RG405M Retro Handheld Game Console ,Aluminum Alloy Android 12 System 4.0 Inch IPS Touch Screen with 128G TF Card 3172 Games (RG405M-Black)

Product Information

Like the other Android-based Anbernic systems, the RG405M also has the handy feature to map the device’s physical keys to touch controls. DO NOT PRESS THE VOLUME DOWN BUTTON, only the back button on the front of the RG405M or at the right side of the RG505. It’s not a major issue for me, but for those who get a little too excited when gaming and move their hands or head a lot, they may be affected by this.

I do wish there was a way to change what art was in the thumbnail, it seems like it's a screenshot from the game by default but it would be nice to use the box art instead. And funny enough, this seems to be inspired by one of the worst handhelds to be released in recent times, the SZDiiER D-007. When it comes to sound, it comes out of those front-edge oriented speakers that we talked about earlier, which is acceptable. The shoulder buttons are still in-line and unfortunately not stacked as I would prefer but the L2/R2 keys are raised, which help to differentiate them and access each key individually. For me the RG405M is a retro gaming device, and if you use it as such, then you won’t be disappointed.Some of the additional features include added Performance Modes, a fix for the over sharpened display, corrected mapping for the L2 and R2 button mapping in android apps, and an updated GPU driver which improves performance on higher end emulated systems like PS2 and Gamecube. Depending on your D-pad placement preferences, your favorite screen resolution, and your love or hate for Skittles (I’ll explain later), the 405m may or may not be for you.

While playing those more demanding systems, the RG405M’s 4500mAh battery gave me an average of 2-3 hours of play time.This uses an algorithm to stretch the image slightly around the edges while making the display take up more of the screen. On Windows, ensure you install the Universal ADB Driver also, and then reboot your computer: https://github.

With Daijisho you can even select which emulator app you want to use on a per game basis as well as customize themes and other UI elements to make a more console like experience. Because of the increased size, they have added a 4” IPS touchscreen display with a resolution of 640 x 480, making it the perfect 4:3 ratio for playing most of your retro games. Control-wise, this is your typical Anbernic device, which to be honest, they have some of the best controls on their devices.While it’s noticeable, it’s definitely not unbearable and I did not mind it one bit, but again opinions might vary. The process is complete when you see the following in the flashing tool: POWEROFF - Finish - PASSED. The same company who had a good thing going for them in devices like the RG350P, RG351MP, RG351V, RG353M, RG353P, RG405M.
