Decided to take my Kirby theme further with menu icons that are portraits from the game. Also changed the little icon and the corner text. I want to also get new sparkly buttons!
This might be the most transfemme thing I've ever done...
Portmaster is so cool! Let me know if anyone wants help setting this up on one of these devices. Supposedly it's confirmed to run on the following devices running the following OSs:

I’m running UnofficialOS on an Anbernic RG353PS for what it’s worth, so this list isn’t entirely accurate.
So I’ve been seeing these different retro gaming devices everywhere and I’m obsessed 😍 they have all the games I used to play as a girl whether it’s sims, hamtaro, animal crossing, bratz, sailor moon, totally spies, like they have everything. So I know I’m going to purchase one I just want to make sure I get a quality console that’s going to be the best fit for me.
So first we have the miyoomini plus which is really cute but I haven’t seen as much on these as I have the other handhelds. Plus I just looked and realized I’m not the biggest fan of the fact there are no analog sticks and that’s actually a pretty big negative for me. But I’m curious on how you guys feel about it if you own one.
The other gaming console I’m looking into are different forms of the anbernic I keep hearing about. I like this one because there is a lot of options to choose from when it comes to how you want the handheld styled. I love my switch but I was also a gameboy kid growing up so I have a lot of nostalgia with some of the other designs. All in all though, I think I might choose the one with a similar design to the switch. Just looking for second opinions and any drawbacks or positives that come with each design. Thanks so much guys 💕
Ps. I’m already going to grab up a steam deck so I’m not including that in this post. This is just for the retro gaming needs.
Really been enjoying retro gaming on the Anbernic Rg35XX, it's great on the go and playing a bit of chill games in bed. Loving the old Metroid and Castlevania games.
I did a short comparison between a recapped GameGear, one with a modded screen (RetroSix kit), and the Anbernic RG353v which uses emulation.
The OG screen is pretty poor, even compared to old Game Boys etc. I had to tweak the curves for the video because it was so faded on camera! I’m gonna try a backlight mod at some point.
The modern modded screen, and the Anbernic, both have lovely depth, saturation of colour, and contrast, and overall were pretty close, with the emulation being spot on as you can see.
This was the game title demo so all ran at the same speed. The game is Shinobi 2, if you’re curious.
Really enjoying the Anbernic device, which has the advantage of offering a larger integer scale view than the modded GameGear.
rg35xx... if you miss your beloved gameboy look here first...
sue me, i caved… i lied, i talked a bunch of crap about what i referred to as chinese emulation boxes and gave the vibe of never wanting to have another one of these devices in my possession ever again. hear me out on this. when we were in grammar school, if you’re about that boomer age as i am, we lusted after this device, as i have to referred to many times before, because it was imbued with…
