Anbernic RG35XX :: Worth Tinkering??

[@TheMultiGenGamer]

What other tweaks and mods would you recommend for the RG35XX? Stay safe ♥

[@StephanHradek]

Maybe it's worth linking to the websites where you got the tweaks from? Or please listing them as text so that we can search for it? Mine will arrive next week (I hope) and I need to get the tweaks implemented by June 4th because I want to take the Anbernic on my trip to Dublin.

[@ffttossenz]

U can change menu+L1 to be rewind instead of slow down. Having a rewind button is so useful, since u can quickly correct any misinputs and avoid having to replay the same content u already played, just make sure u have enough memory for rewind buffer

[@HauntedCorpseGaming]

Did the D-Pad tape mod tonight, totally worth it. :)

[@HauntedCorpseGaming]

There are some cool 3D print trigger addons for this on CuIts 3D, you just double sided (or glue) them to the triggers instead of opening it.

[@TheHatchetgash]

for a moment today when it arrived i was a bit disappointed. i have modded my vita and dsi and am doing mods on my wii and have plans for my xb360. so having watched this and seeing that it does have the potential i hoped for makes me VERY happy about my purchase

[@Padgriffin]

Holy heck- you genuinely did a brilliant job with this video, definitely underrated for the quality of your vids. Keep it up mate, and you’ve definitely earned a sub.

[@BrokenControllerClub]

That's wild, I just bought mine this week and the label on the console's rear says it's a 2600 mah battery and the case that it came in was the size of a hard drive travel case, but it has the indentation to specifically fit the console. Very much enjoyed watching this - keep it up!

[@aquabesto]

When i got my Anbernic RG351V the first thing i did was install AmberELEC on a proper branded, high quality micro sd card, i would recommend it to everyone who uses that partical model. I'm glad you were able to get your model running awesome.

[@chiccohuang1972]

I own both RG351V and RD35XX. RG351V with AmberElec/JELOS and RG35XX with GarlicOS. I just want to let you know: RG351V and RG35XX are quite different. RG351V can provide beautiful interface and decent gaming but the booting time is quite long. RG35XX is a handy machine whiche you can just play games in any short period of time, quick boot and super fast turn-off with state saved. Highly recommended you have both of them.

[@TXFDA]

Honestly, I'd recommend doing that regardless of the brand or model. Any micro sd card an emulation handheld comes with, is going to be a cheapo no-name brand card that's likely to break at some point. And they're always filled with random roms. A lot of times the file names have numbers at the start that mean nothing, and makes browsing through your games a bit of a pain. There's a ton of duplicates from different regions. And some don't even have an English version. Not to mention the usual kind of bootlegs and rom hacks you'd find on a crappy famiclone, just mixed into the middle of everything else. First thing I did when I got my Miyoo Mini Plus, was get a new Samsung sd card, and install OnionOS and copy my own roms over. The stock cards are really only worth using long enough to test the console out when you first get it to make sure it's all working. Even if you, for some reason, actually WANT the contents on the stock card, I'd at least recommend copying that contents to a better card.

[@Coops92]

Picked one of these up for £17. Seemed a no-brainer and a great entry into emulation.

[@marcosr.2681]

This is the first time I see that screen up close with GBA games. I wasn't convinced they were going to look crisp because of not being integer scaled, but they do!

[@corvustiberius3591]

I've had this for a couple months now. I love it. I've tinkered with it quite a bit, and it's awesome that it can be a little project. I love that it's so close to the original Gameboy. My mother bought me an original DMG when I was young, and I have fond memories because of this. I got some custom stickers for the back too resembling the DMG product label and the 1-800 number sticker that was on the back of the SNES. It's so f'n cool now. Got me a sweet little case very similar to yours. Also, good gift. Very sweet.

[@TXFDA]

Similar to what I plan to do with my Miyoo Mini Plus. I got the clear purple one, so I want it to look a bit more like the Atomic Purple Game Boy Color. Replace the maroon ABXY buttons with black buttons, add a replica GBC back label on it. Just gotta wait until I get some extra money. Replacement ABXY buttons are like $13+shipping. The sticker is about $6+shipping. Which isn't a ton, BUT, I also just spent about $95 total on the Miyoo and a new SD card. So I'm not super interested in dropping another $20-30 on it right now. Not in a huge rush anyway, I'll fix it up a little as I go.

[@STR82DVD]

Agreed. Completely agree.

[@fervinlopez8560]

The little amount of views baffled me, keep it up these videos are great !

[@vid6819]

I did my part and subscribed

[@MudSluggerBP]

I’ve got the translucent purple one and I love it, plugging a PS controller into it and attaching it to a TV is a lovely way to play PS1 games 👍🏻

[@henrikmonkee]

Mine arrived yesterday just in time. I really love it because it has the perfect size for me plus i get to play all of my favs devices, gbc/gba/snes/neogeo. Final conclusion. Nostalgia override. 👍👍

[@adammackenzie]

Great video...thanks & game on !

