About this deal

I then tried Nintendo DS, the emulator used has a nice feature where I can simply press the shoulder button to skip between screens, allowing me to get fully immersed into the main gameplay. This isn’t the most fluid way to play DS games, but it’s an easy get around for a console that has just one screen. Emulation performance was solid. For both models of the retro handheld emulator, the Linux operating system is stored on the included 16GB micro SD card. There is a 64GB micro SD card also included which is used for game storage. There is also the built-in screen controller mapping which we have seen in Anbernic’s recent Android handhelds. It works very well and definitely gives you the upper hand on games such as first person shooters! Benchmark Results and Comparison

ANBERNIC has kept in their lane with this device and tweaked it efficiently over the last two years to a point where it’s close to perfect. PSP pushes the limit of what this kind of device can emulate, but these settings give you the best available experience. And last but not least we have a screen protector and some wipes for when applying it to your handheld. Overview of the RG353M You can update to the latest version of the installed Retroarch cores by going to Retroarch from the main menu, then selecting Online Updater -> Update Installed Cores. The Linux OS runs a combination of Emulation Station and RetroArch to provide a wealth of gaming options on many classic game’s consoles from the 1970’s to more modern day on the RG353M. The Android OS requires some setting up but ultimately provides a wider range of computers and consoles to relive the classics on. You can also go the third route by installing a custom firmware on a SD card to use on the handheld gaming console which provides over 90 classic systems to choose from!

Please Note

The responsive and high-quality D-pad and buttons provide precise controls, giving you the competitive edge you need to dominate your games. The device also features a powerful 3500mAh battery that provides up to 8 hours of continuous gameplay, allowing you to enjoy your games without worrying about running out of power.

The start and select are in the same position. I know many of you like these on the face of the device but I do not, and the outdated white text doesn’t help the minimal metal aesthetic in my opinion. RG351MP (LEFT) VS RG353M (RIGHT) You can show the menu used to alter these settings by pressing L2. GameBoy Set the screen colour to a light green, matching the original GameBoy display Retroarch menu is used to configure its cores. Core A Core is an emulator that has been adapted to work with Retroarch. Emulator Using an emulator, your device pretends that it’s a different device. For instance, using the This requires an internet connection and is, therefore, only possible with the RG351M or with an RG351P with a compatible WiFi adapter. We have configured shaders to improve the display of these retro games on your RG351’s high-resolution screen. Set the aspect ratio to Core ProvidedOn top of the device you will find newly designed shoulder buttons, and this is because the device is considerably thinner than the previous model, so notable in fact that it feels like a whole new handheld and the reduction in size means reduction in weight, coming in at just 232g which is fairly light for a metal device. Yes, it’s slightly more compact and those with very large hands might feel a bit cramped while playing, but I had no problems at all. This small size reduction makes it far more portable, and the removal of the bezels make it that little bit more immersive. We can see from the three benchmarks; Antutu, Geekbench and 3DMark, that the RG505 sits in between the older RG552 and the over double the price of GPD XP+ Android handhelds. The RG353V and RG353VS is a great option for those requiring a high performance and reliable retro gaming console. It supports many consoles from the 70’s up to 2000’s for you to be easily able to relive or discover the thousands of classic games for them!

The RG353M can run Android and or Linux, the Android OS is a little cumbersome to use with the tiny 3.5” touch screen, especially when typing, so I found myself using the linux OS because it’s just so easy to use and comes pre-setup straight out of the box.

Select RETROARCH from the main menu and then either retroarch or retroarch32. These are 64-bit and 32-bit versions of the software, respectively. The available game systems are configured to use the 32-bit or 64-bit depending on which happens to work best for that system. After several minutes of sitting idle, your handheld will start playing videos of random installed games. This is the screen-saver. To play the game currently displayed, press START. To exit the screen-saver, press one of the face buttons. Trying different cores/emulators The 3.5” screen is a full IPS panel running at 640×480 resolution, an upgrade from the 320×240 found in its predecessor. The higher resolution means that retro games on older systems can be upscaled for improved visuals. And for the systems that run at higher resolutions, the visuals will not be squashed and make text easier to read for example. The display is protected by a Zero Distance OCA toughened glass cover. With the vast options of consoles to emulate the battery life for me did vary, but from my tests and mixing with brightness and volume settings I was pulling a solid 5 hours out of this device at high brightness which is reasonable for a device of this power.

This new size, new weight and added exterior tech pumps make this feel like a far more polished handheld, and I didn’t think my favourite handheld could get even better, but ANBERNIC have really nailed it here. To try a different emulator for a specific game, press SELECT on the game list screen, then choose Edit this game’s metadata -> Emulator. Nintendo DS The RG353V and RG353VS retro handheld emulators from Anbernic offer a choice of Android and Linux OS’s or Linux OS only. This is what we all wanted for many months. Great quality products that haven’t skipped corners. Instead they have made something good, great and I for one am very happy, as this is my new favourite handheld and a strong contender for the best retro handhelds of the year even when it has strong competition around.The display is a 3.5 inch IPS screen with a resolution of 640×480. It is bright, vibrant and upscales older consoles to the correct 4:3 ratio with amazing results.
