Is there an on screen translation overlay app for android so I can translate emulated japanese games on the fly? Everyone online says google translate but it doesn't actually seem to have that functionality
Inb4
>learn Japanese
Japanese is really fucking hard

>>11909891
Don't most decent games have fan translations at this point?

Copypasting my questions from previous thread:

Hi /hbg/, I will receive my first chin..gloriouschinanumberone-held in coming days (gkd pixel 2)
I have a few questions tho:
>Is there any repository/list of non-gaming software for it? For instance I saw that Iceway music player which seems pretty nice
>Is there any way to use the console as a usb gamepad (for use with phone)
>Easiest way to program stuff for it?
>Game recommendations? Mostly interested in arcade-style games that doesn't rely much on savefiles, will probably try ketsui ds as first game

>>11909923
>live footage of this retard trying to play with his new handheld

>>11909923
>gkd pixel 2
I don't think many anons got this, it seemed to me a bit overpriced for a mini. You might not get many answers for the first three, check Discord?
For game recommendations I'd go with Parodius on the PS1, and it looks like it'd integer scale well with NES and Lynx too

>>11909923
I have a GKD Pixel 1, however this is going to apply to most chinkhelds:
if it has portmaster then you can get other software for it. if not, then you can't. any functionality or features not built in to the default OS don't exist. it's impossible to program anything for it because the chinks don't share all the proprietary libraries, drivers and dev tools and there is no documentation.

>>11909912
Not true at all

>>11909930
Holy shit is this real? I fucking NEED IT

>>11909930
PocketStation

>>11909930
Yeah, tiny handhelds are uncomfortable. Hell even the OG 3DS is too small for me
Also, I refuse to believe people buy vertical handhelds for any other reason that the aesthetic and nostalgia. Horizontal handhelds are objectively more comfortable

>>11909867 (OP)
>Budget device
>sporting a Snapdragon G3 Gen 3
I like Ayaneo devices, but it doesn't make sense for the Konkr Pocket Fit to be part of their "budget" line up.

>>11910070
Aya Neo has always been overpriced so it makes sense that their "budget" lineup is still overpriced just in a different tier.

>>11910030
I was assuming this was limited to games that would work on a tiny d-pad only handheld like the GKD Pixel. SNES/Genesis/GBA and below.

>>11909891
That's what "Anbernic AI" is supposed to be, but I don't know if it works well/at all.

>>11909930
source on this?

>>11909891
When people say "Use Google Translate" they mean open it up on your phone, switch to camera translation, and then hover it over the screen so that it automatically translates it or prop up your phone in a way that you can read it as you play.
RetroArch has a built-in AI translator but most people say it's pretty bad.

>>11910164
I have a device that has it installed, but the thing that sucks is that you of course have to sign up for its terms and conditions before you can use it. I'm not sure if I'm cool with the possibility that Max Zhou could see what hentai I have on it.

>>11910312
The CIA does so much worse with your data that you don't even consent to share, who gives a shit if Zheng knows you blast rope to Rottytops

>>11910278
Oh....now I feel dumb

>>11910312
Ambernic is so fucking shady lmao. I don't ever want to buy any of their shit but I kind of want an RG nano

>>11910527
buy an RG nano, put it on a chunky gold chain, ytmnd

I see there's a bgm.mp3 in the Miyoo Flip files
is it possible to add multiple like with the r36s or is it only possible to replace the one

also, while I like it, i definitely prefer the mesh buttons of the r36s and the clicky buttons of the trimui to whatever's going on in the Flip

What's everyone's play for this AliExpress sale? Less than a month to get cheap Chinese tendie machines before prices are no better than Amazon for a while. Think I'll finally secure the RP5 this time, almost $35 off with coupon + coins.

Suppose I don't care for Ape Escape, are the sticks on RG35XX Pro worth it over Plus? Or should I just go with the Plus and get a better, probably Android model later down the line?

>>11910973
>not caring for ape escape
>not playing your SNK games the way they were meant to be played

>>11910278
This is so obnoxious and retarded, I shouldn't need two whole physical devices to do what a single app ought to be capable of. It's not doable on a non-jailbroken iPhone, but nigdroid ought to be able to accomplish it.

I'm juust a broke ass nigga tryna game on the low with some nba jam, nhl'94, and sor2 on a cheap ass chinkheld under $20? which one? huh?

>>11911040
you should get the Data Frog SF2000 Handheld Game Player, 3 inch screen Built in 6000+ Retro Games
It does up to Switch and the SF stands for 'Simply Fantastic' so you know its good quality

>>11911045
How cheap can we go? This even has free shipping (at least to Canada):

>updated multicore to v0.4.6 on my sf2000
>GBA games actually run well now
>can’t save states anymore
>not just in GBA but all other platforms except for Genesis for some reason
Maybe my SD card is just fucked, I’m still using the shitty brandless one it came with but it’s still kinda weird it works with just Genesis games

>>11911067
that's weird, Genesis on budget chinkhelds always works fine. Even on those X series ones like the X12 Plus, which struggled with everything else

>>11909867 (OP)
>Handheld General
hand held?
i don need my stinkin hand HELD!
i caa figure the games out all on my own!
back in my day we had no color on our screen
it was all we had, and we LIKED IT.
we had to play outside with mud!

>>11911072
No, I mean saving states worked ONLY for Genesis. Trying to save in others gives me the “archive save failed, check TF card” error. Someone on reddit said renaming the “saves” folders to “save” helped but changing the one in the root didn’t help and all of the individual save folders on mine were already named correctly

Does V90S have any severe issues? The only problem I’ve seen mentioned so far is the lack of an audio jack and I don’t really use headphones with handhelds anyway. Other than that it looks like the safest clamshell so far
>copied GBA SP hinge instead of trying to reinvent the wheel
>buttons don’t pierce the membranes/pads

What's the best bang for your buck with an oled screen that's portable enough to throw into a backpack?

>>11911118
What kind of things do you want to be able to do with it? Do you want something vertical, horizontal, clamshell, etc? Is $200-$300 still considered bang for your buck if it means emulating up to Switch, or do you mean you want to spend <$150?

>>11911076
oh, weird. sounds like an sd card error

>>11911087
the V90S is a champ, the biggest problem is the software. I haven't had any issues with PlumOS but other people have with 2 SD cards and such

>>11911135
Everything up to like PS1 and maybe N64, I don't really need sticks I don't think

>>11911175
They don't really make up to PS1 performance with OLED screens, they're usually going to shoot for the entire fifth gen at the very least. For that weight class, I'd recommend either the Retroid Pocket Classic or Anbernic RG505.
>Retroid Pocket Classic
It's about $150 after shipping on the Retroid website & Amazon. It's a vertical handheld about the size of a Game Boy Color. Has a nice 4" OLED screen, but it's in a very square aspect ratio that is more suitable for Game Boy or SNES. 4:3 scales fine, but good luck with 16:9 games. It also comes with either 4 or 6 face buttons depending on the model, same price. The RPC is actually the more powerful option as it also plays some PS2 and GameCube, but the downside is it doesn't have analog sticks, so you'd have to either hack together some control scheme with the dpad or connect a Bluetooth controller. Also, no video out so have fun standing it up on a desk and using a controller with a 4" screen.
>Anbernic RG505
It's around $120-$150+ depending where you look on AliExpress, before coupons if applicable. 5" 16:9 OLED display in a horizontal orientation compared to the RPC, and it's about the same shape and size as a Nintendo Switch Lite, maybe like an inch shorter. This is great if you want to play PSP or GBA, but has the opposite problem of the RPC with black bars on retro games. It also has some nice Hall effect analog sticks as well, but it lacks the power to play a lot of the PS2 and GameCube games the RPC does that those sticks would be good for. Again, no video out on this one.

