Anbernic RG Slide

[minor tundra]

There’s gonna be like 10 games from late ps2 era action titles that will choke the t820, and even that is probably more on the dead ethersx2 than the hardware

[hollow breach]

Idk could just be my settings but it struggled a little bit with gow

[minor tundra]

GOW is one of the hardest ps2 titles to run

[heavy thicket]

And nfs underground 2 but most of them are actually fine

[minor tundra]

But yeah I bet you could play every ps2 rpg on the t820 no problem

And the gta games

Unfortunately you need pressure sensitive buttons for the metal gear and silent hill games 😦

[heavy thicket]

And most of the sports games

[minor tundra]

But yeah for me no analog triggers + compact control layout = rpg + 2d platformer machine

[heavy thicket]

To be honest would I play sports games on anbernic rg slide idk but action games you see me there

Especially fighting games

But sports games maybe with psp version

[minor tundra]

It would be my new Mr driller machine for sure

With the hidden controls and 4:3 screen I might actually load it up with old 4:3 tv shows

King of the hill baby

[heavy thicket]

I was going to say that I would use this a media player

[minor tundra]

Good mp3 player too if the headphone jack isn’t terrible (retro handhelds can be pretty hit and miss on that one tbf)

I guess for media you could use Bluetooth

[misty meadow]

it might be good for old tv shows but with it likely being lcd I feel like your phone would still be better for media consuption even if 4:3

unless you're a black bar hater

compared to my phone you would only get 0.3 inches of area extra on the rg slide

and yeah I would rather take amoled over that extra 0.3 inches

happy to be proven otherwise though

[minor tundra]

For me the difference is fairly stark, but also especially when travelling I try not to use my phone for anything other devices can do to make sure the battery stays fully charged in case of emergency etc

[ocean gate]

what kind of crazy phone are you using, most have 21:9 displays

[minor tundra]

iPhone 12 mini

But yeah I think it might be closer to 21:9

Doesn’t exactly change much

[ocean gate]

also fairly basic screen size for phones these days

[heavy thicket]

Yes

[heavy thicket]

Idk using lcd screens would be fine for me

[misty meadow]

wow, you got a tiny phone

my phone is 20:9 6.5 inches

4.4 inch screen size for 4:3

[cold crag]

*Josh

[heavy thicket]

Eeeeee

I got his name wrong 😔

I'm cooked

[minor tundra]

Mine is 3.5” for 4:3

[heavy thicket]

Josh if you see this love you ❤️

[minor tundra]

And I would go smaller if I could

[minor tundra]

Phones being silly massive is a pet peeve of mine

[crude galleon]

I love the 3:2

[minor tundra]

My iPhone 4s was the right size for a one hand touchscreen device

[heavy thicket]

To be honest it's been a while since we got phone being small again

[minor tundra]

The foldables are maybe going in the right direction - the small ones are what I would consider a sane phone size while closed lol

[misty meadow]

I guess in your case this device makes a lot of sense

[misty meadow]

I pray to god it's 3:2 even though I know it's not

[icy fable]

I have a gen 1 pixel fold and I use the smaller screen on the outside more than the inner one

[minor tundra]

I meant the smaller flip

The fold is still a full sized smart phone when closed

[misty meadow]

Jelly Star

[minor tundra]

Thought about it

[heavy thicket]

I love those filp phone this is why I don't get why apple is so boring sometimes

[minor tundra]

I get hand me down iPhones for free though

[hollow breach]

I dont think it could be 3:2 could it? Looks like there's two lines on either side that it would cover up

[heavy thicket]

It would be 4:3 I'm confident about that

[misty meadow]

yeah I don't know why they put these huge bezels on the device

could easily house a 3:2 display

[heavy thicket]

But what I really want to do know is are they actually doing it with 120hz

[minor tundra]

4:3 >>>>>>>> every other aspect ratio in a retro gaming device

And yeah I also hope for 120hz

Will help for ms dos stuff a lot, as well as general motion clarity improvements

[violet fog]

4:3 > 16:9> everything Else

[minor tundra]

What if the reason they’re hiding the bottom bit from us is that it doesn’t have gamepad controls at all, just a QWERTY thumb keyboard and a track pad

[violet fog]

https://tenor.com/view/mr-popo-dragonball-popo-gif-12293385

[misty meadow]

also 120hz devices tend to have lower latency

[minor tundra]

First retro handheld designed for kb+m games wen

[heavy thicket]

It would be crazy if anbernic is putting 120hz

It would be more crazier for retroid yet to put 120hz properly in retroid pocket 6 soon

[minor tundra]

The size and shape of this does work with the rumoured 4.7 inch 120hz 1280x960

[heavy thicket]

One thing tho anbernic is actually good when it comes to screen on their handheld

Rg406h really appreciate their work on their screens

Put the shame on retroid sometimes

[minor tundra]

406 screen is great

Probably the second best lcd in my house after y700

[tough hearth]

what can you do with 120hz on android anyway?

[hollow breach]

Smooth swiping

[violet fog]

Wasn't there a black screen 60 hz thing? Where it would blink black and screen for Perfect CRT effect or something

[woven gulch]

Tho, i heard like in an rg557 review, that their oled can be a hit or miss, and the older version/test unit had colder, and the newer had warmer screen, if i remember correctly.
And sometimes the ips bleed.

[heavy thicket]

I feel it's not important but it's does the experience more faster more smooth swiping and Even make the gaming smoother

[heavy thicket]

Unfortunately yes it can be hit and miss

[minor tundra]

A lot of ms dos games are 70hz - still not perfect on 120hz screen with v sync but a hell of a lot better than on a 60hz one

[tough hearth]

atari lynx and was it wonderswan were 75hz

[minor tundra]

50fps pal games will also be much more even pacing on a 120hz screen vs 60

Basically anything that isn’t exactly 60fps

[heavy thicket]

100%

I literally forgot about this

[minor tundra]

A lot of pal exclusive amiga games

[heavy thicket]

This would help massive when it comes to pal games

[minor tundra]

If you want to play Turrican 2 your options are pal amiga, 70hz cga DOS, or the weird edited version for Genesis/snes/gameboy with missing some levels and a few new ones reskinned into a movie tie in for the van damme movie universal soldier

This will probably also be great for scummVM 4:3 games with the touchscreen (playing with the controls away)

Imma play gobliiins 1-3

[heavy thicket]

What I do like about this is using as ds

I know it's not ideal but yk

[steady gust]

4:3 was confirmed by wildlee

[steady gust]

Black frame insertion is possible with 120hz to reduce motion blur but on such a small screen the motion blur reduction is not that noticeable imo

[violet fog]

Thank you! That's what it was called

[frozen lintel]

Release date?

I really want to buy something

[hollow pulsar]

End of this month!

[woven gulch]

I thought it will be 1-2.5 weeks from now. Based on their yt videos.

[violet fog]

https://tenor.com/view/two-weeks-gif-24950918

[cold crag]

https://tenor.com/view/nervous-scared-sign-of-the-cross-anxiety-praying-gif-14141330

Please not the two week curse

[minor tundra]

anbernic has never dragged us along that long have they?

like a month from teaser to for sale is normal for them

or less

(once something actually goes on their youtube channel, not max zhou teasing people on baidu)

[vestal tundra]

first time they use the masterpiece title

[hollow breach]

They seem pretty proud of it, assuming everything goes well they should tbh

[frozen lintel]

is it tho

[vestal tundra]

it's just logical

[rocky sigil]

not typically but then again the teaser we got was not typical

I'm guessing this is not months away but also not coming immediately

[vestal tundra]

gonna post this again

[scenic oar]

So

Touch sticks??

Pretty much a Xperia Play with modern version of Android???

Or what I'm looking at

[last rose]

Sonys old patent on the sliding mechanism

[scenic oar]

Expired.

?

[last rose]

The yellow highlighted part is the important bit

Yeah, expires on the 25th

[scenic oar]

So they can't do shit until then?

Or they would get sued?

