Some of them can support OG PS, it feels like a dream back in my childhood in the 90s.

These ones do support OG PS I believe, lay an eye on them

Oh yeah! This is the best idea! I'm setting off into the sunset soon to live out the rest of my life in the outdoors! For a while at least. I have a laptop so can run emulators on that but if everything is packed away it would be great to have a handheld.

A good friend at work (my boss) has a ANBERNIC set up. Its amazing. Cost is beyond fair, and its a sweet sweet lil OG gaming HH set up. Very very cool, and i would have poop'd a green apple if anything like that, was available when i was younger. (yes, I am buying one or two of them)

Great review and in general great tests on your channel! The R36S looks very good, just too bad that the coupons are not available in my country (France, confirmed by Ali customer support).

that controller has hall effect joysticks and trigger thats a welcome step up from the basic xbox controller right there.

[@MrBeetsGaming]

Completely off topic but I came across a mod called "DLSS Enabler beta FSR 3.1" on Nexus, I was looking to see if Alan Wake 2 had any mods earlier and saw it so I downloaded it. I don't know if you remember me mentioning on one of your LukeFZ framegen mod videos that I couldn't get it to work for Alan Wake 2 but I got this mod and the framegen seems to work absolutely perfectly, it supposedly works for 40+ games. Just thought you might be interested if it's something you aren't already aware of. Most of the text isn't in English other than the beginning of the description that says "Simulate DLSS Upscaler and DLSS-G Frame Generation features on any DirectX 12 compatible GPU in any DirectX 12 game that natively supports DLSS2, DLSS3 and now supports FSR 3.1 for AMD users. Simple adaptation by me until the official release of the source code creator."

[@wardehaj]

Great video! Do these work with lossless scaling?😂 More seriously: if you have a steamdeck or rog ally or other handheld pc: would you play retrogames with a handheld pc or with one of these retro gaming machines? And why?

Man, I had that Brick Game handheld that looked like a Gameboy Color with a bulge. Wish I could use that R36S but the hand position activates that tendinitis. Amazing toy and gift though. Might get that Trimui due to the better grip.

[@AncientGameplays]

The trimui anand Anbernic are both great, but I suspect the trimui will deliver a better experience due to a bigger screen

[@niko2002]

If I want to play nostalgic games that's not possible on PS4 or PS5, however with older games like call of duty black ops 3, it's not constantly filled with cheaters like on PC. I much rather play on pc than PlayStation, let alone Xbox. Wanna have the biggest game library new or old, PC is the way. You know its bad when mobile has a wider selection of games than console does now.

[@PlayGames-nb6fz]

Hello I jave a question about msi afterburner. What is cpu1 2 3....12? I have ryzen 5600 so it is 6 core only. Do these numbers are related to the thread count? cpu 1 CPU 2 CPU 3 CPU 4 and so on.... to cpu 12

Off-topic question but is Zen 4 iGPU Encoder performance any good? I've heard lot about RX6000/7000 GPU encoders but nobody seems to be talking about these iGPUs. It would be nice if someone gives me some info on this.

[@AncientGameplays]

Rx 7000 series have av1 which is considerably better, 6000 and 5000 have hevc (h265)

Are these pirated games? If so I'm not sure its a good thing to promote!

[@AncientGameplays]

@@timmyjohns222 of course not, they come in your device already. As it is open for everyone to buy in Aliexpress.

[@TerrorSyxke]

To anyone curious of these devices, mostly any android that was bought from 2018 onward can emulate dreamcast and older pretty well, and maybe some psp, and if its really good? PS2

[@AncientGameplays]

Yeah, but these cost a few bucks, usually have more battery time and have lots of emulators, that's the point I believe

Is not only that retro handhelds are amazing (to have all those games on the go is amazing). The think is that some retro games are simply amazing. Maybe it wasn't raytracing or photorealistic graphics, but you can play and replay a game and always was entertaining. Now games...well, one out of 100 games is memorable, the rest are repetitions of what has been already made and without personality (and I'm not taking on account that games are released broken, and by the time you can play properly, already lost the interest or patience about it).

[@AncientGameplays]

Exactly! Games nowadays are copy paste with zero personality (AAA games), indie games are usually much better at it nowadays

still playing 3DS, ds, psp, ps vita. those consoles no name brand poorly optimized on aliexpress i find em stupid ngl and useless how tf :'D you gonna play ds games and pspgames on this the original consoles do better and are made for this, using emu and roms that are free and orignally pirated but reselling em that's not even legal and they do not have a license for this they are surely using as well some software part that are normally opensource/free, better buy directly 3DS, ps vita (designed for that and proved many times theri quality, even older consoles I have to say use better quality elements compare to now) and do what you gotta do to have these games and runs better on it

[@AncientGameplays]

I am just passing the word and if they weren't legal they wouldn't be sellign for years straight and no...these consoles are usually better than the originals as you can choose emulator options, just my 2 cents

[@whatever-sayne4117]

@@AncientGameplays Actually the consoles the original ones are still far better than these emulators (I mean you proved it by showing us the bad fluidity of the games and playing psp ds in this is experience killer, impossible so much cons) and the os they are using for their products etc and generally the features you talked about in the video are already in their original consoles by hacking em in the first place which is free and accessible for everyoen cuz the ppl worked on this make that possible and free in the first place, By using for example the 3DS, You can play DS games + the 3DS ones and without emulating anything even the gba games (+ you can obvisouly EMULATE the ooolder consoles better) , same goes for ps vita (psp,ps1 etc) and you have the proper control buttons, and even tweaking with the hardware frequency, cheats, saves and so on is possible on the console, + the quality of these consoles still far better than the alieexpress ones, and it is indeed again not legal what they are doing, it's not because they did nothing for it in ALIEXPRESS that does mean it is legal, I just wanna say that's a shame to use the work of ppl to sell a product of yours when it is normally free. At this point you show us without I need to develop why it is not better cuz like you said "emulating" first and really bad emulating in comparison to the original consoles that use the proper instructions etc with their own hardware. and the fact that ps vita and 3DS and older original still working perfectly it is already proving why it deserve more attention than that Anyway I appreciate your work still but I strongly disagree with their product that brings nothing even worse and make money on the back of others ppl
