Anbernic RG476H

[unique forge]

have you tried it, or are you blowing smoke?

[shrewd prairie]

ofc

tried every possible fork, every setting

cpu just not enough

always bound on it, gpu free

[late isle]

Which GC struggle on the T820

[shrewd prairie]

for example f-zero

[unique forge]

show us where gc hurt you

[late isle]

There shouldn’t be too many, right

[late isle]

Yeah that sounds about right

[shrewd prairie]

not many, just heavy

if it cant heavy then its not gc device, right?

MW struggle also

[late isle]

I would call T820 the bare minimum for GC/ PS2

Not saying it’s reliable

[unique forge]

that's a very black&white take on compatibility

[shrewd prairie]

every cop car down fps, and when them too much u get like 20-30 fps

on lowest possible settings

on D900 its like minum 30 at highest possible load

[unique forge]

if of the 651 gc games, it plays 600 untweaked, yeah that's gc friendly

[shrewd prairie]

still not much, but at least ''playable''

and it just GC, ps2 even worst

almost every heavy tiltle has deeps and struggles

cpu demanding*

[unique forge]

what are you basing this on?

[shrewd prairie]

expirience with 556

below GC its perfect device

[unique forge]

the thing is if a person doesn't plan on playing the heavier games, it doesn't matter. If they're willing to tweak for those upper 20-50 games, it doesn't matter. For everyone else, get an sd865 or d1100 device.

[shrewd prairie]

also X86 Vortek give it more space, but nothing more

PS2/GC lvl is start on D900, almost ideal on G1 Gen 2 and above

845 with heavy tune can be decent too (start or little above), T820 u cant do really anything

[unique forge]

the average person outside of the RH discord gets a t820 handheld for playstore and maybe xcloud streaming, anyways. emulation is kind of an afterthought

[shrewd prairie]

agree, and thats good

They have no reason to be upset when their favorite game isn't working, even though they were told there would be no problems.

like here, if they dont put at least G1 or D900, if G99 that was RIP (ps2/wii )

Based on my gut feeling, there's a 60% chance that it's a crappy G99.

[unique forge]

it is what it is. i see no harm in the soc chosen for the rg476h. Chinese buyers wanted this, so this is what we get.

[shrewd prairie]

Yes, in China they perceive everything differently, I've noticed.

They don't sweat it, unless we're talking about geeks, who make up a huge chunk of the population there.

[unique forge]

reminds me of jdewitz saying that the powkiddy x28 is popular amongst kids, because its easy to set up for multiplayer android games.

[shrewd prairie]

ye thats true

same as anbernic, it super friendly for noobs

[unique forge]

like, stateside you don't see huddles of kids playing Arena of Valor on their devices, because chinese retro handhelds are still hyperniche in the west.

i've only seen maybe... 4 people at work use em. everyone else has a switch or a deck or some gaming laptop

[shrewd prairie]

yeah, and that realy sad

[hexed fern]

300% overclock

Or 60% underclock for some of the other upper-tier games

[shrewd prairie]

nothing helped

[hexed fern]

You enabled the dual core speed hack? Apparently that's disabled by default for f zero gx for whatever reason

https://www.youtube.com/live/MFMBNjFgJnE

This shows f zero gx running at full speed on the fire field track

Which iirc is the most demanding track in the game

[mint venture]

from my experience big blue is more demanding than the fire track

but yeah I think the t820 can do f-zero fine with the dual core hack

[hexed fern]

Yeah

[nocturne sparrow]

Dual core hack?

You mean turning on dual core in the graphics settings

[hexed fern]

Yea it's turned off by default for some reason specifically on this game

[nocturne sparrow]

Yeah

[hexed fern]

But yeah just because some people can't be arsed tweaking doesn't mean the T820 isn't capable of playing GC/PS2

[hexed fern]

GC is mostly plug and play, the higher end games can be played with 60% underclock and backend switching etc

PS2 may need abit more tweaking but that way it's capable of playing like 80% of the PS2 library

[nocturne sparrow]

I don’t have a problem with T820 and GC/PS2, my issue is paring it a 960p screen but that’s really just a personal nitpick

[mint venture]

the proper way to play f-zero gx as the developers intended

[nocturne sparrow]

https://tenor.com/view/thegoon-bigoldgoon-ted-lasso-yes-yes-yes-yes-gif-701975896996955852

[hexed fern]

Yeah I wouldn't expect to upscale every GC/PS2 title on the t820

[cyan gust]

Yes, should have paired it with something that can at least 2x majority of the ps2/gc/Wii library.
(>2x needed for most ps2 titles to >=960p as games run below 480i/p)

But if this goes cheap enough would be a perfect n64/DC machine

[mint venture]

are we still talking about the RG476H

[nocturne sparrow]

Yeah there is an argument to be made for PS1/N64/DC on 476H

[mint venture]

honestly just don't get this for high end 3D emulation, it's dpad top anyway

[nocturne sparrow]

My personal preference is prioritizing shaders over upscaling

And you need a beefy chip for the high end shaders

This device will have its audience I’m sure

Just another example of “if you have to ask who’s this for, it’s not for you”

[mint venture]

can this chip do crt royale? I'm guessing no

[cyan gust]

Does Anbernic ever release official grip for their devices?

[shrewd prairie]

yeah tried, here and there deeps

[hexed fern]

Doubt

Zfast-CRT should be fine though

[nocturne sparrow]

T820? No

[thorny musk]

I’ve noticed that sentiment on the capabilities of older chips shifts dramatically as people justify paying more for more powerful specs to play the exact same 4:3 systems. I remember when I was researching the 406V T820 it was considered a reliable 2x GC chip, save for a handful of games you have to play at native (like Fzero especially on fire field). Now for some reason the T820 and G99 straight up “can’t even do GC” 😂

[hexed fern]

G99 is the minimum chip that I consider GC-friendly without intensive tweaking

Can run up to mid-tier games without tweaking

[thorny musk]

Maybe the G99 would be a bit too weak for this device and screen but T820 is respectable at least. I think people are exaggerating

[hexed fern]

But when you get to games like Metroid Prime you're gonna need to change stuff

[shrewd prairie]

that how it is, comfort requirements have increased

[hexed fern]

T820 can do most of the heavier games with minor tweaks

Just don't try playing Rogue Squadron 2 or COD2: Big Red One

[shrewd prairie]

yea yea sure

tweaks wont solve problem weak cpu

which are not enough to run gc/ps2 if we talk about full or almost full library

[hexed fern]

T820 can do most light-mid GC at 2x anyway

[shrewd prairie]

true, the problem t820 is cpu, not gpu

[hexed fern]

And then you have dolphin mmjr2 which supports fractional upscaling (1.5x etc)

[shrewd prairie]

this why u can play 2x and over on non cpu demanding games

[hexed fern]

T820 isn't actually that weak of a CPU

Compare it to the sd845

[shrewd prairie]

it is

[hexed fern]

They're roughly in the same power bracket

In terms of emulation

[shrewd prairie]

845 run f-zero perfect / almost out of box

820 can not

snapdragon moment, never forget that

it has better support cpu and gpu

they are not the same

[thorny musk]

I kinda just assume even the 865 would struggle on these although I never tried. I’m just saying I automatically assume RS2 is an extreme outlier and don’t count on it running. I think it is not a good metric to judge a devices GC prowess on RS2

But you are right

[hexed fern]

SD845: 4x A75 @ 2.8GHz + 4x A55 @ 1.8GHz
T820: 1x A76 @ 2.7GHz + 3x A76 @ 2.3GHz + 4x A55 @ 2.1GHz

[shrewd prairie]

yes

[hexed fern]

Yeah my RP5 struggles with rogue squadron 2

[shrewd prairie]

hardware not everything, it much complicated thing

[hexed fern]

Megahertz myth

[shrewd prairie]

when we talk about emulation

[hexed fern]

T820 is far superior in raw power

But qcom has better GPU drivers

[shrewd prairie]

CPU too

[hexed fern]

Jarvis, compare geekbench scores between the unisoc t820 and sdm845

[shrewd prairie]

qualcomm melt dimencity in cpu and gpu support to like Dimencity9000

now they are close in some scenarios

[hexed fern]

https://nanoreview.net/en/soc-compare/unisoc-t820-vs-qualcomm-snapdragon-845

845 has better GPU

[shrewd prairie]

!

[hexed fern]

T820 has better CPU

[shrewd prairie]

....

u realy blind fan of 820

[hexed fern]

No

[shrewd prairie]

yes

obv

[hexed fern]

As i said the t820(, dimensity 900) and sdm845 are in the same power bracket

[shrewd prairie]

they are not 820=>845=>900

[hexed fern]

Do you only play winlator/nintendo switch?

[shrewd prairie]

nop, i play GEN6 and above

[hexed fern]

You also have to consider the versions of emulators being used

[shrewd prairie]

just get 845 device and u will understand how u are wrong

any, and yes it will show less scores on geekbench

[thorny musk]

I’ve never had an Odin 1 but just from the reviews I’ve seen of both, I thought T820 was considerably more powerful than SD845.

