Can the xu zero 28 do Dreamcast well with gammaOS? N64?

I just got a wusd r36s. What can i do to make it run psp/n64/ps1 games better. I buyed it to be of able of play parasite eve and silent hill on in bed and it of not run ps1 games very well.

why would i ever need anything other than the portal, this is the perfect handheld considering i carry around a laptop bag already

>>12125728
Silent hill should be no problem on that

>>12125730
You don't need more than a PSP.

>>12125753
3326*

Consoomed XU zero 28

>>12125772
*3128

>>12125779
mini zero 28 is great, I really like how quiet the buttons are and it's surprisingly comfy for how small it is, it's become my ps1 and below console of choice despite its size

>>12125772
>>12125786
You don't need more than 128mb of RAM.

>>12125791
Yeah seems like what I wanted out of my rg28xx.
I love that thing but the dpad is miserable and so are the buttons. Simply too small and sensitive

Every day I wake up and thank god for blessing us with the ROCKCHIP 3326.
Everything humanity has achieved throughout the ages: discovering fire, the bronze and iron ages, countless wars, the water peoples, dozens of empires, going to the moon and back; all pale against the moment the 3326 was born.
It's only been downhill from there.

>>12125834
If you love it so much why don't you marry it?

>>12125727
>N64
yes, although I did drop it to half rez. Still has issues with Pilotwings 64 but so does everything I guess

>>12125692 (OP)
3DS, my favorite old school retro handheld.

>>12125846
This not the 3DS. Stop triggering me

>>12125830
hope you like it, my only complaint is the shoulders hurt to use after an extended time so i usually don't play games that utilize them heavily

>>12125692 (OP)
I am justified. I just bought an MSI Claw A8 BZ2EM. Fully AMD. Not Intel. Making sure you know that. I am Holy and Righteous. x64. Full Instruction Set. Full Linux. Any Linux. Drivers Built into the Kernel. MSI Claw 8 AI+ A2VM is tainted and Un-Holy. Redditors seethe. Handheld users who use ARM are cucked. Locked bootloader. Locked device tree. Peasants, unable to afford a true x64 device that can run anything.
Shackled to Sly and Devious Chinamen, not based Taiwanese Republic of China truth tellers.

How's that ANBERNIC, Ayn, Miyoo, LMAOing at your cuck life and locked device tree and lack of software compatibility.

>>12125882
You should have bought an 'eck instead.

>>12125890
I am justified. I am Holy. Your choice is bad. My choice superior.

>>12125898
'eck

>>12125901
Neutral. Ambivalent. Not Intel. Not ARM. Still not superior.

>>12125901
Sorry I expect my handheld to be a handheld I can actually carry around and hold in front of my face comfortably

>>12125882
the only problem I have with these handheld PCs is that they're all ugly as fuck cringe machines. At least the steam deck looks ok but MSI, Lenovo and Asus are the equivalent of Korn, limp bizket and slipknot

>>12125908
Have you tried not being a cripple.

>>12125908
Lifting weights and exercise fixes this Un-Holy degeneration.

why are all pc handhelds the size of a skateboard
i just want a slightly smaller deck for my small hands (thanks for the shitty genes mom)

>>12125914
it's okay i have big hands and the deck still feels retarded to use

So how satisfied are you with your Thor?

>>12125946
I'm thinking about getting one, or a Retroid Flip 2, to use on flights for watching movies as well as vidya.

So what's the deal with Azahar vs Citra MMJ?

I've heard repeatedly that Azahar is the most accurate and therefore superior emulator and that MMJ is worse because it relies on hacks

But does this really mean anything in practice? I tested some games in Azahar and MMJ on my phone as well as my N3DSXL. But I swear MMJ looked and played the same as on my N3DS . If anything MMJ ran smoother than Azahar. It even solved some UI scaling issues in Fire Emblem and Etrian Odyssey that were present in Azahar. What am I missing exactly? What exactly is so bad about these "hacks"?

>>12126017
I like my flip a lot, don't really feel the urge for the thor at all desu

>>12126101
Azahar is in development by the original Citra devs while Citra MMJ isnt.
That's pretty much it.

>>12126104
Yeah I'm 50/50 on them and probably won't make a decision until next year anyway. If I'm being honest the second screen on the Thor probably isn't going to see much play, since I'm mostly looking to play PS2 and arcade games.

