THIS Is The Retro Handheld to Get Under $70 - Anbernic RG35XX H Review

[@Portly]

What do you guys think of the RG35XX H? Have you tried it yourself? Is there another handheld you prefer? Let me know! I’m super curious and always down to learn more about these fun little devices.

[@daydreamerflores5333]

Hey do you k ow if the Pokémon games or street fighter games be connected to other rg35xx and have little pvp battles? Or poke trades?

[@lauraacevedodomenech700]

Will be my first time to buy one of this, but Do you download the games or does it bring the games to it?

Does this have Megaman Legends on it? If not, do you know if any of the other versions have it?

I just saw the Anbernic RG35XX H add in YT reels and this was the next video I came across when i typed review into the search bar, and you my friend have yourself a new subscriber, this was a great video, clean explanations, loved your enthusiasm and energy all around! now I just need to find a site in AUS that I can buy one thats not so expensive as the offical site is selling them for 150$ and thats madness!!

[@mysterykitty587]

I mean.... I'm just looking into more lately emulator devices aaaaand idk if this thing can play all pokemon gba/ds games for me buttery smooth without crashes or problems then its fricken worth $150 to me considering physical authentic cartridges of the pokemon games all are ranging between $100-$200 for ONE game. Its fricken ridiculous... I just want to be able to play the gba/ds/3ds pokemon games without it obliterating my bank account...

[@mitchellhoward3580]

So glad this video popped up. My wife and kids got me the 35xx for my birthday a few months ago but the toddler knocked it off the back of the couch and the screen broke. The replacement screen was almost the same cost as getting a new one. I bought through your Amazon link and got a 5% coupon. Keep up the good work

[@GamerBuds]

This looks pretty sick! I’ve never owned a physical emulator before but this one might just be that! I really like the sleek look of the black one too! Thanks for the review dude 🙌🏼!!!

[@Cyko..]

Nice review! This thing is a STEAL for under $70! I got mine in clear purple and it looks great! The purple is very subtle. I put Batocera Lite on mine and it runs great! Boot up time takes about 45 seconds though, but that's a lot better than it was a couple weeks ago when it took a minute and 50 seconds! I was amazed at how well N64 and Dreamcast worked! N64's Conker's Bad Fur Day and WWF No Mercy were no problem! Dead or Alive 2, one of the harder Dreamcast games to emulate, ran just like I remembered it! An amazing system! Feels great in the hands, battery lasts a long time, controls are excellent, and the screen is beautiful! Worth every penny!

[@Portly]

Been considering trying Batocera once this video was done. I’ll have to check it out!

[@Cyko..]

@@Portly I did the same thing as you and compared sizes by placing it directly on top of my Switch Lite on my Instagram a couple weeks ago! 🤣😂 I’m running Batocera Lite in the photo and it looks great!

[@Cyko..]

UPDATE: Anbernic came out with a stock version 1.1.6 so I tried that, and WOW! It's not as flashy and fancy like Batocera was, but performance is MUCH better, and battery lasts longer too. Boot up time for me is about 30 seconds because I added a few more systems through RetroArch (Intellivision, ColecoVision, ZX Spectrum, Amstrad CPC, SG-1000, Odyssey2, etc). Saturn works great for most games I tried, Dreamcast and N64 seem to run a lot better. and PSP was a little better as well. The one thing I miss though is the lack of ports support. Anbernic gave us no documentation whatsoever. I figured out how to get GTA III, GTA Vice City, VVVVVV, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles : Shredder's Revenge to work, but I can not for the life of me figure out how to get Duke Nukem 3D, Sonic Mania, Half-Life, and Shovel Knight to work. I HAD Stardew Valley working but I switched cards and now I can't remember what I did to get it working! 😠I'm not too overly concerned because I have another Anbernic device (the RG351MP with a superb 640x480 screen) and I've got about 30 ports running on that. But it would be nice to have some instructions on how to set up ports, ANBERNIC!

[@howardmalone3]

Does it come pre-loaded with all the Master system games I'm just looking for a handheld to play Master system on

[@suhtangwong]

Nice video! I'm still debating on this one, although I already have mm+, r36s (my fave budget console so far), rp4 pro and deck.

Yeah I still want more of these so I don’t blame you lol

​@@suhtangwong why do you prefer the R36S over your mm+? Heard the buttons and pads are worse than the mm+ which are the most important things on a retro handheld.. otherwise you also could emulate on your smartphone if controls aren't that important

[@CobaltFalconGaming]

I’ve been on a retro kick lately. The fact that I can play the old Pokemon games on it is amazing. I wish I knew more about ROM so I could download Heart Gold / Soul Silver.

[@Bvleis]

Love the video....but for those of us who want to transfer the pokemon from the rom to legit games, its kinda hard/impossible. The way the anbernic saves it's save games and the way it gets transferred just does not work out even using cfw. So if u wanna just play... Get an anbernic, if u wna keep the mon....well get a 3ds haha

[@GingerBradMan21]

im guessing those games are stuttering on n64 and suck on first boot because of shader caching its a common method on many emulators

[@anonymous-th7le]

Is it durable though?? Or it will go off in the first month 😂😂

[@Portly]

It’s been pretty durable so far. It feels higher quality than you might expect. I even have one of their cheaper devices that I’ve had for about 3 years and it’s held up just fine.

[@ZVINTAO]

dude is playing black mage village song from FFIX in the background, huge respect

[@TheMagnificentArtist]

So if I order this through Amazon I’ll have games already on the system? How can I add games?

[@Portly]

It might depend on the Amazon listing but yes most of the ones that include an SD card should have games already. You can add games with a computer by adding your game ROMs into the correct folder on the SD card. If you're not familiar with how to do this there are plenty of guides out there that can show you.

Great video! I just got mine in the mail and its really cool, however I have questions! I actually kind of screwed up already with the "retroarch" settings and cannot get things back to normal/ how I want them. For the most part I plan on playing Pokémon, and I hear that I should download garlic, or some other sort of program that's way over my head. If your could make a video showing a download walkthrough of a good program with games that are reliable roms (as I hear the ones that come with it can have issues). Also a good walkthrough of preffered settings (like fast forward) specifically for Pokémon would be extremely helpful. I DONT SEE GOOD VIDEOS ANYWHERE. Maybe in the next month or so you could make something to help. Something that I can have all my Pokémon's games on, and pick it up in 6 years and continue to play. In the mean time ill be playing with my screwed up settings! haha

The very occasional stutter which doesn't detract, but the retroarch was unplayable. Dreamcast games are solid too. Nice bit of kit to be fair if you can grab it cheap
