works fine.
Really don't see why we need a "DS Retro" console when the DS range is still fine even today.
>>11841709I reckon most chinkheld products are designed around whatever cheap components they can get their hands on in bulk, not necessarily designed around something that makes sense to use
>>11841717It's for people who either don't know they could just buy a DS or people who want gimmick devices just for the sake of it.
>>11841726Yeah, Cheap DS Lite with AliExpress R4 card works a treat.
>>11841720yeah on discord they mentioned that they went with the screen it has rather than a larger 5 inch screen because it wasnt as "cost effective" but frankly without it its just totally dead in the water, no matter how comfortable it is to hold and no matter how good the stick is
>>11841729On the topic of cheap R4 cards.
Why the fuck are they still using some shit outdated R4 kernel that still needs manual patches for Black 2 etc.
How come no one has made an updated kernel that supports all games that work on these shitty flashcards.
>>11841807Ignore the cheap R4 cards they are shit.
Even WoodR4 is shit.
If you have a lite, get a DSOne clone then get the DSOne FW.
Every single game works out of the box without needing to manually patch some roms for anti piracy.
There are two downsides though I fear.
1. It will autoboot into the flashcart.
Not really a big deal for me having it autoboot into the cart is kind of neat and if you wanted slot2 theres a nds file that will boot into Slot 2 anyways.
2. Won't work on stock DSi.
If you have a DSi and want to use it you'd have to hack it which is pretty easy in itself and allows you to run any kind of flashcart anyways.
Not a fan of Twilight Menu in any capacity. I think it's neat for DS off SD but some games still have dumb issues and you get the red screen of RAM errors pretty constantly when using cheats on top of them. So I think this is the best way to go.
Though looking now you can't seem to find them anymore sadly so this whole post is meaningless.
>>11841189This is extremely nice of you, anon. Thanks.
>>11841870NTA, but thanks for the info. I will have to archive this thread locally once it reaches eol, has a lot of good info.
I have a working DSTT, haven't run into any issues yet, but I might order a DSOne clone now just so I have a backup.
>>11841890Sadly it seems like the DSOne clones have all disappeared from AliExpress for some reason
I still own one and use one and it's a dream but kind of sad really.
I guess the next best thing would be to get an Ace3DS X then.
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005616167352.html
>>11841901But looking through the FW that uses WoodR4 too.
Damn. Shit out of luck.
Basically WoodR4 or nothing.
>>11841901Yeah, I also just discovered they disappeared. Guess I'll stick to DSTT and hope it doesn't shit itself.
>>11841696>DS Lites aren't that expensiveShit, where are you looking? Anything below $50 I've ever seen is either beat to hell or has yellowing screens. Only reason why that weird Magic thing is tempting.
Never had a 3DS and was recently got curious about it to get into the modding scene, but how the fuck do I even buy one that isn't damaged in some way
>>11841870Nice screenshot. Yet they call iPhone users stupid.
>>11842182Because you are.
>>11842185Type your response in the reply field, screenshot your phone, and post the screenshot as your message.
>>11842154japan is cheapest, but screen yellowing is a thing
honestly, i don't recommend it given prices nowadays
>>11842190I could do that and you'd still be stupid.
>>11842132yeah why not, does everything up to PS1 well
>>11842132I sold mine because the buttons were quite hard to press and I got tired right away, do you know if this was improved in the revision?
>>11842132What are you intending to play on it?
>>11842208How much of a poofter do you need to be to get worn out by buttons, fucking hell mate
PS1/N64 and everything that predates it, along with some portmaster. I plan on taking advantage of the HDMI out with a bluetooth pad, not just using it as a gba
>>11842218>N64We got another one, boys.
>>11842218Was meant to reply to this
>>11842218 on second sentence
>>11842218>N64Forget about it
>PS1With no sticks?
>>11842220TrimuUI runs n64 games pretty well, I assumed this wouldn't be any different since I think it has slightly better specs? Not interested in the entire library, mind you.
>>11842224Read the rest of the sentence. Plan on using it as a portable retro console, not just a gba
>>11842224Can play most ps1 games just fine with no sticks, especially if you're mostly interested in rpg's
>>11842224>With no sticks?
>TrimuUI runs n64 games pretty well
russ levels of n64 playability copium come on now
>>11842226>TrimuUI runs n64 games pretty wellNo, you've seen it run OoT or SM64 and assumed that translates to the rest of the library.
>>11842218N64 aside, even PS1 can be a bit of a struggle at times.
>>11842218>How much of a poofter do you need to be to get worn out by buttons, fucking hell mateJust not ergonomic I meant, the RG40XXH is fine, I would like those buttons on the RG35XXSP.
>>11842243No, I used it to play sm64 and OoT and the rest of the library doesn't really matter, does it
>>11842239If you use crossmix OS N64 is fine on the TrimUI
>>11842245Any games in mind or are you struggling with 2x res?
>>11842248>and the rest of the library doesn't really matter, does it(You)
>>11842254Had a few chugging moments in FF9
>>11842257Interesting. You had performance governor on? I find PS1 doesn't ramp up fast enough under on-demand.
>>11842257Did you have an overly demanding shader on?
>>11842261I don't remember, I gave up on PS1 pretty quick and now I only use it for GBA.
>>11842264Shaders off.
Keep in mind when I said it was a struggle, it wasn't chugging all the time and I would generally consider it mostly playable, just not amazing. Definitely not worth spending money to specifically play PS1 games on, that's for fucking sure.

