Retro Handhelds General Thread

[MegaDrive1987]

Yeah Handhelds are my favorite gaming consoles I had a few Nintendo devices(GB, GBC, Nds, 2ds, 3ds, New 2ds and Switch)

I had an original GameBoy back in the day then I ran for years, never owned an Advance, I remember one of my schoolmates bringing his in just after Christmas with Tekken Advance and I was jealous because I was stuck with my green screened DMG haha

I didn't have the Advance either, I have no idea why I didn't get this device because it was also a good part.

I play my powkiddy x55 the most leightweight bit of kit and hasnt let me down since a guy sent me the best gaming card for it. dreamcast on a handheld is next level. i know theres high end handhelds but this 1 suits me as it dosent screw me up with my nerve damaged hands.

Ordered this as a birthday present for myself, hoping it turns up on Friday as it's at my local parcel hub. Gonna be installing Knulli on it after I've tinkered with the Stock OS first to see how it is etc

I hope it's come and worked out for you!

I ordered a device in the same line (that is same specs, just different build) - RG 40XX-H. And so far I really like my device. Just one glaring problem - after I loaded Knulli on it I could no longer connect to the internet. I don't know if it's an issue across the whole line or if it's more specific to 40XX devices. And for some people they don't have the issue at all. Some people fixed it with simple solutions, but as for me, nothing worked (short of messing with my internet to make it less secure, which I'm not doing obviously).

I have one of them its nice and lightweight its at the bottom of 1 of my electronic boxes but its safe in a padded case.

I've installed Knulli on this and it's been connecting to my Wi-Fi just fine. I was stuck between Knulli and MuOS to be honest but I'm gonna stick with it for a bit and see how it is, I heard MuOS has better battery life which will be a huge bonus.

My Ayn Thor got here today. It's pretty neat. I will say dpad centric games that use the L/R buttons a lot are not comfortable to play at all.

But I will stick around with the device a while and then if I find that aspect a deal breaker I'll sell the thing to someone else. I do still have the Odin 2 Mini after all.

So this aspect of it did end up being a deal breaker for me. But it's not too bad. I ended up selling it for $365, after spending $400 on it. So I got most of my money back.

While not entirely related to this channel, it is handheld, I bought the Panic Playdate yesterday. It'll probably be like ten days before it shows up.
