ANBERNIC RG Vita, RG Vita Pro

[frail wadi]

ngl I would have liked a Vita with a d8300 but it is what it is

[terse parrot]

The Odin 2 Mini got annoyingly warm. I don't think this Vita form factor would be good for anything too powerful tbf

[hallow willow]

sooo what's our source and what's this legit info we're working with?

[tawny lynx]

Joey's Twitter

[terse parrot]

Joey seems confident. No reason for him to lie.

[next storm]

https://tenor.com/view/friends-joey-tribbiani-matt-le-blanc-wink-gif-15694137

[tawny lynx]

What if he was given fake info though

[terse parrot]

If he's wrong then he gets ~2 weeks of attention and then the rest of his career with everyone non trusting him

[frail wadi]

now you are reaching

[terse parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/dumb-and-dumber-lloyd-theres-a-chance-jim-carrey-gif-11098164

[hallow willow]

sooooo 1 person and 1 tweet 😄 glad to see we're running with it as a gospel truth based on that xD

[radiant kettle]

i doubt anyone would care that much if he got it wrong

[hallow willow]

I like and respect Joey but come on now 😄

[kindred widget]

Pretty much

I wanted this to be Anbernic's O2 Mini

But with the correct stick placement

[tawny lynx]

I just find it crazy that they would use a t618 in this tbh

[kindred widget]

T820 minimum

[hallow willow]

t820 is evil and is useless though if you listen to some 😄

[kindred widget]

Sure we'll all groan because its a T820 but still

[terse parrot]

T820 is in my beloved RG476H right?

[radiant kettle]

stage 3: bargaining

[kindred widget]

Yes

And everyone likes that one

[terse parrot]

Bangin' handheld

Doubt it plays Vita tho lol

[kindred widget]

But thats more or less because of the device's features and form factor rather than the T820 itself I feel

[terse parrot]

Yeah, i like it cause it's 4:3 120hz and can handle BFI and CRT shaders

GammaOS

[hallow willow]

think psidozer did a bunch of testing with vita with t820 and had good success, but it involves listening to him so 😄

[terse parrot]

In ftn's stream last night, Gamma did say GammaOS would return on the RG Vita... But then he said (possibly) lol so maybe he knows the chip or maybe he doesn't

[kindred widget]

I think return would suggest that he's familiar with the chip and so it's possible that he already has something for it

Stage 4: delusion

[spring island]

See what the chip is but if it does end being poor what’s the pitch over just buying a used oled vita 🤣

[kindred widget]

Maybe the RG Vita can do other stuff

[spring island]

Warm your hands maybe

[kindred widget]

Man I hope so

Its cold in Florida at the moment

[hallow willow]

the hacked vita is awesome but emulation wise it is limited. Still the best bet for vita though

[terse parrot]

He's well known for basically fixing Anbernic's T618 builds 😅

[lusty adder]

Anbernic RG Moto incoming

It's not over until the Russian guy leaks the chip.

But it's fun to troll it lol

[smoky igloo]

Rg Vita = SD 200

Rg Vita Pro = SD 400

[lusty adder]

Rg Vita = H700

Rg Vita Pro = RK3568

[vapid flax]

show me h700 running vita

[naive prairie]

I think we're just all here to clown on Anbernic, right? No one needs to buy this thing.

[terse parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/peter-griffin-perhaps-family-guy-thinking-gif-13587558

[kindred widget]

I mean if it had the 8300 I'd be first in line to purchase it

[terse parrot]

Jump in the line, juggle your balls in time

[naive prairie]

And if wishes were fishes, we'd all cast nets.

[quick cloak]

I'm only here until the Two Dream becomes a reality

[smoky igloo]

No one "Needs" to buy any if these things

We are here to discuss how hard anbernic about to drop this ball

[kindred widget]

So far it isn't looking too hot but what if (in a universe where this is possible which clearly this one isn't) it's the T820 and D8300

[naive prairie]

So yeah ... we're here to clown on Anbernic.

[kindred widget]

Yea

I just need Anbernic to drop devices faster

[sharp kayak]

https://tenor.com/view/happy-excited-dance-beetlejuice-winonaryder-gif-4945338

[kindred widget]

Maybe this next one will be a hit

[naive prairie]

Needs that slot machine in borderlands that tosses a grenade at you instead of loot. "Boom time!"

[sly rock]

as long as this can handle PSP and GBA I'll bef ine

[sour olive]

The thing is, what does he gain from lying? We already know they've sent reviewers some units.

[vapid flax]

anbernic is such a gamble type of company

they can either make the stupidest handhelds or absolute amazing masterpieces

why are they like this?

[sour olive]

https://tenor.com/view/spooderman-aww-dang-it-dang-it-shoot-gif-11637503222132746347

[kindred widget]

BECAUSE WE LOVE GAMBLING

[hallow willow]

they're like this because they know they aren't threatened 😄

[kindred widget]

They're the Nintendo of handheld companies

People just buy whatever they release

[hallow willow]

a few hundred redditors and angry discord people won't change how they function, it hasnt for years 😄

[vapid flax]

why does moorechip keep making banger after banger? their only bad handhelds were the retroid pocket mini v1 and the odin 2 mini

they very rarely even fuck up

[sour olive]

Anbernic is the Mid of Handhelds

[hallow willow]

and hard to even say those were 'bad' either. The mini fiasco was a clusterfuck but that didnt make the device terrible either 😄

[quick cloak]

Really, I'm fairly certain Anbernic strategy is quantity over quality

[vapid flax]

aside from the screen issues which were probably remedied in a software patch and the huge bezels they are fine handhelds

[quick cloak]

Seems like a company that has a giant velcro wall and they all go jump on it and see what sticks

Their ideas are like that meme where the drawing starts as a really good horse and turns into a stick figure

[sour olive]

Anbernic going to release the RG Vita with an RK3288 like it's 2015

[vapid flax]

drawing starts really good horse, then a stick figure, than a really good horse again

[quick cloak]

Just bad horse dick then idk

Need better mid horse energy

[fading condor]

i just like the design :^(

[kindred widget]

Same

Guess I gotta wait for the RG Vita Super Pro

[vapid flax]

their rg477m was probably the best handheld they've ever created

huge screen, strong chip, and it's still pocketable

[sly rock]

helps that the RP MINI is discontinued

[kindred widget]

And it's 270 ish bucks iirc

[kindred widget]

Mini V3 is otw

[sly rock]

are you serious or joking?

[vapid flax]

naah 4.7 inch 120hz screen is much better than lg wing screen I'M SORRY

[kindred widget]

Thats the most likely case

[sly rock]

Oh

[kindred widget]

We are due for the mortgage screen this year

[sly rock]

as long as they make fun colors out of it

[vapid flax]

retroid pocket mini 2 could very well de throne the rg477m

but I feel like they are gonna put ergonomic bumps on it that will make it like 32mm thick

like they did with the mini v2

is the mini v2 even pocketable? It's quite thick

[sly rock]

I thought the original already had ergonomic bumps?

