Emulation Handheld?


Recommended Posts

I was umming and ahhing over getting a 3DS and after looking at the calibre of games compared with cost I decided against it.

I have a PS3 for the latest titles and I was looking for something I can use to play games from my childhood, which imo was the golden age of video games 80s/90s.

I want something I can play games from gameboy all the way up to n64, I looked at getting a PSP but it struggles with n64 games, there are a few chinese/korean handhelds such as the Cannoo, Wiz, etc.. but I want something a bit more powerful than the generic 500-600Mhz ARM cpus that power most of these handhelds.

I did also look into playing them on my phone but I spent a good 3 hours trying to get my dual shock 3 pad paired with my phone but it was a pain and using my phone isnt very useful as the battery life drops dramatically and theres no way to comfortably put the phone and use joypad to control.

Whichever device needs to have the power to play n64/ps1 games, I don't want to spend any more than ?150/200 for a really good device.

Does anyone have any devices or any ideas as to which device would be best?

Just to add, it doesnt need to be android, I don't care which OS it runs.

I don't think the Wiz is available for sale anymore, and it had problems with screen tearing. Also, I'm quite wary of anything by GPH. GP32 lasted 4 years, GP2X lasted 2 years, and the Wiz lasted 1 year. The Canoo might be running a bit longer than that, but just by the time dev support really picks up, they axe their old model and release a new one.

    • >defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool It is not. It is the inhuman artist replacement. The human writing the prompt is the employer/manager requesting the work product of the artist -- a supervisory/descriptive job that doesn't carry with it any rights to the copyright of that work product at all. And since AI is not human itself, it can't gain copyright for anything it is asked to regurgitate or hallucinate, so it can't transfer that copyright to the employer/manager/human who asked for the output. This was all legally reaffirmed last year. So, no, while there are AI tools, AI slopware generation is NOT a "tool" in the legal definition of that word.

    • Google is opening the world's first AI museum in Los Angeles by Ivan Jenic Image via: Google Ever since AI image generators went mainstream, the debate over whether AI-generated art is real art hasn't let up. Those who don’t consider AI to be art say that if a machine does the creating and anyone can prompt it, there’s no skill involved, and therefore no art is produced. The counter-argument is equally persistent, as defenders of AI-generated artworks often claim that AI is just a tool, and that every major technological breakthrough, like the camera or the computer, was met with the same skepticism before eventually being accepted as a legitimate creative medium. Google’s position in this debate is clear. Which is no surprise, as the company is investing billions in AI infrastructure. And now, in efforts to encourage people to use its AI even more, Google is opening Dataland on June 20, which it's calling the world's first AI arts museum. Located inside The Grand LA, a Frank Gehry-designed building in Los Angeles, the museum spans 25,000 square feet. The museum is built around a collaboration with media artist Refik Anadol, who has worked with Google since 2016. The inaugural exhibition is called Machine Dreams: Rainforest, and is powered by an AI model trained on “an extensive dataset of the natural world.” It generates 1.2 billion pixels of visuals in real time and reacts to visitors dynamically. The space also generates soundscapes, real-time emotion sensing, and algorithmically produced scents. Image via: Refik Anadol Studio / Google Google says that the museum is powered by its Gemini models, which run on Google Cloud. So, everything is generated inside one of Google’s AI data centers and is streamed to the museum. Alongside the museum opening, Google Arts & Culture is funding an AI Artist Residency, giving four artists $25,000 grants each, along with mentorship from Refik Anadol Studio and access to Google's machine learning tools. Their work will be shown at Dataland and on the Google Arts & Culture website later this year. Google’s AI museum will undoubtedly initiate a fired-up debate on social media, and we can’t wait to see the first reactions. Via: Smithsonian Magazine
    • Calling GTA 6 overhyped crap doesn’t make you edgy, it just makes you sound like someone who hasn’t enjoyed anything since the PS2 era.
    • I’m not arguing whether Rockstar likes money. Obviously, they do, they’re a business. I’m saying this isn’t new. They’ve always launched console first. This is just how Rockstar operates.
