Anbernic's new RG35XXSP is a rare feat in the budget handheld space, in that it combines excellent performance, hardware, and software into one package, with very few compromises. In this video we'll take a look at my past several days with the device and why I think it's a no-brainer for clamshell retro handheld enthusiasts.

A couple updates: - I filmed more USB charging footage but forgot to include it! The charging experience is the same as always -- USB-A to C cables will work, C-to-C cables may work if you use a (non-PD) charger, and some lower PD chargers may work but most won't. Anbernic really needs to add the proper resistors to their board to standardize the charging process. - You can play HDMI with the shell closed but the device needs to be plugged into power at the same time. Shoutout to The Phawx for figuring that out! - I said "3.3x integer scale" etc in my scaling/screen section, but that's not correct, I should have just said "3.3x scale". Please don't be mad.

@xXSuperGXxx 15 дней назад

You have stuff like 2.7x integer scale on the screen too... This is surely also in error?

@RetroGameCorps 15 дней назад

@@xXSuperGXxx yes I was referring to all of those figures, and used 3.3x as the example.

@Xirtamani 15 дней назад

Something else to add maybe: Batocera runs on the RG35XX Plus/H, so it should run here too and it can use bluetooth audio. Also, what actual resolution the HDMI is using would be a useful info. Aspect ratio correction can also be done via the Screen/TV settings (screen sometimes, TV usually)

A perfect option for shutting the device would be putting it to sleep with a delayed shut-off. So, if I close the device, it goes to sleep, and if it stays closed for 5 minutes, it turns off, then we can adjust the time frame it stays in sleep before turning off. That way it won't drain the battery too much in sleep, but if I want to close it just for five, ten, or thirty minutes, then when I pick it back up I don't have to wait 20 minutes for it to boot up each time.

@RetroGameCorps 15 дней назад

That would be a nice feature!

@nefariou5 14 дней назад

"I don't have to wait 20 minutes for it to boot up each time." the boot is 20 seconds, not 20 minutes. I'm sure you probably meant seconds, but just in case, 20 seconds is not nearly as bad a wait as 20 mins!

I still have my childhood SP. It’s been upgraded with an IPS screen and expanded with an Everdrive Mini, but is otherwise the same handheld I’ve had for decades. Others have come and gone but I keep finding myself going back to the SP, if only for the clamshell design and perfect controls. I’m super excited to try this out and hopefully the emulation is good enough for it to finally replace my SP with something almost as compact but much more capable. Thanks for the review!

@solidunit 15 дней назад

Nitpicks: - 2.7 is not an integer so it doesn’t make sense to say “2.7x integer scale”. You could say 2.7x scale or 2.7x non-integer scale - non-integer scales can be taken care of with “sharp bilinear” shaders (if shaders are available on the device). Looks nearly as good as integer scale, that most people wont notice the difference

@fryke День назад

Got mine yesterday, loving it with MinUI, which has just added the perfect lid-action. It goes to sleep when you close the lid. If you open it within about 2 minutes, it'll be right back. If you let it sleep for longer than that, it saves its state and shuts down. That's perfection. I only miss two things in MinUI: The quick switcher from OnionOS, and a Favorites list. I guess I'll use the recently played list for that, but Favorites would be better.

@FluxFimbulvetr 15 дней назад

@MrDeadpixel123 4 дня назад

Very thorough review. Appreciate all the efforts you make in creating all of these videos. Love them all. On a side note, in addition to your Contra test, I think you should also consider adding a Drill Dozer test, because, to me, that gives the best indication of whether or not the shoulder buttons are well made. I just purchased my first RG35XX Plus and, yes, the shoulder buttons rattle, but also, their release actuation occurs way at the bottom, way before the buttons are released. It was the worst with L2. I had to hold it down with so much force to keep it activated in other games. Had I seen how those perform in a game like Drill Dozer, I would’ve known this wasn’t the unit for me. Sadly, I’ll be returning it. Anyway, just a thought. Looking forward to your next videos. Peace, bro.

