Anbernic RG28XX Review: A tiny powerhouse

Ойындар

Lets take a look at the latest release from ‪@ANBERNIC‬ the RG28XX. Being the smallest in the line up with the same amount of power has its advantages, but is power enough to make up for some missing features ? Join me as we explore this compact device's features and performance.

    Thanks for this video- was thinking of trying the RG35XX H- but want something more pocketable and this unit will hit the spot , I know it’s not guaranteed I’m hopeful for better DS emulation - there are so many Mario Kart Romhacks that I would absolutely love to play on the go, and this would double this devices value to me.

    I bought mine specifically for N64 and so far I haven't been disappointed,...once I learned that you have to put N64 games into the device before the emulator will show up,...as mine looked like it didn't come with it at first. Its not the best handheld out there, as its basically just a replacement for the Trimui Smart, but I do like it,...though I would have liked a 286m a lot more. 😁

    the device has the classic RG35XX color option but the device to me is mid, because it doesn't have analog sticks I can say it is ok and N64 is good since the D-pad is small but the device is really small for me, I think the device in-general was made for kids and adults with small hands.

You can also try turning on skip GPU readback, but some games will need it or they'll crash. Unfortunately PSP is going to be rough until until we get an update or CFW, but even then it won't be ideal.
