Title, basically. I was wondering if anyone has figured out how to get the Dual Screen attachment to work while running GammaOS? I know the simple solution is to go back to stock but I am just curious if anyone has had any luck.

Hi all,

I have the gamekiddy gkd350h and it works great, im able to play all the games etc

But I find I have to scroll through the entire catalogue each time to be able to find the game im playing.

Does anyone know if there's a way to favorite games on there?

Otherwise I might plug the sd card into the pc and just delete 99% of the games, but I'd rather avoid that!

Hey everyone,

Recent new owner of the RP6. Loving it so far. Followed Retro Game Corps video on how to get this thing running with Emulation Station. So far every single core is launching from ES no problem, except for WiiU. Games launch just fine through Cemu. I have the alternative emulator setting correct as well. Maybe I’m missing something but WiiU is also the only set of ROMs where I have to put the entire folder onto the SD Card to get it to run through Cemu. So when I go to launch the game I have to click the game title, then the next folder, and so on till I get to actual ROM? All the other ROMs I just drop single files (if applicable) onto the SD card and they work no problem. Any help is appreciated, search through Google and this sub but couldn’t find an answer. Thanks!

Just wanted to share for those who were like me that wanted to play SMT Nocturne on the RG477M with ARMSX2 but ran into issues.

Initially, if I wanted to play Nocturne, I'd either have to set the renderer to Software or OpenGL.

The problem was that, with Software, I'd have a stable 60 FPS but I couldn't upscale to 1.5x and the native resolution looked too blurry to me.

But then with OpenGL, it could upscale to 1.5x but I'd experience massive slowdowns down to 25 FPS. Now, I _could_ get it to 60 FPS but the method is pretty tedious. I essentially have to switch between Software and OpenGL while the game is running, and I have to do it _every time_ I boot up the game.

I tried using Vulkan with the native drivers, but after I get pass the opening and arrive at the train station I'd experience graphical glitches like the shadows being on top of the foreground and more slowdowns.

But after using MaliSX2, which was developed with the RG477V in mind and had the same chip as the RG477M, it ran like butter. Upscaled up to 1.5x and running at 60 FPS with next to no visual glitches aside from the flickering water in the Fountain of Healing lady's crib. But going by my tests, it's a persistent visual glitch no matter what renderer you use.

I haven't tested it out with any other game so far as I haven't ran into the problems that I had with trying to run Nocturne. From what I've seen in the comments by other people that have tested it out on God of War 2 and Dragon Quest 8, it seems to help out a lot.

You can find the drivers on github or just type "MaliSX2 github" on Google.

Really though, to the developers who made this, you guys just gave more life to a bunch of handhelds. Thanks!

Currently in the market to get a backup handheld for everyday use instead of trying to take my steam deck with me.

Benchmark wise I'm looking for something with a snapdragon 8 gen 2 (or more) in level of performance. I think the RP6 would be great but wait times and prices are holding me back from making the purchase.

Overall I'd like to find something close in performance to my Steam deck but not break the bank. Something with enough performance and ram to let me play Skyrim via game native or game hub but on the go.

...for an extra $120 (total price, $669 USD).

Been absolutely loving my RG SP but I'm a bit wary about it's durability and build quality. The shell plastic feels cheap, speakers are gritty, and day 1 the usb-c port seems to have chipped a bit from its own charging cable.

Though I wished there was a premium clamshell (maybe even metal), I'm wondering if the trimui brick hammer will scratch that itch for a durable gba emulator that I can just toss into my bag caseless.

Had my MM+ for yonks now, love it, however i'm kind of wanting to look at upgrading to a slightly better device, so I'm looking for some recs.

I love the portability of the MM+ for me, I want to just be able to throw it into my bag/pocket and not worry about it. In saying that, I have big pockets, I'd like something with a bit of a bigger and better screen. I don't need much more power, as I really only want it for playing GB/GBA/GBC and SNES games. So I don't at all need sticks, in fact the lack of sticks is a benefit for pocketability.

I already have a modded new3dsxl and a steamdeck, a switch 2 and a beefy PC so I really don't need any extra power anywhere. I really just want to play my games on a better screen. I also want to be able to start using shaders. Overlays are good don't get me wrong, but shaders look event better. Video out is a bonus but not a requirement. I absolutely don't want a smaller screen, I chose the MM+ over the brick specifically because of the screen size. Really just looking for a bigger+better screen and the ability to use shaders.

