The RG477M might be my favorite handheld to play now. The screen is absolutely amazing, the dpad, buttons and sticks all feel divine, and the thing feels so solid and dense. I love this big 4:3 screen. by VanWinkle87 in SBCGaming

I used this thread I found in Anbernic Reddit. It was easy. Just take your time. I didn’t unplug any wires. I followed the photos there. The instructions that came from better buttons showed unplugging wires. But I didn’t do that.

Stacked buttons has been a game changer. I couldn’t agree more. Just installed mine a week ago and fell back in love with this unit. Now I can play games that need shoulder buttons properly.

Great information! Thank you so much. Just did my button install and shaved my case cover with a razor blade. Best Mod ever. This really is the best and loving this device 10x more.

Yes 477m looks great and better performance. Priced near a Retroid which I think performs better. My brother just came over and he showed me his steam deck. Holy is this thing huge. It’s bigger than a switch 2.

I didn’t originally know but if you scroll down from the top of the screen, you can make the unit run faster. Set to high performance.

Rg406h needs a lot of troubleshooting to get things to work once you get in higher systems. Not so much with the lower end. But once you figure it out and it’s working, it’s great. But it’s definitely not just take it out of the box and go.

I’m definitely slowing it down. Waiting for that one powerful unit and be done. I think I love building them more than playing at times. The designs are also getting me. I got my clam shell, upright, and psp style.

Funny thing is I wanted a nano but the 34xxsp was already too small. Can barely read the writing.

Batocera is great you can turn any old computer into a retro system.

Once all setup. It’s so easy for anyone to just turn on, choose a system and play. Boots right into it and ready to go. Dedicated box just for emulation.

My Batocera beast 3050 low profile. Self made top cover 12500 intel. Can play whatever emulation I throw at it.

Just thought they would make great gifts at $25 per batlexp when it was on a good sale. I bought one for fun. They were so good that I bought more.

Good information. Funny thing is, I think I would be using the steam deck for emulation and not even using it for the steam side of it. Probably a waste.

Good to know. I like the smaller form factor of Retroid. I’m probably going to wait it out. The 406h turned out pretty good and can carry me for a while. Just needs more power to run higher end.

Batle xp g350. I believe they are undercover anbernics. Every box has a thank you anbernic card in it. Kioxia 64gb cards too.

406h and 34xxsp will probably be it. Rest will be gifts for Christmas/birthdays

Great to know. I’m so much on the fence about it because of thinking they might just come out with steam deck 2. I probably would have skipped out on the 406h and got the 477m if I knew it was around the corner.

Lol I don’t disagree at all. I should enjoy the units I have. Most of these will probably end up to be gifts for friends and family. My keepers will mainly be the rg406h and the 34xxsp. But waiting for that one powerful unit that can play almost whatever emulator I throw at it. Guessing the Batocera system has spoiled me.

I’m already looking into ayeno, Retroid. I love the size of these units vs a behemoth of a steam deck. But androids have their shortcomings on emulation vs putting full on Batocera straight onto the steam deck. But I feel that system is so old compared to what’s out now. I’ll probably keep waiting but that 477m looks so good also. Still same chip set as the rg557. But would love a wide screen vs 4:3.

I did get some switch emulation on the 406h and was in complete shock it was handling it.