[shrewd prairie]

most of peoples think that (before i think this too, S845 = U820 but no, not close in stability)

its okey (most underrated device/soc btw, bc of many tubers dont have basic skills to find right settings)
it was first ps2/gc fully capable device out of box, which u can boost to like 30% with manual GPU overclock and some core tweaks (ram/rom)
https://youtu.be/ViCA--Wi26s?si=xRk07I9tX61D0XsC

[open mantle]

You guys argue a lot. Let's all agree to disagree. It would be almost impossible to perfectly describe capabilities of these handhelds. Too many factors.

[shrewd prairie]

i use them all, so ik how does it perform

[mint venture]

not it's actually about the same, in some instances the 845 might perform better, in other worse, but they are within spitting distance

Odin 1 is old but the 845 on a handheld was pretty disruptive when it came out, it still holds up

[shrewd prairie]

they are same until u run realy heavy game

gc or ps2 or above

some of them will be close with heavy tweaks, some not (845 with tweaks can anything) with overclock anything + 30%, D900 with basic setting can anything too
i never say t820 bad, but it just not that good as 845 and 900

[unique forge]

i just walk away at a certain point. I've tested the heavy games as well. they run, but if someone wants to die on the "this can't play gc/ps2/3ds/vita/etc. hill" whatever man

[unique forge]

the "no you can't use a t820 because it can't play X" gatekeeping bogs down the whole reason we make these channels.

[austere goblet]

This will be a solid PSX and lower machine if they get the price correct. Over 160 and then there are better options.

[unique forge]

dreamcast and n64 as well

[austere goblet]

Yeah that too. I just don't play those systems much

[peak chasm]

Use the 50fps pal version

[shrewd prairie]

tried year-2 ago, doesnt helped allot, but better

[mint venture]

nah no need, you can do f zero just fine at 60 if you enable dual core

[frigid sequoia]

I need this

t820 is plenty of perf for what I care about on handhelds

and this is just a nice big 120hz slab

[spark agate]

I’m just gonna swap my 477M internals into the 476 shell !
Shoulder triggers may be an issue tho

[frigid sequoia]

t820 power efficiency/not having to use the fan is the appeal of this one to me

[oak umbra]

It is 'disappointing' for the lack of a better word because they could have used their newer chip. But i really like my T820 handheld , i can play all the Wii and GC i want and finished a bunch of light Switch games on it. Currently finishing Hollow Knight

There's a mod for Mario Wonder also , it runs very well at 30fps if anyone is interested

[oak umbra]

Is it possible ?

[oak umbra]

The only GC game i couldn't run was Baldur's Gate 3 but the Switch version runs well on that chip , and also Rogue Squadron
FZero runs well with Dolphin VBI skip

[unique forge]

i only use pal versions. its like a 20% boost in performance

[primal grove]

they could have done but that chip has had issues with heat and battery, despite the great performance. That power has tradeoffs 😄 but yeah the t820 hatefucking is kinda odd

[spark agate]

The T820 seems to have about 50% more power than the T618 that was in the 405M going by geekbench 6. It has exactly half the power of the Dimensity 8300 found in the 477M.

[oak umbra]

They could release a Gen2 handheld and we would still complain about it
They already know that at this point 😆

[oak abyss]

I never got the t820 hate, especially the line about it not being able to handle ALL GameCube and ps2. Seems that the titles the t820 struggles to play are the titles everything struggles to play. Especially things like rogue leader and fzero. I mean yeah a rp5 can play mostly the same games at 2x resolution, but are you really going to notice when you’re just playing the game?

[nocturne sparrow]

I loved my T820 devices

Well I loved the chip

The devices themselves could use some improvement

[frigid sequoia]

You take that back, the 406v is perfect

[oak umbra]

A DMG version of it would be perfect , i don't like the colors they did for it and i have one.

[nocturne sparrow]

Not a fan of the diamond cutter nipple thumbsticks in all honesty lol

Otherwise yes I’d agree

[frigid sequoia]

That’s true, I would’ve preferred dmg buttons on my grey unit or better yet if they had done wood grain again

[mint venture]

WOODGRAIN

[unique forge]

the 405v laughs

[nocturne sparrow]

Cries is 480p

[unique forge]

its the mentality of always wanting the best/newest thing and devaluing anything lower. already people are lining up to sell their Odin 2's for the Thor, or their legion go's for the legion go 2's. Capitolist zombie mentality

[shrewd prairie]

its not about mentality

thor just better then odin 2

thats it

with x86 harder, for example if compare z1e and z2e, it has huge performance boost on 17w

bc on 17w it can reapeat what can z1e with 25w or 30w

exact the same performance, huge efficiency boost for real

[unique forge]

[shrewd prairie]

its realy hard to understand?

/-_-/

[placid thorn]

these ain't rg476h specs

[shrewd prairie]

sadly no

maybe in 2035

[echo cargo]

Did they say when more info is coming on the 476h or just that one teaser video is all we know?

[cyan gust]

anbernic usually quite fast to release from their announcement video, like within a month?

what additional info you need anyway that is not out? price?

[placid thorn]

what more info do you want? this is like the 556,406,CUBE and SLIDE, just with the 4.7" 120hz 1280x960 screen, we already have seen in the SLIDE and 477m

they honestly could just drop names and we would have 90% of the infos

[fleet stag]

I love to do such projects. Could work, but yeah, the shoulders and triggers are gonna be an issue.

[echo cargo]

Yeah I guess price and anticipated release

[dire gale]

Anbernic products tend to go on sale often. I highly recommend waiting 2 months after release. Especially with the 11.11 sale on AliExpress

[mint venture]

instructions unclear fomoed 48h entry price

[unique forge]

there's no need for more info. it's just the same t820 board from the 406h in the rg477's shell

[dire gale]

I'm sure Russ and other youtubers will get their hands early for review

But I don't really expect any big surprises. All the parts used are probably same as in other Anbernic devices

[hexed fern]

This

[twilit edge]

I hope it ain't like the last few Anbernic devices where they've put unnecessary embargoes on reviews

[hexed fern]

He's gotta be some troll/ragebait thingy

[frigid sequoia]

Do we need specs?

It’s the 477 screen and the 406 chip

Price is the only unknown, but even that is gonna be more than 406 less than slide

[placid thorn]

I don't, some others maybe

[frigid sequoia]

So not a huge window

[bronze jolt]

Will it be more than 406 though, been out a while

[placid thorn]

$165 at worst I think

they really should go for $150 tho

[shrewd prairie]

150$ retail

[unborn lintel]

150 could be pretty nice

it has to rival the rp4p after all

[patent compass]

that's kinda the expected price, with $15 off early bird

[shrewd prairie]

yh

[unborn lintel]

you are really choosing between better screen and better specs if it was 150 so I think it's overall balanced

[frigid sequoia]

Does it?

It has a far nicer screen

[shrewd prairie]

somone can pick it instead bigger rp4pro

[unborn lintel]

far weaker specs too

[shrewd prairie]

even it way more weaker

[patent compass]

$149 early offer makes it no-brainer for those who want a big 4:3 screen, so probably that

[dire gale]

RP4P has better chip but everything else about it is worse.

[unborn lintel]

Like look at this

double the gpu power

[patent compass]

I can run pokemon at 10x now ??? 🔥 🔥 🔥

[dire gale]

yup. 4:3 content on RP4P is sooo small

[frigid sequoia]

No because emulation barely uses the gpu

For 2d systems it literally doesn’t use it at all

Miyoo mini plus doesn’t even have one

[echo cargo]

Yeah I’m not in any huge rush was just curious

Only other concern in the US is the whole tariff situation currently

[dire gale]

With Odin 3, Thor, and Konkr pocket available, I feel less and less reason to buy anything else.

[unborn lintel]

I honestly don't really care about ps2 or gamecube emulation when it comes to mid ranger or relatively lower end handhelds so it would be a pretty easy choice for me to choose the rg476m over the rp4p. But for many people the extra TWICE power would matter a lot if they really wanna get into those systems on the go

[echo cargo]

This is how I feel I’m playing ps2 and GameCube on a different device.

[unborn lintel]

It's all because of those thick bezels on the device. Like the rp4p shell could easily fit a 5.3 inch screen if the formfactor was ever modernized

[frigid sequoia]

4.7” 4:3 is equivalent to playing 4:3 games on a nearly 6” 16:9

[unborn lintel]

uhh, kinda

more like 5.8 inches

[placid thorn]

5.5" 16:9 is 4.5" 4:3
6" 16:9 is 4.9" 4:3

both are 0.2" removed from an 4.7" panel, pick your comparison wisely

[frigid sequoia]

Bigger display area than my rp5 for 4:3 games and 120hz

[copper coral]

Didn’t you get the 477m?

