After sending my Anbernic RG351P to the grave (don't ask me why 🥲), I bought the Anbernic RG35XX-H as a portable retro gaming console.
@zafer ' s new toy, the RG35XX Pro model (last photo), has the same chipset. Its price was quite reasonable compared to the RG351p at the time (Anbernic is currently $53 + taxes, whereas when I bought the RG351p, it was around $110 excl. taxes).
I got it solely to play games from the GBA generation that I completely missed out on as a kid. I wanted a small device; otherwise, I wouldn't have bought it, and I would have continued with the solutions I already had.
Another notable alternative was the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro (2nd photo on the previous post), but it exceeded the absurd 150 euro Turkish imports limit (we cannot order anything over €150 without imports advisor automatically), so I'm not even allowed to buy it...
@gbraad foobar2000 was such a great piece of software with such a terrible name. I guess it proves that, if you build something great, the name might not matter much
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

This kinda makes me want to find a rom site so I can replay the Disney sega Genesis games I grew up with, except rom sites are scary (hey I still have the cartridges so it's legal, I just don't have a working system) @gaming
While the #anbernic RG556 is a great #emulation / #gaming platform, it has a big flaw when it comes to TypeC support; it will NOT do HDMI and charging at the same time. It is using an external display OR charging... not both! Hopefully a software update, but I doubt... This means that the Baseus Steam Deck docks I have are all not working with this device (but works with Samsung devices and a Deck of course).
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.
