The RG353M is a solid handheld device. I still use it, but it has been getting less use in recent months. The 35xxh feels almost identical to it and performs nearly the same if you ever need a cheap replacement, though it is not quite as premium, of course. I really did not mind the 40xxh considering the price, but it does feel cheap, especially if you are coming from a 353m.

Also subbed. Let's see it grow bb.

You are good; it has no issues with any 16-bit titles I have tried. They looks great, and all the titles I have tested run without any hiccups or stutter.

Interesting! I had no idea that the original and V2 used a BlackBerry Bold screen.

@muzzworks It's the screen from the Blackberry Bold 9900. Basically, after a while them screens were harder to source hence the change to a different panel. Updated to the new Onion OS beta which only came out 2 days ago which made me put down the Retroid Pocket 5 & enjoy/appreciate the Mini. (Remember no GPU/3d processor in this amazing device, yet everything it's capable of running, it runs perfectly!

Let me know what part didn't work. I will try to help out.

@@muzzworks Thanks! When I add games into the Best/xxx/Roms, I can see them in the list, but all games are unable to run.

Based on the issue it could be a few things. I believe roms need to be uncompressed. Also, check the supported list of supported rom extensions. Take a look here for a nice template with a bit more details on rom extensions for each core : github.com/acatone-git/TSP-CustomCollection

@ Wow! Thank you so much! I will try it out!

I don't have a stock card on hand right now, as I am away on a trip, but if it is not included in stock, it should be available in Crossmix OS. I would just wait for the official Crossmix release and upgrade to Crossmix.

Sorry, looks like these were included in some review units. They are available as a separate purchase. Sorry about the confusion.

CrossMix is essentially an improved stock. Definitely setting it up once it is available or if you can get a preconfigured card, it might be worth getting it.

I think you can grab the base image from their GitHub page right here: github.com/trimui

You're welcome! Glad you enjoyed the video.

I love my Miyoo Mini Plus. Great device, but the Brick is a nicer looking device with an amazing screen. I think if someone already has a Miyoo Mini Plus, I wouldn't recommend upgrading. If you are trying to decide between the two, well, the Brick is a better value in my opinion.

I have both and the brick is strictly better, the screen is amazing, onion is good but minui is very underrated

@@muzzworks I will go for it when the price goes a little lower, it will be my first, I want to use for gba Pokemon hack roms, do you know if it is possible to play games made by RPG maker, because I saw the app easy rpg and it could be interesting to know

I have never tried it, but EasyRPG is comparable with games made in RPG Maker. So it is included, but I am not sure how accurate or full-featured it is.

I have a ver of crossmix os on my own trimui brick but, it's from a different seller. Setup is easy but, I got a preconfigured sd card.

As far as I am aware, it has not been officially released but like @waitingcoyote1963 said some sellers do have preconfigured sd-cards that are being sold with the device for an additional fee.

Yeah, I hear you. I think it is better than stock but you are right about it touching at the extremes. There may be a different brand that is a bit taller but you would have to experiment a bit. You can always go with the retroid official 3+ hall sticks if the range bothers you.

Thanks! I appreciate the sub as well.

No, If you are just playing normally I doubt the viewing angle factors in at all. If someone is looking at your gameplay from an angle then, yeah, they may notice but that is an edge case.

They are great! Every time I pick one up my 9y old inner kid is amazed. Enjoy the new device!

Ooh, yes, that would be interesting and a must buy for me. If I had to make a full wish list for my ideal Miyoo Mini OLED, it would also include all-metal body and Wi-Fi as well.

@@muzzworksmiyoo anvil?

No problem and thanks ☺!

New color and the screen is a bit of a give and take but yeah, still mostly the same great mini. Which is nice to see. LitNXT can be more expensive depending on where you live in the world. Shop around, some have better luck with ali express and amazon.

For sure. You get so much with this little handheld.

It is still a solid machine. The RP4 and pro may come down in price once the RP5 is rleased later this month. So you may be able to score one of those at a discount.

Not for PS2. It can reach up to Dreamcast and it struggles a bit so definitely will not play PS2 games.

​@@KalboVello maybe you have some recommendation for some handheld like this to emulat PS2 games like NFS UG/MW? 😅

Like @KalboVello said, it can play Dreamcast and below. Take a look at the Retroid Pocket Mini, Retroid Pocket 4 Pro, Anbernic RGCube, or Anbernic RG406v. These are more mid-tier priced devices, but they are capable of playing PS2 and GameCube libraries.

@@muzzworks great much thanks for this i will check it 🔥

Looks cool🔥

That's what she said...

