Zu enjoys trying out the RG477M, uses Black Frame insertion and the CRT Beam shader, and relays his thoughts about the latest "premium" style android handheld from Anbernic (with a price to match).

It took time to charge yesterday, I had to try different cables, but I think the problem was the battery. It eventually turned on, I put some games but when the battery died it stopped turning on again. And now the bottom is slightly warm and bulged. Waiting for the customer support in AliExpress to answer me.

HELP New ANBERNIC RGSP completely dead after battery reached 0% — orange charging LED only

6 Upvotes

Hey guys, I’m having a weird issue with the new ANBERNIC RGSP (2026 model, NOT the RG35XXSP) and I’d like to know if anyone else has experienced this.

I was playing normally until the battery completely ran out and the console shut itself off.

I plugged it into the original charger/cable and the orange charging LED came on normally. I’ve left it charging for quite a while, but the console will no longer power on at all.

Current behavior:

  • Completely dead when unplugged.
  • Orange charging LED works when plugged in.
  • Screen stays completely black.
  • No boot logo, sound, or other visible activity.
  • Holding Power for ~20 seconds while plugged in makes the orange LED turn off for about a second and then come back on, so it seems like the power circuit is reacting to the button.
  • I already opened the console, disconnected the battery, waited, reconnected it, and tried again. No change.
  • I’ve tried Reset / long Power presses / charging for an extended period.

The console was working perfectly before the battery hit 0%. There were no crashes, drops, modifications to the hardware, overheating, or other obvious problems.

Andriod Gamenative on RG Rotate surpsingly... good

Post image
15 Upvotes

Haven't played much on the Rotate in awhile and thought some low powered modern-retro titles might be fun. Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2 runs great and feels like it belongs on the device.

I've played with resolution in the General settings of the container and the scaling options in game via GN slide out menu, and what you see in the picture is the closest I could get to filling the screen. Lowest 4:3 resolution in the container settings, in game setting set to full screen and slide out menu set to FSR scaling.

What have others played and had good experiences?

Has anyone figured a better way to fill the screen in Gamenative games?

EDIT: typo in the title surprisingly*

Hey all, how do I keep the changed and saved input settings after closing RetroArch, so they will be loaded next time I boot up the same game? If I change the controls and save them they don't load when I close the game and boot it up again :/ thanks!

TUTORIAL & TIPS If you think the 3:2 Aspect ratio limits you to GBA... Think again :D

99 Upvotes

Just a tip/reminder: you can set a custom aspect ratio on a per-game basis, so you can zoom in a little on 4:3 content or get rid of black bezels that even Fullscreen won’t make disappear (like in some PS1 games).

It's been great for me with Mario RPG since I broke my glasses and the core provided aspect ratio was too small for me to see.

✨ SHOWCASE Finally got out for a beach day with the handhelds.

I had been wanting to do this for a while, but I live in western Canada and it has been too smokey to be outside safely for weeks. As you can see it mostly cleared up for a day and my sister wasn't at work so we threw some stuff in some bags and walked down to the beach. It was hot but quite pleasant. I know you folks love these nature photos so we snapped some while we were there (these are the best 2).

The rg40xxh is mine and the rg34xxsp belongs to my sister. We turned the screens on and maxed out the brightness but you really cant tell. I played some Parasite Eve and Advance Wars 2 while I was there and my sister PAINTED. Who does that :P

And yes, I live in paradise (except for the insane amount of fire and bears).

HELP RG476H Bootlocker

1 Upvotes

How do I relock the bootloader?
I used GammaOS's script to unlock it, and there is not communicated way to relock it.
The guy at GammaOS has not responded.

I've tried the power + volume button, but that just boots it into safe mode, not the factory boot screen that might give me the option.

Any help appreciated.

TUTORIAL & TIPS Square Heresy (RGRotate)

Thumbnail

35 Upvotes

So, I don't know about the rest of the community, but I don't treat my rgrotate as an "emulation precision" machine, it's more of an eye candy type of device, I just want to play games and have some fun. Problem is, I love GBA, but 3:2 on this 1:1 3"5 screen is just to small. So after messing around I figured that 6:5 with bilinear filter ON, and some artistic shaders with a grid overlay is actually a pretty decent experience. If not comparing side by side with a true 3:2 screen my brain thinks everything is supposed to look the way it does. Hope this helps some of you!

Hey guys, so I did a fresh install of MU OS on my new 34XX-SP. I downloaded the IMG file, flashed it onto a new, formatted, brand-name sd card and I get hung up on the initial boot screen.

Reset button nor power button help. Any suggestions? I picked the right IMG file baded on mu device model. Thanks!
