Okay, this is probably the greatest "No BS" video I've ever seen. Straight to the point and very concise, awesome job!! Strongly recommend waiting for muOS version 10 to release near the end of February, it's basically a fully customizable Retroarch OS with updated cores. I've been using version 9 and it's amazing.
Thank you 👌🏻 I’ve received some comments from people saying how they like my “No BS” approach, so I’ll try to keep that up lol how do you find Dreamcast emulation on muOS? I’ve been hearing good things about Koriki, but I’ve heard Dreamcast isn’t good in its current beta
It's threw their shops, new buyers get 50% off plus if ambernic is running a sale that makes it cheaper. The shops rotate between ambernic, kitty and miyoo with sales
Is there a way to move or copy my save state from the stock OS over to the retroarch? Started playing a game through the default and have a few good hours in it but with the speed up I'd rather play in the RA now lol any help would be greatly appreciated
I haven’t tried it before, but I’m pretty sure if you put your SD card in your computer you should see your save file next to your game in the folder. If not check which emulator you’re using and see where it files the save state Then put it in the same folder as the game where RetroArch is pulling from. If it doesn’t work, save a different game using RetroArch and see where RetroArch is keeping the files So basically, I’m thinking it’s all about the location of the save files. And hopefully, it’s usable haha
This literally happened to me because I booted up Radical Red on the stock OS and was wondering why I couldn’t do anything with the hotkeys or commands but it was because it wasn’t under RA. Did you manage to figure out how to transfer your save data? Am I needing to move it from one folder to another on my CPU?
Something people are missing about the analog sticks is that they're not true analog sticks. Every emulator I've used them in on mine has been stuck to only 8 directions and a digital run toggle. It's still more ergonomic then using a d-pad in OOT, it's not like it doesn't add anything of value, but it's not a true analog stick. Or at the very least hasn't been calibrated properly in the factory.
It does lock to 8 directions but it is actually analog. There's just a big deadzone and then it goes to 100% really fast. In short they're not very good sticks...
I uploaded a complete guide yesterday for installing muOS for the SP, but it uses the same file for different RG35XX devices. muOS does have Pico 8 and mine is working I've never downloaded any Saturn games for it, but I believe other UA-cam channels have tried it out. I think TechDweeb did
I have that on an SD card, but the Dreamcast performance turns to mush. It is just a beta release so far though, so hopefully it can match the native OS performance at some point.
@@SpagmanAusYeah, not even the SNES cores are up to date, noticed it right away when playing Mega Man X and hearing the music and sounds sounding different (and not as good). It has some outdated cores and doesn't have SNES9x-Current.
Once you’re on the blank screen you can try a couple things: -Hit the ‘reset’ button next to the power button -If you shine a flashlight at the screen on a sharp angle, you may actually be able to see the menu. Go to settings and turn up the brightness -Install new custom firmware from the community on a new reliable SD card. Your old SD card’s files should still be accessible using a computer -Get it exchanged from where you purchased it from, as it should be working without glitches. Those default SD cards are not very reliable
You could try a new SD card and download an updated version of the software from the Anbernic website. Or use my full guide on installing muOS if you don't mind losing Bluetooth. muOS is awesome. Just backup your files from your black SD card so you have them. If none of that works then yeah exchange it
Yeah I’ve had another person comment that they’d love a touch screen DS emulation device. I guess it might boost the price of the handhelds, but with the way these are evolving I’m sure it’s in the cards. I’m sure these will develop a lot more over the next couple years
Great video! Maybe you can help me! I cannot seem to change the gfx plugin to rice...when i use your methode of going into RA , quick menu and to options, I dont see the same list as you do. Its a list with completely different options, like manage core options, use 32bit color, vertical mode, force 60hz..but no gfx. I did notice that you have maybe a different OS. Mine is just de standard Anbernic OS with the big desktop symbols. maybe thats the problem.. thxn in advance!
