Greetings Jacek 😉 First of all I want to apologize - I haven't commented/followed you for a long time unfortunately due to health reasons... So I have a lot to catch up on 😀 But I want to ask you Jacek - would it be possible for you to set up 3 manual consoles (OS, settings) for smooth operation/gaming? Unfortunately, I'm a really non-technical guy...🤦 Of course, I would pay all the costs and your work. Keep up the amazing work Jacek 💪
Hi 👋 hopefully you are OK now . I wish to help you to set up everything, but as I remember, you are not living in the UK, and sending devices to me is quite dangerous. I don't want the situation when any of them will be damaged during the transport, but as we know it could happen
For the r36s, the best one in my opinion is Arkos, I have tested others and none of them has the same performance as Ark, with a few adjustments I can even play dreamcast and n64 smoothly, the console has its limits, but for this price the only better one is Trimui
on its release we worked on releasing other firmwares readily available on other devices and the performance was the same, the creater of arkos helped us himself lol , bu use what ever suits you best in the end
@@Millzieeeee Ambernik is also good, I like its professional look and the ability to customize many things from the options menu of the system itself, I don't know, maybe it's a matter of certain cores for the systems, but when it comes to performance right after installing the system, Arkos beats the rest, that's just my opinion and feelings.
What adjustments have you made to do this and how? How would I alter the performance of retroarch on ArkOs? Dreamcast seems to lag a lot and N64 occasionally while PS1 is unplayable!
What I am missing from the video is the PORTs. Almost no one mentions them. I play GTA 3 and VC on my R36S and they run perfectly fine. If you want to play PORTs than I would buy the Rg35xx H. Using the R and L buttons for a long time is unconfortable on the R36S. Yeah, the R36S buttons feel cheap, but they work so for the price its fine. One of the joysticks on mine died, but the replacment (it was 2$ for 2) was very easy and the new one feels better. In a lot of video they say get new SDcards, its not a joke, do it and go for 2 SDcard settup. My PC killed my ArkOS install 2 times, because the Antivirus started searching on it everytime. I pluged it in and it got disconnected sometimes and eventulay it got corrupted. So use two cards if you don't want to lose saves. If someone is interested about what PORTs it can play, these are the ones I play or tried to play: PLAYED -Alien vs Predator -Diablo + Hellfire -Fallout 1 and 2 -GTA 3 and Vice City -Half-Life -Heroes 2 and 3 -Quake 1/2/3 -Serious Sam The First Encounter -Stardew Valley -ZGloom TRIED TO -Endless Dungeon --> I tried to play it, but I don't have the game files. It should run. -Star Wars Jedi Knight 1 and 2 --> It runs, but very laggy, wors than GTA on PSP. If you have a question about PORTs feel free to ask.
@@TheRootko Sorry, my comment is a bit missleading. I personally do not own an RG35XX H, my opinion is based on the performance of the two devices being very similar. And when I was searching portmaster stuff on YT, I saw a few video where they show gameplay of the RG35XX running games. For example Dungeon Souls or Shovel Knight. So yes, Ports work on it. And I assume GTA: VC works too like on R36S. With similar performance. GTA VC runs fine for me (On R36S), while driving it drops to about 25 FPS (I just assuming the number, because the FPS overlay doesn't work with it), but still better than on PSP.I think it drops frames because it loads in new stuff and you are too fast in a vehicle. Lastly, I just assuming that by FW you mean the OS, I use ArkOS version 02232024. I don't think this is the newest.
@@neolech I tried Fallout 1, did not play it a lot yet. I started too many games at once after getting into Ports. And just started playing Dragon Ball Z: Shin Budokai on PSP and did not play anything else for a while. So Fallout 1 and 2, I think will work perfectly. GTA VC runs fine for me (On R36S), while driving it drops to about 25 FPS (I just assuming the number, because the FPS overlay doesn't work with it), but still better than on PSP. I think it drops frames because it loads in new stuff and you are too fast in a vehicle.
@@meeeaCH9612 I'm also using R36S and even though I like horizontal handhelds more, I'll stick with it for now. RG35XXH also doesn't do 100% PSP, so it really doesn't make sense for me to buy it and replace my R36S.
thanks jacek - if i hadnt already bought the r36x - i would probably go for the rg35xx h if the prices were similar - i think the form factor is better
Thank you for your thorough test. You helped me a lot in my decision. I now purchased a R36S 😊 In the future I will probably buy a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro as an addition.
I have both and let me tell you the screen on the r36s beats all the other consoles it’s cheaper and yet it does MORE i just wish the buttons were better
Hi , apart free to play ports I never checked any other way like gta or half life, that's good idea but as I've got a few plans for Nearly future need to find the time to learn about that
Rg35xx is clearly better but the R36s is so much cheaper, so i guess it's a trade off. There's also the Trimui Smart Pro that looks like a better option than any Anbernic at the same price point
The fact that the vast majority of the retro games user demographic are grown up nerds, it makes the vertical form factor very ergonomically uncomfortable for our large hands. I keep finding my fingers crammed around the shoulder buttons.
Very similar but new stock firmware on rg35xx h are improved the performance of psp as I showed on today's video, I am very surprised czcams.com/video/r52Tz0DcJTc/video.html
This may not be an appropriate comparison of PSP performance. Koriki reportedly has much worse performance in PSP than older Batocera builds. And even up through Batocera v40 (and perhaps Batocera Knulli) is reportedly slower in PSP than the latest stock firmware. N64 might be the opposite with some Batocera builds such as Batocera Lite offering standalone Rice and Glide64. So for now, the RG35XX-H apparently requires the updated stock firmware to get superior PSP performance with the H700 processor. But YMMV with N64 and perhaps Dreamcast. I need to do more testing myself but I'm sticking with the stock firmware for now. I think we'll have better choices in a few months.
Hello Jacek. Great video once again. Co polecisz kupic właśnie w kwocie do 50$? na ali RG35xx plus za 259zł. Są lepsze alternetywy? Takie, które łykną nawet emulowanie PSP?
I'm disappointed with the RG35XX H because the HDMI output doesn't work. Also, I can't seem to get any of my wireless controllers to connect to it. I installed Batocera V39. I was unable to get V40 to work, it kept freezing and resetting
i have both of those device and rg35xx h runs vice city numerous times better. (only thing you need to enable is auto frameskip) it looks better and has less frameskip. Generally vice city stories works better at my rg35xx h than on both of your devices shown here. Maybe the difference is the software version? r36s is working exactly like in the video - struggling.
Great video what's the biggest size sd card you can use on the r36s. Still struggling with sega saturn. Even after all the help from Jacek (legend) I only want to play golden axe the duel 😂
Not happy with your conclusion. I want to know if you had a gun to your head which one is the new budget king?? Unless you don't think the Rg35xx falls into a budget category like the R36s does then let us know which one is the new King. PS Love all your videos
R36s as I've said money for the possibilities of course r36s for many people but the last prices on aliexpress for rg35xx h made this device definitely budget with awesome built quality
35xxh is lagging so much when i play gradius on pcengine or nes. When enemy sprites are over 10 and they spawn bullets fps are so low which make the experience awful..this happens either with stock firmware or with batocera 40
got the r36s and the scren is better imo its bright. only thing i miss is av out and 2 player games

