Retroid Pocket Mini

[simple sapphire]

You have over 3000 games

That's why

[copper meteor]

oh yeah ES doesn't have android app drawer 😦

[terse edge]

Good because I haven’t gotten it 💀

[copper meteor]

lol

[quasi rose]

Ah yes. Half my day with any handheld

[terse edge]

Why are there so many OLEDs

[quasi rose]

Screenscraper

[pseudo sail]

that's just what didn't scrape after last night

[copper meteor]

to be fair there aren't alot of Oled handhelds until recently

[pseudo sail]

it's closer to 5K

[simple sapphire]

THAT IS WHY IT'S TAKING FUCKING FOREVER LMFAO

[copper meteor]

Freaking Aya neo adds oleds to everything even on this

[pseudo sail]

having an account helps lol

[novel ruin]

thats because OLEDS are just coming onto the secondary markets

[terse edge]

I heard there will even be something called blue oled that won’t be prone to burn in

[copper meteor]

Ohhhhhh spicy

[copper meteor]

Makes me happy! I can't wait for more Oled handhelds in the future

[quasi rose]

Dynamic AMOLED is a upgrade to Super which adds HDR 10+, better contrast, color, and brightness compared to normal AMOLED and Super

[copper meteor]

Maybe even Ayn odin 3 or Ayn Odin Flip will have Oled

[carmine trellis]

My 405V had extremely bad light bleed that I had to sand the metal plate inside. That got rid of most of the bleed. Never buying Anbernic again. I own like 4 of their devices and all have had issues

[terse edge]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-patrick-star-noted-notes-gif-26231953

[pseudo sail]

mine's fine

[marsh prairie]

Oled

[quasi rose]

Reason ik this is because I have an S23 Ultra and that made that a big ass deal

[marsh prairie]

Is the fucking TRUTH

[terse edge]

I hope the Odin 3 mini will have it since 5“ is the biggest I want in an Android device

[pseudo sail]

but yeah RP mini will prolly replace my 405V too

[terse edge]

For bigger handhelds I’d go X86

[marsh prairie]

If you don’t like oled I can’t fuck wit u

[carmine trellis]

Lucky. My colours were all washed out when I got mine

[quasi rose]

OLED is a thing that exist

[thick iron]

I think this handheld is exciting in that we are soon approaching 4:3 endgame. Manufacterers will have to compete on build quality and other features.

[copper meteor]

Same! Would be great! also no bezels so that we can increase the inches in the oled screen slightly

[terse edge]

Iconic phone, especially in the eu since it dropped exynos and went back to snapdragon 🐐

[tired musk]

Are a lot of these guys CAPABLE of really good build quality? Not sure Anbernic has it in 'em ... they just want to push out as many cheap devices as they can. Retroid pretty much always has QC issues ... Ayn seems okay but they're on the more expensive side. Hmm...

[copper meteor]

anbernic

rg405m people have said it feels pretty good

[marsh prairie]

Retroid, after first batch, is really good tbh

Anbernic has a lot of solid ones

[terse edge]

That doesn’t help me with pre ordering

[tired musk]

RG405M: Screens fall out, shoulder buttons crap out (had to have a redesign)

[thick iron]

Well as 4:3 handhelds reach their emulation limit, the prices of the chipsets will go down, hopefully allowing more of the budget to go towards nicer build quality

[pseudo sail]

I mean don't get me wrong it's not oled or mini led levels of good but it's still not bad

[marsh prairie]

Enjoy your triggers. The spring sends his regards

[pseudo sail]

powkiddy

[terse edge]

I heard the newest 405m and 505 batches have failing emmcs

[quasi rose]

Retroid is good after the first run, Ayn is really good, just pricey. Anbernic is a massive coin flip, and Ayaneo is usually good hardware, but jank software initially

[deft hawk]

oof

[pseudo sail]

impeccable QC

[terse edge]

No way they don’t use thiccer triggers this time around

[quasi rose]

Cap

[copper meteor]

@marsh prairie what about aya neo? I've heard the build quality is good though most of the time people complain about the prices

[pseudo sail]

believe it

[terse edge]

Gamma mentioned it when people failed flashin gammaos onto it

[marsh prairie]

Feels fucking amazing

[deft hawk]

wait what kind of fail?

[tired musk]

Had an RG505 gifted to me ... screen cracked because (most likely) incorrect torque when assembled. So ... not completely onboard with Anbernic build quality.

[terse edge]

Failing to flash so probably bootloops

[copper meteor]

Oh yeah you owned a aya neo pocket air, I remember you saying it has the best switch sticks and the build quality feels amazing

[deft hawk]

yea but what kind

ive had fun with unisoc

and flashing

and have been able to get out of it bootlooping before

[terse edge]

I can’t tell exactly right of the back of my mind

Sry 😅

[deft hawk]

yea no prob

[terse edge]

Gamma might also have an unbricker

[deft hawk]

i just got reminded of flashing the RP2+ and the workarounds required on some units

[terse edge]

At least for the T820 devices he’s got one

[deft hawk]

because it could lead to a bootloop

[terse edge]

Maybe you could help out people in the 405 / 505 channels then ;))

[deft hawk]

im just gonna say it the unisoc flasher is complete ass but hey....

[tired musk]

Plot twist: Retroid Pocket Mini clone from Anbernic with an H700.

[thick iron]

I'd unironically love that

gimme that screen on a linux vertical please 🙂

[deft hawk]

honestly the pocket mini is giving me xu mini m vibes

lol

but like a larger version

[thick iron]

nah it looks like an rg cube more than anything...imo of course

[high pecan]

it's a 4:3 version of the aya neo pocket air

the resemblance is uncanny

[deft hawk]

honestly the only thing im happy about is someones using something other than the 640x480 3.5" screen that literally everything uses

[deft hawk]

nah its been so long since ive touched it and even longer since ive done any active rom dev let alone dealing with the headaches of current android rom dev

all i do these days is romhack.... more fun RE'ing games

lol

[terse edge]

Everyone that issues is being redirected to #1128080130242261094 anyways

[flat quiver]

It will be D1200 😉

[deft hawk]

like the last android version i built for was based on....

wow

cyanogenmod 11

lol

way before they changed to lineage

[twin bison]

When do we get a 37xxV with this screen

[terse edge]

T820 might be an option

If retroid doesn’t cheap out on components that should cost them cents

[twin bison]

I would be so hype

This would just be a dpad top cube with a 4:3 OLED and even comes in the grey and red famicom colourway lol

The ultimate fuck you anbernic

[deft hawk]

but @twin bison .... the taki flagship mister

[twin bison]

I’m 100% getting the flagship (which is not a handheld)

[terse edge]

6nm node chip would be nice

That thing is probably super efficient

[vernal nacelle]

So glad I passed on the cube!

