  • RG35XX SP Unboxing & First Impressions/ A love letter to the OG SP
    Hello world, how are we all doing?
    In today's video we are finally Unboxing one of if not the most anticipated handhelds of the year.....well at least for me.
    It's the very beautiful Anbernic RG35XX SP a true love letter to the OG SP and a handheld that I sunk so many hours days and nights playing back in the day and the game boy advance sp is still one of my favorite handhelds of all time.
    don't get me wrong even though I absolutely love it to death I fond it hard at first to use the D-pad but I know I can fix it with a mod and a tinker so it's all good, once I do this thing will be perfect.
    if you agree then show it with love and hit the like button so I know you love it too.

    Hey Sonic, Thanks for the great video man, for mine I got the grey retro looking one. I also don't like the clicky buttons I also didn't like Anbernic's default OS, I immediately stuck MuOS on mine with the GB theme .

    This is by far, by leaps and bounds, my favorite chinese retro handheld of all time! This is the one I've been waiting for. I have like 20 or so, play them for a few days, and move on. I can usually tell if I'm going to like a gaming accessory pretty quickly, no matter how I try to force myself to like them I can't. I usually wait a few months to get them to allow better firmware to be released but I took a chance on this. Luckily this one came with a really solid firmware but the hardware is amazing. I might be a little biased as I had a SP as a kid.

    I will say the scaling on the GBA games are incorrect its immediately noticeable if you play Mega Man Zero or Mega Man and Bass, but that is fixed by playing with the shaders in retroarch (the program used to emulate on this device).
    Just hit the menu button and it will have you in the quick menu.
    Scroll down to "Shaders" and select it
    Scroll down to "Shader Passes" and change it to 2
    Scroll down to "Shader #0" and select it
    Scroll down the folders until you find the "interpolation" folder and select it
    Then select the "shaders" folder
    Then select smootheststep,glsl (this smooths the uneven pixels to look accurate)
    After selecting it you will be taken back to the Shaders setting
    Scroll down to "Shader #0 Filter" change it to linear
    Scroll down to "Shader #0 Scale" if you want just the raw pixels and no extra screen filter set it to 3x (set the "Shader Passes" back to 1), if you want the filter set it to 6x
    Scroll down to "Shader #1" and select it
    Scroll down the folders until you find the "handheld" folder and select it
    Then select the "shaders" folder
    Then select lcd1x_psp.glsl (This is the only filter that doesn't get funky and it looks quite accurate)
    Like before after selecting it will bring you back to the Shaders setting
    scroll down to "Shader #1 Filter" change it to Nearest
    you can leave the "Shader #1 Scale" default
    Viola it's basically perfect
    you can select "Save Preset" and then "Save Core Preset" so it applies to all GBA games that run on the core used (mGBA is the default core)

      @SonicLoveEmulation  14 днів тому

      Yeah man it's great to have them but to be honest with you on a 3,5 inch screen it's not worth it for me it dose not bother me that the pixels are out of line a little bit..am to busy enjoying the game.

    Why do most reviewers use Retroarch to play GBA games ? I notice some games on retroarch will lose save data if i accidentally hit reset bottom. The standalone emulator is easier to use, and the HD filter makes gaming experience quite nice, and no issue with save data loss from emulator.
