You guys do realize the games only come out on the 27th, right? That's emulated.

>>12406884
don't care, pokenigger

About to hack my 3ds and figured I’d ask here: where do you guys get your full set roms? I have nes, snes, genesis, and gba and I’ve got a link to the full set of VB roms on archive dot org, and I’m assuming I’ll download a set of DS games from archive but I’m more looking for the e-shop games that were taken down. I’ll def check archive for those but figured I’d ask here.

>>12406889
Those newer games, you're probably just better off curating your own list. And don't fall for the rom set meme. Those only really work for systems like Gameboy (And color) since they're so short and varied you can spin a wheel and have something interesting you can jump in on immediately.

well yeah these things are not for kids, kids are performative so it has to be either something really impressive or a brand name like nintendo. A thor would've been good for the kid, not a cheap gameboy lookalike.
In middle school I got the same shit for having a GP2x instead of a psp but as soon as niggas saw me playing marvel vs capcom on it they stfu because they were too dumb to know about emulation. That wouldn't even be impressive now with a chinkheld because kids can just do that with their phone and everyone knows about emulators now.

Any curated collections out there to load into a SD card without hassle(that more or less cover all the classics and other well regarded games without most of the bloat of "complete" romsets) to get a headstart and just have to think about making sure your personal favorites are in there(if not, add them). I know that if I start overthinking things and have to pick every single game manually it's gonna be a huge anxiety inducing timewaste. I like having my bases covered and even being able to discover new games during power outages and such but without being completely overwhelmed with choice, basically I just want the obvious junk to be filtered out for me.

>>12406942
You're a performative tourist. You should have a game you want to play, but you don't. You're the type to download a frontend and enjoy your "choice paralysis" instead of just playing a game.
You don't need to have a full library day 1. You build it.
People like you are like those rich fags who get into a hobby by buying someone elses collection. They have no appreciation for it and they get over it within a month because it all came to them fast so they sell it and move on to the next shiny thing.

What I did once was to look the top 100 games of each system and get those, then filter the genres I am not into.

It is easier with top 50.

>>12406892
Yea maybe I should’ve been more specific I already have pretty much a curated list for the sets I said I had. I’m more looking for the e-shop releases hoping there was a complete set of that. I own a ton of DS games but the e-shop is mostly retro like the M2 releases such as Ecco. And then also a set of virtual boy games would be pretty small so not an issue there. Those are the two things I’m really looking for. I have a link to a set on archive of the VB games so I’ll give that a rip. Just wondering if anyone had a place where the entire e shop is available.

>>12406952
Don’t think the 3ds can handle psx, 64. Unless I misunderstood what u mean

>>12406948
That's based tho. Who tf wants to waste times on retro shit? Setting up roms to stare and title screens is literal kino

>>12406953
This but joey. Aka, our savior.

>>12406948
Fuck off with your projections. Like I said, I wanted the piece of mind of having plenty of choice in cases where I'm away from the computer/without internet access. Of course I have specific games I wanna play(and I already do) but its too much of a curated selection.

>>12406959
Yeah that was my first thought but now I'm trying to avoid that not just because by having to look at games 1 by 1 it's gonna lead me to overthink and leaves no room for discovery.

>>12406962
I'm not the 3ds poster. My handheld runs dreamcast and n64 okayish depending on the game.

If I want a handheld PC, should I get a Steam Deck or look for alternatives? Mostly want to play indie games, no modern big budget titles.
I would prefer something a little smaller than the Deck though.

>>12406942

Sadly, this sort of stuff is firmly "unc-tech", it's cool as hell to someone who grew up with a gameboy that $40 can buy you a little device that can play ps1 games, but what's to be impressed about if you grew up with iphones? That and it firmly screams chinese ripoff, which it is, and no one was ever proud to show off their parents buying them the PolyStation Pro 7 from the discount rack.

i ordered a trimui smart pro but i dont even know what i want to play
is there a list of actually interesting retro games? google just shits out the same 10 normie slop games

Looking to get a chinkheld and trying to decide between the RG-477M and the Pocket Mini V2. The Mini edges out with the pros: analog triggers (meaning GCN with no concessions), ergos, size, price, etc; though I think I expect the 477's screen to be more helpful for 6th gen console games due to it's size and actually being 4:3. Not having analog triggers isn't a death sentence as well since there's more than enough retro games that don't need them, and they're both *portable* enough that they fit in a small sling bag, where they'd likely go instead of my pockets. Anybody with either willing to share their experience or someone more knowledgeable to give recommendations? I'm mostly looking for something 6th gen capable, not vertical, and can play SD games with the least amount of bezel without stretching them too far.

If I ordered a retroid pocket 6, how long would I be waiting to actually get it? It says the next batch starts shipping in march, but if the previous batch started in january does that mean people have been getting them over the past three months?

>>12407072
the site says 15-60 days for their default shipping

jeez what is this, customer support?
nigga come here when you've made up your mind.

