Pick a game and it will start it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From the main menu you have plenty of options you can configure. You can connect to the WiFi for game data scraping if you add any new games, and also play multiplayer on compatible emulators. You can also safely shutdown the system from here, which we recommend doing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Android OS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Android operating system gives you a bit more freedom in what you can do, but that does come at the cost of having to set everything up. There are a number of emulators pre-installed including the PlayStation 2 emulator AetherSX2, Dolphin, PlayStation emulator DuckStation, FBNeo, Mupen64Plus, Mega Drive emulator, and Saturn emulator Yabasanshiro. You will need to set the game folder locations and maybe set up controls and tweak the settings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Android-OS-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Android OS on RG3553P\" class=\"wp-image-22391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Android-OS-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Android-OS-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Android-OS-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Android-OS-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Android-OS-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Android-OS-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Android-OS-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Android-OS.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Android OS on RG3553P<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>You also have RetroArch from which you can download dozens of different emulators, ranging from the Amstrad CPC series, Commodore, Fairchild and Vectrex, up to the PSP era. Not everything will work 100%,  but it&#8217;s a great place to start when trying different classic consoles and computers. You will need to download the system cores and scan your SD card for the games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is worth noting that the Google Play Store app is not installed. You may be able to get it installed, but we did not try it. You are however able to install any APK you wish to. Or install <a href=\"https:\/\/f-droid.org\/packages\/com.aurora.store\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Aurora Store<\/a> which is like a Play Store alternative and works great. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-hdmi-output\">HDMI Output&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Both Android and Linux OS support output from the <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.eu\/hu\/product\/anbernic-rg353p-handheld-gaming-console\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RG353P<\/a> to your TV or monitor.

We could not get any games running at an enjoyable speed, the processor is far too slow to perform a miracle and get something playable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-psp\">PSP<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The PSP is however a bit more enjoyable when it comes to playing games on the PPSSPP emulator. For Linux we get an overall slower performance, so we suggest using the Android version. Games such as Tekken 6 are hovering in the mid 40\u2019s to 50\u2019s so using Frame Skip 1 will smooth things out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-PPSSPP-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"PPSSPP Linux version\" class=\"wp-image-22451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-PPSSPP-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-PPSSPP-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-PPSSPP-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-PPSSPP-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-PPSSPP-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-PPSSPP-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-PPSSPP-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-PPSSPP.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>PPSSPP Linux version<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We were suggested to try Retro City Rampage by Lee Collins on Facebook. It runs great and you don\u2019t need to frame skip, you could even increase the graphics rendering a bit to make the game look nicer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-dolphin\">Dolphin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Our last emulator to test are the both consoles that Dolphin supports. We start off with Burnout 2 which is an average demanding game. We are getting around the mid 30\u2019s area which is not too bad. We tried a few different games, some are very playable but there are also many that run too slow to play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Dolphin-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Dolphin emulator with Burnout 2\" class=\"wp-image-22456\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Dolphin-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Dolphin-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Dolphin-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Dolphin-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Dolphin-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Dolphin-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Dolphin-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Dolphin.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Dolphin emulator with Burnout 2<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>We also tried the other console Dolphin supports and the games are not very playable. You might find a few basic games that run well, but overall it&#8217;s not something you would buy this handheld to emulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-final-thoughts\">Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.eu\/hu\/product\/anbernic-rg353p-handheld-gaming-console\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RG353P<\/a> is a nice improvement on the previous <a href=\"https:\/\/droix.eu\/hu\/product\/anbernic-rg503\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">RG503<\/a> which uses the same processor. You now have access to Linux and Android operating systems. If you just want to jump in and play, then Linux is great for this. If you don&#8217;t mind a bit of setting up, then Android is there for you. Personally I prefer Linux on this handheld, while it&#8217;s not perfect, it is far less hassle as you just add your games and get playing. With Android it takes far longer to get the same results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Thrash-Rally-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"Thrash Rally on Neo Geo\" class=\"wp-image-22461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Thrash-Rally-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Thrash-Rally-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Thrash-Rally-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Thrash-Rally-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Thrash-Rally-450x253.jpg 450w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Thrash-Rally-780x439.jpg 780w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Thrash-Rally-1600x900.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/droix.net\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/06\/RG353P-Review-Thrash-Rally.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Thrash Rally on Neo Geo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are on the previous generation of handheld processor or looking for a new one to start with, then the RG353P is a definite handheld to consider buying.
