I bought both. On the H, I installed batocera and batocera is just a joy to play around wirh. Games don't run as smooth as stock especially psp but no matter still fun. Like the speakers on the H and the small form factor.
Win goes to the trimui smart pro. Screen is much bigger and i can play for longer sessions without fatique. I dont mind the sticks. But really you can't go wrong wirh either of these at the $50-$60 dollar price point. I keep on buying more of them for gifts. Gotta share the love of handhelds.
Wish i had this video a few months ago when i was making the exact same decision! decided on the H after i got a huge discount voucher. I'm loving it so far, and it has become my daily driver. It's super compact, and i'm happy that anbernic is listening to the community and putting effort into updating the stock OS instead of purely relying on custom OS makers to fill the gaps.
Loving your videos man. Hope to continue seeing this long video format with detailed overviews.
Also the 35XXH has quickly become my absolute favorite retro handheld for golden age of 2D games. Up to GBA flawlessly. It's an amazing Mega Drive machine too.
i bought the xxH in the end because i want a device smaller than my phone and can easily fit in my pocket for short play time while on the train.
also the sleep mode works better now for xxH. Anbernic is constantly trying to update their software and I really like that.
Thanks for the video, I was curious about this as well.
With these two having such non-standard (so to speak) chips, I was wondering the exact same thing. Sounds like a bunch of other folks were, too! I jumped on the $50 TrimUI Smart Pro to grab a color I didn't have, so excited to see how the triggers have improved.
Just got my trimui smart pro delivered from ali express, the L2 R2 buttons are much improved.
Mine arrives this week so that's good to hear !
Great news! - I wonder how they got rid of the firmness.
@@DavidFilskovthey look the same but nowhere near the movement in Joey's video, they just click like the L1/R1 buttons
I'm probably going to buy a second one.
Same here. Triggers are definitely fixed in newer models. If anything, they’re easier than the bumpers on mine to click.
Thanks for that video. I didn't know which one to get. I took the trimui and I don't regret it. Subscribed ;)
A batocera fork called Knulli is also being built out for the Trim UI Smart Pro (currently in alpha) so that's gonna be a huge benefit if its done well
just bought the rg35xxh this video made me rethink my decision lol. i hadn’t heard of the trimui. i will hopefully buy that one soon aswell
Ay another banger, thanks Joey!
Got my Trimui smart pro soon after launch and love it.
Do you recommend it? And is it easy to add games?
how is the screen compared to rg35xxh?
Currently, batocera, which was on Anbernica, has changed its name to KNULLI and will also be available on Trimui. The first version is already available
Sleep Mode is the key for me! I will receive my trimui this weeks lets see if i get the trigger fixed one, thanks for the video
I ended up getting both Joey for collecting purposes. I appreciate the video !
I had a RG35xx-H, still have my trimui smart pro. Trimui smart pro feels better in the hand, feels solid and premium by comparison. Screen is miles better. Dont care much about the hard triggers as I rarely use them and only for hotkeys
Fantastic comparison my friend
The sexy man himself, thank you sir.
@JoeysRetroHandhelds How well does Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask play on the Trimui Smart Pro? I'm very curious on your standpoint
I've had my RG35XX H for a little while now and I've been having a lot of fun with it. First game i played was Tekken 5 from the PSP and I didn't encounter any issues with it at all. Next step is getting a mini HDMI so I can plug it into my TV
I know i add to the confusion but... Trimui smart pro vs powkiddy rgb10 max3? I got the latter for 80€ shipping included in the initial sale while the trimui casted arounf 70, then it dropped to 50 and i felt I had made a mistake... I love my rgb10 max3 (except the name, of course...) but probably for almost half price the trimui would be better?
Thanks for the comparison.
Unfortunately where I live the TrimUI Smart Pro has always been 15-25 USD more expensive than RG35XX H (and its price equivalent is the non-Pro one). I would've picked up the Smart Pro in a heartbeat if they're at the same price point.
I managed to climb out of the - retro-gaming-hand-held-rabbit-hole a few months back and was regaining my footing. But then the Anbernic RG35XX H came out and I started looking into it and, well, I fell right back down the rabbit hole.
