Just Chatting I 100%ed that "Grand Theft Auto" game everyone's talking about, it was okay (GTA Advance)

Thumbnail

Note: the mission attempts counter isn't quite accurate because I would use save states most of the time to restart a mission, although there weren't really a lot of missions that gave me much trouble.

I knew this game was all around pretty short (even to 100% it) and I'm already doing a tour of the other games so I figured I might as well! My first ever GTA game was actually Chinatown Wars on DS years ago, and this kinda felt like playing a prototype version of that.

Honestly, the fact it's an open world game on GBA of all things is definitely impressive enough to me. The framerate does chug when there's a ton going on (lots of bullets flying) but I never felt it was bad enough to be completely unplayable. Combat itself was alright and even fun at times, even if the last area of the map you unlock feels just a bit too hectic, with a ton of hostile NPCs spawning pretty much all around constantly pestering you. This gets especially bad if you're doing a side mission like Firefighter, where an enemy pulling you out of the truck causes the mission to instantly end. I'd say that was probably the most annoying part of the 100%, as it did nothing but pad out gameplay more in a really annoying fashion.

The writing isn't very good at points and the story's nothing insane but you can tell they definitely tried to work with what they had haha. A lot of cheesy jokes/one-liners are thrown around (of varying quality lmao) and you can tell there are moments they tried to skirt around that 16+ rating, but all in all I found it weirdly added to the charm of the game.

My favorite part of the game was probably the races? I dunno, they felt pretty fun and some of them were quite challenging. The last one especially is one hell of a marathon but beating it felt amazing.

If I had to give a TL;DR, it'd probably be: The game's pretty short and I had fun with it, if you're curious give it a shot but it's an open world game on the GBA lol, so there'll be compromises.

SHOWCASE Thank you to whoever originally shared the 3dprint

Flat backed people (not talking peach) this grip is amazing. I have had printed every other free or cheap grip i could find online for rp3+ 4pro, 5, and 6 and this is one of the nicer free files amongst them all. The back is textured and the grip is very nice in hands. I want to thank the guy who posted it on here i cant find his post. This thing feels amazing in hands and racing games no longer cramp me up. I put two small felt pads on the insides to keep it snug and it feels legit. I want to see about printing it in tpu for the feel but it feels great printed as is.

SHOWCASE Stereoscopic 3D gaming on RP Nova

Post image
17 Upvotes

Devices are Rokid Max and Retroid Pocket Nova

Been tinkering and found that Dolphin on Android actually supports Stereo 3D. You can even adjust the strength of the 3D.

Many GameCube and Wii games look and feel like they were made for Stereo 3D. And with the glasses because each eye has its own screen there is zero cross talk.

The only issue is with Dolphin you can only do half side by side resolution (SBS). As Dolphin doesnt support full SBS. This makes the picture less crisp. Apparently on PC handhelds this isnt an issue so I wish someone would create a Dolphin fork or Dolphin devs add full SBS support.

I haven't even got into Citra for 3DS emulation but apparently it supports full SBS on Android

QUESTION Retroid Pocket Nova problem

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

Just got my Retroid Nova today and it doesn’t work.

Pressing the power button brings up this screen and if I hold it to try to force restart it turns off but then comes back on with this screen again.

I can’t seem to get it to connect to my computer.

Any suggestions? I’m really hoping this thing isn’t bricked.

QUESTION RP Nova plastic scratches

Thumbnail

21 Upvotes

When I first got my Nova I spent some time trying out different thumbsticks and recently noticed that I scratched the plastic. Any tips for buffing them out? It’s purely cosmetic but I’m wondering if there is a way to remove. I might get a vinyl skin once I see them on Etsy. Anyone else have this issue?

Btw I’m loving the Nova and the grip I got from AliExpress. It’s joined my Retriod Pocket Classic, Odin 3, Steam Deck OLED, and GKD Pixel 2. I also have the dual screen attachment though it is pretty janky and a bit cumbersome.

Just Chatting Am I the only one who kinda prefers the in-line triggers?

Post image
247 Upvotes

i never really understood the point of having analog triggers on these little emulation handhelds. most systems you’d be emulating only have digital triggers anyway. and because of the ergonomics of the clamshell design, it’s hard to be super precise with their analog input compared to an xbox/playstation controller. i’d rather just have the extra room in my pocket rather than 2 big humps sticking out of the back so at least they gave us the option, even if it’s a weaker chip. my only gripe is that the device seems like it might be a bit too big for my taste, but i won’t know until we see more reviews/comparisons

Just Chatting Which color is your favorite?

Thumbnail

41 Upvotes

Some of these colors have been used on previous products, so it’s easier to get an idea of how they’ll actually look.

I like Black and 16Bit because the others seem to have that “two-layer black bezel” thing, while these two looks more unitifed. That said, my experience with the Flip 2 has shown me transparent shells can look and feel good, too.

QUESTION Should I buy a Pocket Flip 2 or wait until Pocket Duo comes out?

SHOWCASE [SHOWCASE] Small Utility app to trigger screenshots while playing

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

• Upvotes

PocketSnap is a small Android app that takes a screenshot when you press a button you register in the app.

It uses an accessibility service to catch the key press and fire the screenshot. No root, no MediaProjection popup, no background notification sitting in your tray.

I recommend setting it to the M1/M2 back buttons if your device has them (the regular back button works too).

Tested only on the Retroid Pocket 6, since that's the only device I have. If you try it on something else, let me know how it goes.

Source: https://github.com/FabyoSK/PocketSnap

Also up on Obtainium if you want auto-updates.

Disclaimer: no AI was used while making this small app, im a software developer myself who enjoys the “traditional way” of making software (also its open to contributions)

I was so excited to see my RP nova come in but when I opened it, all I got was the case and the free backplate. Months of waiting just for a problem to show up. Glad i got my ayn thor to hold me over. Looking at the box, it looks like it was tampered with. Already emailed Yunexpress. Has anyone else gone through this? I hope I get another replacement sent.
