[ivory tangle]

I argue that there's worse content creators than ETA Prime.
Unlike that Nittrix individual.

[cunning bane]

that's not content

it's theft

[ivory tangle]

Exactly.

At least you can say that ETA Prime make his videos even if they're infomercials.

[sour olive]

Is that the guy that steals Chinese Review Videos

[ivory tangle]

Allegedly (though I'm leaning towards yes).

[cunning bane]

although, thanks to that channel, i learned that people from china consistently call the g2 the rg5.5

[terse parrot]

Yeah, and there's another guy called HyperPlayHandhelds who's started doing it too

[short goblet]

I know exactly what I am getting with ETA, that's why he is great

[cunning bane]

and, for some reason, he refers to his channel as an entity, and uses the term "we" everywhere

[ivory tangle]

Also when I heard that ETA is doing it to pay for his kids college funds, I respect him for that.

[terse parrot]

I really hate when channels clearly run by one person do that lol

Grates on my ears

[terse parrot]

Yeah i think he actually came across really well in that podcast

[short goblet]

it's him and his source, david

[terse parrot]

Ohh so THAT'S his "man in China"!

[acoustic bobcat]

Has anyone leaked the specs yet

[lusty adder]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-our-now-gif-10391955707070564011

[slim oriole]

Many keyboard warriors here that spend their time criticizing what some do, say and post.

[ivory tangle]

Soon..

[acoustic bobcat]

[ivory tangle]

[cunning bane]

yes, and what said people do, say and post are usually half-truths or stolen content

that's why

[acoustic bobcat]

I just wanted a reason to shit on this device again, please ping me when a crap chip will be revealed so we can pile on this again

[ivory tangle]

What if it's a Snapdragon chip?

[acoustic bobcat]

I will shit on this being non oled

I will find a Reason don't worry

[short goblet]

just ring the notifications bell on anbernic youtube

[cunning bane]

for me it's 5am when they post the videos

i wake up with the biggest "bruh" everytime

[acoustic bobcat]

I would rather end it all then give anbernic one additional view

[short goblet]

good, you can use it as your alarm clock as well

[ivory tangle]

cue the boosted guitar riff at 3AM in the morning

[lusty adder]

The Phawx leaked the T618 chip , just scroll through the endless trolling here lol

[acoustic bobcat]

Oh right

This device is so garbage, who could have possibly seen this coming

Thank you for listening to my ted talk

Good night

[slim oriole]

t618 for the base model or the pro?

[cunning bane]

the only positive that i can currently see is that this is the first time anbernic openly works with devs to help with cfw at launch

[cunning bane]

base

[slim oriole]

ok. what about the pro? any leaks?

[cunning bane]

heavy speculation that it's the rockchip rk3576

but no exact mention, as far as i'm aware

in this case, they're APPARENTLY similar chips, but

the pro can dualboot and do video out

[cunning bane]

i say similar because @kindred widget said that gamma posted gammaos possibly on the pro, with a chip that has never had gammaos

[lusty adder]

Gammaos works for the T820 and now the D8300
Could be the D1110 ( hopium )

[cunning bane]

the one thing we need for to even be considered is seeing the back of the pro

[lusty adder]

And they left that out of the video for this exact purpose

No fan = no good

[slim oriole]

gammaOs is also out for the RG DS (RK3568)

[slim oriole]

so we can be sure that the RK3588 its not the one

[terse parrot]

Are you sure you're not conflating the "chip that has never had Knulli" info with GammaOS? Or did Gamma say that too?

[cunning bane]

he had the video gamma briefly posted

[undone hemlock]

Ok max

[cunning bane]

he said it was too dark to tell the colors of the buttons

[terse parrot]

Yeah yeah

I saw that video, gamma showed vita3k launching

[cunning bane]

however, according to a picture gamma MAY have taken, it had colored buttons, running gammaos

[terse parrot]

He didn't mention the chip, or whether gammaos had ever ran on the chip

Anyway, it's an RK3576 lol, Joey's already been proven right about the T618, and there was no reason for him to lie

[cunning bane]

i agree

[cunning bane]

this, however, i'd actually like a second look

links, pictures, or confirmation of gammaos on any rg vita?

[terse parrot]

I'm sure Mr Balls will DM you the video if you ask him

Or y'know, just wait a few days and I'm sure Anbernic will confirm everything officially

[cunning bane]

ehhh we know, but we're having fun speculating here

[terse parrot]

Troo ™

[cunning bane]

i shall attempt

i'll even try to brighten it if possible

[terse parrot]

I've been watching videos from 2 years ago with that old build of Vita3K running on T618 devices and I reckon it'll be fine. It runs Persona 4 Golden and that's what people care about lol

[lusty adder]

Tomorrow , Mr. Max will grace us with the specs on Monday

It will be absolute cinema here

[cunning bane]

i yearn that i can say "i was right" about something, but

h700 on the pro, who CARES, give me comedy

[lusty adder]

We have more fun with the comedy here than with the handheld itself

[sour olive]

Base got leaked

[cunning bane]

switch 2 pre-launch discussion was a fun time, i've spent more time playing on retro handhelds than the switch 2

[acoustic bobcat]

Were people right to think that base is the psp machine

[sour olive]

I guess

[cunning bane]

yes?

[sour olive]

But I also think it's right to expect Pro to actually be more powerful

[naive prairie]

Installing BL2 and P4G on my RG Vita Bas, er RG505 now.

[sour olive]

Instead we get Cheapy The Cheapskate Chip

[cunning bane]

interestingly enough, 100 is greater than 99.9

not THAT much greater, but still

[slim oriole]

would be nice for them to show 3 versions.. two cheap (base and pro) and a third (pro plus) with some snapdragon Apu... like Snapdragon 780 and 5.5 1080p screen

[acoustic bobcat]

They never use snapdragon

It's their kryptonite

[slim oriole]

i know

[acoustic bobcat]

All those low powered devices make me angry

[naive prairie]

I seem to remember Persona 4 Golden running at full speed on the T618. Yup ... so far it does.

[acoustic bobcat]

I was never the same after I turned on the performance overlay on a psp game 4x upscaled and saw CPU load at 25% and GPU load at 7%

Balanced power mode

[lusty adder]

T620 , more powerful than the T618

[cunning bane]

i'll bring this up once again

[sour olive]

I would have been ok with a T820

[naive prairie]

They will showcase P4G because it runs well and it's a game people actually care about.

[lusty adder]

It will be 2D games , 100%
And they're going for the same marketing strategy as the DS only this time they didn't go viral lol

[sour olive]

It will Shovel Knight and Undertale

See

[acoustic bobcat]

At this point I don't want anything less powerful than rp6 in any form factor. Those manufacturers need to stop with this low end stuff and actually make something usable

[sour olive]

It can run Vita Games

[lusty adder]

Shovel Knight cursed them last time

[fossil rose]

https://giphy.com/gifs/schittscreek-schitts-creek-605-LPwyFCkX5F9m5Lbdiq

[cunning bane]

not everyone is willing to spend $200 to play retro games

and some people just wanna play an n64 game they grew up with

so

[stray saffron]

T618 is fine if you just wanna do up to N64, Dreamcast, PSP, and Saturn. It'll handle all of those just fine. It's just not so great for GameCube, PS2, and Wii outside of super lightweight 2D stuff like Alien Hominid and Muramasa with PAL roms.

