I've learned to lower my expectations with the Anbernic RG35XX when it comes to playing PICO-8 and TIC-80 games. Lots of them are fine, but some either run super-slow, or get errors when they run.
The ones that do work definitely work well, so I just need to focus on those.
(To be fair I didn't even know about PICO-8 or TIC-80 when I got it, so those are all just bonus games.)
The #Miyoo Mini Plus is on sale on AliExpress alongside a bunch of other retro handhelds from #Anbernic and the like. So it might be a good time to grab one :P
I never had time or headspace to tinker with my #anbernic but it came with some preloaded games. I played a few, just to get the feel of it. I didn't own many consoles when I was young, so many old games are new to me. I found Fire Emblem 4 there and started playing it. It works fine, better than my Awakening clunky Samsung S22 edition lol. Ah, and rumors say #fireemblem4 will be remastered. I'll definitely get that. I'm sure they will do something with Awakening too.
Weird issue with GarlicOS on the RG35XX today. Games launch, then quit, and the screen blinks/flashes repeatedly. (Doesn’t happen when I switch back to stock OS.)
As I’ve been playing all these old games on the RG35XX I’m learning what kind of games I like. Games where I have to fight? No thanks. Games where I have to run around and find things and avoid obstacles? Much better. (Sort of like real life I guess!) I look forward to learning more about myself on this journey.
One of my tweaks for the Anbernic running GarlicOS. Since I am not an old time gamer I don't know what the heck controller goes with what the heck old console system!
So I added text labels. I didn't really plan it out so it could have been much better, but it works for now.
It was just a matter of editing the images on the SD card.
Who else is rocking an #Anbernic#RG35XX handheld console? I've got GarlicOS on mine and I love having access to so many different platforms on tap. And then I thought I can stream it more...
Been sitting here since the 7th obsessively refreshing the tracking for my #Anbernic#RG35XX. It landed in Illinois on the 7th. Then nothing since then, just says “delivered to our shipping partner, USPS awaiting receipt of item”
Then out of nowhere… bam, late today it arrived at a USPS facility in Minneapolis!
Been putting off buying the SD cards and HDMI cable until it moved out of Illinois, but I didn’t think it would jump to Minnesota without passing through Chicago first.
I tested a whole lot of PICO-8 games on the Anbernic RG35XX and these are the results (so far! I still have a lot to add to the list but I'm going to go play now.)
"GarlicPress is a companion application for the RG35xx running GarlicOS. The main aim of the application is to never require you to remove the SD cards from your device. GarlicPress uses ADB to communicate over USB."
thinkin' about picking up one of those little #emulator handhelds for my birthday. anyone have strong opinions on the #miyoo mini vs. one of the #anbernic consoles? looking to spend around $100.
I missed out on #LiveALive back in the #SNES days since it didn't make it to the USA. I started playing it on my #anbernic the other day and I was surprised to find it very #chronotrigger like!
I just learned they made a #remastered version last year! It seems pretty different, but since I didn't play it much on #superNintendo it doesn't matter to me. I like the voice acting, the additional animations, and lighting effects!
Ordered the #Retroid Pocket 4 Pro. Then got impatient realizing it would take like a month to get here. So I may have accidentally also ordered the #Anbernic RG35XX+. :game_boy:
Irresponsible? Yes. But I do think they have distinct purposes. The gameboy-ish size of the rg35xx is super pocket friendly. Should be great for playing #Pokemon at the gym between sets.
But it seems the RP4p can handle #GameCube and #PS2 emulation with almost no issues.
