I'm still loving my Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 and IPEGA PG9083s setup, it's not much, but for the price I payed for both it's great, the tablet doesn't run anything past PS1 too good, but does PS1 mostly fine, and the controller doesn't have the best directional pad, but again it's fine considering it was dirt cheap. I just finished Altered Beast with 3 lives and 3 HP for the 1st time, before I could only do it with everything maxed out, I did use continues aswell because I'm a filthy casual, I'll admit that.

Drastic, the only game I've ever had trouble with is Hotel Dusk for some reason, but it also plays up when I try it on DS emulators on PC

>>12506717
I always used Drastic on my Pixel 3 and it worked fine for the games I wanted to play.

Is there a game that's very demanding in it's opening segment? I'm looking at the Batocera benchmark guide and for the NDS it says
>High-end (Pokemon Diamond/Pokemon Pearl/Solatorobo The Red Hunter)
I really doubt a Pokemon game would be the most demanding thing on the platform. Still, I just tried it out and I'm getting a stable 60fps with the default software renderer and an LCD filter enabled. OpenGL at 3x scaling also gets stable 60fps (but there's some visual artifacts). Both can be sped up to 170%-200% speed, so there's plenty of headroom I assume.

>>12506748
hmmm... I was kind of skeptic about it, but I kinda dig this pocket watch format? It's not enough for me to buy one right now, but I'll keep it in mind. Also it all depends on how resistant is screen cover.

>>12506952
Anbernic, but you need to do the button fixes on the RG35XX-SP because the domes get pierced, and depending on what model you get you either need to do d-pad + buttons or just buttons.

Their hinges so far are the sturdiest out of any of them and their build quality is pretty solid in general. The Miyoo Flip already has a bad reputation for its hinges and the Mini as far as I know has had a few complaints about it. If you want to get the inferior RG34XX-SP then you don't even have to worry about the dome piercing at all since it's fixed there, it just has the crappy looking upper portion of it and sticks on a system that does not need sticks.

Why do you own so many handhelds? You only need 1.

Does the Thor actually live up to the hype? When it came out I heard some complaints about input lag and the touchscreen not being as good as the stylus but I haven't heard any complaints lately. Should I spring for it? I'm still using my original 3DS

>>12508739
I don't see much of a reason to bother if you have a 3ds

Guys, I haven't been paying attention. Have the RAM and storage price hikes affected handhelds? Maybe I was too late to the Thor meme and it's now twice the price? Not that I'd really need one to be honest. My DSi LL is doing fine with retro emulation, but I'm just curious. I obviously missed on buying a 3DS when they were cheap for example. Curious if it will get even worse.

The specs are pretty good, but AYN is known for shoddy quality control. The 12GB and 16GB models are not worth it since they don't really impact the number of games you can play (at least right now since Android versions of Proton, aka GameNative/GameHub/Winlator, are still not good and Switch games are playable on the 8GB model).

>>12508750
It's fine if he wants to play even more games on a single handheld and if he wants a much better display. See pic

>>12508763
>Have the RAM and storage price hikes affected handhelds?
Yes. RG-34XXSP has gone down from 2GB to 1GB RAM. Some higher end x86 devices had to increase their prices by $100-$500, although those usually have 16GB-64GB RAM. The only thing that's not affected are the devices that have already been manufactured and are available in warehouses.
Future low end and mid range chinkhelds ($50-$300) could be relatively unaffected since they're usually in the range of 500MB to 8GB RAM. But I'd still expect them to be 5%-25% more expensive depending on how much memory they have.

Mostly for the better battery life and to have DS games and other older systems look better. Also to keep my 3DS is decent condition, my A button is getting a little mushy so I don't want to abuse it too much more.
I was considering buying another 3DS that I won't have to worry about abusing but the Thor has me intrigued even though it's a bit more expensive I am not rolling the dice on a used 3ds especially if the Thor is good or maybe even better >>12508778
I'd probably just go for the 8GB version if it can run 3DS well as I'm not too interested in modern titles on it as I have my PC for those and I wouldn't be bothered messing around with configurating to get things to run but maybe that means the Thor isn't for me idk

>I'd probably just go for the 8GB version if it can run 3DS well
The bottleneck in 3DS emulation is the CPU power and the maturity of the emulators. Even 2GB RAM would be enough for 3DS emulation.
I'm not sure if the "Lite" version (which has a slightly weaker CPU) is as capable of 3DS, but the "Base" model definitely is according to all YouTube gameplay videos I've seen. You'll just have shader compilation stutters which only affect first playthroughs.

>>12508739
>When it came out I heard some complaints about input lag and the touchscreen not being as good as the stylus but I haven't heard any complaints lately.
Nothing has changed on that front. The touch screen feeling will never be the same because it's functionally a different technology entirely which is why you need a much bulkier and different stylus. The games will always fundamentally feel different to playing on a real DS or 3DS.

The input lag is still there and so far hasn't been addressed outside of the actual button input side of things so anything that requires you to use the touch screen longer than one second will become unplayable meaning any FPS games like Metroid Prime: Hunters or Dementium: The Ward, The World Ends With You, all the Trauma Center games, EBA and Ouendan, Ninja Gaiden DS, Rhythm Heaven, both DS Zelda games, and more are simply not playable in any realistic degree.

