/v/ - Video Games

Wholly depends of your budget and what kind of games you're looking for.

Quentin pls

>>15302489

Well what do you recommend? Or maybe, what do YOU personally use? My preferences are:

- preferably fits in pocket

- not too high of a price

- does not need the newest games, or any specific genres (I like all types of games)

- active online would be cool

psp emulates pretty much everything before it except the big consoles and ds (ds is work in progress)

>>15302495

I dont recommend putting electronic devices in jean pockets, if that's what you're talking about, since they're likely to wear down and break that way. Handhelds fit fine inside small shoulder bags and the likes tho

I personally use a DS Lite (with a r4 card) and a hacked Vita (Slim & Fat model both). PSPs used to be pretty strong candidates but the Vita is slowly starting to replace it thanks to the hack that affect firmwares between 3.60 up to the current 3.68.

>- does not need the newest games, or any specific genres (I like all types of games)

Vita might be a pretty good choice for you, with its rather good diverse library of niche stuff + PSP/PS1 digital retro-compatibility. 3DS is an alternative if you want Nintendo first-party + Atlus/Capcom/Squeenix titles but dont ask me much about piracy on this one because I ended up selling mine due of disappointment

>active online would be cool

I recall Dragon's Crown and the nip version of EDF2 and Gundam Breaker 3 still having a good amount of players last month on Vita. Cant say about other online games since i rather focus on singleplayer ones in general, and I know some of the Sony first-party titles got their servers shut down (Everybody's Golf 6 and Wipeout 2048)

>>15302573

Thanks.

What was the reason the 3DS was a disappointment?

What games would you recommend for the Vita? (Or the 3DS, if you liked any…)

ive never had one but i remember psvita was super popular on /v/ for a while. i think it can emulate the hell out of stuff too if that tickles your fancy.

>>15302640

you gotta have some pretty tremendous pockets

>>15302437

none of them you gay manchild

>>15302437

PSP no doubt.

>cheap

>easy to install CFW

>relatively small

>good battery life

>huge library

>homebrews

>lots of emulators

>natively runs PS1 games

>>15302812

Yeah, there are even some neat programs you can run, making the thing practically a PDA. I'm not sure I'd call it pocket-sized though, it's kinda dumpy.

>>15302948

A PSP Go then maybe. It's way smaller, but I never had one so I can't tell if it's any good.

>>15303419

Meant to add that the layout seemed a bit fucky to me.

you could always just masturbate

>>15303509

Truly you are the savior of /v/ quentin.

>>15303509

>3rd pic

Is that a new one? I thought Quentin disappeared after the school shooting thing.

>>15303892

all of them are at least 2.5 years old (saved them in April 2016)

>>15303509

Wasn't there some edit of 1st pic where 3ds and reading in public were switched places?

>>15304030

That's weird. I think I've seen the rest of those images but never that one. I guess it isn't posted as much then.

>>15303976

i want to go cave exploring in mulbruk

>>15302735

>SMT on 3DS

>Good

You also forgot EO and MH on the system.

Gameboy advance

DS

PSP

Vita

N3DS/N2DS XL (make sure this and Vita are hacked)

those are good, but the former 3 have the best portability, latter 2 are good because they can emulate the former 3 quite well (perfectly in some cases) while having other features such as analog pads/sticks and better screens/resolution and their own libraries

A hacked 3DS can also play DS games (via flashcart) and GBA games via Virtual Console Injects

A hacked PS Vita can also play PS1 and PSP games

They both have decent emulators as well, so any of those could be a nice buy I have both

>>15308731

I wouldn't classify DeSu and SH as SMT games per se since they're spin-offs like Persona but yeah they're good.

3ds for emulators and portable joystick. PSP for phone replacement and typing. Both are botnet hardware wide but with CFW you will get more battery life out of the 3ds in the future if you install gentoo vs installing gentoo on PSP. But the 3ds can play PS1 games while the PSP can't play 3ds games. So really it comes down to exclusives to 3ds/PSP and battery life. For hardware durability I simply don't know.

>>15302437

A hacked PSP can emulate damn near everything. I fly a lot and bring mine to play PS1 games.

Just get one of those telescopic phone controllers and you have a makeshift psp with far better hardware

>>15302557

Isn't DS emulation PSP abandonware?