[cunning bane]

i'm shoving a light right in your face and asking you to fess up

[acoustic bobcat]

Way to many of those already while the high end stuff has like 3-5 options total. I am not saying there shouldn't be any low end stuff at all but come on, make more expensive premium stuff too

[fossil rose]

https://giphy.com/gifs/ThisIsMashed-animation-animated-mashed-Xwn918tlUgzrIra6zW

[sour olive]

You can get a Miyoo Flip V2 for like $46

There are cheaper alternatives available already

God forbid people want to play Vita games on the Vita Inspired Handheld

[cunning bane]

but they chose to make this handheld and name it that

that is a justified reason to argue

[stray saffron]

After buying a Steam Deck OLED I don't want to buy any more expensive handhelds lol My interest at this point is just in the $60-100'ish market for smaller and more easily portable devices.

[cunning bane]

now, they didn't call the 34xx the rg advance xx

so, what if they called this

(in one chipset's case)

rg505- oh wait, taken

nvm, continue

[sour olive]

RG Cheapy

[cunning bane]

the rg pretty

and the pretty pro

[acoustic bobcat]

The R(ancid)G(od forsaken) Dookie

[cunning bane]

or even the rg prettier

even tho the pro looks worse

[acoustic bobcat]

I just don't understand how those even sell at this point. Surely whoever wanted one of those low powered Linux things already got one

[cunning bane]

new people get into the hobby everyday

and the vita is soooooooooooo loved, so why not?

[floral vessel]

ey i pretty happy with arkOS/GammaOS on rg353v

[naive prairie]

Hmm ... some lagging on the T618 in Persona 4 near the beginning ,,, wonder if some of that is shader compiling.

[acoustic bobcat]

It's 28th best selling console not sure if it was that loved, it's out there but numbers are not that crazy

[cunning bane]

many people think it's the best handheld ever

and that people just didn't see the vision

so they praise everything it did

[acoustic bobcat]

I am happy with my slightly more powerful than rp6 pocket DMG

[floral vessel]

as a handheld for emulate psvita leaks of power

[cunning bane]

beauty

[floral vessel]

damn bro but thats another league

[acoustic bobcat]

It really is

G3xgen2 in that thing

[teal sonnet]

That's not a RG Vita

[cunning bane]

it's related to the issue he's talking about

[acoustic bobcat]

It can probably run vita better than that rg vita tho

Actually not probably

I am sure of it

[short goblet]

this is $400 right?

not including shipping and taxes

[floral vessel]

vita3k is still inmature even if you run some games on a handheld 400$

[teal sonnet]

No doubt, would of got one myself if it had a second stick .
Can't deal with the single touchpad

[acoustic bobcat]

£290 from droix including shipping

[short goblet]

so 400 USD

[lusty adder]

The RG Vita got mogged on his own server

[short goblet]

$400 handheld

[acoustic bobcat]

A bit more expensive than the anbernic yes

Like a couple days of work more

[acoustic bobcat]

It's not even the final form

[naive prairie]

I'm just going to start posting about how much better my Legion Go 2 runs Vita games better than the RG Vita ...

[floral vessel]

RG TV when?

[cunning bane]

rg android box

[naive prairie]

RE-running Borderlands 2 on my T618-equipped RG505 ... I now remember that Mali actually works better with Vita3K than a lot of Snapdragons do.

[floral vessel]

but with adreno you can add drivers

[naive prairie]

And many many of them are glitchy in Vita3K

[floral vessel]

Don't forget that to get the most out of the 505, you need to use gammaOS, which uses the most polished drivers from the RP3+

[acoustic bobcat]

Lmfao

[terse parrot]

PS TV was sweet, I remember hacking mine and playing the Person 4 Golden Un-dub patch on it

[raw ice]

now lets see the price difference

[acoustic bobcat]

RG vita

[terse parrot]

I was way more of a weeb back then lol, wanted to play everything with Japanese dub

[acoustic bobcat]

I don't know what that popup on the bottom was

[floral vessel]

screencast

[terse parrot]

Hot take: Expedition 33 is going to ruin turn based RPG combat for the next 10 years. They're all gonna have fucking parrying

[acoustic bobcat]

I had to learn this shit for like 2 hours

[naive prairie]

Hopefully ATLUS doesn't succumb to that trend.

[acoustic bobcat]

I still only dodge like 50% of the attacks

Because they are not well telegraphed

[terse parrot]

I tried man but I just didn't enjoy it. And i refuse to dodge cause you do damage when you parry lol, and it feels like the battles are designed around that

I just decided it wasn't for me

[terse parrot]

I've heard you should "parry the sound" rather than looking for visual telegraphs

[acoustic bobcat]

If I feel like I don't enjoy it I can just turn on the easy mode at any time and finish the story and move on

[floral vessel]

I liked the Valkyrie Profile story better, Expedition 33 It feels generic

[acoustic bobcat]

I am not sweating the parry after 10 hours of manual labour sorry man

I just want to relax on the sofa and click some buttons

[floral vessel]

you finally unlock 2nd mc?

[acoustic bobcat]

I got to the part where you meet the first survivor, when the main guy is about to shoot himself and then woman finds him, I walked around collected some stuff after that and that's it

Only got an hour to play on the weekdays

And sometimes I am just too tired so I watch some anime and go to bed instead of gaming

[floral vessel]

If you don't like its story, it loses a lot

[acoustic bobcat]

So far it's been ok, I wouldn't call it anything special tho

I don't like the parry and dodge, anything reaction based is stressing me out

[tawny lynx]

Every game these days has a parry

Thank you dark souls

[floral vessel]

Later on, you'll probably like the story, even though it gets a bit complex

but the music is 10/10

[sly rock]

I love the valkrie games as well I love the cell shaded aesthetic with anime looking ww 2 stuff

[floral vessel]

It's like my favorite saga along with Breath of Fire

[sly rock]

Ohh I should play the breath of fire games

[floral vessel]

Play them up to 4, the rest is spin-off or generic

And that's it, because it's now off-topic for the forum

[terse parrot]

Those GBA Breath of Fire ports would look pretty good on the RG Vita I tell you what

There, back on topic

[floral vessel]

😂

[sly rock]

There's also that breath of fire ports on the PSP

[cunning bane]

someone did say the linux one would be a good portmaster machine

if the vita pro has 4gb of ram, then sure

[frosty imp]

Exactly!

We finally get a more powerful non-overkill PortMaster device after all these years, heh

[sly rock]

This would look great on the RG VITA since most of the PSP games are 16:9

[cunning bane]

wait, what exactly is psp aspect ratio?

[frosty imp]

Shame it had to be one where the monkey's paw curled

[acoustic bobcat]

Almost 16:9

A tiny bit less from what I heard

Unnoticeable for all purposes

[sly rock]

16:9 more or less Like i've said in the reply

[floral vessel]

The problem is that the system must have a Linux-based CFW (arkOS, rocknix, knulli,...)

[cunning bane]

pro has knulli confirmed

[sly rock]

https://tenor.com/view/aesthetic-gamer-nintendo-switch-anime-gif-25992157

[floral vessel]

Then it will have a long life there

[sly rock]

Confirmed? RG VITA isn't even out people are fast

[cunning bane]

oh yeah, psp shows up so often in anime

you love to see it

[sly rock]

Ye I love it seeing in anime

[cunning bane]

anbernic sent it out to select people

[sly rock]

Ohh

[terse parrot]

https://tenor.com/view/himouto-umaruchan-gaming-game-psp-gif-9255684

[tawny lynx]

Damn they copied the rg vita

[floral vessel]

isnt that an anime duds play a mh game?

