I ordered the original last night. It will be my first retro console. Once I get the hang of it and played it enough, I'll donate it to my little nephew and upgrade to the plus sometime next year.
I really wanted to order the white, but think over time it'll annoy me and regret not going for the trans black, so I'm going to order the black version!
I ordered one of these the other day and I'm really glad you got the black one because most of the other videos on TH-cam are showing the white and retro colored ones but I think the black looks pretty slick.
Bo thanks for the quick rundown. I like that black color option. I shoulda checked Amazon before I ordered straight from Anbernic in China lol. Mine should arrive this week, hopefully. Also thanks for trying out MvC2 on the Dreamcast emulator. It’s a kind of processor intensive game to run. I’m happy that it’s playable without any slowdown or sound skipping on this model.
No problem. Thanks for watching! It only showed up on Amazon about 5 days ago, but I'm SHOCKED it was that fast. I didn't think I'd see it on there until January. It seems like this new processor has some real juice. It handled that game with no signs of strain. And once the open source community gets a hold of this I bet we're going to see some great custom firmware options that will take advantage of that power. 👍
The black looks fantastic! The original is one of my most played gaming devices of this past year. But yeah, I’d recommend this new one over it. The edition of WiFi alone makes it worth it. Thanks for watching!
Thanks. In your opinion, when it comes to an actual emulation use case, do you think that a RK3566 device can do more than this one assuming custom firmware is available ? I mean, is there a system which is out of reach for this one but that a RK3566 could handle, or a system which could get upscale while it would remain low res on this one ?
Yes. The RK3566 is still a little more powerful. You’ll get better frame rates from Dreamcast, DS, and other 3D systems. Also, a system with joysticks will be better suited for those types of games. So I wouldn’t buy this for N64 for example. The 3D systems are like really awesome bonuses to have on this device.
For the long haul - absolutely the RG35XX Plus. The firmware on the original is better right now, but I’m confident that will change in the next three months, and you’ll be a lot happier with the Plus a year from now. I have a video coming soon about this very topic. Thanks for watching! 🙂
I bought rg35xx plus. I do have concern about their sd card. Should use our own sd card ? Whats the process like, can it be simply copy and paste from their original card ?
Cool. Yeah, it looks like some of them are shipping with a card from KIOXIA. If you get that card I think you'll be good. They seem to make good cards from my experience and what I've seen from others. But if you got a plain black card with no name on it, I would consider picking up a new card. You can't just copy and paste though. There's an install process. I made an installation video you can check out. The OS that I install in the video won't work on this device YET, but the process will be the same. You can watch it to see how complicated it will be. It's not hard if you know what to do. Here's a link to it if you want to see that process: th-cam.com/video/CfaKPAf6ZpU/w-d-xo.html Happy gaming, friend!
Hello nice review thanks, i have question is it possible to connect with xbox wireless gamepad withou OTG… or without any cable…. And also may i use my ipad pro scream streaming, screen sharing (sorry for my english) thank you :)i hope you understand what i mean…
You should be able to connect a bluetooth controller. There is an option to do that in the settings. But I was not able to get my Xbox controller to connect. There are actually a lot of bugs in the stock OS that I know they're working on. So I think in a month of two this will be fixed. Also, if you have a mini HDMI cable and a capture card, I believe you could use your ipad pro as an external display as us iPadOS 17. I haven't tested this personally though. Hope that helps!
Hmm... I don't know! I'll have to investigate and see if it can. Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! I loved the original 35XX in the classic colour!
Haha. They are from Eye Buy Direct. Use my referral link and get $10 off your purchase! 🤓 www.eyebuydirect.com/referral/8952850 These were called "Eclipse".
That stinks. The good news is that everything is installed on the sd card. If you install Anbernic’s firmware or a custom firmware like Knulli on a new sd card, it should boot up like new.
That’s cool. I reviewed that earlier this year. It’s a great device. I like this one better because it’s a little bigger and I think it’s more comfortable to hold. But I’m glad you’re enjoying the Miyoo Mini + so much!
This is probably the best vertical handheld in the $60 price range right now, but if I were you I would also consider the Anbernic RG35XX H. It has all the same specs, but it also includes thumbsticks for about $5 more. I’ll have a video out about it in a couple of days because mine’s coming in the mail today!