[last rose]

No clue, most of these Chinese companies don’t seem to care about copyright anyways

[scenic oar]

Copyright doesn't really apply there yeah

I think it doesn't apply, as long it isn't exactly the same

[last rose]

But maybe it’s related to the fact that Anbernic will start selling their devices in Best Buy soon. Maybe they want to start getting bigger in the west and want to do it professionally

[scenic oar]

I can see what is going to happen on YouTube by then

"Buying the NEW BEST BUY CONSOLE! is it any good???"

[last rose]

lol

[scenic oar]

That content is quite lame

[minor tundra]

patents have nothing to do with copyright

[last rose]

Patents is what I meant, sorry

[hardy wraith]

4:3 would be sick though on this

but psp would have black bars

[lost lynx]

screen recording of rg slide

[minor tundra]

anyone familiar with the 557 recognize anything that gives away whether this is a d8300 or not in that vid?

[lost lynx]

If the administrator didn't release any misleading information, it should at least be the t820 chip. It was previously stated that AnbernicAI would only be equipped on the t820 or above.

[minor tundra]

yeah I'm just hoping for t820 over the d8300 for battery + price + gammaOS reasons

[vestal tundra]

what does anbernic AI do?

can it auto translate ero visual novels?

[rocky loom]

640x480 video recording, rip

[heavy thicket]

Should be t820

https://tenor.com/view/aww-yeah-get-over-here-gif-27631439

You talking spicy

[lost lynx]

ah no its 1280x960

[minor tundra]

Or we get two tiers like we did for the 353 line

[heavy thicket]

Even better

[heavy thicket]

Oh yh it's the one alright

[hollow breach]

We're so back

[heavy thicket]

Same leak back to last month

960p 4:3 4'7 120hz

In fact it's even output 960p sounds like a diss to me 😏

[rocky loom]

oh cool thought the recording was as-is, nice

[heavy thicket]

If you know if you know

[lost lynx]

maybe thats the case lol

[vestal tundra]

hmm spicy AI ero text
https://tenor.com/view/drool-spit-homer-the-simpsons-gif-3974820

[shadow sinew]

oh nice, so 4.7" screen is basically confirmed, exciting. I think when closed it could be similar size to RGB 30, of course the screen is wider but on the other hand the controls are hidden:

[heavy thicket]

So anbernic is basically dissing them 👀

[tough hearth]

it could probably do this but you need to tap the screen to advance the next page translation

[steady gust]

That screen is so perfect

[vestal tundra]

so if I were to save $1 per day until new year I should be able to buy V2 of this right?

[heavy thicket]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Anbernic is being cheeky of this 😜

[heavy thicket]

Is it me but I'm seeing 5g 👀

[steady gust]

That's just a Screenshot from his phone not the rgslide

[heavy thicket]

https://tenor.com/view/maybe-im-just-delusional-aura-mayari-rupauls-drag-race-s15e2-maybe-im-wrong-gif-27474185

Sigh one can hope

[flat pivot]

The video is 640x480

[heavy thicket]

Yh he Is right

It's showing 680×480

[flat pivot]

dont you guys have PCs

[heavy thicket]

Now Idk if it's the game itself or something but it's outputting 680×480

[heavy thicket]

Even the phone would tell you that anyway

[flat pivot]

was just wondering how many use discord on mobile. I hate it haha

[heavy thicket]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

But yh if it's saying it's 680×480 but it's 960p panel then it could be a game itself or something is going on

Don't want to alert too much but it's raising questions

[woven gulch]

Oh, so better dpi, nice.

[woven gulch]

I mean, 960p is 2x480, so maybe the recorder program tought, that it is 480p?

[heavy thicket]

Properly yh

I'm not too concerned about it or even worried

Since it's anbernic

[lost lynx]

its compressed by discord

original video is 960p

[flat pivot]

dont make me hope! waiting for some official update.... 🙂

[heavy thicket]

I thought so

[heavy thicket]

Lovely stuff

[misty meadow]

oh my god

the video is 47 seconds long

4.7 inch screen confirmed

[lost lynx]

yeah anbernic staff do blow smoke sometimes
im also waiting

[heavy thicket]

Okay I checked original video it's 1280 × 960p

Rah discord is funny sometimes

It's funny that it actually output 1280 × 960p not a false stuff

[rocky loom]

watch people complain it only runs it at 26fps next

[heavy thicket]

😏

[light oracle]

So H700 confirmed?

[heavy thicket]

🤣🤣🤣

[wicked helm]

were these actually made and sold?

[vestal tundra]

yes, was not sold very well

they sent out sample to some content creators at the time

[wicked helm]

huh, interesting... 🙂

[vestal tundra]

it created some hype at the start, just took too long to put on sale, people just lost interest

later on there was some videos from a chinese OEM accepting order for oddly similar product with little interest, it's on youtube if you can find it

[crystal spear]

Damn the specs are taking time to slide in

[ebon cradle]

Har har har funny joke

[vestal tundra]

anyone finds that funny must be over 40 with at least 2 children

[flat pivot]

damn....3 more years for me

[heavy thicket]

19 more years for me

🤭

[flat pivot]

i give you that, usually Anbernic releases more infos 2-3 days after "teasing" us 🙂

[true goblet]

Anbernic AI? What the hell am I looking at?

[vestal tundra]

seems like auto screen translation of some kind

like the ones people use to play japanese visual novels

[heavy thicket]

It's same anbernic ai that use in rg557

[steady gust]

[heavy thicket]

Wait wait

Hold hold o

Is it g99

👀

[lost lynx]

nonono

[heavy thicket]

Is it t820.or t618

Get me straight because who is lamb

[lost lynx]

lamb is an admin of qq group who often leak some information

maybe anbernic staff

but also blow smoke sometimes

[heavy thicket]

Okay Lamb of the leak

[ocean gate]

I mean, if it's t618 that would be fine, not great, but quite frankly, we would only lose GCN

[lost lynx]

he said something like "we wont use h700 again"

[ocean gate]

but depends on the price naturally, a t618 device in 2025 should be $100

[heavy thicket]

Okay I believe when we see that

[ebon cradle]

I feel like I’ve heard this before

[heavy thicket]

But secondly is lamb actually real that it's t618 or he is playing around

[lost lynx]

but he also said anbernicai is used for t820 and above

i personally believe its t820

[heavy thicket]

It has be t820

Which it's good choice btw

[steady gust]

'All you need to play is a shell and a screen'

[heavy thicket]

He is funny for that

Now I'm thinking about it it can't be t618 because they haven't updated the software for t618

[steady gust]

I have a feeling this will be priced really bad

[heavy thicket]

Oh don't worry it would be 200

Especially if it's actually with 120hz

[steady gust]

If Im not wrong the 'lamb' guy is maxzhou himself and he trolls often so there is still a chance that its more powerful

[heavy thicket]

Well yes but maybe the screen could be true if d8300 can't suit the screen 🤔

[lost lynx]

no

but lamb and maxzhou both troll often

maybe its a kind of company culture

[heavy thicket]

You think they actually right about d8300 not being suitable on this screen

[rocky sigil]

I am now more confused than I was before about which chip is this going to have

sounds like they are saying this will have a weak chip?

man that will be disappointing if so

understandable, but disappointing

(side note, this lamb dude reminds me of Chris from Retroid, same sort of fuckery)

[shadow sinew]

I was suprised that Chris decided to come back, I thought he was leaving after the whole RPmini screen fiasco

[violet fog]

At the cost of what the t618 still sells for.....just give us the t820

[shadow sinew]

I think he is trolling, it's stronger for sure, maybe its T820 (I would also be suprised if it's g99 because it's slightly weaker and they don't have experience with it, unless it's super cheap now or sth)

[violet fog]

I bought my kid a 12" Tablet with a g99 in March......its still a Relatively pricey chip but better than the t606 in his old one for sure

[shadow sinew]

G99 is quite good, I hope we will get it in more mid-range handhelds this year like the (hopefully still) upcoming Helegaly K560

[rocky sigil]

you know, if it's t618, g99 or similar then there's no need for active cooling

yet the teaser does show air vents

it doesn't make much sense

I'm gonna go ahead and choose to believe it's still the d8300 until we see more evidence to the contrary

[violet fog]

T618 had air vents tho right?

