>Where to buy
Aliexpress, gogamegeek, litnxt, keepretro, mechdiy

>What to know about brands
Retroid: Well built, powerful, but expensive (100$+)
Anbernic: Balance between price, power and build quality. Many available products
Powkiddy: Cheap, low quality builds, interesting shapes (square, clamshell, big screen)
Miyoo: One hit wonder
Game Console: Copycat popular products with low prices
TrimUI: Good build quality, shitty software with no good CFW alternatives

>How do I get games
Google: tiny best set

>What do I buy
Post your preferences: Money (20$ - 200$), Shape (horizontal, vertical, clamshell, square), Pocketable or not, OS (Linux, Android, Both), Systems (Pre PSX, PSX with extras, 5th gen + Dreamcast plus some PS2/GC, PS2/GC capable)

>Things I need to know
- Handhelds come with low quality SD cards. Throw them away and buy new ones.
- It takes some tinkering, specially linux devices.
- Overall quality of these products is very cheap.
- Reviewers get free handhelds, caveat emptor.

Why do these e-celeb reviewers even bother trying to review the "out-of-the-box experience", while also warning people that the stock SD cards they come with will always get corrupted, and that you should always use your own card with your own games? I'm pretty sure that most of the audience for these things is tinkerers and enthusiasts who won't even bother turning the thing on until they've completely replaced the OS.

[Anonymous No.10752925]

I'm doing a gamble with a 2nd device using a stock card.

Ok last thread i was torn between the miyoo mini plus and the retroid pocket 2s since everyone kept telling me to get it.

Did some research while at work and found that the metal version (the one im not getting) had added heatsinks to the board to help with thermal throttling. The youtuber said that this was new and not something he found on his normal 2s that he got at launch.

Is this a thing on the normal 2s or was it added on or just for the metal versions?

[Anonymous No.10753152]

I don't think the normal 2S has heatsinks but I never find that it gets hot unless you try to play more demanding stuff on it like GC/PS2 or certain Android games. And it's not that well suited for emulating those consoles anyway so I don't have any heat issues.

[Anonymous No.10753158]

The heatsink only matters if you're REALLY wanting to push it. GameCube and that kinda stuff. For everything below the system very rarely gets noticably warmer.

Reviewers never mention this for some reason, but the 2S heats up under one of the triggers after a comfortably long session with anything PS1 and higher and there's this neat little trick I've learned that cools the device off: you put it in sleep mode and don't play it until it isn't hot anymore. Don't know how the fuck this flies over so many people's heads, I heard the worst shit about 405M's screen melting off but whoever did that must have had God of War running for over an hour or something and doesn't have any feeling in their hands because there's no way you could miss something getting that hot, so far I have nothing but good things to say about the device except the L1 button on my needs to be pressed harder than the other triggers. That's all it takes though, your device gets warm, you take a break for a while. Don't be stupid. Don't let your devices overheat.

I don't know but if it has a sleep mode then it shouldn't be an issue. It comes down to the user, you should be able to feel when it's starting to get hot so that's usually a good time for a break.

It has bad battery life, can't run SteamOS or Batocera, and the SD card slot desolders itself from the board. The upper end model is still more expensive than Steam Deck OLED right now and the low end model is weaker than any Steam Deck.
>but muh VRR
Doesn't matter for the purposes of retro emulation that this general should be focused on. Every /vr/ console game has a frame rate target that it stops at (sometimes overclocking the emulated console is required to reach it reliably) and /vr/ PC games, if they don't, will always hit 120Hz with no problems anyway so VRR is only useful if you want to run modern games that run at 40-50 FPS.

No, they never added thermal pads to the normal 2S. Like people said, it only really gets hot if you push GC and PS2, those are kind of a bonus, you don't really get to play many games of those.

Yes, but it'd be extremely dumb of them and extremely easy to circumvent.

>>10753337
I feel Deck 2 is 2 or 3 years away and OLEDeck isn't particularly as great value as LCDeck, but yes, if you're not desperate to play the latest movieshit that struggles with 300W it's perfectly fine.

>>10753471
>can't run SteamOS or Batocera
Pretty sure it can, though it's missing some functionality to the former under ChimeraOS, Batocera on UMPCs feels dumb and you'd probably be better off with Nobara Deck Edition or something.
>and the SD card slot desolders itself from the board.
Supposedly fixed after several revisions now, needs to be a recent model though.

And VRR applies to everything, that's just cope. Deck 2 better have it.

What kills the Ally for me is the lack of touchpads and only two backpaddles instead of four, this is something you don't understand it's crucial until you try UMPCs.

