Pros
  • I’m super late with this Anbernic RG40XX V review but I felt compelled to get it out now before Anbernic released another 20 handhelds next year. ! The RG 40XXV is a handheld emulato

  • They don’t have a lot of travel so you could position your fingers round the back and press down, which can be frustrating if you trigger a shortcut that, say, loads a save state and overwrites what you’ve spent ages on.