Unfortunately, there's no good OLED options for 4:3 gaming if you're specifically looking for that ratio. However, if you aren't married to OLED screens, there's a lot of devices that still have really good screens that can be had for less than $100. TrimUI devices like the Brick and Smart Pro are an example of really bright quality screens that are surprisingly not OLED and both their 16:9 and 4:3 handhelds go for around $50.

>>11911118
RP Mini V2 is probably your best bet
https://retrocatalog.com/retro-handhelds?filters=%7B%22screenType%22%3A%22OLED%22%7D

>>11909954
Thanks for the recommendation anon, will try (tho I think parodius might suffer from the small screen?)

>>11909989
well this one have portmaster, but there isn't much on it that isn't games (except a pixel art software)
Wouldn't there be more compatibility since the OS is basically rocknix?
>it's impossible to program anything for it because the chinks don't share all the proprietary libraries
How is there custom firmwares for it then?

>>11910056
>Also, I refuse to believe people buy vertical handhelds for any other reason that the aesthetic and nostalgia
Well I already have a steamdeck if I want something tossable in a bag; but there isn't many alternative for something that fits in a pocket.
Main uses will be short game sessions, listening to music (modern phones don't have jack ports) and maybe picking up new hobbies like lsdj

i would have gotten a retroid pocket classic a long time ago if the colors were better
the only good one is the gameboy grey one but that one has the grey display frame and that looks shitty with the oled if it was a black frame around the display it'd be so much better

>>11910056
I don't like the wide horizontal Switch-esques.
They are just too big and heavy and suck ass for retro games.
If I want to play PS2 and upwards games that are widescreen I'd much rather just emulate them on PC and play them on TV, I don't see the appeal in running that stuff on handheld.

>>11911241
They're apparently going to be dropping this black variant soon, no other colors have been announced though.

>>11911250
>pocket sucks pocket sucks pocket sucks
for years on end
>all the competitors are 1:1 pocketclones
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

>>11911250
i don't like that one either, rip
i wish there was colors that dont make it look like a cheap plastic toy that also have a black frame around the display

>>11911257
>games don't freeze by slightly touching the upper back
>lower back isn't flat and unergonomic
>features actual 4 (four) shoulder buttons and not 2 (two) dinky edge hugging buttons unusable by human beings

>OLED screen
Never mind 1:1, what got cloned at all from your scalping shitbox?

Is there a nice ready made Retroarch package I can just drag over and everything is nicely set up or anything like that?
I ordered a Pocket Classic but I have no idea where to start. I saw some nice Retroarch setups in reviews for it and I want something like that too ideally

>>11909867 (OP)
any handhelds that uses sliders instead of actual joysticks? I kinda like em better on handhelds.

>>11911045
shit too expensive like double of my budget fuck that frog
>>11911058
cad or usd?? damn that shit seems perfect. does a nigga have it? I just wanna play some genesis on the go and thats it, nothing fancy in case some bitchass want to stole my shit

>>11910070
Is that better or worse than the Odin 2?

>>11911339
You're the first person ever I've heard who prefers sliders. 3ds slidepad is one of the most abominable atrocities crafted by man, succeded only by the 2nd analog "nub" of the new 3ds.

>>11911349
NTA but I prefer 3DS sliders to the oversaturation of Vita sticks on budget handhelds. If I'm going to have to put up with cardinal snapping anyways, might as well have something that I can't possibly mistake for an actual analog stick. Plus I think it's easier to control acceleration and pull off precise movements with a slider over a Vita stick. I do think you'd have to be insane to defend the nub though, the second slider add-on they had for a limited time was unironically probably better to use.

Just ordered a grip for my flip2 and the shipping was more expensive than the grip itself.

>Retroid Pocket Classic
Is the Retroid any good, or is it crap like Anbernic? Can it handle Saturn games? I scoured YouTube, and all I found were faggots spewing bullshit. One Jew was like, “It’s decent for N64,” even though it’s got no analog stick, fucking kek. Another faggot barely mentioned Saturn emulation. Then I saw some dude testing Saturn on it, but he was using that Yaba Sanshiro garbage core.
I just need to know if this chinkheld can run Beetle Saturn at full speed, no bullshit. Lay it straight.

>>11911375
Saturn emulation should be no issue, even though they went through the effort to use the Saturn 6 button layout but not use the Saturn d-pad for some reason.

>>11911058
>GB300 is cheaper than the Powkiddy X350
how

>>11911384
>should be no issue
Uhm, I just want to know and confirm if it can run Beetle Saturn at full speed, no bullshit. Yaba Sanshiro is dogshit, pj64 tier.

>>11911401
Just try it and if it doesn't work return it

>>11911349
I got used to it because of the PSP and then the 3DS
>>11911367
it's easier to control acceleration and pull off precise movements with a slider over a Vita stick
same. I hate the Vita sticks with a passion because they are too small and the deadzone feels massive because of it. Can't quite control it to my liking

>>11911408
>forgot to greentext
oops wew

>>11910502
>someone else already has it so just let everyone have it!
retard logic

>>11911401
If only there was a site that catalogued what each chinkheld could do…

>>11911450
RetroCatalog doesn’t say which emulator or core they tested, wiseass. Every YouTuber out there’s pushing Yaba Sanshiro footage, and that’s pure garbage. I need to know how Beetle Saturn performs on it before I drop cash on one. I’m not about to deal with shipping and refunds if it’s a bust. Man, zoomers are straight-up retards.

>>11911507
the only zoomer here are you and how you are used to getting everything served to you on a sliver platter without any work or effort yourself like how you expect others to go out of their way to test shit for you when you cant even put in the due diligence of looking shit up yourself or doing it yourself

>>11911375
it might be able to but im not sure

>>11911513
>Chinkheld with 6 buttons layout
>A lot of shilltubers shilling it

>Ask /hhg/ about it
>Nobody knows
>This zoomer faggot gets mad out of the blue
This fucking general was a mistake. /v/ tier.

>>11911524
Just get a steam deck bro fr fr

>>11911204
>nig 505
The only way one of those is worth buying is if a) you get it second-hand for less than Ali; b) you put GammaOS on it; c) you're only going to use it for PSP and low-req porn games (either native Android builds or JoiPlay).
Like I did.

Otherwise, it's unergonomic (a rectangular slab with some tiny contours on the back), the controls are kinda meh (dual shoulder buttons instead of analog triggers), the screen is reasonably nice but old (OG Vita OLED), it's not very powerful compared to contemporary designs (hexa-core T618), the colors are disgusting (some pastel-ass Switch Lite ripoffs), and it feels simultaneously durable and flimsy (though I think the colors add to that feeling of flimsiness).