Actually true. Beyond the general disregard for the controller-bound experience, one of the few things those fancy UMPC reviews from Gamer Nexus lately revealed is that Windows gets obliterated in some cases and latency is extremely close despite the layer of conversion.

Should be fine, it starts falling apart when you want to install things beyond flatpaks (sandboxed programs provided in Discover) and change things in a deeper level, because of its immutable nature these changes are reverted on update.

I have no idea. I'm sure someone makes something. This was a hare brained scheme I came up with in 2016 or so when chinkhelds were much less available.

I don't know if they're viable practically now. Unless you just want a maker project that can range from moderate to fairly easy.

>>10755734
Yes it's a replacement shell made by a 3rd party. The plastic quality and printing isn't quite as good as original, but you could (before I cut like 25% of the insides away) swap it 1:1 with an original DMG shell. So yes this comes out to the same form factor as the original Gameboy.

It is powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero soldered to a special All In One board that handles the face buttons, outputting to the display, volume, power control, audio, and puts external USB and SD cards in the right spot. It also has a spot to solder a wifi chip, though I did not add one. It also handles battery and charging said battery. I do have two rear buttons that plug into this board as well.

The board has inputs for joysticks, a fan header, and additional USB that I did not end up utilizing. At the time I didn't see myself emulating 3D systems.

This board is also compatible with a Pi3 which is when you'd use the fan. It is no longer manufactured in this form, but the maker, Kiteretro, makes a new board that integrates things even further and uses a pi Compute Module, so even less soldering.

Budget - 200 bucks for both consoles
Must have - WiFi built in (if such thing exists, or at least WiFi with an adapter)
Can run NES/GB/GBC
Can play multiplayer

I hope you enjoy your odin 2 m8. This odin 2 is a massive improvement compared to the first odin pro device in terms of performance for ps2 and gamecube. Even better performance with 5th gen games at 4-6x resolutions. I loved my og odin pro but 6 months into the device's life, the limitations were bothering me. Constant Game tweaking and down scaling the resolution for many ps2/gamecube and overheating issues. Odin 2 pro is substantial improvement and may be future proofed for a while. Hopefully ayn figure a way to get Bluetooth controller rumble support in a firmware update.

What are you talking about? We finally got handhelds with modern Snapdragon chips just recently. As for the lower tiers, you can now get the D900 from Odin Lite that came at $200 at least for $150.

ARM. Linux chips are rare and generally low power, with the 3588 not being affordable right now according to people dealing with manufacturers, plus not being that great of a chip.
Android's are everywhere and cheap, but Android is missing a good chunk of modern emulators and manufacturers still have the hardest time putting out software that works.

As for innovations, it's a mix of chinks having no backbone, poor engineering killing concepts on the spot (ie. hinges) and the audience being a bunch of stupid fucking casuals. Remember how the two GBA SP clones were ruined with sticks and how the Arc not having sticks is controversial to some. Also note the only innovative chinkheld lately came from the cheapest/wackiest company known to rapidfire products and it only worked out because the panels they sourced happened to be so good the little light bleed at the bottom didn't matter.

[Anonymous No.10759732]

Found a PSP at Value Village for $24.99 Canadian, minus 20% coupon.
It has no battery (old one was likely bloated anyway, I can buy a new cheap one online if I feel like it, still works when plugged in) and a massive crack on the front screen/shell.
Came with a 32 gig Memory Pro Duo and a copy of NBA 06.

I forgot how fucking fragile and flimsy PSPs fucking feel, and this is a 1000 model which had a better build than the 2000 and 3000 ones. the plastic feels like the same grade you find in American gumball capsule toys, like the launch PS3s with the Spider-man font.

[Anonymous No.10759770]

>>10759657
There's several problems here.

One is that once you start getting more powered devices that can run ps3/360 or low end pc games you push into steam deck territory where valve is king. If you push into more powerful devices that can run modern games, you compete with ASUS, MSI, Lenovo, Intel, etc. There's a developing market there and chinks will never be able to compete on price point with these big players.

Second is that retards will scoop up any handheld that gives them nostalgia. It's easy to just slap a new shell on something existing and have someone buy it again despite already having a device that covers their needs. Look at the OP image for an example of this mental illness.

Third is that realistically chinks are just buying obsolete stock of chips, screens, and other parts for dirt cheap and reselling them at a markup as handhelds. Chinks don't actually do any R&D and manufacturing nor would I expect them to since this market is so tiny and as I said before, you're competing with established manufacturing and logistics lines of steam/asus/etc. once you get to the more premium line.

The Switch has the analog on top so that the Joycons can be used as NES-styled controllers in two player mode, it's also why the d-pad is four separate buttons. Retarded example.