[@evilzombie]

I have a few emulation consoles but am really digging this vertical form factor because I started with a Gameboy as well. I think ill order one of these because I do love tinkering

[@MsOniHime]

I like it too. I still use the stock os and got no problem with save & load state, they work fine.

[@TheMultiGenGamer]

That's great to hear! Maybe my OG micro SD is a bit duff.

[@RemyBonnici]

I still rock the stock OS with no issues, in fact I prefer it to my Mini + with Onion!

[@3xperiment8]

I switched to GarlicOS because my in-game saves on Snes didn't store for some reason. Once I closed and restarted Snes games, saves were gone

[@RemyBonnici]

@3xperiment the first thing I did was buy a Samsung sd card and transfer everything to that because the ones that come with it are cheap and not reliable. Not to say that's the issue but that isn't a common issue I've heard (but sucks that you had that problem)

[@3xperiment8]

@@RemyBonnici I see. That's common for other people I've heard too. What I didn't get was why It happened only on Snes emulator. Now I'm running GarlicOS on a New sd card and I'm enjoining it. And yeah, the sd card which comes with the console is made of paper lol

[@quintenlizardmen2497]

1:38 I hope showing the original GB with that crisp aftermarket screen doesn't make younger viewers think that's the way it looked while this guy was "growing up with it"

[@poshpaul55]

Hi there im just going to get one very soon thanks for doing this video

[@RP123lolololol]

That tape for the dpad trick makes sence, I will try it, thank you

[@adamkane7513]

It's always worth having a good tinker... ...just don't hurt your _tonker!_

[@guardianbeardizer6361]

I did the D-Pad mod & different color face buttons mod to mine. Also added the Aliexpress battery (mine was 2100Mah & the new one was 2800, so it gave me an extra hr of gameplay)

[@hatchxable]

I actually put the Box Arts to the right and the texts to the left. Some long name tittles overlap the Box Arts but at least that way they aren't cut off from the screen. It seems more natural IMO.

[@MotownBatman]

New Sub! Detroit, Michigan, US I just got 4 of these for my Daughters, I was sick of buy Wish crap for $20.00 a pop that never work. This was well worth the money. I need to figure out how to get the Artwork & themes Tweaked properly on AnbernicOS & GarlicOS (Mine has the newest DualBoot option with 2 xd slots) Well Done!

[@voteDC]

With very rare exception I far prefer using emulation over my real hardware these days. I have more demands on my time than ever and so having save states is absolutely amazing to me, no more having to leave my console on to maintain my position in game or losing progress.

[@northsouthy74]

Great video, could you do a tutorial on what you think we should turn off or on after installing the latest version GarlicOS?

[@VideoGameJNPoop]

2:41 - For older consoles, I would recommend using American ROMs rather than European ROMs for the most part to make the game run at 60HZ rather than the slower 50HZ. Weird to see that this includes Japanese ROMs when it is sold in English countries too, especially when you can literally import Japanese versions on their real hardware cheaper, that's my option on collecting believe it or not, I prefer to get Japanese versions on older systems because their not only better for me but also cheap most of the time, maybe cheaper than US or European versions. 6:17 - As for box arts, whatever version of a game you have on the RG35XX you could still use (for example) European box arts but have American ROMs or vice versa. I'm assuming your still prefer European covers, especially when showing what BBFC, ELSPA and/or PEGI ratings are on the cover art for each game (if they have them anyway as some may not because their either unrated by those or are rated but the box art is like a limited edition or something similar).

[@scarm_rune]

vimm's lair sometimes only provides a jap version for their roms that's why they're there

[@guddaboi]

This dude wrote what I was supposed to write. :) Also, for Amiga games it shouldn't be necessary to enable threaded video, but instead try locking the refresh rate to 50hz as 99.9% of all Amiga games are PAL.

[@smallpaul2923]

Great video mate!!!! I have just picked one up for £26.32 from temu!!!!!! Thats insane 😂

[@JonLeung1]

I got an Analogue Pocket at the start of the year after waiting 13 months for it. I installed all the cores to be able to play a lot of stuff. But even then, I've literally only booted it up for a few minutes like three times. It's a great device, with an incredible screen, but a premium price to match. I'm almost afraid to use it. I've been debating about if I should sell it and get an Anbernic RG35XX for far cheaper, and even if the screen isn't as good as the Analogue Pocket I'm sure I would feel more comfortable about using it everywhere. Plus, PlayStation games.