[cunning bane]

i believe mostly to devs, so they can get cfw options ready at launch

isn't there also an anime where the plot is a girl wanting to get good at street fighter 6

[floral vessel]

It's like déjà vu these days; people used to be impressed playing PSX games on a JXD3000 back in the DealExtreme era. Times change

[acoustic bobcat]

If I can't emulate switch on my handheld I don't want it

[sly rock]

I've heard the best retroDooDad t hat can emulate the switch is the AYN ODIN 3

[acoustic bobcat]

If I can't play 4x psp in a balanced preset what are we even doing man

[floral vessel]

if you like switch so hard not better get one v1?

[acoustic bobcat]

I got a desktop pc that does it better but I do have a switch oled

[sly rock]

Or just a regualr switch, V1 looks worse in terms of battery life

[acoustic bobcat]

4k Totk at 50% CPU load, stable 60. Switch never stood a chance

[floral vessel]

i mean v1 cause you can mod it via software It's the most relevant to me

[acoustic bobcat]

Odin 3 is cool but my tablet has the same chip, I don't need it

[floral vessel]

your tablet have active cooling?

[acoustic bobcat]

A little bit

[floral vessel]

i mean fan

[acoustic bobcat]

It has a fan

But it's almost useless

[floral vessel]

good for games

[tawny lynx]

I need ayn to lock in and make an odin 3 mini

[cunning bane]

@acoustic bobcat do you like telescopic controllers

[acoustic bobcat]

I would rather game stream switch from my desktop to be honest

[acoustic bobcat]

Yes, G8+ is the only one I got and it's fantastic

[floral vessel]

on my desktop i use a gamesir nova 2 lite cause dpad

dpad mechanic is very nice

[cunning bane]

speaking of d-pad, and going back on-topic

this thing's d-pad

[acoustic bobcat]

I don't really play dpad centric games on a big screen

[cunning bane]

idk what to say

it looks kinda weird

[floral vessel]

is like psv one

[cunning bane]

yeah but super cheap looking

[floral vessel]

It's very good for diagonals

[cunning bane]

even cheaper than the ones anbernic usually uses

i hope it's somewhat clicky, then

that would save it

[floral vessel]

Perhaps it can be changed like the Miniloong

What I'm sure of is that it will come with Dimensity because of the Pro variant

[sly rock]

Oh yeah Fair

better question is can this game emulate Baldurs Gate 3 on gamehub?

[acoustic bobcat]

If it can't, they shouldn't even sell it

Put this in the bin

[floral vessel]

damn xdd

[sly rock]

Why are the colors in different versions? it just sounds like it'll make it more confusing

[cunning bane]

you can recognize an rg556 by seeing if it's white or purple

[sly rock]

They should have done it like RETROID and AYN and put the worse color option as the cheapest option

[floral vessel]

Anbernic was always very simple in its colors, just look at the ones in 557

[sly rock]

True but the RG557 atleast had an excuse we're it's a revion of the 557

[cunning bane]

but their bodies are almost identical

the rg arc s were all transparent

the arc d were all normal plastic

[acoustic bobcat]

@sly rock black or in the bin

[sly rock]

Oh I meant like keep the other colors as more expensive and keep black as the cheapest option like he retroid and ayn do

[sly rock]

on the bright side Black being the cheapest option means pure black lovers would love it more don't have to spend more money

[cunning bane]

retroid has locked colors behind higher prices?

[acoustic bobcat]

Once you go black you never go back

[sly rock]

huh I might be confusing AYN and RETROID I remember AYN does it

[cunning bane]

i think only ayn

tho there was a metal rp3+ i think

[floral vessel]

you mean simple black or white for the regular version and like indigo or 16bit for pro?

[sly rock]

Yeah have the black as the regular version while the rest of the colors for the pro

[floral vessel]

It wouldn't be very fair just because of the color, They need to ensure sales

[cunning bane]

t minus 10 hours and 30 minutes until specs reveal

(hopium)

[acoustic bobcat]

@terse parrot they just stabilised my refresh rate on the tablet with a system update. Now I just need to go to high instead of extreme. Remember you said it's been a long time and they haven't fixed it? Redmagic was reading the chat

[sly rock]

fair I'm just confused as to why there's different versions I feel like they are better off just having 1

[acoustic bobcat]

Because it's anbernic

[sly rock]

True but have they done this before? first time i've seen them do a pro version of two different android handhelds

[slim oriole]

@gogobrasil8 if that's true I think that everybody would be happy. Even if it is a Dimensity 7350.

[acoustic bobcat]

It's always been a scam just taken to the next level now. I wouldn't be too surprised

[sly rock]

Dang

[acoustic bobcat]

I can't remember a single device I wanted from them beside 34xxsp

There is always some bs going on

[floral vessel]

cause you like that form factor

they play with your childhood

xdd

[sly rock]

Retroid please make the flip version of the retroid pocket classic

[acoustic bobcat]

I liked that screen, I don't even like clamshells. When this was popular I was 3

I feel like half this server is pushing 60 from the shit I hear around

[cunning bane]

i mean, a lot of people seem to be REALLY into crt shaders

[floral vessel]

like almost XX family

[cunning bane]

wonder why

[floral vessel]

H700

[acoustic bobcat]

I understand the scan line thing because it makes games ok to look at but the curvature is a no go for me

[cunning bane]

you know what really makes me confused tho

the people that praised the r36t

[floral vessel]

tastes vary after all

[cunning bane]

when the edges of the screen still showed black borders

disgusting

[floral vessel]

the problem on r36t sound very cheap

[sly rock]

You know I don't know if I should buy this or be patient and wait until AYN announces the AYN ODIN 3 mini

[acoustic bobcat]

Yeah people were like mini crt TV lmfao

[sly rock]

Like i'm huffing copium at this point for expecting an AYN ODIN 3 MINI

[cunning bane]

do you have other powerful handhelds

[acoustic bobcat]

They might not announce it at all, rp6 is the Odin 3 mini

[sly rock]

I have a Steam Deck!

[cunning bane]

ok, do you want something small and gimmicky that looks like a ps vita

then go ahead ig

[sly rock]

Yes! Suprisingly 7 inches is really big for retro games

[acoustic bobcat]

He is the right chat

[acoustic bobcat]

Wish my girlfriend was more like this chat

[cunning bane]

what does your girlfriend think about the switch 2

[acoustic bobcat]

She doesn't own one but she says it's too big and screen is ugly

[cunning bane]

i mean, those are some weird looking borders

[acoustic bobcat]

She likes my astra a lot

[sly rock]

I kinda Disagree since if that was the case they wouldn't make the retroid pocket 5 though I agree with you as well since the size is almost the same width though obiously different deisgns

[sly rock]

Lol

[fossil rose]

What do you think is a scam? Having a Base and Pro version?

[floral vessel]

same colours

[acoustic bobcat]

They discontinued the mini way before the others tho, may have not been as successful as the other odins

[sly rock]

Dang :( at this rate I might just either get this, the ODIN 2 Mini or the RP g2

[fossil rose]

Ah, certainly would have been nicer to have different colors available. The White Pro I have is lovely though, they nailed the look (though naturally that's going to come down to personal preferences)

[cunning bane]

do you want to play video games comfortably

[acoustic bobcat]

More like a "bait" and the regular model if you ask me. Having colours locked behind the pro is even more of a scam

[floral vessel]

exactly

[sly rock]

Ye though I have the PS VITA and I thought that handheld was comfortable, Heck I Find playing the original GBA comfortable to play.

