I love my RG35XX H. For its price, nothing beats it for PS1 and below emulation. Dreamcast is actually pretty good too, along with many PSP games. But if I didn't already own that device, I'd seriously consider getting the RG40XX H, as that bigger screen is much easier on the eyes. I'll also add that Portmaster games run surprisingly well on these H700 devices.
do you ever run into problems with the digital triggers? i'm worried them not being analog will mess with some games, but i'm not sure how many games utilized analog triggers
If you need to free up some storage, there is a 250 kb video in one of the folders from the stock OS that can be backed up and removed. What is the video of: The Eagles performing Hotel California of course.
I Want all xD. The RG35XX H, RG40XX H, Trimui Smart Pro and the XU MINI M. Already Have a SF2000, R36S, Shield Portable, Gameboy Pocket, Gameboy Advance and New 3DS XL.
Ever since I experienced the Onion OS I stopped wanting anything in this market that doesn't run it. A MM+ for low end emulation, a Steam Deck or ROG Ally for high end emulation and AAA, and a Switch Lite. I'm fully covered.
Something I don't understand of these devices... do they come ready installed with emulators? content? I know emulators were always in a grey zone so i'm surprised if they sell them with content preloaded
They should move on from the H700 chipset (and the 480p resolution), it's getting old and very limited. And a 6 button layout and a front camera would be awesome.
This soc should be able to run Android though, I do imagine they kept cost down with no wireless and thus not good for Android, but for the price I'd rather go up a bit and get an Android handheld, just got my retroid pocket 2s and I'm loving it
A ps3. ps3 emulation is still not great unless you have a beast of a PC. No handheld is even close to playing ps3 games, I have an Odin 2 and its nowhere near ps3 emulation.
PS3 probably have to wait for better software, none of the budget handhelds are an option, the steam deck probably is the cheapest one that will run PS3 but I bet a good chunk of games won't work or arent perfect, after that is your pick rog ally, legion go etc but cost goes up maybe the rog ally non extreme version is worth consider.
Anbernic has the worst analog sticks. Also I opened up my RG CUBE and found they had misplaced the thermal paste and the chips were mostly unpasted. I also had the infamous light bleed issue and Anbernic customer service was pretty poor.
Thanks for the great review! I'm particularly curious about how Resident Evil 4 for GameCube runs on this device. Has anyone tried it yet, and does it play smoothly? I'd appreciate any feedback!
It has an H700, same chipset as other retro handhelds and older devices, it can play up to psp and for 3d games you'll need auto frameskip and fps cheats enabled. It has portmaster though, you can play some native pc games on it like GTA 3 and Vice City.
@@AlmostIdiot1 If it can't do PS2 Games, like. What's the point. It does what my phone does, except it's a separate device. Potential Wasted. It's a cool doohickey, but that ain't enough to spend 100$ for something my Phone can do for same performance Besides... i could buy a Used Ps Vita and homebrew it :|
@@EliasPfaiffer It's not that unimaginable of a thing like a 40$ mod to a PSP, to modernize the Motherboard is enough to make IT into a Emulation machine that can run PS2 PS1 and PSP Games no issue So why shouldn't a thing based on Modern Hardware be unable to?
Like. My 110$ Phone, can emulate modded Java minecraft at 60fps, controls are a bit jank, but it works And that's a PHONE, it's not meant for this. Why should a 100$ Thing specifically meant to Emulate Games, Be unable to do this?
The game collections are so poorly optimized that you won’t use them anyway. A lot of them are modded and aren’t the original game. Just delete them and move on.

![More of the same, except for the PC ports… [Anbernic RG40XX H Review]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/06s42eZ56zA/mqdefault.jpg)
Thank You! You are the 1st I've known to give us a visual comparison between the Vita and the 40XXH!
Just wait six months for the RGsXcZ+- edition with the Wyoming870snapturtle processor woth 7 cores and 20 threads.
Lol!
Excellent ! 🤣
+- edition 😂😂😂😂
I wish ... An SD870 would give us PS2 at 1080p.

