Really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks :)

Same with my laptop!

My laptop is 3:2 and it looks exactly the same as yours there. Not super readable is it :(

Its the Anbernic RG40XXH!

This looks amazing!

But yes, the aftermarket replacement shells are often quite good (or, equally often not good at all - they’re a gamble whether they’ll be a nice one or not!) But the sticks are known to be bad. People tend to stick with original sticks, from what I recall.

Though your effort looks amazing, I love the transparent shell!

Fix it up completely!!! Consider this your reminder to do so

It was funny seeing Anbernic do their own (very) chunky take on the PSP Go recently, for a retro handheld.

I got you sorted!!!

This is a totally new model. That one was larger and had thumb-sticks, this one’s much smaller and ditched the sticks (and yes, fixed the hinge woes!)

I shudder to think if I were so brave as to use the same banana each time. It would be a bit worse for wear by now!

(small edit) Actually, this may very well be the same one as from my last review!

I think it’s pretty obvious that they’re both very much drawing inspiration from the SP.

And that FunKey might even push my younger eyes to be squinting! 5 years of play time is amazing for one of these, well done!

I’ll test that game for you!

Will come back here and edit this comment with my findings :)

I get asked this question a fair bit! Each time ive shared a review recently I added a banana pic. I tend to get asked what my review of said banana is.

But I have an autoimmune disease where potassium is terrible for me! So…I never know how good these bananas are :(

Potassium + PerfectDark = doom and destruction. Banana for illustrative and measuring purposes only.

It did look good though?

My friend is a dev for PortMaster (spoiler, interview coming soon with klops and the team!), and he has one of these.

So…‘maybe’? Unsure for now, maybe is all I can say.

Nope. Well, technically it could with a handful of very very light 3DS titles. But its just not powerful enough for the 3DS.

He was right, about a whole lot. But he also ran it and reviewed it as it was sent to him, which was broken and requiring an update.

Thankfully both Anbernic and Gamma have fixes now. Gamma’s is actually far more extensive. But for a retail experience, its fine.

I maintain that as a modern DS, its wonderful. Emulating everything else…not so much. I wouldn’t buy this to play PSX or SNES, but I would for DS.

Thanks for reading my review :)

That’s the one!

Russ had his video out pretty quick, and while some issues aren’t fixed, some were with the update Anbernic pushed out.

Its getting some hate, and some is deserved, but I can’t help but just love this device!

They’re just (basically) two 4" phone screens, one above the other. So its only going to be modern capacitive stylus like is pictured.

That’s the ‘trade-off’ with these. You get modern and bright, upscale screens but you lose that original stylus input.

That said, I’m obsessed with the DSi consoles, and I’ve actually enjoyed using this stylus on it. Or, whatever misgivings I initially had disappeared after an hour or so, when I got used to it.

That sounds super interesting!

Also makes me sad that all that has disappeared now to time. I’d love to have seen it :(

An easy mistake to make!

You’ll be thinking of my good friend Gardiner, whose YouTube channel is well known!

But no, I just write on his site. I used to contribute to a bunch of sites and spaces you might know, but these days I only share articles on his site.

And thank you! I appreciate that, glad you enjoyed this one :)

I’m so glad to hear my review helped! Youre going to love the Odin 3!
