Quick answer
The ANBERNIC RG 34XX is a compact retro handheld built around a 3.4-inch 720x480 IPS screen and an H700 quad-core processor, making it a strong fit for classic systems up to PlayStation 1 and Dreamcast. If you want a pocketable device with a sharp display for retro emulation, it is worth considering.
What the screen and processor mean for everyday play
The 3.4-inch IPS panel with OCA full lamination and a 720x480 resolution gives you crisp pixel scaling for older consoles. The H700 quad-core CPU and dual-core G31 MP2 GPU are modest by modern standards, but they are sufficient for the systems the RG 34XX lists, including PSP, PS1, DC, and NDS. Expect smooth performance on 2D titles and lighter 3D games; the most demanding PSP and Dreamcast titles may need frame-skip or lower settings.
Who should skip this handheld
If you mainly want to play GameCube, Wii, or full-speed PSP at higher resolutions, the RG 34XX's 1GB RAM and H700 chip will feel limited. Also, the 3.4-inch screen is small for text-heavy RPGs or games with tiny UI elements. Consider a larger-screen model if those are priorities.
RG 34XX questions answered
What systems can the RG 34XX play?
The RG 34XX supports ported games and emulation for PSP, PS1, Dreamcast, NDS, ARCADE, GBA, GBC, GB, SFC, FC, MAME, MD, GG, PCE, NGPC, SMS, and WSC. Performance varies by game; lighter titles run well, while the most demanding PSP and Dreamcast games may need adjusted settings. Check the specific games you want to play against community compatibility lists before buying.
Is the 3.4-inch screen big enough?
The 3.4-inch IPS screen is compact but sharp at 720x480. It works well for handheld-style games and classic consoles, but text-heavy RPGs or games with small UI elements can feel cramped. If screen size is a priority, look for a larger model. Consider your preferred game genres: small screens suit action and platformers better than complex strategy or RPGs.
How much storage does it have, and can I expand it?
The RG 34XX comes with 32GB of TF/MicroSD storage. That is enough for a starter library of retro ROMs, but larger collections will need a bigger card. The storage is expandable via the microSD slot, so you can add more space later. Plan to buy a larger microSD card if you want to keep a broad library on the device.
Is the RG 34XX worth it?
At a catalog price of USD 34.99 (compared to a USD 69.99 list price), the RG 34XX offers good value for a pocketable retro handheld with a laminated IPS screen and broad format support. It is a sensible choice if you want a low-cost way to play classic systems up to PS1 and Dreamcast. If you need more power for higher-end emulation or a larger screen, save for a more capable model. Set a clear budget and list your must-play systems; if they fall within the supported range, the RG 34XX is a cost-effective pick.
