So, what is the best handheld emulation device?
>>
>>3809676

Theres apparently all kinds of new fangled shit but I always used a PSP and got really good NES, Genesis, GBC, GBA, and PS1. PS1 is run natively.

But I'm sure there's better stuff out there now
>>
>>3809676
look up jxd s7800b, it'S pretty good for handheld emulation and you can do normal tablet stuff too
>>
>>3809702
man I always hated that PSP could not do good Amiga emulation, can't even load .hdf files
>>
Hey, what happens if you run a PAL ROM on a NTSC/UC PSP connected to a NTSC/UC CRT?

Will it damage the ROM, PSP, or even CRT?

And the same question but change out PSP for Wii?
>>
>>3809818
It'll probably work but it'll be buggy.
>>
>>3809702
I too love my PSP, have been emulating/using homebrew on it ever since the scene began (nearly 10 years ago now? wow that flew by).

Thing I love most is PS1 emulation, runs so smoothly it's an absolute joy. I adore the ps1 library. And GBA also has some quality stuff.

The only set back is N64 emulation is poor. I've actually used Daedelus and completed the first few levels on SM64, and have also tried OoT (but it crashes randomly.) Such a shame, because it actually looks like the PSP could pull it off if the developers were willing to put alot more time into it (obviously, dont think they will anymore).

Lastly, PSP library is pretty fantastic too.
My favourite game is MHP3rd with the English patch (which i found very difficult to locate online). Once you've got a copy though, and the games in English, you are in for the best MH on the platform imo, and also the best looking game.

PSP's are so affordable too. Buy one with a faulty UMD drive dead cheap on ebay (£20-25), but a 32gb microsd (official one, £10). And bam, you have a portable library that will occupy alot of your free time for years to come. As well as this, the emulators are easy to install, and some beautiful people at emuparadise uploaded every PS1 game already converted into the PSP friendly format.

>TLDR

I absolutely love my PSP.

>>
>>3809854
Gotta agree that it's hard to beat this for "best" between specs and form factor.
>>
>>3809869
Bettery life could be better, around 5 hours when using emulators isn't the best, but at least we have proper battery banks nowadays.

Good thing is it can run emulators ARM emulation devices can't. Like playing Nintendos Wii titles perfectly.
>>
>>3809854
It would be best if the Y button was Yellow instead of Green.
>>
>>3809887
in the correct product the Y is green and A is yellow, probably because they don't want to get into problems with Microsoft
get xbone controller buttons and replace them if it triggers your autism
>>
>>3809885
Is the battery easily swappable or does it require disassembly? Can you hot swap batteries while it's plugged in?
>>

No, you have to take it apart.

Win does better performance wise, but cuts the battery life slightly
>>
>>3809949
also I like the buttons placement more on the gpd XD.
Then, it's a matter of Android vs Win10 for a handheld.
>>
>>3809950
Yeah, the XD is pretty much a gamepad smartphone without the phone, while the Win can do /g/ and /v/ too
>>

>he got an IBM PC instead of an arcade cabinet

>>
>>3809950
You can't get Linux on that thing? That'd probably help with performance.
>>
>>3809962
On the GPD Win? I dunno.
>>
>>3809962
The XD? Nope, no drivers.
Win? Nope too, right now there are too many drives issues.
>>
>>3809962
If we are talking about the Win, then you probably won't gain anything for emulation even if it had drivers for it, but you would miss out of Windows games
>>
>>3809965
>>3809967
That's a shame. A lightweight distribution or even something like Lakka would be great on one of those.
>>
>>3809851

Same here man. I've known of/lurked about the PSP homebrew community since around 2008, but didn't actually mod mine until 2010-11. Wish I did it far sooner once I finally did.

PS1 emulation is grand. The games that work (very few end up not working. Literally 2 of 50+ I've tried, and they'd probably be fine if I messed with pops) look so good on the PSP's screen. And I've never had an issue with GBA emulation either despite what I read here and there.

