I'm looking for a handheld that can play SNES and PSX games. Would the RP2+ meet my needs? I have a hacked PSP and new 3DS XL so I'm not sure if I would be gaining functionality other than one system that does everything I want.

I'm looking at getting my first retro handheld. I'm aiming to play SNES and PSX games. Not interested in N64 or Dreamcast. I'm thinking about getting the RG351P. Is it worth upgrading to the RG351MP for the screen. I saw some comments that the metal case is heavy and fatiguing for long sessions.

Picked up a rg351v based on the comments about screen resolution. Excited to try it, thanks everyone.

If you want to play DS, jbone sells modded DS's for ~$35 with shipping. You can run DS games off a sd card now. That's the way to go to play DS games IMO.

Ridge Racer 2 for PSP. it was never released in the US but IMO it's better than the original.

My 351 won't load my pokemon save file. I saved, exited the game, and put it to sleep. I loaded up the game but it's not loading the save. I checked the micro sd card, there's a srm file for it. I copied the save and tried loading it in retro arch but it didn't load there either. Any suggestions?

madmatt112 posted:My RG351V on AmberELEC works just fine sleeping, waking, loading poo poo off the 2nd card, etc. etc., opening and closing games. I wonder what the hell is going on with some of your folks' systems. Yeah, up until this I haven't had any issues. Balloon Time Hooray! posted:One of the devs told me it was a hardware issue, it might be the SD card itself, who knows. I should try it with a different SD, this one is an older 128gb patriot I've had for years. I got this SD card from micro center when I bought the system in January.

Madmarker posted:Hmmm, that Retroid Pocket 2+ does seem really nice, and the Indigo does look really good. But the 3ds is also promising, thanks for the help, I think this gives me a good place to start rather than trying to digest all the retro handheld console videos on youtube aimlessly. I think I am leaning towards the Retroid Pocket 2+, but I may just keep an eye out for a cheap 3ds and pick one of those up at a later date if I find the DS functionality poor. If you're not interested in 3ds games, jbone has a thread in SA Mart where he resells modded DSi XLs. They're around $40 currently. He also sells 3DS's on request but they're quite a bit more. I'd avoid any R4 carts these days. There's so many fakes now.

Commander Keene posted:Just gonna point you over to this thread in SAMart where goon jbone sells refurbed PSPs and DSes for entirely reasonable prices. He currently has one DSi XL, which should come with Unlaunch already installed on it, which allows you to stick TwilightMenu++ on an SD card, and also a bunch of Lites and original model DSes. Bought a DSi XL from him myself, works like a dream. Just wanted to chime in to say TwilightMenu works for most games but I've run into some issues with anti piracy. You may need to patch them still. I use an R4 cart for a few games that I couldn't get running in TwilightMenu. They're still cheap like $5-$10, depending on which seller you buy from.

Wilkins Micawber posted:Keep in mind I'm still tweaking settings and will prob switch back to jelOS (if I put it on a fresh SD card, will it reformat my existing rom SD card, or can I hot swap cards between that and the default Anbernic software?) but it seems to work well over HDMI. (edit: the 353p I mean) Switching out the OS sd card shouldn't affect the rom SD card at all.

Does it have to be preloaded with games? There are some cheaper options if you're willing to do some work.

njsykora posted:Jelos will be getting updates, just you'll need to compile the code yourself because releasing binaries is too accomodating to the filthy casuals. Amberelec doesn't update often, usually a few times a year. The last major update was in June to add support for the RG552, since most retro handhelds are largely Android based now I'm wondering how much of a need there'll be for these kinds of custom firmwares as ongoing projects going forwards. Don't you guys have linux boxes to compile your own binaries?  In all seriousness, are there any devices besides the Retroid Pocket 2 that support lineageOS?

icantfindaname posted:Are there any of these devices with a nintendo ds/3ds form factor and dual screens? If you want to play DS/3DS games, there's a seller in SA Mart who picks up Japanese DS and 3DS and resells them. The 3DS is easy to hack and the DS's come with Twilight Menu. Easiest way to experience the DS/3DS library IMO.

Detective No. 27 posted:Looks like my Ambernic is arriving today or tomorrow. I tried setting up my microSD card last night with GarlicOS but hit a roadblock when it came to the step where you gotta make a partition bigger. Is there a Mac friendly program to do this? I found where to resize the partition on Disk Utility but it’s inconveniently grayed out. I found these instructions on the retro game corp setup guide: https://pastebin.com/YV1Va5JL

Zerot posted:The price increases for the Pi 5, on the 8GB model in particular, are inching them closer and closer to the sale prices of those mini PCs you can get on Amazon ($100-$150). I'm not sure how compelling this will be for people who want just an entertainment center emulation device. They're probably on par with them once you factor in case, power supply, and storage.

IG-88 posted: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? 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.

I have a RG351V. I'm considering picking up a handheld that's horizontal. I've mostly been playing games up to PS1 and GBA. I've mostly been playing romhacks. I'm not necessarily interested in Saturn or N64. PSP and DC would be nice but aren't required. What are my options? A 353P looks like a contender.

JazzFlight posted:I mean, for a lot less you could get the new one they just put out, the RG35XX H: I almost ordered the RG35XX H. No garlic OS turned me off from it. I'm trying to stick with under $100. I don't think I can justify spending over $100 because that money would probably be better spent on a Steam Deck. shyduck posted:The RG353PS is also an option. Same body as the P but there's no Android or touchscreen, just Linux. It can be had for under $100. drrockso20 posted:The Powkiddy RGB30 might also be a good choice even if it's more of a square in shape than the more standard rectangle most horizontal systems go for I'll look into both of these options, thanks!

Lamont posted:That store won't ship it to the UK either and all the other T8s I can find on AE are much more expensive If the Raspberry Pi is meeting your needs, stick with it. In the US, there's a lot of companies that offload their leased mini computers. These end up with resellers on ebay or sold from dell outlet directly. I've seen 8th or 9th gen Intel processors in mini PCs for under $200 from Dell outlet. The CPU and cooling should be far superior to that of a Raspberry Pi. coconono posted:I've seeing a lot of those system come loaded with spyware at the OS level. The same stuff they sell those preloaded batocera USB keys. And its loaded into the recovery images so you gotta burn down the entire disk. I'm worried they'll start loading crap bios images too but thankfully that's usually reserved for government level fuckery. Yeah, you have to be careful with these mini PCs. AceMagician was found to be including spyware on their machines: https://www.tomshardware.com/deskto...-first-shipment
