Anbernic RG35XXのレビュー 

I’m in my 30s now. Looking back on my childhood, Anbernic was one of my most desired birthday gifts. Holding the RG35XX today feels like a fulfillment of that childhood regret.

The base model of the RG35XX underwent a major upgrade last year, with the most significant upgrade being the chip upgrade from the Actions ATM7039S to the Allwinner H700.

In other words, the upgraded chip in the base model of the RG35XX is identical to that in the RG35XX Plus. However, the price of the upgraded base model remains the same, with no price increase.

Many people may be concerned about the differences between the upgraded 2024 base model of the RG35XX and the older base and RG35XX Plus models.

If you don’t understand the performance differences between specific models, you might end up buying a gaming console that’s not what you want.

To help you easily identify the differences between the Anbernic RG35XX Basic, RG35XX SP, RG35XX PRO, and RG35XX Plus models, we’ve compiled a comprehensive comparison of all the specifications for each console.

Core Differences between Different Anbernic RG35XX Models

Game compatibility varies significantly among the Anbernic RG35XX series models, primarily determined by processor type, memory configuration, and system optimization.

Based on the latest hardware data and PickOnes testing results, the game compatibility ranking for each model is as follows: RG35XX Basic < RG35XX Basic (2024 Upgrade) < RG35XX SP < RG35XX Plus < RG35XX Pro.

This difference is primarily reflected in support for high-performance games for consoles like the PS1, PSP, N64, and Dreamcast.

RG35XX Plus	Allwinner H700	1GB LPDDR4	Comprehensively optimize the performance of each simulator	PSP、N64、DC
RG35XX Pro	Allwinner H713	1GB LPDDR4	Best performance, support for high-definition rendering	PSP、N64、DC

1.1 Impact of hardware performance and game compatibility on games

The core determinants of game compatibility are processor performance and memory configuration.

The RG35XX Basic uses the Actions ATM7039S processor, which has relatively weak performance and can only run PS1-level games and below.

The Allwinner H700 processor offers approximately 2x the performance, enabling it to support more demanding games such as those for PSP, N64, and Dreamcast.

The latest Allwinner H713 processor offers higher clock speeds and optimizations, providing optimal game compatibility.

Regarding memory, the RG35XX Basic’s 256MB of DDR3 memory limits multitasking capabilities and the use of high-definition filters.

The RG35XX SP, RG35XX PRO, and RG35XX Plus, on the other hand, use 1GB of LPDDR4 memory, significantly improving game performance and stability.

Game Compatibility for the RG35XX Basic, RG35XX SP, RG35XX PRO, and RG35XX Plus

2.1 Game Compatibility Analysis of RG35XX Basic

The RG35XX Basic is the most basic model in the range, with game compatibility limited primarily to classic 8-bit and 16-bit console platforms.

Supported Gaming Platforms:

• Fully compatible with: FC/NES, SFC/SNES, GB/GBC/GBA, MD/Genesis, GG, PCE, NGPC, SMS, WSC, and other 8-bit and 16-bit platforms.

• Partial support: PS1 (but the effect is not ideal).

PS1 game compatibility

While the RG35XX Basic nominally supports PS1 games, its performance isn’t great. Our testing revealed noticeable stuttering and control lag on most PS1 games, along with unstable frame rates that frequently dipped below 30 FPS, significantly diminishing the overall gaming experience.

Performance limitation analysis:

The RG35XX Basic’s Actions ATM7039S processor, based on the Cortex-A9 architecture, has limited performance and cannot meet the processing requirements of PS1 games, especially 3D gaming scenarios. Furthermore, the 256MB of DDR3 RAM also becomes a performance bottleneck, limiting fast access to game data.

What games are suitable for the RG35XX Basic?

The RG35XX Basic is best suited for classic retro games that don’t demand high performance, such as 2D games from platforms like the FC, SFC, GB, GBA, and MD. For these games, the RG35XX Basic delivers a stable 60-frame experience, fully satisfying the needs of nostalgic gaming.

2.2 Game Compatibility Analysis for RG35XX Basic (2024 Upgrade)

The RG35XX Basic (2024 Upgrade), launched in 2024, has comprehensively upgraded its core hardware while retaining its original appearance, achieving a qualitative leap in game compatibility.

Hardware upgrade highlights:

• Processor upgraded to Allwinner H700 (quad-core Cortex-A53 architecture, 1.5GHz clock speed).
• Memory upgraded to 1GB LPDDR4.
• Support added for high-performance platforms such as PSP, DC, and N64.

The RG35XX Basic (2024 Upgrade) features significantly improved PS1 game compatibility. Most PS1 games run smoothly at a stable 60 frames per second, and even 3D games maintain a high level of smoothness.

Testing revealed that classic PS1 titles, such as “Final Fantasy VII” and “Resident Evil 3,” run at full frame rate on the RG35XX Basic (2024 Upgrade).

PSP Game Compatibility:

This is one of the biggest highlights of the RG35XX Basic (2024 Upgrade). The RG35XX Basic (2024 Upgrade) can run most PSP games, especially 2D or lightly 3D titles.

For example, popular PSP games like “God of War” and “Vice City Stories” can run on the RG35XX Basic (2024 Upgrade). However, you’ll need to enable the 30 FPS cheat to achieve a smooth experience.

RG35XX Basic (2024 Upgrade) N64 game compatibility:

The RG35XX Basic (2024 Upgrade) offers limited support for N64 games, enabling it to run only simpler N64 titles, such as Super Mario 64. Even these titles may experience stuttering and unstable frame rates. Complex N64 games often struggle to deliver a satisfactory gaming experience.

RG35XX Basic (2024 Upgrade) Dreamcast game compatibility:

The RG35XX Basic (2024 Upgrade) also has limited support for Dreamcast games. Crazy Taxi can reach around 40 frames, Ikaruga at around 45 frames, and Marvel vs. Capcom can basically reach 60 frames.

RG35XX Basic (2024 Upgrade) compatibility with other platforms:

In addition to the aforementioned gaming platforms, the RG35XX Basic (2024 Upgrade) also supports NDS, DOS, and more, outperforming the basic model on these platforms. The upgraded version is particularly effective with NDS emulators, enabling HD mode for significantly improved image quality.