I don't know what the fuck it was, but DIMPS was great when it came to Sonic Advance 1, 2, and 3 but then totally shit the bed with Sonic Rush, Rush Adventure, Colors DS, and the historically worst modern Sonic games ever made, Sonic 4 Episode 1 & 2 (which is literally just 1:1 Sonic Rush with the boost mechanic removed).
Like holy fucking shit, going from Sonic Advance 3 to Sonic Rush back in the day was so fucking jarring.

>>11842749Sonic Rush is just a shitty title to demonstrate this with.
Better to use a game, like, Mystical Ninja DS that properly utilizes both screens at once for segments.

>>11842725That Magic review has started a revolution.
>>11842226>TrimuUI runs n64 games pretty wellNo it absolutely does not. Pokemon Snap literally has Pokemon spawn in with no faces while running at 10 FPS and even if you take pictures of the Pokemon it doesn't grant you points or even consider them valid targets. If you use I think it was ParallelN64 it instead has the entire background unloaded and the ocean running up onto the tracks for some reason.
Pokemon Puzzle League Challenge has the audio complete broken, the menus visually broken, and it runs at like 10 FPS no matter the core or emulator.
Hydro Thunder runs at like 5 FPS and the audio is entirely broken.
F-Zero X runs with constant frame drops.
N64 is borderline unplayable on anything under $100.
>>11841696whats this systems power level? can it play 3ds? cuz if so, then its not that bad a design idea.
>>11843040>can it play 3ds?Not even close

I need a good aliexpress deal to waste money on but nothing sticks out to me.
>>11843037>Pokemon Snapnta but snap is notoriously one of the hardest n64 games to get working right
i love that game, and even pc emulators keep breaking it
I once saw a shader that filled in the borders of a screen with a blurred version of the game without actually stretching it past it's native aspect ratio. It basically looks like this youtube extension often used for ultrawide monitors: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvOVJ7AQYWw
Anyone know what it's called?
>>11843127It's called the baiting phoneposter shader.
i configured neko project 2 kai on my brick.
it runs ok.
>>11843165Is it normal for it to always run 2hu at 56 fps? Am I doing something wrong?
>>11843165Based.
It runs alright here too, but it's mostly a cool novelty to have the PC-98 games in a portable formfactor.
Anyone know how to get the touhou games properly working on trimui? Been having a lot of fun with tate shooters on it
This is how you play DS on Odin 2 Portal if you're cool.
>>11843198>>11843212Have you set the CPU Feature to a later one like the Intel Pentium 4 and set the CPU Clock Multiplier to like 10? The latter you could probably play with to see what works per game. That's all the advice I've got. I don't really know much about this either.
>>11842890The fuck are you doing?
Rp4p can easily handle mednafen hw and a full kio ntsc shader stack. But on 720p displays I usually prefer crt-easymode, 1 tap or one of the lottes
>>11842325How is it that not a single person has noticed that android hdmi output has at the minimum 2 added frames of buffering
Top and bottom wont be synced up, I noticed they only show off games where the 2nd screen is just a map etc
Maybe rocknix gets around this but this is such a jank ass solution compared to just playing in portrait mode for the handful of games that NEED the screens stacked.
>>11842606Crossmix is completely outdated compared to knulli right now
>>11843198that is the framerate. at least on neko project ii kai. it gives me the same on pc with a multiplier of 12.
on the brick, with a multiplier of 8 playing the title screen demos:
>the highly responsive to prayersruns fine.
>the story of easter wonderlandruns ok, it can get slow, especially when you bomb.
>phantasmagoria of dim dreamruns fine.
>lotus land storyruns ok, gets slow. may need to lower the multiplier for this one as it goes bellow 56 fps.
>mystic squareruns fine.
setting a higher multiplier just makes it drop frames as the cpu can't keep up with the emulation.
>>11843201i used my rg351m before and it runs just a little worse than the brick.

