This would be worth it for travelling if you want to play normal retro games from handhelds so its great option for that case and you know if you do break it you wont be angry or annoyed with it. Thanks for the review got me thinking a lot now about this and another competitor product.
My wife has vision issues, and while she can use a 3.5" diagonal screen, she would struggle. This may be the perfect size for her, and I'm considering getting her one for Christmas..and maybe one for myself. :)
This has been one of the strongest candidates for my first retro handheld (for up to PS1 and pico8), the other ones are the miyoo mini (plus) and the new cube xx. I saw it in some other review: you can map (at least in some games) the analog stick as the right/camera one and use the dpad to move the character. It doesn't seem super comfortable but it's something to consider.
I've had my eye on an RG40XXv for awhile now... Only change I'd make is going on Etsy and buying one of those 3d printed caps that can go over where the stick is. That would make it a perfect device for me to go with my RG28XX.
First one I watch from your Channel mate, good stuff. I need to check how much one of those cost here in Brazil. I always feel like these devices are cooler to set up and get all the games running than actually setting some time to play them 😅. The moment everything is running smoothly and all the covers are set and downloaded you’re moments away from not touching the device for some time lol. Cheers.
Great review, subscribed to you. I'm glad to see Monster Hunter runs well on this chipset, as it's a favorite of mine as well. I've been trying to decide between this and the RG Cube XX.
Looks stunning! Shame it couldn’t properly run some of the bigger psp titles, guess I’ll still keep my original psp for those. This could be very nice for retroarch though. But I would be interested in that little guy’s opinion too 😊
I grabbed the rg40xxH and having a blast with it. I just gave up on vertical consoles as my hands really don't go well with those. That and the Miyoo A30 have become my daily drivers.
@ just the black one. The neat thing is that hardware wise is basically the same as the rg40xxV but horizontal so you have the dual sticks. Some games like megaman legends work great remapping the rotate camera to the right stick.
Looks like a pretty awesome handheld! The one joy stick was an automatic concern for me. Do they offer one with two joysticks at a similar price point? Great review brother!
Great review, quick snappy and to the point all the things people want to know,new sub, ive got myself the miyoo mini plus and the trimui smart pro i enjoy them both but something about the trimui am not overly keen on and cant put my finger on it id be tempted to get the white one of this but would be scared would get dirty so easily ha great review keep up the fantastic work 🔥
As a perfectionist, I will always regard any flaws in a product to be unusuable to me. It is annoying in some ways, I'm never happy even though I've got high-end equipment. But I do get to experience things at the highest level. That's why I won't change.
Wow I always thought about buying one of these Devices. It is incredible what you get for your money if you think about it. Btw I got MonsterHunter Flashbacks to when I tried to kill my first Khezu in the snowy Mountains for WEEKS because it was so damnn difficult for me back then. They really pushed you to use all the tricks like bombs and elementary weapons back then. Or at least it felt that way when I was a kid and new to the series. Hardcore but great memorys. I was at the Beach in the shade trying to beat damn Khezu 😄
@MarkiTechYt I always liked the paintballs and every area being it's own small arena was a great concept. But still... having a big area without loadtimes inbetween is just way more fun.
Looks good. Nice review.. I have been looking for a handheld that includes Castlevania The Dracula Chroniclles (PSP ) and Atomiswaves Dolphin Blue . Will research further.
Aw man. As a gamer of a certain age, I should have known it was a mistake to follow your new channel. My decent into the rabbit hole of handheld emulators is almost inevitable now…
Been looking at this one since it came out but yet to pull the trigger. Looks like the perfect 'Gameboy' style retro handheld! So many memories of that awesome handheld!! And that screen looks superb! How would you compare this to the RG40XX H which does have the 2 joysticks?
This looks great! Would it be a good handheld for someone who doesn't know much at all about retro gaming and just wants to play some good games while getting into it?
hey, cool vid, good luck with channel, i just subbed. I'm also "strangely attracted" to this tech even as 59 yr old man. I grabbed one of these. I thought the stock os was fine, but i did wish that had ANY sort of scraped art on my Extra SD, even though i tried many sets in "retro bat structure", as well as "batocera" structure, and how folders differ. hmm, then i learned that would not work, and to go with KNULLI, , i follow all top retro channels, Knulli, looked great, but now the unit, would just randomly "reset and reboot", no pattern, no reason, looked for help, no help, went back to stock. Happy, then was snared into "MUOS" for this unit, its the best etc, it had the most tedious process of making new folders , for art i followed a tutor by Russ at RGC, step by step, and it took over 15 hrs, as had 450gb of 512 , and when it ran, only like 15 percent of the scraped artwork was visible, and there was NO difference in file names, structure, extensions, types, nothing, it was completely "hit and miss" , i even "regrouped", and batch resized all images first to 300 x300, it STILL failed, so after all that work, i went back to stock, so dunno, just cant waste any more effort on it, but i do like to use it on a spare tv now, as its just cool, as a "lil console" and fuck the artwork, but maybe its just my hardware, i did not yet update the firmware, as that will destroy all roms on sd1 (the only ones that HAVE art, so that would be worse imo
A really interesting situation - yeah stock here is very solid honestly - I might experiment with a separate microsd but will definitely keep that stock ready
I love my anbernic, all be it an older model - amazing if you like your retro gaming. Too bad about the analogue stick, could have been great from the look of it.
Does anyone know if it's possible to connect two wireless controllers to this device? That would be an interesting thing to know, and so far I don't remember any review talking about this.
What do you make of this device - you can actually find it for about £35 now on AliExpress which is A LOT more tempting! Mark
Have you got a link please , £55 from Ali express anbernic store is the cheapest I can see
@@makv8145 40xxh is better and is £40 right now.
What a COOL gizmo...
Imagine time travelling to the 80s and showing your younger self one of these!
My head would have exploded!
Very tempted
IKR I would lose my mind haha mark
I lost my cat a week ago and was sad, happy to find it on Mark's head in the beginning of this video though
I started reading that feeling sorry for you 😂
So excited for this channel!!!!
So crazy what Anbernic can put out for the price!
@@RoccoCusumano yeah some really good options now! Mark
One of the best reviews on this console, direct to the point and pointing out not just the pros but the cons as well
The design is my favorite part, really love that Anbernic is finally making nice designs and color choices now, It's really nice.
This one oozes charme! I'm inmediately thrown back to the 90s! Would love to carry one like those with me to relive those old childhood memories. 😊
Aw, lovely little cameo at the end 😍 Your hat-game is on point too 👌🏻👏🏻😂
Haha If I’m not playing games I’m out cutting wood haha! Mark
Ladies and gents. he's back with a new video! thought you disappeared lol
this is a cool device for vertical form factor enjoyers
also nice hat!
Hey mate loads of new stuff coming as I’ve got new devices on the way
Something about the white one with a black bezel makes it look soooo good
@@ArmandoCastruita it’s so clean, lovely device

