You'll be able to comfortably play 3DS, DS, NES, GB, and GBA on it (though for GBA you'll be using VC injection). If you're spending $70 on a retro emulation handheld you'd be better off with an RG35XX off amazon. Here's a good listing, even comes with a case:

https://www.amazon.com/RG35XX-Handheld-GarlicOS-Portable-Transparent/dp/B0CB1673MV

It'll play pretty much every 2D console flawlessley, and most PS1 games too. Just remember that the stock SD cards are always shit, so you should get your own card and flash a new OS on it (garlicOS is recommended)';

This theme is excellent, but I heard Pegasus is an absolute pain in the ass to setup.
Are there any alternative frontends that look roughly like this while being easier to manage?
I'm specifically talking about having my screen fully dedicated to a single rom (with its own wallpaper and maybe logo or cover) rather than appearing in a list or gallery.
The only one that comes close is ES-DE but I don't like most of the themes and it's arguably even more annoying to setup.

If there's no way, can I manually manage Pegasus from my device?
I don't have a million roms so I'd be ok with manually adding them to the frontend, select the emulator for each one of them, add pictures from my gallery and so on.
But I'd rather avoid using dedicated sites/software to compile dozens of metadata files on my PC, then install other third party software to scrape shit from a site that requires an account and hope everything works out in the end.';

'10 days ago I purchased an Odin 2.
They immediately sent me an email that says
>"We're getting your order ready to be shipped. We will notify you when it has been sent."

Mostly the size really.
I wanted a handheld retro-emulation machine to play at home, like on the couch or bed, but I'm used to big smartphone screens at this point. So a Retroid (which has the iPhone 6 display if I'm not mistaken) is a bit too small for my tastes.
On the other hand, the Steam Deck is fucking huge and heavy which kinda defeats the purpose, and 800p seems ridiculous for a 7 inch screen. I was still tempted to get the OLED model at some point but at the end of the day it's a laptop with buttons and I'm 100% sure I'd spend more time installing, modding and tweaking shit rather than playing (because that's what I already do on my desktop). My PC is pretty good so the Deck would be very underpowered in comparison, but its specs are still so good it would almost feel wasted on 20 years old games alone.

The Odin 2 sits right in that sweet spot because of its decently sized screen; it's a little bigger than a Switch Lite and a little smaller than a regular Switch, and it weights roughly as much. I can grab it and put it down everywhere at any given moment, while the Deck wouldn't be as handy.
Plus the hardware is so good it lets you play everything up to 6th gen (often with 2x/4x upscale on a 1080p display) without the constant need of tinkering with the settings, but the Android OS is limiting it to emulation which basically makes my tweaking/modding instincts a non-issue.
In the end it almost flawlessly runs everything you can possibly emulate on android, and newer emulators aren't even on the horizon, so it feels like a future proof retro handheld if that makes sense.
The battery also lasts for like 20+ hours which is honestly impressive.';

>>10860620
I have one of these, I won it from one of those claw game apps where you remotely control a claw machine in Japan and they ship you the prize if you actually win it. Fun times. This is a clone of the RetroMax. They have basically the same game libraries. The claw game app was fun to be honest but too addictive. You can save videos of your plays and people in the app can wait in a queue watching you live to snipe prizes that the whales spend hundreds of dollars on edging to the win before giving up and an expert coming in and getting it with a free daily play.

'>>10860963
I will say that the RetroMax's shoulder buttons, which are basically just Turbo 2 for A and B, make it comfier to grip. At least they didn't do the thing where they have an actual GameBoy cartridge slot but it only works with the proprietary cartridge that has all the ROMs on it like some older famiclone GameBoy handhelds did.
A shame because it's my one flaw with the RetroMini; The L and R buttons suck more than the Miyoo Mini's. And the RetroMini is both a famiclone with hundreds of preinstalled 8-bit games AND a GBA emulator with some preloaded GB, GBC, and GBA titles allowing you to add your own. Love the RetroMini.';

'>>10861158
>At least they didn't do the thing where they have an actual GameBoy cartridge slot but it only works with the proprietary cartridge that has all the ROMs on it like some older famiclone GameBoy handhelds did.
Specific examples being the "GB Station" and the "G100", both of which copy the GBA SP design but then use a proprietary cartridge to actually play the games, otherwise it's useless.
No, you cannot play any GB/GBA cartridge with these things, not even flash carts. The proprietary cartridge and the cartridge slot have unique designs that just look similar to GB/GBA carts.';

Yes, the topic of piracy is typically the biggest concern with the emulation market, both the moral implications (which I personally don't give a fuck about, download/buy pre-loaded cards what you want) and the technical "skill" behind it (majority of people buying these devices literally don't know how to drag and drop files into folders on a desktop, even when you hold their hand and explain it step by step to them). Tons of people feel bad about piracy for many reasons, whether it be moral or self-conscious incompetence. After that, the second biggest issue with emulation handhelds is the shit sdcards they come with that fail 100% of the time, creating both a hidden cost behind the handhelds requiring new sdcards and alienating the tech illiterate who believe their entire device is now broken "and needs replacing".';

Nah, the problem with those micro devices is that they're cramped as hell (not really that the buttons are close to each other, it's manageable, but that there's not enough grip), so I think this one is the best ratio yet, king of the manlets .
Most people might complain about "wasted space" on some devices, but for me I think it adds to grip (like the "chin" some people cry about with RP2S).

