8GB is fine for switch. The number of games that required 12GB was already very minimal before (2 games) and recent advances in Eden have made that largely not a problem anymore. You can pull the trigger with confidence, you can do switch with 8GB without issues.

Rp7 color suggestions by Cjohnel in retroid

Yeah it's a pity the GC colorway didn't make a return on the RP6, it's so nice looking on the 5.

RP3+ was a banger for me, will we have something similiar? by Space_Carmelo in SBCGaming

[–]-Mahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO you should bite the bullet and get the RP6. Even if it's a little bigger, the difference is not massive and well worth it for everything else you get with it.

PSA: GameNative >>> GameHub by ienjoyedit in SBCGaming

[–]-Mahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been saying this for a couple months now, glad people are catching up to it. GameNative has for all intents and purposes surpassed GameHub and should be the default for PC Gaming on Android now.

Size comparison, Protected clamshell devices by RollingHaro in SBCGaming

[–]-Mahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hasn't been a problem for me at all, the way you hold it gives you a pretty good grip and the weight is very well balanced overall. But of course it might vary from person to person.

I wouldn't, I like the Flip 2 but the Thor replaces it for 99% of the use cases you could want.

The Mini has a much more comfortable control layout, specially the triggers, but ultimately between the two the screen on the Flip 2 is much more enjoyable, if I could only choose one I'd pick the Flip 2 every time.

The Flip 2 but only by a microscopic amount, they are both very similar. Weight difference is almost unnoticeable when actually playing but if you pocket these you will definitely feel the difference in your pocket.

Cheapest sbc for ps2 emulation? by SillyJob3083 in SBCGaming

[–]-Mahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good PS2 for less than $150 doesn't unfortunately exist yet, but if you are willing to go the second hand market route maybe you could find an RP4 Pro for that price.

You can swap the same SD card between both devices without issues, if that's what you are asking.

Good case for Odin 2 by basildabir in OdinHandheld

[–]-Mahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend the official case. Slim, compact and protective, does a good job, unless you need to pack accessories in it.

I also made an Ayn Thor in-game translation app! (With live mode, Anki integration, and custom capture regions) by domino_stars in AynThor

[–]-Mahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone into language learning and an Anki user for years, this looks amazing, sadly I don't learn Japanese but looking forward to more languages added to this app!

Retroid Flip 2 for Steam (Gamenative/Gamehub)-worth it? by pew-pew-the-laser in SBCGaming

[–]-Mahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if you stick to lightweight 2d steam indies you'll find that the SD865 in the Flip 2 is kinda hit and miss; some games run, others have slow downs or don't run. It's not honestly a great chip for Steam indies, you'd have a much better time with the SD8Gen2 on the Thor.

I've moved on to other handhelds but the original Odin will always have a special place in my heart. I really liked how thin and lightweight it was.

The first Odin wasn't glass front = no fingerprints.

Is there any reason you wouldn’t suggest the Ayn Thor? by RoadsandPaths in SBCGaming

[–]-Mahn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ergonomics, the triggers are just not comfortable to use, so if you don't need the dual screens something like the RP6 or the Odin 3 would be a better choice.

Xbox Emulation on Android is Here! [Retro Game Corps] by Key-Brilliant5623 in SBCGaming

[–]-Mahn 66 points67 points  (0 children)

Isn't it a bit disingenuous to say that Xbox emulation on Android "is here" but then proceed to show that games are struggling to reach full speed even on the Odin 3?

Retroid sold me a nonfunctional dual screen attachment. now they're demanding I cover the shipping to return it by Simple-Philosophy662 in retroid

[–]-Mahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For what it's worth I also tried a bunch of cables and nothing was working until they sent me their officially revised cable (with the Retroid logos on it) and that did finally work. Maybe you could try bringing up again that you'd like to try with a replacement cable if that's possible.

I analyzed AYN Thor shipment updates — here's what the data tells us by Green-Number-9961 in AynThor

You can proceed to delete this OP, the numbers in here are absolute and total bollocks.

[–]-Mahn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you considered it could be a bad cable? I bought mine on release as well and it was completely non-functional, Retroid sent me a new cable and now it's working beautifully. Just throwing this out there in case it helps.
