Joelster here, this video is long so I added timestamps so you can jump to specific topics, thank you for supporting my channel, you guys rock.!!
It was an easy choice for me. $50 vs $90, pocketable vs a bit awkward, same effective screen size on most platforms, and virtually the same game compatibility and user experience (after upgrading the OS), so I went with the cheaper one.
complete opposite for me. :D Easy choice because the RGB30 was on sale for $60 so only $10 more than the RG35XX-H, pocketable and more ergonomic for adult size hands vs awkward narrow size, much bigger screen (and sharper resolution) for the most used systems these handhelds play (Pico-8, GB/GBC/NGP/GG/PCE, even NES and SNES because they have a internal aspect ration of 8/7 and many games, especially from nintendo, look better in 8/7 than 4/3 because they were stretched) and exactly the same size screen for other 4/3 content, bigger battery, so it made sense to go with the RGB30.
Can you easily put in the new roms?
@@danthaman03 It has wifi and syncthing, so bidirectional automatic sync with other devices. To add files, just put them in a sync folder and wait a few seconds.
Both are 50 on Ali rn
@@wulf2863no way one is 58€ and the other is 90€
Thx for the comparison of these devices. I already have the rgb30 but saw how cheap the rg33xx h was on Ali and was tempted to own one. So similar in form but now that I’ve seen the actual size/height of the rg33xx h is, I’m definitely gonna struggle with my hands for those buttons. Nice one.
The rg35xx-H and plus are going dirt cheap right now, while not perfect they really hit a good spot, the screen is perfect for 4:3 ratios and its tiny great fit on pocket, power is enough up to some dreamcast but would not use it for psp it just doesnt look good on that screen and also lacks power to run most games with current price sale offer is really hard not to recommend also custom firmware is getting there batocera has done some amazing leaps towards a stable build.
how did the Pokémon ds games run? if you tried them at all i ordered mine about 4 days ago it comes in soon and i really only got it to emulate the Pokémon games,
@@ZyneNull not sure, haven't tried Nintendo DS, but seen videos that it can run it, if pokemon games work no clue can't help you there, only use it for arcade , SNES etc, some Dreamcast is as far as I use it, PSP looks weird on the screen so dont use it also N64 controls are always a pain so I don't use it either.
Ive got both. I prefer the RGB30 due to the more high quality and specialized screen. The only thing I like more on the H is the dpad. I upgraded the dpad on the RGB30 recently and now i prefer everything about it above the H, however, you shouldn't have to modify a device for it to work correctly. They're BOTH great devices and i would recommend either. Great review! You've really got a nack for this!
Yes I keep using them both all the time 😅, thanks, Im glad you enjoyed the video.!!
how did you mod the dpad
What D-pad did you use to replace it?
D pad is much better on the rg35xx h. Major factor for me personally.
It's an easy fix
.. With the fact that Portmaster now supports the 35xx, and 35xx H, one cant beat the 35xx H for that price.
Thank you for the review 👍. Can you please make a video how to copy the SD card to a another one ?
Thanks Joelster
I love my RGB30, esp after I installed the new AmberElec. I kinna wish it had a more premium feel, but no real complaints. Thank you for the review.
Hey mate, i googled a bit but can't find anything about AmberElec on RGB30. Do you mind throwing a link to me (or even just an hint on where i should look info about this release)?
@@LordAzuren eek that’s because I updated my old *rg351v*, not my rgb30… but then I’ve been playing my rgb30, so I confused myself and everyone. ;) Sorry about that!
the RGB30 would seem like the perfect device to watch old tv shows on like toku or doctor who
Hello! I am stuck with choosing device for gaming. I have a big palms and I cant use devices like Game Boy format. This one in your video looks like a good decision. Can you recommend any other stuff like this, please? Sorry for my bad English
Price wise the RGB30 is £52 with the Google discount code. From whatgeek UK i have 2 white and blue ARKOS on one JELOS on the other. Great device.
Google discount??? What's the scoop?
the RGB30 is also good for some SNES games like super mario world (because the game can stretch to 1:1 and be lookin good)
Great Video...! Sad that JELOS is done. They are no longer going to make updates, the team that made JELOS is making new OS called ROCKNIX. I just started using JELOS about 2 weeks ago on my AYN Loki Max and I love it. I am looking for a smaller device like the RGB30, but it is disappointing that it only has 1GB of RAM, I wish it have 4GB.
Wow, I didn't know that, yes Ram makes a big difference.
Never seen ya before. You just popped into my feed and im happy you did. I sub'd up and rang the bell. Great review, good sir🙂
Oh thank you 🙏 and welcome to the channel 😃
The prices are not very different in my country, which one can give a better performance? In terms of fps and graphics?
