Gentle goons, keep your hype levels in check until you hear what AYN's resolution will be on the busted shoulder button issue. I'm not saying to cancel but know what you are going into. If it was a simple fix like having to clear out some debris or just a misaligned pad then I wouldn't be so vocal. Sure call me Chicken Little or accuse me of FUD but I found a video that seems to be what I have going on: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2BJt2ogLvI

That's a real shame, because you can buy switches like those for pennies off of AliExpress. What a bullshit thing to cut corners on. These aren't too difficult to replace in the event that everyone is left high and dry, so don't give up all hope just yet. I don't know how these ones in particular operate, but the switches that many other consoles use (eg: NDS, OGA, GBM) have a VERY small concave disc inside that pops in and out when you press the button. If you're patient and have a steady hand, you can disassemble these switches with some precision tweezers or a very small flathead screwdriver and replace/clean these discs without any soldering. If you're half decent at soldering, that may be a better way to go depending on what exactly the issue is - but just note the positional tolerance (x,y,z) of these buttons needs to be very close to bang-on without the button feeling "off," even if it is functional after. EDIT: Actually, a related question - some of Anbernic's devices were designed without proper rear support for these switches that protrude 90 degrees off the board, which results in them breaking off quite often. Does anyone know if this could be the case for these? If so, it might not be a bad idea to open these up and see about putting some hot glue behind the switches to reinforce them. pig labeled 3 fucked around with this message at 06:35 on Feb 7, 2022 |

Watched Russ’s video last night on the Odin and it’s really good obviously. A few things though, it wasn’t clear if he was using the nightly build of Dolphin MMJ which supposedly dramatically improves GC on the thing. Also his complaints about the right analog stick while gaming in android are valid but it can be fixed pretty simply in the software. Another video I saw went into detail about it and provided the steps for a fix. The battery life on the thing really is insane and it definitely has a leg up on the steam deck when it comes to that. Emulation on the deck is gonna chew through that battery.

The deck is also straight up massive. I get that you're supposed to be able to do a ton with it, but it's like "lol xbox heug" meme levels of large.

Make one without the dumb touch pads, make it the size of the Odin or so and I’ll buy one. Even if it’s a less powerful “lite” version to accommodate the size. Bring it. Sell it to me.

The United States posted:I wonder how well various games will run on the Odin Pro running Windows ARM with the translation layer. We've already seen some old 360 era games be surprisingly playable at around 30fps, but various modern indie games that don't have very demanding graphics are an open question. Hopefully well enough. Even though I don’t like the steam deck enough to spend that much, I hope the portable PC gaming thing kicks off well enough that it becomes more mainstream. I’m giving up on the Switch ever having reliable older games. Renting N64 games that aren’t even ported well in 2022? My rear end.

Finally got around to updating to the newest stable 351Elec and the stock filters/borders for GB and GBC are great. I no longer feel like a chump using proper scaling. Playing some Pokémon pinball and noticed the stock settings also got rumble working on my 351V, something that hadn’t previously. Man Pokémon pinball is solid pinball. Kirby pinball too.

It's the same size as a Switch with Hori Split Pads. Which is hella big but you don't really think about it when you're actually playing. As long as the Deck's ergonomics are good I don't care how stupid it looks.

ScreenScraper used to be decently fast if you had credentials but lately that’s not the case. Edit: I used a handful of adapters to plug a network cable into the OTG port, turned off the WiFi and now it’s going like 5 times faster. Rolo fucked around with this message at 23:03 on Feb 8, 2022 |

Ok, seeing this tiny tiny thing just made me realize I have no clue anymore how many of those devices exist anymore. Every time I open the thread I find out about three new ones. Which is why I wanna see some blood. There's likely someone here who has them all. Or nearly every single one of them. It may be MarcusSA with his two drawers full of these things. Or there may be a stronger contender, someone who's really out there to collect them all. Inquiring minds want to see: who went into the deep end and owns most of these? Show us your collection! Edit: and if United States want to chip in, feel free to PM me while your probation doesn't wear off. I'll post here for you, buddy.

Every time the ADD monster demands newness I just sell an old one to partially find the new one. I only ever really have one or two at a time. Currently I have a modded Vita and and RP2+. Once I finally beat Persona 4, I might sell them both for an Odin Pro

I wish the v90 and the funkey could, like, trade parents or something. The funkey has a great launcher and tons of little quality of life things that show you they really care about their product, but it's just so small and I hate that 1:1 aspect ratio The v90, on the other hand, is the perfect size and really scratches that nostalgia itch but the build quality is garbage and you absolutely need to install custom firmware for anything past NES to really be playable

Either that or the Razer Kishi, if you want to save a couple bucks. I just map a stick to the C buttons. Right stick for most games, left stick for PD and Goldeneye