You may be able to view more options on your list by going into RetroArch settings/user interface/menu item visibility and enabling 'show core downloader' and trying that. You should be able to see core options/manage cores in settings as well. If you're having issues you can try installing muOS on a new SD card I uploaded a complete guide yesterday for the SP, but it uses the same file for different RG35XX devices. But you'll lose Bluetooth function and HDMI out isn't reccomended right now until they fix an audio bug
Waiting on this to come in the mail. I've been waiting for this handheld for quite awhile. Dont get me wrong I wanted a metallic RG305/405/505 but the price is just too high. This is perfect.
I really love this handheld for the budget range. I think you’re really going to enjoy this, especially if you put community software on it with a new reliable micro SD card. If you decide to stick with the original card and software, at least backup the files somewhere so you have them. Let me know what you think of it 👌🏻
I need a little bit of help, I have actually switched to garlic os but when the game starts, my buttons don't work at all, except reset and power button. I will be really greatful if you can guide me here. When I try to power off by holding the power button, it doesn't power off but instead restarts automatically. I'm kinda worried here
If your buttons work on the menus, maybe Retroarch didn't assign your gaming buttons? Maybe try reinstalling it again. If you don't have any luck with Garlic and you don't mind losing the Bluetooth feature, I would suggest watching my full muOS guide (its actually the 'Refried Beans' version of muOS) then update that version later. I have a short update guide video to the new 'Refried Beans' that came out in July, which is super quick to update. It works really well... just make sure you select 'RG35XX H' when you install it
@@Raiden-o7g it sounds like something was corrupted during the install definitely. A new SD card (not the black one that came with it) is the best way to go. Just format it and start over. If that and muOS don't work, it might be worth getting a refund or exchange
Everyone showing how to connect the plugs.. seriously, can't the people know how to plug the wires.. I was looking for a video that shows me how to connect it to TV and make it work by choosing the correct mode..
Ironically, to use HDMI, you do the exact same thing. Just plug it in. You don't have to select a mode. The port uses HDMI Mini, not a normal HDMI port
@santosh0535 your tv could be on the wrong HDMI. Try different ones? All I had to do was plug it in to HDMI #1 and it worked fine. Try doing it while you're in the main menu of the system. If that don't work, turn it off, unplug it, load into a game, then plug into HDMI. It's reccomended to exit a game before you unplug from HDMI, but I also shut it down before I unplug just in case
If you're using your original black SD card, it might be corrupted. You could try pressing 'reset' when it's flashing like that. You can also let the battery die while its on. Try taking out the card, then turn it on & off, then put the card in and turn it on again. You should see if you can access the files on your card using a computer and save them so you don't lose them. After that, use a new reliable micro SD, such as a Sandisk, and either download their updated software on their website and install it. Or download and install muOS (but Bluetooth will not work) I showed how to install updated software from their website in my 'RG35XX SP' review.. I also made a video about installing muOS if you'd prefer that software. It's a similar process for your RG35XX H
Ugh. Just got MM+ now I’m having second thoughts after seeing this video. Which one do you prefer? The MM plus is great esp with Onion. The form factor of the H is appealing to me. Which one would you choose? #FirstWorldProblems.
I have a MM+ review video and I discovered that I personally have an issue where my thumb covers the speaker on the corner a lot. So if I chose a vertical form factor, I’d choose the RG35XX Plus. So this horizontal version is perfect for me because it has added joysticks for some of the 3D games it can play, as well as arcade games
Awesome video! And sorry if I missed this, but is it possible to add roms that might be missing? And can you add "hacked" or modded roms? I'm thinking for example a lot of people have customized versions of Mortal Kombat, Pokemon, etc.