At the time

[rocky sigil]

the rp3+ didn't afaicr

[violet fog]

The Anbernic t618 ones did maybe? I joined the hobby with the rp4p lol

[shadow sinew]

I think G99 would still work better with vents, less throttling on higher end systems

[violet fog]

Better Battery life for Long term Playablity and less spicy pillows lol

[rocky sigil]

that's fair, you are right there

[violet fog]

Tell you what tho, 3ds Games on my kids g99 12" tablet are amazing 🤣

[shadow sinew]

I thought they didn't, like rg405M was removing the heat only using its metal shell

[violet fog]

I was asking because I had no clue lol

[lost lynx]

rg405v has air vents

[shadow sinew]

T618 apparently couldnt be Throttled at all

[vestal dirge]

Dont think the 505 did?

[shadow sinew]

But I think it was because they didnt want to put so much heat on the screen

(the chip was right next to it)

[violet fog]

I rather have a Fan, and drain some Battery....than have 0 fan and risk a Spicy pillow faster

[heavy thicket]

Using t618 would be more disappointing than Using g99 or t820 chip

[minor tundra]

I’m fine with t618, g99, or t820

Whatever gets me gammaOS

I’m gonna be using this thing for ps1

[vestal dirge]

For me, if this thing cant do decent PS2 it had better be under a hundred bucks. Otherwise whats even the point?

[minor tundra]

What?

Do you only play pre-ps2 games as a substitute for ps2 games?

[heavy thicket]

I don't disagree but knowing anbernic it would be 100 plus since it's custom panel and it's xperia play clone

[shadow sinew]

Of course it would be more dissapointing, its much worse at PS2 and Gamecube than these two chips. But the other two would be dissapointing as well if we cannot push higher res

[heavy thicket]

Actually nope t820 and g99 is more than fine for me it does the job

[minor tundra]

T820 can play the vast majority of ps2 and gamecube titles at 2x res which is the panel res

[fervent lantern]

it's android so it will be rk3566

[vestal dirge]

If i want to play PS1 I can use one of my actual PSP Go systems. Or any one of the shitzillion other small and weak devices out there.

[heavy thicket]

Exactly

[fervent lantern]

sucks for all the h700 stans

[heavy thicket]

Thank God

[minor tundra]

Pcsx-rearmed was a mistake, it’s made people think the mm+ actually plays ps1 well until you run into the dozens and dozens of games with serious accuracy issues on that emulator

It’s the Yabasanshiro of ps1

If you want to run beetle psx with a crt shader there’s nothing under $100 that can do it

Or standalone duckstation with upscaling

[heavy thicket]

And it's true it's reason why people would buy retroid pocket classic for a reason as well

[minor tundra]

Yeah for me this slide tease + gammaOS for my 406v has put buying the classic on hold

[light oracle]

D8300 or bust , this slots in the high end category so it should have a higher end CPU

[shadow sinew]

OK, so maybe T820 would actually be a good idea after all, probably even more exciting because the price would be cheaper

[heavy thicket]

Actually nope

[minor tundra]

Even if the price were the same for a t820 and a d8300 model id still pick the t820

Better battery, less fan spinning, gammaOS

[flat pivot]

they should just release the specs, come on Anbernic

[heavy thicket]

The problem with d8300 to be real with you is it's doesn't move me enough when it comes to ps2 and gc

[vestal dirge]

Theyll release a gameplay video and we will know.

[heavy thicket]

I know it's silly but more that I learned about rg557 and the chip itself the more in fact you needed high performance mode to get the best performance for a chip should supposed to do it own is bit disappointing

And rg557 sales is not doing hot at the moment

[lavish matrix]

there is RAW power with D8300 but drivers & "right execution on the Code function might be missing"

[heavy thicket]

Exactly and people need to think if anbernic use d8300 people would look at the price and say yh see you later

[minor tundra]

Android is never gonna be actually good for ps2 until we get a properly maintained FOSS ps2 emulator on that OS and I like dolphin on the t820 but it’ll be limited for the same reason on this it is on my 406v - digital triggers.

[minor tundra]

Yeah d8300 for $250+ would be a dealbreaker for me with all the firmware problems

While t820 for $199 or less this could be my endgame with gamma lite on it

[heavy thicket]

Exactly

[minor tundra]

Would replace my rp5 and 406v

[lavish matrix]

Retro life "there is no endgame"

[minor tundra]

While being pocketable enough that I wouldn’t need my 34xx

[heavy thicket]

For me this is my end game

[lavish matrix]

Wanna bet on it

[heavy thicket]

Straight up I don't really need anything else than pc handheld and rg slide

And switch 2

[heavy thicket]

Absolutely

I been waiting for xperia play clone since I was little kid

Retroid pocket mini was close one for me

[minor tundra]

Tablets have replaced larger handhelds for me tbh

For retro stuff anyway

[lavish matrix]

Not related to here, but Samller Ayaneo DS with Snapdragon future, I am waiting for

[minor tundra]

Y700 and 13” iPad

[heavy thicket]

Lenovo making a controller case for previous models would be more sick

[minor tundra]

The new controller case works with gen 2/3/4

I have a gen 2 and I’m 100% gonna buy the case

[lavish matrix]

Lenovo have G9 controller case for y700 2025

[minor tundra]

Yeah the g9 works with the s8+g1 or s8g3 ones as well as the new sd elite one

[lavish matrix]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rqNrFbbP9b4 --- looks sick for sure

[heavy thicket]

But I was thinking tho I do need a pc handheld is it worth for me to get it y700 and controller case

[minor tundra]

Tough to say. If you have a beefy desktop and good in home wifi (and only want to use it at home) there’s an argument any compromises from streaming are less than the compromises from running those pc games on a tdp constrained pc handheld

I dont own a desktop atm, my home wifi sucks, and I do take my ally X outside the home regularly so I couldn’t switch to streaming. Hopefully we get better tools for running steam games on android soon.

[heavy thicket]

Don't even have a pc

[ocean gate]

you can get g99 tablets for 80-120bucks

[misty meadow]

I think if it's lower preformance machine

the lcd screen is justified

[minor tundra]

Oh lol, don’t buy a streaming handheld with no desktop to stream from

[misty meadow]

brand new?

[ocean gate]

yeah

[minor tundra]

I'm in such an awkward spot personally, no interest in playing anything 6th gen or more modern on a handheld so basically anything beyond t618 is just for shaders and saturn

I should say on a retro handheld

[misty meadow]

well in that case anbernic doesn't have much of an excuse to sell it for more than around 110 dollars

[minor tundra]

I'll play GC/PS2 etc on a PC handheld all day

[heavy thicket]

Only I got is my xbox series s and streaming it on the phone btw is pain and error

[heavy thicket]

You are not wrong

[minor tundra]

dedicated 4:3 retro handhelds for me have one job, to open retroarch

[heavy thicket]

Well as long it's full psp for me it would be fine anyway

[minor tundra]

oh man I just realized this screen is perfect for 4:3 NES

integer scales vertically 4x and horizontally 5x

[ocean gate]

Galaxy Tab A9 is probably the cheapest G99 tablet on sale for less than 100bucks + coupons you can end up close to 80, otherwise something like the Doogee T30 Pro is like 110-120 these days, so you can get a fairly powerful tablet for lil money

unfortunately Anbernic probably is going to charge more like 140 for a G99 device

[misty meadow]

Yeah I wanted a Galaxy Tab A9 until I've realized the screen like like 800p

[tough hearth]

https://tenor.com/view/doubt-press-x-la-noire-meme-x-button-gif-19259237

[misty meadow]

a tablet has no business steandecking

[heavy thicket]

You know the main Goal for me is playing classic andorid games and Java games on this including retro gaming like until psp

[heavy thicket]

🤣🤣🤣🤣

[minor tundra]

the y700 is just the no brainer for a mini tablet imo

if you don't want to spend the money on a current gen one, get a gen 2

1600p, s8+g1

[misty meadow]

it costs the same an a legion go 😭

[minor tundra]

the gen 2 definitely does not

[ocean gate]

it's relatively small so the 800p is fine, also the Android build is way better than on those China tablets, so it pulls of GCN surprisingly well at 2x a lot of times

[heavy thicket]

Deffo not

[misty meadow]

I only buy expensive technology used and in facebook marketplace for example they cost the exact same

[minor tundra]

yeah you're looking at people who got scammed buying the western release gen 3 for double the chinese price and expect to pass that scam on to you

the 'I don't know aliexpress exists' tax

[ocean gate]

but yeah if you want to do something like showing pictures to someone, the Doogee is way better with the big high res screen

[misty meadow]

oh yeah FUCK these people, I'm looking at aliexpress rn and the y700 gen 3 costs the same as y700 gen 1 on facebook marketplace USED

[minor tundra]

yeah, and the gen 2 is honestly overkill for most people

its the one I have

[heavy thicket]

Yep yep

[misty meadow]

How well does the 8 gen 1 model run switch and winlator stuff?

is it worth getting an 8 gen 3 instead?

