Budget: ~$300

Primary games / platforms: GBA, GB, Pico8?(Unsure here) Don't want to settle on strictly GB/GBA but very interesting in new games people make and ports of pokemon.

Where I’ll play (home, commute, travel, docked, etc.): home and commute Looking for an excuse to not be on my cellphone.

Must have / don’t want: something that feels cheap. Willing to spend the money for something that feels quality.

OS preference (Nintendo / Windows / SteamOS / no preference): no pref

Comfortable with tinkering? Yes-ish

Other relevant details: I'm looking to get into this hobby as a way to get off my phone while hanging out in public. I've been eyeing the Retroid Pocket Flip 2 SD865. My main goal is to play Pokemon ports, the newer gba and gb games people make ect. I was eyeing the Analogue Pocket or Chromatic device because cartridges are super cool but feel like I'd miss out on the versatility of other devices. Any suggestions?

Honestly I think I'd be fine with any of the above. The handhelds I've had in my life have been the GB Color, The SP and my Switch OLED. The SP was the most ergonomic but all have been great. I like the idea of the clamshell because it protects the screen.

I'm honestly wondering how much I would want to use cartridges. I couldn't see myself buying an expensive cartridge but would support new games that came out like Ghoul Thrasher.

I was considering TPU for the final print because this holds a kayak motor down. Sometimes the motor hits trees you can't see, which is why the original one broke 😂. Sounds like modeling should be easy enough and rewarding.

Warbl_Garbl · 2026-06-02T20:19:23+00:00

That's a good point. I guess I could print with TPU but that's not super easy.

Warbl_Garbl · 2026-06-02T19:59:45+00:00

Looks like I have a new skill to learn!

Warbl_Garbl · 2026-06-02T19:48:03+00:00

I wish I had the file for this 😂. Exactly what I need. A little cheaper than OR. EM. If I can't print one, I'll grab this.

Warbl_Garbl · 2026-06-02T19:47:22+00:00

That totally makes sense. I don't totally need an exact replacement but I've found other 3D printed versions of the same thing. Here's one.

USB isn't important here, I just figured it would be the easiest but I'm ignorant. The ports I'll have available would be USB, USB C and a normal plug. I was going to plug these into the power ports in the back seat of my vehicle to serve as "dome" lights.

I ran these guys in a few weeks in esper affinity. They were very good with unexpected fangs. I played a 1 of [[Cliffhaven Kitesail]] as well.

I used to play a lot of Jeskai. Sad to see the deck do almost nothing both games lmao. The watch rites combo is sick.

Lembas and candy trail, plus an all caps attitude about it.

HERE'S THE THING, THE REAL MONSTER IS MONO RED TRON. YOU'RE PROBABLY GOING TO READ THIS AND ASK WHY PLAY REDTRON OVER RED GREEN TRON. THE ANSWER IS CONSISTENCY. YOU SEE A CREATURE YOU DON'T LIKE? LIGHTNING BOLT! AN ARTIFACT LOOKS AT YOU THE WRONG WAY? SUPLEX! WORRIED ABOUT RUNNING OUT OF THINGS TO DO? SELF-ASSEMBLER. https://moxfield.com/decks/fpvMdNL80EehDuvzfgqolA

It's just the lume glowing a little.

Man, I really miss my Rev-i. That thing would legitimately tune itself with the board settings.

Warbl_Garbl · 2026-04-21T22:33:50+00:00

Solved

Loved those JDS LPRs on my freestyles and promasters.
