Seeing as people were talking about flashcarts earlier, is asking what the best one for DS currently is and where is the best place to buy one too :filez:? I have a DSi and TwilightMenu but I'm missing the save states from a good flashcart and of course TM has some compatibility issues. I of course will only play video games that I legally own and have dumped myself on this flashcart. :ssh:

I think GPD had a dual screen model you could run whatever windows based DS emulator on. But at those prices you could pawn shop a 3ds and hack it.

Does anyone have any idea why Octopath: Champions of the Continent and Fire Emblem Heroes don't show up in the Play Store on the RP2+? Brave Exvius does so I doubt it's a gacha thing.

Doesn’t the play store not show things your device can’t run?

Does it? Still seems weird that a couple of gacha rpgs couldn't run on it, especially since CoD: Warzone and FF: Brave Exvius are available.

It’s possible that it can run, but the developer hasn’t approved it on that CPU or screen size.

You could always try downloading the apk/obb and install that way if you wanted to try. There are ways to download it from the Play store and not rely on questionable sites.

The Google Play store also has options for publishers to disable visibility of apps based on software environment factors like having root access, so it could be any number of things about the device or how it is configured.

Hopefully it won't have the issue that my 351V has where the right shoulder buttons stick unless I have the case slightly open. That happen to anyone else?

Nope, my 351V has seen the most play of any of my handhelds and it’s been great since the day I got it. Realistically I’ll prolly not upgrade from it until we break into more console territory.

Some of these things use old parts that they were able to get a good deal on - Vita OLEDs, Blackberry Bold LCDs, old SoCs, etc. So they’ll design a handheld to use up whatever they’ve got, and unless it’s a wild success and worth sourcing more parts, they’ll make a new one to use whatever the next cheap parts are.

So what's the best handheld under $200 at the moment? Also, is there any news on when the RP3 is hitting Amazon? Obviously Amazon is trash and Bezos can rot in hell etc etc but when I bought an original RP, the whole DHL shipping token system confused me.

Odin Lite comes in just under 200 before shipping and definitely outperforms anything else in that price range, but you're going to be waiting a while to get one

If you can spend more money, there's no better power to cost ratio than the steam deck, but you're going to be waiting a while to get that too

You might not be waiting long for a Deck actually, August preorders are starting to get emails so it could be less than a month.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again the $399 deck is the best value in gaming right now.

Even just for retro stuff a device that can play basically anything and also have full video out it’s a hella deal now production is catching up. Logitech just announced their handheld with a Snapdragon 740 and they want $300 for it.

Also I said Snapdragon 740, it's apparently just a 720. They're pitching it as a streaming device but even then I think most people would say the Retroid Pocket 3 is still going to be better for that for a fraction of the price.

I did the exact same thing. Not sure if purple was the best play but that's the way I went. My biggest concern is whether the thumbstick positions will make my tendons explode, with screen QC being a close second.

The RGC review of the RG353P gives me high hopes of what this thing will be capable of, though.

Yeah why give Logitech $299 when you can just get the RP3 for $119

It gets like 5-9 hours of battery life too lol

As an aside I don’t understand how The Phawx only has 65k subs. Like he gets mentions on LTT and other huge channels but it doesn’t seem to translate into more subscribers for him.

For pure game streaming it’s going to be hard to beat the RP3.

Its just a reference to the last fulfilled order and your order time. TBH its way more useless than ever before (when it was only barely of any use) because they're shipping so much now a days.
