I know this is probably a long shot but is there such a device? From my understanding, most of these companies like Retroid and AYN you’ll probably have to send them back to China for servicing but it’s a bit of a pain to do that

Hello fellow people of the sub!

Yesterday I've received my long-awaited RED Trimui Brick! Being a shopping addict delicate connoisseur of various portable devices, I have ordered it 20 days ago and it finally arrived!

I've ordered it without SD card for two reasons: 1) I wanted to try "One SD Card To Rule Them All" approach since I already had Miyoo A30 with Spruce 4.5.4 installed. 2) Supplied SD cards are usually of poor quality and there is a price increase. Also, I had a spare SD card as well.

I've ordered the red one for an obvious reason - it has the best looks of them all! I am very tempted to decorate it with yellow stars/hammer and a sickle stickers but first I need to find these stickers, lol.

Trimui Brick is a jewel. The screen is crispy clear, the controls... I liked buttons, but d-pad feels like Retroid d-pad, I prefer how Anbernic and Miyoo feel. But it is only a preference, nothing more. D-pad is precise and feels really nice, I don't feel distracted or "repulsed" by how it feels.

As for Spruce, it was my CFW of choice for Miyoo a30, since... well... It was and still is the best CFW for that little piece of...joy. Wi-fi, scraping, retroachievements, themes, idk what else, I am not using all of its functions.

I have checked and the other option for Trimui Brick would be Knulli - I've tried it on my Powkiddy V90S and while it looks and feels decent, I didn't like it. There was no Retroarch entry in the Tools menu. Simple as this! I wanted to change some options and it turned out that those options were available through Knulli interface, not through Retroarch entry in Tools section - where I expected it to be as Rocknix afficionado. Rocknix is my first choice CFW btw, Spruce OS is second.

So, regarding the use of single SD card in multiple devices - it worked! Only thing that didnt work properly were my gameboy savestates - idk, because of different cores or something else, they were not loading at all, but actual in-game saves were there! It is simply amazing!

It really is great and I am going to retest this experience with Anbernic RG Cube XX which is expected to arrive end of this month - beginning of the next one.

After testing, I decided I am going to permit my spare SD card a permanent residence in Trimui Brick and installed Spruce OS there too - using their installer.

Now both of my "mini", sub-3.5", over 1.54", consoles - A30 and Brick are all spruced up, except for a decent case for the Trimui Brick, and I've just noticed while creating this post that I have not removed protective film from the Brick's screen! So it is going to be even crisper!

I'll conclude my excessively long speech by recommending both Trimui Brick and Spruce OS to everyone!

making a very particular set up so no don't recommend me controllers, I need joycons, switch 1 only

just anyone buy any of these cheaper brands available on amazon that are actually affordable and have evidently connected to android fine? got a s25 ultra

Hey so im trying to emulate the switch version of nz:p but i dont know how to setup eden to use homebrew at all so im asking how i would do this?

Haven't used my Steam Deck in a while. Been using Odin2Mini, Odin3, Miniloong Pocket, and a PS Vita for a while. I have only been turning on the Steam Deck, update it and just shut down and put away. Decided to put handhelds away and use it. Evil West is what I have been playing. Looks great and plays really good. After a good run I switched to other games, just to use the Steam Controller for a bit. Haven't used it in a while either. I also tried my xbox lab created Xbox controller just to feel the difference and all that. Controllers are great.

This is a Steam Deck OLED, Steam Controller, and an Xbox Controller.

Inside the yakuza 0 game, you can pop into a sega arcade store and play a a mini game like Outrun. Not sure if they are using a tiny emulator within yakuza 😂. Both games run smooth on the Thor using game native.

AI ASSISTED (couldn't find the flair?)

Well with update v0.2.0 the compatible games list has expanded from 3ish to over 10. A bunch of people have helped troubleshoot, provided experimentation and helped me fix my bugs, so thanks to everyone who has helped me. Some guys also helped me get this compatible with a few more devices and operating systems, unfortunately that means I have to worry about more systems so updates are going to get slower. Id also like to lay out my goals now that this has gone further than I expected at first.

Its also worth noting as I've said from the start that this is an AI assisted project, it's not doing all of the work but it's not insignificant, and the people who have been helping me have also been using AI I think. It does my debugging and helps manage the GitHub page and helps set up simulations.

1. Id like to get game compatibility to near universal (30fps stability with most games)

2. I want to make a GUI sometime within the next few weeks, as some people aren't comfortable with the current workflow

3. Device compatibility (anbernics, rocknix devices, ect)

For number 3 specifically I've opened up a ko fi, to hopefully get more devices for me to test on personally, and hopefully to help justify to the wife the amount of time I'm spending on this, so far for about 2.5 weeks I've spent pretty much every second of free time on this.

With that said I'm going to keep this open source and I encourage people to try to contribute, if you want a feature and have the knowhow, please do, or if you don't have the knowhow, feel free to do feature requests and open issues on the GitHub https://github.com/whovian64/pocket-native

I love tinkering with frontends and reorganizing my library. I’m looking to breathe new life into my RG476H. I’m running GammaOS and I’ve tried ES-DE, Daijisho, RetroHrai, and am currently using Beacon. One thing I value is the ability to make custom collections (which Beacon ironically doesn’t support). What front end should I try next?

Update: There is a typo in title. Project is called "CubeEvil4".

GitHub: https://github.com/Andiweli/CubeEvil4-Android/releases

Andiweli (dev behind "Unreal 1998" and "Unreal Tournament 1999" Android port) just released the very first version of CubeEvil4 (a recomp of "Resident Evil 4" on GameCube). It should have lower requirement than Dolphin emulator. It even supports 32-bit Android.

