I Played The RG35XX SP For A Week And This Happened

The Anbernic 35XX SP is the latest in the Anbernic XX line the retro gaming handheld we've all been waiting for. But is this clamshell retro handheld, based on the GBA SP the best retro handheld to date or is it a Gameboy Advance SP fail?

Close to sleep can be enabled in the options. Not sure why it wasn't on by default

That SD card comes with them direct from Anbernic and also Ali Express. Its just what they ship with now.

I got my RG SP direct from Anbernic at launch and it had that same Kioxia 64 GB card (but yes, a RG35xx original I got a year ago had those generic black 64 gb cards of low quality).

There is a setting to shutdown and quick save on lid shut

Clamshell consoles for the win. It good to see retroarch doing better with the emulation

I really don't get the button hate.

I’ve had two other emulations devices now and this is the only one that makes me want to pick it up and actually play it; I can’t describe exactly why but it just feel right/fun. My other emulators are just gathering dust and I feel bad for even getting them lol.

Love the clamshell form factor 😍 So nostalgic for me. Thank you for sharing!

This thing is addicting. It’s all I’ve been playing for 2 weeks .

I got mine about a week ago and loving it, i usually make hand grips for all my emulation handheld devices but I’ve ordered some and are in the mail getting dropped off today so cant wait for that comfortablilty im always looking for 🙏🏽

PSP runs good on mine it's just not every game, it's nice that you can change the screen ratio in some games without stretching too

i had a retroid pocket 2 which was about the same price range but this seems to run things better, also 2d psp games should work perfect on this hardware its only most 3d titles that wouldn't run great but its a 4:3 screen anyways and there is mid range cost handhelds that run psp perfect like the rp3+ so it really isnt a problem, btw you might be able to upscale ps1 games to be a full 480P through retroarch (native ps1 runs at 240p but the problem with upscaling is it might make it stutter but idk if it is more powerful than the rp2 so who knows it might work because dreamcast didnt run on the rp2 but it did for the rg sp)

The only channel that tells the true, every other channel complaining on the buttons just buy a good damn SP, boy.

[LtCore]

Sorry for the newbie question but where do you find the games to install? Thanks!

Anbernic themselves include Kioxia cards with the SP, it's not just that store you got it from.

[Godzuki-qf]

There is also a sleep mode option in the settings for when you close the screen

I'm trying to remap the buttons on my 8BitDo M30 controller via Bluetooth to play fighting games like SFIII (thankfully it has HDMI out), but because the controller doesn't have analogue sticks I get stuck part way through the process. Have you been able to do this? Also will yours play Sega super-scaler arcade ROMS such as Powerdrift or Thunder blade?

[Eetio]

I bought mine directly from Aliexpress and it still came with the same SD card you received

Love these videos, I've nearly beaten the elite 4 on Pokémon Fire Red using my SP but I can't play in bed. My wife can't stand the clicky D-pad at night. I'll just have to buy another handheld... :)
