I'm sure someone on etsy could make this for you. ;)That silver model is missing something
Maybe I'll buy a RG35xxSP for my brother in law and set it up. He loved his GBA SP. Setting it up will be enough of an experience for me, really don't need another device lol.
Couple new 4inch 1:1 720p handhelds coming over the next month or two. Unfortunately both have dpad on the bottom /facepalm
ZPG A1 Unicorn (Dimensity G99,Linux Android, ~$150)
Anbernic RG Cube (Unisoc T820, Android, ~$150).
Both have touchscreens and make decent DS devices.

My concern for these other than the hinge is the presumably glass screen. I don't know how well that could hold up over time. The snap close for these seems like a decent amount of force based on an earlier video.
That also means no native PICO-8 on these two which is a great perk of the RGB30. The more powerful SOCs are nice I guess, but everything else seems a downgrade for me at least.
It's a bit too thicc for my tastes. If I didn't have the H I probably would have gotten it though. Gimme that clamshell.
Anbernic's RG Arc came in both linux and android flavors. May happen for the Cube too /shrug
I want one of these. The only thing I'm not keen on is that the face button layout isn't great for GB/C/A games, it doesn't have the right button slant - the diamond shape doesn't work for those. I'd have to switch to using the Y button as B and the B button as A.
The sad thing is, early concepts had that layout but they didn't stick with it. It did look weird, but it would have been preferable to me.
All the time. I solve it by making a wifi network from my phone and connect to that.
Gameboy micro you say? Definitely gonna keep my eye on this:

If you look closely at the promo image you will be able to see the side profile of a analog stick.
It indeed seems like a weird choice, maybe they are trying to create an even more uncomfortable handheld that the original? 😅
Actually looks nice! Don't have to mention the position of the dpad to anybody in this thread...The Cube finally has a full image:
Oh my god, here we go again. When is having many of these too many?The Cube finally has a full image:
Position aside, it is interesting they went with the genesis/md style. Wonder how it feels.
See, I tried that, but it still didn't work. Then I got frustrated and just set the thing down and haven't touched it for a week. I guess the issue is Batocera can't connect to wifi that's using WPA3. But it looks like there's an option to turn off WPA3 on iOS 16, so I'll give that a shot tonight. Fingers crossed that it works, because Batocera is really the only CFW I'm interested in using, and I definitely don't want to use stock. Garlic 2.0 can't come soon enough.
You might already know this, but Batocera for the H has been renamed to Knulli (because the official Batocera devs aren't involved and were sick of getting support requests). So if you want the latest updates, switch to Knulli when it releases. No idea how long that'll take because I think it's just a single person working on it.

Oh nice. I feel like the buttons needed a heavier slant though, maybe it would've looked less weird. The diamond shape being standard now is fine but it isn't great for some older games.The sad thing is, early concepts had that layout but they didn't stick with it. It did look weird, but it would have been preferable to me.

This whole thing was a fun exercise to go through, seeing what people thought "looked weird" and given the layout on the original SP.
Yeah... there's a Discord link at the bottom of the page but it's expired. No idea what's happening with that project.

They say the first public version will be released in a few days. So that's good! TwntyOneTwlv maybe that'll fix your wifi woes. Or if not, that's the place you should report it to get it fixed.

Hmmm…the slant looks more similar than I thought. I guess it just looked a bit weird with 4 buttons instead of 2 and we've moved to the diamond shape across the board.This whole thing was a fun exercise to go through, seeing what people thought "looked weird" and given the layout on the original SP.
AYN is teasing a new device. Maybe a Odin 2 lite?
Well, that teaser already shows me enough about the control layout to turn me off.
the edges are definitely rounder than the Odin 2, whatever it is it's not going to be the same shapeAYN is teasing a new device. Maybe a Odin 2 lite?
Has anybody managed to get PS1 Policenauts running on the Miyoo Mini +? I've been trying for hours but just can't get this game to run, every other PSX game I've tried works perfectly. The closest I've come is getting the Konami logo + intro fav to play, but pressing any button results in an endless black screen.
Is there a reason these companies release so many of these so often? Are they cheap to make compared to "official" handhelds like the Switch and Steam Deck?
Pretty sure the AYN device is a 3:2 screen instead of 16:9, so like a middle ground between typical widescreen and 4:3. Basically, black bars for everything except GBA. With that being the case, the joystick position is a non-starter for me, as I'd want the DPad front-and-center.
That Ayanea GB Micro clone is gonna cost $200+ because Ayaneo lol.

Part of it has to be that they don't have a way to make money on software - they aren't platform holders. So once the initial wave of new device sales falls off they have introduce a new product to keep money coming in.
I was having this issue until I turned off Disable SMC Checks, located in the core settings/speed hacks.
I have to think they look at component inventory and see what is widely available/over stocked and possibly going for cheap.
To me that is why things seem to swing around so wildly when it comes to price and performance, they don't do the design on paper first, they shop around and find parts then figure out how to stick them together.

I put it on my Miyoo to test and the opening cinematic is playing right now.
