Anbernic RG35XX Worth It in 2024?

What you guys think? Is the RG35XX still something to consider buying, or is it all about the Plus and H models now? Have you bought the RG35XX recently and how have you enjoyed it? I'm super curious. Let me know!

The irony of a retro product being outdated 😂 gen z always want the latest and popular. Please no thum stick. Other products got that covered.

so im confused, do the games come built in or do you have to buy them still?

Can retroarch cores be downloaded or do you do it through adding to the sd card

what should i get ? Anbernic RG35XXSP Retro or Anbernic RG35XX Plus or Anbernic RG35XX H ? My aim is to play pokemon games here

I've waited a year for this device to be available in my country, and now that it's finally available I want to know one VERY important thing. Does it have Tekken 5 pre-installed on it? Please, I need an answer

Would this support SEGA CD games?

If somehow the piddling monetary difference between the RG35XX and the Plus model is enough for you, then sure, go with the original.

But in every other case. EVERY. OTHER. CASE. The RG35XX Plus is superior. The dpad is fixed, the shoulder buttons are designed better (to fit with custom mods people had made for the original), it has wifi and bluetooth capabilities and it is more powerful, capable of better emulating games (though keep in mind that external standalone emulators are almost always faster than RetroArch, even though in many cases it's just fine in RetroArch so it doesn't really matter unless you just HAVE to have that 1fps difference).

Plain and simple, the RG35XX is only even worth considering because 1) it's slightly cheaper and 2) it has had the benefit of long-term custom firmware development.

But we're at a good point with the Plus now with custom firmware so 2 isn't really a factor anymore. I mean with MuOS you can run pretty much every single port from Portmaster for the Plus. Games like GTA 3 or Vice City, AM2R, etc. There are a approximately 10+ that don't work, and they're some cool ones, but it's a matter of time before they're available and you've got a shitload of gaming options until then.

You cannot run Dreamcast, N64 and PSP games on the original RG35XX, only on the Plus, and while the options are limited since it's not perfect and you may have to sacrifice quality to get certain ones to play at a decent framerate, it's still really cool to have as a bonus option on top of everything else.

If you're on a strict budget, I absolutely understand thinking the RG35XX is a good option, because it really is, but if you're just thinking about it because you think you can maybe live with it, don't sacrifice quality and features by going for the outdated model if there's even the slightest possibility that you'll be looking at the greener grass on the other side. Let me tell you that things like RetroAchievements and SFTP functions for wifi transfers instead of popping out your microSD card every five minutes when you're trying to get something working right are things that really go a long way towards making you love your new system.

It was valuable to me because it was half off so I got it for $32 😂

Came for a review and YOU SIR GOT A NEW SUB.

This device is kind of amazing and i kinda want it (or a Plus)

but then I think… theres the Raspberry Pi, the NanoPC, a bunch of others, and heck i can just use my Cell Phone to emulate games (bluetooth controller) i guess i dont know if i'd actually use it.

For stores that ship to Toronto this one os 47 dollars the new one is 105

Can you make MuOs instructions

Id say yes, i also have the 35xxh and even a 405m but i still use the 35xx more than the others simply because of garlicOS. Between the short boot times and auto save/resume no matter what you do its just so user friendly to pick up for a quick game.

Like you press the power button and within 10 seconds its booted and automatically continues where you left off.

35xxh default OS or CFW just dont have these creature comforts.

Original runs garlic. New doesn’t

Which version can you play videos, podcasts or mp4(low quality is fine)? Yes i know phones can do it all better but i prefer the tactile and smaller feel of this .

Ok this catch me with golden sun ❤

Just bought the plus and it worked for all of 15 minutes, I put it down to do some chores and when I came back to it it no longer worked. Stuck on an “anbernic” screen

Just bought one shipped for 35$
