Is there any cope for input lag besides retroarch runahead?

Help me bros, what is the cheapest (and smallest) device for psp?
If I understand correctly, it must be android (for vulcan).

Is it safe to put my crypto wallet on one of these handhelds or anything sensitive or is Uncle Chang getting all the data.

>>12141876
MagicX Mini 28 but uh, you need good eyesight

>>12141890
Chinkheld makers always pick the lamest colors. They never hold a candle to some of the sexiest colors the DS and 3DS had.

>>12141873 (OP)
I got the Retro Power color for this masterpiece and now after seeing this render I'm thinking maybe black would have been better. Can't decide.
>>12141890
Cobalt was cringe. Metallic teal was the tits.

Ayaneo won

How did Ayaneo and Ayn come out of nowhere and release the hottest handhelds around.

>Everyone hates the rk3659
>There is no other competitor for his price.
Anbernic FUCKING WON

Ayaneo the konkror

>>12141906
lmao nice try shoehorning aynus in there retroon

>>12141898
The black one looks boring to me

>>12140176
I dont get it, doesn't Android also need you to add ROMs? Or is there an Android loophole in which they can send you the roms without issues?

I dont get this reason to abandon Linux.
But I love flashing OS' and ROMs to my systems.

>>12141901
I won by getting a Pocket Air Mini
I'll win even harder if AYN upgrades the Odin 3 Mini to have an OLED screen and an SDG3G3

Heads up, RP5 is 169 on ali right now

>>12142027
not real

Still really looking forward to my Konkr Pocket Fit bros. Gonna be my main handheld going forward.

i dont think i could ever look at a android handheld again, that 7 frame input lag on the rp5 blackppilled me to oblivion

>>12142050
you might rethink that after watching this
https://youtu.be/eiAJKMkXYC0

>>12142038
Retard.
Ignore the $15 jewyawk tax
Fuck FUCK I really really dont need a THIRD RP5

is beetle saturn to demanding for rp5? Tried Grandia with it and there are major graphical issues, huge framerate drops and weird blue deinterlacing. With yabasanshiro, everything runs perfectly and it looks amazing.

>>12142095
yeah youd be a sucker giving retroid any money

Thats it.
I have to fucking stop.
This is my last ever chinkheld.
I have dozens
This is fine, a great deal and it will ship before the 11/11 and black friday disasters.
Between this the rp5 and the mini and my flip 2 and my deck I can play literally anything in bed
I'm not a consoomer I just care about small portable devices.
We all die. It doesnt matter what you can play if you're dead. Its better to enjoy what I have.
I'm not a consoomer. I'm not a hoarder just a collector and my collection is finished.
I will never again buy a handheld until there is a massive, multi generational leap in performance.
I'm done.
There's literally no reason to own dozens of these even though I feel massive regret on ones I "missed out" on like the metal RP2s.
My rp4p mogs it, I dont care I dont need it I dont want it.
They all do the same thing.
I will not buy the RGDS. I dont care about the Thor.
I have dozens of DS and 3DSes. Its ok if a few of them get scratched up. We all die. I will die.
I can die right this second and having a lot of pristine devices won't get my heart beating again.
I can use things without needing a "backup". It doesnt matter.

>>12142115
but anon... the new linuxchinkheld that plays ps3, xbox, and 360 is just around the corner... surely you don't want to miss out on all those huge libraries?

why is jewy so auraful?

>>12142132
unironically after ps3, there's no reason to make new handhelds afterwards

>>12142115
I'd be interesting in reading a blog post about why you bought to many to begin with.

>>12142067
this is actually pretty interesting, from what I'm gathering from multiple posts about people testing latency with original hardware on crts it seems to hover around 50ms. I haven't looked into it in detail but it seems like it could be possible to actually have the same or less lag than original hardware with oled and properly configured run ahead settings.

https://youtu.be/z4rKcObEz1c?si=VEaktzkUCaKQMhSh
Looks like it's still 1gb of ram so x55 and the retroons are still the best for portmaster games that need 2 or higher.

Is the Antec Core HS/Ayaneo Slide a good X86-held?
Wanting something less girthy to lug around than the Steam Deck.

>>12141987
Everyone can just add their own roms, but for companies like powkiddy and the like, their linux handhelds only did well for not having to set them up since they come preloaded with roms. Their android handhelds don't have that problem since most people in china know android. The x28 is their most popular device domestically for that reason. Chip companies like snapdragon also don't work with you if you sell devices with roms included if you don't have permission.

>>12142221
>it could be possible to actually have the same or less lag than original hardware with oled and properly configured run ahead settings.
It's 100% possible, even on Android.
But a lot of anons are behind the times or simply ignorant.

>>12142095
>Is slower than RG557
>less RAM

>doesn't support USB-C display output

But WHY?

>>12141895
Powkiddy has fun colors.

>>12142067
I already knew about this but never correct lagdroid posts because I hate android so much and am always trying to save people from it

>>12142221
>>12142240
how would one do that?

>>12142258
why do you hate android?

>>12142259
Learn about how to configure latency controls in emulators.
Research screen type and operating system of your handheld of choice.
Learn how to de-bloat and possibly install custom firmware on your device.

