I want a Miyoo but I can’t justify it because I love my 351V too much. Super comfy to hold, I just wish they’d release a more powerful chipset and cut back on the bezels.

The 351v is my favorite handheld out of the ones I own.

Yeah, I like it a lot. Much nicer feeling controls and build quality than the RP2+. I wish it could have a bit bigger screen for more readable text in certain games but it’s aces at PS1 and below The display is loving great

flavor.flv posted:Somebody please talk me out of buying a 351v, I just bought a miyoo mini Do you actually have a use case for the 351v? Are there any scenarios where you feel like you would actually want something almost-but-not-quite-pocket-sized, or games which you would play on it that you wouldn't play on your miyoo? The questions I find myself asking these days when I consider buying a new device are: A) what would I play on it which I can't play just as well on something I already own? B) when would I play that? If you're in a position where the miyoo is good for throwing in your bag and playing short burst stuff while you're waiting at the dentists or on the subway, but you find it too small to want to play something longform, then do you actually want a 351v to play Earthbound or w/e on while you're knocking about the house, or could you just play that on something plugged into your TV and have a better experience?

flavor.flv posted:Somebody please talk me out of buying a 351v, I just bought a miyoo mini The biggest problem with the Miyoo Mini is the semi-usable shoulder buttons, and the RG351V is a mediocre solution to that (better than the Miyoo Mini but still below average overall). If you have a Miyoo Mini then you've already got the nostalgic DMG-style thing covered, so you might as well focus on ergonomics for a second device.

Yup - it’s a whole different price category (and availability) but now I’ve got my Odin I really see no case for anything other than that and my Mini, so the few others I have are going on eBay. Mini is the ultra-portable and for playing games that suits its form factor, and the Odin covers literally everything else without compromise.

My device path was 351p -> steam deck, which fortunately means I got to avoid the whole buying 5 devices that do the same thing phase. Though it's still tempting when I see some of the new ones, I just need to remind myself that they don't do anything that my existing devices can't.

Valve Steam Deck posted:
It lives and dies on price. If it’s under $300 they’ll sell a pile of them. Also the fact that it _exists_ while lots others are just vapor. Once I see how it handles SteamOS I might check it out.

Once I see how it handles SteamOS I might check it out. The price is a big factor, certainly. But if they are actually available to be bought before 2023 will make a difference too. I think people would be willing to accept a slightly higher price if availability is sufficient.

Go with the Aya Neo Aya's lower end upcoming Neo Air Plus is I think $280 with a much better chip (the Intel 1215), the Win600's entire pitch is "it's out and you can buy it". Though you could also add "and you don't need to decipher Aya's product lineup" to that because jesus christ.

I was disappointed with Russ’ GameCube performance. I hope it gets better with tweaks or CFW but the OOBE was poor.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm having surgery at the end of the month so I need to lay still and game. But I'm trying to get on disability so I'm insanely broke. These sale anbernic products look super cool. If I can, I'll get either the 351V or 351P. Honestly I don't know the difference between them. Is the 351MP any good? The shoulder buttons look cool. There's too many of these devices! Plus hell the Retroid 2+ looks good and cheap

The 351 series are basically all the same - the M/P/MP are very similar but have minor differences like 1 SD card slot vs 2, wifi and screen res. and uh, a metal body in the case of the M. The V is effectively a P, but vertical and lacking a right analogue stick.

The V is effectively a P, but vertical and lacking a right analogue stick. And with a proper 4:3 display instead of a lower-res 3:2 one. Honestly I'd say the 351V and 351MP are the best of the bunch since the both have really solid 640x480 screens (the rest of the 351 range is 480x320, great for GBA but iffy for everything else), with the 351V being cheaper, plastic, vertical, with one analog stick and internal wifi, while the 351MP is more expensive, metal, horizontal, with two analog sticks and no internal wifi (but a dongle works fine and it comes with one). Of all of 'em I find the 351V the easiest to recommend.

Wilkins Micawber posted:I need to lay still and game. I personally find the rg351mp to be a little heavy to comfortably use in bed for long stretches. Meanwhile the rg351v is lighter but has loud, clicky buttons that might annoy the heck out of anyone else in the room. I would solidly recommend the rgb10 max 2 instead for this, but it's more expensive. It's super comfy for bed play though. Otherwise the rg351p might be the best compromise, particularly if you're a GBA fan. The RP2+ may be a good buy too, especially if you want more power for some newer systems. I don't have either the rg351p or RP2+ personally & can't speak to their downsides. Personally I would *not* recommend the Miyoo Mini in your case - its chief benefit is its small size & pocketability, but it seems that's not what you want one for. It's probably too small for what you want. quote:it would be cool to have all manner of systems ready to go This might be a problem though. I'm coming from the perspective of an enthusiast with my scraped rom collection on my PC, and the first thing I do is chuck the SD card these things come with in a box and put the newest CFW on a fresh Sandisk in it. I can't speak to the experience of any of these out-of-the-box using whatever games they come with. zzMisc fucked around with this message at 06:47 on Jun 29, 2022 |

He's saying it's much better on Batocera, though I feel like installing a dedicated emulation OS kinda defeats the point of a handheld PC. Though again I assume he's using his boot USB drive which is where that USB-A port on it could really come in handy. https://twitter.com/RetroGameCorps/status/1541999619361517568

poo poo. You guys are freaking on it . Thanks again for the suggestions. I'm just gonna keep my pick simple with the M/V/MP and do some youtubin' now. I don't know if my partner wants to get one of these ever (she's super diehard about the Steamsldeck) so I don't know if I would use/need any internal wifi, though an adapter might suffice. Come to think of it, would any of these have cross compatibility with that device? If so I'd probably get the one with internal wifi cuz that would be crazy cool. Then again, better screen is good...and I'm back at square 1. It's YouTube time I guess  edit: probably down to the MP and the V at this point Wilkins Micawber fucked around with this message at 15:19 on Jun 29, 2022 |

I'd put my vote in for the V, the MP is just way too heavy for something you're wanting to hold for potentially an hour or two at a time.

This is probably asking a lot of these cheaper units, but seeing it stream Uncharted...is there a way I can stream FFXIV from a PS5? Lol. (Right now I am nearing the trigger on the 351M although the crappier resolution is killing me decision- wise.) edit: I mean mp Wilkins Micawber fucked around with this message at 16:18 on Jun 29, 2022 |

Heavy can't matter too much in a device this size, right? I can play a switch in bed for a long while and it's ok. I don't really want the metal case, but I think the MP calls my name, and it has the better resolution. But then I see the RG503 in that list for a few bucks more and I'm like, drat. But I ain't playing that game cuz I know how it ends. I'm trying to keep it pretty cheap.

They're not great on the RG552 - right stick in particular is extremely hard to use - so I wouldn't try and play many FPS games on it. I'm sure it'll be tolerable for movement or broad camera movement but nothing more involved.

You’d want one built on Android rather than Linux if you want to run remote play for ps4/5. I set it up on my RP2+ but it’s honestly pretty underwhelming and wasn’t worth the effort it took.
