Anbernic RG35XX Pro 64GB Vertical Retro Gaming Handheld Emulation Console

The Anbernic RG35XX Pro is a compact vertical retro gaming handheld designed for portable emulation with a traditional Game Boy-style layout and modern dual analogue controls.

Its 3.5-inch OCA laminated IPS display combines a 640 × 480 resolution with a classic 4:3 aspect ratio. This makes it particularly well suited to compatible home-console, arcade, handheld and original PlayStation software while providing a sharp, well-proportioned image.

An Allwinner H700 quad-core processor, Mali-G31 MP2 graphics and 1GB of LPDDR4 system memory power the 64-bit Linux interface. Performance is strongest across 8-bit, 16-bit, arcade, Game Boy Advance and original PlayStation software, with selected Nintendo 64, Dreamcast and PSP titles also playable depending on the emulator and settings used.

Two low-profile analogue sticks sit alongside the D-pad, four face buttons and four shoulder controls, expanding the range of compatible 3D games, racers, shooters and arcade releases. Built-in vibration adds compatible force feedback, while the contoured vertical casing remains compact enough for portable use.

Dual-band 2.4GHz and 5GHz Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2 support compatible online features, external controllers and firmware-dependent streaming functions. Wired and dedicated 2.4GHz controllers can also be connected where supported, while Mini-HDMI output allows compatible software to be displayed on a television or monitor.

This Retrolize configuration includes a genuine 64GB SanDisk microSD card with the Linux system prepared and configured, full game artwork throughout and a protective EVA carry case. Two microSD card slots provide additional storage flexibility, with compatible cards supported up to 512GB.

The 3200mAh rechargeable battery provides up to approximately seven hours of use depending on brightness, volume, wireless connectivity, emulator and system load. Charging is handled through USB-C using a compatible regulated 5V power source.

Finished in Black, the Anbernic RG35XX Pro is dispatched from UK stock with worldwide tracked delivery to supported destinations and a 12-month Retrolize warranty.

A system being listed as supported means that the RG35XX Pro is capable of running compatible software for that platform. It does not mean that games for that system are included on the console.

Emulation Performance: Performance varies between individual games, emulators, firmware versions and settings. More demanding Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, PSP and Sega Saturn titles may require adjusted settings and are not guaranteed to run at full speed.

Included Systems: A system being listed as supported does not mean that games for that system are included on the console. It means that the RG35XX Pro is capable of running compatible software for that platform.

System Memory: The RG35XX Pro includes 1GB of LPDDR4 system memory.

4:3 Display: The 4:3 screen is particularly well suited to many classic home-console, arcade and original PlayStation games. Platforms that use wider or narrower display ratios may appear with borders or letterboxing.

No Touchscreen: The display is not touch-sensitive. Nintendo DS games that depend heavily on touchscreen input may be difficult or unsuitable to play.

Analogue Sticks: The two low-profile analogue sticks improve control in compatible Nintendo 64, Dreamcast, PSP and arcade games. Players wanting larger controls for extended 3D gaming may prefer a larger horizontal handheld.

Linux Operating System: The RG35XX Pro uses a 64-bit Linux operating system and does not run Android applications.

Charging Requirements: Charge from a compatible regulated 5V power source at up to 1.5A. USB-C to USB-C charging is supported when the power source provides a compatible 5V output.

Charging Damage: Do not use faulty, non-compliant or unsuitable chargers, cables or power supplies that force unsupported voltage, current or fast-charging modes. Damage caused by incompatible charging equipment is not covered by the Retrolize warranty.

HDMI Cable: HDMI television output is supported through the Mini-HDMI connection, but an HDMI cable is not included.

Wi-Fi: “5G Wi-Fi” refers to the 5GHz Wi-Fi band and does not provide cellular or mobile-data connectivity.

Memory Card Backup: Back up the supplied SanDisk microSD card before changing firmware, partitions or system files.

Firmware Changes: Installing third-party firmware or altering system files is undertaken at the user’s own risk. Confirm compatibility with the exact RG35XX Pro hardware revision before making changes.