You could try both plugged & unplugged. When you're on the loading screen press the restart button. Try starting it without the card in it. Then with the card. But the black SD card that came with it could be broken, so you could try my muOS guide on a new Sandisk card. Or check if you can download the stock software from the Anbernic website for the H (Just follow their guide, I use Rufus to install software on new cards) Just make sure to select RG35XX H when installing the muOS 'Refried Beans' version if you try my full guide on that. Then update to 'Baked Beans' which only takes a few minutes to update. I made 2 videos about those. Baked Beans might have a version you can install directly, but they suggested starting with Refried and doing the quick update. The only thing you'll lose with muOS is Bluetooth capability. You may be able to get yours changed for a new one if you just bought it
I find it a lot more comfortable. The RGB30 felt like a brick to me and the edges dug into my hands. This one is a lot more ergonomic. All the buttons are great. The dpad on the RG35XX models is good and works fine but feels a little squishy when you play games like Pac-Man, Contra etc
What you get might be different than mine. You get a ton of games, but you may not have some first party games like Mario as the SD cards are avoiding getting in trouble with Nintendo now. I’d recommend getting the biggest SD card option for the most games
I’ve noticed I’ve had to hold my thumb on the power button for a few seconds to get it to turn on today. There is a decent new custom firmware called Koriki that people are loving, but it’s in beta stage and someone commented that Dreamcast isn’t as good as the stock firmware yet
Did you open your games under the ‘RA Game’ folder? They may have released different software on the SD card for these. You can also put custom firmware on these using a new SD card from the community
You should check out RetroArch menu settings such as frameskip and over clocking. Reddit is a good place for resources about gameplay performance within RetroArch
I would suggest trying the shortcut Menu+Dpad left/right to choose a save state to load from, for example Save State 1. Then press the shortcut Menu+R1 to save the state… then make sure you’re loading State 1 with Menu+L1 If that whole process isn’t working, on the main menu of the system, are you going into ‘RA Game’ to start up your games? That will ensure you’re using RetroArch for most of the systems If that don’t work, try using a standalone emulator from the first option in the main menu, instead of RA Game
Hey I’ve been playing the pokemon emerald and I can’t figure out how to use the cheats on them. It’s very possible that I’m just stupid and doing it completely wrong but I’ve been trying to the cheat that gives me exp and it says to press R + A whilst the exp gained is displayed. I’ve tried using both right bumpers and and A at the same time and can’t get it. I’ve also tried the restart button too but that just restarts the system. Ik this is very specific but on the off chance you could me it would be much appreciated
Okay 3 things: First if all, you’re not stupid lol secondly, I have been hearing that people have been having issues with Pokemon emulation across different handhelds, so it may just be the way RetroArch is running the Pokemon games and needs an update. Third thing, I would highly suggest posting this comment on Reddit in a Pokemon/gaming emulation group and see if anyone else has found a solution to this. Reddit is a very good resource for this kind of stuff too
I juat got my RG35XX H yesterday and sometimes when i boot up the system or game it will go to a blackscreen any way of fixing this problem ? Thank you for your time 🙏🏽
change the core with y button on the rom, if you are using PSX the Swanstation core is the best or download another ROM, i have problems with the US version of Silent Hill 1 and play the PAL Europe Version of that rom, with some configurations made by me on some points the videos of the game dont works and stuck on a black screen, that problem i resolver by disablle widescrenen hacks and PGXP improvements, and enable afther that events.
Another option besides the cores & ROM files is to change the software. So you could pick up a new reliable SD card and download muOS, just make sure to backup your files from your old card first. I made a video about installing muOS yesterday for the SP and it uses the same file to install for any RG35XX devices. But you will lose the Bluetooth function, and it's not reccomended to use with HDMI out at the moment until an update comes out to fix the audio bugs
I have sound on tv. The Bluetooth controllers can be set to player one in the RetroArch Quick Menu. You can change which port player 2 is. So for example, I can set player 2 Bluetooth controller as ‘Port 1’ and player 1 controller as ‘port 2’ so you can use Bluetooth as player 1
I never used mine, but that is pretty common. They’re pretty generic protectors just to protect the main area of the screen. You could you a different modified one if you wanted, or get a protective case
Yeah 35xx was like that too. 405m had a screen protector that actually fit so I did put that on but the 35xx and 35xxh just have to go without. Think they just have a lot of these 3.5" protectors that don't quite fit they want to get rid of...