[cobalt cloak]

Better in every way

I guess except for 1:1 stuff lmfao

[deft hawk]

id be more interested in this mini if it wasnt for me having a SP/RP3+/Odin2 lol

[twin bison]

For sure

I currently have zero android handhelds

Just an ally X and 35xxSP

[deft hawk]

ahh

im excited for the SP progress

the mainline support is coming along well

and ive been taking my SP more since the amount of time i have to play something during a break is just enough for a typical GBA game

[copper meteor]

same! that's why I'm hyped for my pocket evo to arrive

[terse edge]

When do they ship again?

[copper meteor]

Novemeber!

[terse edge]

So they are basically taking an interest free loan from you wtf

[copper meteor]

Yeah

[vernal nacelle]

Is the screen size confirmed yet?

[terse edge]

Man they gotta stop selling on indiegogo

[copper meteor]

https://x.com/retroid0fficial/status/1826628370777641271?s=46

Retroid Pocket Official (@Retroid0fficial) on X

Specs will be posted at a later date, but I can share the screen details now:

4:3
1280x960
3.7inch
OLED

Twitter · Aug 22, 2024, 2:31 PM

[vernal nacelle]

Woah that's really good!

[copper meteor]

Ye

[vernal nacelle]

Like 4:3 endgame levels of good

[copper meteor]

@vernal nacelle @pseudo sail @terse edge @marsh prairie oh yeah I tried to put the exact number and seems like this will what the screen will look like, Gameboy advance is gonna look good

https://shauninman.com/utils/screens/#src_screen:6,src_nn:0,src_crop:0,src_width:240,src_height:160,dst_screen:0,dst_width:1280,dst_height:960,dst_size:3.7

[terse edge]

I’ll might do integer scaling with a fancy bezel

[white shale]

I'm visual so here's a screenshot

[copper meteor]

oh whoops I should have just screenshotted it lol

[white shale]

6.7× though

[vernal nacelle]

I imagine integer over scale would be passable at such a high res

[terse edge]

Integer scaling doesn’t matter the sharper your display is right

[copper meteor]

oh WTF? the DS fills the entire screen

I didn't know the DS is 4:3

[terse edge]

Well it’s 2x 4:3 after all

[lean panther]

Well single screen is

[copper meteor]

oh yeah single screen

[vernal nacelle]

It matter less but it always helps

[terse edge]

3DS is 5:3 + 4:3

[copper meteor]

wack

[terse edge]

Nah 5:3 is goated

[copper meteor]

huh genesis and nintendo have different screen sizes

[terse edge]

Aspect ratio of the gods

[copper meteor]

TIL

[novel ruin]

this also gives plenty of room for shaders for those that like them

[terse edge]

5:3 screen in the rg552 is still the best screen that has ever been used in a retro handheld

[marsh prairie]

More importantly, black bars are actually black bars

Oled is so useful

[copper meteor]

Ohhhh yeah Oled!

huh so playing PSP games ain't so bad

[novel ruin]

i usually put a console bezel for each console 😄 no black bars for me

[terse edge]

I can live with that

[cobalt cloak]

Perfect overlays should look good

[copper meteor]

same

[cobalt cloak]

On gb

[copper meteor]

oh true! now imagine this with an Oled screen

It's gonna look good

[terse edge]

This one looks ass

Oled to the rescue

[cobalt cloak]

Yeah should be good at 6x

[copper meteor]

Yeah would actually look like a real GBC

[cobalt cloak]

Except long ways

Can never be satisfied

[terse edge]

Go buy an aya

[copper meteor]

so if retroid mini goes with snap dragon is that a good thing?

I have heard snap dragon is more battery effecient than demensity stuff

[terse edge]

Yeah but no way it’ll be snapdragon

[terse edge]

It’s not

[deft hawk]

im ngl

[copper meteor]

Yeah I doubt it as well

[copper meteor]

Duly noted

[deft hawk]

this thing would have been an instant buy for me

if it didnt have that one single analog stick

[novel ruin]

snap dragon being cheap enough for these is a good thing for everyone
so hope, but dont expect
it will happen eventually anyway

[copper meteor]

i'm instantly buying this one when it goes

[copper meteor]

Hmm true true

[deft hawk]

like the 40xxv looks really nice and i love it i do.... but that random analog stick really just feels so out of place

[terse edge]

Efficiency depends on the chips size (in nanometers) and apart from stuff we have no clue about because it’s so tiny architecture

[novel ruin]

dont forget, 70-80% of the market is sub 100$
10-20% is sub 200
a tiny fraction goes above that

[copper meteor]

not good for DS, pre-order canceled smh

[terse edge]

What did you expect?

[copper meteor]

Hmmm true

[copper meteor]

oh nah I was just being sarcastif

[copper meteor]

ohhh that makes sense

[terse edge]

4nm dimensity chips are similar in efficiency to 4nm snapdragons

[copper meteor]

gameboy advance is gonna be amazing

[lean panther]

I mean, Snapdragons are known for their great compatibility, or so I heard

[copper meteor]

ohh got it

[rough quiver]

I LOVE FENTANYL

[copper meteor]

Same

[copper meteor]

what kind of retro handheld emulation is that?

[finite dragon]

The one where you lose every time

[pseudo sail]

https://tenor.com/view/stop-it-get-some-help-gif-15058124

[terse edge]

Yup snapdragons are either better optimized for certain workloads or they have better optimized drivers like mesa turnip drivers for those workloads

[rough quiver]

Handheld collector

Can’t tell me what to do

[copper meteor]

Ohhh that explains why aya neo and ayn odin went with snap dragon

[pseudo sail]

what

[rough quiver]

I bet you own 30 anbernics

[pseudo sail]

I bet I own like uh

2

[rough quiver]

Hundred

[velvet dagger]

280v and a 35XX (the shitty 2023 one)

[pseudo sail]

28xx and 405V

[velvet dagger]

i got somewhat close

[pseudo sail]

I think we might actually finish overnight

[copper meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-meme-anime-manga-one-piece-monkey-d-luffy-gif-4849530166777810117

[novel ruin]

show the cheeks

[pseudo sail]

Damn ask me out to lunch first

[pseudo sail]

[cobalt cloak]

Holeeeeeeeyyyy

[copper meteor]

Honestly I do wish retroid colors their logo in the back with the same colors of the shoulder buttons! would actually look cool instead of it being the same color as the c ase

[rough quiver]

That back looks like an ayaneo pocket air

[velvet dagger]

ayaneo is outside retroids door

[terse edge]

A bit of cube a bit of pocket air

And the front has a touch of pocket Evo

[copper meteor]

ye you're right

[copper meteor]

it's like the RG CUBE and Pocket Air had a baby

[terse edge]

I wish they would have passed on the glass front

[copper meteor]

ye

[terse edge]

Applying a screen protector will get so awkward

[copper meteor]

I genienly can't wait for the colors to arrive

[marsh prairie]

Counterpoint

[carmine trellis]

Just no. Logo's standing out is straight up trash and tacky AF. IMHO.