Use trimui daily, and after 1.0.4 and Vulcan update...there is also batocera in development for trimui
Agree on sleep mode, its fantastic battery saver
U forgot trimui vertical mode btw, and i love shooters on it
I returned my Trimui because the closed SO. If I can install Batocera I might reconsidere it. Thanks for commenting it!
Dude, random comparisons between fashion clippers. I love the idea.
Right? I kid you not, I stumbled upon the Smart Pro just yesterday and wondered if it was gonna make me regret my H purchase. And this vid here drops. Amazing.
I have them both here as well. I am amazed by the sleep mode of the smart pro as well. But muOS boot time of 5 secs on „the H“ compensates this imho. Also, i prefer the screen size and aspect on the H, it fits better to what the devices can play comfortable.
I will keep both and see what still comes regarding cfw.
thx for the review of both, but 3 informations are missing:
- can we easily play multi on both?
- can we put in ont TV easily? (no hdmi for the trimui: usbC usable for that?)
- can we easily add new core or emulators on both (that's often my probleme : I want to had just a coleco core or emulator and it is sometimes e big problem for such a little thing to do...
Great comparison video Joey! But no HDMI out is a big thing for me, so the Anbernic wins. I own another of their devices the RG405M and its perfect up to the point where I'm unable to connect it to a larger monitor or tv to game.
You can do that with an LD39 cable
I got a trimui and a rg35xx plus
@@heymarton There are quite a few articles on Reddit that say the LD39 cable doesn't work , or if it does there is no audio unfortunately. I tried streaming games via a Chromecast, but there was noticable input lag. In any case, I still love how pocketable the device is, and am pretty happy with it. 😄
Just going to say I'm glad I picked the H, haven't noticed said static noise at all. Although the white smart is the best looking imo. I have a Miyoo mini v4 that I use for RPG gameboy games, the H for pretty much everything PSOne and under, and my steam deck for everything else.
I disagree about equal performance! "H" has a screen resolution of 640x480, while TRIMUI Smart Pro has 1280x720 and displays approximately the same frame rate. It's like comparing rtx 4060 for FHD and rtx 4070ti for QHD, the frequency is the same, which means the performance is equal? No, TRIMUI Smart Pro is more productive than "H".
So Odin 2 is more powerful than the steam deck right? Because a 1080p60 display is bigger than 800p60 while displaying the same frame rate?
Muroon.
Unless you are upscaling the internal resolution, the emulator is outputting the same amount of pixels to both screens, regardless of their respective native resolutions.
Both the games are running the same settings in the video. The correct comparison would be like a 750ti on a 720p screen vs a gt1030 on a 4k screen both running a game rendered at 720p. Yes I'm using low end hardware so it's easier to visualise the 4k screen is pointless if the hardware can't make use of it.
1 will naturally run slightly better than the other but close enough framerate. Similar performance. The trimui running the games on the video is outputting the same resolution with the rg35xx h. It's just stretched to the correct aspect ratio.
It would be different if the trimui is running ppsspp at 2x and the rg35xx at 1x but that is not the case here.
Saying all that the screen isn't completely useless, easier to run systems like GBA will naturally look better on the trimui because we can bump up the resolution and still fills up the screen with integer scaling.
It has a better screen and possibly a slightly better performance on some games, not enough to make a big deal of. If you can't run elden ring on 750ti, you still can't run it on the 1030 either kind of case. It doesn't matter if 1 has 5 fps more than the other.
@@jamesyu5212 Graphics performance over the competition is expressed in stable frame changes and greater resolution. If you have 1080p and 30 frames versus 800p and 60 frames, the conclusion is obvious. And if HD 720p30 frames and 480p30 frames, what will you choose? It’s clear that in some comparisons the content of 1xpsp is stretched to 720p\480p, but this does not mean that they are equal.
@@sergei5893 it's a good thing Joey didn't say equal but rather " just about the same". The last thing anyone in the market for a low end emulation device is whether one can output 5 more frames per second.
And what is anbernic supposed to do, render at 720p resolution and down sample to 480p just to make the one or 2 pedantic folks like you happy? Get over yourself.
When installing batocera on the RG35XXH, do you have to insert the second SD upon first boot up to initialize that one for the roms and/or bios or should insert the second sd card after and go from there?
