The Anbernic RG351V has been out for over a year now and it's become one of my most cherished gaming devices. From enjoying childhood classics to playing modern ports, this device never ceases to amaze.
If you'd like to purchase one for yourself there are many places to pick one up. I believe mine was purchased from banggood but here's a link to the official Anbernic website.

You might need help setting this thing up so take a look at this starter guide by Retro Game Corps

I use two sd cards, one running arkos for n64/dc/ps1/nds and one with amber elec for gb and psp. Pretty much eveything works perfectly this way.
DUDE THIS COMMENT. THATS HUGE INFO THATS GONNA SAVE ME A BIT OF TIME THANK YOU SO MUCH
@@charleslobster3592 Glad I could help man!
for me the best handheld to date!!!
i just love this little gadget so much :)
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!

This kinda makes me want to find my old hacked PSP Go! IMO it feels wrong to emulate a lot of the older games on the Steam Deck. Might have to pick this up too tho. Thanks!
Hi, i dont find the SpaceCadetPinball Rom for RG351V 😢 Where can i find this and on how Emulator have you playd it on the RG351V?! Please help me! ❤
You'll need to install it as a port from portmaster. I believe RetroGameCorps has a tutorial on how to get portmaster up and running. You'll need to provide some of your own game files, here's a link on what you need github.com/christianhaitian/PortMaster/wiki#space-cadet-pinball
If you google around it shouldn't be hard at all to track down those files. I would just google something like "Space Cadet Pinball PINBALL.DAT files"
Thank god for eBay. A quick search can grant you a 128gb card fully loaded with 12,000+ games for many systems and arcades. I am not tech at all. Just an old school dude who loves old school ish. In total I probably spent about $200 to get this thing like a plug and play. Well worth the price to me. There’s more games on this than I will ever be able to check out.
Don't get this one a lot of issues
Yeah, we’ll is it as good as THE WRIST GAME!!!!!!
Honestly, I'd recommend getting a Retroid Pocket 2S that's either just come out, or is about to. I personally have a Retroid Pocket 2+, not a 2S. But the 2S is essentially a 2+, but better. Better sticks, better triggers, a couple extra front buttons and stuff.
The Pocket 2+ can run up to PS1 and Dreamcast really well. I'm actually surprised how well it runs Dreamcast, Atomiswave, and Naomi especially. They run damn near perfect. Even fully 3D Naomi games run great. PS1 runs really well too. Full on Arcade games run great, as long as you're not trying to run say, Tekken 3's arcade version. It can actually run Tekken 1 fine, but anything past that is laggy. But pretty much any 2D Arcade game you can think of, runs really well. N64 runs well too for the most part. Some slowdown in the obvious games like Goldeneye, and Perfect Dark, but otherwise it's fine. I wouldn't recommend it for PSP, but if this can run PSP, the Retroid should be able to run the same, if not slightly more. And DS works great too, thought due to only having one screen, you'll need to have a button set to swap between screens, and heavy touch-screen games probably won't be super playable. Stuff like Pokemon would work fine though.
As for the device itself. The 2+'s right stick absolutely blows. It's a crappy little slider stick like the 3DS has, but worse. The 2S though, fixes that by having a legit stick. And both sticks on the 2S are Hall Effect sticks, so no drift. The screen is 640x480, 4:3. Pretty much the same as the one in this video, and it looks great. It's also a touch screen. It runs Android, which will turn some people off, but personally I like it. It means I can do all my emulation, and also have android apps and some android games. Plus I can just use a frontend like Reset Collection or Daijisho (my personal pick), to select my games and stuff. Essentially being the same kinda deal as the game selection menus on the one in the video. The actual console itself feels great to hold. All the buttons feel nice, they're in a nice spot, and feel good in your hand. The plastic itself is, well, plastic. But it has a nice feeling to it, almost like an old DMG Game Boy plastic.
I haven't timed the battery life on the 2+, so I can't really talk about that. But I've never had it really die on me as long as I remember to charge it when I'm not using it, and remember not to just leave it on with FTP and stuff running in the background. And I don't know if the 2S upgraded the battery or not.
Now, the Retroid Pocket 2S is a horizontal handheld, like the original GBA. Not vertical like the video. But, it's still really comfortable to hold.
