Great review!! I recently got one after seeing all the buzz online and I have not been disappointed. I have a working GBA SP, and Analogue Pocket, and I also recently got an Anbernic RG Cube. Too many devices, I know..... But somehow the RG35XXSP is the one I keep picking up. It's just so pocketable, and the clamsheel is very satisfying. I know some (like yourself) found the buttons too clicky, but I find that I like them and got used to them quickly. I recently put the muOS custom firmware on it, they just did a major update to that. With the muOS it's pretty much perfect. I understand it has issues with HDMI and Bluetooth, but so far I have not used those on this device. All I am really using is RetroArch and muOS is great for that. I haven't messed around with things like portmaster and pico8 yet, but they look interesting so I might. I'm wrestling with retroarch's configurations a bit, but there's so many online resources to learn about that. Anyway, I love this device, and I really enjoyed your review!
I’d love to get one just for nostalgic reasons. But honestly my steam deck is op. And I really don’t need it. Maybe I’ll ask for one on my bday or something. ✌🏽
Ngl, I'm still kinda salty about Retroid's hinge design. Every time I open my Flip and feel the screen smack against my fingers, I continue wondering why they didn't just copy Nintendo's homework.
I feel ya. Even if it were a software emulation solution (like the Epilogue Operator), a physical cart slot would be fantastic in a cheap handheld like the XXSP.
@varlunmulland3992 Your best bet right would be an FPGA handheld like the Analogue Pocket. It's expensive but well worth it for folks with large physical game collections.