New revision triggers for TSP have basically the same travel, resistance and feel of the r1/l1. I was pleasantly surprised at how useable they were. Unit also shipped with 1.0.3 firmware. Unfortunately my unit had bad analog stick that quickly degraded.
Otherwise my recommendation is to not buy a handheld based on potential future development, especially if you don’t plan to do any of that yourself.
That's always my concern. Is it repairable?
5:17 I was wondering why mine felt so easy to press and use when everyone's being saying they were horrible.
Got mine during the SuperSaver AliExpress event. Disassembled it to fix the no boot up problem to disconnect and reconnect the battery and noticed that they changed the triggers, basically adding extra padding to them. So yeah, can confirm that it should be greatly improved compared to those without.
I am kind of disappointed that despite ordering after people were saying it was fixed I got a unit with the worse triggers AND through normal use the narrow strips of plastic between the shoulder and trigger button is now cracked on both sides which caused one shoulder button to seize up for a while until I loosened the nearby screw
The R36S is the way to go i have it and for price/look/feel 60$ or less it does what i need ps1/64 play good i in joy it
the rg35xx h is the same os as the r36s both best bang for the $$$$$$$$$$$
very nice review! indeed i took time to compare the 2. i choose the H for the portablility, and as ive already a powkiddy rgb10max, the form factor is almost the same. I agree that the rp2s is my favorite handleld for th emoment, but it's so beautiful that i have fear to damage it in my pocket. I chose the H cause i dont think ill break it. Moreover 4/3 for old games is better in my opinion.
I have no problem with my triggers, I received my unit in late Feb.
if i have an Anbernick RG35XXPLUS, should i buy this one? i want a horizontal console for Retro gaming but I don't know what to buy
any suggestions? also I considered the retroid poket 4
thanks
Super in-depth and I really appreciate that. Good comparison video. For the stuff that matters to me (D-pad and screen, mostly) it seems like the TrimUI Smart Pro is the easy winner.
Interesting that you talked about how terrible the TrimUI Smart sounded yet in the video it was the louder of the two, although both sounded pretty awful. You don't buy a retro handheld for the speakers it seems LOL
The out of the box performance is miles ahead on the H. I have the H and had the Trimui for 2 days and I sent it back.
The Trimui feels better in the hands (on the one i had the triggers were even great, no pb with them), but the performance was horrible for me. I also found it way less intuitive than the H.
Somehow since the screen is bigger the games looked more pixelated and ugly imo tbh, and I couldn't figure out how to scale them better (keep in mind i'm new to all this). A lot of games were not playing right, etc.
On the H i have had no issues.
On top of that, for the from factor that it has, i would want the Trimui for ps1 and above, but it can't play it, so it's moot for me.
I'm aware the performance can be enhanced with a lot of tinkering but that's too much for me, personally. If you're into that then go for it.
The H plays psp and n64 and NDS out of the box without issue (for me), so it's a no brainer.
Anyway, just my 2 cents.
idk i got my Smart Pro this week and so far i don't mind the triggers. theyre serviceable imo.
Love seeing your reviews and guides, but as I'm just getting into retro gaming, they are quite often over my head. I'm currently using my Samsung phone, the S23 Ultra, and would love a guide on controllers, etc., that would enhance the gameplay, as I'm not yet ready to jump to a standalone handheld.
Both of these are awesome for a sub $50 handheld. I'm pretty happy with the H with muOS, but lacks some features at the moment. I find myself going for the Trimui more though, with the nicer screen and more comfortable feel. The software is a bit quirky but got plenty of features. Sleep mode is amazing. Unfortunately analogs are garbagio.
I'd say go for the H if you prefer something smaller (big screen ends up being mostly bezels), actually want to use the analogs, or hate clicky buttons lol. Or wait for the 28XX.
RP2S is a good upgrade but don't sleep on the RG505, goes for the same price these days and the screen is just perfect for PSP.
When I was debating between the 2. I didn't really see the point of a 16:9 display unless it did PSP really well.
some ds games are nice on it with the screens side by side. ds games that need a stylus are miserable on it due to no touch screen though.
@@inimitableminimalist yea I'd just end up using my phone with a DSP-3 . larger screen and more versatile.
5" 16:9 1280x720 gives you a much better 4:3 image than the H. It's larger and higher resolution.
would you consider doing a moonlight demo with the smart pro?
