Any news on the Miyoo Flip V3?
Good emulation station firmware for the rg sp yet?And is there any firmware for the rg ds plus yet the let's me have lcd grid + 2x resolution at the same time?
>>12899346Yeah, I've always hated these fucking people, you included of course. But actually the thread has become less annoying than it was last year, thanks to some of these fuckers going away. The result of some of these devices being "solved"GBA? Solved.Genesis? Solved.GBC? Solved.PS1? 64? Dreamcast? SNES? PS2? Solved. DS? RG DS+ is about 90% solved. Needs another gb of RAM. 3DS. Solved except for the 3D.Saturn? Not solved. Playable on steamdeck tier devices, but not with the ideal controls. We need an Arc plus.

>>12899438>RG DS+ is about 90% solved. Needs another gb of RAM.It still needs a few fixes besides the RAM.>A slightly better chip because the amount of ridiculous tricks the BananaOS guy has to pull out of a hat just to get MelonDS working on the thing is ridiculous and he shouldn't need to do what he does.>It needs the size culled by a decent amount because both the RG DS and RG DS+ are so obscenely huge it's insane. It's like holding a small tablet.>Better L and R buttons with softer pushes and easier depression because right now they're very difficult to use in shooter games for example and only really work at all on non-shooter games. Not at all like a real DS and playing those games how you would a DS is cramp city.>Included stylus should be with the felt tip or the disc tip, not the rubber one. Rubber one is unusable.>3DS. Solved except for the 3D.We have to see how the DDS turns out because right now it seems like it's gonna need a revision just to reduce the size on top of whatever issues it'll have at launch that it will 100% have at launch.For the true 3DS and DS endgame it would have to be what that guy a thread or two ago suggested where you have a 3DS-style system but screens that allow you to integer scale both 3DS and DS in parity (I think it was 4x for 3DS and 9x for DS? I forgot the exact screen sizes he showed). The 3D effect just isn't happening and we all have to accept that, but they can do it. True true endgame would be to get the people making replacement DS and 3DS screens to do custom resistive bottom screens for one of these companies (Likely Anbernic) so that you'd get the actual intended feel. The first company that spends that money basically wins unless they do something astronomically stupid like try and make the thing 16:9 or something.

Even when it came out, everyone agreed the 3D effect was a pointless gimmick and it isn't hyperbole to say that almost everyone forgot about it like a week after use.
>>12899636>The one single Magic X fan says thisI say this because I own one of these things. The RG DS on its own is nearly as big as a Switch 1's screen. It's insanely huge.>Even when it came out, everyone agreed the 3D effect was a pointless gimmickNo, not the 3D effect, the resistive touch screen. The major point of contention of all these things is that we're stuck using a screen technology that none of the games were designed for and when you actually try to play these games that focus on the screen you will feel how you constantly drop inputs and the styli require essentially dead center presses to even register a lot of the time. Anbernic already only ships the RG DS+ with Linux so it's not like they can't just make some future device Linux only to account for the resistive screen.

Resistive touch screens have no multi touch capability.
>>12899684DS and 3DS games do not and never have had multi-touch inputs. This entire point is pointless. A system that came with these screens would also be on Linux to sidestep the issue of Android so there'd be absolutely zero need for such a screen on top of it.

I did it. Didn't have any sandpaper so just used the rough side of a dish sponge kekOne pass vertically and another horizontal on the edge of each direction You can see the difference compared to the middle but which is still super shiny/worn.It feels significantly better too, was hating how slick the dpad started to feel.

>>12900142when PDDs finally become good (as in a not goofy bulky as shit formfactor) and see widespread adoption as a result, chinkhelds won't even have to bother with screens anymore, they'll just be little controller boxes with a soc inside that you plug your PDD (or your tv, if you prefer to while at home) intowe're a long way from that though, since no PDD manufacturer can figure out how to make their shit not retardedly goofily xbox hueg and cumbersome
>>12900227>they'll just be little controller boxes that you plugWhat you're saying is easily achievable with a phone and a gamesir lmao, I guess the future is a flat circle
>>12900098Good for you, I thought your idea was stupid and retarded so I'm goad it worked out for you. Now you can charge people money to do d-pad "mods".

>>12900227>when PDDs finally become goodPersistent Depressive Disorder?
>>12900004>it effects nothing.You've never emulated touch-focused DS games on these capacitive screens and it shows. The inputs are not even close to the same. The styli either require you to push hard to even register (The rubber domed ones) or dead center on the location (The disc ones), using your finger is clearly off and does not lead to a smooth experience like using an actual DS or 3DS, and it does not register things like flicking inputs or quick inputs as accurately as the resistive screens did. There is a very clear and obvious difference playing games like Rhythm Heaven, Ouendan, TWEWY, Metroid Prime Hunters, Moon, Ninja Gaiden, and the Zeldas on these things than on original hardware. Everything about everything on the touch screen feels off. Zelda felt the closest to me on BananaOS using BananaDS but that's because there's a lot of dragging motions (Something Kirby Canvas Curse also works fine with), but as soon as I had to try stabbing or dodge rolling it loved not reading the inputs at all. TWEWY was a complete pain in the ass because it was not registering taps and slashes mid-combat or even dropping things like held inputs because I was pushing but not hard enough.These aren't issues on the DS or 3DS. If I play these games exactly like I do on those systems it simply does not work the same at all and in Rhythm Heaven specifically I can't imagine trying to superb everything on these screens. The amount of times my inputs didn't register is insane.

