My friend is planning on getting a flash cart, so I'll probably be the one to buy it for him - either I'll get him something like the DSTT or I'll get that for myself and sell him the R4, unless theres a better option.

Any ideas? I don't think I need 4gb+ cards, but it'd be nice to have. Its just way too many games, but at the same time...I need a GBA cart too. EWin or 3-in-1?

I mean, i'm not looking to profit (maybe a little) for this, so its more of whether the R4 is really worth keeping with all of the newer cards out (Its one of the first R4's that came with the two cases and a spring

Sell your R4 to him and take the DSTT.

I'm gonna get a DSTT because my R4 is breaking down. The spring is broken, sometimes the DS cannot detect it sometimes, it just gives me that touch the screen to continue thing at the bottom when you boot it up, unless you flashed your DS. And sometimes when it boots it says 'SD/TF card Error which means a corrupted card when in fact it's fine. Personally, I need to upgrade, cuz my R4 is pissin' me off. Otherwise, it's a nice and easy cart to use until it gets worn out and starts to deteriorate. But that's just me.

If your R4 is fine, then you can also just buy him an R4 too.

    Been trying, semi unsuccessfully, to figure out a TV "streaming dongle" sort of thing that has enough beans to handle Steam Remote Play. The "Chromecast with Google TV 4k" devices that I have introduce so much video latency it's crazy. And I've had no luck finding a good setup with an rPi yet
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Used to think the video latency issue was because it was on wifi, but nope, same shit even after moving them to ethernet

    @Sicklyboy have you tried the xiaomi ones? I have a 4 year old one that managed to work just fine (tested once for fun).
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @Skelletonike, nope, not yet. only tried a LineageOS Android TV build and raspbian (with Plasma Big Screen which I can't get to work) on a pi4. Was thinking about running over to walmart today and seeing if they had their "Onn" brand Android streaming box in stock. Heard good things about those
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or a 4k firestick, I have several n they work great (mostly stream kodi from NAS drive) n they cheap. $25-50
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I've had such crappy experiences with fire sticks that I don't want anything to do with them

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    The old ones were crappy/ slow ui/ weak WiFi but new gen better, at least for me.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    But I have seen people liking those ONN stream boxes, and they come w no bloatware which is nice. (firesticks has tons of bloat)
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I also use PiHole on my network which blocks most that crap, I definitely noticed all my smart stuff seems to work better after setting up PiHole

  • Skelletonike @ Skelletonike:
    Only experience Ive had was with the xiaomi one and with the one supplied by my internet supplier.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @BigOnYa, And you must be careful not to find Android TV boxes come preloaded with botnets.

    Hey, maybe he likes to be part of a community! What's wrong with being part of a friendly botnet once in a while