>>12407067

>>12407081

>>12407067
The mini V2 is great. Admittedly I rather play PS2 on my RP5 but I think think the size of the screen is the issue. What I played looks fine.
How about the RG-476h? It's less powerful but I think it might fit you better (or just get a Thor)

>>12407082
Why would I if I'm not in the slightest interested in dual screen games? Idk the dimensions of the bottom screen so maybe it could do what I'm looking for decently but then I have to deal with the vestigial top screen and DS control layout I've never been a fan of.

Every time I boot up my handheld I just play Lumines for three hours, it's so kino. I just wish the remastered verison worked on GameNative so I could play it with better grafics.

>>12406984
If you want to play 2d indie games just get a Odin 3 and save some money. It can play shit like Binding of Isaac, Mewgenics, Lucky Tower Ultimate, ball x pit, etc.

>>12407089
Looked it up and I wasn't aware the 476 had analog triggers but knowing that now makes the decision a lot easier. Seems nearly exactly what I'm looking for other than performance but I'll see if I can find out how it runs what I'd want to play. Thanks anon.

Chineseheld virgin here. Just ordered a RG XX35 H as my beginner handheld. Wanna start putting together a sd card with my selected games. Can someone explain what's the actual process actually like? Do I have to name folders in a specific way or something? Do I have to worry about anything else like bios files/emulators? Once I take out the card that comes with the device(which I heard they tend to fail fairly quick) all the preloaded emulators/bioses will be gone no? How about the OS-type software? Is that something I have to put in my card as well? I know there's like fanmade frontends and stuff but I would rather experiment with the default stuff first.

I pre-ordered Thor with a credit card swipe,
a ceremonial gesture, a performative hype.
I'll never play games—don’t have time for that,
I just need the photo for my digital hat.

They say I'm a gamer, a retro elite,
I carry my device into the street.
At Starbucks I pose with a serious face,
a nostalgic prop in a digital space.

But GuangDong won't ship, it's holding my clout,
my followers ask what the delay's about.
The RAM prices climbed, they soared out of sight,
my unplayed collection is stuck in the night.

So I wait by the screen, and refresh once more,
a performative warrior trapped in the war.
No console in hand, but I’ll still make a song—

you're not a real retro gamer if you haven't sucked a dick for a 128gb micro sd card

>>12407124
you will need to have the device in hand first because you will it to format your (freshly formatted) card with all the folders and shit it needs
you do this by putting the card in and then turning the device on, this will make the boot time take longer than normal because it's going to be writing all of that shit onto the card before it actually lets you do anything, once it does you turn it back off, take the card out, put it into your pc and load up your roms by putting them in their appropriate folders
or you can try to do over the air shit with bluetooth or wifi, but i haven't tried to do that shit yet so i can't guide you there
i recommend stock and not trying to fuck with custom firmwares unless you have a lot of extra cards (and time) to do it with, at most i would say that modded stock firmware is the only one worth bothering with as the rest all have weird problems

My Dearest Thor Sister,

I cannot stop thinking of him — this Don Juan, this spectral suitor who holds my heart in pre-shipment limbo. He occupies my waking thoughts as completely as the tracking page occupies my browser tabs. By day I murmur his name like a prayer; by night I dream of labels created but never dispatched.

He is forever just beyond my reach — a lover who whispers promises from across the sea, who tantalises with the prospect of arrival yet remains ever-elusive. I have prepared my chambers for him: the ROMs arranged just so, the custom firmware polished to perfection, the SD card nestled in its reader like a virgin awaiting her bridegroom. And still... he tarries.

Oh, Don Juan! Thou art the cruelest of paramours — forever courted, never consummated. Thy warehouse is my heart; thy "Label Created" my eternal vow.

I am, dear sister, quite consumed.
Utterly, hopelessly, languidly undone.

Yours in waiting,

Game packs typically never have stuff from other regions which you sometimes want for exclusive content or even just because there's good Japanese games out there. Translated games also regularly are out of date by a considerable amount of time. It's far better to curate your own list and manually patch everything as much as possible just to be up to date and have the correct versions.

Don't use stuff that comes with these devices either. They're always a mix of dumps from 20+ years ago that were already bad dumps back then, N-I dumps that may or may not even be the correct hash, anti-cheat patched roms which haven't been necessary for more than a decade at this point, or literal bootleg games.

ESCAPE FROM GUANGDONG
A Film Review by The Weekly Arts Gazette
"In a world where your package is always 'Label Created'... one man will risk everything to find it."

Director John Carpenter meets the existential dread of the Thor Sisterhood in this year's most unexpected genre masterpiece. "Escape from GuangDong" transplants the iconic Snake Plissken (played with weary gravitas by a sleep-deprived Russ, complete with his famous shorts and humble bulge) from the ruins of New York to the endless corridors of a Chinese shipping warehouse where thousands of pre-ordered Thors lie in limbo.

