Great video! I is it got the RG Cube (Android) so I could go up to GameCube and PS2. I’m not mobile but my arcade units (3) are upstairs and I wanted something I could use at the end of the day after I was laying in bed … and these are great for that. Doing a few runs on those old school games like SSX tricky, Tony Hawk, Wave Rider or Spiderman is a blast and a great way to unwind.

Welcome to the cult

Hey man. I appreciate your sentiments here. I'm an artist, trained graphic designer and I often work with mixed media. Basically I fk with anything. I even tried my hand at woodworking and came out with some solid projects. RN I have an RG35XX and an RG35XXH. I even bought a used GBA SP off ebay and swapped the screen, buttons and case. I then bought some games and refurbished the labels and cases on some of them (I have a solid brass case for Link to the Past/4 swords). I love my little custom SP. But I love the RG35XXH as well. I can't be bothered with in game purchases or KDR, or Steam, or Discord. Aint no body got time for that.

I love mine! Been intro the retro gaming scene since the mid 2000's, still own my old GP2X which played SNES, Genesis, some mame, much CPS on 2 AA batteries. I got the RG351V woodgrain just over 3 years ago, the Odin bout 3 years ago, RP3+ 6-7 months after and 3 months ago I picked up the 40XXV. I'm 42 and my eyesight isn't doing that well in the past few years, let's say the screen on the 351V and RP3+ is a tad too small compared to when I originally got it. Take it from me, when you reach your 40's, things change, QUICK! But the Atari 2600, NES, SNES, GB, GG that was my jam, then I discovered PC gaming in the mid 90's with the internet and yeah, that's it! lol! Glad you discovered these handhelds! You should join up on the @RetroHandhelds Podcast later tonight at 9pm est, in 2h! We could use some brother's in there! Cheers Canada, eh! And subscribed!

Yes, i have around 35 retro handhelds. I love them. Also have a SteamDeck, ps5 and switch but mainly play my ps5 (via ps portal) or my odin 2 or Retroid Pocket 5.

I got sold on a tiktok ad and pulled the trigger on a rg35xx+ I said $65 let's see if I actually play it. And holey hell it's been 2 months and I've been playing it so much. It goes everywhere with me and I can spool up 20 min of final fantasy 7 while on the subway or an Uber. Like you i quickly realized theres a place for the small pocketability emulators. So I just ordered the retroid pocket mini, so I can play up to ps2 games and have joysticks. I highly recommend anyone considering this. Start with a cheaper $40 system and see if it takes over your day to day

I don't like to play on devices I work with. As an adult It helps me set aside time and space to play

what do you do for work ?

Man, this is a great analysis and summary of exactly how I felt about getting one of the retro handhelds. I got the Miyoo mini but any of them are good and fun. All my buddies love it when I take it out also.

I have multiple handheld emulators or official handhelds and i love them and with the emulators having one or two is perfect and you don’t really need more than that as long as it can run the games u are wanting to play. Also amazing vid looking forward to seeing what else you might post.

What music player is that?

I can see you rocking a steamdeck, especially if you like games like Ner Automata but you do got me interested in the product.

300 subscribers on this is waaaaaaaaaaay 2 loww bruuuuuh you rock! You put out a good word. Please do continue to produce those vibes!

JRPGs are perfect for the handheld format. It's why Pokemon popped off on the Gameboy. there just certain types of games that are better in how 'pick up & play' a handheld is. something that you can play for 30 minutes and then move on. meanwhile for console or PC, i associate that with something more 'premium'. like youll sit down and being putting a LOT of hours into it all in one go. ... which as you said, with work it's gonna be rare to do so. handhelds truly be that daily driver instead.

Can't decide between that one and the horizontal option. Actually the horizontal one is way cheaper for Ms but idk, I have a horizontal 3.5 inch screen and I don't really feel good with it

I have a homebrew 3ds for 3ds/ds games, but Ive been using my anbernic alot to play GBA games recently. I love mine. You hit the nail on the head, easy to play when you have 30 mins. Great video brother man!

That luscious thumbnail made me save to watch later... Finally watching it... Seriously considering buying one.