[sour olive]

https://tenor.com/view/extra-thicc-extra-thicc-thick-extra-thick-gif-21812607

[near maple]

as long as they make it*

[raw ice]

The og odin 2 had a very mediocre screen, the rp classic controls are too low, the rp5, g2, and rp6 sticks are all too close to the other controls

The og odin had shell cracking issues, flip 1 and 2 had hinge issues, flip 2 and Thor trigger shape sucks

[tawny lynx]

Most of those just come down to preference tbh

Or they're outshined by the positives

[vapid flax]

those are all minor problems luckly

[sour olive]

That seems more like a you problem to be honest

[raw ice]

Yes, I broke those hinges myself, snuck into other people’s homes via the dryer vent like a rat to do it too

[near maple]

I knew it!

[kindred widget]

These are fair criticisms actually

[sour olive]

The sticks placement is preferance though

[raw ice]

Sprinkled ghosting dust on the odin 2 LCDs at the factory

[tawny lynx]

Also the best price to performance at the time

[vapid flax]

broken hinges mostly exagerated, noone makes a post about how good their hinge is but if a single one fails it's gonna be all over everywhere, the rp flip 1 did have a really bad hinge though

[near maple]

Hardly, some people are just shit out of luck with that.

[raw ice]

I care way more about screens and controls than specs, otherwise I’d just be using a desktop pc

[vapid flax]

as long as they are nice about returns I wouldn't mind a broken hinge actually

[sour olive]

Time to make sure every unit @vapid flax gets comes with a Broken Hinge

https://tenor.com/view/bobs-burgers-louise-laughing-crazy-hell-hath-no-fury-gif-4994261710691180401

[vapid flax]

laptop hinges are mostly always solid, I don't know what's up with handheld companies

[sly rock]

https://tenor.com/view/metal-gear-solid-snake-huh-kept-you-waiting-huh-big-boss-gif-8511432494893653427

[tawny lynx]

For all anbernic's faults they seem to make solid hinges compared to other companies, I have to give them that

I still don't know why Ayn and Retroid aren't using stepless hinges

[kindred widget]

The Thor hinge hasn't had any issues afaik

[tawny lynx]

I've seen a couple, hard to say whether those are outliers or not though rn

[sour olive]

The RG DS Hinge seems to be good

I haven't heard anyone have issues

I think RG35XXSP and RG34XXSP are good as well

[frail wadi]

because they make more money selling handhelds to tiktok normies

[naive prairie]

Were you the one who added the extra input lag to the Odin 2?

[raw ice]

https://tenor.com/view/waltergotme-gif-18867690

[teal sonnet]

IDK man I’ve had the O2 since launch and think the screen is pretty good and have not noticed any ghosting , they either used a different batch of screens after a while or Im just too dumb to notice .

Probably more the later

[kindred widget]

Yea I agree with the latter

[teal sonnet]

Go juggle some balls

[wicked idol]

I just tend to assume people blow any problems out of proportion on the internet and the actual issues are not all that bad. Hasn’t been a mistake yet.

[naive prairie]

Some people aren't bothered as much by ghosting. If you aren't, then just be happy that it doesn't bother you. Also depends on what types of games you're playing as to whether it might cause an actual gameplay problem.

Kinda like input lag and PWM.

[tight hare]

I wonder what the specs on this are going to be since the Vita was one of my favorite handhelds for so darn long.... and I've got a Thor that I haven't even set up yet..... FFS...

[sacred narwhal]

But it should be documented and acknowledge, if the devices have things like ghosting, input lag and PWM.

[kindred widget]

Uhhh

Shaping up to be underpowered

[tight hare]

then hard pass sadly most likely

[whole ice]

Set up your Thor. Guaranteed better experience

[fair citrus]

rg ds that can’t play ds 🤝 rg vita that can’t play vita

[kindred widget]

Yep

[wicked idol]

Honestly love my vita, also had an O2 mini I never should have sold. This is like a successor to that handheld for me.

[lusty adder]

It's peak retro

[sour olive]

The GPD XD Plus was so good for the time

[fervent nexus]

Gamma OS is going to have to save this one as well huh...

Anbernic keeping him busy

[lusty adder]

Remember thos PAP K3 handhelds ? They're literally going back to that with this handheld lol

[naive prairie]

We’re going to party with the T618 like it’s 2022!

At least you could run that off two AA batteries.

[sour olive]

Balls Anbernic Failed

[fading condor]

What does it mean 😬 tell me balls

[kindred widget]

He had the pro model with GammaOS on it

One on the top right

In other words he's already Gammaing all over the device

[sour olive]

At this point, Anbernic should just hire Gamma to make sure every new handheld comes with GammaOS preinstalled

[fading condor]

Is it time to give up hope 😔

[kindred widget]

For the T820/8300 dream?

It will all be well

[sour olive]

I remember Allwinner

[devout canopy]

No active cooling for an 8 Elite goes brrrr

[kindred widget]

Passive cooling

[frail wadi]

aren't there 8 elite phones without active cooling?

you'd get aggressively throttled if you pushed it, but it could be done

[lusty adder]

It's water cooled

[undone hemlock]

They shouldn't

[sly rock]

Gonna be depressed if this thing can emulate psp at 1x upscale

Though I don't think Anbernic makes as powerful handhelds compared to retroid

[frail wadi]

should handle PSP well

think Mangmi Air X

[quick cloak]

Yes, we believe the Vita will play PSP pretty well okay

[sly rock]

Ohhh

[kindred widget]

Their 8300 line is the high end line

[devout canopy]

I demand a t820 in the base, end of discussion

[kindred widget]

Same

@keen heath so far it looks up they're cooking up yet another underpowered handheld

[keen heath]

I was just skimming this very chat 😂😂😂

[kindred widget]

Assuming the smidgens of info we gathered hold true that is

[keen heath]

Any chance @sick lynx has any thoughts on this.

Or is he strictly Mangmi?

[naive prairie]

Recycled GammaOS from the RG505… 🙃

[kindred widget]

He's already said his piece on Anbernic

[keen heath]

Damn I missed it

[limber hull]

Damn y’all can talk a lot about a product with zero specs releases

[ivory tangle]

You should've see us in the RG DS channel in the beginning.

[kindred widget]

Either we're being baited hard or we're just fucked

No in between

[naive prairie]

It’s Anbernic. You know what the answer is.

[frail wadi]

abandon hope

[kindred widget]

Hope

That's what my answer is

[acoustic bobcat]

Baitbernic

[sour olive]

He said he wants to juggle RG Vita's Balls

[kindred widget]

Nah he said something along the lines of finding it weird why Anbernic seemingly doesn't seem to be pressured by the rampant competition.

That's because people buy their products anyway.

[sly rock]

TIL

[kindred widget]

If you couldn't tell their high end line is super premium and everyone talks about them a lot

[sly rock]

I wished they have snap dragon but I've heard that snapdragon doesn't deal with people who sell pirated games on their handhelds

[kindred widget]

That's just a theory

Every other handheld company that uses snapdragon doesn't sell SD cards pre-loaded with roms, while Anbernic doesn't use Snapdragon, but does sell SD cards with games

[keen heath]

Yeah anbernic ain't getting snapdragon

[raw ice]

I wish anbernic would stop including games regardless of Qualcomm

[near maple]

They did, right? Then they immediately shipped some rom downloader.

