Anbernic RG35XX H

The Verdict

The RG35XX H is the RG35XX Plus in a horizontal GBA-style form factor with analog sticks. Same H700 chip, same 1GB RAM, same performance — but the horizontal layout and analog sticks make N64 and PSP gaming much better. If you want to play N64 or PSP games, this is the better choice over the Plus. Pick based on ergonomics and whether you need sticks.

First Thing to Do

1. **Install muOS or MinUI** — Stock firmware is mediocre

2. **Get a good MicroSD card** — Samsung EVO 128GB recommended

3. **Connect to WiFi** — Scrape box art, update firmware

4. **Load GBA and N64 ROMs** — This form factor is perfect for both

The Loadout

→**GBA:** gpSP (perfect, and this form factor is *chef's kiss* for GBA)
