It's a greate device for NDS and below emulation. I'm running mine with GammaOS 1.4.4. The only thing I wish for is a stylus with mesh or disc tip. I bought a separate stylus with both and the difference is significant, especially for rhythm games. I'd really appreciate it if you could offer mesh substitute tips for the built-in stylus.
Excellent device for DS emulation. The screens have 4x perfect DS integer scaling so games look sharp and the build quality is really good. One of the best devices Anbernic ever made, especially for the price.
Very gud quality, can play laggy wii u. Better than rg 406 v
I absolutely LOVE this thing! I watched reviews before I bought it and almost didn't get it because everyone was complaining about it being awkward to use and hold but it is totally fine! I have large hands also, maybe it's better for me but I have no complaints about this other than that it isn't also a cellphone! (Then I could literally only carry ONE device!). It's amazing and cool and works great and I can't wait for a more powerful (and maybe a little bit smaller for pocketability) one and Anbernic PLEASE oh please make this a phone!!!
Super ideal way to play GBA games without blowing a ton of money. The build quality is very solid and the range of software that can be used on it makes it a very fun device to play and tinker with.
It's a great controller that's missing one important feature. You need the ability to map keyboard keys to the back buttons. F5 for example (to quick save) or other keyboard keys for functions that are not generally found on a controller. My main controller has this feature and it's extremely useful.
Very good handheld system!
fantastic little handheld!
The bag was for the RG DS Plus. Arrived fast and fit the handheld great. Would recommend getting one.
A great device for a small price!
I like the solid feel of the device and its versatility. I use it for playing video games but also for listening to music and audiobooks. It is perfect for when I have a doctor's appointment. I then use my bluetooth earbuds in order to not disturb the other patients. At the price point at which I bought it was a good deal. I hope that Anbernic will one day provide a more powerful successor. I am sure that, as long as it is made of metal and had an OLED display, I would be willing to pay quite a bit more! ;-) [hint, hint]
A perfectly decent game console. A slight disappointment, however, to find that the bottom touchscreen isn't properly secured within the casing, which means I have to be very careful with it.
Great hardware: Solid build, good battery life, above average responsiveness on buttons and joy sticks. Decent software: Software customization and usage can be clunky, especially with subpar memory cards provided, but this should be expected for custom equipment.
It’s a very good console, it looking very nostalgic and similar to original gameboy, the games are looking great with color and pixel correction shaders
Parfait
I'm very happy with this protective bag for the RG DDS. The build quality is excellent, and the material feels durable and reliable. It fits the device perfectly and provides great protection against scratches, dust, and minor bumps. The zipper works smoothly, and the design is compact and practical, making it easy to carry and store. It's a great accessory for keeping my device safe and in good condition. Highly recommended!
A great console. I really love it, and it's brought back some wonderful memories. The stock firmware is fast and simple enough for my needs, and I'm very impressed that the native music player supports FLAC files. I have no real complaints about the emulation, because it does everything that I need it to do, and plays all the games I want to play. DS games work just fine, even with some very slight hitches here and there if you enter/exit external menus during gameplay (nnddss, not drastic). Still, the performance is fine and I have no issues there. The only thing I'd say needs some improvement is the stylus. It's fantastic that the console comes with one but the tip has quite a lot of friction, being that it's made of rubber. It's also not very precise. A narrower tip, perhaps made of something smoother or softer would have worked better, given the capacitive screen.
Very comfortable on your hands. User friendly. Good processor. Battery could be better around 5-6 hours of non stop playtime, but a three hour charge.
Runs DS well as well as anything up to PS1 generation. The stylus it comes with leaves much to be desired but even including one is kinda nice. For a dedicated DS device it does what you'd want it to do very well. Android is a little clunky as an OS but I've been too lazy to change and it doesn't get in the way too badly. Would buy again.
Great controls, good material, nice distribution and size, the only concern I have is the low battery capacity (like 3 hrs) and not having a good OS available (nor stock or CFW) to play the DS console.
Guys listen, if you're thinking about buying this thing and you can do some basic file transfers and downloads on any old laptop I highly recommend this. I was able to reflash the original OS with the help of support onto my own 64gb SD card and download 30 more gigs of my own games as well. It was as easy as download, unzip, and drop into the folder. Its not a gimmick, it runs literally everything from og pong, arcade games, Atari etc all the way up to PS1 and most of the decent PSP games (excluding a small few heavy games) and I absolutely LOVE IT the ui feels smooth and if you don't like it there's like 5 other options or you just download a custom OS The buttons and sticks and triggers all work so well and are super satisfying, rumble works great in supported games, remapping controls is insane and I highly recommend the ready to run games on portmaster as you don't need a wifi connection but if you do get the wifi dongle for it that's even better too 10/10 and thanks again to all the beautiful support people, these guys emailed me back fast, every single day, multiple days in a row to help me fix this thing and I can't thank them enough 😊😊👍🏻👍🏻
Nice product, seemingly well built.
Im only going to list the negatives that i encountered, but everything else is quite good! -some of the preinstalled post processing shaders are too taxing for the system to run, and these probably should have been removed. -the touch screen feels a little iffy compared to official hardware, but you can get used to it. -the included screen protectors are not very good, and will be unusable if you mess up installation just one time. Fortunately, the clamshell design means you dont really need a screen protector for most circumstances. -Retroarch screen border overlay settings will not save properly for some reason. Could just be a me issue. Aside from these few gripes, i am very happy with the cost and quality. Recommend this console for DS, GBA, SNES, Genesis and NES titles. Basic PS1 and PSP games also function acceptably, though PSP will have incorrect aspect ratio.