>>12899958Is that Red Letter Media's Rich?
drawing tablets wonned they're the only thing capable of emulating touch games
>>12900046no it doesn't. I have a new 3ds xl. I've tested games on it vs my rg ds plus side by side, being capacitive really doesn't effect jack shit. It wasn't some important design choice or was just the cheapest available thing at the time. It has no pressure functionality.>>12900145Can't tell if you think you're funny or of your genuinely retarded.>>12900302>muh lagPure cope.>>12900362I use a fabric tip stylus, on my rgds, N3ds, and phone. It's buttery Smooth, prevents smudges, prevents scratches. Of course I also have a regular stylus on my N3DS. There's really no difference.

>>12900348I hate those self-important faggots, pretending we all know what the fuck they talk about. Like it will save them 2 seconds to use acronyms instead of the full name of things, no it is not to save time, it is to be pretentious fucking cunts

>>12900709TANSTAAFL, sister
>>12900513>I use a fabric tip stylusAlright, will have to give it a go then because I've only been using the stylus that came with the RG DS with the rubber and disc tips and both are not ideal at all. The disc is the best of the two by far but it still drops inputs constantly and if I'm not hitting in the silicone black center of it it doesn't like to register inputs.
retroid finally updated its shipping dashboard. good news for people who ordered 2 of the 5 available colors between the dates of 9/12 and 9/12 and probably already got their shipping notification. literally zero information for everybody else THOUGH
>>12900778WANGDONG ALL OVER AGAIN!WHEN WILL IT BE FINALLY OVER, SISTERS!?
D1100 flip 2 if I dont care about switch? They're 150 and decomps run well on the chip...>>12900793Never for Ayn/Retroid. All who order from them have their chinkhelds sealed in Guangdong for 3 months minimum.
>>12900778so only the people who ordered day 1 minute 1 of preorders and also only 2 colors. what's even the excuse this time? with the thor they said to russ it was because of super special hard to acquire parts that have major shortage
>>12900814They have to pay other chinese people to buy the parts and build it for them, their 'factory' is a front.
>>12900804D1100 Flip 2 isn't gonna have the turnip driver support that the 865 one does and they still help for other systems besides Switch.
>>12899958They informed me they do not mark shit they are out of stock on as out of stock and that's why because apparently devices are "made to order" if they are relatively small I guess that makes since.
I do believe owning a chinkheld is a disease. Once you own one, you'll want more.
>>12901096So it's a disease you contract? Like trannyism or HIV?
>>12900778>Ayaneo is treated as the worst company in the world for doing this>Retroid does the same on top of constantly trying to pull some bullshit with every new device they release and is considered the savior of retro gamingThe Nintendo of chinkhelds
>>12901109sometimes heldAIDS is comorbid with those ailments
>>12900814I bought my thor max off ebay and it was painful but it was better than waiting, fuck that shit, I would still be waiting 7 months later otherwise. cost me like 1350 bucks but i had the muns so...doing the same with the steamframe this coming month.
>>12901115It really just boils down to the fact that Ayaneo doesn't always give review samples while Moorechip does, simple as. When you realize this is the real problem most critics have, it makes more sense.
Is there a way to change the swap file size in the latest MuOS Andromeda? I can't seem to find the setting, and the site doesn't mention advanced options.
>>12900705and i hate retarded ESL spics like you who can't infer absolutely rudimentary concepts through the most basic of contexts, kill yourself subhuman
>>12901267Not so fast.
>>12901115it's because retroon is reddit's choice of chinkhelder, because redditors are always wrong
>>12901274I don't care about trends, DS is a terrible format and only the SP makes sense.
Alright, I'm ready to release I think.https://github.com/otacoo/magiIf you have a H700 device try it out, although it's mostly made with the 35XXSP in mind.
>>12901115That would be anbernic>>12901281But who will make the next sp? Anbernic is most likely done. I don't see retroid making an sp-like with the classic's screen. And I'm pretty sure powkiddy's dead.
>>12901290neatI'm guessing this is possible by taking baseOS and vibing a front-end of your liking to it?
>>12901293Ayaneo said they'd make one as soon as they figure it out. Taki has an FPGA SP in the works which is far along enough to have engineering units, but in Taki time that could be two years.https://goyimx.com/takiudon_/status/2111501111068946563https://goyimx.com/takiudon_/status/2109623941182718133https://goyimx.com/TakiUdon_/status/2105356876976369747
>>12901296Yep, although baseOS is basically just Anbernic's bootloader, kernel and drivers. baseOS is just the busybox on top.Since that work was already available it saves me from having to do it all from scratch.
>>12901321really *are*
>>12901293They should just make the RG SP with a 3.5 inches 4:3 IPS display like the Miyoo Mini Plus. GBA on 4:3 displays works fine with interger scaling and overlays. That would be perfect.For a DS focused device like the RG DS+, use the same display with touch and a size close to the DSi an then I will buy this shit.