I could do without the preinstalled emulators.

[acoustic bobcat]

I don't have a problem with things being already installed if I can get rid of them easily. It's there for people who want it and gone in 5 minutes for people that want to install their own curated list

[sly rock]

Ohh

[acoustic bobcat]

ROMs being there is something a lot of people want. I bet over 80% of people in the hobby straight up have no idea where to get the roms and just play whatever is included

[thick orchid]

this better run PSP 2x perfect

[sly rock]

This reminds me it was Yuzu or some other switch emulator tried to lock behind the breath of the wild sequel behind a pay wall and you get to play it early on their emulator

Nintendo we're not pleased

[next storm]

better library anyway

[sly rock]

Agreed otherwise it would compete with trim UI smart pro

[thick orchid]

I HATE YOU. for how right you are 😭

[kindred widget]

We'd be lucky if it can

[thick orchid]

why vita you have such a poor library

[kindred widget]

It gave me peak therefore the Vita clears

[thick orchid]

i will still take this over trimui tbh. Had their CC sized one, broke in like 2 months, brick which i hated, smart pro which was just.........."flawed"? granted i bought the smart pro when it was 100 not 50

[thick orchid]

one of the best games ever imo

[sly rock]

Ohh I have the trim UI smart pro was working fine more or less

man TRIM UI Smart pro sticks are more diagonal than the RG VITA

[devout canopy]

I call it now, the base RG Vita will be a TrimUI Smart Pro S, same screen, same SoC, no active cooling, therefore worse

[sly rock]

as god intended!

[devout canopy]

Vita Pro, still same 1280x720p screen, but t620 or something something, maybe Helio G80 as in the e-waste handheld we have seen recently

but that won't be $100 but $130

[sly rock]

Lmao

[kindred widget]

150 base 185 pro

I lub anbernic pricing its sho gud

[quick cloak]

Hey this is glass front entry level pricing we're talking about here

Everyone hated glass fronts until they made a Vita that plays PSP

Makes most sense actually

[kindred widget]

Everyone?

[stray saffron]

Speak for yourself, I still hate glass fronts

[lusty adder]

We just reached what would be the obvious conclusion when we saw the announment but after an hour we remembered it's Anbernic lol

[sly rock]

since when was there glass front handhelds in pre 2012s?

[sly rock]

It's blank for me

[kindred widget]

Bruh

[burnt vector]

Yep. I love the Vita, but never liked the glass front. I also very much prefer the feel of the Vita 2k though, and that's not just because of the glass front on the 1k.

[lusty adder]

But sir , can i play Dante's Inferno on the Vita that plays PSP ?

[quick cloak]

You can play Burunyan-Man

[lusty adder]

Not interested in the RG Porn

[quick cloak]

Suit yourself

[sly rock]

I am

[quick cloak]

Ummm, there wasn't?

[sly rock]

Since you were implying that everyone hated glass fronts until the vita plays PSP emulation

[quick cloak]

I just mean no one really complaining about the glass front on this

[stray saffron]

Then allow me to introduce you to the Powkiddy RGB10 Max 2.

[sly rock]

Oh get what you mean now, yeah you're right about the RG VITA

[sly rock]

Ohh I remember this

[sly rock]

WAIT A DANG MINUTE

[quick cloak]

This happened?!

I mean, sure it did

[stray saffron]

It sure did lol

[high junco]

Hey wait a minu--

[sour olive]

The issue isn't even them not having Snapdragon

The Dimensity 8300 is powerful enough yet they're not using it

[tawny lynx]

I think they realized that'd put them in direct competition with the rp6 and they're not winning that

[sour olive]

We're not asking for a Dimensity 9500

It would be nice though

[kindred widget]

I just wanted this to be Anbernic's version of the Odin 2 Mini

[sour olive]

You have to juggle the Boss's Balls for that

[frail wadi]

they just kinda gave up

"welp, we can't beat Retroid or AYN, let's do something else"

that "something else" has worked for them so I guess you can't fault them

[mystic bison]

Atleast we can get Linux for rockchip too bad it’s gonna be mediatek and unisco

[left hazel]

I might be in the minority but I would love for one of them to be a rockchip, I would love a 16:9 linux handheld for portmaster thats not my Powkiddy X55

[mystic bison]

Mediatek and Unisoc stans are confusing

[sly rock]

Man even the vita had better colors than the RG VITA

[thick orchid]

where my aqua blue vita

[naive prairie]

A lot of the Vita colors stayed in Japan. (Same thing with the PSP, but the PSP was way more popular so even outside of Japan we got some colors)

[sly rock]

on the bright side Retroid pocket 6 copied some interesting PSP Colors

not the exact colors but close enough

[naive prairie]

The Madden blue PSP would have been a good choice.

Metallic blue ... I think the 1000 might have come in the same color, but I have the Madden edition 2000 myself.

[sly rock]

Ohh yeah

[next storm]

man. i love these colors. but odin 3.

[sly rock]

Odin 3 transluscent blue looks nice

[sour olive]

If this is set to release next week, when are we getting news on the specs and price?

[normal ether]

^

[sacred narwhal]

RG477V was teased on 12/2, Specs reveal on 12/15 and release on 12/20. Most Anbernic follow a similar pattern

[raven sierra]

They don’t have time for the usual launch schedule if they want to ship before CNY shutdown next week

I wouldn’t be surprised if it drops next Monday

[fossil rose]

Things are being done quicker because their holiday is coming up!

That's why they've already sent the review units, I guess because a tighter schedule before things all close up has to be met

[sour olive]

That's what I've heard

[fossil rose]

My review units are already on the way, so it can't be long before specs are shared with the public

[undone hemlock]

I wouldn’t be surprised if it dropped Friday

[raven sierra]

The promo video shows 10w charging at the back, but this has 18w, so there's chance of not being t618?

[undone hemlock]

Is this yours?

[raven sierra]

Nope

[undone hemlock]

If it is 18w then good

Still looks like it’s the same size as an RP5, that’s an instant no for me

[tawny lynx]

Huh, their d8300 handhelds have 27w charging. So it's not a t820 or a d8300, but rather a secret third thing

That's a good sign though

[undone hemlock]

The slow ass charging on my 476H is one of the two downsides to that device

[tawny lynx]

Yeah that's my least favorite thing about their t820 handhelds

[undone hemlock]

Still trying to figure out the exhaust grill with no fan intake

[tawny lynx]

Liquid metal obviously

[undone hemlock]

I wish they’d stop with the start and select buttons being in the bottom corner

My other complaint about the 476H, but that translates to almost every other handheld

I hope I doesn’t have that shit 5.5” screen

Look I’m not a screen snob but that’s a piss poor OLED

[terse parrot]

The promo video showed the back of the non-Pro device, rumoured to be the T618. This'll be the back of the Pro device, rumoured to be the RK3576.

[undone hemlock]

Isn’t that the slightly inferior version of the RGDS chip?

[terse parrot]

Nah that's the RK3568 I believe

[raven sierra]

But it does not has Pro printed on it?

[terse parrot]

The RK3576 hasn't been in a handheld yet

[undone hemlock]

How bad is that chip?

