I got my RG351P this weekend, though it's my first "decent" one of these handhelds so I don't have much to compare against (I have a PowKiddy V90 but that was cheap enough to think of as a toy). The build quality is really great, if it didn't have the Anbernic logo below the screen you could easily believe it to be a first-party Nintendo device. GBA games look predictably amazing, with the screen resolution/aspect ratio being perfect for it. Genesis and SNES era consoles look good with the RGA scaling, but there's the slight lack of perfect sharpness you'd get with integer scaling. PSX runs well for the games I've played, N64 and Dreamcast are really hit and miss in some unexpected ways. E.g. Pilotwings 64, all the menus are stuttery but the gameplay is fine. It seems like a hive of activity right now with multiple custom OS images in development, a bit hard to keep track of. Spending more time setting the thing up than playing with it right now. Overall I'm really happy with it, would just like to get past the OCD curation stage and onto playing games.

Lead out in cuffs posted:One thing: Amazon didn't have the version with the included wifi dongle. I didn't want to wait two months (and pay customs) for the AliExpress version. What are the benefits to having wifi on this, and is there a list of compatible cards somewhere? You're not missing out on much honestly:
Mine similarly came without one, but I already had a USB-C adapter for my laptop so I grabbed a wifi dongle from Amazon for the sake of £5. Previously I'd been thinking about modding the wifi internally but it's really not worth the effort to me. This is the one I bought, or there's a list of compatible devices here - mine isn't on it but I'd seen enough people mention that it's supported. Also the reason it doesn't have internal wifi (beyond the first batch) is that the speaker wiring isn't insulated, so the speaker crackles quietly whenever the wifi is busy. It's nowhere near as grating as I'd imagined but is noticeable, so being able to unplug the dongle when I don't need it is ideal really.

Meridian posted:Appreciate the input. I think I will primarily be playing SNES/GBA games, but there are a lot of PSX titles I want to go back and play, so the PSX performance is probably the deciding factor. I’m surprised by the number of RP2 owners who’ve replied to you - not that I have any experience of it but I had the impression it was more niche than the Anbernic devices. I only have a 351P so that’s all I can comment on, but:
I don’t have experience with the 350M, but have heard that the PSX experience isn’t as clear-cut as it is on the 351. On the other hand the aspect ratio is better suited for SNES. But at this point it seems dated and all the dev effort seems to be going into the 351 series. If you’re between the RG350M and RG351P with GBA and PSX in your priorities, I’d definitely go for the 351. There’s the brand new RG351M too, but the only changes are a metal (so heavier) case and built-in WiFi that apparently works this time.

Walla posted:So this may be a stupid question, but is there a reason to get one of these if you already have a soft-modded 3DS and/or PSP? I mean, is there something special these devices can do that the others can't? For me one of the differences is that these boot straight into a frontend designed for emulation, whereas the RetroArch UX on the 3DS (can't speak for PSP) is poor to say the least. Depends how much that matters to you. Also varies handheld to handheld but the screen resolution is generally higher and/or a better aspect ratio for scaling. On the flip side, a 3DS will be far better at playing DS/3DS games natively in addition to the emulated games if that's something you're after. Similar for PSP - less so on the obvious touchscreen/two displays difference, but it's the upper limit of what these are capable of emulating these days. On my RG351P some PSP games play fine and others are far too laggy.

The_White_Crane posted:Separate question, how's the DS emulation? I realise it's always gonna suffer from only having one screen, but what's performance like? I'm mostly interested in the Pokemon games, does anyone have any experience of those? You can flip between screens with the shoulder buttons, or have both side-by-side (severely shrunk). The right stick moves a virtual stylus around to use the touchscreen - it's passable for minimal input but definitely wouldn't want to use it for touch-heavy games. Luckily Pokemon is completely playable (at least at the start, I haven't got far) without using the touchscreen, you just have to toggle which screen is displayed when you open the menu. Performance is ok - not quite the same as a native DS but playable, especially for an RPG. flavor.flv posted:Give the powkiddy v90 a look. Not quite as powerful as the 351 or even the 350, but the form factor is, well, a big factor It's also (surprisingly) a lot quicker to just pick up and get into a game. I have the RG351P (running 351elec) and the V90 and just did a side-by-side comparison.
The 351P feels a world more premium compared to the V90's cheap plastic, the UI is far nicer, has far more options/features, and it can emulate a lot more systems. But the V90 has the right screen resolution for home consoles (as in Weedle's post above) - I've found myself starting to play some games on that in preference to the "better" 351P. SNES is pushing the top end of what it can handle though - there are definitely some games (e.g. Yoshi's Island) that are unplayable on it.

Maybe I should set up a recent arkOS image again to compare..