I didn't bother trying N64 because I heard it was pretty hit or miss. That would've been awesome if more time was put into it though.

SNES was always spotty for me. Some games worked and worked great, but others were unplayable. DKC was one of those. Didn't mess too much more with it because I have a SNES and Wii anyway.

I think my favorite emulator has been PicoDrive throughout the years, simply because I've not encountered the first issue out of it. I know no emulation is perfect, but PicoDrive is just so smooth. NesterJ is great too and sometimes has a better picture than my CRT.

I recommend PSPs every time I'm able but I just know there are better things out there now. I have no need to switch it up though.

Also on a sidenote, they are bringing out a gpd pocket, looks just the same but with only keyboard (and better specs). Maybe combined with a BT controller that would be a better choice to get? Wouldn't be as portable though...

I literally took a loan to buy one straight away, in mail right now, probably gonna arrive tomorrow.
Sold some old Apple shit I had laying around and payed back the loan already.

There are many great reviews, even the LinusTechTips one is informative.

>Also on a side note, they are bringing out a gpd pocket, looks just the same but with only keyboard (and better specs). Maybe combined with a BT controller that would be a better choice to get? Wouldn't be as portable though...
It has exactly the same hardware specs, except it's bigger with a bigger screen, if you want gayming and emulation, I guess the GPD Win is still a better idea.
>>
>>3810270
Perfect as in as perfect the emulator lets it.
Playing Blast Corps on Project64 works fine.
>>
>>3810274
That's kind of what I figured, thanks for the clarification. Sounds pretty sweet, the control layout would be the only hangup for me.

I found another kickstarter Handheld which is going to come out this year:

>SMACH
here is the 3d model
https://sketchfab.com/models/ff363af8f1c6443e98c247d44c07ac7e?utm_medium=embed&utm_source=website&utm_campain=share-popup

Here the promo vid with germans speaking english:
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/smach-z-the-handheld-gaming-pc-games#/updates

The kickstart arleady way at 600$, so you could expect that it's even gonna cost more when going public

Not a fan of the steam joysticks, but if you scroll down you can see that you can switch out the controls how you like it .

Size is a bit smaller than the WiiU controller, that is nothing you can stick in your pocket...

It sound pretty sweet, but at that price-range there is alot you can buy
>>
>>3809676
>So, what is the best handheld emulation device?

call me a fag but i was a long time very happy with my psp.
Could play and do anything on it.
PS1 - PSP - Gameboy (up to advance) - N64 - Dos - SNES - NES. Good price / easy to costumize. Runs smooth.
>>
>>3810295
The thing about the Smach Z is it's meme steam controller controls and layout, also it's size.
Obviously it has a better CPU/GPU but I'm really not sold because it's form factor.
>>
>>3810304
>meme

holy shit fucking stop.
>>
>>3810309
What, it's _literary_ only good for FPS games. Even then a thumbstick is better for actual movement.

Specially worthless for emulation.
>>
>>3810312
using meme as shorthand for something I don't like is an immense sign of faggotry no matter what.
>>
>>3810317
I never said I don't like it, it's fine for FPS games.
Using "meme" means it's overhyped.

So how is a 3ds as handehld emulator?? Shouldn't that be a nice way to take since you can get the whole 3ds library with it?
Does it lack in emulation?
>>
>>3810360
But the DS is easy to emulate by itself already and it's mostly too weak to do any heavier lifting, like even PSX properly
>>
>>3810336
kek, I'm finding more and more crowdfund handhelds, all with Win 10

Those things are not even ready, at least the GPD Win exists.

I want something like the GPD Win but with more power, hopefully someone will do it.
>>
Which is the best emulation device among today's handhelds? Vita or 3DS?

