Comment on Hands-On With The Anbernic RG DS; The DSi Reimagined (my review)

Nice we have been talking about the device in the retro gaming corps discord channel. Looks like a lot of fun. If my miyoo mini plus ever dies this will probably be my next handheld.

That’s the one!
Russ had his video out pretty quick, and while some issues aren’t fixed, some were with the update Anbernic pushed out.
Its getting some hate, and some is deserved, but I can’t help but just love this device!

I was just about to say that I usually trust Russ will all my retro gaming handhelds, but I’ll gladly take a second opinion. Glad to see that you follow him as well and aren’t afraid to put your own thoughts out there. Nice work!

He was right, about a whole lot. But he also ran it and reviewed it as it was sent to him, which was broken and requiring an update.
Thankfully both Anbernic and Gamma have fixes now. Gamma’s is actually far more extensive. But for a retail experience, its fine.
I maintain that as a modern DS, its wonderful. Emulating everything else…not so much. I wouldn’t buy this to play PSX or SNES, but I would for DS.
Thanks for reading my review :)

Nice! Glad to see you are enjoying the device.
We regularly joke that Anbernic will come out sotj new devices every couple of months in every way shape and form factor. Not exactly a bad problem, but they often have issues with quality control. But if you get a refund and new device it usually works out.
