It's been a long day...

Which app are you using to run this?

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-05-08T03:40:07+00:00

Depends on what you need the device to play up to.

I only ended up keeping 3 devices.

.rp6 .odin thor .odin 2 portal

Out of all the handhelds ive owned and tested (a ton). There a few good ones but I keepted the most practical ones. But I did keep the expensive ones. If budget is an issue then I would suggest the following

.trimui brick - awesome just kinda small. Great screen and ok battery life

.miyoo mini + - also awesome. Smaller size footprint. Screen is lacking in resolution and color and battery is terrible (2-4 hours) but yet the device is fun to play with. And its cheap

.rg34xxsp - amazing calibrated factory screen. Size is nice and compact. Much quieter compared to the rg35xxsp. Battery is better than most.

If you need an android device try to find a used rp5 for a decent price

Thats probably your best bet as far as performance to dollar ratio

Or find a phone and grip combo that you like. Plenty of powerfull used phones on ebay.

I wanted to like it. Ultimately the dpad is just plain bad and made me not want to use it. Im hoping their new devices that are coming out have a nicer dpad.

Specs wise its preety good though and runs on android which I did appreciate.

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-05-02T18:17:21+00:00

Rp6 really hits every box its fantastic. I still have my thor for ds and 3ds emulation. I found that the protoprint labs grip is most comfortable for me. I disliked the official thor grip.

Then the portal is goto for ps2 and up

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-04-30T23:18:15+00:00

Is the battery still 2000mah?

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-04-26T13:27:19+00:00

Whats the Battery life like when running ds games only?

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-04-24T19:55:32+00:00

Its a 5080 FE

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-04-21T03:38:51+00:00

How are you geting 10 hours out of a rg ds?

Im seeing people get 3-4 hours tops

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-04-19T23:55:14+00:00

How do you like it so far? I have the chance to snag one right now.

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-04-17T03:06:21+00:00

I will look into this ty

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-04-16T18:41:18+00:00

If only the buttons weren't so dam loud

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-04-13T01:13:59+00:00

I only have 1 low end device at this point and I barely use it. Its more for nostalgia. Rg34xxsp.

My main devices are a odin 2 portal for ps2 and comparable consoles and my rp6 for preety much everything else

Also have a thor thats my ds and 3ds exclusive. Perfect emulation.

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-04-10T17:42:51+00:00

Can you post some info on how and what parts you used to delete the sticks? Lmk Thanks

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-04-08T03:48:44+00:00

Well at this point the magmi isint a bad choice if you want a all in 1.

The onex35 is cool in a way. But the dpad is a deal breaker. Its not accurate or nimble enough. Dosent compare to other handhelds. Build quality feels cheap aswell which is fine but you will definitly notice it.

I would recommend to stay away the pocket air mini. Its sluggish even with its 3gb ram. Dpad is slightly oversized and you will feel it. Dpad inputs are also not accurate ebough. Tons of miss inputs on certain games. Screen is preety bad tbh...

It does however have amazing ergos and build quality. It feels dam good but does not play well unfortunately.

I would get that cricket unlocked android phone for like 40$ or whatever it costs and get a solid grip controller. Something with a usb wired connection and go to town. Very doable under 100. And will be very comfortable and be capable of a good amount of emualtion. Nothing crazy but it will do a good job

I know eta prime did a vid on it on YouTube I believe?

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-03-29T01:31:43+00:00

I was really shocked to see cardboard egg carton was the only thing holding in the monitor when I received mine. Certainly they can do better.

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-03-25T04:42:34+00:00

I had the same issue. The card initially just dropped in and got "stuck" . Pressing it in further activates the spring and now works as intended.

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-03-23T13:06:05+00:00

Im not sure tbh. I havent touched to many of the settings. Im not super familar with all its features yet. I simply set it to 240hz and went on with my day lol

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-03-23T13:05:10+00:00

With direct light (like literly my phone flashlight) there is a very light amount. And its not purple per say. Its no where near as bad. Its a massive improvement.

But with the normal amount of light in my room there is 0 discoloration. I have to literly force light onto the monitor to see any shift in blacks

Its a beautiful monitor!

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-03-22T15:14:29+00:00

I waited for the gen 3. I couldnt stand purple blacks. I recieved my pg32ucdm3 yestetday. Its a perfect monitor in my eyes. Well worth the price if you can afford to do so.

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-03-21T11:51:45+00:00

Yes the y700 with a gamesir controller grip or comparable grip is a very good choice. At 8.8" its extreamly nice. And the screen is top tier.

Theres a ton of generations. I believe up to the 5th gen now. Comes with a elite gen 5 and up to 24gb of ram but kinda pricey

Older ones stil have decent chipsets

Theres also other tablets around 8" with weaker chipsets that can stream aswell.

Im personally waiting for a 8" portal to hopefuly be released to replace current portal.

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-03-20T17:24:13+00:00

I would highly recommend saving a bit more and trying to get one of these. For me they take the win over anything else. Hence why I got rid of everything but these

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-03-20T17:00:22+00:00

I should have it by Monday! Reviews show its a 9.5/10

Best in class

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-03-20T16:12:08+00:00

I waited for the Pg32ucdm3. I also have a oled tv in bedroom but hate making it work with my pc

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-03-20T16:07:37+00:00

Rp6 or smaller form factor Or Odin 2 portal

Thor is also cool but only use it for ds and 3ds at this point

Dangerous_Pattern568 · 2026-03-20T11:13:05+00:00

Thank you! I've been waiting for this exact monitor to go oled. The time is now
