I definitely will get one of those. Either this or the 405v is my next buy

[@theraz12]

Bought a pair for my wife and myself around Xmas and my only complaint is that I wish Ambernic would have done a bit more QA on the included games. We've already run into a lot of games that either won't launch, or hang at certain points when playing. And I'm not talking PSP or PS1, mostly stuff on the lower end, so most likely bad roms. We're not emulator super-users and we didn't get these to do a lot of tinkering and modding, so maybe they can be fixed by finding better versions to replace them, or maybe the upcoming OS might help. Still impressed with the hardware, just wish the roms were curated better.

[@DaveyG]

yeah, having your own library really helps for roms. but the hardware is quite cool. I also like the rom hacks on here.

[@keeptv1918]

Cool video and this definitely seems like a really interesting device I like how it seems to be kind of like an ultra-gameboy!

I have a 35xx plus and it runs smooth like butter up to PS1, not on PSP there are stutters here and there but aside from that it has been great so far. I am excited for new the new OS to come out.

[@volkanakdemir4186]

Can this thing allow us to transfer pokemons in gba or ds games ? Or is there any retro console that can do that ? Thanks guys !

[@munti109]

I alredy ordered one, one of the seling points was the ability to use the hdmi with the bluetoth controlers, it will replace my rpi4 and be portable, also the nostalgia feel od the grey one.

How come your discounted link price is higher than the official website price?

[@belladonna5012]

If it's running a Linux-based OS, can it run Proton? I don't have any expectation that it'd be able to handle the vast majority of PC games these days, but there are some old or retro-styled games that I could see running on budget-smartphone-tier chips if there's a working compatibility layer.

[@NGreedia]

Waiting for my orders for the alanlogue pocket and Rg35xx plus. Also modified a gbc with an IPS LC and it's been amazing. very good point about using a pocket device vs emulating on a pc. I lose interest quickly when trying to play a handheld game on a pc

[@Lucifronz]

5:52 Just since you brought it up, there's a romhack you can apply to your game that removes the DS touchscreen requirements from the first Castlevania DS game. The others don't have this issue, from what I hear, so you just have to patch the one and then you can play it normally. There are also other great titles for DS you could play with a single screen, like Chrono Trigger, as that was released on DS with the old SNES single-screen style as an optional toggle, and I highly recommend that game, even though I'm sure most people know about or have played it themselves.

[@Bchristophxr]

Ooohhh forgot about chrono trigger on ds! Had as a kid when i was younger and never finished. Gonna add it to mine tn, thank you!!

Since making this video, have you played any more of the Pokémon DS games and know if their performance is good throughout? It’s one of the main reasons I want this

[@StrikerXL_BE]

I currently have a grey model, but i love the black transparent model as well. I’m using the base MinUI which isn’t a bad front-end firmware, but I can’t seem to let the additional extra part work. Also I kinda hope Garlic OS will be ready in a few weeks or months to install on the plus model.

[@XObitoXSaviorX]

If you and a friend have one can you battle each other on pokemon or does it not support that?

[@nathanhouston5]

How are you meant to complete Pokédex’s if you can’t trade?

[@matthewscott3689]

I'm just getting into all of the retro gaming emulators, so as an entry point would you recommend the RG35XX Plus (currently without additional OS support) or going with the Miyoo Mini Plus and getting OnionOS? I'm mostly interested in playing Pokemon games, so does the RG35XX Plus have an internal clock allowing for night/day features in Pokemon? I don't think the Miyoo Mini Plus offer that. What do you think would be the best for a beginner right now between these two? Thanks!

[@DaveyG]

This one is my current recommended, it's a bit larger and I like that. The additional OS support will come, and I'm not totally sure on the clock.

[@bolinha3479]

I’m in the same situation as you and I just can’t decide. Also gonna play a lot of Pokémon on the handheld. The Anbernic has an internal clock, the Miyoo doesn’t but with onion os it kinda emulates one but it’s not ideal. For me the anbernic being bigger is a good advantage since I have big hands, and I heard that its screen is better. However, everyone praises onion os a lot, and some people say the miyoo has a better build quality. I just can’t decide

[@matthewscott3689]

@@bolinha3479 I ended up getting the Anbernic, the internal clock works great. Not sure if it’s the better overall choice and I still feel like I’m missing out by not getting the mini. I preferred the power of the Plus, asi has a better size and an HDMI out port (not that I’ll ever use it). The button rattle slightly though and the OS system right now sucks. Plays Pokémon just fine though

[@bolinha3479]

@matthewscott3689 I think the Anbernic is better for Pokémon overall. The RG35XX+ is the better choice, I think, it's just a matter of time until it gets a nicer OS made by the community. Since it has Wi-Fi, are you able to trade Pokémon? Other than retroachievements and scraping boxarts I don't think Wi-Fi is a deal breaker for me, if I'm not even able to trade Pokémon trough Wi-Fi I may just get the regular RG35XX, it's cheaper, bigger than the Miyoo and also has a better screen, and since it's older than the + it already has a better OS available for it. I think you made a good choice going for the RG35XX+, eventually they'll port GarlicOS for it. BTW don't forget to download your own ROMs for the system as some of the ROMs that come pre downloaded on the SD card can be kinda funky and glitch out sometimes.

