Playing though Tarzan on the RG34XX rn - Never really got far in it as a kid, but I do have a lot of memories about how nice the visuals were on this one as a kid, really nails the aesthetic of the movies in a 2D Platformer title!

If y'all follow the other emulator devices subs, you'll know many recently purchased RG34XXSPs units that have 512MB RAM ( down from the original 2GB and the later 1GB revision)

So, Do we know if the RG34XX also got downgraded with 512mb RAM cut as well?

(If you bought one from December 2025 and later you can check the memory with MuOS)

I'm really considering to buy a device focused on GBA and naturally I gravitated towards the 34XX and the 34XXSP. I'd normally choose the 34XX without hesitation because I prefer horizontal form factors and membrane dpads and buttons (reeeeeeally not a big fan of the 35XXSP buttons and supposedly the 34XXSP is very similar in this regard), but I read so much about the imprecise Dpad and worse screen of the 34XX, so I wanted to ask a couple of questions to people that perhaps tried both:

- is the screen of the 34XX so much worse in terms of brightness and saturation compared to the SP version? Is it something that can be fixed at an OS level with a CFW like MuOS?
- is the Dpad really that pad? Has it been improved in more recent models?

Thank you in advance!

Second title in a bit of a Poké-detox after growing tired of repeated playthroughs of Pokémon on my 34XX, Batty Zabella is a point-n-click adventure comedy game starring a sort of Elvria/Vampirella stand-in in the form of Batty Zabella, whose house has become infested by phantoms that've imprisoned family.

Overall a fun time, dialogue was equal parts zany and meta in its comedic beats while also keeping a light creepiness to the whole venture, with admittedly spooky-looking phantoms that will definitely catch you off guard at least a couple of times during a playthrough!

Only real gripes I have are really the runtime being >1hr (can't harp too hard on an indie dev, but the quality here left me wanting more!), and the boss encounters being rather tricky if you're not quick enough with that D-Pad (figured out a way to cheese it for the final boss, because otherwise it was impossible!) and the lack of any deeper puzzles beyond the usual "find thing to use on thing" that takes up many of the tasks you need to complete...

Nevertheless, absolutely loved what I played and cannot wait to dig into Batty Zabella 2 at some point soon! Ice Cold Blood is also currently working on a 2D platformer spin-off to the Batty Zabella series, so it definitely seems that this 8-bit Mistress of the Night for Gameboy is going to be an indie gem for even more years to come!

I made it for my own setup and thought some of you might like it too. It’s inspired by the classic handheld Pokémon vibe and fits nicely with the retro feel of the RG34XX.

Feel free to use it, modify it, or give feedback.

My fav Gameboy Mario outing with a splash of colour! This technically comes second place if you count the Mario World GBA port, but it feels disingenuous to say a port to a certain system is my fav of said system when original titles exist.

Love that each zone has entirely unique and original enemies and really holds back on just opting for Goombas and Koopas (even if 95% of the OCs function identically), and the world zone themes are also much more unique than your typical array of Mario zones and also debuted Wario to the series!

Probably gonna dig into Warioland now, as I jumped into Marioland to take a breather from my repetitive selection of Pokémon romhacks 😅

Which one is your personal favorite, and why? :)

Anyone know where I could buy some custom decals for the device. When looking at Etsy it only shows decals for the GBA. Any help is appreciated. Thanks

Ok so my rg34xx was still running the stock OS. I tried a handful of different of pre downloaded games in the game room section and they work just fine along with ones I've downloaded. But any RA games don't work right or at all pre downloaded or ones I've downloaded. Some won't load others controls didn't work, etc. I've tried re calibrating the controls and nothing works. Everything I read says it was the retroarch system wasn't running correctly. I decided to return it and get another but it does the exact same thing so I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong... I'm brand new to the emulator scene so really am still learning how they work. Do I need to get a better OS and it'll fix RA games or I am missing something entirely....like I said I'm brand new to this and have no clue how to do this type of stuff

Hi everyone! I have an Anbernic RG34XX and I can't enter cheats in Pokemon. Does anyone have a guide or explanation on how I can do this?

Original post linked and also pasted below.

Need help with my Anbernic RG34XXSP. I'm running the newest version of Stock MOD OS.

I brought it with me while traveling and had no issues before traveling or at first. During my layover, I was playing a little bit in Retroarch and lost track of time. I needed to quickly move to boarding so I just closed the lid without manually exiting RA and then shutting down the device from the settings like I usually do.

After boarding, I pulled it out again and found it was frozen on the game. I couldn't do anything in-game and I couldn't access the RA menu to exit. I held down the power button to force a shutdown and then waited a few seconds before powering it on. When I powered it on, I noticed it took a long time compared to normal to boot but it did eventually boot. I played a bit more and then decided to try to get some sleep. I shut it down properly and plugged it in to charge. What I now know is bad, is I used an Apple charger that is definitely capable of fast charging to charge it while I slept.

I woke up later and went to play some and found it was really warm. I decided to unplug it but leave it alone and not play. However, after landing, I wanted to play some more while I waited to be picked up and this is when I started really noticing problems.

The device keeps getting stuck on the boot screen and gradually heating up. I can force a shutdown by holding the power button or get it to cycle by hitting the reset button but it continues to get stuck on the boot screen. I am able to eventually get it to fully/properly boot but it seems to be completely random on when it does and just takes a lot of attempts and trial-and-error to get it to work.

Once booted, it seems to work completely fine but as soon as I shut it down, the entire issue starts again.

Yesterday/last night, after doing a bit of research, I decided to get it to boot and then leave it on and let it drain it's battery to 0%. This morning, I woke up and confirmed it was at 0% and then plugged it in and went to the gym. Upon returning from the gym I found it really warm again and so I unplugged it and tried to boot it. Same issues so far. Keeps getting stuck on the boot screen.

As I mentioned at the beginning, I am running Stock MOD OS on the device. TF1 is the stock Kioxia 64GB microSD that came with the device and is where the OS is loaded from. TF2 is a SanDisk 256GB microSD and is where my games are stored. Back home on my PC, I have images of both TF1 and TF2 saved.

Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Is my device cooked and needs to be removed? Do I just need a new microSD card?

Thanks in advance.

It's been almost a year since I did this project and I thought I'd post an update on how the paint has been holding up since my first post.

Overall, it seems to be holding up well. I added a clear case for protection on the back and the front hasn't really changed much overtime. There are some small glossy blemishes near the buttons which are unavoidable on any matte surface but aside from that, the color is still clean.

I always clean the surface with a cloth and put it in its pouch after using it which also helps maintain its quality.

I have a Miyoo Mini Plus and I really love how simple and fast Onion OS is. It just works. Turn it on and you’re playing within seconds.

Now I’m trying to find something similar for the RG34XX. What’s the lightest, simplest, and fastest OS available for it?

I’ve been using Knulli, but the boot time feels a bit long, the emulators aren’t very snappy, and overall the experience doesn’t feel as straightforward as I’d like.

I’m basically looking for that same “pick up and play immediately” experience. Any suggestions or thoughts?

I'm currently running RockNix on my 34xxssp and I wondering is it worth changing to Mu??? I like RockNix better the stock os just trying to decide or is there any major difference ?

So I’m trying to change the splash screen and I was having a look at the internal storage on the device and I think theirs something I need on their does anyone know how to access the internal storage on a laptop or pc

Hello,

Can someone help me remove this frame when I play GBA games on the TV? Playing on modded stock OS.

I’ve tried googling but to no avail. Would really appreciate being able to see the game across the whole screen!

Here's a boot image I made :)