[cunning bane]

the rp6 is pretty decent comfortwise

i just wonder if they'll do a third pre-order batch

[fossil rose]

Eh. I think that tactic is well and truly universal, and certainly not an Anbernic trait. Still sucks, but this is very much established now for consumers

[lusty adder]

Just out of curiosity, what is the percentage of PS2 you think it's playable on the Vita Pro ?

[acoustic bobcat]

Too many people accept mediocrity nowadays, we deserve better

[acoustic bobcat]

What is the first and last number of the chip

[floral vessel]

when SoC is confirmed we can barely % but prob 100% x2,x3

[fossil rose]

I'm not refusing to say because I want you to click on my review when its up (heck, we don't even have ads on our site so that's moot), but rather I've been told not to share much just yet.

Sorry to give you a disappointing answer 🙁

[fossil rose]

You won't have so long to wait before you know anyway

[lusty adder]

No problem , i was just joking tbh

[sour olive]

I'll just watch someone else review /s

[fossil rose]

Are you avoiding buying the Vita, because the color is locked behind a Pro model?

Not poking, just genuinely curious

[fossil rose]

Lucky for me mine are all written! Nothing to watch!

[sour olive]

I'll just click on a different site /s

[fossil rose]

https://gardinerbryant.com/author/perfectdark/

Dooooo it

[acoustic bobcat]

I am mostly just an anbernic hater to be honest and bash them for everything bad I see. I feel like with their market share and economies of scale they can make something truly awesome and yet they refuse. It's not about this particular device it's the the company in general

[fossil rose]

Ohhhhhh right

[floral vessel]

You seem to be a fan of the audio world

[fossil rose]

I really am, but you must mean specifically for Riley's work with Songo (my article about his digital audio player plotting)

I loved writing that one!

[floral vessel]

i see

[fossil rose]

Overwhelmingly I'm a fan of my developer interviews. I enjoy sharing the stories behind the programs and projects people love but maybe don't know so much on who is behind them.

I love doing these. I have one featuring coming up with Gamma soon-ish, and some others I have to keep quiet for the moment!

[frail wadi]

a whopping 5%

[sour olive]

That's the Linux Guy with a Mustache

[floral vessel]

i want to see about gamma he saves some devices

like my loved z28

[fossil rose]

That's Gardiner!

Whose site I write for, and who is one of my very close friends 🙂

[sour olive]

Noice

[fossil rose]

I love how we've got the site set up now. Its not run by ads, and we just get to write about what we love in the (generally) tech and gaming space.

Not so-so many writers are around now. And those who are can have sites that are awful to navigate with the ads they run. So its nice, I think, to just be able to share written content

The video space is inundated. Writing? Pretty much the opposite

[cunning bane]

wait, anbernic did tell reviewers not to talk about the rg slide's performance before launch

this isn't new at all

[sour olive]

I'm kinda losing interest on the RG Vita

[lone imp]

there are plenty of vita games that work in vita3k. the ones that flake out are often stuff like SAO:HR, which you can just play the pc version of and be happy

[sour olive]

It would have been so nice to have an Odin 2 Mini Alternative with a D8300

[lone imp]

not really

[acoustic bobcat]

I am impressed that you had it in the first place

[sour olive]

Yea Really

[acoustic bobcat]

I feel like you would know better

[sly rock]

I wished retro game corps emulate vita games alot more common though I remember a few videos from him were he does emulate a Vita game or more

[cunning bane]

no need to make others feel bad for being interested

[lone imp]

what do you need an alternative for? the market is saturated at that point and neither seller will get the sales they want

[cunning bane]

it's only natural

[sly rock]

I just want a sequel to the ODIN 3 MINI :(

[sour olive]

Same

But who knows when Ayn is releasing one

[acoustic bobcat]

I am just trolling, don't take anything I say seriously

Pocket max was way too fun

But it's dead

[sour olive]

Odin 2 Mini is discontinued

There is no other alternative for Small Powerhouse Device

[lusty adder]

They wouldn't do that because the PS2 is much older than the Vita therefore it will be easier to emulate on the Vita Pro

[floral vessel]

mini pc with ryzen AI

[sour olive]

You still need a Monitor

[acoustic bobcat]

No glass front, oled if possible, high performance chip, compact I feel like this doesn't exist beside the 2 mini

[lone imp]

there is the upcoming gameMT ex8. there's also the rgcube and 406h

[sacred narwhal]

you are trolling right?

[sour olive]

Helio G99 is a midrange chip

[acoustic bobcat]

Can I have what you are having? Some strong stuff

[kindred widget]

Balls Anbernic is back and he can't believe he missed all the banter

The curse of employment

💔

[acoustic bobcat]

Welcome back brother

While you were gone vita chip got leaked, pro still unknown

[lusty adder]

100%

[lone imp]

okay it's time to re-establish the pecking order for noobs,

rk3576(rgVita pro) <= sd662(konkr) < s922x(ogu) < t618 < g99 < t820

playable vita starts at overclocked t618

[floral vessel]

check one35

[lone imp]

g85 shite is between t618 and g99

[floral vessel]

but yeah for the most 3d ones start with t618

[kindred widget]

Playable Vita starts at the Vita actually

I am very smort

[lone imp]

you're an og hardware/fpga troll lol

[acoustic bobcat]

FPGA vita when

[kindred widget]

Not my fault that this is the one instance where OG hardware clears

[lone imp]

who fucking knows at this point

[floral vessel]

Even with the original hardware, many games ran poorly, like Borderlands 2

[lone imp]

actually....

[kindred widget]

BD2 you'd have to overclock your Vita to get better performance

[lone imp]

you don't browse the vita homebrew forum, so you don't know Borderlands 2 is fixed by dropping resolution one notch and increasing the core freq to 500

[floral vessel]

just the android ports by rinne

[lone imp]

the whole point of hacking the vita is manually telling it to run at max speed on games that don't implement upclocking

[kindred widget]

Behold

[devout plinth]

on the bright side, rk35xx line has dedicated NPU, so AI supported for the new anbernic AI

[lone imp]

but aside from all that, the Atelier games are always worth trying

they are, much like dotHack, a -thick- rpg franchise

[floral vessel]

theres any atelier game arpg?

[lone imp]

only on x86. you either need a decent laptop, x86 handheld or odin 2

[floral vessel]

huh

[tawny lynx]

This was my number one concern

[lone imp]

my i5-1145g7 Dell blew up in a darktide raid like 2 days ago. i have a new i7-1185g7(90usd) system board heading my way to drop into the shell

i would use that for the arpg atelier games if it were still kickin

[floral vessel]

intel iris gpu?

[kindred widget]

Could've said this sooner man

[lone imp]

yeah

[kindred widget]

I went on a purge of a bunch of Vita games and that whole series got slapped

[lone imp]

Dusk series is pretty good. Arland series is okay

there are whole reddit threads ranking the various stories

[floral vessel]

ryza 2 looks good

[lone imp]

yeah, i got into Ryza for pc for about 20 hours

[sacred narwhal]

I think you mean Mangmi not Konkr

[lone imp]

yeah... but tbh, mangmi and konkr are just ayaneo sockpuppets

[floral vessel]

is like magicX and XU

[lone imp]

https://youtu.be/_bpqwbDPI0o
Atelier Yumia is the arpg game

[floral vessel]

more like xenochronicles

I still have to play through the last two games of Ys

[lone imp]

yeah 7 for psp and 8 for vita/switch, i'll eventually try

i did oath of felghana and the other diablolike for a bit and got bored. i'd rather play torchlight 2.

