Super super cool. I don’t have a need for this since I have a nice modded 3ds lite, but the youtube on one screen and gaming on the other is absolutely sick. The screen size and color depth looks great too.

Does it have an SD card slot? I didn’t see it on their site but I assume so.

It does, yes! I’m running all my ROMs from a Samsung SD card on there.

Wow this device looks amazing, love the form factor, and the wider top screen makes it so much better and more versatile

Gaming and streaming? No idea. I’ve been on a 5G hotspot for two years at this point, and it acquits itself well enough. Generally 150-450mbps. At no point have I thought “this cheaper thing simply isn’t serving my needs.”

But I can’t hit the broadside of a barn in a shooting game. Seriously, while still on a landline, my college roommate bought me Red Dead Redemption 2, and the first task was to shoot the broadside of a barn, which I could not do.

Thankfully, he views that story as being recompense for his financial outlay. I mean, I’d never played a shooting game.

Neat! Can it run WiiU games as well?

DaMummy,

Yes, but the WiiU emu on android isn’t that great, and you’d be better off using a switch emu, as the best wiiu games were ported to switch anyway.

@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

Exactly this!

CEMU on Android is still very new to the scene, so some things work and some don’t. I’d consider it just an added bonus (like Wind Waker!) when things work!

Rooty,

Wait, it runs Android? One one hand ewww, on the other ooo F-droid store!

SBC gaming and Emulator handhelds have rekindles my zest for gaming. Mainstream consoles are dull and uninspired monetization machines while PCs are overrun with GPU fetishists and Steam cultists.

Damn it can play Mario Odyssey?? I am a little surprised it can emulate Switch games, but damn that’s cool.

I understand why it’s Android but that also feels so limiting in a way…

PerfectDark, (edited )
@PerfectDark@lemmy.world avatar

Yes! It depends on which Switch games, of course Switch emulation is a slippery slope of diving into drivers, settings and builds. But a lot of games run well!!

Even more surprising was WiiU (since that emulator is quite recent on the scene!), and PS3! WipEout HD: Fury was fun to play!

Little edit: I’ve actually got an article on Eden emulator coming up soon, I interviewed two of the devs, and I’m writing things up now. So if you’re interested in the ‘main’ Switch emulator being built and maintained, then keep an eye out for when I post it! You can just bookmark my author link here and when it’s up, it’ll appear there

Dudewitbow,

the bigger wall with switch emulation on android is that mobile companies are terrible at writing gpu drivers when compared to conventional desktop/laptop graphics vendors. its why for example the older snapdragon gen 2/3 outperform their newer snapdragon elite counterparts in emulation.

theres significantly more setup time on mobile because some of the jank doesnt “just work”

The Snapdragon 865 is the undisputed winner of all for the Switch, even now after so much time has passed. Time will change that, and the community is what drives changes, but it’s definitely a unique scene!

SnotFlickerman,

If the SD865 is the undisputed champ does that mean that the Lite version is actually the best for Switch Emulation since that’s the one that ships with SD865?

While it’s outdated, its the divers that make it the better option for Switch emulation! But, with time will come drivers which make the newer upgrades work as well, like 8gen2. Right now, it’s the community support that keeps the 865 being the most stable and the one I’d recommend the most (with Turnip) for Switch emu!

But as for everything else? It’s a weigh up for what is most important to you!

DaMummy,

The next Eden update focuses a lot on the snapdragon elite series, without even using turnip drivers.

If it is not a direct fiber connection the I would not use it unless it’s the last resort.

If by streaming, you mean that you will be streaming content, then it will likely be terrible as the dropped packets will cause stutters in your video.

I imagine a secular connection will drop significantly more packets due to environmental interference that fiber and Ethernet is not really subject to.

I have not used T-Mobile specifically but I did try out a 5g home internet product and one thing to look out for is that trees can interfere with your signal, so make sure there’s not trees between where you’ll put your access point and the towers. If you’re in the northern hemisphere and the leaves have fallen also keep in mind that the signal could be affected more when the leaves come back.

Gaming and streaming each have different requirements. Gaming needs low latency, but doesn’t require a lot of bandwidth. Streaming requires high bandwidth, but is okay with a decent amount of latency.

Bandwidth is the amount of traffic you’re sending through your pipe. It’s a lot easier for your provider to keep this steady and they can guarantee a certain level of service here. Make sure you look into how much bandwidth you’ll be getting and how much bandwidth your streaming setup requires, then give yourself at least a 25% headroom.

Latency is how quickly that traffic makes it from your computer to the internet. This will have a far bigger impact on your actual performance in-game. If you’re in the competitive scene, the other players will likely all have cable/fiber connections and they will have a real advantage on you as they can see you faster and react more quickly. This isn’t as much of a problem if you’re a casual player online or with friends.

Your quality of cell service will have a major impact on latency and it will also probably be inconsistent throughout the day as there’s more and less cell network load. This means that you could find yourself where certain games only run well during certain parts of the day.

All this to say, usually cell providers have a return policy before you’re locked into the plan. Try it out with some stress tests and see how it plays out. Keep in mind you’ll likely need enough bandwidth to both stream out of the network and enough to watch the stream to monitor it as well.

This looks really cool. This is what the DS should have been when it came out. Or at the very least the 3DS. I’m about to check this out.

prole,

Not sure the DS could have had a screen like the top one at that time, at least not without making it cost like $1,500. The tech wasn’t there yet.

often I think to myself “damn, i should buy one of these dual screen handhelds to emulate 3DS games!”

…and then i remember that i have a 3DS lol

HorreC, do games w My AYN Thor

I didnt read your article (I did goto their page on the device) but I was wondering to anyone that did, did they disclose what type of sticks they use. For this price if its not hall effect and we get drift (even tho I am sure they would give us better access to the sticks and we could map a custom dead zone to fix it) I would be upset.

HorreC,

never mind I just saw in the buying text (not the specs area) ‘hall sticks’. Sorry for being a dolt.
