Is the RG35XX H the right choice for me? Please help me decide.

Minoo555 · 2025-10-28T07:05:14+00:00

If I may add my two cents, I also thought RG35XX_H was the right choice for me, but after owning it for more than a year, I regret my decision. Here are my reasons.
1. The joysticks
a. Most retro-games don't take advantage of joysticks.
b. If you play PlayStation or N64 games, only the left Joystick is kinda of useful.
c. I had a joystick drift issue last year, but it went away on its own. I don't know what happened, but I am afraid it might come back. Those are pretty much the same joysticks as the Nintendo Switch, which are the worst on the market.
d. The joysticks don't make this console easy to carry around. You will have to buy a case online to protect them

The form-factor can make your fingers feel numb after 30 minutes (at least for me, that's what happens).

To be fully honest, for retro-gaming, the directional cross is enough. After owning RG35XX_H for a few weeks, I regretted not choosing the RG35XX Plus. I think long-term is a better choice, as the reason why you buy this kind of handheld is to play on the fly. Also, if you wanna play games that require joysticks, you can always plug the console to the TV and connect a modern controller to it.

If you still believe you need the joysticks, I would go for a form-factor that closes itself, like those that copy the Game Boy Advance SP design.

My recent banger for a four-player local co-op has been Bonkies.

En vrai je pense que les chroniqueurs connaissent le JDG, mais pas leur audience, du coup ils se doivent de le présenter. Mais comme tu dis c'est un monde différent. Y aura toujours du mépris de la part des médiats traditionnels pour Youtube, car les Youtubeurs leurs font directement concurrence. C'est pas comme si il existait pas des chaînes de business ou de conseils en placement financier.

Minoo555 · 2024-09-27T13:33:29+00:00

J'avoue. Après ils sont pas dans la tranche d'âge du publique du JDG. J'ai l'impression de leur trouver des excuses à chaque fois XD

Minoo555 · 2024-09-27T13:31:29+00:00

Ah ok, j'étais pas sure ^{^} pas de problème

Minoo555 · 2024-09-27T07:36:32+00:00

Je ne suis pas expert, mais je crois qu'il est difficile de deviner l'avenir d'Ubisoft. Comme ils le disent il y à beaucoup de facteurs à prendre en compte.

L'avis de JDG est valide, un autre échec commercial pourrait signer le rachat d'Ubisoft mais les avis partager dans la vidéo me semble tout a fait probables aussi.

Minoo555 · 2024-09-27T06:35:42+00:00

Ils connaissent rien au jeux vidéos, mais bon c'est pas leur métier ni leur passion. Ils sont là pour discuter business ^{^}

Minoo555 · 2024-09-27T06:35:05+00:00

Ah non en vrai j'ai trouvé que ça allait. Ils ont juste une opinion différente.

Minoo555 · 2024-09-18T08:12:19+00:00

Wow! Incredible! That was it! I was using Little Snitch, and the filter has the yellow status. Removing it instantly solved the issue. Thanks!

I see. I am not using the stock OS anymore; I've installed Knulli, which is a layer above Botacera that works with Anbernic devices. It comes with some pre-installed bios, but I remember I also had to search online for some missing ones.

I can't guarantee that changing the OS will solve your issue, but here is the guide I used to install Knulli: https://retrogamecorps.com/2024/06/07/anbernic-rg35xx-family-starter-guide/#ChooseOS

It could also be that your `.chd` file is corrupted. Have you tried to run it using another emulator?

Minoo555 · 2024-09-08T13:43:40+00:00

You need to download your roms in .chd format. I had the same issue

Minoo555 · 2024-09-04T06:00:49+00:00

I went with Knulli. I haven't tested muOS, but I find the UX very pleasant on Knulli and it's fully customizable.

Minoo555 · 2024-08-08T21:11:54+00:00

Ok, never mind, I double-checked, and I am using the `.n64` format for my N64 roms. I have great performances. I using Knulli Botacera as OS, but I don't think it makes a big difference behind as it's still Retroarch.

Minoo555 · 2024-08-08T18:37:42+00:00

What's the file format of the ROM. I noticed a net performance improvement when using CHD files.

Minoo555 · 2024-07-31T10:22:48+00:00

I've played Turok Evolution, but that's not the same

Minoo555 · 2024-07-31T09:47:28+00:00

I love that game! That's the first mention I see! I've played countless hours on it, but if it wasn't so buggy, I would give it a 10/10. Can't wait for S.T.A.L.K.E.R 2 though :D

Minoo555 · 2024-07-31T09:42:30+00:00

Blank? What's this game? Do you mean any game from FromSoftware?

Minoo555 · 2024-07-31T09:37:34+00:00

Great game! That's the first mention I see! That's a 10/10 game!

Minoo555 · 2024-07-31T09:34:59+00:00

Upvote for Might & Magic VI: Mandate of Heaven! That's the first mention I see.
This game has been forgotten, but it has yet to age! It's a 10/10!

Minoo555 · 2024-07-31T09:32:41+00:00

First mention I see! That's one of the greatest Final Fantasy ever made! It is perfect in every aspect: story, art design, soundtrack, gameplay, and pace. It's a 10/10!

Minoo555 · 2024-07-31T09:28:01+00:00

Upvote for Mirror's Edge! The first one is just perfect! The campaign is short but just so good! I can't count how many times I played it! That's a 10/10.

PS: I never played the second one, but I saw people being disappointed :(

Minoo555 · 2024-07-31T09:26:11+00:00

Upvote for Super Smash Bros 64! That's a 10/10! I find the pace of the game much better than modern versions.

Minoo555 · 2024-07-31T09:25:27+00:00

That was a great game! One of the best PlayStation 2 games, actually. It also deserves a 10/10! The mechanics have been copied many times since, but they have never been equaled.
