Product Information

Chocolate Doom ( Chocolate Doom.opk): Doom Engine Port. Not working for me yet. Has a “Chocolate Setup” app to redefine controls. Press the POWER button when playing a game that uses a Retroarch core. You can adjust many settings here, but the Adam image has done a good job of optimizing these for you. Trying different cores/emulators Image writing software. We prefer either Win32 Disk Imager or Rufus. For this guide, we’ll use Rufus. Using Balena Etcher, flash the Adam firmware image to the microSD card. This process can take 10-15 minutes.

To try a different emulator, press SELECT on the game selection screen, then change the Emulator setting ( LEFT/RIGHT on the D-PAD). Glossary Adam This is the Operating System that runs on your Anbernic retro handheld device. It’s a version of Linux that’s been streamlined to run emulators most efficiently. Retroarch Retroarch provides most of the cores/emulators that run the provided games. The Retroarch menu is used to configure its cores. Core A Core is an emulator that has been adapted to work with Retroarch. Emulator An emulator allows your device to pretend that it’s a different device. For instance, the PCSX4ALL emulator enables your Anbernic retro handheld to pretend that it’s a PlayStation and run games designed for the PS1. Win32 Disk Imager– only available for Windows. This will let you create an image file of your microSD card. On the user interface side of things, Anbernic has always been better than most of the handheld emulators coming out of China when it comes to being user-friendly. But when powered up, you’re first presented with software called EmulationStation as your front end for selecting what game to play, which then launches RetroArch for actually playing the game. They both have their own settings and configurations, with EmulationStation having a hierarchy over RetroArch, and the approach can occasionally make things confusing. It also took me a while to figure out the button combo for exiting games without having to just reset the whole console. There’s lot of room for improvement, but out of the box you don’t really have to jump through too many hoops before enjoying classic games.The ADAM Image is an attempt to bring the convenient design of the EmulationStation-based image on the RG351 family, to an older series of devices. This includes a more graphical interface, and even cover art through the SimpleMenu GUI. The RG351P is a true successor to the RG350. It features a number of changes on both a hardware and software level. A partition management tool. We prefer MiniTool Partition Wizard, but you can use anything that works for you. You can learn more about the RG552 in our RG552 review. ANBERNIC Device Specifications Table (RG350 vs RG351P vs RG350M vs etc.) Category/Device Name

Although at 3.5-inches the RG351V’s screen is the same you’ll find on other Anbernic handhelds, it feels especially large and generous here, with a resolution of 640 x 480 that makes retro games look beautiful. Photo: Andrew Liszewski/Gizmodo

The different folders correspond to different platforms. i.e., “COLECO” is the folder where all your Colecovision games should go. How do I get cover art?

The design has changed entirely, and is now vertically oriented. This means that the controls are situated below the screen, rather than on the sides. Emulation worked very well throughout most of our tests. This is a small handheld, so fast-paced games get a little stressful at times and our hands started to get a little tight when we were pressing buttons as fast as we could. SDL2 has been updated from version 2.0.3 to version 2.0.12, thus allowing sound in applications that previously did not support it in the previous version (for example, in Mario 64 port it works perfectly). The shell is made of aluminium instead of plastic. Making it slightly heavier, and giving it a sturdier feel.The ANBERNIC RG350M was the successor to the RG350. It features a number of changes over the original RG350: Rondo of Blood will not let you skip the opening credits if you don’t have a save game. The game isn’t broken! Your controls will work fine when you get to the title screen. All models except for the RG351P and RG351M make use of a separate microSD card for their operating system and emulators. This will typically be a smaller SD card, while a separate larger microSD card is used for holding games.
