Heh, is 500cc the maximum you can do?

I think so unfortunately. I don’t think i could handle higher but i’d love to give it a try just once

cerebralhawks, do games w If you want to get into handheld gaming, but don't want to spend a lot, buy one of these.

I have the Razer one. It said it was for Android, and I do have an Android phone, and it basically works, but back then, iPhones were using Lightning. For whatever reason, it does not support iPhones. My iPhone has a bigger screen (6.9" vs 5.8") and is more powerful. The Android phone is good enough for retro emulation, of course, but iOS wins Nintendo emulation with Delta, due to the Google Drive backup feature. I have a Flygrip on my iPhone, and I have an 8bitdo Bluetooth controller that can pair to the iPhone. I think Xbox controllers can, too. My old Xbox One controller pairs to my Macs just fine. Maybe it’ll pair to iPhone.

Fortunately RetroArch is on iOS as well. I don’t think it can use all the cores, but it can use the ones that count (like PS1 and prior). I know on Android you get all of them, including PS2, PSP, Wii, NGC, and so on. But my Android phone is a Galaxy S10 (2019), so I wouldn’t expect it to run the newer games. My iPhone 16 Pro Max is capable, but won’t run the actual cores due to iOS restrictions.

I wonder how hard it would be to homebrew a Raspberry Pi, a custom screen, and a custom controller. Though for what you’d spend doing it (and the value of your time!) there are existing devices (mostly from China, I think) that are meant to do exactly that. But I wouldn’t know where to start with those.

I can even play games on my Apple Watch, but you gotta think, with only one hand controlling it (assuming you’re wearing the watch), you can’t play too many games. I have Zelda, as a proof of concept, but Pokemon is far more likely.

These days, just about anything can emulate. Not too many of them can do it well. A good example is, the original Super Mario Bros… The latency is way too high to play it like you can on original hardware, and it sucks that as advanced as our tech is, the game is virtually unplayable in any emulator. It feels like you’re playing on an ice level (like in Mario 2) almost with how slow the game is to react. We didn’t have this problem in the 80s playing on an actual NES. Even the newer Nintendo consoles are just emulating, and they are subject to the same latency issue. Even first-party Nintendo games on modern consoles can’t beat the latency. For example, on Animal Crossing — fucking Animal Crossing — fishing is impossible to do if a fish has 3 (of 5) stars of rarity or higher. The fucking second it bites, you press the button, latency got ya — you were too late. But undock the Switch and I can catch 5 star sharks, whale sharks, the fucking Coelacanth — every time. It’s a game for grade school kids. It’s not hard. But latency makes it go from “tricky” to “what the fuck why is this game so hard?” real quick.

thatKamGuy,

Thanks for bringing Delta to my attention! I use my Steam Deck for emulation - but now, I have another rabbit hole to go down for when I need to pack ultralight!

Any obvious iOS restrictions, assuming I’d be primarily interested in SNES gaming and have local access to any/every ROM file?

This doesn’t sound like a very stimulating or well thought out game, to be honest.

And the last time I posted this comment, you deleted the post and reposted it, after apologizing to me.

Sorry!

tanisnikana,

Yeah, your apology doesn’t mean anything.

tanisnikana,

Make a game that doesn’t feel like a bad facebook post?

Honesty, i looked at my username and said that would be a good Scrabble word. then I wondered what other peoples names would score. Thought it would be fun.

yakko,

Maybe just ignore posts you don’t like? This isn’t a big platform yet, people who actually post shouldn’t be discouraged.

Nelots,

And yet, more than a few people were happy to engage with it. Maybe you should take your own advice; not every thought needs to be commented.

I really enjoyed watching Oxhorn play Silent Hill 2 remake, well, once he stopped smashing windows obsessively. Also enjoyed games like The Quarry, Until Dawn etc but they might not be your type of thing.

For Dispatch-likes, perhaps other Telltale games would interest you. The Wolf Among Us was really good if I remember correctly. And the Walking Dead games were… a lot, emotionally, but good stories, the first one especially.

But gosh there’s just so many games out there. Maybe a Breath of the Wild playthrough would be up your alley.
A Hollowknight let’s play might be a bit boring, but I’m certain a lore video would be engaging.
Thomas Was Alone - that’s an older game so I couldn’t tell you if there’s any good videos of it, but it’s great.
Along similar old lines, BioShock games are good. And Dishonored in that same era/vein.

Killer Frequency might also be in the realm of Dispatch. Potentially Potionomics as well.

And any and all Supergiant games I think are great to watch or play. Loads of content in that company. And great songs :3

I think the Quantic Dream games (Detroit: Become Human, Heavy Rain, etc.) work well to watch since there isn’t much to miss out in the gameplay, mostly just walking, talking, and QTEs. The writing varies wildly in quality, so it’s often a MST3K-like experience with the game being mocked (at least ones I’ve watched), just depends whose playthrough you’re watching.

Suck_on_my_Presence,

Heavy Rain is the best if someone’s got the SHAAAWN glitch.

I don’t remember if I’ve ever seen Womble’s Goose Game. I love this so much.

Pacific Drive?

It’s a great game with a great story ( that I kinda rushed through because I couldn’t enjoy the constant tension - instead the couple playthroughs I watched were very enjoyable )

yakko,

I love the aesthetic, having had just such a car in just such a place when I was younger. Watching Pacific Drive makes me so nostalgic.

Yup, though I want to add that SteamLink on android is a step further. I’ve exclusively been playing this way ever since.

You get the convenience of mobile with the power of your desktop, plus most phones have Oled screens these days so even better. Also why I don’t own a Steam Deck, as this is just the better option for portable gaming imo.

sem,

What games can you play? Just controller based ones?