@@icemanff23 what’s the competitor?? Mark
My wife has vision issues, and while she can use a 3.5" diagonal screen, she would struggle. This may be the perfect size for her, and I'm considering getting her one for Christmas..and maybe one for myself. :)
This will be my next device, some day! Great video. Thank u!
I’m in the market for an emulation handheld, but man the choice is overwhelming. This one looks decent!
Great vid as always, dude!

Yes I should have mentioned that actually! Mark
Damn this device looks nice, very tempting! Great review mate!
Nice to see it working well straight out of the box without having to mess about with the os. Might just swing it for me
@@robbie_b77 yeah that’s a very good point
This looks great. I didn't know this existed. Love the channel.

@@sirvick there always joy in the process for sure! Mark
I bought this last week. It is pretty awesome. Plays most of the games that I love, SNES, PSX, and PSP games. N64 doesn't seem to work as well though.
Great review, subscribed to you. I'm glad to see Monster Hunter runs well on this chipset, as it's a favorite of mine as well. I've been trying to decide between this and the RG Cube XX.
Oh nice, great series! I’ll try and get that device for testing! Mark

@@melaniapina6368 oh he’s got a lot on those haha!
I’m new to the channel. But I loved your videos. Not too much over explaining. Just down to business.
Thank you mate
I love retro handheld's, especially in White
@@petertelinde130 Yeah same 🙏
I love retro gaming, 16-bit era🙌🏻
I grabbed the rg40xxH and having a blast with it. I just gave up on vertical consoles as my hands really don't go well with those. That and the Miyoo A30 have become my daily drivers.
Oh nice I might have to try it, what colour did you go for? Mark
@ just the black one. The neat thing is that hardware wise is basically the same as the rg40xxV but horizontal so you have the dual sticks. Some games like megaman legends work great remapping the rotate camera to the right stick.
No way that was Crazy Taxi!! Wow what a trip
Looks like a pretty awesome handheld! The one joy stick was an automatic concern for me. Do they offer one with two joysticks at a similar price point? Great review brother!
Yes they do and I’ll have a video asap
I have an Odin lite and prefer this way more! My Odin hasn’t been touched since picking this up.
Yeah its lovely
Looks super nice! It's the perfect size and form factor. Stuff like the Steam Deck is too mammoth for me.
Thanks for an awesome video :) Keep up the good work mate
Thank you mate! Mark
Great device! Thanks for the review!!
They could learn a lot from your ear warming headpiece designers…..then they would have it at perfection! 😂. Love it. Great video thanks.

