Anbernic is pretty cool, apparently the RG351M is one of the best retro handhelds you can currently get.

I've got the RG351P which is essentially the same but with a lower-res display and plastic shell instead of metal. I got it for around 80€.

It's a great mobile emulation device, it handles everything up to and including PS1 games perfectly. There are some custom firmware builds available which improve pretty much everything over the shipped distro.

There are even some ports available, like Mario64 which runs at higher res and 60fps - see

On the other side of the quality scale turns out Anbernic got a woodgrain 351 if you're into that.


Just search for Anbernic and you'll find their official AE store.

It's plastic not real wood.

This is so tacky. I wish China companies spend more money on design and style.

Not every China company make poo poo looking electronics. I have been very impressed by the physical aesthetic of Divoom's products.

huh that's weird and unexpected, I just randomly browsed this thread and the screenshot on this thing features two cars I made for a mobile game called Race Kings, looks like they've modified this screenshot into a screenshot from a completely different game and probably added some random racing game UI stuff as well -



Recognised it from the bodykit on the white Mustang there, weird that I can pick up on my own work from just a few pixels in a horribly doctored screenshot!

Why is the sun always bullying me?

Since we are on single-board emulation handheld chat, let me show the 2 I have:

PocketGo 1 ($30, can be found on Ali, but I would order from this website. Ships from China):
https://retromimi.com/products/pocketgo-retro-gaming-system

This is a very small, lightweight handheld. The screen resolution is perfect for GBA games, which this device runs flawlessly. The majority of SNES games are playable, but not all.


Anbernic RG351M($140 on Ali, buy from Amazon for 10 bucks more):
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/400...-860e087861b5-0

This is a metal body device, extremely high build quality for a device like this. Dual analog sticks, good buttons and d pad. Can play PS1 flawlessly, and runs about half the PSP catalog at full speed. Highly recommended device.

I'm pretty sure there have only been single digit/year cases of trichinosis in the US in recent years and they've all been from people eating wild game.

I just setup to control the Tello drone with the phone+PS4 controller. I just to want to show you guys the size comparison with the dedicate emu box. It's much more portable and preferable over the bulky controller+phone in almost every situation.

If you're considering the pocketgo, I would really recommend the powkiddy v90 instead for the same price.

Build quality sucks and you need to flash custom firmware to really do anything with it, but it plays ps1 games and just look at it

I have a media box from a brand called "Mecool", and I cringe a little each time the splash screen comes on.
On the other hand, it's kind of funny to think about it in an Alfred E. Neuman kind of way:

I buy and test a LOT of poo poo from Aliexpress, this is the first time I have actually received something from a goon in this thread!! For the sake of impartiality no, I will not post a link to it, nor reveal the goon.
(for transparency - I have been sent an AV switcher in the retro thread and yet to receive in the long-time post from USA to AUS).

I already have a spot welder that consists of a perfectly good real welder with rewound transformer because I may want to be an Aussie "Photononicinduction" when I grow up!



Hmm this is tiny in comparison...


gently caress you! Now I have to build it.


Build and tests to come later.

EDIT: Just noticed I am missing a nut and bolt. Yay China!

The drive works fine I'm just disappointed I can't get another one at the old price since it was cheaper than anywhere else.

Trichinosis has become so rare in the US the FDA recently revised their cooking recommendations.

Previously it was recommended you cook pork to 165 degrees to ensure your safety. With the removal of trichinosis from pig population, farm raised pork is considered safe to eat at 145 degrees.

The most common carrier in the US is bear meat.

Sorry for the derail. Pleas keep talking about the emulator boxes because I want one and yal are making it real easy to shop for.