[@neppgalnun]

I was wondering whether or not to upgrade from my regular rg35xx but I’ll wait for now !

[@DaveyG]

Once some custom firmware drops I think that would be decode time.

[@Lucifronz]

Once this thing has hardware acceleration it will be the clear better option. Without owning an RG35XX it was already a better option, but... for those who own one already, I would definitely wait. Really, I think if you want an upgrade, you're better off not getting anything like the RG35XX Plus and instead opting for something a bit more powerful. I just don't think it's worth upgrading to this even if it can play some N64 or Dreamcast titles. There will be drawbacks and options you'll have to toggle anyway just to get many of them to play smoothly. Some will be fine that way, using frameskipping and the like, but others are going to be noticeable and in some cases downright bad depending on your perspective and the RG35XX Plus lacks sticks. If you like the horizontal design at all, the H model of the RG35XX that was just announced recently would probably be a better option for an upgrade that's similar in power and (presumably) price. However, if _I_ wanted to get an upgrade, I'd save up to get a device that can run at least GameCube or PS2 titles with some sticks included. Though not a vertical design in that case, as those designs look awful.

[@MeXz34]

[@Lucifronz]

I couldn't get behind the Miyoo Mini Plus because of both aesthetics and ergonomics. It's just too small and the start and select button are positioned *terribly* likely as a result of that. Originally, I was looking at the RG35XX and then eventually I learned of the Plus version and that's the one I have now. I'm just waiting on GarlicOS 2.0 to get into a more usable state, as right now it's just an alpha with no hardware acceleration and no compatibility with its functions like wifi (it's capable of it, but the UI has no way of interacting with it, so essentially the options are not available as of yet). With black-seraph catching pneumonia, his work has been delayed, which *sucks* but hopefully he's back on it by now and will release the next version of GarlicOS 2.0 soon. In the meantime I'm just using this to play Tetris every once in a while. Hardly what I bought it for, I wanted an effective PS1 emulation handheld, but I noticed significant slowdown while messing around with Tomb Raider III and even if I hadn't, I don't want to play any of my games until wifi is enabled at the least so that I can play with RetroAchievements on. Hopefully I'm not waiting too much longer. The projected date, which was already tentative at best, was December 24th, but on the 25th black-seraph made a post on his Patreon that made it clear he was *still* ill (and I feel that, I got sick nearly three times just in the past couple months), so I'm betting we probably won't get much in the way of updates until mid-January at the earliest. It would be nice to actually make use of the device I've been excited to, but sadly I will likely just be twiddling my thumbs for the foreseeable future. I would not recommend buying the RG35XX Plus right now unless you're okay with Stock OS (which you shouldn't be), because I've seen the interview black-seraph did on a recent podcast which implied he was considering a temporary 30-day paid option for his personal boot files and that just... yeah, nah. Great to support the people who do this stuff, but you'll be left hanging in the wind for a whole month hoping someone else comes out with their own that's just as good. I'd hold off buying the device right now, take a look around, see if they come out with another device soon. Anbernic have already announced the RG35XX H model which is a horizontal build with twin sticks, which I think is a great addition for anyone who might use this for the occasional Dreamcast or N64 game or, games like Ape Escape which, although rare for the PS1, do mostly require use of an analog stick; though you should just spend more to get a handheld device that can emulate the later systems instead, something with an android build capable of GameCube or even PS2 emulation, as those are the ones that are going to use the sticks far more to begin with. Considering Anbernic's history, from what I hear, they will likely keep releasing new models over the coming months that might draw your eye, anyway. But as far as budget options go, the RG35XX Plus is great. It's a bit smaller than you might expect when you actually get it. I thought it would be somewhere between what it actually is and what the Game Boy DMG was, but it does feel smaller than that. I think I'd have preferred something a bit bigger, but I don't think it's uncomfortable or bad by any means, just not perfect. It is inarguably better for pocketability than a Game Boy DMG would be, though. Being as small as it is while still be comfortable, it is probably near-perfect in regards to comfortability-to-portability ratio. One random complaint, though, they put the sticker on the back all wrong. It leans too heavily to the right instead of fitting perfectly in the indent. Unplayable! /s
