from ambernik. Not only is it one of the

best

ambernik emulation

handheld

devices but it also works as a tablet and gamepad and in this review I will show everything you need to know about it. Hello everyone, before starting this review, you should know this. that the

rg353p

is just one of the three available models of the 353 series from embernik, there is also the 353v which is a vertical console like a Game Boy and the 353m which is a more compact console and made of metal everything that I am going to show In this revision it can be applied to all consoles.

They are basically the same model with different form factors. They have the same specifications, the same screen and the same operating system, so feel free to choose the console that you personally like the most. I think the 353b is the

best

and I'll show you why later let's start the review with the unboxing in the box along with the console, you get some extra items, let's take a look at the manual, it's pretty simple and shows everything you need to know to operate the system on my unit I have an additional 64 gigabyte SD card you get a glass screen protector which I already applied on a USB type-c cable for charging the overseas also comes well protected and I love this nostalgic look the buttons have the same color The Super Nintendo scheme and the d-pad and analog sticks are placed at a slight angle, which for me is one of the things that sets this console apart from the others.

With this angled position, it is really comfortable to use the analog sticks, especially in comparison. With the previous model, the rg503, also this time the buttons are perfect. On the previous model, the buttons squeaked against the case with a small chance of getting stuck when pressed, but this time they won't get stuck or squeak at all. The nice thing about this model is that the buttons are stacked instead of being in a line, so they are easy to press at any point on the top you have the reset and volume buttons, as well as ports for charging, adding peripherals or using the HDMI output and on this side you have the headphone jack and two SD card slots, one for the system and one additional, and the speakers are also located here behind the console, you have these two rubber pads that not only help grip the console but also prevent the console from moving. from sliding across a table and this rounded appearance of the Super Nintendo controller really helps with the ergonomics of the console, there's plenty of room to hold it, the glass screen protector is the perfect size, it doesn't even feel like it's there.

People complained that the button pivot was on the side, not the center, but it's the same as the Super Nintendo controller, which is correct in my opinion, the buttons are a little smaller than the ones on the Super Nintendo. Super Nintendo and it doesn't have the concave. The Y and ax buttons are a little bigger than the original joy-con buttons. When you turn on this console, it will boot into Linux system. Here you have a system similar to the rg503. You can quickly select the console and play any of the games in the list in the main menu you have tons of settings options if you want to see them in detail click on the card in the top right corner by pressing select you have a quick access menu and pressing select in a list of games You can quickly browse or organize games according to your preferences since this console has 2 gigabytes of RAM instead of one.

Gaming performance is much better this time around, even PSP games that were glitchy on the previous model now run perfectly on the first go-around. Oh yes, you win. Believe me, shut up, as the performance is better. You can disable integer scaling and enable normal far-axis filtering along with bilinear filtering. This will make the graphics cover the entire screen with minimal pixel distortion and you won't have any dropouts. in performance at all, even on Yoshi's Island, I didn't have any slowdown with these foreign options oh yeah, with the extra performance you can use more filters now foreign.

It should be foreign. In advanced Boy games you have two options: disable integer scaling and have uneven pixels as you can see here or enable integer scaling and have the image stretched slightly, but with the even pixels moving to the other functionalities , the power button also functions as sleep mode. You can pair any Bluetooth controller or connect it directly to the OTG port. you can rotate the console and play vertical Arcade games by moving to the d-pad test the d-pad has a pivot in the center and the diagonals can be easily accessed ambernik always has a good quality when it comes to the d-pad but unfortunately The analogue joysticks suffer from the dreaded on-axis dead zone, meaning that the analogue joystick will always stay in the cardinal directions and this is present on both joysticks.

The console also has a vibration motor and all the other buttons are very responsive and work great. Test the input delay, we will use the Run Forward function and set it to a frame. The performance is pretty good, so let's increase it to two. With two frames we get a significant drop in performance, so one frame is our limit. Let's put it on slow. The movement was now too fast, so let's reduce it further and as you can see, it has only one frame of input lag, which is quite good on the Linux system. If you press Start and go to the controller settings, you will see these two options here these options are effectively an X input and a d input.

