Hey guys 👋🏽 Anbernic has since updated their software a lot since this review. Theres alot more features now like music player, video player, ebook reader, file manager, and quick shutdown. As well as this theyve same strides to remove many bugs and add support for other systems that were missing before. It's really amazing and Anbernic has come a long way with their software. Check out my update tutorial here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mm2dzrmOc7CyfLw.htmlsi=pLtDdIG6Dg_g-EDi

Thank you! I really use my rg35xx plus very little but I am very happy with what I can play and especially with the powerful CFWs that are yet to come 😁😁💪🏻💪🏻

extremely great review, its noticeable that you have been using the console for a month

Helpful vid once again! I hope you can also make a vid about performance optimization on these handhelds especially on those that run 3D games. Thank you and congratulations on surpassing the 1k subs mark! 🎉🎉🎉

Hello Javi! Thanks to you, I had a soft landing into the world of emulation on my rg35xx plus. You saved me tons of hours! You just got yourself a subscriber. I really appreciate what you're doing! 🤠

you’re my favorite channel of this type, very easy going and informative keep at it! you also have great video ideas, and topics

I love these! you said it yourself, "there is something wrong or illegal to be playing ps1 games on this little box"

Can't wait to get my hands on mine. It's stuck in shipping limbo lol. I got the DMG colored one, but the more I watch videos from you, I kinda wish I got the white. I'll lock myself in when it arrives 😂Definitely looking forward to CFW in the coming months.

Don't feel bad DMG is gorgeous as well. My brother got that one. Trust me, you won't regret it. Hopefully it arrives soon!!!

Excellent video glad I found this channel 😀 👍🏻

Thanks for the review, just purchased it. It's a no brainier

You deserve more cred for these reviews. A bit unpolished in the presentation (little bgm would go a long way) but your enthusiasm and professionalism speaks volumes. Consider this a solid sub well earned

I got mine for Christmas and it also has the light bleeding issue, but mine is on the left side. I was curious if other people had the same problem because I haven't seen it mentioned in other reviews. Definitely annoying but I only really notice it in dark rooms. Very worth it for what this handheld does and the price! I was upgrading from an RG351P and my RG35XX+ has completely replaced that one. The only thing I don't use it for is TV consoles; I use my tablet and an 8bitdo controller for those.

Love the theme you have set up - can you share the images/background you used?

Really enjoyed the review and walk through step by step to set it up. Hopefully a new custom firmware comes out soon. Some emulators frame rate is bad. Sfc and Turbogfx is off as well and the screen size is off. For now I only use Retroarch. Hopefully we can just update over wifi also.

Hey there Javi! Thank you so much for all the videos! I saw in this video that you had a few different PS1/PSP games and also the N64 console & games for N64 as well. I just got mine yesterday in the mail and realized there’s zero mario games and there’s no n64 system/games either. I have the 64gb/128gb option for the Rg35xx+. I was wondering if you were going to make a video on how to get the n64 system/games & Mario games or if there’s a quick way to install them. Thank you so much again for all of the hard work and videos!

Hey bro! Great video. I just purchased my RG35XX Plus and I'm excited to test it out. I'm new to the whole emulator hand held device and I liked how you changed the look and appearance of your IOS. Do you have a tutorial on how to change it from the stock IOS to the one that you have? Thanks so much!

Great vids Javi. Would love your comparison between the RG35XX Plus and the RGB30. Seems those are the kings of PS1 and prior right now. I'm rocking an RG Nano everywhere I go and the RGB30 when I'm expecting longer play sessions, love the combo. Feels like a great time for handheld emulation in general!

You can play NDS and N64 games well on the original RG35XX using Koriki OS which is very pleasing to the eye. PSP work with some tweaks too. Dreamcast also possible but haven't tried. Love the channel btw!

Javi I had question. You said to source yr own games in regards to the Stock sd card and changing it to a 2card setup. How do I get the cover art onto the device?

love your content!

Yes javi, easy vid to watch. You can feel your enthusiasm :) after a month of tinkering, have you seen a way to watch videos on it? Also, does it have a browser built in? My unit is in transit and I'm excited. I bought a controller BTW, cheers for the help with that on your other post :)

Love the videos man. Please add game descriptions in text of the games you’re playing. That would be so nice. Like if the name popped up on screen. Thanks.