Yes, I get it, >mediakek, but does this Gamehub thing actually run not 3D heavy stuff on T618? Would low end unityshit be a tall order?

>>12125946
love mine, only bad thing so far is MelonDS DS is being a bitch and crashing randomly

I think I like my Retroid Pocket 5 more than my Switch 2 right now. It's just the perfect size. You think I could get Sea of Stars running on Gamehublite on this thing?

Has the chinkheld community ever be so thoroughly, aggressively chinked and shilled as by the Thor?

>>12125882
how is that battery life?
do you get to play anything at all in 2 hours?

>>12125914
'nigg win600.

>>12126416
I thought that sucked ass

>>12126416
The cheapest SKU of the Ayn Loki was just a better Win600 back when it was around.

>>12125914 (me)
i just found out that antec sells rebranded ayaneo slides for under 400€, its just the size i was looking for and its got a beefier chip than the steam deck
anyone have any experience with this one? according to retro catalog it can emulate literally everything including ps3

>>12126418
>>12126463
it does suck, but it's small and honestly i would use it for 200X pc gaming.

>>12125913
I can bench 190. Deck form factor still sucks. Odin portal is the perfect size and weight.

Anything bigger than a GBA SP/NDS is too big.
I got a retroid pocket 2+ and that one already feels too long for me. GBA SP was the perfect handheld form factor, but I understand the need to compromise for the aspect ratio of more modern games.
I already hate how big the switch is when undocked, never getting a rp5, that shit is looong

>>12126584
my tolerance goes up to vita size.
anything is too much, even the switch lite.

>>12126418
>>12126463
It's legitimately good.

>>12125914
Its to compromise for a multitude of reasons, like having a big enough screen for modern 3D games, a big enough battery because of the power draw associated with some APUs + to fit the demand of brainlets trying to run modern AAA games on portable devices, and also to compensate for a good enough fan when said device starts to rapidly heat up.

I don't know guys. Why don't you just buy those phone accessories. Kinda steamdeck like but with a device you already own.

>>12126618
I want a dedicated place for my games, I don't want to waste my phone's battery, and the controller thingies are always ugly with your phone, wonky and never work the way they should

Konkr 8GB 8G3 or RP6?

>>12126650
>all-glass front on both
Neither of them

Is an retroid 4 pro worth picking up? would it be able to run PS2 or GC?

>>12126706
If you can get it used for $80-100

>>12126650
Flip 3

>>12126626
>>12126618
yeah, I tried doing that and it's so cumbersome having to remove/setup the controller all the time plus it looks so ugly, drains the battery etc.

Happy I got the flip2 and decided to stick with it. I really is a great form factor, excellent color scheme (snes US), OLED screen and the button layout feels perfect. Only issue is the hinge but I'm very gentle with mine. Thanks to all the bros who convinced me not to get a switch2, seems that would have been a stupid decision. Better to be happy with what you've got than waste it on garbage.

>>12126706
Adequately but not amazingly. I'd still be playing mine even after the 5 came out, but I needed that Flip 2.

>>12126354
Battery life is Righteous. You assume SBC, ARM, more power efficient. You are wrong. You do not understand TDP control down to 5w or lower. x64 supremacy.

https://www.techpowerup.com/340779/amd-claims-arm-isa-doesnt-offer-efficiency-advantage-over-x86

>>12126821
>In a now-deleted article from ComputerBase, AMD claimed
Hmm...

>>12126821
You can just say how long the battery lasts if it's so impressive, right?

>>12126826
>>12126832
I have said as you say before. Battery life is righteous. My choice is superior. Yours inferior, Un-Holy.

>>12126650
We don't know shit about the RP6, but it will probably going to be raw power vs oled screen.
I'm going with the Pocket Fit unless Retroid does something interesting with the RP6.

>>12126870
>Android 14.
DOA

>>12126886
isn't it 16 that doesn't let you sideload apps?

>>12125692 (OP)
You guys ARE actually gaming on these things, right? Post completions.

>>12127016

currently nearing the end of bravely default but it's tedious so also playing super mario rpg and ff7

i miss Brother Zhou releasing 2 h700 devices a month

>>12127050
He ran out of different form factors to put it in.

So, I only want to buy one handheld. No interest in collecting.

