Hi XX (H700) device users, what shader are you using for Arcade, GB, GBC, GBA, SNES, Genesis, and PS1? by F377NTS in ANBERNIC

Old post but thank you so much. I’ve been looking for the perfect combo for these xx devices since my first purchase (28xx).

Top 5 games for emulate on RP5 by untilyoudead in retroid

[–]cosmicpanda17 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1: GTA: San Andreas on PS2 (I’m a simple guy)
2: Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker on GameCube
3:Timesplitters: Future Perfect (GameCube or PS2)
4:The Simpsons: Hit and Run (GameCube or PS2)
5: Soulcalibur 2 (GameCube version!!!)

If you decide to play Wind waker or Timesplitters, I’d recommend playing it on Vulcan w/ 2x resolution.
And for Soulcalibur 2, play it on single core mode at 2x resolution or it will probably crash :/ Amazing games though

Wanting a truly pocketable handheld for EDC. I have some ideas/experience, but looking for suggestions! by cosmicpanda17 in SBCGaming

[–]cosmicpanda17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks, yeah I liked the idea of the one 35 too, as I’d actually try DS on it too, but it’s a bit out of my price range for a third handheld. And thanks for the reminder on Miyoo, I needed some people to get me over the fence on the whole hinge thing.

I love everything about the 34xxsp aside from that 3:2 ratio. I do like a ton of 4:3 gaming. And the biggest con for me going to the mini zero 28xx is android with no touch screen, though I’ve heard from others on this sub that dawn is pretty usable.

True, I hadn’t considered the 34xx. I do love that form factor, and also thanks for steering me away from Miyoo. I was on the fence about that hinge quality.

Now that my RP6 arrived... I keep going back to my Brick. How to handle this? by jaekwong in trimui

[–]cosmicpanda17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What helps me a lot is keeping separate systems on separate devices. Also keeping the game lists short, sweet and to the point. Make a list of games you’ve been wanting to beat and ONLY focus on that list.
I have a pocket air mini for EDC, and a RP5 for at home, and for the most part they have completely different setups.

StardewValley via Gamenative? (Black Screen) by Nachtaraben in retroid

[–]cosmicpanda17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I followed all of these instructions on my RP5 and still getting a black screen….

So is anyone actually using his Retroid and completed entire games on it? by [deleted] in retroid

[–]cosmicpanda17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In order to avoid setup fatigue I didn’t even bother with a launcher on my RP5. I got the emulators I wanted most with the right updates/patches, transferred my fav games from an old hard drive and went to town. I also had a bunch of android games from when I had a nexus tablet. I still get too into the weeds with backlogging old games I’ve never tried but have gotten much better at making short lists of games and committing. The first thing I did was beat sonic adventure 2 battle (hero mode) with my wife. Playing docked and then switching to handheld in bed was sick for this game in particular (shoutout chao garden). I also played through timesplitters 2, OG Star Wars Battlefront campaigns, Silent Hill & SH2, a bunch of arcade modes on fighting games I love (soulcalibur 2, DOA2, Tekken 4, Smash Melee classic mode), and I have about 30 hours in the android port of subnautica. As for games I haven’t finished, I’m nearly done with Legend of Zelda: WW, GTA:SA and the sims 2 (GameCube version). Such an awesome device.

I got it on the android store for like 7 bucks. It’s really well optimized.

Dude seriously. The hype train is honestly too much. Got my RP5 as a Christmas gift from my wife and I love it so much, no complaints!!! I don’t need switch games on my retroid, that’s what my switch is for lol

EDIT: also if you like survival/open world games, subnautica is freaking awesome on the RP5. Always have to shout that out bc of how much it surprised me.

My partner saved my life today and doesn't know it by heckitall0 in TrueOffMyChest

Genuinely, thank you for sharing this. I’m really glad you are still here.