>>12901096>Once you own one, you'll want moreI never own more than 1 or 2 at a time but my problem is that once I think I have one I'll be satisfied with, another one gets announced 6 months later that makes me think my current one has issues and THIS one will be the one I keep forever.
>>12901757reason being they invented a problem so they can sell you junk over and over again indefinitely. there is nothing wrong with original hardware, it is perfect, and all of the bells and whistles of chinese ewaste are copes meant to distract you

new to this general but just had a quick question on which brands are loved or hated here? I see Anbernic here a lot but they have some controversy so dunno if it's still the be all and end all
>>12902036nintendo is the best, followed by sony. bandai namco with the wonderswan or sega are also in the mix but not really taken seriously. anything other than that is for redditors to take title screens or for third worlders to larp as rich on IG
>>12902036its case by case depending on the specific productsgenerally speaking anbernic is for budget, retroid for high end, ayn is premium but pricy, miyoo and powkiddy are a joke, ayaneo is unreliable
There’s no doubt about it, these two are absolutely my Endgame duo.
>>12902036Anbernics are fine for super budget devices where you aren't concerned with their screens popping out/breaking, or in the mid-tier with handhelds like the 406H/V that are better than expected. When you get to a certain price point though its worth just looking to other companies like Ayaneo/Moorechip for either better build quality or performance.
>>12902049>Anbernics are fine for super budget devices where you aren't concerned with their screens popping out/breaking,Yeah, no. This is a complete insincere lie.
>>12902051Where's the lie? That they have good budget devices or that the screens pop out or break? Because I had the screen on my RG40XXV pop out, and I remember some anons post photos of their cracked RG35XXH screens.
>>12902056sure, kike

>>129021461 is pretty soulful but it's crazy how much better 2 is
>>12901941It's some sort of custom version of Melon because it applies some patches to it and then runs it in some way that makes it work miles better than standalone or the core. I have no idea what black magic they're running to get it to work on the RG DS but I have had zero performance issues with the thing and I don't have weird glitches Drastic throws into the mix on occasion when using it. He also just added DSi support which only works on BananaDS though I think saving is broken because games like Dragon Quest Wars don't work and some games load to a white screen while others work fine.

As for whether you want a base Thor or RP Duo, I guess it depends whether you primarily plan on playing stick on top games more or D-pad on top games, you like or hate a glass front, and you don't mind the Duo being weaker than a Thor.