>>12142260
I could write a 10 page essay about all the problems with Google and Sundae .
Other then that its a product rather then a OS that pushes people to buy things , wastes recourses with bloat that causes lag on low end devices , being proprietary causes support issues even with a large and motivated community and it feels like a phone(work , boring) rather then a gaming device (fun) .

>>12142242
Literally all of that is wrong kek other than raw benchmark speed and ram is wrong kek
It doesnt matter when you're stuck with mediakek drivers though

>>12142272
Yes but android has better mali drivers.
N64 is fairly dogshit on linux with A133 and 3566 but on android most if not all games run at full speed.
Less so with DC and PSP but its still better than on linux
You guys are just dumb and dont know how to turn off vsync in retroarch.

>>12142221
>properly configured run ahead settings.
how do I do that?

>>12142315
NTA, you dont need run ahead usually.
Just do this. Applies to android and linux

>>12142314
Super retarded reply that shows no reading comprehension.
I have no real performance problems with android other then on low end devices and those suffer most with lag while just navigating the system ui since the andorid UI is heavier then most low end emulators .
Also I play PSP and N64 play fine on my 353m at full speed with only a slight OC so I don't know what your talking about. Does get hot af though

>>12142342
>PSP
>353M
>fullspeed
Bullshit. Pick 2

want a brick but it's so old now I can't help but feel like something better is just around the corner

>>12142353
I have only tested the battlefronts because I'm to busy having a rich full life but they are full speed .
But like I said my complaints with android are not about emulator performance

>>12141901
>>12141906
>>12141914
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.

>>12141879
Yes. It's going to Uncle Chang. Direct Upload. Especially under ARM.

>>12142398
>Fully AMD
Bro you're buying nukes for isreal

>>12142334
why wouldn't you use run ahead/preemptive frames assuming your handheld can handle it? not sure what the difference is between those two

Today Im going to set up sync thing on my handheld and PC and I bet it will just work flawlessly from the start and it totally wont nuke all my saves randomly every now and then

not upgrading from my flip 2 until they start making windows handhelds that are the same size

>>12142521
>windows on arm

>>12142398
Don't reply me, retard.

I got an anbernic without joysticks that was recommended here, I think it was the RG35XX Plus, and beat the first Bonk on the TurboGrafx-16 with it. Which chinkheld is good to play N64, Saturn, Playstation, and maybe Dreamcast? I plan to get one next year.

>>12142556
Steam Deck.

>>12142556
Assuming you want to avoid lagdroid either the 'eck on the high end or potentially the new Trimui Smart Pro S depending on how strong the chip is (we will know in a couple weeks)

>>12142549
Neophyte.

>>12142556
>saturn
>playstation
Massively different hardware requirements there.

>>12142526
The gpd win 1 is smaller than the flip 2. The win 2 is the same size.

So I'm thinking about buying a Trim UI Brick in Purple since it's only gonna cost me like 3 bucks out of my pocket since I have a refund credit on my amazon account.

These aren't retro handhelds go to /v/

>>12142138
Because he never hides the fact that he’s a Retroid shill, every one of his posts linking to Retroid devices very much are affiliate links.

>>12142556
If you want to play Dreamcast or Saturn, that’s going to push you into Android territory.

>>12142616
have you used a small windows handheld, at least gpd ones?
they get ridiculously hot when gaming and the battery dies quick, don't even think about gaming while charging too if you don't want to end up with nerve damage that you'll feel when you're older.
the future is ARM

>>12142591
>potentially the new Trimui Smart Pro S depending on how strong the chip is (we will know in a couple weeks)
Some people are posting rumors that the Pro S will have the A523 and Android.

>>12142682
Would this be worth it even if I have a Konkr Pocket Fit ordered?

>>12142708
Completely different use cases.

>>12142708
why would you need more than one handheld?

>>12142715
Yeah that's what I was thinking. Honeslty I'd just like a companion device to my big dick handheld, that I could like throw in my pocket and use on my breaks at work.

>>12142705
It is a523 (a527 without video out). it's still linux, but they just mean android works better on the chip.

>>12142717
I suppose I don't, I just like the way the TrimUi Brick looks I guess.

>>12142721
Yes, that's pretty much its use case. Non-stick games (so basically 16-bit era) on the go.
Though you might find the screen a bit on the small side, depending on what you want to play. It's surprisingly good quality, however, for its price tier.
Also, if you have large hands, it's somewhat cramped.

>>12142732
If it can play up to Game Boy Advance that's basically all I need it to do.

>>12142727
Trimui tend to lowball their RAM amounts, but I hope this time they go with 4 GB. I've noticed that the only A523 device from the handheld spreadsheet has 4 GB, so hopefully the Pro S will be similar.

while trimui devices look good, their custom firmware never received the kind of attention that anbernic, miyoo or powkiddy did and therefore is shit compared to muos, onion or batocera. I know knulli is available now for trimui devices which is good but I don't think it's at the level of muos.