[Anonymous No.10760279]

>>10760242
Superior controls for 3D games will have symmetrical sticks, because the vast majority of 3D games require both sticks using L1/L2/L3/R1/R2/R3 for main inputs like attacking and jumping. Very, very few games overall will use only one stick and then face buttons, and even then it's usually shit like idiots using analog sticks in 2D fighting games.

That only makes sense for 1st person games, and those have no place on consoles either way. Almost every 3D game with 3rd person view that isn't Ape Escape will use the left stick for movement, the face buttons for actions and the right stick for camera, which means that you use the right stick much less often than the face buttons.
>and even then it's usually shit like idiots using analog sticks in 2D fighting games.
You're the idiot for thinking that is idiotic. Those 2D fighting games came out in arcades first. Guess what those arcade machines used for movement? Here's a hint: not D-pads. Granted, for this to work well the stick needs to be clicky, which is part of the reason why the Dreamcast controller is superior for this style of play and people who mindlessly bash it don't know what they're talking about.

In that case I'll re-suggest the 35XX for the sake of GarlicOS, it's designed around pick up and put down. You can save your game and turn the system off with a single input, and when you turn it back on (which only takes a few seconds) you'll be right back to where you were. And it's just about the size of a GBC so great for pocketability.

nta, I find 3.5" screens to be enough and I'm at the stage where using 1.5 or 2.0 reading glasses is comfy for reading & handheld use.
Sure, I'd like 4.2" to match the DSi XL or maybe even a smart ui at 5" but I'm not deluded enough to think 3.5" is too small for handheld when it's bigger than most of the default 'tendo handhelds and only 3.2" compared to the 3.8" of a PSP Go.

Handheld titles have good UIs & UX usually, they were intended for small screens so they work well.
Console games less so for the old bastards but hey, that's what a nice 4 or 5" screen is for right?

imo steam deck is not worth if you're just playing old games. Deck shills will tell you only poorfags don't have one, but ironically the deck is at it's best for people who can't afford a PC and a premium handheld like the Rog Ally since nothing beats its price to performance ratio.

I just got a Pocket since they've recently been able to keep them in stock for more than 10 minutes. Its fucking awesome and destroys any of this other garbage people hype up.

The screen is the best thing about it and the biggest reason to pick it over the other options. Its super sharp and an oled and since its so high res you get a handful of shaders you can use to help replicate the look of the original screens the gameboy systems had as well as a decent crt shader for the console cores. I didn't expect to be this impressed by a screen in 2024 since Ive had 4K oled phones for years but the games genuinely look amazing on it and somehow better than on any phone or mobile device I've used.

Yeah you dont get access to any of 3D consoles like PS1 or N64 but you get everything else 8 and 16 bit and all the classic handhelds. My only complaint about it is the battery seems like it drains pretty quickly. I haven't had a day where Ive used it super frequently so maybe its fine but I swear every time Ive looked at the battery indicator its gone down more than I would have expected. Also despite being USB C it doesn't seem like it charges very quickly either.

Dont buy any of the scam accessories just load cores and roms from the sd card.

Got around to replacing the broken front just now with my old original front, it's pseudo like I have my old original PSP again slightly. My only problem was, the entire home/volume/start/select strip is one piece of plastic and it curled a bit while removing it from the old front, so the Home button is pretty flat on the surface but that's fine. Now all I need is a new battery.

You asked, we answered. Maybe you can get a classic Retroid Pocket 3 on ebay for under a hundred if you're thrifty, but overall you're gonna be going into $150 territory if you want a good, modern handheld with a good screen on it.

Otherwise, again 2S. It's still a bigger screen than a GBA and it's unironically the best value you can get for the price you're wanting, by a massive margin.

Xbox, 360, PS3, Wii U, continuous PS2 development and probably Switch development for the foreseeable future too.

>Nope.
Ally's disqualified on controls alone, no trackpads, only two backpaddles. Only the Kun can compete so far, that one actually deserving of the premium moniker.

>Runs better
Quite arguable as it needs to go beyond 15W with diminishing returns, while Proton smooths out 1%s and 0.1%s, at times to hilarious results.

>has compatibility with non-steam games
Nearly all my games are pirated. EGS works, RSC, Battle.net, whatever.

>don't have to jump through hoops to pirate since it's windows
Neither did I. Contrary to popular belief, Windows is a lot more hostile on handhelds while SteamOS (or any distro running Big Picture and Gamescope) is much more seamless on average.

Also, you can just install Windows on Deck - and get to use the trackpads which you will especially need there, though it's a consensus between Windows users that the bad outweighs the good. It only shines in edge cases like needing to squeeze more frames out of Xenia for RDR or the odd mod that for whatever reason doesn't work (this, in my experience, being severely overblown).
