Nice review! I really like how you wrote notes on paper around device to highlight features. Great technique. My recommendation is to use lighter paper or something like a metallic silver sharpie. It will stand out better and be easier to see. Subscribed.

I'm new to emulators, but this was a very good break down of this one. I like that it's small, compared to other handheld emulators. It being made of metal is also a plus.

From what I've looked up, the retroid pocket 4 pro would be better at the same price, yet I don't think it looks as smooth, & pocketable as this one. I guess you trade some things for style, which isn't a bad thing.

@@Pedro-jz4jn I can't blame you. From what I've looked up, the Ambernick has some cool features like rumble, and a metal casing. However, you get a bigger screen, with cooler casing options with the retroid pocket 4 pro. I'd honestly go for the 4 pro, since I think some games would benefit with a nicer screen.

OR less powerfull (just to be able to play up to 2D games of 6th generation: similar to RG ARC-S/D) but with left stick changed places with D-Pad ( or even without sticks but dual front-facing speakers) and MUCH cheaper. Also, keep those shifts as they are in 405M for better pocketability

Looks like a nice device, but there is a lot of competition these days.. going to have to be pretty special at that price. Can't wait to see what gets released this year! Bound to be something better in a few months or so.

Im new to this emulation stuff I accidentally stumbled across emulation consoles watching N64 game play a few days ago. That being said what systems would you recommend in the higher end anbernic/retroid price range. If it helps id be interested in playing games like turok, tony hawk pro skater, the mario 64 game, and some of the cart racing games.

The most sleek looking retro handheld IMO. Is the d-pad being below the joystick makes playing d-pad centric games uncomfortable?

I have an older Ambernic RG353. Is this one easy to add more ROMS? I have a bunch already on a SD card. Want to know if it's easy to add more games to the device to go with the ones it comes with. I want to plat Marvel Ultimate Alliance on the PSP. Hope that plays well. I want a device that I can pick up and play easily without all the setting up.

What's the Budget? honestly this one does well for DS games. But you can still pick up a DS lite for around $70 bucks and a R4 card is around 35 bucks. if you want cheaper and smaller a miyoo mini plus is good too.

Even within the Anbernic line, I’m not seeing what’s so special about this device that everyone seems to praise it. I got my RG505 during a sale for $128 last year, including micro SD and shipping/insurance. It has identical performance to this, a Vita OLED that 2x upscales PSP perfectly, and while the inline shoulders hold it back as a remote gaming device compared to Retroid’s new RP4, it’s still better for that than this. Furthermore, if pre PS2/GC is what a customer cares about, they could buy their RG353 for significantly less and get the same premium aluminum housing, or Retroid’s RP2s and get objectively better controls. What exactly is so great about this device to warrant its popularity? I’m not seeing it. Is the extra portability really worth all the trade offs?
@B3nG4208 ай бұрын
@dauntless0711 imo it just may be. Not everyone thinks the same. I LOVE the face buttons that anbernic put on the 405m like the best I've ever felt on any handheld. Yes pound for pound retroid is leagues better, but for someone that's always on the go and can legit fit in the pocket and forget it's there, sign me up.