[marsh prairie]

It looks sick

[copper meteor]

I swear if they don't do DMG I'll be depressed

[copper meteor]

but it looks good 😦 like this for example

[carmine trellis]

No thanks. I'd put some white electrical tape to cover all that if I owned that

[gusty iron]

Black looks niceeee!

[copper meteor]

ohh is that official?

[velvet dagger]

whoa its pre-smudged for our convience

[dreamy turtle]

those cheeks are begging for my hands to grasp them

[pseudo sail]

source

[copper meteor]

Yeah I don't want to get any black handhelds it's just gonna look bad with finger prints

[marsh prairie]

I made it up

[pseudo sail]

guys I made a retro achievements account

[gusty iron]

Looks like it. Here's the bigger image.

[pseudo sail]

okay but what's the source

[terse edge]

The glass front?

[pseudo sail]

guess we'll never know lol

[copper meteor]

Just now? I'm suprised

[cobalt cloak]

Sleeper retroid agent

[copper meteor]

Ohh looks neat

[cobalt cloak]

That looks awesome though

In watermelon that’d be

[velvet dagger]

i dont care abt RA 🙏

[marsh prairie]

Yes

[terse edge]

You’re not wrong it looked wonderful on the vita

Wish the Ayn Odin 2 mini would have done it as well

And used the same plastic as on the rp4

But now it just looks smudgy

[terse edge]

Where is that from?

[pseudo sail]

source: trust me bro

probably a fan render

[novel ruin]

yeah i cant find it anywhere

the pocket air shows up instead

it would be somewhat easy to swap it a bit to do that

[terse edge]

If no one would have told me I would have said it’s a QQ Chat leak

[pseudo sail]

misinformation go brrrrr

[velvet dagger]

looks so wonderful it must have cool games

[terse edge]

Yeah just ask Mr.PKGJ

[marsh prairie]

I still can’t believe they put the Snapdragon G3x gen 1 in this

[deft hawk]

.....man that ayaneo pocket s like front bothers me lol

[pseudo sail]

real

[vernal nacelle]

They are listening to Russ and the rest of the community who routinely bash any retro handheld that dares to advertise the name of the manufacturer lol

[terse edge]

Respectfully close your beak

[pseudo sail]

the 9000mah battery is insane too

[copper meteor]

Ohh lol

[rapid elm]

i just think it needs to look preetty

[marsh prairie]

You can get the snapdragon 8=D

[vernal nacelle]

Same, I don't mind it, especially on the back... I don't like it embedded into the screen bezel though

[copper meteor]

Retroid needs to this for the mini, it would be very convenient

[vernal nacelle]

Black Odin2 and a black RPmini will be the only combo needed

[novel ruin]

holster for the mini handheld

[copper meteor]

Yeah

[copper meteor]

oh you reminded me of this

https://i.kickstarter.com/assets/046/111/940/1cdbeefbafac1cbd426b431ff3c34d33_original.gif?fit=scale-down&origin=ugc&q=92&width=680&sig=WUK%2Fva1PNV5mVkR%2Frz%2F%2BxbHyvOETRUiWeBvr4Yexk%2BM%3D

[vital laurel]

Oh god, don’t look further up then.

[terse edge]

Why is he taking it out like he’s ready to fight

[terse edge]

Nah I’m sure he wants to ambush my ass handheld

[frail haven]

Officer im pulling out my handheld gun device

[marsh prairie]

Do I have a block list I need to start

[copper meteor]

that's the gimmick the bag is suppose to unsheath it like a katana
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/humanthings/genki-savepoint

[vital laurel]

That and OLED. In fact, those 2 little bonuses make it outright better than the standard 4” 480p screen we see on the RG405M/V.

[copper meteor]

Yeah I was abit suprised, the pixel density is gonna be crazy

[vital laurel]

Again, just don’t look further up than what I replied to.

[carmine trellis]

It's a good thing. Customers aren't paid to advertise for the brand when using the device. No reason for the logo be loud and obvious unless you're paid to promote it.

[pseudo sail]

I like how the logo im emblazoned on stuff like this RP mini or the Ayn odin 2 mini

simple and discreet

[marsh prairie]

I want them to imprint little cave man drawings into mine

[deft hawk]

Oh for sure... I'm just curious about a few things

Like where it'll land price wise and what chip

Because we have the 2S at $99, the RP4 Base at $150.... And this thing will have a better soc than the d900?

[terse edge]

T820 for sure

[deft hawk]

Which if that's the case I can't see it being under $150

[terse edge]

Similar price

[marsh prairie]

I mean, could mean rp4s are on the way out

[deft hawk]

So like $170?

[terse edge]

T820 would mean maybe slightly cheaper then the 556

[deft hawk]

How much is the 556 these days

[terse edge]

170?

[deft hawk]

Ah

[carmine trellis]

Guys it'll be $198.99. More expensive than the RP4. Cheaper than the RP4P. There ya go.

[pseudo sail]

As long as it's sub $200 we're groovy

[terse edge]

Without discounts

[deft hawk]

So then yea could see that

[terse edge]

Saw it for as low as 134

[marsh prairie]

This is going to be 150 max

[terse edge]

Would be ideal

[deft hawk]

Ideal but I feel like that would eat RP4

[terse edge]

But like anbernic messed up the the usb c port on the 556

[carmine trellis]

Better cannibalise than for sales to go elsewhere.

[terse edge]

T820 on the nubia Neo 2 can be docked

[pseudo sail]

Like they're actually selling RP4s lol

[terse edge]

So if retroid gets the usb c right t820 should work with their dock I guess

[marsh prairie]

Gotta be honest, give no fucks about docking my handhelds that emulate old games

[deft hawk]

Hey I've seen a few RP4s in the wild

[pseudo sail]

Real

[terse edge]

Don’t get me wrong snapdragon would be nice too

[carmine trellis]

The RP4 is there to make the RP4P more appealing TBH.

[pseudo sail]

Yeah it's like 1000:1 lol

[terse edge]

Yeah but Chris said it’s compatible so this is what we have when it comes to guessing chipsets

[deft hawk]

For some people they have a $200 max total budget and the RP4 fits in there well

But yea I get it

[marsh prairie]

Hasn’t it been confirmed to be the G3x gen 1?

[terse edge]

I’d do mini + case and dock for $200

[terse edge]

No

[marsh prairie]

Hold on

[marsh prairie]

@vital laurel wasn’t this confirmed?

[deft hawk]

I don't remember seeing any confirmed CPU reports either

[terse edge]

How would rns know

[vital laurel]

You’re thinking of the 888.

