The pocketable GB-influenced RG353V handheld takes it to the next level.
The Anbernic RG 353V brings all of the features of the 353P into a Game Boy-inspired console while maintaining dual joysticks that FITS in your pocket! For a little more than the 351V the extra features and power make it a strong contender.
The 640 * 480 3.5" touch screen, RK3566 processor and 2GB RAM means retro gaming will run smoother than the 351 range.
With a number of colour options, you're spoilt for choice.
Stick with the Linux platform or switch to Android whenever you feel the need, your options are endless.
The RG353V while the same profile as the 351V is slightly smaller, and has tweaked shoulder buttons along with a touchscreen function for Android games and apps.
The slightly smaller size means it's pocket friendly, while the 2GB RAM should improve gameplay.
The Anbernic RG353V comes with built-in 5G WIFI and HDMI opening up your connectivity options. Go portable or go big with the ability to connect to a bigger screen and Bluetooth for external controllers when you feel the need.
Given the Game Boy nostalgia this handheld oozes, it's only fitting that it plays all the titles with ease and more. Resolution can be upscaled as desired.
On the Linux side, from the factory, it runs the same front end as the RG353P being Emulationstation and RetroArch.
The upgraded hardware and touchscreen make it perfect for Nintendo DS emulation and PS1 also runs great while PSP runs ok.
Dreamcast and Saturn however are hit n miss on the stock firmware.
While GameCube isn't its speciality, some of the easier titles will work well but PS2 is a no-go.
Happy retro gaming.
