Name a bigger scam than these

cope
i feel like if you buy one of these and have some semblance of a brain its about what you expect
yeah chink hardware sucks. too bad nobody else is making these retro handhelds. id pay proper money for a psvita with more capable hardware so i could run zdopm, N64 and dc. say what you will about sony but their portable devices have always been sexy as hell.
If the Analogue Pocket wasn't 250 fricking dollars it'd be pretty cool
maybe if it wasnt in the gameboy form factor and had an ordinary linux capable arm chip instead of that fpga stuff. and even then they're still a tiny conpan to esnure high quality control you really need to be huge as frick, no small startup will make a decice that wilöl actually be reliablle.
*zdoom
RP3+ has quite the long honeymoon period
Vitas are still in demand for emulating. I was going to get one but I didn't want to spend $200 for something I wasn't sure I'd use. There's nothing better at that size and quality sadly. If sony didn't make it the most utterly cucked electronic device ever created it probably would have taken over the world.
theyre honestly pretty shit for emulation. cant even run gba pokemon romhacks full speed. the PS2 and homebrew ports are where it shines.
>too bad nobody else is making these retro handhelds
I mean, who else can make emulation machines without getting in trouble with Sony or Nintendo?
sony and nintendo themselves, valve if you look at how often deck is advertised as an emulator machine
Anyone, emulation isn't illegal, shipping shit with roms is.
Gray area.
Not at all, no roms or bios, no case. See Analogue, american company.
You're wrong.
Shipping shit with emulators is also usually in breach of the license for the emulators, but I don't think anyone has actually done anything about that. Most of these chinkhelds do ship with SD cards full of ROMs, but theoretically they could stop doing that. At the end of the day, these are just computers intended to run Linux and/or Android.
Depends on what license the emulators use. Some licenses like BSD or MIT definitely permit commercial distribution.
Looks like a lot of them restrict commercial use: https://docs.libretro.com/development/licenses/
You could just ship with an optimized linux distro like Valve and let people do the rest.
Personally I'd say doing an Android handheld is probably the most accesible method
>You could just ship with an optimized linux distro
That's more or less what they do with these chinkhelds, except those which run Android. Typically it's better to ditch their SD card and Linux install though, and use something made by the community (like OnionOS for the Miyoo Mini, ArkOS for many of the Anbernic devices... etc.)
>say what you will about sony but their portable devices
Two PSPs, both pieces of shit inexplicaby died one year apart from the other, now I don't buy their crap.
Can't the Xperia Play do N64 emulation?
almost got baited into buying one of these
I bought an original Miyoo Mini when they first came out, and it's still doing just fine. The Chinese handhelds are definitely gonna be a mixed bag, though, and I know the Miyoo shit is especially prone to screens failing.
Just get a tablet or use your phone.
>Samsung Tab S8
>SNES, PS1, PS2 emulator installed
>micro SD card filled with roms and ISOs
>Xboner S controller
Yep, it's game time.
not a handheld.
If you're not stupid you get an RP2S, an RP3+ or a Miyoo Mini Plus
Things feel like they're gonna last forever
They're all soggy chinkching dogshit.
>Miyoo Mini Plus
I knew it.
This thread was made either by tendies or Miyoo shills.
>NOOOOO YOU CAN'T HAVE A REAL HANDHELD ANYMORE YOU NEED TO BUY A SHITTY WESTOID 7" TABLET
I fricking hate you so much
>NOOOOO YOU NEED TO BUY USED NINTENDO BEYOND SOFTWARE THAT WAS ALREADY SHIT ON LAUNCH
lmaoing at your life
Good thing I bought Retroid Pocket 2S instead.
these things are garbage
use your phone, you can emulate more systems in better quality
don't wanna be disturbed by notifications? pick up an old phone which is still capable
hell, got an old psp or vita sitting around? mod it for the same experience as this at basically no cost if you already have one
Playing on a phone without physical buttons is extremely uncomfortable. That's a thing only alphies do because they don't know any better.
I mean yeah, anything is shittier than playing on PSP but if I want to play games portably it's cause I can't be at my PC all day. Sometimes when I have to spend an hour or two travelling I want a game console to play
yall should have bought Soulja Boy's emulator, now we're stuck with this chinkshit garbage
designed to last exactly as long as the honeymoon period
and motherboards failing left and right now that units have been in the wild for 6-12 months
if you expect anything else from this garbage and bought one you deserve to and should have your money stolen
anyone with half a brain just mods a 3ds
3ds and vita are too weak to run half the shit the chingchong portables do. they were okay 10 years ago but their time has passed.
if whatever you want to play doesn't run on a vita you just get a Steam Deck or the asus shit
why on earth would you want to play on a device that somehow has worse ergonomics than a happy meal handheld and is designed to break within a year
>Honeymoon period
Great, a new zoomer buzzword that I have to see you morons spam for God only knows how long.
Wonderful.
real men use these
>NA buttons
soulless
Not my problem. Been going strong for a little less than year.
Love this lil nig
ni hao ching chong
ni hao nig gur
My Anbernic RG351P still works after 2 years
I like handhelds.
Source: your ass
I'm not aware of such reports, therefore they do not exist.
my miyoo mini+ is great. cope and seethe moron
These type of devices are so niche, I'm surprised they even turn a profit tbh.
the hardware is very cheap
The screens are cheap, the garbage chips on them even more so.
Literally bought one of this because it was cheaper than an IPS mode for my GBA.

I've had my Miyoo Mini+ since launch week and it is still going strong. No changes in performance or battery life. Looks good as new too but I keep it in an old HDD case.
I too can lie on the internet.
What would be the benefit of lying about a 55 dollar chinkheld?
>first cutscene of the game
so you just never use the thing
>goalpost moving
That's how you know when someone's bulletpoint gun is out ot ammo.
NTA, but that's quite pathetic.
In dual OS devices people always make the mistake of using the Linux side OS but I've found my performance was much better on the Android side and the customization you can do with frontends is way ahead of anything on Linux OSes.
homie, literally everyone said that specific piece of shit falls apart, namely the screen issue.
People only bought it because of that coupon that lets you get it for like $30.
Chinkboys are great, but you have to be more selective over which ones you get and why.
I love my v90 as a damn good 2D emulation device, but I had to do a couple mods and replace that F---- tier memory card.
Just comes with the territory, chinkboys have zero quality control and most aren't designed to last very long because China literally doesn't care about e-waste or about customer feelings/wants/needs.
>homie, literally everyone said that specific piece of shit falls apart, namely the screen issue.
That's the Miyoo.
I have yet to see a single person complaining about the RG35XX screen falling off.
Shilling is against the rules.
Being ignorant should be too.
It's an easy fix for the screen since people can just hotglue it back in, but yes, it's the RG35XX.
No clue about the motherboard thing OP was talking about though.

I like the chinkboys because they're easy to tweak, easy to mod, easy to replace the firmware on, contain no important data, have long battery lives, have physical buttons, and are cheap enough that breaking them tends not to be a problem.
>Chinkboys are great, but yo
Why not just use phone with controller attachment
