I have 2 retro handhelds, the Ambernic RG351V (in the faux-woodgrain, obviously), and a Miyoo Mini+. Most of the time I prefer the Miyoo Mini, because it's smaller and more portable. However, I think the aftermarket OS options for the 351V are more mature.

Currently I've been working my way through Earthbound. I've never played it before and I can see why people like it so much. It has such character!

Those RG351 (and "clones" of it, stolen schematics/resellers?) are pretty sick!

My powkiddy v90 was a godsend those dead Sunday nights. I played mostly Tetris games, though I finished some RPGs on it. Not that strong, especially with a couple of SNES (Mario kart being one) running more than sluggish. I can't complain, it's a nice device for real cheap

I recently got a retroid flip and plays pretty much everything before the PS2 and GameCube. Only had it a few days but I absolutely love the clamshell design. Makes it feel a lot more like a console instead of android phone with a controller attached to it.

Right now I'm bouncing around between stuff but I'm doing a Mother 3 replay, Pokémon Unbound, and Breath of Fire 4.

I was super curiois about the flip. I remember loving my DSi back in the day, for how it was protected when not using it.

Any issues so far?

[–] mint@beehaw.org 1 points 2 years ago

so far i really like it! I got the grip with it since I have mr. krabs voice big, meaty claws, but it's fantastic after some set-up, especially throwing the daijisho frontend on top. my favorite part is probably the battery. i played mother 3 for like 3 hours and it went from 100% to 90. gonna be great for my long flight

Heck yea, I am a retro enthusiast. I currently have a PiBoy DMG running emulation staion and a customized version of Raspberry Pi OS w/ joycon and buttons mapped to a mouse emulation - its a nice form factor for having a portable Linux-box in the field... I still get looks when I whip out a 'gameboy' to do some actual work. :P

I stick to mostly 8bit and 16bit platforms, so the Pi 4 is more than enough for me...

I also have a few retro computer setups; of course, a C=128 for all my Commodore needs - an Apple g4 basketball w/ MacOS 9 - an antique Philco Predicta television that runs both some Python script for random vintage videos, and can serve up PONG - I retrofitted an old PONG controller w/ a Pi Pico so it feels right.

I have a couple other machines that bring me back to the 486 MS-DOS days. :P

Nice to know theres other folks that are into this hobby - cheers!

I have a 2DS XL with custom firmware, since emulation isn't perfect yet, and the console is infinitely portable.
I also have a hacked Vita, but that doesn't get much use anymore since it was just a Persona 3 Portable and 4 Golden machine, and that's now on PC. It's still sometimes handy to play niche games that were never ported to other platforms.

I tried playing NES ROMs on my old Nintendo DSi XL but the emulator runs the games a little too fast. SNES roms run okay but the aspect ratio isn't quite right.

Surprisingly, my favourite emulator on this system is SCUMMVM. It's so much fun playing old point and click adventure games with the stylus.

[–] nodiet@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

I used to own a BC PS3, a PS5, a Wii U, a switch and a new 2ds xl to give me access to all PlayStation and Nintendo games (running CFW on all devices except the PS5). However, I have slowly shifted to owning just a powerful PC and my 2DS. The only games I don't get a perfect experience with are Wii U games because there is no great way to emulate the Wii U gamepad. And of course I can't play PS4 and PS5 exclusives anymore, but I am just banking on Sony eventually releasing all the interesting titles on PC.

I've been playing on my Anbernic RG351P for a while now. I recently started playing Super Mario World on it for like the 100th time

[–] RedEagle@beehaw.org 2 points 2 years ago

I've been carrying my rg35xx everyday in my work bag. I've been slowly working my way through fire emblem.

I'm also working on making a game in gb studio with my partner! She's pretty excited as well as myself.

[–] shroobinator@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Love my little miyoo mini, I've been playing a lot of pokemon emerald rogue, perfect for pickup and play type of gameplay for when I'm riding public transit or when it's a little slow at work.

Currently putting together a bartop arcade for emulation. Planning to use one of the Sffpc lenovo's I have laying around running batocera. Using secondary hookups that I can pull out and hook up my steam deck as well. Mostly playing galaga.

Still one of my favorite games by far. I was planning to buy a bartop kit but decided to travel back home and spend some time with my Dad. I think it'll be a good weekend project for us to work on together.