[floral vessel]

You have to like history

I started liking it because of Books I & II

[lone imp]

see what happens is i try to get into a long retro game, and then my friends want to do Dead Island 2 coop (LONG), or something like Hytale. its better i stick to short-session fun games

[floral vessel]

The important thing is to enjoy your gaming sessions

and not get frustrated with e-sports

[lone imp]

i don't do esports anymore.

i have over 2000 hours in dota2 with a 75% winrate on Shadow Demon. the team i played with destroyed several irl friendships, which is why i don't go back

[floral vessel]

Wow, that was tough

[sour olive]

Ys Books 1&2 on PSP is pretty good

[floral vessel]

the best intros

[lone imp]

what i need to do is quit grinding item worlds in DIsgaea 1 on a 200+ hour save, and just beat the game

and move on to any other tactics game(even if it means no max-level dark rosaries on my top ten)

[floral vessel]

that means you're enjoying the game

[sour olive]

Final Fantasy Tactics

[floral vessel]

or tactics ogre

[sour olive]

Fire Emblem

[lone imp]

i've actually started FE1 on nes and the gamecube one

[sour olive]

Nice

[sly rock]

PSP has decent amount of Disgea games perfect for RG VITA

[sour olive]

3 and 4 are on Vita

[sly rock]

Ohhh TIL

[lone imp]

yeah, if you buy the rgVita or rg505/405-series for disgaea, you're going to make up the cost pretty quickly in hours

i sold my rg505 because playing Vermintide on it hurt my fingers

[floral vessel]

Watching the anime is also good

[sour olive]

I played 3 on the Vita years ago because it was on PS Plus

Great Game

But you'll never beat it if you do the side quests

It really feels like endless content

[lone imp]

L U L

[floral vessel]

Give it a try to riviera

[lone imp]

i'm out. shrooms just activated.

[floral vessel]

So be careful with psychedelics because they eliminate short-term memory

[sly rock]

Ohh I feel you I sold my RG-505 as well the joy stick placement on it is uncomfortable

[sly rock]

Dang I'll have to avoid that since ADHD already eliminates my short term memeory lmao

[lone imp]

b-but past life reliving...

[floral vessel]

They say the most important things have already been written, time to go duds hope this week anbernic shows some news

[sly rock]

Soo uhh any new news?

[frail wadi]

chill man, they didn't even wake up yet in China

[sly rock]

Lmao Fair

[sour olive]

Anbernic is on Vacation

[kindred widget]

Mr. Zhou needs his beauty sleep

He overprices the entire catalog when he's sleep deprived

Yes but we where all told not to tell you

[sly rock]

[hallow willow]

Looks like the non pro model is the t618

[mortal island]

So the pro model is rk3576

[untold hazel]

Maybe it's RK3399

[glacial gust]

Apparently the non pro model uses the t618

[cunning bane]

yes

it does

[glacial gust]

So it's a reshelled rg505

Anbernic man

[sleek widget]

huh, in some ways t618 might be stronger than 3576 lol

[cunning bane]

1 hour and 30 minutes

[sleek widget]

pro my ass lol

[cunning bane]

until the potential release of the video

[cunning bane]

pretty sure it's pro cuz it dual boots and does video out

[glacial gust]

Where's the benchmark guy

[mortal island]

It would be funny if it performs worse, but I hope they'll be at least on par

[cunning bane]

hey @terse parrot what time is it

[glacial gust]

Is the rk3576 more powerful or on par with t820

[cunning bane]

probably less than t820

[mortal island]

3576 is weaker than t618 in geekbench

So...

Either anbernic wants to make a weird naming blunder, or they're not gonna use 3576, or 3576 is better specifically in emulation

[terse parrot]

8:35am GMT, why lol?

[cunning bane]

alright i was curious because

it's 3:36 am over here

i have not slept

[terse parrot]

Jesus lol

[cunning bane]

and as stupid as it might sound

it MIGHT be because of this

[terse parrot]

I've been trying to log onto work since 7am but there's some network issue stopping us

[cunning bane]

and this only happens to me when there's a direct the next day

but no, it's just some stupid underpowered thing i likely won't even buy

[terse parrot]

I dunno if this is the kinda thing you should be THAT excited for lol

[terse parrot]

I do love me the time before a Nintendo Direct, where anything could be possible...

[cunning bane]

if i'm honest, part of the reason is wanting to see those sweeeeet specs be just as i predicted

but i don't even know at this point, maybe i just slept so much throughout sunday that i can't really sleep now?

[terse parrot]

It might be because you're actively looking at Discord lol

I like to sleep to the quiet sounds of some video essay i've rewatched a million times

[cunning bane]

i get that, liam triforce is a good source for that

[terse parrot]

Not heard of him, i'll add a few vids to my watch later, cheers!

I slept to the exact same hbomberguy vid for like 3 years lol, but recently i've been listening to jrose11's pokemon red/blue challenge runs

[cunning bane]

they seem like quality creators, will check them out (at a better schedule)

[short goblet]

https://klipy.com/gifs/jurassicpark-parc-jurassic-7

[cunning bane]

please

please tell me this is it

if the embargo doesn't lift in an hour and 8 minutes oh my GOD

[terse parrot]

You will have to say awake even longer

[cunning bane]

i mean, collectively

but since they always drop video at the same hour, eh

also, i used to collect rubik's cube type puzzles, and the 3x3 cube world record just got broken recently

didn't even hear about it because i was too focused on THIS

[short goblet]

get some sleep dude

[cunning bane]

i tried, trust me

[mortal island]

1 more hour until something. Or nothing

[cunning bane]

the guy posted the water cup, there's something

[mortal island]

You need RP4 therapy, it's gonna help

[cunning bane]

how is the dimensity 900 gonna help me right now

also there's like ONE in stock remaining

[mortal island]

It's neat

Better than whatever rockchip they plan to announce

[cunning bane]

ONE HOUR

[terse parrot]

Aw man, Kitsune was typing a few mins ago, I thought they were gonna leak something

[cunning bane]

another person toying with us

what have they said before

[terse parrot]

I don't think ftn would have said this if the video was really dropping in an hour

[terse parrot]

They have access to all these Chinese forums and chats and stuff. Many times Kitsune tells us stuff before anyone else

[stray saffron]

I wonder if we're gonna get a full reveal this morning or if Anbernic is gonna wait until after Chinese New Year when they come back to the office on February 26th.

[short goblet]

just looking out for an anbernic bro

[cunning bane]

i was wondering that, like if they revealed it today and opened pre-orders when they came back

[cunning bane]

thanks

i swear it's JUST today

[short goblet]

not worth losing sleep over

[stray saffron]

Unless their social media rep isn't taking the New Year holiday off, this morning seems like the last time to do it before the break.

[terse parrot]

I think this tbh. Reviews this week, preorders on 26th Feb when they're back. 72 hours discount. Juuust enough time for the end of Feb/start of March "Choice Day" AliExpres sale, coupons baybeee

[cunning bane]

if i get a notification spam and suddenly everyone has a review, that'd be funny

[stray saffron]

I'm not sure why I'm even following this so closely, cause I don't think I'll buy it on account of the glass front, I think I've just been so starved for new budget Anbernic handhelds since the end of the Great H700 Flood Of 2024 that I'm eager for any new budget minded release XD

[cunning bane]

define budget

[stray saffron]

Under $120'ish

[cunning bane]

p sure that'll be the price of the regular

[terse parrot]

I hope it'll be cheaper than that, but wouldn't be shocked if you're right

[stray saffron]

Given what the purported chipsets can play they'd really have to price even the Pro around $100 to compete with the Mangmi Air X, Aya Neo Pocket Air Mini, and to a somewhat lesser extent the TrimUI Smart Pro S. Unless Anbernic isn't interested in competing and just feels like doing their own thing, which is always a distinct possibility with that company lol

[cunning bane]

welp, 5 minutes

[mortal island]

Yep. I think the pro will still have 4GB, so the only benefit is linux support. I don't know how much they're going to charge for it, but it shouldn't be much 😁

[cunning bane]

and

https://youtu.be/QWwHeaoOYzs?si=0l_qfJ9Yi8ZB5xAv

goddamit anbernic i wanted chipset info!!!

