If this device had the OnionOS/GarlicOS experience it would be the perfect device for me. Regardless of that it comes with me every day to work. It’s the best vertical form factor for longer play sessions IMO. Just wanted to show some love!

I can’t think of another firmware that has video trailers and the achievement availability icon on the game selection menu

That’s what I’m saying. I don’t think any other firmware has those features

I run AmberELEC on my 351V and have a Miyoo Mini+,I just really like how OnionOS boots you straight to your game and I use the game switcher a lot on the MM+. AmberELEC is good for tinkering but I guess I just like the simplicity of Onion OS for quick pick up and play sessions.

Yep. Still have my black one with AmberElec installed. I love everything about it other than the display’s somewhat muted colors and mediocre battery life.

I got the grey running Amberelec and it’s very nice but I did upgrade to a retroid pocket 3+ but kinda separated the two with the RG being a 8/16 bit powerhouse and the RP3 being a PSP/NDS focus with some widescreen hacks (bsnes hd) on the side.

The RG351v would be used more if it had 5Ghz wifi, and my router can’t do both. Retroachievements are too nice.

I have not bought any retro handhelds aside from this. Pretty much use it whenever I get the chance. It is the only reason why I have not even bought a Steamdeck yet!

I loaded alot of PSX titles on this one. Mainly play JRPGS but oftentimes I end up playing games such as Command and Conquer and Warcraft 2 over and over again 😅

Let me guess… Lemmy rotated your pic 😅

Yes and I love it, sadly I had back luck with mine because it stopped to work within a week when I bought it, I talked to Anbernic and after like a month of emails and slow process they agreed to send me a motherboard, which I accepted and replaced myself, but turned out it didn’t have the rumble motor, I should have savaged mine, but due my inexistent soldering skills I just say fuck it and used it without it, which it sucks, because as a console gamer I like rumble motion when possible… Still i can fix it I guess…

I only have that one (black model) a Retroid Pocket 2 (not plus), and a Miyoo Mini which I treasure a lot because the lack of supply… And I like more the RG351V because the Retroachivements!

Yup Lemmy rotated my pic lol. I rarely use rumble but that’s because I mainly use mine for 16 bit and below. Hopefully you get it sorted out!

Yeah, to be fair me too, but I liked it with PSX games.
