Anyone else here right into emulation/roms/CFW and retro handhelds? What've you got + what are you playing? (beehaw.org)

I used to own a BC PS3, a PS5, a Wii U, a switch and a new 2ds xl to give me access to all PlayStation and Nintendo games (running CFW on all devices except the PS5). However, I have slowly shifted to owning just a powerful PC and my 2DS. The only games I don't get a perfect experience with are Wii U games because there is no great way to emulate the Wii U gamepad. And of course I can't play PS4 and PS5 exclusives anymore, but I am just banking on Sony eventually releasing all the interesting titles on PC.

I've been carrying my rg35xx everyday in my work bag. I've been slowly working my way through fire emblem.

I'm also working on making a game in gb studio with my partner! She's pretty excited as well as myself.

I often use my Funkey S when emulating. https://www.funkey-project.com/

How's the battery on this thing? I've been really interested in the idea of tiny handhelds but it just seems like something that might give out in an hour or so.

I have an Anbernic RG351P and I'm currently playing Shin Megami Tensei and Klonoa: Empire of Dreams on it. For my desktop computer, I have RetroArch to play PlayStation 1 games from my childhood. Right now I'm working through Tail Concerto and Tomba!. I'm considering playing Jet Set Radio Future too because I'm so excited for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk lol.

I've been playing on my Anbernic RG351P for a while now. I recently started playing Super Mario World on it for like the 100th time

My powkiddy v90 was a godsend those dead Sunday nights. I played mostly Tetris games, though I finished some RPGs on it. Not that strong, especially with a couple of SNES (Mario kart being one) running more than sluggish. I can't complain, it's a nice device for real cheap

Been using my CFW switch to play FF4, got the pixel remaster and I'm going to be playing Chrono Trigger soon on it

Been using my PS Vita as my portable emulation machine for a while now. Super easy to mod with the added bonus of being able to play Vita games.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (3 children)

I always recommend to anyone who wants a handheld to go for a Vita, even if you don't emulate anything other than PSP and PS1 that gives you access to thousands and thousands of games. Add onto that the fact it's past end of life, it's nearly a moral responsibility to mod it.

That said I also have a modded 3ds. I have modded my ps1, ps2 and ps3. I've modded my OG XBOX and 360.

All aboard the mod train....CHOO CHOOOOOOOO!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Oh for sure! Gotta remember to play the games as well after all that modding lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Lmfao! Too true, Vita is my daily driver, I get probably 15hrs a week of gaming time on it.

I have 2 retro handhelds, the Ambernic RG351V (in the faux-woodgrain, obviously), and a Miyoo Mini+. Most of the time I prefer the Miyoo Mini, because it's smaller and more portable. However, I think the aftermarket OS options for the 351V are more mature.

Currently I've been working my way through Earthbound. I've never played it before and I can see why people like it so much. It has such character!

Those RG351 (and "clones" of it, stolen schematics/resellers?) are pretty sick!

Got my trusty N3DS with CFW. Finished Shin Megami Tensei IV not too long ago, gonna go through it again before I start SMT IV: Apocalypse.

was just listening to that song last night lol

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

So good! The 3DS theme has a chiptune version playing.
