3DS is retro now. I am finally a boomer.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Retro as in retro gaming I assume. It's good for emulation and you can comfortably play DS games on it too.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I think it’s more that it’s an excellent emulation device.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

I mean, it’s a pretty solid 8 and 16 bit emulation device and can natively play GBA and NDS games. What’s not to like?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

It’s in quotes in the title. And the second is a hardware emulator. They’re all for emulation.

put it this way, it's the new nintendo 3ds. it can't ever be retro; it's the new version

I have a lot of questions.

Number one, how dare you?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Number two, what is that gameboy build? Looks slick as hell.

I'm pretty sure it's an Anbernic RG35XX

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

$55? Pretty acceptable to me. I'm in love with that bezeless screen

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

That's either a Miyoo Mini Plus or an Anbernic RG5XX. And if I'm not mistaken, it's the latter.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Sure, retro - if you're 12 😃

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've got GC, Wii and WiiU covered by a soft modded WiiU.

PSP and Vita with a modded Vita.

And a modded New 3DSXL for all the portable nintendo platforms.

Everything else I do on my PC.

Retro mouse and keyboard?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Slick AF, I love it!

The 3DS is such an amazing emulation device. I love it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

What are the two on the left?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (2 children)

The two gaming systems? They're a "New" 3DS and an Anbernic RG35XX.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

How do you like the Anbernic? What made you choose that over the Miyoo Mini Plus? if you don’t mind me asking.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks! Can’t believe I didn’t recognize the 3ds….. 🤦‍♂️ How do you like the Anbernic RG35XX??

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I love it. Its build quality is fantastic and it's very comfortable. And using GarlicOS makes it perfect.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

The 3DS was a beauty. Also the thumb stick had the best feel to it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

You like your Abernic? I’m thinking about getting an RG353V

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh yeah I love it. Very, very impressed with how great the build quality is for a device this price.

Yeah, it's nice. I've had it 2 years now. It's sturdy, hasn't broken yet. I'm not feeling the need to upgrade yet. If I was buying new, I'd get something newer. I was considering a GPD Win Mini, but $1000 is a lot and GPD has so many QA issues,

Thanks, looks pretty cool. Maybe in the 75 form factor for me.