MarcusSA posted:RG351v impressions Is there any hint of how far off the next processor generation is, rather than mostly being based on the 3326? I've got a 351p but I'm getting more and more tempted to pick up a 350m for home console games (fell down the rabbit hole of reading the pixel scaling discussion in the retro thread yesterday). While this screen looks great I'm not really a fan of the vertical layout - something more like the 350m but with a bit more power would be ideal. There are a few eBay listings for (new) 350m's for £53 ($74), which seems a bit of a bargain but is only in rose gold..

CFox posted:Is there an issue with the load times on 351Elec? I saw a few complaints about that online but didn’t know how big a deal it was. I can’t say for the 351v as I don’t have one, but there definitely is a delay on the 351p. It’s a trade-off with having all the settings exposed in EmulationStation rather than having to set them in RetroArch - loading and passing all those settings over to RetroArch when a game loads is the problem. At the time I compared it, loading Earthbound (SNES) took 5 seconds on arkOS and 17 seconds on 351elec. I started off running arkOS, switched to 351elec and really liked it overall, but gradually over time the loading delays bugged me enough that I went back to arkOS. Plus at that time (about 6 weeks ago) arkOS got retrorun for a Dreamcast perf boost, I’m not sure if 351elec ever inherited that..

CFox posted:Thanks. That makes sense but it’s a shame because 15+ seconds to load an SNES game isn’t something want to deal with either. Does ArkOS have good default settings for the games/cores in retro arch or am I going to need to spend some time researching and tweaking at first? Not a big deal either way but my 351v should arrive next week and it’d be nice to be prepared, get it all setup, and get down to playing some games. I guess it depends on your definition of "good" and how picky you are. 351elec's are definitely ideal defaults on the 351p, from memory there are things on arkOS like stretching NES to fill the screen horizontally rather than maintain aspect ratio. It's not much of a stretch, and once it's set up per-system it sticks forever, but it's an extra chore to set up. Also there's a good chance these defaults would all be different on the build for the 351v anyway as it has a different aspect ratio - it might be that arkOS's defaults are closer to ideal there anyway.

The 351v doesn't appeal at all because of the form factor, but I'd love a 350m with rk3326 guts. Having the two of them covers all bases but syncing saves between them is a PITA.

Boxman posted:I'm thinking of taking this plunge and considering the 351 series, mostly because I'm looking for a well supported, relatively easy experience, and it looks like 351Elec has me covered for that. I don't know for sure I want that right analog stick but it feels like ti would be a bummer to want to play some Playstation 1 game where it's needed, so the v is out. All that logic seem right? There are very few PSX games that need the right stick (Ape Escape might be it?), so the bigger factor is what systems you'd primarily play and how much you prefer crisp pixels vs scaling. The P has the perfect ratio for GBA, but the V is better for NES/SNES/Genesis/etc. The other factor is that I like using the right stick for N64 C buttons - without that, the V simply doesn't have enough buttons to cover the N64 controller. But then N64 games are very hit and miss on the 351 devices anyway. Boxman posted:Past that, I guess I have to settle on the 351m vs p? It sounds like the build quality on the plastic version is well within the range of fine, so my question is - do people find the wifi connectivity of the 351m particularly useful? Even factoring in a USB adapter so I can use a wifi dongle for intermittent updates, it looks like a ~$30 price difference. Not nothing. I have the 350M and 351P so while not the same device, I can compare the build quality. The M definitely feels more premium and there's something "nicer" about pressing the buttons and hitting the metal case - I guess maybe like mechanical keyboard people like having a metal backplate? But also that added weight makes it feel less pocketable. The only thing I feel missing about not having always-on wifi is that I can't really use RetroAchievements. I only plug in the dongle when I need to transfer games/scrape media. The V is a middle-ground here price wise and has wifi.

I'm tempted to swap back to 351Elec from arkOS; I updated my test SD card to the latest beta last night and the ROM load times seem to be on a par with arkOS now, where previously they were about 10 seconds slower. And there are quite a few UI improvements over arkOS, like quick jumping to a manufacturer (e.g Nintendo) when on the systems list, and manuals support. There are just a few ports I really appreciate on arkOS that (AFAIK) aren't yet available on 351Elec: Sonic 1/2/CD, Shovel Knight, Spelunky..

