Hey bros I have an NES on a chip handheld and I want to replace everything, from the board to screen to a TFT lcd and a battery powered raspberry pi. How hard would it be for someone who's only experience in soldering is making chargers that look like bombs
>>
>>
>>12414068
Hooking the controller inputs to the rpi will require reverse engineering and electronics work. The rest may be easy if you use off-the-shelf stuff built to use rpi's gpio. But then you'll have daughterboards or bulky connectors that won't fit in the enclosure.
At the end of the day, you'll still have an rpi, which means you need to be very comfortable with linux customization.
It will be very very hard and you will learn a lot. If you do it, it won't be your last project.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>12414268
Nta but if you have enough free gpios and and no sticks the controls shouldn't be the hard part and you can just connect the button circuits to gpio sense pins and ground then steal someones rpi controller project from github.

Am I missing something or is Anbernic really just that out of touch?
Even if the 477m was 200 dollars I'd still have a hard time buying it over something like the RP5 or g2 or RP6 because it's not oled or even more powerful than the G2/6?
The big 4:3 screen would be nice though...

I imagine management got drunk with how well the GBA clones did and figured it made the brand prestigious enough that any clone would sell and they could actually trade blows with moorechip on dimenshitty. Nowadays, Max likes to cope that he pitched an endgame snapdragon to leadership and got shot down, but I don't buy it.
>>
>>12416107
they seem interested in staying with their low level chips even though they're horribly outvalued at this point. Their prices are too high and it's too easy to spend a little more to get a retroid with none of the anbernic problems.
>>
>>
>>
>>12416107
Anbernic has gone down hill recently. The 477M is really niche, you have to want a powerful 4:3 horizontal over anything else. Otherwise, their own 476H is better. It's cheaper, lighter, and has analog triggers. But even the 476H is just okay, mostly because the ergonomics are awful. The flat bar design makes no sense for handhelds with screens bigger than ~4 inches.
>>12416129
>they're horribly outvalued at this point
Pretty much this. Anbernic never made great handhelds; they were great for the price. But they kept doing the same thing for too long and were left behind. Their stuff is still decent, but the value mostly isn't there.

Anbernic is the only handheld company still putting out good "budget" vertical handhelds. Yes their chips suck compared to Retroid's and are overpriced, but the 77V can already play everything up to PS2 by now which is good enough for 90% of people buying these things.
Playing Cyberpunk on a vertical would be really funny though.

Verticals have two things going for them. One, they're nostalgic. And two, they can be more compact. But they always have the downsides of poor ergonomics (top-heavy, narrow grip) and display limitations (generally no wider than 3:2).
Cheap verts make sense because they're portable and give you that retro feeling. Mid-tier verts can make sense if you value the form-factor. But expensive verts are a waste of money. The ergonomics of a powerful vert with sticks will always be worse than a horizontal. And on top of that, you're stuck with a 4:3 display on a device than can handle 16:9 content.
You can justify something like the Retroid Pocket Classic if you really want a fancy vert experience, but the RG-477V at twice the price is a stupid waste of money.

How well does game native support steam achievements? It's not a huge worry of mine, but I played a game for two hours at work and when I got home and logged into the game through steam one of the achievements I should have gotten didn't pop. Like I said it's not a major deal for me, but it got me wondering about Gamehub and Game Native lite.

Waiteded a year since the RG35XXSP, and it became RG34SP which had 2GB RAM and improved size and design. For about 75USD with coupons which basically absorbed tariffs and shipping. 11:11 price.

Can someone explain why even when "high end gaming"(ps2, saturn, gamecube...) in on one of these things it can be done for very long periods while the battery life of a sufficiently powerful laptop would just run out in a couple hours?
Is it because it's not running windows? Because the screen is smaller? the batteries are just more powerful/efficient?

No, but if you're looking to emulate 3DS and you still want to play things that aren't 3DS and nobody in your entire fucking state seems like they're selling 3DSs and you have a month to kill staring at all the 3DS games you wanted to play when you were 12...

But the Thor is a shoddily made product, the hinge is engineered to break and unless you almost never use it, the hinge WILL fail sooner rather than later
people who buy the max, a soon to be $500 device, are literally throwing money away on a rushed prototype with increasingly worse QC to boot (due to the demand)

The pro has its ba dum tiss pros of it's not uniquely own, outshone by the max which is the cap, storage at its height. I still love the pro, it meets my needs, playing 3ds on 2 screens, no feel of disappointment on one screen, enragement over the size of a smaller by its side, bigger screen over a smaller touchscreen making me feel like shit from my weak eyes. All i need is a machine that can do both and that's what the pro can do without a need to rag as if it was a phone.