Good plan. I’m sure you’ll both love it. 🙂
literally just canceled my order on the white model to instead get the black tp after seeing this.. looks amazing
😂 I know right! I’m actually surprised how great it looks. I thought the translucent plastic would make it look cheap, but I was wrong!
I really wanted to order the white, but think over time it'll annoy me and regret not going for the trans black, so I'm going to order the black version!
The black won’t show dirt and smudges as much over time I’m sure. It looks really nice!👍
I ordered one of these the other day and I'm really glad you got the black one because most of the other videos on TH-cam are showing the white and retro colored ones but I think the black looks pretty slick.
It looks incredible. I was afraid I would think the translucent color would make it look cheap. But I was wrong. I really like it!
I ordered black too just waiting on it to be delivered. I think looking at yours I made right choice🙂
It looks fantastic! I think you made the right choice too. 👍👍

Great video! This device looks so cool! I love the black transparent for sure. I don’t have the original rg35xx do you recommend getting this one?
The black looks fantastic! The original is one of my most played gaming devices of this past year. But yeah, I’d recommend this new one over it. The edition of WiFi alone makes it worth it. Thanks for watching!
Looks cool - if I buy this with the 64gb card - will it have all the Pokemon games pre installed on it? Looking to play the original.
I think so, but I’ll have to check when I get home. I know there are some on there.
I’d love to have a full list of every console this comes with, and also their store page mentions ports, does it come with any independent ports?
I’ll try to cover that in my full review. 🙂

Lol I had the exact thing happened to me. Ordered a black one took to long to ship. Ordered a white one and just got it. I love it
It’s great! My white one is still on the way, but who knows when it will get here. 🚢🐪🚲🚚
The black one I Ordered still hasen't shipped. Dunno whats up with that@@BoKnowsGaming
Idk 🤷♂️ My original one has shipped and is in the US now. I should get it within a week.
which is better for the long run/haul, the anbernic RG35XX or the anbernic RG35XX Plus?
For the long haul - absolutely the RG35XX Plus. The firmware on the original is better right now, but I’m confident that will change in the next three months, and you’ll be a lot happier with the Plus a year from now. I have a video coming soon about this very topic. Thanks for watching! 🙂
@@BoKnowsGaming ty
YW!
Does have to charge it when you unbox it first time? Mine comes with no battery
They usually ship with about 75% battery.
I bought rg35xx plus. I do have concern about their sd card. Should use our own sd card ? Whats the process like, can it be simply copy and paste from their original card ?

Could you please check if it can handle this dreamcast games sega gt, plasma sword, project justice, ufc, jet grind radio
I probably won't have time to test ALL of those, but I'll try to check out one or two. 🙂
can this be used to play mp3 music? i ordered the same but in clasic colour cant wait to play nice video you made
Hmm... I don't know! I'll have to investigate and see if it can. Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it! I loved the original 35XX in the classic colour!
Where are your glasses from?
Haha. They are from Eye Buy Direct. Use my referral link and get $10 off your purchase! 🤓 www.eyebuydirect.com/referral/8952850 These were called "Eclipse".
I got one yesterday, I get stuck on the anbernic loading screen and never moves after that so idk what to do

@@BoKnowsGaming they are sending me another card, if that doesn’t work then I will be using my own card
@@robertgriffith212 oh cool! I’m glad they’re making it right. 👍
Does it come with usb cable c? Or not
It comes with a USB type A to USB type C charging cable.
Still like the miyoo mini+ more :(
Why?
That’s cool. I reviewed that earlier this year. It’s a great device. I like this one better because it’s a little bigger and I think it’s more comfortable to hold. But I’m glad you’re enjoying the Miyoo Mini + so much!
@@BoKnowsGamingit’s possible to install Garlic OS on this RG35XX Plus?
It is. Garlic OS 2.0 is available, but it looks like for now the stock OS is actually working better. I bet in a month or so that will change though.
Stop being so fake happy about it
@@TimmyJoePCTech Ok ✅ That’ll be easy since I’m genuinely happy. I hope you are too!
@@BoKnowsGaming people who insert green check emojis in their replies are psychopaths
@@TimmyJoePCTech Interesting theory. 🐢🌤️🍔🏄♂️🧸⏯️
Is this the best one? Or new one coming out:?
This is probably the best vertical handheld in the $60 price range right now, but if I were you I would also consider the Anbernic RG35XX H.