Great video.
What shelves are those in the background? Very cool
Ikea Skadis!
Why compare them? Because you have both, same as me. I like physical design of TrimUI but I hate the normal interface but Knuli is in testing for both so both will be able to run batocera which is what I prefer to run.
if i buy two trim ui can i connect them both tru wifi or BT to play the same exact game as 2 players?
Yes you can, wifi
How about rgb30? Which one is better?
If u like play solo/alone, choose trimui, coz rg35xx got hdmi out n extra usb,can play 2 players games with friend
I have the H and I've been looking at the TrimUI like the guy in that meme. I think I would choose the H again over the Trim, but it seems the Trim could make some moves in the future with volcan. My H cannot bluetooth audio. The H has new Stock firmware, but you must flash it to an sd. The new stock OS runs way more games at higher end better. I know for your vid it was "out the box" but the H can play many Dreamcast and PS1 games with little issue now on updated stock. The nintendo DS screen real estate is nice for DS players. I like tante in the vertical arcade section on the H. It would look great on the Trim if you could achieve this, I'm sure you can. Thanks for the well timed comparison!
The H can do BT Audio with Batocera/Knulli and some other CFWs.
Good vid. Powkiddy RGB10 Max 3 vs Trimui Smart Pro next pls.
It's really a shame that the TrimUI doesn't have HDMI-out.
It has 2 type c ports...another reviewer it'll go from type c to hdmi for video out...have you tried it?
Does the trimui comes with alot of games on the SD card?
First time I heard about the static hiss on the H, as I didn't hear it before (and tried it before commenting, full volume and speakers to my ear, on Batocera v40). Could be a hardware issue on the unit. When I was looking for my 1st emulation handheld (on a budget) the Trimui Smart Pro & RG35XX H were the 2 I was looking at seriously. I weighed my choices but price won out as the price gap - RG was $52, Trim was $77 - was not negligible. But the trim is definitely a winner for the bigger screen, a boon to anyone with bad eyesight.
Honestly the next step for the Trimui Smart Pro is a Powkiddy X55, similar performance and a large 5.5 in screen around $75.
That would just be a sidegrade, no real reason to ever make that switch.
@JoeysRetroHandhelds True, though I think there's a good argument to fo X55 over Trimui Smart Pro in the first place. $50 vs $75. Larger screen, better shoulders, better sticks and stick placement for game streaming ect.
@@AaronThePony I personally hated the rgb30 and i'm avoiding powkiddy cause i had quality issues in hardware and bugs with jelos... x55 a little more powerful and more comfortable, but less pocketable than the trim ui and more expensive
The xx h get super better after the latest two updates dreamcast became native an now i can play 90% of psp, now you can play music and videos too, only postmaster is missing
Wait till the customs cfw by the communit, this device will become 64-bit architecture it will be possible to play portmaster and the performance for PSP/DC/N64 will be much better than stock OS.
I’m hoping you see this but can you run a test for me? Dreamcast Marvel vs Capcom 2 how does it run?
Is a Bluetooth/DS4 controller compatible with the Trimui for playing Retroarch, as it is with the Ambernic [...]H?
It is not.
Thanks buddy 🙂
Love ya cho
so if I want one for N64 and PSP I should go for a Retroid 4 or something in that range? it there something smaller that can play those reliably?
Here's a good for N64 list! joeysretrohandhelds.com/good-for/n64-dc/
I have filters on my website for you to see different handhelds and compare :)
@@JoeysRetroHandhelds ohhh really nice
I got both and Trimui, despite it having a bit worse D-pad and analogs, still is my choice
Whoaa, how did you make BanjoTooie work that well on the H, what cfw, emulator/core, settings?
i use parallel core, CPU core i use dynamic and GFX plugin i use gln64. works for me
minor graphical errors with the loading puzzle screen. but works nicely
If no L3 AND R3 Then How Do I Get Into The Menus Of Arcade Games Like Ms Pac Man , Rompers ETC ....
I almost bought the Trimui smart pro, but i found out it can barely play psp, bad trigger, speaker and sticks. Dont like Anbernic, because i'm team Miyoo. So I got a Retroid Pocket 3+, but i dont like how complicating android is.