Nice comparison vid bro
Glad you liked it
oh wow onionOS for the RG35XX H (ngl this is gonna be cool)
I like your "hadoukens" and your "ALL YOU CAN!" (shoryuken) 🤣 I used to yell that out too back in the day. Love the channel, just liked and subscribed! I just received my PowKiddy rgb30 and I'm loving it so far. However I'm a little concerned as the unit I ordered off Amazon had a warning sticker on the sleeve "Please avoid updating the system to prevent potential usability issues?" Because of that I haven't bothered messing with any of the settings or connecting to WiFi in case it's been tampered with. I ordered off Amazon and it didn't come sealed in a box, but I assume it was because they preload it with 20k+ games on and put it in a nice portable case and even included a screen protector. Am I being too paranoid? I don't want to take any chances so I'm just enjoying the nostalgia of playing all my favorite games.
Thanks for subscribing 😃, I've never seen that label before, i do update my rgb30 and it works fine, no issues.
😊
I got the 35xx h because the powkiddy was 20 bucks more but it went on sale right after mine came for just 5 bucks more so I definitely regret going with the 35xx h
Yes they constantly go on sale.
Apples to oranges comparison. Fairer would have been rgb30 vs anbernic 353ps or powkiddy rgb10max3
Rgb30 rulz! Pico8 is incredible on it🎉.. So is SNES, X68K and more
I just wish it had 1 more gig of ram
Some times the tic Tok shop has discounts lowest I saw was 32$ USD 40% off coupon but the sales change almost daily came out to 38$ total
@stevengonzalez8931 Wow thats super cheap.!!
The Price for the RGB30 skyrocketed lately on Amazon. In Germany it's €138...
Scheiß auf amazon.. Aliexpress!
Warum 200% zahlen und die Hälfte irgendeinem dritten hinten reinzuschieben
What about Street Fighter? Which D-pad is the easiest to do a special move with?
Rg35xx H is better.
I got both from Aliexpress's anniversary sale for the same cost as buying RGB30 from amazon.
Thats a great deal.
Bro, SNES originally had a 8:7 aspect ratio. Almost square. Maybe you can change that on the RGB30, probably on RetroArch configs, so SNES games will be almost on full screen :)
I'd love to have a RGB30 really, but the price wasn't up my alley. Instead I got exactly the RG35XXH for $49, quite a steal, it's coming in around 2 weeks :)
the RGB30 was on sale for under $60 just a couple of days ago. And yes you can config SNES to 8:7 and many games look better that way because they are not stretched and you get a bigger picture which looks amazing compared to my Miyoo Mini Plus (same size screen as RG35XX-H). :)
Rgb30 is where its at,,8:7 on most nintendo games is awesome
Nice video ❤❤
How’s the screen bleed on the rgb30? I had to return 2 of them because of this issue.
I think it's a problem with the saler if not then.
Do this code on ur screen bleed (Start, down, down, A, down, down, down, down, down, right, right ,right)
I think you just have a brightness problem.
can you test the dj max (psp) pleas 🥺🥺🥺
RGB30 for the win, bigger screen and the thumb sticks are more ergonomic but the RG35Xxh has better battery life
Ergonomic did it for me 😅.
Personally I prefer a 4 inch 4x3 display it would be more practical than 1x1 display
Don't update JelOS yet. The latest Version renders your device useless, leaving you with no audio output. They still haven't fixed it, yet.
Oh ok, yes i see new update available window but i haven't done it.
@@JoelsterG4kJust FYI, JelOS is dead, they EOL’d support for RGB30 and other devices. Some of the devs of the JelOS team have moved on and forked JelOS to Rocknix, it’s in beta. At this point, ArkOS is probably better suited for the RGB30.
You can update your existing JelOS by copying the Rocknix Update file to the root of your sd-card.
After copying, rename the "Rocknix"-part of the Update-file to "JelOS" and boot up your device.
@@richardbae Yes, the brightness/volume controls are a bit off, right now. Screen is too dim and it boots up with max. Volume on the RGB30. But i wouldn't change to ArkOS just for these issues. Just give them a little time to fix the issues. At least you have sound again.
I got the RGB30 for $58 and RG35XXH for $36, so I'm happy with both 😁
From where? Please share link. Thanks
Which one do you think is better
Will you compare these two with Trimui Smart Pro?
Hmmm I didn't think of that, maybe I will.
Thats a chunky boy!
I will leave a link to the Bithio Lol
Yes en ingles, taka taka en japones, Oui oui en frances.
RGB30 is great.
The rgb30 looks so weird. 🥴
Between both of these, I'd go with the rg405m.
WTF if those prices 😂😂
RGB30 cost 64$ and its from aliexpress
RG35XXH cost 54$ and its from aliexpress
Prices change all the time, when I was making this video they were different.
@@JoelsterG4k its not that, you put dropshipping links (amazon)
The powkiddy choice on screen's aspect ratio puzzles me. It's so nonsense...
Depends. For gameboy and portmaster and horizontal shmups its rather good
Nonsense? Really? Meanwhile, everybody else finds that this is a very sensible choice (for many older systems). If the aspect ratio puzzles you on a device geared for systems that had this or a close to it aspect ratio then I wonder what else puzzles you. The world must be filled with nonsense for you, which, if you are of a curious and inquisitive nature, can be wonderful - so many things to discover...