[marsh prairie]

They’re actually basically the same thing

[carmine trellis]

It's gonna be an A15 chip. Retroid's secretly owned by Apple now. That's why they let emulators on the app store

[vital laurel]

Yes, but one is exclusive to Razer Edge, the other isn’t.

[carmine trellis]

They're gonna rename to Retapple

[marsh prairie]

They’d do tensor before a chips lol

[marsh prairie]

Edge didn’t sell well, we get the scraps

[terse edge]

https://tenor.com/view/tim-cook-gif-9734930

[vital laurel]

At least, I’m pretty sure the G3X chipsets are exclusivity deals. Considering the Razer Edge is the literal only device with the Gen 1 and only AYANEO has access to the Gen 2.

[terse edge]

They would do kirin chips before tensor

[marsh prairie]

I hear they got a deal with doritos first

[rough quiver]

Watch this device have a h700 and be Linux

[carmine trellis]

We love Tim Apple

[marsh prairie]

Ok jokes aside

H700 in this would make me laugh in a joker style way so hard

[velvet dagger]

imagine

618

[terse edge]

Again it’ll have to be fully compatible with the dock ;))

[velvet dagger]

but the funny

the funny jigg

[pseudo sail]

D1200 confirmed

https://tenor.com/view/i-saw-w-gus-fring-gus-gustavo-deleted-gif-25440636

[terse edge]

[pseudo sail]

Jigg did you post the thing again

[terse edge]

Yes

Just look at the thick curves

[pseudo sail]

Riiiiiight

[terse edge]

Finally someone’s not afraid make their handhelds more utility focused then pretty or light

[opal meteor]

So I just scrolled through about 2000 messages and my favourite was that "Apple and Samsung are the same company" 💀

[terse edge]

Both owned by moorechip

Correct

[pseudo sail]

Both owned by blackrock

[rapid elm]

anbernic is owned by moorechip too

[copper meteor]

basically a mini pocket air at this point lol

[pseudo sail]

Real

[terse edge]

Blackrock is owned by NVIDIA

[copper meteor]

https://tenor.com/view/black-cat-pet-black-cat-real-gif-26501101

[tired musk]

It'll be like having a screen that's a bit smaller than a PSP Go on a device that's significantly larger than a PSP Go.

[copper meteor]

BOTH

[copper meteor]

oh yeah true

[marsh prairie]

Was that an official image?

[high pecan]

yeah Chris posted it on twitter

[novel ruin]

Here's another little nugget

[high pecan]

it sure feels like a RP2 refresh to me 😆

just curvy instead of boxy

[novel ruin]

my takeaway is it wouldnt need a fan vent if it was only an rp2s refresh

[marsh prairie]

I think they mean it’s more like something much newer. A refresh imo would just be slapping a new chip

[white shale]

Their product naming scheme had to change eventually. They were boxed in by the number system. So now they're free

[simple sapphire]

It's not a refresh lol. It's a whole new product

It's a replacement

[novel ruin]

Exactly

[simple sapphire]

A refresh would be like the iPhone SE 2022

Taking an old design and slapping a new chip in it lol

[novel ruin]

Sir

[simple sapphire]

oh. my. god.

it looks stunning

[idle fractal]

My phone was bugging

[simple sapphire]

I have to get one now

[thick iron]

ugh

why did I have to see that

[rapid elm]

that is sleek

[idle fractal]

I'm sorry guys

[thick iron]

looks soooooo much better than the previous one

[simple sapphire]

Fuck yeah it does

Lord have mercy

[thick iron]

not into the rg cube colours personally

[rapid elm]

this makes a great argument for making the entire front screen tempered glass on handhelds

[simple sapphire]

It looks super nice

That gray one looks bad in comparison

[idle fractal]

Now it's better

BUT BLACK IS LOOKING BEAUTIFUL UGH

[simple sapphire]

We don't have a source for that pic so it's sus

But like

Retroid is making a black unit lol

[novel ruin]

People already crack their phones enough with expensive glass
Imagine cheap glass....

[idle fractal]

That look premium double platinum

[simple sapphire]

Case.

Just use a case.

[novel ruin]

I hate addons

[rapid elm]

😿

stop ruining my dreams kit kat

[simple sapphire]

I'm praying this has analog triggers, it should

[novel ruin]

It's also hard enough to find replacement glass for said phones, imagine how difficult to find it for a random handheld

[simple sapphire]

Mario Kart Wii Deluxe on an OLED

[novel ruin]

They literally show them in the trailer

[thick iron]

that would be insane if rp2s had them and this didn't lol

[dreamy turtle]

I have never cracked a phone screen, and i've never used a case or screen protector. no idea how my mom keeps cracking hers with a full flap leather case and a shield.

[simple sapphire]

I'm swooning

I cracked 2 phones in my life

Both were my fault

If you actually take care of your shit it wouldn't be a problem

[thick iron]

I just want this to run beetle core and be a saturn emulation device

[simple sapphire]

Saturn is, for some reason, really hard to emulate

[blissful coral]

Very cool! It would be amazing if they do a special edition of the mini with all of the funtastic transparent colors, like they did with the RP2. (Or at least sell shells in all of the funtastic colors for anyone who wants to buy & install themselves)

[misty egret]

i prefer the new mini in this shape and a little grips on the back.

[blissful coral]

Yeah I personally love the flat form factor too for pocket-ability, and then the option to use a separate grip if I want comfortable ergonomics for longer playing sessions at home.

But either way, I'm just hoping they bring back all of the funtastic colors as a special edition for whatever new devices they do! I absolutely love my fire orange RP2 (and of course everyone has their own favorite colors, hence why I would love it if they offered all options again! Even if it costs extra, I'd personally be happy to pay extra for a special edition funtastic fire orange shell on any new Retroid handheld they come out with.

[blissful birch]

This is looking highly Ape Escapeable.

The standard in which we measure all things

[novel ruin]

🤔

[vast gate]

so any new details shared during the night?

[novel ruin]

nop

[upbeat widget]

Thought we only measure d-pads with the contra test

[opal meteor]

didnt we got like every detail there is within 1 week when the rp4 was announced? i hope thats the case here too

• release in like mid october

[vast gate]

ooh

https://www.ddinstagram.com/retroidpocket/p/C-_7WUjyGdp/

this definitrly looks better than the render with the bezels

[opal meteor]

is this official? didnt they say it was OLED? Now its AMOLED

[vast gate]

seems to be official IG channel (the DD is just so it embeds better on discord)

[thin umbra]

that new image looks waaayyy better than the video look

[vast gate]

yup ... especially the screen/device ratio

[velvet dagger]

glass front is still

like an downside for me for this

[rough quiver]

What is the issue with glass fronts?

Is it cuz of the fingerprints or is it just weird with screen protectors?

Or does it like shatter or something?