There IS also the Retroid Pocket 3+ and the Retroid Flip (which is just a 3+, in a clamshell). Those are ever so slightly more powerful, but also cost more. The Retroid Pocket 2S is $99, plus tax and shipping. Which, to be honest, is a great price for a handheld that can run up to PS1, Dreamcast, Arcade games, and DS with no issues. Along with being able to run Android apps and games.
I just placed my order so I'm hoping for the best everything I've seen a out it looks amazing
Just picked up 2 for my son and I. I need to figure out how to set up another card and how and where to get games on it.. just liked/subd/commented 😂
Setting up the card should be easy. The RUclips channel RetroGameCorps has you covered on that end.
Getting the games is a different topic. I have my own collection of roms but if you don't, or at least don't know where to start, I'd recommend going on Reddit and checking out the top post of all time on r/anbernic.
Also I love my rg351v in Grey, reminds me of a gameboy. Only issue I have had is it makes a slight noise on start up... sounds like a quiet pop. But then its fine.
I need one one! My Steam Deck I like playing games that aren't portable anywhere else, my miyoo mini is cool and all but the 351V looks like a sweet spot! Seems like we're in a similar boat!
Imho the 351v > the miyoo mini everytime its just built so much better and is so much more ergonomic
Can i just delete games and whole platforms from the stock game card? Ive added a few games i wanted and that worked easy enough. Just wondering if i can delete games from the card. And can i just delete the Coleco folder?
I'm sure it'll be fine to just delete them. You can copy the folders onto your pc to be safe then delete what you don't want on the micro SD card and see if that has any negative impact but it should be fine
Any of these kinds of things that come with roms on an sd card, you can delete any games you want and add your own. Though, to be honest, I'd definitely recommend just getting a whole new SD card. I can't imagine the one it comes with is very good or reliable. Wouldn't wanna find out a couple months down the road that the SD card died and all your stuff is gone.
ive got this rg351v but my psp stuff all runs slow i currently use ARKos any suggestions to make psp run better thanks in advance
Nice video - Good call out on the over-heat light bleed issue, I get the same problem with mine. Guess it's a small price to pay for having all those systems and games in your pocket!
It’s amazing but I have just one problem I don’t know how to save games pls help me I wanna save my games but I just can’t because I don’t know 😪🙏🙏
I don't understand how you don't have more subs man, this was a great video! I subbed, and look forward to watching more great videos from you! Thanks 👍
When I saw the 351v in the black translucent plastic I fell in love. I add more and more games from my childhood, setting it up to be a snapshot of my youth. I love it so much I'm thinking about getting another one just because after so often it'll probably take a crap and they won't be manufacturing them forever.
I got myself a decent case for it and it super pocketable.
9:06 what game is that? Anyone can let me know please?
The wood casing looks nice
Loco roco and lumens looks like awesome tip, tnx much!
What Emulation Station theme are you using?
I also like such tiny device, now I'm waiting for GPD WIN MAX 2
Do you know how to transfer the stock bios to another SD? The info from retro game core is not relevant. My device didn't come with those files he is talking about.
Mine didn't come with the stock BIOS either. From what I remember I just had to get a BIOS pack online. Google "retroarch bios pack" and one of the first results should be from archive.org then that should have what you need.
What are you running space cadet pinball on? I’ve been looking to get that running since my rg351v arrived last week. Thanks!
I believe that's installed as a port through portmaster. You'll have to install some files through portmaster and there will be some files you have to add yourself but if you google around they shouldn't be hard to find. I would just google something like "Space Cadet Pinball PINBALL.DAT files". Here's a link to instructions on what files you need github.com/christianhaitian/PortMaster/wiki#space-cadet-pinball
Just purchased the “wood” one
Anyone know the difference between this model and the rg353V?
As far as I know the 353V is slightly more powerful, has two analog sticks, and can boot into Linux or Android.
I ordered this device twice, and BOTH times it came shipped from China loose in a box, with the lid popped off and the system just bouncing around inside a much larger box (with no additional packaging). The first time I returned it I said "what the hell guys? Just crumple up a piece of paper so this thing isn't bouncing around on its way across the ocean! How hard is that?"
The second time I returned it I said "OK, you can't learn from the fact that I returned it the first time? Well then, buh-bye." (Both times I ordered directly from Anbernic, via Amazon.)