You also might need to use a script to uh..actually have an exit hotkey. I might actually work on that tomorrow and get them nice and packaged. I should look at SK and Spelunky also while I'm at it. Oh nice, thanks for the tip! I already tried moving the binaries from my arkOS card and patching the paths, but when I hit the library error I figured there might be a chain of other missing dependencies and gave up. I'll give that another try.

zzMisc posted:Maybe it's just me because I know how to, like, sync things. Ok, I’ll bite. How do you sync your saves around? I’ve tried writing my own rsync scripts to sync saves from my RG350M and RG351P to my laptop, using that as the central point. But given the emulator differences I have to rename the files from “.srm” to “.sav” in some cases, and one of the target filesystems/rsync versions doesn’t support the times argument so everything ends up synced backwards and forwards stomping all over the “real” modified times. And even this way I have to sync one of my devices to my laptop and then the other in sequence. Throwing in a “TV” device would complicate it even further. I’m sure it’s possible, but it’s definitely a lot easier and more seamless to just have a single device with a HDMI port and plug it in when you want to play on a bigger screen. Just no device has (yet) hit all the feature sweet spots for that

Does anyone have any first-hand experience of both the RG351P/M and the RGB10 Max? At the moment I've got an RG351P and an RG350M (and a cheap V90 for camping trips etc, but let's leave that out of this). I like the frontend/system compatibility of the 351 but often end up playing home console games (SNES etc) on the 350M for the better pixel scaling, and then syncing save games between both those and my laptop in a convoluted triangle. I thought having the HDMI out on the 350M would be better than the buggy reality has turned out, so I've ended up never using that feature. Now I keep ogling the RGB10 Max, where the screen should be flexible to handle all systems with good scaling on one device, albeit with black bars in a lot of cases. I know the sensible thing to do would be to wait for the RG552 which sounds like it'll have a similar screen and better internals, but, well... (I'm not really interested in waiting for the SteamDeck given the size/cost.) I've done enough research to know the benefits/flaws of the device, so I'm looking more for the experience of normal users (rather than Youtubers) who've owned multiple. Does the RGB10 Max end up replacing the 351P in day-to-day use? Or are there situations where the 351 is still preferable, and I'd just end up with yet another device to handle savestate syncing?

I meant to say “OpenDingux”, not ODroid. It’s not based on Android, just some custom Linux OS. The OpenDingux “beta” firmware is the same base OS as the official firmware, just with newer kernel drivers that give slightly improved performance - the official firmware hasn’t been updated in years whereas there’s active development on ODBeta. I wouldn’t really call it beta stability wise, but it does lose some features (hot plug HDMI) and gain others (sleep mode). Adam is a new preconfigured image to flash for many of the OpenDingux devices, wrapping up ODBeta, SimpleMenu and RetroArch to make things far more flash-and-play than installing everything yourself manually. But fundamentally it’s the same software.

Chumbawumba4ever97 posted:Holy poo poo, there's finally sleep mode? Why doesn't Rogue have that feature? The easiest way is installing the latest version of the Adam image (RetroGameCorps guide), or if you want to install everything manually rather than the prebuilt image you can use the latest OpenDingux Beta build from here. In either case you'll end up with basically the same build, Adam just bundles in SimpleMenu, RetroArch and the latest emulators to save you the manual setup. v1.1 of Adam is using the beta build from the 25th August (so pretty much the bleeding edge), whereas there are inevitably a few revisions since then on the true nightly beta releases. Then it's Power + Y (hold power, tap Y, not the other way around) to enter sleep mode, and power to wake up again.

They released a hands-on video of it today that hasn't been posted in this thread. It's a shame that it doesn't have built-in wifi, making it yet another model with some flaw.

I agree on your last sentence completely, it does feel like the best/most premium of the RK3326 devices. I think the trouble is most people passing judgement on it have already got a similar device (myself included, doubly so) and it’s not worth the cost to sidegrade. If I was entering the market now it’s absolutely the model I’d go for.

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..

Rolo posted:I still don’t get why you’d buy a widescreen RK3326. To me the draw always seemed to be that it accommodates cleanly scaling the various aspect ratios better. With 480 vertical but increased width compared to 4:3 devices, you can do integer scaling on the home consoles and GBA/PSP. Though because of this every platform will have some wasted border space. I haven’t actually got any of these though, so it’s just my thoughts. I was close to buying an RGB10 Max and then the 2 was announced, and now that’s starting to ship the RP2+ has come out of nowhere and looks decent for the price.

I’m kinda tempted to try to sell my 350M while it still has some value and pick up a RP2+ instead. I have a 351P as my “main” device so the M ends up filling the “sharper pixels but less powerful” niche, so I end up rarely using it. The RP2+ has the same sharpness but looks like it would actually cover more systems and at a decent price point. The other upcoming devices seem to be jumping up the price to the point where I can’t really justify them as a hobby.

