Big Android Update for Anbernic RG353 Devices!

Ойындар

** Update: Anbernic released a "v2" of the RG353V, with a different screen, which is not compatible with this Android update. If you buy a recent version of this device, it is likely a "v2" unit. **
Black Seraph has made a new custom Android build for the Anbernic RG353 devices (RG353V, RG353P, and RG353M), which provides improved performance and stability, and the option to add the Google Play Store.

    comparing this update to your videos of the rg353p and the rg353v, if i'm not mistaken you said that EVERY N64 game was able to run at full speed after some tweaks like changing the emulation profile, even Cruisi'n USA, so as far as I can tell the N64 emulation is worse in the Black Serah build than the stock version of Android. Also same with NDS where while using Black Serah build you can play at high res, in the stock version of Android you can double it. In conclusion as a jelOS/ Android user, what you'd get will be a better performance in PSP games + the ability to use the Aurora Store, everything else referring to console emulation is the same or straight up worse. This does not mean that indie programmers should not get credit, since it's great to have as much possibilites to customize your experience. Also we need to consider that is a beta-build but we can't forget it's a 11 euros-per-month beta build after all.

  • @RetroGameCorps

    @RetroGameCorps

    Жыл бұрын

    Great points, one clarification is that the high res setting in DraStic = 2x resolution on NDS, so the performance is the same between those two, I just used two different ways of describing it. My apologies for the confusion. Yes, N64 is a little bit slower on the Android 12 build here, so by going with the Black Seraph build certain games (Cruis'n USA, Conker, 007) won't be full speed. Definitely a tradeoff for the clean and stable Android build here. Bear in mind this is a day one release, and Black Seraph tends to tweak his builds over time and so we will likely see improvements in the coming weeks. He told me that he does have plans to provide a "downgrade" option to Android 9 in the future, which should hopefully open up some better performance as well. Ideally this will give us the best of both worlds!

I guess we'll have to wait and see the final states of the build and I hope to see you in another video discussing the performance boost or any new updates on the project to see if it is worth giving it a try.

    Russ, great review as always. But you have forgotten the most important thing, what actually interests the owners of this console the most: a comparison with the stock version of Android (11). Is it worth upgrading to this Android version of Black Seraph? Is the performance better? Because with the same performance in the end it doesn't make much sense to spend 10 euros when all RG353X already have Android pre-installed... To convince me to change this version of Android 12 it must offer better performance.

    fewt explained it over discord, they COULD implement it, but apparently the way Anbernic set it up, it's dangerous and has led to bugs where people get stuck in only one OS. If Anbernic actually released their sourcers, someone could probably fix it, but they just don't release the sources, even though they promised the devs they would. That's why a lot of them are dropping support for future Anbernic devices.

I wouldn't say *everything* is paid on Android (PPSSPP, Mupen, Flycast, etc), but most do have a optional upgrade, and surely given that the ROMs are free, the emu devs deserve a small one-off fee for their craft?

    Can you do a video where you explain your work flow for your videos? I noticed in your studio tour video that you use a phone to record all of your top-down desk footage. As someone that is starting to make more content, it's interesting to me!

    I likely won't make a video on it, but yeah I use a phone for my top-down content, connected to a boom arm above my desk. I record all my footage over a period of several days, then edit it all together. Then I record the voiceover, and then stitch it all together at the end. Best of luck with making your own content!

    I just got a RG353M and attempted to install this but it just bootlooped on the Anbernic Logo forever which is a shame. If you just got a RG353 device i would still recommend attempting to update unless you are using a newer RG353V ( there is apperently a variant with a new screen called the V2 that bricks if you attempt this). Even if the update doesnt work on all other devices, you can still recover the original android build from the anbernic website and so its reversible (From what i have heard online, reversing the RG353V is difficult but not impossible)

    I really like the RG353M but I feel like this is still not strong enough for such a device (one with two analog sticks). Guess we still have to wait a few years until there will be such a beautiful 4:3 device such as the the mentioned RG353M that's capable of playing Saturn, Dreamcast, PSP, PS2 and GameCube just fine. I'd definitely do a purchase then.

    I feel like this is for the really hardcore retro gamers, (which I am not ) I have an RG353vs (Linux only), and it runs all the games I want to play just fine.(Doom & Zelda), but to me I also feel like the RG353V would be fun to mess around with and modify solely on the android side of things. I'd love to look into it and see if the android version is root friendly and get some custom boot images and ROM's.

    ArkOS also currently not functional on RG353M v2 devices. You can use the modified .dtb file to resolve the display issues, but it only seems to work temporarily. I had to switch to "UnofficialOS" which gives great performance but unfortunately is in desperate need of an update. You can resolve most of the issues and update a lot of the features yourself manually, but it is alot of messing around especially for people that are very new to these devices. GammaOS is another option for the android side, but again requires a lot of messing around to get it functional on v2 devices. Overall if you're looking to buy one of these devices in 2024 I can't recommend the RG353M :( you'll be better off with a RG405M, or if you're not interested in those harder to run dc/n64/psp titles the RG35XXH is a decent little unit for the price.

    My issue with this device is that - more than 2 years after release and with so many devices coming out after it that are more powerful and about the same price. This is the same price as it was at launch. IN fact in the UK the mean price is a little more than it was in 2022. I only really want this one because of the form factor but will now go with something else and put up with it feeling a bit "off".

(obviously same roms). We have enabled the netplay, created the nick. After starting the same game from fbneo or mame or neogeo, from settings - netplay, one chooses item "Host - Start netplay host", and the other tries to connect to that host from the list of available hosts (item : Update host list for netplay), but we always get error! We can't play we're going crazy. Can you help me??