>>12902297I did it the roundabout way, since SpruceOS calibration was broken for me anyway (kept saying "cannot start, keeping old values" or something like that). Remove the SD card, boot into stock, calibrate sticks, boot back into whatever OS you're using.
Does anyone here know where I can download a free copy of the aftermarket NES game 'The Five Clans of Tresibra: Bloodshed'?It doesn't seem to be on any of the ROM sites, like other homebrew and aftermarket NES games are.
>>12902321You also need to copy those configs from stock, but even though the values are exactly the same they still don't work right, unlike crossmix.Nextui has a proper calibration tool I think
>>12902326I really hate the hacky-ass code Trimui used to make that router chip accept analog inputs.
>>12902297Budget distros let you calibrate sticks now or is that just for TSP?
>>12902271Wait and see what the inevitable problems with the DDS will be and then make your decision. Right now your entire thought process for the DS handhelds should be this:>AYN Thor"I want something that plays mostly everything including some Steam games in the dual screen form factor.">Retroid Pocket Duo"I want something more expensive and powerful than an RG DS Plus but without the strength of the Thor for roughly the same price.">RG DS Plus"I want DS and only DS so I will spend $100 and call it a day.">RG DDS"I want 3DS but make concessions for the DS. I want proper integer scaling and screens for the 3DS and that is my focus."A Thor 2, if it happens, should only be considered if they decide to make the screens integer scale perfectly with both DS and 3DS or have a resistive touch screen otherwise there's just no point over the normal Thor. It's borderline redundant outside of fixing some build quality things.
>>12902326I've found a potential fix for those who encounter MuOS stick issues on TSP (a calibration tool). /stefman69/muOS-Trimui-Smart-Pro-Stick-Fix/tree/main on github
>>12902332Don't forget the Anbernic options also have a built-in stylus which should be included by default with any dual screen handheld.
>>12902304>There's no android apps that can really make use of the power of the Odin 3Saturn emulation
>>12902323Maybe you could ask an anon to sell you a copy so you can plug it into your computer and extract the rom hahahahahahahaha
>>12902340There's a lot to say against anbernic but even if it's in superficial ways, they get it
>>12902328Speaking of shartui, muos andromeda has 32bit lib support.
>>12902317wrong.
>>12902058nta and i haven't posted photos of it, but my 35xxh screen burst from a less than 1 meter fall onto extremely thick and soft shag carpet, causing the bottom right corner of liquid crystal to leak outand that's not to mention the issue of the soc using the battery as a heatsinkstill, i love my ambernig and no other device even comes remotely close to it as all the rest have at least one (usually far more) dealbreaker(s) whereas the 35xxh has none, the screen can be replaced (and ideally, should be replaced as soon as one gets it, rather than waiting for it to burst like the fragile thing that it is) and aside from the heatsinking issue the only other thing it could really use is a lanyard hole
>>12902064Holy based 3326Soon it really will play ps3 games kek
>>12902047Personally I been very happy with my Thor + brick hammer.
>>12902336Oh damn thanks anon, I'll try it outGlad I'm not the only one that was autistically annoyed by this kek
>>12899438None of these have been "solved" except in the emulation space. The handhelds still have problems that get fixed only to come back in the next product a year later>cases breaking>hinges breaking>sticks with poor range of motion>sticks with non-replaceable caps>shoulder and trigger buttons are still cheap and flimsy on every handheld>high input latency>frequent firmware issues in general>lack of battery solutions softlocking emulation on small handhelds to ps2 or below>no resistive touchscreens>still using downward-firing speakers in 2026 instead of front-firing speakers>still using non hall-effect sticks in 2026>still forgetting to put video-out capabilities in your handheld in 2026>still falling for the pocketable rectangle meme in 2026 instead of making comfortable handhelds>still no handheld with a slider
>>12901096Many are saying this
all you guys do is cry and complain just miserable people.
>>12902336Spruce also fixed this issue on the tsp btw
>>12902047>two 4:3sNah.Now the SP + a Pocket 5 o 6, yes.
why are the chinks pathologically addicted to scamming and conning?
Why does it seem like most handheld coverage on the internet comes from British people?
>>12902246Listen kid, when I catch up with you I'm gonna jam my thumb so far up your piss-hole that I'll be operating you like a PEZ dispenser.
>>12902703sure, Rabbi, the (((chinks)))
>>12902485Now THIS is more than FAIR enough. I also would like to have purchased an extra screen in case something like that happens to my rg280v, those are not even sold anymore... as in.. the device, let alone the rare 1:2 pixel screen. I did drop RG35XX from about 1 meter a couple times and it did not break nor crack, but it never hit the floor square on the screen. I also dropped a Miyoo Mini and the plastic produced tiny cracks, barely visible, but I know its plastic is more brittle, I am more careful with Miyoos than Anbernics to be quite honest.Otherwise I never had ANY issues with either Anbernic nor Miyoo. I am sure there are quality issues like in EVERY production line, and some will slip through QA, shit happens, but these devices are honestly pretty high quality for the price. They will judge me for being poor, but at least I had a romantic dinner yesterday, with an actual 3D woman and I kissed her bosom. You (not you, Anon, but you know who) elitist INCEL cunts.
>>12902562Don't forget the anal squirtage jeet cuckaroo! He's always faking an overall happy mood to mask his inadequacies and insecurities over his failure of his life. And also the namefaggot tripfags that are here every hour of everyday!
>>12902942you're momma is a tripfaggot, sod
I've dropped my O3DSXL from chest height TWICE and absolutely nothing happened. I dropped a GBA SP once but nothing happened there either. Even though Nintendo is fags about their ip's, they certainly have good build quality. I bet you could punt a GameCube with little issues. Oh wait the N64 controller was gay as fuck and the analog wore out all the time. I never owned one but I saw it happen to my friends several times.
>>12902964Absolutely.Nintendo are the KINGS of Retard Proof (me) devices. Those things are built like an AK-47.
>>12902948Defending your boyfriends? How cute.
>>12902976We are in love, OKAY!?And you are not even my REAL father.
>>12902703proximity to india
I own a Thor and a DSi XL and the DSi is just more fun. Same with GBA SP.Original hardware fags were right. And with flash carts it's not even really expensive.
ok
>>12903040it's like the difference between a trans woman and a real woman. some people claim the tranny looks better, because it has all of the surgeries and makeup and fashion. but no matter what it only feels right with a real woman, no matter how plain and mid they arealso on original hardware there's something to be said for being able to just immerse yourself in the game, without any nagging doubts "did i fuck up because of lag or was it actually my fault"
>>12903052That last point is true. And I fucking hate Andjeet so much it's unreal. Having to fuck with retroarch plus Lagdroid plus frontends is hell.I do wish there were better hardware mods for the DS though. Then I could buy a handful of them that are busted to shit and replace the displays.
>>12903059screen replacements seem like a nightmare on clamshells because of the way they fold the ribbon cable through the hinge. on ds lite i think the stock screens are beautiful and i can't imagine anything better though
>>12902812I would also like to know this?Did the original Gameboy sell better in Britain than elsewhere? Is it because the Gameboy and GBA games are somewhat reminiscent of the Speccy and C64?
>>12903090>>12902812Britain is a very cramped country. The average home's living space is less than Japan (88 meters for the UK, 95 for Japan).This means people naturally gravitate towards methods of gaming that don't take up much space, or can be played on the go. People also use public transportation more than Americans (British have about 8x more hours per year than Americans).
>>12903102are you actually british? why are british people obsessed with bubble bobble? is it because the story is about overcoming alcoholism?
>>12903102Public Transport is 100% THE substrate for handheld gaming. I did love my GBA SP going back and forth to High School and Uni. Also riding busses back and forth to my family's home town.Before Smartphones, you bet your ass a hand held was the second best thing to a book in such environments, and most people cant read to save their lives.It did happen to me that in some bus lines inside Monterrey City I would NEVER pull out my device, people got robbed routinely there. It was a lottery but I would never risk it.Small rural routes were super safe and comfy to play on. Lived for a couple years in Tapalpa, Jalisco and riding the bus through the forest sierras, with panoramic views to rest the mind, alternating with a dozen pages and short bursts of GBA SP.... something else...*Chef's Kiss*

>>12903207>I would be more excited if every recent recomp didn't come with a huge asterisk and fine print reminding you that the game is at best only mostly playable.Fair. Yet at this rate of AI assisted progress, one can only imagine these things will get patched recursively over a year or two tops, per game. I bet clean room reverse can work to shorte the distance to Delta.

