I really like this device. It's the most comfortable small handheld I own. It replaced my Miyoo Mini as the handheld that goes in my pocket all the time.
I got the miyoo mini and it's super cute, but it's super uncomfortable to play with anything that use triggers. Like some GBA and most PS1 games. An horizontal device is probably the best for me.
Yeah. The Miyoo mini is available in my country. If i order today its here tommorow. But im hesitating. The only reason i would buy it is because its quite stealthy 😃
not this one. triggers are less comfortable to use than the vertical rg35xx Plus. Avoid squares and rectangles at all costs. Your best bet is probably to just hack CFW onto a Switch Lite.
Number 1 thing I can say about this little guy: the screen size and resolution means those old 8 and 16 bit games look GREAT. Haven't even been tempted to apply any shaders.
I'm glad you talked about size of this handheld (you are one of the few). Question : first I would like to buy the RG35xxplus because I prefer vertical devices. But I'm 1.96m and I have proportionally (big) hands. So I was afraid it is too short for me (too much discomfort with time). But I thought it will be better in horizontal... In your opinion comfort is improving with the rg35xxH? Thanks a lot!
MHFU uses dpad for camera, not the shoulders. But yeah, having the 2nd analog stick is an easy rebind and a better MHFU/P3G experience. Also not the first Monster Hunter, but definitely a lot of Hunters' first Monster Hunter. MHFU is the Grank/Master Rank version of the 2nd gen portable. :) Great vid by the way... I have a retroid pocket 3+ and a steam deck, but um picking this up for its size and 4:3 aspect ratio.
I just wish there was an easier way to update the software . Tried the alpha for koriki or whatever which worked well except the WiFi and the function button not working . Wish anbernic made a more informative easier way of updating the console.
@@jonthecarguy I just saw that my comment got deleted twice: the only three that I know is here on UA-cam, discord and GitHub (definitely not the best one)
Would recommend this or the Retroid Pocket 2s? Seems like they’re similarly priced right now and I’m looking to get a horizontal handheld to compliment my Miyoo Mini +
Hey, loved the video. Been looking for something like this, I’d mainly be revisiting my childhood and binging all the GBA Pokémon games - assume they’re pre-loaded? Also, would this run Pokemon Hearthold (DS Game)? Thanks 😊
I also have big hands, and I find my old 351P quite uncomfortable to play for longer than 20 minutes. How would you compare them regarding size and comfort? I mean, my hands really start to hurt after 30 minutes of playing the 351P, and if I play it many days in a row, it starts hurting even when I'm not playing at all. It actually makes me play waaay less than I wanted to. I'm considering the RG35XX H over the regular vertical version only because of the analog sticks, but my problems with its predecessor make me uncertain about it.
I just get my rg35xx H yesterday. It was marvelous at first all about the console is good... till i remove the sd card (for checking i guess) and put them back on. And after that only anbernic logo appeared. I think it just a small error therefore i check the internet if i can fix it .and then i found out about the hard way of fixing it... advice for those who want this console.. please do a little search about this first tho❤
It's not that hard, is just paste a folder on a program to flash a SD card. It looks hard, but is actually pretty easy, just follow a guide and you're cool
Same for me except I did not even touch the SD card. All these UA-camrs are avoiding this topic because they make money on advertising this piece of crap.
@@grim0sThe hardware is excellent for the price, it's the stock SD cards they come with that are notoriously bad. If you're interested in owning one and want to upload your own collection of roms, you may as well look into flashing an OS to an SD card (SanDisk or Samsung are the safest bets) yourself. It's easy and it's actually pretty rewarding.
Make sure you either copy the data from the stock sd card and onto a new one or take it out in between charging. My sd card got corrupt in-between charging the system.
they come with some games preloaded, but id recommend loading your own if you have some. Id also recommend moving off the stock OS if you are technically savvy and can do that kind of thing. If not then the stock OS and games it comes with are great. Hope this helps!
Dose this over heat? Coz i bought a Powkiddy and it heated so much after a week of gaming and stopped charging, dose this have the same problem? Be honest I don’t wanna spend money on something that will stop working Powkiddy has fake 5 star reviews
Can you trade pokemon with these devices with other players? A friend of mine and I miss playing Fire Red and Leaf Green, and I haven't found a solid answer to this.
I search for a device where I can put on a second external controller 🎮 (like the 8bitdo) via USB and play with a friend via the HDMI output on tv. Do you know any device?
They are advertising it to have HDMI out and Bluetooth support for game controllers. How well does this thing work for hooking up to a TV and connecting two Bluetooth game controllers to play two players games?
@@calebwooldridge242 I thought this meant you could map combinations such L1 + a direction on the analog stick for games that let you hold L1 to pan the camera like the prince of persia series, but it does not. You can map one button the a combination, but you can't press one button or direction on the joypad to represent a combination. This only works if your game uses the face buttons for camera so you just map the face buttons to the right analog stick.
I have a ton of modded devices that can do everything this console can do and more. However, they are prized possessions and I would feel more comfortable taking this with me as a go to/day to day device that I don't have to worry about breaking. Playing PSP with 2 analog sticks would be nice too.
Zero Mission, played through it about a week ago. It was my second Metroid game after getting Prime Remastered about a week prior to that. Loving them so far.
These handhelds play many, many different gaming systems: NES, SNES, Mega Drive, arcade, Lynx, PC Engine, DOS, PlayStation, etc. etc.... so yes, there's many sports games.
I'd buy this if it had 6 action buttons like RG ARC-S/D, same Sega D-Pad as RG ARC, same CPU as RG ARC, no joysticks but front-facing dual speakers of very good quality and 4 inch screen while remaining the same form factor and price
Probably depends on the game. Don't think playing something like the kirby rainbow game would be ideal without a proper touchscreen but for games that use more sparingly could be fine.
yes I noticed that too, they are probably the same panel but next to others you can see a slight difference. In person playing it I didn't notice until I put them side by side.
Could anyone help me I’m trying to find something to play a lot of Nintendo ds games specifically fossil fighters is this a good option or should I go for something that’s a bit more price wise I’m just new to retro hand helds and have no clue what I’m doing lmao
id buy one but i always see a lot of people moaning they stop working after a few weeks/months, so i think ill spend the extra money and get a ps vita or a "new" 3ds XL and mod them as they both play upto ps1 very well and it wont just randomly stop working like these Chinese devices
You don't know how much I appreciate the squishy vs clicky thing. Thank you, it's silly yet honestly such an important piece of information for me.
No problem I think it's a fun edit too.
For future reference, rubber membrane = squishy, Dome switch = clicky
