Review on ๐ŸŽฎ DREAMHAX Transparent Handheld Console with Enhanced Resolution by Travis Oetting

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Well built, fast and durable portable emulator, easy to use.

I have many PDA emulators. Many are cheap, slow, lightweight plastic machines that can barely play anything SNES or higher, while others are expensive and can handle just about anything thrown at them. Some have cheap screens while others display great. I didn't think the DREAAMHAX RG351V (Anbernic) handheld game console would cost a little over $100, but it really does. The DREAMHAX RG351V handheld game console comes in a plain white box. In the hole you will find a pocket computer, a USB-C charging cable and manuals. The device features a D-Pad, joystick (with pressing R3), ABXY buttons, launch/select buttons, menu button, L1/L2 R1/R2 triggers, power, reset, and volume rockers. There's a headphone jack, 2 USB-C ports (one for power and one for the USB-C host/second controller), and 2 microSD card slots (one with a 16GB OS card and one with a 64GB -playing card) . There's even a forced feedback motor for device vibration, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. When you pick up the DREAMXAX RG351V handheld game console, you will immediately feel the quality. The weight, joystick movement, slim D-pad and buttons show that the design of this device has really been thought through. When you buy an open source system like this, the hardware is everything and I think they got it right. Turning on and booting the EmulationStation takes about 15 seconds. Retroarch can also be run, but it's not as clean and simple as Emulationstation. The operating system is a bit outdated, so you might want to update it. It supports Nintendo DS, Final Burn NEO, MAME, WonderSwan Color, Capcom 1/2/3, OS Games, MSX, TurboGraphix, NES, Gameboy, SNES, N64, GBC, GBA, Open Beats of Rage, Genesis, GameGear, Megadrive . , Dreamcast, NeoGeo, NeoGeo Pocket, PS1 and PSP. Many games are Japanese versions so make sure you know what you are getting and have your own ROM packs for that. The presentation is just great. You could easily use a TFT screen like many other systems, but this is a bright IPS display. The Rockchip 3326 processor is a beast and this machine really helps it shine. Although some 3D games freeze from time to time, updating the operating system and emulators should be enough to fix these problems. The ARM Mail-G31 MP2 should be able to handle these games, so make sure your emulators are set to use 3D hardware acceleration. While the software needs some improvement, all of these devices are hardware related and this is where the DREAMXAX RG351V portable game console shines. Everyone I've shown it to wants it and I highly recommend it. I've never given a device emulator 5 stars before, so all 5 stars are well deserved.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Bad instructions
