Favorite Micro Sd Card Brands (lemmy.world)

Hello all! Seems like micro sd card prices have been floating up slowly all year. Usually pick up a Samsung pro plus or a sandisk extreme card once Anbernic, Ayn Miyoo etc release a new internesting handheld. Unfortunately, prices have gotten a bit steep for storage. Instead, been trying out other brands as they seem to be priced more competitively (Amazon US anyway). Curious what everyone’s current go to is?

Latest card, been working fine in the RG556 with Silent Hill 3. Appears to be a rebranded Samsung card as the write speeds are higher using a reader included with a Pro plus card. Priced $34.99 on Amazon us so not bad at all.

As Sramder mentioned, something like the rg556 (oled and the black levels make reading text against dark backgrounds much easier) or the Odin 2 (good quality ips and little bigger with a 6 inch screen). Other options would be something like the logitech g cloud (weak soc limiting systems, 7 inch screen).

Overall the rg556 is a great overall device with built in controls. Think the screen from an iPhone 14 turned landscape, about half an inch less wide and just a hair taller. Gives you a ballpark idea of size anyway. Hope that helps!

Good Day Everyone!

Anbernic’s latest flagship was too good to pass up during that last sale. Since the Odin 2 Advanced Display Stand design proved to be so popular, completed a next gen update of it for the RG556. Works with the usb c cable Anbernic packed in with the 556. As an aside, loving the device so far, inky black levels make parasite eve 2 a treat to play. Pretty close to using a pvm. Etsy Shop links provided below for a pre printed version and the stl/.3mf so you can print your own. Stand is printed using engineering grade filament made in the US. Thanks!

Spill it, what sweet handhelds did everyone get over Black Friday? (lemmy.world)
 

Really really wanted to pick up the RG Arc from Anbernic. However, Bambu labs did their first printer sale and it was time for an upgrade. Maybe a Christmas sale for the Anbernic…. Anyway what did everyone pick up?

The purple is such a nice color and the 12gb seems to be the sweet spot, great choice! Really curious about the blue as well. Also if anyone with the original purple odin pro was wondering, the shell does feel different. The new purple Odin has a much nicer satiny feel vs the rougher texture of the original.

Ayn Odin 2 Advanced Display Stand (lemmy.world)
 

Good day everyone! Have a been working on a special project. Developed a single piece, easy to print stand, with ventilation for the Odin 2 with enough clearance to allow use of the Ayn provided charging cable (everything about the Odin 2 has been high quality, even the charging cable they provide feels premium). Went through many iterations to develop a design that is printed on its side and is bridging friendly without supports.

For reference printed using an Ankermate M5 and 125gram of 3d Print fuel Pro Pla+ at 2x (100mm). Thanks and take it easy!

That is awesome, when the 405m was released most did not think a Linux based firmware would be possible. Love how this community keeps working and improving the devices for everyone. Truly a golden age of retro gaming!

Hello again everyone!

Designed a classy stand similar to the one for the Anbernic 405m and just wanted to share. Have an Odin 2 on order and will be be designing stands for it as well in the future. If it’s something you liked, linked the pages to my Etsy shop for a STL to print your own and a pre printed version. Thanks and have a good day!

Is there anything I should know before purchasing an RG405M? in c/sbcgaming@lemmy.ml
[–] RPiRadioGuy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Gamma os is pretty well optimized at this point. Running an older build on the 405m and it’s extremely stable. Have not used a rg350m but did have a rg351mp and rg351m, the 405m is a noticeably thinner device. No issues with the screen or anything as that seems to be solved with later batches. Build quality and feel in the hands is phenomenal. Only complaint is the case does get warm on the side near the processor when running cpu under high load. Though you can open it and use some stacked thermal pads to make contact between the cpu shield and back case to even out the thermal distribution a bit.

The android build the 405m ships with performs worse than the rp3+/ flip as it uses a lower performance gpu driver. Gamma OS uses the gpu driver from the builds for the rp3+ and flip to bring performance back in line with those devices.

As an aside, huge benefit is that the 405m is a 4:3 device that has enough cpu to run Sega Genesis games using cycle accurate ym2612 emulation (massive sound quality upgrade). It’s a perfect companion device to a 16:9 handheld like the rp3+ or any of the Odin handhelds. At the moment cycle between an Odin pro, steam deck and 405m depending on the game.

Good Afternoon Everyone!

Been playing waaay too much Sega Genesis on my RG405m (as an aside the fan translation of Langrisser 2 is fantastic). Such a lovely handheld, anyway decided to develop a nice classy display stand for it. If it’s something you like, linked my Etsy page with the STL file so you can print your own and a second link for a pre printed version. Thanks!
