I picked up the DMG GameBoy coloured one recently on sale. I never intended to play PS2, GameCube or Android games on it as I have a Steam Deck for higher end emulation. What I DID WANT was a lightweight and comfortable handheld I cold hold with 1 hand with a 4” 4:3 screen and enough power under the hood. Battery life was also high on my list. Having installed Gamma OS I can honestly say it’s the best handheld I’ve used, and I’ve used a lot. No battery drain on sleep (and around 12-15 hours in use), wonderful screen (for an LCD) and great ergonomics (fatter is better with added grips). It’s just such fun device to use without many frustrations I’d previously experienced.
One hand!? The 405V!?
@@RetroBreezeYT yes, it doesn’t over balance and it’s not heavy. I can play some turn based JRPGs with one hand (intermittently).
I got the rg405v as my first anbernic type device & couldn't be happier. Had zero issues in 6 months, and put gammaOS lite on it. Battery life is incredible and uses next to no power on sleep so I just leave it powered on permanently
Sounds great! Definitely a great device if the form factor works for you
Does it have suspended play?
Also if I plan on getting an upgraded micro sd should I just buy the cheap base model?
I was expecting a harsher review of this from you, but I think what you delivered is fair! 💚
Out of all my retro handhelds, the 405V is the one I've used the most, but I also don't take it out of the house like most of the others. That screen sure is beautiful, though!
Nice Review! I love the 405V even though my fan never goes on
u gotta turn it on
@@longchim4738 thanks I’ve done that still nothing, gotta open and tinker
Great review! Shem!
I was contemplating getting this but already got so many other handhelds, I'd like to see a D900 353V, something pocketable, vertical and powerful.
YEEEEEES! I just ordered the RG405v purple transparent one
Love my 405V woodgrain so glad I got it instead of the 405M. Now I want that RGCube 😍
The fan is definitely overkill. I disassembled mine and saw the heatsink inside, and it is quite thick. More substantial than the fan+heatsink on my retroid pocket flip, so that contributes to why the fan rarely spins up.
As for android games, I highly advise installing/playing the ff: These games use the 4:3 screen and has native controller support. In my opinion, these are the only ones worth playing.

Yeah, I'm not blown away by it either. You kinda *have* to order one in though, just to experience the form factor for yourself.
Agreed, I'll be waiting for the RG406M and RG406V.
With Gamma OS, Gamma showed that the fan actually works to reduce thermal throttling.
how do you get Gama os?
I’d prefer comfort over power Thats why I’m willing to swap my Retroid Pocket 4 Pro for the RG405v any Takers im in Australia
Perfect device for running high-tier N64 games with retroachievements. I'm hoping they make a revision this year with 100% good gamcube support.
They need a rg405v + spam them
I'm going to wait for Anbernic's RG406M and RG406V.
I'm personally looking forward to the 406P!
@@RetroBreezeYT Amen 🙏
Seems perfect for my hands, I got the rg35xx plus and I almost inhaled it the other day
Anyone else having issues pressing playing a game with key mapping on?? Like not being able to press multiple buttons at once??
I just think there are better buys in horizontal form. I really wouldnt want thumbsticks on that shape
Switch emulation review
I haven't bought anything since my rg353m, and I think I won't be buying anything else. But I was looking for a console that I can gift to someone and was thinking about this, but now I will look somewhere else.
Carnie hands
Vertical is superior. Hate horizontal. Just buy a switch we want gameboy form factor bruh
Mate, pixelate those thumbs of yours- there are kids watching!
Big device, small buttons, such a bad look.