Like compared to a T820

[terse parrot]

True...

[mortal island]

Equivalent to T618, roughly

[undone hemlock]

The fuck is that “pro”?

[terse parrot]

We found one video on YouTube where some guy tested... I think it was a router or network switch lol with that chip, it got half speed in Spidermam 3 on PS2 , and dipped into the 40s on this BMX GC gamme

[mortal island]

IDK, some specs have clearmy changed, look at this

#1468184660474593300 message

18W now instead of 10

[terse parrot]

It'll support both Linux and Android, and maybe they'll include more RAM/storage.

[undone hemlock]

Yes this is what we’re in fact discussing right now actually

[terse parrot]

But yeah if what Joey's said is true (and no reason for him to lie) then this isn't gonna be very powerful

[mortal island]

I meant to say that maybe some spec got changed

[terse parrot]

#1468184660474593300 message

[terse parrot]

#1468184660474593300 message

[tawny lynx]

That chip selection is so random though

[undone hemlock]

It’s Anbernic

[tawny lynx]

Idk man

[undone hemlock]

Anbernic uses what they can get for dirt cheap

[tawny lynx]

Besides old stock would they even have any t618s left

[mortal island]

Video out is also another thing. T618 doesn't support video out it seems

[undone hemlock]

Nor does T620 either

Which is another thing

Anbernic boasted video put on the RGDS yet use the second screen via HDMI

[mortal island]

That's not even true

[undone hemlock]

Discord search is just trash on mobile

[mortal island]

If it was actually HDMI we'd see some bulky conversion to hdmi and back to mipi, cause both screens are identical

And we'd see more delay, on par with retroid second screen addon

[undone hemlock]

The RDS doesn’t work on Anbernic handhelds

Mainly because the RDS is jank

[mortal island]

It's wonky yeah, especially that cable

That's probably the main drawback

[undone hemlock]

In fact GammaOS hates it a lot

It’ll freeze when plugged in and then crash when unplugged

Like a kernel panic on iOS

Stock just ignores it existence

Maybe one day I can turn my 476H into a proper RGDS

Hey Anbernic

Make DS add on with the 4.7” screen

-# that was in fact a challenge

That would sell out in seconds like that Samsung trifold

-# seriously who the fuck bought those things at full msrp?

There was no trade in offers on the trifold

[mortal island]

It's either debt or Samsung had under 10K units at launch

[heavy cargo]

Booooo! Go back to the PSP go and do it right this time.

[hardy parcel]

The Go's battery is abysmal

[mortal island]

RG Slide but instead of 4:3 put 16:9. There's more than enough space

Looking at what Max recently shared though, they're going the other way, for some reason

[near locust]

I need a slim version of the rg slide with a more wide screen

[ornate flare]

When do we usually get more information from Anbernic?

[raven sierra]

6pm local time...so if there’s a new video, it should drop in about two hours

[short goblet]

time for the country music jingle

[fading condor]

Can I at least hope it'll be able to be charged on a current tech USB c setup and not be like the older devices needing 5v

[terse parrot]

All their Android devices support that. It's just the XX Linux ones that are picky

[fading condor]

well that's good, i absolutely hate that

[stray saffron]

Another little SOC hint for the Vita Pro, from the Knulli OS Discord:

[short goblet]

https://tenor.com/view/death-note-keikaku-dori-keikaku-dori-death-gif-19559967

[stray saffron]

At the moment Knulli is supported on the H700 and A133P, and is in development for the RK3566, A523, and SD865 if that gives you any indication of what the processor in the Pro might be.

[blissful parcel]

Day 1 GammaOS

[mighty pumice]

So still t618 and rk3576 (pro) I guess 👀

Rk3576 feels like a older/weaker a311d (but fabbed on newer node)

[hallow willow]

what are we angry at today, folks 😄

[fading condor]

anbernic 🙂

[radiant kettle]

anbernic 🙂

honestly, if they can make this budget enough i don't think it's a terrible idea, my first impression was as an rp6 competitor which is just ridiculous

[hallow willow]

anbernic? 🙂

yeah, an rp6 competitor is just not happening 😄 556 vs the pocket 4 pro was a least slightly competitive as they had different strengths but 8 gen 2 at that price isnt being beat

Better they just try to carve out niches

[terse parrot]

Kinda wanna get the Pro for Portmaster support... But kinda wanna get the Non-pro for the Black model with black/white buttons...

[hallow willow]

i gotta see specs, price and reviews before i think about it. I dont have much interest in portmaster these days but it would be nice to have something with a bit more power for portmaster without horrible drawbacks (cough gameforce ace, cough rg552, cough) 😄

[devout canopy]

we all expecting a SD865 now?

[fading condor]

Gotta cope

[sick lynx]

Anbernic using Snapdragon chip. I will be very surprised???

[hallow willow]

has anyone said we are? 😄

[devout canopy]

well, A523 would be incredibly disappointing

[quaint mirage]

Man I hate May 23th

[radiant kettle]

i love july 00th

[mortal island]

3576 is close to 3566, so probably that

[agile plume]

3576 is actually quite a bit stronger, would get me excited for SP refresh

It should be ok for up to DC/PSP

[quaint mirage]

Yeah wasn’t it like somewhere in the middle between the 3566 and 3588

[mortal island]

I mean close , as in OS support requirements

[agile plume]

Yes and closer to 3588

[quaint mirage]

So performance sounds good, now we only need to find out about efficiency, heat, charging and price

[slate drum]

I wonder if this thing is them trying to figure out which chip will be chosen for the successor of the RG XX line.

[wispy geode]

H701

[slate drum]

Surely they're going to run out of H700s at some point... right?

[wispy geode]

They're single handedly pushing the production of H700 chips

[ornate flare]

Wait so you mean we might actually get new information today?

I was just wondering in general how long we usually wait until we get new information from Anbernic (but hey this is better)😜😜

[kindred widget]

Well it isn't like Mangmi where you go weeks without info

[raven sierra]

It's past 6 PM over there, so no video today. Maybe tomorrow?

[ornate flare]

Are they really this quick. I thought we had to wait MONTHS before they give us new information 🤣

[naive prairie]

Usually Anbernic is "We got this new thing, buy it now". The RG DS was different for them.

[hallow willow]

thats just retroid and mangmi 😄

[naive prairie]

Kinda makes sense - because a lot of Anbernic stuff is, shall we say, not of the finest quality and the longer you give people to think about it the less they buy.

[raw ice]

Anbernic hasn’t released a budget device since the 34xxSP and has done like 5 t820 or d8300 devices in a row and now they do one more budget device and everyone is doing the Patrick “now I’m going to starve” and “anbernic has given up”

[naive prairie]

I think it's that we're disappointed that it's a "budget" Vita clone, when the Vita was a premium, powerful system.

[raw ice]

The vita was a system with no games that people bought to emulate ps1 and gba on

[kindred widget]

I dont mind that they do a budget device but why did that budget device coincidentally happen to be my favorite design

[ornate flare]

Wait I thought this Vita handheld would use at least D8300 or T820.
Do you think it will use a worse CPU?😲

[kindred widget]

We might be uber cooked on that front

[raw ice]

I think you might be happy with the pro but the base is gonna be the new psp machine

[naive prairie]

Nope, it's going to be a "budget" device with chips much weaker than the T820.