Yeah it will get better over time, I just hate the one-two punch of headlines implying 100% only to look inside and see 50%. Like opening a bag of chips and they only fill about a third of the bag.
>>12903234Aren't decomps legit and recomps the ai vibecoded ones? Or am I mistaken?
chinkhelds are gonna start being judged on switch 2 performance pretty soon damn the last couple days have been wild

I don't know if this is the right place to ask, but what do you all think of a jailbreaked PSP-3000 as a handheld emulator for emulating anything up to the 4th generation of games (SNES, Sega Genesis) and 6th gen Gameboy Advance titles?I heard that the PSP's screen and other hardware components can be modded, like replacing its default screen with an IPS screen and giving the handheld a USB C charger. Has anyone tried this out? How would rate the experience of playing with a modded PSP for emulating these older games?
>>12903302It's serviceable but you're better off with a $60~ chinkheld for that imo
>>12903309Can you give me some examples of 60 dollar Chinese handhelds that can achieve the same performance results as the kind of modded PSP I mentioned? Also, how good is the build quality? A relative of mine had an unmodded PSP and it lasted like 6-7 years of regular play before he encountered serious issues.
>>12903302It'll get stuttery in more demanding SNES and GBA games. PSP was neat back in its day, but you're better off with a ~$50 chinkheld unless you specifically want to play PSP games.
>>12903313RG35XXH or any of Anbernic's other XX consoles will play everything PSX and below easily, and play a decent chunk of N64/DC games too.
>>12902479Wow, great argument.I don't know what to tell you, gramps, that is the definition.At this point PS3, Wii, and Xbox360 are vintage consoles.
>>12903318Thank you. I'll check those out. Looks neat enough from a quick image search.Do you have personal experience with this handheld? If so, how is the quality of the buttons/sticks?>>12903314Damn. It can't even play SNES games without stutters? What if you overclock it?
>>12903313I'll give you the company names, you can check out their websites:Powkiddy: kind of meh but some decent 'helds for the priceAnbernic: same as above but mostly better and with a wider range of products and functionalityRetroid: kind of the standard for mid-rangeAyn: higher tier android stuff, usually up there in qualityAyaneo: too expensive to bother but if you've got the cash then check them outSome other notes, check out Retro Gaming Corps on youtube or any of the other usual chinkheld guys (I forget their names) and when you find some 'helds you like, google "[handheld] problems" or ask here or something, also search youtube for "[handheld] playing [console] games" to see how it performs in real time just in case it wasn't covered in a review video or something. Also buy a real SD card, don't rely on the ones you might get from the chinkheld itself and if you find the chinkheld's OS underwhelming, you can often find custom firmware (especially for linux 'helds) to better your experience.
>>12903326Super Mario World and aLttP will run fine, just don't expect heavier games like Yoshi's Island to run smooth on a PSP.
>>12903326If the card is Kioxia (it wouldnt be advertised by name if it wasnt) then you will only have to spare for the second microSD card for ROMs and movies-series (480p h.654)Kioxia es excelent for a TF1 slot, on a low demand XX series Anbernic. Linux is quite efficient on those.
>>12903334Thank you. Very informative. I'll keep all of this in a notepad when I do my research on what to get. >>12903337I didn't realize Yoshi's Island was considered a "heavier" game for the SNES that even the PSP can't run it smoothly.
>>12903369No problem. Also powkiddy has a different site now, I forget the name.
>>12901096Actually I realized once I got one or two handhelds and played a few bing bing wahoos that there are actually no video games I want to play on these devices and my attention span for them is only dwindling. Setting them up and tinkering is more fun than actually playing games for me, probably because I grew up with all these consoles and I already played most of the games I wanted to play over the years.
>>12903387https://royibeila.com/a bit tempted by the Halloween V10
>>12903416That's the one, thanks. Wish they picked an easier name.
>>12903420PowCheekyPowWow.png.tk
>>12903325nope, that isn't the definition, and those are modern consoles and will always be modern consoles as they are 4 generations deep into the modern consoles, no matter how many retarded zoomers think erroneously false shit about what they know less than nothing about
>>12903326>It can't even play SNES games without stutters?You have to remember that things like the PSP, DS, and 3DS had to have manually ported emulators and specific ones at that, and every time they had to do an update they had to do that manually as well so a lot of what is around to use on it is decades out of date.The PSP was amazing for the time it was in because we had absolutely nothing else comparable to its capabilities and how easy it was to hack. I think it was years later the GPD Win came out but basically no one could afford the thing and it was unbelievably niche on top of it. Nowadays we have decades of improvement in technology and availability that using anything but a Vita onward is pretty pointless when it comes to emulating on older devices and even then you genuinely would be better off buying a Chinese handheld of some sort even under $100 because it will emulate stuff on par with around a Vita.
These handhelds are always just *almost* really good. For example, I made this custom 3d printed shell extender so I could stuff a 5000 mAh battery into a trim ui model s10x the battery life so now instead of 2.5 hours it lasts 24 hours on one charge.
>>12903604Here's the old baby battery next to the big boy

>>12902231Usecase for dried cumstains?
>>12903604>handheld specifically designed to be the slimmest ever>goes out of its way to completely ruin its saving gracekek
>>12902556I unironically would buy and use this and kart it around everywhere like those old starfleet woodgrain tricorders in the bags from og star trek if it had analogue sticks, and buttons on the front too. just throw in a 30000 - 50000 milliamp hour battery for measure and its feature complete, 7 pounds and beautiful. maybe give it a wallnut paneling option xD.