>>12142734
Then it should be a good fit.
Personally, I haven't used mine too much. Waiting for CrossMix v1.4.0, so I can directly move my microSD from the Pro to it. And also have launch scripts which don't whack the CPU frequency to max for some piddly 16-bit emu.
The stock OS comes with heavily overboosted clocks, leading to the common complaint of the metal heatspreader (on the top half of the device's back) getting quite warm.

>>12142736
1gb. The video was deleted, but it's still 1

>>12142743
Ew. Hopefully they do a quick revamp and add at least another gig.

>>12142737
but muos is available for the smart pro and brick

>>12142115
I really want one of these too but the lack of analog input in the triggers kinda kills it for me

Not to mention, I think the perfect 4:3 device should have a six button layout

>>12142583
>>12142591
I see, then I guess I'll just need a good SD card, my Deck's already filled with games that don't work on my PC and indie games.

>>12142739
I'm also considering the Miyoo Flip V2 cause I dig the GBASP aesthetic.

>>12142843
I really hate sticks on verticals (Flip V2 is also a vertical, just foldable), which is why I got the Brick in the first place.

what's the best SP clone right now?

>>12142728
having more than one device is not a good idea.
you'll be constantly conflicted on which device to play a game on and you'll never finish games you'll be start and go, and then you'll get more devices and so on.

>>12142874
RG34XXSP is the king right now. The Miyoo mini flip might be a contender but it's also too small.

>>12142940
Mini Flip is the best by virtue of being actually EDC-able and seemingly having a good hinge (although that might change). If you want a handheld for longer gaming sessions you'd choose something bigger anyways.

Are you ready for RP6?

>>12142970
No. I'm still going with the Konkr.

>>12142874
V90

>>12142940
>Joysticks

Quite like this thing

bros, which handheld u are using for old games (SNES/GBA/PS1)? I can buy something like RP5 but it's overkill, also Miyoo Mini Plus kinda cool but too small.... HELP

>>12143012
I don't have one yet, but I'll get an RP Classic for those consoles as soon as it goes on sale

>>12143012
Trimui Smart Pro

maybe wait for the Smart Pro S refresh, it should be able to properly handle PSP, N64, DC etc

>>12143004
You should try installing and playing vice city on it instead of watching someone else play it

>>12142334
Turning vertical sync off is an outdated method. These days the best settings have it turned on.
Anon and yourself should do research about optimal latency settings.
And yes, you do need runahead for best possible settings.

>>12143012
Ayaneo Pocket Air Mini

>>12142398
why do I feel like I've seen this post of anon shilling his MSI thing before

>>12143004
Why are you watching somebody else play video games on your portable video game playing device you fucking idiot.

>>12143106
Literally a cuckheld

>>12143124
He posted a magic x handheld, not an anbernic.

What's the best / cheapest option for PS2 emulation? RP5? I currently just have a MM+ for everything before that I use while on the go. Looking for something I can use at home that doesn't break the bank

>>12143210
Should I get a Miyoo Flip v2 or a RG3XX-SP?
And why?

I consider Anbernic to have better build and quality but I have not seen either of these in the flesh.

What about hinges, or buttons.

Alternativelly, should I get v90S for my cousins? I am considering R36 vs v90s, they will only play GBA and SNES, no need for earphones or power.

>>12142897
>you'll be constantly conflicted on which device to play a game on and you'll never finish games you'll be start and go, and then you'll get more devices and so on.
Just segregate them by platform. Ex. my RG505 is for PSP and undemanding porn games (RPGM through JoiPlay, VNs, Android ports of random stuff etc.), my Trimui Model S is exclusively for GB/GBC (not like other platforms look good on it in the first place), and my Smart Pro is for general 8/16 bit emu (except GB/GBC, as mentioned), and those Portmaster games which actually run decently on it.

>>12143210
RP4 Pro @ $150 is probably the floor.
RP5 is still good but I wouldn't get it for retail price now that the G2 and 6 are announced.

>>12143225
Miyoo Flip hinge is critically unreliable, do not get.

You only need one good 4:3 device and one good 16:9 device with a large screen
Abandon the desire for a dual screen device

>>12143242
this works too but it really is better to just have one jack of all trades instead of juggling a bunch of chinkhelds

>>12143276
that's what I've been saying 99% of ds games emulate just fine with a big top screen and small bottom screen or toggling between them. anything else that needs the screens lined up or fast touch controls can be played with a cheap drawing tablet on pc

>>12142874
I'm happy with the RG35XXSP due to the aspect ratio. I can take the hit on not having exact GBA scaling as it works better for CRT based systems.

Tweaked with the handheld a bit today and managed to write rocknixs immutable boot partition to the emmc and also get morrowind working fully

>>12143349
I wish the RG34XXSP had no twin sticks, it looks off with sticks, the RG35XXSP is more pleasing, but it feels bigger compared to RG280V in the size comparison page.

How does it feel in your pocket?

Also, does it have the infamous buttons issue? I do not know which of the two RGXX-SP to get regarding the buttons.

What's the Miyoo Flip like for playing Playstation how smooth would something like Metal Gear or Clock Tower run?

>>12143416
3566, so fine for both unless you mean the mini flip in which I have no idea.

