Anbernic RG34XX - Modern Gameboy Advance // In-Depth Review - Teardown, Emulation, & More!

[@retrotechdad]

Is this the form factor you've been waiting for? How do you Gameboy Advance? 🙏🙏

[@retrohandhelds]

That intro transition was magical

[@retrotechdad]

NO, YOU'RE MAGICAL! 🤗🤩💜

[@retrohandhelds]

@@retrotechdad 😘

[@MrLaserpowered]

Your review is the best I've watched for this device. Great work.

[@retrotechdad]

Thank you for the kind words, I really appreciate it!

[@Zeuspwns]

I feel like buying this for my little one to have a similar experience to me growing up with the GBC and only getting an Advance SP much later! Perfect combo with my RP5 too

[@retrotechdad]

That's really cool! 🤗🤗 It's amazing to think where we are today and how awesome this would've been to have back when the GBA released!

[@justaadhdgamerwesley6244]

What games does he play?

[@wopino]

Another freakin awesome vid, this is perfect for those who grew up with the Gameboy Advance! Really cool idea!

[@retrotechdad]

Agreed, I like these Anbernic "clones" and their take on classic handhelds. Thanks for the support as always! 🤗🤗

[@wopino]

@retrotechdad 👊💥

[@wopino]

@retrotechdad I'd be all over another snes clone with a 4" 4x3 oled screen, that would be my perfect retro handheld up thru ps2 and gc

[@tetra_nel]

Love the detailed teardown! I definitely don't need this, but it hits the nostalgia hard. Hoping they make a transparent fuchsia since that was the color I had growing up and I would love to have an updated version of it.

[@retrotechdad]

I think if this is successful for Anbernic like the SP, they will probably do a second wave with new colors! 🤞🤞 The transparent fuschia is such an awesome GBA color

[@tetra_nel]

@retrotechdad I've seen a lot of love for this device so far so there's hope! 🤞🤞

[@Ray3D]

Really happy with the silent LR buttons. Every other device I have used so far has them sounding like someone chewing rocks.

[@retrotechdad]

Yea, it's a nice and welcome change from some other devices I've used this year! 🙏🙏

[@cho-v4n]

This hits me right in the nostalgia feels. Great review rob 🙂

[@JH_On_Lofi]

If Anbernic continues the colne trend, I'll need a exact PSP duplicate with the T620 chipset.

[@strongbad79]

That would be awesome. I put some custom PlayStation buttons in my retroid pocket 4 Pro and I'm using it as a PSP only machine.

[@retrotechdad]

That would be WILD! 🔥🔥

[@albertosaldivar2934]

Psp stick sucks, and a second stick is mandatory for ps2 and gamecube emulation.

[@retrotechdad]

It would be interesting if they did their own take on the analog stick, instead of the nubbin'. 😅😅

[@Pridetoons]

The Allwinner A527 would do it to or me.

[@jyllianrainbow7371]

Great review, I already ordered the red one this morning and I'm glad I did, because it looks so good in this video.

[@Pridetoons]

I next year I hope we get a 3:2 Anbernic Handheld with Analog Sticks and the Allwinner A527. It should be able to pull off PSP Emulation while looking good at the same time.

[@the_blue_dragon_bd]

we are so close to a ds clone I can taste it

[@retrotechdad]

I need it! 🔥🔥

[@NoobixCube]

You SAY "one last hurrrah for Anbernic to close out the year", but there's still two weeks left of 2024. In Anbernic's release timing that's like three more handhelds!

[@retrotechdad]

😅😅😅 Time to reset my "days since last Anbernic" calendar

[@turnbasedtoddy7664]

I never realized that the a and b button imprints are not centered on the original game boy advanced.

[@retrotechdad]

Yea, it's a bit weird 😅😅

[@egon4564]

The GBA version of Chu Chu rocket is awesome and has a really great puzzle mode.

[@retrotechdad]

YESSS! I almost included it for this video, I was very much on a Sega vibe this time around. 😅🔥🔥

[@X862go]

WAKEUP dad has a new video 📹

[@retrotechdad]

LET'S GOOOO 🔥🔥

[@jay63798]

Why isn’t the D Pad centre aligned (like the original)!

[@snekku]

Probably because they were going for the original ergonomics. If they aligned the d-pad and buttons it would push them closer to the edge.

[@retrotechdad]

I'm not sure what you mean? The d-pad is in the same exact location as the original GBA.

[@jay63798]

Ooh I see, it’s the same distance in from the outer edges but because the screen is bigger they are no longer centre aligned horizontally between the screen and the edge of the device

[@thematrix2661]

We would all be happy if it was a ds style reasonable handheld am I wrong?

[@retrotechdad]

Yes, we really need a DS style handheld! 🔥🔥

[@segaprophet]

This is probably getting MinUI, right? As far as I know MinUI already supports all the previous "xx" handhelds.

[@retrotechdad]

Yes, very good chance of it happening. It just needs an updated entry for the new screen but otherwise should be good to go! 🙏

[@DeathMetalThrasher]

Now they need to make a DS clone next

[@retrotechdad]

🔥🔥🔥

[@japyoo2248]

Been playing on the ds lite I don't like the dpad is it the same size as gba?

[@vilgevorcblack6178]

Sry I don't get it, 351 have bigger and better screen for GBA or not?

[@retrotechdad]

The 351 has a 3.5" screen so it's just slightly larger, but it is a lower resolution display (480 x 320). It can handle 2X integer scaling for GBA. The 34XX has a 3.4" screen with a resolution of 720 x 480, so it can handle 3X integer scaling. They're both very nice for GBA and if you have a RG351P, it's a little bit less interesting unless you really like the look of the 34XX.

[@Oh2x]

nice intro

[@retrotechdad]

Thank you! 🤗🤗

[@thaidenthach9806]

Anbernic: The ppl's champion

[@smmuny]

I sort of wish there was a 16:9 H700 to push the device and make it a portmaster machine lol

[@retrotechdad]

I think a budget 16:9 H700 would be interesting and a nice change of pace from all of the other forms! 🔥🔥

[@Pridetoons]

I'd prefer a Chipset that's more powerful that Dual Boots into Android and Linux like the Allwinner A527.

[@smmuny]

@ for Anbernic it’s about what’s possible, not preferred 🥲

[@seethruhead7119]

give me a clone SP with the correct aspect ratio screen....

[@retrotechdad]

It makes you wonder why they didn't just do that to begin with 😅😅

[@MKc-dv8xt]

Always be careful when tearing down a side piece...

[@retrotechdad]

😅😅I love it

[@iamnotyourbuddyGUY]

My wife been trying to remove my side piece for a while now.