[kindred widget]

Unless the pro has the 8300 I am gonna be sad

[ornate flare]

Bruh... For me it was either this handheld or 476H. I guess I will but the 476H then😅

[kindred widget]

Thats the obvious choice

[ornate flare]

I've heard that D8300 is an overheating mess

[kindred widget]

Well no but actually yes

[naive prairie]

One of them has 18W charging, the other one has 10W charging. It's not a D8300.

[mighty pumice]

d8300 overheats? its on 4nm (N4P) and is relatively weak/smaller chip compared to the flagship chip like d9300 also on the same node.

[naive prairie]

The D8300 itself is fine. The D8300 in Anbernic's hands is more problematic (looks over at RG557).

[blissful parcel]

eh, I think the Linux/Portmaster crowd will be happy with it, as long as the price is right

[kindred widget]

And Anbernic has a recent history of pricing things correctly right? Right?

[kindred widget]

557 💔💔

[ornate flare]

It will be at least $199!😜

[naive prairie]

I may as well do an "RG Vita" video and whip out an RG505, then?

Playing Borderlands 2 on the RG505 was kinda like playing it on an actual Vita. It's so much better on, well, most other devices out now though.

[umbral pagoda]

People just don't like old things. Celebrating a weaker 662 chip and a slightly worse G90T chip and hating on the T618

oh no

[radiant kettle]

give us the numbers 🥺

just find the choice of soc weird if its really a t618 and rk3576, pro won't really be much pro

[tribal sonnet]

100$ for collection

[naive prairie]

I think the problem right now is that there really isn't anything to be excited about right now in this space other than lower prices. Does anyone need another SD8G2, SD865, T618, T820, etc. unless it's dirt cheap?

[mortal island]

Too much

[naive prairie]

I mean ... we've done dual screens now. What's left?

[kindred widget]

I need something that can do PS2 GC and Wii

Thats about it

[radiant kettle]

yes, i need my thor and portal 2 to arrive

[kindred widget]

More sliding devices

[radiant kettle]

these companies don't have the resources to pack something as tightly as a psp go

[naive prairie]

Well instead of another slider, we're getting another candybar SD8G2 (and close to SD8G2) in the RP6 and RPG2.

I want retroid to do a single screen Flip 3

[radiant kettle]

as techdweeb says all handhelds evolve to crab and the odin shape is just what works for most people

[tribal sonnet]

by buying steam deck and forget

[hallow willow]

we prob need the ps3 emulator to make bigger inroads than more direct power

[naive prairie]

AS I sit here with my Steam Deck playing Trails of Mana ...

[mortal island]

That's part of it of course

[kindred widget]

Whats that I hear?

[hallow willow]

as much as i love the Deck it's a little underpowered for most people

[kindred widget]

Moar powa?

[radiant kettle]

i bought a steam deck two years and a half ago lmao, bought like 30 other handhelds since

[hallow willow]

fuck i feel old now 😄

[naive prairie]

Gotta say that my PC handhelds get way more use for actual gaming than the Android/ARM Linux ones. Comfort is a thing.

[radiant kettle]

right now i do more streaming to my rp5 and flip 2 than anything

i wanna get more into retro gaming this year though

[naive prairie]

That's the thing ... I pretty much can't hold a Retroid for more than twenty minutes without hand cramps. I can hold an Xbox Ally X or Steam Deck basically indefinitely.

[radiant kettle]

i'm not too bothered by the ergos of the rp5, even without a grip

but most of the time i'm playing visual novels or something similar, not very involved

[kindred widget]

Retroid suxs at ergos

[radiant kettle]

the trimui smart pro is legit a lot more comfortable than the half assed ergos retroid does

[spiral mauve]

Also yawning at RG Vita I’m fine with black bars

[kindred widget]

Only winner was the Mini

Everyone seems to like that one from a hand feel

[radiant kettle]

honestly i actually like holding the flip 2

[short goblet]

flip 2 feels nice but the angle is weird

[radiant kettle]

having the screen up top is such an improvement in ergo, separate from your hand-crampy ergo

[radiant kettle]

i ordered the accessories pack with my thor and i kinda regret it

maybe i should have just got the tpu shell

[mortal island]

406H still out of stock, for like a month. is anbernic planning anything for that or 476H replaced it completely

[hallow willow]

thats a shame 🙁 i still use my 406h daily

[mortal island]

Two funny pictures from anbernic store

[lone imp]

WHAT

ive emulated vita games. this is not worth the trouble unless anbernic donated heavily to vita3k development to unlock the entire library

borderlands 2, tokyo xanadu, sao:hr... they all seem fine at first and start insta crashing at around the 10-20 hour mark

[ornate flare]

If it does have D8300 I might get this instead of 476H.

[undone hemlock]

Doubtful

[lone imp]

maybe it will be the first g99 unit, marking anbernic's leap into the el cheapo directx 11 gaming crowd

[ornate flare]

Is g99 better than T820?🤔

[lone imp]

at anything above dx9 for x86, yes. in most emulation, no

[ornate flare]

Dam so T820 would still be better with GameCube and PS2 emulation?😲

[lone imp]

the t820 can only bruteforce late dx9 and up, scoring a whopping 3fps in left4dead 2 and payday

yeah, it's better at emulation

[ornate flare]

I have no interest in DX9 games since I already have Odin 2 Max that handles all that. Just need a bit smaller handheld for emulation 😅

[lone imp]

g99 can muscle through the tougher wii games like Call of Duty: Black Ops, and some of the heavier ps2 games at 1x. it's not bad. it's just not going to impress people who want upresed ps2/gc or nothing at all

[ornate flare]

Ahh well then,I guess I will order 476H!

[quick cloak]

I see one on AE rn for 130

With coupon restock

[ornate flare]

It won't probably show up, since AliExpress have for some restricted some countries (Finland)😔
But could you link so I can try it out? 🙏

[lone imp]

i have a cube and an 556. I've definitely explored all they can do in 3ds, vita, gc, ps2, wii, wii-u, switch, and x86. now they're just in the "how often do i replace the battery?" loop

[radiant kettle]

(this is the rg vita thread)

[quaint mirage]

do we think anbernic is gonna do a rk3576 vita for 100 bucks

[radiant kettle]

oh okay it's on topic

[quaint mirage]

needed this for reference to gauge pricing

[radiant kettle]

no, i don't think so

[quaint mirage]

I think anbernic will do less ram an do a similar price

[quick cloak]

Glass front means money

Glass front rockchip as someone said

[radiant kettle]

the rg glass jaw

[lone imp]

i say it's going to be ~g99 or t620 for base, and t820 for pro. anything weaker than g99 will hit the wall mid-vita library

100 and maybe 150-200 for base/pro

[hallow willow]

200 will be doa entirely

[radiant kettle]

i don't think they have any expectation for you to play vita on their vita clone

[lone imp]

they expected gba on their gba clones, and ds on their ds clone. it's kind of sensible

[hallow willow]

vita emulation ain't that great though?

