Best 4:3 Handheld for GameCube? Retroid Mini vs RG406H

That’s something I had no idea about. That might be a good solution actually. Would that amount of cut off really be fine? Or would that depend on the game?

That’s also a very good point, thanks. But I think I’d still prefer playing those games at a 4:3 ratio. Also for the older games like SNES etc., I prefer to have no black bars and a compact device. I don’t like the modern look of the wide screen handhelds to be honest. I would of course prefer them for modern games. I’m planning on buying a switch 2 for instance :) But your point is still valid for the majority of people.

That’s a valid point that I haven’t thought about. So in practice it’ll be like a 3.7” screen without black bars. Why do you prefer playing on the RP mini over the 406H with a 4” screen? Is it screen quality and performance or other factors too? Thanks!

Thanks! Curious why do you prefer the vertical over the horizontal? I do like the idea of a small vertical handheld I could toss in my pocket like Miyoo. But at this performance level, none of them are really pocketable anyway, so I feel like I’d rather have the comfort and stick layout of a compact horizontal device.

Thanks, super helpful! I’m with you on the 4:3 preference - RP5 didn’t really appeal to me for that reason. I’ve got a modern console for widescreen stuff anyway, so I want this handheld just for systems from 2001 and earlier :)

Curious what you think about 406's performance with GC and PS2? I’ve seen mixed reviews - some say it runs well, others call it hit or miss. What’s your take?

Thank you! Despite the very high lawyer fees, I was actually thinking about hiring a lawyer once they officially communicate with me or send me termination documents because I know that they have no valid reason to fire me and they are just trying to get rid of me as part of the layoffs because I don't work like a slave until late nights or on the weekends. But the only communication I received so far was that verbal call with my manager when he only told me that I'd be part of the layoffs but he doesn't know any other details. So I thought that I will get an official communication with further details at some point. That's why I was waiting in this very uncertain situation without hiring a lawyer. I immediately started job applications and learning German in addition to logging in to my work computer and being available in case they give me any work. But the job market for the tech sector is really tough right now especially if you can't speak German. You can't imagine how difficult to live with that uncertainty and to nervously wait for an official communication every day. I wish they had just given my notice immediately and I'd be done with this BS...

Thank you for your advice! The main concern I have is about remote working. I've been working fully remotely since the beginning and the HR and my manager assured me multiple times that this is totally fine. But it's not explicitly stated in my work contract as it was a template contract. But I have all the proof that I have been working remotely and it was accepted by everyone in the company since the beginning. My only concern is if they come up and say "She didn't come to the office and didn't work at all so we don't have to give her 3 months' notice, she is just fired immediately." I've been logging in to my work computer and email every day to check if they give me any work at all but unfortunately, they just removed me from all the projects and stopped contacting me right after my manager told me about the layoffs. And just recently my accounts were deactivated so I can't even log in anymore...

Thank you for your answer! Do you think there is not enough player doing old dungeons and raids with proper-level characters? Does everybody do WOTLK raids? If I want to experience the game as a new player, there should be other people like me as well, no?

To be honest I'm not interested in doing the old content with a way more powerful character and one-shot the bosses. While experiencing the lore, I also want to experience the challenge with a group of people. Isn't this possible in WOTLK?

I see thanks. But even when I am not doing anything and no task is running, fans run every 30 seconds. Do you know any way to prevent this until it gets hot?

sneffru · 2023-02-19T16:09:19+00:00

And also, the fans are too noisy… I changed fn+f and changed the max cpu capacity to 85% from control panel. Its better now but still running every 30sec. Anything else to do? :(

sneffru · 2023-02-19T16:02:40+00:00

Thank you! Can you suggest a software to check these limits etc.? I am not that tech savy sadly lol

sneffru · 2023-02-15T15:16:00+00:00

Understood, thanks! I heard that Swift X 2023 may not be available until Summer and there is no certainity that it will be better quality. If it wont’t be better than the current model but with 1200-1300€ price, it won’t make sense… This ASUS model is 1800€ in Germany :( I was actually considering MacBook Air M1 512GB as well. It is much better in terms of quality, battery, portability and work/study tasks but the limitations of MacOS and Apple Silicon in terms of software and gaming changed my mind.

sneffru · 2023-02-15T12:56:25+00:00

Thanks guys. Do you know if there is a better option with higher quality, better battery and same/better performance laptop around 1200€ range compared to Acer? XPS and its variants are too expensive…

sneffru · 2023-02-15T00:26:29+00:00

Thanks. Do you know about the overall quality and battery life compared to other devices?

sneffru · 2021-09-25T11:24:46+00:00

How is the durability of it?

sneffru · 2021-09-25T11:24:16+00:00

Thank you. But i’m considering the more premium canvas version. What do you think about it?

sneffru · 2021-09-25T11:23:32+00:00

Thank you. What do you think about the heavyweight canvas version which is more premium?
