[@suhtangwong]

​@@virtualspace4882I'm the opposite, this one is THE PERFECT one. Imo the sp is over hyped, not much love given to the gba. It has the best, most comfortable form factor out of all the gb lines.

[@Aaron-ge7ho]

Nope... it isn't "another PERFECT one"; it's THE perfect one! - at least till someone put a next gen snapdragon chipset in its shell, add at least some knobs in the left and right sides that works as a stick, so we could use it to run up to "this last BigN system that ban everyone just for mention it" and other modern stuff through streaming. But play N64, DC, PS1 and PSP in a GBA is already perfection enough for me now (and i surelly will try BoTW through streaming on it, just for fun, when mine arrives).

[@Metal-Josh]

I really like how Anbernic does have a good name in quality at least. I mean, yeah, they release stuff at an alarming rate, but at least they’re not junk. And I think it’s cool how they got several form factors. I worry that when they finally decide to upgrade the innards, that they don’t forget all of these awesome form factors. To me a great cost saving measure should be to keep the shells as they are and buy “upgrade kits” or have them at least available. Kinda like buying the single board “compooper” and still keep your preferred nostalgic shell

[@binkman71]

The original GBA had that horrible screen that had no backlighting whatsoever. Nintendo touted that it was one of those "transflective" lcds that would reflect the light around it from behind the screen, thus illuminating the screen. In practice, it was awful. I can remember trying to hold it directly under a lamp while playing it in an effort to see what was going on... Many options though for third party lighting accessories for the GBA.

[@DNAMobileGaming]

Hey Dweeb do you ever just laugh at your own content when you watch it back and wonder "wth?" SEGGGGGGGA that jump scare was hilarious.

I also noticed the brightness on the stock Amberlic firmware left something to be desired. I have been running the alpha build of Knulli and there seems to be a lot more levels to the brightness adjustment. I can tell a noticable difference in brightness on the highest Knulli setting compared to Amberlic's highest setting.

[@Aaron-ge7ho]

Had you updated the 34XX to its latest OFW version already with 8 levels of brightness or saying about the first/release stock OS? Cause Anbie added the extra 3 levels for all their zizzle devices, i just can,t say if it include more brightness or if it's just middle grounds between the previous 5 steps.

[@GoeiP91]

​​@@Aaron-ge7hoNo, as soon as I got the device I used the guide from Retro Game Corps to install Knulli on it. I had a bit of difficulty finding the link after I donated but someone on their Discord helped me figure it out. My RG34XX just had the 5 levels of brightness with the stock firmware. I think they upgraded the firmware after I had already installed Knulli.

[@GoeiP91]

​​@@Aaron-ge7hoI just had the stock firmware when I got it. Had 5 levels of brightness. I was already planning to switch to Knulli even though it is the alpha build. I wasn't aware Amberlic had released an updated firmware until you mentioned.

Yeah I much prefer having many options the way Knulli does it. At max brightness it's not as bright as the 3.5" screen devices, but it's not that far off. That's why I didn't complain much about it.

[@SillyPuppyPrincess]

I had a black GBA as a child, it was my very first console ever! So the black model is soo soo tempting for the nostalgia. But, i don’t think i would actually play much on it, i have a modded gba, and i find it very uncomfortable, even tho i have tiny hands. Plus i already get the same size and 3x times scaling on my Squazizzle! But i do think this device is a huge win for the community!

[@Aaron-ge7ho]

Hey, tiny little princess, do you know what can be fun on all this "small hand, big hand, grow up and memoirs"? People forget that they should adapt and just stick to what they took as granted in the new products... Let's say i was a small kiddo with chubby hands when got into a videogame for the first time. Was a Sega MegaDrive/Genesis and that controller was HUGE(!!!) for me, so much that i enjoyed to play Sonic, cause all 3 buttuns were jump, so i only needed C, cause to press A i needed to stretch my thumb too much and on games like Street Fighter i suffered to do even hadoukens when wes in the left side, cause it needed to be a motion from down to right, and i hadn't this reach till my teenaging when i started to stretch, so i used to lay the controller on my lap and pretend to be playing as in an arcade bartop with dpad. Now as a fully grown up (and even kind of bizarre) creature, already with grey beard and sight issues, i can hold the same SEGA 3 buttons pad confortably enough to do whatever i want too with it, as my hands also can hugh confortably something like Xbox 360/One controllers (which i love the dpads to use for any 2D action when available more than any PS and modern Nintendo stuff) and i believe even that infamous "The Duke" wouldn't felt so awkwardly big on my hands if i could try it someday. Then, back some (lots) years in the past, my infant hands used to hugh the Super Nintendo controllers the same way they can now with Xbox; i used to feel easier to play things on my friend's Nintendos than on my MD due to this (i could reach all its face buttons); now, i can't for the love of any god feel that little bastard usefull if i try to embrace it whole as i can with its concurrent pad... SO, i just adapted my grip again and, when playing something on a real SNES controller or using something similar to it, as my SN30 from 8BitDo, i just hold it with my fingertips to have enough reach. Long story short, i believe this should be the same for these "looked to be great when i was young, but know felt just awkward" situation for the ones that used to play on GBA when were kids and try these newer replicas nowadays. PS: black is always the best option!

I was hoping the elder gods would settle on Advizzle. Also, I can't hate on Anbernic for basically having two chipsets for all their devices. This just means, eventually you'll get a budget H700 in the form factor you've been waiting for. Also, it means there's a ton of community OS development that works across the whole line. My favorite XX is the Squazizzle, just because of how well that screen works for GB/GBC and especially vertical arcade.

There was always a bit of practical rationale behind my previous retro handheld purchases. The RP3+ was my gateway into the retro emulation scene. The RP4 Pro was an upgrade over the RP3. The Odin 2 Mini was an upgrade over the RP4. The Rg28xx can't be beat in terms of how it balances extreme pocketability and functionality, and it pretty much ensures that I won't be anywhere without access to thousands of games at all times. There was no such rationale behind my getting the Rg34xx. There was no practical reason for me to get one, but I snatched it up immediately because of my love and nostalgia for the original GBA design, which I will ALWAYS contend to be superior to the SP redesign if not for the lack of backlight. I don't regret my purchase for even a second, I do the majority of my gaming on this thing now. Not just for GBA, Playing PS1 and Dreamcast on here is a surreal experience for me.

They added further brightness too or just middlegrounds between the ones it already had? I'm just waiting mine to arrive (should took a while yet due to the damn customs here), but got curious. Could had tried with my CubeXX to see despite being other device with a whole different screen, but Anbie released it a couple hours after i reinstalled my SD due to having messed too much on it, so i'll wait some time for now.

@@Aaron-ge7hoit’s actually brighter, from 5 steps of brightness to 8

Latest MuOS does support RG34XX.

Odroid GO Advance has a perfect pixel scaling of GBA. Its ancient but it doesn't matter with such games.

I just want the same thing but bigger. They should do a megathiccbizzle

I "sacrificed" my GBA for my cousin who couldn't afford one (to be fair, we couldn't really, either), but with the end goal of getting an SP 'cos let's face it, the GBA screen was so bad you couldn't actually play it without direct sunlight.

I'll be honest, I almost regret getting my 406V back in November. If I'd known this was coming, I'd have gotten it instead
