I’m not surprised that $19 billion has been spent on games that haven’t been played. I’m guilty of it. I have a huge backlog of games I have purchased as part of a bundle and still haven’t played.

So fun fact, for those who keep bringing up that the video of RG40XXH has tea spilled everywhere, if it's a traditional Chinese tea shop I do believe that little bird looking thing on the tray is what's called a tea pet and it's customary to pour the first steep of the tea on top of it. Why they decided to put a bunch of electronics around that are I won't understand though

@strongbad79 5 күн бұрын

My cube came yesterday and after spending a few hours setting it up I then see the post about the stick fix. If I would have seen it a few hours earlier I would have done that first. At this point it's going to be too much of a pain to wipe it and start over so I'll just wait for the full gamma. Can't wait

Is the update only for that different OS or does it work with stock?

@scizfoshiz 4 күн бұрын

If Anbernic took the exact button layout of the RG40XX H but used the specs of the 556 and then used the 3 : 2 screen from the KTR1. That would be their best handheld!!!!

@daexter8971 5 күн бұрын

I will definitely buy the RG40XX-H and I already know that I will probably never play games on it outside of testing. I have 11 Retro game consoles in total and spent a lot of time setting them up and dialing in all the settings I like. Then I update them all every month or so. There is simply no time left actually playing games 😂

I got the RP2S on your recommendation and I have never looked back. I just play a lot of Pokémon, Final Fantasy, and pinball games. I use my 2S for games with save states and I have the RG35XXSP for hardcore achievements. I would love an Odin 2, but other than that, I consider my handhelds to be the best available and I think they would have to do something drastic to make me upgrade.

@GarethFreshwater 5 күн бұрын

I really like the look of the 40XXH, but I already own a 35XX+ and 405M, so don't have a need for it, so will be passing until they start bumping the specs again.

I still do it today buying games and not playing them when there on offer. But my worst example of this is when I brought Metal Gear Solid 4 physical when it just come out for my ps3!! To this day I still haven't played it and I still have that original copy that I brought that day 😬🫣

@DigitalJedi898 5 күн бұрын

Im interested because I really like the H my only gripe was the size and wished it was 4 or 5 inches. May not seem like much of a difference but play a game on the H for a little bit then play the same on the RG Arc the screen size difference is not much but it feels better

@uncaringbear 5 күн бұрын

The RG40XX H screen size is 30% larger than the RG35XX H. It's a pretty big difference. I love my RG35XX H, but if I could magically turn it into a RG40XX H, I would do it.

@jonathonearl482 4 күн бұрын

I certainly want the ANBERNIC RG40XXH with the stock firmware! I plan to install two 1.5TB Sandisk micro sd cards into mine. The RG40XXH is the handheld I've always wanted and it would most likely be my favorite landscape handheld.

@jonathonearl482 4 күн бұрын

@@MrBadinger This RG40XXH will be the ultimate handheld media device. Both a handheld gaming console and a portable video player filled lots of complete series TV shows in folders avi, mkv, mp4 format. I'll also add some movies and mp3 CDs. *I've found out you can only do this particular dual sd card set up with the ANBERNIC RG35XX line of handhelds. I thought it would work on my Woodgrain RG351V but it didn't completely. With the RG351V both card slots work, but not at the same time, you would have to unmount the 2nd sd card from the slot to view the contents of the 1st sd card. With the RG35XX series you keep both cards in the slots and select which one to use at the menu. I have my RG25XX and RG35XXSP set up the same way with the two sd cards!

The only thing the RG40XX got going for itself is that screen in a plastic shell. Well, besides the fact that it would be very affordable. PS1 will be absolutely awesome on it. Come on, Retroid give us a Pocket with the exact same form factor as the 2s with a 4" screen, and the community will love you even more.

@mattdavis9601 4 күн бұрын

I like the RG40XXH. It looks good, I like the screen size, and the H700 gives it access to a lot of custom firmware options. I'm with you though that for a few dollars more than launch pricing I'd rather buy the Pocket 2S. Once the RG40-letters goes on sale then it might be worth picking up; but its projected launch pricing seems kind of steep for what you're getting, IMO. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I'm missing the point of the device. It wouldn't be the first time. Thanks for the shout-out.

