Anbernic RG40XX-H Handheld
Sep. 27th, 2024 03:33 pmSo, in terms of the firmware, the performance, and the capabilities of this device, it’s actually really easy to review: Refer to my RG35XX-H review. Full, fast and smooth Retroarch integration with cheats and hotkeys readily available plus a dedicated menu button. It’s got an HDMI output and a proper headphone jack, and two SD card slots (again, pretty much the same as the rest of the XX line).

Overall: It’s bigger than the RG35XX-H, but not enough to be useful, if that makes sense. The weird screen shape means you’re not actually getting that much more real estate for games; the larger body is a little more comfortable to hold but means it’s harder to carry around. DS games are a little more playable with the bigger screen and better sticks, but there’s still no touchscreen. Given that both devices run in the $50-60 range on AliExpress, I think the smaller device is actually the more versatile choice. That said, it’s a great device, it’s just redundant to my existing options.
