So I pre-ordered the Arc as it's basically a Saturn pad and that's my dream! I've never used one of these before (I got the Linux only version), and I got one with an sd card. Is it as simple as dropping roms into the card that I think should already be set up? I really care about Saturn emulation (I'm sure Mega Drive is no problem), is there anything I need to know? Hints and tips? I'm super excited to play Shining the Holy Ark on this thing handheld!

That sounds perfect, thanks! It's a shame it's not 100% Saturn perfection, but if I stick to less demanding games I'm hoping I'll be fine...

I've never had an Anbernic before. I'm going off the Retro Corps video. All I care about is Mega Drive (RetroArch?) and especially Saturn (stand-alone app?) emulation. Do I have to dick about with any settings for the Saturn or just run it as-is? Do I have to worry about PAL/NTSC roms? I've got the Linux-only version coming.

Just got my Arc S today and I can play Shining the Holy Ark on a Saturn controller with a screen. It's a dream come true!

It probably surprises no one here but the fact that I can plug my Arc aka a Sega Saturn controller with a screen in it into a TV then hook up controllers for 4 player Simpsons or Turtles is incredible and I love it

STONE COLD 64 posted:i just wish it was more powerful, it would have been an automatic purchase for me if it could actually play Saturn and Dreamcast games. Dreamcast is pointless without an analog stick, and it can play a lot of Saturn games just fine! People are also working on custom OSs to improve performance

In the manual there's a setting to change brightness, like hold F and something? Custom firmware is coming which will probably fix that too

I mean when you start approaching the 300 price line you absolutely might as well Deck it up instead

Just get a Saturn and mod it. Probably the same price, plus guaranteed to work flawlessly and look cool AF

frogbs posted:Does anyone else who has an Anbernic RG ARC-D or RG ARC-S been able to get images to work on the stock OS? No matter what I name them in the images folder it doesn't seem to show the games art in the game browser. I thought it had to be the name of the rom with -image appended, but that didn't do it. Skraper works, and custom firmware which has scraping built in has almost reached stable release. Join the Anbernic discord!

shyduck posted:Which CFW are you using? Its retroarch, I got it from Tinker Toys in the Retrohandhelds DC. Do you want a link? Also, is there a Legion Go/PC handheld thread anywhere here?