Can Vita do what PSP did so well?
>>
>>3810360
It's pretty good for 16-bit and under. At least on my New3DS. The screen is really good and it's 240p.
That's good enough for me, because I'd rather play 3D games in HD.
>>
>>3810383
No. Vita isn't a good choice. ARM handhelds do even better.
>>
>>3810386
>>3810391
Can you do decent MAME or Neo Geo on 3DS?
>>
>>3810419
I haven't tried Neo Geo.
I haven't used MAME much, but lightweight games seem to work.
The Simpsons Arcade Game runs fullspeed. Phelios does not, because of the scaling effects I assume.
>>
>>3809676
meh, just get a decent tablet, kickstand case, and bluetooth controller

PS2? Yeah, titles that run well with PCSX2 run fine, as it even plays Wii titles with Dolphin.
For PC games, older titles run fine like a normal PC, newer games, don't expect any wonders, GTA V with PS3 level graphics at 30 frames is doable though, also Fallout 4, Skyrim, etc.

A small warning though, it will take tweaking and configuring, also probably the best idea is to get it from a reseller, might be more expensive, but at least you can return it or exchange it if it's a faulty unit, not to mention faster shipping then from China, as there have been reports of some units failing or having faults.

I use a jailbroken iPhone 7 Plus with pic related.

All I want is to play Phantasy Star Online and FF12 on-the-go. I'm tempted to get a cheap quad-core laptop like an i7559 to do so. I had a Surface Book that I got for school, and it ran PCSX2 like shit.
>>
>>3813787
What kind of tweaking? Could you give some pointers for that? I was gonna buy it from eBay, from a "excellent seller" and from the UK.

I thank you for your support and help, anon.
>>
>>3813954
There's lots of info on reddit about it or just googleing, like disabling Connected Standby and tweaking power profiles or a few BIOS settings to get the most out of it.
A good bonus would be getting a microSD and low profile USB 3.0 flash drive too for extended storage.

Mostly the tweaking it's with newer games, if youre into that, like low resolution texture mods, etc.
Else it's pretty much standard PC stuff, the controller registers either as a dinput or xinput device depending on what profile you switch it on.

Anyways, just to be sure, make sure the seller is willing to accept it back if it turns out there's something wrong with it, in Europe there are a few online shops that deal with the devices too.
Personally the few other people I know who have it too had no problems.
>>
>>3813979
When I do get the money to buy it I'll check out Google for the tweaking. I still need to get a microSD for softmoding my Wii, so maybe I'd only have to emulate till ps2.

I think I'll be very excited when I get this little bad boy. You could play anything and everything on the go, and it has phisical controls.

I think he does have a return policy, plus since I am in Latin America it could still take a while for me to get it, when I do buy it. Again thanks a lot, anon. You're pretty cool

Huh, I never ran into issues with Mother 3 and I played the entire game on PSP. I did think of a few other games that had problems though (Banjo Kazooie, some Famicom Mini games) but they either didn't boot or froze almost immediately. Pretty seldom occurence, so not a deal-breaker for me.

Speaking of Famicom, does anyone have experience with running FDS games on PSP? I've emulated FDS on my PC and Wii fine, but no success with PSP yet.

GBA is pretty good if you don't want to play Banjo-Kazooie: Grunty's Revenge, Rayman: Hoodlum's Revenge or Mario Golf. For some reason, these games (and bit more) don't work on GpSP Kai.

SNES is hit or miss. The DKC trilogy is almost unplayable with sound but games like Secret of Evermore and Sparkster run well with Snes9XTYL (with occasional slowdowns but nothing very notable). I finished Mega Man X with that emulator and only one section of the Launch Octopus stage gave me heavy slowdowns.

Last time they posted an actual prototype they couldn't even fit the hardware into a small case. The thing was triple the size of PSP.

Also passive cooling. GPD tried that but quickly realised that it's not going to fly on x86 systems.

>>3810332
>>3810336
And these buttons are all "pre-sold out". Enjoy waiting an extra year in the long line to make shit actually playable.


