Ampown RG35XX Handheld Game Console 3.5 Inch IPS Screen Linux System Retro Video Games Consoles Portable Pocket Video Player 5000+ Games (Purple Transparent)

The item I received in used condition not new as described. Even in history it shows the games that been played before. Selling used items as new and more expensive. Fraud.

I felt immense joy upon receiving this item! I gave it 4 Starts because regrettably, when I began using it, I immediately noticed a slender 1 or 2 px yellow line stretching from the top to the bottom of the screen. It doesn't pose a problem during gameplay with dark colors, but it becomes highly bothersome when playing games featuring many bright colors. I plan to reach out to support with the hope of getting a replacement and updating this review.

I ordered my RG35XX over a week ago and received it last week. I had been watching videos and reading reviews and felt like it would be perfect for me. I grew up on NES, Game Boy, and SNES, and really only needed something that could do those consoles, but liked to have flexibility to go up to other systems like Dreamcast and Playstation. Initial reviews of the RG35XX were mixed; the stock firmware was choppy and had several QoL features missing (suspend/resume and a robust configuration option). I ordered when I saw that a new firmware, GarlicOS, was released and was having lots of positive reviews. I played the RG35XX for a couple of hours on stock firmware but decided I would really just want to get GarlicOS running.I'm glad I did! Garlic works great on the system and it's really easy to navigate and use. The form factor of the device is just perfect for me. I got the one stylized like the original Game Boy and it feels really great, very close to the original. It's smaller in the hands with a bigger screen, but it's not TOO small like the Miyoo Mini (in my opinion) nor too bulky. It's portable enough to take with you in a case, throw it in a bag, etc., and the battery life is decent. Because it has trigger buttons, it can play the newer generation games, but I've been having too much fun playing NES and Game Boy games to need them. But they are very comfortable to use.I strongly recommend this to anyone looking to see what all the fuss is about for retro handhelds. This has an easy entry into the market, isn't terribly expensive, but has good build quality and style, and enough performance to play anything a child of the 80s and 90s would want.

Everyone seems to be comparing this thing to the Miyoo Mini, most likely due to similar specs and price point, but I honestly think my RG35XX might be my Miyoo Mini replacement!- More comfortable than Miyoo- Easier to get than Miyoo- Slightly larger than Miyoo- Runs well out of the box, runs slightly better with GarlicOSThis also feels more sturdy and premium to me than the Miyoo. I like the buttons better, especially the R/L buttons on back. The screen is absolutely perfect for GB and GBA games. Its still very pocketable IMO. The RG35XX may seem like a giant next to the Miyoo Mini, but that's just because the mini is so small. If you have and like other anbernic devices you will no doubt like this one.

The best 67$ I can not regret what amazing machine so many memories I will play all those games I used to play at the arcades

I like botht eh Miyoo mini plus and the 35XX. However the Stock OS that comes with this is so poor its laughable. The roms might as well be garbage. As well had loose screws in my SECOND unit and first unit screen died in less than a month.
