Anbernic RG505 Review: CHEAP! Play's Almost ANY Video Game & Remote Play's! One to Rule Them All!

These Anbernic handhelds are insane! Every iteration better than the last. The RG505 has been out for almost a year, and I really wanted to see what it could do. Is it worth the squeeze? Let's take a look and compare it to the SupaBoy Hyper Beach Edition, RG353V, and RG353P. Better option than the upcoming Switch 2?
RG505 vs RG405M & RG 35XX will play Gamecube, Wii, PS2, PSP, N64, Dreamcast, and everything post 32-bit era! This is STILL Anbernic's most powerful chipset currently available! The best handheld gaming setup!
They also have an AMD Radeon chipset, but I haven't seen the WIN600 on the market for some time. It also ranges in price from $300-$500

I just got this sent to me as well. Actually was pretty stoked on how good it played nes and snes (that’s all I really tried) 🎉

[@NEONBattleBitch]

Nice! It's their best option IMHO, def the perfect way to play your fav SNES/NES games on a handheld! 😁

[@robcastvr70]

Finally someone that will explain these consoles in great detail. I just ordered a rg505 and can’t wait

[@RetroMoments]

Haha, I never fast-forward. I like your beautiful intro :D
I have the Supaboy too. I was also a bit disappointed with the quality of the screen.
As for Anbernic, I have the 280V but the RG505 seems awesome. Anbernic has definitely come a long way.

[@NEONBattleBitch]

Yes! I think the 505 is their best value! All their most powerful system (aside from the WIN600)

[@dbozgt]

Awesome review I like how you called the RG505m make it sound like more like professional looking device.

[@CellPhish]

If it only had an M in the name 😊

[@ryanf8683]

Just ordered the smaller 4:3 one, the rg405m. These cheap handheld emulators are so much fun.

[@randyiron2]

I think the 505 would look great with a custom skin. I wish it could also be consolized. I always get a big kick out of the little handhelds being able to have the extra option to do so. No biggie though, most people have a way to play these games on a big screen.

[@duda2k]

Great review, I’m playing mucho on my RG505 than RP3+, it’s direct competitor. One advice: Try to flash the custom Android Gamma Os, it gives a whole new level of experience and performance to RG505.

[@suhtangwong]

I got the rp3+ and it's amazing! Jw, What makes you prefer the rg over that? I prefer the stacked shoulders and layout (except select/start, not ideal)

[@pathoftheuknown9709]

I think I wouldn’t mind getting the RG505 looks pretty descent and the control pad needs to feel right for my fighting games it’s amazing how so many good handhelds there are now

[@greysymphonyearth]

My front end doesnt work. I have lots of games but non of them show up in the front end. It scans for them but they dont show up. Weird.

[@derekned]

You can toggle the aspect ratio of the Supaboy screen by holding the brightness button for a few seconds. I don't know why they make 16:9 the default.

[@retropalooza]

I got sent here from my boss to write a gaming article....what have I stumbled into

[@user-xy6lo7bq9j]

Is there a way to unlock the ANBERNIC RG505 gaming device pattern as it was locked by the child and he did not remember the code. Thank you.

[@robcastvr70]

I currently have and sending it back the powkiddy rgb 10 max 3. Don’t get this one. Build quality and charging issues.

[@lordlex6315]

Thanks for the review👍

[@NEONBattleBitch]

Very Welcome!

[@CellPhish]

It’s a bigger RG405M which is probably the most popular pocketable handheld right now

[@NEONBattleBitch]

And an IPS screen, also costs less than the 405, for some reason.

[@CellPhish]

Yes the OLED screen from the PS Vita. Along with hall sticks and if you put GammaOS on it then it will fix the over saturation and get ride of Anbernics silly front end

[@seman2412]

does minecraft (android) run well on ?

[@Bo_Knows_Tecmo]

This thing is a beast. Oled screen 4gb ram Hall effect joysticks and 5000 mAh battery

[@NEONBattleBitch]

💯

[@brucepthegod]

I installed custom firmware on my 3DS, so i’ve been reluctant to jump into getting one of these, but dc emulation sweetens the deal a bit, but why does it look like it stretches everything to 16:9 ? Maybe a future model will have hdmi out or a dock ?

[@NEONBattleBitch]

Not sure, I think the 405M (which is the same chipset) may have HDMI out

[@PrinceofPeace2000]

Do these hand helds have the save options?

[@NEONBattleBitch]

Yes, save states

[@glimmeringharpy]

Amazing coverage as always, lovely! 🎉❤

[@NEONBattleBitch]

[@kevinclauson7613]

yeah supa boy screen doesn't look that good, I suppose 6 hours of play on anbernic is good enough, a 5000mah battery is really big and expected it to last longer, chick at the end sounds like fran drescher lol

[@princemendez106]

Damn this latina be playin good