[quaint mirage]

ye

at this point ps3 and wii u are gonna overtake it

[cunning bane]

one thing is not doing pressure sensitive buttons for ps2, and another is not having a back touchpad for vita, which i doubt much of anything actually has that

[devout plinth]

the real question is: are there exclusive vita games that worth playing? or just another saturn situation, most games just better played on something else

[short goblet]

I think Saturn had more exclusives than the Vita

[hallow willow]

There are in my eyes but prob not enough for me to miss emulation. I have a modded vita already soo

[lone imp]

vita has that one madoka magicka soulslike that will get you banned on youtube if you post emulation gameplay lol

[cunning bane]

as in right now, or during their time

cuz hasn't most important vita stuff already been ported

[lone imp]

the exclusives are kinda weird

[hallow willow]

wait what lol

[cunning bane]

literally the only vita game i've ever wanted to play is monkey ball banana splitz

[lone imp]

yeah, it's weird. you get instaflagged and your channel is locked till you delete it. game is cursed i guess

[devout plinth]

I don't know anyone irl that has/had a vita or seen one irl 😆

[short goblet]

most of the library also on PC/PS4

[coral cliff]

any video about this device yet ?

[lone imp]

i somewhat miss my original white vita

was pretty good for Marvel vs. Capcom 3 and Dead or Alive 5

[devout plinth]

you can play those on something else

[hallow willow]

vita emulation at least reliable emulation is still a while away so i wouldnt expect these for that

more weird anbernic naming 😄

Just going to confuse the masses who cant be bothered to research

[kindred widget]

Gib name

[cunning bane]

it's apparently the battle pentagram

[cunning bane]

trying to find why it's "banned" tho

[kindred widget]

Mine now

[lone imp]

it's not banned. was just never released in the states. my guess if you post footage, you need to edit out all copyright material which is every anime cell when characters talk

[kindred widget]

Not to mention my GOAT remains vita exclusive

[cunning bane]

ohhhh so it's copyright stuff gotcha

[hallow willow]

i should get that downloaded onto mine 😄

Otherwise you end up with this

[coral cliff]

if you're short on budget i think getting a vita and hack it would be the best way to enjoy

Imo the best bang for your buck console is probably the Wii U

You mod that thing and you have access to every Nintendo console that came before it

I have some saved I my cart for 80 to 100 bucks at most

[kindred widget]

130 is the most since that one is still in the original box

[coral cliff]

thanks, i'll look around again to see if i can get a decent one with good pricing

[kindred widget]

I'm on ebay for that

[normal ether]

Ooo wii u, i have mine stock still because i cant find others on fb

Vitas around here are selling for like $200, crazy

i have a 3ds xl smash bros version ive been thinking about selling, it is nice tho

[coral cliff]

My vita❤️

[frail wadi]

you can safely order your 476h

[frail wadi]

it's Anbernic so it'll be $120-130 for no reason

[cunning bane]

could be $110 + their "shipping costs"

[frail wadi]

right

[teal sonnet]

TBH non of these has me interested

[hallow willow]

how many of those are even released?

[frail wadi]

almost none

I don't get why people are so into the magicx lore when they almost never ship

[teal sonnet]

I stopped paying attention to Magic X as they like to make mockups but never really release anything worth getting

[hallow willow]

ah good, so these arent relevent to even add to a discussion, good 😄

[lusty adder]

My Vita ❤️

If for some reason the pro comes with a chip capable of Vita , what games are you guys playing ?

[frail wadi]

took my rp5 out of the drawer today, haven't used it in a while with all the new releases lately

honestly it's still a really nice handheld, and not much bigger than the ps vita

consider revisiting your old handhelds before caving in on a new but underpowered one

[lilac bramble]

even on my actual vita, i mostly played PSP games, since most Vita games were multiplat anyways, I played their PC versions.

i just want a vita shaped android device

[naive prairie]

If you want a Vita shaped Android device and you missed out on the Odin 2 Mini, this isn't going to be better.

[tawny lynx]

Monster hunter my goat

[lusty adder]

Odin 2 Mini was a great handheld but a bit on the unnaffordable side tbh

The Vita Pro could be a cheaper option even though it wouldn't have driver optimization

[lilac bramble]

we dont even know the specs of this thing yet

and odin 2 mini has analog stick over dpad, and thats nasty to me

[quaint mirage]

that's why they're gone

[ornate flare]

Do Anbernic usually have some kind of sales during Chinese New year?🤔🤔

[mortal island]

Yep

(nope)

[ornate flare]

1% off?!? HUGE DEAL!

[mortal island]

Let's say, uh, it's a giant, I'm gonna let you say, but I think it's the biggest deal ever made (does weird gestures with hands)

[teal sonnet]

They can’t even give a whole dollar off , that’s pathetic

[mortal island]

they're doing $1.47 off for some reason

[teal sonnet]

That’s more than 1% , math is hard for Max

[terse parrot]

That's plain ol' stonks if you ask me

[burnt vector]

This thing is coasting almost entirely on being the only properly oval shaped handheld aside from the Odin 2 Mini. I will never stop being asshurt over the superior RP6 that was stolen from us...

[fading condor]

1% stronk

[naive prairie]

Well, we do know that one variant only supports slow charging (10W) and is fanless, while the other one supports 18W and is apparently also fanless. This suggests that neither one is going to be competitive with any of the current middle-range handhelds.

Make it a little larger but same ergo to fit the 4.7 120hz 4:3 in there too!?

[raw ice]

There are no 4:3 OLEDs

[rugged bear]

I need an rg arc that can use the bettle saturn core perfectly

But I'll wait for this vita too ngl

[teal sonnet]

And somehow fit in the new 4.7” screen , personally still hoping and waiting for the 477H

[spring island]

I wouldn’t fancy playing much stick games on it

[rugged bear]

The only console I'm using rn is the RG Slide for now

For the PS2 games the romset I have can run at full speed

[lusty adder]

That's the one i want as well
I got excited for a second with the Vita because even though it's not 4.7" i love that form factor but then all hope was lost lol

There was a picture of the back of a real device that said 18W charging. However, it just says "RG Vita" on the back, not "RG Vita Pro"

Anbernic's video showed the back of a device showing 10W charging, specifically in the non-pro part.

[devout canopy]

In the end they source the Microsoft Surface Duo screen

[terse parrot]

I think Anbernic just didn't print "pro" on the back of the pro, but who knows

[ember steppe]

then the same chip as rg 556?

[terse parrot]

Nah we know it supports Linux

Joey says it's the RK3576, and has no reason to lie, but that's not confirmed

Linux support is confirmed though by the Knulli team

[ember steppe]

oh thats nice

[lusty adder]

The pro is the RK3576 ?

I thought that back picture was of the base 😅

[terse parrot]

It might be! But that would mean Anbernic put the wrong details in their own video, which is unlikely lol

But yeah the picture doesn't say "pro"...

[ember steppe]

these look like hall joysticks

i might pass on this one though

[frail wadi]

I wouldn't even be mad, that'd be amazing

[ember steppe]

looks nice though

[frail wadi]

almost certainly that this is the case

base t618 10w, pro rk3576 18w

[ember steppe]

how good is RK3576?