I have bought multiple devices from these are ive been liking them alot just wish there was more of the 12gb ram versions
Got the anbernic rg35xx h about a month ago and it is working amazingly. I got a new sd card and put a bunch of games on it, ps1 and under work great with no issues! My only complaint is that I want to get one for my older parents, but I wish turning off the console was a little easier/ more intuitive for them to use. If there was a "child mode" I could enable that would prevent them from messing with setting and such, that would be cool.
Great product. Would like to see some UI adjustments. Its 100% user friendly and there was confusion with the sd card provided needing to be attached for the device to start. One would assume the internal software would be installed on the device, not a removable sd card next to the removable game sd card. So just a few things to upgrade
Awesome! Just like my childhood console.
The RG ds plus is an awesome handheld. I love the firmware it's easy to navigate so easy to use. Love the NNDDSS emu. The RG ds plus has been my go-to handheld thank you for such a fantastic purchase price for this handheld I will shop with you again.
Me encanta esta consola, es muy buena, excelente calidad de material, muy buena pantalla y su software preinstalado como los emuladores y el android es muy intuitivo, la he personalizado, comprarlo desde la pagina oficial y el seguimiento de envio, lo recomiendo, que tambien a su area de soporte previo a la compra solicite ciertos certificados en caso tuviera inconvenientes con la aduana de mi país me facilitaron, que por suerte no tuve ningún inconveniente.
I was hesitant, but glad I bought this thing. Ghosting issues are gone as far as I can tell, d pad is great despite some reviews. Maybe fixed or maybe differs unit to unit. Highly recommend! I've got all handheld systems on it plus gen 4 and under consoles. es-de is fantastic on it!
Got this to play GBA games as I like mechanical buttons. Works very well, no complaints.
The ANBERNIC RG DS Plus is exact to its online description and an incredible device. The matte metallic blue finish looks great and has a fantastic tactile feel. Being able to take my entire game library on the go without hauling fragile original cartridges is a game-changer, bringing back cherished memories while keeping them preserved. Everything arrived fast, packaged securely, and in excellent condition. My only wish for future devices is to have screen protectors professionally pre-installed, as I’m not a big fan of applying them myself. Thanks so much, Anbernic!
A lovely handheld that for me feels great in the hand, whether playing DS games or games from other systems. I bought two, one each for myself and my daughter. The stylus completes the feel for me and was missed on the RG DS, which was a shame. The screen hinge is firm, so holds in place well. Screen and build quality are excellent for the price. The included firmware can be a bit clunky, but is very usable. I highly recommend the RG DS Plus👍
The build quality seems excellent. The ergonomics are definitely good. The device fully achieves its purpose, and through the available custom firmwares, it is possible to further tailor the user experience to one's needs.
Using my RG DS Plus more than a week ago, and I should say this is my fav DS handheld at the moment. I also own New 3ds XL, DSi XL, DS lite. Screens are great, sound nice and balanced, setup was easy and quick. I still using the stock firmware, the Anbernic own NNDDSS emulator just works fine. I went with the Black colour but wish to go with the Blue. Stylus works fine, but waiting for replacement mesh tip for better glide on the scrreen. Only one thing what hoped for, bigger battery and faster charging. In 2026 this shouldn't be a big problem. I don't need superfast charging just a bit faster.
🔥
Great device! . Has a lot of games, only wish it had Mario Bros cause that’s my childhood game, but over all impressed on how effective it is considering the price and amount of games there is! Extremely recommend, I might buy another device here soon.
Bought it as a present for my sister but now I want one for me.
The RG DS+ is the definitve console for anyone that grew up with the Nintendo DS. The default OS is fine but I suggest looking into Gamma OS Nano for even better performances
Really great
I love this more than my steam deck because the smaller screen and comfortability lol
Great design, very nostalgic feel, Im faithful the OS will get and update(maybe), I wish I new that planned on releasing the RG DDS, but hey Im satisfied.
It’s a winner! The Thor is great, but pricey. The refurbished DS lites are about $100. The RG DS is a great replacement and its new, not refurbished. The screens are bigger (think 3ds) and that’s fine, as it still fits in my pocket. The performance is great, and the feel of it is great, except maybe the R2 button, takes a little getting used to, because it is so close to the R1 button. I’ve had it now for about a month a play it quite a lot, so it’s not a problem anymore. The price was right in comparison to DS lites and others, the layout good, the controls are great and performance is great. What more could you want?
I saw your new RG DDS, the slope of the shell seems slightly more rounded, I still prefer this RG DS plus "boxy" round edge design, which the slope is more concentrated on the edge of the device, and rest of the surface is all flat. RG DS was too boxy.
This is such a fun device. You can use it stock which is very user friendly, or you can upload a custom OS and unlock even more potential. If you like tinkering, this device lets you without any restrictions. You could even have multiple SD cards setup with different OSs, just pop whatever OS you want and go. Out of the box this thing is great. Just buy it already!
I’m having a lot of fun especially since I’ve finally learned how to add OS firmware and games on my pc. I’m not computer savvy at all and I stayed up all evening into the next morning learning. I’m enjoying my RG DS Plus and I’m excited for the RG DDS. I’m hoping Anbernic waits until the end of October to drop the new handheld which will give me time to get it. Also I’m looking forward to getting a RG Slide in white color it says that it’s sold out in that color. Thank you Anbernic I really enjoy shopping with you. I’m happy and gaming.
The RGDS Plus is the best device to revist DS Classics. Paired with GammaOS or ROCKNIXDS and you can't go wrong.
Excellent product, only complain is that the memory card failed before the first 24 hours, but after getting a new one it has not given me any issues.
Brilliant device. Very happy with my purchase, quick delivery time and order process communicated throughout.
una excelente consoló portátil y me llegó hasta México en poco tiempo, recomendable