The year is 2026. The Thor has been announced, but never arrives. The tracking numbers all read the same: "GuangDong." AirForce One has crashed somewhere between the "Parcel Received" and "Customs Clearance" sectors. The President (a cameo by Jewey "Chewey" Dongsuckerberg, his baby-penis fingers gripping the presidential seal) is trapped inside the warehouse, surrounded by stacks of undelivered dreams.

Snake is given 24 hours to infiltrate the facility, rescue the President, and—more importantly—locate his own pre-order. His weapons? A cracked Android phone running 4.0, a 128GB SD card full of perfectly curated ROMs he'll never play, and the unwavering support of the Thor Sisterhood, who communicate via greentext and hover-black-bar signals.

Any handhelds that don't strain your hands over elongated play?

I got an RG35XXSP on a whim when they were cheap and it primarily held its place within my junk drawer until recently. I'll play shmups on and off, but I've been recently playing DQ6's weird SFC translation and it's been fun, but holy fuck after a couple hours of on and off play, my hands get absolutely destroyed.

I think it's the buttons that are straining my hands with how firm they are to push, but the ergonomics definitely don't help either.

I feel I don't have this issue as much with some other handhelds due to a better hand placement and softer buttons, but I usually like this handheld due to the long battery life/usb-c charging and being able to play a variety of consoles and arcade stuff on a whim.

Depends on what you want to play. If you really are just going to play indie games, then look up the compatibility lists for gamehub lite/game native and see if your games are on there. If so you can get away with an RP5 or Odin 3. But honestly at that price point I'd just get a used Rog ally Z1E or Legion Go unless you REALLY need OLED. They are actual x86 handhelds and you won't ever have to fiddle to get games to run or worry about future compatibility issues like people did when the original gamehub went bust.

Then he says how he would love to play FFX if he had time, but to do so he would have to use a guide. That game does not require a guide to enjoy.
What is the guy's problem?

>>12408814
I wonder what Russ thinks of you ?

I have too many of these things and I'd like to pare them down to two devices. I have a Retroid Pocket G2, a 477M, a Retroid Classic, and a 34XXSP. the decision is between the G2 and the 477M and the 34XXSP and the Classic as each pair overlaps with each other too much for me. the G2 screen has better colors being an OLED and all but the 477Ms 4:3 screen and 120HZ allows it to punch above its weight, I also prefer how the buttons feel on the 477M aside from the clicky shoulders the metal body is nice to have too.

with the other pair I am mainly leaning towards the SP but I do like have six face buttons so maybe it is worth keeping that one but its not like I'd get much selling the SP and it is really good at GBA which is what I mainly use the secondary pair for anyway. I just hate having too many devices that do the same thing.

Since I can't decide I'll leave the decision in your collective hands

Maybe, I guess they are all different enough that they don't overlap too much, its not like when people own like ten widescreen ones and dont even use them.

>>12408842
That's what I thought when I saw your consoles. The RG477M (OR RG477V) is pretty much essential for 4:3. You need the Retroid Pocket Classic if you want Saturn with the proper control scheme. You've got widescreen covered off with the G2. Then there's the SP which you find comfy and isn't worth that much if you sold it anyway.

Compare to Russ who only plays android slop and still hasn't beaten Hades 2 over the past year.

if they could miniaturize personal display devices and make them a million times more comfortable while also being a million times cheaper, like they did for handhelds with the rg35xxh, then it would be kino
and no, valve's vaporware vrgoggles aren't it, still way too bulky, way too heavy, way too expensive, and way too concerned with vrfaggotry nonsense
the critical mistake valve is making is making it an entire self sufficient device rather than simply making it purely a display device only, and also caring too much about vrfaggotry inside out headtracking nonsense
anyone who's a vrfag already has a light curtain, and anyone who ever intends to become a vrfag is just going to get a light curtain anyways since inside out head tracking doesn't track their limb flailing which they need for their vrchat gooning
normal people don't care about or want vrfaggot shit. they just want a cheap, light, simple, and svelte personal display device

I don't blame people playing FF games from that era (1997 to early 2000s) with a guide, partly to understand and have more fun with mechanics and partly because they're such slogs to play through a second time.

I'm only just realizing that Steam Deck can do really, really well on Wii and Wii U emulation.

One question though, anyone know if there's a way to get Wii Motion plus games working on there? When I try playing this one (the only wii m+ game I even want to play) it wigs the motion controls on the touch pad out really bad and becomes unplayable.

I recently discovered my old samsung tablet has nearly the same chipset as a retroid 5, I've been smoothly playing smt nocturne on it at 2x res for the past couple days. Dunno if that counts for these threads, but just the tablet and a controller is easily as portable as a steam deck. I went looking for a similar tablet to a retroid 6 and got some sticker shock though, I thought I'd hacked the code on how to get something more trustworthy than a chinkheld but it's twice the price.
