I recently bough a (retro) handheld console

[grimlockcel]

It is mainly novelty and can run up to ps2, 3ds, ds, wii etc.

I recently beat super mario bros .wii on it and I am now playing Simpsons Hit & Run

 

[Hohenstaufen]

how much was it?

 

[grimlockcel]

how much was it?

$180 I know I can emulate on my computer but I like the handheld factor of this it brings me joy and nostalgia when I had a DS.

Also its convenient to play on it because of the pick up and play factor.

 

[Todd Thundercock]

Can you add any roms on there?

 

[grimlockcel]

Can you add any roms on there?

yeah any rom

 

[ormolu]

how's the build quality on that? usually these handheld emulation bricks have shitty screens and speakers, or stiff uncomfortable buttons

 

[nazianime]

But muh emulation accuracy!!11! Muh bit perfect pixel mapping crt jerkoff

Crt experience cannot be had on an lcd screen

very high quality, in my time using it, 8 hour battery life easily, and the joysticks are magnetic meaning they will never get stick drift, the buttons arent uncomfortable as the handheld is quite big.

what are you even talking about

 

[Todd Thundercock]

yeah any rom

Nice.

With Hall effect becoming common and cheap now, it makes these handhelds more desirable. I kind of want one just for laying in bed and such.

They have ones that are like $35 that play tons of rom hacks, regular roms up to gameboy and ds, I got this one because I wanted to play ps2 and wii games tho, would recommend.

What some emulation jerkoff snobs complain about emulation accuracy. Frankly what is important that the games play with no stuttering or major artifacts then you can actually concentrate on enjoying the game.

Those are the extreme level that swear only CRT monitors are usable.

I thought of getting a handhold console that plays several console games on it, lol.

 

[Spooky_Heejin]

[CroatianManlet2]

[grimlockcel]

What do you do if the joysticks get stickdrift? How do you repair it? Are you just fucked and have to buy a new console all together?

They literally cant get stickdrift as they are magnetic, very noice

Why don't modern controllers do that then? Is it less precise or something?

Not bad seems that chinks understand what makes a good handheld unlike valvetroons (steam deck is too clunky) and even though it cant run modern games i feel like that is still far of for this form factor and trying to achieve it just makes it feel like shit.

I am not completely sure but if I had to guess its to cut costs and to keep people paying for new controllers

Yeah its very good, I have no real problems with it at all, technology is just really good now

Most likely. PS5 controllers barely last 4 months on me before getting stickdrift. Meanwhile my rock candy controller for my 360 that I abused the shit out of as a kid has lasted me over 10 years. I'll make sure to buy magnetic controllers from third parties for now on. You just saved me lots of money, thank you.

Which one is this called again?

Because the one I've ordered can supposedly play up to 60,000+

Only some 3ds games like Pokemon Omega Ruby and stuff.

Troons play games unfortunately, and they also play cod, there's nothing we can do about it tho

I want a ps.vita but shipping from Japan is expensive af, can't find it locally in good condition either

I was trying to look for the list of games of the RG406V.

However, it seems nice that it can play up to the 3DS, and I wonder if it can play up to switch as well. I think some games are still getting released for the 3DS? I'm not entirely sure.

Oh wait, the 3DS stopped in 2023. I'm such a boomer.

It can play switch games but you have to optimize them, and only some games still insane it can play some of them though.

Nice, nice.

I maybe pushing the boundaries, what about Nintendo Switch 2 games?

I was also looking for a game list the RG406V can play, but can't seem to find it.

No, if you have even more money I would recommend getthing the RG 477 V, It is capable of running more switch games at better performance etc
