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

Scrof@sopuli.xyz · 10 pts · 3y

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

dojan@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 3y

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

tomkatt@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y

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?

Zeus@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

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

rezz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

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

I have a lot of questions.

Number one, how dare you?

idusces@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y (4 replies)

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

runningman@lemmy.one · 4 pts · 3y (2 replies)

I'm pretty sure it's an Anbernic RG35XX

idusces@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

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

TheTeaMonster@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

Yup, it's the RG35XX.

resketreke@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

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

What are the two on the left?

TheTeaMonster@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (4 replies)

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

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

TheTeaMonster@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

I really enjoy it. I chose it over the Miyoo Mini Plus because, from my research, it has a better-quality display. The extra chin under the face buttons also adds to the comfort in hand over time, and I can confirm that it’s very comfortable. Additionally, I was able to find it for a cheaper price, which was just the icing on the cake.

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

TheTeaMonster@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

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

NOT_RICK@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y (4 replies)

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

TheTeaMonster@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

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

fsk@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (2 replies)

I have an RG351MP.

NOT_RICK@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

You happy with it?

fsk@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

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,

What keyboard is that?

TheTeaMonster@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (8 replies)

It's the Nuphy Air60

Haldum96@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (7 replies)

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

awderon@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (6 replies)

Typing this on the air75, love this keyboard. Switched recently to the black shine through keycaps, I like the look even better than the creme keycaps.

Haldum96@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y (5 replies)

Can you post a pic?

awderon@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y (4 replies)

Here you go.

Haldum96@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y (3 replies)

Thanks! This looks awesome, like something out of the first Alien film.

awderon@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 3y

You might also like the look of the Keychron K3. Which will probably be my next one, if or when I get tired of the air75.

_I_@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y

Sure, retro - if you're 12 😃

Captain_Jimmy_T_Kirk@lemmy.ml · 3 pts · 3y (1 reply)

What happened to the 2nd screen on the 3DS?!

TheTeaMonster@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

Somehow the reflection of my ceiling matched the color of the pad underneath perfectly.

SeatBeeSate@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y (1 reply)

Retro mouse and keyboard?

TheTeaMonster@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y

In terms of their aesthetic, at least. Nuphy Air60 and the retro version of the Xtrfy M8 Wireless.

Vub@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

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

Noodlez@programming.dev · 2 pts · 3y

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

CaptainAlchemy@lemmy.one · 2 pts · 3y

Slick AF, I love it!

dodgypast@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y

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.