>>12142398
'eck

>>12142263
>just do this
>>how?
>just learn how to do it
and telling someone to install custom firmware for fucking runahead settings is retarded, it's completely unrelated

>>12143408
While the RG35XXSP is a tiny bit bigger than a real GBA-SP I haven't found it to be uncomfortable, both in holding or carrying around. I'm fine with the slight extra heft, but it's a subjective thing if you're used to light handhelds.
Yes, the buttons are noticeably clicky but again, I'm fine with that. Anyway it's an easy enough fix to do yourself if you find it bothersome.

>>12143408
forget about the looks, what are you gay? you don't look at sticks while playing.
its a near perfect gba clone and the sticks are there if you wanna use them or not for whatever reason {alternative control, hotkeys, etc.)
I've shelved my gba sps and gba collection since getting it, it's that good.

is there any way to get .glsl shaders on the switch version of retroarch?
I looked it up and the solution is to switch video renderer to GL, I have it set to gl but the shaders don't show up in the selection, only .glslp

Waiting for this to be send

>>12143579
original hardware is obsolete. I've been meaning to sell my ds and 3ds I've just been too lazy and I'll never buy another console again.

My soul weeps at the realization that we'll probably never get a vertical handheld as aesthetic as the original RG35XX series again.

Just one more rerelease of these with an OLED panel and I'll never need another handheld again.

You actually can do an even more dynamic transformation than that image depicts. You could cut up the screen and rotate each little icon and resize it where you want it. This is GPU intensive, but not really a problem for modern hardware.

I think this is all already possible with lots of manual tinkering with reshade.

With ReShade you can set up a "peek" hotkey which will display a game in uncropped and pillarboxed form, and then when released go back to a cropped display.

Thanks I dont mind the clicky thing, I consider it a feature, I love idiosyncratic devices like the RG280V, quirky is good for me. I meant the thing about buttons breaking the membrane. I care for longevity of buttons. Have you heard anything about that? Do you notice wear?

>>12143587
I am a bit effeminate and decorate my home like a real faggot, I am a designer of sorts, so kinda... I mean I am straight and get your point, I am not that anal (lel) about it being a perfect clone beyond size, the sticks are just a bit too quirky for me but might grow to love them. How about the buttons, do you feel wear thus far? I am afraid of the wearing thing I have read around these threads, something about membranes breaking.

>>12143640
I have the RG35XX-PLUS (not "+"), aka 2024 version. It lacks the WIFI, but it has the upgraded processor, and runs all the same PortMaster games... I dont miss the WIFI, I get Cheeves using my flimsy Miyoo Mini + at home.

The RG35XX 2024 is superb as Music Player (using Rockbox) it his hardened compared to Miyoo Mini, and the Dracula Purple is amazing (way better than AtomicGay), Purple must be Vampiric like Yesterday's 4chan theme.

RG35XX+ might have WIFI but it does not have Vampire Purple.

>>12143960
On an RG35XX-SP the buttons will pierce through the membranes and damage the contacts after several months of usage. In the revision (Any transparent model) they have a fix for this for the face buttons already implemented, but the d-pad was not fixed.

All you need to do is print some of these:
https://www.printables.com/model/1016431-ring-cover-for-og-buttons-replacement-buttons-and
Open up your system, and slip them onto the silicone membrane. That's it. They're essentially minor risers that prevent the dome piercing. It has to be done pretty much asap when you get it or it will eventually make the system unusable.

how do you do a cc chargeback?
dont they do an investigation to make sure you're not trying to steal?

>>12143856
mine have shown no signs of wear, they feel great, they're dome switch like the sp so they're clicky and never get mushy or stuck.
and in case youre thinking they get in the way, you can literally forget the sticks are there when you play games because they dont stick out or touch you when you play

That would be usefull.
Moreso, this is what lazy ass fucking devs should do for all of their re-releases. Look at the mega man games, they could very easy move the HUD elements off the screen, freeing up the 4:3 play area. This would only be romhack tier shit.

Is it still complete dogshit?
Were all the colors fucked or just the gray?
I've read that the dpad and buttons are leagues better than the 35xx and 34xxsp

>>12144282
It should be fine now, but do you really want a vertical with sticks?

>>12143972
Are you implying there is a DS console by Powkiddy?

>>12143973
Wait this is about the 35XXSP or 34XXSP?

I must get a transparent one, then, but which one 35 or 34? Which one has better buttons?

Do we know?

Also what is wrong with the D-pad? The same pierce issue, or just a comfort issue?

I have retroid mini and was not satisfied with the size of integer gba, so i tried to look for a better option and they are all worse even the ones purpose made for gba, unironically the only thing better is the thor (which unironically has a similar wsize) but it has dpad on bottom, the state of gba devices is grim af
(i wish the thor had at least swappable dpad and stick)

>>12144332
RG35XX-SP.
>Which one has better buttons?
As far as I understand it the RG34XX-SP has both the d-pad and face buttons fixed.
The release RG35XX-SP (Non-transparent) has both the d-pad and face buttons pierce the domes.
The renewed ones (Transparents and any of the original ones that come with fish paper on the battery) have fixed face buttons but no fixed d-pad.

