I Played The RG35XX SP For A Week And This Happened

Yeah I realised that when I got another device with the same, lol

[@nuggetboi1554]

Does that mean I won't have to worry as much about getting a replacement SD card when it gets here?

[@JuhoSprite]

After 500 hours with my rg34xx SP, I completed my gaming backlog, unlocked my full brain potential, and became fluent in five languages. I met the love of my life, got married, and now have 11 wonderful kids. My discipline and focus landed me a dream job at NASA. Now I’m playing on my rg34 aboard the International Space Station.

[@imairwrecked3599]

I’ve had two other emulations devices now and this is the only one that makes me want to pick it up and actually play it; I can’t describe exactly why but it just feel right/fun. My other emulators are just gathering dust and I feel bad for even getting them lol.

[@Watamel0n]

What other devices did you buy?

[@imairwrecked3599]

@ a powkiddy and another Anbernic can’t remember their ridiculous names off the top of my head tho.

[@shiroshine7227]

​@imairwrecked3599 a v90 maybe? Clamshell as well.

[@imairwrecked3599]

@ ya that’s the powkiddy correct I believe so then I got the other Anbernic original 35xx.

[@ChronikSpartan]

It's weird because there is just something about certain handhelds that does that to you. You can't really describe it and I guess it's down to aesthetics but it definitely feels like some are calling out to you to be picked up like the ring calling gollum 😅

[@wecnbu]

The only channel that tells the true, every other channel complaining on the buttons just buy a good damn SP, boy.

[@ChronikSpartan]

I just say it how I see it 😁

[@ricenoodles632]

Hopefully future Anbernics will have AMOLED like the RP Mini. And also the sleep/freeze mode with closing the SP screen if it doesnt already have that

[@ChronikSpartan]

Yeah OLED on future models would be great

[@georged7627]

I got mine about a week ago and loving it, i usually make hand grips for all my emulation handheld devices but I’ve ordered some and are in the mail getting dropped off today so cant wait for that comfortablilty im always looking for 🙏🏽

[@ChronikSpartan]

Awesome! I will try my old GBA grip to see if it works as the 35XX is only slightly larger

[@zero604]

Anbernic themselves include Kioxia cards with the SP, it's not just that store you got it from.

[@ChronikSpartan]

Yeah I only realised that after releasing the episode. Thanks for the info though 👍

[@jasonshiers5771]

Get two extra SD,s and get MUos installed on it fantastic custom hardware .

Awesome idea!

[@GhostLinx]

PSP runs good on mine it's just not every game, it's nice that you can change the screen ratio in some games without stretching too

[@ChronikSpartan]

Yeah, it's definitely decent emulation. Just not as clean as the others

[@SlimeScholar]

Sorry for the newbie question but where do you find the games to install? Thanks!

[@ChronikSpartan]

A quick Google of roms will help you out

[@marcus5546]

Tíny best set.... Google it

[@theprophet2444]

The dreamcast was way more powerful than the PS1, it's pretty close to the PS2 even, so it's surprising that PS1 games gave the system some struggle. But it seems like N64 is also having issues on it, strange, but probably an issue with the emulator itself.

[@ChronikSpartan]

Yeah I think it's testament to how much effort the developers have put into the Dreamcast emulators

[@troabarton89]

Love these videos, I've nearly beaten the elite 4 on Pokémon Fire Red using my SP but I can't play in bed. My wife can't stand the clicky D-pad at night. I'll just have to buy another handheld... :)

[@rony_rst]

I mean, the 35XX SP does have clicky buttons too. [Edit:] oh I'm sorry. I thought you were speaking of the GBA SP there

[@ChronikSpartan]

Haha, I never tried playing it in bed so never really noticed the impact of the clickiness 😅

[@syndromatic.design]

Search up the mask tape mod - quietens it down significantly afaik

[@Eetio]

I bought mine directly from Aliexpress and it still came with the same SD card you received

[@JR81GWGB]

It's standard from anbernic. I ordered mine from them directly.

[@ChronikSpartan]

Ah OK, seems Anbernic have upped their game a bit then

[@Godzuki-q8f]

There is also a sleep mode option in the settings for when you close the screen

[@ChronikSpartan]

Ah, that's good to know 👍

[@davidmacias1270]

Excellent video!!!🔥

[@ChronikSpartan]

Thank you bro!

[@BastarB]

Thanks for sharing! How's the input latency on this thing on snes? Is this it comparable to a real SNES? SNES input lag generally seems to be more severe than other systems when emulated. I wish to have a handheld for playing kaizo mario rom hacks, and that requires truly low input lag.

[@ChronikSpartan]

Personally I never notice input lag unless it's more than slight, so from my perspective I'd say minimal. But I do know pretty much all emulation has some input lag especially for game that are timing critical like Punch Out

[@the_blue_dragon_bd]

i had a retroid pocket 2 which was about the same price range but this seems to run things better, also 2d psp games should work perfect on this hardware its only most 3d titles that wouldn't run great but its a 4:3 screen anyways and there is mid range cost handhelds that run psp perfect like the rp3+ so it really isnt a problem, btw you might be able to upscale ps1 games to be a full 480P through retroarch (native ps1 runs at 240p but the problem with upscaling is it might make it stutter but idk if it is more powerful than the rp2 so who knows it might work because dreamcast didnt run on the rp2 but it did for the rg sp)

[@ChronikSpartan]

Yeah the RP2 is an older device than this, so won't compare as well. I don't really need PSP on this either and the rest is great!