[heavy thicket]

Actually fine especially with the switch

[heavy thicket]

It depends if you can get it cheap

[misty meadow]

what used price point do you recommend looking for?

I don't really know what to look for

and asume it's just a horrible deal to buy cause of the scams

[heavy thicket]

For 8 gen 1 deffo under 300

[shadow sinew]

But why? its an honest question, there's so much different ways that you can stream now, not only from PS5 and Xbox, but also using GeForce Now, Xbox Cloud, Amazon Luna, even PSNow, not everyone like Russ lives on Hawaii to have problems with latency 😄

I am now even streaming Doom Dark Ages to my desktop PC via GeForce Now because I didnt like how it looked and performed

[minor tundra]

can't stand the idea of relying on third party subscription services

[shadow sinew]

That makes sense, but on the other hand I think the cost might be similar to what you would pay for energy bills when streaming from a super high end PC

😉

[heavy thicket]

Xbox cloud is absolutely shit unless you use the thrid party app and playstation I only got good experience with playstation streaming anyway

[minor tundra]

that's actually part of what I'm concerned about - these services are not profitable currently so they're gonna get more aggressive trying to monetize them and they will get worse.

[shadow sinew]

Yeah, thats why I used Geforce Now to stream Doom Dark Ages, my PC handled Oblivion Remastered and Avowed well, but Doom was just too much for it, it seems 😛

Also the problem is I don't want it too look like shit and I can't play Doom below 60fps

[shadow sinew]

Oh, I agree with you philosophy, even the idea that we won't be able to own our games in the future just rent them using services is frightening, but to be honest I kinda like using it now when they are still cheap, especially if I'm on a business trip and far from my pc

[misty meadow]

Would you guys rather use the y700 screen or the odin 2 portal screen? One is lcd 1600p the other amoled 1080p

[minor tundra]

I pick y700

[heavy thicket]

I can't lie y700 is different gravy

[minor tundra]

1600p + 16:10

[shadow sinew]

I think Y700 is more versatile as well

[heavy thicket]

It's same panel as legion go screen

[misty meadow]

I'm a pretty big fan of oled technology and I always considered the odin 2 portal to be the crown jewel of screens but I'm not sure

[heavy thicket]

Don't get me wrong like ayn odin 2 portal is nice and 120hz amen but y700 screen you can't beat

[misty meadow]

what do you say about the rog ally screen? cause I think I much prefer the screen of my switch oled tbh

how much the the legion go beat out the rog ally with it's screen?

[violet fog]

I spent $245 on Amazon because:

1. 12" vs 8"
2. 12gb RAM vs 8 & under, plus better v ram options
3. My kids has a 12k Battery in it, which for him is everything between Games & Videos lol
4. It's a 4k OLED tablet that prob won't need to be upgraded for 2+ Years now

[minor tundra]

the legion go screen is probably the nicest LCD on the market

(same as the y700)

the rog ally screen is kinda mid other than having VRR

big bezels

the problem is the ally X trounces the legion go in every other category

[ebon cradle]

Claw 8/Lego S screen is pretty damn nice

[heavy thicket]

Ally screen is nice nice but it's mid compare to legion go screen

[minor tundra]

fan noise, battery, controls, etc

[ebon cradle]

Plus native landscape

[misty meadow]

It's a much more multifunctional device so there's that

[minor tundra]

I do love the legion go form factor

but I am vehemently against fan noise

to the point where I really hope we get good pluvia/steam for android/winlator/gamehub/something to make playing my steam library on an android handheld easy and seamless (with steam cloud saves)

so I can just use android tablets for indie pc games

[misty meadow]

I'm okay with fan noise since I've always been a desktop gamer. Only thing keeping me from fully commiting to the legion go is the battery life

it is absolutely horrendious

The weight is fine though since I would be using it placed on my lap

no fatique that way

Here's my take, the rog ally x is overall a much better handheld, but the legion go is better as a pc

[minor tundra]

fair

[misty meadow]

And I'm still frabberghasted lenovo never made a keyboard attachment for it

[minor tundra]

I'm sad the go 2 is going down in res though

[minor tundra]

a go style tablet with a keyboard case that attaches via the controller rails would be my everything

[misty meadow]

for oled I think it's worth it

[minor tundra]

as is I've got a y700 with an x5 lite and a folding keyboard

that all fits in a small sling

[misty meadow]

I just cannot justify paying more than 300 dollars for a portable machine that doesn't play pc games

winlater is not good enough

[heavy thicket]

I agree with this

[minor tundra]

yeah I meant a pc tablet like the go

[heavy thicket]

Legion go = good portable pc it's works

But as a handheld it sucks unless you install steam os or bazzite

Compare to Ally

[hollow breach]

There's stuff like that on etsy

[minor tundra]

maybe I should've gotten the go over the ally X since I use bazzite anyway, but the speakers/fan noise/not great dpad scared me off

[heavy thicket]

The speakers could be problem but legion go with bazzite or steam os make more sense it's like true bigger steam deck

[misty meadow]

if bad dpad bothers you just buy the legion go and attach the g8 plus

g8 plus has a really mice vita like dpad

[minor tundra]

doesn't look like it holds it that securely

the go is both thick and tapered

[light oracle]

Which part don’t you agree with ? The D8300 or high end slot ?
I just don’t think with a sliding mechanism even with a lower end CPU and supposedly a custom screen this will be cheap so might as well go all in with something with a bit more performance hellI wouldn’t mind a SD G1 gen 2

[misty meadow]

not with that mindset it doesn't, we need some good old 3d printing and this issue is fixed

[minor tundra]

honestly the go gen 2 might be in my future

it would be the best all in one device for me both modern and retro, I'd probably even use the fps mode since I like vertical mice

[misty meadow]

my future too.. in 5 years

[minor tundra]

🤞 they fix the issues with the gen 1

[misty meadow]

once legion go gen 3 is on the market I can maybe think about getting a gen 2

[light oracle]

Easy there the gen 2 isn’t even out yet

[misty meadow]

yeah I'm just trying to describe how impossible gen 2 is for me

[light oracle]

TBH not even sure if the gen 2 is enough of a upgrade for me personally, yes OLED and bigger battery is nice but kind of underwhelmed with what I’ve seen from the HX370 and expect the same from the Z2

extreme

[misty meadow]

battery life is going to be a major upgrade

which is basically the main issue with the original go

on max tdp it has 40 minutes of battery life which is absolutely unaccaptable

[heavy thicket]

The D8300

[light oracle]

Agree but already have a power bank that kind of negates that , like I said earlier bigger battery and Oled is great but not sure it’s worth whatever the cost is going to be

[minor tundra]

Yeah I should wait for a z3e before replacing my z1e ally X but I also kinda want to switch to the tablet like form factor of the go so I’m conflicted

[light oracle]

Well doesn’t have to be a D8300 but something similar in performance, preferably SD

[misty meadow]

that's exactly what I'm thinking and why I'm not a fan of the ally x

[hollow breach]

Well tbh there's very little benefit to running it past performance mode, 30w doesn't really give you much more performance

[misty meadow]

what is the max tbp recommended?

