DS4, Dualsense, Pro 2, I think the Xbox elite is decent?

I thought we were talking dpads only. Bumper wise (R1/L1) I dont think about it and build quality seems fine, but thats also not exactly a ringing endorsement.

Edit: Oh do you mean how the dpad is convex instead of concave? That rules. It gives you so much precision and comfort over a traditional design.

Anyone tried Hori controllers? I'm not looking for the Sega layout specifically but the Fighting Commander looks pretty cool

Fighting Commander is pretty decent! It has a contingent of diehards who will go to bat for it, but it’s very rarely the controller I pick up first.

I like my Xbox Hori fighting commander but I've found that it doesn't work in all use cases.

Like if I plug it into a WingmanSD and plug that into my Saturn it makes my console do weird poo poo.

The latest (the one that comes with the Series S/X) Xbox controller microswitch d-pad really is the best d-pad, it has the feel and precision of using a nice arcade stick but in d-pad form, but as was noted it is really REALLY loud. Also it's a demoted d-pad instead of promoted, so it's not the best controller overall for anything retro, but yeah that d-pad is real nice.

I would bet my life savings on there being a DMG-001 colour scheme and a Super Famicom colour scheme. Probably also Gamecube Purple.

These are the 4 color options the original Miyoo Mini came in so I would expect the same for the plus sized model

I think they'll change the clear blue, that one always seemed to be the least popular and it's not like they can reuse any cases they have left since it's a bigger device.

That shade is affectionately known as "nicotine" in the SBC subreddit + RGH discord.

Is there any info out yet on where they're sourcing the displays for the mini+? There was a lot of variance in the colour temperature/clarity of the Blackberry panels in the original mini, hopefully things are gonna be more consistent this time

rename ppsspp/PSP/SYSTEM/controls.ini to reset the mapping. Where exactly that is depends on the firmware, for many it's actually in the roms/psp/ folder so you can just pop your roms sd card into your pc to do it. For others it may be in /home/<user>/.config/ppsspp, in that case you might be able to get to it using 351files or whatever file browser the stock firmware has if any.

You could also use an OTG adapter to plug a keyboard in and use that to fix it.

So if you are feelin froggy you can get this phone for $40

It goes in and out of stock so you just have to keep checking

Edit actually that video uses a little older processor but it’s probably gonna preform about the same. Also people say the battery life is legit.

FYI you have to port your number to get that deal. If you are getting a new number you have to pay an extra 30(?)

I got a couple Metro by Tmobile phones for $40 each (comes with 1 month of 30gb highspeed data) for my last roadtrip so I know this. I got the oneplus n200.

However there are tons of mid tier phones you can get for free with $40 plan on their website so you can browse around and see which cpu has the fastest emulation power. If I have a spare number I can do the porting in their store I would get the Moto 6.8" phone or the 1+ n20.

The site is saying no port ins required but it’s not in stock right now so I can’t verify that.



Even as a streaming device it’s not bad really.