>>3810374
Only way that could happen, is AMD processors, but they require proper cooling. Reason I didn't go with SMACH is because those guys are adamant on the passive cooling and retarded controls. Also ridiculous overpricing and overprojecting, like extreme resolution on the display, without taking into account that no game would be even playable at such resolution with the provided specs.

>>3811614
Literally a Win10 netbook with Athom z8700, but 4 times smaller and with built-in gamepad.

>>3814830
If you do not care about PC titles or anything above N64/Dreamcast - get GPD XD. Not all Dreamcast games would work well, but most of them will. Also some N64 titles will be a bit buggy/slow because N64 emulation is universally shit.

GPD Win can do Dreamcast better, and in addition PS2, Gamecube/Wii and older PC titles.

Battery life is actually compareable (Win has bigger battery to compensate for consumption)

I recently tried a few of the more ambitious GBA games on my PSP (Duke Nukem, Driv3r, Kill Switch), and it pretty much failed across the board. Each game had severe slowdown, one just straightup crashed the whole emulator.

PSP with CFW or a New 3DS with CFW are both pretty nice, if you already have a PSP/N3DS lying around.

PSP runs PSX natively, but has shit SNES/GBA emulation, and the N3DS is substantially better with SNES and GBA but terrible with PSX.

Seems like a good enough thread to ask:
Just got a new phone and a tiny 8bitdo controller to go with it (pic related, I like it a lot except that mousebot (little phone game I'm suddenly into) doesn't work with it) . My last phone was limited to what emulators it could run, but now the sky is the limit. What should I shoot for? Retroarch any good? pros cons to each? Looking for battery life and compatibility mostly. 100% accuracy isn't that important...

Hah, can confirm they fixed it.
Just tested it, it used to be 50ms but now it's 15ms, that's as fast as a xbone controller.
>>
Uh, I guess this is the best place to ask without starting my own thread. I ordered a Wii classic controller that plugs into the GC controller port and it's great, but the d pad keeps registering diagonal movement on one side. How can I fix that?
>>
>>3832272
Like, after you press it, it keeps registering it or all the time? The button itself presses fine, nothing weird to the touch?
>>
>>3832278

Left-diagonal is whats registering. It only occasionally does it when I try to go left, but it's frequent enough to want to fix it. And no, the button itself presses fine. Nothing weird.

I saw in a thread awhile ago some guy used black tape to fix a bootleg NES controller that did the same thing but I can't remember how he did it.
>>
>>3832335
The first thing would probably be opening it up and cleaning it with alcohol and q-tips, both the contacts and rubber part.
About the black tape, if it's shorting the pad out somehow it shouldn't, you might need to limit it's size with the tape.
>>
>>3832335
also check that there are no other shorts on the board
>>
>>3832335
He just did an X shape with like cut to half size electrical tape. It prevented the pads from registering where they weren't supposed to, but didn't interfere with intentional presses. It looked like a clever idea, I've been meaning to try it but haven't yet.
>>
>>3832496

That's exactly the guy I'm talking about. So did he just place the tape in an X over where the pad registers? Wish I saved pics. Hope someone did.

>>3832342

Yeah I'm gonna open it up this weekend. It's a sick ass controller. Doesn't feel cheap at all and the buttons feel great. Was bummed it was getting stuck.
>>
>>3832506
The tape didn't touch any of the pads, it was an X between the pads, like this terrible picture I just drew. The guy said it worked and it seems plausible and it's basically free, so why not.
>>
>>3832521

Perfect. You are a good man, anon. Thank you.

I have a GPD Win, mine is going back as it's one of the first ones that had hardware issues, but I've seen others that work very well. Mine works too, just not as well as it should.

It's usable.
NES/GBA/SNES/SEGA/MAME runs at full speed.
I haven't test the others.
DS is a hit and miss, Mario suffered very low frames, while Ace attorney runs normal.
Haven't tested the PSP, since I used adrenaline I've tested FF1 and NFS and it runs smoothly.
PSX runs at acceptable fps, though I only tested SH and FF5.
Didn't test the rest.

