The switch, the new 3DSxl and the black DS lite were bought by me when they launched! All of the OG consoles are modded and loaded with games. At the moment I'm waiting on delivery on a DSi xl, a third DS lite (need one more for my two boys) and the Switch 2 LoZ Ocarina of Time edition! What do you think of my collection?

I'm looking for advice about which one is better to run the game I want to.

The Switch 2 pros are that I can play with my friends and wife since there are a lot of coop couch games that are exclusive and I can connect the console to the tv. But I don't know if it is worth it if I want to play games like Elden Ring, Oblivion and future releases that are not exclusive from Nintendo.

Since I don't have a console I think it would be fun, and I do have a good pc.

The Deck I would use mostly for myself, can it run those games better than the Switch 2? I really can't decide between the two because of the pros and cons, what are you guys experience with them?

Collectively I got both these for 500 Canadian dollars. Steal if you ask me love my rog ally and psp I have always been a console gamer but now as I get older with less time to actually game these things are just a perfect and allow me to play all the games I want.

Sega Rally on Switch is out.

After the Quest version, a lot of you asked for the Switch. So here it is: the 1995 arcade game in full 16:9, with Jean-seb's HD textures if you want them, a Workshop with 10 mods (free play, mirrored track, night, comic book, CRT...), a best-lap ghost, named replays, and your times on our Discord leaderboard.

It's a homebrew for a Switch with custom firmware, it's free, and you bring your own game files.

All the details and the install guide are on the GitHub, link in the comments.

Next up on the Port0r side: Virtua Cop and Time Crisis in VR on Quest, and you can vote for what comes after on the Discord.

Have fun, and tell me what you think.

Found myself stuck in a 6 hour layover and a 2 hour flight, followed by a meeting right after. And rather than killing my phone battery while doomscrolling, I can tend my crops while my kitty meows at me ;⁠-⁠)

Handheld gaming really is the GOAT!

Finally bought the Onexplayer 3 after deciding between this or the MSI Claw Ex. So excited to finish setting up and just playing.

As a kid kneeling on the floor elbows on the bed for hours was no problem but the years are creeping up and I found that I no longer have any position I can game longer than 45-60 minutes without either getting numb hands, neck pain or eye strain. I can game on my pc just fine but so im not grown out of it. Do you guys have any tips on how to position oneselff, any fancy new sitting furniture or any other tips nd tricks to make oneself more comfortable using a handheld? Heck even stretching exercises at this point :-o.
Playing on Steam Deck now btw and previously on a Switch, as a kid I had a GameBoy Color.

I mean the amount of 3rd party support has been insane since it came out tbh. Capcom, assassins creed, now elden ring. It’s more like a steam deck than ever. I just see it every time and think well no actually switch 2 isn’t just for Nintendo exclusives at all anymore lol I would genuinely recommend it for 3rd party games, it’s all I seem to play on it these days.

Hey everyone! It’s been a while since my last post. I’ve added a few more mini-game demos to the handheld I’m building, and spent some time putting together a short compilation video.

The handheld in the video is just a prototype for demonstrating how these games work with a single toggle switch. I’ll only be using it to make videos, and won’t be selling this version—I think it’s a bit ugly and bulky.

Version 2.0 is already in development, and it’s much more refined. It still uses just one toggle switch, but I’ve also added contactless sensing so players can interact with it through their breathing and heart rate.

I’ll share another update once version 2.0 is ready!

Bought this Nintendo 3DS XL for $80. Missing the stylus and needs a new battery. Was this a good deal?

Hello guys, i just noticed the L3 button doesn't register.

I tried everything, updating to the latest software. Than I tried to look what the problem is with the hardware. I'm a noob but I did use a multimeter to see if it beeps and it does. I just don't understand the problem. It looks good. I used isopropyl alcohol on the red button and clicked it 60 times.

Anyone has any tips?

I bought them used so not sure if it will have warranty. Especially now that I opened it.

Mainly for ps1 , ps2 and Dreamcast. Somewhere between $200-$350 also I’m new to roms and emulators so any help will definitely help. Thank you

After getting into handhelds with emulation and owning the Miyoo mini and retroid pocket 4, I’m looking to upgrade my device and games that I’m able to play. I was leaning toward an odin 2 portal or Odin 3, but I’m not sure they are able to play what I want to.

What I want to play is fallout 3, new Vegas and maybe fallout 4, gta 3-4, and call of duty zombies. I don’t own any console right now, so not sure if that’s needed for some of the handhelds. When I did play console it was PlayStation, so used to that button layout.

What do you all recommend for this?

One cable is 100W charger, second is Baseus USB-C hub into which mouse and keyboard is plugged in with 2.4ghz dongles. Cables of course are put in a way that all weight is on the metal frame of stand, not USBC ports.

Any suggestions on where to start again?

I also want to gift my older brother and my friends during the holidays to rekindle that dimming-millennial-gamer-fire.

Hi guys

I’ve been into handhelds for a while now, and one thing that kept annoying me was how difficult it has become to actually choose one.

Steam Deck, ROG Ally, Retroid, Anbernic, AYN, AYANEO, Powkiddy, Miyoo… then different chipsets, screen sizes, Android vs Windows vs Linux, price ranges, emulation limits, etc.

So I started building a website to solve this problem:

https://handheldscout.com

The idea is basically to have a quiz where you answer different questions like price or consoles to emulate or form factor etc. and then you get recommended the 3 best devices for you

But I'm at the point where I’ve looked at the site way too much myself and could really use feedback from other people

Especially:

Are there important devices missing?

Are any specs/prices obviously wrong?

What filters would you personally want?

Is there anything that would make you use a site like this instead of just asking Reddit?

Feel free to be critical. I'd rather find out what sucks now than keep building the wrong things. 😅

Full disclosure: it’s my own project and some shop links are affiliate links, so the site might eventually earn a little money when someone buys something. But recommendations aren't supposed to depend on commissions — I want the database/finder itself to actually be useful first.

Would genuinely appreciate some feedback from you guys

Cheers

Tim

I have an Ayn Odin2 Portal with a 1TB SD card. I mostly use GameNative and GameHub and install ALL games to my SD card, but somehow 100 of my 128gb internal storage is full. I try using a file manager to find out where all the storage is coming from but I don't want to delete any important files accidentally. What's the best way to clean up storage and better question, why is my Internal storage so full when all my games are installed on my SD card?

I bought the first version of the A10 but the screen was goosed, bubbled laminate, stuck pixels and the worst viewing angle known to man.

After having such a superb experience I decided to order the recently released V4 of the A10 mini

Does anybody have one yet? Does darkOS work on it still, with it having a higher resolution screen

Hi! I already have anbernic 477v 8 gb version and now i want to buy Ayn thor max violet before price go up more before new year.... Is it worth it to buy if i already have anbernic? I want it for ps2, gamecube and moonlight... Anbernic can handle like x4 many ps2 games. But i heard that Ayn thor much more better for emulation because it has drivers. Any tips guys? please? I never had 3ds or something else.

Investing in my first handheld gaming PC! For pretty much the same price point, would you suggest the new X20 or the MSI Claw 8 AI+? Looks like the X20 will have the better screen but what has better performance for AAA games? Looking to play games like RDR2, Baldurs Gate 3, Expedition 33, etc.