I never had problems with it.
This is the first time I've seen it on good studio lighting, damn it, it looks good.
I don't need it, I don't need it, I don't need it.
$70 for the standard release and $100 for the one with the extra 256GB is not bad at all for this price. I might actually consider getting this one.
You can buy a retroid pocket 3 plus for that price , a way stronger handheld
Get the trimui smart pro for 40-60$
@@hardworkingsloth Where? Every site I looked has it on the over $100 price range. Even on Retroid Pocket's own official site.
@@hardworkingslothummm. You tried. But here in America we're looking at spending no less than $135 the least if not used.
@@EliasPfaiffer the trimui smart pro triggers are small and kinda weird feeling while this one have a good controls
This looks cute like a mini Trimui Smart Pro of some sort
I got the Cube yesterday. It's a lot more expensive, but I think it was the right fit for me.
i wish they did the cube but in the 4:3 4inch screen.
Theres a rumor that this is their last h700 device. We can only hope.
@@kreatur3able I’m sure they’ll find a few more in their couch cushions they forgot about
it looks like it would make sense, as their first "new" 40xx family now they just need to update the soc so they can make you buy it gain.
And not a single word about thermal issues on this device. It gets pretty hot when playing SNES games and beyond.
If you need to free up some storage, there is a 250 kb video in one of the folders from the stock OS that can be backed up and removed. What is the video of: The Eagles performing Hotel California of course.
In black it looks like a mini of my aya neo geek
What about the termals? Will you do a teardown? Waiting for it

I ordered mine for $59 from Anbernic when there was a sale.
Ever since I experienced the Onion OS I stopped wanting anything in this market that doesn't run it. A MM+ for low end emulation, a Steam Deck or ROG Ally for high end emulation and AAA, and a Switch Lite. I'm fully covered.
Mine turns off when I push a button even with a full charge. Do I need a new battery?
Something I don't understand of these devices... do they come ready installed with emulators? content? I know emulators were always in a grey zone so i'm surprised if they sell them with content preloaded
Only with emulators. You supply the ROMs yourself
They come w/ poorly organized ROM collections. Best to delete them and upload the No-Intro sets off the Internet Archive.
these chinese companies dont GAF lol
Can you try snapdragon x Elite with egpu on Linux?
I ordered this and look forward to it. It is emulator number 35 for me. Lol
This will be my first one I decided to go with $100 price mark. Play it for a year or so then probably upgrade to a stronger handheld if I enjoy it!
@astoldbywhomever9756 welcome to the club my friend! It's a great hobby in my opinion. :)
Ooh that Anbernic RG40XX H looks really nice small retro handheld defienitily I like that blue one, that video was good thank you Eta Prime! 😊❤
Apologies if this has been covered already, but is this device able to run a PC emulator on it for old PC games?
Does this come with a screen protector?
Anyone know if there is super smash brothers on the N64 games? Do all the retro games work well out of box no mods? Thanks!
you need to include a dedicated winlator emulation test in Android devices
They should move on from the H700 chipset (and the 480p resolution), it's getting old and very limited.
It looks like how I remember the PSP, but that didn't even have 2 joysticks
can we watch youtube in this, through app or website or any other way, pls suggest?
Sadly no
This or the trimui handheld? Having a difficult time deciding what’s better
The Anbernic can play more N64, DreamCast, PSP games. The Trim UI caps at PS1 and the screen is way to big for 4:3 retro systems.
I'm gonna wait for the guys over at muos to support the handheld before I buy one.
The support is there now!
They should move on from the H700 chipset (and the 480p resolution), it's getting old and very limited. And a 6 button layout and a front camera would be awesome.
The RG Arc has 6 buttons and Sega style Dpad.
Why no transparent color this time 😡
There was already the RG35XX H. Same form factor, same dual joysticks and same chipset (same screen too?).
-EDIT- Bigger screen than the RG35XX H.
@@polo199199 I'm a bigger fan of the stacked shoulders on this one over having to reach across one to get to the other
Now I just have to wait a couple of weeks until the inevitable 40xx V comes out. Verticals are definitely my fave
Does it comes with games installed already
@@bighulk8270 yes
@@bighulk8270 yeh
You have the option of paying extra for games to be included, but their game collections aren't the greatest.
@@uncaringbear thank you
There are no Mario games. Just put your own roms in it. Search "rom mega thread"

I wanna see some NAOMI, ATOMISWAVE on this device.

That's too bad it is underpowered in that form factor.

This shits are made for little kids or dwarves!! My hands would cramp so fast with this small device. lol
is allways the same..only 4/5/7 lcd or oled....in one year no many differ...
I wish they'd added a more comfortable shape on the back :T
Cant emulate PSP games at full speed.
Mine doesn’t have any of the Nintendo emulator can someone help me?
Anbernic should move on fromthis chipset now.

Why have a Reasearch and Development department when you can just have your customers test your prototypes :'D..
Promotion of Anbernic is promotion of open piracy.
@@srvuk Good.
Did you take this stance prior to the ports issue? Because all these companies include games they technically shouldn't. Cool. 👍🏻
