As requested in the Anbernic RG353V deal is the more budget friendly Anbernic RG35XX shipping from GeekBuying with free priority shipping. With the stock OS it supports about 15 different game systems including arcade and up to the PS1. With the custom GarlicOS it supports over 30 different systems.

Like the RG353V this has a Gameboy inspired design with a classic dpad, 3.5" IPS display with 4:3 aspect ratio, HDMI output, dual MicroSD slots, 3.5mm audio jack, single speaker, USB-C charging and battery life up to 5 hours. In terms of size it's smaller than the RG353V and bigger than the Miyoo Mini.

    For those looking for microSD

    $15 for Samsung EVO Plus 128GB

  • Here's a handy chart of the GarlicOS hotkeys. Brightness adjust also works in-game.

    • if you hold the menu button, it' gives you this on the device.

      • True, the in-game ones though I didn't realise until finding out there was hotkeys at all :)
        I had accidentally overclocked too, was wondering why the battery icon was showing pluses.

    • There is no 16GB only 64 or 64+128

      But regardless not to be used anyway

  • How do you setup the device outside the box initially?

    • Preflash your SD card with Garlic OS
      Preload second SD card with roms

      Done

      Here's a good guide

      I put everything on a 128GB SD.

      • I dont understand the installation steps. There are two zip files 001 and 002 but all guides only say what to do with 001. Any help? Thanks

        • +2

          Just click extract on the .001 part with 7zip, it will automatically use the second part

        This is good, I'll leave this here too:

        Also, installing a theme, that works perfectly, so ignore that advice not to.

        I also changed my boot image, and icons, made my own background and changed the battery charge animation.

        And the main site for Tiny: https://archive.org/details/tiny-best-set-go and for other missing games/systems: https://archive.org/details/pungent-best-set_202304 (but not sure if you can combined the two, might need to copy what you need)

        Keep the aspect ratio for GB/GBC/GBA.

        • Yep changed my theme over as well from there.

          Did you get the theme changer working? I haven't tried yet.

          • @impoze: No I didn't, couldn't really understand it. After picking the Retroarch theme, and made my adjustments, I figured I won't be changing my theme anymore. And if I do, I wanna mix and match.

    Just got mine today. The biggest surprise is that the D-pad is actually pretty decent. I play a lot of fighting games and i can pull off special moves and supers just like on the PS5 controller. I was doing full Iori combos in KOF98. There is just a tiny bit of input lag but I can deal with that. Overall pretty good purchase.

  • I have a noticed a few games you have to flip the console vertically to playโ€ฆ Contra, 1941, etc. However played Double Dragon horizontally and that was Awesome ๐ŸคŸ๐Ÿผ

    • Neo geo?

      • Neo geo runs great. Every game is perfect 60fps

        • Yeah as in the vertical game mentioned.

          I know you can also rotate it in retroarch settings for shmups though

  • My order has been stuck at "Arrived at Port of Destination" for several days now. Ordered on 30/04.

    • Also having delivery issues. Except mine says it's been delivered yesterday (Sunday), but it is no where to be seen.

  • @Clear

    I received my RG35XX but it wonโ€™t charge.

    • Try a different USB-C cable.

      • Thanks mate, I have tried 5. Still nothing.

        • The microSD card is inserted?

          • @Clear: I have tried it both ways without luck

            • @adb1984: try flash a card with garlicOS,

              and are you using Type A to Type C cable?

              • @impoze: No Type C to type C. The device is completely flat so Im not sure the garlic os on a memory card will help.

                • +3

                  @adb1984: try charge using a type-A to C, it doesn't work with type-C PD

                  • @impoze: Thanks guys, that worked. I appreciate it!

                  • @impoze: Works with some but not others. I have a Cablecreation 3A cable that works, but another of their 5A doesn't. These also work. The 100W cable that came with my Toocki doesn't, but some other random cable I found laying around does.. so far seems 3A USB2.0 cables is the common link between working ones.

    • Anyway pretty disappointing as I as super excited and had heard good things.

      • You need to have a SD card inserted with the firmware on it. The device won't charge without a.working Sd card properly formate

    Got it today, put it on charge and flashed GarlicOS with custom boot image, theme and system icons. Downloaded Tiny Best Set GO and used 2x Samsung EVO SD cards. Everything has been smooth and no issues so far!

    Mac users will have issue expanding the the ROM SD card partition and wont work with Disk Utility. There are mac specific instructions in github. Reddit is your friend. Hit me up if you need any help!

  • Jealous of everyone saying they received their units. Amarex claims they delivered it, when I enquired they showed me a photo of a house I do not recognise and after 4-5 days they replied saying "Regretfully, it appears that our team have been unable to verify the delivery of your consignment, therefore the matter should now be forwarded to our Claims Department for evaluation.

    As it is the sender who holds the Contract of Carriage, we will be processing the claim directly with them.

    We ask that you please contact them at your earliest convenience so that you may follow up with them on your end as we reimburse them directly.

    We apologise for the inconvenience caused." I then contacted Geekbuying by live chat who asked a few questions, told me to speak to the courier, who I had just explained I had and they couldn't help and now crickets. It's a shame Geekbuying can't fix this, afterall it was their choice to use amarex :(

      Hey what's your order number? I'll see what's happening.

      • @Clear not sure what's going on with your company, I tried live chat, they sounded helpful but ultimately didn't do anything other than to get me off the chat. Email asked me to do the running around for them and now it looks like you've disabled the mailbox! The order number is 5883586, now I'm trying to find refund via credit card. It sucks, I really wanted this thing.

        • Thanks for the order number. I'll speak to my contacts at Geekbuying and see if they can get an acceptable resolution for you.

        • Hi

          You'll receive a full refund. Thank you.

  • +1

    Sorry @Clear trying to buy one but it's giving me $116 with Expedited Shipping with the coupon code, for the purple variant ..

    • Weekend ๐Ÿ˜‰ I'll chase it up with them tomorrow

      • Sorry didn't realise my bad ๐Ÿ˜ž, thank you for chasing up for me ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿป

      • Sorry Clear, I'm not getting it wrong am i perhaps?

        The Priority Shipping at checkout is free (10-20 delivery days), so is that what's advertised in this deal? Or is the Expedited Shipping that's half the delivery time - that's not free then?

        • Yes I think that's the mistake. Priority shipping is free and selected by default, so it's US$53.85 with the coupon. Expedited shipping is not free.

  • Is the priority shipping automatic? I dont think I selected it and they haven't processed my order in 4 days.

    • Priority shipping is selected by default.

      • awesome, thanks!

    • I ordered 24/05 and my order is still showing up as "Payment Confirmed (Processing)". Hopefully it changes to shipped soon :(

      • Same boat. Ordered 25/05 still "Payment Confirmed (Processing)"

  • Placed an order on 25/05 and no update whatsoever too.

    • +1

      Can be up to a week. I will follow up.

    • +2

      From today and tomorrow.

      • Is that for all orders made around that date?

        • +1

          Yeah

  • Buyer beware! They choose cut rate carriers and when the parcel goes missing they will ghost you, emails to their after sales support even fail:

    Error Icon
    Address not found
    Your message wasn't delivered to [email protected] because the address couldn't be found or is unable to receive email.

    • Mine came via Auspost

  • So they come with screen protectors in the box?

    • +1

      Received mine today. Yes, glass screen protector in box.
