Comfy handheld thread

Why do people want $100 for fucking Game Boy Micros? I want a small comfy handheld, but for some reason they're treated like gold.

Because no one bought them at the time, still regret selling mine for 40$ and a shitload of pokemon cards

It's not that hard

I adore handhelds, I have a comfy shelf for mine. Playing them comfy games on a Saturday is the best.

I love handhelds but I hate the fact that I can't play for more than 6 hours without needing to recharge it, I only play them at home anyway but it's annoying.

It doesn't even take an hour to do, god damn

I have way more but this is what's out on display.

part of being an adult collector is making sure your home is clean, you need to clean at least one to two times a week anyway.

lel, just proving me right.

not that user, but it's the V-Saturn, a Sega Saturn variant

playing Megaman Battle Network 1 and the fact that every fucking area feels like a maze spiked with random encounters is really hampering my enjoyment of the otherwise good combat and fun customisation

You're a good man, user. I usually check the v's recommended games wiki for this sort of stuff but the vita page is pretty barren.

Vita2000 here. How much am i missing out without an oled screen?

For a second I thought you were talking about Photo Dojo

put your shit in a case you dolt, and stop handling your toys without gloves. They're just assets

Is it worth getting a 3DS again?
I had one but sold it shortly after the Switch dropped.

Only game I don't have on Switch rn that I liked was Animal Crossing.

>psp
>comfy
until you broke your hand doing claw gesture on the only good games it had

Just get a N3DS/N2DS for cheap and then hack it for all the games

Currently in my collection is;
PS Vita original
3Ds xl original
Psp 3000
DSi
Gba sp
Switch

I've honestly not used my home consoles or pc for months

Man the 2DSXL in white/orange is so sexy.

>go to walmart
>buy new joycons
>return old joycons in box

I want one of this so bad but it's so
goddamned expensive , does retroarch runs good??

I don't like the colors but I got it for $50 so I cant argue. I'd really rather get any of the other colors.

How hard is it to hack.
I could Google it but out of curiosity are we talking a 30 minute ordeal?

about an hour, at least it was for me in the past
it's not hard and you have a detailed guide handholding every part

it's really easy just follow 3ds.guide. should take about 10 or so minutes.

the first model GPDWIN goes for like 200 on Ebay and I think its pretty good look up some retro arch benchmarks for it

It takes an hour and its very easy considering the guide tells you what to do every step of the way

Why do people hate handhelds? Its like they hate fun. Some of the most memorable experiences I've had have been with handheld games.

Ill look into it, i just want emulation of older consoles, fallout 1 and 2 portable would be nice, and some morrowind perhaps.

A little. Colors really pop but I don't miss the Mura effect or the shitty start button.

Because they don't look like Crysis and make you watch 100 hours of cutscenes unless youre playing Xenoblade 2

How is TSL

Those are possible on android.

It's just a cool device because you instantly have all of steam on it and my dream of playing NV on the go can be finally realized

dont they check the serial numbers?
plus they ask for ID with returns

I played MGS2 on my Vita about a year ago, now finally getting around to playing 3 on 3DS.
If it weren't for the shit framerate this would be the best version, crouch walking and touchscreen UI/map are great additions.

Since posted a metric fuckton, I'll let you know what I really enjoyed of them

do people hate handhelds? i can't imagine many reasons other than people buttblasted their favourite handheld game isn't a AAA experience or wanting everything on their phone

Ff14 on vita's remote play works surprisingly well. I'm amazed.

No. The joycons have no SN#. Just make sure they look clean. Yeah you need an ID if you dont have a reciept, which if your swapping you should.

I'm not a child anymore, when I'm bored in the car I'm the driver and can't take my eyes off of my phone to play vidya while driving and when in home I wanna play on my PC, handhelds are cool especially when the PSP was just a slightly crappier PS2 and the vita were a slightly crappier PS3. Gba was a portable SNES tho

I recommend looking it up on YouTube. It's simpler that way.

the only time you can think of wanting a handheld is in a car?

Play Tactics Ogre

>handhelds were only COOL and GOOD when i wasn't a CHILD
get a load of this autist

It'd be interesting to see a N3DS version of MGS3. As it is it's kind of cool having MGS3D on 3DS up against MGS3HD on Vita, just for two totally different takes on making the same game portable.

No but, I don't go anywhere where I'd be bored besides home anymore I get why japs who ride trains and shit to work like them but if I was a jap Salaryman I'd just be drinking all the time on the train so I still don't think I'd have handheld time

Lately... Dead Cells, Mordhau, A Hat in Time, Grim Dawn, and I'll be playing Path of Exile again next weekend. I'm most looking forward to receiving my first batch Valve Index, and WoW Classic.

Grow up nigga if you are going to be so bored somewhere you have time to bust out the switch and start playing you might as well not go there

Don't forget you'd be too busy with pachinko machines as well.

What's the current version on the vita that can be homebrewed?

I'm going to try to buy a gameboy micro even if it's only for show
It's just so fucking sexy

3.70 I think.

Why do the DSXLs seem so large until you actuall pick them up?

I'd be there every night then walk right next door to the pawn shop to get my morning beer money

Why buy a handheld if you are just gonna sit on the couch with it? Seems like you could just dock the switch

Does your 3DS XL hinge move from side to side? Its really annoying

As in there's like a millimetre of space at one side of the hinge that allows you to push the top screen to one side.
Then all of them have it. Someone told me it was to safeguard it by giving it some room to move, but it seems more like a design flaw.

