drat, I just saw Aya’s app promises. Does that thing really work as a posting place of gamers? I def kinda like that console access stuff. Too bad their pricing is high.

I just got the version for xbox one / series s/x. I love it. I have an older one (n30) that works with the pocket that I bought as “broken” for like $20. Replaced the jank buttons with genuine sanwa buttons and it rocks for playing Neo geo games on the pocket.

What about one of these Neo Geo Fight Sticks? It can hook right up to a tv for games loaded on it, or it acts like a usb fight stick for other devices.

Just reminds of a big rear end game pad. Uncomfortable to have on my lap and wobbly on a table? I dunno. I was never a big fan of Terry Bogard.

I should hook up my Neo geo and play it. My youngest will sometimes play a game with me that name out before he was born. The older one not so much. So apparently polymegas (polymegii?) are actually getting shipped to Japan. I have absolutely zero faith in Playmaji to meet their promise to have 100% of base unit orders delivered before the end of the year but now I’m wondering where exactly I’m going to put it. Especially since I ordered an analogue duo which is similarly supposed to be delivered by years end. I think I’m going to run into a storage dilemma.

Hypothetically, how impossible would it be to transplant a 4” display onto a Retroid Pocket 2? Let’s just assume the bezel is big enough to accommodate the size difference.

Nothing is impossible if you either have skill, money, or the ability to accept a hideous thing you’ve created.

Been reading about Sanwa switches and how they’re effectively arcade parts. That video from the retro console army guy made it seem like the difference wasn’t much though. So is it worth it? Also, I was checking out this thread and they mention some extra parts, what are they here: https://focusattack.com/ Something about a 4 lb spring and an octogate? (As you can tell, I don’t know much about fight sticks but I want to play shmups and such. Aiming for a purple and green color scheme.

It's all about feel, if you don't have knowledge of what specifically you want from an arcade stick you'll probably be fine with whatever buttons are stock in the 8bitdo stick. Then if you want to go down the dark road that is custom arcade sticks go with god.

Just hold the thing closer to your face if you want a bigger screen. Some people, I swear.

what got me thinking down this line was the paranoid idea of Retroid pulling another 3+ and releasing a new 2S with a larger screen in a month's time

The 3+ wasn’t a larger screen though. If they were going to do a bigger screen it’d just be a whole new device. Also if you wanted a 4” 4:3 screen the 405 was right there.

I haven't even touched my 2S (it's still in China). I don't know whether the screen will bother me that much. I was thinking out loud. I know about the 405, which might have been ideal, but it's a whole lot more expensive.

So is it worth it? Before you start modding, start playing games with it. Find what you like and you don't like about it, then mod it to your tastes. You might be completely happy with how it plays as is.

Doing emulation on first party consoles and handhelds that aren't the Series S/X is just asking for more of a headache than it's worth dealing with, just buy a third party handheld and save yourself a lot of frustration
