Anbernic is releasing a new emulation handheld called RG34XX. Here are the details:

  • Supported Platforms: Over 30, including PSP, N64, DS, DOS, Dreamcast, PS1, etc.
  • Screen: 3.4-inch IPS with a resolution of 720x480
  • OS: 64-bit Linux
  • Features: 5G Wi-Fi, HDMI-out, and Bluetooth 4.2

The RG34XX will be available in four colours: indigo, green transparent, red transparent, and black.

What do you think about the fact that they've mimicked the design of the GBA so closely?

Idk I dont see the advantage of this over the RG35XXSP. I guess if you really like the gba form factor but tbh this seems like they're banking on nostalgia while doing very little new. Every few months Ambernic releases a new one of these with very little improvements and a different form factor. Me personally I would love to see them try a Steam Deck style handheld with a low end embedded ryzen processor for $150-$200.