I’m interested in 40XX due to the bigger screen. I have an RP2S and cannot get on with the way the plastics feels in my hand so don’t use it. I’d rather it didn’t have sticks as I have no need for them but I’ve resigned myself to the fact that everything is going to have at least one nowadays.

@robertl8069 2 күн бұрын

Love that more Linux devices are coming out. If I could change anything from the RG40XX H it would have to be for it to come with an Oled screen and front firing speakers. I was going to add bigger face buttons however they do look a bit bigger then past devices.

@metalsquid 5 күн бұрын

kinda interested. I just got my first retro handheld (miyoo mini+) a few weeks back. mainly dig the look and everyone raved about onionOS but I find it a little cramped for me and I think a horizontal device should be next on my list. would be better for long sessions and games where I need to use shoulder buttons a lot. Not ready to spend RG Cube/556 money yet but a 4" screen at a H700 price point... I can be tempted.

@TheTechUpdate-ui1fh Күн бұрын

I agree with you on the pronounciation of "Huawei"😅

@VisiblyJacked 3 күн бұрын

I'm one of those who held off on the RG35XX, H and SP because the screen is a bit small (compared to my one and only handheld the RGB30). The RG40XX has my attention but it's not a must-buy for me.

@QuietMisdreavus 5 күн бұрын

At this point, my thought process for new devices goes like "what does this have that is worth paying for that i can't already get on my MM+ or RGB30?" I love both of those devices a lot, and if a new device doesn't bring anything new to the table, it's a lot easier for me to ignore it. So, while the RG40XX H looks pretty cute, in the same way that the RG Cube does, i don't really think it's going to be much worth it for me in the end. 🤷‍♀

@skewyangel 5 күн бұрын

RG40XX H is incredibly tempting to me. My Miyoo Mini Plus is just *barely* too small for my eyes, so the extra half inch would be a nice upgrade. Unfortunately, from what I've seen, the RG40XX H might have really loud shoulder buttons, which makes me a bit concerned. I also wish they went with something a bit more powerful than H700 (maybe some cheap chipset with A73 cores?) and 2 gigs of RAM to ensure ports play nicely. I've been eye-ing the TrimUI Smart Pro, but the sticks seem to be kinda crappy, and PSP performance seems to be lackluster.

@gregmasciola3332 5 күн бұрын

I'm definitely curious about the 40xx. The form factor looks nice and the screen size would probably be a decent upgrade over the 35xx devices.

@turnbasedtoddy7664 5 күн бұрын

Ambern will do everything but finally upgrade the 405M. The 405M is the best device they have ever made. There’s no reason to have a 16 x 9 screen on these handhelds as just about everything you’re going to play was made with 4 x 3 in mind. I just can’t stand having the black space on the side of my games on something like the Retroid pocket 4. Here’s hoping they finally upgrade the 405M soon. And hopefully this time they will have a plastic version. If I’m being really greedy, I would love to see a 4 inch 720 P screen this time too.

@joeym4090 4 күн бұрын

Just completed my collection of the 35xx line up. I’m not that thrilled with the 40xx. Maybe I’m in the minority. I guess I’m liking the 35’s very much or wished the 40xx had better specs. Perhaps I’ll wait and see if they release something like the S2 where I could play some basic ps2 at least. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure the 40xx will sell well and the bigger screen is a plus. But how fast Anbernic is releasing devices, I can’t keep up. Perhaps will wait til the holidays to see what they’ll offer for us then. 😁

The RG40XX-H will be a great seller when it drops below $55, as we all know it will since it's just an H700 proc. And lets face it, that's less than half of the true price of an RP2S after adding the fake shipping costs ($115 total + tax). So if twice-the-price is "just a few dollars more" then the real value is in the $125 RG505 or $140 RP3+ which both have a proper 16:9 screen for PSP and widescreen hacks in Dreamcast, GameCube and PS2. Not to mention better upscaling or framerates than the RP2S. So in light of the alternatives, I can't think of any plastic emulator with 3.5" screen today that's worth over $100 delivered.

Anbernic should've pulled their finger out and fixed the thumbstick issue themselves. They 100% lost a sale in me. I was 90% ready to pull the trigger on a RG556 last week but the thumbstick problem was too much of a show stopper for me. As it turns out, the Steam Deck went on sale a few days ago and that's what I spent my money on instead. I'm glad owners of the 556 and Cube have a solution now, but Anbernic massively dropped the ball on this.