@@Kevin-Schmevin 4 inches, she's never had it so good 😂

When all you're working with is 3.5 inches, that extra half inch can make or break your experience. ... That's also what she said.

Yeh my preference is the 40XXH as well.

It happens. I appreciate the comment! I hope the review was helpful.

They don't flare out much but that plus the sticks does make it less portable and pocketable. Sound like the 35XXH is better for your needs.

Thanks for the sub!

They connected with me, but I am sure you can reach out through their site to inquire.

Lol, thanks for subscribing. I appreciate the support.

No, exactly the same performance.

Thanks for the sub and great feedback. Yeah, the cardinal snapping of the sticks is a bit of an oversight on my end.

Yeah, many of the Anbernic devices resemble small Steam Decks, but to be fair to Anbernic and many of the other retro handheld manufacturers, the Steam Deck is fairly generic looking as well. :)

For sure you can, but there is something about a dedicated handheld that makes the experience better. For the majority of emulation, the performance isn't really what matters. The experience really plays a huge part. A decent Android controller attachment + a decent phone will for sure deliver better performance. The processors in the flagships today (or like you said even the ones from 4y ago) will run circles around 99% of these devices.

​@@muzzworks this

It is a tough choice, and it changes a lot with the pending release of the RP5 and Mini. For me, I use the RGCube for just about every game except the PSP library or the harder to run PS2 games; for those, I use a Steamdeck or RP4 Pro. The RGCubes portability and comfort make a huge difference. I would suggest considering the RGCube or waiting a few weeks to grab the RP4P if and when the price drops. If the price does not drop, consider getting an RP5 if you don't mind the size increase. You will also soon have the RP Mini as an option so take a look at that one as well. Lots of choices, all great ones. I don't think you will be disappointed with either choice.

@@muzzworks The reason I'm trying to pick right now is Amazon's going to give me 50% refund because they messed up a shipping issue so I'm trying to pick between the RG Cube and RP4+ I currently have the RG405M so I'm looking for somebody's opinion who played both

Ah, that changes things a bit, as you already have a more portable 405M. Go with the RP4Pro. It gives you access to all the widescreen systems (PS2, GC hacks, and some Switch) and provides a nice performance boost over the 405M. You can still use your 405M for all your 4:3 and lower games. The RP4Pro is a better all-around device, and at a 50% discount, it is a no brainer. It does everything the Cube does and more, so you have more options for playing your library if you diversify your handhelds a bit more.

@@muzzworks see my other dilemma is in a once device type of dude I don't like to play on multiple devices

@@SoulForMany Well, RP4Pro will play all that you are interested in, as long as you don't mind the larger pillar boxing. So, if it's one device for everything, then RP4P might be your better choice. You can also look into syncing your save data using syncthing if that is what is keeping you from using multiple devices. Syncthing running on android devices is quite easy to setup so setting it up on the 405M and RP4Pro would be easy enough see RGC guide : retrogamecorps.com/2024/08/11/guide-using-syncthing-with-retro-handhelds

Performance is good. It is only a 720p screen, so low settings and bumping up the FPS work well. The biggest issue is the same as on most small phones: small fonts and text can be hard to read. You are also taking a non-zero risk of being banned with the keymapping. I have not heard of anyone being banned using Anbernic's keymapper, though, and I have used it without any issues. For a quick play session in bed or on the go, it is good. I would not use it as my primary device to play Genshin Impact; go with the RP4 Pro or wait for the Retroid Pocket 5 reviews, as it will have a bigger screen and Retroid also has a touchscreen keymapper for Android.

I will do you one better and give you my top 5: Stramdeck, RP4 pro, RGCube, Miyoo Mini Plus, PS Vita.

@@muzzworks Stramdeck 🤣 thats a new one

Lol :)

I bought only the device too. In the emulator menu above are options to enable controllers that should works

Gunbarich, released in 2001 in arcades, I believe. It has been ported to Steam (PC) and Switch as well, if I remember correctly.

@@muzzworks thanks

Agreed, the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro is better overall. The RG Cube is better in some areas, i.e., d-pad, portability, and ergonomics.

Rp4p is the définition of uncomfortable, even with the grip its awful to hold for more than 2 minuts. I returned mine

I wanna get on so bad. Ps2 on the go sounds crazy

@@JBentham1523 maybe you have bigass hands because I have medium hands and it's super comfortable with the grip.

@@juniorelizondo4144 i dont u just know nothing about premium until you try something like the odin 2. Rp4p is trash. Its like playing on a toaster

Thanks, I appreciate it and I'm happy that this is helpful. The RG353P upgrade should be very similar to this one. Good luck and enjoy.
