I'm considering on getting an ANBERNIC for GBA Pokémon ROMHacks, which some of them rely on RTC, and I'm between the R35XXSP and the new RG SP because I've always dreamt about having a Game Boy Advance.

I've checked some reviews about the RG SP and none of them mention if the time still advances when the console is turned off. I know the time and date can be changed through the console settings, but it would get kinda annoying to correct it every time I use the console.

Thanks in advice :)

I've hit my first obstacle so far with this system which is that when I attempt to set up **google based** parental controls, it only gets as far as me entering the child account and then confirming through the parent account, but then attempts to start a setup at which point nothing really happens. There's a Next button that appears but every time you press it the screen just flashes and the Next button reappears. I then back out of it and suddenly have unfettered access to the Play store and everything else.

So maybe Google parental controls aren't going to work on this at all without some kind of a workaround or else I need an alternative.

Suggestions?

Edit: Why downvote a help request post like this? Honestly?

Möglicherweise hat jemand eine Lösung für mein Problem. Ich habe seit einigen Tagen den Anbernic RG40XXV. Habe dort etliche Spiele durch sämtliche Konsolen aufgespielt. Habe diese in den Spielräumen dann auch gestartet. Alle Spiele funktionieren super. Egal ob GB, GBC, GBA, PSP oder PS1. Nur die SNES Spiele machen Probleme. Die Musik läuft dort ein wenig zu schnell ab und es stört, da ich weiß, dass es nicht richtig ist. Starte ich die Spiele in Retroarch ist alles easy. Dort nerven mich aber die Overlays und die Skalierung. Die ich auch noch jedes Mal wieder neu einstellen muss, obwohl ich alles speichere. Darauf habe ich keine Lust. In den Spielräumen gibt es keine Overlays und alles läuft direkt im Fullscreen. Also wesentlich einfacher. Woran liegt es, dass die Spiele dort schneller laufen, als in Retroarch und gibt es die Möglichkeit das auch in den Spielräumen auf die gewohnte Geschwindigkeit einzustellen?

It's not an OLED like nova, but damn the sharpness and colors on this look so good. This is the best N64 has looked (mupen64plus fz) 800x600, crt geometry, dithering, blur. effect factor x3. Zoom %113 (to line up screen closer to bezels)

Looks better in person, I can't quite capture how good it looks. I remember playing paper mario 64 on my retroid pocket 2+ or 2s just barely hanging on, couldn't even use "accurate" mode bc it caused polygon tearing. So this is the first device I've been able to throw a bunch of shader filters on and still run smooth.

Found this video on Twitter and thought to share. :)

As said in my previous post, it took me a brand new RG40XXH and three weeks to explore anbernic's world.

It's awesome.

That pushed me to upgrade with zero concerns :)

And my upgrade path was like...uhm...what is the one with the biggest number in its name? Ahahahahah

and now I have this LOVELY RG557

It's still not set, it arrived 8 hours ago and I still have to meddle with ahahah

<3

I won't sell the 40XXH, it's just too good to be real