Try in an area with no other Bluetooth or wireless devices. It may be possible that your Bluetooth controller will not work with it. I used an Xbox One controller and a Retro Fighters Brawler N64 controller. Also in the RetroArch Quick Menu try setting controller 1 input to ‘port 2’ and then controller 2 input to ‘port 1’ so you can use your Bluetooth controller for port 1 (player 1)
Oh man lol! I couldnt find the menu button. Didnt even see it. (Its on the top to the left of R2. Kinda tiny button.) This was also in the vid but another big relief was emulators wont show up until you add roms. Once u add a game the emulator should pop up on your device. Edit: oh yea. Whole reason I commented. Excellent video! Nothing but useful info packed into under 5 minutes. I didn't need another 40 min review.
@@batpixel I plan on loading up my Saturn collection. You have any experience with performance on this device? I know it's a notoriously hard console to emulate, but I've been surprised how well PSP and DC are running so far so I'm hopeful. Guardian Heroes and Shining Force 3 are two of my faves games but Saturn has been a headache with other handhelds.
I think the UA-cam channel has a video about this where he explores Saturn gameplay, the channel is called TechDweeb. Just like the Dreamcast and N64, I’m sure the Saturn will have hit and miss titles
Haha cool! 😆 lots of different sounding accent areas here on the island. The accent is around 530 years old I think. Some people here sound very Irish and we definitely have lots of culture and ancestry from Ireland
It may not be a possibility. I would suggest putting custom firmware on it using a brand new SD card that is more reliable using your computer. Access your old SD card using your computer for any files needed
It likely has more features and better hardware than something that came out a couple years ago. I haven’t got my hands on the 351 though, but I’m sure there are very detailed videos on it in comparison to this one
Newfoundland, Canada. There is over a 500 year history here with Irish/British and other accents. Many people from here sound very Irish. Glad you enjoyed the video 👌🏻🦇
@@batpixel thanks for the response! So I changed the inputs, but it still seemed to be the old ones, is there something I have to do to finalize the changes
@@jslic13I don’t have access to mine at the moment, but when you make changes in Retroarch you can usually save your changes in the menus. I have a video about mapping a 6 button SEGA Genesis controller in RetroArch where I save everything everywhere lol that might help you out in the mean time
It’s a little laggy sometimes, but playable. I’m going to try custom firmware in the coming weeks and see if the performance improves at all for Vice City Stories and Tony Hawk Pro Skater for N64 etc. and see what settings improve them as well. Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it!
I haven’t tested it but I’ve heard you’ll get around 3-4 hours. There may be some reviews posted that test the battery specifically. It also depends on factors like the screen brightness and what games you’re emulating etc, so it’s variable that way obviously
Yep you can connect multiple controllers and set them up in RetroArch. When you’re on the main menu go into ‘RA Game’ so the games start up using RetroArch
RetroArch supports net play. There is a great video about it by Retro Game Corps and Reddit is a good place to read about it. A lot of people have been on a mission to get Pokemon working with net play, so definitely check out those resources
Great question. I’d personally choose the H because it’s smaller and more ergonomic which I enjoy. But there’s no denying the RGB30 has that beautiful square aspect ratio screen

So it only works sometimes? Maybe it’s a button issue, try changing the shortcut to another button in the RetroArch settings

if that thing exist in old times that would be wipe out instantly
What do you mean wipe out instantly?
I love it but the only problem ive had is it suddenly getting stuck on the startup screen after a few weeks of using it.