>>11911524
You just sound extremely entitled anon.
You should be able to estimate perfectly well how Beetle Saturn performs considering all the data on the chip used in the Classic.

>>11910987
I missed out on PS1/PSX as a kid, so I wanted to know if RG35XX Pro is good enough for that or should I hold off until I get a better device/emulate on PC and get the stickers version. There's conflicting reports about the sticks themselves.

>>11911524
The chips it uses are listed. A brief search will tell you all you need to know about

>>11911532
>>11911538
>>11911693
It seems nobody knows. Useless zoomers.

>>11911524
You sound like an asshole but I do own a classic with the 6 buttons layout. Admittedly I don't play that much Saturn but what I played run fine using Beetle Saturn, here is a list of the games I tried:
>Twinkle stars sprites
>Princess crown
>Grandia (open FMV runs like shit on default settings but the game itself seems to run fine
>Panzer dragoon
>Sakura wars
>Konami MSX collection
>Twinbee collection
>Magical drop 2
>Puzzle bubble 2
Hope that helps.

>>11911758
>Hope that helps.
I do appreciate your help. God bless, faggot.

>>11911339
All I can think of is the Retroid Pocket Flip 1, but I personally don't think its comfortable to play 3D games with that device at all.

The more I play these devices in real life, the more I realize that arcade games are the best games of all time

>>11911696
I know, but I’m not telling you.
>>11911758
>default settings
Use rocknix, retard.

>>11912103
There is no Linux support on that chip, retard.

>>11911375
>Retroon vertislop
You're gonna hate it bruh. No matter how sleek you think it looks.

>>11911696
>Zoomers are useless

Lol. Kek-lmao even.

>>11912103
>Retroon shill confuses a handheld with the other for l*nux support
>Cucknix of all sneeds

>>11911696
You can literally just run a VM emulating the exact hardware that's inside the Pocket Classic and test performance yourself anon.

>>11911524
This is every handheld.
As long as it's not a $30 rockchip, Ross will test the same 3 games and say it's runs saturn flawlessly

Can C be mapped to confirm/jump/etc on the retroid pocket classic? I know emus are remappable, but if I can't use C to say, accelerate in the android version of horizon chase turbo, then it's worthless

>>11912238
>>11912348
Uh, yes, there is.

>>11912382
>You now remember when he called 3d ps1 perfectly playable on the v90

>>11912386
If the game itself doesn't let you remap ghe controls, you need root.

>>11912402
I just checked. There's not unless you're somehow confusing it with the mini

>>11912386

Playing and beating games in these things is so fun, bros. I love giving use to my retro handheld and playing games on it like it was intended to do.

>>11912673
>Ape Escape
based

Does Ayaneo really have cracking issues or does it have that reputation because of redditpoors? On the fence about the Pocket Ace

>>11912673
Speaking of RG353P, can anyone explain to me, in real simple terms, how one can add MAME games to this? I keep trying to put the roms in but it hasn't worked, and I'm not sure how to load them directly from retroarch. I'd love to play Neo Turf Masters on this thing.

>>11912741
I'd suggest listening to the people who bought one, whether they're reddit or not.

WTF I just realized all the consoles that can actually handle the PS2 and Gamecube aren’t in 4:5 aspect ratio. Are these chinks retarded??

Just got a MagicX Mini Zero 28 for $49 and change during the sale. Not looking forward to Android with no touch screen, but the controls seem very nice and it's the only 2.8 inch screen with dual thumbsticks, and they're even hall effect ones too. Anyone else have one of these?

>>11911029
google assistant can.
just slide from one of the lower corners, select "ask about screen" then ask it to translate.

>>11912796
bro, your widescreen patches?

>>11912673
It looks like boobers

>>11912803
yeah, I have one, don't mind Dawn launcher myself. They're all front-ends for retroarch at the end of the day and you just use the shoulder buttons to navigate tabs.
feels comfy in the hands due to being chunky and rounded, great little engine for GBA. Have played a bit of N64 and it does well at half resolution, but feels weird on such a small screen

will the chinese steal my card info if i order through the anbernic website??

>>11913025
As long as it's not one of the many fake Anbernic websites. You do have above room temperature IQ and can discern fake websites, right?

>>11912479
Makes me feel good

>>11913042
you sound like a woman

mangmi bros....................

If someone borrows your handheld gaming device and refuses to return it, is that considered stealing? Am i within my legal right to pursue legal action against the person that refuses to return said console?
;^)

>>11913212
Depends on where you live, but it's usually called "theft of chattel" or "conversion" if you let somebody borrow something and they never return it. Should be something similar in bongland and other common law countries.

>>11913232
Can i pursue legal action if the person was asked to return the item but they refuse to return it? Something like a small claims court?

>>11913239
It's both a civil and criminal matter. You call the cops and then file in civil court. If it's a handheld, it would be small claims.

>>11913052
Dammit Simon, I deserve attention. I deserve to be desired.

>>11913241
Thanks boss, the cops can't be called on this one unfortunately. Small claims court it is! They get a short window (i will give them a couple weeks) to return the console before legal action is taken.
;^)

>>11913249
>cops can't be called
Yes, they can. Regardless, it's different depending on where you live so just look up the civil/criminal code to be sure.

>>11913262
You dont understand... it will go straight to small claims court, unless the console is returned.
;^)

5" of 4:3 now.

I've been using my MM+ forever just because I'm so familiar with onionos.

The screen is starting to feel a bit loose so I've been debating getting another, just because I know the OS downgrades will bother me, so are there any other handhelds in that size that have a comparable OS when it comes to QOL/customizability?
If it had psp support I'd be stoked.

>>11913476
Retroid Pocket Classic. Comes with a MUCH better screen too.
I honestly just don't see how the OS matters that much when you only spend 5 seconds in there to boot up RetroArch anyways.

>>11913472
I reckon this is more comfortable to use, even if it is solid urine..

Anyone here with Retroid Classic know how well it runs with Pokemmo? How bad is the touch ui and ui navigation in general?

>>11912871
Not retro

>>11913293
>u ain't got no freaking whimsy bruh!
Go somewhere else.

If you're using NextUI with your brick, don't use BT yet it's not ready. I had to do 2 fresh installs because BT would completely kill any audio output permanently.
One handed gaming is surprisingly okay with this thing as long as it's somewhat slow-paced

>>11913814
Other than that downside, is NextUI worth moving over from PakUI? Don't really know what the difference between the two is other than being MinUI forks.

>>11913509
Do you post this slop hoping some Anbernic chink will make it one day?

>>11913814
this chinkheld really looks like dogshit. im so glad i got a miyoo mini plus instead

Every Retroid handheld I've gotten eventually breaks somehow.
Shit company.

>>11914151
They are the only offering OLED displays at an affordable price.

>>11914151
What did you buy and how did they break?

>>11914153
Judging from most of the posts in these threads, 250 USD is not affordable.

>>11914565
I'm a Plasma chad myself actually

where is the deck 2?

