    Ahh okay, I read that as knackering them rather than it just discharging quickly. I wouldn't mind 10% a day, the Anbernic devices do that an hour.

    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    If you have a compatible Sky dish you can buy a Freesat box for TV. They are a bit pricey since they only have one manufacturer of the boxes unlike Freeview but don't need an aeriel and it's a one time cost but 2 or 3 months of your Sky sub and it would be paid off. Obviously it's a limited...

    Yes I was wondering about Onion OS as it seems like a lot if work has gone into that. The recent vid from Retro Game Corps on the 4.3 release was very interesting and made me keen to try the Miyoo. Garlic on the OG RG35XX was good but still needed work and it's a shame development stopped so he...

    I did a bit of this with my Samsung tablet and Bluetooth controller, was pretty powerful and ran Burnout very well.

    They need to boot quick since none of them know how to go into power save mode that isn't just turning off the screen :) Just messing. I'd be keen to know if it works properly in Onion OS?

    So now I'm thinking about the Retroid Pocket 2S... :) Been around a bit I know but I play mainly 16 bit era and below and is decent spec so that's fine, and dpad is above the stick so that's another tick and is horizontal so for me that's more comfortable. It's small and portable, not a big...

    Showing as 43 now, might have a look at the start of next month when the extra offers kick in. Keen to give onion a try, looks like a decent OS.

    So I decided to return the RGB30, the screen is lovely but the cheap build quality, poor dpad & buttons and lack of ergonomics and overall larger size made me feel it wasn't worth keeping. Still undecided on the RG35XX H as controls are nice and it is small so is easy to carry about and slip...

    *** Sky TV Cancellation & Negotiation Thread ***

    I didn't get anything in the cancellation period barring a generic text if I recall correctly. Since I left I had a couple of calls and a bunch of stuff through the post. Decent discounts but sick of Sky and their price rises and charging for stuff which should be standard like HD. Even if it...

    Will we ever get a rival to the PC?

    I had a Lumia, lovely hardware and the OS was good, just had bugger all apps.

    5... Odin 2, RG35XX, RG35XX H, RGB30 and the RG 300X. The 300X is crap, knew instantly I would be returning that. The original RG35XX is good but I prefer horizontal devices, hence the RGB30 and H. I won't keep both, will have a play this week and decide and return the other. The Odin 2 is...

    I think I have a problem, I can't stop buying handhelds... :D

    Probably been said a hundred times on this thread but the stock SD cards are junk usually so step 1 is to use a decent, branded one.

    Signed up for the Emulation Station patreon so I could try the Android version on my Odin 2. Seems pretty good so far, only had time for a quick blast on Mega Drive but I do really like the interface and worked fine as I had Retro Arch set up already. Loaded my save file and cheats off the bat...

    What retro things have you done today?

    I have some fond memories of DOS gaming but only when I filter out the nightmare of boot disks, ems/xms memory, sound card/game port issues and the like... And these were the days when there was no Internet to Google how to do everything. I pretty much ruined our 486 and needed Amstrad to...

    I just signed up for their Patreon, I haven't hit the limit but it's so good it's worth £1 a month to support them.

    Best Retro Handheld

    First impressions of the RGB30 are very positive, plastic is okay feeling, bit cheap but have to remember the price point. A grippier or textured back would have been nice, or ideally a bit of shape so it sat better in the hand. If I'd paid around 90 quid which it was originally selling for...

    Do you have the original RG35XX, ie not the plus or 2024 model? Retro Game Corp had a decent YouTube step by step guide which iirc was what I used.

    Cheers matey. I like the tinkering aspect, I end up doing that more than playing games half the time :) I tend to stick to 16 bit era for these sorts of devices but I have my Odin2 for anything that needs a bit more oomph.

    I really like Batocera, how does it perform on the H @rp2000? Ive only used it on the pi5 and mini PCs previously.