I need a translation here 10:35 what’s this about lasagna

Agree to everything you said. Personally haven’t been playing for about 12 years since the time after collages is packed with ton of „no spare time" for anything. And somehow i was not missing the gaming itself but at the same time I always felt that gaming is still a part of my life even if it wasn’t. …So what happened? I got a RG35XX H some weeks ago and yes you are right it makes a lot of fun to grab the handheld for some minutes and to enjoy just the game without any distractions.

What dap did u get?

Dedicated devices are the way to go. I can't get into phone gaming because I'm constantly watching that battery. I'd need a separate phone for downloaded media and gaming that I wont care about if the battery starts getting low or straight up dies, you do that and you'll probably want a controller add on too. That add on will cost you as much as one of these Anbernic handheld too, so there ya' go! AND it can play music and videos. Been eyeing that same model Anbernic you got there too, looks good. ✌

Steam Deck revived my love for retro gaming

this is my favorite handheld. it's fucking amazing. made me stop doom scrolling and pick up again other stuff like readin books etc just because i didn't care about my phone anymore

I do have a question tho, how much better does somthing like emerald look on this vs a sp?

Bought the rg 353v last year, fantastic little device. I just ordered the retroid pocket 5 for more power and large screen

“Why not use your phone” Buttons

Welcome to the rabbit hole of awesomeness!

I found the best thing to emulate is the Steam Deck! Like how the trackpads are peeeerfect for emulating Wii's pointer, can plug into a monitor and use the deck itself like a Wii U controller, can display both DS screens side by side, and i mean, do i needa say why it feels good for Switch games? xD

I see Pseudoregalia in the background! 👀

What kind of audio player is that? Dig the look, also would like to have one to use in my car without using up my phones battery. The device this video is about looks sweet but man I can’t justify the price when I got an analogue pocket and steam deck. Looks pretty sweet though.

Any good website for the ROmS bro ?

I recently just beat Terranigma on the miyoo mini plus. Like u I just pick it up and play here and there for my retro gaming fixed.

i play on my rg35xxh more than my gaming PC or steamdeck , its just a nice little device to play games I didn't get a chance to play because life

ive been doing this for over 20 years , now its popular , why on earth would you buy carts , my old nokia phone could do this , as an OG I recommend for beginners an RG35xx h as a cheap well made emulation console , they are on sale all the time for less than 30 and they come with 1500 games ready to go

what is the Audio player you purchased

I own several retro handhelds but I always end up back emulating on my phone. This is because I'm the complete opposite to you, I like not having a device for everything. If my phone can do it all then that's what I'll take with me.

If they made a flagship android phone with an micro sd slot I'd probably sell my handhelds and go back to gaming on my phone

Nice video bro...welcome to the dark side. Your RG40XXV won't be the last 😂

I have had lots of these things I really like clamshells they fold and protect the screen great for RUclips and games on the go, its an anxiety helper too , great stuff out there.

Bought a Retroid pocket 3 plus last year. I'm really satisfied so far. The Steamdeck and RP3 plus are my gp to for on the go pc gaming and emulation. The deck is not limited by the software unlike the powerful android emulations like odin 2. But I love the portability of the RP3 plus. Also love streaming pc and ps4 games on the handheld. Didn't touch FF7 rebirth. It's an insulting nomura fan fiction for real ff7 fans.

Me unboxing 33rd handheld and listening to a guy who finally "gets it" 😅 Welcome to the club. But know there is always something new and "better" coming out soon. Although tbh I think Miyoo Mini Plus is still unmatched.

Thanks for your Input on this, I found it very useful……but I’m here now for that music player u got. Hit me with the details. I got the Sony aw306 which I’ve enjoyed but always regretted it being android mobile os as it feels slow and battery goes quicker than I would like.

I just took a small step buying the miyoo mini on the 11.11 sale. Wow!! Its tiny but the screen is so good and flawless on my ps1 favourite games.. Bought it thinking 8 and 16bit max amazing

Yup..totally right about playing long games on a handheld devices. Its so much more fun and easier to just pick it up, play, stop and go, and come back to it later and continue your game anytime anywhere....

Based. So many signs of good taste here, i.e. Momodora in your Steam library. Nice! But ohhh man, what is that ending theme? I KNOW this song!! It's on the tip of my tongue...
