      Maybe it's over simplification, you can see that his own video contradicts what he says about integer scaling on NES, it's not a conincidence that he swicthed from showing up Castlevania to Mega Man to make his point about integer scaling

    the handling is just perfect. the display is also a stunner!
    up to and including PSX, everything runs perfectly and without any problems. Especially things like SNES , GBA , GB , GBC , FBN , MAME , Mega Drive look just sexy and razor sharp with a filter!
    But what I love most is the Vertical form factor! I also have horizontal handhelds, but to be honest, I'm nowhere near as happy with them as I am with the RG351V!!!
    I can really recommend this thing to everyone!

    You were right about the integer scaling! It does make the games look better even if the screen space gets reduced some games I cannot unsee it lol after watching both the 1st part and 2nd part I managed to set up my RG351V!! :D Thank you! I don't have another sd card to put on a different software so I'm gonna make a backup copy and then try ArkOs :D that will be the next review I watch but for now I got one of my systems on there and I can play that in the meantime :D as someone with a brain injury and learning disabilities your guides made this possible :) big thumbs up from me.

    @emilyiker9293 3 года назад +1

    For screen configuration in RA, I definitely recommend giving the "sharp-bilinear-simple" shader a shot! It does an integer scale followed by a bilinear for the rest, giving a fairly sharp image without any distortion. I don't have a 351v, but that shader gives me some fantastic results on my 351p, so much so that I ended up preferring it to RGA scaling

  • @DenkyManner
    @DenkyManner 3 года назад +5

    A side effect of non-integer scaling is pixel shimmer when the screen scrolls. It's caused by pixels changing size as they move in and out of being the wrong width or height. You can fix this by using interpolation which filters the image without making it blurry. You can do this in Retroarch using shaders. I can only vouch for how well this works on a full HD Android tablet. On a lower resolution screen the effect may not be as nice, but maybe it is, I have no way to test it.

    I got this thing in the mail the other day and I freaking love it. I was just sitting there trying it out and ended up playing Silent Hill for quite a while. I really prefer this style over my 350m. I've always had a thing for OG gameboys though so maybe thats why. The screen is gorgeous and I really like the little case it came with. It's just crazy that I'd much rather play Mario on this over my switch. Can't wait to see how to possibly improve this console in the future, cuz this is the one i'll be playing for a while.

I've been trying to replicate my RG351P setup, but I found that all crt / lcd shaders don't play nice on the RG351V. Maybe it has to do with screen rotation code? I actually have pretty much the same issues on the Retroid Pocket 2...

    Thanks for the guide ... that will come in handy :). Hopefully my RG351V will arrive on Friday. I like the default EmuElec Firmware from Anbernic (But i will clean the roms from the second micro SD-card and use only games that i own). I mainly want to play my games from my old Gameboy and NES. So are there any advantages to use 351elec or ArcOS other then better optimizations for Dreamcast and N64? I don't plan on getting my Dreamcast games onto that device yet but i might try to get them from the old CDs :D down the road.
    i ordered some additional SD cards so i might check out 351elec Reborn too. Maybe its new/improved Dreamcast emulator might spark more interest for Dreamcast in me when it is available for the RG351V too.

    Hi Russ, i got this problem, i can only go to the quick menu while in-game only once or twice and then it stopped working altogether, everything else works except for the "Menu toggle gamepad combo" no matter how i set and save the configuration, it just doesnt work :(

    Did anyone have an issue setting the Rewind key? I've enabled it via 'Settings > Frame Throttle > Rewind.' and have set the Hotkey (saved the config) but the 'Settings > Frame Throttle > Rewind' toggle keeps resetting to 'disabled all the time. ☹️

    Can someone tell me why from my Retroarch (351V with Arkos here) I can't access any "Import content" menu to scan roms?
    I basically have a castraded UI atm...

    How easy is it to configurate the time zone, I have a 351M, plated for about a day a good day, so it's very new to me. But now there's a bunch of text shows up that says fail for the time zone. I could play a lot of games but like I was following you with Mame 1943 game to make a sharper or whatever lol, then I noticed those texts were popping up on the screen then a white box in the middle of the screen telling me 27% of retroarc for Roms core ect ..

    So how do we move games over and stuff if it only came with 1 sd card. I don’t have the stuff to copy over from the original one