Is it definitely not creating the games partition, or the partition’s just not showing up when you put the card in a computer? On Windows sometimes the partition’s there but it doesn’t map it to a drive letter, so doesn’t show up in Explorer. If that’s the case you can assign a letter to the drive through Disk Management.

beer gas canister posted:Appreciate the thorough recommendations all! I'll probably go for the 351p for the ergonomics and the 3:2 screen. The 351v is pretty cool, and the shoulder button solution is drat clever, but the 351p seems like it's probably more comfortable in the hands. Does the wifi enabled version make updating significantly easier or something? I can't seem myself using it for streaming or browsing. The ergonomics of the 351p are great and GBA looks perfect on it, just be aware that you won’t be able to get sharp pixels on any home consoles (SNES, Genesis, etc). Still perfectly playable, just depends on your personal level of OCD. A 4:3 screen like in the 350m, 351v or 351mp is a better all-rounder (and actually the older 350m has better scaling methods to fit GBA to that screen than either of the newer ones), but the 351p is definitely more pocketable. As mentioned the Wifi is basically for scraping and retro achievements - there’s no browser available on these devices. You can also use it for copying files to/from the device but it’s better for small things (save files, configs, etc) rather than large ROMs. I’ve found plugging a dongle in whenever I need to perfectly serviceable. My personal path: I got a (cheap) V90 as a gateway drug, then a 351p, then 350m chasing sharp pixels, and recently a 552. The 552 screen is a perfect all-rounder but more expensive and different size category. Now I have that I’ll be selling the 350m. Froist fucked around with this message at 05:58 on Jan 14, 2022 |

This is a real long shot, but I don't suppose anyone has a copy of the last build of JELOS for the 552? It's an alternate firmware by the original author of 351elec. I was literally planning to install it tonight but went to the shops and when I came back there'd been some Discord drama and he'd taken the project offline.

Adam is just a nicely configured OpenDingux install set to boot straight into SimpleMenu, it’s not a drastically different OS.

Annath posted:Questions re: RG552: Ports are standalone games, usually Linux versions of Steam/GoG games with some extra compatibility changes to make them work on these handhelds. Some of them are freeware and will work from a clean install, whereas others might install the compatibility files but need you to grab your data files from a version purchased on Steam. If you're on 351elec the easiest way to install them is downloading Portmaster.zip, unzipping it to that "Ports" folder and then running it on the device. Things aren't still fully patched up for the 552; some work out of the box, some need tweaks for controls and some need tweaks for the screen. And some don't work at all yet. Highlights for me are the native port of Mario 64, Stardew Valley, Iconoclasts, Spelunky (classic), VVVVVV. I saw one of the devs tease a photo of Celeste running on it but I don't think that's been released yet. There's a list of games from Portmaster here but I don't know how complete that is - new ones are often popping up.

MarcusSA posted:The Odin seems cool and I have one on order but the steam deck for like $80 more is the better buy no question about it. It’s just so much more powerful. I keep seeing people compare the Odin to the Deck on performance alone, ignoring the fact the Deck is nearly 3x the volume. That’s just based off the published dimensions, not sure how much the concave back would take away (in both cases), but it’s still a real chunkster. Feel like there’ll be a lot of memes when people get their hands on it and underestimated the size. I’m kinda regretting picking up a 552 having seen all these previews of the Odin now. It seems to improve on every shortcoming, and the 552 is kinda stuck in limbo right now - the best Linux CFW can’t share a ROMs card with Android and there’s no ETA on a better version of that. I knew it’d be down to community support anyway, just feels like by the time devs got their hands on it it was maybe more limited than people expected (As another comparison, the Deck is well over 5x the volume of the 552)

beep-beep car is go posted:The deck is also straight up massive. I get that you're supposed to be able to do a ton with it, but it's like "lol xbox heug" meme levels of large. These are both handheld gaming systems.

The Mini is really a different size class to the 351v, it’s way less than 1/3 of the overall size. And twice the resolution of the 280v. It’s a brilliant little device with the Onion custom firmware - it’s near instant to jump in and out of different games on different systems, far quicker than any other device I own (v90, 351p, 552). It’s become my main “pick up and play” device, while I only use the others (552 mainly) for things it can’t run.

Explosionface posted:What's the current state of SNES and PSX on the Miyoo mini? I know at least some SNES was rough early on, but there have been firmware and Onion updates since. The Mini is great with SNES and PSX as far as I’ve played, using the latest Onion beta. Yoshi’s Island runs fine (my usual SNES tester) - I don’t really know of any common PSX stress-test games but I’ve been playing THPS2 at 2x resolution and it’s fine for that. The Mini’s become my most played device, beating the 552 and 351p. It’s just so quick to get in/out/between different games, far quicker than the better spec Anbernic devices. I’d like to think I’ll use my Odin more whenever that arrives, but the Mini’s just so drat convenient.
