Just wondering if theres any updates/changes in this space? Only thing i can think of is that the Clockwork Gameshell seems to be popular now (if its now availble on amazon) I was looking into that one actually but was put off by the screen (Also I have no idea if that would meet my needs of GBA and SNES support)

Personally, I would love to see simply a better bittboy pocket go (The wide one) that had a good processor for SNES games

Yeah, I go on about snes a lot, but tbh I'm not interested in playing special chip games, just mainly I want to play Earthbound (Although giving mario rpg a play would be nice...)

Well, the latest updates I’ve seen are the new analogue console, and some more Chinese ones

at the moment I’m looking on actually buying one! that RG350 looks good, aperently it has the fastest processor for non android and runs a lot of ps1 game’s at full speed..

Get a GPD XD+ The unit runs off of android and can rull all the way up to Dreamcast/ps1/n64/saturn & snes.

I'm completely disgusted with "Retro Game" devices. They're not all that cheap, new "improved" ones aren't necessarily better (Sometimes they're worse: compare "Retro Game" and "Retro Game Plus"), and the quality of the parts is complete rubbish. I've had 2 "Retromini" RS-90 devices fail (one screen stopped working, the other randomly freezes) and one original Retrogame RS-97 mysteriously die. (Retromini is the only one of these junky things that actually runs opendingux.)

Used N3DS/PSP isn't so much more expensive than this junk. (Especially when 3 or 4 new hardware revisions appear each year....) Less likely to fall apart and VC injection, CFW, emulators etc. is pretty easy compared to trying keep up with these constantly revised--but not necessarily improved-- underpowered Ingenic/Allwinner crap hardware stuffed into different cases to fool the next batch of suckers.

And then there's the software: a confusing mess because the hardware keeps changing. Some "Retro Games" are will run some (static) OpenDingux Dingoo binaries, some will require porting and rebuilding. Too bad at least 3 different "Retro Games" look almost exactly the same. Maybe the next model will have a weird screen resolution and everything will have to be rebuilt. If you have more than one of these devices, plan to dedicate quite a few GB on your linux box to multiple buildroots.

I'm about set to sell my whole RG-thisandthat collection on eBay and rm -rf all this crap.

    @SylverReZ if you could find a v5 DS ML you would have the best of both worlds since the v5 units had the same backlight brightness levels as the DS Lite unlockable with flashme

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

    Agreed, that why I try to buy all my games on disc, Xbox anyways. Switch games (which I pirate tbh) don't matter much, I stay offline 24/7 anyways.

    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
    +1
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:
  • cearp @ cearp:
    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm

    i like physical media because it actually feels like you own it. thats why i plan on burning music to cds
  • cearp @ cearp:

    @rqkaiju2, Physical media is a great source for archiving your data, none of that cloud storage shiz.