>>11914151
I want something that can offer me an OLED screen and perfect sixth generation performance like my Steam Deck does that has a d-pad that doesn't suck for retro games, great battery life, and that I can actually put in my pocket and use outside of my home. Why would I buy a Odin 2 Portal if it's only marginally smaller than the Deck, or an Odin Mini with its cheap screen, or an Ayaneo device that's probably around the same price of the Deck and has worse build quality than Retroid? The new Anbernic device is a contender for this category, but its like $50+ more expensive than the Retroid Pocket 5 with worse ergonomics like side-by-side shoulders. This hobby is full of devices made of varying grades of Chinesium, it's more about finding the specs that you're looking for in these devices.

>>11913951
I have to remain unbiased just in case lol, but I will say that the taste required for six buttons is not often met by 'nìg. The ARC was cool, but kind of a shame it was underpowered imo. Might make a Kickstarter if there's no takers but sometimes ideas seem to filter through, so idk. Depends if there's any demand here, I do joke a lot but I honestly might consider it. The colours/ textures and "custom shells" may have to be simplified initially to keep costs down. But maybe if big enough it could be possibly something I would put investment into. I personally like the design and wouldn't seek to change it much if it goes on longer-term. The chip would be powerful and likely define the cost parameters, but again each year brings better chips and savings too.

>>11915107
The plastic around the metal pressure point on the Flips hinge was quite thin. And while cosmetic, still will put off potential consoomers.

>>11914519
It's not about the price, but the pitfalls that come with it that are unacceptable. You're selling me a GBA I have to take apart and tape at $40? Ok, whatever. You're selling me a permanently broken Android device with a high pitched fan at $250 that isn't even pocketable? Fuck right off.

Redditsistahs it finally happened… I walked into wife’s boyfriend’s room and found my Retroid Flip had cracked at the hinges. I was so upset that I even tore out my Atheists for Palestine! sticker

>>11915474
i like my flip 2

I bought an R36S like a month ago, likely a clone, and I'm having an issue with saving. The games don't save when I save through their usual in-game menu, and when I try to save a game through the console's quick menu, it gets stuck at 0% progress, and when I try to end the game and go back to the main menu the game freezes and I have to reset the thing manually.
It has emuelec es v4.7 as it's system according to the main menu.
Other details, no idea if it's relevant, the micro SD uses FAT32, has about 53.1GB occupied and 494 MB free.

>>11915834
If the sd is the stock card, it's a dud. The clone you have could also be a rk3128 clone. That chip sucks, but it could be worse.

>>11915846
>If the sd is the stock card, it's a dud
Can I move the data to another SD?

>The clone you have could also be a rk3128 clone.
How could I find that out? Opening it up?

>>11915852
>Can I move the data to another SD?
Yes, but it's likely you need to reflash the new card with the OS first. Never use cards that come with the system, always buy new ones or use existing ones you had. They're ewaste unless they're Kioxia cards.

>>11915692
Crazy how this man can anger Retroid users like you wouldn't believe.

>>11915862
Max is a fuckin nut, but other chinks on baidu respect him for shitting on retroid for no reason. Of course, retroid is actually hated on china more than anywhere else.

>>11915869
>Of course, retroid is actually hated on china more than anywhere else.
I'm curious, whats this about?

>>11915859
>reflash the new card with the OS first
I'm so sorry but what is this about?

>>11915883
https://github.com/EMUELEC/EmuELEC/releases
Download that (No clue on which version. Generic?), use Rufus to mount the image file, target the new SD card, and let it install. Then copy over your files. From Googling for this link it seems like if your R36S comes with EmuELEC v4.7 it's a clone. Most people use ArkOS.
https://github.com/christianhaitian/arkos/wiki

You can't just copy files from SD cards 1:1, there's some partitioning and setup they do to get them to work properly which requires you to reimage the SD card.

>>11915892
Thank you so much, anon.

Chinks being chinks. Its normal for their customer support agents to try to weasel their eay out of refunds, but retroid is infamous for acting like pieces of shits for no reason. Mind you, they're only like this to other chinks. Some also plain don't like their ceo for some reason.

>>11915924
Well, that would explain the company's reaction during the Mini V1 debacle.

>>11915834

>>11915924
if don't even chinks support their company, you know it's shit.
chinks are always supportive of their own country products.

How's everyone doing? Haven't really browsed imageboards in a while. I'm still on my tablet and controller setup, can't get enough of it, currently playing a lot of GBA and PS1 because I love the early 2000's, just wish I had more time to play and to post with you all. What are you guys playing, and what device are you playing it on?

Does anyone have experience ordering directly from Retroid in Europe?
I've never really ordered something Chink like this, will I have to pay import taxes and customs and what not? How do they handle payment of those? Will they hold my package hostage and send me a letter telling me to pay hundreds of Euros or they will destroy it? I'm really new to all this sorry if it's stupid questions

>>11914031
The left looks like pixel art, the right looks like a nice picture smeared with Vaseline and cum

You're probably better off ordering from AliExpress because it's cheaper and the duties and taxes are already baked into the prices.

If you're getting one of the newer models ordering from Ali is a bad idea. Just order direct and pay for DHL. Cheaper/older models who gives a fuck, but if you're getting something that's newer then it's better to order direct and overspend on shipping. I've never had a problem with DHL and since I'm not chinese I didn't have a problem with getting a new unit when mine got fucked in transit.

>>11915894

The rp4p massively outperforms and you can nab those for 150-170 now.
And for the same price you get an rp5, MASSIVELY outperforms it, doesnt have mediakek driver problems, winlator support, good switch support etc etc
They need to hire me so I can get their product line under control

>>11917890
Biggest feature seems like the screen translation. I've been wondering for like 5 years now why that sort of software doesn't exist yet. Seems like companies don't even want to try and develop the software until translations are instant, but they're pretty fast already.

>>11918034
Its built into retroarch retard. Has been for years

>>11918112
Interesting. Thanks for letting me know. Anbernic's solution seems to work across the Android OS, though. That's obviously more useful, and it's what I meant when I said I've wondered for years why a similar software doesn't already exist. I guess for phones it's because every app on Android and Iphone is so sandboxed, but I don't see why there isn't some software with real-time machine translation for on-screen text for Windows or Linux yet. I wouldn't even mind something like Anbernic (or Retroarch as I'm now learning) where there's a dedicated translate button or button combo to summon the translation service.

>>11917890
Well ACHUALLY, the Dimensity 8300 in the RG477M mogs the fuck out of the D1100 used in the RP4P. In some cases the 8300 is even preferably to the chipset used in the RP5, at least when it comes to PS2/GC emulation. Where it falls apart is Anbernig's shitty Android builds, Switch Emulation, and the fact that it doesn't have stacked analog triggers for GC/Dreamcast.

My Retroid flip 2 is starting squeak. It’s only been a month.

>>11918341
Oh I misread the specs then kek
Was under the impression that it was on a unisoc for some reason

Is retroid’s screen addon only compatible with RP4, RP5 and mini v2? It looks like it’d be a perfect fit for RP2S

>>11918586
Please God just give me a V3 Miyoo Flip with an actually fixed hinge this time and good CFW before we move onto the next meme form factor...

