Gonna need more slabs…

Love how people claim this is antisemitic. How did anyone know they were Jewish in the first place?

Was it because they were marching and spouting anti-Palestinian chants while acting violent and starting fights? Nooo…

Let’s get this out onto a tray…

Nice!

Why do they bother with secret trials in the first place? Not like it’s going to be a fair trial anyways.

Explains why he loves the flavour of Krabby Patties so much.

Disgusting, and despite the “criticisms” thrown at Israel nothing will change and more innocent people will die.

You must be doing something wrong then lol, i just downloaded the game and it works just fine.

verify the bins manually and i made sure all of the checksums matched before installing

Clearly not. Plus the fact that the bat file doesn’t run should be raising red flags no…?

Getting the obvious stuff out of the way.

Did you re-download the files?

Did you run the pre-installation program first?

Does running the launcher in admin mode fix anything (doubt this will do anything, but has worked for me once).

Others say the installation is working fine for them and I have never had issues with Fit-Girl downloads myself. So, either your PC is the issue, or your files became corrupted and need to be downloaded again.

Metro did this right, both you and your enemies can be killed in one to two shots, making combat tense and rewarding.

As consumers use more AI capabilities they can actually feel the convenience and benefits they bring. I believe strongly that these Galaxy AI, mobile AI are strong motivations and drivers for the purchase of new products.

Yes, but not your products.

I believe that the heart does, goooooooulld!

So instead of spending 300 bucks for a decent mid tier phone replacement, plus accessories, spending 99 bucks is far more cost effecent.

This was your original argument and now you are claiming it’s turned to this.

Look, you’re missing the point entirely and deflecting with straw man arguments. My argument isn’t about specifically using an iPhone 4, but rather about the overall practicality and user experience

Even if older phones have better specs on paper, they still require additional accessories, setup, and often don’t provide the same seamless, optimized experience that retro handhelds do.

When a device as old as an iphone 4 can draw comparisons to your handhold, a newer used phone can be bought on the cheap that can easily exceed your handhelds performance and battery life (the device in the article can die in 2 hours from a full charge! Wtf). You are just attempting to pivot away from that point by overly focusing on the Iphone 4s performance which is hilarious, no one is paying $300 bucks to get a phone that can compete with your handheld; not even $99; And if they did pay $300 they are getting a phone that will smoke your shitty little handhelds performance. Additionally I finished paper mario on my old iPhone 4 and it was fine.

When your imaginary ‘poor man’ has to choose between a gaming device or a phone that can do everything the gaming device can do and is also a phone. They will choose the phone every time. You have made an absolutely retarded argument trying to claim this device is the smart financial choice, its a fun luxury and that’s being kind to it.

Strawman. Carrying an external controller and clip might be feasible for some, but it adds extra steps and hassle compared to simply using a dedicated retro handheld that is always ready to use. The ease of quickly starting a game on a dedicated device cannot be matched by the multi-step setup required for phone gaming with external controllers.

It is feasible, you’re just exacerbating the issue in order to make a point. Either way you are carrying around a device that allows for gaming. But by choosing your handheld you are carrying a device that struggles to compete with the phone sitting in your pocket. You have less games, they will run worse and your screen is small and low res… But you feel awkward carrying a controller aww, better sacrifice performance to not feel like a loser 😭.

Enjoy having a limited catalogue and paying for it.

Your claim that a cheap used phone is automatically better ignores these crucial advantages and the hassle of setting up and configuring emulators. So let’s stop cherry-picking details and face the facts: dedicated devices offer a streamlined, superior gaming experience.

Every emulator I have ever downloaded comes pre configured and if you don’t know how or don’t want to adjust settings you don’t have too, this is such a nothing point. Besides you are still downloading roms and having to transfer them to your device, when my phone ‘streamlines’ that experience by downloading the roms directly; no additional hardware required to access games.

Enjoy the hassle of not being able to update your game catalogue on the fly without resorting to using a computer or even your phone…

Not everyone wants to juggle a phone and extra peripherals for a subpar experience. The reason people spend money on these devices is for convenience, ease of use, and a superior, uninterrupted gaming experience that their phones can’t match. It’s about quality, not just capability.

Because juggling a phone and a gaming device is so different to a controller that connects to your phone in some way. Additionally, I’d argue that a small screen and tiny controls that cramp my hands are far from a superior gaming experience.

Uninterrupted experience haha! You know your phone has aeroplane mode right? Once again you paid money for a phone you don’t use… Bet you carry a camera around with you at all times for the same reason right? that uninterrupted photography experience can’t be matched, and it has a greater ease of use and capability! Do you also carry a music player/iPod at all times for the same reason?

Feel free to reply, I am not going to read what you have to say. You pivot from your own arguments, create problems that don’t exist, attempt to use your own insecurities as a selling point (people will look at me if i have a clip on-controller 😭) and you constantly ignore the fact that the average person already has a phone that can do everything this device can do and for free whilst claiming it’s the cheaper option.

I am going to go play god of war or FF12 at with upscaling, bigger screen, a solid frame rate and play with the controller it was actually designed to be played with.

(Btw you are totally going to reply, you can’t help yourself… dance puppet dance! 👏).

Lmao what? You’re interpreting this way differently than what I said. I mean sure, phones today are far more powerful than the Anbernic SP, but let’s see here.

Yes they are a lot more powerful and able to run more demanding emulators; They also run smoother.