No one ever mentions the nVidia Shield Portable. Probably because few people had one. You can get em for around $250.

Absolutely fucking spectacular. Sure, the PSP is great, but the Shield Portable does every emulator that's in the Android store, including N64 and evidently Dolphin is even usable.

It's got a super long battery life. Controls can be configured to map to on-screen controls, but the controller part of it ALWAYS works.

And it has an SD slot and an HDMI out. I use a buncha 64 GB sd cards to hold my PSP games, my PSX games, and like, every No Intro ever. Take it with me everywhere.

Just beat The Legend of Zelda on it tonight. I fucking love this thing. It's what happens when a real major electronics firm decides to specifically make the ultimate emulation portable, but disguises it as a way to play PC games in your living room, or on your deck.
>>
>>3835143
Oh, and why is the Shield better than the PSP? Because you can use PPSPP and thus, you have a fast forward button!!!! Indispensable for Final Fantasy games.

And it's better than a GP32 or any of those things because it's Android-based. You can even use one of the thumbsticks as a mouse, in the OS. This even works for DOS games.
>>
>>3834631
Why would you by used one?
Brand new cost around 200$.

>>3835096
Magic?
Retroarch uses libretro library which utilize cores to emulate the games.
Reducing overhead for better performance though some games do have issues.

no, the Vita is obviously superior hardware wise, but it has almost no games of it's own and is just a bulkier device compared to the PSP, because the systems the Vita can emulate, the PSP already can emulate fine, you don't really gain anything, still limited to the same size emulation and game library

IMO, Yes.
The PSP is better than Vita.
While hardware wise the vita is superior, the PSP triumph with better CFW and better controls.

All of these are meaningless with emulation.
The vita buttons are smaller than the PSP.

By your logic a phone with gamepad is a game console.
>>
>>3836394
Nope, it's marketed as a phone, Shield and OUYA are consoles, so are many other Android devices like the GPD XD.

The PS4 and Switch run BSD, does that also make them servers? Because it's mostly a server OS.

Shield is better than GPD for three reasons:

1: Battery life. It holds about 12 hours of juisce.

2: Controller. Your hands don't cramp because it's got a build in duke. I can't use a PSP or DS for more than an hour without my hands cramping.

3: nVidia is a major company and continues to update the Shield, even though it's discontinued. nVidia is a massive company and isn't going anywhere, and is based in the US. I've heard some nasty stories about dealing with GPD corporate when shipments are late or missing.

I emulate everything up to GameCube and wii (dolphin)

No need to hack a switch to be honest
>>
>>3826550
Now that the Switch is out, it is confirmed that it actually has the same amount of horsepower when in portable mode then the GPD Win, but the Win still has better battery life.
Guess the Intel HD chip in the Win isn't really that bad afterall, in the sense how fast you can make it at the size and power requirements.

What do you mean?

In what ways are ARM chips less suitable for emulation than X86 chips?

What about the PowerPC chips in the Wii/Xbox360/ and older Macs?

How does the Cell processor of the PS3 fare in emulation?
>>

kek
>>
>>3840487
Cell is a PowerPC chip at it's core, stop asking the same question twice...
>>
>>3840487
ARM is meant for low power devices. That said, PPC has been almost abandoned and a Raspberry Pi 3 would be a better option than a PowerMac G5. Cell died as a viable option the second Sony killed Linux on PS3. Wii is decent, but again a Raspberry Pi 3 or Odroid C2 would be a better option for emulation today. x86 will be the best choice for the foreseeable future. Intel/AMD aren't hamstrung by power concerns, and you don't need to worry about them dropping support when they need to sell more cellphones.
>>
>>3840527
Both Intels and AMDs development in x86 lower power chips is going strong though.

