edit: Nevermind, just noticed that it has the same chip, but a smaller display. 3.5" is small enough for me, so any smaller than that would be too small.

Anbernic put out what they named the 'New RG35XX' in 2024 that's mostly identical to the 2023 model but has the faster H700 chipset that's in this RG28XX (as well as the RG35XX H, RG35XX Plus, and RG35XXSP).

You'll also be able to emulate ~some~ of the Dreamcast, N64, and PSP libraries. A limited amount; although probably more than you might expect (or even -want- to play on a device w/ a 2.83" display). Just think of any games it can play from those systems as more of a pleasant bonus, rather than the focus of this device. PSP is the most limited in terms of selection, but you'll find some pretty good games that do work very well (Castlevania: Dracula X Chronicles and Mega Man: Maverick Hunter X). It's best to go in not expecting that heavy titles like God of War: Chains of Olympus will run well. PSP is also natively in 16:9 aspect ratio, so you'll have some letterboxing (something to bear in mind on a 4:3 display that's this small). It's doable if you have the eyesight for it, but can get "squinty." Also, no analog stick(s) will further trim down the selection of playable games for the ones that can't be played without it/them.
Also I have one of these, its pretty cool as a dinky little pocket device. I was provided a review unit and I like it, build quality feels reel good. However, I wouldn't pay more then $38 for it. Mine was given to me through an amazon vendor who charges $60+ for it and at that price I wouldn't be thrilled with it.
Performance is great, its just so dang small that the way I see it, this is a device for people looking for something SMALL and very portable FIRST and comfort second.