[hollow breach]

20w iirc

[heavy thicket]

The problem is anbernic is not like retroid or ayn where they change their chip on their device cycle

Secondly d8300 having problems when it comes to firmwares

[misty meadow]

around 1.5 hrs

that's alright

I guess pretty good with a powerbank

[minor tundra]

Snapdragons are overrated. If you get a more open one like the 865 sure but the new G series chips are even more locked down and limited than unisoc

[misty meadow]

snapdragon is only needed for pc gaming and switch gaming

[light oracle]

Will be interesting what final specs are for sure

[minor tundra]

some snapdragons have support from cfw, custom drivers, and other community efforts despite Qualcomm, not because of them

Their laptop chips are even stuck on proprietary windows on arm copilot infested slop

[light oracle]

From the little I’ve seen the G1 gen 2 in the Retroid Classic is pretty decent when it comes to compatibility for the most part but I might be wrong

[minor tundra]

It has a super weak gpu (not that it matters outside of shaders on a stickless handheld) and zero cfw potential

I would have easily paid $50 more for a classic with the 865

As is I would’ve preferred the t820 for gammaOS and a better gpu for shaders

[light oracle]

That’s fair but personally really don’t care for CFW and just use stock firmware , I don’t use these for hours on end so it’s good enough for short play sessions for the most part

[misty meadow]

no way

stickless 865 sounds so stupid

[minor tundra]

Why

[misty meadow]

the power is wasted

[minor tundra]

I’m willing to pay to actually have firmware options, actually run Saturn well on the Saturn themed handheld, and use the good crt shaders instead of only the lowest end ones

It’s $50

To get basically the perfect handheld for all stickless systems rather than a flawed one you’re gonna want to upgrade in a year

[heavy thicket]

You could use hdmi

[minor tundra]

Buy once cry once

I don’t care about ps2 and im willing to pay for a premium experience on older systems

[misty meadow]

are crt shaders really that demanding?

[minor tundra]

Too demanding for the barely there gpu in the classic

The 865 can comfortably run mid tier ones the classic cannot

[fluid verge]

beetle saturn is more demanding than ps2

[minor tundra]

Even it can’t run the super beefy crt shaders

[heavy thicket]

Plus for me you would have ability to dock the device if it was sd865

[minor tundra]

CPU wise yes, gpu wise no

[heavy thicket]

That's why it's big miss when it comes to classic everything is fine but not ability to dock the device is kinda criminal yk

It's little things that makes retroid pocket classic more perfect

[minor tundra]

I don’t even care about the docking but the g1 is so locked down even retroid seems incapable of pushing firmware updates so it never got the back/home button fix the flip 2 got

[misty meadow]

well to be fair you can make the arguement that 865 would still be a good fit for 2d switch titles but then you encounter the issue of the aspect ratio

[minor tundra]

So there’s no way to use the function key for hotkey enable yet

[minor tundra]

I buy retro handhelds to play retro games, a nicer retro handheld is to play those retro games with more accurate emulators, more accurate crt shaders, better controls, better screens etc - not to play more modern games.

There’s nothing wrong with having cpu/gpu power to spare, especially if it means being able to run more stuff on power saver modes for longer battery life

You can make even NES hard to run if you really want the most premium possible experience

[misty meadow]

yeah but having the option to play more modern titles is always nice so your handheld isn't only "retro"

[minor tundra]

Like megabezel shaders in 4K will bring most desktop PCs to their knees, fans spinning up just to play duck hunt

[fluid verge]

i always thought ps2 was retro

[misty meadow]

well if russ were to make a video about a stickless 865 device he woukd likely be very critic of it's lack of sticks

[misty meadow]

it is, but it's more modern than stuff like snes

[heavy thicket]

I mean ps2 is half half way

Retro and modern

[hollow breach]

Ps2 is older than I am

[daring marlin]

its over 20 years old, it's retro now

[heavy thicket]

Same

[fluid verge]

ps2 is like 3 years older than me

[heavy thicket]

Omds

[fluid verge]

Xbox 360 and ps3 were retro pogchamp

[hollow breach]

They're getting there but not yet

[heavy thicket]

Wait how old are you like around 22/21

[fluid verge]

im 22, mostly growing up with xbox 360

[daring marlin]

same

[heavy thicket]

I finally got my age mates 🥹

[misty meadow]

is the wii u a retro console?

[hollow breach]

No

[flat pivot]

Nokia3210 is retro console

[minor tundra]

For my I’ll always have devices that are stick top, widescreen, analog triggers etc for pc games so I don’t need my dedicated retro handhelds to target the same controls/form factor - I need them to target the older stuff that doesn’t work well on an ally X

[heavy thicket]

Mostly I grew up late ps2 era to xbox 360 / ps3 and wii

[minor tundra]

4:3, dpad priority, digital triggers

But that shouldn’t mean I have to buy $60 e-waste

Premium + retro can coexist

[heavy thicket]

Absolutely especially in 2025 we deserve that shit

[misty meadow]

then how come the 3ds is?

[hollow breach]

It's not

It's not even 15 years old yet

[misty meadow]

b-but I like 60 dollar ewaste 😢

[minor tundra]

For me retro = can be emulated well in retroarch instead of needing to juggle the standalone emulator of the week

[fluid verge]

i do experience a bit of ps2 not until i sold it to my cousin because he want to make a ps2 rental with it, i play a lot xbox 360 and snes emulation(znes) on my old pc

[heavy thicket]

Not even 3ds is retro

[hollow breach]

I like standalone emulators better than retroarch ngl

[fluid verge]

but retroarch shaders..

[hollow breach]

Never used them tbh

[daring marlin]

I dont really care for shaders too much, aside from interpolation

[minor tundra]

And hotkey setup, and scaling options…

Not to mention the maintenance and convenience for more obscure systems like Amiga, zx spectrum, sharp 68k

[hollow breach]

Oh yeah I mean I basically let retroarch handle any older systems, but I usually prefer using standalone for psp, 3ds, etc

[minor tundra]

DOSBOX-pure core is a literal godsend for playing ms dos games via gamepad

Something I intend to do a lot on this glorious 4.7” 4:3 screen

https://tenor.com/view/keen-commander-commanderkeen-keen4-keen4e-gif-16075666938857814781

[heavy thicket]

It's mad right people got ps2 around 2007/8 because of ps3 being expensive mf

[heavy thicket]

This is OG experience I'm talking about

[rocky sigil]

it's so good it's criminal

YouTubers are sleeping on it

[fluid verge]

yeah, ps2 still getting big games after ps3 came out, i remember watching meme parody of ps3 being a downfall for sony on the early youtube days.

[heavy thicket]

Man it was so peak xbox 360 was getting love left and right until 2011

[fluid verge]

i agree almost all third party games runs better on xbox 360 than ps3 despite its having a wilder architecture, sadly japanese devs were really struggle on that era

[minor tundra]

lol not the ai render shopped in

I’m curious what colours this will come in

[rocky sigil]

WOODGRAIN

it's time

Anbernic we are ready

[steady gust]

Probably just full black and white. I want the white one

[woven gulch]

Hear me out:
Anbernic RG SliXX

(its an h700)

[rocky linden]

Is it using d8300, t820 or t618?

[steady gust]

Its using anbernics own soc powered by anbernic AI with built in holographic ps3 emulator

[woven gulch]

Btw, i heard, that xiaomi will use their own soc in their next phone. And i belive this has something to do with what you just said.

[minor tundra]

https://tenor.com/view/whatever-shrug-love-lucy-okay-idk-gif-1719229050300372874

lamb on baidu said the d8300 would not be appropriate for the screen and like a 'big horse pulling a little cart'

but he also said it was t618 which couldve been a troll

t820 right in the middle between his t618 joke and his (correct) assessment of the d8300 would be perfect imo

(gammaOS my beloved)

[scenic oar]

Any real pics of the front of the console?

Or not yet?

[minor tundra]

nope

control layout, SoC, battery size, all still mysteries

screen seems to be the only confirmed thing

[scenic oar]

Hope it is Dpad centric.

Like the Xperia

[minor tundra]

same - t820 and dpad centric = might actually dethrone the fat gameboy for me

[scenic oar]

What was the resolution of the original Xperia Play?

