Is the Anbernic RG505 Getting Better? (Second Look Review)

[@woahnelly42]

This was exactly the second look comparison I have been waiting for! Thank you Russ for your dedication and consistency, cheers from Australia

[@Nick4484]

I bought the Retroid Pocket 3+ and the RG505. I will say, that the Retroid is my go to, however I still love the RG505. The RG505 is more of a novelty item that I use to play N64 games, and occoasionally Gamecube. The Retroid Pocket 3 has HDMI out and I use to plug into my tv. As mentioned the RG505 has an amazing battery life and I've gotten close to a week without charging it. I haven't tried Gamma OS and looking forward to how that goes as well. Thanks RGC for all you do!

[@FUNKYTOWN36]

My 505 is being delivered today, im excited to try it out. Thanks for the info man!

[@ShadoWB4MV]

How did you find the 505? Would you recommend it?

[@LessonsOnTheWeb]

Underrated device IMO. Bought it out of spite after Retroid announced the RP3+ the day I got my RP3 in the mail lol. I think this is a great alternative to RP3+ if you prefer better color saturation and pixel response over the higher resolution and brightness. Will have to try this new OS soon.

[@Qce-i6d]

Also I do like the candybar thickness of Anbernic devices 😊

[@Mob-Inc]

This has an older. Display much better than the Rp3 what are you saying

[@TorgoHiggins]

I settled on an rg505 a couple weeks ago. I'm fairly pleased with it. It does all the wider aspect ratio stuff I wanted at a pretty low price, plus I got the pleasant surprise of updated optimized software and some better-than-expected PS2 performance. I also don't have much of an issue with the ergonomics. The only real sticking point I have is the lack of video out, but that's a optional feature for me on a handheld. I can take it or leave it.

[@Emma-dh1lx]

Can't you cast screen to your t.v?

[@kentjohnson9006]

Yes you can screen cast it

[@PabloGnesutta]

You can also mirror the image with a special cable, not so hard

[@joshuasavoy7443]

Glad I kept my Anbernic RG505. Great value especially with the new Gamma OS installed. Thanks for the tutorial. Maybe we can get a video of how to setup Dijishu with Gamma OS and the 505? Specifically in setting up emulators, bios and cores. Thanks!

[@lazyreuvin]

Gamma OS is such a game changer. I just got the RG405M and was defnitely a bit disappointed with the stock experience. Now that I'm on GammaOS it's an amazing little device!!

[@modernallie6326]

I grabbed the 505 at launch and it has been my go to ever since

[@Arcade1983]

My biggest issue with the RG505 are the color options. The clear black of the 353v would be perfect for this handheld.

[@RideByAquib]

505 was not my first choice (no stacked triggers, no video out) but I couldn’t get a RP3+ where I live (lots of love from India, btw😊). To be honest when I first booted it up, i was a bit let down because even though the screen is oled, it has some noticeable defects (small marks) when displaying certain shades of plain colours (fairly common as per reddit). Rather than asking for a refund or replacement, I thought I’d give it a couple of days to at-least see the performance. I have owned a psx and psp growing up so i tried several games and I must say i got hooked immediately to the gameplay and controls. Its been a few months and i’ve grown extremely fond of the device. Yes there are visible screen defects but only noticeable when playing in a dark environment on dull loading screens - they are completely indistinguishable when actually playing anything. I’m a big fan of rpgs so the only time i’ve missed stacked triggers is when i replayed metal gear solid. All psp games I’ve tried work flawlessly at 3x and look lovely on the oled. I really don’t mind the Anbernic logo as it fades away when immersed in a game. I don’t have any other retro handheld but I do have a ps4 and i must say the controls on the 505 are excellent as going back and forth between a ds4 controller and this device, i can only appreciate the quality of the buttons and controls. Overall, in conclusion i’ll say i’m glad i did not return the device because its an extremely well done package and definitely underrated since it draws so many comparisons to the rp3+ and gets overshadowed by the 405. If 16:9 gameplay AND oled gameplay is what you want- this little guy is the only one in the android space that fits the bill. Also, i’ve said all the above without trying GammaOS. I’m very excited to install it next month once I have access to my home pc - looking forward to the screen and performance improvements. Loved that Russ showed some much needed love and a re-look at this gem of a handheld. Kudos to the GammaOS team for breathing new life into this one🎉 P.s. i don’t miss the tv out anymore too - at least when I’m home. I have set up retroarch in my home pc which is hooked up to my tv so i can either play on monitor or tv. Saves get synced between the 505 and pc. Tricky to set up but works flawlessly now.😊