You missed a lot of good shit last week dude

>>11841636>>11841625PS1 / N64 racing games and platformers scale decent enough.
i couldn't imagine trying to play shit like FF7 or any non-GBA RPG on a chinkheld though.
I bought this DSTwo like over 15 years ago.
Still works.
Who needs that Magic thing.
>>11843361based.
dsi + dstwo is the best combo.
>>11843371I was worried my DSTwo was starting to fail as I had to slot it in and out a lot to get it to work.
It was just dirty I guess.
Carefully opened it up and gave it an IPA bath and scrubbed contacts and it works as if it was new.
>>11843361I stopped using my DSTwo because it drained the battery like crazy.
Loved the thing back in the day, but there's no reason to not just run TwilightMenu from the SD card now.
>>11843381Except Twilight Menu has shit compatibility where as DSTwo supports every game?
Or that using cheats in TwilightMenu results in red RAM errors.
Or using rom hacks or translated ROMs also have the possibility of red RAM errors.
Iโll stick to my flash cart that I know works completely fine.
>>11843409I've yet to have problems with it, outside of GBARunner.
>>11843381>I stopped using my DSTwo because it drained the battery like crazy.only on the main menu when it's pretending to be a valid game.
once you are in a game, the drain is the same as any other cart.
>>11843418i don't know if that's true
>>11843418This is what it feels like to me.
I have my DSTwo and I also have a legit copy of Pokemon Platinum.
Both seem to have the same amount of game time in my experience.
>>11842224>>PS1>With no sticks?zoomer pretending to be millennial detected
>>11843480I wish I was younger, but alas.
When I and my friends started getting PS1s they all came with a Dualshocks already in the box. And I can't imagine playing GT (or any other racing game), or one of the billion platformers on it with a d-pad.
>>11843241knulli is worse than crossmix/stock, because it's not an acutal cfw. It has the exact same problems with portmaster while psp and n64 run worse. Gamma's the only one with performance gains since these allwinner chips were always meant for android. But with 1gb of ram, you're not gonna have a good time.
>>11843240>Alternative timeline where Skynet decided the Xbox360 controller had analogs in the lower position and a NeoGeo clicky circle dpad..Don't tempt me to build that time machine, Arnie.
>>11843270You never grew up with handhelds before the DS
>>11843671Thats completely untrue
You may have to switch cores around per game but n64 is overall fine on tsp w/knulli
My biggest problem game was MM but 2ship runs very well on the tsp.
Wish I could say the same for starship.
Not sure what you're expecting out of an all-loser a1337 though, its only barely above a 3326