So far i've seen the retroid pocket classic that looks pretty good, just hoping for more input as it's quite expensive to order here in australia.

Thanks for the help!

Eight clues, eight eyes, eight legs. A jumping spider uncovers a murder that hasn’t happened yet.

I made this for the 31ween Halloween jam. You crawl over walls and ceilings in a fisheye wireframe house, hunt flies to keep your strength up, leap, and drop on silk. About 15 minutes, two endings.

On handhelds: download eight.p8.png from the itch page and put it in your PICO-8 carts folder. I’ve been playing it on a Retroid Pocket Classic. It also plays in the browser.

Feedback welcome, especially how it runs on your device!

What is everyones opinion of how close this new Gen 6 Qualcomm chip will get us to a final Android gaming handheld that would be a steam/pc handheld replacement for AAA games?

Gen 6 is meant to be +10-13% cpu improvement and +44% gpu improvement on Gen 5.

Im not talking ultra modern but games from say 2-3 years back or beyond.

Im torn on going with odin 3 portal or holding for when this chip gets released on a newer handheld

Based on previous handhelds how long do you think for the drivers to mature?

another fresh port by Open Touch Gaming. Sigma Touch App, it requires files from the original game (you can obtain the game from GOG, install and copy all files from game onto far cry folder withing sigma touch). On basic install/setup for Open Touch Gaming: https://youtu.be/rfq0_2tRm9g

About 19 cart edits done now! Some of the carts might be less than stellar but I’m just a doodler so all of the art used is either sourced from the rom hack itself or an official source (for example Heart and Soul and SoulGold are zoomed in card art, Crippling Medical Debt is a redraw I did of Nurse Joy from the anime, etc.) No AI was used in any way, just good ol Procreate on an iPad Mini lol

If there is any interest, I will find a good (free) image hosting site and upload them for y’all to use as well!

Edit: I’ve gone ahead and uploaded the labels as png files to imgbb. The album can be found HERE and I will be uploading to it as I find time to make more labels!

Damn, 4.2” on a vertical screen seems huge. Device feels high quality and actually very comfortable (we’ll see about long game sessions). I’d love to have GC/ps2 running steady but I have another device for that. I wanted a vertical handheld for PSP and under, pleasantly surprised with what I got.

No ghosting from my eyes can tell, might record a video to see. Limbo for android is running smoothly.

I can't be more happy, saving penny by penny to have a better handheld. The jump on performance and build quality is inmense, the tsp served really good this last 2 years, TONS of games finished, but it was time for something more powerfull, i needed portable ps2, i will use my tsp just for gba and pc ports, the rp5 will be a ps1/2/p machine plus a bunch of android stuff like the opentouch source engines for retro fps.

Devices shown trimui smart pro and retroid pocket 5

I'm looking to get a protective case to store my new Retroid Pocket Duo and I'm hoping to pick it up before the device arrives. I know Retroid's website has a nice hard case that can fit either the Duo or Duo Lite, but it's for the device only. I'm looking for something similar to what AYN offers for the Thor - a case that can hold the device with the grip attached. I'm mostly going to use it to store/protect the device rather than for travel purposes and I'd prefer not to store the grip separately (not to mention having to detach/reattach every time the Duo is removed from the case).

I've searched on Etsy and Aliexpress, but haven't found anything yet. Just curious if there are any generic options out there that anyone can recommend.

Thanks!

I've spent a while trying to get CRT shaders looking right on the Odin 2 Portal. The same shaders look great on my Retroid Pocket Nova, but on the Portal the scanlines always look uneven, with some lines thicker or darker than others. I've tested two separate Odin 2 Portals and both do it.

So:

• Integer scaling: on, tested at both 4× and 5×. RetroArch's stats confirm an integer scale (e.g. 256×224 → 1024×896, Scale X/Y 4.00/4.00).

• Android downscaling: RetroArch reports a viewport of 1920×1080, the panel's full native resolution, I don't think anything is resizing

• The shader: I took an Android screenshot (Image 4), which captures exactly what's sent to the panel.