@WillC1020 15 дней назад

Thanks Russ. I enjoy clamshell devices, and this one is awesome. However, I already own the 35XXH and does not seem to make sense to pick up the SP. The stereo speakers and sticks allow for me to fully utilize the chipset capabilities. Glad you went over this towards the end of the video. Lastly some will eventually prefer no sticks and more of a vertical based device. Thanks for sharing.

@TomBoss123 15 дней назад

Reposting my comment that I made on Taki's video: I would personally hold off on buying this. Anbernic is still using their barebones OS that is also STILL in a lackluster state on the other RG35 devices - which normally wouldn't be a problem due to the option of using a custom OS. But those are also not at a stable and full-featured state yet. Batocera Lite is still missing features and has some wonky emulation, KNULLI (which is based on Batocera Lite IIRC) is currently only available for the SP device and also in a very unfinished state. OnionOS has finally received an update after months of silence but it also very much still an alpha. I bought a RG35XX+ a couple months back and it has been collecting dust ever since because none of the current software options are satisfactory. Also, Anbernic devices usually go on sale a couple months after release which is also a reason to wait.

With the firmware update to improve brightness settings and dpad tape mod fix, it's usable but nothing really excuses the battery. Problem with the A30 and no custom firmware out of the gate along with serious competition from other companies, for a few dollars more in a horizontal layout it's possible to get the RG35xxH which is superior and not much larger. For that reason I can't really buy into the RG28xx either without at least wifi. Generally, there's no rush for any of these handhelds save for the original Miyoo Mini which people still try to resell for ridiculous prices as 'rare.'

I love the Emulation Station front end and have been enjoying it on my RGB30 and it'd be nice to have a similar experience on both.

@dominikcech1478 15 дней назад

This video shows yet again why you're the best reviewer of these devices. The software section alone should set a standard for others - instead of trying things for five minutes and complaining the dpad doesn't work for dreamcast/PSP, a little bit of involvement allows you to showcase and debunk some stuff (power button analog toggle, quick shutdown and its options, MuOS and Knulli etc.) that the internet usually takes and spreads like gospel just to sh*t on this or that OS or device. Kudos!

Great content! One note about using the handheld with an external controller for 1 player games, after pairing the BT controller (that will automatically be controller 2 in RetroArch) the fastest and most convenient way is to go to "quick menu - controls - port 2 controls - mapped port" and set it to port 1; then "save content directory remap file" under "manage remap file". This way both the BT controller and internal controls act as player 1, and you don't need to do anything to go from handheld to console and back (except connecting the BT controller lol). Let me know if I was able to teach something to the most gaming knowledgeable person in the world ;)

The only thing with the DS lite and any device that has a backlit screen, is that the colours get crushed and don't display right. Games were made without the backlit screen in mind, so colours were artistically made to pop a little more to compensate. Looks easier to see on a non-back lit screen with this developer choice, but doesn't display right on a backlit screen. So what I often do is tone down the brightness or better still use a filter to dull the pallette a little on an emulator. It's not something that can be easily done on a Nintendo DS Lite.

Damn… I ordered the Transparent Black version, I want to also buy the blue… Damn. Ima wait until I get it home before I grab another one, but damn. GBA SP is probably my favorite handheld of all time, probably because I love my Steam Deck (Ima big guy, the Deck is perfect for me). Anywho… Thanks as always Russ

Fingers crossed that I'll be starting a new job in a few months. It's mainly WFH but a couple of times a month I'll be catching a train to the office, a 3 hour trip. This is a must buy if I get the job. Fingers crossed.

Gba SP helped me through my hard time when my friends were owning Xbox and Playstation. It retain my craving for more expensive consoles and kill my times until I can afford one. Harvest Moon Friends of Mineral Town was my grinding during free time

Already have the RP 2S and the Miyoo mini plus but wanted this one too. Never have a clam shell growing up.

