Experiences with the Miyoo Flip v2?

I'm looking at deals on handhelds, and the Miyoo Flip has an excellent deal going on Aliexpress going on right now. However, it's pretty close in price to its nearest competitors, the Anbernic RG35XXSP and RG34XXSP. The trouble is that those systems have some kind of major hangup in terms of features that prevents me from getting them. The 35 has no analog sticks whatsoever, and the 34 has a wonky 3:2 screen that makes console games really small. As seems to be the usual, Anbernic is so close to perfection. But that gap is where the Flip supposedly comes in.

But as is probably widely known, Miyoo has historically had quality control problems. I've already ruled out getting the Grey SNES color model, because the plastics on that one are supposedly much lower quality than the other colors. So I'm wondering if there's any other reasons I should avoid getting it - everything else aside, it seems like with some custom firmware it's exactly the sort of budget clamshell I'm looking for.

Alternatively, are there other similar handhelds in this <$70 price range that I haven't heard of? Namely pocket-sized, clamshell handhelds with analog stick(s) and capability up to the PS1.

I made a little sorta Windows Aero-esque app launcher icon for Arch Linux.

For reasons unknown, this file and only this file is highlighted on hover. Nothing else works, not even the default icon. It's also a little small, but I don't know how to change that.

Also, this was like my second time using Inkscape to make something, so be nice. Arch Linux icon vector graphic is from...gonna be real, I forget. I made this months ago.

Hopefully the animated webp loads.

Here's a link to the icon. https://github.com/DaforLynx/arch-linux-applauncher-icon

Resource: pret, the team who is decompiling every Pokémon game

https://github.com/pret

If you want to start romhacking, or are just curious about how the games were put together, there is no better time than now. Thanks to the efforts of pret and the open source community, every mainline Pokémon game up to Emerald has been decompiled.

I mean most members here were probably aware of these, but I thought it would be helpful for anyone who didn't know these existed

I think this community could serve as a great repository for resources on romhacking. If only because much information on romhacking is not very easily searchable, or old, or trapped in forums. Surfacing that info here would add value to this community. And if the instance goes down, at least federated instances will still have the info.

Feature requests: default comment sort and community search linking

This is by far the best Lemmy app on the Play store so far. There's some bugs and missing features but it's been very stable and looks auper clean.

So here's a couple of inconveniences I've come across, speaking as someone very new to this with only one account on one instance:

  • The app doesn't remember how I last sorted comments, and there isn't an option to set a default, it seems.
  • The community search is awesome. What's not awesome is when I tap on the community, it takes me to the community via the instance I searched it on, rather than the instance I'm logged in on. This is especially inconvenient if your account is on a small instance that hasn't synced with a ton of communities yet.

Thanks devs! I would make an issue on Github but these are rather small grievances.