If you own the original release you need to print washers for both the d-pad and face buttons (8 in total). If you own the renewed release you just need to print washers for the d-pad (4 in total).
>Also what is wrong with the D-pad?
Piercing issue, like I said.

>>12144402
Much obliged

How's the Thor's hinge?

I don't think I can wait on the Anbernic RG DS, I think I'll just settle for either a DS ML or gamble on a refurbished DSi XL/LL on Aliexpress or Japanese ebay. If Ayaneo and AYN can't pull off a relatively low lag DS experience on Android, I guess Anbernic won't be able to do it either.

How are you guys organizing your games? I'm currently using a folder named after the system (following ESDE's naming) with subfolders for hacks, homebrews and other stuff. Subfolders and different naming kinda makes it a bit of a pain to sync properly with Knulli/Batocera, so I am wondering if how others are doing it.

>>12144536
Something like this.

>>12144536
This won't help you but I use Launchbox on PC which will automatically put ROM hacks into the base game's context menu provided they're named properly, which is a feature ESDE should implement.

For Knulli, I downloaded some rebbitor's custom systems config which added Genesis and SFC (which I use for fan translations and such) back in because Batocera removed them for some reason.

man looking at needing to get all this bios shit and turnip drivers and I'm already losing steam. guess I'll have to since my thor got in but fuck lot of headaches. guess yeah why not have 40 different cores for snes right more the merrier and now I need to go through to find out which I actually want (cool)

>>12144292
Mainly would want one for the supposedly 1:1 feeling dpad and button switches.
But if the hinge is still fucked idk even for $35
Iirc the black one generally was the best hinge wise

really not liking "see below"

>>12144489
I love the original DS but the screens just suck.
Again people, there is like 3 games that NEED to have the screens stacked AND have touch based gameplay.
Granted TWEWY is a 10/10 masterpiece so its worth maybe getting 3DS for if you can find one cheap.
That being said the switch port is honestly quite good, the gameplay is less involved but you get extra content and better quality audio.
If you have a 1:1 or close screen you can stack them and still have a decently ok sized image

>>12144649
I still don't fully see the appeal of MelonDS. On x86 devices yes because you can take advantage of much higher rendering resolutions and LAN play, and multiple display settings too which would matter for much larger displays. But for Android devices, is it really that much of a significant improvement over Drastic in terms of performance on low end hardware and shit? Does it somehow have less input lag?

>>12144665
>so its worth maybe getting 3DS for if you can find one cheap
or just getting a DS?

>>12144619
>man looking at needing to get all this bios shit and turnip drivers and I'm already losing steam
not accusing you, but it's really strange how adverse normies are to just doing some slight research on how to easily find bios and roms, I see it all the time, even on the stupider boards on this site and I find it strange

>>12144673
Drastic is the zsnes of DS emulators

>>12144673
Latest drastic still had a graphical issue in nsmb last I checked and audio isn't meant to be accurate. Think of melon as mgba. When you have a device that can run it, just run it.

>>12144739

Can you buy these washers you're talking about? I don't have access to a 3D printer.
I just got a blue rg35xxsp (I thought waiting a year would assure me a new model but I got the old one with the really loud shitty buttons) and I'd like to use it without destroying my dome switches.

>>12144751
I believe you can pay certain online 3D printing services for it, yeah, it's just probably gonna cost more than it's worth. JLC3DP is one I've heard of at least.
Are you in the US or major parts of Europe? Because 3D printers are generally found in libraries around these locations. I know basically all of my local libraries allow for printing stuff like this, and when I did the washers at one of them it was so small they didn't even charge me anything.

I use a combo of the washer mod on the buttons and a riser mod on the dpad.
Washers make the dpad too damn stiff.
I built up 4 small risers that go between the center of the dome switch and the rubber membrane.
That fixes both the piercing issue and makes the buttons much lighter to press than stock.
No good way to make a proper pivot without also making the dpad stiff as shit sadly.
I have opened my nigSP dozens of times at this point trying out different ideas.

>>12144770
I'm in western Canada. AFAIK my local library doees not have one. I live in a pretty rural area. Maybe in a city.

Check in Facebook Marketplace for random 3D printed objects, like pokemon, or Halloween Masks, or other sculptures, usually they are test runs sold for cheap by the guys who own a machine. Contact them through one of those listings, usually they are open for a project and charge you barely above the materials if you ask nicely. Otherwise there might be professional listed services in some commercial index by your town. Online or otherwise.

Any native android games worthwhile? On a handheld you wont want touch focused and most native games I tried where just f2p slop.

retroons wont tell you this but ayn is easily king of the chinkhelds

>>12144987
Yeah I had an rp3+ in its heyday and it was good kinda but I just couldn't adjust to the build quality. The buttons felt so cheap. I hope the Ayn feels like a real handheld

>>12144962
tried one and it felt cheap, maybe it was just a dud

>>12144962
Probably means the shoulder and face buttons. They're sub powkiddy tier. Small face buttons made sense on the model s, but not on a device where you can see the screen

>>12144967
>KOTOR only works with bluetooth controllers
It works with touchscreen, ps3, and anything set as xinput unless aspry changed it.

you lot seem to like the brick a ton. i got one some time ago but found the heat unbearable so i sold it off. is it really not that big of a deal to (you)?

