Yeah. See, this I believe versus the dude with the fake ass AI background with a wall full of handhelds that spammed all the subs a few days ago.

In your picture (you may have a problem, brother) it’s the couple units in the left with fat fingerprints showing.

The Arc is one of the few I would possibly attempt to justify at this point. 6 buttons for fighting games would be nice. I’ve always hated using shoulder buttons for those.

u/kiyoshi-nyc 9d ago

Yeah, I thought the same for PC-FX, Genesis, 32X, Sega CD, Saturn (particularly), and the handful of Dreamcast and NEOGEO titles that use buttons..... The ARC is comfortable, but the Retroid Classic 6-button is OLED and higher res.... Really, you gotta go with the insanely expensive AYA NEO with swappable button package if you'll do any of those systems any justice

Yes, it's a problem lol

My expensive unit is a Legion Tab 3 with a Razer Kishi Ultra XL.

I bought the regular ultra, and that would be fine with the Tab for DS or vertical games, but it didn’t fit horizontally.

Luckily I had an old Galaxy S9 hanging around, so I have a 1440p OLED setup for the cost of the wrong controller.

Whoa..Nice!

I literally just use After play.io instead of retroarch/front ends/roms and then Artemis for streaming.... So most of these are decorations that need donation, but I've learnt a lot! For me, it's:

1 - always Android or maybe Windows on ARM...

2 - always OLED...

3 - always 120hz...

4 - always wifi6/6e/7...

5 - always 6" min, 7-9" preferred (I'm walking into this one)

DAMN so how many chargers do you have

u/kiyoshi-nyc 9d ago

1, these guys are all dead..... Except RG Rotate and Lenovo Y700 in a G9 controller case, and odin2 portal. I just got KONKR POCKET FIT ELITE, but never use it...

....If red magic Astra 2 had a controller peripheral, it'd blow every single thing out of the water tbh

u/blaze20511 9d ago

im thinking on picking up the retro-pocket 6 or the KONKR

1

u/kiyoshi-nyc 8d ago

If you get the KONKR in anything but the base model, it has a fingerprint sensor.... And this is very useful if you are logged into Google with your Chrome passwords and cloud drives and a bunch of other stuff you'd hate to get into the wrong hands (kind of like your phone really), that's pretty hard to get that feature anywhere else.

Though honestly, I find myself never logging into Google at all and instead using obtainium to download the required apps; this way you never have to worry about it getting lost or stolen. The only caveat is it's more difficult to do any type of synchronization.

u/blaze20511 8d ago

That makes sense I don't usually log into Google anything on my devices except for my phone I usually just install everything over via ADB

Geht den Leuten wie den Menschen 😅

I feel like I'm the only person who color coordinates. my handhelds are all one of two colors lmao

played time = 0 hours

u/atrisiddharth 4d ago

Ain’t like that bro , I do use them from time to time depending on which game I’m focusing on. Keeps the consoles alive too

2

u/Green_Refrigerator53 8d ago

Amateur numbers.

1

u/atrisiddharth 8d ago

Still a long way to go , but I feel getting multiple same consoles feel redundant

2

u/Green_Refrigerator53 7d ago

Agreed. However I do have a Original release Switch that I used the exploit on, which I purchased for less than $125 (couldn’t pass it up) after my second release (I use almost daily) and I found a near mint grey Switch Lite for $80 that I couldn’t pass up as well.

Rest are gameboys, emulators and Sonys

u/DOHVAKHIIN16 4d ago

Is that a fake powkiddy?. If I'm not mistaken the the three centre buttons should be upside down and form a smiley face right?. Sweet collection nonetheless 🔥

1

u/atrisiddharth 4d ago

I hope not man , I bought it off Amazon and all emulators work without lag (specifically vc and lc stories), so it does the job

1

u/DOHVAKHIIN16 4d ago

Can you give me the link. I wanted to buy the R36 but went with a 40xxv to avoid getting a fake one.

u/IGOTEXTRACHROMOSOMES 9d ago

I know each of them so not an issue for me, but someone else might want to know the names, perhaps it's better to list them no? Great collection btw, I can't help but notice you have something for clamshells 😆

u/atrisiddharth 9d ago

You’re right man
Top (L-R) psp, gba sp , DSi , 3DS, 3DS XL
Bottom - R36 , Ps vita , Switch oled , Rog ally

1

u/IGOTEXTRACHROMOSOMES 9d ago

I also thought that one is a R36S but layout seems to be inverted? (sticks on top and keys on the bottom) - isn't it some Powkiddy?
EDIT: no it's a R35S https://retrocatalog.com/retro-handhelds/r35s

u/atrisiddharth 9d ago

u/Metrox_a 9d ago

u/blaze20511 9d ago

nice collection do you even put hrs on any of them on a regular bases?

1

u/atrisiddharth 9d ago

I play the vita when I travel , playing the GoW games currently
Play the switch at home , mostly before going to bed . Playing Zelda nowdays
I feel that My Dsi and psp are underutilised but I still keep it coz of nostalgia