Totally worth it!
I’d say so! Mark
Nice review ❤ please choose me 😂

Ahhhh yes my alter ego

It would but I’d wait for my latest upload (rendering now)
Nice video!. I'm new to.handhelds and this looks great! Cheers!
Great job Mark! There are so many of these handheld devices. Appreciate your perspective on the RG 40xxv. Subscribe!
Legend thanks! Mark
Great video!
Appreciate it mate. Mark
In terms of “little intruders” it could be worse. At least that one only has two legs 😊
Hahahaha
muOS is a must on this device
I’m gonna give that a go. Mark
Nice video and comments section. I'm in it to win it.
My friend got me one for my birthday and I would love to get one for him if I win! Gave you a like, share, and comment for the algorithm! Let's go!
That’s very cool 👌
For someone who's never owned a Gameboy I'd really enjoy this RG40XXV maybe maybe not😂

So many handheld devices. Hard to choose one...
I’ve recently got into looking up these and this one does seem amazing, just yeah confusing as to why there’s only 1 analog stick
@@baitmate6414 Really strange choice but maybe they just wanted an option for people who want that as they cover everything else?
@ yeah tbf I have the rectangle anbernic, it has 2 sticks but I never use them because I’m normally playing old games that don’t need them 😂
Would love to win it..
He hat he business please it's Christmas don't be judging anymore❤
How did you manage to run star wars podracer on that ?
I need this to push up to PS2…any device suggestions with this aesthetic? Maybe up to 150-$200?
this looks so good!
Price?
It’s in there £35-50 on AliExpress around $45-60
Wiat a minute. Is this mark from switch up?
It is indeed! Mark
Looks like a nice one.
What was the second Super Famicon game?
I purchased the RG40XXV and it did not come with any Nintendo games, is there any way I can purchase a TF card with the Nintendo already loaded
You ever wonder how they come up with the names? Maybe they throw some marbles onto a board of letters and numbers? A round of darts? A Ouija Board?
Retro Gaming 4.0" XX (H700) Vertical. (I don't like it but that's the logic)

Can you play ps1 games with enhancements ? (2x resolution for instance ?)
Good review.
Thank you mate
Its close to perfection, the RG406V is closer.
YES! I will definitely be reviewing that one it looks literally perfect. Mark
For the price I would hope the rg406v is closer to perfection lol
switch up in the house

How do you skrape roms and artwork with HDMI and stock firmware?
Does anyone know if it's possible to connect two wireless controllers to this device? That would be an interesting thing to know, and so far I don't remember any review talking about this.
Id love this
Can you tell me if Mario kart and super Mario bros is preinstalled?
I’ll check
Can anyone tell me if the Cadillacs & dinosaurs is on it? Thank you.
Did they fix the cardinal snapping with the latest updated software?
The what snapping?
@ the joystick snapping to cardinal directions aka up down left right instead of fluidly moving around all locations on the axis.
Can anyone please tell me if this handheld includes Final Fantasy 6 for SNES? In English?
I want
It’s ‘Aitch’. There’s no ‘h’ at the start of the word!
Which word lol
@MarkiTechYt Aitch.
Trimui smart pro clear
Is it hard to download games? I want to add Mario bro games.
Not it’s just a case of putting them on the micro sd card
Here's my super normal comment saying that I would like to win it! Super normal and ordinary.
I just wish I could play Pokemmo on this.
Pokemmo would be good
Can anyone tell me is the Cadillacs & Dinosaurs on it? Thanks a lot
I’ll check
@@MarkiTechYt thanks a lot
5 or 7in screen would be nicer. My eyes suck,
Agree I’m all about a massive device. Mark
One analog stick is a deal breaker 😭
Doesn't need more with that chipset
