happy birthday 🎉
Thank you 😄🦇🦇🦇
It gives you only about 3/4 fps more
It really depends on what you're playing and it also clears up a lot of useless background processes. There are some advantages from it
Thanks for the helpful video, with the new SD card the games are working again. Before that I had used a function for GBA games where you press the left and right stick at the same time. A menu then appeared where you could save states, among other things. Unfortunately, this no longer works with the new SD card. Any suggestions on how to get back to the menu with the save states etc.?
I'm glad it helped. I don't have access to this handheld now, but usually depending on which emulator your game is running on, you can hit start/select/or the menu button to bring up the emulators menu while you're in a game (sometime to get the menu to pop up it can be weird button combos) If you're running a game using RetroArch as your emulator, usually you have button combos for shortcuts you can press to save/load a state
What was the game being played at the beginning?
New Super Mario Bros on Nintendo DS
No the driving game you were playing around 0:21
Oh that's Crazy Taxi for Dreamcast. So fun to play. It was an arcade game too with a seat, steering wheel, and foot pedals
this method works really well on the original n64 version as well! the only thing that really made me mad is the rng that dr doak can be anywhere, but with enough tries he ended up being in the right spot and i got this cheat with 20 seconds to spare.
Nice lol yeah sometimes even when I play casually and he's off in the laboratory to the right side somewhere I don't even bother 😂 I love being able to play using an Xbox controller it's so nice. But we definitely wore out a few N64 sticks playing this!
@@batpixel modern controllers feel foreign to games like this in my opinion lol
I will always fully support and understand the preference for using the original hardware 👌 I regret selling my N64 smoke grey console with matching controller. It had a good stick too. I may have to invest in one again sometime
@@batpixel well, i'm not actually playing on original hardware, but i am playing on an emulator with video plugins to make it accurate to the actual hardware. on top of that i am using a usb n64 controller just to get even more to the real thing without investing thousands into the actual hardware.
Sounds like a good setup 👍
Is there a reason why the rg35xx h runs out of charge super fast even after doing a full shutdown? I havent used my rg351p in over a year and it still had a 93% charge and took hours for it to die during gameplay. Keeps a charge just fine too. I was looking forward to replacing it with the 35xx h but with that battery issue that's not happening. Is this an issue with the other xx devices? Is it the OS that could be the problem? I have knulli.
I haven't experienced that issue. It sounds like you might have a dud. You could try changing the OS to muOS to see if it'd change anything
Is there another link to the firmware 1.04 update I been trying to find one with no luck cause its going like 300-350kbs lol says estimated 2 days crazy slow
The only one I've used is the link directly from their website
@@batpixel True yeah I'm gonna just give muOS a go instead of the stock OS update since they have configured it for the SP now
I’m so glad they made easy to turn off cpu boost. Even though the sd card reader is still a persistent issue I bought one of these devices today because I saw the software and constant updates from asus really improved the ally
Yeah I'm glad they are improving it the best they can. You'll get an extended warranty on the SD card reader issue. Also keep your receipt for your SD card in case it ever breaks. But they're being reasonable about it. I'm going to be making an updated video soon too, as my latest one was in January
@@batpixelcan’t wait to see it!
Congrats on picking the best color
It is very cool looking 😄 I'd like to see a yellow version like the Powkiddy V90. I'm pumped to see what custom shell makers will release for this
Yeah we nned more option. Acid yellow would be rad @@batpixel
The firmware update that you should download from the Anbernic website is 46GB??
The unit charges fine with a standard A to C power cable. They never claimed to have fast charging and I don't think its an issue for the price. It's a good product. The only issue I found was was minor? light bleed at the bottom of the screen but only really noticeable on a black screen. As reported by enough people on reddit. Compared with the amazing game menu it's not going to bother me when you can adjust brightness and can't really see anything when playing Other manufacturers have this issue reported as high as a £150 Price point so its something I will keep an eye on
Yeah there's been a few devices I've made videos about and people have had the same black screen issue. It's annoying, but can be fixed. This is definitely an awesome device and well received in the community 👌
Try to expand partition with disk genius to eecover your 128gb
Thanks for the tip! I tried expanding using MiniTool and a couple of tutorials on KZread as well. But no luck. I'll try Disk Genius and if it works, I'll definitely make a video about it 👌
Do you know if the USB C that comes with the gamepad to charge the phone passes data? I want to connect headphones via USB C through that port. Thank you!
I don't believe so. I just plugged in a USB stick and it doesn't pick it up. I don't have headphones to test though
Don’t use game rooms it’s garbage The blue sd cards that come with are made by Toshiba and have been pretty accepted by the community as useable. The black no name cards yes indeed change that shite out.
