Anbernic RG35XX Final Review w/ GarlicOS & Batocera

I've had the Anbernic RG35XX for a while now and I wanted to come back and give my final review of the device. Is it still worth buying? How do GarlicOS and Batocera work on it? Let's talk about it.

That's some sick moves on Tony Hawk's right there!

Nice review, thanks for sharing your honest view after giving it some REAL use. I'm expecting mine to arrive tomorrow, and I'm already preparing everything to flash GarlicOS.

I bought one of these last week, I’m so impressed with it. Been playing all my old master system games and more.

Happy to know that the built quality is better than RK.

[johnoc]

been looking through all the videos on this device.... you have a really good video !!! and totally sold me on getting one because of Tony hawk games....

[Bendilin]

My favourite thing about these reviews is getting reminders of specific games I want to play, like Conker's Pocket Tales.

[basselmunajed]

Just bought one, and will be delivered in few minutes 🤯🤯🤯🤯 cant wait

[roguephoenix]

it better be. i just got mine a week ago and i love it.

[PastelKenshi]

That rocket knight adventures was super nostalgic 😅

[kildermc]

Thank you. best review. I´m buying the new plus version.

Got the miyoo mini+ and my 35 has been in a drawer since. Was playing 35 everyday before I got the mini plus. Initially, I didn't like the miyoo screen quality and the 35 was much better in comparison but when started tinkering with the display settings, I found a combination between hue, saturation, etc and now the quality is much better than the 35. If for whatever reason you're curious, the combination that I landed on was 0, 15, 20, and 15.

I think theyre great you forgot to mention it can also play dos games! theres doom, wolf3d ports available for garlic os! Although I ahve tried playing through wolf3d now the game crashes when I load it I think my savegame is corrupt I am not sure yet. Anyhow these are great cheap enough you can buy and gift them!

[johnplus]

I got the RG35xx last week and installed Garlic OS which makes it much better.

However, I wish that it was taller. With my big hands, it feels somewhat awkward to hold. I have concluded that handhelds, especially vertical ones, are hard to control accurately. I think that a horizontal portable game system would work much better.

Cool video. Didnt expect batocera to bring much. What game are you playing at 7:25?

[Melody_Of_Metafalica]

I just brought this console last night🙄 it has contain dual OS OFW and Garlic, does this console its good? Can using cheat codes on emulator?

[Aaron.Cormano]

What configuration are you using for ps1 emulation? Looks like you are able to play Bust a Groove. I tried to play that game but was totally off sync, so i keep failing to keep the rythm

[jardacz]

can i have a micro sd card with batocera system and insert it into the console and play normally on that system and then remove the card and insert garlic os card? and play again from this system? or does the Rg35xx device also have its own memory and it is not possible to choose from the cards in this way and it is necessary to somehow boot or install them in the BIOS?

[cheezeballcity]

Great Video! I was wondering, what version of SF3 3rd strike are you playing? What Rom folder did you put it in? I thought the RG35xx didn't support dreamcast games so I'm curious. Thanks!

Stock firmware plays SEGA CD. Just put the files in the MegaDrive/Genesis fokder. The problem with all cfw is that the menu button never works as good as on stock. I hate it whe I can't easily leave a game. Maybe Koriki will be good some day. Garlic seems dead like the stock firmware...

[Gamehighlight]

I got the same one last week - THE BEST

[midinerd]

Got one. pretty ****ing sweet! cramp in my left ring-finger from playing lots of games forreal.