It may be worth installing custom firmware with a new reliable SD card, but if it’s only been a few weeks you may be able to get it replaced
Are the preinstalled games as good as on the R36s? I don't want to customize it, just play
What you get might be different than mine. You get a ton of games, but you may not have some first party games like Mario as the SD cards are avoiding getting in trouble with Nintendo now. I’d recommend getting the biggest SD card option for the most games
Where is your accent from. It sounds evenly split between american and irish
Pretty much it! I'm from Newfoundland, Canada. It's an island of only 500,000 people but a big land mass. Lots of history with Ireland
@@batpixel That's really cool, thanks for answering.
No prob and welcome to the channel 😃
Thanks for the tips, they were usefull. I have the rg35xxH console and some times don’t boot. Did you have the same problem? Thank you so much.
I’ve noticed I’ve had to hold my thumb on the power button for a few seconds to get it to turn on today. There is a decent new custom firmware called Koriki that people are loving, but it’s in beta stage and someone commented that Dreamcast isn’t as good as the stock firmware yet
My menu is completely different. I can’t do all the fast forwarding or any of that
Did you open your games under the ‘RA Game’ folder? They may have released different software on the SD card for these. You can also put custom firmware on these using a new SD card from the community
I still can’t figure out if I am able to increase the gamplay speed could you help with that
You should check out RetroArch menu settings such as frameskip and over clocking. Reddit is a good place for resources about gameplay performance within RetroArch
I just one can for some reason I can’t save any of the Pokemon games I’m playing … it just take me back to the beginning
I would suggest trying the shortcut Menu+Dpad left/right to choose a save state to load from, for example Save State 1. Then press the shortcut Menu+R1 to save the state… then make sure you’re loading State 1 with Menu+L1
If that whole process isn’t working, on the main menu of the system, are you going into ‘RA Game’ to start up your games? That will ensure you’re using RetroArch for most of the systems
If that don’t work, try using a standalone emulator from the first option in the main menu, instead of RA Game
I need help when I enter a Dreamcast I added it returns me to the anbernic menu if you have the solution please help
It’s possible you may need a bios file. Search Reddit for Dreamcast emulators
Whats the schmup that youre playing around 4:10-20ish?
I'm just seeing Crash Bandicoot 2 in that time range for the RetroArch shortcuts
Have you tried any Monster Hunter game that it can play? I'm thinking of getting this just to play them.
I have not! There are videos of people playing the PSP version on the 35XX
Any other way to get the n64 to show up I’m waiting for my card reader
It won’t show up without any games in the folder. There are no N64 games on the card you receive
just getting into this stuff i have no clue how to add games or copy things over
There's lots of info out there, but I am not allowed to share that on UA-cam
Hey I’ve been playing the pokemon emerald and I can’t figure out how to use the cheats on them. It’s very possible that I’m just stupid and doing it completely wrong but I’ve been trying to the cheat that gives me exp and it says to press R + A whilst the exp gained is displayed. I’ve tried using both right bumpers and and A at the same time and can’t get it. I’ve also tried the restart button too but that just restarts the system. Ik this is very specific but on the off chance you could me it would be much appreciated
Okay 3 things: First if all, you’re not stupid lol secondly, I have been hearing that people have been having issues with Pokemon emulation across different handhelds, so it may just be the way RetroArch is running the Pokemon games and needs an update. Third thing, I would highly suggest posting this comment on Reddit in a Pokemon/gaming emulation group and see if anyone else has found a solution to this. Reddit is a very good resource for this kind of stuff too
@@batpixel sweet thanks
@@maxeikamp5315let me know if you get it figured out 😄
I juat got my RG35XX H yesterday and sometimes when i boot up the system or game it will go to a blackscreen any way of fixing this problem ? Thank you for your time 🙏🏽
change the core with y button on the rom, if you are using PSX the Swanstation core is the best
or download another ROM, i have problems with the US version of Silent Hill 1 and play the PAL Europe Version of that rom, with some configurations made by me on some points the videos of the game dont works and stuck on a black screen, that problem i resolver by disablle widescrenen hacks and PGXP improvements, and enable afther that events.