>>12903850You can't use good shaders, but you can just get away with Saturn emulation IIRC. At its current price point it's hard to complain since you probably aren't getting a similar held from Anbernic any time soon.

>>12903937how utterly ironic
>>12903248Decomps and recomps are the same thing: compiled machine code translated (decompiled) into human-readable code that can then be ported (recompiled) on to another system. It takes YEARS of incredibly boring and painstaking work for a human to decompile machine code. AI can do it in a few hours. That's why you are seeing a million ports now.
>>12903828The price is unbeatable, but those shipping fees, yeouch...

>>12903965Sure, but my original question still stands of where would be the best place to get it to not get fucked by customs, I don't know if aynlmao sends their devices from a warehouse in the EU so that the client doesn't get fucked over after buying it for example

>>12903976anbernic has eu warehouses that you can order directly from, for this explicit purpose, you may even be able to order from them now, i know that they recently reopened orders for out of their us warehouse after they finally finished scrubbing their sd cards of all the roms
people with dual screen, how are you liking it? im currently debating getting a handheld but I already have a legion go. it's a bit too hefty for me to bring for my work commutes and honestly I have quite a few sensitive data (it's my "work/personal" laptop when I'm out traveling) on it so losing it would be a bit catastrophic. I was debating between stuff but I think a single screen smaller handheld might be a bit too samey where I feel like I'll waste money getting it but the dual screen might be nice as a gimmick so it's not too samey. hmmm
>>12904235love me nintendo ds
>>12904256me too but for some reason not sure if my mobo is fried but playing ds games on my modded 3ds, the games keep crashing (black screen boot to menu). RE DS has a screeeeech too which is annoying the shit outta me.
>>12904279Have you tried actual cartridges? Maybe your SD card is failing and there is nothing wrong with you device
>>12904283replaced the sd card recently and the 3ds games are fine it's just really the ds roms that are having a stroke. maybe the wrong general for this sorry :(

>>12904332Trimui model s
>>12903961One of the most warranted and efficient uses of AI Bruteforce. A real programmer-software designer, capable of delegating, supervising, reviewing and approving the work of teams to integrate into concise deliverables, sudenly can become a full blown Project Manager by using the Magic Lamp to carry out the dullest, most repetitive tasks that are usually bottle necked by Human limitations. On the other side, I do agree with the people enraged by AI, when it comes to Humanities and Arts, which are RAPED by the synths in the hands of Amateurs and Slop Merchants.
>>12904332These won't be either. They both suck, but I've yet to hear of an A30 with bad screens, just never try to replace its stick or you risk starting a fire.
>>12904346>Trimui model s Pretty fun due to its compact size, and surprisingly comfortable (unless you try to use the shoulder buttons, those are pretty much an afterthought), but it has several flaws. The screen is tiny, the chip is low performance, and the battery is very small. Worse, it doubled in price between spring 2025 and now. I got one when it was still cheap, and use it exclusively for GB/GBC games, but I can't recommend it in good conscience, given its recent price increase. >>12904670Ironically, reverse engineering code via brute force is something techbros are extremely butthurt about (heavens forbid somebody makes a better product than their overpriced garbage, which was vibecoded anyway), whereas outright stealing books, art and movies to train their models for slop production is perfectly fine by them.

>>12904868I wouldnt mind a thicc ass RG DS+ chasis in the same Dracula Metallic Purple that accommodates a 10 hour battery. I love my RG DS+ but I have only ran two cycles through it, but even if it calibrates with time, I dont think it can play for more than 4 hours, TOPS. It is fine though, for me. I play in 1 - 2 hours bursts usually, and I always have a charger in hand. With GammaOS I can play 2 hours and fill it up again in half an hour, which is more than fine for domestic use. On the road, though, the RG DS+ should ideally at least deliver 10 hours. I dont mind it becoming a thicc brick. Then again, charging bricks are a thing, this is a Minor issue. For ME.

>>12905139It won't stop here, they've already got like 3 and 4 screen folding phones. Just think of how many screens alphas and betas will have their attention spans obliterated by in the future. Humanity is cooked.
>>12905159>music, films, showsYou mean rhythm games, sony games, and streamer podcasts?

>>12905237Nah, the 2S gets a pass. It was so based, Retroon had to take it off the shelf prematurely because it was too good for them.

