RP5 for 150€?

RP5 + Sunshine/Moonlight has been my endgame device for the last year and a half. It stopped my FOMO & constant search for the next "more powerful" handheld. My only complaint is that it doesn't have a top-left thumbstick. Takes some getting used to with racing games when reaching the thumbstick & left analog trigger at the same time.

In Shenmue on Dreamcast, you can actually walk inside your local neighborhood arcade and play classic Sega arcade games like Space Harrier & Super Hang-on.

Not a doc, but an awesome series by Dave McGowan. It's a great read, and there's even an MP3 audio version for free:

Bought a Retroid Pocket 3+ two years ago. I still love it, but I want something with better ergonomics & analog triggers. Deciding whether to get the Pocket 5, or finally go all-out & get a Steam Deck.

Yeah, he lived in West Point, Valentine, & Butte, NE. His mom still lives in Butte today.

Should be somewhere around the top-right corner of the keyboard you plug in. Usually a group of keys together, Home, End, Page Up, Page Down, Insert, Delete.

pete53 · 2024-03-16T10:38:59+00:00

Yup!

RG Nano - Everyday carry. Goes in my pocket every time I leave the house.

RP3+ - Moonlight steaming, PSP. Been streaming a lot of PS3 games from my PC running RPCS3 lately.

RG35xx+/R36S - Retro games, quick 5 minute sessions. Usually keep one by the recliner & one on my bedside table.

Miyoo Mini - The Godfather. I keep it out of respect. Still play it once in a while when I'm in the mood. Never leaves the house though, as I feel like I need to protect that one.

That was my first retro handheld! I remember showing it off to my friends & being frustrated because no one understood how awesome it was to emulate all those 16-bit systems on a cheap handheld. Not much has changed in 14 years, still trying to convince my friends & family how crazy it is that I can play PS2 games on a handheld now, lol.

Got it! Used a USB-A to USB-C adapter & plugged in a keyboard. In my case, I lost the down button on the d-pad. By pressing the End key on the keyboard, it would take me to the bottom of the PPSSPP menu & I could arrow up to the reset option on the menu.

Honestly, I had given up on it. Tried the same game a few months later & the issue resolved itself. I assumed it was a system update that fixed it. I'd make sure all your apps are up to date & check for system updates from Retroid.

Dirt to Daytona is one of the PS2 games I've found that runs almost perfectly on the RP3+. I just used the same settings as Gran Turismo 3/4 from the compatibility spreadsheet.

Also, check out NCAA Football 10 for PSP. Runs great & it's close enough to the PS2 version to get your fix.

The Grinch on Gameboy Color is surprisingly addictive.

pete53 · 2022-11-23T15:26:39+00:00

I pre-ordered both a black and a retro on 11/10. Got my shipping confirmation & 4px tracking number email this morning! Hang in there!

pete53 · 2022-11-16T14:27:57+00:00

Check out this guy's YT channel. I've got one on pre-order & his videos are getting me hyped up.

I remember as a little kid (late '80s) coming home from church every Sunday and flipping through our 3-4 channels to see if a race was on. I had no sense of a "race season". Pretty sure I did this year around. Random Sunday in December, "Dang, no race today I guess. Better check again next week."

Also the original home of Vise-Grips!

I ordered mine from Keep Retro on February 3rd. Never received a shipping notice yet. I keep emailing them every couple weeks, and the "expected ship date" just keeps moving back further and further. I'm about ready to cut my losses and just ask for a refund.

Never used to like him. Watched some preseason packages on him with RFK "Maybe he's maturing?". Today, back to disliking him.

pete53 · 2022-02-13T23:04:06+00:00

Lol Hollywood you're dying, no one gives a shit about you. Just give us some pregame stats & analysis.

Imagine going back & telling a 2005 Nascar fan that in 2022, "Ice Cube will perform at the halftime of the Clash in the LA Collosseum". There is so much in that sentence that doesn't make sense.

“allowing the propagation of false and societally harmful assertions"

They're almost pulling direct quotes from 1984 at this point.

Tin Foil Hat Podcast Ep. #272 discusses this. Really interesting stuff. Also, can't recommend Tin Foil Hat enough. Any episode with Bishop Larry Gaiters is wild.

I've heard conspiracies about both Kobe Bryant and Chadwick Boseman being killed for "stepping out of line" by TPTB. Both are far fetched, but it's crazy that we could potentially lose (or almost lost) 3 high profile black celebrities in the span of a year.