>>15308923

>far better hardware

nigger modern phones are more expensive than consoles and are the same prices as laptops at this point

DS lite with flashcart

or PSP

or Nintendo 3ds original model, new 3ds regular model (pretty much Japan only, but if you import you can bypass the region lock with CFW) or New 2ds (other 3ds models won't fit in your pocket very easily)

>DS Lite

Don't fucking do this, it has the shittiest d-pad and buttons in history. If anyone suggests getting one, you can tell that they're a gigantic pleb that don't care in the slightest about the single fucking most important aspect of a game, that being your ability to interact with it. The Lite is so incredibly shitty that it makes some games practically unplayable (anything that requires diagonals, pretty much). I can easily breeze through a section of a game on another DS flawlessly yet not even manage to clear it on a Lite. The controls are just utterly, objectively awful.

Just buy a fucking netbook that's powerful enough to play pirated gog old games you niggers.

>>15310875

kys pcuck, this is a handheld thread not a man purse thread.

>>15310939

Or you could just play planescape and baldurs gate on android.

I got a pink old 3ds, then added a fucking rubber/silicon "comfort" "case" (pink too, it must match) to avoid hand cramps all the time on the thing, and it made the thing unpocketable, so I always have it on my backpack but almost never use it on the bus to and from work, it's always a bumpy and crowded ride here in the third world, though when possible I do play a round or two of GB tetris or Puyo Puyo Tetris.

I still do get hand cramps

I could whip it out while on lunch at work since the other guys are playing shitty moba phone games or watching netflix, and are cool about vidya but meh prefer to go under the radar to .everyone else.

>>15310965

>playing autism simulators instead of good games

that's pathetic. Get a PSP and enjoy good games instead.

PSVita still the best

VITA

>tfw playing AM2R port and got the Ice Beam but the Serris fight is bugged and can't progress without doing a tricky out of bounds glitch to skip it

>>15311420

the question is what do you want to emulate

PSP can't do SNES very well but 3DS can, whereas PSP does PSX much much better

both can emulate GBA pretty well but 3ds is better

>>15311440

I was thinking I'd shell out and get something that could just do a little of everything. My friend bought me a raspberry pi and I heard those things could be made portable so maybe I should look into that.

Psp is my go to portable device. 3ds if you can hack it is better, but its a little more tricky and expensive.

Hacked OLED Vita a best. I'm not sure if its as good at emulation as the PSP is, though. It would be weird if it wasn't.

>>15311504

i think ur just gay

>>15311579

He's from the smartphone generation. Too weak from all the soy he drinks to carry anything but a phone.

>>15311600

nah man i had my days with a custom firmware psp, i still have 3 of them laying around, you couldn't pay me to go back to those dark ages

if you dont got a smartphone, get a PSP (3000 is easiest to hack without physical modifications)

Get a fuckin turbo duo and a generator and a tv and dare anyone to question you on the bus

Honestly, for overall possibilities and build quality, get an OLED Vita. With the current homebrew on it and using an SD card adapter you can play a ridiculous amount of stuff with it. I'm currently playing through Sly and Ratchet games on it since I missed them out on PS2.

>>15311494

drastic runs fine on a phone, but it's doubtful the screen will be big enough to actually use, I dropped like 8 hours into strange journey and still no good.

It does work well with gb through gba, even SNES.

>>15311504

don't need a controller if you're using something like a jRPG, and it's safe to assume that a fair amount of people already have their good goy IDs on them anyway.

PSP for sure

if you can be bothered hacking go new 3DS or 2DS because it runs everything and the old 3DS is fragile, blocky chinkshit

>>15312112

and if you can put up with 200p, which I cant.

my 3DS collects dust. literally my non-hacked vita gets more usage

>>15311407

>you can resell it quickly for a fair price, unlike those chink phone controllers nobody is looking for.

Maybe, but the DS4 costs as much as an iPega.

>>15316381

Crap, I accidentally a word. Was going to say it costs TWICE as much as an iPega.

I wanted one of those GPG's but windows 10. Would have been neat to have a portable emulator.

>smallest

GBA Micro with flashcart.

>>15302437

Sort of related, I have an original GBA that uses AAs. Are there any good 3rd party rechargeable battery packs for it to make it rechargeable like later Nintendo consoles, or do I just get rechargeable AAs? (I have an SP as well, but I like the wider layout of the original.)

>>15316465

I don't have 800 for a GPD Win 2

That depends. You can't go wrong with 3DS since you get DS and GBA with it, plus some emulation options for NES/SNES. Vita is also a decent option if its main library appeals to you, with PSP and some PS1 games and some SNES and GBA. Both need to be softmodded to get maximum power, and in the case of Vita it is damn near mandatory just to use standard SD cards.