Retrolize Anbernic Warranty

All Anbernic handheld consoles purchased from Retrolize are covered by a 12-month limited warranty against manufacturing defects and hardware faults arising during normal use.

Each console includes a unique 7-digit warranty code, which must remain present and readable on the device for a warranty claim to be accepted. If the warranty code is missing, altered or unreadable, Retrolize may be unable to provide warranty support.

If the console develops a genuine hardware fault during the warranty period, Retrolize will inspect the device and, where appropriate, repair it, replace it or provide another suitable solution.

The warranty does not cover accidental damage, liquid damage, cracked screens, misuse, forced or damaged connections, normal cosmetic wear, expected battery-performance changes, corrupted storage caused by user modification, or problems resulting from user-made software, firmware or system changes.

Damage caused by an unsuitable charger, cable, power supply or adapter is not covered. This includes damage caused by excessive voltage or current, incompatible fast-charging modes, poor voltage regulation or operation outside the stated 5V/1.5A charging requirement.

To make a warranty claim, contact Retrolize with the order number and a clear description of the fault. Photographs or video may be requested to assist with diagnosis.

This warranty is provided in addition to the customer’s statutory rights and applies to products purchased directly from Retrolize or an official Retrolize partner. The separate 14-day returns policy continues to apply to eligible purchases.

Is The Anbernic RG35XX Pro Ready To Play?

Yes. The RG35XX Pro is ready to play straight from the box with no additional setup required.

What Is The Difference Between The RG35XX Pro & RG35XX 2024?

The RG35XX Pro adds two analogue sticks, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.2 and a larger 3200mAh battery. Both systems use an H700 processor, 1GB of memory and a 3.5-inch 640 × 480 display, but the Pro provides broader controls and wireless connectivity.

Why Is The 4:3 Display Good For Retro Games?

Many classic home consoles, arcade systems and original PlayStation games were designed around a 4:3 display. The RG35XX Pro’s matching screen ratio allows compatible software to make efficient use of the display with minimal wasted space.

Which Systems Run Best?

Game Boy, Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, NES, Super Nintendo, Mega Drive, PC Engine, Neo Geo, arcade and original PlayStation software are particularly well suited to the hardware.

Does It Play Nintendo 64, Dreamcast & PSP Games?

Selected games are playable, but performance varies considerably between individual titles, emulators and settings. Full compatibility with every game is not guaranteed.

Does It Play Sega Saturn Games?

Selected Sega Saturn software may run, but performance is limited and highly game-dependent. The RG35XX Pro is not recommended primarily for Sega Saturn emulation.

Does It Have A Touchscreen?

No. Nintendo DS titles that require frequent or precise touchscreen input may be unsuitable.

Does It Run Android?

No. The RG35XX Pro is a Linux-based handheld and does not run Android applications.

Can It Connect To A Television?

Yes. The Mini-HDMI output can connect the console to a compatible television or monitor. An HDMI cable is not included.

Can I Connect External Controllers?

Yes. Compatible wired USB, dedicated 2.4GHz and Bluetooth controllers are supported, depending on their connection method and the installed firmware.

Can Multiple External Controllers Be Connected?

Compatible multiplayer configurations are supported by suitable controllers, games, emulators and firmware. Actual controller support varies between systems and connection methods.

Can The RG35XX Pro Stream Games?

Compatible firmware and software can support network streaming from suitable equipment. Performance depends on the installed software, network quality and source device.

Can The Storage Be Expanded?

Yes. The console has two microSD card slots and supports compatible storage cards up to 512GB.

Is The Supplied Card A Genuine SanDisk Card?

Yes. This Retrolize configuration includes a genuine 64GB SanDisk microSD card rather than a generic unbranded card.

Can I Install Different Firmware?

Compatible third-party firmware may be available, but installing it is undertaken at the user’s own risk. Back up the original card and confirm support for the exact RG35XX Pro hardware revision before proceeding.

Is International Delivery Available?
