I think the only issues i have had are with certain emulators running MK 3 and trying to run Killer Instinct at full speed. edit: just tried out mk3 and it runs fine. cant find killer instinct now. otter fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Nov 12, 2021 |

I think for your setup as a dedicated arcade device there might not be much reason to upgrade, but I want console emulation and all that poo poo too. And for me, it's a $45 solution that allows me to free up a Pi 4 which can be repurposed or resold. I suppose there's an added bonus of being able to play Android games too, but I don't really do that very much.

otter posted:how far can you run in terms of console emu on that thing? PS1 most definitely, but I'm not counting on PS2 functionality. Should be able to do everything up to and through Dreamcast just fine, maybe some limited Saturn, too. The Hk1 Box isn't top of the line, but it can do a lot for the $45 price point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2nUAm2blzo if you're interested in learning more! Also, if anybody who reads this is thinking about getting one, make sure to get this model and not the HK1 Box Max or Pro or whatever. Different, not as good chipsets on those.

Note: the price of the high end beelink gt king has gone up a bunch due to demand/shortages https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pIAGCMmUBK8 Most of the power of the NVIDIA shield at a fraction of the cost, and emulation station support https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4cftyAq_J9g And at the low end you have a bunch of pre-configured but poorly-configured S905 super console x clones/variants, but the low end ones on aliexpress are so cheap you're not really going to beat them by buying a bare S905X box off amazon + controllers and such, and due to the S905 chipset they'll run emulation station https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-nLWHNffGk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pl33wsbfkHo Assepoester fucked around with this message at 01:37 on Nov 13, 2021 |

I didn’t have a PC for the longest time so I never got around to trying Mother 3. I got the new v1.3 fan translation on my RG351V and I’m six hours in. This game is something special. I’m having a hard time putting it down.

Apologies if this has been answered before, but is there any way to prevent an RG351x on 351elec from waking up when connecting / disconnecting power? It happens on both my M + V.

Curious what it's forked from, hope it's not another daemonps2 situation. Taki only says it's "lgpl from a PC emulator" but doesn't say more than that and I trust his word as far as I can throw an Xbox.

Someone gifted me the Lego NES a while ago, I could easily build a pi machine out of it and run it to an old 4:3. I think I’m gonna.

A Pack of Kobolds posted:RGB10 Max arrives today and the Hk1 Box should arrive tomorrow. Gonna be a good weekend. Verdicts: 1) Everybody who reads this thread should consider getting a HK1 Box with 4gb of RAM. It can do everything short of Dreamcast extremely well and only costs $40ish. The next step up is like a Nvidia Shield Pro at $200ish. Honestly wish I'd ordered two. My plan to use thrifted Xbox 360 controllers and a generic USB receiver worked flawlessly. It's not the best on the market, but I'm pretty blown away by the quality for the price point. 2) PowKiddy RGB10-Max is a very, very good handheld. I still love my RG351V, but I can already tell you that the RGB10-Max is going to be a lot more pleasant to use for extended sessions. Part of me wishes I'd waited a little longer and ordered the Max-2, but the games I play on this don't use the triggers that much so ultimately I don't think that I will miss them.

I did the same V to Max jump and I'm glad I did. Much better to hold for longer periods of time and the bigger screen is a welcome improvement. My eyes are built for 3.5inch screens nowadays.

A Pack of Kobolds posted:Verdicts: HK1 Boxes might not be the cheapest S905X3 android boxes but if you can get them with 4GB of RAM for $40 that's not bad at all. I'd say the next step up in the AMLOGIC chipset family is the Beelink GT King/Pro with the S922X which used to offer near Shield level performance (but no Vulkan) for nearly half the price but it's gone up to around $150 recently. The real step up steal might be the NVIDIA Jetson Nano which finally has an emulation station build and is only $60 for the board (but you need a case too). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=larOnBxOR2k https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nGo32nTsLM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IH0iyjS_stg Assepoester fucked around with this message at 10:58 on Nov 23, 2021 |

Speaking of modified android tv boxes, "Teleportation Magic Box" is my favorite name for one of these https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UF8DOrF0jg (the box itself is bad, of course, but that name is gold) Assepoester fucked around with this message at 17:56 on Nov 23, 2021 |

Reminder to anybody interested: there are a lot of similar sounding product names for the HK1 Box, so look for the one with the Amlogic s905x3 chipset and 4gb of ram.

I’m kinda tempted to try to sell my 350M while it still has some value and pick up a RP2+ instead. I have a 351P as my “main” device so the M ends up filling the “sharper pixels but less powerful” niche, so I end up rarely using it. The RP2+ has the same sharpness but looks like it would actually cover more systems and at a decent price point. The other upcoming devices seem to be jumping up the price to the point where I can’t really justify them as a hobby.