[frigid sequoia]

And hopefully sticks that aren’t so close to abxy to be in the way

[frigid sequoia]

No

No gammaOS on that chipset yet

And now no 8gb sku and the 12 is insane

I was tempted by the slide but the ergo seems bad

[copper coral]

Ok yeah, then waiting for this at least makes more sense than getting the 477m nowadays (since they got rid of the 8gb sku).

[frigid sequoia]

So this is ideal for me

[dire gale]

Anbernic will probably release another device with 4.7 same screen

[frigid sequoia]

476sp pls

[copper coral]

I still can’t believe how wild the G3Gen3 Pocket Fit’s Super EB price is. That’s literally freaking $30-$40 less than the only available 477M sku, and it’s still like $10 less than the 557.

[unborn lintel]

150 dollar 476sp anbernic and you can have my soul

[patent compass]

I believe in 476SP more than in 476V

[copper coral]

Hell, even after Super, regular EB will still be like $10-$20 less than 477m and only $15-$20 more than 557.

[copper coral]

It’s the base model, so it’s both only black color and also only 8/128, but that’s still freaking insane for G3 Gen 3.

[primal grove]

its absolutely nuts 😄 you must be tempted

[frigid sequoia]

What if the 477v came in a dark mahogany wood grain

[copper coral]

I already pre-ordered a 12/256 yellow one, with plans to upgrade to either 16/512 (only $50 more), or even 16/1tb(only $100 more).

[patent compass]

It's gonna be a plate at this point, 406V is already kinda big

[placid thorn]

do you think they will allow you to upgrade to super early bird prices tho?

[copper coral]

They did with the Pocket Ace and also the DS. Pocket Ace specifically had that extra discount from following the release via email, and they still only charged me the difference between the EB versions, they didn’t charge me extra to “make the price equal”.

[placid thorn]

fair enough then

[copper coral]

But regardless yeah, it’s kind of exciting when freaking AYANEO of all companies is going for really good value.

[unique forge]

Both have Mali gpus and same compatibility profiles so it doesn't really matter

whether you play super Mario 3d land at 2x or 3x, its still the same game. T820 and d1100 are both on the same plateau

This is like trying to ban someone from your darktide 4man because they have a gtx1650 instead of a 3080. Doesn't matter as long as they dont drag the team down

[frigid sequoia]

I want a gameboy so fat it feels to my adult hands the way the OG DMG did to my 8 year old hands

[copper coral]

So…Deckboy (vertical Steam Deck) maybe?

[frigid sequoia]

I'd use it

[unborn lintel]

as far as I'm aware the t820 doesn't play most of the library of gamecube while the d1100 does almost all of it

[patent compass]

T820 plays basically all of gamecube

[unborn lintel]

Did dolphin advance to that point?

[echo cargo]

This is my biggest interest with this.

[patent compass]

Maybe you're confusing it with T618? T820 was pretty capable even a year ago I think

[echo cargo]

I can’t say I’ve tried everything but I haven’t run into a GC issue yet on my rg406h

[unborn lintel]

Maybe russ talked about the ps2 library not being able to be run?

[echo cargo]

I did play god of war which at first was not going well then I found some settings on Reddit and it solved all my issues with the red orbs breaking the game.

[unique forge]

you are very very misinformed

when the 556 first launched, there was a lot of "this processor can't play 6th gen" until game tests began dropping. then that crowd went silent. As soon as tests stopped, they went back to "t820 can't play 6th gen." It's not really worth going back and challenging that level of contempt?

https://youtu.be/WQGutvT4sVk

monospace is sort of the voiceless brute-force console tester of the youtubers. he gives it a 97% rating on gamecube. his samples are usually like 20-50 games though. gamecube has 651 releases.

best remedy for your concern is to go to this list:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_GameCube_games
pick out some titles and try them if you can't find a video of the gameplay. either that or get someone else to test those games for you. I guarrantee absolutely nobody has tested the Cabela or Disney Sports titles, so start with those and work down through the alphabet

but also, just remember! Only a few of us will care you did it! even if you publish a "Icediamondshark's 651-game rg476h gamecube test" movie. Anyways, want to see what btfo's naysayers?
https://youtu.be/V0Ancmparr8

[shrewd prairie]

and u call this shit run good?

slide show, T820 how it is

[unique forge]

Yes. 😎

Rp4pro runs it smoother but has worse Vulkan and opengl drivers, so the ground-crack polygons underneath boss 2 pop in every time he steps and render over the dust. It looks awful

[hexed fern]

Idk man if you want perfect PS2 performance without tweaks just get an SD865/D1200 or better rather than vocally dying on the "T820 isn't PS2/GC friendly because I can't be fucked going into menus" hill

T820 can already play practically the latter's full library, might need a 60% underclock for heavy hitters like NFS:MW but what gives

[shrewd prairie]

i didnt say t820 cant ps2/gc, i say its not good how blind fans say/think (is taking into account all the tweaks)

[unique forge]

Lebowski.jpg

[frosty swallow]

Maybe the worth of the device isn't in how well it runs ps2 and gc games

[pseudo cypress]

I'll be fair, it doesn't look great. That said I wouldn't be trying to run those systems on t820 anyway

Trust me. I wish this had a better chip

[unique forge]

typical use-case for me. Unreal Tournament 2004, NFS:U2 pc edition, a bit of SAO: Hollow Realization in vita3k. I have gc/ps2 games i like, but they aren't reasons i play the device

[echo cargo]

Maybe there’s a reason the D pads on top 🙂

[unique forge]

quake 3 for ps2 is definitely on the "can't be bothered to play the android version" list, if you can't be bothered to run the og pc version in winlator

[pseudo cypress]

Oh for sure. I really just want this to be a plastic 477m heh

Cause then they go stacked triggers and it becomes a real head scratcher

[echo cargo]

One day Anbernic might get all the Frankenstein parts in the exact configuration you want 🤣

[pseudo cypress]

Feel like Anbernic journey into mid tier has been a real headscratch journey

[echo cargo]

Must be fun working for them “guys I have a crazy idea!”

“Let’s do it”

[pseudo cypress]

They could just put them in a configuration that makes sense and I'd nod my head 😆

[unique forge]

you could just like.... have no expectations and make the best of what they release

maybe that's -too- positive though

[echo cargo]

This one gets pretty damn close to what I’m looking for. A nice 4:3 screen to play mostly handhelds and 5th gen

[pseudo cypress]

It's not being negative. Head scratching isn't necessarily a negative thing, more like, ok, that's different

[echo cargo]

Anything newer I’d rather just play on my Odin

[unique forge]

there are some basic prereqs though... like 'can it play dragon quest builders natively at medium graphics' or 'is Asphalt 9 smooth or stutter-hell' or 'does Sky:Children of Light even run?'

the 405-series ran sky, but the xx6-series are all unsupported. 😕

[pseudo cypress]

But yeah. Inline shoulders on this and it'd be perfect for the retro consoles it can actually run. Stacked triggers on the 477m and likewise. I mean they likely didn't do that cause metal, but still

[unique forge]

this is to the 477m as the CubeXX is to the Cube

[pseudo cypress]

Yeah. So would have made sense for controls to match the power level

[unique forge]

oh god... i cursed us. we're going to get a 47xx now

[pseudo cypress]

Hehe

[oak umbra]

I was amazed to see some people already saying the Portal is old lol The device came out not even a year ago.

[pseudo cypress]

To be fair. This last round of pricing has been pretty aggressive. Heh

[oak umbra]

Anbernic will probably upload a showcase video this week with performance and then in 2 weeks it will be on Aliexpress

[frigid sequoia]

47xxV

[mint venture]

all I know is in one month time we'll see this screen again in something else lol

[echo cargo]

True

[mint venture]

but I like this one

I think it'll do the job as a plastic rg477m replacement

[unborn lintel]

if they price this device competitively to the rp4p then I'll definitely be conteplating if I want to get it or not

[mint venture]

that's a strange way of saying you'll be preordering day one

[unborn lintel]

are you that comfident in it's cheapness?

[mint venture]

nah it won't be cheaper than a rp4p realistically

I fully expect $180, maybe $170 with the first 48h discount

[toxic pagoda]

i expect whatever the slide was at release minus 15-20 bucks

[unique forge]

if someone wants to test this for ps2, here is a good list of games to go by based on rankings... top 20/100 should be worth looking into. ps2 has 3000+ releases, so it's kinda impossible to do everything
https://www.mobygames.com/platform/ps2/

if the analogs are shit, Okami(#1) will not be playable

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MwF95nwXvd4
VF4 for instance has been tested and played to death because of the arcade gamer following, but SOCOM? only Monospace tested it, and it was a small clip of the first level of the third game.

[bronze jolt]

They’ve had decent sticks recently so hopefully they don’t go backwards on those

[unique forge]

556 had the worst sticks, but they could be broken in. 406h and 406v were the best, and the cube was dead center.

[bronze jolt]

Sorry yeah meant 406 and 477

Guess the 557 wasn’t great

[unique forge]

people complained that the sticks were too small even though they were full-range, so largely a nothingburger issue

if you can pull off spells in Okami, they're good sticks.

