  • Nope. I don’t carry keys. A phone, a minimalist wallet, and mini handheld fit with plenty of room to spare.

    So you have plenty of room, but simultaneously cannot fit a clip-controller in your pocket? I take it you don't carry a back pack either, that would just be ridiculous lol.

    Such a weird argument "If you don't carry keys for some reason, you can instead fit a handheld console in your pocket" or you can just have a backpack or use one of these things (which also fits into your pocket and will allow you to turn your phone into a much better gaming device):

    There are plenty of devices like this and combined with your phone you can now play a lot more games, at higher resolutions with upscaling to combat the lack of dithering and get better frame rates... Oh and it will fit in your pocket and will be able to connect to a new phone when you get one, its future proofed.

  • It still isn't as cheap as using what you already own. Especially when what you are purchasing is essentially a downgrade.

  • While certainly my ROG phone plus gamesir is enough to even emulate this gen's handheld games. It cannot beat playing a gba game on an Anbernic rg35xxsp.

    Could you give a reason?

    Second is that some owns a low tier or a very old phone and they don't want to throw it away because it still works perfectly fine.

    My old iPhone 4 from 2010 could run n64 emulators just fine, low tier phones from the last 10 years can do pretty much everything this thing can do and a used one is definitely cheaper... Additionally if this strawman you have invented cannot afford a phone from the last 10 years they definitely cannot afford this thing.

    Then there is that storage issue. Some newer phones today no longer have an sd card slot for expandable storage.

    An SD card that can store all the PSP/N64/Dreamcast games would have to have more than 1tb of storage and cost anywhere from 180 to 700 bucks online... What world are you living in that this is a viable solution to the poor man who cannot afford a second hand phone.

    What you are trying to argue here is that a niche luxury device is a solution to someone with limited income, and you are doing it with a straight face whilst arguing with someone that presents a cheaper/free option. Do you see an issue with that?

  • So you walk around with your keys, phone, wallet and a console in your pockets at all times… just carry a bag or a backpack.

    If you really do carry all that shit with you i can imagine you look like this

  • Well, I have to either attach it to my phone with a clip of some kind (which makes for sometimes questionable ergonomics or for a very wobbly, insecure setup that makes me fear I'll drop my phone) Or I have to put my phone down on something, which for the sort of thing I use devices like this for just isn't doable.

    Personally I never felt the use of a clip or some other mounting system was that bad or wobbly, i certainly don't feel it's so bad that I had to spend money on a device with limited functionality (or a downgrade) just to manage that problem. Seems like backwards thinking or a bad solution to a problem that doesn't really exist.

    Which is exactly the point I'm making. I want to split that battery life up between devices, so my phone is less likely to die on me. I can deal without a handheld game console but if my phone taps out it's more of a problem.

    Which leads to my point. Why did you spend so much money on a device with such functionality if you are worried about using it? For the cost of one of these handhelds you can buy multiple battery packs/portable chargers and actually use the expensive phone you carry around with you at all times.

    Honestly if your phone dies that fast check your battery as it could be dying.

  • External Bluetooth controllers are always a pain.

    In what way? I use them and it works just fine. Plus, I already had one so it cost me nothing to use it with my phone.

    those clip-on ones are always awful.

    Again, how? The ones I have seen used work perfectly fine, plus there is a large number of devices to choose from; I am sure they aren't all awful.

    Plus it's splitting the battery life between two devices, nothing bugs me more than using my phone for everything only to be shocked that the battery dies twice a day.

    Most people carry a charger or battery pack with them anyways so that is not a problem. Besides aren't you already powering two devices when you carry this thing around with you... I'm gonna guess you have Bluetooth headphones too, so that's 3 devices now.

  • Yeah. So, I Bluetooth a console controller which works perfectly fine and is cheaper. But you can also buy attachments for your phone that turns into a controller if you really want.

  • Am I missing something, I don't see why are these hand helds becoming so popular?

    I'm running a PS2 emulator on my phone and playing God of War 2 with upscaling and anti-aliasing; why would you spend money on something a phone can do for free?

    Filtered as many words and phrases as I can (excluding X) and it's still not stopping the flood of posts.

    Does anyone know of a way I can filter this, is it even possible?

    If not could the app be updated to include a block 'X' posts without removing all words with the letter X in it?
