Looks Like We're Getting Another GBA SP Clone This Year

No sticks - YES!

My prayers have been answered 😂

PS -
"the RG35XX SP will lack dual analogue sticks, which could present problems when emulating some PS1 titles."

Like one game I can think of 😆 and if you think you'll be comfortable playing Ape Escape on a device like this, IMO you are kidding yourself.

this is going to be an ideal GB/A + S/NES machine! I can't wait 👍

I’d get the one with the sticks

Almost nailed it. Make it GBA classic formfactor and I'm all in.

That's not a gba sp clone, it's yet another software emulator portable styled after the GBA sp. A clone would play gba carts.

@Ziondood Hi, sorry for the random ping. In the fabulous first picture of that GBA SP, Sonic and Tails are posing nearby. Just wondered if those were yours, and if so, you'd know where I might be able to buy some? Extra brownie points if there is a Knuckles figure too.

@Nua Hey! They totally are! They're from a line of figures called Totaku, and you'll be jazzed to hear there is a Knuckles one too

@-wc- I'm glad you got your stickless wish. Here's the thing though, it's not about what games require sticks, famously the n64,dc, psp, and og ps1 didn't have sticks, you know this obviously. BUT in order to do this, they often did silly things to control camera, which was sometimes triggers (which is fine), but other times way more convoluted, so when I emulate a lot of games from those systems, I do map the stick to update the controls a bit.

Man gba sp design is classic, even after all this years I still love the design. I hope someday nintendo make true portable console like those two again. Maybe a switch micro with 3.5inch screen and gba sp design, I'll buy that just to put that in my pocket and play my switch anywhere 😃

@Poodlestargenerica

you've lit some part of my brain that remembers emulating SNES with a logitech dual shock knockoff years ago. 👍

I think I stand by what I said, but I do now remember doing what you say and you've given me something to ponder 🤔 thanks!

@Coalescence

"A clone would play gba carts."

holy cow that's some quality pedantry 😄 can you back it up at all?

I love establishing and ruthlessly enforcing lexicon! ❤️

Does anbernic just checks miyoo's website and tries to copy their ideas? (and how many more models do we need of this kind of thing.. my miyoo mini plus feels sort of perfect tbh)
