Just got this bad boy yesterday and I’m like a kid at Christmas! 😄 The delight I felt firing up my old love, Desert Strike… Goosebumps! Seriously impressed with this bit of kit, and I’m enjoying exploring the options as much as the many many games! The effort put in by the community with GarlicOS and the ROM packs is simply magnificent.
We still need to migrate the RG35XX subreddit to Lemmy!
Speaking of which, I’d love to have a version of r/SBCgaming in here. The incoming RK3588 devices will be incredible.
Congrats! What’s the name of the hardware?
Pretty sure it’s the RG35XX? Right?
Seems pretty cheap, and the top seller I see in Google is temu which just gives me sus vibes
Get it from Amazon if you are going to buy one. Anbernic is in China so their customer support on a $70-80 device is barebones to non existent.
It’s a well-known device/brand in the retro gaming community. You can also buy it direct from anbernic
Chinese, no thanks.
Just because it’s Chinese doesn’t mean it’s no good. I have several of Anbernic’s devices and they’re wonderful.
Half the shit you own was made in China lol
There’s a difference between “made in China” and “made by China”. But keep supporting your oppressive regimes and see where that gets you.
Despite the literal mountains of shit that has come out of China, they are capable of making some nice things.
The RG35XX hit the right spot of having “good enough” hardware at a low price. It’s been a smash success.
If you look at something like the RG353M, it costs more than twice as much as the RG35XX, is a little faster, but its design feels ultra premium like something Samsung or even Apple would make. It’s compact, metal, and has quite a bit of heft.