Another option besides the cores & ROM files is to change the software. So you could pick up a new reliable SD card and download muOS, just make sure to backup your files from your old card first. I made a video about installing muOS yesterday for the SP and it uses the same file to install for any RG35XX devices. But you will lose the Bluetooth function, and it's not reccomended to use with HDMI out at the moment until an update comes out to fix the audio bugs
Great advice thank you 🙌
Great video. Was the delay on THPS on the N64 or PS?
N64, it worked better on PS1. N64 Can be hit or miss for sure
Ive read that connecting it to tv through HDMI may have no sound, as well as bluetooth controllers always being pre set to player 2. Can you confirm?
I have sound on tv. The Bluetooth controllers can be set to player one in the RetroArch Quick Menu. You can change which port player 2 is. So for example, I can set player 2 Bluetooth controller as ‘Port 1’ and player 1 controller as ‘port 2’ so you can use Bluetooth as player 1
@@batpixel thanks for the quick response. I think I'm going to get one
Let me know how you like it 👌🏻
Did you use the included screen protector mine does even go to the edge of the glass cutting off like .5mm around it, is yours like that?
I never used mine, but that is pretty common. They’re pretty generic protectors just to protect the main area of the screen. You could you a different modified one if you wanted, or get a protective case
Yeah 35xx was like that too. 405m had a screen protector that actually fit so I did put that on but the 35xx and 35xxh just have to go without.
Think they just have a lot of these 3.5" protectors that don't quite fit they want to get rid of...
I can't get it to Bluetooth my controller
Try in an area with no other Bluetooth or wireless devices. It may be possible that your Bluetooth controller will not work with it. I used an Xbox One controller and a Retro Fighters Brawler N64 controller. Also in the RetroArch Quick Menu try setting controller 1 input to ‘port 2’ and then controller 2 input to ‘port 1’ so you can use your Bluetooth controller for port 1 (player 1)
Oh man lol! I couldnt find the menu button. Didnt even see it.
(Its on the top to the left of R2. Kinda tiny button.)
This was also in the vid but another big relief was emulators wont show up until you add roms. Once u add a game the emulator should pop up on your device.
Edit: oh yea. Whole reason I commented. Excellent video! Nothing but useful info packed into under 5 minutes. I didn't need another 40 min review.
Thanks! I’m glad it helped you out, I’ve been trying to keep my videos straight to the point for the most part. Cheers
@@batpixel I plan on loading up my Saturn collection. You have any experience with performance on this device? I know it's a notoriously hard console to emulate, but I've been surprised how well PSP and DC are running so far so I'm hopeful.
Guardian Heroes and Shining Force 3 are two of my faves games but Saturn has been a headache with other handhelds.
I think the UA-cam channel has a video about this where he explores Saturn gameplay, the channel is called TechDweeb. Just like the Dreamcast and N64, I’m sure the Saturn will have hit and miss titles
Are you Irish or American?
WHAT IS THAT ACCENT
Newfoundland, Canada 😄
@@batpixel haha sorry! Between the two I guess?🤣 It makes sense but that has to be one of the most unique accents I’ve ever heard!
Haha cool! 😆 lots of different sounding accent areas here on the island. The accent is around 530 years old I think. Some people here sound very Irish and we definitely have lots of culture and ancestry from Ireland
I see that it have a ps emulator, so I can I get or where can I get ps games?
I am not allowed to share where to get games haha but it does have a good ps emulator
Bro! How do u update the firmware with internet connection? I already connected to wifi but can’t find the upgrade option
It may not be a possibility. I would suggest putting custom firmware on it using a brand new SD card that is more reliable using your computer. Access your old SD card using your computer for any files needed
@@batpixel ohh I see, and which custom firmware are you using or recommend? Thx mate
@@Zerck Koriki has been getting good reviews. But it may affect Dreamcast performance. There are a few out there
Is it better than the rg351?
