I'm still playing Assassin's Creed Bloodlines and it's good. The PSP Gran Turismo also remains a really good thing to pull out for a quick race when you have 5 minutes. A decent chunk of the library has PS2 ports but they're iffy in places (Ratchet and Clank Size Matters is apparently a buggy mess on PS2) and there's other remasters done. Like Loco Roco Remastered on PS5 looks real nice, as does Ridge Racer 2. The port of Test Drive Unlimited also needs to be seen to be believed.

Wow, thanks for the heads up. I had no idea TDU released on PSP. RP3+ should be able to run it I recon.

It's most impressive on an actual PSP (not necessarily a great port but a drat impressive technical achievement when you consider how much of it remained) but still great if you want that handheld TDU action. The port of Midnight Club Los Angeles (LA Remix) is also arguably better than the big console versions as it adds a whole second storyline in Tokyo as well as the LA stuff.

There's a few other utterly "how" ports like Force Unleashed, Outrun 2006 (even had transfarring with the PS2 release before kojima coined the phrase), MK Unchained, Tekken 6, THUG2, The Warriors, etc

It was save sync between the PS3 and Vita versions of MGS2/3 yeah. I think there was an option for Peace Walker also but it's been a while

I really miss the console era of every device having its own version of the game. Would much rather have that than the 10fps switch ports we get now

3:2 is perfect because if you are particular about aspect ratios you get the slimmest overall black bars and if you're normal it doesn't stretch the images out very much

This is a plus for the rg351p, I'm always surprised at how little real estate is wasted on black bars

My Miyoo Mini Plus is supposed to be delivered today. Temu seems very shady, but it appears I'm actually going to get my $35 handheld and I didn't get my bank account hacked or anything so that's a plus.

Has anyone gotten shipping notifications for their Retroid Pocket 2S yet? I know they said they were going to ship a couple colors first but I assumed I would have seen someone posting shipment notifications or videos of one in the wild if they started on the 10th.

1. Wanna let me know how games like WindWaker run on it when you set it up? I’m curious if I’ll finally play it for the first time (been waiting on a remaster for like 6 years, what the heck Nintendo.)

2. How are the new sticks and triggers?

3. How’s the boot time?

4. How you doin today? Pretty good?

1. I'll check it out. It did get a remaster on the Wii U, though, and if you have a Steam Deck that version should play fine.
2. They feel great. Super high quality. Nice firm motion on the triggers. Dpad is nice and clicky. Buttons are ok but not amazing.
3. About 22 seconds from off to lock screen
4. I'm good, thank you for asking!

Last one I forgot to ask: I’m stoked to play a lot of N64 on it, does the left stick placement feel comfortable for stuff like Mario 64?

God, you vindictive bitch, why can't I ever have any "me" time

Anyone have a 405/505 who's tried getting specifically the PS2 Burnout games working on it? I've only been able to find a couple examples on YouTube that looked like they were running at maybe 75% speed, but there were no benchmarks visible and I don't know if they were playing the PAL version or bothered to enable frameskip or anything.

Even with all the hacks on a RP3+ Burnout 3 doesn't run well, it's just too demanding a game for any of these things to run right now.

Kinda borderline tbh. My thumb has to go at almost a 90 degree angle to sit on the left stick while keeping my index finger on the shoulder. I think you'll need a grip to feel comfortable for long play sessions.

Windwaker GCN seems to hang around 30FPS at 1x resolution with max CPU usage of 35% on the tutorial island so that seems pretty promising.

It's still not ideal, but I can confirm that, having tried it, remapping Me & My Katamari's controls onto a dual analog setup mimicking the other games does at least make it playable, as compared to the experience on original hardware. Seriously, that game on PSP button controls was gaming's biggest crime against hands since the Jaguar controller.

Mortal Kombat 1/2/3:
A-4

I have block assigned as 6, the right shoulder and Run as 5, the left shoulder. You might like that a different way.