Are they team toycoma98? Please don’t become a fanatic. These are just Chinese companies selling products for profit. Obviously if Miyoo products are more enjoyable to you cool. But we shouldn’t let that close the door to competing products.
Android setup is indeed complicated. The available guides help, but you'll need at least a day for setup. And if you want to optimize individual games for GameCube, Wii, PS2 or even PSP in some cases, then add another few days with the RP3+. I have nothing against the RP3+ but it took me a month to setup two for my kids with everything up through 50 GC titles. I didn't even attempt Wii or PS2 after few tests. There's really no way to copy all your settings between Android devices now that Google has locked-up the directory system. The RP4 and RP4 Pro ease setup for GC, PS2 and Wii through brute-force emulation -- at a price. But the RGB10Max3 (non-pro) is probably the best Linux-based handheld right now for up through 60% of the PSP library (often 2x res on the RK3566 chipset). I personally think the RG35XX 'H' is much more useful and certainly pocketable enough to serve as anyone's daily driver -- snapping D-pad cardinals and all (affecting perhaps 1% of games). Team Miyoo has great quality but so does the R35-Plus which might become a viable option if OnionOS proves portable. I just returned my R25-Plus but it felt just as good as the Miyoo Mini Plus in terms of controls, but I'm simply not interested in dual-core Cortex A7 devices at any price, in any scenario.
@@wingsfromheaven8788 android is hella easy if u emulated games on ur phone before.
know im a bit late to the party but can anyone give any input on the portability of the 35xx h vs the pocket flip??
ive been thinking about replacing my miyoo mini v3 with something like the 35xx h, but i already own a pocket flip and from what i can tell the footprint and weight of the pocket flip is very similar to the xx h but with the 5'' screen basically slapped on the front. is the size/weight of the pocket flip really significant over the xx h?
How did you know my exact dilemma at the moment 😂
Where did you get that blue version coffee mug??
Came from a user! twitch.tv/ttime_retro
For me the 4:3 screen and pocket factor was the main reason to buy the H.
Love it and for me DreamCast performance was the biggest surprise. Rayman 2 is a joy to play on it.
Can they play saturn?
Like all everyone ever mentions is psx, 64, DC and PSP but i want to play saturn games
I really want the Trimui Smart Pro for the PSP form factor, but held off of buying as it cant play that. Just dripped in more cash and picked up an RP3+. The H on the other hand, has a place for me. All systems the H and the Smart Pro play are 4:3 mostly, so it's really just the GBA where i see them neck to neck in screen estate usage.
I really think despite how decent the Smart Pro is, it doesnt have a place in my use cases.
Also, software support and connunity support on the H is better than on the Smart Pro, and it's one of the H's biggest advantages. Any issues with the H, the community more or less have answers.
I almost bought the Trimui smart pro, but i found out it can barely play psp, bad trigger, speaker and sticks. Dont like Anbernic, because i'm team Miyoo. So I got a Retroid Pocket 3+, but i dont like how complicating android is.
@@toycoma98 android isnt too bad once you get the grups of customizing it. In fact, the features "added" to current custom firmware in linux devices that are currently being praised have long already been in android, like being able to play music and videos, easy wifi/bluetooth use, tv out... But android has never been praised for these. Oh yeah, and android has an easier time with user level indepth customization, while linux custom firmwares are at the mercy of their developers, like with folder management, OS level config (like android's base contrast and brightness), and much more.
Sure i love my linux devices, but i find it amusing that linux is being praised when its custom firmwares get features already on android, and android was never praised for already existing features.
Hii joey , after i change my sd card os to new branded sd card os . Im using anbernic stock os from the website but My psp emulator is missing . How do we put the psp emulator back in the stock os ? Thank you .
chances are you have the emulator but dont have games in the folder. The folder/emulator wont show up in the h unless you actually have games in the folder it can run i believe
Okay I'm hate watching this as I told you I would. The trimui pro wins, my official prediction!
which one has more silent buttons?
I've both of these devices and hands down, the Trimui is superior.
It's got a much nicer screen and plays more games at a better framerate, including Sega Saturn, which barely runs on the Rg35xxh.
next step up for the trimui is the X55 or RGB10 Max 3 to me, next step up for the RG35XX H is the RG353V for 70 USD imho
There's no point, all of those devices are still RK3566, which puts their performance in the same position as the H and Smart Pro. Those are side grades, not upgrades.
