This will also be the first time anyone has bothered to use the introductions sub-forum since uh...

October of last year.

Hey Y0shi.

What are your thoughts on the recent craze for retro portable consoles?
With the 3DS gone portable console junkies are getting their fix elsewhere.




This one runs has a community of users that develop the software it runs on, RetroFW.
Gifted one this Christmas. Hardware wise the only problem was that the volume wheel was extremely sensitive. Went from 0 to 100 barely moving it. Software wise I couldn't apply the filters provided by most emulators like HQ4x or Simple so fullscreening games would result in the slight blur. Leaving them at their native resolution resulted in a sharp image.




This one runs on android. Read lots of people reporting battery issues and input delay.
N64 and up the emulators start lagging.




This one doesn't use emulators. Instead it runs the games directly from the cart in super high res. Price is ridiculous.

Do you even need subforums at all on a site with a userbase of, like 7 people?

don't really have any thoughts. there have always been cheap handheld alternatives that were never very successful or just a cheap chinese knock off.

i just find it hilarious that everyone mocked me for saying the Switch would be a success and then the system has gone on to sell 80 million + units.