[frigid sequoia]

it integer scales NDS so I'm pretty sure we're gonna see two of this screen in a Dsi XL clone soon

[cyan gust]

From d8300 to t820 to t620 (rumoured chip for the DS), this screen seems to be travelling down, next one h700? 🤣

[twilit edge]

RG47XX DS would rule lol

[primal grove]

I do love the 406h sticks 😄

[frigid sequoia]

47xxV

[digital cedar]

So of this is t820 how much weaker is it than 47m?

[shrewd prairie]

x allot time

[patent pier]

Needs to be something that can run PS1 at enhanced resolution smoothly, not the H700.

[unborn lintel]

not sure if that would fit in your pocket tbh

from my mesurements a vertical handheld can only go with around a 4 inch screen if you want 4:3, or something taller

[frigid sequoia]

Do we have a guess for a launch time on this guy?

[upbeat yoke]

I think the assumption is < a month

[pliant barn]

if the price is around 140-150, it could be a decent alternative

for anything PSP and under, PSP on this screen seems good as it is the same size as the OG hardware

whilst you have power to upscale it to 4x

but if it's 160 and above, yeah imma just go for the RP Mini v2

[oak umbra]

It does way more than PSP and under though

[unique forge]

let's not ignite that dumb argument again.

tinkerers can get get all the way up to wii-u, vita, switch, and pc 7th gen running on t820.
non-tinkerers say the wall stops at like... dreamcast.

[primal grove]

It's entertaining to read though

[unique forge]

There's a whole study on this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Truth-default_theory

[primal grove]

You're very invested in this, its almost adorable

[oak umbra]

In 3 months when the Odin 3 pro comes out , the Portal will be a great N64 and under device

[dark laurel]

https://youtu.be/qRV48ijQJHQ?si=tILmt72Ux--WJT8w

Lol

Jank ds setup still

[pliant barn]

Hmmm why does the retro colour have a black bezel

While the purple doesn't

Seems like the black one also doesn't have it, only the tan retro color

[subtle moth]

Ew, the bezel size difference

[pliant barn]

maybe they did that to the retro one because it's a lighter color?

[dark laurel]

Agreed. Bezel looks awful

[pliant barn]

measuring it by finger it seems the same thickness

[twilit edge]

Huh, good spot

[dark laurel]

Would probs get black model then because of bezel

[pliant barn]

if i were to choose, just gonna go black for this one

either black or the retro one

the gc purple looks like its a bit crooked

[twilit edge]

Yeah, for GC I don't see the point if they don't commit fully with the yellow right stick. Grey looks nice but I'd want to change the buttons to PS1 ones, and those ain't cheap. Black looks good but I wish the text on the buttons was white

[pliant barn]

now that i think about it, the 477M should have a black colorway

now here's hoping the 476h at least has the 406 sticks

and not the 557's

[twilit edge]

They deffo look more like the 406 ones

[pliant barn]

yeah like i can see the white base below whenever it's fully tilted

so at least that's good, shame that the 557 doesn't have those

[placid thorn]

I'm in, just sell it to me now, it has already been 9hours since I ordered my last handheld

https://tenor.com/view/chappelles-show-dave-chappelle-chappelles-tyrone-tyrone-biggums-gif-4958017

[twilit edge]

Mate you need sleep not more handhelds!

[placid thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/gamer-cant-sleep-focused-sleep-is-for-the-weak-gif-11368894

[shrewd prairie]

recognize frame drops on pal gow, 💯 T820

[marble inlet]

man, you already suppose to get air pocket mini from your overspending on pocket s2, what more need do you have for t820? this isn't life pokemon to catch them all

[placid thorn]

I also already have a 477m

[marble inlet]

you have a sickness man

[placid thorn]

just some disposable income

[oak umbra]

This is the one and only case where i don't mind the bezel. It fits the 'retro' vibe this color is going for

The Snes buttons on the GC model bother me way more

[frosty swallow]

anbernic and slightly screwing up the colorways - name a more iconic duo

[placid thorn]

slightly? a lot of the time it's so bad that you contemplate if you even want the device

[frosty swallow]

you mean like taking their premium device and only releasing it in chocolate bronze and unfinished raw aluminum casting color

[wheat vortex]

can they sell that gorgeous 4.7" 120hz screen as external monitor/dual

a lot of DIY projects can be made from this screen

G-Boy screen for example

holyshit

considering retroid is selling theirs for $70. please sell it at $50 or less

[placid thorn]

it's a custom panel, I think theirs would be more expensive

[wheat vortex]

fuck it, sell at $70 to match retroid

how much is RG476H anyway? RG Slide is already $180

[placid thorn]

I would rather expect $80-90, unlike Retroid just selling an off the shelf screen, Anbernic would want to make the investment of the custom screen back

[balmy mulch]

I'd expect a similar price tbh

[wheat vortex]

wtf?

[placid thorn]

nah, less, no Sliding, maybe $165 at worst $170

[balmy mulch]

But ~150 would make it perfect (unlikely doe)

[wheat vortex]

that's not even a good difference lol. might as well get the slide

[placid thorn]

and a few bucks off the first few days, putting it close to $150

[balmy mulch]

With the glass front and 477 screen I'd expect it to be equal but yeah if it's lower god bless

[placid thorn]

nah, you don't want that, trust me 😅

[wheat vortex]

is slide that bad?

[balmy mulch]

It's just a chunky mf iirc

[wheat vortex]

dude, even ayaneo is dropping prices

[balmy mulch]

Quite top heavy

[placid thorn]

not if you consider it training

[wheat vortex]

are you top heavy as well? provided you;re a girl

[placid thorn]

it's impossible to hold comfortable at a good viewing angle

you can play it at 90°, but that kinda sucks

a grip will run you 20bucks and even then the ergo is just okay

[balmy mulch]

https://tenor.com/view/my-honest-reaction-gif-24272528

[wheat vortex]

you baited me with that icon

thought you were a girl

[compact crystal]

I love how they drop the DS feature 😅

[wheat vortex]

why anbernic keeps missing?

[balmy mulch]

It's not retroid's screen right

[placid thorn]

I mean, it's a fun little fidget toy, just impractical to actually play with

[wheat vortex]

and rg467h has bottom analog stick

FUCK why are they missing so hard

[placid thorn]

that's totally fine, easy to reach on the 477m too

[primal grove]

they're missing because they feel they can get away with it, which is prob true 😄

[wheat vortex]

honestly they should just make an SP with this screen, with h700 or whatever

[oak umbra]

Please let the H700 rest in peace

[wheat vortex]

honestly anything to cut the price down+ that 4.7" screen

[frosty swallow]

This device but in linux would be pretty much perfect for me

[wheat vortex]

a $100 handheld with 4.7" 120hz would be their goat.

a133 or whatever

[oak umbra]

T820 flip would be nice , the H700 is too weak for a Flip with a good screen

[wheat vortex]

but T820 flip will touch near thor price of $250

[random viper]

What’s the benefits of the top stick vs bottom stick? I thought this device being lowered powered it would make sense to be Dpad centric?

I’ve only ever used my Odin 2 Portal and a RG 35xx SP, so bear with me on my lack of exp.

[foggy bough]

Next up dual screen handheld from Anbernic, just wait and see 🙈

[frosty swallow]

I always want dpad top

[open mantle]

Wtf dual screen was that? Looked like a 3d printed shell for that 2nd screen. Also does their OS support dual screen now? Lol

[twilit edge]

Hope so

[twilit edge]

It's just Android

[open mantle]

Just? Android doesn't support dual screen by default.

So anbernic updated theirs or is about to I guess. Or did some jank setup to display it maybe.

[twilit edge]

You can plug a display into an Android device and have it go to desktop mode right? Like by default it will just mirror the screen, but you can change that and then even use the Android device as a trackpad input device for the big screen

Like people were doing that on the RG Cube last year

[frosty swallow]

Many android devices do not support display out

[oak umbra]

Though the same when they showed that second screen thingy on the video lol

[hasty turtle]

are the sticks again the switch-style ones?

[unique forge]

Anbernic is pretty good at doing "it plays everything" showcases.

[bronze jolt]

Are they not bothering with posting specs? Just vids

[hollow jacinth]

I think someone confirmed or is all but nearly sure of them

T820

[frosty swallow]

Nothing official is out, but people are speculating based on the model number. 476H.

47 for 4.7" screen, 6 for 6 series, H for horizontal. The other 6 series are T820.

[hollow jacinth]

I like the idea of this, but with it not being able to play PS2 confortably maks me apprehensive and still want to consider the 477M. It's hard to be fully on board. I guess once more info comes out, prices etc.. we will see.

[unique forge]

it's the 477m with a plastic body and a t820 processor.

[hollow jacinth]

I want the 477M with a plastic body.. period lol

[unique forge]

(shrug) message max. see if he responds?

