I did the tape mod on the buttons of my RG35XXSP. It really did work well. My buttons are Much quieter. I used Kapton tape instead of electrical. I would look into that. It even made the buttons feel more responsive. I loved my SP. Still do. I felt right at home with this device immediately.
Oh I didn't know about this tape mod. Thanks for the comment 😄 I love this handheld as well. At first nah but it really grew on me
I used thin felt sheet cut into squares. The same felt they use on 3d printed grip fory my miyoo mini plus.
I bought from amazon and anbernic direct. The one from amazon came with little felt pads on the L1 R1 triggers, volume, and power buttons, the one from anbernic direct didn't. The amazon one came with 2 screen protectors.
This is my first Anbernic too! Mostly impressed hardware-wise so far, but the CPU does get pretty hot and using the battery to sink its heat is an… unusual design. Not sure if there was a reasonable change they could've made to the design other than a cooler-running chip though. Otherwise, though, the buttons feel good, if a little loud, and the form factor feels like what I wish the GBA SP actually felt like.
I think the stock software is *glacially* slow, even if performance is generally fine. I switched to muOS the same day I got it, which is much snappier and nicer.
All of your points are valid and I completely agree. I'm probably gonna switch to MuOS too
Got my silver one today, great little machine but software not so.
I’m pretty sure for N64 at least for Retroarch you can hold R2 and press the face buttons you get proper C-Button controls but I’m not sure that’s the case for every CFW.
This is good information since I'm new to anbernic. Thanks for the comment 😄
MuOS makes this thing so snappy and better in my personal motto is just because it can run things like N64 doesn't mean you should. There are other means to do that in a more effective way
100% agree. You shouldn't go into it with things like N64 in mind if you ask me . MuOS is something I'm seriously considering but being this is my first experience with anbernic I'm genuinely impressed
@@RetroGamerReviews it took me a few days to set up and dial everything in to my liking (particular larger box art than most guides will instruct you to do. But once it was set up I appreciate the boot time and increased performance and fixes to some frame pace issues on stock OS. Definitely recommend
@kaedeshirtoto for sure. Thanks for the information and comment 😄
It's awesome that you can hook it to the TV, and overall, it looks like a cool little device 😎. Great review as always 😀.
I genuinely didn't think anbernic would win me over but they got me. It's genuinely a great device and I've been playing mega CD nonstop in handheld and TV mode. Thanks for the comment 😄
@RetroGamerReviews that's great, though it won you over. That means you are truly enjoying it. My only question now would be how well will it work with an Elgato? I have the one that's hooked to my computers motherboard.
Do you mean like the elgato capture card? This isn't something I've tested yet but I plan on it soon
@RetroGamerReviews yup that exactly what I mean :). If you ever do test it, then it would be interesting what games will be able to handle the recordings.
For sure. I'll report back
I'm able to play my favorite PSP game Fight Night round 3 by mapping the dpad as the sticks, and L2+dpad for dpad control. Haven't played N64 yet.
My first impressions weren't so hot but I really grew to love it after afew days. I just got the RG Cube a few days ago and I honestly like the RG35XXSP more
Hope Anbernic makes a follow up to this device (dual analogs and 6 face buttons on a clamshell device).
I'm genuinely hoping for that too. I really do wish they would have had 1 stick for this device. Still a great handheld but the lack of sticks is disappointing
I love mine, I've been using mine daily for ff6 and PS1 games
I bought mine a few days ago, as a group order, expedited. how long did 4px expedited take you to receive? awesome video sir
Thank you for the comment 😄 for me when it actually shipped it was about a week. It took a few days to actually ship
@@RetroGamerReviews thank you!
For the high end systems i configured about 30+ PSP games to run almost flawlessly and most N64 games run full speed and many Dreamcast games run near perfect
I basically researched what PSP and N64 games that the Rg35XX-H runs and copied all the settings since same exact internals 😄
I'm genuinely impressed by the emulation of this for the price we are at. And the HDMI option is nice.
Ok this is really good information being this is my first experience with anbernic. Thanks for the comment 😄
@@RetroGamerReviews you’re welcome I’m pretty experienced when it comes to emulation so I was surprised when I found out the SP is pretty capable.
Dude N64 kirby, and paper mario!
All bangers breh
You could play N64 games like Mischief Makers, Kirby 64, Pokemon Stadium so it ain't that useless
No you're right. I was rather harsh about 64
Cool little device ! I had never seen this model but I might order one eventually
I'm genuinely very pleased with it. I've always been skeptical of anbernic but I really like this device. And the HDMI feature with Bluetooth controller support is great
I really wanted to have this because I never had a sp before but my worry is the buttons on this, is it that too stiff?
I genuinely don't know what people are complaining about with the buttons. The complaint is they are slightly taller then the original sp buttons and clicky but personally after playing with this and then the sp I rather squishy and unresponsive. So take me word with a grain of salt BUT if you ask me this is genuinely a great product to buy. My first impressions when I saw the unit weren't great but after really taking time to play with it I love the feel of it and personally I find the buttons to be fine. I apologize for the long comment but this is my response.
These are already on AliExpress for 55 with free shipping so that's an alternative option compared to anbernic website where you'll spend close to 100
@@RetroGamerReviews The buttons are louder than other Ambernic devices i own. They are really good buttons on this device though.
@@RetroGamerReviews No it's okay, that will greatly help sir, you're response helped to clarify things and would probably buy it now (:
Just put min ui on it and settle it
I did that when I had the Powkiddy v90. I've been thinking about doing that with this especially because there are 2 SD slots
I have MinUI on my RG355xx and it's a great OS. Does it support wifi and retroachievements on the SP?
It's not. 70$ for low end performance, loud buttons, no analog sticks, the thing is getting hot and for a flip device it's too bulky. It's a well done rushed attempt.
I think it depends what you want to use it for.
The first SP style device we learned about was the (still yet to be released) Miyoo Flip.
My first thought when I saw the leaked images was that I was disappointed that it had analog sticks, and I resolved to only buy it if they were easy to remove.
I don't think analog sticks would even be much use on this form factor. The Miyoo ones are right at the bottom, and my hands cramp up just looking at them.
Put them higher up, and now you've compromised the position of the D-pad instead.
I think this device is squarely in the 16 bit era,, and possibly PS1 for short sessions. It's plenty powerful enough for that.
I completely agree with you 100% thanks for the comment 😄
@@thepenultimateninja5797are you dumb? Why would you want to have analog sticks on an sp clamshell device? There's literally retroid pocket flip for that, go get that
Analog sticks on this would be silly being an SP clone. Think how "Bulky" it would be with analogue sticks.
It's much easier to hold than the original SP due to it's slightly bigger in size. Or bulky as you say. Less hand cramping.
Got mine for $87 CAD (63 USD) Worth it.
EDIT: I don't see how this is a "Low end device"😕 🤔
I would consider all the Anbernic XX models to be *Mid Range Devices.* The Specs are pretty decent for emulating approximately 75% of consoles that _can be_ emulated.
Omg it's so much nicer to hold other then the original sp. I've fallen in love with this thing.
