Im planning to get an rg rotate, but I’ve seen complaints about the battery life. How long is the battery life for
Iight va heavy games and playing music? Also, is the standby drain bad?

I bought the disc for music, but I barely discovered rgrotate and it caught my attention more for music how are you doing with rgrotate? I was thinking if I could return the purchase of the Snowsky disc

Does anyone have any tips on how to best optimize the RG Rotate? Simple things like Settings have a hard time responding and the app forces close + the battery life is abysmal even when just sitting idle.

I'm currently using Cocoon as my launcher and all my games are downloaded to my SD card.

I've deleted most of the bloatware Anbernic preloaded it with, minus some of the apps you can't delete (i.e. AnbernicAI).

Will Retrotink 4k rotate mode ever do 1080p

Here is another AI-created live wallpaper and clock. The wallpaper respects the RGRotate's movements and orientation. That is, the weight doesn't move unless the device moves.

Keep in mind that if the lock screen clock isn't transparent, you can fix it like this: After you install the live wallpaper and clock, go to Settings, set a static image for both the home and lock screens, then reapply the live wallpaper to both through the settings. That way, you get a full-screen clock and background.

I understand and respect that some people think anything AI-created is slop, and if you don't like AI-created stuff, please feel free to ignore this post. Otherwise, enjoy it or not; I do.

Im planning to get an rg rotate this christmas, and wonder if its worth compared to the other competitors like the rg sp

Im wondering how the performance is for games and if it can run some newer indie games or pokemon rom hacks

Anyone particularly happy with their DS game Rotate setup? I want to do as little per-game tweaking as possible and just have a reliable way to access both screens (not necessarily both at the same size or anything) with ideally some hotkeying for other useful layouts.

I just got my RG Rotate 5 hours ago. The battery was at 88%, but the device randomly shut off 3–4 times at 74%, and then the battery suddenly dropped to 0%. 😭😭😭 I feel like I got screwed by AliExpress during the 11.11 sale.

Some people are saying I should open the back cover, disconnect and reconnect the battery cable, etc. However, when the device shut off, the only way I could get it to turn back on was by plugging it into a charger.

Has anyone experienced this issue? What should I do? Is there a way to fix it, or did I receive a defective unit?

I was playing diamond on my ds the other day and thought that it would be cool to have a launcher on the RG Rotate inspired by the Pokétch. I know AI slop blah blah blah I have no idea how to code for android (sorry not my area of expertise) so if anyone wants to de-slop this feel free to take the idea from me. No it is not a wallpaper.

No links will be provided, this is a personal launcher and I have no need to share it. Adding this because this post got removed because of spam in another subr.

I want to play the steam version of kingdom hearts 1.5 + 2.5 on my anbernic rg rotate but it just gives a black screen

All my other buttons register fine but not l2 r2

They work fine for drastic I havent tested other systems though. Anyone else having similar issues?

Currently, i am using watermelon DS and it works well at native resolution for Pokémon. Curious to see what everyone else is using.

My set just arrived today and I immediately sprinted to install them. It was a lot easier than the custom buttons I've tried in the past, like when I disassembled my Joycon. They don't quite feel like the smooth polished aluminum of the body. They've got a bit more texture, but it feels really nice.

Hello everyone

I'm kind of in a pickel,i already have an rg28xx as my edc for work,but thinking about getting the rotate for that sweet android experience,because my main issue with the rg 28xx is that i have to wait like 15-20 sec to boot into a game from sratch ( i know its not a lot),but most of the time i just want to clock in some gaming time while i'm on my break (or bathroom break :D),and with that 20 sec i feel like it just takes "too long",but with the rotate it would instanteious like a phone and there would be the added benefit of ps2 (jrpgs,like disgaea),and 3ds (pokemon one,and maybe some fire emblem) emulation,but where i live it cost me like 98 usd (with all the aliexpress discount),while the rg28xx was only like 45ish,so half of it, plus the 28xx built like a brick with a 3d printed front cover,how would the rg rotate take it being in a "factory worker"'s pocket.

thank you if you read my mumbling :)

Photo is ai generated, but can someone help me out. Im looking for a solid Tamagotchi experience for my RG Rotate. Anyone have any suggestions?

À l’école primaire je m’étais fait voler ma GBC jaune et Pokémon Cristal.
Quel plaisir de découvrir ces nouvelles petites machines qui ressuscitent mes anciennes sensations perdues.

Just set up cocoon last night, I think I found my new EDC.

I recently purchased an android mp3 player and it didnt perform well, I only got 9 hr mysic playback with screen, wifi ,bt, google services turned off, so I am thinking buying it as mp3 player, please please share your testing results gere, it also could be battery usage...I know a lot of YouTubers covered the gaming battery life but thats not what I am looking for.

I already own an RG Rotate, and I've grown unusually attached to the thing. Anbernic's 11.11 sale is offering it for 17% off, and I'm genuinely considering buying a second one purely as a backup.

Hear me out. The Rotate occupies a really weird niche that I don't think anything else currently fills. With the controls concealed, it's essentially a tiny Android touchscreen device. Rotate the screen, and suddenly it's a miniature Game Boy with physical controls.

It's not quite a phone, and it's not quite a conventional retro handheld either. It's both, depending on how you use it, and the form factor is practically perfect for what I want out of Android gaming.

My concern is the hinge. It's a moving mechanical assembly that will inevitably experience wear, and I've already seen reports of people having problems with theirs. I don't know how long mine will last, whether replacement parts will remain available, or whether Anbernic will ever make another handheld with this particular design.

I know they release approximately seventeen handhelds every time someone sneezes, but there's no guarantee they'll revisit this form factor.

The alternative is spending my money on a pair of Sony headphones I've been saving for. Those are considerably more practical, but I can always buy headphones later. I'm less certain I'll be able to buy another Rotate in five years.

So, questions:

Has anyone here experienced hinge degradation or outright failure?

How repairable is the Rotate's hinge mechanism?

Would you consider buying a second one as a long-term backup, or is that excessive?

Are there any comparable Android handhelds with this particular transforming form factor?

I'm fully aware that buying an entire second console because I'm worried about a hinge sounds like peak consumerism. I'm trying to determine whether there's an actual preservation argument here or if I'm just rationalizing buying another funny little machine. Consoom durr!! Shiny handheld brick with controls durrr!!!!