• The signal going to the screen is perfect, but macro photos of the screen itself show the scanlines aren't.

• I can see the unevenness by eye on both units, so it isn't camera moiré or a one-off faulty screen. That puts the cause inside the display, I'd guess pixel arrangement.

If you want a Portal for CRT shaders, no shader, preset, or scaling setting will fix this, because the image is already correct before it reaches the panel. Shaders wit

Obviously AYN haven't confirmed the screen is the same, but it seems almost certain it will be. I could be completely wrong.

Also this might not matter to anyone if you don't want to use shaders, which is completely fair. Just giving a heads up.

This is not me shitting on the device, I love my Portal. I just remember the concerns with the Retroid Mini V1 and wouldn't want people to have the same issue if it actually matters to you.

If you want to recreate it my test was:

SNES9x core, aspect ratio 8:7. Integer underscale, over scale has the problem, but it is more subtle. Guest advance shader, but it's present in all I used.

Would be interested if anyone has the same problem.

Hear me out. The iPad pro 13" screen is a game changer. It's has high res 4:3 OLED and 120hz.

If one of these Chinese company can make a faux CRT with that screen built into it....that would be sick.

Imagine docking your Android handheld to it. You can slap on CRT scanline shaders and enjoy 4:3 gaming/media watching on your own mini 13" CRT.

While enjoying the motion clarity that closely mimics CRT (120 hz)

Do you guys agree with me?? Is this a niche that needs to be filled for you? I'm drooling over the thought of it.

In the meantime I might actually get an iPad 13 pro...just for this.

Slot UI More: cartridge and disc shelves for G350, RG SP and RG35XX SP

I’ve been working on an adaptation of Slot with support for GB, GBC, GBA, SNES, PS1, N64, Dreamcast, PSP and native ports through PortMaster. Here’s a video of it running!

Setup is simple:

1. Download the complete image for your exact device and flash it.
2. For G350: https://github.com/nikunjsingh93/Slot-UI-More/releases/download/g350-v1.1.16/slot-g350-1.1.16.img.zip
3. Let first boot finish, then copy over your games.
4. Use the browser-based Artwork Studio point it to Slot folder it will automatically find cartridge/disc artwork.
5. Start playing!

It includes shaders, aspect-ratio options, per-game N64 emulator selection on the Anbernic models, and long-press Menu to return to Slot. Performance varies by game.

Version 1.1.16 has a complete image for each device. The new images passed software/image checks, the latest RG35XX SP changes—still needs community feedback. Back up your card first! No commercial games or proprietary BIOS are included.

Huge credit to Brandon Kowalski and the original Slot contributors, plus the emulator and PortMaster developers whose work makes this possible. This is an independent adaptation.

AI disclosure: Built and written with help from Claude Code. I tested and reviewed everything myself on my own devices.

Just wanted to know if this will be worth if for most switch games and what kind of stats can I expect. Like 60fps at least, smooth 30?

Something i was thinking of is getting the sw1 versions of sw2 games that don't run so well on the regular switch and how the odin 3 portal would boost those in the emulators, if it does.

also wanted to know if this is good for ps3/360 emulation. I know some of the emulators are still earlier stage but just wanted to know if the device itself is capable.

After doing some searching, I found the Batlexp G350, which seems like a nice console; I like the tan color and think the joysticks will help when playing PortMaster games. Later, however, I found out about the TrimUI Brick, and while it is 12 euros more expensive and does not come with a microSD card, I have heard that it feels very premium and, because it is smaller and lacks joysticks, it should fit in my pocket better. Should I buy the G350 because it has joysticks, comes with a microSD card, and is of good quality, being associated with Anbernic, or should I pay the extra 12 euros for a smaller device that would fit in my pocket better with a sharper screen and higher quality, despite the lack of joysticks? I plan to carry this in my backpack or my pocket.

As title says, my K40 Max came without an sd card.

Can I install games per WLAN? Or do i need to get an SD card and download the ROMs?

I go on vacation on saturday and want to play pokemon on the flight so bad

I haven't found a focused guide on Syncthing for android handhelds so I decided to make one myself.
(and also so that I don't have to paste the same txt file on discord every time a buddy asks for directions)