The last Atoms that came out could beat any ARM chip of the time while being in the same power class.
>>
>>3840535
It's beside the point. ARM succeeds because they are cheaper and can be produced by anyone with a license. They will continue to have active development because of this.

>running n64 and ps2 as example
There are no emulators for these, yet.
N64 and PS2 emulation isn't perfect to this day.
Vita can do great job emulating 5th gen and below, same as PSP but with the added vita library.

>So, what is the best handheld emulation device?

They all have their share of problems. You're better off picking a handheld and just sticking with whatever library of games is available to it. GBA, DS and PSP all have a considerable number of compilations of retro games, so that's also something to consider. PSP-1000s are dirt cheap and easy to softmod for emulation / homebrew, so that's yet another thing to consider. Good luck with dead pixels though.

Mobile is a waste of time. Most emulators are commercial apps that typically aren't cracked, some require you to root your phone, and even after all of that, they typically perform like shit anyway.

I was just able to pick up a PSP 3000 in great shape for $60 from a local shop w/ two batteries and a MicroSD to Memory Stick adaptor, if you can even get a 2000 or Go around that, they are fantastic for PS1/NES/Genesis/Classic MAME, and can do most GBA and some SNES. Plus PSP had some good games
>>
>>3842218
Cool, but the 2000 has a shittier screen, also if you just use it for emulation and have small hands, the Go is good too.

Fallout new vegas plays ok on low settings plus mods. So its everything you could ever want for handheld gaming. Emus, native pc games and is basically a computer you can hook up to a monitor/tv.

Amiga on psp

But, why?

Elite fronteir, it came from the dessert, b.a.t. 1&2! But dos is alright alternatve for these games.

How would you use a keyboard mouse combo on psp. Anolog stick would suck for point and click.

Java emulation is good on psp, the elders scrolls stormhold and dawnstar are interesting if your a tes fan!
>>
>>3843359
>Elite fronteir, it came from the dessert, b.a.t. 1&2! But dos is alright alternatve for these games.
Kek, Elite isn't even close to as good as the Amiga version on DOS, almost all games of the time have better versions on the Amiga.

>How would you use a keyboard mouse combo on psp. Anolog stick would suck for point and click.
Why would you need a mouse and keyboard? Almost all games use the gamepad anyways and even then stick works great as a mouse, look at the GPD Win.

>my system can't emulate X but it's still good guis! just don't play X!
>>
>>3843370
I said alright alternative. Can you comprehend words??

Play fronteir without a mouse & keyboard, you cant.

Why did you even reply, are you autistic?

You didnt answer any of my questions and couldnt understand what "alright alternative" means. Your worthless! A waste of a person! you dont deserve to breathe! Go fucking choke on tranny cock faggot!
>>
>>3843393
Well, and I said it isn't even close to an alright alternative.
Also you brought up Frontier, I didn't even think you meant playing it on the PSP if you said DOS, because it's as unplayable on it as the Amiga version.

I answered all your questions, I said Amiga has good games and they would be great to play with the PSP using it's gamepad.

You really have some mental problems there, m8.
>>
>>3843408
You cant comprehend shit.
Trying to flip it like you didnt know what i was talking about.
Yes, there is dos versions that run fine! And they are "alright alternatives"

You naver said anything about amiga games being fun to play on psp. You just went off on the analog stick is good for point and click, but refered to the gpd win. Like wtf, that doesnt answer my question of how would someone use a mouse & keyboard combo on psp! You never answered my original question either. Why would you want to?

Then you did a bitch move by assuming i was saying system x cant emulate such and such. I dont even own a psp. Ive never owned one!

>>3843774
What would be the problem then when you get a good unit?

Technically off-topic, but can Banjo Kazooie be emulated well yet?
>>
>>3843778
There are many "issues" that do not make your unit faulty and that you are likely to encounter with chinese shit (i know virtually everything is built in china but you know what I mean). I can't comment on the Win because I don't have one but I've had the "chinese issues" situation one time too many already. Also, going through the warranty takes time and that can be a high price to pay already.
>>
>>3843787
It is right now one of a kind device and worth every penny for someone who has an use for it.

