RG35XX H Linux Retro Handheld Game Console 35xx H with a 64G Card Pre-Loaded 5570 Games,RG35XXH 3.5'' IPS Screen Supports 5G WiFi Bluetooth HDMI and TV Output

Bought it for my son. He likes retro games. Perfect pocket size. He plays it in between college classes.

Rarely used and nothing but issues every time, takes and act of God to get it to turn on after a month or so of light use. Toggling the power+reset and removing/inserting the SD card is like entering a cheat code just to use it. One year later and I've thrown this out because it just never works and I always end up using another hand held. Have Gameboys that are from the 90's and still work reliably to this day.

This game device is okay. It is fairly comparable with a couple of others I have tried. It is small and works well so far. I think the price may be a little high as I was seeing them a lot cheaper last year that were just as good, and I still do. I might would look around and compare next time I was in the market for one. It would make a nice stocking stuffer.

I have had the chance to try several of the rg35xxh handhelds and this one comes with I believe the newest version of the operating system. The other units I tried had a December 2023 firmware on them and this has a January 2024 firmware on it. This update corrected some minor issues that I immediately noticed. There is now a better menu when you exit a game that gives you your save options and several other options pertaining to the game you are playing. The prior version of firmware just exited the game back to the game selection menu in the console you had selected. The new version is much more user friendly. Also some games that did not work properly now do work properly one of which is Gran Turismo on the ps1. On the old firmware you would just get a black screen after you selected the track you wanted and that was it. Now the game works 100%. This is a nice handheld and that firmware update shows me anbernic is going to keep improving the system if needs arise. This has a nice bright vibrant screen with good viewing angles. The d-pad works well. A B X Y buttons all work fine. The shoulder buttons work properly with no rattling. It has good stereo sound thanks to having two speakers which are located on the bottom lip which is nice because alot of handhelds like to put them on the back which makes the sound muffled especially if your fingers lay over the speakers. This comes with a great selection of games with alot of well known titles but no "mario" games which I know some people always ask about. Lots of Zelda, Castlevania, Final Fantasy and Pokémon games though. All of the different consoles represented on here work well. There are even a couple extra consoles listed under the retroarch folder that aren't listed under the game room folder. Under the retroarch folder you will find it has open bor, ports, Pico 8, Atomiswave (play "Dolphin Blue" you will love it) and Naomi systems on it. The build quality of this is nice. Good solid plastic that has just a little texture for a solid grip. Anyone with a rg35xx will really appreciate the new horizontal version not to mention the performance upgrades. All in all an excellent value for a no fuss turn on and play game system.

First time charging the device. It will not charge. When you plug it in it'll charge for a minute and then stop. This thing is a complete brick now

As soon as I turned it on and started trying to set the time I noticed the left and up buttons were broken, seemed like it would be a nice system but sadly I never got a chance to try any of the games out

Pros: Many games, color, ability to add/remove more games and use the hardware in other ways. Small enough to throw in your pocket and have to kill time while waiting. Cons: The overall size of the unit is too compact for my hands to get comfortable and use the top triggers. The screen is small and the font used is very small making it hard to read for my old eyes. There was some hitching on a few of the games I played, and the upright arcade games seemed to have issues with the controls. For the price, I think this might not be the best value. If the unit was about 30% larger overall and had slightly better specs, it would be outstanding. But as it is, I would be much more comfortable with this at 49.00 vs 89.00.
