ANBERNIC RG280V

i like the rg280v because how small and pocketable it is. its pretty comfortable to hold and screen is alright. the buttons and d pad feels nice.

This handheld is the perfect size for playing games on the go. One of the only screens I let my kid use as well. Once I installed a different OS on the RG280V, I feel as though it's near perfect. I went with the adamimage for the 280 which was straight forward to create and run. After a little finagling the machine quickly boots up directly into a favourites menu to quickly launch the games we like from the GB/GBC and NES/FC.
In the future I would definitely upgrade from this to a handheld with analog sticks, but for a miniature handheld with a screen that's still easy to see, definitely worth the money.

Okay, it's not my BEST retro handheld...it doesn't have WiFi and the screen is a little small...but it's absolutely my favorite. So much so, I bought a second one to gather dust on a shelf until my first one dies. The build quality is exceptional and it's very comfortable to play. I've gotten all the way through Metroid Fusion and Metroid Zero Mission on it, so I can confidently say all the controls are responsive. I only wish it had WiFi, a slightly larger screen, and a CPU that supported AmberELEC or ArkOS, then I'd buy two more.

This is a great device with perfect size for me but...
I really wish they would release a new version with 3.2 screen instead because this little screen is to small for my 50 years eyes.
Otherwise an really great device.

Such a fun little device. Order arrived in us from china in under 2 weeks. So great to play all my childhood games. Highly recommend any anbernic device but rg280v is really great runs everything through the ps1 library I’ve tested. Also runs the super Mario 64 port amazingly!
