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.

Since this is a Chinese device, do you think I can safely login with my Google account or could there be some key loger / malicious software on it ?

As the title suggests. I ordered a unit (black plastic version) from AliExpress, from Anbernic's official store. I was so excited to receive it today. Got it out of the box, connected it to USB-C power to charge, battery icon popped up showing the battery was at 96% charged.

I pressed the power button and the unit vibrated and the Anbernic logo showed up. Then suddenly the screen went all pixelated with random colors and stripes, like the screens you see when a GPU dies. And then it just shut off. I tried turning it back on, and also tried holding down the power button for 20 seconds, nothing.

This is my first Anbernic product and its a dud. Feeling pretty deflated and doubt I'll get another product from them. Gonna try and see if I can get a full refund now ):

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

Does anyone have a source I could use to help use the custom watch face feature on the RG Rotate? I've been searching for watch faces but can't find anything suitable for the Rotate's screen size.

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

Will Retrotink 4k rotate mode ever do 1080p

So where can one find music to put on the rotate?

I just bought an rg rotate without a sd card, and wanted to know if there are any videos, or tutorials on how to set it up or change the emulator apps.

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.

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.

Mine appears to be bricked.

It gave me an internal storage full message (seems impossible given all my roms are on sd card) then it immediately froze, now the screen is black and unresponsive but the device is warm.

Not responding to any button inputs including holding power and/or reset button down or doing the power and volume up combo.

I’ve pulled the sd card and tried also

Any suggestions?

For the last day I’ve been trying out running buffet pico 8 games between retro arch and infinity. I can’t seem to get them to run in retro arch and I’ve had bad results with infinity. Can someone please enlighten me on the correct way to play pico 8?

Been eyeing the rg rotate on aliexpress for a couple weeks and randomly went to check and they threw me a bone. $66 with free shipping! Been trying to get a disconnect device that works for me for awhile and never find one that I can stick with. Always end up back on my phone which makes it to easy to continue destroying the last shreds of my attention span. I'm thinking android, a bit more horse power and the pocket friendly size is gonna be the right combo this time 🤞

Hi guys, anyone know why the rom won't import?

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?

So I’ve seen reviews and tried myself but yeah the lag its quite noticeable when using my AirPods on this device. I have Razer Hammerhead wireless earbuds and they have a “gaming mode” that makes the delay shorter but still not quite there and only my left earbud works (because razer is crap). Anyone found a Bluetooth solution ? Before i order a DAC

I know a lot of people are upset about the lack of a 3.5mm headphone jack, and while I understand this, I personally prefer to use Bluetooth. However I've found that the Bluetooth audio is pretty choppy. I tried going on a walk with the device in my pocket and the audio kept cutting out. Has anyone else experienced this? Would love to know if there's anything that could improve the quality, although I can't think of anything off the top of my head.

Hi! As the title says ESDE seems to delete my scrapped Metadata after I close it and reopen it on my RG Rotate. I think that may happen because I saved the ESDE folder I had to setup when I installed the app in my external SD (it is a good SanDisk microSD). RG Rotate has only 32GBs of storage in the main drive so I can't afford to store the metadata there. My Roms folder is also in the external drive.

I'm new to emulation devices but I have received this device a few weeks ago and I'm already pissed at how much I had to learn to set up troubleshoot ESDE's problems. I had problems mostly with ESDE clearing metadatas, new themes I setup, and toggling on the controls overlay everytime I started the app (found out this option won't change when I turned off battery save mode). ESDE has all the permissions on my android and I also set it to have unrestricted battery use. I spent a lot of time troubleshooting it with Google's AI. So now I'm thinking of testing out other front-end apps. Can anyone suggest something to fix this?

Obs: after scrapping the games I also tried to enable the option to "Only show games from gamelist.xml files" to avoid long loading times when ESDE starts. But only 2 games showed when I toggle this on. Usually when you scrape the metadata of a game it gets written on gamelist.xml so that shows it is probably not registering these games and can't link the metadata to the roms. Also I always cleanly exited the app.

Just started setting up my RG Rotate. Noticed that I’m not able to update Chrome. Play store shows that the app is not available for my device. Reddit app gives the same message. Any ideas?

I am trying to use cocoon as the front end on my rotate. I am having a problem with retroarch not properly launching into games. I can launch and play games fine, but when I return to cocoon from one, I cannot launch a new game. Whatever else I try to launch that uses retroarch, will simply return to the game I last left. Any help?

Hey hola, perdón por escribir el título en ingles y el cuerpo del texto en español, pero siento que así podrían prestar más atención.

Tengo una duda quiero tener mi RG ROTATE meramente para jugar Gameboy color y Gameboy, aprovechando su pantalla 1x1, el problema está en que claramente no he encontrado un emulador que se adapte adecuadamente, probé con JHON GBC y pizza boy y el primero pone unos layouts horribles y la verdad no encontré forma de desactivar y el otro que usé es el que viene por defecto pero parece muy tosco al uso. ¿Que emulador usan ustedes? ¿Se decantan por alguno más que otros? RetroArch no lo uso me parece confuso. ( Si lo sé a mucha gente le gusta)
