I added YuGiOh The Sacred Cards to my anbernic this week and it has prevented me from being productive in any way, shape, or form. No one to blame but myself, lol.

This is one of my favorite rpgs from my childhood. I used to loooove playing this game and really wish Konami would have made more like it.

Decided to take my Kirby theme further with menu icons that are portraits from the game. Also changed the little icon and the corner text. I want to also get new sparkly buttons!

Current high score in Twin Cobra (Genesis version). I don't think I'll ever 1cc this one, as it's possibly the hardest shmup on the Genesis/Mega Drive, but nevertheless I keep coming back to it!

An online store recently sent me a handheld Linux device that looks exactly like a chunky Gameboy Advance SP, and I dig it.

Anbernic RG35XXSP Review: The greatest clamshell ever?!

The Anbernic RG35XXSP is a retro handheld gaming console that perfectly blends nostalgia with modern technology. As a fan of classic gaming, I was eager to get my hands on this device, and I’m happy to say it doesn’t disappoint.

Design and Build Quality

The first thing you’ll notice about the RG35XXSP is its sleek, compact design. It’s clear that Anbernic took inspiration from the iconic Game Boy Advance SP, but they’ve given it a fresh, modern twist. The clamshell design is both practical and protective, ensuring that the screen stays scratch-free when not in use. The build quality is solid, with a sturdy hinge and a comfortable weight that makes it easy to carry around.

The buttons are responsive and have a satisfying click, which is crucial for any handheld gaming experience. The D-pad is precise, and the face buttons are well-placed, ensuring that even longer gaming sessions remain comfortable. The inclusion of shoulder buttons adds versatility, allowing for a wider range of games to be played effectively.

Display

The 3.5-inch IPS display is one of the standout features of the RG35XXSP. The colors are vibrant, and the viewing angles are excellent. Whether you’re playing in bright sunlight or in a dimly lit room, the screen remains clear and easy on the eyes. The resolution is more than adequate for retro games, making pixel art look sharp and detailed.

Performance

Under the hood, the RG35XXSP is powered by a quad-core processor that handles emulation with ease. I tested a variety of games across different systems, including NES, SNES, GBA, and even some PS1 titles, and the performance was consistently smooth. Load times are quick, and I didn’t encounter any noticeable lag or frame drops, even in more demanding games.

Firmware and User Options

One of the key strengths of the Anbernic RG35XXSP is its flexible firmware options. Out of the box, the device comes with a well-optimized custom Linux-based firmware that offers a user-friendly interface and reliable performance. However, for users who like to tinker, there are several alternative firmware options available that can enhance and customize the gaming experience.

Popular community-driven firmware options such as muOS and MinUi are compatible with the RG35XXSP, providing additional features, better emulator performance, and more customization options. These alternative firmware packages are relatively easy to install and offer significant improvements in terms of user interface, game management, and even additional system support.

Users can also access a variety of settings directly through the stock firmware, including screen scaling options, aspect ratio adjustments, and save state management. The ability to map buttons and adjust control schemes is another strong point, giving players the freedom to tailor the gaming experience to their preferences.

For those interested in expanding the device’s capabilities, custom firmware opens the door to a broader range of emulators, better system compatibility, and even the ability to run indie games and homebrew applications. This makes the RG35XXSP not just a retro gaming device but a versatile handheld that can grow with you as you explore its full potential.

Battery Life

Battery life is always a concern with handheld devices, but the RG35XXSP delivers impressive longevity. On a full charge, I was able to get around 5-6 hours of continuous gameplay, depending on the system and screen brightness. Charging via USB-C is fast and convenient, and the battery indicator provides a clear readout, so you’ll always know when it’s time to recharge.

Audio

The built-in speakers are decent, offering clear sound that’s loud enough for most environments. However, for the best experience, I recommend using headphones. The audio quality through the 3.5mm jack is excellent, with no noticeable interference or static, which enhances the overall gaming experience.

Final Thoughts

The Anbernic RG35XXSP is a fantastic retro handheld that delivers on its promises. It’s a device that appeals to both nostalgic gamers and those new to retro gaming. With its impressive build quality, vibrant display, smooth performance, and flexible firmware options, it’s hard to find any major faults with this console.

Whether you’re reliving your favorite childhood games or exploring classics for the first time, the RG35XXSP is a worthy companion. Anbernic has once again proven that they understand what retro gamers want, and they’ve delivered a product that not only meets but exceeds expectations.