[@TXFDA]

"It's a bit strange to be able to play my Amiga games on here, but that's where we are now." I definitely feel that. I grew up playing the original Game Boy, NES, SNES, Game Gear, etc. So, every so often I just stop and think about it for a second, and realize how absolutely insane it is that I now have something SMALLER than the original Game Boy, that can play pretty much any and every console up to the PS1. It's nothing new, but just every now and then it hits me how ridiculous technology has gotten. As for if it's worth tinkering. I'd say yes and no. Yes, if it's the only emulation handheld you plan to use for a good while. No, if you have like 20 other emulation handhelds. For me, I don't plan to get any more after the most recent one. Mind you, I have a Miyoo Mini Plus, not an RG35XX, but let's face it, they're near identical. But yeah, I don't plan to get another one any time soon, SO, I want this one to be as nice as possible. Which means making it work just the way I want, getting all the box art images set up (including making custom ones for rom hacks), getting overlays/image borders set up for some systems, getting filters set up each system, making sure all my stuff is named right, etc, etc. I also plan to do some small aesthetic mods to my Miyoo Mini Plus too, at some point, when I get the money. I got the Atomic Purple Miyoo, but I dislike the button colors. They used that purple/maroon button color for the ABXY buttons. I wanna replace them with black ABXY buttons to match the Atomic Purple Game Boy Color a bit more. I also wanna get a replica Game Boy Color back label to put on my Miyoo, just because. MIGHT look into those slanted shoulder buttons too, in black, but I haven't decided on that yet.

[@adamduffield7782]

It can even play n64 games pretty well with the koriki OS. Check it out its pretty cool. Ordered mine and waiting for it to arrive in the post.

[@themadmoderator8465]

i had one of these till my pokemon daft kids got hold of it. they love it. i got the RG505 for myself and waiting for the 353PS now lol

[@KevinsHope]

I actually really like mine. It came with Garlic OS as a alternative that you could use simply by activating it in apps.

[@renonsuerte8275]

[@Phaze101]

Have you tried the Commodore 8 Bit machines on Garlic OS? Like the C64 and C128? Also what tweaks did you do for the Amiga? I would love if you could do a video regarding this or these. Anyway thanks and keep up the good work.

[@TheMultiGenGamer]

I've not tried C64/C128 games on it as I've only been focused mostly on systems/games I already own. For the Amiga, the only tweak specifically for that was to enable Threaded Video. Thanks for the support!

[@poshpaul55]

hi love your love you video its great but i can't the colovison runing don;t know how to fix it

[@3xperiment8]

I accidentally found a game that can't be played on this device for some reason. Once you get into the menu controls oddly stop working. It's "The Great Battle VI". For Ps1. If someone is able to play this one, please let me know

[@CapFlipGaming]

Miyoo mini is too small for my medium size hands. Just ordered the RG35XX for $36 shipped. Can't beat that!

[@davidc6836]

[@djwoody249]

Great video, thanks. How do you scale the text in game lists? Have managed to sort the box art but the game list text is too large and goes off the right of the screen!!!

[@hatchxable]

Go to folder CFW > lang > open the file of your language with a text editor. Then change the value next to "font-size" to a lower number, save it...

[@hatchxable]

It might still go off the screen if the tittle of the game is too long. What I did was placing the Box Arts to the right and the texts to the left side of the screen. Some long game tittles might overlap the Box Arts but at least they aren't cut off from the screen. For Box Art if you used the imagemagick program For smaller Box Arts magick mogrify -extent 640x480 -gravity East -background none * For bigger Box Arts magick mogrify -resize 340x480 -extent 640x480 -gravity East -background none * For text In order to realign the text to match the image. On your SD1 card, navigate to CFW > skin > settings and open it with a text editor. Within this file, make these two changes: "text-alignment": "left", "text-margin": 16,

[@djwoody249]

[@jonasborgstrom4111]

Great video, thank you! Does it play GBA flawlessly in Garlic?

[@TheMultiGenGamer]

I can honestly say I haven't noticed any issues with GBA games, besides it stretching to fill the screen by default. That can be fixed in the settings in a matter of seconds though.

[@Akstergrind]

Hi, I'm just after a bit of advice if possible please? You mentioned Garlic OS and there's an option on Amazon that's a "Dual System Linux GarlicOS" for £64.99. Would it be worth a novice like myself getting this version, or better just to stick with one of the more (possibly) straightforward versions with just the standard OS? Many thanks.

[@TheMultiGenGamer]

I think all RG35XX's now (the standard one, not the plus or the H models) come with dual OS's now, with one of them being GarlicOS.

[@ianproductions5540]

Can this run 2d snes games such as super mario world or super mario world rom hacks at full speed on the stock firmware?

[@TheMultiGenGamer]

I never tried (unsurprisingly, no Mario ROMs are included on the stock micro SD card) though theoretically they should run OK since other SNES ROMs work on it.

[@JosueRivasphotography]

Yes it’s the best handheld console ever and I just managed to get my Pokemon games hacked so I can evolve some Pokémon’s that requires trading and it worked perfectly fine

[@KouyaSakurada]

Isn’t GarlicOS the stock OS now? I bought two that came with Garlic installed and it works wonderfully.

You can do either, but I'd recommend using one of your own as the one that comes with it isn't the best quality.

[@MrPyromonkey1220]

Is it possible to move your pokemon from there to Nintendo home though?

[@TheMultiGenGamer]

Theoretically you can, but I don't think it'd be worth it. You'd need to have the original game, transfer your save to that original cart (using something like a Submodule GB01), and then transfer them through each generation of games until you reached one that supports Home.