I like it on my vita

[velvet dagger]

i dont vibe with it

[kind badge]

“I don’t like it because I don’t like it. And it’s terrible for the same reason.” 😛

[round quartz]

Those two colorways remind me too much of the black odin2 and the beige/red rg cube I have... and I don't like that 😅

I'm not the person who wants all his consoles to look the same

[vast gate]

Tbh I am ultimately waiting for reviews on oth this and 406 before grabbing one .... but it's great that the niche I have been waiting for for so long is finall happening

Didn't really.jive with the render , but the ig promo looks great

[opal meteor]

I hope it plays gc and ps2 well, I imagine its weird on 3.7 inch but the 4:3 aspect will be perfect

[lean panther]

Ooof, the thread is at 4500 messages now in just a day

[stark zephyr]

The black seems good

[toxic sparrow]

There is something 'uncanny valley' about this device. Something about it is freaking me out lol

[lapis umbra]

Haven't been on discord in like 2 days, come back to this news.. usually I read every message but.. I think I'm going to skip the 4500

Not in the mood for a novel today

[stark zephyr]

It's off topic but is the anbernic win 600 is good for 200€

[lapis umbra]

For me this device lives and dies by how pocketable it is, that's the entire reason I would buy a small device like this

[storm umbra]

depends on what you're looking for and what spec i say

[stark zephyr]

The more demanding game il gonna play is god eater

And Fallout 3

But I will play like castle crashers, the binding of Isaac and Celeste

Games like that

[lethal cove]

ask in #957140089618722826

[stark zephyr]

Okay

[pearl island]

Damn, I was hoping OpenMicroWave was what I did when the food was ready

Two things, and I can’t see how both are true

1. it will be cheaper than the rp4 base

2. it uses a new chip like the 8 gen 1 or d1100

[simple sapphire]

The 2nd isn't going to be true lmfao

Though I do wish it had that level of power

I'm sticking with the similar to D900 rumor lol

But again I can't say for certain

[lapis umbra]

My outlandish prediction: they're going to use a proper higher-end chip, this will probably be closer to 200 dollars and we might even see an rp5 with the same chip before Christmas with a larger OLED.

[simple sapphire]

That I kind of doubt

[terse edge]

No need to go above the d1100

[simple sapphire]

The RP4 Pro is only 8 months old

[terse edge]

Rp5 will be the only device that’ll introduce a more powerful, probably

[simple sapphire]

Maybe soon we'll get the RP5 announcement

[simple sapphire]

Yeah RP5 will introduce a more powerful chip

[terse edge]

That thing won’t be sold before Chinese new year 2025

[lapis umbra]

Oh I want to be clear, I'm not saying that's what I want to happen I just think it's a possibility

[simple sapphire]

What I'm hoping is happening

[lapis umbra]

I would rather this be more affordable

[simple sapphire]

6 Gen 1, 8 GB of RAM

[terse edge]

Surely they won’t rush QC again to get ahead of cny and CES

[simple sapphire]

$130

[terse edge]

That price doesn’t work

[idle fractal]

Imagine Sd Gen 2 with 230

Mm

[terse edge]

It’s 5pm in china maybe they’ll allow Chris to leak something later on

[simple sapphire]

Wdym?

$130 isn't too wild, maybe the RAM is too much

[terse edge]

You’d probably pay $130 for a mini with a g99 I assume a 6 gen 1 would be more expensive with the snapdragon tax and the $130 only works if they got a really good deal on the oled

[simple sapphire]

The 6 Gen 1 isn't expensive chip wise, as it's a lower mid range chip

[terse edge]

Maybe I’m wrong it’s hard to estimate these prices without having some insider knowledge

[simple sapphire]

And it's not the newest one too

And yeah the OLED is tricky

[terse edge]

What are we looking in terms of performance

[pearl island]

What was the chip you were touting? I’ve probably written down the wrong chip

[simple sapphire]

6 Gen 1 is on par with SD 855, or about the same performance as the D900

[simple sapphire]

Snapdragon 6 Gen 1

Its definitely not a bad chip

[pearl island]

Remind me, how old was the RP3 before the 3+ came out?

[storm umbra]

3 months

[simple sapphire]

That's different, at least they dropped irrelevancy and the RP4 Pro at the same time XD

[pearl island]

I’m gonna look a little dumb here. Does that compare with the chip in the Logitech GCloud?

[simple sapphire]

It's better while being more affordable

It's similar to D900 performance wise

Plus it can benefit from the Snapdragon optimization

Idk, I could be wrong

But it just makes a ton of sense

[terse edge]

A d900 mini would be around 150 at best so a 6 Gen 1 might be more expensive

[pearl island]

The situation is different, I agree, but the company is the same, and I’m suggesting the mindset to pivot to a new product remains

[simple sapphire]

Yeah

[pearl island]

So you’re saying the chip in the G Cloud is more expensive that the SD 6 gen 1?

You might be right but, again sorry if I’m being dumb, that doesn’t seem to make sense

[terse edge]

No the 720g shouldn’t be as expensive

[simple sapphire]

It's a Logitech product tbf

[upbeat widget]

100% it will be something from the dimensity line

[simple sapphire]

It's overpriced

But you get what you pay for

Also there's another SD chip it could be

[pearl island]

The cpu?

[simple sapphire]

Oh

Yeah, probably at the time

The G Cloud has a chip from the 700 series

Qualcomm tends to charge more

But there's another similar chip to the 6 Gen 1, but slightly older

The Qualcomm Snapdragon 695

[sullen remnant]

6 gen 1 seems like best shout i think

[terse edge]

720g

[upbeat widget]

There's around 5 soc choices from mediatek that could be in this

[terse edge]

Instead of speculating how cheap this could be

[sullen remnant]

Need a modern chip for video out and android 13/14 compatibility

[simple sapphire]

https://www.qualcomm.com/products/mobile/snapdragon/smartphones/snapdragon-6-series-mobile-platforms/snapdragon-695-5g-mobile-platform

I have to see if this had video out

But

This is a contender

[pearl island]

To date Retroid products have been priced according to CPU performance. While we can be 100% sure that continues, if we make the assumption they continue current working practises, the mini will be more expensive than the 4 base if it’s more performant and cheaper if it’s not

[upbeat widget]

My guess is either a D1000 a D1050 or the D1080

[terse edge]

One should ask themselves : „what is stopping retroid from putting a d1100 inside and pricing this at $200“

[simple sapphire]

Tell me, which one of them supports video out over USB-C

[terse edge]

That’s how ayn got their 2 min pricing

[simple sapphire]

Like genuinely I'm curious lol

[pearl island]

Good question and I’d say: Retroid haven’t yet released a product that’s cannibalised the sales of their top devices

[simple sapphire]

Yeah

They have no reason to either

The RP4 Pro is selling well

Why would they cannibalize that

If you think about it

But this is just all theory

[pearl island]

I can imagine that the RP4 has badly underachieved and they have component parts left, but also Android 11 is EoL. Do Google allow new products to ship with the play store, if they’re running EoL Android?