Does anyone else think the Thor and Dual Screen devices are overrated? Like the DS library is mid and 3DS emulation still isn't all there. And if you aren't playing those you'll always have the bottom screen on, or you turn it off and just have a more weightier device for no reason

I just don't care when DS hardware is plentiful and cheap. I picked up a mint condition DSi for $18 on Ebay a while back, put Unlaunch and TWiLight Menu++ on there and it plays all DS shit perfectly, plus GBA and even some lighter emulators if desired. I don't see the point of a chinkheld specifically for it that's compromised for everything else.

It's because of the shit stock firmware. I'm currently waiting for Crossmix (though it's taking a long while), however there's a workaround. You set one of the face buttons to cycle through frequencies, and force the device to run below the scorching 2 GHz it's set to as standard. If you emulate 8/16-bit stuff, you don't really need more than about 1.2 GHz.

What, you don’t have a perfectly good 3DS laying around from your college days?

>>12145809
Well then I don't know what Rajesh was complaining about. Just buy a fucking DSi (XL) and stop complaining about this retarded thing.

>>12146486
I dont' see the point of playing only DS & 3DS games on a Thor. It doesn't do a better job of it.

>>12146580
The two screen form factor?

Im so tempted by the RG DS despite low res screens and bad chip. I just want to run youtube while playing n64 and lower. I like that the dpad is on top unlike the Thor, also I can't justify 350 bucks for the Thor, but 100 is an easy impulse buy.
Do you guys think it would at least be okay enough for that usecase?

>>12146747
>while playing n64 and lower
does he know?

>>12146750
Come on now I was playing (inaccurate emulator) n64 on a phone from like 2013 this chip isn't that bad right
Right????

>>12146750
That chip will play n64 fine
Even rk3566 plays n64 fine

>>12146756
Cool, now load up banjo tooie and tell me about your experience.

>>12146747
I like the idea of RG DS even if it's lower end, what killed my hype is that it can't even do NDS at full speed.

>>12146768
Why would anybody want to play that fucking garbage game?

>>12146808
Nobody here is buying that piece of shit

How well do DS/3DS games work on a horizontal handheld like a RP5 or Odin 2? Can you actually run the dual screens?

zoomers and their reliance on front ends will never stop pissing me off

>>12146912
Should I buy one of these if I already own a 3DS?

>>12146753
bro........

>>12146972
No. The chip in that piece of shit is too weak to play 3DS, it caps out at PSP and Dreamcast. If you want to emulate 3DS stick to original hardware or get a Thor.

>>12146972
Hell no

when's zhou gonna realize no one wants old shitty chips that cap out at the DS anymore?
the future is now and the mangmi and pocket air mini are the standard now for the 100 buck price point, and soon it'll be even cheaper
what's his gameplan? just getting rid of all his stock of old chips before he joins the next gen?

>>12146993
Name a chip with a similar power usage that could be passively cooled , fit in the same dimensions and could also run 3DS at full speed

>>12146912
>Russ doesn't have a review unit
I'm definitely starting to doubt Anbernic if they can't be bothered to ship them out.

>>12146849
>open frontend
uhhh... chud... my system starts into the front-end... meanwhile you have to open each emulator individually to play games instead of just opening a menu??? seems pretty overcomplicated

>>12146838
if you're ok with side-by-side or switching screens they're fine, and the handful of portrait oriented games like Hotel Dusk

So just how minimalist can I make a GammOS install? I want nothing other than the absolute bare minimum + retroarch (which I will also configure to be as minimalist as possible).

>>12146993
His plan is to make money, only because the Pocket Air Mini was said by Ayaneo's CEO to bring attention to the brand instead of profiting. The thing that sucks is that even though the Anbernic DS is flawed and caps out at 2X DS emulation, Anbernic still may create a longer lasting hinge compared to the AYN Thor.

ngl I'm pretty hyped for the Air Pocket Mini. It has pretty much everything I want for an EDC/Slingbag handheld.

>>12146912
>chip isnt even powerful enough for melonDS
>screens unable to do proper integer scaling
What the fuck were they smoking designing this piece of shit??

>>12147083
that can't be the case for mangmi too though could it? if not that means anbernic could have used an equivalent chip and made profit

>>12145628
I think if we start nitpicking niche devices then generals like this wouldn't even exist.

>>12146982

The devs should have toned down the penalties for kicking the downed and weapon usage by a lot, getting the good boy points legitimately sucks out all the fun from a street brawler. And yes, you need the good boy points or the bad boys won't join your team. Fucking japs, man.
The NES version is simpler but much better.
Also, the reputation uses SIGNED integers which no emulator supports in its implementation of the CB/AR/GS/whatever cheats, even if some emus *claim* they do.

I finally got my latest handheld all set up, so I'm ready to buy another one.

Gonna get a Retroid Pocket 6 soon since it looks like it'll do everything I'm going to throw at it at a cheap price. It's going to be my first Android handheld. Should I set up a frontend or what is the normal procedure for these things?

