Anbernic RG40XXV IN-DEPTH LOOK and TEARDOWN | Zu Reviews!

[@retrohandhelds]

What do you think about the RG40XXV? Are you going to pick one up?

[@Pridetoons]

Nah I got my RG40XX. 😁

[@garethmccourt4915]

Yep, I got one ordered as soon as it went live on their website 😃. Quick question if you know, if I change ui to say knulli, can you still change stick led colours, or is it stuck on or off?

[@UnknownClient]

@garethmccourt4915 great question, never thought of that!

[@SWPLGAMING]

I like the way that it feels like the way that it looks. It's light but it's still very sturdy. And I like the fact that it's got that mattered texture to the plastic show which is something that the rest of them don't particularly have. Zu I really like your reviews I find them super entertaining keep dropping these videos man, absolutely we do have anbernic fatigue right now but content like this keeps us going so big thank you for this video drop 🔥🔥🙏🏾

This guy is making sense!

[@grubfriend]

Might've impulse purchased one of these and I've been watching reviews while it's on its way... thanks for showing the trigger fix! so excited to get my hands on this.

[@MrakoGears]

The algorithm has blessed me with yet another retro channel! Very nice review that nitpicks those aspects that most others tend to skip!

[@retrohandhelds]

Welcome aboard! We've got all sorts of stuff to binge watch!

[@MrakoGears]

@@retrohandhelds Yes, I love the lengthy in-depth reviews! And the "talking hands" format x)

[@wanderingmako]

Wish they did a pure black as well. I'll prob get a blue and white, but pure black could've been so clean.

[@yagami999913]

My first step into the retro handheld world was the OG 35XX. Now i ordered a Powkiddy V10 (exclusively for GBA) and a 40XXV (for all the rest) and i'm really looking forward to dive into all these good old games i missed when i was young.

[@neros77]

Very nice and deep review of this device. Thank you 👏

[@Paoabarai]

Just bought this and am waiting for it to arrive. I was unable to own a gameboy when I was a kid and hope this will fill up to my dreams after all these years.

[@TheTechUpdate-ui1fh]

Good review, you really made it clear as to why you get accidental presses on the triggersand i think the fix you presented is so useful. Thanks😀

[@retrohandhelds]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Kevin-Schmevin]

I feel like somebody finally made the perfect handheld for me. I can't wait for mine to arrive!

[@JB_369]

Great video! Love the humor 😄 Waiting on mine, I ordered the Indigo color. The DMG Gameboy was my first handheld. Can't wait to relive some memories on a crisp 4 inch screen.

[@smmuny]

Now that’s a vertical 👀 🌟

[@rafaelsoares8282]

The size comparison was very nice, now I want one just because look a like the original dmg and many aspects

[@Schmootle]

351v is still one of the best feeling handhelds IMO, for what it runs. This looks like it might be a worthy successor. I just wish the buttons and triggers had the same feel, instead of being more snappy.

[@jonathonearl482]

I like the Woodgrain option as well! Got both the Woodgrain 351V and 405V.

[@SamP.H-t1r]

Yes, please make a video where you fix up your dmg. I would watch that.

[@mattdavis9601]

You're like the Bob Villa of ersatz Game Boys, Zu. They ought to call your segment "This Old Handheld" because of your skills at upgrading them. Relatedly, I'd like to see you refurbish your childhood DMG. That'd be fun.

[@SuperMikeKaos]

The clicky back triggers and cardinal snapping are deliberate, at least the cardinal issue is fixable via software (as least in the 556 and cube thus far)

[@bankbank]

we've got a horizontalstan on our hands, folks

[@norezplaysgames]

Very nice video! I'm glad they changed the placement of both the battery and CPU! I'm really not sure if I want one. I already have a 35XXSP and it's not going anywhere. lol The problems I have with the RGB are: A) it's an added cost that is only good for esthetics, keeping it from hitting the $50 mark. B) It drains the battery just that much faster.

[@pandabearmadness6263]

i didnt need this but i bought one, pretty good deal and i just love the look of the white one.

[@JeffBreyer]

Darnit, I guess i gotta buy one ... Thanks, Zu.

[@cho-v4n]

Great review. This device looks awesome.

[@sTuPiDiScOoL_]

My first handheld as a kid was a Gameboy advance and it broke within a year so if one of these does the same i know i have a 100 percent authentic retro experience.

[@MikeySaxMusic]

Great review! Mines on the way!!

[@ColinRowlands]

If your first handheld was the dmg then wouldn't that make you a vertical not horizontal stan?

[@zu_perler3011]

English is hard, okay?

[@retrohandhelds]

"We'll fix that in post" *forgets to fix it in post*

[@BoxingTheologian]

26:16 A rare guest appearance. Shouts out to the Earl Simmons estate. 🙅🏿‍♂️😂

[@cozy9181]

Been watching this for like a month or so, since I heard about them potentially sneaking a release. All wanted to know was if postmaster worked. Now that I know it’s as good as bought. Appreciate the review.

[@ChrissyFreitas]

I just ordered the blue "indigo" 40XX V yesterday! I am actually torn on whether or not I will keep it stock or put CFW on it. It seems like the dream DMG handheld I have been waiting for so long. If it only came in other colors like yellow and replicate the classic yellow DMG with black buttons (which was my first GameBoy/handheld).

