RG353V Retro Video Handheld Game Console Android 11+Linux System, 3.5 Inches IPS Screen 64G TF Card 4420+ Classic Games RK3566 64bit Game Console Compatible with Bluetooth 4.2 and 5G WIFI

So glad I bought it. Works amazingly. Some games work better on Android, some work better on JELOS, and honestly, I even often use the stock FW for tough games that require a lot of load/save states because I find the hotkeys easier. The device itself is well made and super cute. Good battery, great screen, classic membrane mush feel. Couldn't be happier for the very reasonable price.As others have said, back up your firmware and flash a better SD Card. Plus, you'll need to supply your own games unless you buy this thing from another source. I chose Amazon because of easy returns just in case and the games that came with my 353p are wanting. So I had to supply my own. NES, SNES, and PS1 really shine, while GB, GBC, GBA seem as good. N64 is notoriously difficult to emulate but it honestly plays almost perfectly here, especially on Android. Perfectionists will always squirm but I'm 43 and remember the old hardware not always running perfectly either so whatever. 3DO was a nice surprise. Works flawlessly. Haven't tried much DS, GG, Saturn, or Dreamcast but plenty of videos detail it.Can't believe this thing isn't higher rated. For those of you who are afraid of the learning curve, I installed JELOS myself by following online tutorials and had zero problems. I'm not that much of a computer guy, either. It's really not as hard as you're thinking. If anything, the biggest challenge is sourcing roms and even that's pretty easy, especially with all the tutorials out there. Plus, ETSY vendors.

It's my fault I didn't pay more attention to the description but it's definitely smaller than I expected. If you have large hands or any kind of arthritis or dexterity issues this is not the handheld for you. Also if your eyes aren't great there's no way you're gonna see all the bullets flying toward you in a game like Contra.Otherwise it works really well and has a ton of games.

It has a dead pixel on top left side of the screen. Doesn't affect gameplay but it is very noticeable. Other than that it's a pretty good handheld device. It's relatively comfortable to hold. Nice retro games, good battery. The thing that I like the most is that you can connect the device to a monitor and expand your ability to play games. I also connect a PS5 controller to it and it works great. 4/5

I love this device. It has pretty good battery life, and can provide a lot of gaming enjoyment. While I didn't use the 16gb linux OS (Batocera or something else, maybe emulation station) I do use the Android OS. Play Store doesn't work, but plenty of emulators are already on the device as well as RetroArch. APK Pure store easily allows application updates. I've had an awesome time streaming from my gaming PC with Moonlight. It didn't work great at first because of 5ghz wifi, but I created a hidden network that only uses 2.4ghz, and I haven't had any streaming stutters in months. I can even stream from outside my network, and it's been a neat experience. The Anbernic device feels good in the hand, and I have zero complaints. RetroArch didn't do too well with N64 games, but the paid version of Mupen64 is already installed and I believe that will work better although I haven't tested it. Get this device, it's well worth it!

Originally I did not like this device. I rated it a 1 star because of the lack of “good games”. The dual OS was confusing to someone new to emulators, so if you’ve never used one and just want to play games maybe get the single OS one. There are a ton of games but none that really jumped out to me. I had no idea how easy it was to get your own games onto it though. I was able to find a reputable website and download all the games I wanted. All I had to do was connect the provided micro SD card to my computer then drag the downloaded file to the proper folders. I now have all the pokemon and Mario games I wanted originally, plus some. It runs all of the gameboy color and advanced games basically perfectly, it has struggled for me with some psp games but nothing that makes them unplayable, other than some of the games keybindings not wanting to properly change to work with the device. If you asked me a few days ago, I would have told you I hated it. After taking the time to download things I wanted it’s so much more fun.

Things I would have wanted to know before I bought this:1-The controls aren't great. The D-pad isn't very precise, I'll be pushing down and the movement will slide left/right. The thumb sticks are recessed into the device, which makes it easy to carry but not easy to use. The top buttons, especially R2/L2 are hard to reach without pressing R1/L1.2-The controls aren't pleasant to use. Despite my complaints, the controls aren't terrible and they do work. But they aren't nice to use, especially when using all types (D-pad, thumbs sticks, buttons top and front). Everything is so close together. Trying to play Medal of Honor for PS1 just wasn't fun.3-Some, quite a few, of the games have Japanese text. I didn't try any new games, just the ones I've played before. If I hadn't played them in the past, I would have a hard time figuring out what to do with no instructions in English. A good incentive to add your own games.4-No Mario games and no Tetris. No Atari games, but maybe that's too retro...5-There are a lot of games and it seems like a lot of them would be popular. I'm old so I only wanted a few, but there are many games available.6-The graphics and sound are good. The games look like what I remember.7-Battery life is good.I don't regret buying it, but maybe I would have gotten a different model. The controls are the worse thing for me. Overall I'm happy enough with it.Update: The seller reached out to me regarding an issue and offered to take care of it, but did not fulfill their commitment.

It's a awesome and is easy to use. I would recommend this if your looking for old school games.