[hollow jacinth]

I'd even take the inline shoulders

Max said he wouldn't do it to someone else

but then here is this..

so maybe that is what he meant lol

[unique forge]

a real chad move: rg473h with the rk3566 processor

[hollow jacinth]

https://tenor.com/view/stan-lee-avengers-legends-never-die-sad-marvel-gif-12885473

[frosty swallow]

https://tenor.com/view/buy-dollar-dollor-crypto-bsc-gif-27418563

[bronze jolt]

I just need confirmation 😅

[frosty swallow]

Honestly this screen with whatever can handle ps1 at 2x resolution without dropping frames is all that i need (and preferably linux)

[unique forge]

ah you need anbernic to tell you the new rgXX6 device is a t820. fair enough

[bronze jolt]

I just need confirmation 😅

[late isle]

The name itself is a confirmation

[bronze jolt]

They might throw a curve ball

[late isle]

No

[unique forge]

just let them wait it out. this is anti-dogma playing itself out

[late isle]

You’re overthinking

[shrewd prairie]

u dont need

just watch gameplay what they post on ps2, and u will understand it was 200% t820

[bronze jolt]

Oled 7” with a 395+

[mint venture]

this is the color that I wanted

always something with Anbernic

the extra bezels on the retro color also show on the 3d rendered model on the video

so looks like an intentional choice not just a preprod unit quirk

[oak umbra]

Plot twist : it's a Gen3 SD

[mint venture]

I think the reason for the bezel difference is that they couldn't get the screen cut out symmetrically perfect

and this is camouflaged in the black/indigo colorways, but would have been evident in the grey one without some creativity on their part

[oak umbra]

Ah no , bro. Anbernic is always worried about design , so they left that small black bezel in there to fit the retro aesthetics to a T

[mint venture]

or that lol

[lucid silo]

landscape display, display ribbon is at the bottom

can't make it any thinner

[mint venture]

looks much more subtle on the indigo, no?

[unborn lintel]

See it has more bezels cause it's "More retro" that way

[pseudo cypress]

I want a 1" screen with 3" bezels

[unique forge]

PeoPle here don't understand art.

[icy elk]

I'm praying the triggers won't be clicky and loud

Definitely getting this one, would have gotten the 477 if the colors weren't horrible

[unborn lintel]

would have gotten 477m if it wasn't so expensive

partially because of the metalic shell, partially because I don't really care for the expensive chipset they used

[spark agate]

Like the original Gameboy

[oak umbra]

It looks cute on the DMG model imo , like it fits the whole aesthetic of it ( for me )

[oak umbra]

It's still the best color imo
Black is boring and the Snes buttons on the GC model are OCD triggering

[unique forge]

I have my 556 and cube with me. What ps2 or gc games were you interested in? I can scrcpy footage directly to my laptop

[upbeat yoke]

I’d be keen to see how Final Fantasy XII runs imo

[unique forge]

that ran on like... t618 devices without any issues. i think i already have it on my 556.

[upbeat yoke]

sweet

most ps2 I want to play is rpgs so that's good haha

[unique forge]

https://youtu.be/BE0XoDMpMT8?t=186

this is without any tweaks

the hardest rpg i've played for ps2 is Shining Force EXA and it's hundred enemy doggypile fights, and those aren't bad at all with 1 level of EE skip

tbh, i play more on the cube than the 556. its the cheapest, dopiest, more pocketable of all the t820 devices. got mine used for like 75usd

[oak umbra]

One thing that is cool about the T820 is how many e-shop and lighter Switch games it can run
Luigi's Mansion 2 run well which impressed me. I finished all the Blasphemous games on it too

[unique forge]

I have also played a dumb amount of switch games on 556. Hello kitty island adventure is up there on the 'plays perfect' list. I unexpectedly liked it enough to buy it on steam

[oak umbra]

Cult of the Lamb , Crypt Custodian, Diablo 3 , Dave The Diver , Atomic Crops , Call of Juarez ...

[unique forge]

What do you use? Sudachi or something else?

[oak umbra]

I use all of them haha Sudachi , Citron and Yuzu
I haven't tried Eden on my 406V yet

[unique forge]

The challenge is like... Sampling a wide spectrum of games instead of.. the 10 out of 3000+ games that are hard to emulate.

[hollow jacinth]

I just don't want to worry but I appreicate you asking.

I have an Odin 2.. So I'll just use that, but I really really like the 477M design wise.

[unique forge]

if you have an odin 2, stay with the odin 2. nothing else out is going to touch that bloody thing. you might dig the cube or the 406v

[oak umbra]

One small advantage of the T820 over the Flip 2 , is that i had Luigi's Mansion running plug and play style and on my Flip2 i had to look for the correct driver and it only works well on the new version of Eden.

[patent compass]

The early bird price is $160. I was expecting $150, so not that big of a difference. Still a bit too expensive, gonna wait for sales.

[echo stump]

I just found out that this will cost $175 and pre-order is $160

[primal grove]

Do we have full specs now?

[echo stump]

Can anyone confirm this?

I don’t see the priced confirmed on this Discord server.

[patent compass]

https://retrododo.com/anbernic-reveals-new-rg476h-handheld-with-a-stunning-new-design/

[echo stump]

As usual the price got leaked to these YouTubers

[patent compass]

Retrododo asked for the info and the only thing anbernic shared is the price. No release date, no spec sheet yet

[primal grove]

Eh best to wait for official confirmation

[twilit edge]

Hopefully it launches before Friday so we can use some of the current AliExpress coupons on it

Prob not gonna happen... Shame, cause the RG477M was released during an AliExpress sale

[scarlet axle]

Early bird at 159, but probably there will be late bird price of 120 usd on Aliexpres, two months after the release xD

[echo cargo]

Yeah that’s too much I’ll wait for that late bird pricing 🤣

[oak umbra]

175$ is too much when the 406H is on sale for 140$ and it's the same handheld
175$ is last year's price for that chip when it was "new"

[primal grove]

🤷🏼 thankfully nobody is forcing us to buy it now 😄

[bronze jolt]

Apart from the screen

[oak umbra]

406H has better joystick positions

[oak umbra]

Or ever 😆

[primal grove]

exactly 😄 it's not like anbernic is bursting into your house and threatening to have sex with your handhelds while giving intense eye contact unless you buy it 😛

[velvet nebula]

Hard pass if this is accurate. If the ayaneo air mini is $140, this thing is doa

For me anyway

Shame, this has potential

[twilit edge]

This has a 4.7" 120hz screen tho. The AyaNeo one is only 4.2" right? Do we know its refresh rate yet?

[oak abyss]

I think the only reason to grab a t820 if you have an odin 2 is for a more pocketable carry with you handheld, but then why wouldn’t you just get one of the h700 devices or another Linux guy and use that for gba and below when your out and about.

[pliant barn]

i think it's the screen size is the saviour

[still goblet]

175? They're really milking this screen

[pliant barn]

and there's a market for the middle range that can play up to saturn comfortably

but yeah they need to bring the price down to 150$

[placid thorn]

60hz, or else we would know it's 120hz

[warm marsh]

you really trusting ayaneo?

[velvet nebula]

Trust what?

[copper coral]

Are you trusting Anbernic?

Cause like, AYANEO can be pretty bad, but they at least look like they’re trying to do better nowadays.

[warm marsh]

will anbernic wipe my system data randomly like the pocket air?

[copper coral]

Surprisingly enough, yes actually. It’s the whole reason I had to install GammaOS to my RG505 since I had to use an unbricker to fix the issue.

[velvet nebula]

Will the screen have ghost touches, like the Odin 2?

Can say that about any Chinese handheld manufacturer

[warm marsh]

oh yeah the 505 fried itself easily

sucked because I liked mine alot

[copper coral]

Meanwhile I was using my Pocket Micro for a long as time, and now using the Pocket Ace for almost an equally long time, and neither have had any issues with the software beyond some weirdness in updating the Pocket Micro’s built-in controller.

[warm marsh]

also the screen is the same as the slide so it should be 120 hertz

[copper coral]

Although the main issue with AYANEO was usually more often the hardware. Which is why I mentioned that it’s good how they look like they’re trying to do better nowadays.

[frigid sequoia]

this screen is the star of the show for sure

[copper coral]

So that we get less of this.

[warm marsh]

bfi on da super nintendo 🔥🔥🔥

[frigid sequoia]

4.7" means its even bigger for 4:3 than the rp5, almost as big as the new odin 3/thor screen

[copper coral]

Meanwhile, Anbernic still is doing this level of shit from my own experience.

[frigid sequoia]

also no persistance issues like the rp5 screen and double the refresh rate

[placid thorn]

4.9" for 4:3 on 6" 16:9, tiny ass Anbernic screen

[primal grove]

good to see we have this company vs company dickslinging today 😄

[frigid sequoia]

0.2" for 160 usd vs 300+?

[placid thorn]

$479

[copper coral]

God damnit, we’ve already done this.

