First announced back in 2016 and released the following year, the RK3399 is actually a more capable chip than the RK3566. Unfortunately it is also more power hungry and runs hotter. It has active cooling, which.. ehhhh

One of the wildest things about this web we weave called life is that similar things just exist sometimes with 0 inspiration from another thing. Despite being in similar markets, and one existing mostly because of devices made by Nintendo, this Switch Lite: is almost 100% assuredly not inspired by the RG351M

huh i guess they really are just straight-up reusing the entire rg350m shell for the 351mp, thus by "has wifi" they mean "includes an external adapter in the box." bummer

They released a hands-on video of it today that hasn't been posted in this thread. It's a shame that it doesn't have built-in wifi, making it yet another model with some flaw. But also I'm glad I have a reason not to side-grade to it given I already have a 350M and 351P.

Your Anberports replacement is here: https://github.com/christianhaitian/PortMaster Difference now is, it's focused on being 'OS agnostic' for RK3326 devices - any libraries needed are contained within it (a lot of the problem for using AP on 351Elec was that ArkOS has a lot of libraries as part of its build while Elec opts for the other way to have a cleaner image). Controls are configured for a bunch of systems using the chipset. The script itself currently doesn't run on anything but Ark, but you can grab the port ZIPs from the repo and load them yourself.

The RG351MP is for sale now at Anbernic's official site, shipping from China. Just ordered a black one with the extra $32 for fast shipping (not rich, just stupid). It did end up not having internal wifi, though not for the reason Dodo stated, so I've got one of these U-shaped adapters coming also. Other than that and the lack of a fn button, it's still pretty much the perfect retro handheld until something in the same size that can handle Gamecube/PS2 exists, and I expect that's going to be more years out than I care to wait. Custom OS's are going to be a while, because while the devs are getting free units from Anbernic, they aren't getting them any earlier than the rest of us.

Is the MP chipset the exact same as the 351V? Could I order one and just pop the cards over? That would be easy and nice, I may try one.

Rolo posted:Is the MP chipset the exact same as the 351V? Could I order one and just pop the cards over? That would be easy and nice, I may try one. No, it's different. In the Discord a couple people have messed with it; ArkOS doesn't boot at all, apparently 351Elec finishes loading but then can't find the controller. That said, the ArkOS dev, who for the past several months has only been working on the V image, has said that [paraphrasing] he'll totally be doing active development on the MP if it works as well as the V has. Edit: Incidentally, I forget if I've said crap in this thread about not needing a second analog stick due to the limited systems it can emulate; but I'm really looking forward to having one after seeing how well the ports of doom, quake, etc work on the v. If these ports get migrated to the MP with the extra stick for aiming, that's actually gonna be really sweet. zzMisc fucked around with this message at 21:20 on Sep 15, 2021 |

I bought the ipega one when it was on sale for <$20 last year, but I ordered the v90 at the same time so I haven't used it all that much I can tell you that all the buttons and sticks work and it holds a charge, but watch out if you're trying to use it with a particularly big phone. The Samsung s20 FE just barely fits without a case

I know this thread has historically been focused around portable units (I read all 44 pages since last night). I’ve got more of a focus on home consoles. I actually own a ton of them, but just ordered a poly mega. Mainly I bought it so I dont need to plug in my Saturn, ps1, etc at the same time but also I like to play one older stuff with the kids so I bought the huge pack with all the adapters for nes, snes, genesis, tg16. The only thing that is kind of irking me is the lack of support for everdrive / flash cart. I read something maybe on Twitter or something in which they had said no flash carts, but then said “if it runs on real hardware it will run on poly mega”. Does anyone her have one yet? Has anyone actually tried using an everdrive or clone in one? My order number is under 3000, so I would expect I’ll be getting mine in the first few runs which say they will ship in 1st half 2022.

I’ve always viewed the Polymega as a half assed, closed off MiSTer. Ironically, the only thing you’d be missing is the two consoles you’re looking for — Saturn and PS1. I believe PS1 development is going like, really drat well. Not so sure on Saturn but last I heard, it was near release too.