Your custom theme looks fantastic! Could you share it with me? I'd like to make some modifications based on yours.

Nice Video! Thanks for sharing. Can you post the list of games you are playing in this video? I see some interesting ones but I don’t know which exact ones are those.. Finding good games has been its own battle for me..

Ive recently received mine and in general it's great, but the audio from the headphone jack is awful. Not sure this is an issue with my unit or in general? Bluetooth also not working for headphones. Finally Bluetooth connection for ps5 controller is also very poor. Would be interested to get community comments on the above, to determine if it's just my unit or not?

If I am looking for a device mainly for GB and GBA games, this can do way more. would you still recommend it or is for just gameboy purposes maybe a better price to performance ratio with a cheaper thing possible?

Hey man I like your content and just wanted some help on how to backup the stock card from RG35XX to a newer SD card where I can still use the stock save files. Hope you can make a video about it. Thanks in advance! and Much love from the Philippines.

Wondering how is the SD card that came with the handset performing after having heard some feedback about it being unstable? is it necessary to change it to a known brand such as Sandisk?

Give us a 1 year update I wanna know how durable it us before buying one, because there is allot of bad reviews on anbernic handheld outside of youtube reviews.

I ordered a retroid pocket 4 pro but I cant wait the 35 days to get it so i ordered one of these tonight.

Can you make a video going through the best settings for n64? I feel like its very game-specific and I need to set game overrides every time I add a new game.

A few questions, hope u can help me out..bought this with 64Gb + 128Gb micro sd..the 64Gb gave out yesterday, and i bought and new 32Gb and a new 128Gb micro sd with a more respectable brand..did the 32Gb thingy for the firmware, following ur guide A to Z.. now for the new 128Gb, should i just copy and paste from the old one to the new one all of the folders like bios, roms etc inside the old one?? Or is there any place i can download for the 128Gb ROM with a more attractive game??saw ur video u played mario kart, mario etc..where did u get it?? Thank u for ur feedback mate

Great vid, thank you!! Just got mine yesterday and already having so much fun. This is my first retro handheld emulator!! I picked up the 64gb version so it didn’t come with any super Mario games preloaded. Anyone know how I can add these? Any help would be much appreciated 🙏

Yeah, just go get those games online. Use a search engine and type whatever console you want, for example. Gameboy advance archive. You should find a bunch of site hosting games you can download from. Get the Mario ones you are interested in playing and then put your sd card on your computer. You'll see a roms folder there. Inside that roms folder, you'll have folders for each of your systems. Just put the games in there. In this example, the game maybe Super Mario Advance .gba. Just put that game inside the folder labeled GBA. After placing it in there safely eject the sd card and put it in your console and you should be good to go.

Hi Javi, how is the moonlight function? Thinking in getting the + model but dont know if the H is "better" (i like more the vertical but dont know if is gonna be comfortable for my medium hands)

@JaviPlayRetro

6 ай бұрын

Heres a couple of things to think about. Horizontal handhelds, in general, are more comfortable. Also, H has joysticks. The Plus is more pocketable. Also, the shoulder buttons on the Plus sound way better, on the H the shoulder buttons are loud and annoying to me. Also the menu button on the Plus is in the perfect position where on the H it is located at the top next to the shoulder button and it is borderline unusable. Also you have an accessible battery compartment on the Plus where on the H we dont. So with all this in mind. You can decide for yourself what is important to you. Hope this helps! Happy Gaming! Also, about moonlight, I haven't personally tested this.

@JaviPlayRetro

6 ай бұрын

Some advice for cheats. Cheats are version specific, so make sure you're on the correct version of Crystal. Also, codebreaker codes seem to work the best. You can try these. www.thatvideogameblog.com/pokemon-crystal-cheats/ Try to do one cheat at a time, and some cheats require mastercodes to work. Also some cheats have specific instructions on how to use them. Like go the pokemart and buy the first item or get your item from the pc. That sort of thing. If he wants to build a dream team from the start youll want to use a wild pokemon modifier code. This will basically change the encounter table so you can get whatever pokemon you want from the beginning. Thats all I got. Hope this helps.