[frigid sequoia]

honestly if the thor were dpad top I'd have ordered one already lol

but that dpad does not look usable

[copper coral]

How are we just repeating the loop?

[placid thorn]

it totally won't be, it's going to be worse than on the 3DS for sure

[frigid sequoia]

476SP wen

[warm marsh]

both handhelds will be used to play super mario world

[placid thorn]

https://tenor.com/view/kevbo9-gif-9791840996518302524

[warm marsh]

[placid thorn]

what else, do you expect me to Winlator on any of these, like the Odin 3?

[warm marsh]

winlator fans when you show them a fun emulator to use i think idk

hate using winlator its so jank

[copper coral]

Oh, you mean like Linux Fans?

[still goblet]

Winlator is kind of addicting, like playing the lottery to see if a game runs or not

[placid thorn]

gotta put Retroarch and Dolphin on there and call it a day, if at all

[oak umbra]

Mario World can only be played on the 35XX

[warm marsh]

https://tenor.com/view/rea-solunarisse-pdd-true-gif-2629435889107690133

[mint venture]

tell that to the people that slept on the early bird rg477m pricing

[still goblet]

The Rg477m 12gb model can be found for $220 right now

It always pays to wait with acknerbic

[compact crystal]

I have not seen this price for Europe!

[still goblet]

Look for the crownpuff spreadsheet

[fleet stag]

You could even say something similar about the great manufacturers out there like Nintendo for example. Stick drift and connection problems with the joy cons were a big deal with the first Switch.

[compact crystal]

No such discount for Europe as said.

[still goblet]

Well I mean I didn't say €220 I said $220

[bronze jolt]

Basically the same thing

[nocturne sparrow]

How much this cost

[unique forge]

~170

[nocturne sparrow]

Hmmm

[unique forge]

same as rgSlide, but a larger 4:3 screen

[nocturne sparrow]

I thought RG slide had the same screen

[unique forge]

both are 4.7" ltps and laminated. huh

for some reason, i thought the rgslide was smaller and pocketable, not as thick as the 406v

[placid thorn]

the Slide is a fucking brick

[primal grove]

slide is a very weird thing

[twilit edge]

I wanted to love the Slide so much lol. That thing is unloveable

[wintry carbon]

The screen on this and the 477 a.m. and also the slide is probably one of my favorite ever screens even though it's not oled it just looks freaking awesome at 120 Hertz with that huge 4:3 screen

[bronze jolt]

Does the 120hz make much difference playing for instance 16 bit games ?

Over 60hz

[placid thorn]

BFI, if you like that

[mint venture]

not by default but you can do fancy shit like BFI or CRT Beam Simulator to improve motion clarity

[bronze jolt]

Yeah was wondering other than bfi

BFI really interests me but then I keep reading everyone sees it differently, some don’t like it etc

[late isle]

Might be useful for certain crt shaders or something like that. I heard 240hz enables a premium crt shader

Not sure about the details

[mint venture]

it may also help a little bit with input lag

[late isle]

Oh for sure

[mint venture]

basically it's a nice to have, but not a must

for my taste the difference is extremely tiny and I'd rather save the battery life lol

[velvet nebula]

Does 120 hz screen drain the battery anymore than a 60 hz?

[shrewd prairie]

ofc

[frosty swallow]

What would be nice is if this pushes more companies into developing higher end devices with (good) 4:3 screens

16:9 is a waste

You can laugh but 95% of my gaming is at 4:3 and there are a glut of 16:9 devices already.

[twilit edge]

I wonder if the Retroid founder guy really did mortgage his house to fund a OLED 4:3 screen

[placid thorn]

lets hope so or else he will have a hard time selling anything to me

[peak chasm]

it will retail for $174.99 (excluding shipping), and there will be an early bird offer in the first 72 hours of pre-orders, which will reduce the handheld to $159.99.

[oak umbra]

RIP RG476H

[frigid sequoia]

so msrp is $15 cheaper than the slide and $8 more than the 406h

We knew it was gonna be somewhere in that $23 window lol

[echo cargo]

Yeah not surprised by any mean but I’ll wait for it to god on sale in 2 months hah

[velvet nebula]

It'll be $120ish before the end of the year

Hard pass at $160 for a t820 device. Weak sauce.

For ~$30 more, get the rp mini that will run circles around this, emulation wise, and has OLED

[placid thorn]

but a dinky 8:7 screen instead of big 4:3

no shade on the Mini V2 tho

but the 4.7" display on this is awesome

[austere goblet]

this

I want the anbernic face buttons and dpad over then MINI V2

[upbeat yoke]

Yeah there’s no way I’d get the Mini V2 for 4:3, that thing is tiny

[austere goblet]

Mini is good but the button are a miss

[mint venture]

buttons are very easy to mod actually! I replaced the rubber membrane behind them with one from a mm+ on mine and they are golden now

now I just wish it had a more classic Nintendo style dpad rather than a clicky vita one

[austere goblet]

for 220 dollars should not have to mod

[mint venture]

I agree, but hey better than not having a solution

[austere goblet]

I did this with a rp3 membrane still lacks compare to most anbernic handhelds

[mint venture]

um, the rp3 buttons are also clacky, I wouldn't use that membrane

with an mm+ membrane they are very close to Anbernic style

[austere goblet]

does make much of difference. plus you have to buy those making the v2 mini now 240ish and still not a real fix. so for some to say just get the rp mini and spend 2 hours and more money trying to fix it does compute to me

[frosty swallow]

I'll wait for reviews and sales. I generally like Anbernic buttons and I like the screen. I really don't care about playing PS2 or Gamecube on a handheld really - for those I'd rather play in my living room. For all the people that dismiss this outright just because of PS2/GC performance, I feel the same way about compromising on screen size. 120hz, correct aspect ratio, and 2x integer scale is more important to me than performance on games I'm not going to play on a handheld anyway.

[frigid sequoia]

some people are willing to wait three months to save $40, others would rather just skip a few fast food runs

[frigid sequoia]

yeah android sixth gen and up is still far enough behind x86 that I'd rather use a PC (handheld or otherwise) for those games

[unique forge]

i'd be interested in this if I didn't have the Cube, but i support its existence as someone with two t820's

[sullen cave]

I have a 477m and I still plan on getting the indigo 476h. The screen is too good.

[unique forge]

477 and 557 are both good upper limit android devices. it would be nice if anbernic did x86 again so they can fully cover 7th-gen emulation and pc gaming

[icy elk]

ill wait for aliexpress coupons
if it wasnt 160 + tax + 15 usd shipping id get it (it's about 200 USD as a canadian)

[unique forge]

there should at least be a 15usd coupon AT LAUNCH

[icy elk]

its already 15 usd off

unless you mean another 15 for free shipping, that'd be nice

[patent compass]

It's 160 after $15 off coupon

[unique forge]

YEAH

[frigid sequoia]

I have a 406v atm

looking at this as a way of getting 120hz + 0.7" bigger screen in a similar sized device

devices in that kinda 40xxH -> rp5 size bracket are the best size for an airplane

[lucid silo]

FWIW I've been firming up the global BFI implementation on GammaOS to prevent image retention, these panels still get it with raw dogging BFI. Making good progress now with built in polarity switching at 120hz BFI

[pliant barn]

yeah same for me, i've sold my O2 Portal to upgrade my pc and ive dabbled in PCSX2 and wow the difference in stability and performance for x86 is noticeable

my mindset now have changed to handhelds now at least be able to handle PSP well then ill buy it

no need for more power

if the price of the 476h is around the same as the 406h/v here in malaysia then i'll go for that

welp at least anbernic has a new screen to milk with lol, hoping for a flip SP handheld from them with this screen

to compete with the Flip 2

[civic cypress]

How much was it selling in MSIA for the 406h/v? ty

[pliant barn]

around rm 700-rm 750

although sometimes on shoppee my it can go on sales and can get them below 700

whilst the RP5 is selling around 1000 - 1100 ringgit here

so around 230$ ~

[thorny musk]

It’s the buttons, not the membrane. Aftermarket resin buttons are a massive improvement. But I agree it sucks they haven’t figured out face buttons on a $200+ device while Anbernic has been pretty much nailing it on every device besides their flips

But I’d rather there be a simple $25 fix than no fix at all. I’ve sold two devices I really wanted to love but couldn’t simply due to them having bad face buttons and I found there was no viable solution: RG 35xxsp and Ayaneo Geek.

T820 Confirmed

It is very confusing this has analog triggers and 477M has inline 🤔

[upbeat yoke]

just lemme buy it

[upbeat yoke]

I feel like the 477M has inline because they were set on making a metal console and it's probably cheaper to not have that shape that the stacked analog triggers needs in the metal

[dark laurel]

True. Just feels odd to give the device with more power inline 🤷🏻‍♂️

[upbeat yoke]

oh 100%, I'm sure as soon as they make a 477H it'll have analog triggers

although they've done weird stuff before I'm sure

[placid thorn]

yeah because cnc-ing those trigger bumps into the 477 shell would be expensive, but it's simple on plastic duh

[dark laurel]

Fair enough 🤷🏻‍♂️

[placid thorn]

UFS2.2 is kinda wild, wasn't it 3.1 on the other rg006 models?

