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


Glad to hear! I ordered a blue one today. I am sad they dont offer the glossy finish anymore, but the matte will look just as cool. Thanks for the update!!
I never played any DS growing up, but my girlfriend did and I’m excited to try them out. If it works well enough, I’ll get her one as well.
