My Odin Lite arrived yesterday, it's awesome. Still a lot of setup to do but I tested a bunch of different systems (up to Wii/DS/Dreamcast) and it handled them very well. Seems to be great at streaming too!

njsykora posted:The Retroid Pocket does that too, which he brings up in the video. Also for $50 more than the G-Cloud you can have a Steam Deck and do all that anyway with higher native performance. Yes but screen size. I tried to get my 552 to play sewer shark the other day and I just couldn’t get it to go. Wife got all pissy because the fan kept spinning up (playing in bed while she was trying to fall asleep). Sadly it was just playing a sega master system game.

I'm thinking about buying one of those arcade emulators with all the games preloaded. Anyone got any recommendations? I was thinking one of these two https://www.retrogaminghouse.com/pr...ogle%20Shopping https://www.amazon.com/Console-Pand...la-899551024458

Those kinds of things almost always seem to have really badly configured emulators and a ton of junk roms like bad romhacks and fan translations or just multiple versions of the same game. If you absolutely need a box preloaded with stuff then I figure the former would probably be fine but I'd be curious why.

I couldn't be more specific but I think Retro Game Corps who is at least trustworthy has done a couple reviews on all-in-ones like that where he covers whether they are worth getting even if it's only to completely overhaul the software yourself. It seems like most are lovely out of the box but can be software modded in some way to make them decent.

Does it have to be preloaded with games? There are some cheaper options if you're willing to do some work.

What I really want is to have a thing I can plug into a tv and play arcade roms and make look like an arcade but I've never been able to get MAME or any other arcade emulator to work so I'm willing to pay if someone else can get one to work and sell it to me.

A PC can look amazing with the right configuration. Raspberry Pi can be setup pretty well too BUT it's a lot harder to fix if something breaks. If you have a laptop that you can connect to your PC that's the way to go, imho.

I’d be careful using stock WhateverElec on the new RG353 line. I’ve been using the in game save features without backing up with a state and lost 1-2 hours of progress in a game when it decided “nah I’m not gonna actually overwrite the file.” Not sure where it writes saves to do testing but I’d watch out and use states until a better Linux OS comes out.

RP2 is a good piece of kit by most accounts. I got a Miyoo Mini recently and I am in love with it, but I know the small form factor + fragility + lack of analogue stick are dealbreakers for some.

I've been playing Goldeneye on it and having a blast (usually 60fps but slows down to ~50fps in certain spots using Retroarch).

Apparently the games they pre-install under Capcom CPS1-3, FinalBurnAlpha and NeoGeo are ok, however, and that is a good chunk of arcade games, just not as many as MAME supports. Sorry, but them's the breaks. You're either going to have to fix at least some of the roms and configuration that come with them, or roll your own solution. You can also wait for a newer generation of boxes to come out that might have a better pre-configuration. The Pandora's Box products are as I understand it a real crapshoot, with poor quality sticks and buttons for the price, giant sizes, unpredictable emulation quality and processing power (the latest number may be less powerful than the previous because there's not one company making these). Basically avoid them. El Gallinero Gros posted:Is Evercade or Retrocade worth it? It has some nice stuff in the library and I'd prefer one I can play on my TV The Evercade seems fine for what it is, it's emulated ROMs on tiny GBA sized cartridges at about $20 for 5 games or so. Like catnip for collectors who must have something physical. It's just emulated ROMs, yeah, but it's a legal way to buy these games for fairly cheap, and if something horrible happened to the internet and all of our computers somehow, then your physical evercade collection would be the only way to play these games.

However they're not like the cheapo famiclones where it's the same 50 NES games duplicated 50 times over with hacked levels or edited sprites and such. If you've maintained your own rom collection over the years, or gotten a good collection from archive.org, you don't need what comes with them. And in the cases where they try to charge more for a bigger collection (on aliexpress or their own site), it's not worth paying more for the bigger one. The Retroid Pocket 2+ and 3 and the Ayn Odin are the only ones that don't come with any built in roms of dubious quality. Brrrmph posted:Got it.

I’m hoping RA just changed a default directory and a usable file will be hiding somewhere on the card. They definitely don’t make the OS card easy to access and I haven’t been able to figure out SSH credentials for the 353V yet.

Yeah it's way too expensive and underpowered and the analog sticks have Ouya levels of deadzone and the d-pad can't do diagonals and the controls don't work with the Android games you'd actually want to play and it only supports FAT32 for the SD card which prevents you running any bigger games but LOOK AT THAT SCREEN! Seriously so many reviews I've seen of this thing have focused on the screen like a 7" 1080p screen is some mind breaking new technology when you can't emulate the systems that'd really benefit from a 1080p upscale at that level of upscale because it's so underpowered. The control issues I think even discount the value you'll get from it if it flops (which it probably will) and goes on heavy fire sale. njsykora fucked around with this message at 23:32 on Oct 25, 2022 |

RGC was way too kind to that thing. "Diagonal dpad doesn't even register, the stick dead zones will lead to unexpected movements, handheld mode is a pain in the rear end, and many Android games are literally unplayable without button remapping which doesn't exist. But outside of these use cases it's very impressive!!! One of my favorite devices!"
