Anbernic RG35XX Pro

[vestal tiger]

this is a pretty good bang for your buck lol

50 bucks w a h700 chip and dual sticks

better than the mm+

[random fiber]

The only problem is everyone in this hobby has bought a similar device already. Hard to sell unless your new to the hobby.

[vestal tiger]

yeah

[spare stirrup]

having similar devices never stopped any of us

[vestal tiger]

the teal and white colors look good though

[fresh knot]

Let's address the giant ugly elephant in the room... That plain ass white PCB is so horrible.. too many sake bombers while creating that build?

[vestal tiger]

its way too white

if it was like the trimui brick with grayish button it would be better

[fresh knot]

They could have done a standard pcb green and it would've looked better

[vestal tiger]

i liked the green from the 35xxsp

[fresh knot]

I meant just the PCB.. if it were green it would probably "blend in" a lot better

[vestal tiger]

Yeah instead of black and white all the time

[sleek urchin]

Only realized now that it has no headphone jack

[manic briar]

nope, it has one on the top left

[sleek urchin]

How the hell did I get that wrong

[vocal otter]

The G350 also has it on the top left..

[manic briar]

I have 2

[sleek urchin]

Do you have the G350 to compare?

[static terrace]

Funny this has an embargo when we all know exactly what this is.Nothing new in the slightest nice price but it's not going to supercede anything I already have.

[manic briar]

we're only allowed to post images until 10th

I do have the g350 though

[crude cobalt]

Here is the headphone jack in their unboxing video. same speaker on the bottom, just like the g350. haha.

[summer bolt]

I want the teal 35xx pro for no reason other than to match the baja blast Deck I picked up the other day from marketplace. Already have an SP and MM+, would have preferred a 2.8” size device with this color

[fresh knot]

Has anyone tried GameCube on this? I know it's possible on other xx devices but way too sluggish to play most games... If this has "more ram", then it should be an improvement

[manic briar]

this has 1GB

[fresh knot]

Are they going to release a 2gb version? Because there's no other reason to call it pro lol

That's a shame

Another misleading name for the same device..

[neat portal]

Well to be fair the design of the back button is much better than it was in the original 35xx+

But yeah not so as "pro" but more like "++"

[fresh knot]

Or 35xx+ 2.0

😂

Or better yet.. should've been BatleXP G350 pro

Or g350xx

[neat portal]

Definitely lol it would've been a much bigger leap from the 35xx+

[sleek urchin]

what's the ram requirement about?

[neat portal]

I'm pretty sure it's for ports mostly

[manic briar]

https://anbernic.com/products/rg35xxpro

44.99 confirmed

[brisk phoenix]

Pretty neat

[normal condor]

Sounds great for me!

I bought my "R36S" at a electronics store at 300.000 COP if I remember correctly

[gray nebula]

This is one device I don't care about in any way. If it had the 2GB of RAM, maybe, but just sticks... meh

[random fiber]

Off topic but damn those currency's digits are super long lol. Cashiers must get annoyed.

[still heron]

How do you make change for that? 0.45 peso colombiano must be such a small amount, do people carry that change around?

[amber shuttle]

They might not do fractional pesos at all

[still sleet]

For a moment there i thought you had a grey version of the pro 😅

[spare stirrup]

That transparent green looks sweet

I wish none of those had colored button lettering though

[manic briar]

it's meant to be teal but tbh it is more green to my eyes too

[barren nexus]

Those colors are real nice. 👀 Always a sucker for transparent things

[summer bolt]

Same, I actually wish most of these manufacturers printed no legends on abxy, similar to the unmarked pocket s editions

[spare stirrup]

This thing is gonna be a great deal, the go to option around $40 was the r36s for the longest time

Now for $45 we get an actually solid dpad and face buttons, wifi, bt, video out, a significantly better chip, and usable shoulder buttons

Will likely go as low as $30-35 during sales

Tonight at 3am Pacifc (likely around 12am on AliExpress as is tradition)

[amber shuttle]

I can't believe they're charging less for this than the 35xx+

[quasi summit]

I mean you get the 35xx+ for 40bucks flat on Ali all the time

[azure crag]

Throwback to when we had the 35XX, 35XX (2024), and 35XX+

[spare stirrup]

This is pretty much the final evolution of the modern game boy

Cheap, great controls, great screen, great software, good battery life

[summer bolt]

Until they release the 40XX Pro

[azure crag]

The final Gameboy has an H700

[spare stirrup]

It's fast enough for all the systems that are good on 3.5" screens

[azure crag]

I'm still a proponent for the 353V even now lol

[spare stirrup]

40xxv with two sticks and a dmg colorway? Sign me up

[summer bolt]

If they get it done and use the same teal transparent shell color here it will be nearly perfect. Only other thing I would pay more for is to allow c-c charging and usb-c dp alt video out. Keep the h700 and bump to 2gb ram. Use the same 4” display as 406h though with the higher res for some nice integer scaling, with touchscreen

[spare stirrup]

Actually I would rather see an A527 and have it priced around $70

[summer bolt]

Never had 35xx verticals, i do have v1 sp.. but how clacky / loud are the buttons and triggers on this Pro? I want something quiet. Also, is it very bright for outdoor play and dim enough for nighttime play?

[spare stirrup]

The A527 isn't perfect but I hope it directly replaces the h700

It's inching ever closer to gamecube/ps2 territory, and some games are starting to be playable

[summer bolt]

Nice never seen performance of that chip but sounds good

[spare stirrup]

Think RK3566 with a much faster gpu

[ionic fossil]

It gets decently bright but not the best for outdoors in direct sunlight. About the same as your SP.

Great for in bed though! Nice and dim.