>>11918671
Does the RP2S even support external displays through USB-C?
You might need an HDMI display instead.

>>11918754
Isn’t miyoo making a mini flip with the exact same retarded hinge? I think trimui is more likely to make a clamshell with a sensible hinge next (trimui’s flip looks like shit from concepts)

>>11918837
Yeah, but I don't know what the point is when the Miyoo Flip already feels kind of small at times vs the 35XXSP. I think they're just making it to get rid of Miyoo Mini V4 parts since they're apparently discontinuing it. People still buy the Miyoo Mini all the time though, so idk why they would even discontinue it in the first place and use the parts for a shittier product. It doesn't even have a headphone jack. This company really peaked with the Miyoo Mini+ and just keeps fucking up since.

>>11918671
I guess you can use a USB-C to HDMI adapter, but It's just a screen I think, so it would just mirror the 2S 4:3 screen, cus it's HDMI is only a mirror video out instead of the USB-C second screen capabilities of the newer Retroids.
If they weren't retards, they could do a 2Pro with the lower spec Classic hardware and do the USB-C video out thing, maybe bundle with the screen attachment.

Fucking retards are gonna act like they don't notice the full 3 frames of buffering between the built in screen and HDMI because android isn't made to work like this.

>>11919048

>>11919785
Simplemenu, minui and the like were always retarded shit shilled by retards and youtubers.

>>11919785
You have to realize these youtubers only use these devices in real world scenarios for a grand total of like 1 hour. They're too busy reviewing all the other 5000 handhelds coming out and making videos. RGC did the setup, said "yep that looks good", played some games on it for 15 minutes for the footage, and made a video about it. Then put it down and never touched it again while he grabbed something else that he was in the middle of reviewing.

>>11919667
I only got a RGB30 and a X28, but the RGB30 is the single worst RK3566 for that reason, the battery percentage keeps locking up and there's a noticeable powered off drain no one can figure out how to stop, which gets significantly worse under mainline kernel to the point it dies in a day from a full charge. I can imagine their faulty design extends to other models, although my X28, for all its crippling faults, has zero battery problems.

https://github.com/ROCKNIX/distribution/issues/256

Anyway, I wouldn't recommend any Powkiddy even beside that, they're shoddy.

>>11919967
I hope it's the RG CubeXX because that's the one I ordered this sale

>>11919967
Cube XX or 35XX Pro

why doesn't the rp classic have thumbsticks when it's like one of the few vertislops that ACTUALLY COULD FUCKING MAKE USE OF THEM

>>11920047
It's to distance themselves from their first vertislop.

>>11919967
CubeXX is their best budget by far, you just have to know what you're doing. 34xx is great if you're willing to tape the d-pad contacts. Hold out for sales.

>>11919938
Except, as I stated, that's also a problem on ArkOS and JELOS. Rocknix just has it worse because mainline kernel has to sort everything out from scratch.

>>11920083
>you just have to know what you're doing
what do you mean?

>>11920093
Regarding scaling and ratios. IE: for 4:3 you get 3.5" of screen estate, but it's non-integer scaling (2.3x). By applying a shader like sharp-shimmerless-shader it looks imperceptible (set by default on community OS).

>>11918607
It was a rush-job what did you expect?

>>11920104
>imperceptible
less perceptible*

>>11920136
I said what I said. The only time sharp-shimmerless failed me was when muOS had it set incorrectly on the 34xx for FDS, where it was trying to compensate the like 8 pixels of overscan missing up to 480p and that killed vertical scrolling. Other than that, if you got a sizeable difference and high enough PPI like the Cube's, it just werks.

Can the TSP run Am2r yet!

>>11920207
RG35XX+ can with PortMaster
I am honestly amazed how good MuOS has gotten with each iteration. In a few weeks Goose (supersedes Banana which superseded Bean) will bring even more cool things to the OS.
But PortMaster has been maintained flawlessly independently of MuOS by its own team, and yeah... I have even been playing Gato Roboto (coolest Metroidvania) in my RG35XX+

Crossmix is very good on tsp. Insane standby battery life.
Anotherstockmix is not as good but better than anything else on the bricc right now.

Is android as an OS any better than the retro handheld OS?
I don't like android at all, but fucking around with portmaster doesn't always work and/or is not updated.

>>11920730
What handheld?

>>11920745
RG35xxsp.
The portmaster's Pokemon Reborn is too old for the Moemon patch - but android can run it just fine.

>>11920747
if rpgmaker games past 2003, android will always be better since joiplay isnt on linux.

>>11920747
Also, not sure how well joiplay would work on an h700 with 1gb of ram, but then again, I saw someone on baidu using their tsp for joiplay, so you might have luck.

So is the RP flop 2 hinge actually shit or some people just got unlucky?

>>11920454
Wrong. The mercuryshit games suck cock, but Am2r is 90% as good as the GBAtroids

>>11920730
No, but it's more compatible and the chips are way faster on average, the rare snapdragons with Linux support aside.

>>11920758

>>11920484
>clamshell

>>11920985
34XXSP has Vita sticks in it. The 35XXSP is the same thing but slightly bigger and no analog sticks.

received the pixel 2, it's interesting; guess i'll blogpost a bit

Handled is way bigger than I expected somehow, screen and buttons are nice, dpad is ok but too big (or rather, has huge travel course). IUX is garbo but emulation station is alright, at least with rogue os.
It's surprisingly comfortable for me to play tate (maybe because my fingers are both thin and long), if you flip it so that the buttons are on the left side it's fine to have both thumbs on the left and the right index hovering the shoulder button. Played a bit of Valkyrie no Densetsu like this and will probably try to learn the 1cc on it.

2 main gripes I have with it that reviews don't mention at all: it's lukewarm on use (and with the metal body it feels weird to hold), select button cannot be held and pressing left/right because it adjusts brightness which can be an issue for some games

It enters fanfiction territory with its interpretation of, not only SR388 as a location, but also the events of the game it's supposedly retelling.
There's enough taken from Zero Mission as well as entirely new content that I feel confident in saying, if you've only played AM2R, then you've never experienced Metroid 2.

What blatant shilling. It just came out so he's trying to create fomo for anbernic's newest device. Doesn't he have to say when he's being paid for advertisements?

I think I know the answer is NO, but I still want to ask the experts first because y'all know so much more than me:

There's a teen in my life with pretty severe autism who loves mario. I want to get him a handheld, but he isn't careful. I don't think he'll full on smash it, but he definitely lacks nuance and is rough with things. So no hinges for sure lol. Any good fits? The ones I own definitely wouldn't survive him but it's hard to tell from reviews if they would survive a caveman. I really want this kid to be able to enjoy the hobby

>>11922032
2DS with a Nerf case

>>11921990
Yeah, I was surprised how obvious it was. I know this thread got wound up about Retroid earlier, but you have to admit that the Mini V2 or RP5 is a better offering than the Anbernic and they cost less. Even barring Retroid, why not just spend an extra few dollars and get an Odin device? I don't understand who this is for at this price range. Also, I really don't like the idea of holding a metal handheld with barely any ergonomic grips for hours at a time. He went through the effort of reviewing the grip add-ons for the RP5 too, surely he'd know what's up with something built with the same stick layout.

