35XX H Rumble motor vibration when idle

35XX H Rumble motor vibration when idle

Hi everyone,

I’ve repaired more Anbernic devices than I care to admit, but I've run into a new one. This particular unit wouldn't boot, so I did a battery unplug/reset, and now it’s booting fine. However, I’m getting a random buzzing sound come and go.

Initially, I thought it was audio interference, so I checked the Wi-Fi and the speaker cable, and even went as far as unplugging the right speaker. I then realised the noise is actually the rumble motor firing off very subtly. I checked the motor cable, gave it a little poke, and for now, the buzzing seems to have stopped.

This is a first for me. Has anyone else experienced this? I’m wondering if I should just go ahead and replace the rumble motor.

Trimui over Anbernic and why

Hi Everyone,
I started with Anbernic devices but have dabbled a bit with the Trimui Smart Pro and Pro-s which I love. haven't gone the Brick as already have RG353, 40XXV and 405V.
While the Brick is a much nicer looking unit, and curious about it with DAC. Would love to hear what drew you to the Brick and what your fav thing about it is.
Thanks!

Anbernic RG476H vs RG556 – quick look - YouTube

Put together a short video for anyone sitting on the fence between these two.

Kept it simple as they are basically the same machine.

Both run the T820 processor so gameplay is identical. Main differences:

  • Screen ratio: RG556 is 16:9 (1080p), RG476H is 4:3 (4.7")
  • Retro games: the 556's extra width gets letterboxed anyway, so the visible play area is similar
  • Android games: the 556 wins on real estate with the wider display
  • Battery: 476H is 5,000mAh, 556 is 5,500mAh
  • Panel: 476H is LTPS, 556 is AMOLED — deeper blacks on paper, but the real-world gap is smaller than the hype
  • Both have: TV out, dual speakers, hall joysticks

If size and pocketability are your deciding factor, the 476H is the obvious pick. If you mostly play Android titles or want the bigger screen, go the 556. Panel type alone isn't worth basing the decision on.

What do you all think? kept it too simple?

What's your fav retro game? and has this happened to you and where?

When your ovens start giving you mission briefings, it’s time to put the controller down... or lean in and see if the fridge has Galaga vibes.

h700 with cbepx-me Modified Stock OS gamelist

Trying to avoid going custom as many have stated cbepx-me Modified Stock OS is superior.
But seem to be coming undone in areas that should be a breeze.

I have thumbnail images in ./imgs/ folder and they are being picked up.

While I have a gamelist.xml in the Amiga ROMs root folder, I dont believe its being used as game names are shown as per file name and thumnail images work even if gamelist.xml paths are wrong.

XML file is below - any ideas or ways I can force OS to use gamelist.xml? or do I ditch and go MUOS?
