im so excited for crash bandicoot. im 14, so my childhood is still happening - i wasnt here for all these games when they came out. its kind of hard navigating all of these elitist reviews saying "oh.. its not as good as the $1000 10ft GFIGH12 handheld, but..." like seriously. this is so real of you honestly. for my first handheld, it seems awesome.

[@unforsaken552]

Have you receive it already? How is it so far?

[@kovici7226]

@@unforsaken552 yeah! its pretty good, but you do have to account for me romanticizing it a bit much. it came with a bunch of dupes and uninteresting games i ended up deleting to make more room for the stuff i wanted to play by downloading roms. havent gotten it connected to wifi yet. my favorite thing has been playing DS games, but everything below that runs great. i havent changed the OS, been doing fine, might later on if i see it improves performance on n64 and stuff. skip the android OS, honestly, its not all its talked up to be. n64 is a bit laggy, but fiddle with the settings and it works. i probably could've gotten a slightly better emulator if i waited to save a bit longer, but im satisfied in my position. its great! i always pull it out - way more than i do other handhelds like like the switch lite ive got. best part is that the games are free.

[@unforsaken552]

@@kovici7226 Thanks! how do you find the comfort so far?

[@kovici7226]

@@unforsaken552 like holding it? its a bit awkward at first but you get used to it in a couple minutes. even friends who've used it say "this is so weird" and then play perfectly normally after about five minutes of holding it.

[@harisetc6466]

I’m 30 but I’m so excited to get mine soon.. I can’t wait to play again the games during my childhood specially street fighter Throwback memories!!

[@scottcurtis6344]

Great honest review. Just ordered me one. Can't wait for it to come in. Thanks!

[@bigbossky4031]

Been watching reviews for hours and you by far have the best review. Especially with that episode 1 racer part. Thank you! I also watched your top 10 racing game video and I was worried about psp emulation but you got it running great! Perfect review.

[@RaineyRetro]

Man I appreciate you!

[@bigbossky4031]

@@RaineyRetro could you please tell me how you made your psp full screen? Looked up video idk if it’s a setting or what but I can’t seem to do it on the stock OS.

[@irishdewwy6]

Thanks bro we need more real people like you

[@Ryutai7]

awesome review. also agree with the color choice. that smoky transparent looks so good with the green status LED comin through. subbed and looking forward to more :)

[@DannyTheMarvel]

Love from Maine sir. thanks for the review

[@christianmccann9400]

Such a cool device ive got the V version .. so many games Wipeout works like a dream

[@type2red]

i have the miyoo mini plus and it has opened my appetite for retro handhelds so if this ever goes on a slight sale i will definitely be getting this one next.

[@RaineyRetro]

You won't regret it!

[@New-Drone]

Great device!!

[@RaineyRetro]

My favorite!

[@bigdawg-yq5bd]

Appreciate your style of review and approach to gaming - flowing and like your cousin is showing you how to play Gameboy fr. Too many deep breakdowns in others

[@RaineyRetro]

Man I appreciate that! Definitely just encouraged me to do more reviews ⚡

[@hangingon]

Got this and a case with shipping for under $60. Perfect to take to work cause my Switch is too bulky & expensive if something were too happen. My first emulator & its a great little machine to play all these classics from my childhood.

[@dylane1278]

Where did you get yours from? $60 seems a steal for most prices going I've seen

[@mitchio83]

@@dylane1278 Just got mine on Temu, it was $62 and i had a $25 off a $60 order coupon i used and it came out to $37 with free shipping! Sadly i think they are sold out now on Temu all i see are $100+

[@ngram4536]

How are the shoulder buttons? Being side by side does it work well when playing certain ps1 games or whatever makes use of both L1,R1, etc.?

[@RaineyRetro]

Shoulder buttons work well with all the ps1 and psp games I play. You may have to adjust your finger placement when playing certain games but None really have you use both at the same time like modern day first person shooters. N64 however has a weird mapping which requires you to use R2 as the "Z" button but your finger naturally sits on it so it's no strain

[@anbernicguy]

Shoulder buttons are something to be desired, pressing the L1 and R1 are kind of awkward tbh.

