The RP2 looks to be a real winner at $90 shipped. The 350M is a pretty significant price jump IMO.

sethsez posted:It absolutely is, but the build quality is fantastic and the general design and layout is pretty much perfect. How much that matters is gonna vary from person to person, but it's not nothing. Yeah I get that I really just think it should be closer too $100 IMO. I have the 350 and it’s a fantastic device I just think at this point the 350M is a tad over priced. TBH you can’t go wrong with either though.

The United States posted:Gamecube is just doable on midrange phones on up. High end phones can do Gamecube and Wii well and some PS2 and even Saturn games, so if you bodge together your own handheld with such a phone and a controller grip you're good. Yeah my GPD win max can do PS2/GameCube and some ps3 but it was also $800. The new GPD win 3 can probably do PS3 at this point though because the win max was super close on a lot of games.

AFAIK the psp struggled with some snes stuff even. I think the vita does a better job with it.

Marx Headroom posted:Good news! You can buy a special memory adapter called SD2Vita that works perfectly with microSD cards! I agree with mostly everything else you said. Also the vita can run Android games now like GTA 3 and stuff. AFAIK they’ve busted open the OpenGL on it and are doing some cool stuff.

It might have changed but last I knew snes on the vita wasn’t the greatest. So yeah an RG351 would be your best bet. It could have changed though so I’m sure someone will say one way or the other.

Wamdoodle posted:I want one but man that is a lot to give out to an untested company but at the same time I'm not sure I want to give anything to GPD for the Win 3 because I feel like the sliding screen is a point of failure and the keyboard is basically a touchscreen The Win3 is a power house but that screen holds it back. Not only the sliding part but also the size. I’m pretty happy with the WinMax but the Neo looks to be significantly better. If I hadn’t gotten the Neo for the super discounted price I probably would have held off.

Weedle posted:nothing in the sub-$200 range is going to do dreamcast well. your best bet is probably the aya neo but it's a full-fledged handheld ryzen pc so it's like $800 This or a GPD Win max for about $500. I just checked eBay since I’m selling mine eventually and you can get them for about $500 or so. A more powerful machine will get you ps2 game cube and some ps3 as well.

Wamdoodle posted:There's the Moqi line of phone/retro consoles if you want an Android OS. The RP2's problem is it's pokey processor. Imo at this point this thing is vastly over priced. You can definitely get a phone + slide controller for the same or cheaper that will do the same thing and be faster.

I think I am gonna hold off on it TBH. My Aya Neo would be here a out the same time and that can do significantly more. I might just hack my vita or something in the mean time ( or just use the fuckin RG350 I already have ).

I think these are all the retro handhelds I have.  The big one is a GPD something ( I can’t remember) The white one is a GBA clone (it has a GBA slot on the bottom). The RG350 works great. The retro mini doesn’t work so great but it wasn’t expensive. The GPD 3DS clone works ok I just need to change the firmware around because the stock stuff sucks. Edit: it’s a GPD XD quote:
So maybe a little les powerful vs the 351? It’s hard to say. MarcusSA fucked around with this message at 00:00 on Mar 19, 2021 |

Well my GPD XD run was short lived. The stock firmware was always whack so I tried to flash it to a better custom version (the firm ware should work as its a big community one) and well its bricked lol. I'm not 100% sure the device was always working to start with  I spent a few hours trying to fix it but no dice. Oh well!

Rolo posted:Toooootal shot in the dark but I’ve had hardware unbrick enough to reflash after pulling the battery for a few minutes. Maybe try that? I’d have to take the back off and pull it that way. It’s an android machine and it takes me to the android recovery screen it just doesn’t see the update File on the SD card. There is another option but that involves installing sketch Chinese software on my PC and doing it from there.

Voodoo Cafe posted:if it's the original GPD XD, make sure that you're installing legacyrom, cleanrom is only for the GPD XD+. Way back when i downloaded the rockchip flashing tool (or something named like that) and reflashed mine that way. Yeah that’s what I did and it just locks up on the boot screen. Sometimes it reboots itself but it never gets past the legacy rom boot screen. In other news DC got a pretty nice boost on the RG351 https://youtu.be/vfL3ohWaYgk
