I'm seeing them for 7-8 on ebay. Might just pick a couple up for the kids at that price.

Yeah that’s the only reason I posted it.

There is absolutely nothing amazing about it except it could be a fun cheap gift.

Could you link the one you see for 7-8? I think I’m gonna get one for my S/O.

i posted this screen comparison in the general retro gaming thread; probably useful here too. rg350m on the left, rg351m on the right

home consoles look significantly worse across the board on the 351. all of the 351 shots have rga scaling enabled. your other options are bilinear filtering (similar but a little blurrier), no filtering (pixels are inconsistently sized, looks awful), or no scaling at all (postage stamp window). the 350 is just using straight 2x integer scaling with no filter

StarTropics (NES)


Uninivted (NES)


Comix Zone (Genesis)


Aladdin (Genesis)


Mega Man X (SNES)


Super Mario RPG (SNES)


game boy, gbc, and game gear games look exactly the same on both systems. no filtering, 3x integer scaling on 350, 2x on 351

Metal Gear Solid (GBC)


gba games are pixel-perfect on the 351 but still look very good on the 350m. probably not as good on the 350p or original 350 though, because their displays are 320x240

Final Fantasy VI


The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap


the game boy and gba emulators that shipped with my 350 did not have good-looking scaling options, but these updated ones do

https://github.com/jdgleaver/ReGBA/releases/download/1.7/regba_rg350.opk

So has there been any indication if the RG351V is going to use that crappy screen? After doing a bunch of research in this thread and elsewhere I had settled on waiting for that to release but now I’m second guessing that decision.

the 351v is supposed to have a 640x480 display; not sure if it’s the exact same part as in the 350m but it’s the same resolution

I think the screen may be behind the delays so we shall see.

Yeah, the 640x480 4:3 display is confirmed, you can see it in this pic with a vertically stretched PSP game:



You can tell by the aspect ratio and see that it's sharper than a 480x320 screen would be





For anyone who wants a horizontal dual analog handheld with a 640x480 4:3 screen and the same RK3326 chip as the 351p/m/v and all the OGA clones, there's this upcoming GAMEFORCE abomination

There's also the ODroid Go Super, which has a 5 inch 854×480 screen and looks a bit like a Switch Lite.

I've got one, and I haven't played with it much yet, but no complaints so far.

That's not 4:3 that's 16:9 :(

It doesn't stretch though, you just have black borders on the edges. Smaller ones for GBA.

I mean, you could stretch it if you really want to, but it's mostly for menus and bezels.

Speaking of 16:9 handhelds with copious extra buttons here's one so bad that they weren't selling so they had to cut the price in half

i actually like the usb-a array. it also has hdmi out so it could be a pretty cool “dockable” handheld with some wired controllers. shame about everything else though

A "GBA shell" upgraded with more buttons and a 640x480 screen seems like an awesome form factor but the shoulder buttons suffer

i think i'm only really interested in a new retroid pocket if it can flawlessly do dreamcast or if it picks up some additional systems (saturn would be nice if someone can figure out how to do that, or i guess ps2/gcn if a better chip becomes more economical in the next year or so)

I agree with this, it would be nice to see GC so I can finally figure out what the hubbub is about with Pikmin and Metroid Prime.

I want one but man that is a lot to give out to an untested company but at the same time I'm not sure I want to give anything to GPD for the Win 3 because I feel like the sliding screen is a point of failure and the keyboard is basically a touchscreen

The Win3 is a power house but that screen holds it back. Not only the sliding part but also the size.

I’m pretty happy with the WinMax but the Neo looks to be significantly better.

If I hadn’t gotten the Neo for the super discounted price I probably would have held off.

Count yourself lucky, those super early bird unit sold out in seconds. The Phawx, another YouTuber that focuses on this stuff, not sure if he's been mentioned, said that there's some bios tweaks that are supposed to give the Aya a little more kick.

Yeah I watch that guy too. I’ll have to check him out.

AFAIK the Neo won’t be able to do 3DS at 2x (in some games) but everything else is good to go.

Yeah I was the 9th order for the drat thing. I had everything loaded and ready for when it went live lol.

Here is the Phawx channel for anyone interested. He also does some of the same stuff but a little more limited.
