@joel MediEvil was such a fun goofy game. Also it’s sequel.

@joel I'm getting tempted.

@LovesTha 40 bucks https://a.aliexpress.com/_mqrbWse

@joel That is a lot more than currency conversion.... (xe.com converts that to $USD68

@LovesTha that's very strange... There are other sellers on AliExpress who might have it cheaper

Maybe it is because my country has a "hot sale" going on, kinda like black Friday and such but not sure and it might be a regional thing

@joel

What's the screen size, BTW?

joel,
@joel@fosstodon.org avatar

@RL_Dane 3.5 inches! It's as tall as a PSP but not as wide

RL_Dane,
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

@joel

Miiiiight be a touch small for my eyes.

Can you give me width/height whenever you have a ruler handy?

Or does someone know how to do the math on that (assuming 4:3 screen aspect ratio?)

joel,
@joel@fosstodon.org avatar

I'll send a pic comparing with the switch once I get home

RL_Dane,
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

@joel

I did the math, it's 2.8" x 2.1", assuming an aspect ratio of 4:3 and a screen diameter of 3.5"

Assuming a resolution of 640x480 (PSX), that's 228.6 ppi, or 114.3 for older consoles' emulation (320x240).

I'll do a mockup on my laptop and see if I can see the details ok. XD

@joel @dm

Hmm, it's doable, but it feels kinda teensy to me.

@RL_Dane maybe the Powkiddy RGB30 is better for your eyes then :P

RL_Dane,
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

@joel

Ooo, nice!

Square screen, though?

joel,
@joel@fosstodon.org avatar

@RL_Dane good for arcade too, bit weird but it feels huge despite its black borders, look some reviews!

@joel

I think I'm just tempted to get a BT controller/grip for my phone to enjoy gaming on a big(ger) screen.

@RL_Dane @joel The input lag of Bluetooth on retro gaming is absolute nerve wracking.

RL_Dane,
@RL_Dane@fosstodon.org avatar

@vwbusguy @joel

Ah. :/

joel,
@joel@fosstodon.org avatar

@RL_Dane @vwbusguy it depends on your device and the controller, it's mostly alright the few times I've done it :P

vwbusguy,
@vwbusguy@mastodon.online avatar

@joel @RL_Dane It depends on how retro, but you already have lag from up scaling, and there will always be more lag from Bluetooth over wired. I tried Sonic 2 once this way and it was entirely unplayable for me. The experience is night and day from running it on the actual console.

@joel not like it would take much convincing

joel,

@kingslayer69O69 there's some people out there who refuse to be happy

The right term is probably bribery at this point lol