Going to Shanghai soon, is there a place I could hit up for handhelds?
For the RG35XX line, what OS do you like to use?
>>11843828I saw Max Zhou at a wet market in Shenzhen yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didnโt want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, โOh, like youโre doing now?โ
I was taken aback, and all I could say was โHuh?โ but he kept cutting me off and going โhuh? huh? huh?โ and closing his RG34XX SP shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen H700 chips in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like โSir, you need to pay for those first.โ At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the H700s and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually โto prevent any electrical infetterence,โ and then turned around and winked at me. I donโt even think thatโs a word. After she scanned each chip and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by dropping it on a child.
Should I get a (2nd hand) T820 device, now that GammaOS Next will be launching for them?
These handhelds are a rabbit hole.
Eventually you are just like "I wish these things had more power." So you buy the next powerful thing.
Happened to me.
RG35XX > RG405M > Retroid Pocket 5 > ROG Ally X
I still have a cheap RG35XX Plus on the side I got but yeah thats how it went for me.
>>11844005I don't find power to be an issue, but portability and compactness are. RP5 plays everything I'm interested in and much more, and it's just the right size. I'm done with this now.
I got a powkiddy v90 a while ago then a TSP, and the TSP is super comfy to play, but eve since the 1.18 PPSSPP update the thing feels like its been upgraded. I don't need frameskip on P3rd at x2 res anymore, Peace Walker no longer crashes (and hits the 20fps cap), Outrun is finally stable (admittedly with frameskip).
I had a similar experience when I upgrade the v90 OS and emulators and suddenly it ran SNES without a hitch, but I'm just in awe how much a single emu version can change performance
>>11844010I liked the RP5 initially, it could play all I wanted thatโs for sure. But it just felt too cramped, the ergonomics suck. You certainly need a grip for it.
But eventually I wanted to play Modded Stardew and android version was pretty limited on the mods you can use and winulator would shit the bed if you dare attempted adding mods to SD. So ROG Ally X was the right choice for me. Now playing Modded Fallout New Vegas in 1080p 60fps.
>>11844005It's fine if you are clear on exactly what you want it for and just buy just one handheld that can comfortably play what you want to play. The main issue I see is that a lot of people tend to lie about what these handhelds are capable of, maybe out of ignorance. It's better to have plenty of headroom in terms of performance.
>>11844005I was content with my RG35XX-H until the RG35XX-SP and then RG34XX popped out which I got specifically for the GBA form factor. Past that I've had no want for anything but a Steam Deck 2 when that happens to cover the entire gamut of N64 and up along with the MagicX Zero 40, but if the Zero 40 doesn't run MelonDS or DeSmuME as well as Drastic I'd rather wait for an iteration on it so it can.
I think once you find the specific machines you are primarily going to be working with and said machines also work well on stuff below that you're mostly golden. In general you should have your weak under $100 device that can cover one specific device you want to primarily play on, some interim device that's not huge but also not a handheld PC that's about $150ish, and then your handheld PC. I think that covers every form factor and strength ratio you would really need. At this point all I want is a Wonderswan copy and I'd be golden.
For me I got tired of tinkering with handhelds so I ended up down the original hardware rabbit hole.
Is DSi the best version of DS if I don't need GBA support?
>>11844094Easy to hack and you can still play GBA roms via GBARunner
>>11844097>>11844103>>11844108I've been trying to replace the fucked up touchscreen on my DS lite and ended up breaking the connector, maybe I should just forget about it and get a DSi after all
>>11843837MuOS or Knulli, try both for a bit and see what you like
>>11843968Lazy fuck does fuckall, I will not believe in it until I see it.
>>11844005I went in a completely different order:
Deck -> R36S -> RP5 -> CubeXX
I tried a lot of similarly powered handhelds in the meantime, but settled on
Flip2+CubeXX+Brick
>>11844272>>11843968I will coom if he pulls off a proper emmc lineage build on the rp4p
>>11837587hmmmmm I should try this on my 34XXSP
been using LCD3X
Anybody take their RG34XXSP apart yet? I still havenโt seen any pics of the dpadโs underside
>>11844272Apparently there's an early build available for $10 paypigs on his 'treon.
>>11844313I will repeat myself: until I see it running with my own eyes on a t820 device, I'm not going to believe it exists and works.
>>11844281Thanks, enjoying it too. Sick of the same three Nintendo console ripoff color schemes, black and white isn't doing it for me. Waiting when manufacturers will pay more attention to N64 color variants instead of the usual combo of GC, SNES and GB.
R36S does it right, but I don't want any of them anymore.
Why do so few of those support RTC? Does anything besides Anbernic even have it?
>>11844352Which modern linux chinkheld doesn't support rtc aside from maybe sjgam? Even the smart pro has rtc support.
>>11844293The absence of teardowns is one of the reasons I think this thing didn't do well. Anyway, here you go, got tired of being forced to grab my fffucking telephone to watch it in 1080p and downloaded it.