If I put the two in my pocket (because the Anbernic SP is small en****ough to fit in a pocket just like a phone). If I want to game with my phone using some retro game, I have to get my phone, get that external controller from a bag (because there is no way in hell a controller can fit in a pocket, and even if you can, you look like a loser doing so), then finally attach that controller. You don’t see the problem here?

There are a lot of options for turning a phone into a gaming device, you can use the controller laying around your home, which is free. Or you can purchase a device that clips to your phone like a switch controller for the cost of one of these handhelds. There is no problem carrying a controller and clip in your bag, none. Just because you are worried you might look like a loser is your problem, it’s like you are trying to turn your personal fears into a selling point.

False equivalency fallacy. You are basically telling me that just because the iPhone theoretically has better specs means it can emulate N64 well, ignoring the emulation overhead. Not to mention I actually tried playing an N64 game on a jailbroken iPhone 4 decades ago only to find out the games are laggy.

Just because the iPhone from 14 years ago has better specs!? Are you seriously arguing that people should purchase one of these handhelds because it can compete with an iPhone 4. I think you are looking at the wrong aspect of my argument, you were selling this device as a cheap alternative to an expensive modern phone. But I am pointing out that plenty of older phones sell used for cheaper and can compete with (and in many cases out perform) handheld consoles… You get that right?

Also doubt you tested a N64 emulator on an iPhone 4 decades ago since the device isn’t that old. I think you just pulled that out of your ass to try and make a point lol.

No, it’s not a deal based on the math I did earlier. And good luck browsing the internet with that iPhone 4 of yours, lmfao

Again you missed my point and assumed I am arguing someone should use an iPhone 4 over one of these things. When an iPhone 4 can compete with your handheld a cheap/used modern phone can easily exceed it. Way to cherry pick a sentence from a paragraph and ignore context.

And so far, you aren’t bringing any aside from pulling the hasty generalization card by saying everything can be done by a phone.

It can be done by a phone for free… A point you fail to acknowledge over and over again. Everyone has a phone and they can all run emulators, so why would someone spend money on a device that can’t even compete with their phones? An answer you have failed to provide.

It’s pretty clear here that you are not asking what you’re missing with these retro handhelds’ popularity.

It was actually the question I asked in my very first comment, and I have yet to receive a convincing argument from you (unless you count feeling awkward using a controller with your phone as a convincing point).

It appears that you just came in here, already decided that retro handhelds are shit, and everything must be done via a phone. You started antagonizing everyone here and questioning their preferences (which is why you are ratioed so badly in this whole thread).

Asking why I should purchase one of these devices over using what I already have is a fair question, and being downvoted by fanboys who don’t like being challenged on their purchases means nothing. Downvotes don’t mean anything.

I will just say what others have said: you are not the intended audience of these devices.

Apparently asking questions is not something the intended audience does.

I just said, form factor. Anbernic rg35xxsp is the closest you can get to a Gameboy SP. Sure you could argue your Phone controller is far better but these GBA games where designed with the hardware and form factor they have in mind.

If you are using a device to run multiple emulators, arguing the form factor is better than a phone in a single instance (Gameboy SP) is backwards. It’s like you’re conceding that a phone is better in every other way; which it absolutely is.

Your old iPhone4 can play N64 fine? Show it. Prove it here that your iPhone 4 can play n64 games without frameskip. no stutters, no sound jittering. Heck start with Super Mario Kart, then Mario 64, then what the hell, lets add Starwars Rogue Squadron in there.

Because I am pretty much confident you are gonna have frameskips enabled just to even make the game playable.

An iPhone 4 from 2010 has 4 times the memory and twice the processing power required by an N64 emulator, it’s more than sufficient. keeping in mind your original point was the cost of a smartphone capable of running said emulators was beyond the cost of these handhelds… Which is just not true; especially when a device from 14 years ago can do it.

For the same money you can get a used smartphone from the last 10 years that runs all the games your rg35xxsp can and is also a phone. A person who has limited funds (your strawman) would be better off with a phone instead of these things.

Because 180 to 700 bucks SD card you are referring to is a top of the line SD card meant for more powerful devices like the SteamDeck. You can get cheaper ones for less and even then 1tb is just overkill for that.

Most phones have sufficient storage to carry all the games you need. But, when people argue the value of an SD card they talk about carrying all the games released on a console and to do that you need more than a 256gb card.

Also you are totally missing the point here. With a phone, your storage is shared not just for games but with everything else. From videos you downloaded for offline use on your Netflix/Primevideo/HBO/Disney+ bullshit down to your offline music from Spotify and Youtube Music.

And your seemingly forgetting phones have the internet, I can just download any game I want wherever I am. Rather than storing all of them all the time just in case you might want them.

How many games do you need at one time anyways, you clearly don’t want all of them because a large enough SD card to fit them is just overkill. But you aren’t satisfied with 100gb or so? So, what arbitrary amount have you decided you need to justify the addition of an SD card?

Seriously, how much storage is sufficient and why? (keeping in mind you can only play one game at a time)…

Also not to mention these devices have SD cards bundled already so you don’t really need to buy one unless you opted for more storage to store more games on the go.

And for the same cost I can get a used phone bundled with a camera, internet, console, sms, email and shit load more features. But you get a sd card, what a deal!

Pretty much everyone has a phone already that can do what this can, and your best argument for buying one of these things is the lack of an SD card. But in the same comment you also argue that a large SD card is overkill.

I love when people attempt to gatekeep what constitutes art.

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.