[radiant kettle]

ouch that dragon ball tenkaichi framerate lmao

[cunning bane]

yup, ouchhhh

but also damn i was right about resolution but not size

[terse parrot]

I hope you find sleep efu

[cunning bane]

will try my very best, have fun

wait

someone has something to say

[mortal island]

5.5" IPS

At least I got that part right

[cunning bane]

are they gonna keep doing that forever

[mortal island]

720p tho

[radiant kettle]

weirdo screen

[mortal island]

Hahah

[radiant kettle]

is that the one from the powshitty x55 or something?

[cunning bane]

p sure it's the 556 screen but not oled

[radiant kettle]

cause even the mangmi is 1080p

[cunning bane]

5.46 inches?

[radiant kettle]

then it's a totally different screen lol

[acoustic bobcat]

720p in 2026

I thought we left this shit in 2023

[cunning bane]

completely new screen it seems

[radiant kettle]

if they can make it under 100 bucks with the t618, it's an okay product i think

505 is still overpriced to this day

[cunning bane]

and indeed, psp games at 5x resolution

[acoustic bobcat]

$99 + shipping take it or leave it

[mortal island]

Powkiddy x55 seems to have the same screen yeah

[cunning bane]

guess gravity rush didn't make the cut

[stray saffron]

Annnnnd no specs reveal. Them sunza bitches! XD

[radiant kettle]

i would have preferred the vita screen lmao

[acoustic bobcat]

Andernic is allergic to oled

[cunning bane]

i wonder if people can now confirm they have it

and actually TALK for once

[acoustic bobcat]

Can't talk or Balls Andernic will get them

[cunning bane]

*good oled

[acoustic bobcat]

557 is not a device

[tame vector]

damn i wanted 5 inch screen

[mighty pumice]

720p screen ...
Would prefer original vita screen or 1080p for psp.

Ppsspp would auto crop 2 pixels when running on 1080p screen at least

[radiant kettle]

shambernic

[mortal island]

It doesn't on 720p?

Strange

[mighty pumice]

Even after cropping 272 to 270, 270 cant scale directly to 720p

[stray saffron]

My extreme disappointment with the RG557 after I purchased it at launch was what led me to finally save up and "Just get a Steam Deck (OLED)" lol

[tame vector]

another rgds situation

2.5x res

[mortal island]

So, same as TSPS

Interesting that they only showed base vita and not the pro

[mighty pumice]

Maybe different screen? Need more than the chip to quality for a pro

[mortal island]

35XXpro is pro because of additional useless sticks, so idk

[hallow willow]

https://tenor.com/view/michael-jackson-comendo-picoca-gif-9669437860846841235

[young mantle]

So how’s the performance compared to Mangmi

[mighty pumice]

they didn't even reveal the chip (officially)

[young mantle]

I know, I mean whatever we can deduce from the demo

Overall I gives me the whole RG DS campaign feeling, but at least this is at the normal Anbernic pace of unrevealing and releasing within a week or two

[hallow willow]

prob a case of 'yeahhhh... let's not try the dripfeed again anytime soon' 😄

[mighty pumice]

the fps indicator was not enabled for systems that would tell us anything useful. if its the t618 it will be generally better than the mangmi anyway, even if not by alot

[floral vessel]

I thought they would take longer to show the demo

the pro variant is confirmed that have rockchip?

The normal ones, being made of glass, will already be like 160$

[cunning bane]

you know, i've been saying $135, buuuuut

with "shipping costs" included, yeah, probably that

[floral vessel]

https://versus.com/es/qualcomm-snapdragon-662-vs-unisoc-t618 wins 662

[mortal island]

476H is cheaper than 406H, what is this claim about expensive glass front lol

[mortal island]

Most useless website

[floral vessel]

At least you can see the essentials

[mighty pumice]

Worse than even nanoreview

[floral vessel]

And I thought they would be Dimensity

[tribal sonnet]

runs worse than genshin smh

[stray saffron]

If the Pro version does have an RK3576 though that will slightly outperform the SD662 in the Mangmi Air X, though the difference is small enough that the performance should be fairly identical between the two; aside from the RK3576 having the advantage of dual booting Linux for ease of setup and use.

https://gadgetversus.com/processor/qualcomm-sm6115-snapdragon-662-vs-rockchip-rk3576/

The real question is whether the Pro version will be priced comparably to the Mangmi Air X, or if Anbernic just assumes people will pay a premium for the all glass front design and the ability to run Linux.

[devout plinth]

whatever the msrp, will just assume the 15% price cut from 3rd party anbernic sellers like always

[hallow willow]

if its the t618 in the non-pro, who knows what the pro will be. Does seem to be little sense for the pro model have the 3576 but i guess who knows given their logic 😄

[kindred widget]

You know too much

[devout plinth]

oh, the demo video is the normal rg vita right? not the pro?

[mortal island]

Yes

[sour olive]

LMAO

The only Vita game shown in the video is Persona 4

It's so Joeover

[kindred widget]

You see, we here at Anbernic set our standards very high for our devices.

[hallow willow]

anyone with even a remote interest in this hobby should have expected that going in tbh 😄 takes very little energy to look stuff up

[teal sonnet]

And Dragons Crown which is very slow paced , they better have a decent price on this or I can see this being a flop

[sour olive]

Great Game though

[kindred widget]

Never bet on Anbernic pricing

[sour olive]

$150 for base

And $200 for Pro

Get Hyped

[kindred widget]

[sour olive]

It's going to be Mangmi Pocket Max 2.0

Overpriced Handheld FTW

[glacial gust]

Anbernic just release the 477v outta nowhere like a month ago
How many device do they have in production?

[wispy geode]

Multiple teams working in parallel

[shy sedge]

Arethese the early bird prices?

Oh, wait nvm, its not ayaneo

[acoustic bobcat]

My favourite part of the leaks cycle

The doom and gloom

Been waiting for that for like a week

It's a shame David is no longer with us

[mortal island]

In December actually

[acoustic bobcat]

But I am sure balls anbernic can take his place

[mortal island]

I'd say they could make ~6 devices in 2026

[young mantle]

Only 6?!

[mortal island]

They were on a roll with XX devices that's for sure, but excluding those, I'd say 6 is expected

[young mantle]

Last year they made 8, the year before 12, so yeah they have slowed down. But if they launch updates of the whole XX lines with a new SoC then it would be over 10.

[hallow willow]

I'm just gonna be outraged at the device im not going to buy anyway 😄

[young mantle]

Haha, me too

Still waiting for RG DS Pro and RG Arc Pro

[hallow willow]

ngl this does look sleek but given what i own already there's no need for me to pick one up 😄

[tribal sonnet]

would had bought this if i don't already had the mangmi air x

[glacial gust]

Did the rg arc sell well?