Eventually I bought a used version, because I didn't want to give any money directly to that company, but I did really like the form factor and aesthetics of this device, and I think the IPS screen is superb for systems like Sega CD. But I wanted to mention my experiences as a warning to anyone who tries to purchase from Anbernic directly.
Wow. I heard their customer service was crap but that's just pathetic of them. Mine was purchased from banggood since they had the cheapest price at the time. Took maybe 3 weeks to arrive but thankfully it was packaged properly. Not saying everyone will get that experience though, there's always a risk for some dumb reason.
@@the_new_challenger Thanks for responding. Just as an update, the one I eventually got has a dead pixel, so their internal QA might not be the best either. (Can't make a definitive judgment based on one person's experiences, but man, this is three strikes in only three pitches...)
Worth the investment
what's the best OS to maximize PSP emulation performance? 351elec / ArkOS / anything else?
I know they still won't work perfectly, but I just want to know which firmware runs it best.
And which firmware can run ports like stardew valley or shovel knight?
Back when I received my device and I was setting it up, I belive Batocera or ArkOS had better PSP emulation. Several things have been updated since and it looks like you'll get similar PSP performance amongst all the popular OS's. Here's a more in depth guide from RetroGameCorps
retrogamecorps.com/2021/01/17/psp-guide-for-rg351-devices/
And as long as the firmware supports Anberports/Portmaster then it will run games like Stardew Valley and Shovel Knight. You can set those up on ArkOS and 351/amberelec for example
@@the_new_challenger Thank you 👍
351 elec is better for psp
Arkos for n64 and dreamcast
Amberelec >>>> Its much lighter and more functional than arkos, jelOS was good for a min as a super light option but it was a bit mediocre at the time I swapped
Runs good on mine on ArkOS
I can’t get ports in my systems displayed????
What is the game at 9:04 ?
It looks like Freedom Planet. A Sonic clone, though I don't know how he's playing it unless he's streaming from his PC or something. It's a PC and Wii U game.
Love your comment on how compelled you are to get a Miyoo Mini.
Same here after getting the RG351v, I felt the need to get more of these devices even though I have other powerful devices
Good video. Very informative.
Steam Deck and small backpack. You can take it everywhere even with charging cable. Best small gaming device.
Too big way more expensive
@@Unclean_Official if this is to big i stick with an high end smartphone...
@@IIXxSLAYERxXII I hate phones so much haha
@@Unclean_Official lost lol
What pokemon game is that at 5:36 ?
That's Pokémon Unbound. A Rom hack of Fire red
@@the_new_challenger thank you sir. Im seriusly considering this device. But most reviews said its quite incomfortable to play for long session. What do u think?
@@burhanmustafar7674 Everyone's a little different in that regard. For me personally, I haven't had any issues with the ergonomics while playing for long sessions. Of course there's more horizontal oriented devices if you think comfort might be an issue such as the 351mp or retroid pocket devices. There's also a grip for the 351v that you can either 3d print or buy online. I was going to show it off in the video but my 3d printer has been broken for the past few months and I've been too lazy to fix it.
@@the_new_challenger yeah but the 3d printed grip will take away the nostalgic handheld feeling of it. Btw great review bro 👍🏻 really help me to make the decision
@@the_new_challenger following up to this, is the device capable of playing most of the pokemon rom hacks or fan made game out there i.e pokemon pheonix rising or insurgence?
Rg351v is very very over rated, I regretted buy this BS. None of the games are enjoyable, the only console i found playing well, was sega mega drive. And this thing is so difficult to maintain and customize
You will enjoy it more if you add games that you like. I agree about the Operating System, it's not intuitive at all.
Hello how do I add all the emulators?
Is there Cp1 cp2 cp3
Yup!
Just got mine today, can’t wait to customize it! What firmware are you running? Love the menu layout!!
Amberelec. There was a recent update for it too but I haven't gotten around to installing it yet
@@the_new_challenger sweet! Was it hard to do? I’m completely new to this, I already bought 2 new memory cards. Hopefully I’ll be able to make it as clean as this because the stock menu layout kinda sucks lol
@@cobrarx2 Not hard at all. Just follow the guide from RetroGameCorps and you'll be fine. There's a few different themes and other customizations you can play with
Will do, thank you so much! Where’s the best place to download like a whole set for each console?
@@cobrarx2 There used to be a really great post on Reddit. It seems like it's gone now unfortunately so I don't really know. You'll have to google a bit I'm afraid
