Welcome to the largest gaming community on Lemmy! Discussion for all kinds of games. Video games, tabletop games, card games etc.

Rules

1. Submissions have to be related to games

Video games, tabletop, or otherwise. Posts not related to games will be deleted.

This community is focused on games, of all kinds. Any news item or discussion should be related to gaming in some way.

2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good. If repeatedly violated, not only will the comment be deleted but a ban will be handed out as well. We judge each case individually.

3. No excessive self-promotion

Try to keep it to 10% self-promotion / 90% other stuff in your post history.

This is to prevent people from posting for the sole purpose of promoting their own website or social media account.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

5. Mark Spoilers and NSFW

Make sure to mark your stuff or it may be removed.

No one wants to be spoiled. Therefore, always mark spoilers. Similarly mark NSFW, in case anyone is browsing in a public space or at work.

6. No linking to piracy

Don't share it here, there are other places to find it. Discussion of piracy is fine.

We don't want us moderators or the admins of lemmy.world to get in trouble for linking to piracy. Therefore, any link to piracy will be removed. Discussion of it is of course allowed.

Curious! Might pick one up, see what I can make for it :D

EDIT: On review, I already have a PS Vita that does all of these fairly effortlessly and in a smaller frame with more games.

Really looking forward to the day we can do PS2/GameCube in a PS Vita form factor

I plan on trying out the PS2 emulator on my phone since I have a Backbone. Maybe when I get my next phone upgrade, my old phone will be a dedicated emulator.

The retroid pocket 5 is kinda that. The Ayn Odin 2 Mini even more so.

As is often the case with such affordable retro handhelds, there’s no internal storage, but two card slots are available. One of these microSD cards should contain the operating system, while the other can be used to store games.

We have come the full circle. https://exotech.bm/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/imb-pc-5150.jpg

Based on the system hardware it’s not worth it IMO. Too many limitations with that 1GB of RAM. People with less money who just want to play games and rom hacks would still have a blast though.

That's plenty for retro emulation, probably even overkill for the systems you can emulate on that RK3326 chip. I've been rocking a Miyoo Mini Plus which I picked up for about the same price two years ago, and that has 128MB RAM.

You get what you pay for, these obviously aren't meant to be high-end cutting-edge devices, but for the price they're a pretty good deal for all the classics you can play.

Oh I'm sure tarrifs will bring the price up to $400 and your left testicle.

Considering no ships having been going stateside from China, will Americans receive it at all?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 3 weeks ago

I don't live in the US. The price in local currency was close enough to $50.