[short goblet]

it's okay, you can still buy one

[devout plinth]

I have never seen anyone with it except for influencers

[tame vector]

rg ds pro brah im js waitin for that

[mortal island]

There's no new chips though, at least in H700 price points ($30-$60)

[mighty pumice]

the h700 devices launches in the 60-80 range? stuff like a523/a527, a333 or older mediatek/unisocs, or probably can fit in the range, though some would need active cooling

[mortal island]

A333 with custom android laucher like dawn would be the next stpe for those cheap handhelds, but idk how cheap those are

[devout canopy]

just watched the newest video, where is the 5.5" 720p info coming from?

[mortal island]

Video description

[glacial gust]

Why don't they just use the oled vita screen like the rg 505

[lone imp]

so the pecking order is
sd662 < rk3576 < s922x = a311d < t618

[devout canopy]

shouldn't the rk3576 be better than the s922x/a311d

[lone imp]

somewhat

here's something quite interesting for you to look at. it's actually slightly better.

[mighty pumice]

a72 vs a73 (some small improvement) , and smaller gpu. though on a newer node so sustained performance might be better in handheld ? 🤷‍♂️

[lone imp]

so its rk3576 >= s922x

[mortal island]

Because it's bad

[mighty pumice]

still better than most of the screens in the cheaper products like h700 ones, especially for psp. Like it enough that I still keeping my RG503

[lone imp]

singlecore is almost exactly the same. multicore is slightly better due to having more small cores

[short goblet]

the brightness of the PS Vita screen isn't good

[mortal island]

I'd say a modern lcd is better than whatever vita had 15 years ago

[tawny lynx]

Just a casual 1,000,000 MHz boost clock on the rk3576

[mighty pumice]

this is from? the s922x looks like its throttling or something

[lone imp]

so it looks like the the rgb10max3pro and the ogu can finally be retired now

[mortal island]

Hah, ai scraping is so flawed

[lone imp]

it's just gadgetversus

also, they probably ran it at stock with no overclocking. you can push the amlogic to 2.4/2ghz on the big/small cores and cover more ground

[kindred widget]

Damn I need to get in touch with the 16:9 factory

Throw enough money to triple production

[wispy geode]

I might actually visit their factory in April

[keen shell]

they succeeded in making the Vita look ugly. It seems Anbernic is out of ideas. RG DS, RG Vita. We can expect the RG SteamDeck any minute now.

[lone imp]

it's probably not for you if it looks too ugly

[lusty adder]

The RG Deck is going to be a fun one

[keen shell]

definitely not. I love the Vita design, but this one is not up there tbh. looks cheap and forced.

[lone imp]

it'll be useful as a portable media box though if it has hdmi out. It's sister unit for reference:
https://youtu.be/PWovIv9e8vA

being able to decode 4k at ~68kbps is going to make it decent for streaming games as well

[terse parrot]

https://youtu.be/-vcgQDb4r_o?si=rBPePiYIjYN5knl7

I wonder if he posted it early

[lone imp]

base is just a t618. heh. pro is a t618-esque rockchip, which is arguably worse because rockchip driver quality is meh

[mighty pumice]

better to download it

[terse parrot]

Just downloaded it yeah lol

3GB RAM eh, so is that less than the RG505?

I saw people say that was 4GB I think?

[prisma niche]

Those A72 cores aren't touching anything beyond psp and light-mid 3ds

[mighty pumice]

rg505 was 4+128

[undone hemlock]

Well

[lone imp]

rp3+ has better vita performance. x28 has better vita support. unisoc drivers are kinda shit that way.

though... i'm interested in how the armlinux branch of vita3k does since it doesn't have the same android thread bottleneck

[mighty pumice]

oh its not a vita style dpad as well

[devout canopy]

they really downgraded the RAM, ahahahahaha

[mighty pumice]

i think 3gb is fine, can't be worse than the pairing with the higher powered Pocket air mini, especially with gammaos day 1 on this.

[sacred narwhal]

Anbernic only makes good 4:3 systems. Their 16:9 devices suck

[undone hemlock]

And my gut was right

[prisma niche]

It will fall flat on its face trying to run mario kart double dash without any fps cheats

[undone hemlock]

[sour olive]

What does The Phawx say?

[wicked idol]

The description of their video doesn’t list vita

[lone imp]

yeah, t618/rk3576 is not a double-dash friendly soc spot

even if you do apply fps hacks, you most likely will freeze up the game randomly. it's kinda shit

[prisma niche]

Single-core cpu performance is a blood bath as it is

2ghz A75 vs 2.2ghz A72

[hallow willow]

do we even have full confirmation that the pro is gonna be a 3576? 😄 given that the non pro model turned out to be the t618

[prisma niche]

RK3576 has more cache apparently

[mighty pumice]

does anberic send out reviewer units without telling them the price previously?

[tribal sonnet]

i agree with this

[lone imp]

joey leaked and got in trouble then deleted everything he posted

[floral vessel]

3gb ram for a base t618, what happen anbernic 😭

[prisma niche]

An extra 512kb

[hallow willow]

ram more expensive now sadly, thats gonna impact handhelds for the foreseeable future

[short goblet]

price is usually the last thing

[lone imp]

more cache lets it have enough cpu power to slightly top the t618, but it's still kinda meh.

this feels like a very anbernic thing to do.

[weary basin]

[short goblet]

he says it is price dependant

[hallow willow]

yeah this is wonderful to watch 😄

[wicked idol]

So if the price is decent here then it looks like anbernic is trying to make a competitor to the mangmi air x, Ayaneo pocket air mini and the new XU device

[sour olive]

I don't get who this device is for

[mighty pumice]

the rk3576 won't be topping a t618 at least for single and dual thread cpu performance , which is what matters for anything below ps2 or switch. the stronger gpu may help it upscale psp games higher easier though

[weary basin]

If price is around the tsps its probably fine

[sour olive]

It doesn't really seem to offer any advantages over a Vita

[hallow willow]

"im extremely angry over something i was never going to buy but will complain about anyway" 😄

but yeah, potentially a competitor to the other set of budget. Let's see

[lone imp]

the pro will be good for linux users at least

you can all finally play handheld Starbound together

[sour olive]

Eh

[next storm]

we back baby

[prisma niche]

Not sure the extra cache is enough to offset the single/dual-core performance difference

[hallow willow]

i stopped caring much about portmaster a while ago

[weary basin]

x28 screen 🤣

[lone imp]

knulli will help. instead being locked to 1 mandatory os thread and 7 user threads, there's going to be a bajillion soft-threads waiting to be queued for computation-heavy games.

we saw this comparing rk3566 linux and android devices.

[short goblet]

I think Phawx makes the correct comparision, RG505

[sour olive]

No OLED though

[devout canopy]

my x28 has 4gb RAM, but no Gamma

[lone imp]

sad story

[weary basin]

Neither does the rg vita... atleast not yet

[lone imp]

os is hyperlocked down on the x28

[prisma niche]

Motorstormmmm

[lone imp]

heck, a portmaster of Unreal Tournament 2004 should be possible now. Possibly even HOMM 5 and Poker Night 2

[lusty adder]

It performs a bit worse than the previous T618 handhelds because i believe it has less memory lol

[quick cloak]

I'm still only paying $69 for base

[prisma niche]

There's a native linux client for UT2004 apparently

So that could in theory run through box64 + native vulkan

[lone imp]

nice

[prisma niche]

No wine or dxvk mali malarkey

[quick cloak]

T618 and 3GB. It's 2026 ffs

[sour olive]

Why does The Phawx look like he came out of an old Sitcom?

[wicked idol]

It really does look like Anbernic saw all the cheap android devices, said “hold my beer” and threw something together with bits and pieces from other consoles and their old catalog. At least for the non pro.

[quick cloak]

So RG Vita fixin to be $119 right?

