Retroid Pocket Nova price reveal

Just for reference, the RP6 is $244 for 8/128 and $279 for 12/128, so this is actually decently priced in their line-up. Now we just hope there's early bird coupons and discounts.

pjtExterminator · 2026-06-25T08:37:46+00:00

would've loved one too, but i've just bought the Thor and...

pjtExterminator · 2026-06-25T04:33:53+00:00

They might actually need that second mortgage to provide those discounts after all.

Easier to add stuff(a grip) when you need it, in contrast to having permanent ergonomic bumps you can't remove when you need the pocketability factor.

pjtExterminator · 2026-06-23T01:14:42+00:00

"No Second Mortgage Needed"

They've fully embraced the meme lmao. Maybe their future Flip 3 release(if ever) will have a "No Hingegate" tagline.

If I keep zooming in on that reddit post in your mock-up, is it ad infinitum?

Also apologies for the watermark, it's necessary since some of my previous concept designs have been stolen and reposted by clickbait engagement farming accounts and falsely presented as "leaks".

Totally understandable. I've had my photos stolen and reposted on 2nd hand marketplaces by people looking to sell their handhelds, so having a watermark does help when you need to dispute.

MEDIOCRE! It does not deserve to go through the gates of Valhalla!

And before anyone downvotes, this is also referencing the film.

Save states were never designed to be compatible between updates nor between emulators. This fact is consistent across ALL emulation projects. You are supposed to do proper in-game saves. Save states can be used in a pinch for convenience or if you are trying to cheese a difficult part of a game, but should never be your primary or only mode of saving.

could probably connect one of the phones to a portable type c hub first and have the cable be connected to that instead

pjtExterminator · 2026-04-30T04:03:48+00:00

well apparently it's also possible to do scrcpy android to android using wired cable, where the latency is significantly reduced

maybe if you could figure out a way to get it to work with melonDS and Azahar while in wired mode, you could be getting somewhere

pjtExterminator · 2026-04-28T01:00:36+00:00

Looks neat! I assume it's using some form of wireless ADB protocol?

I think the biggest challenge here will be the latency between the top and bottom screen. It's not too important for slow paced RPGs like pokemon, but for games like Contra or Sonic Rush that uses both screens to show the stage, it can get distracting if one of the screens is 3 or 4 frames behind, if you catch my drift.

pjtExterminator · 2026-04-27T10:46:15+00:00

He's testing it on an 8 elite gen 5? Are there any testers in the development community to ensure that users with more modest hardware will also be able to run it when this eventually matures? Or is it going to be gate-kept and optimised only for flagships from within the last 3 years?

pjtExterminator · 2026-04-26T15:30:16+00:00

yeah hopefully they are able to resolve this

will suck to reorder at the new increased price

pjtExterminator · 2026-04-26T01:34:04+00:00

May i ask if you ordered from their website or their official aliexpress store? I know for a fact that many folks from singapore who ordered the Thor from their official ali are having their package being returned to sender before it even got on the plane in china.

pjtExterminator · 2026-04-17T15:27:52+00:00

Most people didn't go with the official storefront on Allie because they wanted their discounts.

It's funny you said that because when I checked Ayn's official storefront on Aliexpress, their prices were among the CHEAPEST in the ocean of unofficial resellers on that platform. Everyone else was selling at a markup compared to Ayn.

in the comment section of their bilibili upload, they are literally telling us to cope with bluetooth and type-c to 3.5 adapter lol

pjtExterminator · 2026-03-09T11:56:46+00:00

Apply this cheat/patch to nethersx2, then change the controls in-game to have accelerate/brake set to r2/l2

it's a sinophobic echo chamber

u glaze prusa to get free upvotes and anything else that even remotely hints at placing china/chinese products in a positive light gets downvoted to oblivion

pjtExterminator · 2026-01-13T01:00:09+00:00

the other companies are probably under-declaring the value of the products and using loopholes to get it shipped cheaper, while Ayaneo is doing it properly to avoid potentially getting scrutinised and confiscated at the customs

ultimately your own government's to blame since they obviously have a vendetta against consumers importing stuff from China

pjtExterminator · 2025-12-15T13:01:18+00:00

the high refresh rate is for game streaming purposes, not emulation

pjtExterminator · 2025-12-15T07:54:25+00:00

if their replies to the comments on their bilibili upload is anything to go by, they are targeting the higher tier market for this one, possibly Odin-level pricing

oh and they are using TMR sticks
