A user said it was probably drop and play. It would be great if it were because there are one too many steps for some of the home brew on my n3ds.

lol WELP I bricked my RP2. I somehow made the physical buttons not work on startup so I tried the reflashing tool and img recommended by Retroid, which crashed halfway through and now it’s black screen only.
That was quick

does the 351P handle PSX emulation any better than the 350M? Appreciate the help.
They are pretty similar, the 351p will perform better BUT the 350M is in the correct aspect ratio and has a better build quality.

I didn’t realize that Analogue system was so popular. It looks cool but cartridges? Pass.
One of the main cool things about the Analogue system is that it uses hardware level emulation instead of software based

I think I'm gonna return my RG351P. It works great, feels good to hold and does exactly what it's supposed to, but it just murders my eyes; I really underestimated how small the screen is. I've been spoiled by the Switch and huge phones. It doesn't help that most of the stuff I want to play is text-heavy. I may just have to wait for the Steam Deck.

Must be getting old or something

If my goal is just to literally plug something into my TV so I can play PSX Final Fantasy Tactics with a bluetooth xbox controller, and I want to spend as little time customizing/setting up as possible, what is my go-to here? Retroarch on a RPI with bluetooth dongle?

Not interested at all in a long term solution to maintain, just want to play one game and then never touch this solution again.
Probably a cheap android tv box

The analogue pocket looks so good to me. I wish I had a reason to get one just to look at it but my 351V is really all I need until something cheap breaks into GameCube or PS2.

I don't think you could get an analogue pocket even if you wanted one, unless you paid a lot of money to an ebay scalper

I kinda want to get a vita again. I traded mine for a new 3dsxl and my kid destroyed it. I replaced it but still.
I somewhat want a pocket retroid 2, or one of these 351 devices.
I have been going through the following phases:
Oh I need a DMG01 (bought like 3, re-shelling them)
Oh I need a gbc (bought 2, need to fix)
Oh I need to swap the plastic lens for glass on my gba
Oh I need to re-shell this ds lite (sitting in my project box)
So now I’m at the point of wondering if you have a ds lite and gba flash card / ds flash card… is there a reason beyond nostalgia to play any of the other devices?

Also i decided that I hate using my switch as a handheld due to the shape of the joy cons.
Get a RG351M

Analogue just announced that they’re opening up preorders again for the Pocket on Tuesday, with a $19 price hike. (Monday is when they’re supposed to start shipping out the first round of preorders, so, uh, we’ll see how that goes)

But most importantly it's not limited number, if you want one you can order one (probably the best way to deal with scalpers that we have?)

Somebody made a neat tool where you can choose a retro system and a bunch of the popular new handhelds and it’ll show you how big it’ll look on the screen with integer or non-integer scaling.

Sorry if this is a common request, but is there a generally agreed upon "best for $50" handheld? A friend wants one so his girl doesn't freak our on a flight, basically.

Ideally something that comes with a bunch of games and doesn't totally suck rear end, that's about it.

This one looks promising but seems to have poo poo reviews.

Sweet perfect. Is the q90 and stuff pretty much these same thing? If the GBA style clam isn't their jam that is.
The q90 is also great, it even has a bigger battery. It only has L and R shoulder buttons though as opposed to v90s L1 L2 and L1 R2 if that worries you/them.
