If anyone is on the fence about buying the RG351P or M, just do it and follow this guide. I did(followed the 2020 edition) and I have never been happier. The RG351P is the most value I've ever gotten out of $100. Thank you RGC for your thorough review of this product and all these guides.

Your channel is the main reason why I've actually gone ahead and bought a 351p. After nearly a decade of trying bluetooth controllers with my various phones, pc emulation and modded consoles, I've always felt like I needed a dedicated retro gaming console. And I'm so happy with the 351P! It runs great on GBA and SNES, I've nearly finished Minish Cap in the 3 days that I've had it. The battery is great, the software support is great, really, this is what I've needed for a long time, so thank you so much!

I'm (hopefully) getting one soon for the same reason. I have a galaxy A03s which isn't too bad up to N64, but I need a dedicated handheld. (Also because a galaxy with a Razer kishi isn't exactly portable)

Just picked up a 351p and I'm loving it! Really appreciate the guides to help us get the most out of this system!

What a great video! Clear calm voice, no studder or going back over your own words. The way I like to learn. Thank you so much for making this video. Just got my rg351p today! Great system can't wait to install these operating systems.

I found your channel today and after 2 hours I bought an RG351M. I can't wait to get it.

This by far is the best how to video I have ever watched on KZread. Clear straightforward directions spoken clearly with the perfect pace. Amazing work, very grateful you took the time and care to do this.

I purchase this device yesterday and browsing tutorials in spanish was a real dissapointment, but this?, this is a real life saver, i cannot tell how much i apreciate this video, i'll make sure to browse all of them related to retro games and how to keep taking the most out of this retro console (M). Thank you very much for all your words, you just made my weekend super nerd bro. Cheers from Chile.

I bought a 351M purely off these videos RGP makes - and I couldn't be happier with it!

Thank you so much for being so clear and concise in your videos. They have a real nice ASMR quality to them too. I'm currently setting up my brand new RG351P -- can't contain my excitement! here we goooo

I'm a latecomer, having just purchased the Abernic RG351M. I was on the fence, trying to decide between the P & M versions, but eventually decided to go with the M version, due to its aluminum case, and WiFi hardware. I'm not new to the handheld gaming genre ( PSP, NDS, and Nintendo Switch ). I'm quite amazed by all that this little system has to offer. Now it's a matter of learning how to use, and get the most out of, the system. Thank you for this instructional video, and showing how, and where, to begin. 👍

A HUGE thank you for all your anbernic videos. I wouldn’t have picked one up without them as I thought emulation and set up of devices was too impenetrable for me. I’m sure I’m not the only one with this story. Stay safe in these crazy times and thank you again.

I’m ordering my very first retro handheld (RG351MP) and these videos have been BEYOND helpful. Bless you sir

this is one of my potential christmas gifts, so I'm gonna save this guide for a later potential watch :) This was incredibly useful!

Awesome video! You're definitely helping grow the interest in these retro game handhelds. I can't wait for Anbernic to come up with a larger 4.5" or 5" display and larger battery.

Just got the 351M, hats off to you for this channel's body of work. I'm a complete noob and the help this channel provides is immense. Thank you so much!

My 351M is arriving today!! This video is so awesome - big thank you for doing this for us noobs!!! Also, your presentation is excellent, it's pitched at just the right level (i.e. you don't waste time telling us how to download stuff we would already know how to download etc). All in all, great work!

Thanks for the updated guide! I purchased a 351m and a Retroid P2 at the same time to compare them, and I agree that the 351m is way better for beginners. I returned the RP2 because it just needs more time in the oven to be user friendly and work out some of the software bugs. My screen wouldn't show a picture most of the time when the battery was below 60%. Start up time and overly complicated OS upgrade guides just make it too much of a hassle. Plus it does feel cheaply made compared to the 351. So the 351 needs two things to be complete that no one would ever consider buying a competitor. It needs a 640x480 4" screen, and more importantly it *needs* an HDMI out. The HDMI out was the main reason I even wanted a RP2. So hopefully this year we'll get a 352m with a slightly better chipset for PSP emulation, 4" 480p 4:3 screen and HDMI out.

Hot damn, your timing could not be better. I'm expecting my RG351M in the mail today!

For those who feel the need to "understand" every step of what they do, or who may find themselves constantly excited by all the features, there are a lot of rabbit holes to fall down... Unfortunately, I am in the latter camp, lol. I've spent a lot more time messing with the settings than I have actually playing on the device at this point, but I don't think that's too strange for the first week. I went with 351elec for my firmware and I think it's what I'll stick with. The customization and features of ArkOS are really appealing, but I know 351elec is the simpler of the two and I don't think I'm ready for something more than that. The RG351M feels amazing in the hand, by the way. Wow. Really satisfying just to hold and look at. I'm also glad I went with this over the P because I find myself using the wifi ability a LOT and it's nice to not have an extra 2 part dongle to worry about.

I don’t know if this changes anything for anyone but I just received my 351M and there was no sticker over the sd card so I guess they’ve stopped doing that. Also I’ve never seen someone mention it so I don’t know if they’ve always done this with these but mine came with an anbernic branded case and a screen protector that’s actually the right size. They didn’t mention that these things were included anywhere on the website so it was a nice little bonus! I was actually worried about trying to find a case that would work for this thing but anbernic took care of it for me. I’m super impressed with the quality of the device itself and the packaging and presentation in general was really nice. I’ve heard nothing but good things about anbernic but I was still skeptical buying a relatively unknown console from some Chinese company. They definitely blew me away, everything about it has exceeded my expectations so far, from the packaging to the build quality of the device itself. Everyone says the metal one feels really nice but i seriously wasn’t expecting it to feel THIS nice. It feels a lot more expensive than it is

I got mine yesterday and watched the other video on this instead but I'm watching anyway! Really big fan of the RG351p as a Gameboy Advance nerd