[tawny lynx]

Better not

$100 take it or leave it

[prisma niche]

But yeah the 500,000 soft threads running on linux will carry for heavy PSP and portmaster

[wicked idol]

I’m still holding out for a T820 on the pro, but I’ve paid no attention to rumors really so could be wildly off.

[quick cloak]

$89 would be okay

[weary basin]

rgswitch > rgvita 🤡

[mighty pumice]

the 505 is 114 on their site now, i expect this to be <100 especially with the downgrades (including the screen to me)

[lone imp]

"just get an rg505 bro"

[devout canopy]

$59

[tribal sonnet]

i dnt like old anbernic sticks

[weary basin]

You want that led ring 🤣

[lone imp]

until a review of the pro comes out running linux, i'm out.

[sour olive]

Pro with OLED would be nice

[sacred narwhal]

In terms of design I like 505 more than RG vita

[wicked idol]

Seeing as I wanted a cheap android device for low end emulation and music while at work the cheaper this is the better.
I also need a tablet for work, so the cheaper this is the more budget I have to put towards a tablet of some description

[mighty pumice]

more fitting title compared to the above

[radiant kettle]

rg mortem

[mortal island]

3+64? This better be $99 before any discounts lol

[quick cloak]

Before I got into this hobby I did not know this shit could be so hilarious.

If only this was total number of views

[sour olive]

He changed the title again

[near maple]

Yeah, it feels really late for the T618 to hit $100, with how much more another $100 nets you. And that's even assuming this thing is $100, I'm skeptical given the DS's price.

[sour olive]

They better be like $60-$70

Otherwise it's dead on arrival

[quick cloak]

How's vertical arcade on this?

Only thing that exists rn anyway

[mortal island]

Mangmi is 99, ayaneo is 99 too. It's not doa at 99

Dead on arrival would be 120, like some people were guessing here

[weary basin]

i'll get the mangmi then

[smoky igloo]

Mangmi just works

Has Rocknix

Why change

[weary basin]

has gamma

[sour olive]

Mangmi has a Snapdragon 662

[sour olive]

Which is way more powerful

[mortal island]

And that snapdragon is weaker. So?

[smoky igloo]

Turnip Drivers put in work

[weary basin]

has linux

perfect for that 3gb ram

[carmine sage]

This screen is boring looking especially after the 477 line

[devout plinth]

I wonder how long will Mangmi able to keep their prices

[sour olive]

AyaNeo has a Helio G90T

[weary basin]

oops mangmi has 4gb

[smoky igloo]

And Ghosting on Aya Neo

[sour olive]

Which is also better

[smoky igloo]

Plus, Ew....Supporting Aya Neo

https://tenor.com/view/eww-gif-25905626

[sour olive]

I didn't say anything about the screen aspect ratio

[weary basin]

I did

[mortal island]

What turnip drivers, i'm genuinely asking. Are there turnip drivers for 662 and do they bring better switch performance? I'm not up to date on Mangmi cfw development.

[worn topaz]

membrane dpad?

mr ambernic you are going to hell

[sour olive]

Bossman really is Cheapy The Cheapskate

[quick cloak]

So for $100 we have fake Vita, ick PAM, Air X, and One 35 banger

[teal sonnet]

My RG505 is laughing at the amount of RAM

[mortal island]

Yep

[lusty adder]

Plot twist : it will be $140

[quick cloak]

Glass ain't cheap

[smoky igloo]

Yes they Exsist on 662, and they will help with Vita Emulation

I do not do Switch Emu, I own a Switch. Best Performace by far

[mortal island]

If they intend to sell zero units, sure

[quick cloak]

Ngl base black is sexy

[lusty adder]

They might as well get bold and charge that lol
Their other T618 stuff go around that price too

[mortal island]

There are people who think it should cost 60, and people who think it's going to cost 140. It's kinda funny

[acoustic bobcat]

I think we may have used RP5 for 100 soon when people get their units

[quick cloak]

Like, if I had Odin 2 portal and nothing else I might get RG Vita to match and go on reddit to farm karma with don't ever talk to me or my son again post

[acoustic bobcat]

It's going to cost whatever but it's worth nothing

[smoky igloo]

Why would anyone trade their rp5 for $100?

[lusty adder]

Not even their H700 stuff costs that lol Unless it's a sale on Ali

[acoustic bobcat]

Because they already sell used for 135

[smoky igloo]

That is Horendous for Mangmi Max then

[quick cloak]

Mangmi Max will soon be a footnote unfortunately

[smoky igloo]

Talking about DOA

[radiant kettle]

i think it's gonna be a great homage, it's gonna launch and instantly die

[acoustic bobcat]

[lusty adder]

The Mangmi or the Vita lol ?

I'm still using and Loving my Retroid 4 Pro lol

GammaOS saved that thing

[weary basin]

No thanks RG Vita

[acoustic bobcat]

No thanks RG vita

[lusty adder]

The RP4 Pro is still quite good , specially now that we're doing throwbacks to hardware from 2022 lol

[smoky igloo]

2026 Device sounds like it's starting off with a Wimper

[mortal island]

They just released rgds with an extra screen + hinge for $95. What makes you think they're charging $140 for something with neither. T618 is not that much more expensive than RK3568. Both chips are bottom of the barrel in their segments. 3GB of ram in both too.

[weary basin]

I had a T618 with metal casing Who wants glass

[smoky igloo]

2024*

I'm old, not that old

[quick cloak]

Rg Vita looks like most breakable device

[lusty adder]

The 505 is better than the Vita also because of the screen and ram

[quick cloak]

Ha, I just remembered TrimUI smart pro s existed

[tawny lynx]

You should forget about it again

[acoustic bobcat]

There was some hype around it

[weary basin]

Hello Kin and Hank

[acoustic bobcat]

And then people got it and went dead silent

Because it's another psp machine for 100 dollars

[weary basin]

6gb ram

[acoustic bobcat]

Nothing new

[lusty adder]

The cool Trimui handhelds are the brick and Hammer

[sour olive]

Vita can play Vita games though

[tawny lynx]

I liked my smart pro but the smart pro s has way too few improvements and is too much for what it is

[quick cloak]

S means slightly better

It has double the ram though

[sour olive]

And?

[weary basin]

T620

[sour olive]

Doesn't matter if you can't play the games the system is supposed to be based on

Why even call it an RG Vita to begin with?

[ivory tangle]

Marketing.

[weary basin]

Why call it the RG DS

[ivory tangle]

Why call it the RG Slide?

Or RG Cube?

[weary basin]

Because it slid to the trash

[sour olive]

RG DS can at least play DS Games

[undone hemlock]

Most*

[weary basin]

Technically it can play vita

The RK3566 can also play vita

[sour olive]

GammaOS does fix Golden Sun

[undone hemlock]

My butt can play vita

[tawny lynx]

Cause cube shaped

[weary basin]

and PS2

[weary basin]

What is the XX for then?

[tawny lynx]

Cube double cross

[weary basin]

RG Cube No No

[ivory tangle]

Hmmm..cube adjacent at best.

[young mantle]

I think Anbernic optimize their products for TikTok sales.

[tawny lynx]

Maybe it would be more accurate to call it the rg square

[lone imp]

All i see is nongamers griping about not being able to consoom enough.

[ivory tangle]

Ehh, that'll be too obvious.

Well, I like the RG Slide, RG Cube, RG 476V, RG406V and H, RG40XXV, and RG Cube XX.
Could've gotten a RG DS and RG40XXH but didn't.

Oh and the RG477M.

Also got the RG405V off of the high of getting the RG406V.
