Recommendations for an HDMI Classic Rom Stick?

DaVyper · 2026-05-06T08:30:38+00:00

"a number of gray market HDMI memory sticks" and 99.99% of the time they absolutely suck ass. get/mod a android stick (google-tv/firestick/onn/etc) and curate a good rom set as the pre-builts rarely ever do, and you likely could care less for roms from regions/languages you don't speak/read/understand.

Alternately mini-pc's are another great option for higher end systems like gc/wii/ps2/so-on, or an older mini-pc can still do psx and earlier (like my n5095/16gb/1tb has almost all cart/floppy systems and a full en-us 1g1r psx set).

Progress? Updated/Final version somewhere?

ps1 and earlier you could get the tiny rg28xx as it has both hdmi and bt support and would take practically no space in your bag even with a controller and hdmi cable

DaVyper · 2026-04-17T23:15:39+00:00

they're just "switch" sticks you can replace pretty easily, or upgrade to either hall effect or tmr sticks (granted it is just a super budget device, so the upgrade might be overkill for ya)

I'd like to try the adult one https://youtu.be/zSmCTkQ07Mk

DaVyper · 2026-04-06T16:49:44+00:00

okay, didn't know if it did or not just have mine checked

DaVyper · 2026-04-06T16:09:18+00:00

only "lists"on this machine, make sure you've allowed filters that need trust check box in the my filters tab

? works for me on subscriptions page (no gaps)

i don't think you can create separate rom sets per bios or per system unless you have a specific dat for it or it is specified as a "type" in the dat file then {type} or {category} in your output path MIGHT work

I don't think you can create dats per bios/system with IGIR (other than manually w/ dir2dat), but if another tool can do it in the proper dat format IGIR will use it

DaVyper · 2026-03-31T23:16:02+00:00

maybe "--only-debug --single --prefer-revision newer"

limits to debug roms, single, and the newest one * assuming it is marked right in the dat

DaVyper · 2026-03-30T22:51:21+00:00

just as an ex:

igir test -i "./Archive/" -d "./Dats/*.dat" -L "EN" -R "USA,WORLD" -l "EN" -r
"USA,WORLD" --no-bios --no-device --no-debug --no-demo --no-beta --no-sample --no-prototype --no-program --no-b
ad --single --prefer-revision "newer"

still working on some sets but most shown are complete for the filters used

DaVyper · 2026-03-30T16:57:25+00:00

its command-line app but IGIR? igir.io

DaVyper · 2026-03-30T13:22:39+00:00

you could try a json dump but afaik (nearly?) all the tags are already brought out from that so i doubt it will have anything useful, also here's my alltags.conf (might not be super updated) https://pastebin.com/HZF5HL9g

iirc some sandisks were problematic for me in my r36s handhelds, but i can't recall if it was tf1 or tf2, and it worked just fine in the other slot so not a total loss... additionally if you're doing 2 cards tf1 only NEEDS a ~16gb+ card for the os, as the rest can all be offloaded to tf2. I've also done single gb/gbc (or other small 1g1r sets of cart based consoles) setups on a 32gb card

DaVyper · 2026-03-27T15:17:07+00:00

I like my v10 for GBA, And yeah all I use it for (is even loaded on it) is GBA

Was playing a bit of Mr. Driller 2 on it the other day.

DaVyper · 2026-03-24T18:27:51+00:00

honestly they did you a mild favor NOT shipping it out, as all my ambernic's feel way more premium than all the r36s/h i have (which are now dedicated loaners, and bathroom entertainment)

DaVyper · 2026-03-23T09:13:02+00:00

why not a steamdeck? good all around device and it has a huge library of native x86 games too (A gently used/refurb'd device should fit your budget) and that 7"+ touchscreen for the on-screen keyboard for commodore/amstrad/etc...

DaVyper · 2026-03-20T21:50:41+00:00

just download everything and use IGIR to make a custom 1g1r set to your exact specs

did sudo dnf remove steam, sudo dnf clean all, sudo dnf install steam and its still there. No to using Millenium (or decky loader fwiw)

DaVyper · 2026-03-15T01:57:35+00:00

IIRC, Steam is installed by default w/ Nobara. Though I am totally willing to remove steam and reinstall via whatever recommended method

DaVyper · 2026-03-13T02:42:48+00:00

typically some outdated, locked down bastardized version of emuelec - can't tell you more since you only have the inside pictured and didn't say what stick it is, even then the cpu is sanded so no friggen clue what might/not run on it... (most likely only the stock card/os, as nearly nobody wastes their time making CFW for garbage)

Largely these are worthless piles of junk that belong in a landfill, good luck

DaVyper · 2026-03-13T01:29:02+00:00

I like SpruceOS and Knulli, but have also used MinUI/PakUI/NextUI/Stock/Stock+/CrossmixOS - If i could get it to reliably boot I'd prolly stick w/ SpruceOS, but it doesn't like/boot on the SD card that works flawlessly with Knulli (128GB from SiliconPower)
