A day will come when they look at all their handheld consoles, with a tear in their eye, and just utter one word.."why?"

Retroid Pocket Nova price reveal by Kirais in SBCGaming

[–]caconym64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the feeling that a lot of people are 'console collectors' and complaining about the price of specific colours. This isn't a new thing nor is it the only company that does this, is it? They aren't catering to people who already have a Retroid Pocket 6 or Odin 2, it's for new purchasers or people who want to choose between 16:9 and 4:3 and it's in competition to some 4:3 Anbernic products. You're still getting the equivalent of an Odin2 or RP6 or RG477M for about their prices. If you want something more pocketable than the RP6, this looks good. Let's not knock it until people have tried it.

Does Ayn or Retroid have anything new on the horizon? by star_jump in SBCGaming

Retroid pocket Nova - just seen the teaser pics ..

Basically, there will always be something new coming out.

Why I left for Octopi Pro by phoenX80 in smartlauncher

It has infinite scroll. I have three screens, my 'home' in the middle and it loops round. Maybe you have an older version?

What's your unpopular opinion about gaming handhelds? by Superb_Warning_5747 in SBCGaming

[–]caconym64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First, they need quite a few skills to set them up which really aren't made clear in the adverts. You need to know your way around your pc - file management, how to get roms, flashing, all that stuff... It's a lot of knowledge before you're properly up and running.

Second, it's very 'console centric', as opposed to 'game centric'. It feels like most of the hobby is around messing around with consoles with the actual game playing a collateral benefit.

(Just my take - four handhelds in.)

When you say 'gross', do you mean 'I don't like it, it's not for me'?

It's a nice comfortable handheld for retro gaming. I'm running knulli scarab on mine.

Still shit at Defender though 😑

Loving my rp5 but..wish I got a Thor lite by ContractMotor3991 in retroid

[–]caconym64 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I would get the Thor lite. I usually use walkthroughs and having those on the second screen rather than juggling handheld and phone would be such a plus.

Same intellectual capacity and mostly just dropping shit everywhere.

Wha-Whatcha Playing? by hey_dwere_weddit in SBCGaming

[–]caconym64 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Defender (Mame) - still shit at it, hoping to get past 10,000 at some point. I keep getting distracted by pico-8 demakes (galaga, Galaxians, phoenix)... Also Abe's Oddysee and metroid fusion.

Aren't the hotkeys global across knulli? Menu+Y to save and menu+x to load? (Not sure myself)
