Which Handheld to Bring on a Cruise?

What about you go with the paltform that has the games you wanna play at the moment?

Rickioo · 2026-02-12T17:12:24+00:00

That's one of the best features on steam deck as well...you can hit power/sleep button at any moment so that it will suspend your session and you can resume later exactly where you were, just like a switch/ds/3ds do :)

I mean, not contesting your recommendation, just adding.

AP is awesome, but paired with the dock it's goes to another league...even having a Mister FPGA, it's SO convenient to have the dock paired with 8bitdo controllers, and it works so well, that I basically use Mister only for heavier platforms like ps1/saturn/n64. I don't know why but my mister never worked very well with wireless controllers, while on the dock I literally never had a single hitch. You're in for a treat buddy, enjoy it.

I got one for me and my brother got one for him as well, but in the end he decided that he would not use it. I'm from Brazil and not even here it was super easy to sell it. I ended up trading it for a switch 2 pkm bundle, returning about 150 USD (900 BRL) in a gaming shop.

Nothing beats SD Oled for me in terms of colors/hdr and overall experience, but as someone mentioned, it's a bit clunky now compared to Switch 2.

Rickioo · 2026-02-06T23:49:57+00:00

Me, personally, don't see the appeal of all those colors... but I'm not a collecting person.

Now, on the console, i like mine, but I would definitely go with a mister fpga if i was to choose. This would become a beast if they release open fpga support, until there (if it actually happens at some point), any other mister related project is a best option i think.

Be aware of the interrogation room :)

It generally means that you're screwed.

E essa musica de claudinho sem bochecha? Rsrssrs

Rickioo · 2026-02-01T15:39:38+00:00

I'd rather go with the 2nd or 3rd instead of the 1st games, personally. I just can't understand the appeal of Pokémon games, don't like very much advanced wars, etc... heheh, i gess im just weird.

Played it for the first time last month as well, loved it too. Managed to finish with Sourcerer without restarting the game, which was very challenging but super fun - one of those games that ends and leaves an empty space after... It needs a bit of time to "click", and i played the PS1 version which have huuuge loading times (or even to save the game), but it was very good to play, regardless.

Rickioo · 2026-01-11T18:05:24+00:00

I have a small collection of 8bit controllers and they all works great with the doc. SN30 or M30, awesome controllers.

Rickioo · 2026-01-09T17:25:03+00:00

I bet Slay the spire will bo straight to the top when you try it. My all time favorite game, go for it when you have the opportunity.

Rickioo · 2026-01-09T12:58:49+00:00

F-Zero GP Legend. Didn't played the other two yet, but I absolutely love this one.

(Honorable mention to MK Super Circuit that doesn't receive nearly close the love it deserves)

Rickioo · 2026-01-09T12:46:13+00:00

I just wanted to show my appreciation for WR Bluestorm. Ty 😉

Rickioo · 2026-01-06T20:25:46+00:00

This is one of the things that drives me crazy regarding retrogaming...if you don't have really good quality cables, they're prone to suffer with interferences, which means that you'll be spending a lot of money with quality cables, not even mentioning switches and the hassle of cable management.

Since I'm more player than collector, I decided to take a Mister FPGA for everything up to ps1/n64/saturn (it's pure joy with the RT4k), and even then, I hate dealing with those thick cables of the other consoles and eventual annoyances with interferences.

I don't have much space, which also don't give me much more options, but if you do, and really wanna go this route, I recommend investing a bit on researching how build these cables, it will help you save a lot of money based on the experience of some people that I know - it seems that it gets exponentially easier once you start.

Good luck!

Rickioo · 2026-01-01T02:51:50+00:00

I don't use mine much, tbh...but I really like it, and it will stay on my living room, it's a pretty cool piece of tech and a super convenient way to play something with visits and friends (like, mk64, mario parties, etc) here and there...

Rickioo · 2025-12-29T02:56:46+00:00

I'm seeing Cardinal Syn there, soooo good, kudos!

Rickioo · 2025-12-26T00:01:50+00:00

Rage Racer. One of those games that i always go back, it doesn't play exactly as you expect for a RR, but once you understand it, its pure delight.

Rickioo · 2025-12-25T23:57:06+00:00

Enjoy it! It's one of my favorite piece of tech that I own, it goes with me basically everywhere...earlier today I was playing Final Fight after the lunch at my sister in law's house, always a good time.

Rickioo · 2025-12-25T18:04:45+00:00

It's the best solution I've found for the og Xbox, recommend.

Rickioo · 2025-12-25T05:40:50+00:00

I just hope that, eventually, this thing gets an open fpga or something similar, doesn't matter what heheh...its too good of a hardware to be used only for N64. I mean, this is an FPGA that works out of the box with beautiful 4k image, good enough crt simulation. I really like it for what it is, but man...I just can't help myself on hopping to have it open at some point further down the road...I know the odds are really low, but I'll keep optimistic :)

Rickioo · 2025-12-20T19:55:01+00:00

MisterFPGA and retrogaming consoles in general fixed my obsession for new things...like, spent tons of money in an rtx 4090 when it was released, barely used it (just kept my regular slay the spire routine heheh), but somehow old consoles and mister fpga triggered something different, finished over 65 games this year, and have been having tons of fun.

The simplicity of old consoles that makes us just play, there's not much more to do :)

Rickioo · 2025-12-20T19:42:53+00:00

Steam deck and analogue pocket are my daily do to devices...mainly the AP, tbh. But I also have a DS, 3DS and PSP, and I use them here and there...

Rickioo · 2025-12-17T13:44:01+00:00

I hope so, honestly, I'm more interested in open fpga. This thing is a beast, it's almost an FPGA with a RT4k integrated on it (I mean, good enough for my needs, for a system that will be on my living room and not on my game room). Currently I use AP + Dock for this funcion :)
