If I didn't already have an RP3+ that would be pretty neat, but it being the exact same aside from the triggers and sliders puts a hamper on that pretty effectively. The price is still pretty right, but I wouldn't recommend it over an RP3+, especially now that you can get hall sticks for it.

I would be very wary of buying a Retroid product that's the same guts in a new shell given their history.

Even people on Twitter who are usually the ultra positivity types are saying yeah that active cooling is 100% there because they're expecting to put a more powerful chip in it later.

ended up getting a 353V, at least partly because of one-day shipping and partly because i have no idea what os is going to work better so why not get one that does both i imagine it'll do basically anything i can throw at it, since I'm almost certainly not going to ask anything of it more recent than the mid-90s. probably overkill but gently caress it

Speaking of the RP3+, it looks like my screen kind of has a funky glow on dark colors. It's almost like the glue is bad on the screen. Can't really get a good picture of it because my phone keeps screwing up the exposure unfortunately.

The reason phones get away without it is because they're doing light tasks 99% of the time and only really need to ramp up to full blast for a second or two here and there. If you try to push them it doesn't take long for thermal throttling to kick in hard.

Miyoo Mini Plus would be a decent device for the price. Assuming they don't sell out forever like the mini did. Or the RG35XX.

You can get away with not having analogue sticks but being able to use L2/R2 without the need for a toggle button is worth paying more and getting something modern

Last I checked modable PSPs were in the $200+ dollar range, unless there’s been advancements. From personal experience a Retroid 2+ or something equivalent will do you. Or one of those android phone cases with a built in controller and a playstore purchase of the PSX emulator. Basically, it’s still a matter of comparing specs, looking at comparative YouTube vids and finding something in stock.

Don’t overlook the RG351 devices, they’ll do PS1 handily and have 2 analog sticks (351V notwithstanding).

So I'm trying to work with this thing and the instructions are just confusing enough to be annoying, and the interface is frankly opaque. I've also never touched retroarch, so I can tell it's going to be a delight. I've just now discovered that the key to being able to manipulate the filesystems at all is to have it plugged into my PC while in android mode - my PC can't read the SD cards in a card reader of their own, and it doesn't do anything but charge on usb in linux mode. to be fair, it also requires a data cable which it did not come with. thankfully I've got several here at my desk. It is a really wacky collection of roms that are preinstalled on this thing that I'm going to have to wipe out and replace with my own poo poo, I absolutely cannot follow the logic with some of this

The Voice of Labor posted:what's the cheapest one of these things that will run playstation games well? There are reasons to get a Miyoo Mini+, an RG 351(V/P/M) or an RG353VS, which are all a little more expensive. But I think the clearest answer to this question is the RG35XX which is currently in stock and is $56 before shipping. It should run every PS1 game that does not require two analog sticks (so basically just not Ape Escape) flawlessly. If PS1 for cheap is your number one priority, I think this is the obvious answer. Edit: While this still doesn't beat the price of a Miyoo or 35XX, and you still need to get the charger and a memory card, one of ya'll probably should jump on this: https://www.ebay.com/p/12028526109?iid=124898264526. Looks like there are a few ~$95 Vitas on Ebay. If they're in good condition that seems like a good deal. Nickoten fucked around with this message at 14:29 on Mar 19, 2023 |

Yeah the problem with reccing official hardware is that PSPs and Vitas are starting to get expensive again to the point where I wouldn't recommend one just for PS1 stuff.

I've also never touched retroarch, so I can tell it's going to be a delight. 1. Relax. 2. Throw out the SD card that came with your 353v. It will likely fail and you'll have to do this all over again. Get two new ones. You'll use one for the Linux OS and the second one for games. 3. Go buy a SD>USB adapter. These only cost a few bucks if you get one off Amazon or AliExpress. If you're hellbent on not doing it this way, you'll need to SSH (wiki in next step or Google it) or continue loving around with cables in android. 4. Pick an operating system. ArkOS has a very fleshed out Wiki and FAQ that should clear things up if you're willing to take the time to skim through it as you go. Follow the steps and flash the appropriate image. https://github.com/christianhaitian/arkos/wiki 5. There's info in this wiki about setting up the second SD card with your roms. Each unit has its own FAQ with info like this. 6. Take time to watch some videos that will walk you through how things work. There are countless of these on YouTube. This channel in particular has several detailed tutorials for Retroarch and other similar devices. https://youtu.be/icGYGriNkF4

I've been totally avoiding it on my RP3+ but it's a little tough. The Duckstation PSX emulator, for example, doesn't let you bind key combos as hotkeys which is a big deal for a device that doesn't have extra buttons. What's the best NES emulator to use on Android? I don't think Russ had a recommendation in his RP3 starter guide.
