The 353PS (and other Anbernic handhelds) happen to be on sale today! This is now under $90. Check our description for link.

i just ordered one. been rocking the OG RG350 for years now and i love the device, and i can play my games just fine. but i just cant enjoy ps1 games on the old RG350 due to the inline shoulder buttons. so really, just buying this for the sake of a better shoulder buttons placement and for a "slight" upgrade since i already owned a steam deck.

@JakeSulinjr Год назад

Dude, you're getting a sub & bell from me for sure! I'm super busy, and while I like some of the other retro emulation handheld reviewers, they tend to make long drawn-out videos with the information I need scattered throughout them. I was able to click this and get all the information I needed right upfront quickly with no BS. Thanks so much!

@leelee7334 Год назад

I love this design. I would rather have it the same dimensions as the S30 or the Data Frog but it’s good. I couldn’t stop hitting the power button. I also agree this would be good with a T618 in it. I actually like the small screen versus a 7 inch. I do believe this isn’t the last controller handheld. I’m pretty burnt out on 3566 devices. It’s sad that this get beaten by the RP2+ in performance.

@dudesk099 Год назад

I definitely feel that. Crazy how far ahead RP2+ was even now.

@thepenultimateninja5797 9 месяцев назад

I just got one of these, and it's perfect for my needs. I previously had an RG35XX. It was a great device, but I had trouble playing PSX on it because it's awkward to hold while using the shoulder buttons. The RG353PS is just about perfect in every way; comfortable to use, great OS (Batocera based), great screen, good battery life, and easily powerful enough for the systems I want to emulate.

@retrohandhelds 9 месяцев назад

It's definitely a nice little package glad you're enjoying it

@wordsmith451 Год назад

It is awesome for price performance and a return to form. Solid budget device. For me, however, i find it absolutely worth it to spend almost double and buy a 405M. It's even more pocketable, premium, and powerful, and it does just about everything I want it to, plays great with long battery life, and is small enough I can lose it in my pocket. Can't lose. Worth the extra.

@KyleRuggles Год назад

I'd highly recommend this to anyone who wants to play Dreamcast and below that doesn't break the bank. I'd get this if I haven't had an RP3+, an Odin and an RG351V. Great review!

@KermenTheFrog Год назад

Oh wow JELOS works didn't know that. I Installed ARKOS the rg353m version which was recommended. Really enjoying my 353ps great value really nice screen and great build quality

@retrohandhelds Год назад

Both are great options, I just like how clean jelOS looks.

@ComeJesusChrist Год назад

If you regularly want to play PSP, get a Vita or a Retroid Pocket 3 Plus. If you want Android, get the Retroid. This is still an amazing little device and at the price, it’s a bargain. I’ve got one and it’s better than any other handheld for the money as it’s currently around £68-90, depending the offer you may find.

@SlowMovingSaddles Год назад

Great review! I like what I see 😊 Question: Is it possible to play C64 and Amiga games? I didn’t see these systems in the video.

@retrohandhelds Год назад

You should be able to since RetroArch supports them, just not sure how well the controller set up would work.

@SlowMovingSaddles Год назад

@@retrohandhelds thanks for your reply!

@michaeldemers2716 Год назад

This one covers all the bases. I need Bluetooth and HDMI out. Dreamcast has a ton of games. Ikaruga is awesome and Resident Evil Code Name Veronica too. Plus I like Ultimate Ghosts n Goblins and Dracula X for PSP. I may get this but I want an Orange Pi 800 so I don't know what part of my brain will win. I think it will be the Pi. I may go for Android 12 OS.

@markhead21 Год назад

I have the 353P, and while I don't use android much at all, I've found it useful for directly downloading roms from other devices, cloud storage and the internet. I think I'd rather have it than not personally.

This is interesting. I might get this. Though how would you add homebrew and romhacks to it? An example of what I am thinking of would be Pokemon FireRed Rocket Edition or Pokemon Sweet Version.

@retrohandhelds Год назад

You just drop the rom hack in the right folder, for example FireRed rocket edition goes in the GBA folder and that's it it runs like any other GBA game.

Rg353ps is the best horizontal budget handheld Rg35xx is the best vertical budge handheld For higher specs obviously the rg353v or rp3+ or steam deck is the next step Rg353ps is insanely good for the price. I love playing mine

@johnsducks9816 Год назад

Personally i really wish they would have stuck with the chocolate bar anbernic design for this one. This one looks cool but just ends up being so much bigger and less pocketable

I agree it's less pocketable but I would argue it's more comfortable.

If I have a modded ps vita are ready would this still be worth owning? What I would like is to have a handheld that can play Dreamcast games mostly that can be connected to tv if I wish, this rg353ps has the nicest design in terms of ergonomics ( and colour scheme of the dmg) would this be a good fit for my self? I was thinking the retroid pocket flip but the hinge cracking issue is a major put off. Don’t want anything expensive or big, something that has a retro vibe I can put in my pocket and not notice. Any recommendations , the retro handheld market is flooded with so many now with slight differences that I’m not even sure what is and isn’t a good buy.

After two years of watching videos I think I am finally going to buy one. You mentioned at the end of the video that are better options if I am willing to pay more. So what would I be curious about that plugs into the TV possibly bigger screen like 5 inch or bigger for handheld preloaded of course that plays what this one doesn't? Like Dreamcast and N64 and so on. I especially love RPGs. I hear the 405m is good but the screen is small and it doesn't connect to the TV. Thank you for any opinions about my questions. Also is there a card for the 353ps that has more than the 4k of games. I think this one has only 78 PS1 games and almost no Sega choices mostly just a big chunk being SNES which is awesome but still, thank you

@bilditup1 Год назад

If the buttons are to remain this small then they need to be spaced further apart, and if they’re not gonna be space further apart then they need to be made even smaller so that they don’t all fit under your thumb. That’s almost acceptable in a very small device or even an RG35XX/Miyoo Mini+ but here it’s really disappointing

@retrohandhelds Год назад

Yeah it's really not ideal but it's not something that would keep me from using it, I just wish they would have made that change.

@STR82DVD 11 месяцев назад

Retroid changed the game with the release of the RP2s with analog triggers as stock on a $99 system. Anbernic is really not going to have much choice when it comes to handheld design. When you fail to innovate, when you fail to bend to market pressures, you just fail. This unit is a good example of Anbernic pushing out another retro handheld with little perceptible innovation from the last unit that looked pretty much the same as this.

@dadou193 8 месяцев назад

except the RP2s is about 20$ more (80 instead of 100), and more importantly the shipping cost is quiet high on their website, for some countries it's like 30-40$ shipping, compared to the anbernic device which has free shipping to most countries on their website. So it's a bit unfair to compare them considering the price difference. For the same price, you are probably right, but if you can get this anbernic one for USD 80 free shipping compared to the RP2s at 100+40 =140 USD. That's a huge difference.

@STR82DVD 8 месяцев назад

@@dadou193 All great points in favour of Anbernic to be sure. I think at this point, both company's product lines are solid and really, it's a matter of which design ethos you buy into. I'm a Retroid man myself but I also have a number of Anbernic units that I felt needed to be in my collection as well. I win, as the consumer, either way.

The analogue sticks on this device are shockingly uncomfortable. This is a shame as they are really helpful for 16 and 32 bit beat em ups which this device has droves of. Why they are recessed is a mystery. When you move them to the furthest point from centre your thumb meets plastic. After about an hours play I decided for the games i wanted to play this wasnt going to suit me. The analogue stick is actually nuch better on the £20 Sf Data frog 2000.