[@Bruhmanfrmda5]

You should get Tokyo racer for dreamcast I play it all the time on my rg353v!

[@RaineyRetro]

I'll check it out!

[@HotSauceStain]

Hey bro - I am getting my console today finally! I downloaded a few Roms on my MacBook. Can I just drag and drop the the memory card that came with it? I got the 64 GB with around 5000 preloaded games. Can I fit like 10 of my own Roms on that? Or should I buy a new memory card

[@RaineyRetro]

Finally! You should be able to drag and drop your games with no issues. (Depending on the size of your games)

[@shecklesmack9563]

How’s Dreamcast performance? I’ve heard it doesn’t work too well, do you have to switch OS to get Dreamcast to work?

[@RaineyRetro]

I have the vs model (which is linux only) and dreamcast is stable. I mainly play sports and racing titles and haven't had any issues outside of controller mapping lol. Vs>V and leave it on stock!

[@neoanderz]

Are they all made by Anbernic? Ive seen the same model so cheap, wonder if there is are knockoff models

[@RaineyRetro]

Hmmm I've only heard of the V and VS models which are both made by anbernic. Curious to know where you saw the knockoffs though might be an interesting review lol

[@ericf.39]

How many games were on the VS out of the box? I want to buy one for my son and introduce him to the n64

[@RaineyRetro]

Too many to count lol classic rom dump with most of the games being SNES, Sega and Gameboy titles. N64 had about 8. Also it doesn't come with any Mario games so you'll need to add those yourself

[@RnTube]

Its horrible for n64 the VS version. Fps drops every 5 seconds

[@ProjctAce331]

been trying to play turok on the n64 but the left analog stick is the camera and idk how to change that. can anyone help?

[@antegratechrebell3346]

You can change in turok settings but with every emulator you must change the buttons but it works proper then

[@itstimmytamtam]

is Pokemon, Tekken and SuperMario Bros pre installed already here in rg353vs?

[@RaineyRetro]

Pokémon Gold, silver, yellow, crystal and puzzle challenge. Tekken 5 and 6. No Super Mario bros you would need to add that yourself

[@TheAndrewanyanwu]

Hey bro if I wanted to use this as an MP3 player or video player is it possible?

[@RaineyRetro]

Yessir!

[@TheAndrewanyanwu]

@@RaineyRetro wow really how do I do it?

[@TheAndrewanyanwu]

I want to get the rg353, will that be able to play mp3s and videos as well?

[@llks1772]

Are game saves allowed or always start over?

[@RaineyRetro]

All game states save on the stock OS! Main reason why I refuse to update

[@amrossie4926]

Can anyone teach how to force close button while you in game?

[@RaineyRetro]

Function+start

[@Streetsupra88]

Any of the Gran Torismo games on there?

[@RaineyRetro]

Yep it comes with the 1st one

[@kickbackcbm727]

I just got mine today and there is basically nothing preloaded 😐 I don’t even see psp or PlayStation options Any idea why?

[@RaineyRetro]

Where did you order from? Some resellers don't send units with games on the SD in fear of copyright lawsuits. Usually when I order my anbernic devices from Amazon they're loaded with games

[@RaineyRetro]

Also, Check your box for the 2nd memory card

[@antegratechrebell3346]

The price for you buying it?

[@jenko3247]

I only got like 12 games on mine . Had to but another sad card

[@eddie_arcadia]

I keep forgetting some ppl don't like android don't know why but yo to the folks that know android got a lot of PS2 games in the play store

[@ALTN8NRG]

😂 no stealth gaming.

[@KingJKickz]

I want a device but I have phone that runs all that

[@RaineyRetro]

I understand. Currently playing gamecube through dolphin on my Surface Duo but having a dedicated handheld device is sweeeeeet. It's like adopting a pet... The right device will speak to you then boom you're hooked.

[@christianmccann9400]

Yen but buttons dude ..

[@MrHdsource]

Won't play neo geo games that are on it