That's like comparing a DS with a GBC, if your bar is that low you don't need the RP4. RP2S actually has better button layout and front firing speakers. No ghosting on screen that I can tell, though I don't know how bad it actually gets on 3+/4/4P, just keep hearing people complain about it.';

Anbernic overcharges on their site, you usually have to get them from Aliexpress for like $70 minimum, 2S is $90+shipping on Retroid's. Taxes skew these values however, if they apply.

Twice the performance, better buttons, best sticks and d-pads you can get except maybe RG Arc's if Zhou got the Sega d-pad as they say. Pretty solid chinkheld, had 2S been available at the time I got into this mess of a market I would not own 4 of them now (353V, X28, RGB30, 2S).';

'>>10866243
>That doesn't make any sense. The o3DS is just slimmer

Hard to compare, there's no consistency between screens within a brand and some chinkhelds will switch panels mid production (353V went from like 120hz to a 60hz one within a few months, Miyoo Mini and its infamous new 700x500 or so panel).

I'd rate it 7.5, factory settings leave it piss colored but changing contrast from standard to automatic fixes that, I leave colors on standard. Doesn't get stupidly bright like the RGB30 for playing under sunlight, but goes pretty dim for night time unlike it. 480p isn't amazing, but it works on 3.5'. It's a bog standard chinkheld display, nothing to write home about but well configured, which you take for granted until you buy powkiddy.';

'>>10866886';

'>>10867162
Vita has a few annoyances if you use one.
You can replace some of what it can do at this point with a something like a TrimUI smart pro which has almost identical ergos or another 5-5.5" handheld and it's much more competitive on price.
Proprietary charging port is kinda shitty, battery ID while charging is also poor. Software is 50/50, lots of great homebrew, lots of shit homebrew but third party emu isn't amazing. Memory cards suck, Vita2SD is a diceroll on if you get a good one.
Neither good nor bad tier: buttons are either A+++ or suck dick.
Benefits: It's A tier for PSP and some PSX, obviously native support for Vita games & indies and it has A2DP support. 1st gen screen is still nice despite flaws.

End of the day the Vita's still a twelve and a half year old device.
It has an older CPU & GPU based on an older process. Some chinkhelds may use older chips and lowpower chips but they can hold their own against 2009.

It does have a great library if you're into RPGs, indies & ports etc. Some of those games have been ported out so depending on your habits, might want to consider that.
I still keep mine around and used it to play a bunch of PSP & PSX until recently. Last PSX game I finished on it was Xenogears just last year. I'd be replaying Scarlet Grace on it in the coming weeks if it hadn't also received the enhanced ports recently.
If you see one for a great price in great condition and it has games you want to play then buy one but if you're just looking for some light emu, maybe PSX and light PSP then it's hard to recommend over a device in the 4.7>5.5" range.';

hmm you make a good point though I heard trimui has issues with PSX and PSP which is kinda the only consoles that make sense to have analogue sticks for? it definitely can't handle later than that, neither can vita but I assume it's got better build quality and buttons as well as the vita library as you said, but yeah I'd never buy one above like 120 or else it doesn't make sense, it's really just to have the same capabilities as the PSP but with a much better screen and dual analogue for PSX, does it not have the amount of pre PS1 emulators like a chinkheld?';

>neither can vita but I assume it's got better build quality and buttons
I prefer the buttons on the TSP over Vita, better DPAD and face button IMO but that's subjective for people. Sticks are identical to Vita on the TSP.
I've had no huge issues with PSX so far on TSP and PSP at 1x res is equiv to vita and it also has vulkan now. On a more powerful device you're not gonna have the same limitations. I also play a lot of JRPGs and menu based games so I'm not pushing it with god of war heavy 3D sloppa. B'yeah vita library & indies? Vita's a no brainer.
Also Vita does have some standalones and RA like a chinkheld but RA on vita is kinda ass with the vita video driver. There really is a lot of homebrew though, not all of it's good, bunch of duplicate frontends but it's also a bit unique, couple of nice ports and android titles too.';

For PSP and PS1, it's blurry af in Adrenaline. I always go back to my PSP 1000 with ips screen mod. Only pick VITA if you're interested in VITA games, which you obviously aren't because they are shit.';

so it doesn't just natively play them properly?';

'>>10867279
It kinda does but I don't really know exactly why, it's maybe a resolution problem? It feels just plain wrong, maybe another anon can chime in and explain better than I can the reason behind it';

It does, but gamss dont scale well to the screen because blah blah double the resolution or some shit, I cant remember. I prefer how ps1 games look on it compared to psp.';

Not to defend the midget, but when chinkhelds are fingerprint magnets, they're really fucking bad fingerprint magnets to the point of becoming a deal breaker. Imagine having bought a black RG556 before reviews hit.';

>o the point of becoming a deal breaker';

'>>10867779
Another thing about fingerprint magnets that people don't talk about is that fingerprint magnets double as grease/oil magnets, and they can feel gross/slippery to hold after an hour of play';

'>>10867786
That's a you being a greasy slob problem, not a device problem. What, do you think other devices are just going to magically wick away all that oil you're secreting to nowhere?';

'>>10867785
You heard me. Never seen anything like it on other tech, chinkhelds have the lowest standards for this stuff.';