>>11844293For what it's worth, I have it and I think the dpad is decent (clicky and decent tactility, very easy to actuate, high-raised buttons) .
I just wish the dpad itself is wider though.
>>11843828>Going to Shanghai soon, is there a place I could hit up for handhelds?no
everyone buys online from taobao nowadays since its so fast and most sellers have an 7-day no questions asked refund policy
>>11844374Bless you, anon. Still that looks EXACTLY like RG35XXSPโs dpad from below, I wonder why they kept those pointy nubs
>>11840357>>11840734thanks for the info. unfortunately turning off dual core makes AC barely run. I will have to look into settings for low end machines, or probably just have to get a stronger unit.
Why is Ayaneo the only option for a powerful small handheld?
>>11844609only them have the balls to do it.
too bad the customers also need to have the money to buy their expensive shit. so they don't fly from the shelves like less powerful devices do.
>>11843859Our hero would never
>>11844686I see the ayaneo air plusvfor 270.
Greenpill me on it so I don't make a stupid decision. (Rpgmaker, fan translated shit, and 7th gen stuff on low settings)
Loving my MagicX 28 Zero Mini, but over time I'm now wishing I went with the solid smoke black version instead. Wish it came in orange spice like the Xu Mini M did.
>>11844778Why? What's wrong with a glacier color?
I wish zero40 came in some kind of similar color and not just borjng white or black.
>>11844784It might look better if the analog sticks weren't RockCandy white, but the big black bezel really contrasts when playing any game.
>want the Magic DS
>know that I would just play the games I already own and nothing else
FUCK
>>11844019>But it just felt too cramped, the ergonomics suck.That's why I like the Odin 2, it's just a bit bigger
Is it just me or does SNES universally suck on lower end devices
Like, these things can run GBA and PS1 no problem but then SNES drops frames and stutters.
It seems like a SNES version of picodrive should exist but it just doesn't yet.
>>11844543Cheaper than cloning the rest of the Flop, I take.
>>11844868Can't say I've had SNES choke yet, other than bad CFWs like RGB30 MinUI.
>>11844868It's more understandable when you look at the history of Snes emulators.
>>11844868>Is it just me or does SNES universally suck on lower end devicesyes, but actually no.
for example, on my trimui model s no chip games run fine.
games that use extensive mode 7 like f-zero can shug but work mostly fine.
anything that has an enhancing chip runs like crap.

>>11845393okay... lemme get this straight?
this is a cannibalized NGPC, with some custom PCB with emulation handheld hardware, with cannibalized carts serving as Microsds?
was the DPad THAT good? and why dont the handheld companies actually bother to make handhelds with the clicky dpad? why destroy perfectly good original consoles to make shoddy emu handhelds?
at least those who make consoles out of smartphones wait for their phones to become obsolete and useless BEFORE tearing them apart!
>>11845585?

How's emulation on it nowadays? What can I expect out of it?
Can I use netplay or local multiplayer with [insert chinese handheld here] assuming they're running the latest version of retroarch/the core?
>>11846092They might be. Chances are they're using some standard phone speakers, like with MM+ -- you can buy Redmi speakers for that one for arguably better bass.
Your best bet would be finding a disassembly video/doing it yourself, measuring the speaker and going through replacement phone speakers on Ali trying to find something that would fit and hope it will sound better.
Or just use cheap but good Chinese IEMs, like Tanchjim Bunny or something.
Picrel was $2, they sound very mediocre, but still better than speakers.
>>11846180nothing like wearing chifi iems with my chifi handheld
>>11846170>How's emulation on it nowadaysChain of memories gets pass the intro now and I think that top down medal of Honor actually plays so that's nice. For emulation, I mostly use mine for easyrpg and shadowrun. I can't answer your question on netplay since I haven't even tested it on my chinkheld/phone
>>11846196Synergy!