Where were these found for a 50 dollar budget ?
I have both, I prefer the smart pro 🎉
what is the blue and pink handheld in the background?
Anbernic RG280M.
I get tired of the up to ps1 devices😅
.. Somehow we're regressing here.
The Trimui plays plenty of DC, N64, and PSP games.
@@lookingforwookiecopilotI think "getting tired of up to PS1 devices" at least partially refers to the difficulty of setup and game/rom selection when it comes to the bonus systems (N64, DC, PSP). I've spent days optimizing these bonus systems on RK3326, H700 and RK3566 devices. I don't have the TrimUI Smart Pro (A133 Plus device) but that raw performance slots in-between the H700 and RK3566 (Vulcan support notwithstanding). I'm not personally complaining though, because we do this to ourselves. We push T618 devices beyond PSP into limited GameCube and even PS2. We push D900 and D1100 devices beyond PS2 into limited Wii-U. LOL, I guess this cycle of madness finally ends with the Oden2 or Steam Deck. 😅
Said it all. It's a never ending pursue of wanting it to work with something it actually doesn't. I have a x18s that people said it could run gamecube, but it doesn't and controls are pretty bad. So I ended up using my s20fe that are meant to stay at home for banking apps to play ps2 and gamecube, bought the day before yesterday a rg35xx plus for n64 and below, now after some searching it seems n64 is not well playable on it and no analog sticker makes it really rough for this. Now i want to buy the rg35xx h. It NEVER ENDS. And in Brazil there's a new law you can only buy 50 dollar and under products without an abusive 100 percentage tax, so for me, right now, i can't go up in category. 😅 Neverending pursue of what we do not have 🤷🏻♂️
I have smart pro at the moment waiting to receive my rg353vs for a better software.
Trimui Smart Pro 2 is going to be a huge improvement, well in theory, the first one is already a good emulation console.
when is that comming out
Trimui smart pro or anbernic353v?
Static noises? Maybe the one you have is bad. My RG35XX H is excellent! I love it with Batocera!
No, it's applicable to every unit. It's a known downside.
I honestly am pressing my ear up against the speaker and I can’t hear anything. 🫤
Lucky! Loading any game or exiting a game produces static noise, even the custom firmware devs have said nothing they can do about it, just something to live with. I have it on both of my 35XX devices.
It’s interesting that you are the only one mentioning this apparent static sound issue, because other youtubers they don’t mention it at all and I don’t have the issue, maybe I’m def. And I also had the regular 35XX. Maybe I’m used to it? Interesting.
Can't comment on other RUclipsrs, just going off my experience and devs as well as others who notice the same thing :)
Either way, not a big deal.
The TrimUI Smart Pro is the better device. I own it. BUT it's just for Pro's in tinkering and Linux knowledge. Not for the faint of the heart. If you know how Dingux worked way back, the TrimUI is the device for you. In the end you get the latest RetroArch and Vulkan support.
How about they’re start adding charge adapters
These aren’t close enough in price for me to be comparable really. The trim is quite a bit more expensive. I’m not sure where you’re getting this for $50. At $90 for the trim you might as well get a retroid 2s. I still really enjoyed the comparison though. I Always wondered how the chips in these two would compare to each other.
They're the same price. I show it in the video as well :)
I'll take the Trimui Smart Pro any day of the week. Simply put, "looks". 😅
The Trimui Smart Pro doesn't get a lot of love but it's an amazing device for the price. It has no competition on that price-bracket.
$49.92 all in for an RG35XX H on AliExpress and it comes with the OS card that has 5500 games installed. The only options I found in that price point for the Trim UI were system only
@@XxSHORTY101x The MicroSD cards that are included won't last and you'd have to buy a replacement anyway. You can get better roms easily with a little google search.