Dai Gyakuten Saiban. Surprisingly it caps at 30FPS so my RP4P can run the switch version without issues.

>>12147281
Does that update often? Cause I'm pretty sure they send updates via email with no way to update in app, and that seems inconvenient.

Why would you not want to look at the box art when selecting your games?

>>12143701
How do I request for a charge back? Why not order 2 or 3 when you do charge back?

>>12147286
I downloaded it once early this year and didn't give a shit about updating it. I'm not a zoomer who must always have the latest version of everything. It works and nothing is broken so why is there a need to update? That said the russkies probably update it religiously .

>>12147270
Should of waited for the 6 bro

>>12147290
Assault, actually

>>12147286
I don't think Daijisho has updated in forever and that runs fine so I think you'll be ok

>>12146747
It will be cheap and on sale in a few months
Just wait

>>12147321
I don't normally care about having the latest thing either, but it's a bit different when it comes to software like emulators and whatnot in my opinion.
>>12147340
Oh okay, cool.

This would be such an incredible deal if it weren't for that dogshit hinge

>>12147393
Is this Walmart's website?

>>12147393
It’s $36

I already bought one. Why not?

>>12147393
I wish the prices in my shithole were just as decent. The same console costs $70 at the official Miyoo store on Aliexpress.

>>12147459
this or the pocket flip mini if I already got an rp5?

>>12147461
>pocket flip mini
The pocket air mini? Probably that one unless you want to emulate switch and play some light pc games

>>12147469
fuck I meant that, had the flip on my mind lol
yeah I was thinking the same, it would be nice to have a cheaper "beater" mini I won't be afraid to take everywhere that can still play everything I'd feasibly want to play when out of the house

>>12144715
feel free to accuse me man lol. also having to find what exact folder each of these bios needs to go in.

>>12147587

that tiny thing would hurt my hands, I already own a vertislop anyways

Considering a Thor, but I have a couple questions for Thor owners ITT.
How well does C to C charging work? I've only owned budget chinkhelds and I don't really see any reviews mentioning if there's issues with C to C or charging in general.
And secondly, do you guys have any recommendations for a HDMI cable or dock? I suppose the Odin dock would be compatible yes?

So close to ordering the Thor but only the black is available now unless I shell out for 12gb ram (useless meme) fuck

>>12147505

How are tariffs rn? I don't wanna drop 400 on a handheld just to be hit with another 100 later on

>>12147662
I think orange retard canceled the 100% one on china

>>12147162
I have no clue with Mangmi, I think they’re doing great shit as a company but I have no clue where they came from. I assume Mangmi might be profiting more at least since it seems like they’re using a very old Snapdragon chip and probably cut a few more corners than Ayaneo normally does. But it’s really hard to tell what companies actually greatly profit from their devices and how much only just break even with the sole purpose of building their brand.

>>12147626
They NEED to do it

>>12147654
Assuming that even is the case, why don't you have a file browser that shows hidden folders?

>retroarch (AArch64) isn't responding
based. hey dude who whined about normies. this is exactly what I love doing having to find out why shit doesn't just work. trying to play star fox for snes off of vimm's lair. very neat. oh uninstalled latest retroarch and tried stable. same problem. black screen not launching.

>>12147684
just use standalone if you can't figure it out

>>12147684
Have you tried updating assets and trying another SNES core?

>>12147681
oh I just got that you meant retroid needs to make a smaller 4:3 flip
that would be cool actually as long as it wasn't too small to make it uncomfortable to use for long periods

>>12147683
>file browser that shows hidden folders?
I was going to act pissy but wow turns out cx file explorer doesn't show hidden folders. could have sworn it used to but I barely use my phone for anything besides calls. thanks. file by google works for that.
>>12147689
>>12147689

What do you guys think about the keylogger that the chinks put into android devices from ayn and retroid?

I don't want shit even if it's "only" $35

>>12147768
>>12147810
the buttons are great what are you talking about retard

My only issue with the 28 is they should have used the white dpad and face buttons for the glacier one instead of transparent, which is purely personal preference

Is there a dedicated tate handheld? The one 35 is too small

>>12147835
Any system with start and select in the dpad side
34xx for example. Remap start and select to 1+2 and there is your dedicated Tate mode

Looks like that PayPal discount ended.
Hope some of you grabbed cheap RP5s and 477Ms

the MagicX Zero 40 isn't popular but its pretty good for tate

>>12147873
Nta and my previous argument was that frontendfags don't play games and instead just like to look at and listen to their frontends, my new argument is that frontendfags are so lazy they can't be bothered to go through a few extra clicks and menus to get to their games because they need that dopamine rush pronto.

But I guess thats the type of T wording you phone boomers enjoy

>>12147883
You'll notice that this wasn't a thing until the last couple of threads. No one gave a fuck about which piracy interface anyone uses until some virginal turboautist started shrieking about how he hates frontends so much he shits himself with rage and beats his pet turtle with a stick. We were all just having fun playing old games and talking about how bad all the new stuff coming outta West Taiwan sucks, and then one smelly third-worlder came in after his daily cow urine bath and decided he didn't like that everyone else was having a good time and wanted to put a stop to that right now.