Aspect ratio I mean

Resolution probably was low

[minor tundra]

it was 854x480

16:9, same res as the rgb10max3pro

[scenic oar]

And this is confirmed to be 4:3?

[hollow breach]

[minor tundra]

I think it's all but confirmed to be the 4.7" 120hz 1280x960 screen that anbernic staff have been teasing on baidu for months

[heavy thicket]

Plus d8300 need more time right now it's not looking good

[hollow breach]

[edgy hill]

Snapdragon g1 gen1

[heavy thicket]

Man really took rg slide fan off 🤣🤣🤣😭

[minor tundra]

for me this is competing with the rp classic as my next purchase, both on the promise of a better than 406 non-wide screen but pocketable (though chonky) unlike fat gameboy - and firmware is gonna be what determines a winner. Retroid's stock firmware on the classic has issues and there's no hope of custom anything

anbernic's stock firmware always sucks but if this gets a t820 it should get gammaOS

[edgy hill]

What if it had a n150

[minor tundra]

god that would actually be so good

[edgy hill]

Somebody will wise up and use that in a handheld sooner or later

[heavy thicket]

Hey now

I'm not complaining with that

With the right price

Right firmware

With bazzite

I'm there

Until then t820 is enough

[minor tundra]

I think battery life would be poor on the n150 if you tried to actually run anything harder

but also having a truly open full desktop platform you could install anything on would be amazing

[heavy thicket]

True but 7th gen would be enough

[minor tundra]

I wish amd would make an intel n100/n150 competitor at a more efficient process node

'passively cooled n150 tablet but amd version' would be insane

[icy fable]

Oooo. Buddy. So much this

Honestly would be endgame for my travel emulator for sure

Pocketable. Functional without using controller. Plays most of the catalog I'd want on a pocketable on the go device. Etc.

[minor tundra]

I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much, still loads of ways anbernic could mess this up lol

d8300, crappy dpad in a crappy position, etc

[heavy thicket]

The problem is amd and their power watts been a little bit issues for a while

[heavy thicket]

True

[heavy thicket]

I really doubt d8300 would be on this

[hollow breach]

Curse you lamb

[heavy thicket]

No one would buy d8300 rg slide when firmwares is half baked still have issues and need drivers to be the chip great

I do believe that max doesn't want issues with the chip not being program with the screen

[hollow breach]

Weren't most of the Rg557 issues Anbernic's fault though and not due to the D8300

Like the zram allocation and performance mode not doing anything

[heavy thicket]

And that's problem as well anbernic didn't optimized enough because even performance mode is okay now the performance should be more better than we have right now

Hell janky andorid build that some apps don't work

Now good thing that anbernic would release their 407 series so it could get better of optimized with the chip and andorid build

[minor tundra]

I’d be happy if they didn’t do anymore d8300 devices lol

T820 is enough

[heavy thicket]

Lmaooooo

You know they would continue with their d8300 on their next devices

[glad mason]

What’s the point of a 120hz screen on handhelds for android? Feel like it’s just a waste of battery

[heavy thicket]

I would be really surprised if they abandoned their chip tho

[minor tundra]

Lower latency, better motion clarity, smoother pacing on non 60hz systems/roms

[heavy thicket]

And hell you can call your wife faster as well

Just a smoother experience all around

[icy fable]

Just the user experience on Android at 120Hz is much nicer

And this is the first handheld I'd actually consider using the Android experience on. Heh

[minor tundra]

First android handheld id play ms dos games on since most of them are 70hz

[minor tundra]

The only thing else I want other than this to be good, pocketable, and supporting gammaOS is their next gen budget Linux handhelds having good portmaster support (all the libs and drivers needed), being good enough to run full psp at 1x, and them making a psp1000 clone out of it like they did for the og gba and the 34xx

[icy fable]

Id honestly love an x86 tablet with sliding or detachable controllers. Does anything like that exist?

This is basically the phone sized version of that

[minor tundra]

the legion go

[icy fable]

Yeah. I guess the next version is no longer detachable right?

I just play a lot of stuff on steam that can basically be one handed with touch. Would be cool to have something smaller and less awkward than balancing the steam deck on my knee 😆

[hollow breach]

Yeah that and the onexplayer x1/mini are the only options I think

[minor tundra]

https://x-plus.store/products/g-series-amd-ryzen-sign-up-10-5-handheld-tablet-pc-gaming-pc there's this thing

https://x-plus.store/products/g-series1 the intel version is already out

the amd version I linked first is 'coming soon'

but yeah an n95 10.5" legion go clone lol

[hollow breach]

Oh yeah forgot about that, I think eta prime covered it a few months ago

[minor tundra]

1200p

honestly I'd be all over it if the controls had been more retro gaming focused

rather than 'xbox layout but kinda poop'

I keep looking at cheap n100 adjacent laptops, tablets etc for retro gaming but I never find one that has refresh rates better than 60hz which is a bit of a bummer

a 1200p n100 mini laptop would be my ms-dos beast if I could find one that could do 70hz games smoothly

basically I want a lower end gpd pocket 4

[fervent lantern]

can't most displays be oc'd to 70+

[minor tundra]

maybe

[hollow pulsar]

https://tenor.com/view/soon-hamster-gif-4508050

[tough mist]

Maybe someone will drops some QQ or Baidu leaks or whatever Chinese social platform people are scouting

[wanton heron]

most have 18.5:9 tf you on abt

[hollow breach]

Not from what I've seen

[fossil ledge]

A lot of phones have odd resolutions and aspect ratio nowadays. Like the Pixel 9 is 20:9.

It gets even more odd when apps don't use the full display and avoid the screen cutout area.

[smoky bone]

We don’t talk about the psp street

[scenic oar]

Built for hacks

[smoky bone]

Everyone who wants left stick on top for a retro handheld uses analog sticks in Super Mario World. I’ve seen them do it.

[minor tundra]

monsters

they probably played new SMB-wii with the nunchuck

🤮

like come on, this was the way to play a 2d mario game on the wii

brought me right back to my NES days

[unborn storm]

I won't lie, I used to play Sonic with the stick.

But I figured out the dpad was more precise, especially in a fast-paced platformer

[scenic oar]

Filthy casuals that only play shooters on the PS5.

And never actually used a Dpad on their lives

[fossil ledge]

Ngl this thing was a pain to hold sideways. Classic Controller is the way to go.

[minor tundra]

you wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me

[fossil ledge]

It's not even about the corners. It's the uneven back when held sideways.

[icy fable]

Right? Like anything is better ergos then anything I grew up with 😆

Yeah. It is awkward for sure

The diff in thickness

But honestly I forgot about it after the first 10 min

[minor tundra]

yeah I would spend all day playing new super mario bros with a sideways wiimote

[unborn storm]

The closest thing today might be playing mobile games sideways. Except worse because it's a touchscreen and not buttons

[smoky bone]

I used to play Smash Bros Brawl with a Wii-mote on its side

[smoky bone]

Yes like this but on smash bros hahaha

[minor tundra]

Gross lol

I lived with some tryhard roommates so the smash bros brawl controllers were all gamecube ones

[smoky bone]

I think a 3:2 would have been great for this form factor

[smoky bone]

Me too, they got rid of brawl and swore by Melee only until this day

[minor tundra]

I’d rather have it perfect for dozens of systems designed around TVs or computer monitors, good enough for gameboy and gba, and kinda bad for psp rather than “good enough” for dozens of systems designed around TVs and monitors and psp, perfect for gba, and kinda bad for gameboy

Adding a slight compromise to every single home console just to partially mitigate the compromise for psp is a bad trade imo

[fossil ledge]

If it can do perfect PSP I'd rather have 16:9 tbh.

And I would use it for some Android games too, which would kinda suck with a 4:3 screen.

