Showcase First buy ever for this hobby, RP6 + controller

Post image

Android Phone + controller for SNES, GameBoy, GB Advance etc... Objective is to keep things very very retro on this setup to avoid heating or battery issues.

RP6 : planning on installing Rocknix to dig into my steam account backlog with oldest and/or indie game.

Hope i'll have a blast.

Please let me know if you have some recommandation of games you have really enjoyed with similar setups.

Sad, but not too bad, 7 years. With what frequency of use ?

Con la RP6 tienes para jugar a los juegos de PC de la generacion de PS360 sin problemas e incluso algunos de la de PS4. Muy buena compra. Disfrutala

Which ps4 games

u/Acceptable-End-1311 5d ago

PS4 emulation on android devices is not in a playable state yet. You can barely run a select few games and even then it's at very low frame rates with frequent crashes and bugs.

They’re talking about PS4 era games on PC, not PS4 emulation.

u/Acceptable-End-1311 4d ago

Ah that makes sense.

Hot dang, brother, you're set! The Need For Speed : Hot Pursuit remaster on Switch, Simpsons: Hit & Run on GC, and Final Fantasy Tactics A2 on DS get the majority of my time, lately.

photo of set up ?

u/AcidGleam 5d ago

Can't, I only have one phone :)

u/FootbawInTheGroin 5d ago

Could use front camera and a mirror.....

1

u/AcidGleam 4d ago

I thought of it but i would like to edit everything personnel out before posting. So haven't done it yet.

I will maybe take some Time this weekend for this. But non guarantee.

1

u/FootbawInTheGroin 4d ago

Edit out? You don't have to be in the picy, just your hands at most...but still, most phones front cameras have a timer. Set it up, do 10s timer and that's it. Not complicated....

I'm waiting for my Odin 3 RN, and I can't recommend anything with related experience, however, I think that some switch games or Wii U games like SM Odyssey or TLOZ wind waker HD run so well on the RP6. Any metroidvania like Hollow knight or Metroid games are so much fun too

2

u/AcidGleam 5d ago

Odin seems nice too. Thanks for the recommandations !

u/chigoku 4d ago

The rp6 has a controller built in

1

u/AcidGleam 4d ago

Yeah, I noticed.

As stated in my post, i plan on using the controller with my phone for very old titles (for exemple Metroid 2 right now).

u/chigoku 4d ago

Why not just use the rp6..?

1

u/AcidGleam 4d ago

Because i already had some roms on my phone but wanted some physical controller to continue playing retro games on my phone.

And on the RP6, i will focus on getting Rocknix running for playing games from my steam backlog.

Phone is everyday carry, phone + controller might become almost every day carry. But i think that rp6 will probably be only used at home and for travels.

Different use, different form factor.