It's just a lottery with the chinese quality control as always. Buying from a reseller is reccomended.

>>3843790
So you agree with my first post, being chinese is the Win's worst "feature"

Actually the SoC is designed by Intel and that makes up most of the device. Not to mention having good warranty. If you want to bitch, bitch about QC.

I might even need someone to go through this with because it's proving a little too difficult to me

it spills into emulation but I don't think there's a specific thread there
I've been trying to rip sound effects from PS1 games, I've been using PS Sound and jpsxdec and those have been working for the most part however, there's one game I have been trying to get the sounds from and I just can't, nothing usual works

I'm trying to get the fighting sound effects from Battle Arena Toshinden; I've tried my physical disc and mounting an ISO I downloaded and neither produce any results

the files that show up in the disc and the music tracks (asking to rip to various music programs) and two other files:
SCUS_942.00 and SYSTEM.CNF

I'm yet to try a CNF reader that actually shows the files
I'm really stuck, can anybody help?

I guess I could try another image, I had assumed that it would be the same all around, as I mentioned; I've used my physical copy--which plays perfectly--and this ISO--which also plays perfectly--and I have no results

I've done some more googling and I can't get an actual CNF reader, but I'm assuming the data may actually be in the other file, from what I'm getting, the CNF is more than likely just code which makes everything "work"

I'll get around to downloading another ISO and hopefully I'll get some results but while I'm doing that, if anybody here knows something--or knows somebody--that can help, I'd greatly appreciate it

This has been an on-off thing for myself for a year now since I don't actually get that much free time with work in the way and each time I take a break to think of a way around it, I get the same issue

DOS and old Windows games?
>>
>>3867998
And anything I can emulate, really. I don't want to put too much demands on it, but the more games I can play on it the better.

It has:
-Windows 7 Professional
-i3 380m @ 2.53GHz
-4 GB ram 531Mhz
-Nvidia GeForce GT 420M (Mali)
-931 GB HDD

What should I be looking to install? Would a launcher be worth having in such a weak computer? Any of said launchers which would let me play mostly PS1, GB, GBA, GBC, NES, and SNES games without killing my computer?

Like, I've been looking at multiple emulators for each of those, seen a few launchers, read a bunch of "programs you must have" list and other stuff, but I decided I might as well ask the people currently with set-ups what has worked for them.
>>
>>3868024
It will be fine up (including) to PS2 easily. All those you listed it will do without breaking a sweat.

A launcher is always worth having if you want to dedicate the machine for it or just have a easy way to access all of them in one place, specially if you emulate multiple systems, makes thing much easier.

I usually like to use a frontend/launcher together with different dedicated emulators.
Check out EmulationStation. You can configure different emulators to run under it and quickly launch roms through it.
>>
>>3868028
Thank you very much for the info. I'll look into EmulationStation and run it.

Honest question here. I'm very seriously not baiting, I want to know what I'm missing here.

Why have a standalone portable for emulation when a mobile phone with a decent controller can usually accomplish better results? I can understand if you don't have a high-end phone, but if you're looking to toss hundreds of dollars at a standalone device, then you probably have a decent phone.

Today's flagship phones have 5 inch QHD screens with processors and GPUs that are more than capable of pushing very detailed CRT shaders at that resolution using huge integer scaling with no slowdown. Spend $30 on an 8bitdo snes30 and a clip to hold your phone onto it. My s8 can emulate everything up to PS1 with no slowdown. Why not go this route?

> Wasting your phone battery
Phones have large batteries and charge quickly now. My Android phone can get a consistent 3-4 hours of emulation before getting low and regularly gets half a battery in 20-30 minutes of wireless charging. I can understand this argument if you actually use your phone for other stuff on the go, though, but I'd be willing to bet that most of us don't constantly use our phones for normie stuff.

