Are there any good sites or recommendations for some fan hacks to play on these? I just updated my RG353p to the latest UnofficialOS/JelOS and it’s been too long since I’ve tried some new ones.

The abundance of choice can paralyze you. And honestly, sometimes it’s more fun to set it all up and a slight let down when you’re all done but have no idea what to play.

I bought my Miyoo Mini Plus from AliExpress/Ampown Official Store on April 4th for $65.01 and it just arrived today. Two weeks, not bad at all. Two left in the gray as of this second: https://m.aliexpress.us/item/325680...randl_shipto=US

And if not, there’s always the Raspberry Pi route with USB NES controllers (or just go SNES).

And if you really want the Tiny NES experience, you can always get a cheap case for the Pi. https://www.amazon.com/Retroflag-Functional-button-Shutdown-Raspberry/dp/B07BRHDVTN

stephenthinkpad posted:I follow handheld retro console fairly closely. Also the current handheld market have clear winners on each price bracket and makes it very easy. I'm sure someone knows more, but the only things that qualify for that are those mini NES/SNES/Genesis consoles that were released a couple of years back.

REMEMBER SPONGE MONKEYS posted:Honestly it’s not the aesthetics of the old box, I mostly just like the simple controller (for NES, anyway - I had only that for a long, long time, so I’m a hermit about most anything else). I would like a set and forget thing too, but paying $200 (or needing to build and many hours) there is stretching my interest. I did bid on a modded one on eBay, but nothing was a clear, easy choice. It's not really hard at all to set something up with Retropie on your PC/Pi. You download the image, burn it to an SD card, and then add the games you want to play. All the emulators are included. But for set it and forget it, yeah, the old NES/SNES/Genesis consoles are about the best way to accomplish that, and even then you can still add more games to them really easily using hakchi2-ce (https://github.com/teamshinkansen/hakchi2-ce/releases/).

REMEMBER SPONGE MONKEYS posted:Forgive my ignorance, but you use your PC to load up the SD card with emulator and roms and then use that where/how? There is a first start install to Retropie at https://retropie.org.uk/docs/First-Installation/ but just in a nutshell using a Raspberry Pi as an example: 1. Download the image of Retropie that is premade for your Raspberry Pi at https://retropie.org.uk/download/ 2. Use a program like Balana Etcher or Win32DiskImager to burn that image to an SD Card. 3. Insert the SD card into the Raspberry Pi and power it on. It will expand to use all the space on the SD card and boot into Emulation Station when complete. You can also attach a controller to the Pi now as it will help you set it up. 4. Once it’s installed, you can transfer your games over to the Pi in a couple of ways. I normally use SFTP and WinSCP but there are a couple of other ways too. 5. Once the games are transferred, reboot the Pi, it will pick up the games, and you can play from there. There’s a lot more that can be configured, but these are just the basic steps. The links have more info, but if it looks daunting, it really isn’t. Good luck!

REMEMBER SPONGE MONKEYS posted:Cheers, it does seem a bit daunting but I’ll see if I can get things together enough to try it. Understandable, but it’s gotten so much easier and better in the last few years, it’s really not difficult at all.

REMEMBER SPONGE MONKEYS posted:Is it sufficient to just grab whatever emulators and game packages or are there gold standards? Or I guess maybe the emulators are on the core device and you just need to bring in the library ( It depends on the device, but usually the OS has the emulators already included, and when you update the OS, the emulators get updated. You do bring in your own library. Usually the OS documentation/wiki will show the emulators available, which will show which file types they are able to use.

coconono posted:Yeah unfortunately to get any type of interesting to me retro emulation(ps2 and OG Xbox), I’m looking at building an x86_64 system with a graphics card and that’s like $400 just to start. If you didn't need OG Xbox, I'd just recommend getting an Xbox Series S and putting it in dev mode.

coconono posted:Tried thus, it’s pretty good! Highly recommend. Only downside is it only uses a 20GB partition. Nah, just grab a 1TB external SSD for $70 or so from Amazon and use that. It's what I do. Archades Games has a ton of useful Youtube tutorials for anyone who wants to try it.

stephenthinkpad posted:Got a question for you guys. I got a cruise trip coming up. I assume they have a TV screen I can hook up with a hdmi cable. Just know that some cruises have tiny little TVs in the cabins, and sometimes they lock it up in the back or make it really hard to get to. Also, bring one of those orange three-way splitters or some way to extend your power needs because the cabins don't really have a lot of spare outlets. Are you going to be getting the wifi on the cruise? Watching movies you store on a device, fine, but don't really count on watching something over the internet. Cruise wifi is notoriously slow and they will not allow you to stream unless you buy the ultra expensive package. Also, don't stay in your cabin at all times, get out and enjoy everything else.

LionArcher posted:So if I also want GameCube ps2 games deck and to use on the tv the deck is way better than the 3 + right? Big price difference, but between handheld and the fact that it can plug into a keyboard and mouse and play Diablo 4 and age of empires… I’m tempted by the deck. Especially if you get one of the newly discounted models.

njsykora posted:My one issue with the Series S thing is I don’t trust Microsoft to yank that functionality at any moment. They could but that would really screw up their developer program. I think as long as you run it in that mode, you’re clear. It’s just trying to run emulators in retail mode that’s the issue.