3DS emulation also sucks and has ever since its inception because of shader caching being a major issue tied to it causing visual and performance issues, the emulators constantly keep getting taken down by Nintendo so they have to keep picking up the pieces with new projects leading to them never being able to fully optimize it, and having visual or performance issues that never existed on a 3DS even when you get past the shader caching stuff. 3DS emulation is more mature than Vita emulation, but they're both not great at all unless your only plan is to play Pokemon really.

All that's really been addressed has been the screen desyncing on the Thor and RG DS. Past that you're getting a Thor more for the DS, 3DS, and Wii U side of things and only for stuff that doesn't rely on the touch screen for anything more than menuing.

>>12509049
There are mods that change the zelda games to button and stick controls

>>12509080
Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that if you want to play them as intended they're unplayable.

>>12509049
So it's still worth just getting a 3ds over it, is what you're saying

>>12509083
Depends if you are fine with putting up with games not being playable at all that would be on the DS or 3DS and dealing with constant shader compilation. The main benefit would be Wii U really.

>>12508163
>Retroid will most likely return to ips for the next one
Good.
>>12508739
It's a good device with drawbacks. It doesn't have the precision of a resistive touch screen. The top lid is super thin and the hinge isn't 100% trustworthy. You have to use the carrying case or you risk braking the top screen. The ergonomics aren't very good compared to normal horizontal handhelds. The OLED panels have some image retention issues and are pentile. But it's a good emulation device overall.

Linux on thor fixes all the latency

why android lags so much?

>>12509135
No. It improves it by an amount that makes normal games more viable to play. Neither the Thor nor the RG DS fix the input latency on the touch screen when in Rocknix/Knulli for inputs that are longer than a second. When Rocknix came out people were testing Canvas Curse I think it was and showed it's still not even close to being there yet.

I'd love for someone to actually make a proper video on Rocknix that actually shows touch screen games for an extended period of time, not stuff like RGC does that are non-touch screen-focused because it gives people the wrong impression on the system.

>>12509141
Because it's bloated as fuck. It runs better when you have custom versions that get rid of a lot of that bloat.

>>12509147
I honestly don't think a lot of these youtubers care about the DS at all. They never really ever mentioned the DS or 3DS in their roundups of comparison videos when they were really good value and price competitive with other handhelds and the best way to play dual screen games, with a big collection they should have pretty much always come up as they themselves should have just had one in their rotation. Their Thor reviews even long term reviews barely touched on the touchscreen for DS games which through normal play if they actually played DS games should have come up as either a positive or negative, even if they don't play them it should have been a big focus on them trying out various touch heavy games to show it off
I know it's a joke that retro handheld enthusiasts don't play games but I actually believe it now

>>12509185
Even in Wulff Den's review he wouldn't shut up about the Steam aspects of it instead of talking about what people actually want it for (DS, 3DS, Wii U). Hell, pretty much every review I've seen almost never even touches on how well it does on Android games despite having the capability of playing the big gachas for example.

>>12509049
>shader caching being a major issue
That's just the reality of modern gaming. The only way to make the issue slightly less annoying is to automatically upload compiled shaders to some emu server, so that any time anyone else with the same SoC opens the same game they just download all the shader cache instead of having to compile it. I think Valve does this for the Steam Deck users since they're all using the same hardware.

>>12509141
Different graphic stack and rendering pipeline compared to Linux. There's just more latency.

>>12509298
My nigger, you don't need 2 sticks for the consoles this is capable of emulating. The PS1 games were all supposed to be playable without sticks and at most they only used the left one. N64 only had 1 stick. Any earlier console or arcade didn't have any or only had 1.
This thing caps out at PSP which it can't run that well anyway, but the PSP only had 1 stick too.

>>12509595
Retroid and most Anbernic devices seem to just work forever. Just look for any comments online regarding the specific model you're looking for.

>>12509595
Shoulder button wear with heavy play. Screen quality lottery. Sometimes they also fall off due to the double-sided tape losing hold. Fans rarely going kaput on active cooling models. They're not usually as robust old Nintendium handhelds were, so they need to be babied more. Android handhelds seem more problematic than their Linux counterparts. Batteries will also eventually go to shit, but they can be replaced without soldering in most cases.

Normally, I'd suggest getting a cheapo $50ish handheld first to sorta get a feel for what you do and don't like about it, but with prices going up and models being downgraded or discontinued, that may not be a sound plan.

how are the controls and screen on the 35 compared to the brick?

>>12509643
Brick has the better screen.
Brick has the better buttons in my opinion especially when it comes to the d-pad.
RG35XX-H has the better button setup since it feels a bit cramped on the Brick.

>>12509647
okay, I've heard the 35 isn't that comfy for long sessions so I can only assume how much worse that problem is on the brick, so I think I'll go with the 35, thanks

>>12509648
Yeah, the RG35XX-H needs a grip. It's fine for like an hour but after that it's cramp city. I ended up getting one 3D printed for like $10 and it's worked fine for me.