@youraveragedillon5958 15 дней назад

Never tried installing new buttons in any console before but I will on this one. I don't want those clicky annoying things. Im probably the only one who still has the GBA sp since release date and it still works

TechDweeb : hey Russ, are you gonna customize your rg35xxsp ? Russ: No man, I don't wanna do it.

@senorsombrero 15 дней назад

Good to see muOS getting some recognition after you crapped over it the last time you mentioned it in the rg35xx days.

@Buffinator1988 15 дней назад

I've got an Rg353m so don't really need this, but I am tempted... Think I'll avoid the impulse purchase for now. Knowing Anbernic they'll perfect this design further in several future iterations, perhaps release a metal version at some point.

you can also usually set the aspect ratio on most monitors/tv's if you want to get rid of wide screen modes on the 4:3 native systems

@gluttonousmaximus9048 15 дней назад

It's something I absolutely won't consider buying cause I have another H700 Anbernic, but I want to touch it. I want to find a brick-and-mortar vendor, or just someone with this unit and just, play it for 10 minutes, maybe 20, and then be done with it.

@Schatten.mensch 15 дней назад

Looks like I'm going to wait and see after all despite how excited this one had me - I love the formfactor, I love clicky dpads, I love clicky buttons ... but 20 seconds of boot time is a lot, even the 15 seconds for OnionOs on the MMPlus are sometimes annoying if you just have a few minutes to kill many times per day. If they'd used an soc capable of proper deep sleep (like a lot of android devices use) on this one it might have been the perfect device for me - open it up, directly into the game, close again a few minutes later. I'm going to hope that one of the custom OS manages to implement support for the hinge magnet and drastically cuts down on the start time (or less likely: improve on the sleep function) and wait a bit longer.

Bravo for the detailed segment re: loud and clicky buttons. Some other RU-vidrs have been all too keen to heap unfettered praise on this product and then, of course, direct viewers to use the affiliate link in the description. This review had integrity.

i was very hyped about this handheld , but after finding out the cpu is using the battery as a heat sink?? nah that thing will go boom after a month in my country some videos already showed it reaching almost 80c on a 20c room temperature... that battery will be COOKING

@@TheSushiftw all the other rg35xx devices have a heatshield on the cpu , and are not against the battery using the battery as a heat sink, look up some tear downs , i dont just say things for no reason......and who says anything without doing proper research ? you should do the same

having the battery serving two functions is such an ingenious solution though.

@Nick-qb2fk 11 дней назад

The RG35XX-H is still the best version of the RG35XX line because of the L-stick and R-stick. Playing Super Mario 64 DS or Animal Crossing: Wild World with the sticks is awesome. Within Drastic, you can program the L stick for movement and the R-stick (and click) for the stylus. And the horizontal layout means that your fingers don't overlap while holding the device. I like this new SP form (although it's a chonker), but the nostalgia alone doesn't overcome its limitations.

@AintNobodyAtAll 12 дней назад

What makes this space simultaneously exciting and frustrating is that many of these devices have this "if only they did one more thing..." factor. I don't see it on this one, which is great, but it does open a yearning inside me for a dual screen version. I hope this does really well so Anbernic or whoever tries to make that jump.

@chronossage 15 дней назад

Ditto. I already have a miyoo mini and plus. While I love this form factor if I was going to migrate to a new device I want a little more than the same up to ps1 and nds at this point. A clamshell that could also play n64 and dreamcast would be the next big upgrade for me since small pocketable devices that can play gamecube and ps2 are still a good ways off. Saturn emulation would be great too I know there have been some good jumps in saturn emulation.

@MrKinein 15 дней назад

From your comparison visually it seems that the screen is less vibrant on the clamshell. Haven't heard that you've noticed or pointed it out. May be it is just different settings for brightness?