[scenic oar]

From what we have experienced with the Zero 28 for example, yeah 4:3 is ass

[kindred timber]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzphzDAlc_M

[kindred timber]

4.7 inches screen, probably not OLED as they didn't mention it, 120Hz refresh rate

[misty meadow]

I knew it

[karmic garden]

It looks so good ahhhh

[misty meadow]

I called for 4.7 because it was huge and then some of yall were like "erm chinese woman hands small"

[crude galleon]

Welcome to the past

[karmic garden]

4.7" is gonna feel mahoosive

In a good way

[kindred timber]

i bet it's a T820 inside

[crude galleon]

Really feels like a phone of the 2010s

[karmic garden]

120hz i said god damn

[misty meadow]

Okay I think It's clear as night and day I'm choosing this over the rgb50

bezels are unimpressive but it's still a nice form factor

[kindred timber]

RGB50's coming next year

[heavy thicket]

Yep 120hz

@minor tundra

We are back baby

[misty meadow]

the psp go finally has a big brother

technically speaking the psp go is still relevant if you want a small psp capable machine but for all of us big boy lovers this is gonna he amazing

[heavy thicket]

Deja vu hello old small phone 🥹

[crude galleon]

Seems like the evolution of the sony xperia

[kindred timber]

It looks like an HTC my touch IMO

[fossil hare]

That really does just look like a phone. I honestly don't mind that, there's probably Android games and some JRPGs I'd play with touchscreen.

T820 seems likely but I'd love something better in there. Also need the dimensions to know how thick it is but seems like a winner to me.

[crude galleon]

That too

[tacit knoll]

What a fat boy, looks endearing, me wants.

[kindred timber]

thinking that if this have T820, GammaNext will be available soon for it

That would be awesome !

[daring marlin]

I like it, surprised that they went with symmetrical sticks , really thought it was gonna go the other way

[misty meadow]

I am happy they chose symetrical sticks

this will be more of a retro focused machine anyway

[daring marlin]

Same, just assumed they'd go stick top since that's what they do for their upper end devices aside from the v

[kindred timber]

Yeah and very pocketable for a good amount of power

Only thing i'm afraid of are the small buttons, sticks and ergonomics

[misty meadow]

welp, time to calculate the dimensions of this thick boy

[weak heron]

Yup this will be my 4:3

Almost caved and bought that 405m

[daring marlin]

One thing I like is how it seems like they're using membrane d pad and buttons

[safe wave]

Oooh

[heavy thicket]

So sexyyyyyy

[tacit knoll]

150*90 mm aprox

[heavy thicket]

I want it I want it nowwwww

[misty meadow]

okay something aint right, every calculation I do results in this thing being 15cm wide, which is as wide as my phone, I don't believe this

[weak heron]

Did not think my first 120hz android would be an anbernic

[misty meadow]

oh, you came up with the same calculations

[heavy thicket]

I WANT IT NOWWWW

It's so sexy

[tacit knoll]

Yes, it's similar so a S25 phone in length, but wider

[heavy thicket]

Lmaooo

[heavy thicket]

Do they know 🤣

[naive citrus]

Is it 4:3 or 3:2?

[daring marlin]

Very 4:3

[heavy thicket]

4:3

Now the chip is left

[pine smelt]

Does T820 as power as 865?or 845?

[heavy thicket]

It's showing god of war 2 so it would be hopefully t820

[tough hearth]

plot “twist”

[crystal spear]

All that and they decided to play subway surfers

[heavy thicket]

Nope but it's like sd845/d900 power but it shows more raw power than both of them

[heavy thicket]

Oiii I haven't seen this phone since

[tough hearth]

haha, I had one yearrrrrs ago

[tacit knoll]

Shit, my phone has a taller screen than this thing, how would I justify it now? 😱

[heavy thicket]

Well easy pretend it is 2011

[tacit knoll]

Good advice

[misty meadow]

Alright, this is the rg slide compared to my new 3ds xl, I gotta saw the rg slide has super chonky bezels, but it's actually pretty much the same size

this is actually all I've even dreamed of

[heavy thicket]

Yep min i saw it I was like yhh no problem

[misty meadow]

Like lets be fair, if this was a horizontal handheld instead of sliding noone would complain about the bezels

the bezels the very least are small enough that you couldn't actually fit any controls in there

[light olive]

https://youtu.be/RzphzDAlc_M?si=eBgBsovZoEiLZY4C

HOLY SHIT!

[uncut agate]

Little late to the party lol

[heavy thicket]

Need to be quicker than that cuz

[uncut agate]

^^^

[heavy thicket]

What I like this is this is definition of gaming phone

[uncut agate]

https://tenor.com/view/oh-you-almost-had-it-gif-15513592529407908643

[random mountain]

If this thing runs Rocknix and has sd865 or better, I’m sold.

[heavy thicket]

Oh

[misty meadow]

can you guys believe the screen size for gba on this thing is actually bigger than on the odin 2 mini?

[heavy thicket]

Should we tell him

[misty meadow]

pretty crazy

[violet fog]

T820

It's their thing

[heavy thicket]

It's crazy oh last time all company like retroid, powkiddy and anbernic use same chip was two years ago

[violet fog]

🤯

T618 days, b4 I joined the hobby

[heavy thicket]

Yhhh

[weak heron]

Isnt it 4.7” and the O2M 5”

[heavy ocean]

So what are the two button-like thingy next to the speakers?

[worldly spire]

the subway surfers handheld is finally here.

[tough mist]

Buttons or rubber stops ( to not scratch the screen when you lay it down flat) ? (Not sure)

[lusty acorn]

Holy shit! I’m very excited for this device, day 1 buy for me (or I could buy the new VMU for now),

Or later

[lavish matrix]

Very concern about battery & hours it will last during gameplay & standby

[ruby spear]

https://tenor.com/view/grito-ahhhh-hongo-gif-20006750

What’s the chipset

[heavy thicket]

If it t820 we blessed if it t618 we still blessing

[tough mist]

Unironically thinking about slapping a telescopic controller in it to play 3DS

[ruby spear]

https://tenor.com/view/djkhaled-another-one-anotherone-gif-4905376

If it’s t820 we have gammaaaaaaaaaaa

[crystal spear]

RK3326

[lavish matrix]

Sure its D8300, Anbernic playbook

[misty meadow]

Clearly you don't know how screens work, but I'l explain. There is a big difference between aspect ratio between both screens which means for gba specifically the rg slide is going to have a 4.5 inch screen area for gba and the odin 2 mini is going to have a 4.4 inch screen size

[ruby spear]

https://tenor.com/view/terry-crews-negro-please-mad-gif-14065944

[heavy thicket]

Well yes but no

[ruby spear]

It’s G100 🤣

or T7250 🤣

[heavy thicket]

T1000

[lavish matrix]

If they are using smartphone battery, we have hopes for 6000 Mah then its gonna be okay

[crystal spear]

T619

[ruby spear]

https://tenor.com/view/terminator-terminator-robot-looking-flex-cool-robot-gif-16625083

[crystal spear]

Battery should be huge considering the size

[ruby spear]

Should be if it’s gonna be a heatsink

[lavish matrix]

I still need GammaOS for nothing else but privacy reasons

[heavy thicket]

What if they surprise us and say it's G99

[crystal spear]

You login onto your hamhel with main account?

[violet fog]

I need Gamma OS to fix the Cardinal Snapping this is absolutely about to ship with

[heavy thicket]

I need gamma os for battery life

And longgggggg battery lfiw

[weak heron]

Who said anything about gba. The odin screen is barely bigger

[ruby spear]

I prefer the G100

[misty meadow]

@weak heron I literally mentioned gba

[heavy thicket]

G101

[weak heron]

I gotchu

[blazing bison]

Yesssssssssss

[lavish matrix]

Small sticks from RG557 makes sense here in RG Slide

[fossil ledge]

Ok yeah this looks...kinda big

[heavy ocean]

Imagine with telescopic controller attached..probably won't hold stable enough because of the curve

[lavish matrix]

Choice of 4:3 is still odd, Not a complain but Is 16:9 future models incoming? Maybe anbernic on new design philosophy

[misty meadow]

honestly a 16:9 slide device would have made more sense but imo this is good enough where I think I don't mind it

[fervent lantern]

what are the little pill shaped stuff at the front

next to the speakers

[fossil ledge]

Has it been shown or confirmed whether or not it has analog triggers?

