I'm searching for a good device to play indie RPGs made for PC like Felvidek, Hylics etc. They don't have crazy system requirements, but most Windows handhelds or the Steam Deck are on the more expensive side so I was hoping there might be an alternative that is enough for those kinds of RPGs but a bit cheaper. Does anybody have experience with how to run stuff like this on Anbernic devices?
Just got the rg nano and I just had to try this out first.
Title, bought it a year back, in June. Lightly used, never dropped it. All of a sudden the L joystick is a bit wonky, issue appeared a few month back.
Picked up this little beauty. Should I keep it stock or is there some recommended changes?
Hey everyone! Contemplating getting a handheld that is multipurpose (thinking android) for e reading Manga and books as well as light playing.
Thinking the RG Rotate. How is it hold up all this time? Thanks!
Hello all!
I`ve been playing a lot of 8-bit games on my anbernic. I can save all the time, and because of this, I`ve completed many games. But, do you think I`d enjoy, let us say, Zelda 2 more on game and watch because you cannot save all the time? Maybe the atmosphere would be a bit different, like more dangerous and more exciting?
Please help
First if all, this post is not about criticizing any developers, they have been and are doing amazing work and give us the choice, which is greatly appreciated. I'll be talking about my experience and something I don't see any reviews mentioning.
I got 477m with the latest GammaOS already installed and been using it for a month. Something felt off to me from the start:
- overall system responsiveness
- device navigation speed
- having to swipe down 3 times to get to the android pulldown menu/swiping up from the bottom multiple times to close the app
- controller profile acting weird in certain games (nethersx2 - GT4 - left analog stick will make a car stop accelerating)
Decided to give stock os a try, all the above issues got eliminated. System feels much snappier, navigation and gestures feel faster, pulldown menu acts as it should, no issues with controller profile.
Cheers.
PS You don't need a PC, this procedure can be done completely on a Mac via Parallels.
My RG477V started experiencing stuttering and lag after I updated it to the latest firmware (UP1A.231005.007_20260529-0356). The issue occurs when scrolling through games in the ES-DE Launcher (version 3.4.1-58).
Is anyone else experiencing the same problem? If so, have you found a solution or workaround?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Man I love this thing.
Coming from playing with actual console on a CRT tv and taking 5 attempts of blowing on the cartridge every time to get a game to start.
Running garlic OS and tiny best set go! Rom set. This awesome.
Recently did the switch for my RGDS to a nightly distribution of Rocknix, using the most recent release. But it seems there are a few broken parts of that version, such as the Quick Menu for the bottom Screen and Azahar support. I'm sure it will be fixed eventually, but in the mean time I've been looking for workarounds and it seems only option is to downgrade back to an older version. However, the most recent version that did not have these issues is no longer on the github. Hoping someone knows we're to safely find the files.
Does anyone still have access to ROCKNIX-RK3566.aarch64-20260622-Specific.img.gz?
i just want to know what issues i may encounter once my console arrives
Rg34xxsp on MuOS. Is there a fix for this?
Just got it a couple days ago and can’t put it down. A 4:3 beast. If you are on the fence I’d highly recommend this device.
I've been playing all day on my new Anbernic RG45XX, and just booted it up after eating to see that about 7 hours of progress has been deleted from my save file.
What has happened any why?
I launch the game through RGA, but a quick search has shown me that the game only actually saves if you exit it correctly, and not if you save in-game.
Is this true? There's no way I'm picking it back up if I have to replay all the progress I lost. Is there no way around this? Is my save hidden somewhere?
It just sits in its box. It’s in perfect condition. Everything that came with the box is still in the box besides the unbranded SD card that came with it. That thing died within a few days. It even has the plastic sleeve that protects the handheld during shipping.
How much should I sell it for? Like $50? It’s essentially brand new.
Exploring Laucher RetroHrai, I really liked how versatile it can be, of course some details will be the same in all Handhelds, but in general it is possible to make customizations that leave it very different, both in the choice of platform and in the presentation of the Library.
Handhelds:
Retroid Pocket 3+
Retroid Pocket Flip 01
- Anbernic RG Rotate (although everyone had the same chipset (T618) he was the only one where the Launcher showed slowness and delay to load the boxarts,I think that happens because he only has 3GB of Ram).
Moin!
TL;DR: RetroArch doesn't start games anymore. And if the Menu/Back button doesn't bring up the Quick Menu.
I got myself the mentioned RG476H and love it. After a short hesitation (my game library is RetroPie-compatible) I flashed GammaOS and re-scraped my games in Daijisho and was happy.
I even added Dosbox (Pure) and played Commander Keen and other.
Today I noticed that the Home button didn't open the RetroArch Quick Menu anymore, which was weird. (L3+R3 does the same, but I didn't have to use that before.) I tried stating a GBA game that worked before and it didn't even start up (it showed only the RetroArch logo). I also tried open RetroArch from the Apps section and it gave me a black screen.
I restarted the console (twice) and I could open some Atari game, but the Home button still didn't bring up the Quick Menu.
I tried to rebind the home key in RetroArch, but apparently I have to hold the button for a second for it to work. But that exits RetroArch...
So, with a heavy heart, I deleted the RetroArch system files, restarted the console, tried to start games, remembered I probably have to reinstall the Cores, tried to find the correct ones and now...
I still get stuck on the RA logo when I try to start a game.
Now I feel stuck and frustrated. What went wrong? Did I break anything? How can I fix things (without losing too much progress)?
The 405m model has known trigger button issues. It looks like these were addressed a few years back with changes to the buttons and the internal hardware. I just received another 405m and it has the older L pattern for the trigger buttons. Does this indicate that this device is the older model that is more prone to problems? Or do I need to open it up to look at the internal components to know for sure.
To phrase this another way, did Anbernic go back to the L-shaped trigger buttons but keep the fix on the internal components?

After recent unexpected events I’m in the market for a handheld that can do GameCube and ps2 maybe 3 Wii games at 1x resolution 100 percent, I don’t need 2x. I’m also looking for a warranty but the website doesn’t offer or hides it. Do I have to buy through Amazon to get a 3 year?
I just started looking today and my guess is this is the one, unless there’s one a little slower and cheaper but can still do 1x 100 GC & PS2.
Hopefully this one lasts longer than two years. I guess I should also check if anbernic has a history of spontaneous combustion?
