MarcusSA posted:I think that custom portable ps2 was like $500 as well (maybe more). I think it’s 800+ bucks but I like how good these are starting to look. If they drop an ultra powerful 4:3 that can do everything up to PS2/GC I’d seriously consider it but I have no interest in emulating anything newer than that so a 16:9 screen feels like a waste of real estate.

You can even build a mini-"CRT" with the right shell. They're apparently either 4:3 or close to it, high res and low latency, and the LCDs and controller boards are widely available.

Yeah I really don’t see them making one of those portable devices with a 4:3. It’s just the state of computing these days.

I used another one of his videos to convince myself to swap my stock 351V to 351Elec. Will post trip report when I’m done backing up my current SD cards. I want custom ports like Undertale and Diablo.

I didn't spend much time with the stock firmware but I really like 351Elec. Thanks to the good default settings for everything I haven't felt the need to tweak anything emulator/game related.

Yeah the install was super easy and after a test I’m just re-copying my rom folders back to the now-ExFat secondary card. Nice thing is it seems to pick up all my scrape data from before so it’s just a copy and done situation for card 2 now that the OS created the folders for me. So far this is worth it just for the updated dark menu system. Looks great.

Does 351Elec have a proper sleep function when you press the power button? I think ArkOS does that at the moment which is pretty nice though a little bit janky

I’m not sure of that but you can select sleep as an option for the screensaver and that works fine.

It mostly works but always savestate first.

This horizontal 351v clone was designed by one man and apparently looks and feels like it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lrsJSfzRV5w If only someone made a real Apple Pippin mini instead of this sad super console x clone/android tv box wearing the Pippin's dead husk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6JWDDhIfCw Assepoester fucked around with this message at 18:29 on May 20, 2021 |

I've really been liking my RG351V, but have a save state question, which I think is more a RetroArch thing. Does anyone know how the 'Auto (-1)' save state works? Does it actually make new save states sequentially? It's hard to tell what it's actually doing and I haven't found any documentation on it.

If anyone is looking to sell their RP2, I am looking for a blue or "orange" one. https://blavity.com/its-time-to-hav...aArqLBhHX6cymd4 Any tips on where else to look would be cool too. Tried the Retro Handhelds discord, Retroid Pocket FB group, and then the obvious and basic Facebook, eBay, Craigslist trifecta.

good link anyways the “orange” is definitely yellow in person (although it’s the gameboy yellow and not lemon yellow); as far as finding one i’d check out r/retroid and any related handheld reddits or just buying one new tbh

What in yalls opinions would be the best option for someone mainly wanting to play SNES/Genesis/Some GBA/a little PS1 and PSP and mainly playing JRPGs or platformers, I think I’m looking for a 4:3 screen since 80% of the time I’ll be playing SNES games. I’m also a sucker for a clean easy to use interface some of the UIs on these devices is pretty ehhhh. Though I know installing another OS is easily doable. Not sure how I feel about vertical vs horizontal.

You’re gonna want to look at the RG351P or V if vertical. Note the V has the best screen in class. I recommend it the most if you can handle a vertical handheld. Easy out of the box and runs those systems great (I’ve only played a couple PSP games but it was fine.) I recommend flashing 351Elec out of the box which is very easy to do. RetroGameCorps has a video on how. This is the theme I use, RGC also has videos on applying them: https://www.reddit.com/r/rg351v/com...utm_name=iossmf Rolo fucked around with this message at 15:53 on May 23, 2021 |

Seconding the 351v and 351ELEC combo. I haven’t tried PSP but the other systems you listed play very well and since 351ELEC has great defaults you don’t often have to go futzing around with emulator options.

So, I have a kinda involved process I wanna run through. It involves "instant" syncing of saves and save states. I (will) have a few Retroid Pocket 2s, an i7s, and a GPD XD+ and they all run Android. So, my plan there is just install the Google Drive app, then setting a spot on it as the save and save state location in Retroarch on each of the devices. Should be simple enough. However, I'm also getting an RG351M and 351V. Those run some variation of Linux. Could I SSH into the two devices, install rdrive, mount my Google Drive, and then just do the same as above and have them all intertwined?

Is the PocketGo s30 worth getting, it seems so cheap that it makes me incredibly suspicious. Does it really play every ps1 game, or do some games cause it to poo poo itself (everything says it plays PS1 games and then the battle transitions in Chrono Cross come along and make them humble).

I know there were big dealbreakers with it when it came out, I’d maybe check out some more current reviews to see if things got fixed. One issue is that it didn’t register fast button presses in sequence, so shooting in something like Mega Man would be a problem. Metal Slug would be unplayable. I would kill for one made by Anbernic though. I love how the s30 looks. It’s such a cool idea.

I got my RG351M and V today -- the V surprisingly came with a glass screen protector. Are there any places in America where I could scoop up one for the 351M? I don't necessarily care that it's made elsewhere, I just want to get it in less than a month's time

I wouldn’t mind one. I missed a lot of PC games from like 2010-2020. Most older games can’t hold my attention but playing them portable when the tv is on or I’m on the road for work would be dope.
