The RG-35XX SP is a clamshell retro gaming handheld released in 2024 by the Chinese manufacturer Anbernic. It is built around the Allwinner H700 with 1 GB LPDDR4, has a 3.5 inch IPS 640 x 480 display, and uses a 3300 mAh (Swappable) battery. Its documented emulation ceiling is PS1 full speed, placing it in the budget tier for retro game emulation. Notable hardware features include video output, WiFi 5, Bluetooth 4.2, a folding design.
Charging quirkUses a simple 5V charging circuit with no USB-PD negotiation, so many USB-C PD/GaN chargers and E-marked C-to-C cables charge it slowly, only when powered off, or not at all. Use a basic 5V USB-A charger with a USB-A-to-C cable.Why this happens & how to fix it →How far can it go?
Runs everything up to PlayStation 1 at full speed, and pushes as far as Sega Saturn with some compromises.
Realistic ceiling: SNES FX & 3D PS1 (60 FPS), N64 and Dreamcast mostly playable, PSP somewhat playable, Saturn barely playable