[@martinalex1281]

Hey I am from India too. I have the rg35xx and would like to sell it and get this one instead. Would you know how I could get about doing that?

[@joseph011296]

That splotchy look during dark load screens is really just from having the vita oled. My vita 1000 did the same thing and it gave me a heart attack as a teenager lol

[@Dstring611]

I really enjoyed this video because with how quickly new handhelds are rolling out, many of us have our now “older” devices collecting dust- it would be great to see some videos revisiting some older devices that still have potential to see how they hold up today and how they can be best utilized. For example, I have an Anbernic RG350M and an RG351M that I would love to start using again simply because I don’t want to continue seeing them sitting in a drawer. Thanks in advance, and thank you for continuing to give us great content!

[@ElPashmino]

Dude if you own them and want to know how they feel in current times then just use them and check it out for yourself

[@TheThirdEnergy]

I agree i have a rg350p which i just dont use anymore due to owning a rp3+ miyoo mini and all the rg353 devices the p the m and the v so its just sitting there but i feel like it should still be getting used i loved it so much as it was my first retro emulator handheld that i bought now its ignored like jessie in toy story 2 i think a good solution for these devices is gift them to someone you care about who you know is a gamer to introduce them to the world of these retro emulator handhelds im thinking of gifting my 350p to my brother hes a hardcore pc gamer but i dont think hes ever really dabbled with these devices or knows about them

I like my RG505. Rebuild it with the abxy buttons of a RG405M, white buttons and ring around and a yellow back on my gray device. A bit of a mix (ok, Frankenstein), but I was surprised anbernic supports the community by selling those parts separately. Too bad I cannot show pictures here. I have a later model and most of the cons are already gone with my stock os: play store, no sharpening and great performance. Great for DS games also, as long as it's not too Heavenly leaning on two screens. Als you said, it's a nice device in between. If you only own one, as I do, it's a great fit. Thanks for your hard work, Russ. I couldn't do it with the dedication you show!

[@jacklindsay610]

Thanks for all these awesome reviews! You opened me up to this industry and I would've been stumbling if not for your research and tips. I've got a few Anbernic devices stacking up now, let's hope they keep on making good devices!

[@Sukainuu]

Right as I'm thinking about getting it, I get a video from you. You're the best man

[@KyleRuggles]

Would be awesome if we could get this OS on the RP3/+. I'd really love to have root on this thing and change that home button to a proper back button.

[@jaydarke]

Honestly. I’ve been playing this out of box since I got it last March. And it plays everything I’ve thrown at it with zero issue. Plus my 12 year old daughter has no issues playing it. Win/win!

[@oasisoflasvegas]

So tempted by this one now. I typically buy 1 new handheld emulation device every year. This year was the rg35xx. I skipped last year. The RG505 is really appealing to me.

[@ahmedghassan6399]

How's the rg35xx doing for you? I just bought mine today and I'm wondering if you changed to Garlic OS or went with the stock OS. In case you switched to Garlic OS, was it worth your time? If so, how?

[@oasisoflasvegas]

@@ahmedghassan6399 it comes with GarlicOS dual boot now - mine didn’t. If you bought from anbernic you’re getting a dual boot system. If not no biggie, I highly recommend GarlicOS. I love the auto save feature when you hit menu (sometimes you have to double tap menu button). I don’t want dual boot personally so I am sticking with my standalone GarlicOS, it feels like such a seamless experience like this is the way retro emulation is supposed to be. The rg35xx just feels like a Nintendo mode product to me, partly because I got the gray one I guess, but I just love the thing and my kids do too.