TRIED TO
-Endless Dungeon --> I tried to play it, but I don't have the game files. It should run.
-Star Wars Jedi Knight 1 and 2 --> It runs, but very laggy, wors than GTA on PSP.
If you have a question about PORTs feel free to ask.
So the ports also work on rg35xx h? Even the likes of GTA: VC? Which FW are you using?
Will fallout 1,2 or gta vc work on rg35xx h?

Wow r36s is a budget beast. I thought upgrading to rg35xxh would yield much better performance
thanks jacek - if i hadnt already bought the r36x - i would probably go for the rg35xx h if the prices were similar - i think the form factor is better
It is more comfortable definitely I will definitely do a games list for rg556 on friday
Thank you for your thorough test. You helped me a lot in my decision. I now purchased a R36S 😊
In the future I will probably buy a Retroid Pocket 4 Pro as an addition.
snes uses bumpers so I assume at least 2 of the 4 triggers would be used for that

I agree with you , that screen is really good
What about Conker's Bad Fur Day?

The fact that the vast majority of the retro games user demographic are grown up nerds, it makes the vertical form factor very ergonomically uncomfortable for our large hands. I keep finding my fingers crammed around the shoulder buttons.
Are they equal in performance and on emulated platforms or is one more powerful than the other? Great video!
Very similar but new stock firmware on rg35xx h are improved the performance of psp as I showed on today's video, I am very surprised czcams.com/video/r52Tz0DcJTc/video.html
Please do a review RGB20SX running ARKOS, thanks.
I think I will post first test on a saturday
what is the last game >?
Which one has a better screen?

Hi, thanks for the comment I will try the newest stock firmware then to compare with r36s again 👌
i definitely need joyticks,R and L triggers😆. thats why i didnt buy rg35xxV and miyoo plus cause it doeant have joysticks
Same like me, I don't like just to use dpad

Can we add controllers in r36s btw?
O tested controller Switch and Ipega, both didn't work. But Xbox work.

Xbox S controller directly to OTG port works, but you might have to configure emulator specific settings since it might be detected as player 2.

Why the N64 games look upscaled on the r36s
Wont that effect preformece ?
Nothing upscaled default set up
Anbernic is BMW. Data frog is opel.
Ok, but R36S is not made by DataFrog.
all non-asian cars suck
The rg35xx have wifi and Bluetooth
which has better screen? r36s or rg35xxH?
The R36S has the better screen. I have both devices at home and noticed that instantly when I turned on the rg35xx h.
Rocknix is simply messed-up version of jelos and not even workable normally
bro in my r36s don have setting to change the theme whyyyyyyyy 💀💀💀
Your sd is corrupted, u need to buy the new branded ones. I had same issue with stock chinese shitty card included with console
does R36S Is It Good? does it can run GTA Vice City PsP smooth? and harvest moon PsP and N64?
R36s is the cheapest solution for retro gaming but is not running gta smooth ,you need stranger chipset
The r35xx run GTA
35xxh is lagging so much when i play gradius on pcengine or nes. When enemy sprites are over 10 and they spawn bullets fps are so low which make the experience awful..this happens either with stock firmware or with batocera 40
