Super intimidating but also i’m starting to get scared that graphics are going to be worse than i expected… funny thing is i bought a psp go with thousands of games pre downloaded but like back in 2012 and the picture quality is equal to or better than… which does not make sense..
There are tons of videos about anbernic devices on here. Thank you for being the only one I could find about actually setting up a device. We need more stuff like this. This also works with the 405M. Keep up the good work, you mad lad.
@shakevance I got the grey model. It runs great! The only issues I've even had is running into a rom occasionally that doesn't wanna run, but it's few & far between. I have no other device to compare it to, only a steam deck which are 2 different things, but I highly recommend the 405m. The chassis makes it feel high quality too.
good job. I'm new to the handheld emulator mumbo jumbo and this looked like an easy setup, this will influence my decision whether to buy it. thank you! :)
Tbh honest they are pretty much the same it terms of what they can do, but the feel of this one makes it feel like a you're holding a deluxe quality handheld 😊
You can use my shopify to purchase one if you want. Delivery is 7-10 working days and the value is converted to £ at the checkout flamingo-selected.myshopify.com
This will be my third anbernic handheld....im hoping this will satisfy my ongoing wanting the perfect psp emulator under $200. Honestly im on a quest to get at least 5 more handhelds....i dont like the design of the deck but i have seen these odin pro 2 types including itself. This will be my first "big boy" emulation machine. I hope i can get used to it
im interested buying this for my kid but when i went to the shop to buy this the seller said it doesnt come with preinstalled games with it. now i was wondering how the hell do i install game roms on this? sorry im totally new with retro consoles
help!! i’m stuck at 4:22 every time i press confirm it just goes back to the screen before the popup. the card in inserted correctly, what am i doing wrong?
Ok this may be a dumb question but where are the games? I went through the set-up process as shown in the video but now I don’t know where to go to actually open the games. I’m used to the Anbernic RG35XX where you turn it on, select a game system, click on it and you instantly have a catalog of 100/150 games to choose from. With this, if I open a GBA emulator I have to set/select folders, if I open “file” then I can choose a game system and see games but if I click on it I just get a message “can’t preview this file type”. Where are the games!!??
Did you ever figure this out? I am about to get one but I wouldn't be good with downloading games and all that stuff so I'll only get it if it comes with games
So I just got this and thought it was pretty much turn on and go, I can't seem to figure out how to load the games. Do I need to use the SB card that was included?
Hi ! Nice video ! My button « home/return » doesn’t switch between the android menu and the emulator , do you have any advice ? The console is brand new and I followed all your instructions ! Thx !
Another question I have is that does it come with Google play store out the gate or you had to install it? Some other reviews have said this was missing?
Are you gonna do more like this in dumb so this doesn’t make sense to me and I’m thinking about getting one but I had a question. How do I change the background?
I just ordered mine. I’m thinking it does. But the more gigs the memory card has the more preloaded games it comes with. For example the one i ordered has 128g’s and for the n64 games I think it’s got like 6-8 games pre downloaded. Compared to this one, this one has 250g’s and it’s got 16 n64 games pre downloaded
Yes to PS2 and Gamecube. I have put the link in the description of this video, this is where mine came from. And yes, it can connect to TV via screen casting and/or the OTG port 😁
So is this with the provided sd cards when u buy from anbernic?pre loaded with games ? Also if i were to buy a sd card already configered with all the games and a better firmware like gamma os or something what sd slot would i put it in and would i use both cards? This shit is so confusing
I’m having trouble with my retroarch menu in games.. I can’t save or load my games while using games through retro arch and I have my hot key to the menu toggle in settings but it still doesn’t work I need help please anyone
I set up the sd card wrong I put internal storage instead of portable storage. How do I change it to portable storage? Or I can’t anymore ? Please help me I would appreciate it
Just got my new Anbernic 405m and it didn’t come with an SD card in it, so do I have to start from scratch and download everything, like the games and roms and stuff to a card??
Do you know if anbernic format micro SD to ext3/ext4 ? I've encountered the problem after a I put my SD card into my Android 12 phone e it fomatt the card in exfat that not allowed file over 4gb of space, there is a ton of over 4gb iso for ps2
@KayleighTheBacon surprisingly good, I guess it really depends on your WiFi strength. I've shown me playing God of War Ragnorok on my tiktok livestreams using the app and there's literally no lag. It's basically a tiny screen for your ps5 😁
Hey so I saw your question and nobody answered it I just got one and it just arrived and yes the games come on the MicroSD card that I'm aware of like I plug mine in there were games already on it
If you got small hands rg405m is better to hold instead of the 505 because it has jagged corners performance wise they both the same If you buy the 505 with the memorycard I believe it's better than running gamma os cause many of the games already came tweaked enough to be played...but maybe I was high...but to me it's not worth the gammaos but you might like it
Why is the cable so important? You say if you use a laptop cable it will blow out the battery but a cable is a cable. The part you plug the cable into is what’s Important. There’s a transformer inside each power brick or anywhere you plug in the usb. What you plug it into is what’s important. The cable is not usually that important.
I wish this wasn’t Android only. I get people like the play store and all that. But for pure retro functionality the various Linux distros and front ends are so, so, so much better than Android.
@abigailgonzales1545 if you just want the classic consoles (snes, nes, megadrive, gameboy, etc) up to ps1, hdmi out and no analogue sticks, then I'd deffo go for the rg35xx. But if you want gamecube, ps2, wii, 3ds, psp, 2ds etc, playstore, touchscreen and android, then I'd go for this model

100% agree I went everywhere for this. Thank you!!
I’m considering buying this anbernic and your the ONLY person telling me how to set this up thank you so much
I have this device his video is n I think helping me what so ever to set it up
After unboxing, I didnt really know where to click and what to do. This video helped out greatly. I just wanted to play Zelda on SNES
Thank you for this video. I am a newbie, and I couldn't figure out how to set it up. Great video!
I'm searching alone for ONE week to set up the games !! So Thank you so much ! !
No problem 😊
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I literally bricked one of these because I couldn’t find a video that could dumb it down enough for a super novice like me.
Love your commentary .
Just got mine in the mail today. Thank you for the video, it was very helpful!
How's the device behaving so far? Any issues? What color you got? :D

Thank you very much!

