    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.

      @@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!

    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.

    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.

    With Gamma OS, Gamma showed that the fan actually works to reduce thermal throttling.

    Perfect device for running high-tier N64 games with retroachievements. I'm hoping they make a revision this year with 100% good gamcube support.
