Anbernic RG353PS Buying Guide

O.v.e.r.p.r.i.c.e.d

Thank you Russ!!

There's no reason to get this over the rk2023

With smaller bezels, a 4" screen and bigger buttons, this would be the perfect SNES handheld. It's frustrating how much empty space there is on this model. One day we will get such a device.. One day :')

I still with my RG351P

Super review, thank you so much! Could you make a video, how to buy some of Anbernic devices without an SD card at all, and how to upload Roms and all the stuff?

any promo codes?

I am a 33 year old primary school teacher from Germany and am playing Pokemon FireRed on my RG35XX with GarlicOS and custom bezels 😅.
In fact, very soon I will be playing N64 games on my RG353PS I ordered 10 minutes ago.

Thank you Russ for your amazing guides and reviews! I don't understand why my wife always rolls her eyes when she hears your intro music and leaves the room 😂.

And I’m 14
I’ve been dying to have one of these for myself for quite a long time 😢
My friend has the dmg-01 Gameboy.
If you can please comment on my comment! To let me know if it’s a yes!
Part 1 of asking for a Gameboy
PS. Keep up the good content

Bro, that strap is there to help prevent the console from falling out when the case is opened. It's just there for fumble fingered people.

For ArkOS, is it the RG353M build for this device?

I just bought the purple one. You really can't beat the price.

I have the rg353p with me, it’s the best thing I’ve bought, but I don’t know how to use ps2 yet

Does the amberelec work on this device? Or not...

No shipping to turkey 😭

DOA in Europe. Price is too close to rg353p and I can get second hand almost new rg353p cheaper than 353PS.
This product does not makes sense.

Another superb review. Thanks!

Is there a great custom firmware for this device that we can install when we receive it? Sounds like JELOS got discontinued or something, then read that ArkOS runs on it, and also Android? It’s all a bit confusing! What is the best CFW for it and does Russ have a guide coming for it?

Does it support Moonlight?

Russ, The wide strap inside the case for this ambernic. I do the samething with my Miyoo Mini Plus case I just rest it on top of the strap. I don’t keep putting it in the strap. The case pretty much holds the device, pretty secure, and it’s got a little bit of a hard shell to it with it being coated with soft material. I was thinking about cutting that strap off inside the case but I’m just leaving it there. Just in case, I need to tuck something underneath it. Who knows, maybe a big microfiber wipe cloth or a longer charge cable.

The design is what bothers me

Rip Skyline :(

I ordered the RG353PS yesterday. Is it possible to install ARCOS on it?

Please consider reviewing the Powkiddy X28. On paper, it looks like a good sub-$200 midrange handheld. Android, stacked shoulder buttons, no obvious ergonomic blunders.

I am currently selling my Red Magic 8 Pro Void (barely used) for a good discount if anyone is interested I'll drop the link down below

The strap on the outside of the case you can just tuck in to the case since it is on the zipper side. I have a couple official Nintendo DS / 3Ds cases like this.

Would love if you could test the headphone jack on these devices, they don’t see to be shielded properly and make an annoying noise when nothing is playing

I dont know why but i love clear, prison style electronics

How well does this thing perform with Super Mario 64? Does the RAM downgrade from the 353P from 2gb to 1gb affect performance very much?

I get that the greys and whites are popular but hey with something like rad colours would be great like neon green, orange, hot pink, whatever

I'm REALLY considering this one. I have a RG351V, its awesome, but its uncomfortable for me to hold for long periods of time.

Oooooh. Will this have hall effect joysticks or potentiometer joysticks?

una pasada en transparente,le queda muy bien

Anyone know how to save games to the “favorites” list?

Is it possible to connect this to play multiplayer with the Miyoo mini plus???

Help! I think I bricked my device 😢. When i put the memory with the arkos image in my RGp535ps and turn it on I forgot that I was trying a game with the stock firmware so when I booted up the device tried to continue the game and then the screen turn black and it powered off. It powers on but the screen remains black.

So, 353PS or 353VS? I do have MM+, would be cool to have also analog sticks for some DOS and AMIGA games.

Should I buy this or just buy rg353p?

I got the PS version. Not sure I want to pay an extra fiddy to play a few games better.

I’ve just received mine and after going mad with these emulators, I now have about seven or so, so I could compare. My other ones are: RP3+, RG280V, 351P, 353VS, 35XX, Data Frog SF2000. I also have a few Vitas, including both generations. Out of all these emulators, I like the 353PS and the 280V the most and I’ll give the 35XX to my young son for Christmas. Anyway, the 280V made me like portable gaming, while the 353PS made me actually try to play games that I last played as arcade over thirty years ago. I don’t like the shape and size, but in use, it’s absolutely brilliant, just like the Vita is. I only wish they used the same plastic as they did with the VS and that made it a little bit thinner as there is plenty of space inside the shell. I used Temu discount for both 35XX and 353PS, so with the £25-30 off, they are excellent devices. If I liked Android and didn’t mind chucking a more expensive device around, I’d keep the Retroid. However, at this price, the 353PS is the absolute winner.

I just bought one off temu for 6 USD. Insane deal...

I recently had a 353PS and I realized that it has a V2 screen: and this means that when we enter and exit the games we will see flickering and longer times for the game to appear than on a V1 screen. A pity: apparently the error is the video driver for arkOS! 😓

How good is games collection???

Got mine and I have to say it's an excellent device, with arkos. All the systems I love are working very nicely, excepted psp (forget the most demanding games, you will be disappointed).
Could potentially be my desert island handheld :)

NGL, I kind of wanna buy the PS just because of that "dot matrix with stereo sound" at the bottom of the screen. makes my nostalgia tingle XD
just got a 35xx and now I'm looking at all these things but this one just stands out so much because of the looks. (just wish they had a grey one with rainbow buttons)

The RG353PS is good but it has problems



Like gamecube and PS2 emulation won't exist but they won't work really good so uhh


Hahaha holiday blah blag

I still think this is better than the RG35xx series

Can this run redneck rampage

Got a couple of these and used the Stark OS tutorial to set up mostly 8 and 16 Bit era games plus a few Arcade favorites and oh man I couldn’t love this more… got a few protection cases and everything is doing great
Thanks as always Russ
