Although every review or video that mentions it can run ps2 and gamecube. It can’t. Also aethersx2 has been abandoned and is closed source. Also android sucks.
But so far its a really nice ps1 portable device. Usually I’d use my vita but I’m always worried about damaging it and they’re not exactly in production so I wanted something more disposable with L2 and R2 buttons. Now i can play Abe’s Odyssey/Exodus on the train :D
YESSSSS IVE BEEN TALKING ABOUT THIS FOR WEEKS.
Got this, and a laptop with a 3080TI in it before I got sacked, and guess what has been sitting in a corner since?
Got a 512gb card in mine thats almost fully loaded up. Playing the ps2 Hot Pursuit game at the bar as I type this.
RETROID GANG RETROID GANG RETROID GANG
I’m actually considering selling my steam deck for something like it. Ultimately the fact the steam deck handles the wiiu well doesn’t make up for the fact that it’s bulky enough that I never want to take it on my commute. Although i guess i could spend more time reading instead of playing games…
I mean, so, the Retroid 3+ is much more capable than it looks, and only about 150 bucks (USD). From what i gather, there isn’t too much a difference between even a higher end emulation handheld and the Retroid (some games might benefit from higher end hardware, but unless you’re dead set on running something specific chances are most wouldn’t notice)
It’s bulky but so much more ergonomic than the Retroid or Switch. Literally haven’t touched my Switch since I got my Deck. I’ve pretty much only been emulating or playing GZdoom though, lol.
ayn Odin night be up your alley if it’s available where you live. More horsepower but still portable. Although nothing quite beats a hacked switch.
I’ve been plowing through my ps1 and megadrive backlog with it. Very pleasant little device with surprisingly really nice buttons and analogue sticks.
Hell yeah! I got too download crazy lately, and now I’m doing that thing where I’ll play 5 minutes of a game, save state, then try something else since i only had like 2 systems growing up.
Since you said ps1, you like Einhander?
I do the same and download hundreds of games just to look at a big library and play each one for a few minutes for maximum nostalgia.
I’ve not heard of Einhander but it looks like something I’d enjoy. Atm I’m playing through all the tomb raiders and just did all the ps1 armored cores.
What’s the best ps1 armored core?
Master of arena is my favourite and a really good followup to ac1. Project phantasma is just filler
my rp3+ showed up this weekend, fucker’s still hashing just the overkill NES rom pack I put on it Sunday night
Huh, weird! I’ve only had issues with the PSP emulator on it, and that was just due to some obscure controller setting I had accidently enabled. What exactly is it like…doing?
It’s scanning 3.4GB of NES ROMs in the retroid loader thingy. Shows it’s at 54% right now, I’m not really sure what it’s hashing but I believe it’s trying to find box art as well as just scan everything
How do you have 3.4gb of NES ROMs? There were 1400 NES games and the largest one was under a megabyte.
What can I say, I downloaded a 3.4GB NES ROM pack and it’s got way too many games in it, lots of duplicates.
all the actual nes games are like 20 meg overall if you got it of archive.org you have a lot of deleting to do
Ah gotcha. I assume it’s on WiFi? I got the roms loaded on mine after I did the initial setup, so each app just had to scan the library then. Didn’t have any issues with Dolphin or anything. With NES I’d imagine you’d be running through retroarch, which to my knowledge doesnt do box art or anything.
Also if I should just shut up please tell me, I’m not exactly
here
Yeah I’m not really sure what the heck it’s hashing. I should have found a smaller ROM pack without so many damn duplicates.
Curious, where did you get the rom pack from? Thinking about it more, good chance there might be some broken files
archive.org
Huh. Yeah, I’d say maybe it’s the files more than anything, but again, I don’t know shit about fuck
