A new take on the Gameboy Advance SP (Anbernic RG35XXSP Review)
Ғылым және технология
The #Anbernic RG35XXSP is decidedly a machine meant to mimmic the classic #Gameboy Advance SP, down to its hinge and shoulder buttons. Copying the design of a great handheld isn’t necessarily a bad thing though as long as the new device has more to offer than nostalgia. Does the XXSP rise to the challenge?

Great review!! I recently got one after seeing all the buzz online and I have not been disappointed. I have a working GBA SP, and Analogue Pocket, and I also recently got an Anbernic RG Cube. Too many devices, I know..... But somehow the RG35XXSP is the one I keep picking up. It's just so pocketable, and the clamsheel is very satisfying. I know some (like yourself) found the buttons too clicky, but I find that I like them and got used to them quickly. I recently put the muOS custom firmware on it, they just did a major update to that. With the muOS it's pretty much perfect. I understand it has issues with HDMI and Bluetooth, but so far I have not used those on this device. All I am really using is RetroArch and muOS is great for that. I haven't messed around with things like portmaster and pico8 yet, but they look interesting so I might. I'm wrestling with retroarch's configurations a bit, but there's so many online resources to learn about that. Anyway, I love this device, and I really enjoyed your review!
I'm definitely interested in one since the games in your vid look fun
I have one but haven't played on it more than 5 mins. Good review, saves me time. Now to find a better ui, I believe ones out now.
I’d love to get one just for nostalgic reasons. But honestly my steam deck is op. And I really don’t need it. Maybe I’ll ask for one on my bday or something. ✌🏽

Anbernic knocked it out of the park. Did what other handheld manufacturers couldn't. cough Retroid cough

Ngl, I'm still kinda salty about Retroid's hinge design. Every time I open my Flip and feel the screen smack against my fingers, I continue wondering why they didn't just copy Nintendo's homework.
Yeah the rg35xxh also has joycons for very cheap; around £35 before tax on aliexpress
So close to perfect if it ONLY had the GBA cartridge slot too... Hardware clones help keep the physical game market alive...

I feel ya. Even if it were a software emulation solution (like the Epilogue Operator), a physical cart slot would be fantastic in a cheap handheld like the XXSP.

@@GameXData I have been looking for exactly this and haven't had any luck. Are there any handhelds that keep the physical slot?

@varlunmulland3992 Your best bet right would be an FPGA handheld like the Analogue Pocket. It's expensive but well worth it for folks with large physical game collections.

@varlunmulland3992 Either waiting for new stock or trying the secondhand market are going to be your best bet then
Great until the battery heatsink explodes or the CPU burns.
