$100 Raspberry Pi handheld kit VS $100 phone

[Ryanwake]

I would say the Raspberry Pi kit had to be $65 plus $35 for the pie

 

And the phone had to be $100 including the Bluetooth controller

 

But you can get whatever phone door kit do you want, whether it's $80 for $200, so for argument's sake, let's say I'm selling them for the same price

I was going to say Raspberry Pi but the phone can emulate Dreamcast, that's Sonic Adventure 2 that's my childhood in my hand for $100.

 

That's cheaper then buying it normally, if it's pocketable, and water-resistant.

 

Never thought I would consider playing Sonic Adventure 2 in the tub, but now I can

Is it against the rules to share ROM sites mine doesn't have the mine doesn't have the rom I'm looking for

Your post reads as if you had an argument with yourself, and then decided to post a few randomly selected sentences in the middle of the debate. It makes no sense.

 

Is this something you're planning on buying?

What "Raspberry Pi handheld kit" are you talking about?

What are you going to do with it?

Why do you want to share ROM sites all of a sudden? And no, it's against the rules.

What do you mean by "phone door kit"? I don't even know what that is, much less what they cost or what's included.

 

The Raspberry Pi can run emulators too, so being able to play sonic isn't exclusive to the phone.

Phone.

 

I wouldn't want to fuck around making an OS work just to emulate some old games.

If I can get mobile data, and a phone-like touchscreen, w/ a battery, I'd take the pi.

Android can't do what I want my phone to do, and it is annoying.

I have a Raspberry Pi and everything that it can emulate it can emulate extremely easily.

 

So that's basically some PS1 most PSP Nintendo DS and everything older

 

to be honest with the Raspberry Pi everything is just drag-and-drop, the community is huge, it's basically like everyone on the floor I'm having 10 years of experience working hands on with computers.

 

That's the community have access to

yeah they can be pretty annoying and Raspberry Pi is just drag and drop the community is very well aware of what it is capable of.

 

DS PS1 and most PSP, along with everything else older.

 

And it's the same story with a more expensive SPC, everything is drag-and-drop and you could easily find YouTube tutorials and how to install all the emulators.

 

Like we're talking you could be playing emulators in less than 5 minutes, if you have the internet speed fast enough to download the games you want to play.

Wow the community is really divided on this one

A phone doesn't require as much set up. It doesn't require access to another system. It works out of the box, and is more likely to keep working.
