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

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

>>11910543

>>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

>>11911402

>>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

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.

>>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

>>11912673

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?

The overlay menu simply has a disc management option for ejecting a virtual disc and entering the new one

Every Retroid handheld I've gotten eventually breaks somehow.
Shit company.
Shit handhelds.
How do people defend and still recommend this garbage?

>>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.

>>11914519
The Classic Pocket is barely over 100$ anon.

>>11914151
They give good performance, good specs, good screens, near-vita quality d-pads at a competitive price.

>>11914525
Oh. I assume people aren't retarded and only get the Pocket 5 or the mini v2. I guess >>11914151 bought one of their shitty models.

>>11914540
>Oh. I assume people aren't retarded and only get the Pocket 2S or 4Pro.
fix'd

>>11914531
They're far better than the DS/3DS, at least.
>>11914561
Buy a hinge, feel the singe.
>4pro
lol
lmao
I bet you're one of those faggots who spam shit like "LED is just as good as OLED"

>>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.

jealous of the superior screen and stereo speakers?
you are still in time to sell you shityoo and buy a brick.

have any of you ever gooned to your chinkheld? I don't mean playing a porn game or watching porn on it, i mean gooning to the very idea of the chinkheld itself

>>11914908
The cheeks hanging off the bottom of these XU20s might be making me a little hot and bothered...

>>11914908
Nah. Play a video game faggot.

>>11914151
Is the Pocket 5 shit too? Thinking of buying one

>>11914937
i want to fuck poison so badly and watch her gock flop around

the flip 2 problems are overblown by crybaby whiny redditors, like everything else, you are stupid if you think a vocal minority represents everyone

>>11915092
every chinkheld is shit.
we use them only because there is no equivalent.

>>11915105
I wanna tie her down and CBT her

>>11915107
This is true. Remember sarrs, do the needful and buy the Retroid Pocket Flop 2.

>>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.

>>11914575

>>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

what's the best Sonic Adventure 1/2 handheld machine?

>>11915437
>pocketable
A non issue unless you're a faggot bing bing wahoo who plays games in public.
>broken android
Reasonable, android sucks, but linux works on retroid and odin.
>high pitched fan
Pocket 5 and odin 2 portal do not have high pitched fans.

As my old Scottish Grandpop used to say, "This guy smokes the fags".

>>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.

>>11915892
>>11915894
Whoops, looks like the ArkOS version for the R36S is

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
Cheap included SD card

>>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

>>11916984
You're probably better off ordering from AliExpress because it's cheaper and the duties and taxes are already baked into the prices.

>>11914603
Damn, it sort of sounds like you really like your steam deck and should shut the fuck up and play video games on it

>>11916117
>implying
The only people chinks stab in the back more than the ignorant gweilo are other chinks. There's a reason they massacre themselves every 100 years or so, they hate each other more than americans do.

>>11916984
>>11917000
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.

>>11916275
damn that looks really nice
I wish the ergos were better though

>>11916996
you look like you're smeared with cum you baiting faggot

>>11917529
It's comfy to me.
I don't get the whining for ergonomics. Most official handhelds throughout the years had shit ergonomics. I don't know why suddenly people want comfy handhelds...

>>11915894
>>11915892
You can also just clone the card
>>11916984
Buy from retroid and use the cheap shipping, not dhl. Then you are unlikely to pay for import fees, they also devalue the package so the fee is lower if it gets caught
