RG35XX Handheld Game Console Linux Garlic OS, HDMI and TV Output 3.5 Inch IPS Screen 64G TF Card 6800+ Classic Games 2600mAh Battery ( (RG35XX-Transparent Purple Latest)

I ordered my RG35XX over a week ago and received it last week. I had been watching videos and reading reviews and felt like it would be perfect for me. I grew up on NES, Game Boy, and SNES, and really only needed something that could do those consoles, but liked to have flexibility to go up to other systems like Dreamcast and Playstation. Initial reviews of the RG35XX were mixed; the stock firmware was choppy and had several QoL features missing (suspend/resume and a robust configuration option). I ordered when I saw that a new firmware, GarlicOS, was released and was having lots of positive reviews. I played the RG35XX for a couple of hours on stock firmware but decided I would really just want to get GarlicOS running.I'm glad I did! Garlic works great on the system and it's really easy to navigate and use. The form factor of the device is just perfect for me. I got the one stylized like the original Game Boy and it feels really great, very close to the original. It's smaller in the hands with a bigger screen, but it's not TOO small like the Miyoo Mini (in my opinion) nor too bulky. It's portable enough to take with you in a case, throw it in a bag, etc., and the battery life is decent. Because it has trigger buttons, it can play the newer generation games, but I've been having too much fun playing NES and Game Boy games to need them. But they are very comfortable to use.I strongly recommend this to anyone looking to see what all the fuss is about for retro handhelds. This has an easy entry into the market, isn't terribly expensive, but has good build quality and style, and enough performance to play anything a child of the 80s and 90s would want.

I’ve been watching Anbernic for a while and almost pulled the trigger before on a Rg353M, but time passed and the rg35XX is now my first purchase. So far: I’m very happy.What I like: The Quality. The feel is perfect. Buttons and direction arrows feel just like they should. The games are high quality and totally complete. No glitchy behavior and no repeats! You are legitimately getting almost 7000 games ready to play right out of the box + screen protector and case! What I don’t like (- but somewhat quickly learned to fix) is no Tetris, no Mario, and not enough PS1. I have remedied that, and have added in Tetris Worlds and Super Mario Brothers NES. Now I have the perfect handheld.If you are on the fence trying to decide (like I was) then this is the answer. The closest competitor (no names) is now known for a short lifespan due to HEAT. The RG35XX does not get hot at all, even after playing for long periods of time. It’s OS is very efficient and the UI is very intuitive. You can pick it up, turn it on, find what you like and start playing! It’s awesome. Good luck out there!👾

Good video game but my volume control button broke after a week. Games.and graphics are great

I was so excited to finally get this game for a while. I’ve been seeing it all over TikTok and decided to order through Amazon for the fast shipping. Unfortunately after 1 day, the game stopped working the screen was stuck on the logo and was not playable anymore. I tried all the steps to fix it and nothing worked. I had super high hopes for this game and the amazing price. I could’ve exchanged the product but I did not want to risk having the same thing happen again. This game was also given to my boyfriend as a gift and I felt super bad once I knew it stopped working.UPDATE: The seller decided to contact me and was super nice and understanding they decided to send me a new game device!!! At the moment it’s working fantastic. Thank you so much!!

Right out of the box, it's a great little console. Loaded with games from many different consoles. Battery life is ok, not great, but not horrible. There are some things to know, however, that may add or take away from your experience.1. This only plays up to *some* PS1/PSX games. The controls are D-Pad + Buttons. So don't expect to play any games that use joysticks (yet they include arcade systems, idk)2. Some games are not in English. Main examples are the Final Fantasy's for SNES. This is disappointing. Most are not this way. ChronoTrigger is English. (but even though it's in the SNES files I think it's the DS version.)3. Battery life. It's ok, but drains quickly if you leave it in sleep. There is a difference in tapping the power button and holding it down to shut the system off.4. Operating System. When you first turn it on you get a basic old school rom system layout. It operates as normal/expected. I happened to look at the instructions before I threw them away, and noticed you can switch to another OS, Garlic. It's a little more graphically pleasing, and seems to have more customizations. I'm still playing around with it. IMPORTANT - If/when you switch OSs, your favorites and save states do not carry over.

I'm not sure what to make of this handheld. For the most part, it does a great job at playing games without lag. However, there are times when it gets a little buggy. Sometimes it gets stuck on the loading screen, and there doesn't seem to be any way to fix it except to plug it in and try powering on while it's plugged in. When this happens, I find that I can't turn off the system. It gets stuck in a reset cycle instead. That said, this has only happened once or twice since I bought it. This seems to happen more often when I actually shut down the system instead of just holding the power button to turn it off, so maybe that's the issue. Because of this, I'm rating it a three-star for now. I'll revisit when I've spent some more time with it. If this fix resolves the issue, I'll definitely raise the rating.UPDATEI've spent some more time with this item and unfortunately the reset cycle issue continues. It doesn't happen often, but now the plug-in fix doesn't work. The only way to break the cycle is to reset over and over until it randomly starts working again. It's a shame because the system works great when it works, but this issue is kind of a deal breaker. Down to one star it goes...

This is a great first step in the right direction
