This is the best filming of hand-held devices I've ever seen

You should make more videos.I was looking for a comparison of these two and found your channel but noticed you don’t have many videos. Keep up the good work!

Man, your choice of games to test here are excellent. I especially love R-type Delta and you're one of the only people who actually mentioned the rumble feature on the rg350. That's probably my favourite feature.

The best comparison I have seen. Congratulations and thanks for sharing it.

I find it funny how the odroid go advance is actually powerful enough to run some games that having two sticks would be ideal and doesn't have them; and the RG350 which struggles with 3D games does.

I'm the lead dev of Retro Arena. Hello! Dreamcast and Saturn are coming. The base image from HK has DC now too.

Nice comparison! A little bit too late for me :D Now I´ve got both of them^^
As you mentioned in your video, performance wise OGA is the winner. I´m currently playing RE: Code Veronica (Dreamcast-Flycast) on it (sometimes low fps in video sequences).
Imho the RG350 is easier to set up, you can almost start out of the box. Sidenote: I do not have any issues with the placement of the right control stick. Biggest advantages are the second L- and R-shoulder buttons for Playstation games.
The OGA has to be assembled, which was fun, BUT I was super scared that I would break the screen or whatever part. Still nothing too complicated if you carefully follow the instructions. Setting up the system was slightly more complicated but there are many how-to-tutorials.
I guess OGA is the better choice due to better performance. If you plan to play only Playstation and/or older console games, the RG350 is almost perfect for me.

I have bought both, the RG350 and the odroid go advance. I come to the same conclusion as you, I like the odroid go advance more, not only because of the more powerful hardware, but because of the better frontend! It looks so much better than the icons of RG350!!! It is similar to rapberry pi projects. That makes more fun. If someone could make a good looking frontend for RG350 that would be great, because the build quality is really better ;-)
Imortant tip for all buyers of odroid go advance: be very very very careful when installing the screen!!! I waited 2 months for the package and soon as it arrived, I assembled it. And I was very carefully doing this, but the screen nevertheless broke :-( Such frustrating !

Great review! Loved the pupper at the end!

That is a hell of a good testing ! Great job and thumbs up for the effort . I like the Rg 350 and the odroid go but the main problem is that when and if we can get it ... So i have the Rs 97 and is very bad, thinking of buying an Rg 350 ^^

[gordonrussell]

mortal kombat 2 and double dragon run fine on my 350, like flawless

You can install EmulationStation and RetroArch on the RG350. If you don't like the default OpenDingux UI, those are alternatives you can use.

Wish there was an Odroid Go XL. My eyes aren’t great for the tiny screens on each.

[PaulRoneClarke]

The biggest difference is the RG350 is available to buy.
The Odroid, after four days on sale and very few units sold, is off the market for four months.
End of the day the Odroid might as well be fairy dust.
350H with the much faster processor than the RG might be the winner for me.
Mainly because its a thing I can buy rather than just a thing I can only watch YouTube videos about

[ryecatcher]

Really hope they put the odroid advance processor in a better shell with better buttons.

Please review the go advance image off arcadepunks.

Omg a fellow Aussie interested In these hand held swell iv subbed

[asnbadboi]

Could both of them run Marvel vs Capcom2? Im thinking about getting an RK2020 too. Recently ordered RG350, but it hasn't arrived yet.

[traynor]

Double dragon on FBA emulator runs at 100% on my RG350. None of that slow down like you on yours. Love my 350

[nerb]

im a retro cm3 guy but I love my rg350 and my GPI case

[pancho_rpg]

Loved your review man. Very, very detailed.
- Could you do some Sega Saturn or Dreamcast test?
- Can Odroid emulate every single PSX game?
- How's emulate Ocarina of Time?
Keep that nitpicking testing mate. Waiting for more future Odroid videos.