[@ricenoodles632]

Boiii when I get my hands on this device (later this week) imma load all the DBZ episodes on it for that GBA Video vibes. Also Yugioh, Hamtaro, Beyblade, Medabots, Digimon, Power Stone, DB, DB GT, Cardcaptor Sakura, Battle B-Daman, Zatch Bell, Bobobo-Bo Bo-Bobo, Johto, Bible Black, HxH, Ikki Tousen, Shaman King, Power Stone, FMA, Inuyasha, Corey in the House, Escaflowne, and of course Ghost Stories

[@digivizwiz]

I'm trying to remap the buttons on my 8BitDo M30 controller via Bluetooth to play fighting games like SFIII (thankfully it has HDMI out), but because the controller doesn't have analogue sticks I get stuck part way through the process. Have you been able to do this? Also will yours play Sega super-scaler arcade ROMS such as Powerdrift or Thunder blade?

[@TheMysteryDriver]

Just wish it had sticks on the bottom. For the price it's pretty good, but I feel like these things come out so often I'll just keep playing my 3DS XL :)

[@thepenultimateninja5797]

I'm the opposite - I was really pleased it came without analog sticks. When the Miyoo Flip was first leaked, the first thing I did was to research the feasibility of removing the sticks and replacing them with some sort of plug. My hands cramp up just thinking about using sticks on a device like this. If I'm emulating a system that needs sticks, I'm going to use a horizontal device.

[@ChronikSpartan]

It could be an interesting design but I never felt the need for them personally

[@azurekite3870]

if sticks at the bottom it would be hard to use and the og sp never had thumb sticks.

[@yadspi]

They all come with that SD Card. The best OS for it now is MuOS you should change the stock one that has stutters and bugs.

[@ChronikSpartan]

Nice one buddy!

[@kisou9999]

Use muOS and you'll have a hinge-activated sleep mode

[@ChronikSpartan]

Ah ok, that sounds sweet!

[@janX9]

They updated the stock OS last week. It's really good. Fixed all the issues with hinge sleep mode. And added quick shutdown and resume using RA states. It works great now. All the xx models have been upgraded with RA 1.18.0 so multiplayer is great between all xx models.

i have over : 256 hrs on my r36s , i honestly thought that the build quality was gonna fail but no ! , the joysticks feel amazing they were a little tight at first but they have loosen up , to perfection, the screen ips screen look breathtaking, also the 1.5 ghz cpu is quite powerful for retro games , i of course set my expectations accordingly for a $20 dlls handheld, i wasn't expecting greatness like evey youtuber that talks about r36s and they start complaining about miniscule things on the device, my expectations where more than exceeded because i have my 2 feet on the ground , if the r36s costed something like $200 dlls or $ 120 dlls you bet your a** if it has flaws im gonna be pissed 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡 but once again............ the freaking device cost freaking $20 dlls people, $20 freaking Dollars people, get your . sh** straight

[@dgevert]

Did you have any thoughts on the feeling of the d-pad and buttons? Loud, clicky buttons didn't bother you?

[@jamessillas2247]

Don't even worry. I was prepared to mod the buttons by adding electrical tape to soften the clickiness due to the widespread complaints about the pressure needed to press the buttons. It's all a sham. Maybe it's cause I have working man hands and not soft office body hands. Even so my wife with her princess hands thought it wasn't too clicky. I enjoy the buttons don't ever feel tired or exhausted from play.

[@dejhauntetonga55764]

I feel reviewers were abit too harsh on the clickyness of the d-pad and buttons honestly. Didn't bother me at all but I understand how it may bother some people tho.

[@ChronikSpartan]

​@@dejhauntetonga55764yes the reviewers were really harsh indeed. The clicky buttons don't bother me, I like the feel, but they bother my wife. I can't play the xxSP in bed, I wake her up. So it does kinda suck. Gotta switch to the quiet. xxh

[@ChronikSpartan]

The video is what happened

[@88Spint]

Love the device, instantly wiped the SD card tho... don't trust their roms at all. Also tons of stuff I just never would want to play anyway. Still it is an impressive little thing. Run Playstation and n64 as well as I need it to. And everything bellow. Using it mainly for jrpgs and strategy games that don't require mashing buttons as handcramp is real! I recommend you stay away form all shooters and only do platformers in short sessions. Gba, snes and nes titles are a little easier on your hands for platformers, for the most part. Do test out different OS's like MuOS and KnulliOS Just do it with a different SD card and you are good to go. If you wanna use one SD card for emulators and games make sure you set everything up correctly. Oh and this little thing has wifi and bluetooth so when you manage to set that up and you can just transfer files through wifi and use your wireless headphones the device becomes so much more enjoyable imo. Enjoy :D
