ANBERNIC RG353P Protective Case

Went from the RG351p to this, mainly to haven proper N64 emulation. I like the ergnomics and the screen a lot. On the software side I think a lot will be improved in the future. The stock firmware gives you iffy N64 emulation and 8- and 16 bit games don't run as smoothly as they do on the RG351 somehow. The frame rate just seems a little uneven. Same goes for JELOS. The Android side gives you better N64 emulation and smooth 8- and 16 bit gameplay, but it all feels a bit slapped together. Hoping for good custom firmware in the future!

It does the job and works fine, to hold and protect the RG353P, but there are tiny things. I wouldn't recommend putting anything, except a screen wipe in the top, as the case is very right and you will put pressure on the device, and the ANBERNIC branding, is on the bottom of the case, which is just a shame.

The case has a nice finish and feels decent quality. My RG353P fits in nicely and the elastic strap keeps it in place. Only slight gripe is the case is quite narrow so you can't store much more than the charger cable in there without putting some pressure on the device.

Really enjoy this device, far more sturdy than my RG35XX. Stock firmware is good, having options of others to add ma hones is great. Form factor is really comfortable and small enough to take anywhere. Got case at same time, perfect fit for it.

Great controls, beautiful screen, very compact, amazing battery life, very easy to use Linux stock-firmware and generally speaking, you could use this straight from the box, within seconds.

But I'd recommend you at least replace the supplied memory cards, with better quality branded ones.

And if you have the time, I would also recommend installing JELOS to replace the stock Linux firmware, and also update the Android to the Anbernic released version (although I never use the Android myself).

I have encountered one small issue though.

The Linux boot up, whether the stock firmware or JELOS do not boot up each time you turn it on. Sometimes it takes a "reset" to make it work. Not the worst issue ever, but a small bit frustrating. Unsure if hardware issue or firmware.

This is an excellent handheld and is really good for my key system PSX. However I have been issues getting firmware that works well. JelOS did not support Bluetooth audio or rumble and turning WiFi on and off was erratic. ArkOS appears better but after getting Bluetooth audio working I have been getting more system freezes. I will try stock firmware next. Also I was not sent my colour choice.