Still no new RG34XX colors

>>11922032
Like the other anon said, get him a 2DS and maybe slap a case on it.
It was specifically made with kids that are rough with their devices in mind, even the most sturdy Chinesium won't survive long when it's thrown around.

>>11922032
Don't buy unofficial products like these if the person isn't going to be careful with them to some degree. These things are not meant to withstand even simple drops unless they're the $150+ models and even then it's iffy how well the thing stands up to drops. Screen's getting knocked loose, stuff just outright breaking, the cheap plastic cracking, and so on are all real concerns with these devices.
I've read at least two posts on different sites where the screen gained a brand new vertical line after dropping it or buttons straight up stopped working after dropping it.

Buy something meant to be thrown into walls like a 2DS or Switch Lite.

Thanks for the input so far anons. I was leaning towards a 2ds, it's a bit hard to find in my region now, but I think I might give him supervised access to my old handheld for now, and let him mess with a wireless brick of a controller until I find one. The nerf case seems neat!

>>11922032
Either 2DS or modded Switch Lite if you can find either for cheap, otherwise TrimUI Smart (not Smart Pro) is pretty tough and can play up to SNES.

>>11921905
If you're using an android device, download and unpack it directly to the device storage itself. If linux, itll suck, but delete the music before transfering to the sd card.

>>11922081

I think every distro ships with 7z, you could SSH it to unpack.

>Retroid sub is full of people posting broken flip 2 hinges
>Shills going full damage control mode saying broken hinges are normal, every Nintendo handheld had them or that you must be rough and abusing the device

I have had every Nintendo handheld except the DS-lite and 2DS and none of them ever broke for me or my 4 other friends. It's insane how people will try to rewrite reality just to cope with their chinkshit.

>>11922170
I knew something was off about the hinge. How did the fuck is powkiddy the only one who knows how to do wide clamcel hinges?

>>11922170
It's like people forget we literally meme about these things being made out of Nintendium. I dropped those shits a dozen times for each iteration and opened the hinges multiple times a day for years and they all still worked, including my 3DS I still use. I once had my DS Lite fall out of my jacket during a snowball fight and lost it, and I found it over a week later when the snow melted and it was soaked. That shit still turned on after I dried it off, with the only damage being the audio was fucked for like a day before going back to normal. Hinges cracking after only a few months are not normal at all unless you make Chinese garbage with no quality control like most companies in this stupid hobby. Retroid only gets slack because they're the cheapest company that makes OLED devices and aren't trapped in Allwinner Samsara. Just get a 3*XXSP or even a PowShiddy like >>11922205 said and wait another year for the Middle Kingdom to perfect hinge technology that was already solved for decades.

>>11922170
Retroid cultists run reddit unfortunately

>>11922260
shut up faggot, half the posts are people complaining about it, just cope because you got a defective one and shut up

>>11921848
You're projecting again.

My Flip 2 hinge has been fine and I've had it since launch but I'm not surprised there's a lot of people who aren't so lucky. Chink made clamshells are always a risky purchase. From handhelds to controllers, chinese made products #1 issue has always been quality control and I don't expect that to change any time soon.

I had my Retroid Flip 2 hinge crack.
My Pocket Mini was never replaced or got refunded for its fucked up screen.
My Flip 1 had broken sliders.
The triggers on my RP3 broke.

>>11922040
>Mini V2 or RP5 is a better offering than the Anbernic and they cost less.
Wait, that thing costs more than an RP5?

Seems like it's only affecting solid colors from what you queers are reposting. Usually the clear plastic ones are more brittle.

>>11922428
>with the shitch
It died way back with the DSi.

>>11920384
you can get the same battery life with any CFW with SleepModeFork

>>11922434
My DS lite has a broken hinge and the bottom screen is dying, my DSi is working fine after all these years.

>>11922436
DSi is a brittle little thing compared to the hulkster of Nintendium known as the Phat DS.

>>11922419
Could also be people are avoiding clear colors, while something like the 35xxSP had a way bigger and less selective/informed sample size.

>>11922445
True, I didn't think about that. No reports on clear models cracking because there's much less of them in the wild. Just funny how people got solid colors to avoid cracking and still ended up getting cracks anyway. Guess the color never mattered after all.

>>11922439
>compared to the hulkster of Nintendium known as the Phat DS.
I have the right half of the hinge that snapped completely off for no reason. My DS Lite also had that bit that shows the LEDs snap clean off my Lite while I was playing it in my hands.

Neither were made of Nintendium, you guys just got lucky. The Lite I know I dropped at least once or twice but the Phat I never dropped at all.

>>11922205
The x18 and x18s were simply meant to last. That doesn't mean they made it so the buttons don't feel like shit.

It’s why the idea of the Ayaneo DS is a bit worrying. It’s a powerful handheld and it seems to not need grips like the RP flips do for 3D games, but I have no clue what the quality of their hinges are.

I'm using rocknix on my rp5 and looking for a hentai theme that's good. 80s or early 90s OVA style, like La Blue Girl or Dream Hunter or Dark Cat or someshit like that.

>>11921316
Chromatic is made in Texas and better than all Chinese verticals

>>11921316
Boots, clothes, furniture, food, pipes, wiring, HVAC, lighting, my jackets, medicine, dog food, various building products I can't be bothered to list, guns, ammunition, knives, eating utensils including chopsticks humorously, bedding, I can't be bothered to keep going down the list.

I do have a couple of Russian AKs and an Italian pistol. Also have a Czech pistol like >>11922589 probably does also.

How did Anbernig not have any issues with the hinges despite their first time making clamshells with the 34/35xxsp when every other chink company flops and sharts?

>>11922535
>posts more stupid bullshit pulled out of his anus
(You)

>>11922617
Did you purposely forget that powkiddy existed? The 35xx sp wasn't made for the longest time because max feared the v90 with its piece of shit allwinner.

>>11922327

Would you like to know?

>>11922445
35xxsp hinges are genuinely rock solid.
The very few reports are user induced.
Ive been abusing my clear blue one since launch with no problems.
I tore it down like 15 times perfecting my button mods over the months too

>>11922765
yes

>>11922775
you really wanna know?

>>11922781
yes pls

hey guys just checking in.
anything exist yet that is the size of the rp3+ I have but with cellular and nfc?
thanks.

Wait, so translucent shells aren’t made of cheaper plastic? Is it safe to buy a clear white/red/green RG35XXSP?

>>11922772
It's quite remarkable how good the 35xxsp is for a first version of something. They really hit it out of the park with that one.

>>11922534

why they didn't use rubber is beyond me.

>>11923202
Do the rubbers from GBA SP fit?

>>11923212
dunno.
i was not dumb enough to get one.
i got the brick instead and it uses rubber.

>>11923198
those are speed holes, they make it faster to press the buttons

>>11923202
max zhou likes it raw.

>>11923198
Did any chinkheld-reviewing jewtuber mention this when reviewing RG35XXSP or later?