[frail wadi]

that's basically it, fits perfectly with what we know re. fast GammaOS and Knulli support

[frail wadi]

a wee bit better than the t618 but marginally

basically "the t618 and a bag of chips"

[ember steppe]

are there any handhelds with RK3576 already?

[frail wadi]

nope

[quick cloak]

This rockchip was destined for glass front baby

[ember steppe]

so better than the RG505?

[terse parrot]

This is all we have lol. It does PS2 at half speed and GC at around 40fps (albiet only tested with one game each) https://youtu.be/11RMjsy0hWg?si=yz_Mh82D2jRBcpzI

[terse parrot]

People in here have said it's a slower CPU but faster GPU

So there may be some emulation scenarios where the non-pro is better than the pro lol

[ember steppe]

interesting, but performance hopefully will be better on linux, no?
(these tests are android no?)

[terse parrot]

Might do yeah, no Google services to hog any RAM

[ember steppe]

lets just hope

[terse parrot]

Gamma also said GammaOS is day 1

[ember steppe]

oof, the goat

[terse parrot]

So we can have Android without Google services there too

[ember steppe]

i love the build quality of the recent anbernic devices

hopefully this will be the same as the recent ones

i like my RG 556 but it really feels like cheap plastic in hand compared to the RG 477V

[untold hazel]

People will be disappointed big time

Powers my white Danish ass

[kindred widget]

Can confirm his ass is very white

[frail wadi]

balls were juggled

[kindred widget]

Cheeks were played with while he slept

[lusty adder]

Hope wasn't abandoned , it was murdered

[kindred widget]

By Anbernic

For the Anbillionth time

[devout canopy]

Anything less than a t820 and Anbernic can keep this tbh

[kindred widget]

Dawg I don't think the T820 is in the cards

The 8300 seems to be a pipe dream now

[ember steppe]

imagine pro is just more ram and probably 5500 battery

[kindred widget]

Pretty much

[ember steppe]

just ram i think

[next storm]

[ember steppe]

no chance for dual boot right?

because i was gonna say storage but doesn't seem like it

[inner parrot]

Unisoc or Dimensity prolly wouldn't get Linux attention... if there is a Rockchip one, maybe though

[terse parrot]

The Pro's confirmed to have Linux support #1468184660474593300 message

[terse parrot]

Depends on if Knulli can be booted from the sd card or not 🤔

[inner parrot]

Interesting, maybe it is a Rockchip then

[lusty adder]

T820 base and D8300 Pro are the only logical possibilities

https://tenor.com/view/copium-copium-od-copium-overdose-overdose-twitch-gif-9006779378751968406

[acoustic bobcat]

No way people are still unsure if another anbernic release is going to be shit or not

[lusty adder]

I think we're mostly trolling tbh

[naive prairie]

Clowning on Anbernic never goes out of style.

[lusty adder]

We have more fun clowing them than with their handhelds at this point.

[inner parrot]

So the Pro model will be Snapdragon 8 gen 3 running Arch Linux Arm-based SteamOS then? 🤪

[hardy parcel]

For that they will send you a unit that can barely run DS

[acoustic bobcat]

If this doesn't have Z2E I am never buying anything from scambernic

[undone hemlock]

That’s a fever dream

[teal sonnet]

A Vita that can't play Vita games is such a Max move

[kindred widget]

We should be giving Boss Yang flak

He's the head of the snake

[lusty adder]

Unfathomaly based

[high junco]

It would be incredibly lame if it does end up that way

Send anbernic back to unremarkable model name hell if so

[tribal sonnet]

would like to had vita for indies

[devout plinth]

Any idiot can build a bridge that stands, but it takes an engineer to build a bridge that barely stands

[little crescent]

This is rg ds conspiracy all over again

[shrewd dome]

chiming in here: Why would you want a bridge that barely stands?

[little crescent]

https://tenor.com/view/copium-copium-od-copium-overdose-overdose-twitch-gif-9006779378751968406

[little crescent]

For the fun of it

[hardy parcel]

Imagine if the rg vita has more power to run ds and 3ds compared the rg ds lol

[shrewd dome]

I sure hope it has more power than the rg ds. Doesnt that have a h700 in it?

[little crescent]

That is long dead

[shrewd dome]

can you get a vita for a resonable price these days? And is it just as easy to mod as the psp1-3k?

[devout plinth]

cost, civil engineering is doing the good enough job for minimal cost

[hardy parcel]

Modding is easy

Price

Ehhh

[kindred widget]

Price varies

[hardy parcel]

Prob better than the 3ds scene

[kindred widget]

You might have some luck with Japanese Vita's on ebay

[lone imp]

(checks the price of premodded vitas)

200-240usd

[shrewd dome]

I have a modded 3ds.

[lone imp]

at that point, get a win600 and play the x86 versions of the vita library

[shrewd dome]

yeah, or get a 1L PC (MicroPC) and emulate there.

it just wouldnt be handheld.

[lone imp]

i've been personally playing a lot on a lenovo t495(r5-3500u) i scored for 80usd and filled with a battery, ram, and an ssd

[naive prairie]

Who needs to buy a "premodded" Vita anyway?

[lone imp]

someone who just wants to add games and play

[kindred widget]

Who buys premodded anything

[lone imp]

premodded switch lites are a gold mine.

[naive prairie]

I mean ... it's not like the Vita needs a hardware mod like, say, most Switches.

Just buy vita and an sd2vita for cheap storage and done.

[shrewd dome]

yeah I have a switch lite laying around, I mean who doesnt-- thank you Covid..

[fossil rose]

So, so, so many people. There's no need to gatekeep, if someone's less technically minded then someone else has done the work for them

Literally becomes pick-up-and-play

...for a price

[lusty adder]

The RG Gate

[naive prairie]

If you can figure out how to get games and put games onto an already modded Vita, you can probably mod said Vita.

[coral cliff]

Btw what’s the size of this device?

Same size as vita?

[lusty adder]

I think the Pro may be smaller , closer to the Vita size

[frail wadi]

this is an argument Max tried to unironically make in his chinese shitposts

[coral cliff]

I was abit confused when I look at the ambernic video, was it optical illusion or pro is smaller.

But it was pro. Hmmmm?? Why didn’t it named mini instead

There’s no size detail release yet right?

[lusty adder]

I got confused too but even with the angle the Pro seems the be a bit more compact

Pro is definitely smaller

[devout plinth]

nah, looks like they put the pro further away from the camera

[lusty adder]

Smaller

Can someone with photoshop angle the grey and white one on top of another so we can check ? 😆

[devout plinth]

I'm pretty sure the non-pro is much closer to the camera then the pro

there's no shadow from the shelf on the non-pro

[naive prairie]

I don't think there's any way that Anbernic is going to make two RG Vitas with one being ever so slightly smaller than the other. It's an optical illusion.

