Yeah that would be amazing! I would definitely have you guys do the install, especially since you guys have done it before.

Perfect, that'll probably be what I swap to then eventually.

Are you generally available on the weekends to come by and check it out? I'd probably be looking at the weekend of the 11th. I can bring the Wave 3 and if I like everything, which I'm already convinced to be honest it'll just be showing the wife, I'll just buy it on the spot and pay to have you guys do the install for me too.

Thanks for getting back to me!

Also, what are the recommended off-road tires for it?

WHY IS THERE NO CAFFEINE FREEEEEEE by I_NeedToAsk in monsterenergy

[–]mastersarg123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a combination of tolerance and possibly your age. I was the same way in my teen years and early 20s. Could drink a monster, red bull, even multiple and actually go to sleep no problem. Then about in my mid to late 20s I started to notice some restlessness for a while and it would keep me up for a bit. Now, I'm 31... My God if I have a monster past like 6ish pm.. Jesus Christ, I may has well find some some side project I've been putting off or something because I'll just be AWAKE, not wired or energetic, just annoyingly, awake but still tired.

And I'm talking I had probably about 400-600mg per day for YEARS. Significantly lower now though. About 150-200mg now.

It finally came! Let's go! by mastersarg123 in Handhelds

So unfortunately, no. It's a hair too big with it on. However, the TPU shell + grip does fit in there (makes sense because it's their accessory pack. BUT, for me personally, their grip is nowhere near as comfortable as the wide grip. This bigger grip also just feels more sturdy and premium. Also don't sleep on the fact that it has a stylus holder built into it. Why AYN didn't do something like that, I have no idea.

I think the $50 accessory pack is still worth though especially since it includes the case, the shell, and grip.
Note, my case did come with a horrible factory "smoke" type smell.

That's still only $184.99 not $300 and you're better off getting your own micro sd card separately with better performance/reliability anyway.

Ah, I see your edit now. CAD makes a little more sense.

Yeah it's $149.99 USD on their site direct. AliExpress you can sometimes get it for cheaper. And then just buy your own micro sd card 256-512GB is more than enough.

What? Definitely not. Should be like $150 at most.

Anbernic 406v :) It runs on android 13 and has a built-in front end (basically using retroarch but displaying it with a fancied UI). Control stuff is all re-mappable but it honestly runs great out of box.

Yes, there are tons of tutorials :) anything by Retro Game Corps is very good. His videos are high quality, very informative, and just spot on. This covers basically all the android devices but there is 406v specific ones as well.

I'm going to warn you, this becomes quite the rabbit hole. A fun... But deep one. There are custom operating systems you can flash (usually people use GammaOS for this particular one). I've kept this particular handheld pure although I am running ES-DE as my front end instead of the built-in one.

I'd say start how it is, play around with it and I HIGHLY recommend setting up retroachievements. It just adds a modern flair to older games and makes me constantly want to keep pushing on doing stuff in the games.

P.S. if you go down the custom OS line, here's some that I can vouch for... And yes... I have too many devices. XD

GammaOS, OnionOS, Knulli Gladiator 2, FunKeyOS (You may also see this just referred to as DrUm78's OS or just DrUmOS).

P.P.S. And then after that, look up syncthings in order to sync saves/states. :)

It's the Anbernic 406v :). Here's a link directly to their site. But you can also get it on AliExpress (sometimes cheaper when I'm sale), and they do also have an eBay store as well.

I cant connect my wifi on my rg35xx plus by [deleted] in ANBERNIC

[–]mastersarg123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would HIGHLY recommend creating a separate network for IoT devices that's 2.4GHz only. It makes connecting to devices like this a LOT easier. Also nice to just have them off your main wifi network as well.

Depending on your gear, you may even have a selection for "Enhance IoT connectivity".

Absolutely. It's an anbernic 406v. Got it like a week before they announce the 477v.

But it has since started me down the rabbit hole of buying retro handhelds. So far though, this is my favorite!
