Whats are the different methods of viewing GBAtemp from a mobile device? Heres what ive come up with.

EDIT: Ok tapatalk
-works great
-was free for a day so I grabbed it. Or maybe its free for now. I dont know.
-handles everything like i asked.
-the only thing i cant seem to get are "notifications" like the full site. I cant see if someone quoted me or anything. or liked my posts.

Seems to be the official plugin for mobile xenforo. Is it free or what? Why dont we have this?

Through a default browser
-On Android, you can easily do it, but my phone is bigger than most (Razr HD) but you still have to zoom in to read posts. When posting, the screen zooms in unnecessarily, and makes it hard to work with. Sigs take up SO much room its insane, and there is no way to just "ignore sigs" like IPB.
-Home screen is un-rearrangable, at least for me, or maybe im doing something wrong.
-Alerts are a hassle, because the browser version, they are "mouse over, drop down". on mobile, you have to tap and wait, and i usually miss, going to the search panel.

Are there "Forum" viewing apps that support Xenofro? I know IPB V4 used to be view able with the Tapatalk, but i remember the app being garbage and NOT FREE. I think there was another one... "Forum Runner" or something for XF, but i dont know about that one either. Then again we had mobile skins for GBAtemp back then too. soo.

Is there a mobile skin in the works? Or is my best bet to be going with a forum viewer app?

What would be even better, is if someone (staff or otherwise), could code a GBAtemp app. I know that requires time, effort, and know how, and lots of people have little of that.

Tapatalk free? Link please?

Mobile skin would be great, the only reason id love to see an app, is to i can get notification from GBAtemp on my phone.

Yea this site is annoying to use on the go, my blackberry hates it and runs out of memory errors if I have JavaScript enabled on the site with it though I think it's blackberrys browser on os6 that causes it as the phone is not out of memory when that happens.

My iPhone is ok on safari with the temp but some options are a pain to use like alerts and opera mini crashes often on the temp :(

Well your problem is probably that you are using a blackberry :P no its a mobile eyesore from anywhere really, but tapatalk seems to have fixed most everything for me.

Ok so heres the problem im experiencing. On the Tapatalk, I get "alerted" when someone responds to a topic am following, but not when i get likes or quoted. Is there something im doing wrong? Thats kind central to keeping on top of my discussions I would like to be part of.

Also, can someone on the staff look at the link that I and pshswind or whoever posted about Xenforo's mobile package. Does that cost something? Or is our forum too customized to do that? Whats the deal, cause GBAtemp is a wreck on mobile.

A mobile theme was the first thing I asked for when the site was last revamped. Posted once a week or so for a while looking for updates until I finally gave up... I bought the Tapatalk app forever ago but didn't care much for the interface. Just been viewing the full site on my iPhone for the past few months...

Actually there is, in the preferences.
But you probably won't need to know what since you switched over to Tapatalk.
Ooh, I mean I did see that. I don't want to ignore all sigs, with IPB we had the option to ignore specific members and specific sigs. I'm not using tapTalk exclusively either, a majority still happens laptop side.

oh you poor thing. Well id like to push again, seeing as there is a lreadily available pluggin for use, we just don't have it. And not having a proper way to check notifications through tapTalk is killing me.

Problem is when they enable that annoying plugin it also becomes an advertisement for taptalk :/ (if you dont have it and you try to get into the forum it tells you that this site uses tapatalk and a link to there app) a generalized mobile version too at least would help

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @AncientBoi, Yeah, believe you can do PSP games as well. But a Pi5 is much powerful in comparison.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Not sure about other models of Pi4 but the Pi 4 B with 8GBs OCed to 2Ghz handles PSP really great except like 1 game I found and it is playable it just looks bad lol Motor Storm Arctic something or other.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Other games I can have turned up to like 2X and all kinds of enhancements, Motorstorm hmmm nope 1X and no enhancements lol

    I will admit that one does seem more interesting than the usual Ambernic ones, and I already liked those.

    I dread the price point.

  • Veho @ Veho:
    This looks like one of their premium models, so... $150 :glare:

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    To me that seems reasonable.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I mean since basically all the games are errmmm free lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean yeah sure but the specs are the same as a $50 model, it's just those pesky "quality of life" things driving up the price, like an actually working speaker, or buttons that don't melt, and stuff like that.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I think all in my Pi 4 was well north of 200 bucks 150ish for the Pi 4 the case the fancy cooler, then like 70 for the 500GB MicroSD then like 70 for the Xbox controller. But honestly it's a nice set up I really enjoy and to me was worth every penny. (even bought more controllers for 2 or 4 player games.) hmmm have never played any 2 player games yet :(
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Yeah that's what I hate about the RPi, it's supposedly $30 or something but it takes an additional $200 of accessories to actually turn it into a working something.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    yes that's the expensive part lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I mean sure it's flexible and stuff but so is uremum but it's fiddly.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah a lot of it I consider a hobby, using Batocera I am constantly adjusting the collection adding and removing stuff, scraping the artwork. Haven't even started on some music for the theme... Also way down the road I am considering attempting to do a WiiFlow knock off lol
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I want everything served on a plate plz ktnx, "work" is too much work for me.
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Hmm, with that in mind, maybe a complete out-the-box solution with all the games collected, pacthed and optimized for me would be worth $150 :unsure:
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah it's all choice and that's a good thing :)