>>11923254
oh god no, and none of them mentioned it for the RG34XX SP either

>>11923254
It takes significantly longer than the hour or two (at absolute max) that any reviewer spends on a single device for the buttons to start wearing through.

>>11922792
I passed out sorry fren
The metal part can slip out of alignment with the plastic. Its oblong or whatever so when it moves out of position it stresses the plastic and cracks it.
I don't think its a materials issue, just QC. Makes sense why the clear ones seems to be better with it, since they're easier to check the position of the hinge during assembly.
So if you develop a crack just drop in a drop of smartphone screen glue and let it cure, should take care of the issue.

>>11923357
for the RG35XX SP I could believe that, but none of them did a tear down of the RG34XX SP to check the buttons, and this is well after the news about the dome's getting pierced

>>11923395
Does the 34xx sp dpad even have a pivot? Seems identical to the 35xxsp

>>11923404
I can't tell you - I didn't get one due to suspicion about the buttons, and none of the teardowns on youtube cover the buttons or dpad. You have to assume the worst

>>11923386
Why doesn’t anbernig just ship the SP’s with these? If they can’t be assed to fix the shit themselves, at least give the customers the option to do it themselves. I don’t wanna hunt down washers which may or may not fit

So I got myself a Retroid Pocket. Filled it with 30,000 games. Now I can’t play any of them. For three days, I just open Es-De scroll for a bit, then load up some gacha.
How do I get over choice overload?

>>11923457
Start doing RetroAchievements.
It sounds retarded but just having that simple goal of having 100% completion on my favorite games from forever ago was enough for me to get over it.

>>11923436
>I don’t wanna hunt down washers which may or may not fit
https://www.printables.com/model/1016431-ring-cover-for-og-buttons-replacement-buttons-and
You don't have to. Just grab the file and print it via a 3D printer. I can vouch for it as I used the ones provided by this exact link on my own for my d-pad. Didn't have to do the face buttons since I have a v2.

>>11923457
Loading romsets is a mistake.
It's way better to just pick a game or two and load them as you wanna play them.

>>11923457
Go through the set once and favorite the games you actually want to play.
Then work through your Favorites list instead and maybe do Achievements for them if you want some ideas on possible challenges.
Doomscrolling through thousands of games in one big list most of which are garbage makes it really really hard to actually start anything.

>>11923457
>She didn't curate her gaming library

Rookie mistake. Worry not, I got you.
First things first, you only need 3 romsets in your device:
>gameboy
>gameboy color
>gameboy advance

Alright good. Now you have a seemingly infinite amount of random games you can start and mess around with when you are on the commode.

Step 2: put on some retro childhood favourites
>"B-but I've already played my favourites"
They're your favorites for a reason. You like to play them. The idea is to fill your device with games you want to play so you'll use it more often. Put in your old favourites

Step 3: pick your 3 favourite genres like RPG or Shooter games. Google "top 10 genre games for X console", legally purchase and backup those, then repeat for Y console. At the end you'll have a good chunky collection of classics you can try out. Well over 100 possibly new games, much easier to pick than 30K.

Step 4: add Ken Griffey Jr Presents Major League Baseball (SNES), Wild Guns (SNES) and Ridge Racer Type 4 (PSX).

You're welcome.

yeah, i'm thinking kino

>>11923457
It might sound appealing to just buy a 1TB SD Card and load 100k games onto your handheld, but that's honestly the worst way to go about it for most people. Only put games that interest you and games you like on there, nothing is more demotivating than aimlessly scrolling through 5000 yearly sports game releases for 3 different regions.

>>11923475
>extra $10 just to fix an already $60 chinkheld
I feel like I’m better off buying V90S. It’ll probably feel like a cheap piece of shit but at least I’d save both money and time

>>11923594
V90S is great, normal buttons, no hinge issues. Stuck with PlumOS as the only other option but its not that bad

>>11923624
I’m still on the fence because I’m not a fan of any of the color options, probably the only device I’m considering getting in transparent black because that’s the only way the bottom “window” actually makes any sense why do none of these flipflops come in solid black/blue…

>>11923146
Someone responded to your previous post with an answer to your question. If that somehow wasnt enough, badger them about it.
As for the "tirade" (you don't know what that word means, and I suggest you stop using it until you figure it out): I gave my opinion, someone asked me to elaborate, and I did. If that person wasn't you, then you aren't part of the conversation.

>>11923062
>i-i didn't get shit on it!
>i just d-didn't wash my hands all day! it's normal!
lol this boy done got poop on his hands

>>11923629
the window is a fingerprint magnet on my red model, which is a shame because the v90s red is much better than the v90 red was

>>11923693
It’s really weird they went and made that window when there is only one transparent and three solid color options. Does it at least come with any stickers to put there like RGB20SX or V20?

>>11923706
no stickers unfortunately, I think it was the same designer who did the RGB20 Pro and needed to get it out of their system. Takes a second to clean but mildly annoying

Pocket/Flip bros, I have a question:
Do you have Android or Linux as your default?

>>11911408
I would prefer the slider if it didn't "jam" when even a little pressing force is applied. The PSP was way worse about it but the 3DS still had the issue as well. I wish there were a way to have lubricated sliders. That, along with having subtle notches on the edges of the gate, would make for a great pocketable control method.

DS-lites were notoriously bad. We had 3 in the family and all 3 had bad hinges. Our 2 DS-i were just fine.

>>11923951
Your family is just a bunch of mongoloids.

>>11923951
Almost everyone in school I knew that had a ds lite broke their hinge. Mine is still fine though.

>>11923957
My friends had problems with theirs too. Shoulder buttons were problematic also. Though I guess you could blame metroid prime hunters for this one.

>>11923982
I didn't break my hinge. Just one day I opened my DS lite and it just cracked open by itself. I use a 3DS nowadays.

>>11923990
Your friends eat paste.

>>11924014
Then how do you explain this not happening at all with the Phat DS DS-i and 3Ds people owned among my family and friends ? All these people owned DS-lites ad some owned GBA SPs also. None except the DS-lite had issues.

>>11924047
You all had independent but simultaneous gas leaks during the DS Lite’s heyday.

>>11923457

once you had enough of that, start slowly copying recommendations and whatever you want to play next.

>>11924001
Was it one of the first batches of ds lites? I also had my launch ds lite (white) get a crack, but I have a silver ds lite from the end of it's lifespan and it's still good to go.

Because I've heard the first batches broke the most, and the white ones were the worst.

>>11923816 I have no idea what I'm looking at. Speaker? Vent?

See if your local library does any 3D printing instead of buying it. All of the ones by me do so they did them for me for free because they were so small.

>>11923845
Honestly, no clue. I'd assume it should since the buttons themselves are all the same size as the 35, right? It's just the actual shell size and added thumbsticks that changed?

Now make them 600+ PS1 games.

>>11926961
RP5. I’ve converted a fuckload to Chad format and trimmed a bunch of cartridge consoles way down and have pretty much everything I “want” but I’m trying to add images and preview videos and pretty it up. I’m playing with about 10gb of space.