Should I go ahead and spend $250 if I want "perfect" fifth gen and earlier?

>>12127089
Only fifth gen? Then you don't even have to spend that much.

>>12127016
Streets of Rage 2, was ok

>>12127051
They really didn't. They just lack imagination.

Concepts that haven't been done.

>3:4 aspect ratio screen
>game gear nostalgia size and form factor
>nomad size nostalgia size and form factor
>nostaliga size and form factor for more niche handhelds (turbo express, etc)
>handheld with rotating screen to switch between 4:3 and 3:4
>handheld with controls on both horizontal and vertical sides
>handheld with d-pad and analog stick that can swap/rotate placements
>dual screen handheld that splits apart into two mini-handhelds for two players

>>12127091
Even for N64?

>>12127089
Get something with a 4:3 screen

>>12127102
The Air X and the Pocket Air Mini cost less than $100 and can play N64, Saturn, DC and PSP at full speed. But if you're willing to spend that much, then get a 476H for one of the nicest 4:3 screens currently available plus full speed PS2 and GC.

>>12127016
I only got mine like a week ago so I've gotten about halfway... maybe 2/3rds the way through Beyond Oasis. I didn't actually know much about it other than I heard people say it was good but wow, it's great. I'm glad I got this 6-button model to properly be able to have a Sega-style experience with it, too.

>>12126870
What model of Konkr are you looking at?

>>12127097
A Game Gear sized handheld of today could support a 4:3 screen size of 6.5".

>>12127158
G3 Gen 3 12GB

How are the thorsisters holding up? How're you feeling?

>>12127051
>>12127097
Some easier ones are Miyoo Mini and Mini Flip competitors with the 28XX screen, a 40XX-SP, a 16:9 XX device, and various iterations of the slide concept. Really there's lots of things they could do.

can you guys recommend a handheld for me?
i just want:
>up to ps1 (ps2 would be cool but no deal breaker)
>save state/load state buttons (or something configurable
>relatively easy to stream from
>~$200

>indiegogo changes it so you can't see shipping costs until end of campaign
>90% of questions/comments on chinkheld campaigns are about shipping costs
What did IGG mean by this?

What's the best budget gaming phone? I can't find anything good. Most don't even have SD card slots for expandable storage anymore or headphone jacks...
Do any of you guys have a phone you really like for emulation?
I want to be able to do PS2 and I need it to have an SD card slot. I'm willing to pay up to $500, but no more than that and preferably less.

>>12127347
Motorola still makes good phones with SD card slots and headphone jacks, just got the G Stylus 2024 for $200 a few months ago. This is more /g/ related so go on their smartphone general, they have links to sites where you can filter all the features you need and find the phone that fits your checklist.

>>12127271
Vertical or horizontal?

>>12127353
Thanks Anon.

I hope rp6 isn't using the same shit top screen from the Thor. Seems to have some serious image retention issues.

what is the most big handheld with android as a OS?

i'm talking about 7 or 8 inches

>>12127403
Odin 2 Portal.

>>12127016
>>12127049
I beat Second on RP4P. The undisputed best job system in any JRPG imo.

>>12127097
>They just lack imagination.
This. Anbernic's one and only move is to just make an H700 version of something another company recently teased.

>>12127097
>handheld with d-pad and analog stick that can swap/rotate placements
This is the one I would want.
>dual screen handheld that splits apart into two mini-handhelds for two players
This could be interesting.

>>12127481
Chinkheld buyers don't have friends

>>12127403
Deck, bluestacks

>>12127403
you want the portal, it's the best handheld next to the RP5 until someone gets off their ass and makes emulators support newer cpus as well

How often do these chinkheld companies drop/revamp the physical design for the next version in the same line?
I'm liking the design on the Pocket Air Mini so much that I'm considering getting two because I'm wary that a hypothetical PAM2 would radically change the handheld design (for the worse)

>>12127541
I don't think RP2S even lasted a year

>>12127486
Can confirm, they all died in the console wars

>>12127512
>Xbox in 2025 be like

>>12127541
>I'm wary that a hypothetical PAM2 would radically change the handheld design (for the worse)
what do you mean?

>>12126578
190 Grams? Un-Holy. I am justified. I just bought an MSI Claw A8 BZ2EM. Fully AMD. Not Intel. Not ARM, Not Odin Portal.
