It's not the same chip as the 351 line, I think it's a newer chip. Anbernic's model numbers I believe are screen size+chip so 503 would be 5.0 inch screen and whatever they have as the 3 chip). The video showed PSP performance at a point where I could see it running at full speed with custom firmware. My thought of it is that it's a side device to the 552 with a smaller screen and no fan.

The 7th Guest posted:is it smart to keep upping the display/res on the same underpowered chip? Probably not, though a lot of ports do work with it; but moreso IMO it's not very smart to keep sticking with the same bad L2/R2 design. After playing on the rgb10 max 2 I really just wouldn't want to go back to the side-by-side shoulder buttons.

If the price is right that might mean a sale for me. Absolutely against fans in my handhelds.

It's a RK3566 so it's better than the 3326 in the 351 line but not on the level of the 3599 in the 552 (aaaah numbers). Also still only 1GB of RAM so it's not like Android is going to be good on it either.

oh goddamit I’m a moron who got distracted and momentarily plugged the charging cable into the wrong USB port on my 351V. Hoping I didn’t fry anything important in the 5 seconds it took me to realize my idiocy before I yanked it from power, although everything still seems to be functional (PC can see the device over USB, it can detect and power USB stuff through that port still, everything boots just fine). I’d managed to avoid doing anything like this in decades of owning electronic tat, I suppose I was due for this one

Can't see where this fits, sure it has a better screen but it still can't play games at full speed and utilize that screen at the same time.

zzMisc posted:I think I found the problem. The rescue script attempts to copy a gamecontrollerdb.txt file that doesn't exist to /opt/ppsspp/assets/ and /opt/ppssppgo/assets/. To fix it you need to add the config to the gamecontrollerdb.txt file in these locations. Thanks for the config help, I appreciate it. Sadly, adding that line to the file didn't allow me to open the config in PPSSPP, I tried all combinations of start/select x/y and others. I've got another SD Card with Batocera now. PSP is going much better on this one, though I'm still only really trying with Disgaea. I can open the menu here with Select+B. What is odd is that the analog input is inverted. When I open the PPSSPP menu and re-map, it works. But it forgets the controller mapping when the emulator closes. Another interesting thing is that on Batocera the gamecontrollerdb.txt file has only one entry that is the same data as yours just in a different order, so it's strange that it doesn't work in RetroOZ. With the better PSP performance & the other systems seem to work just as well, so I'll stick with Batocera for now. In PSP and DS games I have to use the hardware L2/R2 buttons for L/R in game, and a few other odd things, but otherwise this should keep me gaming for now. Also it has a nice thing where if I've got save states on the game I can load directly from that instead of having to open the game then input to load a state, so that's nice.

RP2+ finally showed up. I didn’t realize how loving heavy the 351mp really was until I picked this thing up. Runs DC and N64 like a dream compared to the headache I had trying to get them to play ball on the 351. I’m diving in to the world of MSU-1 SNES mods now and having a good time. Worth the wait for sure.

What is odd is that the analog input is inverted. When I open the PPSSPP menu and re-map, it works. But it forgets the controller mapping when the emulator closes. Batocera regenerates the config file every time it launches (mostly for systems that would use external controllers), so changes made inside the emulator don’t stick. If the input is inverted only in one emulator that’s a bug, you should probably report it either on the Discord, forum, or GitHub. V34 is winding down the beta cycle, so maybe someone can get to it before the final. If it’s happening in other emulators, reconfiguring the controls in Emulation Station should fix it. I don’t know who has access to the same device, but I’m sure one of the other devs does or it wouldn’t be supported.

If it’s the RGB10 Max 2, there’s something in the kernel that causes analog controls to be inverted in anything where you can’t set them yourself, iirc.

Indeed it's the 10 Max 2. I've found that if I use PPSSPP to make a game specific config then it remembers the changed controls. I'll try to write up a bug report on their GitHub when I can. Thanks all.

I have enough of these things and don't need any more but it seems interesting compared to the rgb10 max 2, I personally don't consider the RP2+ to be in the same category at all with it's smaller screen size and dpad placement. As always I'm sure Russ will put it through it's paces and note any glaring problems.

What's the current state of SNES and PSX on the Miyoo mini? I know at least some SNES was rough early on, but there have been firmware and Onion updates since. Basically, the mini I originally ordered for my kid finally arrived, but he's happy with his 351P. I'm considering switching from my 351V down to the mini so I have something that's easier to just stick in a pocket and run around with. Then I need to sell off whichever system I don't want to keep.

What's the word on sub-$150 handhelds with large screens? I loved the 351 but had to return it because the screen was too small for my bad eyes. Looks like the RGB10 Max 2 and the 503 will be the best options for the near future. Is there anything else I should take a look at?

Only other option I can think of off the top of my head is a second hand Vita if you can find one for $150.

The best rate I could find when I got my Vita was around $250, but that was in the tail end of the pandemic. Prices may have dropped since. Also you're not getting Saturn or Dreamcast with it, and even N64 is iffy.

The Mini is great with SNES and PSX as far as I’ve played, using the latest Onion beta. Yoshi’s Island runs fine (my usual SNES tester) - I don’t really know of any common PSX stress-test games but I’ve been playing THPS2 at 2x resolution and it’s fine for that. The Mini’s become my most played device, beating the 552 and 351p. It’s just so quick to get in/out/between different games, far quicker than the better spec Anbernic devices. I’d like to think I’ll use my Odin more whenever that arrives, but the Mini’s just so drat convenient.

It's possible I may end up regretting it, but I've got a RG503 ordered. Now back to my rgb10 max 2 and to avoid thinking about this until it suddenly shows up at my door in a month or two. https://anbernic.com/products/anbernic-rg503

Right now, for the first time in a long time I feel in a pretty good spot between the Nintendo switch online games and a vita. Between those two, that’s like 99% of what I’d want to play

I have a 351v with 351Elec on it and I love the OS and ease of use. But the form factor and screen size is too small. The 503 looks near perfect but I dunno. I was not impressed with my Vita’s emulation abilities I will say.

yeah so far nothings really wowed me as much as the RP2+ at that pricepoint. I wanna check out some of the higher end windows handhelds like GPD/Odin/Steamdeck but availability is iffy and will continue to be. anyway, PM me if you wanna offload your junk.

Photex posted:0 Caveat: This was with stock, and both N64 and NDS function "worse than on a 351 with custom firmware." N64 in particular was tested with retroarch cores rather than standalones because the standalones aren't set up right. It remains to be seen of course but with cfw I'd expect both of these to run at *least* as well on a 351. And cfw is definitely coming, Anbernic actually sent out advance units to devs this time. It is still very much an incremental upgrade of course. Personally I ordered one for that sweet oled and internal 5gz wifi, even if it doesn't perform appreciably better than a 351.
