Description

The RG35XX is an amazing budget retro gaming handheld that plays many of your favourite classic consoles.

The RG35XX features the Actions ATM7039S quad core processor running up to 1.6GHz with a quad core PowerVR SGX544MP GPU. Combined they provide enough performance for all 4th generation gaming consoles and some newer ones. The retro gaming handheld comes with 256MB DDR3 RAM which is more than enough for the OS and emulator for the gaming consoles it supports.

The 3.5” IPS display runs at a 640×480 resolution at 4:3 aspect ratio which is perfect for retro gaming. The RG35XX display looks bright and colourful and not so small it is hard to see any detail. HDMI output to a monitor or TV is supported via the Mini HDMI port found on the top of the retro gaming handheld, it also upscales your games to 720P on your big screen.

There is an included 64GB Micro SD card with the RG35XX which contains the Linux based operating system and game storage. A second Micro SD card up to 512GB can be used for additional game storage on the retro gaming handheld. The RG35XX now also supports dual OS, allowing you to either use the official OS or GarlicOS

The RG35XX retro gaming handheld has a classic style D-Pad with the standard gaming buttons. On the back on the handheld are four additional buttons which can be used in supported emulators.

There are sixteen classic gaming systems supported on the RG35XX retro gaming handheld. You can relive or discover amazing games up to the fourth generation of consoles, also including Arcade and PS1.

Measuring only 3.18 x 4.6 x 0.7 inches (8.1 x 11.7 x 2.0 cm) and weighing just 165g, the RG35XX is very light and portable, fitting into a pocket or small bag. With the 2600mAh rechargeable battery inside the retro gaming handheld you get up to 5 hours battery life depending on the emulator you are playing.

Great value little games machine

Very good value for money. Plays all the retro games I was hoping for comfortably from old school arcade to gen 1 playstation.
Great screen and portable/ pocket friendly size.
Mini HDMI to play on TV works well.
My only minor gripe is the D-Pad. Thought it would be a little better.

Perfect for Purists Who Want a Cute Emulation Device

While I don't consider myself a purist, I would say that I'm pickier than the average joe who just wants to play Mario on the go. I try to play on real hardware whenever I can, I recently moved to the UK so I had to leave a lot of my retro stuff behind. I still have my GBA and Dreamcast, but my NES, SNES, Mega Drive, PSX, all that couldn't come with me. The RG35XX appealed to me because it can emulate those systems flawlessly, and it can do that while being in the form factor of a slightly smaller Game Boy Pocket (which is my favorite GB revision).

If it's so great then, why only 4 stars? Well, this isn't really the devices fault, but there's a few things new buyers should know, specifically people who plan on tinkering with this thing to get it just right.
1. The stock OS is bad, stretches' games and doesn't run well overall. This can be remedied by GarlicOS or MinUI, but...
2. GarlicOS doesn't seem to work on the most recent motherboard revision, it doesn't work on mine and I bought from DroiX FYI. MinUI works great, but doesn't give you as many options as Garlic does, which
is a bummer for someone who has goldilocks syndrome when it comes to emulation lol.
3. Don't use any other charging cable besides the one it comes with, Chinese products are known for having power issues, it even says on the back of the system "Only use certified charger, the battery may explode in a fire".
The device doesn't come with its own power brick, but going off of what others have said online, you'll want a 5.0 V 1.0, I had a basic Amazon one which seems to fit that description, but again, your mileage may very, just be careful and do your research.

All-in-all, it's a great device, love the form factor, the buttons feel good to mash, beautiful screen, and it plays pretty much anything 8 bit to some 32 bit I've thrown at it. I recommend it for those who want to play Game Boy and GBC and don't wanna shell out 200 quid for a modded IPS GBC.

Smooth service and the console has hours of retro fun already. Getting used to the retroarch and the settings will take time but works a treat.

Two handhelds

The whole process was really easy, and the product arrived really fast. Had the pleasure to deal with customer service, and i mean that without any sarcasm. Emil was super helpful and I got exactly what I wanted. Cannot recommend enough.

Honestly I was a bit worried as to how a device like this would feel in my hands and if it would feel cheap but I'm so happy to say I am thoroughly impressed!

The device runs all games I have tried so far flawlessly. I installed garlic OS as most people recommend (it was only a struggle cos each file to go on is split into 2 parts now which are both needed to extract).

This is an amazing first entry into the retro handheld scene and I highly recommend it!
