Smaller total package if you aren’t playing 16:9 games to begin with.

Ape Escape is the only one I can think of, along with being the only title of the era I can think of that requires dual analog. Some PS2 titles make more use of them, but the RP2+ can't reliably run those anyways so whatever. The only time I think it'd be a major problem is for GC games, but many of those don't run great anyways

I also don't remember the Gamecube having L3, and it certainly didn't have an R3. In Dolphin it'd be more of a concern for Wii, since the classic controller did have both.

The Cube's lack of L1, L3, R3 and Select caused a lot of ports to have.. Interesting control decisions. The Splinter Cell ports have a LOT of holding Z and pressing three other buttons to do something, it's bad

Twin Snakes did a pretty good job, especially considering the ps2 control scheme it was trying to replace was one of the few that actually used the pressure sensitive face buttons

The Retroid Pocket 3 is definitely looking tempting though I'll probably wait till it becomes available through Amazon since I'd rather not deal with the whole shipping from China thing unless absolutely necessary

flavor.flv posted:Twin Snakes did a pretty good job, especially considering the ps2 control scheme it was trying to replace was one of the few that actually used the pressure sensitive face buttons Twin Snakes has what may be the single worst bit of control design I have ever encountered. You want to aim your FAMAS in first person? Hold Z to enter first person. Hold Y to engage the safety catch. Hold A to pull the trigger. Release Y to fire. You have to do this, because simply entering first person with the FAMAS equipped does not give you any kind of sight by which to aim, and the gun only comes up to a firing position and displays the laser once you hold A to fire, so unless you perform this set of finger gymnastics, you can't see where your bullets will go until you start firing.

Hoo boy. It'd be nice if it worked that way, wouldn't it? It sure SHOULD work that way. But this is tying into one of my biggest complaints about Retroarch, and how stupidly it handles input binding. Some (but very few) cores have an internal turbo button setting you can just assign to buttons in the controls menu, but the vast majority don't have that. But you CAN set up turbo globally with some effort. First, you have to assign a 'Turbo Button', which works similarly to the hotkey button, in the global "Port 1 Controls" input menu (at the very bottom), NOT the per-game control menu. Don't have a spare button on your controller that isn't doing anything? Tough poo poo, guess you're doubling up on something, or taking a button out. You then have to save your global config with that turbo button set. Oh, you just need it for this one game? Tough poo poo, Retroarch refuses to save global input settings along with the rest of your settings when you save an override. You COULD text-edit your override config files to add them and it works just fine. But you can't save input overrides from the UI. Presumably because the devs just don't trust you with that kind of m-m-m-massive power. Anyway, under "Classic" mode, you have to hold the button you want to make turbo, then press the assigned Turbo button to toggle it. So hold A, tab Turbo, A is now turbo until you do it again. You can also change it in the Controls menu to Single Button mode, where just pressing the Turbo button fires the chosen button. THIS setting can be saved in your override. Just not the Turbo hotkey. It's frustrating because, if you're happy to give up your Select button for this particular game to make it a turbo hotkey.. well, you can't, you have to give it up *globally*, as part of the global config. Which you wouldn't. If you want to use a spare button that isn't used for the current system, like R2 in a system that only has L/R.. well, again tough poo poo, because you're giving up R2 globally across all emulators as part of the global config. Thinking about doubling up FN? Well I guess for single button mode that could work, if you don't mind reaching over to it to fire, but you can't press it at the same time as any of your other hotkeys.

Actually you're right - one of the things I like about the default GB core for Amber is that..well the shoulder buttons aren't used so just holding R2 is a held speed toggle. But seemingly no other core does it, even if they don't use the shoulders at all and uuuughhh.

I got an rg351v on sale from Anbernic in the last couple of weeks, it finally arrived and I'm just starting to get it set up. Is the general consensus that I should not bother with the default firmware and just go straight to Amberelec? Also any recommendations on a good case for the 351v? Mine didn't come with one.

Go straight to Amberelec. The default firmware isn’t nearly as good. As far as cases go, I got the one recommended by Russ from RGC and I like it a lot. It’s a little snug but it fits the system and a USB C to A charging cable without any fuss. Here’s his video so you can see how it fits in the case. https://youtu.be/A7vgt0xoCkg

Okay, but that is a lovely looking concept. PSP with slideout keyboard is a neat idea. I can't imagine I'll actually want to buy one; I suspect the price/utility balance isn't going to work out for me, considering how many other gaming devices I have, but I do like the look of it.

Yeah the PSP Go was a really cool design and I'm surprised it wasn't expanded or copied more. It also had the incredibly useful save state function built in, which I haven't seen on any of the mainline handhelds since then.

I think the main problem with that new GPD is going to be the battery life. It’s using a 6800 and even the large battery in the WIN Max chews through it.

What's the best way to emulate DS and 3DS games? I've got both a DS and 3DS XL kicking around, am I best off just getting a flash cart? If so, what's the preferred flash cart these days? I know in theory the rg351v can emulate DS games but I'm kind of at a loss as to how that would work...

If so, what's the preferred flash cart these days? For 3DS, just use your 3DS XL. Hack it and you don't even need a flash cart, though the hack I used required a specific game from the online store and I'm not sure if that's been killed yet. For most DS, yeah the rg351 is fine but obviously not everything is playable with one screen. I played through the castlevanias, Ghost Trick, and a Phoenix Wright on it just fine just swapping screens as necessary. You might as well just use your 3DS though and not have to worry.

Or you can use a flashcart. Also TM can read the files on your flashcart and either run them through the emulator or boot the flashcart. Really gives you the best possible compatibility.

Alright since I'm already starting down this road, what's the best way to emulate PSP games? My rg351v seems to struggle with them, and I see Amberelec lists it as "mixed" anyway. I have a Vita sitting around collecting dust, I assume I may as well hack that too? edit: oh lol looks like the same page with the 3DS instructions has Vita instructions so I guess I'll just do that...

A 351v is definitely too slow for most PSP games, though some will do just fine - most VN type things, 2D stuff like Tales of Eternia, ZHP etc. Otherwise, yeah Adrenaline on Vita is great. PPSSPP on PC/phones also, though there's a small handful of games that don't work (Silverfall and Brooktown High are all I can think of off the top of my head) that a Vita will happily play.
