it seemed like from the stock OS that they used integer scaling x2 and then put a fake GBA SP bezel around it. i wouldn't be surprised if that was still, at the end of the day, around the same size as the original SP's screen

2x integer was the tiny version. Regular is stretched 2.7x to fit, with what sounded like some kind of smoothing shader.

I think Ayaneo is releasing prototype production runs in hopes some big money operation will be like "heeeeey we got this giant pile of money can you give us a sweet handheld"

I find scaling to full width like that is fine with a shader like Grid3x or LCD3x or whatever and bilinear filtering. I like seeing the fake pixels as if it's an actual handheld screen (as long as they're even).
On other systems I just do the sharp-bilinear-2x-prescale shader and it looks perfect to me (Mega Man X's even pixel healthbar is the easy test).

ROCKNIX now supports the RG-ARC!

edit: Caveat seems to be you'll have to format your Android partition on the ARC-D. Still probably worth it, gonna mess around later. Also I'll see if they fixed the boot issue on the 353P
Update: I can't get this to boot on either device. It just boots to Android each time. There's gotta be something I'm completely missing here

Pretty happy for a handheld to finally be able to play Khgathort Lh tbh

I took the octopath less travelered,

And it made one-eighth the difference.

The Pocket Micro looks pretty slick, doubt I'll buy one but hey.

Same with whatever the gently caress this is.

In a presentation full of high production video, including a lot paid models, that stood out

It’s weird (read: funny and not a big deal) that there are small, clear things that are either “wrong” or done in such uniquely interesting ways. Like in the review, he calls it integer scaling when talking about 2.7 and 3.3x scaling. It’s not horrible or something that ruins the video; I just think it’s kinda funny when the whole point of integer scaling is for it to scale to a whole number, an integer.

Then the closing of the lid to record the sound was funny just because his garage (maybe?) had such a loud echo that each one sounds like it’s been bass boosted compared to what an SP normally sounds like.

I am not going to google Khgathort Lh. Sound dangerous, just tell me what it is.

Overall it looks like an interesting device and a lot of these handhelds look janky, like the tiny horizontal anbernic device that looks weird and and anemic and honestly like the failed Ripley clone of another, more thoughtfully designed handheld

Touchpad seems like an interesting addition and I'm curious about the shoulder buttons.

If this ends up being the same price as an analogue pocket I would choose it over the analogue

Yeah, I can't get it to install on mine either, it just boots into GammaOS. Maybe it needs to be on stock firmware for some reason?
