Emulator gaming

[KleinBoontjie]

Soon I'll be able to actually dump my PS3 for full time emulation. Esp seeing that some games look and even play better than og hardware

I'd like it if most of the exclusives will work. I recently got Red Dead to work on RPCS3, few stutters, here and there, but playable.

I also have a Pi 2, with Batocera. I took the September school holiday off to look after my daughter, ended up playing Xain'd Sleena and Rygar a good couple of hours every day. Blast from the past. Used to rob my father blind of all his 20c's, to play this games in the 80's.
Also played some C64 games from my childhood, Druid and Jet Set Willy being my favorite. N64, SNES, Dreamcast and PS1 also works great.
Definitely want to get a Nuc to upgrade the experience. Get some more/heavier emulation going.

Got an RG351 popped on 351Elect with over 10 000 retro games....

Any other local shops selling these? Retrogames are out of stock on everything I'm looking for.

Or any other decent handheld with emulators?

Depends on cost ie: shipping method.

Free (3 months to Never)
Midrange (1-2 Weeks)
DHL (1 week) <-- expensive

With the DHL shipping, does it still go to customs for clearance first?

Yes and gets loaded with 25% import tax, cause you know its a luxury item

After the holidays you welcome to buy a RG351M if you still looking. Cant do it before as I need something to keep me occupied when visiting the in-laws

I'm specifically looking for something with a 4:3 screen. This place still have stock of the M and P, but both are 3:2 screens.

Anbernic RG351MP

The RG351M improves on the RG351P with a metallic case and built in WiFi module. It comes with a 3.5" IPS screen and a resolution of 320x480 pixels.

retrogames.co.za

is 4:3

And I would say your best option if you ask me.

Yes, the MP is 4:3, but it's R1000 more than the V, for exactly the same specs, just a different form factor.

The M and P are both 3:2 with a lower resolution screen as well.

Also looking at the Retroid Pocket 2, but also can't seem to find stock locally. You would think with Xmas around the corner, that it wouldn't be that difficult to get.

This maybe a bit off topic re the kind of emulation we are discussing here but I quite like the ease and simplicity of plugging in a Pandora box - great for the kids as well.

I am looking for a particular one - Pandora's Games 3D

Seems to be the best one out of them - does anybody have any experience with these and know of a decent local reseller without me having to resort to buying this myself from Aliexpress?

I got to this conclusion because of a comparison he did amongst all of them.

Pretty nice build engine emulator with shadow warriors support

Otherwise I have been messing round with 86box. But you need fairly decent pc to emulate another pc at 100% cpu speeds; so aim of 86box is machine as-is emulation and not just dos as with dosbox.