[simple sapphire]

If they do pull a D1100 out of their ass consider me even more sold

[lapis umbra]

My response to that would be: 1) the rp4 has been out for 8 months, 9 by the time this thing releases and 2) they're different sizes so the rp4 would continue to sell regardless, but I also believe they're replacing it relatively soon so they probably won't care

[simple sapphire]

It's not completely EoL, but yeah

[pearl island]

What do you mean by that?

[simple sapphire]

Android 12/13 is kind of preferred

[simple sapphire]

You can still access GMS (Google Mobile Services) from Android 8

[sullen remnant]

Enough said

[simple sapphire]

As of now

[forest cloud]

what CPU/GPU will tis have???

[simple sapphire]

No one knows

[simple sapphire]

Also shout out my backup phone XD

[forest cloud]

theres no way they are putting the d1100 in this

[terse edge]

„The Odin 2 mini doesn’t compete with the regular Odin 2“

-Ayn

[forest cloud]

i dont think they can cool it

[sullen remnant]

Usually these companies get parts from recycled phones, so would make sense

[lapis umbra]

D-pad on top gang gang rise up take back our hobby from the filthy d-pad bottom gang, it's on sight, we spill blood

[pearl island]

Sure, but the software is EoL by how we define software lifespans, ie it will not receive any security updates and the manufacturer lists it as end of life in their website

[simple sapphire]

This is the SD 6 Gen 1 phone in question

[forest cloud]

but can it play...............PS2??????

https://tenor.com/view/looney-tunes-daffy-duck-hello-greetings-well-hello-there-gif-18378171729524210952

[simple sapphire]

Proof is in the puddin

[lapis umbra]

How does the Snapdragon 6 gen 1 perform, haven't looked into it

[simple sapphire]

I haven't tested any Emulation on it

I can

[simple sapphire]

I can run some performance tests

But based off of general usage

It's not bad at all

Dare I say

[lapis umbra]

Yeah that'd be super helpful, I don't need anything super specific just general vague benchmarks

[simple sapphire]

It's good

[pearl island]

And retroid do have form for putting the same cpu in multiple shells so I take the point

[terse edge]

Didn’t someone say sd 855 performance

[simple sapphire]

Let me download Geekbench and AnTuTu

[terse edge]

So better then Odin 1

[simple sapphire]

Also to clarify

MY MODEL IS A US CARRIER BRANDED MODEL, WHICH HAS 6 GB OF RAM INSTEAD OF 8 IN THE CARRIER UNLOCKED MODEL

This was a common thing for Motorola to do

They stopped with their 2024 line up

[sullen remnant]

Not a huge jump, but seems logical

[terse edge]

So a bit better then Odin 1 as expected

[sullen remnant]

Yeah. My lite could play a decent amount of stuff. So this should be good if snapdragon chip

[terse edge]

But it’s so uncommon for snapdragons to be used

[simple sapphire]

Downloading benchmarks now

[simple sapphire]

Not in smartphones

[sullen remnant]

Remember active cooling plays a big part

[terse edge]

Of course

But handheld makers really love Unisoc and dimensity

[simple sapphire]

Ayn kind of changed that

Odin and Odin 2 sold well

[sullen remnant]

Imagine Ayn / retroid have a relationship with SD

[simple sapphire]

Both are SD based

[terse edge]

I don’t if they changed that or if they only do it because they are in a higher price bracket where you don’t have to create profit margins as aggressively

[simple sapphire]

Running Geekbench now

[abstract estuary]

lol , this really look like ayaneo product

[simple sapphire]

There's also Pimax, Ayaneo, Razer

[sullen remnant]

Thats not a bad thing

Better customer service

[terse edge]

A little bit

[simple sapphire]

Best color

And dat asss

[idle fractal]

This is not bad it's bit better than t820

[sullen remnant]

Going to look good next to my evo

[simple sapphire]

It's going to be comfy

[lapis umbra]

Well it doesn't have down firing speakers and it doesn't have poorly placed start and select buttons so it can't be an Ayaneo 😂

[terse edge]

Single handedly doubling their instagram followers

[idle fractal]

Extra Juice Pause

[simple sapphire]

10000%

27% on Geekbench

[lapis umbra]

I really hope this doesn't have a glass front

[simple sapphire]

Device is getting warm

Active cooling can definitely help with performance

[idle fractal]

Is it having glass front bad for a device

[sullen remnant]

Think it does

[simple sapphire]

From a durability aspect yeah

[sullen remnant]

Thats how they get the no bezel look

[simple sapphire]

And it also gets dirty fast

[lapis umbra]

Not bad just a preference thing, glass attracts fingerprints meaning it either looks bad or you have to clean it a lot

[simple sapphire]

But like

Just take care of your stuff

Lols

[idle fractal]

Ahh

[sullen remnant]

Yeah. Expect lots of reddit posts

Broken screens

[tawdry nova]

Not really

[simple sapphire]

I'm on the D-Pad Top gang

[sullen remnant]

Same. Anbernic is coming fast with 406. So gives people options. For stick on top gang

Choose one or other

[simple sapphire]

Also battery drain is good on this 6 Gen 1 device

I haven't charged it in a month or two

[sullen remnant]

Drivers

[carmine trellis]

Oh 100% it is. If you want a joystick on top, go for something else

[simple sapphire]

It's on 54% now

[tawdry nova]

I mean it's good for 2d games but for 3d games not so much

[carmine trellis]

Then this is the wrong device for those who wanna play 3D games

[simple sapphire]

Not really

[idle fractal]

But with the ergo it would be bit better

[simple sapphire]

Yeah

[sullen remnant]

People have their own preferences. I was xbox layout gang for so long. But have grown to appreciate the dpad top layout

[carmine trellis]

Just answering the person using their logic

[simple sapphire]

My RP4 Pro Grip makes it much better for 3D stuff and it's D-Pad Top

This has built in ergo

It has an ASS

[tawdry nova]

I Agree

[sullen remnant]

I mostly play gba, so dpad top makes most sense

[simple sapphire]

It's not flat like the other Retroid products

[carmine trellis]

I personally prefer d-pad on top for both 3D and 2D games

[sullen remnant]

Probs same guy who designed odin 2

[simple sapphire]

I HAVE THE RESULTS

[sullen remnant]

Got paid overtime

[idle fractal]

Because the stick layout was never a problem for me but the ergo matters like if retroid had ayn odin mini stick I can deal with it

[simple sapphire]

Ready

[sullen remnant]

😂

[simple sapphire]

SD 6 Gen 1

[idle fractal]

Oooooo

[sullen remnant]

Once you have held a logitech g cloud. Everything else feels bad ergo wise

[simple sapphire]