Latest stock fw for the H is the best fw for that device at the moment
What did they improve in the newest version? How is it better than batocera koriki? Not arguing with you, just asking because I immediately put batocera on mine and never tried the stock os, let alone the newest version
@@jordandiaz5526 These are some of the issues I have come across when using all FW:
MuOS
HMDI support very early. No audio over HDMI yet
Sound bug where your sound drops out completely and you have to press volume button 12 times for it to come back. Issue is replicated on almost every reboot so its annoying
No "one button" press to bring up quick menu. You have to use MENU+X which is annoying tbh
No game search feature
Release 11 looks promising so once that's released I will check again. I think its just one guy working on MuOS so fixes and feature updates will probably be slow
Batocera
Performance is not as good as Stock. DC games struggle particularly.
OS heavy on resources so battery drains faster
Most UI and themes are developed for big screen TV/Monitors so many are unusable as the text is too small to read
HDMI audio drops out
MoD 3
Since its a mod for official FW its always behind (currently using 240130, latest stock FW is 240409)
Introduced new bugs like sleep mode activating automatically when using Wi-Fi
Stock OS
Everything just works
Performance is best on Stock ( especially PSP)
VARCADE mode!
Not the best looking visually
Latest STOCK OS has more emulators and cores than batocera
also wifi works better, but the most important improvement is the performance, PSP AND PS1 works really nice in STOCK OS . Batocera has many bugs and issues
It's a never ending pursue of wanting it to work with something it actually doesn't. I have a x18s that people said it could run gamecube, but it doesn't and controls are pretty bad. So I ended up using my s20fe that are meant to stay at home for banking apps to play ps2 and gamecube, bought the day before yesterday a rg35xx plus for n64 and below, now after some searching it seems n64 is not well playable on it and no analog sticker makes it really rough for this. Now i want to buy the rg35xx h or the trimui. It NEVER ENDS. And in Brazil there's a new law you can only buy 50 dollar and under products without an abusive 100 percentage tax, so for me, right now, i can't go up in category. 😅 Neverending pursue of what we do not have 🤷🏻♂️
NGL the Trimui Smart Pro is definitely better. The only thing holding the RG35XX H back is the 4:3 screen. If it had a 3:2 screen on it, it would (probably) be slightly better than the Trimui Smart Pro. 4:3 screens are good for most but not all retro gaming plus ports are better on 16:9, 5:3, and 3:2 screens. Also the L3 and R3 on the RG35XX would be an instant win.
35xx H sticks are bad due to having 8 directional sticks and not 360 sticks… check it please
I got the h and I can't complain at that price
Just the video I needed. I have the 35xxh and was considering the trimui but sounds like it would not be prudent for value
I love my TrimUI Smart Pro. I was quite surprised actually. An underdog that has become one of my favs!
The best thing to do is buy a controller for your mobile phone. Anbernic stuff breaks and my mobile can play ps2
I agree the RP2S is twice as good but it’s twice as much so price to performance they are all about the same. RG35XX-H is a better in pocket device at least for me for size on Modified StockOS non of the other. VZW’s give you full functionality. The TrimUI Smart Pro is a great 1 device solution for anyone getting into the hobby. I’ve been beta testing TomatoOS for a while now and yes it’s an overlay like MinUI but with TomatoOS in most all cases it out performs the stock os even after the newest update.
Trimui for me because I have big hands
Will this play Mario Tennis 64 flawlessly? Tyvm
Nope, but any of these will: joeysretrohandhelds.com/handheld-list/filters/good-for/n64-dc/
I'm a cheap man and the retroid pocket 4 is the cheapest available ,time to research! Thanks a ton and ez sub from me!
Enjoy yourself!
@@jeffp.6349 Retroid Pocket 2S would be the cheapest if you don't mind the smaller screen!
I love the form factor of the H, but long-term use shows a lot of its issues. Even scouring Reddit, every day someone is having an issue with the H, (especially custom firmware) either power-related or network related. Not having syncthing work correctly is a deal-breaker for me. The Trim UI looks interesting though.
I have both. I think most of the issues on the H are caused by bad sd cards and third party OSs. The stock OS is pretty good ( better than the TrimUI IMO). If you want something really small, get the H. If you want s big screen, get the TrimUI.
People are mostly bumping into known bugs in a pre-alpha custom firmware. That should pretty much all be fixed by the time Knulli actually gets a stable release. Once that's done, the TrimUI Smart Pro is getting supported next, so they'll be running the same software.
Syncthing can be run on H?
@@deepakh.s6346 Yes, and it works well.
Both
I have small hands. Anbernic for me❤
