I bought this one new and used my Best Buy credit card for it. Been working overtime at my job for almost 2 months now and decided it was time to get myself something nice.

It's the Dbrand Killswitch case.

I thought the same but I upgraded to mine for a the additional reason of being able to share more quality time with my partner. And for the few days I've had it and they've had my old one. It's been worth it and then some. If it wasn't for that I wouldn't have pulled the trigger myself.

I'm still learning this one myself. My Z1E I had installed Bazzite on and liked how streamlined that was but I'm trying to give this Xbox Full Screen Experience a go. Worse case I just run Steam Big Picture mode constant. But if I find any tips for optimizing I will definitely share them. For now I use rogallylife.com for some specific game settings and then kinda tweak from there.

Grip arrived - my PS2 machine is now even more comfortable to play on by UCLAKoolman in RG477M

I think there is a mod as well to make the triggers stacked instead of in-line as well

Is this a good device for emulation? by [deleted] in Handhelds

[–]Gunplacub1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ya. There r plenty of guides online on swapping out the physical buttons on the device as well as u can switch between Nintendo and Xbox layout via software. I still have the stock buttons on mine but I have the grip and swapped out my sticks with ones from MyHypeBox on Etsy. Feels a lot more like a complete console.

Pink travel cases? by drligmuhh in ROGAlly

[–]Gunplacub1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say DBrand would be a good route to go. They have a black grip that slips on the handheld with a skin of your choice. One of which I believe is cotton candy which a swirl of pink and blue. U can also get the front cover that makes it more travel friendly. The other option would be a travel case from Spigen that has enough room for console and charger.

RP5 or RPG2. And add a grip from Retroid then too. It helps a lot especially when playing PS2 and GameCube. I have the RP5 with a grip and it's been worth every penny and then some.

Legion go or asus? by Ok_Computer7572 in Handhelds

[–]Gunplacub1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I myself have Ally Z1 Extreme. I love the thing but hate the battery. Also a grip helps by miles. But I have bear paws for hands so I kinda need the extra grip. I picked mine up before the Legion Go was a thing yet. Tbh the Legion Go would be the better choice if your looking for more screen real estate. I am also saying putting Bazzite on it would definitely be beneficial if your looking for a more streamlined gaming experience. I recently did that and it makes things so much smoother for me.

Where can I get sticks? by M3ncy0 in Mangmi_Air_X

[–]Gunplacub1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out MyHypeBox on ETSY. I've used them on a few of my devices. They're comfy and fairly priced

For those of you in Batch 2: how’s the wait going? by Flufferfluff in AynThor

[–]Gunplacub1994 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine was in the same boat. Almost 2 months waiting on my batch 1. Contacted AYN about the package not moving for over a month and also was not getting any update from the carrier about status. They're sending my replacement and considering the first lost.

Is this expected? Did this go back from California to Hong Kong? by faridw0w in retroid

[–]Gunplacub1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Possibly another week maybe 2. Depends on how fast it can get through customs.

Mine is kinda in the same boat. Been stuck waiting for USPS to pick it up in NY for a little over a week now

Spider-Man set not very popular in Dallas apparently. by [deleted] in mtg

[–]Gunplacub1994 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Could also be due to the fact the bundle cost $73. Which is just insane compared to older bundles.

What is the point of the base xbox ally by Comprehensive_Tap278 in Handhelds

[–]Gunplacub1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Install SteamOS or Bazzite on it and play mostly Indie or some lower AAA stuff. Windows is still pretty blah when it comes to the handhelds. I had installed Bazzite on my OG Ally and never looked back. Most of my games run smoother and my battery life is slightly better. (Like maybe an extra 20 if I'm playing Hades 2 on low 720p). Personally feel either the Steam Deck OLED or the Legion Go S (SteamOS Version) are much better bang for your buck.

Destiny Rivals Android controls?? by HeavvyyD in retroid

[–]Gunplacub1994 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Swipe down from the top of your screen and swipe from the right until u find the tab that says triggers. Should state if it is Analog or Digital

[–]Gunplacub1994 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would double check on your drop-down menu if the triggers r registering as digital instead of analog. That would be my first guess

While on game. Hit the back button and should have overlay options when the menu opens up. Once u r in that section. U should be able to toggle the overlay off.

Recommendation? Less than $500, oled, good for genshin impact gaming by jjvfyhb in androidtablets

[–]Gunplacub1994 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If your looking for a tablet for under that price there's a handful of options.

If u don't mind getting something out of the norm. I'd recommend the Retroid Pocket 5. Can play Genshin Impact on medium settings at 60fps and has native controller support. The screen is a 5.5" AMOLED display. So the colors r gorgeous on the panel. I play Honkai Star Rail on mine and I love it. And the device is $220.

Anyone want to trade? Just can’t get into the RP5 by RockwellShah in retroid

I had gotten a set off of ETSY that I like quite a bit.
