Miyoo Mini + just arrived from KeepRetro. Big improvement in holdability for me! I got the retro colored one.

How does the RG35xx compare to the Miyoo Mini+? It's available and similarly priced.

The D-pad on my RG35XX kind of sucks, marginally less with an aftermarket set of buttons but it's kind of soured me on the whole device. My first gen Miyoo Mini (not plus) has no issues with the inputs other than it being too small for me to play for long periods of time

E: Judging from Twitter both Russ and Phawx have ROG Ally's too, they really are going hard with this thing. Weird since it'll probably be twice the price and have half the battery life. njsykora fucked around with this message at 03:47 on Apr 4, 2023 |

It’s real, it’s gonna be fancy, expensive and have a short battery life. I bet it won’t compete with the deck’s market but it’s probably going to wreck handheld PC’s from lesser known companies.

Yeah if it takes off even slightly (and sells in territories the Steam Deck doesn't) it basically nukes Ayaneo and OneXPlayer out of the high end space. Though at a certain point I agree with people who've been saying for the love of god just get a 4050/4060 gaming laptop if you're going to drop high 3-figures/low 4-figures on a handheld PC.

This new amd chip is made in the most advanced 4nm process, compared to Deck's slightly cheaper 7nm process. I really doubt it will sell for less than an iphone 14/Samsung S22. Although I am not saying there is no market for it. I think it's cooler looking than the Deck some will want to show it off outside like a convertible race car. stephenthinkpad fucked around with this message at 10:49 on Apr 4, 2023 |

Got my GPD Win 4. It's pretty much my dream console from when I was a teenager but gently caress I think my eyes are getting too old to handle Windows on a 1080p 6 inch screen.

There is a post on the GamingLeaksAndRumors subreddit that says the 512GB model is going to be $650 and Microsoft is involved with promotion. https://reddit.com/r/GamingLeaksAndRumours/comments/12b7fjx/rog_ally_features_and_pricing/ Obviously this is just a random post and who knows if it is accurate. If they can hit that kind of price I think it will do alright. The biggest knock against the post is that they say Sony is working on a new handheld.

If Microsoft is throwing its weight behind it to try and cut SteamOS off at the legs that’d be both very funny and also the best thing for Asus. If it hits the same price as the Deck because Microsoft thinks it can generate some Game Pass subs it might have a chance.

I do have to say though the 10 inch screen on my GPD win max 2 at 1600p is really nice. Not very many games can play well at that resolution though lol. It does have a 40hz mode though. Shouldn’t a 120hz screen have a 40hz mode? Consoles can do 40fps but only on 120hz screens.

If you can get a clean 40fps lock ingame you should still look good on a 120hz display as it divides into it, yeah. I'm seeing some people saying it's a VRR display which would be very interesting and would hopefully have a nice wide range.

Just figured out that it is possible to get Amiga 800 emulation working on the 280v; Simplemenu doesn't have a section for it so you have to launch Retroarch directly and load the Amiga800 core which is assigned to Amiga 5200 by default. Then, despite that Retroarch will detect the BIOS, the emulator itself won't until you try to load an .atr, get the error message, then hit R, go into Emulator Configuration > System ROM Settings > 400/800 OS ROM Locations, then if you're going the NTSC route you need to assign ATARIOSB.ROM to "Custom" because it will never, for some reason, register the checksum correctly. Then also set the default ROM folder manually while you're in there, any other default paths you want to fix, and save the config exactly once because if you try to save it again it'll corrupt itself. (It populates straight to the Home directory if you need to delete it and start over.) You also can't really use savestates with it because those are baked into the emulator rather than at the RA level despite it being a core and it requires you to type out savestate names manually but doesn't offer a virtual keyboard. But most stuff runs quite well!

When so many are chasing the dragon of upgrades, always seeking the hottest new thing that will run stuff just slightly better, you keep pulling your own to do stuff it wasn't known for.

Oh, definitively. There's no Amiga 800 or Amiga 5200. Those are all Atari devices. Amiga is the computer line from Commodore. Funny thing is while reading that post my brain automatically corrected it from just seeing the numbers.

Whoops, I guess that's what I get for staying up until 3 AM on this stuff.Saoshyant posted:Dropping a word of appreciation on seeing your occasional posts trying to get the most out of this device. When so many are chasing the dragon of upgrades, always seeking the hottest new thing that will run stuff just slightly better, you keep pulling your own to do stuff it wasn't known for. That is pretty cool. Hey, thanks. I'd probably have gotten a 353M if it were just that little bit more powerful (or cheaper), 353V if it had the hall effect sticks, or the 405 if it supported Linux. Meanwhile though, I've always believed in squeezing the most use feasible out of aging-spec devices. Probably comes from growing up on welfare.  And the 280 is a particularly unique case in that it for some reason comes loaded with this swath of extra emulators outside of what's indicated by Simplemenu, which may or may not work for various reasons. And then there's the source ports you need to get from elsewhere that might be several years out of date and broken.Stuff that needs notable tinkering, but works:
While I'm at it, here's the process to get OutRun, Cave Story, and other single-core games populated into Simplemenu:
Also I highly recommend Prince of Persia 1 and 2 for DOS if you grab the standalone Dosbox from RGC's site; they both run really well, don't particularly need custom keymaps, and are easily among the best versions of both games. If I ever get a higher-end device I think the first thing I'm going to do is see what the increased overhead allows Dosbox to run, lol

Just discovered Simplemenu has theme assets for the A800 and NGPC all ready and waiting to go, but they were removed from the system categories in the .ini files for some reason.  Handy to have, though!e: TG16 and TGCD, too, if you prefer those over the PCE and PCE-CD defaults. Perplexingly, no Mega Drive variant despite the folder defaulting to "MD".