[spare stirrup]

Imagine going anywhere with handhelds

Am I the only one who exclusively plays them at home

[summer bolt]

Thanks for that, also is button noise to a minimum? My SP is too annoying to play next to a sleeping wife lol

[spare stirrup]

If the buttons are the same as my 40xxv they'll still be pretty clicky despite being rubber membrane

[summer bolt]

I think most just play at home. I travel via train a lot to work so these small handhelds travel with me often

[summer bolt]

Ugh that would be such a deal breaker for me

[ionic fossil]

Same as G350 and other budget anbernics with rubber membranes, soft and mushy. Quiet. Not like the SP;

Shoulders quietly clicky.

[spare stirrup]

Not clicky in the same way as the sp

[ionic fossil]

The 35xx Pro is great in bed

[brisk phoenix]

Why? In some videos of Helegaly pi and E6 max, A527 seems has heat issue. I personally love H700 because it runs cool.

[ionic fossil]

Do not take that sentence out of context

[spare stirrup]

Too late

[spare stirrup]

I'm a strong proponent of taking your handheld out to dinner first

[quasi summit]

the final gameboy is called Ayaneo Pocket DMG

[spare stirrup]

Price is a huge factor in what makes a handheld good

[summer bolt]

Yeah that’s a powerhouse but I just want a chip with power limited to Dpad games. I don’t need all my library on something I want pretty focused for 32-bit games lol

Great if you can afford to have it though, I think $100 is the most I want to spend for a vertical these days

[spare stirrup]

The game boy didn't sell 100 million units because it was good, only because it was cheap and good enough

[azure crag]

https://tenor.com/view/huh-cat-huh-m4rtin-huh-huh-meme-what-cat-gif-5834484041415217257

[quasi summit]

sure, the more price conscious people should go for the RP Classic, which at $129 is a very good device, spending $400+ on the Pocket DMG is meanwhile quite insane, but damn it's so comfortable to hold 😩

[rancid bramble]

what if it's something like the gkd mini plus

analog attachment optional

[spare stirrup]

The problem with the rp classic is that it's too big for its britches

You can get a very solid device for gb/gbc for under $50, and in the $130-150 price range, you can get devices with sticks that can play way more stuff

[warm sequoia]

whats pro about this device over the RG35xx+?

[coral pine]

Only the sticks (and maybe a bit better screen)

[warm sequoia]

.....

skip

thanks for that

[neat portal]

Nothing aside from sticks and slightly better back trigger design

[ionic fossil]

Ban has an impressions vid out tomorrow, and Rob and I will be hosting a livestream if anyone has any questions. We hope to figure out why it's "Pro" at a minimum

Sometime late afternoon Pacific for the stream, will post details tomorrow.

[azure crag]

The answer is "Maybe"

[ionic fossil]

Speaking of Ban...

First Impressions: https://retrohandhelds.gg/anbernic-rg35xx-pro-first-impressions/

[vestal tiger]

same same

[vestal tiger]

i cant lie the pro looks cool

[still heron]

Hows the H700 for n64?

[vestal tiger]

not good

[quasi summit]

now you are exaggerating, it plays some games as badly as the original hardware

[ionic fossil]

BAN TIME

https://youtu.be/Ax1nCgCHIHI

[ionic fossil]

And our livestream will be at 4:30pm Pacific

If you have any questions that haven't been answered, let me know here or in live chat later, but I know there probably aren't a lot of unknowns here.

[normal condor]

I feel like that it should have its own thread on the Anbernic devices channel now.

[ionic fossil]

Yeah it will once people get it in hands

Live review with @slim stump @lunar jetty featuring Knulli, MuOS & Rocknix 🍻.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pGb3A9_VHQU

[trim gazelle]

I know it's good but It could be so much better with a new chip

[distant pendant]

Some countries used to have fractions but now those fractions are irrelevant because they're worth nothing

[sleek urchin]

Question: G350 and XXPRO, swap their shells. Can it be done?

[manic briar]

the top holes are different

g350 doesn't have hdmi out

[quasi summit]

I mean, one could fix that by cutting a hole for the HDMI, but the USB-C won't line up either so ehhhh

[vestal tiger]

ehhh

ion dig the black buttons on the transparent teal

if it was white like the g350 pink it would look pretty cool

[cloud quail]

i guess they ran out of the kioxia cards

[brisk phoenix]

They forgot to print the logo 😭

[manic briar]

there was a supplier change around rg557 time

[carmine echo]

was long before that

got a cubexx in april no kioxia

[neat portal]

i got a cube around feb this year and it did came with a 32 GB black kioxia card not sure if that's the legit one or not

[void adder]

https://youtu.be/HlSJC5XD224

[green quest]

I’m curious if the non-branded blue SD card is still good

[topaz marlin]

My launch CubeXX from Anbernic shipped with a black Kioxia. The SP and 34xx I bought since from ali stores had no brand blue cards.

[carmine echo]

It's let me write to it a few times to add games and hasn't died yet
So I guess it's adequate for the time being

[manic briar]

I’ve not had an issue yet with a 64 and 256 blue unbranded.

I questioned Anbernic about the change and they said from their testing the compatibility was better.

[rancid bramble]

Or it's a cheaper oem drive 😂

Someone told me before anbernic uses samsung wafers on their oems though 🤔

[vestal tiger]

cubexx is the h700's strongest warrior

[hallow wasp]

cubexx master race

[sleek lantern]

My 28xx, 40xxV, and G350s came with Kioxia cards. My CubeXX And 35xxSP had no brands

Has anyone gotten Knulli to work on the 35xxPro?

[manic briar]

he has a test version out and it works

[sleek lantern]

I did see there's a test version

[sleek lantern]

Not to be nosey, but is the test version available to use?

[manic briar]

if you have access to the knulli mega, it’s in the alpha folder

I’m not sure if you need to have access or not
