You’re so welcome! I hope it’ll be sooner rather than later :)

Quite literally would not have existed had Epic not funded it. Lake shopped it around for the better part of a decade seeing if anyone would be interested in funding it, but no one besides Epic would.
So, again, this game would not exist if Epic wasn’t involved.

Trust you to be sharing the RomM link!
Oh there was a discussion between the two teams (RetroDECK & RomM) a few days back on Discord, I forget whose Discord though, but when I saw that I thought of you! I’ll see if I can find the link/where I saw it for you.

Let me know how it works out for you, and if it works as what you’ve been looking for! I’ll be super curious to hear your thoughts

I don’t play that game, but someone on Discord asked me to try the Android version for them. The only issue I found was the UI was a bit squished in the intro set-up screen:
After that it is just fine! All the pinch to zoom gestures and so on work well.
Though to be fair I’m not sure what is normal and right, as I don’t play it!

Should be fixed now! Thanks for sharing your feedback, there’s a option to close it down, Gardiner just changed it

That’s really interesting, I hadn’t even noticed that banner existed!
This is all Gardiner’s side of things, I just sent your thoughts over to him, thank you for the comment on it!

None of these will affected! These retro handhelds aren’t officially certified Android Google Play devices, they just run the Play Store
You can find the list here:

Fair enough!
(Or just delete that app)

You’re 100% right! I mean to some time today, record a lil video of me sweeping it open then convert it to a GIF. I’ve just got a few things to get through first! Someone else reminded me I forgot to do that, which is…concerning since it is the BIG point on this handheld!
For now, check Anbernic’s own video on YT, it was a short one which shows the rotation well:

One of my favs! Such a fun 3 episode run (aside from the manga)
I LOVE IT SO MUCH!

GB, GBC, GBA (different aspect but they look great regardless, PlayStation, WonderSwan, Genesis, SNES
I don’t know, there’s a ton of 3:2-ish consoles which just look beautiful on here, people can get pedantic and state that none are true dead square, but they all suit this so well!

Usually I am a little hesitant to recommend things to people, but not this one. It is really, really fun. I have so enjoyed using it, and the fact it has a nice presence on my desk for things like music, podcasts, old anime? As well as gaming? Truly enjoyable!

Its a review. My honest review. I’m not paid to write on my friend’s site, nor do we run a single ad on there. Anbernic don’t have any say in what I write, and if I gave up my reputation as a writer for a device this cheap, I’d be an idiot.
I love the device, but if I loathed it I’d still share it here. I post all of my articles here.
Check my post history, if you still think I’m some deep cover ad agent then you can have my account, I can’t even be bothered with these insinuation today.

It definitely isn’t Corning who are covering the top of this one. It just ‘feels’ the same as my phone screens, but I’m not actually sure what the surface is! Someone else asked me to check, so I’ve asked my friend at Anbernic (will update here if I remember!). All I can say for sure now is that it has the exact same feel as all my phones do.
I’m like you though, in that I’ll be very interested in how this looks after say 6 months of use. It does come with a screen protector, and the soft case it has will protect it in transit.
- Comment on Hands On with the Anbernic RG Rotate: Weird, Unique, and Instantly my Favorite 1 week ago:
The case is really nice, and there’s a screen protector to put on there, but I will be VERY interested in seeing everyone’s Rotate after 6 months or so!
I’m that weirdo who kinda loves wear and tear on metal devices though. It shows they’ve been well loved!

I like to think of it as there’s a device for every single person’s needs!

I do love the Analogue Pocket’s philosophy and design, but:
Analogue Pocket which seems to do everything this does, and a little bit more
The Rotate runs Android. Which is a bonus to some, and a caveat to others. But it is infinitely more powerful as a retro handheld than the AP! The 'Pocket can’t run systems from the 32-bit era or later, while this can emulate a whole lot (with varying degrees of success)
I just think wanted to address “…everything this does, and a little bit more…” for anyone coming across this in the future!

gimme foldable
No, I wouldn’t give you a thing. Ever.
stop giving gaming a bad name
I really don’t understand what happened to society. Because you don’t like the design of a handheld you think I’m giving gaming a bad name? Fuck right off.

As for PS2 emulation, there are SO many devices which run it. These days the systems which are pushing the envelope on the retro handhelds are things like:
- PC gaming (Steam, GOG, Epic and so on) which is 100% super doable and impressive on Android.
- PS3 which is just really starting out, not fantastic but the games which do play, do so great.
- Switch! Super, super, super impressive on handhelds. Eden is the one emulator doing the hard work these days in my eyes. There’s also Ryubing (made by one of the original Ryujinx devs), but Eden is my pick.
- Wii U (a rather immature emulator, just getting started on Android).
It is a deep, deep world out there, with varying costs. But if you’re looking for PS2 games, upscaled and on the go in a tiny handheld? There is so many to choose from now!

I saw one reviewer was annoyed by a shoulder button feel. But I have tried my hardest and I haven’t been able to feel that sharp point/edge. I do have smaller hands, so that could be a factor as I play (where it might be a issue with larger hands)
I checked in with other reviewers, and I didn’t find anyone else who found that an annoying issue! But as with everything on retro handhelds, YMMV!

The headphone jack is totally valid for some. I’d not used a 3.5mm plug-in pair for sooooo many years (actually I bought my first pair of IEMs a few weeks ago for my new music journey, so there’s that!), so bluetooth is just my default go-to these days. But for some who prefer wired this will 100% be a let down, or a deciding factor
-
The back-firing speaker is fine when you hold and play it. Not once have I covered it with my hands or fingers! The only time it is a factor that drove me nuts was when I’d lay it down on a surface, face-up. That is when it gets muffled
-
The battery is perfectly fine! 5-6 hours with pushing it on higher systems, and maybe 6-7 with basic GB?
The best part is that you know exactly what you love, and what works for you. Lots of people make fun of how often devices get released, but the best part of that is that there really is a device for everyone!

“Or, you can just ask me what you’d like to know if you’d prefer to not! I love this damn thing. If I could wear it on a belt loop, I promise you I would be doing that like it is the olden days of phones!”
…just a heads-up, it is night here in Aus and I’m off to sleep. But, if there are any questions, I’ll reply in the morning! Damn timezone differences -____-