[@Dec4AllTimeAlways]

My favorite gaming generation based on software: 4th gen. It's becoming that again over the 5th and 6th but I always loved the 16-bit era. My most played game ever is really Super Mario World. Maybe Tekken 3 prior since I played that constantly from 1998-2001 but it's really SMW. I still play it over 30 years later. When I started getting into emulation with my first gen iPod touch and PSP phat, Super Mario World was always the first one I would try to beat. It's the perfect 2D platformer. Levels are not long and super difficult that you're stuck in a death loop. I got the 96 exits multiple times. A game like Breath of the Wild puts me to sleep like a lot of Chris Nolan movies do like Interstellar and Dunkirk. But Super Mario World always keeps me engaged. It's the perfect Mario game to me and Nintendo's greatest game. Has a reward system good for ADHD and quick dopamine hits like playing a slot machine. I used to have a hard time picking between Super Mario World or Sonic 2. I prefer Sonic as a character but I think SMW is the superior game. Way more secrets makes it way more replayable. I've beaten Sonic 2 many times including getting all the Chaos emeralds without the sound code but don't have the same urge to keep replaying it like I have for SMW. I think my brain works better for 2D games moving left or right than being in a 3D environment. The controls for 3D are frustrating. Camera will mess you up a lot. If I'm not playing Super Mario World, I'm playing tons of Super Street Fighter II (MAME) on my modded Vita 2K. I think the 16-bit era had the most replayable games. The best generation for hardware is always the current one we live in. But the best software experience for me came out like 30 years ago. Gawd, I miss those days being ages 11 to 14 and going to the arcade with my cousins or friends and playing SF2 and MK. Beating The Simpsons, TMNT, and X-Men with random strangers. Reading EGM and GamePro. The game I do play a lot on my Switch is Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. It can be frustrating since blue and red shells will hit me a lot when I'm in first place playing 150cc or higher. But it's the best Mario Kart game ever made surpassing my favorites in Double Dash!! and Super Mario Kart (the most balanced). SNES had arguably the greatest library ever.

[@TheYakumoWay]

I've seen like 5 of your videos, think you for all the detailed dives you take. It's layed out well, easy to follow and you kept me interested, awesome worl

[@AllenSettle]

Awesome video as always! I have the rg405m with gammaOS and am able to cast the screen on the TV using a play store app, and it works really well!

[@palshepard417]

That's awesome! What app do you use? Is there any significant lag?

[@AllenSettle]

@palshepard417 I use Screen Mirroring Miracast. It's a free android app. There are paid versions that supposedly run better, but this one had been getting the job done with minimal to no lag. There are times where you have to disconnect and reconnect to your TV or roku, but I think that's because my internet isn't the greatest.

[@palshepard417]

@EmperorManu thanks for the info, sounds good!

[@karin_0486]

So which is better the RG505 or RG 405M? I'm torn

[@AllenSettle]

@karinsandhu I have the 405m and not the 505. They have the same chipset, but if I were to go back, I'd get the 505. Mainly because it's a wide screen and better for psp games, and when I play ps2 or gamecube games the rg405m gets a bit hot due to the metal. The metal does make it feel good though, doesnt feel cheap and has a nice weight to it. All in all though, you can't go wrong.

[@kuronokei01]

The RG505 is my favorite retro handheld to play psx and psp, the OLED display or gorgeous and you can add quite a bit of post-processing magic to make games look even better. I've upgraded from the stock firmware to GammaOS a couple of days ago and I love it, my only real issue are the shoulder buttons... the inline shoulder buttons are pretty wierd, there is nothing like using triggers. But if you are like me and use your handheld to play gba, psp or psx the 505 is a perfect match because if don't use the shoulder buttons that ofter.