I'm glad they are finally putting reliable cards in these
I have it and LOVE it!!! The masking tape button mods perfect the hardware, reducing click sounds and completely eliminating button rattle!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I personally love the clicky buttons lol but I'm glad that option exists. It reminds me of the Powkiddy V90 dpad tape mod I did 👌
Happy Birthday!
Thanks!! 🤘🦇
Wwe?
Happy birthday to you! What an awesome video. The game snap at the end made me laugh lots. Keep up the amazing reviews man. 🎮🎉
Thank you 😂 glad you liked it
How do you switch the red & black wires for sound??? Solder it ????
Yep 👌
Happy Birthday ❤
Haha thanks! Great timing for this release 😂
Thanks for the video. I am sure you will be able to expend the memory. I use a pi to do it but I think windows has a disk manager in it. Also the new firmware does it come with the games (if you did not get the 128 gig one?
I tried a couple of tutorials on expanding memory with a couple of software types. It wouldn't let me expand or merge it with the unused portion. The new firmware comes with games on it
Cool I 🤔 I think that's the first thing I will do when I get mine. Update it then test the fun!
Definitely 👌 always good to do a backup anyway just in case. And you can add your own games very very easily, I just can't say how lol
@@batpixelI think I know how. 😊
That blue card is from Toshiba. There was no need to replace it.
Thats good to know. Thank you 🙌
Kioxia is a leader in high capacity SSD these days. Really annoys me that a ton of youtubers think they are a garbage brand 🤦🏻♂️ I've had more Sandisk products corrupt and fail over the years than any other named brand 😂
Great video
Thank you 🦇
no one wants this format lol
I do.
Where have you been? 😂
I do too 🙋♂️
So I got myself a RG35XX recently. A friend of mine started playing it. So I showed her this and she yelled out "I loved the Gameboy SP!"
Hahaha that's awesome. The Game Boy SP was genius
Happy birthday!! I got mine yesterday, but retroarch is so difficult for me. I've been watching videos and still only understand basically what I already figured out myself. There's so many menus and options. Plus all the files that dont need to be seen. Like just alot, i hope I can grasp it and customize to my liking soon. Spent the last 2 days trying to get it set up. Also how do you get the gameroom/ RA game folder to read card? Mine are always empty, so I have to use retroarch itself. Just wish it was not so difficult for somethimg that should be plug and play. I love clamshells and would like to get this working to play. Also the touch power button to analog does not work for me. I also mapped the d pad to the analog controls for n64. But it unfortunately does not work for me. Does any of this become second nature.
Thank you! It sounds like your unit may be defective? You could try doing the software update to see if it fixes anything. You should be able to do a return for a new one if you need to. Also, try watching some RetroArch guides on KZread they can be very helpful. I read about it on Reddit too
@batpixel You're welcome, thank you for the fast reply. I hope it's not defective. I'll see what I can do. I did update and download the latest firmware. I just can't get the D pad to emulate joystick and I don't see anything showing up under RA folder. I have to go into the Retroarch app itself. It be a bummer to have to send it back. Would I just message the company I bought it from or contact Anbernic themselves? Everything else appears to work. I can play games when I do load them. I just have a learning curve ahead of me lol. But those where the two things I don't have out of the box. Is the RA folder is just empty and the analog option. I'll keep looking around, but also try sending a message to Anbernic maybe before it gets to late.
I'd say contact whoever you bought it from
@batpixel Sounds good, many thanks again for the replies and video. I hope you have a great day or evening.

What is this sorcery?! 60 degrees to 48 degrees with Tip 1? Thx so much ❤
Glad it was helpful! You can turn that off and on in the Command Center now since they updated it! You should check out my video releases in January about some awesome updates
@@batpixel Will check it out, and a subscribe for u sir
Thank you 🙏 and welcome to the channel! 🦇🦇🦇
Thanks for the video pal. It was good as always man! As I’ve said times before, I’ve STILL hadn’t picked up an emulation handheld. (Call it gun shy, should put money to something better, what have you) I did not know that the official firmware was customizable. Good to know, I learned something today. and of course custom can be fun to play with too. I like the design here, and good on ya for walking us through the retroarch hot keys.
Thanks I appreciate it. I'm glad it was helpful. I had to make sure the differences with the V90 was shown. Are you going to take the risk with the 6 button Genesis style handheld?? 😄 if not, are you leaning towards any?