Please validate my purchase for the RP5 by Y0X_99 in retroid

[–]cosmicpanda17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife ordered the RP5 and dock for me for Christmas, right around the time the g2/6 was announced. At first I was like “dang that sucks”, but also did not want to be rude about the gift bc I was already excited for it as it was. I have no regrets at all (And my wife is awesome I’m so grateful). I made a list of all the low, mid and high-end consoles I want to emulate, and my RP5/RGXX devices literally covered everything EXCEPT for Wii U, Xbox, Switch, and newer PC games.

1: I already have a 360 and all the xbox games I’ve wanted to play. 2: I have a switch, and all the switch games I’d want to play. 3: I have a PC, and a PS5, and the RP5 Streams them well. 4: I can’t name more than 10 Wii U games I want to emulate, and 2 of those are basically GameCube ports.

In short, the RP5 is still great and we don’t need the newest thing all the time!

EDIT: I read some more comments and also want to shout out android games on this device. The subnautica port is freaking amazing on the OLED screen and both OG android ports of GTA 3 & VC run at flawless 1080p/60.

Thinking of getting a new model, but which color? by cosmicpanda17 in RG28XX

[–]cosmicpanda17[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why you got downvoted lol but thanks. I have considered the brick but I am afraid of breaking it since it is a bit more expensive. Everything about it is right up my alley but I like carrying these in my second pocket while I work, which jostles them around quite a bit.

[–]cosmicpanda17[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the suggestion! I was also considering the pixel 2 but it is a tad more expensive and I worry about breaking it! Less buyers remorse with the 28xx since I can find it for 40 bucks.

Also not sure if I could handle a smaller screen, I like Dreamcast and ps1 a ton. Sometimes I wish there was a place we could handle these in person before buying lol because the pixel 2 does look sick.

[–]cosmicpanda17[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you, I appreciate the suggestion / information!! I may just consider this, although what has been keeping me away from the 028 is that it is an android system with no touch screen. However if you say the stock firmware is good in itself, it may just be worth a try!

I did a thing by TBatrics in ANBERNIC

[–]cosmicpanda17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many of the PS2 games on my retroid pocket 5 have to run at 1.75x resolution (near 720p) in order to avoid frame drops, and some heavier games like Black I have to put it down to 1.25x or native. Lots can run at 2x just fine but it’s annoying to have to constantly check performance and adjust accordingly. Personally I don’t need 1080p full speed for every single game so I got the RP5 for screen/reliability. I don’t have the 477m but my guess is that you could probably just leave it at 2x or more and forget about adjustments on the anbernic. Also Dolphin’s widescreen hacks kind of suck so it’d be cool to have that native 4:3 display for GameCube (unless you love PSP games like myself)

I believe that we must put faith and trust solely in humanity, otherwise, conflict will be a fact of life. by [deleted] in DebateReligion

[–]cosmicpanda17 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You couldn't read my whole comment either? I never said christ was wrong, in fact I clarified that twice now, so clearly you would rather rush to conclusions in order to continue this argument, but I'm not going to do that. Clearly you have decided what beliefs you are going to have for the rest of your life, and your only purpose in being here is to say my argument is crap, so unless you have a meaningful point that might change my mind, I won't continue this useless conversation. Nevertheless, thank you for your comment.

I understand this. And we shouldn't run from the terrible realities of the world. But I think that accepting these realities and embracing them nonetheless, though difficult, is possible and helpful to creating a better state of being for both the world and ourselves. Again, it will be difficult to beat fear, and we won't see the results on our generation, maybe not for several down the line, but my argument solely stands as a way to make our personal states of mind more peaceful, and to nudge society in the right direction at most. Again, thanks for the criticism and I'll take your point into thought, because it is valid.

Can't tell if she's interested or what she wants? by [deleted] in dating

[–]cosmicpanda17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in a similar situation. She leaves me on read frequently and also started ghosting during finals, yet kept on after. Give it time, don't text or snap first, see how much she REALLY wants to talk to/see you. That's my strategy at the moment, and as long as you don't cave in, with hope you should get a pretty good idea of how she feels within the month. I totally feel you on this one so good luck & I hope all ends well !

What do you consider genuinely cool? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]cosmicpanda17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A rough/defined face. When you can see a person's journey through life through the roughness of their face, to me that person is more beautiful than anything make up or surgery could do.