Thanks for the free (you), fag.

Is it worth it to buy another Thor in case mine breaks? I like the device a lot and I don't know how scarce Ayn products are or if they do revisions

>>12148434
Damn the hinge is that bad?

Was it only the Retroid Flip 1 that had a bad hinge or was it the 2nd as well?

>>12148434
Something better will come out within 2 years and then you will be stuck with 2 obsolete chinkhelds instead of 1 .
If you don't think it will last 2 years even you should buy 0 not 2

>>12148546
Both. Though neither was as bad as the Miyoo Flip's.

>>12148389
You are retarded if that is your threat assesment. Have fun getting assimilated in the botnet, your accounts hacked and identity fraud.

>>12148553
even handhelds made by big companies tend to fail in 2 years

Looking forward to buying the shart pro s a year from now for $40

>>12148616
Nintendo and anbernic are not big companies I bet

>>12148629
>Nintendo
OG DS had screen problems
DS Lite had hinge problems
3DS was probably fucked in ways but I'm not sure
Switch had joycon drift

>>12148635
As far as I know the 3ds hinge was good. Never had one break on me.

>>12148389
You guys don't actually look at porn on your chinkheld, do you?

>>12146718
They confirmed in their shitcord that they did it because preorder numbers were too low initially.

>>12146756
The same way PSP plays SNES fine, if you set frameskip to 10

>>12146849
If retroarch wasn't so autistic there would be no need for frontends
Retroarch should just become a wayland compositor with an actually good menu

>>12147156
They saw the popularity of the MagicX zero 40 and immediately started making their own shitty cheap DS with the same specs

I wish 'nig would do a firesale on the win 600 for like $100 or something.
Love the idea of a small x86 handheld but its just too damn expensive for that ancient cpu

>>12147417
>Why not?
Dogshit software
Dogshit hardware quality

>>12148679
You can run retro arch as its own Wayland session but people prefer emulation station.
Especially since not all consoles have good retroarch cores

>>12148712
I mean it should act like gamescope on the 'eck

>>12148635
I owned 3 of those devices and I was a very neglectful and retarded child .
Never had a problem and eventually sold them in good condition as adult.

first actual demonstration, seems sturdy enough

Rocknix on Thor never ever

>>12148753
Good, it would defeat the entire point of multitasking

>>12148715
Why not just game scope ?
Thats what I do for my HTPC running arch .
Game scope compiles on arm fine but you just need good vulkan to use it

>>12148759

>>12148676
PSP is all you need.

>>12148689
Bro, your winlator and gamehublite?

>>12148390
emm, meds?

What are the chances that someone port Linux to the Pocket Fit?

>>12148912
37%

Its coming

>>12149051
Wish I could be more hype for it. I'll waot for a revision and CFW.

>>12149051
are the sticks plastic wtf who wants smooth sticks

>>12149051
Are those supposed to be circle pads?

>>12149051
Why did they even bother adding sticks to something that cant handle N64 let alone any dual stick system
I guess I can play robotron in mame for what its worth

>>12149087
It can literally play 3DS games.

>>12149118
Extremely basic 2d ones. While also having to crop the top screen because aspect ratio.

>>12149087
For PSX.
Their next version will be powerful enough to play PS2 but won't have the sticks

>>12149180
Powerful and no meme sticks? Sign me up!

>>12149051
Are there any ds games that COULDN'T be run on this things chip? Just ds games.

>>12149232
no but reddit loves to complain

>>12149087
When rocknix build drops you'll be able to play postmaster and the sticks are very useful for that .

Anyone seen if trimui smart pro s had linux in the leak?

>>12149068
>who wants
No one wanted any of this .
From the insufficient screen to the insufficient chip and also the old style sticks this device is designed to move unwanted and aging inventory

>>12149232
IIRC they won't run fullspeed or maybe that's just at 2x

>>12149232
Doesn't matter cause you cant run at integer scale, you cant run an actually accurate emulator and for some games youd have to run at native res
At that point why even buy the fucking thing? Just get a ds

>>12149353
Why couldn't I integer scale? Integer scaling on that screen would still give you a larger output than an actual ds. And then for 3d games who cares?

>>12143763
Wait does this actually work

>>12149051
>Android

>>12149384
No, retard, you would go to jail.

Anyone that owns a Thor are the trigger buttons really that bad? Im used to switch lite where they feel perfect

>>12149402
>sent to jail for committing 250 bucks worth of fraud

>>12149408
Yes they suck and are the consoles biggest flaw I'd say. Do not buy it if you want to play racing games. Love the thing otherwise though

>>12149497
How do they effect ergonomics in general? When I hold a new 3ds i rest my thumbs on the shoulders, is it uncomfortable just holding it because of it? I dont play much that uses triggers just shoulders really

>>12149408
If they're the same ones that are on the Flip 2, then no. Some people are just being little pedantic bitches about them, they're fine.

>>12149495
worth it

>>12143763
Stealing is wrong.

>>12148831
Try running touhou 6 or 7 on winlator I dare you

>>12149028
>>12148912
RP5/miniv2/flip2 chads win yet again

>>12149353
Interpolation shaders exist