If I already have a good controller that I can plug into any android device, what advantages does a 300-400 gaming handheld have over a good 300-400 dollar gaming tablet (like the Lenovo Legion Tab series)?
>>12905318>a 300-400 gaming handheldMeant to say "a 300-400 dollar gaming handheld"
>>12905318unless your phone is used only for gaming, your battery will be competing with the game time, not to mention not having proper thermals for that and causing the chips to overheat
>>12905320>not to mention not having proper thermals for that and causing the chips to overheatDamn. I didn't think about that. That's a good point. I definitely don't want my 400 dollar tablet to suffer problems because of emulation.
just finished my first game on my rg sp.I think I really would have like this game as a kid, never heard about it until recently but its a solid action rpg. I can also say that the d-pad on the SP is really nice. Very happy it
>>12905346Are you still going down after the ending?
>>12905361nope I figure I could play the second game instead of doing another 50 floor postgame
>>12905376I read they changed some materia mechanics and recipes, but I think they kept the cool side scrolling action.
>>12905418the sequel is the same game, except it gets pretty long in the tooth and quite annoying at partsand while i like the games, i kind of wish at least one of them was a more fully fleshed out action adventure platformer instead of a faux rpg with simplistic psuedo fighting game combat, something where you had to fully utilize all of your weapon slots in order to get through the dungeon levels with enough weapon durability, via maximizing the damage types and attack profiles of the weapons vs the weaknesses (and avoiding the resistances) and movement patterns of the enemiesi know some retard is goingbto try naming some shit that they think fulfills that vision, but that will just show that they never played swordcraft story and don't understand its inherent properties, because no such game as i have described remotely exists
>>12905065I have the blue one, and honestly, it looks silver 90% of the time unless I intentionally hold it up to the light,that's when you can really see the color. The render they use is blatantly oversaturated. I think I would have chosen the tranny pink or the black one instead. Pictelated It's a case where I intentionally used good lighting.
>>12905661I like the subtlety
I've been looking at footage and reviews of people playing the RG34XX, and it made me curious as to how the hell Nintendo can ever try to sell a modern Gameboy Advance handheld with these Chinese handhelds providing so much at 60 bucks. Meanwhile, if Nintendo is to ever try to sell us a throwback Gameboy Advance (like they did with the SNES Mini), it'll probably cost at least 100 dollars, and will only be able to play a predetermined list of games (whereas the Chinese handhelds will be able to play everything on the GBA and other older consoles like SNES and Mega Drive).God bless the Chinese. I wonder why no company in the US/EU has stepped up to create similar products.
>>12905673Nintendo would legitimately make more money off individual pokemon ports on switch than if they had rereleased a GBA or come out with a GBA Mini.
>>12905673>I wonder why no company in the US/EU has stepped up to create similar products.I have to assume it's because the price would skyrocket on even H700-tier devices to something like $100-$150. A lot of these companies are getting access to factory rejects, overstocks, or other similar things and repurposing what would otherwise be e-waste while also being in China to do this so there's no need to ship anything or have trouble sourcing them. I think someone said the H700 chips were meant for Roomba knockoffs or smart fridges? Same deal with things like screens. Many of the devices use either S1 or S2 Joycon sticks or Vita sticks.There's also the issue of them having to sell these exclusively online making it harder to market them, the legal rigamarole they'd have to deal with if someone like Sony or Nintendo start getting pissy they're appearing in western markets, and how they would even market them to casual buyers without the prefilled SD cards.People in the west generally lean more towards something like the Evercade or FPGA stuff rather than emulation-only devices because they either want officially licensed products or things that play stuff they already own. That's why the Analogue stuff took off in particular.
>>12905673Linux chinkhelds went from shitting on snes more than the psp did to playing psx okayish when they cloned the gcw zero. A bong homebrew held. Gmenux2 > EmulationstationFor the first part of your question, what she said >>12905689 but while nintendo would pay the overstocked warehouse factories more, they wouldn't go for h700's. They would go for every single 3326 and 3566 until there are non left. Their vertical would have no sticks unlike the r36s and they'll put GameCube ports just to fuck with the telegram group.
>>12905701Light blue ≠ blue, but I get the point.
>>12905701Is that literally all you think about
>>12905661>>12905701Trannies for colors when talking tech just means transparent. Anbernic for example are the best chinks in the game when it comes to tranny black/grey. Even when they were retro game they looked good.
>>12905706I'm not the one who brought it up in the first place, so no
>>12905673>how the hell Nintendo can ever try to sell a modern Gameboy Advance handheldwhy they fuck do you think they would ever want to, are you fucking profoundly fucking retarded? were you dropped on your head as a baby?
>>12905710Overanalyzing a tiny joke in a comment, by the way.
>>12905673what i can add to what other anons have already written is that nintendo doesn't like selling hardware, they make way more profit from software. they rather make you pay for the online subscription than making another mini console. they already unified their audience making the switch family a 2-in-1 home console and handheld and now that they tasted the reduced development cost of having to target only one piece of hardware they don't want to go back.their nes mini was just an experiment that worked only because they did it at the right time, the snes mini didn't do as well, so they dropped the idea of another follow up.
>>12905718>nintendo doesn't like selling hardwareThat's funny, I've always heard the exact opposite. That they make a pretty nice profit off their hardware, which is why they turned down Microsoft's help back in the 2000s.
>>12905721you literally are profoundly retarded, i was right
>>12905689The SNES and NES Mini used a Allwinner R16, A GBA mini in the future doesn't sound so far-fetched.

