Back in 2003, Nintendo couldn't figure out how to add a headphone jack to the GBA SP. I guess we needed to wait 21 more years for that!
@ozmaphase2 Ай бұрын
This thing seems pretty awesome, and despite having almost every console everyone releases, I obviously must have this as well. Now I want them to recreate a 3DS, and DS. That’s what we all really want. I think.
@Restalgia Ай бұрын
I woukd absolutely love them to release a high powered dual screen device. That would be awesomeness 👌
@ExiledRetro Ай бұрын
Im guessing by the term "Really want" you mean the aya neo flip ds. Just curious.
@wildercerrate7295 Ай бұрын
There is a high powered 3Ds 2 screen style device but it’s like gigantic. I think within the decade we should have those style devices in really small form factors.
@ozmaphase2 Ай бұрын
@@wildercerrate7295 yeah, I was initially very excited about that device, but it’s fairly costly and the 3DS emulation scene simultaneously went bad for a bit there, and I figured Anbernic would jump in and make one soon. Hopefully.

A few things that have me worried ... Battery right near the CPU. Not a recipe for longevity. Also I'm concerned about the hinge. Wondering how long before that one gives out. I really want to pick this up, but I think the smart money is on taking a wait and see approach for a few months .... Finding out of it has any quirks.

true, the last clamshell retroid pocket flip had problems with the hinge but we'll see

Own an original GBA SP AGS101, I LOVE this form factor, but having the original working and doubting because of the noisy and lousy controls... I may wait for a revision, also it has a way high price for being an RG55xx, and I feel the RG55x and RG55xx Plus are better done consoles overall, specially on the DPAD and buttons.

I havent seen his video, but the CPU doesn't have any passive cooling at all, throwing a copper heat sink or something like that couldn't hurt, and probably would protect the battery as well.

19:30 It's not like owners of the original GameBoy were lining up to "upgrade" to the Gameboy Pocket edition either. You had a GBA that played GBA games, so why upgrade to SP? This was the norm for my friend groups back then too. I never had an original Gameboy. My personal Nintendo handheld evolution was GBC -> GBA SP -> DS Original -> 2DS Original (flat & ugly edition)

Yep, I went from gb pocket >gbc > gba > ds > 3ds >new ds.

Despite being born in the 90s, I didn't get my first handheld console until the SP. Eventually got a PSP, and finally a 3DS and N3DSXL. I love that the SP and 3DS are fully backwards compatible with the Nintendo handhelds I missed out on (GB, GBC and DS).
@legitchrisv Ай бұрын
is it possible to map the C stick in N64 to a hotkey combo, so like R2 + X for up, R2 + Y for left, R2 + A for right and R2 + B for down? So you would have a fake 2nd analog stick essentially 😮
@Eragonfrost Ай бұрын
C Buttons in N64 are already mapped to R2 so if you want to press C-Up it’s R2+X button if I’m not mistaken

It's very cool and pretty close, but perfect is a big statement. In order for it to really be perfect I would want it to be as slim as the original gba sp, and have slightly offset face buttons like the rg300x so you can actually use a and b to play gba platformers

@@AishTalksTech whoa seriously? I never went as high as 8 hours at all. Did you power down completely between play sessions? Or did you just marathon it? Maybe it's because I played for a few hours, then closed up, then opened and play for a couple more.