[@xtheslump]

Can you play 3ds games on it? I'm looking into purchasing it and also does it lag alot

[@SilverKnight16]

I know this is going to sound weird, but having held both the RP3 (non-plus) and the RG505 in my hands...I preferred the RG505. Sure, it's chunkier, it's lighter, it 'feels more like a toy', but I like that. It feels similar to an old school NES/SNES controller, whereas the RP3 felt like a cell phone. My hand ended up getting cramped very quickly with the RP3, and the smaller size didn't make the analog sticks any less painful to use than the RG505, personally. And the Start/Select being on the top was an absolute deal-breaker for me. Thank you for the second look. GammaOS has definitely improved this device quite a bit.

[@Honethite]

It's brilliant you revisit older devices to see how things have improved.

[@moomah5929]

The OLED screen, long battery life with up to 20h in low power mode and a SoC that has enough power to play Saturn games makes it really interesting for me. Also the D-Pad is still on top and I don't understand why the 405M, as a device aimed at 4:3 games, has the stick on top. Now the question is, how long until another device will all these features, just with better ergonomics, a higher res OLED screen and not Android based will come out? I would love such a device plus a round D-Pad and 6 button layout like the Saturn pad or a M.30.

[@chimrichalds81]

You've seen the Arc?

[@moomah5929]

@@chimrichalds81 Yes but it's underpowered for Saturn, the battery is smaller than other Anbernic devices like the RG405V and has no OLED screen (the last thing being a "I would love to have").

[@kleev6576]

At 5:16 you say "It has a somewhat lower resultion from the original PS Vita", how is that possible when it's a PS Vita screen?

[@RetroGameCorps]

Sorry, what I meant to say there is that it has a slightly lower resolution due to it being from the original PS Vita, which is why right after that I said the lower resolution numbers (960x544). Listening back I can totally understand why that sounded weird, in my mind there was a comma in there :)

At this point I just go between 3 handhelds, the RG353M for shoving in my pocket, the Logitech G Cloud for versatility, and the Steam Deck for performance and simplicity. I don't have a T618 device but the Logitech seems to perform right on par with that chip so I haven't seen a need to go beyond that. I do love the idea of that OLED screen though...

[@Introversitive]

As for your video out issue, I am on the Anbernic page on Facebook and several people confirmed that it will stream/cast to a TV just fine with casting software built into the TV. I personally hav a newer TV so I think it will work decently even if it does perhaps have some lag. But I am fine playing handheld on the go, which is why I bought mine. Hopefully I will get it soon and find out for myself whether it was worth the hefty pricetag or if it was an expensive retro player only up to about N64 flawlessly.

[@dopesheepify]

The RP3+ software is fine, but curious if gammaOS works on that too if it’s made specifically for T618?

Hey first off i want to thank you for keeping on being my favorite tech genius and second i just got a steam deck and your old video on how to set it up is kind of outdated with the new way the emulators run.. I just wonder if your planning on ever doing an updated steamdeck emulator installation

[@fresquecito]

Do all of these anbernic systems come preloaded with a bunch of games?

[@TheWayneStatic]

on the gammaOS youtube channel is a video about hdmi over usb-c. Can anyone confirm this?

[@junlau780]

3rd look of rg552 when? Especially since it can purchased at $170 on sale

[@casper6741]

Public service announcement: Get a hdmi to usb-c cord and BAM you can play on your tv. Idk if it works here but it does work with my rg405v.

I just bought today😄 i still have my RP3plus

[@grellnoble1560]

Getting this but what’s the wrestling game at start thank you so much fact it supports Bluetooth is a plus for me

[@tristanspencer7562]

A major issue I have had with this device is that the sound doesn’t work. When I bought the rg505 I worked, but then I did an update on the stock os and now it doesn’t work. Every thing I’ve seen online basically just says to break the headphone Jack. Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

[@KoolMB]

so do you recommend 505 or 405m or RP+?

[@SierraRuiz16]

Would you get the 405 or 505? Mostly looking to play games from my childhood. Simpsons hit and run, Spyro OG trilogy, rugrats search for reptar, crash bandicoot, Etc.

[@kidfortoday]

Picked one up for $80, love it.
