A few months ago, some Retroid Pocket Mini users began reporting issues with the Mini's display. Apparently, when using high density CRT shaders, content was not reflecting the advertised 1280x960 resolution of the 3.7" AMOLED panel. Instead, people were seeing an effective vertical resolution...

SBC Gaming @lemmy.ml Shatur @lemmy.ml Investigating the Retroid Pocket Mini's Display
bitbuilt.net Discussion - Investigating the Retroid Pocket Mini's DisplayFascinating work done by a community member, which strongly suggests that the Retroid Pocket Mini may in fact just be a 3.92" 1080x1240 AMOLED panel (same as in upcoming RP Classic) but with part of the panel hidden to achieve a 4:3 aspect ratio.

SBC Gaming @lemmy.ml Shatur @lemmy.ml Retroid Pocket Mini received an update for Android 13
I was hoping this update would enable pure black mode (which looks awesome on the borderless display of the black model). But it turns out that feature was added in Android 14 😢
I really wish retro handhelds were supported by FOSS Android distros like LineageOS.
Still, I'm quite happy with the update. This time I decided to try Molla launcher and ES-DE 🙂

SBC Gaming @lemmy.ml Shatur @lemmy.ml Modded my RP Mini with PlayStation buttons
I used buttons for the Odin 2 Mini from SakuraRetroModding on Etsy. They fit without any modifications, except that the original buttons are glued to the membrane. Thankfully, it's easy to unglue them by cutting through the glue with nails.
Here is how the unglue process looks like. The video is for RP5, but the approach is the same for the Mini.
The new buttons are quieter, have a lower profile, and feel similar to an Xbox controller overall. I'm really happy with the mod!
freshingly good
AYANEO is making another Android-based gaming handheld – but this one has a trick up its sleeve. The Pocket EVO is the world's first Android handheld with a 7-inch 120Hz OLED screen, according to the manufacturer. That high refresh rate should mean smoother gameplay, assuming there are enough titles to support it.
Based on the design of the AYANEO 2S, the Pocket EVO boasts a Qualcomm Snapdragon G3x Gen 2 chipset, which will ensure it has plenty of grunt for AAA mobile gaming and emulation.

SBC Gaming @lemmy.ml Skyline969 @lemmy.ca I created a toggle for the power LED on MinUI for the RG35XXSP
github.com GitHub - Skyline969/MinUI_RG35XXSP_LED_Toggle: A toggle for the power LED on MinUI for the RG35XXSPA toggle for the power LED on MinUI for the RG35XXSP - Skyline969/MinUI_RG35XXSP_LED_Toggle
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ca/post/23871363
I absolutely love MinUI on my RG35XXSP, but I hated that it turned the power LED off. Initially I tried to fiddle with just disabling the part of the MinUI boot that turned off the LED, but then I realized that putting the console to sleep and turning it back on disabled the LED anyway. That was baked into the OS, and I didn’t want to recompile the whole thing just to disable that.
Enter this tool. It contains a script that gets set to run during boot to turn on the power LED and keep it on. It can also undo all of its changes by running the tool again. Since it does modify system files, I also figured out how to recover from any potential issues. I was unable to cause any significant issues during my testing, but the recovery plan is there nonetheless. Full documentation is available on the repo.
Let there be light!

SBC Gaming @lemmy.ml good_hunter @lemmy.world sunset inside a Castle(venia)
I only got to know about these remarkable handhelds a couple of weeks ago and couldn’t resist getting a rg35xx h. It arrived just in time for our summer holiday family trip. Tonight we are staying in a 14th century castle in the Eiffel region, and here I am getting to know Rondo of Blood for the first time. Man, this pretty insane.

SBC Gaming @lemmy.ml Corroded @leminal.space Has anyone been able to get Stardew Valley working on the RG35XXSP?
I followed the guides that are out there that basically say the following.
- Install Port Master and the Stardew Valley port though the app
- In Steam right click on Stardew Valley and go to properties followed by Betas and select compatibility - For 32-bit systems. The legacy XNA version of Stardew Valley. Wait for it to update.
- Transfer the game's files into ports/stardewvalley/game data
But every time I attempt to launch it goes to a black screen then back to the lists of ports. I am not sure if this is because I am running KNULLI. When I was searching for this online people seem to be running muOS.
I've been able to get Half Life to launch so I'm not sure what's going on here. I would appreciate some advice.
I might try the other compatibility option for Stardew Valley which is the legacy option for 1.5.6 but I don't think that will do anything either.
The TL:DR of my edits is I still haven't gotten it to work. Once I saw that it worked in muOS I started look

SBC Gaming @lemmy.ml RPiRadioGuy @lemmy.world Favorite Micro Sd Card Brands
Hello all! Seems like micro sd card prices have been floating up slowly all year. Usually pick up a Samsung pro plus or a sandisk extreme card once Anbernic, Ayn Miyoo etc release a new internesting handheld. Unfortunately, prices have gotten a bit steep for storage. Instead, been trying out other brands as they seem to be priced more competitively (Amazon US anyway). Curious what everyone’s current go to is?
Latest card, been working fine in the RG556 with Silent Hill 3. Appears to be a rebranded Samsung card as the write speeds are higher using a reader included with a Pro plus card. Priced $34.99 on Amazon us so not bad at all.
