>>
Xperia Play

how much was that setup

i don't

>>3528307
why not

PSP. I know there's better shit at this point, but I got it for dirt cheap and it actually exceeded my expectations (SNES emulation is better than people make it out to be, possibly due to updates).
>>
Daily portable emulation thread, nothing to see here.
>>
I've memorized every square inch of all my favorite games and I play them in my mind.
>>
>>3528303
The controller was 35 bucks and the clip was 15
>>
>>3528331
i sometimes play tetris in mind
>>
>>3528283
IMO, having to lug the extra hardware around kind of nullifies the portability aspect. At least that person understands the importance of physical controls.

I find the PSP is sufficient for my needs. A second stick would be nice, but I probably won't be using it for anything /vr/ anyway. I could seriously use more shoulder buttons, though.
>>
I've been using the NES30 Pro with it's phone clip. I had a DS4 setup similar to OPs but this fits in my bag a lot better.
>>
>>3528283
Just like that.

Except I have the Gamesir.

>>3528385
Not really.

I wait and hope that the square JRPG is ported to iOS. Then I play it for 5-10 minutes a time between patrols.

I use this, it's nice. Unlike the previous shitty version, this one doesn't require a 3rd party app to work with emulators.
>>
I just carry a PSP in my purse. Works for me. Probably tougher to fit in pockets though for that to be viable for most.

I use the Moga for emulators and it is also one of the better controllers for gear VR.

Speaking of VR, I hope they make more retro arcade apps for it. Seeing the old pacman artwork on the machine and looking around while you play it just felt awesome.

>carrying a purse requires a vagina
>>
>>3528283
Depends on what I'm playing, how long I'll be playing, whether I need to use my phone. I have at least half a dozen options available. Including a controller I rarely use because it looks like your goofy clip thing.

I use a wikipad. It runs all the android emulators smoothly except for ppsspp. It can only handle a few games smoothly on ppsspp.
>>
>>3529486
I also use the Moga Hero Power. I sort of hate the analog triggers though, they exert a lot of resistance when you pull them, it almost feels spongey. I'd much rather have trigger buttons, or at least some combination of analog and button triggers like on the gamecube controller.
>>
>>3529570
How else are you supposed to carry it when your hands are full?
>>
>>3530273
It goes over your shoulder. Duh
>>
>>3530280
...Oh. I guess I've been doing it wrong all my life.
>>
>>3529873
that is so sexy

>>3528285
how do you get an Xperia to actually work? I still have my old Verizon one and the thing can barely function anymore

It really is that simple

It should run GBA and SNES just fine. Even my old x8 runs them full speed.
Still, for my emulation I use PSP
>>
>>3530945
Decent for GBA. Usable for SNES RPGs. Worthless for anything more. It's a very old device and was under powered at launch.
>>
I run Retroarch on my phone with the states and saves directory synced to my NAS.
This also two-way syncs with my PC and my android TV in my living room.
Doing this allows me to pick up from where I left off on any device with any emulated platform.
Pretty neat.
>>
nVidia Shield Portable.

Just works. Not cheap, but it just fucking works.
>>
>>3528283

psp
>>
>>3529703
How?
>>
>>3528283
Happy chick with a controller and clip like you have
>>
Gpd xd
>>
>>3528314
Not that guy, but same deal. Mostly because I like vertical shooters and I'm using 3:4 of a 16:9 screen and I hate life. Additionally lag etc etc.
>>

>Happy chick
Always gotta be about your gender. Just post you tranny fuckwad.
>>
>>3529873

Did they fix it yet where the attract mode plays audio? Last I looked into it only your current game had audio.

The best part of old arcades was the mix of background noise from all the other machines and the jukebox music.

New retro arcade has the visuals but last I checked the audio had limitations.

AMAZING! kek
>>
>>3529486
I just got one of these yesterday and I'm liking it. The triggers are pretty crap, and the face buttons are unresponsive at times, but all in all, it's decent. I'm just waiting for my GPD to come in, then I should be set.
>>
>>3528283
That setup is fucking stupid.
>>
>>3531390
It's emulated. Goomba runs on both EZ-Flash IV and EverDrive X5, but obviously compatibility isn't 100%.
>>
>>3532290
What do you want it to do beyond running Playstation and N64 games at full speed?

I don't even think this guy's is OC'd
>>
>>3529502
call it a carryall or satchel. don't be a faggot.

and I'm a gay man who carries a bag.
>>
>>3531946
>>3533276
IIRC battery life goes to all hell with that OC.
>>
>>3533336
I mean, it really is a purse. I'm a tranny.
>>
>>3533276
Nothing. Mine died a few years ago and I never gave a second thought to getting another. Just trying to help some poor kid from being suckered into blowing his allowance on this memeilation turd.