>>12509652
sounds like a good idea, will grab one if I feel the need, thanks

only GB and GBC, if you want something small for NES/SNES/GBA consider something with a 2.8" screen

>>12509660
Thanks anon

>>12509660
2.8" screens are too tiny unless you're literally 6 years old

>>12509680

Do you also carry a flashlight everywhere you go that is color coordinated with the rest of your accessories?

>>12510157
>Do you also carry a flashlight everywhere you go
Yes
>that is color coordinated with the rest of your accessories
No

>12510162
does your smartphone not have a flashlight? do you work as a miner or something?

hell no, dogshit cpu and screen and everything else

>>12510172

>>12510181
its a gimmick conversation piece, "look my keychain can play gameboy games isnt that cool eheh". its not comfortable to play in any way shape or form(even one handed turn based rpgs) for more than 2 minutes

>>12510181
You're not going to play anything on it since it's too small.

>>12510157

phone light isn't neary as good as a decent penlight or a right-angle light with a magnetic base
I like to carry a small floody right angle with me if I'm going out at night, with a red filter if I'm stargazing
also, not a fag that color co-ordinates EDC shit, but I do like bright colors for small things you might drop, as it makes them easier to find

>>12510191
>is the RG nano in OP pic actually a good mini handheld if I only want to play GB/GBC/NES/SNES/GBA

You mean this >>12510185? I literally added its content "it's not comfortable at all" to >>12510203 which was not in >>12510172(<--- wasn't my post by the way, I started chiming in with >>12510185 because I think the borderline unplayable ergonomics are an even bigger issue than the shit CPU, screen, etc)

If you really want maximum tiny size that's still playable look up the trimui model s. It's incredibly thin and essentially the size of credit card so you can potentiallt keep it inside your wallet

And that's the last post you are getting from me since you seem to have made up your mind and just wanna be combative

>>12510215
>>12510210
Sorry you're so upset.

>>12510254
no one is upset besides you because we told you the nano is retarded like yourself

Yeah, you're definitely not upset.

when was the last time you tried azahar? they've had async shader caching for a while now and I think they just recently added shader cache storage as well. basically shader caching hasn't been an issue for me on monster hunter games and a couple of other 3ds games. maybe there are a few edge cases?

>>12510826
Last I saw it still happened in stuff like Kirby Triple Deluxe and Robobot, the Mario games, Pokemon, Kid Icarus, and Yokai Watch. Feel free to prove me wrong, but my understanding even to this date is it's still requiring you to buffer regularly leading to hitches.

Been playing games on my pixel 9 fold lately. The inner screens hi-res enough for shaders to look nice and it gets bright enough for bfi. Almost feels like having a mini-crt in your pocket.

>>12510832
>Feel free to prove me wrong
eh idc about that and its too much work. I was just curious if you had checked in on newer azahar builds.

I feel bad for people who are new, but I'm not sure what else I'd want at this point anyway. What I have can already play every game I care about.

The RP5/Mini v2 was the top of the market. I even thought a 2tb card around that time for $180. Now it’s like $400+

>>12510904
You can run it locally now. You can also just ask the mods for a copy of your save on the public servers.

No, it doesn't. His demeanor, tone of voice and mannerisms are totally different here.

Anyone know of any good devices that support DisplayPort over USB C? I wanna plug it into one of those funky display glasses.

>>12510968
I did not know this. I'll see how to set it up. although I'm assuming this would make playing online with other people impossible cuz you'd have to prob send your saves to the server owners every time you want to play with friends.

So if I get one that is compatible, how hard is it to install GammaOS on a RG557?

>>12510471
Use melonDS.

>>12510780
It's fine.

>>12511109
Have you ever installed an Android ROM on a device before? It's basically the same process.
1. enable developer mode in Android
2. enable "unlock bootloader" and "USB debugging" in "developer settings"
3. download the Android image (GammaOS)
4. install adb and fastboot onto your PC if you don't have those yet
5. plug in the Android device via USB
6. reboot into the android bootloader
7. open your terminal and use adb/fastboot to flash the image you've downloaded

>>12510959
The mcon with a magnetic case cause it doesnt support magsafe itself

>>12511031
it's also because he uses background music throughout the videos now instead of nothing but stone cold dead air silence backing his vocals, but yeah the vastly better recording and audio mixing equipment is the main thing

did moot fix the site yet

Yes a very minimal setup to carry around every day.

>>12511718
THREE multitools and a knife? I used to carry a SwissTool on me years ago, and while occasionally used it, I eventually realized that it was sorta pointless as I generally had access to a toolbox either at home, or in my truck. They just don't do anything particularly well.

Why is it that their own site sells it for $250-320, but Aliexpress they sell anywhere from $450-800?
Ali never has that level of markup on anything else so what is so special about the Thor that it gets double and triple markups?

>>12511983
ANY doesn't ship immediately, they do preorders for the Thor. Don't know about Ali but I expect most of them to be resellers who can ship immediately

>>12512098
paint pen, permanent marker, or DyeMore
alternatively, ask Retroid for a spare button
best solution: get over it, you're not gonna notice the fucking button while playing
