So Anbernic sent me their RG DS to review.

  • They had a terrible desync issue for the first week-and-a-bit (you might have seen some YouTube reviews showing this). Which meant the top screen went to 40Hz after 30-40 seconds, while the bottom screen kept 60Hz. Basically that means DS games ended up looking awful and mismatched.
  • They updated it a couple days back, which fixed that issue!
  • Other issues are there (shortish battery life, the unit can feel warm - no big deal to me - other systems emulate either nicely or poorly

(cat tax, this is my cat Ciri with the RG DS)

Then I forgot to move my finger from closing a car door on it, which left me with a REALLY deep cut in my index finger, on the top joint. The second half of this review was SO hard to type up. Typing right now is not fun either.

So writing this up has taken me…20 mins?

Anyway, you can follow this link here and read my full review if you’re at all interested. There’s a lot of photos, and separate experiences with playing the games and emulating various systems

OR

You can just ask me RG DS questions here, I’m happy to laboriously type responses if you’d prefer that method :)

    Thanks for sharing this review, it’s great to see your reviews and interviews here.

    I’ve seen a similar recent DS-emulation system review and they were playing Rhythm Heaven, and what really looked like it would bother me is the emulation input latency (it appeared roughly 10-20ms). Have you played Rhythm Heaven or other latency-sensitive games and do you notice any input delay?
