I just got mine in the mail today. The first thing I said to myself was "this is bigger than I suspected" And when I found your video, you saying the same thing was validating. Lol. Thank you so much. I was not sure how to set everything up. Your directions were simple and clear. It was very helpful!!!
thank you so much. youre video literally solved my issues. this other video i saw the guy said to delete everything off the device. then he began looking up the exact same emulators and downloading them in from the ground up and some things werent lining up. im happy now. :)
@Kevintheconservative it depends where you buy the handheld. Some will come with an sd card preloaded, and others will be just the handheld unfortunately
I recieve mine today transparent purple, im so happy to play my childhood games back in 90's i feel like im young again 🥺💜 Thank you anbernic ❤ btw im still learning on how i can install a games on my device.
Just ordered mine because of your video, I already have a 353v but I don't mind taking this larger device with me to work on the weekends to burn through a couple old games.
At 5:45 you said set up the SD card. Are you talking about a new SD card or the one that comes from it. I saw a video where the guy said to throw away the low quality SD card that came with it and download the firmware from Anbernic and download Roms and put them in their selected folders. I am bit confused on that matter. Do the emulators come onto the RG405V and RG406V already? Thank you for your time.
@in-tuition-fj9840 Yes, I'm talking about the one provided. But I suppose if you were to download your own firmware, etc, to a new sd card, then you will need to follow this step anyway. The emulators are preinstalled on the handheld, so if you take the sd card out, they will remain on the handheld
Thank you for the help!!! By the way, mine did not come with kingdom hearts 2. Mine had kingdom hearts the first one. I also found windwaker….awesome!!!
I did follow your instructions however the system only added a few games :( ...I am using the SD card that came with the anbernic do you recommend to copy data to another reliable SD card then try it again? Any advice?
Absolutely, the sds that are usually provided are cheap and are mass produced. I'd recommend getting a SanDisk or Samsung sd card for better reliability
Awesome. I got mine today and followed your video to the word. Very helpful, thank you!! Just wondering if you know if the games can be renamed (in the actual app one is thinking!?)
@@the_yorkshire_gamer7042 Couple of weeks on and all sorted, thank you! Having Daijishō was a big help. Something you might be able to help with though!? After lovingly sorting out my games folders with correct names and 'deleting' dupes to one game, if I add a single ROM to a folder, I have to rescan the path, thus getting rid of all the renaming I do. So is there a way do you know, of adding individual ROMs, rather than having to scan the path every time and losing all the work you've done!
@@the_yorkshire_gamer7042 so you are using the stock game card that came with it? To transfer to a new game card did you need to use a disk imaging utility or just drag and drop? Also what format for new card, FAT32? Many thanks mate!
When you connect to WiFi, some of the certain android apps will automatically download the cover art. For the ones that don't (PS2 app) you will need to download the image art yourself and then assign the art to each individual game
When I click use for portable storage to set up the sd card it says it needs to format and it woll erase existing content on the sd card, yours didnt say that so im not sure what to do
I'm confused! lol. I was trying to buy this but the place that was selling it said it does not come with games? Is this true? Did yours come with all the ps2 games and everything else? Thank you
@@Tonydoda if you purchase it from the link provided in this video then it will come with games. I can't vouch for any other shops selling this handheld
Is there a way to get touchscreen controls of the screen when you are playing under Nds? I just got my 405v and cant find a setting to change that like how u did earlier in the vid. Plz help thanks
@@the_yorkshire_gamer7042 will yours have any issues with the games? or can you not guarantee, and if i buy directly from anbernic will the games load 100% or is it dodgy
The only thing I could suggest is to fully reset the device. It should appear then. Please note that you will lose any additional apps you've downloaded to the device. All the preinstalled android apps will stay on it
@@sashs.9988 I'm glad it worked! The only way I know to download games directly would be to go to Vimms Lair on the browser and download them from there. You might need to set it to download to the sd card, or you should be able to move them across to the sd after if not.
Thanks, this was a lifesaver. Imagine that your utterly ignorant, like me. How would you know at the beginning even to swipe down on the touch screen? By some sort of extra sensory perception? And how would you know to press the button on the upper left of the unit? I didn’t even realize it’s there! Just fwy, I didn’t have to set up ps2 or 3ds, they were in there with games. But no GameCube. There are lots of other features on this device that leave me clueless; I’d love another vid but if you do, please go slowly and assume we know nothing! Thanks and new sub! PS Sexy Parodius for Saturn-mine didn’t work, game came up but I couldn’t figure out how to start it. Does yours work?
Mate, I've watched thousands of reviews of the RG405V and none of them had that dark screen like yours. Even on the default settings. I reckon yours came with a dodgy screen, mate. Cheers!
Every time I scroll to select a game this thing makes a popping sound, even with the volume set to 0. I’m returning this. Its buggy, very unintuitive system.
Man whoever setup the games on my card screwed me. Some are numbered, most names are acronymns and have no art. Cant tell what they are. That middle black button does not always work. It seems like it works only for specific systems (ps2, etc). Does not work for Neo. For Neo and others, you have to press Select+Start. You need to mention these little details. Overall I hate this Android crap. I have a Powkiddy that runs Jelos… waaaay easier to use, but it has tons of options that will also confuse.

