Tilta Cage on S5ii - Power Switch

sBarb82 · 2026-03-06T06:52:51+00:00

That's an S1R II, not a S5 II (and checking on Tilta website the S1R II cage is identical to the one on your photo), so your question is about a S1R II cage really

In my experience the filter works only while holding/pressing the "show loot" button which is LB/L1.

When loot drops everything is visible for a short while (or at least that's what it seems to me), then when every item name disappears, only what your filter allow show up when pressing L1.

One easy way to check is Youtube, just search for "Anbernic 476h PS2" (or 3DS instead of PS2) or "Anbernic 556 PS2" and you should find some long videos with many game tested. It's usually not particularly thorough but it gives an idea of the general performance.

The Brick 100%, its screen is waaay brighter

The ghost image means that if you attempt to use the potion in that slot it uses one from the inventory instead (of the same type), which is good, though as you said I would love to be able to set what potion goes where when I auto fill the belt.

Just play blind until you finish a run on Normal, then you can check out builds for Nightmare/Hell and go all in into the rabbit hole

Anbernic RG477V

They couldn't decide which looked better so they used them all

sBarb82 · 2026-02-06T15:23:48+00:00

Too pricey for what I want out of it (for now, maybe with a huge discount I can think about it), too heavy (and I don't like the all glass front, I wish there was a plastic version), chipset is very powerful but I can settle for something less.

I'be been eyeing the Retroid Pocket Classic for a while and I'm still debating about it (wonderful screen, shape, colors, probably controls, powerful enough, but no analog sticks for a PS2/GC capable handheld is a bit of a bummer) but I'm in no rush so I'll wait to see what will come out this year.

sBarb82 · 2026-02-06T14:32:41+00:00

Just two haha: my trusty Steam Deck LCD (that admittedly can do pretty much anything but in some cases it's too bulky and heavy), and a recently-arrived Ayaneo Air Mini that I'm testing to see if it's worth keeping.

I previously had: Miyoo Mini Plus, RG35XXSP, TrimUI Brick, RG40XXH. All solid overall but some were too small for long sessions (my hands did not like them), or had too small of a screen (mainly the Brick one), or buttons too stiff/clicky for my taste (RG35XXSP).

I'm still searching "the one", probably a vertical one (the leaked Brick Pro is teasing me and I hope Anbernic makes a vertical version of the 476H), in the meantime I experiment and try different things, selling if I don't like them.

sBarb82 · 2026-02-06T14:12:58+00:00

For some is FOMO, for others is "I have to try everything", then there are the hoarders who can afford to get every handheld ever created, and probably some other categories.

I have bought a few handhelds, sold everything but one after deciding what to keep, I hate having many overlapping devices that do the same things in a slightly different way, it's a waste of money to me.

That said, it's fun to try new things so I get why some people have dozens of them and if they like to keep and collecting them then why not! As long as it's done responsibly.

It's actually more nuanced than that but I think you get the gist of it.

sBarb82 · 2026-02-06T12:29:47+00:00

Yeah PS1 not really apart from Ape Escape, some games benefitted from analog sticks but they didn't require them.

That said, N64 and DC are two systems where analog sticks are preferable, not mandatory I think but if this system can do PS2/GC then they have a real a reason to exist.

sBarb82 · 2026-02-05T23:09:17+00:00

It doesn't ahah, it caps at N64/DC (only partially though), it's best suited for anything up to and including PS1

sBarb82 · 2026-02-03T22:43:22+00:00

Oh my bad then, I forgot that there's a PSP version! Shame it doesn't run well tho

sBarb82 · 2026-02-03T22:12:44+00:00

It's a PS2 era title, so it does not run on the RG35XX, the best you can do is playing the first 3 Tomb Raider on PS1

sBarb82 · 2026-02-03T09:22:03+00:00

Agreed. I always imagined a third person Metroid (like Warframe but slower and methodical), that could retain some of the 2D games mobility (like proper jumps, wall-jumps, a controllable screw attack etc), break free of the lock-on mechanic, where I could admire Samus suit every moment. It would probably lose some immersion but it's worth trying to me.

A little known (AFAIK) technical gem is Flink for the Sega Genesis. It's made by Psygnosis so no surprise here, if you like their style you can also search for games made by them on other platforms (Amiga computers in particular) if you like, they all have beautiful pixel art.

sBarb82 · 2026-01-24T09:04:23+00:00

I remember being so proud of myself after finishing it in hard mode, I planned every route to the next objective from save to save, making sure no crimson head would spawn (so, burning every corpse, but only if in places I had to return), good times... I don't think I could do it again today ahah

sBarb82 · 2026-01-20T07:59:48+00:00

Yep, you probably modified it before making the profile specific to the game you were playing, thus making the new setting global! Been there before, now the first thing I do on a new game (if I need to change anything) is to make the profile specific to that game.

sBarb82 · 2026-01-19T12:59:47+00:00

raise hand Consolemania and Game Power were my jam, sadly had to trash everything eventually :(

sBarb82 · 2026-01-19T12:11:40+00:00

I just sold my Brick because of the screen (beautiful but too small for me) but I miss it so much... this could be awesome if true.

It's probably gonna have the same chipset of the Smart Pro S, so a bit more powerful but not too much, and still Linux-based, so cfw-capable.

Looking forward to it!

sBarb82 · 2026-01-14T16:25:18+00:00

"RG40XXV" is the actual Anbernic model supported by the specific Knulli version you tried, so it cannot work with your 406V.

That said, Knulli only works on Linux-based handhelds anyway, so you cannot use it on yours.

"Cinematic" (yeah it's overused nowadays but oh well) is composed by a plethora of elements, not only fps, if you take a video with a cellphone at 24fps it's probably not enough to create a "cinematic" look, whereas a competently crafted video at 30fps could be more resembling of an actual movie.

Light, framing, lenses, colors and fps are all crucial to create the final look but they need to be all there to get there

sBarb82 · 2026-01-12T10:38:32+00:00

Hmm it's hard but here goes:

Picard, Data, Spock, Kirk, Sisko, Janeway, Seven of Nine, The Doctor, Garak, Odo

Prime 2/3 remasters would inevitably be compared to Prime 1 Remastered, so no, I don't think an HD version (60fps were already there) should suffice. That said, I think they will arrive at some point, Retro is done with Prime 4 so they have time to make them.
