  • 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.

Just as a note, I ordered mine off AliExpress on Monday June 3rd and I received it Friday June 7. VERY surprised about the quick shipping (June 11 was my guarantee). Florida resident here.

Finally pulled the trigger on this after much deliberation and going down the RGC/YT rabbit hole. Compared deals across Amazon and Ali, this is still the best live deal. Thx OP!

Before you made a decision to buy this device, you must know one thing that its CPU & Battery are really close to each other without any separator and there is no thermal paste on the CPU. The device has no fan or some sort of heat dispenser design, so all the heat will be contained inside the device. If you know and understand it and can accept its design then you can buy it.

The biggest complaint I've seem from reviews is that the face buttons require significantly more effort to press compared to other portables (like a GBA SP).

Mine never showed up. They have no customer service. I had to file a claim through PayPal to get my money back.
Yeah, I heard this story many times in Geekbuying deal threads. Really want to get in on it but I'm not interested in risking my money lost because they failed to ship

Why so many miniature game machine? Would an android phone with a game controller attachment be better?
