Best Retro Handheld

I've ordered the Xbox Ally X this morning and will be loading it up with a full compliment of retro catalogues.

Absolute overkill and won't do much different from my steam deck in terms of retro but will share detail in here if people are interested.

I've never even heard of an Xbox Ally. Is this the same / similar to ROG Ally X - https://rog.asus.com/gaming-handhelds/rog-ally/rog-ally-x-2024/

Is this the only difference 'Complete with impulse triggers for enhanced control.' - https://www.xbox.com/en-GB/handhelds/rog-xbox-ally

Are no it seems to be AMD Zen 5 and slightly different GPU and CPU clocks - https://retrocatalog.com/compare/rog-xbox-ally-x/rog-ally-x

Yeah it's a new XBox branded ROG basically. With a Zen 2 Extreme and some rumbly triggers.

Should be a decent upgrade over the Steam Deck.

I'm guessing the blue and white lines aren't normal? Any idea how to resolve these? Also noticed some other artefacts . Emulator is M64plus fz

Update: Resolved this by choosing another emulation profile for the game, although the clarity/detail of textures are not as good in this profile.

Having a bit of trouble booting into sega cd games from the consoles section. I can get it to work from retroarch and selecting a different core. Is there anyway to change that to the default sega cd core? Also getting a "bios not found" on PSX games, though they are playing okay. Pretty sure I have all the bios that came with tiny best set in my bios folder!

90% chance it’ll be poor bios/roms. Best tiny set should be rebranded ‘terrible set’

Have a read of this and get the correct files :)