[lavish matrix]

Doesn't look like it

[ruby spear]

Except that’s not a real chip. The G100 is

[fossil ledge]

Hmm...
That's not very attractive then.

[honest peak]

I sense a flood of Anbernic releases coming in second half of this year

[lavish matrix]

They were calm for 4 months, now be ready for the floods

Within 40 days they have announced 4 already

[misty meadow]

I've expanded the screen of the rg slide in the shell, the shell could apparently house a 5.4 inch 15:9 display

[lavish matrix]

If only my friend, If only it were true

[misty meadow]

Honestly I don't want to be bitching until the end of times about problems with devices so I'm just going to say even with the massive bezels I am actually very impressed by this device

[flat pivot]

screens also have internal bezels, mostly a fine metal frame. so you cant mount it inside directly below a round shape

[lavish matrix]

Well said, steps in right direction

[rocky loom]

so how big is this vs other anbernic 4:3 devices

[flat pivot]

can anybody calculate from the screen size how big the device will be slided in / slided out?

[heavy thicket]

Not even g102 🤭

[lavish matrix]

If i am guessing it right, it might be back & home buttons

[ocean gate]

it's pretty fun how they use a screen clearly not made for a phone without bezels and just slap it into the device without a care in the world for it to be centered... chonky bottom bezel

[safe wave]

Just need specs and price 😄

[heavy thicket]

Yh I love it

[fossil ledge]

In one of the Chinese chats that were posted above somewhere, didn't he say that that the D8300 is too much for this screen? Maybe it's a hint that they'll make a 16:9 version with the 8300

[flat pivot]

this makes sense. so you can use the device slided in just like a tablet

[heavy thicket]

Yep

[ocean gate]

I really hope it's a t820

[flat pivot]

possible, if it sells well

[ocean gate]

but given how god of war II ran... ehhh

[heavy thicket]

It would be t820 or something less

But t820 would be easy choice

[lavish matrix]

Does it look kids friendly to anyone? Kinda big or maybe heavy

[ocean gate]

yeah no, wouldn't give that to a kid tbh

shame we didn't got a spec sheet

[misty meadow]

even if you're right they could have easily fit a 3:2 screen in the shell with enough bezel remaining

[lavish matrix]

Maybe Slide v2 will learn from mistake and improve

[misty meadow]

there is no excuse for that

[heavy thicket]

Kids friendly hell no

[ruby spear]

Isn’t incell lcd the screen of the iPhone SE 2020

[misty meadow]

kid friendly and sliding mechanisms don't go well with each other

[ruby spear]

Non of these are kids friendly 🤣

[ocean gate]

who knows, but that wasn't 4:3 I guess

[daring marlin]

At the price it's probably going to go for it most certainly is not kid friendly

[lavish matrix]

RP3 & RP4 were iphone screen not this

[hardy steeple]

disappointed that it's not a 16:9 aspect ratio

[lavish matrix]

I like the ergo placement of buttons & sticks atleast

[ocean gate]

well, that was to be expected with what we have seen already

like I actually thought this would be more square, but yeah, chunky bottom bezel explains that, I guess

[hardy steeple]

true, it's just such a strange decision to make a PSP go like device and not have a screen that fits PSP games well

[daring marlin]

I'm fine with it for the most part but it looks to still be a good screen

[flat pivot]

did the math, device should be around 15,5 x 9,1 cm (not exactly). so sizewise similiar to RG cube

[ocean gate]

you get 4.3" at 2.7x not ideal but ehh

[ocean gate]

yeah we already done that based on the 4.7" panel alone a while ago, tho we compared to rgb30

[tough hearth]

they gonna go from 1 to 2 releases per month 😂

[violet fog]

https://tenor.com/view/dj-khaled-another-one-one-more-time-gif-4816107

[rocky loom]

cant wait for the h700 rg xxlide

[lavish matrix]

wouldn't it be Slide XX

[ocean gate]

rgSLIDExx let's gooooo

4", h700

no sticks

[lavish matrix]

To be honest, I wouldn't mind a cheaper version of this

We need to move from Vertical & Horizontal Candy Bar eventually

Flip-y & Slide-y things needs to come banging with designs

So when we go back to our original we feel Nostalgia

[rocky loom]

im still disappointed the cube xx wasnt called rg X³

[tough hearth]

I'm gonna ask them for this

[ocean gate]

next: rgTWIST
with the 720x720 panel 😂

[tough hearth]

slidexx, with a cheap screen

[ocean gate]

would be nice if they started using the 406v/h screen in their lower tier devices now

[rocky loom]

why have to decide between horizontal and vertical

[ocean gate]

especially as the competition is going to #1342191309959463027

[tough mist]

That’s the wrong orientation, you gotta do it vertically ;))

[ocean gate]

that would be fun too, snapping out the controls like that

[hollow breach]

Holy shit the 4.7 inch screen is real

[rain wraith]

Comes down to the power of the systems it supports, 4:3 makes more sense outside of psp and psp go fans will still buy it anyway due to the looks. 😄

[rocky loom]

wonder how much wider this will be than my 28xx
tho obv it will be taller and thicker

[ocean gate]

expect about 20mm tbh

[rocky loom]

not too bad considering the 28xx itself is just small

[ocean gate]

rgb30 should be pretty close to the size of the Slide

[rocky loom]

fancy

[heavy thicket]

4'7 would be fine for psp

[willow cove]

This is what PSP should look like on that display if you don't use integer scaling

Although I'm still excited for this I really hope they release another 16:9 version in the future

[heavy thicket]

That's even fine I'm leaving with something

I'm around the way

[ocean gate]

put it further down, to center the used area with the bigger bottom bezel

[willow cove]

better or worse?

[ocean gate]

better

[heavy thicket]

It's look fine

I guess im the problem

[rocky loom]

cant wait for grips on this amirite

[heavy thicket]

Eww

[ruby spear]

Why didnt they do 16:9 though 🤣

[vestal tundra]

the logic of buying ultra portable thins then put a big ass grip on it making it un-portable than other more comfortable things

[ruby spear]

These have fan holes right?

[random mountain]

3:2 is the best compromise.

[rocky loom]

ye

[ruby spear]

passively cooled only

[hollow breach]

Because you can take the grip off when you don't need it and put it back on when you do

[ebon cradle]

[vestal tundra]

your name... changed?

[rocky loom]

those grips are 2 independent plugs for, other uses

[vestal tundra]

where is the rg slide fan part?

[hollow breach]

Depends on spec information

Lamb's statements have left me skeptical

[vestal tundra]

so you took that off as a protest

[ebon cradle]

It’s H700 I knew it

[rocky loom]

between her fingers?

[ruby spear]

Now I want a gun shaped grip for handhelds

[rocky loom]

new anbernic retro gunheld console

[ruby spear]

https://tenor.com/view/cocking-pistol-john-wick-keanu-reeves-john-wick-chapter-4-jw4-gif-590414316889814301

Off to the 3d software

[lavish matrix]

It has indented sticks & Fans.... Where the hell is battery

[rocky loom]

probably off one side or something

[heavy thicket]

The question is why not 3:2

I bet it's t618 or T820

[ruby spear]

[rocky loom]

ah yes the freedom case

[safe wave]

i'd be very content if it is t820

[ruby spear]

or t7250

[heavy thicket]

Why they do that when t820 is better

[ruby spear]

Because they don’t want old specs they use rebranded cpu 🤣 = new

[willow cove]

So... PSP should be 4.3 inches on that display... which is exactly the same size as the original PSP's display.

[heavy thicket]

Plus it's worse than t618 doesn't make sense

[heavy thicket]

4:3 16:9

If we are talking about psp go

[willow cove]

4.3 inches when displaying 16:9 content

[ruby spear]

G100 = Rebranded G99
T7250 = Rebranded T615 basically T616/T618 🤣

[willow cove]

I really hope it's not the T618... (or equivalent)

[ruby spear]

Passively cooled so it needs a cooler chip

[tall quiver]

T618 or T620

[ruby spear]

T620 😂

[heavy thicket]

T820 would be fine