[devout plinth]

plastic injection molding is like 30-50k usd per part 🤷‍♂️

it's illogical to make separate molding just for the hell of it

[twilit egret]

rg vita : 1 tf slot. OS seems to boot from emmc (probably android)
rg vita pro : 2 tf slot. very likely to boot from tf1 slot(maybe linux). if so, it all makes sense with knulli. (acmeplus said knulli will support the 'rg vita pro' not 'rg vita')
or, well, it's a simply rendering image.

[naive prairie]

Goes along with the T618 / RK3576 leaks

[undone hemlock]

Oh

No internal storage

That’s an interesting choice

[near maple]

No? The 353 family was like that. Tiny storage, but internal nonetheless. Not like Anbernic could get away with loading Android from SD with the cards they've been using anyway.

[sly rock]

I wonder if the Vita or the 3ds has better invite game selection

[kindred widget]

The Vita was the indie machine

[naive prairie]

Anbernic's Android/Linux devices usually have two microsd slots and Android in internal storage.

[kindred widget]

3DS had better mainline games

[sly rock]

I guess my prayers have been answered by Handheld Jesus though instead of an AYN ODIN 3 mini I got the the Vita

[naive prairie]

If you want Android, just don't put anything in the first slot.

[sly rock]

I love that I can play jet pack joyride on it

[kindred widget]

Also the PSP version

[sly rock]

True

[naive prairie]

I had it on PSP and Vita. Actually legitimately. 🙃

And god help me Angry Birds PSP was actually fun.

[sly rock]

Whoa that's cool

[twilit egret]

yeah I'm just wondering why there are 2 TF slots.

[mortal island]

They're working on linux os for rgds

I don't think it's a real issue for Anbernic, they're still selling their XX devices

[sly rock]

Daily reminder this handheld will most likely be able to emulate every gameboy advance game

[undone hemlock]

https://tenor.com/view/loki-yes-avengers-gif-14022149

[terse parrot]

That's all i play on these handhelds anyway

D-pad top, 16:9, lovely GBA experience imo

[vapid flax]

Breaking news
The Anbernic PS VITA handheld will NOT be compatible with GTA 6

[terse parrot]

Cause GTA 6 will never release

[sly rock]

Peak

[spring island]

Isn’t 16:9 like the worst ratio for gba.. other than maybe 1:1

[terse parrot]

Hell no, you get a massive screen with only minimal pillar boxing. Way better than 4:3 with letterboxing, where you get a much smaller screen. In my opinion of course

[lilac bramble]

just looking at the numbers it makes sense. 16:9 in boymath is basically 1.5:1 and GBA is 3:2 thats basically the same thing

[devout canopy]

Please give back any highschool degree you may hold

[lilac bramble]

its just boymath

and ill always use bad math to justify anything

[devout canopy]

Such bullshit doesn't exist

[sour olive]

https://tenor.com/view/never-cook-again-never-cook-cook-never-goku-gif-3962474524105307442

[lilac bramble]

it doesnt need to exist for you

its how i tell myself things work out

[devout canopy]

We either do correct math or you are doing girlmath, nothing in between

[lilac bramble]

girlmath is too broad

[devout canopy]

Also I wholeheardly disagree on 1:1 or 4:3 being worse for 3:2, as pillarboxing is the most offensive form of black bars

[lilac bramble]

in girlmath $8 is $5, and $5 is basically free, in boymath $8 is $10, ill take that thinking

[sour olive]

Girlmath is buying the Pocket Max at $220 and thinking that's a better deal than the 2 Portal

[lilac bramble]

see on the other hand though, boymath is knowing the 2 portal is a good deal for the base model, and then buying the max model...

[sour olive]

Max Model is great for GameHub

[kindred widget]

But I saved 30 bucks 🙁

[sour olive]

And lose the extra power

[kindred widget]

But 30 bucks

I could buy 40 of these

[sour olive]

Not worth it in the end

[lilac bramble]

the way i see it, the 2 portal makes sense at the base model, but we will tell ourselves since its a good deal on the base model, we will buy the better spec versions. but thats just silly when we couldve bought something with an 8 elite in it

boymath is hard

[short goblet]

portal 2 shipping has some costs though

~20-25

[sour olive]

I mean, Max Model is for Power Users

[sour olive]

$220 vs $270

[frail wadi]

you don't play GBA much do you lol

[sour olive]

16:9 is good for GBA because it's close to 3:2

[devout canopy]

It's okay

I'm waiting for MagicXs 4:3 device because that will do a proper integer scale

4.3" out of 4.5" at 6x

[lusty adder]

You know the handheld is DOA when we're discussing the Portal and the Mangmi on its server

[frail wadi]

because it is, but normies will still buy it I guess

it's mostly likely going to be poorer value than the Mangmi Air X so I don't know to what extent can Anbernic get away with this one

but it will look pretty if you like the Vita I guess

[naive prairie]

I really like the Vita, but I can't help thinking this when I see the RG Vita:

[kindred widget]

I feel the same way

8300 or bust

[mighty pumice]

reshell the rg505 for <= 90 USD earlybird 🙏

[devout canopy]

no thx

at least give us a t820

[kindred widget]

They won't

[sleek widget]

eh, single-thread bound stuff will likely be slower compared to t618

[mighty pumice]

its like a slightly weaker version of the a311d in the rgb10max3pro, but on a newer node (so maybe can have better sustained performance, especially if it has a fan unlike the rgb10max3pro)

[sour olive]

I like to think the reason Anbernic hasn't said anything is because they're delaying it for a better chipset but Reviewer are already getting their units

[prisma niche]

GPU will be better I think

G52 MC3 @ 1GHz vs G52 MC2 @ 850MHz

[kindred widget]

Peak cope

[hallow willow]

I'd love to know what drugs anbernic takes when they design these things ;D

[sour olive]

The Copium is indeed strong

D8300 shall live on

[teal sonnet]

All of them

[lusty adder]

The fun part is always the absolute cinema when the chip is revealed lol

[midnight badger]

What's the screen size of rg vita

[kindred widget]

Looks to be 5"

[midnight badger]

Oh wow. That's a decent size. Not too big nor too small

[undone hemlock]

Should be the 4.7” screen

Everything should have the 4.7” screen

Anbernic should only make 4.7” devices

[midnight badger]

I do wish it was 4.7 but I don't think it's so. If it was 5.5 this is a skip for me cos I don't want a bigger handheld. 4.5-5 inch is a good handy device to have

[kindred widget]

Can I get another 16:9 plss

[undone hemlock]

[kindred widget]

Fuck

[undone hemlock]

4.7” is the way

[kindred widget]

I had to Google what 4.7" looked like

Honestly its not too bad

[midnight badger]

A 447h would be great

[lusty adder]

That's the real PS Vita , Anbernic's Vita

Halloween edition

[terse parrot]

Hmm that would be a T820 with a 6.6" screen 🤔 I'd buy it lol

[wicked idol]

Ok, I used to rock my vita as an mp3 player when I first got it. Now I’m thinking if I get this and throw some roms, music files, movies, and audiobooks it would make a nice little edc device for work or long flights.

Could other devices do the same thing? Of course. But this would be peak and I’m just here for the vibes anyway so leave me be

[hardy parcel]

On god no cap?

[kindred widget]

I should do this for my Vita

I have way too many games that I don't play that I could do without

That should make sufficient space
