RG351V Handheld Game Console,Plug & Play Video Games Supports Double TF Extend 256GB,Portable Game Console 3.5 Inch IPS Screen 2521 Games (Transparent Black)

Good Deal. Excellent.

Worth every penny! Easy to use. Fun to play. Holds up to all testing. If you know how to find old games, then this thing can play them. Comes with a ton of games in it to start, but super easy to put new ones on there.

**UPDATED REVIEW**The reason for this screen issue had something to do with the custom firmware or OS (operating system) I was running on it, which was JelOS and even 351Elec. This device can run both of these perfectly but in order for the screen to function properly and not do this you have to get a specific screen driver file for this display. These custom firmwares work on several of these handhelds and the developers of these custom firmwares update the drivers the best they can in order to work universally on the devices that they support. This device is several years old so the display drivers on these current custom firmware’s don’t work anymore with this specific device and you would need to Google and find the display driver file for the RG351V and then transfer it into the folder of whatever custom firmware you want to use. People have already done this and so have i, but they explain it. It’s a simple drag and drop solution and finding the file is easy. Just search “RG351V display driver”. That should get you started in the right direction. Point is, this handheld is not broken or defective, it’s simply a driver issue that’s easily fixable.**INITIAL REVIEW**Though this is a fantastic product, it really is, I’m having issues with the display not displaying anything after being turned off and then back on again and when I wake the device from sleep. This happens after using it for awhile. When I take a break from playing, I come back to it and the screen doesn’t show anything. It’s on but no sound and no picture. It takes several times for it to do this but the display will inevitably stop working. I’m tech savvy and extremely familiar with these, I own several just like it. I’ve never had an issue like this. I’ve opened it up and checked the internals and there’s nothing wrong with any of the ribbon cables and nothing wrong with the screen ribbon cable, nothing is damaged or nothing looked damaged. I just got this as well. I’ve only had it for a week and the screen issues happened ON THE FIRST DAY I had it. The only way I can get the screen to work again is if I take it apart then put it back together. It’s really weird. Turning it off and on DOES NOT FIX IT AT ALL. So I obviously have a defective display.My advice to anyone buying is buy with caution. 50/50 chance that you also could end up with a defective display. I read someone else had the same issue.

Does its job, but the software interface can be difficult to navigate. Once you figure it out it’s fine. Allows kids to have something to play with on long trips and serves its purpose.

Considering this handheld comes in at the same price as a gameboy on ebay and allows you to play more than just NES and SNES but a bunch of stuff. So out of the box the packaging feels like it's a premium product and the buttons are extremely nice. The joystick adds the ability to use it instead of the dpad or as an additional input for consoles such as the psp.ALTHOUGHT out of the box the console comes with a 16gb SD card for OS and a 64gb for games(preloaded) I would recommend tossing both, installing ArkOS which has much better performance and emulation, but also upgrading the SD cards to SanDisk or Samsung so that they perform better as well.You can buy this product, turn it on, and play right away without any additional hardware or software.If you are looking for a handheld, for a good value, with good battery life, and an amazing screen, I recommend this over and over.

Fun, but it connects to the internet. I'm desperately trying to find one that does not connect to any type of wifi. Does this exist?

I bought this device in hopes of doing some nostalgia gaming, this device did not disappoint. It came loaded with all the Pokémon games I was hoping for and ready to go out of the box. The ui is a little clunky but after watching a few tutorials on YouTube it is easy enough to get the hang of it, mainly saving games, closing the games properly and the correct way to power down the device. Once you get that down it’s like being transported back to the late 90s early 2000s with that classic gbc feel. Plays games amazingly. Only real issue is the battery life is not great, only lasts about 5.5-6 hours on a full charge with no sound on. Wish it didn’t have an internal rechargeable battery, instead it would have been better if it ran on aaa or aa batteries. For me the price is totally worth it for the Pokémon titles alone: heart gold, silver, fire red, yellow, crystal, ruby, sapphire, emerald and several more. Will be looking into replacing both sd cards with upgraded ones for reliability as the ones included are a cheap generic brand.

I was really wanting an Analogue Pocket but they are back ordered well into next year. I went looking for a emulator device (Yes, I know the Analogue Pocket is FPGA) using the same form factor and I found this guy. After trying a couple different custom firmware to find the one I liked the best, I settled on ArkOS, this is more for personal preference than anything else so don't let it persuade you too much. The screen is amazing and I've been using it to play GBA games that I never had a chance to play, which I think is its strongest use. Yes it can play PSX, 8, and 16 bit consoles, but it really is perfect for GBA. Can't recommend enough and the 2 MicroSD slots is great.
