You might want to mention how long ago you followed that guide, if it's since the last 3DS firmware update there's no problem, but if it's before that you probably don't want to use a YouTube guide. The text guide I linked before is aggressively upkept, but some random YouTuber probably put up their guide 2+ years ago and then forgot about it, which could lead to a brick if you're trying to do something Nintendo has patched out since the guide went up. E: Okay, looking at it that video is from last month, so it's probably safe to follow.

The Deck definitely won't fit into anyone's pocket - my Switch barely fits into the pockets of my most spacious pants in its carrying case - but it should still fit in most laptop bags, even in the side/front pockets, I think.

I think the main 3DS emulator, Citra, is still in the "making sure games work" stage as opposed to the "optimization so people can actually run it" stage.

I dunno if I'd expect the Deck this year if you just reserved one recently. I reserved mine the day after they opened for reservations and I'm in the July-October bracket. "After Q3" just means sometime after October, so unless you actually have a Q4 estimate it could be literally any time after that.

I also think the US ad campaign didn't really help. Instead of "hey look at this quirky version of Americana" they decided to market the game with a bunch of fart noises and "THIS GAME STINKS". And like that probably won the hearts of some of the kids that were their target audience, but they're trying to get to the wallets of the parents, and that's not really the best way to sell a parent on your game.

I'd recommend the Pro 2, the D-pad is great on it. It's absolutely a great controller for both retro and modern games. It's also much more ergonomic than a SNES controller, which I realized after buying one of the official Nintendo Switch SNES controllers.

Seeing as people were talking about flashcarts earlier, is asking what the best one for DS currently is and where is the best place to buy one too  ? I have a DSi and TwilightMenu but I'm missing the save states from a good flashcart and of course TM has some compatibility issues. I of course will only play video games that I legally own and have dumped myself on this flashcart.

Steam Deck, 3DS, DSi, and PS Vita here, though I haven't used the Vita much recently. I mostly play different games on each, so save syncing isn't an issue for me.

I still have a GBA SP and I'd rather pick up a flashcart for that if I'm not going to play on like my Steam Deck or something. No real appeal to me personally.

It's only slightly less portable than a Switch imo, it's not gonna fit in your pocket but I bring it to work with me, and I could see someone bringing it on a train.

sethsez posted:The Steam Deck is too big in the same way the Miyoo Mini is too small. It works for plenty of people, it doesn't work for others (at least in some circumstances), but it's undeniably at an extreme and it's not hard to envision why there's a sizeable audience for something closer to a normal handheld size for a variety of reasons.

Yeah, the Vita isn't an emulation powerhouse but it's great for PSX and will do okay with anything less demanding.

coconono posted:Yeah you can get 2 hours of battery life running a good ps2 emulator on a gpd win 2. That’s at like $600+ which gets you into the cheap laptop and a gamepad price point. Steamdeck/Loki/etc at the $400 levels but you’re hamstrung by supplier side issues.