Gamepad. You can connect a USB type c cable to the DC port and use your console as a controller for PC games. In the previous review of the rg503, it had poor performance on 64-bit systems, but now with the latest update it has been fixed, the resolution is a little low, although strange, but adding a scan line filter will make the graphics look better. see much better, you will have a slight drop in performance, but if you turn off the filters, the performance will return to 60 FPS. Another option is to change the rendering resolution. Don't forget to save the options in this menu.

Now the resolution will match the original screen, but with the increased resolution it will not. You can use the filters. DS games work fine, but you can't use the touch screen to interact with the lower screen. You will have to move the analog sticks and press the left stick to play. The resolution will also look very bad, but you can. press the F button, go to video options and enable high resolution 3D, this will fix the resolution issue and the performance is much more acceptable, but that's not all. This console has two operating systems, if you press the F button while turning it on it will boot.

Android Mode In Android mode, the touch screen will work and you can use it as a tablet, basically, you can even surf the web and watch videos on YouTube abroad. However, it does not have the Google Play store, but you can download the APK files and install it. normally and with this it is also possible to play Android games abroad, not all Android games will accept the controls and playing via the touch screen may not always be the best solution, so you can swipe down to access options and enabling this, it takes a while. to appear on the screen, but once the buttons appear on the screen, you can turn it on and drag the buttons to the respective controls on the screen and then you will be able to play with the buttons normally, although it is a shame that the Dead Zone sticks do It's very bad to play mobas or any game that requires precision.

Well, I guess for those types of games you will still have to use the touch screen with the Android operating system, you have access to better emulators like Duckstation in the world and how the touch screen works. On the Android side you can use it with DS games, now the Nintendo 64 emulator performs much better here too and I'll tell you overseas. With this button you can change the button layout from Switch to Xbox and this button will enable it. The embernik launcher is a faster option to launch your games without having to deal with the emulator interface with the Microsoft Edge browser.

You can play Game Pass games via cloud streaming abroad. It is very low with the HDMI output. You can also play on the big screen. the input lag will be a bit longer, although abroad you can even use it to watch Netflix and previously you had a lot of input lag when using a 4K TV with the latest updates, the input lag has been fixed, let's move on to the teardown of the The battery capacity is 3500 milliamps. Here you can see the display connectors and this time you have a thermal pad on the processor, on the left side you have the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi antennas, the side buttons are modular and everything on this board is well built. and easy to work with the speakers are easy to replace the analog sticks even the rubber membranes on the side buttons speaking of the membranes all the contacts are gold which helps the buttons remain responsive for a long time the screen is also well protected cons Although the model of analog sticks is a little different from the Nintendo Switch, they are welded to the sport, but as you may have seen in my drift correction video, this board could help prevent drift by providing better support for the metal shielding and even if they fail you can easily replace the levers as they are completely modular and that's it for this review.

Overall, the rge 353p is one of the best urban devices. It has everything you could want from this console on the Linux system. It has good performance. all consoles up to the 32-bit era and with the Android system you have access to Android games and good performance on 64-bit consoles and the additional features such as GamePad mode that are carried through Xbox cloud gaming They make this console even better. this console is a 9 out of 10. The only Vlog that prevents me from giving this console a 10 out of 10 is the dead zones on the analog sticks because they can make the controls feel light and precise in some games, while others are even It cannot be reproduced, which is the case with mobas.

If Ambernick fixes this, this will be his best console and that's it for this review. I will leave the links in the description to the three models. If you choose the 353v, be careful not to buy the 353vs. As this version will not have the Android OS, the 353m comes with Hall effect devices, but it still has dead zones, so it is not a real benefit and you can buy Halifax devices later and replace them in the 353p once they are available in the market. future, as always, thank you very much for watching this video, be sure to leave a comment or a like, subscribe to the channel and we'll see you next time.