>>12905752>This board is for the discussion of classic, or "retro" games, including consoles, computer games, arcade games (including pinball) and any other forms of video games. Retro gaming means platforms launched in 2001 and earlier, and official game titles for those platforms released no later than December 2007Explorers of Sky came out in 2009, its not retro as per the the board rules.
>>12905173>based 4chan handheldsA phone to post on /v/ and /vr/ instead of playing games>cringe reddit handheldsAnything with glass front, any vertslop
>>12905673As others already said - These handhelds all use surplus components from Chinese factories. This makes them exceptionally cheap and relatively easy to obtain for Chinese producers. US and EU would first need to clear all their import bullshit and then still they would be paying extra for shipping all this crap. On top of that China can just laugh at Nintendo and other video game companies while stuffing their handhelds with pirated games. Existence of Chinkhelds is just the result of Chinese economy. It cannot be really recreated in any other country.
>>12906143anyone can do it, the main advantage of china is the cheap cost of labor for assembly. you could buy a pallet of screens on clearance, a pallet of old chips on clearance, a bunch of batteries, and then a bunch of buttons and shells and then put them together anywhere in the world.
>>12905964>2001not retro.

Where do you think these things came from?thought most of linux and android came from american programmers but could be wrong
>>12905721nintendo's initial plan was to keep making software for the NES forever.it was thanks to NEC and sega releasing their own nee consoles and eating away at the market than nintendo finally decided on making a succesor.
>>12905141I hate this on many different levels
>>12905689I spent some time in the MuOS Discord, while figuring out how to seize its deep customisation capabilities (hidden in esoteric ways xDD), and when discussing the lack of proper sleep at the Metal Level of the H700 chip, someone in the crew let on they discussed the chip with manufacturer or some other expert, and they were told it is a Projector chip, reason why the projector never sleeps, it remains idle because it uses no battery. Same reason WIFI never goes off either, it was meant to be a streaming portable projector. But you know, He Said She Said.

Bueno, como este tablón esta abandonado por la mano de Dios, voy a escribir en español.Todos estan pendejos menos yo, pendejos los que compraron el Retorid clásic y su pantalla de aspect ratio alienígena, pendejos los que compraron el thor y se les daño la bisagra, pendejos los que compraron el RG Vita a un precio/rendimiento mediocre, pendejos los que compraron cualquier consola de pownigger y se quedaron con basura electrónica. Pendejo yo por comprar el Retroid G2 solo para ser descatalogado a las semanas y ahora con costo podre venderlo a 200 dólares. Odio este maldito hobby. Gracias América.
>>12906756>Everybody is retarded, even me.Ok?
I'm thinking of buying an Arc-D, but I'm on the fence about two things1. The screen is only 640x4802. Anbernic might be releasing a new model soon, since the Arc-D/S has been discontinued.Should I waitfag? Or will Arc D prices only go up now due to scarcity?
>>12899482Thats on Retroid, not DJL.
>>12906841>Anbernic might be releasing a new model soonLol, don't be silly. Last retroid pocket classic to sell out post discontinuity is the 6 button version. There's very little market for this shit.
>>12906756>brown streetshitter language>talking about chinkheldstopkek
>>12906850Anbernic likes to have all bases covered. Arc-D might have been a slow seller, but it did sell out.
>>12906889Now with the rampocalypse companies are much more picky on what to spend resources on. We're past the golden age of chinahelds where they could throw everything at the wall hoping something sticks
>>12906896I wouldn't call it a golden age. If anything I think alot of these companies are only finally finding their footing.
>>12907010Yeah, gotta second this. They're starting to realize there's demand for specific niche things and so they're capitalizing on it.>Anbernic is capitalizing on clone systems so people get the same form factor just with the ability to be arguably better than buying a modded OG system like with the RG SP and RG34XX. Even the RG DS Plus is now flourishing due to CFW.>Retroid is capitalizing on higher end devices that ignore people's want for a one-and-done machine but instead does stuff like the Nova explicitly for people who just want a 4:3 machine or doing experimental stuff like a high spec device like the Thor now that they've settled in on the Pockets essentially being strong Vitas.>TrimUI is capitalizing on a sort of low budget but good build quality market.At least when I got into this a few years back everyone was just flinging a device out every few months just for the sake of it and we still had weird stuff like the Retroid Pocket Classic or the random stuff Anbernic was doing. Miyoo was also still alive as a brand instead of endlessly making worse SP clones than Anbernic. Now the worst things we tend to see are Anbernic being stupid with the RG Vita?It's like everyone has to be more deliberate except for Anbernic who either goes full retard like with the RG Vita and RG DS or somehow lucks out into smash hits like the RG DS Plus, SP, and 34XX with the DDS potentially also being another hit for the market that just wants 3DS.
>>12907064The Nova is the perfect example of what these companies should be doing though. It is basically an ideal product. It captures an entire chunk of video game history (basically all pre HD games), and is designed to give the user a more or less optimal experience for playing them. I think it is a much better device than all of these halfassed products that get immediately invalidated, sometimes before they even come out. I don't even know how you could improve upon the Nova in ways that wouldn't just be almost pointless QOL features or sidegrades. If you want to play something from the NES era all the way through to a Xbox, there's nothing better.
>lagdroid>optimal experience
>>12907083Every retroid device starting with the 5 has a linux option. Except I think the classic and duo. I've at least seen rocknix was being worked on for the lite version.
>>12907085They said the Duo is going to get it too.