Motorola moto g stylus 5G 2023, Android 14

[simple sapphire]

This is some solid performance

[sullen remnant]

Still yet to find something as comfy

[lapis umbra]

And with active cooling performance will be a bit higher

[idle fractal]

I would agree that statement if they had a bit better chip and better price

[simple sapphire]

For sure

[sullen remnant]

Same. I got mine dirt cheap 2nd hand. Its my bedside device

[simple sapphire]

The heat coming from this phone isn't bad though

[lapis umbra]

That picture needs to be pinned or it's going to get lost

[idle fractal]

Sd 6 Gen 1 with active cooling and retroid software mmmmmmm serious weapon right there

[simple sapphire]

Battery drain while being pushed is legit 1%

Installing Dolphin

What GameCube and Wii game (that supports GameCube Controllers) do you guys want to see

1 game each please

[sullen remnant]

Smash is a mid level game for gc. Somewhat demanding but not as bad as fzero

[simple sapphire]

Smash I can do

That could be a good baseline

I'll do MK Wii for Wii

Wario's Gold Mine to be precise

[idle fractal]

I would not be surprised if they can make warzone playable on rp mini

[simple sapphire]

It did struggle on the RP4 Base

[sullen remnant]

Yeah they do phone spoofing on these devices now

You need to have longer thumb nails 😂

[simple sapphire]

I will do these games upscaled to 720p

[sullen remnant]

I do find that so funny when these chinese companies do hands on with long nails

[lapis umbra]

I would try them at native first and if they run at full frames then try upscaling

[simple sapphire]

uh oh

[lapis umbra]

Long nails are really disgusting and annoying to me, I always keep mine ultra short

Like nails on a chalkboard type of cringe, God I hate it so much

[simple sapphire]

I keep mine short as well

[sullen remnant]

Apparently its a screw you to manual labour

Thats why they do it

[lapis umbra]

That makes a lot of sense

[sullen remnant]

But yeah its gross 😂

[lapis umbra]

Seems like it would just make your day to day a little more annoying to deal with

[sullen remnant]

The 40xxv hands on with them caressing back was creepy

[simple sapphire]

Copying MK Wii now

[terse edge]

You asked for it

[simple sapphire]

I'll do a screen recording and upload it to YouTube for both games

[lapis umbra]

People thought I was being mean or trolling, but looking at those nails actually upsets and disturbs me, like if you took styrofoam and just started making the scratching noise with it rubbing it against something, I get the same sensation when I look at that photo

[sullen remnant]

When your handhelds were made, likely had someone with long hails handle them 😂😂😂

I'm not going to change any settings other than setting the graphics API from OpenGL to Vulkan

And mapping my 8BitDo controller

[lapis umbra]

Well on cats it makes sense, they actually use their claws for stuff and it's useful. For humans though long nails are less than useless, they're actually detrimental

[sullen remnant]

Catch bacteria

Unless you're a guitar player I guess

But even then that's one nail not all of them

You understand it's a cultural thing right?

[sullen remnant]

Yeah 😅. Just having a jolly about it

[sullen remnant]

If they do a snes US. Thats it for me

[idle fractal]

Black Ugh my fave black

[lapis umbra]

I want a ruby red again

[idle fractal]

Everytime I look at the device I fell in love all over again

[sullen remnant]

Imagine solid colours. I dont know if they could do transparent shells with front glass

Im no engineer but guessing its tougher

[lapis umbra]

Front glass 🤢

[idle fractal]

Probably not since the device look glassy like ayaneo product

[vast gate]

i think i have alergic reaction to bezels 😄

especialyl on the white render , i can stop my brain seeing it as this "Smart" #🔥│upcoming-chat message

[idle fractal]

They can bring black, beige, white , blue , green and red I'm telling you people would buy this

But they would bring 16bit and stuff

[simple sapphire]

I can't screen record and play if I use Vulkan

So OpenGL it is

GOOD NEWS

They both run fine with OpenGL

Vulkan will be better

[sullen remnant]

Transparent shells are usually thinner. So more likely to break

[simple sapphire]

But I can't test and screen record

[simple sapphire]

@sullen remnant

https://youtu.be/0_xk7KfHLWQ

I suck at smash so no comment

[sullen remnant]

Ohhhhh that pretty good 😬

[simple sapphire]

This will be better with Vulkan

[sullen remnant]

Native? Or upscaled?

[simple sapphire]

Native

[sullen remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/cool-b99-brooklyn-nine-nine-andy-samberg-detective-jake-peralta-gif-11062927

Yeah i hope it is this chipset then. Im pretty pumped now

[simple sapphire]

Mario Kart Wii runs excellently

[sullen remnant]

Yeah im shocked 😬 imagine galaxy would run fine then

[stark zephyr]

Wii just run fine

[simple sapphire]

Stuttery at times but that's OpenGL for ya

[sullen remnant]

Give it time and people will find tweaks etc

[idle fractal]

Mmmmm

[simple sapphire]

Retroid's software will definitely fix it

Vulkan does run better

[sullen remnant]

Yeah

For real

Also stop throttling

[simple sapphire]

CoD Mobile runs at 60 FPS, Minecraft as well

Warzone I haven't tried

[sullen remnant]

You are giving people a lot of hope right now 😅😂

[stark zephyr]

And Fall guys come out

[upbeat widget]

Until it turns out it's just a dimensity

😎

[stark zephyr]

Can you give it a try ?

[simple sapphire]

Can you stop

Like legit

[stark zephyr]

Dimensity is not that bad

[sullen remnant]

Just bad driver support

Oh okay 🤣

[sullen remnant]

How much ram does your moto have?

[stark zephyr]

Can you think my phone can be Wii beast

If I have a dimensity 9200+

And will Switch runs great

[simple sapphire]

6 GB of RAM

[simple sapphire]

It will

What phone

[stark zephyr]

Xiaomi 13t pro

16gb of ram

[simple sapphire]

Oh you're good then lol

[sullen remnant]

Thats pretty good performance then for 6gb. Imagine retroid will have a base 8gb

[stark zephyr]

And 1 terabyte

[stark zephyr]

Okay

[terse edge]

Can you screen record while playing inside your freezer to emulate active cooling?

Very satisfying performance nonetheless

[pearl island]

And you keep saying sd 6 gen 1, there’s as much evidence for either position. What does it matter at this point? Either we looks for evidenced theories or we are fine with everyone throwing wild speculation out there. Both these positions are wild speculation

[simple sapphire]

Right

[pearl island]

It’s ok to have a Fox Mulder “I want to believe” poster. But it’s ok for other to have a “my heart belongs to dimensity” poster

[simple sapphire]

You know what I'll just step back, if it is the 6 Gen 1 I've provided enough performance benchmarks.

I'm getting too involved in a theory lol

[crimson willow]

For what its worth, Adventure Mode is where my RP2S would falter. With vulkan, hybrid ubershaders on and some other settings, every regular match runs fullspeed.