> Controllers aren't portable
The fuck they aren't. The form factor of an SNES controller is smaller than a lot of portable handhelds, and they even make portable controllers as small as a pack of gum that have pretty good d-pads and buttons.

> Controllers are an eyesore
This is the only convincing argument I've ever heard. I heard it from my wife who stated that I, and this is verbatim, "look like a man-child with a controller attached to that thing" I'm cool with that, though. If a 30-something wielding a 3DS can be acceptable in public, so can a controller phone mount.

> Controllers have to be removed to comfortably use it like a phone again
Yeah, you can have this one. If controller phone clips hinged all the way back so you could tuck the controller flat behind the phone to quickly use it for something else without having to take it apart, I'd be happy.

> On a hackable device, play your old and new games on one system
Okay, mobile games suck ass. I get that. But most handheld games can also be emulated on a phone, including DS and PSP games.

You can get away with anything as long as you look attractive.

>>3868641
that's the point I'm making
so unless you/him are attractive, it's not going to work
I've not played a portable outside the house (except in a hotel) since I was 13 and that was POKéMON LeafGreen

Not half terrible with 15ms. Most wireless controllers pc and console do much worse.

That's literary how a wired Xbox One controller would perform. Also the difference between wireless and wires is between 1-2ms

I used to use my Nvidia Shield Portable but the screen broke a year ago. It ran everything on RetroArch at the best that each emulator core could do. Reicast ran at full fucking 60FPS on this baby but 2d games needed work at the time but playing 3D Dreamcast games was a-ok in the meantime. Pretty much any Android device using a Tegra 4 and above should be good for emulating.

>Why not go this route?

Why bother if a device already exist that does all that and is way more comfortable and portable?

Also, if we take the GPD Win for example, it's 300 bucks, can play retro to newer PC games and emulate everything up the Wii perfectly and even run most Wii titles perfectly.

Now I have a small device with a capable battery, it's a clamshell and fits in my pocket, don't have to worry about scratching the screen or ruining controls, I don't have to worry about two batteries, carrying out a tablet/phone and a gamepad with it's clip. Not to mention, no phone rivals it with it's software library and performance. This is running stock Windows.

Not only have I a handheld for emulation now, I can even play PC games, steam games from my computer, watch youtube videos, shitpost on 4chan way more comfortably with a real keyboard instead of just a touchscreen and even more, even at the same time if I wish.

What was stated is that it has almost no native Vita games not that the person's preferences in games is almost none.

It doesn't look like a real keyboard.
>>
>>3869112
It's not a touchscreen keyboard, it's a physical keyboard with buttons that are very comfortable for thumb typing.

The keyboard doesn't look centered. Is that an issue?
Can you use an external keyboard or is the screen useless unless you hold it in your hand?

>The keyboard doesn't look centered. Is that an issue?
I hasn't been for me, both of my thumbs go over the middle of the keyboard os all buttons are still easily pressable, the standard layout also makes it easy to even type without looking.

>Can you use an external keyboard
It has full sized USB and Bluetooth, you could use any USB or Bluetooth keyboard.

>is the screen useless unless you hold it in your hand?
It's small, you can easily get away by using it on the table to watch a video, but I don't think it would be comfortable to try reading on it from far away, like using it as a laptop with an external keyboard.

This looks hella cool and definitely serves perfectly as an indie steam machine but my biggest gripe is that improper controller layout so I might as well stick to my Nvidia Shield Tablet which can run Wii and Dreamcast at way better speeds.

Sure thing, there already was a thread about that in /v/ or /g/ and the conclusion was that it wasn't nowhere better, the Shield actually got frame drops in games like Super Mario Sunshine where the Win didn't.

Is the GCW Zero worth checking out? I like the 320x240 res it has and stuff is still being worked on for the device.