Gamehub Lite is a piece of shit and it falls apart to handle launchers in my experience, but the feature to download dependencies is nice and I have no idea why no winlator fork does that. Gamenative is a piece of shit with an absolutely retarded login setup because the imbecile pajeet behind it is more concerned about being known for piracy and the Play Store approval process than providing good software, so you have to go offline to just use the thing without logging into Steam and he said he's never changing that, only offering different login options.

What to know if you want to maximize the longevity of a battery? Should you always let it get to 0%? Should you never charge it while playing? Should you always have it go to 100% when charging?...
Tell me all the best practices
>>
>>12420649
There are only a few things, that matter, everything else is superstition and myth. From most to least impactful:
>Not charging while in use
You need charging separation, otherwise this will kill even the best batteries. You don't want to be plugged in all the time. We've known this forever thanks to laptops.
>Total cycles
No avoiding this one. Every percent of discharge/charge wears the battery, so the more you use it the more it wears.
>State of charge/discharge
Batteries are most stressed at the 0% and 100% extremes. Most people want the most battery life they can get, so just avoid discharging to really low numbers.

plAY with the console connecteded to the wall so it never loses any charge and it stays technically at one single cycle for months... this way you only have a couple battery cycles by year and it should last you decades

batteries are shit just give up
it's going to die no matter what you do
it is not worth the stress of worrying if you're "charging it right"
humanity cannot solve the heat problem, there are bigger things to worry about

how accurate is the compatibility metric on this site?
i want to get something to emulate the ps2 but even the $300+ handhelds only have 90%

So I finally got updates on my Thor
>1st shipping attempt (4PX) failed
>2nd shipping attempt (4PX) failed
>AYN was preparing a 3rd attempt but now I'm told by email that 4PX and Yum are not shipping Thors to my country (Chile) anymore
And there goes my experience with AYN. I was offered to either wait till DHL is available (not even they know when will this happen) or just get a refund, and I'll just go for the refund.
Funny how this is the first time I move away from Anbernig and this is the fucking experience I get.
>>

>>12421948
It seems to be a recent thing (a bit after the DHL shit). I hate it because I could just pay the extra and wait till DHL is available again which I honestly don't know how long would it take. Or then ask for the refund which might take like a month or so. Worst part, resellers sell the max model for almost double the price.
I have no idea if just give up on the Thor or continue with the waiting game

Give up on it, the Thor is a prototype sold as a finished product
Its build quality is abysmal, you'd spend less money waiting for a $800 Thor 2 Max than paying for an already doomed Thor Max and its dogshit hinge

Eith the current environment I would either get a cheap chinkheld that can do my retro emulation needs up to ps2 and an rp4/5 or just go big bucks and get an arm handheld like a used deck or rog ally to unlock my entire library. The thor sits in that awkward spot now with it's price tag ($550) and the only thing it really brings to the table is OLED and multitasking brainrot.

That's retarded, just accept the battery is a consumable and replace it in 3 or 4 years. These devices aren't like phones, they're pretty easy to open up (except for the glass front devices, those suck because you can't open the up easily)

RP4 can do PS2. Are you confused?

Yeah you can already see so many Thorsisters coping saying they have a better steamdeck and posting games like Witcher 3 running around 20 fps lmao

I really don't want to bring out the raped buzzword but fuck me, you can't tell me any of these people are actually playing anything on a 3DS layout and having a good time, no way in hell.
Also the gamehub thing. If they actually wanted to play PC games they'd aim lower, much lower, like I have. These fags who refuse to touch Switch failing to hit fullspeed are suddenly ok with stutter city 40fps at best AAA? Yeah, no.
Speaking of which, anyone know a way to prevent screentearing on DX7?
>>
>>12422259
Honestly if the Thor can run DS and 3DS perfectly I would definitely consider it. But even Russ, who's the performative gaming king, admits rhythm games and anything requiring fast & precise inputs are ass to play. And this isn't even talking about the general lackluster state of 3ds emulation.

replacing batteries is trivial, but what about other parts? none of the chinks offer spare buttons or shells

Can't believe I almost got memed by /hhg/ into getting a Thor. Was at a buddy's home and turns out he has one(along with like 10ish other handhelds), told him I was thinking of getting one so he let me have a test run and holy shit the ergonomics suck ass and the second screen is just distracting. I refuse to believe people actually spend more than 30 minutes holding this thing when horizontals and square clamshells exist what the fuck

I had an rp3 but ultimately sold it because playing games on that weirdly small screen felt like ass. I tried doing THPS3 and everything just felt too squished. And games requiring analog sticks were unplayable without a grip.

Powkiddy status update: Their employees had a great chinese new year. Your patience for their upcoming handhelds is still required.

Shilling is one of the easiest jobs you can do. How so you fuck up so bad?

what about a retro handheld that also has a TV antenna tuner. like the game gear.
so like going to the gym I can ride the bike for 2 hours either gaming or watching sports. usually they have TVs built in to the bikes but they are pieces of shit

They sell those on ali too. You might even find a better one for cheaper or at least not at a markup