[oak umbra]

But be sure that the coming 477H won't have these cool colors.

[open mantle]

Anbernic doesn't make sense most of the time. So normal for them lol

[upbeat yoke]

I'm going to guess it'll have a retro colour grey but with wrong buttons, a transparent one that looks a bit gross, and brown

[oak umbra]

The rule is black , white with huge black bezels and smokey purple that looks brown

[compact crystal]

Expected but sad 😞

[primal grove]

Was going to happen lol

[random viper]

Late bird it is 😂

[late isle]

Looked it up, and apparently it’s not

Which is so weird, how come I’ve never noticed, always assumed it’s 3.1

[echo cargo]

Transparent Burt Orange (brown)

[pliant barn]

I'm in the hopium camp that they are holding out on the 477H in time for when the rp6 gonna be released

Which might be right around Nov

[unborn lintel]

price?

[open mantle]

I don't think it's been revealed yet. Similar to other devices with same chip I'm sure.

[still goblet]

#🔥│upcoming-chat message

[unborn lintel]

rp4p remains the king

[still goblet]

This is ayaneos opportunity to give the pocket air mini a g1 gen 2 of d1200

[unborn lintel]

I can't believe I'm saying this but ayaneo has a better shot at providibg good value

[still goblet]

After how good the konkr prices are I actually think they'll pull something off

[unborn lintel]

ayaneo providing good value still seems so strange to me

[runic cargo]

It was confirmed when the model number ended in a 6

[unique forge]

some people are too dumb for that, dude

[dark laurel]

Indeed. But now it is confirmed by anbernic

[unique forge]

just... have some patience.

it's like explaining any of this to my brother with four kids and a car shop to run. he just doesn't care. got him a Switch, because that's the simplest move.

Retro Dodo (@retro_dodo)

ANBERNIC changed their mind, it is now going to be $164.99.

QRT: retro_dodo
ANBERNIC has confirmed with us that the price of the upcoming RG476H will be $174.99.

vxTwitter / fixvx · Sep 10, 2025, 9:09 AM

wow they actually brought it down to 150 for 72h

[twilit edge]

About time these "6" devices got cheaper tbf

They charge so bloody much for shipping though, i always feel the advertised price is a bit disingenuous

[icy elk]

im not sure why people always have to debate what chip a new device might be 😅
anbernic has been consistent with their number system

[placid thorn]

interesting, not that it really matters with these low end handhelds

[unborn lintel]

I changed my mind

anbernic

👏 👏 They've done it

[still goblet]

I mean still $175 retail

[shrewd prairie]

still horrible

[unborn lintel]

150 is actually competitive enough with the rp4p

a few months later the price is gonna drop anyway

[placid thorn]

165

[unborn lintel]

until we see it go lower than even 150

[placid thorn]

it would be somewhat competitive if they release it while Ali sales are still going

[shrewd prairie]

😄

1100 vs T820 epic battle

like Tyson vs common kid

[still goblet]

I guess that's decent

Still, would've preferred a d8300 at $200

[shrewd prairie]

i think that come soon

[placid thorn]

will come later for sure, probably stick on top + ergos tho

[sour carbon]

Now I understand why they removed the 8gb model for RG477M

[unborn lintel]

except the rg476h has a 120hz high resolution custom screen

much better overall

[shrewd prairie]

who care

screen most of case wont be ur limit

[unborn lintel]

if you only care about preformance than buy steamdeck

[shrewd prairie]

soc always

[open mantle]

Just because you don't care doesn't mean others don't. That's an arrogant mentality.

You might not mean it to come off that way but that's how most people will perceive it.

[shrewd prairie]

I draw conclusions based on the majority opinion. Even here, everyone prioritizes processor power over how cool the screen is.

Fair?

[open mantle]

You can believe what you want. Doesn't bother me, just letting you know that's why people are getting irritated with your responses.

You do you.

[shrewd prairie]

🤔 You're right about something. I mainly judge from my own perspective.

[unborn lintel]

Well, what he wants is probably an rg405h with a sd865 and a 480p screen to keep it cheap

but he shouldn't be rude about his preferences

[shrewd prairie]

um, well that will be good handheld for majority of ps2/gc enjoyers

[unborn lintel]

I personally like to play many systems outside of the home console terretory so the 960p resolution is very impactful to me personally

[shrewd prairie]

but 865 complicated option

it cost like more powerful dimencity, which are still in production

maybe that a reason why its not popular

[unborn lintel]

I think if you tried to understand other people's perspective you wouldn't be so disparaging of newly releasing devices

[shrewd prairie]

I'm glad that new devices are coming out, but they just can't compete with the ones that are already out there

Just look at the comments under the video of this wonderful console, how much joy people get from the T820 for $200

[unborn lintel]

the rg476h is competent with the rp4p if you look at it from a perspective of someone who likes to plays 5th generation and below systems

it should also be okay for lots of gamecube stuff

[shrewd prairie]

that true

[brittle pelican]

if this was true then all handhelds would have 16:9 screens

[shrewd prairie]

why?

they like ps2/gc and below

4:3 is base

3:2 is optimal, and allot (not me) like it

tried it, I didn't like it at all, those bastard stripes...

[unique forge]

there's no point in arguing. He's dead set on not buying and not liking anyone who buys t820 hardware and is only here to troll

[hexed fern]

[late isle]

„There’s no bad processor only bad prices“ type ahh statement

[shrewd prairie]

yeah, u can say the same about everything

[frosty swallow]

≤ $150 is appropriate pricing IMO

[frigid sequoia]

Shame everything about the rp4pro other than the d1100 sucks

[placid thorn]

it's literally only the screen that's quite outdated at this point

[peak chasm]

165 shipped first 3 days, after that 180 shipped

[shrewd prairie]

Well, I don't agree that it's rubbish; it's more like it's been done at a minimum level.

[frosty swallow]

I hope everyone shits on it hard enough that it doesn't sell well and I can get it cheap like 4-5 months from now

[late isle]

$165 and $150 for the first 3 days

[peak chasm]

Yes, has been revealed, early bird 150 ex shipping, after that 165 ex

[open mantle]

yeah i forgot that came out the other day

[late isle]

Ayaneo will be the same price shipped

[unique forge]

so the same price as the 556 when it launched

[late isle]

Because of dhl

[unique forge]

nothing wrong with the cost

[peak chasm]

Ex shipping

[frosty swallow]

https://www.ayaneo.com/product/AYANEO-Pocket-AIR-Mini

[unique forge]

the problem with the 556 was that the gameforce ace was being sold at the same time, so chat was flooded with "lol this gpu is trash" banter by people like Jutley and slaminger

[peak chasm]

Shipping is 15

[frosty swallow]

does this have information on the screen for anyone?

or just COMING SOONtm

[late isle]

It’ll be $30 for ayaneo

[late isle]

You’re right

[bronze jolt]

No new info

[brittle pelican]

don't listen to anyone until they announce the price themselves

[austere goblet]

No official word yet for price? I will wait. So many sour people in here.

[velvet nebula]

Are Anbernic and Ayaneo playing price drop chicken? Who flinches first

[oak umbra]

Plot twist : they're all the same conglomerate company and are playing us all

[primal grove]

First time? 😄

[frosty swallow]

This is super serious business. We need to know the price of all devices before we can even buy them.

[velvet nebula]

I mean, technically, yes

[shrewd prairie]

they wait each other 100% (and if im right, ayaneo t820 lvl or above something)

He also was right about the previous prices of the 477m and slide

So why shouldn’t he be right this time?

When it comes to Anbernic, forthenext has the contacts... If he's skeptical then we should take him seriously

[unique forge]

guys. go outside and touch some grass

[late isle]

deletes paragraph

[shrewd prairie]

404 error

[brittle pelican]

I don't know the price but I know plans change - even Nvidia are changing the price of their GPUs up until the last minute

[balmy mulch]

I doubt they'll drop it below 150 early bird

And tbh, that's about the same price as the 406h so I'd say it's fair

Maybe Ali sales and coupons can get it below that in a couple of months, but as a baseline it ain't bad

[mint venture]

three fiddy best I can do

[mint venture]

what stream?

[late isle]

They’ll definitely reveal the pocket vert in that stream

And hopefully also the air mini chipset with the latter being more unlikely

But we’ll see

[mint venture]

ah gotcha

[random viper]

I wonder if Ayaneo Air Mini will have a headphone jack 😂

[placid thorn]

according to the pictures we have seen it will

[random viper]

Ah okay, optimistic- I have only seen the front image. That was the craziest part about the Pocket Evo to me.

[placid thorn]

I mean to be fully realistic here, I barely have any wired headphones on me these days anymore anyway

so it's not like a do or die feature to me

[frosty swallow]

I love to plug in headphones/ ear phones, but the dacs in these are nothing to write home about a far as using them for a dap.