Thank you. I was clueless 😅
Thank you, helped me a lot
super easy setup thank you for the help

Very helpful thank u
How to download games on the base system without the extra sd card i am new to emulation btw
Mine didn’t come with a sim?

If it didn't come up then they must have already done it for you 😁
You saved me bro... THANK YOOOOOOOOU SOOOOO MUUUUUCH

Another question I have is that does it come with Google play store out the gate or you had to install it? Some other reviews have said this was missing?
Yes, from anbernic selected it will come with the playstore already preinstalled
Yours came with way more games than mine ? Why?
How do you add dlc and updates to 3ds games i have them on working on my pc but idk how to get them to work on this

Any idea how to use the Pokémon chests on this device?
How go u get to okay mario?? I search for it & i dont have it?
Anbernic no longer put mario on their devices. But you can download and put it on yourself
I’ve had 2 and I still can’t get all the games to work on the sd card
My SD card didn’t come with a game cube or PS2 games is there a tutorial showing us how to add them on from the console?

Hello, i wondered does this device allow you to ps remote play ps5 using the ps play app from the play store, thanks
Yes it does. You would need to buy the app from the play store. It cost me £5.99 but its well worth it
@the_yorkshire_gamer7042 whats the performance like, on the small screen, thanks for the quick reply
@KayleighTheBacon surprisingly good, I guess it really depends on your WiFi strength. I've shown me playing God of War Ragnorok on my tiktok livestreams using the app and there's literally no lag. It's basically a tiny screen for your ps5 😁
I found mines at a liquidation store for 9$ and it came with the sd card entrance broken. it is impossible to play games with the internal storage? 🙁
So like… mine came in today and doesn’t have any games ..please help…
Did you buy it with the SD card? This is where the games are. It will also depend if the seller you bought it from provides this service or not.
@@the_yorkshire_gamer7042 yes I do have the sd card
so this comes with the games included
Bit disappointed, no sega cd, Amiga cd32, neogeo cd. I have some sd cards at home from other handhold consoles, guess I can scan these?
As long as you download an android emulator that will play it then you're all good 😊

Are Mario Games pre downloaded and how many games are includef?

How do you add games with this system
Can we upload our own roms into it ?
Yes you can 🥰

Do they come with preloaded sd card with games ??
Yes on the link in the description of this video
I’m still having trouble setting mine up :( I have the 405M pls help
So if I order one of these of the Anbernic site, with the SD card option. The games will be pre-installed on it?
Hey so I saw your question and nobody answered it I just got one and it just arrived and yes the games come on the MicroSD card that I'm aware of like I plug mine in there were games already on it
Yeah I'm good with the 505 cuz I'm old and I like the bigger screen. I wish they wouldn't have cut corners and used metal shell for the 505
I don’t have a game mode on mine.
Does it come pre-installed with the games? Or, do i need the SD card options?
From anbernic selected it comes with 10k games on the sd card
@@the_yorkshire_gamer7042Great, thank you. Last question, how well does it play 3DS games?
@Wide Horizons really well, however it doesn't play them in 3D 😁
You confirmed it can’t charge from any usb c? That’s pretty Shite they that they cheaped out on a 5 cent chip to regulate the voltage/amps.
Probably to strip back some of the cost eh
Which in you opinion is the better device this or the 505?
And is there a better device than them both for handheld gaming and emulation?
If you got small hands rg405m is better to hold instead of the 505 because it has jagged corners performance wise they both the same
If you buy the 505 with the memorycard I believe it's better than running gamma os cause many of the games already came tweaked enough to be played...but maybe I was high...but to me it's not worth the gammaos but you might like it
I can't get any help how do I put the SD card in it
Will it work if I install Amiga Forever Essentials?
Does it come with emulators for Atari 2600, Intellivision, and Colecovision?
Is the usb c video out?
No its not unfortunately. Bit it does support screen casting
Did yours come with an SD card?
Yes it did, mine was already inserted in the device when it arrived. But I've seen a lot of videos where this was separate inside the box
Mine didnt help
How do you save games?
Why is the cable so important? You say if you use a laptop cable it will blow out the battery but a cable is a cable. The part you plug the cable into is what’s
Important. There’s a transformer inside each power brick or anywhere you plug in the usb. What you plug it into is what’s important. The cable is not usually that important.
How do you change the memory card?
Mine doesn't seem to have all the games yours does.
If its from a different seller or a different size sd card then this might explain it
Is it a 480p screen device?
I wish this wasn’t Android only.
I get people like the play store and all that. But for pure retro functionality the various Linux distros and front ends are so, so, so much better than Android.
Thanks!
Can it run games like genshin impact?
Yes you can 😍
So these have the games already in it and you don’t need WiFi to use it?
The games come on the provided sd card. No WiFi required to play the games on the sd card.
