#rg35xx

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Got myself an #Anbernic #RG35XX Linux based handheld from China. Mainly to play Gameboy and Gameboy Advance games from my childhood.

The build quality of the device did *really* surprise me. It's super hefty plastics, sturdy and has weight to it. Also the buttons are super comfortable and satisfying. It feels like I remember my real Gameboy from back in the day. Just with a (way) better display.

Definitely a pleasant surprise from a sub 50$ device from china.

I tested Gameboy, SNES, Gameboy-Advance, Playstation 1 and Dreamcast games on it and so far, it could run all games well. Under the hood, it's a Linux based system with Retroarch emulators.

Now I can't get the melody of Tetris out of my head again 🤣

I do enjoy using the Anbernic RG35XX PLUS, but certainly the early batches had a flaw...

The headphones can cut out with audio coming and going, and after opening up I could easily see the problem.

The headphones port unit is just sitting on the pads and not soldered on properly. You can even lift the unit!

Once I soldered the joints it's been absolutely fine, but looking online I'm not the only person who had this issue. Saved me sending it back for repair.

I am pretty sure I have spent more time tinkering with my #RG35xx than actually playing games on it. Not in a “trying to make it work” way but in a getting interesting things on it and customizing and curating to my liking.

I feel this is the trap of #sbcgaming and #retrohand where you spend more time fiddling to get the games and system just right as opposed to enjoying playing the systems.

Ordered an ANBERNIC RG35XX Plus Game Console, which was recently released. Ironically I already have the original on its way, but of course they announce an improved version while mine is taking its time to arrive 🤦

For retro gaming on the move, looks to be a fun device which I look forward to exploring.

So I might be catching the bug.

I picked up a #MiyooMiniPlus recently, and have been having fun getting that one working too. It is really pocketable and great for some of the lower end 8 bit systems.

My #C64 was the closest I got to game consoles until I bought my Xbox 360. Never owned any of the handhelds over the years. I'm realizing how much I missed out. And the fun part now is that I can have all those AND the Commodore games I remember.

The Ambernic #RG35XX is the direct competition, and I chose the Miyoo in part because of the Wi-Fi and the Net Play. I will miss the HDMI, but I've also decided that this one really is for the portable small screen experience.

So far so good!

Anyone from the #retrogaming community who can advise me?
I'm thinking of getting a console, but can't decide — #myioominiplus or #rg35xx?

According to the videos, the RG35XX is a nicer size, has better (warmer) display colors, and (probably) has better build quality. But the Miyoo has Wi-Fi (does it have any real use?) and runs #Pico8 games on it. But it's more expensive (and I couldn't find any official store).

And now I just don't know what to choose. 😅