[@Harlod814]

I actually really like the look of this one. No atomic purple option though. 😭

[@Sadtiric]

25:07 You gotta believe me! 💚

[@retrohandhelds]

I couldn't remember the greatest song in the world, no.

[@toycoma98]

The triggers are fine, its just like miyoo mini plus. Makes TATE mode for vertical shooters better.

[@carlboman3035]

When you opened it in the middle was that a rumble?

[@STR82DVD]

I'm team horizontal for sure but with having 3 H700 units already, I'm all kinds of good. Great critique young lad. Onc question though, does it feel like an Analog? If so, I could be persuaded.

[@TutonicKnight]

Man... why didn't they make this in transparent purple?...

[@dc345601]

I just ordered one. Thanks for the overview. This is my first retro emulator. Anyone have experience with how long shipping takes with Anbernic?

[@Kiahona]

Dudedruh, you know the difference between horizontal and vertical yes?

[@matthewjefferis9451]

Zu rules 😊

[@CAPMAX_Gaming]

How stabby is the lower left corner?

Retroid 5 soon . Thoughts?💭

[@pandabearmadness6263]

I'm just curious how do you scrape roms when you add your own

[@allen0088]

I have a problem where my L3 is my start button. It's driving me crazy

[@-Brunnen-G]

Does bluetooth audio work on all the CFWs? The last time I checked the H version's bluetooth audio only works with Batocera.

[@Patrick-bn5rp]

Hey Zu, you should check out Tales of Eternia on the ps1. It's got gorgeous sprite work and the best action combat on the system in my opinion, and an amazing story. It's an rpg that has held up surprisingly well.

[@retrohandhelds]

I'M DOWN LIKE A CLOWN CHARLIE BROWN

[@Patrick-bn5rp]

@@retrohandhelds Should probably mention... Eternia's name was changed to "tales of destiny 2" for the english release. which makes things confusing because it has nothing to do with the prior game, tales of destiny and to make matters worse, bandai released an actual sequel to tales of destiny later on the ps2. As you'd guess, the actual sequel is also named tales of destiny 2. tldr the game I recommended is called "tales of destiny 2" on psx for the english version and has nothing to do with the ps2 game also called "tales of destiny 2." (that was a japan exclusive title, too.)

[@retrohandhelds]

This is basically if Grandia and Star Ocean had a baby. Thanks for adding another gem to my backlog. -Zu

[@Patrick-bn5rp]

@@retrohandhelds You are welcome. Fun fact. The Tales series was actually started by Gotanda before he went on to make Star Ocean.

[@seankoch1601]

Anyone know what screen protector fits this thing? Mine didn't come with one and I can't seem to find any for sale. Link please!

[@michaeltsichlis9360]

Hey guys, i was really thiking of getting the rg35xx plus and then i came upon this !!! Do you have any comments or suggestions that could help me choose between the two?

[@retrohandhelds]

The main difference is size. If you're going to put it in a backpack and size isn't an issue, go 40XXV. If you want something you can slide into a coat pocket, then the 35XXP is your man. The processor is the same, so there's no real difference in performance or custom firmware.

[@michaeltsichlis9360]

@@retrohandhelds Tbh I am really looking forward to playing some PSP games so i think the joystick on the 40XXV will come handy.

[@dillonhayes3402]

@@michaeltsichlis9360 I've never had a retro I'm watching about my 500th review for the day before I decide what to get and from what I've seen any of these consoles in my budget aren't very good at all at PSP you're going to want something more pricey for that I think

[@jakobdueck7491]

entertaining to watch. :)

[@taigabasaglia]

Can this device plays PS1 games with 2x resolution (not enhanced resolution mode)

[@aaronlupton6205]

DOES it play and come with MAME emulation

[@ChrisKliewer]

Tenacious D...hehe

[@steelwrath]

Man I have anbernic rg351v should I upgrade for better performance?

[@retrohandhelds]

@steelwrath it is a nice upgrade from the 351, but the shoulders are more sensitive to accidental presses

[@sargunsinghsahni5293]

Is this good for Gameboy advance ?? I am looking for a handheld particularly for that system.

[@retrohandhelds]

It's not an ideal screen ratio for GBA, but honestly, I've been playing a lot of GBA on here and it's pretty good. I beat the GBA version of Link to the Past on the 40XXV for Game of the Month, and it was a blast. - Zu

[@sargunsinghsahni5293]

please can someone answer my question, can it play tactics ogre let us cling together on ppsspp without stuttering?

[@raiusdaltar1483]

Funny, this is also a very common metric for me when buying a handheld. You can tell even by the title screen intro if you're going to have a smooth experience with that one. I got the TSM to run it full speed on the latest Crossmix at 1x with some CRT scanlines so I am happy.

[@mephistophelesknivez]

@@raiusdaltar1483 what's a TSM?

[@mephistophelesknivez]

@@raiusdaltar1483 Usually on android phones just enabling (skip Gpu readbacks) it will give smooth experience on either Vulcan or OpenGL on graphics settings. but I have doubts on devices like this, I don't want to buy if it can't even play the game I really like

[@JuanAvi13]

What about DS games!?

[@retrohandhelds]

It's really good for single screen games that don't need the stylus (FFTA2, Advance Wars, Castlevania, etc...)

[@papixmanu]

Does it run PS2?

[@retrohandhelds]

No.
