Even if it doesn't get jailbroken, supply is so limited that you'll probably be able to flip it for more than you paid

mystes posted:I feel like the ram probably isn't that important for this kind of device but how much better is the cpu in the pro? looks like the CPU cores aren't all that different, but the GPU is a generational step up the pro has four big CPU cores instead of two but emulation is usually single threaded so repiv fucked around with this message at 15:53 on Dec 11, 2023 |

maybe take that spec sheet with a grain of salt anyway since there's at least one error (the pro version has the big cores listed twice)

stephenthinkpad posted:Lets hope Anbernic quickly offers their more ergonomic version of SP. there's not that many high performance SOCs readily available to these small companies so they'll tend to land on similar specs even if they don't know what each other are doing the only other likely choice besides the dimensity chips is the RK3588, but that hasn't shown up in any handhelds yet. when it does it'll be the new king for linux enjoyers.

odd that the regular gets android 11 and the pro gets android 13, when going by wikipedia the D900 launched slightly more recently than the D1100 might still be mediateks fault though

nintendo let you buy old games outright on the 3DS/Wii/WiiU but on the switch it's the netflix model where you get access to a library (which doesn't cover everything that was available on the 3DS/Wii/WiiU) for as long as you have an active NSO subscription

JazzFlight posted:I wonder how shared shaders are going to work with that. Like, is Valve going to have a separate archive of shaders for each officially supported SteamOS device? Right now it was a little easier since they only really had one device to target. if this system uses RDNA2 like the steam deck then they might be able to get away with using the same shader cache, the compiled shaders aren't necessarily specific to the exact chip

njsykora posted:Probably licensing issues with Rockchip based on history, also other X86 APUs becoming increasingly popular. Also there's probably some mentality of why would we make a Linux device now when the Steam Deck exists. well the steam deck is big, relatively expensive and not available in many countries notably including china it's probably not worth competing with it directly but there's room to work around it

more generally you want something that runs android, things like the miyoo which run ad hoc linux distros don't have good (or any) streaming clients RG353V was also my thought, vertical android isn't a common combination

you'll find that a lot of modern games don't support 4:3 properly, the last time developers gave any thought to that ratio was in the early days of the PS3/360 generation since those systems could technically still drive an old SDTV

stephenthinkpad posted:I just don't think big handhelds are handheld. Yes Nintendo should have made a thing smaller than the Switch Lite. the problem is they couldn't make an actual switch much smaller than the switch lite, so going any smaller would mean returning to a split market where handheld games are their own thing, and i dunno how much appetite there is for that anymore

it's a genuine BOM reduction, the regular switches have a dedicated chip on the main board which muxes the tegras separate usb data and video interfaces into a single usb stream, and the lite doesn't have that component they could have made it dockable, but it would have cost them more, and having to support the higher docked clock speeds might have also complicated cooling etc repiv fucked around with this message at 03:28 on Feb 4, 2024 |

the vendors of the more powerful SOCs usually only provide android drivers, so it's out of the hands of the device manufacturers rockchip are the main exception, the RK3588S is fairly powerful and can run android or linux, but it has yet to appear in any handhelds e;fb

sometimes it depends on the cable, some badly designed devices will C-to-C charge through a dumb (3A) cable but not through an e-marked (5A) cable

probably not, the switch doesn't output standard HDMI over it's USB port it actually puts out displayport and the dock converts it to HDMI for reasons, and that'll be what the dongle that comes with the ND+ is also doing
