Some updates after messing with the device more this morning: - Bluetooth controller works fine after manually mapping the controls in RetroArch - HDMI out works well, but will stretch out the image to full screen (16:9 in most cases). You also can't plug/unplug HDMI while a game is running. - RetroAchievements and multiplayer are working once configured in RetroArch (achievements are hidden by default!) - Updating RA controller profiles will break the built-in controller configuration within RetroArch, you'll need to pair a BT keyboard to navigate the RA menu and remap all the native controls - When charging the device in a power off state, it will show you the % charged when tapping on the power button - Cheats, shaders, auto save/load can all be configured in RetroArch So in all, the advertised functionality of this device seems to be working with the stock OS, but the implementation is not very intuitive. If you know your way around RetroArch you'll be fine. Hopefully custom OS options will streamline that experience. GarlicOS 2.0 is already available for it but in an Alpha (test) state, with no GPU access yet. The Koriki and MustardOS devs have also expressed interest in supporting it.

Hey Ross! Pretty good and helpful review. I'm interested in the Moonlight streaming portion. I would love to play indie games (Celeste, Dead cells, Sea of stars, Blasphemous, etc) on it streaming from my PC. Can you please test this? I'm very curious to see if you can set those type of games to a 4:3 aspect ratio and get something like a "gameboy experience". Again, thanks for your work, been loving your channel!

@@santukagameplays5862 Moonlight streaming works, but it will squish a 16:9 image to 4:3; so modern PC games will look vertically stretched. I've always found the best implementation for streaming on a 4:3 device is to stream GameCube and PS2 games, by stretching them to 16:9 on your PC, then when it gets sent to the 4:3 screen it will balance out.

Yeah, just too bad the Steam Deck is absurdly expensive for what you're getting. A portable handheld PC is a great idea, but we need better competition in the market-space to bring Valve down a notch. Ignoring the $300 model which is an LCD and is likely out of stock permanently at this point, you have to spend $400-600+ just to get one. *WHY* would I spend that much? On a device that's limited to Linux-based games. I like the system, but you're paying equal to or more than the price of a home console for a system that can't even play games half as well. If you want to play older games on it, cool... I definitely see the value in it for PS2, Gamecube and some older PC games, but it's still an outrageous asking price just for a little portability. Valve should have taken a loss on the hardware like console manufacturers do and lowered the price closer to $250 or $300 at the lowest with DECENT STORAGE SPACE AND NOT A PIDDLING 64GB. That still would have been asking quite a bit, but it would have put it in a competitive space with the Nintendo Switch and locked it in as a solid system worth paying attention to. As it stands I just keep waiting for them to make a better budget model or to cut costs somehow, because ever since it was announced I have not once considered actually buying it even though I do want it. I just can't afford to blow $300+ on a system that only contributes one tiny little thing my home PC cannot: portability; and fails in all other regards including storage space (you have to blow at least like $27 for a 256GB microSD card and depending on the games you want to install, that could wind up installing all of like three or four games, primarily because certain older games are really poorly optimized and take up like 100GB because of fucking texture files).

8:20 - [Rant] For me that type of shit is the weak point to almost every emulation console.. They're all heavily dependent on RetroArch and its god awful input management virtual controller mapping BS. Every controller change has you dealing with 2 different mappings for each controller and God help you if you're not using a standard 4 button controller that doesn't easily map to their virtual controller. External emulators are so much easier because you can just map the inputs directly to whatever gamepad existed for that console, but in RetroArch it's always such a project, but it's always the defacto standard because of how many cores come with it. That RetroArch UX makes me hate emulation. I want something like this that I can use both mobile and plug it into HDMI to "dock" it, and this fits the bill, but I know damn well if I do that I'm not going to be able to easily switch and have problems exactly like you did in the video because RetroArch.

The 405m is using some Unisoc crap (basically a no-name brand that won't have good mainline Linux support) for the SoC so it'd be a big downgrade in software support to put that in a 353 successor. With the 353 we have a RockChip SoC, which is as good as it gets, IMO, and with that we get nice things like JELOS that let us really make good use of the hardware. With that in mind you'd wanna keep an eye on if RockChip has any new chips coming out that are better than their RK3566. If you're just looking at benchmarks or game FPS these no-name chips may win in the short-term, but the RockChip ones will continue to be properly supported and only improve with time while the others become e-waste. Not everyone cares about that, but it's worth thinking about. You can see the same RockChip RK3566 used in SBCs from Pine64 and OrangePi and so on. These are actually popular chips across the ARM world and will gets lots of developer attention and can be used more like general purpose computers.

@RetroGameCorps I’m VERY new to the world of retro game consoles/emulators, etc. Do you have a guide on the basics on these devices as well as how to configure the buttons based on which games/retro console you’re playing? Thanks

I see no point in this upgrade. Adding more power to handle N65/Dreamcast/PSP without adding at least one analog stick? RG35XX was perfect for everything below mentioned platform - doing the same buttons layout with more power is pointless

For me the added power is for consistense PS1 and SNES performance without any overclocking, meaning cpu will not be stress out + less heat. Everything else about psp/dreamcast is just a bonus.

I bought the rg nano first ( its irresistible cuteness), 35xx next, and then 405v in less then 2 months. I no longer touch the nano, the 35xx battery started smoking and stopped working, the 405v is the best experience minus the difficulty in getting systems not preloaded to work like sega cd and 3do. The big screen is like playing on a mini tv screen and has the typical Android screen temperature adjustments. Maybe after flashing a different os from the stock version will make it replace my xbox series x. I have 1tb of games on it

Maybe it is just me, but the mind bogglingly difficult retroarch just takes the joy out of these consoles. Want to remap the controls to your Neogeo games? Cant. It doesnt matter how many times you save. So you managed to get that going? Want to change the controls to your NES? Want to get rid of overlays? Get it done only for them to constantly come back. Overrides? What are overrides? You managed to get your Neogeo controls saved somehow with overrides? Go back to your NES, your overlays and default controls will be back on. I must be in now like the third hour of wanting to just save my settings per core (dont know why they call it core and not an emulator), and for the life of me, can’t get it done. Russ’ starter guide is great, but at the end of the day, even if you follow it to the tee, it wont save you from the settings frustrations. Want to HDMI to your TV and use two controllers, haha good luck in settings hell, hoping to have your settings changed and saved only for the device to just revert back to normal. Emulation was so much easier in the 90s.