[random viper]

I think as more of an alternative due to from my experience, Bluetooth headphones having an unfeasible amount of delay

[smoky cape]

https://anbernic.com/blogs/news/rg476h

[still goblet]

I guess they mean no bezels?

[upbeat yoke]

that's what they're saying, but you can fairly clearly see bezels in their demonstration video so I'm not certain

[real imp]

And the bezels aren’t even symmetrical 😭

[balmy mulch]

I like how the retro color doesn't have bezels there while it does in the demonstration

[open mantle]

They mention dual screens. Hmm. Maybe they will make one? Or they just assume others will continue to make add ons? Very curious.

[still goblet]

Hoping the latter

[upbeat yoke]

The latter would be preferable, there doesn't need to be some weird race between all these companies making optional second screens when we already have console races between them

[still goblet]

Fortunately they seem to be actually making a dual screen handheld

[peak chasm]

We will see. Soon.

[balmy mulch]

ooh

ds focused then

interesting

[austere goblet]

I wish

[frigid sequoia]

What do we think, two trimUI brick screen ds lite clone or two slide screen dsi XL clone?

[austere goblet]

I would like either or both

[echo stump]

Both

[icy elk]

maybe in-between?

double 40XX screen

[echo stump]

This too

[icy elk]

sounds like its at least bigger than 3.5"

[twilit edge]

Oh hell yeah

[compact crystal]

Yay some AI!

[patent compass]

There isn't a lot 768p or 960p 4:3 options for this ds clone. I guess they're gonna use 4.2" 768p screens, cheap and matches DSi XL size

[spark agate]

Do we know where Anbernic is getting this great screen from? Custom production?

[compact crystal]

Custom BOE screen.

[upbeat yoke]

When do we expect these to go up for sale? Next couple weeks? I'm pretty keen

[smoky cape]

The only killing this thing for me is the chipset. Would have been better off with the older snapdragon and still could be a cheaper device in comparison to the rg477m

[primal grove]

Anbernic just doesn't do Snapdragon so that's a pipe dream sadly

[velvet nebula]

T820 is such a let down on this device

[bronze jolt]

I’m sure a non-M 477 will come eventually

[unborn lintel]

The brick screen options sounds more special but I would be okay with either

too bad top screen would have a lot of wasted space

would personally like the top screen to be 1080p 16:9

[unborn lintel]

cause otherwise it seems like nostagia pampering

[peak chasm]

September 23th is my expected date, based on historical data ( 19 days between first announcement and release date)

So, 12 more days

[frigid sequoia]

Why?

The NDS screens match

[unborn lintel]

but someone buying such a device may want to get more out of a device than just play ds games

gba and psp both respectively would suffer

I want an all in one device, not a specialist.

If you care about general usage a 4:3 screen on the top would be a waste

It's only for aesthetic purposes

[frigid sequoia]

It sounds like what you want already exists from ayn

[unborn lintel]

And I mean having no black bars is cool and all, but increases the bezel size significantly

[frigid sequoia]

While what anbernic is going for is a 34xx level accurate experience but for NDS not gba

[unborn lintel]

Anbernic is likely making a much cheaper device, and it will have dpad on top.

[unborn lintel]

So they are going for nostalgia

[frigid sequoia]

Also I’m hoping they put the speakers on top next to the screen

[unborn lintel]

which explains why the rg34xx and 34xxsp both had big chunky bezels

[late isle]

Sounds pretty good

Not having to compete with ayn either

[unborn lintel]

the rg34xx shell could almost fit like a 4 inch screen in there if they weren't stubborn about keeping the aspect ratios accurate to what they are mimicking

[frigid sequoia]

My preference would be a straight up ds lite clone with two brick screens

As accurate to the DS lite as the 34xx is to the gba

[unborn lintel]

I guess it makes sense in the context of an attempt at a 1 to 1 replica

but anbernic clearly failed at that with the rg34xxsp when they decided to add sticks to it

[frigid sequoia]

I mean picking up any dual screen handheld to use as a “general purpose” device for single screen systems is always gonna suck

May as well lean in to it being for emulating NDS

[unborn lintel]

Why would it suck?

[frigid sequoia]

Yeah I mean the og 34xx

Not the SP abomination

[frigid sequoia]

Look at the ayn Thor and tell me that for psp, switch, ps2, etc you’d rather have that useless second screen than proper control inset that makes the dpad and right stick usable

At least for the switch you could say terrible dpad ergo is authentic I guess

But the thing is really only laid out “well” for 3ds

[unborn lintel]

Well coming from a New 3ds xl I've played dpad centric games before and while they weren't as comfortable as my dsi xl they were more than just servicable. Not to mention, even if we asume the 2nd screen is useless unless you play ds and 3ds that kinda puts the device in the same type of comfort scenario as any horizontal handhelds.

take the rg476h

dpad centric

less then idea for analog centric games

and yet if we added an upper screen to the device suddenly it would become a "compromise"?

[frigid sequoia]

I mean yes

You’d be adding a lot of weight and size

[unborn lintel]

why do people want to excuse horizontals but not clamshells?

[frigid sequoia]

I like clamshells when they are single screen because it allows for better control ergo

Like on the flip 1

A clamshell with poor ergo and two screens is just a heavier candybar with a fragile hinge whenever you’re not using the second screen

[unborn lintel]

yeah but horizontals never had the luxury of having better control ergo in the 1st place yet I don't see you having an issue with that

[frigid sequoia]

Because they’re making whatever tradeoff between ergo and compactness

Using a dual screen device for snes is losing both

[unborn lintel]

No, because on the clamshell you get a much bigger screen for almost the same size as a horizontal

just a bit thicker

Clamshells have advantages over horizontals even if you give them 2 screens

the only time a dual screen clamshell doesn't make sense if you don't plan on playing any wide systems

or want cheaper prices of course

[frigid sequoia]

or you don't want to give up 25% of your battery size like on the thor vs the other odin 2 models

it's also going to have the worst dpad ergo of any of the odin 2 models

[ionic stag]

Not to mention inset sticks.

There's a reason why no standalone controllers use inset sticks.

Needed on a clamshell if you don't want sliders. But it is a compromise.

[unborn lintel]

pocket friendly horizontals also tend to have inset sticks

[ionic stag]

Yes. Which is a compromise.

[unborn lintel]

well if you don't want sticks catching on your clotches or protruding out of the pocket of your jeans it is a neccesary evil

[ionic stag]

Sure. Just like with clamshells.

[still goblet]

I mean tbh I would rather have the second screen

Ergohnahmix can be fixed with a grip

Honestly I'd prefer it if it had a t820, but it's pretty smart of anbernic to not compete with the widescreen ds options, they would never win that

[unique forge]

kinda miss when the discord had voice chat

you could stream an scrcpy output directly from a handheld and most questions about stuff could be answered in seconds

[balmy mulch]

Damn at this rate it'll be <100 by the time it comes out

[placid thorn]

should be $150 -$10 early bird to compete with the AYA

[twilit edge]

They'll have dropped the price by $10 but increased shipping by $10

[velvet nebula]

Competition in this space is good for consumers

Ayaneo might have gotten their attention with the air mini

[frosty swallow]

I do not see Ayaneo releasing a device under $200

[velvet nebula]

Rumor is the air mini is $140 ish

[frosty swallow]

Idk why it would be that when konkr pocket fit is 240 and that is their "budget" line. Hell the dmg lowest model is over 400

Regular pocket is 443 for the lowest model

Pocket micro is 200

[placid thorn]

KONKR is their AYN competitor

Code-R is their Retroid/Anbernic competitor and the Air Mini belongs to that

[frosty swallow]

I'm just saying, nothing they have ever produced has been offered based on value. If they do it now they'll be undercutting a lot of their current product offerings OR they will have to make severe comrlpromises that will put it on par or worse than the 476h. I honestly hope I'm wrong but Ayaneo pricing has never made sense to me.

[brittle pelican]

i3 1215u ayaneo air plus was alright

it was pretty damn cheap

[primal grove]

only at first before the prices more than doubled if you remember 😄 they did give a limited number at the original advertised price at least

[mint venture]

still no review units?

thought they'd ship them by now

[still goblet]

Rg477v when

[unborn lintel]

not pocketable

[still goblet]

Neither was the rg406h or the rg406v

Might as well fully commit

[velvet nebula]

That’s called the rg slide

[still goblet]

Nah

[unborn lintel]

it wasn't?

[still goblet]

The sticks commonly pop off if you try to pocket them

Getting a grip case doesn't really fix the issue either because of how tall the sticks are the case just turns it into a brick

Iirc it was around 1.5 inches thick when I measured it on my rg406h

[mint venture]

I guess review units did go out but Anbernic put a dumb embargo again

[unborn lintel]

from what I've mesured the 4.7 inch screen is only pocketable with clamshells, horizontals and well slides

it's way too wide on a vertical to comfortably fit in pockets