It likely has more features and better hardware than something that came out a couple years ago. I haven’t got my hands on the 351 though, but I’m sure there are very detailed videos on it in comparison to this one
You have a really interesting accent. Where are you from?
Awesome video btw. Super helpful.
Newfoundland, Canada. There is over a 500 year history here with Irish/British and other accents. Many people from here sound very Irish. Glad you enjoyed the video 👌🏻🦇
@@batpixel oh I was totally going to guess Irish Canadian!! My only frame only frame of reference is Letterkenny.
Hahaha that’s hilarious
Hi, is this custom firmware or the one that comes with it
Came with it 👌🏻
Hey, I have the same device but the only shortcut that works for me is the brightness one, do you know how to fix that?
In the RetroArch settings menu you can find hot keys that are set up and customize your own
@@batpixel thanks for the response! So I changed the inputs, but it still seemed to be the old ones, is there something I have to do to finalize the changes
@@jslic13I don’t have access to mine at the moment, but when you make changes in Retroarch you can usually save your changes in the menus. I have a video about mapping a 6 button SEGA Genesis controller in RetroArch where I save everything everywhere lol that might help you out in the mean time
@@batpixel okay will try that out, thanks!
How is Vice City Stories running? Your video is fantastic! This might replace my RG405M once I am done with it.
It’s a little laggy sometimes, but playable. I’m going to try custom firmware in the coming weeks and see if the performance improves at all for Vice City Stories and Tony Hawk Pro Skater for N64 etc. and see what settings improve them as well. Thanks I’m glad you enjoyed it!
@@batpixel thank you for replying! I am subscribing to your channel and hope to see a new video with cfw perfomance for these platforms. Thanks again!
Awesome, welcome to the channel! 🦇
I heard it ran rough but mine seems fine? Def playable.
Plz gta3
You could port it if you own it
Oh I gotta try rice with n64 games on mine, it's been laggy
Definitely try rice with it. Not every N64 game will run smoothly though. You can try frame skip etc. to help it
@@batpixelyeah I tried it and not much different. Pretty bad for Kirby 64. I’ll try frame skipping
What is the battery life on this?
I haven’t tested it but I’ve heard you’ll get around 3-4 hours. There may be some reviews posted that test the battery specifically. It also depends on factors like the screen brightness and what games you’re emulating etc, so it’s variable that way obviously
Hey, thanks for tips ! Is it possible to Connect 2 controllers to play on tv ?
Yep you can connect multiple controllers and set them up in RetroArch. When you’re on the main menu go into ‘RA Game’ so the games start up using RetroArch
@@batpixel so cool thank you!
You’re welcome! Enjoy🕹🦇
Finally found how to add the n64 thanks
Enjoy 🦇
Rgb30 or this?
I wanna play nintendo ds games like pokemon diamond and mario kart
I'd prefer the H myself, but both are very awesome. The RGB30 may have slightly better performance. I just prefer the form factor
does it support netplay
RetroArch supports net play. There is a great video about it by Retro Game Corps and Reddit is a good place to read about it. A lot of people have been on a mission to get Pokemon working with net play, so definitely check out those resources
Can it play 3ds games?
It’s suited for original DS games, and won’t play 100% of them. These have limited capability after the systems I mentioned
Ok what are the buttons for screenshot????
Menu + B
@@batpixel whats the menu button???
lol on the top next to R2 labelled F. I go over this in the video 😄
Thanks for this review
I’m glad you enjoyed 🦇
This or RGB30?
Great question. I’d personally choose the H because it’s smaller and more ergonomic which I enjoy. But there’s no denying the RGB30 has that beautiful square aspect ratio screen
Great video man.
Thanks, I got some more RG35XX content in the works
I need help on how to get cheats and add souls silver and emerald! Please help
That's beyond what I am allowed to share on UA-cam 😅
Love your Canadian accent!
Thank you 😃
