Rooty, do games w My AYN Thor

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.

Hol up, DS is now old enough to be considered retro‽

Why does my back hurt so much? Unrelated I’m sure.

Rooty,

Better lie down for this fact: 3DS is considered retro.

Goodlucksil,

2011 is not retro, dammit!

Rooty, (edited )

14 years ago, man.

Edit: I fogor how to count

Was N64 retro in 2010?

PonyOfWar,

Yeah. I mean Crysis had been out for 3 years already. N64 graphics seemed ancient at that point.

Colalextrast,

Bruh. The GameCube was practically retro in 2010

Goodlucksil,

Who said that?

angstylittlecatboy,

Yes. I very much remember it being uncontroversial to call the N64 retro in 2010.

mnemonicmonkeys,

The original DS released almost 21 years ago. Because of that, the patent is now in the public domain, hence why products like this can be sold now

I wish it (or something similar) had a cellular modem for calls/sms. I would love to replace my phone with something like this, even if it’s a bit large

Bane_Killgrind,

Relegate all the telephony stuff to a smartwatch/earbuds pair and that would be great.

Goodlucksil,

…That’s an N-Gage.

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.

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!

The fuck is Lake Isabella and why is this written like an ad? This might make sense if you were writing about the setting of a famous or popular game, but even then it would be a stretch.

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.

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.

Glad you found the info!

For a handy stats sheet, this was included too:

Rhynoplaz, do games w What’s your favorite mission in Red Dead Redemption—and why does it hit different?

It’s been too long since I played the first game, but in 2, you try to go straight and live the simple farm life and it’s such a boring part of the game. Typically that’s a bad thing, but I loved how it simulated that itch for chaos. As a player, you’re thinking the same thing as the character. “Not long ago, I was riding around shooting people and making tons of money, and now I’m shoveling shit for pennies a day.” When the mission comes to go back to your roots and raise some hell, you know you shouldn’t, but damn does it feel good to get back to doing what you love.
