  • About the product:
    • The Anbernic RG35XXSP or RG35XX SP, ANBERNIC's first clamshell handheld, closely resembles the classic Game Boy Advance SP and can emulate consoles such as NES, SNES, Mega Drive, Game Boy, PS1, N64, Dreamcast, and some PSP games. Despite being slightly larger in thickness and weight, the RG35XXSP is almost identical in size and buttons to the classic Gameboy Advance SP design. It offers similar specs to Anbernic's recent RG35XX Plus and RG35XX H models, including a 3.5-inch IPS screen with a 640 x 480 resolution, Allwinner H700 chipset, Dual-core G31 MP2 GPU, and 1GB of LPDDR4 RAM, in addition to a 3300mAh battery supporting an autonomy of up to 8 hours. This makes it powerful enough to emulate titles from 5th and 6th generation consoles like the SEGA Dreamcast (performance may vary per title) and Sony PlayStation.

Go on Aliexpress and you can get the 128gb version for less than this. There is a coupon link at the top of listing. I used an $8 off $60 purchase, for a total of $56.20 for the 128gb version with free shipping.

Make sure to make a backup image of the microsd when you get it as these no name cards have a high rate of failures.

Can't post Aliexpress link as SD will delete post.

I understand the nostalgia of the original GBA. The form factor, plugging in the carts... it's all great. EXCEPT the original GBA screen. It was HORRIBLE. You had to have just the right amount of ambient light, too much (like being outside) and the glare washed out the screen, too little and you couldn't see anything. To play in low level light you needed a third party light that plugged into the port on the top of the GBA, which meant angling the GBA just right so you didn't have light glare AND the light head wasn't in the way. The AGS-001 SP was slightly better as it had a backlight, but playing outside was still difficult, and the battery didn't last nearly as long as desired for daytrip car rides. Night play was better though. The AGS-101 has an updated, better screen. But you will be hard pressed to find one of those in good condition anywhere near $80.

These Anbernic emulators don't have the same nostalgia, but the screens are FAR nicer, the battery lasts way longer, and you can carry all your "backups" on one SDC card. I originally got the Powkiddy V30 for my son as a really cheap gaming option, but found myself envious so I bought the original Anbernic RG35XX for myself. Since then, I haven't even once been tempted to break out my GBA.

It's a good idea to inspect your spicy pillows (batteries) on these inexpensive handhelds as a general rule. My first Miyoo Mini V2 I gifted to family was fine, but my second one had the battery swell to the point of nearly breaking the case within a few months. My Anbernic RG353M is just fine.

Hi Scoobie 😊 Depending on who the seller is, you may be able to post the AliExpress deal (either here or start a new thread, if you'd like). Is the seller Cutesliving or Anbernic Official Store by any chance (those have been approved to post here on SD in the past, even by non-staff community members)?
Thanks for reaching out Rev but unfortunately it isn't one of those two (link was removed earlier in this thread). Thanks again!

How are people's experience with purchasing from Geekbuying?
Mine never showed up. They have no customer service. I had to file a claim through PayPal to get my money back.

I still have the original Game Boy Advance SP somewhere, like the silver one there, I just found it again a few weeks ago, but I cannot find the charging cable anymore. It has this weird charging connector.
Amazon or Temu.

Got mine yesterday. It's not a perfect replica but it works well enough to tickle the nostalgia bone.

Quote from wjking91 :
This is fine if it is what you want, but noting you can get an original Gameboy Advance SP on the bay for $80-ish.
BS, you cannot find a good condition ags-101 for less than $140. Most listings less than that have major cosmetic damage.

Everyone buying these systems that don't use standard batteries are gonna be for a rude awakening 1-2 years down the road as the battery degrades and there are no replacements.

I know it mentions 10K+ games. Is there a list of the games, or even a list by console?

That's why I mentioned ordering the 128gb version, it's $64.20 before coupons, so $56.20 + tax after the $8 coupon is applied.

However, there is a $4 coupon (USSC04) for purchases over $29 if you want to buy the 64gb version instead.
Not for me. For me the nearest dollar amount for the 128gb version is 57.70

Did you check the seller though? Others have said if it's sold by a "shopxxxxxxxxxxxx" with a bunch of random numbers it's probably a scam and you'll have to end up getting a refund. It is recommended to only buy form Anbernic Official or Anbernic Direc on aliexpress.

Quick question for anyone who has any of these devices; Do they have a system where you can input gameshark codes?