>>11926984
CHD

>>11926984
I did Screenscraper for my Steam Deck that I put everything on just because I have 3TB storage on there to burn. I have about 11,000 ROMs on there, and every single boxart, video, description, etc. that it generated for those came out to just a hair over 100GB total. If you have a tenth of what I have on there, you should be able to make 10GB work. Otherwise, good luck with the SD card upgrade.

Did u guys know that AYN is an acronym that stands for All You Need? I pissed and shitted myself when I found out

best foldable for just playing pokemon and pokemon romhacks

>>11927176
RG35XXSP or PowKiddy V90S if you don't need WiFi or a headphone jack. RG34XXSP is also good if you're playing GBA romhacks but the aspect ratio is weird for GB/DS and its more expensive

>>11926951
>I did not understand what you meant
I could tell.

>>11927189
Despite the 34XXSP having the correct aspect ratio for GBA, I find that the 35XXSP with the GBA logo overlay on the bottom looks much more aesthetic than that ugly top lip on the 34XXSP.

>>11926984
CHD is magical, not only does it decrease the file size, but it also improves read performance, which is pretty much essential when you emulate PS1 games on an N3DS
Out of curiosity, what do you use to trim cartridge games?

>>11927189

thanks. ill study up on them and get one in the end.

what console is this

What is the one which has the biggest screen for gba (3:2) screen?

>>11927478
>biggest 3:2 screen
The KT-R1, the Ayaneo Pocket Ace or Powkiddy's upcoming RGB50. All of them use a 4.5 inch 1620x1080 screen.

>>11927202
Just regular-ass 7-zip. The tracker I'm on has them uploaded in 7z already, so I just tossed them over. I did have to manually compress some dreamcast games, but that's not really an issue with 7-zip.
>>11927015
>11K roms

Well...hell. Looks like I'm gonna have to upgrade. I'm around 6K. I think. I got lazy trimming shit down, I wish there was a more convenient automated solution.

And a few others. I used to do it console-by-console like a moron. You'll have to go back and add things, maybe, but only the niche stuff.

>>11927509
Ayaneo DS has a 4.7" I think

>>11927202
>improves read performance
that is not exactly a lie, but it needs specific circumstances for that to happen.
chd is a compressed format, and as such, it needs to be decompressed to be usable, that decompression happens on the fly and if the device in question is not powerful enough to decompress and emulate at the same time, you can even lose performance over it.
3ds in specific is very storage speed starved, that's why it works well there. but you can get the same results using pbp, for example, for ps1.

>>11926765
>>11926772
Agree, but /hhg can do one better..

>>11926298
why do you like the cube so much?

>>11926987
Doesn't it remove the audio/video from some games to "save space"? I find this less than the ideal experience. Are there any complete sets of chd roms? I tried asking /t.

>>11927197
A shame about the 35XXSP's stiffer buttons and in my opinion chunkier build, though. Does look considerably better, I agree.

>>11927694
>Spongebob in the reflection
Do you wear square pants Anon?

Thinking of getting a Retroid pocket 5 for gamecube and PS2. Would they look too small/weird on that display?

>>11927982
that's what it's made for, it's great

>>11927982
I don't think so, everything looks pretty awesome though I mostly play JRPGs and Kings Field when it comes to PS2.

>>11926263
You are a fat homosexual who lives in this thread. I am a land lord and a machinist. Circle jerking with your little buddy over here will never change that.

Delete the gacha games. All of them anon. It's better for you in the long run and you'll be all the stronger for it.

>>11928126
Which JRPGs? That’s mostly what I play too

>>11926713
It will use an allshitter chip and need 2x frameskip on all those
Jewtubers will call it "playable" and soiface

My PSP is aging and starting to suffer from worn components and a short battery life. I was looking into a replacement for it since I mostly just use it as a way to emulate.

Are there any of these newer handhelds that have an exceptional battery life on them? I'd be fine with something that can only do NES/SNES/PSX/GB/C/A, but I would want something that can last for a very long time on a single charge and hopefully doesn't weigh too much from a huge battery. That was one thing I really loved about my GBA SP, a single charge could last me 10+ hours it seems, my PSP topped out at 5-6 when it was new and now gets about 3 at most.

>>11909867 (OP)

any good cheap handhelds that can run windows other than the steam deck?

>>11928713
Open box ROG Ally from Best Buy for $390. Otherwise try to find that or the Lenovo Legion Go for a little cheaper on eBay or Facebook Marketplace, but at least Best Buy probably comes with manufacturer's warranty.

>>11928723

thanks but i hate lenovo an asus with a passion and would never buy their garbage

>>11928731
Then there's really nothing else you can get for that price range but a Deck to flash with Windows. If you ever have more cash to burn, you could check out the GPD Win lineup or some Ayaneo handhelds.

>>11928742

oh wow, the gpd win4 looks nice but I personally dont like ayaneo... I wonder if there will be a gpd win 5? the tariffs caused a shit storm.

Most chinkhelds of that power level are stuck with 3000-3500mAh batteries which makes for 6-8 hours of playtime if you turn all the extra shit (wifi, bluetooth, 2x speed) off. If you like the PSP form factor, get Trimui Smart Pro, it isn’t ideal for PSP but supposedly is good for GBA and the screen is big enough for 4:3 to still look good and the slightly bigger battery makes up for around the same time as the smaller screen devices

>>11909891

Spambot.

>>11929356
So yes, this is what you mean by being a "gaymer": you play gay games on 4chan all day long, so you can be the Only True King Underground Gaymer of the thread.

I rather play SNES, Retardo.

I don't want to "gaym" anymore with you, I am not feeding your mental issues further, seek help.

No. CHD is lossless, the only thing it removes is junk data that was used to fill up the entirety of the disc.

>>11928309
Wild Arms, Suikoden, Shadow Hearts, shit like that. Not so much final fantasy, I don’t like 3D final fantasy games that much.

>>11929414
>Everyone who disagrees with me are the same person
Get your meds, Retardo.

>>11927015
I managed to get it sorted, I just had to delete duplicates and non-translated JP. I’ve got around 13gb to spare, so it all worked out.

I love Clamshells, bros

>>11927693
The upper tier handhelds can handle it just fine, but you probably need at least 8gb of RAM.

>>11929728
I am tempted between RG35XXSP and RG34XXSP but do not know which one I like more.

I like Indigo Purple, but also Atomic Purple Transparent...

The only thing keeping me from getting one is the reported button contact-board issues.

>>11929465
>junk data that was used to fill up the entirety of the disc
Why is this a thing?

>>11929852
Dunno. May have been a way to pull a fast one on the publishers. “Our gamu vely rarge preaseru rook forwararu to it” or someshit, but nearly every PSX game is loaded with junk data. CHD is lossless, including audio tracks, and you can expect around 50% space savings on average with major outliers on either end. Sometimes you can only save like 5-15%, sometimes bullshit like 75%.

I’m sure there’s some hardware reason also, but I can’t be bothered to look it up.

>>11929903
Usually the outer rim of the disc runs faster than the inner rim of the dis, so the laser was supposed to read faster from the edges of the disk.
Padding the disc would allow for the data to be located on the edges. Supposedly.