@@batpixel certainly would like the “Genesis one”. The reviews all look good, and for myself, I think I’ll prefer the six button layout more than dual sticks. Though I understand they too have their use case. I gotta convince myself to just go for it, ya know
@@batpixel holy crap! Totally forgot to say, my bad! Happy birthday man!
LOL thanks! 😆 perfect timing with the SP release 👾🤘
The Kioxia cards are safe to use and keep, they used to be a memory centric spin-off of TOSHIBA but rebranded to a different name in 2019. It's the black unbranded cards that you need to watch out for! Good video, by the way!
Interesting thank you 👌
@@batpixel i can also second this comment 👍. Accurate statement, kioxia is just bassically toshiba rebranded, in china i belive its like the equivelent of whaT sandisk is to us here in the US. Great vid 👏, Just if you were curious
Cool! Yeah any information like that I fully appreciate. I'm glad they replaced the software card with a reliable one
I third this, I'm using kioxia SD with rocknix flashed img with my rg353vs and it's ok
@alexisdanel9370 thanks for the input 👌 I may try a software someone reccomended to expand the storage as well

What about the 16 GB firmware? I'm assuming it's the same thing without ROMs. If so why not just install the 16 GB onto a 16 GB card and ROMs into the other secondary SD card?
I never touched that as the buying options for the SP starts with the 64GB. But yes you're right, you could just have the software on 1 card. I've also learned the 64GB card that comes with it is a reliable brand from Toshiba, so that can still be used. But definitely don't keep any of the black ones for expanded storage
I hang up the phone but the light doesn't turn on why?
Is the phone plugged in all the way? Remove your case. If it's an iPhone, put it in iPhone mode. Also use the app to help connect
Hey I followed this guide it was pretty helpful up into the point of getting games on the system. I have the games in the right place but when I insert it into the sytem it won't show them.
That's strange. On newer systems you may need bios files. But if not then try an updated guide video as they may have changed something. I never had any issues. You could try the install again as their may have been an error
Stadia? How old is this thing?
haha I wouldn't go by that. I'm not sure of the release date, but the app and performance worked very well on my S24. There are a lot of options out there for these types of controllers though
I can’t find edit power plan bro ):
You can now do this using your command center 👌 check out my updated video from January 2024
Can you play using bluetooth without being pluged in ?
It needs to be plugged in
Thank you for thi as I will try and fix my version as it came without the Operating system and would not turn on - i only got the games disc... So at least i can try and do this. As my one will not even turn on....
Yeah these corrupt easy with original SD cards
the stiffnes is really true but it gets alot better after you like use it a bunch and now it feels just nomal
Yeah that's a good outcome definitely
@@batpixel 100%
how thick is the tape on the d-pad? would using one of those little rubber bumpers on cabinet doors work instead.
No that would be way too much. It depends on the tape, I'd say start with 4 layers and work your way up until you have it the way you want it. You could try 10 layers but it might be too tight for the dpad. It's only like a mm thick
Do they have nba 2k19 as what they claim?
Not this one
16:9 on a device that's whole purpose is to play games that aren't designed for a 16:9 ratio is such a waste. Still waiting for that 5-inch 4:3 screen on some device.
Yeah that's a no go for some people definitely. Have you seen any device out there or do you own any that you like yet?
@batpixel Nope. I have an Anbernic RG353P that I'm pretty happy with for now. But I'd love a proper 5 inch screen, 4:3 screen, with some good ergonomics. I don't even need that much more power really.
Yeah you'd think they would make more with such a huge fan base of those generations
Hi! I have a huuuuge doubt and I haven't been able to find anything about it! I got mine yesterday and looked for Yoshi's island at once since it's my favorite game. The thing is, everything looks exactly the same, except the levels are levels I haven't seen never before and there is no record of them. I tried looking by level name, Super Mario wikis, but there is just no record of the levels that this Yoshi's island in this console has. Do you have by any chance any idea of why are they different from the original?
I'm not sure. Maybe it's a 'homebrew' game or did different countries have extra levels? 😂 check if you have the Game Boy Advance version of it on the device as well and see if there's a difference
What about AMD updates???
My last update video was in January 2024 and a lot of this is easier to access now. I'll have a 1 year update coming out soon as well
I followed to a tee not I just don't know how to get the files in my room folder as all it contains is 2 text docs titled Metadata and system info. Any advice? I've got a 5 yr old I want to show the world of dreamcast. Thanks in advance. Be well!
I would suggest watching specific videos on KZread about setting up a Dreamcast emulator. You should be able to transition the info from one of those guides to your Ally the exact same way, as it's just a Windows 11 device
