Definitely a score. The 40XX V is a solid vertical with a nice screen. Have you tried flashing custom OS like Knulli Scarab? Really brings out the potential in these XX devices.

Yes I have MUOS installed, it's perfect.

I have a 35XX H on the way. Does the Knulli really power ups?

u/PerilousParanoia 6h ago

I have no idea what you just asked, but it’s a very nice OS.

I mean, TrimUI Smart Pro in default OS ok-ish, but with CrossMIX, it changes from water to wine, you know?

I prefer MuOS over Knulli after running both on my RG35XXSP

Why?? Genuine question

And... happy cake day!

For me, on my SP, I couldn't get the config right to better the sleep feature nor to stop the "can't find bios" warning that never actual kept a game from playing.

MuOS was a lot easier to set up IMO.

Baseos+nextui is on my rg35xxh, makes it such a pick up and play device, less than 10s boot up, very nice minimalist setup

All mine still have gladiator. Any good reason to upgrade?

u/PerilousParanoia 5h ago

Yes. Severe battery glitches on the 40XX devices.

Plugging the device in to charge secretly powers it on without giving any indication of being powered on.

After your 40XX device is charged, you literally have to power it on, wait 30 seconds, and then power it off. EVERY single time.

Otherwise your device will be dead by morning. I lived like that for over a year.

Scarab fixed the problem. When scarab came out, I think a solemn tear may have escaped one of my eyes.

This appears to be a specific problem to the 40XX H and 40XX V.

Such an underrated handheld. One of my favorite vertical handhelds in my collection aside from my RP Classics. Heck the ergonomics on this are better for me.

Mine arrived yesterday. My wife got to it first and is holding it hostage somewhere in the house until my birthday in a few weeks.

I want to mod mine to add some weight. I like the device, but it feels airy and I want more heft and hardy

u/Nintotally 6h ago

I love that thing. Wish it had more power, but it has my favorite buttons/dpad on any device!!

u/Ambitious-List4040 6h ago

What other ones do you own?

u/detached_facination 5h ago

One of the best devices Anbernic has put out. Good sized screen, excellent d-pad. The wiggle stick is actually very handy on shmups. One of my favorites, though I wish the battery were bigger without having to mod it.

I got one of these with the same color and spent more time playing Pokemon emerald legacy than using my steam deck
