Anbernic RG35XX
About this device
The Anbernic RG35XX is the definitive budget vertical handheld. With Game Boy Color-sized dimensions and smooth PS1 performance, it's the go-to recommendation for anyone entering retro gaming without breaking the bank.
The Anbernic RG35XX is the device that defined the modern budget boom. Game Boy Color sized and pocketable, it plays the classics through PS1 with ease and costs barely more than a new release. It has no Wi-Fi and no analog sticks, which keeps it simple and cheap, a pure offline 2D machine. GarlicOS, muOS, and KNULLI all run beautifully on it. If you want the smallest, lightest, most affordable way into retro handhelds and you mostly play 8 bit through PS1, the original RG35XX is still a perfect first step.
