Do the popular OS images for these things offer any additional features? Can you install other packages, stream video to them, etc.?

Retroid Pocket 2 also runs android and can run Steam Link. I don't think xCloud is supported on any of these. I would not purchase any of these for streaming.

Finally caved and ordered an RG351P and a 128GB SD Card. Should be fun for chilling in the couch and some potentially long rear end bus trips I might have in the near future! 351Elec is still the recommended firmware right?

Remember when all we had for portable retro console emulation were hacked DSes, GP32s, and these weird PMPs that tried to ripoff both PSPs and DSes https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAd3YOVIGDM Oh and I guess those clone GBAs that had added emulation capability were coming out around this time as well

zzMisc posted:"The RG351MP is also unlikely to have a built-in WiFi chip, this is due to the metal shell causing issues with connectivity." the retrododo guy is a moron and has no idea what he's talking about. the 351m has plastic on the left and right edges and built-in wifi that works fine. no reason they wouldn't just do that again

RGC is saying on YouTube that he’s been told by Anbernic that the 351MP will have wifi so Retro Dodo talking out his rear end confirmed.

The RG351MP seems like the best of the 351 series to me, personally I don't like the vertical orientation of the V so having the same screen with a good resolution/aspect ratio for console games in a horizontal form factor is ideal

RG351P arrived yesterday. Already got it set up with 351Elec and have been transfering my library over/scraping media. I'm digging it. It's a little uncomfortable for my hands if I want to use the analog sticks but there's only a handful of games I need that for. Mostly been playing old Game Boy games I remember from my childhood so far.

Any of these devices optimized around emulating the DS? Doubt anything's got two screens, but maybe a vertical screen orientation would help? I imagine 3DS is still beyond the sub $200 consoles.

Just get a gamepad for your smartphone. I tried DS emulation on an 845 phone it ran just fine.

Ok get an android device that has touch screen, because you want to have the touch screen to fine tune the size and position of the two DS screens.

That’s what that powkiddy machine I linked is. It’s also $150. That’s probably about the best you’ll do for a machine with that screen size.

Might be against the spirit of this thread, but before you spend $100+ on an Android device to play DS games, you could check out Craigslist or FB for a used 3DS. Homebrew is easy to install and will let you run backups. The DS and 3DS really benefit from original hardware, imo. ^^ or see above loopsheloop fucked around with this message at 09:24 on Sep 12, 2021 |

Heck if you are only going to use it for DS games you don't even need to hack it, DS flash carts will load up just fine without any alterations on the 3DS side(as at least for modern models they work by tricking the system into thinking its a specific real DS game)

Gonna add my hat to the “get a DS Lite and a flashcart” camp. It’s easily the best way to portably play DS and GBA games. The R4i Gold (DS flashcart) supports save states too, so there’s no real loss there. The EZ Flash Omega (GBA) has a DS Lite size shell that you can pop on to make it flush with the Lite too. They’re more expensive than your run of the mill clone R4, but if you just want to play the games and don’t need save states, you can get an R4 for cheap and an EZ Flash IV for cheap too.

PSA for anyone as dense as me, you can indeed run homebrew on a new 3ds xl, you just have to remove the back of the unit to access the micro sd card!

Can confirm I sold my 3DS XL a few months ago for a lot more than I was expecting to.

GameStop sells used/refurbished ones semi-regularly. https://www.gamestop.com/consoles-hardware/3ds Right now there are some 2ds available, they’re solid little machines as long as you’re fine with them not folding.

Is there a pro/con breakdown to using one of these 3p consoles as opposed to jailbreaking a vita?

All of these devices are the "same" in that they only require good specs to run games well. The Vita can handle everything before the PSP (excluding the DS) pretty well, and then it runs PSP natively and you can inject PS1 games into others...or something like that. The RG351 series definitely feels better, though. I'd definitely get the RG stuff over a Vita unless I cared a lot about PSP and PS1 specifically.

Wait wait wait. This is Anbernic version of "Odin"? Going by model number is 5.5"? What the soc? I guess the handheld emulation world is ready to embrace android for the next hardware cycle? I hope somebody make a 4-4.5" version, I need something smaller than the PSP size.