Where did the SuperCard DSTWO battery drain rumour start?
I donโt know if I am lucky or something but the Flashcard doesnโt drain my battery much compared to a normal DS cart.
People even said it drains battery even with the DS off but I have left my DSTwo in my fully charged DSi and came back 3 days later and it was still fully charged.
>>11846504>Where did the SuperCard DSTWO battery drain rumour start? Power consumption comparisons from when it released.
https://gbatemp.net/threads/comparing-ds-lite-and-dsi-xl-and-5-flashcards-power-consuming.261246/
It's not THE worst offender, but it is worse than not using a flashcart.
>>11846504I felt the drain on 3DS.
>>11846204Why is the Vitas emulation so hard to do? Wasn't it basically just smartphone hardware?
>>11846092did you do the jamesdsp fix and download the volumebooster app, fixed the sound issues on my RP5 so now it sounds good and it's loud.
>>11846276Absolute garbage monitor, light bleed, no VESA, retarded stand. But it was the first monitor I bought with my own money, I was in the rush to get something up and running and on a somewhat of a tight budget. Didn't understand the importance of VESA mount and had no idea about IPS light bleed at all.
At least it worked until I replaced it, unlike the LG I've got from work.
>>11846456I don't consider n2dsxl pocketable to begin with, so that's not an issue. And it's not a particularly good music player anyway, so whatever.
I would rather use something akin to ipod shuffle/nano (which I do with Echo Mini).
>>11846561My guess would be no one cares too much. Switch emulation was moving at the breakneck pace, so much that Nintendo had to actually kill it themselves. And its hardware is very similar to vita in architecture.
>>11845958FEZ, like almost every other decent Vita game, was ported to the Switch. Just run it on Yuzu. What games, besides Gravity Rush, does Vita3k really need to run? Ratchet and Clank? Sly Cooper?
>>11846630Fez isn't a good game tho
>>11846630>Ratchet and ClankPlay it on PS2 or 3. No need for the Vita version.

>>11846630Fez is pretentious hipster shit.
>>11846504I got a DSTWO around when they came out, some of their marketing was advertising the extra chip on the card used to emulate other systems. When you play something likes SNES, there is more battery drain than normal. As a flashcart, I don't notice that much of a difference

>>11844005I bought an Odin 2 Pro last year and never had the urge to buy anything else. It's probably better to just buy something beefier to begin with instead of buying the sub-$100-200 devices.

>>11847398>Jews, the people who popularized cuckolding in sitcoms in the late 80'sStrange how he brought them up over being called brown. Could this be the first self hating white on /vr/? This has potential to be the most kino handheld thread in history if I can get this jewtuber to spill.
>>11847407>More projectingYou're a gay schizophrenic jew who watches YouTube all day and doesn't play video games No amount of projection can ever undue the damage that has been done. You've been exposed, and there's no coming back.
>>11847407>kekpeddling this hardlmao yeah, he definitely struck a nerve.
>>11847192that looks like shit
Why is everything on Amazon(Europe) so goddamn overpriced?
>>11847426>>11847445>Multireply meltdown to make it look like someone gives a shit about his gay kikeazoid shaders>Implying kikes watch youtube.Cant be russ... He may be a faggot, but he never did interracial cuck jokes. Cant be techdweeb either... Dweeb's too immature. Too... Childlike to care about those type of jokes in the first place... Stubbs is an acutal mongoloid and joey... He legit watches kike brown porn. Makes me think...
>>11847449K.b.c
>>11847473>blabbering about all the jew tubers he subscribes to and watches religiouslywhat a cringe faggot.
Also, jews are the most schizophrenic race, you're checking off every box
>>11847473Damn he was right, you really do just watch YouTube all day instead of playing video games.
big yikes
>>11847534>>11847542>Still doubleposting to make it look like someone gives a fuck about your slopshaders.>Gets assmad at the sloptubers he loves so much>Jews are the most [Almost Tru]Indians, Tree hugger spics, and coomer blacks in that order. Now as for who you are... Clearly mixed. Probably with a jew or a brown which twis the herd. While aggressive in nature, jewy made the most posts about interracial cuckold fantasies and defended them as "trolling" but stubbs uses them as "harmful jokes". The fact this brownoid jewish yidd creature defends his cuckold fetish is suspicious... And very familiar. Careful to anyone reading this. Kikes use confusion and delay in their tactics.
>>11847542>YikesWhen did these threads turn into reddit?
That dot shader looks like shit, a simple grid with a color correction filter looks better
>>11847614The grid also mimics an actual GBA screen
>>11847614Nah. Dot looks better on small screens.

>>11846979You seem to be having an inordinately strong and persistent emotional reaction to something doesn't affect you.
Would you like me to psychoanalyze you? I'll do it for free.
>>11838918If that's a 5" 4:3 screen as previously stated, my measurements read that device height as exactly 88mm. Is that even pocket-able?
>>11846684Reminder that this is not the first time he did that.