Out of curiosity, I tested this port on a 32-bit Android TV with Amlogic S905X5M and Mali-G310 V2 (weakest Android device I have) that can't even install Dolphin emulator. While it doesn't run at playable framerate, I am still surprised it runs at all.

GreenOvercast - GeForce NOW and Xbox Cloud Gaming on Linux ARM handhelds

Been working on GreenOvercast for some time now, a native streaming client for Xbox Cloud Gaming and GeForce NOW on Linux. Hardware decoding on H700 and some supported Rockchip SOC's. Software decoding as a fallback works, but it's slow

v0.3.1 adds framerate and bitrate settings for GeForce NOW, plus a fix for saved decoder data not loading on older kernels.

• GitHub — source code and supported devices
• Download v0.3.1
• Patreon to support my work

Copy the ZIP to PortMaster’s autoinstall folder, then open PortMaster to install it.

Thanks to alexander-clawthorne for the stream quality settings and the older-kernel fix!

AI Usage: AI has been used to assist development. Been writing most of the code myself lately (like the good old days) but contributions by others are also AI assisted

So I have a rg300, retroid pocket 2+, rgds, rg35xxsp, and soon a retroid flip 2. Ive been putting together a sd card for the flip 2 when it gets here. I decided to use the very old 2+ as my single game at a time console. I just started today since I've been annoyed that I don't complete games anymore. It's been going quite well, I've been playing lufia ruins of Lore nonstop since getting it to where it's just the one game. Im going to keep it strictly to one game until it's finished and then delete it. Any single games I put on it to complete will be ones I've never played or at least never beaten.

Does anyone else do this kind of thing? Seems to help with game overload

I've been looking for hours and still got nothing, I cannot save the game and exit the game. I'm doing FN + R1 and SELECT + START(x2), nothing happens

I lost my beloved trimui brick after 38 days. Limbo bug, runaway thermals during recovery and now it's just dead. Went from so happy to have a proper EDC and then devastated when I found out they're basically designed to break.

So now I need something else, but unlike the brick I really don't know of other similarly sized EDC handhelds that have the ergonomics and feel. I suspect I need something bigger.

So then - cargo shorts? I live in a climate where I probably need to wear pants soon. Was curious how do folks cope?

I suspect options are:

- cargo shorts/pants (is there a specific brand/style?)

- fanny pack

- man purse?

- backpack

What are y'all doing to hoist your EDC around?

The New ASUS ROG XBOX ALLY X20 is here with a new screen!
Community feedback has consistently centered on the desire for an OLED display. I walk through whether the current screen tech hits the mark for or if users should wait

Currently want to buy a Silver or Gray Trimui Brick Hammer with glass screen protectors. I checked the Trimui Store which came down to total 90$ with screen protectors and I checked aliexpress which came down to 100€ with screen protectors which is probably around 110-115$. So I’m thinking of going the Trimui store route although I’m not sure if the price is fine here or there are better places to buy one.

Work can be pretty boring at times, so I'm looking for a cheap little handheld that either comes with some games or I can emulate/install games on, primarily Galaga and Tetris. Any help would be appreciated please

I don't even live anywhere near Orlando, so I'm not sure why this is showing up for me, but if any of you guys do.....might be worth checking out. Or maybe it's a scam. Who knows 😅

Retroid Pocket Nova, Pokemon Platinum.

Managed to finally finish Platinum. I'm not entirely sure, but I think it's the first time I saw it through entirely. Ate Cinthya as an appetiser before lunch.

This has gotta be one of the best E4 in all the generations. What's your favourite elite 4? What's your favourite gen in general?

Next stop? Finally playing through Black/White. Yeah, I have a huge DS gap in my pokemon resume.

Hoping someone can help me, I have searched but as the Linear theme is built in I've not found an answer to what I want to do.

As you can see I have my RP Classic setup as just a GB/GBC which has been loads of fun!

I really like the blue of the Linear theme matching (almost) the blue on the handheld.

Anyway, what would make it perfect is if I could make the system and folder images in the view above bigger, double in size would be sweet!

I've not found a way to do this, anyone know how?

Hello all, I am having a lot of issues flashing an sd card with the stock firmware onto the anbernic website.

To those who have done this with previous h700 or RGDS plus devices on Mac, how did you do it?

1. What flashing software did you use?
2. Does the size of the sd card have to match exactly to the firmware? (16gB ONLY, no 32, 64 etc)

I am using an Amazon Basics sd card and sucussfully flashed gammaos and bananaos onto it, so I don’t think the sd card is the issue. Whenever I load stock firmware, it seems to work, but I am stuck on the boot screen.

SOLVED! When you use Raspberry Pi imager, make sure to “skip verification”. I skipped the verification and it worked instantly!

I've always had a soft spot for ridiculously tiny handhelds. I absolutely love my FunKey S, but one thing I've always wished existed is a similarly tiny handheld for DS games.

Couldn't really find anything like that, so I figured I'd try making one myself.

Got my first custom PCB today, and after fixing one mistake with a bodge wire, it actually works! White 2 is running, touchscreen works too :)

Also 3D printed a rough shell just to get a feel for the size. Still a lot to figure out, but honestly I'm just really happy to see it working.

Anyone else wish there were more tiny DS handhelds? Or am I the only one obsessed with making these things smaller and smaller? lol

Hi all, wondering if there is any such thing as a thread or list of native android ports that have 4:3 patches for the likes of the Pocket Nova? Like the Wind Waker HD one. Thanks in advance 🙂

I’ve just found out about this game. It looks loads of fun, so thought I’d grab it and spend some time with it as my game to play through October (or what’s left of it 😜)

What’s your go to game for this time of year?! I’m running Slot. On my RG34XX SP so any GB/C/A game recommendations would be greatly appreciated. 👍🏻