Have the ones I currently play on my desk, the rest (Vita, DSi XL, DS, GBC and SP) in a drawer.

different strokes i suppose
i enjoy the easy pick up and play nature of a handheld, it feels somewhat like i'm committing when I sit down to play at my PC

What Vita theme is that?

I sold mine for about the same. No regrets. Fucker was too small

How is Tokyo School Life

I love handhelds!
Don't have a Vita, not enough games there and I'm not super interested in weeb rpgs. That DSLite works but only as a gameboy, bought it with a broken top screen already. one of the fat PSPs is just used for parts

>Why do people hate handhelds?
biggest and most common complaint i see is "muh tiny screen i cant see shit bawwww"
i've bought a shitton of handhelds in the past and it's the only thing i can agree on. i always loved their concept, but it just doesnt immerse me as much as playing on a bigger screen. still haven't bothered hacking my n3ds and i only play my switch in docked.

Attached: 515.jpg (302x371, 72K)

Its annoying but most people say its there because the DS hinges broke too often hence they made it loose

Should I get DSlite/DSi if I already have 3ds?

I prefer playing DS games on a DS Lite; Screen is sharper and colors better, and the dpad is in a better position (using the L button while using the Dpad on the 3DS is miserable)

I dunno, I'm pretty set for next gen desu.

Get a DSi XL, you won't regret it, unless you want the GBA Slot get a DS lite then.

>Stores near me don't even sell the 3DS anymore
Finding a New non-XL 3DS is going to be impossible isn't it?

try second-hand sellers

Just look online. Hit up Amazon if they exist in your market, they can usually hook you up with basically everything. They're even selling Japan-import Vitas new in box.

Considering playin SMT Strange Journey, is the 3DS one much different from the NDS one? I've been seeing people getting overly autistic over the 3DS one but I'm not likely going to be able to play the NDS one at this point.

It happened to my 1000 once already. Don't bother ordering a third-party replacement unless if you know one that definitively works for your model, get a NOS battery.

What is your favorite special edition handheld?

Cool metroid

Couldn’t be assed to dig through my moving boxes to get my N3DSXL, GPD Win, or Nvidia Shield right now, but here’s all the other actual handheld consoles I’ve got with me.

I’m pretty content with what I have though there’s a few machines I’d like to still pick up. PSP Go is first and foremost for PSX jarpigs, and Game Gear is the main missing library I can’t play right now, but admittedly am uneasy about suffering with its screen since it’s distracting as hell on the Nomad and PCE GT.

I've had 2DS for a while, but I sold it because the buttons were terrible, it felt like some chinese toy. How are the N3DS, N2DS or even the original 3DS in this regard?

I wish there was a decent GBA clone. I hate playing them on 3DS.

Emulation wise, what the vita can't emulate properly or at all?

ps4

My original 3DS screen got an ugly scratch so I abandoned it in my drawer. Bought myself a N3DS afterwards and I could instantly tell how much worse it was quality wise; the buttons were really mushy and feels like a fisher price toy, I didn't have as much control on the analog stick (it felt way too tight), and the screen looked blurrier with worse colors.

If I still give a fuck about the 3DS in a year or two I'll definitely make sure to get the OG 3DS again, fuck the new ones and I recommend everyone to do the same if you don't care about the console's size or some useless shitty "c-stick" too much.

What is the best RPG on the vita?

There's nothing but improvements in the 3DS one. Maybe some art changes, voice acting, and a few tweaks here and there designed to make the game (slightly) less grueling during certain parts, but I don't see that as anything to complain about.

It's s fantastic game either way, hope you enjoy

If you count dungeon crawlers then I'd probably pick Dungeon Travelers 2. I also really enjoyed the Atelier series, Digimon Story games and World of Final Fantasy.

To keep production costs down and increase sales margin.
>inb4 people mistakenly believe Switch (or PS4, for that matter) are sold at a loss

>The console for Weebs that watch old school anime and do drugs. They overdose at cons.
Was half-expecting you to say "The console for hoarders that spam pics of their setup on Yea Forums with 30 consoles and 300 games, all of them unusable because they're either not hooked up or buried behind a wall of merch". Being into old-school anime and being a degenerate on the con scene at least sounds like it'd never be boring.

I also see that you're apparently a fan of GBA Micros given that your stereotype for their owners is the most flattering for them.

My PSP battery has expanded and I think the screen's fucked

A gamer in which you play video games regularly.

SNES, GBA, and DS emulation on Vita is trash. Get a N3DS which can do all of those wonderfully.

>I also see that you're apparently a fan of GBA Micros given that your stereotype for their owners is the most flattering for them.
Nah. I never owned a GBA Micro. The console itself just seem to be the one made for the person I described.

Whats the best iteration of the 3DS available? I want to replay the GBA/DS library while I'm at it but worried the newer models might be harder to get working emulation on

A hacked small N3DS.

>the newer models might be harder to get working emulation on
the new models are the only ones that emulate SNES well. and you have to update any 3ds to the latest firmware if you want to hack it without a flashcard anyway.

Goddamn zoomers having no idea how piracy was years ago. Good luck soldering a modchip or flashing a DVD drive with half the console open and connected to your computer. Spoiled cunts.

All models and firmwares can be hacked afaik. The best one to get is a N3DS. XL or regular is up to you.

How about N2DS XL?

A downgrade in every way from the N3DS. Why would you want that?

Build quality(buttons, hinges, plastic, screen) O3DS or N3DS XL?

It's the exact same shit minus 3D.

worse build quality -- feels cheap and has a floppy screen. bad speaker placement too.
