I ordered a 351p yesterday :toot: I was tempted by the new powkiddy, but there aren’t really any reviews yet and the 351p looks like it will suit my purposes just fine.

I have already run into an issue. I’m not very tech savvy myself, just following guides online. I’m trying to switch everything over to a new sd card, but when I plug my sd card into my computer it says the disk needs to be reformatted? I saw that retro game corps has a video about this issue, but my computer isn’t even showing any partitions, just an empty drive. Any ideas?

I keep almost pulling the trigger on the 280M at $65 USD. Very tempting.
I saw it comes in a cute gradient color and that sealed the deal for me! Can’t wait to compare it to my 351p.

I’ve got a RG351P being shipped across the pacific, but I do have a question for those with hands on experience. I’ve got a buddy that would adore having something like this but he’s not particularly tech savvy and doesn’t even have a laptop or computer in his house. Is it a lost cause trying to get one of these for him? Could I potentially just toss a no intro collection on there and call it a day?

I’ve just been using mine out of the box with no issues thus far, I’m not very tech savvy either. I just hoping the stock sd card doesn’t crap out on me.

PSA for anyone as dense as me, you can indeed run homebrew on a new 3ds xl, you just have to remove the back of the unit to access the micro sd card!

Also there’s always something new around the corner but Powkiddy have just started teasing an “RGB10 Max 2”. No release date or specs but it seems to have a more ergonomic design with slight controller-grip-style shaping and stacked shoulder buttons. The discords suspect it’ll still have the same internals but might knock the price of the previous model down too..

Oh jeez! It is both cool and annoying how often a newer device comes out that I want. I think my ultimate handheld would be something that could play ps2 games. Once that comes out maybe I can stop buying these things…

Hmm I think a 351p or similar would make a really bitchin Christmas gift for my nephew, but he’s 10 and sucks at following instructions, just the type of kid that insists that he already knows everything. Maybe in a few more years?

It’s pretty easy to set up. I think they may even come set up already if you don’t care for the custom firmwares and whatnot. You could, in theory, just set up the SD card for him and give it to him with the card already in there.

Oh you’re totally right, I think I would just need to show him how to exit games and shut it off properly. :)
In other news I successfully got my 3ds xl set up the way I want with homebrew and I’m feeling very accomplished and happy to give that device a lot more use.

I know there was a hacking/homebrew thread around here a while back, is that still around? I was wondering if it's still feasible to hack my 3DS and if that might be a cheaper alternative.

I am not tech savvy at all but I followed along with this guide: https://youtu.be/Szc58v2I-DA and had no problems. It’s super helpful because he has links to everything you need too.

This is a very difficult hobby because every time I think I decide on what I want to get next, something else comes out! I really need to just not buy anything for like a year, there are still so many upcoming releases.
On another note, does anyone have any idea if the retroid pocket funtastic colors will be restocked? They’re so cute!

I’ve been ignoring the Ayn Odin Pro because I got it confused with the Aya Neo Pro and assumed everyone was talking about a 1000$+ emulation device.

Now looking more into it and seeing it comes in a clear purple… hmmm…

Honestly it was the fact that it comes in clear purple that sealed the deal for me. I went ahead and ordered one :)

Every video makes me angrier that I didn't back the campaign. I blame all of the naysayers itt, because I don't want to admit my own mistakes

Maybe somebody will try porting it to the RP2+ one day so I can play Oblivion at 12 fps and tell myself it's just as good

It’s not too late to order, I think you can place an order until the feb 8th.

When are they supposed to ship? The campaign says January 22.

My understanding is pro units were shipped already to the first 200 backers, the rest of us will have to wait until after Chinese New Year celebrations are over.

Pretty significant delays with Ayn Odin shipping :( I think I’m going to cancel my order. I already have a 351p and a new 3ds so I don’t necessarily need one, I just thought it was a neat idea. Plus I’m moving to another state soon and it definitely wouldn’t get to me in time.

Hey friends, can anyone recommend a guide for how to map ps4 controller buttons for the dolphin emulator? I can’t seem to get it right.
Edit: still not sure where I went wrong with dolphin mmjr, but I switched to regular dolphin and everything works fine.

Another thing to maybe consider if you are willing to spend that much is a tablet. Granted, it’s not exactly a handheld but may be worth the money. I got a galaxy tab 8+ and so far I’ve only tried GameCube and ps2 games but it has been a lot of fun.

The transparent purple shell in the video looks a lot lighter than I expected. I kind of don’t like it as much? Kind of a moot point since I canceled my order. I still want an Odin at some point, just waiting for them to catch up on product I guess. I’m going to be moving several times and can’t really wait 4+ months for something to arrive.
