I got a letter from the government the other day
opened it, read it
it said they was bitches




Well, I got an rg353v for 50 bucks off, but all they had was white, not atomic purple. How do I jazz this sucker up?

it's...? probably an rp3+ in a 2+ form?

Hmm, what have we here?
If it comes in clear colors like the 2 did I will buy one and once again… be talking like it’s the last one I’m gonna buy.

I used my 3+ more than any of these and I love it more than the MM+ I’ve been tinkering with but I never used the extra screen real estate. Give me something shaved down a little bit and I’ll probably buy it.

Also the RP2 was my first one of these and I feel kinda nostalgic already for the thing.

Looks like it has the new vita-style d-pad and sticks (including an actual right stick this time).

Lets them reuse the cheaper 640x480 3.5" screens, perhaps the iPhone SE screens in the RP3/3+ are becoming rare

Honestly it also has superior button placement overall.

Downside is the new d-pad and sticks would mean that it's not compatible with all the old variant colored shells that the RP2 and 2+ have.

I've heard you can run Honkai on the rp3+, but I haven't downloaded it yet. If you get it going, can you let me know how you mapped the controller inputs?

My first thought was that the sticks are too close to the screen but it may help for thumb placement.

I really hope they have clear colors, if not the atomic purple with light grey buttons always looks good.

It didn't take much fiddling at all, it does take a specific spot for its virtual stick, so you have to get that placed properly and remember to set the right stick wherever but make it camera control not the default right stick behavior. Then just face buttons to regular attack, skill and enviromental skill and L1 to the sprint button plus a button for the default use thing position for opening doors and talking to people. Those did take a bit of tweaking to get them in a point where they not only set off the button when pressed but are also in the right place when the button is inactive to select it. I did briefly try to set menu and ultimate buttons too but decided using touch would just be easier for that. I might end up using the d-pad for those once I have a full party since changing character outside battle is less necessary than it is in Genshin. Performance is basically same as Genshin too, lowest settings and 30fps runs just fine. Though the login screen is apparently way more demanding so changing region took a while.

Yes the girl's name is March 7th. I think I joked to myself when those 2 showed up after your main character (playing the complete hits with the amnesiac protagonist) wakes up that thank god I've been rescued by a twink and an e-girl. Mihoyo knows their audience (it's me).

That's really annoying, especially as many adventure games have verbs and inventory and stuff right at the bottom.

tbh I wouldn't really want to deal with all the tiny touch zones with a touchscreen that small anyway. Broken Sword worked decently on the DS with a stylus, though.

Perhaps I should get a cheap Android tablet just for ScummVM instead. I used to use a hacked B&N Nook HD but it's hella old now and ScummVM stopped working on it.

They sorta look like full sized sticks, rather than the Switch form factor?

e: yeah if they're Gulikit hall sticks those are certainly not the Joycon form factor. Now I'm really interested!

Is it weird that Retroid is copying the 4x3 screen and metal case from Anbernic?

Is the 405m that popular that they are doing their version of 405m plus?

have they removed the little logo in the lower right of the screen? That's a big turn off for me.

I don't know about sales but it was recieved well enough that they probably figured might as well. We have the design and the chip already and it doesn't look like Android emulation is moving that much further any time soon so gotta find the niches where you can.

They're not really copying the 4:3 screen, it's an updated RP2/2+ which had that aspect ratio

might be a strange opinion but I hope we get something soon that has the power of the 405M but isnt android based. I prefer the Linux based OS that my 353M uses compared to the Flip. Android just feels kinda sloppy