Thank you for such a wonderful contribution 🙏🏻🙏🏻
This was legit so helpful thank you
No problem 😊
Thanks mate. I got mine in Shanghai so I'm going to have to get it sorted as it didn't come with a decent front end or many games.
Just ordered mine because of your video, I already have a 353v but I don't mind taking this larger device with me to work on the weekends to burn through a couple old games.
Honestly it's great. And the fact it plays PS2 and gamecube is a bonus 😍
Thank you for this!
Thanks for making this video, it was very helpful
That’s next on my list for handhelds. Looks so much more comfier than the rg505
It really is. You can play for hours, it's super comfy ❤
excellent video. thanx a lot. i have a question how do you add atari 2600? which emulator is it? thanx a lot

Thank you for this video I had no idea how to start playing the games I was about to throw this thing away😂 👍🏾👍🏾
Mine doesn't seem to be loading the games after I quit retroarch and idk what ro do about it :'l
Thank you for the help!!! By the way, mine did not come with kingdom hearts 2. Mine had kingdom hearts the first one. I also found windwaker….awesome!!!
can u do a setup video for the rug 353v

I don’t think mine can with an sd card since that notification is t showing ☹️
Thank you!!! Big help Sir!
Any advice on copying the accompanied SD card to a branded card. Heard some worrying comments about the included SD cards 👍
I usually transfer mine across to a SanDisk or Samsung sd card, as the ones they come with aren't too reliable
@@the_yorkshire_gamer7042 so you are using the stock game card that came with it? To transfer to a new game card did you need to use a disk imaging utility or just drag and drop? Also what format for new card, FAT32? Many thanks mate!
@vitorharalambus6537 yes, FAT32. Then after that it's pretty much a drag and drop situation 😊
I got problem mine stock headphones 🎧 icon. And games aren’t show too. 😢
Hi guys, Does anyone know how I can set it up to see all the game Covers?
. Thanks
When you connect to WiFi, some of the certain android apps will automatically download the cover art. For the ones that don't (PS2 app) you will need to download the image art yourself and then assign the art to each individual game
My games aren’t showing at all even after the the sd card was scanned
how to extract that live wallpaper background?
The best video to setup the machine to someone like me who doesn't understand shit of this!
Where can i found the games for the sd card?
Vimms lair is a good one
When I click use for portable storage to set up the sd card it says it needs to format and it woll erase existing content on the sd card, yours didnt say that so im not sure what to do
It sounds like the sd card might be corrupted 😔.
Have you tried putting the sd card in a pc or laptop?
Wow gamecube runs really well
Really well mate. I was really surprised 😮
I'm confused! lol. I was trying to buy this but the place that was selling it said it does not come with games? Is this true? Did yours come with all the ps2 games and everything else? Thank you
Yes it did. They probably say that it doesn't so they don't get in trouble?
@@the_yorkshire_gamer7042 that makes perfect sense 🤣🤣 thank you so much man. I've been racking my brain with all that lol. I'll go for the 256gb
@@Tonydoda if you purchase it from the link provided in this video then it will come with games. I can't vouch for any other shops selling this handheld
Excuse how can I move all those to my sd card? It’s because I do all that before I put it 😓
all of the games on retroarch arent moving to those emulators, im not sure what to do
What size sd card did you get mine is 256g and has less games
Thank you 🙏
I’m an idiot and pressed to set the SD card up to phone storage instead of external 😢 is there any way I can correct this?
I think the only way is to hard reset the device. You'll still keep all the android emulators and apps it originally came with
nvm it worked
Ooow thank you sooo muuuch, your video help me to set my RG 👍🏼🦾🦾,
No problem 😊
Is there a way to get touchscreen controls of the screen when you are playing under Nds? I just got my 405v and cant find a setting to change that like how u did earlier in the vid. Plz help thanks
Thanks. How can i add images? i put jpg image of the game ( picture) but the emulator doesnt see it
Thanks for the video! It was very helpfull! Do you know how to save games y game boy advance? A video of this would be nice! Thanks!
I just got mines today,but when ever I turn it on it makes a sound but then the screen turns black
Does an SD card come with the device?
Yes, on the link provided in the description 👌
Does anyone know a fix to get past the auto save on Pokémon games?
So I just got my Device and I accidentally cleared the message about setting up the card how do I get that message again
I think the only other way would be to factory reset the device. But this will lose any settings and additional apps you have downloaded
Mine didn't come with the mario kart on n64, how can i get it?
You promised to make a video of laggy fix for PS2, it's hard to find any information :c
What better out of this or the 505?
is you shopify link legit? like if i buy the 256gb am i gonna get all the games not tryna get scammed here
Yes! This is the seller that I got mine from. I've worked with them for almost 18 months now. I wouldn't put a link on my video if it wasn't legit 🥰
@@the_yorkshire_gamer7042 will yours have any issues with the games? or can you not guarantee, and if i buy directly from anbernic will the games load 100% or is it dodgy
The blue button is not showing at the bottom. It showed one time and after I clicked it and confirmed everything. It's not showing again

would it still work if i set it to internal???
What anime is she from in the background??
I’m missing atleast like half of the games on mine. As far as what i can see from your video.
Did you ever get to them? I’m missing games too
My sd card is taking forever to format should that be happening?
You're not supposed to format the card it came with.

so if i uselaptop charger
it will blowup
Maybe not literally, but it may break the battery

Try putting in the SD card
@@Bluzzyboy I did haha. I scanned it and nothing was on it so I added games myself

can it download mobile game?
Yes, it comes with the google play store

Man whoever setup the games on my card screwed me. Some are numbered, most names are acronymns and have no art. Cant tell what they are. That middle black button does not always work. It seems like it works only for specific systems (ps2, etc). Does not work for Neo. For Neo and others, you have to press Select+Start. You need to mention these little details. Overall I hate this Android crap. I have a Powkiddy that runs Jelos… waaaay easier to use, but it has tons of options that will also confuse.
