The media could not be loaded. My only experience with similar consoles like these are the cheap knockoffs you get with claims of sometimes "over 2,000+ games!!" with 80 to 90% of them actually being retro cartridge games along the lines of "Contra" and "Super Mario Brothers" in terms of quality. This unit, however, eliminates the need to buy multiple systems, controllers, discs for vintage games, etc., all of which can get vsuper expensive in a short amount of time and STILL not give you complete portability to play your favorite PS2 / GameCube game on the bus, in an Uber or sitting in a waiting room!The RG405M is leagues upon leagues above those sort of devices, even the ones that plug into your televisions directly from a main console. For the first 2 weeks, I was playing this whenever I had a free moment and just couldn't put it down! The included set of games does have a large section for NES style and Sega Genesis style games, too, with very limited game quality and genre to choose from, but it also has capabilities of playing higher end games that are usually involving a separate unit altogether and a television, like the Nintendo Wii, a Dreamcast, or different PlayStation models. It comes preloaded with a VERY IMPRESSIVE set of games that run flawlessly and all you really need to do is learn which emulator on the device controls which game and assign a folder for it to access the included games for that system. I never would have dreamed that I could play Wii games in the palm of my hands without owning a physical system or accompanying games like that.One thing to note is that some of the preloaded games are coded in Japanese. Not sure why, but just know that a game you like may have its title show up in the game list in English, but may actually be in Japanese. I also noticed initially when I was playing that one of the buttons, specifically the R1 trigger, felt a little different from the rest as it did not rebound the same way that the others did. Eventually it stopped working entirely, sometimes enabling itself when I pressed nearby buttons or tapped it slightly with my finger with no intention to use it. Contacting customer service, I was able to show them the issue directly by email and they were very quick with the response to replace the unit. I can't promise that for everyone, but they were very helpful in diagnosing what the issue was and issuing a compromise. Nothing much else to say about this as it is built so well and is similar to other models and design but has a more intuitive layout in terms of gameplay, at least to me, since I grew up on PlayStation games and the related controllers. You have the ability to play games that used to be on the Gameboy Advance and Gameboy Color as well. Some will require the screen to be flipped or to show both screens, but doing a little tweaking, you can get those games to work to your favor.There's so much innovation and customization you can do for these games and emulators so just do a quick search on the internet for any sort of modifications you want to set in place and they will retain that information after closing and re-opening your games. Last thing I want to note is that the battery life is INSANE!! I could play for literal hours upon hours and actually did so the first few days I had this, trying to beat a Zelda game, Ocarina of Time. Ignoring the frustration of the game itself, I really enjoyed having this just readily available to get back into casual gaming.Sometimes it's just a hassle or it feels like a lot to have to turn on your PS4 or Wii or legacy hardware + your TV and make sure your controller is plugged in / charged and all that stuff just to have a good time. With this, I can play in my room, in bed, while sitting in a car, waiting in traffic, and just anywhere I felt comfortable. The touch screen is responsive, too, and sometimes it makes it a little easier to interact with some of the games. Saying that this is impressive is definitely an understatement and if you're into Retro Gaming and multi-console gaming but don't have the flexibility of gaming on the go or access to all of these devices, this is definitely something you should check out to suit your gaming fix!

I would recommend not buying this device unless you're somewhat familiar with the ins and outs of setting up and configuring Chinese emulation consoles (or at least some form of tech tinkering, nothing with this device is truly complicated).If you are familiar with Chinese emulation devices, with a GammaOS-Lite install this might actually be the perfect general handheld. Fantastic build quality, insane battery life, and very ergonomic, I genuinely have no real complaints.That being said if any of the below are important to you in an emulation console, skip this device:1. Display out2. Linux OS3. Emulation beyond PS2

The media could not be loaded. The item is defective, it worked well for the first few hours then lines and spots started to appear on the screen that are not very noticeable when playing but if you go back to the menu or close the game, what I can see is that it looks better while the screen gets hot while running games but they appear as soon as it is closed and the screen loses temperature. It also has minimal cosmetic signs that are not very noticeable but it should not have or one would not expect to find in a new item, the manufacturer does not give a direct guarantee because it was purchased on Amazon so I would keep this in mind.

Does exactly what I need it to do great product. Recommend getting a grip as well feels way better with one

Feels great while playing. Runs smoothly. Lots of great games. I only regret setting it back to factory settings. It no longer functions at full compacity as far as how how the settings work. Overall still a good system. It would be better if the firmware could be updated more easily.

I love vertical handhelds and this one was fantastic. Absolutely love the design of this handheld it's like a canceled gameboy color 2 prototype. The unit is actually pretty comfortable when you get use to it but your comfort in very long play sessions may ultimately depend on the game. Anything requiring the two analouge sticks and the triggers will ruin your hands. The battery life is ridiculous I never had this thing die on me even after playing all day a few times. You could run up to psp with ease, gamecube and ps2 requires alot of sacrifices to work tho. My unit sadly came with a gnarly amount of back light bleed on the bottom of the screen. At first it was fine but the moment I started playing more games that involved alot of darkness it sucked. It eventually got to much that I returned my unit. The screen outside of that was fantastic the color is nice and since 4:3 games fit so snuggly in it no black bars. But 16:9 on it is not great because how tiny the window in those games get in order to fit the screen. You can get over it unless you have bad eyes like me. if you like vertical handhelds and want the most powerful one on the market then this is for you.

The RG405V/M is probably one of Anbernic's best retro handhelds to date. It's very versatile, and it being an Android device, it can also play Android games and really anything that you can download on the Play Store. Please keep in mind that, while you'll hear people talk about playing Gamecube and higher on this device, it really doesn't play it very well. Anything from the Sega Dreamcast and below will work perfectly, so make sure you keep your expectations in that range.That being said, the form factor of the 405V is perfect for me. I prefer vertical handhelds, and with how much bigger it is than the RG35XX that I already have, it's wonderful for 3D games that are too much for the 35XX. The screen is beautiful, and once you get rid of stock Android and install GammaOS, it's practically seamless in terms of retro emulation.