Even if not, proved what a low end sd chip is capable of

[pearl island]

Most people would ask for upscaled Wii rather than native, I think

[simple sapphire]

I would upscale but I can't screen record at the same time

Because I would need Vulkan

And Vulkan and the screen recorder don't like each other

[idle fractal]

Who

[simple sapphire]

Me

I'm who

Like fr

Wii can look amazing

But joking aside it would be snapdragon device

Again retroid always surprised us like rp2s I thought they would put t618 instead they put t610 with $99

[terse edge]

Imma be honest much as a 6 gen 1 would fit

There’s like a very slim chance it’ll be a snapdragon chip

Snapdragons just don’t exist for low and midrange handhelds

[simple sapphire]

We can't say for sure

So let's just wait

[quasi rose]

Back on the speculation grid

And now I saw the post and... ok we going AMOLED now

Not just

OLED

[simple sapphire]

What post?

[quasi rose]

This

Also, rn the only chip I can logically see this thing using is an Older Snapdragon

[simple sapphire]

Typo

They confirmed normal OLED before that photo on Twitter lol

[quasi rose]

Ah ok

Still better than IPS

[simple sapphire]

Yee

[crimson willow]

Weird typo to make

[quasi rose]

But back on track, only way this can full dock compatability and still be between d900 and d1100 is probably be a Older Snapdragon. Either the 6 gen 1, 845, or if we really wanna get spicy, the 865

[forest cloud]

6 gen 1 > t618?

[terse edge]

The only reason why I don’t entirely dismiss snapdragon are the QQ chat leaks

True or not they gotta stem from somewhere

[forest cloud]

D900 > 6 gen 1?

[crimson willow]

Could it be the leaks were actually about RP5's chip?

[sullen remnant]

Needs to be a chip that has video out and Android 13/14 support.

So sd chips seem more likely 6 gen 1 seeming most likely. But obviously nothing confirmed

Hopefully reveal soon so we can put this to rest 😅

[quasi rose]

Nothing is confirmed

But man is it interesting to think about

[sullen remnant]

[quasi rose]

... you unlocked a childhood memeory with this LMAO

But lowkey I can see Retroid going with Snapdragon chips

[lean crow]

How big is this compared to a RP2S

[quasi rose]

Especially if they're part of the same company as Ayn and could possibly get them to help them secure chips loke that

[balmy moth]

Is there a reason why we think its snap dragon? hasnt retroid always used mali chips?

[sullen remnant]

Dont think we have dimensions yet

Imagine that will be next reveal

Chip/price last

[lean crow]

It looks huge but so does RG40XX but thst was surprisingly pocketable

[quasi rose]

Cause they aren't using demencity chips for this device and it need to be full compatible with the current Retroid dock which means full video out and charging

[tepid rune]

likely cube sized, probably slightly less tall

[sullen remnant]

It will probs go size next, then more colour options, then specs and price last

For reveals

[lean crow]

That's a shame, Cube was not pocketable

[quasi rose]

Seeing how it's using a 3.7" screen, probably longer than the RG Cube and 2s, but short than the cube

[sullen remnant]

The bumps look a lot less than cube. So may be ok

[tepid rune]

look about the same to me

[lean crow]

406 speculation that will be bigger too

[tepid rune]

i'd much rather have it be comfortable to hold, cube is very comfortable

[sullen remnant]

Yeah 556 nailed this too. So imagine 406 will be nice also

[lean crow]

I'd rather full pocketability and option for grip for comfort at home

[quasi rose]

This looks longer than the cube imho

[balmy moth]

snap dragon would be good for switch emulation but on a 3.7" 4:3... i doubt that will look appealing

[sullen remnant]

You’d be a madman to do switch on this 😂😂 indies would be nice though

[tepid rune]

was referring to grip size, considering it looks thicker in the middle

[quasi rose]

This isn't gonna be for switch emulation. The chip is comparable to a d900 from what The big guys said

[quasi rose]

Ah ok ok, couldn’t tell from how you worded it

My b

[sullen remnant]

To be fair netflix has me covered with indies that are available on switch. Id prefer to play them native

Netflix doing a good job porting them all to android

[quasi rose]

But yeah, this chipset seems to be between the capabilities of the D900 and D1100

[balmy moth]

well psp would be just as unappealing

[sullen remnant]

Yeah bad letterboxing

[balmy moth]

unless you wanna stretch 😭

[sullen remnant]

🤮

[quasi rose]

But that's only two emus out of like.... alot that would love a bezeless 4:3 oled display

[sullen remnant]

Yeah. Gba will pop with a nice bezel to cover up black borders

Think it 5x or 6x if i remember correctly

[quasi rose]

Hold up

[tepid rune]

won't need a bezel with oled

[sullen remnant]

True 😅

[tepid rune]

& wouldn't want a static image displayed on one for that long either

[sullen remnant]

Forget about those inky blacks

[sullen remnant]

Agree. But i havent found it too bad on my pocket air.

So far no burn in

[sullen remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/beautiful-amazing-so-beautiful-it-is-what-it-is-gif-22558916

[tepid rune]

i've had some image retention on mine (& I hardly use it), but no burn-in so far, could be worse on the mini display tho

[sullen remnant]

Yeah true. Waits for reddit posts 😂

[quasi rose]

No integer scaling and man these look promising

Especially with it being OLED

[tepid rune]

yah, hope it has the power to actually push a good amount of gc/ps2 at 2x

[quasi rose]

PS1 IS A PERFECT 4X

So is N64

Dreamcast is 2x

[sullen remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/sa2-sonic-adventure2-sonic-the-hedgehog-yeah-lets-go-gif-26957025

[quasi rose]

NES is 4x, and SNES is 4.3x

[sullen remnant]

Its just psp really.

Big borders

[quasi rose]

Yep

[sullen remnant]

Not too bad i guess

[crimson willow]

Not bad at all

[sullen remnant]

With those inky black borders might be ok

[quasi rose]

Wow... Genesis actually will look fire on this

[sullen remnant]

https://tenor.com/view/james-mcavoy-sweating-fanning-yourself-cooling-off-sweat-meme-gif-25431489

Spinball going to look great 😅

[carmine trellis]

They struck gold with the screen resolution at this stage of consoles. If the screen was 1440x960, that would’ve been perfect.

[quasi rose]

Only difference 1440 makes is that alot of the perfect scale consoles get boarders on the sides and PSP becomes a 3x

[carmine trellis]

You also get a perfectly scaled GBA too

[shut phoenix]

One of the thing I've been waiting for. 3ds is also gorgeous on an oled and ps2. It's one of the few reasons I even touch my phone for emulation

[carmine trellis]

Perfect integer scale for all 240/480p consoles and GBA. That’s the dream
